Pale Emblem

Chapter 129 Blood of Riot

At this moment, the Deathclaw adventure team's battle with the monsters took unexpected turns.

Originally, the monster that was forced into a desperate situation seemed to have given up resistance. The wounds on its body were increasing every second. The accumulated toxins not only slowed down its movements, but also nearly disabled its ability to heal its wounds. The thick black blood became Thin, as if it was about to run out.

Compared to the optimism of the Deathclaw adventure team, Rhine appears to be more cautious. He is experienced in dealing with monsters. The monster in front of him is an ancestor-level monster that can create blood descendants.

It may have been seriously injured. Based on the intelligence clues previously obtained, the demon hunter speculated that it was broken out of its lair by the wolf shepherd girl Bertina and severely injured. In the end, it had to run to a densely populated town to seek a chance to survive.

Even if he is seriously injured, the ancestor-level monster is by no means an easy character to deal with!

As expected by Rhine, just when the adventurers thought they were sure of victory and were about to kill the monster, a shield guard suddenly began to cough, and it was particularly violent. He bent down and froze in place, even stopping his defensive movements. .

The Dragon Vein Shield Guard revealed a flaw, and the nearly four-meter-tall monster could be seriously injured or even killed with just one sweep. However, the monster didn't make any move. It just knelt on the spot, lowered its head, and let the thin black blood flow from its broken mouth, looking like it was dying.

The black blood fell on the ground as light as a mist, and then condensed and transformed into a hazy little upright monster with a head, horns and a tail. It could actually jump and move in the air, quickly and silently.

The little monster jumped on the shield guard's face, then turned into a thin mist of blood and penetrated into the shield guard's body from his mouth and nose.

As the monsters continued to flow black blood, more and more little monsters were transformed from the blood mist. About three or four little monsters got into the mouth and nose of the shield guard. These extremely strong dragon-veined half-elves coughed and temporarily lost their fighting power. .

However, the powerful body function and the exclusivity of dragon blood prevented the shield guard's physical condition from deteriorating further, and his cough was just to spit out the monster blood mist in his lungs. This also prevents the rest of the little monsters from getting closer to their mouths and noses.

The situation of ordinary professionals is even worse than this. Even if they are level 4 professionals, they cannot resist the invasion of small monsters.

According to the Deathclaw adventure team, the monster was half-kneeling on the ground, supporting its weight with both hands. It was unable to resist and was on the verge of death. But they don't know that danger is approaching quietly in a mysterious way.

First, the dragon-veined half-elf began to cough violently, and the professional swordsmen next to him were panicked. Some wanted to step forward to support the shield guard, while others kept retreating. However, one of the professional swordsmen suddenly had a distorted face, his eyes were bloodshot, and he made a "cluck, cluck, cluck" sound in his throat. He turned his head and rushed towards his closest companion, and then started fighting crazily.

Some monsters possess spell-like abilities whose specific properties are tied to their abyssal aura, also known as demonic powers.

The monster evolved by the head of Oxtail Village possesses the abyss aura with "riot" characteristics, and its power is called "blood of riot".

Blood of Riot, demonic power: When the monster uses this power, it will release little lemures mimicked by the blood mist, which will infiltrate and invade enemies within a radius of 200 meters, causing the enemy's mind to fall into chaos and move towards nearby targets. Launches irrational attacks, giving priority to normal companions and avoiding the monster itself.

The blood of riot needs to be channeled, and the maximum duration is 45 minutes; the invasion and penetration of the mimetic lemures can be superimposed based on the number, until the monster's activated blood mist is exhausted.

The blood of riot can be resisted, but because the little lemures mimicking the blood mist have both mental and physical damage, the victim must not only rely on a Will save but also a Fortitude save to resist the blood of riot. During resistance, the victim's movement is restricted and may attract riot attacks from other victims.

The monster guides the blood of violence, and its main will is dispersed to guide the blood mist mimicry. Excessive dispersion of the subject's will will cause the mimetic little demon to lose its self-intelligence, and the demon itself will also lose consciousness. At this time, the monster cannot move, but its body's defense strength is greatly enhanced and it is immune to all psychic damage.

The mimetic little lemure will absorb a sufficient amount of flesh and blood essence from the victim's body, and then feed it back to the main body to strengthen the main body. The blood of riot ability ends here.

The monster's self-awareness will not be restored when the superpower ends. On the contrary, due to the plundering of the victim's flesh and blood, the flesh-and-blood will will surge, and the monster's self-awareness will be suppressed to the maximum extent.

At this time, the monster's body is more like a container, waiting for the real master to come and complete the final harvest!

The head of Niuwei Village would never use the Blood of Riot until he was at the end of his rope, but now he could no longer help himself.

The fourth-level swordsmen fell into riots one by one and turned to attack the shield guard closest to them. Fortunately, they all lost control and did not activate the secret blood ability. They also dropped their weapons and beat the shield guards with their bare hands.

After all, dragon veins are dragon veins. The four dragon vein shield guards used violent coughs to generate airflow to resist the superimposed invasion of the mimetic lemures and exempt them from chaotic consciousness. Random attacks from companions are even more innocuous to Dragon Vein Shield Guards. The problem is that they don't know the weaknesses of the monster's powers. The so-called coughing is just the body's self-protection mechanism. It is not done intentionally. Even if they cough out all the little mimics that have invaded the chest, once the coughing stops, new little mimics will invade again and continue to absorb them. The essence of flesh and blood.

Without the right response, Riot Blood is an unsolvable ability. No matter how strong the Dragon Vein Shield Guards are, they will eventually be consumed alive.

Seeing that his teammates, who were fine before, suddenly fell out of control, the middle-aged archer who was the leader of the team was inevitably panicked. With his rich adventure experience, he immediately called the other archers to retreat quickly, trying to distance themselves from the monsters.

However, the little lemures mimicking the blood mist are light and agile and can bounce in the air at ridiculously fast speeds. If the archer who has awakened the agility trait can sense the presence of the mimetic lemure, he may be able to dodge in an emergency. Unfortunately, the light in the underground cave is poor, and it is still difficult for a fourth-level archer warrior to capture the translucent mimicry blood mist with the naked eye.

The outcome has been decided, even if the middle-aged archer responded, it would still be of no avail.

The Witcher's reaction was the fastest on the scene. The white-haired Rhine noticed that the situation had changed, and immediately took off his leather armor, preparing to use his special skills. His three female companions once again liberated the evil power in their bodies, transformed their black eyes into red pupils, and awakened their own flesh and blood will, which will help them resist demonic powers.

Demon hunters have mature plans to deal with demons, including cultivating and training silver-blade huntresses. If they can be considered to have superpowers, then their superpowers are through activating their own flesh and blood to resist all kinds of strange demonic superpowers, such as immunity to evil poisons, immunity to evil penetration, and additional enhanced resistance to fire, ice, and acid. , super repair of flesh and blood, the body's ability to fight independently in the case of dementia, etc.

Facing the threat of strange monsters, the three silver-blade huntresses must first protect their male master, even if they are acting as his human shield. However, although the mimetic little lemures are not smart, they know how to choose the most delicious prey. For example, the dragon-veined half-elves with strong vitality are very fat. Secondly, they must choose the prey that is easiest to penetrate, just like those pure-blood half-elf professionals. For them, Silver Blade Huntress is a type that smells bad, is difficult to chew, and has little absorbing value.

The huntresses all stood in front and released special auras to cover Rhine.

A little lemure mimicking the blood mist ignored them and jumped towards Victor and Harvey.

Victor and the monster are 150 or 60 meters apart, with a two-shot radius, which is relatively safe.

However, no one at the scene knew that the monster's "Blood of Riot" ability had a radius of influence of 200 meters. As long as Victor is within this range, he will naturally attract the mimetic lemures.

Victor turned his head and saw Rhine suddenly taking off his leather armor, revealing a strong, toned, bronzed body with well-defined muscles and deep lines that looked like sculptures, full of power and extremely masculine charm. With his extraordinary eyesight, Victor can see details in low-light environments that Harvey cannot. What really caught his attention was a crystal the size of an adult's fist embedded in the middle of Rhine's chest. Its shape was very similar to the crystal clusters on the Taku tribe.

The difference between the two is that the crystal clusters of the Taku clan usually grow on their foreheads. When they become elemental, the crystal clusters will spread to their shoulders, which is a natural growth; while the crystal clusters on Rhine's chest clearly have traces of artificial inlays and stitching.

Due to the angle, Victor could only get a glimpse of it, but when he was about to take a closer look, Rhine had already turned around.

Demon hunters are actually a man-made combination of the Taku clan and the demonic female half-elf?

Victor's curiosity aroused and he originally planned to leave, but now he wanted to take another look.

Suddenly, his keen eyes caught a translucent little monster jumping in the air and rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.

"What the hell?!"

Victor was taken aback. He instantly activated his wind talent, summoned the air current, and violently impacted outwards, spread and then closed in, forming a wall of wind in front of him.

This wind wall is like an atmospheric shield. Even the arrows fired by powerful bows and powerful crossbows can be blown askew, let alone the extremely light weight of blood mist mimicry.

The translucent little monster was blown apart in an instant and disappeared. What Victor just saw seemed to be an illusion. But not long after, he lifted the atmospheric shield and searched for the little monster quickly and carefully. He found that the thin blood mist seemed to condense like life, and once again transformed into a little monster with a head, horns and tail.

Victor immediately summoned a gentle breeze to wrap up the little monster transformed by the blood mist and send it in front of him.

"Sir, is this thing a ghost?" Harvey stared at the little monster struggling with its limbs in the wind with wide eyes, and said in great surprise.

"It should be the monster's special method that allows adventurers to kill each other." Victor guessed. He was about to shoot the little mimetic lemure trapped in the wind ball back, but he temporarily changed his mind and chose to send the little lemure to the glowing moss in the opposite direction away from the monster and diagonally above it.

Normally, the farther the derivative is from the main body, the weaker its activity should be.

Victor's talent for wind movement can send air currents four to fifty meters away, beyond the range of influence of monsters. The little lemures naturally dissipate in the air mass, turning back into thin blood mist and glowing moss on the top of the wall. Above, there was no sign of recondensation.

Blood of Riot had almost no solution to the Deathclaw adventure team. As a result, all of them were hit, but Victor was easily restrained.

Perhaps because of the distance, more mimic lemures stopped looking for Victor and Harvey, and the Deathclaw adventure team was already under control. Even if the Dragon Vein Shield Guards were still resisting, they were trapped in a vicious cycle and couldn't break out at all. Riot Blood seemed to be able to sense the threat from the demon hunter. With its incredible demonic instinct, it condensed more mimic lemures, broke through the cover of the huntress's aura, and all rushed towards Rhine's face with all their might.

Rhine had already assumed a stable stance, holding his left wrist with his right hand and pointing his left palm at the monster's body twenty meters away. To use his extraordinary means of killing demons, he must guide the divine power of the earth within his body. The entire guidance process requires at least thirty breaths, and it is absolutely not advisable to move arbitrarily during the process, otherwise the divine power will backfire.

The crystals on his chest gradually lit up with a blazing red light, as if lava was roaring inside. The demon hunter's skin was emitting white steam, and from a distance it looked like it was wrapped in white flames.

Victor concentrated on his vision and saw three female hunters waving their weapons in the distance, trying their best to intercept the little monsters that were coming towards them. However, there are too many mimic monsters and their movements are very flexible, so there will still be fish that slip through the net and get into Rhine's mouth and nose.

Rhine's expression was painful, and he was forced to endure it. This kind of monster was so insidious and difficult to prevent, it was completely beyond his expectation. But now it's too late to say anything. We can only try our best to guide the divine power of the earth. Because he is not a true Taku clan and cannot complete the elemental transformation, he naturally cannot carry the divine power of the earth. If the guidance is wrong, he will only be burned into coke by the rampaging power of the earth.

Victor sighed and said, "Maybe we should help him."

"Why? Those adventurers have no good intentions towards us, and the witchers seem to be monsters." Harvey asked confused.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

Victor didn't answer. He didn't know why he took the risk to help the witcher. He just felt that he should do it, so he grabbed Harvey, turned on the wind, and quickly approached Rhine's location.

The huntresses were already in a state of panic. Some of them noticed Victor and Harvey running over quickly and were about to intercept them. An atmospheric shield blew away all the mimetic little lemures that were coming one after another.

"Rhine, you don't have to worry about the little monster now!" Victor stopped not far away and said decisively.

Harvey held a thorium adamantine sword in his hand and stared at the female witchers. If necessary, he plans to cut off the beautiful heads of the female witchers to see if they die!

The scorching power of the earth completely evaporated the Mimic Lemur that penetrated his chest, and Rhine finally recovered. As long as the mimetic little lemures cannot rely on the superposition of numbers, they will not continue to absorb flesh and blood from Rhine's body for a long time.

The little mimetic lemures outside regrouped into form, but were unable to break through the atmospheric shield barrier.

"I hope you can hurry up, I can't hold on for long."

Victor's faint voice came from behind, and Rhine said confidently: "Don't worry, I will kill this monster soon!"

Thirty breaths of time is neither short nor long. Rhine smoothly channeled his divine power, and aimed his left hand at the monster's body. Suddenly, a large hole was burnt by invisible heat, and the wound continued to expand, as if hot lava had burned through his chest, leaving a very terrifying hole.

The wound on the monster's chest was too big, and its neck lost support, so it rolled down along with its head.

Even so, the monster was still breathing, but it was fatally injured, its main consciousness was forcibly awakened, and its guidance of the blood of violence was naturally interrupted.

The little mimetic lemures that were still alive and kicking just now disintegrated into thin blood mist almost simultaneously, slowly floating in the air.
