Lord Highlander

  Chapter 679 668. Advanced

  A black smoke column shot up into the sky, and another oasis was wiped out by Suldak in the desert.

   Maybe an oasis will reappear here in a few years, maybe it will be completely swallowed by yellow sand, but at least in the last few years, it is impossible for this place to become a livable place.

In order to protect the barren land from sand robbers, Suldak wanted to clear the desert into an uninhabited buffer zone. At least there should be no bandit habitat in this desert, otherwise they would always die in winter. Whenever I hide here, when I come to this remote place, I will think of a group of unarmed and weak villagers living in the barren land.

  They are wolves, and looting is the natural law of the desert for these sand bandits.

  The sand bandits occupy the upper reaches of the food chain. They not only collect food from the villagers, but also pick young people from the villagers to join them when they are short of manpower. This is how the sand bandits have lived for so many years.

   Calculated, the population of the entire barren land probably will not exceed 2,500 people.

  This time, Suldak was on the edge of the desert in the barren land, killing more than a thousand sand robbers alone.

  In fact, these sand thieves do not live here all year round. Most of the sand thieves come here to escape the long winter.

They were expelled from the central area of ​​the desert, and they could only hide on the edge of the barren land with scarce resources to recuperate. When the weather warmed up, they might try to cross a large desert, or enter the Pagros Mountains, or sneak into Salwar The vast grasslands in the south of the province, in order to strengthen its own strength, made a comeback in the desert.

  Their supplies do not mainly rely on the barren land, the products here simply cannot support so many sand pirates.

Sand bandits often plunder the nomads in Salta Province, and also harass the mountain people in the middle of the Pagros Mountains. They come here just to rely on a small desert oasis to spend the cold winter. people bother.

  Occasionally, they would come out to raid on sunny days, so the villagers in the barren land became their plundering targets.

The sand bandits never thought that the vagrants and poor villagers in the barren land would be organized into an army, let alone that this army without any training would suddenly rush into the edge of the desert and fight with them. A group of mercenaries joined forces to wipe out the bandits here, and they didn't even have any precautions...

   Baron Suldak became the sheriff of the barren land. Some sand robbers have heard of it, but they don't pay much attention to it. Of course, most sand robbers have never even heard of the name Suldak.

This year, the sand bandits who were expelled from the center of the desert still choose to spend the winter on the edge of the desert. Although they have stockpiled some supplies for the winter, they still occasionally plunder in the barren land. Perhaps this has become their habit, after all, no one will too much money...

And now, in just half a month, the name 'Baron Suldak' has almost become a nightmare in the ears of all the bandits on the border of the desert—he not only kills people, but even destroys the land on which the sand bandits rely. An oasis of survival.

  All the sand bandits who wanted to fight Suldak suffered a lot, and many leaders of the sand bandits failed to leave the battlefield alive.

  Suldak's army is unstoppable in the desert...

  …

  Selena sat lazily on the white camel, wearing a white fur cloak around her body. Under the winter light, her face still looked strangely pale.

A thick blanket was draped over the camel's back. Although the desert was cold and windy, she felt warm lying on the blanket. From time to time, Suldak would come to her on horseback and chat with her. The last two sentences.

  Selena suddenly felt that such a day was not bad, at least she could see the outside world.

Her skin is Saixue, her blue eyes are like the clear sweet pool on the sweet water oasis, and her **** lips are slightly upturned. She has been enduring the backlash of darkness in the past few days. At night, she invoked the dark power beyond her own ability, causing the dark power in her body to be extremely disordered. After a few days of cultivation, she was much better.

  She likes the caring eyes of Suldak, and she likes that on such a lonely journey, he would come to say a few words from time to time.

  Even a greeting like 'Is it cold' or 'Tired or not' made her feel very happy.

  She looked forward to the soldiers quickly setting up the camp at sunset, and he carried her into the tent. Outside the tent was blowing a northerly wind and snow, but inside the tent was rolled by waves...

   They walked for nearly half a month, but they still haven't left the southern edge of the desert. This desert is much bigger than everyone thought.

  The sand bandits here are like a swarm of locusts. No matter where Suldak's army goes, the sand bandits will swarm and scatter.

  In the end, they can only destroy the oasis they depend on for survival and drive them back to the depths of the desert.

  …

  Viru sat on the dune, looking at the sky after the sunset, like a sky on fire.

  He knew exactly who dominated the battlefield that night.

It wasn't Suldak and his two hundred veterans in heavy armor, nor Captain Gabriel and his brave mercenaries, nor himself who hid in the dark and could only shoot cold arrows, but the one who rode The white camel woman, I never thought she was a magician...

He touched the scorching bow in his hand, and the warmth flowed into his body with his arms. After eating salamander meat for so many days, Viru finally possessed the affinity of the fire element. The fire element that originally flowed through the body was like hot magma. , and now those fire elements are more like a hot spring that can nourish the body. These days, every time he fights, he seems to be able to break through that barrier and enter a brand new world.

  But he always suppressed the restlessness in his body at critical moments.

  He found that every time he entered that state, it was a tempering of his body, just like exercising the impurities in the body and making the power in the body more pure.

  The last few times, he has used the Hawkeye's "Earth Vision" to look around the desert, and found that the distance of peeping has been significantly enhanced.

   Showing his 'potential', the sharp arrow floating behind him became more and more clear, and he could even see the mysterious magic lines on the shaft of the arrow.

   There seems to be a kind of vitality in his body, which makes him feel the power of the law of this world.

Suldak walked up the dune, leaving a row of clear footprints on the snow. Under the dune, the veterans of the cavalry battalion and the reserve knights of the guard battalion were busy setting up tents. At this moment, they learned to cooperate with each other and built a tent on the sand. An off-white tent.

  He sat beside Viru, watching the sunset in the distance.

After Suldak possessed the dragon's larynx, his body built a bridge with the magical elements outside. Although he couldn't mobilize the power of those elements around him, he could clearly feel them. At this moment, he saw Viru's side Surrounded by a lot of fire clouds and vindictiveness.

  Of course, he can't have this kind of vision all the time. In that case, Suldak estimated that he would go crazy in a short time.

"Do you occasionally have a very mysterious feeling? It's like being in a river of elements, with countless elements flowing slowly past us?" Suldak asked Viru, his His eyes fell into the distance.

"Why...you also have this level of comprehension?" Viru had never seen Suldak wearing the magic pattern structure, and thought he had insufficient carrying capacity, so he never thought that Suldak would be a peak-level period knight.

   "Beside me, what I can feel the most is the holy light." Suldak said with a smile to Viru.

  Viru turned his head to look at Suldak's resolute side face, and couldn't help but ask, "When did you feel the power of the Holy Light?"

"Warsaw plane, that time I was carried out from Lei Tingxi's footprints. When I woke up, I found myself lying in a tent. At that time, all I could do every day was to lie in the tent and endure the severe pain, listening to the outside world. All kinds of voices, waiting for those soldiers to return to the tent to feed me, and occasionally I can feel some points in my body slowly awakening, then I can feel the power of the holy light in my body..." Suldak He whispered his complete memories.

  Viru reached out and pulled Rasuldak's collar, and saw the burn scars spreading from his neck.

   "Then you..." Viru's eyes were like sharp arrows.

Suldak turned his head with a smile, and said frankly to Viru: "Since then, I have two completely different memories, and all memories are fragmented pictures for me, like some It’s like a relief scroll, but I still have a vague memory of some profound things, I think this may be the new life bestowed on me by the gods, so I am no longer obsessed with looking for the past, people are destined to look forward when they live, aren’t they?”

  Viru asked Suldak: "So... you came here and became the famous Baron Suldak in the barren land..."

  Suldak nodded and said: "These are all promises made during the meeting in Warsaw. This may be another form of continuation of his life."

  Viru clenched his fists, stared at Suldak and asked, "So you are no longer the Janbach I am looking for, are you?"

"Not any more."

   After finishing speaking, Surdak stood up and walked down the dune without looking back.

  …

  Viru only felt that the last bit of obsession in his heart had disappeared, and there was no longer any power to restrain his thoughts in his spiritual consciousness.

The qi in his body seemed to form a barrier, like a transparent egg around his body, the power that had been suppressed for a long time in his body turned into a frantic storm that destroyed his body, and at the same time, countless powerful vitality was blowing His body surged majesticly, allowing his body to heal quickly, and every cell in the healed body contained new power.

Countless fire elements gathered between his hands, both hands and the scorching bow ignited scorching flames, he stood on the top of the sand dune, as if he could kill Suldak in front of him with a single arrow, his breath strengthened little by little, The phantom of the huge arrow behind him swelled as if it were the trunk of a towering old tree.

  The sea of ​​spiritual knowledge continued to spread outwards, and he realized the power of some of the most basic laws of this world, which are also the origin of this world.

  The bandages wrapped around the body were constantly breaking apart under the strong vitality.

  The dark wounds originally deposited on his body quickly dissipated under the powerful vitality.

Standing on the sand dunes, he saw the gate of another world. He knew that it was the gate of the elemental world. Magicians need to push open the gate of the elemental world and find a contract partner in the elemental world. With an elemental contract partner, Only by using the body of the elemental contract partner as a bridge can we absorb more magic elements from this world.

   As for fighters, they need to temper themselves. When their bodies reach a certain strength, their bodies can become a bridge to contact external forces, absorb the surrounding non-attribute elements, and become fighting spirit in their bodies.

  Suddenly these two situations appeared on Viru at the same time...

  His body was reborn under the powerful vitality, and at the same time, a door to the elemental world appeared in front of him.

So without the slightest hesitation, he directly pushed open the door of the elemental world with both hands, and walked into that strange world facing many grotesque elemental life forms. Then they scattered and fled, only some tiny fire elves like dancing flames fluttered around Viru, like butterflies.

  Viru looked at the fragile fire elemental elves, but ignored them.

   After entering the elemental world, he realized that he could not stay in this world for too long. He had to find a contract partner within a limited time, and then return to the original world as soon as possible, otherwise his body would dissolve in this world.

  Walking into the depths of the elemental world, he saw a group of firebirds covering the sky and flying all over the sky. These firebirds, the size of sparrows, landed on his shoulders one after another, and their ruby-like eyes stared at him curiously.

  Although Viru was a little moved, he still didn't reach out to communicate with them.

He intends to continue walking into the elemental world. This world seems to be a road with no end in sight. Those elemental elves who are repelled by the body have disappeared without a trace. Only groups of weak fire elemental elves are attracted by him. , There are also some colorful umbrella-shaped mushrooms on both sides of the road, and those are static shapes formed by the power of elements.

  He shuttled among countless fire elemental elves, looking for his contract partner.

  At this time, he suddenly felt that his body began to melt continuously, and the door to the elemental world behind him opened again. He knew that he should leave, otherwise he would be melted away by the power of the elemental world law.

Just when he was considering whether to take away a fire bird surrounded by him, he suddenly saw a fire snake flying by his side like an afterimage. Holding the Fire Snake in his hand, watching the Fire Snake spiral upwards along his arm, Viru didn't dare to stay in the elemental world anymore, stepped out of the Elemental Gate, and returned to the sand dune.

And the fire snake he grabbed disappeared the moment he stepped out of the gate, all the bandages on his arm were turned into ashes, and the arm with some blue scales quickly transformed, and after the scales fell off one after another, it turned into ashes. A bronze-colored strong arm, but a fire snake with wings spread out is impressively tattooed on the arm, and those flame textures are constantly glowing with light.

  Viru stood on the sand dunes and looked at the world in front of him again. Although the surrounding scenery remained unchanged, the world in his eyes was completely different.

The fire snake magic pattern on the arm began to absorb the fire element in the air, and the whole arm turned red. Viru took a bow and shot an arrow. The moment the arrow left the scorching bow, it turned into a flying fire snake in the air. …
