Chapter 298 The Second Wave of Attack
Shu Li and the others cast a wave of magic, meditated around the fire, and accumulated the consumed magic power.
The snow-capped mountains have abundant water elements, but other natural elements are relatively scarce, and the wood element is even more scarce.
Except for water magicians who can easily summon water elements from the air, magicians of other attributes have to use the magic power stored in their bodies to a greater or lesser extent.
According to Shu Li, magic power is equivalent to the blue bar in the game. The magician consumes the blue bar when using skills. The more powerful the skill, the higher the blue bar value consumed.
I just cast so many high-level spells without reservation that half of my mana bar was gone.
In order to deal with the second wave of attacks from the hunting group, the magicians must sit down and meditate as soon as possible, absorbing the natural elements in the air and converting them into corresponding magic power.
The hundred-man group escaped the disaster without any danger. While the first hunting group was escaping, Nasakara swallowed his pride and came in person to ask Morrissey to build a circular ice wall camp for them.
Morrissey didn't answer, but looked at Shu Li.
Nasak frowned slightly.
He thought the dark elf was the captain of this rookie adventure team, but who knew he had to seek the opinion of a low-level magician?
Nasak is a man who can bend and stretch, otherwise he would not have become a well-known leader of a hundred-man regiment.
He took out 500 gold coins that he had prepared long ago from his storage bag and patiently said to the little magician, "Please help me."
Shu Li caught a glimpse of the frustration hidden in his eyes and said with a smile, "I can help you, but the reward needs to be doubled."
Nasak frowned.
Is this guy taking the opportunity to blackmail me?
Why does everyone else ask for 500 gold coins, but he asks for 1,000 gold coins?
Shu Li wasn't afraid of the other party getting angry, so he slowly explained, "Your team has more people, and the camp has expanded. Our workload has increased, so naturally, our remuneration will double."
Nasak thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
He stopped hesitating and took out a purse containing 500 gold coins and handed it to Shu Li.
Shu Li accepted the 1,000 gold coins and called on Budno, Amanda, and Morrissey to build a ten-layer circular ice wall camp for the 100-man group as quickly as possible.
The hundred-man group quickly left the cave and moved into the ice wall camp.
Almost as soon as they entered, the second wave of attack from the hunting group arrived.
This time, the attackers numbered as many as three hundred people, of all races, and their strength was two levels higher than the first wave of vanguard teams.
The necromancer Borut laughed eerily when he saw the six circular ice wall camps.
"Shaq, is this the magical defensive ice wall you mentioned?"
"Yes... yes." The vanguard leader Shak stood behind the necromancer in a dishevel and answered respectfully.
After he escaped, he was ridiculed by the other members of the hunting group and felt utterly ashamed. Fortunately, the boss did not blame him and invited the necromancer Borut to lead 300 powerful subordinates to launch a second wave of attack on the reckless adventurers.
"Isn't it just an ice wall? How powerful can it be?" Huo Yien, the burly leader of the hunting group, looked disdainful.
The more than one hundred people in the vanguard are new recruits this year and are not considered formal members of the hunting team.
The main purpose of gathering them as vanguards tonight is to test the strength of the adventure group.
As a result, this bunch of useless guys were so useless that they were wiped out in less than half an hour, and only Shaq escaped.
For the second attack, Huo Yien brought three hundred elites, plus the necromancer Borut at the level of a mage saint, and he didn't believe that he couldn't destroy this group of adventurers.
Borut narrowed his eyes, examining the ice wall ahead. "This is truly the work of a great mage. It can withstand attacks from even a mage saint."
Huo Yien was surprised: "Is it true?"
Even Borut acknowledged the other party's strength.
"Can you crack it?" he asked in a deep voice.
If even Borut can't destroy the ice wall, then they won't return empty-handed tonight?
The necromancer, half of his face hidden in his furry hood, laughed evilly: "It's been a long time since I last collected high-level magic materials."
Over the years, most of the magicians who came to the Snow Country for adventure were below the level of Grand Mage, and the materials they carried with them were not worth mentioning, and very few of them could be used by him at the level of a Mage Saint.
Upon learning that there would be an archmage adventurer today, Borut came over with great interest to see if this was true.
Now, he was very happy to see the ice wall with a high-level defense array attached to it.
"Although the ice wall is strong, it cannot protect against a high-level necromancer."
Borut raised his skull-shaped magic wand, pointed it at the ice wall camp where Team Light was located, and chanted a spell in a hoarse voice.
As the spell fell, a ball of black gas shot out from the front end of the magic wand. The black gas wrapped in lightning hit the ice wall domineeringly, making a "crackling" sound.
The defensive magic circle on the ice wall was forcibly suppressed and lost its effect instantly, causing the ice wall to crack.
Shaq's eyes widened in surprise.
Previously, the vanguard he led attacked together, but the ice wall did not move at all. After Lord Borut arrived, he shattered it with one blow without any effort.
Just as he was flattering the necromancer, the ice wall that was about to break suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original state.
"Wha...what?" Shaq opened his mouth in disbelief.
Huo Yien frowned. "Failed?"
Borut put down his staff and examined the newly condensed ice wall. "Interesting. There are seven kinds of magic circles engraved on it."
Wind, fire, water, earth, wood, light and darkness, all seven attributes are complete.
There is a dark magician in this adventure group, and he is a magician at the level of a great wizard.
Humans have always been against dark magic, because once they lose control, they become black magicians.
A black mage is different from a necromancer.
The Necromancer has no moral bottom line and can command skeletons and souls at will. As long as the benefits are great enough, he can become a cruel executioner.
Black magicians are different. Their souls have not been completely sold to the God of Darkness. Most of them are not bound by worldly affairs and are research maniacs immersed in magic.
Borut is very interested in the black magician in the adventure team. If possible, he wants to pull him into the hunting group and make him a true necromancer.
Raising his magic wand, he chanted a long spell.
"Great God of Darkness, Miroka Hodhe, I am your faithful follower, Borut Marion. Please grant me the most powerful power of darkness to break through this ice wall that blocks my progress—"
Even a necromancer at the level of a mage saint must recite the entire spell if he wants to unleash his greatest power.
When the thick black air condensed into a whirlwind, hundreds of skeletons emerged from the ground.
These skeletons are all adventurers who died in the snowy mountains.
After the hunting group killed and robbed people, they did not even spare the corpses, and handed them all over to the necromancer to be used as puppets.
The ice wall can block the attack, but it can't stop the skeletons from emerging from the ground.
Horrible skeletons emerged from every camp of the adventure group. They were dressed in rags, with rotten flesh hanging from their bones, and two balls of black flames burning in their sunken eyes. They were controlled by the necromancer and raised their weapons.
"It's true that one mistake can be made even when there is a thousand precautions!"
Shu Li muttered as he dodged the skeleton's attack.
There were defenses in front, behind, left, right and above, but the ground was ignored, and the necromancer took advantage of it.
Fortunately, the number of skeletons that appeared was small, and the Light Team, which had been prepared for battle, joined forces and wiped out the skeleton army in a few moves.
There were constant curses and fierce fighting in the camps of other adventure teams.
Nasak, the leader of the Centuriae, was very depressed.
He had just spent 1,000 gold coins to build an ice wall camp, but it didn't work and he was attacked by skeletons.
If he can't defend it left or right, why should he waste his money?
Huo Yien heard the sound of fighting and started to prepare for battle with the elites behind him.
"Boruto, quickly destroy these ice walls! I want to have a good fight with my brothers!"
He brandished the broadsword in his hand, and a bloodthirsty look appeared on his fleshy face.
"Don't worry, wait until I break these defense arrays." Borut tried to use various magic to attack the ice wall, and was surprised to find that the magic arrays of seven attributes were interdependent. If one failed, another would immediately fill in, leaving him no chance to break it.
Huo Yien and his elite subordinates behind him were eager to act, but they did not dare to act on their own while Borut was studying the magic circle.
The hunting group has been able to develop and last for a thousand years, all thanks to Borut.
The necromancer is permanent, but the captain is ever-changing.
Huo Yien is the fifth generation leader of the hunting group, and he doesn't have much say in front of Borut.
In the Ice Wall Camp, Team Light cleared out the skeletons and gathered together to discuss.
"That necromancer outside is not easy to deal with." Morrissey touched his smooth chin.
"Have you ever met him when you went up the snowy mountains before?" Shu Li asked.
Morrissey shook his head and said, "I didn't encounter him the first two times I went up the snowy mountains. I heard that he cooperated with the hunting group in order to obtain more fresh corpses."
Hector suddenly realized: "No wonder, we have been traveling all the way here cleanly."
It turned out that the corpses of the adventurers had become puppets of the necromancer.
Dizio said, "No matter if he's a necromancer or not, can't all of us magicians defeat him?"
He glanced at Seleu, who remained calm and composed.
Seleu is the demon sword Carlos. As long as he transforms, even the nightmare that has lived for ten thousand years will not be his opponent!
"Maybe we can give it a try." Seleu held the sword hanging on his waist and said seriously.
"It's better to be cautious," Sadler said solemnly, "Given his current attack momentum, the ice wall can only hold out for half an hour."
After half an hour, all the ice walls will collapse, and they will face the hunting group directly.
Shu Li hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Farm. "Let's make this a quick fight!"
Farm struggled: "Wait a minute—Sperien, isn't it too uncool to let me go now?"
You have to wait until the end to use your ultimate move!
Shu Li grinned at it: "You have to work hard for us to have a good sleep!"
Budno yawned at the right moment: "I'm so sleepy~~~"
Siti and Nasha rubbed their faces.
"I haven't been getting enough sleep lately, and my skin has gotten worse."
"Yeah, I got pimples."
Angel poked the little monster's round belly with his finger and said with a cute smile, "Farm, please!"
Amanda pulled out a half-foot-long sea fish from her storage bag. "Here's a midnight snack for you."
Farm stopped struggling and stared at the fish, his mouth watering. "One isn't enough, at least ten!"
If you want it to work, you have to come up with something substantial.
"No problem!" Amanda pulled out the storage ring hanging on the necklace and took out a four-meter-long giant sea beast from it.
Farm's eyes lit up.
Usually Amanda only shares sea fish less than one meter long, but today she was willing to take out a four-meter-long high-level underwater monster.
"Hiss~~" Its saliva was flowing out.
The others looked at the fresh sea beast corpse on the ground and took two steps back at the same time.
Morrissey and Sadler looked at each other.
It is impossible for humans to successfully hunt this kind of high-level sea beast, unless... the mermaids or dragons can hunt it freely on the seabed.
Will Amanda be one of them?
Shu Li shook Farm: "Are you satisfied now?"
Farm chuckled: "Satisfied, satisfied!"
After the first layer of ice wall was smashed by the necromancer's magic, Farm spread its wings and flew into the sky. Under the shocked gaze of Sadler and Morrissey, its body suddenly expanded and turned into a giant monster more than ten meters long.
I saw that its whole body was red, with horns on its head, bat wings on its back, four sharp claws, and a long and thick tail. It looked like a fire dragon lizard, but more majestic and ferocious.
Whether it was the adventure group or the hunting group, they were all stunned when they saw a high-level magical beast that should live in the desert suddenly appear in the sky.
Farm made a grand entrance, very pleased with the effect he had created, and opened his mouth wide.
“Ouch—”
When the God of Fire's mount roars, even the snow-capped mountains tremble.
