Chapter 212: Let's combine! Class leader! Transform into a giant!
The violent explosion instantly collapsed the entire passage, blocking the retreat route.
The hard crystal wall that was originally used to maintain the stability of the nest now became a roadblock for the Ant Queen and Gu Shaoxuan. If they wanted to clear a passage and chase after them again, it would inevitably take a lot of time. This time was enough for Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian to run far away.
Of course, that is normal circumstances.
The explosion not only hurt the Ant Queen and Gu Shaoxuan, but also affected Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian.
However, since the two were not in the center of the explosion and had already run some distance before the explosion, they did not suffer much damage.
But even so, the two were blown away by the surging air wave, and Ji Ruo even spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale - mainly due to the damage caused by his self-destructing shadow clone.
If it had not been for the critical moment, if Ji Ruo had put the two statues back into the Pantheon, he would have been hurt even more seriously - carrying the statues weighing thousands of kilograms, he would not be able to fly, and would have been hit by the aftermath of the explosion, and it would not be as simple as just spitting out blood.
"Ji Ruo, cough, are you okay?" Liang Shixian asked loudly with his head buzzing.
Ji Ruo looked at Liang Shixian in a daze, spitting out another mouthful of blood, and said, "Do you think I look okay?"
The aftereffects of Shadow's self-explosion were more serious than Ji Ruo had imagined. Not only had his energy and blood been consumed by more than half, his soul had also suffered a severe impact. He felt dizzy and was about to fall.
"Come on, I'll carry you."
"No, I'll just eat a fruit," Ji Ruo said, taking out two Shengsheng Fruits and handing one to Liang Shixian, saying, "When I have a chance, I'll go back to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts and ask the mountain god, Master Mu, if there are any spiritual fruits for the soul, and ask for a few hundred to eat."
"How many more hundred pills?" Liang Shixian was powerless to complain. He took the Shengshen Fruit and swallowed it. He and Ji Ruo supported each other and staggered forward. He sighed and said, "Ji Xiaoxiao is great. What a pity..."
"Squad leader, what a pity?"
Ji Xiaoxiao, who was the size of a thumb, poked her head out from between Ji Ruo's hair and asked curiously, "What is there to be sorry about?"
"?"
Liang Shixian was shocked: "You, you, you are not dead?!"
"It was my old man's shadow that was blown up, and it was my old man's soul that was hurt. Why should I die?" Ji Xiaoxiao lowered her head and looked at Ji Ruo, expectantly saying, "Old man, are you going to die? Die quickly, die quickly, die quickly, I want to change my name!"
Ji Ruo rolled his eyes and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I won't die for the time being."
Ji Xiaoxiao said with regret: "This is the most regrettable thing."
"You better save your breath. You've already blown it up to such a small size, yet you're still being stubborn."
Ji Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Hehe"
Ji Xiaoxiao, who was originally the size of a fist, became only the size of a thumb after his self-explosion.
Ji Ruo lowered his head and glanced at the shadow under his feet that was still fluctuating but never stable, and evaluated the ultimate moves of the "Shadow Martial Arts" in his mind.
The name of this move is "The Secret of Shadow: Awakening from the Three Lives of Dust". If it is fully performed, it can summon three shadow clones. These shadow clones have the same strength as the original body, or even stronger - because they are shadows, they can ignore most of the damage. The only one who will feel the pain is Ji Ruo himself, not the shadows.
However, in order to fully perform it, certain conditions must be met, that is, at a certain moment, the shadows under your feet must be three
If one of them is missing, it cannot be fully displayed.
The power of the shadow clone comes from the energy and blood that Ji Ruo stores in his shadow on a daily basis.
His shadow can store as much Qi and blood as his original body has. When he practices martial arts on a daily basis, he can save up the excess Qi and blood for emergency use.
Simply put, it means using your current strength to fight future fights.
Because it's a shadow, Ji Ruo wouldn't feel sad even if it exploded. It just takes time for the shadow to re-condense, and the shadow's 'death' will also cause a certain degree of impact on Ji Ruo's soul. However, compared to the destructive power it can cause, this impact can be ignored. He can recover by going back to sleep for a few times.
Moreover, if there is no Qi and blood stored in it, it will have no power even if it is summoned again.
Ji Ruo also discovered that the 'Shadow Martial Arts' can actually be called the 'Inner Demon Martial Arts'.
Shadow clones can be controlled by the inner demon. If there is no inner demon controlling them, the warrior must do two things at once. If a warrior is not familiar with this operation, after summoning the shadow clone, it would be considered good if he can use 50% to 60% of his full strength.
You deserve to be beaten.
"By the way, Ji Ruo, what kind of Kung Fu was that? Did you invent it yourself?"
"It's Shadow Martial Arts. If you want to learn it, squad leader, I'll teach you when we get out."
"Shadow Martial Arts?" Liang Shixian was surprised. He knew very well that if something could be named 'Martial Arts', it must not be a simple martial arts. It was a new martial arts system!
“You created this yourself?”
"Yeah." Ji Ruo nodded, without hiding anything: "I figured it out by stepping on shadows."
Liang Shixian: ""
Is the gap between people really that big?
They are both iron-clad martial artists. Ji Ruo has mastered the Iron Sand Palm, but he has not yet mastered the Iron Shirt.
"Let's not talk about this for now. The most urgent thing now is to get out first. I'm not sure how long the collapsed passage can hold them back." Before Ji Ruo could finish his words, a crooked white line suddenly appeared in his field of vision. Before Ji Ruo could react, he saw a group of black shadows rushing in front of him, and a large group of huge creatures covered with hideous exoskeletons roared and rushed towards Ji Ruo and the others.
Ji Ruo's expression changed: "Fuck! Soldier ants!"
Each of these soldier ants is over three meters tall, with their exoskeletons covered with spikes, arm armor as sharp as curved swords, and they are very outstanding, with each of them having the strength of about two stars - they are really ugly, but really strong!
Soldier Ants are the combat sequence of the Ant Tribe. They are usually responsible for fighting. Their own shapes are randomly grown in order to cause greater damage to the enemy, and their appearances are not uniform.
At this moment, the soldier ants received orders from the crazy Ant Queen to tear Ji Ruo and the other two to pieces.
The soldiers and ants are blocking the way in front, and Gu Shaoxuan and the ants behind may break through the collapsed passage at any time.
Now that Ji Ruo was injured and his vitality was more than half depleted, he would be in trouble if he encountered these soldiers.
Liang Shixian weighed the options, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Finally, it's my turn!"
Just as he was about to practice his internal energy, Ji Ruo pulled him and he staggered.
"What are you doing! These guys can lift things that are hundreds of times their own weight, and you still want to compete with them in strength? Go away!"
"Ji Ruo, stop making trouble. In this situation, one person must stay behind, otherwise none of us can leave!"
"Shut up! Follow me, I'll do whatever I say!"
Ji Ruo was tense. At this moment, the white lines in his field of vision were changing rapidly, and the speed at which the 'way out' changed was so fast that even Ji Ruo could not react.
But if you are only looking for short-distance evasion, it is barely OK.
Then, in Liang Shixian's surprised eyes, Ji Ruo pulled him and used the Step Forward Chopping Technique to continuously move through the gaps between the soldier ants.
forward, backward, sideways, step forward
Ji Ruo's control of timing is so perfect that it is a pleasure to watch!
It was clearly just the simplest step, and clearly dozens of arm blades were slashing down above his head almost at the same time, but Ji Ruo always found the right moment and dodged at the last moment.
In this passage, which seemed a little cramped and crowded due to the arrival of dozens of soldier ants, it was like a stage play was being performed!
Dozens of soldier ants provided the soundtrack for Ji Ruo's attack with angry roars and danced with him using ferocious killing moves!
Absurd, yet elegant!
Liang Shixian looked at Ji Ruo's serious profile and suddenly felt dazed.
"So handsome"
He made up his mind that if he could control the rhythm of the battle to perfection, he must learn it!
Suddenly, he noticed that Ji Ruo's lips were trembling, as if he was muttering something in a low voice.
Liang Shixian was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ji Ruo wanted to say something to him, so he quickly tilted his ear, barely filtering out the roars of the soldiers, and vaguely heard what Ji Ruo was muttering:
"I keep spinning and jumping. I can't see you in the dust. I'm intoxicated. I keep spinning and jumping ...'m in the summer night without snow."
Liang Shixian: “???”
What the hell is this time? Are you still in the mood to sing?!
Although he secretly complained in his heart, Liang Shixian did not dare to relax and followed Ji Ruo's footsteps closely.
The two had already left the way they came. The ant trails in this underground nest were interconnected, and Ji Ruo had no chance to ask for directions. The two had already lost their way.
[A Glimmer of Intuition] can only find a glimmer of hope. Even if there is no hope of survival, [A Glimmer of Intuition] can still force Ji Ruo to find a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, in the general direction, they are still advancing towards the upper level.
The soldier ants missed their targets one after another and roared in anger. Their attacks became more chaotic and intensive, and the "life" in Ji Ruo's eyes became increasingly slim.
Finally, Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian were forced into a relatively spacious space.
An annoying buzzing sound sounded above his head. Liang Shixian looked up and was horrified.
"Ji Ruo! This is where the female ants live!"
Female ants are queen candidates within the ant family. They have wings and are fertile females after mating. They can also evolve into new queens after losing their wings after mating!
In short, it can fly, has a high status, and is quite powerful.
Ji Ruo was slightly distracted and had to rely on the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art to withstand seven or eight attacks. The terrifying force directly chopped Ji Ruo away, and the protective qi of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art was almost broken.
The female ant flew over, and her flying and dancing were unexpectedly agile. Ji had no support and was hit continuously.
The protective qi finally shattered, and wounds began to appear on Ji Ruo's body.
Fortunately, he had taken a Shengshen Fruit before, and a lot of the medicinal power remained. At this moment, he was injured and recovering at the same time. The only thing that was damaged was the clothes given to him by the villagers of Babaozhai.
Of course, the clothes were inevitably stained with a lot of blood at this moment, which looked very miserable.
"Ji Ruo!"
Liang Shixian cried out in surprise, put his hands across his chest, lowered his head and rushed towards Ji Ruochong.
"Calm down, squad leader, I'm fine, don't be impulsive!"
Because the space was wide, more and more soldier ants and female ants came to surround and kill the two of them.
The two of them fought back while getting closer. They finally reunited, but they were already forced into a corner. The sky and the ground were full of enemies!
Ji Ruo no longer cared about being respected, he took out a holy statue and smashed it in front of him. The golden light flashed, and the strong protective will of the martial saint statue shook slightly, and the attack of the ant swarm was paused.
The two of them also got a moment to breathe.
But that’s all. These white ants have never eaten humans, and the statue will not actively fight back.
After a moment, the ending would not change. Before the two died and before the white ants consumed their flesh and blood, the statue would no longer react.
Ji Ruo kept looking around, his expression becoming more and more solemn - the portal of the Universal Mirror did not appear instantly, and opening the portal required a large amount of energy and blood. Ji Ruo was now too exhausted, and was not sure how long the portal could last after it was opened, and whether it could send both of them out.
What should I do if the portal closes halfway through the transmission?
Liang Shixian didn't consume much, but he couldn't use the Pantheon either!
There is no such thing as recognizing a master in fantasy creations, but the Omni-Mirror has become a collection in Ji Ruo's collection of cards, which is equivalent to recognizing Ji Ruo as the master. Except for Ji Ruo and the person who signed a master-servant contract with Ji Ruo, no one else can use the Omni-Mirror.
The Education Department was able to use it because the fragment was originally used by them for the military exam. It was in their hands from the beginning, and Ji Ruo did not collect it in the collection later.
Chen Mo left 99% of his strength in the First Martial Arts School, and Ji Xiaoxiao also lost most of his strength due to his previous self-explosion.
At this moment, it's a dead end.
If you keep turning your head, you will try to find a reliable way out.
However, as the ant swarm gradually realized that the statue would not actively harm them, they began to slowly approach, their ferocious mouthparts kept opening and closing, making a "crackling" sound that made people shudder.
Therefore, the "white line of vitality" in Ji Ruo's eyes became thinner and thinner, almost disappearing.
Liang Shixian leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
He was well aware of the situation the two were in, and also knew why the icon had no reaction.
He is hesitating
"Plan, plan"
Suddenly, Liang Shixian said in a trembling voice: "Wait a minute, I will rush out and let them eat me, which will trigger the protective ability of the holy statue. You take the opportunity to run away quickly."
As he spoke, Liang Shixian's voice began to sob: "If you have a chance, go back and tell my parents not to tell the truth. It would be very ugly to be eaten. Please help me take care of them in the future."
He had already prepared to die, but in order to have the entire ant colony killed by the Holy Statue and to leave precious time for evacuation, Liang Shixian had to ensure that every white ant could eat him.
That is to say, he must remain alive during this process.
Liang Shixian was terrified just thinking about the scene of watching himself being eaten piece by piece.
But no matter how afraid you are, there are some things that you have to do.
Ji Ruo's talent is so extraordinary that it is much better for him to be alive than for him to be alive.
Ji Ruo seemed not to hear what Liang Shixian said. He kept looking around, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
There is definitely a chance, but it may be so subtle that Ji Ruo accidentally overlooked it.
Seeing that Ji Ruo didn't say anything, Liang Shixian sniffed, wiped away his tears fiercely, put his arms down, and his tear-stained face was full of determination.
"Ji Ruo, kill more demons in the future to avenge me! If this is the end, I will accept it calmly!"
Liang Shixian let out a low growl and prepared to rush out.
The white cat hidden in Ji Ruo's body almost rushed out. She was struggling for a long time, but she couldn't bear to watch her master and the very responsible squad leader die.
She was going to expose herself!
"etc!"
Ji Ruo suddenly grabbed Liang Shixian, and at the same time stopped the white cat in his body from moving.
Ji Ruo saw hope!
"Squad leader, there will be a time for you to sacrifice yourself, but believe me, it's not now."
Ji Ruo stared at the back of Liang Shixian's neck.
[First-hand intuition] The 'white line of vitality' constructed in his vision stayed and locked on the back of Liang Shixian's neck!
The white line has become as thin as a hair, and it seems that it will disappear in the next second, but it is unexpectedly strong.
Ji Ruo's mind raced, wondering why the "vitality" appeared there.
Until he noticed a new achievement he had recently discovered.
Ji Ruo's eyes lit up.
"Squad leader, let's unite!"
"?"
Liang Shixian still had tears on his face, his face suddenly turned red, he stammered: "What if we were both men?"
Ji Ruo, however, acted as if he hadn't heard anything and said excitedly, "Come on, unite and kill them!"
The ant swarm on the other side of the statue had overcome its fear of the statue and rushed towards the two again with a roar.
Liang Shixian was horrified, regretful, annoyed, and reminiscent, but finally relieved.
Ji Ruo ignored them and suddenly jumped up, riding on Liang Shixian's neck, and shouted: "Squad leader, you form the torso and arms! I will form the head!"
Liang Shixian: “?”
Is it such a combination?
Liang Shixian was furious. You're about to die, and you still have the mind to ride a horse and fight!
However--
[Congratulations to the host for triggering the advanced functional achievement: combined transformation! ]
[Ability obtained: Giant Fusion (When certain conditions are met, you can merge with those with whom you have a deep bond. There is no upper limit to the number of fusions you can perform. Basic qualities are stacked, body size is doubled, energy is shared, and martial arts are universal!
Note: The fusion will focus on the head, and the image after fusion will be customized.
Combination duration: three minutes of combination. )】
[Note: Assemble the torso and arms! I will assemble the head! ]
【Note: Team transformation! 】
The golden-red light flashed, Ji Ruo rode on Liang Shixian's shoulders, the two of them had their physical qualities combined, and their qi and blood flowed smoothly!
A giant nearly three meters tall rose from the ground.
This giant has a smooth body, blue upper body, red lower body, and two horns on its head.
Its head is extremely simplified, without any unnecessary decorations, its face is stiff, its expression cannot change, and its mouth corners are slightly raised with a hint of a smile.
Ji Xiaoxiao, who was the size of a thumb, sat on the giant's head, holding up two horns, with a cloud of black mist floating around him. He felt both excited and thrilled.
With the supply of qi and blood from Liang Shixian, Ji Ruo's qi and blood were replenished.
Although this new body after the fusion is not in its prime, but the remaining qi and blood of Ji Ruo, plus Liang Shixian's own qi and blood, the total amount is not much less than that of Ji Ruo's full body in its prime.
Not only that, the basic physical qualities are also enhanced!
All in all, Ji Ruo is very satisfied with the new form.
This wave can be called an epic enhancement!
Inside the giant's body, Liang Shixian was carrying Ji Ruo, looking confused.
"Ji Ruo, what kind of trick is this?!"
"A way to step on ants!"
Ji Ruo laughed loudly, and faced the swords that were coming at him from the soldiers, he straightened his chest and did not dodge or evade.
Ji Xiaoxiao passionately explained: "Look, I am not bad!"
'clang clang clang'
Sparks flew everywhere, but did not hurt Ji Ruo at all.
"You've been beating me for so long, it's time for me to fight back." Ji Ruo grinned inside the giant.
He controlled the giant and raised his hand to grab it: "My turn! Draw a card!"
A card suddenly appeared in Ji Ruo's hand.
On the card, there were two crossed branches, one looked like a sword and the other looked like a knife.
The card was used, he put his palms together, slowly pulled them apart, and pulled out the two wooden sticks from the card.
The wooden stick automatically adapted to Ji Ruo's body shape. Although it was made of wood, it also had a sharp edge.
Ji Ruo raised his hand to push away a soldier ant, and then -
The wooden stick chops out, the sword and the knife are both invincible!
The sword energy and knife light visible to the naked eye merged into one, spreading wildly outward in a ring shape.
"Kakaka"
The soldier ant that was chopped by the blade had deep cuts on its ferocious exoskeleton, and its hard blade arm was almost cut off directly!
Even the soldier ants can't resist them, and the female ants can't even block them. If they are touched, they will die, and if they are touched, they will die!
"die!"
Ji Ruo roared, his blood surging, and he rushed forward with a sword in hand. An abstract sharp dragon head composed of sword light and sword energy wrapped around Ji Ruo's body, clearing the way for him!
He did not get carried away and continued to advance to the upper level.
The fusion time is only six minutes, and the exit is on the ground.
Ji Xiaoxiao explained excitedly: "Death Ant, how about this set of upward thrust, air-breaking, sword-drawing, and connecting with the fierce dragon-breaking and air-breaking moves? You can't catch it, right? Hahahahaha!"
"Blocking the way? Look at me, A, then W, then outer circle Q! E to slow down! A, then Noxus - guillotine!"
"Ha! Fun!"
Although Liang Shixian didn't know what means Ji Ruo used, as a survivor, he was excited by Ji Xiaoxiao's passionate explanation and Ji Ruo's ferocity.
"Ji Ruo! I want to change too! Can you let me change next time? It looks quite fun..."
A dead end game somehow turned into a game...
