Chapter 251 Close your eyes and cover your ears (two chapters in one)
Ryan stopped for a moment and decided to complete the assigned task and rescue Alyosha first.
Because the sound of fighting coming from the passage in front was still a little far away, even if he rushed over, it would probably take a lot of time, and Alyosha was about 20 to 30 meters away.
Not long after Ryan turned right, he found that a large wall made of light blue stone strips appeared in front of him, and an underground hall suddenly appeared in front of him.
This is a real hall!
Unlike the passage, which was newly dug, this hall has existed for a long time and gives people a very ancient feeling.
Since the original cave entrance had collapsed not far away, it seems that this tunnel was dug to connect here.
This hall is built with the light blue strip-shaped boulders that Ryan saw when he walked down the cave before. In addition, there are two rows of Doric-style columns in the center of the hall for support, and the material is also light blue boulders.
In addition, at the far end of the hall, there was a passage that seemed to extend deeper, with sparkling water reflections on both sides.
The sudden appearance of the quaint hall aroused Ryan's curiosity.
So, Ryan slowed down his pace, slowly approached, and took a slight glance.
He saw that there were more than 20 white-scaled fishmen of the kind he had just killed in the stone hall, guarding every five steps and every ten steps. In addition, there were three blood-cursed nagas stationed here.
What shocked him was that against one side of the hall wall, there were seven or eight hanging cages woven with some kind of tough seaweed, imprisoning human men and women.
These people all had one characteristic, that the knight's plate armor or wizard robes on their bodies were broken or damaged, and their expressions were listless.
And Ryan keenly noticed that the young woman with a ponytail on the outermost side was holding a faintly glowing stone in her hand, which was exactly the same communication stone in his hand. It seems
that this person should be the target person, the youngest daughter of Javier's envoy - Alyosha.
Alyosha only discovered that the communication stone in her arms was glowing slightly about ten minutes ago. At first, she thought she was dazzled.
Because only when another communication stone was close to it would the one in her arms become brighter.
But how could this be possible?
Her father was far away in Munster, and he sent people over so soon?
When she thought that the rescuers sent by her father were about to arrive, Alyosha's originally languid beautiful eyes immediately widened and became energetic in an instant!
But soon, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she thought of something, and her expression became worried and uncertain again.
She turned her head slightly and looked at the members of the imperial elite team who were also captured beside her.
"The two closest to me are members of the Clefttooth Bear Squad under the Imperial Army's special department 'Earthshaker'. They were captured shortly after me. I chatted with them while the fishmen were guarding them."
"The three farther away are also members of the 'Earthshaker', but they belong to another team, which seems to be called the Velociraptor Squad. They were captured about an hour later than the Clefttooth Bear Squad. They were said to be exploring some altar." "The other two
are even more powerful. They are members of the Imperial Army's special department 'Sword Bearers'. I haven't had time to ask which team they belong to." "
But from the brief conversation between them and the Velociraptor Squad members just now, it seems that they are here to rescue the two teams of the Imperial Army."
"So many powerful teams have been defeated here, so even if they are sent by my father, can they successfully save us?"
"Goddess of Luck! Please bless me."
When Alyosha thought of this, he suddenly lost confidence.
And Ryan.
Since he had found the target person, he naturally decided to rescue him immediately. If he delayed too long, there would be more uncertainties.
So, he observed the enemies in the hall again.
Suddenly, he found that one of the three blood-cursed naga in the hall was very different.
Just now, he just glanced at it casually, and the other party's figure was mostly blocked by the stone pillar, so he didn't see it clearly.
This time, the other party walked a distance and changed his position, so he could see the other party clearly.
The other party was actually a rare female blood-cursed naga!
The ancient books clearly described that the blood-cursed naga, like other naga, is a matriarchal society, that is, the strength of female blood-cursed naga is generally greater than that of male naga.
This made Ryan's face slightly condensed, and he carefully observed the other party.
Suddenly, the female blood-cursed naga turned her head and looked in the direction of Ryan.
Ryan's heart trembled, and he immediately took a step back and dodged into the shadow of the passage he came from.
At this time, the Blood Curse Naga leader Gneis in the underground hall could not help but look puzzled. She had just sensed that something seemed to be there.
Just when she was about to send someone to take a look, her pair of snake pupils shrank slightly!
She saw that the marine iguana crawling out of the ground
was this little thing
. So, Gneis felt relieved and looked away.
The other party's quick reaction surprised Ryan!
This female Naga had a beautiful face. If you don't count the fins standing high around her head, she would be no less beautiful than the beautiful woman Jennifer.
In addition, the other party actually had four arms. Although from the perspective of the thickness of the arms, they were far less muscular than the male Blood Curse Naga, but they held four different melee weapons, namely swords, knives, short spears and tridents.
Judging from the ease with which she swung the metal weapons in her hands, the other party should be very strong, but her body features were only soft and beautiful.
Ryan originally thought that judging from the four weapons in the other party's hands, the female Blood Curse Naga in front of him should also be a melee Naga similar to a knight.
But he didn't expect that the other party's mental perception was so sharp that she almost discovered him just now.
In other words, this female four-armed Naga is not only strong in close combat, but also, as recorded in ancient books, is likely to be born with water magic.
This made Ryan frown!
Because if he wants to save people, he has to kill the group of sea creatures in the hall. He is sure of the white-scaled fishman and the male blood-cursed Naga, and the only uncertainty is the female Naga in front of him.
In other words, his current means of dealing with the enemy are not enough.
Without much hesitation, Ryan immediately opened the system panel.
Originally, he planned to save up 4 skill points plus 2 gold skill points to upgrade the intermediate secret 'Shockwave' to the advanced secret.
But now it seems that this step has to be slowed down.
Because the battle in front of him is inevitable and cannot be delayed.
According to ancient books, the ancient blood-cursed Naga likes to sacrifice the blood of enemies with good strength.
When he goes back to call for help and comes back, it is estimated that Alyosha and the captured colleagues of the empire in front of him will have returned to the arms of the goddess.
It just so happened that the first extraordinary combat skill he had learned on the road to becoming a knight, the Giant Bear Swordsmanship, had already taken a step towards the level of understanding the secret.
Ryan was very sure that as long as he used a little gold skill point now, he would be able to understand the subsequent secrets of the Giant Bear Swordsmanship secret skill
'Roaring Strike'. And the secrets derived from the Giant Bear Swordsmanship secret skill 'Roaring Strike' also made Ryan vaguely guess and look forward to it.
Since encountering the Blood Curse Naga, Ryan may not have gained much in other aspects, but the efficiency of obtaining gold skill points is really high.
In just less than a quarter of an hour, he had already earned two gold skill points.
Therefore, Ryan did not feel sorry for using it.
In addition, since Ryan already had the experience of understanding the secret 'Shock Wave', he knew that two conditions needed to be met to perform the secret.
The first condition was the accumulation of Force over the years, which was to reach the lower limit of Force required to perform the secret, but this condition had already been met when Ryan had understood the secret 'Shock Wave' before.
At this moment, his Bear King Breathing Method has reached level 14, far exceeding this condition.
Therefore, Ryan now only needs to further deepen his understanding of the Giant Bear Sword Secret Technique "Roaring Strike", and finally, by combining the two extremely exquisitely, he can successfully comprehend and perform the subsequent mysteries.
With the investment of gold skill points, Ryan seemed to have come to a mysterious space, and in an instant, he experienced several years of training in the Giant Bear Sword Secret Technique "Roaring Strike".
When Ryan came back to his senses, the system prompt came as expected:
[Congratulations, you have comprehended the primary mysteries of Giant Bear Sword: Roaring War Cry! ]
Mystery - Roaring War Cry?
Ryan couldn't help but smile, which was similar to what he had expected before.
After all, the previous Giant Bear Sword Secret Technique "Roaring Strike" can be said to be a sound wave attack that is better than a sword attack.
But there is nothing wrong with this.
Perhaps, in this stone hall with many enemies, sonic attacks can be more effective.
Immediately, Ryan, delighted, found a new icon on the Weapon Master (Legend) panel, located directly above the Giant Bear Sword Secret Skill 'Roaring Strike'.
The pattern in the icon is a strong man's head with his hands wide open, roaring to the sky. Around the wide-open mouth, there are arcs of lines, which seem to represent the sound wave attack that is rushing outward, looking extremely fierce.
"When it was a secret skill, the icon was a bear head, but now it has become a strong man's head?"
"This... the system's aesthetics have been improved?"
Ryan was also a little confused for a while, and he couldn't figure out the system's aesthetic standards.
He continued to look down.
There was a line of small words on the lower right side of the icon:
Roaring War Cry (Primary Secret) Effect: Use a special method of combining the Force with the vocal cords to roar with a strong sound wave, attacking and shocking the surrounding enemies.
(Note: The power of Roaring War Cry decreases with distance, which is proportional to one's own physical fitness.)
(Note: Roaring War Cry is a secret skill and cannot be upgraded through skill points.)
(To upgrade Roaring War Cry to an intermediate secret skill, the following conditions must be met: 1. Bear King Breathing Technique lv14 or above; 2. Physical fitness 30 points or above; 3. Consume 2 gold skill points.)
Hmm?
Ryan narrowed his eyes and immediately fell into thought.
"This last sentence is very interesting."
No wonder the icon has nothing to do with the giant bear.
The primary secret skill 'Roaring War Cry' was upgraded to an intermediate secret skill, and there was no need to upgrade the Giant Bear Swordsmanship at all!
This seems to indicate that 'Roaring War Cry' has been refined and sublimated into a relatively pure sound wave secret skill.
After understanding this, the smile on Ryan's face suddenly became brighter.
This means that when he performs the Tokkar Hammer Technique, he should be able to perform this new sound wave secret skill 'Roaring War Cry' at the same time!
Instead of having to use the Glimmering Great Sword to perform it.
This is really a pleasant surprise!
The key is that after comparing the conditions for upgrading to the intermediate level, I completely meet them!
"Huh?"
"It takes 2 gold skill points?"
Seeing that it takes 2 gold skill points to upgrade to the intermediate level, Ryan frowned slightly.
He remembered clearly before that when the hammer skill 'Shockwave' was upgraded to the intermediate level, it only required 1 gold skill point, but now, 'Roaring War Cry' requires 2 points.
"Could it be that there is a difference between self-realization and adding points to break through?"
"Or is it that different mysteries require different numbers of gold skill points to upgrade?"
Suddenly, Ryan's mind flashed.
"Could it be that this is related to weapon specialization?"
"Because my hammer specialization is level 3, and my sword specialization is only level 1 according to the weapon master's exclusive talent 'Primary Weapon Mastery'. Could it be because of this?"
"But the current sample size is too small, and it is still impossible to determine."
"Two gold skill points, I just happen to have"
gold skill points to upgrade the hammer secret 'Shockwave' to the advanced secret?
No.
Ryan shook his head slightly.
In the passage hall, the blood curse nagas are walking 'gold skill points'.
Female blood curse nagas look much more difficult to deal with than males.
At this time, it would be foolish to keep the gold skill points.
With a powerful enemy at hand, it is natural to improve strength if possible.
So, Ryan invested 2 gold skill points again.
Instantly, a great memory of the training of the sound wave secret 'Roaring War Cry' flooded into Ryan's mind.
In his memory, it seemed as if there was another Ryan in a mysterious space, roaring in the vast forest, roaring in the boundless sea, roaring in the vast desert, and even standing on the top of the mountain.
After Ryan came to his senses, he found a system prompt quietly coming:
[Congratulations, you have comprehended the intermediate secret of the sound wave: Roaring War Cry! ]
Intermediate Secret!
It's done!
Ryan was very happy!
At the same time, the icon of the intermediate secret 'Roaring War Cry' also changed slightly.
The arc lines roared out of the strong man's mouth became more dense and thicker, which seemed to represent that the power of the sound wave became stronger!
The small words at the bottom right of the icon also changed:
Roaring War Cry (Intermediate Secret) Effect: Use a special method of combining the Force with the vocal cords to roar out a blow with super strong sound waves, attacking and shocking the surrounding enemies.
(Note: The power of Roaring War Cry decreases with distance, which is proportional to one's own physical fitness.)
(Note: Roaring War Cry is a secret skill and cannot be upgraded through skill points.)
(To upgrade Roaring War Cry to a high-level secret skill, the following conditions must be met: 1. Bear King Breathing Technique lv16 or above; 2. Physical fitness 35 points or above; 3. Consume 3 gold skill points.)
"Does it take 3 gold skill points to upgrade to a high-level secret skill?"
"Sure enough, it's different from the promotion conditions of Shockwave."
At this moment, Ryan's mood is like going hunting and hoping to have a bow, but accidentally getting a gun. Ke took a closer look and found that this gun was actually a six-barreled Gatling gun!
Now, Ryan's gold skill points have been cleared, and there are still 2 ordinary skill points left.
Without thinking too much, Tokkar Hammer is his most powerful means of attack at present, and it is also needed to upgrade the high-level secret skill in the future.
Ryan immediately started to add points to Hammer.
The first point was invested, no problem. In an instant, a large amount of Tokkar Hammer training memories flooded into Ryan's mind.
However, when he invested the second skill point, his face was stunned.
The system prompt was as follows:
[Ding! Failed to add points! ]
[Your skill Tokkar Hammer has reached level 15. If you want to continue to improve, you need to use gold skill points! ]
This.
"I see."
"Ordinary skill points can only upgrade skills to level 15, at least, for hammer skills."
"And the second function of gold skill points has also been discovered, which is that they can be used to upgrade skills after level 15."
"In this case, the last skill point will be added to the Bear King Breathing Method." Ryan quickly made a decision.
As the Bear King Breathing Method also entered level 15, Ryan clearly felt that the speed of generating the original force in his body and the total amount of original force had a slight increase.
Breathing methods are like this. The changes to the body are gradually enhanced. It is not achieved overnight, but it is better to accumulate over time.
Adding points is completed!
Just as Ryan was about to step forward, he suddenly stopped and took back his steps.
He broke off a luminous stone from the stone wall beside him and threw it into the air in the hall. At the same time, he shouted in a deep voice:
"Close your eyes!"
Since the people present were all elite team members of the special departments of the empire, they reacted to the human voice immediately and showed surprise on their faces!
They knew that someone was coming to rescue them.
So, when they heard Ryan clearly that they were asked to close their eyes, most of them closed their eyes immediately.
At this time, the fishmen and the Nagas were still looking at the slightly glowing luminous stone that was passing quickly above their heads like a meteor.
Even though they heard Ryan's voice, they were a little confused for a while, not knowing whether to observe the flying stone or to find the source of the sound.
This made the Blood Curse Naga leader Gegenis speechless and angry.
These stupid guys under his command!
"Idiots! That human is over there, kill him! (Naga language)"
Just as the white-scaled fish people were about to take action, suddenly, a strong light suddenly lit up at one end of the dim hall. This was the witchcraft "Burning Light" cast by Ryan.
The sudden and extremely bright light immediately blinded the fishmen, and everything they saw was white.
The two male blood-cursed Nagas and the Naga leader, Gness, couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands to avoid the damage to their eyes caused by the strong light.
The next second, the hall returned to a dim state.
Although it only lasted for a second, it was enough.
Ryan's goal was to use the witchcraft "blazing light" to create the effect of a strong light bomb and create an opportunity for him to attack.
"Shua shua!" The sound of sword swinging rang out!
The white-scaled fishmen in the hall kept screaming.
The ancient race of blood-cursed Nagas had extremely strong physiques. In less than two seconds, their eyes regained their vision again.
Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but get angry. The two male Nagas rushed up immediately, followed by the white-scaled fishmen who rushed towards Ryan from all directions. At this time, the fishmen's vision gradually recovered.
This scene immediately made the seven elite soldiers of the empire, including Alyosha, who were hung in the net cage, worried!
They originally thought that Ryan was just the vanguard, and there should be one or even several teams of elite soldiers of the empire behind him!
But they didn't expect that after a few seconds, Ryan was the only one in the center of the hall.
Obviously, there was no elite team of the empire!
The reinforcement was just the boy!
Boy, you are too reckless!
Many people shouted anxiously: "Be careful! The blood cursed naga is rushing over!"
"If it doesn't work, retreat quickly!"
"Young man! Go back and report to the empire quickly, you can't save us alone!"
"."
"Cover your ears!"
Ryan responded to them.
Hearing Ryan say this, the captured elite soldiers of the empire were stunned at first, but quickly did it.
Because last time there were two people who didn't listen to Ryan's words to "close your eyes", and now they were crying!
So this time, when Ryan shouted "cover your ears" again, they all covered their ears without hesitation.
Ryan's chest was bulging like a balloon, and the veins on his neck were bulging, like an angry cobra, with his mouth wide open!
"Roar!!!"
A violent sound wave accompanied by a turbulent airflow swept around like a tsunami!
Suddenly, the group of white-scaled fishmen were stunned, and their huge fish faces were violently deformed by the strong wind and shook wildly!
At the same time, the eardrums were instantly ruptured, and their heads were buzzing!
All of them kept waving their weapons and attacking, standing there!
The next second!
The white-scaled fishmen closest to Ryan, about five or six, had their heads exploded directly! The neck of the headless corpse was "hissing" and spraying high blue blood columns.
A little further back, the top of the head was shaken open by the sound wave, the huge fish head was still there, the protruding big eyes were still cute, but the brain had become a paste, like a dish in the previous life, "raw monkey brain" - the state of the monkey brain with the lid opened.
The white-scaled fishmen further back had dull eyes, and thin blue blood flowed from their noses and ears!
The tridents of the two male blood-cursed nagas that rushed over had already fallen to the ground, and a pair of thick arms were covering the ugly dragon heads, looking extremely painful.
Even the blood-cursed naga leader Genis, who was about to cast a spell more than 20 meters away, was interrupted at this moment, and a look of pain and anger appeared on her beautiful face.
"Plop! Plop!"
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard!
Dozens of white-scaled fishmen, like harvested wheat, formed a large fan shape and fell to the outside in unison!
And Ryan stood at the top of this fan-shaped area.
Such a mighty force made the big eyes of the ponytailed girl Alyosha twinkle, which was even cuter than the fishmen's watery eyes.
