Chapter 371 Legendary Blood
A dull roar sounded first, like a sign, and various howls sounded from all directions. The sounds were very mixed, and Brian even heard the lion's roar. Grow.
He held the staff, secretly adjusted his protection and attack spells, then stood calmly and calmly, welcoming the arrival of the followers of Mara, the God of Hunting.
"What a vivid legendary blood." A tall and majestic bear-man, like a hill, appeared from the forest with steps that could make the ground tremble slightly.
He glanced greedily at Brian, who was waiting for him, and said in a rough voice: "That stinky crow really didn't deceive us, and it really attracted us a legendary professional."

"With the legendary blood, I, the black-blooded people of Cormanso, will become the most powerful and devout believers of my lord Mara!" A dark, muscular figure flew out from the treetops.
Brian was surprised to find that what appeared not far from him was a very rare male lion-man, a branch of lycanthrope.
The pupils of this male lion-man, whose mane and hair are all pitch black, are bright amber, which means that the male lion has received at least one divine gift.
He was wearing a battle armor made of some unknown black metal, and he was holding a large curved blade with sharp serrations on the back. The flashing dark red cold light showed that he was at least a legendary quality. weapons.
Hearing the 'Legendary Blood' mentioned by the other party, Brian's stern face, which was hidden in the hood, suddenly showed a look of surprise.
The so-called 'legendary blood' refers to the blood of those whose strength reaches the legendary realm.
The followers of Mara, the god of hunting, have an extraordinary desire for the legendary blood.
Because Mara's priesthood includes the priesthood of 'bloodthirsty', as long as his believers can offer a legendary level sacrifice in a hunting ceremony, then the God of Hunting will be there. This bloody ritual gains power and bestows upon its followers rich rewards.
There are only two kinds of gifts from the evil god, one is power, but this is not a direct gift of permanent divinity, but a gift of divine power with a limited number of times. Even so, for mortals, this divine power is It is already the most powerful force.
The second is wealth.
After all, money is nothing to most gods, it is just a string of numbers, so most evil gods will be very generous with this kind of reward.
"Yes, my lord needs to dedicate more prey."
A man holding a compound bow has a rough face and exudes a very sturdy and wild aura. The human hunter said in a deep voice: "This is the oracle he conveyed to us. Only the blood of legend can satisfy our lord, so we must hunt down a legendary professional who is strong enough."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's do it quickly!" The male lion man shook his jet black mane, grasped the handle of the curved blade sword in his hand, and urged impatiently.
As soon as he finished speaking, the roars of wild beasts sounded again.
Based on the sounds alone, Brian deduced that the enemies he was facing included, in addition to the three legendary professionals in front of him, at least a dozen hunters with around the fourth level of strength.
From this, it can be inferred that in order to obtain the legendary blood, the black-blooded people of Cormanthor spent a lot of money and did not hesitate to go out.
If it were an ordinary legendary professional, I am afraid that the moment he saw such a scene, he would turn around and run away without hesitation.
After all, hunters are still very powerful in combat, probably because of their beliefs. In their daily lives, hunting is as simple as eating and drinking.
Therefore, the combat experience of the hunters who have survived to this day far exceeds that of other professionals of the same level.
In this world dominated by gods, the combat-related priesthoods such as hunting, killing, and fear, etc., and the believers who serve them are often very powerful in combat.
Following the order, the male lion man holding a curved blade took the lead.
He was very fast, like a phantom, flying close to Brian in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, while the muscles in his body were flowing back and forth, all the power he exploded was concentrated on the curved-edged sword with a dark red luster, and it struck Brian's body unstoppably.
Faced with this ferocious attack, Brian naturally did not dare to be careless.
Just when the male lion man was about to take action, he activated the "Illusion Technique" in advance, leaving only an illusion that looked like a real person and disappeared.
The curved-edged sword of the male lion-man came through the air and hit Brian's illusion mercilessly.
Seeing the disintegrating phantom, the anger in his golden amber pupils was suddenly replaced by shock.
“Back away!” As if aware of some danger, he quickly reminded the dozen hunters behind him.
It's a pity it's too late.
The illusion that Brian was about to collapse suddenly seemed like a volcano erupting, with terrifying waves of flames surging out.
"Boom!"
With the explosion that shook the world, Brian's phantom erupted into a mushroom cloud-like air wave with a diameter of at least 10 meters.
The raging flames mixed with the unstoppable air waves spread mercilessly in all directions.
The hunters who could not escape were all like fallen leaves that were arbitrarily ravaged by the strong wind in the autumn wind. They fell hard to the ground. At least half of the hunters died on the spot.
Even the male lion man whose strength reached the legendary realm was thrown away by this powerful force on the spot. Although he did not suffer any substantial damage, it made him feel extremely humiliated.
"Roar!"
In just one round of contact, more than half of his most elite subordinates were killed or wounded. The strongest and most burly bear hunter let out an angry roar unwillingly.
Without being able to capture Brian's figure, he directly grasped the hammer that was exactly the same as his own body with both hands, and used that unrivaled force to suddenly smash it towards the ground. .
“Boom!”
Accompanied by a violent tremor like an earthquake, the hard surface of the ground flew up like ripples on the surface of the water under the action of this terrifying force, turning into densely packed gravel and gravel, flying towards everything that could be seen around it. The space it touched sputtered.
“Not good!” Seeing this scene, Brian, who was hiding in the dark with the help of advanced stealth skills, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly built up a thick defensive barrier for himself.
Countless flying gravels were rushing towards him like dense raindrops, all of which were blocked one meter away from him.
However, this was not the effect that Brian wanted to see. Seeing that the gravel was blocked, his expression became more solemn.
Just as he expected, when the rubble concentrated on his defensive barrier, the human hunter who had never made a move from beginning to end instantly captured his hidden position.
Then, at lightning speed, he shot three extremely sharp demon-breaking arrows in succession. "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The whistling sharp arrows, under the powerful power of the compound bow, all accurately hit Brian's barrier.
Although the demon-breaking properties contained in the arrows did not shatter the barrier originally, Brian was secretly frightened to feel the flickering light from the barrier, as if it would collapse at any time.
——"Advanced dispelling magic!"
At this moment, among the half of the surviving hunters, the few Mara priests chanted magical spells at the same time, trying to remove all the protective measures around Brian.
Brian snorted coldly, and with a thought, the counterspell suddenly merged into the defensive barrier.
He directly relied on his powerful attributes and resistance to forcefully invalidate all the dispelling magic that fell on him. At the same time, he also caused the few priests to be affected by the backlash of divine magic. On the spot He spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood, showing a look of depression.
Brian took the opportunity to throw an oversized fireball, drowning them in the blazing flames.
Immediately afterwards, Brian, who mastered the laws of space, used an easy and freehand flash technique and disappeared in an instant. While avoiding the attacks of the male lion and bear man, he was as quiet as a ghost. appeared behind the human hunter.
The moment the human hunter discovered Brian, the frost blade formed by the nine-ring spell "Ice Sword Explosion" appeared in Brian's hand, exuding bone-chilling chills.
The expression of the human hunter changed drastically. He was about to activate the life-saving magic equipment and scrolls, but was stunned on the spot by Brian's "Overfrequency Explosion" that hit his soul directly.
“Pfft!”
The cold sword penetrated the body of the human hunter mercilessly. Centered on the wound, bone-chilling frost energy spread throughout the body at a speed visible to the naked eye. .
The aura around Brian suddenly shook, and the ice sculpture-like body of the human hunter was instantly ejected, hitting another group of surviving hunters.
"Boom!"
With the sound of a strong explosion, the frost blade inserted into the human hunter's body burst out with the additional damage of the nine-ring spell "Ice Sword Explosion", killing all the remaining hunters on the spot. submerged.
Even the male lions who were closer were affected by the aftermath, and their thick manes were covered with thin layers of frost.
“For Mara, the God of Hunting!” The male lion man shook off the frost on his mane angrily, his amber pupils glanced at the bulky bear man in the distance, and looked at Brian with a look of death. Roaring:
“Fuck me!”
As the male lion man roared out terrifying sound waves that could shatter trees and hard rocks, Brian, who was caught off guard, was instantly hit from the front and knocked back more than ten meters by the powerful energy. His ears were also struck by the rumbling sound. The sound waves shook out traces of blood.
Seeing that the terrifying sound waves emitted by his divine power only caused minimal damage to this legendary spellcaster, the lion-man's dim amber pupils suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.
Although the god of hunting Mala gave him only a trace of divine power, the moment he chose to release it, it was enough to crush any professional at the same level as him, and in front of the other party, it played a role The effect is minimal.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but want to retreat.
At this moment, the burly bearman swung the hammer in his hand clumsily, took advantage of Brian's moment of confusion, and hit him on the head on the spot.
At this critical moment, Brian came to his senses in time, activated the flash technique, and disappeared on the spot, narrowly avoiding the fate of turning into flesh.
Then he pointed his staff towards the bear.
With the blessing of various super-magical specialties, the eight meteorites released by the nine-ring spell "Meteor Explosion" were forcibly condensed into head-sized meteorites, and they all hit the bear man.
The bear man was about to dodge, but suddenly found that countless shadow tentacles were surging in his footsteps like wild snakes dancing, tightly wrapped around his corners, slowing down his dodge speed.
The moment he angrily broke free of all his tentacles, eight whistling meteorites accurately hit the bear man's majestic body like a hill, causing a violent explosion.
Seeing that he had gained experience tips, Brian used Flash again and disappeared into the male lion's futile attack.
The lion man looked at the fallen companions around him and the huge pit left by the bear man.
He glanced at Brian angrily and burst into an angry roar again.
Then, amid the surging energy, it turned into a majestic lion, turned around and ran towards the depths of the forest.
Obviously, knowing that he was no match for Brian, he directly chose to run away.
However, just when he was about to disappear from Brian's sight, he suddenly bumped into an invisible wall, forcibly blocking his way.
The lion man roared angrily at Brian, who was suspended in mid-air, but he could do nothing to him. He could only look at him with an extremely malicious look and prepared to continue running away.
——"Mordenkainen's Disintegration Technique!"
The moment the Lion Man stood up and changed direction to escape, a destructive energy ruthlessly enveloped him, destroying all external objects around him. All disintegrated without a trace, leaving only a bloody body that seemed to have been scraped by a sharp blade.
The desperate lion man was drowned in the fireball released by Brian before he could even cry out, and he entered the same fate as his companion the bear man.
Seeing that all his enemies had been annihilated by him, Brian, suspended in mid-air, let out a long breath and slowly landed on the ground.
Then, after resting for a while, he walked to a hunting cabin not far away and pushed it away.
Suddenly, the strong smell of blood hit his nostrils. Brian suppressed the nauseating smell inside and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
He was shocked to find that there were more than ten elven corpses stored here.
On the leather or armor of these elves, there is not only the emblem of the main elf god Corellon, but also the unicorn emblem of the forest and ranger goddess Mielikki.
It can be seen from this that the vast majority of these elven corpses come from the elven expeditionary force, and the Mara hunters hiding here obviously know that in order to completely conquer Mis Drannor, the elves will continue to explore deeper. Therefore, he has been lurking here and trying to hunt down legendary professionals to satisfy the special hobby of Mara, the God of Hunting.
After Brian set fire to the corpses inside and the entire hut, he continued to move deeper into Myth Drannor without looking back.
