Chapter 236 Hunting the Dragon
The Suktara Mage Tower on New Year's Day has not become deserted, and there are still many researchers who choose to work overtime.
Today is different from the past.
Duke stayed in the Suktala Mage Tower, waiting for others to come to visit, except that he went to the Mage Tower of Keyston, visited Keyston Rage, and visited Erwin at the Mage Tower of Erwin.
In the Five Towers Conference, he was ranked sixth, that is to say, there were only five people with higher status than him.
"New year and new weather, it's time to deal with the affairs that have been put on hold for a long time." After the New Year's Day, Keyston Raging Waves held the Five Towers Meeting.
Duke, who was notified, took the shuttle to the Union Tower.
As soon as you enter the interior of the United Tower, you will feel a kind of spirituality, wrapping yourself, which is the spirituality of the 3-ring tree king-the mysterious vine.
Being able to comprehend the vine of protection and mystery means getting the approval of the tree king.
After establishing breathing resonance with the tree king, Duke felt that everything in the entire United Tower was clearly presented.
Then Xiaoyi projected it onto the Dou Qi holographic screen.
The subtlety of the picture is like perspective. Except for the inability to outline the details and colors, most of the outlines can be highlighted.
"Your Excellency Duke."
"Mr. Williams."
In the spiritual elevator room, Duke met Williams, the chief director of the observation tower.
This old man believes in the way of health preservation, and basically rarely shows up in public. He likes to stay in his mage tower and study various potions. It is said that he alone sponsored ten mercenary regiments to help him collect resources in various regions.
After saying hello, the two entered the meeting room together.
Before Kiston Rage arrived, Duke found the place where his nameplate was placed, sat down, imitated Williams, closed his eyes and meditated.
A quarter of an hour later, all nine members of the Five Towers Conference arrived.
Kiston sat at the head and coughed lightly: "I called you here for a meeting today. There is only one theme of the meeting, and that is to subjugate the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon and avenge the three arcane mages Lannick, Biers, and Dzeko who were killed in Shenjiao City in the past."
Bernoulli heard the words, and interrupted directly: "Master Keyston, do we still need to discuss this? I have already reached an agreement with the Black Jade Scorpion Clan. From now on, the Black Jade Scorpion Clan will never invade my Heijiaohe Land again, so why bother!"
"This is not superfluous, this is the ardent expectation of everyone in Heijiaohe. We must not let the spirit beast that killed the arcane master continue to roam free!" Stephen Maverick immediately choked, "I don't think there is any need to discuss it anymore. Let's conquer the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon!"
"Conquering the Black Jade Scorpions will inevitably lead to casualties. It is unwise to do so!" Bernoulli reprimanded Stephen Maverick, then turned to look at Keyston, "My lord, why do you still insist on making the worst decision when there is a better choice?"
Seeing that Kiston was watching a show again, Bernoulli couldn't help but look at Erwin: "Your Excellency Erwin, do you also support this decision?"
Erwin sighed: "Rationally, I don't want to add more casualties, but emotionally, the hatred of Lannick and others must be reported, Your Excellency Bernoulli."
"Emotional emotion, if an arcane master can't even restrain his emotions, how can he insist on himself on the path of spiritual arcana!" Bernoulli yelled loudly, "And I have already given enough compensation to the family members of the three members of Lannik, isn't that enough!"
Jovis Lynx said indifferently: "Your Excellency Bernoulli, the life of the arcanist can only be repaid with the blood of spirit beasts!"
"I see your brain is full of paste!" Bernoulli stared.
In order to subdue the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon Clan, he almost sent all the members of the Five Towers Conference and paid a lot of benefits.
However, when I really had to make a decision, I realized that no one was on my side.
At this moment, he suddenly realized, and looked at Keyston coldly: "Your Excellency, Keyston, is this the unity of the Heijiaohe land that you once said?"
"How should I say it?" Keyston said in surprise.
"The arcane masters of the Heijiaohe land hugged and rejected me as an outsider, didn't they?" Bernoulli said coldly, "We humans tame spirit beasts and control spirit insects. This has been the case since ancient times. Why do we have to kill the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon when we come to my place?"
"You want to know the reason?" Kiston said leisurely, "Then I'll tell you, Bernoulli, I agree with what you said that humans tame spirit beasts and spirit insects."
"Since you agree, why reject my proposal?"
"The reason is very simple. You didn't tame the Black Jade Horseshoe crab." Kiston took a sip of water from his teacup before continuing, "You just reached a simple contract with the Black Jade Horseshoe crab, or an equal contract, which not only insulted the majesty of the Arcanist, but also..."
Kiston's tone became more and more serious: "If the Black Jade Scorpions are allowed to mix into human society, once they get out of control, the consequences will be disastrous."
"How could it get out of control? In time, the Black Jade Scorpions will definitely be assimilated by us!" Bernoulli blushed and retorted loudly.
Kiston said coldly: "You don't have a foolproof guarantee, and it's almost impossible for you to tame the Black Jade Horseshoe crab, so I won't accompany you on the adventure. Emotionally, the Black Jade Horseshoe crab must die, but intellectually, it still has to die!"
paused.
Kiston stared at Bernoulli, and said word by word: "Only a dead sub-dragon is a good sub-dragon!"
After finishing speaking, he ignored Bernoulli's reaction and placed the teacup heavily on the table: "Now, let's vote with a show of hands whether to conquer the Black Jade Horseshoe crab."
Williams and others raised their hands without hesitation.
Duke, who watched the show for a while, also raised his hand. The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon is already a sub-dragon, and it is impossible for such a spirit beast to be tamed.
Bernoulli looked around at the show of hands and sat down on the chair dejectedly.
After a long time, Keyston announced lightly: "Eight votes are in favor and one vote is against. I announce that I will start hunting the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon immediately!"
Stephen Yihu smiled, and looked at Bernoulli: "Your Excellency Bernoulli, the resolution has been passed, you have to do it yourself, and don't stand on the wrong side. This matter concerns all the arcanists in Heijiaohe. You and your family must choose carefully."
The expression on Bernoulli's face changed again and again.
It took him a long time before he gritted his teeth and responded: "I support the hunting of the Black Jade Horseshoe crab, and I will never disclose any information to the Black Jade Horseshoe crab, but you have to promise me that the body of the Black Jade Horseshoe crab will be handed over to me for disposal, and I want its blood!"
Heard the words.
Kiston smiled: "You need to start a family, and the blood of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon is of course your priority. Now that the opinions have been unified, then Bernoulli, you and I will go to Runwu City, and Lord Loren Sangovi, please come to the Emerald Sea Valley."
"Good!" Bernoulli nodded in agreement.
The meeting ended here, and everyone dispersed.
"Master Loren Sangovi, can you deal with the Black Jade Horseshoe crab?" Duke asked along the way as he left with Erwin.
"Master Loren is the 7th-ring morning star arcane teacher, and it is easy to deal with mere dragons." Erwin laughed, "In fact, even if you don't invite Lord Loren, invite a few 6th-ring sky arcane masters, you can still kill the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, but it is safer to ask Lord Loren to take action."
"When you kill, can you bring me one?"
"You also want to participate in dragon hunting. I'm afraid Lord Keyston will not allow it. You are only a level 2 arcane mage now. It is too dangerous to hunt dragons."
"Uh, if I take Lord Loren's battleship, I should be safe, right?" Duke asked again.
"If Lord Loren is willing to carry you, of course it will be safe. Even if a group of dragons attack Lord Loren's battleship, you will be safe."
The Seven Towers Federation is the kingdom of arcanists.
Although there is no 9-ring Sun Sun Arcane Teacher, the 7-ring Morning Star Arcane Teacher and the 8-ring Huiyue Arcane Teacher are enough to deal with all dangers.
Back to Suktara Mage Tower, Duke continued to study and research while waiting for the dragon hunt in peace.
When you have nothing to do, go to DreamWorks Film and Television Company to enjoy the newly released musical phantom drama in the newly opened phantom opera theaters in Shenjiao City.
In addition to "Little River Flows", there are many recorded tracks.
As a new form of entertainment, the Phantom Opera House opened after the year, and it really attracted many audiences, and the evaluation was very positive.
"Duke, the management of the company reported to me that they plan to start a new round of financing. They plan to use this financing to open the Phantom Opera House in all cities in the Fengxi field. At that time, they will focus on musical phantom dramas and seize the market first."
Kiriya and Duke took a walk together after dinner.
"Well, you can make up your own mind about business matters." Duke doesn't care about making money, he values the promotion of film and television technology.
Spirituality has begun to slowly feed back, helping his spiritual core quickly evolve the second ring.
There is no shackles from the 1st ring to the 2nd ring, and from the 2nd ring to the 3rd ring. As long as the knowledge of spiritual mysteries can keep up, the boat will continue to rise.
so.
Once the film and television technology is popularized, wait until it blooms everywhere and spirituality begins to feedback. Even if you don't do anything, Duke can be promoted to the third ring naturally.
"By the way, I heard from grandpa that you want to participate in the dragon hunt too?" Kylia asked.
"Yes, to increase knowledge and lay the foundation for spiritual mysteries." Duke responded with a smile, "I guess Lord Keyston also let you follow."
"Yes, grandpa said that the opportunity is rare, let all the arcanists in our family join him in the dragon hunt. Will you come to ride on grandpa's battleship then?" Kylia asked expectantly, "We can watch together."
"Well, I plan to take Lord Loren's battleship, and you can come with me when the time comes, it will be safer."
"Then... I'll go back and ask my grandpa."
"Um."
The Dragon Hunting Plan was passed after the year, but it was not until the beginning of spring in March that it received a reply from Loren Sangovi and officially launched it.
Duke is too weak to be part of the complete plan.
It was only after Loren Shangewei's battleship arrived in Shenjiao City that he took Kiria on board this huge battleship named "Fangcao".
Loren Sangovi personally received Duke.
This legendary figure in the field of wind breath is much more amiable than expected: "When you were canonized last year, I was not in the holy city of alchemy. I have been patrolling outside. It is a pity that I failed to meet the outstanding children in the field of wind breath. Now I finally got my wish."
"It's also my regret that I couldn't visit you personally." Duke replied.
"We've met now, haven't we?" Loren Sangovi had a gentle expression and a gentle tone, and turned to look at Kiria again, "Is this the little girl of the Raging Wave family?"
"My name is Kylia Nutao, my grandpa, Keyston Nutao, let me say hello to you, my lord!" Kylia responded respectfully.
"Little Lion showed off to me before that he has an excellent junior." Loren Sangovi nodded.
Beside him was an accompanying great arcane mage who was Loren Sangovi's assistant. He said with a smile, "My lord, Duke is the proud son of heaven, and Kiria is the daughter of heaven. You have met the best pair of young people in the Wind's Breath domain today."
Loren nodded and asked, "Duke, are you two a couple?"
Kiria looked at Duke.
Duke responded generously: "Yes, Kiria is my girlfriend."
"Well, the little lion is really quick." Loren smiled and stroked his beard, "The Nutao family has always been excellent in choosing marriage."
The battleship Fangcao departed from Shenjiao City, and soon joined the battleship Bibo and a group of airships from Shenjiao City, and flew to Cuihai Valley in a mighty manner.
During the journey, Loren Sangovi kept chatting with Duke and Kilia, like an old man with nothing to do.
Basically, they don't care about the upcoming dragon hunting operation.
All the communication and cooperation were handed over to his assistant of the great arcane mage to communicate with Keyston Nutao and others.
I don't know how long it has passed.
Fangcao, which was hiding in the clouds, finally received the signal and quickly swooped down from the clouds, and the Cuihai Valley was just below.
Loren got up from the chair, not tall, with a big belly, chubby like an old rich man: "Is it finally time to shoot? I haven't hunted dragons for many years, I really miss it...Pontiac, take care of the two children."
Assistant Pontiac responded: "Yes, my lord."
Then he turned around and smiled at Duke and Kiria: "Don't you guys want to watch the dragon hunt? Follow me and go to the battle cabin to watch."
"Thank you!" Duo pulled Kiria and followed.
The battleship has many battle compartments. Duke and Kylia each chose a battle compartment to watch the battle at the bow of the ship.
Pontiac saw that Duke was already in place, and said: "I'm going to fight with the adults. If you have any needs, you can call Mr. Hugo directly. Mr. Hugo is the battle spirit of Fangcao. If Mr. Hugo can't handle it, he will tell me."
"OK."
At this time, the Fangcao had already swooped over the Cuihai Valley. Through the glass of the battle cabin, Duke could clearly see that a group of black jade scorpions were being besieged by the airships from Heijiaohe.
Most of the black jade scorpions are 5th and 6th rings, and they fled in a hurry under the attack of the airship.
Among them, there were also several black jade scorpion kings with a level of 7 rings. They dared to launch a counterattack against the airship, but they were all dodged by the airship's flexible maneuvering.
Can't dodge, and there are arcane defenses to resist one or two.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a huge scorpion-shaped monster drilled out from the bare ground. It was the black jade horseshoe crab that Duke had seen before.
9 Ring Yalong.
The Black Jade Horseshoe crab has entered a state of rage, while avoiding arcane attacks in mid-air, while rushing towards the Cockroach in Bernoulli's Mage Tower.
Obviously, it thinks that Bernoulli has betrayed and deceived it.
The Cockroach did not dare to fight head-on with the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, and fled quickly. Bernoulli even cast the Ring of Projection, turning into a huge phantom of an arcanist, holding the Thunder Whip in his hand, and kept whipping the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon to protect the Cockroach from retreating.
"Roar!"
Black Jade Horseshoe crab roared loudly.
In the entire Cuihai Valley, almost all the hidden spirit insects were awakened by it, appeared on the battlefield, and launched a full-scale attack on all airships.
The Black Jade Scorpions are even more crazy.
However, it didn't take long for the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon to act fiercely. For a moment, everyone felt something and raised their heads to look at the sky.
Even the spirit insects in the valley are no exception.
I don’t know when, in the cloudy sky, a bright star lit up, even the clouds couldn’t stop its light.
The light projected by this star is like a cylinder, covering the entire battlefield.
Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon sensed the danger immediately, quickly abandoned the pursuit of the Cockroach, and then sprinted desperately in the direction where there were fewer airships.
Wait sprinted to the edge of the cylinder of light, but seemed to hit a wall and was bounced away.
It didn't believe in evil, and continued to hit the edge of the light, and then was bounced back, only then did it realize that it had been blocked.
looked up at the stars in the sky.
The black jade horseshoe crab rushed towards an airship like a frenzy, and then directly in front of it, several spiritual lights suddenly appeared.
next moment.
The spiritual light turned into a huge ice thorn, directly piercing the Black Jade Horseshoe crab. The Black Jade Horseshoe crab crazily twisted its body, and then swung its double pincers like long knives, crushing the ice thorn.
Don't wait to get out.
Spiritual light emerged from another direction, turned into a sharp thunder, pierced the carapace of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, and shocked half of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon's body into numbness.
The next process can be called a feast of arcane arts, constantly erupting in the front, back, left, right, and right of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, beating the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon dizzy, unable to escape, unable to hide, and can only twist its body incapable of rage.
"Tsk tsk!"
Duke looked at the scene below, and was amazed in his heart: "Is this the method of the Morning Star Arcane Teacher? Arcane magic is haunting!"
There is no Loren Sangowi on the battlefield, but it seems to be everywhere. The powerful arcane can be released at will. There is no doubt that only Loren Sangowi can have such a method, which belongs to the method of the arcane teacher.
The stars above the head are also like a hood, covering the battlefield, so that the Black Jade Horseshoe crab has nowhere to escape.
Boom boom boom!
A round of arcane focus fire.
Even Duke took out the Sand Eagle, switched armor-piercing bullets, and cooperated with the tracking bullets to shoot continuously at the wound on the Black Jade Horseshoe crab. Although it felt that the power was still too small to cause too much damage, he still emptied dozens of magazines in a row.
It's rare to participate in the dragon hunting operation, how can I not get an assist.
And I can personally feel how powerful a sub-dragon like the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon is in terms of defense.
"It's a pity that the research and development of Sand Eagle 2.0 has not been completed. Now the effective killing of bullets is only limited to spirit beasts with ring 5 and below. Even if you shoot the wound of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, it will not expand the injury much." Dozens of bullet magazines were emptied again, and Duke gasped.
The stronger the sand eagle's power, the higher the consumption of his own spiritual energy. He fired more than a hundred magazines continuously, and his body was somewhat exhausted.
Suddenly.
On both sides of the berserk Black Jade Horseshoe crab, there are two huge hands condensed, which are somewhat similar to the 1-ring arcane-mage's hand.
But these two hands seemed to be real hands, directly grasping the two long knife-like pincers of the Black Jade Horseshoe crab.
Fix the Black Jade Horseshoe crab.
Then, in front of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, a phantom of an arcane mage condensed, and a colorful arcane light condensed in the hands of the phantom.
And continue to push the arcane light forward.
The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon seemed to have a strong sense of crisis. At that time, he chose to use his supernatural powers to transform himself into an obsidian-like sculpture.
Boom.
Colorful arcane rays of light bloomed, like laser cannons, bombarding the obsidian sculpture.
Crack, the obsidian sculpture was pierced on the spot, and then shattered, leaving behind a black jade horseshoe crab that was one size smaller.
Black Jade Horseshoe crab is dying.
But those big hands still firmly grasped its two long knives and pincers, making even struggling a luxury.
Next.
The phantom of the arcanist grasped into the void, and a chisel composed of lightning was formed immediately, and with a single blow, it was chiseled on the body of the black jade horseshoe crab.
"Hiss..."
The Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon roared up to the sky, and stopped abruptly halfway through the roar. His body, which was originally pitch black, was completely burnt.
Smoke curls from the mouthparts.
died.
The mighty 9-ring sub-dragon was killed in an understatement like this. The Fangcao battleship hovered in the air, and the star that blocked the battlefield slowly dissipated.
The phantom of the Arcane Mage dissipated, as did the two big hands.
The Cockroach quickly rushed into the air, intercepted the falling corpse of the Black Jade Limulus, and then quickly approached the battleship Fangcao.
Bernoulli himself stepped out of the airship, cast arcane spells, and dragged the body of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon into the battleship Fangcao.
Then he found Loren Sangovi who had already left the battle cabin, and bowed: "Master Loren, please work hard again and help me refine the blood of the Black Jade Horseshoe crab."
Loren Sangovi nodded indifferently: "This is the meaning of the title."
Immediately went to the corpse of the Black Jade Horseshoe crab, and Duke and Kilia followed quickly, watching how Loren Sangovi extracted the blood of the sub-dragon.
Loren took out a tube of injection and injected it into the body of the Black Jade Limulus dragon.
After a while, the body of the Black Jade Limulus dragon lit up fluorescent spots in different parts like fireflies.
The Pontiac assistant handed over a new needle tube, and Loren quickly inserted the needle tube into the fluorescent part, and then drew out the blood bit by bit. Twenty or thirty tubes of blood were drawn, and the process of disposing of the Black Jade Limulus dragon's body was completed.
"Next, I will bring the blood back. After about ten days, you can come to Runwu City to receive the blood fusion potion." Loren Sangovi said.
Bernoulli bowed and responded: "My lord, I will hold a banquet in Shenjiao City..."
"No need, time is limited, I'll go back to deal with the blood first." Loren Shangewei said, and began to see off the guests, "You go back, and in addition, take Duke and Kylia back. Fangcao will not stop, and return directly to Runwu City."
Bernoulli nodded yes, then looked at Duke and Kiria.
Kylia was okay, she had been standing silently by the side, but Duke was already squatting on the ground, studying the broken body of the Black Jade Horseshoe crab.
"Your Excellency Duke, it's time to go." Bernoulli said quickly.
Duke got up and left reluctantly. It was rare to see Yalong's corpse, and he wanted to stay a little longer to collect the data of the corpse.
It's a pity that Loren Sangovi is busy returning, and he is too embarrassed to hold back.
After thanking Loren Sangovi again, he left with Bernoulli and returned to the airship Cockroach first. I don't have any friendship with Bernoulli, so I took the shuttle to the battleship Bibo.
Kiston Nutao, who had played soy sauce for a while, saw Duke, and asked with a smile, "How about it, did you see any tricks from watching the excitement?"
"It's hard to resist the power of an arcane instructor!" Duke exclaimed.
"Yes, there are sub-dragons all over the wild jungle. Without the protection of the arcane teacher, how can we humans occupy so many spiritual places."
Sitting on the sofa, Duke chatted with Keyston: "My lord, what is that star?"
"That is the star cage of the morning star arcane master." Keyston explained, "Ordinary arcane masters study arcane arts, great arcane masters study projection, and arcane masters study fields. Morning star arcane masters can induce the power of stars to build star cages, and Huiyue arcane masters can even induce moon power to create holy places under the moon."
Kiriya asked curiously: "If someone is promoted to the 9th ring, wouldn't it be possible to activate the power of the sun?"
"There is such an inference, but who can cross the extreme barrier of the 8th ring and explore the mysteries of the 9th ring." Keyston shook his head.
Duke wanted to say, "I can."
But in line with the principle of keeping a low profile, he didn't say it out loud.
Continue to inquire about the details on the battlefield, fully understand the fighting methods of the Morning Star Arcane Teacher, and gain a lot of insight.
Although the battleship Fangcao has left, the battle of hunting the dragon is not over yet, and there is still finishing work to be done. The airship brigade headed by the Bibo continued to attack the surroundings, killing the remaining individuals of the Black Jade Scorpions, and completely cleared the Emerald Sea Valley.
Duke stood in front of the porthole, looking at the small lake in the center of Cuihai Valley.
The black jade horseshoe crab has been hunted down, and the spiritual spring has been completely exposed to human hands. Then, it's time to rescue Xiaoji's grandma.
