Chapter 16: The Blood Lion

"The Fortress of the Eternal Night was built four hundred years ago, His Excellency the Grand Knight of the Red Dragon, Marshal of the Kingdom of Hobert, Wales? During the reign of the Duke of Ente, and by the order of the Marshal of Wales himself, it was built to defend against the demonic beasts of the Dark Mountains and to defend against the invasion of the neighboring Kingdom of Zarat. ”

"It is worth mentioning that not far from the Fortress of the Eternal Night is the almost rich Sasian Basin of the Kingdom of Salat, which is also the hinterland of the Kingdom. The establishment of this fortress caused general uneasiness among the nobles of the Salat Kingdom, and the royal nobles of the Salat family frequently exerted pressure through politics, war, and other aspects, forcing the Hobart Kingdom to abandon this fortress······"

The cold wind whistled with the faint snowflakes, mostly gray, and even if the footprints were stepped on, they were quickly blown flat and blown without a trace.

Wu Qi walked one step deeper and one shallow step in such snow.

While he was looking through the records about the Eternal Night Fortress that Lin Hao had sent people to sort out, he rubbed his hands together and secretly regretted his decision to rush over.

There are many updates to the system, including an update to the mount system, which only costs a certain amount of gold and then completes a small quest to get the right to buy a mount. The task is not difficult, as long as it costs money. The mounts obtained from the quest can only be used for riding and running maps, and cannot be used in combat. But in the snowy conditions outside the town of Uncher, it's much faster to have a mount than to walk.

You should finish the mount quest before coming here······ I must do the mount task when I go back this time, and it won't take long anyway······ Well, it's a good idea to equip all members of the guild who are going to participate in the Eternal Night Fortress strategy with mounts, so that they are much faster and easier to get ahead······

After more than an hour, Wu Qi finally arrived at the destination of his trip, the Eternal Night Fortress. The Fortress of the Eternal Night is located on a mountain range.

When the royal nobles of the Hobart family were pressured to withdraw the kingdom's troops from the fortress of the eternal night, the fortress was not destroyed, and for hundreds of years, it seemed to be forgotten here, no one paid attention to it, no one remembered it, and left it to fend for itself.

Therefore, when Wu Qi approached this fortress, he saw the giant beast lying silently on the mountains, saw the traces left by the years on its body, saw weeds growing in the cracks of the stone walls of the city wall, and saw that the font "Fortress of Eternal Night" written in the Iliad script on the city gate was already indistinct.

After hundreds of years of desolation, the Eternal Night Fortress is now a world of demonic beasts and dark creatures that roam the area and occupy all corners of the Eternal Night Fortress.

As soon as Wu Qi folded into the city gate, he saw a group of people with blood-red manes and reminders of the huge essence wandering around not far away.

Wu Qi had the heart to probe the attributes of this group of blood lions. This is also the purpose of his trip, after all, the fire mage is different from the thief class, and can rely on stealth and various escape skills to enter and exit the danger zone.

Today, we will test the attributes of the various wild monsters on the periphery of the fortress, and as for the specific distribution of the wild monsters in the fortress, let him be in charge after the white mullet is transferred······

Wu Qi thought as he slowly approached the blood lions. Of course, he couldn't face a double-digit Blood Lions alone. For the sake of safety, Wu Qi observed from a distance for a while, and finally found a chance for a blood lion to attract birds and finches, and deviated slightly from the team.

Golden opportunity!

Wu Qi stared at him and seized this brief opportunity.

The melodious spell is clear, and the flame elements in the void converge. Wu Qi raised the Dragon Flame Staff, and at the top of the slightly curved staff, a blue flame slowly appeared.

It's exactly the same as in reality, but it's a little more delicate and a little more intense······ Wu Qi couldn't help but be in a trance.

For a moment, he quickly shook his head, no longer emotional, and concentrated on the demonic beast in front of him. The small fireball detached from the staff and streaked through the gray sky in a pale blue trail and landed on the Blood Lion.

At the same time, Wu Qi took the time to glance at the Blood Lion attribute that he had just detected with his skills.

Blood Lion: A level 15 normal-level demonic creature

HP: 30000/30000

······

Sure enough, after the system was updated, the blood volume of the third-order demonic beasts has increased a lot, and if I remember correctly, the blood volume of the level 18 ordinary elite monsters in the Forest of the Dead before advancing was also 30,000······

-843!

The high damage rose from the body of the blood lion, and the blood lion was hurt, it looked around slightly, and quickly locked on to Wu Qi not far away.

With a low roar, the blood lion raised its four hooves and galloped over, its blood-red mane fluttering in the wind, and a scarlet aura spread in the void.

Wu Qi didn't dare to face the damage of the blood lion under the surprise attack bonus, he predicted the distance, raised his staff, and a blue flame condensed earth thorn suddenly appeared from the blood lion's abdomen.

-1046! The Blood Lion's abdomen was pierced, blood gushed from the wound, soaking the bleak snow, and the scarlet color quickly spread, shocking.

The intense pain made the blood lion have to slow down, Wu Qi adjusted his position, raised his staff, chanted a spell in his mouth, and a series of skills poured out.

Burning Hands! Touch of the Flame! Fire Emblem! Small fireballs! Burning Hands! Fire Emblem! Fire Emblem!

-1046! -768! -1368! -1023! -1187! -2704 (Spell Critical Strike!) )-1370!

Like a storm, one skill after another poured on the blood lion's body, quickly exploding, and the blood lion's health could not stop dropping one by one!

The damage is not bad, it seems that the resistance of the Blood Lion is not too high······ Of course, this could also be because the resistances have been nerfed too much······ Wu Qi silently judged the resistance of the blood lion in his heart, and many of his own skills had the effect of ignoring the level, ignoring the defense, and deepening the damage, because the calculation method was too complicated, Wu Qi would be difficult to fully grasp for a while, and he could only figure it out slowly after accumulating time.

The next step is to try the Blood Lion's attack power······ After withstanding the stormy tilt of Wu Qi's skill, the blood lion finally rushed in front of Wu Qi, it let out a low roar, the fishy breath came to its nostrils, and its pale claws with scarlet spots were raised, making a pounce posture.

Wu Qi had the intention to test the attack power of the blood lion, he did not dodge or dodge, a dark red shield slowly rose, surrounded Wu Qi, and blocked the attack of the blood lion, which was the skill "Dark Fire Guardian" attached to the equipment.

-321! The dark red shield shook, and a faint crack appeared, and only a small part of durability was lost.

Medium to high attack power, medium resistance, need to guard against the damage of the Blood Lion Raid, and the rest have to be tried again······ Wu Qi silently commented on the blood lion in his heart.

The test has been decided, and Wu Qi is no longer nostalgic, he is wearing the dark red shield of "Dark Fire Guardian", carrying the continuous attacks of the blood lion, chanting one incantation after another, and standing with the blood lion.
