Chapter 206: Earthquake (10,000 Words Big Chapter Subscription Request)

"[Swift Preparation], [Light Extinguishing], [Secondary Spider Form], [Spider Form], [High Spider Form], [Arachnid Spirit Form], [Mana Recoil], [Veil of Shadows], [Double Shadow], [Devouring Terror]...... The dark elves, who have lived in the dark regions for more than 10,000 years, have created some quite interesting magic. ”

After Zuo Si probably finished flipping through the two spell books, a playful expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Among these spells, Swift Preparation allows the recipient to obtain a small amount of information about the enemy, fully preparing for the upcoming battle.

[Light Extinguishing] extinguishes any non-magical light sources, creating the most favorable combat environment for Drow who likes to launch sneak attacks in the dark.

Each of the three spider forms transforms the caster into a medium, large, and giant Infernal Spider, all of which are well suited to the complex Underground World, just like the Arachnid Elf.

[Mana Recoil] can inflict backlash damage on enemies who are casting spells in an instant, and the higher the level of the spell released, the greater the damage.

Veil of Shadows allows Drow, who is afraid of bright light, to envelop himself in a cloud of darkness, which protects him from blindness and weakness caused by bright light, and also provides some concealment.

[Double Shadow] is to create a hazy phantom similar to yourself to attack the enemy. If the other party believes it, then the spell will cause corresponding psychic damage, and may even lead to mental death.

[Horror Devour] is basically the equivalent of creating a gelatinous monster to devour the target, causing it to die from suffocation or strong acid corrosion.

Probably because of its dark skin and strong magic resistance, the original spells created by the dark elves are generally biased towards the change system, the spell system, the prophecy system and the illusion system, and there is basically no one in the enchantment system and the plastic energy system.

In particular, [Mana Recoil] does not require any spells at all, and can be cast on enemies who are casting spells with just one gesture.

In the case of a high-ring spell, the counter-devouring damage may even interrupt focus, causing the enemy to fail to cast the spell.

It's simply the most practical kind of magic in spell duels.

And it only takes a two-ring spell to memorize.

"How, are these two spell books worth anything?" The dwarf Ruger asked with interest.

Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "Of course." If nothing else, they can all sell for more than 10,000 gold coins. However, I recommend that you take it to the Tower of Order for the weekly auction. There are a few dark elf spells that are unique to them, and they should be of interest to high-level mages who will pay a lot of money to buy them. ”

"Hey, hey! I know that. Those high-level mages don't care how much they need to spend in order to get what they are interested in. The dwarf grinned treacherously.

"How much money have we made from this adventure so far?"

The poet Kers followed at some point, his eyes glowing as green as a wolf.

"If the equipment of those dark elves doesn't depreciate, it will almost cost more than 100,000 gold coins."

The dwarves roughly counted the loot they had caught along the way, and quickly came up with a relatively conservative number. …

No way.

After all, loot is such a thing, and it is difficult to make an accurate valuation before actually selling.

This is because the buyer is likely to offer a much higher price than the original price of the item for their own reasons, or deliberately suppress the price, resulting in the adventurer having to sell it at half price.

"Hundreds of thousands? Damn it! So we're going to make a fortune this time! ”

Kers excitedly performed the classic "fly rubbing his hands" gesture, as if he had seen himself holding a large sum of money and seducing all the married ladies he had been eyeing before.

As the well-known scholar of Ferren sarcastically put it, many bards were a group of "cattle" who thought with their lower bodies.

Among them, the men are either showing their "majesty" in bed or are on their way to the next bed.

Women are either seducing a target of their interest or looking for a prey.

Seeing that Kers looked like the mud couldn't support the wall, the dwarf immediately rolled his eyes: "Don't think it's too beautiful. More than half of this money belongs to South. Because he has contributed the most to the adventure and has saved the team from danger on more than one occasion, it is only natural that he will take the lion's share. As for you...... Last time, you still owed more than 5,000 gold coins in foreign debts plus interest, which you didn't pay off. ”

"Ahh I forgot if you didn't mention it! Oh, my God! Wouldn't I have no money at all? ”

The poet's mood instantly fell from heaven to hell.

Although he was already a high-level adventurer, due to his hobbies and chaotic private life, he had always lived on foreign debts, and the monthly interest rate was as high as more than 30%.

In other words, in a place like Ferron, as long as it is a loan, it is 100% usury.

Unless business is struggling or life really can't go on, no one wants to be saddled with such a heavy debt.

"Camilla the pit viper, if you can't pay it back in three weeks, send someone to get you to sell your ass in her shop. It is said that some wealthy merchants in Waterdeep City with special hobbies are already eager to try it. So I suggest that you don't think about paying or running away, otherwise the consequences will be very, very serious. The halfling Cora pretended to be kind and reminded.

"Okay, okay, can't I pay off the debt as soon as I get the share?"

Kers was obviously frightened, and couldn't help but hold his ass and shiver.

Seeing his appearance, the two "bad friends" of the dwarf and the halfling immediately burst out laughing, and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

But soon, Zuo Si pulled the topic back and asked directly: "How much do you know about the situation on the eleventh layer?" ”

"Eleventh floor?"

Ruger touched the thick beard on his chin and thought for a moment, and quickly replied, "I just heard Dunan mention that the eleventh floor of the ground maze is mainly entrenched in a large number of lizardmen.

There are also dark elves who try to capture them as slaves and cannon fodder.

The latter is most likely the Evan family that he met earlier.

On top of that, there are trolls that feed on lizards and a blue-footed dragon snake.

That was years ago, though, and no one knows if anything has changed now. ”…

As we all know, the monster passages in the Leyline Maze are not set in stone.

Quite the opposite!

Whether it's the mad mage Hylaster Blackrobe, his apprentices, or the intruders from the Shadows, they all cause drastic changes in all levels every once in a while.

This also means that all the intelligence and information about the Leyline Maze is often time-sensitive.

Any information more than a year or two ago can only be barely used as a reference.

If you really prepare according to the above description, eighty percent don't even know how to die.

In addition, starting from the eighth and ninth basement floors, portals and teleporters leading to other levels will be hidden in some inconspicuous corners.

If accidentally touched, a large living person will be transported from one familiar level to another completely unfamiliar level in minutes.

Due to the prohibition of prophecy magic, the teleported person has no way to reach their current location and depth.

"It doesn't sound too dangerous. Why don't we take a break and get out of here as soon as possible to get this floor done in four hours. Zuo Si suggested as he glanced at the passage leading to the eleventh floor.

The dwarf hurriedly nodded: "No problem! Listen to you. ”

You don't need to ask, because of his outstanding performance and keen judgment along the way, Zuo Si has completely won the trust of his teammates 100%.

Whenever he put forward an opinion, Ruger would immediately adopt it without saying a word.

In this way, the team rested near the entrance for about half an hour.

When his strength was almost restored, he stood up and went to the next floor.

As expected, they had not gone far into the eleventh floor when they found an outpost built by the Dark Elves, which housed about two dozen captured lizardmen.

On the gate of the outpost, the coat of arms symbolizing the Evander family hangs.

Without any hesitation!

Zuo Si directly used the old technique to repeat it, and first used the [Deep Darkness Technique] to completely plunge the outpost into darkness.

This was followed by the use of a stone blessed with silence, causing the entire area to fall silent.

In the end, the Shadow Legion attacked, killing all the dark elves and battle lizards inside.

Because neither of these two races is a good thing.

The so-called battle lizard is actually a lizard that is about 1.5 to 1.6 meters tall, intelligent, and walks upright.

As the name suggests, they are a bunch of savage, brutal, and reckless creatures by nature, who will feed on all creatures, including their own kind.

So Zuo Si has no psychological burden to kill.

When the battle was over, the attentive halfling Kora found some gem-encrusted insignia, rings, and ceremonial daggers from the corpse.

It is estimated that it is worth more than 2,000 gold coins.

In addition to this, there were four or five chests containing weapons, equipment, crossbow arrows, and bottled poisons that had not yet been distributed, as well as special military rations made by the Dark Elves.

You don't have to ask to know that these things are supplies for those patrols and hunting parties.

Just when the poet was a little curious and picked up a piece of military dry food to taste it, Zuo Si immediately warned: "If I were you, I wouldn't touch any Drow food. Because food is scarce, they occasionally put some intelligent beings into their recipes. ”…

"What? What do you mean...... Could there be human flesh in these things? Kears' eyes widened in disbelief.

"That's right! It is said that some of the dark elves are extreme pragmatists. The food in the dark region is scarce, and if you want to survive here, you must learn to be ruthless and cruel. They don't care about ethics and morality, as long as it is nutritious and delicious, then they will not hesitate to eat it. ”

Zuo Si stared at the cake-like dry food made of shredded meat, mushroom powder, and a small amount of moss, and said meaningfully.

With the help of the Eye of Knowledge, he could discern the fibers in the shredded flesh with little effort, and a large percentage of them should belong to humanoids.

Maybe it's a goblin, maybe it's a gray dwarf, maybe it's an orc, or maybe it's a fishman.

Even the mushroom powder, if not, is made from the corpse of the mushroom man.

The latter is a plant intelligent life similar to a large mushroom, which has a very wide distribution in dark areas.

"Damn! Thankfully, I didn't put it in my mouth. ”

The poet cursed in a low voice, and immediately threw the dry food in his hand to the ground.

After scavenging the outpost of all its valuables, the team continued its way through the darkness through the intricate tunnels.

Because Zuo Si completely released the Phantom Legion, he slaughtered wantonly within the range of mana and life energy that he could extract.

So there were few encounters along the way.

Most of the enemies were killed by countless shadows before they could even notice the adventure party approaching.

Even if the caster succeeds in blessing himself with a protective spell that can resist the attacks of the Void Creature, the Shadow Assassin Yelinia will personally stab the opponent with a sharp dagger containing poison into the neck or back of the heart.

Under this snowballing expansion, the number of the Shadow Legion has reached an astonishing more than fifteen thousand.

Unless you are hit by high-level positive energy magic, you will die in large numbers, otherwise it will continue to increase.

With the mana he had harvested, Zuo Si continued to craft those newly learned spells into magic cards.

He was even ready to use the [Enlightenment Undead] recorded in the Book of the Dead to grant some high-level phantom wisdom as soon as he mastered the magic of the Seven Rings, so that they could become more powerful through learning and training.

After searching the intricate labyrinth for a long time, the team finally found the most powerful monster on the eleventh floor, a blue-footed dragon snake that had been encountered in the Karlin Desert, in an area full of broken bones in the southwest corner.

After the two sides met, they didn't even say a word of nonsense and started a head-on battle.

Zuo Si directly gave the order to attack, allowing the huge lava element to take the lead in the charge.

Feeling the heat wave coming to his face, the blue-footed dragon snake didn't dare to slack off at all, and immediately opened its mouth to spew out a lightning breath that was very close to the blue dragon.

Syllable!

With a blinding white electric light, a large hole appeared in the lava elemental's body.

Unfortunately, this damage is clearly not enough to destroy it, or even hinder the charge speed in the slightest.

Realizing that it would be difficult for his attack to kill such a huge elemental creature at once, the Blue-Footed Dragon Serpent immediately activated the arcane mark left on his body by the mad mage. …

I saw that one of the scales suddenly shone with a blinding arcane aura.

Next Second......

Its massive body was gone.

[Invisibility]!

Obviously, this was not the spell-like ability that the Blue-Footed Dragon Serpent should have, but the scar-like mark that gave it.

However, with the weight of a blue-footed dragon, it is obviously impossible to move silently in a broken environment like a thief.

As it began to flee to the side, there was a cachachachacha sound, accompanied by the sight of bones being crushed and scattered.

So, the lava element immediately reversed course and chased after it.

Almost at the same time, Zuo Si and the poet began to chant almost identical incantations.

Just a few seconds later, a large cloud of oil flew out of their fingertips, directly at the feet of the blue-footed dragon snake that remained invisible.

Due to the sudden decrease in friction, the behemoth immediately hit it and fell down.

The giant lava element took the opportunity to pounce directly on Tarzan to the top.

Rumble!

!

!

!

Surrounded by the hot magma scattered in all directions, the blue-footed dragon snake suddenly let out a painful scream, frantically using lightning breath and sharp tooth bite to fight back, while releasing energy rays like [Colorful Spray].

You don't have to ask, all of these spell-like abilities come from the mark carved into the scales.

In order to prevent the overheated magma from burning out the imprinted scales, Zuo Si quickly stopped the lava elemental from attacking, and followed the [Spell Drop] that lost the ability of one of the elects.

On the spot, this monster whose intelligence attribute was not very high turned into a fool with only a little left.

At this moment, the blue-footed dragon snake is not to mention continuing to fight, I am afraid that even self-awareness and cognition of the things around it have disappeared, and it just remains standing in place and does not move.

"The First Evolution"

Seeing this scene, Zuo Si skillfully took out a blank card and sealed it.

At this point, the road to the twelfth floor was finally opened.

In the pit behind the lair of the Blue-footed Dragon Serpent, the party also found a pile of gold and silver coins and gems that appeared to be minted in the Dark Regions.

In addition to that, there are a number of magical items and gadgets.

For example, a scorpion brooch made by a gray dwarf can be used to quench the wearer's weapon once a day;

An ancient elf-style music box, as long as you gently pat the green gems inlaid on the box, it will play different music;

Finally, there is a steel helmet that emits a terrifying red glow from the eyes when worn.

Of course, this helmet has any other magical powers attached to it, and is simply used to scare people and make the wearer look like some kind of lower plane creature or undead.

"Hahahaha! That's why I love adventure. There's nothing more satisfying than having dealt with a powerful monster and then finding the treasure it has collected. Look at these shiny coins, which are worth about seven or eight thousand gold coins in total. Those gems, music boxes, and magic items can also sell for a lot of money. The dwarf laughed happily.

"I couldn't agree more......"

Zuo Si stared at the creature card he had just made in his hand, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. …

Because these three temporary teammates didn't know that the most valuable thing of this trip to the Leyline Maze had already been taken into his pocket.

Compared to these creature cards and a lot of mana, that amount of money, gems, and magic items was nothing at all.

Take the Blue-Footed Dragon Serpent as an example, the arcane mark on its scales is supposed to be the arcane mark left by the mad mage, giving this guy the ability to cast [Invisibility], [Colorful Spray] and [Sleep] with just one thought.

Even though they seem to be low-level spells, the magical knowledge and techniques contained in them are definitely worth the time to study.

Once the research is successful, then Zuosi will be able to add some additional spell-like abilities to all the minions, even himself and Vermes, that can be cast with a single thought without spells or gestures.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Leyline Maze was so dangerous, and so many adventurers were willing to come down and explore it every year.

Without him!

It's just that the benefits are too lucrative.

Warrior classes can find coveted magical equipment and untold wealth, and spellcasters, especially mages and warlocks, can gain a wide variety of magical knowledge.

Since the enemies and monsters on this level were mostly killed, the team quickly cleared a clearing in the lair of the blue-footed dragon snake.

After a simple cleaning of his hands and face, Zuo Si directly released the Six-Ring Divine Technique [Hero's Banquet], creating a long table filled with all kinds of delicious food and drinks out of thin air, as well as more than a dozen chairs.

Obviously, with his current spell casting level, a single summon can feed more than a dozen people.

Looking at the never-before-seen delicacy on the table, which exuded uncontrollable drooling, the dwarf immediately licked his lips and sighed, "No matter how many times you see it, this magic is so shocking. ”

"Yes! But is it really okay to use high-level magic at will to satisfy your appetite like this? I've heard that other pastors tend to be very cautious when using magic for fear of upsetting the gods they serve. Halfling Kora asked in a tone of uncertainty.

"It doesn't matter. The goddess who gave me magic is very generous, and she won't mind these little things. ”

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and was the first to sit down, tear off the grilled chicken thighs, and ate them with relish.

After all, compared to the divine power and various powerful electorate abilities given by Talona, a mere six-ring divine magic hero banquet is estimated to be nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

What's more, he had already found Ogma, the god of knowledge, as the "next home", so he didn't panic at all.

Compared with those ordinary pastors who serve the gods with trepidation, Zuo Si is undoubtedly an outlier among the other, and he has no fear of God.

"Is it really the darling of the gods? Your life is really enviable. ”

The poet muttered something quietly, and sat down to enjoy the food and wine.

As for the rude dwarf, he had already emptied a plate in a moment, and was pouring the finest wine into his mouth with a flask.

It wasn't until a pot of wine was all in his stomach that he wiped the wine stains on his lips and beard, and said with a satisfied face: "It's really enjoyable!" It is estimated that no one will believe that this kind of luxurious banquet can be eaten in the Leyline Maze. ”…

"Of course! The Hero's Banquet is a six-ring magic technique. The presiding priests of some small local temples are not expected to reach this priesthood level. What's more, even if he reached it, he would not be willing to use the precious six-ring magic slot to memorize a spell dedicated to eating and drinking. Halfling Kora explained, sucking on greasy fingers.

Just as the dwarf was about to say something, the ground under his feet suddenly shook slightly for some reason.

Immediately after that, the entire leyline maze began to shake violently, as if there had been an earthquake.

Boom Boom!

The crowd, who was only halfway through the meal, was directly thrown around.

The long table was overturned in an instant under the violent shock, and food and wine were scattered on the floor.

"Damn! What's going on? The poet asked aloud, with some horror.

"I think there are only two possibilities. One is that there is a massive collapse underneath, and the other is that the madman in Helast Black Robe is making extensive adjustments to the structure of the Leyline Maze. The dwarf gritted his teeth and uttered his guess.

Because it's not the first time something like this has happened.

For adventurers, apart from all kinds of traps and monsters, the mad mage himself is the most dangerous thing in the leyline maze.

After all, this huge mystery-like area formed by the nodes of the magic network was built by him.

Therefore, the latter can often expel a person or a team directly with a single thought, or teleport to any corner of the dungeon.

In addition, Helast Black Robe can also transform any one or several levels of the structure according to his own wishes.

Since he was a complete lunatic, he didn't think about the safety of the creatures and adventurers inside.

Zuo Si, who has the ability to "volley in the air", has already stood in the air about one meter high with his feet off the ground, and is very cautious in assessing the possible impact of violent tremors.

But before he could see anything, the ground near the eleventh floor leading to the twelfth floor suddenly reversed.

The dwarf, the halfling, the poet, and Davidian all accidentally fell into the hole of the black hole, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"Gan!"

Zuo Si hurriedly canceled the volley, and quickly rushed in to chase his teammates and summoned creatures.

He wasn't sure if the poet had memorized the [Feather Falling Technique] today.

If you don't remember it, and you can't catch up in time, then the four people who fell down may fall to their deaths.

It was in free fall for several minutes, and you could even hear the whistling air currents and the roars of the monsters as they passed through certain levels.

Zuo Si finally saw the four people who had just successfully performed the [Feather Fall Technique] and landed on the ground.

He himself hurriedly took out a card and performed the [Feather Falling Technique] on himself, falling down like a feather.

I have to say that when falling from a height, using [Feather Fall] is quite a test of the caster's psychological quality.

Because the trick of this spell is that it must not be cast too early or too late.

If it is too early, if the height from the ground is still too high after the spell ends, there is still a risk of falling to death on the spot or being seriously injured or disabled. …

It is a well-known fact that people are very fast when they are falling.

It's almost a hundred meters, and it's gone in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, if it is too late, one will accidentally miss the best time to use the [Feather Fall Technique] and smash directly on the ground and turn into a pool of flesh and blood mold lake mixture.

Normally, it is used when it is about 20 meters above the ground, and it just falls down steadily.

Fortunately, the poet, who usually looks unreliable, finally played exceptionally at the critical moment and saved his teammates.

His face was pale at the moment, lying on the ground and vomiting, obviously a stress reaction caused by too much nervousness.

Of course, the others are not much stronger.

The dwarf's legs were shaking uncontrollably, barely holding on to his feet until he was clinging to the wall.

The halfling woman Kora lay on her back on the ground, swallowing her saliva vigorously, her eyes revealing a deep fear from the depths of her heart.

Only the fearless dragonborn knight Davidian adjusted his state for the first time, walked straight to Zuo Si's side and asked, "Master, where are we now?" ”

"I don't know. According to the time of the free fall just now, it is at least ten kilometers away from the eleventh floor, which should be the deeper level of the leyline maze. And I'm starting to feel the amazing energy emanating from the Magic Web nodes. Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and replied.

Yes!

After wandering through this vast underground labyrinth for several days, he finally reached the level where the Demon Net node was located.

Due to their close proximity, the sparks can even draw amazing magical energy from the air around them.

Predictably, if this land is successfully crafted, it will provide more mana than any of the previous ones.

"In other words, this layer is the end of this adventure......"

Davidian subconsciously glanced at the crystallized walls, ceiling, and floor in front of him, as well as the bright, colorful magical light.

Unlike any of the previous levels, it is not dark to see, and a large number of valuable crystals can be found everywhere, almost like a labyrinth converted from a crystal vein.

And at the entrance stands a three-meter-tall crystal-made structure, emitting a bright and dazzling light from all over its body, and it looks a bit like a Gisyankee warrior.

"Be careful! I think the main enemies in this layer are most likely the Giss Yankees and their nemesis. Zuo Si reminded in a low voice.

He didn't really care about the crystal golem guarding the entrance.

This is because this inferior construct has nothing to offer at all anything other than emitting a powerful flash of light that temporarily blinds the enemy.

The crystals that make up its body are also quite poorly hard, and it only takes a few clicks for a Adamantite weapon to shatter it and turn it into a pile of worthless shards.

"Understood!"

Davidian had already learned how to deal with the golem, and when his master blessed him with a large number of enhancement spells, as well as the [Veil of Shadows] that could prevent blindness caused by strong light, he immediately rushed forward and launched the first attack.

This time, instead of using his standard +2 Flaming Sword, he took out the Magic Adamantite Warhammer that he had previously used to knock on the Lich's life box. …

Bang!

With a muffled thud, the Dragonborn Knight, who had finished his charge, leaped high and slammed his hammer into the Crystal Golem's head.

Crash!

The latter's head shattered on the spot, most of it turned into crystal shards and scattered in all directions, and the remaining half of his face was densely packed with spider-like cracks.

Obviously, with his strong muscles and amazing power attributes brought by magic, Davidian is like a human tyrannosaurus rex, which is not at all something that a single crystal golem can resist.

Although the latter released a strong flash of light as soon as it was attacked, its huge body was like a super giant strong light bulb, stabbing people from opening their eyes.

Unfortunately, the Veil of Shadows developed by the Drow Elves was more than able to offset it.

As a result, one person and one golem fought fiercely at zero distance for half a minute, and the crystal golem finally lost its ability to move completely, and fell to the ground and turned into a pool of worthless broken crystals.

Zuo Si unceremoniously absorbed the mana contained in it, turned around and asked the other three temporary teammates, "How is it, are you feeling better now?" ”

"W-no! I don't feel good at all. ”

The poet's stress reaction does not seem to have passed, and as soon as he speaks, he immediately begins to feel nauseous.

The situation is similar for the dwarves, who have no strength on their legs.

The thief Chora seemed to have lost her sense of the outside world and did not respond at all.

"Okay, then you guys just rest here for a while, and Davidian and I will go explore first."

With that, Zuo Si stepped directly over the remains of the crystal golem and entered the colorful hall behind him.

Since all the crystals are glowing, and the color of the light changes every once in a while.

Therefore, the first thing that needs to be confronted with this level of exploration is the staggering light pollution.

Zuo Si rummaged in the satchel for a few seconds, then took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.

This thing was originally prepared to deal with the intense direct sunlight in the desert when it crossed the Great Karlin Desert.

I didn't expect it to come in handy again now.

When you enter the lobby, the first thing that catches your eye is the tunnels that extend in all directions.

After a brief reconnaissance, four passages lead to the potholes on the left and right.

On the left side of the list, there is a training ground or something, and there are several targets in the shape of the Mind Flayer.

If nothing else, this is supposed to be where the Giss Yankees trained.

No creature in the entire universe hates the Mind Flayer more than these creatures, and hunts it down in every way.

On the right, by contrast, it's much more lively, with four Gisyankee fighters working in pairs, punching each other to pass the time.

"Up! Kill them! ”

Zuo Si bluntly gave the attack order to the dragonborn knight beside him.

In his opinion, the Giss Yankees, the astral bandits, were essentially no different from the dark elves, the kind of madmen who wanted to conquer and enslave other races, including humans, and completely forgot their tragic experience of being enslaved by the Mind Flayer.

For these guys who have turned from dragon slayers to evil dragons, it is not wrong to see one kill the other.

"As you wish!" …

Davion didn't give any nonsense, and after changing his weapon to a flaming sword, he immediately launched a charge, appearing in front of the four Gisyankees at lightning speed.

Before the other party could react, a sword was a child.

In the blink of an eye, the four unlucky ones all fell dead in a pool of blood.

Two of them were beheaded with a sword, and the other two were stabbed through the heart.

One of them also tried to raise his arm with an arm guard to block, only to have his entire arm chopped off, and dark red blood splattered in all directions.

Because of the speed of the killing, they didn't even have time to make any sounds or alarms.

Next to this huge crater, Zuosi saw a carving of a Giss Yankee riding a red dragon.

You don't have to ask to know that this artwork is intended to represent the most famous Red Dragon Knight in the Gisyankee Empire.

It is said that their queen had made some unknown deal with Tiamat, the god of dragons, so the Gisyankees could recruit the relatively young red dragons into their army.

In this cooperation, the relationship between the rider and the dragon is equal.

The young red dragon can also use this to hone his fighting ability, and by the way, he will follow the Gisyankees to loot and harvest a lot of treasure.

But as the dragon gets older enough to leave, it chooses to leave on its own.

After all, the red dragon is a natural tyrant, and it is impossible for him to serve someone or a certain force for a long time.

Just when Zuo Si was about to look around to see if there were any hidden grids, secret doors or anything like that, Davidian, who had already walked into the front room, suddenly exclaimed, "Master! Look! There are twelve Mind Flayer skulls here! ”

"What?"

Zuo Si was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly walked over to check.

As the Dragonborn Knight described, the twelve Mind Flayer skulls lined up on a table made of crystal.

Through simple identification, he immediately found that these skulls were all necromantic magic items without exception, and they were a complete set of them.

If someone shatters one of them, the remaining skulls that have not yet been destroyed will let out a psychic scream, inflicting horrific and widespread psychic damage.

"Interesting...... Is this the work of the Gisyankee spellcaster? Zuo Si showed an interested expression.

Because this is not an ordinary skull at all, but the soul of the Mind Flayer after being killed is imprisoned inside.

The principle is also very simple!

Connect all the Mind Flayer souls together through the power of magic.

In this way, when one of them is shattered, its soul will suffer unimaginable pain.

The pain is shared with the soul connection, and all the other Mind Flayers will feel the indescribable pain of the soul, thus stimulating the remaining psychic power in their own souls to produce a piercing scream.

Such a frenzied approach is estimated to be only done by the Giss Yankees, who hate the Mind Snatcher.

Because even after death, they want to be able to make their rivals taste the ultimate pain.

Carefully packing the skulls into the satchel he carried with him, Zuo Si continued to explore with Davidian. …

After passing a large crystal stalactite, he saw a large silver mist hanging over the crater.

Through the partition wall, you can vaguely hear someone talking in dragon language not far away.

"Listen to me, Daisla, give up. No matter how many Mind Flayers you kill, that cunning guy won't give you what you want. ”

"But Ashland Sachs, what if we don't even try and someone else preempts us?"

"Hah! Whoever wants to be a fool let them go. Believe me, Achaia will not give those precious books to anyone at all. I think she wants to read it herself to reap the benefits. ”

"Really? So why did she make a promise? ”

"Humph! It's not about tricking a knight as naΓ―ve as you into fighting the Mind Flayer. You know? Several more young fighters did not make it back alive last week. If nothing else, they've either been implanted with tadpoles by the Mind Flayer by now, or their brains have been eaten clean. ”

……

Since Zuo Si and Davidian could both understand the dragon language, they both showed very surprised expressions after listening to these conversations.

They knew very well that one of the two people they were talking to was definitely a young red dragon.

And the other is a knight of the Giss Yankees.

"Master, do you want to do it?" Davidian lowered his voice and asked cautiously.

Zuo Si touched his chin and hesitated for a moment, then quickly curled his mouth

A chilling smile appeared: "Of course! While I'm not interested in making a card from a red dragon that's too young, it's just the right thing to use to level up your Dragonborn's bloodline. ”

"Understood."

Davidian quickly put away the flaming sword and pulled out the magic adamantite warhammer again.

Against the Red Dragon, flame enchanted weapons obviously didn't work at all.

On the contrary, it is more powerful than a pure hardness of the Adamantite Warhammer.

Zuo Si used an invisibility wand to bless himself and the dragonborn knight with invisibility, and touched it lightly.

After a few moments, they saw a female Giss Yankee at the edge of the pit straddling the back of a young red dragon.

Judging by the sound made by the latter speaking, it is estimated that she is also a female.

Because Zuo Si has the blessing of [True Knowledge], he can always see Davidian's location.

After the other party arrived at the intended location, he immediately activated the four magic cards - [Ice Storm] without hesitation.

It is a lethal spell that can cover a radius of twelve meters.

It can deal a staggering amount of extra damage against fire-type red dragons.

The moment the card is activated, countless piercing hailstones and icicles rain down from the sky.

Before the red dragon and her knight could react to what had happened, they were slammed in the face.

The female Giss Yankees, who were not tenacious enough, were smashed into serious injuries in an instant, and were directly frozen in place by the biting cold and lost their mobility.

The red dragon, who was also not lightly injured, quickly raised his head and let out a fiery breath in an attempt to save his knight.

Unfortunately, the Young Dragon's breath may be effective against one or two [Ice Storms], but against four is clearly beyond the scope of ability.

Although the hot breath also managed to evaporate some hail and ice picks.

But when the breath was over, the hail and icicles rained down like drops again.

The water vapor formed by the previous evaporation quickly condenses into ultra-low temperature ice slag in the air under the action of a new round of cold air.

The red dragon just took a breath of such air, and immediately began to cough violently, and the blood slowly flowed out along the nostrils and mouth, obviously frostbitten lungs. . .
