Chapter 5: The Frozen Heights
The barbarian warrior Bourkeso volunteered to join Dabao's attempt to save the captives. With the end of the siege of the city www.biquge.info other professions have resumed their normal cultivation life, although many of them will also go to the frozen heights to kill monsters, but few of them care about the life and death of the captives, and they may help when they meet, but they will never spend their efforts on this. Only a man like Bourkeso would be willing to contribute to his own kind.
During this time, Kane learned of Dabao's mission, and he immediately provided some teleportation scrolls that could also be used by mercenaries, so that Dabao could help them escape after rescuing the captives. Marat, who had previously treated the wounded in the Frozen Heights and brought them back to Harlogas, provided several locations where the demons had previously imprisoned humans to keep Dabao from running around like headless flies.
Through a narrow path clinging to the cliff face, Dabao and the two finally stepped into the frozen highlands. When Harorgas was first built, Baal was very weak, so the human protists took the opportunity to occupy the entire bloody hills and frozen highlands, blocking the hell monsters in a passage in the Arrett Plateau, and building a number of fortifications, such as towers and high walls, to deal with the spawned hell monsters. However, as time passed, Baal's power continued to recover, and countless monsters poured out of the passages, occupying all the areas controlled by humans, leaving only the city of Harogas where civilians could survive in hell.
Just as Dabao rushed to the frozen highlands, in a dark corner of Harlogas, the necromancer who had been slapped in the face by Dabao was being reprimanded by a man who exuded a cold aura all over his body.
"Rubbish! Having been robbed of the title of hero by a newcomer who had just arrived in Harlogas, I have been cultivating you for so many years. β
"Teacher, you don't know how powerful this big boss is. I've just inquired that his career is a history of blood and tears for the demons of hell, and even Mephisto and Diablo let him kill him. β
"I spent countless costs to train you, just to complete that great plan, but I didn't expect you to be so uncompetitive and never get the title of hero. Now it's a good thing, with another strong opponent, even if you get the title of hero, it will be difficult for you to complete my mission. β
When the necromancer heard the teacher's words, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Don't look at him, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is very arrogant, but he is afraid that his teacher will think that he is useless. People who are useless will end up more tragically, and they are not even qualified to be fertilizer.
He hurriedly shouted, "Teacher! This time, it's just because that Bourkeso has a piece of equipment in his hand, called Nature's Peace, that my corpse explosion skill doesn't work, otherwise this big boss would have died in my hands. I heard that they had gone to the frozen heights to rescue the captured mercenaries, so I went to kill them. β
The necromancer's teacher was none other than Niracek, and he muttered for a moment and said, "According to you, the sneak attack is still somewhat certain. Remember not to be seen, it's okay for professionals to kill each other and be known. β
The necromancer received Nirasek's permission and hurriedly left the place as if he had been pardoned.
Nilasek looked at the back of his disciple in the distance, and said lightly: "I hope you can succeed, otherwise I will have to train a new disciple." β
Dabao and Bourkeso don't know all this, and they are trying to find the imprisoned mercenaries. They formed a makeshift team, with Dabao enjoying another bonus from a professional barbarian battle, and Bourkesor getting a glimpse of the abilities of a full-level oak sage.
As soon as they entered the frozen plateau, the two were besieged by siege beasts. Originally, these huge beasts were the main force in the siege, but due to the use of catapults this time, they were left idle. These beasts usually roam the frozen highlands, they are simple-minded, they have no idea of the war around them, and they have no control at all. Baal's blacksmiths made some riding equipment that the demon elves could barely control by riding on the siege beasts.
The siege of Dabao is a group of siege beasts controlled by demonic goblins. These siege beasts raised their thick and strong legs and stomped on the ground fiercely, and a wave of qi visible to the naked eye rose from the beneath the beneath the siege beasts, and then the ground also shook like a wave, spreading out with the air waves.
"War trampling!" Bourkeso felt dizzy and knew he had been hit. As soon as he woke up, he immediately reminded Dabao loudly. Although the War Trample damage of this siege beast is very low, don't forget that there is also a demon fairy on this monster, and this small monster can use the equipment on the siege beast to spew a hellfire, which is the great killer weapon of this pair.
Dabao is pregnant with a dwarf star, and all fire-based attacks are Dabao's great tonics, and when he was burned by a mouthful of hellfire, the slight damage he received just now was immediately recovered.
Dabao unleashed his most powerful attack, knocking a siege beast to the ground with a few claws. The demon goblin on the siege beast fell down all at once, and then the monster teleported, ran to the tower next to it, and attacked with fire.
Dabao didn't pay attention to the fire attack at all, just attacked the siege beast with all his strength, and killed all those seemingly powerful monsters in a while. And Bourkeso, under the stimulation of Dabao, was not to be outdone and used a jump attack, the attack range of this jump attack is quite large, and it is also a long-range attack, which has a miraculous effect on monsters that can use teleportation. The demonic goblins who used teleportation were restrained and slaughtered by Bourkeso's sword.
Dabao didn't expect this Bourkeso to have a hand, whether it is to dissolve the explosion of the corpse of the necromancer, or to attack the monster that can teleport, the selection of skills and equipment is very good. The main thing is that Bourkeso is professional, and his level of roaring is much stronger than that of his own equipment, and if he is pulled into the team, he can just fill the vacancy in the team.
After getting acquainted with the situation in the frozen highlands and realizing that they were all monsters dealt with in the bloody hills, Dabao relaxed. The two of them chatted as they searched for the captured mercenary.
"Dude, I just came to Hallogas, and I'm not familiar with the situation yet, what is the situation now?" That's what Dabao cares about the most.
Bourkeso jumped high, jumped over an obstacle, and shook back a few monsters in front of him before replying, "When Baal's strength is restored, he wants to break through Mount Arret." However, the top of Arret is guarded by the ancient spirits of three barbarian warriors, and their fighting power is extremely strong, and Baal will have to pay a lot of price if he wants to defeat them. But if he is injured, how can he fight against the heroes of mankind? So this Baal went crazy to create monsters and capture barbarians. β
Dabao asked strangely, "What's the use of catching barbarians?" Is it possible to ask for a blood sacrifice? β
Bourkeso shook his head and replied, "I don't know what the blood sacrifice is. I have only heard that as long as you have the ancient relics of the barbarian clan, and use the most sacred totem to worship the ancient heroic spirits, you can avoid their tests and go directly to the World Stone. Originally, this ancient ruin was guarded by the elders of various tribes. However, when Hell counterattacked to Hallogas, all the Tribal Elders worked together to build a protective position to prevent the Hellish Demons from approaching. But it also paid a terrible price, the elders of the barbarian clan were all dead, and only the elder named Nilasek was still alive, so this ancient ruin was now guarded by him alone. Now you know why no one wants to offend the necromancer, so you'll have to be careful in the future. β
"Niracek is a standard traitor, I will have to kill him sooner or later, am I afraid of offending him" Dabao could only think in his heart, and never dared to say it, because Niracek was a noble elder now, and no one would believe this at all. But he still asked curiously, "Isn't Niracek a necromancer?" How could it be an elder of a barbarian tribe? β
"Barbarians are a race, and necromancers are professions, and it is also possible that barbarians pass on to the necromancer profession. Just like the tribe of our barbarians, they are also divided into those who are proficient in alchemy, those who are proficient in blacksmithing, and more who are proficient in combat. What's more, intermarriage between different races is very common, and all nobles are the descendants of people of various races who intermarry, so their families can inherit all occupations. Niracek is also a hybrid of a necromancer and a barbarian. β
"It turned out to be a mongrel! This Nilasek definitely deserves that title. Dabao thought again.
Burkesso didn't know what was going on in Dabao's mind, and he continued, "Baal has captured so many barbarians in order to use them as bargaining chips to force the barbarians to hand over the ancient ruins. β
"I want to threaten you by arresting a few people, Barr is too naΓ―ve."
"Although there are not many catches, there are many people who can't stand death. You see that in this siege, a lot of mercenaries died, and if this continues, the proportion of captives in the population will become larger and larger, and Baal's chips will become bigger and bigger. When the barbarians have the scourge of extermination, that is when Baal's ruse succeeds. β
"In that case, why didn't the other nobles and professionals come to the aid of the barbarians? I think there must have been professionals who didn't participate in the siege, and if everyone had united, the barbarian mercenaries wouldn't have died so much. β
"Hey, if you want to enter the World Stone Cultivation, if you don't have ancient ruins, you will also have to pass the test of the ancient heroic spirit. And that test is very dangerous, and there are often professionals who are tested accidentally die, so there is such a thing as a ladder, so that the strongest can be tested to avoid too many casualties among professionals. However, this also caused the nobles to covet the ancient ruins, and they wanted the barbarians to hand over the relics. How can we help us wholeheartedly when we are not satisfied? β
