Chapter 821: Wood Elemental Plane (7)
Chapter 821: Wood Elemental Plane (7)
Ricardo will not be like Leo to be pretentious, and said bluntly, "The first plan is to forcibly kill, first estimate the population of the entire ancient elf tribe, use guerrilla hunting, and wipe them out, using the most time-consuming and laborious way, the second plan is to transfer the tiger away from the mountain as the book says, using a phantom or temporary puppet to attract the ancient elves as much as possible, this plan takes a bit more time, but it is more labor-saving, the key is how much it can be attracted, How many ancient elves will stay in the center of the tribe to protect the soil of life, how much effort do I need to spend to deal with them, and get it before the main force that chased them out comes back, in fact, I want to try the second plan first, but I can't use the first one. ”
"Yes," I said, "and what do you think about phantoms or puppets?" Doesn't it mean that they are not sensitive to energy, only to sound and smell? ”
"Well, I didn't think about it," Ricardo said, "Phantoms are really not suitable as a toddler to distract the main force, I should summon a few puppets, but the puppets are also time-consuming......"
"Have you ever thought that it's better to summon pets or take them in directly?" Leo suddenly interjected, "I see, that wind-type giant eagle just now is very good. ”
"I owe it again," Ricardo said, "I should have thought of it when I fought it...... It seems that my intelligence is not enough ......"
His tone was flat, but I could tell he was a little lost.
"It's nothing," said Leo, "that intelligence is partly innate, partly acquired, and you just lack a little experience, so don't be so discouraged." ”
Ricardo said, "I will continue to study hard." ”
At this time, we had already flown to a place about eleven or twelve kilometers away from the Ancient Elf Tribe.
"Let's land right here." Ricardo said.
I looked down there and was amazed.
Below, there is a forest.
Well, a forest made of mushrooms.
The height of these mushrooms is more than ten or twenty meters.
Compared to the giant trees thousands of meters away, it is indeed a small existence, but to us, it is a towering tree.
We landed on the top of a large mushroom plant 20 meters high and 10 meters in diameter of the canopy.
As soon as I settled down, I felt that the material of the mushroom was hard, no different from a wooden plank.
"Giant mushrooms, collect samples, take them back and slice them, and study them well." Leo said.
Ricardo removed the glider's tempering, and the glider was like a tent that had lost its support, slumped, and he rolled it up and tied it up.
His spatial prop, the Golden Fang, didn't have such a large space, so naturally he could only put it in my Sumeru bracelet, and then he began to collect samples of the huge mushrooms under his feet.
After the collection was completed, we stepped on the nearby mushrooms and walked forward for a while, approaching the outer periphery of the ancient elves' tribe.
The trees of the ancient elven tribe are also normal size, the tallest is only forty or fifty meters, and the shorter ones are less than ten meters, and they are covered with vines woven into dwellings that resemble spider webs and silkworm cocoons, making people feel that the whole forest is a little dirty, although it is not actually that dirty.
The ancient elves who come in and out are indeed similar to the image depicted in the book, which is an enlarged and elongated version of the goblins.
Speaking of which, it is understandable that the elves do not recognize these ancient elves, but it will not be easy to get the goblin clan to also recognize these savage and flexible big guys as their ancestors......
According to the classification, the ancient elves are considered sub-human, and even if the intelligence is not as good as the intelligent creatures, it is not much different, although their houses are as simple as spider webs made of vines, but there are still some rules and regulations, not indiscriminately built "illegal buildings", the angle of each other is dislocated, lighting, and the direction of defense are traced, and it does not affect these green-skinned monkeys wearing bark clothes to climb and pass quickly.
The big green-skinned monkey is the nickname Leo gave them.
The junction between the mushroom forest and the ancient elf tribe is not very obvious, but the mushrooms in the tribe are slightly shorter, and we dare not get too close, and we go down to the ground several kilometers apart.
The soil under your feet is extraordinarily soft and damp, but it is not the kind of slimy dampness, the combination of dry and wet, just grab a handful is a good fertilizer, and you can definitely grow high-yield food when you put it on the main plane.
And what gave birth to these soils was the soil of life at the core of the ancient elf tribe ahead.
I grabbed a piece of blackened dirt and put it in a glass bottle.
Ricardo was already preparing to launch an infiltration.
As far as the eye can see, the outermost Ancient Elves are leisurely patrolling, to be precise, lounging.
The Ancient Elves are produced by gathering and planting, and occasionally use manpower to participate in hunting, but they are not particularly adept.
The elves are vegetarians, and according to Trist's description, some of the noble-blooded elves are completely vegetarians, and consider eating meat to be barbaric, but they will not prohibit low-level elves from eating meat, after all, survival is the first thing.
Goblins are the same as humans and orcs, omnivorous, but the focus is different, in fact, orcs and elves are opposite, after all, cattle, sheep and red deer in the wild are herbivorous, but we orcs can eat meat, which is a symbol of evolution and civilization.
The ancient elves also focus on vegetarianism, but they will never have any psychological burden on eating meat, but they just live in such an environment and have what to eat.
However, the Elder Elves are not gentle because they are good at farming and gathering, and instead they are extremely ferocious to enemies that invade their territory and prey that are about to become food.
All these things made me more interested in the evolution of species.
I had a clue here, and Ricardo said, "I'm leaving!" "He activated the concealment spell and passed.
The infiltration plan failed extremely completely.
As soon as Ricardo got closer, he was discovered by the big green-skinned monkeys who seemed to be loitering, and the concealment technique was simply useless.
The ancient elves threw a burst of attacks, including throwing spears, stones, branches, animal bones, stinky fruits, and other projectiles, like a torrential rain, pouring down on Ricardo's location!
Ricardo directly withdrew the concealment technique and ran, and the Tyrannosaurus rex and I hid in a large mushroom through Leo's wooden escape, watching Ricardo run away, and the irascible ancient goblin chased on all fours until the middle of the mushroom forest before giving up, shaking his arms proudly and walking back to the tribe on his legs.
They run fast on all fours, and when they walk on their feet, their knees are bent, and their backs are slumped, and if they stand up straight, they are about the same as humans, slightly shorter than elves, but they are more athletic, and with green or brown skin, it is really impossible to tell whether they are elves or magnified goblins, or australopithecus with some ape blood.
I was very observant, and they walked by, but they didn't notice me at all.
It was a long time before Ricardo cautiously returned to the vicinity, and when I stepped out of the mushroom "trunk", he was a little discouraged and said, "Concealment doesn't work for them at all." ”
"Then start the backup plan," I said, "just tell me what you're going to do, and the plan is up to you." ”
Ricardo nodded, seeming a little hesitant.
I said, "Go ahead and don't worry about one or two failures." ”
Leo simply didn't speak.
Ricardo jumped on the mushroom canopy, observed for a while, and began to prepare for the next plan.
He didn't rush to summon, but ran around the entire tribe of ancient elves before starting to make a plan.
"There are three exits for the entire tribe," he drew a map for me on the ground, "The number of ancient elves in the tribe is two to three thousand, of which about one thousand seven hundred can fight, and it seems that some of them can use elemental energy skills, it should be their wizard shaman, the number is less than a hundred, and it is more difficult to lead most of the combat power away at one time, I decided to change the strategy, combine the two backup plans, draw out a part, eliminate it, and then repeat a step to gradually eliminate their main force, Until the combat effectiveness of the personnel left behind inside is low enough, I will cooperate with the summoning of pets and directly kill the core. ”
"The standard dungeon farming strategy," Leo said, "However, the opponent is not a set monster, but a sub-human race with a certain intelligence, and there may be some variables in it." ”
Ricardo said, "This is not the final plan, and I will adjust it as the field changes. ”
"That's right," Leo said, "but it's better to make a few filings." ”
Ricardo said, "I will." ”
Then he got into action again.
First, he summoned the animals of his own plane.
The energy required to summon across the plane is often more, and it is more labor-saving to summon the original plane, not to mention, this is the wood element plane, which is originally one of the destinations for the mages of the main plane to summon, so it is even easier to summon here.
Besides, the creatures here are more adapted to the environment here, and their strength is more secure, so I still appreciate Ricardo's decision.
However, to my surprise, he summoned not a powerful species, but a deer that was good at running.
This is a low-level magical beast that has the energy of the wood and wind systems and is good at running.
Then he ordered the deer to run and lure the ancient elves near the door, and we waited in the mushroom forest.
After a while, the Wood Spirit Deer attracted more than a dozen ancient elves, and they were almost injured by the javelin thrown out.
The ancient elves screamed and chased wildly, showing great enthusiasm for the deer of the wood spirits, and it seemed that they would not give up until they caught their hands.
Ricardo and I quietly followed, and ran straight out for several kilometers before Ricardo rushed out.
