Chapter 499 498 Fuck! A three-speed powered rocket hammer?
Chapter 499 498. Damn it! A three-speed powered rocket hammer? What kind of jackal black technology is this!!!
It will take some time for Ormi to fully recover. Even the posture when walking in the swamp can not be restored yet. After all, the greedy Endless Manis chewed off half of the tail of this unlucky giant snake in the sea of stars.
, even if Ningji Nanka has the snake-like characteristic of "shedding and rebirth", recovery is not that easy.
But considering that unless Transia is pushed to the point of destruction by a wave of jackals and Orr comes out to carry the banner, there is a high probability that no external force will disturb its self-healing, so Murphy can confidently believe that this
One wave belongs to "the future can be expected".
In his plan, the giant swamp snake will be the "ballast stone" of the foul swamp defense line. Such a sea-fixing needle must ensure its perfect combat status.
When the giant snake lord returned to the forbidden land with his newborn snake baby, he also conveyed his gratitude to Murphy and planned to give a "gift" with practical actions.
Quan was deemed to have paid the "treatment fee".
The legendary giant snake has its own wisdom. Although it is not necessarily very clever, it can smell the breath of the Endless on Murphy, which makes it think that Murphy made some dangerous interactions with that crazy bastard to save it.
The venom of the Infinite is used to prepare the antidote.
For any rational creature, such a "great kindness" must be repaid.
Murphy did not refuse the offer.
Just like players always think that there must be rewards for completing tasks, vampires have indeed paid a lot to complete this side task of "saving the giant snake", not to mention anything else, just because of the relationship between the Endless and other planets.
The reputation of the world demigods has been reduced, and they are indifferent or even hostile. This is already a terrible "payment".
Due to both emotions and reasons, he also felt that he really needed to be "rewarded".
Not only were he and Tris traveling with him, but considering that Maxim was also here, "Seeing the One" also brought Maxim and the muddy investigator Helu with him.
Although Helu didn't make much contribution, he at least helped the giant snake heal its injuries. Let's just think of him as a newbie who was helped by a big boss to gain his reputation.
Moreover, Heru is currently the best investigator in Transia. He has been stationed in the swamp for a long time. Once his mage tower is built, it will be enough for him to put the entire swamp under psychic surveillance. Even if he doesn't tell the story about the giant snake, he can't hide it.
He might as well give Helu an answer now.
With the ability and cunning shown by this young psionicist born in the Ring Tower, he would not know how much trouble it would cause once the secret was leaked from him.
The four of them followed the giant snake and flew towards the forbidden area of the swamp. Helu, the weakest, had no wings, but he picked up a fairly luxurious magic carpet from the ruins of the Warlock Tower, and he had his own flying vehicle.
When Orr approached the forbidden area of the swamp, the other six giant snakes that had been awakened all sensed the breath of their companions.
They came from all over the forbidden area and appeared. Seeing legendary creatures appearing one after another before his eyes, Helu was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He quickly picked up his calculation orb to record this rare scene.
"The legends are all true! There is a population of giant snakes living in the Filthy Swamp, and they already have the next generation! Oh my god, this news will make those senior officials in the Ring Tower who are striving to explore the mysteries of the world cheer for joy."
Helu exclaimed, and then said proudly:
"However, they are not qualified to watch all this up close, because Transia does not welcome them, and I do not welcome them either!"
"Look at your potential."
Maxim whispered beside him with a straight face:
"Please behave decently and maintain your demeanor as the commander of the People's Army Scouts! Your Excellency Helu, you are now a military personnel."
"Oh well."
Seeing General Maxim speaking, Helu immediately put away his country bumpkin attitude, held his head high and showed a sense of majesty like "I am a super powerful archmage."
Murphy and Tris didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two people. The Governor and the Grand Duke were focused on the social structure of the giant snake community. As expected, after the return of the eldest and largest Orr, the other giant snakes
The snakes were obedient and bowed their proud necks in front of him to express their respect and obedience to Orr.
When they were dormant, Orko had been guarding the restricted area A, patrolling this territory that belonged to them. For more than a thousand years, no dangerous guy had entered and disturbed the giant snakes. This alone was enough to make other
The giant snake was convinced.
What's more, the little Cavendina on Orr's head is the first descendant born besides these seven giant snakes. The snake baby who is curious about everything and howls at the "uncles and aunts" is not
Understand her significance to the species.
But if children are ignorant, adults cannot be ignorant.
Six giant snakes surrounded Orr and kept neighing with joy. They were like a family hugging each other for warmth in the legendary biological circle. They took turns holding the little Cavendina on their heads and passing it around, just like a ritual.
Then they neighed some kind of call and request in the direction of Murphy's suspension.
These giant snakes form a "family" in groups of two, and all three families have thousand-year eggs waiting to be hatched, and one of them has two eggs as "twins".
Now that "Your Excellency the Curator" can hatch the first baby snake, it means that the remaining snake babies will also gain new life and life, er, snake birth, in a thousand years.
The significance of this to their group, which is already infinitely endangered, is indescribable.
"I would love to, my serpent friends, but now is not the time."
Murphy shook his head.
He didn't know whether the giant snake could understand it, but he still explained:
"War is coming!
The war between humans and gnolls is likely to involve you. Choosing to hatch offspring at this time is not a good choice, which means that you will spend a lot of energy on protecting the cubs.
But I promise you that once there are signs that the war is over, I will immediately put the hatching of the Millennium Egg on the process."
In this regard, the giant snakes were a little disappointed, but in the face of little Cavendina's example, they chose to believe in the curator's promise, and then took the baby snakes to familiarize themselves with the entire swamp ecological area amid the majestic Orr's hiss.
every environment.
Orr himself led Murphy and his party in another direction.
It swam in the muddy water extremely fast, and it took less than ten minutes to reach the end of the swamp restricted area under the mountains extending from the dark mountains. This is also the end of the filthy swamp. To get here, you need to go through the entire A
district.
But this was almost impossible to do in the past, so it can be concluded that Murphy and others were the first outsiders to enter this area after the Fourth Black Disaster.
"Ouch!"
Orr's flexible big head pointed in the direction shrouded in mist under the mountain. It neighed as if to say, "The thing to be thankful for is there." Then it didn't stop much and seemed to hate the things there.
Murphy and Tris expressed their thanks again, then turned around and disappeared into the surrounding swamp mist.
It can be seen that the giant snake is very resistant to the things that exist here, and it is not even willing to stay here too long.
This really piqued Murphy's curiosity.
He, Tris and Maxim immediately passed through the fog and arrived under the mountain. Helu followed closely. They saw a large hidden cave. It did not look completely natural. It was obviously dug the day before.
trace.
When Maxim stepped into it with the black blade in hand, he quickly saw the "previous owner" of the cave.
"It's the Jackal! Master Murphy."
Maxim pulled out the black blade and reminded seriously:
"And they are all elite gnolls from the Dark Mountains. There are quite a lot of them, but they are all dead."
"This is the hunting guard regiment of the Bone-Gripping King, there is no doubt about it."
When Tris saw those gnolls lying in the cave who had already returned to the underworld in the passage of time, she immediately made a judgment, probably because of the unique "clan armor" on these gnolls.
their identities.
Although it is not something outrageous like everyone wearing plate armor, each of these jackals in front of them has very "exaggerated" weapons, and they have unified styles. This is obviously not something ordinary jackal warlords can possess.
.
"The number is around 500, which is consistent with the record of the fourth black disaster."
Heru threw a special reconnaissance technique, throwing a ball of unstable psychic energy into the depths of the cave, and then used the shock wave generated by the psychic energy explosion to outline the terrain of the entire cave and some of the interior features for him using the principle of "echo".
Distinctive features.
While adjusting the frequency of echo detection, he said to the three people around him:
"In the records of the Tower of Rings, the clan of the Bone-gnawing King was bombed from the sky by the Sun Ship of the Songhai Empire. It lost its most elite core strength, but it was still escorted by a group of powerful hunting guards.
The Bone-Gnawing King fought his way out of the battlefield surrounded by all sides.
They were chased all the way and fled into the filthy swamp before disappearing.
This is the last whereabouts of that group of hunting guards. I heard that the remains of the Bone-gnawing King also appeared on the battlefield in Plague Town. It seems that those outrageous rumors about "The Bone-gnawing King is not dead" can finally be put to an end.
Already.
But a new problem came again.
Why did these absolute elites among the gnolls die here incognito? They should have enough strength to escape the pursuit of the giant snake and return to the Dark Mountains.
There were no obvious fatal injuries on these bodies, which is enough to prove that they did not die in battle."
"It seems that someone gave them an order, an order that cannot be disobeyed, and these jackal warriors die here just to complete the order."
Murphy narrowed his eyes and said something, then turned to Helu and said:
"I guess they must be guarding something. Can they see the deepest part of the cave?"
"Wait a moment, Mr. Governor, let me adjust it."
Helu hurriedly threw out the second echo reconnaissance, this time deeper into the cave. After waiting for a few minutes, Helu, who was sweating profusely, reported:
"There is a closed space in the deepest part of the cave. Your guess is correct. There should be something hidden there. But there are also weird psychic powers entrenched there. I guess it is related to the truth of this cave. Maybe these jackals just 'look'
died!
Even though time flies and lives pass away, they are still guarding their mission."
"Then we have to go in and take a look."
Murphy gave the order and the three vampires immediately jumped into the air.
Maxim held Heru in both hands and followed the two vampire lords as he flew towards the bottom of the cave. He didn't touch anything that he shouldn't have touched along the way. Having Tris here was enough to ensure that the hidden mechanisms would not be triggered.
In the deepest part of the twisted cave, in an area dug out like an "altar", Murphy saw a stone bed and a pile of things placed on the edge of the stone bed.
It was a suit of armor, two weapons, a heavy shield, and a leather pouch containing other weapons.
There is an overly large warg lying there in the altar area, which seems to be the last guardian. The bones of this wolf have also been weathered, but it is not difficult to see that this thing is definitely a "giant species" of its race.
.
"It is the mount and hunting partner of the King of Bones. The King of Bones affectionately calls it 'Benny'."
Tris said softly:
"This guy is the Warg King of the Dark Mountains and the most trusted partner of the Bone-Gripping King. The fact that he left him here is enough to prove that the Bone-Gripping King left behind more than just his own weapons and armor. There are also other things here.
Hiding something else.
But it cannot be searched.
There is a 'divine spell' arranged here, which should come from the divinity of the Lord of Hunting. It cannot be dispelled or purified. Once we touch the core of the divine spell, the dead in the entire cave will probably be 'resurrected'.
This level of magic has gone beyond the level of knowledge that jackals can gather by groping randomly. If the King of Bone Grippers could release such magic with the gift of the Lord of Hunting a hundred years ago, I can't imagine that a hundred years later.
To what extent will the divinity of the Lord of Hunting expand.
The day-to-day worship and chanting of the jackals have given the Lord of the Hunt an initial shape, and the vibrations of the subspace may truly complete the final shaping of the Lord of the Hunt during this black disaster.
When the Lord of the Hunt roars for the first time in the subspace, the jackals will truly have their own gods, which will undoubtedly increase the intensity of this black disaster to a more cruel level.
Alas, bad things happen one after another."
"So as long as we don't touch the trigger, we can take the rest with us, right?"
Murphy did not respond immediately. He carefully looked at the altar deep in the cave in front of him, and frowned at the weapons in front of him. After a few seconds, he turned around and asked.
The Scarlet Witch had now figured out the general principle of this magic. She nodded and said:
"This is a technique similar to a death ritual. It is not difficult to understand in principle, but if you want to dismantle it because it is contaminated with divinity, you have to find a priest. You can disable those things. I will remind you after the core of the divine spell appears.
you.
But I think you'd better not be too greedy. The Bone-gnawing King put his most precious armor and weapons here obviously as a bait to punish the greedy ones.
I guess, only the people chosen by it can get the information it left without triggering divine punishment."
"Perhaps we should seal this place off permanently, Master."
Maxim said seriously:
"No matter what information the Bone-Gnawer King leaves behind, it should not be obtained by the current jackals!"
"good idea."
Murphy had already walked up to the huge flail and metal scepter. He stretched out his hand to hold the steel hunting scepter with a strange expression, and said without looking back:
"Alternatively, we can make this a real optional 'Great Vault'!
I used to be indifferent to the things left by the King of Bone Grinders, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have underestimated how rich and generous the gifts left to future generations by a barbarian king who almost overturned the continent.
expensive"
The vampire lord had to work hard to lift the bone-grinding king's hunting staff in his hand.
But what really made him feel the heaviness of this thing was not because it was really heavy, but because of the scepter named "Skull Crusher" that was written down in the history of various races and Murphy's imagination.
The barbarian scepter in .
No!
It is really not barbaric at all, and in terms of appearance, it is even full of "future technology style" that is very familiar to Murphy and Tris.
The whole body is round in the shape of an iron rod, with an attack part composed of four armor-piercing cones dotted at the top. Three different modules, the upper, middle and lower modules, are combined in an ingenious way. There are almost no assembly holes and no visible parts on the silver-gray appearance.
There are remaining screw holes, and there is a nozzle similar to a flamethrower at the top of the scepter.
Murphy didn't know where this thing came from, but he was sure that it was definitely not something that a jackal with a level of civilization could make by hand.
The vampire lord relied on his "experience" in the land of creation to search for the handle of the steel scepter, and quickly found a hidden sliding module that could be pulled. The moment he pulled the module, it turned out that
The delicate scepter immediately became active, and the armor-breaking cone on the top popped out and began to rotate at a constant speed as the gears turned.
As Maxim and Heru watched in stunned silence, Murphy pushed the sliding template to the third mode, put the armor-piercing cone into the staff body and popped up the hexagonal war hammer head at the top of the mechanical link structure, and on the hammer head
At the rear is an exaggerated three-nozzle micro-rocket thruster!
"Fuck! Rocket-powered hammer! I knew it."
Murphy lamented, but instead of activating the violent thing, he activated the item identification. After a few seconds, the specific information about the thing popped up in front of Murphy's eyes:

Item description:
[The King of Bonebiters never mentioned the process of obtaining the 'Skull Crusher' to others. He always referred to it as the supreme gift from the Lord of Hunting. Many gnolls believed that the Skull Crusher represented a gift from God.
.
Although this is not the case, it does not prevent that on the continent a hundred and ten years ago, every time the 'Skull Crusher' appeared on the scene, it would cause a bloody storm.
The current kill list of this weapon includes the Brass Dwarf Hill King, the Forest Elf Ranger General, the Shadow Elf Matron and the Vampire Lord. Maybe you can try to write more legends with it?]
"Alas, the appearance of this thing doesn't suit my temperament."
Murphy shrugged, threw the weapon in his hand to Maxim beside him, and said:
"We are very busy today. Other things in the Bone-Gnawing King cannot be moved, but the armor and belongings of these corpses can be taken back. The warriors captured Wolf Castle, and they need powerful rewards. Ah, I finally
No need to rack your brains to design a new suit for them.
You're about to go to war, Mark. I have nothing to give you, so just think of this as my service allowance for you.
Also, be low-key, I didn’t prepare any gifts for Adele and Femis, and the other things left by the Bone-Gripping King are indeed not suitable for their use.”
"Master! Such supreme loyalty as mine does not need to be repaid."
"This is the legendary 'Skull Crusher'. Just tell me whether you want it or not?"
"Well, yes! Why not? Just like the warriors said when bragging in the tavern, when I hold the legend, I will step into the legend. Let's use this war to re-ignite the legend of the Skull Crusher!"
