Chapter 300 Locust Crossing

  Relying on the duration of the Dark Realm, the three launched various long-range attacks on the Son of Heaven.

   Judging from the emperor's previous performance, he should not be able to see the darkness outside the spiritual circle of words. The enemy is dark and we can see, so he can only passively defend.

   "Obstacle!"

   At this time, the Son of Heaven stayed in place, relying on the transparent barrier before, resisting all the attacks around him.

  All magic will automatically fail the moment it touches the barrier, which can be called an absolute defense, but the price is that the magic power of the emperor is declining rapidly. Obviously, maintaining this absolute defense consumes a lot.

   In less than half a minute, half of the nearly ten thousand mana points of the Son of Heaven evaporated. His speech spirit field is very powerful, and if used properly, it can have the effect of changing life against the sky, but the "reasonable use" here definitely does not include being a sandbag that cannot fight back like now.

   Now the Son of Heaven had to change his strategy, giving up this no-dead-angle defense method, and chose to withstand some ordinary attacks, only resisting those magic attacks that deal too much damage, and began to try to move in the direction of Mu You and the other three, preparing to counterattack.

   In this way, the consumption of magic power has indeed slowed down, but the wounds on the emperor's body are also rapidly increasing.

   "Heal!"

  After the injuries had accumulated a little, the Son of Heaven used the Word Spirit again, and the injuries all over his body healed instantly.

  But at this moment, a sharp light from the side of the knife suddenly struck. The emperor's perception in the field was different from ordinary people, and he immediately noticed this, knowing that this was the woman with the sickle just now.

  However, he no longer relied on his words to dodge this knife. The purpose of his coming here was not to fight the opponent to the death, but to investigate the intelligence. It is very necessary to experience the strength of the opponent's attack for himself.

  The Son of Heaven moved aside relying on his physical attributes. Although he couldn't completely get out of the way, he also avoided the vital point.

  The sickle scraped across his shoulder, bringing out a faint line of blood.

  Lin Xue maintains the fighting habit of retreating with one hit, and immediately exits the scope of the speech spirit after hitting.

  The Son of Heaven didn't care, thinking it was just an ordinary attack and defense.

   But immediately after, he suddenly noticed that a skull-shaped mark appeared on the shoulder where he had just been attacked.

  The mark itself did not bring him any substantial negative effects, but the moment he saw the mark, the Son of Heaven felt an instinctive disgust and fear.

  The Son of Heaven didn’t know what it was, but he had a feeling that if he didn’t get rid of this thing as soon as possible, it might bring him unbearable consequences…

   It was almost a subconscious reaction, the emperor immediately used the spirit of speech to remove the mark: "Untie!"

   With an order, the imprint slowly faded.

  However, the imprint was successfully removed, but the consumption surprised the emperor.

  The remaining half of the magic power in his body disappeared instantly as if it disappeared out of thin air!

  A simple word for 'jie', Yan Ling, actually consumed nearly four thousand points of his mana?

  While the Son of Heaven was distracted, Mu You's attacks in the distance would not stop.

  The Son of Heaven, whose magical power had bottomed out, temporarily lost the opportunity to use his speech skills again. As a result, he was instantly slashed by several wind blades, bleeding all over his body, and his life dropped sharply.

  However, just as Mu You was about to beat the dog in the water and continue to attack, he heard the emperor who fell to the ground in the distance, uttering two words clearly.

   "Explode."

  The next moment, the place was suddenly covered by a large group of flames, and with the sound of crackling, the body of the Son of Heaven was directly turned into powder and disappeared in place.

   "It's self-destruct again..."

  The emperor's self-destruction did not hurt anyone, but Mu You could only watch the emperor disappear, unable to do anything.

  Speaking Spirit Barrier + self-detonation teleportation, no wonder the other party dared to come alone, this combination is too stupid.

  Shaking his head, Mu You stepped forward, and picked up the fragment of the map on the ground where the Son of Heaven disappeared.

  When the Son of Heaven died, it happened to be within half an hour of the phantom thief’s reserved stealing time.

  The battle was over, Lin Xue and Xiaoya saw that Mu You had picked up the fragments, and they all came to watch.

   "What's the number?" Lin Xue asked.

   "Number one..."

   Mu You looked at the number on the fragment and sighed secretly.

  In fact, he had already expected this result.

  The Son of Heaven's action turned out to be giving Mu You a fragment for nothing. If it is a fragment with relatively high value, even if it is marked, the other party may not be willing to give it away.

   As for Fragment No. 1, only one-third of the content depicts the map of Sky City, and the rest is marked with the external environment and entrance.

   That is to say, the No. 1 fragment is invaluable before entering the city, but once it finds the entrance and enters the Sky City, the value of the fragment will depreciate sharply, and its importance is far less than that of the No. 3 and No. 6 fragments.

   It was precisely because Mu You's appointment letter was marked with the No. 1 fragment by coincidence that the emperor was willing to use it as a bait, on the one hand to lure Mu You away, and on the other hand to investigate some information incidentally.

  Exchanging a fragment that is almost useless for some important information is obviously a good deal in the eyes of the other party.

   "No matter what, with the map, at least I won't get lost in Area 1..."

  Mu You took out the previous fragments and put them together, and the content on the No. 1 fragment was displayed immediately, and the exit path was clearly marked as expected.

   Now that he holds fragment No. 125 in his hand, more than half of the road to the center of the city is smooth.

   As for the missing three and six, Mu You probably has little chance of snatching them. Tianzi and others have suffered a loss before, and they will definitely not give him another chance to kill and explode. Most of these two fragments have already been transferred away in advance.

   That is to say, in areas 3 and 6, he can only think of other ways.

   "Let's take one step at a time..."

   Mu You shook his head, picked up the No. 1 map and looked at it, planning to write down the contents of the map first.

  But at this moment, he suddenly felt a sound of breaking through the air behind him, and subconsciously moved aside.

"careful!"

  Lin Xue's voice sounded half a beat later, and at the same time as she made the sound, she had already rushed forward with her scythe, and the blade slashed across, easily cutting a mollusc creature in half in mid-air.

"octopus?"

   Mu You stared at the severed creature on the ground, it turned out to be an octopus the size of a palm.

"How could there be an octopus in this kind of place?" Mu You's expression was strange. There were no living things in this ruined city, not even insects or plants. It was completely a dead city. At this time, a living octopus suddenly appeared. It's so strange...

Just as he was thinking, he saw the octopus that had been cut in half squirm on the ground. The broken body, like a slime, fused together again to form a complete octopus. With a hiss, it rushed towards Muyou Come on, and spit out a mouthful of acid in the middle of the mouth.

   This little octopus is only at level four or five, and its attack power is very weak. Mu You gave the venom at will, and with a few swipes of the arc sword, he dismembered it into eight pieces.

   But what is surprising is that under such injuries, the pieces of meat on the ground are still wriggling hard, as if trying to get together again.

  Mu You simply raised his wand with the tip pointing down, flames spewed out, and grilled a pile of minced octopus on the ground.

   As a result, the imaginary scene where the minced meat directly turned into charcoal-grilled octopus did not happen. These minced meat seemed to have a high flame resistance, and they still squirmed together in the flames like no one else.

   "An octopus that can't be killed?" Mu You was a little interested. The survivability of this thing is abnormally excessive.

   Just when he was about to continue his research, Xiaoya's exclamation suddenly sounded behind him: "Boss, boss, look!"

  Mu You and Lin Xue looked in the direction she pointed, but the scene that caught their eyes made them both shudder at the same time.

  On the street not far away, countless small octopuses with exactly the same shape emerged from various buildings, climbing towards them.

  The walls, streets, stone carvings, and doors are all covered with dense octopuses. This overwhelming scene is definitely a nightmare for all trypophobia patients!

   "?"

   Mu You looked at it in a daze, what the **** is this?

  The next moment, the octopuses seemed to riot collectively, piled up quickly in front of them, and finally condensed into a super-large octopus foot.

  The octopus leg opened an eye and mouth, and when it saw Mu You below, it immediately let out a roar as if it had met an enemy, and then the huge octopus leg twitched, rolling towards the three of them.

  The three of them jumped away in a hurry, allowing the octopus to jump into the air, shaking the ground three times, forming a huge gully in place.

  Following the three of them, before they had time to catch their breath, the octopus legs instantly transformed into countless small octopuses, scrambling to crawl out of the gully, and continued to chase and kill the three of them.

   Now the three of them can only continue running, as for turning back to confront? I dare not even think about it, this number, coupled with the survivability shown by this small octopus, is simply not something that can be dealt with by ordinary means. Once it is submerged by the octopus group, it is almost certain death, and at this time it can only run away.

   "You two come in, I'll run!"

   Mu You took out an empty backpack, opened the entrance, and let Lin Xue and Xiaoya enter.

   This place can be regarded as a world of its own. The backpack that was placed in the chocobo before cannot be opened here, and the mount cannot be used. At this time, it can only run on two legs.

   After the two of them got into the backpack, Mu You put the bag away, grabbed hold of it and started to run away again. He looked back halfway, and the octopuses were still chasing him desperately, as if they had spotted him.

   "To the point, what a hatred..." Mu You muttered secretly.

  When the huge octopus foot appeared just now, Mu You had already confirmed the identity of the thing with the familiar coercion emanating from it: the octopus king!

  Mu You doesn't know how the Octopus King got stuck in the bug, but this thing is much weaker than the Octopus King from outside, only about one-tenth of its strength.

   But even so, this thing is a creature that is infinitely close to the legendary level, and it is definitely not something he can fight against now.

  Just as Mu You was running wildly in the No. 1 area.

  In another direction in the distance.

  The Son of Heaven automatically resurrected here, and woke up faintly from the ground.

   Opening his eyes, he saw that his teammates were surrounded by god-given teammates.

   At this time, the location is already close to the exit of No. 1 area.

  The Son of Heaven breathed a sigh of relief, his forehead still sweating slightly.

   "How is it?" Seeing the Son of Heaven appearing, Smile, the Demon and others rushed to ask.

   "Losing..."

   "Isn't it normal to lose? This is too risky!" Smiling and sighing.

   "But the harvest is worth it." Said the Son of Heaven.

   "Oh? What did you see?" the devil hurriedly asked.

   "Those two people are not legendary!" the emperor said with certainty.

   "Really?"

"sure?"

   Others' eyes lit up when they heard the words, and they hurriedly asked.

"Um."

The Son of Heaven nodded: "The specific level is uncertain, but judging from the opponent's attributes during the battle, the level of Captain Ghost should be around level 22-23. As for the other red sickle girl, her level is even lower. Her Adding points is more extreme, it is not easy to judge the level, but it will definitely not exceed level 21..."

   "Then there is another one?" asked with a smile. When they came in, they had already received the information that the other party came in with three people, except for the ghost captain and the red sickle girl, there was one more person.

"The other one, the ID is hidden and his identity is unknown, but apart from his relatively good summoning ability, this person is very mediocre in other aspects. He should be just an ordinary player, but he can be specially brought here by the ghost captain. Maybe he has some special abilities. ..." said the Son of Heaven.

"In short, don't worry about this person. Captain Ghost is indeed very strong and has a lot of fighting methods, but as long as you don't meet one-on-one, you don't have to worry too much. At least their ability to upgrade to the legendary level, It should be unusable here..."

  The Son of Heaven paused, his eyes suddenly became serious: "Actually, what really needs attention is the girl with the red sickle, to be precise, the sickle in her hand..."

   "Oh? What?"

   "Whether they are legendary or not, the sickle is genuine. I can't say for sure. In short, be careful not to be hit by the sickle, even if you wipe it..." said the emperor.

  Others looked at each other in dismay when they heard the words, and they couldn't even wipe it off. Is it so scary?

   "However, since the opponent's strength is only this way, can we... shoot directly?" Smiling and thinking for a while.

  They didn't dare to lead the army to directly collide with the ghost captain, because they were afraid of the opponent's legendary method, which could easily wipe out ordinary members of their team, and their advantage would drop sharply at that time.

   Now, since it is confirmed that the opponent does not have legendary strength, it seems that the crowd tactics can be used to bully the opponent by numbers...

   "I think so too!"

  When the devil and the others heard the words, they were also quite moved. They are obviously the strongest side on paper, but they have been suppressed by the two so-called legendary ranks for so long, and they seem to be passive everywhere.

   "The captain of the ghost has obtained the No. 1 fragment, and he must be close to here soon... Let's ambush in front of the No. 2 entrance." The emperor pondered.

   It may take some time to fight head-on with Captain Ghost now, and it will be difficult to kill the opponent to grab the second fragment, but as long as you can kick the opponent out, it is definitely worth it.

  As for Jack and his gang at the other end, he didn't pay much attention to them.

  Others were excited when they heard the words. What the emperor meant was obviously to find the other party to fight head-on.

   Didn't say much, everyone rushed to the intersection ahead, each found a location and hid quickly, waiting for the ghost captain to approach.

   And Mu You didn't keep them waiting for too long. About ten minutes later, everyone heard a loud noise coming from the entrance of the street in the distance.

"coming!"

  Everyone was ready for battle immediately, weapons and attacks were ready in hand.

   This place is the only place to enter the second area, so don't be afraid of the opponent's detour.

   "This voice... why is something wrong?" Smiling and listening to the movement in the distance, she couldn't help frowning.

  Not only him, but others also noticed something was wrong at this moment, because even the ground was trembling slightly at this moment.

   Didn’t you mean just three people? It's like the great migration of animals. What's going on?

   is in a daze, and the noise ahead is approaching quickly.

   A few seconds later, a figure first crossed the street corner ahead and appeared in front of everyone. It was undoubtedly the ghost captain.

  At this moment, the ghost captain was running towards them, seemingly completely unaware of the trap ahead.

However, before everyone was happy, they saw countless mollusk creatures emerging from behind the ghost captain, overwhelmingly climbing along the streets in all directions, and approaching this side quickly. No matter what locusts crossing the border or zombies besieging the city, it is not enough to describe what is in front of them. The density of this creature.

  The people ambushing here were all dumbfounded.

"What is this?"

"octopus?"

   "Why is there an octopus in this place..."

   "This number, at least more than 100,000..."

  …

  The scene in front of them was so exciting that everyone saw the ghost captain approaching, but for a while, everyone didn't know whether to attack or not.

   If you make a move now, it seems that you will burn yourself...

   At this time, Mu You was the first to discover the hidden people around.

   "Yo, they're all here!"

   "Exactly, come and help me!"
