Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1493 1465. The center of the barrier

After Lan En's [Spiritual Vision] was activated, he could see the power wrapped around the Qilin, causing it to lose its physical strength like a flood.

These powers extended from the various mountains of Jiulin Mountain in a clever way, involving the Qilin who had just headed into the mountain gate.

The barrier of Changzai Temple is more than that.

Because the Qilin was the first to rush to the middle of the mountain, it was suppressed by the barrier of Changzai Temple.

But as the monk soldier that Lan En threw down just now said: They are actually all suppressed by the barrier.

It's just that the force of suppression is much smaller than that of the main bearer, the Qilin.

But even so, the body of a normal creature is far from that of the ancient dragon of the New World.

For example, Wuming and Flannel Ball, the physical energy consumption of each action of the two of them is estimated to be one twentieth faster than the normal state, and the recovery speed of physical strength is also about one twentieth slower.

And it can be predicted that the further they go up the mountain, the stronger the suppression they will receive.

This is the result after Qilin endured the suppression of half of the mountain road alone.

So although Lan En didn't know whether this big temple in Minong was in a chaotic world and had this kind of vigilance and defense measures on a daily basis, or whether there was any special situation recently that made them more alert.

But the moment the pressure of the barrier was pressed on him, Lan En immediately changed his response strategy flexibly.

To be on the safe side, he should dismantle the barrier first.

"You huh~" Wuming's breath was slightly scattered, but he immediately adjusted it with superb skills, "Don't you feel tired?"

"Of course I am tired." Lan En continued to look at Qilin and the sky with deep eyes, while responding to Wuming. "But I am in good health, so I can't see it."

This is the truth.

The barrier of Changzai Temple seems to accelerate the consumption of physical strength and slow down the recovery of physical strength according to a certain ratio.

So Qilin, who has bottomless physical strength under normal circumstances, can be consumed like this.

Lan En is certainly no exception.

But on the one hand, his extraordinary martial arts skills allowed Lan En to change his exercise strategy immediately after he noticed that his physical energy consumption was not right.

Now every movement of his body is in "energy saving mode".

And [Gene Seed] and [Holy Gland] help Lan En to perfectly control his body metabolism.

On the other hand, the [Second Heart] in the body accelerates blood pumping, and high-energy blood carries energy density far exceeding that of normal people to transport the whole body.

Although it is still not as good as the monsters in the New World, let alone the ancient dragons. But compared to normal humans, Lan En's physical reserve in normal state is already like a monster.

Physical energy is indeed being consumed at an accelerated rate, but it has not dropped to the level that allows Lan En to breathe for a long time, so he certainly does not look tired on the outside.

"But isn't your skill of directly recovering a large part of the consumed physical strength also very powerful?" Lan En praised sincerely, "[Zanxin] is really useful."

"You don't know [Zanxin]?" Wuming looked at the demon hunter in surprise, "Basic! This is the basic skill! No matter what weapon you practice, everyone who practices martial arts must know it, right?"

"I'm so sorry." Lan En shrugged, "I practiced something else. The control of physical strength and life energy is not the same as here."

Wuming nodded thoughtfully: "That's very interesting. Do you want to learn [Zanxin]?"

"Oh? Can I?"

"I said, this is just the basic skill. Basic, basic, skill! Anyone can do it."

"Thank you very much." Lan En thanked him sincerely, "Wait until we get down the mountain. We have to finish the [filth] thing first."

Wu Ming nodded: "Of course."

And then, the hunter's mind heard Mentos' steady report: "Data collection is complete."

"Based on the analysis of the power veins and distribution, I marked four hubs. I don't rule out other hubs, but the possibility of these four is all above 96.32%, sir."

"Well done, Mentos."

"It's my honor to serve you."

While communicating, the biochemical intelligent brain projected its calculation results to the corners of the subject's retina.

After Lan En saw it clearly in an instant, he set off immediately.

Deviating from the mountain road that continued to go up, he went straight to the remote, difficult and densely vegetated wild road.

The fluffy ball bit his little tiger teeth behind him and pushed the tired Qilin forward to follow.

Although Wu Ming didn't understand where Lan En was going, he followed him.

The undeveloped and unrepaired wild mountain road was not easy to walk on, and coupled with the extra physical exertion caused by the barrier, Wuming couldn't help but push the evil ghost mask up to his forehead to make his breathing smoother.

The demon hunter looked at Lan En, who was walking on flat ground, and Qilin and Flannel Ball, who were walking freely on the wild mountain road even though they were very tired, in confusion.

It seems that they are indeed not in the same way as what they practice here.

The warriors here are very taboo about this kind of rugged and dangerous environment, because their martial arts and the precise control of physical strength by [Zanxin] need to be carried out in a stable environment.

In simple terms, the lower body must be stable enough and the breathing must be stable enough.

If it is a person with superb martial arts and a stable mentality, who has no fear at all when the blade is approaching, it is possible to find a relatively stable moment during the movement and complete [Zanxin].

But most people probably won't be able to reach this level in their lifetime.

Therefore, anyone who practices martial arts is very averse to this kind of terrain, especially in the battlefield, and will not easily go there.

Wuming now feels a little panicked due to lack of security.

"Are you tired too, meow?" The fluffy ball was pushing the unicorn up with its back, and the kitten's face was squeezed together because of the force.

But after sensing the uneasy inner feeling under Wuming's calm expression, the fluffy ball still took the time to flip through his small waist bag.

He took out a bamboo tube from it, uncorked the wooden stopper of the bamboo tube and drank a sip himself.

"Puha!"

Then he jumped onto the back of the unicorn and poured the rest into its still drooling mouth.

Then he took out another bamboo tube from his small waist bag and handed it to Wuming.

"It seems to be called [Divine Water], which can speed up physical recovery! Here you go, meow!"

Through the guardian spirit, although they didn't know what the other party was saying, they could directly feel the other's intentions.

Wuming was not unfamiliar with the sacred water. She even knew a few small shrines that could provide regular supplies.

But when Wuming took the bamboo tube from the kitten, she looked at the flannel ball with a calm look: ". Kawaii."

The demon hunter said the words of emotion in a very calm tone.

I read the correct version in the 16-9 book forum!

The flannel ball was a little confused and let out a soft "meow" before holding her helmet and turning her head away.

"Oh, you make me feel embarrassed when you say that, meow!"

The sacred water sent by the priest village chief of the Thirteen Sakura Village was effective.

It increased the physical recovery speed of the drinker, which was better than nothing for Qilin, but for Wuming and the flannel ball, it had offset the influence of the barrier.

But if you continue to go up the mountain, the pressure of the barrier will become greater, and the sacred water will only be effective in a small area at this height.

With Lan En leading the way, they felt they had walked a long way on the mountain road, but in fact, they were only about 600 to 700 meters away from the main entrance.

But even in these 600 to 700 meters, people could not see any trace of the main entrance when they looked back.

Finally, Lan En pushed aside a patch of lush weeds.

A stone pillar that was almost two people tall and one person thick appeared in front of them.

The octahedral stone pillar, each side of which was engraved with verses from the Lotus Sutra, the "only true law" believed by the Nichiren sect.

The base was in the shape of a lotus platform.

And now that the barrier was activated, there was a faint golden light flickering on the stone pillar, which was ordinary in material.

"The hub is confirmed. It seems that my calculation is correct, sir."

Mentos erased one of the four marks on the corner of Lan En's retina.

Lan En nodded silently, and the Arondite in his hand was slightly raised.

But then, he dodged sideways.

Behind him, the Qilin, who was still drooling from exhaustion, had found someone to vent his anger on. He lowered his head and mustered his remaining strength to crash into the lotus stone pillar.

Lan En was watching it from the side.

The sharpness of the Qilin's horns was unquestionable, but when the Qilin lowered his head and pushed forward, the tip of the crystal horn was still five or six centimeters away from the main body of the stone pillar.

The golden light that had been flowing smoothly on the surface of the stone pillar suddenly expanded outward, blocking the Qilin's horns outside.

The Qilin itself didn't have much strength left, so why would it bother to break a pillar?

As a result, he was hit by the golden light from the opposite side, and his feet slipped directly, and he fell to the ground with a "thump".

"It's easy to imagine that the core of the mountain gate barrier is not protected at all."

Wuming came from behind and complained at the Qilin who fell to the ground.

The Qilin stood up from the ground with great effort, cursing, and the physical strength that had just been replenished by the Imperial Divine Water was gone again.

"This pillar looks like it has been maintained recently." Lan En said as he helped to prop up the Qilin. "There are traces of wiping and polishing on it, it's very new."

"That is to say, you need a specific method or token to approach it." Bai Ze appeared in the void, stroking his beard and said, "Well, it's also a common formation setting."

"So, do we have to look for the bodies of the monks we just killed?"

Wu Ming's shoulders slumped.

"It's not certain that we can find them." Bai Ze added another knife to her, "After all, the status of the monks is not high. They may be in the hands of the governor or the hall master."

"How can we find them? Those people must be in the main hall of the temple on the mountain. I don't know if I have the strength to stand after going up the mountain."

"Then let's not look for them." Lan En interrupted, and at the same time, the sword of the lake girl in his hand moved back and forth on the golden light on the outer layer of the stone pillar, as if aiming at a target that ordinary people could not see.

As soon as he finished speaking, the long knife in his hand stabbed in directly and neatly!

With a sound of "crackling", like the sound of glass breaking, the golden light that Qilin had not pierced just now when he lowered his head and rushed forward was directly stabbed in by the tip of the knife.

"We have already crossed the mountain, and we still care about his bullshit rules."

The golden light was like a substance, and it shattered into light fragments, followed by a "sizzling" sound.

Lan En pulled out the blade, and then slashed again smoothly. The upper half of the entire stone pillar slid down along the smooth cut surface and shattered to the ground.

The scriptures on it were also cut off, and the feeling of being restrained by invisible pressure on the people suddenly became lighter.
