Chapter 420: Forbidden Land of Laziness
Chapter 420: Forbidden Land of Laziness
Back in the Rusty Iron Fortress, the bitingly cold and slightly damp wind cut my face like a knife.
Seeing the two S-class people show up, the medical instructor who stayed behind in the fortress hurried over. This middle-aged woman with an ordinary face but very gentle eyes seemed a little anxious at the moment.
"Amber, Sylvia, the academy may need the combat power of both of you now."
"Yesterday, a team of students from the academy found a transit arsenal built by a local fortress in the wild. After going deeper, they encountered an ambush by the Knights of Redemption."
The medical instructor said solemnly, "Fortunately, not far from the exploration team, the two student leaders are working together to hunt. Because of the quick support, the situation has been barely stabilized."
Lady Ash listened attentively. The so-called student leaders should be the Forest Sin Mage and the Thunder Sin Mage. If these two guys accumulate for another ten or twenty years, there is a great hope that they will be promoted to gold.
The medical instructor looked distressed and continued, "After the Academy Tactical Department and the Fortress Corps Command made their decision, we sent the Seventh Corps Commander to provide support. The old priest volunteered to go, and the two of them went to the battle site, but there was no news."
"The fortress is now preparing for the second reinforcement. No one can accept the loss of two golds and a large number of excellent seeds at one time. Both the commander of the great army and the enemy's redemption commander need to guard against the other party's sneak attack on the fortress. The probability of dispatching is extremely low. As long as you follow the other golds and act in a group, you will never perish."
It was obvious that the medical instructor wanted the two S-class players to play the role of golden combat power and participate in the support.
Jiang He was actually a little depressed because there was no reward, but encountering gold meant there was room for hunting, which was not completely meaningless. He just needed to grasp the situation himself.
Compared to someone who would not do anything without benefits, Lady Ashes was obviously very loyal to the Empire and was immediately tempted.
"Teacher, I am willing to go, but I cannot make decisions for Amber." Lady Ash deliberately lied, "It depends on his own wishes. I don't know whether Teacher Acatli has issued a secret mission, but the mission level is definitely higher than the fortress order. After all, we are students, not legion soldiers."
Upon hearing this, the medical instructor immediately looked at someone eagerly. The Forest Sin Mage was her blood relative. If not, the matter of preparing combat personnel had nothing to do with the medical system.
"Okay." Jiang He said calmly, "But I don't accept orders."
"Thank you for your help."
The medical instructor thanked her profusely, and Lady Ashes sighed silently. It was very likely that this instructor had always stayed in the academy and was successfully promoted to instructor after finishing his student days. According to her observation, someone would never work hard without compensation. In terms of equivalent exchange, this guy and the alchemist were terrifyingly compatible.
A quarter of an hour later, the commanders of the second and third armies arrived and joined them.
The commander of the Second Legion is a bald woman with hard muscles all over her body. She wears a short top and shorts, and her arms are as thick as tree trunks. As a combat sinner, her contracted Abyss Ghost is a lower level than the War Abyss Ghost, and she is extremely good at close combat.
"Amber, right?" The bald woman laughed carelessly, "That punch on Myles was great!"
The commander of the Third Legion was a handsome young man. Upon hearing this, he immediately elbowed the bald woman and apologized, "Don't mind, both of you. She and Myles have always been at odds. It's because they don't like each other, but it's also inevitable due to their positions. We in the Holy City Legion are still clear-headed when it comes to major issues."
Lady Ash nodded to show her understanding. If the First and Second Legion Commanders lived in harmony and treated each other like brothers, they would be seeking death. This situation was not uncommon.
The medical instructor bowed slightly and said, "Thank you all for your help. I will guide you."
As the mentor stretched out his hand, four butterflies made entirely of sin energy flew out.
"These life butterflies record the life breath of the Forest Sinner. He has made a contract with the Forest Abyss Ghost and has special treatment in the Lightless Forest. As long as we follow the direction of the butterflies, we can find our destination."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang He disappeared from the spot.
Lady Ash realized that someone was acting alone and she couldn't help but panic. Having traveled with her for some time, she had become accustomed to Amber's presence. Although she was usually cold and difficult to communicate with, her fighting ability was obvious to all and she felt very safe.
The bald girl and the handsome young man looked at each other with flickering eyes.
……
Lightless forest.
Jiang He appeared in the shadow behind a big tree.
The ultimate ability of the suit, the Eternal Night Hunter state, has been activated. He can flash freely within a radius of 100 meters, and after the four-piece effect, the hunter's spatial ability consumption is halved. Within ten minutes, each flash only consumes energy points.
Thirty consecutive extreme flashes.
Jiang He moved three hundred kilometers in the blink of an eye and went deep into the forest.
In a state of divine thinking, he constantly adjusted his direction according to the guidance of the Butterfly of Life, and kept his all-seeing eye open throughout the process to empower himself with an extraordinary burst of energy.
Ten kilometers ahead, a giant castle-like arsenal was clearly visible. Hundreds of cadets were defending the city walls. A man dressed as a legion commander had lost his left arm. An old priest was holding a sickle in one hand, looking very strong, as he confronted two descendants of saints.
A hemispherical atonement ritual barrier blocked the area around the arsenal, cutting off communication between the inside and the outside.
The Church's atonement ritual is extremely famous. It aims to seal hatred within each person's body through the power of the ritual, and the effect is roughly 70% to 80%. In this way, hatred is reduced from leaking out, effectively reducing the probability of the birth of the Abyss Demon.
At the same time, the Theocracy can also use the atonement ritual to control the life and death of the sinners to a certain extent. This ritual can suppress sin energy, because the essence of sin energy comes from hatred. In terms of combat, suppressing sin energy is equivalent to cutting off most of the extraordinary means of communication.
in the forest.
Jiang He slowly loaded the city-burning explosive bomb into the magazine. He flashed forward seven kilometers and then raised the Momentary Echo.
boom!
Flames spurted from the muzzle of the silver-gray revolver.
Three kilometers away, under the gaze of hundreds of students, the saints of the Church in front of the giant castle suddenly changed color.
The lonely sinner of the golden rank covered his heart in pain, and then with a loud bang, flames as powerful as those that could burn a city erupted from his chest. The ultimate weapon and the ultimate bullet directly shattered his heart and burned the flesh and blood in his chest to ashes.
“Who’s shooting?”
The other Golden Sinner was shocked and angry, but the only response he got was the second muffled sound.
The head of the lonely sinner suddenly exploded, blood mixed with broken bones splattered, and the core of the domain shattered with a crackling sound. When he returned from death, his face was full of fear.
"help me……"
Boom!
In an instant, there were two more explosions in his body, and the lonely sinner fell to the ground and died.
In the giant castle, before the silver students could react, one of the enemy's strongest fighters had already fallen.
The old priest felt a chill all over his body. This invisible attack took place directly inside his body, and he had very few means of defense.
"Who is it? Stand out!" The Church's sinners who were besieging the castle were in chaos. The golden-rank storm sinner looked around with a ferocious face, searching for the attacker, but unfortunately there was only a gloomy and strange forest around.
On the giant castle, the armless commander of the Seventh Legion seized the opportunity and raised his mind-image weapon, Liuguang Zhaohua, with one hand. He clenched his teeth on the giant bow that was almost as tall as a person, pulled the bowstring, and gathered armor-breaking arrows full of violence and power. He planned to shoot the enemy's gold.
But in the next moment, his head and heart suddenly exploded, and the sound of the domain shattering was heard. Even in the previous life-and-death battle between the two sides, he had not suffered such tragic injuries.
When the commander of the Seventh Legion returned from death, before he regained consciousness, the seventh bullet landed, the echo effect activated, and double armor-breaking damage was released in his brain. His head immediately shattered into a bloody mist, and even his soul was annihilated.
Three kilometers away, Jiang He put away his revolver.
Hitting the target upon firing involves a hidden condition, which is that aiming and hitting the target position need to take into account the gunman's field of vision. With the support of the all-seeing eye, he can directly see and hit the vital parts of the prey, making the damage more deadly.
Seven shots killed two golden sinners, a remarkable achievement, but the sinners on both sides, as prey, were obviously not happy at all.
After the commander of the Seventh Army was shot, the cadets and soldiers who had been cheering loudly became frozen in expression. The shooter might not be a friendly force, which made the enemy feel the same psychological fear of being judged from a distance.
"What's going on? How come the legion commander was also beaten?"
"It's not the Empire, it's not the Theocracy, it must be those beasts from the End of the World!"
"What should I do? I don't want to die in such a confused way!"
The situation becomes delicate.
Jiang He pushed the city-burning explosive bombs into the magazine one by one, and at the same time sent a friend message to the old priest.
[Mo Ke: What's inside the castle?]
[Old priest: It's you!?]
[Old priest: There is no munitions in the castle. This is where the lazy ghost lives. It is in the coffin on the first floor and is awake, but just unwilling to move.]
Jiang He fired four shots in succession, using up a total of eleven ultimate bullets.
Bang bang bang!
The Storm Sinner who was trying to retreat in front of the castle was hit repeatedly, his head and heart exploded twice in succession, and he finally died in grief.
[Mo Ke: Who found this place? Don’t tell me someone is so lucky that they can easily find the core of the Lightless Forest.]
[Old priest: It seems to be Green, he is in a coma]
Just as the two sides were exchanging information.
Lady Ash and the other two followed the guidance of the Life Butterfly and came to the vicinity of the castle.
When they crossed a certain boundary, the ground and mountains within a hundred miles suddenly shook.
Inside the castle, a lazy ghost shaped like a teenager was lying in a coffin with his eyes open, doing nothing. It was not that he was unable to move, but that he was simply too lazy to move. There was an inert defense around him, and it was difficult for ordinary gold to break into it. Such days had lasted for decades.
But in a flash, the hemispherical atonement ritual outside suddenly shrank, turning into a cage that ignored the inertial defense engraved on the lazy abyss ghost, like a red-hot iron chain wrapped around it.
The ritual of suppressing hatred and sinful energy was like a poison to the Abyss Ghost. The lazy Abyss Ghost's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and he let out a scream that shook his soul.
As if obeying the order of the Creator, with the castle as the origin, all the black trees within a hundred miles radius turned into ashes and nutrients, causing a pure black barrier to rise up, tightly covering the upper and lower parts and the left and right sides, as if forming a forbidden area.
The Lazy Abyss Ghost is ready to get up and kill all the intruders who disturb its daze.
Before the forbidden area was fully formed, Jiang He flashed three times in succession and collected the remains of three golden statues. He activated Divine Hunt, Night Hunt and Time Rift, absorbing the blood from his heart at the fastest speed, raising the blood poison to LV75.
The moment he returned to his original position, a prompt sound rang in his ears.
[Tip: Your energy and stamina recovery rate is reset to zero]
[Tip: Space movement is prohibited here]
[Tip: Perception abilities are prohibited here]
[Tip: Flying abilities are prohibited here]
[Tip: It is forbidden to jump to other life levels here]
[Tip: Communication abilities are prohibited here]
At the same time, at the edge of the forbidden area.
The bald woman and the handsome young man attacked at the same time without any warning, and their fists and spears hit Lady Ash's back together.
At the critical moment of life and death, Lady Ash's expression changed, and she decisively activated the Oathbreaker and the Covenant of Forsaken Oath, which increased her physical fitness by 200%, and at the same time stun the handsome young man for 0.5 seconds.
The bald woman grinned and swung her fist. With the help of her mental weapon, the Fist of Ten Thousand Armies, she smashed the upper body of her prey.
Lady Ash flew out horizontally, smashing down the castle wall, and the turbulent aftermath crushed a dozen silver students.
The situation changed suddenly.
The old priest, who was extremely sensitive to life and death, immediately realized that this was a trap.
The ritual of atonement disappeared on the lazy ghost. Even though there were invaders everywhere, as long as it was not disturbed from its daze, it had no desire to take action and followed its instinct to lie back in the coffin.
At the other end of the forbidden area, a man and a woman walked side by side.
The woman had an extremely beautiful appearance, leaning on the man's shoulder. Both of them were middle-aged, but there was no sign of aging in their looks. The former held a heavy hammer, and the latter held a long sword, and they both had extremely powerful auras.
"The Chief Judge of the Theocracy..."
"Head of the Theocracy's Atonement Group..."
Cold sweat dripped down the old priest's forehead.
If someone hadn't killed three people first at an incredible speed, then according to the worst case scenario, this trap would be led by the strongest one, assisted by six ordinary golds, and suppressed in many ways by the lazy abyss ghost.
Such a scene is definitely not aimed at me.
The man holding the sword had blond hair, like a lion in his prime. He looked at the tall young man and said with a smile, "Showing off your talents is not always a good thing. There are so many people who want you dead. I happen to be one of them. The Imperial Sword does not belong to swordsmen. Is it possible that the pearl has been covered in dust?"
Jiang He stretched out his hand flat, bent his four fingers, and said calmly, "Come."
The old priest was shocked when he saw this. He thought it was just teasing someone. When it came to provocation, he probably couldn't do as well as this person could do it casually.
Lady Ash propped herself up and stood up. Regardless of the blood flowing from her mouth, she looked at the woman beside the Captain of the Redemption with hatred and murderous intent.
Hundreds of silver soldiers from both sides of the forbidden area were silent, and everyone realized that the most important thing at the moment was not victory or defeat, but how to survive in the golden chaos.
Ding!
The leader of the Redemption Corps raised the Immortal Sword in his hand.
The Sin of Slashing Magician, specialized in killing, the contracted Slashing Abyss Demon has been continuously cultivated by the Church and has long been above the Sword Abyss Demon.
