He successfully cracked the magical maze surrounding the city on the trees, and also summoned a large number of alien creatures from the lower planes and a legion of golems he created in advance.
If nothing unexpected happens, the elves can only rely on the core barrier to resist for one to two weeks at most.
Then they will completely collapse and become targets for wanton slaughter.
Although these forest elves are very powerful and possess a background far beyond that of most humans.
But as you mentioned before, it has been eliminated by the history and times of this world and cannot afford the loss in population.
In addition, Queen Elise has sent two envoys to formally ask for help from the empire, hoping that you can lend them a hand in this critical moment of life and death, and promised that she will remember this favor and grant you the title of Friend of the Elves.
At present, the cabinet ministers are fiercely debating whether to intervene in this matter. "
Storm Archer Lantis stood in the workshop of the Athkatla Mage Tower, reporting seriously what he had observed.
As the chicken-eating contest among the Sons of Bhaal was about to enter the finals and several quasi-gods and even demigods were about to be born, he finally gave up his job of hunting the tarrasque and rushed back to begin monitoring those forces that were secretly preparing to make moves.
After all, as the one who possesses the Eye of the Storm, he is now the most powerful of all his followers, no doubt about it.
Even Davian's destructive power in head-on combat was slightly inferior.
But this is not surprising.
After all, Lantis's shooter positioning was originally intended to deal damage, while Davian's positioning was closer to being a meat shield that entangled the enemy.
"Favor? The title of Friend of the Elves? These pointy-eared guys are still as arrogant as ever.
Do they think I'm an idiot like Elminster and Alustriel who would risk my life for a bunch of irrelevant strangers for the sake of so-called kindness and reputation? Moreover, the Wildas Forest where they live now is within the scope of my empire's claimed rule.
Tell the cabinet that there is no need to discuss the matter and just write a diplomatic reply.
The general meaning is to provide all support except for help, while strongly condemning Erinikas's massacre of innocent elven civilians.
However, considering that this is the internal affairs of the Elf Kingdom, it is not convenient for us, as humans are the main race, to intervene.
Oh, by the way, you can also notify the Queen of Alistar.
Out of humanitarian considerations, the West Coast Empire is willing to accept a group of elven refugees.
If she agrees, I can send someone to negotiate with Erinikas and coordinate this matter."
As Zuo Si spoke, he fiddled with two construct golems placed flat on the workbench.
One of them is the masterpiece of the Imaskar Empire - the anthropomorphic golem, and the other is the Responsible One who has been eroded and polluted by the Dark Void.
"Are you planning to completely destroy this kingdom of forest elves?"
Lantis showed a very surprised expression.
Zuo Si stared intently at the runes hidden inside the two golems' adamantine bodies, and asked without even looking up, "Why not? As the saying goes, I won't allow others to snore beside me.
Ailis and her kingdom of woodland elves sit between Amn and Tethyr, and are allied with my most hated nature gods and a large number of druidic sects.
So politically, this is a very obvious enemy, the type that must be eradicated.
Now that Erinikas is willing to do it for me and avoid a direct conflict with the elven gods, why shouldn't I accept it?
Once the Forest Elf Kingdom is destroyed, the Empire will not only be able to obtain a large number of elven laborers who are proficient in magic and various skills, but will also be able to clean up the last druid sect in this area that is unwilling to submit to me.
Whatever the reason, the help that Alistar desired was wishful thinking.
She doesn't understand politics, let alone the future plans I have for the West Coast Empire."
Lantis nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I think I understand what you mean.
You intend to destroy the Elf Kingdom as a political entity, and then absorb all the refugees and make them citizens of the empire.
In this way, there is no need to worry about angering the elves and gods, and an annoying nail can be removed.
I will now go back and convey your message to the Cabinet."
"etc!"
Just as the Storm Shooter turned around and was about to leave, Zuo Si suddenly stopped what he was doing and called him from behind, asking directly, "How is the progress with Aberdare and Sancho? Haven't they dealt with the dark elves in Uster Nasa yet?"
Lantis stopped and answered without thinking: "It should be soon.
Just a few days ago, they rushed into the Eye of the Beholder's lair and killed the Eye of the Elder, and then killed the mastermind of a mind flayer stronghold, gathering the final materials for the ritual of summoning a lesser pit lord.
If nothing unexpected happens, we will return to the surface in three to five days.
The ancient silver dragon named Aidalon also prepared a legendary magic, intending to directly cause an earthquake to completely destroy Uster Nasa and the insidious and cunning drow inside.
I feel like she's become more and more extreme and more and more vengeful since she sold her soul to you."
Hearing this, Zuo Si couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and smiled playfully: "No, it's not that Aida Long is becoming more and more extreme and more and more eager for revenge.
Instead, I helped her to understand herself and opened the door to a new world.
After all, kindness itself means dedication and sacrifice, and the noble spirit of self-sacrifice.
It is very, very difficult to make it a lifelong belief.
Especially when efforts and sacrifices do not receive positive feedback, psychological imbalance will inevitably occur.
People who do good deeds will involuntarily wonder why fate is so unfair to them?
What are those kind gods doing? Why are they unwilling to help me personally or send messengers?
Take Aidalon as an example. She signed a contract with the elven god and fought with Rose and her believers in the dark underdark for tens of thousands of years. Her wish was finally fulfilled when her life was about to end.
During this period, how many elves and other races of residents in the surface world did she protect?
How many villages and families were saved from being massacred by the dark elves?
The most important thing is that she has never slacked off even once in ten thousand years.
It is not an exaggeration to call such a noble and kind act a saint.
If I were a commoner on the surface and knew there was such a dragon protecting me and my family, I would definitely be willing to worship it as a god.
But what is the result?
The egg, which was more important to Aedalon than his life, was snatched away at the last moment and might even be sacrificed to the chaotic evil demon.
If it were you, how would you react? Moreover, the Elf God who had made a deal with her just watched everything happen without any intention of helping.
So it's not that Aidalon has become extreme, evil, and filled with a strong desire for revenge.
The real desire hidden deep in her heart is just two words - fairness.
But unfortunately, the concept of fairness is always relative.
The more you observe from a larger macro perspective, the more you will find that there is no fairness in this world or the entire multiverse.
The strong can easily change or even manipulate the fate of the weak, and the weak may be unaware of this even until the moment of their death.
But the interesting and contradictory thing is that almost all the weak are tirelessly clamoring for and pursuing so-called fairness.
But when they become truly strong, they will forget about fairness and start to enjoy their privileges with peace of mind.
So in my opinion, the essence of mortals' pursuit of fairness is nothing more than another disguised pursuit of privilege and a means of competing for the resources necessary for survival and reproduction.
Aidalon thought that he had paid a lot and deserved the due reward, or at least a happy and harmonious ending.
But she had never thought about how many ordinary people in this world did good deeds silently all their lives, but in the end their families were broken up and their lives were ruined.
Not to mention allowing a loved one to be reborn through reincarnation, even saving one's own life is a luxury.
And she at least got a chance, a chance most people never get.
All I did was to take advantage of this and make Aidalon recognize again this cruel world and the paleness of justice and kindness.
When she found out that the belief she had held on to for a lifetime was just a joke, some psychological changes would inevitably occur. "
"So... it was you who induced her to deviate from the good camp to the neutral camp or even to the evil camp?"
Lantis blinked his only uncovered eye thoughtfully.
“Hahahaha! This is not misleading, but showing the truth hidden beneath countless appearances, although it is selective.”
Zuo Si let out a meaningful laugh.
As his strength, consciousness, thinking and values continued to spiral upward, he had long since broken free from the moral constraints originally developed in human society.
Because morality, like law, is meant to constrain individual behavior and integrate it into the larger group of "society".
Simply put, it is to establish a universally accepted code of conduct.
By defining them, people can clearly know what is "good" and what is "bad", and ultimately achieve the goal of uniting the majority of people.
Like education, this thing is just a tool used by the ruling class to strengthen its own power.
It was as if before the spark was ignited, Zuo Si had commonly seen interesting phenomena in various countries on earth.
For example, the privatization of social benefit distribution exists in all systems and countries, but the social responsibilities that arise from it have to be borne by public finances. What's more, the catastrophic consequences caused by this have to be borne by all citizens.
fair?
Morality?
law?
It is just a casual act and slogans to fool the ignorant civilians and make them think that they are living in such an environment.
From the primitive slave society to the feudal system, then to the unified dynasty, and to modern capitalism...
Although classes and productivity are constantly changing and the living standards of civilians are constantly improving, in fact, the core of the means used by the ruling class has never changed.
If kings and other people in power at the top of the ruling pyramid cannot see this clearly, then they can die.
As the perfect tyrant chosen by Bane, the God of Tyranny, Zuo Si has long seen through the nature of the country, politics and society, so the more he thinks deeply, the more he agrees with the concept of lawful evil.
This is also the reason why its camp continues to move towards this aspect.
As for kindness and justice, they are nothing more than lubricants to ease sharp contradictions, a hypocritical illusion built on the foundation of evil.
Its main function is like that of lies, which provides a space for compromise and buffer between people and between classes.
By the way, give people living at the bottom of society a glimmer of hope...
The hope of surviving and changing one's fate through hard work...
It’s just that the universe where Toril is located is rather special. The beliefs and faiths of mortals in the material world can somehow form a projection of power in the outer planes.
The gods, demons, devils, and celestial creatures formed by the projection of this power will in turn have an impact on the material world.
In the end, good and evil, chaos and order formed a delicate opposition and balance.
If it were Earth, where there is no such rule, lawful evil would always firmly dominate the history of civilization development from ancient times to the present.
After the brief exchange with Lantis, Zuo Si quickly immersed himself in the study of two golems that were made with completely different craftsmanship.
Since he had previously interpreted some related books, scrolls, and notes, he quickly figured out the secret of how the anthropomorphic golem could cast spells, as well as some of the theoretical foundations used by artificers in making magic items, constructs, and artifacts.
It has to be said that there is a reason why the High Imaskar Empire can be called one of the two ancient human magic civilizations that are on par with Netheril.
At least in terms of creation, portals and popularity, they are better than Netheril.
In the ruins outside the prison, Zuo Si discovered many magical devices that looked like public facilities, which were obviously provided for use by all citizens in the city.
In comparison, the "responsible person" from the mechanical realm is much more difficult to study.
Not to mention that most of its body has been corroded beyond recognition by chaotic energy and raw matter. The craftsmanship of the Mechanical Realm alone is completely different from any known construct forging method. It is a whole from the very beginning, rather than a model of assembling ready-made parts.
"What is this? 3D printing? Or magic shaping?"
Zuo Si stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
Since he had never come into contact with other mechanical creatures before, his knowledge and experience in this area was almost zero. At the same time, he also had some thoughts of going to the mechanical realm to find out what was going on.
After all, as one of the lawful races, the devils have large colonies in the mechanical realm.
Although they did not establish a huge colonial empire like the Formica ants, it was definitely not much smaller.
Lords at many levels would send their most capable men to the Mechanical Realm to build factories and continuously create legions of constructs to serve the war.
Although the ninth level is a newly born level of hell, it also occupies at least a dozen or thousands of kilometers of gears as its base.
Just as he was trying to dismantle the shell to check the internal structure, the eyes of the "responsible person" suddenly flashed with light, and then he suddenly sat up, like a patient with hemiplegia and Parkinson's syndrome, and tremblingly turned his head and said in a vague tone: "The agreement... must... be... implemented..."
"Do you remember your duties?"
There was surprise in Zuo Si's eyes.
He couldn't believe that the creature in the mechanical realm was so tenacious that it could still move even after being damaged to this extent.
"Duty...mission...I must...must...must..."
The person in charge suddenly got stuck, as if there were some problems with his memory and logic. Then the light in his eyes quickly dimmed and returned to its previous downtime state.
"Okay, I take back what I said before. You should be in the last stage of your life now."
Zuo Si quickly gave his judgment.
After all, although the "Duty Bearer" does not look as huge as the Iron Golem, its body size is only medium, slightly taller and stronger than ordinary humans.
But the biggest difference between it and other golems is that it has a soul and professional levels, and can become stronger through fighting and learning.
For example, the one at the moment has a LV3 Curse Swordsman and a LV5 Mage Killer.
Coupled with its own excellent magic resistance, immunity, and spell-like abilities, it can definitely pose a huge threat to most mages who have not crossed the legendary threshold.
Especially physical attacks, once they hit, they can often cause double damage to the caster.
Most mages below the legendary level would not be able to withstand even a single sword strike and would die instantly.
In addition, the person in charge also possesses the power of insight, and can judge what kind of protective magic and equipment a person has by the light on the other person's body, just like magical vision.
As for the spell-breaking rebound, blood-sucking ability, curse ability and weakening ray, they are specially designed to restrain the caster.
It is for this reason that Zuo Si was so interested in studying it.
As long as he can crack the secret, he can apply similar technology to the construct golem he creates.
…
While Zuo Si was arguing with the one responsible, in the Chult Jungle far away across the sea from Kalinshan, the succubus Lolita Atona and the little werewolves were shuttling through a dense tropical rainforest.
Ever since they landed on this land known as the most primitive and wildest land in the continent of Faerun, they have been asking around for information about the dinosaur god Ubtao and the prophecy of the end of the world.
Unfortunately, no useful information was obtained from either the Nanzalu Port, which was formerly under the jurisdiction of Amn, or the Belurion Castle built by Baldur's Gate not far away.
But this is not surprising.
After all, for the tropical rainforest on this peninsula, the above two places are strongholds established by foreign colonists.
Although local indigenous people would trade with them, they never had in-depth exchanges.
Even the dragon turtle that was worshipped in Nanzalu Port and had lived for who knows how many years knew very little about this.
The reason why it is emphasized as a "legend" is that the city is surrounded by a powerful magic wall that not only blocks the line of sight, but also confuses people who approach, causing them to eventually choose to turn around and leave.
Except for a very small number of visitors with powerful magical powers, it is basically impossible for other adventurers to get close.
Of course, most adventurers never come here to go to Mezro.
They usually seek to locate veins of precious and magical metals from this unexplored land, to dig up priceless gems, or to capture rare and exotic plants and animals.
In the past, the governors of Kalinshan would send large groups of slaves deep into the jungle every few years to search for something they thought might be valuable.
But the succubus loli obviously did not come here to explore and search for treasure, but to find out the relationship between the nightmare giant snake Dendel and the prophecy of doomsday.
At the beginning, she thought it was an easy job and that she could finish it in a few days with her ability.
But after actually arriving in the Chult Jungle, the little guy found out that he was wrong, and quite wrong.
Because this broken place is different from other places in the continent of Faerun. There are no roads at all. At a glance, it is full of dense and lush plants and leaves, and all kinds of weird, scary and poisonous snakes, lizards, bats and insects hidden around.
Even if a little werewolf has a super strong physique, he will lose half his life if bitten.
If you want to move forward, you must wield a machete to cut a path through the dense forest with crisscrossing branches.
看看队伍成员此刻小心谨慎的反应就知道,他们究竟吃了多大的苦头。
“该死!我讨厌雨林!更恨那些有毒的虫子、蛇和蜥蜴!”
身为氏族首领的范格斯一把抓住一条足有手臂粗细、浑身上下呈现出色彩斑斓鳞片的毒蛇,以极其暴力血腥的方式从中间扯断成两截,用力朝远处的空地扔了过去。
她已经记不得这是进入丛林后抓住的第几条躲在暗处试图偷袭的蛇。
但可以肯定的是如果不小心被咬到,那么即便是以自己现如今怖狼的体质也撑不住,必须要接受神术的治疗或服下一瓶解毒药剂才行。
事实上进入丛林没多久,那些拥有释放神术能力的狼人德鲁伊、游侠就已经把二环法术全部记满了【减缓毒发】、三环则是【中和毒性】。
即便如此仍旧还是有点不够用的。
没办法,谁让楚尔特丛林的有毒生物就是那么多呢。
比较直观的各种动物暂且不说,光是不起眼的植物就差点害死好几个人。
所以在付出了惨痛的教训之后,眼下队伍中的每一个人都打起十二万分的警惕。
“族长,需要我变成狼的形态到前边打探一下情况吗?”另外一名小狼人主动提议道。
范格斯苦笑着摇了摇头:“不用了。
这里可是热带雨林,跟我们之前认知中的森林不是一回事。
看看这无处不在的藤蔓与枝杈。
狼形态根本讨不到什么便宜,搞不好就会被绊倒。”
“可这样慢悠悠的行进也不是办法啊。
楚尔特丛林那么大,要是不快一点怎么才能找到麦兹罗呢?
别忘了主人还在等待我们的消息呢。
我可不想第一次执行任务就让他感到失望。”
在说这番话的时候,这个看上去有二十岁出头、实际年龄仅有十七岁的青少年露出了不甘心的神情。
“不用着急,主人肯定知道这趟旅程肯定不会太顺利,所以才没有给我们期限。我们要做的就是按部就班的寻找线索,然后一点一点揭开背后的奥秘。”范格斯轻轻拍了拍氏族成员的肩膀安慰道。
由于获取了怖狼血脉的关系,她此刻看起来也像一名二十五六岁的成年女性。
虽然之前那种夸张的肌肉体型已经在魔法的作用下得到一定缓解,但这群小狼人样子普遍比真实年龄更加成熟。
走在队伍最前边的魅魔萝莉听到这番话,立刻停下脚步用半开玩笑的语气调侃道:“好啦,别那么愁眉苦脸的,我知道你们对主人忠心耿耿。
不过这件事情的确急不得,需要慢慢的进行探索和调查。
因为这其中涉及到了拥有灭世之力的梦魇巨蛇丹德尔。
它所拥有的力量即便是那些强大神力的诸神都会感到胆寒。
所以我们的任务是首先找到麦兹罗,然后向那里的恐龙之神乌塔欧祭祀打听关于灭世预言的确切信息。
至于时间,在临行时主人就吩咐过不必在意。
不管是几个月、一年、两年、三年,他都愿意等下去。”
“可我还是想快点,这破地方真不是人待的。”
小狼人抹了一把脸上和脖子上留下来的汗水,还有好几只五彩斑斓被拍死的大花蚊子,满脸都是痛苦跟郁闷。
任何去过热带雨林的人都知道,这种环境又闷、又热、含湿量高得吓人,蚊虫数量多到能把人活生生给吃了。
从进去那一刻开始,身上衣服基本就一直保持着湿润状态黏糊糊的贴在皮肤上,要多难受有多难受。
哪怕小狼人们根本不怕蚊子吸血带来的疾病,可也绝对不愿意长期生活在这种恶劣的环境下。
“噗哈哈哈!”
魅魔萝莉看到这一幕顿时忍不住大笑起来。
因为与小狼人们不同,她可是神性生物,而且还是来自异位面的恶魔,所以别说是区区热带雨林,就是在酸雨和毒素遍地的深渊都不会有任何问题。
更何况强大的下层位面生物会释放出一种无形的气息。
蚊虫和动物但凡靠近一点都会被吓得四散逃窜。
所以魅魔萝莉可不像小狼人那样要忍受蚊虫二十四小时一刻不停的叮咬,以及各种毒虫、蛇蜥的袭击。
此时此刻她看上去就跟在阿斯卡特拉扮演大小姐角色时差不多,除了身上漂亮的公主裙被替换成了盔甲、脚上的小皮鞋换成了防水的魔法长靴。
就在范格斯想要吐槽两句这位领队的时候,一阵刺耳的尖叫突然从远处的密林深处传来。
瞬间!
上一秒还在没精打采抱怨的小狼人们便警觉的瞪大眼睛。
其中有人为了听得更清楚,主动变化成了狼人形态,竖起毛茸茸的黑色耳朵仔细聆听,并且用那灵敏无比的鼻子在满是水气的空气中嗅来嗅去。
还不到两三秒钟的功夫,范格斯的脸色便勃然大变,冲着魅魔萝莉说道:“是血腥味!非常非常浓郁的血腥味!那边不是有人在厮杀就是遭遇到了恐龙和猛兽的攻击。”
“恐龙和猛兽?”
魅魔萝莉眯起眼睛似乎在考虑要不要过去凑这个热闹。
众所周知,楚尔特丛林是恐龙之神乌塔欧的私人领地,是诸神为了答谢他当初跳反帮助己方击败原初者赢得最后胜利的奖赏。
因此从那场大战结束之后就从未有过其他神明到此地传播信仰,属于不折不扣的独占。
而且楚尔特丛林的气候环境也在长达几万年的时间里没有任何变化,是整个费伦大陆唯一一块保留着最原始生态结构的地方,生活着许多成规模的恐龙和巨兽。
就连各种蚊虫,两栖类、爬行类生物,都要比其他地方更加巨大。
如果非要做一个比较,就相当于地球从三迭纪到侏罗纪、再到白垩纪的时期。
尤其时间空气中的含氧量,几乎是费伦大陆其他地方的好几倍,不管是植物还是动物在这里都会变得巨大化。
后来费伦其他地方之所以出现急剧的气候变化,主要还是因为魔法的关系。
在进入丛林之后,小狼人们杀死了好几只体型巨大的食肉恐龙,因此非常清楚这里要远比北方的森林、沼泽和深山更加危险。
正当魅魔萝莉有些犹豫不决的时候,脚下的地面突然传来一阵轻微的震动。
紧跟着是一阵刺耳的笛声,还有万兽奔腾的壮观景象。
吱——
轰隆隆隆隆!!!!
数以百计食草恐龙、动物,还有密密麻麻令人不由自主起一身鸡皮疙瘩的虫群,瞬间从丛林深处飞奔过来。
在它们的后面还有一些蛇人、蜥蜴人和本地的人类土著。
正常来说,像这种情况八成会演变成为一场惨烈的战争。
因为蜥蜴人、蛇人和人类土著是世仇,为争夺生存空间早就已经打了不知道多少个世纪。
可现在他们不仅没有相互捅刀子的意思,反而竭尽所能的奔跑,哪怕摔倒了撞得头破血流也没有半点停下来的意思。
其中为首的一名土著战士在看到小狼人和魅魔萝莉时,立刻用本地的土著语言疯狂大喊:“乌尔乌塔隆!乌尔乌塔隆!乌尔乌塔隆!”
“他……在说什么?”
一名小狼人忍不住打了个哆嗦,眼神中透露出惊恐之色。
“乌尔乌塔隆!楚尔特丛林中的传奇,一个可怕的猎食者,从未被人真正看到或是目睹过的移动天灾。”
魅魔萝莉拔出了斩首巨剑,神色严肃的给周围队友做了一番解释。
由于她天生自带巧言术,因此能够听懂本地土著语言所要表达的意思。
其中“乌尔乌塔隆”这个名字,早就在两个殖民地广为流传。
据说这个这个恐怖的怪物能够与丛林中的树木和植物融为一体,形成一种波纹状的隆起,并且以这种“鼓起大包”的形态无视一切地形阻碍在雨林中快速移动。
每个触手都像是张开的巨颚,会不断吞噬撕咬周围的生物,直至其彻底被吞噬或逃走。
更可怕的是,乌尔乌塔隆还能通过将一根木刺插进生物的体内,来操控它引诱更多的猎物上门。
等利用完之后,这个生物的生命力就会被吸食殆尽,只留下一具褶皱的躯壳被丢弃在雨林中腐烂。
当然,与所有传说中的生物一样,乌尔乌塔隆绝大部分的能力和描述都源自于各种各样的传说,其真实性存疑。
曾经有一群胆大包天的法师想要搞清楚乃至抓住它,为此不惜用火焰法术烧毁了半径数公里的地方,但结果却什么也没找到。
很多从北方来到此地的殖民者都认为这是无稽之谈,但本地人却对此深信不疑。
不过魅魔萝莉觉得,要是这个叫做乌尔乌塔隆的生物真的存在,那起码也应该是某种传奇生物或自然之灵,绝对不是个好对付的敌人。
就在小狼人们纷纷变身准备迎战的功夫,漫天虫群第一个飞到了近前。
Especially the wasps, various poisonous insects and colorful moths, which immediately made their scalps tingle. Without even thinking, they began to frantically wave their claws to kill them, avoiding physical contact as much as possible.
After all, although the werewolf's fur is relatively thick, no one can guarantee that they won't be poisoned if bitten a few times.
Several people with druid level even released magic to drive away mosquitoes and animals, but found that it was of no use at all.
Rather, the creatures were in a state of panic, and neither soothing nor expelling them was of any use.
But even so, little werewolves continued to fall to the ground.
Judging from the series of creepy blood-red pustules protruding from under the hair, he must have been bitten and seriously injured and poisoned.
Seeing that the little werewolf could not hold on any longer, the succubus loli no longer cared about conserving her strength and directly released a ball of high-temperature flames from the Baator Hell.
boom!!!!!!
In the blink of an eye, the red flames spread forward with her as the center, directly burning millions of insects to death.
Even the dinosaurs following behind were frightened and changed direction and ran to the sides.
"Hurry up and treat the poisoned ones! We don't have much time!" Succubus Loli warned sternly.
Because at this moment she had seen that behind the humans, snake people and lizard people, there suddenly appeared more than a dozen semicircular wooden spheres with a diameter of more than two meters, moving close to the ground.
Once the unlucky slow runner is caught up, the sphere will immediately open, revealing the terrifying needle-like fangs inside, which will suck the person alive until only a shriveled skin is left.
Judging from the way it eats, it should be like a spider injecting digestive enzymes into its prey, and then diluting all the body fluids in one go.
It's just that the whole process was very fast, and it was obvious that magic or supernatural forces were at work.
"Oh my God! What is that?"
Fangus opened his mouth in shock.
As an "old man" who has followed Zuo Si for many years and has undergone a lot of learning and training, she has seen too many incredible and powerful monsters.
But this is the first time that it is as "abstract" as the one before us.
"Save us! Please save our tribe! We are willing to give everything, even to be slaves."
An old man who was suspected to be a priest from the indigenous human tribe pleaded with despair on his face.
In just a few minutes, almost one third of his people had been devoured by Ur-Utalon.
At this rate, they will all be dead in ten minutes at most.
"Remember your promise!"
The succubus loli didn't hesitate at all and rushed forward with the beheading giant sword, starting with the Hellfire Breath.
As Zuo Si's messenger, believer and chosen one, she can obtain the ability to release this flame endlessly from her master, so she doesn't have to worry about the number of times she can cast the spell.
In a flash, almost half of the wooden spheres that were still chasing and devouring were burned.
The rest seemed to realize that the situation was not good and immediately hid in the mud underground.
Just when the natives thought they were saved, a huge wooden spike several meters thick suddenly emerged from the ground.
Before the Lizardmen and Snakemen tribes could react to what was happening, they were swept into the turbulent river nearby by the wooden spikes. Then, algae that rose from the water like tentacles tore them into pieces and swallowed them alive.
"Damn it! This should be some kind of natural force or natural magic! Its real body is not nearby."
The succubus Loli saw through Ul Utalon's tricks at once.
Just when she wanted to detect where its body was hiding, she suddenly found that her feet were entangled by a vine that had lurked there out of nowhere.
At the same time, a harsh voice began to echo in my mind.
"Food! I need more food! Give me your vigorous vitality! Give it all to me!"
"Get away! Dirty bastard! No one can touch my body except the Master!"
The succubus Loli roared and activated the sixth-ring magic [Blade Wall].
A large number of sharp and tiny blades appeared out of nowhere and began to rotate around her body at high speed, crushing all the vines into pieces.
Even the wooden ball that came afterward could not escape.
But Ur-Utalon obviously had no intention of giving up, and instead controlled the trees everywhere around him to continue fighting.
It obviously has the ability to control plants. It makes hundreds of trees rise from the ground effortlessly, surrounding the succubus Loli from all directions like a living tree man.
Unfortunately, these tree people are not real tree people, but are more like a kind of animated plants.
They have no thoughts or consciousness, and simply launch a siege under the control of Ul-Utalon, trying to capture this prey that is full of powerful life and magical power.
Although the succubus Loli kept using hellfire to burn these trees, the effect was not ideal because they carried a lot of water in their bodies, and it often took a while to burn them completely.
During the burning process, they can still move, attack, and even shoot out wooden thorns equivalent to enchantment level +2 from their roots and branches.
(End of this chapter)
