Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 295 The battle above the River Styx

Nohill put away his emotions and focused all his mind and body on the journey. Then, as expected, three hours after setting off, he encountered a group of little devils that blocked the sky, forcing him to fall from the sky and change his way. river channel.

Fortunately, the manta ray cloak did not disappoint Nohill. The isolation bubble produced by this magical equipment can indeed perfectly block the water of the Styx. The unique design and characteristics of the cloak can also take him and Xiaobu towards the river at an extremely fast speed. Driving to destination.

The only fly in the ointment is that the corrosive power of the Styx water is somewhat beyond his expectation. Even if he only advances on the surface of the river, the magic bubbles generated by the cloak can only last for half an hour at most. After half an hour, the bubbles will be directly destroyed. It was corroded to the point of collapse, and if the magic power of the cloak was exhausted, he would have to wait 24 hours before he could continue to use the cloak.

Nohir must reasonably allocate and use the remaining magic power in the cloak so that he will not be unable to escape by getting into the water after encountering a dangerous situation. Although he can now transform into a dream demon and escape into the etheric plane, because the ether is Due to the unique characteristics of the surface, it was impossible for him to stay in it for a long time.

Therefore, during the subsequent journey, Nohir spent most of the time in flight. Only when he encountered a danger that could not be solved in a short time, he would choose to jump into the River Styx or escape directly into the etheric plane.

This way of rushing allowed him to easily avoid a lot of troubles that could not be solved in a short period of time. When he encountered a demon that he could solve, Nohill would not hesitate to go over and hand in two moves to test his newly learned skills. This way, it took only 12 hours to reach the first stop destination, the city of Stygia, without any danger.

However, just when Nohir arrived near the city of Stygia, sneaked up from the water, and then found an opportunity to sneak into the city, a violent explosion suddenly reached his ears.

"It seems like it's not very peaceful here either."

Nohir quietly floated a head from the distant water, and then looked at the battlefield with gunfire in the distance. According to the information in the hunter's mind, the location of the portal chosen for this demon invasion is about about 100 meters away from here. More than miles away, this distance is not too far compared to the scale of the entire hell, but it is definitely not close. The fact that the demons can reach here is indeed a bit beyond Nohill's expectation, but if you think about it carefully, It's not impossible.

When demons invade hell, the offensive in the first few months is often the most ferocious. Under the leadership of the demon lord, various demons will rush out like a tsunami from pre-opened portals in various places. In this case Demons can often rush to quite far away places, and at this time, the specific time of the abyss demon invasion has not been more than half a month, which is when the demons are at their strongest.

So Nohir saw this scene in front of him. The devils used their amphibious iron-clad ship to smash into the tattered rafts built by the devils using bones, scrap iron and extremely corrosion-resistant hell trees, causing them to wailing and falling into the sea. The River Styx was eventually corroded by the river water to the point where no bones were left, and the artillery units on the shore were also frantically pouring ammunition at the demons on the shore and in the water. The situation seemed to be precarious for the demons, but the demons were not helpless. Fight back.

Those really powerful high-level demons had long since escaped the situation of staying on the river and being passively beaten. They had already used various methods to rush to the shore in advance and launched a counterattack. Nohill saw with his own eyes a six-armed snake demon wielding six He rushed the relatively slender giant sword into the devil's battle formation, and then danced the weapon in his hand like a roaring hurricane, madly massacring the artillery troops on the shore, and kept wandering towards the depths of the legion. There are almost no enemies wherever you go. On the water battlefield, many demons that looked like snakes or lizards but had two hooks and claws suddenly sprang out from the demon side. These demons suddenly jumped out of the Styx River, and they were still surrounded by the underworld. The water columns formed by the river water seemed to be controlled by demons, carrying these demons and leaping onto the devil's armored ship.

Under the wash of the water of the Styx, the demons on the deck not only suffered slight corrosion damage, but also had most of their memories washed away in an instant, becoming extremely dazed. The demons took this opportunity to attack the demons. They started a massacre.

Their actions are extremely violent. With a pair of strong hooks and sharp fangs, the devils they attack will be torn into pieces in an instant. This sudden and surging attack also makes the devils chaotic, and instantly lost heavily.

Although the devils quickly regained their discipline under the strong orders of the commanders of each team, the attack just now was too sudden. Nohill even saw a devil's armored ship being directly carried up by the rough waves. It overturned and completely sank into the River Styx.

"What kind of demon is this? There are actually creatures in the world that can survive in the River Styx?"

Nohill was surprised that there were aquatic species in the Styx, a magical river with corrosive and memory-erasing functions. However, no matter how much he didn't believe it, he had already seen the existence of these demons with his own eyes. , based on what he saw before his eyes, these demons were undoubtedly immune to the negative effects of the water of the Styx.

Nohill immediately flipped through the monster knowledge in his mind and recognized that it was a demon called the water eel demon. This demon is a very special amphibious demon. In order to adapt to the harsh water environment of the lower plane, Not only have they evolved the ability to be immune to the negative effects of Styx water, they also have extraordinary corrosion resistance and poison resistance, and these passive abilities are not their best skills.

Their most powerful thing is that they can secrete deadly venom all over their bodies, which can pollute a wide range of water sources. Coupled with their magic-like ability to control the surrounding water, the combination of these characteristics Making them extremely deadly no matter what kind of water they are in.

But just when Nohir thought that the demons were about to win a great victory and those demon warships were going to suffer heavy losses, he saw a large group of toad-like demons wielding spears or tridents suddenly emerged from the demon's He rushed out of the warship and firmly suppressed the water eel demons in a short period of time.

Nohir saw with his own eyes that these toad people showed similar abilities to the water eel demons. They could control water bodies, avoid the negative effects of the water of the Styx, conduct amphibious operations, and were much stronger than those brainless demons. One thing is that this group of demons knows how to work together.
