Chapter 511 Wind Burial
In the sky, the pitch-black snake was still fighting a seesaw battle with the shadow behind it.
The snake struggled desperately, and the mountain wall in the sky was constantly cracked, the ground shook, and rocks rolled down.
However, no matter how hard the snake tried, the shadow behind it was like a mad hound, biting the snake's tail and refusing to let go.
From the scene, the shadow was completely unable to cause any harm to the snake, and could only be beaten unilaterally, but the shadow was very cowardly in that it could hide in the shadow at any time, and the snake's attack could only hammer on the mountain wall and could not hurt the shadow itself.
"Shadow fluff ball, you have grown a lot..."
Mu You frowned slightly as he watched the fierce battle in the sky.
The current shadow fluff ball is no longer the level 0 plush pet, but a monster capped at level 30.
Among the abilities fed back by the omniscient crystal, its 'shadow between' has also evolved into 'shadow cage', with stronger sealing and swallowing abilities.
The herbalist's original plan was to use the Shadow Cage to imprison the incarnation of the snake, but he didn't expect the snake to be so fierce that it could open an entrance and escape after being trapped in the Shadow Cage.
Fortunately, after years of devouring, the shadow ball has almost merged with the shadow of the snake skin. Unless the snake is fast enough to shake off its own shadow, it will not be able to escape from the shackles of the shadow ball.
"Is it not overfed?" Mu You looked at the herbalist and asked.
After four thousand years of cultivation, it is not surprising that the shadow ball has risen to level 30. What Mu You is worried about is the re-enactment of the events of the Undead Society.
At that time, the person behind the Undead Society fed the shadow ball too high, causing it to lose control and be turned into a guest by the Shadow God.
"It's okay. After all, it no longer has the soul crystal. At least it can be controlled for now. However, it seems that some self-awareness has gradually emerged. Therefore, it is best to find the remains of the Shadow God as soon as possible and completely subdue it." The herbalist said.
Mu You also nodded. It was indeed time to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible.
"You two, is this the time to talk about this..." The lamp god next to them looked at the two in disbelief.
At this moment in the air, the two giant beasts were still pulling fiercely. The snake struggled with all its strength and easily dragged the shadow ball behind it to wander around, but no matter how far it wandered, it could never escape the range of light. As long as it approached the edge of the light shield, the shadow ball seemed to be nailed to death and could not move at all. The boundary between light and darkness was like an invisible wall, completely blocking the snake's way.
Countless dark cave beasts were affected by their battle, fell from high altitude, smashed to death on the ground, and the ground was immediately occupied by a large amount of floating black powder.
After struggling for several minutes, I don’t know if it saw that it was impossible to get rid of the ghost thing behind it, the snake suddenly turned around and rushed down.
"Be careful, this guy is probably going to jump off the wall!" The lamp god hurriedly reminded.
While he was talking, the snake had already landed at a high speed, but the landing point was not its body, but it was heading straight for Mu You, or more accurately, for his right hand.
"Its target is the Qilin Arm!" The lamp god was shocked.
As long as this incarnation of the snake escapes and recovers its strength to a certain extent, it can come back and pull out the sealed spear. This was its original plan.
However, it was caught in public when it escaped from prison, and everyone obviously would not give it a chance to grow up. With its way blocked, the Qilin Arm became its only hope.
As long as it could snatch the Qilin Arm from Mu You, even now, it could easily lift the holy spear and remove the seal.
The lamp god knew very well that the current black snake incarnation was undoubtedly the weakest state of the snake in history. They might still be able to deal with it, but once the body of the snake was unsealed, it would be all over. The snake had the ability to kill everyone present instantly!
"Stop it!" the lamp god shouted.
Without his reminder, Mu You and the herbalist had already started the attack at the first time, throwing out all the most convenient magic at hand.
The bone dragon and scorpion lion in front also started to attack at the same time. The bone dragon sprayed out a mouthful of poisonous mist and then entangled itself, while the scorpion lion summoned several hurricane tornadoes on the spot.
However, all the attacks failed to work. The poisonous mist of the bone dragon and the tornado of the scorpion lion were perfectly blocked by the scales of the snake, causing no damage. Mu You and the herbalist's magic could not even get close to it and disappeared directly in mid-air.
In the end, the bone dragon and the scorpion lion entangled the snake in close combat, which slowed down its approach.
"Don't use magic, it's useless! The scales of the snake have extremely high defense. You must use magic to attack, and it must be a high-damage magic to break the defense!" The lamp god reminded.
Mu You was helpless after hearing this. He also wanted to use magic, but unfortunately the order system was not a system that focused on attack. Among the magic he currently mastered, the strongest killer move was the order judgment, but the order judgment required a full fifty layers of order locks. How could he have time to give him layer by layer of armor now?
Divine arts cannot be used. In the current situation, there seems to be only one thing that can work.
"Wind Burial Cannon?"
"Wind Burial Cannon... should work." The Lamp God pondered for a second and nodded.
Wind Burial Cannon is the ultimate move of the Qilin Arm. The Wind Qilin is a divine beast known for its cutting ability. In theory, it should be no problem to cut through the snake scales' defense.
Of course, the premise is that it must hit the target.
At this moment, the bone dragon and the scorpion lion were fighting with the snake in front. They were naturally no match for the snake. After all, they couldn't even break the defense. Fortunately, they didn't need to defeat the snake now, but just delay it. The two beasts worked together, and the shadow ball behind them also took the opportunity to devour the black snake.
With the joint efforts of the three, the snake was finally temporarily blocked in place.
Mu You didn't dare to waste time. He seized this opportunity and hurriedly raised his right arm, summoned the Qilin arm, and activated the wind burial cannon.
With a low humming sound, the front of the Qilin's five claws, the rich wind element suddenly began to gather, and soon condensed into a materialized transparent light ball, which was full of extremely concentrated wind energy.
At this time, the bone dragon and the scorpion lion felt the sense of crisis from behind, and they shuddered instinctively. They had realized what Mu You wanted to do, and hurriedly accelerated to entangle the snake, trying not to let it run out of the range of the wind burial cannon.
Unfortunately, the pre-swing of the wind burial cannon was much longer than expected. The light ball grew slowly. It would take at least ten seconds to charge to its maximum power.
Mu You frowned while charging, and hurriedly stopped supplying energy. With this pause, the light ball in front of the Qilin arm also dissipated quickly.
"What's wrong?" The lamp god was stunned. Why did he suddenly cancel the attack at such a critical moment?
"No, I can't hit it!" Mu You sighed.
In fact, he had already retraced his steps once. Before the retracing, the wind burial cannon was successfully fired, but it was forcibly dodged by the snake at the last moment.
They all underestimated the power of the snake. The bone dragon and the scorpion lion alone were obviously not enough to suppress the snake.
However, this also indirectly proved that the wind burial cannon could indeed threaten the snake, otherwise it would not have to hide so desperately.
"You come!"
Mu You "unloaded" the bionic circuit on his arm on the spot, and threw this floating circuit like thin paper to the herbalist behind.
"Roar!"
When the snake in the distance saw the floating circuit in the air, it roared loudly, just like a hungry wolf seeing meat, and struggled more violently. Almost instantly, it broke free from the joint suppression of the bone dragon and the scorpion lion, and dragged the shadow behind it, rushing towards the direction of the circuit.
However, just halfway up, the snake's head was hit by a giant's fist and pressed into the ground.
Mu You controlled the divine skin to stop the snake in time, and the scorpion lion and the bone dragon behind hurriedly chased and entangled the snake again.
With Mu You's participation, the pressure on the scorpion lion and the bone dragon was suddenly reduced. The three giants plus the shadow ball worked together to restrain the snake, and finally completely killed it on the spot. No matter how it roared and struggled, it could no longer break free from the suppression of the three.
On the other side, the herbalist also caught the parasitic circuit in the first time and quickly installed it on his right arm.
It takes several hours to fuse this thing for the first time, but it is much easier to wear it afterwards. It can be removed and put on at any time. This kind of wear is directly connected to the soul level, and the clone and Mu You are of the same origin and do not need to be re-fused.
Even so, after the herbalist took it, it still took about a minute to complete the fusion of the parasitic circuit. Then he summoned the Qilin arm without stopping, aiming at the snake in front of him, and the transparent light ball began to condense again in front of his arm.
"Woo..."
Looking at the wind burial cannon that was brightening quickly, and being suppressed here by four people, the snake seemed to have a premonition that something was wrong, and roared repeatedly in his throat, and even had a hint of pleading in his roar.
Unfortunately, at this important moment, Mu You would not be soft-hearted and continued to suppress the snake with all his strength.
The wind ball in front of the Qilin arm grew rapidly, and within a few seconds it spread into a huge light ball that was as high as a person, and finally fired with a buzzing sound.
The Wind Burial Cannon flew through space at high speed, just as its name suggests, tearing apart everything along the way and rushing straight towards the snake.
Just as the light ball was about to hit, the snake suddenly screamed, its eyes turned extremely red, and the whole snake burst out a strange force from nowhere, and actually forcibly lifted the three people on its body away.
The snake that temporarily broke free from its restraints had no time to fight back, because the wind burial cannon was already close at hand.
At the critical moment, the snake only had time to fall to the right, and urgently moved its head to the side, finally allowing the most important head to escape the attack range of the wind burial cannon.
However, the snake body behind it was powerless, and was firmly covered by the wind burial cannon. The moment the light ball hit, the extremely dense wind blades burst out, instantly tearing all tangible substances in the range into dust.
After a few seconds, the light dissipated, and a vacuum zone visible to the naked eye formed along the road.
As for the black snake, only a snake head was left at this time. A large amount of black blood was gushing out from the broken neck, and the snake body, tail and scales behind it had all disappeared completely.
The snake seemed to feel no pain. The snake head immediately flew up and wriggled in the air to become a complete snake body again, but the body length was several times smaller than before.
Even more fortunately, because of the attack of the wind burial cannon, the connection between it and the shadow was finally cut off, and now there was no obstacle in front of it.
The pocket-sized black snake flew straight towards the herbalist in front with hatred and greedy eyes.
"Be careful!"
Unfortunately, the price of the wind burial cannon's huge power is that it will drain the energy in the user's body when firing. The weakness and dizziness caused by the energy vacuum are not so easy to eliminate. After firing the wind burial cannon, the user will almost inevitably fall into a weak state for a period of time.
This is what happened to the herbalist at the moment. Seeing the snake rushing towards him, he wanted to escape, but found that his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up at all. He could only move to the side with both hands.
"Give it to me!"
The snake's roar suddenly sounded in the herbalist's mind. The next moment, the snake's head suddenly accelerated and rushed to the side of the herbalist in an instant.
The herbalist subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, but the snake took advantage of the situation and bit his right arm, including the unicorn arm, and tore it off in one bite.
"I got it! I can finally be free! Hahaha..."
Feeling the unicorn arm hidden in his body, the snake was ecstatic. This kind of rich wind energy couldn't be fake. It was definitely the wind unicorn arm!
With this, the little bugs that couldn't break his defense would no longer be a threat. Whether it escaped upwards into the darkness or found an opportunity to directly release the body, it was up to it.
"It's too early to be happy, isn't it?"
A cold voice suddenly sounded, and the snake's laughter stopped abruptly. Looking down, he found that the broken-armed boy lying on the ground did not have any pain on his face, but looked at him with a sneer.
The herbalist suddenly jumped up from the ground and quickly dodged to the side as if nothing had happened.
"Hmm?"
The snake immediately felt something was wrong and turned his head subconsciously.
What greeted it was a familiar ball of light, which was already close, almost sticking to its face.
The next moment, in the black snake's unbelievable eyes, the light of the wind burial cannon engulfed it again.
This time it was completely submerged, and the remaining part of the black snake's body was also torn into dust in the wind blade, and a vacuum corridor of nearly 100 meters was opened up backwards, and the power of the wind burial cannon was completely released.
"This...impossible..."
At the original place, after the dust dissipated, only a faint black smoke remained, floating in the air. In the rolling black smoke, a snake shape was faintly present inside.
This is the consciousness of the snake. The snake's body dissipated, but the consciousness remained. However, if it does not return to the main body or a suitable carrier as soon as possible, this consciousness will soon disappear.
At this moment, the snake has no time to care about its own safety. Its two snake pupils stared at Mu You in front of it: "Why, why can you still..."
It couldn't understand why there were two wind burial cannons? Did there have been two Qilin arms from the beginning?
Mu You glanced at the consciousness in the air, did not speak, leaned over to pick up the parasitic circuit that fell on the ground, brushed off the dust on it, and reassembled it on his right arm.
The wind burial cannon was originally an attack fired by the Qilin arm, so it naturally would not damage the Qilin arm itself.
As for why he could fire the second wind burial cannon, it was not because there was a second Qilin arm, but because of an order magic called "ring hole".
This is the eighth divine art of the Order Department, second only to Order Judgment in terms of level. Its effect is to collect an oncoming attack into the ‘void’. The collected attack will flow in the circular void without stopping until he opens the entrance of the void again and releases the attack.
This move was used before when fighting the giant, storing the attack of the light cannon giant, and later helped him kill the shield giant in seconds. This move is one of the most powerful divine arts of the Order Department, which is a pity that the cooldown is too long and can only be used once every three days.
Just now, after discovering that the first shot of the Wind Burial Cannon failed to completely hit the snake, Mu You went back in time and rushed to the path of the Wind Burial Cannon in advance, collected the remaining energy of the Wind Burial Cannon, and took advantage of the snake's carelessness when it got the Qilin Arm, touched behind it, and fired the second shot close to it.
