The Devouring Behemoth's advance speed is not particularly fast, its terrifying momentum lies in its momentum, as if a huge tidal whirlpool is moving forward, the thick trees are like grass in the eyes of a human eye, and people and most creatures are as small as ants, anyone standing in front of this huge monster like a building of more than thirty stories will have a deep sense of powerlessness. 【△Net】
It was too huge and too eye-catching, and Li Yun already knew its appearance and the direction of attack before the person who sent the news arrived.
Unfortunately, he lacks knowledge of this super-creature, and does not know that if he destroys a magic beacon, the Devouring Behemoth will stop its journey of destruction, return to the depths of the earth to devour the usual rare minerals, or go into hibernation for hundreds of years. can sleep and eat, and there is a process for the Devouring Giant Beast to grow so huge.
It is said that anyone who focuses his attention on devouring the Behemoth itself will be hit with defeat. Because ordinary forces can't help it at all, even if there is a group of mages, it is not enough to kill it, and even injure it.
The reason is that the underground environment in which the devouring giant beast lives, ordinary people can imagine, the kind of energy that can be pressed, as if there is a famous craftsman god who keeps hammering it day and night, which makes its skin have the reputation of active essence (pure gold + mythril), super hard, super tough, superconducting, it is said that the skin of the ancient gods is similar to the structure but stronger, so the devouring giant beast is also called the god skin monster giant.
Legend has it that they were created by the Titan gods to order the structure of the underworld, but no one thinks that they have made the underworld more orderly, on the contrary, it is true.
There is also a theory that they were cursed by the ancient gods, and that they were the first to be cursed, then the creatures of the Dark Lands, and finally the creatures of the Earth, the Sea, and the Sky. Of course, there is little market for this mega-conspiracy theory, and the vast majority of intelligent beings believe that the Titans' forces of order still dominate the world of Salono. Even if the ancient gods were still alive, they were just locked in cages, weak, and they couldn't get enough of a dog to bark a few times.
And Li Yun was originally noncommittal about this statement, lacking sufficient information, so it is really difficult to draw conclusions. But after chatting with the goddess a few times, although it is indirect, there is also a certain speculation that the imprisoned ancient gods are indeed waste wood, but that is relative to the existence of the same level, just like a human being who is imprisoned in a cage that does not see the light of day and barely starves to death, he is indeed very weak compared to normal people, but he still has the power to crush ants.
Compared to God, everything is an ant, and there is a qualitative difference between them, just as humans cannot detect nano-scale toxin invasion through the naked eye.
That's why he's in awe of even the shards of the Old Gods, and the Manns are the best example of this, as they were sacrificed en masse without knowing when it happened.
It can even be said that the souls of these people do not belong to themselves from the moment they are born, but to a certain being, and the reason why they are not clearly manifested is because there is still an intermediate process between belonging and getting it, and if they can't get it, or the price of it is too great to be cost-effective, they leave it vacant there. Faced with this situation, short-lived human beings may say, "What a waste!" But if it is a long-lived race such as elves, it will understand that many times, for human beings, dozens of generations of years are only a short period of time for other existences, if it is only for a short time, a fruit core has become a fruitful fruit core, is this a waste?
Li Yun didn't know if Devouring the Giant Beast was the kernel of the hungry fruit forest in the god-level layout, but he knew that the fruit forest was in his way, so he would have to be cut down. For a creature like a devouring behemoth, which has no brains and only a limited number of neurons, negotiation is the weakest option.
Heading towards the North Forest Road, he witnessed the Devouring Behemoth more than a hundred meters north of the end of the road.
If you don't face it, you can never imagine what it would be like to be a thirty-story tall insect devouring it.
In front of its huge mouthparts, like the most violent tropical storm landing, it sucks and chews at the same time, and this sucking can uproot a large tree that cannot be held by a person, and fly towards its giant mouth like dry wheat grass flying in the winter wind. In the face of such a strong force, anything that lacks weight will be sucked away because it cannot grasp the ground, and if it is still not killed after going through the seven-layer knife grinder, then its ability to stir and decompose will be seen in the esophagus.
Many people think that it is large and has a rough digestive system, and ordinary creatures may be able to excrete it completely if they are lucky. This is definitely a misconception. Its digestion system can separate the metal substances in the ore, and the principle is similar to that of electroslag furnace ironmaking. This is also the reason why it likes to devour energy.
Normally, it is magma swallowing. Magma is like water to people, it actually needs some other elemental energy, although not much, but it does need it, just like people need vitamins and minerals, and it is this demand that Boggart's mage brigade relies on this demand to lure the devouring giant beast to the bait. This is the skill and knowledge of the inhabitants of the Dark Lands.
Normally, the Dark Elves don't play like this. After all, war is a means, and devouring behemoths often end up losing money in war, and the value of an enemy country that has been completely destroyed is naturally not high, and the inherent dark regional structure destroyed by devouring behemoths often causes more trouble. The most terrible thing is that it often constitutes a direct passage from deep strata to shallow strata, and the deep stratum is not only devouring giant beasts, but also terrifying creatures such as abyss demons and all kinds of life killers, they can't come up for various reasons, and devouring giant beasts open shaft passages, and they will naturally take advantage of it.
Like this time, the lower half of the devouring beast was accompanied by lava pumped up like a well, and there were several fire dwarves and salamanders swimming in the lava. A lava raider caught up with the encounter, raiding everything in their sight, just as the Naga of the Seas and the Fish-Man raiders of the Great Tide ransacked the intelligent settlements of the coastal regions. And both creatures are natural arsonists, and they love the sound of everything being burned, whether it's a squeaky sound or a terrible scream.
The arsonists fought the newly dispatched scout force of Boggart to observe the Devouring Behemoth's path.
Fire Dwarves and Salamanders are natural fire casters and skilled in smelting, acting like magic swordsmen, wielding red-hot magic iron broadswords, halberds, three-strand forks, as well as war hammers and moth-skulls, fighting bone ghouls, occasionally slashing with a flaming slash or simply throwing a lava bomb at it, disrupting Naga Bone Mage's spell casting.
In this case, the difference between the fire dwarf and the salamander is reflected, the fire dwarf is hard-working, excellent combat skills, salamanders like to wander, their appearance is very similar to the cave naga, but they have fins, horns, tentacles, Males have a human face, they are more robust but flexible, they rarely leave lava areas, and they are more adept at casting fire-like spells, they ride the waves like ocean naga to drive lava to form waves, and they themselves swim on the side of the waves, or hide behind the lava fire waves, neutralize or weaken the opponent's attacks, and then suddenly kill.
What they have in common is that they both use ignition as a combination of hobby and tactic, and the flickering flames and billowing smoke obscure the view of ordinary creatures, but they are not affected.
They can even cause any matter to suddenly burn and explode, the latter is a sign, a Naga mage found itself surrounded by a large number of sparks, gathering and getting brighter and brighter, it wanted to counter, but half a beat late, the gathered sparks exploded violently, the energy shield was blown to pieces, and the bone mage was also blown flesh and blood.
The salamander stepped forward and tore a piece of half-charred flesh directly from the corpse, nibbling and laughing as it ate, oblivious to the skeletal ghouls around it.
They are like that, they don't have a very strong and dedicated goal, killing, entertainment, eating, etc. are all mixed together, killing and killing maybe because a certain tree is not pleasing to the eye, so they go to play with the tree, and let go of the opponent who was originally forced into a dead corner and do not feel sorry.
Such a comic temperament also led to several fire dwarves and salamanders being caught, cold is their nemesis, not to mention ice and snow, even they can't stand the normal temperature environment, simple understanding, the temperature of general smelting furnace molten iron, for them is slightly hot but acceptable.
The participation of the fire dwarves and salamanders here made things much more interesting, and over there Li Yun was very inhumane and killed the devouring giant beast.
He used the power of heaven and earth during the thunderstorm yesterday to harvest a lot of evil elements at the Hessgreen Mill, and at night he obtained the energy pool, and in the process of clearing the entire night forest with the help of his energy veins, he collected even more evil elements.
In his own words: "If all the evil elements collected on this day were made into Ether Toxin, it would be enough to poison all the humans of the Seven Kingdoms three times. ”
He doesn't like this mixture of matter and energy, these negative things, these things that exist in the universe, in the plane, that are naturally added in the process of the formation of the world, are stripped out because of order, because of 'positive', just like metals are extracted from ore, which is essentially the case. It is precisely because they are extracted and discarded that most of the beauty is brought out, and the good and relative position of the beauty is brought out. Originally, there was no will, theory, technology, and they were separated, and there were bad and good. It is never possible to completely eradicate the bad, but people always hope that there will be more good, and this is already the bright world, and universal morality and ethics are all part of the bright world.
Evil, on the other hand, can only make people sick, make people miserable, physically, mentally, and this kind of suffering is actually the essence of entropy increase, and using them, no matter who the object is, is carrying out entropy increase behavior.
So he didn't like it, he thought it should be sealed and sent into the sun, incinerated in a stellar furnace, and transformed, even if it was just the most useless slag.
But now, he could only use it, and the reserves of other powers were not enough to pose a sufficient threat to the Devouring Behemoth.
Standing in the same place where Jeremy Goldfrey and Darth had met and talked, he raised his staff horizontally with both hands, creating an energy channel, and the evil power was like green smoke, and the devouring beast was sucked into its belly from more than a hundred meters away, and the process lasted for a full two minutes.
The corners of the cloak were hunting, and the wind formed by the absorption was so strong that it was difficult to even stand. Li Yun chanted the incantation, and then shot out a black ball of light from the moonstone of the staff, which quickly disappeared into the mouth of the giant beast. Knock! He struck the ground with the tail of his staff and reversed it, creating a diffuse energy barrier on the ground with each blow, which could cancel out some of the suction, otherwise it would be difficult to walk away.
His walking speed was not comparable to the speed of the Devouring Behemoth, but he could only walk so fast under the tremendous suction, beyond the ordinary not only the speed of the wind, but also the speed of the flow of energy between heaven and earth. While devouring, the devouring giant beast is also ingesting the energy elements in the cone-shaped area in front of it, which makes it extremely difficult to cast the spell, that is, Li Yun's physical fitness is good enough, and he has pure self-energy supply and energy cutting cover can be instantaneous, so he can struggle to survive at such a distance.
It's also a matter of helplessness, it's easy to deliver food to the Devouring Behemoth, but the 'Digestion Aid' spell has a distance limit. If you are too far away, the spell effect will collapse early, not enough to form the **** effect of some explosives.
That is, as soon as he walked diagonally out of the cone-shaped range of the devouring giant beast, the giant beast reacted. The whole body trembled, with its body shape, the effect is like a drumstick beating the drum surface, a radius of three kilometers has a strong tremor, the townspeople of Night Town were awakened by the earthquake in their own homes, many people thought that the earthquake was there, panicked and ran out of the house.
Li Yun knew that this was just the beginning, so when he got out of the frontal absorption range, he immediately applied the feathering technique to his cloak, the cloak turned into wings, and under the wrapping of energy, it became a magic light circulation, he ran and leaped, jumped on the branches, and then flapped his wings and flew up, between his body shape and the power of the spell itself, he was not flying high, that is, dozens of meters from the ground, and mostly gliding, but this was enough, he couldn't do it as a flat fly, so this low flight would be more time-saving and more efficient than running.
What is it like for the bugs to go crazy, this is probably even a child of a few years old can tell some of the conditions, writhing and curling wildly, and throwing his head around......
Li Yun caught up with the insect's head and shook it, the power of sucking was not only not weakened, but strengthened, under the effect of this power, he was like a fallen leaf in the air encountered the kind of tube vacuum cleaner that specializes in collecting fallen leaves, and he flew upside down to the insect with a breath, all the way with the top handle, what wings, it had already collapsed.
Whew! A burst of energy shot out from the tip of his necromantic wand, which wrapped around the trunk of a large tree more than ten meters in diameter like a whip, but the tree was quickly uprooted, and he quickly wrapped his hands around a large tree more than twenty meters in diameter, like a kite being released in the air, closer to the giant mouth of the devouring beast.
Fortunately, the giant beast was in pain, and its knee-jerk struggle made it shake its head, and the suction range missed this area.
Li Yun became in free fall, his cloak wings fluttered, and he flew again.
The beast's head twisted back.
The sight of kite flying reappeared.
After doing this three times, the giant beast began to roll, and finally the overall position shifted, giving him a period of about 4 minutes to escape and reach a relatively safe area.
The battle between the Fire Dwarf, the Salamander, and the Naga Mage has stopped. They all looked at the tumbling devouring beast with shocked expressions. In their cognition, except for the gods, there is nothing that can make the devouring giant beast painful like this, its digestion ability is too strong, even if the mage group sends a huge amount of energy into its mouth, instead of bombarding the god skin, it is equivalent to sending it dessert, and when the second wave of attacks hits, the energy of the first wave of attacks has been almost digested, but the devouring giant beast is not a good dog, it will not play the game of connecting the baton bones there, and the price of the mage's spell bombardment is to lose human hands every minute and every second, and be sucked into the giant mouth. Only by establishing a powerful protective array first and using positional warfare can the Devouring Behemoth be dealt with, but in this night forest, there is no open space for the mage group to be deployed.
The pain of the devouring beast can be seen by anyone, not even more than the pain, it is not that it has eaten a bad stomach, and it will pass by as soon as it is carried. But it was mortally wounded, its struggle became more and more intense, its body rose hundreds of meters high, and then it fell hard, the earth jumped and jumped, and several square kilometers of forest were destroyed by it, and then its body curled violently, and after a short while, it was weakly half stretched, and then it was completely silent. It's dead.
"Ahh
They like to follow the devouring beast's ass and prey on fire, because when the devouring beast goes, it can drive its way there and bring lava with it, and they have great respect for this terrifyingly strong, long-lived, near-invincible beast. Now, it's dead, dead in front of them, and it's like the sky is falling for them, and they can't figure out what existence can do, but that doesn't matter anymore, they just want to run away now, they're scared out.
Devouring Behemoths are demigods-like beings to the various groups of the Dark Realm. There is a saying among the intelligent populations of the Dark Regions: once the Devouring Behemoth arrives, then the final winner will be the Devouring Behemoth.
Now, with the existence of the demigods, the eternal victor is just dead. Cave Naga was also frightened. The heart said, "What kind of enemy are we fighting again! Even a demigod can be killed, and what other existence can stop his death punishment?"
The Naga mages fled quickly, and they went back to report to the Boggart. The Hushi tribe is not afraid of dying in battle, but they will not fight battles that have no hope of victory and can only be sent to death in vain. The goddess of dreams is a powerful being with divinity, so it is normal for her opponent to also be a divine being. In the face of such an enemy, the Dream Goddess should take on her own combat responsibilities, rather than expecting ordinary warriors to challenge the demigods, which is to send them to the door to be slaughtered.
While the Naga mages ran back in a panic to deliver the message, Li Yun sent the dead Devouring Behemoth to the Blood Moon Wilderness. Now this guy has become a big belly, and it won't be long before the rich evil power will overflow, and he doesn't want to be a cleaner anymore, so he still stays in the kingdom of God to do the aftermath.
At the same time, Wanda and the elite team she found were almost arriving in Nighttown.
She meets the Nightmare Warband led by General Bassher at the junction of Lion Rock and Twilight Forest. This is the earliest armed force established in the Dream Garden, which is divided into three parts: werewolves, goblins, and immortals. This time, Wanda is back with a mixed warband, including werewolves, goblins, and necromancers.
Werewolves are mainly derived from the evil fang and evil tooth tribes, their own line, called evil hearts, they are the same as the running wolf tribe, they all have partners, but the partners are not silver howling wolves, but the transformation of fallen werewolves, they are called wild wolves internally, running on all fours like wild beasts, with thick tails, developed chewing muscles, terrible bite ability, extremely sharp teeth, and poisonous.
Goblins are nothing special, they are nothing more than taking medicines, which is the norm for evil forces, using drugs to improve combat effectiveness, and even incarnating into fearless and bloodthirsty killing machines, which can be said to be an efficient use of cannon fodder.
Necromancers, who are basically obtained through arrests, human traffickers and other channels, have grown up through the brutal and bloody baptism of darkness since childhood. These mages are accustomed to climbing in the system woven by Lady Dream, and although they don't actually get much, their lives and careers are just beginning, and what Dream Garden has is enough to feed them for the time being. Especially in the affairs of men and women, most of them are extremely infatuated with Ms. Dream, and everyone feels that they are expected to become the ultimate partner of that goddess, of course, this is a scam, a big scam that is really being played. Ms. Dream is this ability, which makes her have countless male pets under her pomegranate skirt.
The several necromancers who came with Wanda this time were the best among them, and their plan was to go to the graveyard of Nightlight Town first, awaken the immortals, and then barely make it to midnight to start the war.
The blood warriors, bone warriors, and spearmen led by the leader of the ancestors, Falyon, did not find Wanda and her party. They only held the road and their surroundings. Compared to the Blood Shadow Hunters of Amagil, Farion's men are more adept at frontal and positional warfare than scouting, guerrilla warfare, and movement warfare, and because of this, his troops form a strong defensive line in the South Forest Road.
By the time Boggart's Iron Slag Army arrived near the entrance to the forest, Farion had already fought the Nightmare Warband.
The Nightmare Warband fired a few waves of crossbows first, and the goblin crossbow shooters were all crossbows made by the people of Nightlight Town, and they were extremely powerful.
However, they were defended by bone warriors with heavy tower shields, and bone spearmen who fought back.
The exchange between the two sides was so much more enraging than Bathhar, the bone spearman threw farther than the crossbow, and its weight and the power of the dead cold made it a disaster when the spear rain fell, and the chain mail worn by his crossbow archer looked like papier-mâché.
The arrows of the crossbow archers are basically blocked by the tower shield. And even if the bolt hits the Bone Soldier or the Blood Soldier, the damage it can do is very limited. Even the crossbow bolts have poison on them.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Barser quickly organized a second wave of attacks, crossbows and mages.
Although the necromancers are not good at shaping magic, they still have mastered magic bullets, the staff dances, the magic bullets rise like a tide, fall like rain, and the light is dazzling everywhere, mud and stones are flying, and the scum ****.
But even so, Farion still ordered an immediate counterattack.
The performance of the bone spearman surprised Barth again, he could throw farther, and his own resistance was also quite good, two rounds of mutual fire, more than a dozen bone spearmen were pulled down to repair, and Barshar killed and injured more than a dozen necromancers, which made him angry and distressed. Mainly because the death cold ability contained in the white bone flying spear is too terrifying, it is simply the nemesis of low-level mages, the energy shield is broken, and wherever it is inserted, it will die in a large area, and the damage of the bone spear is much more powerful than the arrows of the blood shadow hunter, and it attacks quickly.
Basshur then organized a third attack, this time with the werewolves as the main attackers, and the goblins in charge of holding shields on top of them, crossing the distance of long-range damage.
However, the spearman's bone spear can still be effective, throwing in an arc, avoiding the shield protection in front and directly attacking the rear team. The most infuriating is Farion, this guy is simply a muscular monster, the same bone spear, in his hand, the power is greater than the crossbow arrows of the heavy bed crossbow, a spear flies over, breaks the shield, and can also chain two or three people. In a narrow area like Lindau, Farion relied on throwing spears, and the shield-bearers he killed were so frightened that he had to retreat halfway and go back to prepare again.
After more than half an hour, the goblins appeared with large wooden rafts that had been improvised and felled, like a curtain, and slowly advanced.
Farion offered the method of early preparation - the super spear.
In fact, it is a battering hammer made from a whole tree, but it is blessed with the power of Farion, worshiping heaven and earth, and worshipping all things, similar to the shaman's methods, but more primitive, it looks archaic and crude, but the effect is very good.
The wooden ram blessed with strength was carried by the white bone warrior, ran up, and slammed into the wooden raft, directly shattering it, killing and knocking down more than a dozen people behind.
The werewolves took the opportunity to pounce and were greeted by an orderly round of knife flowers, and did not deliberately pursue killing, but if the werewolves chose to pounce frantically, the result would be similar to the effect of meat stuffed into a meat grinder.
While dancing neatly with the sword light, while retreating in an orderly manner, the werewolves immediately let the wild wolf launch an attack after a meal, and stuffed the knife wheel with a monster that was not afraid of death.
However, the sword-wielding bone warriors suddenly ducked into the woods on both sides of the road, and in front of the forest road, Farion led the spearman, like a cavalryman, and launched a group charge with a spear, this kind of bone spear is not a spear, they are thicker, longer, and the bone spear can run as fast as they are held, not slower than the speed of the horse, and the queue is denser.
The two sides collided together, and suddenly blood splashed, and the bone spearman actually rushed out of the collision effect that only cavalry has, and the werewolves who let dogs bite people see what. The body weight is placed there, even if there is speed, how can it have the charging effect of cavalry?
Because of the blessing of the power of the witch barbarian Farion, he stepped on the halo. Recharge the aura, and in Falyon's time, it was in this way that humanity launched a group charge against their enemies. There were no horses, and they were physically strong enough to defeat many of their enemies under the heavy onslaught of this extreme display of team strength.
A wave stabbed a person on his back, and many unexpected werewolves, Goblins, all of whom were cut to the ground with spears and later machetes, some of them cleverly hid in the woods, and jumped out to attack the stormtroopers from the side, but these stormtroopers were equipped with shields, and there were blood warriors behind them with white bone warriors to cover up, and the werewolves had to face a one-to-many dilemma, and their claws were not enough to protect the bone warriors, and it was not very easy to use the blood warriors, the key opponent was a powerful awakened spirit, and the combat skills were really good.
Of course, the most brilliant is to say that Leon, the werewolves are all pumping one with a stick, or they will be smashed into a puddle of flesh, looking extremely bloody and violent, it is precisely because of him that the core of the arrow, the combat power of the Nightmare Wargroup in the forest road was washed away, many of them escaped back by drilling into the woods, and died tragically in the hands of Farion and others, nearly 300 people. Together with those who died earlier, there are already more than 400 people.
In the face of such a loss, Basshur could no longer afford to fight hard. He made it clear that the chariots and horses were going to fight with Farion in the woods, and if you don't, I'll send men around you.
The idea is very full, and the skinny part of the reality is that the blood warriors also have the ability to be dusk to dark, and they are not afraid of single or group battles at all.
The two sides fought fiercely in the jungle, with wolves on one side and bone warriors on the other, and Farion led spearmen to charge the forest road from time to time, and the nightmare warbands were reluctant to enter the forest road easily.
From 21 o'clock to 23:30 o'clock, Basel finally used tragic casualties to find out the situation of the other party: there are not many people, but its core members are all good players at the level of samurai or above, as for the bone warriors and spearmen, they must be ignored, but there is a group of existence that cannot be ignored, very fierce and powerful undead soldiers, like to use the method of fighting for injuries, and it is very effective, and the efficiency of repair and energy recovery is very high, like those warriors, as if they are never tireless.
Another thing that makes him afraid and jealous is that the opponent habitually cleans the battlefield, and there are basically no corpses and weapons left, if it weren't for those bloodstains, knife marks, and paw prints, it would be hard to believe that there had been more than one fierce battle in those places.
Barser realizes that the other party may have a very terrifying ability to digest, which is a characteristic of an atypical undead army that grows stronger and stronger the more they fight.
Check the casualties, the loss is nearly 1,000, and the commander said that the other party has lost about 30 officers, more than 400 immortals, Basser knows that it is far from so much, he specially sent a few good hands to lead people to grab the tongue, but failed to catch a single officer of the other party, but only seriously injured it, was snatched back by the other party, and his men only took advantage of the chaos to snatch back a white bone warrior.
This bone warrior has been studied by necromancers, and is basically a golem-like creation, not a naturally generated skeleton system. But it is indeed 'grown', not assembled from machined parts, or carved as a whole. This shows that the other party has a terrifying bone talent, and can also use the terrifying death cold power, equipped with a growable wild soul, and a killing system, that is, as long as the soul is not destroyed, the more you kill, the more sober you will be. This confirms from another angle that the other party does have the characteristics of the immortal system becoming stronger and stronger the more they fight. Maybe in just a few years, one of the opponent's bone warriors can grow to the point where he needs a top player on his side to fight, and Bather can't imagine how miserable he will die in the future if he makes a feud with such an enemy.
"Rearmament, half an hour to midnight. Let's hope it will go well with Tandoro. Bassher ordered. He said to himself, "The losses are as high as one-third, and most of them have not even recovered the corpses, the Nightmare Warband is already unbearable to fight again, if a few hundred more people die in order to storm Night Town, it would be good if the rest of them did not collapse!"
