Chapter 280: Prologue to the Final Battle (3/3)

The first and second level of demonic beasts are common threats on this land, and they do not have any unique names.

But from the third level onwards, even demonic beasts will possess the same wisdom as humans or even far beyond ordinary people—they will also begin to learn what cultivation is, understand how to hone their skills, how to devour those demonic beasts that are beneficial to them, and absorb the power they need to advance.

The demonic beasts of this energy level are called the great demonic beasts, the beast kings and the ceremonial priests, and they will have their own names, nests, and even their own legends.

The fourth-level demonic beasts are enough to be called 'Titans', which means those giants and behemoths that once ruled the world in the distant past.

In a sense, these giant beasts have begun to approach the realm of demigods.

As a brain-eater with a psychic network interconnected, whether it is Master Gosai, Isengard, or Ian, they all know very well that this parasitic monster has the potential of the third energy level, and it is very likely that it can advance to the fourth energy level.

Especially for Ethan, the Light Eclipse Dragon is also a similar fourth-level bloodline inheritance, and the Brain Eater Worm can even bring complements to the Light Eclipse Dragon Refining, which is enough to prove its potential.

If we don't stop it now, what kind of monster will the brain-eating insect cluster become after entering the outer ecosystem is something that is not clear.

After prevaricating Master Gosai with riddles, the alchemy pedestal was also modified, and the boy hung the barrel and alchemy pedestal about the same height as himself behind him, looking like a giant sword swordsman who was going to hunt dragons.

It's just that the dragon hunter swordsman is carrying the door panel giant sword, and he is carrying the alchemy cannon barrel - but it's not a big problem, the new era of dragon slaying should have changed the weapon mode a long time ago!

Ian noticed that Isengard's gaze had been locked on top of his head, so he asked curiously, "What, do I have anything on my head?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that there was indeed something on his head—that primordial fairy frost butterfly was still there.

Because it is a creature made of ice crystals and psionic energy, it has no weight at all, and it is difficult to detect its existence.

"Is it going to follow you like this?"

Isengard's tone was a little subtle, as if he was talking about his own experience back then: "But this primordial goblin, once it leaves its familiar environment, will quickly die out......"

"I don't know, maybe they think I'm a big goblin."

Ian shook his head, he didn't quite know why the other party would follow him.

Goblins are a very peculiar race, they are natural elves, and there is no relationship between parents and relatives, the little goblins will naturally follow the big goblins, just like a breeze will blow in the direction of the wind.

If I have to say, the goblin is actually a reincarnated species that constantly reincarnates itself and dies out by itself, and the spirit core after death is processed by the core of the goblin gathering place such as the 'Goblin Village', giving birth to new goblins.

But the primordial goblin has no spirit core, and it can be called a complete life without self-will, but only a living snowflake, a light breeze that can laugh.

However, the primordial goblin who chose to follow Ian already has 'tendencies and preferences', in a sense, it should be the kind that has begun to evolve towards the real goblin, and Ian feels that with the overflowing water essentia on his body, it is enough for the other party to live.

- When I went out this time, I really picked up a lot of 'small' guys.

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but look at the shark shark who was turning his belly and backstroke to promote digestion, if the shark didn't move, it would definitely make people think that he had eaten something bad and burped.

His mood was as delicate as Isengard's: "I know what the ironclad shark eats, but what do goblins eat?" It's okay to live, but the elves should have to eat too, right? ”

Since Master Gosak is going to act with Ian, Isengard must follow with him - Patrick's colonization still needs his blood to solve it.

In this regard, Qingchao also said that he wanted to follow Ian's action, but was refused.

"You can't."

Looking at the seaborn swordsman who had voluntarily pledged his allegiance to him, Ian nodded, but his mouth refused: "Aside from Master Gosai and me, you are the strongest in the team—so you have to lead them to survive." ”

"The map is here, I've marked the location and route, and when the time is about right, the gate will open."

The pirate captain who followed Ian wanted to show that he was not bad and could lead everyone to survive...... But as a prisoner of the young man, and knowing too many secrets, he knew very well that he basically could not have the opportunity to act alone, so he could only shake his head in despair.

As for the 'time' that Ian refers to, to put it bluntly, he remotely controls the central control room of the base to open the door, and through the silver chip, he can observe the progress of the team at any time.

“…… I understand. ”

Although regretful, Qingchao did not contradict Ian's decision.

He nodded seriously: "After sending them out, if you haven't waited for you, sir, I will come back to answer you later." ”

The boy was a little helpless, if the shark shark and the frost butterfly were the little ones that were picked up, then this one was the big guy who picked them up.

He was actually a little worried about how to pay the other party's salary.

Qingchao is young and has potential, if you want to earn two or three hundred thalers, you can earn it in about a month by doing one or two tasks.

Just like this big task, the basic salary given by the Platinum Iridium Workshop is 380 thalers, and all kinds of bonuses, performance and subsidies are not counted.

Of course, this mission is not normal, it is twice the premium, and the time period is relatively long, on average, a first-level high-level swordsman, as long as he is not seriously injured when he goes out on a mission, he can still earn more than 1,000 or 2,000 thalers all year round.

Just counting the consumption of weapons, the replenishment of essentia food, and the dangers that may be encountered, it is not particularly profitable.

Ian shook his head, no more thoughts.

It's not a bad thing that this has come to this.

Qingshio led the team and walked towards the 'exit of the labyrinth' according to the route map that Ian had laid out for them.

Although the road is tortuous, there will be no monster lair, and there will be no water area where there are parasites, and in general, it is a fairly safe route.

Ian, Isengard, Master Gosai, Andor, and Shark are the ones who stay behind to clear the braineater hive.

Ian led the group towards the upper reaches of the river, and the water vapor became heavier and heavier as it went up, even to the point that there was a white fog all around.

But unlike the path that Esengard and the others found themselves, the side of the river where Ian took it had very obvious man-made traces, with stone fences and blind paths, should have been a scenic road for Sequoia Base employees thousands of years ago.

"The strength of the hive is not discussed for the time being, but there are definitely a large number of parasitic demonic beasts gathered there."

Curious about the reason why these railings and roads have been immortal for thousands of years, Master Gosai looked down and stroked them, only to find that the surface of these man-made structures had a thin hard film that insulated them from all external influences.

Straightening up, he continued to say to Ian: "Ordinary demonic beasts, no matter how many there are, we can deal with them, but then there will definitely be no chance to destroy the hive itself." ”

"Say, you must have a plan."

"It's simple, the people of Flamelands will lead the way." Ian was sure, he had obviously thought about the next battle process: "The hive is located at the cooling interval, absorb the heat source there as the energy for their own growth, and the people of the Flying Flame Land will soon be attacked by the hive mobilization monster when they reach the vicinity. ”

"Their strength is not weak, especially the captain and the nuns of the Spirit Machinery Church give me a feeling of extreme danger, they must have hole cards, and they will not be easily taken down by the hive."

"At the very least, it should be able to hold back most of the parasitic beasts and attract firepower for us."

Meanwhile.

A violent explosion rang out at the bottom of the ruins, causing everyone to raise their heads.

"It looks like the battle has begun." Ian smiled slightly, then walked forward first, "Hopefully they can last a little longer." ”

"It's time to go, guys."
