Chapter 323 Baptism Again (Two chapters in one)
Although Ryan had expected that there might be more cultists of the Secret Snake Cult to appear later, the other party came so quickly, and they came with the command of the earth snakes.
This was a bit difficult to deal with.
Because the leader of the other party was obviously not inferior to the Icosela he killed, and was another powerful member of the Secret Snake Cult who had reached the legendary level.
In addition, if there were legendary earth snakes
, it meant that the enemy he had to face this time was equivalent to two legendary masters.
Although Ryan's strength had increased slightly after adding points, he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with two legendary masters at the same time.
However, Ryan soon discovered a situation.
A situation that might be quite beneficial to him.
Judging from the signal flare that the other party had just fired, as well as the content and expression of the other party's conversation, it seemed that they were waiting for someone.
This immediately made Ryan think that the other party should be waiting for the three people from Icosela.
At this moment, Ryan also roughly understood the other party's general plan.
The original plan of the other party should be to attack the Count Habsburg's mansion at the same time, one in the light and one in the dark.
It seems that the group of secret snake cult members in front of him did not know that he had killed Icosela before.
Therefore, Ryan quickly thought of a tactic - 'Get the upper hand! '
This is how the scene of throwing out Icosela's body occurred.
At this moment, Ryan carried the two-handed war hammer that had already been transformed, and walked calmly towards the legendary land snakes that were two or three stories high, without any fear. At the same time, he counted softly:
"One"
"Two"
"What a pity, there are exactly ten! If there were eleven, it would be so much better!"
Excluding the legendary strongman who led the group, there were a total of nine "trash fish". This made it impossible for Ryan to kill the "trash fish", stack ten layers of soul energy to trigger the "Soul Shattering Shock" and rush directly.
On the other hand, Edmundo's tactic.
In fact, the moment he saw Ryan throwing out Icosela's body, Edmundo had already thought of retreating first.
After all, the enemy's situation was unknown, and he didn't need to take this risk.
Moreover, for him, the idea of revenge for Ganon and Holden was not so important. The first task given to him by the Pope was to bring back the legendary ground snake.
However, the next second, his pupils suddenly shrank!
Because he saw the young man in silver armor opposite, holding a war hammer, and walked straight towards them, not afraid of the legendary ground snake under his feet.
This made Edmundo nervous. After all, those who dared to treat the ground snake as nothing were not fools, but those who really had the ability to deal with the ground snake.
And the other party who could kill Icosela must be the latter.
In an instant, Edmundo released his innate witchcraft "Ice Shield". In addition, he immediately began to chant and cast spells:
"Ice Armor!"
As the rapid spell sounded, Edmundo's body surface was first surrounded by a circle of thick ice shields similar to ellipses.
Inside the ice shield, that is, his body surface, there was an extra layer of transparent and solid ice armor, like a knight's armor, protecting it tightly.
After two powerful defensive spells lingered around his body, Edmundo felt relieved.
In addition, his keen hearing naturally heard Ryan's whisper just now, which made him curious and asked:
"What are you counting?"
Edmundo's spells and spells just now still made Ryan a little nervous. He thought that the other party was going to take the initiative to attack, but he didn't expect it to be a defensive spell. This made Ryan slightly happy, because from the other party's reaction, he was quite afraid of him.
In addition, the other party was actually a rare ice wizard.
But now these are not very important, because he has come within 15 meters of the other party.
Ryan looked up, looked at the giant in front of him and the group of people on the top of the ground snake, smiled, and said: "You won't understand even if I tell you."
"Swish!"
Just when Edmundo was still thinking about what Ryan said just now, he suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes, and Ryan suddenly disappeared from his sight.
In an instant, he felt something strange behind him, and Edmundo turned around suddenly.
The eight elite members of the sect he brought with him seemed to be struck by lightning. They looked unbelievable, their eyes widened, and froze in place.
In front of their bodies, eight figures that looked exactly like the young knight appeared, waving their war hammers in various postures.
This scene lasted less than a second, and the eight phantoms disappeared again.
It seemed as if all the phantoms had gathered on the farthest real body.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
The dense sound of bones breaking rang out!
The nine elite members of the Secret Snake Sect he brought with him performed the half-head disappearance technique!
Almost at the same time, the forehead and the upper part of the head exploded one after another, and white, red, liquid and jelly splashed all over the ground. Then, there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground with a "thump thump"!
It was the top-level secret technique "Shadow Step" that Ryan used with all his strength!
At the same time.
Nine transparent spirits quickly emerged from the corpse, dragging long tail flames, lingering around Ryan twice, and then were sucked into his war hammer.
Seeing this scene, Edmundo's eyelids twitched!
"What a fast speed!"
"And what happened just now?"
"Necromancy?"
"Or is there something wrong with that warhammer? A strange object of the dead?"
Edmundo finally understood how Icosela died.
If he were caught off guard, he would be seriously injured by this assassin-type enemy holding a 'strange object'!
In addition, it's not that he doesn't want to retreat at this moment, but can he retreat with the speed shown by the opponent?
Controlling the earth snake to attack?
That won't work either!
Because the legendary earth snake is too huge, and the opponent's speed is incredibly fast.
Therefore, the first priority is to limit the opponent's speed first!
"Ice Roar!"
With a wave of Edmundo's hand, a tornado mixed with broken ice was seen, violently attacking in all directions!
Edmundo's intention was very clear, using the cold to paralyze the opponent's hands and feet, thereby slowing down the opponent's attack speed.
Faced with this range of ice sorcery, Ryan could only retreat slightly, and then use the kite-shaped shield transformed from the magic silver to resist in front of him and weaken the opponent's ice damage.
But Edmundo's methods were obviously more than that. He quickly chanted a spell in a low voice!
"Snowstorm!"
As the spell fell, a large mass of thick black clouds suddenly appeared above Edmundo's head, and the temperature dropped sharply in an instant!
And the sky began to fall with goose feathers and heavy snow mixed with ice particles. The guards who were responsible for the encirclement and vigilance dozens of meters away suddenly felt a strong chill!
And Ryan, who was also on the top of the ground snake and only seven or eight meters away from Edmundo, naturally felt even colder!
However, Edmundo seemed to have forgotten one thing.
The huge ground snake under his feet was also not very resistant to the cold.
Feeling the majestic cold coming from the top of his head, the ground snake was a little drowsy for a while, and he saw it gradually lowered its neck and actually lay on the ground.
This made Ryan happy!
Because fighting on the top of the ground snake, his range of action would be very limited unless he jumped off the ground snake.
But now the ground snake is lying on the ground, which means that he can move around at high speed and look for opportunities.
When Ryan noticed this, Edmundo naturally noticed this problem instantly.
Although he can control the ground snake, he cannot violate the nature and instinct of the ground snake.
Just like a dog trainer cannot train a dog to eat bamboo like a panda. Similarly, when the ambient temperature is lower than a certain limit, the ground snake will naturally reduce its desire to move and begin to sleep.
Edmundo's reaction was also very fast, and he made a decision immediately.
He jumped off the ground snake and retreated quickly, actually retreating to the place where the most guards were in the mansion at this time. As he moved, the large black cloud above his head also moved slowly, and the core area of the blizzard also began to move gradually.
Ryan quickly understood the other party's plan.
The other party actually wanted to keep a distance and let the ground snake escape the influence of the ice witchcraft.
In this regard, Ryan naturally couldn't let the other party get his wish!
"Armor-piercing strike!"
The two-handed warhammer in Ryan's hand instantly transformed into a lance, and he continuously performed the top-level secret 'Shadow Step' plus 'Armor-piercing strike'!
The whole person was like a silver lightning, directly hitting Edmundo who was flying backwards.
The speed was so fast that Edmundo clearly saw Ryan still in the same place, and the next second, Ryan suddenly came to him with a lance in his hand!
"Swish!!!"
The tip of the lance collided violently with the ice shield!
The next second, the ice shield broke!
Even the ice armor on the surface of the body was just a little bit away from being penetrated.
Ryan's attack made Edmundo's forehead sweat almost break out!
"Damn! It's so powerful!"
"Where did such a young strong man come from!"
Edmundo didn't know that Ryan's attack just now looked insignificant, but in fact, it was superimposed with the sprint of the top-level secret 'Shadow Step', the 27-point strength bonus provided by the nine soul energy, the bonus of the innate intermediate strength, the bonus of the dragon bloodline, and so on.
Therefore, it was possible to achieve such an effect that, seemingly with a casual attack, it could even break his innate witchcraft and secondary defense witchcraft.
"Snake hair!"
In a hurry, Edmundo immediately used this signature ability of the Secret Snake Cult.
Four or five guards who were unable to dodge were bitten on the neck or the back of the head by the slender snake head, and their eyes rolled back and they were controlled.
This made Ryan feel mixed with worry and joy. He still remembered what Claire had said to him at that time.
If a person is controlled by snake hair for more than one minute, there is no cure, and he will become a puppet without a mind forever.
Ryan killed the guards in this situation, which was not only a kind of salvation, but also a way to gather the last bit of soul energy he needed.
But the other party killed his own people under his own nose, which always made him very angry!
"Blade Storm!"
A female knight surrounded by a light blue airflow, waving a two-handed sword, swept from behind Edmundo. It was Claire who had stimulated the blood talent!
"Ice Hell!"
Faced with the enemy from both sides, Edmundo finally used his trump card!
With him as the center, large icy prisms suddenly appeared on the ground, with different heights. There were sharp prisms up to three meters high, and low spiked ice balls. In an instant, the area within a radius of dozens of meters around Edmundo was completely white.
For a moment, Ryan and Claire were forced to retreat.
At the same time, Edmundo controlled several guards who were controlled by the snake hair and had become "frozen zombies" and smashed them towards Ryan.
Ryan looked at the guards who smashed him and silently said in his heart: "I'm sorry!"
"Hammer of Annihilation!"
"Bang!"
Ryan smashed a frozen guard to pieces with a heavy blow. In an instant, a soul phantom was absorbed by the hammer!
"Ten!"
At this time, Ryan's eyes condensed and stared at Edmundo. The next second, he performed the shadow step, leaving a trail of afterimages, and rushed into the "Ice Hell" at an astonishing speed!
"Dare to rush into the Ice Hell?"
"What a young man who was blinded by a short-term advantage!" Edmundo saw this scene, his face was not surprised but happy!
Because in the Ice Hell, his ice magic will be strengthened by 50%, and the opponent in the Ice Hell will be affected by the ultra-low temperature cold wind, causing stiff hands and feet, and greatly reducing the movement speed.
Therefore, in his opinion, once Ryan entered the Ice Hell, he would soon lose his greatest advantage of speed.
"Boom!"
Ryan quickly swung his two-handed warhammer, smashing all the ice ridges and icicles in the straight line, and rushed into the Ice Hell like a giant beast.
"Damn, what kind of monster is this!"
Seeing Ryan so powerful, Edmundo couldn't help but cast spells quickly!
"Ice Blade Storm!"
"Ice Cone Spell!"
"."
One after another, ice witchcraft, plus the blessing of the Ice Hell, bombarded Ryan!
Although Ryan resisted them one by one, his hair and eyebrows were already snow-white at this moment, and his movement speed was greatly reduced.
"Huh~"
This made Edmundo feel relieved!
"What a dangerous guy!"
"But he's finally going to freeze to death!"
Edmundo watched Ryan rush to two or three meters in front of him as if in slow motion, and when he slowly swung down the warhammer, a sneer appeared on his face!
"This posture is good. Perhaps, it will be a good trophy ice sculpture!"
"Dang!"
At this time, Ryan's war hammer also hit Edmundo's protective ice shield!
Listening to the sound, you can tell that this hammer is very light, even a little weak!
But in an instant, Edmundo's expression was horrified, and the next second, he screamed with his head in his hands!
The true damage of "Soul Shattering Shock" severely damaged Edmundo's soul, and he was simply unable to continue to maintain the ice hell.
Ryan silently added a little more strength, and as his heart pumped out a stream of heat, he swung the hammer one after another!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The first blow smashed the ice shield, and each subsequent hammer hit Edmundo's body.
Edmundo could barely resist at first, but he couldn't resist in time. After being hit by a hammer, the whole person was like a rag, and he had no power to resist.
Soon, Edmundo was hammered into a pulp by Ryan!
"Hu~Hu~"
Ryan kept holding the hammer with both hands, breathing heavily!
But then he remembered that although he had dealt with the guy in front of him, there was still a legendary land snake behind him!
Ryan turned around quickly and looked at the land snake that was about to wake up. The war hammer in his hand quickly transformed into a long lance.
"Sharp Technique!"
"Swoosh!"
A silver straight line rushed straight to the legendary land snake!
With the superposition of two top-level secrets, dragon blood, etc., Ryan's lance had exerted its power to a certain extreme.
It pierced deeply into the rubber-like, tough and thick surface of the land snake until the handle disappeared!
Because Ryan's piercing position was extremely precise this time, it happened to be between the two eyes of the land snake with poor eyesight, that is, the location of the brain.
Therefore, after being pierced, the walnut eyes of the land snake with poor eyesight suddenly opened, but it was already a last gasp!
I saw that its whole body was still twisting violently, causing the ground to shake violently, but it was indeed dead.
"Chi!"
Ryan pulled out the lance!
Looking at the legendary land snake that was probably the fastest to die, he felt quite emotional.
If it weren't for Edmundo's Ice Hell, he might have had to work so hard to kill this earth snake.
"Puff!"
The smelly blood of the earth snake mixed with unknown body fluids spurted out from the circular wound just made by the lance like a high-pressure water gun.
Ryan didn't notice it for a moment and was drenched!
Just when Ryan was a little annoyed, suddenly, the whole person froze!
At this time, the system prompt sounded:
[Ding! Detection of the host being baptized by the blood of the legendary earth snake, and found that a trace amount of dragon gene fragments can be absorbed. Yes/No? ]
(Note: After absorbing this trace amount of dragon gene fragments, the upper limit of the host's dragon blood concentration can be slightly increased.)
"Huh?"
"This ancient legendary earth snake actually has dragon gene fragments?"
But soon, Ryan's face showed a sudden realization.
The ancient earth snake is most likely the offspring of some dragons who were indiscreet in ancient times.
"Isn't it good to communicate among the same race? And it's across races."
"But this is a good thing for me!"
"It's just that the expression is 'trace'? Remember the last time the three-headed sea dragon's egg liquid baptism was performed, the expression was 'a small amount'. Sure enough, the dragon blood in the earth snake is much thinner?"
Ryan keenly noticed the difference in the expression compared to the last egg liquid baptism.
"But no matter how much, as long as it can improve strength, a mosquito leg is also meat!"
Ryan chose "yes" without hesitation!
In an instant, Ryan felt the part of his body that was stained with the smelly snake blood, and suddenly felt a ray of warmth, as if warm hot spring water penetrated from the surface of the skin into the body.
The whole process lasted less than half a second and ended.
Ryan quickly glanced at the attribute panel, and the effect of the dragon blood did not change at all.
[Dragon Blood (weak) effect: Fire element affinity is slightly increased, giant strength talent effect is slightly increased, steel body talent effect is slightly increased, and battle cry type secrets are slightly strengthened. ]
This made him a little disappointed.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Ryan's mind!
"Wait, if I baptize more, will it add up to a lot?"
Thinking of this, Ryan's eyes suddenly lit up.
And he quickly took action.
The spear in his hand quickly transformed into a giant two-handed sword of more than three meters and nearly four meters. Then, he turned around and came to the side of the legendary snake, and slashed at the huge snake head!
With a huge silver arc flashing, there was a "chi" sound!
It seemed that the snake's defense was greatly reduced due to its death, and the snake's head with a huge and hideous petal-shaped mouth was cut off.
The smelly snake blood, like a small waterfall, spurted out from the smooth incision like a round table.
Ryan took a step and stood under the blood waterfall to receive the baptism!
Sure enough, after the skin surface was stained with a large amount of snake blood, the warm feeling appeared again.
But soon, it seemed to have reached a certain limit, and Ryan could no longer feel the warmth.
After thinking about it, Ryan was still a little unwilling to give up!
"Where is the most blood essence?"
"It should be the heart!"
Ryan jumped lightly and came to the ground snake. The big sword in his hand changed into a giant sickle again, with the blade facing down, piercing the skin of the giant ground snake.
"Swish!"
As Ryan performed the top-level secret shadow step, a figure flashed over the ground snake, and the legendary ground snake was cut in half by Ryan, stretching for dozens of meters, exposing the spine and internal organs.
After seeing the huge, still slightly beating heart, Ryan's eyes lit up, and he quickly cut off the top and got in.
The warm feeling came again.
"Sure enough, the heart has the most blood essence!"
"It seems that this baptism is also particular. It is not like the genetic technology in the previous life, which only needs a little bit, or even a single-digit stem cell, to complete a large number of gene extractions."
"The absorption recognized by the system seems to need to reach a certain amount to have the best effect." Ryan's eyes flickered, and he immediately figured out something.
But in a very short time, Ryan could no longer feel any warmth.
A few seconds later, he dragged his bloody and sticky body and jumped out of the heart of the legendary snake.
And the scene that Ryan just saw was a little confusing to the people around him.
In their opinion, Lord Ryan, who was doused with the smelly snake blood, seemed to be stimulated by something. He actually beheaded the snake and bathed again!
But what was even more strange was that this was not the end.
Lord Ryan actually split the huge snake in half and jumped into the snake's body?
Did Lord Ryan treat the legendary snake as a dragon?
Baptized it with snake blood?
Is the blood of this legendary snake really like the blood of a dragon, which can give people magical powers?
Many brave guards couldn't help but step forward, endure the stench, and touch the snake blood with their hands.
"Hiss!"
"Ah!"
Many guards were quick to remove a layer of corroded finger skin.
"What a strong corrosiveness!"
The guards looked at Ryan, who was unharmed, and couldn't help but be more horrified.
At this time, Ryan had just jumped off the ground snake and was about to wash it.
Suddenly, the system prompt sounded again.
This time, Ryan's eyes suddenly widened and he took a breath!
Thank you for the 500 starting coins reward for being happy and having good luck!
