From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 278: Training, the Power of Wind Dragon

evening.

At the foot of Storm Peaks, the dragon sleeps in the stone forest.

Lu Heng stood in front of the stone forest with his eyes closed, repeating the essence of Wind Dragon's Absolute Slash over and over in his mind.

Today is the third day of upgrading the acceleration skill to A-level [Wind God Step].

He has been training in the stone forest for the past three days, and the wind pressure he creates is getting stronger and stronger. He is only one step away from mastering this unique sword skill.

Lu Heng closed his eyes, slowed his breathing, adjusted the energy in his body, and prepared to draw his sword.

Activate the Wind God Step, a whirlwind slowly rotates around the body, and the source energy in the body begins to gather towards the limbs.

The Wind God Step was activated, and in two seconds, the power of the Wind God was fully accumulated. He moved his body and rushed out.

After obtaining the A-level Wind God Step, the speed in the charged sprint state increases by 450%. With 115 points of agility, the maximum sprint speed is 442 meters per second.

The physical body broke through the sound barrier, and a sonic boom cloud rolled up around the body.

There was a loud bang from the vibration.
Lu Heng rushed into the stone forest, drew his sword and slashed out with the Wind Dragon's Breathless Slash.

As the sword was drawn, a howling wind blew, and in an instant a wind dragon formed, which struck the stone pillar in the middle of the stone forest.

The wind dragon was spinning and hitting the stone pillar. With the sound of fierce wind pressure, the two-meter-diameter stone pillar broke away from the ground and was swept into the air by the wind tornado.

The stone pillar flew three meters into the air, then crashed down, shaking the ground.

[Practice Wind Dragon Absolute Slash, proficiency +1]

[After practicing, I gained some insights and learned the martial art "Wind Dragon Absolute Slash". ]

[Physical attributes are improved during training, strength +0.1, agility +0.1, constitution +0.1]

When Lu Heng saw the prompt, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurried to look at the attribute panel.

[Martial Skill: Wind Dragon Breath Slash LV1]

……

I finally mastered the Wind Dragon's Breath Slash, and a new [Martial Arts] item appeared on the attribute panel.

Currently, Wind Dragon's Breath is still at level 1, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Before, Terris used the Wind Dragon's Breathless Slash. With one slash of the sword, the huge wind dragon rolled up a dozen stone pillars into the sky.

Any one of these stone pillars weighs twenty to thirty tons.

It goes without saying that even if Tyreese's Wind Dragon's Breath Slash hasn't reached the top level, it's almost there.

Lu Heng has mastered the Wind Dragon's Breathless Slash, and the wind dragon he slashed out can roll up a stone pillar weighing more than 20 tons. This power is already extremely terrifying.

When the level of Wind Dragon's Absolute Breath Slash is raised, its power will be unimaginable.

In addition to Wind Dragon's Breath Slash, the agility attribute has also been improved.

The original agility attribute was 115.9, which increased by 0.1 during practice, reaching 116 points.

……

call……

After Lu Heng used the Wind Dragon's Absolute Breath Slash, he stood there to rest.

Performing this sword skill consumes a lot of energy and physical strength.

Due to its enormous power, this sword technique cannot be used continuously.

After mastering the Wind Dragon's Breath Slash, Lu Heng began to recall the second sword skill that Tyrese had used before - the Flying Dragon Tracer.

This sword skill is an air-chasing skill. After the wind dragon rolls the target into the sky, it uses the flying dragon and tracer to kill the opponent in the air.

Lu Heng tried several times, but this move was as difficult as the Wind Dragon's Breath Slash, and it was not easy to master it.

At this moment.

Tyrese came down from Storm Peaks and said with a straight face, "You have been here for ten days. When are you going to Koros City?"

If we count from the time of transmission, today is already the twelfth day.

The first day was in Moonshadow Forest, and the second day was in Storm Peaks.

Then he spent a day hunting down five hundred demons, then practiced the Wind Dragon's Breath Slash for six days, entered the Dusk Mountains to look for the lich Dionysus, and practiced for another three days after returning.

Twelve days have passed. If it were the previous Abyss Battlefield conscriptions, the time would have been almost up.

That is to say, this time the abyss battlefield will last longer, a total of thirty days, but now almost half of it has passed.

Tyrese looked like he was chasing someone away.

Lu Heng smiled and asked, “Senior, are you so anxious?”

"Humph!"

Tyrese snorted, very dissatisfied.

Obviously, he was still concerned about the crisis in Kolos City.

Although he hasn't seen what the crisis is yet, he still can't help but worry.

Lu Heng has been thinking about a problem these days. The lich Dionysus mentioned before that he knew a secret of the great arcanist Augustus, and it was a secret that would ruin his reputation.

So, is it possible that this secret is related to the crisis in Kolos City?

But if it was relevant, why didn't Thireus let Dionysus finish his words?

Why did he destroy the phylactery of Dionysus?
The timing of his action was clearly because he didn't want Dionysus to reveal the secret.

If his action was really to silence him, it meant that he knew what secret Dionysus wanted to tell.

And he was so worried about the crisis in Kolos City.

Combining this information, one thing is certain: Augustus's secret has nothing to do with the crisis in Kolos.

If Augustus' secret really causes a crisis in the city of Kolos, and Tyrese knows what the secret is, he will definitely go to resolve the crisis instead of wasting time here.

Lu Heng had been thinking about this problem for a few days, but he still felt that something was not right.

Lu Heng wanted to confirm one thing first, so he asked, "Senior, do you know what the secret Dionysus told you before he died is?"

Tyrese's expression suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly, "This is not something you should ask about. You have already learned the sword skills you wanted to learn. It's time to go to Kolos."

Judging from his tone, he obviously knew the secret.

Now that he knew what the secret was, he could let it go for now.

Lu Heng grinned and said, "But I haven't learned the second sword skill yet."

Tyrese glared and snorted, "You really are pushing it further!"

Lu Heng quickly agreed and said, "I will leave for Kolos City tomorrow. Before I leave, Senior Sword Saint, please teach me the secret of the second sword skill."

"Humph!"

Tyrese snorted coldly, then glared at Lu Heng, then turned and walked up the mountain.

The moment he glared, Lu Heng felt a ray of light like a sword shooting into his eyes.

This gaze penetrated his eyes and pierced into his mind. Lu Heng quickly closed his eyes, covered his eyes and forehead with his hands, and digested the mystery of this sword technique.

The elven swordsman sounded dissatisfied, but he was very clear about teaching the secrets of sword skills.

Twelve days have passed in the Abyss Battlefield. There is really no time to practice the second sword skill, Xianglong Tracer. I must go to Kolos City.

This time there are Abyss Summoners. If we don’t go to Kolos City to make arrangements early, it will be very troublesome later.

The secret of the second sword skill, Flying Dragon Tracer, has been engraved in my mind, and I can find time to practice it later.

...After a night's rest, Lu Heng and his two companions set out for Kolos City early the next morning.

Kolos is the capital of the elves and also the most prosperous city on this continent.

Seven hundred years ago, there were many elven cities on this continent. With the invasion of the abyss, the living space of the elves has been continuously compressed, and now there are not many cities that can still remain prosperous.

With a map of the Quel'dorei continent and a mechanical tiger that could fly, the three of them flew over the Dusk Mountains from the air and continued flying north.

After a day and a night, they finally arrived at the Elf King City, Kolos.

Lu Heng came to the city gate, took out the golden tree seeds, and handed them to the elven guards. "Hello, we are from the Moon Shadow Forest. We came to Kolos City under the order of the forest elder Seren to help the elves resist the raid of the Abyss Summoners."

The elf guard glanced at Lu Heng, and instead of picking up the golden tree seeds, he snorted coldly, "It's you again. We don't need help. Leave now and don't cause us any trouble."

When Lu Heng heard the words of the elf guard, he showed a surprised expression and asked, "What happened? We did come from Elder Serien."

Logically speaking, Seren is the ranger of Moonshadow Forest and has a high status among the elves. If you bring the golden tree seeds he gave you, you should be treated with courtesy.

The Elf Guard waved his hand and replied, "Hurry up and leave, or I will arrest you as Abyss Summoners!"

When Lu Heng heard this, he knew that communication would be difficult. Something must have happened in the past ten days that caused the elves' attitude to change.

It seems that I have to find another way to get into the city.

Lu Heng turned and left the city gate, wandering around the outer city.

The city of Kolos is indeed prosperous. Not only the inner city is prosperous, but there are also many buildings in the outer city. However, there is no city wall protection, so it is relatively not as safe as the inner city.

"It's strange that people with golden tree species are not allowed to enter the city." Su Muyu frowned and thought, but couldn't think of the reason.

"Look for Rong Xincheng in the outer city. They arrived here before us and should know the reason." Lu Heng reminded.

"Okay." Su Muyu nodded, released the Chongming Bird, and searched for Rong Xincheng and the other two in the outer city.

Since he left a secret code for contact when he separated from Rong Xincheng before, Su Muyu soon saw the secret code left by Rong Xincheng on a wall in the outer city.

Following the secret code, they soon found where Rong Xincheng and the other two were staying.

After Rong Xincheng saw Lu Heng and the other two, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys are finally here. I was worried that something might happen if I continued to wait."

"What happened in Kolos City? Why can't I get in even with the golden tree seeds?"

After sitting down, Lu Heng went straight to the point.

Rong Xincheng replied somewhat helplessly: "We didn't know what was going on at first, but later we met other human beings with special abilities and found out from them. Kolos City recently issued new regulations prohibiting humans from entering Kolos City, and they are not allowed to bring anything with them."

"When was this regulation issued?" Lu Heng asked about the time.

"Ten days ago, a few days ago, there was a notice of new regulations posted on the bulletin board outside the city." Rong Xincheng pointed in the direction of the city gate.

Lu Heng frowned and asked, "Why is there such a rule? Is there another conflict between the superpowers and the elves?"

Among the last batch of humans recruited, there was a raiding party, and even the Ancient Tree of Knowledge was harmed.

If this is the reason, it is reasonable for the elves to issue a rule prohibiting humans from entering the city of Kolos.

It’s just that the timing of the release is a bit of a problem.

The new regulations were issued ten days ago, which means it was issued on the third day after this group of people were recruited.

If it was the last batch of humans that angered the elves, this regulation should have been issued earlier.

However, this regulation was issued ten days ago, so it is possible that this group of recruited psychics had a conflict with the elves.

However, this rule is a bit strange.

If a human mutant angered the elves, they should be directly hostile rather than banned from entering the city.

All in all, this matter is weird in every way.

"Did anything else happen?" Lu Heng continued to ask about the situation in Kolos City.

Because I stayed in Storm Peaks for more than ten days, I came to Kolos City a little late, and I don’t know what happened here.

Rong Xincheng thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, five days ago, the elves issued a bounty for the head of the Abyss Summoner. We followed the clues and went to the wild to track down the Abyss Summoner, and then a battle broke out.

“There are other human teams that are tracking down the Abyss Summoners like us.

“During the battle, a mysterious person with strong combat power appeared, but he was probably not a human.

“After this mysterious person appeared, he began to attack the human team and killed them.

“Someone in my team was injured, and when we realized something was not right, we quickly withdrew, but we heard that other teams of psychics had suffered casualties.

"I suspect that this mysterious person who suddenly appeared is the 'unknown force' in the main mission."

After listening to his story, Lu Heng took another look at the content of the main task.

The second main task provides information about avoiding being hunted down by unknown forces.

According to Rong Xincheng, this mysterious man might indeed be the unknown force mentioned in the mission.

Lu Heng asked: "Can you confirm the identity of this mysterious person? Or his race? Are you sure he is not human?"

Rong Xincheng frowned as he recalled the situation and replied, "This mysterious man's entire body was covered in clothes, so we couldn't see his appearance or even his skin.

"However, I had a close encounter with this mysterious person, and I think he is not a human being. I should not be wrong about this. I can't even tell whether my opponent is human or not."

Lu Heng then asked: "What race are the Abyss Summoners from?"

"It's the Blood Clan. The bounty target we found before was the Blood Clan, but we're not sure if there are other Abyss races." Rong Xincheng said as he took out a Blood Clan emblem and held it up for Lu Heng to see.

Strictly speaking, the demons summoned by the abyss may be a mixture of multiple races, but most of the time they are mainly of a single race.

Especially for a race like the Blood Clan with a large population, the number is sufficient to cope with conscription, and there is usually no mixing of multiple races.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Since they are from the Blood Clan, there is a high probability that there are no other races of Abyss Summoners. Could the mysterious person you mentioned be a Blood Clan Demon?"

Rong Xincheng frowned and recalled, then shook his head slowly: "It doesn't seem like it, and this mysterious person didn't cooperate with the Blood Devil, and even left the Blood Devil on purpose. If it was a Blood Devil, they should have joined forces, right?"

Lu Heng nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, if they are blood-born demons, they should join forces. This mysterious person is neither a human nor a blood-born demon, so what else could it be? Do you think it could be an undead? Or a higher-level lich."

Rong Xincheng showed an uncertain expression this time: "This... I don't know, but this mysterious man uses a long-handled weapon, mainly for physical attacks. I didn't see any undead attack spells, so I'm not sure if he has hidden abilities."

Based on the known information, the identity of this mysterious person cannot be confirmed.

If this "mysterious man" is a demon from the abyss, then it would be even more difficult to judge.

The Quel'dorei continent has been invaded by the abyss for seven hundred years, and countless abyss demons have appeared on the continent.

Any kind of abyss demon is possible, not limited to the vampire race.

……

Just as they were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Su Muyu said, "Xie Shien is here, I'll go open the door."

When the three arrived at Kolos City, they left a mark on the outer city.

As long as Xie Shien is in Kolos City, he will naturally see it.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

After Su Muyu opened the door, he waved and said hello.

Xie Shien waved his hand, walked in and said, "You guys are so leisurely. You've been missing for more than ten days."

Lin Zeyu laughed, patted Lu Heng on the shoulder, and said, "If you knew what Lu Heng has been doing for the past ten days, you wouldn't have this expression."

In the abyss battlefield, he mastered the sword skills of the elven swordsman Tyrese. If this news were to get out, I don't know how many people would be scared.

However, the humans who were recruited probably didn't know how powerful Sword Saint Tyrese's swordsmanship was.

Lu Heng waved his hand and said, "Please sit down. Since everyone is here, let's summarize the information. These three are the friends we formed an alliance with in Moon Shadow Forest. The captain is Rong Xincheng..."

"Hello, you can call me Xie Shien." Xie Shien stretched out his hand and shook hands with Rong Xincheng.

"Hello, we seem to have met in the wild." Rong Xincheng looked at Xie Shien and felt that he looked familiar.

"Yes, when I was being chased by a mysterious man, you took the opportunity to run away." Xie Shien's lips curled up into a smile, but the joke was a little subtle.

"This..." Rong Xincheng was a little embarrassed.

Xie Shien smiled and gave him a way out: "It's normal. If I were you, I would make the same choice. Before forming an alliance, it's right to be cautious."

Rong Xincheng was still embarrassed: "I didn't know you were Lu Heng's friend at that time."

"It's okay." Xie Shien helped him ease the embarrassment again.

Lu Heng changed the subject and asked, "You just said that mysterious person was chasing you?"

Xie Shien nodded: "Yes, the mysterious man attacked other people at first, but after discovering me, he started chasing me."

Lu Heng then asked: "Is this mysterious man powerful?"

Xie Shien exhaled and replied, "Gao, I almost didn't get away, let alone a head-on fight."
