Chapter 228 Dragon Roar
"Are these things still useful?" Gui Daiju asked with a frown after looking at the side for a while.

"It is useful. In fact, there is not much modern steel technology that can match it. It can be said that it cuts iron like mud..."

The young man sighed, pointed to the symbol on the spear and explained: "This is a simple process, making the weapon, engraving runes on it, adding the power of runes, but it is the most important part. ring--"

"Because the mysteries of these symbols are endless, the inscriptions must be absolutely accurate to be effective, and there must be no slight deviation. Moreover, the runes themselves are not two-dimensional. This is just a simplified version of the form of expression. Masters may not be able to directly construct runes with more than three dimensions..."

Speaking of this, Mu Xiu touched his nose in embarrassment.

Just as the basic meaning of words is "images or symbols that record ideas, communicate ideas, or carry language", this is its concept, and what is written on paper or other material carriers is the visual expression of its meaning. form.

After all, as long as a word is written correctly, everyone can understand and interpret it.But if it is not written, it is just not expressed. It does not mean that the word and its symbolic meaning do not exist.

The same is true for runes, which are carved on animal skins, wood chips, stones, crystals, metals, or gems that represent these symbols. They are the "language of runes", but they can use the mysterious power more intuitively and be understood more easily. That's all.

——But the rune itself is not in the form of a two-dimensional plane, which is an important knowledge.

"Let me see the others." Mu Xiu turned his head and reached out to absorb a battle axe.

It was a barbed battle ax with a huge head in the shape of a crescent moon. The handle, which was also made of ash wood, was more than one meter long. It seemed that this design was very conducive to striking downwards.After the combination of the above runes was deciphered, it also showed that the ax was very powerful.

It can even be used to break shields—as long as a strong enough fighter raises his hands and smashes down hard, the enemy hiding behind the shield is basically finished.

Mu Xiu looked at the skeleton warriors below, and based on the height of the skeleton, he found that none of the dead seemed to be less than two meters tall, which was enough to use such a heavy weapon.

It's just that now they only have bones left, not even dead spirits, they are simply active under the action of some unknown mechanism, so their own power is very small.

Therefore, these bones only look scary, but they have neither the ability to lift the ax to charge a heavy blow, nor the ability to project a spear from a long distance, nor the ability to draw a strong bow.

The pure thing is to raise the weapons in your hands, and before they are crushed and flattened by the AIBO killer Graham, they are constantly slashing at the latter's body, like a blunt knife cutting leather.

It's just that with the power of the weapon blessed by the runes, even such a powerless attack will continue to leave deep or shallow cuts on the robot's steel shell, and the accumulated damage will be considerable up.

Already, the steel shells of two AIBO killer Grahams have been completely broken, exposing the internal circuit boards and circuits. Lightning sparks continue to emerge, and their actions have begun to become shaky. Will completely fail and be dismembered by those bone frames.

So Mu Xiu dispatched them to the forefront without hesitation, and pushed forward in a more brutal and direct way, smashing and trampling countless skeleton warriors along the way, allowing them to continue to exert their residual heat in the final stage of operation.

After checking all kinds of swords, axes and shields along the way, Mu Xiu has basically determined that this is a Viking style, but there are differences, and it looks a little older.Coupled with Lu En's words, all of this is self-evident.

Norse mythology...

……

……

Taking a long breath, Mu Xiu stood up, condescendingly overlooking the dark ruins around his feet.

Although under the cold light of technology emitted by the robot's eyes and the light of only a dozen flashlights, only the huge ruins of an abandoned city can be seen, and it is only the tip of the iceberg.

But it is also enough to make people feel the mysterious and majestic atmosphere of ancient vicissitudes from the edges of those outlines. Combined with the seemingly endless skeleton warriors, it looks extremely bleak, weird, and terrifying... and the surroundings are so cold The feeling was in stark contrast to the rigid mechanical sense of the robots under and around everyone.

This surreal style of painting is too weird.

Everyone has just felt that they are a lonely wandering hero, walking in the dark dungeon and twisted monsters. They haven't decided whether to tell their stories to the new rookie adventurers next to the fire in the future. Immediately was pulled back to reality.

Among them, the members of the countermeasure room are the most distressed——

Sure enough, I and the others are professional fighters, and they are completely incompatible with the style of the funny guys around me, but the worst thing is that the fighting power of the funny guys is greater than that of the combat guys, so there is no place to reason...

This ancient city seemed to be built with huge rocks, and now everyone is walking among those ancient boulders.Up to now, the curiosity in everyone's hearts has gradually overshadowed the original fear, and even brought a trace of boredom, because this is completely different from what they originally expected.

Apart from the panic caused by not being able to return the same way at the beginning, it seems that nothing else has happened until now?
As for those skeleton warriors, they are simply good-looking, and they are not a big threat at all, except for the number.As a result, more than a dozen AIBO-type killer Grahams rushed all the way through this sea of ​​skeletons, breaking through a path.

Because they are really dead, they are not undead or death knights, they are just corpses moving under the action of some kind of force, and pounced on them with the weapons they used to live.In addition to the huge number of them, and the relatively good rune equipment in their hands or on their bodies.

It's no big deal, the fighting power of even a few of them alone is not as good as a Type D evil spirit, but they are just walking dead puppets, so in addition to physical strikes, the large-scale means of exorcising evil spirits also lose their effect.

Mu Xiu even completely lost the idea of ​​doing it himself, but he didn't relax his vigilance easily, because the vague sense of crisis-like omen has not disappeared.It's just obvious that these miscellaneous soldiers who don't know how many there are now should not be the source of the sense of crisis.

"Could it be that the whole city died here?"

Muttering in a low voice, Mu Xiu saw an AIBO killer in front of him. Graham finally retreated. It was so dilapidated that it staggered down, and it was about to be covered by the crowd tactics of those skeleton warriors. inside.

His eyes were fixed, and a powerful magnetic field was instantly generated, and it controlled all the ferromagnetic substances on the AIBO killer Graham.

So even though the robot could no longer work, it continued to move under the influence of external forces, as if there were invisible silk threads entwined in the air to control its body. land.

For Mu Xiu, it is not difficult to wirelessly transmit power to so many robots and perform radio wave control at the same time.He is also very happy to do this, at least he will not waste his energy and others on these meaningless miscellaneous soldiers.

Slowly, the skeleton warriors behind could no longer keep up, while the bone density in front began to become thinner again.

Seeing that he had finally escaped from the edge of the sea of ​​skeletons, Mu Xiu cut off the boulders on both sides of the road behind him with a single knife, and the road behind him was blocked with a loud bang.

For this kind of development, other people just glanced at it and didn't pay attention. Anyway, there is indeed only one way forward at present.Because as long as they go back, they will immediately encounter various "accidents" that emerge one after another, otherwise they will not believe that there is any powerful force in the depths that is still alive.

That will seems to be preventing them from leaving, and driving them to it?

As time goes by, because there is no concept of day and night in the underground space, many people don't know how long time has passed. They only feel that it may have been a few days in a trance, but when they lift up their watches or check their phones, they find that it is only a few days. Until around five o'clock in the afternoon.

That's right, if it had been a few days, they would have been so hungry that they had no energy?
Man-made traces, ancient characters, these things are gradually becoming sparse.

The vaguely shaped stones and symbols could no longer be seen around, and there was nothing that could provide clearer information, but Mu Xiu knew that he and others might have crossed the ruins of the entire ancient city, from one edge Another edge has been reached, but this is not all of the ruins.

The ancient boulders on both sides had disappeared, and it took several minutes for everyone to realize that they and the others were in a terrible dry and cracked river valley.

Some strange fossils gradually appeared in the surrounding area. The distant light shone in the past, and it seemed to be a part of the skeleton of some kind of incomprehensible prehistoric giant beast...?Unknowingly, the surrounding environment and terrain seem to have become very ancient times.

But no one felt any sense of achievement and joy, but almost everyone felt inexplicably stunned at this moment, as if there was some magic sound echoing in everyone's ears, stirring their imaginations .

The roar of some peerless ferocious beast came from the deep underground——

What the priest said was right, it was a kind of horror that made people's souls collapse on the spot, the so-called soul flying away.

Even Mu Xiu's mind went blank for a moment, but his strong mental strength allowed him to instinctively resist this negative state, and faintly triggered the will in the will through the bee-sucking Misaki. "Lock" - after the manic mental state recovered, the will lock did not disappear.

Because of that level of perfection, the resulting boost is nearly permanent.

It's just that Mu Xiu himself didn't know because his mental state had returned to normal unconsciously and there was no comparison.But now this mental dam that increases willpower helps Mu Xiu better keep his mind and wake up as quickly as possible.

But the severe pain in his head almost made him faint. Unlike the other people around him who were just blank and seemed to have lost their ability to think, he did not suffer a direct mental attack, but a ferocious and majestic faint roar The roaring sound seemed to touch a certain restricted area in his mind.

"This whistling sound seems to be..."

Some broken fragments gushed out from the gaps in memory, bit by bit repairing the blank period of a certain part of his memory.

"—Dragon Roar!"

The words that suddenly sounded seemed to have some kind of magical power, which woke up all the people who were in a trance, and then they found that they and others seemed to be distracted for a long time, and the surrounding environment and terrain were completely different.

It was as if a desperate gust of wind suddenly blew up on the flat ground, and the fury shown in the whistling sound was like an evil spirit, wreaking havoc in this huge space of eternal barren underground darkness, but some silhouettes appeared in front of it——

It was a huge dark crack leading deeper underground, and the interior seemed to be a void emitting black light.

It seems to be an ancient tomb that has been dead for countless years, leading to a world full of mysterious light and fog.

Only the raging wind howled by the majestic air flowing out from there, the peerless roar of a god-level beast that everyone heard just now seemed like a collective hallucination.Only the indebted steward heard the words that someone just woke up everyone, and his expression was very reluctant.

"Well, student Mu Xiu, you are just kidding..."

"It's not a joke." The boy stared at the dark crack leading to a deeper place in front of him, interrupted the other party's words, and said firmly.

"——I just slaughtered a giant dragon with my own hands not long ago, and the howling sound just now is definitely a dragon!"
