You call this a shield?

"Ah... Is the captain here?"

Sticker still had his eyes closed.A slightly weak voice came out faintly: "Sorry, I can only lie down and talk to you temporarily."

"There's nothing to be sorry about."

Sheld stepped forward and knelt down next to Stike: "Priority is given to the wounded. Besides, there are no such vain rules between us."

"Well... a little bit of bravado."

"Where did you hurt?"

Sheld asked with concern.

"It's okay to be injured..."

"Ok?"

Shield focused, is there anything more serious?He pulled himself together, held his breath and leaned down to listen, and looked at Stick with concern - even though Stick couldn't see it with his eyes closed.

"I'm going to die..."

Stike turned his head slightly, with a "peaceful" face: "This kind of different pain is rare..."

Ikes covered her eyes slightly, and looked up to the sky in a speechless state. Obviously, she already knew about this matter, but even if she knew about this matter, she still couldn't help being speechless, while Shield fell into a state of petrification.

"I wasted my feelings."

Sheld stood up expressionlessly, his body became a little stiff.

He came to Omar's body and threw an investigation skill over.

"Omar Stolt (Lyderrose), a human corpse that has been gradually out of the human category, died by suicide."

"..."

Is it okay to die by suicide?

Sheld scratched his head, turned his face and asked, "How did this guy die here? I even went to the upper floor to find him."

"This may be a bit long to say."

Stike gasped for a few breaths, then sat up slowly with the help of Ikes, opened one eye slightly, and stretched out his hand to Sheld: "Help me, and put my waist Take the scroll, and we will talk as we walk."

The second volume is surging: Chapter 290 Chapter 180 Chapter [-] After the calm, is there a disagreement?

Sheld roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

He didn't expect the other party to take the initiative. They went to the upper floor to find Oma, but Oma took the initiative to come to the lower floor... No, it should be called Biron?

Of course, the completion of the task is not that Biron himself has been solved, but this body called "the source of the plague".

Escaping the golden cicada is a lich's forte, as long as the soul box is not found, it can reappear almost anywhere, as long as a suitable body is found.

At the same time, Sheld also felt a bit of fear. Fortunately, Stike happened to be a professional counterpart to the Lich. If other people were there, they might not be able to beat the Lich.

"In other words, our entire whereabouts have actually been exposed under the nose of that Lich, but the Lich doesn't seem to be on a completely unified front with the crow."

Judging from the situation recounted by Stike, the lich and the crow in white clothes are not in a subordinate relationship, but more like a cooperative relationship. While the two have reservations about each other, they also do not cooperate very well in some subtle places. .

It was like the lich who controlled the monsters, but when the white crow was killed, those monsters just watched the white crow being easily killed.And the Lich also complained about killing the real Omar Stolt earlier, and now Aldrich was a little too impatient.

Moreover, the lich didn't seem to have fully revealed its whereabouts to the crow.Otherwise, the White Crow would not have reacted so unpreparedly when he saw them.

"There are so many secrets in this world..."

Shield and his party sat on the towering container, looking at the busy people below. For Kumin Stolt, this was a sharp drop in population, no matter which district it was, basically suffered a heavy blow.

The remaining people probably don’t even have time to be sad, and they will have to devote themselves to the rescue and reconstruction work one after another in the next time-but it stands to reason that everyone will not live in the lower level in the future. Is it the middle class?

"Dalter and Aldridge are so slow..."

"Coming."

Sheld looked at the green dot on the map panel. The two of them moved relatively slowly, but they were not still. They guessed whether someone was injured or something.

Most likely Dart.

If only Aldridge was injured, it might be faster for Dart to carry him back directly.

"Stike, do you still have the energy to use the soul stone? I guess Dart will need it later."

"No problem, I guess the most serious thing is some severed limbs."

"Also", this word is used well!Doctors who performed limb replantation operations in previous lives would cry... Sheld yelled at Rina who was directing the work below: "Rina, how about you pick up Aldrich and Dart? They should need Someone lends a hand."

"Eh? Where?"

"It should be on the other side of the passage, according to the distance..."

"I'll go."

Catherine stretched her waist: "It's easier for me to find the way, and it's safer for me to go. The little girl asked her to help here. In case there are monsters along the way, she may not be able to deal with them."

"Then please."

Watching Catherine go away and putting everything to an end for the time being, Sheld finally had time to look at the rewards he had received.

"White pick" rewards.

"The body of the Aegis: As a shield, no matter how weak the body of the Aegis is, it can become a shield to protect the partner! It can resist the next fatal attack every day, and its effect will be reduced to a near-death attack. This number of times cannot be superimposed. day reset."

Is this some special arrangement of fate?Because Stike happens to be able to be pulled up as long as the person is not completely dead, so this task is destined to be completed by Stike, and the corresponding skills are rewarded?

Sheld thinks the name of this skill can be called "Stike, I can save it again".

Tucao belongs to Tucao, it does not prevent Sheld from feeling that he has made money, after all, this skill can be called a god level.

Because, according to its skill description, this skill has no upper limit at all!As long as it meets the description of "fatal attack", it is within the scope of skills, and it is simply at the level of causality.

This means that whether he is shot in the head or hit by a meteorite, it is all equivalent to being stabbed in the stomach for him, and he will die, but he is not dead yet.

The ability of the body to resist nuclear bombs.

"It's just a little less once a day."

Sheld thought about it carefully. After all, with his physical attributes, any heavy attack could be fatal.The trigger frequency is extremely high, and he belongs to the feeling of "agility shield" and "auxiliary shield".

Before Shield pondered for too long, Catherine led Aldrich and Dart back.

To Sheld's surprise, neither Dalt nor Aldridge had any injuries, but the two were carrying a stretcher that couldn't be more rudimentary. Obviously, this was the "culprit" that delayed their time.

Sheld raised his head and looked over, only to see a "humanoid creature" like a dry bone lying on a stretcher.Seeing this tragic situation, the people around stopped what they were doing, looked at the stretcher curiously, and slowly surrounded it.

"Don't surround it! Don't surround it! So much water has entered and must be drained quickly, and there is over there! The injured have to be treated, and if the rescue team brings the injured, you will not be able to deal with it! Pay attention to other areas It’s been a while since there’s been a response, so let’s get people to check on the situation!”

Rina prevented everyone from watching, but discussions were inevitable.

"I'll go down and have a look, and you guys just stay up there and watch Stike."

"I'm not a serious patient..."

Steve shook his head helplessly.

Sheld pushed through the crowd and came to Aldrich's side. Only when he got closer could he confirm that there was only one person lying on the stretcher.

But it is already in a human form, and there is no human form.

"This is……"

"It's the curse of the dead tree..."

Aldridge gritted his teeth and said, "Some people have weak constitutions, such as the elderly who are already sick, and the curse of dead trees is completely fatal."

The white crow said that the real name of the curse of the dead tree is the blood-burning insect. No matter what kind of name it is, it seems to be true. The whole body seems to be scorched. There is no trace of blood under the skin, and it is completely dry.

"Then, you brought him back..."

"The Curse of the Dead Tree...Look!"

Aldridge pointed to the chest of the corpse.

Sheld stared carefully for a while before he could see the clues. It was because the skin was all carbon black, and the thing to be observed was really inconspicuous. It was a scar-like thing that radiated to the surroundings and protruded like a scar on his chest. Like a blood vessel, even if the person is dead, a very slight pulsation can still be seen there.

"That's what the dead tree curse looked like after it took shape. It's been a long time since I've encountered this kind of corpse, so I want to bring it back to study why this thing happens."

What kind of Frankenstein, but according to what Stike said before, this guy's research has become the basis for the follow-up research of the Lich, and he is called a genius by Biron... It can only be said that geniuses do have "overcoming" in some aspects. people".

"Ah... But, that Omar Stolter has already been killed by us. It stands to reason that the source of the curse has been removed?"

"really."

Aldrich nodded: "But it doesn't mean that everyone is cured, and no one casts a curse, which means that their descendants will no longer be troubled by the curse... But the curse of the existing people can only be cured. Keep trying to figure it out.”

"so……"

Sheld patted Aldrich on the shoulder with some regret: "Sometimes I think that you should just be a full-time researcher instead of a king."

"If the time is right, of course I would be more willing to do so."

Aldrich sighed: "But I have to take some responsibilities, this is a debt I owe, I hope I can pay it back before I die..."

"Wait a minute? Before you die?"

Sheld frowned: "Don't you also have the seal of Phoenix? Will you still live after death?"

"That might not be that easy."

It was not Aldrich who answered Sheld, but Stike who walked slowly with the support of Neveu and Ix holding his staff.

"The Seal of Phoenix is ​​not such a powerful thing. It can indeed regenerate people one after another, but... other lives are not the phoenix itself after all. Some people say it can make people immortal, and some people say it can make people immortal. Rebirth—those don't have to be all right."

"But..." Stike put one hand on Neveu's head: "For example, Neveu is 60 years old, if it is eternal life, why is the period of adulthood raised to such a subtle and accurate number as 60? "

"That means...?"

"In other words, the Seal of Phoenix may not be immortal, but the lifespan has been magnified and extended. It is even possible that after the second rebirth, the extended lifespan will be shortened. The third and fourth times, the Seal of Phoenix The power of the body will continue to weaken, and the effect of prolonging life will also weaken, until you become an ordinary person, and you can't even be reborn, maybe it is."

"Ah? Then the book I read is not fake?"

Catherine looked surprised.

"The book is not fake, but not all of the books. The legends are all people's speculation, not something very elegant and authoritative."

Stike looked at Aldrich: "And...Mr. Aldrich, since you can say this now, you should be able to feel the passage of time on your body,"

"Indeed." Aldrich smiled wryly: "Although his appearance hasn't changed, I do feel it."

No wonder, Neveu is an adult at the age of 60, if life expectancy is extended proportionally...

and many more?

Shield suddenly thought of a very serious question. If the curse of these people can't be cured now, it means that the power of the elemental stone must continue to run Cumin Stolt, right?

Then their original purpose of coming here was to take away the elemental stone!

The second volume is surging: Chapter 291 Chapter 180 Chapter [-] comes to an end

The problem didn't stop there - but there were three people present who wanted the elemental stone.

Shield hadn't forgotten that Catherine wanted that too.

How to do it?Pre-emptive?but……

Sheld glanced at the busy people around him. He wasn't crazy enough to ask for something by any means, even if it cost the lives of many people.

He doesn't need to save people, but he can't just take the lives of innocent people.

The elemental stone... let's put it here for now, shall we?

There are other elemental stones that can also be used. It shouldn't matter if you lack this one, just one less skill.

Sheld quickly used his conscience to convince himself, but it was limited to convincing himself, Catherine... Sheld pulled Catherine aside.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Seeing Sheld's mysterious behavior, Catherine asked with some doubts.

"Before you said that you could let me pick any piece of your collection, right?"

"Correct."
