Chapter 494 Lancer Lucky E, This is Tradition
"Mom, mom, what weapon should I learn?"
"Learn sword skills like your father. The sword is the coolest weapon in the world."
"Dad, what weapon should I learn?"
"Anyway, just don't learn the sword. If you want to learn, learn the biggest, most powerful, and most domineering weapon. Go to the warehouse and pick any one. I can find a teacher for you!"
"Well this spear is big and heavy, just like dad said, I want to learn this!"
Just like that, little Yuffie's life was ruined.
The last scene in her vision stopped at the moment before she was devoured by the insect eggs. Yufei's consciousness seemed to be drifting aimlessly on the rough sea, sometimes submerged by the sea water and sometimes pushed to the surface, repeating this over and over again, making her almost dizzy.
An inexplicable external force pushed her into the water several times, trying to suffocate her, but she relied on her own will to stay awake and was unwilling to fall into a coma at all costs.
Seeing that the hard force didn't work, the inexplicable force began to use a soft force, allowing her to see some scenes that she didn't want to see.
That was the conversation that took place when she and her marksmanship teacher first met.
"Four hundred and sixty-three years ago, a hero known as the Spear Hero defeated the Demon King. However, he was stabbed in the back by his teammates after the battle because he coveted and harassed his teammates' bird pets. Before his death, he left behind a book on the Hero's Spearmanship that everyone can learn, which laid the foundation for the current spearmanship system."
"Three hundred and eighty-one years ago, the legendary master "Magic Spear" known as the Spear Saint fought against the Demon King on the top of a mountain. During the all-out fight, he was hit on the head by a piece of debris that flew by by chance, and his skills were broken and he was seriously injured. He passed away after leaving behind a complete spear teaching system."
"Two hundred and eighty-eight years ago, the fifth generation Spear Saint "Black Wood" died of food poisoning after defeating the Demon King. His most outstanding contribution was the thirteen divisions of exquisite spear techniques, and he trained a large number of teaching talents."
"One hundred and sixty years ago, seven whimsical magicians launched an evil war ritual. Each of them summoned the spirit of a historical hero to participate in the battle. The spirit of the Spear Hero was summoned and not only defeated the other six magicians but also greatly improved the spearmanship of the time."
"It's a pity that this shameful match was discovered by the authorities when he was about to win. In order to evade sanctions, the magician who summoned the Gun Hero ordered him to commit suicide. The magician escaped and has not been caught until now."
"So, teacher, what do you want to say?" At this time, the trembling voice of little Youfei, who was still a child at that time, was heard.
"What I want to say is that the spear techniques you have learned now are the result of the hard work of our predecessors. You must learn them well and pass on the fine traditions of spear masters."
"Oh my, oh my, is it too late for me to learn something else now?"
Judging from Yuffie's current state, it was probably too late to give an answer then.
At that time, little Youfei had a big question - what does the fine tradition of a marksman refer to?
Bad luck! ?
Otherwise, how could the Spear Saint have had five generations in just one hundred years!
But with the idea that once you make a decision, you must not give up halfway, she still insisted on practicing shooting until now. From being worried about when she would get unlucky in the beginning to finding that her life was smooth sailing and nothing had happened, she gradually felt relieved.
It's possible that the rumor that people who play with spears are unlucky is actually a rumor.
Then when she came to Red, the series of events she encountered made her slowly recall the rumor. Why did it seem like everything had been going wrong since she came to this land?
The same feeling that always comes back made him see strange things, which indirectly led to him being infected by parasites, and then he was beaten up by Maria, and now he has been swallowed by insect eggs.
(Expletive) Is the tradition of not being a good marksman going to come true on me today?
As soon as she thought of this, the originally hard wall of her heart was broken.
The external force immediately seized the opportunity and poured into her body. Then, her consciousness was completely taken over by darkness.
Before she completely lost consciousness, she saw a big, dirty, twisted insect grinning at her. Was that the prototype of the so-called Insect King?
This is obviously a very horrifying scene, enough to give people nightmares.
However, from Yufei's perspective, she seemed to see something that made the horror atmosphere disappear.
The big bug didn't notice that several people who were "smiling" at it gradually appeared behind it.
Weird thing?
————————————
It seemed that due to premature birth, the Insect King's body was unstable and unable to form a fixed shape.
So it simply used Yufei in its body as the original body and transformed a body for itself.
There was no other change on Yufei's head except that the eyes turned into insect-like compound eyes, at most some evil aura was added.
However, the body is covered with a thick layer of criss-cross exoskeleton, which makes it look ferocious and scary, while the body seems too big and the head is too small. However, the figure looks good, with a kind of strange beauty, as if it came out of a comic book.
The monstrous demonic energy exploded in all directions with it as the center. The closer parasites were directly crushed into powder. All the insects stopped moving, looked at the king with reverence, and performed gestures of worship.
Is there any hope for this situation?
"This guy"
The Fran sword in Dal's hand seemed to be shaking slightly. Although the opponent was not the Abyss, his powerful strength also made people want to fight.
I want to chop it!
But Dal is not Miyamoto Musashi. He suppressed the urge to fight and looked at the opponent carefully. The oppressive feeling brought to him by the Insect King was far greater than that brought to him by Doslepo, the captain of the demon army he met in Val City. This powerful momentum was close to that of the Demon King and was even rising!
"." Dahl was silent for a moment, his expression gradually changed, from serious to like a strong king, mainly because.
If you think about it this way, it seems that the Insect King is not that strong?
On the way here, he had imagined the true strength of various enemy leaders and had prepared countless response plans, including the best and the worst, but he did not expect that the only plan he could use in reality was an ordinary and mediocre one.
That's a normal fight.
Whether one is strong or not depends on the object of comparison. Unfortunately, what Dal used to compare with the Insect King were the monsters in the Sen Dungeon.
He compared all the bosses with the Insect King, starting from the Nameless King and moving down, and finally the Insect King was classified by him in the same category as the Death Ritual Bird. It was a boss in the Sion dungeon that was somewhat powerful but had little presence, mainly because it was not very popular and no one mentioned it, but its strength was still online.
Dahl didn't dare to say that he could defeat the opponent alone, but if he was given a standard team of adventurers, he really dared to give it a try!
This was considered a good thing he had seen, and his psychological threshold was raised a lot.
The Insect King suddenly turned around and glared at Dal. It seemed to sense that it was being looked down upon, and immediately locked onto this ignorant human.
But at this moment, Vann on the side roared, instantly attracting the Insect King's attention.
The body that had swelled due to the beast transformation suddenly bounced up, and the shadow covered the Insect King. He looked down at the opponent from top to bottom, and swung down with his claws and meat saw!
"when--"
A sound like steel colliding was heard, and the Insect King took out Yufei's spear at some point and blocked his attack steadily!
A phantom flashed by, and the Insect King stabbed out seven or eight times in an instant. Each shot was exquisite, exactly the same fighting style as Yufei himself.
And it significantly strengthened Yufei in all aspects on the basis of Yufei, and immediately pierced several bloody holes in Fann's body!
The pain seemed insignificant to the latter. He did not dodge at all, but grabbed the opponent wildly, followed by a fatal slash.
But the Insect King dodged all of them one by one. Although his body was bigger than Yufei, his movements were much more agile. While dodging, he left countless wounds on Fann that could not be ignored!
With the next blow, Vann was hit hard and fell from mid-air.
A smile appeared on the Insect King's face, and he was obviously satisfied with the strength of this body.
The beastly Vann can already serve as an elite monster in the Senn dungeon and can be defeated effortlessly. Its strength must be quite impressive.
But the smile just appeared for a moment, and it suddenly raised its hand and instantly grabbed the meat saw that was thrown at it.
Even though it was caught, the sharp teeth of the meat saw still penetrated the exoskeleton and embedded deeply into its palm. A few traces of blood slowly flowed down. It was injured!
There was some anger in its eyes, and it looked in the direction where the meat saw was flying. At this moment, Fann appeared in front of him again, and still smashed down with his hands transformed into claws. He was so badly injured, but he still got up immediately! ? Was it because he forgot the pain after transforming into a beast, or was it because of his strong will?
The Insect King would not think about these things. He just wanted this guy to lie down quickly so that he could show his majesty. The spear flashed with a terrifying light, and an attack that was enough to blow up the mountain was about to be launched. The pressure of the starting posture made Vann's movements stiff.
The surging fighting spirit stabbed out with the tip of the gun. If this attack hit the target, Father Gascoigne would lose half his life!
But just as the attack hit Vann's shoulder, a black shadow flashed by, and Vann disappeared. The Insect King's attack missed and hit the rock wall in the distance.
"Boom boom"
Large chunks of broken rock fell, and the Insect King quickly locked onto Vann's direction.
Looking again, I saw Dahl trying to grab Vann and beating him with punch after punch.
An internal conflict?
No, he was just trying to knock Vann unconscious, but found that the other party was unexpectedly resistant to blows.
Seeing the Insect King looking at him, he immediately increased his strength and punched Fann, causing him to fall into a coma temporarily.
The fighting spirit of the spear followed one after another. Dal had thrown Vann far away, then rolled over and barely avoided the attack. He squeezed the magic prop in his arms, and a wolf howl that could be clearly heard throughout the city resounded throughout the capital. He was trying to wave his hands.
In fact, there was no need for him to fight the Insect King here alone, not to mention that the other party seemed to be occupying the body of his teacher Gapar's daughter, which made it a little difficult for him to judge the right measure to take action.
Saving Vann would mean the mission is accomplished. The reason why he was knocked unconscious was to prevent him from going berserk and becoming an irreversible beast.
The moment the wolf howls of the assembled Fran guards were heard, the Insect King sensed something. His figure disappeared and instantly reappeared in front of Dal, and his spear seemed to turn into hundreds of afterimages and stabbed towards him.
Dal immediately activated his wolf blood, dodging the attack with his signature wolf jump while counterattacking. The Insect King reacted quickly, and the two powerful attacks collided at this moment.
A deafening collision sound was heard, and the Insect King took two steps back, his arm slightly numb, while Dal flew backwards and almost hit the rock wall. Fortunately, he stabilized his body in the middle. Even so, he still spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment he realized that although the Insect King's posture was not as good as those leaders he had seen before, his strength was indeed strong!
"I was wrong."
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and drank several bottles of potion, but he didn't have time to perform his usual tricks before the Insect King appeared before him.
At this point, he could only delay the attack! He made up his mind to wait until his teammates gathered before launching a counterattack. It shouldn't take long for everyone to arrive.
However, he seemed to have underestimated the strength of the Insect King and the speed at which his teammates could gather.
The Insect King perfectly inherited and greatly enhanced Yuffie's strength, and on this basis, it even used a variety of moves that Yuffie had never used before!
As a race that has put all its talents into parasitism, the strength of the Insect King may not be strong, but it has the memories of all those parasitized by the insects. In other words, as long as they have been parasitized by insects, all their skills and even combat experience will be acquired by the Insect King and perfectly applied in actual combat!
That’s not all. When certain conditions are met, the Insect King can change bodies frequently. Each change can transfer the strength of the previous body to the next one. The more it changes bodies, the stronger it becomes!
This is a creature with a very high growth potential.
Although the two people present do not meet its conditions for changing bodies, with Yufei's hard power, it can still control the whole situation.
Perhaps it didn't take more than ten minutes before Dahl was no longer able to fight back and had many wounds all over his body.
The Insect King seemed to have no repeated moves, and it was impossible to defend against it in a battle. Coupled with its powerful strength, the slightest mistake would result in serious injury. Dal had already used up all the potions in his body at this moment.
"Why are you all so slow?" He stared at the leisurely figure of the Insect King and felt very troubled. Logically, the Fran guards should have gathered by now. What made them late?
Seeing the Insect King launching the final attack, he was ready to fight for his life and was prepared to be seriously injured again. No, he would definitely be seriously injured!
"drink!"
A dull roar was heard, and the Insect King that was about to hit him was suddenly knocked away and fell into a pile of rubble nearby.
Before Dahl could even rejoice, his eyes widened, because it was Vann who knocked it away. How did this guy wake up so quickly?
The opponent rushed forward like a violent Hulk and couldn't be stopped.
"return!"
Dal gritted his teeth and hurried after him. He couldn't let Vann continue fighting. Who knows what the consequences would be.
The Insect King had just climbed up from the rubble when Vann suddenly rushed to his face, swung his big hand with great force, and slapped Yufei on the face. The huge force made it stunned for a moment.
Why does it feel like the other person has become stronger?
It immediately punched back, but Vann just took a step back and punched back again. The two sides fought each other vigorously!
But Dahl noticed something different, because Vann had his eyes closed and could not feel any conscious awareness.
He didn't wake up at all, but his strong fighting consciousness made his body move on its own?
I haven't seen such a ruthless person for a long time!
In a trance, there seemed to be some mysterious emblem flashing across Vann's body. What was even more puzzling was that his animal nature seemed to have been restrained a lot, but he was still able to fight with the Insect King in terms of strength?
Without having time to think about what was going on, Dal immediately joined the battle and chopped off large pieces of the exoskeleton with his greatsword Efrain!
It is impossible to stop Vann, so let the battle end quickly. Vann in this state is the best restraining party. He can only restrain the actions of the Insect King, and Dal will be able to cause more damage.
The Insect King didn't quite understand the situation and was stunned for a moment by Vann's sudden explosion.
The two of them attacked the enemy selflessly. The Insect King suffered more and more injuries and had forgotten to calculate the time.
Dahl felt hope of victory, but at this moment, he saw Vann open his eyes.
His eyes were clear yet confused, as if he was wondering who he was and what he was doing here. His pure eyes were incompatible with his ferocious animal fur.
The moment he woke up, the flashing emblem on his body disappeared immediately, and the strength he had gained dropped sharply.
“Puff——”
The spear pierced through his body and nailed him to the rock wall. He couldn't stop coughing up blood and his condition quickly weakened.
So it was some kind of explosive state just now? Dahl's sword slashed out and he didn't have time to retract it. The insect king, who was no longer restrained, quickly hit his body and sent him flying backwards.
"ah!"
The Insect King let out an angry roar, and its broken exoskeleton quickly recovered. This time it was really angry!
His body suddenly became larger and more ferocious. After a few encounters, Dal was beaten back again. His injuries were even more serious and he could only stand up with the help of a big sword.
The effect of the wolf blood is about to end. If this continues, he will have no power to fight back.
Where on earth did everyone go!
Looking at the Insect King rushing towards him like Javier's moving castle, Dal, who was no longer able to dodge, gritted his teeth and raised his weapon with his last bit of strength.
"Stella, use the left bow on the enemy!"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded at this moment!
