Chapter 65: Fighting in the Jungle
The first floor of the labyrinth, where the torrents converge, is a grotto called the "Chamber of Thousand Rocks".
More than three hundred elites of the Shark tribe stood here, holding harpoons and quietly looking at the jagged cave and the wide grotto.
Dozens of holes are connected here.
Not only did the rushing water converge here, it was said that the Demon King's army and the baggage troops also passed through here!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the transportation hub in the southwest of the first level of the entire maze.
If you want to change the direction of the water flow, building a dam here is the best choice... Almost only a few rock walls are needed to drain the rushing torrent to other outlets.
Sodor of the Grayfin Tribe believed that even an outsider like himself could think of this, and there was no reason why the owner of the maze wouldn't know.
That guy might be on the way already!
int welcome in in ininginginging the soldiers —— sodo closed his eyes.
With the tip of the harpoon in his hand facing downwards, he completely submerged his five senses under the water, and followed the flowing water waves to spread around.
All movements within 100 meters are under control!
Sodor's lips curved into a ferocious smile.
The taste of the devil——
He can't wait!
…
The southwest part of the Silver Pine Forest.
A sturdy lizard man stood next to the entrance of the cave, his majestic eyes staring intently at the entrance of the cave filled with river water.
After a long time, he groaned.
… I don’t know if the group of eight-legged bugs drowned."
Hearing the voice of the clan leader, the tribesmen standing around exchanged glances, without any ideas, and talked in low voices.
"I think it's 80% drowned."
"It's been almost two hours, at least tens of thousands of tons of water have been poured into it."
"Tens of thousands of tons? That's more than that!"
Nils didn't speak, but looked at the patriarch Sanu with some worry.
Since being humiliated by the little devil’s messenger last time, their patriarch has been stunned and has never used normal names to call the monsters in the maze.
For example, the little devil is a mouse with wings, and the burrow spider is an eight-legged insect...
It can be seen that he is still angry.
Nils paused for a moment and whispered.
Sanu grinned, narrowed his eyes slightly as he stared at the entrance of the maze, and continued.
“Perhaps like the group of snakes with gills said, that guy may have gone to the confluence point of the torrent. In any case, we just need to ensure that the water flow here is smooth——”
Before he could finish his words, a gunshot was suddenly heard in the distance.
The lizardmen quickly looked in the direction of the gunfire, and saw a group of startled birds and flying dust at the edge of the forest.
"Musket?!"
"Is it a human?!"
"How could——"
Sounds of astonishment came and went, and the faces of all the lizardmen showed expressions of uncertainty, and even a hint of panic.
Compared to the new Demon King, it was obvious that the human army that had just defeated the Demon King's army not long ago was more worthy of their fear.
The same goes for Sanu, who is the leader of the clan.
When he heard the gunshot, his heart suddenly thumped.
But as he looked into the distance and saw the white bones running in the billowing dust, he immediately reacted after being stunned a second ago.
"Not human——"
At the same time, the roar of the Earth Dragon Clan's sentinels was heard in the distance.
"Undead!! It's the undead!"
Without any time to hesitate, Sanu immediately pulled out the dragon tooth spear stuck to the side and let out a war cry at the tribesmen scattered around.
"Get ready to fight!!!"
In the blink of an eye, the encounter at the edge of the jungle has begun!
On one side are more than 500 earth dragon warriors, and on the other side is an undead army composed of 800 skeleton soldiers and undead rats.
Judging from the panel attributes alone, the latter's comprehensive combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the former, even if fully one-eighth of the 800 undead are black iron-level extraordinary beings.
Almost all the Earth Dragon warriors have no doubt that they only need one charge to overwhelm this group of cannon fodder troops who don’t know the heights of the sky!
However, something unexpected happened for all the lizard men - "Long live the Demon King!!!!"
Before the lizardmen who had just assembled could realize what was happening, the fire from the explosion blew them away in an instant!
The power seemed to far exceed that of human gunpowder, so much so that the moment he saw the flickering fire, Nils even had the illusion that it was actually magic——
He vaguely remembered where he had heard of it.
The ancient Mechanicus believers can use a powerful "explosion magic" that can even make the sky and the earth change color and mountains collapse with a wave of their hands!
While he was dazed, another skeleton soldier rushed towards the lizardman warrior who was blown away on the front line in the same pattern. It seemed that he was still chewing something in his crunching mouth.
「Cat girl! My cat——!」
Boom——!
The shock wave of the explosion raged through the forest. This time it seemed to be more powerful than the previous wave, directly blasting a gap in the line of the lizard warriors!
Seeing the tide of skeleton skirmishers approaching with great force, Nils and Sanu's expressions changed completely.
If these were all exploding skeletons, what the hell would that be? ?
Skeleton soldiers are originally cannon fodder.
Exchange flesh and blood for cannon fodder, no matter how you exchange it, they will lose!
Being chased by the undead...
What a shame!
Sanu’s eyes were bloodshot. He took a deep breath and was about to release a dragon roar towards the sea of skeletons, but a roar came over him first.
"Shut up!" (Dragon Language)
That majestic roar was like a hammer hitting a forge. The earth-shattering sound shook his mind and he almost subconsciously closed his mouth.
It would be okay if he usually suffered from this silence, but the dragon's roar that rolled out of his throat almost came to his mouth.
The shaking energy was just suppressed by his tightly closed mouth, almost causing his internal organs to shift.
Wiping away the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, Sanu stared straight at the direction of the roar with wide eyes.
It’s not wrong——
That’s a dragon’s roar!
And unlike his pure roar, the other party has obviously mastered the real dragon language, injecting more advanced power into the roar!
But why? !
Sanu couldn't understand.
A mere necromancer is actually worthy of using the power of the Dragon God? !
What a blasphemy! ! !
"Ahhh...!"
A ball of anger welled up in his heart. Sanu clenched the dragon tooth spear in his hand, and his pair of amber pupils had completely turned blood red.
He is going to kill this guy!
Whether it is to avenge the dead tribesmen!
For the glory of His Majesty the Dragon God!
This necromancer must die! ! !
"Solar Engine!!!" (Dragon Language)
The furious roar resounded throughout the battlefield, and the spreading shock wave tore pine needles dozens of meters away from the trees!
The lizard man paused unconsciously, then raised his head and let out a deafening roar.
Shrouded in that earth-shattering war cry, the scales on all the earth dragon lizard people were coated with a light golden color!
More than that——
Their momentum, which had plummeted for thousands of miles, also underwent earth-shaking changes at the same time!
The explosives made by suffocating the chemical pool are limited. After all, not every skeleton soldier has an explosive bag on his body.
As the lizard people no longer ran away, they fought head-on towards the sea of skeletons rushing up.
Faced with the impact of these impacting units, the skeleton soldiers who were not even LV1 were instantly knocked away, and their numbers were reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The battle situation that originally turned towards the Necropolis was turned back by the opponent.
Missy was shivering while hiding on the treetop.
She was cheering a second ago, but now she didn’t dare to cheer anymore as she watched the large swaths of skeleton soldiers fall.
"Damn it...when did these lizardmen become so strong?!"
Sure enough——
Are everyone fishing while working for Lord Reggie Dragon? !
Her eyes tried to find the trace of the Demon King, but she saw that the Demon King had disappeared.
This guy——
This guy shouldn’t have slipped away, right? !
Of course Luo Yan did not escape.
Just out of caution, he rode Arakdo up the tree at the beginning of the battle and started preparations before casting the spell——
Constructing the position!
The leader of the Earth Dragon Clan is 80% capable of steel-level strength, and is only higher than lower. He must be 200% cautious in his treatment.
This is not just for himself.
It’s also for the necropolis!
Hushwan, who was holding a musket, looked at the crazy lizards in astonishment and couldn't help but exclaimed and complained.
"What the hell?! This guy went on a group rampage?!"
Yiye Zhiqiu, who was standing aside, remained calm in the face of danger, and the soul fire burning in his skull even faintly emitted a sharp light.
"The BOSS battle is coming!"
He standing here is no longer the same as before!
I think he should be of some use this time!
Gou Shi on the side saw this and quickly pushed the stupidly standing [Past Like Smoke] forward, and then pointed at the lizard who yelled first and shouted.
"Brother, have you seen that guy?! Rush up and give him a hug!" "Ah?!"
whose volume
After noticing what he was doing, the nearby lizard man carrying a scimitar immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Holy shit, how should this thing explode——"
Though the past was like smoke, I couldn't find the lead for a long time. Suddenly my toes kicked the root of the tree and my whole body jumped forward.
Almost at the moment he hit the ground, hot flames spurted out from the palm of his hand, and instantly transformed into boiling air waves!
With his last consciousness, he saw that several lizardmen were blown away by the shock wave of the explosion, and even two pine trees nearby were knocked down!
Several bare bones stepped over his body, without any pause, and immediately rushed to the next death.
Subsequently, his consciousness fell into fragments.
Although he died in a daze, for a moment he felt...
This life was worth it.
The connection is disconnected.
Zhao Jinyan, who was leaning on the chair, let out a long breath, pulled off the second-hand VR glasses on his head, wiped the sweat off his head first, and then took several deep breaths to calm down.
His heart was beating hard.
It's like it's about to pop out of your chest!
After an unknown amount of time, a hint of fanaticism gradually appeared on the face that was as pale as a dead fish, and his whole person seemed to be reborn and came back to life from the muddle-headed state.
This game——
This game is simply awesome! ! !
…
The fighting in the jungle continued, and the collision of bones and flesh did not stop because of the fall of a skeleton soldier.
The lizard man bathed in golden light is like an invulnerable bronze man. No matter how hard the LV0 cannon fodder slashes, he can't be hurt at all!
However——
What they are relying on at this moment is, after all, the power borrowed from the gods.
As time went by, the aura surrounding the Earth Dragon warriors gradually faded, and the shining golden scales finally stopped shining.
A lizardman warrior had just wielded a scimitar and knocked down a skeleton soldier. The next second, he was stabbed through the chest by an undead rat holding a spear.
"First blood! First blood! I got it! Quack, quack!"
The player who succeeded in the sneak attack let out a cunning laugh like a strange scream.
Although his head was smashed by the roaring flying ax before he could finish his joy, the extinguished soul fire already expressed the satisfaction in his heart.
One undead for a lizardman.
It is a profit no matter how you look at it!
The Earth Dragon warrior who was stabbed through the chest by a spear let out a roar of pain, and finally fell into the blood-red mud with full of unwillingness.
Seeing the fatigue of the Earth Dragon warriors who had the upper hand, Luo Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, finally seized the opportunity and gave the order to attack through Bond's mouth.
"Fire!"
The brand new sword stood up from Bond's hand, and then slashed down with a sound of breaking through the air! Players who had been waiting for a long time finally no longer had to be patient and pulled the trigger in their hands.
A series of dense gunshots rang out in the forest, and the noisy rain of bullets was raging through, instantly shooting dozens of lizardman warriors to the ground.
Looking at the skeleton soldiers who were firing like human soldiers, Nils, who was standing among the Earth Dragon warriors, widened his eyes in shock.
It is not uncommon for the undead to have self-awareness——
But this was the first time he saw one, in groups!
Must not let them continue shooting!
He waved the scimitar in his hand and looked at several skeletons in succession, and then shouted loudly at the soldiers beside him.
"Don't get entangled with these cannon fodder! Rush over -"
Before he could finish his words, [Gou Shi], who had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, finally seized the opportunity and jumped forward with a scream.
「MINE!!! MY BOSS!!!」
Niels subconsciously swung the scimitar in his hand, but saw the flames in the opponent's skull flickering with a hint of success.
Not good——
He just thought this, but it was already too late.
The unstable nitroglycerine exploded in an instant, and the flickering flames and flying bone residue engulfed him in an instant!
This is the last dynamite.
But at the same time, this is also the last bronze-level temple warrior of the Earth Dragon Clan!
"Niles!!!"
Seeing the death of the last young talent in the clan, Sanu let out a roar, his amber pupils so red that they seemed to bleed.
He wanted to avenge him, but he couldn't find his enemy!
Looking at Niers who died on the battlefield, the lizardmen who were stuck in the quagmire roared angrily and rushed towards the skeleton shooters who were reloading.
However, how could Luo Yan, who had been waiting for an opportunity to ambush from the beginning of the battle, let these guys succeed so easily?
"Grip of Bones!"
Dazzling black light struck the muddy land like lightning, and pale skeleton hands sprung up out of the soil.
That’s not one hand—
It’s thousands of them!
The densely packed bones are like a forest of thorns!
They grow wildly, wreaking havoc on the wide land, trying to imprison everything that passes by them!
"Ah——!"
"Damn! What is this?!"
"My foot was caught!"
The charging momentum of the Earth Dragon warriors suddenly stopped.
And it was this slight pause that should not have made this their final charge.
"Fire!!!"
There was no need for Luo Yan to command, and there was no way to command it. The player who was the first to complete the reloading quickly pulled the trigger, and then the next one.
The sound of gunshots that kept ringing out was like raindrops splashing on the position of the Earth Dragon warriors, ruthlessly taking them away together with the skeleton soldiers' cannon fodder.
In just a few breaths, there were only two figures of lizardman soldiers still standing, and the muddy ground was covered with corpses.
At this moment, the corpses began to stand up slowly.
Haunted expressions appeared on the scaly faces.
Group undead summons!
If facing the endless undead was enough to scare them, then now they had to face the corpses of their former comrades——
Seeing that the tribe had no strength to fight anymore, Sanu, who was surrounded, waved the dragon's tooth spear that was both a staff and a weapon, and finally made some determination.
Him raised his hand and knocked away the dozens of skeleton soldiers surrounding him, and he let out a roar of hatred toward the forest.
"Demon King -"
"I admit you have a few tricks!"
"But if you think that you can make the earth dragons surrender just by doing this, you are looking down on us with the blood of dragons!"
Luo Yan, who was sitting on Arakdo's back and standing in the shadows, said in a slow voice.
"I never said I want you to surrender."
"What I want is your head."
The believers of the devil can still be won over.
Those who abandon the belief in the devil have only two options - complete death or complete surrender.
Ocodo, who was fighting on the front line, shook off the blood on the blade, repeated the Demon King's words, and then rushed toward Sanu like a gust of wind.
Seeing the young talents in the clan being tortured into such a state of indignity, Sanu felt filled with grief and anger, and finally uttered the last incantation.
That is not dragon language!
"The great dragon soaring in the sky——"
"Your descendants are willing to sacrifice their whole body blood and the young dragon's teeth to call for your glory to return to this decaying land!"
The tip of the dragon's tooth spear flickered, and finally dispersed like dust.
After understanding the content of the spell, Luo Yan's pupils shrank suddenly.
This is——
Sacrifice? !
Without any hesitation, he immediately used the silence technique.
"Shut up!" (Dragon language)
It’s no use! ! !
However, Sanu, standing in the center of the storm's eye, seemed not to hear it, and kept reciting the chilling mantra to himself.
Golden lightning surrounded his body, and suddenly a thunderbolt fell from the clear sky and struck him hard on the top of his head!
The surging electric current stirred up thousands of feet of dust, destroying his body in an instant!
But at the same time, the thunder that descended from the sky also gave him a new body!
The violent airflow blew away the dust.
The moment the dust dispersed, the presence standing on the battlefield made all the players widen their eyes in surprise.
The leader of the Earth Dragon Clan who stood proudly in front of Okodo has disappeared.
In its place is a real giant dragon with a wingspan of more than ten meters wide, a head that does not reach the top of the pine trees, and looks like a mountain!
Luo Yan has not responded yet.
Hillary Alakdo, who was riding under him, had already kicked off his eight legs and collapsed on the spider web between the branches of the tree in horror, almost throwing the Demon King down.
"The devil is above! This, how... how majestic is this?!"
On the other side, Missy, who was floating in the air, was even more helpless, and was frightened to the point of peeing by this horrifying scene.
"Damn it...Damn it, damn it...the giant dragon?!"
It's really over now!
