Chapter 412 Deduction
Gilan actually discovered very early on that although devils exist in the Land of God, they are not considered to be residents of the Land of God.
After killing them, the "mottled energy" will not increase.
Although the specific reason is not clear, this is good news for Gilan.
Because of this, you can hunt devils unscrupulously without worrying about affecting your future promotion.
"Master, it's right in front."
At this time, Weiwei, who was leading the way in mid-air, turned back and pointed to a small hill in front of her.
Jilan nodded, used the staff of laughter as a crutch, and stepped onto the loose soil hillside.
Over the hill, he immediately saw a spacious basin below.
There are dozens or hundreds of red-skinned devils of different shapes and ferocious appearances. They are attacking each other and fighting in a melee.
Powerful roars, arrogant laughter, and the muffled sounds of sharp claws tearing through the body and heavy punches smashing bones were intertwined.
Dark red hot blood spattered, falling on the red earth and igniting flames, emitting pungent sulfur smoke.
Gilan noticed that there was a leader on the dominant side. He is about two and a half meters tall and has a burly build. His shoulders, chest, elbows and knees are covered with a hard white exoskeleton, like armor.
Moreover, this devil has a pair of scimitar-like horns on its head, and the broad black bat wings behind it are closed and hanging down like a cloak.
It was obviously the viscount-level noble lord that Weiwei sensed. The aura he exuded was completely different from the devil around him.
Ji Lan observed silently for a few seconds, feeling confident.
‘The strength of this devil lord is stronger than that of Weiwei. It is about the range of "Second Ring Viscount" to "Third Ring Viscount", which is equivalent to the level of an average fourth-level Jiujiu. ’
But this was completely insufficient in front of him.
"Weiwei, don't let those miscellaneous fish escape."
Jilan ordered lightly.
The little demon was startled for a moment, then quickly agreed.
With his hat in one hand and his cane in the other, Ji Lan jumped up and fell quickly from the top of the hill.
Weiwei flapped her bat wings vigorously and followed closely behind.
The Devil Lord, who was watching the battle with his elbows folded below, suddenly frowned, seeming to notice something, and turned around to take a look.
I saw a human in black clothes jumping down from the hill with a female devil, rushing straight towards me.
"Soldiers! There is a human invasion!"
The devil lord looked grim, raised his hand, and shouted in a deep voice.
“Kill him!”
As soon as the order was given, the seven or eight strong devils standing next to him immediately took action and rushed forward without fear of death.
Jilan's face was expressionless, and with a shake of his hand, the gray cane deformed instantly, turning into the form of a flower basket cross sword with a clicking sound.
The pattern on the sword's body lit up with green light, emitting extreme heat and flames.
"Silver plate." He said indifferently.
咻——
Jilan slashed at the crowd of demons with his sword, and unleashed the killer move "Universal Sword·Galaxy".
"Silver Plate" is a high-level sword skill evolved from the original "Trail of the Meteor" in the Star Chapter. Its lethality and range are even greater. The sword disappeared briefly and turned into an arc-shaped sword light made of starlight, passing over the bodies of the devils.
Tsk tsk tsk! !
This group of demons still maintained their ferocious appearance with fists and claws raised, but in the next second, with the sudden appearance of silver light, they all exploded into a ball of blood mist and turned into pieces on the ground.
Their corpses began to spontaneously combust.
Without stopping, Jilan walked through the clumps of flames and passed through the blurred afterimages before arriving in front of the devil lord.
The latter's expression suddenly changed.
Astonishingly, this human's strength far exceeded its expectations.
At this moment, it knew that it had no chance to retreat and had to face the enemy personally.
“Die!” The devil lord shouted violently, raised his hand and punched Gilan in the head.
The moment he swung his fist, it was covered with dense, thick black scales, and also attached with a layer of orange-red flames.
This is obviously an advanced application of the "Snake Scale Curse" and the "Fire Curse", combining the two into one.
The fist wind was blazing and roaring.
Gilan did not dodge or even blink. He raised his hand and flicked the cross sword into a sword flower.
"Silver Crown." He whispered in ancient Xilu language.
Oops! !
The sword disappeared again.
Silver light spots burst out and spread into a spiral, actually wrapping and wrapping the Devil Lord's fist.
A twist immediately!
Just listen to the sound.
“Ah!” The devil lord cried out in pain, covering his broken arm that was splattered with blood, and took a few steps back.
The physique and spells it was proud of had no effect at all under this human sword and were easily countered.
Jilan's cold eyes came into his mind, and the next second, the tips of his golden-red hair swept past the side of his cheek.
"Silver halo." An indifferent voice came.
Miscellaneous! !
The silver sword light flashed at high frequency, like thunder.
Countless light points surrounded the devil lord, and then stretched into a straight line, seeming to shrink instantly at its center.
In an instant, the dazzling silver light continued.
"Ahhhhhh!!" The devil lord let out a shrill scream.
Like a hedgehog, it was stabbed by countless silver sword lights and instantly fell to its knees, unable to move.
This move "Silver Halo" is an advancement of "Star·Suppressing Star Track" and is used to control the enemy.
After being hit by this sword skill, the devil lord has lost his combat effectiveness and has become a fish in the case, allowing Ji Lan to slaughter him.
The demons who were originally fighting around him all stopped when they saw this. The demons under the lord howled like crazy, trying to rush over to rescue him, while the other demons who had been attacked fled in all directions.
"The master said, you can't leave!"
At this time, Weiwei flew into the air, raised her hands, and cast the "Confusion Curse" and "Hate Curse".
The demons turned around uncontrollably and fought together again.
Gilan ignored the chaos around him. He knelt down next to the seriously injured Devil Lord and pressed one hand to the ground.
"Solution!" he whispered.
Crack!
The silver arc jumped out from its palm and spread around. Soon, a silver alchemy array composed of circles, triangles and various line symbols appeared under the devil lord.
"No, no..." The devil lord suddenly realized something, and while vomiting blood, he begged for mercy in ancient Xilu language: "Master Wizard, please spare me, I am willing to tell you my real name, like that I will serve you like a female noble!"
Jilan raised her eyes, looked at the devil lord, then grinned and said:
"Weiwei is enough."
The devil lord's expression froze.
Next second.
Bang!
Its body suddenly stiffened in a kneeling position, and then exploded into countless sparkling dust with a crisp sound.
The dust was flying all over the sky, creating a bright and gorgeous halo under the dim sky.
Jilan’s eyes narrowed.
With a snap, he put his hands together.
"Refining!" He said again.
Wow——
The powder flying all over the sky gathered into a stream and flowed into Jilan's palm.
Soon, a colorful glass ball the size of a finger was condensed.
This is a piece of soul material that Jilan used the "Secret Pattern of the Sage" to perform alchemy to refine the devil lord.
It retains the power of his soul during his lifetime, which is enough to serve as the main material for refining the "Philosopher's Stone". 'But it's not enough...'
Jilan pocketed the glass ball and said secretly.
Due to lack of energy, the alchemy he just performed used the points in the "Beautiful" reserve and consumed a full 200 points of energy.
This made him quite distressed.
Currently, there is an urgent shortage of points in all aspects. If it were not for the huge role of the "Philosopher's Stone", Jilan would be reluctant to spend points to perform alchemy.
‘But...fortunately, there are still a lot of prey here, which must be able to provide me with considerable points, right? ’
Jilan turned to look at the chaotic battle situation and smiled.
Weiwei is constantly looking for opportunities to take action in the battlefield, hunting down those demons who have lost their minds after being cursed.
Jilan swung the flower basket cross sword, tilted it to his side, and walked over.
…
…
With almost no effort, Jilan slaughtered all the dozens of devils.
The "sand of evil" left behind by the devil's spontaneous combustion after his death was collected by Weiwei on his behalf and piled up into a thick pile.
Gilan separated one third of it and stored it in bottles for subsequent feeding to Weiwei so that it could have a stable food intake, which could effectively improve its rank and strength.
The finger-sized medicine bottle is filled with more than twenty bottles, enough for it to feed for a while.
Seeing this, Weiwei was very excited.
It flapped its little bat wings, flew to Jilan's shoulder and kept circling, and cheered playfully:
"Master is so kind to Weiwei! Thank you, master!"
Said, and also I can't help but give you a sweet kiss.
Until Jilan grabbed his thin waist with two fingers and threw him aside.
“Don’t worry, the hunting has just begun, we will still be hunting in this area for a while.”
Gilan said without raising his head, continuing to handle the remaining "sand of evil" in his hands.
Of course it is not enough to hunt just one Devil Lord, otherwise the "Philosopher's Stone" would not be so rare.
He raised his hands and covered the pile of "evil sand" in front of him, and then used alchemy to decompose them all.
With the sizzling sound of silver arc.
This pile of fine black sand suddenly turned into worthless dust and scattered in all directions.
The color number in the corner of Jilan's eyes also jumped several times, soaring to "1412".
He nodded with satisfaction.
After standing up, he ordered his little familiar:
"Weiwei, continue to sense the devil's breath and look for the next prey."
"Yes! Master! !" Weiwei tasted the sweetness and was full of energy, so she quickly agreed.
It first flew into the air, closed its eyes and raised its head, feeling the breath, then pointed in a direction and led the way.
Gilan followed silently, heading deeper into the gray wasteland.
…
…
Time passed by so quietly.
In the outside reality, three full days have passed.
In the dream, Gilan stayed for four days. In the process, he figured out a pattern.
It seems that the flow of time in the world and in dreams is not consistent.
He recalled the five hours 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 missing on the giant clock in the central tower of Miss Torina's Castle Black.
In other words, a day in a dream only has 19 hours.
Gillan thought of another thing.
In this world, darkness always seems to come very quickly. At three o'clock in the afternoon, it is almost dark.
This phenomenon has troubled him for a long time. Now that I think about it, most of it has something to do with timing in dreams.
Because after 15 o'clock, it will jump directly to 21 o'clock.
Reflected in reality, doesn’t it mean that it gets dark at three o’clock in the afternoon...
‘Where did the missing five hours go? ’
With such a question in mind, Jilan went through the occult knowledge he had in his mind.
In the end, he really found a blind spot.
That is the old god "Si Sui".
While studying with his teacher Parra, Gilan once learned of an ancient legend in a casual conversation.
According to legend, in the Dust Age before dawn BC, the timekeeping at that time was not accurate.
The ancient Xilu people simply divided the year into four seasons, but did not create a calendar, so there were no months and weeks, nor an accurate time on a day.
It was during that period that the Four Great Si Sui appeared in the records of human civilization.
They not only represent the four seasons, but also represent the four time periods of the day.
They are morning, noon, evening and night.
Paracelsus jokingly told Gilan at that time that Si Sui played the role of Si Chen today in the earliest stages of human civilization to a certain extent.
After all, the twelve celestial beings not only symbolize the twelve months and twelve stars, but also the twelve hours of the day.
According to this ancient saying.
The first Si Sui "Scar Father" is noon, the five hours from 11 to 15;
The second Si Sui "Fan Mu" is morning, the five hours from 6 to 10;
The third year-old "Miss Tears" is late, which is the five hours from 16 to 20;
The fourth year-old "Mr. Pearl" is night, which is the nine hours from 21 to 5 o'clock;< br>
Why the Moon God spends the most time in charge is unknown. Even Paracelsus could not come up with a definite statement.
But he guessed that this might be related to the authority of the Moon God.
‘Because in the third year of life, Alice, the goddess of love, "Miss Tears" died, so were these five hours lost in the dream? ’
Gillan couldn't help but guess.
He always felt that there was some unknown secret hidden in it, but now he was unable to explore it.
During the four days in the dream, Gilan and Weiwei have been wandering in the transition zone at the entrance of the "corridor", which is also the "limbo of hell", constantly hunting for devils.
The harvest is also huge.
Gilan successfully hunted five more devil lords one after another, all of whom were first-level Baron Viscount.
As for ordinary devils, hunt hundreds of them.
Excluding the points consumed by using alchemy, he has accumulated a total of about 3,000 points of mysterious energy.
This made Jilan quite happy.
On this day, he took Weiwei to sit on a huge red rock in the wilderness and take a rest.
"Master, Weiwei can't sense the breath of other devils for the time being... I'm afraid they can't be found in this area."
Weiwei lay tiredly on his shoulder and said feebly.
The continuous hunting these days has made the little familiar very tired.
"It's possible that we made too much noise, which aroused the vigilance of those devils, so they all ran away."
Gilan shook his head and said softly.
“Forget it, let’s stop here first for this hunting. Weiwei, you can go back to the ring to rest.”
"Yes, Master." Weiwei nodded her little head and immediately slipped into Jilan's sapphire ring.
Jilan let out a long breath, and then secretly said in his heart:
'Bailan, deducing the player's path to the fifth-level essence! ’
