Lord Xue Ying's

Chapter 42 – Demon Water Crystals

The giant octagonal inner castle covers an area of up to two miles. Such a large area could only mean that there were many traps laid within it.

"Lu Huai Ru hid inside. So, the only thing we can do is kill while we are in, ” Si Bai Rong said. However, when he looked forward to the dark and sinister passageway leading to the depths of the castle, he became hesitant. "I think there should be a countless number of Arays inside. We will need someone strong to lead us. ”

Xue Ying smiled hearing that.

'This Bai Rong! On the one hand, he wanted prestige ... on the other, he was afraid. I don't know how his strength managed to reach the ranker stage of Silver Moon ... '

Instead, Tang Xiong and Liang Yong, both of them were extremely calm and composed. They turned towards Jing Qiu, hoping that he could make a decision.

"If we rush blindly, we're just looking to die." Jing Qiu's cold voice calmed the other experts. "Although Lu Huai Ru was only a Mage-rank meteor, she was still good at refining. It is certain that he has placed countless trap arrays against us. Even if a Silver Moon ranked Knight dared to blindly, his life would still be threatened. Fellow experts, please give me some time. I will use my magic to try to find the possible array in front of us. "

Jing Qiu started chanting spells for spells, staff in hand.

In fact, the reason behind why magicians chant spell spells is to induce self-hypnosis. After all, some of the most powerful spells in the world demand too much from witches and are very difficult to cast. This could not have been made without self-hypnosis through mantra spells.

As for low-level spells, magicians could only cast them out without having to chant spells. Just like Jing Qiu's Frost Domain, there was absolutely no pressure on the mage in that casting.

Hua hua hua ~~~ Right in front of their eyes, an unbelievable amount of ice started clumping together, forming the shape of a 20-meter-long giant ice snake. The snake's body was extremely clear, and its head was filled with killing intent, causing Si Bai Rong, Tang Xiong and the other experts to feel a feeling of alertness towards it.

"Level 5: Frost Snake." Xue Ying nodded without feeling. “Frost Snake who was born with a spell has no weaknesses. Let alone ordinary SIlver Moon Knights; in terms of strength, it would not lose too badly even against formidable Legend Knights! However, the current technique of Jing Qiu to form a snake was not enough up to standard. If it would have ten heads .. even the rank-Legenda would be threatened by it. However, if we were to compare the Frost Snake with the Legend-rankers who had attained the status of 'One with the World' and who had the ability to fully utilize the laws of nature, the former would not have the slightest. hope to show his strength in front of the latter. "

Right now, Jing Qiu was still chanting the spell for the spell.

As time passed, another identical giant Frost Snake appeared next to the first one.

"My magic power is limited. I have to conserve the rest for any unexpected circumstances that we might face later, ” Jing Qiu said. "With two Frost Snake leading the way, we should be safe."

"Ha huh! As I have said before, it is truly our wealth to join the Silver Moon Mage with us! ”Tang Xiong shouted happily. This “Frost Snake has no weaknesses, and will easily advance. If we lead the way, I'm afraid we'll have to risk our lives. ”

"Jing Qiu is really tough," Si Bai Rong began to flatter. "good. We're leaving now. Jing Qiu, please remain among the four of us. We will protect you. Old Liang and I will take the front while Xue Ying and Tang Xiong take the back. ”

Just a moment ago, he was afraid of leading the way.

However, he suddenly regained his confidence with the two giant snakes leading the group.

……

The two gigantic Frost Snakes began to creep in the vast corridor. Each time they finished crossing the passage, the snakes would whip their tails at the surrounding walls. Rumbles of ~~~ Vibration could be heard echoing throughout the hallway. Its power was so strong that the walls of the passageway seemed to collapse. Along the way, some of the arrays they found were immediately destroyed. As for the arrays that escaped their notice, they would only inflict damage to the Frost Snakes' bodies. Although some parts of the ice snake's body were knocked down by the damage inflicted, the cold energy supplied by the magic power within their bodies reformed those parts instantly. However, one could notice that after each cycle of reform, the snakes would gradually shrink.

Every time they attacked or were injured, the Frost Snakes would lose their frozen energy, until the moment when they would be completely annihilated due to their fading energy.

Ignoring that, these two Frost Snakes had no weaknesses. They could advance blindly, without fear of any danger to their bodies.

"It's scary." While defending the rear, Xue Ying wondered, If we give the witches enough time to cast their spells, the threat they pose will be a thousand times greater than the threat of the knights. Some high-level spells cast by magicians can even be disastrous. '

A magician can be likened to a scholar, because they generally study the laws of nature. If given enough time to devour the laws of nature, then a magician could even be said to be incomparable. Any knight who came their way would only serve his life on a plate. The longer a witch lived, the stronger her spells and arrangements were, and the greater her threat to the other party.

As for knights? They were actually much more vicious than witches.

Knights have a very explosive power. The moment they decided to kill, they would advance at such speed, that before one could even finish blinking once, they would be forever lost to the world. With power comes speed. With speed comes strength. For example, Xue Ying could easily cover a distance of a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, and an ordinary warrior would not even be able to see the slightest bit of his shadow. An extremely frightening speed ..if he decided he wanted to kill the mage, the mage would not have the slightest chance to react. Thus, it could be said that both mages and knights had their own strengths and weaknesses.

Rumbling rumbling rumbling ~~~

Frost Snakes had strength comparable to Legend rank, despite the fact that if they engaged in close combat, they would not be as severe as Knights. However, the task of destroying the hall was a simple feat for two Frost Snakes. Many walls were already shattered with rumbling sounds. The arrays had no time at all to display their frightening strength as they had already been erased by the progress of creeping the two snakes before even getting a chance to activate.

Even though all the walls of the passage were smashed to pieces, the castle was still stable, showing how good the foundation was. After all, the main support of the castle still persisted.

"Don't be so complacent!" Jing Qiu replied. He was still on guard, looking for possible dangers coming from the road ahead. “Dealing with a formidable Master Refiner, we should expect to find many arrays. Although my two Frost Snake currently destroyed at least 90 percent of the traps ahead, it is safe to assume that there are some arrays untouched. We must remain cautious as long as we have not gained absolute security. ”

"As you said, over 90 percent of the arrays were destroyed. What is left to threaten our lives? If we compare Lu Huai Ru and you, Jing Qiu? Well, I dare say that there is no chance of him beating you. Jing Qiu, you have studied at Eternal Wind Academy, a place filled with experts. Having to deal with all of them, how could Lu Huai Ru even come up with something you haven't seen before? '' Si Bai Rong said proudly. Still, even though Si Bai Rong looked confident on the outside, his actions showed otherwise. Following his patron, Liang Yong, who was still looking for a possible danger, he never really let his guard wear off.

……

Hidden inside the inner room was a large hall.

Lu Huai Ru was sitting high on the throne, frowning at the current situation. Beside him, there were three Meteor-ranked Knights preparing to heed his call.

"Dam. Who would have thought that there was actually a Silver Moon Mage ?! ”Lu Huai Ru grimaces. Before this, he had only seen frost appear outside the castle, and judging from the fact that no one had died from it, he said, he thought that the hit man who came for his life should not be a threat. Without seeing them, he rushed into the inner room, and now he more than regretted it. He did not even know who the murderer was or how many had been sent to take his life.

"Cult leader, what should we do?" The three protectors looked towards him.

“What can we do? With the destructive power of those two Frost Snakes, almost all of my arrays had already been destroyed. As for those left behind? With such a miserable amount, all they could get was to make the Frost Snakes lose some of their energy. ”Lu Huai Ru shook her head. "There seems to be only one way out."

His entire inner chamber was filled with a number of arrays designed to kill. Undoubtedly, there were certain places that had quite focused killing power in one area.

But both Frost Snakes ...

They had led him to make the ultimate choice to deal with the situation - to use the most powerful trap he had in his arsenal.

"There's an absolute killing array in the seventh aisle!" Lu Huai Ru exclaimed. “It was actually one of my strongest array formations used to kill. However, with two snakes in the lead, the most arrays could kill 2-3 Silver Moon Knights. So, I need the help of the three of you. Just when the assassins entered the formation, I want you to strike forward and finish them off. ”

"Yes, as you ordered." The three guards each took out a pendant, before opening it. Inside, there was one blood-colored crystal.

With hesitation, the three knights took the crystal and ate it.

In an instant, their bodies underwent several changes - the skin of the three knights became even redder at those seconds, and with trembling, the Dou Qi in their bodies began to change.

This was truly the treasure that saved their lives - the Demonic Water Crystal. If a Legend soldier used it, there would not be much of an effect. However, if a Meteor Knight or Silver Moon Knight were to use it, then the effect would be incredible. Generally speaking, after eating that crystal, the Meteor Knight would temporarily have the power to rival the Silver Moon Knight. However, once the effect is gone, the user will be tired for 2-3 days, or even more.

Still, such a crystal, capable of increasing one's strength by an entire rank, could be said to be extremely valuable. Within the cult of the Demon God in the Azure River County, there was only enough for everyone to have one of them.

"Don't be heartbroken. Once we pass this ordeal, we will definitely move to another area. Next, I will ask the tops for other crystals for each of you, ” Lu Huai Ru said. "Go! Wait for them in the seventh hallway! ”

"Yes." Yeah."

Three red-skinned protectors immediately walked out of the main hall.

As the three of them left, a monster-looking man walked out from the side door. His footsteps created a slight tremor throughout the hall. Lu Huai Ru immediately stood up. "What's going on? Is there a problem with brewing? ”The monster-faced man asked.

"My God, I'm afraid this place is open."

"Because?" The man who looked like a monster walked towards the throne and sat down, asking with a frown, "Did they find me?"

"If they find you, my Lord, I doubt they will only send some Silver Moon rank ... Instead, they would send Si Liang Hong, Xiang Pang Yun, and even some Transcendents here."

Ordinary Legend rankings could get Bronze orders easily.

For those in power, entering the list of three thousand imperial names was easy. However, there is a big difference between having their name on the list and not having it.

As for Si Liang Hong? He had lived for hundreds of years, and must have been a cold-blooded monster. Xiang Pang Yun though was more savage than Si Liang Hong. Both of them were currently within the top 500 Legend rank warriors within Dragon Mountain Empire. Comparing them to ordinary Legend soldiers would be the same as comparing heaven and earth.

"Some Silver Moon rank?" The man who looked like a monster scoffed. “Just in front of me, they're just ants. It is unfortunate that you have to leave this area after a few weeks of stay ... "
