Blood tax

Chapter 216 Three-on-Three Regiment Battle Part Three
Griffith knew nothing of the meaning or origin of this monstrous little statue, and had never seen a similar image of an ancient or evil god.Elven purifiers are noble warriors, wise scholars, and even more devout and firm followers of righteous gods.They excavated the statue from the ruins, carried it with them, and even converted to an evil god they had never heard of. This matter itself was full of an unnatural and terrifying malice.

"Show me now!"

Sonia stood outside the fragments all over the floor, staring at the small statue in Griffith's hand with an uncomfortable and curious expression.The quasi-knight hesitated for a moment, but wiped the small object and handed it to her.

"I've never seen such a shape. It undoubtedly has a long and intriguing history, but I can't connect it with any known art style of ancient civilizations," the girl touched the statue and lit the oil lamp for a closer look It, "Look at this octopus-like head, with a face with a group of tentacles. From the perspective of the theory of belief in evolution, the belief of this god should be inseparable from the ocean. I think this can be found in Turan Find clues in the geographical changes of the swamp and the ruins of Belomon..."

The more she looked at it, the more fascinated she became, and a rough stone statue actually gave rise to theories about geology and theology.Sonia studied for a while, and said with a little regret: "The years have erased a lot of important information. The fallen purifiers carried it, and it must be related to their newly converted beliefs. I can try to use it as a medium to communicate to the spirit. explore the world."

Hearing this, Griffith, who had been vigilant for a long time, snatched back the statue, raised his fist wearing the iron gauntlet, and knocked on the head of Sonia who wanted to snatch the statue back.

"No. This statue must be sent back to Homewarts for study."

After saying this, he turned to investigate the half-dead elf assassin.

The lightning strikes had destroyed most of the elf's armor and items, severely wounding his body.After a search, Griffith found a mace and a bloody dagger.The balance and construction of these two weapons are impeccable, and they can be rotated and swung with ease, even giving people the feeling that they are extensions of their own limbs.

Mystical items are created with magical powers injected by the caster, or psionic infusions by other Extraordinary beings to grant rare effects to the item.There is not much difference between magic power and psionic energy in essence, they are both energy forms created by the spiritual power of extraordinary people.Powerful energy is attached to these two weapons.It can be seen from the exquisite craftsmanship, complicated decorations and carvings that they are all produced in Canaan.

Each weapon handle is engraved with small characters, recording the name and characteristics of the weapon.

The enchanted weapon Mace is called "Meteor". In addition to the armor-piercing ability, it is also enchanted with the "precision" magic effect, and it will get an additional hit rate correction when thrown at medium and short distances.During the battle, Pissaius used this to break Griffith's helmet and shoot down Sonia's wand.

The sealed object dagger is called "seeking blood". It is a red sharp blade with a blood groove and a slight curvature. After hitting the enemy, there will be a certain chance to cause difficult-to-heal wounds and a large amount of blood loss.The special effect of blood loss comes from the soul of an unwilling victim bound on the dagger. It is imprisoned on the blade and suffers. It is determined to let more people experience this pain.Magically healing wounds and blood loss caused by Bloodseeking may even cause the injury to aggravate further.

Judging from the simple remarks, once the blood seeker is unsheathed, the holder will inevitably hear chaotic ravings, and prolonged use will lead to loss of sanity.

This is the equipment seized from Pisacius.If you give him a knife now, you can also get a Sequence 7 Extraordinary characteristic crystal.

However, Griffith did not do this. Instead, he gave him a little healing potion and left an ordinary dagger for him to defend himself.This fallen elf is a dangerous enemy, and he is a believer of an evil god. There is no problem in killing him.But killing him when the battle was over was not in accordance with Bayeran's law, and Sonia would definitely resist this decision.

More largely because Griffith had questions to ask.Pisacius will definitely not answer honestly. At that time, some of Griffith's hobbies will be used. Without a healthy body and sufficient time...

Griffith quickly completed the search, but failed to find more materials and intelligence.He thought for a while and asked Sonia: "Is there any way to determine the location of Galadia? We must join the others as soon as possible."

Sonia was looking at her unhappy...

Seeing the girl get emotional, Griffith explained:
"Galadia is strong, probably the strongest among us. As a ranger and spellcaster, her perception, speed and pathfinding abilities are not a problem.

"However, we made such a big noise in the battle just now, and she didn't rush over after defeating the two previous purifiers, which shows that she is likely to encounter a danger or predicament that is difficult to break free. The situation of Fiona and Lana may also be the same. in this way."

After hearing this, Sonia's expression became very serious.She rummaged through her small backpack and found a notebook.

"Use this, echo map!"

After falling from the cliff, most of the luggage had been left on it with hired hands and dogs.All we had with us were some clothes, a small amount of food, equipment and necessities.

From the outside, it's a classy looking brown map book.The cover of unknown material is smooth and delicate, and it pulsates slightly when touched, as if petting a kitten.There was only one page in the album, and the thick parchment had black ink that slowly melted away.While tapping the parchment lightly, the ink marks crawled around like bugs with their own life, turning into thick and thin lines and clumps.In addition to the ink marks, there are large and small red dots flickering like fireflies, wandering aimlessly.

This red and black pattern is confusing at first, but as the picture becomes clearer, you can find that the map is outlining the terrain by itself.

Black ink outlines the nearby undulating terrain, obstacles, and roads, showing the intricate outlines of caves and tunnels; red ink draws pairs of footprints, hooves, and terrifying tentacles, which should be the traces of nearby creatures in action.

Sonia continued to tap the atlas, and the area drawn by the ink became bigger and bigger, and could even be enlarged and shrunk according to her will: "Using this echo map requires a small amount of spiritual power from the Extraordinary. It will Shows nearby action and terrain within a range of no more than 500 meters. Slight movements are likely to be missed, but human footsteps are generally not. It is said to be the product of a bad student at Homenworth, in order to Avoiding the dreaded Dean on a date with his girlfriend! When I got it..."

"Slowly slowly! Let's go back and talk about it in detail."

Griffith hastily stopped Sonia who wanted to continue talking, and now he has no time to listen to her.

Sonia resisted the urge to stick out her tongue, hurriedly focused, and continued to pour spiritual energy into the echo map.

Judging from the contours and lines displayed on the map, two groups of chaotic footsteps are moving rapidly in the tunnel with complex terrain hundreds of meters away.

One of the groups moved slowly close together, probably Fiona and Lana.The two of them seemed lost, circling among the rocks and stalactite columns.

The other group of footsteps maintained a distance and moved at high speed, staggering and chasing each other.

Sure enough, Galadia was in fierce battle.She is a rare Extraordinary with dual characteristics, far stronger than an ordinary Sequence 7, and the enemies that even she would struggle with must be quite powerful.

……

The two left the half-dead Pisacius and rushed to support where their teammates might be.

After sprinting for a certain distance in the rugged and complicated cave, Galadia also noticed movement.A pair of red footsteps on the map suddenly ran straight towards the two of them.Another pair of footsteps followed closely behind.In comparison, other movements are as insignificant as fireflies under the bright moon.

"coming!"

Griffith blocked Sonia behind him, and the two of them leaned against the stone wall together.

According to the map, the red dot has come to a position about tens of meters in front of the two of them.This is a tortuous tunnel with complex terrain and many shelters.

Before they could see the movement in front of them clearly, a sharp arrow roared from the darkness, brushed past the two of them and nailed it to the rock.

An elven ranger came into view.She holds a strong bow and is agile. Her tied silver hair and dark skin are surrounded by a hint of evil spirit.Without questioning and answering, one could guess that she was Anna Sui, the ranger of the Purifiers team. She and several other colleagues converted to the evil god for some unexplained reason, and even her appearance changed.

Griffith immediately hid Sonia behind the rock and rushed up by himself.Facing these agile shooters, he must quickly close the distance.

At the moment when she met Griffith, Anna Sui accelerated her speed, her slim figure was as elusive as the ripples on the water.

"Didn't you turn around and run away, but rushed towards me? That means that Galadia, who was chasing her from behind, has already gained the upper hand." Griffith was determined, and immediately pressed down to reduce the fallen ranger's maneuvering space.

When he was in Homemonwatts, he and Galadia occasionally sparred and took risks together, exchanging each other's tactical experience.Although the elf girl didn't have much actual combat experience, and the two of them didn't dare to fight ruthlessly, they still understood the basic principles.

Griffith concluded that these highly mobile archers, like the nomadic horse archers, were always circling around and difficult to capture.But as long as he makes a determined and quick charge, the elf can only retreat to avoid the sharp edge.Then, use the terrain to block Galadia, and press against the wall to win!
The terrain of the relic cave is not open, so the same tactics can be implemented!
　Happy Valentine's Day everyone (double update).Sisters~ They are always indifferent, if they give up their pursuit because of this, they will definitely let them escape, and they will turn back and shoot you with an arrow from time to time, which will make you feel sorry and troubled.At this time, we can only carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardships or tiredness and rush forward, as long as they block their escape route and press the wall, they will win!Just in case, just in case, if the front A goes up and has not been hit, hey, everyone who is still reading novels tonight will not lose more!
