Chapter 187 Talent·Star Spirit·Qinglong
[Open.Talent! 】
Huo Jixing's consciousness had just fallen and he was not mentally prepared yet.
The next moment!
The dark green data flow that should have been silent once again filled his eyes.
The extremely bright mottled brilliance was like fireworks overflowing, covering up the red-golden light.
Faintly, Huo Jixing saw all kinds of shining stars, as luxurious as pearls, filling the sky.
Until the end of the stars, a flash of green light, like the brilliance of the sky, firmly occupies the eastern world.
[Congratulations to the host, you have activated your talent. Star Spirit Azure Dragon! 】
The cold system prompt sounded in his ears, and Huo Jixing came back to his senses, with a look of surprise on his face.
Compared to when [Star Spirit Suzaku] was turned on, he had to adapt a lot.
Huojixing is no longer a Noxian scout who first came to Valoran.
Now he has [Star Spirit·Suzaku Stance], which allows him to feel his own changes personally.
However, the opening of new talents is more mysterious than Huo Jixing thought.
With his spirit fully developed, he realized that he had set foot on a new star map before he could sense anything.
It’s called, Qinglong Star Chart!
Huo Jixing stands alone in the endless starry sky.
Looking at the stars streaking across the dark sky, the light changes in countless ways.
The ancient and mysterious Qinglong Qisu hangs across the world, like dragon scales, standing in rows, exuding a vast and boundless atmosphere.
In the brilliance of all the stars, he seemed to see the green dragons of the four spirits of the sky reflected in the endless starry sky.
The green dragon has a body like a long snake, a unicorn head, a carp tail, a long beard on its face, and deer-like antlers with five claws.
It looks majestic, extremely luxurious, and looks like the most noble beast in the world.
The glazed lines on its body shine even more brightly like gems under the reflection of the stars.
Suddenly!
The green dragon raised its head and roared, its two horns fought against the stars, and the world in all directions was shaken.
It dances among the stars, soaring freely, like a god descending to earth.
Behind it, Qinglong Qisu echoed with each other, and countless, dream-like rays of light trailed in, as if they were controlling wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and controlling the changes in the world.
“Spica!”
When Huo Jixing was in shock, strange fluctuations spread to his consciousness.
He saw a blue-green star suddenly light up in the Qinglong Qisu, which was uncertain in brightness and death. It was located in the first constellation. It was as bright as the horn of a blue dragon, soaring into the sky.
The dragon horn is the first charge in the fight, representing the ferocious nature of the green dragon.
Therefore, Spica, the leader of the army, kills and prolongs life.
“It’s easy to understand how soldiers kill, Yansheng?”
Huo Jixing’s expression changed, and he lowered his eyes, seeing his body standing in the starry sky.
There were bursts of cyan light, and pieces like palm-sized dragon scales grew out of the body and covered the whole body.
"The energy of Donghua Yimu!"
Huo Jixing's heart moved, and when he looked at Qinglong in the distance, his golden eyes happened to be lowered.
In a daze, he found that he had returned to the hotel room.
[Talent·Star Spirit·Blue Dragon]!
Huo Jixing calmed down his inner emotions, called up the data panel, and saw the new star spirit Qinglong added to his talent.
At the same time, he felt a touch of cyan brilliance emerging from his body out of thin air.
Compared to the scorching heat of Nanli Fire.
The temperature of Donghua Yimu is much milder, and it circulates in the body all the time, attaching a layer of cyan light to every internal organ, neutralizing the scorching red-gold flames.
Extension of life?
Huo Jixing had an idea and vaguely felt that his life span had been extended.
Maybe it's more than that.
Huo Jixing's expression changed as he thought of the green dragon that had just circled the east, looking up and roaring.
He stretched out his slender palm, played with the red fire blade, and cut his fingers.
Like cutting leather, the sharp blade sliced the fingertips, revealing the rolled flesh.
However, before the blood flowed out, red gold and cyan brilliance flowed alternately.
But in the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood healed, the skin regenerated, and everything was restored as before, without any scars.
“This!” Huo Jixing was horrified in his heart.
Nanli's fire already has a certain healing effect, but now coupled with Donghua Yimu's energy, the effect is really scary.
The realm of immortality?
Huo Jixing suddenly thought of the legend about Suzaku and Qinglong in his previous life.
Then he thought that once his body could perfectly adapt to [Star Spirit·Suzaku Stance], then add the energy of Donghua Yimu provided by [Star Spirit·Qinglong].
Perhaps it is really possible to achieve the state of immortality.
Phew!
Huo Jixing took a deep breath, suppressed the active thoughts in his heart, closed his eyes and silently felt the potential changes in his body.
Donghua Yimu's Qi is slowly changing his body, stimulating his organs and increasing his physical strength.
He expected that it would take some time for his transformation to be complete.
But Huo Jixing was very surprised by the amazing effect now.
Having the energy of Donghua Yimu, he can use the fire of Nanli unscrupulously.
Even if it exceeds the threshold, it will not burn its own flesh and blood.
Instead, priority is given to consuming Donghua Yimu’s energy.
Huo Jixing opened his eyes, the cyan light flashed fleetingly, and a little gold adorned the black pupils.
"Huh?"
Huo Jixing heard the noise coming from downstairs, he was confused and mentally stretched over.
In an instant, he noticed that a dark hole emerged wherever his spirit reached, swallowing up the surrounding elemental energy and suppressing all magic runes.
“Forbidden Demon Stone? The Demon Searchers are here.”
In front of the hotel.
The demon-hunting investigator wearing a fur coat and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia knocked on the door.
"Please forgive me for interrupting, but we need your cooperation and assistance."
Looking at Dawn, who opened the door with a gentle temperament, the Demon Search Investigator showed his order card, signaling the Demacia Kingdom soldiers behind him to enter the hotel.
"We have received some notifications about 'strange events'"
The Demon Searching Investigator touched the Forbidden Demon Stone Plate on his chest and looked at the environment of the hotel.
"Besides you, is there anyone else living in the hotel?"
"Sir, you are joking, there must be someone living in the hotel." Dawn looked respectful, and there was a hint of darkness in his dark eyes. nervous.
Although Dawn calls the demon searchers hyenas.
But there is no doubt that the demon seeker's sense of smell is indeed very sensitive, and his perception of rune magic is extremely keen.
"Have the identities of all the residents been verified?" the Momo Search Investigator realized his slip of the tongue and asked patiently.
He looked at every guest invited out by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia, but quietly clenched the heavy wooden cane in his hand.
"Sir, this is Mithril City, the most prosperous city in the North." Dawn shook his head slightly, his tone helpless.
“There are so many people who come here to live temporarily every month that we can’t check them at all.”
“Perhaps you can ask the Centurion.”
Dawn's eyes fell on the Demacian centurion beside the demon-hunting investigator. This guy collected the protection fee he paid every month.
"Ahem, Dawn, answer the investigator's questions honestly." The Demacia centurion looked slightly embarrassed and pointed to the demon-hunting investigator in front of him.
"Haha, no need."
The Demon Searching Investigator's eyes flickered and he chuckled, understanding the underlying rules.
Then his sharp eyes fell on the guests invited out one by one. When he saw that his magic-forbidden stone plate showed no response, he was filled with doubts.
Not long ago, when he was searching the street in front, the magic-forbidden stone plate he was wearing had made slight movements, pointing to this area. He immediately led people to seal off the area and began to screen everyone.
“Isn’t it here?”
The demon-hunting investigator looked past Huo Jixing and others, and signaled the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia to inspect the room again. search.
After waiting for a while, I saw the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia returning empty-handed.
The demon-searching investigator's eyes were dark, and he sighed softly. His fingers brushed the magic-forbidden stone plate he was wearing, and a bold smile appeared on his rough face.
"I'm sorry for disturbing your business, and everyone, for bringing you trouble. I wish you a happy trip to Mithril City."
The Demon Search Investigator had a gentle attitude and said En, Huo Jixing and others bowed slightly.
Then he took the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia and quickly left the hotel and went to other buildings.
“Are you so sensitive?”
Huo Jixing hid among the many residents and watched the demon search investigator and others leave quickly.
As soon as he opened a new talent, the demon-hunting investigator noticed a slight movement and sent soldiers from the Kingdom of Demacia to seal off the area.
Now it seems that the detection methods of the Demon Seeker Legion cannot be underestimated.
Fortunately, what I possess is the power of the Star Spirit. As long as it is hidden well, the Forbidden Demon Stone Disk cannot detect it.
As for the runes worn by Huo Jixing, they were already hidden in a secret compartment in the room when the demon-searching investigator came.
After looking at Dawn.
Huo Jixing pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, walked upstairs and returned to his room.
To the north of Misilver City, there are thousands of miles of ice and snow mountains.
The warm summer sun reaches its highest point, just lighting up the secret sentry deep in the canyon, almost integrated with the mountains.
“Phew, it’s finally noon.”
In the sentry built of pale marble, Demacia's vanguard sentry leaned against the wall and looked at the blazing sun hanging in the sky, his expression relaxed.
The temperature deep in the canyon is really too low.
“Enjoy this moment.”
In the sentry room behind, a vanguard sentry wearing shining plate armor and a silver helmet walked out, carrying a shield and hanging it on his waist. Long sword.
He looked at the towering stone walls on both sides of the canyon, like two ruthless barriers, blocking all the light from the outside world.
Only at noon every day.
Only when the sun reaches its highest point can it bring them the slightest warmth of sunlight.
"Is it foggy?"
The vanguard sentry holding the sword at his waist looked at the diffuse fog, and his heart suddenly tightened.
The mist in front of me was pale and thick, as if pouring out from deep underground, slowly covering every inch of the land in the canyon.
Even if there is warm sunshine falling, it still brings a cold breath, making people feel a little bit of inexplicable fear and uneasiness.
"Alert!" the vanguard sentry immediately shouted and drew the sword from his waist.
In a blink of an eye.
The quiet sentry quickly began to boil. The five vanguard sentries stationed were fully armed and appeared in their respective positions.
"What's wrong?" a vanguard sentry asked.
"It's too quiet!" the sword-wielding vanguard sentry replied solemnly.
Although the canyon is quiet, it does not mean that she is safe.
On the contrary, in this silence, there are unknown dangers and unknown enemies hidden.
For example, across the mountains, the ruthless raiders from the Freljord brought misery to the Kingdom of Demacia.
The atmosphere deep in the canyon, as the pale mist fills the air, becomes increasingly silent.
Suddenly!
The subtle sound of shackles sounded.
In the pale mist, the sword blades and armor made of Demacia steel shimmered with a cold texture.
These well-made equipment are extremely eye-catching in the fog, as if they are the patron saint of the vanguard sentries.
The vanguard sentries, wearing shining plate armor and holding sharp swords, stared in the direction of the source of the sound, preparing to attack.
Their eyes are firm and cold, and they are ready to face any challenge.
Clang!
The impact of heavy shackles sounded like the sound of a trumpet in front of the sentry post.
The vanguard sentries launched an attack instantly, like streaks of silver lightning, crossing the fog and launching a ferocious attack toward the source of the sound in front of them.
Buzz! Buzz!
The sharp blade drew sharp arcs in the air, cutting through the pale mist.
The vanguard sentries saw a shirtless man with heavy shackles wrapped around his hands, walking towards him, with cold murderous intent in his blue eyes.
Clang!
The blade struck the heavy shackles, making a dull low sound.
Before the vanguard sentries could react, terrifying power struck along the blade.
In addition to this, there was also a surging blue light, wrapped in pale mist, which instantly submerged their figures.
Click! Click! Click! Click! Click!
Under the dim blue light, the Angzang man gently waved the heavy shackles wrapped around his wrists.
Every swing will be accompanied by the sound of the blade breaking or the armor denting.
After five consecutive swings, the cold and hard ground was covered with the corpses of the vanguard sentries.
"Demacian steel?" The man in hiding squatted half-crouched, picked up the broken weapon, and looked at it.
Demacian steel, sometimes called silversteel or runesteel.
The metal alloy produced in the Kingdom of Demacia has long been famous in Runeterra.
It is rumored that Demacia's armorers use holy water to quench metal alloys to provide magic resistance on the battlefield.
This is also the reason why the vanguard sentries were able to resist the erosion of the blue light just now.
"Being able to provide Demacian steel to the vanguard sentries, it seems that the kingdom has become more prosperous during this period." Silas stood up, his blue eyes falling to the south.
"Evel, clean up the battlefield."
Hearing Silas's voice, a young scout came out of the pale mist, but the weather in his pale eyes was very different from his age. conform to.
"Okay." Ewell came over and whispered the spell.
Under his spell, the pale and thick mist dimmed, and behind it appeared many outlaws, all of them followers of Silas.
"Don't cancel the fog." Silas spoke softly, his blue eyes falling towards the sky.
"Be careful of the Demacia Dragon Bird Knight."
Evel nodded, keeping the mist filled, covering the sentry deep in the canyon.
"Let the ruthless raiders of the Freljord follow." Silas looked at the dozen or so most trusted mages behind him and ordered.
“We have to race against time and attack the prison before Mithril City discovers it.”
"I will notify them immediately." A mage left quickly, and the wind blew under his feet, causing him to float in the air.
Silas looked at the sentry and vanguard sentry that had been dealt with, and stepped out of the canyon.
The reason why he knew the location of the vanguard sentries so clearly was because someone secretly provided him with a military distribution map of the northern part of the Kingdom of Demacia.
Otherwise, he would not be so eager to rush to Mithril City.
Time waits for no one, Silas must complete the plan before the Kingdom of Demacia discovers him.
"The Kingdom of Demacia is no longer united as before." Silas walked out of the canyon step by step and looked at the misty mountains.
“Fifteen years of darkness have taught me a lot.”
Ta da! Ta-ta!
The sound of rapid steps was heard, and an old mage in ragged clothes walked quickly with a hurried look on his face, holding a letter in his hand.
“There is news that people from the Noxus Empire want to meet you.”
