novelThe Primitive Monster
| ← Ch.265 | Ch.267 → |
Lin Luoran can't imagine that An, who is just in the middle stage of Training Qi, has mastered an attacking figure circle!
Lin once saw Huizhu use a figure circle and she has seen An done it too. She used to think that a figure circle is just the incorporation of magic figures, and she never considered it as a weapon of mass destruction. Certainly, Riddick, who has lived all his life in the Britain, doesn't take the papers around him seriously.
Compared with human beings, the body of vampires is much stronger. Riddick never thinks that he will be hurt by a thin flash of lightening. An controls the figure circle and accurately avoids the cultivator being held hostage by Riddick. The lightning hits Riddick on his cheek, next to his sharp teeth.
The burn and the sharp pain make Riddick feel that his teeth are numb. Also, the lightning runs through his entire body and he is powerless. He can't hold the cultivator in his hand anymore. The cultivator falls on the ground with barely one breath left.
"What are you waiting for!" An adds a piece of Petrifaction Figure to the figure circle and shouts to the squad next to him.
Then the three members of the squad come back to themselves. They hurry to drag the unconscious man back and then start to hit Riddick with spells. They mainly use the fireball spell. Trapped in the figure circle, Riddick can't move so fast. An's Petrifaction Figure is gradually working. Riddick feels that his wings are getting heavier and heavier. For the moment, Riddick is in danger.
Though emotionless, Crystal loves her big brother. Seeing that he is in danger, Crystal flaps his wings and leaves Lin Luoran's range of attack in one second.
Crystal doesn't head to save Riddick first. Red light forms on her fingers. Lin Luoran's pupils contracts. Lin is familiar with what Crystal is talking about. It's the "Blood Punishment" she used in the bat cave in the secret land!
The power of blood gathers into a long sword and it comes at An with its red glow.
Of course, An will not stand at the same spot and waits to be killed. He has a lot of Fast-wind Figures on himself. However, as long as he moves, he will lose control over the figure circle and set Riddick free.
Is the winning vibe for Huaxia cultivators about to end because of Crystal's one single attack? Lin Luoran has to make sure that it doesn't happen.
When Crystal turns around, Lin Luoran draws the bow. An, who is nervous because of Crystal's imposing manner, calms down surprisingly.
An arrow of flame is on the bow. An is more than familiar with this scene. In the Hall of Nothingness, Lin Luoran's arrow pierced through Xin Yuanping's black lotus and it made Xin spit out blood. While managing to dodge Crystal's "Blood Punishment", An has a strange idea in his mind. As expected, being Master Lin's teammate is a lot more reassuring than being her enemy.
An loses control over the figure circle while he dodges Crystal's attack. Riddick is about to get out.
Now, the sun is rising to the top. It's minutes away from 12 o'clock. When the arrow leaves the bow, Lin Luoran feels that the arrow is no much less powerful than the one she shot in the Dragon Palace which was infused with the Strange Fire. Some unknown power is mixed in the arrow. Lin Luoran can't help looking up at the sun over her head.
She is in a completely different environment from the Dragon Palace. Is the timing so coincidental that the "Arrow of Light" becomes unusual? Is the power of the sun the thing that increases the effect of the spell?
Arrow is only a thing and it can't answer Lin's question. It rushes at Crystal with great momentum. Crystal immediately senses the danger and turns around.
She is not capable of fighting this. All she can do is to dodge!
If the arrow can be dodged so easily, it doesn't deserve to be called the "Arrow of Light". The speed of light is faster than that of sound. No matter how strong Crystal is, she is only a vampire. She is not one of the primitive monsters who can beat an enemy regardless of their levels. Therefore, the arrow hits Crystal's golden wings.
At the same time, the figure circle collapses and Riddick is out!
To be more precise, Crystal is more than being hit. She is always proud of her body, yet her wings are pierced by the burning arrow.
The arrow is a few inches away from piercing Crystal's heart. Seeing that Crystal falls on the ground because her wings are powerless, Lin Luoran feels a pity in her heart. It's such a pity that the arrow fails to kill Crystal immediately. The Arrow of Light senses the grudge of its owner. After piercing through Crystal's wings, its momentum is not over. Huaxia cultivators on the scene have gone and hidden themselves and the descendant of Riddick is shot by the arrow by the heart and nailed to the tall cherry bay in the yard.
Crystal is injured and the descendant is dead. Riddick doesn't think Lin Luoran is interesting anymore. He has a feeling that years ago, when Crystal had unusual feelings for Lin Luoran, the tragedy today is doomed to happen.
Riddick rushes to Crystal when she is falling and holds her in his arms. When he lands, his cheek, which is burnt by the lightning, is shaking.
Lin Luoran looks around and a fire bow with a beautifully carved three-feet golden crow appears in front of her again. From Lin's first arrow, Riddick knows that once he becomes the target, there is no chance of surviving. He holds Crystal tightly and their cold bodies can't warm each other. Nevertheless, Riddick wants to give more strength to his sister.
Crystal, who should be afraid, smiles creepily in Riddick's arms.
......
Wen Guanjing finally finds a way to deal with the spider silk. After a dazzling light, he gets out of the trap and walks to Lin Luoran.
The one last arrow in Riddick's imagination is not out. He raises his head and finds that Lin Luoran is not targeting him nor Crystal, but the cherry bay behind them.
Lin Luoran is sweating. Both Wen Guanjing and An are confused. Huang Weijian, who has stayed alert, is also staring at the cherry bay. The body of the dead vampire is under the tree. Everything seems to be perfectly normal. However, the bald pen in Huang's hand is shaking.
Scare, happiness, excitement... The bald pen delivers these complex emotions to Huang Weijian. Huang now knows that the bat monster is here.
"Aren't you going to come out, your Venerable?" Lin Luoran is nervous but confident at the same time. No matter how powerful the bat is, it can't be the black shadow Venerable himself. If the Venerable himself is out of the secret land, he would have long since eaten Lin Luoran alive. Lin never forgets the feeling of the Venerable staring at her bead. Lin knows that he recognizes the bead. In Lin's view, everybody, human or monster, who recognizes the bead always wants to keep it. Lin Luoran can't imagine who was the person that made the bead. A god?
Lin Luoran is so nervous that her hands are sweating. The bow is not an entity, but Lin is concentrated.
If the last arrow really drew the power of the sun, will it be enough to kill the bat?
Her arms are stable. Lin Luoran secretly encourages herself.
Most of the low-level vampires are killed by Huaxia cultivators. The yard is covered by blood and the blood mostly belongs to the vampires. Other Huaxia cultivators are wrapping up. They feel the serious atmosphere and stay away from the cherry bay, yet they pay attention to surrounding Cyrstal and Riddick on the ground.
With the sound of laughing, a pointed face appears on the trunk of the cherry bay. It's the vampire bat—
"Hello again, junior Qi-trainer."
A bat just speaks human language. The cultivators step back. Compared with the vampires, a bat that speaks the human language is more like a monster.
However, nobody knows that this is not an ordinary bat. It is a primitive monster from 10, 000 years ago!
Lin Luoran has no mood to talk about the old days with it. The Arrow of Light is out as soon as the bat shows itself.
Different from Riddick's desperation, Lin Luoran can see that the emotion on the bat's human face is nothing but despise. This female Qi-trainer has forgotten her previous mistakes. I must make a deeper impression on her.
The vampire bat spreads its wings. In an instance, the entire Textile School goes dark like a giant black cover is over it.
Darkness. Infinite darkness.
