The Star Sealing Platform was a large open space. There was a high platform directly in front of it. It looked a bit similar to the speech center in the square. It looked generous and simple.
Chen Rui moved his mind and came to the high platform. He felt that the scene of the open space below changed into an endless starry sky. At the same time, the corresponding function of the Star Sealing Platform appeared in his mind.
The function of the Star Sealing Platform was to bestow star positions. Those who obtained the star position title could have special attributes and characteristics. The attribute power and quota of the star position were related to the Polaris Emperor's level. Currently, Chen Rui's Blue Star level could bestow 3 types of star positions: Star General, Star Servant, and Star Apprentice.
Among them, there was 1 Star General, 2 Star Servants, and 3 Star Apprentices.
Star General – Star Position Bonus: Strength S-. Characteristic "Army Breaker": Increased damage and doubled destructive power.
Star Servant – Star Position Bonus: Spirit Power A +. Characteristic "Condensing Thoughts": Increased magic casting speed and spirit power recovery.
Star Apprentice – Star Position Bonus: Speed A Characteristic "Running Thunder": Movement speed, attack speed.
It meant that those who obtained the star position title could directly have the attribute superposition and characteristics of the corresponding level. The recipient of the title must be the contractor of the spiritual link or a fanatic who met the requirements of the faith level. Not only that, if the quality of the recipient did not meet the minimum requirements of the star position, additional faith crystals must be paid to bestow.
For example, Rolla was now at the peak stage of the Demon Overlord. After obtaining the title of "Star Servant", the A + spirit power effect of the title would be superimposed on her original spirit power, which was equivalent to S + plus A +. For Rolla, whose strength had reached the bottleneck and it was difficult to make progress, this bit of spirit power might become the key for her to defeat enemies of the same level. As for the special skill of "Condensing Thoughts", it was the best assistance for the magician.
However, if this Star Servant title was to be bestowed to the imp, Slee, whose strength was only Lesser Demon, his spirit power could directly jump to A + after obtaining the title. However, due to Slee's strength and status, Chen Rui had to pay a lot of faith crystals to complete this bestowment.
What made Chen Rui a little speechless was that these three types of Star Positions not only had a limited number of slots and requirements, but they also needed to spend a lot of faith crystals to activate them. It could be said that money was needed everywhere!
Although there were still nearly 10,000 faith crystals, and Shura had the special ability to steal faith power, it was still far from the number of one million. It was related to Isabella's life and death. Before there was absolute certainty, he must not spend it easily.
In addition to the Star Sealing Platform, good things also appeared in the Exchange Center. Coincidentally, those things not only required spiritual energy but also faith crystals to exchange. Therefore, Chen Rui could only watch the various deceptive activities of spending RMB in the "free" game "Polaris King of the Super System" as a non-RMB player.
When he was feeling aggrieved, he suddenly sensed some strange movement. Chen Rui, who had been "resting with his eyes closed", immediately exited the Super System and opened his eyes.
A rustling sound came from afar, followed by the neighing of horses mixed with screams of pain.
"Enemy attack!"
"Snake!"
"It's a poisonous snake! Many of them! We're surrounded! "
"Be careful …"
Since it was late at night, the members of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group were caught off guard. However, under Ina's command, they quickly stabilized their position.
The mercenaries formed a circular defensive formation, protecting the panicked fat priest and others in the center. An astonishing number of snakes appeared around the encirclement. These snakes were fast and aggressive. Most of them were poisonous. The mercenaries tried their best to kill them, but they could barely maintain the defensive circle. Several poisoned ones had retreated to the center to be healed.
Ina's weapon was a giant shield. She took the lead and stood at the forefront. The key role was played by the three magicians in the team. They jointly released a circle of fire wall, effectively blocking the attack of the poisonous snakes. However, the poisonous snakes seemed to be driven by something. Although many of them were buried in the fire, they still rushed forward one after another.
Looking at the terrifying appearance of the poisonous snakes under the illumination of the fire, the fat priest's heart almost jumped out of his chest in horror. His clothes were soaked in cold sweat. He had traveled many times, and at most, he would only encounter a few blind thieves. With the protection of the mercenary group and the name of the church, he had basically not encountered any big trouble. However, he had only left Gudan Town for a day, and he had encountered such a terrifying attack!
The poisonous snakes' attacks became more and more fierce, rushing forward one after another. The strength of the three mages was not considered strong. Two of them were only at the early stage of Soldier Rank (Low Demon Rank F), while the other was at the middle stage of Soldier Rank (Intermediate Demon Rank E). After continuously casting magic, their mental strength was almost exhausted.
The power of the fire wall gradually weakened. More and more poisonous snakes passed through the fire, and the mercenaries could no longer hold on.
"Steady!" Ina's voice sounded. She raised the giant shield with both hands and shook it toward the ground. A circle of energy ripples spread forward, and the nearby poisonous snakes were all sent flying by a strong force. A huge mutant snake only trembled backward, and then slithered over at an even faster speed. The ferocious snake head appeared on the shield and pounced toward Ina.
In the light of the fire, two rows of sharp teeth could already be seen in its open mouth.
Ina had just unleashed her Tremor Attack, and before she could recover, she was about to be bitten by the giant snake. At this moment, a spear shot out with a sharp gust of wind, piercing through the snake's head in the nick of time. The tip of the spear emitted crimson flames, burning the struggling giant snake into charcoal.
Ina looked back in surprise at Lucio, who was holding the spear, and nodded at him. Lucio himself was a little surprised. The spear that his master had given him did not look amazing, but it was many times more powerful than he had imagined. It even had the power of flames to amplify it. It was practically tailor-made for his ultimate move, "Flame Thrust." Could it be that it was the same as that pair of gloves, both …
Lucio shot three times consecutively, piercing through three of the approaching poisonous snakes. Ina commanded the group to stabilize their defense while she used shock attacks with Lucio's help to defeat the nearby poisonous snakes.
Seeing that the defensive circle was getting smaller and smaller, the Wind Leopard by Pastor Mana's side revealed an extremely vigilant look. Although it was stronger than any of the poisonous snakes, it would definitely die if it charged into so many snakes.
The terrified Fatty finally couldn't help but shout, "We can't hold on any longer! Protect me and Richard as we leave this place!"
At this moment, the poisonous snakes suddenly stopped attacking and retreated in panic. Not long after, they disappeared into the night.
After confirming that the poisonous snakes had retreated, the mercenaries all heaved a sigh of relief. They started to count the casualties and treat their injuries. Due to the sudden attack of the poisonous snakes, two of the three mercenaries who were patrolling the outermost perished. The bearded Silva was stronger than his peers, so he was spared. However, he was poisoned, and his life was in danger. There were also many injured or poisoned mercenaries. Four of their mounts had died, and about half of them had run away.
This time, Mana brought two cultivators with him. Both of them were light element cultivators, and they began to heal the mercenaries. The light element's' healing 'was more effective than the water element's' healing ', and the' dispelling 'was no less effective than the water element's' detoxification '. Moreover, it could also dispel some common negative effects. With the help of the two cultivators, the mercenaries with the most serious injuries were temporarily under control. The rest of the lightly injured mercenaries used herbs and potions to heal themselves.
"This is definitely not a coincidence. It's a premeditated attack! Those snakes must be under someone's control! " Ina, who had squatted down to bandage the wounds of the mercenaries, punched the ground in anger. She had originally thought that this was just an ordinary escort mission, and had never expected to encounter such an attack. They had lost two companions on the first day of their departure, and suffered huge losses as well.
"Could it be an enemy of our Ironshield or Lord Pastor?"
"It's the Sacredfeather Mercenaries? This time, they lost face because of the Iron Pomegranate Bee mission, and even offended Lord Pastor. "
"Right, isn't there a beastmaster called Cheles in Sacredfeather? It must be him! " The more Fatty thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. He could not help but fly into a rage, "How bold of the Sacredfeather Mercenaries to attack a clergyman. I'll definitely report this to the church, and they'll send Knights of Light to burn them all at the stake!"
"To control so many poisonous snakes, one has to be at least a high-level beastmaster. Cheles doesn't have that ability …" As the leader of the mercenaries, Ina did not lose her rationality due to anger, "It's very likely someone else."
The word 'beastmaster' reminded Fatty, and he immediately thought of his most important partner. He hurriedly asked Lucio, "Where's Richard?"
Lucio shook his head, indicating that he did not know. Fatty looked around, and discovered that Chen Rui had actually disappeared. His heart tightened, and cold sweat began to form again. He shouted, "Richard! Where are you? "
"I'm here."
A black figure flew out of the forest, and fell to the ground, motionless.
Fatty was shocked, and saw that there was an additional person beside him in an instant. It was Chen Rui.
Chen Rui glanced at the man on the ground, and said to Ina, "This fellow is the one who controlled the poisonous snakes. I think you guys should have no lack of interrogation methods."
Ina was shocked, "So, it was you who made the poisonous snakes retreat just now …"
Chen Rui nodded, and did not say much. He threw two bottles of potions to Lucio, "One is a special antidote, and the other is a special healing potion. Go and help them heal their injuries."
Fatty wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "Richard, I was worried about you just now. I didn't think … It's all thanks to you this time."
"Don't worry, my friend," Chen Rui comforted Fatty with a smile, "There shouldn't be any more attacks tonight."
As the two were talking, Ina's surprised voice rang out, "That fellow … is dead."
Chen Rui frowned slightly, and Fatty said angrily, "What are you mercenaries doing? When the poisonous snakes attack, you only know how to defend yourselves, and you even need to protect your employer to capture the enemy! Now, my friend has captured a ready-made captive for you to interrogate, and you've killed him so quickly? "
These words made the Iron Shield mercenaries look angry, but what Fatty said was the truth, and they were speechless for a moment.
Ina did not refute, and only said, "This fellow is from the Dagger Brotherhood."
The name 'Dagger Brotherhood' made the fat on Fatty's face tremble. His impassioned emotions seemed to have been splashed with cold water, and he immediately fell silent.
