Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 408 Ratman Lair
After retching for a long time, Wang Jerry finally pulled himself together. Amid Wang Tom's snickering, he took out a gas mask he didn't know where he got it, and jumped down resolutely.

Li Wei couldn't help but nodded secretly. At the critical moment, this guy was still a bit ruthless.

Perhaps after today's affairs are over, they can also date for a long time in the future.

The Ratman's frontal combat effectiveness is indeed weak, but they are good at underground threats, and they can still play a good sneak attack effect in many cases.

With the joint efforts of the two parties, the ratman guards here were quickly killed. Wang Jerry began to look for the wealth he wanted, while Li Wei kept in touch with Khalida and asked his subordinates to be more vigilant.

At this critical moment, accidents are most likely to happen.

But Wang Jerui probably figured it out, he didn't make any trouble, quickly collected a lot of information, and found a few big boxes.

Even if it wasn't opened, Li Wei knew it must be a dimension stone when he saw the green light coming out of the gap.

To be honest, he was also somewhat interested in this special material at first.

But after a little deeper understanding, he gave up decisively.

Not only is this stuff usually only used by ratmen who are not afraid of death, and necromancers who are already half-dead, but other people are likely to be polluted by the filthy and evil power in it, and then mutated.

It is also because the purchase, sale and research of dimension stones are expressly prohibited in human beings, dwarves and even the kingdom of elves.

Not even buying or selling is allowed, and it's useless for him to get that thing, which is one of the reasons why he let go of it so easily just now.

The only exception is probably in the province of Weixilie in the Cathaytian Dynasty. The dragon god who ruled there-the god of alchemy and forging-镔龙-Zhaoming, was more interested in this kind of material.

The alchemy master of the Zhendan caravan also said before that they will use this as raw material to try to make alchemy or something.

But he can't go to Cathay in a short time, so he is not in a hurry to get these things.

Then he saw that Wang Jerry was very sensible, and he took the initiative to carry most of them to him, and motioned him to put them away first.

Li Wei was also a little surprised for a while, good guy, he thought it would take him a few words, but he didn't expect the other party's attitude to change so quickly?

But it's okay, everyone is kind, and you can finish your work early and go home early.

So if he reciprocated, he also returned the latest information to the other party.

Just now the scorpion guards found a very special ratman.

The opponent was huge, three to four meters long. For the Ratman, it was too fat, and it almost looked like a ball.

At the same time, it was too dull, it didn't respond at all to the noise and fights around it, it just kept gnawing some flesh and blood fragments there.

Li Wei immediately realized that it should be the breeding mother here.

In the Ratman society, the proportion of female Ratmen is very small, and there will only be one female Ratman among thousands of Ratmen.

Such a precious female rat man, while becoming their reproductive tool, has also become the most important property of the rat man tribe as a matter of course.

In a sense, they have almost the same meaning as the queen of bee colonies and ant colonies.

Only with reproductive female rats can a qualified ratman clan be truly established and continuously produce all kinds of ratman cannon fodder.

At the same time, it is said that among many clans, the opportunity to mate with it is regarded as a major reward.

And most ordinary rat people can only be single rats for a lifetime.

It's just that these reproductive females usually give birth non-stop except for eating and drinking. Not only are they super fat, they basically have no brains at all.

Among the aborigines of the rat people, such female rat people like Wang Tom, who are not only thin and exquisite, but also quite cute, and even know how to fight, do not exist at all.

Only after owning the reproductive female mouse, is it possible for Wang Jerry to start anew and establish a new ratman clan.

This can be regarded as a little incentive for him. So far, all those who sincerely cooperate with him have not suffered a disadvantage.

Hearing this, Wang Jerui was really overjoyed. He couldn't find it after searching for a long time just now, but he didn't expect to get the information from Li Wei.

After a rare thank you to Li Wei, he immediately started to get busy.

Li Wei was a little puzzled at first, how could Wang Jerry and the others get rid of such a big guy who was fatter and clumsier than a pig?

After all, they still have to go to the old den of the Silver Blood Army, and there is still some danger in taking it with them.

Just as he was thinking, he saw He Mao jumping down while enduring the pungent stench.

Then he didn't know what trick he used, and directly turned the opponent into a phantom, which was stored in a scroll.

Noticing Li Wei's gaze, He Mao chuckled: "This is the spoils of war after I killed a flower and bird roll. It can store a living creature that is not as strong as mine in a short time."

"Oh, by the way, the Flower and Bird Scroll is called by Ni Peng. If you translate it, it probably means the demon in the painting. Almost everything on Ni Peng's side can become a demon."

Li Wei nodded. After passing Lilith's information and a general understanding on the forum, he actually had a bit of contempt for the Nibon Gods and the many arms under his command.

But now it seems that they still have some special moves, and they should not be underestimated.

Then he didn't say a word, just looked at each other straight.

He Mao was a little confused for a while, but Wang Tom who was next to him immediately understood what was going on. Compared with her brother, she seemed to be quiet, but she was actually more clever.

Compared with those dimensional stones, Li Wei obviously thinks that this reproductive mother mouse is more valuable and more worthy of being used as a guarantee.

So she immediately signaled Wang Jerry with her eyes.

If it was a few minutes ago, Wang Jerry would definitely be angry because of this, but now that he has some ideas in his mind, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked He Mao to hand over the things to Li Wei.

Lao Tzu said: If you want to take it, you must give it. Now is a good time for both parties to build trust.

Li Wei was also a little surprised at first, but soon he probably understood what the other party meant. He must have taken a fancy to something on him, and most of them were Death Guards.

After all, constructs are very qualified cannon fodder for most races.

Not to mention that I still have several types in my hand, including those in the sky, on land, and in caves, and the only thing that is good at water warfare is the model.

With this awareness, the atmosphere between the two parties became more and more harmonious.

So when the armory of the corrupt clan was discovered, Li Wei didn't reach out to the military weapons inside.

Not to mention most of them are tattered. The remaining weapons and armors are obviously made according to the size of Stormrat. For dwarves and elves, they are basically useless except for remaking them.

Non-magical items that do not automatically adapt to the size of the wearer.

If he had simply come to encircle and suppress the Ratman this time, what he got would really disappoint him.

So he was very generous and signaled to the other party to keep them all.

Since they didn't have many things at first, Wang Jerui and the others quickly finished moving.

In the end, by coincidence, they found about two hundred gold coins. It is estimated that humans or dwarves came to take risks in the past, and then they were killed by the rat people.

This time, Wang Jerry was very generous and handed it over to Li Wei directly.

Although theoretically, even if the Ratmen didn't need it, he could have given it to He Mao to use, but Li Wei had been standing here for a long time, and he was really embarrassed to let the other party go away empty-handed.

Li Wei was not too polite, he took the money with peace of mind.

Then, in a small treasure chest, Wang Jerry found some confidential documents. After reading them, he couldn't help frowning, and suddenly realized.

Then he also handed it over to Li Wei.

After reading it, Li Wei realized that the rat people were not completely fooled by the silver blood army.

Because there is no dark area under these mountains, the bottom is all solid, and it was originally purely due to the hard work of the rat people for many years.

Without the Underdark, they would naturally lose a very important source of food.

Because the ratmen in other places, except for a very small amount of planting and a small amount of hunting, most of their remaining food is obtained through stealing and plundering through the Underdark, going to the bottom of races such as dwarves and humans.

But now their neighbors are either the Silver Blood Army or Khalida. In theory, they all belong to the undead race, and mummies and skeletons can't support ratmen.

It is very difficult for them to obtain food usually, and they often need to travel hundreds of miles to go to the seaside to catch some fish secretly, or steal something from the human village in the northeast, so the strength of the corrupt clan in the past is far from what it is now. many.

The reason for the short-term eruption is completely unknown. A few days ago, a large number of beastmen suddenly migrated, and then they were ambushed by them, eating a wave of fat.

Most of the experimental products below are from this source.

Li Wei knew that this must be because of the call initiated by Malar, and as a result, all the beastmen in this direction were cheap and corrupted the clan.

But in the past few days, the relocated beastmen have gradually disappeared. Seeing that they will soon return to the original hard life, the rat people naturally feel very uncomfortable.

Although the mouse is short-sighted, as the leader of the corrupt clan here, with the support of legal troops such as the Ratman Prophet, it is still a big issue related to food, and they are not that stupid.

This time the Ratmen also wanted to take advantage of the abundance of food and rush out of this barren land to gain a wider space outside.

Even without Khalida's expedition, they originally planned to attack, but they might not join forces with the Silver Blood Army.

Under Kalida's pressure, they and the Silver Blood Army are temporary allies, but they are not really close friends.

In the past, they also stole each other's things. When those vampires lacked skeleton soldiers and zombies, they would also sneakily hunt some ratmen.

Anyway, as long as it is a complete corpse, they can use it, so they don't care too much.

Khalida's unexpected appearance this time disrupted the Rat People's plan a little bit. When the Silver Blood Army proposed to join forces, the Rat People agreed.

If Wang Jerry suddenly realized it, Li Wei was full of emotions. The luck of these big mice is really bad.

Had it not been for his presence, Khalida might still be trapped in the Temple of Bone and bled, and their plan is entirely possible to succeed.

Those generals may be strong, but when Khalida is not around, they are absolutely impossible to launch a large-scale expedition.

If they could get to the Resentment Peak, with the strength shown by the Ratmen before, there would be too many ways to obtain food.

It's a pity, just such a day or two of effort is enough to change a lot of things.

Now that Khalida has returned, they, too, are doomed.

After casually returning the information to the other party, Wang Jerui handed it to He Mao and the others as a matter of reading a story.

But when he turned his head and saw the remaining transformed beastmen and the blood and filth all over the ground, Wang Jerry hesitated a little.

He just looked at Li Wei tentatively: "Do you want me to burn it all?"

"Don't search anymore? Apart from the corrupted clan's own stuff, other clan leaders, Ratman Prophet, and Stormrat should all have some personal belongings, right?"

Wang Jerry waved his hand: "Hey, don't mention it, those poor ghosts, what they hide is basically only food."

"The Rat Man Prophet may have something, but basically it will only be placed in the space ring. Even if it dies, it will be difficult for us to really get it."

Things like space rings and space backpacks don't really create a small space out of thin air, but use magic to find a small space without an owner outside the main world.

The space ring is more like a key or password, used to open or link that special space, and prevent others from finding it again.

It’s fine if it’s an unbound space ring, and it can be traded normally, but if their owner is a legal system, they will basically choose to bind the ring with their own blood and spirit.

When the owner hangs up, it is basically equivalent to losing the key. It is not an ordinary difficulty to find that space again.

So in most cases, even if you kill the enemy hero or God's Chosen Hero, you can only get a few items dropped by the opponent, but it is difficult to get all the things in the space ring.

Of course, for special forces such as the Fortune Church, they are better at this aspect, and there are still many differences.

Li Wei nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, let my subordinates set off this crucial fire."

Subconsciously, Wang Jerry wanted to ask questions, because apart from those huntresses, he didn't see how many subordinates Li Wei had with him.

But before he could speak, as the ground shook slightly, a large number of people had already arrived at full speed.

There are not only Li Wei's subordinates, but also more guards of the gods, knights of the cemetery, and so on.

As for the leader who rides a special type of leather snake, wears a golden mask, and holds a poisonous snake spear, who else can it be if it is not Khalida?

Wang Jerui suddenly realized that Khalida must have defeated the army of the corrupt clan!

Tom Wang and He Mao were also a little nervous, they approached Li Wei subconsciously, and were even ready to run away at any time.

Because to be honest, so far, this transaction is still limited between them and Li Wei, and they are temporarily unable to determine whether Khalida will have the same attitude.

But in the next moment, Khalida's performance made them look at Li Wei differently again.

She just nodded lightly: "Li Wei, are they the Ratman God's Chosen Heroes you mentioned who are willing to cooperate with us?"

"Don't worry, as long as you can really do this well, I will not only forgive your humble lives, but also give you some rewards."

Although Khalida's tone was not very good, Wang Jerui and the others were still relieved.

Khalida, a legendary hero and one of the Tomb Kings known for keeping her promises, hadn't been able to deceive them, and now her life was saved.

"No problem, we'll lead the way!"

Wang Jerry whistled, and out of nowhere a rat-man hero with a night-running rat jumped out, leading the way first.

Li Wei chuckled and didn't feel any surprise.

The other party seemed to be manipulated by him, but in fact he always had some confidence. The reason why his mood eased later was because he didn't push the other party too far.

And this may not be the opponent's full strength. The two god-chosen heroes, brother and sister, have monopolized this place for so long, how could it be possible that they didn't point their cards?

But these are irrelevant for the time being, the other party has decided to cooperate with him, Khalida has also successfully reconciled, and the other party can't make any waves.

As soon as he turned his head, he asked Sally, Sefa and the others to set fire to the Ratman's lair to thoroughly clean up the filth here.

It's been a while since Sally broke through to Tier 6, so it's better to help her break through to Tier 7 as soon as possible, and then become a hero unit.

Perhaps in terms of pure personal combat power, the 7th-level troops are better than almost all heroes below the 10th level. After being transformed into a hero, Sally's strength may not increase but decrease in a short period of time.

But the key to heroes lies in growth, not to mention the opening of the level cap. They can also be equipped with more equipment, learn more skills, and may command troops to fight. This is something that ordinary 7th-tier units cannot do. arrived.

Speaking of which, Li Wei also quietly asked Lilith recently that it is also possible for a battle hero like Elegy to be transformed into a battle hero and then command the troops.

For mortals, this is an almost insurmountable abyss, but for the gods, it is nothing more than a problem that can be easily solved by spending a little bit of divine power.

Although I didn't say it explicitly, because for Lilith, this trivial matter is not worth mentioning at all.

But Li Wei believes that after the matter of the Silver Blood Army is over, she should be able to help Elegy solve this problem generously when she is in a good mood.

After a little bit of testing, Elegy was also very pleasantly surprised by this.

She has always been committed to competing with her best friend Donna, but because she is a fighting hero, the competition has always been very unfair. If this situation can be changed, they can be considered to be barely on the same starting line at last. It is their own efforts.

It's a pity that Alduin, who is also a battle hero, is a salty fish. He is not interested in commanding troops at all, and only likes to fight at the forefront all the time.

But Li Wei has also decided that if Lilith can change Alduin, then he will definitely arrange troops for the other party as soon as possible.

Whether he likes it or not, he must take this responsibility!
Looking back, seeing thick smoke billowing in the cave, like a miniature volcano for a while, Wang Jerry and Wang Tom looked at each other, feeling a little bit emotional in their hearts.

Although the time they spent here was not so happy, they were busy fighting wits and bravery with those little-bellied but evil rat-man prophets and rat-man leaders almost all day long.

But no matter what, after all, they stayed here for so many days, so they felt a little lost for a while, because they were confused about the future.

Seeing this, Li Wei couldn't help coming over and asked if they had a suitable place to go.

The answer was as he expected, no at all.

Because the intelligent races in the main world have been multiplying for more than a thousand years, until now, all the plain areas that are slightly better and suitable for living are basically occupied by intelligent races such as humans.

The dwarves occupy the mountains and a large amount of minerals, the wood elves occupy the forest, and the lizardmen and Amazons occupy the rainforest.

Other small races such as halflings and gnomes basically form alliances with the above-mentioned races, or simply hug their thighs and survive in the cracks.

Those that were relatively bad were snatched by greenskins and ogres.

Special terrains such as volcanoes and oceans are often robbed by the corresponding special races.

Only the most barren and harsh places will be the turn of races such as undead and rat people.

As for demons and beastmen, they don't know where they are hiding in the world, being chased and beaten by other races all day long.

From this resource allocation, their status can also be roughly seen.

No way, although within the lawful camp, due to differences in race, power, and gods they believe in, they will often fight with each other, but in the main world, the lawful camp still holds the upper hand.

As long as you don't encounter the invasion of evil forces from other worlds such as demons and devils, green skins and ratmen, it is basically difficult to have a chance to stand up.

In fact, this is the purpose of most gods.

Except for a few evil gods such as Prince of Lies Cyric, the beliefs of most gods can only develop better when the society is stable.

So after Wang Jerui and the others left this place, there was really nowhere to go for a while.

Seeing this, Li Wei couldn't help laughing: "How about going to Bafeng Mountain?"

Judging from the recent information from Mikaela, he should not have the energy to go to Bafeng Mountain for the time being.

Because the battle between the coalition forces of the high elves, sea elves, and wing elves, and the sahuagin and the pirates under the sea queen's command has gradually heated up.

The god of the sea elves is the leader of the dreamers of the sea. Coupled with the past hatred, the loka murlocs, snail sea people, seal spirits, wise dolphins, naga and mermaids, etc., are kind and lawful races. They joined the battle together and besieged the sahuagin.

Recently, the sahuagin side has fallen into a serious disadvantage, and they are besieged by gang fights almost everywhere they go.

No way, they resemble sharks in appearance and personality, but they are actually far more ferocious than sharks in the sea, and they hardly have any allies at all.

However, the Sea Queen's side did not sit still. According to intelligence, the dark elves across the sea from the colony have been very restless recently.

They seem to have received some reinforcements and intend to join forces with the sahuagin.

This is also understandable. After all, if they have been sitting idly by, after the coalition forces defeat the sahuagin, it is entirely possible to take advantage of the situation and give them a wave of ruthlessness.

Therefore, the Dragon Prince, Mikaela and others concluded that a big melee is likely to break out next.

In this case, no matter what, Li Wei had to participate.

But in the treasure house of Bafeng Mountain, there is one of the nine volumes of Nagash that he is determined to obtain, so he must plan ahead.

Of course, it is impossible for him to fully rely on the other party. This is just an idle move. It is naturally best to have a result, but it doesn't matter if you get nothing.

Because his focus is mainly on Chen Zhui in the last days, after the failure of Ma La's plan, he has recently begun to move in that direction.

Compared with Wang Jerry, Chen Zhui in the last days is undoubtedly much stronger in terms of friendship with Li Wei, personal strength, wisdom and experience.

Wang Jerui has always nestled around here, but Chen Zhui can be regarded as traveling all over the world and has a lot of experience.

Wang Jerry's eyes lit up immediately: "Are you also interested in the treasure house of Bafeng Mountain?"

Li Wei chuckled: "In the main world, who is not interested in it?"

The treasure house of Bafeng Mountain is a treasure house sealed up by the dwarves in their most glorious heyday.

In addition to a large number of precious materials and various sophisticated equipment that must exist, there is also a great possibility that there are some special constructs-rune golems.

Think about it, Li Wei got some low and mid-level rune equipment casually before, and they have been used by Elegy and others until now.

Every runesmith is also considered a treasure within the dwarves' respective kingdoms and clans.

If the whole body is covered with runes, and then made of precious and strong meteorite, how strong can those rune golems be?
Legend has it that the most powerful rune golem has the ability to easily cut off the limbs of a dragon in a frontal duel, and even win the battle.

Although based on the dwarves' habit of bragging, this thing must have a lot of moisture.

But since they dare to boast like this, no matter how bad the rune golem is, it won't be too outrageous.

Li Wei feels that even if there is no 7th order, there will definitely be 5th and 6th order.

Wang Jerui smiled, and found a common topic at this moment.

In fact, it's not that he hasn't thought about this before, but the competition on Bafeng Mountain is too fierce.

It doesn't matter if there are tens of thousands of multi-party troops, there are more than one legendary hero of each race.

In particular, there is also a legendary ratman known as the "Bafeng Mountain God of War"-Headhunter-Quick.

Among the rat people who are generally inclined to sneak attacks and various intrigues, this Quick is undoubtedly the oddity among the oddities.

Because it advocates heads-up very much, and its record is quite brilliant.

Basically in the area of ​​Bafeng Mountain, all the goblin warriors, troll leaders, or green-skinned warlords who had fought against it were all killed by it.

According to known information, so far, its winning rate is [-]%.

Of course, the one-on-one confrontation of the Ratman is slightly different from the cognition of humans or elves.

Quake usually tends to send a large amount of cannon fodder first to consume the target's stamina and mana, etc., and then engage in a decisive battle.

But even so, as a rat man who can do this, it is definitely a special case among millions, or even tens of millions of rats.

And although its place of fame is Bafeng Mountain, its record is not limited to there.

It has more or less fought against ratmen, humans, beastmen, wood elves, etc.

Based on the cunning of the Ratman's nature and its great strength, it hasn't suffered any big losses so far.

In addition, the Moss clan, which is known as the fifth clan after the four major clans of the Ratman, is also a special case.

Because it is the only one, the clan does not have to worry about the conspiracy and assassination from subordinates, colleagues or superiors all day long, and the members of the clan have rare loyalty and unity.

Therefore, it also attracted the interest of a considerable number of Ratman God's Choice Heroes.

They chose the Ratman for various reasons before, but most of them were tired of the frequent infighting. The Moss clan and Quek would undoubtedly be very suitable for them.

As for the other lower level of infighting, it was the Assassin Clan - the Aixin Clan.

Because those who can become the leader of assassins will only be more proficient in assassination and various conspiracies and tricks. The strength of high-level ratman assassins must also be stronger than low-level ones.

The Ratmen of their entire clan knew this, so they would not easily risk their lives.

In short, under such circumstances, even if he really went, he would have to compete or fight with at least hundreds of God's Chosen heroes, so there was really no advantage at all.

But now that Li Wei said this, it must have some special meaning, if you can get his help
Seeing the other party's appearance, Li Wei was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Wang Jerry, who had been acting very reckless before, was unexpectedly sharp at this moment.

The two sides looked at each other, and they both knew that the other side wanted something and the other side had something they needed, so they didn't talk nonsense, just got together and muttered in a low voice.

After a few minutes, they reached a result that satisfied both parties.

For Wang Jerry, not only has he obtained a place where he can stabilize supplies - the black iron mine, but he may also obtain various types of death guards from Li Wei, which greatly strengthens the ability of their troops to fight tough battles.

For Li Wei, if he wants to go to Bafeng Mountain in the future, he may also have a new helper.

And the other party's use of his own death guard can be regarded as helping him to promote in disguise.

Even if Khalida is currently very interested in Death Guard, if she wants to develop for a long time, she can't be completely expected to pay for it alone.

After this matter was settled, Li Wei finally had time to ask Cindy, Elegy and others what happened after he left.

Although the monitoring archon is also constantly reporting the situation to him, but usually there are only a few extremely short and concise words, which is definitely not as good as this kind of face-to-face communication.

Then he found that there were not too many accidents. It was nothing more than that at the last moment, several hero-level ratmen, with their own personal guards, and a few giant rats in the nest that Wang Jerry mentioned before, went to Khalida together. The assault was launched.

Then they were all killed by Khalida cleanly.

Facts have proved that even though she may not be in full bloom now, as a legendary hero, she is definitely not something that ordinary enemies can threaten.

Having said that, Elegy is also full of admiration.

Only a real fighter can see how well-trained the opponent's seemingly ordinary martial arts are.

However, those nest fear rats deserve extra attention.

Because they have a minimum level of 5, and they are huge and powerful, and they can easily hit a large number of troops with a random charge.

Whether it is Kalida's jackal guards or the graveyard knights, it is difficult to resist this kind of attack.

As for the silver light guards and celestial creatures under Li Wei's command, their performance is also not good, and may even be worse.

The opponent's ability to break the formation is extremely strong, after all, it is a giant monster nearly ten meters long.

At the same time, like ghouls, they can not only restore life by devouring corpses on the battlefield, but also have a strong ability to continue fighting.

Although the attack power and attack speed are relatively weaker, it may be a little bit less interesting for powerful races such as high elves or humans.

But for the Ratmen, they are definitely very powerful beasts of war.

Coupled with the wolf rats, rat trolls, and those transformed beastmen, etc., they all thought that even if the ratmen here were wiped out, the ratmen might not be easily eliminated.

After all, this is just an important stronghold of the corrupt clan, but it is not the only stronghold.

They have already mastered the relevant technologies and materials. As long as the resources are sufficient and it takes a certain amount of time, it is entirely possible for them to create new ones elsewhere.
