The sun is high - NobleMTL

Under normal circumstances, people always need to rest quietly when they are full. Overly violent movements can easily cause them to vomit out all the contents in their stomachs.

But “eating” on the magical level is completely different.

In this case, it is inefficient and dangerous to rely on one’s own ability to dissipate slowly, so spellcasters often choose to consume excessive magic power through violent “venting”.

This is what Shuge is doing now.

Facing the many dark abyss creatures that charged towards him out of anger, Shuge not only did not retreat, but actively launched attacks on them. Tentacles condensed from the deep fog continued to appear around Shuge. .

The magic that makes up these tentacles is special.

They are actually the “waste” and “residues” that Xiuge removed from the cold magic power that he had just absorbed.

Compared with normal magic, this type of magic is more chaotic and violent. They are the residue left behind when the will of despair surges, so they naturally become the carrier of disordered and chaotic emotions. .

In the current environment, spending time and energy to purify and transform this part of magic is definitely not a wise choice.

So Xiuge chose a more efficient method – he decided to consume these powers on the spot.

Supported by the pure magic power of the Dark Abyss, Charron’s Touch, like the Running Rat, took on a completely different form from the past.

These tentacles have become thicker and stronger, and the destructive power and lethality they bring are also more astonishing.

The special magic power makes them extremely unstable. After every attack, a considerable part of the tentacles will quickly collapse or disintegrate. However, under the control and control of Shuge, these black shadows with astonishing destructive power will always remain. It is able to continuously appear from the “void” beside Xiuge.

Soon those dark abyss predators who dared to attack Shuge paid an extremely painful price for their arrogance.

The battlefield that was originally empty due to being violently absorbed by Shuge is now filled with floating mist again, and that is the residue left behind after those Dark Abyss creations were killed by Shuge.

“call……”

Xiuge waved his hand, and the restless shadow tentacles around him stopped. Now, there were no “challengers” left in front of him. The remaining Dark Abyss creations either started to flee or hid far away here. At the edge of the area, carefully “gnaw” some residue.

After this venting, Xiuge finally got rid of the influence of those negative emotions. Before he could make the next move, Theseus’s voice sounded again.

“It’s time for you to retreat. There was a lot of movement just now. Some big guys have already begun to approach here…”

Before Theseus could finish speaking, a huge shadow slowly turned out from behind a huge rock directly in front of Xiuge.

This is a nightmare bear.

A very common and extremely terrifying dangerous existence in the Dark Abyss Wasteland.

If the giant “flounder” that Shuge encountered before is the overlord of the wasteland sky, then the nightmare bear, a wasteland beast that can always integrate with the environment and is extremely aggressive, can be called the overlord. He is the king on the ground.

During this journey, Shuge had seen it several times.

From the initial storm in the wilderness to the several dangers encountered during the journey, the figures of the Nightmare Bears will always appear from time to time.

Just as the palace hounds are not really dogs, the so-called nightmare bears are certainly not bears in the true sense.

It has a body as huge as a hill. When it moves, it will stand upright like a giant. On the top of its body, there is an extremely huge head – this head does not have an entity, and its outline is in Most of the time it’s blurry, looking like a giant ball of mist.

In the center of this foggy sphere, there is an exaggerated-sized eye pupil “embedded”. This pupil can float and rotate freely inside the fog to observe different directions.

The similarity between the Nightmare Bears and Van En’s bears lies in their dormant habits.

According to Theseus, these stupid and dangerous guys often start to sleep immediately after noticing the traces of a storm in the wasteland. Once the storm passes, they will quickly wake up and start their most violent hunting cycle.

Unfortunately, the nightmare bear Xiuge encountered now was in this state.

The hill-like figure turned out from behind the huge rock. Then, the eyeball in the center of the foggy head began to rotate at an extremely fast speed. It swept over the creations that were escaping here, and also It swept away the “scavengers” who stayed at the edge of the area for a few scraps of food, but it was obvious that these guys couldn’t satisfy its thirst for magic at all, and naturally they didn’t meet its hunting requirements.

The rotating eyeballs slowly stopped, and the chaotic pupils composed of twisting shadows became concrete.

Xiuge stood there, staring quietly at this huge weird eyeball. Now, he could completely feel the magic trembling happening around him – it was obvious that this huge thing in front of him was brewing something.

Shuge did not feel panicked or frightened by the approaching threat.

In fact, based on several previous encounters on the road, Xiuge has confirmed that although the Dark Abyss creation of the Nightmare Bear looks extremely dangerous, it is still within the range of his own strength.

As long as he is willing, he can even defeat the opponent in front of him in a head-on confrontation, but the problem is that any fight and battle that takes place in this dark abyss wasteland may become an excellent bait.

If Shuge doesn’t want to cause the trouble here to continue to expand, then the most important thing he should do right now is to cause as much damage to this big guy as possible and evacuate quickly.

In this way, the severely injured Nightmare Bear will become the new target of the wasteland creatures, and Shuge himself will also be able to obtain a relatively stable and relaxed retreat environment.

The ferocious creatures of the Dark Abyss know nothing about Shuge’s thoughts. As a hungry and greedy predator, the Nightmare Bear now has only one goal, which is to capture the prey in front of him at all costs.

This is the key to maintaining its dominance in the wilderness!

As a result, the huge body trembled, and the weird dark figure stood upright. Countless strange limbs of varying sizes and vague outlines grew out of its body, and they kept twisting as the nightmare bear moved forward.

Not only that, in the monster’s abdomen, a crack quickly opened, and what protruded from the inside was a body that looked like some kind of giant insect.

It also has limbs growing on it, and can directly touch the ground. These limbs swing like normal legs and feet, helping the bloated body behind it to move forward. What is even more disgusting is the thing that grows on the head of this “insect” huge mouthparts.

This seems to be the true body of the Nightmare Bear, the core it uses to eat.

Amidst bursts of roaring sounds, this huge twisted monster rolled towards Xiuge. The two ordinary beasts who were frightened and failed to escape in time were in bad luck. Those limbs were not spared. These snacks were brought to the mouth, rolled up directly, stuffed into the huge ferocious mouthparts, and smashed into pieces in a few times.

Shuge saw this scene in his eyes. Without saying a word, he raised his hand, and a large amount of Charron’s Touch spurted out. They twisted with each other, and once again turned into a deadly huge spear, stabbing the target’s abdomen fiercely. out.

At the same time, weird and complicated magic lines spread out in all directions with Xiuge as the center. This is a special magic recorded by the mad poet Azifu in “The Poetry of the Night”.

The cold and disorderly magic power has undergone a qualitative transformation in these lines, and they have been temporarily given stable properties, and show an abnormally bright light in the rich darkness of the wasteland.

The mad poet calls this magic the “Wanderer’s Bonfire”. According to him, this is a magic created by a group of people who once wandered in the wilderness in the past, specifically to deter and fight against the most ferocious predators.

The huge spear transformed from Charron’s Touch was defeated by the strong limbs swung by the Nightmare Bear with a loud noise, but then, what appeared in front of it was the strange and bright light.

The strange warm fire seemed to be the only bright color in this cold and oppressive world. It spread rapidly along the lines constructed by Shuge, and finally formed a huge circle.

The advancing Nightmare Bear stopped in its tracks and tentatively stretched out one of its limbs toward the ring of fire in front of it. At the moment of contact, a miserable howl resounded throughout the wasteland.

Xiuge saw those bright fires spreading towards the body of the nightmare bear at an extremely fast speed, as if its body was the perfect fuel for these warm flames.

For a pure creature of the dark abyss like the Nightmare Bear, the burning of the body and the consumption of power will undoubtedly bring extremely exaggerated pain.

Before the flames spread to its body, the Nightmare Bear cut off its ignited limb from the root in an extremely rough manner. Then it suddenly took two steps back, and the insect mouthparts on its abdomen were widely opened. , a thick fog that looked extremely dirty surged out from the inside of the mouthpiece, and violently hit the bright ring of fire.

These thick fogs are actually made up of countless tiny flying insects. Their numbers are so exaggerated that they directly aggregate into thick fog. When these insect swarms come into contact with the firelight, they emit bursts of shrill cries. With roar.

“This is the key to the nightmare bears being able to sleep for a long time…the souls and wills that were devoured by them in the past are mostly stored in their bodies. This is their backup ration and weapon.”

Theseus explained: “If I guess correctly, these screams you hear now basically come from a long, long time ago. I’m afraid they are all victims of previous rounds of hunting.”

Xiuge looked at the bright flames he created in front of him, and his expression became a little complicated: “I never expected that those ethnic groups wandering in the dark abyss would also long for warmth and light…”

“What’s so strange about this?”

Theseus smiled and said: “People who are in the light are often unaware of it, and when they really face the shadow of the dark abyss, they naturally begin to crave fire.”

“This sounds familiar.”

“Hey, Dark Abyss is better at educating people, right?”

Shuge smiled silently. He always felt that there was something in Theseus’ words, but it was obviously not the right time to continue talking about this topic.

Listening to the shrill howls from the distant past coming from the front, Xiuge flicked his right hand and pulled out the “Hound’s Fang” from the void.

With the injection of a large amount of pure Dark Abyss magic power, the smooth surface of this weapon immediately showed lines that resembled claws and fangs. This was also an abnormality that had never appeared before.

Obviously, this pure dark abyss magic also brings exaggerated benefits to “Hound’s Teeth”.

“Stop sleeping, it’s time to work.”

Shuge whispered an order to the inside of the disc, and after receiving a low growl from the palace hound in response, he decisively pulled the trigger of the “Hound’s Fang” straight ahead.

The hound’s violent roar was obscured by the surging magical flames, but in the next moment, the bullet with the power of annihilation tore a huge gap in the ring of fire, and then, the invisible ferocious bite acted on the body of the nightmare bear. above.

Three bullets were fired in a row, the first of which successfully hit the insect body protruding from the belly of the nightmare bear, and the mouthparts that were spraying thick fog shattered on the spot.

The second bullet should have penetrated directly into the belly of the nightmare bear, but it was blocked by its multiple limbs.

As a result, the third bullet immediately turned towards the limbs used to support the huge body of the Nightmare Bear. The strength characteristics of annihilation caused the thick “thigh” to break on the spot, so the huge body fell forward and hit hard. On this wasteland of bones.

The results of the battle were gratifying, but the quickly repaired gaps and limbs also showed that the nightmare bear was not as fragile as it seemed, and the “food reserves” accumulated in its body were enough to quickly restore it to its original state.

But the goal of practicing cultivation has been achieved.

Now, there is once again a huge commotion in this originally extremely silent wasteland. In the distant horizon, the flat shadow that once left a deep impression on Shuge appears again, and the “scavengers” who had been hiding before have also appeared one after another. , looking at the giant bear that seemed to have been severely injured.

So Xiuge no longer paid attention to his opponent. He snapped his fingers and directly summoned the running rat. He quickly bypassed the huge body that fell to the ground and slipped away into the distance.

What Xiuge didn’t know was that at the same time, just as he was calling out the bright flames of the campfire, there were countless pairs of surprised eyes looking towards the wilderness in the tall mountain peak that he took as his destination.
