MTL - Studying Science in the Alternate World-Chapter 188 Black jade horseshoe crab (three in one)

  Chapter 188 Black Jade Horseshoe crab (three in one)

  The swarm of insects invaded, and launched an offensive and defensive battle in the western suburbs of Shenjiao City.

  The powerful arcane mages headed by Keyston Rage took battleships and airships, continuously bombarded the swarms of insects in the sky, and pulled out high-level spirit insects.

  Weak arcane mages like Duke, together with knights and mercenaries, rely on the defense line on the ground to hunt and kill cross-border bugs.

  Boom!

  The mage's hand grabbed a 1-ring spirit beast - the one-eyed spider, and did not crush it hard, but applied light pressure, squeezing the one-eyed spider little by little.

  When the mage's hands were dispersed, the body of the one-eyed spider was mostly intact, but the skin had been cracked inch by inch, and the juice flowed all over the floor.

   "Huhu." A smile appeared on the corner of Duke's mouth.

  Standing on the city wall, he pinched the bugs with the hands of a magician. After pinching an unknown number of bugs, he finally grasped a slight grasp of the severity.

  The hand of a mage has been cultivated to a high level, and it is basically equivalent to the third hand of an arcanist.

  Duke is not in the realm yet, so he can only roughly grasp it with the hands of a mage, crushing and catching the enemy.

  But as he continued to use the Mage Hand, his understanding of the Mage Hand became deeper and deeper, and his memory of the spell model became clearer and clearer. Following that, his control over the Mage Hand increased bit by bit.

  He turned his head and glanced at the city not far away, where there was also a mage's hand slowly dissipating.

   "It's the mage's hand cast by Leadman. The five fingers can move flexibly. It can be said to be proficient."

   He admired in his heart.

  Leadman, who is usually serious and reticent, has profound attainments in both arcane arts and research, and may have the potential to be promoted to the third ring.

   "I still need to work harder!" Duke turned around and focused on casting the mage's hand.

  The swarm of insects is raging, but unfortunately most of them are low-level spirit insects, most of which are 0 rings, and there are also many 1 rings, but spirit insects with 2 rings and above are very rare.

  So in Duke's eyes, these spirit worms are not enough for him to use the Sand Eagle pistol, they are the best things for practicing the hand of the mage.

  Boom!

  Boom!

  Boom!

  The casting speed is getting faster and faster, the casting accuracy is getting higher and higher, and the sensitivity of the mage's hand is getting higher and higher.

   What followed was a rapid decline in the spiritual energy in the spiritual sea. The uninterrupted exclusive meditation method and the speed of absorbing free spiritual particles could not make up for the crazy consumption of spells at this moment.

   "Sir, take a rest." The little assistant Mu Lali who was following behind, saw that Duke's forehead was already sweating, and hurriedly said.

  A discerning knight from the **** team also hurried over: "My lord, I will take your place for a while, you go and rest for a while."

  Duke didn't try to be brave, he heard the words and withdrew from the city: "Okay, thank you very much, I'll come over to replace you when I have a rest."

   After stepping back, Mu Lali had instructed the two attendants to bring chairs and bring water and snacks so that Duke could have a good rest.

   After resting for about a quarter of an hour, feeling that his spiritual power had recovered, Duke got up again to replace the great knight.

  The mage's hand blasted out, crushing the bugs that rushed near the castle to death.

   "It seems that the swarm of insects is not so fierce." He keenly discovered that the number of spirit insects attacking the city's defense line began to decrease.

   There are more spirit insects with ring 2 and above.

  A large centipede suddenly broke out from the base of the city wall, and began to climb along the wall of the city wall, trying to break into the castle.

   No one noticed this.

  Only Duke, his fighting spirit holographic screen has been turned on all the time. With the help of the large plants inside and outside the castle, Xiaoyi, who uses the on-hook breathing method, accurately captured the position of this large centipede.

   On the small map in the field of vision, the small red dot representing the large centipede flashes rapidly.

  Duke leaned out half of his body from the city wall, and saw this large centipede that was sneaking up. The mage's hands condensed and grabbed the large centipede.

   "Iron-breaking centipede, 2-ring spirit beast, amazing destructive power, especially good at destroying metals, common solidification arcanes include 1-ring rock protrusion, 1-ring fire knife, 2-ring rock iron fragmentation, 2-ring fire dragon drill, 2-ring chaotic space..." The information flashed across the vindictive holographic screen.

  The next moment, the head of the broken iron centipede arched, and the mage's hand seemed to be cut, and it was cut into pieces and quietly shattered.

   "Level 2 Arcane Art - Chaotic Space!" Duke was slightly surprised.

  Arcane has a strong elemental color, and the element attributes are roughly divided into seven types: earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, light, and darkness.

   Chaotic space is a very rare light element arcane.

  So the spirituality of this iron-breaking centipede has a strong tendency to light elements, and it is definitely a top-level spiritual material.

   "Mage's Hand!" Duke cast the spell again.

   Not surprisingly, he was once again defeated by the chaotic space of the broken iron centipede, and saw that the broken iron centipede was about to rush to the top of the city.

  A Sand Eagle quietly appeared in Duke's hands.

  When the Broken Iron Centipede jumped up from the city wall and was about to charge into the city, Duke held the Sand Eagle and calmly aimed at the Broken Iron Centipede's head.

  Puff puff puff puff...

  A series of bullets poured out, leaving no time for the iron-breaking centipede to react, and blood blossomed on its head.

  Patter!

  The Broken Iron Centipede did land on the top of the city, right at Duke's feet, but it could only twitch and writhe, struggling indiscriminately.

   lost its head, although it will be difficult to die completely for a while, but there is no threat.

   Several knights rushed over and cut the struggling Broken Iron Centipede into several pieces, completely calming it down.

  Looking at the corpse of the broken iron centipede taken away by the knights, Duke's expression was calm, but there was a hint of complacency in his heart.

   Below ring 3, no spirit beast can withstand the baptism of the Sand Eagle.

  So seeing the increase in high-level spirit insects, Duke continued to release the mage's hand to increase his proficiency, while holding the sand eagle, and continuously clicked and killed the spirit insects that were not killed by arcane magic.

  He has used the one-ringed sand eagle several times in public, and he may have fallen into the eyes of interested people.

  So there is no need to be so particular about it, it is kept secret.

  With the help of Sand Eagle, he alone repelled the swarm of insects in the entire area. Unknowingly, fewer and fewer spirit insects attacked the defense line.

   "Your Excellency Duke, Master Penrose has sent a message, please all arcane masters board the airship, cross the line of defense and advance to the suburbs!" Penrose's secretary, Lefsky, hurried over to convey Penrose's instructions.

  Duke nodded.

   Then he asked again: "Where is the mentor?"

   "My lord is on the battleship Bibo, tracking down the leader of this bug swarm, the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon."

   "Black jade horseshoe crab, what is that?" Duke was taken aback, it sounded like some kind of dragon, a legendary dragon creature.

   "I don't know. It seems to be a huge scorpion. It has reached the 9th ring level. It was temporarily named the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon by the Union Tower. It is said that it is related to the previous 7th ring Black Jade Scorpion King in Cuihai Valley." Lewski told the information he knew.

  Duke quickly understood.

   This so-called black jade horseshoe crab is probably the suspected 9-ringed giant worm from Cuihai Valley, which chased it from Cuihai Valley to Shenjiao City abruptly.

   "Nine Rings!"

  Duke was amazed as he rushed towards the airship.

  9 ring spirit beasts, which can be called sub-dragons.

  The Cuihai Valley development war, which was supposed to go smoothly, suddenly appeared a sub-dragon, which undoubtedly cast a shadow over the development war.

   "But..." Duke thought to himself, "If Yalong is killed, I'm afraid it will create a stronger family!"

  The chief ruler of the United Tower, Keston Nutao, was born in the Count of the Nuotao family, and the blood inherited by the family is the blood of the Nuotao dragon that was wiped out when Shenjiao City was established in the past. It is the real 9-ring sub-dragon bloodline.

  For small nobles like the Black Snake family, the blood of the family is the blood of the 5-ring spirit beast-the multi-headed black-necked snake.

The gap is too big.

   "Duke, your arcane weapon is really strong, let me watch it sometime, I want to forge an arcane weapon too!" Sanfis stood in front of the airship stairs, waiting for Duke.

  Duke smiled: "Absolute artifacts are not for loan!"

  The arcane weapons of the arcane masters are all their own trump cards, so how could it be possible for others to observe them.

  Sanfis was just making a joke based on his familiarity with Duke, so he quickly put the Arcane Artifact behind him and talked about the bug swarm.

   While talking, he went up the stairs and entered the lower cabin.

  Vikas Daozhu and others have already stepped in first.

  While waiting for the airship to take off, everyone chatted non-stop around the swarm, and soon they talked about the 9-ring spirit beast-Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon.

  No one knows anything about this sub-dragon.

  So I can only diverge my thinking and talk about related content.

  Blank sighed: "Bernoulli Earth Arcane Master, originally supposed to refine the blood of the 7-ring black jade scorpion king, as the blood of the family inheritance, this time it was a blessing in disguise, I am afraid that it will be replaced by the blood of the 9-ring black jade horseshoe dragon..."

   "Isn't this the same bloodline as the Raging Wave family?" Shan Feisi replied sourly.

  Galba shook his head: "I don't think so. Bernoulli is only a 4th-ring earth arcanist. It is not that simple to refine the blood of the sub-dragon!"

  Olianna and Galba were a bit ambiguous, and immediately echoed after hearing the words: "Yes, Bernoulli is not qualified enough to be on an equal footing with the Nutao family."

   "You guys are thinking too far." Assistant Vikas sighed, "With the strength of Shenjiao City alone, I may not be able to win the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon."

   "I agree with Daozhu Vikas, one with 5th ring and four with 4th ring. This lineup is a bit weaker than the 9th ring Yalong." Duke also expressed his opinion, "It is recorded in the book "The Spirituality of Heijiaohe Land", the battle of Shenjiao City..."

  At that time, it was the 9-ring spirit beast, the Rage Dragon, that was entrenched in Shenjiao City's large-scale spiritual spring. In the end, it relied on the siege of many earth and sea arcanists, and the desperate sneak attack of the sky mage Kirill, to kill the Rage dragon.

  Sky Arcane Master, but 6 rings.

  The sky arcanist Kirill who killed the Raging Dragon was the first Earl of Raging, and the ancestor of the current chief ruler of the Union Tower, Kiston Raging.

   "If you can't beat it, Shenjiao City may be in danger." Vikas sighed again.

   Leadman, who seldom spoke, suddenly said: "There is no need to kill the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, just drive it back."

   "It's also difficult."

   "If my lords dare to fight, how dare mere worms dare to fight to the death!" Leadman's assistant snorted coldly.

   Everyone couldn't answer these words, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

   Fortunately, the airship has already lifted off and arrived above the swarm, and the assistant Vikas immediately ordered: "Everyone, enter the combat position, and deal with the swarm first."

  The airship has a battle compartment dedicated to arcanists.

  Duke entered the combat cabin with its own number. The cabin protrudes from the cabin, and the protruding part is completely transparent, which is convenient for observing the front, left, right and bottom.

  Vikas and others have launched arcane attacks vigorously.

  Duke also used the mage's hand to attack the spirit insects on the ground or in the air, and at the same time, with the help of the vindictive holographic screen, he locked the orientation of the spirit insects with ring 2 and above.

   Sand Eagle in hand.

   Accurate burst shooting, within 500 meters, basically point to where to shoot, beyond 500 meters, you need to have a little prediction, and beyond 1 kilometer, you need to rely on luck.

   "Hearty!"

  Duke had a rare opportunity to show off his marksmanship unreservedly, as if playing a shooting game on earth.

   "It's a pity that the special effects of bullets have not been successfully developed, and we can only rely on ordinary bullets to kill insects."

  If the special effect of bullets is turned on, the efficiency of killing insects will be greatly improved by changing empty bullets, shotguns, and armor-piercing bullets at will.

   But to deal with spirit insects below level 3, ordinary bullets are enough.

   In addition, he also "swiped" the mage's hand very well. If it wasn't for saving energy and preventing spiritual energy from being exhausted, he could happily brush again.

   "Be careful, there are 4 ring spirit insects in front of you - vicious bumblebee, group spirit insects, can stack armor and wind wheels, and fire arcane attacks are the best."

   Each vicious hornet is like a calf, flying in groups in the sky.

  Duke raised his hand and shot.

   Accurately hit one of the vicious hornets. You can see through the scope that when the bullet was caught by the vicious hornet, he turned sideways to dodge slightly, causing the bullet originally aimed at the head to hit the wing.

  The wings were shot through, and the Vicious Hornet only shook slightly, before regaining its stability.

   Immediately, as if enraged, the arcane light condensed from between the wings, and then two huge circular wind wheels shot out.

  Stimulated by this vicious hornet, several vicious hornets around them also began to condense the arcane, and the arcane light resonated with each other, and then the surrounding air was affected by the arcane resonance, producing vibrations like water waves.

  Boom!

   Around these vicious hornets, densely packed huge wind wheels appeared, and then rushed towards Duke's airship with the momentum of thunder.

   "Support the shield!" Assistant Vikas, who served as the commander of the airship, shouted loudly.

  The sound is transmitted to each combat compartment along the sound transmission pipe.

  Duke responded quickly.

   Actively guide the spectacle of the arcane shield in the spiritual sea, and condense an arcane shield in front of the airship to act as protection.

  But the real defense is the 2-ring arcane skills released by the two guides Vikas and Leadman respectively-Iceberg Shield and Steel Wall.

  Boom!

  Countless wind wheels collided with the ice shield and the steel wall, annihilating each other, and the remaining wind wheels shattered the defensive arcane spells released by Duke and other 1st ring arcanists all the way, but also wiped out most of the power, leaving broken wind blades that hit the airship.

  The outer shell of the airship is fused with a lot of spiritual gold, and the wind blade can only be broken, and the outer shell cannot be broken.

   A round of offense and defense ended in the blink of an eye.

  Although Duke was not able to take the lead and kill a vicious hornet with 4 rings in one shot, he was able to take advantage of their temporary delay and shoot a vicious hornet in the head with a dozen shots when the vicious hornet released arcane spells.

   "The shell of the vicious hornet is a bit hard... If it is replaced with armor-piercing bullets, it may be possible to shoot one by one and kill it casually."

   Fighting on the airship is quite easy.

  Duke can desert at will, thinking about the shortcomings of Yihuan Sand Eagle, so that he can order Xiaoyi to improve it in the future.

  As the battle continued, most of the vicious hornets on the periphery have been cleaned up.

  Hiding behind the vicious bumblebee that remotely controlled the swarm, he was finally exposed to arcane attacks, and Duke also aimed at the queen bee's head with great interest.

   Poof!

  A precise headshot with one shot.

  The result I saw through the scope was a bit embarrassing. The bullet failed to break through the eye of the queen bee he aimed at, and didn't even leave a wound.

   "Not breaking the defense?" Duke was speechless.

  At this moment, a thick beam of light shot out from the combat cabin under the airship like a laser, and went straight to the queen bee.

  When the queen bee was hit by the beam of light, it was like being burned by a fire. At that time, half of her body was scorched, and one-third of her wings were burned off.

   "It's not like arcane..." Duke was startled.

  Xiaoyi can't give accurate information either, in its database, there is no corresponding arcane art, which can be released like a laser sword.

  Instead, it was Sanfis’ exclamation that provided him with the answer: "Vikas Daozhu, you are my god, so handsome! After I go back, I will immediately ask the alchemist to help me forge arcane weapons. You all have arcane weapons, but I don’t have them!"

   "It turned out to be the arcane weapon guided by Vikas. It feels much more powerful than my first-ring Sand Eagle. It should be a second-ring arcane weapon."

   "Focus!" Leadman's assistant yelled.

  Shan Feisi smiled: "Got it."

  The battle continued. With the appearance of the arcane weapon guided by Vikas, the 4-ring spirit insect-the Queen of the Vicious Hornet, was baptized by the "light saber" three times in a row, and finally fell from the sky.

   During the fall, he was hit again by the lightsaber.

  Following the lightsaber, there is also arcane magic that arcane mages don't pay for. Even Duke took the opportunity to cast the hand of the mage and squeezed a queen bee.

  He thought a little bit in the middle two: "If you don't break the defense, I will pinch **** for you!"

  With the fall of this group of vicious bumblebees, the noisy swarm of insects slowly came to an end. After countless casualties, the remaining worms finally chose to flee for their lives.

  The Loop Airship did not return to the castle immediately, but sent a semaphore from a nearby airship, calling on all airships to gather in the northerly direction of the western suburbs.

   "That's where Yalong is!" Vikas made a judgment, "Guys, should we return to the voyage or join the war?"

   "Fight!" Sanfis yelled, "Yarong, I want to be a dragon-slaying warrior!"

   "We must do our part." Leader Leadman said coldly.

  Oliana said slowly: "Go to the battlefield first to have a look. If the Yalong is too strong, we must first ensure our own safety."

   "Yes." Galba immediately echoed, "The instructor didn't let us hunt dragons, so if we are going to fight, we must be careful."

  Blank made no comment.

  Duke said: "If I don't take a look at the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, I may regret it for the rest of my life. Nine ring spirit beasts, how many can I see in this life?"

   Assistant Vikas synthesized everyone's opinions and gave an order: "Then go to the north of the western suburbs and gather!"

   Along the way, most of the airships were flying to the north of the western suburbs, but a small number of airships turned around and flew back to Shenjiao City.

   Not all Arcane Masters have the courage to participate in the battle of hunting dragons.

   It didn't take long to fly, and through the binoculars, everyone saw the battle situation in the northern part of the western suburbs. A huge scorpion-shaped spirit insect was walking on the ground at random in the sky, and rushed towards one airship after another at an extremely fast speed.

   Several 5-ring black jade scorpions followed behind him, but the 7-ring black jade scorpion king was missing.

  The airship brigade is headed by the battleship Bibo, and the phantom of the arcanist stands on the bow, constantly resisting the attack of the huge scorpion.

  Arcane brilliance illuminates the entire sky.

  Meteorites fall from the sky, icebergs condense in the void, blue wind blades can cut cracks in the space, and blue thunder divides the world.

   "Eh..." Sanfis's voice came from the sound transmission pipe, "Assist Vikas... Otherwise, let's stop here, over there..."

   After being silent for a while, Sanfis continued: "The scene is a bit huge, and I am afraid of being accidentally injured by my teammates."

   Nobody laughed at Sanfiz.

  Vikas directly ordered the airship to hover, not daring to drive any further. The destructive power of the battlefield ahead was astonishing, approaching was no different from dying.

   "Turn around, ready to evacuate here at any time."

  The airship turned around on the spot, and Duke and the others also left their respective combat cabins, came to the tail of the hanging cabin, stood by the porthole, silently watching the distant battlefield.

   "This is not a battle we can intervene in." Leader Leadman whispered softly.

   "The form is a bit bad. The airship in the Bernoulli Mage Tower did not use the ring of projection to fight, and lost too much combat power."

   "It should be in the Emerald Sea Valley, the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon defeated the Projection Ring." Duke said.

  The Ring of Projection is a routine method of combat for a great arcane mage. It can rely on the Ring of Projection to fight thousands of miles away, effectively avoiding the danger of fighting in person.

  Blank couldn't help cursing: "This old guy wants to open up the Cuihai Valley, but he is reluctant to show up. He regards us in Shenjiao City as his coolies!"

   "Pay attention to your words," Vikas reminded.

   For an arcane mage, there must be basic respect, even if all the arcane mages in Shenjiao City are against Bernoulli.

  Blank said with a sullen face: "I know, I just don't resent him for using us as his gu worms to drive us!"

  Shan Feisi flattened his mouth, equally resentful and disdainful: "Do these buggers like to hide behind so much? If I were a 4-ring arcane mage, I would have head-to-head with the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon!"

   Duke was not involved in the complaint.

  He stared intently at the battlefield ahead, trying to record the battle without missing a single detail, and then handed it over to Xiaoyi for analysis.

  This battle will allow him to fully understand the strength of high-level arcanists and spirit beasts.

   "Black Jade Limulus, looks like a scorpion, but there are obvious differences... The two most obvious ones are the front chelicerae. The scorpion's chelicer is like a large pincer, but the Black Jade Limulus is like a big knife, without forks."

   Another noticeable difference is the tail.

  The tip of the scorpion's tail has a barbed stinger, while the tip of the black jade horseshoe crab's tail has a long needle.

   "Compared to the ferocity of the black jade scorpion, the image of this black jade horseshoe crab is gentler." Duke thought in his heart.

   However, the fighting power of the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon far exceeds that of the Black Jade Scorpion.

  The Black Jade Scorpion following behind it was more like the younger brother cheering for the older brother, and couldn't interfere with the battle between the airship brigade and the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon.

   There were a few airships onlookers, quietly raising flags to the surroundings.

  The flag bearer of the Huihuan airship quickly caught the semaphore and came over to report: "My lords, the nearby airship invited us to besiege the single Black Jade Scorpion."

  Penrose is not here, Vikas is the first commander of the airship, but he prefers to refer to the opinions of everyone: "What do you think?"

  Shan Feisi was the first one to yell again: "Siege, definitely siege! Can't beat the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, and can't beat the Black Jade Scorpion?"

  This remark was unanimously agreed by everyone: "Indeed, I can't participate in the battle to hunt the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon. At least I can cut off a few Black Jade Scorpions, so as to reduce the pressure on Master Keyston and others."

  Seeing this, Vikas immediately ordered the flag bearer: "Keep in touch with the surrounding airships and look for the single Black Jade Scorpion to attack!"

   "Yes, my lord."

  The flag bearer quickly responded to the surrounding airships with semaphore, about a dozen airships responded, quickly formed a hunting airship team, and surrounded a wounded black jade scorpion around the battlefield.

   This 5-ring spirit worm, the Black Jade Scorpion, participated in the battle before and was blown off three legs.

   There was also a huge crack on the carapace.

  It didn't know that the danger was approaching, so it quietly crawled on the ground and licked its own wounds, preparing to take part in the battle again when the time came.

   By the time it Youruo noticed, more than a dozen airships had already hovered around and started to attack it ferociously.

  Because arcane mages with 3rd ring and above are basically hunting black jade horseshoe crabs in the airship brigade, so this airship team only has 1st and 2nd ring arcanists.

  However, all arcane masters have communicated through semaphore, and meeting is the most powerful means.

   Either the best arcane art, or the arcane weapon that acts as a trump card.

  Duke was not to be outdone, he held a ring of sand eagle in one hand, kept his arm steady, and kept pulling the trigger.

  The bullets crazily slanted towards the Black Jade Scorpion's injured carapace—only the injured place, the bullet can cause damage, and other places will definitely not be able to break through the defense.

   "Samfiz is right!"

   "Can't beat the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, can't beat you?"

   Looking for tickets~
