Chapter 144 Millennium Dragon Blood Wood
Chapter 144 "Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Wood"
The monsters stood on the makeshift city wall. A gust of wind blew by, and the violent shaking was enough to make people wonder whether these makeshift things would collapse in the next moment.
It was supposed to be a scene where monsters formed an army to attack the city, but now it turned into Qiao Yang leading the crew and cannon fodder to attack the monsters. If one ignores their respective identities, then it is really appropriate to say that he is the devil in this scene.
"A meaningless struggle~"
Qiao Yang yawned, turned to Sisonia and said:
"See that leading dragonborn? If it dies, this battle is over."
He had a basis for saying this. Although the distance was not close, Qiao Yang's excellent eyesight allowed him to see that the dragonborn with thin blood was already very old and not very strong.
This can only mean one thing. This old guy is the spiritual leader of this group of monsters, or he is a very powerful person. Once he dies, the morale of the remaining monsters will be greatly reduced even if they do not surrender directly. Qiao Yang is still I really want to conquer a group of foreign races, and sometimes it may be able to play an unexpected role.
"I see."
Sisonia nodded in agreement. She immediately understood what her captain meant, and arcs of lightning flashed in her eyes.
She moved her body, took half a step back, and then pulled out the war spear behind her. Blue-purple lightning wrapped around it, and a strong wind gradually rose.
Although the monsters got some information about Qiao Yang and his party from the fleeing guys, they only believed half of what they said about "like gods and demons", "violent behavior", especially "powerful", so the remaining The leaders of each tribe would push out the half-buried old dragonborn in order to boost morale. They had been doing this for the past few years, either to quell wars or to adjust conflicts. In short, it worked.
It can only be said that empiricism kills people. Even gods dare not say that they are omniscient and omnipotent, let alone a dragonborn who is about to die of old age. Sometimes the weak may not die, but the stupid ones will definitely!
The violent wind mixed with the strong lightning came instantly. The old guy died peacefully, because it turned into gray without feeling anything, which naturally included the feeling of pain.
The green-blue light beads also penetrated several monsters in a line behind the old dragonborn, and they were also turned into ashes, but to be precise, there was not even ashes left.
The war spear released a violent energy storm after landing, and it only took a blink of an eye to form a tornado mixed with thunder. Wherever it passed, not a single blade of grass grew!
The specific manifestation is that those who are close will be injured, and those who are rubbed will die. If they meet head-on, their bodies will be broken into pieces.
When the storm subsided, leaving behind endless destruction, broken limbs, broken fortifications, and flattened wilderness plains,
“Sister Nia is so amazing!”
Fu lay in Qiao Yang's hair. She had lived quite freely these two days. Her childlike innocence made her loved by everyone on the ship, including even the demon crew members who were naturally fond of destruction. This was amazing. .
Of course, considering Fu's natural affinity, it seems that this is not a difficult task.
Since she had nothing to do recently, after finishing her daily studies, Tina turned a blind eye and gave the little guy a holiday.
But for some unknown reason, she always felt that she was cultivating a love rival for herself. The knowledge from the divine bloodline made her speculate a lot about Fu's existence and origin. If she waited until the little guy broke through the legend, she might not continue Keep such a small size.
Thinking of this, Tina's eyes became dangerous, her expression was unkind, and he was ready to give the little guy more homework.
Qiao Yang didn't know that a silent attack was unfolding around him. When he saw the traces left by this spear, he clapped his hands and praised:
"Tsk, spectacular, Nia, your strength has recovered a lot."
When he finished speaking, he burst into laughter. Applause and laughter were mixed together, which was especially obvious in the silent plain at this moment.
However, in the ears of the monsters, this laughter was the devil's evil laugh, and endless shadows shrouded their hearts. They witnessed this natural disaster caused by individuals with their own eyes. The terrifying pressure made the survivors couldn't help but come up with an idea, Or...vote?
This idea appeared in the minds of many monsters at the same time. Even the stupid and greedy dragon-blooded ogres did not dare to resist at this time. They all wanted to bury their heads in the ground. Well, they really did this. The rough ground was dug open by rough claws, and then the head was inserted and buried again.
There seems to be no problem in doing this. After all, creatures with such terrifying physiques like ogres are not afraid of being suffocated to death. But the problem is that this guy is a two-headed ogre, and the expression on the other head changes from fear to confusion, and then They were puzzled, shocked, helpless, and finally numb, and a vague feeling of not wanting to live could be seen.
"puff!"
Qiao Yang also saw the interesting scene, but he also became interested in this special two-headed ogre. Its strength was very low, but it meant plasticity.
After sweeping around the monsters who were still immersed in fear, Qiao Yang signaled Marquis to prepare for the containment work, and then led Tina and Sisonia towards the place where the ogres gathered.
"Put down your weapons, kneel down, surrender without killing!"
Oriath added a language-knowledge spell to Marquis so that his words could be understood by monsters.
"Snapped!"
This sentence seemed to open a hole and directly broke the shaky hearts of the monsters. Each one of them felt as if they had been granted amnesty. The weapons in their hands were thrown away and they fell to their knees, saying words of gratitude. They really wanted to live.
On the other side, Qiao Yang walked up to the two-headed ogre, grabbed it with his bare hands, and tied it up with a whip made of seawater.
"Are you an older brother or a younger brother?"
This sentence is said to that very smart head.
"Brother, my head came out from the back when I was born."
It didn't pretend to know anything, because it was really smart and naturally knew that there was no benefit in pretending to be stupid in front of a strong person.
"Very good, I'll give you a chance to become stronger, and you can also take me as my subordinate and work for me, but the price is to give up your other head, which is your brother."
"Can I give it this opportunity?"
"What do you think? My patience is limited."
Qiao Yang had an incomprehensible look on his face. He didn't say yes, but he didn't say no either. He really wanted to see how smart this special two-headed ogre could be.
"Please accept us, my brother is very strong, I am smart enough, I will never embarrass you!"
It lowered its head and patted its brother's head at the same time, making it lower its head along with it.
"Hahaha, you are really good. What is your name?"
The loyalty without any hesitation made Qiao Yang feel that the intelligence of this ogre was really high. In this case, maybe it would be a different situation if it were a pair of human brothers.
With proper training, it may become a two-headed ogre magician, a spellcaster unique to the ogre family.
"Gortan Durut."
"Durut is my name, Gortan is my brother's name, thank you for your kindness and gift."
Durut breathed a sigh of relief. It knew that this strong man saw its potential, which was also the reason why they could survive.
"I give you a task to make your people surrender to me. If you succeed, I will give you what you want."
After releasing the whip, Durut patted Gortan on the head, as if he had reached some agreement. Then he stood up under control, knelt down on the ground seriously, and said seriously:
"On behalf of the Dragon Blood Tribe, I would like to thank you for not killing me. If you fail to complete the task, I will leave it to you."
After finishing his words, Durut hesitated for a moment, and then continued:
"What should I call you?"
"Just call me Captain."
Qiao Yang casually replied that he actually didn't care much about whether Dulute could complete the tasks assigned to him. There is no need to invest too much energy in a 100% successful thing. If such simple little things cannot be done well, the potential will be lost. No matter how high it is, he doesn't need waste in his fleet.
"Yes, Captain, by the way, there is another thing that you may be more interested in. There is an area at the junction of the Dragon Blood Tribe, Dragon Claw Tribe and Dragon Roar Tribe that none of us can enter. What is in it? I can’t see things clearly, but there must be treasures here, and if it’s you, you might have a way to get the good stuff at the back.”
Du Lute's words really piqued Qiao Yang's interest. Listening to its description, it was either a man-made magic circle or a naturally formed barrier. It's hard to say which one it is until you see it, but it doesn't matter. Both of these things mean gains with value above the standard line. For him, it is difficult not to be tempted.
"I made a note of it. If I find something good, I'll credit you with it. Go ahead and don't let me down."
“You will not be disappointed!”
Now that the matter was over, Qiao Yang returned to the team without any nonsense. After telling Marquis that he would be responsible for all the next matters here, he took Oria and Nekel and headed to Durut without stopping to explain. location.
He knew the locations of the three tribes after successive advances. As for why he brought Nieker with him, who knew that this guy was a traditional mage? Barriers cannot be broken by just being strong. Many times, a little bit of skill is required.
That special area is located in the southwest, not too far away from here. After all, the entire Hulu area is not that big. It took Qiao Yang and his party only three minutes to reach their destination.
If it weren't for the unknown terrain here, Aurelia's teleportation spell could directly teleport all of them to the precise location.
Theoretically, even without a map, everyone present could estimate the distance to their destination based on the information given by Durut.
As for why not, this is thanks to some senior spellcasters who had the courage to try.
Teleportation is very convenient, and everyone who has experienced it will give it a thumbs up and give it a five-star rating.
High accuracy, fast speed, strategic draw, and no shortcomings except that it is expensive.
And to put it more deeply, the high price is not a shortcoming of the teleportation technique. As for whose shortcoming it is, I must know well.
In addition, the accuracy of this thing is quite high, even to the micron level. In other words, with the naked eye, you can't tell whether there is any deviation in the teleporter's landing point.
This leads to a problem. Assuming that a person is teleported, he cannot be selected during this distance. In addition to being able to affect and disrupt the space on a large scale, it can hardly affect the teleporter himself.
Therefore, regardless of the impact, and assuming that the teleportation point is a stone, very terrifying results will occur.
This stone will merge with the teleporter. This fusion is at the atomic level and cannot be separated at all. Even the restoration spell is useless.
If it is a leg, an arm, or even the fusion of the chest and abdomen, it is possible to save the teleporter's life through various means, but if the head and the stone are fused, the spirit will not be able to use it, and he will be dead.
These bloody lessons were all left by the predecessors who tried the magic on their own, so every spell caster with inheritance will keep this in mind. This is why Oriath and Nekel did not mention this matter. These two noble None of the masters are short of a spell slot, but no one wants to gamble their lives for nothing. The poor terrain in the mountains is no joke. If a teleportation spell fails, the whole group may be wiped out here.
In fact, it is not that there are genius spellcasters who use teleportation to fight against the enemy. In some special situations, let alone, it has miraculous effects!
If used well, the actual effect is comparable to the Finger of Death. It is an eighth-level spell, while the teleportation spell is only a sixth-level spell. There is no need to say much about the difference.
After the group finally passed through a forest with complex terrain, the fiery red light in front of them shone, and the next moment, it suddenly became clear.
Facts have proved that it is right not to use teleportation. Although there are no stones here, the four tall and thick ancient trees are not easy to deal with. Maybe the landing point is one of these four trees.
Qiao Yang knows these four trees. They are called dragon blood trees. They are a second-level extraordinary wood that usually grows in the place where the dragons fell. The two red dragons should have died here, otherwise they would not have been born. Take out these four dragon blood trees.
And depending on the year, these dragon blood trees have probably grown naturally for thousands of years, and their actual performance can be regarded as a fourth-level extraordinary material. This is the first time Qiao Yang has seen such high-quality extraordinary trees with his own eyes.
And this is only the most basic use of the dragon's blood tree. Its branches, leaves, rhizomes, and even resins and stored juices are all very useful. If you can make a fortune by slaying a dragon, then you can make half of it by finding a dragon's blood tree that has grown for thousands of years. fiscal.
This is a saying that has been circulated in the mouths of countless captains. Although it is not that exaggerated in fact, after all, an adult dragon collects all kinds of treasures, and it is difficult to determine the specific value. But being able to describe Dragon Blood Wood in this way also shows its Amazing value.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, something more important than these four dragon blood trees is still to come.
Qiao Yang looked at the natural barrier in front of him, and his little heart began to beat wildly. He hadn't mentioned one thing just now. Where a natural barrier can be formed, there must be treasures of astonishing value. If it were described in oriental colors, , that is, a treasure of heaven and earth must be born!
"Let's see if we can handle it. Where is the node of this natural barrier."
Suppressing his excitement for the time being, Qiao Yang began to ask the two spellcasters around him.
Although the latter represents a higher value, it is not necessarily as difficult to break as the artificially created barriers. Even in some special circumstances, some natural barriers are much more outrageous than the magic circles set up.
To give a simple example, there once was a natural barrier that occupied five mountain ranges, connected the power of the earth veins in it, and had an entire magic crystal mine to power it. Not to mention the legendary powerhouse, even the demigod came. It was useless, and I found that the people there had tried every means to prevent anyone from breaking the defense.
This place is located near the settlement of the Dragon Kingdom and is named Wufang Mountain. It is still running stably so far. Everyone is nervous about it, but they can only watch.
After hearing Qiao Yang's question, Aurea looked at it for a few times, then replied with a smile:
"As long as one of the four dragon blood trees is cut off or it loses its life energy, it can be broken. This barrier was most likely formed when the dragon blood trees grew naturally for more than three hundred years. Now it can be broken It’s comparable to a large seven-ring protective spell. Given our strength, it’s quite easy to crack it.”
After getting the answer, Qiao Yang waved to Tina without any hesitation and said at the same time:
"Come here and cut down the tree!"
"Okay!"
His hurried look made Aurea laugh. When there was no danger, Qiao Yang never concealed his greed for money, and he seemed to be very interested in such unknown things.
In his own words, the anticipation brought by opening a blind box is far more exciting than the results obtained.
The next chapter will be after midnight. I’m in pretty good shape today. Thank you book friends for your support. Thank you for wandering.
