Chapter 23: The Terror Deterrence of the Hulunbuir Prairie (Part 3)
On the thirty-first day after the expedition, the team suffered their first battle damage, they encountered a group of magma spiders with the ability to transform into fire, and the wizard cast a spell to attack them, and 95% of the part belonging to the fire spell was absorbed and transformed by these magma spiders, making them faster, stronger, and more lethal when spitting fire.
Of course, the wizards are not unaware that in this kind of external ecological environment, the fire resistance of creatures must be very high, but they use ice magic inside the volcano...... The difficulty and the corresponding mana cost are excessive.
Wood, water, ice and even wind sorcery are all restricted, it is better to directly cast the fire spell, in this environment wizards also enjoy the bonus effect, they gather fire element energy particles more easily and quickly, and use fire to overcome fire, the effect is not too bad, the creatures of this world, after all, most of them have Zerg attributes.
But encountering a group of magma spiders with the "fire-turning" trait was really an accident, and when they encountered a large group, by the time the wizards found out that these guys had the fire-turning trait, most of the spiders had already rushed to the close, and after paying the price of the deaths of several followers, the team successfully retreated.
The third-order swordsman who secretly liked Xue Nari also died in this battle, and his uncle, who was a legendary wizard, was rather sad.
But this kind of thing like an inter-plane war is itself a matter of wealth and danger, not to mention that everyone is in the current situation, and it is really life and death to live and die and have their own destiny.
Zhu Peng also coughed up two mouthfuls of high-temperature blood that would almost spontaneously combust because of this battle, he forcibly completely transformed into Ying Long before, turning the tide, and his own magic power was insufficient, so he forcibly filled it with magic power mixed with fighting power, because his control of these two energies was extremely nuanced, so the transformation was barely completed.
But the sequelae is that after the transformation of the dragon, the magic power and fighting spirit are still mixed and lurking in Zhu Peng's original body, and they together turn into an evil fire, constantly eroding the vitality of the host, and making Zhu Peng's racial talent "tenacity" unable to take effect.
But it is precisely because of this evil flame of magic mixed with fighting energy that Zhu Peng's dragon talent "Fire and Earth Transformation" ability has always been activated, so that Zhu Peng's physical strength has been in a state of increase for a long time, which is also the reason why he can still maintain his legendary swordsman level after the great downgrade.
During the break, Zhu Peng swallowed some of the pies he had specially made for himself.
After fully chewing, the soft flesh enters the abdomen, turning into a vigorous vitality to nourish the whole body, and the medicinal power dissolves and even dissipates heat energy, pushing the evil fire energy radiation in the internal organs to all points of the body.
He was cultivating this strange fire generated by the mixture of magic power and fighting qi with his own life skills, this crimson and nearly purple contained golden flames, it was a highly purified legendary wizard magic power and legendary Dan master fighting energy, and the qualitative transformation energy generated under the forcible suppression of Ying Long's demigod physique, at least it was the only high-level in Zhu Peng's own life!
And the most critical step in the transformation of the legendary peak into a demigod life is to choose and refine the most suitable energy nature transformation for oneself, without this step, it is impossible to talk about the physical and mental qualitative transformation reaction of the legendary level life into a demigod existence.
Just like the transformation of steam power to thermal power, and the transformation of thermal power to nuclear power, every step forward in the promotion brings earth-shaking and huge changes.
Also as a demigod, why can't Prince Meilan Longwei even maintain his demigod body?
The biggest reason is that he made a big mistake in the research of energy qualitative transformation, obviously as a demigod, his energy refinement purification degree is actually similar to Zhu Peng, and he has to complete further energy compression through the wizard tower and forcibly purify it, so as to maintain his demigod rank.
Of course, forcibly maintaining stability for hundreds of thousands of years, Prince Meilan Longwei himself is not a mediocre talent, so he can gradually make up for his shortcomings, gradually stabilize his demigod body, and finally become a powerful existence that can freely break away from the demigod witch tower, a real demigod.
This is the way to make up for the lack of talent and resources.
Many wealthy races in the wizarding world have indeed piled up several demigods in this way, but you have to make up for it even if you are promoted to a demigod, and if you want to further promote a transcendent life in the future, the difficulty coefficient can be imagined.
The demigods who make up for it in this way, even if they make up for their shortcomings in the long years that follow, and the probability of further achieving transcendence is lower than that of normal demigods who are promoted by their own abilities, but the promotion of transcendence is a small probability event with a super high difficulty coefficient in itself, so the promotion probability is even lower, which is not unacceptable in the eyes of many people.
Swallow and breathe, invigorate the vitality of the internal organs, adjust the mood, and suppress the negative and meaningless emotions one by one after tasting them in the bottom of the heart.
When Zhu Peng opened his eyes again, he had completed another refresh of his state.
"Prepare some restraint sorcery, and in a moment we'll rush to the lava spider's cavern again, which is the closest path to the depths of the River of Fire, not too far away, and we must pass through it. After Zhu Peng stood up, he said so.
Hearing this, the remnants of the entourage around the wizard all had bitter expressions, but the five wizards present all had expressions on their faces that should have been like this.
Most of the legendary wizards are not weak-minded, they have a long life, and it is something that many people have experienced first-hand in the end of success after failure.
Just one failure, just a few deaths, this level of loss could not shake the will of the legendary wizards present, because they knew that true success was never easy.
After a half-day break, the team once again headed in the direction of the spider cave, and soon after, encountered the tarantula life with the "Turning Fire" trait.
They were hideous, half a man tall in size, and at this moment they were surging up like a black-red tide.
It was only the wizards who came again that they were prepared, and instead of paying attention to the somewhat cowering retinue around them, they strode forward and began to cast spells.
This time, the five legendary wizards did not perform fire magic again, but used their own means, summoning stone giants, and even turning the ground under their feet into roaring waves that slammed into those black and red hideous tarantulas that pounced on them, and the liquefied stony waves quickly hardened and petrified after the surging slammed a large number of tarantulas, and then the large swarms of tarantulas were bound and sealed inside.
And this time Zhu Peng didn't skimp on his magic power anymore, he directly summoned the Purgatory Demon Dog Arthurs to accompany him all the way to the knife and axe, although these lava spiders in front of him have the talent of flame transformation, but the soul fire from the lower plane is not a normal flame.
In addition to the high temperature, the fire also has the effect of burning the soul, and even some lava spiders inhale too much of the fire but cannot transform it, so they break their souls and die.
Soon, Arthurs was surrounded by large swaths of spider corpses.
Following Zhu Peng all the way to today, although Arthurs, the Purgatory Demon Dog, has never shown signs of re-evolution due to its origin, its first characteristic Dead Soul Devouring and the second skill Soul Draining Strike have already devoured a certain number of strong souls.
At least the skill of Soul Draining Pain Attack hit the bodies of these second-order creatures Lava Spiders, basically killing one by one, and a large number of dead Lava Spider soul fragments around were absorbed and devoured by them, restoring the life and magic power of the Purgatory Demon Dog itself.
After the five archwizards joined forces to slaughter a considerable number of lava spiders, these large and vicious tarantulas finally chose to retreat like a tide.
"Catch up and kill them all, don't let these guys cut us off. On the left-hand side, an old silver-bearded wizard turned his head sideways and asked Zhu Peng.
"Kill as many as you can now, there's no need to wipe it out, no one knows how many giant spiders of this type are in this cave. After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Peng finally shook his head and rejected the other party's proposal.
Time is running out now, and it's a waste of time to prioritize finding the right energy source and renovating the wreckage of the Witch Tower.
Or is it really foolproof even if a lot of time is wasted?
In Zhu Peng's opinion, it is better to see the moves, and the soldiers are fast!
Because of the strength and determination that Zhu Peng had shown as the leader during this time, of course no one would object to the decision he had already made, and the team continued along the tunnel of the spider cave along the river of flames, gradually going deeper into the ground.
After another two weeks, there were less than 10 people in the team.
Even the Qiuyue sisters beside Zhu Peng withdrew from the team because they could no longer endure the high temperature and lack of oxygen in the underground lava river, and several followers returned the same way, which was actually quite dangerous, even if the Qiuyue sisters had a teleportation scroll in their hands...... The devil knows how much power the teleportation scrolls produced in the Zerg world and the wizarding world can maintain.
However, after all the hard work and cost, the exploration team finally found a large area of Fire Crystal Magic Ore and a fresh energy source wrapped in a huge insect cocoon near the source of the River of Fire!
Like amber and crystal, a huge insect egg was rooted between the large swaths of crimson fire crystal magic ore, and with its low sound like exhaling and breathing, the elemental light particles of the entire fire crystal magic ore were changing one by one.
After the five legendary wizards blessed themselves and the powerful followers beside them with powerful fire-resistant shields, the nine of them walked cautiously together.
Coming to the edge of the huge spar-like insect cocoon, Zhu Peng saw that there was a blood-red creature more than two meters tall sealed like amber, it was both like a dragon and a little like a cow, but many structures of the body were full of signs unique to the life of the Zerg.
"Incredible, it's incredible, the entire Fire Crystal Demon Mine is connected to the volcanic veins, forming a rough but strange energy circuit, which is continuously supplied to the ......" The only sorceress among the five legendary wizards, Vega with an ordinary appearance but excellent figure.
There was a dark fire burning in her eyes, and she was the first to see through the entire witchcraft circle formed naturally, but her words suddenly stopped in the middle of her natural exclamation.
Almost at the same time, Zhu Peng had a warning sign in his heart!
His palm almost subconsciously touched the amber crystal-like cocoon, and the pure gold cards that had accumulated in the sea of consciousness for many years began to spin uncontrollably.
Under the effect of the crazy spread of fate, Zhu Peng's eyes seemed to have a golden flame burning, and he suddenly came to outer space, watching the origin, reproduction, war, change, and prosperity of the entire Zerg planet from the perspective of a great god.
In the chaotic fragments of fate, Zhu Peng saw the first generation of Brain Worm Mother Emperor, saw the Brain Worm Council that multiplied later, and also saw the origin of the Zerg Race, the mutation, and the birth of the Knife Bee Queen.
However, Blade Queen Kerry is actually not the first Zerg life to explore the mysteries of the fourth-order demigods, in fact, as early as the first generation of the Mother Emperor, the Zerg has also been divided into two major systems, one is of course the brain worm thinking system with spiritual power as the development direction.
The other is oriented to the evolution of its own flesh, and even this line is the real oldest and oldest ancient species of Zerg.
In the early stage of the attack on human civilization, of course, there was a struggle within the Zerg to establish the supreme dominance: the war between the Brain Worm and the ancient Zerg.
This is somewhat similar to the battle of the deer in the era of Chinese mythology, where the powerful and invincible Jiuli soldier Chi You fought against the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, who had profound wisdom and was well versed in the way of domination, and the result was exactly the same as the battle of the deer.
Of course, it was the ancient Zerg that was completely crushed by the Brain Worm's Worm Sea tactics, but at that time, the most powerful leader of the Ancient Race Zerg had even evolved to the point where the Brain Worm Mother Emperor could not be killed at all, and in the end, the Brain Worm Mother Emperor could only seal it in the deepest part of the Endless Volcano.
In fact, this is also the result of the mother queen of the brain worm being guided by the will of the Zerg plane, although the race war is indeed won by the brain worm, but in a sense, in fact, the mother queen was abandoned by the will of the plane.
The Zerg Mother Emperor in the distant years is now rotten to the point of losing even the bones and slag, and its most formidable opponent, the leader of the ancient Zerg, is still living in the depths of the endless volcano.
When the civilization war that determines the final fate of the Plane comes, a large amount of Origin Will fills the body that has been waiting for countless years, and like Kerry who pulls the Zerg, it pulls the "Hell Armored Worm" with a more powerful foundation to restore its vitality and strength.
In the sea of consciousness, the power of fate of the fate card was squandered in an instant, and the endless fragments almost directly exploded Zhu Peng's head, but the golden light in his eyes had just dissipated, Zhu Peng's left hand pressed his head, and the right hand that stretched forward to support him felt a burst of glass shattering touch.
At the same time, there was a crackling sound in my ears.
(I'm X, isn't I?)
Slowly raising his head, watching the huge amber crystal-like cocoon begin to crack and shatter from the inside out, everyone, including Zhu Peng, turned miserable.
Zhu Peng's face was ugly, because he deeply knew the origin and strength of this guy in the seal through the power of the fate card, it was an existence that almost evolved into a demigod in the ancient Zerg, the Hell Armored Worm and the first generation of Brain Worm Mother Emperor of that era, one evolved to the fourth order of the physical body, and the other evolved to the fourth order of the Sense of Thought, and now after thousands of years, the Origin Will of the Zerg has obtained the correct path of the demigod, so a large amount of Sense of Sense power is irrigated to it, and this is the son of the second plane is freshly baked.
Although it is true that there are about two hundred and fifty brain worms/smart worms left, and with the strong foundation accumulated over the long years of rule, they are doing a difficult internal struggle with the blade queen Kerry, but the son of the plane is all about the face!
On the earth in the 21st century, Zhu Peng, who almost never plays games, knows that there are two kinds of people who are the most terrible in the world of online games, one is a face fighter, the other is a RMB player, and the latter has at least some guys composed of African chiefs crying into dogs, and the former is really almost uncontrollable.
Zhu Peng has come to this point in the wizarding world, that is, he doesn't look at his face, he is not a RMB player, he is completely a grassroots technology stream, so when he meets a RMB player (Mei Lan Longwei) and the face fighter in front of him, he is really cowardly to touch his nose and is unwilling to fight to the end.
"Elder, what should I do......
“...... What else can I do? This is an advanced demigod, if you are still a legend, you will immediately turn around and run...... Now, if we don't kill it, we'll all of them be crushed like bed bugs. The storage ring on the middle finger of his left hand shone brightly, and the dark sword and the glorious saber fell into Zhu Peng's hand at the same time.
Then, he leapt to his feet and slashed at the Hellshell Worm with his left and right sword to deliver the first wave of onslaught from the wizarding team.
............ Because of the relationship between civilization and war, the plane will of the alien Zerg world has been fully activated, it is so keen, agile, and bet in many places, which is actually an abnormal state for the plane will, normally speaking, the plane will should be a kind of between existence and non-existence;
Like the will of the plane fed by a fourth-order civilized world, such an active manifestation, after this civilization war, even if the Zerg gains a temporary victory, it will fall into a long-term unconscious sleep due to huge consumption, and there is no longer a favor race, no longer there is no regulation and control of destructive world disasters, this sleep may last for thousands, tens of thousands or even longer years;
In any case, the Zerg Plane Origin Will, which had already paid such a price in advance, had indeed brought great trouble to the two demigods of the wizarding world, as the son of the plane, Kerry, and the Hell Armored Worm, which was originally in the process of being bred, they were powerful, intelligent, and very lucky. Of course, the Hell Armor Worm was forcibly spawned before it was fully conceived, which was also a huge venture capital loss for the will of the Zerg plane............
Zhu Peng took the lead in attacking the first type of sword double kill, and the other legendary wizards present were not stupid, they also knew that now they and the others had no way to retreat, and the other party was getting stronger and stronger with the passage of time...... What's more, a demigod who was interrupted in the process of advancement, not to mention the degree of damage in strength, the merit reward for killing it will not be less, especially if it is a son of a demigod plane, if the wizard present completes the kill, and finally piles up the second or third level of the medal of honor, there will be no doubt.
Vega, the only sorceress among the five legendary wizards, looked at the Hell Armor Worm that broke out of the amber crystal with her dark fire burning eyes, and her first reaction was to retreat, but the next moment she reacted, there was no way back.
Now the five people led by Zhu Peng, any one of them retreats, I am afraid it will cause a comprehensive collapse, absolutely no wizard will be willing to be a substitute for the dead, and the result of everyone running away is that everyone dies.
Instead of this, it is better to give it a go and see if the demigod who has been interrupted for promotion is still so invincible.
Thinking about it like this, the change in my mind is like lightning.
Vega abruptly threw the lazy orange cat in her arms into the air, and at the fat cat's terrible screams, it opened its mouth suddenly, and in the next moment, everything within its range was enveloped in a layer of alien space like a time and space tunnel.
The cat vanished, but Vega floated in mid-air, her eyes and hands, even her mouth, nose, and every inch of her skin gushing out of a silvery white light.
(Ladies and gentlemen, this is my strongest sorcery in the "Alien Dimension", where you will no longer be suppressed by the will of the Alien Plane...... Please settle the battle as soon as possible, I don't know how long I can hold out in a battle of this intensity. The battle cooperation between legendary wizards, of course, can no longer rely on shouting.
The silver-bearded male wizard Abel continues to wield the ability of the Mind Chain, he is a specialist in mind and soul witchcraft, and can even apply psychic expansion shields, iron wills and other enhanced witchcraft to everyone if necessary, of course, Abel is not a wizard with a secondary specialty, his attack witchcraft is better than auxiliary witchcraft.
In Vega's Xenodimensional Dimension, everyone recovered to a near-heyday state in a short period of time, but it was useless, and one of the followers was a strong third-order High Fire Shield Defender, who was slapped away by the Hell Armor Worm's claw in just two blows, and flew far to the ground, vomiting blood.
With the strength of the opponent, Zhu Peng and the other three wizard followers were all eyelids, and they tried their best to dodge and avoid them during the battle, trying not to collide with the Hell Armor Worm.
However, it was not only strength, but also the speed of the Hell Armored Worm, which was almost five meters tall when it stood up completely, was incredibly fast due to the "sense of time" of the demigod life.
As mentioned earlier, the legendary life and the demigod life that has gradually become extraordinary are not in the same dimension, the same is a second, the existence of the first demigod can be divided into eighteen equal parts, even if the demigod rank of the Hell Armored Worm is interrupted, it will be divided into nine equal parts in one second, Zhu Peng and the others can't stand it.
In the face of the crimson blood-colored bone beetle, the shield defender carried it for a second, Zhu Peng's left sword and right sword returned to the sky with a sword, and the explosive fighting spirit swung his body to the point of not leaking, carrying the nine claws in a second, but the other followers of the battle rank were hit by the crimson bone beetle, and they were directly crushed by the speed and power.
Shot in the head, impaled in the chest by the tail of the bone, they didn't even know how they died when they died.
The speed of the Hell Worm combined with its size and strength was a violational combination, completely demonstrating the superiority of demigod life over mortal life.
However, at the moment when the Hell Armor Worm rushed towards the wizard who was preparing for witchcraft, Zhu Peng bumped into it as if he had predicted, the talent defense field, the fighting spirit, and the sword dance, and the two sides exchanged blows in a loud bang, and Zhu Peng's whole person was knocked out, but the Hell Armor Worm impact attack was forcibly blocked.
At this moment, two spells descended on the body of the Hell Armor Worm one after another, making the almost unbeatable battle situation suddenly have a slight room for maneuver.
One of the five legendary wizards is proficient in necromancy spells, and he has the ability to stack the dual sorcery of "aging" and "damage amplification" on the body of the Hell Armored Worm at the same time.
Aging has made the Hellenite's originally incredibly fast and astonishing speed suddenly slow down, becoming no longer as fast and ferocious as a third-order professional can't parry, and the damage increase has reduced the physical defense of this demigod's life to a certain extent, at least making the melee slasher's sword no longer ineffective.
At this time, two of the four remaining powerful retinues had already died, as well as a female assassin with nimble footwork and the shield guard who was vomiting blood, in other words, in a sense, Zhu Peng, who had just gotten up, was almost alone with a sword in front of the Hell Armored Worm.
(I'm going to keep the effect of the double curse, especially the Aging Curse, which will be dispelled almost every two seconds, the demigods' resistance is too strong, I'll leave the rest to you, sorry.) The legendary wizard who had mastered necromancy wasn't lying, and the intense consumption of mana on his body showed the price and effort he had to pay to maintain this double curse.
But even so, the wizard still threw two bottles of potion to the shield defender on the ground not far away, a pale red furious potion, and a gray-white zombie potion, which was a gesture used to kill people, but the shield guard who vomited blood did not hesitate, he copied the potion, and then smashed the mouth of the bottle and poured it into his throat.
Then, the warrior who was heavily armed and holding a large shield that had been smashed out of the sunken shield swelled all over his body, and rushed towards the terrifying Zerg demigod with seven orifice and blood spilling out.
At this time, Zhu Peng, who was dual-wielding weapons and had exquisite and almost gorgeous skills, had already gone through more than ten moves with the slowing down Hell Armor Worm, although Zhu Peng couldn't penetrate the opponent's defensive bone armor, but at least the Hell Armor Worm didn't do anything to Zhu Peng.
At this time, seeing the shield defender who was already seriously injured roaring and rushing up like a bull, Zhu Peng secretly sighed and gave him a place.
Followers like this are often bound to the side of the legendary great wizard, the legendary great wizard has a long life, and it is completely possible to cultivate cronies and followers from family to family, and these followers are following their masters to enjoy the glory, and even when the family behind them is enslaved to enjoy the life of the great nobles, in exchange: when the legendary wizard asks you to die, you must die without blinking. If you really die in battle, you are lucky, or even die in battle, but if you fail to complete the task, legendary wizards will often hold their followers' families accountable.
The followers cultivated in such a family of enslaved planes have almost regarded the sacrifice of the life of the wizard master as the highest honor.
Sure enough, after swallowing the Rage and Zombie Potion, the shield defender blocked the Hell Armor Worm in a short period of time with a frantic attitude, and taking advantage of this precious opportunity, Zhu Peng and the fourth-order female assassin who had been hiding all this time dealt damage to the Hell Armor Worm at the same time.
Zhu Peng deliberately reduced the action power of the Hell Armor Insect, so the knife light in his left hand slashed through the four feet of the Hell Armor Insect like a drizzle, and under the effect of forced penetration, there was a slight dissonance in the coordination of the limbs of the Hell Armor Insect.
The fourth-order female assassin was more willing to finish the battle, she suddenly appeared behind the Hell Armored Worm, the faint halo around her body suddenly condensed on the iron claw of her right hand, and the next moment her whole body turned into a fierce tiger strike and fiercely chiseled at the back of the Hell Armored Worm's head.
Is such a blow powerful enough?
It is indeed strong enough, the physical body is strong, the vitality is amazing, and the Hell Armor Worm was directly blown up by her move.
The surrounding body was suddenly covered with a layer of blazing high-temperature flames, and the next moment, the flames spread out three hundred and sixty degrees, and Zhu Peng and the shield defender in front of it said that both sides were strong in fire resistance, and they had already prepared.
