Chapter 3425: Weeping Blood's Trap
"Grandfather!"
Seeing Elder Harald casting spells while injured like this, Claire was quite worried, but she just shouted in her heart and stayed in the air with Xia De without going down.
After casting the spell, Elder Ursa supported Elder Harald. Because Emilia had little combat experience, she actually looked back at the ground at this moment, but the twelve-ring diviner had very experienced combat experience:
"Be careful, the battle is not over yet!"
The ice layer on the surface of the sea of blood shattered into ice powder the moment the diviner's voice hadn't fallen. The next moment, the monstrous blood water came to them again.
But at this moment, scorching light appeared from their side, and then a giant orange-yellow light ball as hot as the sun was thrown over.
"Strange Art-Eternal Blazing Sun!"
The light of the sun evaporated the blood water, and after colliding with the sea of blood head-on, it directly melted a big hole in the center of the sea of blood. Then the "sun" exploded in the sea of blood, and even Ellie and Little Liana were blown away in the air by the shock wave of the explosion.
But after the light and heat that seemed endless disappeared, the gurgling sound of flowing water appeared again.
The sea of blood had indeed been evaporated, but it also exposed the secret hidden in the sea of blood. "Weeping Blood" Hermons stood on a giant skull, and that skull was not a giant's skull, but was pieced together by thousands of human skulls.
Claire's full-strength blow evaporated the sea of blood, but did not hurt that skull. At this moment, blood was flowing out from the pitch-black eye sockets and mouth of the giant skull, and the blood water that had just been sprinkled all over the snow mountain was also gathering here again.
The thirteen-ring life ring behind the long-unseen "Weeping Blood" turned slowly, and blood light clung to his life ring. This is a sign of full-strength spellcasting.
Speaking of which, Xia De heard that he would appear every time there was a big event last year, but in fact, the last time he saw him personally was the matter in Randall Valley at the beginning of last year. Compared to a year ago, this thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi who had been injured and escaped repeatedly looked much younger. His appearance was about thirty years old, looking younger than the doctor.
He was not panicked at all because his sea of blood was evaporated. Standing on the skull, he looked at the witch who flew from the side. Reaching out and pointing, two blood lights shot toward Claire from the eye sockets of the giant skull that was still bleeding.
It was just a flash of sword light, and Xia De, who was spinning in the air, caught the two blood lights, turned around and turned them into blood-colored lightning clinging to the sword, and then returned them back:
"Principle of Regression!"
The strange art that the semi-god big witch is most proud of, even a thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi dare not easily take it hard. Even if this is his own power, "Weeping Blood" Hermons still let the remaining blood water form a shield around himself. Then the scarlet lightning hit the sea of blood with a roar. Although it failed to completely break the defense of the thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi, the giant skull retreated dozens of meters in the air before stopping, and was almost smashed into the mountain by the impact.
The man standing on the skull looked at Xia De who was holding a moonlight great sword, and was about to say something, but saw the giant ship appearing in the sky from the direction of the pier from the corner of his eye. The woman standing on the bow whose appearance could not be seen raised her hand and shot a beam of light. The barrier composed of blood still wanted to block it like just now, but the beam directly pierced through the blood layer, and then left a deep crack on the skull of the giant skull.
The twelve-rank Xivi, although she did not have the level of thirteen rings, but thanks to the advantage of dual professions and the restraint of light on evil, the big witch in the peak state of twelve ranks was not necessarily an opponent of Weeping Blood.
Hermons knew that he would have no chance if he didn't act. Before that ship officially entered the battlefield, the giant skull that looked clumsy hit Xia De.
It reached Xia De's front almost instantly, and the giant mouth flowing with blood covered Xia De's body. But since the other party dared to approach, Xia De was not polite. The giant moonlight wheel instantly cast above his raised right hand did not have the power of the accumulation state, but the moonlight wheel of dozens of meters collided with the skull at close range, cutting along the crack just hit by Xivi like a rotating saw, until the skull was cut open obliquely.
So the giant skull scattered into tens of thousands of skulls, and Weeping Blood, with a thirteen-ring life ring floating behind him, jumped down from the top of the skull. Xia De originally thought he wanted to fight him at close range, and Xia De even thought about how to deal with this thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi, but he didn't expect that the other party turned into a blood light and escaped directly.
"He every time... hmm?"
So everyone in the sky and on the snow mountain ground saw the skulls flying in the air surrounding Xia De. The imprisonment of space made Lagley's jump temporarily invalid, so in the heavy Whispering Elements, tens of thousands of skulls exploded into a group of scarlet blood light in the air, and the thick smell of blood made Emilia even feel suffocated.
And when the twelve-ring diviner dispelled the blood mist, and the Glorious Messenger also flew near, there was nothing in the air.
"Whispering Elements... spatial transfer."
The Chosen One of Time captured the traces of forced spatial movement, waved his tree staff lightly, and the red mist that had just dispersed gathered again. Then Xia De's blurred figure appeared in the thin mist. Emilia, Claire, and Xivi who jumped off the ship all saw the scene where Xia De was wrapped in that red light and disappeared:
"Where did he go?"
Claire asked very worriedly, but Emilia was not the Chosen One of Space after all, and she couldn't answer this question.
Ellie cried lightly, dispelling the blood mist in the air. The twelve-ring Ringed Shushi Udel of the Divination Association did not approach these female Ringed Shushi, but reminded at this moment:
"Just now we met the ladies on the ground in the snow mountain, and agreed to explore the cave that was just discovered together. It was Weeping Blood-Hermons who took the initiative to find us. Now it seems that he is deliberately inducing the God-Caller to appear.
Ladies, if you need the help of the Divination Association, I can contact the headquarters now. This looks like a trap, but I don't know what kind of trap it is."
"We will handle it ourselves... Blood Spirit School, sea of blood, relic... Could it be the one in Tobesk?"
Xivi thought of the many details of the event described by Galina last night. After saying goodbye to the twelve-ring diviner, she turned into a light and returned to the ship. She was not worried that Xia De would be harmed immediately, but it seemed that it was time to find some young ladies proficient in spatial power.
Emilia looked at the position where Xia De disappeared very worriedly, and then heard the diviner say again:
"Your Highness Sianod (Note), you appeared here, is it..."
The pointed-eared elf looked at him, said nothing, and flew toward Claire riding a unicorn. The diviner looked at the ground thoughtfully, and finally flew toward his companions to gather.
As for Xia De on the other side—
"What's the situation? What is this place?"
In Xia De's vision, those tens of thousands of blood-colored skulls constituted some extremely complex ritual base array. Blood light surrounded him, and then dispersed rapidly. But after the space became stable again, the blood mist did not completely disperse, so every corner of the vision seemed to be covered with a layer of red filter.
This is no longer the mountainside of the Fatumunster Snow Mountain. This is indoors, a bedroom that is not particularly large. The bed, wardrobe, desk, chair, and bedside table all look like high-end antiques, and they all look like they have been used.
Not only is there a layer of blood color in the field of vision, but the items in the room are also mostly red. Mahogany furniture, red curtains, and even the thick fabric embroidered curtains are dark red.
"It won't be..."
After calming down, he walked quickly to the curtains and pulled the curtains open, and then saw that behind the curtains was a wall. The window was drawn on the wall with chalk, and even in the two window frames, there were patterns of blue sky, white clouds, and snow mountains.
"Strong Spatial Perception."
The strange art was successfully activated, but the sensing range was severely compressed. Xia De could only perceive that the outside of the four walls was still indoors, and this room should be located in the center of a huge building.
"Is Hermons appearing specifically, actually a trap?"
Thinking about it, he took out the crystal shoes, but the crystal shoes fell directly on the ground after being thrown out. The home-returning ability attached to the 【Cinderella】 lock was indeed not omnipotent, but this was essentially the failure of the strange art of the lock, and Xia De hadn't encountered it many times.
After trying "Lagley's Jump", the spatial movement ability really couldn't work here. He guessed the current situation in his heart, and after standing in place for a while, he walked toward the door after confirming that there was no sound at all around.
This door was not drawn, but Xia De put his hand on the doorknob but didn't act for a long time. After thinking for a while, he let go of his hand, and then turned to look at the furniture in the room.
After carefully checking the tables, chairs, beds, and wardrobes, there was no discovery. It was just that when Xia De moved the red apple oil painting on the wall away, he actually saw a small door at the high place of the wall.
?? PS: Because there is no formal coronation, it cannot be called "Your Majesty" or "Queen". ===== CHAPTER 3426 =====
"Either this house is strange, or it is located in some remote, deep mountain forest."
He actually already had a guess in his heart, but he just couldn't be certain yet. He stood in place for a while longer, and only after confirming there was absolutely no sound in the surroundings did he walk toward the direction of the room door.
This room door was not painted on, but after Xia De placed his hand on the doorknob, he hesitated and did not act. After pondering for a moment, he let go of his hand and turned to look at the furniture in the room.
After carefully checking the table, chairs, bed, and wardrobe, he found nothing, but when Xia De moved the oil painting of red apples on the wall, he was shocked to see a small door high up on the wall.
PS: Because the coronation has not yet officially taken place, it is not appropriate to address 【Her Majesty】 or 【the Queen】.
