As expected, Yan Xiaocang fled from the supply station in a hurry. After all, he was an old hunter who had been wandering in Qimeng Paradise for many years and had a special sense of crisis. Seven or eight people followed him.
Their thoughts were the same as Yan Xiaocang's. They would rather believe it or not. Anyway, the bandits have retreated. If they don't come back, the mission will be considered a success. If they come back, they will come back with them. At most, their contribution to the mission will be Deduct some. But compared to my own life, what does mission contribution count?
Yan Xiaocang walked up the mountain along the road he came to the supply station. When the large-scale magic came, the plain was flat. Unless he dug a hole and buried himself, there was no hiding place. Moreover, Yan Xiaocang has personally experienced Nanfeng's use of water, fire and earth magic, and feels that it is safer in the mountains. He and Youyou ran all the way. After a few minutes, they left the supply station a full kilometer away. Suddenly, there was a violent vibration on the ground. Youyou was caught off guard and almost fell down.
"Arrived so soon? Is it still a magic that controls the earth?" Yan Xiaocang turned around in shock. If Nanfeng really controlled the land under the supply station, erecting a few earth walls or cracking gaps, the supply station would be finished.
The sky above the supply station was clear and there was no sign of magic being activated. At this time, Yan Xiaocang suddenly felt that there were waves of alpha particles in the air, like an angry sea, and the turbulent waves were coming with unstoppable momentum.
How can it be! Yan Xiaocang was shocked. Through studying the magic notes, Yan Xiaocang is no longer the rookie who knows nothing about monk hunters. In Qimeng Paradise, no matter which occupation or method of fighting, it is all about the application of alpha particles. It takes at least two years for the alpha particles in the human body to reach a concentration similar to that in the air by around six stars, let alone the total amount.
Relying solely on the alpha particles in the body obviously cannot withstand the consumption of magic. The monk hunters need to use a certain method to synchronize the alpha particles in the body with those in the air, and mainly rely on the alpha particles outside the body to supply magic energy. Both in theory and performance, it is somewhat similar to throwing stones into water. Throwing a small stone into the water will cause ripples, and if the stone is large enough, it can splash a very high column of water. Therefore, the larger the scale of magic, the greater the investment required by monk hunters.
Although the fluctuations of alpha particles did not turn into terrifying storms like air, Yan Xiaocang was too sensitive to such fluctuations. He suddenly felt that his body was swaying, and his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all unable to work. He actually felt like he was walking against the wind. a feeling of.
Youyou is a combat hunter and does not have as keen a sense as Yan Xiaocang, so she just felt that it became difficult to breathe. When she looked up, the scene in front of her made her yell: "Xiao Cang, look at it, it's so spectacular!"
Yan Xiaocang reluctantly opened his eyes and saw a whirlwind rolling up on the mountaintop in the distance, less than five meters above the ground and reaching the sky. Countless rocks and trees were swept up and hovered among them.
No way, could it be said that Nanfeng wants to move the entire mountain to the supply station?
When Yan Xiaocang saw this scene, he calmed down. The magic of "raging storm" seems powerful enough to make the less timid hunters weak, but it actually does not fall into the category of "magic of mass destruction". In the magic notebook in Yan Xiaocang's backpack, it was classified as "large-scale destruction magic" by Grandma Ximen Yejing.
The difference between destruction and killing lies in the degree of threat to life. "Wrathful Storm" has a wide coverage area and consumes a lot of magic power. It is worthy of the title of top magic, but it has one of the most fatal weaknesses: slow generation speed and slow movement speed.
When saying that the generation speed is slow, it does not mean that the time required to cast the spell is slow, but that after the magic is activated, it takes a long time for the raging storm to be fully formed. After all, it always takes a process to use the energy of alpha particles to create a pressure difference and then form a storm.
If you see a tornado carrying a lot of heavy objects, sweeping over with earth-shattering power, who would be stupid enough to block its path and not run away?
Of course, people can escape, but buildings are not so capable. Therefore, every place swept by a raging storm is full of broken tiles and ruins, and it is a mess. Those reinforced concrete structures cannot be destroyed by the storm, but if the tornado carries For some huge rocks and ancient trees, the situation is completely different.
Seeing the tornado in the distance slowly moving towards the supply station, Yan Xiaocang did not dare to neglect, judged the route, picked up the panting pet Zuma, led Youyou, and changed the direction to escape.
This time, without Yan Xiaocang¡¯s warning, the hunters in the supply depot should know what to do, right?
? ?At this time, the fluctuation of alpha particles is no longer as strong as it was at the beginning, and gradually becomes stable. Yan Xiaocang could feel that the energy flowing around him had weakened a lot. This place is still several kilometers away from where the magic starts. It can be seen that the energy required for magic is beyond people's imagination.
No, judging from several contacts with Nanfeng, as a six-star monk hunter, she has the ability to activate this magic, but it is impossible for the magic to reach its current scale. Just imagine, how big of a stone would you need to throw into a surging river to set off waves that sweep across both banks?
As if to confirm Yan Xiaocang¡¯s guess, a smaller wind column suddenly split out from the wind column of the tornado. Its wind force seemed to be much smaller, and it could not bear the weight of some huge rocks. Stones that were as high as one story fell to the ground one after another, hitting the ground heavily, and the earth shook continuously.
This is not over yet. The first wind pillar kept splitting outwards. In the end, it formed a huge group of ten wind pillars, one large, nine small, and covering an area of ??nearly one square kilometer. The yellow sand rolled over and covered the sky. On the same day, they rushed towards the supply station with great momentum.
"Nine stars accompany the moon?" Yan Xiaocang looked back and blurted out in horror, almost falling over.
"What does it mean to have nine stars accompanying the moon?" Youyou asked.
"It is the ultimate application mode of large-scale magic. It can copy nine magic spells of the same type, but with slightly less effective effects. Although it is not as perfect as Toka Lingkong, it is still an eight-star or above monk hunter. This can only be achieved under the influence of a force field.¡±
After explaining, Yan Xiaocang realized that the girl's attention was not on the approaching tornadoes.
"Yan Xiaocang, I think, compared with this magic, the cow in front is more terrifying."
"What cow?" Following the direction of Youyou's finger, Yan Xiaocang took a closer look. Sure enough, a black horn appeared on the ground, looking left and right like a periscope.
"Chongxi?" Yan Xiaocang took out the dead wood staff from his belt.
The rhinoceros is a relatively common monster in the plains. On the Prancing Horse Plains, there have been records of hundreds of encounters with the rhinoceros. Yan Xiaocang has specially studied thousands of monsters thousands of kilometers around, and has not let go of any that are threatening or valuable.
The rhinoceros is extremely large, and an adult can even weigh more than one ton. Its skull is very hard, and with its nearly half-meter-long horn, it can overturn an armored vehicle after running wildly. What is puzzling is that the huge rhinoceros likes to hide underground. They use the horn on their head as a tool to dig a hole in the ground, then bury themselves in it with only their horn sticking out. When prey passes by, it jumps out to hunt.
Some hunters speculate that the rhino¡¯s horns may be used for smelling and breathing. Only in this way can we explain its behavior of being able to confirm the whereabouts of prey without using its eyes. Judging from the native animals on the earth, animals with horns are generally herbivores. What is on the head of a rhinoceros may not be horns, but an alienated nose.
However, the noses of most creatures are very weak, and it is incredible to use their noses as weapons.
Later, some zoologists also denied this speculation. However, it is still a mystery what the horns of the rhinoceros are exposed on the ground.
Thinking about various information about Chongxi in his mind, Yan Xiaocang did not hesitate at all. He chanted the magic spell skillfully in his mouth, and instilled a strong internal force into the staff. Before the Chongxi in front of him could jump to the ground, Yan Xiaocang's magic had been cast. It was still the "earth barrier" he liked to use, and a low wall was erected in front of him.
This wall is not very high, but it is five meters thick. Although the impact of the Chongxi is strong, it has a weakness, that is, it cannot turn. As long as it has its sights set on the target, it will rush forward without hesitation. Yan Xiaocang placed obstacles on its path, hoping to stop it.
With a "boom", a big hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the earth wall. The earth flew in all directions like dense bullets, and then a huge body rushed out of the hole, with four hooves flying and rushing towards it with the sound of wind.
Yan Xiaocang¡¯s second magic was not ready yet, so he had to interrupt the magic and dodge to the side. Seeing Chong Xi passing by with blood-red eyes, he couldn't help but hesitate. Even such a thick earth wall cannot resist monsters, and commonly used ice shields are even less effective. I wonder what magic can form an effective defense?
At the critical moment, Youyou finally took on the responsibilities of a warrior hunter. She took out a small silver bowl from her backpack and rotated the green ring at the bottom. The edge of the small bowl expanded outward to form a thin shield.
"I'll withstand it, prepare your magic!"
The girl stood up the shield, held it tightly with her shoulders, and stared at Chongxi angrily. At this time?, rushed in a circle, stopped dozens of meters away, lowered his head, and breathed white air from his nose, preparing for the next attack. Youyou said nothing and ran quickly towards Chongxi.
"Youyou, no, you don't have enough strength, so you won't be able to do it." Yan Xiaocang was shocked, how could Youyou's thin body withstand a charge that weighed more than a ton?
Even if the body of a combat hunter has been strengthened in Dream Heaven, it is still flesh and blood after all. These monsters also live in the air rich in alpha particles, and their bodies are even stronger than humans. Youyou rushes forward rashly, and the weight alone is not a heavyweight.
The stubborn girl didn't seem to hear Yan Xiaocang's words, and stubbornly faced the charging rush. In desperation, Yan Xiaocang sped up the speed of reciting the spell, hoping that the next spell would be able to help Youyou in time.
Time is tight, and there is no time to use even medium-sized magic. Yan Xiaocang is going to use the most common small magic "Fire Impact". In addition to the short preparation time, the biggest advantage of this magic is that it uses flames to create a certain impact. Yan Xiaocang hopes that the power of magic will be enough to make Chongxi change his direction.
Unfortunately, Yan Xiaocang's magic was a bit slow. When he ended the spell and shot a fireball from the staff, Chongxi had already collided with Youyou.
Without any suspense, the silver shield with a blue light on the surface was pushed into a hole by the horn on the head of the rhinoceros. The girl was lifted into the air by the powerful force, and the red light armor skirt fluttered like a downed bird. .
