Chapter 603 Huge Harvest, [Fire God Fruit] and [Lava Heart]
"Boom~"
The sound of the flames rushing in my ears was like a mountain torrent.
Ji Xun pulled Qin Rushi into the space gate and appeared outside the cave, next to Gong Wu who had preset the teleportation coordinates.
Almost at the same time, the flames of the Flame Demon King not far away had burned a huge lava cave with a diameter of 100 meters on the rock wall.
It was as if he had passed by death.
Gong Wu looked at the two people who escaped safely and breathed a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, the moment just now was extremely thrilling. If it was one second later, Ji Xun and Qin Rushi might have been buried in the sea of fire.
Ji Xun also exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
Since they planned to take the risk to explore the cave of the Flame Demon, the three of them were mentally prepared to deal with the risks.
[Flame Demon King Ganur] is a unique elemental creature. No one has ever seen it, so no one knows what abilities it has. Although I didn't expect the monster to be violent, it was not too surprising.
On the contrary, what really surprised Ji Xun was that they escaped intact?
Thinking of this, Ji Xun glanced at Qin Rushi beside him with a relieved look.
When their eyes met, Qin Rushi's face was also full of disbelief.
Because both of them knew very well that they had been affected by the attack of the Flame Demon before they stepped into the space crack.
Even if they could escape, they would definitely be seriously injured.
But now they are unscathed.
The reason is the shield in their hands.
This is a silver round shield.
There is a raised pattern of a Gorgon on the front of the shield. The evil and ferocious face of the Gorgon is lifelike. It doesn't look like a forged pattern, but more like an ancient craftsman who sealed a Gorgon's head in the shield. This also makes this shield have magical effects.
Ji Xun has tested it before, even legendary armor and protective gear will basically turn into molten iron in an instant under the breath of the Flame Demon.
But this [Gorgon Shield] perfectly blocked the previous wave of impact.
Not only was the shield not damaged at all, the metal shield was also icy cold, and under the scorching firelight, it exuded wisps of silver divine light.
This also means that the erosion of the fire law was completely blocked.
This is what surprised Ji Xun and Qin Rushi.
Gong Wu on the side also showed a surprised look, looking at the shield and guessing something, and asked: "The shield recorded on the stone tablet?"
"Yes."
Qin Rushi nodded, and didn't understand how he blocked the shock wave before.
Ji Xun understood.
Because there is an entry of "absolute defense" on this shield.
This entry is actually a kind of "rule power".
In the rule scope of the shield, all attacks can be blocked by the shield.
It was the first time that Ji Xun had seen such a defensive artifact. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he sighed: "This shield can absolutely defend, it is simply a natural counter to this Flame Demon King"
No!
It is not just to restrain the Flame Demon.
Since it can block this elemental attack that is almost the upper limit of the plane, Ji Xun can no longer think of any means below the God level that can break the defense of the shield.
And the moment he saw this shield, Ji Xun's mind flashed with light, and he figured out a lot of things.
This is not a coincidence.
Before, he was a little confused, why did Old Man Xu not take this shield when he saw it more than 100,000 years ago.
Now he understands.
Perhaps Old Man Xu may have foreseen that the [Lava Heart] would become a terrifying monster in the future.
That kind of monster is not something that can be dealt with by those below the God level.
But there is such a divine shield.
Leave it here, for myself who will come to find the Forbidden Ruins Stele in the future, or for other people who are involved in fate, to get rid of this Flame Demon as a safety measure.
The causal line in Ji Xun's mind was connected at once.
If he hadn't seen the record of "Aegis" by Old Man Xu on the stone tablet, he wouldn't have known that there was such a shield in the cave, let alone risking his life to try to explore it.
After all, the Flame Demon is simply impossible to resist.
Not to mention now, even if the three of them have reached the ninth level, they still can't do anything to it.
And getting this shield has brought a turning point.
In Ji Xun's eyes, he saw a causal line that stretched from hundreds of thousands of years ago to the present.
It was also from the time when Old Man Xu left this shield hundreds of thousands of years ago that the Flame Demon's death was actually doomed to happen hundreds of thousands of years later.
Those who have the strength to get this shield are destined to have the opportunity to kill the Flame Demon with this shield.
Ji Xun fell into a very mysterious state.
Since he touched the power of rules, everything in the universe seemed to him to be always following various laws and running non-stop.
This Flame Demon is too powerful. According to the original plan, the three of them should evacuate as soon as they got the shield.
Qin Rushi looked at Ji Xun's slightly dilated pupils, and had long been accustomed to his state of trance when he was always enlightened.
But now was obviously not the time to delay.
At this moment, the Flame Demon King also sensed the three people behind him, and turned around in anger.
Qin Rushi asked anxiously: "Ji Xun, what should we do now?"
She saw that Ji Xun did not leave immediately, and he must have other ideas.
His thoughts were interrupted by these words, and Ji Xun's pupils focused. He looked at the furious Flame Demon King with his eyes narrowed slightly: "I want to try to see if I can kill this Flame Demon."
When these words came out, Qin Rushi and Gong Wu had no doubts at all and responded decisively: "Okay!"
They knew that whatever Ji Xun said must be thoughtful and certain.
The three of them can reach this level now. Which one of them is not a person with extremely strong mind? The challenge of hunting down the Balrog is also a rare opportunity for them!
As soon as the words fell, the three of them pulled away in one direction.
This triangular formation can cooperate with each other to contain the Balrog, which has been discussed before.
In the communicator, Ji Xun told his plan in two words: "Consumption!"
[Fire Demon King Ganul] is very strong.
It was so strong that Ji Xun originally felt that even a few ninth-level helpers would be completely helpless.
That kind of fire attack that kills you on contact, waiting for one more second, is a death-defying act of dancing on a minefield.
However, an Aegis changed the situation.
"Absolute defense" can perfectly block the attack of the Balrog, which is the greatest reliance on survival.
Ji Xun didn't have to worry about calculating every dodge opportunity and distance. He could just bear the taunt and pull and consume.
If something happens, Qin Ru can come to the rescue.
In this way, they were pulling each other back and forth, forcing the Balrog to rage and kill them again and again.
Although Ji Xun had never seen the Fire Demon King before, he could deduce some of its habits as the battle progressed.
Regardless of whether it's a giant dragon or any other creature, any method that can spit out elemental attacks is a "ultimate move" and consumes a lot of money.
Just like the venom of a poisonous snake, although it is deadly, it is not so easy to recover after spitting it out.
Especially "Rage".
Any creature that uses this innate secret technique consumes a huge amount of energy without exception.
As long as the magic power is consumed to a certain limit, the damage of the Fire Law will be greatly reduced, and there may not be no chance of killing.
Ji Xun and the others gradually figured out the attack methods of the Fire Demon King through taunting and dodging again and again.
The three of them cooperated more and more tacitly.
Taking turns to rest and ridicule,
He didn't give the Balrog a chance to rest at all.
But they didn't know that it took them seven days and seven nights to make this consumption plan.
On this day, on a mountain peak dozens of miles away from Silverwind City.
Darcy, Isabel and David were holding telescopes and looking boredly at the mountains that had burned into a red color in the far distance.
The three of them have been waiting for seven days.
They had been hiding dozens of miles away since the war started seven days ago.
It's not that he is timid, but the battle area is now like hell, filled with deadly lava and space cracks.
Not to mention humans, all the nearby monsters within a radius of dozens of miles were scared away by the terrifying movement of the Duoqie Mountains.
The sounds of fighting could be heard from time to time. Through the telescope, the center of the battlefield had long been covered in volcanic smoke and nothing could be seen.
Isabel watched for a while, moved her eyes away from the camera, and asked helplessly: "Teacher, haven't they finished beating yet? Darcy, how long do you think they will continue to beat?"
Darcy, who was meditating on the side, responded: "It should be soon. The roar of the Balrog is obviously much weaker than before. I guess the results will be known in one or two days."
Isabel said again: "But... could Teacher and the others not be able to hold on for a while? After all, the Balrog is a legendary elemental creature, and it can absorb the fire element in its lair."
"I don't know. I guess Teacher and the others are holding on. It just depends on which one of the two parties can't hold on first."
Darcy shook his head and responded.
The pair of eyes that were already full of wisdom also showed a trace of confusion, and he said: "But since Teacher and the others can hold on for so long, they are no longer in danger. Even if they can't be beaten, they can still evacuate."
"oh."
Isabel pursed her lips as she listened.
In the past seven days, the three of them who were watching the show had their eyelids trembling, let alone the three Ji Xun who were in that kind of high-intensity battle.
Such an intensity of attrition war is really beyond the imagination of ordinary humans.
other side.
In a battlefield like a lava world, Ji Xun and the other three were exhausted just as Darcy said, and their faces were all pale, indicating that they had exhausted both their magic power and energy.
And the situation of the Fire Demon King was not much better.
The blazing flames on its surface seven days ago are now like burnt out charcoal fire. Except for the occasional flame, it no longer has the majesty of the previous days.
And it is no longer like before, where it raises its hand and throws fire-type forbidden spells randomly. Nowadays, more attacks are made with body parts, and after a long time of accumulation, one can spit out a mouthful of lava.
This is a sign of depletion of magic power.
As Ji Xun expected, the threat of the Balrog depleted of magic power was greatly reduced.
The attack frequency becomes lower and the movements become sluggish.
But even so, he can still kill an eighth-level card master easily in seconds.
Ji Xun and the other three did not dare to let down their guard at all times.
The current situation is that both sides see who consumes more energy.
Thanks to Ji Xun and the other three, otherwise they would have been unable to hold on if they were other ninth-level people.
Gong Wu is a qigong martial arts saint with an endless supply of mantra power, so he has been able to hold on until now;
Ji Xun is also proficient in the secret method of "Gluttony", and treasures such as [Elemental Rune Stones] can be continuously restored;
Qin Rushi was protected by immortals, and various immortals took turns providing her with spell power.
The most important life-saving tool for the three of them is the [Gorgon's Shield]!
The absolute defense of this aegis is the passive bar.
In other words, there is almost no need to consume magic power. As long as the direction is aligned, you can use this shield to resist fatal threats.
It is precisely because of this shield that the three of them have been able to survive until now without being killed by the Balrog.
But exhaustion is exhaustion, and the rewards are huge.
The Fire Demon King's understanding of the law refreshed the upper limit of the three people's knowledge. The seven days of fighting also allowed them to clearly perceive the height of the ultimate law of the plane.
Once you have seen the scenery from high places, you will understand many things at once.
The life-and-death environment and excellent conditions for enlightenment allowed Ji Xunyou to walk around the Balrog and fall into that rare state of enlightenment from time to time.
In the field of vision, there is a sea of magma and fire everywhere.
Enlightenment keeps coming.
"You realized the high-level fire spell of 'Fire Demon Lord Ganul' during the battle, and your fire element affinity +0.7."
"You were invaded by the fire god's wrath from the 'Fire Demon Lord Ganur' and came into contact with the mystery of the 'divine fire'"
"You are overwhelmed and frightened by the royal power of the 'Fire Demon King Ganur', and your understanding of the law of royal power is enhanced."
"."
Not only him, Qin Rushi and Gong Wu are also talented people, and they also have a deep understanding of this kind of high-intensity battle.
Even if the three of them couldn't help the Balrog in the end, this battle experience was already a huge gain for them.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"."
While he was fighting, Balrog heard another sound in his chest, like a volcano was about to erupt.
Qin Rushi shouted softly almost instinctively: "Be careful, the Balrog is going to spit out lava again!"
Gong Wu in the distance immediately retreated, while Ji Xun, who was too close to the monster and had no time to avoid it, teleported and hid behind Qin Rushi almost as if he was ready to launch.
The next moment, a pillar of magma and fire spurted out, which was blocked by the shield in Qin Rushi's hand.
I don’t remember how many times I blocked lava spewing in the past seven days.
The cooperation between the three of them has long been a tacit understanding.
The Flame Demon King, who had no information before, now has no secrets for Ji Xun and the others.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Its moves, magic, and attack habits were clearly tested by the three of them.
And this is their consumption plan.
Ji Xun was responsible for provoking and seducing him at close range, making the Balrog think he could kill and attack frequently.
After this breath, the flames on the Balrog's body dimmed a lot again.
All three of them knew that Balrog would enter a period of weakness for at least a quarter of an hour.
During this period, it will only attack with its limbs and will not spit out deadly lava.
Seeing this, Ji Xun and the others rushed forward without any hesitation.
As long as the current Balrog does not stick close to the body, the flame erosion near it is no longer fatal.
Gong Wu punched through the air, and his fist hit Balrog's internal organs through the thick lava stone armor;
While Ji Xun was decomposing the fire element, he was also consuming it through various means;
However, elemental creatures are very special. As long as the core is still there, they can be reunited after being scattered; it is like punching the air with very limited damage.
In comparison, Qin Rushi's attack was the most important among the three.
She held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, slashing like the wind.
The sharp sword energy exuding the holy light cut deep ravines on the Balrog's body.
This is none other than the [Holy Sword of Olympus], one of the four sacred weapons of royal power!
Ever since Qin Ru successfully stole the luck of Monliod, the Lord of Military Disasters, and pulled up this huge rebel army, the king's power and fate were increasing day by day.
Her compatibility with this holy sword of royal power is getting higher and higher, and the power she can exert is getting greater and greater.
Although he didn't have time to communicate, Ji Xun could clearly see the changes in Qin Rushi.
In the past seven days, her compatibility with the sword has been visibly much higher than before.
At this moment, she was like a real female war goddess, exuding a heroic and majestic sense of sanctity all over her body.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a sharp "clang" sound.
Qin Rushi probably didn't expect it, so she exclaimed: "The defense is broken!"
Looking closely, the sword energy of the big sword hit Balrog's back, leaving a wound several meters long.
The wound was spurting red magma that looked like blood.
This is the original fire element essence!
Ji Xun was also delighted, "There is a chance!"
In seven days, this was the first time the three of them had truly broken through the defense.
When seeing the health bar, even the strongest creature can foresee the scene of death.
Seeing this, the three men's attacks became fierce at the same time in unison.
Ji Xun and Gong Wu were restrained, and Qin Ruzhi slashed at the wound with clanging sword energy.
This fight lasted another half a day.
There were more and more wounds, and the fire element essence flowing from the Balrog's body had poured out all over the ground.
It was like a monster whose blood had been drained by Fang. No matter how tenacious its vitality was, it was weakening little by little.
The threat is getting lower and lower.
This battle that lasted for seven days finally saw the dawn of victory at this moment.
Finally, while Ji Xun and the three of them were already numb with their output, they suddenly heard a sharp "chi" sound.
Qin Ru was able to seize a fleeting opportunity, descend from a height with the Holy Sword of Royal Power, and pierce the giant head of the demon with one sword.
This is the spiritual convergence point of Balrog.
The auspicious clouds lingered behind her, and the Baiqiu Immortal Family, who had been preparing for a long time, also used the forbidden spirit secret method: "Immortal Technique: God's Dominance!"
When the skull was broken, the soul of the Flame Demon was immediately bound.
The Flame Demon's huge body suddenly stiffened on the spot.
But he was still alive.
Seeing this, Gong Wu shouted: "Ji Xun, take it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he accumulated the last bit of his curse power and punched the Flame Demon's back: "Ba Quan·Empty God Fist!"
With one punch, it seemed as if the entire mountain range trembled.
Gong Wu's strongest punch was thrown, and the Flame Demon's heavy armor broke apart in an instant.
In an instant, Ji Xun clearly sensed the space flaw that appeared on the body. Taking advantage of the moment of breaking the armor, the two cards in his hand lit up instantly, and he stretched out his hand forward: "Magic Power·Empty Hands!"
This is a space stealing technique blessed by two JOKER curse cards.
Ji Xun reached out to touch the space crack, and then touched a hot heart in the heat!
He endured the burning pain and quickly pulled his hand out.
I watched a hot [Lava Heart] being taken out!
[Lava Heart]
Detailed explanation: God-level fire material.
The moment this heart was peeled off from the body of the Flame Demon, the deadly burning heat suddenly became mild.
Ji Xun looked at the heart that had burned his hand through the folded space, and was overjoyed: "It's done!"
It's over.
The heart was taken out, and the Flame Demon's huge body immediately became completely motionless.
The red lava flowing through the cracks in the rock armor also cooled rapidly and turned black.
Seeing this, Gong Wu, who had already lost his strength, collapsed to the side, panting, and a relieved laugh appeared on his old face: "Hahahaha. Finally killed this guy."
"Yeah. It's finally over."
Ji Xun also felt that the nerves in his heart that had been broken for seven days suddenly became empty.
But before he could take a breath, he saw the holy light in front of him.
When he looked closely, he saw Qin Rushi pulling out the King's Holy Sword from the Flame Demon's head, and her aura had also undergone an indescribable change.
At this moment, every time the sword was pulled out from the head, the holy light lingering on her body became more dazzling.
Ji Xun had seen this scene.
This is the manifestation of the King's Law!
When Chujiu ascended the throne, it was also like this, as dazzling as a rising star.
It was visible to the naked eye that Qin Rushi was like the true body of the Valkyrie. Her left hand [Gorgon Shield] was shining, and her right hand [Olympus Greatsword] was shining brightly. The shadow of the demon behind her, Horagos, also temporarily released a brilliant divine light.
At this moment, the divine light and the holy light of the Valkyrie overlapped faintly.
Transcendent into a saint!
"This"
Ji Xun's eyes froze, and he instantly figured out something.
It is not only human emperors who have the fate of kingship, this [Flame Demon King Ganur] also has it!
He is the king of the Flame Demon, the emperor of the fire element!
And the [Olympus Greatsword] is the legendary "Sword of the King Slayer". Qin Rushi killed this Flame Demon King and completed the special promotion ceremony of the King Slayer sequence!
Although Ji Xun did not fully understand why Qin Rushi did this, he could clearly sense that her strength had skyrocketed and she had entered the holy realm; her fate had also skyrocketed and she already had the power of kingship; and her compatibility with the two divine objects, the shield and the sword, had also reached an extremely high level;
In the field of vision, Qin Rushi finally pulled the greatsword out of the Flame Demon's body, and she seemed to sense that she had entered a magical state.
After a moment of experience, she tilted her head and looked at Ji Xun in the holy light, smiling lightly.
However, the three of them were already extremely tired.
There was no time to communicate, and each of them began to meditate and reply.
"You used Feast Devour, Constitution +0.5"
"You used Feast Devour, Understanding of Fire Element Law +12"
"You used Feast Devour, Affinity of Fire Element +0.4"
"."
The three of them sat cross-legged in the lava cave to recover for a long time.
Ji Xun was also absorbing the extraordinary characteristics of the Flame Demon's corpse, and his data rose rapidly.
Suddenly, he heard a distant shout beside his ear.
"Teacher!"
"Teacher, where are you?"
"."
Ji Xun opened his eyes and saw three little guys holding a relic oil lamp that resisted fire magic, all the way from the cliffs that were still hot magma.
It was Darcy and his three friends who came quickly because they were worried about the safety of Ji Xun and the other two.
Because they guessed that this battle might consume too much energy and were afraid that the teachers would have an accident, they also risked coming as soon as the battle ended.
But even if it was a corpse, the remaining pressure and law erosion of the Flame Demon King were not something that three low-level card masters could withstand.
They couldn't get close, so they climbed a mountain from a distance.
They saw the body of the Flame Demon and searched slowly.
Then they saw Ji Xun and the other two who were meditating and resting.
Seeing that the teachers were fine, the three little guys were overjoyed.
Isabel waved her hands excitedly, without caring about her ladylike reserve, and shouted loudly: "Teacher! Master's wife! Senior Gong!"
Ji Xun smiled slightly and signaled them to come over.
The three little guys trotted over excitedly.
"Wow, teacher, you really killed the Flame Demon!"
"It's so exaggerated, I have never seen such a terrifying monster. No, my father hasn't seen it either!"
"Look, there are top-grade [Fire Element Gems] all over the ground. These can't be the blood of the Flame Demon?"
"."
Darcy and the other three looked at the huge corpse of the Fire Demon King and were extremely excited.
They are disciples of Ji Xun and Gong Wu, and of course they are not outsiders.
Pointing around the body, touching here, looking there.
The three guys watched the teachers resting and recovering without disturbing them, and simply collected the extraordinary materials on the ground with great interest.
You must know that this Fire Demon King is almost the most powerful creature under the divine level. It can be said that the materials on the corpse are the best in the plane.
Even the aristocratic lady Isabel's eyes gleamed when she saw it, like a little girl picking mushrooms, happily picking up rubies all over the ground.
Ji Xun looked at the three guys and smiled slightly.
Gong Wu also showed a happy smile on his face.
At this time, Qin Ru looked at Isabel, whose face was full of excitement, and seemed to have thought of something, and said a big surprise: "There is a [Vulcan Fruit] deep in the lava cave. I took the shield away before I'm afraid something might happen and I won't have time to pick it. I can ask your teacher to pick it for you later."
When Isabel heard this, she thought she had heard it wrong. She was stunned for a moment. Surprise bloomed on her face, and she was extremely excited: "Wow, thank you, Master~Thank you, Teacher~"
Qin Rushi's eyebrows moved slightly, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Ji Xun raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, which was not surprising at all.
He had seen the introduction in the classics.
[Vulcan Fruit], the legendary fire-based treasure.
According to legend, it is a spiritual fruit that can grow by absorbing nutrients from the corpse of a god. It is not surprising that it appears here.
As the name suggests, eating it can give humans a Vulcan-like affinity for fire.
Most people can't eat this magical fruit, but it is just right for Isabel's extremely high red dragon bloodline. It is definitely a great opportunity to take her talent to a big level!
Sure enough, big risks are often accompanied by big gains.
For Ji Xun, the [Lava Heart] is also a great help that allows him to reach the peak of transcendence in advance!
