Chapter 312 Looking for Yalong
The grip of immortality dissipated, but the feeling of invincibility lingered in Duke's heart.
He lowered his head and glanced at his feet. The power of the Immortal Grip almost completely crushed the soil under his feet, turning it into a flour-like existence.
“Hoo!”
"Strong will make you stronger, but the consumption of the Immortal Grip is a lot." Duke looked at the spiritual energy in his spiritual sea, which suddenly dropped by one level, and sighed in his heart, "Release the Immortal Grip ten times, lasting ten minutes. I'm afraid I'll collapse."
As a 4th-level arcane earth mage, it is still a bit too reluctant to release the 7th-level forbidden spell - Grasp of Immortality.
but.
The Indestructible Grip can be used to attack and retreat, which really makes Duke feel more secure.
“Where can I go in this world?” Duke circulated his fighting spirit, turned into white wings, and continued to fly west regardless.
The abundant and surging fighting spirit almost never runs out.
One hundred kilometers, two hundred kilometers, three hundred kilometers, Duke was flying at high speed, close to the forest on the ground, and his breathing method continued to resonate in the forest within a kilometer or two, looking for powerful spiritual beasts lurking in the dense forest. .
finally.
Three hundred and fifty kilometers away, a red light spot appeared on the Dou Qi holographic screen, which was marked by Xiao Yi as a spiritual beast of level 7 or above.
After searching carefully, Duke soon found the chosen spiritual beast on an exposed rock on the back of the hillside.
Like a monkey, like a dog, a bit like a baboon.
The body is as huge as a hill, with muscles and sharp fangs. He is lying on the rock basking in the spring sun.
"The new species of spirit beast, based on the breath resonance, is approximately at level 7." Duke already had a rough idea of the strength of this spirit beast from the Dou Qi holographic screen, "Looking at your baboon appearance, I'd call it King Kong Baboon." Bar."
"Hmph." The King Kong baboon also discovered Duke falling from the sky, and immediately jumped up from the rock with a start, exhaling from its nostrils.
Its spiritual sense told it that the little creature in front of it was in great danger.
However, before the Vajra Baboon could prepare for defense, he saw the small creature in front of him suddenly raised his arm, spread his fingers, and then clenched his fist heavily.
next moment.
The space around the Vajra Baboon seemed to be torn open, and five thick black fingers were grabbing at it. The black luster was made up of tiny cracks in the space.
“Roar!” The Vajra Baboon wanted to escape and at the same time released his own solidification arcana.
But the broken space could not support its arcane magic at all, and time did not allow it. Five thick palms had already stretched out from outside the space, and just like Duke's action just now, he clenched his fists heavily and enveloped the Vajra Baboon.
When Duke grabbed himself before, the Immortal Grip was only the size of a person.
At this moment, when Duke was holding the Vajra Baboon, the Immortal Grip was as big as a hill, just enough to completely cover the Vajra Baboon.
The gap closed, and the roar of the Vajra Baboon suddenly stopped, leaving only the sharp noise of space rupture.
Duke was suspended in mid-air, his arms still stretched forward and his fists clenched.
He watched as the immortal grip he released had condensed into a black cage, engulfing the Vajra Baboon. The exposed rocks on the ground were also rapidly shattered by the spread of the power of the black cage.
This blow was like a shattering of heaven and earth.
“Very good!” Duke was very satisfied with this.
At the next moment, his eyes flashed, and he clenched his outstretched fist hard, as if he wanted to burst the air in his fist.
The black cage formed by the immortal grip in front of him quickly collapsed inward as Duke clenched his fist, as if an explosion occurred from the outside inward.
Boom!
The space cracks came into contact with each other, forming a darker dot, and then returned to normal within a thousandth of a second.
Everything is gone.
Including the vajra baboon swallowed by the Immortal Grip, as well as part of the rock. Only rock fragments broken into powder were left in place.
“Hoo!”
While Duke was satisfied, he was not without a trace of shock in his heart: "One blow! One blow from the Immortal Grip destroyed the 7-ring spirit beast - Vajra Baboon. It was completely destroyed, not even the dregs were left, as if There has never been a vajra baboon in heaven and earth.”
The 7-ring spirit beasts in his memory were already extremely powerful beings.
In the early years, Snake Head Town was invaded by the 7-ring spirit beast - the Black Jade Scorpion King. An unknown number of people died in a casual attack.
In the end, it was Bernoulli's ghostly clone that finally managed to repel the Black Jade Scorpion King. Of course, it was only repelled, not even injured.
And now.
"I only have one strike!" Duke's heart surged. "The 7th ring spirit beast disappeared into thin air. Even the 8th ring spirit beast will not be able to escape this blow when faced with the Grasp of Immortality!"
Of course, with his current methods and the violent mode of the three-ring sand eagle, he can barely kill the eight-ring spirit beast. But it is definitely not as easy and freehand as the Immortal Grip. It is like a **** above the nine heavens who can wipe out any existence with a wave of his hand.
“I don’t know how the Grasp of Immortality will perform against the 9-ring Wurm!” Duke sighed.
Spiritual beasts can naturally solidify arcane spells, but they are limited to basic arcane spells and compound arcane spells. In other words, even 7th and 8th ring spirit beasts can only release the strongest arcane spells of 6th ring. level, only Yalong can break through.
This is also the reason why arcane mages can leapfrog and kill spiritual beasts. The solidified arcane spells have limited strength and limited flexibility. They are really no match for arcane mages who specialize in arcane spells.
What's more, arcane mages can also use arcane weapons and other means to carry out dimensionality reduction attacks on spiritual beasts.
"When a spiritual beast grows to level 9, it can comprehend magical powers. This is an ability more magical than forbidden magic, and it is full of strange things." Duke recalled the information about Yalong, "For example, the tail needle of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon can make oneself Transformed into an obsidian-like state, you can avoid the shocking blow of Christian Fury with the help of the arcane weapon."
The first time he participated in dragon hunting, Shenjiao City was attacked by an insect wave.
That time was the attack launched by the 9-ring Wurm-Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon.
Finally, Christian Raging Waves used his 5th-ring arcane weapon - Red Sun, and barely managed to repel the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon with a nearly self-destructive attack.
At that time, when the red sun came, the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon sensed the danger and directly used its tail pincer to give itself an injection. Then the magical power came and it directly turned into an obsidian-like statue to withstand the huge explosion power of the red sun.
Kiston Raging Wave's 5th-ring arcane weapon - Red Sun, compresses the spiritual energy in the elemental state, thereby triggering a huge explosion.
It is a one-time arcane weapon.
The power can definitely reach the 7th level forbidden spell.
But the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon resisted the coming of the red sun. It was only because its body shrank by one size and it was frightened that it quickly escaped.
If he really didn't escape, I'm afraid it's hard to say what the outcome of that insect wave attack would be.
"No matter what, with the 7-ring forbidden technique - Immortal Grip, and my three-ring sand eagle, Yalong and I can definitely fight!" Duke has clearly felt the power of the Immortal Grip. , and then set out to return to Oak Tooth Mountain.
The first thing I did when I returned to Oak Tooth Mountain was to give Loren Sankago some information.
However, San Kagome's floating city is suspended in the sky and cannot directly establish a ring of light and information with the ground. The light word has hit the Junmon City Union Tower.
Loren Sankagome is not only the guardian of the Wind Breath Realm, but also the chief governor of the Union Tower of Runmon City.
Soon, his assistant sent Duke's news to Sankagoi's floating city.
Immediately afterwards, in the Duke Sage Mage Tower, the sky copy ring left by Loren Sankagome was activated, and the clone of Loren Sankagome arrived.
“Your Excellency Duke, are you looking for me?”
"Yes, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Duke showed no politeness. There is no need for politeness among the stars and prophets. "I am going to hunt a dragon myself. I hope you can help me find a dragon. In addition, help me find a dragon." I sweep the formation."
"You, hunt the dragon?" Loren Sankagome was surprised, "How could you have such an idea?"
In his opinion, Duke is drifting.
It is true that Duke's talent is unprecedented and unprecedented, but so far, Duke is only a level 4 earth arcane mage and has no qualifications for hunting dragons.
"Just to feel the strength of Yalong." Duke saw the other party's doubts in the other party's eyes, but the specific reason was difficult to explain, so he had to find an excuse casually, "This is related to the experiment I am conducting. Data needs to be collected.”
With these words, Loren Sankagome felt relieved: "Okay, I'll find you a dragon... By the way, are you studying the blood spirit formation?"
Having been researching the Blood Spirit Formation for almost a year, the secret cannot be kept secret.
Nowadays, Duke's every move is closely watched by countless people, especially the various experiments, which almost everyone is watching.
It’s not that I want to pry into the secrets, but I am silently looking forward to Duke’s achievement of another ring level. Even if it does not reach the ring level, it can still meet the expectations of many people if it reaches the level of film and television technology and lightsaber technology.
It can be said that now the whole world is counting on Duke to reach new heights on the path of exploration of spiritual arcana.
"The research on the blood spirit formation has reached a bottleneck. I plan to find another way and start with the Yalong." Duke said half-truthfully.
He has indeed thought about trying to perfect the blood spirit formation by starting from the spiritual power of Yalong's energy and blood.
After all, compared to ordinary spiritual beasts, the spiritual power of Yalong's blood and blood is more powerful, and it is more stimulating to the operation of the blood spirit formation.
“I understand.” Loren Sankagome nodded.
Then he laughed and said: "I am also a formation sage, but in the field of formation, I have not been able to make any progress for more than a hundred years. Today I will look for Yalong for you. I hope you can study the bleeding spirit formation and let you I’ve learned a lot.”
“Thank you, Lord Loren, for your help.”
"They are all serving the spiritual arcana, so you are welcome." After Loren Sankago finished speaking, he dispersed the clone shadow without much pause, "Just wait for my news."
After informing Loren Sankagome, Duke waited patiently in Cuihai City.
The two clones of the earth copy ring and the advanced copy ring are activated back and forth, and they go to the Arcane Supreme Tower and the battleship Three Rings to ensure their own work.
I am sitting in the Duke Sage Mage Tower, discussing life events with my girlfriend Kelia Furious Waves, teaching the female student Novena Yingzhu step by step, and occasionally taking time to give advice to Agnes Ice Crown who comes to ask for advice. I am happy here.
“My lord.” Cowley came to pay his respects.
“The Pioneering War is over, what title have you received?”
In addition to focusing on his own understanding of spiritual arcane magic, the arcane mage also focuses on the continuation of his bloodline family.
He continued: "I invited a medicine sage from Runwu City to refine the bloodline of the 5-ring spiritual beast - the colorful stone tiger for a few of my incompetent descendants. In the future, I will return to the sea of true spirituality, and I will also invite the prophet Your Excellency can protect the Shihu family a little or two.” The Colorful Stone Tiger and the Colorful Panhu are close relatives, but their bloodline level is one level lower, which is just suitable for the newly established small aristocracy.
The level of the bloodline is too high, and it will be difficult for future generations to awaken, and it will not be effective.
"You and I are old acquaintances. After you leave, I will naturally take care of the Shihu family." Duke responded calmly.
Cauli immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "With the protection of the adults, the Shihu family can establish a foothold in the Black Jiao River."
Duke's life span is at least several hundred years, and his power will become stronger and stronger. The Shihu family does not need to cling to its thighs or even a hair on its thighs to prosper in the Black Dragon River.
Duke politely said: "Stay for lunch."
Cawley quickly thanked him and left the Duke Sage Mage Tower.
As soon as he left, Suktara came over with his hind legs. He seemed to be emotionally touched: "Cawley is getting old. Speaking of which, he is several years younger than me, but now he has left before me."
“Birth, old age, illness and death, everything is a spiritual destiny.” Duke comforted.
"I'm not afraid of death, and I've been prepared to die long ago. Thanks to your spiritual blessing, I can live for a few more decades." Suktara said with a smile, "I have already made money in this life, and the teacher has no Pity."
She babbled: "Now, in addition to helping you take care of the mage tower, I also watch you go further and further on the road of spiritual arcana, climbing one peak after another."
“Actually, teacher, you can continue to climb the peak. You broke through the fog of spiritual arcana yourself, rather than taking the path of spirituality.”
"Teacher's talent is very clear to me." Suktara shook his head, "In the Black Flood River Land, excluding you, I think the smartest person is Erwin. It's a pity that even Erwin has been wasting his time in the fourth ring of the Earth. Master, you can’t move any further, let alone me.”
After a pause, Suktara shook his head again and said with a smile: "But Erwin finally got what he wanted. He was canonized as a learned sage, and he has no regrets in this life."
Speaking of which, it is accompanied by the influence of Duke.
Three sages have emerged in the entire Black Dragon River land. In addition to Duke, Suktala has been awarded the title of Alchemist Sage, and now Erwin has also been awarded the title of Erudite Sage.
And with the Duke Sage Mage Tower, more experiments are being carried out one after another, and more sages may continue to emerge.
Nowadays, when it comes to Black Dragon River Land and Cuihai City, many people regard this place as a border holy land.
It certainly cannot be compared with the Holy City of Offa, but among cities of the same level, it is definitely the most dazzling pearl.
“Have the teacher asked Erwin if he plans to stay in Shenjiao City or settle in the Holy City of Offa?” Duke asked.
Every sage is a leader in the field of spiritual arcana. It is the choice of most sages to go to the Holy City of Arcana to receive broader spiritual arcana.
Suktala shook his head: "He is still considering it, but in my opinion, it is more likely to go to the Holy City of Arcane. It has always been the center of the Seven Towers Federation and the frontier of spiritual arcana. He went to Can Use some punches."
Duke smiled: "If he goes to the Holy City of Offa, it means that Erwin still has hope for the fifth ring, and I will support him to go."
"It depends on his own wishes. If he does not go to the Holy City of Offa, Lord Keyston is prepared to abdicate and let Erwin take charge of the overall situation." Suktara said.
“Well, that’s also a good choice.”
Following Duke's resignation from the chief executive position of the Union Tower in Cuihai City, as a prophet, he has basically become aloof and no longer participates in the transfer of power in the Black Dragon River Land.
So, he didn’t care who took over the throne when Christian Furious Tide abdicated.
Anyway, no matter who takes over, they will come to Oak Tooth Mountain to pay homage to the mountain.
Suktara then rambled on about some people and things in the Black Flood River. With the release of the Lingxi Road, the chiefs of the five towers in the two cities in the Black Flood River have been appointed by Earth Arcana mages.
Old 3rd level arcane mages have either gone through the road of Lingxi and succeeded in smuggling; or they have learned from Kaoli and established a family after failing to smuggle in and no longer participate in the government affairs of the Black Dragon River.
"Klarinda, that kid is unwilling." Suktala continued to chatter, "He used the Spiritual Path to smuggle into the earth's arcane mage and reshape the spiritual core. But he was not willing to stay on the earth for the rest of his life. Arcane Mage.”
“Aren’t you willing to give in?” Duke smiled.
"Yes, I heard that he is going to travel... In fact, this kid was also a genius in his early years, and he was very ambitious. If his spiritual core had not been shattered by Yalong, his achievements would not have been too low. He wants to travel and take the opportunity to rush into the world. I can understand it if I rush to the arcane mage of the ocean."
“Wish him good luck.”
After seeing off Suktara who had finally finished chatting, Duke turned on the photoscope in the office and watched the photoscope program.
There are now more than 100 optical viewing platforms to choose from.
However, adhering to the principle that knowledge requires payment, except for the Seven Towers Optical Observation Station and the Twelve Realm Optical Observation Station, all local optical observation stations require paid subscriptions—only local optical observation stations do not require additional subscriptions for local residents.
certainly.
The photoscope in Duke's office has been subscribed to all the photoscopes, and he can watch whichever channel he wants.
In his spare time, Duke always turns on the photoscope.
Not to watch it myself, but to show it to Xiao Yi, so that Xiao Yi can absorb more knowledge of spiritual arcana through the light viewing program.
“The Golden Empire and the Sea Soul Empire are having violent friction in the border mountains. Stars have already participated in the war... It is reported that three large spiritual springs were discovered close to each other on the border between the two countries. Both countries claim that this place belongs to their own territory..."
At this time, international news was being broadcast on the Seven Towers Optical Television Station.
There are eighteen human regimes in the Wilderness Continent, and wars and frictions are indispensable. In history, there have been many wars to destroy countries in order to compete for spiritual spring resources.
"Our country's Third Arcane Assistance Corps, stationed in the Golden Empire, has intervened in the war between the two countries and is ready to mediate at any time." The news host introduced in a straight tone, "Next is the Third Arcane Assistance Corps - the Legion Commander. Screenshot of Bossidov being interviewed."
Bosidov, the 7th-level Morning Star arcane instructor, leads the Arcane Assistance Legion all year round.
"The location of the Three Mouth Spring is the spiritual guide for mankind. I personally hope that the Golden Empire and the Sea Soul Empire can sit down and have a good discussion, put aside their disputes and jointly develop." Bossidov was wearing leather armor and dressed as a knight, "The Yalong here is very It is rich in resources and will definitely become a fertile land after development.”
“What if the two countries are unwilling to accept mediation?” The reporter who interviewed him was also a fool, and his questions were relatively direct.
Bosidov replied honestly: "I will lead the Arcane Assistance Third Legion and take action at any time."
Duke wanted to complain, is everyone so brave, but the screen of the light camera suddenly switched and showed a high-altitude bird's-eye view of Sankou Spring.
One of the towering trees instantly caught Duke's attention.
"This...isn't this a tree king I possessed before? The shape of the tree is exactly the same!" Duke was surprised and could determine the specific location of the tree king corresponding to a star. "When I have time, I have to go and take a look. Look, let’s take a look at the war between the two countries.”
It would be great if you could hunt a few dragons by the way.
His strength has greatly increased now, and he is already a little wandering. All day long, he is thinking about hunting dragons.
Fortunately, Loren Sankagome's efficiency was unparalleled. Only three days had passed before his clone arrived and informed Duke that a dragon had been locked.
"In the mountains to the north of the rock cave, someone found traces of a dragon. It was a lizard-type dragon. Because that area has not been developed yet, I ignored it for the time being." Loren Sankagome said, "It's me. Come to pick you up, or should you and I meet in Gravel City?"
“Let’s meet at Gravel City, hurry up.” Duke replied.
He did not take the battleship Three Rings later because the battleship Three Rings still had to conduct blood spirit formation experiments in Killing Tiger Pond.
So he borrowed the battleship Blue Wave from Christian Raging Waves and headed to Gravel City in the Grotto Land. It was an area under the jurisdiction of the Wind Breath Realm, so it only took a day and a night to reach there.
After arriving, he quickly switched to Loren Sankagome's battleship and flew towards the place where the Lizard Dragon was discovered.
"I don't doubt your research on blood spirit formations. What I doubt very much is, how are you going to fight Yalong?" During the flight, Loren Sankagome looked curious, "4th-level Earth Arcana Mage, It’s not enough to face Yalong.”
“I have my own trump card, sir, but please don’t worry.”
“It’s okay, anyway, I’m protecting you, so the Yalong can’t hurt you.” Loren Sankagome nodded. The mere Yalong is really not in the eyes of the stars.
About a day later, the battleship sailed into the area where the Lizard Dragon was found.
The rolling mountain forests, accompanied by large expanses of exposed rocks, form a unique geographical feature of the rock caves.
“The geographical environment around the rock caves is harsh and not suitable for human habitation. Therefore, even if some medium-sized spiritual springs have been found in the surrounding area, the United Tower has not approved the development war.” Loren Sankagome introduced.
Duke asked curiously: "But I saw that there are some magic towers in the mountains and forests."
“Since the United Supreme Tower does not approve the open war, some arcane mages go deep into the mountains and forests to build their own mage towers and enjoy a medium-sized spiritual spring all by themselves. Wouldn’t it be wonderful?”
“That’s true.”
"Look for it. I don't know where the lizard dragon is hiding. I guess it will take a while to find it." Loren Sankagome said in the tone of an old hunter. "That's what dragon hunting is, unless it's the development of a large spiritual spring. War, otherwise dragon hunting will have to endure loneliness."
It means being able to endure loneliness.
But in fact, there are all kinds of entertainment in the battleship, and even Duke brought several girls from the Black Snake family with him.
However, Duke is not completely immersed in enjoyment. He still activates the earth clone and high-level clone every day to deal with work matters, and then uses the breathing method to establish breathing resonance with the forest below to look for traces of the dragon.
Loren Sankagome would often go in and out of battleships and go to the mountains and forests to look for traces.
in this way.
After searching for half a month, starting from late spring to early summer, I finally found fresh feces left by the subsaurus lizard at the end of April.
"It's still warm." Loren Sankago touched his beard, and his spiritual energy had already sensed the feces. "It hasn't been more than ten minutes since I pooped. This subdragon lizard is nearby. Duke, be careful. Wait. I will find it and let you hunt it."
Duke smiled slightly: "I'm with you. Since I dare to hunt dragons, I must have some means."
As he spoke, a pair of fighting spirit wings extended from his back, and he quickly searched the surrounding mountains and forests following the smell of feces left by the sub-dragon lizard.
"Slow down, slow down!" Loren Sangome waved his hand casually, and the wind seemed to gather under his feet, supporting him to fly through the air. "If you make any mistake, I'm afraid you will be killed by Selsus and the others. Die in a gang fight!”
The two of them walked in tandem through the mountains and forests, following the breath of the lizard and the sub-dragon, and using the spiritual path to keep searching.
It took another half an hour.
Even before Loren Sankago discovered it, Duke had already taken the lead in discovering the dragon.
On the Dou Qi holographic screen, red light flashed.
“Master, there is a strong disturbance of spiritual air flow in the cave ahead. The intensity is unprecedented, and it is suspected to be caused by the 9-ring sub-dragon.”
