Chapter 506 Buffalo Moon
John used the water mirror technique to directly connect the Eye of True Seeing to the water mirror.
In this way, as long as the basin of water as a carrier is always there and someone continues to provide it with magic power, this spell can be maintained.
With this spell, Yu Lan can call up the scenes seen by each investigative eye at any time.
Xu Lai also looked at the picture. To be honest, it was a bit dark and did not have the infrared function like a surveillance camera.
But the underground environment is like this, and the picture seen through the detective eye is already clearer and brighter than the picture seen with the naked eye.
The Detective Eye is a perfect eye, much easier to use than ordinary human eyes.
At this time, John also saw the picture in the mirror, and couldn't help but frown:
"I'm sorry, Lord, it seems to be my mistake.
I ignored the dark environment of the dungeon. If you are willing to wait for me for a while, I can deploy an enhanced version of the Eye of Detection
The enhanced version of the Detection Eye has infrared vision, which will have a larger detection range and clearer images. "
Xu Lai was stunned. It turns out that there really is a night vision version of the infrared reconnaissance eye.
"Of course, I think we still have a lot of time for the time being.
And don’t worry, if you have better and stronger detection methods, please use them too.
No matter how much spell materials you consume on this trip, I can reimburse you and provide you with an additional hard-earned fee after you return. ”
Xu Lai is usually stingy, but when he should be generous, he is never stingy.
As long as John's investigation method can increase the probability of discovering Moriel's army in advance, it will be worth Xu Lai's investment.
Xu Lai's words also dispelled John's last doubts, and with a smile on his face, he went to deploy new investigative eyes.
Xu Lai not only fully reimbursed him for the cost of casting spells, but also paid a hard-earned fee afterwards, which meant that John was using other people's money to experiment with his own spells.
If you miss such a good thing, wouldn't you be punished by God?
The new investigative eye took longer to deploy, and Xu Lai waited for more than an hour.
However, the new detective eyes are very effective.
In areas with low light, the amount of light can be amplified. Not only can the picture be as bright as day, but at least it can be seen clearly.
Infrared black and white images can also be displayed in dark places.
Similarly, not only can you see clearly, but at least if you look carefully, you won't miss anything.
Xu Lai nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, let's decorate according to this standard. How much does it cost to decorate one?"
John was too embarrassed to say more, so he said: "I will decorate These investigative eyes are permanent, so the materials may be more expensive. Each one costs at least one thousand gold coins."
Xu Lai said with a smile: "Then I will pay you 1,500 gold coins for each one, please. After two days of hard work, I may have a lot to arrange.”
“It’s not hard work, it’s all what I should do.”
The price quoted by John is already included. In addition to his own hard work, Xu Lai was willing to add 500 gold at a time, even after he had already received payment.
Suddenly, John became particularly active. Regardless of the fatigue of abandoning the boat and the darkness of the underground city, he took the initiative to propose to Xu Lai to start as early as possible and finish as soon as possible.
Of course Xu Lai has no objection. He is eager to start early.
What John didn't expect was that Xu Lai had arranged so many eye positions.
After asking John clearly about the materials he carried and his mana consumption, he had to place a detective eye at almost every fork in the road.
A reconnaissance eye, John made it from materials, cast the spell, then placed it in a hidden corner, and finally connected it to the control center arranged in Mingyue City.
The whole process took just over an hour at first, and gradually turned into two hours. By the 13th time, it took a full three hours to complete the connection.
After finishing this, Xu Lai asked: "Did the mage not have enough mana? Or did he not have enough physical strength? It doesn't matter. I have physical potions and mana potions here."
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, John smiled bitterly and said: "No, it's because the distance between us is getting farther and farther, and the connection with the control center is getting more and more difficult.
If we continue to go back, I'm afraid an investigation will be arranged It will become more and more difficult."
Xu Lai frowned, but he didn't expect that this thing would have a distance limit.
Seeing Xu Lai frowning, John also trembled in his heart. He had already collected the money, and it seemed a bit unreasonable to talk about it now.
But he never thought before that Xu Lai would spread his cloth so far?
Although they have only arranged 13, they have already arranged them for more than a day. In less than an hour, it will be past 12 o'clock.
Moreover, Xu Lai only deployed these 13 reconnaissance eyes at forks in the road and did not go deep.
Xu Lai was also afraid that something would happen in the new month after 12 o'clock, so he kept spreading the news.
"This is too far from the control center of Mingyue City. So, can we build an additional control center here and connect this control center to Mingyue City?"
After all, I am born in a modern society, in this era. Unexpectedly, Xu Lai suddenly thought of trying the relay method.
John thought for a while and then said: "We can give it a try.
It's just that the distance between the two control centers is still very far. Even if they can be connected, the outer control center will not You can't send too many images back, otherwise the magic channel will be blocked."
Xu Lai said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I have at most 3 or 4 detective eyes to deploy.
< br>
The distance is relatively far. If we go further, we should see a maze, one at the entrance of the maze and one at the exit of the maze. "
John nodded and said: "That's no problem. The investigative eye only needs to contact this temporary control center.
If this is used as the new center, there will be no problem connecting the Detection Eyes within a 30-kilometer radius.
My enhanced version can reach a distance of up to 50 kilometers. "
Xu Lai nodded and said: "Then let's get started. Build the control center first, and then rest.
You can rest a little longer tomorrow. After we get up, we need to clean up the nearby wild monsters to prevent the control center from being damaged by these wild monsters. "
John smiled and said: "It just so happens that my mana is a little insufficient, so I will meditate for a while. ”
There was no talking all night, and he worked continuously for nearly 20 hours. Not to mention an old man like John, even Xu Lai was a little tired.
He didn’t do anything, he just kept riding. On a horse, riding a horse is not an easy task.
After 12 o'clock, the Moon of Bones, which caused great trouble to all life camps, finally passed.
But we still can’t relax, because the new January is still the month of monsters.
It's just that it's no longer a skeleton, but a swamp creature from the fortress, a bison.
Next month is the Bison Month, the production of bison is doubled and there will be large numbers of bison born in the wild.
The bison is a level 5 creature in the fortress camp. Its most typical characteristics are rough skin, thick flesh, and powerful strength. To a certain extent, bison are similar to the tauren in the underground city. After all, they are both cows.
However, the bison is still affected by morale, but it has an advantage that the tauren does not have, which is bison charge.
The charge of the bison is very powerful. The charge of level 5 can even be compared to the charge of level 6 knight.
Especially after it reaches a large scale, even knights have to stay away.
However, the bison charge also has a very fatal flaw, that is, once the bison charge starts, it is difficult to stop and cannot turn.
To put it bluntly, after the bison charge, they can only rush forward. Even if the hero tells them to stop, they have to wait for a long time.
Moreover, whether the front of the bison is friendly or enemy, as long as the bison charges, it will not distinguish between friend and foe.
As for the shortcoming of difficulty in turning, it is for a small number of bison.
On the real battlefield, there are crowds of people everywhere, and the size of the bison is terrifying. You can dodge as many bison as you can, no matter how much you turn to avoid them.
Besides, if the battlefield is crowded, where will there be so much space for you to hide?
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the bison is a very powerful unit on the battlefield.
In other words, swamp creatures are naturally slow. Even if a bison has four legs, it is considered fast among swamp creatures. Speed and agility are still their shortcomings.
However, although the bison is powerful, it is not feared.
The real headaches are the advanced creatures of the bison, the level 6 wild bull and the level 7 bull king.
Legend has it that the Bull is the mount of the God of Death, and his daily job is to carry countless clones of the God of Death, constantly harvesting souls around the world.
Xu Lai didn't know whether the legend was true or not. Xu Lai only knew that Man Niu and Man Niu King really possessed part of the power of the God of Death.
The Barbarian Bull and the Barbarian Bull King are extremely special types of soldiers.
They have rough skin and thick flesh, making them difficult to kill, but at the same time, their own attack power is not particularly powerful.
But when they attack their opponents, any creature that is stared into by their big bull eyes will undergo a death trial.
Moreover, it is the God of Death who will judge you, not the Barbarian Bull. The Barbarian Bull just glared at you with his own eyes, without any lethality or magic power.
Therefore, the forbidden magic spell is ineffective against the Barbarian Bull, unless the spell can directly prohibit the God of Death.
Correspondingly, not only living creatures must be judged by the God of Death, but also the undead, as long as they have souls, they must be judged by the God of Death.
On the contrary, it is those newly born skeletons that have no consciousness of their own. No matter how hard the bulls stare, they are ineffective.
Moreover, the power of death is beyond this world.
Not to mention the black dragon that is immune to level 1-5 spells, even if the unit is completely immune to magic, it will not be able to circumvent the judgment of death.
Even if the person fighting against the Barbarian Bull is a Holy Dragon, as long as the Holy Dragon does not instantly kill the Barbarian Bull on the spot and give it a chance to attack or glare at you, even if it is as powerful as the Holy Dragon, there is a chance that it will be directly killed. Instant kill.
The most important thing is that in the eyes of Man Niu, the Holy Dragon is no more noble than a level 0 farmer.
If a barbarian cow has to stare at a farmer 100 times to kill a farmer, then if it stares at a holy dragon a hundred times, it will definitely kill a holy dragon.
In other words, the probability of activating the Bull's Death Gaze is only related to the probability of this characteristic itself.
If you are lucky, you can escape. If you are not lucky, no matter how strong your strength is or how high your health is, as long as you cannot resist the power of death, the only way out is to have your soul harvested.
Xu Lai came into contact with this kind of power beyond the world once. The death finger of the Dracolich penetrated even the invincibility of the Holy Light Knight.
He didn't know if the sacred armor could prevent the bull's death gaze. If the death gaze was similar to the finger of death, then it would probably be impossible to defend against.
Furthermore, the body of the unit killed by Death Gaze is intact, but the soul has been taken away by the God of Death.
Therefore, even resurrection spells cannot be revived.
If there is a chance, then the Pope will probably have to perform the resurrection spell himself, because the Pope must also be blessed with power beyond this world.
Only the Pope with the support of the God of War can snatch a person's soul back from the God of Death.
It is precisely because of this special characteristic of ignoring defense, ignoring life, and regardless of level that all creatures are treated equally, making creatures like the Barbarian Bull a true high-level killer.
It is definitely not cost-effective to use high-level troops to fight against the bulls.
Because the Barbarian Bull is only a level 6 creature, its basic output is much higher than that of higher level or even ultimate creatures.
But because of this characteristic, when high-level creatures are used to fight against bulls, the damage rate is far higher than imagined.
So, when Xu Lai learned that this month was the Buffalo Moon, his head hurt very much.
He originally wanted to take a rest early and leave the task of clearing the wild monsters to Elvi and Roland.
On this trip, Xu Lai brought the entire angel and paladin guards with him because he wanted to protect John and clear out the wild monsters as quickly as possible.
Now he is quite regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have brought some shooter troops.
Even if you don’t bring a large force, it would be great to just bring Giselle and the phantom shooter she is training.
One of the biggest shortcomings of Manniu's Death Gaze is that it cannot be released remotely like the Finger of Death.
This bull's eye must stare at you from close range to have a chance of triggering judgment.
The probability is not high, it is better than just a chance.
And when the number of bulls increases, the probability of one bull is not high, but what about ten? With one hundred heads, do we have to take away a few high-level creatures?
Compared with the level 6 bull, it is the level 7 bull king. Its attributes seem to have been improved, becoming fleshier and with higher health points.
But the threat of the Man Bull King is not as high as that of the Man Bull.
It's very simple. The Barbarian Bull King does not increase the chance of death gaze. On the contrary, due to the improvement of attributes and levels, the number of Barbarian Bull Kings cannot be compared with that of Barbarian Bulls.
For a trait like Death Gaze, which depends on probability, quantity is always the most critical attribute.
Unfortunately, the present tense had just been born, Xu Lai immediately commanded the two of them, leaving a team of paladins to guard the tent.
Xu Lai, Elvi and Roland each led their own teams and cleared out all the bison around them as quickly as possible.
The newly born bison herd has not yet reached a large scale in number.
As long as the bison herd does not reach a large scale, there will definitely not be many wild cattle born.
As long as Xu Lai seizes the time to clean up, he can clean up the surroundings before they merge with each other and form a larger bison herd with a larger base.
As long as there are no wild monsters nearby and the control center is safe, the more bison gathered elsewhere and the more bison born, it would be a good thing for Xu Lai.
This means that when Moriel comes to this area, she cannot avoid these bulls.
