My players are so fierce

Chapter 556 555. Summoner’s Spring Tauren Summoner is newly released

While Murphy and the young players were running to hunt rats and rescue pirates, the "Slate Expedition Team" of Baphomet's Underground Palace was also advancing their work simultaneously. Compared with the numerical advantage of the main race mission, this team has already entered Baphomet. The team at the middle level of the underground palace shows that quality is king.

There are two gold medalists alone!

Grand Duke Tris personally serves as the psychic core, while Rose Knight Palano, who always pays attention to perfect posture, plays a guest role in team defense and melee attack.

With these two guys here, they can basically plow through Baphoon Te's underground palace from top to bottom.

What's even more outrageous is that these two strong men appeared as auxiliaries tonight. The nominal leader of this "Slate Expedition" is the chief of the Bloodclaw clan who has recently become famous in Transia, the thin little jackal. Man Hog!

Poor Hogg couldn't imagine at any moment in his short life that one day he would actually have two golden bodyguards?

Which jackal could think of such awesome treatment?

In addition to these three people, there are also support psionicist Winnie Corando Lesembra from the "Scarlet Devil Mansion", and Ms. Dorothy, the boss of the Blood Rat Gang and the "Queen of the Sewers". The last one is The astral summoner who was called over to see the world touched you.

He came here on behalf of the players and his mentor, Mr. Murphy.

In the face of this wave of team quality, touching you is just a pendant.

He knew this himself, and he basically didn't think about fighting. He used the calculation orb to take "handsome photos" of the bosses throughout the process and record the progress of the preparatory stage of this "super task chain" that has not yet been developed for the player group.

Of course, since the players are called over, even if it is just a formality, there must be decent task releases and rewards.

Mo Youqiong's mission reward this time is a summoning spell, but it is not his professional summoning from the astral world, but one of the more complex and larger "Summoning Spells for Alien Creatures" called Summoning the Minotaur.

Probably because the development team wanted to impress everyone, when everyone entered the maze, the NPC Miss Winnie showed the only summoner among the players the specific form of the summoned object.

This Mo Youqiong was staring at the huge creature leading the way at the front of the dark underground maze with envy, longing, and desire.

That's a Minotaur!

It inherits the sturdy appearance common to all minotaurs in fantasy legends. It is more than 3 meters tall, has big shoulders and round waist, and strong muscles. It has brown-black skin and heavy hooves like artiodactyl beasts. It holds an alien double blade. The big brass ax shook the earth as it walked, and it also had a tail that swung around and could be used as a whip.

The whole head is a standard bull's head, with a pair of big eyes filled with surging anger, and a gold ring pierced through the nostrils.

Well, the only decoration on the body is not brought by the Minotaur, but the "sacrifice" prepared by Miss Winnie when she summoned the Minotaur just now. It is also the "casting spell" that must be used to summon the Minotaur. Material".

This involves an important factor in the summoner's career path in the mid-to-late stage.

That is to say, those high-level summoned objects have their own preferences. Summoning them to the material world is only the first step. If you want to ask them to serve you, you have to make a contract and give some small gifts to please them.

Although you can also arbitrarily use forced restraint to make it fight for yourself, such forced orders can easily lead to the summoned creature secretly causing harm at certain times.

After all, most of the summoner's spells cannot control 100% of the summoned objects. In this case, having a good relationship with the summoned objects is very important.

The favorite thing of mid-to-high-level alien creatures like the Minotaur is a carefully crafted gold nose ring. The more exquisite it is, the more they like it. A gold ring allows the Minotaur to serve the summoner until the end of the summoning. That is until it is killed in the material world.

The Minotaurs are not astral creatures. If they die in the material world, they will die forever.

Therefore, this thing is "life money" in the true sense. From this point of view, the Minotaur only needs a well-made gold ring as a reward for life and death. This is already a very conscientious price.

And if the Minotaur dies and the summoner wants to make an appointment to summon it next time, he must first throw the used golden ring into the Minotaur's world, and then prepare a brand new golden ring.

Not because the Minotaur was greedy, but because the creature had basic emotions.

They refuse to use the gold rings used by their compatriots. Those things are considered "sacrifice" in their eyes. If you plan to deceive them, it will be easily discovered and lead to unnecessary battles. And if they encounter a guy holding a Minotaur golden ring in the material world, they will immediately go into a rage and attack.

Because they think those are shameless "grave robbers".

To sum up, although the Minotaur's comprehensive combat power is already strong among mid-to-upper-level summons, it is actually a very troublesome and unpopular summon, and few people will learn this kind of spell specifically.

"This special golden ring must comply with certain requirements and cannot be made by ordinary blacksmiths. Therefore, before your summoning level is raised to the point where you can permanently contract a Minotaur, summoning this powerful alien creature is not only a good choice for you. The test of summoning.

It’s still a test for your wallet! "

While walking in the underground palace, Miss Winnie, who was a powerful summoner before joining the Blood Vulture Clan, held up a torch and shared the summoner's secrets with the "junior" next to her. She complained:

"And the Minotaur is already a very 'cheap' large summon. Among similarly large creatures, the most expensive one is the gemstone heavy armored scorpion from the elemental plane. You need to prepare one in advance every time you summon that thing. The quality of natural gems must not be lower than the relic level, otherwise the Gem Armored Scorpion will immediately rebel even if it is summoned.

But there’s a reason why it’s expensive! You must remember, my little brother, this is a classic saying of the Way of Summoning.

The Gem Armored Scorpion has no fragile flesh and blood, and its shell of elemental gems is indestructible. It is good at destroying in close combat and can also inflict terrible elemental poison on the enemy. The most important thing is that it has the characteristics of an elemental creature and is very insensitive to the passage of time.

In other words, as long as you summon the Gem Scorpion and sign a temporary contract with it, you can let it stay in the material world for a long time without wasting summoning slots.

When I was learning the art of summoning on Greenie Island, I heard that a summoning master in the Tower of Rings had a temporary contracted gem scorpion. That guy had been in the material world for seventy-seven years. Rounding it all off, it’s the same as... A permanent contract makes no difference.

Alas, if my sister and I hadn't been in trouble, I originally planned to summon my own gem scorpion last month. I had all the materials ready, but it turned out

Alas, let’s not mention those sad past events.

In short, although that thing is expensive, it really holds its value! "

"Oooh, ooh, I've learned, I've learned."

Mo Youqiong has been playing in the game for so long, and has learned a lot about how to treat others. Now he quickly recorded the knowledge that the "senior sister" casually said, and at the same time asked:

"I just saw that you applied many defensive states to yourself before summoning the Minotaur. Mrs. Tris even put a shield on you. Why is that? Is there any risk in summoning the Minotaur? But I think this guy is quite honest. Yes, he talks very well."

"Well, the Minotaur is indeed not that kind of brainless monster. If you don't mess with it, it will be very peaceful. But the problem is that the accompanying beast of the Minotaur is not so 'fun'."

Miss Winnie sighed, just like every troubled senior sister who explains basic knowledge to young students, she shook her head and explained:

"There are many strange beasts in the plane where the Minotaur lives, and the Minotaur will be accompanied by a kind of hell cow. It is said that those hell cows are the ancestors of the Minotaur, and the two sides have some strange blood connections.

There's about a 1 in 3 chance of summoning a raging hell bull every time you use the Summon spell.

The thing itself is not a problem, it is just a beast, and its strength is far less powerful than the Minotaur, but the trouble is that the Hell Bull has the talent of instant death ray.

If you are stared at by it, you will have a chance of ascending to heaven on the spot. That spell does not even need to be cast. Although the instant death rate is very low, among the ghost stories I know of summoners, there is definitely a bad story about the unlucky guy being stared to death by the hell cow.

Therefore, although the Minotaur is the cheapest summon among large creatures, basically no summoner will choose to keep this thing as his servant.

Therefore, it is cheap for a reason!

If it weren't for the Minotaur's innate intuition that ignores any maze to navigate the maze this time, I wouldn't risk summoning it.

You only have one life, and you must cherish it.

Don't use this spell indiscriminately after you learn it. It's easy to get into trouble. Well, you guys are not afraid of death. Well, it seems that this spell is probably specially prepared for you. "

"Yeah, yeah, it sounds very cost-effective and very entertaining. I think this spell will definitely set off a 'luck game' among my companions once it is revealed."

Mo Niqiong smiled and asked again:

"Senior Sister Winnie, I just heard from Mrs. Tris that the spell to summon the Minotaur can be learned without summoner knowledge, right?"

"Well, that's true."

Being called "Senior" by her polite junior made Miss Winnie, who was actually not that old, feel good. While directing her Minotaur to enter the older-looking tunnel ahead, she replied:

"The alien plane where the Minotaurs reside is 'very close' to the material world, and summoning them requires very little psychic energy, so most psionicists can learn this spell.

I heard this from my instructor when I was learning summoning.

According to her, it is because the plane where the Minotaur is located has essentially collapsed and is disappearing, so the creatures in it hope to escape the fate of extinction, and they will respond to the summons more actively than creatures from other planes. .

The difficulty for creatures in the Minotaur's plane to make a permanent contract is also the lowest.

Basically, as long as you have enough summoning slots and surpass it in spiritual power, you can complete the permanent contract.

But the problem I just mentioned is that there is a problem with the summoning rules of the dying plane. Even if you make a permanent contract, you will have a chance of summoning a dangerous hell cow every time you summon it.

Therefore, compared with them, elemental creatures that can be reborn and are very obedient are more cost-effective summons. "

"But if they respond positively to the call."

Moyouqiong frowned and said:

"Doesn't that mean that with enough time and energy and good luck, I can create a tauren army in the material world? Anyway, they are temporary summons and do not occupy contract positions."

"Well, theoretically it is true, but it is very difficult for you to summon an entity to the material world, and you also risk being killed by a hell cow. The cost-effectiveness is too low, unless you can find a natural plane rift. "

Winnie shook her head and said:

"At present, the distance between the material world and other planes is very stable, so don't think about such a good thing."

"Hey, have you two finished your lesson on summoners' knowledge? I can't understand why two professional summoners are so interested in this common knowledge?"

Mrs. Tracey, who was walking in front of her holding the serenade staff, turned around and shouted:

“The Minotaur is not moving forward!

It obviously senses that there is danger ahead. Winnie, let your summons take us there, clear the danger and move on.

Hogg, can you sense the location of the stone slab? "

"It told me it was down there, very close."

Hogg, who was very alert while holding a torch, pointed to his head and replied:

"It said that it could hear the wailing of the civilized tablets. It urged us to speed up, saying that there was an evil force that was tarnishing the civilized tablets of us jackals."

Tris nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The "it" in Hogg's words obviously refers to the strange spiritual body of the Bone-Gripping King.

Facts have proved that Murphy's unreasonable guess was correct. After entering Baphomet's underground palace, the Bone-gnawing King that had been "bound" to Hogg became active. It didn't even need to dream to interact with Hogg. Realize "secret language communication".

As the last spokesperson for Jackal civilization, the Bone-Gnasher King can obviously feel the specific location of the civilization slate, which saves this slate expedition team a lot of trouble.

With the general location guidance, and Winnie summoning the Minotaur, who would never get lost in the maze, to lead the way, it only took them two hours to successfully approach the destination. However, this process made the hand-held Palano, who was armed with a lance and a heavy shield, looked ugly.

Rose Knight said softly:

"I thought these filthy goatmen would bring the stone slabs to the lower level, but our destination is actually only the middle level of the Earth Palace! It seems that the Twilight Force is not willing to provoke the Baphomet cult entrenched in the lower level.

To be treated with such caution by an evil like Twilight shows that the Baphomet cult, which was ignored and unknown in the past, has developed to a quite terrifying stage.

Although these evil-god-worshiping goatmen do not cause massacres in the outside world, they are always a hidden danger to the awakening of the ancient evil gods!

If this black disaster can be passed safely, I estimate that Lord Paying may launch a large-scale liquidation of the Baphomet cult.

It can't be delayed any longer.

Once those cultists begin to control the entire underground palace, this ancient ruins will instantly become a terrible cancer near the Dark Mountains. "

"Come on, Palano, there are so many things that can cause terror in this land, and the Baphomet cult is just the most harmless one among them."

Mrs. Cuisi waved her hand disapprovingly and said:

"Although there are very few evil gods walking in the world, it does not mean that there are none. I know that there is a weak evil god hiding in the city of halflings. I don't believe that the Lord doesn't know about it. He is just too lazy to care about it.

What's more, the Dark Mountains are so big that we have lacked understanding of them over the past thousand years. Compared with the dangers hidden there, the filthy underground palace of Baphomet is just like an amusement park.

I don’t think Lord Paying needs to do it himself, just leave this underground palace to us! Anyway, after Dark Valley belongs to Transia, Little Murphy's border will extend to the line of Barren Mountain, and the entire Filthy Swamp and Baphomet Canyon will become our territory.

As Governor, this is also one of the issues that little Murphy needs to solve. "

"Eh! The relationship between you two is really twisted, Tris."

These words made Palano's eyes widen, and he exclaimed:

"I often see beautiful people who use their wisdom to solve problems for their lovers. This is the first time I have seen a goddess who actively causes trouble for her lover. Are you sure you haven't drunk too much?

With the pressure Governor Murphy is currently under, I don't think it's a good thing for you to take the trouble of this underground palace into your hands. "

"You just don't understand."

Grand Duke Tris snorted, shrugged and said:

"My little Murphy wishes he had an extra 'permanent leveling area'. This is a special gameplay feature in his design. He won't allow you to destroy it casually. Well, it's right in front! Get ready to fight!"

Tris waved her left hand, and the serenade staff cast two or three soul-protecting spells on everyone while rotating. Minotaurs, who was leading the way in front of them, had bypassed the complicated and complicated forks, without any reminders. Accurately found the path to the hiding place of the Civilization Tablet.

After passing through an ordinary stone gate, a strange hollow area appeared in front of everyone.

It's like a "suspended tower" hidden under the Earth Palace.

A huge stone pillar stands in the center of the surrounding cliffs hundreds of meters deep. A church-like building is at the top of the stone pillar. A severely weathered suspended stone bridge is the only way to connect the stone pillar church to the main body of the Earth Palace.

The church door was closed.

But Hogg tried his best to block his head and said intermittently in a mournful manner:

"There it is! Oh my god, shut up! Stop howling! I know what to do. Shut up! Don't take my mind away from me! I'm not your dog!"

Chief Bloodclaw was obviously fighting for the control of his mind with the Bone-Gripping King in his heart. This scene made Mrs. Tris shake her head. She knelt down and put her hand on Hogg's shoulder, whispering:

"Don't resist, let it come out! Hogg, I want to talk to it. Don't worry, with me here, it can't control you."

"Ouch."

Hogg trusted Grand Duke Tris. He nodded with difficulty, took a deep breath and completely relaxed his resistance. The next second, as his whole body twitched, another consciousness emerged in Hogg's mind.

"Hogg" rolled his eyes, looked at the vampire archduke in front of him, and then let out a burst of weird and sharp laughter, full of arrogance and wildness and a rebelliousness that did not need to be concealed, and even an indescribable wave of laughter. The "general style".

It waved its paws, pointed at the stone church ahead, and said:

"The Civilization Tablet is right there! It's a great idea for you cunning people to try to control the weak Hogg to eliminate the black plague! It just kind of sucks.

Go get it.

This king despises your cunning, but it is not impossible for you to cooperate.

Get it!

I will tell you how to make Hogg the spokesperson of civilization. I have failed to represent 'power'. Maybe it is time to try to let 'wisdom' save the gnolls. "

"Murphy gave it a name!"

Tris said in a deep voice:

"Its nickname is 'Wise Wolf'. It will not become the bone-gnawing king, and the jackals will not have bone-gnawing kings in the future. I suggest you stay calm, Philip.

You are already dead!

You think you are fearless, but I always have a way to make you die again! You pathetic security captain! "

"Damn it!"

When this "professional title" was spoken, the rebellious Bone-Gnasher King cursed bitterly. It realized that its "true identity" had been discovered by these blood vulture vampires.

"My kind little Murphy would like to have a chat with you. He feels that there is still room for improvement in the relationship between us."

Trish’s “kind” reminder:

"You can be considered a follower of the Creator. My Murphy is now the new curator of the exhibition area. You two can barely be considered colleagues. There is nothing we can't talk about, right? Do you want me to make an appointment for you? Your Majesty."

"Hmph, let's get the slate first."

The King of Bone Biters used Hogg's mouth to whisper:

"I don't want to bow my head, but I really don't have much time, so please get it done as soon as possible! Believe me, the Scarlet Witch, who is obsessed with playing love games with her own children but has fallen tragically and is no longer able to escape, this matter is very important to her. We both matter!"
