Enforce the intense heat can make the user enter the "intense heat" state, doubling the power, increasing stamina and agility by 50%, and the duration is half as short as the normal intense heat period.
The Burning Blood Technique converts half of the HP into power, with a ratio of 10:1. That means Aiman's maximum HP now is only 1500, and his power increases by 150.
The Earthquake Technique causes the earth dragon to experience a few seconds of dizziness.
The Lightning Attachment Technique attaches a lightning spell to the axe.
The Thunder God's Thousand Slash is the true killing move!
Aiman suddenly flew up two meters high, with countless lightning bolts wrapped around the war axe, crackling loudly, with the power of thunder, striking the back of the earth dragon's neck heavily.
A deafening scraping sound rang out, the scales on the earth dragon's back were cut and splattered with countless sparks, in an instant, pieces of scales were flipped open, revealing the dark purple flesh of the earth dragon.
The earth dragon let out a deafening roar, the entire cave echoed with the sound, almost making me faint.
But Aiman's huge axe did not pause for a moment, still like a sudden rain, striking the earth dragon - -600, -600, -1000, -600... A series of numbers flashed from the earth dragon's body, within ten seconds, Aiman chopped down at least fifty axes!
The Thunder God's Thousand Slash, could it really stop after a thousand slashes!
The earth dragon changed from rage to fear, its body twisted rapidly, exerting all its strength to avoid the huge axe, but Aiman's axe and body were combined, like an appendage that never leaves the earth dragon's body.
I suddenly woke up, now Aiman was only temporarily in an advantage, as long as his intense heat state ended and he entered a weak state, losing half of his HP, then he would be doomed.
Aiman was only using this last move to protect me.
I continued climbing towards the top of the gem mountain, while shouting: "Aiman, you are ready to run away, I'm not dead, it's not serious!"
My hand finally reached the blue stone, an excitement that could not be suppressed welled up inside me.
The earth dragon had fallen into a frenzy. If it did not dodge Aiman's attack, it might be chopped in two by the huge axe. If it dodged, it could not prevent me from getting the blue stone. "Self-preservation" and "protecting the treasure" two instructions conflicted in its brain, and electric sparks formed by data streams spread all over its body.
The blue stone finally fell into my pocket, almost simultaneously, the light in the cave dimmed, as if from day to night.
Even without this gem's light, the cave should not be so dark. Suddenly, I felt a strong oppressive feeling coming from behind.
The earth dragon's voice turned into thunder, making people's chests feel constricted. The cave simultaneously fell into a dizzying vibration, the dust in the air spread in waves, everything indicated that something big was happening. I quickly turned my head and looked at the earth dragon.
The earth dragon, evolved!
From the smooth top of the earth dragon, two meat balls began to bulge, from its body, four soft bone-like things slowly grew. The scales that Aiman had shattered instantly healed and gradually formed harder and metallic-looking scales.
The axe of Aiman continued to strike the scales, not cutting through, this time not even a spark was splashed out. At this moment, the platinum war axe suddenly turned into white light, disappearing from Aiman's hand!
The durability of the war axe finally exhausted, now we had no chance at all.
I shouted at Aiman: "You run away quickly, don't worry about me, I can be resurrected after death!"
I don't know if I truly cared about Aiman, or was heartbroken over the gold coins I invested in him. Anyway, what I most wanted now was for Aiman to escape.
The earth dragon had evolved into shape, now its name had become "Dark Dragon"!
Aiman remained silent, took out a golden war axe, and continued to slash the dark dragon, but only saw -10, -11 characters continuously emerging. In a state of intense rage and burning passion, he could only deal this little damage to the dark dragon, and couldn't even make it feel anything.
The dark dragon's gaze focused, staring at me. Suddenly, its large mouth opened, and a black light ball emerged from its mouth. The dark dragon took a deep breath, and its powerful气势 pressed me against the gem mountain, preventing me from moving at all. One can imagine how powerful this light ball would be.
I closed my eyes. The turtle had been summoned back to the pet space by me, and the Priest's outfit was no longer an option to take off. Wearing it on me, the chance of falling was much higher. Just let it fall, there's nothing I can do.
A strong storm blew towards me. It was the wind carried by the light ball. But suddenly, I felt the wind stop. When I opened my eyes, a tall figure blocked in front of me.
Aiman, using his body to block me, braced himself against the light ball directly.
The Golden War Axe emitted a strong glow. It was because Aiman had infused his own power into it. But in just two seconds, the axe transformed, turning into white light!
Aiman's entire equipment was shattered by the light ball in the next moment. The powerful force pushed Aiman back step by step, and his skin began to peel off in pieces, his muscles cracking, and bones making grating sounds.
I was stunned. Aiman, you're just a hired thug I paid for. Why risk your life to save me?
I opened my mouth and said lastly: "Aiman, you... go away..."
Aiman suddenly turned around, using the armor on his back to continue bracing against the light ball, with a face covered in blood, roaring at me: "Don't keep insulting my dignity. As a mercenary, there's no reason to let my employer lose their life!"
I stared at him blankly. Although this face's expression wasn't rich, perhaps all his words and emotions were programmed. But I felt everything was so real. In reality, if I could make such a friend, it would be my lifelong fortune.
My body still couldn't move. Watching Aiman's bloody hands grab me in the chest, I shouted: "Spear!"
With a whoosh, I felt my head spinning. I flew up, with a long arc, passing over the dark dragon's body and falling towards the entrance of the cave.
The strong force pushed my head so hard that it was about to be torn apart by the air. I quickly summoned the turtle again, attaching it to the shield to protect my head. With a loud crash, I didn't hit the cave wall but the ground. I was actually thrown out of the cave by Aiman's throw. What an accurate and powerful throw!
My health dropped by half. The turtle whimpered. I didn't care about the pain and jumped up, turning to look. I saw Aiman's body being shattered into pieces by the light ball.
My mind suddenly went blank. I was running towards the outside of the cave instinctively. Behind me, there was the whistling wind. Another light ball was chasing after it? But I finally managed to escape the cave in the last leap.
The light ball exploded behind me. The aftershock didn't hurt me. It seems that there is still a barrier between the two layers. This barrier also restricts the monsters in each layer from crossing over.
The third layer of the cave was trembling violently. I didn't know how the dark dragon below was now so violent. I almost doubted that the entire Blue Jade Mountain was about to collapse.
My body was also trembling. It wasn't fear. It was an indescribable feeling. Because of Aiman's death.
If someone said now I was heartbroken because I lost several hundred gold coins, I would fight with him. If someone said I was angry because I lost a powerful and cheap bodyguard, I would also be furious. But if it was said that I felt sorry for Aiman, I couldn't accept it.
Is my heart really so weak? When did I become so sentimental? Where did the quality of professional players go?
Just an NPC? Just a pile of data? Even when one of my real-life friends died in a car accident, I didn't feel sad at all.
I couldn't continue to dwell in regret and pain because the dark demons snakes nearby had already launched an attack on me.
Now we can't call them dark demons snakes anymore. These monsters have evolved along with the dragon and have become 45-level "Yongming Yu" monsters, capable of long-range attacks.
Two streams of black sand hit me, instantly turning me into a poisoned state. I hurriedly backed away, blocking the black sand with my shield while retaliating with spells.
The Yongming Yu seemed to sense some kind of information from the underground dragon and all swam towards my direction. Soon, I was surrounded by them, and behind me, it was the cave wall, with nowhere to retreat.
I took the antidote, but soon I was poisoned again. The Shepherd's outfit couldn't stop the toxin. How frustrating! Usually, the antidote I brought for level-up training wasn't much, usually a bundle. Today, it seemed not enough.
Oh, I don't want to be poisoned to death.
The Falling Rock Spell was thrown desperately in front of me. In an instant, it piled up into a rock formation blocking the snake group. However, the substance formed by the spell could only last for a short time. While I was taking blue medicine, the rock formation disappeared.
I used the fire-spewing trick again. Inspired by the time I fought the Bullhead God, now I always bring a lot of oil and firewood for emergencies.
However, although snakes are afraid of fire, these 45-level monsters naturally have little effect from fire, only serving as a deterrent.
Fortunately, I have many tricks. I blew the flute, and the snake group began to sway. But they still didn't give up attacking. So, I had to use the "Instrument Performance Method" to act on the ground again, which finally made the snake group stop.
Over and over again, I played and stomped, my fatigue level rising rapidly. Sweat poured out all over my body. I don't know how long it was, but my performance skill had improved to the intermediate first level by half of the experience. Finally, my comrades logged in.
The Tiger King and his team saw my situation and the monster's mutation, and they were also greatly shocked. They rushed over to rescue me.
The 45-level monsters, with poison attacks, although the six of them were not bad in strength, it was extremely difficult to kill them. I had to continue blowing the flute.
When my comrades finally reached me, I couldn't hold on anymore. I didn't say hello to them and took out the steel bed, fell asleep. In my ears, I could hear everyone cursing me. Oh, I don't care so much.
After listening to the music for a while, the system prompted: "There is an all-server announcement, please check."
I clicked to open it and found it was about the information of the Fantasy Divine God.
"Due to the increasing number of people accepting the mission of the Wanted Player, Fantasy Divine God, but most people don't understand the strength of this wanted criminal, causing unnecessary sacrifices. Currently, hundreds of players involved in the pursuit have died. Therefore, the King has decided to release the information of this wanted criminal."
"The Fantasy Divine God, level 56, obtained the 'Fire Mage' transformation in the 30-level career change. The power of fire spells has increased by 20%, and there is a higher chance of learning advanced fire spells. Due to triggering the SSS-level hidden mission, a phoenix egg was obtained. Currently, its pet phoenix is level 50."
"The Fantasy Divine God has all precious-level equipment. Three of them increase the speed of spell casting, with a total effect of: increasing the speed of spell casting by 110%. Two increase the speed of spell recovery, totaling a 50% increase. One equipment reduces abnormal states (daze, debilitation, seal, etc.) by 40%..."
"The Fantasy Divine God has completed an SSS-level hidden mission and obtained the 'Space Transfer' magic. Also completed an S-level hidden mission, obtaining an additional 1000 storage space treasure..."
"The player's life occupation 'Cook' has been trained to the ultimate level, and invented a special food to eliminate fatigue and hunger..."
"At present, the Fantasy Divine God is on the run. He has forcibly entered three villages and robbed pharmacies, and destroyed many buildings, killing hundreds of players and NPCs in the village." The king issued an order: "Local players should act within their capabilities and must not risk their lives recklessly. However, the NPC combatants must fight to the end; otherwise, they will be considered guilty."
"Due to the death of a 60-level officer dispatched by the Lord of Sunset City for the pursuit mission, two 70-level officers have been re-assigned for the pursuit. No matter who it is, once the mythical god of magic is discovered, the information must be immediately transmitted to 'Sunset Warrior 008' and 'Sunset Knight 052'."
