The Land of Forbidden Magic was known as the most difficult starting point of the Mage Web.
No matter what level you were at, once you were placed in the Land of Forbidden Magic, you would drop by three thousand levels, just like Sun Wukong being suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain. There were also some mages who were so talented that they could do well in the Land of Forbidden Magic. But this had nothing to do with the individual. That kind of talent was awesome anywhere.
For example, Dragon Mages were naturally gifted. No matter where they went, they would be dozens of times better than human Mages.
However.
The owl in front of them was not a dragon.
He was a human.
Without the sharp claws of the Tiger People, without the wings of the Eagle People, without the sharp teeth of the Crocodile People, even compared to the Orc race, humans were trash, not to mention the dragon race.
Such a person had only been here for five days.
He acted alone and successfully saved the sentinel and the alchemist?
Besides.
The alchemist being taken down by the enemy was nothing, but what about the sentinel? The sentinel itself was a guard around the perimeter. The enemy who could capture the sentinel must be very strong … You, a spear warrior, actually took down such an enemy without a trace of injury on your body. You didn't even need to wrap a bandage?
Where's the face of us old birds?
It's all over the ground.
If this owl was as strong as the Tiger Shadow, it would make sense. The problem was … He was really at the level of a newbie. He hadn't practiced the Monk's Body-strengthening Technique and the Hunter's Training Technique well. Thrown on the battlefield, a lizard beast soldier would be more useful than him. Such a person actually did something that no one dared to do and did it so well.
An owl.
Everyone silently remembered this code name and secretly paid attention to the follow-up.
According to the habits of the Mage Web, people who liked to cause trouble often didn't just once or twice. They usually liked to cause trouble continuously. Although this was the first stop in the Land of Forbidden Magic and safety was guaranteed, there were many strange beast wars. If he continued to cause trouble, there would be a lot of fun to watch.
The old birds didn't admit defeat and secretly prepared to 'compete'.
The celebration continued.
The Giant City Lord praised the other teams and encouraged every mage who performed well. Of course, the actual rewards were definitely not small. The war stronghold model was completely based on the Mage Web. Military merit in exchange for benefits, a real direct exchange.
More than half of the banquet, the Silver Hand Alchemist came.
He was only poisoned by the unconscious toxin, so his health wasn't affected. If the shapeshifters wanted to pass through the Fire Snake Swamp, they needed a living Alchemist to open the way, so Silver Hand was lucky not to be injured. The Eagle Whistle was not so lucky. It had to be sent out of the Forbidden Land for treatment before it could return to the battlefield.
Silver Hand entered the arena.
He walked directly to Tang Shidao and said, "I won't say too many words of thanks. There are two things. First, this alchemy manual regarding the Resurrection Potion belongs to you and the poison master. You can study it as you wish. Secondly, my military merits and rewards will be yours as well. I don't want any of it. I want to start from scratch. This time, I will do my best to reach the second stop before you. "
After saying that, he put down his alchemy letter and left without looking back.
This was not a declaration of war.
It was a form of competition.
"Going alone means setting off as an independent team and heading to the next war stronghold. They didn't take the main road, nor did they form an alliance with any other teams. This kind of operation is difficult, very difficult. Not to mention breaking through the encirclement of the Void Beasts, just finding the second war stronghold is not easy. "The Poison Master Wolf explained softly.
"Aren't the surrounding war strongholds fixed?" Tang Shidao asked.
"Yes. But generally speaking, it's impossible to directly break through the encirclement of the Void Beasts. As long as you take a few detours, it's easy to get lost. The war strongholds are arranged in a line, not just in the north, but also in the northwest and northeast. The distance between each section is different, but one thing is certain: the second war stronghold is very dangerous, at least twice as dangerous as the first stop. "The Poison Master Wolf explained in detail.
"Then let's train well first." Tang Shidao was not in a hurry to advance. If he was not strong enough, it would be useless to force himself to the next stop.
The celebration ended.
Tang Shidao quietly pulled the Poison Master Wolf over, and the two whispered, "Do you know what the requirements are for 'passing'?"
The Poison Master Wolf nodded. "There are three ways to graduate from here. First, go to the tenth stop. Whether you achieve it alone or in a team, as long as you reach the tenth stop, you are considered to have passed. Second, wear level ten armor. As long as you can afford to wear it and move normally, it's fine. Third, kill the designated Void Beast King. I'm not too sure about the last one. I need to talk to the city lords of the various war strongholds in secret. "
"Well, what does level ten armor mean?" Tang Shidao asked.
"Let's go get the reward, and then you'll know." The Poison Master Wolf did not need to explain, because the level of armor was the reward.
Soon.
The four of them gathered and went to the military merit warehouse to get the equipment.
At this moment.
The Rat Orc employee explained to Tang Shidao in detail. The so-called Level 1 Armor was, in fact, an armor with stronger defense and heavier weight. Because there were no spells in the Land of Forbidden Magic, physical defense could only pile up material density, so the stronger the defense, the heavier the weight of the armor itself. Level two armor was heavier than level one armor, and level three armor was heavier than level two armor.
At level five or six armor, Tang Shidao could not even afford to wear a helmet.
Even if he wore level two armor, his speed would be greatly reduced, and he would be no different from a target on the battlefield. He was just trying to wear level one armor, and its weight still affected his flexibility a little. On the other hand, level one armor was much stronger than ordinary armor, and any stray arrows were basically ineffective.
"We're missing a sentinel." Tang Shidao decided to wear level one armor as a form of self-training.
"The Eagle Sentinel will come. You've saved it once, so it's only right for it to help you. Silver Hand will definitely reorganize the team. He and his teammates did not work well together. He is partly responsible for the trouble caused by Silver Hand's clothes. But the Shield Guardian did not keep an eye on him, and the Hunter did not track his whereabouts. This is obviously a dereliction of duty. "Tiger Shadow explained, indicating that the team was not fixed forever.
Everyone did not work well together, so they disbanded after returning to the city.
This time, Silver Hand was indeed wrong.
However, his team was not very strong. The shapeshifting monsters were mainly Yin Eagle Sentinels, and the other three were not targets. They were too careless to miss the Alchemist.
"Well, then we'll wait for the Eagle Sentinel to come back before we set off." Tang Shidao did not take the Eagle Sentinel lightly.
First of all, the fact that Silver Hand had chosen it meant that it was really outstanding.
Second, although the shapeshifting monsters had tricked it, the shapeshifting monsters had even fooled the Giant City Lord. It was not the Eagle Sentinel's fault for tricking it, but the enemy was too cunning.
Two days later, the Eagle Sentinel returned.
"Thank you, Mr. Owl. I'll join your team." The Eagle Sentinel thumped its chest and made an oath.
"Welcome to the team. Let's cut to the chase. I have something I want you to do. " Tang Shidao welcomed the Eagle Sentinel with a smile and took out a drawing. It was a map of the shapeshifting monsters' underground cave. "This is the tunnel I memorized when I killed the shapeshifting monsters. There's a group of Green-Spotted Fire Ants further down. If I remember correctly, the Green-Spotted Fire Ants like to live with Sweet Wine Mushrooms, and the Ground Violent Beasts like to eat Sweet Wine Mushrooms. "
"I know Sweet Wine Mushrooms are alchemy materials." The Eagle Sentinel expressed that it had no problem.
"No, I want you to find the Ground Violent Beasts. Maybe you don't know, but the Ground Violent Beasts like to dig. In order to avoid enemies, the Earthly Violent Beasts would often dig underground. The main enemies nearby are Tyrant Bearrats, Thorn Snakes, and Rock Centipedes. If we don't want to be passive forever, we have to find their nest. "Tang Shidao told the Eagle Sentinel his plan.
"Why find the Ground Violent Beasts?" The Eagle Sentinel thought about it and found it reasonable.
"Because the underground is safer than the surface." Tang Shidao said something that surprised everyone. "On the surface, it looks like there are beasts underground, and the roads are not smooth, so it's easier to get lost and so on. In fact, the tunnels are easier to defend and easier to retreat. There are also no little bugs to disturb us. Most importantly, the Alchemist can seal a section of the tunnel with a bottle of potion. "
"So, we need the Ground Violent Beasts' well-connected tunnels." Tiger Shadow also understood.
As long as the roads were smooth, it would be much easier for a small team to survive underground.
The most obvious example was the Elephant Sentinel.
With the Poison Master behind him guarding one side, there was no need to worry. Even if there were enemies on the other side, a bottle of Poison Gas Potion could stop them.
Of course, the precondition was that the roads were well-connected. Otherwise, a small group of people would be dead if they were surrounded.
After the plan was set, everyone began to work.
Tang Shidao and Poison Master Wolf obtained a large batch of Alchemy Potions. Tiger Shadow and Eagle Whistle went out to scout. Elephant Mask tried to adapt to the new Level 4 Heavy Armor. Compared to Tang Shidao's Level 1 Heavy Armor, Elephant Mask's Heavy Shield Guard focused on defense but not speed.
Four days later.
Eagle Whistle brought back new information. It and Tiger Shadow had found a few suitable areas to farm monsters.
"Choose here." Tang Shidao pointed at a place.
"There are Tyrant Bearrats near this tunnel. Compared to our defensive strength, this place should be the most dangerous." Eagle Whistle didn't disagree, only giving suggestions.
"I want the five of us to start an army battle," Tang Shidao said with certainty.
"What?" Poison Master Wolf's heart skipped a beat.
"Eagle Whistle, you and Tiger Shadow take these potions and sprinkle them below, then lure them to chase after us. I will place Molotov cocktails and Explosion Royal Jelly in a fixed place. Under safe circumstances, you guys try to lure as many Bearrats as possible. This place is the starting point, you guys will personally ignite it. "Tang Shidao followed the map and pointed in a circle, indicating that they were going to play big in the first round.
Eagle Whistle was stunned.
A small team starting an army battle was already crazy enough, and you actually want to eat a large group of them at once.
Thinking about it … this was really possible.
"Okay, I will immediately find Tiger Shadow and start the plan." Eagle Whistle didn't have any doubts. After all, luring monsters wasn't dangerous. The Bearrats had good defense, but they were slow.
Eagle Whistle left.
After a while.
Poison Master Wolf still couldn't help but ask, "Why don't we add some Poison Marsh Fog? If we add this thing, the possibility of killing them all is higher. "
Tang Shidao laughed, "You will understand in a while."
Poison Master Wolf stopped asking.
Elephant Mask didn't want to use his brain either. He felt that he couldn't keep up with a rookie's thinking.
Not long after.
Eagle Whistle and Tiger Shadow completed the plan and successfully led a large group of Tyrant Bearrats to chase after them. Then, a series of explosions and burning took care of 50% of their numbers. The remaining 50% were half injured and half disabled. They were isolated in sections of the tunnel and completely lost their way.
"Pour some of this potion on everyone. Elephant Mask, take off your heavy armor. Don't make too much noise. "Tang Shidao instructed.
Everyone was puzzled … What was going on?
Sniffing the smell, wasn't this the fragrance that lured the Tyrant Bearrats before? If it happened again, they definitely wouldn't be fooled.
Even though they didn't understand.
They still acted accordingly.
On the other side, the Tyrant Bearrats that weren't affected also knew that they had been fooled. They weren't idiots. They felt that too many of their companions had died, and their combat strength was no longer enough to protect them. Without thinking, the Bearrats immediately retreated and rushed back to their leader's side.
Through the secret tunnel, the defeated bear-rats returned.
The Bearrat Leader was very curious about the smell on their bodies. After communicating with them, he found out that they had been fooled by this smell and had been burned and blown to death in large groups.
Counterattack!
The enemy definitely hadn't run far!
The Bearrat Leader was furious. He instructed his subordinates to spread out and contact the other small tribes. Just after giving the order, he felt that something was wrong. Other than the deceptive fragrance, there seemed to be the smell of humans and orcs in the air.
"Go, kill the leader within five seconds. If we succeed, we will escape immediately."
A soft voice sounded in the underground tunnel. The strong light of five Molotov cocktails instantly blinded the eyes of the Bearrats, causing their reactions to slow down slightly.
Blood splattered in the strong light. No one knew whose it was.
When the Bearrats came back to their senses.
They raised their heads.
Their leader had lost his head, and only blood was gushing out. There was no one around, except for a chilling fragrance.
At this moment.
The Bearrats, who thought they were smart, didn't even dare to chase after them.
Half a day later.
