Chapter 260 Zehir and the Heavenly Court Dragon Guard
Chapter 260 Zehir and the Heavenly Dragon Guard
Everything went very smoothly after that. No enemies came to stop them along the way. Even some monsters fled after seeing such a large force.
After Li Wei returned to Blood Glory, settled them down, and assigned their respective tasks, everything was on track.
Li Wei did not take away all the reinforcements. Yu Yong still belonged to Zhou Miyin. There is nothing to say about this. Then he just supplemented the elves' troops. In this way, the overall size of his troops exceeded 500 people.
As for the Beemen, the Red Brotherhood and others, he stayed in the village.
On the other hand, he took two of the Sword Dancers from the Moon Singers. They could accompany the army and teach them sword skills and other knowledge about the Underdark.
And Li Wei felt that if he wanted to contact Moon Singer and Pamela as soon as possible when needed, it would be best to take them with him.
After giving some details to Nar and Alduin, and asking Qian Thief and Stump to help take care of them, he led his troops from another direction to try to return to the surface world.
After killing the troglodyte tribe, Naer did not seal the passage, because the threat never came from the passage, but from the troglodyte, so now Levi and the others can still use it as usual.
Cindy also reported the good news to him on the way. After hard work, she became more and more proficient in the field of power, and she mastered the new magic of ox brute force.
Levi is also very happy. Among the low- and mid-level magics, this magic's auxiliary ability for warriors is almost unparalleled. Four points of power is not a small number.
And it was foreseeable that as Cindy continued to learn, even if she could not become a heroic unit for the time being, she could at least learn 3 new skills. He was really looking forward to it.
Along the way, when passing by the abandoned cave of the troglodyte, the monitor Yakon unexpectedly discovered that there were signs of activity of other creatures there.
Levi didn't pay much attention at first, just thinking that some wild monsters were occupying this place, but soon he felt something was wrong, because the new ones were not wild monsters, but some snake people!
Looking at their ugly appearance, which looked like giant pythons growing limbs, Levi immediately confirmed that they must be the guys who had appeared in the Beast-Blooded Boiling Army before, the snake-men clan from the hinterland of Horace.
After all, it is related to snakes, and it is relatively rare to be as ugly as this. Medusa, the six-armed snake demon, etc., there are many beauties among them, and their upper bodies are even more likely to be better than those of ordinary human women. Only they are snakes.
It would be so ugly.
Li Wei immediately understood why they had never been found before, but then they suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
The hinterland of Horeth is on the surface world. It is far away from here, and overseas voyages also require a large circle. But if you pass through the Underdark, it is completely understandable that they appear here.
But Li Wei was still a little confused. Why did these guys come so far?
But no matter what, if you see these guys, it's always right to kill them first.
He immediately began to prepare for war. Since Zhou Miyin and others had gone deep into this lair before, they roughly knew the area inside and so on. Even if it was filled with snake people, their number and strength were still limited. They would definitely not
It was his own opponent, so Li Wei directly ordered his troops to launch a general attack.
As the arrows fell, even though the scales of the snake people were naturally resistant to such attacks, with such a huge gap in strength, they were still harvested in pieces like wheat in the field.
However, these snakemen are still very brave. Even if they are attacked, they are not as panicked as the goblins and others. Instead, they roar and fight back one by one.
And their number is not small. As they roar, new snake-men begin to emerge from the cave and join the battlefield.
At this time, Li Wei also noticed that unlike the ordinary snake warriors and snake warriors that they had killed before, this group of snake soldiers had more diverse types.
There are Snake Maniacs armed with giant swords, Snake Forerunners who are faster and can charge, skinny Snake Assassins, Snake Eyes armed with long bows, and even more than one legal profession among them.
The Curse of the Snake Man can use magic to poison the weapons of its allies, which is an alternative version of a magical weapon. It can also throw small venom spheres as an auxiliary weapon.
Snake Spellcasters have to put more emphasis on aggression. Their venom is not very powerful at first glance, but the advantage is that the duration and effect can be stacked. Once stacked to the highest level of 5, more than 10 points of life will be lost every second.
value.
Even a heroic unit known for its vitality like Elegy can't hold on for long, let alone the other subordinates.
But fortunately, Levi was well prepared. He had already warned Donna, Janet and others in advance, so almost as soon as the opponent appeared, the arrows were already coming, leaving them no chance to perform.
Even if occasionally one of their subordinates was unfortunately poisoned, the priests would immediately perform purification, so everything went smoothly. There were more and more corpses of the snake people, but the threat to Li Wei and the others was always minimal.
But Li Wei was not completely relieved, because he had already seen that the snake people of this size were probably a tribe that had migrated from other places. Even if there were no heroic units among them, there would definitely be a few.
An elite exists.
As if to prove his guess, soon with a roar, two guys who were much larger than the other snake men emerged from the depths of the cave.
One of them is an enlarged version of the snake-man holding a staff, and the other has a completely different body shape from the snake-man. It is thicker and much more ferocious.
It is covered in pitch-black scales, holds a giant trident, and has several umbrella-shaped rings on its neck. It is a level 4 unit - Naga Thug.
However, the Naga who traveled with the Snake Man was either bewitched and corrupted, or was a heretic with some dark attributes.
Because the god of the snake people and the Naga goddess are in a long-term state of hostility, the relationship between them is similar to the relationship between the dwarves and the green skins. It is not serious enough to need to go out to find each other and start a war, but once they are in the wild
In the event of an encounter, basically only one party can survive.
Looking at the lights of several kinds of magic hanging on their bodies, Levi knew that they must have been ready to fight before they came out.
"Shield of Zehir!"
Following this shout, the giant elite snake man also waved his staff vigorously, twisting his body as if dancing. Then he waved his staff, and a green, light energy that seemed to have a fishy smell enveloped it.
On the snake man in the front row.
It is almost visible to the naked eye that the damage caused by the Silver Guards and Archers to them has been reduced a little bit, really a little bit, and it may only increase the defense by two or three points.
But after doing all this, the elite snake man seemed extremely happy and seemed to have received some kind of encouragement. Then it used magic again, as if it wanted to launch a counterattack.
If the other party has wisdom, there is the possibility of communication. Levi waved his hand towards Donna, indicating to her not to kill the other party directly, but to try to obtain some information.
"Hey, snake people over there, where did you migrate from, and how dare you run wild in our territory?"
As soon as he said these words, even the snake man, who is a cold-blooded creature, was furious on the spot.
I finally found an abandoned cave with a good location, and just when I was about to settle down, I was attacked by you, and now I'm the one running wild?
"Damn elves, you are declaring war on us snake people. May Zehir's poison corrode your body!"
While shouting and cursing like this, the elite snake man waved his staff and threw a green energy sphere with a diameter of more than half a meter, which exploded in the position of the silver guards, staining their bodies with the same color.
.
But Li Wei didn't even look at it. With so many priests and druids around, their lives were not in any danger at all.
He just quickly searched for the name Zehir in his mind, especially related to snakes, snake-men and other related gods, but in the end he found nothing.
So he tried: "Oh? Zehir? But I have never heard of this name?"
The elite snake man suddenly became furious: "Bold, heretic, you dare to call my god by his name!"
Then it pointed at Levi fiercely: "Look, this is the power given by my god, Zehir's distortion!"
No energy flew out, but Levi felt that his spirit seemed to be lightly touched, and then a system prompt popped up, saying that the other party had performed some kind of mental or spiritual magical attack, but because
The gap in intelligence and level between the two parties prevented him from causing any harm.
But despite this, Levi can already confirm that the Zehir mentioned by the other party is probably a real god, because the key word is divine magic, not magic.
Usually only true gods can bestow divine magic on their loyal followers. Even if the magic is very weak in the opponent's hands, it is still divine magic after all.
Seeing that Li Wei didn't seem to be affected in any way, the elite snake man was stunned: "Why don't you? My god is invincible!"
Roaring like this, the elite snake man once again sprayed out a large amount of venom and protective magic. Although the effect was minimal, it could be seen that it was indeed working hard.
At this time, the Dark Naga thug also roared and rushed towards the melee troops, but unfortunately, it chose the wrong target.
Even though its body was extremely large and covered with muscles, and it looked very powerful, it still couldn't easily shake Zhou Miyin, who was well prepared. Once the Hold Skill was activated, it couldn't repel him at all.
Cindy next to her conveniently used the Giant Transformation Technique and the brute force of a bull on Zhou Miyin, and now it was Zhou Miyin who was pressing the opponent down and beating him violently.
Although his advancement speed is not that fast compared to Cindy, participating in battles so frequently has also honed his combat skills and experience. To a certain extent, this is no better than 1:2 attributes.
Bad luck.
Levi tried several times to continue to obtain information from the elite snake people, but the other party would only talk about its Zehir and not other valuable things at all, so he could only wave his hand and signal to Donna that it was okay.
Kill the opponent.
He doesn't know the meaning of this name for the time being, but he can give the information to Mikaela, to the Moonbow Temple, etc.
However, is there a relationship between the Snake Cult and the Snake People? Could these Snake People be bewitched by the old black dragon from the hinterland of Horace?
But after thinking about it, Li Wei felt that it was impossible.
Not to mention that the old black dragon has not yet officially become a god, and it is almost impossible to have the ability to bestow magical powers on snake people. The members of the snake worshiping cult under it seem to be unable to get anything useful from it except gold coins and poison.
ability.
What's more important is that the snake people in the hinterland of Horeth actually have their own gods, who have many arrogant titles such as "The Great Serpent", "The Great Serpent" and "The Hissing Teeth".
Snake God-Mershok.
Although the intelligence of snake people is generally low, the power of faith they can contribute is far inferior to that of humans. Many snake people kingdoms also frequently go to war with each other, so the number of snakes in them is not large.
But this snake god still almost dominates the faith of all the snake people in the hinterland of Horeth, and he is a god with medium divine power.
With the ability and wisdom that the old black dragon has shown so far, does it really have the courage to compete with the other party for faith?
This is not at the same level as the difficulty of corrupting some human nobles and secretly developing a sect.
Therefore, the most likely possibility is that this Zehir is probably a vest of a certain god, specially fabricated in order to compete for faith.
This happened not once or twice in the past history. The faith provided by many intelligent creatures in the main world is crucial to most gods. For more power of faith, for more people
Believers, all kinds of conflicts and struggles are no longer inevitable.
But sometimes the opponent is too powerful. In order to avoid being caught on the spot, the gods will make some vests. In this way, even if the opponent is really discovered, he can directly shirk responsibility or run away before the opponent finds out.
In Li Wei's view, this can basically be equated to: Lu Xun is secretly competing with you for followers. What does this have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?
Well, if we change the direction, is it possible that this snake god has changed his vest and wants to take the initiative?
After all, there is the Cathay Kingdom to the north of the hinterland of Horeth, and there are monkeys, tigers, pandas and many other races that tend to be lawful or good. They are natural enemies of the snake people of the chaotic evil camp.
The Indy Dynasty and the island country Nibon, facing each other across the sea, performed poorly when facing the Cathay Dynasty, but they still had a large number of people.
One of them claims to be the land of thousands of Buddhas, and the other claims to have eight million gods. It is not something that snake people can just mess with.
From this point of view, the upper limit of their development has actually been locked, so it is not incomprehensible if the snake god changes direction and tries to march towards the Dark Territory.
After all, snake people don't rely solely on their eyes to see, and their combat effectiveness is hardly affected in the dark.
While she was thinking about it, Donna had already dealt with the elite snake man with a smile. No matter whether it was level 4 or level 5, it made no difference in front of her arrows. It didn't even let out a cry before death.
It has been instantly killed.
Cindy and Dirge also made a killing in the snake-men camp, and the new night elves worked particularly hard. This was their first battle under Li Wei, so they naturally had to show their strength.
Although the remaining snake people are still fighting hard, it is of no use at all. It is just delaying their death.
The reinforcements deep in the cave are not as continuous as they were at the beginning. It can be seen that their number of combatable troops is rapidly decreasing. If no unexpected situation occurs, within a quarter of an hour, they will be completely defeated.
Defeated.
After a quick scan, Li Wei felt very satisfied when he saw that Zhou Miyin had quickly suppressed his opponent by virtue of his restraint on large creatures, as well as his equipment, buff status, and combat experience.
I don't know if he got some advice from his tribe when he went to Zhoujiazhai. Although his attributes and skills have not changed in any way, his actual combat ability has obviously been slightly improved.
Taking another look at his experience panel, Levi knew that if this battle went well and he killed another dozen or twenty snakemen, he would have advanced enough.
So he issued two orders, telling the shooters not to fight for his head, and asking the priests to take special care of him.
Zhou Miyin indeed lived up to Li Wei's expectations and quickly successfully killed his opponent.
Once the two strongest members died, the remaining legal units were also wiped out. No matter how cruel and belligerent the snake people were, their morale finally dropped significantly. Many weaker snake people had already begun to move towards the four sides.
slipped away into the darkness below.
Levi didn't care at all. Luna had already been on the lookout with the huntresses. This time, she was given so many young girls at once, and coupled with the excellent qualities she had always shown,
There is no suspense in killing these deserters.
He just summoned the Angels of Courage, and then asked them to act together with the legions of Archons led by Xiao Tian.
In order to kill the enemy, these guys are too reckless, and even ignore their own safety and follow others to act.
As for himself, he did not use large-scale magic. The strength of these snake people was still a bit low. He no longer valued their experience points, so he might as well provide them to his subordinates.
However, despite not using all their strength, in less than half a quarter of an hour, the snakemen on the frontal battlefield were still completely defeated.
The remaining snake-men either sneaked into the darkness and tried to escape, and were then surrounded and killed by Luna and the huntresses, or they retreated back into the cave.
Li Wei sighed lightly, really, wouldn't it be better if he had to waste time here and die obediently?
After thinking about it, he summoned a few fire elements and asked them to cooperate with Zhou Miyin and the heavenly creatures to enter the cave again, encircle and suppress the remaining snake people, and pay attention to all the information about Zehir.
Elemental creatures are not afraid of ordinary venom, and can also provide light for Zhou Miyin and the others, which is perfect for this situation.
Fortunately, the remaining people in the cave were probably the old, weak, sick and disabled, so he was not kept waiting too long this time. After Luna reported that all the snake people who tried to escape were successfully killed, within a few minutes
, Zhou Miyin and the others ran out again with excitement on their faces.
Li Wei also received the battle evaluation indicating that the battle was completely over, as well as the expected news that Zhou Miyin was about to advance.
Zhou Miyin also knew this immediately, and the smile on his face suddenly became brighter.
"Sir, we found many corpses of bugbears inside, as well as some gold coins, as well as a construction drawing for recruiting the second-level unit - Snake Whisperer and a poisonous giant sword."
Levi suddenly raised his eyebrows. He didn't particularly care about that harvest. It was valuable, but the value was really not high, not worth a few gold coins.
What he really paid attention to was that these snake-men and bugbears appeared at the same time among the beast-blooded troops, but in private they were in a competitive and hostile relationship?
Unfortunately, there is still too little information at present, and the reasonable inferences that can be made are very limited. We can only exchange relevant information with other people.
And the things in front of me are not trivial.
"Zhou Miyin, you are ready to advance. What do you have in mind this time?"
Like last time, this time Zhou Miyin still has three advanced directions, and each has different characteristics.
If it were an ordinary subordinate, Li Wei would naturally help make the decision, but this time it was Zhou Miyin. As usual, he decided to give the other party the right to choose independently, even if he had already seen the best choice at a glance.
Branch 1, Cathay Feather Guard, is a special unit responsible for guarding the emperor or the palace and other security tasks. It is a heavy-armored unit that is good at offense and has defensive capabilities. It can use Guandao or long spear as weapons, and requires 2.2 gold coins;
Branch 2, Changyuan Cavalry, is a high-level cavalry unit that uses exotic spears as weapons. It is extremely powerful when charging and has an armor-breaking effect on its attacks. It requires 2 gold coins;
Branch 3, Heavenly Dragon Guard, only the most elite warriors can get the opportunity to join the many legions under the Dragon God and become their loyal guards. At the same time, using halberds and shields as weapons requires 3.5 gold coins.
"Of course it's the Heavenly Dragon Guard!" Zhou Miyin said without hesitation.
So a few seconds later, Zhou Miyin's image changed drastically. A thick shield with a diameter of more than a foot appeared in his left hand, and a spurt several meters long with a cold light shining in his right hand.
When the troops advance, if they are wearing the equipment that was given to them for free during the last upgrade, it will be directly replaced by the system. If they are equipped by themselves, the system will not take care of it, but will give them a set as usual.
.
According to Li Wei's understanding, most of the gold coins spent when advancing are actually used to buy equipment.
Li Wei has not studied the relevant information carefully, so he is not sure for the time being whether it is an ordinary crescent halberd or the legendary Fang Tian Painted Halberd, but this does not hinder his admiration at all. Now Zhou Miyin, who has a shield on the left and a halberd on the right, also
He is indeed quite heroic and handsome.
For a long time, in addition to their relatively slow speed, the most imperfect aspect of the Jade Halberdiers was that they did not have shields. When they were attacked by enemies from a distance, they would suffer heavy casualties, but now the Heavenly Dragon Guard has perfectly made up for this.
And looking at all races, among the level 0-5 troops that have been revealed, how many units are there that can use halberds as weapons and also carry shields?
As far as Li Wei knew, there were only three types: the temple guards of the guardian lizard men, the heavenly dragon guards of the Cathay Celestial Empire, and the ancient tomb guards of the ancient tomb kings. They could be counted on one hand.
The first two are both level 5 rare units, and they are definitely not too common in the troops of high-level aboriginals. The latter is a bit awkward, it is only a level 3 unit, and it is still a relatively weak unit at the same level.
But anyway, this can slightly reflect their rarity.
After advancing, Zhou Miyin gained two new skills, single-wielding two-handed weapons-halberd and shield specialization.
Then, in addition to improvements in attributes and other aspects, his original skills were also strengthened.
His Spear Skill Specialization became Halberd Skill Specialization. At the same time, the effect on guns and halberds, resisting charges, anti-large, armor-piercing and other skills have also been strengthened.
In this way, even if you don't look at the actual combat results and just look at the superficial data, he is suddenly much stronger than before.
Unfortunately, it didn't make Li Wei happy for long, as the system reminded him that Zhou Miyin's potential had been exhausted and he could no longer advance.
It seems that he has to prepare a hero spirit for the opponent as soon as possible, so that he can truly command Yu Yong and other melee troops!
