Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 29: I and the Professor Kill Each Other
Spatial ability!
Moreover, this ability can actually enable him to travel with other people!
No wonder the mission to lead a group of burdensome people deep into the "Silent Valley" was led by Professor An. With her around, regardless of whether they could find the target object, at least they could evacuate in time when encountering a major crisis.
However, this kind of BUG-like spatial ability definitely has its limitations, and there are too many burdens.
Worshiper Luo Xiu glanced at the other guards.
In his eyes, all the people below the myth are naturally a burden, but he has to admit that these guards have their meaning of existence. At least, they can deal with the ordinary evil spirits around them and save him the effort of taking action.
When they stepped into the Valley of Silence, they encountered dozens of evil spirits rushing towards them.
Luo Xiu and Princess Mia both wore high-grade fog-repelling weapons, and An Jianyou and Anna also wore the Mingliu Ring on their fingers.
However, it was still impossible to completely dispel the surrounding gray fog.
The rare smell of human beings stimulated the evil spirits that had been wandering here for hundreds and thousands of years, making them roar impatiently.
An Jianyou opened her eyes of the underworld, and there seemed to be a piece of underworld in her eyes. She stared into the distance, her sight rising high, passing over countless strange monsters and hills.
She can "see" very far, but her ability to travel and jump does have many limitations.
After all, she is a user with Netherworld and Summoning abilities, and only has a slight understanding of space.
"We'll have to walk the rest of the way. Mia, can you roughly determine the direction?"
"Well, if the mission target exists, it is most likely located on the truncated mountain in the distance... However, I have never been to the foot of the mountain before, I just saw it from afar."
It is difficult to estimate the exact height of the towering mountain, but the magic lies in the fact that the mountain is very eye-catching. Even ordinary awakeners can see it from afar, like a broken sword piercing through the gray fog, stubbornly emitting its final sharpness.
At first glance, it is quite extraordinary.
An Jianyou asked, "Has your Yuntu country ever explored this strange mountain?"
There is a high probability that there are treasures on it.
Worshiper Luo Xiu shook his head. "As far as I know, there really isn't one. Two mythical beings tried it back then, but they found the journey too dangerous and returned home early. The information has been sealed up till now."
An Jianyou was surprised and found it hard to understand why someone would not take the treasure even though he knew it was right in front of him.
Could it be that Yuntu Kingdom is so powerful because it has no shortage of resources?
They are still very short of salary!
An Jianyou felt that this time, he couldn't just focus on the mission goal, he also had to sweep up more treasures along the way. And this Silence Valley seemed to have few people exploring in depth, didn't it mean that this place was relatively pristine?
She thought about it, turned on the "treasure radar" in her mind, and slowly led everyone forward.
Along the way, there were indeed few signs of human activity , and the occasional human corpses that were found had been weathered for a long time.
"We rarely go deep into these dangerous places unless it is necessary. At most, we just pass by the periphery."
Luo Xiu worshipped.
There was no clear dividing line between the outer and inner circles, but as they went deeper, the roars coming from the surrounding gray fog became clearer and more deafening.
Evil spirits kept rushing out from the thick grey fog, causing trouble for them, and they fought with Princess Mia's guard knights and maids.
The forward speed gradually slowed down.
Luo Xiu raised his eyes slightly, alertly looking around, and stole a glance at the two legends of Xinhuo Academy.
He was thinking.
This was originally a mission of Xinhuo Academy, and his duty was only to protect the princess, so he didn't have to take any action at all.
But after all, the two people who came from Xinhuo Academy were two young and beautiful female myths. Female myths like these are rare species in the circle. After thinking about it, Luo Xiu Gongsheng felt that he had to show the gentlemanly demeanor of Yuntu.
You can't just be a loser in front of two female legends, right?
He can't afford to lose face.
He took action.
Holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, the strikes of the shield shook the earth, and the sharp epic spear easily pierced through the evil spirits one by one.
This is nothing to be proud of.
Under the power of mythology, all creatures that are lower in status than itself are massacred.
However, Luo Xiu gradually frowned.
"There are too many evil spirits here. No wonder this place is known as a dangerous place."
"No, that's not right. This number is indeed too much, more than what is recorded in the data!"
Is there something wrong with the data records?
Worshiper Luo Xiu thought so. After all, their Yuntu Kingdom had not gone deep into the "Silence Valley" many times, but he still wanted to curse.
Fortunately, Anna, a teacher at Xinhuo Academy, stepped in and relieved him of some of the pressure.
Otherwise, as the number of six-star evil spirits increases, he will gradually become more difficult to deal with, and the evil spirits in dangerous areas seem to be more difficult to deal with than those outside!
Holding a round shield in his hand, Luo Xiu rushed into the group of evil spirits, knocking the huge bodies of the six-star evil spirits flying.
In the distance, the orange-red flames were as brilliant as the sunset meteors, transforming into brilliant red threads that swept across the sky and the earth like a sickle.
Suddenly, huge bodies fell down one after another. Red lines appeared on their bodies, emitting wisps of green smoke, and their heads and bodies were slowly cut apart.
Luo Xiu is under a lot of pressure!
Is this young mentor Anna so powerful?
He continued to rush into the group of evil spirits, killing them indiscriminately.
Arriving at this place, it no longer mattered whether or not Mia showed the way. The map drawn by Yuntu Nation for the Silent Valley was very rough, and the deep part was completely blank.
The person responsible for adjusting the direction now is Professor An.
They seemed to have changed direction slightly and came to a rock wall.
Then, Mentor Anna controlled the extreme flame to cut through the hard black rock and took out several translucent gems shining with brilliance.
"Power Orb?"
"This is an epic material! And with a little processing, it can be made into a strange weapon ornament."
Great value!
Even Luo Xiu, a legend, was somewhat envious. This was free money.
Unfortunately, for this type of mission with a clear goal, the ownership of materials along the way is "whoever finds it gets it."
And there is too much randomness.
Things like exploring and collecting treasures mostly only exist in vernacular novels. If the wild were full of treasures, the major forces would not have been so tightly controlling the rare resources.
As he thought about it, he continued to kill the evil spirits.
Turning around, I saw Mentor Anna, who had just killed Guixie, squatting down and digging out precious materials.
Luo Xiu: “?”
The team continued to move forward.
When Anna found the legendary material "Doll's Heart" from a piece of building wreckage, Luo Xiu was stunned.
He was wondering if there was a possibility that there were indeed treasures buried everywhere in the Silent Valley, but that their Yuntu Kingdom had overlooked them in the past.
What on earth are those guys from the Exploration Department doing!
He must talk to the king.
On the following journey, Luo Xiu could not help but use his divine sense to scan the surrounding land. However, the treasure had long been integrated into the surrounding environment, and was affected by the gray fog. Luo Xiu did not find anything after exploring for a while, and was almost hit by a seven-star evil spirit because of his distraction.
His heart was pounding and he thought to himself that he was careless.
but,
"We only penetrated one-third of the distance at most before we encountered seven-star evil spirits. This..."
This was faster than he expected!
In a one-on-one duel, Luo Xiu was confident that he could defeat and kill a seven-star evil spirit. He had been promoted to a mythical being for one or two hundred years, and was not a weakling.
However, this is the Silent Valley, and the Seven Stars Evil Spirits will not insist on fairness and impartiality.
Their situation is quite unfavorable.
Just now, he and Mentor Anna had cooperated perfectly to kill the Seven-Star Evil in a short time. If he encountered two or three at the same time...
However, their cooperation just now was indeed perfect, and they were able to kill the Seven-Star Evil instantly.
He, Luo Xiu, can also kill the Seven-Star Evil instantly!
He was excited, but still said,
"You two, if you continue, you may encounter danger that you cannot resist. This place is more dangerous than you expected."
"really."
An Jianyou nodded with a serious and solemn look .
She looked around and saw several terrifying figures just by herself.
If any of them discovered it, she would not have the confidence to fight off such a terrifying evil while protecting everyone else!
Thinking of this, she felt a little scared.
But it is impossible to return, as this is the instructor's task.
"I will ensure everyone's safety."
An Jianyou said solemnly.
Thinking of Professor An's spatial ability, Luo Xiu agreed to move on without saying anything more.
But in An Jianyou's eyes, this Luo Xiu priest finally stopped being "stubborn".
Yes, Luo Xiu Gongfeng is very strong-willed and has been competing with Anna all the way. This may be the pride and stubbornness of the Yuntu people.
Out of consideration for the self-esteem of Luo Xiu's myth, An Jianyou did not take much action along the way. At most he secretly killed some powerful evil spirits.
And now...
"Next, we may have to hurry up."
"Come out, my friend."
In the darkness, terrifying figures emerged one after another.
A bodyless red dress, a grinning puppet, a dancer wearing a mask...
These figures are not huge, and they look petite compared to the three-star evil spirits.
Ke Luoxiu Shenhua's eyes widened, and there was trembling in his pupils.
"This is seven...seven..."
"Don't worry, Xiaohong and the others are very reliable."
A brief introduction of An Jianyou.
The Yunhui Domain is a very prosperous and powerful domain, so controlling strange evil spirits is certainly not a strange thing for them.
Sure enough, Luo Xiu Shenhua and his guards soon stopped talking.
He must have understood how reliable Xiaohong is.
She summoned another mount.
——Thousand-eyed flying fish!
This is the evolved form of the Hundred-Eyed Flying Fish, a seven-star nest-shaped evil creature.
However, she made some fine-tuning during the breeding process, castrating the Thousand-Eyed Flying Fish's ability to hatch little evil spirits, and instead was able to significantly reduce the size of the Thousand-Eyed Flying Fish.
This ensures that the mount Thousand-Eyed Flying Fish will not be too conspicuous.
A huge shadow passed by low in the sky, and a pair of terrifying eyes opened in its belly, scanning the earth.
In a place that Luo Xiu Shenhua couldn't see, the little evil spirits of the An Jianyou family were diligently picking up materials everywhere.
In the eyes of Luo Xiu Shenhua...
“Faster, too fast!”
"We are in a dangerous area!"
Unable to save face, he did not shout out these words, but his pupils were shaking and his mind was like a taut string spreading all around him.
After thinking for a moment, he faced the whistling wind and said, "Aren't we looking for the 'Sword' treasure? At this speed, it will be difficult to search carefully."
"No, I found it."
In my mind, an icon shines brightly.
The icon was extremely far away from their location, beyond the radar's detection range, but it appeared so abruptly and was extremely eye-catching.
The Thousand-Eyed Flying Fish immediately accelerated, even shaking off one or two seven-star evil spirits.
On the broad back of Feiyu, the guards suppressed their trembling growls.
Princess Mia was half lying prone, feeling both fear and excitement.
This is... Professor An's power?
"Professor An has a course in the academy that teaches how to control evil spirits, but this course requires a lot of talent, so most people are not suitable for learning it."
Anna said.
Princess Mia's eyes widened and she struggled to sit up.
There is a thick blanket on the back of the Thousand-Eyed Flying Fish, so the riding experience is actually quite comfortable, and there is no strong wind blowing into your face and mouth.
But, they were riding on a seven-star evil spirit.
This is too exciting!
Mia gasped for air.
The maid's eyes were dazed.
Anna found the long-lost comfort and ease as a member of Youyou’s team. She only had to do the giggling.
The towering mountains quickly expanded in the field of vision.
When the layers of fog were cleared away, the mountains before everyone became increasingly majestic and steep.
The mountain wall is almost vertical to the ground.
The mountain rises into the sky, piercing through the gray fog and dark clouds like a sharp sword inserted into the earth.
However, the upper half of the mountain was cut off.
Broken smoothly and evenly.
From the cross-section, there was an indescribable sharpness coming towards me.
This is most likely the fragment of the rules of "Sword"!
The detection radar also points to this place.
But where exactly?
An Jianyou extended her spiritual sense, but found nothing. When she tried to penetrate the black mountain, her soul trembled and a stabbing pain like a needle vibrated in her mind.
If it weren't for the visual map of mountains and rivers outside her soul protecting her, she would have been seriously injured.
"Professor An, the evil ones are catching up with us!"
Three huge monsters have appeared in the distance, and their ferocious mouths slowly emerge from the thick clouds and fog.
But there are even more powerful and evil creatures lurking around.
After a quick count, there were actually nine of them!
Luo Xiu Shenhua's face turned pale.
"It's time for a tactical retreat!"
"We haven't found the target yet, but it's definitely nearby."
"Hurry up then!"
"Look again, and use your divine thoughts to help!"
The last sentence was shouted by Anna.
But it was strange that the area around the black mountain was empty and not even a trace of the key treasure could be found.
Of course, with the interference of the evil spirits and the approach of the seven-star evil spirits, it is difficult for the divine sense to investigate carefully.
An Jianyou glanced around from afar, then set his gaze on the Seven-Star Ghost who was about to pounce on him.
"Your existence is too dangerous!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
Thick black fog rose from the people in red, the laughing puppets, and the masked dancers.
The black fog is so thick, scary and ominous.
But it also made the figures in red look even more eerie and terrifying.
Cool!
The eerie shadow shrouded in thick black fog disappeared in an instant.
The next moment,
A thick blood mist burst out from the body of the Seven-Star Evil in the east, and there was a sharp and piercing roar that almost pierced the eardrums, but it stopped abruptly.
The body of the seven-star strange evil in the south was torn apart as if it had been skinned. A petite figure emerged from it, grinning with a smile that was chilling to the bone.
To the north and west, countless red silks spread and intertwined, forming a giant net that covered the sky and the sun in the blink of an eye.
Luo Xiu, Mia and others seemed to hear a tight sound like grinding teeth, and a strange sound like something was crushed.
There is blood oozing out.
The red silk became even redder.
Mia and the others stared at them blankly, not daring to say anything or ask anything.
When the red silk faded, a tragic scene reappeared before them. No, it was not tragic, but a scene of killing evil spirits indiscriminately, which made people extremely excited and happy.
Yes, that's it.
The evil spirits around were much less numerous.
Luo Xiu Shenhua swallowed his saliva, and without being urged, he immediately spread out his divine consciousness, scanning the surroundings inch by inch, more seriously than he would the king's orders.
But still can't find it.
What's going on? It's not that he didn't look for it seriously!
"No, I found it."
An Jianyou fell from the Thousand-Eyed Flying Fish and stepped on the smooth and flat top of the black mountain.
She let the man in red guard her body, then she bent her knees, half-knelt, and placed her hands on the cold rocks.
There was a pain in the palm of my hand, like a knife cutting.
There is blood oozing out.
An Jianyou bit his lip and poured in life energy.
“Buzz——”
The steep mountain began to tremble, slowly rising from the ground, and finally turned into a piece of broken sword and flew into An Jianyou's hands.
"This is the sword rule fragment treasure?"
She cast her gaze deeper into the Valley of Annihilation, feeling that there were still many treasures waiting to be discovered.
What a treasure land.
But now...
She looked at Mia and the others who were obviously in a depressed mental state, and did not stay any longer. The realm of the underworld immediately spread out, enveloping everyone and the evil baby.
The next moment,
They returned to their starting point - the disembarkation area two days away.
"We are back. We are safe here. We can wait for the flight back to the academy."
Except for Anna, who was knowledgeable and experienced in many battles, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm almost exhausted.
Especially Princess Mia, who is the weakest.
She secretly glanced at Professor An, recalling the horrific scenes just now, and imagining Professor An's possible teaching process... The little head in her mind shook like a rattle.
Horrible, so terrible!
…
When the mission was completed, the team disbanded immediately.
Princess Mia and her maid returned to the academy on the airship, while Lord Luo Xiu flew all the way back to Yuntu Kingdom.
As soon as he returned to the country, he was summoned by the king.
The ruler of Yuntu Kingdom, Yunjiatu XVII, was a legendary man in his prime and a great leader.
However, the ancestral precept of the Yuntu Kingdom is that the longest time the ruler can reign cannot exceed three hundred years.
King Yunus XVII has reached the time to step down from office.
His children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, or descendants of other elders, as long as they are granted the title of prince or princess, can compete for the position of ruler.
“But it’s a troubled time.”
"Xinhuo Academy has emerged, and the world environment is undergoing certain changes... I don't know what the future will be like."
After waiting for a while, Luo Xiu, the worshipper, strode in and saluted the king with the cloud etiquette.
"Your Majesty, we went deep into the Silent Valley this time, and it can be said that we had no danger."
"Oh, how exactly?"
The king asked.
Luo Xiu Gongfeng found this process a little difficult to describe. He described it as follows:
"Maybe..."
"I'm with Professor An from Xinhuo College, killing people indiscriminately."
Lord Yuntu: “?”
