Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 264 Runeman Leather Umbrella

The current situation of the Daru people is very bad.

The great battle in the Curse Valley hundreds of years ago killed all the great druids, and the tribe lost the ability to communicate with the gods. Without the protection of the gods, the inheritance is broken, and there is no high-end combat power among them.

To make matters worse, human beings have abandoned their previous covenants, and greedy slave traders have begun to go deep into the silent forest to capture slaves, which has also led to a sudden drop in the population of the Daru people, and has gradually moved to the brink of extinction.

Now there are only two Tier 5s in the Emerald Holy Land. In terms of high-end combat power, even some large slave-hunting groups can't compare. There is no qualification for frontal combat at all.

Therefore, even if a certain tribe in the forest is in danger, the elders in the Emerald Holy Land dare not go to the rescue.

It can be saved once, but not the next time.

If these old men were to die in battle, the Daru tribe would have lost hope.

Therefore, for the continuation of the ethnic group, they can only choose to hide and hide in various places in the silent forest.

This is also why the news of the attack on the "Grey Wolf Tribe" came, and the patriarch Lu did not spread the news in the Holy Land.

Such bad news has been heard a lot over the years.

These little druids still have blood in their hearts, but they are the future hope of the Daru tribe.

Old people don't let them go on adventures either.

However, the news still came out.

There are a few apprentice Druids in the Holy Land who are from the Grey Wolf tribe. Naturally, they will not watch the tribe be wiped out and the tribesmen being captured and sold as slaves. It just so happens that Aku's good friend Wu Meng is one of them. As soon as the bloody young boys came together, they quietly slipped out of the Holy Land, intending to go to the rescue.

How much can be saved.

Druids have stronger fighting power than ordinary clansmen, and only they have the opportunity to rescue some of the main clansmen.

In the forest, Su Lun rode on the white wolf that Yuta had transformed into and quickly walked through the forest.

He originally planned to go to the north to have a look, and now he just happened to stop by.

He also obtained a lot of detailed information from the communication with the patriarch of the deer before, and roughly evaluated the rank of the [Heart Flayer]. Shouldn't be outrageously high. It is estimated that it should be a third-order, or a fourth-order "lord". still in the operational range.

Originally, Yuta had planned to take him there secretly. But the patriarch Lu and the others figured out why Su Lun was going and guessed his strength, so they expressed their understanding and support. He even planned to send a team of strong people to accompany him.

But Su Lun refused.

His current situation is special.

He is a puppeteer, and there is no difference between a team and him alone.

Encountering an enemy that cannot be defeated, it is useless to have too many people.

Those who have been beaten are not bad.

It is enough to be accompanied by Yuta, who is familiar with the forest.

The two cooperated, even if they encountered a fifth-order enemy, they would protect themselves in the forest.

"The Grey Wolf Tribe is by Lake Lodarsil, and it's more than a day's journey north to Curse Valley. The old people in the clan said that the last time they encountered a [Heart Flayer] was a 'skeleton' not far from the valley. Where the caves' are, monsters hide in the crypts."

"Yeah. Let's go to the Grey Wolf Tribe first. The boys from Aku should be there."

"."

Yuta wasn't angry with his brother for running away from the Holy Land, just a little worried.

Being bloody is not a bad thing for the warriors of the Daru tribe.

On the other hand, a killing game is being held on the shores of Lake Lodarsil in the north of Silent Forest.

A group of Imperial soldiers in silver armor had broken through the gray wolf tribe yesterday. The tribesmen were put on slave collars and escorted further north.

There are also some young knights in the jungle searching for the "slippery fish" who have escaped in the jungle.

"These natives run really fast when they are transformed into beasts. It's really hard to catch them if they are slippery in the jungle."

"Hahaha Yuke, my spear shooting skills are full marks in the academy graduation assessment, one spear, is it alright?"

"Bauer, I've killed eight natives, and you are only five. What's there to show off? I will make specimens of their tibias and keep them in the family's collection room. This is my feat!"

"Hey, hey, I said, don't show off. The trial task given by the instructor is at least five indigenous heads per person, and I only killed one."

"."

This is an elite reserve team of the Royal Knights Corps of the Luying Empire [Holy Judgment Corps].

The knights were still young, they were reserve officers who had just graduated from the Imperial Royal Academy and entered the army.

Hunting demihumans is their blood trial before they officially enter the battlefield.

At the same time, there were several wooden cages filled with Dalu people in the tribal stockade where there were many corpses.

This is a slave who has not had time to escort away, and it is also a bait.

Several middle-aged men in exquisite armor were standing by. They listened to the sounds of battle from time to time in the jungle and chatted without a word.

"This group of boys is really lucky. There are demi-humans hunting for them. I think when we graduated back then, we were sent directly to the battlefield. How could there be such a good opportunity to open meat."

"Yeah. But then again, these natives are really stupid enough to leave so many slaves here as bait, they won't run away, they will keep coming to die."

"Instructor Sandro, the few demihumans who escaped just now are not weak, they should be Druids. Judging from the information obtained from the previous soul search, there is a place in the forest called 'Emerald Holy Land', which is The holy place of the Daru clan. It is said that there are still two fifth-order existences. Will there be trouble with those boys chasing so far?"

"There will always be casualties in trials. Don't worry, with Roxy's secret protection, there will be no big troubles. Although I like that guy very much, he is known as the "Grave Digger", and his ability is still very strong. Even if this demi-human really has a fifth-order professional, that guy's ability won't necessarily suffer."

"Oh, yes."

"."

A few people listened to the movement for a while, and didn't pay attention to the fighting in the forest.

They chatted and talked about the legion mission this time.

"I originally came to capture some giants in the ice field and get some [giant muscles] for the warriors to use as breeding materials. I didn't expect to find such an ancient ruin. Judging from the antiquities unearthed so far, the labyrinth was even before the dawn of the era. The existence of this secret excavation, I am afraid there will be a lot of gains."

"Yeah. Looking at the situation, I'm afraid there are strong weirdness and [cursed objects]. Maybe if you are lucky, you can find some mythical treasures."

"Those slave traders are also real. The delivery date they promised is so different. We have to do it ourselves. The forest is so big, it's hard work."

"I heard that a few days ago, the 'Sun Slave Group' seems to have encountered a lone adventurer in the forest, and lost a lot of people."

"It's just rumors. You would believe that a third-order adventurer killed a slave-catching group with four fourth-order professionals alone, and there were seven or eight hundred elites? Although the combat power of the slave-catching group is not very good, it is to change You and I go, I'm afraid I can't do it. I hacked to death seven or eight hundred people, and the knives were turned over, and one person was left? Hehe."

"."

A few people chatted, completely unaware that in the forest, Aku and his friends were already ambushing the group of trial knights.

Su Lun's and Yuta quickly arrived at Lake Lodasil.

The village of the Grey Wolf Tribe is right by the lake. The forest in that area is not too dense, and the view is very wide.

On a big tree far away, two figures were holding monoculars to observe a few people chatting in the stockade.

They did not approach rashly, but carefully observed.

After a long while, Su Lun put down the lens barrel, squinted his eyes slightly, and muttered: "It's very strong, is this Lu Ying's Royal Elite Legion?"

Even if the distance is too far to perceive the fire of the soul, Su Lun can tell from the armor on their bodies that those people in the village are definitely the elite of the elite!

From the rank and coat of arms on the armor, it can be seen that the leading middle-aged man should be a colonel-level officer.

In Lu Ying's military establishment, this is usually a senior position that can only be held by professionals above the fourth rank.

"Is that the legendary [Golden Griffon Armor], it's a bit tricky."

Su Lun's pupils narrowed, thinking about something in his heart.

With his current vision, he can naturally see the quality of the armor from the runes and enchantment marks on the armor.

Although the armors on those people are different, at least they are all officers' armors of "gold" and "dark gold" level.

The Royal Knights of the Luying Empire had been able to fight Marfa's mechanical army in a war of attrition for so many years on the frontal battlefield. In addition to alchemy and colonization, the most important thing was the "royal secret forging" rune alchemy armor.

This is a top-level armor with enough defense to compete with mechanical armor.

Not only is the outer armor indestructible, but the inner lining can buffer the impact force of ablation, and there are some exquisite designs at the joints, which can ensure that the movement of the knight is completely unobstructed, and the flexibility is much higher than that of mechanical armor.

Armor is also extremely demanding on users.

In order to pursue the ultimate defense, such a set of armor ranges from half a ton to several tons.

To fight on the battlefield for a long time, a knight needs a very powerful force.

"It turned out to be here to hunt down the giants of the wasteland. It seems that the Luying Empire should have found a shortcut that can directly reach the north of the ice field."

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Lun's mind in an instant.

The enemy is the royal elite, which is bad news.

But the good news is that he hasn't seen anything that makes him feel like a fifth-order existence.

Yuta on the side used the telescope for the first time and got used to it after getting used to it.

She keenly captured the trajectories of the flock of birds flying over the forest, and analyzed: "Someone is fighting in the northeast of the forest and is heading towards the 'Wind Path'. It may be Aku and the others."

After saying that, she put down the telescope, looked at Su Lun, and asked, "Mr. Su Lun, is there a very troublesome existence in the enemy?"

Su Lun said bluntly: "This group of enemies will be much stronger than the slave capture team. Although I haven't seen the fifth rank for the time being, it must not be hit hard. If you spread out, you will have a chance."

Although he had killed several Tier 4s, he was either a pirate or a slave hunter.

What is in front of you now is the real Luying Royal Elite Corps. Regardless of the practice, equipment, talent, and breeding equipment, they are all one-of-a-kind existences.

Don't be careless.

To kill one, Su Lun still has a lot of confidence.

But the few people in the stockade were surrounded, and he had no chance of winning.

Especially that colonel officer, except for the black sickle, Su Lun doesn't feel that he has any way to kill him now.

When Yuta heard this, he nodded seriously: "Yes."

It can make him feel tricky, the enemy is definitely strong.

Su Lun got some fragmented information by reading his lips, and also knew that those Luying knights were undergoing the trial of reserve officers.

The officers in the stockade also seemed to sense that someone was peeping in the distance.

But he didn't chase, obviously he didn't care.

This is something that can be exploited.

Su Lun thought about it and said, "Let's go and see first."

And in the dense forest a few kilometers northeast of Lodasil Lake, a fierce battle is going on.

Akuna's seven or eight young druids are not stupid. Knowing that the enemy is strong, they do not plan to fight hard.

When they came, they found that most of the clansmen of the Grey Wolf Tribe had been escorted away, and there were still some injured clansmen who were inconvenient to transport.

They naturally knew that it was a bait, but they also planned to rescue it first.

As soon as a few people add up, they plan to lure the enemy.

Use the environment in the jungle to scatter and kill those hateful humans and rescue the clansmen.

However, the actual situation was different from what they expected.

They have heard of the combat power of the "Slave Hunting Team" from their tribesmen, and this time they encountered the Royal Luying Royal Elite Legion!

Luring the enemy is successful, and they successfully lure people out.

But... the battle is indeed extremely brutal.

Even if he took advantage of the traps arranged in distress, he caught the enemy by surprise, and also severely injured one.

That's all.

However, they quickly discovered that the other party has an absolute advantage when equipped.

That is more terrifying and powerful equipment than the "slave hunting group"!

Even the Druid's beastly transformed attack does very limited damage to the enemy's armor.

The sharp claws can easily scratch leather armor and even ordinary mechanical equipment, but on the rune armor, except for some slight scratches, it can't cause any damage to the enemy's body at all.

Even if it is a spell, the rank is too low, and it is also useless to the enemy wearing full body armor.

Moreover, the other party obviously expected to be in ambush for a long time, and did not panic at all when attacked, but began to counterattack and contain it.

Large-caliber sniper rifles, bombs, alchemy crossbows, and cursed objects emerge in an endless stream.

Regardless of long-range means or melee combat, Aku's apprentice Druids have no advantage at all.

If he failed to save people, he was chased and killed instead.

They could only use the forest to fight and flee.

Not long after, the eight people who sneaked out of the Holy Land lost three of them in the chase. The remaining few are not in a good condition, and they are more or less injured.

"Wumeng, don't hold on, let's go!"

"I'm the one who got everyone involved, Aku, you go first, I'll drag them!"

"Damn, let's go together!"

"."

How could this group of hot-blooded Daru teenagers abandon their companions, they originally came with the determination to die.

Fight to the death one by one.

Su Lun and Yuta listened to the battle, and when they arrived, they were watching a few people being chased in embarrassment.

But fortunately, there are still a few people alive, which can be considered a fortune in misfortune.

But suddenly blocked by a huge white wolf, several people were all shocked.

Aku also recognized at a glance that this was his sister.

"elder sister!?"

A hint of guilt flashed on his face, and the matter of his sneaking out was still discovered.

But now is clearly not the time to say that.

He shouted loudly: "Sister, let's go, those enemies are very powerful!"

Yuta glanced at a few teenagers, didn't move, and scolded coldly: "You go first. Go back and clean up you!"

Aku thought that his sister didn't know how powerful the enemy was, and his face was anxious: "Sister, their armor is very powerful, so you can't touch it hard."

Yuta didn't have time to answer, his eyes narrowed, and he turned into a white shadow and disappeared in place.

In a blink of an eye, with a "dong" sound, she slapped a heavy armored knight chasing away and broke a big tree.

But the guy had armor on his body and seemed to have no effect at all, and immediately stood up again.

With a "whoosh" sound, a javelin was projected over, and Yuta noticed it and avoided it.

At this time, seven or eight people caught up in the forest, all of them fully armed knights.

"elder sister!"

Of course Aku didn't leave first, and he guarded Yuta with determination and worry.

As soon as he didn't leave, the other apprentice Druids didn't leave either, with an attitude of staying behind to fight to the death.

At the same time, on the treetops, Su Lun, who was wearing a cloak to hide his breath, was closely observing the dense forest.

[Standard Javelin of the Holy Judgment Legion]

Quality: silver

Detailed explanation: Luying Royal Legion standard javelin, made of tungsten steel alloy, with wind attribute piercing effects and acceleration effects;

Looking at the javelin, Su Lun murmured in his heart, "It's really rich. I'm afraid the cost of this javelin will be worth two or three million."

He looked at the equipment on the knights again.

The elites deserve to be the elites. The armor, war knives, and firearms on these guys are top military supplies that cannot be bought in the world.

The value of the full set of equipment is amazing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that half of the city is on the back.

Su Lun made a rough estimate in his heart, just the value of the equipment on the ten-man squad was comparable to the slave-hunting group he had killed before.

Moreover, they are all military supplies that are not available in the market.

However, these knights are not something Su Lun should be afraid of.

The fire of the souls of the trainee officers below are all within the perception range, and they are not too strong, both second- and third-order.

Without Tier 4, Su Lun would not be difficult to kill them even if they were equipped.

But he knew that there was a high-level professional in this group of people who was secretly protecting it.

Not sure where the guy is, and he didn't make a rash move.

On the ground, Yuta and the others were already in a fierce battle with the group.

With her joining the battle, the battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate for a short time.

Heavy armored knights are not without shortcomings, and battles consume a lot of physical strength.

Although Yuta and the others have limited damage to the armor, the consumption is much smaller, and they are more flexible, and it is not easy to lose for a while.

Su Lun saw that Yuta was not in danger for the time being, and was not in a hurry to shoot.

He looked at the means displayed by the trainee officers, and his thoughts flew: "[B-036-Earth Dragon], [Talent C-071-Ape], [C-004-Divine Power]. This ruling legion is really like the legend In general, most of the recruits are talented professionals of the power system, and the breeding equipment is completely for the advancement of the power system."

Su Lun was thoughtful.

Lu Ying's military has some mature professional advanced systems, and the soldiers who come out like this will have a very strong group combat power.

But when he looked at him, his expression suddenly changed.

"Discovered?"

Su Lun frowned immediately.

Originally, I planned to observe it in the dark, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by the enemy first.

At that moment, he clearly sensed a subtle wave of soul fluctuations like radar waves passing over him.

This wave of fluctuations cannot be detected by ordinary people, but his current mental power is very sensitive, and he immediately judged that this is some kind of mental power perception method.

Su Lun was a little puzzled. He was wearing a cloak made of mirror tissue, and he couldn't perceive it by conventional means.

This also means that the lurking person has a curse of perception on his body?

The opponent had already discovered him, and there was no point in hiding it any longer. He immediately changed his tactics.

Without any hesitation, Su Lun spread out a seal scroll, and the warlock pinched it, "Seal · Release!"

The next moment, a burly combat armor appeared out of thin air.

The armor quickly fell, and Su Lun also jumped down.

While falling, he manipulated the silk thread to quickly combine the mecha on his body. Just when everyone on the ground didn't respond, the steam boiler on the armor erupted with a burst of power, and with a "chi" sound, the figure rushed down and slashed with a knife.

Because it was a sneak attack, the underground people found it, and it was too late to avoid it.

Su Lun's ship-killing sword also directly hit the knight who wanted to block with his sword.

This is the "main tank" of that team.

With a "keng" sound, the sharp sound of piercing eardrums resounded in the forest.

After only a moment of stalemate, the tremor of the ship-cutting knife slashed the person's long sword in two pieces, and then cut heavily on the opponent's armor.

Blood splattered everywhere, the man was suppressed by the giant force, and half of his legs were sunk in the mud.

This knife did not cut in half, showing that the defense of his armor was amazing.

But Su Lun wouldn't give him a chance at all.

This knife opened the mouth, destroying the overall structure, and the armor's defense was greatly reduced.

He raised his hand and slashed again, and cut the knight's chest into two pieces directly along the gap. Blood spurted wildly, and his eyes were full of scarlet.

Su Lun killed someone in an instant.

This sudden change made everyone in the ground stunned for a moment.

Several members of the knights watched the life and death of their companions, and they were even more puzzled.

They naturally recognized it at a glance, this is Marfa's combat armor!

Heck!

How could Marfa appear in the Silent Forest?

Even Yuta watched with a little surprise in his eyes when he saw him slashing to death an armored knight who he couldn't kill just now.

And Aku and the others were even more shocked.

Such a hard armor, actually killed by a knife?

But in an instant, they guessed the identity of this person.

Only humans use this mechanical device.

And there are only two human beings they know, one is Katyusha, and the other is that Mr. Su Lun!

Who can come to save them with his sister.

Su Lun snorted softly: "You guys go first!"

His mechanical armor quelled the guys on the opposite side, and the two sides also pulled away for a distance and confronted each other.

Yuta listened and nodded.

She knew Su Lun's ability. In such a situation, it would be a burden for them to stay, so she snorted at Aku and the others: "Go!"

Now the situation has turned, and equipment crushing has become Su Lun's side.

Although the defense of the Royal Luying officer armor is amazing, the armor attributes of these reserve officers are a lot worse than the [Colonel-class IX-shaped mechanical battle armor]!

If there is no accident, these people can't kill Su Lun.

Instead, it will be killed by Su Lun.

Therefore, the guy hiding in the dark will definitely not watch this situation helplessly.

Moreover, now that Marfa's combat armor has appeared, things are more complicated.

They also had to suspect that the power of the Marfa Empire had penetrated into the northern ice plains, and had even reached some kind of covenant with the demihumans.

Therefore, the mecha warrior in front of me, and those Druids, can't let go!

Su Lun is forcing that person out!

Everyone was shocked for a moment.

Su Lun didn't stop, since he appeared, he wouldn't give the enemy a chance to react.

It was at this moment that the steam boiler under his feet charged up again, and the burly mechanical body rushed away, and the second knife was already slashed away!

Seeing that another person was about to be slashed under the knife, at this moment, a ghostly figure appeared in front of Su Lun. He held a black long-staff-like blade and firmly blocked the ship-chopping knife.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, Su Lun was not surprised at all: "It really came."

However, after seeing who was coming, he was a little surprised.

To be precise, not because of this fourth-order professional, but because of the weapon in his hand.

It was a pitch-black umbrella!

At that moment, a string of golden runes lit up on the umbrella surface, and the slash of the ship-cutting knife was immediately struck. Suddenly, people can hear the sound of ghost crying and wolf howling.

Su Lun's left eye flashed a stream of light, and he checked it out.

【Runeman Leather Umbrella】

Quality: dark gold

Description: The messenger of the underworld also needs an umbrella that can shade;

Cursed characteristics: A ghost umbrella made of human skin, a cage for the soul; it can increase the perception range of the bearer's spiritual system and enhance the penetration of necromancy spells; consume a lot of spiritual power to actively use the umbrella to create a 'night field', Deprive everyone within the range of the five senses; release resentful spirits, causing continuous spiritual attacks on the target; those who do not master a certain degree of death law will be cursed back, permanently deranged their senses, and have a medium probability of hearing whispers from unknown existences in the underworld;

Detailed explanation: This is a broken forbidden object, the umbrella bone is missing, and only the umbrella surface is left. Collecting souls can enhance the curse characteristics of the cursed object, the current number of evil spirits is 85546;

It was only when Su Lun saw the detailed explanation of the umbrella.

Light can't stop the ship-cutting knife, it turned out to be a broken forbidden object.

He looked at him listening to the whispers, and he felt very familiar.

"If you master the law of death, you will not be cursed? I don't know if my second-stage reaper has reached the conditions for use."

Su Lun saw a move in his heart, this curse seemed to suit him very well.

It also understands why it was discovered just now.

It is because of this umbrella.

At the same time, he also sighed that these people from the Lu Ying royal family are really strong.

Not to mention the expensive standard equipment, this is a random fourth-order, and a broken forbidden item is taken out.
