Chapter 128

Five soldiers patrol in the forest. They are responsible for the southwest of the valley. In fact, this position can be regarded as the dead corner of the valley. People entering from this direction can't find the valley at all. Instead, they will be suspicious because someone is patrolling here. However, their commander may really be a fool, so he will arrange manual patrols here. As these soldiers, of course, he is not qualified to make comments.

"What are we patrolling here?" A young soldier said somewhat dejected, "this corner is a dead corner. It's a waste of time."

"All right, stop talking. The captain didn't speak. What did you say?" An older soldier interrupted him with some dissatisfaction.

So the young soldier secretly glanced at the leader of their team, a 40 year old veteran. It is said that he had participated in two large-scale battles and had won hundreds of meritorious deeds. According to his qualifications, he could be a squadron commander. He was demoted only because he offended his superiors.

The boy was disappointed.

He felt that his luck was terrible. Other patrols are in charge of the areas most likely to find the enemy, which also means the acquisition of combat achievements. If you want to excel in the army, you need to accumulate enough combat achievements at the fastest speed. Only in this way can you get the attention of the superior and be promoted. The higher the position, the greater the power and salary. He didn't join the army for the honor and reputation of nobility. He just wanted something more practical.

But now, he was assigned to this team, and he suddenly felt very disappointed.

"Did you inadvertently offend someone?" The boy couldn't help thinking in some frustration.

But no matter how he recalled it, he never remembered whether he had offended anyone or missed anything. He was transferred from the reserve forces to the army in less than three days, and the troops came here. During that time, he had the most contact with the recruits who arrived with him. He did not know which team he was following until he assigned the task last night.

That is, this morning, he knew that his captain was so great, and then he knew how unlucky his captain was, and how bad his situation was. With such a captain, it is impossible for him to accumulate combat achievements unless a large-scale war really breaks out, but this kind of thing can't happen so easily.

He sighed helplessly. The boy was a little sad. He looked up at him at a 45 degree angle, but he couldn't see the blue sky. Only a large canopy blocked the sky.

Just then a rustle came from the woods.

A girl with long brilliant blond hair suddenly broke into the eyes of the patrol. She was wearing a set of black-and-white Gothic clothes. The luxury of the clothes was obviously beyond the ordinary people's possession. What attracts the most attention is the girl's facial features -- her blue eyes are full of smiles, her golden eyebrows are raised, and her mouth is slightly raised, showing a playful and proud smile -- as exquisite as the handed down work of a master sculptor.

She put her hands around her chest and held an exaggerated book in her arms. From the complex texture depicted on the cover and the golden frame corners of the four book corners, it is obvious that the value of this book is definitely not low.

The girl is not very old. She looks about fifteen. Her face is filled with a happy smile.

But soon, the smile froze on her face, and her eyes turned to fear. Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately turned and ran. Several soldiers who were also surprised by her appearance reacted and immediately subconsciously stepped up to catch up.

"Don't chase!" But just then, the leader of the team suddenly shouted, "it's strange."

Hearing his voice, several soldiers also stopped. They were willing to believe the captain because he had much more experience than them. On the battlefield, experienced veterans are often more popular and loved, because these experiences may become their own life-saving notes at some time. Therefore, since the captain said not to chase, he must have his reason.

"Patter."

The little girl's book fell to the ground and once again attracted the attention of the soldiers, and the little girl ran forward a few steps before she stopped. She looked back at the soldiers and seemed to see that they had no intention of catching up. She dared to run back again, picked up the books and immediately turned around and ran away. However, because of tension, the little girl fell down twice in the process, but she didn't leave the books or look back, but hurriedly struggled and ran away.

"There's nothing strange! Captain, you are too cautious! " The boy finally couldn't help but say a word, and then ran after the girl, "I'm going to catch her! This is war merit! "

The boy felt a burst of excitement from his heart. He had an impulse both psychologically and physically. Maybe it doesn't just mean war merit, but I'm afraid only he knows what it is.

"She's just a child!" Seeing the boy's behavior, the captain of the team couldn't help shouting.

"Not soon!" The boy's echo sounded in the forest and completely exposed his desire.

The other soldiers looked at each other, and then finally dropped the captain's warning and chased in the direction of the girl. If they were afraid of falling behind, they would have nothing for a while. Looking at the anxious appearance of these people who can be regarded as belonging to their own command, the captain felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know where the uneasiness came from. He just felt a chill rising in his heart.

There seems to be a strange noise behind him.

The captain lowered his head alertly and flew forward. When he rolled on the spot, he glanced behind him with the rest of his eyes.

No one!

The veteran stood up slowly and smiled to himself that he was too nervous: "there should be no one in this corner. The girl probably went the wrong way..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain coming from his back. The pain passed quickly and spread to his chest. The veteran looked down in surprise and saw a small cut-off sword tip. The blood was flowing to the sword tip along the edge of the blade, and then dropped drop by drop, leaving countless bright red flowers on the ground.

The veteran turned his head hard and was facing Sean's cold eyes. He made a voice in his mouth. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything. Sean quickly drew one side of the sword and let a spattering blood arrow, a not weak light shot from the veteran and disappeared into Sean's body, which increased Sean's experience value.

Then soon, four more spheres of light, slightly darker than this one, flew back from the direction Cecilia ran away.

Sean knew that the four soldiers who pursued Cecilia were dead.

But when the last light didn't enter the body, Sean felt a surge of power in the body. This power almost broke out. Sean hasn't had it for nearly half a year. At this time, there is an unspeakable comfort all over the body, just like the pores that have been blocked for a long time have been relaxed, and the whole body is smooth and dripping.

Soon Alfred and Arnold came back to protect Cecilia.

"How?" Asked Alfred.

Sean nodded and said with a smile, "it's ready."

"We'd better hurry up. We've cleaned up all the patrols. If the other party changes shifts suddenly at this time, we'll be exposed immediately." Said Alfred.

"I know." After Sean said a word again, he waved his sword on his palm and exerted a little force, and the blood kept dripping from his hand.

On the grass, Sean sent out a strange magic array with his own blood. This magic array is not registered in any magic manual. Although it does not seem complex, the magic array does not judge the magic supply by the number of strokes, but the power of a magic array is judged by the number of magic nodes.

Cecilia saw at a glance that there were 88 magic nodes in the magic array in front of her, which was close to the intermediate magic array!

When he finished painting the magic array, Sean's face had become a little pale, not because he lost too much blood, but because the magic consumption was a little high. He simply wrapped his left hand and extended his hand to Cecilia. Cecilia soon handed the page of the demon book to Sean. Sean threw the paper without hesitation. The paper that should have floated with the wind fell quickly.

When the paper fell to the ground, white smoke came out of the paper. A smell of sulfur and hot continued to rush forward. The hot magma kept rolling on the ground, piled higher and higher, like a tumor. The next second, the magma burst, and a demon with silver scales and red and black stripes appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Because Sean waved and threw it in the magic array, the place where the devil came out at the moment was in the magic array.

The magic array is not big, with a diameter of less than half a meter, but it is absolutely more than enough to just let this silver scale demon with a body similar to human stand inside.

Almost at the moment when the devil appeared, Sean had begun to sing the mantra in a low voice. When the devil completely revealed his birth form, Sean's mantra had just finished. Unexpectedly, he calculated the time for a second. When the magic nodes on the magic array lit up one by one, the consciousness of the silver scale devil finally came to the body, but when it realized what the problem was, all 88 nodes on the magic array were lit up.

The silver scale devil suddenly made a crazy roar, but strangely, this roar didn't ring out in the forest at all.

People could only see the devil's ferocious and roaring appearance, but they didn't hear its voice at all, as if it had been affected by the magic of silence. Then, the people saw that the devil suddenly moved and was about to rush towards Sean, but it had just jumped to the edge of the magic array, and a blood red crystal suddenly appeared in the air, with purple and blue electric light shining on it, which severely bounced back the devil's momentum.

[biological silver scale demon is detected, attack effect: range extension, defense effect: Demon Armor, is it sealed?]

"Seal!" Sean said in a deep voice.

A circle of magic halo suddenly rose from the magic array on the ground and whirled into the air. The blood red light is not strong, but the magic wave emitted from the inside is not weak, but people without keen magic perception can never find this wave - and when the magic halo stops in mid air, the originally transparent blood red crystal wall completely appears in front of the people, which makes the silver scale devil more irritable.

But all his attacks were in vain.

As the magic array began to compress the upper limit, the red light column like a test tube gradually became stronger. You can even see that the blood red crystal wall became more and more bright, and there was a faint sound of bones being crushed. When the light column was finally compressed into a flat magic array and floated in mid air, the red brilliance on it was almost dripping out, and everyone thought of the end of the devil inside.

[please select the seal type.]

Sean actually hesitated for a moment. He didn't expect that the attack effect of silver scale devil would extend the range. This can be regarded as the judgment effect of space system. This effect was only owned by a few curse and seal swordsmen in the game. However, his fighting rhythm itself is based on speed. The judgment damage of attack extension does not play a big role for him. On the contrary, he lacks sufficient defense means, which is a hard injury for him.

Almost all demon creatures, if used as defense marks, will generate the effect of "Demon Armor". This effect can temporarily cover the body with a layer of demon skin, which can not only effectively resist a certain degree of damage, but also be immune to fire damage. Only a few demons have other types of defense effects. Some are stronger than Demon Armor, and some are worse than Demon Armor.

However, from the current results, the defense effect of silver scale devil can only be regarded as regular, but the attack effect is relatively excellent.

If you want to be more conducive to your own long-term development, you should naturally choose the attack effect. However, from the current situation, the value of defense effect is naturally higher, and Sean does not need to be forced to readjust his tactical rhythm for this attack effect. The most important point is that after having "Demon Armor", even temporarily having the devil's defense is enough to greatly improve his survivability.

"Defense!"

When Sean's words fell, the scarlet magic array shrank rapidly, shrinking and changing from the first half meter in diameter. At first, there were some traces of the magic array, but as the range was reduced to less than a few centimeters, there was no trace of the magic array, and even the magic nodes seemed to disappear.

When the magic array finally became only a few centimeters large, it suddenly turned into a rainbow and shot into Sean's left hand.

A burst of white smoke suddenly came out of Sean's left hand, as if he had been scalded by a soldering iron. He endured the sharp pain in his hands, and a slightly strange Rune appeared on the back of Sean's left hand.

This Rune looks like an "X", but there is a red texture similar to ox horn on both sides. Then the two nodes below x will bend around and extend below the arm, but they do not merge with each other, but reveal a gap. At the top of the X, there is also a mark. This mark looks more like a Y, but the two corners of the Y word are more sharp and tortuous.

[curse seal and silver scale: defense effect. When activated, it can cover a layer of demon skin on local areas of the body. It can effectively resist weapon damage with sharp and puncture value less than 30. It has no effect on strike damage. It is immune to all fire damage, lasting for 10 seconds and cooling down for 1 hour.]

Looking at the mark on the back of his hand, Sean's mouth was slightly raised, and his eyes showed a trace of excitement.

Although the effect is only a short ten seconds, if used well, Sean is even sure to fight with the next master of silver strength. With this basic guarantee, it is enough for Sean to do a lot of things. He is no longer afraid of being assassinated by others, because the launch of the spell seal is immediate, that is, as long as his mind moves, it will produce an effect immediately!

"Succeeded?" Alfred and Cecilia could not understand the situation, so they asked curiously.

Sean didn't answer. He showed the back of his hand to the three people, but when he saw the other party's slightly confused eyes, he had to nod and say, "it's successful!"

"So what are we going to do next?" Cecilia asked.

"What to do?" Sean asked back, "when William comes, we'll leave here Our commission with Paro is to help him find the goods and send a signal to him, right? "

The crowd nodded.

So Sean smiled, "now the things are in it. Isn't that what's left of him?"（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
