Demon Lord

Chapter 375 Strange Spell

Akasha looked worse than during the day, and Rody asked with some uncertainty: "Can't sleep?"

Such questions often have ambiguous emotions, but Rody obviously has no ambiguous thoughts at this time—Akasha’s emotions are not quite right when he is in the ruins during the day, and at night, this little girl who almost lost her life in the ruins The pastor is afraid that the psychological pressure will be even greater.

"Um...I, I—" Akasha lowered her head and replied, "Can I sleep next to your tent? This way...you can feel at ease."

This request made Rody a little surprised. He wanted to refuse, but he swallowed the words. Rubbing between his brows, Roddy then asked, "Are you scared?"

Akasha nodded flusteredly, and the hand holding the bed tightened.

"Why didn't you find someone else? Didn't you ask Nata?"

This question made Akasha bite her lip. She said something in a low voice, but it was completely lip language. Even if Rody turned on "Ambient Sensitive", he couldn't hear it. He frowned: "...you said What?"

"I...I just want to be by your side..."

Akasha murmured like a mosquito, her cheeks turned red from the embers of the bonfire, "Because you are different from them..."

Rody thought about it, from getting to know Akasha to saving her life twice in a row, every time she wakes up in a crisis, the first thing she sees is herself, maybe this makes her feel a certain sense of dependence?

Luo Di knew very well that the little pastor in front of her was definitely not suffering from "princess disease": she was afraid of heights, the dark, and even had difficulty falling asleep in the forest at night. These psychological pressures that ordinary people did not have were all caused by her previous experiences. From the perspective of modern people, Roddy would not find these psychological defects ridiculous.

On the contrary...he was very understanding.

So Roddy sighed: "You can just sleep in the tent, I'll be fine outside."

"But-"

"There is nothing but, go to sleep, this is an order."

Akasha was choked by Roddy's words, struggled a few times, and finally compromised, hugging her own bed and entering Roddy's tent.

When the psychological pressure is approaching the critical point, people tend to do things that they would never do at all—and when Akasha lay on the uncomfortable bed and felt that the depression around her had all dissipated, she kept The tense body and brain finally calmed down...

Then, Akasha finally realized what she had just done.

People who act impulsively will regret it later - Akasha is no exception, she almost felt ashamed all over her body burning up...

How could a fool lose control of everything when he panicked? How could he open his mouth to make such a request to Luo Di?

What would he think? Do you think I'm seducing him?

Akasha can't wait to find a crack in the ground to sneak in: As a "follower", but drove her "master" out of the tent, how can I say this is too much for me?

And what will others think when they see it?

"Luo, Luodi...are you asleep?"

After hesitating again and again, she sat up and tentatively spoke to the outside of the tent.

"explain."

"My head was a little messed up just now, so I didn't do it on purpose..."

How stupid, can't I come up with a better excuse?

Akasha complained to herself weakly, but after a long time, she didn't hear Rody's response.

She put her heart into her throat, for fear that Rody would scold her in the future—but then, Rody's slightly calm answer came from outside the tent:

"If it were me in the past, maybe when you said the first sentence, you would think that what you did was excessive, unreasonable, and even malicious..."

"But now, it won't be like that."

Roddy sighed: "I believe you are really afraid, and I believe you have no other purpose, but just want to calm down, right?

Akasha sat in the tent blankly, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"I'm sure you're not joking, so... get some rest."

"…Um."

Akasha's response became more choked up. For a moment, she wanted to say a lot, but in the end she just said "Thank you" in a low voice with red eyes, and fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind.

Mutual understanding, mutual tolerance.

Rody, who was outside the tent, rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and could only sigh inwardly for this sentence...

Now that I understand this truth, what is the use?

June 1st.

In the early morning, whispering to the east of the forest.

In the ruins belonging to the high elves, the ruins that had been quiet for more than seven hundred years suddenly heard rumbling muffled noises—beside the ruins, dozens of "steel-backed wild boars" with a stature like a hill broke the small tree in front of them , rushed straight to the intruders who entered their territory.

Although the wild boar sounds like a "pig", in the forest, it is far more dangerous than most other beasts... The defense of the steel-backed wild boar is comparable to plate armor, even if it is cut from the front by an ax, it is difficult to be injured, while the group of wild boars The wild boar is even more dangerous than the "Bone Armor Giant Elephant".

This kind of momentum is far more frightening than a pack of wolves, but just as they were about to approach the intruders in front of them, a dazzling blue light suddenly flashed, and the subsequent explosion sounded, startling countless birds...

"boom"

The wild boar at the front flew up in mid-air, and its whole body was turned into countless pieces of flesh and blood. The spreading shock wave completely blew away the whole herd of wild boars. Their strong bodies couldn't bear the shock at all. Most of the wild boars were instantly shattered and died of bleeding from their mouths and noses...

And those wild boars who fell on the ground and tried to get up hadn't taken a few steps, but were directly knocked down by several rays of light that followed - the violent movement lasted less than half a minute, and the battle had not yet "started". The time is completely "over".

The "Holy Congregation" team slowly stepped into the ruins, and the four arcanists cleared away the fragments of the wild boar corpse, and then cleared the way for Lucius who was standing behind. The silver-haired elder of the congregation walked slowly through the blood-soaked ruins, stopped in his footsteps, and raised his scepter:

"Dragon tracking."

This skill specially used to lock the dragon's breath is far beyond the grasp of ordinary arcanists. Only Lucius, as an elder, is qualified to learn such a tracking technique from the core level of the "Holy Council".

At this time, as he cast spells, rhythmic elements appeared faintly in the air, and finally an arrow with complicated patterns condensed on the ground under his feet...

"The location is confirmed."

Lucius breathed a sigh of relief: "The guy we're going to face is nearby...it—"

Before he finished speaking, Lucius found that the pattern condensed by the tracking technique suddenly became disordered, and the original clear direction gradually disappeared. Before dissipating, Lucius found that it seemed to be faintly twisted in another direction a little...

Such a thing was unheard of, and Lucius immediately cast "Dragon Tracking" again, but this time there was no abnormality - the pattern on the ground was clear and stable until it disappeared.

Lucius has no way to confirm why this problem occurs. Although he is a high-level arcanist, the level range of the skill "Dragon Tracking" is really beyond the current "Holy Council" research on "arcane" At the highest level, and because of this, Lucius completely "knows what it is but doesn't know why" about it—he will release it, but he doesn't understand the principle at all, so that he has no idea what this situation means at this time.

However, in order to ensure the correctness of the skills, he still released the "Giant Dragon Tracking" seven times in a row, and the results of these skills were the same as the second time, so he finally no longer doubted the correctness of the direction he was going, and ordered: " Go ahead and get ready for battle"

Time continued to pass, and on June 10th, there were no more harvesting teams in the forest, and Roddy finally felt unprecedented pressure

There are only a few days left before the countdown given by Camilla, but Roddy has only found 93 crystals so far—except for the first ruins planned, the second and third sites that arrived later The ruins... didn't even find half a spar.

In other words, the remaining two hundred pieces of rechargeable crystals needed can only be hoped for in the last two ruins.

At this time, the team was already close to the second-to-last goal in the plan, but in Rody's mind, he still recalled the "tragic" scene in the two ruins before: Camilla once said that the high elves would use spar to explode Two days ago, Roddy did understand the true power of the spar after it exploded

In the ruins found by the team, all the stone buildings have almost disappeared, and the fragments are arranged radially from the inside to the outside. Many stones have even turned into glassy crystals due to high temperature. These scenes remind Rody. When it comes to the "nuclear bomb test explosion" scene.

The oppression of the time limit made Rody feel more irritable, and his complexion became worse and worse, so that Akasha, who was always behind him, was secretly blaming herself for disturbing Rody's sleep.

"The combat team is speeding up, and the engineering team is ready to respond."

It's not that Rody didn't sleep well, he just felt that his team was still moving too slowly, so at this time Yu Jian separated the main combat team from the rear - his heart was a little nervous at this time, it was like It's a gamble, and what Rody hates the most is to entrust his fate to the "unknown".

But a few minutes later, Rody finally confirmed that he was lucky: the team had just entered the range of the ruins, and the soldiers in front sent good news: a large number of crystals were found in the basement of the center

"Confirm Quantity Now"

Rody's heartbeat quickened a bit. He glanced back at Nokia who had been following the team not far away, waved his hand to signal it to follow him into the ruins, and then said to Suo Deluoer who picked up the shield not far away: "Pay attention to the building structure when entering. , be careful of landslides"

"clear"

Knowing that Rody was in a hurry, Suo Deluoer turned his head and shouted to the team behind him: "The first and second teams will follow me and search in a fan shape. The reconnaissance team will light the torches."

He led the team into the underground area from the north of the ruins, and Rody didn't follow in immediately, but out of caution, he carefully searched for every item left here around the ruins.

[The first update, the second update began to be written, and it is estimated that it will be updated in the early morning. 】
