Chapter 139: Unlocking the Demon Lock
Gwyndor's jaw dropped as he gazed at the scene in the crystal ball, previously twenty or more Frost Giants had been repelled by them into the castle, three thousand human troops also climbed over the city wall, now five hundred Frost Giants and more than ten thousand human militia, Pailos Castle was impossible to keep intact no matter what!
Thinking of this, Kuwa immediately sent all the new generation's white gold dog head people to the dwarf tribe, and then declared entry into a state of war. The surrounding areas of Paresburg were dug with various tunnels, and the magic was stirred up, making the ice cone deer outside the castle thicker by several layers.
The magic range of Palletsburg is just within a three-kilometer radius centered on Palletsburg, and there's really no way to expand it further.
Kuagu was always puzzled, why the powerful mage tower of Pailisburg was built in a place without any spiritual veins. Now the crystal ball he controlled was just an amplifier for his wizard's ability, rather than the true energy center of the mage tower.
The mage tower usually operates by drawing magical power from the ley lines, rather than absorbing it from the air. The 5% increase in magical energy around Pilersburg is also due to the ice-cold fruit planted under the castle and the magic-gathering array set up by Gwain.
Kua knew that this Pailos Tower in Fares was definitely another energy center. However, he didn't control the core part and had no idea what the core was.
While making war preparations, Guagua also recreated a projection of Xilang in the crystal ball. This projection can obey any command from anyone, and Guagua's authority has the highest priority. If Xilang doesn't carefully inspect it, he won't discover that this projection is no longer the one he set up.
Kua Ge's gamble on Xi Lang will never be seriously checked.
The people in the refugee camp were also armed and ready to resist these frost giants at any time. They were distributed simple weapons and began to receive military training.
A master's skill can be decisive when facing an enemy of equal strength, but when faced with overwhelming power, no amount of tricks will suffice. This is called "one force subdues ten skills", where brute force overcomes cleverness.
When he saw the Frost Giants, Gai Gu's mood was complicated. He felt sorry for his own castle's achievements and hoped that the Frost Giants had the ability to destroy the entire Pailos Castle.
If they can't hold out, they will escape through the tunnel at the first opportunity. Gua made such a decision.
Bronze Dragon Girl Rezley is not strong enough, nor is she her own servant, so it's impossible for her to help herself take that step. Moreover, Kaku himself has reservations in his heart towards Rezley and the White Gold Dragon God behind her, and doesn't want to fully lean towards them.
If all else fails, I can take my younger brother and escape to the depths of the northern ice field, wait until I cultivate into a dragon, and then come out to find Xilang and regain my territory. However, if I go out to mix in the northern district, I must have a large amount of resources and wealth...
At this point, Gua suddenly remembered that when he caught Kada, Kada said he knew of a huge treasure. At first, Gua thought he was just bragging to escape, and later when Kada took the blood vine as his magic pet, Gua didn't communicate with him either. Now if he asks where the treasure is, maybe it can be opened later.
Kua immediately came to Pilesburg, found Gada, and asked: "Gada elder, do you know where the treasure is?" Gada was suddenly asked this question, apparently stunned.
Then he floated out a mysterious smile and said, "Yes, I know that in the northern glacier valley, if the Great Elder wants, I can draw the map for you in detail." Next, Kada quickly drew out the map and handed it to Gua.
"Guava asked suspiciously: 'What kind of treasure is this? Why didn't you excavate it earlier?'"
Kada's eyes circled around and said, "This is a place where the Frost Giants hide their spoils of war. We don't dare to move, as there are more than 50 Frost Giants who often come to patrol."
When Gada said that, Guagua's heart cooled down a bit. He had been to several Frost Giant dens before, what valuable things could they store?
Kada seemed to have noticed Gua's loss and excitedly said, "There are many things in the treasure, many of them are fine pieces. We only took a glimpse from afar, but it feels like this Frost Giant tribe must have plundered the wealth of a human kingdom. The gold and jewels were piled up all over the ground, extremely rich!"
Gua Guagua gave him a strange glance, knowing that Jia Da must have had some problem, but what the problem was, Gua Guagua had no idea at all.
Isn't this treasure a huge trap? As long as I detect it well, the traps in Beidi will not be able to hold Guagua.
Kua nodded and said: "Very well, you can go down now. When the battle starts, you will be on the front line." Gada opened his mouth, murmured a few words, and then fell silent.
Back in the second floor of the Fa Xishi Tower, Guagua sat down with his legs crossed and patted Gou Jiao's shoulder who was resting.
Gudong was woken up by the camera and made a few "gudong" sounds, asking Guagua what was going on. Guagua picked up the iron key that was still tied to his neck with blue electricity.
This is what Silang tied around his own neck, used to bind himself.
Before leaving, this thing must be gotten rid of.
Through the spiritual connection between the demon pets, Guagua pointed to the iron key, and Goujue understood his meaning, crawling onto the iron key. However, a blue electric current ruthlessly struck Goujue's body, shrinking it by one part.
The electric current struck Gu Jiu's body, and through the magical contract, Yu Gua also felt that piercing pain, but he didn't retreat. Instead, he gritted his teeth and continued to command Gu Jiu to charge forward.
Soon, the iron key was completely wrapped in Guchi's body and slowly dissolving. At the same time, the blue electric current also bound Guagua's neck, tightly strangling his throat. Under the resistance of the metal scales, Guagua had not been strangled to death, but was suffocated with a bright red face.
After Gugu completely wrapped the iron key, the metal part gradually dissolved and disappeared, soon revealing the magical part inside.
This is a set of forbidden spells, and it's not too complicated. Of course, Xilang would never have the time or resources to use precious magical materials on a low-level dog-headed wizard like him, which also gave Gua a huge opportunity.
The main function of this set of forbidden spells is to instantly strangle the gourd's neck, until its head is cut off. In addition, there is also a positioning magic that can be used to determine where the gourd is located.
The two small magic spells were composed according to the coding method in the crystal ball. Gua Guan endured the discomfort on his neck, walked up to the crystal ball, pressed both hands on it, and instantly connected his mind with the crystal ball. With the crystal ball's triple calculation speed, Gua Guan slowly deciphered the power of this magic key through murmurs.
The transparent magic runes in the Magic Key disappeared one by one into Gugu's stomach filled with sticky liquid, after nearly half an hour, the Magic Key completely dissolved in Gugu's stomach. The blue electric current that was tightly bound to Guagua's neck suddenly loosened and fell onto several blue magic characters on Gugu's belly.
Gua Gua became interested and started studying this magical symbol in his rumbling belly.
This is some magical symbols. After repeated research in the belly, Guagua mastered two more spells. One is 【Magic Rope Technique】, this magic can generate a retractable rope, which is a must-have for killing people, traveling at home, and binding **.
Another type of magic is 【Electrification】, this magic can give any object an electric voltage and produce a strong current. If the object being electrified is insulated, these currents will also remain on the object for a long time until triggered.
Just now, Gua felt his throat tightening, it seems that it's not just because of the elasticity of this rope, but also due to the electric current. Moreover, judging from the force with which this rope contracted on his neck earlier, this magical rope is quite sturdy and can bear a lot of weight.
Soon, Guagua mastered both spells thoroughly and grasped them firmly in his own hands.
After unlocking the magic key, Gua's mind became much more stable. Originally, he also had a grasp of unlocking this magic key, but it was not solid, and there was still great risk. What if when unlocking, it suddenly tightened and strangled him to death? What if there were alarm spells inside, which would notify Xilan when unlocked?
Now that the magical key had been unlocked, Gua felt a sense of relief wash over him.
It seems that to Xi Lang, Guagua is just a slightly smarter dog head person, and hasn't reached the point of being truly worthy of attention. This underestimation of Guagua makes him feel both relieved and somewhat disappointed.
It's no use worrying about that now. The Frost Giant will appear in front of Pilesburg in just one day, and Gulu has no way to consider these things anymore, the most important thing is to save his own life first.
Before that, Kua had been working hard to develop the strength of Pilesburg, also hoping that when encountering similar external enemies, it would not be easily broken.
In the desolate northern lands, no matter how powerful a dog-headed person may be, they cannot surpass the Frost Giants. Without the support of their pack, they would quickly freeze to death in the wilderness. A dog-headed person must have a strong pack to provide them with shelter in order to survive. The dog-headed people themselves are not native to the northern lands; their history is intricately tied to the great wizard Octo.
So Gua had once thought of leaving Paillesburg alone, becoming a wandering mage, and making a living by taking on some adventurer tasks. However, he himself knew that this was impossible. As an outlander without a tribe or power, there would be no human rights, and life would not have any guarantee, only in his own tribe could he survive.
