Elven cultivators

Chapter 76 Fortified Walls (7th update, please subscribe)

Looking down from the sky, the valley of the Thousand Rocks Hills appears as if an invisible giant hand has pressed down on an inverted golden bowl, completely enveloping an area of ​​500 meters in radius.

Countless fine runes flowed across the surface of the light shield, like molten gold winding and crawling on transparent glass, exuding an ancient and solemn aura. Even the howling mountain wind suddenly froze when it touched the edge of the light shield.

The Rockhorn Dragon sensed something was wrong almost immediately.

Its survival instincts were frantically warning it, and a strong sense of crisis caused its pupils to suddenly contract into two thin lines.

Without hesitation, the Rockhorn turned and charged toward the valley entrance.

boom!

Its body crashed violently into the golden light barrier, creating ripples of golden light.

The light curtain remained completely still, without even the slightest crack appearing.

The Rockhorn roared, and the earthen-yellow light on its giant horn suddenly intensified. A thick beam of light shot out from the tip of the horn and slammed heavily into the light barrier.

However, it was still to no avail.

The moment the yellowish-brown beam of light struck the light barrier, it was decomposed and absorbed by the golden runes flowing across the surface of the barrier, and quickly dissolved and disappeared.

The runes on the light screen became even brighter, and their speed of movement increased.

The Rockhorn was clearly taken aback by this outcome and was visibly stunned.

Coming to its senses, it launched another attack, unwilling to give up.

Claws, beams of light, impacts, bites... all sorts of attacks poured down on the light screen like a storm.

However, each attack only made the golden light shine brighter.

The light barrier not only did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger, like a giant beast that could never be satiated, greedily devouring the power of the Rockhorn Dragon.

The First Elder, the Third Elder, and Thorvin all looked on in astonishment at the scene.

"What an amazing magic array..."

Each of the Rockhorn Dragon's attacks was enough to leave an ordinary Gold-rank expert covered in dust, but in front of that thin layer of golden light, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, unable to stir up the slightest wave.

It completely overturned their understanding of magic arrays.

Just then, realizing that it was powerless against the golden light barrier, the Rockhorn Dragon finally turned its anger on Anton and his companions, roaring as it charged toward them.

The four exchanged glances and attacked simultaneously without saying a word.

Thorven charged to the front, swinging his battle axe fiercely at the Rockhorn Dragon, consciously taking on the responsibility of being the vanguard and the meat shield.

The First Elder and the Third Elder stood guard on the perimeter, unleashing spells upon the Rockhorn Dragon.

To the astonishment of the three, Anton also charged straight at the Rockhorn Dragon.

The Rockhorn Dragon was quite intelligent and quickly realized that Anton was the weakest link among all the enemies, so it immediately swung its claws and slashed at him fiercely.

The elder's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to remind Anton to keep his distance, he saw the latter raise his hand and send out a small object that suddenly expanded rapidly in mid-air, transforming into a giant red-gold bell about ten feet tall, which then placed him upside down inside.

The bell's surface is semi-transparent, with faint flame patterns visible flowing within, as if lava is surging inside the glass, exuding a scorching and ancient aura.

clang!

The Rockhorn Dragon's sharp claws slammed heavily onto the Fire Shield, producing a deafening clang of metal against metal.

A brilliant crimson-gold light shone forth, and the flame patterns on the bell's surface suddenly lit up, absorbing, dispersing, and eliminating all the force of the impact.

The crimson bell trembled only slightly before firmly withstanding the blow.

Anton inside the bell remained completely still, not even his robes were blown by the strong wind.

For a moment, not only the Rockhorn Dragon, but even the three elders were taken aback.

"Extraordinary level?"

The Third Elder blurted out in disbelief.

It can withstand a full-force attack from a peak-level Gold Saint without sustaining any damage, so it must be at least a transcendent-grade magical item.

There is no doubt about this.

The problem is, extraordinary magical items are extremely rare and precious. Where did Anton get this thing from?

He clearly remembered that Anton only had the Sun Emblem, a supernatural magical item.

The First Elder and the Third Elder exchanged a glance, and a startling thought flashed through their minds simultaneously.

Could this be another one that Anton made himself?

If that's really the case, then that's... absolutely incredible!

The Rockhorn Dragon seemed to have also noticed the unusual nature of the Fire Shield.

It let out a low growl, abandoned its attack, and retreated. Its crimson-gold vertical pupils stared intently at Anton inside the crimson-gold bell-shaped shield, a hint of instinctive fear flashing in its eyes.

Anton did not stop. Holding a sword in one hand, he used a surgical technique to launch a swift attack on the Rockhorn Dragon.

With the Fire Shield protecting him, he completely abandoned defense and launched a relentless attack.

hum!

A yellowish-brown halo seeped from the cracks in the armor layer on the Rockhorn Dragon's body, condensing into a thick, visible halo around it, like an invisible armor.

This is the power of the law awakened by the Rockhorn Dragon—Iron Wall.

As one of the lowest-level laws, the solid wall has no offensive capabilities. It cannot burn everything like the scorching law, nor can it entangle and bind like the thorn law.

Its only function is defense.

Ultimate defense.

With the blessing of the Law of Solidity, the Rockhorn Dragon's body is incredibly hard.

Even the mighty Elder could only cause the aura on the Rockhorn Dragon's body to tremble slightly and darken with each attack, but it would quickly regain its brightness.

The attacks from the other three were even weaker; when they landed on the Rockhorn Dragon, the aura didn't even flicker.

The battle reached a stalemate.

However, the four men, including Anton, showed no signs of anxiety.

They had anticipated this scene.

The fortified defense is ultimately just the lowest level of law, and the Rockhorn Dragon is only at the peak of the Gold rank, not the Legendary rank. Even the strongest defense will eventually be exhausted.

The Golden Light Locking Prison Formation has cut off all of the Rockhorn Dragon's escape routes. It cannot escape and can only passively take the beating.

If we continue the siege, we will eventually break through this "impregnable barrier".

The same is true.

As time passed, the aura on the Rockhorn Dragon's body recovered much slower after being attacked, and its color gradually faded from a bright golden yellow to a murky yellowish-brown.

About half an hour later, the halo finally stopped recovering and gradually dimmed under the attack of the four people, like a candle flickering in the wind, and finally shattered with a crash.

Despite its formidable physique, the Rockhorn Dragon was quickly covered in wounds under the fierce onslaught of the four.

Its scales cracked and blood gushed out, but it was helpless and could only roar in vain. Fear finally appeared in its vertical pupils.

Seeing that the Rockhorn Dragon was about to collapse, the four exchanged glances and reached a tacit understanding almost instantly.

Anton suddenly opened his mouth, and a pure white sword aura shot out from it, like a white rainbow piercing the sun and tearing through the sky, striking the dragon's head at the rocky horn.

At the same instant, the elder's thorns coiled around the rock horned dragon's neck like venomous snakes.

The Third Elder's lightning bolt struck its heart with pinpoint accuracy.

Thorvin's battle axe, imbued with all his magic, slashed fiercely at its back.

The four attacks struck the Rockhorn Dragon's body almost simultaneously, one after the other.

Countless plumes of blood mist instantly exploded from the Rockhorn Dragon's body, and a small hole appeared in the center of its head.

Its massive body suddenly froze, its vertical pupils quickly dimmed, and it lost its luster.

The next moment, its heavy body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The ground trembled violently for a moment, then fell silent.

The elder withdrew the thorns, let out a long sigh, and his exhaustion was hard to hide.

Although the battle wasn't particularly dangerous, the high-intensity attacks that lasted for several hours took a huge toll on his magic and physical strength.

The Third Elder and Thorvin were in no better shape, drenched in sweat and their arms trembling slightly.

Although Anton was not injured, he was greatly exhausted and took several pills to restore his true essence and energy before he recovered.

"It's finally resolved."

Thorvin walked to the corpse of the Rockhorn Dragon, patted its massive head with his battle axe, and grinned with satisfaction.

"With that beast dead, the mining area can finally be at peace."

The First Elder and the Third Elder also showed relaxed smiles.

The problem that had plagued the mining area for nearly two years has finally been completely resolved today.

The two couldn't help but look at Anton, secretly sighing in their hearts.

Anton continued to perform steadily.

If it weren't for his Golden Light Locking Prison Formation trapping the Rockhorn Dragon and preventing its escape, this battle would have been fraught with countless twists and turns.

In addition, Anton's extraordinary magical equipment also performed exceptionally well.

Judging from their perspective, this magical equipment is top-tier even among the extraordinary level.

By this time, the two had a vague idea that Anton's magical equipment was likely modified from the Sun Emblem.

Regardless, Anton's alchemical skills have clearly reached a new level as he has been able to create extraordinary magical items.

Given time, it's hard to say how much they'll grow.

Just as the two were lost in thought, Anton came to the corpse of the Rockhorn Dragon, reached out and touched the rough surface of its armor, his eyes shining slightly.

With his divine sense penetrating the body, he could clearly perceive the immense essence contained within it.

The entire body of a dragon is a treasure, making it an extremely valuable material for both alchemists and apothecaries.

But for Anton, its value goes far beyond that.

"Could you give me the Rockhorn Dragon's carcass? I need it," Anton said, looking at the other three.

The First Elder and the Third Elder readily agreed without hesitation.

They have always fully supported Anton.

Thorvin hesitated slightly, after all, many of the materials from the Rockhorn Dragon would be of great use to him.

But after Anton promised him twenty rune-enchanted pieces of equipment, the dwarf elder immediately grinned and readily agreed.

Since trading with the Silvermoon Clan and acquiring rune-enchanted equipment, the artisans of Grayrock Keep have been researching rune-enchanted equipment extensively, but so far they have not been able to successfully replicate it.

According to the craftsmen, the runes on these rune-enhanced equipment were all unheard of, and their combinations were unprecedented and extremely bizarre.

They racked their brains but still couldn't figure out the logic and principles behind it.

Complete replication is impossible. Even if we managed to create equipment by imitation, it would only be a bunch of junk with extremely low cost-effectiveness.

In light of this, Grayrock Fortress had no choice but to abandon its plan to replicate rune equipment and instead trade with the Silvermoon Clan using various metal ore resources.

Rune-equipped gear is highly sought after in Grayrock Fortress these days.

More importantly, the Elder and Anton deserve the majority of the credit for killing the Rockhorn Dragon.

Thorvin didn't contribute much, so the spoils he received were definitely limited. Getting twenty rune-equipped items was already a pretty good result.

After some discussion, both sides reached an agreement and were very satisfied.

Anton looked at the Rockhorn Dragon and felt a surge of excitement.

We finally have the core materials for forging the sword pellet!
