Chapter 296: Unexpected! [Zhilanong] The leader of the alliance appears
Khajiit became more and more excited as he spoke, and an extremely evil smile appeared on his face uncontrollably.
I originally thought that Tang Zheng was working with him to start over in the "common cemetery" of "Ye Lantier".
As a result, the other party brought him into the Abelion Hills, a place ruled by various subhuman races. What he didn't expect was that Tang Zheng had already gained control of the subhuman forces here.
Chaos, death, and fighting are the real themes of Abelion Hill.
Compared to hiding in E-Rantel, there was no need to worry about that here.
"Haha, this place is simply amazing."
Standing on the Khajiit Hill, gazing at the vast hills in the distance, he could not help but open his arms to embrace this chaotic place. His goal had been to accumulate strength to destroy the entire "E-Rantel" and create a dead city. He didn't even care about humans, let alone these demihumans.
Excitement is excitement.
Of course, Khajiit knew that he could safely set up the "Death Spiral" because of the mysterious man in front of him.
If he didn't have the sub-human group controlled by the other party, let alone collecting a large number of sub-human corpses, with his strength, he would not be able to survive for a few days.
"Hero Field" is too strong!
This is the level he extremely desires to reach. He would be one of the most powerful people in all the countries and would even become someone that bards would sing about.
Who is the other party and why have I never heard of him?
This thought flashed through Khajiit's mind, and his smooth head without a single hair reflected slightly under the scorching sunlight.
"Old friend, how did you manage to make those powerful subhumans surrender?" Khajiit bent over and asked respectfully with full of curiosity.
He didn't know the identity of this mysterious man, and the other party had never told him, so Khajiit naturally didn't bother asking.
"Old friend" became a name-like address, even though these three words were a humiliation to Khajiit.
"Hehe, what do you think?" Tang Zheng came back to his senses from thinking about the two rituals.
Khajiit's expression froze, knowing that he had asked a stupid question.
Tang Zheng glanced at Khajiit indifferently.
The atmosphere became quiet.
This group of sub-humans is indeed not easy to control, especially the demon-man Nasurini, one of the "Ten Outstanding Sub-humans".
The reason why the kings of these sub-human races now obediently submit to Tang Zheng is entirely because he can initiate a ritual to allow the lizardman Kuruxue to release the sixth-tier magic "Tianhou Operation".
The power this represents, as long as the kings of these subhuman races are not stupid, they will understand what they should do.
As for the ordinary sub-humans, there was no resistance, especially because the hilly area was obviously in a drought, lacking water and food.
Tang Zheng has the ability to provide them with enough food and water.
Speaking of "drought".
Tang Zheng felt a stir inside, feeling the hot temperature, and looked up at the cloudless sky and the blazing sun.
Recently, he has rarely assisted the lizardman Kuruxue and others in releasing the magic of "Tianhou Operation".
Because it is no longer needed.
Even Tang Zheng did not realize at first that the continuous release of the 6th-level "Weather Operation" blew away the rain clouds and kept the hilly area exposed to the sun.
This continuous impact has now gradually turned into a real "drought"! "Climate phenomena have always been unpredictable. The constant magical intervention has actually gradually changed the direction of the climate." Tang Zheng thought silently in his heart.
The more you understand tier magic, the more you can feel that some of it cannot be judged by simple tier levels.
"The arrangement of the ceremony needs to be more... eh?!"
Tang Zheng spoke coldly, but before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Suddenly! "After experiencing the baptism of death, you can still ask such a stupid question."
"Khajit!"
"Your wisdom is almost becoming as rigid as that of the undead."
A dry and hard sound rang out on the flat ground on the hill, like the friction between two bones. The sound, which should have been harsh, had a unique magnetism and was not unpleasant.
Almost at the moment the sound rang out!
Behind Khajiit, the empty air suddenly began to ripple, then twisted and faded, and a black figure appeared out of thin air in the same place.
The fifth-tier teleportation magic! No need to look at the information displayed on the attribute panel.
As a frequent user of this magic, Tang Zheng recognized it the first time.
Do you know Khajiit, a member of Chiranon?
Khajiit has something similar to positioning magic! Several thoughts flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at the black figure that appeared out of thin air.
The other person's entire body was wrapped in a black mist-like energy, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly, and one could only barely see his body shape.
A cold air spread out.
The temperature, which was originally quite hot, dropped a few degrees with the appearance of the other party. The black mist was negative energy! Khajiit's pupils trembled. When he heard this familiar voice, his expression became stiff. He turned around slowly with some disbelief.
When I saw clearly the figure standing behind me.
Tang Zheng observed that Khajiit shuddered slightly, and his already pale and bloodless face seemed to become even paler.
Notice this small change in mood.
Tang Zheng's eyes focused, and a magical light flashed in his eyes: "Ninjutsu: Detection!"
Swish! Suddenly, a deep and dark light flashed through the thick black fog on the other person's body.
"Blocked?"
"It's anti-detection." Tang Zheng quickly scanned the attribute panel, but there was no response.
Passive ability? Or some kind of magic item? Buzz——
"The second-tier magic "Magic Detection" has been discovered. The required magic casting level (8-14) is met... "
At the same time Tang Zheng launched the detection magic, the other party also launched the detection magic.
"Magic Detection" is a type of detection magic that can detect whether the opponent is carrying any magic items.
Although it is impossible to obtain intelligence on the opponent, it is possible to analyze the opponent and lock the position through the number of magic items.
"Detecting interference."
A faint light flashed on Tang Zheng's body, blocking the opponent's detection ability.
The two sides hadn't spoken yet! The brief attack and defense was completed in the blink of an eye.
"Alliance, leader." Khajiit knelt down on the ground in panic, put his hands on the ground, lowered his head and spoke in panic.
The leader did not look at the frightened Khajiit, but stared at Tang Zheng opposite him.
"In this world, only a force that is irresistible can make a group of savage subhumans submit to another race."
The leader answered Khajiit's question slowly, "I now realize that resurrecting you might be a foolish decision."
"What do you think, my disciple?"
Wow! Khajiit was immediately filled with fear. He put his head on the ground and said in panic, "Master, I... I have absolutely not leaked any information of the organization."
[Zhilanong] Alliance leader! Tang Zheng heard Khajiit address this person, and his eyes showed surprise under the red hood. He thought that he might meet this alliance leader in the future, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Then he heard Khajiit's panicked words "I didn't leak any information", and a sneer appeared on the face behind the mask.
Actually.
Khajiit really didn't know much. [Zhilanon] was originally a loose organization, let alone this mysterious leader.
Even the other top disciples seldom met each other, let alone knew each other very well.
Facing this leader who suddenly appeared.
Tang Zheng was alert but not worried. With his current strength, he would be in trouble unless the gap was huge, such as a true dragon king or a god.
As for the others? Tang Zheng didn't mind using the tenth-level magic [Heating]. What he was wary of was whether the other party's sudden appearance would affect his plan.
According to Khajiit's meaning.
This leader should now be in the territory of "The Horror", one of the three legendary night liches!
It was a small destroyed country located in the east of the Bahas Empire and the Katz Plains. It had now become a true land of the undead.
“This is really a great place.”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Why didn't I think of taking advantage of the chaos among these demihumans before?... Well, I think I thought about it, probably more than 20 years ago."
"I wonder how I gave up on this idea at that time."
The leader raised his arm which was wrapped in black mist and negative energy, touched his chin, and muttered to himself in thought as if no one was around.
Neither Khajiit, who was lying on the ground in fear, nor Tang Zheng, who was standing not far away, seemed to care.
More than 20 years ago? Tang Zheng remembered that it was also the time when Zhilanong was regarded as a cult group and became truly famous in various countries.
The leader occupied a relic and used the "Death Spiral Ritual" to cause chaos, indirectly destroying a city.
"I remember now." The leader spoke again: "There are quite a few powerful demihumans here. It would be a waste of energy, and the extent to which they can create chaos in secret is limited. The most important thing is that this place is too close to the Silian Theocracy."
"Hehe, the abnormality in the hilly area now is caused by you, right? I don't think you have the ability to do it."
"Tell me, how did you do that?"
The leader stretched out a bony, dry finger from the black fog and pointed at the sky.
"Your series of self-contained questions made me forget that this is my territory."
Tang Zheng made a hoarse and cold voice: "I don't like people who come uninvited. It makes it difficult for people to tell whether they are guests or enemies!"
A tense atmosphere spread between the two! "Enemy? Huh."
"Wait a moment, I will hear it from you in person. Before that..." The leader didn't care about Tang Zheng. His tone was full of arrogance and disregard. He looked coldly at Khajiit lying on the ground: "Tell me why you suddenly appeared here. You should be in "Ye-Rantel" now."
"I used the 'teleport' magic several times before I found your exact location. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, death will not be your final destination."
For all those who become disciples of Zhilanon, the leader will perform special magic rituals on them to determine the location of these subordinates.
It is also to ensure that the disciple can be resurrected in case of death.
After noticing that Khajiit suddenly disappeared from E-Rantel for unknown reasons, he reappeared in a more distant location.
The leader then rushed over and wanted to find out what was going on. After all, two top disciples had died in succession during this period of time, which made him wonder if someone was targeting Zhilanong.
Khajiit crawled on the ground, without the slightest hesitation, and quickly said: "It's the 'Death Spiral Ritual'!"
Without waiting for Khajiit to finish.
The leader seemed to understand something: "As expected, the only thing about you that people would target is this ritual."
"It's been a long time since anyone who dares to covet [Chiranon's] things appeared."
The leader chuckled, as if he had discovered something interesting. He raised his arm and pointed it at Khajiit: "Fire..."
Naturally, he would not believe that Khajiit had not leaked any information about Zhiranon. He originally thought that the other party had good talent and was worth training.
Now - die! "Alliance leader! The Orb of Death is on him, and he can summon a bone dragon!" Khajiit felt the approach of death and shouted sharply.
The leader paused and felt a flash of lightning coming from a distance.
"Long Lei."
The blinding white electric light illuminated the surroundings, and the terrifying and raging lightning turned into a flash of lightning in the air and blasted away quickly.
“Teleport!”
The leader's figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.
A huge roar sounded!
A huge charred hole was blasted out by thunder at the location where the leader was just now. The high temperature generated by the lightning formed an air wave, which knocked over Khajiit who was crawling on the ground.
Puff! Puff! The rubble produced by the ground explosion turned into flying bullets, splashing in all directions.
“Ah, ah!”
Khajiit had no time to react. He was first knocked over and rolled several times on the ground. He was then hit by the scattered rubble and screamed.
Keen intuition.
Tang Zheng immediately spotted the leader who was teleported to a height of more than ten meters in the air. He raised his head and looked up: "What do you want to do to my partner?"
Khajiit cannot die now, as the "Death Spiral Ritual" has not been completed yet.
"flight!"
After the leader appeared in the sky, he immediately used the "Flying" magic to keep himself suspended in the air without falling.
"You're looking for death!"
The unique magnetic sound produced by the friction between two bones contains anger.
“No one can escape unscathed after provoking Zhilanon!” The pale pupils of the leader hidden behind the black mist were extremely cold: “Fifth level: Ruined Bone Prison!”
Puff—puff!
The ground beneath Tang Zheng's feet was broken, and sharp black and gray bone spurs protruded from the ground.
A sense of restraint surged up from the ground, making him realize that this magic could affect the use of teleportation magic.
The leader obviously knew that he also mastered the magic of teleportation, so he used a magical attack that had the power of binding and affecting movement.
The 7th "Upper Teleport" can easily get rid of this restraint, but Tang Zheng does not need to use magic of this level.
"Come out, bone dragon!"
A faint light flashed across the surface of the "Orb of Death" held in Tang Zheng's hand.
Buzz——
A huge magic circle appeared under his feet.
The pale figure of the bone dragon emerged from the ground and easily destroyed the magic of the "Ruined Bone Prison" rising under Tang Zheng's feet.
It is actually possible to summon a bone dragon!
The leader was a little surprised.
He didn't completely believe what Khajiit said just now. He knew about the magic item "Orb of Death". Khajiit collected negative energy and spent several years without being able to summon a bone dragon.
How long has it been since that magic item was lost? (End of this chapter)
