Although Wang Jierui was also alert, when he saw the performance of the generals and priests, he knew something was wrong, so he took the lead in retreating.
But no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't be as fast as Li Wei, who was riding a griffon.
First the ice storm slowed down, then the ice wall blocked the road, and finally the black tentacles + steel restraints, Wang Jierui was immediately frozen in place, and his companions and subordinates were also unable to move.
Those slave rats and clan rats who served as cannon fodder began to die in droves.
At the same time, Luna also pursued them with a large number of huntresses. Under Luna's excellent command, the huntresses who have survived to this day are at least level 4 after such frequent battles.
Coupled with the mounts under their crotches, even ordinary storm rats would be almost impossible to defeat them in a duel, let alone other rat people.
And when Levi summoned a large number of poisonous scorpion guards, they gave up the idea of escape through underground passages.
The female rat-man next to her still carried the dimension stone and raised her gun, wanting to continue resisting, but the priest who followed Levi on a skeleton horse had already thrown out a light net at the right time.
So she was instantly silenced.
Although he is much worse than the one Teclis picked up at his fingertips, and even needs to continuously cast spells, he still has no problem dealing with a God-chosen hero whose level is not as good as his.
As for the hero units under the opponent's hand, they are either warriors or assassins. In this case, they cannot exert much power at all.
Instead, the male onmyoji used some wind or fire spells in order to change the situation.
But it was obvious that due to the huge difference in strength between him and Li Wei, his resistance seemed so weak.
However, he seemed to be a summoner. He quickly vomited a few mouthfuls of blood as a sacrifice and summoned a giant wheel with burning flames all over and a big bald head in the middle, which barely broke the shackles of the ice.
Gave them a chance to breathe.
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The ordinary model of this kind of monster called Lun Enter Dao is very average, but with the attribute of flames, this thing can barely be regarded as an entry-level high-level monster. It should have the strength of a fifth-level elite.
.
The other party cast spells one after another, summoning several ape ghosts holding big guns and horns on their heads, as well as two mud wall monsters that looked like stone walls, surrounding them.
The strength of these two kinds of monsters is not very strong, and their characteristic is that they are relatively resistant to beatings. But after summoning so many monsters in such a short period of time, the Onmyoji can be considered to be somewhat powerful.
There was also a female monster holding a folding umbrella, which fired a series of poisonous needles. Even the Tiger Envoy and others were inevitably poisoned, slowed down, weakened and other effects. It seemed that she should be a heroic unit.
In addition, there is a small and exquisite looking red fox, riding on a bamboo tube and floating about one meter above the ground.
It used the bamboo tube as a musket, spraying out balls of flames, and the power was pretty good.
Unfortunately, compared with Levi, it is far behind.
Because in just a few seconds, Onmyoji discovered that there were already fifty or sixty celestial beings with different appearances around them, but they all looked very strong.
Looking at Levi's summoning speed, he was even more stunned.
He summoned these monsters one by one, and he had to pay a certain price afterwards.
But the other party summoned a whole team, and it was almost instantaneous!
He immediately turned his head and glared at Wang Jierui. Although he didn't say anything, his anger was clearly conveyed: "Who are you recruiting? You have to provoke this kind of guy?"
But Wang Jierui had no time to pay attention to him for the time being, and even now, the helplessness in his heart had gradually surpassed his resentment towards Li Wei.
"Levi, why are you again?"
My family knows their own affairs, and after the failure of this sneak attack, the elite power of the Rotten Clan here may be lost overnight.
Next, the road to the ratman's lair will be clear to the opponent.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, he was the first to hurriedly retreat, just to conserve more power.
Of course, it's not just that.
But now that the other party has caught up with him, not only will his thoughts be unable to be realized, but he may not be able to be kind today either.
Levi chuckled: "It seems that you are resisting me, but in fact there is no need, because we have no essential conflict."
He really didn't deceive the other party, because his original purpose was just the Nine Scrolls of Nagash, while Khalida wanted to remove the cancer that the Vampire Queen left here - the Silver Blood Army.
Although they felt that something was wrong with the ratmen at the Peak of Resentment, they really did not expect that this place would be an important base for the Corrupt Clan.
It can only be said that the sneak attack of the rat people exposed them in advance.
Wang Jierui subconsciously wanted to refute: "How is that possible, said Earl Edward."
But halfway through, he also felt that something was not right, because from beginning to end, they listened to each other's words instead of getting the information themselves.
I don’t know what happened, but the rat warlords and rat prophets here easily believed it based on a few words from the other party, and cooperated with each other to send troops together.
When they felt something was wrong, Edward died neatly in the opponent's hands, which made it difficult for them to ride.
Later, the other party followed them all the way and they had nowhere to escape even if they wanted to.
Jerry Wang couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, there must be something wrong with that Edward!"
At this time, the female rat man who had been silent also spoke: "Maybe, he is not Edward."
Levi immediately smiled and nodded: "It seems that you are not stupid, it's just your heads. Are those aborigines fooled by vampires?"
Seeing that Li Wei had no intention of taking action immediately, but instead communicated with them here, although he was still a little uneasy, Wang Jierui gradually relaxed a little.
He nodded and said: "Yes, our military positions are not high enough and we can only obey orders, so don't blame us, Li Wei."
Levi waved his hand: "Of course, I have never blamed you, it's just that we have different positions."
He really never hated the other party. If the other party hadn't tried to rob the Cathay caravan before, how could he have established relations with the northern provinces of Cathay and the Yuan family so quickly?
Wang Jierui's mind suddenly became more active, and he consciously heard something of Li Wei's meaning: "Then you want us."
Levi smiled: "As I just said, we have no essential conflict. What Khalida wants to kill are the indigenous people, not the chosen heroes."
"So, if you can point the way to the Corrupt Clan's lair here, and even the location of the Silver Blood Army's lair, I can guarantee that not only will I be able to let you live, Khalida may even give you some rewards."
This is really not just nonsense. In Khalida's view, the Vampire Queen and her subordinates are the real life and death enemies.
In comparison, these ratmen are just a little trouble and some moving organ jars.
What's more, Wang Jierui and the others are God's chosen heroes and cannot be killed completely easily, so she is too lazy to be so serious.
If the other party can help her successfully defeat the Silver Blood Army, she really may give him a reward. Anyway, with so many gem mines, she really has no idea about ordinary small money.
Wang Jerry's heart suddenly pounded. Now everyone knows that even if the God's Chosen Heroes can be resurrected, it will not be all without cost.
If you die multiple times in a short period of time, the level limit may be permanently lowered.
Not to mention the impact on their subordinates after they died in battle.
Races with higher morale and loyalty such as dwarves may be relatively less affected.
But based on the nature of the rat people, once he dies in battle, all the ordinary rat people will probably run away, and even the rat heroes under his command will feel strange.
Because compared with other races, the heroes of the rat race have a very special attribute - loyalty.
The quality and quantity of their direct subordinates, the granting or deprivation of equipment, the success of the war, and most importantly, the life and death of the chosen heroes will all have varying degrees of impact on their loyalty.
If their loyalty is too low, they will not just run away, they may even lead their troops to rebel directly.
So if you can avoid dying, it's better not to die.
However, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he turned around and muttered a few words to his two companions, and then turned around and started bargaining with Li Wei.
"You can lead the way. We happen to know the location of the Silver Blood Army's lair, because it is said that the place where they stayed was dug out with the help of us rat people."
"But in addition to ensuring our safety, we have other conditions."
Li Wei's smile remained unchanged: "Oh, are you trying to corrupt the things in the clan's lair?"
The other party was so eager to run away just now, apart from seeing that the war was not going well, it was only because of this reason.
The betrayal among the Skaven natives is endless, and the Chosen Heroes will only intensify it.
Seeing that Li Wei spoke so directly, Wang Jierui didn't bother to beat around the bush. He simply nodded: "Yes, for you, those things are worthless, but for me, they are very precious, and I am determined to get them."
If he could get all the research information of the Corrupted Clan here, even if this nest was destroyed, it would not be a big deal, because then he could completely establish a brand new clan by himself!
Li Wei has nothing to do with it. The rat people do not use gold coins as currency, and their equipment or skills are basically only applicable to the rat people.
Theoretically, even if he raids the other party's house, he can only get some experience points, and there are few other things that can be really useful.
Using trophies that he has never obtained and which are of no use at all in exchange for the other party's cooperation is a profit no matter how you calculate it.
"Okay, as long as you can, if it's something related to the rat people, I can leave it to you to handle."
Wang Jerry nodded: "One more thing. If the original plan is followed, the leader of the rat people here should have brought the latest masterpiece of the Corrupt Clan - the Lair Dreadrat to attack Khalida."
"If it was not killed by Khalida, I hope you can help me kill it."
"Dream rat?"
This is another brand-new word that Li Wei has never heard of. It seems that without realizing it, the Corrupt Clan is really playing new tricks.
"Well, you can understand it as a monster that combines the size of an ankylosaurus, the appearance of a crocodile, the characteristics of a ghoul, and the cunningness of a mouse."
"Although the Corruption Clan is not currently in mass production, they may be stronger than ordinary rat trolls. They are war beasts between level 5 and 6 with extremely tenacious vitality."
Even if he doesn't tell them, as long as they appear on the battlefield, Li Wei will naturally get relevant information very quickly, so Wang Jierui doesn't mind being a favor.
Levi narrowed his eyes slightly. Even if mass production is not possible, if the rat people have behemoths of this level, they will still be willing to stay in the most desolate areas, or under human towns, and make a living by picking up garbage in the sewers.
Are you alive?
"Okay, I agreed. It won't be too late. Let's set off immediately, first to the Silver Blood Army's lair, and then to the Rat Man's lair."
When Li Wei said this, Wang Jierui suddenly became anxious: "This won't work, we must go to the rat man's lair first!"
Seeing Li Wei's half-smiling look, Wang Jierui gritted his teeth again, but now, the situation was no longer under his control.
He could only tell the whole story: "The rat men's lair is less than three miles away from here. It is precisely for this reason that the rat men came out in full force to attack Khalida."
"If we go to the Silver Blood Army's lair first, by the time I come back, I'm afraid it will have been emptied out by other ratmen."
Levi then nodded: "But if that's the case, then I can't hand over all the loot to you right away. You take 30% first, and I'll give you the rest after I find the Silver Blood Army."
Wang Jierui was very dissatisfied: "I understand the truth. We can't trust each other, but 30% is too little, right?"
The female rat-man next to her also chimed in and said, "That's right, Li Wei, how can a famous person like you be so fussy about everything?"
"Haha, do you think you still have room to bargain now? Listen to the voices over there, the war is almost over."
"When Khalida catches up, she may not be as easy to talk to as me."
After looking at each other for a few times, Wang Jierui and others could only choose to compromise.
In the final analysis, it is because they are not as strong as others. Now they are trapped here, and their life and death almost depend on Li Wei's thoughts. No matter how aggrieved they are, they can only accept it.
However, according to the many rumors about Levi on the forum, at least he is very honest. As long as he does not regret the deal, it will definitely bring a lot of benefits to himself.
After confirming the general idea, they stopped talking nonsense and started leading the way directly.
Levi asked the priest to send a message to Khalida while summoning more Tiger Envoys, Wolf Patrolling Envoys and Swift Rat Envoys.
These guys have very good speed and a very sensitive sense of smell. If the opponent wants to play some trick, they can more or less prevent it.
However, in order for the other party to work honestly and not to have any small thoughts that he shouldn't have, Li Wei took the initiative to calm down and communicate with the other party warmly, trying to ease the relationship.
Although he was in a very unhappy mood, Li Wei had such an attitude that Wang Jierui had to give him face.
And in the final analysis, the hatred between the two parties was initiated by them, and Li Wei was just a passive counterattack.
He was angry, but he was still able to handle it clearly.
Then Li Wei soon learned that the other party had been active around here from the beginning. In this entire mountain, there were only two of them, a man and a woman, the chosen heroes of the Rat Man. This allowed them to develop quite well.
As for the Onmyoji, he was their friend in real life. He specially boarded a Nippon pirate ship and traveled thousands of miles to meet him.
Nippon's Onmyoji, in terms of combat, relies heavily on various summons called "Shikigami", followed by spells such as earth, fire, water, wind, and thunder.
When summoning, unless you crush the opponent with strength and convince them with force, various sacrifices are often required.
Including but not limited to blood, souls, monster cores, elemental crystals they call "spiritual stones", and even dimensional stones, etc.
This is also one of the important reasons why the other party easily decided to meet Wang Jierui, because the Rat Man has no shortage of these things.
Even if it looks like this, the profession of Onmyoji is quite evil.
But there's nothing we can do about it, their shikigami are essentially just demons and monsters.
So after Li Wei took the initiative to express his goodwill, the Onmyoji named Kamo was the most enthusiastic about Li Wei among the three, because he was very coveted of Li Wei's many summoning spells.
If celestial beings could be summoned, who would want those monsters that look ugly and scary, and want to eat people at every turn, or even eat them?
There are indeed some beautiful ladies among high-level shikigami, but his current strength is still not enough.
Li Wei also responded to him casually while chatting with Wang Jierui to learn more about the Corrupt Clan and the Silver Blood Army.
Not only that, he even had the energy to monitor Archon, keep in touch with his subordinates and Khalida, and deal with the occasional temptations from the female rat-man.
He doesn't know when his brain's speed began to increase. Now, it's normal to multitask, and he doesn't even feel tired.
Not to mention, he probably really wanted to ask Li Wei for advice. In just a few miles, Kamo almost exposed his family background.
I also let Li Wei take a look at it, and he also had a few interesting gadgets in his hand.
A fox-guiding contract can sign a permanent contract with a little fox that can levitate at low altitude and breathe fire. It can not only be used for summoning, but can also become a magic pet of a mage.
Although Guan Hu's strength is average, the little fox's appearance is still very good, and among low- and mid-level monsters, it is also one with higher potential.
The Broom God Talisman can forcefully summon several Broom Gods.
As the name suggests, broom gods are broom spirits. If you have your own village, you can let them sweep the floor.
Since they are monsters, as long as you give them some elemental crystals, they can work 24 hours a day without eating or drinking.
Then there is a wall-painting stone, which can be used three times a day to summon 2-5 wall-painting monsters each time, which are little monsters that look like mud walls.
It is said that they are some mud walls that collapsed and crushed people to death, and then by chance, they turned into monsters.
Their movement speed is almost non-existent, but their defense and health are pretty good. They are very typical human shield and cannon fodder monsters.
Although Li Wei had no shortage of these gadgets, the other party was so proactive and enthusiastic that he was willing to express his goodwill, so he exchanged it with the other party at the expense of two jackal guards.
With Khalida supporting him from behind, the Jackal Guard is really worth nothing to him now.
These novel little things can be used as small gifts later and given to Sefa and others.
Seeing this, not only Kamo was overjoyed for a moment, but the faces of Wang Jierui and the female rat man also improved significantly.
Again, there is no permanent hatred between the God-chosen heroes. As long as the interests are sufficient, they can cooperate even if they belong to different races.
If the two sides can really live in peace in the future, is it possible for them to obtain this special construct?
This thought first arose in Wang Jierui's heart, and it never left him.
Except for the partially transformed, brainless beastmen, almost all ratmen have a common characteristic, that is, they bully the weak and fear the strong, and cannot fight tough battles.
Those seemingly ferocious beasts, after being transformed, will also become greedy and fearful of death once they have the characteristics of rat-men, and they are still not perfect cannon fodder.
But constructs, who has ever heard that they are afraid of death?
But he didn't have time to look carefully at the moment, because the rat hero in front had stopped and nodded to him.
He immediately said: "Li Wei, we are here."
Li Wei looked around. There was nothing special about the surroundings. It was just a typical Gobi desert. If he had come by himself, he would never think there was anything unusual here.
He nodded towards the other party, indicating that the passage could be opened.
Then he saw Wang Jierui taking out some shovels, mining picks and other tools, as well as a few bright green things that looked like electric drills, and started working with some strong Storm Rats.
He almost couldn't hold it back. He thought there would be some special method, but in the end he still dug hard?
However, although the principles of those electric drills are definitely different, the actual effect is the same as that of electric drills. With the bursts of sound, gravel will fly for a while.
Seeing Li Wei's rather strange eyes, Wang Jierui was also a little embarrassed, and then he broke the jar and said: "I bought this thing specially from the Scully clan. It was originally intended to counter your spells."
.”
"But later I discovered that although their effect is good, the noise is too loud. Once used, it can be heard for miles around, and it is impossible to successfully attack by surprise."
Levi waved his hand, indicating that he was not surprised at this, he was just curious as to why he chose to dig a hole?
Where did you come from before, now you have to go back to where you came from, right?
Faced with this question, this time it was the female rat person who took the lead in explaining it for him.
She is Wang Jierui's biological sister, and she also has the same name as Wang Jierui - Wang Tom.
Judging from the rather awkward expression on her face when she reported her name, Levi couldn't help but suspect that this was probably the other person's real name. It could only be said that their parents were really big-hearted.
"The rat people here are very wary of us. We usually live in the outer area. The road leading to the core area is not only extremely narrow, but also has many traps. Besides, there may be other rat people trying it now."
"So we simply dug directly from the top. We have determined that this is the shallowest place, at most 4-5 meters thick, and the texture is relatively soft, which is very suitable for digging."
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Good guy, even if nothing happened today, the two of them would have already had a plan to steal things, right?
But this is too time-consuming. Although according to the information from the monitoring archon, the battle on Khalida's side is almost over, but Levi has never forgotten that the real target of this army's dispatch is the Silver Blood Army, not the Silver Blood Army.
rat man.
They have already wasted too much time here and cannot delay any longer!
So he directly released the fossil into mud with a wave of his hand. As a supporting magic, turning mud into stone and fossil into mud are contradictory. How could he only know one of them?
With his current strength, except for the strongest diamond and granite, which are beyond his reach, other rocks, whether sandstone or shale, can easily turn into soft soil.
Wang Jierui, who had just been struggling for a long time, was speechless. He felt that Li Wei was his natural nemesis.
He could always provoke his own anger easily, but not only did he have no way to deal with him, but he also had to rush to beg him!
Although he felt a little resentful in his heart, Wang Jierui did not hesitate in the movements of his hands. Instead, he sped up a little faster because he had been craving for the food for more than a day or two.
With the cooperation of each other, within a few minutes, there was only a crashing sound, large pieces of soil falling downwards, and at the same time, a series of squeaking sounds unique to the rat men were heard.
Li Wei and Wang Jierui were overjoyed at the same time, because they had completely dug it out!
But at the same time, an unprecedented stinking cloud, even with some color, rose into the sky.
Wang Jierui, who was closest to him, immediately screamed, fell to the ground, and started retching.
The tiger warriors, wolf patrol warriors, etc. who had been surrounding him all whimpered and covered their noses, and kept retreating.
Most of the time, their keen sense of smell can play a very good role in chasing and hunting, but now they are in the most pain.
Wang Tom and He Mao were a little confused for a while, but they still kept a distance very cautiously.
Seeing how exaggerated they were, Li Wei didn't dare to be careless.
First, he sent out some poisonous scorpion guards and summoned some desert beetles with a less sensitive sense of smell. Then after thinking about it, he activated the flame protection of the Balor Balrog.
It has always been difficult to defend against odor and sound wave attacks. In most cases, you can only resist with strength, but the flames should be able to burn away some of them.
At the same time, he also signaled to Tom Wang not to stop. The hole was still not big enough for large troops to pass through.
Seeing Jerry Wang's ecstatic look, Tom Wang snickered a few times and followed Levi's instructions and continued to expand the hole.
Kamo summoned a dozen ghosts and went down to investigate the situation and fight.
Speaking of which, Onmyoji doesn't pay special attention to recruitment quotas in towns.
Because as long as there are enough sacrifices and he is strong enough, he may summon many shikigami and permanently transform them into his subordinates.
This was one of the reasons why he decided so easily to cross the sea to meet Wang Jierui.
Soon, as the cave entrance continued to expand, the field of vision gradually expanded, and the battle below gradually came to an end.
At the same time, Levi also roughly figured out why there was such a stench that could be called a biochemical weapon here.
Because there are a large number of imprisoned and dismembered beastmen below, as well as some random strange creatures that have been artificially spliced together.
Those who were sent out to launch attacks before should have been considered successful. The more unsuccessful ones were left here to serve as specimens, materials, or food for the other beastmen.
In addition, those beastmen eat, drink, and defecate in some extremely narrow cages, which makes the environment here even more harsh and the air polluted. Ratmen are not a race that loves cleanliness.
Even if Li Wei just glanced at it casually, he immediately decided that he would never step into it.
It's a cross between a slaughterhouse, a prison, a biological laboratory and an oversized toilet.
Even though there was still some distance between them, the nightmarish scene still made him feel itchy in his throat and make him want to vomit.
Fortunately, he didn't bring Cindy, Elegy, and others this time, otherwise, if little ladies like them saw this scene, they would probably vomit even more happily than Wang Jierui next to him.
On the other hand, the remaining Storm Rats under Wang Tom seemed unaware of this. Li Wei could only sigh secretly, this is probably a racial talent, right?
