Chapter 370 The Evil Coming to the World
As the main attacker, Luo Qingqing could only see the outlines of two groups of air at first. The huge and dense one was the evil spirit, and the other light green one was the enemy's air sensor.
As the distance got closer, more details came into her consciousness.
For example, the big demon was not exactly as Li described, a human figure wearing a hooded robe. Behind it, it seemed that there were countless tiny tentacles floating in the wind - those black lines made of air continued to extend far away, and it was difficult to tell where they went.
However, her primary target was still the imperial mage.
Six flying swords were thrown at the enemy in turn, aiming at the three vital points of the neck, chest and abdomen respectively. The previous fight had made Luo Qingqing realize that the opponent had a magic weapon that could automatically defend, so she planned to break the trick with force and leave no room for it. Controlling six dragon scales at the same time consumes a lot of air, but the offensive is also the most fierce.
Then she saw a strange scene.
The dragon scale that flew out first slowed down.
It was like drilling into a muddy field.
But she did not feel any delay, everything was as usual.
This abnormal feeling that did not match reality made Luo Qingqing's heart alarm bells. She stopped and retreated quickly, but the evil spirit still maintained the same distance from her.
At this time, she felt that one of her legs was entangled by something.
As soon as she lowered her head, she felt a sharp pain in her leg, and then her body was dragged backward by a huge force.
In an instant, the evil spirit suddenly went away.
She was pulled forward and fell, rolling on the ground for several circles before stopping.
Looking back, Luo Qingqing found that the thing wrapped around her leg was Yan Qing's chain.
The same was true for Li.
However, compared to Luo Qingqing, whose vision was affected and she could not find the abnormality at the first time, the fox demon almost instantly saw the strange retreating posture of the mage. She quickly changed direction, not only avoiding the surrounding area of the evil spirit, but also making Yan Qing's chain empty.
"Are you okay? Is there anything wrong with your body?" The two walked around Luo Qingqing and asked.
"Not found yet." The latter clenched his five fingers, "Fortunately you have held me back. The evil spirit only affected me for a blink of an eye. There shouldn't be any problem."
The two looked at each other, and a solemn look appeared on their faces.
Luo Qingqing felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, "Is there any problem?"
"You stayed in that area for nearly sixty breaths, and Aunt Yan pulled you back for a long time." Li whispered.
Sixty breaths...?
Luo Qingqing was also stunned. That was one-seventh of an hour. The total time of the previous rounds of fighting with the mage was only so long, but she didn't feel the same at all.
By the way...where are the dragon scales?
She looked back at the position of the mage.
The six dragon scales were still moving forward, and the first one that flew out had already approached the opponent, but the latter seemed to know nothing about it.
After about sixty breaths, the dragon scale pierced her neck from the side and back. The three of them could see it sinking into the skin bit by bit, and blood gradually seeped out of the broken muscles and blood vessels.
Time slowing down has always been a subjective feeling, but this time, they witnessed a space where time passed slowly. It was centered on the demon and had a range of about three meters, which was exactly the length of the demon after it was knocked down.
"In that case -" Luo stood up gently and threw the copper wire pendant again, "Then attack from a distance!"
The thunder fell through the skylight, and the flashing electric light struck the evil spirit all the way - similarly, the hysteresis effect soon appeared, and the speed of the current obviously slowed down, and it was almost completely still when it approached the evil spirit within two steps.
Yan Qing and Li saw the real appearance of lightning for the first time.
Countless tiny sparks moved towards the target little by little, and the light blue tails were dragged behind them - these tails were like roads, guiding the brighter light behind to follow. The scene that should have been completed in one ten-millionth of a breath has now become a vivid picture.
Yan Qing was fine, Li just felt a shock in his heart!
Is this what the natural discharge and ionization channel described by Xia Fan look like in the naked eye?
Her understanding of the world seemed to suddenly become much clearer.
Seeing that it didn't work once, Luo Qingqing simply used all the remaining four copper wire pendants on the evil spirit. Four times of spells, four thunders, and all fell towards the same position!
The dense electric light was more eye-catching, and they woven a net above the evil spirit's head, and the speed of advancement seemed to be a little faster.
Unfortunately, Luo Qingqing had used up all the materials for the spell, and there was not much energy left in her body.
"Now we know." Yan Qing rubbed his forehead, "The closer we are to the demon, the more obvious the delay effect will be, but people in this range will not feel anything unusual, as if the world is supposed to be like this."
"I heard Xia Fan say that people's reactions are inseparable from electric current." Li suddenly had an idea, "Since even lightning can be slowed down, will people's consciousness also be slowed down, resulting in the inability to detect abnormalities?"
"I'm not sure about this... But fortunately, the evil spirit does not seem to have the ability to move at present." Yan Qing pondered, "As long as we don't get close to it, it will not be harmful."
"Wait, Aunt Yan, you don't want to transport it back to Jinxia City, do you?" Li widened his eyes.
"Miss Luo's attack just now shows that the shock technique is not completely ineffective against it. If it is more powerful or more frequent, it may be possible to break through the barrier of the demon. And there is a person in Jinxia City who is very good at the shock technique."
"No, it's not that simple." Luo shook her head gently, and she pointed to the head of the demon, "There - do you see any difference?"
The two looked in the direction she pointed.
Then they took a breath of cold air.
At some point, the hands that the demon covered her face quietly moved away a little, and at the same time, her hood and robe were no longer pure black, but had a little texture, becoming definite and real.
Under those hands, they seemed to see densely packed eyes.
The feeling of being spied on by the demon before... turned out to be not an illusion.
An indescribable chill rose from the soles of Li's feet to the top of his head.
What does this change mean?
The form of the demon when it was summoned was not a complete form, and now it is maturing little by little until it is completely born into the world.
As for what will happen when it becomes a complete form, no one knows.
Yan Qing still maintained a calm expression and gently asked Luo, "How did you find this out?"
There was no point in panicking at this time. If the root cause of the change could be found, there might be a chance to stop the transformation of the demon.
"Lines." Luo said gently, "Behind it, there are many black lines made of air. I just saw several lines entering its body."
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know... but when the black lines roll back, they carry different air."
At this time, the dragon scales finally passed over the mage's neck, completely separating her head and body - at this moment, a large amount of air poured into the demon's body, and its hands suddenly moved halfway away, and all its eyes looked at the three people. The hood on its head also seemed to have weight, swaying slightly with the evening breeze pouring in from the passage.
It was no longer just a fiction of air.
