Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 853 The First Battle in the Underground World

The underground world of Toril, except for the war started by the dark elves, probably has never been so lively.

The roar of people was mixed with loud laughter and the neighing of various mounts.

Undead people can certainly ride horses through a passage that allows a great ancient dragon to pass easily... So they won't feel dissatisfied because the road is too long. After all, most people can take advantage of this opportunity to do other things... such as Play mahjong and chess on their tablets.

Those reporters were happily counting what small games everyone was playing. Hill was not interested in this kind of spring outing-like atmosphere, but the goblins watched intently, regretting that he was not in that team.

But they also knew that there was no place for goblins in the underground world. If something happened to leave them behind when the undead were fighting, they probably wouldn't be able to cry.

So they were just chattering about what kind of traps would be suitable for this road, and even the Pickle, who is best at making people get lost, couldn't help but join the topic.

Hill recruited a book he hadn't read before and read it slowly. Although the Harbell family sent them all the high-end products produced by Candlekeep, it happened that the large library of Candlekeep had temporarily cut off the connection with Faerun. Hill suspects that this has something to do with the various ghost guards hiding under them.

When the mage master has the absolute upper hand, the necromancer has always been very useful... but once the power of the mage declines, the necromantic rebellion is the norm.

Candlekeep has been able to stand on the continent of Faerun for so many years because those scroll mages will promptly hand over the control to the next archmage when their mana is slowly declining... But in this situation, no one can take over class.

Candlekeep is now focusing all its energy on suppressing its subordinates, so of course it doesn't plan to open the door to welcome guests.The only good thing is that the neighbor next door has become an elf.

Otherwise, they might have to receive a visit from pirates from the Moonshaes.

During this period of time, it was indeed like a nightmare for a pure magic net mage... It was not only difficult but also dangerous to explore the characteristics of the magic net again.

I don't know where I made a mistake, and I may be headshot directly by the primordial force gushing out.

Hill decided to read these books carefully before copying them with scribes... He didn't want Fran to find out that Hill still didn't know the contents after reading the tens of thousands of books in his study... The dissatisfied alchemist The master might ask Hill to copy all the books.

According to the tradition of the undead... the [-] families with the highest merits took turns sending people to be the front of the car. When Hill occasionally looked up, he saw a bald loli with a black rose... He likes to wear a little black dress, In order to be a qualified car front, I specially wore a bright red tutu skirt this time.

Knowing that there was a big bald man underneath that cute little loli, Hill immediately lowered his head and continued reading.

The white dragon is not a very patient creature, so the underground passage that made Arauzato willing to go down and rob it did not grow to the point where the undead could not bear it... When someone leads the way at the front, the person who follows is still able to endure such a few hours.

"Ahhh! I see the enemy!" The goblins shouted in surprise, causing Hill to raise his head again.

The first wave of enemies in the underground world that the undead come into contact with is the ground stinger.

There used to be some underground races who were good at digging holes, but because of the appearance of the white dragon, they had to move. These long and complicated tunnels were finally occupied by ground thorns that could not see the edge... Hill knew for the first time , Hissing and tweeting, these two low-pitched voices can be unbearably noisy... It can be seen how many of these bugs there are.

The undead were quite happy, even some bugs were better than nothing, so they quickly blew the loud horn to wake up those addicted to small games.

Hill suspects that the young master created this horn-blowing team... Ordinary people don't come up with so many kinds of brass and trumpets, and even Suona is just one of them.

He must have considered the echo problem of the underground world before he started this team...at least the ground thorns were too scared to scream...until the undead in the front row put away their horses and took out their large shields and took their positions. It was only then that they assembled and charged again.

Although the defense measures of the undead were fairly safe, at least the first batch of poisonous stingers were blocked by their defensive knights... But they ignored that this kind of bug is very good at underground attacks.

So there was a roar from the team behind: "There are bugs in the ground!"

"Open the shield! Sand sculpture!"

"Where are the idiots attacking in groups?"

Although the chaos was quickly calmed down by the team leader in the crowd, a group of undead were sent back to the hidden town, and they could only climb the mountain again... Although the ground stingers rushed into the crowd, their The damage really doesn't necessarily kill anyone. These poor guys were all sent back by those guys who released group attack spells.

Especially in terms of their position, the people who did this kind of thing had to be members of their own family, so these guys could only curse and set off again.

It was the people at the front, although the battle they were facing was more dangerous, but they were also more organized. They were analyzing what skills these giant beetles had.

Acid splash and stinger attacks are by far the most common...these bugs also have strong claws and tend to attack in small groups.

The undead soon discovered that once the biggest one was killed, the smaller ones would die, but their strength would be much lower, so they had already started roaring and killed the big ones first.

At least without the power bonus, these small beetles can basically be killed by the shield's reflection attack... Knights who don't trust most mages' aiming, hope they hit bigger targets.

This was a fierce encounter... Hill even found the figure of the king of the thorn swarm, this huge and ferocious beetle, even if Arauzato came down, he would definitely have a headache.

And as long as the king of the swarm is still standing there, the ground thorns will fight to the death... Hill closed the book in his hand and carefully watched the battle situation.

What ground thorns are most afraid of is a large number of corpses of the same kind... Once the death exceeds their tolerance, they will quickly retreat and move.

But the king of the swarm who was watching the battle in front of him had neither the intention to join the battle nor the desire to retreat... In such a short time, the undead had killed at least tens of thousands of insects.

And the undead are still trying to push forward to a wider crypt, so that the people behind can also have a chance to join the battle... This kind of bug is a mix of mortal reptiles and hell blood by tiefling wizards It is not a creature without IQ at all, it is impossible for them not to observe the undead in the brigade behind.

Well, at least according to the prediction of the king of the swarm, it has a chance to consume so much meat... Even if tens of millions of worms die, as long as all the corpses of these elves can be left behind, they will definitely be able to breed more. More and more powerful bugs.

Hill thinks that the undead may be facing the first swarm with a population of over 18 million and has evolved. According to Hill's observation, the king of the swarm is at least level 10... You must know the initial level of this thing Usually only level [-].

The team of undead was still pushing forward steadily, Hill held hands nervously, he was a little uneasy.

Even if they knew the result of their death, it would be nothing more than running the road for a few hours again, or giving up the battle rewards and waiting for the first underground camp to be established... But this kind of large group war is easy to make people excited.

The goblins also watched with bated breath, not even daring to speak.

After the undead had killed tens of thousands more bugs, and the defensive knights in the first three rows had even occupied the middle of the crypt, the king of the swarm couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his head and gave two loud 'chirps', He jumped up high and smashed towards the knights.

The defensive knight desperately raised his shield: "@#! Such a strong effort!"

"Make it up! Make it up!"

"Can't squat, can't squat! Where's the dwarf! Come to the bottom and get on the top!"

The chaos ahead distracted the remote occupations behind. They tried to target the huge bug, and worried that they would become enemies, so they all pushed forward.

The ground under their feet suddenly exploded at this moment, and twisted and weird figures rushed out one after another, rushing towards the chaotic crowd.

"Ahhhh! It's strange to enter the crowd!"

"I @! Toxic!"

"Detoxification! Water method! Wood method, quickly detoxify!"

"Pastor! Add blood!"

"Shit! No wonder the pastor has hands!"

"Hurry up! What nonsense!"

"It's so fast!"

Hill sighed softly and leaned back on the sofa.

Ground thorns have always only killed living creatures, so where they appear, there are very few living things... but there may be undead creatures.

With such a huge swarm of insects, Hill already suspected that it might be controlled by some intelligent undead. Although the method of controlling ground thorns disappeared with the demise of the Tiefling Empire...but it is not completely immune to it. found again.

No wonder that even though so many bugs died, the king of the swarm still stood at the end... In its eyes, the struggle of the undead was more like death, so it stood firmly at the end.

But if their trump card is the wight, there is nothing to worry about... Any humanoid creature killed by the wight will become another wight after 5 minutes. This derivative has no powers in life, but will Controlled by the wight that created it until destroyed.

Such a surprise attack would be disaster for any army of Toril, but the undead... they are not flesh and blood.

The only thing that will be affected is that the negative effect created by the corpse monster is relatively large, that is, the bleeding state of the undead now... But the undead have a large number of detoxification professions... It doesn't matter even if these disabled people target the wrong person, there will always be Individuals are rescued.

　Pickets wear shiny clothing, often including curly-tipped hats and shoes, and like to disorient passers-by.

Picklings stand about 2 feet tall, weigh about 27 pounds, and speak Sylvan and Common, and may understand other languages ​​as well.

These normally carefree pixies attack vicious creatures and unwelcome intruders with great ferocity.They use their invisibility and other abilities to mobilize and drive away enemies.

Superior Invisibility: Pixie can remain invisible even when attacking.This ability is always in effect, but the pixie can activate or dispel the effect as a free action.
