Devil's Path

Chapter 1: long wait

Views:

Another world, the continent of Seth, the center of the dark swamp.

A team of about fifty people guarded a girl in a gorgeous robe against a huge monster with a snake-like head and horns.

This beautiful girl in Chinese costume is Emma, the third princess of the Demon Singa Empire, and the youngest one.

"His Royal Highness, forget it! This is a second-evolved super-order monster! Snake locust, we can't catch it alive now." A sergeant who is obviously the leader must respectfully say to the 17-year-old little princess. Sweat has been faintly visible on it.

What he didn't say was that, in fact, with these people alone, it would be a little difficult to protect themselves, let alone capture the king of the Dark Swamp alive that even the Lich King had to deal with carefully.

Originally, this hunting didn't intend to enter the depths of the swamp. But the wayward little princess thought it was not challenging to bully those little things with little strength on the edge of the swamp, so she went deeper and deeper. When they found something wrong, these people had already entered the territory of snake locusts.

"I can't just forget it!" The princess was already attracted by the powerful strength of the snake locust.

"This princess must catch it alive and make it my battle pet. Look at my two brothers and sisters who dare to make fun of me." It turns out that Princess Emma's brothers and sisters all have powerful combat pets. Some well-behaved monsters have no combat effectiveness. This is indeed looked down upon by others in the demons who admire strong power extremely.

The captain of the guard sighed in his heart. If he goes out, he is destined to be a meat bun and a dog! There was no return, but the princess had to listen to what she said, so she winked at a subordinate next to her, and the subordinate ran to a short distance with a brick-sized magic microphone and began to call for support.

This brick-sized magic microphone has the same function as the earth’s mobile phone, but its main composition is magic elements, relying on two magic arrays of the same frequency to receive and transmit sounds.

Looking at the snake locust, which was three stories high, the little princess had obviously forgotten the danger, and her eyes glowed with joy. Thinking of the surprise and admiration of my brothers and sisters when they saw the snake locust, my heart felt refreshed.

The captain of the guard standing next to him only hoped that the princess would not let himself attack now, that he could drag it for a while. At this time, there have been reports from the subordinates, and the support will be there in 10 minutes. The captain of the guard felt a little more at ease, and when the support arrived, it would be difficult for the snake locust to run.

But what I am afraid of will come. Destiny is like this. The more you pray, the farther away you will be. What you don't want to get, but you won't be able to drive it away.

"Captain of the guard, attack now!" The little princess Emma has recovered from her endless reverie.

"His Royal Highness, please wait, support will be here soon!" The captain of the guard heard the princess's words and his heart missed a beat, and the bean-sized cold sweat instantly covered his forehead.

"Since the support is coming soon, then you can attack now, hold it, don't let it run." Her Royal Highness didn't have so many worries. From childhood to adulthood, what she wants to get is not caught by hand.

I've only heard of super-order beasts that died in battle, but I haven't heard of any super-order beasts that will escape without a fight. The captain of the guard thought in his heart that he didn't dare to say it, and now he can only bite the bullet, and being able to rush to it with support is also considered a victory.

Wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead, the captain of the guard raised his spirits and ordered the soldiers behind him loudly: "The guards enter the magic armor and are ready to attack!"

I saw ten warriors wearing black soft armor in the front of the queue, swiping their left hands to the silver collar on their necks, and the whole person was wrapped in a huge black armor that was 6 meters high.

This is a magic armor for combat. The whole armor is made of high-strength composite metal, which has excellent firmness and resistance to blows, and the surface is anti-magic coating, so that it has a good ability to resist magic blows.

The entire magic battle armor is powered by magic energy blocks, which are manipulated by people with mental power in the breastplate. There are many meridian-like circuits in the magic armor, and the entire magic armor is blessed with countless magic arrays, which can be used only by people's mental power to activate them through these meridians. Although it looks like the whole body of the steel 6-meter-high magic armor is very heavy, it actually has the same flexibility as a human being. The only drawback is that they can't fight for a long time. After all, to support such a huge magic armor high-intensity movement, the magic energy consumed is huge. Generally, the magic energy block loaded in this kind of magic armor can last about ten hours in normal work, and if it is in such a high-intensity combat state, it can only be three hours at most.

Moreover, hundreds of magic circles on the magic armor need to be controlled by mental power, and the combat and movement of the magic armor also need mental power to command, which is a great load for the person driving the magic armor, so even if the magic armor can support In high-intensity battles for a long time, drivers cannot use their mental power for more than two hours continuously for a long time.

Not even the Great Magister.

Ten six-meter-high magic armors stood in front of the team, and the sun shone on the black anti-magic coating of the magic armor and gave a gray halo, giving people a gloomy sense of depression. .

Snake locust looked at these ten black magic armors that were not as tall as they were thousands of meters away and didn't feel much disturbed. To survive the second evolution, it has experienced no more than a little bit. It has experienced no fewer than hundreds of battles. It has been hovering on the line of life and death many times. It can do without knowing the strength of the opponent. To eight or nine is not to leave ten.

These humans and these strange magic armor snake locusts have not been too much in their eyes. Today's human strength is too far worse than before. This is also the reason why the snake locusts did not take the initiative to attack from the beginning.

Since the appearance of the magic armor, there have been fewer and fewer strong men among human beings. Five well-trained and appropriate magic armors can easily defeat the previous fighting saints, sword saints and great magicians, and the requirements for driving these magic armors are very low, as long as they are both magic and martial arts. Even as long as you have a stronger body and the mental power of an apprentice mage, you can manipulate it.

Even these guards are no more than high-ranking warriors to increase the level of magicians.

Such a low condition can have such a high strength, which makes many people choose to be a magic warrior. So magic armor has become the mainstream now. Most people rarely practice advanced martial arts, because few people can achieve the strength of fighting saints and sword masters in their lives. Load, after all, such a large magic armor puts a considerable load on the human body during high-speed movement.

Because it relies on meditation to exercise mental power, magic is not as declining as martial arts. What people are pursuing now is to train their mental power to support longer-term magic armor battles.

Snake locust shrank his body slightly so that he could achieve both offense and defense more flexibly.

This small movement fell in everyone's eyes. The captain of the guard knew that it was the snake locust who was a little impatient and wanted to attack first.

But this action fell in the eyes of the 17-year-old little Princess Emma, but it obviously changed its taste and became a preparatory action for escape.

"Hurry up!" The little princess was also a little anxious.

The ten demon armor warriors heard the little princess’s order without hesitation. Four backed up and set up the defensive enchantment to protect everyone. The other six people combined their hands and used powerful magic elements to condense into a handful of about 5 meters. The long black sword rushed towards the snake locust.

The snake locust screamed lowly, as if laughing at the unprofessional and irresponsible of these demons, with a big mouth, a black magic bullet the size of a basin flew out.

The magic armor that ran at the forefront didn’t even have time to activate the magic defense enchantment, but just heard a boom. The black magic bullet ripped the magic armor’s anti-magic coating and exploded directly on the breastplate into a huge one. It's sunken, and the people inside seem to be more ill-fortuned.

The remaining 5 magic armors did not shrink at all because of the encounters of their companions. The five people fanned out and launched a siege to the snake locust.

Snake locust is so powerful, it is a second-evolved super-order monster. The Super-Order Warcraft alone can already compete with Dousheng, let alone the once-evolved Super-Order Warcraft, and the Warlord might not be able to use it.

The five-meter-long giant sword made of magic condensed on the snake locust is only a little skin trauma. On the contrary, once the snake locust's attack is completed, the magic armor must go directly to the recycling and processing plant.

The battle lasted less than 5 minutes, and three magic armors had already been declared out, and the snake locust suffered only a little harmless injury. This little injury is just bleeding for the snake locust, and it doesn't affect anything. Although the wound cut by the big sword condensed by the dark magic element is not easy to heal, for the snake locust, after a few days of rest, the wound will not even leave a scar.

Two more magic armors were added to the battle, but the battle was still one-sided.

The snake locust threw the 5 magic armors up and down. This was not like a battle, but rather like a game of eagle catching chicks.

The dramatic scene embarrassed the growth of the guard, and also annoyed the little princess Emma.

These six-meter-tall black magic armors are known as meat grinders on the battlefield, and sickles in the hands of the god of death. The fighters who manipulate the magic armor are also masters in the guards. But now these death gods with sickles seem to be dancing cramps with cotton candy.

Her Royal Highness Princess Emma was angry.

When the two defensive armors joined the battle, the little princess began to sing complicated spells in a low voice with her eyes closed, preparing to cast a large summoning technique that had never been used since she learned it.

Grand Summoning can summon powerful creatures from other worlds for the summoners to drive, but this magic has many significant shortcomings. For example, if the casting time is too long, it may not be successful every time it is cast, and it may not necessarily be a powerful creature that appears after the summoning is successful.

After the summoning is successful, the selected creatures that are not strong enough will be decomposed in this short time and space teleportation, and sometimes the summoned creatures are too powerful to be driven by the summoner, but will threaten it. The caller himself.

It's not uncommon to be killed by a creature called by one's own, and there have been more than one or two occurrences of this kind of thing in history. It's just that this probability is much smaller than the summon failure, basically negligible.

After being hit by the black lightning from the long horns on the head of the snake locust before dodge in the fourth magic armor, and then pierced by the three-meter-long snake tooth, there was a space three meters above the swamp between the snake locust and the little princess. Distorted and quickly formed a black hole with a diameter of about two meters! It seems that Little Princess Emma's Grand Summoning technique succeeded!

Most of the time, the size of the summoned creature can be judged from the size of the black hole. Here, the general understanding is that the bigger the creature, the stronger the strength, such as the dragon, such as the snake locust in front of you.

Looking at the black hole that appeared when the little princess Emma called, everyone estimated that the largest size would not exceed two meters. Creatures of this size are simply not ranked here, let alone the snake locust in front of you, it is simply comparing the water arrow rabbit with the dragon.

The little princess stared at this black hole intently, eager to see what kind of alien creatures her virgin summons could bring to her.

The little princess and the guards around him were waiting eagerly for the result, but the black hole did not respond for a long time, making everyone feel baffled. In this weird situation, even the distant snake locust and the magic armor stopped fighting.

From the muddy water splashing and the manic battlefield of magic energy to the silence without even the wind, the scene was strangely terrifying for a while.

In theory, if the summoning technique fails, it is impossible for the black hole connecting different time and space to appear. Since it appears, it shows that the summoning technique is successful. According to the "General History of Demon Summoning", once the teleportation channel appears and takes shape, the creatures called should appear in front of the summoner through this channel, and the waiting time is generally between one breath and five breaths. The longest wait in history was nine breaths, when a powerful Lich King summoned a nine-headed black dragon in a different time and space.

So the final conclusion on "General History of Demon Summoning"! Once the summoning is successful, the longer the waiting time, the stronger the summoned creature that appears.

Now the waiting time has exceeded ten breaths.

"Could it be that the creature that was summoned would be more powerful than the nine-headed black dragon?" The disappointment of everyone at the beginning was rekindled, and even one of the guards had begun to count in a low voice with his uncontrollable excitement. .

Snake locust is not just a rookie. In the battle with these humans, he has competed with the creature summoned by this magic several times. Although he won each time, he was not a creature he was familiar with after all. Thrilling and extremely difficult to win.

Carefully coiled his body in a circle, looking at this black hole that was not as thick as his own, Snake Locust did not dare to take it lightly. The best way now is to shrink the line of defense and wait for it.

As for the few magic armors next to him, Snake Locust is not very worried. Just now, I just played with them and forced these seemingly powerful armors to be exhausted.

When the excited guard counted to fifteen breaths, almost everyone involuntarily began to count. As the caster herself, the little princess Emma flushed with excitement, her hands were clenched into fists on her rapidly throbbing chest, and she counted with her slightly trembling voice.

The longest wait after the successful call in history, as a witness, is enough to make them proud for a lifetime.

"Twenty-two!" The black hole is still that black hole, without a trace of change.

"Twenty-three!" The enthusiasm of everyone has been wiped out in this long wait.

"Twenty-four!" The black hole finally changed a little. Snake locust, who had tightened his muscles for defense, was already very impatient, thinking that this thing was also a little bit irritating, and it must be made to look good when it comes out.

"Twenty-five!" The black hole shrank violently, ejecting a creature from it like a poop.

Before everyone could see it clearly, the creature snapped into the swamp and disappeared. Then the transmitted black hole quickly disappeared, and everything returned to peace.

The swamp in front of me has been stirred into an extremely viscous mud due to the previous battle between the magic armor and the snake locust, like a bowl of slimy black sesame paste. However, the taste of this black sesame paste is not very good, and there is a stink of fishy smell in the air with a trace of rotten smell.

The alien creature sank in the black sesame paste remained silent for a long time. I saw fist-sized bubbles in the mud smashing into the sun with the scent of rotting animals and plants.

The snake locust didn't feel the creature's strong aura, nor did it have strong magical waves. He leaned forward suspiciously, and everyone stretched their necks eagerly looking forward like the snake locust.

Another long wait!

After the five breaths, a humanoid creature covered in mud staggered up from the quagmire, and the droplets of mud on his head tickled and fell straight down.

This humanoid creature is only about 1.7 meters long. Its slender body is like a frail elf. After getting up, it keeps rubbing its eyes with muddy hands.

Could it be that this creature that has been waiting for such a long time is inferior to ordinary humans

Everyone was disappointed for a while!

Snake locust is not so polite for his opponent who has waited for such a long time. With a fascinating roar, he rushed to this alien creature.

The muddy alien creatures also clearly felt the threat. Although they jumped dangerously past the white fangs of the snake locust, they still did not escape the sad end. The snake's tail immediately swept across the air. He photographed it as a meteor that pierced the sky.

All this happened so fast, so fast that the rescuer's armor was still in the air and it was over.

The royal magician behind Princess Emma sighed.

Unexpectedly today, a successful call that completely broke the historical convention of the call. First, the record-breaking 25 breaths of long wait, and then the super incompetent creature that broke everyone's glasses and dislocated everyone's collective jaw. The whole was a waste.

"Quickly, protect the little princess from leaving!" The captain of the guard who recovered first yelled, and forcibly pulled the souls of the lost people back.

The little princess Emma, who was surrounded by her departure, was full of sorrow. Falling from the huge joy to the huge disappointment, this made no one accept it, and it made the little princess, a weak girl, trance.

This was the first creature that Emma had summoned, and the little princess had deep hopes for him. Even when he was summoned, he also displayed wisdom and dedication, so that the summoned creatures could communicate with themselves.

Two consecutive large magics made her feel weak, and leaned softly against a servant next to her. Before she passed out, she choked with tears in her eyes and said to the captain of the guard nearby: "You must find him back! "
