Chapter 200: The Embarrassed Lost
After thousands of years of sinking, the powerful and martial Goblin Second Empire overthrew the Bright Dynasty and then became the overlord of the Great 6, which is not true, however, hegemony and complete control are not the same thing.
Although the goblins are very powerful in fighting and are not afraid of death, they can't stand the main 6 This land is too vast and vast, and they are simply unable to extend the ruling machine to every corner of the entire main 6, and many places are still the situation where various races are behind closed doors as soil emperors. For example, those orc tribes colluded with pirates, and this matter made the goblins angry, even so, the orc tribes whose rebellious deeds were exposed were not exterminated by the goblin army, not that they didn't want to do it, but they were really inadequate, and they could only target the main strategic direction, and the rest of the places turned a blind eye.
Sending an army of goblins to cross the Gobi Sand Sea for thousands of miles on an expedition, such a costly gamble to conquer a wild swamp that is similar to a stinky puddle in the eyes of the goblins, the probability of this kind in the real world is roughly the same as that of the goblin emperor and the great shaman, and the result is that they will die in a storm immediately.
"Well, it's architecture?"
Walking through the dense aquatic plants that are more than one person tall looking for gaps, Luo Zhengdao suddenly looked up, and his eyes glimpsed the silhouette of tall stone buildings in the distance through the open water nearby.
The ancient temple dedicated to Zehir, the god of toxins and scales, is so old that the exterior of the majestic Mayan pyramids has been so weathered and eroded that you can still feel a strong sense of religious sacredness when approached by it.
As one of the many intelligent races in the New World, the Snake People were the losers who fought with humans for the control of the Great 6 after the fall of the First Goblin Dynasty. They were defeated miserably in that battle for supremacy, and had to retreat to this base area under the protection of the desert and difficult to reach by foreign enemies, but the snake people still maintained a strong enterprising spirit for a long time, secretly planning to make a comeback. It's a pity that it is common sense that disasters do not act alone, and the cursers who were originally the ruling class and leadership core of the snake people kingdom suddenly lost their minds inexplicably at this time, and became monsters that devoured a living creature driven by instinct overnight, and the snake people race really lost the last hope of rising again.
When approaching this ancient temple, Luo Zhengdao happened to encounter a group of snake patrols, and although he was a little resistant to reptiles, he bowed as politely as he could when he asked for help, and said:
"I'm a lost traveler, I have no ill intentions, I just want to ask for directions."
I don't know if these snake soldiers really don't understand the lingua franca, or if they pretend not to understand, facing Luo Zhengdao, who made a friendly gesture as much as possible, the snake soldiers' answer was very simple, that is, the poisoned arrows that rained down.
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
When Luo Zhengdao sensed that the other party was about to make a move, he dodged behind a boulder and brushed his ears.
From the day the snake egg was hatched, the snake people have been told how evil and shameless humans are. The snake soldier had no intention of befriending the old enemy at all, but was happy to kill him, and the very act of killing humans was a pleasure for the snake people anyway.
I don't know the historical grievances of the two races, Luo Zhengdao, who was attacked, was really angry, this was slapped in the face by someone, he let out an angry roar, and said:
"Bastard! Activate - Immortal Shield! ”
On the career path of the magic card master, Luo Zhengdao is still in the stage of groping for the road, limited to the magic card is not easy to start, he can only catch what he can do, there is no choice, which causes the reality of the lack of defensive cards.
Fortunately, Hell Avernath stayed for a year in vain, relying on merit points from the devil logistics officer, as well as the comrades-in-arms who often change new faces every other day, to exchange a batch of magic cards, these fresh blood effectively alleviate the stubborn problem of insufficient magic cards that have been shackling Luo Zhengdao. This "Immortal Shield" was also traded by him from others, as a relatively single-function magic card, the function of this magic card is to summon a three-sided activated shield around the user, automatically intercepting a qiē external attack. Although these shields can be damaged when hit hard, recovering the cards afterwards requires waiting for the cooldown to be completed before repairing themselves, which can be regarded as a tactical option for Luo Zhengdao.
With the help of the cover of the activated shield, Luo Zhengdao, who ran out from behind the big stone where he was hiding, survived under the thousands of poisonous arrows shot by the snake man soldiers, he did not rush up to fight to the death with the snake man, but took advantage of the opportunity of the other party's attack to miss, dodged into the construction area in the shadows, and he still did not forget to complain and said:
"These unreasonable guys, no wonder no matter which dynasty ascends the throne, they will sweep away the snake tribe, a group of crazy people."
Luo Zhengdao, who was fighting and leaving, got into big trouble, and the snake soldiers who came to reinforce him continued to join, and the dense rain of arrows forced him all the way into the outbuilding area below the pyramid temple. In this closed environment with both poor shooting and vision, the power of the bow and arrow that the snake people are proud of is greatly reduced, and Luo Zhengdao, who has fled from the wolf, finally finds a chance to breathe.
"Sizzle, humans can't be allowed to desecrate the temple."
"Sizzle, with a scroll."
Outside of Luo Zhengdao's vision, who was hiding from the snake people, several richly dressed snake people nobles tore a scroll, which was one of the more powerful of their conventional methods for dealing with swamp invaders, and 99.99% of outsiders would declare a blow to the street after this move.
"Gah-"
This terrible and desolate howl seems to be a call from hell or the abyss, it has a pair of strange skin wings between a pterosaur and a bat, the pale complexion is no different from that of a dead man, the blood-red eyes and the horns on the head are matched, this shape is resting in the old world, it will definitely be directly sentenced to death by the Appearance Association, and if it is not good, it will be dragged to a public execution and burned to vent its anger. As described earlier, this oath demon that looks like both an undead creature and a demon is actually incompatible with any of the lower creatures, they are the product of death in the physical world, and it is not surprising that these creatures who seek the breath of death appear on the battlefield.
The Shadow Realm creature of the Oath Demon is a follower of the Raven Queen, and it is common to see them in bloody battles, and now this creature suddenly appears in the temple where the Serpent Man is enshrined, and the symbolism is truly extraordinary.
At the first sight of the Oath Demon, Luo Zhengdao immediately realized that it was not a natural phenomenon, but a move used by the enemy to deal with him. The Oath Demon Death Lord with the ability to teleport and fly is much more terrifying than those snake people with sharp eyes and curses at the level of miscellaneous soldiers outside, and if you don't knock it out, Luo Zhengdao will choose to turn strategy later, but I'm afraid that I won't even be able to escape!
"Flutter! fluttering ......"
The sound of birds flapping their wings came, Luo Zhengdao's pupils contracted, and he scolded in a low voice:
"Summon a flock of shadow crows? It's this trick again, I have the ability to fight Lao Tzu by myself! ”
The hands and feet of the Wailing Demon came faster and more violently than Luo Zhengdao expected, seeing this scene, he barked like a defeated dog, turned his head and ran away without saying a word, fighting for his life is the next step, how can the porcelain touch the crockpot? Since the future of the breakthrough is not bright, it is better to change the path and turn around and follow the inner passage of the temple!
From the time of the defeat of the Serpent Kingdom to retreat to this swampy wetland, the temple dedicated to Zehir has continued to expand and build, stretching for miles from the stone pyramid temple in the center, and the large and small buildings as far as the eye can see are all accessories to this temple. These interconnected paths, interconnected by intricate corridors and passages, would probably be more exaggerated than a circuit board if drawn as a map. While Luo Zhengdao fled, he did not forget to clean up the traces of escape left behind him to prevent the pursuers from following quickly.
The accumulation of life experience benefits from the thickness rather than the length, just like an ant college student who worked hard in the magic capital and imperial capital of the old world, his life experience is richer than that of an old man who has stayed in the ravine all his life, which is the proof.
Thanks to the few months spent in the bloody battle as a mercenary, this experience brought Luo Zhengdao's experience and memories several times richer than his previous life. For example, this kind of escape technique is difficult to learn without experiencing it yourself, and it is much easier for you to go from being ignorant to being good if you throw people on the battlefield and under the pressure of survival that you will not die immediately.
Luo Zhengdao quickly proved that he did not waste his time with practical actions, and the brutal bloody battle taught him a lot of new skills, when Luo Zhengdao used all his resources to escape, those snake people who were not professional enough to foresee trouble, and their noisy shouts were quickly left behind.
Unconsciously, passing through a large area of temple complexes, what appeared in front of Luo Zhengdao's eyes was a wild swamp shrouded in white mist. He could tell that this place was more dangerous than the others, and he could smell the peculiar smell of decomposing corpses with his nose, and this place was by no means a good way.
Indeed, this wetland is called the "Swamp of Despair" by the indigenous snake people, a high-risk area that even they dare not venture into on their own, and there are not only many poisonous insects and beasts lurking in the swamp, but also natural traps such as quicksand and mud pools. In addition to feeding the most heinous criminals to the cursers at the bottom of the pyramid, the second-class punishment of banishment is to drive the criminals into this swamp of despair, and they see whether they can get out of this dangerous muddy land alive as a way of Zehir's divine judgment, and the danger contained in it can also be seen.
Advancing is a swamp, retreating is a chasing soldier, in the dilemma, Luo Zhengdao, who made a difficult choice, still chose to move forward, fighting to the death is the last option, isn't it time to run out of mountains and rivers!
The "Swamp of Despair" is a Jedi that even snake people who are good at moving in the wetlands and rivers are regarded as a daunting way, and Luo Zhengdao, who is unfamiliar with the situation, can only trude through the mud and grass where he can't see the road at all, and the difficulty of traveling in the complex terrain quickly makes him understand the greatness. Within a few minutes, Luo Zhengdao began to breathe, he had to admit that he had underestimated the practical difficulties he might encounter, and had to transform into a werewolf form, with the help of the furry wide soles of his feet to reduce the number of times he fell into the mud, and even then he would inevitably have unexpected situations such as slipping under the soles of his feet.
