Soul of Burning Steel

"Thirty-two percent? This range is much larger than I thought."

The life radiation around Joshua's body rose and shrank, making him, who was still on the ground, like a red sun inlaid on the ground, continuously emitting light and heat to the surroundings. Through this simple and crude induction method, the soldiers also A part of the essence of the power of steel, which is called the world of Grandia by the system, was roughly explored.

If it is said that in the Mycroft Continent, the free energy that overflowed at the beginning of the creation of the world was scattered between the heaven and the earth and existed in the form of elements, then the creation energy in the Grandia world is even heavier. It was condensed into many crystals before, and then buried deep in the earth. Joshua scanned the surroundings with his power, and found many small crystal fragments buried under the forest trees. Most of them came from those who died hundreds of years ago. the strong ones.

Of course, the energy in these crystals will gradually dissipate into the atmosphere as time goes by, turning Grandia into an environment similar to that of Mycroft, but in essence, they are still more 'heavy' forces, The use of these crystals by intelligent life will further speed up the step of dissemination, making the atmosphere full of elemental power, which is why the world of Grandia looks similar to the world of Mycroft today, precisely because The reason why many extraordinary beings absorbed the power of crystals to practice when they were alive, and all their power dissipated in the world after death.

After ascertaining the general situation, Joshua began to tentatively absorb these unique free energies in the atmosphere, and his lungs worked to bring these special element particles into his body, melt them into his flesh and bones, and complete himself .

The warrior at this time had just come from the Mycroft Continent, and the power in his body was still completely from the system of the other side of time and space, which was incompatible with the environment of the Grandia world, so he was suppressed and could only release 32% of his power. But now, with just such a breath, the soldier can clearly see that the system progress bar has begun to loosen, and after a burst of flashing numbers, it has risen to 33%.

——Sure enough.

Seeing this, Joshua couldn't help showing a smile, everything was about the same as he thought. Although he has not fully analyzed the brand new power in this world now, just absorbing and assimilating it with common sense can liberate his own strength a little.

That being the case, there is no need to worry too much.

Standing on the ground, the warrior spread out his arms, as if embracing the world, then he opened his mouth and took a deep breath.

As soon as he took in this breath, there was the sound of thunder. Joshua seemed to suck up all the air around him, swallowing the free energy around him endlessly, and even the naked eye could see the surrounding wind turning into translucent Ripples rushed out centered on the warrior, and countless dots of fluorescence were also gathered, and then they were all sucked into his mouth.

People who eat meat are strong and courageous, people who eat grains are dexterous and intelligent, this is the normal state of the mortal world, but for the extraordinary, except for the flesh and blood of monsters, there is no food that can bring them strength The physical gains or changes, most of them absorb the free energy in the atmosphere to supply the operation of the extraordinary body.

This is the so-called feeding on qi and energy. Joshua has already reached this state, but now, he has a tendency to transcend this state.

The elemental energies of different worlds, no matter how similar they are, still have certain differences in essence. If you swallow these energies rashly, it is likely to cause indigestion, which is a big taboo that most extraordinary people need to scruple about. But Qiao Xiu Ya has no such trend at all. On the contrary, the more he absorbs the power of this world, the more adaptable the warrior's body is, the greater the strength he can exert, the stronger the musculoskeletal, and the evolution towards a higher level.

He is feeding on the essence of this 'world' and this 'world' to improve his understanding of all things, so as to allow himself to achieve the original power of the power of steel.

This is the Eater of Heaven and Earth, and it is also the path that Joshua chose for himself to advance to the legendary stage.

At the same time, Dawei'an and his party were carefully walking out of the Autumn Water Forest, looking at the soldiers on the distant plain.

The current Joshua is devouring the free energy in his body, and the aftermath has even affected the forest several kilometers away. In midsummer, the long green grass has withered and turned yellow in an instant, while the old tree branches that are full of vitality There are also pieces of fallen leaves falling, and the red sun is completely opposite to before. It seems to emit a dead light towards the surroundings, causing everything to go to destruction and end.

"The protection of the ancestors, this..." A capable and strong knight comforted the restless war horse under him, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Was this heroic spirit a certain demon king before his death?!"

He believed that the warrior was a demon king who was buried here in ancient times, and was resurrected as a heroic spirit by the power of the cataclysm.

"No, not necessarily."

Davian glared angrily at first, and shut up the other riders who seemed to want to refute, or were eager to discuss, and then this imposing female knight said softly and cautiously: "Just now this... The power released from his body contains a terrifying breath of life, and those dead shadows will collapse as soon as they encounter sunlight, so they should not be dead shadows."

For a moment, he couldn't think of what to call him, so Davian could only use him instead, but everyone knew who he was referring to.

"It's not a heroic spirit, what is that?" A rider scratched his head, he looked in the direction of the warrior from a distance, then closed his eyes with some fear, he whispered: "How can such a powerful living being Will you come to our backcountry?"

For some reason, the rider dared not look directly at the warrior, even from a distance of several kilometers.

And his statement has also been agreed by many people. Many people also don't understand why such a strong man will come to the remote edge of this continent. Whether he belongs to the dead shadow or those who resist, he should The core battlefield in the center of the mainland or in the southwest is right.

"Let's leave as soon as possible."

After everyone discussed a few words, the female knight who had been thinking for a long time spoke. Davian's complexion was heavy. She restrained the horse under her body, looked around at the riders and people in the carriage, and said in a strict voice: "Although the dead shadows around have been cleared, they will not be completely wiped out. After a while We will be reborn collectively, and if we don’t hurry up and return to the village now, then we will still be in extreme danger.”

This is indeed the case. In the depths of the Autumn Water Forest today, the mist has not completely dissipated. Although it has been severely damaged by the red light, it is rapidly regenerating, and distorted black shadows are also conceived in it, as if it will recover in the next moment .

As for the terrifying existence in the distance... The female knight did not want to contact him at all. The other party was so strong that Dawei'an couldn't bear the slightest thought of communicating.

If the other party has good intentions, that's why they eliminated those dead shadows, it is naturally a good thing among good things, but if the other party just does it casually, and actually doesn't notice their group at all, there will be a great risk in rash contact , as long as they waved at the other side, the entire carriage team might be destroyed.

Even, in Davian's view, this person who emits astonishing light and heat like a red sun and is continuously devouring the surrounding energy is very likely not a good person, and this is not a result of rational judgment The conclusion, but the danger prediction instinctively reminded—in any case, the kind of aura that makes people feel hopeless and irresistible just by looking at it is definitely not something that a kind-hearted person can possess. The other party must have killed it himself. Countless lives have died, and there is an existence possessed by infinite resentment.

All in all, the farther away the better, this strong man indeed saved the life of each of them, and the descendants of the Astoria family will not forget this, but even if they want to repay, they have to wait for them to get the carriage back. After the supplies in the village are safely delivered to the village, after that, killing or cutting is up to the strong man.

Everyone in the carriage team thought it was true, but just when Davian turned the horse's head and was about to continue running along the mountain path towards their destination, an exclamation sounded.

"Sister Dada Dawei'an! It's a big deal, it's a big deal!"

It was still that capable and strong man, this fearless fierce man who fought against Death Shadow before, his tone of voice panicked now, and he even bit his own tongue when he spoke, completely lacking the bravery he had before.

But no one laughed at him, including the female knight whom he called eldest sister.

Because everyone looked behind in horror.

And at this moment, the stumbling male voice echoed in the carriage

"That, that, he, he is here!!"

In the distance, Joshua stopped breathing.

This time, he almost swallowed all the free energy and life force of vegetation within several kilometers.

The huge and complicated energy in Joshua's body was screened and separated step by step by the incomparably pure life force, leaving only a part that the warrior was missing or temporarily unable to understand and analyze, and the rest were all assimilated by his life force , the impurities that cannot be assimilated are completely burned, turned into light and heat, and excreted from the body.

This time, the breath of heaven and earth with all its strength directly pushed Joshua's power liberation from 32% to 37%, an increase of 5%. Instead, try to homogenize your energy with the world as much as possible. When Joshua officially starts the research, there will undoubtedly be a qualitative leap in the progress bar.

But now is not the time to rush to do these things. Studying the nature of the world can be done anywhere. Joshua raised his head, his eyes shot out majestic life radiation, and scanned the surrounding land.

The red light swayed across the entire Autumn Water Forest in an instant, and everything fell into the eyes of the soldiers, including of course the carriage team that was about to turn around and leave.

Nodding in satisfaction, he found his goal.

Taking one step forward, Joshua took the two magic machines suspended behind him and arrived several miles away. His voice was left behind by him, and the warrior led a long vacuum corridor like this, and arrived at the convoy within seconds. in front of.

The fighting spirit around her was turning, and the turbulent wind was pressing down on her. Joshua looked around at the stunned female knight who was the leader, and the panicked riders behind her who seemed to be watching something terrifying, and then spoke in a calm tone. He asked: "Hello, may I ask where is..."

Female knight: "****,******?"

Only after everyone on the other side got off their horses immediately and made a respectful courtesy towards him did Joshua discover a huge problem.

According to the structure of the current Mycroft continental lingua franca, he couldn't understand what the other party's pronunciation and intonation meant.

In layman's terms, it is a language barrier.

"...This is a problem." The soldier looked at the scene in front of him, almost everyone was half kneeling on the ground, not daring to look up, and he couldn't help rubbing his forehead with a headache: "I don't know how to use such a convenient spell as language. ..."

And the other side.

Davian gave up all resistance after seeing that terrifying human-shaped existence arriving in front of the team from several kilometers away within a few seconds.

How to resist? The aftermath of walking on the opposite side can completely wipe out their group. In this situation, they still want to be hostile to the other party. I am afraid that they dared to be so bold because they broke their brains when they were young.

And the female knight's mind is like lightning. She has already noticed that the other party deliberately suppressed the aftermath of her rapid advance, so as not to hurt them. Since she did not kill immediately and showed such obvious goodwill, then this A humanoid that doesn't look like a good person... maybe it really is a good person.

At least not the evil ones.

Davian couldn't help but feel ashamed of her behavior of relying on instinct to judge the good and evil of the other party before, but she still didn't dare to look up at the other's face. To be honest, the female knight felt that the muscles in her neck were sore and weak. She now In fact, I was so frightened that I couldn't move, so I could think about it.

The other riders present were similar. Everyone, including the horses, knelt on the ground. This was not a respectful etiquette, but simply unable to stand up straight due to fright.

Then, they heard this powerful being say a word in a gentle tone.

Joshua: "***********."

Davian replied subconsciously: "I'm sorry, what are you talking about?"

In the next moment, she realized that this strong man did not understand their language!

Could it be that the other party is really an ancient hero, and what ancient language does he speak?

Everyone present also understood this point, but unfortunately they are all riders with knives and guns. If you ask them how to kill and set fire, at least seven or eight different plans will be proposed at that moment. But if you are proficient in ancient linguistics, it is really too difficult for these guys who can't understand the common language of the Grandia continent.

Under Davian's cautious gaze, the unknown strong man on the opposite side frowned, obviously realizing this too. Only then did the female knight see that there were still two huge and incomparably huge swords floating behind her. Weapons, a silver-white giant sword, and a black-gold axe, these two weapons flashed flowing fluorescence, automatically suspended in mid-air, they exuded a frightening bloody aura, as if torn apart The bodies of countless lives drink their blood.

——This aura is coercive, just like the holy sword of the ancestors enshrined in the village.

Swallowing, Davian lowered her head again. Although the other party showed some kindness, no one could confirm whether he was a good person or not, and the female knight dared not say much at all.

But then, a gentle but undeniable force lifted everyone's half-kneeling bodies.

Standing in front of the team, Joshua asked everyone to stand up. He didn't know how to solve the language problem for a while, so he could only go directly to the next step.

"Since there are people, there will be a place to live. This horse team must have hurried back to the gathering place as they drove through the mountains and forests."

The soldier was quick-witted, and he deduced a lot of information from the actions of Davian and his group: "When they saw me, everyone was extremely respectful, which means that extraordinary people like me also exist in this world. Look at this With a skilled appearance, it seems that there are many such existences, or you can see them every day."

The language barrier is only temporary. With Joshua's current level of strength and brain development, it only takes a few days to learn a new language. If someone teaches him, the speed will be even faster. The soldier believes that as long as he follows this group of people to the gathering place of human beings in this world, he will soon be able to know and grasp most of the information of this world.

His body slowly floated in mid-air. Joshua watched the riders below him sit back on their horses in disbelief. They seemed to be hesitating whether to go back to their lair along the same path. If they were stared at by such a strong man In fact, even if their village has a guardian hole card and can fight against soldiers, it will cause a lot of casualties.

The fighter understands this, he waits for the opponent to make a decision

"Hesitating, what are you doing!"

It was Davian who made the first decision. The female knight gritted her teeth and reprimanded: "The Astoria family is not a coward who looks forward and backward, and you all know that it is only a matter of time before he finds our village with his strength. See His previous actions didn’t look like he was going to kill the demon king, so let’s go back like this, anyway—”

Before finishing speaking, everyone nodded silently.

Anyway, the village is not completely defenseless.

So, amidst the shouts, the carriage team resumed its journey, and the soldiers followed naturally, heading for the distance in the darkness.

The wind howled.

On the other side of the mainland, in the extremely dark forest, a girl with red hair and dragon wings suddenly opened her eyes from her sleep.

She looked at herself with some surprise, and began to faintly exude the blue robes, endless thoughts flashed in her heart.

This is the first time since the change of the beam of light, this ancestral robe has revealed its extraordinary features. The cyan light is like a heartbeat, exuding endless sacred power and breath of life.

The girl had a premonition.

This change is not the same as before.

On the other side, Joshua, who was flying in mid-air, raised his right hand thoughtfully, and pressed it to his heart. The Azure Orb was throbbing with an inexplicable throbbing, sending out waves of energy. The pure power of order and vitality, this sacred and gentle aura made the members of the carriage team below him raise their heads from time to time, and their eyes also changed from fear and guard at the beginning to less wary.

The soldier took out the mirror given by Pope Eagle from his pocket.

The light flickered.

The position is west.

Ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month!
