Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Land of Radiation

Ignoring the goblins, Heras jumped straight out of the airship, where his feet touched the oil swamp, the frost spread, and the boiling oil swamp instantly solidified, this is just a first-level spell: 'Cryomy', but the effect is much stronger if it is cast by a fourth-level mage, because this is a place of strife, Heras is unwilling to fall into the spellcasting buffer casually, so when he is not in a combat state, he will try to use low-level magic, with his spiritual power at the peak of the fourth level, the buffer time of the first-level spell is negligible for him.

Ulukan stared at this human vigilantly, he now has a bit of a psychological shadow on the human race, in fact, the sludge giants are a very lazy race, too lazy to just want to roll in the mire, although the size is huge, but their combat ** is actually very low, and their courage is relatively small.

"I want to see your patriarch. Standing in front of the giant, Heras looked into Ulukan's eyes and said bluntly that the reason why he could see at eye level was because the giant was soaked in oil sludge from the waist down. The Sludge Giants have the worst bloodline among the Giants, and it is extremely rare for them to be promoted to the seventh level of the upper rank, and Heras holds the Deadly Staff in his hand, so he is naturally full of confidence in the conversation with this tribe

"Humans! Oil Marsh is our territory!No, no, I mean I'll take you there now" Quarro had just clenched his fists to teach the mage a lesson, when a thin skeleton with blue soul fire burning in his eyes took a step forward, and a long chain with lightning bolts immediately tied up the two sludge giants, and then two huge skeletal palms suddenly stretched out of the oil sludge, carrying the two giants in his hands, and then an even larger skeleton warrior stood up from the mire.

Level 6 Undead Faction Spell: 'Summons the Bone Warlord'

The appearance of this white bone warrior frightened Quarro to quickly change his words, and the fourth-level spell 'Thunder Light Chain' cast by the sixth-level mage not only tied them up strongly, but also made their whole body convulsions due to the accompanying electric shock, this small giant tribe has never had a high-level member, and the most powerful patriarch is just a sixth-level bloodline warrior

After casting the spell, Rotander grabbed the goblin and jumped down, and since the lifebox was in Heras's hands, he was undoubtedly the most active, and then the necromancer and the Luna priest jumped off the airship in turn. Glelenya has not yet reached the advanced level, although it is not yet possible to use divine power to fly for a short time, but it is still possible to use the second-level divine skill of 'Moonlight Feather' to levitate within one meter of the ground, but the speed of levitation is not as fast as trot.

There is only one plant in the twilight oil marshes, the heavy black fir, which has no leaves and grows only in areas with oil gushing or rich in natural asphalt, and has no value other than being burned for firewood.

Under Quaro's guidance, the group soon reached a rare solid ground in the oil marsh, on which a pile of crooked stone beds was built haphazardly with all kinds of animal bones, slag, asphalt, and rock bars, and in the open space between the stone beds were all kinds of stone jars, this was the home of the sludge giants, and as for the room or something, they didn't need it.

On the largest stone bed in the middle lay a seven-meter-high, greasy giant, who was picking his teeth with a toothpick made of animal bones, when suddenly the mist in the mire in front of him stirred, and a large and hollow skeleton strode through the heavy mist, striding towards himself on the sludge, and the thick bone hand carried two sludge giants.

"Ulukan!Quaro?" As soon as he recognized the two giants, the Sludge Patriarch quickly got up, and as soon as he grasped the huge mace on the edge of the bed, black and greasy smoke immediately rose from the mace, and was about to slam into the skeleton general, he found the figure standing on the giant skeleton.

After a moment of careful observation, the Sludge Patriarch squinted his oily eyes and said in a low voice, "Human, put my people down! There is nothing in this quagmire, and there is nothing that you will be interested in. ”

As soon as the Bone Warlord let go of his hand, he threw the two sludge giants to the solid ground, and the surrounding mud mire began to roll up, and many of the sludge giants emerged from the oil swamp and looked at the much larger skeleton than them with uneasiness, their clan only had two level 6 warriors, one of whom had been crippled in the war with the lizardmen

"Not necessarily, Patriarch. A blonde-haired human in a white robe jumped off the skeleton warlord and smiled indifferently, "This place was originally an energy base for gnomes and goblins, do you know that?"

"Of course, those gnomes and goblins turned out to be the bosses of our tribe, and they hired us for years to help them dig for them, and when they made the oil field like this, they clapped their hands and left. The Sludge Patriarch replied a little in disbelief, he didn't know why the human was asking, "I'd also like to thank the gnomes and goblins for making this place, but there's really nothing here, human, if you're looking for something, you're in the wrong place." ”

"I've heard that there used to be a lot of asphalt factories here, transporting natural asphalt from all over the western continent to be processed. Heras continued.

"That's to pour these asphalt into the dry oil wells to support the geology, but this kind of thing is worthless to you, humans, you can do magic, and your strange alchemy products are much stronger than that. After saying that, the Sludge Patriarch sat down on the stone bed with his mace, these humans didn't seem to be something he could deal with, and it was best if he could avoid fighting.

"Is there anything unusual about the ruins of the asphalt factory? The twilight oil marsh is not big, you should know about it for many years. Heras asked noncommittally.

"No, uh, wait. The sludge patriarch thought seriously for a while: "There is indeed a strange place, but it is not the ruins of an asphalt factory, it seems to be some kind of insurance warehouse, but it has been almost corroded." ”

"Something was wrong with the warehouse when we settled here, the people who lived around were listless and dizzy, and the few people who went to the warehouse to explore came back a little weak, but they all recovered quickly after leaving there. The Sludge Patriarch picked at his toes and added, "I think there's a curse there." ”

"This will happen when you have been exposed to concentrated asphalt for a long time, and the technicians who make the gnome deathray device will not live long. Goblin Marin interjected.

"Yes, dwarf deathrays, I remember, there are several of them in that warehouse! It's rusty, damn gnomes and goblins!"

"Take me to the warehouse, Patriarch. Heras nodded and said.

The lethality of this device is determined by the output power, but the greater the power, the larger the energy consumption and volume of the device, and it is very inconvenient to carry, so it is generally used as a fixed defense. And it can only be used at close range, and the beam will disperse if the target is a little farther away.

"I don't dare to go over, there are some cursed horrors over there right now," said the Sludge Patriarch, picking up the stone jar at his feet, and pouring out a canine head with shiny black fur and dripping black oil, "It's like this, but it's completely different"

Heras recognized at a glance that it was the head of the Tarmon, a large Oily Dog that was not even a Warcraft, and was the main source of food for the Sludge Giants, except for its sturdy size and great adaptability to the polluted environment.

"Those terrible creatures often prey on my people, and I once tried to surround and kill the lone one, and several powerful sludge warriors died, including me, and we haven't been near that warehouse since!" said the sludge patriarch with a sigh of relief, and then added worriedly, "but they are still multiplying"

"Tarmon is not a monster. Glelenya was a little puzzled when she heard this, the large oil dog was just an ordinary creature like a cow and a horse, although it was stronger than a cow and a horse, but it didn't have any extraordinary powers.

"You're right, elves, those terrible beasts really don't have bloodline abilities, they rely purely on the power of **. The sludge patriarch ripped off the oil-soaked leather armor on his chest, revealing a deep laceration-shaped wound, and said a little fearfully: "It's just a bite like this, and the one we encircled and suppressed is not their leader, although there is no transcendent bloodline, but if measured by combat effectiveness, their leader may have reached a high level."

This deep, old scar could be seen as a callus, and it seemed that the beast had bitten off the sludge patriarch's ribs in one bite, and the wound healed with only a thin layer of granulation connective tissue covering the rib section.

The hideous scar made the two necromancers a little frightened, no matter how bad this sludge patriarch was, after all, he was also a sixth-level bloodliner, even the worst sixth-level bloodline could be almost bitten through the chest by a mouthful, which was unimaginably caused by a beast without an extraordinary bloodline

"Emma Scholar, the boiling fog here doesn't dissipate all year round, and there's no sunlight," Gleilenya said worriedly, if that powerful focal length magic didn't work, she couldn't think of any other power against the higher-tier beings.

"Don't worry, I can handle it, you guys are waiting for me here. Heras shook his head and insisted, "Rodander, Edwin, protect Lady Gleranya." ”

"If you can get rid of those horrible creatures, of course, the best. The Sludge Patriarch stood up, pointed his mace at the mire and the surrounding land, and selected a few powerful warriors, including Ulukan and Quarro, and then he squinted and said, "Come with me, human, but as you are told, my people and I will not come near that storehouse." ”
