The two of them flew quickly towards the target in full transformation, leaving tracks of silver strings and golden clouds in the air. The pressure from their passing was enough to make the disaster beasts retreat, and the weak individuals in general could not muster any hostility at all.
Jin Yulu asked curiously, "You seemed to have anticipated that we would be separated. Do you know the reason?"
"It's not that I expected it. It's that the spatial relic's effect is randomly activated and something will happen sooner or later. It's called the Thousand Mile Observation Mirror, and it's out of control, teleporting all over the island. It's easy to resist if you're awake, but it's unlucky that you were targeted when you were sleeping."
The two looked at each other and sighed.
It's no wonder that the causal magic that brings both blessings and disasters is accepted by everyone.
Last night, Jin Ruochu was sleeping at the edge, and Nan Zhiyi was in the middle. They teleported away together, leaving only Jin Yulu alone. I don’t know if it was lucky or unfortunate? Anyway, no one understood the mechanism of this thing.
After a while, the two of them crossed the safe zone, the underground city entrance area and other places with the spirit of burning their boats, and finally flew to the ruins village where the disaster beasts gathered.
Looking from high in the sky, there are hundreds and thousands of them, enough to support a war, and even the two strongest magic users would find it troublesome.
Jin Yulu widened her eyes and pointed at a distance:
"Instructor, look at the two beasts with broken heads at the 11 o'clock position. They must have been eaten by demon-eating insects. Why are they still able to move? Could it be some special magic?"
"You guessed right. These guys' bodies have long been filled with spider silk. They are just puppets."
"Can I understand this as an undead army?"
Hibiscus nodded.
"The bad news is that they are too close to the house where the spatial relics are stored. The good news is that the number of puppet disaster beasts is less than expected." The silver-haired girl frowned and murmured, "We can indeed try to clean them up, but using magic power beyond the threshold will trigger the defense mechanism."
Jin Yulu sighed, "So we are in a dilemma."
Chapter 78 Hermit Island is about to be submerged (6K)
In the disaster beast area of Hermit Island, deep in the dark cave.
A magic circle suddenly appeared on the ground and threw out Nan Zhiyi and Jin Ruochu. The two girls were still covered with grass quilts. As a result, they were thrown into an unfamiliar area while they were half asleep. It was so dark that they couldn't see their hands in front of them. What was worse was that they still hadn't adapted to the dizziness after the space teleportation.
At the same time, there was a rustling noise in the darkness, but it died down a little after the two men subconsciously unfolded their ceremonial attires.
Nan Zhiyi came to his senses first, and immediately pulled his companions against the solid stone wall. He sensed the presence of countless disaster beasts within his range, and realized that they were surrounded.
"what's the situation?"
The nervous pink-haired girl realized that something was not right and her sleepiness disappeared.
"... Remember what Mu Jin told us about the random teleportation of spatial relics at this stage? Unfortunately, we were teleported to a cave inhabited by a group of disaster beasts. We were really surrounded by enemies."
Jin Ruochu's body was filled with magic power, and he said firmly: "Don't fight to the end, leave as soon as possible."
Then she was dumbfounded. When the light generated by magic illuminated the surroundings, she saw many holes extending in all directions like a hornet's nest. How could they lead to the ground?
Not to mention the ground, it would be a blessing if we could not get lost.
The cramped, dark, damp and smelly environment underground was unbearable for them, it was like being buried alive. The worst thing was that there were disaster beasts approaching them, each with its fangs and claws bared, and even with some insect features, which was even more disgusting. Regardless of aesthetic or physiological disgust, they were one of the most annoying types of enemies for magical girls.
"Calm down and figure out the general direction first, otherwise you'll be like a headless fly when you try to break out later."
Nan Zhiyi licked the palm of her hand and let some saliva flow down, then she raised her arms and tried facing each direction. The magical girl's keen senses were enough to detect the slightest breeze in the air.
Just as she was examining carefully, a group of weasel-like disaster beasts appeared in the darkness. They were small in size but numerous, and looked like they were ready to attack her.
"These guys are so disgusting, they're just cricket pupae."
Jin Ruochu slightly released the pressure, but the dispelling effect became weaker and weaker. Even if the weak disaster beasts became more numerous, they would embolden each other and rush forward.
click!
Suddenly, cracks appeared on the stone wall, and pieces of debris fell. Black water came out of the gap, like liquid or some kind of dense substance. Then the whole cave rumbled, and the disaster beasts in front of them became more restless. They were wary of the magic girl and some unknown threat.
Nan Zhiyi suddenly pointed in a certain direction and said, "The exit is over there."
"The demon-eating insects are coming!"
Jin Ruochu flew over and knocked the dandelion girl away. Almost at the same time, the black torrent flew into nothingness and fought with the disaster beast. The two looked at each other with a lingering fear, and they dared not imagine what would happen if they were bathed by these microorganisms.
Before, Mu Jin had repeatedly warned them that there were a large number of demon-eating insects lurking in the ground, but they hadn't taken it seriously. Now, they just felt a chill all over their bodies. After all, this thing was too disgusting.
Nan Zhiyi put his right index finger and thumb together to mobilize magic power and activate the minimum field to wrap the two of them, leaving only space under their feet.
She snapped, "Run as fast as you can."
"learn."
Before they finished speaking, the two girls moved forward quickly under the shell with the starry sky as the background.
The repulsive force field outside the microcosm pushed aside the soil layer and rushed all the way along the cave exit. The disaster beasts and demon-eating insects that attempted to attack were simply unable to penetrate the defense and had to retreat. They simply chose to follow from a distance, like a patient hunter treating its prey.
Although the two of them ran all the way, they soon came to more forks in the road. Nan Zhiyi, who only knew the general direction, was startled and stopped.
"Oh no, now I can't tell the wind direction..."
"I have a solution."
Jin Ruochu took out a branch and said, "Heaven and earth, please guide Miss Nan Zhiyi and me so that we can reunite with our companions. You can do it. As long as luck is involved, we will not lose. Go ahead, little branch, it is decided that it is you."
Then she threw it casually and pointed at the direction where the tip of the branch was pointing.
Although the whole process was full of inexplicable humor, Jin Ruochu firmly believed in pulling the Dandelion Girl and kept running. After a while, they heard a loud noise.
The ground was shaking, accompanied by thunder and lightning. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the explosion was deafening. They immediately realized that they were not far from the ground, but because the island had a suppressive magic for some reason, it was difficult to break through. It seemed that something was fighting against the island's defense, and they vaguely heard someone calling their name... It must be Jin Yulu who could make such a big noise. The huge size of the World Serpent Magic was indeed suitable for broadcasting to the whole server.
Unfortunately, it returned to calm after a while.
Nan Zhiyi asserted: "Mu Jin must have stopped her, otherwise even the mythical magic wouldn't have been able to hold up if the island had fought back."
"This should be considered good news. After all, we are divided into two groups and no one is left alone," Jin Ruochu said with a sigh of relief. "Shall we go and meet up? Although the rock layer ahead is a bit troublesome, we should be able to catch up if we hurry."
"I can't catch up."
"why?"
"The first priority is to gain control of the island. Going to the ruins village is the best solution for Mu Jin, who can't find her companions for the time being. They should be able to fly over there."
As they were talking, the soil suddenly collapsed, and the foot line broke into countless cracks. The two of them only had time to grab each other before they collapsed into the depths along with the rocks. In an instant, Nan Zhiyi released her small universe and tried to rise by reaction force, but the next moment, countless white spider silk suddenly emerged around her and stuck to her body. The other party pulled her so hard that she almost lost her balance and fell into the depths of the cave.
After finally crawling out, we were suddenly back to the time before liberation, and the real overlord appeared in the darkness.
A spider with a trunk as big as an elephant squeezed out from the depths of the cave. Countless silk threads stretched out around it, controlling various disaster beasts like puppets. There was no end to the number. Its densely packed compound eyes stared at the two girls with desire.
"His-"
Jin Ruochu said blankly: "Could it be the spider that Doctor Mu marked when he drew the map? Have we run into a big boss?"
"Don't just stand there, meet the enemy."
Nan Zhiyi swung out a magic beam but it was blocked by a large number of disaster beasts controlled by the evil-eyed spider. They swarmed in continuously, and if they continued to fight away from home like this, they would surely be dragged to death.
After a few simple rounds, the girl realized that the situation was impossible. The small universe field could accommodate everyone, but at the same time, it would consume too much energy to squeeze through the underground rock layer and it would easily overturn.
She said quickly: "Jin Ruochu, you divine the way to the ruins village from the underground passage again, and we will kill directly there."
"I have to clarify that it is not divination but fate."
The pink-haired girl picked up a stone, infused it with good luck, and then threw it out to guide the direction. Success or failure depends on this move.
……
In the center of Hermit Island, the ruins village area.
The midday sun shone on the countless corpses of disaster beasts on the ground. After being hit by magic, most of them were incomplete, but as long as it did not affect their movements, they continued to fight, stubbornly and unyieldingly. Even if they were missing arms and legs, it would not prevent them from using their teeth as weapons. As long as the unknown control line was still alive, these puppets would not retire.
The several rounds of magic barrage rain from the hovering Jin Yulu had little effect. The girl clenched her teeth in annoyance.
"...I'm still not as good as my instructor in being able to kill enemies with just the essence."
"It won't work." Mu Jin, who was also floating not far away, warned, "Save your energy and clean up slowly. Although Jin Ruochu and Nan Zhiyi must be in urgent need, if we over-expend our energy, we'll be finished."
"Are we going to have to fight with the immortal puppet army in a constant battle of attrition?"
"We must use the manipulation line to find the evil-eyed spider."
Having said that, Mu Jin couldn't find any traces after some observation. These disaster beasts all had control reactions, and their numbers were so huge that they greatly slowed down the efficiency of the investigation.
Knowing the specific mechanism of the enemy does not mean that you can win easily. If the evil-eyed spider is determined to hide underground, it will be troublesome. Moreover, if it drags on like this, there will be more and more disaster beasts. After all, it is the most threatening, but it does not mean that there are no other beasts. There are also special species on the island that can rival the vanguard disaster beast, which is enough to put the triple awakened magical girl in danger of life.
After thinking for a while, the silver-haired girl made a prompt decision, "I will lower the magic power to lure the evil-eyed spider out to prey on me, and you lie in ambush and prepare to attack."
“…This is too dangerous.”
"We can't get into a war of attrition with them. This is the only way now."
Although Jin Yulu had a thousand worries in her heart, she could only nod after meeting Mu Jin's firm gaze. The commander decided to lead by example and no one could stop him.
On the other hand, the magical girl Hyacinthus is trustworthy. The many secrets of time magic give people a sense of security. It seems that she can always survive in desperate situations. This time is no exception. So we have to bet on the supreme leader of the Salvation Cult.
Boom!
Suddenly, the soil on the ground surged and cracked, splashing countless soil and rocks. The stone tracks that rose like a python proved that there was some high-speed object underneath.
The two people who were about to fight hard decided to wait and see because they felt a familiar breath.
In the underground cave, Nan Zhiyi and Jin Ruochu grabbed the huge body of the evil-eyed spider and stabbed it fiercely, causing blood to splatter and scream. Don't think that the underground is your home ground, that's for the disaster beast. You chose to deal with the magic girl in a narrow cave, you are looking for death.
"Take us up there or we'll be buried together."
Dandelion seeds flew everywhere, accompanied by a burst of magic power that poured into the body of the disaster beast. It angrily jumped out of the soil. The sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.
The sudden change in the environment caught them off guard, and a carelessness exposed a flaw, and the two sides separated in mid-air. As a battle-hardened disaster beast, it would never miss an opportunity. In an instant, the evil-eyed spider swung out its long legs comparable to tree trunks, and the saw teeth on it flashed with a cold light that was enough to tear the dress apart. This move was a blood-drinking move.
"pause."
As Mu Jin silently thought to herself, the world suddenly lost its color and everything became still.
Time magic can be launched anytime and anywhere without any gaps, without any skill pre-swing, and can be used for both sneak attacks and assassinations as well as blocking the enemy's killing moves. For example, the evil-eyed spider hunts at zero distance, and a disaster beast attacks with the strongest weapon, which is indeed a certain threat.
She flew into the air and pushed the targets Nan Zhiyi and Jin Ruochu towards Jin Yulu, and the only ones left were enemies.
8 seconds left.
According to intelligence, although the evil-eye spider can also spin silk that is as strong as steel and has special toughness, it can only be truly manipulated by "hands".
Thanks to the flow of the sands of time, the frozen world allowed Hibiscus to see clearly the countless threads connecting it.
It was even more exaggerated than I had imagined. There were so many that I couldn't even count them. Thousands of tiny threads were tied tightly together with the weavers, covering the entire island. What was even more terrifying was that the magic girls also had this effect. This was a subtle control that could hardly be called an attack. Over time, the body would gradually be controlled. No wonder it had to hide, because the endless supply of puppet soldiers and traps scattered across the island were enough to deal with the enemy.
But because of this, if you neglect to use magic to strengthen your body, your combat ability will be improved, and those who slack off deserve to fail. Remember one thing: Don't be stingy when killing people.
Hibiscus threw the flying knife and accurately hit the Evil Eye Spider's fragile leg joint.
In the 10th second, the world regains its color.
Jin Ruochu and Nan Zhiyi, who thought they were seriously injured this time, suddenly felt a push that threw them out. The next moment, Jin Yulu in front of them caught them steadily. They came to their senses and immediately adjusted their balance to maintain their flying posture.
There is no need to guess that time magic saved the teammates again, so Mu Jin must be there too.
Click!
Turning around, he saw a series of explosions. The magic output was small but it accurately hit every vulnerable joint of the evil-eyed spider. Although it was big, its weaknesses were exposed under the all-round observation and magic operation assisted by the hair accessories' mental power. The pause was enough for Mu Jin to prepare a fatal blow.
As expected, the disaster beast let out a mournful cry. After being dismembered, it immediately wanted to regenerate, but everything was too slow in the face of time magic.
With a sound of "Puff", the beam of light passed through the body and a heart wrapped in silk thread flew out, which was the weak spot of the evil-eyed spider. For most disaster beasts, this step is equivalent to death, but it is different. Except for the core, even the shell is considered a puppet. In other words, when the opponent thinks he has defeated this guy, he can often kill him. This mechanism made the battle of the Hermit Island in the original story line go through many twists and turns, and intelligence was piled up with human lives.
Mu Jin steadily caught the heart, which was only the size of a palm.
Seeing this, the disaster beast suddenly panicked. Even though it had lost eight legs, it still struggled to turn over and flap its wings. Such performance made the other three magical girls look confused.
There are obviously no fatal injuries. Could that heart be able to subdue the evil-eyed spider?
Hibiscus nodded the hourglass-shaped hair accessory on her head in a transformed state. The surging mental power completely overwhelmed the violent and empty will of the disaster beast and completely took away control of its heart.
The silver-haired girl explained, "Thanks to you for consuming it in advance, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to get it. I have injected spiritual power into this heart to trigger the taming technique left over from the previous era."
She smiled faintly at the disaster beast and said, "Since you want it, I'll give it to you."
Snapped!
The evil-eyed spider crawled over respectfully and swallowed the heart again. At the same time, the controlled disaster beasts around it lowered their guards and showed a gesture of submission. At this moment, the things that had been domesticated deep in their genes and even became instincts revived, and they were loyal to the new owner of the island. A new era had arrived.
Hundreds and thousands of disaster beasts bowed their heads to the hibiscus, crouching in layers from the inside to the outside, like pilgrims.
They are no longer a threat and can even be considered excellent helpers.
If she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that the disaster beast could be tamed, which once again proved the accuracy of the netizens' intelligence. A mere evil-eyed spider, how do you feel now? How do you feel? You've turned into a dog.
The methods used in the previous era were so incredible that they were able to cultivate demon-eating insects and tame disaster beasts. So, the "disaster beast invasion" is not the first time in history?
Or the first time in this round of history.
