Chapter 275: Light of Destiny
After narrowing the range, Chen Ran, who could scout with the Light Bird spell, could easily track the existence of the little elf dragon. But that little thing was really clever. It didn’t give anyone a chance to get close at all, and led a group of elves to fly toward the core area of the Eternal Tree.
As they went deeper, there were more and more things to worry about.
As everyone knew, the closer to the towering ancient tree, the Eternal Tree, the greater the danger. Next, they would face high-level creatures above the tenth tier.
But to complete the mission, they had to bite the bullet and force their way in.
Because of the danger of the forbidden area, some elf rangers with insufficient strength gave up the idea of continuing the chase. Basically, more than 60% of the elf rangers would stop outside that dangerous forbidden area. If they went further, they would only face death if they encountered the Kinaya Demon Leopard, the forest hunter, or the Chimera, which could easily corrode people into venom. Without more than five ninth-tier elf rangers, it was impossible to pose a threat to them.
In addition, the tenth-tier elemental bodies were called Elemental Titans. They already had the most basic IQ judgment, and some even had forbidden-level spells with a larger range. Their attacks were no joke.
After a chase, Chen Ran and Aurelia were led into the forbidden area by the little elf dragon. Now, even Chen Ran, who always had many methods, had no best coping plan.
Those guys were just too fierce…
At this time, discovering the little elf dragon again, Chen Ran and Aurelia chased into a rocky slope.
What was originally thought to be a small hill was discovered to be a sleeping Mountain Giant. When it stood up, its huge body, fully thirty meters high, was shocking. That huge body could easily trample a person into meat sauce with a casual step.
And that damn little elf dragon was jumping proudly on the Mountain Giant’s body, looking at Chen Ran and Aurelia, who were chasing relentlessly, with a triumphant look.
Chen Ran looked gloomy. “There’s no other way. We can only force it now. After buffing, act freely.”
Casting all the support and explosive power-enhancing Demonized Body on Aurelia, Chen Ran also cast a set on himself to increase the chance of success in this battle.
After demonization, Aurelia showed extraordinary power. At this time, she possessed super strength and was not afraid of the huge Mountain Giant at all.
She skillfully drew her bow and nocked an arrow. Huge energy fluctuations condensed on her arrowhead.
Arcane Fire Cloud-Piercing Arrow!
A divine arrow with layers of wind rings shot out suddenly. This arrow in the peak state of demonization was earth-shattering. The Mountain Giant tried to use its marble-like sturdy giant arm to block the attack, but the Cloud-Piercing Divine Arrow with its miraculous power instantly blasted away a whole long arm.
At that moment, countless rubble rolled down from the Mountain Giant’s long arm, and the whole valley rumbled like a landslide.
But defensive creatures were tough. An arrow that could kill a tenth-tier Elemental Titan only caused heavy injuries to it, unable to cause fatal damage.
At the same time, with the wind flowing, Chen Ran finally completed the Moon-Chasing Heavenly Wolf transformation within 30 seconds. With four limbs on the ground, he quickly rushed up the huge body of the Mountain Giant.
Chen Ran moved very fast. With sharp claws, he could even grab the rugged stone wall of the Mountain Giant and rush up, rushing directly from the ankle to the shoulder of the Mountain Giant in one go.
The little elf dragon was startled. The flashing light ball on its body began to jump, swimming on the Mountain Giant’s body.
Chen Ran climbed to the shoulder of the Mountain Giant, but found that the little thing was on the arm of the stone giant again. He had to follow the stone arm again and run toward the little elf dragon.
After several chases, Chen Ran got closer and closer to the little elf dragon. The Mountain Giant wanted to slap the little thing on its body to death, but its clumsy speed could do nothing to Chen Ran in the Demon Wolf state. On the other side, Aurelia’s Cloud-Piercing Arrow pierced a huge hole in the Mountain Giant again.
Looking at the elf dragon only a dozen meters away, Chen Ran knew that the little guy was going to move again. With a sudden flash, Chen Ran disappeared on the spot. Losing Chen Ran’s trace in its field of vision, the little elf dragon panicked instinctively, but saw a shadow looming behind it.
“Let’s see where you run now!”
With an emergency Instantaneous Movement, Chen Ran took advantage of the moment when the little elf dragon was not paying attention to teleport behind it. He proudly extended his two paws and firmly grabbed at the pale golden ball…
Then…
Boom!
A loud air explosion. Chen Ran’s whole body was heavily blown away, falling gorgeously from the Mountain Giant more than thirty meters high…
The moment he landed, Chen Ran shuddered and quickly did a mid-air flip, landing on all fours, landing steadily on the ground with a reasonable buffer. It was just that a lot of his bright white fur was blown off, falling to the ground, gradually turning into energy light fibers and disappearing into the air.
The little elf dragon above flapped its wings proudly again, very excited about Chen Ran’s defeat. Seeing Chen Ran’s murderous look, the little elf dragon quickly put another golden protective cover on itself.
This guy was smarter than imagined.
At this time, the elf dragon floating on the Mountain Giant seemed tired of playing. With a “gulu” sound, it turned into a small energy ball again and began to phase shift. No matter how sharp Aurelia’s divine arrow was, it dodged them one by one and soon disappeared from sight again.
When Chen Ran wanted to chase, the Mountain Giant blocked him again.
“Go to hell!”
Taking advantage of the last effective time of the demonized state, Chen Ran knew that it was impossible to chase that little thing again. With all his strength, he jumped more than ten meters high from the ground, and with a powerful impact, he heavily knocked the Mountain Giant, which was dozens of times larger than him, to the ground. Then, he slapped a stone-shattering blow on that huge stone skull…
Bang!
Gorgeous as scattered flowers, flying stones splashed all over the sky. The tenth-tier Mountain Giant was shaken into a pile of rubble alive. After struggling for a while, it finally didn’t get up. The stones on its body scattered in large pieces, becoming a pile of real stones.
The battle ended, and the demonized state dissipated.
Chen Ran sat on the pile of stones, resting his chin on his hand, puffing out his cheeks in annoyance.
On the other side, Aurelia walked over and jumped to Chen Ran’s side in a few steps.
“What a pity, just a little bit more…”
Aurelia’s tone was also a little awkward. Facing another failure that was infinitely close to the end, no one could be happy. But all this couldn’t be blamed on anyone. At least, they all tried hard.
Through the contact of these days, and the skilled cooperation with Chen Ran time and time again, even though these pursuits all ended in failure, she gradually enjoyed this unusual pursuit mission. She also forgot the annoying human identity of this guy and treated him as a true companion. At least, he was a very special guy.
A series of thrilling and unexpected battles was definitely something Aurelia had never experienced before. In the missions of the past few years, she had never been so passionate as now. She felt that she had learned more skills in these battles, and even faintly had a sign of breaking through again. For so many years, she hadn’t had this exciting feeling.
Correspondingly, her attitude toward Chen Ran was also much better.
However, the current Chen Ran was already competing with that little elf dragon.
“Your sister, your sister, your sister. Little thing, next time I catch you, I’ll deep fry you!”
Chen Ran was still unhappy.
Now, it was no longer about completing the mission or not. Being played again, even a clay bodhisattva would get angry. Although he had accumulated another lesson of catching, failure never had any excuse.
Relying on the Prayer Pendant to change back to human form, Chen Ran secretly absorbed the blood essence value of this Mountain Giant, adding a decent growth value to himself.
Under the continuous sublimation of pale golden energy, Chen Ran was stunned. Only then did he realize that he had leveled up again, reaching level 65. “Right, there should be a new skill again…”
Although there was a new skill, Chen Ran didn’t care too much.
The new skill at level 65 was called Light of Destiny… In the game back then, it was a continuous blood recovery skill. But then again, the skills at every five levels seemed to become special skills with special effects. He didn’t know what changes it would bring this time.
Opening the skill tree, looking at the first new skill that turned from gray to green.
Light of Destiny: Accelerates the growth of living bodies, effective on both plants and animals, and does not cause aging. Reaches the most vigorous period of the living body in advance, maintaining this state for a long time until the real age limit is reached before aging begins. Required level: 65.
“…”
Seeing this skill annotation, Chen Ran was a little confused. What does this skill mean? Ripening?
Coincidentally, he saw a small ant on the ground. He cast Light of Destiny on the small ant.
Under the feet of the small ant, a rising small pillar of light enveloped it. Under the effect of Light of Destiny, it actually gradually grew up and became a cockroach-sized adult mosquito.
“This…”
Chen Ran was stunned.
Did this mean that as long as there was enough magic power, using the skill of Light of Destiny, he could even directly ripen a little girl into a young woman? And according to the skill analysis, before the little girl reached the age of a young woman, she could remain in the state of a young woman until she reached her real age, and then she would grow again…
Light of Destiny, Light of Destiny, this was too heaven-defying…
Thinking of this, Chen Ran proudly shook his wolf tail.
Huh, tail?
Hadn’t he already changed back to human form?
Chen Ran came back to his senses, took out a mirror from his storage ring, and found that he was in human form, but there were still some beastly features…
Besides his big gray wolf tail, there was a pair of furry long ears on his head. A half-werewolf…
Aurelia at the side noticed this detail of Chen Ran and burst out laughing. Chen Ran threw the mirror back depressedly and asked Aurelia, “What’s going on? Why can’t the current transformation spell change back completely?”
“The effect of the Prayer Pendant is almost gone. It’s estimated that it’s only enough for you to transform one last time, so this time it’s not an absolute return, but it shouldn’t affect your normal actions in human form…” Aurelia looked Chen Ran up and down and said with satisfaction, “Actually, you look pretty good like this. Quite cute.”
