I am God Chapter 22: : Evil Eye Stone Sword and Parasitic Bow and Arrow
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update, I am God! latest chapter!
The first thing Helfas did when he returned was to prepare to deal with the dragon monster. He vaguely felt that the existence he was going to deal with this time seemed to be somewhat different from the monsters he had encountered before.
Not just more powerful, but also something else different.
He led a group of people through the tribe's checkpoint and under the sentry tower, and walked towards the residence with a solemn expression. The record officer on the side immediately walked up.
"Lord Helfas, how is the situation?"
Helfas did not say what exactly happened outside, only telling the record officer.
"Calling everyone who owns sealed items to come to my place for a meeting."
The record officer nodded and immediately made arrangements.
Helfas entered the second floor, took off the several sealed objects he was carrying one by one, and placed them on the table in front of him.
He wore an iron mask on his face, carried a black and gray pottery kettle on one side, a sword on the other, and a long bow on his back.
The first two are Helfas' old partners, and the latter two are the two with the strongest attack power among the sealed objects Helfas has obtained in recent years. They have been given the form of swords and bows. In a sense, it also represents Helfas's importance.
Ordinary people can only use one sealed object, and it must be in physical contact and carried on the body before it can be used. Helfas can use and summon sealed objects from a distance through the power of the mind, but four is his limit.
Not only is it difficult to control multi-tasking, but also once all four sealed objects are used, the weirdness inside the sealed objects will become more restless, and will always backfire on Helfas, making him feel Very dangerous.
Even if those weird things couldn't break free from his will, but only blinded his consciousness during the battle, various problems would easily arise.
Helfas took off his mask and water bottle, then took off the sword from his waist and placed it on the table.
The sword is not made of metal, but of stone. It feels very rough to the touch, the shape is not very smooth and regular, and the blade is not sharp at all.
There is a weird evil eye on the sword hilt, which is still blinking at this moment.
Herfas looked directly at it, and he sealed it with his own hands. Of course, he was not afraid of it at all. In the end, the eye slowly closed on its own, and he chose to give in.
[Sealed Artifact·Evil Eye Stone Sword]
[Ability 1: Able to gain weight and become dozens or hundreds of times larger in an instant, extremely strong. 】
[Ability 2: The evil eye's gaze will lock the target, causing it to be pressed to the ground by a huge force and unable to move. 】
This is sealed by a spherical stone-eyed monster that Helfas encountered.
When I first encountered it, it seemed very small, just an inconspicuous little weirdo.
But it can grow dozens or hundreds of times in an instant. It can make its body extremely heavy and slam it into the enemy, causing the entire land to sink.
And when its eyes are fixed on a person, a huge and strong force will be generated out of thin air to suppress the person, making it difficult for the person to move.
This guy was unbelievably strong, and it didn't match the small size he first saw, causing Helfas to suffer a lot.
Unfortunately, it has a fatal weakness.
It runs slowly and in a single way.
Some monsters that were much weaker than it slipped away from Helfas. In the end, it was very powerful, but it was trapped little by little by Helfas and completely sealed.
Helfas reached his hand to his back, shrugged his shoulders and took down the half-man-high longbow, held it in his hand and tried it.
The bow is gray-white, and feels a bit like a plant, but also like flesh and blood. If you want to describe it, it is like the flesh of a fungus.
This longbow is actually a set, with not only a bow, but also matching arrows.
Its arrows are the sarcoma on the bow. When the controller lengthens the bow string, the sarcoma will turn into an arrow.
[Sealed Object·Parasite Bow and Arrow]
[Ability 1: The long bow can parasitize the host. The stronger the host's vitality, the more powerful the long bow will release in an instant. 】
[Ability 2: The arrow will parasitize on the enemy's body, draining the enemy's life force and gradually forming a sarcoma, which will eventually cause a violent explosion. The sealed object controller can control the growth rate of the sarcoma and whether it explodes. 】
This sealed artifact was brought by Helfas and the entire team of demon hunters when they encountered a "sarcoma" growing on a rotting giant tree in the south of the Full Moon Forest.
It cannot move, but it will spread strange spores around. Once it is parasitized, it will only die.
When I first didn't understand its abilities, many people died in one encounter. It was indeed caught off guard.
Helfas looked at these sealed objects, and each one could be said to be hard-won. Someone had to sacrifice his life for each one, and he himself did not know how many times he had died in person.
He sat down, thinking about the arrangements for the next meeting and what to do.
After a while.
Someone came up from downstairs and told Helfas that everyone was here.
Helfas walked down the stairs, and everyone below raised their heads to look at him. There was not much space here, and everyone was sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor.
He came to the main seat and sat down directly.
In this kind of ordinary meeting, everyone does not have much etiquette, that is, bowing.
He sat down with his hands on the floor and talked.
“It is indeed a bit tricky when this kind of problem arises during the city founding ceremony, but when the problem arises we cannot escape it and must find a way to solve it.”
Helfas made it clear from the moment he opened his mouth that he would take the initiative to deal with the dragon, instead of escaping, and let everyone present be prepared.
First of all, he made arrangements to protect the safety of personnel on all sides.
About our own people: "First of all, let all the farmers, craftsmen, weavers and cloth makers outside withdraw into the canyon, because the dragon may also attack our area outside the canyon, where we can There is no power to protect."
About those who go out on missions: "Let the merchant officials and envoys to each tribe return quickly. Some of them have sealed objects in their hands. Next, we have to gather all our strength."
About other tribes: "Notify all the tribes near the Full Moon Forest to be careful of dragon attacks. The place where the dragon can fly and may invade will be far away. All matters assisting the Zhi tribe must also keep up."
Someone asked: "Where are the people from various tribes who came to participate in the city's founding ceremony? Some of them are already on their way."
Helfas: "Those who have already arrived should make arrangements with the tribe. We are still safe here. Those who have not arrived yet should inform them outside the forest not to enter the Full Moon Forest. The dragon's lair should be in the Full Moon." Somewhere deep in the forest, the road could be dangerous during this time."
"Tell them we will find a way to solve this problem and will let everyone know once safety is restored."
The guard captain and the witcher captain said: "What about the manpower on patrol? Should it be strengthened or weakened?"
Herfas: "We will further strengthen the patrol and expand the scope. We must find the location of the dragon and its traces."
The witcher captain asked Helfas: "How can we find the location of the dragon? Even if we know that its lair is in the Full Moon Forest, the Full Moon Forest is too big."
"And it can fly. Even if you find it, it will just spread its wings and fly away without a trace."
Helfas had been thinking about this question on his way back.
"It is different from other monsters. It is a very active and proactive monster."
"It was still in the mine before, but it soon appeared outside the Full Moon Forest. Instead of being passively attracted by the aura of a large number of people, I even felt that it was actively looking for people to gather. Land."
"It should have been entrenched in the Full Moon Forest before. Although I don't know why it has become so active recently, we can develop some targeted strategies based on its characteristics."
"First, it has been so active recently, and it will definitely leave a lot of traces. If we send more people to patrol, we will definitely find its traces, and it is possible to deduce the location of its lair."
"Second, the dragon will actively search for and attack people. We can pay attention to several tribes around the Full Moon Forest, determine its movements, and then set out to round it up. However, this plan is a bit passive, and it can also fly. It's hard to trap it."
"Third, I don't know if you have noticed, but that dragon eats black iron."
"This has been confirmed by me in the mines and from the witnesses of the Zhi tribe."
"So I guess that some of its characteristics may be related to metal. It needs or likes the black iron we refine. We can use this method to lure the dragon out."
"This method is more proactive, and we can set up traps and arrange the battlefield to deal with it in advance. This is the most advantageous for us, but we must also be prepared for the possibility that it will not come."
"So execute the three methods together, and report to me any situation at any time."
Herfas made arrangements one after another. At times like this, he became calmer.
Finally, he gave a deadline and told everyone that this matter could not be delayed and that there was no room for slack.
"We must try our best to find a way to solve this big trouble before the city founding ceremony."
A group of people filed out of the wooden house, and the entire Black Iron Tribe started to move.
After so many years, at least in this tribe he established with his own hands.
Herfas's will is supreme and no one dares to question it.
However, when he saw that everyone was moving according to his will, even though he knew that he was dealing with a dragon, he did not hesitate at all. However, Helfas, who was sitting cross-legged alone in the room, did not say anything. So easy.
Although he had formulated a strategy to round up the dragon, it seemed that as long as he grabbed the dragon's tail, he would be able to defeat it, and no one had any doubt.
But in fact, Helfas didn't have much confidence.
He thought about the power displayed by the dragon, which was already beyond the weird abilities and characteristics of the Biphasic Demonic Insect and the Black Swamp.
The most obvious point is that the other party can already begin to control the power of nature.
Thunder fire.
In terms of this characteristic, only the Evil Eye Stone Sword in Helfas's hand can vaguely show part of it, but it not only has many restrictions but also has a short time, which is completely incomparable with the ease and large range of the dragon.
Furthermore, the ability of the Evil Eye Stone Sword is like a thrown spear, completely uncontrollable, but the dragon's ability is completely different when released. It seems to be controllable from a distance?
He guessed.
"That dragon's power should be at the third level!"
------------------
Guards and demon hunters were dispatched in large numbers, searching for traces of dragons in various locations in the Full Moon Forest.
Even Helfas personally went out. He divided the activity ranges where some dragons might appear and exist, and then searched for them area by area.
He felt that the dragon should be in the area between the Oriole Tribe and the Black Iron Tribe. Although it was not on the road they often walked, it should be somewhere around.
In the jungle, an old guard in his forties was leading the team forward.
The old guard was injured and retired from the demon hunter team. He seemed to be very experienced, but his health was not as good as before.
"Everyone keep a distance and follow the formation during training."
“Everyone should be alert and issue a warning immediately if there is any situation. Don’t blow the wrong whistle, let alone shout casually.”
"Don't gather together when you find a situation. Our role is to find the target and send out the signal, not to deal with weirdness."
"Remember?"
There are also two young guards in this searching team.
They are not yet fully grown and look very immature, as can be seen from their nervous and excited expressions.
This is their first time to participate in a large-scale search for strange things. Before that, they had been training and performing some patrol or sentry tasks in the tribe.
Although they were just following the old captain to search for traces of Weirdness instead of actually dealing with Weirdness, and they might not even be able to see Weirdness in the end, they were still excited and excited.
One of the two young guards is fat and the other is thin.
The skinny young guard carefully observed his surroundings, but he was still thinking about training: "Do you think we can become qualified witchers through training?"
The guards are the reserve and retirement posts of witchers. Young guards can become witchers through training. Old witchers can come back as guards when they are old or injured.
The fat young guard whispered to him: "Don't you have the dagger given to you by Master Helfas? Can't you just enter directly?"
The thin young guard immediately tightened his grip on the dagger at his waist: "That's so embarrassing."
The fat young guard said: "It's okay. I have already agreed with the old captain that he will take time to train us. He is an old demon hunter."
The two kept their distance and kept walking forward.
This is the third area they searched. The two areas they searched a few days ago did indeed find many new unknown strange things, but they still found no trace of the dragon.
However, the two of them did not slack off. Many things they learned during tribal training have been burned into their hearts like seals.
Suddenly, the thin guard shouted.
"There are signs of destruction over there."
The two people ran over immediately and saw traces of animals passing through the jungle, and the thing must have been so big that it even knocked down trees.
However, this does not prove anything. Some large dragon beasts also make such movements when passing by.
The two then walked forward and saw more.
They saw huge footprints, and they were still very new, and the size of the footprints was obviously not left by a known large dragon beast, because it was larger than the footprints of the largest dragon beast they knew. .
The two of them immediately became nervous, knowing that they might have hit their target.
The fat young guard swallowed nervously: "Did we really meet him?"
The skinny young guard was just about to sound the alarm when he made a new discovery wherever he looked.
He looked at a piece of soil that had been turned up by the giant monster, and pointed at something in the center that was as hard as stone, but also like a lump of grease.
"Look, is this it?"
The fat young guard recognized it: "Longxiang!"
During the training of demon hunters, they had seen the introduction of this kind of thing.
This time, they were completely sure that they had met the real guy.
"A dragon appeared nearby."
As soon as they finished speaking, they immediately whistled as a physical reflex.
But at the moment they sounded the alarm, another jungle in the distance let out a cry.
"Ah!"
"Dragon, it's a dragon."
"It's here."
"Light up your cigarette and tell everyone that the dragon is here."
The fat young guard and the thin young guard ran towards the distance together, not in the direction of the noise, but away from that direction.
While moving away, the two of them were still sounding alarms at intervals.
While escaping, they kept hearing screams coming from the jungle in the distance, accompanied by the slight tremor of the earth.
They were frightened, but they still turned around and looked in the direction of the sound and movement.
At this time, the two people suddenly discovered that the signal smoke that Long was about to light was not lit.
"What's going on?"
"Where's the cigarette?"
"Didn't they light it?"
At this time, the thin guard suddenly stopped and ran back suddenly.
The fat guard shouted: "What are you doing? This is against training regulations."
Slender guard: "The cigarette is not lit."
The fat guard shouted: "We went there to die, so hurry up and leave."
Slender guard: "Follow me."
The fat guard was furious, but he hesitated and followed.
However, the thin guard did not run to the direction where the noise came from, but ran to their previous position.
The fat guard immediately understood something: "So you want to order this?"
The two took out flint and ignited a ball of fluff according to the training method, and then lit the dragon incense.
"It's on fire!"
After a ball of dragon incense was lit, the billowing smoke instantly turned into a column of smoke. The two of them ran towards the distance as soon as they lit it, covered by the billowing smoke.
Several miles away.
Although Helfas came here, he was not responsible for the search. Instead, he sat in a certain place and waited for the results, or provided support at any time.
Multiple search teams dispersed, and his position was right in the center.
At this moment, he was sitting on a high ground, with a small table in front of him, with maps and various scrolls on it.
He was analyzing the characteristics of that dragon. It is said that there are many dragons in the world, and he didn't know if they were all the same, but he was analyzing the one he met.
【Weird·Unknown Dragon】
[Characteristic 1: Able to swallow metal, perhaps able to obtain some kind of power from metal. Most of its body is made of metal, perhaps able to transform its body by swallowing metal? 】
[Characteristic 2: Able to spit out thunder and fire, and even create thunder nets over a large area. It has the characteristic of controlling natural forces in a certain area from a long distance. 】
[Feature 3..."
The information Helfas collected was from the mouths of witnesses and what he collected after on-site observations, but it still seems very incomplete.
The businessman also followed Helfas. He looked much better than before, at least he was no longer confused, but cheered up.
The businessman asked Helfas: "Why are there such weird things in this world?"
This seems to be a question that every dragon wants to ask.
Herfas held the pen and spoke while writing.
"It's because this world needs weirdness. They are part of this world and maintain the operation of this world!"
Helfas has seen many strange things over the years and has some different views on the world.
“Some weird things can make plants grow vigorously, and some weird things can make an area rich in water resources. Even changes in wind, rain and weather are all related to the existence of some weird things.”
Businessman: "Then why did someone show up again?"
Herfas: "Maybe it's because this world also needs people!"
Businessman: "Is it to be eaten by weirdos?"
Herfas: "I think it must have other meanings. Although people are weak, they have strange and unprecedented wisdom."
"This world may need weirdness, but without wisdom and the power of thinking, everything will be meaningless."
Suddenly, Helfas felt movement coming from the distance.
He immediately stood up, put down his pen, picked up the bow beside him, and led the people towards that direction quickly.
"Where did the noise come from?"
This is not uncommon these days, but sometimes it is some large dragon beast, and sometimes it is other weird things.
Herfas watched the movement while moving towards the target.
Suddenly.
Helfas saw the billowing smoke in the distance, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Found it."
At the same time, a violent roar came from the distance.
"Wow~"
A dragon spread its wings and flew up from the jungle. It also held a dragon man in its claws and crushed it into a pulp the moment it took off.
It showed its ferocity and cruelty to these reptiles without any hesitation.
The terrifying aura spread out in an instant, and a large number of dragons in the surrounding forest were directly captured by its aura, lying on the ground unable to move.
In the jungle, Helfas, who was running at high speed, also saw the other party.
He immediately stopped and took off the half-man-high bow from behind.
Pull it open hard.
The weird bow melted like foam and candles, covering Helfas's left arm. The bow looked as if it grew out of his hand.
An arrow automatically grew between the bow and the string, and with a resounding sound, it was thrown into the sky.
"Whoops!"
The sharp arrow turned into light and rushed into the sky. The dragon was only seen at this time.
It flapped its wings to avoid it, but it was too late.
The arrows hit its body like heavy artillery, and then spread out all of a sudden, covering part of its body like a puddle of mud, squeezing into the scales.
Soon after, a sarcoma grew out of its body.
"Boom!"
The sarcoma grew rapidly and then exploded with a loud noise.
You can see the dragon's body covered by metal scales, with part of it showing flesh and blood.
Although for the huge size of the dragon, this small piece is nothing, let alone fatal.
But it was enough to anger a dragon. As a top predator, it had never suffered such a heavy blow.
Long roared angrily and looked down at the "despicable guy" who sneaked up on him.
Its voice changed, becoming like thunder, no longer used to show its majesty, but anger.
"Roar!"
It immediately turned around and wanted to pounce down and eat the guy.
Herfas was not afraid at all, but smiled.
"Okay!"
"It's angry and coming down."
"Everyone get ready."
People from the Black Iron Tribe poured in from all directions, carrying various sealed objects, and skillfully formed a formation to wait for the dragon to rush down.
But under Helfas's gaze, the dragon just made a gesture to pounce down.
"Boom!"
A thunder exploded, and the white light was so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.
The moment the thunder sounded, the mask on Helfas's face immediately extended a large number of tentacles to wrap himself up, and his body quickly rolled to the other side.
But when Helfas completed the reanimation of the Biphasic Demonic Insect, he did not see the dragon rushing down.
Herfas raised his head.
I saw it flapping its wings and flying away.
Herfas withdrew his strength, stood up and looked at the sky, uttering the same words as the previous businessman.
"There's something wrong with this dragon."
However, although Helfas did not use all his strength with that arrow, and it was not fatal to the dragon at all, Helfas's goal was achieved.
It was only secondary that the arrow wounded the dragon. Leaving the breath of the parasitic bow and arrow on its body was his main purpose.
Next, Helfas only needs to hold the parasitic bow and arrive near it, or if it appears within a certain range of Helfas, then Helfas will be able to find it.
