Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 156 The Devil's Target?
After a brief discussion, the other god-chosen heroes except Li Wei left one after another.

There is no way, with their current remaining strength, they can't help much, and the remaining subordinates are more precious than each other, most of them are reluctant to let them continue to work hard, that is really going to cost them money .

The Lightcaster and the Sun Knight intend to continue walking together. The former is out of loyalty, while the latter feels that it doesn't matter. Anyway, even if all the low-level units are dead, he only needs to use some of his powers, and he will be able to recover in a few days. fill up.

But Li Wei still politely rejected the other party. First, it was unnecessary, and second, he also had his own secret.

Regarding the deal with the witch Tiwa and Doomsday Chen Zhui, the other god-chosen heroes present didn't know anything about it.

The Sun Knight still wanted to give up his life to accompany the gentleman, but the Lightcaster seemed to see something, his eyes flickered, and then he took the initiative to persuade the Sun Knight, adding Li Wei's words, so he didn't say anything again. persist in.

So now Li Wei has become a lone wolf again, surrounded by people of his own in the true sense, and they have returned to the familiar atmosphere.

Just as he was about to lead the troops to continue marching, there was a series of screams in front, and then Li Wei also noticed something was wrong.

On the battlefields where they fought before, the corpses of the demon army have been refreshed, but they have left permanent scars on the earth.

It was a large swath of purple-black marks, mixed with bursts of pungent stench, it was the abyssal corruption from the devil.

Unless purified by divine magic, they will affect all plants, animals and even other humanoid intelligent creatures here. They will either become crazy or be corrupted into depraved and evil creatures sooner or later.

It is said that many Chaos races, led by Chaos Warriors, Beastmen, Skaven, Norsca Barbarians, Kurgans, Chaos Dwarves, etc., were affected by this.

And as time goes by, not only will this abyssal corruption not get better, but it will gradually expand outward until it invades the entire world. This is one of the reasons why demons are hated by the camps of law and justice. Even if they are defeated, One's own side also has to bear certain consequences.

The only good thing is that the bones of the demons will quickly decay after they die, and then turn into fly ash. Even if there is a necromancer to take action, it is almost impossible to turn them into undead creatures, which can be regarded as slightly reduced. little trouble.

Cindy tentatively used two purifications, but they only purified an area of ​​about one square meter in total. It seemed that even if she drank all the magic potions, she would not be able to completely purify the corruption in this place.

"Is this the devil's abyssal corruption? They are much stronger than the undead's undead corruption."

As a witch hunter, Julia has hunted and killed the undead more than once, but the corruption of the undead cannot be compared with the shocking scene in front of her, because even if she does not evolve with divine magic or holy water, the strong sunlight alone will It may clear or weaken the corruption of the undead, the two are not at the same level at all!
"Let's go, Cindy, if we can repel the invasion of the demon army, the major temples will send people to deal with it."

He didn't say what would happen if the demon army couldn't be defeated, because if the towns and villages fell one after another, it wouldn't matter if this barren rocky highland was corrupted by the demon's abyssal power.

Although helpless, Cindy could only give up temporarily, but before they could relax, they heard a series of bones colliding. Under the eyes of everyone, many broken bones emerged from the corrupted ground. Mixed with a small amount of ghost enemies.

This scene is the same as outside Maple Leaf Village before!
Although some undead were not their opponents at all and were quickly killed, Li Wei still couldn't help frowning.

Although the corpses of the demons died out quickly, the troops killed by one's own side were quickly transformed into undead. In addition, it is said that the sacrificial ceremony that covered the entire rocky highland, no matter which side died, it would strengthen their power. Power, the means of these demons are really disgusting.

Cindy also felt a little helpless. She finally realized that it was impossible to change the evil environment here by herself. She had to complete the rescue mission first, and then think of other solutions.

But soon she stared at Li Wei with her beautiful big eyes: "Brother Li Wei, I'm already level 4, when will we start revenge against the Snake Cult?"

Julia also looked at him immediately. In this regard, the attitudes of the two of them are almost completely the same.

Li Wei waved his hand: "Don't worry, we haven't had direct contact with the Snake Worship Cult yet, and we don't know their strength. It's too hasty now, and your strength is not strong enough, just wait."

Big Lolita let out an "oh", but she wasn't very disappointed. Instead, she became more motivated, because she knew that Brother Li Wei would never lie to her.

At this time, Donna who was next to me also came to join in the fun: "Li Wei, my combat level is already level 5, and the campaign level is almost the same. After the battle here is over, I should improve my strength, otherwise It’s really going to be compared to Little Cindy.”

Li Wei nodded subconsciously. It is of course a good thing that his subordinates are so proactive, but he immediately reacted: "Donna, how do you want to improve? Haven't you become an official ranger?"

For God's Chosen heroes, level 5 is a very important turning point in the early stage. They will lose the title of "apprentice" and become real professionals, and their strength will also be greatly improved.

For example, Li Wei's own official mage has obtained more than one new ability, the lightcaster's priest has further expanded his belief in gods, or the dark guard who the sun knight wants to advance can all be attributed to this class, but Donna didn't have any trainees from the beginning!

Donna rolled her beautiful eyes: "Tch, can't official rangers continue to improve their strength? Perhaps you can also understand that we Amazons have privileges, which is one of the favors given to us by the gods we worship."

Li Wei shrugged: "Okay, you look good, and what you say makes sense, so is there anything I can help you with?"

"That's not necessary. I've already prepared the relevant materials. At that time, I just need to bring my two big cats, and you can help me input a little mana. Then I will be teleported to a special trial place .”

"However, you have to speed up a little bit for the battle ax that I asked you to prepare before. After I finish improving my strength, it will be my turn to do that."

"Okay, no problem, if you have any needs, just ask them all, and I will definitely do my best."

"Of course, I won't be polite to you."

"However, I don't know much about the gods you believe in. They don't seem to have much reputation on the mainland?"

Although Amazon is the initial optional race exclusively for women, the proportion of female god-chosen heroes in this game is very low due to the difficulty of getting started, and most of them choose high elves and vampires, etc. There are not many active Amazons, so there is not much information about them.

"Well, this is mainly because they came from other worlds. For this world, they are still some relatively unfamiliar outer gods, so there are not many believers, but the gods are extremely generous to us. For example, the heroic gods I believe in Diana, the god of fearlessness, has a special preference for our Amazons, and every Amazon can get the opportunity to try their courage, especially for us as a hero unit, there are more opportunities."

After ending this little episode, they continued to march towards their destination, and then they found that the farther they moved forward, the worse the surrounding environment became.

The original rocky highland was already very barren, but some green could still be seen, but now the surrounding plants either showed a corrupted purple-black color, or were burned to ashes, and the surrounding temperature began to slow down. And firmly improve.

Once or twice is okay, but once more, Janet can't stand it first, because she is very worried about the current situation of the bee tribe she was born in.

Because she knew that, in a sense, demons treated other creatures fairly, that is, no matter what camp, faction or race they were, they would only pounce on them and start a bloody massacre!

But even so, she didn't take the initiative to make any requests, because she knew that the affairs of the Beeman tribe were only important to her, but this rescue mission was more important to Li Wei.

Li Wei noticed this, so he comforted her a little. After completing the task, he will definitely go to the bee tribe as soon as possible to see if there is any demon attack there.

Soon after, they encountered new enemies. The opponents were some purgatory gnolls. Compared with the similar ones they had seen before, these guys had hideous bone spurs growing on their spines and elbows, which looked very different. It's easy to mess with.

It's just that I don't know if the abyss fissures have been affected, and troops can't be dispatched in a short period of time, or because the demons here have already attacked other Novice Villages, so the number of opponents is unexpectedly small, with only about fifty in the first team .

Of course, compared to the previous Gnoll hunting team, their strength is undoubtedly much stronger, even the weakest ones have Tier 2, which is verified by Julia herself.

Having been successfully promoted to team leader, she personally led the horse thieves from the Red Brotherhood, cooperated with Sam, Janet and others to conduct reconnaissance in front, and discovered the other party first with the speed of the horse.

Then she took advantage of her speed and the crossbow she carried with her to command her younger brothers to carry out a successful guerrilla warfare.

Although limited by the power of the crossbow, they actually did not cause much damage, but they roughly figured out the opponent's strength. In this respect, they are much stronger than Sam. Originally, Sam could only rely on his own naked eyes and his past. knowledge, to roughly judge the strength of the opponent.

After finding out the strength, it will be much easier to fight again. It is still Zhou Miyin who leads the Yuyongs to guard the front, and Donna leads the archers to shoot long-range.

After Li Wei completed the buff state for the front row, he summoned the wolf patrol and the mastiff Yakon again, and cooperated with Donna's animal partners to form a small team to hunt and kill the ordinary purgatory wolves If a person can't hold on for a round at all, they will be instantly killed by their teamwork.

And even if the opponent plans to launch a counterattack or siege, as long as they use their special skills, the surrounding enemies will be instantly weakened. Although they still bark their teeth and claws and look very arrogant, in fact, their combat power in a short period of time is completely. Not worthy of their looks.

After doing all this, and throwing another spider web technique to temporarily restrict the opponent's actions, Li Wei used the stinky cloud technique in the most densely populated place in purgatory.

During the last battle, he found that compared to other demons, the Cerberus and the three-headed Cerberus were particularly sensitive to this magic. Now he just took these purgatory wolves as an experiment. After all, these guys' sense of smell should be They are all sharper.

Then he was very pleased to find that the purgatory wolves who were shrouded in the stinky cloud technique really reacted extremely strongly one by one, as if they wanted to vomit their stomachs out.

In this case, they are no longer their own opponents.

However, a beeman didn't know whether he was over-excited, or he forgot Li Wei's previous warning. When he attacked the enemy, he entered the cloud without knowing it, and then he immediately rolled his eyes and turned his head. He fell down and stepped into the footsteps of the purgatory wolves.

Fortunately, the effect of the magic is almost over at this time, and the enemy has basically been killed, and the bees next to him quickly dragged him out to prevent him from becoming an unfortunate victim.

Then Li Wei asked someone to pour an antidote and a bottle of water into that guy, and finally saved the unlucky guy.

Taking advantage of the time when others were cleaning the battlefield, Li Wei personally asked the unlucky guy what the stinky cloud technique smelled like.

It's just that this guy probably doesn't have much knowledge, so there are only a few simple words after turning over and over again: a mixture of rotting corpses, stinky eggs in the sun, and the stinky farts of the beeman, and then magnified dozens of times, it is almost a stinky cloud The taste of art.

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Wei, but even Janet couldn't help but move further away from that guy.

At the same time, they can also understand why all the enemies who got hit look so uncomfortable. Even demons can't bear this smell!

After solemnly instructing his subordinates again, Li Wei decided to prepare more antidote next time, after all, this thing cannot distinguish between the enemy and us.

In other words, if you can finish learning the magic at hand, you can also see if there is any targeted protective magic. Since there are elements such as earth, fire, water, and wind, it can be inferred that there should be anti-virus magic, right?
After cleaning the battlefield, they continued towards their destination, and beyond everyone's expectations, the deeper they went into the rocky highlands, the safer the journey became.

Not only did not see many demons, at most a group of dozens of them each time, even the original native wolves here were almost invisible.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Wei feels that this does not necessarily mean a good thing. If so many jackals were created by Hogg and the devil, then there are no jackals now, does it mean that they Finally no longer need to cover up your purpose, and start to summon the demon army with all your strength?
Those Jackals who were sent out to attack the Novice Villages before that time were probably abandoned cannon fodder!

But despite making such guesses, they are temporarily unable to change the status quo, and even the aborigines in the towns may not be able to do anything, because after everyone's discussion, they all think that those floating cities with the appearance of beholders, There is a high probability that they are heading towards several towns of the high elves, and they even guessed the most likely target among them.

After the high elves conquered the undead who originally occupied this place, they re-established three main towns on the bones and ruins, namely Black Castle, Vorag Fortress and Ash Ridge Town, where the Silver Helmet Knight Captain Reiner came from .

Among them, Black Castle is the real political and military center of the Caledor Kingdom in this area, and many people know that there is a pure dragon cemetery there.

The Kingdom of Caledon is the country that is best at taming dragons among the high elves. During the years of war, it is inevitable that various dragons and beasts and even real dragons will die in battle. They have great power in life, even after death. , corpses will not easily rot or be refreshed by the system like ordinary things.

At the same time, because dragon scales, dragon teeth, and dragon bones are all excellent weapons, equipment, and even magic raw materials, many people are full of desire for them, and this is exactly what many dragon knights try to avoid. One's own partners or even brothers naturally would not want to see their bones desecrated after they died in battle.

So under the order of Caledon's dragon prince Imric, they built the dragon cemetery, gave the dragons a home, and sent heavy soldiers to guard it.

It's nothing, but Ocus, the mastermind of this large-scale regional mission, is the most famous demon among demons who is good at making undead. He has no reason not to be interested in the dragon bones in Castle Black!
Especially since the Dragon Prince had just lost both sides with the Legend of the Dark Elf, this is simply a godsend opportunity!
Even Li Wei suspected that the reason why the legend of the dark elf was able to hit the Dragon Prince so smoothly was probably Orcas' trick behind it. Otherwise, how could he summon the power of the Abyssal Demon God so coincidentally?
Since there is already direct evidence that he drove the King of Gnolls and King of Ghouls, it is not impossible to have one more.

If ordinary demons only have the desire to kill and destroy in their minds, but since he can become the lord of the bottomless abyss, and even Orcus, one of the three giants of the abyssal demon god, he is definitely not a brainless idiot. The vast majority of people are far smarter.

Thinking of this, Janet had already flown back to report to Li Wei, saying that Julia and the others had discovered that two teams were fighting in front of them, one of which was evil ghouls, and the other were gnolls.

In order to avoid alarming the enemy, Julia and the horse thieves are currently observing in the dark without taking any action.

Li Wei suddenly became interested. Could it be the witch Tiwa and the end of the world Chen Zhui?He hadn't arrived at the place yet, so he didn't use the previous communication scroll, and he didn't expect to run into them here.

There's nothing else to say, of course, to join the battle immediately, give those ghouls a hard time, and let the two gnolls know that they are not easy to mess with!
