As the most core area in the Palace of Origins besides Fairyland, not only does the palace lack any sanctity and solemnity, but it actually looks very gloomy with the doors and windows closed on all sides.
As Lu Xiao violently cut open the door and moved forward, the sound of munching continued to be heard in the palace, which sounded very scary in the dark environment.
As he walked along the main road in the palace, Lu Xiao found several red-clothed nobles gnawing at corpses.
And the corpses they gnawed on turned out to be their compatriots, the Yugamei tribesmen dressed in blue.
"These crazy people..."
Lu Xiao frowned. The Yujiamei nobles who were busy gnawing at their compatriots turned a blind eye to Lu Xiao's arrival. They seemed to have completely lost their natural sanity.
After mercilessly killing the group of red-clothed beauties suspected of being members of the royal family, Lu Xiao pushed open another door deep in the palace.
"Um?"
As the door opened, fresh air poured into the turbid palace, and Lu Xiao's spirit was lifted.
But it wasn't just the air quality that made him wonder. The concentration of magic power near the mountain behind the palace was much higher than in other areas of the Palace of Origin.
"Could it be..."
Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes as he looked at the winding mountain road, and tentatively drew runes in the air with his fingers.
When the flames began to burn, the stored magic power in Lu Xiao's body also entered a state of consumption, but in this mountain, the magic power was replenished at least several times faster than in the outside world, which would not allow Lu Xiao to stop using a few small spells.
Golden lightning flashed above the mountain. Lu Xiao stood there and thought for a moment, then sat on the ground in this beautiful scene and took out the Ba Zhiliu secret book that he had exchanged with Wei Sheng before.
As early as when he learned the sword technique of flying across the floating boat and flying through the swirling clouds, Lu Xiao had a skill called Ba Zhiliu added to his skill list. After many times of actual combat use, Ba Zhiliu's skill level could reach D
class.
With Lu Xiao's enhanced learning ability, it didn't take much time to master the skills in Ba Zhilei's secret book.
Ba Zhilei who successfully learns it will be incorporated into Ba Zhiliu and become a branch skill of its subordinates, enjoying a D-level skill level bonus.
After Lu Xiao's attempt (seeking death), at the cost of being electrocuted many times until his whole body went numb, he finally figured out Ba Zhilei's release techniques.
Just like the technique of returning lightning developed by Ashina's ancestors, in order to avoid using your body as a conductive material, you must keep your feet off the ground when directing lightning. That is, you must jump in the air to catch the lightning and throw it away before landing.
release.
There is a reason why this skill is nicknamed "Free Thunder" by players. Taking off hastily in the middle of a fierce battle is inherently risky.
If the enemy doesn't know the relevant countermeasures, Ba Zhilei should be able to defeat him.
But when the other party knows the details of Ba Zhi's thunder, he can use the lightning return technique with the same principle to knock back the lightning and backfire on the user himself.
Lu Xiao was not sure for the time being whether raising Ba Zhiliu's skill level to a higher level would eliminate the weakness of having to take off, but in this mountain with bursts of thunder and lightning, Ba Zhi Lei with matching attributes is indeed one of the best solutions at the moment.
.
Climbing slowly along the mountain road, Lu Xiao would encounter a group of elite and beautiful warriors every time he walked up the stairs.
As expected, these Yujiamei warriors also knew how to take advantage of the favorable time and place to trigger thunder on the spot to launch a lightning strike at Lu Xiao.
Different from the game, the thunder and lightning triggered in this mountain peak is too powerful, and you cannot simply use the thunder and lightning to knock it back. If you catch the lightning with the sword, you will be paralyzed by the electricity at the same time.
Lu Xiao tried to use breath blocking to sneak past, but it was as if someone had set up an anti-invisibility barrier in the mountain. Once Lu Xiao turned on the breath blocking, thunder and lightning would automatically chase him and attack crazily.
As a last resort, Lu Xiao could only climb up one level at a time, killing the Yujiamei warriors who stood at a high place and had the advantage of the terrain one by one.
After going through numerous torii gates to reach the top of the mountain, Lu Xiao saw a small cave with an altar. A well-preserved female corpse was lying on the big stone of the altar. There were many cherry blossoms blooming around her.
branch.
This woman wearing ancient palace attire from the Heian period should be the first generation shrine maiden of the Yukamei clan who worshiped the Sakura Dragon.
Judging from her physical characteristics that are the same as those of humans, it turns out that the current Yujiamei tribe are all alien species whose life forms have been distorted.
Lu Xiao originally planned to take a closer look at the appearance of this shrine maiden, but when he stepped into the shrine cave, the surrounding scene suddenly began to change, and cherry-colored mist enveloped his body.
When Lu Xiao came back to consciousness from a moment of trance, the shrine and the corpse of the witch had disappeared, replaced by a mysterious space shrouded in clouds and mist.
He seemed to be standing above the clouds. Looking around, he could see the mountains and rivers around Ashina, and the palaces of the Minamoto Palace were also looming under the clouds. It was obvious that this place was not just an illusion.
"Is this the fairyland where Yinglong lives?"
"Suck~"
Lu Xiao sniffed subconsciously. The faint fragrance of cherry blossoms filled the air. What was even more noticeable was the extraordinary concentration of magic power in the fairyland.
The mountain road densely covered with electricity previously had a concentration of magic power several times that of Ashina and the Source Palace, and in Fairyland it was doubled again on this basis.
Lu Xiao subconsciously made a circle with his right hand to try to open the portal. The experiment was very successful. Lu Xiao could clearly see the scene on the other side of the portal.
The portal opened by Lu Xiao leads to the castle tower of Ashina Castle, the temporary guest room where he had rested before.
But what made him feel embarrassed was that in the room that was supposed to be empty, there was a woman wearing moon-white kimono and pajamas who was changing.
Using the dynamic vision of Eagle Eyes, Lu Xiao recorded the opponent's exposed snow-white back in a thousandth of a second and subconsciously kept it in his mind. Before he was discovered, he carefully closed the portal.
"Um?"
Yongzhen, who was about to take off his pajamas and change into his normal clothes, paused with his hands, held on to his clothes in confusion, and turned to look behind him.
She smelled a hint of cherry blossom fragrance that shouldn't be in the room, and there seemed to be a weak breeze blowing behind her.
But when he turned his head to observe vigilantly, Yongzhen found nothing.
Yongzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Is it an illusion caused by not getting enough rest?"
…
"Huh~"
Lu Xiao let out a guilty breath. Fortunately, the matter of opening the door and peeping was not exposed. He did not expect to meet Yong Zhen getting up and changing clothes.
"But...why did Yongzhen stay in the guest room assigned to me?"
With the enemy in front of him, Lu Xiao had no time to think about the answer to this question.
After confirming the ultra-high-concentration magic environment in Fairyland, Lu Xiao's mind flashed with multiple battle plans.
With the restriction on magic power lifted, Lu Xiao's fighting style is no longer limited to close combat.
The sixth sense suddenly issued a warning, the clouds and fog in front of Lu Xiao surged, and a strange-looking long-necked creature appeared in front of him through the thick fog.
It was a strange creature with a wooden body but a human face. Its neck was as long as the Yugamei tribe in the Palace of Origin, and its wooden head also grew into shapeless dragon horns. It held a hand in its slender hands.
The branch looks like a musical instrument with a long Xiao.
"An incompletely evolved dragon? A body made of wood and a human face?"
Lu Xiao looked at this strange and strange species with questions all over his mind. The Wood Dragon Man with a bitter and hateful expression on his face didn't seem to intend to attack Lu Xiao. He just held the Wood Xiao in his hand and looked aimlessly.
Wandering around.
Lu Xiao subconsciously stayed away from the Wood Dragon Man to temporarily observe the situation. More and more Wood Dragon Man with similar shapes appeared from the clouds and mist. They were swaying in groups without any desire to attack.
"Ahem!"
One of the Wooden Dragons suddenly bent over and started coughing, and large green poisonous mist spurted out from his mouth. The poisonous mist seemed to affect other nearby companions, and all the Wooden Dragons bent down and coughed in pain.
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Dragon cough? And it seems to be the most serious kind. Could it be that these wooden dragons are the legendary spirits of Ashina Mountains and Rivers whose power was absorbed by Sakura Dragon?"
