Chapter 186 The Amn Mission (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
A "Book of Demons" from the bottomless abyss?
Zuo Si figured out the origin of this book with almost no effort.
Just like the name, the so-called "Demon Book" does not refer to a single book, but to all such books written by powerful demon books.
Such books usually have one thing in common, which is that they record a large number of ways to obtain powerful power through sacrifices to demons or the Abyss itself.
As long as mortals cannot resist the temptation, their souls will be controlled by these powerful demons, and they may even become their obedient slaves.
This is how many warlock families came to be.
They serve those evil and powerful demons as their masters in exchange for the power of darkness, evil and filth.
Some of the "Books of Demons" are even written by some not-so-famous abyss lords, and even mages can learn some amazingly powerful spells from them.
In addition, you can summon various powerful demons to serve or fight for yourself.
Therefore, although the "Book of Demons" is regarded as taboo in many places, and will be destroyed and sealed by the church of good gods once discovered, it still has a very high value.
Especially in the book Zuo Si holds, there are dozens of "blasphemous words" that can have a wide-scale impact on all life.
This is a language that contains powerful magical power.
Some can cause a strong stun effect, some can make the person who hears it feel extremely weak, some can paralyze the target for up to ten minutes, and some are so powerful that they can directly kill a person. Creatures, even undead creatures that were destroyed instantly.
In addition, "Blasphemy" is also very restrained in summoning creatures and can expel them back to their original plane, where they will not be able to come back for at least one day.
"How, how much is this book worth?" the dwarf thief asked curiously.
It can be seen that he has no idea what this book is, and he just took it out for a "free" appraisal with the attitude of giving it a try.
This also means that Zuo Si’s asking price cannot be too low, otherwise the other party may take it back.
But similarly, the price cannot be too high, otherwise this adventure team will inevitably realize the true value of the "Book of Demons".
So he deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and replied: "To be honest, I don't understand what the mysterious symbols on this book mean. But considering that they do contain magical power, So just buy it for one thousand gold coins.”
"One thousand gold coins? That sounds pretty good. What do you think?"
The dwarf thief had obviously accepted the price and immediately turned around to ask for his teammates' opinions.
"I don't think there is a problem. Anyway, the book is a burden for us to carry." The woman shrugged her shoulders indifferently.
"Then sell it. By the way, take out all the unsold things that we collected during our adventure. I really want this sword of acid fire." The man stared at it intently. Said the long sword that he had just put back.
No warrior can resist the temptation of a good weapon, and he is no exception.
After a while, the five members of the adventure team took out their "treasures" one after another.
Although most of them were worthless junk, Zuo Si still found a few valuable things among them.
For example, a damaged but repairable Iron Stone, or a magical talisman that is suspected to be able to summon a construct, the Shield Guardian.
In short, this adventure team should have been to many places and experienced many adventures.
This directly resulted in their loot being numerous and messy.
There is even a set of "interesting" armor made of gold wire, which has basically no defense. It should be specially used between the bedclothes and reveals temptation everywhere.
In the end, Zuo Si accepted the things he thought could be used, plus some valuable gems, and handed the Sword of Sour Fire to the other party without charging any gold coins.
Because unlike gold on earth, which is the hard currency that best preserves its value, in the magical world, especially in the continent of Faerûn, gems are the hard currency that truly preserves its value.
They are not only decorative, but also precious materials that are indispensable for almost all magic.
Whether it is casting spells or making magic items, a large amount of gems are consumed.
Zuo Si was not even sure whether the colorful gems on the earth and the gems containing magical power in Faerun were the same type of material.
But this does not prevent him from hoarding crazily.
After setting up a stall at the Adventurer Market for three days, Zuo Si finally managed to scrape together some more money to pay for the trip to Candlekeep.
On the day of departure, he only brought Davian and Huntington as his escorts, as well as Isadora, who had become seriously attached to him.
This girl with serious psychological problems will immediately start looking around like crazy as long as she doesn't see Zuo Si for two or three days.
As for the others, they all stayed to look after the house.
After all, this journey was originally carried out with the envoys. Not only were the army and masked mages responsible for escorting them, but the probability of being attacked was also very low, so there was no need to bring so many people.
And for someone like Alena who is afraid of chaos in the world, Zuo Si would never dare to take her to a place like Candlekeep.
Otherwise, if he accidentally set several bookshelves on fire, he really couldn’t afford to pay for it.
The half-orc Rhett is simply not interested in places like the library. He would rather stay in Ascaltra and go to the Copper Crown Hotel in the slums to have two drinks and gamble a little money every day.
As for the young werewolves, they have to learn all kinds of knowledge in the morning and conduct combat training in the afternoon. They are so busy every day that they never touch the ground. They also have to take time to take care of the pups of wargs and winter wolves and cultivate relationships with them. How can they find time to travel far away.
The red dragon Wilmes and Strange Object are responsible for controlling the huge mutated hound, as well as the goblin werewolves working day and night underground in the mage tower, and the growing and growing ground worms.
With the expansion of power, many places need to be watched by someone.
After everything was arranged, Zuo Si got on the carriage prepared for him by the six-person Council of Amn.
While passing through the city gate area, I took a look at the renovation progress of the Crooked Crane Hotel.
After reuniting with the envoys, Sir Crispian, who was mainly responsible for the negotiations this time, immediately complimented with a smile: "Welcome, my dear Sir Soth. Don't worry, you don't need to say a word on this journey. , you don’t need to do anything, just show up before the negotiation begins.”
“Oh? Just show up? Then these 40,000 gold coins are quite profitable. "Zuo Si made a joke casually.
"Hahahaha! Please believe me, your current deterrence is no less than those of the powerful legendary mages, or even better. Especially in a densely populated area like Baldur's Gate that relies on trade to maintain its power A large-scale plague outbreak can completely destroy the port city. What's more, Baldur's Gate has no decent magical power at all."
Sir Crispian said with a smile. The mystery within.
The tone of this man who was around forty years old did not mean to take Baldur's Gate seriously at all.
Because the latter is just an independent city-state at the moment, it can at best affect the surrounding areas such as Belgost and Friendly Arm.
It is still early to bring the entire West Heartland region under its control and establish a country.
So although Baldur's Gate gained a certain advantage in the war, it was essentially fighting the entire Amn with the power of one city.
Maybe it won’t be a big problem in a short period of time, but once a stalemate begins to consume each other, both finances and people’s hearts will slowly collapse and disintegrate.
As a chosen one of Talona, the goddess of poison and plague, Zuo Si will become the catalyst for all this, forcing the alliance of dukes and merchants in Baldur's Gate to bow their heads as soon as possible.
"I see. Then let's set off quickly."
After that, Zuo Si took the people back to his carriage.
With Sir Crispian’s order, this team of fifty people officially set off.
Thirty-five elite cavalry are the main defense force.
In addition, there are two accompanying masked mages, four priests of the guarding god Heim, and a paladin sent by the Knights of the Hot Heart.
As for the rest, they are all servants who serve the important members of the mission in their daily lives.
Since the envoys took the main road, and the suspension spell was blessed under the carriage, they did not feel any bumps at all.
Sitting in the car, Zuo Sili took advantage of the time he was on the road to first take out the damaged piece of ioun stone and carefully repaired it with topaz.
Then I discovered that this thing was actually the legendary [Spell Absorption] Ion Stone, which can absorb targeted spells for the wearer.
This thing is quite rare and precious, and with the demise of Netherese civilization, it is almost difficult to see it on the market now.
Only from those ancient ruins and tombs can one and a half pieces be found occasionally.
There is no doubt that with just this Ioin Stone, Zuo Si will be sure to make a fortune from the deal with that adventuring team.
Having the spell to absorb the Iron Stone under his control, he quickly set his sights on the magical talisman that seemed to be able to summon the construct - the Shield Guardian.
Due to its age, the magic runes and some engravings on the surface of this amulet have been blurred to the point of being difficult to identify.
And there are obvious traces of flame burning and strong acid corrosion on the surface.
Fortunately, Zuo Si has a creator level of up to LV11 and can repair it bit by bit through the transformation ability.
But even so, it took almost four days.
At this moment, the envoys have left Cremur and officially entered the most dangerous cloud and mist mountainous area on this journey.
As the natural border between Amn and its northern neighbors, this is a steep mountain range stretching for hundreds of kilometers from east to west.
The average altitude is much higher than the Xingxuan Mountains and Broken Tooth Mountains that Zuo Si walked through before.
Most of the cold airflow blowing from the north is blocked by this mountain, creating Amn's warm climate and environment suitable for farming.
But similarly, these peaks with snow-covered tops all year round have also become the homes of dangerous creatures in cold areas such as white dragons, winter wolves, frost giants, frost bugs, and centipede devil bugs.
Coupled with the intersection of hot and cold air currents from the north and south here, it is shrouded in white fog for almost two-thirds of the year.
This is also the origin of the name of Yunwu Mountain District.
Dense fog means extremely low visibility, which is very detrimental to humans who mainly rely on vision to identify whether the surrounding environment is safe.
Many caravans traveling by land are often quietly approached, surrounded and massacred by monsters without even realizing it.
Fortunately!
The two masked mages accompanying this time were both of low level. They directly and continuously used [Wind Making Technique] to blow away all the clouds and mist within a few hundred meters around the campsite.
The soldiers took the trouble to cut down some trees to make a simple fence, and at the same time dug traps behind the fence.
The mages also laid out magic traps.
Although these preparations are basically useless when facing truly powerful and terrifying monsters, they can at least let everyone know that the camp is under attack.
Jian Jian and Sir Crispian had a rather hearty dinner, and the two of them went back to their tents to rest.
While everyone else was eating and resting, Zuo Si immediately tried to activate the repaired talisman.
The next second...
A dazzling summoning circle suddenly appeared, followed by a man who was almost four meters tall. The main part of his body was made of steel, but his hands were made of fine gold. A huge construct of materials appeared out of thin air in the center of the tent.
However, due to its age, the structure looked rusty, and its head seemed to have been hit by something like a warhammer, with a large dent in the entire body.
But even so, when it saw the amulet, it still walked to Zuo Si as soon as possible to fulfill its duty of protecting its master.
Obviously, constructs such as shield guardians are different from golems that only obey the orders of their creators. They are bound to the talisman itself.
Whoever holds this amulet will regard it as its master and obey every command given by the other.
If the enemy steals the amulet, the shield guardian will automatically change his allegiance.
In addition, the shield guardian also has the special magical ability of the guardian.
For example, half of the damage suffered by the wearer of the amulet is transferred to the shield guardian to bear;
Another example is that a magic of no higher than the fourth ring can be stored and released at a critical moment.
Since the Shield Guardian was originally designed to protect its master, it will treat this order as the highest priority.
It will do its best to block any attack against the talisman holder.
"Useless exquisite carvings and patterns, amazingly fine craftsmanship, and almost demanding requirements for materials... It seems that this is the work of an elf mage."
Zuo Si after a simple process conclusion after inspection.
Because except for elves, no other race of mages will spend time and effort to make a construct used as a human shield just look beautiful.
In order to prevent this ancient shield guardian from being scrapped, he quickly took out four cards with one-ring magic [repair minor injuries] and unleashed them on the construct in front of him.
This spell can repair the life of any damaged construct, and the effect is just like casting it on a living person to treat minor injuries.
In the blink of an eye, the shield guardian's tattered body recovered to a certain extent.
But this was not the end. Zuo Si then took out a more advanced three-ring magic [Repair Serious Injury] card and continued to repair the shield guardian in front of him.
Originally, these magic cards specialized in repairing constructs were prepared for the Steel Golem.
But who knew that the steel golem was useless, and the shield guardian who came out halfway enjoyed it first.
When all such cards were used up, the giant construct finally revealed its true form.
"Thos. It looks so beautiful." Isadora exclaimed with wide eyes.
As the girl said, the fully repaired Shield Guardian not only has a very beautiful streamlined body, but is also equipped with a round adamantine shield on the outside of each arm, which can be used for defense. , can also be used as a weapon to break the enemy's bones.
The manufacturer was so troubled that he created muscles like human sculptures for a construct.
But this is just decoration, it is actually of no use.
The facial features are made extremely handsome according to the aesthetic standards of elves, just like a hero coming out of a bard's story.
Zuo Si was a little confused as to whether the Elf Mage was building the Shield Guardian according to the standards of a magic guard, or whether he was shaping it according to the standards of a work of art.
But one thing is certain, this is definitely the most ornamental of all the structures he has seen so far
Even if it is placed in the living room as a work of art, it will not disappoint the guests at all. Recognize it.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si also sighed slightly: "Yes, it does look very beautiful, but the cost must be very expensive. Just the Emperor's Tears gemstones inlaid in the two eyes will cost... Tens of thousands of gold coins. I would rather not use those decorative things and make another one at half or even one-third of the cost."
After saying this, he directly counter-summoned the shield guardian into the amulet. inside, then turned around and put it around the girl's neck.
Isadora suddenly opened her mouth in surprise and asked in an uncertain tone: "Give it to me?"
"That's right. If you encounter any danger, you should summon it as soon as possible. Remember. "Psychic powers are not invincible. There are many creatures in this world that are immune to your mind control," Zuo Si said, stroking the girl's hair.
"Well..."
Isadora blushed and nodded gently, immediately opened her arms and hugged Zuo Si's neck tightly, her eyes full of naked and undisguised expressions Joy and nostalgia.
For her, Zuo Si is the only one of her kind in the world. Only by staying with Zuo Si can she feel at ease, comfortable and relaxed.
Soon, as the night got darker and darker, most of the people in the camp, except those responsible for keeping watch, had gone to sleep peacefully.
After all, long-distance travel is very physically demanding. If you don’t get enough rest, you won’t be able to travel well the next day.
However, the people in the envoy did not notice that at this moment, on a mountain not far away, five people wearing magic masks were gathering here, monitoring everything in the camp through magic from a high position. A move.
After a full minute, the leader asked: "How do you think the chance of a successful raid is now?"
"Counting two whites Dragon, I think at least 70%." Another slightly fat guy next to him replied.
Behind him, there were two white dragons covered with white scales.
It’s just that these two white dragons were obviously not voluntary, but were controlled by some powerful magical charm.
Their eyes look a little dull, without any hint of ferocity, cruelty or cunning.
"Not only that! Don't forget, we also have a dozen winter wolves, a tribe of ice trolls, and a centipede demon insect. In short, let these monsters rush up to test the goddess of poison and disease first Talona’s electorate ability. If it’s too strong, we’ll retreat. If we have the chance, we’ll take action again.”
Another person who sounded like a woman spoke his mind.
The leader immediately nodded in approval: "That's the truth. Although Irenekas agrees to cooperate in depth with our Emerald Society, it does not mean that we have to take too huge risks for him." "In this case, Then let's do it. I don't believe how powerful a mere elect with a weak divine power can be." After that, everyone present gave the attack instructions to the monsters behind them. .
The two white dragons were the first to be attacked, leaping directly from the cliff and diving down at extremely fast speeds.
Following them, the winter wolf and ice troll also opened their legs and ran towards the direction of the camp.
The centipede demonic insect, which looks like an enlarged version of a centipede, drags its body more than ten meters long and charges with hundreds of legs at incredible speeds.
Although there are not many of these monsters, each one is extremely deadly.
Whether it is the white dragon, one of the overlords of the cold land, or the centipede demonic insect that can fight the white dragon 50-50, they are the most terrifying enemies that adventurers and caravans are least willing to encounter.
In comparison, although winter wolves and ice trolls feel slightly weaker, they are also out-and-out ice killers.
Not long after, the white dragon with the ability to fly arrived in the sky first, swooped down and attacked the elite soldiers sitting around the campfire keeping watch.
The latter didn't even notice the danger from the sky, and was instantly turned into an ice sculpture by the terrifying freezing breath.
Even the originally burning bonfire was instantly extinguished by the terrible cold air.
"White...white dragon?!"
A guard guarding the door of the tent discovered the huge thing in the darkness, and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Enemy attack! Get up! Get up! We're being attacked by a white dragon!"
"What?"
"Damn! Why did the white dragon attack us? We are not a caravan!"
"Idiot! Now is not the time to ask this! Pick up weapons with me and prepare to fight!"
"Mage! Mage! We need magic cover!"
"Priest! There is a guy here who hasn't frozen to death and needs treatment!"
......
Suddenly, the entire campsite fell into panic.
No one can remain calm in the face of the dragon's attack, even the white dragon, which is known as the weakest and most beast-like.
"Damn it! What's going on? What happened!" Sir Crispian rushed out of the tent and asked loudly.
But before anyone had time to answer, a huge creature fell from the sky, opened its mouth full of fangs, and planned to bite the envoy sent by the six-person Council of Amn in two pieces.
In an instant!
Intense fear and despair surged out of Sir Crispian's heart, and various memories from the past flashed before his eyes like slides.
Because he knew he was going to die.
As a typical Amn noble and wealthy businessman, Crispian originally planned to use this mission to obtain more political capital as a ladder to continue climbing up.
But who could have imagined that all ambitions and dreams would be wiped out before arriving at Candlekeep.
Just as he closed his eyes and waited for pain and death to come, he suddenly heard the white dragon nearby roaring in pain and anger.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that a magic arrow with amazing penetrating power directly pierced the eardrum on the side of Bailong.
Under the severe pain, he had to temporarily give up the prey in front of him and turned his head to attack Huntington who was holding the [Strong Arm Bow].
But just as Bailong leaped into the air as lightly as a cat, a fireball suddenly flew out from a dark corner, directly lighting up the dark night sky.
Boom! ! ! ! ! !
The violent explosion overturned Bailong on the spot and fell from a height of more than ten meters. He suffered severe burns on his abdomen over a large area.
Since it is a dragon with cold attributes, fire magic can often cause astonishing additional damage to it.
Before the injured white dragon could get up, a tidal wave of shadows emerged from the darkness, touching it at zero distance at lightning speed.
The white dragon, which was alive and well one second, fell straight to the ground the next second.
If it weren’t for the extremely weak breathing, it would probably be no different from a corpse.
Obviously, Shadow's negative energy touch took away almost all the power attributes from its body, leaving only enough to maintain breathing.
If Zuo Si hadn't ordered him to live, they would have killed him immediately.
Of course, it’s not much better now.
Every once in a while, a shadow will touch it, ensuring that its lost strength attributes cannot be restored at all, and it can only be slaughtered like a fish on a chopping board.
"Sir...Sir Soth?!"
When Sir Crispian, who had escaped from death, saw Zuo Si walking out of the darkness, he felt as if he had found a savior. He immediately got rid of the guard beside him who was frightened by Long Wei and ran straight over.
Nothing seemed safer to him than being in the company of a powerful constituency.
"Calm down, Sir. They are just two stupid white dragons."
While speaking, Zuo Si once again raised the fireball wand in his hand and pointed at another dragon that was raging over the camp. White Dragon shoots a ball of fire.
Boom! ! ! ! !
Similar to the previous one, the second white dragon fell down from a low altitude unexpectedly and hit a huge rock with a bang. Due to the violent shock and compression of its internal organs, it fell from its mouth on the spot. , a large amount of blood spurted out from the nostrils.
The shadow army that had been waiting for a long time swarmed forward again, paying the price of more than thirty casualties, turning this white dragon into a lamb that had no resistance and was ready to be slaughtered.
Obviously, the reason why these two white dragons were defeated so easily was because they were controlled by charm, so they did not use their cunning and hunting instincts at all, but simply used freezing breath. Attack the nearest target.
Even when he saw his kind being attacked by fireballs, he did not immediately rush over to find the caster, or climb up to avoid the magic attack. He still chased the group of soldiers who could not pose any threat to themselves. Killing.
On the other hand, when a terrifying incorporeal life form like the Shadow gathers on a large scale and launches a siege against a target at the same time, the effect is really terrible.
Although the power attribute absorbed by a single shadow is insignificant to a creature like a dragon, what about ten, dozens, or hundreds of them together?
Since Shadow's attack can ignore vitality and magic resistance, it is most suitable for dealing with giant beasts such as dragons that are huge and have tenacious vitality.
After all, the larger the body, the harder it is to avoid incorporeal touches from all directions.
As long as Zuo Si is willing to pay a sufficient price, it is estimated that even if the famous dragon kings of Faerun come, they will die instantly if they are attacked by a sneak attack without wearing targeted magic items or blessing protective spells.
Without a doubt!
Zuo Si captured two white dragons with an extremely easy crushing gesture, which was undoubtedly shocking to the rest of the envoy.
Because it was these two white dragons that fell from the sky just now, killing a dozen elite soldiers, two priests of the guarding god Heim, as well as the only paladin and the masked mage who was still sleeping.
Sir Crispian kept sighing in his heart that the electorate is worthy of being the spokesperson of God in the world.
Even when facing powerful creatures like dragons that stand at the top of the food chain, they can still win without any effort.
Just as he was about to step forward to say a few words of thanks and compliments, he suddenly heard the scream of a soldier behind him.
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Turning around, I saw a winter wolf that was as big as a cow and covered with silver-white hair. It was biting the neck of an unlucky guy and spitting out deadly freezing breath from its mouth.
The latter's neck instantly became as brittle as ice, his head fell off his neck with a click, and his whole body was so dead that he could no longer die.
Although the winter wolf's freezing breath is not as large or as powerful as the white dragon's, it is still not something that most ordinary people can bear.
Following this, more winter wolves slowly walked out of the darkness and surrounded the camp.
Behind them, there are many ice trolls with blue-white skin and nearly unlimited regeneration capabilities.
Just when an officer shouted for the rest of the soldiers to form a formation to resist these monsters, there was a sudden violent vibration on the ground.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, the soil under their feet was suddenly blown away by a huge force, and a centipede with hundreds of legs emerged from it, looking like it was enlarged hundreds of times. giant bug.
The poor officer was first pushed up in the air, and then fell hard. He didn't even understand the situation before he was swallowed by the bloody mouth of the centipede demon insect.
About a second or two later, as the huge magical creature released dazzling red light and high-temperature flames, the officer who was not dead immediately let out a heart-rending wail.
The terrifying cry, combined with the terrifying appearance and huge size of the Centipede Demon Insect, instantly made everyone in the envoy present feel numb.
If the two white dragons before could still be explained by accidents, then the strange scene now would make even the most stupid person realize that the envoy had been ambushed premeditatedly.
Zuo Si glanced at these monsters that suddenly appeared, and said expressionlessly to Crispian beside him: "Sir, I think we need to talk again about what the six-member council should pay to My reward. You must know that the 40,000 gold coins paid before do not include dealing with two white dragons, a centipede demon insect, and a group of winter wolves and ice trolls during the journey."
"Suo. Sir Si, please believe me, the six-person Council of Amn knows nothing about the current crisis, but I promise that I will explain it to the Council when I return and ask them for additional reasonable compensation. , I will also give you a gift as a thank you for saving my life.”
Sir Crispian bit the bullet and tried to win over the only voter in the team who could turn the tide by promising benefits.
Because he understands that so many monsters are simply not something that others can handle.
In particular, centipede devil insects have almost no natural enemies in cold areas.
Because their bodies are not only immune to all forms of cold damage like winter wolves, frost giants, and white dragons.
And the body can also release a terrifying high temperature, even enough to melt metal.
This is fatal to creatures in extremely cold areas that are generally afraid of fire damage.
Any weapon that cuts at the Centipede Demonic Insect may be instantly melted and destroyed by the high temperature it releases.
"Very good. I hope you can keep your word. Now hide behind with all the soldiers. Leave the rest of the battle to me."
With that said, Zuo Si gave the dragonborn knight A look from Davian.
The latter understood it and immediately launched a charge and jumped towards the most difficult centipede demon insect. He raised the blazing flaming sword in his hand and inserted it into the thick chitin above the giant insect's head with a thud. .
The severe pain instantly made the monster go crazy, spewing out an astonishing heat wave from its body, burning all the nearest winter wolves and ice trolls to death on the spot.
Regrettably, this high temperature, which is enough to kill most living things, did not cause any harm to Davian.
After all, as a red dragon bloodline, he possesses amazing fire resistance.
Coupled with the armor, helmet, gloves, boots made of red dragon scales, and a dragon scale shield...
It is almost 100% immune to fire damage.
Therefore, Davian is not afraid of the centipede demon insect's deadliest weapon - high heat. He carries his shield behind his back, grasps the protruding spikes on his head with one hand, and stirs it with all his strength with the other hand. Weapon, trying to enlarge the wound and find the giant insect's brain to launch a fatal blow.
Although the centipede demon insect does not have high intelligence, it is not a fool.
Realizing what the tiny human on his head wanted to do, he immediately began to twist his body wildly, trying to shake off this threat.
One person and one insect started an exciting tug-of-war.
The area within a radius of hundreds of meters has become extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be smashed to death or burned to death by the centipede demon insect.
At the same time, winter wolves and ice trolls also began to attack the remaining people in the camp.
Unfortunately, it was easily controlled by Zuo Si's [Greasiness Technique], [Spider Web Technique] and [Stinky Cloud Technique].
Then he activated the Chosen ability to give each target a [Blight Spell], weakening their ability to struggle and resist.
Follow up with [Spell], which lowers their originally low intelligence attributes, instantly turning the winter wolves and ice trolls into idiots and fools.
Finally, let the Shadow Legion take action, turning all these dangerous monsters into prisoners like the white dragon before who could barely maintain their breathing strength.
To be honest, with the power Zuo Si currently possesses, dealing with these guys who don't have powerful spell-like abilities is as easy as eating and drinking.
After confirming that these creatures had fallen into confusion or even complete coma due to respiratory failure, which led to insufficient brain supply, Zuo Si unceremoniously took out a lot of blank cards, and first made two adult white dragons into LV5 independent creature card.
Immediately, the Ice Troll and Winter Wolf were made into group summoning creature cards of the same level.
In order to replenish the consumed mana, he even had to take out the energy storage device he carried with him to replenish it.
After finishing all this, Zuo Sicai turned his attention to the centipede demon insect not far away that was still twisting its body crazily and emitting astonishing heat to the surroundings, and asked without looking back: "Isa Dora, can you control this monster?”
“I’ll try!”
The girl immediately concentrated and entered a state of concentration, launching her powerful psychic powers to attack the centipede monster. Thoughts invade.
Since the latter's intelligence level was very low to begin with, she managed to control this huge insect with almost no effort.
The whole process is fast and silent, fully demonstrating the strange and unpredictable ability of the psion.
You must know that it is almost impossible for mages, warlocks and other spellcasting professions of the same level to successfully control such a huge and tenacious monster through charm control spells.
Davian, the dragonborn knight, found that the giant beast he was fighting suddenly stopped resisting. He immediately realized that this was some kind of magic at work, and quickly stopped all attacks.
Because he knows that if he continues to attack at this time, the target may break free every time he is injured.
"I succeeded!"
Isadora shouted with surprise on her face.
Since it was her first time to successfully control such a huge magical creature, she looked very excited.
"Well done. You really lived up to my expectations." Zuo Si reached out and touched the girl's head and praised.
Then he used the last blank card in his hand to create a LV6 summoned creature from the Centipede Demonic Insect.
Obviously, just from the card level, it can be seen that the White Dragon is indeed worthy of the shame of the true dragon.
The hard power is not even comparable to that of a centipede demon insect whose intelligence level is similar to that of a beast.
Based on the experience gained from making so many creature cards, Zuo Si feels that the card level of most adult dragons should be at LV6, that of old dragons and ancient dragons should be at LV7, and that of ancient dragons should be at LV8. Go to LV9.
But Bailong is an exception.
Except for a very few mutants, adults are only at the level of LV5 at best, and have the only advantage of "large amounts and full tubes".
After all, white dragons are the most numerous, and they are the easiest dragons to kill, capture, and enslave.
In the far north, whether it is frost giants or powerful orc tribes, white dragons are often targeted for hunting.
Some orcs even relied on eating white dragon meat and drinking white dragon blood for a long time, forcibly changing the genes of themselves and their offspring, and obtained the legendary dragon bloodline, and they were called frost-blooded orcs.
Secretly complaining about Bai Long's shameful history, Zuo Si immediately put on glasses with [Dark Vision] and [Farsighted Magic] to patrol around.
He was a little surprised as to why the mastermind behind the attack had clearly launched such a loud attack, but he never showed up.
Is the other party worried about something?
Or was the attack itself a cover, and were there other plots and methods behind it?
But unfortunately, the fog in the Yunwu Mountains is too thick.
Zuo Si had no way to penetrate the fog and observe further, so he could only let his shadow army expand the search range.
Especially follow the footprints of winter wolves, ice trolls and centipede monsters to find the enemy's lair.
About twenty minutes later, the shadow assassin Yelnia came back and reported that she had discovered a cave at the top of a mountain.
All these monsters come from that cave.
