Ilitia remained silent and ultimately did not tell her reasons.
[341] Going to the Star Vein Fountain and Qiongqi's Struggle
Generally speaking, they are on their way back in triumph at this moment.
Alcaide drove the off-road armored vehicle skillfully along the deserted road.
Ilitia sat in the passenger seat, staring out the window in a daze.
She is thinking about something.
Something she wasn't supposed to know.
If there wasn't a commander capable of making decisions nearby, they wouldn't have allowed themselves the possibility of knowing about this matter, even if he was the so-called "Lu's retainer."
She gave a sad, sarcastic smile.
"Are you crying?"
"Why don't you see me crying?"
"Then your smile is uglier than crying."
"As a subordinate, is it too lacking in respect for the master?"
"You didn't show any dignity in front of me."
“Some things should be taken for granted, right?”
"Yeah, you're not very dignified, of course."
Ilitia puffed up her cheeks, and from Alcade's perspective, she looked a bit like a pufferfish.
Quite cute.
With no respect at all in mind, Alcaide stared at the road.
It was not his first time driving, but on the one hand he relied on the scrapped car and his teammates' lack of driving licenses, and on the other hand due to his previous work, it was not uncommon to see hundreds of soldiers from the Empire or the Imperial Court jumping out on the road. Moreover, he did not pay much attention to the sound of the wind while driving, because that also required his attention.
They had previously received news that there was a suspected star vein fountain nearby.
According to intelligence personnel, a star vein fountain was suspected to have been discovered nearby, and there are signs that the Xudora family's personnel and the imperial troops are in a stalemate, so they believe that this "suspected" may be eliminated directly.
Star Vein Fountain is a natural phenomenon that greatly strengthens the Protoss or gives birth to new Protoss. It is manifested in the fact that high-concentration Protoss energy gushes out from the cracks in the earth, forming a fountain-like scene, so it is called Star Vein Fountain.
For the Imperial Court, the Star Vein Fountain is a strategic resource that cannot be ignored. Even within the court, it is a necessity that the three major families competing for the throne of Queen cannot give up.
For the Empire, the Star Vein Fountain is a scourge that has increased the number of enemies and brought disasters. If there is a chance, they will destroy the Star Vein Fountain at all costs.
To be honest, Alcaide had no interest in that kind of thing, but since Ilitia said she wanted to go and see it, then let's go.
They are all unimportant things. Protoss and the like are just like that after all.
Powerful Protoss are almost always aggressive, and the tricks they can perform are often inversely proportional to their power.
If there were conditions to obtain a Protoss, Arcaid would like to get one similar to Illitia's Voice Protoss, which at least could change its voice freely and even make sounds at any position within sight, which would be very interesting - at least when playing tricks on people, he wouldn't have to use lame ventriloquism to imitate the sound of farts.
However, the strength of the Star Vein Fountain's production is basically guaranteed, so there is basically no need to think about using it to make a living.
Just like that, the master and servant, with an indifferent mood and a little hope, continued to approach the star vein fountain.
……
Qiongqi was a little bit annoyed.
Because it absorbed magic power and the power of existence in a certain world, the magic stone in its body accidentally activated the screening rules of a certain commander's consciousness.
Judging from the results, the Four Evils have all become beings similar to the Shadow Guardians, who are closer to the Demonic Spirits rather than mutant beasts, that is, they have clear self-awareness and thinking ability.
Although it is a bit hasty to use intelligence alone to distinguish them from mentally retarded mutants, it has to be said that this is the simplest way. Moreover, the Shadow Emperor does not care about its other functions at all.
No, there should be. At least, it is very likely that I was able to escape death because of my ability with the nature of [Wind] and because I was hiding in his inherent spiritual equipment all the way.
But he is not the only one who can manipulate the wind to attack. In fact, the Four Evils have survived with their own abilities and have not been eliminated. Everyone has the ability, so why should it face the clone of the Shadow Emperor?
Qiongqi didn’t know and didn’t dare to ask.
It only knows that the so-called clone can basically be regarded as half of the Emperor Hero.
The existence named Arcaid is only different from the Shadow Emperor himself in that he cannot summon the Emperor Armor and can only use the Wood element of the Five Elements.
Perhaps the issue of energy supply must also be considered, but because the consciousness of both parties is common, the energy is theoretically equal. This is related to the difference in souls but will not cause a decisive gap.
For Qiongqi, it was equivalent to being ordered to die.
Even if Alcaide is indeed weaker than the Shadow Emperor, he can only summon the Wood Wind Eagle Armor. Given the strength and total amount of the opponent's energy, the time required to kill Qiongqi may not be much longer than that of the Shadow Emperor.
Although since a certain generation of emperors, the armor of the Emperor Knight and the Light and Shadow series no longer has the ability to destroy the resentment in the Magic Stone and cause the complete extinction of the Magic Race, but instead turns to strengthening the two-dimensional seal, allowing their power to be eroded by the years. This is a cheaper, slower, and more difficult method to explode before death.
But it is precisely this method that is the most terrifying for Qiongqi, who possesses spiritual intelligence.
Death is just a matter of opening and closing your eyes, but the imprisonment of loneliness is not.
The Demon Stone cannot be destroyed without the permission of the Shadow Emperor, and the same goes for the consciousness contained in it.
Qiongqi, which had devoured a large number of humans and the Red World and gained beautiful memories, can no longer endure the days of sitting alone in the tower. The resentment inside the magic stone in its body is cursing all living things while also recalling the good old days.
It doesn't mean that it has turned over a new leaf and is planning to become a good mutant beast. It will still cause destruction as usual.
It just changed from a killing machine to a bad seed that used misfortune as a consumable in its pursuit of happiness. It didn't want to be put away as a collection of magic stones for who knows how many years just for the Shadow Emperor's fun.
Therefore, one of the four villains who had temporarily gained some freedom decided to rebel.
Without causing displeasure from the Shadow Emperor, use lowly humans as consumables for your escape.
A dangerous red light flashed in their small eyes, and the sickle-weasels obeyed Qiongqi's will and began to occupy the bodies of the humans who fell to the ground.
Those were the humans it defeated when it arrived here, and they were also the materials it prepared to make scapegoats to replace itself.
【342】The actions of the sickle weasels
"Ok?"
The sudden brakes caused Illitia's head to almost hit the window. Before she could figure out the situation, Alcade got out of the car first.
"I'm going to go out for a while, you stay in the car."
"Will you be able to come back in time to protect me? Why not take me with you?"
"No, there's something terrible ahead. I can't guarantee nothing will happen if you go in."
Alcaide rejected the proposal.
He was subconsciously forced into a serious state by the supernatural field here. Due to some instinct that was not completely eliminated, he did not want any extra people to participate in the next battlefield.
The cyan light sheet unfolded, and Alcade stepped through it. The cyan and silver mixed light and shadow armor was equipped on his body as if a layer was replaced.
Wind Eagle, attack!
……
Kamaitachi No. 2948 is a relatively successful example of a subspecies of supernatural beast.
It is an early successful example of the combination of a fingernail-sized fragment of the Demon Stone and the Protoss, a unique product of this world.
The so-called star spirits are special lives that possess spirituality and some special abilities. They should be classified as spiritual life forms, and then based on their body structure and composition, they can be further subdivided into the category of energy life forms.
As the remnants of the past, the echoes of losers, the creatures in the Shadow World basically possess the ability or technology to invade and transform local species.
The result of the Demon Clan's invasion of the Earth is the transformation of polluted organisms through Demon Stones. However, when facing this planet, the concept of pollution has changed, so major adjustments are needed.
Finally, under the approval of the Shadow Emperor, it was decided to transform it into an energy body and turn it into a subspecies of mutant beast.
Although the origin of this plan is specifically the Star Lord virus that infects the elements, both from a technical point of view and from the results, the purpose of the transformation based on the Demon Clan is to eventually pollute a certain space so that the Shadow Emperor can dominate this area and make use of it as much as possible before it is transformed into a five-dimensional space.
Kamaitachis are a subspecies of psychic beasts that are weaker than regular psychic beasts in all aspects. It takes 49 regular psychic beasts to perfectly transform and dominate the anchor point of a planet. However, because the materials used in their production inherently possess a small amount of planetary consciousness, and large-scale replication is not a problem, they can rely on quantity to replace quality, and there is a low probability of intelligent individuals appearing.
2948 is one of them.
It is inhabited by a green wind spirit. Because it has no fixed form, its posture is that of a little elf that doesn't look like a mutant beast at all.
A palm-sized little fairy with three pairs of light green transparent wings and a delicate face.
Simply from the outside, it becomes a kind and friendly individual.
Although it looks weak and adorable, it has the strength to break the skull of an adult human and a flying speed that exceeds that of a hummingbird. It can also actively transform its surroundings and turn them into a five-dimensional space.
Of course, the latter is not what we want to talk about now because of its impressive efficiency, so we will put it aside for now. Its current duty is to serve as an extermination force to recover the light and shadow stones.
For Qiongqi, this was probably a pleasant surprise. When the sickle-weasels attacked the Protoss troops, they released the dark monster.
A twisted, existential monster with two legs, eight arms, seven heads, twenty-five eyes, and forty-nine mouths.
That is a common situation when the magic stone combines with certain individuals due to the host specificity. It does not take on a fixed and stable posture, but instead runs wild in a chaotic and patchwork image similar to that of a synthetic beast.
This failed mutant beast has exceptionally good initial performance, but it also has the possibility of being temporarily tamed. As long as it is commanded by its own kind that it respected extremely during its lifetime, it will be a controllable weapon until the humanity of the material is completely worn out.
Considering that they were discovered in the Protoss forces, it doesn't matter if they are considered a subspecies with Protoss powers like the Kamaitachi.
An ethereal voice that ordinary people cannot hear rang out.
That is the chant of the stars.
The scorching flames rose up and burned fiercely in the air.
The light that was so dazzling that it made the kamaitachi feel nauseous fell, and the flames were intensified to a level that could be described as an explosion.
A figure wearing a battle suit that only purebloods can wear, a "royal robe" that is more suitable as a ball gown than a protective gear, stood behind the monster.
A petite and radiant figure, with sickening confidence and arrogance in her eyes.
How dare you, you hateful creature, resist me?
2948 used his own astral magic - no, because it was a distorted secret magic driven by supernatural powers, it might be more appropriate to call it demonic magic.
The original effect of this subspecies of wind star spirit, whose star spirit's own star spirit magic is to eliminate star spirit magic and quell disputes, has been distorted by supernatural powers and turned into a poisonous wind that inflicts poison on the star spirit magic being cast, causing the star spirit to be targeted by the star spirit poison in the star spirit magic it releases, becoming a secret art that is so vicious that it can be called evil.
The petite figure fell, and the glow of the enhanced monster dimmed.
It has been delayed for too long, and the purpose of training has long been exceeded.
After receiving the news from other Kamaitachi that Wind Eagle Man was approaching here, 2948 immediately ordered the Kamaitachi, whose intelligence needed to be improved, to execute the failed monster.
The pitch-black body was torn apart and the dark green stone was dug out of the body.
The free sickle-weasels left with the light and shadow stones.
Then, ferocious human-shaped figures walked out and approached the petite figure lying on the ground.
……
Alcaide can actually sense the approximate location of the Light and Shadow Stone.
Although he didn't know that the dark green stone was called the Light and Shadow Stone, nor did he know what the stone was used for, and he didn't know why the stone was in the imperial hall some time ago but now felt so close, he could indeed feel that the Light and Shadow Stone was not far away from him.
As he got closer, a sense of power came from the armor.
As if downloading content directly into the brain, certain knowledge was loaded into his brain.
Xun Gua, Wind Eagle Sword, Wind Eagle Crossbow, Wind Piercing Thorn, Wind Eagle Kick...
Putting aside other things, the woodland here is not very suitable for the explosive acceleration and power-enhancing Zhen Gua. The softer Xun Gua allows him to move around in an elegant and smooth manner. The formal weapon also brings a sense of security that far exceeds the Wind Eagle Ring.
Unconsciously stroking the Wind Eagle Crossbow on his arm, he rushed out of the woods and saw a large number of hideous humanoid figures walking towards a petite figure.
The light energy of the wood element radiated unconsciously from the armor. The sickle-weasels that were living in humans controlled the "machine" that would not be directly blown up by the opponent, and their evil and ferocious red eyes looked directly at him.
[343] Alkaide: The Wind Eagle Sword is a rubbish weapon
Hundreds of dark human figures that could be described as "weirdos" stared at Arcaid silently with their scarlet eyes, and a certain field was formed between them.
But there was no situation of surrounding Alcaide. Judging from the momentum alone, it seemed like Alcaide surrounded hundreds of the enemy.
This was not a simple illusion. The crushing of the energy field was an image that could reflect the difference in power. Alcaide's energy field alone overwhelmed the energy fields of all the enemies combined. Naturally, no matter if it was others or themselves, they would almost think that Alcaide was surrounding hundreds of enemies.
Except for Arcaid himself.
His essence is Yang Weiwu who cut off his own extremely yang soul and only retained the soul memory until the age of three. During these five years, he did not receive a normal childhood education, but was forced to mature into a false adult through experiences mainly focusing on practicality and independent social survival.
In terms of knowledge and intelligence, he is essentially not much different from the three-year-old who just came into this world. At most, he understands the unspoken rules of society and has learned skills through meditation.
People's cognition depends on the amount of their knowledge.
