Chapter 506: Upgrading the swamp, watching the tiger from the mountain (6800 words)
The news that the enemy was coming did not affect Richard's good mood.
After putting the army on alert and preparing for battle, they looked again at the troop nest built of mutilated corpses.
The output of the five troop nests was all recruited by the Corruption Swamp.
A total of 100 blood killers with long snake tails on their lower bodies, thick arms on their upper bodies, and tridents appeared in the blood mud.
This scene looks like a devil crawling out of hell.
The smile on Richard's face was particularly eye-catching.
Although at this stage, the rare military units are of little use, they are recruited for free.
The pleasure of having sex for free is particularly wonderful.
Time passed quickly, more than half an hour later.
Click~ A crisp sound sounded in my ears.
Looking sideways, a crack more than twenty meters long appeared directly in the Corruption Swamp.
The strange plane Lorena mentioned is here.
The surrounding troops immediately became awe-inspiring, clenching their weapons, ready to attack at any time.
Richard's mental power radiated out and he carefully sensed the gap in space.
It was a plane that exuded a foul smell, like the smell of a corpse that has been rotting for a long time.
You can smell it from a distance.
However, there is a low hill at the other end of the space gap, blocking the view.
Judging from the breath, the life inside will not be weaker than the Naga plane.
But no matter who it is, they will become the nourishment for the corruption swamp.
"Prepare to hunt."
The Corruption Swamp requires a lot of flesh and soul to advance.
After the birth of this special area, it was destined to be impossible to develop using the usual model.
Killing must accompany him throughout his life, or he may be destroyed one day.
Not long after, a somewhat weird roar suddenly came from the crack in space.
It was like the sound made by a wild animal tearing its prey.
The enemy is coming.
The army, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately cheered up.
Although they were all arranged outside the Corruption Swamp, they still looked straight at the eye-catching space gap.
Killing intent is brewing
After a few breaths, more than a dozen tall figures crossed the low hill and appeared in Richard's sight.
It was a group of little giants over 5 meters tall.
They have two ugly heads, and the thick hair on their bodies protects their skin like armor.
The eyes were white, as if they had no pupils, and the whole body exuded an unpleasant stench.
He was holding a mace made from the thigh bones of some giant monsters, and he looked particularly fierce.
Richard subconsciously opened the properties panel.
Brain Eater
Level: 15
Potential: Crown 3 stars.
Richard's eyes narrowed slightly.
The first batch of troops to appear can reach level 15. The power of this strange plane is not inferior to the Naga plane.
I just don’t know if there is a transcendent existence?
If so, that would be an opportunity for Kratos to be promoted.
Thinking of this, there was something subtle in his heart. Chaofan, who was still aloof a few months ago, has now become a prey in front of him.
The growth rate of Twilight City has lived up to his efforts.
He put back his scattered thoughts and looked at the Blood Slayer.
These level 8 rare soldiers are quite different from the level 15 brain-eaters.
I wonder if the number of 10 teams can deal with these more than ten enemies?
At this time, the brain-eating demon had stepped out of the gap in space and rushed into the corruption swamp.
These ferocious monsters with two heads roared at this strange environment.
The bone club in his hand kept swinging, and when it hit the ground, it immediately splashed large areas of blood, mud and debris.
Looks ferocious and crazy.
After a roar, the Brain Eater suddenly stopped.
In sight, the figure of the Blood Slayer appeared.
Prey
Both heads showed greed.
It's been a long time since I've enjoyed such a life filled with vitality. Their brains must be delicious.
Step~step~
The brain-eating demon swallowed and couldn't help his inner desire for food. He stepped on the flesh and blood mud with his big feet and rushed towards the blood killer.
Hundreds of blood killers showed no fear in the face of these invaders and surged up at the same time.
The strongest brain-eating demon rushed forward, looked at the bloody killers coming in front of him, licked his lips, and then violently picked up the bone mace and smashed it down.
Huh~ there was a harsh sound in the air.
If it were hit, the boulder would be shattered.
The blood killer in front did not retreat at this moment. Instead, he clenched the trident in his hand and attacked bravely.
Sonorous~
Mars exploded.
The moment the two sides collided, the blood killer's body retreated wildly, and his palms were compressed by the huge force and split open, dripping with blood.
But with such a wide range of attacks, the Brain Eater inevitably gave way to its back.
The two blood killers on the flanks moved forward crazily with their snake bodies, their tails squirming in the blood and mud, their bodies moving at lightning speed.
In a flash of lightning, two tridents directly passed through the brain-eating demon's waist.
Thorn~
An exaggerated scratch exploded, blood and internal organs tumbling.
Exchanging injuries for injuries, the Blood Slayer's move to attract the opponent with a hard attack at the front point achieved remarkable results.
Roar~
The brain-eating demon only felt severe pain on both sides of his abdomen, and was directly aroused to go crazy.
The mace in his hand began to swing wildly.
The violent sound of breaking through the air seemed to be cutting off the space.
However, the Blood Slayer was very smart and did not attack hard. Instead, he began to use his speed advantage to swim around and attack.
Under the rapid speed, the brain-eating demon, who was strong but not flexible enough, immediately tasted the pain of being kited.
Phew~
Exaggerated scars appeared on his body.
The companions at the rear wanted to come to support, but at this time, the remaining Blood Slayers also launched an attack.
With a few seductions, the brain-eater's attention was distracted, and the battlefield was completed unknowingly.
Under the stimulation of severe pain, the injured brain-eating demon showed no signs of stopping and instead kept waving its weapon.
The violent movements made his wounds more horrific.
But such an explosion was obviously unsustainable. It didn't take long for the speed to gradually slow down and the breath to wane.
When he wanted to attack again, his feet suddenly slipped, his center of gravity was unbalanced, and he fell into the blood mud with a plop.
Several blood killers wandering around immediately pounced on him, thrust out their tridents, and directly ended the life of this brain-eating demon.
A fierce encounter came to an abrupt end.
The blood killers cooperated tacitly and completed the killing of the level 15 brain-eating demon
Next, 10 teams of Blood Slayers formed a team formation. With lightning speed, they dispersed or gathered together, using superb combat skills and tacit cooperation.
After dividing them, they were surrounded and killed one by one.
Thump~
When the last brain-eating demon corpse fell into the bloody mud, less than 5 minutes had passed.
As for the 10 teams of Blood Slayers, none of them were killed, and only seven or eight suffered moderate injuries.
When Richard saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel very happy. The Blood Slayer was more powerful than he expected.
This unit is only level 8. Although the number is several times that of the opponent, the level of the Brain Eater at level 15 is almost twice as high as theirs.
If replaced by ordinary level 8 rare units, I am afraid that if the two squadrons come again, they may not be able to take down these more than ten brain-eating demons that are over five meters tall.
And it is still unknown how many casualties there were in the end.
After the battle, the scene took on new changes.
After the corpses of the brain-eating demons fell, they began to dissolve at an exaggerated speed and quickly sank into the bloody mud.
In just a few minutes, only half of the body was left exposed on the surface of the swamp.
Richard could clearly sense that the Corruption Swamp had become stronger after devouring these level 15 monsters.
Although there is only a slight trace, the feeling cannot be wrong.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the injured bloody killers slowly lying down in the swamp.
Let the surrounding blood and mud cover them.
This is?
There was some confusion in his eyes.
The spiritual power radiated out, and he immediately felt the majestic energy surging out after being wrapped in the corrupt swamp.
The wounds on their bodies are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a dozen breaths, the Blood Slayer stood up again.
When I looked again, their injuries had disappeared.
The breath has also returned to its peak.
Is there still such an operation?
Richard's interest soared.
There is something about the healing ability of the Corruption Swamp.
From now on, as long as the troops that have not been killed on the spot go into the swamp, won't they be able to be resurrected immediately where they are at full status?
This function can greatly increase the war potential of Corruption Swamp.
Click~
Suddenly, the sound of cracking porcelain interrupted Richard's thoughts.
Subconsciously turning his head to look, the space crack more than 20 meters wide in front seemed to be torn open by a giant hand, and it spread out to a hundred meters in an instant.
An irregular space crack that was a hundred meters long and more than 30 meters high appeared in front of him.
The cracks are level with the Corruption Swamp, allowing the strong smell of blood to penetrate the space cracks and escape to that strange plane in the most direct way.
Richard's sight penetrated the spatial rift, and at the end, he saw a hollowed-out mountain range.
There are large and small potholes on that mountain range.
At this time, a large number of brain-eating demons were crawling on the mountain. The space gap drove directly to the brain-eating demon's base camp? !
Unlike the little guy who was more than 20 meters long before, the spatial cracks of hundreds of meters now made a huge noise.
Richard immediately sensed that the brain-eating demon was attracted to his attention, especially the smell of blood rising into the sky, which made the ferocious-looking monsters agitated.
You can hear excited howls from a very close distance.
They smell prey.
Richard's eyes flashed dangerously.
The emotions in my heart rose instead.
These are the nutrients for the corrupt swamp
"Get ready to fight!"
A cold voice echoed across the sky.
Tens of thousands of brain-eating demons cannot be dealt with by only 10 teams of blood killers, nor can they be defeated by hundreds of times more.
The Twilight City army, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately became restless.
Blood and killing are the favorites of evil beings, especially hunting can make you stronger, which adds to the pleasure of battle.
Bang~bang~
A few minutes later, bursts of dull sounds came from the plane of the brain-eater.
The earth seemed like thousands of horses galloping, and the gravel on the surface was beating.
Looking around, the brain-eating demon with two heads and a white bone mace formed a tide more terrifying than the Naga army.
These tyrannical beings weighing more than 5 tons run like cars ramming.
Very visual impact.
Richard's eyes became more and more fierce.
"Put the enemy into the Corruption Swamp and wait for my order before attacking!"
"The vampires are preparing to cast spells, and the stone statues of the dead are preparing to throw their battle axes. The king of the forbidden army is preparing to launch a forbidden sandstorm"
A series of orders were issued, and the troops around the Corruption Swamp immediately became active.
As everyone watched with bated breath, the brain-eating demon army passed through the gap in space like a tsunami.
A series of ear-piercing roars resounded across the sky.
Phew~
These huge muscles splashed large amounts of blood and mud with every step they took in the corrupt swamp.
Richard watched this scene and did not immediately issue an attack order.
Let the brain-eating demon pass through the gap in space and reach out for a thousand meters.
At this time, some of them discovered the Twilight City army outside and roared to their companions, intending to hunt together.
Some of them were excited to explore the surroundings, trying to find their prey.
Looking at the brain-eating demon Yuan Ju Yuan Duo in the corrupt swamp, he began to move towards the corrupted blood balls in the central area.
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly.
He waved his hands violently.
"Kill!"
The cold voice was like the God of Death scolding.
The army, which had been waiting for a long time, launched the attack at this moment.
The first one to take action was the vampire caster.
This evil swamp composed of flesh and blood is the home ground of the Vampire Clan.
A large amount of blood flew up from the ground, directly covering all the brain-eating demons within the attack range.
Thorn~
Cold water dripped into the oil pan, making a violent sound.
The brain-eating demon, shrouded in the smell of blood, felt as if he had been splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, feeling the taste of being soaked in a corrosive solution.
The thick hair on his body was directly burnt, and his flesh and blood turned into pus and merged into the swamp.
The horrific pain made them almost unable to think, and they could only let out deafening wails based on instinct.
At this moment, the attack of the stone statue of the dead arrived.
The roaring tomahawks tore apart the brain-eating demons blocking the way in front of them. The terrifying power made their bodies as fragile as tofu.
The ace unit of Twilight City is not just the level 8 blood killer!
The battle ax flew out and flew into the central area, then a metal storm swept everything.
Thousands of stone statues of the dead and more than 2,000 vampire casters attacked at the same time, and large areas of the brain-eating demons around them fell down and were harvested.
After two waves of attacks, one-third of the brain-eater who stepped into the Corruption Swamp immediately fell.
Even though Richard had seen the strength of his army countless times, he still found it pleasing to the eye.
At the same time, he also felt it intuitively.
Every time the brain-eating demon falls, the smell of the corrupt swamp becomes stronger. This magical activated land is devouring flesh and blood and becoming stronger.
The body and soul of the brain-eating demon became the best nourishment.
Roar~
But the huge casualties did not frighten the remaining brain-eating demons, but instead aroused their animalistic ferocity.
The eyes on the two heads revealed a brutal light, they clenched the white bone mace in their hands and started to kill towards the Twilight City army.
But when they rushed closer, they realized that their enemy was a flying unit.
Compared with Naga, which has powerful long-range attack power, these powerful monsters have good melee combat capabilities, but they have no anti-aircraft capabilities.
Standing on the ground, you can't touch the soles of the Twilight City army's feet.
The advantages of flying arms can be magnified thousands of times when the enemy lacks air superiority means.
This is a massacre.
As the ultimate beneficiary, the Corruption Swamp becomes stronger with every brain-eating demon that falls.
Every second counts.
Richard felt the smell of the corrupt swamp getting stronger and stronger, and he felt more and more comfortable.
He quickly sensed something strange
A large amount of flesh and soul energy began to accumulate in the corrupted blood cells, after reaching a certain critical point.
Around the corrupted blood cells, the blood mud began to squirm and gradually gathered upwards.
After a while, a new nest of stumps sprang up.
The Corruption Swamp gained enough energy during this battle to start producing troop nests
The ability to use flesh and soul to speed up the production of troop lairs in the Corrupt Swamp makes combat an extremely profitable activity.
When five new lairs were born, the number of blood killers increased from 100 to 200, although it was inconspicuous compared to the vast war scene in front of them.
But these things are all made without consumption, and for Richard, it is pure profit.
After the troops were recruited, Richard did not let the Blood Slayers get too involved and continued to let them roam around the outside.
This kind of battle is not something they can deeply participate in.
Level 8 is really too low.
It has to be said that the number of brain-eating demons bred in this strange plane is extremely exaggerated.
After killing one crop, there is another crop.
The high-intensity killing lasted for more than an hour, and Richard had not seen any sign of a decrease in the number of brain-eaters.
But fortunately, with these monsters as nourishment, the number of troop nests produced by the Corruption Swamp has reached the full limit of 20 in this hour.
The number of Blood Slayers also reached 4 squadrons.
It forms a force that can be seen.
The only pity is that the troop nests in the Corrupt Swamp also have to operate according to the rules of the world.
Production can only be refreshed once a week, and flesh and blood cannot be consumed to recruit in an exceptional way.
If possible, the value of Corruption Swamp is probably higher than that of artifacts.
The battle lasted for more than half an hour, and the number of brain-eaters finally began to decrease. At this time, Richard suddenly sensed a special wave coming from the Corruption Swamp.
As if full.
at the same time.
Bubbles the size of fists began to appear throughout the swamp, and the sludge formed from flesh and blood began to squirm and flow around. Wherever it passed, the dry and hard ground was immediately assimilated into a part of the swamp.
The magical energy surging in the swamp began to surge, and a faint blood-colored mist gradually emerged.
Looking around, the entire corrupt swamp is covered with a layer of gauze, making it difficult to see clearly, adding countless mysteries.
"Ding~ The Corruption Swamp has sucked a lot of flesh and soul. The level has been upgraded to Level 2. The range has been expanded by 10 kilometers. The current range is 20 kilometers in diameter."
"The number of automatically produced troop nests per week is increased to two, and the upper limit of the number of self-produced troop nests is increased by 10. The current number of troop nests is 20, and the upper limit is 30."
"The level of the self-produced troop nests is upgraded from rare to brilliant. The produced troop nests and recruited troops can be upgraded to the brilliant level by themselves after consuming flesh, blood and soul energy."
"Ding~ The Corruption Swamp has gained a new feature - Bloody Mist."
"The bloody fog generates a layer of fog that can interfere with the sight and perception of outsiders. When you are in the fog, you will immediately obtain two negative states - slow reaction and carelessness. The soldiers recruited by the Corrupt Swamp will be in the fog. Gain two positive states of dexterity and super perception.”
After reading the system prompts several times, Li Cha felt very comfortable.
Finally upgraded!
The Corruption Swamp is straight out of its nascent state.
Not only has the range been expanded to 20 kilometers, but the upper limit of troop nests has also been increased to 30, and the level of troop units has been upgraded to a brilliant level.
The strength skyrocketed.
Richard took a few deep breaths to calm down his inner joy.
"This wave is very exciting, but it also shows that upgrading the Corrupt Swamp is not an easy task. This time, I have to kill tens of thousands of brain-eating demons to get to the next level. You can imagine the difficulty of the subsequent upgrades."
< br>
With his thoughts at this point, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the battlefield that was still fighting in front of him.
Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6. Each time you advance to a level, the amount of flesh, blood and corpses required will increase exponentially.
He glanced at the properties panel and gritted his teeth.
No matter what, this wave must raise the corruption swamp to level three.
Only with the crown unit can the Corruption Swamp gain a foothold.
He can't always send troops to garrison here.
This activated land is to bring help to Twilight City, not to involve his energy.
"Keep hunting!!"
At this moment, Lorena, who had been killing the enemy with a spear in front, suddenly turned back.
He said with a solemn expression.
"Master, there is a new plane that is about to open the space gap."
"Do we need to withdraw from the battlefield temporarily? If we are attacked, we will probably have to pay a heavy price."
Another dimension?
Richard frowned slightly.
This Naga plane is almost becoming public, and anyone can have a hand in it.
Just when I was about to respond, an idea suddenly flashed in my mind——
The Corruption Swamp needs to devour flesh and soul and grow souls, but there is no limit. It must be the life hunted by the Blood Slayer or the Twilight City to count.
In this case, why did he have to stand up?
You can kill someone with a borrowed knife.
These strange planes do not have friendly relations with each other.
Basically, they are full of aggressive desire towards each other.
Two unfamiliar planes are suddenly connected together, and the possibility of harmonious contact is almost zero. There is a naked forest law here.
It would be the same for him. When he discovers a strange plane, he will immediately send troops to conquer, occupy, and plunder it.
Cooperation and other things will only be done when sending troops cannot solve the problem or the maximum benefit cannot be obtained.
If the City of Twilight had enough power to crush the El Plane, the army would have already overwhelmed it.
This is true for him, not to mention those beings living in their own planes, with different camps, different races, and different beliefs.
My thoughts couldn't help but come alive.
He glanced at the space gap in the brain-eating demon's plane.
"How many other planes will be connected to the Naga plane?"
Lorena didn't speak, her body surged with silver energy, and her figure became a bit blurry.
After a while, it condensed back into substance.
His eyes were somewhat solemn.
"Master, and the other three are inferred from the auras emitted by these planes that they are all medium planes, and they may all be pregnant with extraordinary beings."
extraordinary?
When Richard heard this, not only was he not afraid, but his eyes shone with eagerness to try.
He turned around and glanced at the Dark Soul Eater, Kratos. This level 19 boss still needs to kill a transcendent to be promoted.
"Is it possible for a transcendent existence to appear?"
"A plane of this level cannot breed legends."
Lorena gave Richard reassurance.
"Legends can only be nurtured in large planes"
Richard's eyes moved slightly.
"Can you open these planes in advance?"
"Yes, the space barriers in these planes are already very weak. It's like standing under a dangerous wall and pushing lightly without any effort."
"Then open all these planes"
Lorena looked confused.
"Open them all? Master, our army cannot deal with enemies from several planes at the same time"
Although both the Blood Tribe and the Twilight City army are not weak, they are clearly unable to cope with several planes at the same time.
"No, who said we are going to end up in person?"
Richard glanced at the Corruption Swamp, and the light red mist blocked most of his sight at the moment.
"We just need to make the swamp of corruption the main battlefield."
"At the same time, it is enough to protect the crack in the eternal land and let it freely swallow the power of space."
Looking at Lorena thoughtfully, he briefly explained the properties of the Corruption Swamp and finally said.
"Why can't this land become the main battlefield for those planes to attack each other?"
"I don't think anyone can resist the benefits of invading another dimension."
"We don't need to spend huge losses to participate in this melee, just let them die here."
Only then did Lorena understand Richard's intention and her eyes moved slightly.
"Master, what if those planes are not what we want?"
Richard laughed dumbly.
"Even if some planes are unwilling to attack other planes, they still have to send troops because the enemy will attack them."
"This world cannot be peaceful if you want to maintain peace."
He also saw clearly that this plan was somewhat of a trick.
But once it is implemented, Twilight City will be able to reap the benefits without having to participate in the fight.
Moreover, with the presence of Lorena, who can instantly kill the King of Nagas, and the ability to summon the Fire Elemental Lord at any time, even if the enemy is extraordinary, she still has enough trump cards to deal with it.
The next level of combat power also includes Kratos, the ancient tree of evil and the divine soul Renee.
He does not need to take the initiative on the battlefield, nor does he need to participate in the fight. He only needs to protect the eternal land and let it swallow the power of space safely.
Next, he only needs to quietly watch these forces conquer each other and wait for the corruption swamp to upgrade. (End of chapter)
