Lord of Hyranza

For a long time, from the simplest fireball technique to the fifth-level magic meteorite, this kind of explosive damage has never been inseparable from magicians. They either throw out the prepared magic scrolls, or simply recite spells to cast magic. Spells, big fireballs, bursting flames, walls of fire, hell flames, volcanoes... Every time the fire magicians break through a level, they can cast more powerful fire magic.

Although many armies of the Green Empire are equipped with fire scale bombs, the core of this firearm is also a simple magic scroll.

For a long time, the members of the adventure group thought that the black powder keg was like a flint that would explode, and it could only be used in a big battle. But this time they obviously opened their eyes. It turns out that the black powder keg can still be used like this. .

This thing is too destructive. Most of the corpses of ghost pattern soldier ants brought back from the battlefield were burnt black. This part of the hard armor can no longer be used. How much fresh meat comes out.

This kind of battle, the wear and tear on the battlefield is really too great, the heads of some ghost-pattern soldier ants were blown apart, and the magic cores inside did not know where they flew.

Just as the ghost-patterned red ants were forced back into the depths of the cave by the explosion, some cave entrances also began to collapse amid the explosion.

Moreover, these heavy armored infantry soldiers seem to be artificially controlling the number of collapsed holes.

They not only kept some holes used by the adventure group for hunting, but also selected some wormholes with less depth and slightly inclined angles to keep. These preserved holes were prepared for the future general attack.

The explosion continued for a whole day.

At dusk, finally there was a tank-like ghost-striped male ant in the cave, struggling to climb out of the cave against the frequent explosions of the black powder barrel.

There were no nimble ghost-striped soldier ants around them. When they came out of the ground, their majestic bodies pushed up countless huge stone slabs, and a large amount of sour liquid was sprayed out from the mouth of the ghost-striped male ants, which immediately stirred up the surrounding heavy armored ants. The infantry soldiers were turned on their backs, and some soldiers were even stained with some sour liquid.

Andrew and Carrie Decker saw the ghost-striped male ants emerging, and immediately rushed to support them.

And Samira was sitting on the control console of a bed crossbow, aiming the giant crossbow at the ghost-striped male ant in the distance, pulling the trigger without hesitation, and the crossbow flew out at an extremely fast speed...

Holding two axes in his hands, Andrew leaped high, and the moment the giant ax slashed down in the air, the blade of the ax slashed across the sky, triggering an electric arc to slash down.

The electric arc and the battle ax smashed on the top of the ghost pattern male ant's head at the same time, and the hard armor leather with patterns was instantly split into a deep wound by the sharp axe.

There are hundreds of wormhole exits on the side of the stone arch bridge. Except for some well-positioned holes that are suitable for fighting ghost-striped red ants, the other wormholes were all blown away by the black powder barrel.

Chapter 1297 Caves

Before exploring the eastern cave, Suldak blew up nearly half of the entrance of the ant nest with black powder, which greatly slowed down the daily fighting intensity of the lord army.

Although this wave of explosions attracted a fierce counterattack from several ghost-striped male ants that were bigger than the magic caravan, the battle was quickly subsided by the joint efforts of Andrew, Samira and Wolf Knight Tiger.

When the second-rank powerhouses faced these huge ghost-striped male ants, the battle was relatively easy, and these ghost-striped males were hunted for the first time this year. Before that, for a year and a half, Haunted Drones never come out of the Poison Mist Swamp.

When the corpse of the ghost-striped male ant was brought back from the battlefield by a four-wheeled truck, the merchants in the military business group were talking about these monster materials. No matter how much it costs, they will grab one.

However, for these ghost-striped male ants, the price Suldak sold to the merchant group was not high, and they were only eligible to trade with the military merchant group.

Although these ghost-striped male ants are large in size, the hard armor on their bodies is too thick to be practical. The only valuable thing is the magic core in the skull of the ghost-striped male ants, which has a high probability of obtaining high-level The magic core of the magic spar.

Merchants want to buy ghost pattern drones, it is said that they are used to make specimen statues, and then transport them back to Bena City.

It is said that the aristocratic lords in Bena City like to collect such high-level monster specimens. Many noble lords will be very interested in such a monster at the peak of the third level. The surface of the carapace is painted with waterproof varnish. Many wealthy nobles like to place such a high-level monster specimen in the vestibule as a sculpture.

Taking out the most valuable magic core inside, Suldak will sell these ghost-striped drones at the price of three magic crystals each.

Immediately, there was a heated discussion among other business groups in the camp, and everyone began to think that it is really a good thing to become a military business group.

In addition to the daily fixed gains from the lord's army, the daily gains of those adventure groups are also uninterrupted, and some adventure groups and lucky ones have hunted giant ghost-striped soldier ants. This kind of monster itself is also very valuable. It is said that On the day of hunting, he was bought back by a local businessman in Bailin for [-] magic crystals.

Right next to the lord's army camp, a large number of field tents have been set up by the military trading company, which looks like a large free market.

"The 11-person adventure group has a record of hunting and killing eleven ghost-striped soldier ants at a time, and now recruits a sharpshooter..."

"Eight-person adventure group, the best record is to hunt five ghost-striped soldier ants, and now recruit two shield warriors who are above the middle stage of the first rank. They need to have a piece of magic-stripe structure and a magic shield, which can block the ghost-striped soldier ants with a full blow. Those with combat experience are preferred!"

Temporary recruitment information like this was actually posted on the walls on both sides of the barracks.

Every day, some new adventure groups arrive on the battlefield. Seeing the lively scene and the truckloads of loot shipped out, all members of the adventure group who come here will be too excited to sleep on the first wild night.

There were also some adventure groups who came up with the idea that joining the lord's army would be a good idea after seeing the exchange merit list on the bulletin board at the entrance of the barracks.

……

At this moment, Suldak has taken Gulitum, Carrie Decker, and Selena on a journey to explore the cave on the east side. The four of them led less than a hundred followers and first rode at the foot of the mountain. Detour all the way to the bottom of the cave on the east side of Jushan.

As Lance described, the karst cave is actually located between the [-]-meter-high cliff. The arch bridge goes all the way to the east, you have to go to the end of the stone arch bridge, and then go back on the stone arch bridge, so that you can follow the stone arch bridge to the cliff closest to the cave.

In fact, the four of them took a detour to the stone arch bridge with a group of followers. It took nearly two days to pass the stone arch bridge to the place closest to the entrance of the cave, but there is still at least ten meters away from here to the cave. , and there is a cliff between the two, there is no foothold at all.

Looking at Selena, who was riding a white camel, walking side by side with Suldak, Carrie Decker felt secretly envious.

She walked at the end of the team, the magic shotgun was hung in the leather pouch next to the saddle, she was wearing a bulky magic pattern outfit, and she was riding a unique magic pattern warhorse here. Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look like a So heroic.

The two-headed ogre Gullitemu walked at the front of the team. This guy had already killed more than a dozen ghost pattern soldiers on the way. His temper seemed to be much more irritable than before. Both of Naohuaer were talking non-stop. They seemed to be arguing about something, but they were both sticking to their own opinions. These days, no one has been able to convince the other...

There is no road in front of the stone arch bridge. If you want to enter the cave, you must climb the cliff. Although it is not too far, you only need to cross a distance of more than ten meters, but it is also very dangerous.

The stone arch bridge is like a tree root growing from the stone wall. It has no connection with other places, and the closer it is to the giant mountain, the stone arch bridge will become extremely thick.

Standing on the edge of the stone arch bridge, the two-headed ogre Brain Flower said with some worry:

"Even if this cave leads to the mountainside, how do you think the lord's army can cross here?"

"What's so difficult about this..." After Gulitum finished speaking, he stepped back a few meters with a brainstorm, and the three-meter-tall ogre moved forward steadily at the place closest to the cave after a run-up With one leap, his robust body bounced up, even over a distance of more than ten meters, and stepped into the cave steadily.

Gulitum looked back at the people on the stone bridge and waved vigorously at them.

Suldak frowned, and said to Carrie Decker and Selina beside him:

"A temporary pontoon bridge may be needed to connect the stone arch bridge with the cave, and it is estimated that the soldiers of the Lord's Army can pass here..."

Then he added: "Although we can't build a pontoon now, it is still no problem to connect a rope from here to there."

As he spoke, he found a thick hemp rope from his magic pocket, and threw the hemp rope at the two-headed ogre Gulitum...

The terrain of the stone arch bridge is relatively high, and it is easy to slide into the cave through pulleys.

Suldak nailed the rope to the stone arch bridge, and more than 100 followers also slid into the cave along the rope. Suldak and Selina were almost the last to slip into the cave, and only after entering the cave did they discover Gullit Mu has already hunted down a few ghost-striped soldier ants inside, has lit a bonfire, and is about to settle lunch at the entrance of the cave...

Chapter 1298 The Ruins of the World Tree

The exploration team finally entered the cave, and Suldak found that there were no stalactites in the cave at all, and the interior space was much larger than the cave entrance, and some ghost-patterned soldiers could be seen in the depths of the cave. Peeping, they seem to be scared by Gulitum, hiding in those hidden stone crevices, and have no idea of ​​killing them at all.

The light in the depths of the cave seemed a bit dim, only some cracks in the rocks were condensed with an amber luster. Suldak looked up and saw that there were some meswax mixed in the cracks of the rocks. This kind of spar is sold in the magic market. It is a kind of magic gem.

Suldak used his epee to pry off a palm-sized piece, which looked like amber and topaz. There was a faint halo flowing in the gem, and Suldak released some holy light, which penetrated into the gem very smoothly. .

"Is this a magic gem?" Selena followed behind him, curiously looking over it.

Suldak nodded and said: "Although I don't know what kind of gemstone it is, it should have a high value, with good magic guiding and magic power increase..."

Taking advantage of the time when the exploration team was resting in place, Suldak set up an altar and sacrificed the heads of three demon warriors, blessing Gullitum, Carrie Decker and himself with 'insight', so Even if there is some dim light in the cave, it doesn't seem to affect them.

And Selena is the servant of the Goddess of the Night, with an unparalleled affinity in the dark.

Suldak walked a few steps into the cave, and saw some veins of yellow gemstones in a crack...

Just when Suldak was thinking about 'whether this cave is a natural gem mine', Selina came up and said to Suldak in an unusually calm voice:

"This tree of life has been dead for at least ten thousand years, and the entire tree root has been completely petrified. These yellow crystals were originally the blood in this big tree. Later, these big trees died completely, and the blood of the tree was also in this big tree. The inside of the tree slowly condenses into spar."

Suldak found that when Selena said this, her eyes were closed, and her face had a faint radiance, which looked like a great prophet in some temple.

"These ghost-striped red ants are likely to be the instigators of this disaster." Then she said: "Although the ghost-striped red ants live in the body of the world tree, they have not been able to become advanced monsters until now, but the whole group is It's constantly degenerating..."

Listening to Selena's eloquent talk, Suldak looked at Selena with some doubts.

Selena's body shook slightly, she stopped in her tracks, and then opened her eyes, as if she suddenly woke up.

When he looked at Suldak again, his eyes were full of tenderness.

This proves that the real Selena is back. Seeing Suldak staring at her, she blushed slightly and admitted in a low voice:

"She came here just now, and she told me that this place is the remains of the world tree, the ancient god of nature. She may have been inspired by the relics here, so she took the opportunity to lower a ray of consciousness and come to take a look." Selina She followed up, took Suldak's arm, and whispered, "And she also reminded us that this world tree has been completely petrified, and the body has no value, but these gems should be pretty good."

"Is this really a world tree?" Suldak asked seriously.

"Yeah." Selina nodded affirmatively.

"The tree roots alone are bigger than the city of Bena. I really want to know how tall it is." Suldak said with some emotion, and then added some imagination, saying: "Do you know, our The magician flew above the clouds, but he didn't even see the summit... Do you think there is a huge umbrella-shaped canopy above the sky? Or maybe there are some indigenous people living there, or that huge canopy can be built A few cities in the sky come!"

Selena blinked, smiled and said, "If you want to know the answer, try to find it here."

While the two were chatting, Carrie Decker, who entered the cave to explore the way, came back with a magic shotgun and two long legs.

"How's the situation inside?" Suldak leaned forward and asked.

Carrie Decker immediately replied: "The passage is very long, but there are not many ghost-striped red ants here..."

"Then let's continue exploring inside." Suldak said casually.

The team continued to walk inside, and there were still some scattered human skeletons in the cave, some of which were almost turned into ashes, many of which were weapons left by local aboriginal hunters, bone bows and arrows, spears, and Some of the braids are wrapped in magic spar...

The more you go inside, the more you can feel that the cave seems a little damp, and some stone walls even drip water continuously, forming some washbasin-sized puddles in the cave.

Just beside these stone platforms, you can still find some brown moss, which smells very fishy.

There were not many ghost-striped red ants encountered along the way, and the two-headed ogre had a strong desire to fight. He almost smashed the head of the ghost-striped soldier ants he saw, as long as they ran a little slower. .

Moreover, the ghost-patterned soldier ants here are not very strong-willed to resist, and they have never thought about sticking here. They are completely different from the soldier ants at the entrance of the ant nest at the foot of the mountain. The soldier ants over there are completely blocked by their lives. Enter the entrance of the ant nest, and here... As long as Suldak takes a step forward, the ghost pattern soldiers will take two steps back, without any intention of fighting.

"Did we choose the wrong path? They don't care too much about this place!" Carrie Decker whispered his doubts to Suldak.

"Going further inside, I really want to know what's inside..."

Suldak waved his hand, and then led the exploration team to continue exploring the depths of the cave.

This karst cave is actually not very long. Surdak just walked more than 500 meters ahead, and saw a long and narrow light in front of him.

After Gulitum drove away all the ghost-striped soldier ants in the cave, Suldak stood at the exit on the other side of the cave and looked at the scene in front of him. Only then did he know that the assassin hiding in the ant's belly had entered the mountainside. What exactly did I see...

Although it was a bit dark inside, it wasn't pitch black, it was more like evening dusk...

Surdak stood on the edge of the cliff at the other exit of the cave, looked up at the sky above his head, and the sky above his head was a huge circle.

It feels like you are in a huge chimney, or a semi-open-air stadium. The south side is obviously much higher, and the north side is lower. This is why the light cannot come in. This is called dark Insect Valley is really apt.

Afterwards, Suldak suddenly realized that he might really have entered a huge tree hole, and this big tree might only have a stump left, so he could see the sky above his head...

Chapter 1299 The Ruins of the World Tree 2

Surdak stood on the edge of the cave, and at his feet was a huge space surrounded by mountain walls. This space had a boundary. The towering cliffs were inserted into the clouds all the way, and they were in a state of high in the south and low in the north. The top of the cliff was also There are jagged and sharp peaks, which feels like a fir tree whose heart has been completely hollowed out, suddenly broken from the root.

At this moment, Suldak was just standing on the east inner side of the tree hole, and the huge shadow of the southern mountain wall covered the whole area.

However, in the dark worm valley in the tree hole, there are giant mushrooms. Each of those colorful mushrooms is more than 20 meters high. The thick umbrella pillars support the flower umbrellas with a diameter of more than ten meters. There are also some dots that shimmer with light.

Here is a world of mushrooms, almost all the land is covered by lush mushrooms here.

The two-headed ogre Gullitum almost uttered a strange cry, and then leaped forward with big strides. His thick body was surrounded by a set of black iron armor of Nacoma warriors, holding a A mace with a big stick, the bulky body did not stay in the air, it fell like a black shell, and then stepped firmly on a giant mushroom.

His waist was completely embedded in the back of the mushroom umbrella, and then he struggled to crawl out of the mushroom umbrella, stood on the mushroom umbrella with joy on his face, raised his head and made a "peace" gesture to Suldak.

Surdak did not expect such a scene on the other side of the cave.

Even Gunfire Rose Carrie Decker stared wide-eyed, looking at the strange world below supported by flower umbrellas. This tree hole is big enough to hold a provincial-sized city. The only drawback is that Here is where the sun doesn't shine.

I always heard the locals say that the ghost-striped red ants live in the dark worm valley. When Suldak first saw this huge mountain, he complained that the locals were too bad at naming it.

These ghost-striped red ants are clearly hidden in the belly of the giant mountain, so why is the mountain called the Dark Insect Valley?

Only now do I know that there is actually a cave here, and a stone wall nearly a thousand meters high surrounds it...

Carrie Decker sighed: "The Dark Insect Valley is here! It seems that there are not many ghost-striped red ants!"

As soon as the words fell, as if the ghost-striped red ants wanted to refute her words, some ghost-striped worker ants appeared on the surrounding mushroom umbrellas. They cut off the huge mushrooms with their sharp fangs, and then lined up The team moved to the anthill.

Each ghost-striped worker ant appears to be very orderly. They line up in dozens of long teams. Even though there are many shortcuts when carrying them, these ghost-striped worker ants will still rush along the actual route.

"..."

Selina stood on the other side of Suldak, pointed to a group of ghost-striped worker ants at her feet, and said:

"This is their living area, look on those mushroom trees..."

Where Selina pointed, the giant mushroom nearly 20 meters high had almost been dismembered by a group of ghost pattern worker ants, leaving only half an umbrella column.

Seeing the ogre Gulitum jumping down early, Selina also looked at her feet and asked Suldak:

"Then how do we go down?"

Without waiting for Suldak to speak, Carrie Decker pointed to the broken road on the side of the rocky cliff with the magic shotgun in his hand, and said:

"There seems to be a way over there."

Before everyone walked down the "zigzag" slope on the cliff, the two-headed ogre sitting on the mushroom umbrella was besieged by a group of ghost pattern worker ants.
