ps: I was not in good condition yesterday and felt a little stuck, so I was lazy for a while and will make up for it today. This is the first major update of the chapter, and there will be two major updates later.
Although there was help from the Bone Dragon summoned by Inheim, due to the previous battles, he ran too far away unknowingly, so this journey still took more than a day.
For more than a day, what Liu Yifei and Xue Lan did most was to "enjoy" the new round of war of words on the forum through the built-in forum.
With the emergency mobilization of Huangquan in the rear, the local military forces in Plague City were greatly dispersed, and the most important flow was to the various allies who had already drawn up preliminary cooperation agreements.
Mercenary legions, local guards, and even a large number of war machines previously reserved by Plague City
And when the Longsheng Group was forced to disclose Liu Yifei's territorial military data due to pressure from the player lord group... what everyone saw was an almost blank sheet of Plague City.
It's not that there are no more mercenaries, but the newly hired mercenaries only have first- and second-level skeletons. The dead bodies are left in the Plague City to continue growing. The remaining mid-level mercenaries are directly resold at high prices through the auction platform.
, as long as more than 100% of the profits are taken, Plague City will completely make money!
Among them, the most profitable ones are naturally the fourth-level vampire mercenaries and the fifth-level dark mage mercenaries.
The latter is because it is too high-end, and the recruitment buildings in the wild are almost impossible to find. In a country of the undead, you may barely be able to find three or two in various corners, but there are often more than a dozen players organizing fierce looting.
, it’s basically a place of chaos, and the number of players who died from this is probably no less than thousands!
The crazy price increase of vampires is purely because Liu Yifei is going crazy these days.
With the exchange of information on the strategic map, most players know that the fourth-level vampires of the ghost race will become very powerful once they improve their level. Especially the "symbiosis" special effect has an absolutely unparalleled effect against the medium and low-level foreign life types.
When it comes to level troops, it is almost invincible!
However, the difference between "knowing" and "seeing" is always huge!
When everyone truly understood the strength of vampire mercenaries on the world map through Liu Yifei's madness...
Nowadays, it’s not just ghost players who are frantically searching for vampire recruitment buildings in the wild. Even “bordering” forces such as tower clan, elves, swamp clan, and dungeon clan are also searching inside or on the border to see if they can
No luck recruiting a group of vampires.
The two second-level secluded mansions in Plague City are no joke. The amount of profit earned for Plague City that day was even greater than that of a fifth-level dark mage. After all, there is really no one else but Liu Yifei who dares to sell vampires so openly.
....
Of course, while making profits quickly, the "almost undefended" plague city also aroused the greed of some people with ulterior motives.
When Liu Yifei helped his allies upgrade their territories and mobilize their armies, some people tried to sneak in. However, compared with that time, the current Plague City is undoubtedly more prosperous, and there are more three religions and nine streams gathered.
On the day Longsheng Group announced the military strength data of Plague City, three "riots" broke out in one breath!
But the result is naturally imaginable
Under the joint suppression of multiple NPCs from the Spider Woman clan, lizardmen, and dwarves, the riot of more than a thousand people was not a problem. What's more important is that "suppressing the riot" can actually be regarded as a task. Yu Huangquan directly cooperated with various allies
The lord mission was released in the news, and the local guards who had just been "transferred" for a short time came back to kill people. Everyone happily killed people to earn military merit.
After confirming that the situation was stable, Liu Yifei felt somewhat relieved.
To be honest, he was a little worried when he proposed the "external transfer of military strength" before, fearing that his military strength would really be gone without return.
After all, mercenaries are purely based on command authority. No matter who originally "bought" them, as long as the transfer of the highest command authority is confirmed, they will only fully follow the orders of the new owner.
As for the players, except for Qi Chengzhou, those allies are all rich and wealthy. If you throw a sum of money at it, it is hard to say how much it is. It is certain that at least half of them will never come back.
Fortunately, looking at the forum letter from Yu Huangquan to Liu Yifei, everything is stable now. It seems that there is nothing to worry about. It's just that the Dark Grand Guild occasionally muttered to Liu Yifei to go back quickly, so as to help his territory upgrade to
Level 3 territory, because this guy has actually taken over the task of upgrading the territory very anxiously...
Rushing is always the most tedious thing, but as a basic 50-meter-per-second flying unit, the Bone Dragon has the advantage of unlimited physical strength, so it can fly almost at full speed around the clock. It rushed against the wind and snow for more than a day, which somewhat allowed Liu Yifei and the others to see it.
The Endless Peaks on the edge of the Talembel Mountains.
But you have to be careful when you get here, because if Liu Yifei remembers correctly, the original Tower Clan stronghold here seems to have been occupied by the underground city army.
The last time the army rushed out without being discovered by the sentries in the dungeon, it was good luck for them, but this time they were obviously not so lucky.
Several days have passed, and the power of Breath of Ice has decreased slightly. The main reason is that the sun is shining brightly in this area today, and it is a rare sunny day.
Originally, even Liu Yifei wanted to clap his hands to celebrate in such weather, but he forgot that the people who were more afraid of the cold than him were undoubtedly the dark army in the dungeon, and as soon as the power of the wind and snow weakened, these damn dark monsters
They immediately expanded their patrol circle...
"How's the situation?"
Cautiously huddled in a cedar forest, Liu Yifei asked Xue Landao, who was "investigating" outside, through the private chat channel.
Originally, such a task was not something that a woman should do, but Liu Yifei had no "means" at the moment, and he indeed lacked mobility, so he could only let Xue Lan go out on a manticore to do some reconnaissance.
They were flying too leisurely in the sky just now. They were immediately spotted by a black dragon patrol. Although the dozen or so ordinary low-grade black dragons were taken care of by Inheim in a few moments, the worst thing was that the enemy's
The sentry troops obviously had more than that. Just when Liu Yifei and the others were searching for the remaining enemies around them, their opponents had already very sensitively sent their troops in this direction...
The way out was blocked, and there were only three people on Liu Yifei's side. Moreover, all the soul bombs used to save his life were used up, so he could only kill the enemy's edge.
Inheim retreated into the valley with Liu Yifei and Bone Dragon, and left the external investigation to Xue Lan, who had just returned to the team.
"Fortunately... come out. There are no traces of the enemy around. They must have left."
It took a long time for Xue Lan's answer to come from the other end. It was obviously Liu Yifei who informed Liu Yifei after repeated confirmation.
However, it is not always easy to come to a conclusion. We were sure that there were no enemies around. But somehow, as soon as Liu Yifei showed up, a mobile force composed of manticores and black dragons had already arrived!
That's not the worst!
What's even more terrible is that in the direction where the manticore and the black dragon are flying, the snow and dust are rising into the sky in the distance, and it's obviously a large dungeon army that's about to rush over!
"Hell"
Liu Yifei frowned depressedly, but he could only order Inheim to hurry up and escape.
"Inheim, you said before that it would be a little troublesome to go back. Can you get rid of the enemy in the current situation?"
Liu Yifei looked helplessly at the manticore and black dragon chasing after him with some helplessness, and asked with some expectation.
"Um... Just in case the teleportation circle is driven from within. Although I later made some changes after taking over that place... But it will take some time to drive the magic circle from the outside to take effect.
And judging from the current situation... Unless we can eliminate the chasing force behind us, I'm afraid they will completely destroy the teleportation array."
Inheim also said helplessly.
"Okay, don't make any more detours, just kill these idiots here. Then go straight to the teleportation point."
Liu Yifei hesitated for a moment before deciding on his itinerary, and quickly led Xue Lan to a narrow mountain gap.
Whether it is a black dragon or a manticore, they can use high-speed impact to form a powerful charge attack effect on the target. Therefore, it is definitely not a wise choice to fight these flying units in the open area. They happen to be sparse in number, so find a small place.
...It's better to be small enough to make the opponent have no place to stand. Then directly kill these idiot mercenaries and bring them down!
At this moment, Liu Yifei is already used to big scenes. The most important thing is that he already has rich experience in leading soldiers in combat. In addition, he has been fighting recently, and it is still the kind of melee scene involving tens of thousands of people, so for the moment
This level of encounter was no longer tense at all. After a short circle, I found a suitable place to drop down and wait for the enemy to come and die.
But what made Liu Yifei frown was...why did the closer his opponent got...the weirder he felt?
It's not that Liu Yifei is afraid of the mid-to-high-level Manticore troops and the Black Dragon Legion. After all, they also have Inheim and the spirit-level servants Liu Yifei carries. It's not a big problem to deal with these more than 400 enemies who are less than one regiment.
, but as the distance gets closer and he sees his opponent more clearly, Liu Yifei always has a stronger and stronger feeling of "deja vu"...
Damn it!
How could these manticores be so ugly???
Yes, it is ugly!
It's just so ugly
As high-level creatures, players still know relatively little about them. However, various forms of high-level creatures have appeared many times in various battles and missions on the strategic map, although players may not be able to clearly understand the Manticore.
The promotion route of a series of creatures, but at least in general, the pictures of manticore in various forms have been revealed.
But this batch in front of me...
The muscles are knotted together, just like those over-exercised men with hairy chests, but why does it feel like they have seen it somewhere?
"Hahahaha, bless the Lord of Darkness! Despicable and shameless wizard apprentice, we meet again!"
The distance between the two sides was still more than a thousand meters, and there was a sudden sound of thunder in the clear sky, which frightened Liu Yifei!
good guy
It’s not that I haven’t heard unpleasant voices before, but this person’s voice is too unpleasant, right?
This voice is not like a human voice at all. It seems to be a weird roar made by some kind of beast imitating the tone of human speech. However, this poor common language is spoken very fluently, but with a kind of woman-like voice.
A sharp and cruel smile...
Just a strange laugh scared Liu Yifei to the point where his hair stood on end, thinking that some evil spirit was about to appear in front of him.
However, the next moment, before Liu Yifei and the others could react, a silver light suddenly flashed across Inheim's position beside Liu Yifei. Inheim had just had time to say "little..." and "heart"
Before the words were spoken, the person had disappeared. Instead, there was a group of yellow-brown "monsters" that looked like plush monsters!
Before Liu Yifei could see clearly what the visitor looked like, a wave of gray color suddenly spread around him, and Liu Yifei exclaimed, "Fuck you!" He was already extremely vigilant!
This is the soul space!
Who is so ruthless? Who would use such a killer move as soon as he comes over?
However, although he was surprised, Liu Yifei was not panicked. After all, things are different now.
Not to mention that he still has twelve life-saving spiritual servants, even he himself is not without the ability to fight against spiritual opponents...
“Hehehehe...hehehehe...
Praise the Lord of Darkness!
This is indeed the will of darkness!
Wizard Apprentice, we meet again! This time I want to see who else can come to save you!
Ha ha ha ha"
Liu Yifei was carefully looking around for enemies when a vicious voice suddenly came from the infinite void above his head. It was the same unpleasant voice that had just scared Liu Yifei outside!
Liu Yifei subconsciously looked up...
What an ugly monster!!!
The creature in front of me is half human and half beast, with a human body but more like a manticore standing upright! The hands and feet have completely turned into thick sharp claws like a manticore. There is also a several meters long claw on the back of the buttocks.
The shiny black scorpion's tail trembled slightly, as if he was overly excited.
However, the body of this "person" still looks like a human, except that the surface of the body is also covered with a large number of sharp red body hairs, and there is a pair of giant manticore wings on the shoulder blades that are extremely disproportionate to a human body!
These wings look slender and nimble on a manticore, but are a bit too big when placed on a human's back. A single wing is more than two meters long, but its surface is even more dissatisfied with a large number of yellow-yellow-green blood vessels that look like veins.
The blood line would jump from time to time, which made people feel sick to their stomachs!
And this guy's face...
Okay
Since the launch of the game, Liu Yifei has never seen such a "personalized" face!
The pair of fangs are eye-catching enough, but is the mouth too big? And what about that huge black nose like a lion?
This guy looks a little too "non-mainstream", right?
"Jehjijiji
Since the day we parted, I have been looking forward to this day all the time!
Finally... finally... the Lord of Darkness has not abandoned me yet! The will of darkness is still looking after me!
JJJJJJ
Despicable apprentice, prepare to accept my vengeful fury! Today I want you to experience all the pain I have suffered! I curse you, curse your soul to be roasted and enslaved forever!!!"
The humanoid manticore seemed almost crazy with excitement, hanging high in the "sky" while dancing and shouting angrily.
And with its roar, the entire soul space was twisting and trembling more intensely, as if it was as excited as the Manticore monster at the moment, and large groups of dark fires were violently rising in the soul space from time to time.
The explosion and the momentum generated made Liu Yifei secretly frightened!
With such a violent black fire impact, if it were hit from the front, it would be disabled even if it wasn't dead... I just don't know if this thing is the opponent's space characteristic.
If the opponent can control the location of this black fire explosion, fighting in this opponent's home space will be really fatal...
However, after taking another look at the other party's "look", Liu Yifei suddenly felt that it seemed a bit "déjà vu", and at this moment, a name suddenly appeared in his mind, which made him subconsciously whisper:
"You! Are you...Geffelog?"
"Ha ha ha ha
It's true that I still think about you day and night, enduring the severe pain of soul repair and rebirth, and cursing you!
Flowing clouds! Flowing clouds!
You haven’t forgotten me! Hahahaha
That's fine. If you really forget me, I'll still have a headache.
Since you still remember me...it saves me the trouble of explaining!
Despicable wizard apprentice! Last time I was almost beaten to death by you, this time, prepare to accept my eternal torture!
Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will imprison your soul forever and let you taste the pain of having your soul manipulated at will!
Now, it’s time to pay for what you’ve done!!!”
"Gefilog" laughed wildly and swooped down like the wind.
What's even more astonishing is that almost at the same time "she" launched her dive, countless strange purple-black flames suddenly surged from all directions in the soul space, and thousands of flaming manticores densely condensed behind her!
Damn it
These manticores are about the same size as real manticores. The only difference is that their entire bodies are made of a strange purple-black flame...
And this kind of flame was something Liu Yifei had never seen before!
The sheer force of Gefeiluoge's attack with thousands of flaming manticores startled Liu Yifei. He immediately activated the long-distance transmission function on the space necklace and flew five kilometers away with a whoosh.
It's a pity that the soul space is a space under the full control of the owner. Even if it runs far away, it will only be a momentary place in the mind of the space owner.
The next moment, a strange light suddenly flashed in the space, and the distance between Ge Feiluoge and her Manticore Legion and Liu Yifei was even closer!
"Despicable wizard! It seems that your strength has increased a lot these days?
But it’s a pity that I won’t be careless this time! You have no chance!!!”
Gefei Luoge let out a wild roar, raised his hand and shot out two huge balls of fire with a diameter of three to four meters, and went straight towards Liu Yifei with the force of destroying the heaven and earth!
Compared with the other party who can move freely and come and go invisible, Liu Yifei here can still only run on two legs, and there is no comparison in terms of mobility. And the speed of the two super flames is faster, even allowing Liu Yifei to dodge again.
The time has arrived in front of Liu Yifei's eyes!
Damn it
The attack speed of this huge fireball was so fast that Liu Yifei didn't even have a chance to release his spirit servant...
Are you going to die here today?
"Oops!
If he died here... wouldn't he have to turn into light and fly back to the Plague City?
What the hell, what about Xue Lan?"
At this moment, what suddenly came to Liu Yifei's mind was not his own life or death. It was the "promise" he had just agreed to with Xue Lan!
With Inheim guarding the outside, Liu Yifei didn't think that Gefeluoge would have a chance to sneak up on him again and kill the blood. It was just that the good journey was interrupted like this, which made Liu Yifei quite unhappy, and what made him most unhappy was
that is......
Damn it!
He was very sure that he had beaten the old witch Gefei Luog to death last time!
He also got the military merit points for destroying the opponent's heroes. How come this old witch seems to be resurrected again???
It seems that it is not that simple for an NPC to be resurrected, right?
He's just a spirit-level hero. How can he say that his soul has returned to his soul?
A legendary being as powerful as Inheim had to drop a level of strength after being killed once. How come this Geffelog became stronger after his resurrection?
All kinds of strange and weird thoughts came one after another, but they couldn't match the speed of those two super fire bombs.
...
However, the next moment, the expected violent explosion did not happen.
Just when those two purple-red fire bombs were about to engulf Liu Yifei... it was like a scene where he "absorbed" soul fragments happened!
The moment the fire bomb came into contact with Liu Yifei, it was completely integrated into Liu Yifei's body like a stream flowing into the sea!
Cake seller!
Not to mention Ge Feiluoge opposite, even Liu Yifei himself was dumbfounded!
What's going on?
"This is impossible!!!"
Full of hatred, Gefeiluoge, who originally expected to cripple Liu Yifei with this strike, screamed and subconsciously fired more violent fire bombs!
She doesn’t believe it! She doesn’t believe it!
It is obviously a new ability that I have gained after enduring countless pains... It is obvious that I can become stronger again, even stronger than the abilities of the young geniuses who made me jealous in the past... Why... Why...
Why can't even this humble wizard apprentice be dealt with?
The purple-red flame bombs all over the sky rushed towards Liu Yifei like a violent storm. Some even exploded next to Liu Yifei, emitting even more violent waves of fire and wind pressure to hit Liu Yifei.
However, the strange thing is that no matter how violent the blow is, as soon as it touches Liu Yifei, he will immediately disappear like a miracle.
Not only that, every time a fire bomb is "absorbed" by Liu Yifei, he can actually recover a little mp... It's weird. Liu Yifei's mp is completely full at the moment!
I saw him standing safely in the sky-filled fire storm, but his body was constantly flashing a faint blue light indicating the recovery of magic power, which formed a sharp contrast with the wild and chaotic purple-red fire curtain around him...
etc!
confusion!
Liu Yifei was stunned subconsciously. She looked carefully at the flame attacks launched by Gefei Luoge, and the strange flames that turned into thousands of flaming manticores behind her... These dim but extremely active purple flames
, could it be...
"Geffelog, you...you actually have the power of chaos?
What’s going on???”
Liu Yifei subconsciously asked, but he didn't expect a loud "boom" in front of him!
Liu Yifei was not spared this time again. The fiery fireball suddenly exploded and splashed away the surging fire elements. At the same time, it also stirred up fierce wind pressure shocks in the soul space.
Although Liu Yifei's own spell resistance was not low, this blow knocked him violently away, and a damage number of "771" popped up on his head.
"How...how could it be like this...why...why are you immune to my new abilities?
I don’t believe it...I don’t believe it! It’s not true! It’s not true!!!”
Gefei Luoge roared, and suddenly a huge war spear appeared in his hand that seemed to be condensed from magma. With a roar, he used all his strength to stab Liu Yifei!
At the moment when the magma war spear was about to pierce Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei, who had just been lying on the ground like a dead body, suddenly disappeared. Gefeiluoge's mind, filled with anger and shock, was suddenly startled, but he felt that a human figure had suddenly appeared.
Behind him!
"Old witch! Just be quiet and be obedient!"
Liu Yifei, who suddenly appeared behind Gefeilog, also roared angrily... and punched out!
What even Gefeilog didn't expect was...this guy actually took off his gloves and equipment!
As long as it is something that happens in the soul space, as the unique owner of this place, Gefei Luoge naturally knows it clearly.
Although Liu Yifei's punch was suddenly extreme for ordinary players or most NPCs, even legendary level beings might not have time to react to this punch if they were unprepared.
But as long as things happen in the soul space, the owner of the soul space can be omniscient and omnipotent.
In fact, at the same time Liu Yifei discovered the "teleport" skill, the power fluctuations in space already let Gefei Luoge know that the opponent would appear behind her.
As soon as Liu Yifei roared and raised his shoulders, she realized that Liu Yifei would punch her in the back!
What just made Gefeilog almost roar in excitement was that this idiot apprentice stupidly took off the chain mail gloves on his hands!
God help me!!!
Gefeluoge screamed wildly in his heart, and immediately turned around and stretched out his claws without hiding, intending to just slap off this kid's arm with one claw!
"ah"
Sure enough, a heart-wrenching cry sounded out in the space where the flames were beating endlessly. But what Gefeiluoge didn't expect was that the one who made this cry of pain was actually herself...
At the moment when the fists and claws collided, Gefeiluoge felt a sharp pain like heart-wrenching and lung-piercing pain suddenly coming from the contact position!
She has never experienced such unforgettable pain, which she will remember forever!
If you really want to make a comparison...
Probably only the extreme pain she experienced in those days when she was repairing her damaged body and soul with the help of a mysterious man a while ago could compare with it...
After all, it was just a long and gentle pain. Compared with it, what Liu Yifei just brought to her was more like a kind of torture with a needle piercing her soul and constantly interspersed with twisting!
With a scream, Gefeiluoge, who had not yet exerted his strength, screamed like a cat being electrocuted and flew out upside down.
At the same time, the originally chaotic and weird soul space suddenly beat violently, like an earthquake. At the same time, a large number of space-time cracks appeared in all directions!
Obviously, due to the blow just now, Gefeiluoge's soul space was already difficult to stabilize. With one blow, obvious cracks were made in the soul space!
Naturally, the only one who has a deep understanding of this is Gefei Luoge.
The blow just now not only caused serious damage to her, but also almost destroyed her originally unstable soul space!
If she hadn't urgently stabilized the order of the space, I'm afraid the entire soul space would have been crushed on the spot!
It's a pity that it was too early for Gefeilog to worry.
Not only did she stop flying upside down, she suddenly felt that the terrifying "Wizard Apprentice" had appeared next to her again at some point. Almost at the same time that he realized that the other party had appeared, Liu Yifei had already moved towards him again.
She held out a fist that devastated Gfelrog...
The fist that holds the power of the soul...
"How's it going? Are you okay?"
Coming out of the soul space, Xue Lan was the first to come forward and ask Liu Yifei.
The opponent's hero didn't know what method he used just now, but he actually teleported Inheim out and "robbed" Liu Yifei in a surprise attack. However, in this way, Xue Lan was left alone.
Although there were hundreds of black dragons, manticores, etc., they were still unable to defeat one Inheim. Especially after Inheim used the opponent's corpse to summon more undead to assist in the battle, the battle situation became increasingly simple.
.
Therefore, Xue Lan had been idle on the side "skimming the formation" just now. When he saw Liu Yifei, who had disappeared, appeared on the spot, he immediately approached him with concern and asked.
Plop
Before Liu Yifei could say anything, there was another wave of power in the space. The next moment, Ge Feiluoge's half-human, half-lion body had fallen into the snow. Although there were no obvious wounds on his body, not even a drop of blood was shed.
He came out, but looking at his stiff and motionless appearance, he knew that this guy was probably dead.
"Oh, I'm fine"
Hearing Xue Lan's question, Liu Yifei smiled comfortingly, but when he turned around, he looked at the motionless body of Ge Feiluoge in the snow with great trepidation.
This time he got the experience of killing Gefilog again... The last time he was in a battle mission, so he got a military merit, but this time it was straightforward, he got experience, and even
Being able to go up and "touch the corpse".
But for some reason, Liu Yifei subconsciously felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart when he looked at Gefei Luoge's body lying quietly in the snow.
He had a hunch that the grudge between him and this old witch was not over yet...
