I am the Scourge

Chapter 176 Return of the Siren
【Abyss Magic Well】

[fourth order]

[Level: Perfect]

[Attributes: Prosperity +50, Stability -10]

【Efficiency: 1000/1h】

[Explanation: The magic well that communicates with the abyss can continuously produce a large amount of pure abyss energy. When the energy in the magic well accumulates to more than 50%, it will produce an abyss crystal at regular intervals]

……

Wisps of dark red energy surged in the magic well, swimming like dark snakes.And above the magic well, there seems to be an invisible barrier, which always prevents these pure energies from escaping.

Produces 1000 units of energy per hour.

Li Wei couldn't help being surprised.

After the fourth level of the territory, a series of basic types of mana buildings are unlocked, including the Weeping Soul Spring exclusive to the undead.

The same is energy-gathering buildings.

But the energy output of a Howling Soul Spring is only about 15 units per hour, and it also needs souls as fuel.

In contrast.

The energy output efficiency of the Abyss Demon Well is 67 times that of the Howling Soul Spring!
And the Abyss Demon Well does not require any consumption!
This is the perfect building!

Li Wei couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

There is no doubt that with such an abyssal magic well, Soul Soil will never lack energy in its future development.

Even, in turn, Li Wei has to worry about how to consume the energy produced by the abyss magic well.

Excess energy will continue to accumulate in the magic well, and sooner or later it will be filled up, breaking through the upper limit. At that time, it is still unknown whether he can rely on the threat of the power of chaos to suppress the powerful demon deep in the magic well.

Did not struggle for too long.

Li Wei then opened the list of buildings in the territory.

After the fourth level, there are more than 100 more basic types of buildings that can be built.And this does not include the faction-exclusive buildings he unlocked after he joined the Blackfire Legion. The large number of Li Wei was dazzled for a while.

He first screened out the energy categories, and then filtered out the buildings that produce energy, and selected several devices that convert energy.

Abyss energy can of course be used directly.

However, its unique assimilation will lead to demonization of units exposed to abyssal energy for a long time.

Although demonization will increase combat power to a certain extent.

However, it can also cause the unit to become insane and become uncontrollable.At the cost of sacrificing absolute dominance, in exchange for an increase in the army's combat power, no matter how you look at it, it is a deal that will lose your pants.

to this end.

Li Wei also deliberately built the Abyss Demon Well away from the territory.

In this way, it is nothing more than setting up a few more energy transmission pipelines, but it reduces the possibility of large-scale chaos.

Throne of Bones.

Levi finally settled on this energy conversion device.

Among the four buildings of the same type, the Throne of Bones is the one with the lowest conversion efficiency and the highest loss.

It has only one feature.

durable.

A Throne of Bones can continue to operate for more than ten years. It does not need to send people to repair it frequently, and it can also reduce the risk of subordinates being demonized.

Teams of skeleton workers were sent to the magic well to start construction.

Li Wei wanted to send those human slaves there.

But after thinking about it, the probability of being demonized after close contact with the magic well is basically 100%. The workers sent to build the Throne of Bones must be cleaned up afterwards. Such a waste of human slaves is indeed a waste.

The work efficiency of the human race is several times that of ordinary undead, so it should not be used as a one-time consumable.

It is initially estimated that at least 54 thrones of bones must be built to completely convert the abyssal energy produced by the magic well every day.

After thinking about it, Li Wei simply doubled it and directly built [-] bone thrones. Although the spare bone thrones would increase the consumption, Li Wei's purpose was to prevent the energy accumulated by the abyss magic well from breaking through the limit.

but.

At present, he has not mastered the means of efficient energy storage.

Now that the energy of the abyss is fully converted, there is excess magic energy that cannot be consumed, so it can only be allowed to dissipate.As the only energy source in the game world, mana is the most precious resource, so doing so is undoubtedly a waste.

Li Wei made a rough calculation.

The conversion loss of the Throne of Bones is 20%, and the loss rate of the energy transmission pipeline is estimated to be controlled within the range of 15% to 25%.

Calculated on the basis of the highest loss rate.

45%.

There are 54 thrones of bones, which can still convert 13200 units of pure mana every day.

That's a pretty huge number.

You must know that only 1 unit of magic energy can support 100 standard-sized magic energy lamps to illuminate for a whole day.

In a four-story building.

Li Wei saw the building with the highest energy consumption, the Banshee Tower.

The magic energy consumed in one day is only 5 units.

From the current point of view, the operation of only five bone thrones is enough to solve the energy consumption problem of Soul Soil...

Yeah.

Li Wei looked up at the unfathomable giant pit.

With its current output efficiency, it will not be a matter of one day to completely fill it. I can wait until the abyss energy in it is filled to 50%, and then activate all the bone thrones at full power.

Thus.

You can also prostitute a wave of that special abyss crystal...

Li Wei continued to look.

There is no need to worry about energy issues, he naturally saved some detailed planning, and Li Wei's eyes were directly fixed on those buildings with high consumption but high efficiency.

Banshee Tower.

This is one of the buildings that must be owned after level [-] of the cemetery.

In addition to having all the functions of a general sentry tower, the banshee sentry tower's most important function is that within the coverage of the sentry tower, Li Wei can freely connect the consciousness of any unit it belongs to.

Rather than being limited to a mind control range of 200 meters.

Moreover, the effect of the banshee sentry tower can be interconnected, which is equivalent to the signal base station.

A banshee tower can cover an area 500 meters in diameter.

By building a few more Banshee sentry towers, Li Wei can observe the movement of the entire territory without leaving home.

The only disadvantage of the banshee tower is that its defense ability is slightly weaker.

when the war happened.

It is easy to be deliberately targeted and destroyed by the enemy.

to this end.

Li Wei chose another combat building as an auxiliary.

ghost fortress.

Said it was a fortress.

This kind of building is actually a giant biological hybrid, and its name is Youmo.

Youmo is a huge creature with a size of more than 30 meters. It looks like a ghost, but it has a solid body. Its body is pitch black. Its melee and long-range output are extremely powerful. The only drawback is that it cannot move.

Youmo devour thousands of kilograms of flesh and blood every day.

or 3 units of mana.

The combat power of a Youmo can be compared with a 200-man fourth-tier troop.

The banshee sentry tower itself can also station hundreds of soldiers, which has certain defensive capabilities. In wartime, with such a defensive force, not to mention that it can delay the arrival of support troops, at least it can issue a warning in time, so that Li Wei can help. Prepare.

……

Soul Evolution Institute.

Flesh training ground.

These two buildings correspond to ghost creatures and undead creatures with entities.The effect is to allow low-level units that have no promotion paths to get a chance for career promotion.

This is the exclusive building of the Blackfyre Legion.

However, the evolution probability of these two buildings is not 100%, and it can be said to be very low.

But in the end, it gave hope of promotion to those low-level arms.

……

Flame Racecourse.

Cultivate Tier [-] mounts - Flame Bone Horses. Flame Bone Horses are the mounts needed to train Tier [-] Necromancer Knights and Tier [-] Evil Knights.

Li Wei has always had a special desire to train a cavalry.

Previously, from the blueprint of the Undead Knight Battalion unlocked from Thunder Cloud Fort, he had built ten more, and the speed of training knights could fully meet the needs of forming a cavalry unit.

The only thing is that the number of bone horses captured has not met expectations.

With the flame horse farm, you can directly cultivate flame bone horses through materials. A flame horse farm can train 55 flame bone horses a week, and if you build a few more, you don't have to worry about the problem of mounts.

……

Bloodbone Butchery.

Cultivate Tier [-] units to hate butchers.

This thing can be said to be an iconic unit of the undead tribe.

It is worth mentioning that the Abominable Butcher is not an ordinary Tier [-] unit, but an elite unit.

The abominable butcher is born with rough skin and thick flesh, and can also restore health by killing enemies. His survivability is even stronger than that of the shield guard.

And their talent: every time they kill an enemy, they will get a permanent attack boost, which makes them have almost unlimited growth possibilities. Once cultivated, they will be like a meat grinder on the battlefield.

……

Ghost Festival Hall.

Cultivate the fourth-tier unit Spectral Devourer.

The Devourer of Souls is a turret-type legal system unit. Its advantage is that it has a long attack range, which is comparable to that of an archer.

Li Wei originally had a Tier [-] legal system unit.

Shadow Mage.

However, the role of the shadow mage is more inclined to assist. In the previous war, Li Wei only used one of their abilities.

The fog of death.

The effect of the fog of death changing the environment is very powerful.

If fighting in an environment that is not conducive to undead, the Shadow Mage is naturally the first choice, but compared to the output ability, the Shadow Mage is not 01:30 worse than the Devourer of Souls.

And the forces Li Wei recruited, the Black Fire Mage, have never had much sense of existence due to their short hands. Their only function now is to become a 24-hour tool to brush secret realms.

……

As for the other Tier [-] recruiting buildings, Li Wei looked at them, but none of them aroused his interest.

He already has a relatively complete arms system, so he doesn't need to recruit too many complicated arms.

That would only cloud his judgment.

After that, Li Wei only raised a series of Tier [-] recruitment and production buildings, such as the Skeleton School Field and the Desolate Demon Tower, to Tier [-].

Some planning down.

There are already hundreds of instructions piled up in the to-be-built list of Soul Soil.

Fortunately, Li Wei captured more than 1 ethnic slaves and filled the vacancies of workers. Otherwise, with the efficiency of undead labor, such a huge project may not be completed even after a few months of busy work.

And now it will take about half a month to fully complete.

The premise is,
These slaves can survive half a month in the Nether...

correct.

It suddenly occurred to Li Wei that most of the dwarves and goblins in the underground tribe had moved away, and it was just right for these slaves to live there.

As for the views of the two tribes on this matter...

Does it matter?
Li Wei quickly put the matter aside.

After the territory is promoted to four levels, the biggest improvement is the efficiency of production buildings.

The mining field was originally mined by manpower, and replaced with a mana-driven excavation drill.When logging, they no longer only rely on brute force to cut down, but replaced it with a more efficient magic energy chainsaw...

compared to before.

The collection efficiency of Tier [-] buildings has increased by at least ten times.

This is a wave of technological innovation.

But in fact, relatively speaking, the improvement of the undead clan after being promoted to the fourth-level territory is still relatively small.

after all.

The technology of the undead race is still not as advanced as other races.

The characteristics of low intelligence make them more obedient, but they also lack the corresponding creative ability.

Whether it is the general building of the undead clan or the power building of the Black Flame Legion, after the fourth level, it is still mainly recruiting and training arms. The purpose of this group of existence is for aggression and war.

It can be said.

After the fourth level of the territory, it is the dominant period to officially enter the undead clan.

Without the population limit, the uncontrolled explosion of troops will bring the military power of the undead into a period of rapid improvement.

Even to the later stage.

Even if the technological level of other races improves, with the magic cannon and war golem, it will be difficult to resist the attack of the undead army like a mountain of corpses.

Not to mention.

It is not that the undead tribe does not have high-level arms.

Bone Dragon, Nightmare, Skeleton Monarch, etc., are all powerful single combat powers comparable to War Golems.

Therefore, as long as Li Wei can take advantage of the race and crush it all the way, there will be no such thing as a weak period.

Originally, Li Wei also considered this way.

But after getting Moon Alchemy, he had to come up with some other ideas.

Of course, he didn't want to give up the advantages of the undead race.

he was just thinking,
Is it possible to let the dual genres of explosive soldiers and climbing technology go hand in hand?

This requires investing more resources.

However, with the Abyss Demon Well, the most costly step has been resolved.

leftover.

That is, some resources that need to be invested in research.

He has the natural advantage of the Lunar Alchemy inheritance, and he can completely crush other players on the road to technology advancement!

"..."

Li Wei fell into deep thought.

If he wants to advance in technology, relying on the building types of the undead will definitely not be able to meet his needs.

this means.

He must develop a territory of other intelligent races...

If you want to say the first choice, it must be the human race.

His current form is also close to that of a human.

As for the loss of prestige caused by enslaving the human race before, you only need to do some tasks to get it back.If he can obtain a piece of territory among the human race, it will be much smoother to carry out scientific and technological research in the future...

wow...

The sound of waves rang faintly in Li Wei's ears, and he seemed to be able to smell a wet and salty sea breeze.

The blood moon is over.

The Sea of ​​Storms also calmed down.

Although the sky over the entire sea area was still shrouded in thick thunderclouds, lightning flashed across densely, and countless thunder snakes danced wildly, but compared to the doomsday scene when the blood moon tide came, it was obviously much calmer.

"Ugh...!"

A huge sea beast roared dully in the open sea.

It caused thunder to roll.

The pitch-black seawater suddenly parted to both sides, forming a wide road.I saw countless fishermen with smooth bodies and steel forks in their hands, guarding a dwarf craftsman with a sluggish expression as he returned from the waves.
