Chapter 181: The Red Light Appears, a Conversation Across a Century
The place of the end and the origin, on the platform.
After a long while, Ryan, who had recovered, finally freed himself from the claws of the Dark Light Dragon.
The piercing of the chest and the burning of the internal organs were constantly recovering under the warm current brought by the upgrade.
Ryan stood with a great sword, looking at the huge monster in front of him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The strength of the Dark Light Dragon is undoubtedly strong. If there is no real damage from the "Blue Power", Ryan estimates that it will be extremely difficult to break its defense with the [Crown Dragon Slayer Great Sword].
And such a Dark Light Dragon is still just a juvenile. It is hard to imagine how terrible it will be when it becomes the "King of Ancient Dragons" after it grows up.
But for some reason, Ryan has a feeling that the strength of the Dark Light Dragon is not as strong as he imagined.
This may be a bit contradictory.
But it is Ryan's true feeling.
Indeed, the strength of the Dark Light Dragon is much stronger than that of the Corpse Dragon, with the peak level of the Crown Three Stars.
But as the "anchor" of the mysterious island, is the top three stars really qualified?
"Huh..."
Ryan exhaled lightly, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and cast his eyes in the direction of the Dark Light Dragon.
Next to the huge corpse of the Dark Light Dragon, a crescent-shaped scale as big as a basin, shining with dark gold, was suspended in the air.
Ryan walked forward and reached out to touch it.
——
[Loot: Dark Light Dragon's Ghost Jade]: Gold-level trophy, a dream gem generated in the body of the Dark Light Dragon material, contains inestimable power. Because of its identity as an ancient dragon, the color has a deep and restrained color. Attached special skills: [Abnormal state resistance lv.3 (max)], ancient dragon specialization [Mystery of Dark Light lv.1 (max)]
——[Abnormal state resistance lv.3 (max)]: All attribute abnormal states caused by enemy attacks are invalidated.
——【Mystery of Dark Light lv.1 (max)】: When attacking with long-range energy, the consumption is reduced by 50%, and there is a very small probability of no consumption.
(ps: The gathering of death, the fetal movement of life, in the darkness, the dark light is eternal.)
——
Looking at the introduction of the loot dropped by the Dark Light Dragon, Ryan's eyes showed a strong joy.
Similar to the loot dropped by the corpse dragon, the loot dropped by the Dark Light Dragon has an additional ancient dragon special skill in addition to the third-level special skills that the gold-level loot itself has.
【Abnormal State Resistance lv.3 (max)】, unlike 【Attribute Resistance】, the latter has a direct reduction effect on the damage of all attributes, but the former is not the case.
It does not have a direct damage reduction effect, but it can allow Ryan to avoid abnormal states caused by attribute attacks, such as: burning, freezing, paralysis, etc.
It seems that it does not directly improve combat effectiveness, but it greatly improves survivability. If Ryan has this skill when fighting the Dark Light Dragon, he will not be continuously burned when in the "Blue Fire Domain".
Most domains have more or less range continuous damage. With [Abnormal State Resistance lv.3 (max)], the damage he suffers in the domain will be greatly reduced, which will play a decisive role for the main body against legendary professionals.
And another skill [Mystery of Dark Light lv.1 (max)] is the strongest point of this trophy.
——When attacking with long-range energy, the consumption is reduced by 50%, and there is a very small probability of no consumption.
What is this concept?
The definition of long-range energy attack is quite broad. Ryan's Blood Spear, Sword Qi attack, etc. can all be regarded as long-range energy attacks. With this special skill, the full-blooded "Blood Spear" that could only be used twice is now doubled to four.
If you encounter a very small probability of triggering "no consumption", you can use it more times!
Later, if Ryan gains any long-range energy attack ability, he will also get a benefit.
"A very powerful ability, very suitable for long-range turret-type professions. It can't be said to be useless for swordsmen, but the blessing is not very big."
Ryan made a definition.
After putting away the [Loot: Darklight Dragon's Ghost Jade], Ryan looked at his personal panel.
With the success of the Darklight Dragon's crusade, the huge experience points pushed the level of his travel clone to a new level in one fell swoop.
——
[Level]: 18 (26%) → 19 (2%)
[Spiritual Value]: 2722635 → 5722635
[Spirituality]: 31.3
[Physique]: 367.8 → 473.8
[Loot (22 pieces in total)]: ... Dark Light Dragon's Ghost Jade (Abnormal State Resistance lv.3 (max), Ancient Dragon Specialization - Dark Light Mystery lv.1 (max))
——
Nearly 500 [Physique] brings a powerful force that cannot be described in words!
The blood and energy rushed in his body, and such a huge improvement even made Ryan feel a temporary feeling of weakness.
Fortunately, after practicing with Noel and mastering the "Sky Blue Sword Art (Mastery)", his swordsmanship attainments have improved again, and his control over the body has become stronger. Soon, he adapted to the surge in physique.
The later the level, the greater the improvement of each level. After the level of the avatar is upgraded this time, the strength of the main body will also surge. Ryan estimated that even without the help of Noel, the main body now has a high possibility of defeating the Tianqing leader (weak state) purely by physical strength.
"Huh..."
After taking a deep breath, Ryan looked around and frowned again.
The Dark Light Dragon is dead, but what about the "anchor point"?
Could it be that the "anchor point" is similar to the "Original Sin Fragment", a special thing located in the body like the male fire dragon leader?
As for what the "anchor point" is, Ryan has never seen the real thing, so he doesn't know.
With a careful observation of the surrounding environment, Ryan's brows frowned even deeper.
After the Dark Light Dragon died, the "anchor point space" that enveloped this place did not dissipate, which gave him a bad premonition.
Without recycling the material from the corpse of the Dark Light Dragon for the time being, Ryan came to the edge of the platform and found the Big Silver, who was temporarily exhausted due to energy depletion, and fed it a piece of [First-order Recovery Crystal] and [First-order Soul Resurrection Crystal].
This first-order crystal has a poor recovery effect on the Big Silver, who is now a crown, but it is better than nothing.
Just as Ryan was about to take out some crown flesh and blood from the space ring to feed the Big Silver, suddenly, the Big Silver looked at Ryan's back with an extremely anxious look, twisting his body uncomfortably, and reminded Ryan.
At this time, Ryan also felt the strange atmosphere suddenly emerging in the environment, and he turned his head sharply to look behind him.
I saw that the huge body of the Dark Light Dragon, which was more than 100 meters long, was affected by some kind of force and began to slowly sink into the platform. The extremely solid basalt became soft like mud, and a faint red light began to appear on the surface.
The light became brighter and stronger, like a rising red sun.
Facing this dazzling red light, the surface of Dayin's body began to corrode with a "sizzling" sound. It was unbearable and he had to retreat until he exited the "anchor space", which was relieved.
On the contrary, Ryan was not affected much by this, as if this round of "Red Day" only had a strong effect on the life or Red Day evolution that was corroded by the red light.
The next second after Dayin exited the "anchor space", the originally transparent anchor space wall began to glow deep red and quickly became hard, forming a solid and closed hemispherical space.
Ryan's face changed. He just hesitated for a moment and completely lost the opportunity to leave the "anchor space".
He tried to attack the red space wall with a big sword, but the force of the rebound made his palm numb, and there was not even a ripple on the space wall.
This thing is not something he can break with brute force now.
The light of the "Red Sun" gradually dimmed, and a figure gradually appeared in Ryan's eyes filled with astonishment.
It was a human.
A human who was about 1.8 meters tall, agile, with smooth and elegant muscle lines, and a big sword on his back.
He was wearing a broken leather armor made of animal skin, and his exposed skin was covered with red fluorescent lines. These lines intertwined and formed a circular mark similar to the "sun" at his forehead.
He was half-kneeling on the ground, as if he was enduring something, and seemed to be fighting against something.
"Who is he?!"
Ryan's pupils dilated, and a vague guess emerged in his mind. Just as he was about to try to speak, there was a loud "boom". Behind the half-kneeling figure, the platform ground exploded, and a huge dark green shadow rushed out from it.
The body, which was shaped like a strip of loofah and full of bursting muscles, was also covered with red lines. The crazy brutality and devouring breath swept the whole place in an instant.
Ryan's heart was pounding - he had seen this monster before. It was the "Dark Green Loofah" that attacked him and caused the death of his travel clone after he defeated the [Crown] Explosive Dragon!
After that, Ryan tried hard to find it and tried to take revenge, but he couldn't find any trace of the "Dark Green Loofah" after searching the entire mysterious island. Unexpectedly, it appeared here!
What surprised Ryan was that the "Dark Green Loofah" that rushed out from the ground, even though its eyes were filled with brutality, its body was frozen in place, motionless, as if it was strongly suppressed by some force.
Looking closely, Ryan was shocked to find that at the intersection of the large number of red lines on the forehead of the "Dark Green Loofah", there was a circular mark similar to the half-kneeling figure, but a little bigger, emitting a strong light.
Under Ryan's gaze, the half-kneeling figure slowly stood up.
His movements were very slow, as if due to the long sleep, the body had not yet recovered to its peak, but as the body stood up, a terrifying sense of oppression instantly descended on this anchor point space, and even the violent aura of "Dark Green Loofah" was suppressed by this sense of oppression and became fragmented.
That was an absolute power beyond [Crown].
That was a great power far beyond the mundane.
Ryan's heart gradually sank to the bottom.
He still had the strength to fight at [Crown], but above [Crown], even if he became stronger after upgrading, there was no possibility of victory at all...
The figure slowly opened his eyes, and his pupils were full of chaos.
Just when Ryan felt heavy in his heart and was ready to fight to the death, he found that the figure had no intention of launching an attack.
He just stood there quietly, the chaos in his eyes struggling to gain clarity.
"... Finally... a hunter... was able to arrive... here..."
A hoarse and extremely dry voice came from the figure's mouth. His clear and reddish eyes looked at Ryan, who was holding a sword, and his eyes focused on the medal that began to emit a blue light on Ryan's chest.
"...The blue light...it's really a familiar light..."
"...I think you must have obtained the notes and medals I left behind to find the younger hunter here..."
The figure's speech gradually became smoother: "I am the deputy leader of the 7th Scouting and Hunting Group, Loic Frum. This is the first time we meet. May the blue light shine."
The figure raised his right hand and pressed it hard in front of him. This seemed to be a unique etiquette among hunters.
Seeing this, Ryan was slightly silent, and then made the same action: "...May the blue light shine."
Although he is not a traditional hunter, it is not inappropriate to say that he is a "hunter".
Looking at the red-lined figure in front of him, Ryan's heart was filled with complicated and unspeakable emotions.
Although he had some guesses in his mind, he was still shocked after confirming the identity of the other party, so much so that he became a little confused.
Throughout his travels so far, it was thanks to the legacy of the deputy commander of the 7th Scouting and Hunting Regiment that he was able to reach where he is now smoothly step by step.
Ryan originally thought that the other party was dead long ago, but he did not expect that he could resist the erosion of red obsidian and survive to this day, and he can still stay awake until now.
What kind of will is this, and what kind of terrifying suffering...
"...Young generation hunter..."
Familiar movements, familiar etiquette, and familiar blue light made the eyes of Loick, the deputy leader of the 7th Scouting and Hunting Regiment, appear dazed for a moment, but soon he came back to his senses, with joy in his tone. road:
"I am very happy that at the last moment when my consciousness is about to die, I can see that among the younger generations of hunters, there is such an outstanding successor as you."
"At your age, I am far away from you. The blue light will shine brighter on you. Even the feat of ancient hunters hunting super ancient monsters comparable to gods is no longer a fantasy. ”
"It's a pity that I can't see this scene with my own eyes..."
Deputy Captain Loik's voice was filled with deep fatigue and decline: "Junior hunter, can you tell me your name?"
"Ryan Leyland."
"Lian...Lian..." Deputy Captain Loick repeated several times: "I have written down this name."
"Ryan, I don't have much time. You must keep the message I'm about to tell you in your mind and send it back to the hunting group headquarters."
"I have yet to find out what the true form of 'Hong Yao' is. Based on the currently known information, I speculate that the true form of 'Hong Yao' is likely to be a monster whose strength exceeds the 'taboo'."
"After being eroded deep into the depths by the red light, I can vaguely sense that the call coming from the depths of the permanently frozen land further south, covered by solid ice and snowstorms, there is a high probability that it is the call of the 'Red Light' itself. location."
"The erosion of the human body by 'red obsidian' is multiple. Every time it resists the invasion of red obsidian, the human body's functions will become stronger, but the next time the erosion of red obsidian comes, it will also become more violent and never-ending. "
"After hundreds of years of support, I have reached the limit..."
"The next red obsidian invasion will come soon, and now I still haven't fully recovered from the last erosion. I know very well that I won't be able to survive the coming invasion even a little bit. possible.”
"Rather than being like this, a humanoid monster that cannot resist the erosion of red light will become crazy and violent. It is better for me to do something meaningful at the last moment of my life."
"I originally wanted to commit suicide here, but fate arranged that I would meet you at the end of my life, Ryan."
"I will leave the most essence of the 'red obsidian crystal core' for you. You can send it back to the hunting group headquarters for research, or you can keep it for your own use. It's up to you."
"I need to apologize to you for something. The gluttonous dinosaur I suppressed with the power of red light will return to freedom after my death."
"The gluttonous dinosaur was a kind of destroyer that had terrible destructive power on the ecology and greedily devoured all life."
"After devouring a large amount of life, the strength of this gluttonous dinosaur has not reached the taboo level, but it has exceeded the level of the crown. I cannot attack with all my strength, which will cause me to be unable to resist the invasion of red light first. I need to trouble you. Come and fix it.”
"Please, Ryan..."
