Attribute restraint? Sorry, I am a full magician.

Chapter 189 Strange Ecology

"Take it!"

Tan Xiao waved his staff and threw out another skill [Earthline Surge]. The magma instantly enveloped the orc not far away whose figure could no longer be seen clearly. The other party's hard ore carapace began to gradually melt under the action of the hot magma.

A shrill roar sounded, but Tan Xiao not only did not relax his vigilance, he even continued to throw out consumptionless basic attacks.

As the [Crazy Thunder] triggered by the passive [Bite of Destiny] continued to fall on the opponent, the shrill roar began to gradually weaken until it disappeared.

"Ding - level up."

After killing the twelfth crystal rock beast, Tan Xiao's level finally reached Lv72. ​​This was only after he held the [Battle Medal] and the experience bonus reached 100%.

"Although the upgrade is a little tiring, fortunately with the [Elemental Corridor], the magic recovery has also been upgraded to a higher level."

Under such a high-intensity skill release, Tan Xiao's MP was still close to half, which was something he had never dared to think about.

At the moment of upgrade, Tan Xiao felt relaxed for a moment.
"hiss--"

"Although judging by his level, he is indeed quite strong, but..."

Tan Xiao suddenly felt a sting in his chest, as if something had penetrated his body.

"Damn Soul-Eating Moth!"

However, the scale powder of the Soul-eating Moth had already been sucked into his body, and Tan Xiao's MP was being consumed at an extremely terrifying speed.

In the distance, Chrollo saw Tan Xiao's performance and couldn't help but cursed,

"Huh? Has he already discovered it?"

Tan Xiao found it a little unbelievable, because his physical resistance was now so high that it was almost impossible to be stabbed.

Soul-eating moths can release scale powder that is invisible to the naked eye, causing continuous damage to prey through the continuous accumulation of scale powder. At the same time, the scale powder can achieve the effect of proliferation by absorbing the magic of the prey, accelerating the damage to the prey.

"It shouldn't be."

Tan Xiao's whole body was ignited with flames, and he wanted to use the flames to purify the surrounding air.

Tan Xiao began to cough continuously, and the sizzling sound kept popping. It was because the breath he exhaled was already filled with the scale powder of the Soul-Eating Moth.

Tan Xiao suddenly turned his head and looked around, but found no trace of the other party, but he knew that he had been targeted.

"Damn it, are we bumping into each other now?"

Chrollo shook his head,
"But for a dark priest, he is a bit ridiculously weak. I don't know why the goddess would choose him as a priest."

Then there is only one possibility for this stinging pain, and that is that the attack did not act on the surface of his body, but caused damage from inside his body.

He knew that he had been targeted by the most elusive orcs in the mining area.

It turns out that the Soul-Eating Moth never goes out alone. Every Soul-Eating Moth will have a Demon-Destroying Beetle around it, which will specifically protect the Soul-Eating Moth, which has almost no defense capabilities, and provide it with a place to rest, which is a cavity in its chest that can be opened and closed.

Just when Chrollo was about to rescue Tan Xiao, a lucky guy, she noticed something strange happening on the other side.

"Cough cough cough-"

Although the magic-hating beetle is called a magic-hating beetle, it actually has a very strong affinity for a certain attribute of magic.

This is its innate talent, but it is also one of the reasons why they are so rare.

Because if the food of the magic-hating beetle contains non-affinity magic power, once it eats, it will have a strong repellent effect in the body. It can range from serious injuries to death.

This is why they work together with Choice and the Soul-Eating Moth. The Soul-Eating Moth is responsible for absorbing the magic of its prey through scale powder, while the Demon-Resting Beetle enjoys the remaining pure flesh without a trace of magic and creates a good environment for the Soul-Eating Moth. Living environment, do not become food for other beasts.

Even all demon-hating beetles have evolved an organ that can release unique pheromones, specifically used to attract soul-eating moths to lay eggs, and raise soul-eating moths from an early age. At the same time, their lungs have completely degenerated, and they breathe through the whole body's bony carapace, which blocks scale powder and ensures that their breathing is not affected.

They are the quintessential symbiotic relationship of this world.

Tan Xiao naturally knew such details, so he jumped up high at this moment, and the soil under his feet began to liquefy after he jumped up.

Obviously, the demon-hating beetle Tan Xiao encountered this time was the kind that was friendly to the earth attribute.

"How did he find out?"

Chrollo, who was in the distance, saw Tan Xiao's movements and guessed that the other party must have discovered the strange beetle in advance.

"interesting."

She once again mentioned her curiosity about Tan Xiao.

Tan Xiao had been wary of the emergence of the Demon-Destroying Beetle from the moment he encountered the Soul-Eating Moth. He knew that the real killing move must come from the Demon-Destroying Beetle. It's just that the opponent's changing attributes prevent him from thinking of a strategy to deal with it immediately. He has to wait until the opponent appears before he can decide.

"An earth-type demon-hating beetle?"

Tan Xiao glanced at the rugged mining terrain around him with his peripheral vision, and couldn't help but feel sad for his misfortune.
"What a back!"

cough cough-

Tan Xiao was still coughing. Just as he was about to land, he unexpectedly released [Flame Attack] towards an empty place. [Fire Attack] burned the scale powder in that area. At the same time, he pushed Tan Xiao moved several meters sideways.

It was this sudden lateral movement of several meters that allowed Tan Xiao to avoid the ground thorn that suddenly appeared at his original landing point.

"Oh ho~"

Chrollo squatted down and looked at the battlefield from a distance, his eyes shining with excitement.

In her opinion, Tan Xiao was bound to be hit by that ground thrust just now. Even if there was no way to cause fatal injuries to him, Tan Xiao, who had lost the initiative, would definitely be knocked into the air and never hit the ground again. opportunity, leading to defeat.

"Tsk - this magic power is consumed too quickly."

Tan Xiao in the center of the battlefield was not as relaxed as Chrollo. Because of the Soul-Eating Moth Scale Powder, his magic power was consumed several times faster.

This resulted in him being unable to sustain it for a long time even with the recovery and improvement of [Elemental Corridor].

"We must fight quickly!"

Tan Xiao still didn't land, he raised his [Oath of the Dead] high,
"Since we are cutting flesh with a dull knife, why not do it with a stud!"

All the magic power in his body began to boil. Chrollo in the distance quickly backed away, but his eyes were still fixed on Tan Xiao.

"What a lunatic."

She felt the unusual fluctuations in magic power and knew that Tan Xiao must be desperate.

I saw the clouds slowly gathering towards Tan Xiao's head, and [Oath of the Dead] began to shine brightly.

"You haven't tried what it feels like to empty out all the magic power at once. You are in bad luck today!"
