black wizard Zhu Peng

However, even Zhu Peng himself didn't notice that among his twelve elite skeleton soldiers who were constantly consuming, one of his companions exploded for several rounds, and it never suffered such bad luck. If it flies, it will suffer heavy damage, but as long as it can still move, it will quickly return to the queue.

Because even in its simple consciousness, it is very clear that the master will cancel the summoning of those skeleton soldiers who cannot fight, and canceling the summoning means death for the skeleton soldiers, but it still doesn't want to die!

……

"Excellent battlefield control and command ability, extremely good understanding and application of necromancy, and extremely high affinity for necromancy, otherwise he would not be able to cultivate such a strong mutant summon... Overall evaluation: B+ level."

"Your Excellency Yeying, from the performance of Earl Daxiu Victor, he seems to have noticed our existence. Do you want to temporarily suspend the surveillance?" In the hidden shadow of the Bone Mountain Range, someone asked the head of the secret investigation team. road.

"It doesn't matter. It is a good thing for the entire dark world to have such an outstanding new genius rise among the dark forces. Our existence is secret, but it is not extremely secret. He will face us sooner or later."

On the other side of the Bone Mountains, Zhu Peng and the elf shooter Lianyi still failed to strangle the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton after all. When it was exhausted and scarred, the huge dragon skeleton was suddenly trapped in a dark purple space. , disappeared just before being killed.

Obviously, for that organization in the dark, the controllable combat power of a Sanctuary level is not willing to give up easily, and it has already made corresponding preparations for taking it back.

For ordinary people who are adventurous and experienced in the Bone Mountain Mountain, they may think that this is the last means of escape for the powerful dead spirit of the sanctuary level.

But for Zhu Peng, such a performance directly confirmed the existence of the organization hidden in the dark.

(Two choices, just leave this guy here and leave, and then wait for the organization to come up with some new tricks. Or take this guy temporarily. When she is visiting me, why is it that I am visiting her? ?)

(Of course, the premise is that she is really a member of that mysterious organization.) With a change of mind, Zhu Peng has no plans to leave the Bone Mountains yet.

Next, when he was about to cancel the summoning of the remaining elite skeleton soldiers, Zhu Peng's movements suddenly stopped. For a split second, he seemed to see one of the remaining seven skeleton soldiers move by himself.

Of course, movement can also be divided into subjective movement and physical movement. If it is the latter, there is nothing wrong with it, but if it is the former...

Because of this suspicion, Zhu Peng canceled the summoning of several other skeleton soldiers except for that skeleton, and did not directly use bone repair to repair their damage. Different experiences may be opportunities for evolution.

That night, with white bones as materials, a bonfire was burned.

In the bone cave, Lianyi, an elf girl, told Zhu Peng her story. It was a high-level mercenary group wandering in the Bone Mountains, cleaning up the demonized undead, searching for the bones of ancient dragons, and taking precious herbs. There are a lot of long-term tasks in the game, and the rewards are high while being dangerous.

What's more, if you stay with the sanctuary for many years, and fight with the sanctuary for many years, as long as you don't die, it will be easier to advance to the sanctuary.

The consciousness of many necromancer sanctuaries is chaotic and their intelligence is not very high. Even if they can't fight, as long as they are well prepared, flexible, and lucky enough, there is still a high chance of escaping their lives.

However, if you often walk by the river, there is no reason not to get your shoes wet.

This time, Lianyi's team had an accident in the process of designing to besiege a Necromancer Sanctuary. They didn't intend to strangle the Necromancer Sanctuary, they just wanted to temporarily trap the Necromancer Sanctuary and quickly steal a Necromancer Sanctuary. A precious herb.

Just like where a poisonous snake lives, there must be an antidote within a hundred steps.

Where death energy gathers extremely, many precious medicinal herbs full of vitality will be born in many cases, which can prolong life and have a high price!

The plan of the mercenary team was going smoothly, but the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton that appeared before suddenly broke in, directly destroying the magic circle besieging the Necromancer Sanctuary. Under the pursuit of the two Necromancer Sanctuary, Ripple's adventure team was almost wiped out.

It was under the desperate maintenance of the old captain that Lianyi had the chance to escape. The necromancer sanctuary that was originally calculated had no intention of leaving his territory, but the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton that suddenly appeared chased after him. To Lianyi met Zhu Peng.

"The atmosphere in your team is really good. Everyone is willing to die in battle, just so that you can escape alive." Zhu Peng added bones to the bonfire, whispering indifferently.

"...The captain is a heavy infantry soldier, and only I have the ability to take care of everyone's relatives who stay in their hometown in the days to come." Under such circumstances, the heavy infantry basically didn't run away, and couldn't break through into the sanctuary , the lifespan and career are comparable to ordinary people. From this perspective, it is indeed the most sensible choice to let an elf that everyone trusts escape.

Some people think that not many people can maintain their sanity in the face of life and death.But in fact, high-level mercenaries who have been wandering between life and death for many years can retain part of their sanity.

In the mercenary squad in the fantasy world, if there are elves in the team, it is almost a silent tacit understanding to keep the elves alive as much as possible when the group is destroyed.

First of all, this race is more focused on lawful goodness, and secondly, elves live long enough, and elves who live longer tend to be richer.

The whole team is wiped out, let an elf survive, and the next generation or even several generations will be taken care of. With the elves' natural sensitivity to artworks, the few gadgets they bought inadvertently hundreds of years ago will be taken care of hundreds of years later. Among the human beings, it has become a masterpiece of art.

Conversely, if you let your human teammate escape and survive, as long as he can't break through the sanctuary, no matter how hard he tries, he can take care of your family for at most ten years. This is one of the reasons why long-lived species are often reluctant to make friends with short-lived species. From the perspective of benefit exchange, the longevity species is really not worthwhile.

"Next, do you have any plans?" Basically accepting Lianyi's explanation, Zhu Peng didn't ask any more questions but just asked.

"Go back to the elf forest, borrow some money from my uncle, and then go to Vakar Town to raise the children of my teammates, and then. Me, I haven't thought about it yet." It seems that Ripple intends to continue the virtues of elves.

Such virtues and good deeds are already a kind of potential protection for elves to a certain extent. Many people in the good camp of human beings do not hesitate to draw knives for elves and their own kind. From any aspect, these people are better than Dog lovers in the 21st century have too much sense.

"The natural energy in your body is already very pure, so it would be a pity to give up halfway like this. Besides, don't you want to avenge your companions? At least, complete the last mission of the mercenary group." The lucky little skull who was cancelled, was performing acrobatics, and Zhu Peng didn't even look at Lianyi and said so calmly.

Precious medicinal herbs full of vitality, sanctuary of the undead, all of these are good goals for him, not to mention that he can find out whether the other party is telling the truth or not.

Since the mercenary squad was completely wiped out there, some traces would inevitably be left behind, and for a top spy like Zhu Peng, as long as there were a few traces, it was enough for him to track down too many things.

"...Okay." After thinking for a moment, the elf girl Lianyi nodded and agreed.

"You're right, the captain doesn't want the team's final mission to end in failure, and getting the herb will also be a huge commission." Don't think that the elves don't want to burn money. How can a beautiful woman not burn money?

Especially the elves are still keen on art, but the older the elves are, the more they can control their desires, or they are more likely to become great artists themselves.

After Lianyi rested and slept peacefully, Zhu Peng, who had already slept enough, was exercising the lucky ossicles, while searching for the source of the faint prying feeling around him.

He himself grasps the essence of the parallel integration of spirit and blood, so Zhu Peng's will scanning range and accuracy far exceed those of necromancers of the same level, or that kind of concentrated willpower is called divine consciousness or spiritual consciousness. knowledge, more appropriate.

But even so, the entire Bone Mountain Range is full of hidden energy arrogance, because there are too many suspicious targets, so it is not easy to focus on it.But the feeling of being surrounded and peeped always exists around me.

(I can spy on me, but it prevents me from anti-detection. Even if it is not an artifact, it is at least a large-scale demigod altar... That's right, why didn't I think of it before? There are many sanctuaries like the Bone Mountains, where teams of strong people gather How could the empire not take advantage of it!) Sitting in front of the bonfire, Zhu Peng, who was dressed in a magic robe, was thinking secretly, and he gradually realized what was going on.

……

Everyone is the protagonist of their own life. Even if you are extremely smart, it is likely that the people around you are not stupid.

Although the Bone Mountains are the frontier of the Undead Empire, strictly speaking, it is not a problem to call it the territory of the Undead Empire.

Therefore, the intelligence department of the empire: Bloodface, is hidden in the deep underground of this vast mountain range.

While keeping an eye on the big rift in the lower plane, this intelligence department also collected relevant information on the powerhouses in the sanctuary from all over the world. After all, if there is any problem in the big rift in the lower plane here, the undead empire will bear the brunt.

But the abyss rift in the lower plane has been lying for hundreds of thousands of years without any movement. For the endless abyss, there are really too many such rifts in the plane, so they may have been forgotten.

However, for the blood face, hundreds of thousands of years, more than a dozen generations have passed, and even the members of the sanctuary powerhouse and the longevity species have changed for a generation or two.

Such a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources have been invested, and there is no return at all, how can it be done?

Therefore, under the premise of closely monitoring the big rift in the lower plane, the blood face began to collect information on the powerhouses of the sanctuary from all over the world, including detailed information on the powerhouses of the undead empire itself.

Gradually, with the secondary investment of more manpower, material resources, and financial resources, the scale and functionality of the entire department have become stronger and stronger. In principle, Blood Face will not directly kill other countries or even hostile countries in the Bone Mountains. The cutting-edge powerhouses, after all, the intelligence agencies of other countries are not stupid.

Even if the blood-faced actions are flawless, as long as the enemy's powerful people die a lot in the Bone Mountains, people will naturally suspect the empire instinctively.

But the collection of intelligence is still of great significance. The loyalty and betrayal of subordinates, the cutting-edge powerhouses who destroy the enemy's country by non-death means, collect enough detailed information, and defeat opponents on other occasions.

With the acquiescence and support of the Undead Emperor, Blood Face has gradually become a powerful Anbu-type organization that keeps pace with the official intelligence department of the Undead Empire.

There are five sanctuary-level combat powers stationed there, and they even have the artifact: the eye of the soul. Just from this configuration, it can be seen that this intelligence organization has made great contributions to the empire.

On the other side, Zhu Peng left a row of engraved characters in the bone cave where he lived for a while, and then left with Lianyi.

After the two left, a shadow like burning smoke gathered in the bone cave. After seeing the words Zhu Peng left on the stone wall, the black shadow seemed a little angry, and the raging fire quickly engulfed the entire cave. Burning, after confirming that there were no traces left, the black shadow quickly turned into mist and fled.

In fact, Zhu Peng didn't leave anything else behind, he just wrote out the guesses in his mind: that is, the possibility of the existence of the intelligence department of the Immortal Empire in the Bone Mountains!

Because for thousands of years, the Bone Mountains have been a three-way zone, and everyone has acquiesced that it is indeed a three-way zone. So, what if someone discovers the intelligence organization of the Immortal Empire that exists here and informs others?

Apart from other aspects, it is certain that the number of strong men from other countries who came to the Bone Mountains will drop sharply. While the opponent is investigating Zhu Peng, Zhu Peng is also rebelling against the general according to his own deduction. He is telling himself to hide Opponent in the dark, I have the ability to hurt you, but you, do you really want me to hurt you?

"It's really unruly. You are not polite at all against Lord Yeying. Is he not afraid that Lord Yeying will directly kill him for treason?" In the blood-faced base deep underground in the White Bone Mountains, a man asked one of his The female colleague said so.

Of course, the vast majority of the staff in the blood-faced base cannot be strong in the sanctuary, but they have been spying on the privacy of the sanctuary for many years, and they already have some psychological advantages over these powerful people. Of course, even they themselves It is also clear that this is actually a psychological illusion.

"Count Daxiu Victor, the new talented mage of the empire, declared him treason for no reason because of such a trivial matter... Remember, we are just an intelligence department, and we don't really have any supreme privileges." Beside the man Before the female colleague had time to answer, an old man with red robe and white hair walked in. He was extremely old, but the man and woman in the observation room were all in awe. One of the sanctuaries of the undead empire.

The combination of strength and power makes this old man, even in his twilight years, still majestic and infinite, which can easily make people feel chilling.

On the other side, Zhu Peng and the female elf Lianyi came to the destruction point of Lianyi's mercenary team.

The sanctuary necromancer entrenched here is an undead warrior, powerful in intelligence and agility but relatively low, it is indeed a good target for the high-level mercenary team to pull out their teeth.

But no matter how good the goal is, it is still pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth. As long as there is a little unexpected mistake in the process, it will be a death sentence for everyone in the mercenary team.

For Lianyi's mercenary team, it's a matter of life and death. For Zhu Peng, it's fine to line up and push them over. , for Zhu Peng, it is not a drop in the bucket.

Originally, Lianyi still insisted on completing the last task of the team, but when Zhu Peng discovered the preciousness of the herb, and then increased the commission for completing the task to five times the original one, Lianyi thought that even if he did not complete it, it was not impossible. Accepted.

After all, in the eyes of the old captain, a good reputation should not be as important as five times the commission!

The female elf Lianyi didn't know that the five times the commission didn't even make half a day's profit of the Victor family's golden sea route. Compared with the mercenaries who worked hard to make money, Zhu Peng was just doing it, and he didn't care about it, just sitting and waiting for it Brush there.

In the Bone Mountains, the weak eat the strong, neither Zhu Peng nor the undead warriors have any objection to this, just like fighting against the skeleton Tyrannosaurus rex, the necromancer summons to resist at the front, and Zhu Peng and Lianyi control the field output from behind.

After the sanctuary opened by the undead warrior was neutralized by the flame sanctuary, it spit out highly corrosive dark green acid one after another. Even the undead demons would be injured by this, and the elite skeleton soldiers would be destroyed immediately if they were stained. After melting cleanly, Zhu Peng needs to spend more time controlling the lucky little bone with the possibility of evolution to dodge and evade, even if the ghost bone dragon is severely injured as a result.

In fact, even with Zhu Peng's meticulous control, the possibility of avoiding such a blow is still not high for a big guy like the ghost bone dragon.

Dual-wielding the new equipment, the Dragon Scale Blood Skeleton is active. The ancient dwarf shield on its left hand has the dual effects of solidity and physical attack rebound, and the undead warrior who makes a heavy gesture is basically [-]% obsessed with this physical attack rebound damage. Yes, this kind of situation is impossible for normal sanctuary-level masters, because ordinary people must have mastered enough fighting skills when they are promoted to the sanctuary, and they can use their own skills to eliminate the rebound damage of this kind of physical attack.

However, just as the battle was gradually approaching the normal flow, Zhu Peng keenly sensed the killing intent lurking in the air.

(Because the words I left in the bone hole are going to kill me right away? Is the intelligence department of the empire so crazy? Or did I guess wrong at all.) The consciousness spread, although Zhu Peng didn't look back, Zhu Peng suddenly saw I saw a green-skinned orc lying down and hiding with a big brass-colored sword on his back as he tried his best to restrain his breath. Its palm was already holding the big sword on its back.

This should be an unexpected encounter, and the orc great swordsman didn't think he had any problems hunting a human mage and an elf archer in a place like the Bone Mountains. Zhu Peng could almost feel the hotness of the orc's gaze as it passed over the ripples of his elf companion beside him.

Perhaps, it has already begun to fantasize about how to suppress this charming female elf after killing itself, and enjoy it to the fullest, right?

You have great ideas bro.

I respect you for being a man, and I will try my best to leave you with a whole body later.

Even though he had been promoted to the Necromancer Sanctuary, the undead warrior quickly fell under Zhu Peng's spells and ripples of life arrows, and the lurking orc on the other side also clenched his great sword, ready to go .

Chapter 18 Scarlet Mask, Undying Grass

In fact, as far as the faction is concerned, the orc empire is actually on the same front as the kingdoms of the undead, the dark, and the dungeon.

However, this is of no use.

The orc empire keeps fighting and fighting within itself, and the major tribes often attack and kill each other in order to compete for living space.

Want money?Take up the sword and plunder.

Want a woman?Take up the sword and plunder.

Want nothing at all?Pick up the sword and find the meaning of life!

In the world of orcs, there is nothing that cannot be balanced by a sword. If there is, it only means that your sword is not sharp enough.

Under such a social and cultural background, let alone a human being with a prey that makes him excited, even if an orc brings his prey, Lei Ze will still hold his long knife high without hesitation.The law of the jungle preys on the strong, and the strong owns everything. This is the law of survival of the orcs.

As for the high-level necromancers, they belonged to a profession that was more restrained by orc fighters. Most of the necromancer's combat power was in the summoning of necromancers, and their close-up adaptability was not as strong as other mages.

reason?But it is also because the summoning of the undead is too strong, and it is difficult for most professions to rush to their close.

Whether it was the undead warrior that Zhu Peng was strangling or the female elf beside him, no matter the trophy or the female, Lei Ze's heart was moved, so he held his epee tightly, with thunder hovering faintly on it.

The orc great swordsman didn't know that the body of the last sword master who sneaked up on the necromancer in front of him was still cold.

As time passed, at the moment when the undead warrior in the sanctuary of the dead was about to be killed, Lei Ze made a move.

As the saying goes, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, and there is a similar proverb circulating among the orcs: shoot at the moment when the prey is about to kill the prey, and you will reap double the prey!

This orc great swordsman who cultivated the energy of the thunder system suddenly appeared behind Zhu Peng like a teleportation, and then slashed down with his sword. Its thunder sanctuary also exploded at this moment, repelling all other energies The power is infinite.

But in any high-magic world where there are spellcasters, fighters in this world will often practice some breakthrough methods. After all, relying on the body and even the strength of fighting spirit and the caster to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to fight a protracted war of attrition is the rhythm of seeking abuse.

The shorter the battle time is compressed, the better the chances of victory for the fighters.

Zhu Peng was like this back then, the old orc swordsman on Tedar Island was like this, and today's orc great swordsman Lei Ze is also like this.

Boom!

The sound wave spread, as if it had been rehearsed, a blood-colored skeleton covered with dragon scales suddenly appeared behind Zhu Peng holding an ancient dwarf shield, flashing, the big sword smashed on the ancient shield, and the blood-colored skeleton behind him suddenly turned around. Large pieces shattered and shattered, and this mutated skeleton fell to the brink of destruction with just one blow.

However, this is already the orc sanctuary who made a sneak attack and was crazily able to fight back.

Because the human mage with his back facing him in front of him, two sharp bone spear swords extended from his sleeves, his body was slightly straightened, and a wave of powerful swords tearing apart the heavens and the earth crushed him like a tide come over.

This is a kind of sympathy that most people can only feel threatened, but only sword practitioners can truly feel its terror. Lei Ze has always been proud of his strong sword intent and fierce fighting spirit.

However, the moment it faced the opponent in front of it, it only felt that the opponent was holding a holy sword, a demigod, or even a more powerful current sword, while the one in his hand was just an iron sword, a stone sword or even a sword. Yu Mujian.

But in fact, what Lei Ze is holding is also a famous sword handed down from the orc sanctuary. It is actually Zhu Peng who has experienced thousands of battles, Fighting, honing the terrifying will that has been tempered.

In fact, the blood skull blocks its sword. If Lei Ze is really fierce, crazy, and tyrannical enough, he should press harder at this moment. After hitting the blood skull with a sword, even though the strength disappears, his momentum Geng Sheng took advantage of the situation and beheaded Zhu Peng.

This is the most perfect and most suitable way to deal with it. Even if it still can't run away in the end, it will cause irreparable losses to Zhu Peng no matter what... It can even force the opponent to return to the sword and win for himself. A moment of escape.

However, it did not.

Lei Ze, the orc great swordsman who always thought he was fierce and tyrannical, was afraid at the last moment. He was cowed by the sword that erupted from the necromancer in front of him, so the sword from the sneak attack returned violently. It's not like beheading the opponent just thinking about saving himself.

Just like a drowning person who thumps wildly after falling into the water, he knows he is irrational, but he can't be rational in the face of the death that is rushing madly.

The dragon scale and blood skeleton relying on the ancient dwarf shield was not killed by a single sword, and Lei Ze's sword did return to defense and successfully blocked a bone spear sword from Zhu Peng.

However, what is the use of this?
