Chapter 251 Close Your Eyes and Cover Your Ears (Two Chapters in One)
Ryan stopped for a moment and decided to complete the assigned task and rescue Alyosha first.
Because the sound of fighting coming from the passage in front was still a little far away, even if he rushed over, it would probably take a lot of time, and Alyosha was about 20 to 30 meters away.
Not long after Ryan turned right, he found that a large wall made of light blue stone strips appeared in front of him, and an underground hall suddenly appeared in front of him.
This is a real hall!
Unlike the passage, which was newly dug, this hall has existed for a long time and gives people a very ancient feeling.
Since the original cave entrance had collapsed not far away, it seems that this tunnel was dug to connect here.
This hall is built with the light blue strip-shaped boulders that Ryan saw when he walked down the cave before. In addition, there are two rows of Doric-style columns in the center of the hall for support, and the material is also light blue boulders.
In addition, at the far end of the hall, there was a passage that seemed to extend deeper, with sparkling water reflections on both sides.
The sudden appearance of the quaint hall aroused Ryan's curiosity.
So, Ryan slowed down his pace, slowly approached, and took a slight glance.
There were more than 20 white-scaled fishmen of the kind he had just killed in the stone hall, guarding every five steps and ten steps. In addition, there were three blood-cursed nagas stationed here.
What shocked him was that on one side of the hall wall, there were seven or eight hanging cages woven with some tough seaweed, imprisoning human men and women.
These people all had one characteristic, the knight's plate armor or wizard robes on their bodies were broken or damaged, and their expressions were listless.
And Ryan keenly noticed that the young woman with a ponytail on the outermost side was holding a faintly glowing stone in her hand, which was exactly the same communication stone in his hand.
It seems that this person should be the target person, the youngest daughter of Special Envoy Javier - Alyosha.
Alyosha only discovered that the communication stone in her arms was glowing slightly about ten minutes ago. At first, she thought she was dazzled.
Because only when another communication stone is close to her will the one in her arms become brighter.
But how is this possible?
My father is far away in Munster, and he sent someone here so soon?
When she thought that the rescuers sent by her father were about to arrive, Alyosha's originally somewhat sluggish beautiful eyes immediately widened and instantly became energetic!
But soon, she frowned slightly, as if she thought of something, and her expression became worried and uncertain again.
She turned her head slightly and looked at the members of the imperial elite team who were also captured beside her.
"The two closest to me are members of the Cleft-toothed Bear Squad under the Imperial Army's special department 'Earthshaker'. They were captured shortly after me. I chatted with them while the fishmen guards were noisy."
"The three farther away are also members of the 'Earthshaker', but they belong to another team, which seems to be called the Velociraptor Squad. They were captured about an hour later than the Cleft-toothed Bear Squad. They were said to be exploring some altar."
"The other two are even more powerful. They are members of the Imperial Army's special department 'Sword Bearer'. I haven't had time to ask which team they belong to."
"But from the brief conversation between the other party and the Velociraptor Squad members just now, it seems that they are here to rescue the two teams of the Imperial Army."
"So many powerful teams have been defeated here, so even if my father sent someone, can they successfully save us?"
"Goddess of Luck! Please bless me."
When Alyosha thought of this, he suddenly lost his confidence.
And Ryan.
Since he had found the target person, he naturally decided to rescue him immediately. If he delayed too long, there would be more uncertainties.
So, he observed the enemies in the hall again.
Suddenly, he found that one of the three blood-cursed Nagas in the hall was very different.
Just now, he just glanced casually, and the other party's figure was mostly blocked by the stone pillar, so he didn't see it clearly.
This time, the other party walked a distance and changed his position, allowing him to see the other party clearly.
The other party was actually a rare female blood-cursed Naga!
The ancient books clearly introduced that the blood-cursed Naga, like other Nagas, is a matriarchal society, that is, the strength of female blood-cursed Nagas is generally greater than that of male Nagas.
This made Ryan's face slightly condensed, and he carefully observed the other party.
Suddenly, the female blood-cursed Naga turned her head and looked in the direction of Ryan.
Ryan's heart trembled, and he immediately took a step back and dodged into the shadow of the passage when he came.
At this time, the Blood Curse Naga leader Gneis in the underground hall couldn't help but look puzzled. She had just sensed that something seemed to be there.
Just as she was about to send someone to take a look, her pair of snake pupils shrank slightly!
She only saw a marine iguana crawling out of the ground
It turned out to be this little thing
So, Gneis felt relieved and looked away.
The other party's quick reaction surprised Ryan!
This female Naga had a beautiful face. If you don't count the fins standing high around her head, she would not be inferior to the beautiful woman Jennifer.
In addition, the other party actually had four arms. Although from the perspective of the thickness of the arms, they were far less muscular than the male Blood Curse Naga, but they held four different melee weapons, namely a sword, a knife, a short spear and a trident.
Judging from the ease with which he swung the metal weapon in his hand, the opponent should be very strong, but his body features seemed soft.
Ryan thought that judging from the four weapons in his hands, the female blood-cursed naga in front of him should also be a melee naga similar to a knight.
But he didn't expect that the opponent's mental perception was so sharp that he almost discovered him just now.
In other words, this female four-armed naga is not only strong in close combat, but also, as recorded in ancient books, is likely to be born with water magic.
This made Ryan frown!
Because if he wanted to save people, he had to kill the group of sea creatures in the hall. He was sure of the white-scaled fishman and the male blood-cursed naga, and the only uncertainty was the female naga in front of him.
In other words, his current means of dealing with the enemy were not enough.
Without hesitation, Ryan immediately opened the system panel.
Originally, he planned to accumulate 4 skill points plus 2 gold skill points to upgrade the intermediate secret ‘Shockwave’ to the advanced secret.
But now it seems that this step will be slow.
Because the battle in front of him is inevitable and cannot be delayed.
According to ancient records, the ancient blood curse Naga likes to sacrifice the blood of enemies with good strength.
When he goes back to call for help and comes back, it is estimated that Alyosha and the captured colleagues of the empire in front of him have returned to the arms of the goddess.
Coincidentally, the first extraordinary combat skill he entered the knight's path - Giant Bear Swordsmanship, has actually stepped half a foot into the level of understanding the secret.
Ryan is very sure that as long as he uses a little gold skill point now, he can understand the subsequent secrets of the Giant Bear Swordsmanship Secret Skill ‘Roaring Strike’.
And the secret derived from the Giant Bear Swordsmanship Secret Skill ‘Roaring Strike’ also makes Ryan vaguely guess and look forward to it.
Since encountering the Blood Curse Naga, Ryan may not have gained much in other aspects, but his efficiency in obtaining gold skill points is really high.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he has already earned two gold skill points.
Therefore, Ryan did not feel sorry for using it.
In addition, since Ryan already had the experience of comprehending the secret of "Shockwave", he knew that two conditions must be met to perform the secret.
The accumulation of force over the years is the first one, which is to reach the lower limit of the force required to perform the secret, but this one has already been met when Ryan comprehended the secret of "Shockwave".
At this moment, his Bear King Breathing Method has reached lv14, far exceeding this condition.
Therefore, Ryan now only needs to further deepen the perception of the Giant Bear Sword Secret Technique "Roaring Strike", and finally, combine the two extremely exquisitely, so that he can successfully comprehend and perform the subsequent secrets.
With the investment of gold skill points, Ryan seemed to have come to a mysterious space. In an instant, he experienced several years of training in the Giant Bear Sword Art Secret Technique ‘Roaring Strike’.
When Ryan came to his senses, the system prompt came as expected:
[Congratulations, you have comprehended the elementary secret of Giant Bear Sword Art: Roaring War Cry! ]
Secret - Roaring War Cry?
Ryan couldn't help but smile, which was similar to what he had expected before.
After all, the previous Giant Bear Sword Art Secret Technique ‘Roaring Strike’ can be said to be a sound wave attack that is better than a sword attack.
But there is nothing wrong with this.
Perhaps, in this stone hall with many enemies, sonic attacks can achieve more miraculous effects.
Then, the delighted Ryan found a new icon located directly above the Giant Bear Sword Art Secret Technique ‘Roaring Strike’ on the Weapon Master (Legend) panel.
The pattern in the icon is a strong man's head with his hands open and roaring to the sky. Around the wide-open mouth, there are arc lines, which seem to represent the sound wave attack that is rushing outward, looking extremely fierce.
"When it was a secret skill, the icon was a bear head. Now that it has become a secret skill, it has become a strong man's head?"
"This... the system's aesthetics have been improved?"
Ryan was also a little confused for a while, and he couldn't figure out the system's aesthetic standards.
He continued to look down.
There was a line of small words in the lower right corner of the icon:
Roaring War Cry (Primary Secret Skill) Effect: Use a special method of combining the Force with the vocal cords to roar out a strong sound wave attack, attacking and shocking the surrounding enemies.
(Note: The power of Roaring War Cry decreases with distance and is proportional to one's own physical fitness.)
(Note: Roaring War Cry is a secret skill and cannot be upgraded through skill points.)
(To upgrade Roaring War Cry to the intermediate secret skill, the following conditions must be met: 1. Bear King Breathing Technique lv14 or above; 2. Physical fitness 30 points or above; 3. Consume 2 gold skill points.)
Hmm?
Ryan narrowed his eyes and immediately fell into thought.
"This last sentence is very interesting."
No wonder the icon has nothing to do with the giant bear.
The primary secret skill 'Roaring War Cry' is upgraded to the intermediate secret skill, and there is no need to upgrade the giant bear swordsmanship at all!
This seems to indicate that 'Roaring War Cry' has been refined and sublimated into a purer sound wave secret skill.
After understanding this, the smile on Ryan's face suddenly became brighter.
This means that when he performs the Tokkar Hammer Technique, he should be able to perform this new sound wave secret skill 'Roaring War Cry' at the same time!
It doesn't have to be used when using the Glimmering Greatsword.
This is a pleasant surprise!
The key is that after comparing the conditions for upgrading to the intermediate secret, I completely meet them!
"Huh?"
"It takes 2 gold skill points?"
Seeing that it takes 2 gold skill points to upgrade to the intermediate secret, Ryan frowned slightly.
He remembered clearly before that when the hammer secret 'Shock Wave' was upgraded to the intermediate secret, it only required 1 gold skill point, but now, 'Roaring War Cry' requires 2 points.
"Is it that there is a difference between self-understanding and adding points to break through?"
"Or is it that different secrets have different numbers of gold skill points required to upgrade?"
Suddenly, Ryan's mind flashed.
"Could it be that this is related to weapon specialization?"
"Because my hammer specialization is at level 3, and my sword specialization is only at level 1 according to the weapon master's exclusive talent 'Primary Weapon Mastery'. Could it be because of this?"
"But the current sample size is too small to determine."
"2 gold skill points, I just have"
The gold skill points are kept to upgrade the hammer secret 'Shockwave' to a high-level secret?
No.
Ryan shook his head slightly.
In the passage hall, the blood-cursed nagas are the walking 'golden skill points'.
Female blood-cursed nagas look much more difficult to deal with than males.
At this time, it would be stupid to keep the gold skill points.
With a powerful enemy in front of us, we can naturally improve our strength.
So, as Ryan invested 2 gold skill points again.
In an instant, a magnificent training memory about the sound wave secret 'Roaring War Cry' flooded into Ryan's mind.
In his memory, it seemed as if there was another Ryan in the mysterious space, roaring in the vast forest, roaring in the boundless sea, roaring in the vast desert, and even standing on the top of the mountain.
After Ryan came to his senses, he found a system prompt quietly coming:
[Congratulations, you have comprehended the intermediate secret of sound waves: Roaring War Cry! ]
Intermediate Secret!
It's done!
Ryan was very happy!
At the same time, the icon of the intermediate secret 'Roaring War Cry' also changed slightly.
The arc lines roared out of the strong man's mouth became more dense and thicker, which seemed to represent that the power of sound waves became stronger!
The small words at the bottom right of the icon also changed:
Roaring War Cry (Intermediate Secret) Effect: Use a special method of combining the Force with the vocal cords to roar out a blow with super strong sound waves, attacking and shocking the surrounding enemies.
(Note: The power of Roaring War Cry decreases with distance and is proportional to one's own physical fitness.)
(Note: Roaring War Cry is a secret skill and cannot be upgraded through skill points.)
(To upgrade Roaring War Cry to a high-level secret skill, the following conditions must be met: 1. Bear King Breathing Technique lv16 or above; 2. Physical fitness 35 points or above; 3. Consume 3 gold skill points.)
"Does it take 3 gold skill points to upgrade to a high-level secret skill?"
"Sure enough, it is different from the promotion conditions of Shockwave."
At this moment, Ryan's mood is like going hunting and hoping to have a bow, but accidentally getting a gun. Ke took a closer look and found that this gun was actually a six-barreled Gatling gun!
Now, Ryan's gold skill points have been cleared, and there are still 2 ordinary skill points left.
Without thinking too much, Tokkar Hammer is his most powerful means of attack at present, and it is also needed to upgrade the high-level secret skill in the future.
Ryan immediately started to add points to Hammer.
The first point was invested, no problem, and instantly, a large amount of Tokkar Hammer training memories flooded into Ryan's mind.
However, when he invested the second skill point, his face was stunned.
The system prompts as follows:
[Ding! Failed to add points! ]
[Your skill Tokkar Hammer has reached lv15. If you want to continue to improve, you need to use gold skill points! ]
This.
"I see."
"Ordinary skill points can only upgrade skills to lv15, at least, in hammer."
"And the second function of gold skill points has also been discovered, which can be used to upgrade skills after lv15."
"In this case, the last skill point, let's add it to the Bear King Breathing Method." Ryan quickly made a decision.
As the Bear King Breathing Method also entered lv15, Ryan clearly felt that the speed of generating the original force in his body and the total amount of original force had a slight increase.
This is how the breathing method is. The changes to the body are gradually enhanced. It is not achieved overnight, but it is better to accumulate over time.
The points are added!
Just as Ryan was about to step forward, he suddenly stopped and took back his steps.
He broke off a luminous stone from the stone wall beside him and threw it into the air in the hall. At the same time, he shouted in a deep voice:
"Close your eyes!"
Since those present were all elite team members from various special departments of the empire, they reacted to the human voice immediately and showed surprise on their faces!
They knew that someone was coming to rescue them.
So, when they heard clearly that Ryan was asking them to close their eyes, most of them closed their eyes immediately.
At this time, the fishmen and naga were still looking at the slightly glowing luminous stone that was passing quickly above their heads, like a meteor.
Even though he heard Ryan's voice, he was a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether to observe the flying stone or to find the source of the sound.
This made the Blood Curse Naga leader Ggnis speechless and angry.
These stupid guys under his command!
"Idiots! That human is over there, kill him! (Naga language)"
Just as the white-scaled fishmen were about to take action, suddenly, a strong light suddenly lit up at one end of the dim hall. This was the witchcraft "blazing light" cast by Ryan.
The sudden and extremely bright light immediately made these fishmen blind in an instant, and everything they saw was white.
And the two male Blood Curse Nagas and the Naga leader Ggnis couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands to avoid the damage to their eyes caused by the strong light.
The next second, the hall returned to a dim state again.
Although it only lasted for a second, it was enough.
Ryan's goal was to use the witchcraft 'blazing light' to create the effect of a strong light bomb, creating a chance for him to attack.
"Shua shua!" The sound of sword swinging rang out!
The white-scaled fishmen in the hall kept screaming.
The ancient race of blood-cursed Naga had extremely strong physiques. In less than two seconds, their eyes regained their sight again.
Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but get angry. Two male Nagas rushed up immediately, followed by the white-scaled fishmen who rushed towards Ryan from all directions. At this time, the fishmen's vision gradually recovered.
This scene immediately made the seven elite imperial soldiers hanging in the net cage, including Alyosha, worried!
Originally, they thought Ryan was just a pioneer, and there should be one or even several teams of elite imperial soldiers behind him!
But they didn't expect that after a few seconds, Ryan was the only one in the center of the hall.
Obviously, there was no elite imperial team!
The reinforcements were just the boy!
Boy, you are too reckless!
Many people shouted anxiously: "Be careful! The blood cursed Naga is coming!"
"If you can't, retreat quickly!"
"Young man! Go back and report to the Empire quickly. You can't save us alone!"
"."
"Cover your ears!"
It was Ryan who responded to them.
Hearing Ryan say this, the captured elite of the Empire were stunned at first, but quickly did it.
Because two of them didn't listen to Ryan's words last time, and they were crying at this moment!
So this time, when Ryan shouted "Cover your ears" again, they all covered their ears without hesitation.
I saw Ryan's chest bulging like a balloon, and the veins on his neck were bulging, like an angry cobra, with his mouth wide open!
"Roar!!!"
A violent sound wave accompanied by surging airflow swept around like a tsunami!
Suddenly, the group of white-scaled fish people were stunned, and their huge fish faces were severely deformed by the strong wind and shook wildly!
At the same time, the eardrums burst instantly, and the head was buzzing!
All of them kept swinging their weapons in an attacking posture, standing there in a daze!
The next second!
The white-scaled fishmen closest to Ryan, about five or six of them, had their heads exploded directly! The necks of the headless corpses were spurting out tall blue blood columns.
The ones slightly further back had their tops blown open by the sound waves. The huge fish heads were still there, and the bulging big eyes were still cute, but the brains had become a paste, just like a dish in the previous life, "raw monkey brains" - the state of monkey brains with the lids opened.
The white-scaled fishmen further back had dull eyes, and thin blue blood flowed from their nasal cavities and ear holes!
The tridents of the two male blood-cursed nagas that rushed over had already fallen to the ground, and a pair of thick arms were covering the ugly dragon heads, looking extremely painful.
Even the Blood Curse Naga leader Gneis, who was about to cast a spell more than 20 meters away, was interrupted at this moment, and her beautiful face showed pain and anger.
"Plop! Plop!"
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground rang out!
Dozens of white-scaled fishmen, like harvested wheat, formed a large fan shape and fell to the outside in a uniform manner!
And Ryan stood at the top of this fan-shaped area.
Such a powerful force made the big eyes of the ponytail girl Alyosha twinkle, which was even cuter than the fishmen's bubble eyes.
