Chapter 15: Extraordinary Ideas, Great Expectations, One Breath and Three Transformations
In "Sun Tzu: Seeking Attack", it is said: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles;" means that in military disputes, one can understand both the enemy and oneself, and even after a hundred battles, you will not lose.
Zhu Peng was a Sword Saint himself, and he knew too well what a Sword Saint would do when facing a powerful mage, and even knew the extent to which even the slightest psychological change could be keenly captured and predicted.
The old orc Juggernaut thought he knew what a necromancer would do when he faced his own raid...... It's nothing more than teleportation, flickering, magic shields, and no matter how strong and crazy it is, it is a very indifferent thing in the eyes of the old orc sword master.
One party knows itself and knows the other, and the other party knows itself and does not know the other, and in the end it doesn't die, who will die?
Because of the existing psychological expectations, when Zhu Peng turned around and stabbed it, the hedging between reality and thinking made the old orc pause, and its discomfort and "confusion" were also expected by Zhu Peng, so this old guy was connected by Zhu Peng's set of explosive combos until he died.
Melee combat is so dangerous and cruel that it changes rapidly, and after making mistakes one after another in front of the peers, it is an absolute disadvantage that is difficult to get back.
MMP, Demon Warlock/Necromancer Melee Solo Kill Sword Master! The Flame Necromantic Demon on the side was lying on the side and shouting, "666!"
In fact, if it is just a simple necromancer who kills the Sword Saint alone in melee combat, it is indeed quite exaggerated, but how to count the part-time bloodline of the Demon Warlock, this is actually rare, but it is not exaggerated.
The Abyss Demon was originally a demonic and martial arts dual-cultivation creature that rivaled the dragon, and the Great Demon who could be promoted to the Holy Domain, even if it was a pure law system, most of his hand-to-hand combat abilities were not much weaker, and it was unlikely that he would lack experience in melee combat.
The great demons that grew up in the world of the Endless Abyss can be said to be famous for their stupid X plus energy, not only because of their talent, but also because of their growth history, which is often a history of war and killing.
When Zhu Peng, who was dressed in pure white bone armor with crimson lightning on it, appeared carrying the head of the orc old sword master, the other two orc sanctuaries were in a state of mental collapse.
For a while, they couldn't understand Zhu Peng's fighting trap and the desperate process of the old swordmaster's wrong step, they only knew that the two of them were not the opponent of the orc old swordmaster. And now, the old man has been beheaded in a short period of time.
Blood and fire burned, the darkness shrouded in Tydar Island, Zhu Peng did not give the other party too much time for despair and fear, twelve pseudo-Sanctuary level skeletons, a dragon scale mutated blood skeleton, plus a flame necromantic demon, they all surrounded the already injured orc island master and Amazon centaur archer and slashed and slashed.
In fact, that Amazon centaur archer is very difficult to kill, the half-man and half-horse displacement ability is amazing, coupled with the terrifying strong archery skills, fighting guerrilla warfare in suitable terrain, it can deal with three to five sanctuaries in one sanctuary, and even complete part of the shooting.
But because of the momentary loss of consciousness just now and Zhu Peng's curse spell, it was stained by the necromantic summon in a trance, and once it was stained, it could not get rid of it, and Zhu Peng's intentions for it were even more than the brave orc island master next to him.
Shining Knight Lotari-Irons, at this moment, she is holding the ground with the long sword in her hand, just keeping her aura spreading, gasping and regaining her strength, but she is not in a hurry, because it is obvious that the situation is now settled.
At this moment, Luo Tali looked at her husband who was armed with skull armor and white bones on the side, and only felt a little strange, because he had to completely use the power of the demon's true body, so Zhu Peng was wrapped in every inch of his body at this time.
Although it is still Daxiu Victor's skin, the demon's horns extend out of his forehead, and his eyes are a demonic crimson blood, and even the white bone armament has the effect of sealing the abyss demonic energy, otherwise the identity will still be revealed.
In the realm of the Holy Domain Mage, if the identity is revealed to be an abyss demon, it is still very troublesome, not only the foundation that has been laid cannot be kept, but even the Victor family will be implicated.
But if it is a demigod-level existence and then it is revealed to be the identity of the abyss demon, then it is not a big problem, there are many wizards in the wizarding world who transform themselves into demons, dragons, and blood bloodlines, but the stronger the spiritual power, the higher the difficulty of perfect transformation, so there are not a few people who directly kill themselves and go crazy.
There is also such a method in this world, and when the demigod-level identity is revealed, it is said that he transforms his bloodline...... Or that the demonic stance is often chaotic, and this group of teases often can't play the delicate work of spies, even if they have a high IQ and can do it, many of them are reluctant to return to the lower plane after staying in the middle plane for a while.
The world of the Endless Abyss is undoubtedly not a beautiful and friendly hometown worth remembering.
There is no shortage of records in the history of many planes, where demons smuggled into the middle plane for a long time and then became the vanguard of the opposition to the invasion of the Abyss, often referred to by the natives of the world: dark heroes.
In fact, this is just like a communist person who goes to a certain capitalist country and becomes a staunch capitalist defender after enjoying the sugar-coated shells of capitalism.
Either choose to become a dark hero in this world, and enjoy hundreds or even thousands of years of material abundance and happiness, anyway, the price you need to pay is just to kill demons, and you don't kill less when you are in the endless abyss.
Either choose to be loyal to the abyss, or to be loyal to the demonic instinct that brings blood and fire to the world and destroys everything, these two choices are not essentially more noble, but can only say that they have different hobbies, different preferences, and different choices in the end, and this is the absolute liberal: the devil!
Even the Endless Abyss does not reject this choice of its own children, because its essence is chaotic and chaotic, as long as you are strong enough, as long as you can bear the price you have to pay for your choice, then enjoy it and follow your own heart.
In the process of resisting the erosion of the Endless Abyss World, what you really need to care about is never those demons who have smuggled in from the lower plane, and those with low sanity can't control their instinct to kill and destroy wantonly.
What really needs to be cared about is the middle plane's own kindred, and when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.
The world of the Endless Abyss is in fact extremely powerful and charismatic, and many people in the middle plane are often captured by this touching charm in the process of fighting against it, and become madmen who want to make the Endless Abyss truly come.
The abyssal nature of chaos and chaos, demons will become companions, and companions will become enemies.
It itself represents creation, growth, and the end, the truth about the end of the universe among the three, and the charm of the "Tao", once touched, the more intelligent people are, the more difficult it is not to be confused and attracted by it.
The two orc priests in the terrified Sacred Domain, the orc island master was finally killed by Zhu Peng with a single blow of the bone spear, and the Amazon centaur was captured alive with his legs broken in front of him.
In the end, Zhu Peng summoned three beast bone bone dragons, allowing people to take two heads and a captive to cruise the whole island, the orc lion and the Amazon centaur are both fierce and strong races that advocate death fighting, but when the spiritual pillars all collapsed, some of the lion and centaurs frantically launched suicide attacks, but most of the lion and centaurs laid down their weapons and stopped resisting.
In the High Demon World, even the upper echelons of the Sacred Domain have already died in battle, and no matter how desperate the people below are, it is no longer meaningful, even if they repel others at this time, there is no Sacred Domain, and the enemy Sacred Domain will come over today to kill a hundred and ten people, and tomorrow will come to kill a hundred and ten people, will there still be living people on Tedal Island in a few years?
Tactics like this have appeared repeatedly in the High Demon World, and there are endless books on history, because they are indeed easy to use, although there is no shortage of Sacred Domain powerhouses who have collapsed and been strangled by the army, but it is often more when the former wins the final victory.
Most of the powerhouses in the Sacred Domain were forced to retreat and resisted, but they were strangled by the army, which was a mistake. In other words, as long as he didn't make a mistake, there was almost no chance that the Sanctuary would be beaten to death by the lower-level people.
As Tithar Island fell into the pockets of the Victor family, a golden triangle route that started from Ansteon Island, transited to the immortal empire Winnie City, then went to Terdar Island, and finally returned to Ansteon Island.
However, the name of the Victor family's wealth spread to all directions, but it was Daxiu Victor who first entered the Holy Domain, and he used one enemy to three and complete the terrifying name of killing on the spot.
Only this battle has become famous in the world, and no one in the world knows you from now on!
..................
There are people in the court who are good officials, and this sentence also makes sense in the heterographic world.
Although the Irons family is not a prominent family and a military magnate, but it is an old military aristocrat in the imperial capital, such a family usually does not look like much, and may even look more shabby.
But time itself is actually a very terrible thing, and under the water of time, the Irons clan can deliver words at any level of the imperial military, which is already a very terrifying latent force in itself.
Of course, under normal circumstances, this latent force is useless, but when this latent force is combined with abundant financial resources, its energy is enough to make anyone look sideways.
In the Chinese history of the earth, someone once asked a famous general: "When will the world be peaceful?"
The famous general replied: "Wenchen is not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death." ”
In fact, even this famous general did not dare to ask the generals not to be greedy for money, because the emperor did not send hungry soldiers, and the generals had no money in their hands, so it was too difficult and cruel to ask the soldiers to die for you simply based on loyalty, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, and friendship between the family and the country.
On the one hand, they have the sentiment of protecting their families and defending the country, and on the other hand, they also hope that their families who stay in the rear can live well because of their own efforts and even sacrifices...... Under such circumstances, there are too few soldiers who can maintain combat effectiveness.
Under the heavy reward, there are brave men.
Those military bigwigs are greedy for money, not necessarily for their own enjoyment, but the army itself is a gold-swallowing beast, a cannon sounds, gold is ten thousand taels, a slightly larger war is fought, just the pension of the casualties is an astonishing amount.
And this staggering figure is taken out by the state, and there is really not much left in the hands of each family, and the pension is often sent by the civil service system, but there are too few civil officials who are not greedy for money.
When the old lady who sacrificed her own soldiers came to the door with a family of orphans and widows, how many of these military bigwigs were so thick-skinned and black-hearted that they divided each of them with a dog stick, and then drove them to the street to ask for food?
The army, schools, and prisons are the three easiest places to learn things and the easiest places to cultivate the feelings of robes, not to mention that the pro-soldier troops cultivated in this way are also the most loyal and combative, and they are not without benefits for the military bosses.
But at the level of the national system, the civilian side must suppress the military, which is normal, if a country's civilian system is stronger and more aggressive than the military, it means that the country has begun to move towards deformity, so when the Victor family, who occupies the golden sea route, takes the line of the imperial military through the relationship of the Irons family, many roads are easy to pave.
If his fief is in the inland of the Immortal Empire, then Zhu Peng's choice must be to join the civilian camp system, because the only strongest violent group in the Immortal Empire can only be the Immortal Emperor, and the military department is second-line, but his fief is on the border of the empire, and the farther away from the empire itself, the smaller the power of the civilian camp, so Zhu Peng's final choice is very clear, he chooses to export benefits to the imperial military, and everyone has money to earn together.
On the one hand, it is indeed coveted by the golden sea route composed of Winnie City, Anstann Island, and Tydar Island, and on the other hand, because of the identity and outstanding achievements of Count Daxiu-Victor's Sacred Mage, in short, after taking the line, the military's response and feedback are also very fast.
A well-known garrison legion "Phillips' Wolf" was dispatched, a force of 2,000 people, although the legion elder Dema was only a strong third-order, but he had a record of leading the "Phillips's Wolf" to successfully strangle the powerhouses of the Sanctuary, and was a clear-headed and well-known imperial military commander.
Not only that, the military department actually equipped two hundred magic energy destruction cannons here in one go, this is definitely the anger of the empire, the little political donation that Zhu Pengjin offered can't even buy twenty magic energy destruction cannons, no, this is a non-sale item that no matter how rich you are, you can't easily buy it.
However, Zhu Peng's political donation is into the private pocket of the military boss, and the two hundred magic energy destruction cannons equipped with it cost the empire's military expenses, and it is reasonable and legal, with the increasing rise of the golden sea route, in the foreseeable future, this will be the empire's tax province, and it is really normal to pay the cost to protect the safety here.
On this point, neither the military department nor the civilian system will have any objections.
Normally, such a magic energy destruction cannon should be loaded in the core area of Anstann Island, but Zhu Peng finally chose to load all of them on the battleship, commanded by Captain Planck, who contributed one of his eyes in the last battle, under the lock of magic equipment, now Captain Planck is pointing, two hundred magic energy destruction cannons are bombarded, this lethal explosive power is definitely enough to compete with the average Sanctuary powerhouse.
The disadvantage is that there is no distinction between the enemy and me, if Captain Planck dares to say: "Shoot at me!" Two hundred magic energy destruction cannons can blast him to the point of no scum left in an absolute instant.
And Captain Planck, a powerhouse equipped with the Flowing Sacred Domain, can't be too far away from the sea, after all, the range of the Magic Energy Destruction Cannon is also limited.
With the passage of time, the arrival of the "Wolf of Phillips" garrison and the installation of 200 magic cannons, the Victor family on the island of Anstann has become stronger and stronger, and the inhabitants of its sphere of influence have gradually known only the Victor family, but not the signs of the empire.
At the same time, the civil official system of the immortal empire also began to exert force, after all, if such a big fish can be fished, it is still necessary to try to catch it, although the bigwigs on the civilian side also know very well in their hearts that the possibility of such a border nobleman being recruited by their side is very small, but they can't not try at all, there are always some opportunities to try, if you don't try, you won't even have a chance at all.
This is because Daxiu Victor has not yet completed his marriage to Tali Irons, and if he had been married at this time, the Imperial civil officials would not have tried to do this again.
On this day, there was a great nobleman who came all the way from the imperial capital to meet Count Victor, according to the usual practice, after being promoted to the Holy Domain, these high-level lifeforms belonging to the Immortal Empire were going to the imperial capital, on the one hand, to register, and on the other hand, to meet the Immortal Emperor.
Although for hundreds of years, some of His Majesty's divine dragons have not seen the head and the tail, and the latter step is often dismissed.
But the imperial capital is the most powerful home of the civil system, and if Count Victor can be pulled over, it will undoubtedly be of great help to pull him into the civil system.
However, this young nobleman who had traveled thousands of miles from the imperial capital was rejected for his legitimate request.
"Now my brother is on a military mission in the White Bone Mountains, I'm very sorry, but I really can't respond to your request. Dressed in a jet-black gown, Eliya was dignified and glamorous at the moment, and since she had successfully received noble tour groups, she had become the external speaker of the Victor family.
To put it more clearly, the older generation of the entire Victor family, except for the old Victor himself, who still has some minor aristocratic background, his two ladies are not really able to come to the stage, and the habits of the little woman have not been eliminated, or it is difficult to eliminate them in this life.
Lisa Victor aspires to become a mage and chase the path of magic, but she doesn't have the time or energy to be distracted by this, so she chooses and chooses, and in the end, Illya Victor can only do it.
Compared with those wine-bag-like Victor relatives, at least Zhu Peng is more willing to believe in her righteous sister who is eager to prove her worth, she is smart and ambitious, and becoming the speaker of the Victor family can give her almost everything she wants, especially in today's rapid development of family power.
Count Daxiu Victor and Lotari Irons don't care about the power of the family, so Elia Victor can almost reach the level of life and death to a certain extent, and at this moment, the representative of the civil service system from the Immortal Empire is also received by her.
Sending the man away, sitting upright and sipping black tea, Ilia today was dressed in a gothic black dress, her long black hair hanging down like a tassel behind her back, like the finest satin, reflecting the shiny and smooth sheen.
The fair skin is a little dazzling, her eyes are a little indifferent, living and moving qi, nourishing the body, as time goes by, the power in Illya gradually cultivates the general trend, now anyone sees her, who can still think of the poor girl who was dressed in rags in the hut and worked hard every day?
(Lisa actually wants to gain strength now, to follow in the footsteps of her brother and sister Lotari, is she also as talented as her brother?, she has burned tens of thousands of gold coins in a few months, and the progress is still unsatisfactory...... I don't know that the source of power comes from my own strength, but I also know very well that compared to my brother and sister Lotari, we are mortals who can't chase her back even if you try our best. )
..................
The White Bone Mountain Range was once the first and largest dimensional passage to the abyss in this world, and in that great battle thousands of years ago, millions of demonic frenzyes poured out from under the earth to devour the world. At the same time, the legions of various countries throughout the continent and even the legions of the Dragon Continent also participated in the war.
Can you imagine?
The transportation and supply capacity of the Middle Ages can actually support a great war of tens of millions of people, that battle, all kinds of forbidden spells are smashed, every day there are strong people of the holy realm level who blow themselves up and die, the gods fall, the stars fall for it, and the whole world is on the verge of being swallowed by the abyss every day, until finally the human side doesn't even know, can't believe that they won, don't know, don't understand how they won.
However, even if the victory came inexplicably, the price paid was terrifying enough, and the Bone Mountains ...... It was a mountain range of bones, of course, there were mountains here, and the bones of humans and demons were mixed and covered with a layer, but it was terrifying enough.
Under the infiltration of the abyssal demonic qi of the lower plane, the white bones above have not decayed after thousands of years, but have given birth to a huge amount of death magic.
Although this great rift in the lower plane has been abolished, because of the convergence of death energy, because there are still high-level great demons appearing from time to time, the powerhouses of the Sacred Domain of the Immortal Empire and even other realms have a tradition of coming here for training after being promoted.
Kill the Abyss Demon to prevent the Abyss's power from accumulating more and more here, and then repair the Great Rift in the Lower Plane.
Absorb and digest the energy of death, and avoid the endless supply of abyssal demonic energy in the lower plane, this place of death will expand infinitely around.
Because it is almost the historical tradition and duty of the Immortal Empire Sacred Domain to clean up here, Zhu Peng came to the White Bone Mountain Range for this reason, which is a completely reasonable reason, but it is not a complete offense to the civil official system, it can only be said that the stability period after the promotion of the normal Sacred Domain is relatively long, and his own stability period is relatively short, not long after he was promoted to the Sacred Domain, he has just killed three people of the same rank, and he has already begun to pursue further strength improvement.
It's not entirely a lie, with Zhu Peng's essence, of course, he doesn't need any stability period of the Sacred Realm Realm, and he came to the White Bone Mountain Range to seek strength improvement in a large sense.
The Necronomicon Ring Dripping Stone on the left hand has a special effect, which is that the more powerful necromantic summons it carries, the higher the bonus it can provide to its owner.
Like the mutated undead summoning, the dragon scale blood skeleton enters the Blood Stone Ring, and this piece of equipment provides Zhu Peng with the effect of summoning undead creatures and reducing mana consumption by five percent.
Then the Flame Necromantic Demon entered the Ring, and the Blood Stone added Zhu Peng's effect of increasing Fire Resistance by 30%.
Normally, this is only a superposition to the second layer, and the increase in flame resistance should not be so high, but the Flame Necromantic Demon is a deep and infinite sanctuary, so the bonus obtained by the Ring is unusually high.
Now, according to Zhu Peng's induction, the Blood Stone Demon Ring can also carry about three to five necromantic summons, if the enhancement effect of this magic ring can be stacked to five to seven layers, then the Blood Stone equipment is probably the most powerful even in the Sanctuary equipment.
What's more, five to seven powerful necromantic summons, they bring the summoner's most direct combat power increase, the first, second, and third orders even break through the holy domain, Zhu Peng can rush all the way up, but the holy domain wants to be promoted to a demigod, and the energy accumulation in the middle is relatively large.
Therefore, Zhu Peng went to the White Bone Mountain Range, on the one hand, this is the best place for necromancers to refine, and on the other hand, it is also the breeding place for mutated necromancers, for no other reason, just because there were enough creatures that died here back then, and the death energy accumulated here was really strong enough.
Walking on the White Bone Mountain, the day is fine, every night, the entire White Bone Mountain Range is shrouded in a dark green phosphorus fire, the green fire in the sky is flying and rising, the scene is called weird, terrifying, spectacular and gloomy.
didn't bring Lotari-Irons over, not because of other reasons, but because this girl is a military noblewoman of the Immortal Empire, and after being promoted to the Holy Domain, she actually sublimated a pure light attribute fighting spirit, Zhu Peng is a necromancer who can not be registered, because the necromancer is worthy of the Immortal Empire, and Lotari should hurry back to the imperial capital to register and file through family relations.
Otherwise, a bright knight who has just entered the Holy Realm, walking in the territory of the undead empire is too easy to be besieged and plotted.
Surrounded by Flame Skeleton Soldiers, followed by a huge Flame Necromantic Demon, Zhu Peng himself was digging in the White Bone Mountains, and with the powerful power of the exoskeleton armor, he pulled out an ivory brass-colored bone from among the many bones in a short time.
"This mountain range is really a treasure and holy place for necromancers, thousands of years have passed, there are still dragon bones that have not been dug up, it seems that even the Dragon Continent participated in the war back then, this should be true, in the past few years, I have made up a pure dragon bone ghost bone dragon should not be a big problem. Receiving the well-preserved dragon rib into the blood stone in his left hand, Zhu Peng pulled out the bone staff next to his hand and continued to walk.
Although it was indeed a step-by-step walk, the white bones under the necromancer's feet naturally fluctuated, supporting Zhu Peng's progress like a layer of wave-like tracks, making every step he took seemed to slow down, as if he had shrunk into an inch.
There are twelve elite skeleton soldiers guarding, there are dragon scale blood skeletons in front of them holding double hammers to open the way, and there are flame necromantic demons in the back, although there are a large number of wild necromantic creatures and even demons roaming in the White Bone Mountain Range, but there are not many who really dare to come and provoke him.
The bone staff in his hand now is the trophy obtained from the private collection of the orc old sword master after the defeat of Terdar Island, in fact, it is not a high-end product, it has the effect of reducing the consumption of necromancy by ten percent and speeding up the casting of necromantic spells by ten percent, and it also has a relatively high-level bone spear technique, in line with the principle that some are better than nothing, Zhu Peng took it out and used it himself.
Actually, just that 10% reduction in necromancy cost is a good idea.
(In this world, I have raised my current body to the transcendent realm, and after returning to the main world, I will have two transcendent subjects to use, but will I give this body to the will of Ying Long or the will of the demons?)
(The real body of this body is a demon, and it must be a stronger demon will in terms of utilization and fit, but the demon will itself tends to be a melee side specialty, and my body is also a necromancer caster specialty, and from this point of view, it is actually better to hand it over to Ying Long's will.) Day after day, the White Bone Mountain Range is actually a huge, incomparably deep pit, and the huge Mountain of Bone seen from the surrounding surface is actually just the periphery, and to really penetrate its core, you must also go deep into the underground world surrounded by the White Bone Mountain Range.
In this process, Zhu Peng was thinking about refining his own death spirit cultivation, and at the same time considering the combat method cooperation between his main body and the incarnation outside his body after the three transformations in one qi.
Although the true body of the Ancient Witch of the Flood Desolation is still sealed in the Chaos Flame of its own transcendent essence, although this body of death is only a Legendary Sanctuary rank now, the future plan that should be made still has to be done, otherwise if it is really conceived after this body is promoted to the transcendent, many conditions have already accumulated and it is impossible to overturn it again.
To be able to get started so quickly in this world, in addition to Zhu Peng's own spy skills and his own quality, the legendary necromancer cultivation he once had also played a huge auxiliary role, combining the strengths of the necromantic spells of the two worlds, it is not completely impossible to advance this body to the level of a fifth-order transcendent death.
Of course, it is not easy to be promoted to transcendence in any world, in any plane.
