Just like the name suggests, the so-called "Book of Demons" does not refer to a single book, but to all such books produced and written by powerful demons.
These books usually have one thing in common, which is that they record a large number of methods of gaining powerful power by making sacrifices to demons or the Abyss itself.
As long as mortals can't resist the temptation, their souls will be controlled by these powerful demons, and they may even become slaves who obey their orders.
This is how many warlock families come from.
They serve powerful and evil demons as their masters in exchange for the power of darkness, evil, and filth.
Some of the Demonic Books were even written by some not-so-famous Abyss Lords, and even mages could learn some powerful spells from them.
In addition, he can summon various powerful demons to serve or fight for him.
Therefore, even though the "Book of Demons" is considered a taboo in many places and will be immediately destroyed and sealed by the church of the good gods once discovered, it still has a very high value.
Especially the one in Zuo Si's hand, which contains dozens of "blasphemous words" that can have a wide-ranging impact on all life.
This is a language that contains powerful magical power.
Some can cause a strong dizziness effect, some can make those who hear it feel extremely weak, some can paralyze the target for up to ten minutes, and some are so powerful that they can directly kill a creature or even destroy entire groups of undead creatures in an instant.
In addition, "blasphemous words" are very restraining to summoned creatures, and can expel them back to their original plane, preventing them from coming back within at least one day.
"How about it, how much is this book worth?" asked the dwarf thief curiously.
It was obvious that he had no idea what the book was, and he just took it out to have it appraised "for free" with a try-it attitude.
This means that Zuo Si’s offer cannot be too low, otherwise the other party may take it back.
But at the same time, the price cannot be too high, otherwise the adventure team will inevitably realize the true value of the "Book of Demons".
So he pretended to be embarrassed and replied: "To be honest, I don't understand what the mysterious symbols in this book mean. But considering that they do contain magical power, I will buy it for one thousand gold coins."
"One thousand gold coins? That sounds like a good deal. What do you think?"
The dwarf thief had obviously accepted the price and immediately turned around to ask for his teammates' opinions.
"I don't think there's any problem. The book is just a burden for us to carry with us anyway." The woman shrugged indifferently.
"Then let's sell it. By the way, take out all the things we collected during our adventures that haven't been sold. I really want this Acid Fire Sword." The man said, staring at the long sword he had just put back.
No warrior can resist the temptation of a good weapon, and he is no exception.
After a while, the five members of the adventure team took out their "treasures" one after another.
Although most of them were worthless junk, Zuo Si still found a few valuable things among them.
For example, a broken but repairable Ioun Stone, and another example is a magical amulet that is suspected to be able to summon a construct - a shield guardian.
In short, this adventure team should have been to many places and experienced many adventurous journeys.
This directly resulted in their spoils being large and messy.
There is even a set of "erotic" armor woven with gold threads, which has basically no defensive power. It should be specially used in bed, and it exudes temptation everywhere.
In the end, Zuo Si accepted those things that he thought could be useful, plus some valuable gems, and handed the Acid Fire Sword to the other party without charging any gold coins.
Because unlike gold on Earth which is the most valuable hard currency, in the magical world, especially in the continent of Faerun, gems are the real valuable hard currency.
Their function is not just decoration, but also a precious material that is indispensable to almost all magic.
Whether casting spells or making magic items, a large amount of gems are required.
Zuo Si was not even sure whether the colorful gems on Earth and the gems containing magical powers on the continent of Faerun were the same kind of material.
But that didn't stop him from hoarding like crazy.
After setting up a stall at the Adventurer's Market for three consecutive days, Zuo Si finally managed to scrape together some money for the trip to Candle Castle.
When the day of departure came, he only brought Davian and Huntington as guards, as well as Isadora, who had become seriously attached to him.
This girl, who had serious psychological problems, would immediately go crazy and look for Zuo Si if she couldn't see him for two or three days.
As for the others, they all stayed behind to look after the house.
After all, this journey was originally carried out with the diplomatic mission. Not only were there armies and masked wizards responsible for escorting them, but the probability of being attacked was also very low, so there was no need to bring so many people.
Moreover, Zuo Si would never dare to take someone like Alena, who only wants the world to be in chaos, to a place like Candle Castle.
Otherwise, if he accidentally set a few bookshelves on fire, he really couldn't afford the compensation.
The half-orc Rhett simply had no interest in places like the library. He would rather stay in Askatla and go to the Copper Crown Inn in the slums every day to have a couple of drinks and gamble a little.
As for the little wolves, they have to learn all kinds of knowledge in the morning and undergo combat training in the afternoon. They are very busy every day and they also have to find time to take care of the warg and winter wolf cubs and cultivate relationships with them. They don't have the time to travel far.
The red dragon Wilmes and the strange creature are responsible for controlling the giant mutant hound, as well as the goblins and werewolves who work day and night under the wizard tower, and the digging worms that are growing bigger and bigger.
As power expands, many places need someone to keep an eye on them.
After everything was arranged, Zuo Si got on the carriage prepared for him by the Amn Six-Man Council.
When passing through the City Gate area, I took a look at the renovation progress of the Crooked Crane Hotel.
After meeting up with the envoys, Sir Crispian, who was in charge of the negotiations, immediately complimented with a smile: "Welcome, respected Sir Soth. Don't worry, you don't need to say a word or do anything on this journey. You just need to show up before the negotiations begin."
"Oh? Just showing up? Then it's a bit too easy to earn these 40,000 gold coins." Zuo Si made a joke.
"Hahahaha! Please believe me, your deterrent power is no less than those powerful legendary wizards, and even better. Especially for a densely populated port city-state like Baldur's Gate that relies on trade, a large-scale plague outbreak can cause it to completely decline. What's more, Baldur's Gate does not have any decent magical power at all."
Sir Crispian laughed and revealed the secret.
The man, who was about forty years old, did not show any sign of taking Baldur's Gate seriously in his tone.
Because the latter is currently just an independent city-state, and at most it can affect surrounding areas such as Belgost and Friendly Arms.
It is still a long way to go before we can bring the entire West Heartland region under our rule and establish a country.
So even though Baldur's Gate gained a certain advantage in the war, it was essentially using the strength of one city to fight against the entire Amn.
Maybe there won't be any big problems in the short term, but once a stalemate occurs and both sides start to consume each other, both the finances and people's hearts will slowly collapse and disintegrate.
As the chosen one of the goddess of poison and plague Talona, Zuo Si will become the catalyst for all this, forcing the Duke of Baldur's Gate and the Merchant Alliance to surrender as soon as possible.
"I see. Let's get going quickly then."
After saying this, Zuo Si led his men back to his own carriage.
Following Sir Crispian's order, the team of fifty people officially set off.
Among them, thirty-five elite cavalrymen were the main defense force.
In addition, there were two accompanying masked wizards, four priests of the guardian god Heim, and a paladin sent by the Knights of the Burning Heart.
As for the rest, they were all servants who served the important members of the diplomatic corps in their daily lives.
Since the delegation was traveling on a main road and the carriage was blessed with a levitation spell, they did not feel any bumps at all.
Sitting in the car, Zuo Si used the time on the road to take out the damaged Ion Stone and carefully repaired it with topaz.
Then he discovered that this thing was actually the legendary [Spell Absorption] Ion Stone, which could absorb targeted spells for the wearer.
This thing is extremely rare and precious, and with the demise of the Netherese civilization, it is now almost impossible to find it on the market.
Only in those ancient ruins and tombs can one occasionally find a few.
There is no doubt that with this Ion Stone, Zuo Si can be sure to make a fortune in the transaction with the adventure team.
After bringing the spell-absorbing Ioun Stone under his control, he quickly turned his attention to the magical amulet that seemed to be able to summon the construct - the Shield Guardian.
Due to its age, the magic runes and some engravings on the surface of the amulet have become blurred to the point of being difficult to recognize.
There are also obvious signs of burning and strong acid corrosion on the surface.
Fortunately, Zuo Si has a creator level of LV11, and can repair it bit by bit through transformation ability.
But even so, it took almost four days.
At this moment, the delegation has left Crimul and officially entered the most dangerous foggy mountain area of this journey.
As the natural border between Amn and its northern neighbors, this is a rugged mountain range that stretches hundreds of kilometers from east to west.
The average altitude is much higher than the Xingxuan Mountains and Broken Tooth Mountains that Zuo Si had visited before.
Most of the cold air currents blowing from the north are blocked by this mountain, creating a warm and farming-friendly climate in Amn.
But at the same time, these mountains with snow on top all year round have also become home to dangerous creatures in cold regions such as white dragons, winter wolves, frost giants, frost worms, and centipede demon insects.
In addition, the cold and hot air currents from the north and south meet here, resulting in the city being shrouded in white fog for almost two-thirds of the year.
This is also the origin of the name of Yunwu Mountain Area.
Thick fog means extremely low visibility, which is very unfavorable for humans who mainly rely on vision to determine whether the surrounding environment is safe.
Many caravans traveling overland were often approached silently by monsters, surrounded and then slaughtered without realizing it.
fortunately!
The two masked wizards who accompanied them this time were both of high level. They cast the [Wind Creation Spell] continuously and blew away all the clouds and mist within a radius of several hundred meters around the campsite.
The soldiers took the trouble to cut down some trees to make a simple fence and dug traps behind the fence.
The mages also set up magic traps.
Although these preparations are basically useless when facing truly powerful and terrifying monsters, at least they can let everyone know that the camp has been attacked.
Jiandan and Sir Crispian had a fairly sumptuous dinner, and then they both returned to their tents to rest.
While everyone else was eating or resting, Zuo Si immediately tried to activate the repaired amulet.
The next second...
A dazzling summoning circle suddenly appeared, followed by a huge construct about four meters tall, with the main part of its body made of steel but its hands made of refined gold, which appeared out of thin air in the center of the tent.
However, perhaps because it is too old, the construct looks rusty and its head seems to have been hit by a warhammer or something, leaving a large dent.
But even so, when it saw the amulet, it still immediately went to Zuo Si to fulfill its duty to protect its master.
Obviously, constructs like the Shield Guardian are different from golems that only obey the orders of their creators. They are bound to the amulet itself.
Whoever holds this amulet will be considered as the master by the former and will obey every order given by the other party.
If the enemy takes the amulet, the shield defender will automatically change allegiance.
In addition, the shield guardian has special magical abilities to protect his master.
For example, half of the damage suffered by the amulet wearer is transferred to the shield guardian to bear;
For example, you can store a magic that is no higher than the fourth level and release it at a critical moment.
Since the shield guardian was designed to protect its master, it will regard this command as the top priority.
It will do its best to block any attack against the amulet holder.
“Useless exquisite carvings and patterns, amazingly fine craftsmanship, and extremely demanding requirements for materials… It seems that this is the work of an elven wizard.”
Zuo Si came to this conclusion after a simple inspection.
Because apart from elves, no other race of wizards would spend time and effort to make a construct used as a meat shield just look pretty.
In order to prevent this very old shield guardian from being scrapped, he quickly took out four first-level magic [Repair Minor Injuries] cards and released them all at once on the construct in front of him.
This spell repairs any damaged construct life force, just as if cure light wounds were cast on a living person.
In the blink of an eye, the shield defender's tattered body recovered to a certain extent.
But that’s not all. Zuo Si immediately took out a more advanced three-ring magic card [Repair Severe Injuries] and continued to repair the shield guardian in front of him.
Originally, these magic cards specifically for repairing constructs were prepared for iron golems.
But who knew that the Iron Golem was not used, but the Shield Guardian who appeared out of nowhere got to enjoy it first.
When all such cards were used up, the huge construct finally revealed its true form.
"Soth. It looks so beautiful." Isadora exclaimed slightly with wide eyes.
Just as the girl said, the fully repaired shield guardian not only has a very beautiful streamlined body, but also has a round platinum shield on the outside of each arm, which can be used for defense as well as as a weapon to break the enemy's bones.
The creator was so stupid that he even shaped muscles for the construct like a human sculpture.
But this is just decoration and is actually useless.
His facial features were designed to be exceptionally handsome according to the elves' aesthetic standards, making him look like a hero from a bard's story.
Zuo Si was a little confused. Was the elven wizard building the shield guardian according to the standards of a magic guard or shaping it according to the standards of a work of art?
But one thing is certain, this is definitely the most ornamental of all the structures he has seen so far. Even if it is placed in the living room as a work of art, guests will not recognize it at all.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si also sighed slightly and said, "Yes, it does look very beautiful, but it must be very expensive. The Emperor's Tear gems inlaid in the two eyes alone would probably cost tens of thousands of gold coins. I would rather not have those decorative things and build another one at half or even one-third of the cost."
After saying this, he counter-summoned the Shield Guardian into the amulet, then turned around and put it around the girl's neck.
Isadora opened her mouth in surprise and asked in an uncertain tone, "Give it to me?"
"That's right. If you encounter any danger, summon it at the first time. Remember, psychic powers are not invincible. There are many creatures in this world that are immune to your mind control." Zuo Si stroked the girl's hair and advised.
"Um……"
Isadora blushed and nodded slightly, then immediately opened her arms and hugged Zuo Si's neck tightly, her eyes filled with naked and undisguised joy and attachment.
To her, Zuo Si is the only one of her kind in this world. Only when she is with Zuo Si can she feel safe, comfortable and relaxed.
Soon, as the night grew darker, most of the people in the camp, except those on night watch, had fallen asleep peacefully.
After all, long-distance travel is a very physically demanding activity. If you don’t get enough rest, you won’t be able to travel well the next day.
However, the envoys did not notice that at this moment, on a mountain not far away, five people wearing magic masks were gathered there, monitoring every move of the camp from a high vantage point through magic.
After a full minute, the leader finally asked, "How do you think the chances of a successful raid are now?"
"Including the two white dragons, I think it's at least 70 percent." Another slightly fat guy next to him answered.
Behind him, there were two white dragons covered with white scales.
However, these two white dragons were obviously not doing this voluntarily, but were controlled by some powerful magic.
Their eyes looked somewhat dull, without any trace of ferocity, cruelty or cunning.
"Not only that! Don't forget, we still have a dozen winter wolves, an ice troll tribe, and a centipede demon worm. In short, let these monsters rush up to test the power of the chosen one of the goddess of poison and disease, Talona. If they are too strong, we will retreat. If there is a chance, we will take action again."
Another person who sounded like a woman spoke out her thoughts.
The leader immediately nodded in approval. "That's right. Although Erinikas has agreed to cooperate with the Emerald Society, this does not mean that we have to take too great a risk for him."
After saying that, everyone present gave attack orders to the monsters behind them.
The two white dragons were at the forefront, leaping high from the cliff and swooping down at an extremely fast speed.
Soon after, the winter wolves and ice trolls also started running towards the camp.
The centipede, which looks like an enlarged version of a centipede, drags its body over ten meters long and controls hundreds of legs to charge at an incredible speed.
Although these monsters are not numerous, each one is extremely deadly.
Whether it is the white dragon, one of the overlords of the cold land, or the centipede demon worm that can fight the white dragon on equal terms, they are the terrible enemies that adventurers and caravans are most reluctant to encounter.
Although the Winter Wolves and Ice Trolls seem a little weaker in comparison, they are also undoubted ice killers.
没过多久，拥有飞行能力的白龙就率先抵达上空，俯冲下去冲那些围坐在篝火旁边守夜的精锐士兵发起攻击。
后者甚至没有察觉到来自天空的危险，直接被恐怖的冰冻吐息瞬间变成冰雕。
就连原本熊熊燃烧的篝火，也在可怕寒气的作用下瞬间熄灭。
“白……白龙？！”
一名守在帐篷门口的卫兵发现了黑暗中的庞然大物，立刻扯着嗓子大喊道：“敌袭！起来！快起来！我们遭到了白龙的攻击！”
“什么？白龙！”
“该死！为什么会有白龙袭击我们？我们又不是商队！”
“白痴！现在可不是问这个的时候！跟我拿起武器准备战斗！”
“法师！法师！我们需要魔法掩护！”
“牧师！这里有个还没冻死的家伙需要治疗！”
……
一时之间，整个宿营地都陷入了一片慌乱。
没有人能够在面对巨龙的袭击时还能保持镇定，即便是被誉为最弱、最像野兽的白龙。
“该死！怎么回事？发生了什么！”克里斯皮安爵士冲出帐篷大声询问道。
但还没有人来得及做出回答，一头庞然大物便从天而降，张开满是尖牙的大嘴，打算把这位安姆六人评议会派出的使者一口咬成两截。
瞬间！
强烈的恐惧与绝望从克里斯皮安爵士的内心之中涌出，各种来自过去的记忆就如同幻灯片一样在眼前闪过。
因为他知道自己要死了。
身为一名典型的安姆贵族兼富商，克里斯皮安原本还谋划着想要借助这次出使来获得更多的政治资本，以此作为继续向上爬的阶梯。
可是谁能想到还没有抵达烛堡，所有的野心和梦想便要灰飞烟灭。
就在他闭上眼睛等待痛苦和死亡降临时，突然听到近在咫尺的白龙突然发出痛苦和愤怒的吼叫。
睁开眼睛一看，原来是一支蕴含着惊人穿透力的魔法箭矢直接刺穿了白龙侧面的耳膜。
剧痛之下，使其不得不暂时放弃眼前的猎物，转过头去攻击手持【壮臂之弓】的汉丁顿。
可就在白龙如同猫咪一样轻盈的飞跃跳到半空时，一颗火球突然从阴暗的角落飞出，紧跟着直接照亮了黑暗的夜空。
轰！！！！！！
猛烈的爆炸当场把白龙掀翻，从足有十几米高的地方摔下来，腹部出现了大面积的严重烧伤。
由于是寒冷属性的巨龙，因此火焰类魔法往往可以对其造成惊人的额外伤害。
还没等这条受伤的白龙爬起来，宛如潮水般的幽影便从黑暗中涌出，以迅雷不及掩耳的速度完成了零距离的触摸。
上一秒还生龙活虎的白龙，下一秒就直挺挺倒在地上。
如果不是还有极其微弱的呼吸，估计跟尸体没有任何区别。
很显然，幽影的负能量触摸夺走了它全身上下差不多所有的力量属性，只剩下勉强足以维持呼吸的程度。
如果不是左思下令要活的，它们绝对会在第一时间将其杀死。
当然，现在这样也没好到哪去。
每隔一段时间就会有幽影对其进行触摸，确保其损失的力量属性根本没办法恢复，只能像条被摆在砧板上的鱼任人宰割。
“索……索斯爵士？！”
当死里逃生的克里斯皮安爵士看到左思从黑暗中走出进来，整个人顿时像发现了救星一样，立马甩掉身边那个被龙威吓傻的护卫，径直跑了过去。
在他看来，这种时候没有什么比待在一位强大选民的身边更加安全。
“冷静点，爵士。不过是两条愚蠢的白龙而已。”
说话的功夫，左思再次举起手中的火球魔杖，向另外一条正在营地上空肆虐的白龙射出一团火球。
轰！！！！！ 与之前那条一样，第二条白龙也不出意外从低空摔了下来，砰地一声砸在一块巨大的岩石上，由于内脏受到剧烈震荡和挤压，当场从嘴巴、鼻孔中喷出大量的鲜血。
等候多时的幽影军团再次一拥而上，付出了三十几个伤亡的代价，把这条白龙也变成了毫无反抗能力且任人宰割的羔羊。
很显然，这两条白龙之所以会如此轻易的就被解决，一方面是受到魅惑控制，所以根本没有把自身的狡诈和狩猎本能发挥出来，只是单纯的使用冰冻吐息攻击距离最近的目标。
甚至在看到同类遭受火球攻时，没有第一时间赶过来寻找施法者，亦或是爬升高度来躲避魔法攻击，仍旧追着那群无法对自身造成什么威胁的士兵疯狂杀戮。
另外一方面是幽影这种可怕的虚体生命，在大规模集结并同时朝一个目标发起围攻时，造成的效果实在是太可怕了。
尽管单个幽影汲取的力量属性对巨龙这样的生物微不足道，可十个、几十个、几百个一起呢？
由于幽影的攻击可以无视生命力与魔法抗性，最适合用来对付龙这类体型庞大且生命力顽强的巨兽。
毕竟体型越庞大就意味着越难以闪避来自四面八方的虚体触摸。
只要左思愿意付出足够的代价，估计就算是费伦那些鼎鼎大名的龙王来了，在没有佩戴针对性魔法物品或是加持防护法术时，一旦被偷袭得手也会瞬间死亡。
毫无疑问！
左思用无比轻松的碾压姿态俘虏两条白龙，对于使节团的其他人来说无疑充满了震撼。
因为刚才就是这两条从天而降的白龙，足足杀死了十几名精锐士兵、两名守卫之神海姆的牧师，以及唯一的圣武士和还在睡梦中的蒙面法师。
克里斯皮安爵士更是不断在内心之中感叹，选民不愧是神在凡间的代言人。
即便面对像巨龙这样站在食物链顶点的强大生物，也依旧能够不费吹灰之力赢得胜利。
正当他准备上前说两句感谢和恭维的话时，突然听到身后传来一名士兵的惨叫。
“啊啊啊啊！！！！”
转过身一看，发现一条体型堪比牛、浑身上下覆盖着银白色毛发的冬狼，正咬着一个倒霉蛋的脖子，从嘴里喷出致命的冻气。
后者的脖子瞬间变得像冰一样脆，脑袋咔嚓一声从脖子上掉下来，整个人死的不能再死了。
冬狼的冰冻吐息虽然没有白龙的范围那么大、威力那么惊人，可也依旧不是大部分普通人能够承受的。
紧跟着，更多的冬狼缓缓从黑暗中走出来，把营地包围了个水泄不通。
在它们的后面，还有不少皮肤呈蓝白色、拥有近乎无限再生能力的冰巨魔。
正当一名军官大喊着让其余士兵结成阵型来抵挡这些怪物的刹那，地面突然传来一阵剧烈的震动。
还没等其他人反应过来发生了什么，脚下的泥土突然被一股巨大的力量掀飞，从里边钻出一条拥有上百只脚、看起来如同放大了几百倍蜈蚣的巨型虫子。
可怜的军官先是被顶上半空，然后狠狠摔了个跟头，都没搞清楚情况，就被百足魔虫的血盆大口吞了下去。
大概一两秒钟之后，伴随着这个巨大魔法生物体内释放出刺眼的红光和高温火焰，还没有死透的军官立刻发出撕心裂肺的哀嚎。
那恐怖的叫声，结合百足魔虫惊悚无比的长相跟巨大体型，瞬间让在场使节团所有人都感到头皮发麻。
如果说之前的两条白龙还能用意外情况来解释，那么现在这副诡异的场面，就算是再傻的人也意识到使节团遭到了有预谋的伏击。
左思扫了一眼这些突然之间冒出来的怪物，面无表情对身边的克里斯皮安说道：“爵士，我想我们需要重新谈谈关于六人评议会应该支付给我的报酬。要知道之前支付的那四万金币，可不包括在旅途中要对付两条白龙、一条百足魔虫，还有一群冬狼和冰巨魔。”
“索斯爵士，请相信我，安姆六人评议会对现在发生的危机一无所知。不过我保证，等回去之后一定会向评议会做出说明，并要求他们追加一份合理的补偿。另外，我本人也会奉上一份礼物作为救命的感谢。”
克里斯皮安爵士硬着头皮试图通过许诺好处，来拉拢这位队伍中唯一可以力挽狂澜的选民。
因为他明白，这么多的怪物根本不是其他人能够应付的。
尤其百足魔虫，几乎在寒冷地区没有任何天敌。
因为它们的身躯不仅可以像冬狼、霜巨人、白龙一样，免疫一切形式的寒冷伤害。
而且体内还能释放出一种恐怖的高温，甚至足以融化金属。
这一点对于普遍惧怕火焰伤害的极寒地区生物来说是致命的。
任何砍向百足魔虫的武器，都有可能被其释放的高温瞬间融化、摧毁。
“很好。希望你能说到做到。现在跟所有士兵一起躲到后面去吧。接下来的战斗就交给我来解决。”
说着，左思给了龙裔骑士戴维安一个眼神。
The latter understood what he meant and immediately launched a charge, leaping towards the most difficult centipede demon insect. He raised the blazing flaming sword in his hand and stabbed it into the thick chitin above the giant insect's head with a "puff".
The intense pain instantly drove the monster crazy. An astonishing heat wave gushed out of its body, burning the nearest winter wolves and ice trolls to death on the spot.
Unfortunately, this high temperature, which was enough to kill most creatures, did not cause any harm to Davidian.
After all, as a descendant of the red dragon, he possesses amazing resistance to fire.
In addition, there are armor, helmets, gloves, boots made of red dragon scales, and a dragon scale shield...
It is almost 100% immune to fire damage.
Therefore, Davian was not afraid of the centipede's most deadly weapon - high heat. He put his shield on his back, grasped the protruding spikes on its head with one hand, and used the other hand to stir the weapon vigorously, trying to enlarge the wound and find the giant worm's brain to launch a fatal blow.
Although the centipede does not have a high intelligence, it is not a fool.
Realizing what the tiny human on his head was trying to do, he immediately began twisting his body wildly, trying to shake off the threat.
The man and the insect started a tense and exciting tug-of-war.
The area within a radius of hundreds of meters becomes extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be smashed to death or burned to death by the centipede insects.
At the same time, the winter wolves and ice trolls also began to attack the remaining people in the camp.
It's a pity that it was easily controlled by Zuo Si's [Greasy Technique], [Spider Web Technique] and [Stinky Cloud Technique].
Then he activated the voter's ability and cast a [Epidemic] on each target to weaken their ability to struggle and resist.
Then he added [Curse] to lower their intelligence attribute which was not very high to begin with, instantly turning the winter wolves and ice trolls into idiots and fools.
Finally, the Shadow Legion will take action and turn all these dangerous monsters into captives who can barely breathe like the White Dragon before.
To be honest, with the power Zuo Si currently possesses, dealing with these guys who don't have any powerful spell-like abilities is as easy as eating and drinking.
After confirming that these creatures had fallen into confusion or even complete coma due to insufficient brain nourishment caused by weak respiratory failure, Zuo Si unceremoniously took out a large pile of blank cards and first made the two adult white dragons into LV5 independent creature cards.
Ice Trolls and Winter Wolves were immediately made into mass summon creature cards of the same level.
In order to replenish the consumed mana, he even had to take out the energy storage device he carried with him to refill it.
After doing all this, Zuo Si cast his eyes towards the centipede not far away that was still twisting its body wildly and emitting astonishing heat to the surroundings. He asked without turning his head: "Isadora, can you control this monster?"
“Let me try!”
The girl immediately concentrated her mind and entered a state of focus, activating her powerful psychic powers to invade the centipede's mind.
Since the latter's intelligence level was originally very low, she was able to control the huge insect with almost no effort.
The whole process was fast and silent, fully demonstrating the psion's strange and unpredictable abilities.
You should know that it is almost impossible for mages, warlocks and other spellcasting professions of the same level to successfully control such a huge and tenacious monster through charm control spells.
The Dragonborn Knight Davian discovered that the giant beast he was fighting suddenly stopped resisting. He immediately realized that it was some kind of magic at work and quickly stopped all attacks.
Because he knew that if he continued to attack at this time, the target might break free due to the pain every time he was injured.
“I did it!”
Isadora shouted with surprise on her face.
Since it was the first time she successfully controlled such a huge magical creature, she looked very excited.
"Well done. You really did live up to my expectations." Zuo Si reached out and touched the girl's head and praised her.
Then he used the last blank card in his hand to create a LV6 summoned creature from the centipede.
Obviously, judging from the card level alone, the White Dragon is indeed worthy of being the shame of the real dragon.
His physical strength was actually no match for a centipede worm whose intelligence level was about the same as that of a wild beast.
Based on the experience gained from making so many creature cards, Zuo Si feels that the card level of most adult dragons should be at LV6, old dragons and ancient dragons should be at LV7, and great ancient dragons should be at LV8 to LV9.
But Bailong is an exception.
Except for extremely rare mutants, adults are at best at LV5 level, with the only advantage being "large quantity and enough to satisfy your hunger".
After all, white dragons are the most numerous and are the easiest real dragons to kill, capture, and enslave.
In the Far North, both the Frost Giants and the powerful Orc tribes often target white dragons for hunting.
Some orcs even rely on eating the flesh and drinking the blood of white dragons for a long time to forcibly change their own genes and the genes of their offspring, obtaining the legendary dragon bloodline and being called Frostblood Orcs.
After secretly complaining about Bai Long's shameful history, Zuo Si immediately put on glasses with [Dark Vision] and [Hyperopia Magic] and looked around.
He was a little puzzled as to why the mastermind behind the attack had launched such a big fuss but never showed up.
Is the other party hesitating about something? Or is this attack itself a cover, with other conspiracies and means behind the scenes? Unfortunately, the fog in the Yunwu Mountain Area is too thick.
Zuo Si had no way of penetrating the fog and observing further away, so he could only ask his Shadow Legion to expand the search range.
Especially following the footprints of winter wolves, ice trolls and centipedes to find the enemy's lair.
About twenty minutes later, the shadow assassin Yelinya came back and reported that she had found a cave on the top of a mountain.
All these monsters came from that cave.
But when she arrived, the place was empty, with only a few footprints that looked like those of humans or other humanoid creatures.
