I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Pulling up Philen's sleeve, Jian saw the Mirror Lotus bracelet on Philen's wrist and felt a little relieved.

This is the bracelet that Xu Tark chose for Philen in the past, and Philen attaches great importance to it.

At the beginning, Xuturk asked Philen very unemotionally if he wanted to change to a better-looking one. Philen was so angry that he ignored Xuturk for a long time. If it weren't for Jian's persuasion, this "cold war" would probably have lasted more than half a day.

"This is the first gift Lord Xutalk gave me"... I remember that this is what Philen said at the time. If this bracelet was lost, Philen would definitely be very sad.

So why don't these two get married?!

Is it fun to keep the audience on suspense? ! !

"Didn't we just fall asleep because of the monster's attack? You'd better check if you have lost anything."

Ash warned them, "Perhaps the jewel bugs stole something while we were asleep."

After Jian's reminder, Fulilian and the other two began to check their personal belongings.

Neither Philen nor Shuttalk lost anything, and Ash nodded in satisfaction. But when she saw Fulilian staring at the opened suitcase in a daze, a bad premonition came to her mind.

"What's wrong? Fulilian, did you really lose something?"

"…It's okay, it's nothing important."

Fulilian closed the trunk and turned to meet Ash's gaze. "Let's go and continue exploring this floor."

Staring at Fulilian's face, Jian frowned, then grabbed Fulilian's hand.

"Tell me first what you lost."

"I already told you it's not something very important... Besides, if the Gem Bug took it while we were asleep, it would most likely have been taken by the Gem Bug Queen by now, and we wouldn't have a chance to get it back..."

"Don't worry about that. Just tell me what you lost."

Xutalk and Philen were very surprised...it seemed like the first time they saw Ash so impatient.

Perhaps she was frightened by the persistence displayed by Yu Jian at the moment, or perhaps it was because of something else... Fulilian opened her mouth.

"It's... a ring that Xin Meier gave me."

"...Does it have a flower on it? The same style as the bracelet that Fearon has?"

Fulilian nodded wordlessly.

Standing behind Ash, Xutalk and Feiren were silent.

The back of Jian became extremely terrifying in their eyes at this moment!

Without saying a word, Jian let go of Fulilian's hand and walked straight towards the door leading to the next floor.

"Master Jian, where are you going?"

"Does that need to be said?"

Jian turned around, her pretty face as cold as ice.

If you look directly at his figure, it is as if you are witnessing the Fimbulwinter in Norse mythology, which foreshadows the twilight of the gods.

"I'm going to kill that insect queen."

Chapter 441: A corner of “powerful”.

"Eh?"

Both Hugh Tark and Fearon were stunned.

It wasn't until Jian's figure completely disappeared from their sight that they realized...it seemed like the other party wasn't joking?

"Lady Fulilian, didn't you say that the Gem Worm Queen was invincible?"

"That's right."

Fulilian nodded. "Physical attacks are unlikely to be effective, and magical attacks will adapt. Therefore, the best way to defeat the Gem Worm Queen is to continuously attack with a variety of powerful spells and eliminate it before it can adapt."

"However, humans have limited energy and lifespans, so human magicians typically learn many spells while only cultivating one to perfection. While this focus allows human magicians to possess considerable combat effectiveness against ordinary enemies, they are completely suppressed by the adaptable Gem Worm Queen. That's why I say that the Gem Worm Queen is nearly impossible to defeat in this era."

"Demons live much longer than humans, but their worship of power is even more extreme than humans. They study magic solely to become stronger, so demon magicians spend their entire lives specializing in a single type of magic, unlike humans who learn folk magic for convenience. Even with this kind of magic, it's difficult for them to defeat the Gem Worm Queen."

"While we can rely on numbers to make up for it, the Gem Queen usually stays within her lair. The confined and narrow space is destined to prevent too many magicians from entering, so relying on numbers to win is unrealistic."

It sounded as if Fulilian really believed that the Gem Worm Queen was invincible, but Philen realized something from Fulilian's words.

"Human lifespan is short, while demons value strength."

Philen said, "Lady Fulilian, are you saying that if it were an elven magician, they could defeat the Gem Worm Queen?"

Hugh Tark, who was a bit slow to react, also said: "So, if it's Ash and Fulilian, they have a chance of winning, right?"

Hugh Tark and Fearon's eyes gleamed, but Flillian said, "Well... I'm not sure. After all, I've never fought a Gem Worm Queen, so any chance of victory is only theoretical."

"Then... Lady Jian..."

"There's no need to worry about Ash."

Fulilian smiled. "Although she may seem reckless in battle, she's actually quite serious and never does anything without confidence. Since she said she wants to destroy the Gem Worm Queen, that means she has a clear chance of winning."

"Haven't I said it before? Ash's talent is far superior to mine. Although she was born only a hundred years ago, her magical power far exceeds mine. She also masters a variety of powerful spells. I can't imagine defeating her at all... Perhaps only Celie can surpass her in magic."

"But, well..."

Fulilian glanced at the open door and said, "Let's follow him. Although I trust Jian very much, it's really hard to wait here."

Looking at Fulilian's back, Feilun suddenly said: "It's rare that Lady Fulilian would find it difficult."

"I do like wasting time, sure... but if possible, I'd like to waste it on things I enjoy, not on meaningless waiting, like when Sinmel spent thirteen hours posing for his bronze statue... I really don't want to go through that torture again."

"Lady Fulilian's eyes look so empty... It's strangely scary."

Even Hugh Turk couldn't help but complain: "I'm more concerned about what kind of enthusiasm can make someone willing to waste thirteen hours posing."

Although Jian had been gone for some time, it was still very easy for Fulilian and the others to track him down.

Because wherever Ash walked, he would leave behind traces of magic as cold as winter, and Fulilian and the others just had to follow these traces.

The deeper they went, the less emotion Flillian showed, but Philen and Shuttalk became more and more frightened.

Because it is a ruin that has never been entered by anyone, there are many traps and monsters that have occupied it as their lair.

Generally, adventurers who come to explore the ruins will try their best to avoid traps, and if they encounter monsters, they will destroy them if they can, and run away if they cannot defeat them.

However, it seemed that someone was in too much of a hurry, and most of the mechanisms on the road were triggered.

When Fulilian and the others passed by, they found that all the triggered traps had been violently dismantled.

A large hole was melted into the wall made of super-hard metal.

The guardian made of magic has countless iron swords stuck in his body.

The huge boulder was broken into countless pieces.

Also, there must be a lot of monsters in this ruins, but they have been walking for so long and haven't seen any.

What does it mean?

This means that all the monsters have been dealt with by the people in front!

From nervousness, to shock, to numbness... the two people following Fulilian felt like they were sleepwalking, and everything around them was so unreal.

Afterwards, they entered an empty hall again. Everything in the hall was very similar to the previous floor.

However, many fragments on the ground attracted Philen's attention.

"Those are...gargoyles?!"

"What! A gargoyle?!"

There was a reason why Phelan and Hugh Turk were so surprised.

Gargoyles are quite advanced magical creations. Even a first-level magician can easily defeat one gargoyle. Facing two would be more difficult, but if facing three or more at the same time, he would basically consider retreating first.

Judging by the fragments on the ground, Philen came to a horrifying conclusion.

There must be at least twelve gargoyles in this hall!

The most important thing is that Philen and the others did not see the figure of Jian, and they did not even feel the fluctuations of magic power caused by the battle.

Because all the traps and monsters along the way were dealt with by Zhi, theoretically speaking, Fulilian and the others should be able to pass this section a little faster than Zhi.

In addition, there are no traces of magical battles in this hall.

All these clues point to the same conclusion - these gargoyles were all eliminated in a very short time!

Although Fulilian has always said that Ash is very strong, Philen and Shuttalk have never known how strong this "very strong" is.

There has always been a lack of a practical concept.

It was not until today that they got a glimpse of this "power".

"You two, stop staring at those useless clods of dirt. If you waste too much time here, by the time we catch up with Ash, she might have already killed the Gemworm Queen."

Chapter 442: Prototyping the Holy Spear.

There is no obstruction all the way in the ruins.

"I've never had such an easy ruins adventure before. I reached the bottom without doing anything."

"It's because Master Jian has broken all the traps up front that we can be so relaxed now, Master Xutark."

Hugh Turk also experienced the beauty of having a big boss to lead him.

But then he remembered that he had questioned Jian's magical ability not long ago, and he suddenly felt unwell.

Seeing the change in Hugh Tark's expression from leisurely to terrified, a small question mark appeared on Philen's head.

Suddenly, Fulilian and Philen's expressions froze.

In their magical perception, a large-scale distortion occurred not far ahead. The large amount of violent information transmitted through magical perception made Philen feel a sharp pain in his brain.

Although Xiutark did not have such a convenient skill as magic perception, his naturally timid character made him extremely sensitive to danger. At this moment, his limbs were trembling rhythmically.

"This is Ash's magic. The battle has begun!"

Fulilian began to quicken her pace, "The location is not far from here, hurry up!"

Philen also ran two steps, but found that Xuturk was still standing there.

"Lord Xutark, please hurry up."

"Hmm...but it's so scary ahead..."

Hugh Turk had a sad face.

In the spacious hall, "branches" that look a bit like tree roots but have a jewel-like luster are all over the hall. The ceiling, walls, and floor are all covered with such branches.

In the hall, a large number of gem bugs that can cause people to suffer from claustrophobia are crawling aimlessly, and the gem bug queen is standing in the middle of the hall without moving.

The shell of the Gem Worm Queen is also crystal clear like a gem. Its height of over ten meters makes it look extremely oppressive. Its eight legs are very thick and hard, and the two front ones have a sickle-like structure. If you look closely, you will find that the gem-like "branches" around it are all extending from the Gem Worm Queen's abdomen.

Jian stepped lightly into the hall. It was obvious that the entire hall had become the nest of the Gem Worm Queen.

Gemworms are not aggressive, and the Gemworm Queen will not actively emit hostility... Ash, who just entered this hall, is still safe.

But if she gets too close to the Gem Worm Queen's "treasure trove", she will be attacked with lightning speed.

"You are different from other monsters. You won't hurt others. Under normal circumstances, I would turn a blind eye to your actions."

Jian's gaze was stern, and his cold words had already announced the other party's death. "But, you moved something you shouldn't have moved today."

"That overly slow-witted elf may not care, but I can't just sit back and watch."

Magic power began to gather on the staff, but the Gem Worm Queen in front of him still did not react.

"Because of the limited space, we can't use large-scale annihilation techniques. It would be bad if the place collapsed... So, this will do."

Jian raised his hand, and something was taking shape above his head.

"Magic power contraction, building a fantasy magic circuit, wide-area annihilation technique—Holy Spear Longomyniad, partial reload… trajectory correction, error search… correction, compressed impact range, maximized magic power efficiency, simulated mythical shell and covered…"

Then, three aqua-blue holy spears were hung high above Jian's head, with nine magic circles arranged in front of the spear tips, locking onto the Gem Worm Queen as the target.

It wasn't until her life was threatened that the Gem Worm Queen finally moved.
