After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 156 The source of malice that eats everything

The vision in front of me went from blurry to clear.

The sharp fall in the past became smoother this time, just like a bumpy mountain road suddenly turned into a highway.

Ryan slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was a familiar yet unfamiliar battleship.

He stood up and looked down, lost in thought.

Although this large battleship is slightly different from the [Black Rose], in general, it has the same structure.

Ryan doesn't know what the principle is.

"It turns out that the experience of arriving at the place you travel to is closely related to the quality of the ship it is attached to?"

In the past, Ryan had always traveled by relying on a small bamboo raft. Now that the shotgun has been replaced with a cannon, the comfort has greatly increased, which really makes him a little uncomfortable.

Ryan walked around the battleship and found that all the trophies originally hung on the mast had been moved to a special collection cabinet in the captain's room.

He looked at the 19 trophies he had acquired so far during his travels. The three colors of bronze, silver and the most conspicuous gold were intertwined, and he nodded with satisfaction.

After inspecting the condition of the ship's hull, Ryan came to the bow deck, where the bonfire used for teleportation was set up.

As the sparks dissipated, Ryan's vision changed. When it returned to normal, he had arrived at [Bonfire Point - Volcano Cave].

The bright bonfire danced and burned, reflecting his reserved and fighting eyes.

During this trip, Ryan's main target is the [Crown] sapphire beast that lives in the large lava lake.

At present, his equipment has been updated and iterated, and his strength has greatly improved, and the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Behemoth is his best opponent.

Of course, some necessary checks must be done before the crusade begins.

First, there is the equipment aspect.

Weapons: [Crown Dragon-Slaying Great Sword] and [Light Crossbow·Ice Shatter]

Protective gear: [Reverse Blade Armor]

In terms of special equipment, there is an additional [Thunder Ring] that reduces energy damage, and the other items remain unchanged.

The specific experience of using [Crown Dragon-Slaying Great Sword] and [Reverse Blade Armor] can only be known after actual actual combat. On the contrary, [Light Crossbow·Ice Shatter], this long-range weapon that was originally abandoned by Ryan, has been After acquiring the special skill [Gospel], he regained his second youth.

The attack power of [Light Crossbow·Smashed Ice] itself is not worth mentioning, but as long as its crossbow arrows can touch the monster's body, it can superimpose a layer of "Gospel Mark", which is quite useful.

In addition to equipment, the other aspect is skills.

The special skills that Ryan has recently acquired that can effectively target the [Crown] Sapphire Behemoth include - [Heat Damage Invalidation lv.1 (max)] and [Explosion Resistance lv.2].

In the last hasty encounter, although the attack moves and habits of the [Grand Rank] sapphire behemoth were not detected, we could roughly infer that the attack attributes of this powerful crown-ranked special species were explosive attributes.

Explosion damage is a compound damage, which includes both direct damage when the explosion occurs and burning damage after the explosion.

The two special skills [Thermal Damage Invalidation lv.1 (max)] and [Explosion Resistance lv.2] can reduce the explosion damage of the [Crown] Sapphire Behemoth for these two types of damage. to the lowest.

Of course, the blast damage is only part of the attack of the [Crown] Sapphire Beast. The direct physical attack brought by its terrifying body cannot be resisted by flesh and blood.

Compared with the [Grand Rank] Sword-Slaying Dragon, the [Crown Rank] Sapphire Behemoth is larger in size. In terms of tonnage, it is at least twice as heavy, and tonnage often means power.

In addition to [Thermal Damage Invalidation lv.1 (max)] and [Explosion Resistance lv.2], there is another skill that will also bring great help to Ryan in his crusade against the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Behemoth.

That is the core skill of "Apostle of Joy" - [Tide of Pain].

During his last travel trip, after defeating the [Crown] Stegosaurus, Ryan successfully completed his first "joy after pain", and during the free time during the day, he gritted his teeth and endured another 25 "pains" , accumulating the pain value to the level of "50/100".

And the pain value of 50 points brings 50% of all attribute blessings during combat.

Now, the panel of Ryan's traveling clone is.

-

[Spirituality]: 27.3 (40.95)

[Physique]: 219.1 (219.1)

-

Although [Physique] has not increased, [Spirituality] has broken through to more than 40 points, and the strength of [Spirituality] determines the power of Ryan's many skills, which also improves his combat effectiveness.

After checking it from all aspects to make sure there was nothing wrong, Ryan stood up from the campfire.

Wearing [Reverse Blade Armor], from a distance, he looks like a small [Crown] Sword-Slaying Dragon, giving people a sharp and formidable sense of sight.

After stepping out of [Bonfire Point-Volcano Cave], Ryan walked along the passage.

The flowing magma accompanied him, and he occasionally encountered a few small monsters. After noticing the terrifying aura on Ryan's body from a distance, they all ran away in panic, as if out of fear, but also as if it was their instinct during this period. reaction.

Ryan didn't bother to pay attention to these small monsters. Even if he defeated these little monsters, they would have no experience points, so he was just wasting his time.

After some time, Ryan arrived at the entrance of a large magma lake.

He came here again, but his mood was completely different.

When he first arrived, he was hesitant because of the unknown and frightened because of his weak strength. But now, as a well-prepared hunter, his goal is clear and definite!

As soon as you step out, you will be greeted by billowing hot wind, and a large red magma lake will come into view.

Ryan did not see the figure of the [Grand Rank] sapphire beast as far as he could see, and he was not surprised by this.

The last few times I came here, the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Behemoth was not there either. This guy seemed to be particularly busy.

Strolling forward, not long after, Ryan came to the place where he last encountered the [Crown] Sapphire Beast head-on.

After looking at the surrounding environment for a while, Ryan frowned slightly.

"Why are there so few of those dark green slime molds?"

[Grand Rank] When the sapphire giant beast moves, it will leave behind many explosive slime molds. But now, not many dark green slime molds are seen around the large magma lake. The only remaining slime molds seem to be very old. Left over from before.

It was as if during this period, the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Beast had not returned here for several days.

"what happened?"

Ryan's heart felt inexplicably heavy.

Combined with the fact that the body of the previous [high-ranking] Princess Blazing Spider had been devoured even her carapace overnight, as well as the extreme panic reaction of those little monsters just now, everything indicates that a huge event is likely to occur in the volcanic area. changes.

"Boom!"

While Ryan was meditating, a violent explosion sound came from the distance, accompanied by the faint trembling of gravel on the ground.

Ryan turned his head sharply and turned to the passage in the distance - that was the passage where the [Grand Rank] sapphire giant beast rushed out in the first place. After a brief hesitation, Ryan rushed out.

No matter what changes occurred in the volcanic area, he had to find out that before further improving his strength, he was not qualified to go to the "Land of End and Origin".

Everything ahead was unknown, and he would not hesitate to pay for it even with his life.

With the roaring hot wind and the uneven rock walls beside his ears, Ryan was running at full speed. Even if he was wearing armor and carrying a big sword on his back, his speed was still astonishingly fast.

He went deeper along the passage.

The ground within the channel, which trends downward, appears to be a path leading to deeper areas of the volcano.

The temperature in the environment is gradually rising. Under the protection of the special skill [Thermal Damage Invalidation], Ryan is unscathed.

A few minutes later, light appeared at the end of the passage. At the same time, smoke and dust from the explosion continued to pour into the passage.

"Roar--!"

The indescribable violent roar of the dragon, mixed with the sound of continuous explosions, gradually faded away.

Ryan carefully followed the passage, and after the explosion smoke receded, he stuck his head to observe.

The sight that came into his eyes made his pupils slightly widen.

After the passage, it was not the magma zone he imagined, but a strange place covered with giant crystal stones.

Pillar-shaped crystals not only grow wildly from the ground, but also grow a large number of giant crystal pillars on the rock walls above.

The color of these crystal pillars is very strange. When viewed from the front, it looks like light silver, but when viewed from the side, it turns into colorful neon.

An extremely huge crystal cave with no end as far as the eye can see.

"call……"

Ryan took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and turned his gaze to the "battle field" not far ahead.

Not only were there craters everywhere, but a large number of crystal pillars around it were also shattered, with broken crystal pillars scattered all over the place.

Ryan's eyes narrowed and he noticed the dark green slime mold remaining on the edges of these potholes.

"The remnants of the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Giant Beast... Just now, right here, there was a fierce battle between the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Giant Beast and an unknown, but powerful monster that would never be weaker than [Grand Rank]? "

Ryan's eyes were extremely solemn.

Judging from the traces of the current battle, the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Giant Beast is obviously going all out, which means that the unknown crown monster has the lowest strength and is at the same level as the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Giant Beast, and even has Probably stronger.

Now how to do?

Ryan frowned. After thinking for a moment, his eyes fell on the dark green slime mold scattered along the way.

Ryan didn't know who would win in this battle, but judging from the situation at the scene, the [Grand Rank] sapphire behemoth should have temporarily evacuated, while the unknown crown monster did not choose to pursue it, perhaps because it was afraid of The strength of the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Giant Beast may be due to other reasons. In short, as long as you follow the traces of these dark green slime molds, you will definitely find the location of the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Blue Beast.

For Ryan, compared to the unknown crown monster, the [Grand Rank] sapphire behemoth is easier to deal with. At least he knows some information and has his own targeted special skills.

With his thoughts at this point, Ryan no longer hesitated, took steps, and followed the scattered dark green slime mold.

In this vast "land of volcanic crystals", countless huge spar pillars stand on the ground. They are tens of meters high and several meters short.

After about fifteen minutes, Ryan stopped.

He hid sideways behind a crystal pillar several meters high. What appeared in front of him was a strange place where magma and crystals coexisted.

The basin that is slightly depressed downwards and has a radius of several hundred meters accumulates a small amount of magma, and at the edge of the basin, there are densely packed spar pillars.

In the center of the magma basin, there is a raised rock platform, and the [Crown] Sapphire Giant Beast is standing there, with his head lowered, as if he is eating something.

There were a lot of bleeding wounds on its body. Judging from the shape of the wounds, except for a few marks of impact and whipping, most of the rest were caused by being bitten by sharp teeth.

At this point, most of these scars have healed.

Because of the cover of the [Crown] sapphire beast, Ryan couldn't see clearly what it was eating, but it was most likely something that accelerated the body's healing.

From the end of the fierce battle to now, less than half an hour has passed. Being able to recover most of the injuries from such a huge [Crown] sapphire beast, the preciousness of this thing is self-evident.

Ryan took a deep breath, raised his right hand to hold the big sword behind him, and at the same time, he pulled the trigger of the [Light Crossbow·Smashed Ice] held in his left hand.

"call out--"

The sound of piercing the sky sounded, and the crossbow arrow hit the [Grand Rank] sapphire giant beast from behind without any surprise.

Feeling bitten by a mosquito, the [Crown Rank] Sapphire Blue Beast slowly turned around, and his eyes fell on Ryan, who was walking forward step by step.

Because of the crossbow's hit, the [Blood Hunt] effect was triggered, and the "Gospel Seal" was successfully superimposed. While walking, Ryan completed the process of winding and pulling the trigger, and another crossbow arrow flew out.

"Roar--!"

[Grand Position] The roar of the sapphire beast seemed to be mixed with some kind of explosive powder. When the sound wave touched the crossbow arrow, the sudden explosion caused the crossbow arrow to shatter into pieces.

Looking at the incoming enemy, the [Grand Rank] sapphire giant exerted force on its feet. In the next moment, its entire body jumped into the air to a height of tens of meters, and then fell heavily to where Ryan was.

"Boom--!"

The ground shattered and sank, forming a huge crater with a radius of more than 20 meters. Ryan, who had taken precautions in advance, made a pre-judgment dodge before the [Grand Rank] Sapphire Beast launched a jumping attack and escaped from the attack. scope.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the huge beast slowly stood up. Ryan put down his arm that was shielding the smoke and dust, and the prompts on the panel appeared in front of his eyes.

-

[Blast Dragon: [Crown] Beast dragon species, in the hunter world, has the title of "Blast Boxing King".

Explosion Dragon's entire body is covered with hard sapphire blue carapace. Due to long-term exposure to the impact of explosions, these shells have evolved to be very hard and can withstand explosions and magma.

Explosive Dragon has a mallet-shaped horn, front legs and tail, especially its front legs. Unlike other beast dragon species whose forelimbs have been extremely degenerated, Explosive Dragon's forelimbs are extremely developed, forming a columnar structure shaped like a fist. Its actual claws are folded under its fist.

The fists, head horns, and tongue of Explosion Dragon are all green because of the dark green slime mold attached to its body. These slime molds that have a symbiotic relationship with Explosion Dragon only survive in volcanic areas. Once oxidized, they will change from green to yellow. It transforms into red and then produces a strong explosion. It will also explode immediately when subjected to a strong impact. At the same time, the saliva of the explosive dragon can also promote the proliferation of slime mold.

Countless hunters died tragically under the "fist" and "explosion" of the Explosive Dragon. Those who seek to conquer it, beware! 】

-

The [Crown] Shattering Dragon, who has just recovered from his injury, exudes an even more awe-inspiring aura.

A battle between the "Hunter" and the "Monster Boxing Champion" is about to begin!
