Chapter 412 Deduction
Jilan actually discovered very early that although demons exist in the God's Land, they are not considered as one of the residents of the God's Land.
After killing them, the "mottled aura" will not increase.
Although the specific reason is not clear, this is good news for Gilan.
Because in this way, he can hunt demons recklessly without worrying about affecting his future promotion.
"Master, it's just ahead."
At this time, Weiwei, who was leading the way in mid-air, turned around and pointed to a small hill in front and said.
Gilan nodded, used the Laughing Staff as a crutch, and stepped onto the loose soil hillside.
After crossing the hill, he saw a spacious basin below.
There, there were dozens or hundreds of red-skinned demons of different sizes and hideous appearances. They were attacking each other and fighting in a melee.
The powerful roar, the arrogant laughter, and the dull sound of claws tearing through the body and heavy fists smashing bones were intertwined.
Dark red hot blood splashed, fell on the red soil and ignited flames, emitting sulfur smoke with a pungent smell.
Jilan noticed that there was a leader in the dominant party. He was about two meters thirty-four meters tall, with a burly body, and hard white exoskeleton covering his shoulders, chest, elbows and knees, like armor.
Moreover, this devil had a pair of scimitar-like horns on his head, and wide black bat wings behind him folded together, hanging like a cloak.
It was obviously the viscount-level noble lord that Weiwei sensed, and the momentum it exuded was completely different from the devil around him.
Jilan observed silently for a few seconds and had a bottom line in his heart.
‘The strength of this devil lord is stronger than Weiwei, about the range of "Second Ring Viscount" to "Third Ring Viscount", equivalent to the level of an ordinary 4th-level Jiushi. ’
But this is not enough in front of him.
“Weiwei, don’t let those scum run away.”
Jilan said lightly.
The little familiar was startled at first, but then he quickly agreed.
Jilan held his hat with one hand and held his cane with the other, and jumped up and quickly fell from the top of the hill.
Weiwei followed closely behind him, flapping her bat wings vigorously.
The devil lord, who was watching the battle with his elbows folded below and looked interested, suddenly frowned, as if he had noticed something, and hurriedly turned his head to look.
I saw a human in black clothes, leading a female devil, jumping down from the hill and rushing straight towards me.
"Soldiers! There are humans coming!"
The devil lord had a grim face, raised his hand, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Kill him!"
As soon as the order was issued, the seven or eight sturdy demons standing beside him immediately took action and rushed forward without fear of death.
Jilan had a blank expression on his face, and his hand shook, and the gray cane instantly changed shape, turning into a flower basket cross sword shape with a click.
The pattern on the sword glowed green, emitting extreme heat and flames.
"Silver Plate." He said indifferently.
Swish——
Jilan swung his sword at the group of demons that were rushing in, and performed a killing move of "Universe Sword·Galaxy".
"Silver Plate" is a high-level sword skill that evolved from the original "Trace of Meteors" in the Star Chapter, and its lethality and range are greater. The sword body disappeared briefly, turning into an arc-shaped sword light composed of starlight dots, passing through the bodies of the demons.
Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi!!
This group of demons still maintained a ferocious appearance of waving fists and raising claws, but the next second, accompanied by the sudden appearance of silver light, they all exploded into a ball of blood mist and turned into fragments on the ground.
Their corpses began to spontaneously combust.
Without stopping, Jilan passed through clusters of flames, passed by blurry afterimages, and came to the front of the demon lord.
The latter's face suddenly changed.
It turned out that the strength of this human was far beyond its expectations.
At this moment, it knew that there was no chance to retreat, and it had to fight the enemy in person.
"Die!" The devil lord shouted, raised his hand and punched Jilan's forehead.
The moment his fist was swung, it was covered with dense and thick black scales, and a layer of orange-red flames was attached.
This was obviously an advanced application of the "Snake Scale Curse" and the "Flame Curse", combining the two into one.
The fist wind was hot and whistling.
Jilan did not dodge or avoid, without blinking, raised his hand and swung the cross sword into a sword flower.
"Silver Crown." He uttered ancient Heru language.
Swoosh! !
The sword body disappeared again.
Silver light spots burst out and spread into a spiral, which actually wrapped around the devil lord's heavy fist.
Then it twisted!
There was only a crackling sound.
"Ah!" The devil lord cried out in pain, covering the bleeding broken arm, and retreated several steps.
Its proud physique and spells were completely ineffective under the sword of this human being and were easily countered.
Jilan's cold eyes reflected in its mind, and the next second, the golden and red hair brushed across the side of its cheek.
"Silver Halo." An indifferent voice came.
Squeak, squeak, squeak! !
The silver sword light flashed at a high frequency, like thunder.
Countless light spots surrounded the devil lord, and then stretched into a straight line, as if it was shrunk in an instant with its center.
In an instant, the dazzling silver light continued.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" The devil lord screamed miserably.
It was like a hedgehog, pierced by countless silver sword lights, and instantly knelt on the ground, unable to move.
This move "Silver Halo" is the advanced "Star·Suppressing Star Track" used to defeat the enemy.
After being hit by this sword skill, the devil lord has lost his combat effectiveness and has become a fish on the table, allowing Jilan to slaughter him.
The demons who were originally fighting around him all stopped when they saw this. The demons under the lord howled like crazy, trying to rush over to rescue him, while the other demons who had been attacked fled in all directions.
"The master said, you can't leave!"
At this time, Weiwei flew into the air, raised her hands, and cast the "Confusion Curse" and "Hate Curse".
The demons turned around uncontrollably and fought together again.
Gilan ignored the chaos around him. He knelt down next to the seriously injured Devil Lord and pressed one hand to the ground.
"Solution!" he whispered.
Crack!
Silver arcs jumped out of his palms and spread around. Soon, a silver alchemy array composed of circles, triangles and various line symbols appeared under the devil lord.
"No, no..." The devil lord suddenly realized something. He vomited blood and begged for mercy in ancient Xilu language: "Master Wizard, please spare me. I am willing to tell you my real name and serve you like the female noble." Serve!"
Jilan raised his eyes slightly, looked at the devil lord, then grinned and said:
"Weiwei is enough."
The devil lord's expression froze.
The next second.
Bang!
Its body suddenly stiffened in a kneeling position, and then exploded into countless sparkling dust with a crisp sound.
The dust was flying all over the sky, creating a bright and gorgeous halo under the dim sky.
Jilan's eyes narrowed.
With a snap, he clasped his hands together.
"Refining!" He said again.
Wow——
The powder flying all over the sky gathered into a stream, and all flowed into Jilan's palm.
Soon, a colorful glass ball the size of a finger was condensed.
This is a piece of soul material that Jilan used the "Secret Pattern of the Sage" to perform alchemy to refine the devil lord.
It retains the power of its soul during life, which is enough to serve as the main material for refining the "Philosopher's Stone".
'But this is not enough...'
Ji Lan put the glass ball in his bag and said secretly.
Due to lack of energy, the alchemy he just performed used the points in the "Beautiful" reserve and consumed a full 200 points of energy.
This made him quite distressed.
At present, there is an urgent shortage of points in all aspects. If it were not for the huge role of the "Philosopher's Stone", Jilan would be reluctant to spend points to perform alchemy.
'But... fortunately, there are still a lot of prey here, which must be able to provide me with considerable points, right? ’
Jilan turned to look at the chaotic battle situation and smiled.
Weiwei is constantly looking for opportunities to take action on the battlefield, hunting down those demons who have lost their minds after being cursed.
Jilan swung the flower basket cross sword, put it sideways, and walked over.
…
…
With almost no effort, Jilan slaughtered all the dozens of devils.
The "sand of evil" left over from the devil's spontaneous combustion after his death was collected by Weiwei on his behalf and piled up into a thick pile.
Jilan separated one third of it and stored it in bottles for subsequent feeding to Weiwei so that she could have a stable food intake, which could effectively improve her rank and strength.
The finger-sized potion bottle was filled with more than twenty bottles, enough for it to last for a while.
Seeing this, Weiwei was very excited.
It flapped its little bat wings, flew to Jilan's shoulder and kept circling, cheering playfully:
"Master is so kind to Weiwei! Thank you master!"
As he said that, he couldn't help but give her a sweet kiss.
Until Jilan grabbed his thin waist with two fingers and threw him aside.
"Don't worry, the hunting has just begun, we will still be hunting in this area for a while."
Gilan said without raising his head, continuing to handle the remaining "sand of evil" in his hands.
Of course it's not enough to hunt just one Devil Lord, otherwise the "Philosopher's Stone" wouldn't be so rare.
He raised his hands and covered the pile of "sand of evil" in front of him, and then used alchemy to decompose them all.
Accompanied by the sizzling sound of silver arc.
This pile of fine black sand suddenly turned into worthless dust and scattered in all directions.
The color number in the corner of Jilan's eyes also jumped several times, soaring to "1412".
He nodded with satisfaction.
After standing up, he ordered his little familiar:
"Weiwei, continue to sense the devil's breath and look for the next prey."
"Yes! Master!" Weiwei tasted the sweetness and was full of energy, so she quickly agreed.
It first flew into the air, closed its eyes and raised its head, feeling the breath, then pointed in a direction and led the way.
Gilan followed silently, heading deeper into the gray wasteland.
…
…
Time passed so quietly.
In the outside reality, three full days have passed.
But in the dream, Gilan stayed for four days. In the process, he figured out a pattern.
It seems that the flow of time in the world and in dreams is not consistent.
He recalled the five hours 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 missing on the giant clock in the central tower of Miss Torina's Castle Black.
In other words, a day in a dream only has 19 hours.
Gillan thought of another thing.
In this world, darkness always seems to come very quickly. At three o'clock in the afternoon, it is almost dark.
This phenomenon troubled him for a long time. Now that I think about it, most of it has something to do with timing in dreams.
Because after 15 o'clock, it will jump directly to 21 o'clock.
Reflected in reality, doesn't it mean that it gets dark at three o'clock in the afternoon...
‘Where did the missing five hours go? ’
With such a question in mind, Ji Lan went through the occult knowledge he had in his mind.
In the end, he really found a blind spot.
That is the old god "Si Sui".
While studying with his teacher Parra, Gilan once learned of an ancient legend in a casual conversation.
According to legend, in the Dust Age before dawn BC, the timekeeping at that time was not accurate.
The ancient Xilu people simply divided the year into four seasons, but did not create a calendar, so there were no months and weeks, let alone an accurate time on a day.
It was during that period that the Four Great Si Sui appeared in the records of human civilization.
They not only represent the four seasons, but also represent the four time periods of the day.
They are morning, noon, evening and night.
Paracelsus jokingly told Gilan at that time that Si Sui played the role of Si Chen today in the earliest stages of human civilization to a certain extent.
After all, the twelve celestial beings not only symbolize the twelve months and twelve stars, but also the twelve hours of the day.
According to this ancient saying.
The first year of the year "scar father" is noon, the five hours from 11 to 15;
The second year of "Fan Mu" is morning, the five hours from 6 to 10;
The third year of "Miss Tears" is late, exactly between 16 and 20 hours;
The fourth division year "Mr. Pearl" is night, which is the nine hours from 21 to 5 o'clock;
Why the moon god spends the most time in charge is unknown. Even Paracelsus could not come up with a definite statement.
But he guessed that this might be related to the authority of the Moon God.
‘Because Alice, the goddess of love, Miss Tears, died in the third year of life, were these five hours lost in the dream? ’
Gillan couldn't help but guess.
He always felt that there was some unknown secret hidden in it, but now he was unable to explore it.
During the four days in the dream, Jilan and Weiwei wandered in the transition zone at the entrance of the "Corridor", which is also the "limbo", constantly hunting for devils.
The harvest is also huge.
Gillan successfully hunted five more devil lords one after another, all of whom were first-level Baron Viscount.
As for ordinary devils, hunt hundreds of them.
Excluding the points consumed by using alchemy, he has accumulated a total of about 3,000 points of mysterious energy.
This made Gillan quite happy.
On this day, he took Weiwei to sit on a huge red rock in the wilderness and take a rest.
"Master, Weiwei can't sense the auras of other devils for the time being... I'm afraid they can't be found in this area."
Weiwei lay tiredly on his shoulder and said feebly.
The continuous hunting in the past few days has made the little familiar very tired.
"Maybe we made too much noise and aroused the vigilance of those devils, so they all ran away."
Gilan shook his head and said softly.
"Forget it, let's stop here for this hunting. Weiwei, you can go back to the ring and rest."
"Yes, Master." Weiwei nodded her little head and immediately slipped into Jilan's sapphire ring.
Ji Lan took a long breath, and then secretly said in his heart:
‘Beautiful, deducing the player’s path to level 5 essence! ’
