Chapter 227: Dispel the magic beacon and return to the territory
When Colby was attacked, Zong Shen did not deliberately deal with the beacon, and even let him spend the night in the territory.
Early the next morning, Colby and Zong Shen went to explore the demon hunter's temple from the northern mountain path, and it seemed that they were not attacked by the Goblin tribe.
I don't know if the goblins were confused or delayed by other things. In short, the goblins did not look for the beacon to attack Zong Shen's territory.
But this time, the magic beacon on his body was left by Safuri, the saint of the Calamity Raven Church. Zong Shen had taken away so much mithril, and they had sufficient reason to retaliate against Zong Shen.
Therefore, this magic beacon must be cleared away. The previous tips in the guide mentioned that it can be solved only by removing magic.
Zong Shen thought about it carefully and found that the shoes he had taken away from Boswell seemed to have the ability to dispel magic. However, because they were not the right size, he never had the equipment. He originally planned to let the dwarves use it when he was free.
The uncle went to have some modifications, but he has been very busy these days, but he took the boots with him into the storage compartment.
As soon as he thought about it, a pair of small boots suddenly appeared in his hand.
[Exorcist Satin Boots (Blue)], the size of these shoes is only two-thirds of Zong Shen's size, which is the size worn by goblin merchants. After being idle for several days, there is still a smell of dried salted fish.
Come.
Zong Shen didn't know what the wear judgment of the equipment was, so he could only stuff the foot with the mark attached into the boot, while constantly observing the personal skill bar while stuffing it.
Finally, when he forced his feet in most of the way, there was finally a [Magic Repelling Level 5] skill in the skill bar.
Zong Shen chose to use his communication skills without hesitation, and the target was chosen as himself.
Immediately, a silvery-white light shrouded his body and swept over him. The raven mark appeared on his calf, emitting a blue-white light. The next moment, it was exorcised by magic and was forcibly repulsed, floating.
In the air, it slowly dissipated, returned to magical energy and disappeared.
The guide will not lie to me, the magic dispelling skill can indeed easily dispel this kind of magic beacon that can monitor the location. In the final analysis, this kind of beacon magic is only a kind of auxiliary negative magic.
Normal magic can dispel even more domineering control magic, let alone magic beacons.
At the same time that Zong Shen expelled the magic beacon, Safuli felt something on the other side.
At this time, she was repairing the magic circle with two other church elders.
She held a dagger in her hand, cut her fingertips, and squeezed out drops of blood, which dripped into the magic circle.
When those blood drops fell, there were still traces of blue and white cold air coming out, mixed with the strange power of blue and white stars.
After noticing that the raven mark had been removed, Safuri's body moved slightly.
"The raven mark was cleared so quickly."
"As expected of a person who has integrated the power of demons."
"I have never heard of such a thing being able to fuse the power of demons without being corrupted."
"Even those demon hunters in ancient times gained the power to transform into demons at the cost of splitting their souls. Half of their souls were corrupted, but this person is obviously not..."
While squeezing out blood to provide the magic circle with blood containing the power of the raven, she secretly thought in her heart
She had a vague feeling that this operation might not go smoothly.
…
On the other side, after Zong Shen expelled the magic beacon, he put away the [Expelling Satin Boots] and put on the [Emerald Leg Armor] and [Swift Leather Short Boots] again.
After just a short delay, the surrounding cave monsters began to gather around him again. Zong Shen patted Bajie on the head and headed south for another ten minutes before heading northeast.
Jiang Yi's territory.
Along the way, he saw the territories of several lords. Almost every lord personally led his soldiers to rely on the defensive buildings in the territory to kill the crypt monsters.
After the temporary opening of the points exchange, the enthusiasm of the lords has indeed greatly increased. The points at the beginning were just points on paper, but after the exchange was enabled, they were not points, but various materials in real money.
Comparing before and after, this positivity comes out.
All the lords wish they had more arms. At first, they just killed passively in order to survive, but now they basically kill actively.
Of course, there were also some lords who encountered huge groups of cave monsters or various accidents and were among those killed in battle, but overall the casualty rate was still lower than Zong Shen's earlier prediction.
After all, those who have survived until now have basically adapted to the Lord's laws. Those who are stupid or have poor adaptability have long been eliminated. Facing the risk of death, even if they had invincible protection during the protection period a few days ago,
Even the small courtyards could not prevent those lords from being eliminated.
This is a process of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest, but this process is both direct and rapid.
The group of lords who can survive now basically have seven or eight soldiers and five or six farmers. There can be some basic defensive buildings and some basic living supplies in the territory.
Facing the crypt challenge, it is basically impossible to move around as easily as Zong Shen, but as long as you are lucky and more motivated, you can survive the crypt challenge.
After all, the number of monster groups with thousands or even tens of thousands is still a minority. A crypt can only spawn 4 to 5 monsters in three minutes, which is 80 to 100 monsters per hour, of which a total of 15 to 15 are elite and captain level monsters.
20, one thousand crypts in an area can refresh 80,000 to 100,000 monsters every hour, of which 15,000 to 20,000 are elite and captain-level monsters.
However, there are currently more than 7,000 lords in the area where Zong Shen is located. As long as each person kills more than 15 crypt monsters every hour, the number of kills will exceed the refresh rate.
Of course, this data is not necessarily accurate, because every lord's situation is different. Some kill more, and some kill less. Overall, the crypt challenge is basically a balanced situation.
The current life is very difficult for the lords, but it is not a doomed situation.
Zong Shen was in a good mood. Not only did he get an important piece of information today, but he also recovered a large handful of wool. Although he did not lead a team to explore the ruins today, he was still very satisfied with today's harvest.
Mariel's level has also increased. No matter which development direction Mariel chooses, Zong Shen will support her. With every additional hero in the territory, Zong Shen can lighten some of his own burdens.
Forty or fifty minutes later, he returned to Jiang Yi's territory.
The area of one or two kilometers around the territory has been almost completely cleared.
Jiang Yi and some of her soldiers have already gone to rest. The exploration team brought by Zong Shen and Malil are still fighting. Malil has almost adapted to the battle and is now able to calmly use the [Hunting Crossbow] to attack.
Those crypt monsters attacked.
Because of the authorization, Zong Shen was able to enter Jiang Yi's territory safely without being attacked. All the soldiers immediately greeted him.
About four hours had passed since he went out this time. It was not yet three o'clock in the afternoon, and Zong Shen directly entered Jiang Yi's lord's courtyard.
Her Lord's Mansion is still at the first level, because the Lord's Mansion requires an upgrade certificate to upgrade, and this certificate is not easy to obtain.
Zong Shen stood outside the lord's hut and shouted. After a while, the door of the hut opened, and Jiang Yi walked out, rubbing her hazy sleepy eyes. She was wearing a white robe as pajamas.
"You're back!"
“How is the situation in Odo Village?
"Is it the same as what they said on the channel?"
When she saw Zong Shen, she suddenly lost all sleep. She quickly ran to Zong Shen's side and asked with great concern.
Zong Shen shared with Jiang Yi how he sneaked into Odo Village, as well as the actions of the Calamity Raven Church and the layout of the village.
Look at Jiang Yi's envious eyes after learning that he got a batch of mithril.
Zong Shen smiled casually, waved his hand, took out 300 copies of Mithril and gave it to her. After all, after establishing the [legion], Zong Shen still expected her to help manage the legion. It would be better to give her some benefits.
It is necessary.
When it's time to win over, you have to win over them. This requires flexible decision-making of social strategies based on the actual situation.
Instead of being rigid and dogmatic and using fixed thinking to socialize.
Sure enough, after accepting Zong Shen's benefits one after another, Jiang Yi's eyes towards Zong Shen became even more eager.
As the saying goes, being soft-handed and short-tongued, coupled with the strength shown by Zong Shen, Jiang Yi now admires Zong Shen extremely and has made up her mind to hug his thigh tightly.
The two communicated about the situation in Odo Village and shared information about the underground challenge, and Zong Shen left in a hurry.
If nothing else goes wrong, Zong Shen plans to complete the expansion of his territory early tomorrow morning. He will expand it to as many levels as he can this time. After the territory is expanded, he will directly form a legion.
Ask Jiang Yi to immediately start recruiting reliable members. The legion will recruit any lord who meets the requirements. There is no threshold for race or nationality, but under the same conditions, priority will be given to recruiting Chinese lords.
Specific matters will also be implemented flexibly and there are no rigid requirements.
The two of them had preliminary discussions on some matters, and Zong Shen led the team back towards the territory.
Jiang Yi sent them out of the territory and watched them in the distance before returning to the lord's hut.
Now that all the crypt monsters within one or two kilometers of her territory have been cleared away, there will be no more crypt monsters for an hour or two. She can also take this opportunity to take the soldiers to have a good rest.
