The Demigod-class lightning light gradually dissipated, and a strange burning smell filled the entire open space.
Angel Among Dark Vision who was almost blinded, Feathered Serpent's huge body no longer stood upright, but slumped limply on its coiled tail. Black liquid slowly flowed out of the huge mouth that originally spit out the snake core - it was the poisonous blood that was infected with the disease, which had gradually taken hold and began to destroy the organs in Feathered Serpent's body.
As for the thick wings spread out to the maximum angle on the snake's back, the white feathers were burned away by the hot lightning, leaving only a skinny skeleton covering its rolled-up snake body.
In the attack of "disease" and "Lightning Storm", this Demigod level Feathered Serpent died like this?
Angel was a little afraid to confirm. She opened Spirit Vision and found that the faint glow on Feathered Serpent's huge body was slowly condensing. The "Zombie" that had been resurrected several times around him also died of a new round of illness. Then she approached cautiously, entered the palace foundation that had not yet been completed, and came to the body of Feathered Serpent.
"It doesn't have Spirit Body Threads."
Klein, who released the ability of Demigod, put away the precious "Leimano's Travel Notes", picked up two Copper Whistle, followed Angel step by step, and suddenly said.
It means that this Feathered Serpent was originally dead and was reawakened by some kind of power?
After hearing Klein's words, Angel began to analyze the battle just now.
She can feel the power of "Death" in Feathered Serpent. This kind of induction based on divinity is difficult to fake. Even if the other party is not Demigod, he must have some kind of Demigod level power, such as Mystical Item, Beyonder Characteristic, or some kind of gift...
But judging from the battle process and results, this Feathered Serpent cannot be called the real Demigod at all. Its attack method is rigid and stiff. In addition to using the death breath it emits to revive the surrounding Zombie and summon endless ghosts, it can only use its huge body to carry out "suppression" attacks.
Of course, the advantage of size is its biggest support, or the biggest support of all giant creatures. This is clearly reflected in the battle between Angel and "King of the North" in "The Travels of Grosell". When Sequence 5's Ice Dragon beat all Sequence 5 and Sequence 6 to a standstill, if not for everyone's tacit cooperation, let alone killing each other, the whole army might have been annihilated.
If that is not Ice Dragon, but a tiger lion, two Sequence 5 can easily solve it...
And this Feathered Serpent is probably just a "Luck son" who has a certain amount of Demigod power, but cannot fully control the power itself?
Thinking of this, she continued to approach the body of Feathered Serpent, and pulled back the hair that had returned to normal shape. She was about to pull out and insert it into the other person's body. "Sword of Dawn" had been burnt black by the Lightning Storm just now, but suddenly she found that the huge snake's body had a bit of dark green in the black, and there were many white feathers growing between the gaps. The scales began to turn gray, like a weathered slate, quickly becoming rough, and cracks appeared on the edges.
"It seems that it has indeed been dead for a long time. Perhaps these 'Zombie' driven by it are building a mausoleum for it? Is this some kind of resurrection method?"
Behind the two of them, Alger, who had just escaped with Angel's Mirror Substitution, murmured, reaching out to touch Feathered Serpent's fragile scales, but stopped when he was about to touch them.
The three of them just watched quietly as Feathered Serpent's body "died" quickly. The scales fell off in pieces and turned into fly ash when they landed on the ground. The flesh and blood underneath had long since decayed and disappeared. The spines that were linked together lost their protection and were scattered on the ground. They were piled up with the surrounding "Zombie" bodies that it once controlled, forming a strange scene like Burial Ground in the open air.
Among these bones, except for Angel's "Sword of Dawn", there was only one feather that exuded a pale luster under Spirit Vision. It was different from the white feathers that were soaked in oil and looked dirty, but had a smooth surface and an elegant arc shape, just like Angel's wings.
Beyonder Characteristic, or some kind of Mystical Item that is the source of Feathered Serpent's power?
Angel guessed, instead of touching it directly with his hands, he picked it up with invisible silk thread. He looked at the two people beside him and saw that they had no objection. He put the feather into the bag he carried with him and sealed it with Wall of Spirituality.
——Wait until the battle is over before disposing of the loot. This is a rule that the three of them agreed upon before the action.
"Sword of Dawn", which was used as a throwing object and successfully attracted Lightning Strike, turned back into a bone bracelet and put it on. Angel could feel the fatigue that quickly spread from the body to her limbs. However, compared to before, the side effects of "Knight Bracelet" could not have much impact on her, and the duration would be greatly shortened. It might take less than half an hour to fully recover.
Just like Mid Sequence's various Beyonder Abilitys are difficult to have an effect on High Sequence, the negative effects of Mystical Item will also be greatly weakened on me... She thought about it, scanning the remains of Feathered Serpent on the ground and "Zombie" of various races, and said:
"Just keep going."
Passing through the empty space that returned to deathly silence, the three of them continued to walk deeper into the forest on the same path as last time. This time, they did not hear the faint call of Wind Chime Tree. Perhaps it was because an old tree died and the other new tree had not yet grown into a Beyonder Creature that could actively hunt. Or maybe they had already divided their territories, and other Wind Chime Tree would stay away from here and would not let their hunting ranges overlap with each other.
"There are creatures like Azure Shadow Falcon that are easy to hunt here, and there are also powerful Demigod-level Beyonder Creature, but I have never seen them take the initiative to attack, they just stay in their own territory..."
Alger is still walking at the forefront, but he is much more cautious than before. He is holding a lantern in one hand and "Magician Pocket Watch" in the other hand, ready to press the crown at any time to gain the ability of Paper Figurine Substitute.
His low words drifted back with the wind and entered the ears of Angel and Klein.
"The battle just now was very noisy, and other nearby creatures must have fled after hearing the news. Although this will reduce the benefits of our exploration, relatively speaking, the journey into the ruins in the center of the island will be much smoother."
With that said, the three of them had arrived at the edge of the dense forest, and arrived at the area covered with heavy cobwebs, where Hunting Black Spider was ambushing in the canopy of the tree.
Compared with the last time we arrived, there are many more remains of creatures inside the spider web, including humans and various animals. Their common feature is that they have lost all their flesh and bones, leaving only dead bones hanging with fur or clothing, scattered among the spider webs, like warning signs of danger to those who come after them.
"Those spiders are gone."
Klein squinted his eyes for a while and then said.
Through Spirit Body Threads's vision, he can detect spiders hidden behind the canopy of trees and under cobwebs. This distance was only 100 meters when he was first promoted to "Marionettist". However, through the gradual digestion of Potion and the summary of Acting Rule, Klein, who can skillfully use his abilities, can already detect creatures within 300 meters.
Of course, Demigod Feathered Serpent who was hiding underground just now does not count, otherwise I would have told them to run away together... He laughed at himself in his heart and scanned the area again to make sure that there were no living objects in the spider web.
"It seems that the battle just now scared them all away and even left their own territory. That Feathered Serpent must have caused trouble to the surrounding 'neighbors'."
Alger sneered, as a mockery of Feathered Serpent who had almost crushed him into a meat pie, and then continued to move forward.
This time they simply did not go around the cobwebs. Instead, Angel and Klein summoned flames respectively to burn away the curtain-like cobwebs blocking the road and create a straight road.
When the black spiders returned to their territory, they found that their cozy home had been burned down by three uninvited guests. They had already left the island.
I wonder if this kind of injury can promote the digestion of "Despair" Potion... As soon as this evil thought came into Angel's heart, he felt that the skin all over his body was tight and his hairs stood up. Spirituality also frantically gave dangerous reminders.
This level of vigilance has occurred less than five times in her Beyonder career of nearly a year, and each time it means that she will face an extremely powerful enemy.
Another "Demigod" sneak attack? Or has he stepped into some extremely dangerous trap?
At this moment, Angel's brain was running faster than ever. Her eyes passed over the slowly burning spider web, passed over the grass in the shadow, and stopped on a gray-white stone.
No, that's not a stone!
Under the off-white object, which is about the same size as a person, a base composed of several slender roots of the same color is looming. On the other side of the stone away from the three people, smaller stones are inlaid on it, like protruding eyes.
That was a "Hunting Black Spider", a Beyonder Creature that turned into stone!
The spiders who call this forest home were not scared away by the battle between the three men and Feathered Serpent. Instead, they all died and turned into stones without life, Spirit Body, and unable to sense Spirit Body Threads!
And the spider web has become the hunting ground of that deadly hunter.
Klein and Alger beside her felt the fatal shadow shrouding their heads like a substance due to the gap in sequence. Things shrouded in the thin moonlight in front of them seemed to be covered with frosted glass and became hazy.
Their hands and feet were frozen in place, starting from the fingertips, turning gray little by little, losing the luster of their skin, and turning into lifeless stones like the "Hunting Black Spider" under the crimson Crimson Moon light.
Witnessing this, Klein reacted immediately. The "Creeping Hunger" on his left hand became transparent, and his right hand tried to grab Alger on the other side. However, their feet closer to the ground had Petrification reached their knees and they were unable to take a step, let alone let their bodies touch each other, and "Teleportation" left together.
Bang——
There was a sharp sound, and a black flame ignited on the other side of the spider web, away from the dense forest. It was less than 30 meters away from the three of them. It was only the size of a finger, but it instantly shone in the eyes of Klein and Alger, like a light of hope.
Without hesitation, Klein gave up "Teleportation". Part of Petrification's body was enveloped in bright yellow flames and suddenly appeared next to the black flames. At the same time, he looked at another piece of withered yellow grass farther away. His gray-white and unbendable fingers shook slightly, and another flame ignited there.
There were two clear and crisp flame explosions in succession. Angel and Alger came to Klein through Flaming Jump. The former used In order to gain the ability of the "hypocritical" ring, the latter held "Magician Pocket Watch"'s hand and directly hit it against his waist, and used the impact to press the crown, and also temporarily gained some of the abilities belonging to "Magician".
It's like three Magician performing together...Klein's thoughts shrouded in a sense of crisis reluctantly took a break, and then immediately jumped to a handful of flames further away. His "Marionettist" level Flaming Jump can Jumping out of the range of 100 meters, but in order to take care of "Hanged Man" who was only "Magician", the flames were only ignited within 30 meters each time. But even so, the tacit cooperation of the three people allowed them to quickly stay away from the spider web-covered forest and continuously jump to the vicinity of an ancient ruins.
After passing an invisible boundary, Angel felt that the danger reminder from Spirituality disappeared instantly. She subconsciously looked back and saw that the forest dyed gray-white by cobwebs and many stones was hundreds of meters away. No suspicious targets were found in it, but it was as quiet as when they first entered, as if dead.
"Then... what exactly is it?"
Alger asked hesitantly. His face was so pale that Angel almost thought that "Petrification" had spread to the area above his neck. He held the pocket watch that saved his life tightly in his hand. The gray that had spread to his elbows was fading away little by little, and his fingertips gradually returned to red.
"Some kind of creature that is stronger than Feathered Serpent has Petrification ability... It is likely that underground, the Petrification on our feet is faster than our hands."
Klein replied. While shaking his stiff legs, he pressed the top hat on his head. He was surprised to find that this inanimate object was also affected by "Petrification". The brim of the hat had become hard and no longer as soft as silk.
"It's 'Demoness'..." Angel thought for a moment and said, "Or it's the high-level Beyonder Creature originating from 'Demoness' Pathway. It just subconsciously emits its own ability, which is enough to Petrification and kill all living things in that area."
As Sequence 4, she was not immediately affected by "Petrification" like the other two, but when she was in that area, she could still feel that her limbs had become stiff and her thoughts were almost frozen, as if her entire body did not belong to her.
Most importantly, this feeling reminded her of the aura of destruction she felt when using "Calamity" and "Charm". Although the two expressions were completely different, in the final analysis, they were both some form of "destruction" and some external manifestation of "decline".
At least it was "Unaging", maybe one step closer, reaching the level of "Catastrophe" Demoness... She made a judgment with some fear.
"Fortunately, it seems that no Beyonder Creature dares to get close to this ruins. Otherwise, if the guy who just made 'Petrification' comes over, we may have to use 'Teleportation' to escape immediately, and we may not even be able to escape."
Klein spoke in a calm tone, but his frown still revealed his uneasy mood.
The other two nodded in agreement and looked at the ruins that had saved them.
Among the collapsed stone pillars, hollow walls and buildings that can still see a hint of Fourth Epoch style, a magnificent building with a complete main body stands in the most conspicuous position.
"That is our goal today. It may contain ancient ruins worth no less than 'Card of Blasphemy'."
Alger stretched out his hand and said with a slightly excited tone.
There is another chapter tonight
