Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 389 Special Rat Man

Due to the rampage of the Beastmen, even if they joined forces, the journey ahead would not be peaceful.

And the closer to the destination, the more difficult the road is.

But fortunately, the caravan has traveled many times, and they are very familiar with the terrain, and Li Wei and the others are strong enough, so the problem is not too big.

At the same time, at the cost of the magic flying carpet and a few magic items, Li Wei also obtained a few metal magics from the caravan mage very smoothly.

According to the other party, he is a special legal profession of Zhendan - alchemy master, killing enemies is not his specialty, he is really good at refining various pills.

He even said that he had personally participated in the alchemy contest held by the god of forging and metal, Binglong-Zhaoming, among the dragon gods of Cathay.

The god of forging is also the guardian of the road of long teeth, and the dragon god who is responsible for communicating with the ogre kingdom.

It is said that there are thousands of ogres as hired warriors in the province of Wessilia under his command.

If Li Wei were to march eastward in the future, he would have to deal with him.

He is also the dragon god that the people of Zhendan are most likely to meet in person, because he likes to exchange experience in alchemy, metallurgy, forging, etc. with humans.

However, he also caused a little dissatisfaction among the other dragon gods, because when he was forging, he showed too much enthusiasm for the dimension stone.

That kind of evil material is usually mainly produced in the bottomless abyss of demons, or in the nine hells of Bator of the demons.

At the same time, he is also one of the dragon gods who are very supported by the soldiers and civilians under his command. When he is in a good mood or the foreign war is going well, he may even drink with dragon descendants or generals for fun.

It's a pity that along the way, the alchemist has almost used up all the pills, and there is no way to show them to Li Wei.

There are three types of magic given to Li Wei by Master Danding: Molten Molten, Rust Plague, and Shining Robe.

They all use special metal elements to attack, reduce the defense of enemies wearing metal armor, and increase the defense of friendly troops.

Their level is not high, but the advantage is that they are extremely practical. Master Dan Ding mainly uses these three magic tricks, but they are enough for him to deal with most of the enemies he encounters on the road.

It was this time that the Beastmen not only carried out a sneak attack, but also had a large number of harpies and a few manticores as the air force. Caught off guard, although they fought back desperately and killed all the opponent's air force, they suffered heavy losses as a result.

Most of the Cathay caravans rarely have an air force. If they cannot detect the opponent in advance and stop them with long-range attacks, they will easily fall into a passive position.

In other words, this also applies to many factions or races whose main output is remote, such as humans, elves, and so on.

So even if the leader of the caravan sighed, it really wasn't too unfair for them to lose this time.

Moving on, when they got near the Resentment Peak, the leader of the caravan apologized to Li Wei, saying that for the sake of safety, they planned to take a detour, so that although it would take more time, it would be safer.

Li Wei can also understand, because this caravan has fought more than once all the way west.

The main reason is that there is a big melee in the ogre kingdom. Many legendary ogres launched a ruthless attack, and the generals under their hands also went crazy.

Otherwise, in their heyday, they could actually handle today's Beastman troops.

Without a certain strength, how dare they cross thousands of miles to conduct trade?

Now there are only two hundred or so caravan guards left. Even if they have themselves as a support, they don't want too many casualties.

It's a pity that even if they were cautious all the way, they still couldn't completely avoid the danger.

Seeing that she was about to leave the area of ​​Resentment Peak, Luna sent a warning to Li Wei, saying that there were ratmen in the jungle ahead and seemed to be preparing to ambush them.

Since the Ratmen were good at ambushes and cunning by nature, they sent a large number of sentries, and there were also some wolf-like giant rats as scouts, so they didn't dare to get too close.

However, it is roughly estimated that there must be at least two thousand ratmen in the forest that stretches for five or six miles.

The leader of the caravan immediately turned pale. There is no need to doubt the Ratman of this size. There must be high-level troops and hero units among them.

After seeing Li Wei's strength and being told that there are reinforcements in the sky, he didn't doubt whether he could survive the fight, but even if he won, his caravan would definitely suffer losses.

Because the Ratmen have never been a race that likes to fight head-on, they just like all kinds of sneak attacks, and they are especially good at digging burrows, which they call "underground threats".

Thinking of this, the caravan leader felt a little restless.

Because the area under his feet is all soft ground, who knows if those despicable ratmen have already prepared for this in advance?
Li Wei was not in a hurry to speak, he was just a guard for the time being, and it depended on what the other party said.

Otherwise, if he listened to him and a fight really broke out, and the caravan suffered losses, would he pay or not?

Even if he can lose money, how can he pay for the lives of those dead guards?

Speaking of which, he had only heard that the Ratmen were annoying and would frequently use kite tactics.

And they are the same as brown sugar, they run away after hitting, and come back to fight again later. They are full of toughness, and they often annoy the enemy.

But in fact, he has never fought a large-scale ratman, and this time he may be able to see the opponent's strength for himself.

Fortunately, the leader of the caravan was well-informed, and he immediately knew that this battle was inevitable.

Because if there is another detour, it may not be possible to reach Lamia before dark, and the danger at night is completely different from that during the day.

So he immediately asked Li Wei for help, whether there was a way to restrain the opponent from punching holes.

Naturally, there is a way. Li Weida can turn mud into stone and turn the surrounding ground into hard rock.

According to Li Wei's current strength, these rocks will be about two meters thick.

Most of the ratmen's holes were made with their own minions and rough and crude tools. It was not easy for ordinary ratmen to penetrate this layer of rock.

Even if the scroll is handed over to the mage of the caravan, he can at least produce a rock more than half a meter thick, which is almost enough.

But don't be too careless, logically speaking, the Ratmen in the vicinity are not good at all, but now they can gather so many.

If they hadn't deliberately gathered a wave of troops, there might be ratmen from outside.

For example, God's Chosen Hero passing by or something.

The leader of the caravan did not think of this for the time being. After Li Wei performed a demonstration of magic, he couldn't help but sneered. He could already imagine the expressions of those ratmen later.

He immediately asked Li Wei for help again, and fought back here, otherwise they would not be safe until they arrived in Lamia.

Li Wei naturally had no objection, so the leader of the caravan quickly issued a series of orders.

First gather all kinds of goods near the enchanted area, the only guards are also gathered together, and the formation of the three inner floors and the outer three floors looks decent.

Seeing this, Li Wei couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. He was obviously just a caravan leader, but he didn't just know how to sell goods.

But the emotion is emotion, it did not delay his work, he let the troops defend around the caravan, and at the same time infused Xiao Qi with magic such as fireball.

I burned the enemy once last time, can I repeat the trick this time?
Hearing Li Wei's plan, both Sally and Saifa became interested, but whoever is a fire mage has never dreamed of burning thousands of troops with a wave of his hand?

So when the caravan was almost ready and the silver light guards were also in formation, they took the flying carpet and flew towards the direction of the Rat Man with Li Wei.

First, the caravan stagnated, and then a few mages flew over. The Ratmen also felt that something was wrong. Their ambush may have been detected by the enemy!

Then, accompanied by a slightly sharp cry, hundreds of thousands of "squeak" voices responded in unison.

At the same time, the condescending Li Wei also discovered that, just like Luna said, there might really be more than [-] ratmen in this jungle.

Unfortunately, they wake up too late!

With a soft shout, several fireballs flew out at the same time, and exploded in the jungle.

The power of magic instantly ignited the forest that was not easy to ignite. Sefa and Sally first threw a lot of blazing glue, and then summoned several fire elementals at the same time.

Saifa originally didn't know how to do this, but Li Wei wanted her to be his subordinate and partner, so naturally he would not be stingy about it.

Almost instantly, the voices of the Ratmen directly increased several levels, but just now they were responding to orders, but now they were due to pain, panic, and even fear.

At the critical moment, a slightly manic male voice finally rang out: "Damn it, just charge forward and get out of the woods. The one who goes out first, Mr. Jerry, I will reward it with a Dimensional Stone!"

Then came a female voice: "I have taken care of the supervisory team, and all those who retreat will be executed!"

Under their encouragement and threats, although the rat people were still screaming, they quickly endured the pain and launched a charge, which seemed to be amazing for a while.

But Li Wei couldn't help but instantly understood that ordinary Ratmen would not set up a supervisory team or something, because in the event of an unfavorable battle, those supervisory teams would be the first to choose to escape.

And Jerry, don't know where Tom is?The opponents are obviously God's Chosen Heroes.

So out of caution, he took Sepha and Sally back a little.

Although he thinks that at this stage, there should be no God's Chosen hero who is higher in level or stronger than himself, but the characteristics of each race are different, and no one knows whether the other party will have any special moves.

Sure enough, almost immediately after they retreated tens of meters, a green whirlwind that looked full of filth appeared out of thin air, followed by lightning of the same color crackling.

If they still stay where they are, they are afraid that they will be recruited.

Sepha was also a little surprised: "This is the destruction magic of the Ratman. Is there a Ratman prophet among the other party?"

As a type of Beastmen, the Ratmen certainly couldn't have a systematic magical inheritance like humans or elves.

But after countless years of hard work and the help of the power of the dimension stone, they still have their own spell system.

On the surface, it looks like wind or lightning, but in fact it may be mixed with plague, toxin and so on.

Compared with conventional magic, their damage may not be very high, but in terms of disgusting people, they have never fallen behind.

Li Wei nodded slightly, and then waved his hand to indicate that the two of them can retreat. The fire attack has been successful, and then they should retreat to their own front.

As long as the rat people come out of the forest, we have plenty of ways to deal with them.

As for himself, he stayed behind.

If the opponent is a hero chosen by God, it may be more difficult to deal with than the aborigines, not in terms of combat power, but the opponent's brain.

So in order to end this fight as quickly as possible, he may need to act a little bit.
So he first threw down two walls of fire to intercept some of the Ratmen, and then released the Crown of Radiance, wanting to see its effect in actual combat.

Then he discovered that although this thing can almost attack the enemy at 720 degrees without a dead angle, its range is very limited.And the odds are pretty bad.

It was enough to deal with ordinary slave rats and clan rats. Some were blinded on the spot and ran all over the ground in panic, while others fainted to the ground without responding even if they were burned by the flames.

But the stronger Ratmen are less likely to be affected.

Fortunately, during the duration of this skill, a judgment will be generated every few seconds, and he does not need to control it, which is barely acceptable.

Then he threw out a rainbow magic eye, but seeing the rainbow-like eyes shining continuously, for a while, fire, acid, lightning, toxin, freezing, petrification, and spiritual ray attacks continued one after another.

The ratmen around were also dyed in different colors, and the unlucky ones were hit by multiple rays at the same time, turning into corpses on the spot.

After two consecutive moves, although the number of enemies killed was not obvious yet, the chaos caused was not small, and the Ratmen trying to rush out of the forest were obviously delayed.

The male rat man suddenly became a little annoyed: "Damn it, I know him, he is that Levi!"

Although in this game, there are no ranks or occupations for the time being, but Li Wei, who has been in the limelight a lot, has already been known by many people.

They originally just wanted to rob Zhendan's caravan, but they didn't expect to provoke such a stubborn person.

No matter whether you win or lose, I am afraid that you will lose a lot in the end.

But the female Ratman was not surprised but delighted: "Don't worry, his troops must be insufficient, or not well prepared, otherwise he wouldn't be here by himself trying to delay us!"

The male Ratman looked at it and thought, isn't it? Except for the initial fireball, Li Wei's powerful offensive magic is useless at all. He must be delaying time!

So he also became ruthless: "Damn, if this is the case, then don't blame me, you can always fly in the sky, I have nothing to do with you, but your caravan is not going to be saved!"

Saying this, he kept whistling, and then used several magic scrolls again and again, apparently bleeding a little.

Then Li Wei found that there was a roar of ferocious beasts in the forest, and soon many burning trees were pushed to the ground abruptly.

Li Wei was also a little surprised. Ratmen have always been known for their numbers and despicableness. They don't have any powerful and fast monster-type units.

I've heard before that the rotting clan among the four major clans of the rat people likes and is good at breeding war beasts through hybridization.

It's just that most of those war beasts are low in strength and extremely unstable, and they will eat them back at every turn, so they are not really taken seriously by people.

The known successful cases so far are probably that they once used wild wolves, ratmen and rats to breed monsters called wolf rats.

Could it be that they have made new achievements this time?Then I'll have to take a closer look.

While waving his hand to release more wall of fire spells, it seems that he stayed here really to delay the Ratman, and Li Wei sent a message to Luna, telling her to prepare to outflank.

The Ratman is too good at running away, so she needs to be more careful in order not to be disturbed by the other party on the road ahead.

In just a few tens of seconds, at least a hundred trees and small trees had been knocked down in the forest, and more than a dozen monsters, which were a head taller than ordinary ogres, had rushed out of the burning forest first.

After seeing the other party's true face clearly, Li Wei became more and more sure of his guess just now.

Because these big guys with muscles all over their bodies and moving forward with their hands and feet look like a combination of trolls, orangutans and ratmen.

And their weapons are also very special, they are some sharp claws or gloves that are full of filth and blood, and also glow with green light, and they are forged from dimension stones at first glance.

This special equipment exuding radiant energy is undoubtedly an evil weapon, which can ignore the damage reduction ability of Li Wei and high-level celestial creatures.

With the naming rules of rat people, maybe they can be called rat trolls?

They didn't even look at Li Wei in the sky, they just went straight to the direction of the caravan.

Li Wei tentatively released a few fireballs, but found that the effect was not satisfactory.

The previous male ratmen should have some kind of special protective magic applied to them, or they themselves have undergone special transformation.

So the flames in the forest didn't affect them much, and they were also more resistant to fireballs.

Even after being attacked by Levi, their wounds are still slowly healing, which is absolutely impossible for ordinary trolls to do.

Because under normal circumstances, fire and acid and so on will inhibit the recovery ability of trolls and so on.

Although he has a way to get rid of these rat trolls, the meaning behind this is different.

Rat people have always been looked down upon by other races, almost as similar to goblins and kobolds.

But now it seems that this may not be the case in fact.

Being able to survive under the encirclement and suppression of many kind and lawful races already represents a certain strength.

The ability to secretly develop these special powers, technology and magic go hand in hand, which shows that their ambitions are absolutely extraordinary.

In the next moment, a few green lights flashed, and Li Wei's big slap was attacked.

Looking at the one-inch-long dimension stone bullet inlaid on it, how can Li Wei not understand that this must be the ratman version of the sniper rifle!

Could it be the Skryre clan who specializes in plagiarism and plagiarism among the four major clans of the Ratman?
No matter when they came up with this kind of thing, but since they dare to use it for the God's Chosen Heroes now, it means that they must have accumulated a considerable amount of power.

For him with a big slap body protector, the threat of this thing is very low, but for crispy skins like Sally and Sefa, it is very likely to be fatal if they are not prepared.

Considering their evil nature, if the Ratman can equip this kind of weapon in large quantities, maybe it won't be long before a catastrophe may erupt in the main world caused by them!
Do you want to ask Lilith if she knows anything about it?

This idea flashed in Li Wei's mind, but his movements were not affected at all. He turned around and flew in the direction of the caravan.

It is possible for him to clean up the other party now, but if he does not let the other party out, how can he see more surprises that may exist?

The two Ratmen in the forest were a little surprised at first, but they didn't expect that the new weapons they finally obtained could not even break through the opponent's defense.

But noticing Li Wei's movements again, they looked at each other, and both of them saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

It seems that even the famous Li Wei can't withstand this kind of attack, otherwise how could he run away?

"Chong Chong Chong, if we can get rid of Li Wei today, we will have something to boast about in the future!"

"Yes, kill him!"

Following the order of the two Ratmen, more Ratmen troops poured out of the forest.

Levi looked back and found that the situation might not be as bad as he thought.

Because apart from the dozen or so rat trolls, 10 to 4 wolf rats, and less than [-] squads of relatively well-equipped Tier [-] storm rats, the rest of the ratman army is still mostly cannon fodder.

There were quite a few low-level Ratmen, even though they barely managed to climb out of the forest, they were burned to death by the burning state of their bodies before they had gone far.

As for those who are still in the forest, I am afraid that many of them have also turned into corpses.

He can even confidently say that even without using summoned creatures, he can easily kill all these miscellaneous soldiers in a short time.

But of course he wouldn't do that, he just flew back to the formation and waited for the opponent, and at the same time sent a signal to Donna.

In this case, in order to protect the safety of the caravan and once and for all, she can take action later.

Soon, large groups of Ratmen surrounded them from all directions.

Although after a round of fire attack, their number has been significantly reduced, but when they saw that their fur was scorched, but their eyes were still red, and they were very fanatical, the caravan leader still couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken. Shen.

It's not like he has seen the Ratman once or twice, but this is the first time he has encountered a Ratman in this state.

And those weird-looking beasts, I've never heard of them before.
But no matter what his mood was, the two sides quickly fought.

For a while, the magic of Cindy, Sally, and Sepha continued to fly out. Although the main targets were those rat trolls, even if it was just the aftermath, they could take the life of more than one low-level rat man each time.

Elegy and Alduin are also on the alert. Although the opponent is a Ratman, they look different, and this time it is an escort mission. If the caravan loses too much, they will not look good.

Many summoned celestial creatures also launched their own attacks.

Since Xiaotian and the supervisors are temporarily staying in the black iron mine, so this time Li Wei mainly summoned, except for auxiliary units such as Linghu Envoy and Winged Snake Love Thorn, the rest are mainly capable of flying and shooting Celestial creature.

Because in addition to legal units, they are easier to kill, survive, and even advance, which will be of greater benefit to Li Wei's understanding of other summoning abilities in the future.

Similarly, the remaining guards of the caravan continued to attack with crossbows and dragon sticks, and the effect was not bad.

Li Wei was also attacked again soon, and then he discovered that the opponent should not be using a sniper rifle, but some kind of special carrying gun.

As the name suggests, it is a few meters long and requires two people to lift it up.

The multi-headed skaven will carry them on the shoulders of their comrades in front of them, and then aim and shoot.

Under their attack, the jade warriors in the caravan who did not hold shields soon suffered many casualties.

This special carrying gun is quite good in terms of range and power.

And once it hits, even if it is lucky not to die on the spot, it will be infected by the dimensional stone bullet and fall into a special poisoning state, even ordinary priests cannot purify it at once.

Fortunately, after Li Wei noticed this, he immediately used his new ability-Sacred Power Cleansing, which can easily remove this effect.

It's just that every time he succeeds, he needs to spend 7 gold coins, which is even much higher than the recruitment price of ordinary Yu Yong.
As the ratmen continued to approach, the two sides soon engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Both Elegy and Alduin rushed to the front line with their own personal guards, easily blocking the swarms of Stormrats.

And as the silver guards waved their spears, the clan rats also fell down one after another, but their attacks were completely unable to break through the defense.

Even Elling Qiufeng, who was originally not outstanding in strength, and the newly joined ogre Leslie, etc., can easily take down the heads of rats.

Li Wei, who was doing nothing but observing the battlefield while preparing to counter the opponent's spells at any time, couldn't help curling his lips when he saw this.

Good guy, the opponent doesn't have any attack or defense points at all, but the light point is on the leader, right?
The caravan side couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed when they saw this. From this point of view, even though there were a lot of opponents, they were actually not worth mentioning.

Their reaction had been expected by the Ratman side. With a sinister smile, the male Ratman sent a signal to some other subordinates.

They chose such an ugly race, and after paying such a heavy price, how could they only have this strength?Don't forget the Ratman's talent!
He just waited for a few seconds, but he didn't see any scene as expected.

The female Ratman next to him couldn't help urging: "Brother, have you sent a signal?"

"This Li Wei is indeed very strong. We have lost a lot of troops. You should let them do it quickly. Let's run after we grab it."

Yes, in fact, even without the unexpected appearance of Li Wei, from the beginning, they did not intend to really wipe out the enemy.

They are Ratmen, they only fight head-on when their brains are sick. Once the enemy is too strong, they run away after grabbing the things, which is the most in line with their behavior.

As long as the things are in hand, it is common for them to kill hundreds of Ratmen, okay?
The male Ratman was also full of surprise, shouldn't he, did he send a signal?

There are not only many Ratmen heroes underground, but also the few giant rats he got recently.

This kind of tactic of internal and external blooming has killed countless enemies in the past, so why is it useless this time?
But Li Wei on the other side couldn't help laughing, because he sensed that the magic he had cast before was being attacked, and the other party really planned to launch an offensive from the ground.

But a rock more than one meter thick is not something these ratmen can easily destroy, and once he notices something is wrong, he can further strengthen it at any time.

Similarly, the caravan mage quickly informed his leader of the news, and the caravan leader heaved a sigh of relief and felt relieved for the time being.

Seeing his appearance, Li Wei couldn't help asking: "Why, didn't you say that you have been on the business road for more than ten years? Why are your emotions still so ups and downs?"

The leader of the caravan couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Although there were endless dangers in the past, they were far from being as difficult as this year. Especially in the past month or so, it seems that suddenly, the entire main world has become chaotic."

"It's good for me. After some caravans go out, they completely cut off the audio. I'm afraid it's more ominous."

So Li Wei didn't say anything more. Isn't it the time for the God's Chosen Heroes to gradually become active in the last month?

At this time, the male Ratman on the other side sent out several signals, but there was still no response. He finally became a little annoyed.

Immediately, he couldn't help but raised his head and shouted angrily: "Li Wei, did you do something wrong? Why is my 'Underground Threat' gone?"

Li Wei was not angry either: "If you want to know the answer, just tell me which clan you these rat trolls and the equipment that attacked me before came from."

The male rat man thought for a while, but it's okay to tell him, anyway, he was not the only one who got these things.

In order to obtain more dimensional stones for their experiments, the two clans sold them openly to dozens of ratman clans, large and small.

Even if he didn't say it himself, Li Wei would soon be able to get this information from other places as long as he put in a little effort.

So he immediately snorted: "Okay, I believe the famous Levi won't lie to me. The rat troll comes from the corrupt clan, and the dimensional sniper rifle comes from the Skryre clan."

Li Wei immediately understood that this was not beyond his expectations.

It's just that the original impression of the Skryre clan was that they could only copy, but they couldn't copy well.

The various war instruments they developed with the Dimensional Stone killed far more Ratmen than the enemies they killed.

Of course, because the Ratmen had enough rat populations and the speed of reproduction was astonishingly fast, a ratman would be an adult at the age of five months, so they didn't care about this.

They only pursue great power, and don't care about side effects at all, which even makes the Skryre clan the head of the four major clans.

But from the perspective of other races, their clan's products are really not that good.

But judging from just now, the range of the dimensional sniper rifle is at least two hundred and thirty meters, and it is not known whether it is its maximum range. This time, the Skrye clan really researched something incredible.

Sighing slightly, Li Wei also answered the other party's question: "It's turning mud into stone."

The male rat man suddenly realized, but the female rat man next to him frowned: "You have already discovered us?"

Li Wei smiled slightly: "The answer is correct, and the next step is my reward for you!"

Even though Li Wei's expression was not visible because of the relatively long distance, the two Ratmen felt bad even just hearing this sentence.

It's a pity that it was too late, before they had time to do anything, there was a sudden shout in the sky, followed by a rain of arrows, instantly nailing a large number of ratmen to the ground.

They looked up subconsciously, and saw above the sky, a large number of sky slayers were on board, a large number of archers were shooting continuously, and dozens of griffins, giant eagles and the like were jumping down from the sky.

At the same time, there was a strange movement behind them. A large number of night elves riding black panthers were wielding moon blades, quickly harvesting the lives of the ratmen.

The male rat man let out a miserable howl, knowing that he was completely defeated this time.

He directly took out a large electric drill more than one meter long with bright green light, dug through the soft soil under his feet in a few strokes, and then got in with somersaults.

The female Ratman also followed in without any hesitation.

Only a slightly dull male voice came out from the ground: "Li Wei, you wait for me, I, Wang Jerry, will not let you go!"

(End of this chapter)
