Chapter 21: Roar of the Fire Dragon
Five thousand energy crystals.
It’s not too much, but it’s not too little either.
The elf legions under his command could handle a hunt in a whole day with ten 'five thousand'.
But looking at it from another angle, these energy crystals can train a full one hundred elven archers or elven swordsmen. How can it be described as few?
"Use five thousand energy crystals to exchange for a king-level magic, saving me at least two weeks of time..."
“I think it’s worth it.”
"After all, it is to enhance my own strength."
"When I become stronger, I can kill more monsters."
"Sooner or later, these energy crystals can be earned back."
Thinking of this, Lin Yi called over an elven female hunter who was guarding not far away and asked, "How long has the elven army been out hunting?"
The elf huntress said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it has been nearly two hours."
"That should be enough!"
Lin Yi nodded and ordered: "Go and bring back the energy crystals that the Elf Corps has harvested. I can use them!"
"As you command, Your Majesty the Elf King!"
The elf huntress turned over and rode on the wind leopard beside her, quickly running towards the ruins outside the square.
There were also a dozen elven female hunters who went with them.
They dispersed in various directions of the ruins.
In less than half an hour, a group of elven female hunters returned one after another and handed Lin Yi leather packages filled with energy crystals.
After an inventory, there were more than 23,000 energy crystals.
Lin Yi was a little surprised to have achieved such a great result in just two hours.
"Although the size of the Elf Army has skyrocketed to over 2,000..."
"But to produce so many energy crystals, we need to kill tens of thousands of monsters."
"Could it be that the number of demon beasts and monsters in the ruins is also increasing rapidly?"
During the day, there are not many undead creatures in the wild.
Because there are no strongholds built by undead creatures in the inner city ruins.
When you get to the outer city, you can also see a large number of undead creatures during the day. They roam near the strongholds of various forces and will no longer sleep underground.
"Reporting to Your Majesty."
An elven female hunter said: "The war last night seems to have alarmed the rats living in the underground world. This morning, a large number of giant swamp rats appeared on the surface world."
"They roam among the ruins in astonishing numbers."
“So that’s how it is!”
Lin Yi suddenly understood.
It's normal to have rats around.
In the entire ruins of the ancient elven city, the most numerous Warcraft monsters are swamp rats, which are more numerous than vampire mosquitoes.
About two months ago, with the help of the old tree's consciousness, he watched a live broadcast of a rat tide sweeping through the ruins in the outer city. It was quite spectacular.
Lin Yi said to the elf huntress, "Tell them to set up some magic traps near the square to deal with the possible rat plague."
It's not a bad thing to plan ahead.
Just be careful to clear the surrounding ruins to prevent scattered monsters from encountering magic traps and creating the effect of using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
The elf huntress obeyed the order respectfully.
After she left, Lin Yi continued to sit cross-legged under the Tree of Life.
"System, consume energy crystals and learn Fire Dragon Roar!"
The Roar of the Fire Dragon is the king-level magic recorded in the magic book.
It is a magic skill of the group attack type.
[Received]——System reply.
Money makes things easier.
As soon as the system received the money, it immediately instilled all the magical secrets of [Fire Dragon's Roar] into Lin Yi's sea of consciousness, as simple and direct as data transmission.
Lin Yi doesn't need to do anything, just wait.
After about a minute, the transmission ended.
——[Congratulations host, you have perfectly mastered the magic skill Fire Dragon Roar. 】
Lin Yi immediately calmed down and concentrated, recalling the magical secrets of the Fire Dragon's Roar in his mind.
Soon, a giant dragon burning with blazing flames appeared in his mind.
The fire dragon is huge, with four legs, wings, a bloated belly, and a long and thick tail.
It looks like a lizard with wings.
Under Lin Yi's control, the fire dragon suddenly disintegrated into countless magic runes, and then gathered together again, turning into an extremely mighty fire dragon.
This is perfect control of magic.
He can control all the magical runes that make up the Fire Dragon's Roar with ease.
As long as those magic runes are connected together, no matter what form it finally becomes, it will still be the roar of a fire dragon, and its power will not be reduced at all.
After all, it's just the form that has changed.
The magic runes within it have not been changed.
Lin Yi then went to the ruins outside the square to conduct testing.
He waved the magic wand in his hand, and a flaming dragon flew out. It also grew rapidly in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye it became more than 20 meters long.
The huge fire dragon flew straight to the ruins of a building hundreds of meters away.
Wherever it passed, countless sparks fell.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
A flame path several meters wide was ignited.
At the target location, the Fire Dragon crashed into the ruins of the building. With a huge roar, the blazing flames surged in all directions, turning the area within a radius of 200 meters into a sea of fire.
After a long time, the fire was extinguished.
All the building ruins within the area were burned to ashes, and even some iron objects were melted.
In addition, a large pit with a diameter of nearly 100 meters was left in the center.
"As expected of a royal-level magic, it is indeed powerful enough!"
Lin Yi was delighted.
The magical power of the fire dragon's roar was beyond his expectations.
Moreover, the Fire Dragon's Roar is a group attack type of magic, and its killing range is incredibly large.
Once put on the battlefield, the effect will be absolutely amazing.
"Also, the Fire Dragon's Roar doesn't consume much mana."
Lin Yi didn't know if it was because he was a sun elf, or if it was the same for all other magicians, but with the magic power in his body, casting twenty fire dragon roars in a row was no problem at all.
Looking at the destruction caused by the roaring fire dragon in the distance, Lin Yi felt more and more satisfied.
"This is a qualified magician!"
"How else can it be called a battlefield artillery?"
…
Return to the territory.
Lin Yi glanced at the remaining energy crystals.
After learning the magic Fire Dragon Roar, he still had more than 18,000 energy crystals left.
He did not train the elf troops immediately, but instead checked the level information of each building in the territory.
Tree of Life, advanced level, requires 100,000 energy crystals to upgrade.
Ancient War Tree, intermediate level, requires fifty thousand energy crystals to upgrade.
Fountain of Magic, low level, requires one thousand energy crystals to upgrade.
The Temple of God’s Blessing is low level, and requires 10,000 energy crystals to upgrade.
"The Tree of Life and the Ancient Tree of War are eliminated first."
"The Temple of God's Blessing is also ruled out. Even if it is upgraded, there is no money to strengthen the troops."
"Then upgrade the magic spring."
"The higher the level of the magic spring, the purer the condensed spirit spring water will be, and the better the effect will be. When it reaches the top level, it can also condense holy water of life and then revive the old tree!"
Lin Yi then summoned a group of elf hunters who stayed in the territory.
Let them make barrels.
Finally, drain the elven spring water in the magic spring.
After doing all this, Lin Yi consumed a thousand energy crystals and upgraded the magic spring to the intermediate level.
After the upgrade, the magic spring not only exudes a richer breath of life and nature, but its scale has also expanded several times and can carry more elven spring water.
Looking at the ancient well again, the spring water that had just been drained was full again.
"Just as I thought."
"Fortunately, it was drained in advance, otherwise it would have been wasted."
Lin Yi looked at the elf female hunters behind him and said, "Keep drawing."
"As you command, Your Majesty the Elf King!"
