Chapter 3 The Bighorn Snake
This time, the reason why the Donn mercenary team entered the very dangerous depths of the Horn Forest was mainly to find the magic herb Frost Grass that could cure Marianda's injuries.
Frost Grass is a very cherished magical medicine, and countless precious potions of the Ice and Snow Church of the Hadma Empire need this magic medicine as the main medicine.
Even a shriveled Frostweed seedling is worth more than ten Hardema Gold Coins. And the mature frost grass that is more than thirty years old is worth at least fifty Hardma Empire gold coins.
This magic potion only grows in the wild forests north of the continent of Reos, and with the exception of the Hadma Empire, only small amounts can be grown in the wilderness on the northern borders of the four nearby kingdoms and eleven principalities.
Frost grass is not only expensive, but also very rare. Once it appears on the market, it will be quickly bought by the Ice and Snow Church.
Compared with the Nordland and Ferren empires, the Hadmar Empire is more relaxed in terms of faith.
But the goddess of ice and snow is also the two most important gods of the Hadma Empire, and all officials and nobles of the empire must believe in this goddess of ice and snow.
In the face of competition from the Ice and Snow Church, even Alan was already a ninth-level silver median powerhouse, and he hadn't gotten a single frost grass in recent years.
This time, Alan heard that three frost grasses had been found in the depths of the Oxhorn Forest, although these three frost grasses were located near the lair of the eleventh level silver high-ranking demonic beast Fire Feather Red Eagle, but for the sake of Marianda, Alan still decided to take the mercenary team to venture deep into the depths of the Horn Forest.
It's been six days since I entered the Horn Forest, and I still don't have a clue about looking for Frost Grass. Although there have been occasional gains in the past few days, if there is no harvest within three or four days, after the supplies are exhausted, Donn's team can only withdraw from the Horn Forest in a gloomy manner.
They didn't find the frost grass, but they found the bighorn sunflower snake, and Tang En and the others were immediately very happy.
There are three types of Aoi Snake Monsters in the Oxhorn Forest, namely the small green-backed sunflower snake, the medium-sized garland sunflower snake, and the large large-horned sunflower snake.
The Bighorn Snake is a large water-type magical beast that generally lives near rivers and streams. The adult Bighorn Aoi Snake is fifteen or sixteen meters long, with a two-foot-long golden horn on its head, and is a difficult sixth-level demonic beast.
Generally speaking, the smaller the size of the monster, the easier it is to deal with, and the combat power of ordinary small monsters is not as good as that of mercenaries of the same level. A medium-sized Warcraft would require three or five warriors of the same level to fight against it.
For a large magical beast like the Bighorn Aoi Serpent, only a well-configured and high-level mercenary squad can be sure of victory.
Tang En's mercenary squad has three mid-level professionals, namely the ninth-level warrior captain Allen, the seventh-level arcanist Marianda, and the seventh-level heavy infantry Todak.
Although Marianda is not in the mercenary squad now, this mercenary squad is also sure to win against two adult bighorn sunflower snakes.
Moreover, this mercenary team called Dragon's Horn also has two rare spell-casting professionals.
Spell-casting professionals like Lucia and Don are far more difficult and weird than warrior professionals. The more complex the environment, the stronger the combat effectiveness of legal professionals like them.
In a dangerous place like the Oxhorn Forest, Lucia and Don were more effective than the two seventh-level warriors.
So even if two large magical beasts were discovered, the entire mercenary team did not panic in the slightest, but was a little excited.
The Bighorn Snake crawled through the forest at an extremely fast speed, and in a short moment, it scurried to the vicinity of the mercenary team.
The team's fourth-level archer Bruce and third-level crossbowman Celt spearheaded the attack, shooting arrows at the two giant serpents.
The arrows were like lightning, shooting forward with great speed, making a sharp whistling sound.
The crossbow arrow was shot at the large-horned sunflower snake, piercing the scale armor of the large-horned sunflower snake and penetrating more than half a foot into the flesh.
Although the two crossbow arrows injured the Bighorn Aoi Snake, the vitality of this large demonic beast is very strong, and an injury like this is not fatal to it at all, but it stimulates the ferocity of the demonic beast.
The two bighorned sunflower snakes roared angrily, and the golden horns above their heads flashed continuously, and they successively emitted the signature magic python rays of snake monsters.
This magic is a three-ring magic that consumes 38 points of spiritual power, and the magic strength reaches seventeen degrees.
On the continent of Reos, the attack intensity that can be used to kill an unsuspecting ordinary human is set at 1 degree.
Generally speaking, the damage of the zero ring magic is below 1 degree, the damage of the first ring magic is 1-5 degrees, and the damage of the second ring magic is 6-10 degrees.
Once inside the Three Rings, the magic strength increases dramatically, reaching a range of 10-20 degrees.
The magic strength of the Python Ray is 17 degrees, which is already a three-ring magic with strong attack power. This magic is not only powerful, but also extremely fast, like a whistling bullet that hits the mercenary squad.
Todak, the heavy shield hand in front, was shocked, and with a loud shout, he put the 280-pound giant shield in front.
I saw a strong energy fluctuation coming from the dwarf heavy shield hand, and he immediately released his bloodline ability to protect it strongly.
On the Rios Continent, in addition to the warrior profession can awaken the fighting spirit, every awakened professional will awaken the bloodline ability.
This bloodline ability is like magic, and is as severely limited as spell bits.
Generally speaking, Bronze Rank 1-6 professionals can only use the power of the Bloodline once a day, Tier 7-12 Silver Professionals can use it twice, and when it comes to Levels 13-18 Gold Professionals, this Bloodline Power can only be used three times.
Even if you enter the legend, the restriction of the bloodline ability will be extremely strong, and it is impossible to loosen it in the slightest, unless the professional can ignite the divine fire and become a god, this bloodline restriction will be changed.
The magic strength of the bloodline ability is not static, it will slowly increase according to the level of the professional.
Todak was already a level 7 silver professional, and although he had just entered the silver level, the strength of his bloodline ability was already equivalent to the magic of the four rings.
Todak's strong protection is a four-ring bloodline spell, and it is also a rare large-area defense spell. It consumes 46 mental power, has a cast power of 22 degrees, and is capable of withstanding three magic attacks below 15 degrees.
Although the strength of the python rays of the Bighorn Snake was extraordinary, reaching 17 degrees from more than 15 degrees, the two python rays could not break through Todak's strong protection.
Just as Todak withstood the magic of the Greathorn Snake, Captain Allen unleashed his bloodline ability, the Body of the Holy Spirit, with a spear in his hand, and rushed towards the Greathorn Snake.
At the same time, Bruce had already fired three rounds of feathered arrows in a row, and Celt had also mounted his crossbow arrows and fired them at the Bighorn Snake in the back.
was shot five arrows one after another, and the bighorn sunflower snake was already left with a lot of injuries.
At this time, Lucia, a fifth-level priest, also ended her chanting and sent out a three-ring divine magic frozen spear.
This three-ring magic is also the most powerful magic in Lucia's hands. In the face of the large demonic beast with rough skin and thick flesh, Lucia did not hesitate at all, and immediately used the killer weapon in her hand.
The Three-Ring Magic Frozen Spear is also a powerful attack spell that consumes 34 mental power and casts a strength of 15 degrees. As soon as this powerful hole card was played, it quickly changed the tide of battle, and the spear fired by Lucia hit the abdomen of the Bighorn Aoi Snake, leaving a one-foot-deep **, almost cutting the snake's body into two pieces.
