Chapter 35: The Battle of the Superiors
There is a base of a mercenary group near Oklahoma, and Aaron has supplied some food and fresh water as he passes through the station, and has found out some information about the marginal areas of Oklahoma in the mercenary's tavern. Once everything was ready, Aaron hired a mercenary to guide him and went straight to his weakest target.
With a guide who is familiar with the area, Allen's team has a better understanding of what is going on in Oklahoma.
The fringes of Oklahoma are mostly the territory of evil creatures such as skeletons, zombies, Gog, and hellhounds. Going a little deeper is the territory of the demons, among which there are also some powerful undead races, but only a few.
"Little brother, you can't actually go into Oklahoma to collect some materials, if you lose your life, you'll have nothing. The mercenary kindly admonished.
"Hehe, wealth and danger are begging. Without people like us, those mages and alchemists wouldn't be able to refine and forge those superb equipment, wouldn't they?" said Aaron with a relaxed smile.
"Well, well, I'll give you one last reminder. You'd better choose the territory of the slower evil creatures to gather, so you might be able to escape. Although the strength of these low-level creatures is average, they are all in groups, and there are many high-level and advanced existences hidden in them, so you have to worry about it. The mercenary still didn't forget to remind him.
"Thank you. "The honest mercenary made a good impression on Aaron.
After another day of trekking, the mercenary stopped, pointed to the place a few miles ahead, and said, "Ahead is the edge of Oklahoma, so I brought it here." ”
"Okay, then you can go back. Oh, this is your commission!" Alun flicked his thumb, and a golden light and shadow crossed a parabola and landed right in the palm of the mercenary's hand.
After the mercenary clenched the gold coin, he bent down and nodded with a smile, and also said: "In the marginal region, the weakest strength is Gog from hell and the skeleton from the underworld, but they are also the most difficult to deal with. I think you'd better go to zombie territory and maybe come back alive while collecting materials. ”
"Oh, the weakest is the hardest to deal with? Aaron wondered.
"Although the attack defense of skeletons is much worse than that of zombies, they have agility and agility that zombies do not have, and they are subdivided into melee skeleton warriors and ranged shooters, which are quite difficult. Once you're surrounded by them, you'll probably have no chance to escape. Gog is the lowest demon of Hell and is not very agile and agile, but he is no less numerous than skeletons, and can unleash a fire explosion attack from great distances. The mercenary whispered, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
"Oh, thanks. Aaron rewarded the mercenary with a gold coin again. After dispatching the mercenary, Aaron heeded the mercenary's advice and walked towards the zombie-infested cols that the mercenary pointed out.
A faint layer of gray-black mist completely enveloped the mountains in front of it, and even the dazzling light could not penetrate the gray-black mist, and the undead creatures were comfortable inside, spending tens of millions of years in a daze. In the distance, purple and blood-red mist floated and flowed, and that was supposed to be the demon's habitat.
As soon as he approached Oklahoma, Aaron clearly felt the air full of evil, death, brutality, ferocity, murderous, violent, primitive, and so on.
It was the chaotic evil aura that emanated from the spatial rift that gave rise to the forbidden land of Oklahoma, where evil thrived in the continent controlled by the Supreme God.
"Good place!" Aaron's first thought was admiration, this place has a strong atmosphere, and it is a good place for him to get on the through train to improve his combat power.
Deeply feeling the strong evil aura around him, the blood-colored power on his body seemed to be extraordinarily excited and cheering, and the speed of circulation increased a lot.
However, before officially stepping into the territory ruled by Manolos, Aaron summoned the manticore lion who had signed a blood pact with him from the abyss in advance.
As soon as he came out, Aaron found that the manticore was a little bigger than before, and his muscles and muscles were stronger and stronger, and it seemed that he didn't know what benefits he had gained during this time in the abyss.
The manticore seemed to enjoy the surrounding environment and aura very much, and actually pulled out the rich dead air around him. Aaron had entered zombie territory, so the other breaths were obviously much thinner than the undead's unique ones. Looking at the manticore's very enjoyable appearance, it seems that this thing is also a great complement to this kind of magical beast.
After entering Oklahoma, the manticore looks around very leisurely, seemingly curious about everything around him. At the end of the day, it's just a juvenile manticore, and the unfamiliar environment always arouses the curiosity of the cubs.
"The manticore lion absorbs these dead qi, I don't know if it can be advanced?" For demonic beasts, especially high-level demonic beasts like the manticore, Aaron only learned a little from Belifen's words, to put it bluntly, he was just a little ghost who had just entered the academy.
As an abyss of chaos to the extreme, all other powers of nature can coexist except for the divine power of light. Therefore, the biggest difference between the Abyss Plane and most of them is that there is no element or power there that has absolute leadership. All the elements are in a delicate state of mutual containment and balance.
Therefore, demons will not resist the elements of power other than divine power, and can absorb any power, but the proportion and effect of absorption are extremely poor and extremely low. Therefore, whether it is a demon or a demonic beast, the main way for them to advance is to break through the bottleneck through their own cultivation to advance. Of course, if a few strong people are a little lucky, they can gain advanced power by capturing the powerful souls of other demons or demonic beasts, but this is obviously extremely risky.
The Blood King has become famous in several planes because of his ability to devour the blood clan, but he has transformed into an ability to devour all the breath around him, and has become a legend of great existence.
Aaron's broad, flat back also allowed him to concentrate on everything around him. The appearance of the manticore, unabashedly exuding a faint aura of superiority, made the undead who were secretly about to move stop and cower at once.
Although the manticore lion is still in its infancy and has limited combat power, the rank at the top of the food chain is there, and it is no wonder that these undead creatures at the bottom of the pyramid are terrified.
Through the soul connection, Aaron clearly knew from the manticore's soul reaction that his pet beast was very satisfied with the awe and fear of the zombies around him.
With the manticore's opening, the zombies turned around and fled, and those who really didn't have the strength to escape simply crawled on the ground to show their submission to the manticore, the high-ranking demonic beast.
At first, Aaron was a little worried about being beaten by this large number of zombies, but then he gradually relaxed, and his attention turned to look at these zombies carefully. Counting this time, Aaron is the second time he has come into contact with these undead creatures, and he is not an acquaintance. However, judging from these zombies, they seem to be similar to the zombies they saw last time they fought against the people of the Holy See in Delis's exclusive manor, and they must all be low-level goods. Aaron's purpose this time was to cultivate and improve his strength, and he didn't want to have anything to do with these ugly and stinking zombies. Aaron is now mainly looking for a place with the strongest deathly qi to cultivate, but in a place with a strong deathly atmosphere, there must be a lot of high-level zombies, right?
If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?
Aaron made up his mind to go as far inside as he could, and in case of danger, he believed that it would not be difficult to escape with the speed of the manticore, right?
Feeling Aaron's urging, the manticore's pace of progress couldn't help but speed up a lot, and a pair of folded meat wings opened and flapped from time to time, as if they were about to fly.
I don't know how long I walked, but the zombies around me gradually showed signs of resistance, and the deeper I walked into Oklahoma, the more zombies resisted the coercion exuded by the manticore, and the fewer and fewer zombies crawled on the ground.
"It seems that the deeper you go, the higher the level of the zombies, the death aura in this place is dozens of times stronger than before, just find a place around here to start cultivating!"
Suddenly, an incomparably strong corpse qi rose into the sky, and the mist of death in the air churned under the impact of that strong corpse qi. Corpse qi with a strong warning meaning continued to spread and advance towards this side with the black mist. Apparently, the zombie lords here have launched a strong warning and threat to strange visitors.
In the corpse aura, Aaron clearly felt a strong aura of brutality and threat.
Sensing the threat of the other party, the violent and ferocious manticore lion is fierce, and even the juvenile manticore cannot tolerate the warnings and threats of the zombie lord who is thousands of miles apart.
The manticore raised its head and roared violently, and waves of the superior power's coercion unrelentingly impacted the zombie lord's corpse qi.
The confrontation between the two superiors is definitely not a level that ordinary zombies can stand on. In the midst of the threat warning confrontation between the manticore lion and the zombie lord, a large number of zombies around them turned and fled, and even some zombies of the same rank chose to stay away from this battle like most of their companions.
Wars at the lord level often determine who the final ruler of the region will be. This hierarchical level of warfare does not belong to them, and the weak only need to obey the orders of the strong to continue to survive.
The manticore roared angrily, and the wings on its back fluttered and flew high, shooting up like a flash of purple lightning, and slammed straight into the towering mountain peak a few miles ahead, which was the source of the corpse qi emitted by the zombie lord.
Through the communication of the soul, Aaron learned that the manticore was not absolutely sure that he would be able to defeat the lord here, but the dignity of the superior made the manticore lion have to fight. You must know that although the combat power of the manticore is amazing, its arrogance is directly proportional to the combat power.
