I am the Scourge

Chapter 175 Abyss Magic Well
The cloudy sky was pierced by this bright electric light, revealing the bright and scarlet full moon above the dome.

Golden light blooms.

The city building order in Li Wei's hand immediately turned into a brilliance flowing like water, falling on the Platinum Palace, dyeing this magnificent palace with a layer of dazzling gold, and then spreading to the entire territory.

"Ow!"

"Roar!"

"tease!"

"..."

Countless undead in the territory stopped what they were doing and howled to the sky.

Boom...!
The ground began to tremble slightly.

An indescribable special atmosphere spread from the ground of the territory, and soon enveloped the entire area.

"Reminder: Your territory—Soul Soil is being promoted to a first-level cemetery. Special power fluctuations will cause monsters in the nearby area to riot. Please be prepared!"

The prompt sounds.

A translucent message box immediately appeared in front of Li Wei.

[Monster siege countdown: 14:59]

[This time is wave 1/6]

A total of six waves of monsters attacked the city.

The strength of the monsters that attack the city will increase every time, but the upper limit of the monster's level is only one step higher than the territory level.

In other words.

The strongest enemy is only at the fifth level.

A large number of Tier [-] units will still bring some pressure to Li Wei's troops, but he has explored beforehand, and there are not many high-level monsters in the area near the soul soil, and the resources in this area are very poor.

But this blood moon tide has caused some low-level monsters to grow rapidly, but it is only limited to the third and fourth tiers.

Only the Sea of ​​Storms.

It is an unknown territory that neither humans nor undead can explore so far, and it is not surprising how powerful monsters will appear.

The premise is.

Those ferocious sea beasts can leave the sea.

Outside the territory, an army of tens of thousands of undead has assembled into a tight formation. The outermost part is a fully armed skeleton shield brave, holding huge black shields one after another, forming a towering shield wall.

And every three skeleton shields are interspersed with a strong shield guard, and the light gray light spreads on them, connecting the surrounding skeleton shields, making them look like a whole.

Guard the fetters.

This is the defensive skill of the Strong Shield Guard, which can replace the damage suffered by the fettered target. The HP of the Strong Shield Guard is twice as high as that of the Skeleton Shield, which can effectively reduce the casualties of the Skeleton Shield.

And behind this tight defense array are teams of undead witch doctors who are good at healing.

Afterwards, the archers and mages each formed a phalanx, interspersed in the center of the defense array. The attack range of the shadow mages was limited, and their main purpose was to defend against possible flying units.

Early game.

Especially in large-scale wars, the status of legal units is actually very embarrassing.

The attack distance of 30 meters is almost less than one-third of that of an archer of the same level.And their fragile physique cannot guarantee their survivability, often a wave of cavalry charges will be taken away directly.

This makes it difficult for them to have a safe output space.

Only in the middle and late stages.

After learning the output-type magic with a large range such as Meteorite Art, or having a deeper understanding of magic, and no longer limited by short hands, the light of legal units will gradually bloom.

of course.

The battlefield dominance of French units is undisputed.

Once it has an output space, it often only takes a few rounds of magic to drop it to end the war.Therefore, no matter in any battle situation, both sides will give priority to limiting the output of the enemy's mage.

Soul soil did not build too many fortifications, such as arrow towers and magic towers.

Due to the special terrain, there are no powerful enemies on three sides.

And the only direction where foreign enemies would invade was Leiyun Fort, a well-fortified battle fortress, supported by a steady stream of soldiers from Soul Soil, basically no one at the same level could break it.

Li Wei didn't waste too many resources in this regard.

Soul Soil is a pure base of explosive troops. Various recruitment buildings are intensively built. It only takes one day to cultivate about [-] well-trained Tier [-] combat units.

Combined with the effect of the secret realm of the abyss, within two days, a fully armed Tier [-] troop can be created for Li Wei.

Such an exaggerated efficiency is beyond the imagination of other players.

If it weren't for the limitations of the environment and the population of the territory, Li Wei's fourth-tier troops could easily exceed [-] after the end of the blood moon tide.

There is no need to consider daily consumption and military expenses.

This is the biggest advantage of the undead race over other races in their development.

Thinking room.

The first wave of monster siege has arrived.

There is no tide of monsters from Wuyang Wuyang, just a group of hungry ghouls flocking to the west of the territory.After the increase of the blood moon tide, this group of ghouls has reached the fourth level, and a leader unit was born.

However, a wave of monsters of this scale obviously cannot pose any threat to the defenders of Soul Soil.

really.

The situation is not as expected by Li Wei.

The difficulty of monster siege is determined by the surrounding environment of the territory.

When players choose a territory at the beginning, they often choose some monster-intensive areas.

The density of monster distribution determines the abundance of resources.

In this way, on the one hand, it can ensure the acquisition of resources in the early stage and ensure that the territory has enough room for development.

And in the middle and late stages, the level of mercenaries will not be delayed due to the scarcity of monsters around them.

But Li Wei had no choice at the beginning, only this barren tomb. Fortunately, later, by chance, he got the blueprint of the abyss secret realm, which can be called a wave of life-defying changes.

The monster siege is weak.

It's a good thing.

However, in a sense, it is also a fly in the ointment.

Monster siege is both a test and an opportunity. The system will accelerate the spawning speed of monsters within the affected area. If you have the ability to completely eat the monster tide, it will bring you rich resources and experience benefits.

With Li Wei's military strength, he can completely resist the most difficult monster attacking the city, so it has to be said that it is a pity.

Whoosh whoosh!
Feather and arrow leave the string.

The black rain of arrows flew towards the incoming tide of ghouls like a curtain of sky. In an instant, one piece was brought down, and after another two waves of salvos, the entire army was wiped out before they rushed to the front. .

Afterwards, the dense array spread out several paths, and teams of low-level necromancers and corpse guards rushed out and began to clean up the battlefield.

In a blink of an eye.

The first wave of the ghoul army was left with nothing but residue.

"Reminder: The second wave of monster siege is coming!"

The system prompt sounds.

There is a 15-minute rest interval after each siege, but in Li Wei's view at this time, it would be better to end the wave to save trouble.

second wave.

The third wave.

……

Waves of monsters came and were wiped out one after another.

Because no high-level monsters could be found around Soul Soil, and the black apes and giant snakes suppressed underground exceeded the level limit, this time the monsters attacked the city, more like the system was perfunctory, and it was coming to an end soon.

"Ding!"

"Reminder: The monster siege is over!"

"Reminder: Territory promotion is complete, and your territory—Soul Soil has officially been promoted to a first-class cemetery!"

"Reminder: Tier [-] basic building category has been unlocked!"

"Reminder: Congratulations on becoming the first lord in this area to be promoted to a fourth-level territory, and you will be rewarded with a perfect-level architectural blueprint!"

"Announcement: Congratulations to player Shepherd..."

"..."

The following announcement can be ignored. Li Wei is the only player in Netherworld, and the announcement is only for him to read. However, I didn't expect that the reward for No.1's promotion to the fourth-level territory was actually a perfect-level architectural blueprint.

Levi looked at the backpack.

I saw a black and gold blueprint laying inside.

[The Well of the Abyss (drawing)]

【architecture】

[Level: Perfect]

【Score: 148】

[Explanation: A magic well connected to the abyss, in which the abyss energy will continue to gather, and when the energy reaches its peak, there will be a certain chance to give birth to powerful individuals from the abyss]

……

This is... a recruiting building?
Li Wei looked and looked.

The abyss is a place where demons are sealed. Based on the information given in the blueprint, it is undoubtedly more like a special building for recruiting demons.

But can recruiting buildings reach the perfect level?
Not impossible.

It's just that the probability of obtaining blueprints of this level in the early stage is too low.

You must know that special units like Theodora and Beunia can be recruited just by the rare recruiting building, and a perfect building with a close to full score may not be able to directly recruit hero units! ?
and.

If it is a recruiting type of building, its description is too vague.

Judging from this situation, the demon individual born in the well of the abyss is very likely to be an uncontrollable existence...

Well, that's not what it does.

but the price.

Its main effect should be reflected in the description of the first two sentences.

Gather the energy of the abyss.

Could it be... this is an energy gathering device?
Li Wei saw the clue.

The energy of the abyss, also known as the power of demons, is assimilative and will infect all non-demon individuals, making them demonic. Usually, demonized monsters will lose part of their sanity and become more aggressive.

The power of demons is basically regarded as a symbol of disaster in the world.

But get to the bottom of it.

The energy of the abyss is just a type of dark energy. If it can be used, it might not be able to be used as an energy source...

After the fourth level of the territory, the level of science and technology will develop rapidly, unlocking many buildings that need to use energy.But the system happened to reward such a special drawing at this time, which made Li Wei think for a while.

Is it an inherent reward?
Or is it that he is still in the identity of the leader and has not broken away?
When he was in the Ruins of the Moon, Li Wei knew that he had been selected by the system to be a key figure in promoting the development of the game's plot.

then.

The purpose of the system is mainly to allow him to obtain the Eye of Chaos smoothly.

Now it seems.

The systemic impact is far from over.

In other words, before he realized it, it had already started the moment he obtained the secret realm of the abyss.

abyss……

The system wants him to liberate the demon race?

Li Wei was thoughtful.

Once the demon is born, it will definitely trigger the war between the gods and demons again, leading to chaos in the Three Realms.

And the chaotic situation is undoubtedly the most suitable for the development of players.

The purpose of doing this, just like the blood moon battle, is to let the player become the protagonist of the immortal world as soon as possible.

However, in this way, he who possesses the Lord of the Rings will sooner embark on the path of being a public enemy...

It is worth mentioning that.

The system is not without room for him to choose.

As long as he can bear to give up the benefits brought by the secret realm of the abyss and not touch anything linked to the abyss, even if he has reached this point, Li Wei can still get rid of his special status as a plot promoter.

It just doesn't make sense to do so.

Without him, the system will also guide other players to achieve this goal. History is like a wheel that is always rolling forward. Maybe he can slow it down, but he can't stop it completely after all.

Li Wei quickly made up his mind.

put up.

Don't give up the benefits that are given in vain.

His current status is like half of the protagonist of the plot. Although even if he is not careful, he will die suddenly due to the backlash of the abyss, but in terms of rewards and opportunities, the system will never owe him the slightest bit.

selected location.

Li Wei released the magic power contained in the drawings.

Boom!

There was only a terrifying loud noise like the earth's crust breaking, and a huge pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters suddenly collapsed on the ground in front of Li Wei. It was bottomless, deep and dark, reaching the underground abyss.

"Ugh...!"

The strange humming sound echoed in the deep pit, as if there were countless lonely ghosts howling, struggling, trying to rush out of the darkness.

Suddenly.

A dark red flame lit up in the magic well.

The wailing subsided instantly.

Levi looked down.

But seeing, a fiery red vertical pupil occupying the bottom of the magic well slowly opened, and immediately looked at him together.

"Let me go... I will give you endless power and treasure..."

A deep voice rose directly from the bottom of Li Wei's heart.

Li Wei ignored it indifferently.

"..."

That unknown existence didn't talk nonsense, but there was endless anger in its eyes, which was so terrifying that it seemed to burn everything in the world.However, it couldn't even penetrate that layer of darkness, and could only slowly sink into the darkness in the end.

"One day, I will come again. Insignificant human being, if you reject my kindness, you will definitely bear a painful price. I will burn your body to the ground, and put your soul into purgatory, where you will never be reincarnated."

It threatened calmly.

Hearing this, Li Wei just stretched out his right hand quietly, and a ray of colorless and invisible energy surrounded his fingertips.

The vertical pupils were filled with panic for a moment, and after seeing Li Wei making a gesture to throw this ray of chaotic energy into the magic well, it panicked even more, completely lost the previous arrogance, and the fiery red pupils collapsed for a while.

"Little brother...you are still young, don't go on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes... ouch!"

It hasn't waited for it to finish speaking.

An irresistible force dragged it back to the abyss.

"..."

Li Wei calmly withdrew the ray of chaotic energy in his hand.

Determined in mind.

Although the energy of the abyss is also known for its erosiveness, it still pales in comparison to the power of chaos.

Even demons are afraid of the existence of chaos.
