Chapter 208: The Aborigines of the Land of Runes

Joelson couldn’t wait to drive Du Lu to explore further.

“Let’s Go!”

The steel dragon still acted alone, but it wasn’t too far away, so it was kept within the range that could be met at any time.

Joelson didn’t relax either.

He had personally seen the steel dragon and du Lu escape from the ruins with wounds all over their bodies.

There must be an unimaginable danger hidden under the treasure.

In the following time, Joelson and Du Lu obtained three fire runes, two water runes, and one plant rune.

The steel dragon also obtained several fire and earth runes for Joelson.

Joelson’s various elemental laws had grown, and the power of the fire elemental laws had increased by more than a dozen.

If this rate of improvement were to spread out, many experts who had stayed at the saint-level for half their lives might be so ashamed that they would commit suicide.

Joelson had also gradually figured out the pattern.

The runes in the ruins were of different quality.

The most common ones were made of stone and wood. Wood was even worse, and each time he devoured it, he could only add one or even half a law to it.

And the highest stone rune that he had ever encountered contained three laws.

He did not know how much law power was contained in the magic stone that Harriet Terrence had obtained.

But he knew that any wooden rune here could make most saint-level powerhouses go crazy over it.

It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a land of treasures.

At the same time, as the quality of the rune increased, the counter-attack power it received when it obtained the rune became stronger.

It was a kind of restriction power similar to the self-protection of runes.

The restriction power of the stone rune was very easy for Joelson. He was very curious about the quality of the broken rune that Du Lu had obtained when he had just advanced to the saint-level and entered the ruins.

It had actually injured it to the point of dying. After that, the increase in its combat power was also very significant.

“Roar!”

An urgent roar came from the steel dragon’s side.

It carried excitement and a faint excitement.

Joelson hurriedly rode Du Lu over.

The steel dragon was circling around a dark golden rune somewhat anxiously.

It could be seen that this rune was very important to it.

Joelson raised his head and looked over. It was similar to other runes, but the surface of the rune had a metallic luster.

It was a rune of a higher level than stone runes.

Seeing Joelson and du Lu rushing over, the steel dragon could not hold back anymore and rushed forward.

Joelson hurriedly cast a few sharp and sturdy spells on it.

The steel dragon’s intrusion caused the dark golden runes to vibrate, just like a rash predator that suddenly barged into a quiet school of fish.

The metal magic elements in the void were boiling. Sharp metal spikes condensed and shot toward the steel dragon.

The steel dragon did not care at all.

The sharp metal spikes hit its body and made a metallic sound. There was not even a trace left behind.

Its defense was too strong.

However, as the steel dragon got closer to the main body of the rune, there were more metal spikes in the void, and the frequency of its attacks was also higher.

Looking from Joelson’s angle, the steel dragon seemed to be wrapped by countless longswords into a huge ball.

The steel dragon gradually felt pain.

“Roar!”

It was enraged. Its dark golden body suddenly expanded and turned into a dazzling golden light.

A dazzling robe!

Joelson’s eyes lit up. The steel dragon added a layer of “metal armor” to itself.

The dragon’s tail fiercely slapped the air, creating a crisp sound. The steel dragon flew forward and swallowed the dark golden runes in one gulp.

The metal spikes in the sky suddenly stopped and disintegrated, turning back into metal magic elements and dissipating in the void.

Joelson saw another profound rune mark appear on the steel dragon’s abdomen. It became harder, heavier, and full of pressure.

The steel dragon’s combat strength instantly increased by nearly a thousand points.

Du Lu, however, had a very disdainful look.

Joelson smiled and patted its head. “You have very high standards. What kind of runes are you interested in?”

Du Lu raised its head and growled in a certain direction.

“Over there?”

Joelson’s eyes lit up. He called out to the steel dragon, “Let’s go over and take a look.”

With Joelson’s permission, Du Lu spread its wings and turned into a fiery red shadow as it flew forward quickly.

On the way, Joelson tasted a lot of runes of other attributes.

It felt very good to have a steady increase in strength.

The power of the water and fire elemental laws had increased by about twenty, and the color of the flames gradually changed from sky blue to more profound.

Joelson even felt that with the power of the current fusion of the water and fire elemental laws, he might be able to burn Chester alive.

The land of runes seemed to have no difference between day and night.

Du Lu continuously adjusted his direction. After flying for an unknown period of time, a bright golden-red light rose from the bottom of Joelson’s eyes.

Joelson widened his eyes.

He saw a star slowly falling.

In the center of the star, there was a twisting runic shadow, which seemed to be the same as the runes on Du Lu’s scales.

Du Lu also roared in anticipation.

Although it was far away from the runes, a scorching heatwave had already blown over. Accompanied by the powerful pressure of the falling star, it was extremely shocking.

A trace of solemnity appeared in front of Joelson’s eyes. Suddenly, he saw.

There seemed to be someone at the place where the runic star fell?

“Don’t go yet.” Joelson patted Du Lu’s head and spoke.

Du Lu and the steel dragon obediently lowered their bodies and stopped between the barren rocks in the land of runes.

Joelson looked up.

Five or six men and women were emitting different colors of light.

Their powers were very strange, different from magic or combat aura.

They were all emitted from their foreheads. A rune-like mark formed a light barrier that wrapped them within, preventing them from being hurt by the scorching aura.

This group of people seemed to be extremely agitated. They looked up at the falling runes in the sky and shouted loudly in a language that Joelson could not understand.

In Joelson’s eyes, these people’s actions were simply courting death.

As the runes fell, the power that spread out became stronger and stronger. Even the ground had some scorched marks.

Without a saint-level, it was impossible for them to stay in this place.

And those people were still in the center of the falling runes. The temperature was the highest.

Except for one person whose aura had barely reached the saint-level, none of the others would survive.

Sure enough, not long after, a person’s light barrier suddenly broke. He screamed and turned into a ball of burning flames, instantly turning into ashes.

Then, a small flickering rune rose from the pile of ashes. As soon as it appeared, it was pulled by some unknown force. It quickly jumped toward the falling runes in the sky and disappeared into them.

The rune swords devoured each other.

Joelson blinked his eyes.

The death of his companion woke the others up from their ecstasy and they hurriedly retreated.

At this time, the speed of the falling rune was getting faster and faster. The hot aura was getting thicker and thicker, and the surrounding area was almost turned into a sea of fire.

Another person died while retreating. The fate was the same as the previous person.
