The Swamp Giant Crocodile King is dead. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Died at the hands of two inconspicuous little men!
Grim commanded the Earth Golem to quickly take down the Crocodile King, harvesting some important biological materials and a pigeon-egg-sized Earth Crystal Nucleus, and then ran away before the many swamp crocodiles surrounded him.
And when Grim's figure disappeared at the end of the path, behind a ghost tree less than half a mile away from the battlefield just now, Mary in red was looking at the swamp crocodile in the distance with a sad look in her eyes. Underneath her, the broken bodies of 14 scavenging ravens were discarded crookedly.
She had a full view of the whole process of Grim's battle just now, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
The Swamp Giant Crocodile King?
It's a terrible monster that even she won't provoke!
Although the Swamp Giant Crocodile King only has a high-level apprentice rank, and she is also a high-level apprentice, her real combat power is not counted like this. With her super agility, the Swamp Giant Crocodile King didn't even want to touch the corners of her clothes even if he had wings. But the Swamp Crocodile King's heavy, desperate scale armor was not something her "weak" attack could break through.
If you really want to talk about it, the Swamp Giant Crocodile King can't catch up with her, and she can't beat the Swamp Giant Crocodile King.
So Mary in Red clearly knows the limits of her abilities. In the absence of good defenses, she may be able to abuse many of her apprentices. But as the strength of the apprentice continues to improve, her advantage will become smaller and smaller.
And now, an inconspicuous junior apprentice "little brother" has even hidden such a means, and can use that weird clay puppet to grind this swamp giant crocodile king to death.
This...... This really left her at a loss!
Looking at the broken crow corpse beneath her, her eyes were a little confused.
When did he turn him into the main force of battle, and he became a slave who cleaned up the peripheral eyeliner? For no reason, a wave of anger rose in Mary's heart, and a line of blood was dyed in the middle of her green pupils.
He is the boss, and he is only a junior brother, and this relationship between priority and subordination must not be changed! It seems that it is time to find time to teach this self-appointed "subordinate" a lesson. Although he used to be nice to himself, that didn't justify him riding on his head. Well, I'll teach him a lesson when I go back!
Suppressing the manic and sullen cry in her heart, Mary swooped forward and turned into a petite vampire bat, flapping her wings and disappearing on the spot.
When Mary in Red knocked on the door angrily, she was greeted by Grim's big smile.
Pulling Mary into the room, Grim presented him with a gift.
"Mary, what do you think this is? Don't you like the blood of the strong? Do you think this is useful?"
The pungent viscous blood was presented to Mary in a clay pot, and his face shone with anticipation and a look of hope.
"This ...... What is this?" said Mary.
Somehow, she came to the door with a momentum just now, and her full of anger disappeared in an instant, and even talking with herself was a little stuck.
"Don't ask. You try it first and see if you like it! I've done a lot of it this time. If you like it, I'll go to the lab to purify them and get rid of the fishy smell, so it will definitely taste better!"
Mary in Red tightened her pretty face and criticized unreasonably.
"How can anyone give a gift like you? There is not even a decent decoration, just a rough clay pot to hold it. And how do you get this blood? Don't you know that the sweetest thing in a living creature is the blood of the heart? For your sake, I'll forgive you for being rude this time. Next time, remember to pack them up and give them to me!"
"Clear, understood...... Get to know know know ...... This one...... You see so many things, I am afraid it will take a lot of time to complete them in one go, and my knowledge may be a little insufficient......"
Mary in Red's turquoise eyes narrowed into a line, and a dangerous light flashed inside.
"What? Are you borrowing from me?"
"Where, where...... I'll just borrow it for the time being, and I'll pay you back when I sell it. Grim couldn't help but sneer. The earth-based crystal nucleus harvested this time was obviously better than the previous one, and the space that could spread the witch array was also larger. How to make more rational use of it has also become a big problem.
The time to set off was getting closer, and there was less and less time left for him, and there were several urgent things waiting for him to complete.
The earth crystal nucleus that has just been harvested is undoubtedly one.
For this crystal nucleus, Grim already has an alternative idea. Since they are both earth-based crystal nuclei, why can't the summoned earth demon golems connect their energies?
For Grim's new idea, the chip has completed the preliminary calculation, and only needs to collect a part of the sorcery knowledge of energy connection and soul synergy to formally build it.
And the second one that was waiting for Grim to do was proper defensive sorcery.
The two fire-based sorcery he currently mastered, one is a melee attack that also has a little self-defense, and the other is a pure ranged attack, which makes him always have a huge hole in personal protection. If he didn't think about improving this, he would always be a scum that could be easily snuffed out in front of those senior apprentices.
With the division of the insect body, the evil insect Ntik is simply a small strong that cannot be killed, and he is not afraid of the enemy's attack at all. The mad girl has a very high physique, and her own attack power is also invincible, so she never needs to worry about her safety. Hawkeye Crusa's abilities are unknown. Mary in Red is extremely agile and has the terrifying means of blood-sucking rebirth, so she is also a small powerhouse.
These high-level apprentices who Grim was able to collect information already possessed their own complete and systematic path of sorcery. Whether it is offense or defense, they all have their own unique means of coping, so the combat power shown is also very different. But no matter who he faced, Grim was not sure that he would survive from them.
That's where Grim's current flaw lies.
Due to the lack of knowledge and resources, Grim is at the bottom of the ranks even among the junior apprentices, and has not really chosen his own path so far, so there is no witchcraft system built around his own wizarding path.
Previously, he had ambitions to become a rule wizard, and he also had some arcane wizard methods. But before he could make an effort to do so, this damn coercive mission interrupted his normal path.
If he had planned before, he should now devote most of his resources to the basic knowledge and theory of fire-based witchcraft, and strive to improve his mental power, so that he could keep up with the large army as soon as possible and become an intermediate apprentice. According to his estimates, this process will take at least three months to bear fruit.
But now there is a red nightmarish compulsory task on my head, and when the time comes, if I don't have the means to deal with it, I'm afraid that I won't even have a chance to regret it, and I'll die in that terrible dark crypt. For this reason, Grim had to adjust the resource allocation plan and put all his chips on summoning golems.
And the direct consequence of this is that Grim is about to go bankrupt!
He didn't have enough knowledge to go to the alchemy lab, he didn't have enough knowledge to collect defensive sorcery, and he didn't have enough gold to buy some suitable props......
Others can be put away, but there are not enough knowledge points to support the refining of the new crystal nucleus, and this is what really kills Grim. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up his face to fight the autumn wind on Mary.
Mary's dazzling pupils stared at Grim for a long time, and finally nodded silently.
After receiving an "investment" from Mary, Grim immediately rushed to the alchemy laboratory, and chose 7 hours of time in a super luxurious way.
This time, the earth crystal core left by the swamp giant crocodile king is the size of a pigeon's egg, and according to the design of the chip, in addition to a few basic control witch arrays, more space can be reserved for the energy nodes. As a result, the last Crystal Nucleus that summoned the golem only had 4 energy nodes, and this one will have as many as 9.
More energy nodes also means more complex witch array designs, as well as a lot of architectural changes, so from the moment the crystal nucleus arrives, the chip has been busy with this aspect of computing and testing.
And when Grimm had processed all the sorcery materials in advance, the chip was considered to have done the job.
"Drop, the design of the latest golem summoning crystal nucleus structure has been completed, is there any data transmission?"
"Transfer!"
With a stream of data coming in, Grim closed his eyes and finally saw this customized three-dimensional witch array.
Counting them down, there were as many as 15 large and small witch circles that needed to be etched into the surface of the summoning crystal nucleus the size of a pigeon's egg, and they also needed to be hooked together to form a more elaborate and huge perfect witch circle. This kind of work can only be done so quickly by chips, and Grim can't even parse most of the rune structures inside.
After a few attempts, Grim had no choice but to give up on this self-tortured and useless contest in favor of the issues that needed to be paid attention to when etching for a while.
The chip is like a super capable auxiliary tool, with its assistance, Grim can completely avoid the lack of knowledge and skills, and directly decompose the overall work into countless simple and direct local operations. With trivial local operations, Grim, the first alchemy brother, was able to complete those complex rune structures that only alchemy masters could control in one go.
Therefore, at this time, Grim was not more worried about whether he could do the job, but whether his mental strength could support such a large and cumbersome task.
But he didn't seem to have much to retreat from.
Assemble the golem troops you need as soon as possible, complete the optimization of the means of attack, and then squeeze out time to master a defensive sorcery to make yourself both offensive and defensive. This is the key to surviving this mission!
Grim took a deep breath and stood in front of the alchemy table again, dismissing all distractions and devoting himself to the concoction of the new summoning crystal nucleus.
