Chapter 63: Hell Warcraft (Part 2)
More than a dozen spikes shot out by the black monster actually broke through the magic shields and shot into the bodies of six monsters. Salin could not tell how it broke through the magic shield in the alchemy telescope, and probably had similar abilities to the demon hunting spider. However, those spikes did not cause much damage to the monsters besieged it. One of the monsters roared angrily, opened his mouth, and spit out a huge fireball.
The fireball hit the black monster's head, burning its upper half into charcoal.
"It's a level 4 monster." Salin looked and said to his companions who built the camp behind him. The fireball ignored the ability of low-level magic resistance and directly killed the black monster. It was definitely not something that could be released by a level 3 monster below the level 3.
Unlike humans, they can only use the corresponding level of magical abilities at any level. That is to say, they will not control the consumption of energy. Therefore, humans can rely on weapons and skills to hunt them, and consume the power of the monsters through constant harassment. Even swordsmen may kill monsters above level 4 as long as you run faster than it.
The leader of the monster saw that most of the prey was burned, and rushed over angrily and used his front paw to slap the troubled monster away. The dead black monster was not big in size, and after half of it was burned, there was even less food. The leader of the monster bared his teeth viciously, and the monster that was slapped by it flew dozens of meters away in the air and hit a big tree.
The tree shook violently, and the bark was cracked and spewed out black juice. The monster fell to the ground, turned over and got up, bared its teeth, and roared in a low voice, but did not dare to go up and find trouble for the leader.
Rex and others continued to assemble the camp equipment. This time Rex did not dare to let everyone live in a tent, but began to build a barracks. She built the main general's barracks, and even the roof was covered with metal. She was not afraid of the fourth-level monster, but if there were too many, there would be casualties around her.
Since there are giant mosquitoes in the Divine Punishment Hell, there are also more terrifying flying monsters. There are similar insect-like monsters in the Meers Continent, which are never the top of the food chain. A large number of giant mosquitoes will feed even more terrifying insect-like monsters. Giant mosquitoes are just creatures that are equivalent to level one, so they force themselves to use magic scrolls.
It is so empty and close to the forest, and there are so many insects and animals. Without building a closed camp, everyone will not even sleep peacefully.
Salin observed patiently that the leopard-shaped monster was of high rank. The leader opened his mouth and bit off half of the prey that was not burnt, swallowed quickly. The other six monsters surrounded the side and did not go up to compete.
There are also magic leopards on the Meers continent, but they are lonely creatures. These monsters are more like demon wolves on the grassland, moving in groups and orderly. However, magic wolves live on the grassland, and this kind of creature that moves in the forest is obviously more dangerous.
"Sarin, don't worry." Rex comforted him when he heard Salin's breathing was a little rapid, "I have enough scrolls on my hand. When the camp is built, we will not be in too high danger as long as the level 8 monster does not appear."
Salin's breathing calmed down. After the leader of the monster had eaten his prey, he inadvertently looked at Rex's camp. In those purple-red eyes, Salin saw hunger and cruelty. The monster discovered the camp, and it was definitely not a chance to look here. Salin's perception of danger was extremely keen. He watched the monsters retreat back to the forest, and had the idea of going back.
According to the knowledge of the Meers Continent, there will be no advanced monsters on the edge of the forest. It is close to the volcanic area, so prey will be relatively scarce. However, creatures similar to demon wolves have appeared, and the knowledge of the Meers Continent may not be universal here.
When you go back, you may encounter a volcano erupting again. Keep moving forward. It is already an endless forest. There will be countless dangers in the forest. But it is not realistic to stop here. It is sandwiched between the volcanic area and the forest. If the volcano moves northward, there will still be danger here, and the monster may not be staying honestly in the forest. The monster just now may come back and find it.
"Rex, I think the Warcraft has discovered us." Salin said dryly.
"I know." Rex began to set up magic traps outside the camp. The two sword masters, Neris and Shika were all very powerful. The barracks that originally required more than a dozen people to build quickly formed in the hands of four people.
Wind blows through the forest. After the volcano erupts, the air of the God-Punishment Hell flows frequently. In the dark sky, clouds as thick as ink are gathering.
Boom! Gala!
A lightning flashed down and disappeared into the forest in the distance. Then thunder came, and Salin almost threw the alchemy telescope to the ground. If he were an ordinary person, he would not be frightened by the thunder, but he was a magician and had rich knowledge.
Without the sun, how can there be lightning? The book says that the formation of lightning is caused by the clouds absorbing the energy of the sun. Is it wrong in the magic book? There is no sun in this half plane, just now...
Boom! Click...
The huge thunder made the earth tremble, and the sound was like the sky was cracking. Salin looked at the forest blankly, and his heart was changed drastically. What the book said may not be correct.
Without the sun, there are still plants that can directly absorb the power of elements to survive in this semi-plane, and powerful monsters are still active. Volcanoes provide rich heat and can form clouds and rain. Thunder and lightning naturally do not exist because of the sun.
Magicians can fly, but few magicians dare to go deep into the clouds to study. The naturally formed lightning is too terrifying. Even a level nine magician cannot withstand a blow of lightning.
A yu hope arose in Salin's heart. He suddenly wanted to master the true secret of thunder and lightning. If he became a magician in the future, he must find a way to go to the cloud to see how thunder and lightning were formed. Clouds are condensed by water vapor. If he could master the secret of thunder and lightning, he could control this power.
Even if the power of lightning is reduced by tens of millions of times, it is still a powerful magic.
As the rainstorm came, Salin did not hide in the barracks. Since he obtained the special magic string, both the water elements and the water in nature felt close to Salin. Salin didn't even have to use the magic of underwater breathing, so he could move freely in the water like a fish.
The thunder continued, and Salin stood in the rain, feeling the water elements that suddenly became rich in the hell of divine punishment. Gradually, Salin felt that his body formed a wonderful sense of the heavy rain in nature, just as if he was standing in the mist of confusion, feeling that he was infinitely amplified and could almost penetrate several miles into the forest.
Salin explored the perception into the clouds. Before reaching a height of two miles, an unknown violent energy attacked, directly defeating Salin's perception. Salin was covered in cold sweat. This energy was extremely huge, but it was not concentrated, nor was it perceived by himself. If this energy landed on the ground, it could easily smooth out the camp built by Rex.
No magic shield, scroll or magic array could withstand the attack of this energy. It seemed like a giant hammer in the sky, and the six of them were like a palace dessert, sweet and crispy.
Salin calmed down, his yu hope was not extinguished, but he knew that if there was no suitable way to ensure safety, it would be a joke to obtain the secret of thunder and lightning. The violent energy could no longer be resisted outside the clouds, and going deep into the clouds was probably something that God could do. I wonder if Joey could do it, at least Salin had temporarily dispelled this idea.
He turned around and looked at the barracks behind him, remembering the Ring of Shenra in Rex's hand. The Ring of Shenra can withstand the power of divine punishment. I wonder if it can withstand thunder and lightning. If possible, can Rex take him to the clouds for a walk?
Salin didn't follow Jason for long, but was most influenced by Jason. His pursuit of magic may not be crazy, but his firmness is the same as his teacher and he will never give up.
One out of a hundred people can become a magician, which seems to be a lot, but how many people will give up everything and pursue magic? When a magician practices, he must live apart from the crowd, and his demand for gold coins exceeds that of aristocrats. In the practice of magic, he will encounter many dangers.
Many magicians are confused and struggle in the world, for money and power. How many people can eventually become magicians?
There are always only a few who are truly successful. Some people give up during the apprenticeship stage, study swords, pharmacy, art, and even manage accounts. The worst thing is to become thieves. Low-level mages will join the mercenary group and are eager to obtain money to satisfy their desire for learning. Even great magicians have to prepare for building magic towers. Some have received funding from nobles and cannot choose the location of the magic tower, so they can only become noble mages.
Only people like Jason and Rex who have huge wealth can rush on the road of magic. This wealth refers not only to gold coins, but also to a lot of knowledge.
If a poor boy like Salin hadn't met Jason, even if he had the opportunity to learn magic, he would probably be just an apprentice and would still be working for a magician for free.
It took more than two hours of heavy rain before the clouds gradually dissipated. Salin felt that he was in a much better mood, no longer so ups and downs and difficult to control. Without rain, his perception could not expand like he had just happened and retracted back to the normal range. His mage robe was still dry and no drop of rain seeped in. The temperature of the air, which seemed hot because of the volcanic eruption, dropped, and the refreshing wind blew, was extremely comfortable.
Salin raised his alchemy telescope and subconsciously observed the forest in the distance. The forest after the rain seemed to be a huge monster, absorbing the power of water elements, as if it would expand to an amazing level at any time.
A monster appeared in Salin's vision. Its eyes looked at the camp located in the highlands, cold and cruel.
