Chapter 756: Snatching the magic source of holy water, breaking through
The so-called stronghold is actually a small city gate.
It is located on the dividing line between the outer and inner circles of the Warcraft Forest.
As long as you pass through the stronghold, you are equivalent to passing through the outer circle of the forest and arriving at the inner circle.
And above the dividing line, there are many such strongholds.
Their function is to warn the monsters in the monster forest, especially the big ones in the inner circle, to prevent them from making any changes.
After all, the entire Warcraft Forest belongs to the Holy Magnolia Empire, and the Warcraft in it are essentially the wealth raised by the empire.
Therefore, there are imperial soldiers stationed in these strongholds.
When Jiang Chen brought the iron-eating beast to the city gate.
An alarm sounded on the city wall.
More than a dozen archers appeared in the crenellations of the city wall.
At the same time, a group of spearmen poured out from the city gate.
"Ho~!"
Not sure if it sensed danger, the Iron-eating Beast immediately howled angrily at the soldiers.
The deafening sound wave made Jiang Chen cover his ears and take two steps back.
If you bear it hard, the sound can make people deaf!
"There is a student next to the Iron-eating Beast, don't hurt him!"
At this time, on the city wall, a middle-aged man who looked like an officer shouted.
Immediately, more than a dozen archers at the crenellations of the city wall drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the Iron-Eating Beast.
The dozens of spearmen on the ground also pointed their spear heads forward and assumed a fighting posture.
"Panda, calm down!"
Jiang Chen first comforted the iron-eating beast, then quickly moved forward, opened his hands and shouted: "Don't do anything, this iron-eating beast is my partner!"
"The Iron-eating Beast is a king-level monster. How can you, a little student, conquer it?"
On the city wall, the officer asked doubtfully.
"I didn't surrender to it."
Jiang Chen didn't know how to explain it, so he shouted: "We are just friends. As you can see, it will not attack me."
"That is to say, it is not your contracted beast."
The middle-aged officer glanced at the Iron-Eating Beast and then said: "According to regulations, ownerless monsters are not allowed to enter the city gate, otherwise we must get rid of them!"
"I let it go."
Jiang Chen wanted to bring the Iron Devouring Beast into the city, but he had no choice now.
Immediately, he turned his head, reached out and touched the head of the iron-eating beast and said, "Panda, you have to leave. Thank you for sending me here."
"Woo~!"
The Iron-eating Beast arched its head and whimpered, seemingly reluctant to give up.
"We will meet again if we are destined, let's go!"
Jiang Chen raised his hand.
"Ho~!"
Immediately, the Iron-eating Beast raised its head and roared angrily at the people on the city wall, then turned around and jumped, turning into an afterimage and disappearing into the tall grass.
It can be seen that the middle-aged officer suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want to break out into a battle with a king-level monster unless absolutely necessary.
"Everyone, stand down and stay alert!"
The officer gave an order loudly, then took a deep look at Jiang Chen, turned around and disappeared on the city wall.
The pikemen at the city gate also retreated like the tide.
Immediately, Jiang Chen stepped into the city.
At the same time, a wave of dizziness hit his mind, and his vision suddenly went dark.
…………
"Congratulations to all the students who have traveled a long way to this stronghold and successfully passed the preliminary election of the alliance competition!"
In a daze, Jiang Chen heard a strong voice.
He opened his eyes and found that he was on a piece of yellow gravel land.
He looked around and saw that this should be an open-air square in the stronghold.
There were twenty or thirty young men and women here with him.
These are the people who have passed the preliminary competition in major colleges.
The girl named Xuandai from before was standing next to Jiang Chen.
At this time, everyone was looking at a middle-aged man on the high platform in front of him.
To be precise, he was looking at the table in front of the man.
Because there are rows of transparent glass bottles neatly placed on the table.
The bottle is filled with light blue liquid, which exudes a charming halo.
"What's on the table is...the devil's holy water?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked.
"Yes, I've seen it before."
Xuanda on the side nodded.
"Without further ado, I will now give you the rewards for passing the primary election, the Holy Water of Demon Source!"
The middle-aged man's voice sounded. He seemed to know that everyone was focused on the reward, so he waved his hand.
The rows of small glass bottles on the table in front of him suddenly flew into the air.
Immediately afterwards, they landed very accurately on every student on the field.
One of the bottles flew to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen immediately reached out and grabbed the glass bottle in front of him.
Immediately, he asked Xuandai on the side: "Miss Xuandai, can this devil source holy water be drunk directly?"
"Yeah, you don't know?"
Xuan Dai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "After drinking the magic source holy water, simply refining it can greatly increase the magic power in the body without any side effects."
"Then if there is enough magic source holy water, wouldn't it be possible to increase the magic power in the body to the level of a great mage?"
Jiang Chen asked immediately.
"It's impossible. If you drink too much magic source holy water, it will be useless. The first two or three bottles will have the last effect. The more you drink, the less magic power you will increase."
Xuanda explained and asked: "Didn't your college teacher tell you?"
"I never said it. I guess I think I can't pass the primary election."
Jiang Chen muttered to himself, and then opened the cork of the bottle.
He raised his head and drank the light blue liquid in the glass bottle in one gulp.
Suddenly, a cool feeling rushed into my abdomen.
Immediately afterwards, the coolness turned into warmth, which quickly circulated through the body.
At the same time, Jiang Chen found that the magic power in his body was skyrocketing!
In just a moment, he felt that he had touched the level of a senior magician, and it seemed that he could break through just by piercing that barrier!
However, the effect of the magic source holy water was also absorbed at this time.
"Just a little bit closer!"
Jiang Chen roared silently, and then looked around.
It can be seen that many people have drunk the holy water of the devil source and are refining with their eyes closed.
However, some people were still holding glass bottles and looking at them.
How about grabbing a bottle?!
This thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.
Without hesitation, he quietly approached one of the young men who was holding a glass bottle and had not yet drank from it.
"Is there something wrong, Your Excellency?"
The young man noticed Jiang Chen approaching, and he just finished speaking.
Jiang Chen suddenly accelerated and muttered silently: "Spiritual Puncture!"
"you want……"
The young man's pupils shrank, and before he could say the words "What are you doing?", there was a sharp stabbing pain in his mind.
There was a brief moment of confusion in his eyes.
At the same time, Jiang Chen snatched the glass bottle from the young man's hand.
