Chapter 164: Dungeon Battle (1)
The slave catchers in the dungeon city of Paladium, formerly a half-finished product of the Mage Council's human modification experiments, have been affected by the repulsive effect of transplanting demonic flesh or the whispering of demons in their ears, resulting in a series of personality collapses and become ruthless fanatics.

Even their mage masters have to use magical shackles to control these unscrupulous beasts, usually suppressing seventy or eighty percent of their strength, until the time is needed, they will release their long-suppressed bloodthirsty belligerence, turn into humanoid beasts, and throw them into the battlefield or other places where cannon fodder is needed.
The leader of this slave capture team, which has just been unshackled by magic, was once a "loyal" orc slave, and after being involved in a failed defection incident, he was seriously injured and was not recovered, but sent to the transformation workshop.
Implanted in the heart muscle of the Berserker Demon by a mage specializing in demonology, it was soaked and catalyzed by magic elixir, and due to the relationship between his physique, he did not obtain the super stamina and physique of this median demon, and only developed a layer of toad-like skin covered with pimples and scabies.
Its crotch rides a modified Blackhorn Zebu, a specialty of the dungeon of Paladium, which has been stripped of its unique thick body hair, revealing a muscular body with knotted muscles. Between a pair of sharp corners that turn into spears, a steel ramming horn is transplanted and fused.
Three-tiered heavy shields and seven-foot-long crackers were the standard weapons of the slave catchers, but most of them had no money to buy equipment, so they had to use two-handed scythes to mow the grass or even double-pointed pitchforks.
Behind Diglis, the leader of the slave trapping team, every member is from a lower-ranking group such as orcs and goblins, and there are more or less traces of human modification experiments on their bodies, either a weird smile on their chests, or a third hand behind their backs, two heads, and a few tentacles are very common phenomena.
They are not welcome anywhere, and even when they are among partners, they will laugh at each other's traces of transformation and hurt each other, revealing a ridiculous and pitiful ugly face.
Nominally, they were slave catchers in the dungeon city of Paladium, but they didn't even have much access to slaves, let alone important areas such as slave camps and slave workers' dens.
Therefore, when the mages in charge of them lifted the magical shackles and opened the heavy fence, the beasts, who had quickly regained their strength, knew that the time had come to set foot on the battlefield, and roared with excitement and rushed out as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
At the same time, Lu Bin learned the crude information of the first batch of opponents from the "spy" Windranger Aurelia through the Book of Brigade Mages, and although he was not at all afraid of these irrational beasts, he did not dare to underestimate the cluster charge that could make the rocky ground tremble.
"One drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, if you want to avoid being pushed down by the opponent's cavalry waves, you have to set up obstacles, I don't have the spell to change the terrain for the time being, so I can only use the beast wave to hit hard. ”
Lu Bin opened the book of the traveling mage, and spent his mana to summon the groundwater deep under his feet, and after a while, a trickle gathered from various gaps, overflowed the surface of his feet, and quickly rose to the waist position.
The migratory currents surrounding Lu Bin and the others and the undead surged forward, setting off a terrifying wave like a tide. More than a dozen five-meter-tall unicorns lowered their proud heads and pressed the spiral horns of their foreheads against the knights of the slave catchers.
The demonized orc Digris stared at the blood-red eyes, facing the sudden natural disaster-like attack, even the crazy beast couldn't help but be a little scared at this time, but he couldn't retreat, if the speed slowed down slightly, he might be knocked down by his partner behind him, and turn into a blurred pool of flesh under the trampling of the hooves and feet of the Lothmon.
"Damn, fight. ”
"Boom...... Long", the beast wave collided with the slave catcher knight, and let out a deafening roar, the unicorn wave was shattered by the huge momentum, and the pearl-like splash foam suddenly collapsed and did not form a shape.
At the same time, Lu Bin noticed that the waist-deep water level was rapidly dropping to his ankles, and a strong pull tried to pull him away, and immediately reached out to grab his entourage, causing the Bloodstone Golem to be restrained from the side.
In the blink of an eye, the beast wave completed its mission and scattered in all directions, but the spell enchantment where this effect was permanent still exerted its strength, and the members of the slave catching team were at least swept away by two percent, and the momentum that had not yet fallen was also contained, especially the heavy chariot-level Los Beast, which simply landed on both knees on its forelimbs and knelt for Lu Bin.
"The bird hits the plane, the kinetic energy is comparable to a cannonball, the collision between the beast waves of the galloping horse level and the Los Beast Cavalry, even if it is soft groundwater, it is at least the damage of the concrete floor, I don't believe that the physique of these people can resist the ground and not be injured. ”
Lu Bin's judgment was based on the accumulation of knowledge before the crossing, not only using a spell enchantment to disarm the opponent's ace cluster charge, but also causing most enemies to take some damage.
When Oric Tyrese saw this scene, his body trembled with excitement, and he frequently gestured to his friend's eyes, but Lu Bin never agreed to let him play.
"Wait, wait...... The other party began to move, and charged a second time...... It's only a stone's throw away, and they want to come out. ”
The physique of the demonic creatures is too strong, even if they are forced to withstand the impact of the beast waves, and the internal organs shake and cause internal bleeding, the beasts of the slave catcher still instigate their mounts to attack the "enemy".
Unfortunately, the Lothmon they stepped on, despite some degree of modification, was still essentially an animal, with a sense of pain, a sense of injury, and a beast instinct and survival instinct that knew how to avoid danger.
Therefore, no matter how much the surviving slave hunters tried, these black horned zebu never took a step, and "strolled" into the battlefield softly, drawing contemptuous sneers from Oric Tyrese and others.
Seeing this, Lu Bin couldn't help but nod lightly: "It's okay!Olic, my friend, be careful, the other party is not an ordinary half-orc cavalry." ”
The blonde boy laughed, and he jumped on the underground lizard that Lu Bin had subdued, although it was an undead creature, but because of Lu Bin's relationship, he tamely obeyed the call of Oric Tyrese.
The Bone Overseers then rose to their feet, wielding a black iron scepter, and led the undead from the mummy coffin into an assault on the faltering foe.
The bloodthirsty hunter, unaffected by the aura of the "sub-dominant undead", wanders outside the frontal battlefield, followed by a large area of black acid beetles that are like a tide.
At the same time, some members of the slave hunting team, who were barely formed, had a third hand behind them, secretly pulled out the javelins and spears in the "barrel", and threw a sinister blow at the target in front of them.
Lu Bin immediately sensed this unexpected variable: "Long-range attack? It's a pity, my undead creatures have all been blessed with warmth by the Moon Well's unique moonfire, and their life limit has been increased by an additional half. ”
More than a dozen javelins and spears slid through the near-perfect parabola, and due to the set amount of advance, the mounts under the crotch of the slave catchers did not have the bumps of the past, and the hit rate was as high as 50 percent.
The seven-headed mummy was hit by a meteor-like falling ranged weapon, pinning itself to the ground through its body, though that level of attack was not enough to cause fatal damage.
The mummy, whose body was almost touching the ground, and his hands wrapped in rotten bandages, firmly grasped the javelin, threw the spear, and pulled out the weapon that passed through the body from the wet rocky ground. As for the mummy on the top of the posture, he simply stood on tiptoe, stood up directly on the spot, and then pulled up the javelin and spear, and successfully changed his outfit in a blink of an eye, and was transferred to the position of "mummy guard".
At the same time, the skeletal overseer who was brandishing the black iron scepter and charging in front of him surpassed Oric Tyrese riding the underground lizard by one position, and without Lu Bin's deliberate control, the skull on the left side, the yellowed teeth kept grinding, and in the squeaky and very unpleasant spell, released the third-level curse of the Dusk Demon Might.
It's a pity that the leader of the slave trapping team, the demonized half-orc Digris who received the transformation of the heart muscle transplantation of the Berserker Demon, got rid of the fear curse in the blink of an eye, the compound heavy shield protected the key chest, and the seven-foot-long rifle spear was placed on top of the shield, aiming at the undead who were not good at coming, and launched a heavy gun impact.
"Whew!"
The Skeleton Overseer has a high sense of battle, using his stout right leg as a fulcrum, and his body turns counterclockwise in place, avoiding the attack of the Rifber. At the same time, the Black Iron Scepter circled and accelerated with centrifugal force inertia, slamming into the enemy's left hand holding the shield.
"Click", a double shield made of pig iron, vines, and leather nails, makes a tooth-sore sound. It's a pity that even with the strength of the Skeleton Overseer's arm, he still couldn't break through this heavy shield with a unique combat skill similar to sweeping through thousands of armies.
The mummies rushed towards twice as many slave catchers, their dry, hollow bodies relatively light, most of them calmly avoiding the attacks of the slave catchers, approaching their close range first, waving their poisoned claws to kill.
At the same time, the skull on the right shoulder of the Skeleton Overseer, the upper and lower jawbones opening and closing, and the phosphorescent glow between the teeth bumping, unleashed two ivory-shaped energy missiles that hit the leader of the slave catchers at close range, finally blasting his shield open.
"You're done!"
A sparkling war hammer followed the rhythm of the attack with a tattered compound shield and slammed into the chest of the orc Digris.
When Lu Bin saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head: "I didn't expect that one day I would be robbed by others!"
