Chapter 211: Paternity Testing
The strength of the Zanlo people was more terrifying than Heine had imagined.
Their population is the permanent population of Green Leaf Town, but they have raised three fifth-level, more than fifty fourth-level and I don't know how many third-level combatants.
In other words, such a split-toed clan squeezed into the easternmost part of the plateau would be enough to sweep through the former mountains of Maikara.
Theoretically, the current one can also be swept away.
But as soon as Heine came to talk about martial virtues, he took the initiative to launch a sneak attack.
Second, their way of fighting is understood by players.
Third, the father's treasure is really awesome, and the decapitation action is outstanding.
However, even with such good preparation, the first volley killed or fell two-thirds of the opponent.
When a hundred native warriors loaded with the Gen Spirit mod faced the remnants, they still couldn't do it unscathed.
It can only be said that the monster of the new map is different.
There are two main types of fighting classes among the Zanlo people, Soul Priest and Ancestral Spirit Warrior.
Among them, the Soul Priest has a revered status, and enjoys the treatment of "Level +1" when facing the Ancestral Spirit Warrior.
That is, a fifth-level soul priest is second only to Ursa, the patriarch of the Split-Toe Clan, and even more important than him on some occasions.
On the one hand, there is the diversity of priestly identities.
In addition to spellcasters, they also have to take care of the functions of doctors, counselors, teachers, etc.
This is dictated by its originality.
On the other hand, this is a race that once had a magic web.
The magic net that covered the Zanro Plateau was accessed and maintained by the soul priests, and was later destroyed.
In other words, they are like the head self-media in the era of the information explosion.
It is a filter of information and an opinion leader, so it is very reasonable to have a respected status.
This is determined by its advanced nature.
The Split-Toe Clan has only one fifth-level soul priest.
Below the fifth level, the priests were called attendantsβa title distinctly characteristic of the Northlands.
And the ancestral warriors are "gladiators".
Therefore, the fourth-level level can indeed only be used as a big soldier in places outside the mountains.
For example, the last time Siara brought someone here, the thirty-year-old worker in the team, Ryan Fred, was a standard fourth-level soldier trained in the assembly line.
He was sent to a remote town like Godro because he had no potential.
β¦
"In other words, you have lost more than half of the strong men in this battle?"
Heine said with interest, "Will this have an impact on your clan?" β
Farkas stole a glance at him, bowed his head and said nothing.
Heine was curious.
After being frightened by Arthur, this guy was very cowardly.
Not daring to open his mouth meant that the answer would anger him in his opinion.
In other words, isn't that so nerve-wracking?
β¦
Teacher Xia: "I'm in a hurry, I really want to tell him directly that Xiong Ba is the cornerstone of this clan." β
Catch the sheep: "You better bear with it, he can realize this kind of thing himself, let's not help the seedlings." β
At this time, Heine frowned and asked, "Are these people not worth mentioning compared to their patriarch Ursa?" β
Catching the sheep suddenly said, "Look, I'll just say he can do it." β
Mr. Sa: "Brother Yang! β
Wei Diankite: "Brother Yang! β
Catching sheep: "Yes, yes, I see it!" β
β¦
Faced with this question, Farkas did not dare to evade at all, and immediately nodded like pounding garlic.
It's as if acknowledging quickly and surely at this time is equivalent to atonement for one's sins.
"The Ursa patriarch is everything to the clan, and although the three of them were recruited by the patriarch on the surface, they were actually slaves captured by him when they were at the fourth level."
"Kidnapped? No wonder each looks completely different. β
Heine thought thoughtfully.
Among the brothers, the one named Carrick is of snake blood, the remaining one is a badger, and the other is a bear.
The clans of the Zanro people are clearly not united by blood.
"Isn't Ursa worried about their betrayal?" He asked.
Farkas shook his head violently: "No, don't worry, without the help of the patriarch, they simply can't summon the spirit of the ancestors. β
"Oh?"
Speaking of which, Heine is not sleepy.
"Tell me about the Ancestral Spirit Warriors."
When Fakas heard this, he panicked and threw himself on his knees.
"I've undergone the spirit calling, I can't say it, I'm dead if I say it, I'm ...... Huh? β
As soon as these words came out, he himself was stunned first.
"IβI'm not dead? I'm okay? β
He touched his face blankly, poked his fingers into his nostrils, and then groped around his body, his expression wonderful.
"I really said that??? Great, I'm not dead! β
He yelled excitedly and didn't calm down until a slap made of letters slapped him in the face.
"Sorry, sorry...... I...... I don't know why, but I didn't die! β
Heine: "You're being asked to keep this secret, and if you leak it, you'll die?" β
"Yes!"
Farkas took a deep breath, calmed his excitement for a moment, and then spoke:
"The Zanro people are not born to communicate with their ancestors, and although the orcs of the royal family boast about themselves, I have never seen it.
"Most of the Zanluo people will participate in the spirit summoning ritual at level 4, which is both a test and a necessary process to advance to level 5......"
β¦
Catching sheep: "Anyway, I've always wanted to complain about this setting, Zanluo's ancestors are red, so you can shake people, we are players, why?" β
Teacher Xia: "You don't know this, the ancestors were indeed a special class for NPCs at the beginning, and players can't change jobs, they were added after the Void Disaster." β
Catching Sheep: "I know it was added later, and they also changed the basic setting, saying that what was approved through the 'trial', and then you can summon the Cyber Ancestor, don't you think it's too forceful?" β
Mr. Sa: "There is one thing to say, it is true, just the ancestor who is like Brother Pingtou, Brother Wei is so fierce and constantly pulling." β
Teacher Xia: ", is it really fake?" I just broke a ......."
Wei Diankite was shocked, he almost blurted out "You can also soul suck", but fortunately he held back.
"How did you break it?" He asked.
β¦
When Teacher Xia was briefly describing the battle on the airship, Heine also frowned.
What does Farkas say......
It's funny.
ββ¦β¦ Twenty people are usually present at each time the ritual is performed, and even if the number of people decreases, there will always be a pair.
"Then we will be taken into a cave with incense lit and a circle painted on the ground. As the circle is activated, our souls are dragged into an ancient gladiatorial arena.
"The ancestors sat high all around, as if there were countless pairs of eyes watching us. We want to show our prowess and bloodlust as much as possible.
"In the end, only half of the people will survive, and the victor is called 'gladiator', and the soul is marked, so many ancestral warriors prefer this title.
"Gladiators are eligible to be promoted to the fifth rank, and through subsequent rituals they will receive the blessings of the ancestors, as well as the spirits of the ancestors who fight side by side."
Farkas looked down at his hand again and muttered:
"We swear to keep these secrets, and I've seen a man who tried to tell it killed, and before he had time to say half of it, his soul was shredded, and it flowed out of his mouth and nose and eyes, and he became a lost soul, like those who failed in a ritual......"
Heine's heart moved.
The people participating in the ritual must be an even number, and the ritual is performed in the gladiatorial arena of the souls.
Those who lose will die, and those who leak secrets will die, and they will all become soulless......
Isn't this the beggar's version of the gladiatorial arena?
Heine: "Will all the fourth-level Zanluo people be required to participate in the spirit summoning ceremony?" β
"How could it be ......"
Farkas shook his head: "It's a precious ceremony, the number of places is limited, and only the most outstanding can participate. β
"So you're also a gladiator?"
"I ...... I used to think I was. β
Farkas had a complicated expression, and he didn't know whether to be happy or ashamed.
"But now...... I'm not sure. Maybe the ancestors didn't brand my soul. β
"Maybe it's not your reason."
Heine gave him an ambiguous answer, and had him taken aside, motioning for the next captive to be brought up.
Soon, a man as strong as an ox with horns on his head was lifted up.
He was covered in blood and looked miserable, but in reality these skin injuries were not fatal.
Because of the excessive recovery ability, the three captives were handed over to Teacher Xia to deal with.
The Zanro Plateau doesn't even have a magic net, and it's a paradise for wanted criminals.
Therefore, a certain wanderer had been here for a long time when he was carrying seven wanted warrants, and he had developed the ability to deal with his ancestors.
Deboning and breaking tendons, very professional.
Dylan was amazed by the professionalism and skill of his technique.
And the ancestor is just one or more more ancestral spirits than the warrior, and the essence of the battle is no different.
So I couldn't move if I was picked and my bones were torn apart.
This horned man is still very energetic, and when he saw Mr. Sa, he scolded in lingua franca:
"Shameless coward! Cheap wild dogs! Despicable scoundrels! β
Teacher Xia couldn't help but exclaim: ", he knows a lot of words!" β
Then learn silently.
Heine looked at Mr. Sa curiously:
"What did you do to him?"
Mr. Sa typed lightly on the surface:
"It's nothing, he can't afford to lose."
But behind the scenes, there was a thunderstorm!
"Fuck, he jumped into the air and shook my dad out, I don't have all the skills, what else can I do? I'm sure one jumped up the tree and closed the door to herd the sheep! Is there a problem? β
"Closing the door to herd sheep?"
Catching sheep was confused for a while.
He couldn't tell whether Sa always scolded himself as a dog or praised him as his cyber father.
Has the brothers' attack evolved like this?
β¦
Heine didn't give the other party a chance to continue to have a bad mouth, he asked directly:
"Tell me the details of your participation in the Soul Calling Ritual when you were promoted."
The horned man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed:
"Despicable foreigner, don't dream, you can't possibly know these secrets! Don't think that if you take refuge in the dwarves and elves, you're not a hillbilly, you're just a dog they have after all! β
Heine smiled, ignoring his self-righteous suspicions.
"But I already know part of it."
He pointed to Farkas next to him, "He told me all about it just now." β
"Huh...... Do you believe the words of a coward, a deserter, and a liar? β
"Farkass." Heine looked over: "Say it again." β
Farkas didn't dare to look the horned man in the eye, and lowered his head and spoke quickly.
As soon as he spoke, the contempt in the horned man's eyes vanished.
He remembered the other man's identity for a momentβyes, it seemed like a young gladiator looked like that.
He was angry, then shocked, and finally terrified.
"How could it be...... How so? How could he tell this secret, the ancestors would punish the leaker, he ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly trembled violently.
It's like going through a torture!
"Whoaa
Blood-stained gelatinous soul matter poured out of his mouth and nose.
There was silence inside.
The last time I saw this scene was when Shin Naga drank the Lost Soul Water.
Soon, the horned man had completely stopped moving.
Heine had expected this, and he immediately looked at the other two captives.
Flathead and Carrick.
They were all awake.
This was shown to them by Heine.
Sure enough, the faces of the two "tough guys" showed strong shock.
I don't like death as much as I did at the beginning.
Heine smiled, "I'm going to talk to you two, but not here. β
β¦β¦
Lumberyard on the northern outskirts of Green Leaf Town.
This is already the office of Cuiye Court in Luye Town, and there is a small giant eagle's nest, next to which is a simple apron specially built for Heine.
In front of the Colosseum, Heine asked the flat-headed man to lie down.
Brother Pingtou thought he was going to die, and he struggled to tilt his neck:
"I ......"
"Don't talk yet, be careful that death comes out of your mouth."
Brother Pingtou still wanted to struggle, but Teacher Xia went up and stabbed the freshman dagger into his mouth.
As for why not use the withered dagger......
Ever since he found out that Ms. Dailene lived in it, his mindset had changed somewhat.
When everything was ready, Heine called out to the Yuan Ling soldiers to work, while staring intently.
Through the oral account of Farkas and the tragedy that happened to Niu Jiaoge, it has been basically proved that the "soul curse" of the ancestors is effective and judged in this way:
Before level five, you will die if you leak secrets on the Zanro Plateau, but not in the mountains of Maikara.
This is another proof of the "shielding theory".
After level five, with the shield in effect, Horn Brother died.
The reason can only be due to his "ancestral spirit".
It was this part of the supernatural power that carried the duty of overseer that killed him.
This cannot be masked.
As for the snake man Carrick, his ancestral spirit was broken by Heine and Teacher Xia.
As a result, Brother Pingtou became the only "complete" individual among the three.
Heine was ready to send the other party to the career hall and then know everything he wanted from him.
The Silver Colosseum appeared, but he was the only one who could see it.
But even so, the flat-headed brother who was in it was still shocked!
He struggled to speak, but was held back.
Soon, he was speechless.
The rich color of blood was stripped from the soul, and the smell of blood filled the entire cave.
This is obviously the power squeezed out of the soul of the flat head brother.
But in the eyes of the Yuanling soldiers, these are all impurities.
Heine summons the ghost horse, only to say it doesn't eat this.
"You're a picky eater......"
He had no choice but to use his spiritual power to compress this power.
But where do you get it?
The first few separations were followed by people on the spot.
Once it was the wind from Sabellia, and once it was the spiritual power from Squidward.
Now the preservation of this thing ......
Heine simply took out the bottle of anger and tried to pour it in.
Fortunately, the two sides are clearly divided.
A cloud of red liquid lay silently at the bottom of the bottle, out of place with the black hair around it.
Soon, this "stripping operation" was basically over.
This time, the mental power consumption was extraordinarily large, and Heine was almost drained.
As soon as he poured a bottle of recovery potion, the sudden scene in front of him shocked everyone-
The huge silver soul body exploded, and three illusory silver souls plunged into the magic circle one after another.
Good guys, triplets?
However, what is even more shocking is that there are two souls in this who look completely different from Brother Pingtou!
The latter is a badger, and the first two are a horse and a cow......
Teacher Xia: ", the ancestors of the ancestors...... Is evolution still involved? β
Catching sheep: "What kind of evolution is this...... I think we should do a paternity test. β
Seeing that Heine was about to enter the circle, Catch the Sheep hurriedly stepped forward:
"I want to go in too."
"And me"
"Me"
The Guardian Kite floated a "+1" in front of Heine.
Heine couldn't help but laugh:
"Let's go together."
He instructed Todd, who was next to him, to keep an eye on the captives, and he led the group into the circle.
β¦β¦
Interior of the Colosseum.
Three Zanluo people descended from the sky, and Nobita immediately greeted them enthusiastically.
"How are you doing, such a coincidence, dying on the same day?"
"Administrator, it's time for you to change the way you chat."
The floating head next to him quipped.
This is the Ringwraith of the Flying Ring, the Flying Soldier Tiger who lived in Sector 88 of Vitas decades ago.
This is obviously a guy who can do things, and he has already called Nobita a brother.
"Where is this?"
Brother Pingtou looked around vigilantly, and when he turned around and saw the two people standing behind him, he was immediately shocked and jumped!
"Who are you!?"
However, the two souls behaved in a daze, only taking two steps back in cringe, and did not respond.
"It seems that your friends are not as sober as you, are they from some piece of equipment?"
Nobita enthusiastically explained: "But it doesn't matter, they will recover after staying for a long time, I am the caretaker here...... Alas, how do you hit someone!? β
Nobita was knocked down with a punch by the flat-headed brother who came up and came up.
The latter was barely level four at this time, and his strength was not as good as Nobita's, but his combat skills far surpassed the opponent's.
Seeing this, Tiger hurriedly shouted, "I'm going to move the rescuers," and slipped away.
Seeing that the opponent was so unbeaten, Brother Pingtou was furious, and was about to step forward to tear the opponent, when he was suddenly forced back by an arrow.
More than that, the wind here doesn't seem to welcome you for a moment.
The wind in the forest blew from all directions, pushing and holding him in place.
Brother Pingtou yelled: "Who!? Have the ability to come out and go heads-up! β
"That's what you said."
An elf came out of the woods.
It was Sabellia, who had been transferred to the fourth rank by Heine after the last conversation.
After reconciling with himself and regaining his strength as a result, Jungle Wind did not seek Nobita's debts.
Those things are in the past.
And as he became normal, his relationship with Nobita became much more normal.
"You're just in time, give me a beating up!"
Nobita immediately ran over and hid behind him.
"Be careful, this Zanluo is very powerful!"
Sabellia tugged at the corners of her mouth and looked up at the other.
"Since you're here, settle down, you'll never have a chance to leave.
"If you're polite enough, this guy will not only tell you where this is, but he'll also build you a house."
The flat-headed brother frowned.
He could see that his opponent was a strong opponent.
And here...... It's weird everywhere.
Something strange was gradually wafting out of the woods.
Several silver flying heads, and a ...... What is this? Moloques?
"It's a sweet soul!"
Laiesapo suddenly rushed forward with a strange scream.
These new visitors give it a completely different feeling, and maybe you can suck their power out and let yourself escape!
Let me suck!
However, as it galloped, it crashed headlong into the black skeleton that suddenly appeared.
"It's you!?"
Squidward's soul was scared away.
But before it could escape, the Guardian Kite raised its hand and pulled it into a sea urchin.
"What's going on, why does it look like a fight?"
Mr. Sa couldn't help but wonder: "Do you think that this is very similar to the way you control Brother Pingtou?" β
Wei Diankite: "Indeed, then the question is, how did Teacher Xia break it?" β
Teacher Xia: "I don't know, Heine is." β
Catch the sheep: "Stop playing yet, let's get down to business." β
They communicate secretly, but in the eyes of Brother Pingtou, it is different.
Four skeletons suddenly appeared, and then brushed towards themselves in unison.
Brother Pingtou immediately faced the enemy.
He habitually looked behind him...... of cattle and horses.
The courage that had just been mentioned dissipated in an instant.
No, what about my dad and grandfather?
Heine's voice rang out in his heart.
"Why do your two 'ancestors' look like this?"
The skeleton also stopped.
Brother Pingtou was surprised: "You ...... Who are you? What do you mean? β
Heine: "I'm the master here, and here, you don't have to worry about being killed by the rules after a leak, because you're dead." β
Brother Pingtou was silent.
Although I had already guessed it, I was still a little unwilling.
"Are you also a soul priest?" He asked.
"Why do you say that?"
"How I felt before I died...... It's a lot like the Soul Summoning Ritual, but then we're called into a gladiatorial arena instead of a forest. β
"Hmm...... In fact, this is also a gladiatorial arena. Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, you look back at your 'ancestral spirits', do you know them? β
The flat-headed brother looked back at the pair of cows and horses.
He himself had a thick and long neck, and this horse-haired Zanro man was thicker than his neck.
Centaurs and deer people are abundant on the plateau, but most of them are centaurs.
A two-legged ...... like this
Wait a minute!
He suddenly remembered that on the day he participated in the spirit summoning ceremony, the number of people was odd, and he simply faced two enemies by himself......
Isn't it just these two guys who are extra up?
His heart sank, and he immediately looked at the guy with horns next to him.
A broken horn......
"No...... No way, I summoned my father and grandfather, how could it be these two people? The two of them are losers who were killed by my own hands, how could it be them!? β
The flathead roared in breakdown, clutching the horned man's neck.
As for the centaurs...... His neck was too thick for him to hold.
But everyone knows his shout.
Everyone present had heard of Zanlo's Ancestral Spirit Warrior and fell into deep thought.
Mr. Sa: "What do you mean, the ancestors summoned by the ancestors are all imposters, can the meaning genealogy be recognized randomly??" β
Catch the sheep: "But in this way, the player's ancestors are reasonable." There is also an explanation on the forum that the so-called ancestors are fantasized by the ancestors themselves, for example, the words of the father are the father in his memory, so the more you go up, the less you talk. β
Teacher Xia: "Huh? Aren't the ethical jokes of our ancestors unpleasant? β
Mr. Sa: "Your focus is a bit strange, but I do hear that the higher the seniority, the worse the memory." β
When everyone was talking openly or secretly, Brother Pingtou finally regained his calm.
It's not so much about recovery as it is about the heart like ashes.
"Are you still there?" He asked.
Heine: "What do you want to say?" β
"I'll tell you the whole story of the ritual of summoning, but before you do that, you'll have to deal with the threat from the plateau.
"I don't want me to tell a dead man my secret, I want you to answer."
Heine wondered, "Aren't these 100 people all your riders?" β
"Yes, but we still have the patriarch Ursa, who will come in person."
Heine was shocked: "Does he have a mount?" β
Flathead: "No, but we have the gliders we snatched from the dwarves." If he is determined to come, none of you will be able to stop him. Whether you're a dwarf or an elf, go and rescue them. β
This is indeed a problem.
Heine frowned, and the plan came from his heart.
He sent a group message to the four skeletons.
"Can you deal with Ursa?"
The work and rest are really normal, but the brain doesn't seem to wake up when people wake up, and the efficiency is very poor, but it's finally getting better, and I'll try to update it before 6 pm tomorrow!
