Volume Eight Internship Tasks Chapter Seven Night Demon Basin
At night in Central Azeroth, the sky is shrouded in a layer of gray mist, which can easily make people feel depressed due to the scene. Hence the name Sad Place.
But tonight is an exception. The gray mist has dispersed. It shines brightly, hanging in the sky of the universe. It throws its brilliance unstintingly into the sad place.
Under this rare moonlight, a fierce battle is going on in Azeroth.
The battle location is a basin in the center of the extremely dangerous area. This basin is surrounded by peaks on all sides. In the middle is a spacious open space comparable to the size of Starrs Square in the sanctuary. This open space is the battlefield.
The fighting party is humans, naturally the people from Group A of the Holy Academy Internship Mission. What they are hostile to is a magical beast with a body like a unicorn and a body made of stones.
The name of this kind of monster is the Night Demon. The Night Demon only comes out and move at night. It lurks under the basin during the day and runs to the ground at night to absorb the essence of the moonlight. The Gaden Basin happens to be the place where they move most frequently.
The ground in the open space was covered with large rocks and was so flat that there was no shelter. All the team members could do was to form an arc-shaped circle with their backs on the mountain, and protect the priest Athena and the magician Cecil in the center.
The team members have already known the information about Night Demon to their heart's content. Stone-type monsters can absorb moonlight essence to replenish their strength.
The Night Demon is a relatively ferocious guy in Azeroth, but compared to the mongoose that everyone captured alive in the mission a few days ago, I don't know how much worse it is. The problem is, besides being large in number, these guys have one thing.
It is the most difficult place to deal with.
A night demon opened its mouth and rushed forward. Their eyes shone like the moon, and the sharp claws on their claws were nearly a foot long. The stone teeth in their mouths were jagged and saw-toothed, which was quite terrifying.
Of course, Xia Houjin would not be afraid of facing it. Amidst the faint thunder, the Thunder Fist violently blasted out, blasting the night demon into pieces. Stones flew everywhere.
The problem is. The Night Demon's broken body was reassembled again, and it didn't take long for him to be full of life again.
This is the point that gives the team members the biggest headache - where there are enough rocks, the Night Demon can be reborn. Over and over again!
The ground in this clearing was full of boulders, and Aubrey did not allow the team members to lure Night Stalker out of the basin.
However, every time the Night Demon is reborn, it must lose a certain amount of power.
Therefore, the only way to completely kill them in the basin is to consume all their power, including the power of rebirth, by hitting them again and again. Only in this way can they be truly dead.
This is a purely tough battle. What tests the students' perseverance.
"Too bad, Azeroth doesn't see the moon a few times a month. Why is it this night? It's still a full moon!" Xia Houjin complained. Night demons can absorb moonlight essence to replenish their demonic power. The brighter the moonlight, the brighter the moon.
Good. It means that the faster the Night Demon recovers, the more difficult the task will be.
Even though Xia Houjin has amazing powers, his arms are a little sore and numb at the moment. After all, the Night Demon's body is made of stone, not cotton. It's better to blast them to pieces once or twice. The problem has been solved hundreds of thousands of times now.
It is too difficult to destroy them. If there are only three or two, it is fine if the team members attack them together. The problem is that the night demons come in groups. There are at least hundreds of them in the basin, and those who are besieged become group A.
people.
Compared to Xia Houjin, Jiang Yajing was even worse. Charge and defense were both strong points of the knights. Therefore, she and Xia Houjin had to stand in front of the team with the most night demons. After experiencing one wave after another, the tiger's mouth felt faintly.
It hurts.
After stabbing two more Night Demons in succession, Jiang Yajing could no longer hold on to her spear, and it fell out of her hand under the force of the shock and fell to the ground. Seeing this, the Night Demons behind them seized the opportunity and followed closely.
He rushed towards Jiang Yajing.
At this time, an extremely thick vine emerged from the ground like a green dragon emerging from the sea, wrapped up a few night demons, and took them into the air. Then they fell down hard and turned into pieces.
A small vine rolled up the spear and handed it to Jiang Yajing.
"Ya Jing, you retreat to the flank for now, I'll be on top here!" It was Duanmu Xi who spoke. The thick vine just now is a plant that has been transformed by Shenmu's fighting spirit, and the Duanmu family's tyrannical skill "Raging Dragon Unearthed".
After saying this, Duanmu Xi couldn't help but pull Jiang Yajing to the flank, and then stood in front of where Jiang Yajing was originally.
In front of Jiang Yajing, Duanmu Xi has always been a gentle and gentle person, and the domineering toughness he occasionally shows is also a manifestation of concern. Jiang Yajing's heart is sweet and she obeys the words. She really needs to rest now.
Jiang Yajing knew Duanmuxi's strength very well. Even if the wood students were not as good at impact as the knights, Duanmuxi would still use his skills to do the first line of defense.
Duanmuqing uses the same skill as her brother. This trick is the most effective against night demons.
Lang Qi has used the animal trainer's advanced skill "Fusion Technique" to combine with his pet beast Ning Xiang and the lightning marten. This allows him to rely on Ning Xiang's power and the speed of the lightning marten to a certain extent. It's barely possible.
Hold it on the front.
Combining two pet beasts is already Lang Qi's ultimate skill. He will not be able to use the fusion technique again for about two days. If it is not the last mission and it is very difficult, he will not use it.
Dugufeng's swordsmanship is still so sharp. Although it is tepid, he can always dismember the Night Demon from its most vulnerable joints like a butcher dismembering a cow. The energy consumption should be the least among all. Of course, this is also a highly difficult technique.
Although the joints are the Night Demon's weak point, the problem is to find a small gap when it moves at high speed. It requires Dugu Nine Swords.
There is another person who is not afraid of spending power, and that is Gu Yao. Because he absorbs and replenishes power faster than he consumes it. However, Gu Yao does not dare to overuse, especially the skills of Tianmo Jue. Otherwise, it will easily cause
out of control.
The warrior Mo Qi doesn't have the brute strength of Xia Houjin or the merged Di Lang Qi. He also doesn't have the skills of Duan Mu Xi, Dugu Feng and others, so he can only fight against the Night Demon by constantly slashing with Qi Circle.
Carlo completely acted as a pseudo-magician in this battle, constantly making magic props, and working with Cecil Dongfang Lu to cover the team members on the outside with powerful firepower.
Priest Athena is not easy either. She treats her team members almost continuously. She adds agility to Xiahou Jin and Mo Qi, while some team members add recovery skills to speed up their natural recovery of power.
He Lianjian is very hard-working. Although he sometimes affects the harmony and unity of the team members, he is blameless in the task. He Lianjian is a person who cares about face. You must know that he always accuses others of their mistakes to avoid being blamed.
He was ridiculed instead. He always strived to do his best on the court.
No matter how bad the reputation is, there is no doubt about the strength of Helianjian. After one semester in the Holy Academy, illusion has initially entered the stage of turning reality into reality and can forcibly change the space. That is what the old witch Deborah organized at the academy ceremony.
The skill he showed in the fierce fight with Xia Houjin.
When there are too many night demons swarming up and beyond the controllable range, Helianjian will use space transfer to take some of the night demons to a distance, effectively solving the team's dilemma. However, this trick consumes a lot of money. Unless necessary,
.The Helian Sword cannot be cast.
This was an arduous battle. Facing these undead monsters, the people on the outside were more or less injured. The people in the center were exhausted from using magic skills, props, hidden weapons or assistance, and were sweating profusely, but a
The people in the team have the confidence to win, which is built up through mission after mission.
Confidence is also a kind of power. If a person lacks confidence, he may only be able to exert 60% to 70% of his power. But when he is full of confidence, he may exert 100% or even 120% of his super level.
The brilliance of the eyes of the night demons gradually dimmed and was not as bright as it was at the beginning. This shows that after being reborn again and again, their power has also weakened a lot. At the same time, a large dark cloud drifted by, blocking the full moon.
The basin suddenly became much darker. In this way, the Night Demon's replenishment through the moonlight was slower.
Even God was helping Group A, and everyone was in high spirits. They intensified their attacks. Another half hour passed. A night devil failed to regroup after being broken. It became a pile of lifeless rubble. The pair of eyes were completely lost.
Without the brilliance, even the power of rebirth is gone.
Other night demons also died one after another, and soon only nearly half of the active night demons were left on the field, and most of them had dim eyes. Death was not far away.
Everyone was close to overdraft. However, the dawn of victory supported them. Confidence also became the source of strength.
A night devil pounced towards Duanmu Qing. It was at the end of its power, its eyes were only dimly lit, and it only needed to die one more time. It was finished.
At this time, Di Duanmu Qing had no spare power to use "Raging Dragon Unearthed" to swing out the rose whip.
This was just an ordinary attack and defense. No one noticed it, but an accident happened suddenly.
I don’t know if Duanmu Qing was close to running out of gas, or if the night demon was coming back. The night demon actually grabbed the rose whip and dragged it hard. Instead, it pulled Duanmu Qing far away and broke away from the team.
.
Upon seeing this, the other night demons also gave up and rushed towards Duanmu Qing, who was alone in the field. Although there were many members in the team, she was now isolated and helpless, surrounded by the night demon group in the center.
In her current state, she definitely cannot deal with so many Night Demons at the same time.
The incident happened suddenly. None of the team members could react in time. They were shocked when they saw it. Duanmuxi was the first to rush out.
In normal times, this kind of reckless behavior would never be allowed. However, rules are not a dead end. You have to adapt to emergency situations. Besides, the current Night Demon has only one breath left, even if he fights alone and gives up the defensive circle.
No problem. The immediate priority is to save Duanmu Qing first.
So Dugu Feng immediately gave up her guarding position, and her sword merged into one, turning into a gigantic sword that was 10 feet tall. It shot towards the night demons. During the war, she was one of the few people who could rely on the superb skills of Dugu Nine Swords.
By reducing the power consumption to a minimum, you can still recruit powerful enemies.
Others used long-range skills one after another, hoping to interfere with Night Demon's actions. Try to give Duanmu Qing some help.
It's a pity that the night demons completely ignored the attacks from Duanmu Xi and others behind them. Only Duanmu Qing, who was languishing on the ground, was left in their eyes. They rushed over overwhelmingly, and their eyes once again glowed with dazzling white light. They instantly returned to their peak state. This was the moment of death.
In the final blow, they must drag a damn human along with them on the road to hell.
Even Dugu Feng, who combines man and sword, couldn't arrive in time. Even if he could kill several night demons, Duanmu Qing would probably have to encounter misfortune first.
"Xiaoqing!" Dongfang Lu and Duanmuxi were very anxious when they saw this. But they could only watch her helplessly dancing alone among the night demons.
At this moment, a figure crossed Dugu Feng extremely quickly, penetrated into the group of night demons, and picked up Duanmu Qing from the ground.
Night Demon's encirclement was also formed at the same time. It was everywhere. Even Dugu Feng couldn't find a flaw. In other words, the two people in the encirclement were probably in danger.
Of course Dugu Feng hoped that her judgment was wrong, but unfortunately she was too confident in her own vision. Even if it were her, she would not be able to survive the final blow of so many night demons, let alone Duanmu Qing.
The man who desperately rushed into the group of night demons shot out a black line. The power of the black line was so strong that it smashed three night demons that were at their peak in an instant.
In an instant, a gap appeared in the encirclement. This gap was fleeting, but the black shadow followed a strange rhythm and indescribable steps. It circled between the night demons like a ghost, and finally miraculously emerged.
Breaking out of the siege.
Even Dugu Feng only felt that this kind of footwork was extremely mysterious, but he couldn't explain why it was so mysterious. He didn't even know how the user did it.
After the group of night demons lost their target, their last attack failed, and their eyes suddenly dimmed completely. The impact of Dugu Feng's combined swords instantly turned a dozen of them into rubble that could not be reorganized. Duanmuxi followed behind him.
.Kill out the rest one by one.
Then their eyes, including those of other team members, all fell on the person who brought Duanmu Qing out at the very moment Qianjun asked. They could not hide their surprise.
Of course, this person is Gu Yao. When he saw Duanmu Qing in danger, he no longer had any scruples. He got into the group of night demons and used the instant prison finger and the ghost step he had just realized to create opportunities to rescue Duanmu.
clear.
After the cooperation last month, everyone knew that Gu Yao was very good at Qinggong, but they never expected that he was so good. Especially the last step. It was really wonderful.
First, he killed the bull with one punch a few days ago. And now he displays his extremely penetrating black line and his unpredictable footwork. This student always seems to have many secrets hidden in him.
Even Xia Houjin and Carlo looked at Gu Yao up and down, feeling that it was necessary to get to know him again.
Putting Duanmu Qing down, Gu Yao took a deep breath and walked aside, trying his best to suppress the chaotic and rampaging fighting spirit in his body.
Duanmuxi couldn't help but look at Gu Yao a few more times, then walked quickly to Duanmuqing and said with concern: "Xiaoqing, are you not injured?"
Duanmuqing nodded: "It's okay, brother."
Although there was an accident, the mission was finally completed without any danger. Everyone cleaned up the mess and found all the eyes of the night demons in the venue and picked them up. These eyes were condensed by stone essence. They are also the core of the night demons. Mission
thing.
The trip to Azeroth that lasted for last month has come to an end. All tasks have been completed successfully. You can go back to the academy tomorrow to enjoy the remaining ten days of vacation.
Feeling relaxed and deeply feeling that they had gained a lot, the team members walked back to the camp happily. Xiahoujin and Morich even sang a song. Both of them have male voices and are tone-deaf. However, everyone listened with great pleasure.
When you laugh heartily, everything seems to be wonderful when you are in a good mood.
Gu Yao walked at the end of the team. He didn't want anyone to see his trembling hands. The mission was over. But his heart was very heavy because the crux that had been bothering him had not been solved. On the contrary, it had become more serious.
Duanmu Qing quietly slowed down and fell behind. Seeing this, Dongfang Lu did not stop her this time. After all, Gu Yao had just saved Duan Muqing, so it was appropriate for her to say thank you.
In the end, Duanmu Qing and Gu Yao walked side by side. Then she said something that almost made Gu Yao's fighting spirit, which had finally calmed down, become chaotic again.
"I know it's you. It's absolutely true! At midnight, I will wait for you near the Stone of Sorrow in the woods east of Kaili Town. I'll wait until you come, see you there!"
