More than a dozen bison, whose shoulders were as tall as an adult, were slowly heading toward the Rapids Bay Castle, carrying a mountain of food and supplies.
This kind of robust bison originally thrived in the areas east of the Great Plains. It was once so numerous that there were even tribes that used bison as their totem. They were powerful and prosperous. As a result, they gradually declined under the attack of the Imperial Legion.
Even the last settlement of the tribe was burnt to scorched earth by the legendary mage "The Balrog" Sidons.
A few tribal remnants brought their domesticated bison with them, and with the guidance and rescue of the Sky Singers, they came to the Great Plains to live and continue their lives. These large herbivores, which are extremely strong and weigh nearly two thousand pounds as adults, have become the most popular animals in the Great Plains.
A welcome source of pack animals and skins and meat.
This buffalo food transport team arrived at the Rapids Bay Fortress and entered it without much effort. Soldiers came to unload bags of food supplies.
"Huh? Why are there so few things delivered this time? Is there a fierce rebellion in the south?" A soldier asked the thick-lipped and big-nosed civilian in the grain transport team.
"Shhh!" The thick-lipped and big-nosed farmer quickly signaled the other party to be silent, then looked around cautiously, using the tall bison as a cover, and whispered softly: "I tell you, this might be the last batch of food!
"
"Isn't it? Is the situation so bad?" The soldier said with some worry: "Didn't I say that there are still a group of priests and winged guards in the mountain city of Granka? Aren't they responsible for putting down the rebellion?"
"Of course you don't know if you're staying here! The masters of the Ouroboros tribe won't care about us!" The farmer cursed: "We went to various villages and villages to collect grain, but we found that the masters of the Ouroboros tribe were one step ahead of us.
, plundered all the food supplies early and transported them back to their Gollanka Mountain City, otherwise they wouldn’t have gotten so much!”
"Isn't Prince Liushui who was originally responsible for raising food and supplies a blood-kissed species? Now that he is dead, won't the masters of the Ouroboros tribe provide food and supplies to the army? Then why fight?" asked the soldier.
"Hey! If this battle can continue, will the Ouroboros tribe go crazy and search for supplies?" The thick-lipped and big-nosed civilian revealed a mysterious smile.
The soldier asked: "What? What news did you hear? Even though this place is closer to the front line, that weirdo who messed with bugs didn't even let us know about the war outside!"
"It is said that Dr. Olenso of Chaihei Town can even defeat the Prince of the Earth. Our army suffered heavy casualties on the front line! Maybe the men of the Ouroboros tribe realized that this battle was unwinnable and were worried about Grenfa.
There will be bigger troubles in the future, so we have prepared food supplies in advance." The citizen whispered:
"And I've also heard that in order to take over Woodpile Town, the Sons of the Holy Scales secretly colluded with the Empire. Not only did they sell out many mines, but they even asked the Two-winged Species to capture children from various tribes, and maybe sell them as slaves.
Imperial man... Huh? Why are you so pale?"
The civilian husband was still whispering there, while the soldier on the opposite side looked over his shoulder and stared behind the civilian husband with wide eyes.
"We had a great time chatting."
A putrid smell approached, and the farmer with thick lips and big nose swung his body around. When he saw the insect operator with a skull and a stick in his hand, and his body covered with dirty cloth, his legs trembled with fear and he could not speak.
Word.
"Spread rumors, shake the morale of the army, sow discord among tribes..." The insect master's fingers were as skinny as a skeleton and he counted them one by one. His plain tone was like a death sentence, which made people frightened: "You don't know that you spoke so randomly last time.
What will happen to you? Just based on these things, I have to wonder if you were sent by those rebels... Oh? You have good perseverance. Seeing that I was not scared enough to wet my pants, such a person should
Send them to death squads instead of transporting food and grass to the rear."
Ten feet around the insect operator, the aura of fear lingered like a dark mist. The soldier who was inquiring about the news was already crawling with fear, and the bison on the side, who was several inches taller than the civilian husband, was even more uneasy.
Move your hooves and breathe heavily through your nose.
"I, I..." The man couldn't finish his sentence for a long time.
At this time, the insect operator seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the surging river. Just when he was about to cast a spell, the eyes of the man with thick lips and big nose flashed silver, and a stream of water shot out from his palms.
The raging flames were like flames squeezed out of the bellows, carrying strong impact air waves and making a wild whistling sound.
The flames of burning iron engulfed a fan-shaped area with a radius of 100 feet in front. The few soldiers who were affected only let out half a scream and were burned into coke before they even had time to escape. The figure of the insect operator was only in the flames.
It lasted for a few seconds and was burned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
"It seems that he is also a cunning person." The civilian husband who suddenly showed extraordinary abilities had a calm expression on his face. He raised his feet and walked on the ground filled with embers. With a flick of his finger, the detection effect of psychic powers was on the ground.
Ripples formed in the air and spread, searching the sky and the earth.
"I found you, Bug." The incarnation of Xuan Weizi came step by step to the Secret Bug Cave at the corner of the Torrent Bay Fortress. He is here now to cooperate with me in the battle in Chai Dui Town and completely cut off the Glan Faz army.
There is no escape route and supplies, so it is easy to get rid of the insect handler stationed here.
The panicked soldiers in the Torrent Bay Fortress were so frightened that they fled when they saw Xuan Weizi cast such a powerful spell and instantly burned the "Insect Master" to ashes, unable to organize an effective resistance. After all, the most important thing at the moment was
The elites have all been mobilized to fight on the front lines. Those responsible for garrisoning logistics supplies here are basically old, weak and disabled soldiers.
"The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first. The fortress base where the food and grass materials are stored should be arranged for me to have hundreds of fully armed elite soldiers. Not only that, when entering and leaving the fort, you should use the 'True Seeing Technique' to check all the people entering and leaving the fortress. Now it is like this
What kind of behavior do you have?" Xuan Weizi changed his mind and said with a smile: "That's right, even the mineral veins in the territory have been explored and mapped by the Mysterious Eye. If he had been vigilant, he would not have gotten to this point."
Xuan Weizi stood outside the Secret Worm Cave, looking at the silence and darkness inside. He had no intention of going in to "surge monsters alone". He waved his hand to reveal Biyun Ruyi, and summoned the "Starlight Sprawling Monster" to let it go inside to explore.
Road, then he raised his hand expressionlessly and fired out psychic fireballs one after another, causing the red light to flash in the cave, thick smoke billowing, who knows what was burned, and the stench of the air to rise out.
Under the cover of fire, the starlight creeping monster quickly climbed to the end of the Mystic Worm Cave. There were no complicated branching roads at all. It was just a weird altar with many skulls on it, which was blackened and broken by the fireball.
Before Xuan Weizi could move outside the cave, the soil around him shattered and splashed, and three purple insects with mouths full of spikes came to bite Xuan Weizi.
"It's such a boring trick again." Xuan Weizi teleported into the air in a flash, lowered his head and said to the three purple insects: "No wonder the Son of Holy Scale didn't let you go to the battlefield to fight with the army. Although you are good at manipulating insects
, but it is nothing more than the Druid's 'Giant Insect Technique', 'Plague Swarm' and 'Insect Erosion'. Even if the bugs become larger, the carapace is harder, and they can spit out a few mouthfuls of acid poisonous spider webs, there is nothing else.
It's such an outstanding performance. Once the fire breaks out, you will die or die. Your combination of insect swarms and necromancy is very interesting. You should have figured it out by yourself, right?"
During the detection of psychic powers, under the entire Torrent Bay Fortress, there was a network of tunnels dug by purple insects. Countless insects gathered inside, just like a swarm of insects that preyed on people. If
Instead of having an army fortress on the ground, it might become a dangerous area inhabited by giant insects, waiting for adventurers to conquer and clean it up.
The insect master's body is also hidden inside, but with the strength of Xuan Weizi's incarnation, he can only vaguely detect that he is underground, and cannot accurately determine his specific location.
Faced with Xuan Weizi's provocative words, the Insect Controller didn't have any answer this time. Xuan Weizi guessed that he had informed the Son of Saint Scale about the raid on Torrent Bay Fortress. The other party was probably about to explode with anger, right?
"Do it."
Xuan Weizi was not polite and sent the message quietly. But in the direction of Torrent Bay, the river water suddenly surged. The temporary low earth wall built along the river bend of the fortress suddenly turned into soft mud and collapsed, unable to stop the surging river water and pouring back.
Break into the fortress.
The flood was flooding. This was Fulun and many spirit messengers working together to "control the water level" on the other side of the river. Looking at the water waves rushing ashore, Xuan Weizi once again lamented the power of Prince Liushui. If he took action, it is estimated that three
In two strokes, the entire fortress was turned into a fish pond.
Insects are not afraid of water, but if the underground tunnel network is flooded with water, there will be no other place to retreat. Water has no permanent shape, but it is also pervasive. The three purple worms drilled the holes left by the ground on their own, and now they caused a flood.
's entrance.
The swarms of insects that did not want to be submerged in the flood looked for escape paths. The purple worms burrowed through the surface, and then a large swarm of insects came out like black mist. What greeted them was the mysterious particles spraying into pieces of frost, and the water dripped into ice.
The wings of these insects are covered with cold mist. Even if these insects can fly, their wings will be frozen stiff and turn into ice crystals falling to the ground.
The water poured in more and more fiercely, and the narrow underground tunnels were finally limited. The insect operator, who was forced to lose all retreat, broke through the ground in one fell swoop. The thick ground of the Torrent Bay Fortress seemed to be overturned by a huge force, and clods of earth flew around.
As soon as the smoke and dust gradually disappeared, a skinny and pale human upper body was revealed, but his lower body was a giant scorpion the size of a rhinoceros, swinging up a scorpion tail hook full of poison and an evil light, and his arms were connected
A pair of stainless steel-colored pincers!
"Scorpion-bodied man?!" Xuan Weizi was a little surprised. He had seen similar creatures in the monster illustration compiled by the mage. They were mainly found in arid deserts, but he had never heard of such creatures in the New World before.
However, if you look closely, you will see that there is a snail-shaped sac on the back of the giant scorpion. The surface is full of entangled maggots and humus, like a mobile nest for cultivating larvae.
"I understand. If I guess correctly, you have transformed yourself into a magical synthetic monster that is half human and half insect. Oh, or rather, transformed into a seedbed for cultivating larvae?"
Xuan Weizi noticed the distorted life fluctuations and mixed magical aura on the insect master's body, and found that they did not come from the characteristics of a single life form, so he immediately made a corresponding judgment.
Using magical means to transform the original physiological structure of an organism, or even combining different functions of different organisms to create a brand new existence, all such things are collectively referred to as magical synthetic monsters.
Some mages are good at this, and are keen on cultivating all kinds of powerful and strange magical beasts, creating magical monsters such as the aberrant chimera, which are a mixture of lions, goats, and dragons.
Theoretically speaking, the creeping monster can also be regarded as some kind of magic synthesis monster, but the ancient giants have higher magical attainments, so that the fluctuations of life are integrated into one, and the traces of "synthesis" are undetectable.
Another more special existence is Onvino of the Emerald Ring. This advanced druid who specializes in the "wilderness transformation" skill, after receiving the "Hundred Beasts Swallowing Forms" from Xuan Weizi, can transform into a...
Powerful synthetic beasts combine the external forms and inner lives of different beasts, and have supernatural abilities that cannot be dispelled.
As for the insect master who looks like a scorpion man in front of him, although he has transformed himself into a magical synthetic monster, in Xuan Weizi's view, there is a sense of rough splicing that cannot be ignored, like poorly sewn cloth, with a centipede shape.
The line mouth is clearly visible.
However, being inferior has the advantage of being inferior, that is, there are traces to follow. The magically synthesized monster is not only the splicing of the body, but also the fusion and transformation of the soul and body. It belongs to the category of body change, and the body change may have a certain influence on Xuan Weizi's future.
Practicing spiritual practice is not helpful.
Although Xuan Weizi's current alchemy realm has broken through the vacuum and entered the womb to nourish his soul, he faintly discovered that no matter how much his cultivation and magic power improved, and his soul was refined several times, he still couldn't figure out the way to reincarnate himself.
Originally on the earth, the human cauldron coincided with the Qi of heaven and earth. If one had enough divine power and kung fu, he could sense the auras of heaven and earth, and he could cultivate his purity over a long period of time. There was no need to additionally understand the way of change. If he accumulated bit by bit and worked hard, he would have the opportunity to be reborn.
Xuanweizi Yuan Shen's state of mind has already experienced the experience of being reborn. The calamity of reshaping is not difficult for him. But the problem now is that he can't even find the way to the calamity of reshaping. This means that the obstacle comes from the physical furnace in front of him.
, lacks a motivation and opportunity for transformation.
Generally speaking, people who practiced Taoism before the Middle Ages took external elixirs to assist in rebirth. Ancient immortals, such as "Hundred Beasts Swallow Their Forms", used human bodies to transform into birds and beasts, which confirmed rebirth and transcendence.
Object categories, both of these paths can be used for reference.
Xuanweizi built Chaidui Town and founded the Changqing Chamber of Commerce. One of the purposes was to provide himself with enough alchemy experiments and drug development to assist him in refining the external elixir bait medicine. However, for people like Xuanweizi, the physical changes
He will not let go of the path of soul transfer. Reshaping one's body and changing one's bones, dispersing one's form and changing one's scenery, is also the path to understand the rules and regulations of heaven and earth.
Nowadays, Xuan Weizi knows very little about magical synthetic monsters, and he is worried that he does not have a good experimental subject for him to "analyse in depth".
At this time, Wolf and the Horned Chief, each armed with battle axes and spears, galloped over from a distance; Fulun led a group of spirit messengers, instigating various spells of ice, fire, acid, and thunder, and targeted the insect master from the outside.
.
Xuan Weizi stared at the ferocious-faced insect master on the ground, and said softly: "I want ten pounds of fine meat, finely chopped to make sauerkraut. Do you want to cut it yourself, or let us help?"
