Chapter 174 The Gift of Tartaros
The chest injury should have healed, at least Lu Chen did not feel any pain anymore, but similar to when he was pierced by James last time, his body was very weak. Fortunately, he did not fall into a coma this time; it may be because of the effect of life water, or it may be that the injury was not serious that time, but the current situation is far less than that of being locked up in the underground palace.
The chaos in the bushes in the distance was reflected in the left eye. Although there were not many, the monsters were indeed running away, which only means that the assassins following behind did not give up.
Looking at the large open space in front of him, the huge alchemy array that had been covered with leaves, Lu Chen, who was leaning against the big stone, continued to pour fifth-level life water into his mouth.
After a while, Evelyn returned with the living thing he wanted.
After kissing her gratefully, Lu Chen opened the alchemy array step by step. Without a large number of scrolls, this short-term useless magic array he had just obtained was the only one he could rely on now.
But just when Lu Chen wanted Evelyn to hide first, he suddenly received a message that made him dizzy: "You! Why are you dead?"
He was very urged to vomit blood and curse Tartaros, but when he thought that the other party might have an explanation for why he was immortal twice, he could only ask back with a angrily voice: "Hisser Taal, I am clearly alive, but I am just a little weak. Can you say this... to make it clear, or do you mean that my body is dead?" Halfway through, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something else, after all, this is a surreal world for him.
"No, I won't feel wrong. Judging by the standards of the present world, you are indeed dead, but your soul fire has not been extinguished, and your physical condition seems to be recovering slowly. This is too incredible. Is it the rule of your original world? It's impossible. For any life, death beyond the flesh should be..."
There was a hint of surprise in depression. Although the other party's words were gone at the critical moment, the contents below could be guessed with a little touch; there was no rush, and Lu Chen waited so happily for Taltaros to continue speaking.
"Forget it, your current situation is not ordinary weakness, but your soul is still in a state of injury. Except for the fruits grown by the World Tree, no medicine can accelerate your recovery; of course, if you are not taboo, you can also use this alchemy array to devour other lives to supplement it, but then you must connect it to your body, that is, to engrave it directly on the body."
A little disappointed, the other party did not say the answer he wanted, but instead gave an even more terrifying explanation. After all, for himself who is used to the earth's civilization, something like soul cannot be understood. But when thinking about the loss of souls, Lu Chen could only pretend to be worried and asked: "Hell Tarr, is there any side effect of carving alchemy on him? Can devouring other lives increase your strength at the same time?"
"Side effects? You are worried that I can monitor you at any time. Haha, don't worry, I'm not that bored, and starting this alchemy array requires magical blood and spells. No matter how you say it, you are my messenger on earth. To lose your life is to damage myself. As for power, it will increase a little, but don't expect to cultivate to the divine level in this way, just like wealth. No matter how much you get, you won't use it, it's just decorations for embellishment, which may cause unnecessary trouble." Tartarus gave a demonic temptation. Although every sentence is true, these are all to accelerate his goal, because only powerful vitality can support his countersummoning.
Of course, Lu Chen would not believe all the words of this ancient god, but he was still very moved by his words about power. Moreover, he knew very well that "quantitative change can cause qualitative change", and the so-called failure to use wealth was not absolute for him. But just as he was thinking hard whether there were other questions to worry about, he suddenly felt that Evelyn was pushing him in a hurry.
Opening his eyes, Evelyn didn't need to explain to him. Lu Chen had already seen it. The group of assassins who were chasing endlessly were approaching, and some injured and escaped monsters were already in their normal sight.
"Luheen..."
"Don't be afraid, those ignorant enemies are coming. You can find a place to hide first." Evelyn interrupted Lu Chen, and when she saw her face change slightly, she added: "Haha, don't worry, I'm not asking you to run alone, help me watch the back, and don't let the enemy attack me. Also, don't step into the magic circle I drew."
"...Well, then be careful." Looking at Lu Chen's eyes, she was sure that there was no intention of sacrificing it. After getting the explanation, Evelyn nodded and with great concern, she disappeared in the bushes. She didn't understand what the little lover wanted to do, but she knew that it was not the time when children were in love, and even though she observed him, she had not found that he had done anything useless.
Still sitting next to the big stone, Lu Chen was so weak that he could not use any power, just taking out a bow and arrow to pretend. Two fatal injuries failed to kill him, which made him subconsciously form a "immortal" mentality. Apart from a little nervousness, he didn't have much worry at all. And this expression inadvertently met the needs of this trap.
As they chased after the two of them, they were missing two more. Although they followed the two of them, they could not completely avoid the moving monsters. The only thing they were glad that they did not encounter the group of monsters. Most of them were driven away with their joint efforts, and only a few of them might have been starved and died under their daggers.
When they could see the target, the assassins who had no potion supplements were already panting.
When clearly seeing the opponent sitting there without moving, the assassins stopped and took the opportunity to breathe and observed it around, but nothing could be seen except the ridiculously large pile of leaves.
"Where is that woman?" Although I knew that most of the time I couldn't ask, the assassin, one of the two team leaders, asked, and asked his subordinates to raise a short crossbow.
After a moment of silence, Lu Chen quickly took out a large shield from the space ring and protected him in front of him. The conversation with Taltaros just now made him forget this. "Nonsense, it's all dead anyway, why should I tell you?" Lu Chen, who was hiding behind the shield, shouted loudly, and deliberately made the voice a little breathing, showing that he was injured.
After receiving the opponent's answer, the speaking leader looked at another leader. The second leader shook his head at him and said, "Little guy, as long as you tell the direction of the woman's escape, we can not kill you for the time being. When we catch that woman, we will send you to our master. With your ability to avoid monsters, I believe that as long as you are willing to be loyal, the master will definitely reuse you."
At first, it was a little inexplicable. It was not until the other party finished speaking that Lu Chen understood that they could not find Evelyn's trace: "Haha, no matter whether what you said is true or false, it is useless. Let's hurry up and pray for your companions lurking in the academy team, or you can also try to ask me for my soul after death." There was no need to delay time, Lu Chen simply said to death.
"You..." The second team leader wanted to continue lobbying, but was immediately interrupted by the first team leader: "Don't talk nonsense to him. This is already a dangerous fifth-level monster area. It will be really difficult to drag her down and let her escape to the sixth-level monster activity area. She only has one person, and we have fifteen, which can easily attract the attention of the monster." After that, he made a gesture to let the three people walk from the middle and both sides towards Lu Chen.
Even ghosts will not believe a trap with a diameter of more than ten meters in a short time, let alone it is so obvious, just like I was deliberately telling people that there is a trap under the leaves, but there is no trace on both sides of the road, which is very likely to have extremely lethal traps. Therefore, out of caution and convention, the leader has given such an order.
When the second team leader saw that his companion had issued instructions, he stopped saying anything and immediately paid attention to the situation around him.
The enemy approached step by step made Lu Chen feel anxious. The traces of intentional exposure were originally used to confuse the opponent's judgment and make them think that such an obvious trap is not a trap, but they did not expect that the other party would be so careful, and their cleverness and knowledge of the earth would lose their effect at once.
But just as the three pathfinders walked cautiously halfway, the one on Lu Chen's left fell to the ground without even having time to scream. Then, the exposed Evelyn called "speed technique" and rushed into the alchemy array and rushed towards Lu Chen.
Seeing this scene, the assassins naturally thought that this was a fake trap used to delay time, and the woman could not bear to leave her companions and return, so everyone ran into the alchemy array without hesitation and rushed towards the two of them straight; not to mention that the other party also said the most troublesome thing for them. If they could not intercept them here and run desperately, they might really have to chase into the area of the sixth-level monster.
At the same time, Lu Chen was completely shocked and planned to use the alchemy array to bet on his life here because he only had a clear mind and a little mental power. Not to mention the speed technique, he could not even release half a small water ball. However, although the enemy has entered the alchemy array, Evelyn, who is in danger for himself, is also inside. The bigger problem is that the alchemy array has never used unbound lives, and it is not sure whether it can destroy the enemy as soon as it is activated...
Just when Lu Chen was at a loss, Taltaros's voice came in time: "There are five people who are higher than you. Even if they launch the alchemy array, you will never escape and die now. This is a prayer used by humans to sacrifice me. If you are willing to sacrifice others to me, I can barely pull a temporary space point and give you a subordinate who is close to the monster to you."
As soon as the other party finished speaking, a short ancient text appeared in Lu Chen's mind. At the same time, Evelyn, who had the strength of six stars, just ran to her side; without hesitation and no choice, Lu Chen immediately launched the alchemy array and recited the prayer.
A feeling of feeling of tearing the souls came. The two leaders were frightened to find that except for themselves, there were only two other six-star junior subordinates around them, and all the others disappeared innocently. Then, before they came to their senses, all the leaves under their feet were blown away. In the center of a huge magic circle with dim fluorescent light, a huge dog head with four blood pupils rose first, and then a cheerful and thick snake tail. When the back with a serrated mane appeared, the monster's forelimbs struggled out of the fluorescent light of the alchemy array and stepped on the earth in front of them. For a moment, the remaining four assassins fell into a smoky and dullness.
"Hellhound?!" Lu Chen was shocked. This thing is not unfamiliar to him who often plays games. Whether it is the three-headed Seberros or the four-eyed Galm, they are irreplaceable traditional monsters in the game, and the most important thing is the mythical product of the earth.
Evelyn, who wanted to pick up Lu Chen and escape, was so shocked that she forgot her original intention. She was left with instinctively blocking Lu Chen, holding the dragon-tooth dagger in both hands, staring at the two monsters tall in horror. Although she kept telling herself that this must be a pet brought by her little lover, her feet still couldn't stop trembling slightly.
"This is my limit. It just happens to be able to get rid of your current enemy. You can directly send orders to it with your mind, but you have to be careful and don't let the enemy kill you first." Taltaros heard his somewhat tired voice.
It was not until then that Lu Chen let out a sigh and sent a sincere thank-you message: "Thank you for your gift, Lord Tarr, I will definitely not disappoint you."
Taltaros did not come back for the message, and Lu Chen no longer cared about him. He hugged trembling Evelyn from behind, and then issued an order to kill the last four assassins to the Hellhound.
