From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 258 The End (Part 2)

The surrounding space was shrinking visibly to the naked eye, and Azshara understood that this was the wound being healed as a whole.

But fortunately, friends outside and other companions seem to have done something, and the shrinking speed of space is slowing down little by little.

Moreover, although the big guy under his feet is still struggling, its intensity and amplitude are lower than before. It seems that there are restrictions on its body again?

Azshara remembered the sudden acceleration of the blood spurt before she entered, and the two figures she saw running towards the vacant vines in the corner of her eye.

'Well, that's it.' She probably understood what happened.

However, the recovery of the wound is only slowed down, not completely terminated, and even though the advanced salamander has lost enough blood to fill a pit several meters deep, its vitality is still very strong.

Therefore, the current situation makes Azshara feel a little anxious.

Before she could figure out how to have a greater effect, she did not stop biting her mouth, but her eyes drifted little by little to the depths of the black hole in her throat, and she was thinking rapidly.

Why don't you try to take a deeper look?

‘Whoosh’~~~‘Bang!’ ‘Bang!’ ‘Bang!’.

The sudden noise startled her, and what she saw out of the corner of her eye were more than a dozen pitch-black armor-piercing cores flying in from the outside. Their tail tips were trembling a few meters away, and their heads were in varying depths.

One of them pierced into the flesh wall.

'This was not fired by an armor-piercing cannon, it was fired by Fangs and the others.'

Such thoughts passed away in a flash, but the new wound in the wound made her eyes light up, and she immediately thought of turning back into an elf and following suit.

~~~

The outside world is indeed as Azshara imagined. Amidst the violent winds, lightning and thunder, the Advanced Salamander is like a giant ship sailing on a violent sea, drifting with the waves in the storm;

She held on to the 'wall' and moved quickly towards the inside. The light brought by the lightning from the outside could no longer shine here, and there was only a thick darkness all around;

‘But what can I do? Electricity and metal damage’

The muffled sound became louder and louder, getting closer and closer. After more than ten sounds in a row, a coolness that was different from the blood temperature rose from nowhere, hitting Azshara's body one after another.

Behind him is a sealed flesh and blood chamber filled with magma-like semi-molten liquid. Judging from the previous spell's effects, this 'pool' of liquid definitely contains metal components.

No, the scales were completely broken. The charred skin on its body had been smashed into large pieces, and some pink flesh inside was exposed in some areas.

After coming to this conclusion, she turned around and walked resolutely towards the loop, but she stopped hesitantly after two or three steps. After tilting her head and thinking briefly, she turned back and headed deeper into the salamander's body.

Go.

'Whoosh! Bang!'

But this harvest alone provided enough, even more than enough, supplies, causing the seed Azshara took out to begin to grow rapidly, and stretched out a thick vine to her hand, and another

Some of them quickly stuck to the wall and penetrated deep into the flesh and blood pipes.

Such lightning occurred several times in succession, and it was not until the section of metal exposed outside the body was melted and destroyed by the constant bombardment that it truly stopped.

If there are no accidents, it can survive and retain a minimum of strength. However, with all the restraints on its body destroyed and many "little brothers" on standby, it is still unclear who will win in this battle with the headquarters.

Therefore, this is the result of Nesta's previous on-the-spot trial and error, and Azshara's thoughts at this time.

'It's better to hide and save your life first.'

Then, the power of nature was finally able to bypass the protection of higher organisms, using the relatively weak flesh and blood channels in the body as a passage, passing through the scales and armor, passing through the thick muscle layer, and directly affecting many of the weakest parts.

After a burst of "Thunderbolt~", some internal organs were still strong, but some internal organs were burnt black, or even completely reduced to pieces;

There are also blood vessels extending upward and downward from the neck. Under the special attack of lightning, a section of several meters or more than ten meters was completely destroyed;

But as we walked, Azshara gradually wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows.

Her hearing was sharp enough that she could clearly distinguish the rumbling lightning, the high-pitched screams, and the sounds of the internal organs that could be heard all the time in her ears;

She noticed from this that although the life strength of the advanced salamander had weakened, it was still far from dying.

Afterwards, Azshara immediately threw away the end she was holding, turned around and ran back to the thick enough 'passage', leaving three thick wooden doors along the way to withstand possible lightning strikes.

The power of nature destroyed a solid layer of flesh wall, some cells died due to lightning, and some cells were severely injured and then ruptured;

It may not be safe enough to draw the thunder so far, and it may even send him away for no reason, but the high-level salamander is still fine.

She lay down on the ground, stretched out her hand and started to 'summon metal'.

In total darkness, traces of metal powder that could not be seen with the naked eye were precipitated from the 'Ocean', and then gathered at the place prescribed by Azshara's spell, and under the influence of the form-changing rune group, gradually moved towards

The 'medium thickness but very long' direction changes.

The monster did not respond to the attack, but its heart beat gradually became stronger.

Nesta frowned. The successful capture of this one was almost a certainty, but the vitality it showed was as vital as a dog-skin plaster, casting a shadow over more capture plans in the future.

~~~~~

Time passed little by little, the wind stopped, the heavy rain ended, and the sun broke through the dark clouds and shone on the earth again. This unexpected thunderstorm finally came to an end.

The department's understanding of 'electricity', especially natural lightning, is still very limited. Azshara does not know the complete knowledge of its conduction, and all she knows is something similar to 'metal conduction' that induces lightning from high places.

'Just speaking from experience.

It can be seen from this that the vines responsible for binding the advanced salamanders in the outside world will never survive this thunderstorm intact.

Turning her gaze back to Azshara, she was about to transform back into an elf and cast a metal spell, but there was a sudden shaking under her feet.

This shaking is different from before. It does not seem to be caused by the sensory impact caused by the struggle of the advanced salamander itself, but a sense of walking in a drunken trance, and it is still the kind of walking in circles.

Now that I'm thinking about it, if there really is such a thing as 'electricity resistance', then this organ in front of me is undoubtedly the most likely to have that ability, right?

Electricity seems to be involved in the process of metal extraction by salamander species, so some of its organs are likely to have quite high electrical resistance.

But whether it was an error in inference or because the evolution of the advanced salamander itself was not in place yet, its miserable howl did end abruptly at this time.

If that thing hadn't turned a corner and finally landed on a jet black metal core about ten meters away, I might have died here just now.

Azshara, who was thinking this way, knew that flash of light.

It should be electricity, and it is not weak biological electricity, but powerful natural electricity.

At this time, the already dark inside of the wound became even darker, and after a while, a dull sound came from the outside.

'Boom!'

Fortunately, Azshara had already pulled the extending vines and moved a little deeper into the salamander's body. In the process, she gradually adapted to this environment and gained the ability to move on her own within the space of flying up and down.

, so it did not receive much threat.

Out of this worry, Azshara stopped in her tracks. She wanted to do something here.

"Hey~ this is it."

Therefore, in the early growth process, Azshara could only use her own physical energy to provide support.

In fact, witch doctors generally lack combat experience. The old way witch doctors used to cast spells to obtain life when not necessary, but their role was more in preserving inheritance;

Now, although the new path does not require the consumption of life to cast spells, under Nesta's unintentional guidance, the witch doctors have become more and more inclined to the category of 'researchers'.

But the smile faded in an instant. She listened to the way back and smelled the front. If the plan was successful, where should she run? Did she block herself here?

Will it run away directly, or will it immediately turn around and come back to take revenge on its headquarters? There are too many uncertainties in this.

Based on the previous experimental results of this department, we can guess that it should come from the blood of the salamander's wound, or perhaps the tissues that became coke after being struck by lightning also contributed some resources?

But not even a moment later, a large section of blood vessel was torn out, and Azshara herself was thrown away and hit hard on the flesh wall. Then, under the effect of huge force, it was fixed as if it was stuck to the ground.

It is difficult to move everywhere.

A moment later, after 'making' more metals and controlling them to deform and swim away, Azshara inevitably gasped. Fortunately, as a senior second-level life and advanced witch doctor, her body was still

sustained this series of actions.

'raindrop?'

~~~~~

Azshara quickly traveled dozens of meters, and after passing through some complex passages formed by some unknown trachea or other tubes, what she heard in her hearing was a vast liquid ocean.

Perhaps this is the stomach, perhaps the lungs, or perhaps the parotid glands? But no matter what, Azshara noticed traces of a large amount of metal elements here.

Gradually, the shaking feeling became stronger and stronger, and finally reached the point where Azshara inside could not stand stably.

With this flash of light, she could clearly see the spot where the lightning had fallen. It had turned into a scorched black area several meters in diameter, and the smell of meat could be heard from the area covered by the scorched black.

This advanced salamander, which can only adapt to the high temperature and pressure deep in magma, actually had a large piece of meat cooked under that electric light?

Shocked by the power of the thunder, Azshara no longer wanted to stay here.

Fortunately, the Advanced Salamander was already injured, and many vines were still restricting its performance, otherwise they would really just be delivering food.

Waves of light flickered in the darkness, and Azshara's short-haired wolf face mixed with thick blood also flickered on and off in the process;

She tried using the metal spell, which was effective, but the generation rate was extremely low. Among the few metal elements that were attracted, some came from deeper in the 'channel', and some were generated from behind;

This worry is not unfounded. The magic plant she planted earlier was a special product that was carefully adjusted to withstand high temperatures and high strength. However, even so, it withered instantly under the power of lightning.

to die;

There are dozens of armor-piercing cores left on its huge body. They are like lightning rods at this time, continuously attracting thunder from high in the sky and hitting the body of the advanced salamander.

Falling, each bombardment caused large pieces of scales to shatter, and large pieces of muscle to be scorched black.

From the latter, a small amount of high-energy body fluids belonging to higher organisms flowed out

This is a kind of naked and defenseless nutrient-rich substance. Their existence makes the scorched area become one of the few loopholes where plant-based magic can take root;

The spell casting started again, and since there was no light source here, all spells had to be supported by her own physical strength;

And the state after this, if it weren't for the clear heartbeat sound constantly coming from deep in the body, it would be almost the same as death.

Such damage has even affected some brain structures.

According to the inferences of the witch doctors in this department, the brain area may no longer be as irreplaceable for higher-level monsters as it is for lower-level beings;

Nesta suppressed her worries and gave a test order. During the continuous retreat, the ancient trees and self-propelled combat vehicles that had left the range started to move again.

After a while, a tank entered the firing range and launched a tentative attack from a distance.

Flashes of light are still appearing one after another, but for the time being, none have penetrated into the depths of this inner wound again. Only the rumbling sound that seems to lag behind the light and shadow repeatedly invades, and then forms a more violent sound in the semi-enclosed space.

echo.

So she was not very sure. If she really succeeded in attracting thunder and lightning, should she jump into this pool of water to have a greater chance of survival?

This association seems a bit funny in such an environment, but the current feeling of the body is indeed somewhat similar to that of "raindrops".

Just when she was doubting herself, a dazzling light pierced the darkness, going straight from the wound outward without giving any reaction time.

This moment made Azshara's hands and feet feel cold, her heart was beating unsatisfactorily, and the threat of death suddenly came in the blink of an eye;

"Fire one round of armor-piercing cannon first."

However, if you look and listen more carefully, you may be able to find some unusual and inconsistent situations;

That is to say, even if it is in the current situation, this monster's state has not slipped to the level of the previously captured salamander, which was so weak that it was completely unable to resist.

The regeneration of its body is still continuing. Within the muscle layer, which is several meters deep, there are still a large number of key areas that have been preserved with complete vitality. Based on this, the rest of the body is firmly maintained.

Not to mention they rarely have the opportunity to fight in person, they rarely even think about ‘how to fight’;

'boom'.

There was the sound of heavy objects falling from the distance, and the headquarters forces that were concentrated on the side of a certain volcano for refuge also raised their heads and looked over there.

All in all, everything around him suddenly became quiet at this moment.

Among the many options, the only one missing is 'stop this behavior', but your life is also important. If you can survive, why not fight for it?

Use your brain and use the existing knowledge to find ways to cause damage while still surviving.

Immediately, she thought of what she had discovered in previous research, or what she had inferred through observation——

Even if they encounter a rare situation that requires fighting, most of the witch doctors will increase their strength and speed, and then roll up their sleeves and rely on their powerful bodies to fuck hard.

Even the most experienced witch doctors such as Nesta, Rough Fang, and Azshara still have to rely on real-time on-site progress to improve their 'fighting ability' and 'combat thinking'.

However, this may not be the case for the big guy at his feet.

Since the beginning, the screams of the advanced salamanders have been coming one after another. The attraction of the few metals inside to lightning has been clearly seen, and how many black-edged golden cores are there outside its body that have penetrated into the scales and flesh?

Thinking of this, Azshara couldn't help laughing.

I saw, in the center of the unrecognizable battlefield, an advanced salamander, whose body was charred black and whose life breath was extremely weak, lying miserably on the ground.

The inferior salamanders in the mountain seemed to realize everything that happened here, and they fell into a state of calmness after admitting defeat, or the last silence before the explosion;

And the thunder and lightning clouds and rain in the sky seemed to have vented enough anger at this time, and gradually turned to stop.

Her body was driven by centrifugal force, and her limbs had already left the ground. Her body position was maintained only by the tightly closed upper and lower jaws and the teeth biting the wound.

This place is obviously a paradise for metal magic. In a short period of time, she 'created' a metal strip that was more than a hundred meters long and shaped like a vine, and controlled the other end to extend towards the path she came from.

.

'Boom! Boom! Boom!'

At this time, she had set the preliminary tasks for herself, and the execution of the plan finally came to the final step.

A long metal pipe is controlled to extend out of the wound on the axolotl's neck, completely exposing it to the imaginary outside world of lightning and thunder;

Or is it that if you turn around and run away now, your chances of surviving are high?

In other words, don’t go anywhere, just wait where you are?

Its depth may only range from a few centimeters to more than ten centimeters. In fact, only a small part of the root system can absorb nutrients from it. The vast majority of the remaining root systems are just fleshy protrusions that wrap around in all directions, providing stability to the whole.

Whether it was the splashing from the outer crater or the impact on the barriers at the bottom of the two large volcanoes on the east and west, the body of the advanced salamander, especially part of the brain structure, was stopped after being set on fire by lightning.

After a while, the root system stretched out from her mouth, sticking downward to the 'ground' and extending into the distance, until it barely took root in the charred area.

A moment later, another bolt of lightning penetrated, and the impact point was still chosen where the metals were before, and along the way, it destroyed the magical plants that had just grown there.

At the moment, Azshara is not sure how this sudden heavy rain and lightning was generated, nor how long this phenomenon can last;

Not long after, the roaring sounds from the outside world and the pitiful howls of salamanders were still coming and going in the auditory world;

Thinking of this possibility, she changed her action pattern again.

The plans of the other parties remain unchanged, but the lightning-generating metal does not need to enter this cavity that seems too solid. The saved part is drilled from the wound on the neck into the ruptured large blood vessel, and then moves towards the neck, chest, and even the head.

Several large branch blood vessels extend.

Azshara, on the other hand, listened intently to the sound of the metal bars passing through the pipes coming in one after another and gradually disappearing, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously.

So, she spit out a seed from the wolf body's mouth like regurgitating it and bit it, then transformed back into the elf body and cast a spell to make the seed grow quickly.

But the accident did happen

An unexpected change occurred due to the ants in its eyes. A piece of metal that was more than ten meters long stretched straight out from the gap in its jaw. As soon as Qie Fu appeared, he became the most beautiful cub in Lightning's eyes.

‘Boom!’ ‘Boom!’ ‘Boom!!’

First, there were three purple electric lights falling from the sky. They followed their own curved and fleeting trajectories, and all landed on the most conspicuous piece of metal;

‘Boom!!!’

Under this powerful and one after another bombardment, not even an inch of the advanced salamander's scales could remain intact. Traces of charred black had spread all over every corner of its body. There was at least a thick layer of muscles on the body surface, which was far away.

Super magma instant high temperature cooking.

And when that time comes, how much life will the advanced salamander retain that has lost its restraints? Will it be able to escape?

Therefore, what she is slightly worried about now is

When this weird lightning roar ends, can the remaining power of the headquarters still be able to control this guy?

The blood of advanced salamanders, or in other words, all blood and other tissue components derived from advanced magical beasts, although this department has only seen three of them so far, they all seem to have extremely strong self-locking capabilities;

Extracting nutrients and energy from it is extremely difficult for other countries with the level of technology in the Republic.

Just like the difficulties faced in obtaining the cell fluid of the cave wolf, this seed cannot obtain enough nutrients for its growth from the mess on the ground;

The endless howl gradually weakened to an unprecedented level. Speaking of itself.

'Cave Wolf, High Salamander No. 2. It would be nice if there were more loopholes like this.'

But it’s useless to think too much right now. Taking the next step quickly is the first priority.

"The components of Cage Tree No. 3 move forward, while the remaining tanks and ancient trees continue to attack within the range."

While giving instructions to the cluster of ancient trees, he turned to signal to several other witch doctors, and then led them closer to the center.

As for Azshara.

Although there was boundless fear before, which once spread along the spiritual connection between them, there was no deepest feeling of panic after all, so he knew that the other person was still alive.
