Chapter 396: Asking for help
On the stone bed, the monster clutched its head and wailed.
But the mere phalanges can't do much damage to this kind of monster in any case, and the depth and caliber of the wound are too small, which is just a little uncomfortable for it.
"It's you! Monsters of the dead! It turns out that dead things are also dangerous! I'll kill you! "The monster's speech was quite childish and ridiculous, but it seemed even more terrifying.
Because now it's just a baby!
"Heavenly Father! Give me strength! The monster roared wildly, and its powerful aura forced the surrounding black water away, and the surrounding walls and ceilings were covered with violently wriggling black liquid.
The monster's size was slowly expanding, and its weight was constantly growing out of thin air, and the ground under his feet that had been improvised by earth-based magic was pressed out of his feet by cracks.
Seremo remained motionless, just staring blankly at the monster's head.
The monster had been desperately trying to pull out the finger bones that had been pierced in its head since the beginning, but as much as it grew stronger, it couldn't get rid of the fragile rotten bones......
"It stinks, it stinks...... It's disgusting...... Hmm...... monster suddenly fell to its knees on one knee, black liquid coming out of its pierced eye socket......
But this time it wasn't the strange evil earth god, it was the tissue fluid that it produced after its own decay......
"It's really powerful, this is a new spell that I mixed with Zhao Tianhe's master's anti-magic technique and the original high-level rotting corpse poison, I didn't expect that there would be creatures that could resist for so long before attacking, your physique is really good...... If only this trick didn't completely corrode your body......" Seremo said, tilting his head with a hint of relief and regret on his face. "What kind of structure is your physique made of? It's really curious......"
But at the same time as Seremo spoke, the monster was already lying limply on the ground, and its body was already incapacitated.
"Speaking of which, from the beginning, you guys made me think of that." Seremo said with emotion. "These seventeen poor victims are all like you, starting from scratch......"
Seventeen phalanges stuck in his head had fallen, leaving seventeen holes in the thick water that were constantly flowing......
Not only that, but there were also a large number of bulges under the fur of various parts of the monster's body.
With a pop, a lump exploded, emitting a large amount of putrid tissue fluid, and then an even larger lump emerged from the open wound.
Stacks of lumps made its body look like a mouldy pile of vomit rather than a living ......
Seremo watched all this indifferently, and at the same time marveled at the vitality of this monster's mature form.
Where is the source of his power? And this power is also constantly transformed into life force to resist the erosion of spells, and if I hadn't corroded its head in the first place, maybe it would have been able to manipulate this energy to suppress my spells. Seremo was also amazed to see the moldy mass of flesh expanding.
So, he cast a wide-ranging fire spell.
Raging flames swept through, sweeping the black water and the pus from the monster's decay, including Thremo himself, of course......
The young battle mage, who had just gotten rid of the mutated evil land god, encountered that kind of monster a few more times along the way before he could be considered to fly to the temporary station, and the first thing he did when he landed on the ground was to go straight to the command room of the station to find the squadron leader.
However, before he could land, a surging pillar of fire opened a large area of ground and rose into the sky!
The young man was stunned when he saw this, and then he discovered something that frightened him even more!
I saw that in the firelight, one after another figures were rushing towards him.
The figures were familiar to him, and some of them could be named, but he was sure of one thing......
None of these people are dark-skinned!
'Have the mutated monsters been killed?!' What to do now...... 'The young battle mage is really confused this time.
But a ring of flame suddenly appeared beside him, and with a single spin, the ring of flame turned into an impenetrable shield of flame.
Specks of black were encased in the flame shield and burned to ashes.
These black dots look strange, they look like water droplets.
'It's a small monster......,' the young man stared intently, but it was an existence similar to the mutated monster chasing him, but the reminder was much smaller.
This is the second variant of the evil land god, and unlike the first variant, they did not mutate from the evolved form of parasitic monsters, but evolved from the womb of a mature body that failed to hatch.
Their physical characteristics are closer to the primitive Earth Father God and the Fallen Earth God, much like the most primitive kind of cells.
Their advantage is that they are small in size, easy to penetrate, and can devour flesh and proliferate at a very high rate, making them almost impossible to defend against bacteria the size of their size.
But the downside is that they are indeed the same as bacteria, and they can be directly immune to some immunity-boosting spells, as well as the ability of people who have sufficient immunity to their own damage.
In addition, they are too small and too active to live, so they don't live long.
After all, they are not resentful spirits like the fallen land gods, but a kind of living beings, and once the energy in their bodies is exhausted, they will hang up.
Moreover, they do not have the ability to summon the power of evil gods, and must constantly re-evolve to a certain size by devouring each other before they can summon the power of evil gods to multiply themselves.
But as long as they reach the size of a normal insect, such as a locust or cockroach, these monsters can have all the abilities of a parasitic monster the size of a fist.
Flying, parasitizing, self-proliferating, you name it.
Although Seremo activated the sealing magic props in the temporary basement in time to open the enchantment, there were still many evil land god organizations that drilled out along the crack of the door because the power of the splash was too great.
Although the total amount was less than a hundred grams, these things had been devoured by themselves and turned into small parasitic monsters, and they began to attack the battle mages in the station!
In just a few minutes, the unsuspecting battle mages were all attacked!
Through the blazing flame shield in front of him, the young battlemage even saw the terrifying scene of a female colleague being bitten on the head by his colleague and then spitting black water!
"How so? Wrong! Who put this flame shield on me?! The young man calmed down and suddenly thought of the question.
Then, a skeletal frame wrapped in flames flew in front of him!
"Are you investigating in the field? Youngster? The skeleton asked.
The skeleton of this skeleton was covered in flames, and the surface of the skeleton glowed with a clear metallic luster, which looked quite powerful and not very terrifying.
After all, compared to the current situation, the image of the flame skeleton or something is very passable!
"Who are you? How did the camp come to be like this?! And that's it, the squadron leader too? The young man asked hurriedly.
"I am the Imperial Necromancer, the Iron Lich of the Furnace, and I am here to investigate the further development of events and find the best way to stop this scourge. Unfortunately, the leader of the Ji'an squadron has died in the line of duty. The Flame Skull said.
As a special operations force of the Empire, young people who are battle mages have naturally heard of rumors about necromancers, especially the lichs among them.
This is a special being that uses necromancy to process and transform one's own soul into a necromantic creature, which is an incomplete immortality spell.
If you don't care about becoming completely emotionless, and you're gifted at necromancy, then definitely give it a try.
"Can you still cast spells?" The Lich Thremo asked.
"Of course you can!" The young man nodded hurriedly.
"Then hurry up and help me clear this camp! Especially that 'egg'! Now we must not let the eggs hatch! Even a failed hatch can be troublesome! Thremo yelled at the female battlemage who had been bitten to death. I'll deal with this! You go and see if there are any others! Remember! If you burst out of the black water, you can just deal with it with the fire wall technique, but don't let the creature burst out rashly and lure it to me! ”
"Yes!" The young man nodded, and chose to obey without hesitation.
Next, the two worked together to clear out the battlemage camp that had completely fallen.
"Whew...... ......The young man knelt in the scorched earth, his head bowed and gasping, the sweat on his forehead dripping to the ground and turning into smoke......
As the sun set, the battle that lasted less than an hour from the beginning of the ruins to the end of the battle had already made him feel the horror of approaching death several times.
The lich Thremo on the side was splicing the metal ribs and shoulders and arms of the left half of his body, and just now a hatched mature monster grew wings and killed it, if it wasn't for Thremo sacrificing his life to save him, this young man would probably have been planted here.
"Thank you, senior." The young man said with a wry smile. "If it's not you......"
"This is what I should do, if you die, there will be a loss of firepower." Seremo's tone was flat, as he didn't really have feelings, and if it weren't for the care of other people, he wouldn't have put on a flesh and blood construct and manipulate facial muscles to simulate emotional communication.
This is a hassle for him, but the battlefield is more relaxed, just make the right choices and defeat the enemy.
"Really? But I have to thank you anyway. By the way, my name is Rainey, Rainey Jerkas, the third squadron of the Imperial Battlemage Force......" Rainey stood up and said with a smile.
"Alright, stop." Seremo said, standing up, twisting his neck and shaking his left arm and shoulder. "Now it's serious, those monsters have erupted into unreasonable mutations for unknown reasons."
"Originally, the eggs were in a stable state, and none of the embryos were formed, but it was not normal to suddenly be able to give birth to such a powerful monster." Serremo analyzed. "Their source, or something, gives them more power, and that power is beyond our reach. Even if the empire sends more manpower, it may not be able to contain it, but it may be devoured by the other party and become a tonic, especially a black bacterial-grade monster, that is, the failure of the egg, that kind of thing is very terrifying to ordinary people. ”
"So what are we going to do?" Rainey also roughly understood the current situation, so he asked.
"It's cruel, but the border has to be abandoned." Seremo said. "I'll go back to the base camp of the Battlemage and the Cornerstone of the Empire's main army, and suggest activating the isolation tactics of the Fortified Clear. Cut off all links to the border, especially water, and put an end to the spread of black water, which would cause widespread civilian deaths. ”
"There are several settlements on the border, and there can be more than 30,000 people!" Rennie was also shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly suggested. "Even if it's not to save people, we can't watch those people become nutrients for monsters! Otherwise, wouldn't it be even more difficult to deal with?! ”
"You're right, I'm thinking about it." Seremo continued. "There are two ways, first, send a force of battle mages to assist in the evacuation or send necromantic and construct forces to protect or annihilate it, in short, to prevent these civilians from staying here, at least not to let them stay alive, because I have confirmed one thing, and that is that these monsters are not a threat to necromantic creatures and constructs."
"This ......," Rainey was also embarrassed when he heard this.
After these monsters mutate, they also pose a strong threat to the battle mage troops, and it is obviously irrational to fill this bottomless pit with the lives of their companions.
However, it is not very appropriate to send a simple necromancer and construct troops, because the abilities and adaptability of these things are very limited, after all, the necromancers who are the manipulators, including the lich Thremo, now have about twenty people in the army, and it is definitely not enough to protect 30,000 people.
At that time, there will definitely be a large number of dead and wounded, and even the total annihilation of the army is possible.
Of course, judging by Seremo's statement, he didn't even want to kill these civilians and leave them to those mutated monsters.
Either of these plans would have killed or injured tens of thousands of people, but now there seems to be no other way.
"By the way, what about the second method?" It occurred to Rainey that Seremo seemed to have merged the two plans into one, but it should be, as both plans were premised on sacrifice.
"You go to the Peace Academy to find Master Zhao Tianhe and ask him to pacify this area." Seremo said. "Barrel Town...... Well, now it's called the City of the Round Table. Although it also belongs to the border area, the level of security there is even higher than that of Wang Du, after all, there is Zhao Tianhe Master in place, and the defensive circles outside the city alone are enough to make the people inside sit back and relax. ”
Before leaving, Zhao Tianhe also left Bi Sini, or his doppelganger, a blueprint for the future expansion of Barrel Town.
Because his doppelganger is still constantly setting up various magic circles to repair streets, houses, and cities, the whole is a construction worker who is working 24 hours a day.
In order to prevent the city from clashing with the magic circle he had arranged, it was necessary to plan in advance, coupled with the existence of the Peace Academy and the support of various magic academies, Barrel Town had been built into a small city of considerable scale at this time.
As for the name of the city, it is naturally to commemorate Zhao Tianhe's first love.
"That's right! And Master Zhao Tianhe! Rainey was also overjoyed when he heard this. He can even stop the world-destroying monsters, let alone these little monsters! ”
"Yes, so I need you to call for help and inform them, I remember that there are two settlements near the City of Round Table, so it's important for them to accept the people of these two places first." Serremo admonished. "Do you know the direction? Is mana enough? Let's take a break and go again. ”
"Hmmm! I know! I don't need to rest, my mana recovery rate is okay. Rainey nodded firmly.
"That's good, be careful on the road. Rest assured, I will send someone to arrange further work when I return to the base camp. Morether nodded.
But to be honest, he was actually afraid that Rainey would be attacked and hung up by those mutant monsters, so he had to send a group of people to notify him when he returned.
Of course, he definitely couldn't say that.
Although he has no feelings, Morether still understands people's hearts.
Watching Rainey fade away, he also flew to the base camp.
The Jade Soul Empire's side was in a mess because of the mess left by the Heavenly Evil, not to mention, Zhao Tianhe's side had already completed the basic treatment of Wanhua Palace.
"Very good, everyone's spirits have been soothed and stabilized, and then you can rest and practice." Zhao Tianhe said to Wan Su. "I'll leave it to you here, if you have difficulty reacting to the heavenly evil, such as attacking the sect or something, he will help you knock out the other party's mountain protection array or something."
Zhao Tianhe's side is planning to gather the power of the entire Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance to do one thing.
And on such a large scale, it must be useless for him to do it one by one, and the best way is to use the prestige of the Five Great Immortal Sects to subdue the other party.
Of course, if the other party is disobedient, it will naturally require a certain amount of force to deter.
This kind of troublesome thing like the Mountain Protection Array is quite difficult to crack even for the top half-step perfect person ascendant, but the Heavenly Evil attack is different.
Now his strength is probably inferior to that of Mr. Tasdes, and what Zhao Tianhe doesn't know is that the Heavenly Evil has just been inexplicably strengthened again!
Corresponding to this was a roar that resounded through the barren forest......
Zhao Tianhe hurried back to the Hundred Beast Gate here, because Tasdes's arrived.
If Tasdes' work doesn't work, then this plan will be over, and then Zhao Tianhe will casually spread the spread spell to practice the exercises, and then grab Zhan Qingtian or some other half-step perfecter and force him to fly up to open the door.
"But to be honest, the hidden boss isn't that easy to fight...... It's just that there is one more true king-level combat power, no, count the top two of the Heavenly Evil's ascension, can you beat it? Zhao Tianhe was also a little puzzled by this.
