ALL NOVEL Chapter 104 [Justice Bombardment]
After meditating in the hotel for six days, Xia Zuo finally received news from Dim.
That evening, the setting sun was like blood, and the red setting sun hung on the horizon.
Xia Zuo woke up from meditation, raised his left hand habitually, then turned over and sat up, washed his face and then turned into a cloud of gas and floated out of the window.
He floated all the way out of the city, changing into human form from time to time in the bushes. He used the secret message ring to locate Dim's position, and then turned into a gas cloud and continued to float.
At the moment when the setting sun was about to sink into the horizon, Dim's carriage appeared on the mountain path not far away.
Xia Zuo got into his car and returned to his human form, "Here I come, Dim. I almost couldn't make it. Fortunately, I have recently shortened the duration of each meditation."
Dim turned his head and looked at the other person, "You stay inside and don't come out. We may chase you all the way outside the kingdom."
Xia Zuo half-hidden the carriage floor and looked at the dark forest ahead, "It's so dark that we won't lose it?"
"No, it is absolutely impossible to trace him. You provided us with excellent intelligence, and the enemy has not found any trace of you at all."
Dim shook his head and said:
"The army of Sbrier Province and the mages stationed in various places have been mobilized. They will block all enemies that interfere with our pursuit. The villages where the plague has broken out have also been sealed off. I am in Hemst. Some manipulations were done on the body, and we will chase Fritz wherever he goes, but we will not let him run without restriction."
Dim paused and asked, "How is your wind hand practice going?"
Xia Zuo scratched his head and said, "I think it's quite difficult to throw and catch the ball with the hands of the wind. I need to practice more."
Dim once said that there is something mysterious and special about the Hand of Wind.
Based on his training experience half a month ago, Xia Zuo confirmed that the special thing mentioned by the other party actually meant improving the strength and agility attributes.
Every 10 minutes of using the Hand of Wind to throw and catch a ball, you can get an experience, strength and agility bonus, but the value is too small, it is better to spend your time on deriving the raw materials of elemental poisons.
Therefore, Xia Zuo rarely practiced throwing and catching balls.
After hearing what the other party said, Dim scratched his beard and said in relief, "Take your time, you can lower the difficulty and start practicing with two balls."
The two chatted about tracking for a while, and then stopped talking.
Xia Zuo was practicing throwing and catching in the car, while Dim was half lying on the driver's seat meditating.
After five days like this, the surrounding trees became sparse and the green grass became more and more numerous.
On the morning of the sixth day, Xia Zuo ended his meditation, opened a window panel, and was surprised to find himself on a vast grassland.
"You're awake." Dim turned around and opened the carriage door. "This journey is almost over. Come and take a look, Fritz is running ahead of us carrying the body on his back."
Xia Zuo put on his hood, without revealing any trace of his face, and poked his eyes out from behind the door panel.
About a hundred meters away, there was a figure lying on the grass, carrying a body bag and running wildly on his hands and feet.
His appearance looks very strange, with a round head and dark gray limbs that are several minutes longer than a normal person. When he runs, his limbs move on the ground like wood pulp.
"Did you see Fritz's appearance?" Dim pointed to the figure in the distance.
Xia Zuo frowned, nodded and said, "I saw it, why did he become like this?"
"Hmph! If you want to become a blood mage, you have to pay a price. This is a promotion path full of sin." Dim said with disgust:
"Abandon your body, use the transformation ritual to turn yourself into a transformer made of dirty flesh and blood, get into the body of a living person to absorb nutrients, and perfect your body. To transform from a transformer to a formal blood mage, you need to absorb more than a hundred people life."
Dim raised his left hand. There was a secret message ring on his index finger and thumb.
He flicked the secret message ring on his index finger with his right hand a few times, and received a reply a few minutes later.
Dim glanced at the message on the ring, picked up the reins and pulled, "Hey~~"
When Carrot heard his master's command, he stopped with a long snort and snorted several times while panting.
"It's a shame that we couldn't lure that big fish out."
Dim looked into the distance with a hint of melancholy, "Did you know? Xia Zuo. Before I became a mage, I was a heavy armored infantryman."
He pointed at the black shadow running further and further away, "At that time, my biggest headache was this kind of enemy. They were flexible and moved fast. Whether they were fighting me or escaping, I couldn't do anything to them."
Dim patted the leather armor on his body, shook off a cloud of dust, and walked from the driver's seat to the grass.
Xia Zuo noticed that the light around Dim's body was distorted. When he looked carefully, a transparent shell emerged on the other person's body.
Dim took out a square, smooth metal cube from his pocket and buttoned it in the center of his chest.
The cube was embedded in the transparent shell. Circles of ripples appeared on the surface of the smooth cube, and then it quickly decomposed into countless small cubes. In an instant, they spread out, spread along the torso, and covered the transparent shell.
In just a few seconds, a set of matte gray-white heavy armor appeared on Dim's body, with a huge shield as high as a person behind him.
With a majestic body and thick armor, Dim is full of unwavering momentum.
It's just that the left and right shoulder armors are asymmetrical, which looks a bit strange.
The left shoulder is a normal shoulder armor, with an arc-shaped metal armor surface close to the shoulder circumference.
There is a metal protrusion on the right shoulder, and the shoulder armor is shaped like a snail shell.
"This is how I activated the elemental body. How about it, it's not bad. However, this elemental body hasn't been completed yet, so it looks a bit simple, haha~"
Dim laughed loudly and patted the metal bump on his right shoulder, "After I became an official mage, the head of the academy found me a big guy, and I am very satisfied with it. It took many years to get it. Fuse it with the elemental body."
The metal protrusion split from the middle, revealing extremely complex gears, hinges, rollers and a metal tube pointing to the sky. Just looking at the intricate mechanical structure makes people feel confused.
The gears turned, the hinges creaked, the rollers twisted, and the metal tubes stretched upward toward the sky.
In a series of crisp ratcheting sounds, the silver metal tube thickened and lengthened in circles, and then slowly tipped forward, being held by Dim's broad right hand.
Xia Zuo felt his scalp numb. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He actually saw a cannon fixed on his shoulder.
"What is this..." he asked, staring at the barrel that was thicker than his own arm.
"This is the Yuan Neng Cannon. The prototype is something invented by weapon alchemy. It is called artillery within the alchemy school. The head of the school transformed it into its current appearance based on the characteristics of my spell. You may know the principle of artillery in the future. Now. , let me take care of the enemy first, and by the way, I can show you the power of Yuan Neng Cannon."
Dim took a few steps to the side, making obvious dents in the grass under his feet with each step.
He came to a place ten meters away from the carriage, lifted the shield behind his back with his left hand, and inserted it diagonally into the soil.
He took a step forward with his left leg, kneeled on his right knee, leaned his back on the top of the shield, lifted the barrel of the gun with his right hand, stretched out his left arm, raised his left thumb, and clenched his remaining four fingers into a fist to point at the black shadow in the distance.
The black figure was already running very fast. When he heard the movement behind him, he paused and looked back, then fled towards the horizon at an even faster speed.
Fiery red light emanated from the muzzle.
From a distance of more than ten meters, Xia Zuo could still clearly sense that where the tail end of the gun barrel was connected to the heavy armor shoulder, there was an extremely powerful fireball condensing on Dim's right shoulder.
The air around Dim was distorted by the high temperature, and heat waves emanated from his shoulders and spread in all directions.
The fiery red light at the muzzle became brighter and brighter, gradually turning into yellow-white.
"boom!!"
A loud noise accompanied by violent air waves exploded around Dim.
The mane of the radish was blown sideways by the wind, and the grass blades fell to the ground and clung to the ground.
Xia Zuo's cloak fluttered and whistled.
He subconsciously covered his ears and looked up.
A dazzling ball of light shot out from the muzzle, dragging a long tail and drawing a huge arc in the sky.
Dim maintained the action of firing the light group, and his left thumb followed the light group in the sky. At the moment when his fingertips overlapped with the black shadow on the horizon, he pressed the vertical thumb, as if pressing the detonation button.
"Boom~~~~"
The light group exploded in the sky, turning into a bright flame, and the roar echoed across the prairie.
Xia Zuo felt his heart beating violently.
It's not that he has never seen the formation of artillery fire. He more or less learned about it through videos in his previous life.
But what he didn't expect was that the elemental body woven by the [Elemental Embodiment] meditation method could be combined with alchemy products to form a cannon that could be fired by a single person.
Moreover, looking at Dim's calm expression at this time, it doesn't take much energy to launch a luminous ball...
It is completely a living humanoid self-propelled cannon!
Xia Zuo held his chest and took a few deep breaths to calm down his turbulent mood. His previous understanding of spells and meditation methods was refreshed again.
"Hitting the enemy! It feels so good. I haven't used the Yuan Neng Cannon in many years. I really want to use more of these sneaky things so that I can practice my skills more."
Dim stood up, wiped the dirt off his knees, pulled the shield out of the dirt and put it back on his back, and retracted the barrel of the right shoulder into the metal bulge.
"What kind of spell is this, Dim?" Xia Zuo asked, looking at the bearded man coming towards him.
Dim buttoned the metal cube on his chest, and the heavy armor on his body disappeared, revealing the simple brown leather armor and the medicine belts tied to both shoulders.
He scratched his beard and said while thinking:
"Well... this is just a fireball technique fired from an energy cannon. With the help of the barrel, the flight distance of the fireball becomes extra long. If you really want to give it a name... there is a saying in the Silver Moon Federation That’s what they say, ‘Justice exists within the range of the artillery’. I think it’s a good name to call it [Justice Bombardment]. Haha~”
Dim patted Carrot's back, fed his draft horse a carrot, turned over and sat in the driver's seat, and warned:
"Let's go and see where the fireball exploded. Later, you can help me keep an eye on the surroundings. If you find squirming pieces of flesh or other weird things, just use the fireball to call them out. Don't hesitate."
"Oh oh oh, that's right." Dim picked up the reins and added:
"You have to keep track of how many pieces of meat you have destroyed. We will check it later to make sure nothing is missed."
"Okay, I'll pay attention." Xia Zuo nodded and reached out to touch the alchemy stone of life under his right armpit.
