Chapter 267: Sue the Bird to Death
The human leather umbrella in his hand expanded Su Lun's range of perception several times.
When he came out of the chessboard space, he immediately sensed several powerful soul fires nearby. Not surprisingly, they were the Lu Ying officers from the previous cottage.
Fortunately, Su Lun had already prepared. He used the old method of wrapping himself in a shroud and controlling a living corpse to act as bait.
Sure enough, as soon as they appeared, several figures flashed, and the living corpse was immediately cut into three pieces by two silver-armored warriors holding giant swords, one after another.
That 'Roxy Rubio' just now taught Suellen a vivid lesson.
Let him know that he needs to be more careful when meeting professionals with powerful backgrounds. I'm sure they have some evil forbidden items. The abilities of professionals in this world are all kinds of strange, and you must never be careless.
This was not Su Lun's guess. He deliberately stripped away the memory of the hunchbacked old man just now and knew the identities and methods of the people behind him.
These guys are all instructors of the "Luying Royal War College".
Although the extraordinary level is not too high, he has rich experience in actual combat and has a curse that enhances his combat power. It will be very troublesome to fight.
What's more, people in the military are good at combined attacks. They prepared tactics to deal with various professionals and cooperated with each other tacitly. Even if Su Lun goes out wearing a mechanical armor, he will never get any benefit.
Su Lun had no intention of confronting these people head-on. Taking this opportunity, he flashed directly into the dense forest.
Although the shroud can completely block the breath, the slight movement of the shroud cannot be hidden from those fourth-level professionals.
After gaining some distance, Su Lun decisively unfolded the eight-armed spider spear and started running wildly in the dense forest.
Naturally, the following people were in hot pursuit.
Even though these guys are wearing heavy armor, their speed is quite slow, and they also have some very advanced alchemy equipment.
The bearded man wearing golden griffin armor who chased him nearest was named Sandro Heimer, nicknamed "The Sword".
This guy fired several "swish" sword auras from across the air. He was so cunning and sharp that he chopped down the giant trees in the forest like wheat.
If it weren't for Su Lun's keen perception and ability to flash through space, he would have been cut into pieces long ago.
There is also the guy with golden wings flying in the air behind him, "Metal Angel" Rachel, whose main combat equipment is the golden version of "Thousand Killing Wings". The metal feathers can be launched like a powerful storm, leaving a mess wherever they pass.
Fortunately, in the primeval forest, the wings are not that easy to use. Flying low, there are trees and obstacles everywhere, and the speed is not necessarily faster than two legs. If you fly to a high place, your view will be blocked by the canopy of trees that blocks the sky and sun.
There is also the golden javelin accelerated by the wind element. In the blink of an eye, like a cannonball, the giant tree exploded.
Can spin axes.
None of the guys behind him is weak.
But the good news is, not all of them are good at chasing.
This explosive speed is also not sustainable.
Su Lun himself has spatial displacement and eight-armed spider spears, and can escape with desperate speed.
After a short burst of sprinting, he failed to catch up, and those behind him had no chance of catching up.
If the opponent really wanted to scatter and chase them, he wouldn't mind defeating them one by one.
The other party obviously knew this and never gave this a loophole. They knew very well that if they could kill the fourth-level hunchbacked old man Roxy, they were obviously capable of killing any of them.
In the end, Su Lun successfully got rid of several people after chasing him for a while in the forest.
At the same time, in another part of the forest.
The place is in a mess, with traces of fighting everywhere.
Large tracts of vegetation were burned to ashes, some wooden piles still had strange black fire that had not been extinguished, and the air was filled with a thick smell of burning.
The white wolf transformed by Yuta was also covered in burns, panting heavily, and staring solemnly into the depths of the forest.
They had just experienced a life-and-death battle. If they hadn't protected them, Aku and the other boys would have died here.
The running speed of Cerberus is no slower than that of their beast-like counterparts, and they are also good at tracking and can't even get rid of them.
Fortunately, suddenly, the five hellhounds were suddenly pulled back to the alien plane, and everyone got a breather.
Aku didn't dare to look at his sister, who was bandaging and treating two other companions who had been seriously injured just now.
Yuta could not hide the worry in her blue eyes. She looked at Aku and the others and said, "It's not safe here. You guys should go back to the Holy Land first."
"Oh."
When several young men heard this, they all lowered their heads and responded, with a hint of guilt on their expressions. No one was rescued, but several friends died. This time it was considered a big disaster.
They didn't expect that Mr. Su Lun would come to save them.
But the enemy is too strong, and they can't help but worry.
Aku asked: "Sister, will Mr. Su Lun be okay?"
Another black bear boy also asked: "Yes, Sister Yuta, that Mr. Su Lun."
Yuta interrupted them, "The hell creatures suddenly disappeared, which means that the contractor was killed."
Even so, there was a slight worry on her face.
After all, she knew that there were several equally difficult enemies in the village not far away.
Yuta didn't blame him too much and just said: "You will be the hope of our Daru people in the future. Remember to think twice before making a decision."
Although the cost this time was a bit serious, it was a good thing to learn a lesson.
Several people did not dare to look directly at each other, "I know, Sister Yuta."
After all, Yuta couldn't feel relieved and said no more, "You go back first, I'll go there!"
With that said, she rushed into the dense forest without hesitation.
After getting rid of the pursuers, Su Lun also slowed down.
The biggest danger in the forest has never been humans. Those monsters and strange creatures are the more deadly existence. They are everywhere.
He did not dare to continue moving at high speed in an unfamiliar environment, as that would only attract hunters in the jungle.
Su Lun held a black umbrella in his hand as a crutch and walked leisurely.
With the Black Umbrella's perception amplification, the soul fire within a one-kilometer radius is being sensed, and there is no fear of being suddenly attacked by something.
He didn't feel it carefully before, but now he realized the beauty of this black umbrella.
When you really get it, the information is more real than the information seen by the all-knowing eye.
"This [Rune Man Leather Umbrella] is really a good treasure."
Su Lun sighed inwardly and played with the black umbrella in his hand, becoming more and more unable to put it down.
Although he did not try to use the [Night Domain] of this umbrella, he also felt that the backlash of this umbrella's curse would not be a big problem for him. This remnant forbidden object will increase his strength significantly!
I thought that after trying it more, I could use it in actual combat immediately.
As he walked, Su Lun was pondering the efficacy of the black umbrella, and suddenly he felt a ball of soul fire approaching him quickly.
"Jutta?"
Su Lun was not surprised.
There is a wolf claw with Yuta's real name hanging around his neck, which allows her to confirm his location from a long distance.
Sure enough, after getting familiar with it, a huge white wolf came into view from the dense forest.
Seeing that Su Lun was safe and sound, Yuta's eyes clearly showed a look of relief, and she asked: "Mr. Su Lun, are you okay?"
"It's okay."
Su Lun looked at her burnt fur and asked, "Are you okay?"
"A little injury."
Yuta had a completely unconcerned expression on his face, and while speaking, he slowly transformed back into his human form.
She cares more about Su Lun than herself.
Wounds in the animal form will also appear on the body. Su Lun looked at the burn marks on her skin, took out the medicine, and helped her debridement.
Yuta was not embarrassed, so he was naked and looked at the man in front of him tenderly.
The cool breath of the medicine moistened the wound, and the burnt skin was washed away visibly, and new flesh grew out.
She saw the black umbrella in Su Lun's hand and frowned. The umbrella gave her a very bad feeling.
This is the breath of death that is completely different from the force of nature.
However, thinking that this was Su Lun's trophy, she frowned again.
Yuta guessed what he was talking about and said: "Thankfully you killed those Cerberus contractors, otherwise the situation would have been very bad."
Su Lun nodded, seeing hell creatures for the first time, and asked curiously: "How strong are those hell dogs?"
Yuta responded: "It's very strong. Unlike Warcraft, a large part of their bodies are made of fire elements and are not easy to kill."
"Oh."
Su Lun didn't stop moving her hands while listening to her describe the battle just now.
Although it is called [Cerberus], it does not necessarily come from the mythical hell.
There is a high probability that it comes from the "abyss plane", another plane with undead creatures.
The sources of psychic contracts in alchemy are spells created by powerful alchemists in ancient times who conquered alien planes to facilitate the enslaving of contracted alien creatures.
Nowadays, alchemists no longer have the ability to conquer other worlds, and they are becoming increasingly rare.
The hunchbacked old man who was killed before found a "Secret Scroll of Undead Creatures" passed down from the Dawn Era in a certain ruins, and successfully contracted with an alien creature like a Cerberus.
Su Lun thought of this, and also thought that the secret book seemed to be in the storage ring he had just harvested.
He felt that he could try to see if he could make a contract.
It would also be quite practical if we could get a few heads that were creatures like [Cerber Hounds] that were good at tracking.
Just as thoughts flashed through his mind, Suellen had already dealt with the last bite and burn on Yuta's back.
"Okay."
He put away the medicine bottle and patted Yuta's perky buttocks, which were very elastic.
Juta responded with a charming smile, "Thank you."
She took out her clothes and put them on, then looked at the darkening sky and said, "It's getting dark, we have to find a place to rest."
"Yeah."
Suellen nodded.
Jutta has been to the Gray Wolf Tribe and is very familiar with this forest.
Not long after, the two found a cave.
Because there were enemies in the forest, they didn't light a fire, so they ate some dry food.
After feeling tired for a while, Yuta fell asleep peacefully on the ground paved with animal skins. The traveling and fighting during the day consumed a lot of her energy.
Su Lun was on the side, cleaning up today's harvest.
A set of incomplete [Silver Armor], as well as some standard officer equipment of the Luying Royal Legion, were the trophies of the trainee officer killed by the ship-cutting knife before.
There are also a lot of spare equipment in the storage ring, including alchemy bullets, potions, magic cores, and energy crystal cores.
I have to say, these guys are really rich. The equipment of this third-level lieutenant officer is more valuable than those of fourth-level or even fifth-level pirates.
After doing a rough inventory, Su Lun rummaged through the storage ring of the hunchbacked old man Qi.
The storage ring can hold not many things, but they are all valuable items.
There are three thick classics "Dark Spells", "Necromantic Mystery", "Fourth Level Sealing Spell". There are also several dark spell scrolls. Although they are replicas, none of them are exquisite. Probably Lu Ying's official welfare.
And the last ancient scroll, which is as thin as a map, is the "Secret Scroll of Necromantic Creatures".
Regardless of the material or wear and tear, it indicates that this is an ancient relic.
Su Lun looked through it.
He had previously peeled off the memory fragments of [Psychic Technique] and looked through them very quickly.
In just a quarter of an hour, he had read all the contents of the secret book, and his brain quickly digested it into the knowledge he had mastered.
"You can only contract with undead creatures from other worlds that do not exceed the level of your own body, otherwise it will be easy for the undead creatures to backfire?"
Su Lun thought about it.
No wonder the hunchbacked old man summoned a third-level hellhound during the day.
"In other words, to be on the safe side, I can only summon undead creatures of about the second level? And it's also random?"
Su Lun pursed his lips.
It doesn't seem to be of much use.
Although I think it's a bit tasteless, I still plan to give it a try.
To perform spiritualism, you not only need the secret contract scroll (coordinates), but you also need to be proficient in the law of death or the law of darkness, and understand a little about the law of space.
Just in time now.
Su Lun thought it was not difficult, so he started to arrange the psychic formation according to the contents of the secret scroll.
The first time is more troublesome and requires enough sacrifices.
Su Lun spent more than 100,000 yuan in materials to lay out a five-pointed star formation, and then placed a piece of carrion that the guy had eaten during the day in the center of the formation.
A pinch of the warlock's seal triggered the magic circle, and the black light lit up.
The first psychic contract is like fishing. The undead creatures in that specific plane value these "sacrifice" and those who are willing to take the bait will naturally appear in the formation.
Also because of the constraints of the formation, they will obey some orders of the contractor.
Probably like hiring.
Su Lun didn't expect to channel any powerful creatures.
He is not unfamiliar with creatures from other planes. When he was in Old Lingdun before, he saw a lot of creatures from the abyss.
Thinking that even if some undead creature appeared, it wouldn't be surprising.
However, he never expected that after the black pentagram formation lit up and the planes connected to the void, he suddenly felt a strong aura of death coming.
It's not that the aura is powerful, but there is something like the pressure of blood.
Su Lun felt something was wrong and frowned: "Is there going to be any trouble?"
This movement was bigger than the third-level Cerberus that the old man channeled during the day.
However, he clearly did not arrange the second-level psychic formation?
Su Lun was very sure that the psychic formation just arranged was done according to the secret scroll, and there was absolutely no mistake.
Moreover, this technique also strips away the soul experience, so there is absolutely no possibility of encrypted misunderstanding.
The spell has already begun to operate. If it is forcibly terminated, it will have a considerable impact on Su Lun, the caster. He looked at the phantom that lit up in the formation and didn't look like a terrifying demon, so he watched patiently.
Originally, Su Lun was mentally prepared to see a second-order lord-level undead monster,
I didn’t think so,
The light of the formation dispersed,
The light and shadow slowly condensed into an ordinary-looking crow?
"That's it?"
Su Lun watched the formation's light dissipate, one person and one bird, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
However, unlike ordinary crows, this one has a black halo on its head.
When encountering an unknown creature, Su Lun would naturally throw it away with his omniscient eye.
Then, his expression immediately became strange.
【Sad Bird】
Detailed explanation: The second-level baby bird is a mythical species; also known as the 'Bennu bird', the messenger of death in myths and legends, the guide of the underworld, a strange bird that can predict death; this bird feeds on the dead air of carrion, and the dead air is endless. , the bird is immortal; the bird contains some information beyond cognition;
Su Lun saw the identification information of the bird and realized that he seemed to have summoned a very "special" existence.
But it looks like this bird is harmless to humans and animals?
Su Lun turned his eyes and looked at the words "contains information beyond cognition" at the end, and immediately knew that the origin of this bird was not simple.
He immediately thought of something: "Is it because my understanding of the law of death is relatively high?"
At this time, probably because of the movement of the necromancy, Yuta on the side also opened his eyelids.
She looked at the bird summoned by Su Lun, then looked at the traces of the psychic array on the ground, and asked in a strange tone: "Mr. Su Lun, did you channel this?"
"Yeah."
Suellen nodded.
He was also curious about what the bird was used for.
The Daru people inherit many myths that human civilization does not know. He felt that Yuta might know some, so he asked: "This is the 'death bird'. Yuta, do you know what its use is?"
When Yuta heard this, he was really surprised, "The bird of death? The legendary guide of the underworld?"
She looked at the crow again, blinked, and immediately became energetic.
Su Lun became even more curious: "Do you know?"
Jutta nodded, but then asked doubtfully: "It is said that the 'death birds' are transformed from the souls of gods. They are often accompanied by the god of death, are proficient in the law of death, and are immortal, symbolizing ominousness and death. But according to legend, that kind of bird It shouldn’t look like this.”
"This is a baby bird. It should be different when it grows up."
Su Lun thought about it and said.
If it weren't for the omniscient pupil, he wouldn't have thought that the crow with the halo above his head was some kind of mythical species.
But what Yuta said was no different from the identified information. He asked again: "What is the specific use of this bird?"
As soon as these words came out, before Yuta could respond, the stupid bird let out a "Gah~", which seemed to express dissatisfaction with his contemptuous tone.
Juta said quietly: "That is the legendary bird of death. No one has ever seen it alive. It is said that those who have seen it will be guided to the underworld by it."
"."
Su Lun's face twitched when he heard this. Did he mean to send someone away?
This bird is so ominous.
If he didn't have some kind of telepathy with the contracted creature and knew that it was harmless to him, he would have immediately turned his back upon hearing Yuta's words and sent it back to the psychic.
Juta also felt that what he said seemed unlucky, so he changed his words: "It's also a legend, after all, no one has seen it."
Su Lun felt bad for a moment: "In other words, this bird is still useless?"
I thought about trying to channel an undead creature.
It turned out that it was a "mythical species" with a great reputation, but it didn't look as useful as the hellhound?
As soon as these words came out, the crow made another "quack" sound, becoming even more dissatisfied.
Su Lun's eyes twitched, as if this bird was quite intelligent.
As he was talking, the body of the crow in front of him suddenly disintegrated into a ball of black mist.
Su Lungang was confused, and when he looked again, he saw this guy suddenly standing on his shoulder.
"Eh"
He let out a light sigh and immediately sensed something, and was greatly surprised: "This bird still understands the law of death?"
Su Lun was even more surprised that this bird had a higher level of understanding of the Law of Death than he did?
It's like being next to a fire, where you can clearly feel that the temperature of the flame is higher than your own body temperature!
This seems to have no offensive effect, but for Su Lun, it is of great use.
It can help you improve your understanding of the law of death!
After dying last time, Su Lun took a shortcut and understood part of the law of death.
There will be no next time that way.
Su Lun doesn't want to have a next time either.
Now that this bird is around, I can clearly feel a slight improvement in understanding
"I found a treasure!"
Su Lun felt happy, and his expression immediately changed.
As if sensing something, the crow on the shoulder made another "quacking" sound, which was probably a proud response.
At this moment, Su Lun looked at the black bird again, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it was to his eyes.
Hmm. It smells so good! (End of chapter)
