Chapter 249: The Forest in Ice and Snow (2)
In the forest of Denzel, which was already completely covered in snow, dozens of winter wolves arriving from the heterotopic plane under the thick ancient trees were summoning the wind and snow, covering a small area in a blizzard. Fortunately, when the magic power of these winter wolves gradually wore off, the blizzard that obscured the vision gradually stopped, and the gray-faced people who were smashed by the hail were not able to see the wolves with snow-white fur again.
In their sight, apart from the corpses of several giant wolves covered in snow, Chen Kai and the others didn't see anything else. It's just that they are not happy about this, on the contrary, including Romans, they are a little worried, and the so-called snake does not die but suffers from it. Everyone knows that wolves are very grudgeful animals, and they not only hurt each other but also killed more than a dozen, so the hatred is definitely not small.
Of course, if Chen Kai and the others knew that there were tens of thousands of winter wolves spreading around the entire Denzel Forest now, they might have to find a way to escape from the forest by now. It's just that Chen Kai and the others don't know, and although these winter wolves come from the same huge group, they will not be connected again after they disperse. Because they have actually been scattered into packs of small wolves, unless there is a powerful wolf king and these wolf packs, which is not allowed for the ancient mages.
So although there are tens of thousands of winter wolves, but the real threat to Chen Kai and them is these guys who were beaten away, looking at the winter wolf skins that were picked off by the elves, Chen Kai felt that even if these winter wolves did not come to attack, as long as they were already frozen crazy, the elves found the traces of the wolves, and they would pounce on them. These furs are simply nitrated into the simplest form of fur, and this winter wolf fur has a very strong thermal insulation effect, far better than those blankets. It's a pity that even if you count the dwarven muskets, there are only fifteen winter wolves that have died, and only some of the elves can be kept warm after the fur is peeled off.
Looking at the giant wolf being roasted on the bonfire, Chen Kai and the others didn't have much appetite, because the smell of the giant wolf was not good. The fishy smell is masked by the action of many spices, and even exudes an attractive smell to the palate. But now there are probably no more people who are in the mood to eat. The smell of cumin gradually permeated the camp under the influence of oil, and the demon glands that exuded blue breath from the giant wolf's body had been taken out, but there were not many magic stones found in them, so these demon glands were directly used as freezing catalysts.
In fact, Chen Kai and the others prefer to use the liquid in these winter wolf demon glands as a coolant for the refrigerator, because even if it is boiling boiling water, as long as a drop of liquid in the demon glands is dropped, ice slag will instantly float up. It's just that the liquid in the demon glands of a dozen giant wolves adds up to only twenty drops, which can be said to be a highly concentrated thing of frost magic, and the effect of those few magic stones that are not as big as soybeans is even better. It's a pity that Chen Kai and the others only got a few drops of magic liquid, and the magic stone didn't have their share.
"Boss! Now the changes in the forest are too weird, not to mention this snow, those wolves don't know where they came from, what should we do now? Rubbing the corners of his eyes that had been smashed open by the hailstones. Fei Yun was slowly wiping the bruises on his face.
"No way! We have no way back now! It seems that this qiē may have something to do with the flashes before, and of course it is possible that these wolves may have escaped from that spatial rift! Chen Kai, like Fei Yun, was rubbing ointment on his body, because he just wanted to run to take revenge, but he was beaten back by a round of hail, although he was wearing his new armor, but the blow of the hail still penetrated the armor and hit him. At first, Chen Kai didn't feel much pain, but when he took off his armor, he found that the number of bruises on his body was no less than those elves.
Chen Kai's judgment was based on the information he had obtained so far, and of course he also thought of another possibility, that is, these creatures were created by those ancient mages, and Chen Kai felt that this possibility was very high. After all, it was the legendary omnipotent ancient spellcasters who now occupied Teramis, and now Teramis could be said to be their territory. If these creatures had nothing to do with those ancient spellcasters, Chen Kai himself didn't believe in this judgment.
It's just that let's not talk about Chen Kai, can they run to those ancient mages to accuse them, even if they can, these ancient mages will not bird Chen Kai and others. Because for these ancient mages, Chen Kai and them are simply inconspicuous little ants, and they will not attract the attention of those ancient mages at all. So while these winter wolves are the eyes and ears of these mages. And when the Winter Wolf attacked, these ancient mages noticed the situation, but they didn't care. Even if there were elves among the targets of these winter wolves, these ancient mages did not inform Ganamos and the others, who had been in Telamis for a long time.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that they had just asked to see the purple-robed mage a day ago, they would have thought that they had been ignored. But the problem is that even if I met the purple-robed mage. A few elves still found that their situation had not changed much, and the place where they lived was still a shack, and Manna Shadow Song still didn't know where she was being held. Even the fact that this mission, which was to establish contact with these ancient mages, did not come to fruition.
Every day Canamos was living with his fingers crossed, but he still felt a little irritable, even though his patience was very strong, but he still felt anxious in the face of such a seemingly fruitless wait. But even if he was anxious, he could only wait, because now these ancient mages had some more weapons under their hands, and looking at a huge war puppet slowly walking by not far away, Ganamos's eyes couldn't help but twitch. This war golem is very similar to the war golem that appeared in the Hansting Empire in the intelligence he collected in the Elven Empire, but the war golem made by the demigod Ness is made of white bone, and the one in front of him is metal. At the same time, there is also a big difference between the two sides in terms of body type, and although the difference in appearance is not obvious, there are still some differences.
It's just that Canamos understands that the biggest difference between the two sides is definitely in terms of combat effectiveness, not to mention how precious the metal materials on this war puppet are, just the two spell energy cannons with thick bowls on their backs are enough to make people feel frightened. Because he had seen this war puppet debug its weapon, the coarse purple light made Canamus feel a hint of the Great Cleavage in the arcane spell the moment it was released. If that alone didn't scare Canamos, the problem was that the two barrels actually unleashed eighteen attacks in less than a minute, and even if each one was only one-fifth as powerful as the same type of spell that Canamus had unleashed, a dozen times was enough to terrify him.
Eventually, these war golems are growing at a rate of one per day, slowly replacing some of the Elder Mage patrols roaming the streets. These massive war golems vibrated with every movement, and even the floating circles on their bodies could not completely offset the huge weight. Feeling the shaking of the ground, Canamos could clearly calculate the weight of this war puppet. Of course, this weight is partially offset by the floating circle.
It's just that these war golems are obviously only used for guarding, and they are a bit powerless to deal with other things, because they don't have much intelligence. Although Kino can create a soul core with superb intelligence, in the eyes of these ancient mages, such a thing is completely unnecessary, because the greatest use of war golems is to use them in war, so they only need to add some knowledge related to war destruction.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there were basically no enemies who dared to trouble these ancient mages now, perhaps they wouldn't have even had some defensive knowledge to instill Keno into the soul core of the war golems. After the huge war puppet mastered this knowledge, it naturally became a guardian weapon, and then began large-scale production with the approval of several purple-robed mages. The mages would love to have a large number of war golems to fill Teramis' defenses, so that some of the low-level bronze mages would have more time to increase their strength, and the increase in the power of these bronze mages would be quite important to the entire group of ancient mages.
Of course, it is impossible to use high-quality materials for mass production. Therefore, except for the first twelve war golems produced using Adamantite Mithril, all the war golems produced later became the product of low-grade metal mixed with Mithril. Except for some important parts such as magic thrusters and spell energy cannons that use high-grade materials, everything else can be saved, and even some floating circles on the war golems have been omitted. The war puppets made of black iron look very strong, and the combat effectiveness of these black iron puppets is actually not bad, at least stronger than those white bone puppets of Ness.
The most important thing is that the production capacity of these ancient mages is too terrifying, when the first black iron puppet is finalized, they will instantly explode hundreds of wars, and because the production of black iron puppets is very simple, as long as the materials are sufficient, even ordinary bronze mages can make zuò out of the shell. In fact, when Canamos saw the first war puppet appear on the street. In the huge black tower, there are actually hundreds of black iron golems that have been assembled and are in the process of final adjustment, and the great necromancer is working hard during this time, making more than a dozen soul cores every day.
It is not difficult for Keno to make zuò spirit crane cores, but the problem is that making more than a dozen soul cores a day is very fatal. In fact, it is not that there are no mages who can control the soul core of these ancient mages, but they all know that this errand is even more difficult than making the soul puppet parts. So without hesitation, he threw it to Keno, who was still in custody. Poor necromancer Keno has no idea what he has done in his previous life, or maybe he has done too many bad things in the past seven or eight hundred years, and now he is about to be tossed back, and he has been subjected to inhuman abuse by these ancient mages at this moment. He needed to work for more than ten hours a day to complete the task, and in just three or four days, he became even thinner and thinner.
But the necromancer did not dare to let up. Even if he only sleeps a few hours a day, he is trying to catch up with work, because he is paid for this mission. Although there were only ten Yasuo runes, these runes were not the ones he had secretly traced down and needed to explore on his own. Instead, they have runes that can be learned by annotations. Therefore, although Kino knew that making the soul core was an extremely hard thing, he still worked very hard to hand over the purple soul core to those silver-robed mages.
While Kino was working hard, in a real yàn room built with space spells above the Black Tower, Mana Shadow Song, who had been imprisoned, had been transferred here. Of course, the Mana Shadow Song has not been abused in the past few days, and the captured remnant soul has slowly recovered. It's just that he was imprisoned in a crystal ball, and the situation of the remnant soul was not much better.
But for these ancient mages, the use of Mana Shadow Song and the remnant soul is actually the same, both for the demon who is locked not far away, Elizat. Now Elizat is no longer the ugly image of the great demon of the past, in fact, he looks more like a god than a demon with the sun shining up and down, but the pair of huge golden horns on his forehead and the bat wings behind him still show his demonic identity. To be honest, if Elizat were still conscious now, he would find that most of his appearance had reverted to the image of the sun elves of the past. The handsome face and the perfect eight-pack abs on his stomach were all he had in the past.
It can be said that if you saw off two horns and cut off the wings, he would be a sun elf, and the most powerful and ancient sun elf. Because his hair is now pure blonde, and his body constantly exudes a faint sun flame, a trait that only the oldest day elves of the bloodline possess. In fact, the name of the ancient elves is very simple, the most basic five elemental elves and the three ancient elves of the sun, moon and stars are the original tribal structure of the elves, and of course there are more ancient primeval elves, but they have long disappeared in the long river of history. The ancient Sun Elf is definitely very important to the Elf clan, but the problem is that now Elizat is not a pure Sun Elf, and he has the existence of a demonic blood demon in his blood.
It can be said that Elizat's special state made those purple-robed mages feel very interested, and there was no doubt that the reason for the change in Elizat's state was quickly found out. It's just that by that time, Manna Shadow Song had already fled, so the research had to be suspended. But they didn't expect that in the end, Manna Shadow Song would deliver to the door again, and this time they also discovered another thing, that is, there was another soul in her body, a broken soul.
Now they want to find out whether it is the Mana Shadow Song or the remnant soul which is the real cause of Elizat's change, but the premise of finding this reason is that Elizat has woken up, and he still does not appear to be awake so far. Of course, they can wake up Mana Shadowsong, but because they have been busy carrying the Black Tower back from the astral plane, they have neglected to take care of Manna Shadowsong. So much so that the poor elf almost starved to death in the prison, and it was really good that he could survive only one meal a day. So in the past few days, Mana Shadow Song has been cultivating, and this is the first time she has seen Elizat who has changed her image greatly, but the other party's unique horns still make her quickly recognize the identity of the other party's demon.
"Demons!!" The disgust in his eyes made several purple-robed mages quickly understand that it was definitely not Mana Shadow Song that they had found their target, unless Manna Shadow Song's acting skills were very good, otherwise the disgust in his eyes would definitely not be fake. Of course, the shock that Mana Shadow Song showed when she recognized the characteristics of the Elven blood on Elizat's body was directly excluded by them, so the rest of the mage's eyes were all focused on the remnant soul locked in the crystal ball.
While these ancient mages study the remnants of their souls locked in crystal balls. Staying in the ice and snow, Chen Kai and the others were attacked by wolves again. There is no doubt that these wolves are the same ones that attacked them before, and their numbers have not increased, but they have just swarmed up when they attacked. If it weren't for Chen Kai and their increased vigilance, maybe the camp would have been directly overwhelmed by the dense hailstorm.
When the trap set in the field was triggered, Chen Kai was about to open the tent and patrol outside. Because a large number of trees have collapsed, the density of vegetation in the Denzel forest has decreased considerably. But because of this, the ground is littered with fallen trees and crushed branches, and if it weren't for the thick layer of snow, maybe the ground would have been in a worse situation. But Chen Kai actually prefers the snow to melt, because the thick snow doesn't actually do them much. On the contrary, the winter wolf, which walks on the snow like a flat ground, has great convenience.
So everyone hated the snow, even the girls who had built snowmen on top of the snow layer before, and the first attack of these winter wolves turned the huge snowmen that these girls had built into pieces. Huge blocks of snow are flying. Chen Kai had to hold up his shield to block the hail that was splitting his head and covering his face. Fortunately, he now wears a helmet with jewel eyes that block the invasion of wind, snow and rain, otherwise it would be really difficult for him to open his eyes in such an environment.
It's just that even if Chen Kai was able to open his eyes, what he saw was a white snow, and the snowflakes and hailstones that hit his helmet made him have to use the fighting qi in the Dou Qi beads to protect him. Only in this way did he reduce the impact he received when he was hit by the hailstone, but the next moment Chen Kai felt the depression of Romans. Although he was already very vigilant, and when his eyes detected some blue light, he directly activated the metal wings behind him with his fighting qi to protect himself, but in the end, he was still hit by three or four ice arrows.
