The insect tide invaded and launched an offensive and defensive battle in the western suburbs of Shenjiao City.

Powerful arcane mages led by Keystone Fury Waves rode battleships and airships to bombard insect tides in the sky and uproot high-level spirit insects.

A weak arcane mage like Duke joins knights and mercenaries to rely on the ground to defend themselves and hunt transit bugs.

Rumble!

The mage's hand grabbed a 1-ring spirit beast, the one-eyed spider, and did not pinch it hard, but applied slight pressure to squeeze the one-eyed spider little by little.

By the time the mage's hand was gone, the one-eyed spider's corpse was mostly intact, but its skin had cracked inch by inch, and the juice was flowing all over the ground.

"Whew." A smile twitched at Duke's lips.

Standing on the city wall, pinching insects with the hands of a mage, pinching an unknown number of insects, and finally mastering the slightest grasp of the severity.

The mage's hand is cultivated to a high depth, which is basically equivalent to the third hand of the arcane mage.

Duke is still not at the realm, and can only use the mage's hand to grapple roughly, pinching and exploding the enemy.

But as he continued to cast the mage's hand, his understanding of the mage's hand became more and more profound, and his memory of the spell model became clearer and clearer, and with it, the control of the mage's hand increased little by little.

He turned his head to look at the city not far away, where a mage's hand was slowly dispersing.

"It's the hand of a mage who is guided by Leadman, and all five fingers can move flexibly, which can be called perfect."

He admired in his heart.

The usually serious and reticent Leadman guide has a lot of attainments in both arcane and research, and may have the potential to be promoted to the 3rd ring.

"I need to work harder!" Duke turned around, concentrating on the mage's hand.

The insect tide is surging, but unfortunately most of them are low-level spirit insects, with 0 rings in the majority, and there are many in 1 ring, but spirit insects with 2 rings and above are very rare.

Therefore, in Duke's eyes, these spirit insects are not enough for him to use the Sand Eagle Pistol anymore, they are the best training things for the Mage's Hand.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

The casting speed is getting faster and faster, the casting accuracy is getting higher and higher, and the sensitivity of the Mage's Hand is getting higher and higher.

What followed was the rapid decline of spiritual energy in the spiritual sea, and the uninterrupted exclusive meditation method, the speed of absorbing free spiritual particles, was far from making up for the crazy spell casting consumption at the moment.

"Sir, take a break." The little assistant who followed behind her, Mu Lali, saw that Duke was already sweating on his forehead, and hurriedly said.

A discerning guard knight next to him also hurriedly walked over: "My lord, I will take your place for a while, you go and rest for a while." ”

Duke didn't relent, and when he heard this, he withdrew from the city: "Okay, thank you, I'll come and replace you when I'm rested." ”

After retreating, Mulali had instructed the two attendants to bring chairs and water and snacks so that Duke could have a good rest.

After resting for about a quarter of an hour, feeling his spiritual energy restore, Duke got up again to replace the great knight.

The mage's hand blasted out, pinching the bugs that rushed to the castle's vicinity.

"It seems that the insect tide is not so ferocious." He keenly found that the spirit insects that attacked the city's defense line began to decrease.

However, there are more spirit insects with 2 rings or more.

A large centipede suddenly broke through the ground of the city wall and began to climb along the wall of the wall, trying to break into the castle.

No one noticed this.

Only Duke, whose Douqi holographic screen was always open, accurately captured the location of this large centipede with the help of large plants inside and outside the castle, and the small art of the on-hook breathing method.

A small map in the field of view, where small red dots representing large centipedes flash rapidly.

Duke leaned out of the city wall slightly, and saw the large centipede that was sneaking up, and the mage's hand condensed and grabbed the large centipede.

"Iron Breaking Centipede, 2-ring spirit beast, amazing destructive power, especially good at destroying metal, common solidification arcane has 1 ring of rock protrusion, 1 ring of fire knife, 2 ring of rock iron shatter, 2 ring of fire dragon drill, 2 rings of confusion space ......" The information flashed on the Dou Qi holographic screen.

The next moment, the head of the Broken Iron Centipede arched, and the mage's hand seemed to be cut, cut into pieces and quietly shattered.

"2 Rings Arcane - Confusion Space!" Duke was slightly surprised.

Arcane has a strong elemental color, and its elemental attributes are roughly divided into seven types: earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, light, and darkness.

Confusion is a rare form of light elemental arcane.

Therefore, the spirituality of this Iron Breaking Centipede itself has a strong tendency towards light elements, and it is definitely a top-level spiritual material.

"Mage's Hand!" Duke casts the spell again.

Not surprisingly, he was once again defeated by the chaotic space of the Broken Iron Centipede, and saw that the Broken Iron Centipede was about to rush to the city.

A sand eagle quietly appeared in Duke's hand.

When the Broken Iron Centipede jumped up from the city wall and was about to rush into the city, Duke held the Sand Eagle and calmly aimed at the head of the Broken Iron Centipede.

Puff puff puff......

A barrage of bullets poured out, leaving the Iron Broken Centipede no time to react, and blood flowers bloomed on its head.

Smack!

The Iron Centipede did land on the top of the city, right at Duke's feet, but it could only twitch and writhe, struggling wildly.

Having lost its head, it would not be able to die completely for a while, but it was no longer a threat.

Several knights rushed over and cut the struggling Iron Centipede into several pieces, completely quieting it.

Glancing at the corpse of the broken iron centipede that had been taken away by the knights, Duke's expression was unwavering, but there was a hint of pride in his heart.

Below the 3 rings, no spirit animal can withstand the baptism of the sand eagle.

Therefore, seeing the increase in high-level spirit insects, Duke continued to release the mage's hand to increase his proficiency, while holding the sand eagle and continuously killing the spirit insects that were not killed by the arcane.

He has used a ring of sand eagles in public several times, and I am afraid that it has long fallen into the eyes of people with a heart.

So there's no need to be so particular, hide it and keep it secret.

And with the help of the sand eagle, he alone repelled the insect tide in the entire area, and unconsciously, there were fewer and fewer spirit insects attacking the defense line.

"Lord Duke, Lord Penrose has sent a message asking all the arcane mages to board the airship and advance over the line to the outskirts!" Lefsky, Penrose's secretary, hurried over to convey Penrose's instructions.

Duke nodded.

Then he asked, "What about the teacher?" ”

"Your Excellency is on the battleship Bibo, tracking down the leader of this insect tide, the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon."

"Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon, what's that?" Duke was stunned for a moment, sounding like some kind of dragon, a legendary dragon creature.

"I don't know, it seems to be a huge scorpion, which has reached the 9-ring level, and was temporarily named the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon by the United Tower, and it is said to be related to the 7-ring Black Jade Scorpion King in the Cuihai Valley before." Lefsky said what he knew.

Duke quickly understood.

This so-called black jade horseshoe crab dragon is about the suspected 9-ringed giant insect in Cuihai Valley, which was chased from Cuihai Valley to Shenjiao City.

"9 rings!"

Duke exclaimed as he hurried towards the airship.

9-ringed spirit animal, can be called a wurm.

The Cuihai Valley Exploration War, which should have been smooth sailing, suddenly appeared with a wurm, which undoubtedly cast a shadow over the Pioneer War.

"But......" Duke thought to himself, "if you kill Wurm, I'm afraid you can forge an even stronger family!" ”

The chief consul of the United Tower, Kingston Futao, the family he was born in, the bloodline inherited by the family is the blood of the Fury Dao Jiaolong that was eliminated when Shenjiao City was established in the past year, and it is the real 9-ring Wurm bloodline.

For example, a small nobleman like the Black Snake Family, the family bloodline is the bloodline of the 5-ring spirit beast, the multi-headed black-necked snake.

The gap is too big.

"Duke, your arcane weapon is really strong, when will you show me a look, I also want to cast an arcane weapon!" Sanfiz stood in front of the airship staircase, waiting for Duke to come along.

Duke smiled: "Mysterious weapons, no loans!" ”

The arcane mage's arcane weapons are all their own hole cards, how can they be observed by others.

Sanfez was just joking with Duke because he was familiar with him, so he quickly put the arcane weapon behind him and talked about the insect tide.

As he spoke, he went up the stairs and into the cabin.

Vikas and the others have already come in first.

While waiting for the airship to take off, everyone chatted non-stop around the insect tide, and soon talked about the 9-ringed spirit beast - the black jade horseshoe crab dragon.

Nothing is known about this wurm.

So I can only think differently and talk about related content.

Bronke sighed: "Bernoulli Earth Arcane Mage, originally supposed to refine the bloodline of the 7-ring Black Jade Scorpion King, as the bloodline of the family inheritance, this time it was a blessing in disguise, I am afraid that it will be replaced by the bloodline of the 9-ring Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon......"

"Isn't this the same bloodline as the Nutao family?" Sanfiz replied sourly.

Garba shook his head: "I don't think so, Bernoulli is just a 4-ring earth mage, and if he wants to refine the blood of the wurm, it's not that simple!" ”

Oriana and Garba had some ambiguity, and when they heard this, they immediately echoed: "Yes, if you want to be on an equal footing with the Nutao family, Bernoulli is not qualified enough. ”

"You're thinking too far ahead." Vikas sighed, "Relying on the strength of my Shen Jiao City alone, I may not be able to take down the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon." ”

"I agree with Vikas's guide, one with 5 rings and four with 4 rings, this lineup is a little weaker than the 9-ring wurm." Duke also expressed his opinion, "It is recorded in the book "The Spirituality of the Black Jiao Riverland" that the battle of Shenjiao City ......"

At that time, the large-scale spiritual spring that was entrenched in Shenjiao City was the 9-ringed spirit beast - the Angry Waves Jiaolong, and finally relied on the siege of many earth and sea arcane mages, coupled with the desperate sneak attack of the sky arcane mage Kirill, to kill the angry waves Jiaolong.

Sky Arcane Mage is the 6 rings.

Kirill, the Sky Mage who slew the Raging Waves Dragon, is the original Earl of Raging Waves, the ancestor of the current Chief Consul of the United Tower, Kingston Wrath.

"If you can't beat it, I'm afraid Shenjiao City will be in danger." Vikas sighed again.

Leadman, who rarely spoke, suddenly said, "You don't need to kill the black jade horseshoe crab dragon, just drive it back." ”

"It's hard, too."

"If you adults dare to fight, what dare insects dare to fight to the death!" Lidman snorted coldly.

Everyone couldn't answer this, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Fortunately, the airship had already risen into the air and came to the top of the insect tide, and Vikas immediately commanded: "Everyone enter the battle position, and deal with the insect tide first." ”

The airship has a fighting compartment dedicated to the Armage.

Duke entered the numbered fighting compartment, which protruded from the ship's cabin and was fully transparent for easy observation of the front, left and right, and below.

Vikas and the others have already launched an arcane attack with a bang.

Duke also used the mage's hand to attack the spirit insects on the ground or in the air, and at the same time, with the help of the Dou Qi holographic screen, he locked the position of the spirit insects with 2 rings and above.

Sand eagle in hand.

Accurate point shooting, within 500 meters, basically refers to where to hit, 500 meters away to a little bit of prediction, a kilometer away you need to rely on luck.

"Hearty!"

Duke had a rare opportunity to show off his marksmanship without reservation, as if he were playing a shooting game on Earth.

"It's a pity that the bullet special effect has not yet been successfully developed, and we can only rely on ordinary bullets to kill insects."

If the bullet effect is enabled, empty bullets, shotguns, and armor-piercing bullets can be replaced at will, and the efficiency of killing insects will be greatly improved.

However, to deal with spirit insects below 3 rings, ordinary bullets are enough.

In addition, the mage's hand is also "brushed", if it is not to conserve physical strength and prevent spiritual energy from running out, he can also brush happily again.

"Be careful, there are 4-ringed spirit insects in front of you - vicious bumblebees, a group of spirit insects, which will stack armor and wind wheels, and it is best to attack with fire-based arcane."

Each of the vicious hornets flies in swarms in the sky like calves.

Duke raised his hand and shot it.

Hit one of the vicious hornets with precision, and you can see through the scope that when the bullet was not allowed to fire by the vicious hornet, it dodged slightly sideways, causing the bullet that was originally aimed at the head to hit the wing.

The wings were shot through, and the vicious bumblebee only shook slightly, and then regained its composure.

As if enraged, arcane light condensed from between the wings, followed by two huge circular wind wheels.

Stimulated by this vicious bumblebee, several vicious hornets around them also began to condense arcane energy, resonating with each other's arcane light, and then the surrounding air was affected by arcane resonance, producing a vibration like water waves.

Bang!

Around these vicious hornets, a dense mass of huge wind wheels appeared, and then rushed towards Duke's airship with the momentum of thunder.

"Hold the shield!" Vikas served as the commander of the airship and shouted loudly.

The sound travels down the microphone pipes into every fighting compartment.

Duke responded quickly.

Actively guide the arcane shield wonders in the spiritual sea, and condense an arcane shield in front of the airship to act as protection.

But the real defense is the 2-ring arcane-iceberg shield and the wall of steel, which are released by the two guides Vikas and Lidman, respectively.

Thundered!

Countless large wind wheels collided with the iceberg shield and the steel wall, annihilating each other, and the remaining large wind wheels smashed all the way to the defensive arcane released by Duke and other 1-ring arcane mages, but also wiped out most of the power, leaving the broken wind blade to hit the airship.

The shell of the airship was infused with a large amount of spirit gold, and it was not possible to break the shell even if it shattered the wind blade.

A round of attack and defense ended in the blink of an eye.

Although Duke was not able to take the lead and shoot a 4-ring vicious hornet with one shot, when the vicious hornet unleashed the arcane, he was able to take advantage of their temporary delay and shoot the head of a vicious hornet in a dozen shots.

"The shell of the vicious hornet is a bit hard...... If it is replaced with armor-piercing bullets, it may be possible to shoot one at a time and kill at will. ”

Fighting on an airship, quite easy.

Duke can desert at will, think about the shortcomings of the sand eagle, and ask Xiaoyi to improve it in the future.

As the battle continues, the vicious hornets on the periphery have been mostly cleared out.

After hiding behind the vicious hornets of the remote-controlled swarm, finally exposed to the range of the arcane attack, Duke also aimed at the head of the queen bee with great interest.

Burst!

A precise headshot with one shot.

The results were a bit embarrassing when he saw through the scope, the bullet failed to break the eye of the queen bee he was aiming at, and there was no wound left.

"Don't break the defense?" Duke was speechless.

At this moment, a thick pillar of light shot out from the fighting compartment under the airship like a laser, heading straight for the queen bee.

When the queen bee was struck by a pillar of light, it was as if she had been burned by fire, and half of her body was scorched, and a third of her wings were burned off.

"It's not like an arcane ......," Duke startled.

Xiaoyi also can't give accurate information, and in its database, there is no corresponding arcane that can be released like a laser sword.

On the contrary, it was an exclamation from Shanfiz that provided him with the answer: "Vikas guide, you are my god, so handsome!" After I went back, I immediately asked an alchemist to help me forge an arcane weapon, and you all have arcane weapons, but I don't have them! ”

"It turned out to be an arcane weapon aided by Vikas, and it feels much stronger than my one-ring sand eagle attack power, so it should be a two-ring arcane weapon."

"Focus!" Leadman's voice of scolding came.

Shanfiz smiled: "Roger." ”

The battle continued, and with the appearance of the mysterious weapon guided by Vikas, the 4-ringed spirit worm - the vicious bumblebee was baptized by three consecutive "lightsabers", and finally fell from the sky.

In the process of falling, he was hit again by a lightsaber.

Along with the lightsaber, there is also the arcane magic that the mages don't want money, and even Duke took the opportunity to use the mage's hand and pinched a bee queen.

In his heart, he thought a little bit: "If you don't break the defense, right, I'll pinch out the for you!" ”

With the fall of this group of vicious bumblebees, the noisy insect tide slowly came to an end, and after countless casualties, the remaining insects finally chose to flee for their lives.

The Ring airship did not immediately return to the castle, but passed a flag from the nearby airships, calling on all airships to assemble in the northerly direction of the western suburbs.

"Over there, that's where the wurm is!" Vikas made a judgment, "Guys, are we going to return, or are we going to war?" ”

"Fight!" Sanfez screamed, "Wurm, I'm going to be a dragon slayer!" ”

"You have to do your part." Lidman said coldly.

Oriana said slowly: "Let's go to the battlefield first, if the wurm is too strong, we must ensure our safety first." ”

"yes." Garba immediately chimed in, "The mentor didn't let us go dragon hunting, so if we want to go to war, we must be careful." ”

Bronk was unremarkable.

Duke said: "If I don't take a look at the black jade horseshoe crab dragon, I may regret it for life, 9-ringed spirit beasts, how many can I see in this life." ”

Vikas synthesized everyone's opinions and gave an order: "Then go to the western suburbs to the north to gather!" ”

Along the way, most of the airships were flying northward to the western suburbs, but a small number of airships turned around and flew back to Shenjiao City.

Not all arcane mages have the courage to take part in the battle of the dragon hunt.

It didn't take long to fly, and everyone saw the battle situation in the northern part of the western suburbs through the telescope, a huge scorpion-like spirit worm, walking on the ground in the sky at will, and the speed was extremely fast, rushing towards one airship after another.

There were a few 5-ring black jade scorpions behind him, but the 7-ring black jade scorpion king was missing.

The airship brigade is led by the battleship Bibo, and the arcane mage phantom rises in the bow of the ship, constantly resisting the attacks of the giant scorpions.

The brilliance of the arcane shone across the sky.

Meteorites fell from the sky, icebergs appeared in the void, cyan wind blades could cut through the cracks in space, and blue thunder divided the heavens and the earth.

"Uh......" Sanfiz's voice sounded from the pipe, "Vikas guide...... Otherwise, we'll stop here, over there......"

After a long silence, Shanfiz continued: "The scene is a bit huge, and I am afraid that I will be injured by my teammates. ”

No one laughed at Sanfez.

Vikas directly ordered the airship to hover, not daring to drive further, the destructive power of the battlefield in front of him was amazing, and getting close was no different from sending him to death.

"U-turn and be ready to get out of here."

The airship turned around on the spot, and Duke and the others also left their respective fighting compartments, came to the stern of the lower hanging cabin, stood by the porthole, and silently watched the battlefield in the distance.

"It's not a fight we can get involved in." Liedman whispered.

"The form is a little bad, the airship of the Bernoulli Mage Tower, without the projection ring battle, lost too much combat power."

"It should be when I was in the Cuihai Valley, I was defeated by the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon and the Projection Ring." Duke said.

The Projection Ring is a regular combat method for the Great Arcian Mage, and it can rely on the projection ring clone to fight thousands of miles away, effectively avoiding the danger of personal combat.

Bronke couldn't help but scold: "This old guy, he wants to open up Cuihai Valley, and he is reluctant to show up, he regards our Shenjiao City as his coolies!" ”

"Pay attention to the words." Vikas reminded.

For an arcane mage, there must be basic respect, even if all the arcane mages in Shenjiao City are resistant to Bernoulli.

Bronke had a calm face: "I know, I just don't resent him for treating us as Gu worms under his command!" ”

Shanfeisi flattened his mouth, and was equally angry and disdainful: "These people who play with insects like to hide behind so much, if I were a 4-ring arcane mage, I would have already had a hard time with the black jade horseshoe crab dragon!" ”

Duke did not engage in complaining.

He stared intently at the battlefield in front of him, striving to record the war without missing a single detail, and then handed it over to Xiaoyi for analysis.

This battle allowed him to fully understand the strength of high-level arcane mages and spirit beasts.

"The black jade horseshoe crab dragon looks like a scorpion, but there are obvious differences...... The two most obvious places, one is the chelicerae at the front end, the chelicera of the scorpion is like a large pincer, but the chelicerae of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon is like a big knife, and there is no fork. ”

Another notable difference is the tail.

The tip of the scorpion's tail has a barbed sting, and the tip of the tail of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon is a long needle prick.

"Compared with the hideousness of the black jade scorpion, the image of this black jade horseshoe crab dragon is more gentle." Duke thought to himself.

However, the combat power of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon far surpasses that of the black jade scorpion.

The black jade scorpion behind it is more like the younger brother cheering for the eldest brother, and it can't get involved in the battle between the airship team and the black jade horseshoe crab dragon.

There were a few onlookers of airships, quietly waving flags around.

The flag bearer of the Ring Airship quickly caught the flag and came over to report: "Ladies and gentlemen, the nearby airship invites us to besiege the lone black jade scorpion. ”

In Penrose's absence, Vikas was the first conductor of the airship, but he preferred to refer to everyone's opinions: "What do you think? ”

Sanfiz was the first to cry out: "Siege, siege!" Can't beat the black jade horseshoe crab dragon, and can't beat the black jade scorpion? ”

This statement won the unanimous agreement of everyone: "Indeed, the battle to hunt the black jade horseshoe crab dragon cannot be participated, at least a few black jade scorpions can be cut off, and the pressure on Lord Keystone and others can be reduced." ”

Seeing this, Vikas immediately ordered the standard-bearer: "Keep in touch with the surrounding airships and look for a lone black jade scorpion to attack!" ”

"Yes, sir."

The flag-bearer quickly responded to the surrounding airships with flags, and about a dozen airships responded, quickly forming a hunting airship team and surrounding a wounded black jade scorpion around the battlefield.

This 5-ringed spirit worm, the Black Jade Scorpion, participated in the battle before and was blown off three legs.

There was also a large crack in the back armor.

It didn't know that danger was approaching, so it quietly crawled on the ground and licked its wounds, ready to choose the opportunity to fight again.

By the time it was noticed, more than a dozen airships had already hovered around and began to launch a ferocious attack on it.

Because the 3-ring and above arcane mages are basically hunting the black jade horseshoe crab dragon in the airship team, this airship team only has 1 ring and 2 rings of arcane mages.

However, all arcane mages have communicated through the language of the flag, and meeting each other is the most powerful means.

Or the best arcane art, or the arcane weapon that acts as a hole card.

Not to be outdone, Duke held a ring of sand eagles in one hand, kept his arm steady, and kept pulling the trigger.

The bullet frantically tilted towards the black jade scorpion's wounded back armor - only where it was wounded, the bullet could cause damage, and the rest of the place would definitely not be able to break the defense.

"Sanfiz is right!"

"Can't beat the black jade horseshoe crab dragon, can't beat you?"
