Chapter 604 605. Hunting War
The priests of the Temple of Liberty in the expeditionary force were able to enter the hinterland of darkness to fight because they carried with them sacred vessels contaminated with the divinity of the Goddess of Liberty.
These sacred vessels were originally sacred vessels placed in the Statue of Liberty temples in various places. However, when the great priests were praying, the Holy Light of the Lady of Liberty descended and occasionally used these sacred vessels as carriers. Therefore, these seemingly ordinary sacred vessels Contaminated with a hint of divinity, it will always exude the power of holy light.
By praying next to the holy vessel for a long time, the priest can not only maintain the power of his own holy light, but also slowly restore the power of the holy light.
The sacred vessel of the Temple of Liberty in Castletown is the Holy Grail of Wisdom, and it was with this Holy Grail of Wisdom that Archpriest Reed left Castletown and came to Golfito.
The priests who believe in the Temple of Liberty, although they master the power of the Holy Light, have gradually weakened their ability to absorb the power of the Holy Light from the outside world during their practice.
Their main promotion path is to pray devoutly to the Statue of Liberty and wait for the goddess to send down the Holy Glory. They will break through the bottleneck and be promoted at the moment when the Holy Glory fills their bodies.
But Roy is a heretic in the Temple of Liberty. In fact, he cannot be said to be a heretic, because when he became a trainee priest, the Statue of Liberty had disappeared. Roy did not feel the sacred glory of the Statue of Liberty at all. , so he does not believe in the Statue of Liberty.
From the day he became a trainee priest, Roy relied on his keen perception to absorb particles of holy light. Later, his perception and the sacred breath in his body formed a special force in his body, which was a particle of holy light. seed.
After becoming a trainee priest, every time Roy advanced to a level, the Holy Light Seed would grow a root.
After he broke through the bottleneck and became a priest, this seed finally broke out of the ground and turned into a tree of holy light.
From then on, he embarked on a completely different path from the other priests of the Temple of Liberty.
Roy had always thought that he was different from the priests of the Temple of Liberty, but as he entered the depths of the Dark Land, as the power of the Holy Light in his body became less and less, and his body became weaker and weaker, Roy finally knew Understand how important those sacred weapons are to the priests in the dark land.
…
Although the power of Holy Light in Roy's body is gradually weakening, along the way, he will still use Holy Light to purify the dark atmosphere contaminated by team members to prevent them from being eroded by the dark atmosphere.
In fact, it stands to reason that the second-level experts in the adventure group cannot be corroded by the energy of darkness.
Almost all the strong men who are infected by the dark aura are contaminated with the dark aura when they go out to hunt or fight...
So when Roy became weak, Alvin Great Swordsman deliberately reduced the number of members to go out hunting privately.
It's just that the purpose of some second-level powerhouses entering the Dark Land is to make a profit before the Dark Gate is banned. Of course, they are not willing to change their hunting plans easily.
Roy became very hard during this period, and sometimes he simply poured the holy water in the water bag directly over his head...
After killing the dark creatures, the monster materials and soul crystals were naturally put into the demon hunter's pocket.
Byron Thor even couldn't stand it anymore.
…
After passing through a wilderness full of gravel, if you walk further, you will turn into a desert formed by a large amount of black fine sand. If you step into the fine sand, the fine sand will swallow up your entire calf and you will want to pull it out. If you move forward, you will consume a lot of energy.
The road ahead becomes increasingly difficult.
Under the dark red sky, the adventure group had to rest three times a day instead of once a day.
In the temporary camp, everyone was sitting together, trying to take a good rest in the limited time before continuing on their way.
Byron Thor came to Alvin the Great Swordsman and whispered to him: "Alvin the Great Swordsman, Roy is not in very good condition at the moment. His power of Holy Light is continuing to decrease. I I am worried that he will exhaust the power of the Holy Light before arriving at the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp, so can he reduce the number of times he purifies the dark energy every day?"
Great Swordsman Alvin nodded and responded:
"I will make adjustments to try to avoid them being contaminated by the dark energy. Is there any good solution on Roy's side?"
"Actively looking for..."
Byron Thor replied.
At this time, a Silver Moon Elf strongman ran back to the camp quickly, tore off the magic cloak on his body, panted and ran to the side of the great swordsman Alvin, and said to the great swordsman Alvin very proudly:
"Alvin, we found another fear monster in front, and we have conducted a detailed investigation around it. There are no other high-level dark monsters around, so we are ready to hunt this fear monster."
The powerful Silver Moon Elf came to the side of the great swordsman Alvin, and a strong aura appeared around him...
Great Swordsman Alvin hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Roy. Seeing that Roy didn't show any resistance, he said:
"Then you should be careful and try not to be contaminated by the dark energy of the Horror. After hunting the Horror, you must come back as soon as possible. We will continue walking along this road and try to meet up at the next rest area. "
"I know, we will catch up as soon as possible." The Silver Moon Elf expert said confidently.
Just when the strong Silver Moon Elf turned around and was about to leave, Roy suddenly stood up and said to the strong Silver Moon Elf: "Please wait a moment, I also want to see the fear monster, okay? ?"
The powerful Silver Moon Elf was slightly startled. He was about to refuse, but saw that the person who made this request happened to be the only priest in the team.
"Roy, with your current physical condition, are you sure you can go out and hunt dark creatures?" The Silver Moon Elf strongman said euphemistically: "I don't mean anything else. I'm just worried that your physical strength won't keep up, which will make your life worse." My physical condition is getting worse..."
Although the Silver Moon Elf powerhouse did not refuse outright, he had an expression of rejection on his face.
Roy also smiled lightly and said:
"If divine magic is not used, there will be no problem. Moreover, I brought a lot of stamina potions this time. After all, I will stay at the Dark Portal Expeditionary Force camp for a long time, so I want to see the dark monster."
Although he didn’t know Roy’s intention, Byron Thor still made an assist from the side:
"Do you think Roy could join?"
The powerful Silver Moon Elf smiled coquettishly.
He knew very well that if he didn't want to lose the help of this priest in the long journey ahead, he would have to agree even if he had to bite the bullet.
"...Of course, welcome to join!"
As he spoke, he walked up to Roy and extended his right hand to Roy with a kind face.
Roy shook hands with the Silver Moon Elf powerhouse and responded with a smile.
Byron Thor looked at his friends beside him and said:
"Linglan Bronzebeard, you go with Roy and pay attention to protect Roy's safety."
Linglan Bronzebeard didn't even think about it, and directly agreed: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me!" So, in the four-person hunting team of the Silver Moon Elf powerhouse, two more members appeared: A young half-elf and a strong dwarf.
…
"let's go!"
The six members were wearing magic cloaks. After the Silver Moon Elf gave an order, they left the large army and walked silently through the black sand dunes.
Before setting off, Roy tied two cattail leaf-like flippers on the soles of his feet.
These were two pieces of very rough hard leather, which Roy used a skinning knife to cut into the shape of a shoe sole. However, these two hard leather flippers were at least ten times larger than the shoe soles.
In this way, Roy would not sink when he stepped on the soft sand.
He could easily stand on the sand and walk much easier.
The dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard saw that Roy's modified flippers were very interesting, so he asked Roy to prepare a pair for him. After all, he is a short-legged dwarf, and he also wears bulky heavy armor. When walking on the soft sand, , like rolling in the sand...
Roy quickly cut out another pair of flippers.
Seeing that Roy and the dwarf shield warriors who were lagging behind actually put on strange shoes and walked easily on the sand, the elf ranger at the front carrying a long bow couldn't help but complain:
"Humans just like to create something incomprehensible."
There was no emotion or anger on the face of the strong Silver Moon Elf, but at this time he scolded in a low voice: "Be careful what you say, he is a half-elf, and at least half of his body is of elven blood!"
The elf ranger in front said unconvinced: "What if the other half is a mixed-blood elf?"
Another Elf Sword Dancer took the opportunity to interject: "I heard that his mother is a master of Silver Moon Elf Sculpture, and he is also the only priest in the team, so it's best not to make such jokes in the future. ”
"Okay!" The Elf Ranger looked stern and agreed in a low voice.
Then the team fell into silence, and Roy and the dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard quickly caught up from behind.
The group of people climbed over a black sand dune with a not very steep slope, pointing to a dark area under the sand dune, the Silver Moon Elf strongman ordered:
"Everyone, be silent! The prey is just ahead..."
It seemed that he was still far away from his prey. The strong Silver Moon Elf stopped at this position just to let Roy watch from a distance...
Roy agreed readily, and then found a sand pit to lie down. From here, he could vaguely see the dark area below.
Linglan Bronzebeard naturally stayed with Roy.
The four hunting members walked forward quickly. They scared away along the hillside, almost sliding down the sand dune. As the four people rushed down, a large net was formed surrounding them.
However, the observation point is still a bit far from the ambush point.
Roy could only see their blurry figures, but could not see the fear monster in the dark area.
Lanling Bronzebeard couldn't help complaining: "I think they are obviously worried that we will divide their spoils, so they arranged us so far away. I really hope that the fear monster can escape from their encirclement." , so that these stingy guys can’t get anything..."
"Uncle Linglan Bronzebeard, if we were on the Elf Continent, what level of Warcraft would the fear monster be equivalent to?" Roy asked curiously.
"It's almost equivalent to a fourth-level monster, but they are much more powerful in the Dark Land than on the Elf Continent. If you see that kind of monster that can breathe black energy and has countless pairs of eyes all over its body, like a puddle of mud, then It’s just a fear of monsters, so you must stay away from them as soon as possible.”
Linglan Bronzebeard said to Roy very seriously.
"Well, I understand."
"Huh? What on earth is that Elf Ranger doing? Let me go... they really didn't surround the fear monster!" Linglan Bronzebeard's bell-like eyes widened and he couldn't help but look down.
Roy could only see very blurry battle scenes, and his current eyesight was far inferior to that of the dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard.
But at this time, he could still see some chaos below. The Elf Sword Dancer had released his power. On the dark battlefield, the shadow of an Elf female warrior appeared behind the Elf Sword Dancer. This Elf female warrior The warrior's phantom body continued to ripple, and then the phantom and the sword dancer merged into one, slashing a sword towards the fleeing fear monster.
This sword directly split the black fear monster in half...
However, after the fear monster was split in half, the body of the fear monster suddenly dispersed and turned into countless floating black mist. Then these black mist reunited in front of the sword dancer, forming a body that recovered as before. of fear monsters.
Its body surged and pounced on the Elf Sword Dancer.
The powerful Silver Moon Elf caught up from behind. He jumped up high, and the two swords in his hands erupted with a dazzling sword light. They were like two balls of light in his hands.
The body of the fear monster originally became extremely thin after it expanded. However, it was attacked from behind by the powerful Silver Moon Elf, and its body was immediately twisted into rags by the two sword lights...
Most of the dark aura turned into pieces of rags in the sword energy and fell at the feet of the strong Silver Moon Elf. However, there was also a wisp of dark aura that took the opportunity to rush out. It condensed together again, and the black mist had changed. It was extremely thin, but there were still faint patterns of two eyes on its back.
It was like a black gauze floating in the air, floating quickly towards Roy.
Linglan Bronzebeard also noticed the escape route of the fear monster immediately. He suddenly stood up from the sand pit, and the fine black sand continued to flow down the armor...
The dwarf uncle raised a thick tower shield. At the moment when the fear monster approached the two of them, the raised shield collided with the sledgehammer in the other hand.
'when……'
Under the loud noise, a silver arc of electricity suddenly appeared between the sledgehammer and the shield.
This electric arc made a crackling sound like exploding beans, and instantly penetrated a wisp of dark mist. The black mist was stimulated by the arc and emitted wisps of green smoke.
It's just that the dark monster is stronger than he thought. Just when Roy thought that Linglan Bronzebeard had defeated the remaining fear monster, he didn't expect that there was a sharp arrow in the layers of black energy, and it shot directly at Roy. Come.
Roy was completely dumbfounded at this moment. He didn't expect the fear monster to be so tenacious. The last remaining soul actually chose Roy and flew directly towards him.
And Roy also realized the great danger, and his hand reflexively opened the book of judgment on his waist.
A small silver hammer flew out from the page of the book and hit firmly on the sharp arrow made of black mist. The black sharp arrow was immediately knocked to the ground...
