Chapter 398: The Strange Snow Leopard
After drifting for more than two hours in the cold, damp water, the stone raft finally reached land where it could stay. Lu Xi felt a little lucky, glad that if the secret treasure Moonlight Ark that he had just arrived was blessed, it would indeed be a big problem whether his "Lu Xi Ark", which was made of floor tiles, could last so long.
Immediately after going ashore, there is a maze of moats outside the city. Of course, the labyrinth's mechanisms and autonomic weapons have lost their momentum with the explosion of the Eye of Iotheus and Nogagor's self-sacrifice, but the maze of traps is still fraught with danger. Fortunately, Lu Xi opened the battlefield map, and the witch lady put it in the sky to detect the magic eye holographic twenty-four hours a day, although everyone walked a few times, but after spending half a day, they finally came to the outside of the labyrinth, that is, near the lava crack where everyone and the snake demon general's legion encountered for the first time.
The lava crack was still spewing a blazing firestorm outside, but everyone could no longer smell the strange sulfur smell, and they couldn't even feel the obvious spatial fluctuations before. In other words, the dimensional rift that allowed the Thirteenth Demon Legion to escape to the main plane has been automatically filled with time.
Sai Xiliu was worried that there were still demonic fish near this crack, so everyone spent an extra half a day searching for it nearby, and really killed some demonic miscellaneous soldiers such as inferior demons and sinking demons who were hiding in the corners and shivering. These low-level demons should be small characters such as military slaves, minions, and even emergency rations of the Thirteenth Legion, perhaps they did not enter the city with the large army, and finally escaped the flood, but they did not escape the sword combination of the knights.
After cleaning up these little monsters. Everyone continued the way they came. By the time they set foot on the cliff where Karin had made her proclamation to conquer Gudeteas, it was already the second day since they left the city. In the distance, the giant city has lost its light source, and it has been hidden in a thick black curtain. The light source of the light, the illumination of the moonlight moss, can only paint the buildings that look like ancient monuments with some faint outlines. Once illuminated by the light of the Eye of Ioseus, veins of crystals and gems flowed like stars between the cliffs and rocks. In the deep darkness there was no trace of it again.
Maybe everyone really conquered Goodetheas, right? At least the giants' relics and the demons' gear are now the team's trophies. Although they lost a third of their companions, and although many were still seriously injured and could no longer fight, such losses were really not worth mentioning compared to the gains. From the point of view of an adventurer or a grave robber, this is an unprecedented harvest.
But did they conquer Gudeteas, or did Gudeteas the last remnant government take them?
Everyone present may not be able to tell.
Standing on the mountain, a short ramp behind you leads to the Crystal Creek Cave. Here, however, everyone involuntarily stopped. It seems that he wants to engrave in his heart the city behind the curtain of that night, the city that has been flooded by the icy underground flood.
"I guess I won't be coming back, right?" Sai Xiliu looked at Lu Xi and asked in a somewhat stunned tone. She may have asked Lu Xi, or she felt that she had to say something at this time, so she deliberately opened her mouth.
"I suppose even Brother Nogagor doesn't want to be disturbed, right?" Lu Xi looked at the mountains.
Lu Xi clutched a crystal-like fragment tightly. This was actually one of the body fragments that the Titan Giant turned into at the moment of collapse, a blue-blue fragment that exuded a metallic and sapphire-like luster. This should actually be a part of the epidermis of Nogagor's body, which is not cold and hard like metal in the hand. It's still warm and moist, and you can even feel a hint of thunder and lightning and a sense of rhythm like a storm.
Lu Xi looked at everyone, dug a small pit in the mountain wall, and put the fragments in it. They built a small mound out of stones.
"Do you want to erect another monument?" Karin asked.
"This kind of thing is to erect a monument and write an article. It is for the living, not for the dead. I think the big guy guy who was cool to the bone until the end. I don't care about that. ”
"That's right." Karin smiled, very calmly.
"After a while. When the serialization of "Spiritual Song" is finished, I will bring the collection version to burn here. Brother Nogagor's spirit in the sky has returned to his people in the depths of the stars in the sky. You must be able to read it, right? ”
"He'll be able to read it." Karin said in a categorical tone.
They stand here to remember the greatest comrade-in-arms they have ever met in their lives, not to mourn each other, but to remember him.
After a few minutes of silent staring, Lu Xi and Karin glanced at each other and walked out of the passage. Everyone followed. When they came in, they were enveloped in an atmosphere of excitement, excitement, worry, and a little fear, but when they went out, they became a silent, alert, but high-spirited procession.
The rookie knights have actually grown up.
Lu Xi originally thought that his fate with the Titans would end here, but when the vision in front of him had begun to appear the light of the stalactites of the Crystal Creek Cave, he also saw a vaguely familiar figure.
It was a huge wolf-like "demonic beast", almost two meters high on its back, six meters long in its body, under the faint light of the stalactite, the whole body exuded a cold luster, and the body on both sides seemed to have two wing-like hanging wings. The claws on the ground were as heavy as battering rams, and their necks were raised high, revealing blade-like teeth.
This one...... It seems like an acquaintance, huh?
Lu Xi held his chin and thought for a few seconds, then pointed at the huge "wolf" and said in a tentative tone: "Namelia? ”
The giant wolf turned around, and everyone realized that it was a puppet wolf made of metal and machinery, one of several large constructed golems summoned by the titan Nogagor...... At least it must be the same model. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to see animals coquettish or cute from a metal wolf, but it closed its mouth, and its two pairs of crystal eyes no longer flashed with a dangerous red light. It walked over to Lu Xi. Ignoring the other people's tense state of guard, he just lay down beside him. It seems to be really a loyal Wang Xingren pet, that is, it is ridiculously big.
"Nymelia. It's really you! ”
At that time, in order to go to the civil tower on the other side to pull the sluice, the Titan Giant borrowed a puppet wolf for Lu Xi to use as a mount to break out. After the sluice was pulled down, in order to carry out the legendary "ghost operation", everyone secretly sneaked back to the central tower, and left the Eskar 3 battlefield assault puppet that Lu Xi had named "Namelia" in place.
Lu Xi originally thought that under such a flood, even an entire demon army would be wiped out, and it was naturally unlikely that Nymeria would be spared. There is still some pity in my heart, but I never thought that these puppets produced by Titan Black Technology would have such excellent AI, and they would run to a safe place outside the city by themselves.
"Your master is gone. Will you follow me? Lu Xi stroked the metal back of the wolf puppet, as if he was smoothing the hair of a loyal big dog.
Naturally, Namelia didn't make a "woo" sound to sell cuteness, he just raised his head and gently touched Lu Xi's shoulder, as if he was recording the smell of the other party.
"Of course, if you're willing to live with that sister over there, I'm not going to object to it. My alchemy level is average. And she's an expert in this area, and she should know how to use your strength better, well, and even develop more of your potential. Lu Xi held Namelia's head. He pointed to Sehireu on the side. At this time, Miss Student Council President was staring at this huge wolf-shaped puppet, her face full of envy, jealousy and hatred. It's almost drooling. For a magician who studies alchemy, this kind of technology was born under the black technology of Titan. Of course, I can't wait to study it properly, and even sleep with it in my arms.
Namelia looked at Lu Xi and then at Sehiru. After hesitating for a few seconds, he did not hesitate to leave the former behind. Or for it, compared to the pseudo-lady gentleman who has fought side by side and cooperated, it is still a very decent and reliable sister paper that is much more pleasing to the eye.
All in all, after Sehireu ecstatically patted the wolf puppet and renamed its tall "Namelia" to the poor "Asha", it was placed in the subspace where the puppet was stored. During this period, Lu Xi said that he had no idea that the alchemy puppet produced by the dignified Titan was such a conscienceless guy, and he was actually very hurt.
Lu Xi shook his head with an injured mood and walked out of the passage, entered the stalactite cave of Jingxi Cave, and drew the Sword of the Dawn Knight. He knew, when he first saw Nymelia, uh, now Asha, grinning and baring its sharp teeth, as if it was threatening something. Of course, that thing shouldn't be a high-threat target, otherwise Asha wouldn't have let down his guard and ran over as soon as he heard his call.
Lu Xi opened the "God of War True Eye" and scanned the surrounding environment, and soon locked on a shaggy figure that was huddled in the crack of the stone.
Uh, isn't this a snow leopard?
Hey, isn't it just a snow leopard? With our current combat power, to put it bluntly, it's just a big cat that only delivers food. Although in terms of the size of the snow leopard, it is indeed fat and huge.
Well, the meat of the snow leopard is not tasty, but the whole fur is still quite valuable, and the teeth and eyes can also be used as alchemical materials.
Lu Xi pondered where to slash as he stepped forward and kicked it. This "elegant and fast" snow-capped mountain beast suddenly felt like a rabbit touched by a wolf's fangs, and its whole body trembled, and its fur felt turned over. It seemed to want to escape, but there was a crutch between its legs, and it slipped immediately, and immediately it was a flat fall that it was happy to see.
…… This scene, I vaguely seem to have seen it somewhere, right? Lu Xi thought.
The snow leopard finally turned around tremblingly, glanced at the heavily armed knights, and seemed to be even more afraid, but when its gaze swept to Lu Xi's body, its eyes suddenly lit up, as if it saw a relative, tears poured out, and it pounced on the ground and hugged Lu Xi's thigh directly.
In fact, with Lu Xi's ability, it is easy to avoid the snow leopard's rolling thighs, even if he is hugged, he can be pulled away by just lifting his feet, but seeing the pitiful giant cat's face that seems to have been abandoned for a few months and is ecstatic when he meets his relatives, compassion suddenly arises.
Lu Xi said that he was really a little confused about the current situation, and his friends were naturally surprised. Of course, the current scene is not dangerous or demonic, but it is full of a strange sense of absurdity.
"Is this the pet cat that Xiao Luxi abandoned before? It's all coming to the door, but what an obsession! Hey, little Luxi, it's not good to abandon pets, but in the minds of girls, it will reduce points. Karin clasped her hands and smiled. Apparently prepared to be optimistic about its changes.
It is said that it is easy to get the love of animals and plants, and Miss Lori also looked at Lu Xi with contemptuous eyes, and her mouth began to burst out of her mouth with bitter and mean words: "It's the first time I've seen such a fat snow leopard." Alas, alas, what a poor child, to meet such an irresponsible master. Don't worry, if he doesn't want you, come with me. I will definitely take good care of you. ”
Then you can use it as an emergency ration for the beastmasters? In this way, the level of poor Prometheus-kun can also be raised a little, right? Lu Xi turned his head, glanced at Miss Witch angrily, and then lowered his head and continued to think.
Could it really be my abandoned pet cat that came to my door? But that's not right, I remember that I raised a golden retriever on the earth, a black panther on Norda, and just fed a litter of albatross on Colorful Rose Island, where did such a big giant cat come from?
The snow leopard was still holding Lu Xi's feet, raised its head and whined, and all kinds of excited liquids came out of its eyes and nose and flung around. It seemed to be desperate to say something, but it couldn't make a normal sound at all, so Lu Xi had no choice but to look at Miss Witch, who was said to be able to communicate with plants, trees, fish and insects.
"Don't look at me. The kid wasn't talking at all. Moreover, I always feel ......" Rosalie thought for a moment, and her eyes suddenly sank: "No, this is not a snow leopard at all. Lu Xi, kick it out! Let me take a good look at who is doing it! ”
Hearing the murderous words of legal Lori, the snow leopard's tears suddenly became richer, and he shook his head vigorously to show everyone that he was harmless. Lu Xi shook his head helplessly and turned on the exploration technique.
(Name: Panarhis.) Race: Snow leopard (possessed). Class: Mammalian carnivorous beast. Strength: Bronze 3rd Rank. )
…… Panarhis, I don't think I've heard this name somewhere, right? (To be continued......)
