CHAPTER VII THOSE OLD THINGS
When he held the sword tightly and rushed towards the hideous and strange monster, Gao Wen no longer had any tension, hesitation, and fear. If he had to say something, it would probably be a little bit of trance and unreality.
He also clearly remembered the moment when his plane crashed.
He also clearly remembered the hundreds of thousands of years that had been hung high in this world.
He has not adapted well to Gowan Cecil, the identity of falling from the sky.
However, at this moment, he held a tight end with an ancient family sword and rushed towards a strange monster who was not sure whether it was a demon or a dead soul.
Bang!
A huge impact came from the blade, and all the distracting thoughts in my mind disappeared instantly.
With an almost instinctive reaction, Gao Wen turned his upper body half a circle, and the sweeping blade passed through the air, slashing the shoulder on the side of the monster, and while slashing under the blade, he tried hard to mobilize the power hidden in this body and guided the power to the long sword in his hand.
The faint red ray at the base of the sword blade burst out with a bright red light under the stimulation of power, and spread rapidly along the sword blade like flames. Under the scorching heat, even the surrounding air twisted.
The three-meter-high monster felt the threat from the high temperature of the sword blade, and suddenly leaned back with agility that was completely inconsistent with its huge size. As a result, Gao Wen's slash was so bad that he fell into nothing.
The first time he released this supernatural power that seemed like magic with his hands, Gao Wen couldn't help but feel a moment of excitement and excitement in his heart. It was probably this moment of excitement that made him unable to grasp the rhythm of the first attack, but soon he adjusted his mindset and poured his strength back into the sword.
The skills and knowledge from Gowen Cecil in my memory can indeed be called, and this body has not yet declined to the point where it cannot exert its strength. Although I don’t know how much strength it can be exerted, Gowen has already added a lot of confidence at this moment.
He began to immerse himself in battle and tried to transform the combat experiences in his mind that were not his own into powers that he could use as fast as possible.
On the other side, Byron was already in a tough battle.
This mid-level knight is one of the best masters in Cecil's leadership. His combat career before serving allegiance to Cecil's family also allowed him to accumulate extraordinary combat experience. However, when the monster attacked the castle before, he had consumed too much energy. In addition, he was eroded by the monster's strange magic power, the hidden damage in his body further reduced his combat power, which made the knight's combat power only exert 40% of the 50% of the combat power.
At this moment, facing the monster's continuous attacks, he could only hold the sword tightly and strive to remain undefeated. While saving his physical strength as much as possible, he worked hard to find the opponent's flaws.
Rebecca gathered his magic power, and a scorching fire ball the size of a head flew out from the front of the staff, colliding violently with the shadow arrow of the spellcasting monster in the distance, causing a shocking explosion. Then she took a breath and immediately noticed the dangerous situation on Byron's side, and immediately shouted loudly to the soldiers of the territory beside her: "You three, go and help Byron!"
A soldier hesitated for a moment: "But Lord Lord..."
Rebecca shouted while condensing the new fireball technique: "We are fine for the time being - but if Byron falls, it will be over! I order you to go as the lord!"
The three soldiers could only take the order and fight against the terrible monster with the Byron Knights.
Gao Wen was gradually immersed in the battle. The memories and experiences that did not belong to him were quickly transforming into his own things, and improving his control over his new body. This process brought him a full sense of accomplishment. When he woke up from this immersion state, he found that the monster in front of him had been beaten by him.
The distorted bodies surging with "sludge" are not invulnerable. If they are cut, they will still be injured, and if they are cut too much, they will still die. Although they are powerful and have the advantage of body shape, as long as they master the methods of confrontation, the human body can still destroy them.
This is the experience left behind seven hundred years ago.
The monster's claws flew over the top of his head. Gao Wen lowered his body and stabbed the sword into the opponent's thigh with his backhand. The latter finally let out a turbid roar, and his body tilted to the side uncontrollably. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Wen shouted to Byron: "Try to attack their abdomen and lower limbs, don't care about their chests, these guys have no heart!"
Then he took advantage of his opponent's loss of balance and turned around to the side and back of the opponent, raised his sword and stabbed the monster's back midfield: "In addition to the abdominal cavity, their other weakness is behind! Back midfield!"
Listening to the guidance from the ancestors of the Cecil family, Byron suddenly felt energetic. With the cooperation of three soldiers, he quickly restrained the monster's movement, and at the cost of being penetrated by sharp claws with his shoulder armor, he directly drilled through the other party's crotch, turned around and hit the vital point with a sword.
And a second before Byron solved the enemy, the monster in front of Gao Wen also fell down heavily.
After dealing with the enemy, Gao Wen immediately raised his head and looked at the monster in the distance who was hitting the fireball with Shadow Arrow and Rebecca. But just as he was about to rush over to the front, the monster suddenly let out a shrill roar, and then fell down with convulsions.
Amber's figure appeared behind the monster, and he turned his hands together with a poisoned steel dagger: "Poke the chrysanthemum, I'm good at it."
Rebecca lowered her staff, her cheeks flushed slightly due to continuous casting. She took two breaths to calm her breath, and then corrected seriously: "What the ancestors said was the back waist, not the anus."
Amber quickly rotated the dagger in her hand twice, and she didn't know where the dagger was hidden. She stepped over the monster's corpse and curled her lips as she walked over: "Tsk, there is no sense of humor at all."
After the monsters died, they began to disintegrate rapidly. The mud-like substances that kept flowing on their bodies stopped flowing first, and then gradually dried up, solidified, and a large number of tiny cracks appeared. As these mutated "flesh and flesh" corroded and fell off, they would turn into a huge, twisted blood-colored skeleton at an extremely fast speed.
Gao Wen stood next to the monster he killed, looked down at the process, as if he said to himself: "It turned out that these things attacked Cecil's leader..."
Hetty looked at him curiously: "Ancestor, do you know the origin of these monsters?"
Gao Wen had already shown a deep understanding of these monsters in the previous battles, and even gave instructions on Byron how to fight them, so naturally this could not be hidden, and he himself did not want to hide it.
"We may encounter them even if we stay here. We are in the secret passage. There are things that suppress those monsters in the secret passage, and they will not easily go in," Gao Wen said as he stepped forward, "I can tell you the details on the road."
After entering the ancient underground passage and advancing for a while, Gao Wen broke his silence: "I did deal with them back then - in fact, we mainly dealt with those things back then. You should know the collapse of the Gondor Empire and the history of the second pioneering, right?"
"Of course I know," Rebecca nodded immediately. These history can be said to be a compulsory course for her children of aristocrats. "More than 700 years ago, there was only one human country in the Loren continent, that was the Gondor Empire in the center of the mainland. Historical records were the most powerful empire on the mainland at that time. Even the silver empire established by the elves in the southern part of the mainland did not dare to easily become enemies. However, later the Ethereal Sea shrouded around the world caused a turmoil, which triggered a great disaster called the "dark demon tide". The outbreak of the disaster was in the hinterland of the Gondor Empire - almost overnight, the capital and one-third of the territory of the Gondor Empire were swallowed by the demon tide and decomposed by the surging elemental power..."
"It was not overnight. In fact, this process lasted for nearly a month - the court mages in Gondor did nothing in front of the demon tide," Gao Wen interrupted, and then signaled the other party to continue, "But from the results, it's almost the same. You continue."
"Oh...oh," Rebecca blushed, and said more cautiously as if he was checking homework by his parents. "After that, the demon tide in the heart of the Gondor Empire continued to spread around and eventually completely destroyed the entire country. This was the collapse of the Gondor Empire. After that, as the Ethereal Sea gradually calmed down, the power of the demon tide began to decline, and the surviving Gondor residents began to rebuild civilization. Since the central area of the mainland was already decayed and no longer suitable for human survival, they left the empire that had turned into ruins under the guidance of a group of pioneers and explored in four directions, southeast, west and north, known as the second pioneering. Master Ancestor, you are one of the most famous pioneering knights of that year."
"Well, history is good," Gao Wen praised casually, "You must have heard of it too. Even though the demon tide ended, there were still a large number of monsters born in the demon tide. Those monsters were one of the biggest threats faced by humans during the second pioneering."
Hetty opened his eyes wide: "You mean..."
"Yes, those things we fought with us back then," Gao Wen sighed. "They were born from the demon tide, with a contour like a human, but they were definitely not humans. After the collapse of the Gondor Empire, a large number of such monsters surged out of the empire's heartland, constantly spreading in all directions, chasing the survivors at that time. Therefore, the first half of the second pioneering was more of an escape journey than a pioneering journey. And even though we later left the wasteland of the empire and established a new kingdom on the edge of the continent, the monsters did not stop. They continued to surge from the direction of the empire's wasteland and frequently hit the defense line of the civilized world... In the first decade after Ansu founded, I was dealing with them almost every day."
Rebecca's eyes widened, as if he had been deeply attracted by these ancient and legendary stories: "Ah, will those monsters no longer appear after ten years of Ansu's founding?"
Gao Wen smiled, reached out to stroke the girl's hair, and showed a smile of a silly roe deer: "Silly child, then your ancestors will die from then..."
