Whispering Verse

Chapter 775: Bone Dragon

The current location is the basement of the Fort Midhill Mechanical Academy in the narrow room. He just turned his head and looked behind him. On the wall covered with disgusting black slime, there was no door for Shad to leave, so Dai The flame that Sister Flynn split was indeed important.

Even the indoors are filled with fog. Unlike the fog in the real world, the former is only damp and cold, while the latter's chill cannot be blocked by clothing at all.

At the same time, the first few times I went deep into the narrow space, only my physical condition was affected. But this time when entering the narrow room, the unique influence on the spirit of the relic finally appeared.

When I first stood still and talked with "her", I didn't feel too serious discomfort. But when he started to walk out, every time he took a step, the strange feeling of dizziness as if he hadn't woken up became more and more serious.

When Shad came to the basement steps, he had to lean on the wall to rest. But fortunately, the afterglow state of divinity still protected him, and with the help of [Youth Immature Leaf] and the simple amulet he made based on the knowledge of elves, he gradually got used to it after a few minutes of rest.

Knowing that time was running out, Xia De didn't stay any longer and hurriedly left from the basement. . Perhaps because all the corridor windows were broken, the dense fog on the first floor of the castle was even more exaggerated than in the basement.

The plausible castle is not exactly the same as the real castle, so Shade didn't waste time looking for the gate, but left the castle through the window and came to the castle courtyard full of weeds.

Because when I helped Mr. Cops collect plants last week, I learned a little bit about the plant populations that can grow in the narrow space, so Shade was able to identify a variety of rare plants including corpse grass, snake heart grass and rotten soul flower. plant.

The lushness of these plants also shows that the forces of life and death in the narrow space have completely lost their balance.

From the location of Fort Midhill Mechanical Academy, the distance to the mountainside seal is actually shorter than to the natural church in the city center. But Xia De thought that it was more likely that Joey Barton would appear at the foot of the mountain, so he still headed towards the urban area.

The further out-of-control of the narrow space has caused a large change in the internal space. When Shade was avoiding the undead, he discovered that the abnormal space even made dangerous areas like "circular alleys" and broken spaces appear inside the narrow room.

In the process of advancing, he encountered a circular alley, that is, a section of seemingly infinitely long alley, walking in which he always couldn't reach the exit that seemed to be right in front of him.

Sharp perception made Xia De notice something was wrong in time, but fortunately he also has space power. At "her"'s suggestion, I used [Night Watchman] to draw a circle under my feet, and then knelt on the ground with one knee, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and inserting it into the ground under my feet, with my forehead attached to the hilt:

"Spatial Stability Halo!"

Clear glass shattering sounds appeared all around, and looking up again, the decaying alley in the white mist seemed to have not changed. But after only a few dozen steps forward, he left the range of the alley:

"As expected of an angel-level relic, what a pity"

Swinging the long sword a few times, it made a sound of piercing through the air. Xia De solemnly inserted it into the scabbard, and then continued to walk into the ancient city shrouded in thick fog.

The transmission of sound is suppressed in the narrow room, so even if there is a steam bomb explosion in the distance, Shad will most likely not be able to hear it. But the white mist has only a normal effect on hindering the spread of light, so you can see what's happening nearby from a high place.

The first large-scale vision Xia De encountered was a group of crows flying overhead. At that time, he thought it was a dark cloud appearing above his head, but when he looked up, he found that it was densely packed with black flying birds.

He was standing on the steepleed top of the marble building on the side of Five Forks, the real-world Carson Rick Mercantile Bank. Holding on to the statue of the gargoyle and trying to find the next direction, a flock of crows flew over.

Shad ducked behind the giant gargoyle statue, squinting to see someone flying above the crows with them.

"High Ring Warlock?"

The distance was too far to judge, but immediately, he knew why the other party was flying at high altitude. Because in the depths of the dense fog, a huge black shadow quickly appeared, and finally broke through the fog layer and appeared above Shad's head.

It was a huge skeleton, with wings growing from its back, bone spurs all over the long tail behind it, and red light dancing in its eye sockets. When it appeared, there seemed to be a gravitational force around the skeleton that could attract attention, and no line of sight could escape its body. And as an undead creature in the narrow room, this bone dragon has an extremely terrifying pollution. Even Xia De didn't dare to stare for too long.

"Oh, my little Mia, bone dragon!"

Compared with the bone dragon Shade encountered in the dead valley of the Fifth Epoch, this one is obviously smaller and less oppressive. But even so, this is also a genuine bone dragon, the most powerful undead creature that can be encountered in the modern sixth era under normal circumstances.

"I knew that there would not be only evil spirits in the narrow room of life and death."

He tried his best to shrink his body, hoping that the crows and bone dragons above his head would not notice him. But as if in response to Xia De's thoughts, the terrifying undead flying above his head raised his neck and swayed from side to side amidst a dull roar, and then spit out a black deadly breath forward.

The crows couldn't dodge in time, and large pieces fell from the sky like wheat harvested by a sickle. And the man who flew with the crows also fell to the ground. Although he used a spell like "feather spell" to slow down the falling speed at the last moment, it seemed that he was seriously injured.

It was very unfortunate that the place where he landed happened to be the five-forked road under the roof of the building where Xia De was located.

Holding a big book with a yellow cover in his hand, the man barely supported the ground to stand up, and immediately called out the eleven-ring life ring to prepare for battle, and the flying bone dragon also lowered its altitude.

It flapped its wings and glides low in the sky, lowering its head and blowing out black breath on the ground covered with long strips of bricks. Even though Xia De was far away from it, he could clearly feel how terrifying the breath contained the power of death, plague and curse.

The five-forked intersection has a large area, and the surrounding shops are all abandoned for a long time, so it is very convenient to dodge left and right. But the breath was drawn from left to right, so the unfamiliar high-level ring warlock could only resist on the spot.

He held up the book in his hand, opened one of the pages, and let the eggshell-like protective layer block his surroundings, and he took this trick completely.

"A thaumaturgy that looks familiar. Is it the seal of Heaton from the Church of the Sun? No, it looks more like Zaras School of Magic. Oh!"

The bone dragon that had already breathed out on the ground raised its altitude again. While the black clouds on the ground had not dissipated yet, it found Shade shrinking behind the gargoyle at high altitude.

Boom!

The body turned in the air, and the huge tail with sharp bone spurs swept towards it. The area of ​​the roof is only so big, Xia De can't dodge at all, he can only jump into the air suddenly. Behind him, the steeple-like roof of the marble building has been completely destroyed.

Adjusting his posture in the air, holding the sword in both hands, he subconsciously wanted to use [Sun Ray], or "Sunlight Cannon" to hit the bone dragon's head. But then he realized that there would be a lot of battles to come, and he absolutely couldn't waste too much soul here.

"Ragley's Leap."

The huge head of the bone dragon opened its mouth to bite Xia De, but Xia De had already disappeared into the air, appearing against the wall of the building on the southeast side of the street. With a kick of both feet, he jumped out with the power of the spell, avoiding another flick of the bone dragon's tail. While jumping in the air, the chain in the sleeve shoots out, wrapping around the flagpole of the protruding window of the building on the southwest side.

With a sudden swing of the chain, the whole person circled half a circle above the five-forked road, and then rolled on the ground to relieve the force, got up and stepped on the ground steadily.

The breath of the bone dragon on the ground has gradually dissipated, and the eleven-ring warlock who is suspected to be Professor Zaras is still alive, but he fell on the ground and was struggling to get up, looking seriously injured.

Xia De ran a few steps towards him, and then the two of them rolled on the ground a few times, avoiding the claws of the swooping bone dragon. That claw left two deep scratches on the already broken ground.

"Sir, are you all right?"

He looked poisoned, and Shad helped him try to hide in the building on the street while rummaging in his pocket for a branch to detoxify him. Looking closely, the book held by the Eleventh Ring Warlock really has the school emblem of Zarath School of Magic.

If it wasn't for the suppression of power in the narrow space, even if the professor lost, he wouldn't have lost so badly. Xia De remembered that in the Dead Silent Valley, the thirteenth-level witch, Miss Olan Nord, defeated an opponent who was more ferocious than the skull dragon above her head with only one move of "Moonlight Great Sword". Even if the contemporary ring warlock system is not as good as the witch system, the eleven rings are not unqualified to fight bone dragons.

"It's okay, this thing appeared too suddenly, I'm not good at dealing with flying things."

The brown-haired middle-aged professor spat out blood and said.

The two had already hid in the building next to the intersection that looked like a haunted house, and the bone dragon that had re-raised the height did not find them for the time being, but it did not leave either, but wandered in the thick fog above the intersection.

"Where did this thing come from?"

Xia De asked curiously while detoxifying, but the toxin of the bone dragon was not something he could deal with. After thinking about it, I found the answer from the knowledge of elves. So he found a fresh green leaf from his pocket, wrote the elf runes representing [Health] and [Strength] on it with a pen, and used the leaf and branches together as spell-casting materials to detoxify.

Doing this is equivalent to casting a "powerful detoxification technique". Although the consumption is a bit larger, the effect is very obvious.

"Thank you. I am the dragon of Raven Ogle, who flew down with me from Mount Xikal. The Chosen One summoned him, and that terrible dwarf is crazy. He is trying to fuse a 0-level relic. Although The human soul has limits, but he can indeed control a small number of powerful undead individuals at one time. This dragon, originally sleeping in the depths of Mount Xikar, was killed by a witch in the early fifth era according to the records."

The professor looked at the young man wearing a mask and said that he did not hide these things, Xia De frowned slightly:

"Joy Barton's on the hill?"

The green light in his hand is expelling the toxin, and the professor's face looks much better:

"Although I don't know who you are, you are indeed for the chosen ones. Yes, on the mountain, the church has seen him, and his goal seems to be the top of the mountain."

"I guessed wrong?"

Xia De was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that things should not be that simple.

"However, the witches also sent a message, and Joey Barton also appeared near the mountainside."

The professor added, Xia De nodded, knowing that it is not yet possible to draw a conclusion:

"Professor, is it okay for these things to tell me this stranger?"

The middle-aged professor leaning against the dirty wall smiled:

"Even if I tell you, what can I do? Now there is chaos in the narrow room, if you are willing to go up the mountain to stop Joey Barton, wouldn't that be great? Besides, you saved me, I should repay you you."

"Well, is there a way to deal with the dragon outside? If it doesn't leave, we don't even think about leaving."

Shad said, and then added:

"My level is not high, so I can't beat the opponent."

"Answer me a question first, pretending to have an accent in your mouth, appearing alone in a dangerous place, wearing a black coat, with a normal figure. Are you a 'God Caller'?"

"That question doesn't make sense right now."

"Yes."

After the powerful detoxification technique ended, the professor of Zarath wanted to stand up, but he held his forehead again, as if feeling dizzy:

"I have a Keeper-level relic on me that can deal with it, but it takes time to prepare, so I didn't use it just now. You take it and go defeat the Skull Dragon. As a reward, the relic belongs to you, but you need Swear to the gods you believe in, help me deliver a letter to the natural church in the narrow room."

Xia De thought for a while:

"I'm glad you can trust me. The relic is my reward for saving you, and the reward for delivering the letter is that I have to open the letter to check the contents."

The professor hesitated for a moment:

"Can."

He opened his large book, which seemed to have hundreds of pages, and stopped at a slightly back position. The page on the left is filled with densely packed small characters, and the page on the right depicts a white spar with a dragon inside with extremely fine brushstrokes.

He put his hand on the top of the page on the right, and then grabbed it violently, actually "grabbing" the white spar out of the page. At the same time, the small characters on the left page and the pictures on the right page all disappeared. The professor of the eleventh ring sealed the relics in the book by unknown means:

"This is yours. Keeper-level relic [Higgs Dragon Head Stone]. It can only be used when slaying a dragon. The opponent must not only have the attribute of 'dragon', but also be at least ten times the size of the user, otherwise the feature cannot be triggered. .Hold this stone in your hand, stay still, and stare at the target for more than ten seconds, you can use the dragon's breath once."

He paused:

"Yes, it's exactly what you think, and the consumption on itself is extremely low. The breath is only effective on dragons, and it only has a scaring effect on non-dragon targets. The negative feature is that there is a certain probability that after using the stone, the body will be irreversibly transformed become a crazy leader, but the probability of this is very low. The containment conditions are simple, just put it in pure table salt."

The surface of the white spar in the hand is very rough, and it even hurts to hold the palm tightly. And if you look carefully at the turbid interior of the spar, apart from the exquisite white-haired dragon that seems to have been shrunk and sealed into the spar, you can actually see a line of small characters. It wasn't any script that Shad had come into contact with, and it didn't even look like a script used by human civilization:

[If you are a dragon, that would be great. 】

"Are you sure that the dragon's breath used by humans can defeat that bone dragon? This is just a keeper-level relic?"

Shad asked again.

"This relic is designed to restrain dragons, especially impure dragons such as hybrid dragons and undead dragons. Moreover, even the lowest-level relic can defeat the highest-level relic if it finds a suitable application scenario. But I must remind You, the dragon breath attribute you spit out is related to your own power. If you are good at fire, poison, lightning and other powers, your throat may be hoarse after using the relic, and your lungs will be severely injured."

This relic really makes sense.

"It's okay, I have healing abilities."

"Now, you can also become a dragon slaying warrior."

The professor joked, and opened the book again to look for the medicine to heal himself. Not only did he have toxins on his body, but he also had other injuries. The battle on Mount Xikar was more intense than in the city.

Xia De shook his head:

"What kind of dragon slaying warrior am I? I heard that the balanced chosen one really slaughtered a pure-blooded dragon."

"I've heard of it too. But the other party is the protagonist of the era, the destined hero, the one destined to write epics. How can we compare with her?"

Holding the dragon head stone in his hand, Xia De left the building and came to the five-forked road again. Looking up at the top of the head filled with white mist, I caught the bone dragon wandering in the mist:

"ten."

The dragon didn't notice Xia De immediately, and was still hovering above his head.

"Nine."

It still didn't find Xia De, but Xia De already felt the stone in his hand was heating up, and his lungs felt a little hot.

"eight."

The dragon's flying movements became sluggish, and it took three seconds for it to finally find Shad.

"seven."

As if confirming the target and accumulating strength, the bone dragon didn't jump down immediately, but let out a roar in the dense fog. The voice was extremely dull because it was suppressed by the space. Xia De immediately felt a sense of mental oppression, and primitive panic appeared in his heart. This is the natural ability of dragons, of course, it has no effect on him.

"six."

The dragon swooped down, and Shad felt his lungs ache like they were on fire.

"five."

The bone dragon flew extremely fast, falling like a falling meteor. If this hit was hit head-on, even with Xia De's current physical strength, it would probably be so shattered that even Mia would not be able to recognize it.

"Four."

The dragon was almost in front of him, and Xia De subconsciously wanted to avoid the wind pressure and mental pollution that fell from the sky. But he suppressed the urge, and kissed the moonstone ring on his left hand, aligning it upwards:

"confusion!"

"three."

The bright yellow moonlight spilled into the sky, and the chaotic power affected the bone dragon's judgment as Joey Barton's summoned object. The speed of its descent slowed down significantly, but because the bone dragon itself was too powerful, the power of the thaumaturgy [Confusion] did not make it turn against Xia De.

"two."

Xia De withdrew his left hand, staring at the dragon that stopped in mid-air. He felt that his chest was expanding, and the feeling of vomiting made his entire upper body extremely uncomfortable. The [Higgs Dragon Head Stone] held in his left hand is using whispering elements to give Xia De strength. This is a very dangerous behavior. If he is not careful, he will fall into madness and transform himself into a dragon.

"one."

The bone dragon shook its tail in the air, looking at Xia De below with its scarlet skull eyes.

And Xia De closed his mouth tightly and took a deep breath, and from the eyes, nostrils, ears, and even the gap between his lips, there were bright silver rays of light shooting out uncontrollably:

"Roar!"

The sound appeared first, and then the shock wave caused by the sound wave swept across the entire block. In Xia De's mouth that opened to the sky, the bright silver moon beams shot straight into the sky like a light cannon. The devastating front hit the bone dragon, making it completely disappear in the light, and then Yinyue's dragon roar broke through the white mist in the sky, leaving a huge hole in the thick fog.

The silver light traces in the air lingered for a long time, as if the light left traces in the air forever. While the broken bone fragments fell to the ground without a sound, Xia De leaned down and held the ground, coughing painfully:

"Cough cough! Cough cough, oh, I feel like my whole lungs are going to burn. Isn't the power of moonlight supposed to be completely harmless to the human body?"

【You are a human after all, not a dragon. 】

"She" was chuckling, seemingly satisfied with the result.

"If this [Dragon Head Stone] can be used on any target, it must at least have a sage-level rating."

He took out the water bottle from his pocket and drank two mouthfuls of water treated with [Satiating Food]. The cold feeling finally made his lungs feel better.

Turning around and returning to the building, Professor Ogle of Zaras was still preparing potions to heal himself. The injury he suffered was not a simple trauma, so Xia De couldn't help.

"You are indeed a Godcaller. Although you are deliberately suppressing your own power, the silver moonlight is definitely not wrong."

Seeing Xia De walking back, the professor raised his head and said. Xia De shook his head:

"Give me the letter. I want to go to the Church of Nature as soon as possible."

"Where is your goal?"

"Because there is no answer, so I can only trust my own guesses"

"This is the letter. I actually suggest that you can cooperate with the church to deal with Joey Barton. As long as you show your sincerity, the church will be very happy to have a helper from the thirteenth ring."

Xia De shook his head, turned around and wanted to leave, but hesitated for a moment, and asked again:

"Excuse me, do you know where the headmaster of St. Byrence, the 'Silver Keeper' Professor Andre Pigman, is now?"

Professor Ogle picked up the Erlenmeyer glass bottle and asked softly:

"Then please answer one of my questions, **** caller, this time, will you call the gods?"

"I don't have an answer either."

The professor nodded:

"Then I see. Professor Pigman hasn't entered the bay yet, he's in the real Fort Midhill."

"The three thirteen-ring warlocks of the church, and the thirteen-ring magician of the academy, didn't come to the narrow city?"

No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense.

"Once the Scar of the Holy Tree ceremony is successful, as long as the narrow space does not collapse at that time, it will be able to postpone the issue of Fort Midhill for at least three years~lightnovelpub.net~ So enough high-ring warlocks are needed for the ceremony on the mountain The core position. Moreover, the seal of the Church of Nature is the most secure seal in theory. The Church of Nature has occupied this place for thousands of years, and has been operating the narrow space since the beginning of this era. Don’t they really have any extra means?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the purple potion in his hand. Judging from his expression, the taste of the thing was very bad. But then, the professor frowned, threw the thumb-sized glass bottle into his mouth, and started chewing, with an extremely ferocious expression:

"In the potion bottle I used during the war, I added a potion catalyst to make the potion I drank work better. Oh, it's not glass, it just sounds like glass. I'm vomiting blood, no Scratched by the bottle."

He smiled at Xia De with his mouth full of blood, and waved another bottle in his hand to Xia De:

"Would you like to try it? This is my unique invention. Although few people are willing to use it, it is absolutely useful. The college has accepted my patent application, and it has reached the final approval process. I plan to study a few more flavors."

Shad turned and ran, hoping that this "unique invention" would never be popularized.
