"Yach." Barnacle seemed to have heard of this name before. He also had a little impression of this centaur, "You did a good job just now. When we return to the Fallen Angel Empire, I will reward you heavily."
"Thank you, sir." The centaur struggled to sit up, "I'm afraid only a few of our brothers escaped. Sir, didn't you say that the higher-ups will send someone to the north of Town Leia for support? Why didn't I see it? "
As soon as this was mentioned, Barnacle couldn't help but clench his teeth. Now, after fighting for a long time for no reason, he still didn't know which despicable guy planned this insidious scheme!
"That's not me. It's someone in disguise. We all fell into a trap!" Barnacle said with a gloomy face, "However, today's battle isn't without any gains. Just now, I already had a vague understanding of the power of Demon King. If a Great Demon doesn't have a mutated bloodline, the limit is usually Higher Demon. It's too rare to have such an opportunity. If I can reach Demon King, even if the Red Spirit Estate can't accommodate me, I can still switch to the Blue Lava Estate. Yach, follow me. I won't treat you badly. "
"Of course, I will follow sir." When Yach heard that Barnacle vaguely understood the mystery of Demon King's power, a strange light flashed in his eyes. He showed a curious look, "Sir is familiar with the Blue Lava Estate? If we go like this, will we be looked down upon by those guys? "
"No," Barnacle's tone was very firm. "Lavat, the deputy leader of the Double-headed Dragon Legion of the Blue Lava Estate, had contacted me before. He even revealed the Blue Lava Lord's intention to recruit me. The Double-headed Dragon Legion is a secret elite force of the Blue Lava Estate, directly under the Blue Lava Lord. If I can understand the power of Demon King, I will definitely be valued by the Blue Lava Lord. Maybe I can even be an important position like the leader or deputy leader. "
Lavat? Double-headed Dragon Secret Legion?
The real Jacker was currently imprisoned in the mayor's mansion. The one who had courageously seized the Wind Demon Horse was naturally Chen Rui in disguise.
Barnacle's words made Chen Rui suddenly think of a blue badge in the storage warehouse with a double-headed dragon pattern on it. This badge was seized from the black merchant Silva in Dark Moon City that day. Silva smuggled people to the Blue Lava Estate many times. When encountering bandits, he only needed to show this badge to safely pass through the bandits' sphere of influence. Also, the name Lavat coincided with Silva's explanation.
It turns out to be the secret legion belonging to the Blue Lava Lord. No wonder even Old Gauss didn't recognize the origin of the badge!
This was an unexpected piece of information.
"Stop daydreaming. Tidy up this place. We'll rest by the woods at night." Barnacle said with dissatisfaction when he saw "Yach" staring blankly.
"Yes, sir." The centaur seemed to have woken up from a dream and began to get busy, clearing out a relatively clean space.
After finishing his work, the centaur took out a bottle of wine from his waist. As he was about to drink it himself, he suddenly thought of Barnacle next to him, so he quickly handed it over.
Barnacle took it and opened the cork. Suddenly, he had an idea. The centaur loved alcohol the most, so it was normal to carry wine with them. However, this wine bottle was made of porcelain instead of a portable leather bag. How did this centaur preserve this wine in such a good condition during the battle and escape? Could it be that an ordinary centaur also has expensive space equipment?
"You take a sip first." Barnacle returned the bottle.
Chen Rui knew that Barnacle had become suspicious. He immediately looked happy and took a sip. Just as he was drinking, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. He could no longer hide it. His figure flickered and dodged the fatal stab to his chest.
"You finally can't pretend anymore …" Barnacle looked at the unusually calm centaur and said contemptuously.
Just now, Barnacle not only wanted to test him, but he really wanted to kill him. Regardless of whether there was a problem with this centaur or not, he would be a burden by his side. It was better to kill him.
Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this stab.
"Who are you?" The long-handled scythe in Barnacle's hand pointed at "Yach".
This centaur was terrifyingly scheming. There must be a problem with the bottle of wine just now. If I didn't have an extra thought just now, I would have been fooled.
In fact, Chen Rui couldn't help it. The wine bottle was filled with wine … and the poison dragon Paglio's strongest venom. An ordinary leather bag couldn't hold it at all. Even this kind of porcelain bottle would be corroded and penetrated after a while, unless he used a high-level potion bottle that was enchanted by magic from a potioneer. If he used a potion bottle, wouldn't he be telling the other party that it was a bottle of poison?
Barnacle's cautiousness was beyond Chen Rui's expectation. He knew that this battle was inevitable. He secretly gathered Star Power and said faintly, "I'm the one who wants your life."
"Your strength should be a Higher Demon. Otherwise, you definitely couldn't dodge that stab just now." A cold light flashed in Barnacle's eyes, "This isn't your true face right? Is there a need to continue the disguise now?"
This Great Demon was right. He did use "camouflage", but this kind of camouflage that expanded into a centaur wasn't suitable for battle. Therefore, Chen Rui restored his body to its usual state, but his face became another person. Another Chen Rui, which was the ordinary otaku face on Earth.
For the first time, he appeared in the Demon Realm with this face.
Barnacle frowned slightly: The opponent's transformation skill is very amazing. If I didn't accidentally see through it just now, I wouldn't be able to see the flaws with my peak Higher Demon eyesight.
Barnacle's scheming was deep. He immediately reacted, and the expression on his face was even more shocked: The strength, scheming and transformation skills that this person showed, could it be that he pretended to be me during the many unexpected events today …
"Who the hell are you?" Barnacle yelled. "The changes in the town today must be caused by you! Who is the mastermind behind you! "
In Barnacle's opinion, the person behind the scenes was sinister and vicious, so he wouldn't be so unwise to take the risk himself. However, the person in front of him must be a key figure. As long as he could capture him, there might be room for turning around or easing today's fiasco.
Barnacle's reaction was a little beyond Chen Rui's expectation, but he didn't say any nonsense. With a shake of his hand, the wine in the bottle was like a water arrow, splashing toward Barnacle. Barnacle cautiously launched a teleportation. The ground that was splashed by the wine was scorched black. The nearby plants and trees were scorched or even evaporated in an instant. Barnacle was shocked to see this.
Just as he was stunned, he saw the opponent had already pounced and punched him. Although the opponent's breath was still weak, Barnacle didn't dare to relax at all. His whole body was burning with demonic fire, and he blocked with his sword.
Chen Rui only felt a strong force surging. This simple block was like a solid shield. His punch was like hitting a mountain; he couldn't move it at all. His whole body was sent flying by the rebounding force. He flipped in the air and landed on the ground. It seemed that Barnacle's defensive ability was still above his imagination. Under the joint attack of Larks and Boru, two peak Higher Demons, he was able to defend so well. Furthermore, he launched a surprise attack and killed one person. It was definitely not due to luck.
Barnacle had another feeling. He felt that the power of this punch was like a turbulent wave, majestic and surging. It actually passed through the scythe's parry and surged into his body wave after wave. Although he didn't retreat, his feet had already sunk into the soil. Fortunately, he managed to send the opponent flying in time. Otherwise, the aftereffect would be even stronger.
This probing caused both sides to raise their vigilance a step further. Other than the poison dragon and Lomont, excluding the time when Arux tore [Aurora Shot] apart, Barnacle was the strongest enemy that Chen Rui had fought so far.
In Barnacle's view, this enemy's power level was clearly only at the middle stage of Higher Demon. He was still a step away from the later stage, but the majestic power that was emitted almost made him, a peak Higher Demon who was already coveting the Demon King-level, suffer a loss. He must not be underestimated.
Although Chen Rui found out that Barnacle's defense was super strong, he didn't show the slightest bit of fear. He shouted and took the initiative to attack. The power that came from the surging sea in his fist surged out. Wave after wave, he attacked Barnacle without reservation. Barnacle's defense was completely different from Culia's, who relied on his body to break rocks on his chest. This was a combination of strength and skills. As the sword danced, although he defended more than he attacked, he was still as firm as a rock.
In this strong impact of attack and defense, Chen Rui faintly felt a new feeling. It was like the sparks produced by the sharpening of the blade. Although it was fleeting, the more times it was sharpened, the stronger the strength, and the hotter the sparks became.
If he could grasp and familiarize himself with this new feeling, he might be able to break through the original bottleneck and take a key step toward the perfect stage of the Mizar state.
However, a battle was a life and death struggle, not a special training with reservations. Although Chen Rui's surging power was powerful, it consumed a lot of Star Power. Even if the [Astral Form] had a recovery characteristic, the speed of replenishment was still much higher than the speed of consumption.
Barnacle's combat experience was extremely experienced. After feeling that his opponent's attack power began to weaken, he was about to launch a counterattack. However, he didn't expect that his opponent actually didn't fight him head-on, but turned around and fled.
Barnacle chased all the way and circled several times in the woods. Then, he saw Chen Rui turned to the tree where the Wind Demon Horse was tied, got on the horse and ran. Originally, Chen Rui wanted to kill the other mount, but Barnacle followed closely. It was too late, so he immediately urged the horse to flee. The starting speed of the Wind Demon Horse was very fast. Although its endurance was not as good as those land dragons that could travel long distances, it was still stronger than ordinary demonic beasts. Even though it had been running for a long time, it was still running fast.
Barnacle knew that he must catch this person, or else he wouldn't be able to report back to the Red Spirit Estate. He immediately got on the other horse and urged it to chase. What surprised Barnacle was that he was originally proud of his excellent beast-taming skills, but the guy in front of him was even better. If he didn't use the power of the demonic fire to stimulate and urge the Wind Demon Horse to speed up, he might have been left far behind.
What was even more annoying was that the guy was desperately drinking potions while fleeing. He didn't know how many potions were stored in the space equipment, but the bottles that were thrown behind him were endless.
Could it be that he brought a magic potion shop with him? Barnacle clenched his teeth and chased closely.
