The sun is high - #118 - Chapter 117 The Predator’s Roar

Wei Lin had already left her chair.

At this time, the waiters who stayed in the corridor on the fifth floor of the underground had all disappeared into the steadily advancing rat tide, and the members of the Ernst family who were constantly confronting the rat tide of the secret ceremony were now completely trapped. Facing the constant tide of rats called by the secret ritual, their number is really insignificant. Even with Wei Lin’s constant release of magic for cover and support, their number is still decreasing.

As if seeing the hope of eliminating the threat, all the rats that can be mobilized by the secret ritual have now gathered here. Except for those densely packed black rats, there are also three black rats who have been seriously transformed by the “Mother of the Earth” secret ritual. Japanese association member.

Compared with the waiters who followed the rat tide before, these three figures were obviously more special.

Probably because they have been transformed by the secret ritual for a long time, they have completely turned into “rat men”. Two of them are extremely strong, and they are still using weapons. According to Wei Lin’s preliminary judgment, , it should be a shield and dagger attached with Demonic Silver. In front of this kind of shield, ordinary stream-level destructive magic can no longer be easily effective.

And behind them, there is a more dangerous existence.

That was a spell caster, or in other words, a spell caster who had been transformed into a rat-like clan by the secret ritual. His head had been stretched by magic power to look like a rat, except for the fact that there was still some traces of human beings on the top of his head. Apart from his hair and the magic book hanging on his body that symbolizes the identity of the caster, there is no trace of any human connection.

Faced with this critical situation, Weilin once again used the lake-level magic engraved in her memory.

During the rapid consumption of magic power, the cold white frost once again covered a large area of ​​the corridor, freezing all the rats in it into powder. After the “Cold Pool” was successfully used, she had previously used it to trap and kill the enemies. The “Bearing Cage” magic also came into play immediately. Based on the remaining white frost and cold magic power in the corridor, a large number of sharp ice blades continued to “grow” along the ground and walls. These sharp ice blades were as if they were in the corridor. Like the cracked ground during the earthquake, it was constantly dividing and swallowing up the tide of rats that could not be filled up, and kept rushing towards the three mutant ratmen at the rear.

“Boom! Boom!”

Two heavy silver shields that suffocated the devil were forcefully slammed to the ground by the two strong guards. As soon as the sharp ice blades protruded from the ground, they were severely “smashed” by the heavy shields in their hands. Although more ice The blade came under their bodies along the spreading white frost, but the ice knife that was originally capable of piercing the flesh was unable to break through the tough fur given to them by “Mother Earth” at this moment.

This is not over yet. At the end, the spell caster who was completely transformed into a rat man looked at the ice knives stabbing him, but he let out an unpleasant and weird laugh. Then the next moment, the magic pattern exuding a dark light Appearing next to him, a solid magic barrier was formed out of thin air, easily blocking all impacts for him.

Wei Lin’s face turned a little ugly.

She realized that that weird secret ritual probably still held some extremely special secrets, or that someone was still deliberately manipulating it until now. This method would first use a large number of rats as cannon fodder to consume the magic power of the defender. With resources, waiting for the situation to stabilize before making the final impact is really inconsistent with the operating principles of the secret ritual itself!

This is a decision that is only possible after being mixed with the wisdom of living beings.

“Above stream level…maybe even a river valley level combat caster.”

Weilin silently made a judgment on the strength of the “Rat Man Mage” in her heart. She knew that she could no longer have any reservations. It was a very unrealistic idea to cause harm, and delaying time was her best option at the moment. important goals.

She pursed her lips, opened the magic book, reached out and pinched a thick stack of pages, and was about to tear them all out in one go, when she saw a large number of rats suddenly appear in the corner of the wall next to her. That was the new force of the will of the Ernst family. As soon as these rats, controlled by the firm human will, arrived in the corridor, they showed an extremely shocking impact. Before the group of secret rats had formed a large scale, They pushed forward very decisively, pushing the already precarious front back towards the original path.

“Thanks for your hard work.”

A hand reached out from the side and gently took away the magic book in Wei Lin’s hand.

Wei Lin turned her head in confusion, only to see Xiuge holding a magic book, smiling and looking at her.

She couldn’t help but frown, not because she was dissatisfied with Xiuge’s behavior, but because Weilin felt a very strange and unprecedented aura on his body.

It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a spellcaster who had not yet officially passed the stream level assessment, but a magic scholar who was steadily moving towards the lake level.

She felt a very clear sense of fullness of magic power in Xiuge’s body.

But how is this possible?

However, now is obviously not the time to ask questions, because the member of the Black Sun Society who mutated into a rat-man spellcaster has already started taking action.

Shuge saw that the rat man spellcaster standing at the other end of the corridor raised his claws and clawed hard at his face.

He tore open his facial flesh, and a large amount of blood flowed down. Then he opened his mouth and uttered harsh and unpleasant prayers and chants.

This is a ritual that Xiuge has seen with his own eyes in previous dreams, but now the people performing it are no longer the rat priests who are absolutely loyal to the Mother Goddess of the Earth, but are twisted and mutated by real humans. mage.

The familiar dark yellow light and shadow floated forward like ribbons. They first penetrated the bodies of the two strong guards holding swords and shields, and then got into the tide of rats that was being pushed back.

The blessing from Mother Earth appears again at this moment.

“It really… looks familiar.”

Xiuge shook his head. He saw that the bodies of the two guards became stronger and more frightening under the blessing of the lost gods. He also saw that the bodies of a large number of rats began to swell and their claws became sharper.

But compared to the blessings from gods that I had “personally experienced”, it was still pitifully weak.

Seeing that Bernhardt and Jacob, who were at the front, were beginning to retreat, Shuge immediately raised the Hound’s Fang in his hand and began to aim forward.

There was a slight pain on the wrist, which was a sign that the magic bullet hidden in the wolf fang tattoo was “filled” into the hound’s fang bullet chamber.

Shuge complied with the “Palace Hound’s” rising desire to hunt and pulled the trigger hard.

The Fang of the Hound, which once showed its ferocious power in the dream sanctuary, finally let out a deafening roar once again in the real material world.

The surrounding air shrank rapidly in the direction of the Hound’s Fang. After plundering a large amount of Shuge’s magic power, the special bullet containing the power of the Dark Abyss Hound rushed towards the end of the corridor amid violent vibrations.

As early as the moment when Shuge raised the hound’s fang, a guard holding a magic silver shield was already moving forward with the shield. His current appearance was already the same as the ones Shuge saw in his dream and was blessed by the Mother Earth. There is not much difference between the warriors, or in other words, this is simply the reappearance of the traces of the long-ago gods.

With the support of the dark yellow blessing power, the head that was no different from a rat let out a heart-rending roar.

The next moment, the bullet from the Hound’s Fang collided with the heavy silver shield that strangled the demon.

However, there was no sound.

The moment the bullet hit the target, the guard’s burly body shook slightly, and then Shuge saw an extremely abnormal and huge rectangular gap suddenly appear on the magic-strangling silver shield in his hand. It was as if the shield had been ruthlessly cut by some precise craftsmanship.

Further back is the burly body covered with tough hair.

The body blessed by the Earth Mother seemed to have become a wax figure melting under the high temperature at this moment, and an equally shocking and weird wound directly penetrated the body hiding behind the shield.

It was as if what was shot out of the gun was not a bullet, but a huge iron wedge!

Whether it is the blessing of the gods or the body that has become extremely tough under the blessing of grace, everything becomes as soft as soil in the face of the special power of the Dark Abyss Hound.

The shield and body of the second guard were also penetrated on the spot, and this time, the power of the Hound’s Fang successfully took away the second guard’s right shoulder – his right shoulder and most of his arm were in the Hound. It was completely annihilated by the power. After losing the support of power, the incomplete shield fell heavily to the ground, crushing several rats that accidentally passed by.

The palace hound that had been dormant in the spiritual world of Shuge finally fully demonstrated its special power at this moment. As the metal disk rotated, the figure of the strange hound disappeared with a roaring command issued by the messenger in the mirror. into the groove of the disc.

Under the power provided by the secret ritual of “Mother of the Earth”, the guard at the front did not die. He dropped the broken shield in his hand and held the dagger tightly, as if he wanted to rely on his strong vitality to continue. Pushing forward, but before he could take two steps, an extremely strange scene happened under the gaze of Shuge and Wei Lin.

Suddenly, a dark claw stretched out from the strange wound on the guard’s body.

That’s exactly what the palace hound looks like.

The strange wound caused by the hound’s fang bullet seemed to be a passage for it to travel between two different worlds. As the thick black mist spread, the figure of the palace hound gradually disappeared from the body that was protecting the body. What was “squeezed out” from the wound was just a sharp claw at first, but soon, its long and narrow head covered with countless red pupils slowly came out. During the whole process, the guard looked like He stood there blankly as if he had lost the ability to move, letting his body become the door for the hound to visit the real world.

This terrifying dark abyss creature slowly turned its body and pressed its dark claws on the head of the mutated guard. Then its mouth full of sharp teeth and tentacles suddenly opened and bit down hard on the guard’s head. .

The head, which should have been as tough as steel, turned into nothingness on the spot under the gnawing of the hound. Through the vaguely “shared” senses of the hound, Xiuge could even clearly feel it killing his prey, and using the energy in his mouth to The terrifying process of the tentacles draining all the power out of its body.

“Sure enough… the things that come out of the dark abyss are ridiculously evil no matter how you judge them.”

Xiuge sighed secretly in his heart.

This terrifying scene obviously had a huge impact on the rat man spellcaster standing at the back. Facing this close threat, even though his spirit, will and body had already suffered the effects of the Earth Mother’s ritual. A comprehensive transformation, but the moment the palace hound appeared, a sense of terror that the rat man spellcaster could not understand suddenly took over his whole body.

His remaining sanity and modified instincts were roaring at him.

He realized that what appeared in front of him was most likely a “predator” that he was completely unable to fight against.

Under the stimulation of fear, a magic twisted by the power of the Mother Goddess of the Earth suddenly took shape. It was a chaotic dark yellow light and shadow. In the dark corridor, it was like a magic claw made of soil and yellow sand. However, When the sharp claws fell hard, the figure that was eating the prey’s head and sucking the prey’s body fluids suddenly disappeared, so the body of the guard who had lost his head became the target of this magic. In an instant, he was torn into pieces by the terrifying claws.

Just like what Xiuge had experienced in the dream shelter before.

The hound’s figure without a fixed outline slowly walked out from a corner. Perhaps because it had just completed a hunt, its body looked much stronger than at first. Facing the prey in front of it, it even It is not in a hurry to catch prey, but as if it is playing and teasing, relying on its strange way of action to avoid the magic that the opponent is constantly releasing.

Looking at the scene in front of him, combined with everything he had seen in the dream before, Xiuge suddenly had some new understanding of the lost era full of gods and gods, just like the three-tailed giant rat and Karl he had seen in the dream. Just like Rong Zhichu, those ancient creations now trapped in the dream sanctuary may have once been a part of the real ecology.

And this Dark Abyss Hound was most likely one of the most terrifying stalkers among Van En at that time.

At least judging from the current situation, those dependents who believe in the Mother Goddess of the Earth may have been on its prey list…
