Chapter 21, Chapter 22, Chapter 23: Killing the High and the Underground
Compared to the vast and boundless Flood Continent, this area is outside the edge of the Elven Empire, in the wilderness cracks of several alliances, although it is already very huge in terms of region, but for the Warcraft group, this area is actually not very big, at least there can be several Warcraft groups, and the Jairus Warcraft group is the only Warcraft group here.
As the only group of Warcraft in this area, there are no natural enemies in the Jairs, and the reputation of the Jairus will be repaid, the Jairus Warcraft Group is rarely attacked by the intelligent creatures of all races, and even if there is, it will hardly hurt their lives, so the Jairus group lives very comfortably here, and the reproduction of the group is also going smoothly, since this group of Warcraft came to settle here for more than two hundred years, there have been three branches of the tribe that have left this area and gone to other areas of the Flood Continent.
All thanks to the leader of this race, a third-order jab, it led the original race here, away from the vast wilderness area where demonic beasts gathered, to the periphery close to the intelligent creatures of all races, but let the race develop.
This third-order Jairus is wise, although it is not as intelligent as the advanced wisdom of intelligent creatures, but it is also much smarter than the vast majority of Warcraft, because it was raised by a high-level magician, and it is the contract Warcraft of this high-level magician, so its intelligence is higher than other Warcraft, and it has also survived in the society of all races, so it also knows more about how the Warcraft of the Jairus is treated, that is hundreds of years ago, by chance, it broke away from the contract with the magician, and then returned to the wilderness and joined a group of Warcraft of the Jairus。
For the intelligent creatures of all races, Jairus Warcraft is one of the most unprovoked Warcraft, but Jairus is actually not strong in Warcraft, in the real wilderness where Warcraft is rampant, Jairus Warcraft can only be regarded as a medium-strength Warcraft, and there are many Warcraft that can easily crush them, such as the three Chimeras who almost wiped out its original tribe are one of them.
At that time, it was just a second-order Jairus, and the leader of the group it was in was a legendary Jairus, and even such a powerful leader was still devoured and divided by the three Chimeras, and it had to lead the weak people in the clan to flee in panic and finally came here.
In fact, it clearly knows that the rumors of the intelligent creatures of all races will be retribution, right and wrong, the so-called yes, is that the Jairus can indeed leave a mark on the creatures that kill their race, this is a non-magical mark, only the Jairus can feel it, and the Jairus demonic beasts will be angered by this mark, and will often go out of their way to attack the creatures with this mark.
But this also has a limit, in the face of the kind of enemy that is absolutely impossible to defeat, in the face of the kind of enemy that can even easily destroy the entire Flood Desolate Continent of the Jianhua Demon Beast race, in the face of the kind of enemy that even the ancestor of Jianhua will bow down to, the so-called Jianhua will be retributioned is just a joke, but thanks to the reputation of this Jianhui Bao, they can live well in this civilization zone of ten thousand races, and they don't have to worry about being violated on a large scale at all.
This third-order Jairus walked to the door of the nest, looked up at the sky, it sniffed with its nose, the smell of moisture came into its nostrils, which let it know that there will be another rain in about half an hour, this flood is estimated to not recede so easily, in the hundreds of years that it led the tribe here, this time is the day with the most rain, even if there is stagnant water in the past, it will not be so terrifying this time, this time the heavy rain almost completely submerged the plains of this area, turning into a lake Zeguo, even if it is the overlord-level demonic beast group in this area, the Jairus are also short of meat。
If this flood continues not to recede, then it may lead the tribe to leave this area, at least survive this time in the nearby area first, of course, first look at the situation of this hunt, it sent the most elite one of the tribe out to hunt, according to the time, it is estimated that it is the return of these two days, if there are more prey, then there is no need to leave, after all, this is the treasure land that it finally found, of course, if it really needs to leave, it only needs to bury this cave, and when the flood recedes, it will return again, even if other magical beasts find here, with the strength of their race, with its third-order strength, it can also be easily taken back。
This third-order jairus looked at the sky again, it was already dusk, the sky began to darken, and it also retreated into the lair cave, but inexplicably, it had a feeling of palpitations, which made it stop, and once again returned to the door of the lair to check carefully, sniffing, listening, and even using the magic power in the body to check whether there was a magic reaction around, after all these were done, it was confirmed that it was correct, and it hesitated to return to the lair cave.
Maybe it's just that I'm worried about this big flood, it's safe around here, there are no magical beasts that can threaten them, humans can't kill Jairus, and no human will ignore Jairus's retribution......
And Hao, quietly lurking in the mud, only his nose and eyes were exposed, his whole body was covered with mud and weeds, unless he was close to look closely, he couldn't find his location at all, and he couldn't even smell the smell, he had been lying here for at least two hours, and now he was quietly waiting for the night to come.
The habit of the Jairus Warcraft is to hunt and eat during the day, and sleep at night, and at night, the Jairus Warcraft will enter a peaceful sleep, all of which Hao knows, so he must act at night, and he is the only one who can do it, Jairus is a Warcraft, and the third-order Warcraft already belongs to the high-level sequence, and the high-level Warcraft or professional will be extremely sensitive to the surrounding magic, Douqi and other extraordinary energy, so Ai Yi and An Yang can't go.
As for the others, they didn't know the terrain here, and they didn't know how to behave, so in the end, Hao was the only one who walked alone.
Hao continued to lurk in the mud, time passed minute by minute, when the sun completely sank, the stars appeared in the sky, Hao slowly got up from the mud, he did not rush to act immediately, but began to breathe deeply, every breath his chest was greatly raised, the breathing force was extremely heavy, as if to burst the lungs, after more than ten times in a row, Hao felt that the body regained consciousness, there was warmth.
(This martial art is indeed the knowledge closest to the transcendent career path, which is a systematic and systematic martial arts method, from breathing, to posture, to various medicinal baths, exercise, combat methods, body tempering, body evolution, etc., the breathing method just now is used when the body is frozen, the only pity is that this martial art can not be cultivated into the energy circulation in the body, and the physical body can be exercised step by step, at least it takes ten years to start before the initial results can be seen, in this desolate continent, it is possible, ten years, the transcendent who cultivates the fighting spirit may go to the second order, you exercise for ten years, and others can spit you to death in one breath.) ...... )
Hao has a lot of thoughts in his heart, although these eyes in front of him are a catastrophe, but he actually thinks very far-reaching, thinking of many things in the future, such as the legacy of the problem he knows, such as the search for the human city, such as how to improve the combat power of the people around him, in order to protect himself when the war of ten thousand races is about to start, etc., there are thousands of clues, it is difficult for ordinary people to just think about it, and Hao must also straighten it out, after all, now he is shouldering the lives of hundreds of people, and even magnified that he has the legacy of the Venerable, if there is really a way to enable it, it will immediately be a scene that will be turned upside down, maybe he is still shouldering the fate of the entire desolate human race。
(and...... After killing these Jairs this time, the things at the bottom of their nests are also very useful, that is a good thing, a small spirit stone vein, and then you need to go to the Plant Alliance, maybe to multiple alliances and empires, no money, but wealth is not exposed, this is also a problem, but with these spirit stones, at least many of Ae's magic are of great use, and there may also be precious minerals associated with the spirit stone veins, I looked at it for too little time before, and when these Jairs are solved, I need to investigate carefully...... )
(Finally, it's my state of seeing through everything, I suspect that this is the characteristic of the Arcanist's career path, but it's not good to say, although the Arcanist is the strongest of all the transcendent paths, then he should have the ability and strength worthy of the Arcanist's career path, but this state of seeing through everything is terrifying, let alone an Arcanist, just an ordinary first-order magician, or even an ordinary first-order warrior, with this ability, he can also kill enemies across two levels...... I feel that the Arcanist career path does not deserve such a state, otherwise, it would not be the strongest path of the transcendent profession, but the path of the gods above it!)
In the midst of all these thoughts, Hao found a few rudimentary explosive packets he had made from some weeds, and then carefully moved forward with his hands and feet, and even took off his shoes, and stepped on all kinds of sharp stones with the flesh of his feet, and moved towards the position he had calculated little by little, during which his movements were very small, for fear of making a little noise.
From about an hour after sunset, to the moon rising and the sky, and then to the moon sinking, Hao is using this posture of full concentration, almost every hair on his body is completely controlled, digging the ground rock with his fingers bit by bit, and then putting the explosive bag into the most suitable place, and then filling the soil, this explosive bag has the fire rune that Ai has carved in advance, and it has no power, she has not learned the magic of the third-order delayed explosion technique, although this rune can be triggered remotely, but it can only provide the temperature and range of a match, but this is enough。
Hao looked at the sky, it was raining lightly at this time, his explosives bag was wrapped in Jairus skin, which could prevent the rain, and there was the smell of Jairus, and it could also prevent the smell of dynamite from leaking out, the biggest difficulty was actually how to bury the explosives bag without being discovered by the Jairus beasts, and where to bury the explosives, and what kind of effect would it have after exploding, and all of this had been solved by Hao.
Now, just wait for the results......
After burying the last explosive bag, Hao did not immediately go to the place agreed with everyone, but stood up and looked at the sky, which was about to dawn......
Dawn, dawn is always the darkest before dawn, you can't see a little light, the sun is not rising, the moon and stars are sinking, the whole world seems to be plunged into darkness, Hao silently looked at the sky, silently endured the rain falling on his face, and then he wiped his face, and the whole person went to the predetermined place by the water.
After a while, when there was a slight light in the sky, Hao came to the predetermined place, and he did not rest, and immediately said to everyone: "Follow me, this is the time when the creatures that are active during the day sleep the most, and small voices can't wake them up." After speaking, Hao took the lead and walked forward.
The rest of the people didn't dare to say much, everyone followed behind Hao with fear, and walked silently to the halfway up the hill, by the hazy light of the sky, everyone saw a cave in front of them, which was about five hundred meters away from the cave, Hao looked up at the sky, the rain in the sky continued to fall, not big, but it rained all night, the rocks and soil were loosened, but this degree was not enough to cause mudslides and the like.
Hao took a deep breath and said softly, "Remember, once the cave is sealed, immediately do as I instruct, our time is only ten minutes at most, remember!"
Then he nodded to Ay beside him, Ay also understood, and immediately recited a few incantations, just to trigger the engraved heat rune left behind, which did not take much time and magic, and then a few seconds later, there was an explosion in one area, then another, and then another...... A series of explosions occurred, these explosions were not very powerful, but they only shook the rocky ground, but as if it was a chain reaction, the whole earth trembled, and then in everyone's sight, from the top of the mountain, the mudslide mixed with a large number of rocks and trees, tumbling and flowing from above, and at this time, from the cave of the nest of Jairus, there was a large number of roaring sounds, and there was also the sound of running from the cave.
Hao Du saw a rock running in the forefront, but at this time it was too late, the tumbling mudslide directly covered from the mouth of the cave, a large number of rocks and trees, more than four-fifths of the cave was buried in, leaving only a small opening, everyone saw that there were claws in this small hole kept turning, but these rocks and trees were as heavy as ten thousand pounds, no matter how the eyes inside could not be turned over.
"Ten minutes!" Hao roared, and ran towards the surroundings first.
Everyone also hurriedly acted, they began to look for dead branches from the nearby damp weeds, or plucked branches and bark from some trees, or some weeds were pulled up, twenty people were moving, a large number of dead branches and weeds were piled up outside the gap in the cave, it took about four or five minutes before and after, and a thick pile was piled up at the mouth of the cave, and everyone also heard that in the cave buried by the mudslide, there was already a clearer and clearer digging sound, and the jairs inside could open the burial hole at any time and rush out from the inside。
If by then, Hao's plan has not been realized, then they will all die here.
And Hao's expression was still grim, he looked at these piles, and yelled at Ae, "Ae, fire!"
Ay didn't dare to slack off, and immediately chanted the spell, and several small fireballs were thrown out of her fingers, and fell straight on the damp pile of dead wood and weeds, even though the pile of dead wood and weeds were very wet, but under this fireball it still slowly began to burn, and then because of the moisture and moisture, the smoke was very loud, and it was unusually choking.
"Fan in!"
Hao immediately took one of the burning branches to the closest point to the gap, almost sticking to the outstretched claws of the eye, and at the same time he also yelled at the people behind him, and the rest of them looked at each other, except for Ai Yi and An Yang, the rest of them even took off their clothes and began to fan the smoke into the cave frantically.
As the smoke poured into the cavern, the dense digging began to wane, and then the sound of Jairus coughing, which grew louder and louder, accompanied by the roar of Jairus, and the sound of crashing, and the sudden and violent digging of the cavern, and the whole scene sounded noisy.
"A human being, in a prepared quiet state, can hold his breath for one and a half to two minutes, the elven race holds his breath for a little longer, almost three to four minutes, and some large mammals can hold their breath for up to half an hour, which is in the case of mortal things, and with the improvement of the transcendent level, the longer you can hold your breath, it is said that when you reach a demigod, you can even do not breathe at all. ”
Hao's voice suddenly sounded and said: "In the case of panic, in the case of strenuous exercise or even fighting, the maximum breath-holding time is only about one-fifth of the quiet state, because this is because the body needs a lot of oxygen, in this case, the transcendent creature is no exception, unless you can do not breathe at all, otherwise the effect of air is much greater than imagined." ”
"Jairus's usual breath-holding time is five minutes, but in times of intense exercise and crisis, the breath-holding time is only less than twenty seconds, because Jairus needs to increase breathing to increase body functions, and this smoke is poisonous, accompanied by air, according to this calculation, the rest of the time is absolutely impossible to dig through the mudslide burial, but there are actually exceptions here......"
Hao turned his head to look at Aiyi and said, "Aiyi, prepare." ”
Ay was stunned for a moment, nodded immediately, and began to chant a long list of magic spells, and as her gestures, words, and magic power were in place, an optimized third-order magic immediately began to work.
At the same time, Hao looked at the hole buried by the mudslide and said: "This exception is the high-level Jairus, the low-level Jairus only has a bloodthirsty technique is innate magic, at most it uses magic power to protect the body, similar to Douqi, but once Jairus goes to the high level, it will comprehend three extremely terrifying hand-to-hand magic, the high-level magic claw, which can make Jairus's claws become magic weapons, and the sharp technique, which can make Jairus's claws and teeth tear apart everything and most of the magic armor, and the most important other magic ...... Violence increases the strength of the body tenfold in a short period of time, but after using it, it will lose its strength for a while, so it is generally not used unless it is a last resort. ”
Hao put his finger up in the shape of an elven magic pistol, pointing it at the cave, and at this moment, the cave was violently blasted open from the inside, and a huge jerry with magic light on its body roared out, and it was greeted by ......
"High-level magic missile!"
"Bang!"
Hao made a banging sound in his mouth, and then he put his finger to his mouth and blew it, and Ae's magic missiles kept flying out of her open palm, one after another, forty-two in a row, each of which was like the magic guns developed by the elves, so powerful that it could penetrate a tree with a diameter of one meter, forty-two in a row, and all of them bombarded the huge Jairus that came out, blasting it upside down, and then crashing into the rock wall, one after another, until all the forty-two magic missiles were blown up, this huge Jairus could no longer see its original shape。
The smoke was still pouring into the nest, and as the burial of the mudslide was opened, the smoke poured in faster and faster, Hao picked up a burning branch, he walked to the mouth of the nest, looking at the darkness of the nest, he muttered: "The victory has been divided, sorry, we survived, we ...... I also want to live, so ...... I'm sorry. ”
As he spoke, he tossed the branch into the nest......
By noon, the rain had finally stopped, the sun had come out, and a huge rainbow had appeared in the sky, and twenty people were holding the jairian meat barbecue, everyone was very excited, and a few of the elves were still happily discussing the battle, while the human race was silently listening and eating.
This was a brilliant victory, a total of twenty-five Jairus were killed, of which seven were juvenile Jairus, nine were females, and the rest were all adult males, including a third-order Jairus, the body of this third-order Jairus had been completely broken, and none of the fur was intact, but the meat was okay, and it was strange to say that the meat of this third-order Jairus was indeed much more delicious than the meat of other Jairus, and what everyone was eating now was the meat of this third-order Jairus.
At this moment, Hao did not eat and drink with everyone, he dragged Ai Yi deep into the lair, and Ai used magic to illuminate the surroundings, and the entire Jairus lair was full of stink, no matter what, Jair is a monster and a beast, it is normal to have this smell, and even the leftover carrion and bones can be seen here, Ai Yi covered his nose and reluctantly followed behind Hao.
After reaching the deepest part of Jairus's lair, Ay finally couldn't help but say, "Hey, God, why are you here, this is Jairus, not a wurm, they don't have the habit of collecting treasures, let's go back." ”
Hao was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned back to Ai Yi and smiled and said, "I have a baby for you to see, you absolutely like it." ”
Ay was stunned for a moment, and then she seemed to think of something, clasped her hands to her chest, looked at Hao with a suspicious gaze, and hesitated: "That's right...... You are very handsome today, all this layout and plan, killing so many Jianwei without damage, and one high-level Jianwei...... But, but...... No, after all, we've only known each other for a long time, and it's so smelly here...... It's better to go to the jungle than here......"
Hao looked at Ai Yi with an expression that he didn't understand what you were saying, then he turned around and continued to walk forward, Ai Yi subconsciously followed behind Hao, and at the same time muttered: "I'm not so casual, although I'm barely your slave now, but that's magic, not to mention flowers or anything, at least there is a date, and ah, I think...... Wow!"
Walking and walking, Ay suddenly felt a thrill all over her body, she couldn't help but call out, and then took a closer look, there was a glimmer of light in front of her, Ay seemed to have a premonition of something, hurriedly walked a few steps, and ran down for dozens of meters, and sure enough, she saw that there was a gap at the bottom of this nest, about three meters wide, Hao had gone deep into it, and Ay also hurriedly followed, and on the rocks below, there were small stones of shimmering light.
"Spirit, Spirit Stone Vein!?" Ay covered her mouth in surprise, she looked at the small stones with an expression that bordered on greed, and her eyes seemed to glow.
Hao said strangely: "You are from the elf clan, and you are from a big family, can you use this spirit stone so pleasantly?"
Ai Yi looked at Hao with a strange expression, and then she continued to look at these spirit stones, and said while taking a deep breath: "You are a child raised by His Royal Highness Iluvita, and you should not have this concept, do you really think that the spirit stones of the big family can be stacked and used?" That's right, big families, for example, my family has an income of millions of spirit stones every year, but there is a lot of income, the expenses are also large, the industry needs to be managed, professionals need to be hired, and there are servants, and the pomp and circumstance must also have the pomp of the big family, plus the expenditure on the family's armament, as well as the profit sharing of the three major systems of the family's lineage, collateral lineage, and external lineage, there is not much that really falls on everyone's head, such as me, I am a descendant, a second-order magician, a year's family dividends, and the money I got from my parents, and then counting the military salary in my army, there are only five thousand spirit stones in total, which is already a huge amount of money for ordinary elf families, otherwise what do you think?”
"There are three main points for the advancement of magicians, mental power, magic power, analysis and mastery of magic methods, these three points all cost money, spiritual power and magic power, in addition to meditation, there are many magic potions that can be used to increase, especially to stabilize the mental power and magic power need to consume a lot of wealth, and then the study of magic also requires a lot of money, at the same time, to analyze the magic formula needs experiments, hundreds of experiments, these need to use the magic tower to be able to complete, do you know how many spirit stones are needed for an overload experiment of first-order magic!!If you want to become a high-level magician, you don't have to experiment with first-order magic, second-order magic doesn't experiment hundreds of times, and third-order magic doesn't experiment dozens of times, do you take your head to become a high-level magician!?"
"How much do you know about a first-order magic? a second-order magic, a third-order magic...... A magician, all of them have to rely on the spirit stone pile, otherwise why do you think the law system is far stronger than the war system!?"
In the end, Ai Yi was getting more and more excited, Hao couldn't help but wave his hand again and again to beg for mercy, Ai Yi stopped, she looked at the spirit stone vein in front of her with shining eyes and said: "There are about 100,000 spirit stones here, aside from some deep buried rocks, it is not easy to dig, we should be able to excavate more than 80,000 spirit stones, so ......"
"No, I can't. ”
Hao immediately shook his head and said: "We only excavate these exposed, embedded in the rocks, there are almost 50,000 or so, don't want anything else, at least not now, just this, we will continue to stay here for about twenty days, fortunately the flood has not receded yet, and there is still this time, this matter is so decided, I can't let the team take additional dangers, at most write down the location here, and if we need property and spirit stones in the future, we will go back and get it." ”
Ai Yi pursed her lips and muttered a few words about waste, and then she looked at Hao with a cute expression like a kitten, and said in a low voice: "Give me 20,000, no, 15,000 spirit stones, is it good, even if I use spirit stones to absorb directly, my magic and spiritual power can also be quickly improved, and I can now become a high-level magician......"
Hao shook his head and said: "I will give you three thousand at most, I will be of great use to others, when I go to the Plant Alliance, our team's weapons, magic potions, and other things, even a temporary station...... We need a lot of money. ”
"No, at least 10,000!"
"Three thousand. ”
"That'...... Nine thousand is always fine, right!?"
"Three thousand. ”
"Stingy!Eight thousand!!"
"Three thousand. ”
"Up to ...... At most, I'll let you hug it, seven thousand, please......"
"Three Thousand ......"
