Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

The girl in the coffin has long silver-gray hair that burns like a flame and moves automatically without wind.

This is not an exaggerated metaphor, but a fact: her hair is not an entity, but a mimicry of energy that changes with the fluctuations of the surrounding aura.

The act of opening the coffin itself changes the aura environment, causing the fire-like silver hair that is enough to cover the girl's body to float in the air and emit little phosphorescent sparks.

And a kind of vitality overflowed from the coffin and spread to the entire hall.

If you observe carefully, you can find that she has outstanding appearance and quite graceful figure. The girl is smiling and sleeping, with her hands clasped in front of her chest, as if to protect something, but the thing is covered behind her back by slender hands. Can't see the whole thing.

In addition, there was a faint flashing halo of light appearing behind her head, making everyone present feel their minds clear, as if many sad and helpless things in their minds were slowly fading away.

This, this?! What's in the coffin...

After opening the coffin, Harder's eyes showed obvious greed and desire after the initial shock. He stared at the girl's face and swallowed subconsciously.

But soon, he became alert and immediately looked away. His eyes became clear again, and the swordsman's tone was full of surprise and confusion: You can actually charm me with just one glance... This guy probably doesn't have the blood of a goblin or a succubus!

But why, obviously based on intelligence...

At this point, Harder immediately stopped talking.

Knowing that he had made a mistake, he simply stepped aside and frowned, thinking about something.

On the other side of the coffin, the huge silver-blue armor moved slightly, allowing the camera to better scan the opened black coffin.

【I see……】

After confirming the current situation of the girl in the coffin, Master Suiguang sighed as if he suddenly realized something.

The tone coming from the mechanical carapace was one of relief: [Ms. Yelena, is this your purpose? No wonder...no wonder...beyond my expectation. 】

Smell, very fragrant...

As for Adama, like Hade, he showed a greedy and eager expression when he saw the girl, and he was also swallowing saliva.

But obviously, the idea of ​​​​being also charmed and wanting to 'eat' the other person and transform the disease giant into a demon is a bit more pure and direct -

The giant's green eyes were releasing obvious pure appetite at this moment!

Patients with demonized disease are feared and loathed by everyone in the world of Aian, not only because patients with demonized disease will fall into madness, but also because demonization will enhance the patient's strength, making their existence itself very dangerous.

What really disgusts everyone is the obvious tendency of soul-eating and cannibalism that occurs when patients with demonic disease become crazy to a certain extent.

The source energy erosion caused by the demonic disease will cause ordinary people who originally had no souls to have souls and become soul condensers, step into the extraordinary realm, and gain their own abilities.

But such a soul is dirty, fragile, and extremely corrosive, and will quickly corrode the demonized person's mind and body, putting their mind on the verge of collapse.

Out of survival instinct, demonized people will crave 'normal' souls, and they will want to devour large amounts of 'pure' souls and flesh, just like adding a large amount of pure water to a bottle of sewage to dilute the impurities. .

However, the impurities in the soul of the demonized person will continue to increase. Without special methods to contain them, the demonized person either eats the souls of hundreds or thousands of people and becomes a 'human demon', or else his soul collapses and turns into a pure demonized beast.

Adama naturally did not have the power or time to devour thousands of soul condensers, and became the most terrifying 'human demon' among all demonizers.

Therefore, this awakened person, who probably has the blood of the Nemean Lion in his ancestors, is now almost completely transformed into a beast. He is already lying on the ground on all fours, and seems to be about to pounce out and put the extremely pure soul in front of him in the coffin. The girl, even her soul, flesh and blood and bones were swallowed into her belly.

If he hadn't been wary of the power of Master Suiguang and Yelena, he might have started to act instinctively.

But at this moment, even Yelena showed a shocked expression and did not notice Adama's fear at the first time.

how come?

The woman who led the mission to explore the ruins was not surprised by the fact that the girl in the coffin existed, but by something else.

Why?

She said to herself in surprise, and even took a step back slightly, her eyes showing confusion and confusion: Why is he alive?!

Obviously the previous goal...could it be that...

After being flustered and puzzled, Yelena's expression suddenly turned into ecstasy: Holy sun, twelve thousand days and nights, has good luck finally come to me?!

It is different from everyone who has various expressions, many worries, and obviously has their own plans.

Yo, female, alive.

Su Zhou, who came just to watch the excitement, smacked his lips. He looked down at the girl in the coffin, and then began to admire the iron coffin: This iron coffin is actually a source energy stasis field generator. As long as the energy is sufficient, the coffin can be All molecular motions are completely fixed, making them completely motionless.

This is simply a time-stopping spell, one-way time travel achieved in the stupidest way!

In addition, he could also see that the history of this iron coffin was more than eight thousand years, and it was not surprising that it was ten thousand years old.

In other words, before the spiritual energy of the multiverse was cut off, the girl in the coffin had already laid down in it.

Of course, it's not that Su Zhou doesn't have any opinions about the girl. The situation of the girl is indeed very abnormal, but it will be nice to read it directly when he has the opportunity to use the Book of Prajna. Now he is guessing, and he, an outsider, will definitely not be able to guess anything. Come out.

At this moment, the fact that the iron coffin, or the 'source energy stasis field generator' was opened did not wake the girl up. She was still sleeping, breathing evenly, just like before she lay down, with a trace of anger on her face. A faint smile.

Okay, great!

As for Gaza and Luo Ya, they were looking at Su Zhou with admiration. They felt that the professor was worthy of being a professor and was indeed knowledgeable. Although they understood every word, they couldn't understand it at all when connected together!

What are you looking at? Close it!

Realizing that Harder and Adama were still looking at the girl in the coffin, Yelena shouted coldly. She held one hand on the hilt of the sword. Immediately, a sharp wind suddenly rose and stirred in the hall, causing the two of them to react. .

As a wandering knight, Yelena is best at combat skills and spells related to the energy of the wind. It is said that she once smashed the protective arrow tower of the mobile city-state with a sword, and the violent wind could cut huge holes in the rock with just the aftermath. scars.

...Hmph, I can understand your choice now.

Although he still kept his mouth shut, Hader still obeyed Yelena's order and raised his hand obediently, preparing to close the iron coffin again.

Your understanding is not required.

The female knight replied coldly that she was indeed ecstatic before, but when she thought that the information about the girl in the coffin was also known to those present, her face couldn't help but turn ugly.

But the one uglier than her was the demonized giant.

Roar!!!

When the door of the iron coffin was closed, blocking all the girl's breath including the fluctuation of her soul, Adama, who had lost her food target, let out a terrifying roar, which was like the roar of an energy engine, shaking the whole place. hall.

He turned his head fiercely and looked at Hard, who was closing the iron coffin. His deep green pupils seemed to be burning, releasing the radiance of source energy visible to the naked eye.

Click, click, click, the sound of clothes being stretched by the expanded muscles was heard. In just a few seconds, the expanded demonized muscles made the demonized person taller again. Sharp claws grew on his five fingers, and the facial features on his face They were also completely twisted together, turning into the appearance of a ferocious and angry beast.

I told you a long time ago that I should have killed him earlier!

Hader, who was regarded as the target, did not panic. He was wary of Adama from the beginning. The moment the opponent roared, he jumped back quickly and avoided Adama's powerful claw attack.

While debris was flying on the broken rocky ground, the swordsman had already pulled out his long sword, and the demonized giant's arm, which had begun to grow animal hair, also had a long wound, which was profound and difficult. of wounds.

In the torn flesh and blood, there are faintly broken ice crystals spreading, and the low temperature spreads, slowing down the movement.

As a native of the Ionian Mountains in the north, Harder's source of energy is naturally biased towards frost, which can slow down the enemy's movements.

The more he relies on his body, the more he restrains him. Therefore, when Adama was transformed into a demon, he gained powerful physical strength, but after gradually losing his earth energy, he was able to take advantage.

Chi————

But with such a minor injury, it was obviously impossible for Adama to calm down. He blew out a breath from his nostrils, and the black demonic runes all over his body lit up slightly.

The most primitive source energy, which has not been refined and purified by any guidance technique, is absorbed by him. Then turn it into strength.

The torn flesh and blood wounds regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye. The demonized giant flew out without hesitation, and the swordsman who clicked his tongue began to condense source energy, causing little bits of frost and snow to fly around his body, preparing for the next blow. Cut off the tendons at the opponent's joints.

【Please stop. 】

At this time, along with a sound that sounded almost like a sigh, a swift and violent wind blew.

In the next moment, both Hade, who was about to slash out the sword in his hand, and Adama, who had already jumped out, froze in place.

Because, a huge mechanical armor has appeared among them.

And...he grabbed Hader's sword with one hand, and jammed Adama's neck with the other hand, forcing the fight between the two sides to stop.

Not moving at all. No matter how hard Hader tried to draw the sword, and no matter how hard Adama tried to struggle, the silver-green armor remained motionless. Master Suiguang's helpless voice came from it: [Just to give me face, both sides stopped. how? 】

With that said, he first released the restraint on Hard's sword, causing the source energy weapon made of frost-patterned steel to fall to the ground.

The master calmly said to Hard, who looked quite ugly: [Mr. Hard, Mr. Adama saved us twice after all. Even though he was almost devoured by madness, he was not incurable. 】

[The Demonized Life Research Institute of the Chasing Light Order has unique skills in alleviating demonized diseases and demonized souls. After the adventure is over, I will invite Mr. Adama back to the Order so that he can receive the most complete treatment. . 】

...That sounds nice, but how do you plan to restore this obviously crazy guy to normal?

After picking up the long sword on the ground, Harder looked ugly, but still put the weapon back into its sheath to give Master Suiguang face.

Master Suiguang didn't speak. The mechanical armor raised a finger, the steel structure shrank, and then a needle protruded from it.

He inserted a finger into the scalp of Adama who was still struggling, and the blue fluorescent alchemical potion was injected into the subcutaneous tissue - the demonized giant calmed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the flashing demonized lines on his body began to appear. Gradually it faded away, and the animal-like features began to return to their original state little by little.

Adama's green eyes also changed from pure appetite to weak confusion: he regained a little consciousness and didn't understand what was happening now.

The lofty status of alchemists in the world of Aian lies in this: their mastery of technology far exceeds that of anyone else. No one knows what an alchemist can do. A powerful alchemist is almost omnipotent.

Good! Good fight!

And Su Zhou stood aside with the children, watching everything happily, as if nothing happened to him: It's so exciting!

The others' expressions froze obviously, but they all pretended not to hear.

The ancestors in the ancient ruins...it turns out that this is your purpose.

Hard, who sheathed his sword, was facing Yelena again. The loud-sounding swordsman's tone changed from the previous sarcasm and provocation, and instead became as calm as ice. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what kind of face he looked like. This is his disguise: If we had known that there was such a target in this ruins, our preparations could have been more complete.

Now that you know it, are you satisfied?

The female knight sneered, she still had resentment: You know this matter won't end like this, Modesto (Hard's last name), let's see if the people behind you can protect you.

Haha, I dare say the people above already knew the result would be like this.

Hader was not afraid of the threat hidden in the other party's words at all. He shrugged, then turned and walked towards his luggage: But before that, we still have to work together to get out of this ruins - what happens next will be done later. Say it again.

Then I hope you have a smooth journey.

It sounds like it's just two guys with unusual backgrounds bickering with each other.

But Su Zhou could notice that while the two men were talking, they glanced at everyone in the hall with the corner of their eyes.

Naturally, that includes him.

Good guy. He chuckled.

After subduing and calming down Adama, Master Suiguang also informed everyone of the new location of the water source he discovered: a depression formed by a collapse on the west side of the ruins, where a large amount of melted clear water accumulated. It flowed out from the cracks in the broken rocks.

Hader sets off alone, with Master Flintlight and Adama following closely behind.

Yelena took the iron coffin with her and told Su Zhou, 'Let the children be careful not to catch cold' before leaving.

This is sincere. This female knight may have ulterior motives, but she does care about the children. It's no wonder that both Gaza and Loya had a good impression of Yelena before.

At this moment, there was only a bonfire left in the entire hall, and Su Zhou's master and apprentice.

Dean, Dean!

After everyone left, Luo Ya, who had been quite puzzled from the beginning, couldn't help but rush out from behind Gasha. He asked Su Zhou doubtfully: What were they doing just now? Why did they suddenly fight? Woke up?

Although Gasha was silent, looking at the way he looked up at Su Zhou, it was obvious that he didn't understand.

Their cultural literacy is not high and they cannot communicate smoothly.

After being looked up to by the two children, Su Zhou thought for a while and replied seriously: Because of the lack of language ability, it is necessary to act, tell riddles, and fight with each other, so that information can be conveyed to each other while concealing one's true thoughts.

At this moment, the white-haired old man shook his head and said in a solemn tone: Luo Ya, and Gasha, remember, you can't imitate them in your behavior in the future.

As a human being, you should speak human language!

Yeah! Hearing Su Zhou's solemn words, the two children immediately nodded in agreement, indicating that they fully understood.

The water source is not far from the ruins hall and can be reached within ten minutes of walking.

The Chu Yao Ruins located in the northern Ionian Mountains is a giant prehistoric ruins group, which is thousands of meters across and more than three thousand meters deep underground. It can almost be said that it hollowed out a mountain. This is very important for prehistoric civilization. It’s no small project to say the least.

Even though the geological changes and natural disasters in the past ten thousand years have destroyed a considerable part of the structure of the ruins, what is left is still huge enough.

After arriving at the new water source, the exploration team still did not gather together. Instead, they set up their own campsites separately. Unlike before, the people who were basically at odds with each other no longer concealed their hostility and wariness. .

The iron coffin containing the girl of the ancestors was in the center of everyone's camp. Everyone monitored each other, and no one could get close to it unless necessary.

Soon it was break time and everyone got into their tents and sleeping bags to rest.

After Su Zhou put the two children to sleep, he continued to practice the method of immortality.

Although the immortality method is easy to get started, it is more important to persist in practice. In a perfect world, the power of the original dragon serves as the driving force, so that the immortality method can rotate spontaneously, but in other worlds, you must realize it on your own.

While accumulating source energy, Su Zhou practiced while recalling the memories of this world's unique practice method in his mind.

After rummaging around, he actually found a few source energy guidance techniques that Svetrey had practiced before.

But it's all garbage.

It’s not that it’s not good, nor that the practice is rough, not precise enough, or of low quality—in fact, the guidance technique in the Aian world is quite sophisticated, and in terms of quality, it is not inferior to the same-level techniques on the earth. .

Taking into account the special local aura density, the difficulty is a bit higher.

The problem is, probably because Svetrey has no choice, the method he practices is completely different from his own talent.

Su Zhou's current body tends to use spiritual force fields to control metals. In other words, it is the 'Thunder' and 'Metal' elements - this must be practiced by Su Zhou's own 'Five Extremes Divine Thunder Zhen'. Dharma, and Bai Di's Taibai defeats disasters and breaks the tribulations of Hao Ling Shen Jin, this is called a professional counterpart.

But what about Sveteri? He practices the water system!

Because as an alchemist and a pharmaceutical alchemist who prefers medicine, water guidance is indeed very suitable for Svetrey's profession and can ensure his complete mastery of pharmaceuticals, but it has nothing to do with his natural talent.

Although it does not mean that the skills that everyone can practice are inherently destined, Svetrey is not so powerful that he can become a strong person even with half the effort.

After practicing for such a long time, as a well-known royal alchemist, he has no shortage of time and resources. When he is over sixty years old, he is only an intermediate level of inner light. The reason for this is very clear.

The Divine Thunder True Technique and the Hao Ling Divine Forbidden Law are both a bit too strong, and the basic parameters of the world and the density of spiritual energy are different. If you want to practice, you need to fine-tune it.

Sitting in front of the tent, Su Zhou closed his eyes, and the light of the campfire passed through his eyelids, sending a hint of warmth.

Although the white-haired old man still looked wrinkled at the moment, under that layer of skin, the originally shriveled and aged flesh and blood had begun to regain the vitality of his youth.

The blood of the devil makes Svetre tall. Even though he is an alchemist, his physique is not particularly bad, and he has significant poison resistance, which is of great help to the alchemist's work.

But now, the devil's bloodline has been continuously cut, improved and activated by the breath of the sacred tree by Su Zhou - that is, there is not enough food in the ruins. Otherwise, if there is enough food, Su Zhou can completely absorb the devil's bloodline in his body. Activated to 80% strength.

In that case, he is only over sixty years old. To the devil, he has just reached adulthood!

Now, Su Zhou's body cannot withstand the too powerful cultivation method, and the cultivation method itself also needs to be adapted to the situation in the world of Aian... In the final analysis, the rotational immortality method can only live forever and cannot fight.

so. In order to deal with the intricate relationship between the exploration team in the ruins, as well as natural disasters from the outside world and the possible presence of local Manchu witchcraft forces, he began to prepare to practice another method of cultivation that could basically adapt to the conditions of all realms.

The Five Virtues Qilin Method!

As a practice method created by Su Zhou and that Sara can learn, the Five Virtues Qilin Method can improve people's qualifications and enable non-illiterate intelligent creatures to embark on the path of practice. It can also be carried out according to each person's talent. Specialization in related attributes.

Buzz.

Opening his left hand, subtle green-blue thunder and lightning lingered between Su Zhou's fingers, and finally condensed into a small thunder ball in the palm of his hand.

The destructive power of this thunder ball can only kill mosquitoes at most, and even cockroaches may be a bit reluctant.

But this was just the result of Su Zhou's less than ten minutes of practice.

He smiled, and then opened his right hand: the iron sand and metal debris on the ground immediately gathered in his hand like a tornado, and finally condensed into an iron ball with many cracks and not completely condensed.

Not bad, although it's still very weak, but it's just one night.

Clenching his fists, he crushed both the small thunder ball and the iron ball. Su Zhou looked calm: Based on the Five Virtues Qilin Method, we will then specialize in the Haoling Divine Forbidden Law and the Thunder Method, and at the same time learn from the local cultivation methods of this world. Make improvements—the spiritual problems are almost solved.”

The next step is to wait.

With this in mind, Su Zhou stood up and prepared to go back to the tent to rest.

After all, his body has not yet awakened the devil's blood. He is still an old man who is nearly seventy years old and has an empty body.

Even if the soul is awake, it still needs to rest when it is time, otherwise the body will die suddenly and it will take a lot of effort to resurrect.

Even Su Zhou didn't want to revive a corpse cell by cell. Once was enough, twice was too dirty.

Lie down and listen to your children's steady breathing.

Su Zhou fell into sleep for the first time in about three years on his own initiative to rest.

Time passed, and he spent his first day in this world like this.

The next day, after everyone in the exploration team gathered again in front of the iron coffin to communicate, they began to separate and look for possible exits from the ruins.

Unbeknownst to others, at least Gaza and Luo Ya had really been searching seriously for a whole day. While Su Zhou was walking and practicing, he also watched the boys' search with great interest.

He knew that even if he died, these two people could work together to escape from the ruins - this proved that there was indeed a gap in the ruins, and it was not hidden deep enough for the two children to find it.

There are a large number of reliefs and murals inside the Chuyao ruins, which roughly describe the war between the gods. Those naturally powerful natural spirits were worshiped by acquired intelligent creatures, and eventually transformed into a form similar to humans and became gods.

Accompanying Gaza and Luo Ya to find the exit, Su Zhou took a look at these prehistoric artworks.

Although there are some gaps due to the long period of time and changes in the ruins, it can also be seen that it is a rather confusing story.

——At first, it was a huge tree.

It burns brightly, brighter than the holy sun, and all living things are born and thrive under the light of the tree.

But one day, the giant tree declined. It collapsed, withered, the flames were extinguished, and the ashes flew. However, it also brought endless vitality to the entire land. The mountains are its branches, the plains are its bark, and the ups and downs of mountains and hills are The result of the layers of His leaves.

And the ashes turned into soil, and the sparks within them shone, allowing humans to be born from them.

At the same time, on the remaining stumps of the giant tree, the first gods were born. Although these natural gods who inherited the power of the sacred tree were powerful, they had no divinity and were almost mortal in character.

They conspire against each other, steal and rob, and wear hats to snatch each other's wives. There are even gods who transform into thousands of appearances and travel around the world, just to find the beauties who suit their own desires - in this regard, they are not the same as the earth. The Mycenaean pantheon is quite consistent, so the gods on Mount Olympus in the past must have felt that they had met their soul mates.

The chaotic and arbitrary pantheon actually means vitality, and the war between the gods also means progress and development.

As the gods conquered and fought against each other, the skills and techniques of mortals also began to flourish: some were powers given by the gods, and some were fragments of divine power dropped from the sky. These powers led the development of civilization, and the talents were better than the others, and ultimately the The gods also looked at him in amazement.

Originally, what came next was supposed to be the vast Golden Age of the Gods, with civilization developing rapidly.

But unfortunately, the reality is not always as beautiful as human imagination.

On top of the mural, a very abstract flying dragon appears.

It seems to be waking up from the earth, and it seems to be coming from the moon. Along with the tide of source energy between the holy sun and the devil moon again and again, amidst the raging of terrible natural disasters, there is finally a kind of creature, no, there is a kind of creature. The 'living celestial phenomenon' awakens from the wave of disaster and source energy.

It has the image of a dragon, but it is not a dragon. It swallows light, but it is not dark. Wherever this monster passes by like the light of dusk at dusk, crops will fail, vegetation will wither, and everything with life and blood will be swept away like a sickle. The withered grass has all withered and fallen to the ground.

The sky and the earth are darkened, all things are declining; the gods tremble, and the city-states are frightened.

All vitality is what this dragon absorbs, but it is not a living thing - the monster called the Dragon of Twilight is a living natural disaster, with physical storms, droughts and frosts. It complies with the holy sun and the The tides of the demonic moon move, returning everything to the 'emptiness' at the beginning of the world.

The gods were unable to stop it and even killed many of them.

In order to solve this disaster that was almost annihilating the world, the gods finally decided to put aside their past grudges and join forces to seal the Dragon of Dusk.

The vast coalition of gods faced off against the Dragon of Dusk and its family of natural disasters. This was an unprecedented and ultimate battle.

After this, there is none.

Obviously, the ruins of Chuyao were created before the war between sentient beings and the Dragon of Twilight, and they may even be a refuge. Naturally, the murals inside it cannot depict the future.

However, although the following story was not written in the previous era, the historical records of this era are very clear.

The Dragon of Dusk was sealed by the gods in the 'Sealed Moon', and the civilization of the New Era has developed from scratch to the present, and has now embarked on its own path.

Slowly muttering to himself, Su Zhou turned his head and looked at the corner of the ruins corridor: Although it is a cliché and exaggerated, this kind of myth is indeed worthy of analysis, isn't it?

Ms. Yelena?

...You know, sometimes myths are not exaggerated.

Accompanied by a capable and concise female voice, the short-haired female knight walked out of the corner.

She had a strange look on her face, as if she couldn't figure out why Su Zhou could detect herself who was conscientiously hiding her aura and using the wind to restrain her smell and sound vibrations - when she was found outside the room last time, she thought it was because she didn't seriously activate her source. He can do magic, but this performance proves that this is not the case.

However, even if she was doubtful, it did not prevent Yelena from continuing to speak: According to archaeological findings in recent years, the ancient gods do exist, and the Dragon of Dusk and the Sealed Moon are not legends. The beliefs of the two major barbarian tribes are more advanced than our civilization. ancient.

Just say what you have to say.

Su Zhou shook his head slightly - he not only believed it, but when he saw the giant tree, Su Zhou knew that the mural was inseparable from its authenticity.

Most of the natives in this world don't understand why there was a strange tree standing between the sky and the earth at the beginning of the world, but he knows better. It is obviously the projection of the World Tree.

And his decline means the failure of the World Tree and Twilight War.

As for Yelena, the reason why this knight who can control the air and strong wind was discovered is of course because Su Zhou is also good at playing with the wind - the Great Zhou Tianlan species is indeed not suitable for Svetrey's physique, but his previous experience has made Su Zhou's perception sharp. .

Is that okay? Yelena raised her eyebrows. She looked at Gaza and Luo Ya on one side, her tone hesitant.

The boys also noticed that the current atmosphere was unusual, so they all stood beside Su Zhou.

Will others show mercy because they don't know? Su Zhou asked back.

This answer is quite sufficient.

...Okay. She was silent for a while and nodded: Indeed.

Yelena took a breath and said in a deep voice: Professor Svitley, you are a truly smart person. You should understand that Master Suiguang's current behavior is very wrong.

He is very dangerous now, even ten times more dangerous than the demonized Adama!

Good guy, what a familiar phrase——

Smart people know it, Yelena, the old Riddler.

I couldn't help but smile, who is Su Zhou? How could he be restrained by such simple words?

So the old man immediately shook his head: I'm sorry, I don't understand.

There are too many left to finish, so there will be a big chapter tomorrow!
