The extra-dimensional space that overlaps inside Grand Forest, is the western edge of the Dark Thunder Ruins.
An invisible spatial fluctuation rippled like water and quickly disappeared.
Natalia, who was running, felt as if she had passed through an invisible curtain of water. She was a little dizzy and suffocated, but she soon returned to normal.
But the scene in front of me seemed a little different. The woods that were supposed to be getting sparser suddenly became denser, and there was a cold and dark atmosphere.
"Meow……"
The group of cat monsters following Natalya, including the poisonous cat King Pepple, went crazy for no apparent reason. Suddenly, their hair stood on end and they let out a shrill scream.
"Danger, there is danger here, be alert!"
Pepper screamed loudly, bent over and hugged the little goblin Mani tightly in her arms, turning her head and looking around with great vigilance.
Cat demons are the evolved form of animals, and their sense of danger is much stronger than that of humans. Natalia and others have not noticed anything is wrong around them, but the cat demons feel something abnormal.
"What's wrong……"
Natalia was infected by the tense atmosphere of the cat demon and became vigilant. However, before she could ask the reason, the danger had already arrived.
"roar……"
A low roar similar to that of a ferocious beast came from all directions.
Immediately afterwards, strange figures emerged from the surrounding woods and pounced on the group of cat demons like hungry beasts.
With a rotten and ferocious appearance and a stiff and tattered body, those who came were none other than the specialty of the Dark Thunder Ruins - the zombie swarm!
"ah!"
Natalia was surrounded by little girls. When she suddenly saw the terrifying appearance of the zombies, she was frightened and screamed.
Cyrus, whose heart was as solid as stone, Lobach and Chozaburo, who were used to seeing all kinds of scenes, and Princess Isabella, who had the most noble blood flowing in her bones, did not scream, but they were frightened and turned pale.
On the contrary, Natalia, who was under thirteen years old, narrowed her blood-red pupils slightly, quickly observed the surrounding situation, and loudly ordered: "Get ready to break out! The rear is the most empty. Pep and Chozaburo are taking the lead, and the others are
Follow up quickly, hurry up, don’t delay!”
Their team was fleeing to the west, and the rear of the team was to the east. I don’t know what happened to these zombies. Most of them were distributed in the ruins of the city and the outermost edge of the forest. Natalia and the others happened to bump into the zombies in the west.
group, breaking out to the east is the most correct choice.
Hearing Natalia's call, the others took action quickly. The poisonous cat King Pepple also immediately ordered the cat monsters to break out to the east. Only Princess Isabella glanced at Natalia with a meaningful look.
"Damn it, what on earth are these, they have such strong defense!"
Chozaburo, who was at the forefront, used the sharp claws on his hands to attack the disgusting and ferocious zombies, but found that his attack was difficult to break through the zombie's rotting body.
You must know that the sharp claws in her hands are blue elite-level weapons, and Ying Tianyi bought them specially for her. Attacking these moving corpses was like stabbing on a steel plate, making her hands numb.
In desperation, Chosaburo had no choice but to hold back his nausea. He opened the zombie with a fist and bit her head. He quickly grabbed the zombie's shoulder and detonated the gunpowder hidden in his hand.
"boom!"
The explosion was not too strong, but its power was very concentrated, blowing up half of the zombie's body at once.
This is Street Fighter's professional signature skill "Capturing Moon Flame", which has dual physical and magical attack effects. The magical attack is also of fire attribute, which can cause huge damage to zombies.
"Bang!"
Not far away, Lobach slashed at the zombies with a giant sword, and she became depressed as a result.
The zombie's physical defense was too high, and her weapons were blue elite-level. They couldn't break through the zombie's rotting body. Instead, she was shocked to the point where her arms were numb.
"call……"
A pumpkin-shaped fireball flew rapidly from behind and struck the zombie who was waving his claws to attack Lobach. It blew the zombie upside down and its rotting body quickly began to burn.
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!"
Lobach turned around and nodded to Isabella in thanks.
Isabella smiled slightly, turned around and continued to cast magic to assist others in attacking.
Natalya followed the poisonous cat King Pepper, attacking zombies while casting the swordsman skill "Demon Sword Arrival" to change the shape and attributes of the weapon.
She discovered that the physical defenses of these disgusting living corpses were frighteningly high. Even Pepple's sharp claws could only break through the defenses, but could not cause any more damage to them.
What's even more outrageous is that these living corpses are not even afraid of Pep's most powerful corrosive blood poison, and they roar and attack continuously.
In just a short while, the living corpses surrounding them had already caught several cat demons and bit them to death.
Fortunately, the weapon in Natalia's hand is the purple magical dagger that Ying Tianyi won from little Roland, which can break through the zombie's defense.
After several experiments, she found that zombies are afraid of fire and light attributes. The magic attack issued by Isabella not far away can kill these disgusting living zombies instantly.
With these findings, Natalia loudly ordered again: "Karena, lend your weapon to Lobach. Others change fire attributes or light attributes and break forward. Pay attention to protect Isabella.
These living zombies are afraid of magic attacks, and this time she is the main force!"
The little cow Kalena always obeyed Natalia's words. After hearing this, she immediately threw the "Sunan Secret Shadow Long Sword" in her hand to Lobach, then pulled out the spare dagger, activated the "Demon Sword Advent" skill, and used the dagger to
The sword transformed into the ancient magic sword "Planz of Fire" and rushed to the front line of the breakout.
Including Natalia, there are a total of nine swordsman girls. Their greatest advantage is that they can change the properties of their weapons at will to cope with various situations.
To deal with these zombies with amazing physical defenses, fire-attributed magic swords and light-attributed magic swords are the sharpest. Even if the weapons themselves are not of high quality, they can successfully break through the defenses.
Lobach got the purple magic-level giant sword, and also had the power to fight. He used the high attack characteristics of his Berserker profession to the limit, killing zombies and retreating in succession.
On the contrary, Cyrus, who was guarding Isabella, was the most depressed. She did not have a magic weapon. Even if she switched the weapon to a snake belly sword, she had nothing to do with the thick-skinned zombies and could only guard Isabella tightly.
around.
As a magician, Isabella has always been hiding behind to serve as a fort, or directly playing soy sauce, but this time she was allowed to give full play to her. "Flame Blast" powerfully opened the way, and "Jack Bomb" was ready to rescue everyone.
It has become an out-and-out main force.
Unfortunately, there were too many zombies, and they swarmed everyone, causing great pressure on everyone.
The most unlucky ones are naturally the cat monsters. Their sharp claws that can tear apart elite-level armor are powerless when faced with zombies, and they continue to die in battle.
When everyone rushed out of the encirclement in embarrassment, Pepple turned around to count and cried on the spot.
Its poor cat demon men were almost completely wiped out after this battle, with only two or three kittens left.
"Run quickly, now is not the time to be sad!"
Natalia was worried that the zombie swarm would catch up and that the Minotaur would intercept her, so she could only retreat forward cautiously.
Fortunately, they did not encounter a worse situation. The group of people quickly retreated and finally got rid of the zombies. No trace of the Minotaur was found in front of them.
When they stopped to rest, the thoughtful Isabella discovered that they seemed to be in big trouble again. This was not the original forest at all...
In the treehouse in the ruins of the city, Ying Tianyi was still sleeping, unaware that Natalia and others had also entered the Dark Thunder Ruins.
The pocket version of Gloria floating next to Ying Tianyi, after some thinking, finally had no choice but to accept her fate and accept the reality.
She knew that her life was over. She couldn't escape even if she wanted to, and she couldn't die even if she wanted to. She could only become Ying Tianyi's pet and be played by him to the end.
The most terrifying thing was that she could clearly feel that there were several pairs of eyes on Ying Tianyi's left hand, staring at her.
Those eyes emitted powerful and terrifying soul fluctuations, and it seemed that just one breath could kill her.
Suddenly, a strong suction force came, and Gloria's soul body was unable to resist at all, and was sucked into Ying Tianyi's body.
When Gloria reacted, she found herself in an ethereal and mysterious space, with several powerful and terrifying demons standing in front of her.
One of them was a blood-red demon holding a sword and axe, exuding a suffocating and terrifying fighting spirit.
Another green horned demon, his eyes were as bright as stars, but there was an extremely vulgar smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
There was also a tall dark red demon with a strange aura, and his face could not be seen clearly, except for the two dots of scarlet flashing in his eyes.
The most terrifying thing is the last black demon, with two demonic bat wings on his back. He has a ghostly aura all over his body, but his face is very clear and familiar. He is very similar to Ying Tianyi.
This is inside the blood-red cross pattern space, and the demons Greia saw were none other than Kazan, Pu Meng and Tamos. The last black bat-winged demon was the transformed form of Ying Tianyi's spiritual body.
On the other hand, Gloria herself, because she entered directly in the soul body form, her appearance did not change at all, but her body returned to its original size.
The black demon stepped forward, hugged Gloria, and said in a deep voice: "Welcome to the ghost and god space, I will introduce you to my master and servant."
"This bloody ghost is none other than the famous Uncle Kazan. This green ghost is my teacher Pu Meng, the most powerful psychic mage in the world. The remaining dark red devil is a sword demon from the devil world.
Tamos is also my servant."
"As for me..." A ferocious smile appeared at the corner of Ying Tianyi's lips, he stretched out his hand and squeezed Grea's chest hard, and said, "Feel my breath, and you will know who I am!"
Poor Gloria was already trembling with fear.
She is just an ordinary soul body and cannot withstand the soul pressure from ghosts, gods and demon kings. If it were not for being Ying Tianyi's pet and her soul will last forever, she would probably have died right now.
In fact, Ying Tianyi didn't need to explain it. Greya had already felt the profound connection between the two of them, which originated from the depths of their souls. It's just that one is the master and the other is the slave, which can never be changed.
Gloria, who had accepted the reality, could not figure out why Ying Tianyi's appearance turned into a demon, but she suppressed the fear in her heart, knelt down obediently, and said respectfully: "This slave has met the master!"
"Hehe, this little girl is quite aware of current affairs, and she accepts reality so quickly!"
Pu Meng smiled and said: "Since she is so obedient, then follow the plan and try to train her to see if you can succeed. Once you succeed, there will be a hidden helper around you!"
It turned out that Ying Tianyi was not really sleeping when he was lying there, but he ran into the bloody cross pattern space to chat with Kazan and the others.
Based on Pu Meng's explanation of the soul contract ability and Ying Tianyi's understanding of the game system he was integrated into, he planned to train Gloria as a hidden combat power that he could carry with him.
Kazan and Pu Meng only signed a symbiosis contract with Ying Tianyi, allowing them to borrow strength from each other and improve their own strength with the help of each other's growth.
Tamos is a special existence. He was unreasonably forced into a contract by the game system to activate the Demon Contractor profession, and was used to supplement the power of the Demon Contractor profession. Ying Tianyi could borrow his power, but he couldn't.
Even if there are no benefits at all, it is the kind of person who is extremely unlucky.
Only Gloria is a serious pet, and belongs exclusively to Ying Tianyi.
In the DNF game, pets can also be upgraded and assist their owners.
In this real world, Ying Tianyi guessed that since pets can be contracted, pets should also be able to upgrade.
At present, Gloria is of no use to him, she is just a mascot. If she wants to be effective, the only way is to upgrade and strengthen her.
After experiments, Ying Tianyi has arranged a room in the pet space, which contains various furniture and daily necessities, and plans to accommodate Gloria.
What Gloria has to do is to stay in the pet space, absorb the soul essence given to her by Ying Tian, and slowly become stronger.
When Gloria can solidify, she may be able to unleash her power as a gunner and become the assistant that Ying Tianyi carries with him...
