The Benefits of the Ancestors——Zhu Xie Nai San Chapter 21: The Front of the Barbarian Tribe
Time moves forward slightly, and there is a burned-out grassland at the foot of a large mountain on the southern border of Ndigon. The dwarf warriors of the Barbarian Tribe and hundreds of human adventurers or mercenaries are uniting to fight against a corrupted hobgoblin with more than 10,000 members.
community.
There are goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, elite hobgoblin berserkers, goblin wolf cavalry, and armored hobgoblin lizard cavalry.
Alexander, Zate, Dinefel and Karin, as one of the two A-level mercenary groups, after a week of high-intensity fighting, were still assigned to an evil creature with a strong dragon blood content.
, that is a huge earth dragon.
After being corrupted, this evil creature was covered with dark red tentacles. It was very disgusting and terrifying. This guy had just eaten an entire B-level mercenary group.
At this time, the earth dragon was still about 500 feet away from the battle line. Although the distance was a bit far, the maximum range of the longbow was a full 600 feet. Alexander's two arrows, frost arrows wrapped with thunder and lightning, nailed the evil thing.
His body caused those tentacles to swing wildly and meaninglessly.
As the earth dragon approached to a distance of more than 300 feet, Carlin drew the dwarf heavy crossbow, pointed it at the earth dragon in the distance and pulled the trigger. The power of a single giant crossbow with flame and magic-breaking enchantment exceeded
Alexander's two-arrow magic shot.
Zate took out the snare drum and transformed the hymn that had been used to restore everyone's injuries into an impassioned war song. Alexander looked at the distance and felt that there was no need to move forward, so he stayed still for the time being, and continued to charge again while the earth dragon continued to charge.
Two bolts of lightning were shot.
Dinefel, who could only fight in close combat, was still just dragging his weapon with his psychic powers and waiting.
After the ballista fired an arrow, it could no longer be used temporarily, so Kalin activated the energy shield and found an iron horse as a bunker, then switched to a short-barreled musket.
Zate transformed into a giant wolf and used the melody of the bard to perform some kind of mind-affecting magic to attack the earth dragon. But how powerful the magic can be, even the icing on the cake can't do it...
Seeing the thing getting closer, Alexander tried to observe it to see if she could tell anything. After all, she and Karin had attacked it five times before, but it didn't seem to have much effect.
But Alexander could only see that those surface tentacles were in a highly active state. Since the lightning effect was not strong, in addition to positive energy, she thought that the flame effect would be better.
"I think this thing is afraid of fire, and it's best to stay away from it and prepare to retreat." After that, Alexander added two ordinary frost arrows, but the magic power was not enough. She said retreat, but left Kappa and others.
He looked like he couldn't move away, and it wasn't easy for him to move. He gritted his teeth and didn't move. He just turned the emblem into a shield and prepared to accept the impact.
When the earth dragon approached within a hundred feet, it opened its mouth with several tentacles and sprayed out a very fast fire bomb.
But Alexander and Karin were already prepared to protect their vital points with shields. Dinefel opened up his spiritual shield to resist, while Zate avoided most of the bursting flames and was only burned to the skin——
There's nothing wrong with the giant wolf's physical condition, it just has a mushy smell.
Dinefel flew sixty-five feet at low altitude and high speed, and struck the ground dragon with his forehand. The psychic extension, the chain tied to the handle of the knife, and the extreme extension of the weapon were enough to allow his attack to reach thirty-five feet.
Cutting off dozens of tentacles from a foot away. Then using precise control of psychic energy, the chain was slightly swung. As a result, the long knife fell from top to bottom and instantly cut off dozens of tentacles.
Then Dinefel planned to retreat a little distance first, but the moment the earth dragon was attacked, those tentacles swung at high speed and extended towards Dinefir, carrying out continuous attacks in a certain way.
This broke Denefel's psychic shield and sent him flying to several people, but fortunately he did not hit the horse.
Seeing that the tentacles that had been cut off and fell to the ground were still jumping around, Kalin immediately moved sideways to try to include the tentacles on the earth dragon and the tentacles on the ground. He blasted the two piles of twisting and exploding flames with explosive shots.
Turned many tentacles into ashes, praise!
Zate performed the final scraping, and used the bard's trick again to cause weak damage...
While drawing the bow and shooting, Alexander felt a little headache when he saw that Karin and Zate had no intention of running away. "Karin, Zate, be careful, be ready to run at any time." Then she retreated fifteen feet slightly to avoid being caught.
The evil creature's range attack is one of a kind.
After pulling out the eighth arrow, Alexander activated the active enchantment on his bow. The powerful frost froze several tentacles off, and more than half of the tentacles on the Porcelain Bowl Earth Dragon's body had been damaged by the four people.
The Earth Dragon once again approached forty feet, then aimed its tentacles straight ahead, and then launched a large number of blood-red energy beams from the tips of the tentacles. These energy beams were extremely fast and very dense.
All three of them were seriously injured. Then the Earth Dragon turned its head and aimed the tentacles in its mouth at Karin. This time, instead of shooting an energy beam, the tentacles stretched out and stabbed him directly, piercing his side.
After using psychic energy to strengthen the defense on the surface of his head, Dinefel rushed forward twenty-five feet and continued to slash with the previous extended attack. Although the damage was still significant, he was knocked back a hundred feet by the tentacles again.
Seeing that the Earth Dragon still posed a huge threat, Kalin did not bother to save the charge of his magic equipment, and fired two consecutive explosive shots. The two exploding fireballs burned out the tentacles, and the explosion itself also knocked the Earth Dragon down from the side, but it was still
not dead.
Alexander took this opportunity to shoot an arrow at the earth dragon's head, entering from the eye socket and destroying the crystal core that must have been possessed by this dragon that had been corrupted into an evil thing.
In the end, the corpse quickly turned to ashes under the light and was blown by the wind to the entire battlefield and even further.
"Are you dead?" Alexander slowly put down the tenth arrow that had been attached to the bowstring, dissipated the shield and walked forward. "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." At this time, Zate had already released his transformation.
"It's...no big deal. It's too reckless." Carlin began to drink the healing potion, and the injury on his abdomen had already stained his linen trousers red.
"I trust your judgment, but no matter what, you still have to pay attention to safety." Alexander said looking at Carlin, who was the most seriously injured.
"Understood." After the bleeding stopped, Karin carefully put away his firearm, walked far around the place where the dragon corpse disappeared, and joined his teammates.
Dinefel also used his spiritual power to seal the wound that was still bleeding faintly.
Zate sang a hymn in a low voice to restore everyone's energy. It would be better to sing a healing hymn here.
There was nothing Karin could do for the moment, so he sorted out his equipment a little while being wary of other monsters that might appear around him.
After Alexander recovered his magic power a little, he went to see if there was anything left where the dragon corpse disappeared.
And during the time when everyone was taking a breather after finishing their work, only a few keel bones were left that were not burned... and three three-foot-long keel bones were harvested.
The battles on other fronts are also over or coming to an end. These monsters are really not vegetarians. The four of them feel sore all over. After fighting for so long, it seems that they can sleep well today.
Alexander looked to see if there was anyone else who needed support, and shot a few arrows within 600 feet. "The fight took too long, why are there so many of these things?"
Our leader estimated that these monsters came from underground, and it was obvious that most of the ruins were underground. It seemed that it was not long before the wild-haired dwarves discussed countermeasures. Seeing that no one responded to her, she took aim at Alexander and started the topic: "It looks like these
Things are crawling out of the ground. If we don't dig out their nests, we don't know how long it will take to get rid of them." But no one still cared about this matter.
Carlin noticed that after the battle, other combatants began to gather with each other and exchange information. Sure enough, after the battle was completely over, the base camp sent a rotation team to replace four people, and asked one person to participate in the meeting, and the others could rest.
Or exchange information or something.
Alexander communicated with the rotating people, then led the team back to the base camp, and then went to attend the meeting on behalf of the mercenary group.
Dinefel went to a resting place to eat, drink, and take a nap. Zate went to the crowd of people who were talking about each other to find out information and listen to what the nearby people were talking about, but this guy attracted too much attention.
So she heard almost no useful information, only complaints and cries of pain during treatment, so she had to sing hymns to treat these deliberately pretending adventurers and mercenaries.
Carlin also took advantage of Alexander to attend the meeting and returned to the crowd to listen to everyone's opinions on the battle just now and if there was anything worth noting.
Kalin wasn't just a beautiful girl. Since a few people didn't kill many ordinary goblins, other mercenaries told Kalin that the corrupted goblins were definitely not mentally corrupted, but physically corrupted.
Another point is that these goblins fight without any rules. Local adventurers and mercenaries know very well that the goblins have a certain amount of intelligence, and the hobgoblins have intelligence close to that of normal humans.
The cooperation between these goblins has been completely lost, and instead their physical abilities have been greatly improved. This improvement is destructive to them and will slowly overdraw their vitality.
There are even some goblins who are so skinny that they are still fighting crazily. The fighting instinct exceeds the eating instinct, which is strange.
The degree of corruption is too high, that is, it will be destroyed only when it is completely evil. The earth dragon that the four people fought before was not completely evil, otherwise not even the dragon bones would be left.
After a conversation, Carlin learned the general situation and continued to wander among the crowd, waiting for the meeting to end, and stopped talking to others.
The atmosphere in Alexander's conference room was very serious. The main content of the meeting was to allocate the defense team and the exploration team.
Although for Alexander and others, it was definitely the latter, but there were many teams who were unwilling to choose the latter, and everyone in the conference room almost got into a quarrel. Fortunately, the savage-haired dwarf patriarch had legendary strength, and a heavy ax struck him.
Everyone was stunned by the table. It was a very hard natural granite table, and it cracked when it cracked.
Since Alexander's team has always been very cheerful, the leader of the Barbarian Mangans also regarded these four people as role models. This dwarf was also honest and could win people's hearts. He used his own money to reward several teams that defended well.
It doesn't matter whether you want money or medicine or equipment. Alexander said that he had just experienced a purchase before, which caused financial difficulties for the team. It would be better to give some money. However, if the base camp is also in urgent need of money, other options are also acceptable.
So in the end she got one hundred and fifty Lindsays. This was more or less, which was very appropriate. Alexander politely thanked the patriarch for his generosity, and then looked at what else to say in the meeting, but the next step was
some irrelevant content.
When Alexander was ending the meeting, he asked the dwarf clan leader who would be better suited to process the dragon bones. When it came to forging, it was definitely the Lekia clan, as they were all staying in the royal capital.
There is no one in the base camp to do this work, but there are only ordinary blacksmiths who repair weapons for ordinary adventurers and mercenaries. Using dragon bones would be a waste of this good material. Alexander thanked him again and said goodbye and went back.
I told my teammates about this situation.
"I didn't hear any information here. Most of them were complaints and cries during treatment." Zate realized with hindsight that those guys might have done it on purpose, but Dinefel even tried to comfort him.
None, just waiting for notification.
After Karin wandered around for a while, he returned to his teammates, and Alexander happened to be there too. So he told everyone about the goblin infection. "The people over there said that the goblins they encountered this time had their bodies corrupted.
Moreover, the corruption has affected their intelligence and physical instincts. Those tentacles will give the corrupted people strong physical strength, but by overdrawing their lives."
While talking about the information, Karin followed Alexander's footsteps. "It sounds a bit like being parasitized. This kind of thing is quite disgusting. We'd better make some preparations in advance." After she finished speaking, she quickened her pace and planned to
Went to take a look around to see what was on sale at the base camp. Dinefel and Zate did not follow.
