Chapter 1066: The routine is also deep
The efficiency of the green lizard priests can basically be ignored, but Bolevin's action made the efficiency of dredging the canyon channel instantly full, and they were dealt with in a short time. Nearly 90% of the ruins were destroyed.
The remaining ten percent was not that it was too late to deal with, but Zhou Xu deliberately kept it.
As said before, at this stage, with the passage blocked, he can regain his strength more steadily.
By the way, Bo Levin, who has just completed the task of "cleaning up the ruins", also needs some time to recover. After all, high efficiency often means high consumption.
Therefore, let him continue to block the location of the canyon mouth first.
For Zhou Xu, the current ideal state is to restore all three extraordinary mages, including himself, Bo Levin and Locke, to their peak condition.
With three of their extraordinary mages standing guard, if the other side dared to summon a zombie demon, he would just stand there and stand still! Then let’s see what other tricks those greenskins can do for him!
Of course, this is only the most ideal situation.
In fact, there is already a situation on Locke's side at this moment.
After all, we are getting older, and as we get older, our energy begins to decline. This is basically a common problem for all living things.
The decline in energy will directly affect the state of meditation. After the decline reaches a certain level, you must go to sleep and rest.
Under this premise, Locke had experienced the effects of a long journey and the exhaustion of mantra power not long ago, making his current state worse.
At this time, because of the collapse of the canyon, they picked up Locke who was resting and put him on horseback to escape.
Although the rocks did not crush him, the bumpy horseback almost killed him.
Zhou Xu had just visited him, and he was still paralyzed at the moment. Judging from how angry he was, he probably wouldn't be able to recover efficiently after that, and he couldn't say exactly how much time it would take.
For Zhou Xu, who wants to regain his lost ground as soon as possible, he may not be able to wait that long.
In view of this situation, Zhou Xu can only wait until then.
During this period, as an important investigation unit, their hot air balloon in Dazhou was obviously not idle either. Almost early the next morning, it flew to the oil village to confirm the situation.
Then it was discovered that the oil village had indeed been damaged to a certain extent, but to say it was reduced to ruins was not that exaggerated.
During this period, those greenskins undoubtedly continued to be stationed in the oil village.
As for the corpse demon, it has completely disappeared!
After confirming this situation, they hurried back and reported to Zhou Xu.
After listening to the latest report, Zhou Xu’s face darkened.
“Have you checked all around?”
"Reporting to your majesty, I have searched the surroundings and found no trace of the corpse demon at all!"
They are also professionals in performing reconnaissance missions, and naturally they will not make such low-level mistakes.
Not to mention that the corpse demon is a big guy dozens of meters tall. If it is really nearby, they can't miss it no matter what.
“How many greenskin troops can be confirmed?”
“A rough estimate is that there are four to five hundred that can be seen, and many giant goblin wolf cavalry were also found. There are at least three hundred wolf mounts.”
There are houses and buildings in their oil village, and those greenskins are not stupid. They cannot stay in the open air, so they can only see part of them.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Follow-up reconnaissance will continue, don't relax."
The biggest advantage of hot air balloon reconnaissance is that it has a wide field of vision at high altitudes and high reconnaissance efficiency, which is suitable for launching map.
But the disadvantage is that the reconnaissance time of the hot air balloon is limited by fuel. At the same time, the movement of the hot air balloon depends on the wind, and the wind is uncontrollable, which makes them almost always in a flying state. Only when flying over can one confirm the status of the target and obtain intelligence. There is no way to stay over the oil village and monitor it.
Therefore, their entire action process basically maintains a cycle of setting off, confirming the target situation, returning to replenish fuel, and then setting off again.
Inherently not suitable for fixed monitoring tasks.
Looking at the retreating scouts, Zhou Xu's face gradually became serious.
After withstanding the series of bombardments from their explosive barrels, the corpse demon's size at that time should have been suppressed to the level of seventy meters.
In addition, during the action, the corpse demon itself will also consume energy.
Let's just assume that the corpse demon's size has dropped below seventy meters, but even so, such a giant cannot be dealt with by ordinary means.
Under this premise, the information brought back by the scouts also mentioned that although the oil village was damaged, it was not completely reduced to ruins.
This shows that the corpse demon was dealt with before it had time to show its destructive power.
Combining all kinds of intelligence together, if the corpse demon was not lured away by the other party, Zhou Xu could only draw one conclusion, that is, among the green-skinned troops, at least there is someone in the transcendent realm or A strong person in the Hundred Refining Realm exists!
In the following days, further reconnaissance results by the scouts basically confirmed Zhou Xu’s guess.
A behemoth like that will inevitably leave huge footprints when moving, and may even cause significant damage to the environment along the way.
However, in the area, except for the traces left along the way when Xuan Yu led the zombie demon to the oil village, there are basically no other unnecessary traces.
This made Zhou Xu basically certain that it was the strong men in the green-skinned troops who took action and eliminated the corpse demon in a short time.
This was obviously not good news for them, and it also made Zhou Xu feel a lingering fear.
The hidden strong man on the opposite side has never made a move before.
Imagine, if the mountain collapse did not occur at that time, but the lizard people arrived in time, and Bolevin took action to directly deal with the corpse demon, what would the situation be like after that?
In that situation, they will naturally turn from defense to offense and pursue the victory.
At that time, the hidden strong man on the opposite side will take action...
When he thought of this, Zhou Xu's face became obviously ugly.
This green-skinned trick is deeper than he expected!
As his thoughts whirled, Zhou Xu called Xie Liancheng, Zhou Chongshan and Bo Laiwen over to discuss the matter.
The content of this discussion naturally revolves around the strong man in the green-skinned troops on the opposite side.
Bolewen has nothing to say. With his talent of 'Controlling Hand', coupled with 'Psychic Power', even if there is an extraordinary mage or a Hundred Refining Realm warrior on the opposite side, he still dares to fight.
To put it bluntly, he has never met many opponents at the same level.
I think back when he was at his peak, he could not lift his head up from the opponent.
"It all depends on His Majesty's orders!" ’ That’s it.
In comparison, Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan are much more low-key now.
Although during the previous chat, Xie Liancheng said that his injury was not serious, "hard words" undoubtedly accounted for the majority of it.
Death is not possible, but his injuries are not considered minor, and he cannot recover in ten days and a half.
Especially for Xie Liancheng, in addition to his injuries, he also suffered from the overload brought to his body by frequent use of 'Lightning Dance'. During this period, his muscles all over his body were torn. It hurts. A while ago, he had to gasp several times even if he moved casually. It has only calmed down a little in the past two days. The situation is even more serious than Zhou Zhongshan's.
