Chapter 275 Assembly-line hunting!
The thick gray fog filled the outside of the valley.
Theoretically speaking.
These gray mist should be Noven's strongest trump card at present, besides infusing believers with divine power and turning the table.
As long as he has enough divine power, Noven can completely drive the gray fog to form a moving "fog wall" and push it across the places he dislikes.
Although the speed is very slow, it can only move 1 kilometer in an hour.
But this thing has one-click assimilation ability!
Any life shrouded in gray mist, whether mortal or monster, will be directly assimilated.
Quite literally.
If Norven pushes the gray fog towards Ceylon City, both the countess and the people of the Glow God Cult will have to organize an emergency evacuation.
Not a single soul will be left alive in the city.
The problem is simply that moving the gray mist consumes a lot of divine power.
Putting a gap outside the misty valley like before requires only a very small-scale mobilization and the consumption of divine power is limited.
Wanting to push the gray fog around all the foggy valleys as a whole, Noven calculated that if he used up all the divine power he had accumulated, he would probably be able to push the fog wall to the border of the kingdom.
However, the advantage is on Novin's side.
Just because divine power is not enough now does not mean it will not be enough in the future.
When he has accumulated enough wealth, he will really push Noven into a hurry. At worst, he will directly push Gray Mist to the church territory of the Glow God Sect in the southwest of the capital of King Leyak!
In the current situation, if part of the gray fog shrouding the misty valley is moved to the boundary of the "monster hunting ground" demarcated for believers, and the cost of divine power is consumed, Noven can completely accept it.
The gray fog outside the misty valley is very thick.
Noven removed part of it, and the remaining gray mist was still "thick" enough to form a barrier to protect the valley.
After all, the gray mist's assimilation mechanism requires the living body to be completely enveloped in order to take effect.
It's definitely not going to be too thin.
Because of the limited amount of gray fog used to serve as the boundary of the hunting ground, Norwin is not completely enveloped in a hemispherical shape like the Misty Valley.
Instead, the shape is shaped into an "open box".
Open air above.
The boundary is only a layer of fog wall, which is not very high, and the fog that penetrates below the surface.
Because the monsters that can be released into the hunting ground by [Pressure Relief] are no more than level 2 and their size is limited, the thickness of the gray mist is enough to stop them.
This is how the "Monster Hunting Ground Monster Spawner", which belongs exclusively to the Church of Seeking Knowledge, was born.
…
When Petwain followed the Deep Blue Team and rushed to the hunting ground along the paved road from Chinar Leader, he witnessed this scene with his own eyes:
About 3 meters high, the gray fog that was flowing quietly and slowly completely obscured the situation inside.
Another team with different weapons and equipment was filing in neatly at a small gap at the foot of the fog wall.
In addition to their horse-drawn carriage, there was also another carriage of the same shape that had arrived.
If nothing else, it is the vehicle of this team.
Petty Wain was astonished.
"What is this place?!"
This is different from what he originally imagined of hunting monsters!
When the captain of the Deep Blue Team said that he was going to find trouble in the monster's lair, Pet Twain thought he would carefully lurk and infiltrate all the way to lure out the lone monster and then start beating him up.
These people didn't look like they were planning to infiltrate.
On the contrary, it's a bit like... waiting in line to report to work?
Deep Blue's middle-aged captain simply explained: "There are some monsters suitable for your level."
"Don't worry, after entering, just wait in a small open space on the edge of the fog wall like other clients." "We will bring the monster over to you when we beat it to its last breath."
"You just need to hit the monster's vital point and hit it hard."
"At other times, be careful not to get too close to the fog wall."
"Otherwise, if you die in an accident, it will be your own responsibility. We will not compensate you."
After arriving in Xiwei Territory, Petwain had heard about the Misty Valley, but he had never seen the gray fog with his own eyes.
This was the first time he had seen gray fog.
After hearing the other party's introduction, Pei Twain realized what the gray fog represented. He pointed at the gray fog wall not far away and exclaimed:
"Aren't you afraid of this thing?"
For the sake of two gold coins, the middle-aged captain explained skillfully: "Of course, don't worry, we are professionals!"
This is considered as answering the client’s doubts and is part of the service.
Not only the Deep Blue Team, but almost all clients who hire followers of the Church of Knowledge will ask similar questions when they see the gray mist for the first time.
The easiest way is to tell them:
Don't be afraid!
This is normal.
…
When walking through the gray fog along the "gap", Pet Twain was still a little frightened.
He had never heard of such a place in the Dark Forest before, just as he had never heard of the territories of several churches seeking knowledge.
What if he stumbles, or if the gray fog suddenly surges and sucks him in?
Wouldn’t that mean he died on the spot?
Fortunately, the process of passing through the gray fog was uneventful.
The gray mist was very calm from beginning to end, with no signs of surging or spreading, and he didn't slip or lose his footing.
The area inside the fog wall was neither small nor large. Pet Twain looked around and could see an approximately circular fog wall surrounding this area.
There are obvious traces of artificial transformation here.
The dense and thick trees, vines, thorns or other things in the dark forest have been cut down in every possible way, and the terrain has been roughly leveled.
Pet Twain could even vaguely see the figure of the monster wandering a few hundred meters away.
Such an environment is obviously to reduce the possibility of being attacked by monsters as much as possible.
Before setting off, the ranger in the team who was previously responsible for negotiating "prices" with the horses and driving them gave Petwain two drops of clear dew.
The second-level magic of the God of the Wilderness [Clear Vision].
The pure dew droplets condensed on the leaves in the morning are used as ritual materials. After being dripped into the eyes, the subject's vision can be improved during the time when the magic is effective.
It is equivalent to the inferior replacement of the level 1 wilderness magic [Eagle Eye].
Although Hawkeye is of a lower level, it can only be used on the ranger himself, while Clear Vision can be used on others.
This thing is also a project that the members of the Qiuzhi Church brought to life in the "killing business".
In order to prevent the client from getting too bored while waiting, temporarily strengthening his eyesight allows him to watch the process and details of hunting monsters with his own eyes, which is also a way to relieve his boredom.
Just follow what the captain told him.
Pettwain stayed in the open space next to the gap and watched the members of the Deep Blue Team approach the monster in the distance.
The performance of the Deep Blue Team can indeed be called professional.
The ranger releases the bait from a distance to attract the attention of the monsters, making them become isolated from the group of monsters, and then shoots arrows to become the target of the monsters' attack;
The middle-aged captain, a shield-wielding warrior, stepped forward and held up a iris-shaped green shield to stop the monster and block its attack;
The two mages skillfully chanted the [Arcane Missile] spell!
It’s as if this process has been repeated dozens or hundreds of times, and it has become as skillful as an assembly line.
…
There will be another update tonight, which may be late.
