Chapter 202: alchemical principle of equivalent exchange
Chapter 202 Alchemical Principle of Equivalent Exchange
In an instant.
Several big pirates and their followers got into a melee with the apostles.
The most eye-catching thing in this scene is not the fight between Benjamin and Moss, but an indigo hurricane!
That is the spell cast by the Wind Queen!
The fact that she can be directly named "Queen of the Wind" is enough to illustrate this woman's attainments in wind-attribute spells.
It can even be said that she is one of the most proficient mystics in wind spells in this era!
Even though Fenghou’s rank was suppressed by the promotion ritual, the strength she displayed at this time still exceeded the limits of ordinary third-level mystics.
The indigo hurricane sometimes contracts and condenses, sometimes expands and expands.
With it as the center, wind blades roared and cut outwards, causing many pirates to suddenly change their colors and not dare to approach at all.
Once hit by any wind blade, you will end up dripping with blood.
If you are on the edge of a hurricane, all your flesh and blood will be cut off like Ling Chi.
The Queen of the Wind has used this technique to execute several pirates who offended her.
How can a person who can be one of the five pirate kings be so soft-hearted?
However, in the face of the sweeping hurricane, the blond third apostle Tiffany was not afraid and walked forward step by step.
Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang!
When Tiffany walked into the scope of the hurricane, the sound of collisions like violent wind and rain continued to sound.
Those wind blades seemed to have hit an invisible wall, unable to harm Tiffany's delicate body.
“Tiffany…”
At the highest point of the hurricane, the beautiful eyes behind the wind were lowered, with a hint of fear flashing in them.
When it comes to the enemy she least wants to face, this third apostle is definitely at the top of the list.
Not only because of Tiffany’s weird secret ability, but also because, in the past fights, Feng Hou had a feeling——
This woman always seems to be hiding her true strength!
But soon, Fenghou returned to her cheerful demeanor and spoke with a smile.
“Sister Tiffany, long time no see.”
“Your mind control has become more and more subtle.”
Tiffany glanced at her lightly: "Old aunt, do I know you very well?"
Hearing the name "old aunt", Fenghou's face suddenly turned ugly.
In terms of age, she is indeed a few years older than Tiffany, just because it is easier for the Secret Path to maintain a youthful appearance, and no one will think how old Fenghou is.
But then again, which woman doesn’t care about her age?
Especially between two equally beautiful women, the age problem is even more serious.
Fenghou suppressed her smile, glanced around the hall, and said, "This place is too small for us to fight."
“How about going up there?”
Tiffany’s expression did not change: “It’s just what I want.”
next moment.
The dome above the palace was suddenly torn open, and two figures quickly rose to the heights.
…
…
“Hiss…these two women are so strong!”
In a corner of the palace, Hui Yun hid again and quietly watched the situation.
He has an exclusive secret method of hiding his breath, which can greatly reduce his own presence.
This is also the reason why he was able to hide until the end when he encountered Xia En.
At this time, a big hole opened in the palace of the [Pirate Principality], allowing Hui Yun to see the scene of Tiffany and Fenghou fighting.
The howling wind and the invisible power of thought constantly collided, rubbed, and clashed, shattering the clouds in the sky, which was thrilling to watch.
“However, women do look much better when fighting than men.”
Hui Yun turned his attention to another battlefield in the palace.
The four apostles faced off against the East King and the West King among the four kings.
They used different weapons to fight with the two kings.
The King of the East and the King of the West, one holding a long sword and the other holding a big ax, sneered and faced him.
Even Hui Yun can tell that the fighting skills and strength of the East King and the West King are far superior to the four apostles!
So, even if the apostles had the numerical advantage, they were still at a disadvantage, and they were just stalling for time.
“It seems that these two kings haven’t used their full strength yet!”
Huiyun came to a conclusion after observing and guessed: "Are you really still afraid of Benjamin?"
boom!
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound that attracted Hui Yun's attention.
He turned his head and looked.
In the center of the palace, two figures, one large and one small, collided with each other like meteorites hitting the earth.
Hearing this muffled sound, both the pirates and the apostles felt a sour feeling in their teeth.
The two people who collided were none other than Mad King Crow and the half-dragon Nana!
Both of them are strong men who are good at close combat.
One is a rare "blood leopard species", and the other is a half-dragon with dragon blood flowing. Their physical fitness is far more than twice that of ordinary people!
After this solid collision, the two of them each took two steps back.
only…
A flash of flush flashed across Nana's face, but Crowe's expression remained as usual.
“Not good! It seems that Mad King’s strength is still higher than Nana’s.”
Huiyun frowned slightly: "The potential of half-dragons is actually stronger than that of blood leopards."
“But Nana is still too young...”
If Nana and Mad King were to fight at the same age, her winning rate would be much higher.
But now…
Hui Yun couldn't help but feel a little sweat for her.
At this time, Mad King Crow chuckled and said, "Nana, your strength is not bad."
“Among the younger generation, you are considered one of the best.”
“But it’s a bit unrealistic to defeat me.”
Hearing this, Nana just sneered and said: "Old man, you are talking so much nonsense, give me a punch!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she roared angrily.
Immediately, the bones all over her body creaked, muscles bulged, and her body, which was already taller than an ordinary person, became taller by several centimeters again.
More and more scales appeared on her face and arms, and the dark golden light in her vertical pupils grew stronger.
The majesty from the giant dragon naturally spreads away, making the nearby pirates unable to help but feel fear.
Obviously, Nana has stimulated the dragon blood in her body, and her level of dragon transformation has been greatly improved.
Seeing Nana's attitude, Mad King Crow was not surprised but overjoyed, and laughed.
"Yes, this kind of momentum is worthy of Augustine's name as an apostle!"
“In this case, I have to be more serious.”
As he spoke, Crowe's aura was rising steadily, becoming more and more shuddering.
His thick red hair moved without any wind, and the blood in his body surged like a mighty river, and the beating of his heartbeat like a drum could be heard clearly in the ears of the surrounding pirates.
Just listening to this heartbeat made the pirates feel terrified.
Huiyun's expression changed slightly, and he thought to himself: "How strong is this guy's body?"
“Just the beating sound of the heart can already affect the blood flow of others?”
Boom!
At the next moment.
Two strong and sturdy figures collided together again, and the air waves suddenly expanded outward.
Every time Nana raised her hand, the golden and red aura swirled around and transformed into the illusion of a giant dragon, and she used her superb martial arts to exert all her strength.
Crowe, on the other hand, had red hair flying all over his body, and dots of **** runes appeared on his fists, one by one, and then disappeared one by one.
Rolling waves of secret power are coming towards your face.
The weaker pirates were blown around, and some even lost their footing and fell backwards.
Fortunately, Nana and Crowe did not want to affect the innocent pirates, so they consciously left the palace while fighting the capital.
“Monsters! These two guys are both monsters!”
Huiyun couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat when he looked at the many cracks left on the ground and the collapsed wall after the collision between the two. If any one of them collided with him, his bones would probably fall apart.
After watching these two humanoid ferocious beasts leave, Hui Yun’s eyes fell on a battlefield not far away.
The one-eyed old man Basil holds a dagger, like a dancer dancing on the tip of the knife, taking strange steps and attacking the traitor Tucker among the apostles again and again.
Compared to Basil's ghostly figure, what surprised Hui Yun even more was...
The obese Tucker actually showed flexibility and agility that was not in line with his size, and could easily block Basil's attacks every time.
Moreover, he carried strange toxins on his body, which also made Basil extremely afraid.
As long as it touches it, the consequences will be disastrous!
“Strange, according to the information I collected, Tucker shouldn’t have this weird poison technique…”
Hui Yun thought for a moment and suddenly realized.
“Wait a minute, I’m afraid this ‘Tucker’ is no longer the original apostle, but a tester who plays the role of an apostle!”
“Is his profession a variant of [Alchemist]?”
Not only Huiyun was aware of this, but some of the trialists among the pirates were also aware of this.
A few people's eyes flickered and they looked at each other.
While the surroundings were in chaos, these people quietly came not far from Tucker.
Immediately, they each used their secret skills and launched sneak attacks from all angles!
One of them was holding a long sword, and when he saw that he was about to pierce Tucker's back, a look of joy appeared on his face.
But suddenly, a layer of fat on Tucker's body suddenly expanded and swelled, flowing under the skin like liquid, and the color gradually became colorful.
Following…
With a "bang" sound, this layer of fat exploded.
The colorful venom sprayed around and covered the surrounding attackers.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"
These testers suddenly let out shrill screams.
Under the corrosion of toxins, their clothes and flesh and blood melted and disintegrated in an instant.
The trialist who was closest was the worst. Venom was poured all over his head, and his white skull was directly exposed to the air.
Soon, even those pale bones were turned into a puddle of pus.
Nearby, some pirates suffered unforeseen disasters. They fell to the ground and howled in pain. Soon their faces were ashen and they lost their vitality.
Among the several sneak attackers, only one of them dodged in time and was only stained by the venom on his arm.
He cut off the arm directly, thus saving a small life.
Even so, the man looked at Tucker with fear, fear and anger.
“You madman! You actually turned your body into a venom-producing device!?”
“Now your whole body is full of poison!”
After a layer of fat on his body exploded, most of Tucker's skin was damaged, exposing the fat underneath.
But the strange thing is that not a drop of blood flows out of his body. Instead, there are only colorful colors covering every corner of his body, which looks extremely horrifying.
Facing this man’s question, Tucker grinned, showing his white teeth.
“You’re right.”
“But the principle of alchemy is equal exchange!”
“Only by paying a corresponding price can I get the power I want. Mere flesh and blood, what does it mean?”
"As the first person to see through the methods I used, I decided to grant you a merciful death!"
Before Tucker finished speaking, one of his fingers shot towards the tester like a flying knife.
This tester's complexion suddenly changed and he was about to turn around and run away.
But this finger was extremely fast, and it suddenly exploded in the air, and the colorful rain of venom dissipated again.
Several people, including the secret traveler, were directly corroded and melted by the poisonous rain, and died tragically on the spot. The pirates nearby were filled with jealousy.
“This guy is really a complete pervert!”
Huiyun's eyelids twitched: "If he were in the real world, he would definitely not dare to refine his body into a venom tank, but this is just a promotion ritual after all."
“Even if Tucker’s body is messed up by alchemy, as long as he is still alive, he can complete this trial.”
“Moreover, he is now equivalent to a self-exploding bomb. Even enemies who are stronger than him are not willing to die with him.”
The more Huiyun thought about it, the more he felt that Tucker seemed crazy, but in fact he was bold and careful, and he was definitely not an ordinary secret seeker.
as expected.
After seeing Tucker covered in venom, Basil became more and more restrained in his attacks.
There was a stalemate for a while.
"However, the battlefield that really determines victory or defeat is..."
The gray cloud looked in another direction.
There, Moss, covered with ice, was challenging Benjamin in front of him.
Mossburn was clearly seriously injured by Tucker's sneak attack, but perhaps it was precisely because he knew that his life was running out that he shined with great brilliance.
His body is surrounded by extremely terrifying secret power of ice, which can easily freeze the flow of blood and cause the enemy to fall into a frozen state.
Even Benjamin moved a little slowly when he was next to Moss.
The ice ridges and ice knives pierced out from any place around Benjamin one after another. They were insidious and difficult to guard against.
Benjamin just passively avoided them.
Judging from the surface, it was Moss who had the upper hand for a moment.
“Whoever wins this battle will determine the future of the [Pirate Principality].”
Huiyun watched the battle between the two men intently and thought in his mind.
“But who will win?”
“Of course it’s Benjamin.”
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Huiyun was startled. He turned around and saw a man in a white coat wearing a single-sided spectacles.
Hui Yun should have been wary of such a complete stranger.
But for some reason, he felt that it was okay for this man to appear here, and it was normal for him to talk to him.
Some strange sense of dissonance was quietly erased.
So, Huiyun asked subconsciously: "Why?"
The man who looked like a researcher smiled: "Can't you tell?"
"Moss has already used all his strength, but Benjamin hasn't even used 30% of his ability, right?"
ifier
Hui Yun took a breath of cold air.
He thought that there would be a big gap between Moss and Benjamin, but he never thought that the gap would be so big!
“So, the apostles are bound to lose?”
“That’s not necessarily the case.”
The man shook his head: "As long as Augustine comes forward, all problems will be solved."
Hui Yun was a little puzzled when he heard this: "But isn't Augustine already seriously injured?"
“If he wasn’t hurt, why was he hiding all this time?”
The white coat looked at him angrily: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
“Who knows what kind of medicine that old guy is selling in his gourd!”
Hearing the name "old guy", Hui Yun once again felt a faint sense of strangeness in his heart, but he couldn't tell what the specific strangeness was.
At this time, the white coat pointed at the two people in the field and smiled.
“Hey, Benjamin is going to get serious.”
“Watch it, Moss will be there soon... huh?”
Just when the white coat was about to express some opinions, his expression changed slightly, he looked at the ground under his feet and murmured.
“…Something is coming!”
