Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1662 1634. Infrasound Spell

"Wow!" The fluff ball trotted over from behind the dragon turtle's body, "It stinks, meow!"

It doesn't mean that the Dragon Turtle is a smelly prey. As a hunting follower cat, Fluffball is quite professional.

The reason it said it stinks was because when it cut off the dragon turtle's tail just now, the tail stirred up a lot of dirty water in the pond, and one of its hind legs got stuck.

At this moment, the calico kitten was stretching its leg far away with disgust, trying to get it away from its nose, but it was its leg after all, and no matter how far it stretched it, it couldn't get rid of it.

"Come and wash." Lan En took out a water bag, and the flannel ball cooperated by stretching out his leg and letting the boss rinse him.

As Lan En poured the water, he looked at the dirty and smelly pool.

Normally speaking, after so many years since the mine was flooded like this due to water leakage, the pool of water should be very clear.

Ores and mineral sands are very heavy and easily settle down, making the water clear.

But under the dragon turtle's habitat, the circle of rotting corpses around the pool seemed to be subject to supernatural catalysis.

Not only does the smell cause physical discomfort, it can also actually harm other creatures, similar to venom or acid.

The spot on the hind leg of the fluff ball has already caused the skin under its calico hair to turn red after just a short while. We need to observe whether there is any poisoning reaction.

Of course, for the Felynx that came from the New World, the poison might not be too outrageous and would only make them dizzy for a while.

"It looks like it likes water ghosts, and likes to eat food that has been soaked until it becomes rotten." Lan En said in a nonchalant manner, "This pool of water is like its home ground. It would be really difficult to deal with it if it retreats back in. Thank you for your hard work."

Lan said the last sentence as he turned to the Embers Knights.

"It's nothing, sir." Stuart tried to stand up straight, but his face was very difficult. He poked the dragon turtle's body with the iron rod in his hand, "But what was that just now?"

When he wiped his nose with his hand, he felt the sticky texture of blood on his glove, and his mouth was also smeared red.

"Now that it's dead, we still don't feel relieved."

"It's infrasound, and it's quite powerful," Lan explained. "It has severely damaged your organs and disrupted your physiological system. The discomfort you're feeling now is just the beginning. The breakdown of your physiological system will take time to manifest."

Stuart didn't quite understand, but still said calmly: "That sounds terrible, sir."

"For ordinary people, this is indeed terrible, but you are demon hunters." Lan En shook his head, "Drink a bottle of Swallow. It's an enhanced grade. It will take about three bottles of the drug to take effect."

[Swallow] potion, can continuously provide recovery power to the demon hunter's body.

As Lan En said, the large-scale damage to the physiological system caused by infrasound takes time to manifest. And this state, similar to the continuous damage to the body after being poisoned, is very useful for [Swallow].

Hearing this, the three Embers Knights took out potions from their bags and drank them. Their complexions indeed improved a lot.

"In fact, if you were able to adjust the release state of the [Quen Seal] at that time, the infrasound wave might only shatter your shields and you would be blown away."

"Of course, the prerequisite is that you know that this is infrasound."

Lan pointed at the dragon turtle's corpse and explained to the Embers Knight.

This is why demon hunters must be cautious when hunting monsters. If you can't identify the type of monster in advance, you can rely on knowledge and experience to prepare for infrasound.

Then after the fight starts, it is almost inevitable that you will be hit by a bullet.

It is not until after being hit that one realizes that they have been hit.

After being hit, Stuart and the others ended up like this. If they didn't have the [Swallow] potion on them, even if they killed the monster, they would still be dragged to death by the subsequent worsening injuries.

For normal demon hunters, experience and knowledge equal combat effectiveness and survivability.

"Change the release state of [Quen's Seal]?" The Ember Knight next to him was shocked. "I just practiced the basic release of the five seals."

The other Embers Knight looked at the dragon turtle's corpse, especially the pile of shells on its back, and thought deeply: "Or, can we directly destroy its organ that emits infrasound? I saw that the pile of shells on its back were shaking. Is this the key?"

"The key? At most, it's half of the key." Lan En stretched out his hand and pulled off a piece of carapace. "The infrasound wave just now, strictly speaking, is not just a sound. There is chaos magic at work in it."

[Lyman's Ear] not only gave Lann a more superior hearing, but also broadened the range of sounds he could hear.

Ultrasound and secondary sounds, within a certain range, became sounds that he could actually hear.

The fluttering of the dragon turtle's shell just now did not sound to him to be so lethal.

Rather than saying this was a sonic attack, it was more like the dragon turtle was casting a spell based on instinct.

This is also one of the strange manifestations of monsters in this world.

Even if Qilin, the ancient dragon of the New World, a species with an exaggerated vitality, came to fight the dragon turtle, it would be helpless against the extremely penetrating and lethal infrasound spell.

The Qilin's cochlea and internal organs will still be damaged and seriously injured.

Of course, even if Qilin lay there motionless and was temporarily paralyzed by the infrasound, the dragon turtle probably couldn't kill it. The internal injuries of its body would have almost healed by the next day.

But when it comes to the first fight, you still have to take this move, and the inevitable uncomfortable reaction is also inevitable.

It was more like Lan En's heavy blow from his fall that suppressed the vibration of the dragon turtle's shell on its back and stopped the infrasound waves.

It would be more accurate to say that he used the skills he learned from the magical Japanese Warring States world to drain most of the dragon turtle's strength at once, and the sudden lack of energy inside its body caused the spell to fail.

The fluff ball, which is also a creature from the New World, didn't react much. One reason was that the direction of the infrasound waves was mainly directed at the Embers Knights.

The second was that when it jumped down, it was still behind Lan En. When it started to touch the dragon turtle, Lan En immediately suppressed the dragon turtle's spell.

"Wait!" When they said this, the three Embers Knights were startled and looked in the direction behind them where they were standing at the time.

The old mine is in the mountains, and if you want to get here along the mountain road, you naturally have to go up and down and take a lot of turns.

But the straight-line distance between here and the insurgents who were called over to help was probably less than two hundred meters!

And the direction they were in was exactly behind the Embers Knights at that time!

"Yes, the penetrating power of infrasound is very strong, especially when it is stimulated by magic."

Lan En scratched his head, but he didn't seem nervous. He just lamented the trouble.

He drew out the Sword of the Lady of the Lake again, looked around at the dragon turtle's body, and came to its right side.

With one hand on the corpse, he forced the huge body of the dragon turtle to a suitable angle for cutting while crushing the gravel and soil.

Even though Lan En's body size is already very large compared to ordinary people, the scene of flipping a monster with a shoulder height of five meters and a body length of more than ten meters with one hand is still very visually impactful.

He spoke to the Embers Knights while aiming the blade at the dragon turtle's ribs and heart.

"They shouldn't be in so much pain that they can't move. Tell them to come up and quickly drag these bodies back."

"I'll take out its heart first. If everything goes well, the portal will be ready tonight. Then I'll ask Aretuza to send them [Big Eater Vitality] to save their lives."

The demon hunter's body can withstand the poison, so he can drink the [Swallow] potion to offset the chain damage caused by the infrasound to the body.

But for ordinary people, the internal damage caused by infrasound is almost certainly fatal.

Fortunately, Lan En has a lot of good things.

In fact, one of the most valuable resources that this portal can deliver to the rebels is probably the [Big Eater Vitality].

This recovery potion, which can be used by ordinary people, can significantly reduce the casualties of the rebels.

It’s a pity that in addition to the [Tyrannosaurus Rex Kidney Grinding Fluid] prepared by crystal cultivation technology, the ingredients of the potion also include mushrooms and herbs that are unique to the New World.

Right now, there are only some growing in the academy's medicine garden in Aretuza. If the transportation route to the Brokilon Forest can be opened, Lan believes that the seeds given to the dryads should also make some progress.

However, the effect of [Big Eater Vitality] is a bit redundant with that of potions for a demon hunter, so he seldom carries it with him because it takes up space.

The Embers Knights immediately rushed out of the old mine, picked up the magic cloaks that were hanging on the wooden poles, and ran down the mountain to find the rebels who might have been affected by the infrasonic spell.

Lan En and Flannel Ball used their skillful knife skills and surgical experience to take out the heart of the dragon turtle, and then rushed back to the city of Vergen with only the heart in their hands.

In the abandoned underground warehouse of the city of Vergen, Lan En completed this building that had not appeared in the warlock world for a long time according to the knowledge in the book and the instructions of Tishaya.

It was an arched door frame attached directly to the wall.

With an elven aesthetic, the door frame looks like it was formed by the natural and symmetrical winding of tree branches and is about the same size as Margarita's bedroom door.

Under normal circumstances, it would look like a piece of misplaced furniture, pressed against the wall with the tiles visible behind it.

The heart of the dragon turtle was processed through the alchemy described in the book, and the essence of power was extracted. It was then mixed with a piece of crystal prepared earlier and inlaid at the top of the arched door frame.

At this point, it is equivalent to being completed.

Lan En took out a conical crystal from his alchemical leather bag, held it in front of the door frame, and input his chaos magic into it.

This conical crystal will serve as a beacon, allowing Aretuza to complete positioning if Margarita or Tissaya are still awake.
