Chapter 193 The Four-Armed Half-Snake Man (4,400 words, two chapters in one)
The duergar control a mine of mithril.
This news made Richard's heart beat.
Is there any hope of repairing the broken Paranormal Hunter?
Xina's eyes showed a bit of pleading at this time.
"Master Richard, can I follow you into the underground world? Maybe I can find a way to break the seal in my body in that mysterious area"
Richard looked at her angrily.
"You are injured like this, and you still want to go with us? Let's wait until you can get out of bed and walk."
Xina raised her head stubbornly, her eyes unwavering.
"Master Richard, this may be the most promising time."
"I heard that gray dwarves control a very special alchemy that can exchange blood for life."
"Take out the blood of ordinary life and inject the blood of powerful life to enhance your strength."
"And for people whose blood has been changed, no matter what exists in the blood, it will be eliminated."
Blood transfusion?
Richard suddenly thought of what Jones, the president of the Scarlet Council, did to the three princesses of the empire in the copy——
Pull out the dragon's blood from the opponent's body and inject it with the cursed holy dragon's blood.
He also gained dragon power and a growth aura from it.
This seems like a good idea.
However, the operation is very difficult.
He thought of the key - could it be that the opportunity for Xina's hero recruitment mission was completed underground?
Seeing that Richard did not refuse anymore, but fell into thinking.
Xina saw some hope and continued.
"Sir Richard, I can recover most of it in just two days, and it won't affect the army's operations!"
Looking at those resolute eyes that were always fearless, there was a bit of pitiful pleading at this moment.
Richard nodded slowly and said solemnly.
"On the 14th, the army will set off on time."
"If you cannot recover to a state that satisfies me, then you will stay in the territory during this operation."
Xina immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile appeared on her pale face.
"Thank you!"
Richard looked at the girl angrily, then reached out and took out two bottles of Desert Crown Honey.
He opened the lid and placed it on the wooden table beside the bed, and made a bowl of honey water for her to drink.
He saw that the girl's breath was getting better again, and suddenly thought of something, and asked.
"Xina, do you feel uncomfortable after drinking Desert Crown Honey all the time?"
"I heard that most recovery products have certain restrictions. Drinking too much in a short period of time will cause energy accumulation and the effect will be compromised."
This is something he saw mentioned by a player on the forum. There was an alchemy pharmacist in the other player's territory, and the potions he made had drinking restrictions.
Excessive consumption may even cause harm.
Xina smiled a little.
"Sir Richard, the negative effects only occur with alchemical potions or magic potions."
"Honey is a natural recovery product. As long as the body can bear it, there will be no side effects."
He added another sentence.
"But I heard from the tribesmen that drinking too much honey seems to make you gain weight."
Richard was listening carefully and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Isn't this turning point a bit too big?
You are a veteran who has gone through many life and death battles. With your figure, why should you worry?
"Take good care of yourself."
Richard gave a dumbfounding warning and left the room.
I'm still in the mood to worry about these nonsense, but it seems like there's no big problem.
After going out, he went directly to the backyard of the blacksmith shop.
He looked at the 15-meter-tall Big Mac in front of him with burning eyes.
With a thought, he took out a total of 10,000 units of gems.
The display piled up into a small mountain.
Mechanical body (Super A level, strength increased by 500%, defense increased by 500%, immune to magic, after the body is damaged, it can swallow the corresponding materials to repair itself.)
Swallowing materials to automatically repair is one of Richard's most satisfying skills.
It also allowed him to see the possibility of obtaining a complete body with extraordinary combat power.
The mental power is connected to the control ring on the hand.
All of a sudden.
The extraordinary hunter's eyes suddenly lit up.
At this moment, an indescribable breath spurted out.
Powerful and majestic.
It's like standing under a mountain thousands of feet high.
It gives people a sense of insignificance.
Level 20, extraordinary.
No matter where you are, this level is already at the upper level of the pyramid.
Under his control, a special energy filled the extraordinary hunter's body, directly covering the gems in front of him.
Those gems were like ice and snow meeting the flames, slowly melting.
Then it seemed to have lost gravity, floating up out of thin air and integrating into the mechanical body of the extraordinary hunter.
Richard could sense it clearly.
Certain damaged areas of Predator are being restored quickly.
The body went from a shaky state that could collapse at any time to a state where it was held together with glue.
It's still far from a complete recovery, but at least it has some resilience.
After the gems on the ground were swallowed up, the system prompt suddenly sounded.
"Ding~ The extraordinary hunter swallowed 10,000 units of gems and repaired part of the body's performance. The current damage degree is 75%. The driving time for combat is: 30 minutes. If it exceeds 30 minutes, it will be completely destroyed.
Note: High-intensity battles and collisions will shorten driving time. ”
When Richard heard the system prompt, he suddenly became interested.
This is the first time I have seen data on the extent of damage.
With up to 75% damage, he had to lament its durability.
It hasn't fallen apart yet, and it's top quality.
However, after the repair, the driving battle time was increased to half an hour, which made him feel much more comfortable.
10,000 units of gems are exchanged for half an hour of use of an extraordinary combat power. Although the price is high, if used well, it can be a decisive victory.
At a critical moment, let alone 10,000 gems, even 100,000 cannot buy an extraordinary move.
This level of combat effectiveness is at the level of a nuclear bomb for the current Twilight City.
Strategic significance cannot be replaced.
This wave is not a loss.
After thinking about it, just to be on the safe side, Richard waved his hand and took out another 20,000 units of gems.
"TX, I want to recharge!"
If you can't beat someone, just make money. This is an eternal truth.
"Ding~ The extraordinary hunter swallowed 10,000 units of gems and repaired part of the body's performance. The current damage degree is 70%. The driving combat time is: 60 minutes. If it exceeds 60 minutes, it will be completely destroyed.
Note: High-intensity battles and collisions will shorten driving time. ”
Twenty thousand units of rare resources were smashed down, and the level increased for another half an hour.
The degree of damage dropped from 75% to 70%.
"The higher the repair level of this thing, the more resources it will cost?"
Richard seemed to see a bottomless pit.
But he was willing.
A mechanical puppet of this level is worth buying at a high price.
Level 20 extraordinary strength, capable of slaying dragons.
Someone went to tell Andiel, and he took the extraordinary hunter away from the blacksmith shop.
The girl was still at the edge of the territory accompanying her father who was hung up and exposed to the sun.
Jonah Thorin, who has been hanging outside the territory for the past two days, has become a sight in the Twilight City. Everyone happily goes to see the excitement.
The guy whose brain was all about muscles was a little embarrassed at first, but later he got used to it and chatted with his former partners with a smile.
This made Andele angry and funny, and later she just went down to ask for advice on the other party's forging skills.
Naturally, there is no secret about his daughter.
In this way, Jonah Thorin, who was hung up, began to teach Andel the forging skills in a magical way. The picture became very strange.
Time flies.
14th, 17:00 pm.
The three heroes returned with the hunting army and lined up neatly in front of the lord's mansion.
All newly recruited armies have been upgraded to level 5.
At the same time, Gunter and Gray recruited a total of 24 teams of bloody mummies in the past few days.
Although Richard's original intention was for them to recruit cannon fodder, it was beyond his expectation.
The potential of these bloody mummies has reached rare 1 star.
The combat effectiveness is not weak.
This made him quite gratified.
This is why he has been thinking about letting both heroes learn the skill of recruiting mummies.
Free sex always makes people feel good.
With a wave of his hand, these 24 teams of rare soldiers were given the ability to transform into the desert.
The number of troops in hand soared to 9 squadrons at this time.
Enough to fight a small war.
"Lord Richard."
When Richard heard the voice from behind, he turned his head slightly and looked at Xina, who had a firm look in her eyes and the aura of a veteran of hundreds of battles.
Nod slightly.
The girl was able to get out of bed and walk yesterday, and today she recovered from serious injuries to minor injuries.
Although his combat power has not yet returned to its peak, he is already able to fight.
It is expected that after one more day, the minor injuries on his body will be fully recovered.
Among them, Xina's powerful bloodline is the main reason, and Desert Crown Honey, which has no side effects, is also crucial.
Coupled with the high-level magic potion given by Onik, it took three days to lift a dying hero.
Richard thought for a moment and took out the 3-star treasure that he had redeemed with points from the system space - the Broken Steel Long Sword.
The special feature it comes with is particularly overbearing - beheading, with a 20% chance of directly killing the enemy.
This is the same instant death skill as the Soul Execution of the Ax of the Dead.
"Xina, half a month ago, the flying dragon attacked the territory. You defended the Twilight City with your life and made great achievements."
"Your dedication will not be forgotten by Twilight City, and neither will I."
"Originally, I planned to hold a glory party to honor you, but the military situation is urgent. I will hold it for you after I come back."
After speaking, he handed over the broken steel sword.
"I paid a huge price for this sword, and now I give it to you."
Xina looked at Richard, who was looking seriously, and felt a little touched in her heart.
"It's my duty."
He took it solemnly with both hands.
Then he pulled the cross sword out of its scabbard, feeling the weight and the sharpness of the blade.
Eyes slowly closed.
When he opened it again, the expression on his face was extremely happy.
"Lord Richard, I feel this sword calling me. It possesses a very special power"
Richard smiled.
"Now, it's yours."
After saying that, without further hesitation, he walked to the front of the waiting army, his eyes cold.
"Let's go!"
After giving the order, the army immediately turned around and walked towards the outside of the territory.
This time, he used all the troops in the territory, vowing to strangle the enemies who had not yet gained a foothold.
The 5 acres of ruined Elaeagnus elegans forest was like a slap on Twilight City's face, reminding him all the time.
After leaving the territory, Richard gathered sand and gravel again to create a desert boat.
He fell in love with this method of transporting troops after only using it once.
In the "Glory Era" where transportation is inconvenient, this method is simply invincible.
He felt that he could make a lot of money even if he became the captain of a transportation team in the future.
More than 9 squadrons of troops rode the wind and waves on the desert boat under the setting sun.
The sky is filled with skeletal blood dragons and escorted by dark gargoyles.
This picture is full of the flavor of a fantasy world.
——
"Kadam! What did those damn barbarians say?!"
Snake language echoed through the dark cave.
One is three meters tall and has four arms on his back.
The half-snake man, whose lower body is a snake body and whose upper body is a human body, looks at his subordinates with indifferent eyes.
Tick~
Ice-cold water seeped out from the rock wall overhead and dripped into the small puddles on the ground, making a crisp sound.
Inexplicably, the atmosphere became chilly.
The half-snake man with two arms in front lowered his head, his tone a bit cold.
"The great master, the lord of Bloodhoof City, wants us to surrender."
These words were like igniting the flames of gunpowder, instantly angering the four-armed and half-snake man.
"It's not enough that their war with the gray dwarves completely destroyed our territory, and they want us to surrender to them?!"
"We have three squadrons of wyverns!! We have a powerful army!!"
"We will never surrender to anyone!!"
"Those damn dungeon barbarians will never make us bow!"
The cold voice was filled with endless anger.
The half-snake man with both arms lowered his head and let it vent his anger.
After venting for a long time, the four-armed and half-snake gradually calmed down.
"Apart from these, what other requirements does Bloodhoof City have?"
"The other party also proposed that we should pay tribute to the captured night elves in exchange for the protection of Bloodhoof City."
The four-armed, half-snake man was not angry this time, and had a sneer on his face.
"The target of Bloodhoof City has always been the night elves we imprisoned!"
The other party was puzzled.
"Why is a night elf so valued?"
The four-armed, half-snake man looked at his confidant and said slowly.
"Shadow Blood"
The half-snake man with two arms suddenly became short of breath.
"The legend contains a bloodline with huge power that can even make the evil gods tremble?!"
"But how come it appears on night elves?!"
The four-armed and half-snake man said solemnly.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, when the underground world was still a prison for the gods, the evil gods imprisoned by the gods were tortured day and night.
During this process, a large amount of divine power escaped and penetrated into other living beings, forming this special bloodline. ”
"Anyone can get it"
As he spoke, his eyes turned cold.
"Maybe it's not just those damn barbarians, but those gray dwarf bastards are also spying on us!"
"They have mastered the alchemical technology of using the blood of other lives to strengthen themselves, how could they miss the blood of shadow?!"
"If these two forces weren't unsure about the purity of the night elf's bloodline, I'm afraid they would have launched an attack long ago."
The half-snake man with two arms suddenly felt numb when he heard this secret.
The temptation of Shadow Blood is too great.
Its effect is several times more powerful than the dragon's blood. Even a small sip can greatly increase one's strength and potential.
If the outside world knew the specific situation, they would be exterminated.
Without enough strength, it is impossible to guard this kind of treasure.
"Lord, how should we respond to Bloodhoof City next?"
In the underground world, strength is king after all.
Even if they know the other party's plan, what can they do?
The four-armed, half-snake man sneered.
"Bloodhoof City's inquiry is just a test. Hold on for now. They won't be able to mobilize their troops under the pressure of the gray dwarves for a while."
As he spoke, he looked up at the top of his head.
"When our fortress is built, we will no longer need to pay attention to them. Who would have thought that we have found a passage to the rich surface world."
The tone was a bit fiery.
"Even if it is the most barren desert on the surface, there are much more prey than in the underground world! We will no longer have to worry about food!"
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and his narrow eyes showed a bit of satisfaction.
"Not to mention that there is a weak but extremely rich territory in the desert not far away."
"When the fortress is built, it will all be ours."
