Quadruple split.

Chapter 195 The Battle of the Holy Mountain
half an hour later

A thick arm suddenly lifted from the snow, scaring the two orc children next to them and ran away with a howl.

Cordoba, whose health was mostly frozen, crawled out. The rune body under the cloak was glowing with hot red light, quickly melting the surrounding layers of ice and snow. From a distance, it looked like a steam engine had turned into a spirit. of.

"It's really dangerous. Fortunately, the old guy Luvin has developed a lot of new functions before, otherwise it might have been cold just now, um, it's quite cold now." Cordoba whispered while moving his stiff body. , visually guessed that he didn't dare to speak loudly for a while.

After a while, Cordova, who had completely dispelled the frozen state, finally regained his ability to move. I saw that the constantly flowing light on his body gradually changed from red to green, replacing the original few scorching runes. Wen exuded a buzzing sound, faintly resonating with the thin wind element around him...

Five seconds later, the rune body mode transition was complete.

Cordova kicked the ground suddenly, and the whole person soared into the air as if he was light and nothing, and he had swept a distance of more than ten meters in an instant.

That's right, he's getting faster!

The seemingly heavy body is galloping on the snow slope. Although he is carrying the heavy Punisher M2K on his back, Cordoba has not left any footprints wherever he passes. The runes let him get rid of most of the gravitational force temporarily, and under this holy mountain, he performed the true stepping on the snow without a trace. The gust runes flooding his body gave him at least four or five accelerated states at the same time, making his movement speed reach Even compared to the husky that monopolizes the entire polar transportation industry... the sled dogs are not too shy.

This is the rune body temporarily upgraded by Lu Wei, referred to as Cordova V1.5!

Not only has the body's endurance and performance limit been greatly increased, but it can also be transformed into a form under specific circumstances as needed. For example, the current [Burst] mode that completely replaces the body surface runes with gusts, resonance, anti-gravity, and overload, Even if its moving speed is compared to the Lansaber galloping on the plain, it will not be inferior. In this case, Ji Xiaodao, who was once able to compete with Cordoba by virtue of its flexibility and speed, theoretically even Can't even touch him!

Of course, this extremely extreme super transformation form naturally also has shortcomings. For example, when Cordoba is in the current [Detonation Speed] mode, his strength and defense will be reduced to a very nonsense level. The Punisher Wand M2K, which has also been activated with anti-gravity runes, has almost completely lost its attack power, and its energy consumption rate will also double. ...

There are many other examples of this kind, such as the extremely destructive [Monster Power Overload] mode (but the blood volume will drop at a rate of 15%/s); double the upper limit of health, double all resistance, and increase defense 500% [Immediate Barrier] mode (really can’t move); the [Warrior Flurry] mode named by Cordoba himself, which increases all attributes by 20% within 300 seconds and has no side effects in the process (after the end self-explosion), and the [Big Mushroom] mode (direct self-explosion) that not only consumes nothing, but also causes indiscriminate and huge damage to all surrounding units.

If you choose to ignore those side effects, it can indeed be said to be quite powerful~
In short, at this moment, Cordoba is transforming his rune body into a [Detonation Speed] mode that can make him become extremely fast to climb the mountain. Although the consumption of stamina and energy is huge, for those who have already arrived It's not a big deal to him, anyway, after going up the mountain, he can have a good rest, and the energy is currently abundant...

The mountain range called Sumir was the first stop on his journey.

The holy mountain Sumer, this majestic and magnificent snow-capped mountain is located at the northernmost tip of the mainland. It is the birthplace of all shamanism. It is said that the oldest and most intelligent elemental spirit in the world is hosted here, and there are countless pilgrims every year. Those who come here to listen to the whispers of the ancients, it is a common holy place for all shamans and orcs.

In addition to Sumir, the Azure Sky Lake, Molten Forest, Lanyong Gap, and Thunder Bluff in the Innocence Continent also host elemental spirits. They are also revered and guarded by major shaman sects, but their status has always been Still not as good as this holy mountain located in the polar region.

And the reason why Cordoba went here was mainly to find another light of apocalypse in this place that sounds like a magic stick. Of course, he was just trying his luck, but Sumir did have the value of trying, not to mention he was in My new friend in real life, Wan Yang named Huo Yanyang in the game is also here.

[Even if you can't find it, you can at least brag about it. Anyway, those high-level observers who talk about it don't have a clue~]

Cordova thinks so.

……

at the same time
At the other end of the holy mountain Sumer, the steps of the elders located halfway up the mountain

Huo Yanyang, who was wearing red chain armor, was in the midst of a chaotic battle. Panting, he waved his totem pole to push back two black-robed elves, and beat the battle drum on his waist to release auxiliary skills. The red bloodthirsty halo exploded under his feet, coating the eyes of the seven or eight orc warriors around him with golden red.

There are about twenty orc warriors here, as well as enemies exuding a strange aura, whose number is less than half of the former.

"Kill!" A certain orc warrior naked to the waist yelled, his muscular arms swung suddenly, and the battle ax in his hand slammed down on the frozen ground, setting off a wave of snow-covered ice in front of him. conical shock wave.

An emaciated middle-aged man in a dark green robe couldn't dodge in time and was hit straight. The two arms that were raised hastily were broken, and the bones were broken, and they hung softly on the sides of the body. He was slammed into the back of the heart by another orc warrior with a warhammer, blood spewed out all over the sky with a wow, and he even yelled: "It doesn't hurt! No injuries at all!"

Then he really got up from the ground as if nothing happened, the broken bones and the ejected internal organs did not know when healed up a few seconds ago!

No matter how brave the two orc warriors who had been blessed by the bloodthirsty technique were, they couldn't help but feel a little hesitant when they saw this scene. After all, this scene is a bit too unbelievable!

I crushed the opponent's bones with my own hands, and shattered the opponent's heart with my own hands, but the man in front of me with a face of madness seemed to be unharmed... No, to be precise, he pulled out his weapon and rushed forward without any injuries Hack and hack!

What's even more shocking is that the chaotic attack was accompanied by the opponent's words like 'you can't dodge', 'I'll hit you', 'you're bleeding, bastard' every time. reward!

This incomprehensible scene happened in every corner of this small battlefield...

The orcs, who have advantages in terms of terrain, strength, and numbers, swung their giant swords, battle axes, heavy hammers, or totem poles time and time again, but the opponent either avoided their original attack strangely, or was killed He was beaten half to death and then got up unscathed in the next second and continued to fight.

"Is this really a hack?!" Huo Yanyang threw away the totem pole whose durability had been reset to zero, picked up a mace with his backhand, and threw it at the black-robed man in front of him: "Invincible Lock Blood Self-aiming, right!?"

Then he was knocked to the ground by the opponent's sword, and almost half of his neck was cut off, and his life value bottomed out on the spot.

After all, no matter what, he is just a war priest who relies on intelligence for food. Even if his physique and strength are much stronger than other spellcasting professions, he is not a melee profession. It is definitely useless to fight with the tall invader holding a two-handed sword in front of him. odds.

"Protect the priest!" A pretty female orc warrior rushed over from the side, bumped the enemy who was trying to make up the knife, turned her head and asked loudly, "Are you alright?"

Huo Yanyang shook his head, then poured a bottle of healing potion for himself while clutching his neck, and immediately got up from the ground after stopping the wound, took out the last Healing Surge Scroll from his luggage and handed it to the former, He said in a hoarse voice: "Jana, go and treat those soldiers who are about to fail. Let's hold on for another five minutes. If no one comes to support, we will have to give up here."

The female orc warrior Janna hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "But the rank of the elders..."

"If you lose the elder's rank, you can get it back. You guys...I mean if we lose our life, we can't get it back. Listen to me." Huo Yanyang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Those evil gods The power of believers is too weird, we have tried our best."

Janna didn't hesitate any more when she heard the words. After covering Huo Yanyang and retreating to the rear, she immediately took the scroll to help a few soldiers who seemed to be dying soon, and pure and warm water gushed out from the center of the scroll. , the life force contained in it was finally able to barely hang the lives in front of her.

"You guys should retreat first." Janna picked up a bandage and wrapped one of them indiscriminately a few times, then picked up her two machetes again and rushed down. People, she must be responsible for the rear mission.

[This group of hangers-on! 】

Panting, Huo Yanyang sat on the half-meter-high steps recovering his health. He looked gloomyly at the evil god believers below who were attacking more and more fiercely.

Those people came from a place called 'Whispering City', which is located on a mountain outside Sumir. It was discovered half a month ago, and there were a large number of fanatics who worshiped evil gods. They hollowed out the entire mountain Inside, a huge city was built in it, and it was used as a base to try to forcibly take the holy mountain as its own. It is said that a large part of it was driven over by the people from the holy area, and the time can even be traced back. Until decades ago, it was only discovered not so long ago.

If it weren't for the long-sleeping spirit of the earth who issued a warning in his sleep, and the great shaman Chiron Zorn resisted all opinions and used the horn of the stone ancestor that can only be blown three times every hundred years to cast [Mountain Echo], I am afraid that until Now no one will find that such a group of blasphemers have quietly taken root near Sumir.

According to the hazy information returned by [Mountain Echo], those evil god believers who tried to blaspheme Sumer have gathered more than ten thousand people. They are entrenched in the strange city built in the mountain, praising the evil god named after the whisper , continued to carry out crazy blood sacrifices and rituals, and even eroded an ancient earth vein...

If they are allowed to continue their activities, then the spirit of the earth and the ancestor altar hidden under Sumir may even be corroded by evil gods, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Thus, the war broke out logically.

In addition to Chiron, the great shaman who fell into a deep sleep after blowing the horn of the stone ancestor, the Elder Council sent a total of three earth prophets, ten wolf soul druids, twenty high-level shamans, and hundreds of warlords. The priest and the [-]-member Earth Whip Guard launched an attack on Whispering City at noon the next day after receiving the news.

Because the echo of the mountain has not yet dissipated, every prophet can be guided by the spirit of the earth. They found the cultist stronghold that looked the same as other mountains on the surface, but the entire interior had been hollowed out. It took half a day After breaking through several layers of evil god barriers that deceived people's minds, they immediately launched an attack...

The fierce battle lasted for three full days, and the result exceeded everyone's expectations.

More than half of the Whip of the Earth was lost, none of the war priests survived, three high-level shamans were killed in battle, seven were seriously injured, two wolf spirit druids were bewitched by the power of evil gods, and one of them was killed by other druids on the spot. The other person disappeared under the cover of many cultists, and Jose Thorn Bird, one of the three Prophets of the Earth, also stayed under the mountain forever. He summoned two [Ancestral Colossi] ], and detonated one of them to destroy the ground vein that was already overflowing with the power of the evil god, and ordered the other giant statue to guard the exit before dying, buying precious time for others, which made Su Mir's disabled Most of the army has successfully withdrawn, otherwise we don't know how many more people will die.

Of course, the Whispering Sect was also severely damaged in this battle, and the ground vein they regarded as the foundation was completely cut off, which severely weakened the believers who could have borrowed a lot of divine power, and at the same time lost their greatest support. This kind of situation where you can leap to the next level and fight just by muttering a few nonsense can't happen again, and Whispering City is no longer a perfect shelter.

But even so, their numbers and combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

That night, countless Whispering Cultists appeared in every corner of the holy mountain, setting off the curtain of counterattack.

The frontal war has begun...

So it was a tragedy for Huo Yanyang, who had just come to the Holy Land to undergo trials...

And another more tragic person is coming soon.
