After a while, the flames faded out, and mottled dead leaves fluttered in the air. Xia Jia fell down slowly with his eyes blank.
Time seems to have stopped...
The surrounding forest fires were burning the trees with crackling sounds.
At this moment, the giant bull that was lying limp on the ground suddenly moved. It had survived the fire and had developed resistance to the flames. Xia Jia's full-strength burst failed to completely end its life.
It reached out its hand to the side, picked up a magic stone on the ground, threw it into its mouth and chewed it.
Then came the second and the third.
Those were the remains of compatriots who died in the fire and at the hands of Shaka.
Plop, plop, plop.
A loud beating sound suddenly came from the chest of the bull. It suddenly opened its eyes, a circle of scarlet fur grew from its neck, the promoted horn became stronger, and a layer of black keratin spread on its body surface.
It slowly stood up, grabbed Xia Jia's right foot, sneered with disdain, and crushed it with force.
It’s level 3.
"Aaaaaahhh——" The broken calf bone woke Xia Jia from his exhausted and unconscious state.
My eyes were blurry and my throat was burning, but I could faintly hear someone calling me...
Chapter 41: Rihachi-style: Great Snake Nagisa
"Sir Shaga!!!"
In the forest engulfed in flames, an anxious and self-blaming voice rang out.
What followed was a purple figure, breaking through the sea of fire.
Yamato Mikoto held the hilt of the sword with one hand, his eyes locked on the giant bull that had completed its evolution, and when it was feeling proud of itself, he appeared in front of it.
"Hmph, Kuznetsova." If the Minotaur could speak, he would definitely say this.
But when Yamato appeared in front of it and drew out the sword that was shining with purple light, it suddenly realized that it was already at the end of its strength.
Swallowing the magic stone and completing another evolution did restore some of its strength and made its body much stronger, but the parts of its flesh that were burned by the high temperature, coupled with the reduced oxygen content in the air, made its movements extremely slow.
A purple light flashed, and the giant bull felt his arm go numb, and the wrist that was holding Xia Jia was broken at the root.
Yamato hugged Xiajia tightly and rolled several times before gradually moving away from the central battlefield.
"Sir Xia Jia, Sir Xia Jia! Wake up! Wake up quickly!" Yamato shook Xia Jia's body, his pupils full of worry.
Regardless of understanding, she began to search Xia Jia's body for usable supplies.
But Xia Jia was also a poor man, and he only had simple physical strength potions and a bottle of mental potions. Yamato didn't care about that and opened them all and fed Xia Jia to drink.
"Ahem, ahem." Xia Jia slowly opened his eyes and met Yamato's eyes: "You, why are you back?"
"Chigusa and the others are out of danger, I'll come to help you!" Ming's tone was firm.
Like a noble warrior, she would not allow herself to abandon her companions.
"Heh." Xia Jia laughed bitterly and said sadly, "Then we may all die here. The Minotaur was originally a strengthened species, and now it has eaten the magic stones of other monsters. It now has the potential ability of level 3."
Xia Jia sighed deeply: "I can't win."
If we say that Xia Jia, because of his skills, has the top level of lv1, or even comparable to the ordinary lv2 ability value, plus the blessing of magic, he can barely fight against the mid-level lv2 monsters.
However, level 3 is like a natural chasm, an insurmountable mountain, and a complete qualitative change.
Even a severely damaged lv3 is not something that two lv1 novices can fight against.
However, Ming's tone was quite confident: "We can win. We still have hope. I have prepared a trump card!"
At this time, the bull covered its arm and roared, and streams of black blood flowed from its broken wrist. The fishy smell was spreading along its skin and into its body.
Xia Jia sat up and saw the same scene.
Ming explained: "I brought poison! The poison of that cat demon!"
She pushed the sword in her hand, indicating that she had poisoned it.
Xia Jia also ignited a little hope, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Can you hold it for a minute?"
Ming's eyes flashed and he nodded vigorously: "Okay."
If it was a normal level 3, she would never say such a thing, but now, with severe injuries, burns, lack of oxygen, poisoning, and various negative buffs stacked up, she could only delay time and felt that she was sure of her life.
"it is good."
Xia Qiang struggled to stand up, the potion gave him the last bit of strength.
The magic that maintained Black Cat and the others had been lifted long ago. Now that his mental strength was gradually recovering, he could still make another big one.
Shaka began to chant again, and the emblem of the Wings of Justice bloomed behind him again, and the flames on his body rose again.
She rushed out with her life, holding the sword and chanting magic bit by bit.
"——I call upon the name of the Supreme Being with great fear and trepidation——"
Parallel casting?
No, that method of running ten steps and singing three words cannot be called parallel casting.
It can only be said to be an emergency measure. In order to avoid being accidentally exploded by magic power, she focused her attention completely.
Under normal circumstances, I would definitely not use skills that I am not proficient in to fight, but now is the time to risk everything.
The giant bull let out an ear-piercing roar and swept its arm, which was dripping with black blood, towards Yamato.
Black blood shot out, but Ming dodged it skillfully...
[We are the invincible martial gods, the noble nine-day guardians. ]
As her figure approached, Ming controlled her movements deftly. After being defeated by Xia Jia, she kept paying attention to the information in this regard, and successfully judged the arm length of Mengniu and avoided a fatal attack.
She slid with her poisoned sword, smoothly sliding under the bull's crotch, bringing out another pool of black blood.
The venom continues to spread.
The bull's movements became increasingly sluggish, but the risk still existed. If it was hit once, it would definitely be unable to move given its physical condition.
The chant continued: "Give this humble body the divine power of a noble body. Save me, the light of purification, the blade that destroys evil."
Life began to wander around the periphery, trying to continue inflicting wounds on the ferocious bull in a bullfighting manner.
As if knowing that the opponent was holding back a big move, Mengniu used up the last of his strength, raised his arms high, and slammed them to the ground hard.
The earth rumbled and trembled. The person who was moving suddenly felt his feet go numb and his legs went weak, and he was about to kneel down.
The bull roared, lowered its head and charged with its horns aimed at his life.
The chant had come to an end, and Ming gave up resistance and finished the chant with all his heart: "Sweep away, the sword of peace, the sword of conquest. Now here, I call you by my name. Descend from the sky and unify the earth - the Divine Martial Battle!"
The purple magic circle unfolded, and the giant sword descended with terrifying gravity. The bull let out an extremely mournful roar, and was pierced by the giant sword, unable to move.
Ming clasped his index fingers together, compressing the range of gravity, and the purple cube squeezed and bound the bull's body.
Time passed by minute by minute, and she was about to give up.
The surrounding flames disappeared?
The fire that filled the forest suddenly rushed in one direction, and the flames swirled around Xia Jia's body.
at this time,
Xia Jia clenched his palms and raised them above his head. A flame slowly rose in his palms. All the flames in the surrounding forest were absorbed by the flame core in his palms, until Xia Jia's whole body was ignited by flames and he turned into a terrifying fire man.
"Uhhhhhhhh-"
The world is quiet.
The red world turned grayish white, with only carbonized trees around, and the leaves were also burned, revealing the starry sky.
Within a range of thousands of meters, only Xia Jia became the central light source, releasing terrifying high temperatures.
The gravity magic collapsed, and Ming sat on the ground.
The minotaur broke free from his restraints and let out an excited roar.
at this time……
Shaga moved.
He suddenly clenched the palm that was holding the core of the fire, and the terrifying high temperature gathered into a punch, which he blasted towards the position of the giant bull.
"Rihyakuhachi-style: Great Snake Nagi!"
The core of the fire in the entire forest was shot out by Shaka, and the terrifying flaming gale swirled and hit the giant bull.
The huge body twisted and dissolved in the firelight, and finally only a layer of black hide remained, which fell to the ground.
Xia Jia was in low spirits and fell to the ground, his face dull as he stared blankly at the ground covered with lava.
Chapter 42: Makinosuke
"Sorry to trouble you."
On the forest path, Shaka was lying on Yamato Mikado's back, with the fallen skin of the giant Minotaur wrapped around his waist, and the two were moving towards the city.
In the first battle, Xia Jia used all his trump cards, and his arms and legs were seriously injured, and even his ribs were cracked.
Before he could finish his words, he started coughing violently.
"Don't talk, Mr. Xia Jia. We'll be in the city soon." Ming quickened his pace slightly, his steps steady, and a guilty voice came out from the tip of his throat:
"I'm sorry, the reason you were injured so badly was because of us."
"No need to apologize. Didn't I tell you that I chose to fight for the honor of my clan?" Xia Jia said with relief, "Besides, if you hadn't come back, I would have died."
"But……"
Xia Jia's heart moved.
Thinking back to the fermented glutinous rice wine incident in the Far East, I guess I have never encountered people like Astraea's family.
So, the proposal went:
"I'm really sorry. In the future, please teach the children of our clan how to fight."
"it is good."
Fate did not refuse, and the two walked into the night and returned to the sword-making city.
The city gate.
Astraea, Cecil, Sakura and others are ready to go out of the city to rescue people.
"They're back! They're back!" Fei Niao shouted happily.
Astraea and Cecil breathed a sigh of relief.
Jian Yulei also smiled.
"Quick, send Mr. Xia Jia to the treatment room first."
Several people hurriedly carried Xia Jia to the treatment center, and used the money earned from this commission to buy high-level spiritual medicine to save his life.
Soon, Xia Jia's mental state improved a lot, but he still needed to rest for a few days because of the broken bones.
This is all thanks to the adventurers' strong vitality.
Jian Yulei, along with Sakura and the others, bowed to Xia Jia and apologized: "I'm sorry, thank you so much this time. This is the remaining reward for the commission, please accept it."
It was rare that the gods actually bowed to the children from the underworld and used honorifics.
Xia Jia was not polite. He took the reward and saw that it was 10 Faris, which was not a small amount.
Sakura added, "Because we discovered the monster tide, the city has increased the commission rewards. The city is now under martial law, and they should send out the army soon, or hire high-level adventurers to deal with it."
Ming promised: "I will fulfill my promise to Lord Xia Jia as soon as possible."
Everyone bowed again and returned to their residence. Chigusa also needed to be taken care of, and the child was more seriously injured.
on the way back.
Xia Jia looked at Cecil embarrassedly:
