On the Seven Towers

Chapter 897 Goodbye Li Jia

This time, after the memory search provided the direction, Li Jia's soul light ball did not disappoint Xiao Chen. As they walked along, Xiao Chen finally felt that he was slowly approaching the core of the maze.

The tunnel here not only became delicate and real, but also began to be decorated, with torches on the signs and floor tiles on the ground. As they walked, several mages felt that the mental fluctuations belonging to Li Jia in the space were becoming more and more intense.

They walked to the end of a passage and found that there was a door there. The soul light ball in front of Xiao Chen jumped excitedly a few times, appearing very unstable, which had never happened before.

"If I'm not mistaken, Li Jia should be behind this door." Xiao Chen said.

His hand pushed in the air, and the door opened to both sides.

It was very quiet behind the door, but the scene inside was beyond everyone's expectations. Behind the door was a hall. In the empty hall, there was a monster lying on the ground like a small mountain. The monster was covered with shells and spikes, which looked very scary. There were many burn marks on its body, and many vines and grass leaves grew on other parts. It seemed that it had been attacked by fire and natural magic at the same time. The fatal injury of the monster should be on its head. A crystal clear small tree grew on its head. The tree was red in color. The deeper it went to the roots, the darker the red color was. The developed root system broke the whole head of the monster, as if it grew on the body of this monster and sucked out its blood as water. This should be some kind of strange natural attack magic.

However, the monster was not alone. Its forelimbs were a pair of huge blades. At the tip of its left arm blade, it was carrying a corpse. It was a priest in a robe. The priest's head was drooping, his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something incredible. A big hole was opened in his chest, and blood dripped down his body to the ground, accumulating into a large pool. Now the only sound in the hall was the sound of the remaining blood dripping onto the ground.

"This is the Thunder Beast! It's really this big!" Lin Lichuan said. The Thunder Beast is the largest ground combat unit of the Zerg in the "StarCraft" series. It is difficult to appreciate its size in the game due to the distorted proportions. Now that it has been projected into reality and placed in a room, you can truly appreciate its amazingness.

"The one opposite is the priest Ferrario of the Temple of Nature. I have seen him in Ivette's memory." Xiao Chen walked over and carefully observed the priest. "What killed the Thunder Beast was his special skill, the Crimson Tree. It is a cruel magic that plants the seeds of the blood-sucking tree into the enemy's body."

"However, the Thunder Beast projected by Li Jia is quite powerful. It can actually fight against a master on equal terms and finally perish together." Lin Lichuan said.

"This is the weird part. The real thunder beast in the game is much bigger than this one and can easily destroy a building. But what Li Jia projected was just a monster with greater power. Do you think such a blade alone can pierce a master's shield?" Xiao Chen said.

"Indeed, even if such a blade pierces Ferrario, it cannot destroy a master's defensive magic. It should be resisted, not pierced through his body. Unless someone eliminates Ferrario's shield during the battle." Luo Ling said.

"Could it be that Li Jia cast a dispelling spell?" Xiao Chen gestured with his hand, "Look, the entrance of this giant blade is on the upper part of the chest, and after passing through the body, it pushed out from his lower back. This angle is consistent with the height difference between the giant beast and the human. The burn marks on the giant beast are also from bottom to top, and the angle is consistent with the piercing of the giant blade. This shows that when they were fighting, the giant blade of the thunder beast was at most one or two meters in front of Ferrario. Then Li Jia appeared, eliminated the shield, and the giant blade pierced into his body. At this time, the life of the thunder beast was also at its last moment, and the crimson tree on its head drained its blood. The two of them solidified here in this posture."

"This should be the biggest possibility, but the question is where did Li Jia go?" Luo Ling said.

Xiao Chen observed the surroundings of the hall. He could clearly feel that Li Jia was around, but there was no trace. He pushed the soul ball beside him out. The shining ball of light trembled eagerly and flew towards the thunder beast, and finally stopped on its chest.

Xiao Chen felt the fluctuation of the soul ball of light and murmured: "It's like this..."

"What's wrong?" Luo Ling asked.

"This giant beast is the destination of most of Li Jia's remaining soul." Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, "In other words, this is... Li Jia."

"What? Li Jia also turned into this monster in the end?" Chen Hansheng said.

"Li Jia's souls are all in this monster in the end, about one-third of it." Xiao Chen said.

"So is he dead or alive now?" Chen Hansheng asked.

Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment and said: "This is also what I find strange. This thunder beast seems to be almost dead, but the soul fluctuations shown by Li Jia have not completely subsided. Could it be..."

Xiao Chen walked forward, grabbed a piece of carapace on the chest of the thunder beast with both hands, and pulled him down with force. Mollett and several other soldiers also came to help. After a lot of effort, everyone finally peeled off all the carapaces close to the soul ball of light.

There was a complete and clean space in the chest of the thunder beast, with a reclining chair inside, and Li Jia's body was lying on this chair at this time. It must be from here that he launched the dispelling magic. He lay there like he was dozing in the summer, with his eyes closed and his body motionless, but if you look closely, you can find that he is no longer breathing. Xiao Chen cast a floating spell on himself and slowly floated to Li Jia's side. As soon as he touched Li Jia's shoulder, the wizard robe on his shoulder collapsed and turned into dust and drifted away with the wind. Xiao Chen's action was like touching a domino, and countless dominoes fell down in order.

The same was true for Li Jia's body. Starting from his right shoulder, this body began to collapse little by little and turned into countless dust. It took only about ten seconds for Li Jia's body to disappear. Only those powerful magic items remained in their original positions. Once Li Jia disappeared, they fell from the air and landed on the chair. A new soul light ball was born from Li Jia's disappeared head. The two light balls intertwined and attracted each other, and finally merged into one.
