The reason why this happened was naturally not because Lan Xing kept his hand, but because the opponent instinctively protected him more tightly, and the final result was that the area was very conspicuous.

So why did Blue Star still choose to consume after knowing the enemy’s weakness?

The reason is very simple, because Blue Star found that he could not break through the opponent’s defense at all under normal conditions.

Although Blue Star has the talent and growth rate that make countless adventurers envious, but it has only been half a year since he became a hunter, and it has only been three months since he became a family member. It is still a credit to him to have a full LV1 attribute. The ‘great achievements’ he has obtained in repeated commissions, but even so, he is still a LV1 adventurer.

And the dark dryad in front of him, as a monster that even LV2 adventurers have a headache for, he can’t break through the opponent’s defense at all when using ordinary weapons.

Therefore, he had to change his usual fighting style and rely on his own evasion ability and the endurance ability given by the ripples to fight the enemy attrition. Normally, even scraping can kill the opponent alive.

However, as there are more and more puddles on the ground, and the weird mist in the air is getting thicker and thicker, the “blood energy” on the surface of the blue star is finally unable to resist the erosion of the “curse”, which leads to the death of the “personal system”. DEBUFF appeared.

At this time, Blue Star finally realized the existence of the ‘curse’.

“Sure enough, none of the monsters that can appear in the ‘Monster Festival’ are simple…”

Because of the “host”‘s speech before, Blue Star knew that the monster in front of him had the ability to give the enemy a “curse”, but he didn’t expect that this curse ability was not transmitted through spells but through the air.

At the same time, he also noticed that a thin film of light rose from the periphery of the ‘Arena’ at some point, and it was obvious that the Ganesha Familia knew the monster’s ability.

Seeing this, Blue Star couldn’t help but began to reflect on his performance in the previous battle. If he could notice the changes in the field in advance, maybe he could detect the opponent’s ability in advance.

But fortunately, it is not too late.

Instead of continuing to attack, he drew back and temporarily stayed away from the opponent’s attack range.

Many people saw Blue Star’s reaction and thought that Blue Star was going to give up melee combat and use bows and arrows to go guerrilla with the opponent. Among them, many adventurers who had fought against the Dark Dryad shook their heads helplessly, thinking that this behavior was tantamount to slow suicide. But I never thought that at this time, Lan Xing suddenly inserted the short knife in his right hand into the scabbard at his waist, and then made a false grip in the air.

Lan Xing’s sudden movement seemed a bit strange, that’s because only he could see the fate card he crushed at this time, but the subsequent changes in Lan Xing’s body caused everyone present to stare at him.

The “Destiny Card” can only be seen by Lan Xing himself, but the changes in his body cannot be concealed.

The thicker blood mist than before completely covered Lan Xing’s entire body, and the thick blood mist around Lan Xing even overwhelmed the lavender ‘curse mist’, and then everyone saw a figure jumping out of the blood mist. sprang out.

“That’s… Blue Star?”

Hephaestos in the box couldn’t help but muttered a little when she saw Lan Xing at this time, after all, the Lan Xing at this time was really far from her impression.

Although Lan Xing is tall, it is not too exaggerated in a different world where there are various demihuman races. Even when forging with a serious face, it only makes people feel serious, but at this time, he is covered in blood. In the mist, the bright red horns on the top of the head waved the two knives like sharp claws, and Lan Xing, who slammed into the attack range of the dark tree demon, looked like a real beast.

Although Lan Xing looked scary at this time, he was actually very calm. After all, the “Destiny Card” only strengthened his ability to “ghost-humanize” and did not make him lose his mind.

Facing the vines waving towards him again, Lan Xing didn’t use up the vines because he was strengthened. The double knives wrapped in force and ripples slashed down from the monster’s body.

Different from the previous attack that could only leave scars, this time when the two knives fell, a large piece of bark that had already been cut out of wounds cracked.

But Blue Star was not satisfied.

Even with the further strengthening of the physical fitness of the ‘ghost-man’, the sharpness of the weapon in his hand is still a headache, and fortunately he has been using the ‘power of hunting soul’ to attach to the weapon, otherwise I am afraid that at this time it is not only The flick knife might even be a broken weapon

But even that is not enough.

Then he made an unexpected move by everyone present. Facing the vines waving towards him, Blue Star didn’t dodge. Instead, he bit the blades of the double knives with his teeth, and took the opportunity to grab the vines waving towards him.

“Hoo~!”

Seeing Lan Xing’s body flying into the air with the waving of vines, many people showed horrified expressions. After all, Lan Xing’s actions were so unbelievable that they couldn’t even figure out why Lan Xing did this. Even novice adventurers know that they can’t move in the air, and people are almost equal to targets in mid-air.

Unsurprisingly, when Lan Xing let go of his hands on top of the opponent’s head, countless vines also struck…

Chapter 35 Ripple Breathing Method·Double Blade Slash

Facing the vines sweeping towards him, Lan Xing who was in midair remained unmoved at all, and even couldn’t help showing a confident smile at the corner of his mouth hidden in the mask.

Different from the tauren who was completely played by him before, the power of the monster in front of him is very powerful, whether it is the branch and vine that he can’t fully face, or the indestructible bark, or the weird curse ability.

But no matter how strong the opponent is, it can’t change the fact that the opponent is just a monster. The opponent’s killing or predation instinct makes it extremely crazy in battle, but at the same time, it is also easier to guess the opponent’s next move because of this. move.

At this time, the opponent’s counterattack can be said to be within Blue Star’s expectation. Naturally, Blue Star is already ready to go, and the onlookers are all excited.

“Wow~!!”

Accompanied by the sound of vines and branches waving through the air, Blue Star finally fell into the “encirclement net” of the dark dryad. Even as a plant-type monster, the other party couldn’t help but let out a pleasant laugh, as if The hungry beast was finally ready to eat, but at this moment, Lan Xing, who was in mid-air, had fully unfolded his body.

With a wanton smile under the mask, Lanxing twisted his body relying on his strong waist, and at the same time, the two knives in his hand spun along with the centrifugal force of his arms.

“Ghost Dance”

“Stab ~ stab ~”

Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of cutting, the branches and vines that swept towards the blue star like poisonous snakes were completely turned into pieces under the cutting of the sharp blade. Blue Star even adjusted to the most suitable position while using the ‘ghost man empty dance’ to break through the vine defense line.

To threaten the enemy, Blue Star had to break through the enemy’s seemingly ubiquitous vines and branches, as well as the solid bark armor protected by them.

The vines that originally blocked him were completely smashed under a “ghost man empty dance”. The last obstacle for Lan Xing to defeat the enemy is the hard bark!

Normally speaking, it is impossible to threaten the opponent with the double knives that are almost reaching their limit, but the reason why he jumps in the air is not only to induce the enemy to attack him with vines and branches so as to destroy the criminals’ branches and vines at once. It is also to break the enemy’s last line of defense.

“drink!!”

Looking at the dark dryad that was getting closer and closer in front of him, he raised his outstretched arms above his head, and at the same time, accompanied by Lan Xing’s angry shout, the ripples that were almost overdrawn to smash the vines poured into his arms .

Not only that, but the power of the hunting soul covering the body also gathered on the double knives in his hands.

Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer in front of him, Lan Xing swung the two knives straight down without hesitation!

Based on ‘Water Breath · Eight Types · Taki Pot”, combined with Blue Star’s habitual use of double knives and ripple breathing method, he developed his unique move!

“Ripple Breathing Method Double Blade Slash!”

“boom!!”

Almost at the moment of landing, Lan Xing’s knees were slightly bent to rest the excess strength, but even so, he still couldn’t exhaust the strength that almost gathered in his whole body, and his feet stepped out of two small pits on the ground, But Lan Xing stared at the enemy in front of him with his head held high as if he didn’t notice it at all.

Almost at the same time as the blue star landed, the surrounding crowd stopped cheering. Everyone unconsciously stared at the body of the dark dryad, waiting for the final answer.

Everyone chose to wait, but the dark tree demon who was the target of the attack was obviously not interested in it. The only thing it wanted to do at this time was to bury the bastard who dared to hurt itself under its body and turn it into nourishment. While it was waving its remaining thick branches towards the blue star, a surprising scene appeared.

Almost at the same time as the opponent moved, two terrifying cracks appeared on the opponent’s body from top to bottom.

“Crack~!”

Accompanied by the terrifying cracking sound, the solid bark that once made Blue Star sigh for it cracked, and countless debris flew towards Blue Star.

“Oh oh oh!!!”

The people who saw this scene couldn’t help cheering again.

Whether it’s the terrifying mist of curses that was only understood through other people’s explanations, or the solid bark that only left traces of traces under Blue Star’s crazy attack, or the ground that was destroyed in just a few minutes. It is enough to explain the horror of the enemy in front of you.

But precisely because of this, when Blue Star took advantage in an incredible way, everyone couldn’t help cheering.

Compared with a simple victory, this kind of battle that seems to be defeated by the weak is what people are eager to see!

Because in this, they not only saw the strength, but also saw the efforts and struggles of the fighters!

Only then did Blue Star truly breathe a sigh of relief.

The energy arrows shot before have dissipated long ago, but there are still a few small holes in the opponent’s body, and it is no surprise that the arrows he shot before should be embedded in them, and the consumption of the next few minutes is not right at all. Inflicting fatal injuries also made Lan Xing a little distressed. After all, the weakness of the enemy in front of him had been discovered, but his own attack could not break through the defense at all.

This feeling is more helpless than not being able to find a weakness. After all, if you can’t find a representative, you still have a chance, but if you find a failure that you can’t solve, you can only admit your own failure.

But now he used two knives to forcibly ‘pry’ out two gaps in the original solid protection, and what he needs to do next is to continue to expand the results of the battle.

“The battle is over…”

Obviously the dark dryad became more crazy with Lanxing’s attack, but Jian Yulei in the box had already looked away. It was obvious that in his eyes, Lanxing was the final winner.

Whether it is to use air combat to solve the vines and branches blocking oneself at one time, or to use the falling force to strengthen the double swords to break through the enemy’s defense.

Lan Xing’s fighting style is far from that of Jian Yulei, who is used to being tough and tough, but he appreciates Lan Xing’s efforts to never give up even in battle and to defeat the enemy in unexpected ways.

Following Jian Yulei’s words, Hestia, who was originally nervous, couldn’t help showing a smile on her face, while Loki, who was looking down at the battle below with his hands folded, couldn’t help but let out a groan of displeasure.

Different from the ease of the first challenge, the second round of battles with stronger enemies fully demonstrated Blue Star’s strength, especially the final mid-air slash and top-down slash are eye-catching, even Loki also appreciates him very much, but it’s a pity—————

Loki couldn’t help but glanced at Hestia beside him.

Once again showing a displeased expression…

Chapter 36 Final round

Using all his strength to drive the ripples and with the help of the falling force, Blue Star finally opened a crack in the enemy’s solid line of defense, but facing the even crazier Dryad Blue Star, he did not dare to be distracted at all. Finally, amidst the opponent’s screams, he Finally, the bark outside the opponent’s ‘core’ was completely pried open.

Different from the relaxed and freehand style when 7 fought the ‘Raging Tauren’ before, this time Blue Star was really exhausted, but the good news is that his efforts were not in vain.

Although plant-type monsters are slightly inferior to normal monsters in terms of intelligence, when Blue Star used his two knives to touch the opponent’s core, the opponent still chose to give up resistance from the heart, just like a rotten tree. gave up resistance.

As the Ganesha family transported away the surviving ‘Dark Dryad’, the cheers on the scene became more and more enthusiastic.

After all, Lan Xing is the third person who took part in the second round of challenges today and finally completed the challenge.

One of the previous two is Jian Yulei’s family, and the other party’s fighting style is very crisp and neat. Almost the whole process of fighting the enemy with ‘see cut’ and ‘juhe’ can be said to be full of a sense of crisis, while the other is Freya’s family seems to be a hunter, but unlike normal hunters, the weapon used by the opponent is a whip, and they are good at taming wild beasts. The taming process of the opponent can be said to be a real ‘professional’.

Compared with the two of them, although Blue Star also completed the challenge in the end, he looked much more embarrassed. Even the armor that had not been attacked much, because of the corrosion of the ‘cursed mist’, it looked as if it had come from the cellar. Relics unearthed from the mines generally become dilapidated.

There is no doubt that it can be seen that Blue Star is slightly inferior to the two LV2 adventurers who completed the challenge in terms of hard power, but people don’t care about this at all. After all, no matter what method Blue Star uses, it has proved itself.

It can even be said that it is precisely because Blue Star is weak that it is even more eye-catching when defeating the enemy.

But at this moment, Lan Xing made an unexpected movement, he actually raised his right hand again.

Lan Xing’s actions not only stunned the audience, even the Ganesha family who was in charge of the host were unconsciously stunned for a moment.

But fortunately, it was only a moment’s pause to react to the convenience.

Not only that, but he also loudly explained to everyone the rules that he had said countless times.

“The Blue Star player chose to challenge again. According to the rules of the ‘Monster Festival’, the first challenge will face elite monsters of the same level as himself, while the second challenge will face ordinary monsters that are one level higher than himself. Monster, as for the third time, I will face elite monsters one level higher than myself…”

It is obvious that the other party is trying to mobilize people’s emotions by showing the ‘difficulty’ that Blue Star will face.

It’s just that this time it is obvious that the other party is not needed to mobilize the atmosphere. After all, it has been several years since the last time someone challenged for the third time.

Ganesha has held the “Monster Festival” for decades. Except for the first few sessions where people frequently tried to challenge the third time, after that, no one would try to challenge it almost every few years. After all, the difficulty of the challenge It is too big.

There is no doubt that no one who has the guts to challenge for the third time is weak. After all, the weak cannot complete the second round of challenges, but even geniuses have their limits.

Although there is no clear classification of monsters in other worlds in games, there are differences among monsters. For example, the “lord” guarding each floor is the most powerful monster, but monsters of this level are very It is rare for someone to fight alone, and basically a few adventurers will fight together.

Of course, the Ganesha family of monsters of this level cannot safely bring them out of the dungeon. The so-called elite monsters also refer to those special individuals who are stronger than monsters of the same class, and most of them have the ability to dominate monsters of the same family.

In fact the previous ‘Rampaging Tauren’ was even scarier in the dungeons, as its madness would affect other Tauren companions and drive them mad as well.

But if it is really necessary to make it this difficult, then what Ganesha will hold is not a ‘Monster Festival’ but a ‘Challenge Festival’.

But even elite monsters often require adventurers of the same level to spend a lot of effort. Being able to leapfrog the battle is enough to show the strength of an adventurer, but after two rounds of monster consumption, it is difficult to tame an elite monster that is one level higher than oneself. Know.

It’s not that no one can achieve it, but those who can achieve it will not choose to do it in public. After all, although the Ganesha family is rich, most of the rewards given to the winners of the ‘Monster Sacrifice’ are those that can be spent. something to buy.

People with this strength are basically not short of money, and there is no need for them to expose their hole cards for money.

To put it simply, Ganesha did not give enough, but it is obvious that Ganesha is not an idiot, so it is naturally impossible to take the initiative to increase the reward.

And as the strength increases more, the awareness between each level will be greater, which is why low-level adventurers are favored, because the gap between adventurers and monsters has not been widened.

But even so, after so many years, no one can complete the third round of the challenge, which is enough to show the difficulty of the challenge.

But in any case, someone is willing to challenge this record that has never been challenged in decades, no matter what the final outcome is, it is something to be encouraged.

Whether it was the melon-eaters or adventurers from other families, they gave Blue Star applause.

At the same time, while the dark dryad whose bark had been basically removed from its core was transported away by the special capture cage, Blue Star on the other side also communicated with the staff of the Ganesha Familia, and then watched Arrived a large weapons rack was shipped out.

Because of the restrictions of the ‘Monster Sacrifice’, all challengers must use the weapons provided by the government. Even the Blue Star who has the skill of ‘Forging’ must use the materials allowed by the other party to make weapons under the supervision of the ‘Ganesha Familia’ before they are allowed to Used in ‘Monster Sacrifice’.

Because Blue Star considered his own fighting style, he discussed switching weapons with the Ganesha Familiars. The other party said that as long as the standard weapons were used at will, Blue Star simply asked the other party to bring the weapon rack over.

Looking at the dozens of weapons on the weapon rack, Lan Xing couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The weapon in his hand was almost at its limit. If he didn’t have a weapon, he might have to continue to expose his cards.

Now it seems that it is not necessary.

As the ‘weapon rack’ was transported to the arena, Blue Star’s enemy finally appeared on the other side, but with the opponent’s appearance, Blue Star’s expression became a little subtle.

Although still in the channel, the dragon’s blood in Lan Xing’s body became active unconsciously.

Could it be that……
