Chapter 598: Fire Salamander
Chapter 598: Fire Salamander
"Why bother?"
Liu Sheng didn't continue pursuing and killing Little Tao, but instead calmly let out a long sigh. In the next second, a Skeletal Terrestrial Dragon had already crawled out from the Lava. Standing on its back was a black-robed person identical to Liu Sheng, who impartially pocketed that Dragon Egg.
And at this moment, the dark Curses on Old Jia, Old Qiao, and Li Wei's bodies only then slowly disappeared.
As for Little Tao, she had already fled without a trace.
"Liu Sheng, what is your meaning! If you wanted the Dragon Egg, just trade for it. Doing it like this, do you truly think we don't dare to engage in Mutual Destruction? Not to mention this is the territory of the Neutral City, and you have already accepted an Occupation Mission. If you give up and fail due to your own reasons, your credit score in the Neutral City will also be swept completely empty."
Old Jia shouted angrily, but also basically maintained restraint.
Mainly it was because the upper hand had already been seized by this Liu Sheng. He didn't even know when he was cursed by the other party. Worthy of being a Curse Warlock.
"Old Jia, stay calm and don't be impatient. Old Qiao, Thomas, you guys also shouldn't worry excessively. The situation just now, I was also forced to do it as a last resort; it was Little Tao who violated the rules first. Rest assured, the Curses I placed on you are all one-off. As long as they are activated once, they naturally become invalid. As you said, I came to the Neutral City not to kill people and establish might, but for Source Ore. It's not worth it for me to make an awful row over a Dragon Egg."
"How about this, Old Jia: this Dragon Egg indeed exceeded my expectations. I will give you all the Source Fire Crystals I just obtained, and additionally give you two hundred thousand Nightmare Gold Coins. This shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Liu Sheng spoke very calmly. Old Jia hesitated a bit, but ultimately still nodded. That's right, although he was very unwilling, this Dragon Egg was indeed very troublesome for him. Furthermore, Source Ore was the most important; he couldn't mess up his formation.As the two reached an agreement, Liu Sheng again posted a random Miner task to fill Little Tao's position.
Next, everyone entered a waiting state.
Li Wei sat to the side by himself, looking cautious. These guys were truly valiant and vigorous; attacking whenever they wanted, this style of doing things was truly very fierce ah.
However, his gains this time were truly not bad.
Through absorbing those Exotic Cold Energies, Adai seemed to have deepened his understanding of Ice Magic a step further. This was a blank space; perhaps after supplementing it, it could make the Sequence 5 Ice Magic he mastered become even stronger. And he also possessed the possibility of continuing to advance, or at least being able to release a portion of Sequence Six Ice Magic. That way, it was equivalent to Li Wei being able to release Sequence Four Frost Bolts.
Right, Frost Bolts weren't some profound Ice Magic. It was very simple and very common; placed on any Mage, it was a minor path. But for Li Wei, for a Legendary Ranger, this was practically a 1+1=3 effect.
So what he needed most right now was time.
To wait for Adai To Develop.
As for the Curse Liu Sheng had just released, that was a slowing Curse, able to halve his movement speed for the next 60 seconds. Yes, it was indeed one-off, but if a battle occurred, that would be very terrible.
Of course, because Li Wei himself possessed 85% All-Element Magic Immunity, even if this was a Curse, it could still be weakened to an extremely minute degree.
Next, he only needed to rapidly Shapeshift into a Blood Plague Rat to completely erase this Curse. Following that, Shapeshifting into a human, he could re-enter combat state, the whole process taking no more than a second.
So he wasn't anxious, nor worried. In a word, he was also counting on these few people to help him out and gather some Source Ore.
Thus, like this another dozen or so hours passed. Liu Sheng had already completed the construction of the Covenant Fortress and Blood Bone Tower. As for what the purposes and principles of these two were, Li Wei didn't quite understand, but it was indeed very magical. For example, from within that Blood Bone Tower, skeletal Archers, skeletal Spearmen, and skeletal Shieldmen could unexpectedly be continuously generated.
These skeletal soldiers rapidly occupied positions in the Covenant Fortress. In less than a moment's time, a skeletal Legion of five hundred troops was formed.
And the strength of these skeletal soldiers, after being buffed by the Covenant Fortress, and again under some secret technique of Liu Sheng's, ultimately reached Third-Circle, which could be considered very strong.
Five hundred Third-Circle, and with the Covenant Fortress present, Liu Sheng himself sitting within the Blood Bone Tower, had already firmly secured an invincible position.
"It seems Little Tao is still hiding here, so the Neutral City defaults to us not missing anyone; wanting to recruit a new random Miner is already inadvisable. But no matter, my Covenant Fortress and Blood Bone Tower have already been built. We can now set out to hunt the large Primal Chaos Beasts here."
Liu Sheng shouted loudly. The Warlock Staff in his hand emitted a bizarre dark glow. With twelve built-in Curse spells, he was currently terrifyingly powerful.
"Old rules. Old Qiao, you go draw the monsters; Thomas, go support him. Pull the Primal Chaos Beasts here before dealing with them."
At this time, Storm Knight Old Qiao took a glance at Li Wei, then summoned his Six-Star Warhorse, released his storm Domain, and charged out.
As for Li Wei, he lagged behind a line, following a thousand meters behind Storm Old Qiao using Gale Step.
With Gale Step now, he could even walk on the Lava as if walking on flat ground.
Very quickly, Storm Old Qiao made a huge commotion like before, instantly drawing out a massive amount of Fire Loaches. Therefore, he immediately turned his head and pulled them back, while Li Wei took the opportunity to kill the Fire Loaches with Frost Bolts.
With the previous Experience, Li Wei was even more proficient this time. No, it was that the Frost Bolts he released were clearly a notch above the previous ones: faster, stronger, and more enduring in the current scorching environment.
Previously, the Frost Bolts Li Wei shot could at most hit a target five hundred meters away, before already cracking and melting. Now, they could easily reach around eight hundred meters.
It was still Sequence Three Frost Bolts, but the quality and power had increased by at least 80%; this was very comfortable.
Old Qiao drew the monsters, Li Wei unleashed volleys of arrows. No matter how these Fire Loaches jumped about, they couldn't avoid the fate of being shot and exploded by an arrow.
In less than two minutes from start to finish, the field was successfully cleared.
At this time, Old Qiao's gaze as he looked over was incomparably surprised.
And Li Wei was also extremely happy. Although he didn't understand the principle, who cared?
However, after all the Fire Loaches were eliminated, a larger Primal Chaos Beast finally felt the threat. This thing wouldn't easily leave the Primal Ore Vein, but when it felt danger, it would also absolutely become incomparably ferocious.
"Old Qiao! Go!"
Li Wei felt the crisis at the first instance. At the same time as he roared loudly, he didn't even have time to release Gale Step, directly Shapeshifting into a Sky Eagle, and soaring into the sky!
And almost at the same time, the entire Mountain Belly's Lava seemed to undergo a large-scale, large-yield comprehensive eruption.
Countless amounts of scorching Lava surged up with a boom, directly rushing up several thousand meters, completely stuffing the entire Mountain Belly space to the brim.
In an instant, Storm Old Qiao was nowhere to be found, completely submerged and devoured by the massive Lava tide.
Including the Sky Eagle that Li Wei had Shapeshifted into, it was solidly smashed against the rock wall. Fortunately, he escaped fast enough and high enough; at the instant he smashed onto the rock wall, Gale Step flashed, directly rushing into a crevice in the rock wall. Only then did he avoid this disaster.
"Rumble"
The Lava fell, but everything had only just begun. A Fire Salamander at least several hundred meters long rushed out of the Lava, smashing headfirst onto Liu Sheng's Covenant Fortress.
If this smashed solidly, the consequences would be hard to predict.
However, Liu Sheng immediately summoned his Skeletal Terrestrial Dragon to block a bit. Although his Skeletal Terrestrial Dragon was directly scrapped in the next second, it also slightly alleviated the momentum of the impact.
And as a Fifth-Tier Epic Warrior, Old Jia's highlight moment had also arrived. First was a charge, holding his shield from the flank like a cannonball, crashing onto the joint of one of this Fire Salamander's left legs, forcefully breaking it with a single strike. Subsequently, with a sliding tackle, he dashed to the direct front of the Fire Salamander. The large shield in his hand glowed violently at this moment, and behind him unexpectedly emerged an Illusion of a Titan Giant.
He forcefully caught and blocked this fatal collision from the Fire Salamander.
And right at this moment, Liu Sheng roared, bizarre and obscure syllables emitting from his mouth. Violent winds fluttered, ghostly aura loomed; his originally normal body unexpectedly turned into a set of white bones at this moment, with only a ball of light in his eyes.
But his Ultimate Move had already successfully condensed. A green light was like tearing open a spatial barrier, injecting into the Fire Salamander's body like a flood bursting a dam.
In a split second, the Fire Salamander turned into a green-haired salamander.
It seemed to be in extreme pain, wailing as it rolled and fell into the Lava.
"This beast's strength has already been weakened by a third by me. If you don't strike now, when will you? Little Tao, if you still want Source Ore, I suggest you strike immediately; I can let bygones be bygones!"
Liu Sheng shouted loudly at this time.
Because at this time, Old Jia had already used his Ultimate Move. His whole person was currently panting like a bull, half-kneeling while holding his shield. Not to mention he wasn't suited for pursuit combat either; was he supposed to jump into the Lava to take a bath?
Only Professions like Storm Old Qiao, Li Wei, and Little Tao could walk on Lava as if walking on flat ground.
But Little Tao made no movement, and Storm Old Qiao was nowhere to be found. Instead, Li Wei rushed out from the rock wall crevice, releasing his Ice Ultimate Move towards the Fire Salamander, because ordinary Frost Bolts were ineffective against it.
In a split second, a large area of Lava was frozen solid, and even the Fire Salamander was temporarily frozen for a few seconds. This was an excellent opportunity.
This originally should have been the moment for the Thief Little Tao to rapidly output damage, but she still didn't appear. Fortunately, Storm Old Qiao, who had preserved his life using unknown means, rushed out from the Lava. Holding a Spear, radiating brilliant light, his crotch's Six-Star Warhorse was like a divine dragon, swift like a shooting star. From a thousand meters away, directly using an Ultimate Move to pierce with one thrust, he unexpectedly blasted a bloody hole with a diameter of ten meters in the Fire Salamander's head.
Moreover, it was penetrative.
Too strong.
Insta-kill with one strike!
Fifth-tier Epic, truly wasn't To Joke.
This damage overflow caused even Li Wei's back to run cold upon seeing it.
This was true Fifth-tier elegance. Of course, the price must have been huge; just in that instant, Storm Old Qiao had consumed at least 30 Origin Particles.
But right at this time, a ghostly, smoke-like shadow suddenly emerged behind Old Qiao. Taking advantage of his Ultimate Move having just been unleashed, right when he was weak, it was about to launch a series of Ultimate Moves against him.
There was not a single omen; including Liu Sheng, Old Jia, and even Old Qiao, none were able to perceive it in advance.
This was the capability of a Rank 5 Thief.
But excluding Li Wei.
He had been paying high attention all along, and guarding against this uncertainty.
Although he also couldn't figure out why Little Tao wanted to prioritize killing Old Qiao; shouldn't she first kill Liu Sheng?
This wasn't right. So at this instant, Li Wei directly swapped to the Seven-Star Holy Ranger Bow. At the same time as his entire Destiny Grid erupted, his Legendary Innate Talent opened, and his Perception directly skyrocketed to 55 points.
Even if it meant exposing his identity, he had to suppress this uncertainty. What if Little Tao and Liu Sheng were in cahoots!
In an instant, three Origin Arrows locked onto the Thief Little Tao.
She only had time to turn her head and take a terrified glance, before her entire body erupted with a flash of light. That was the scene of the Magic Crest and other life-preserving methods on her body being blasted apart.
And then, there was no then; she was directly insta-killed!
Even if Li Wei was over a kilometer away from her, even if she was a Fifth-tier Epic, but since the initiative had been seized from her, Origin Arrows could insta-kill her!
No one could be an exception!
