Chapter 96: Novice vs. Old Bird, Soldier vs. Hero
Tang Shidao was going to the Forbidden Demon Land, and not many people knew about it. First, mages who go to the Forbidden Demon Land need to keep their identities secret, and no one will deliberately publicize them. The second reason is that Tang Shidao has the title of 'First Grandmaster', and Lan Ji and the Hunter Mage Tower try their best to cover it up in case someone jumps over the wall.
Except for a few friends, not many people knew about Tang Shidao's decision.
Even more surprising.
Before Tang Shidao set off, it had already been rumored on the mage network that the 'First Grandmaster Tang Shidao' had gone to the Land of Transcendent Demons to study.
In order to hide people's eyes.
The Hunter Mage Tower actually got a fake out of it?
Mei Mo and other friends sent words like 'be careful' and 'work hard'. They have already given the gift jointly, and they don't have to give it a second time. Congratulatory gifts between friends are just a formality, not who owes whom. The Blood Earl gave Tang Shidao a bunch of medical materials, including the biotechnology he was researching. Surprisingly, the Wolf Venomer sends a strange request: he wants to go to the Forbidden Land together.
Because of this requirement.
Tang Shidao asked Dean Bai Xiang.
Dean Bai Xiang's reaction was flat: "Xiao Tang, I know the person of the wolf poisoner. He was an alchemist and also had a lot of experience marching. Honestly, in a place like the Forbidden Place, the Wolf Venom is the best teammate. However, the Forbidden Demon Land is similar to the mage team, usually a team of five, and the wolf poison master is a human, which is destined to not be too strong in combat power. ”
Tang Shidao heard that the wolf poison master itself was fine: "Thank you Dean Bai Xiang, I also went to practice, and I didn't want to do too much." ”
Inquiry.
Tang Shidao asked the blue-eyed fox again, asking about the role of alchemists in the forbidden land.
The recommendation of the blue-eyed fox is that the role is second only to that of a giant beast like a dragon.
Listen to this statement.
Tang Shidao also understood that the wolf poisoner did not need to take care of himself, so he agreed to his request to go to the forbidden demon land together. There was a faint feeling in his heart that the wolf poisoner was deliberate, and someone should have entrusted him to do so. This is not a commission from the enemy, the wolf poison master is an alchemist of An An's division, and it is impossible for him to want to be an anti-mage.
"Someone pays a good sum of money to let me lead you for a while. The price was so attractive that I agreed. The wolf poisoner rushed to meet and immediately confessed.
"Oh, thank you for your confession."
"If only you don't mind. To be honest, a place like the Forbidden Demon Land is too dangerous, I didn't expect you to dare to go there. I've been there a long time ago, and I have a bit of experience, so I hope it helps. "The wolf poisoner didn't dare to hold it up, just an experienced old bird.
"Before...... You were the Dharma King then? "Tang Shidao is a little strange.
"Looks like you've misunderstood, friend Tang. The Ultra Demon Academy and War Fortress not only accept people above the 'Dharma King', but also ordinary mages, and even off-net mages and other races can also join. You need a 'conformity assessment' for the war fortress, and I'm just going to mix up some military exploits in exchange for benefits. You can only go to the Void Battlefield after graduating from there, I'm just training, I haven't qualified for the exam yet, understand? The wolf venomist explained.
"I see. So, what do we need to prepare now? "Tang Shidao really needs the guidance of the old bird.
"Halo spell."
"I have four auras: Swiftness Aura, Eagle Vision Aura, Bloodthirsty Aura, and Endurance Aura."
"Oh, I can't imagine you've come this far. Most people would think that an alchemist with a large number of products for sale has the fastest cultivation, but I didn't expect you to progress faster than an alchemist like me. Yes, turn them on right away. It can also be opened in the forbidden land, but it is better not to be an afterthought, where a step in advance. ”
"Well, what else?" Tang Shidao believed the old bird's words.
"Backpack." The Wolf Venomer said something absolutely unimaginable, and added, "The bigger the pack, the better, and the tougher the better." As long as you can carry it, you can carry a caravan on your body. ”
"The Forbidden Land can be returned at any time, right?" Tang Shidao is strange, will there be a shortage of supplies?
"Yes. You can teleport back at any time in the War Fortress, otherwise we wouldn't have such abundant equipment. The backpack was for long journeys, we didn't have wings, and we had to walk a little longer for an hour, and it would have to be an hour to come back. Half a day away and half a day back. There's no teleportation, there's no flashing, it's all on your feet. ”
"Good. And then what? ”
"The lowest alchemy potion, I've prepared a lot of this. As a reminder, flammable and electrically charged items are strictly guarded against, and those that are prone to detonation must be stored carefully and must not be exposed to air. ”
"Why?" Tang Shidao is strange.
"Because of bee-people, ant-people, fly-people, and so on. As soon as you place an open Molotov cocktail on the table, it doesn't take ten seconds for a fiery bee to fly in and blow it up. These little things have the king's orders, and they are not afraid of death at all. The rougher the tools in the Forbidden Lands, the better, and the delicate things are useless if they are a little evil. ”
"So, our intelligence is basically known to the other party?"
"Yes. We also sent countless bugmen, and we also detected each other's intelligence. But apart from the number of soldiers, we do not believe in any dialogue. Even if they say: tomorrow all the men will attack the city. Nor do we believe in it, unless we see the army mobilized. ”
Tang Shidao can understand.
There are too many little bug-man spies around, and the real plan must be in the secret room.
"What more?"
"Masks. It's not good-looking, it's sturdy, and the sturdier the better. Also, you'd better have your code name engraved on your mask. "The wolf poisoner took out a metal mask with the word 'poisoner' on it.
Tang Shidao was stunned.
The word bad guy engraved on your forehead is you, and the word poisoner is actually engraved.
I thought about it.
Tang Shidao soon made a sturdy mask that could not be forced, and engraved the word 'owl' as a code name.
"Prepare weapons, the most handy ones. There is no need to prepare armor, the environment of each forbidden place is different, and the local armor will be prepared according to different situations. Because of the support of the major mage towers, we are never short of equipment. The trouble with the Forbidden Lands is travel and expeditions, and once you get out of the war fortress, you can only rely on yourself. ”
Tang Shidao could only take out the Ancestor Tree Spear.
The white snake ring blade given back by the Astral Empress is not easy to use, and it is easy to transform into a tiger man or a dragon. Transformed into a tiger man in the Forbidden Place, even if you transform now, entering the Forbidden Land will automatically dispel the magic effect. Lan Ji reminded earlier: It is useless to put the big puppet in the forbidden place, it can't die and can't move, it's meaningless.
Therefore, the ancestor tree spear is the best choice.
"Wooden? Do you believe in how hard it is? The wolf venomist frowned slightly.
"Absolutely." Tang Shidao estimated that the Ancestor Tree Spear did not have green light to use when it reached the Forbidden Demon Land, but its own tenacity remained unchanged. The Forbidden Land only prohibits casting spells at least 1 mana, and does not weaken your own constitution. In other words, in the forbidden demon land, Prince Zhou's physical strength was several times stronger than his own.
"That's good, and finally prepare the little trick you do best. For example, I'm good at alchemy, so I bring more materials. If you are good at bow and arrow, you can prepare a secondary weapon, and if you are good at running, you can also prepare a good pair of shoes. ”
Tang Shidao thought about a hundred flying knives on the way back...... Oh, this thing doesn't work.
You can't fly back if you use them in the Forbidden Place, so you might as well just make a bunch of ordinary little throwing knives.
"Well, I'm not bad throwing knives."
"I knew you didn't leave this behind." The wolf poison master has done a task together and has seen Tang Shidao's flying knife. Coupled with the aura of swiftness, it is indeed the best place to use throwing knives.
The two agreed, and each prepared again.
And then.
The two of them are full of big bags and small bags. In a place like the Mage Tower, the two of them are like two migrant workers, and everything on their bodies is not worth 1 mana.
Come to the Hunter Mage's Tower.
Notify the Academy.
Officially enter the forbidden land that everyone fears.
Surprising.
The wolf venomist put on his mask early in the morning and changed his clothes all over his body. It's not people who are responsible for teleportation, but magic puppets. They delete the records every time they transmit them, and they don't know who came or where they came. In this case, even if the anti-mage knew that he had gone to the Forbidden Place, he actually did not know which war fortress he was teleporting to.
After the teleportation.
Tang Shidao came to an ancient giant hall, and all the soldiers teleported around him were like a group of refugees.
Dwarf nezumi.
Fierce lizardmen.
Tall, sturdy minotaurs.
Swift snake people.
Strong orcs.
A smaller dragon.
There are also races that can't be named at all, and have strange shapes and appearances. Tang Shidao noticed the only thing in common: they all had wisdom!
There are no brainless beasts here.
There are not even trained hounds, all creatures have some degree of intelligence.
"For the convenience of the command. The war was too costly, and there was no time to train. Soldiers who are able to come over should have a little training in the race beforehand, and make sure that they know simple commands such as 'charge' and 'defense'. The wolf venomist explained softly.
Soon.
A puppet with a magic machine begins to record. They are able to move, because this is not the Forbidden Land, but only the near side of the Forbidden Land.
"Name?"
"Poisoner."
"Occupation?" The puppet records the name, automatically generates a string of numbers, and hands the wolf poisoner an iron sign.
"Heroes." When the Wolf Poison Division responded, the soldiers around him did not respond, and they most likely did not understand.
"Professional heroes, please go this way." The puppet reached out and pointed.
At this time.
The surrounding rat-men and orcs were in a soft uproar.
Heroes have hero's passages, and soldiers have soldiers' passages. They don't understand language, but they know what the movements of the puppets represent.
At this time, the soldiers all looked at the wolf poison master.
Probably because he was human, the soldiers didn't dare to bet.
"Name?"
"Owl."
"Occupation?"
"Heroes."
"Professional heroes, please go this way." The puppet also handed Tang Shidao an iron sign, signaling that he should go to the hero's passage.
The soldiers saw the two heroes enter together.
There was an instant uproar.
Suddenly, some of the soldiers who reacted quickly ran over, handing over their iron signs.
They know that humans are not strong.
But the entry of two heroes in the same group is certainly not an ordinary identity. At the very least, these two heroes are 'genuinely cooperative'. Playing in this kind of team will increase your chances of survival a lot.
Boom.
The little dragon in the field struck, and it swept away a group of soldiers with its tail.
Dong Long stepped forward.
Nodding slightly, he hung his own soldier badge on his wings.
In terms of physical fitness, the little dragon is more powerful, but ...... It's not a hero, it's just a soldier. According to its cognition: the hero is the mage in the net, the mysterious powerhouse of the mage network.
It is a great fortune to be born as a dragon.
But.
Compared to those who are destined to become mages, being born as a dragon is just a small luck...... This kind of talent in front of him is the real favor of all laws.
"I took it. You go back and wait first, and I'll have someone pick you to join the team. "The wolf poison master took the card and also had a good attitude towards the powerful dragon.
"Do you need to give it an aura?"
"Not yet, only when you're out. Dragons are powerful combat powers, and their most useful is aerial strikes. Aside from underground cave warfare, the dragon couldn't find a fault. We also need some nezumi who are good at using Molotov cocktails and poison bottles, and it's not a pity to die. "The wolf poison master has regained his dominance at this moment.
He is not strong, but he has a lot of experience in the battlefield.
Tang Shidao naturally had no opinion.
After deciding on the code name and position, the two slowly walked through an extra-long steel passage towards a huge steel fortress a few kilometers away...... Halfway through, a very uncomfortable feeling arose.
Moment.
Demon Dao felt like he couldn't even let out a small fireball.
At the same time, though, there is another strange sensation that rises...... A strange sensation from the Ao Neng affinity physique.
