Heart of the Castle

Chapter 754 The Wrath of the Giant Bear, the Difficulty of the Blood Curse

The hand crossbow of the dark elves is very exquisitely crafted. It can be used with one hand and fired continuously until all the nine poisoned crossbows in the quiver are fired in one go.However, relatively speaking, the power and range of this weapon are quite poor. Although the arrow made by dark alchemy can easily pierce any protection except the knight's plate steel armor within 20 meters, there is no way to let the light arrow The arrow completely penetrates the blocking of muscles and bones.

Almost at the same time when he realized that he was injured, Larry Moonbow counterattacked with a throwing arrow. At some point, the dark elf guard who sneaked up behind him could not completely dodge. The sound of the impact sounded, and the black shadow retreated quickly, and a series of fine blood drops fell to the ground with his fingers covering his shoulders.

"Stop making unnecessary resistance, little white-skinned mouse!" A deep voice sounded from behind, as smooth as the finest velvet. "You have been hit by a poisoned arrow. If you don't want to die, stop and raise your hands in surrender."

"Poison arrows... Oh, that's right, the dark elves' weapons have always been poisoned." Larry Moonbow shook off the dizziness rising in his head, "It shouldn't be some deadly poison, otherwise I shouldn't be using it now." I just feel dizzy, so what is it..." He suddenly opened his mouth and yawned uncontrollably.

sleeping toxin.

The elf secret archer suddenly realized that his footsteps had slowed down, and the road in front of him was twisting and shaking, as if every stone wanted to oppose him. "That's right, it's the notorious sleeping poison." He said to himself, "I must pull out the crossbow, even if it means losing a lot of blood."

Larry Moonbow grabbed the thin arrow shaft that had pierced under his right rib, and pulled it out through gritted teeth, hot blood rushed out immediately.The arrow pierced deeper than he had imagined, and the vicious barb attached to it made the wound tear even wider, causing the elf secret archer to utter an angry curse as he quickly ran across the low wall.

That evil weapon was exquisitely crafted and had a strong elf style. However, unlike the elves who admired beauty and nature, the dark elves' style was equally beautiful, but it contained a shocking evil power.The shaft of the arrow is made of an unknown plant stem, which is very light, but it is as hard as steel. The arrow is like a willow leaf made of fine steel, which is blessed with dark magic and mixed with a small amount of fine gold. , the sharp edge seems to be used for shaving.Larry Moonbow saw a wet black light flickering on the arrow.

"Maintenance oil...or poison." The elf secret archer secretly guessed in his heart, "It probably shouldn't be the former."

The initial severe pain quickly disappeared, and was replaced by a dull and heavy feeling. The dark and sweet drowsiness hit from time to time, disturbing the mind and pulling the feet... "No, I can't fall... Those dark elves are absolutely Will..." Larry Moonbow clenched her lower lip tightly, and with the help of the severe pain, she tried her best to concentrate, and tried her best to return her staggering and crooked steps to the right path.He felt that his lips had been bitten by his teeth, and some kind of viscous liquid was dripping along his lips, soaking his cheeks and jaw.

The black shadow was chasing after him not far away, and Larry Moonbow could hear the rapid and light footsteps, and even feel the hot gazes on his back.The flicking arrow tore through the air behind him again, but this time the aim was much worse. Only a black figure crouched down to avoid it, and a few sparks shot out from the stone wall.In other directions, the darkness seemed to be deforming and wriggling, and seemed to be disturbed by some force, encircling Larui Moonbow from all directions.

The deep and silky voice sounded again, and said a few words in a language that Larry Moonbow couldn't understand, "I'm so stupid," the elf secret archer couldn't help but smiled wryly at himself, "I actually fell into the dark elf's trap!" Language trap..." He didn't hear the sound of crossbow strikes or crossbow arrows piercing through the air, but suddenly a cold spike pierced his back, three times, or five times...the last one seemed to scratch near the aorta of his neck However, it was as soft as a kiss between lovers.

Larry Moonbow's breathing suddenly became difficult, warm liquid flowed down from the side of his neck, and the left half of his body became wet and heavy.He persisted for the last few steps, then turned a corner and fell behind a narrow low wall.

"I've caught you, little white mouse." The deep and smooth voice laughed jokingly, and the originally light footsteps became louder because of the fast running.Larry Moonbow took a deep breath and tried his best to keep his mind clear. At the same time, he took out the last few throwing arrows from his waist, but his vision was blurring, and his fingers became weak due to the sleeping toxin and blood loss. A flicking arrow even rolled to the side because of this.

In the end, the secret elf archer took out a beautifully shaped wooden box with magic patterns all over it. "Now we will see how many dark elves can be brought back to the Golden Tree. I hope the great Golden Tree can purify these lost souls."

Larry Moonbow stuffed his trembling fingers into a hidden ring next to the wooden box. With just a pull, the wooden box stuffed with "Babrupa's door opener" would explode, powerful enough to smash the 20-meter radius. All the matter—this ruin can fully prove this point, not to mention a few dark elves, even the abyss evil god lord whose strength has reached the level of a sword-wielding duke, was also smashed to pieces in the huge explosion like heaven and earth.

Footsteps approached quickly, and a black shadow had already appeared on the other side of the corner, like a ferocious giant under the moonlight.Larry Moonbow's fingers hooked on the ring of the wooden box twitched slightly. The increasingly intense drowsiness had shrunk his vision to as narrow as if he was in a tunnel, and the cool breath brought by the night wind on his face gradually faded. Became a peaceful hallucination.

"Hurry up, hurry up..." The elf secret archer, who was seriously injured, murmured silently. He decided to wait another ten seconds. If the dark elves still did not show up by then, he must also detonate the wooden box, otherwise there may be a Falling into a dark dream due to sleeping toxins.

A dark elf figure cautiously appeared at the corner on the left, with one hand holding a poisoned hand crossbow, and the other hand holding a black-bladed dagger in front of his chest.But the real threat appeared in another direction. This time, Larry Moonbow could clearly hear the rustling sound coming from the right side. It was the other dark elves climbing over the broken wall through the low gap. .

"Alala, the God of Life, please forgive my sins..." Larry Moonbow murmured softly the prayers dedicated to the gods, but a sudden vigorous roar interrupted his prayers, "The unforgivable depravity The one!" Immediately afterwards, a dark elf flew into the air like a stone bullet shot from a catapult, spanned a distance of nearly 30 meters, and slammed into the ruins fiercely, the terrifying sound of bones and muscles breaking at the same time made people feel Kind of creepy feeling.

A huge figure appeared in front of Larry Moonbow. The light of the silver moon fell from the right shoulder of the figure, reflecting the face of a furious giant bear and casting a larger shadow on the ground. "Ellala will never forgive you dirty traitors, never!" The giant bear roared again, stretching out its huge paw, just in time to grab a dark elf's slender neck, and then effortlessly He lifted it.

The dark elf screamed and struggled, trying to cut the bear's arm with the poisoned dagger.However, the giant bear's movements were as fast as lightning. It shook him a few times suddenly, lifted it above his head, and then threw it at the two dark elves who raised their crossbows a few steps away.

A dark elf reacted correctly in time, dropped the hand crossbow, rolled on the spot, and escaped the consequences of being hit by his companions.But the reaction of the other dark elf was a bit slower, maybe he wanted to use the hand crossbow to shoot at the huge and conspicuous target of the giant bear, and if he hesitated for a moment, he lost the chance to dodge.

The two dark elves slammed into each other fiercely, steel, bones and flesh were mixed together, and the screams quickly turned into low-pitched moans.The dark elf's neck that was thrown by the giant bear had already been twisted abruptly, and the body of the guy who was hit had been twisted into a horrific appearance, and it seemed that even several spines were broken.

This scene frightened the dark elf who escaped by chance, "I can't kill that huge beast alone, I'm going to inform the priest." He found a suitable excuse for himself, and then He quickly slipped away along the narrow passage among the ruins.

The huge size of the giant bear made it impossible for him to catch up with the fleeing dark elf, and for him, there were more important things to do.Larry Moonbow watched in confusion as the giant bear walked in front of him, and then stretched out its fat paw towards him.

One of the talents of the elves is the ability to talk to wild animals. Larry Moonbow released a series of grunts and roars in an attempt to communicate with the giant bear.But then the scene of his mouth opening wide surprised him. Wisps of emerald green light appeared from the giant bear's paw, and then penetrated into his body, releasing the sleeping toxin, and making his wound heal. stop the bleeding!

Is this a giant bear that can use natural magic?Larry Moonbow expressed his thanks in bear language in bewilderment, but a very standard high elf language sounded in his ears, and the voice made him feel very familiar.

"Larry Moonbow, you sent the signal for help just now, just to deal with these mediocre fallen people?"

"You are... the Great Elder of Odessa?" Larry Yuegong patted his forehead suddenly, "My brain is really dulled by the poison. This is the druid's animal transformation ability."

"The real giant bear will not appear in the ruins of the castle after a fierce battle, my child." The elder of Odessa nodded the giant bear's head, then bent down, and supported La Rui Moonbow with two bear paws , "Your injury is not too serious. After the treatment of natural magic, you should be able to recover quickly. But you have lost a lot of blood, and you need to rest immediately. Let me take you out of here first, and then I will deal with these fallen people. .”

"No, no." Larry Yuebow objected without thinking, and at the same time struggled to stand up, "Those dark elves are performing some terrible dark curse ceremony deep in the ruins, I suspect they are cursing the Kingdom of Arthur Regent—Honor Leviston."

"Your Excellency Leviston is not so easily hurt by curses." The elder of Odessa shook his head, and then explained, "He has several legendary powerhouses by his side, as well as the enigmatic Frederick. Sorcerers, neither curses nor dark magic, will do anything."

"But what about the curse of blood at the cost of flesh and soul?" Larry Yuebow retorted fiercely, "I saw with my own eyes those dark elf priestesses who performed the ritual fell down one by one, and some of them appeared on their bodies. Terrible curse injuries, some even directly lost their lives... Grand Elder Odessa, can you guarantee that Your Excellency Levi Stone can withstand such a strange and vicious curse?"

"No, I can't guarantee it." The face of the giant bear seldom expresses fear, but now the Great Elder of Odessa has made such an expression vividly. "Larry Moonbow, please tell me, what exactly was that ceremony—the ceremony that caused several dark elf priestesses to fall?"

The elf secret archer described two sentences concisely. Before he could finish speaking, the elder of Odessa let out a low growl intertwined with anger and pain, "Dark Blood Curse Eight Magic Circle! That spider from the abyss hell The evil ritual used by the witch to seduce the dark elves!" He grasped Larry Moonbow's shoulder with his fat bear, "Take me there, my child, this unspeakable evil must be stopped immediately!"

At almost the same moment, in the tent where Griffin Lord Li Weiston lived, Mr. Dish with a serious face also said something similar. "This is the blood curse of the dark elves. It is very evil and hard to get rid of. Master Li Wei, you must not leave the range of this alchemy magic circle until the root of the curse is eliminated." The last part of the hexagram is completed.When he drew the last magic pattern on the ground, countless golden rays of light rose suddenly, and then interweaved into a fine light net in the sky above the magic circle. It seemed that there was something invisible in the air that was isolated by the light net, emitting several There was a faint piercing scream, and then the cold and strange feeling gradually dissipated.

Li Wei raised his head and looked at the light net in the sky, with a wry smile on his face, "Mr. Dish, how long will I stay in this cage?" He spread his hands helplessly, "Guangyao There are still many things that need to be dealt with on the side of the alliance, I can't let them see this, right?"

"Let those guys wait. Master Levi's life is more important than the so-called important matters." Sir Rodriguez pressed the hilt of the star iron giant sword with a murderous tone, "Old Di What, Qiu Nuoan, you are all legendary magicians, can you find out the exact location of that so-called Dark Eight Demon Formation?"

"It's very difficult, almost impossible." Mr. Dish's tone seemed a little embarrassed, "The magic used by the dark elves is very unique, and it is different from other races on the mainland. Perhaps only the demons of the abyss have a little understanding of it, after all According to the legend, the dark elves turned away from the light because of the temptation of a female demon from the abyss."

"The whereabouts of the dark elves have not appeared on the mainland for hundreds of years, and I also don't know much about the magic they use." Master Juno Anmerist shook his head and said with a deep sigh. , "As for the dark elves and blood curse magic, even the books in the Great Library of the Mage Guild are unclear, there are only a few fragments of records... I can only guess based on common sense, the location of the eight dark magic circles should not be It's too far away, maybe it's near the ruins of the royal capital."

Sir Rodriguez stomped his feet fiercely, his face was livid, and the green undead flames even faintly burned in his eyes, "If this is the case, then let the entire army of the Griffin Knights be dispatched, and the ruins of the capital will be carried out in different regions. A comprehensive investigation, if you still can't find those damn dark elves, Rest Robinson's holy storm should be able to drive them out of the trench!"

"Sir Rodriguez, the power of the Holy Storm is indeed trustworthy, but the scene is really... spectacular." Li Wei felt a little surprised, and hurriedly stopped, "The seraphs are the gods of the light camp in the legend. Loyal servant, the Radiant Alliance is completely centered on the attitude of the Radiant Temple, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye to the appearance of the Seraph Angel, I am very worried that after Rist casts the Holy Storm, it will lead to unpredictable results."

"Master Li Wei, I think this is indeed a last resort." Mr. Dish pondered for a while, and said a conclusion that made him unable to hide his frustration, "The Dark Eight Demon Formation is an extremely unpopular blood curse magic. If there is an abnormal state, the healing technique of the Castle Heart has already dispelled it. No one can guarantee what will happen after being attacked by blood curse magic for a long time... We can't take risks."

"Then it's settled, old Dish, the safety of Master Levi is entrusted to you, and the task of investigating the dark elves is entrusted to me. If you can't catch those damn mice hiding in the dark corners before dawn, Rui ster..."

The seraphim dressed as jester and clown lightly plucked the lyre in his hand, making a clear and melodious sound, "At that time, the holy storm will create a second dawn over the glorious city of Fermeyer." He smiled. announced.
