Long Live the Call of Heroes

After one night, Li Wei led the team to leave the city of Bagh, which was still dilapidated even after emergency repairs.

Queen Rashut naturally also came to see her off, accompanied by 1000 to [-] mummies and skeleton soldiers, some of which belonged to Bagh City itself, and her cats and kittens.

Since she is the grandparent of Lami Zhaqi for countless generations, at this critical moment, she must not be able to accompany Li Wei to the Spider Web Mountain in person, but will stay and guard Bag City.

Originally, she planned to hire some god-chosen heroes to go to Spiderweb Mountain with Li Wei to complete the mission, but Li Wei couldn't trust them.

The fighting power of the heroes chosen by the gods must be much stronger than that of ordinary aborigines, but their lower limit is also much lower.

In the face of benefits and dangers, or simply because of other reasons such as bad mood, they may turn their faces and deny others.

So it's more worry-free to use mummies or something, and those god-chosen heroes should keep the city.

Queen Rashut naturally focused on Li Wei in everything, and she even told Li Wei directly that if the troops she sent were sacrificed to protect Li Wei, then their deaths were not worthless.

In other words, they are all pure cannon fodder, even if there are two heroic priestesses in charge of commanding them.

After going on the road, Li Wei began to study several rewards that Queen Rashut gave him.

The first is the breeding technology of the two scarabs.

The scarab is of great significance to the Tomb Kings, who believe that it is closely related to death, reincarnation and rebirth.

The two documents provide techniques for cultivating tier 1 and tier 2 scarabs. They seem to be weak, but they have extra attack bonuses against undead creatures, and they are thrown into the city's sewers to deal with ordinary ratmen troops. Often works wonders.

Queen Rashut is an expert at dealing with ratmen, and she doesn't just rely on her cats.

If Li Wei is willing to spend money, he can build dozens of breeding farms at the same time, and produce hundreds or thousands of scarabs every day.

But of course he didn't intend to do this, let's leave it to Khalida, he has enough to worry about raising those big dinosaurs.

As for the carving technique of the animal-shaped scarab, depending on the material and the technique of the sculptor, a 3-5 level construct can be created.

The snake girl is similar, the finished product is capped at level 6, but if the craftsmanship is not good, it is possible to produce a level 4 one.

Even if they are of the same class, there may be slight differences in various attributes.

More importantly, unlike using the Nine Scrolls of Nagash to create the Death Guard, this thing has a success rate.

Li Wei spent one night and spent five or six thousand gold coins worth of materials to barely make a team of snake girls. The price can be said to be very high.

Fortunately, Li Wei can be sure that as long as you practice more, the subsequent success rate will also increase rapidly, until it is much cheaper than the market price.

But he doesn't plan to sell it to outsiders. Even if he can't use it up, he can give it to Khaleda at that time, and she will definitely not refuse anyone.

The snake girl's skin is grayish white, and her upper body is similar to that of a human woman. She has six arms and holds multiple scimitars or long swords.

Their own attack power is at the lower level in the same level, but because of the number of arms, they have multiple attack skills and the attack frequency is very fast, so the overall output is also high.

The lower body is like a giant python, usually entangled when standing upright, about 2.7 meters long, and nearly 6 meters from head to tail, almost exactly the same size as the lizard.

This gives them great strength, good armor, and 550 health points, making them a very tough unit.

As a Tier 6 unit, not counting some of the basic common features of constructs, they only have three special skills, not many, but each one is very practical.

One is multiple attacks, and the other is oppressive coiling, they can try to restrain the enemy with their tails, and even suffocate them to death.

The last one is meandering, which, in addition to the ability to adapt to the terrain, also makes their marching speed very fast, almost as fast as the slowest heavy cavalry.

As for the scarab, there is nothing to say, it is just a human shield to resist beating.

Having nothing to do, Li Wei sorted out the information about Spiderweb Mountain provided by Queen Rashut.

The green-skinned boss over there was killed by her, but apart from the large number of giant spiders inside, their strength is not bad. Among them, the Arachnari giant spider is a 6th-order war behemoth.

More importantly, as long as there is an existence related to spiders, it must be difficult to bypass the spider queen-Rose.
At this moment, the surveillance Yakong came to report suddenly, and a small team from Bag City chased after him. Judging by the dress of the other party, they should be some aborigines.

Li Wei was a little puzzled. Could it be that Queen Rashut had a new idea?
But soon Kai Ruilian further confirmed that the opponents were some ancient tomb warriors decorated with giant scorpion patterns, and they were probably followers of the goddess of poisonous scorpions-Selekite.

Sure enough, the other party quickly revealed their true identities, and they were sent by the Scorpion Goddess Church.

Because their goddess had previously ordered that she and Goddess Lilith make good friends, so whenever possible, church members should give the greatest help to the other party's believers.

As for the relationship between Li Wei and Lilith, many people have already heard about it.

But Li Wei immediately understood that this must not be as simple as the other party said.

Maybe Lilith is planning to poach corners.

The Egyptian pantheon is a family-style pantheon, and those who are not connected by blood will be rejected in it, and if the strength is not enough, it will be even more sad.

Previously, Sobek was the most severely targeted because his camp was biased towards evil. Osiris, as the king of gods, would even send his paladins to slaughter the followers of the crocodile.

This is absolutely unprecedented in other god systems.

Even the green-skinned pantheon wouldn't be so outrageous, but Osiris, who claims to be in the lawful and good camp, really did this more than once.

So when Lilith offered an olive branch, Sobek agreed without hesitation, because at that time, under the continuous suppression of Osiris, even his godhood was unstable, and he was about to become a demigod.

Similarly, there are many gods in its pantheon who are oppressed.

For example, because of the grace of the ancient gods, the scorpion in the main world was directly promoted to the goddess of poisonous scorpion-Selekite;

The reason for becoming a god is similar to that of the poisonous scorpion goddess. She is dull and stupid, and she is only the scarab god Kebli who acts as a human shield in many god battles;
And because she is too close to believers and has no airs, she is called the moon goddess Hathor, who is called a humble one.

None of them are foreign gods, and they are all weak. Their godheads are basically 2-3, and they are limited in strength compared to the original crocodile.

For the Egyptian pantheon, they are not particularly important, but if they leave the pantheon, it is difficult for them to survive outside the gods alone.

The world of gods is also very cruel. Even the wrathful gods will choose to stick together, especially for other gods.

When there was Sobek to attract the firepower, although the few of them had a difficult life, at least they could barely bear it.

But Sobek ran away, so Osiris and others made things difficult, so naturally he could only start to transfer.

Moreover, Lilith has information showing that the father of the jackal, Seth, seems to be deliberately contributing to the flames, which is even more interesting.

He probably wanted to arouse these gods' dissatisfaction with the god-king, create and accumulate conflicts, and prepare for him to replace Osiris and become the new god-king.

If these gods couldn't bear it anymore and chose to leave the god system, he would not suffer a loss either.

Just kill him directly, and Sobek was also targeted by him before.

Even if the priesthood, domain, etc. may not be a special match, if you sell it to other gods, you can make a lot of money.

So under such circumstances, the arrival of these ancient tomb warriors seemed somewhat unusual.

Li Wei didn't fully believe the reason they said, because he also saw the other party in the city yesterday, and the other party didn't show anything special at all at that time.

He is more willing to believe that the order of the poisonous scorpion goddess is likely to be issued just now!
But no matter what, this represents the goodwill of the other party after all, and the strength and equipment of these special ancient tomb warriors are good.

A level 1 hero with a small team of level 10 subordinates, coupled with their special physique, will also have strong resistance to the regular poison of spiders, and will definitely become a relatively qualified tank in the future.

So he expressed his thanks first, and then arranged them with the blood elves.

The next journey seemed a little monotonous. There was an endless desert near Bagh City, and there was no other existence except the sky full of yellow sand.

The only advantage may be that no matter what kind of enemies appear, they will be discovered immediately.

But in the face of Li Wei and his powerful team, no matter if they were ratmen, green skins, or ordinary wild monsters, they didn't dare to show their faces at all, and there was no battle to fight along the way.

Occasionally, I encountered a few caravans, as well as god-chosen heroes from other towns.

It's a pity that apart from learning that the Wood Elves have been very active recently under the leadership of the Twilight Sisters, conquering almost all the evil forces around them, Li Wei didn't get any other gains.

At this moment, Li Wei suddenly froze for a moment, because he received a special system prompt.

"Michimitsu Ashiya successfully found the lost power of the Eight Thunder Gods of Huangquan, and he chose to hand it over to the god of hatred and vengeance of the Nibon pantheon-Tianjin Wolf Star."

"As a result, Ashiya Domitsu received a reward from the Tianjin Wolf Star. The priesthood and domain of the Tianjin Wolf Star have been strengthened to a certain extent. The Tianjin Wolf Star has decided to break away from the Nippen Godliness, and the Nippone Godliness has entered a state of war."

Li Wei didn't care about the life and death of the Nibon pantheon, because their original island country had been fighting for years, but he didn't expect that Ashiya Doman would actually succeed, and that guy had a grudge against him.

Huangquan Eight Thunder Gods are the descendants of Izanami, one of the ancient gods of the Nibon pantheon, or the parasites born from his corpse.

In addition to the power of the thunder system, they estimated that there are also powers related to death and decay. Now the strength of Tianjin Wolf Star will definitely go a step further.

But at present, the problem is not too big, because Ashiya Michimitsu must give priority to revenge on his mortal enemy - Abe Seimei, and only after he succeeds can he come to trouble himself.

This is indeed a big hidden danger, but it is not a top priority, because Li Wei himself is constantly getting stronger!

After skipping this little episode, they gradually left the desert and came to a slightly gloomy mountain - Cobweb Mountain.

Li Wei's first feeling was that the number of all kinds of creatures dying here must not be small.

Because as far as the eye can see, the hairs and bones of various animals can be seen almost everywhere, and at the same time, a special, slightly acidic rancid smell is also wafting with the breeze.

As for the spider webs and spider eggs on the trees and on the ground, they are not fresh at all.

There is also a grey-green mist that looks very unhealthy, covering the entire mountain range, making it difficult for Kai Ruilian and others who are looking down from the sky to detect many useful things.

Li Wei turned his head and nodded to Kyle, Sally and others, so they cast spells together and summoned fire elementals such as fire elemental and flame archon.

These spider webs on the outside are actually very ordinary, but once they go deep into the Spider Web Mountain, the webs formed by high-level spiders inside may have various poisons such as corrosion, weakness, and paralysis.

Once caught, the big spiders may launch a surprise attack and directly bundle their prey into rice dumplings.

In addition to covering the sight and making it easier for the spiders to attack, the fog itself is also poisonous.

But their weakness is also very obvious, that is, they will burn at one point, and Levi intends to burn them all the way to avoid any accidents.

Again, this is bound to attract the attention of the enemy.

If the enemy can jump out on their own initiative, it will definitely save more effort than searching everywhere. After all, Spiderweb Mountain is not an ordinary hill.

As for the other celestial beings, naturally there are as many summons as there are.

However, because there are thousands of mummies and skeleton soldiers accompanying them this time, they are very afraid of flames, so Li Wei also paid a little attention to avoid affecting them.

This is not a problem that is difficult to solve. Whether it is Sefa's ice magic or the low-level magic-fire belt, it can be done perfectly.

So soon they walked through the flames all the way, and got the enemy's attention as they wished.

As many as dozens, as few as hundreds, spiders of different sizes and types swarmed towards them, jumping, rolling, waving their claws.

Not to mention, their combat effectiveness is temporarily unknown, but their appearance is indeed a bit disgusting + scary. Sally and the others in the team all showed obvious expressions of disgust.

Even Mortride was visibly disturbed, and Li Wei couldn't help being a little amused. This phantom assassin, who was so courageous that even the devil didn't know how many times he had hacked, would be afraid of spiders?
Seemingly noticing Li Wei's gaze, Mortride blushed a little. Even though she had done a lot of targeted training, once she actually encountered a spider, she would inevitably have some special reactions.

"Sorry, Lord Levi"

Li Wei waved his hand: "It's okay, I can completely understand, after all, you are a girl, and don't forget, you are not fighting alone."

At this time, the advantages of those mummies were revealed. Under the orders of the two priestesses, they stood at the forefront and were responsible for resisting the attack of the spider swarm.

Whether it was the spider's claws or the venom, they were completely unresponsive.

Li Wei also asked Cindy and other spellcasters to release some auxiliary and protective magic on them to improve their survivability.

It's a pity that as they continued to go deeper into Spiderweb Mountain, the strength and number of various spiders increased steadily, and many mummies and skeleton soldiers inevitably suffered casualties.

Even if they are protected by the Egyptian gods, they are no longer alive after all, and it is difficult for conventional healing spells to work on them.

In addition to using special potions and scrolls, etc., they can basically only use their unique Nehekhara spells for treatment, or rely on time to heal themselves.

But those fighters from the Church of the Scorpion Goddess performed very well.

In addition to the obvious increase in combat effectiveness, they seem to be able to recover their health with the help of the spider's poison.

Because Li Wei has seen it more than once, when an ancient tomb warrior is thrown down by a spider and is about to inject poison, neither he nor his companions will attack immediately.

Instead, they wait for the spider to finish injecting the poison before they kill each other.

But it's not incomprehensible, after all, he is the younger brother of the poisonous scorpion goddess, and there are few who can poison, and there are few who can't detoxify.

On the way, they would occasionally find traces of other races, but basically there were only bones, horns, furs, or weapons and armor that were riddled with venom.

Out of the desire for all kinds of giant spider eggs and the relics of people who died here before, although Spiderweb Mountain is extremely dangerous, adventurers have never stopped, but most of them eventually became part of it.

Thinking of this, Luna suddenly reported to Li Wei with a little surprise: "My lord, I found a surviving halfling chef!"

Li Wei raised his eyebrows immediately. The halfling's hometown is thousands of miles away, and the nearby forces tend to be lawful or kind. They are either the Tomb Kings who don't need to eat or drink at all, or the wood elves who are extremely xenophobic.

What is he doing here as a cook?Do you want to eat spider eggs?
"Is the opponent God's Chosen Hero or an aborigine?"

"It's an aborigine."

Li Wei pondered for a moment: "Bring him here, and you all should be careful."

Saying this, Li Wei also secretly asked Cindy, Elegy, Penthesilea and others a few words.

If it is a conspiracy, it is unlikely to be revealed immediately, but it has to be guarded against.

A few minutes later, a halfling chef with an iron basin, a spoon, and a white hat, who looked very typical and was also extremely frightened, appeared in everyone's sight.

When he saw those mummies, he seemed to be frightened again.

But when he saw Li Wei and others, his face was full of surprises, and he rushed over while trotting all the way, expressing his thanks in a hurry.

Li Wei also asked a little bit. It turned out that the other party came with an adventure team. The other party wanted to steal some spider eggs to sell for money, and he wanted to try a new recipe.

For example, charcoal-grilled spider eggs, braised spider legs, beet stewed spider eggs, etc.

After hearing this, Mortride felt like she was getting goosebumps all over her body, but Li Wei seemed very interested.

"I never thought spiders could be eaten. Have you ever eaten a spider? What does it taste like?"

"Uh, I haven't tried it a few times, I just occasionally do some barbecue, which is a bit like chicken, crunchy and crispy."

The halfling was gesticulating while talking, and he seemed to be a very ordinary halfling.

Li Wei smiled, and seemed to be more interested: "Oh, is that so? I happen to be short of a chef in my team. Would you like to join? The salary and so on, everything is negotiable."

When the halfling heard this, he immediately showed obvious hesitation, and then he asked tentatively: "I want to go back to the nearest town first, can I wait for you there?"

"Why, don't you want to try some new recipes?"

The halfling hurriedly shook his head: "I still cherish my little life more."

Li Wei snorted softly, and waved his hand aggressively: "Follow us, and you will have your life, recipes, and even gold coins!"

Before the other party could respond, Li Wei had already turned his head and said: "Elegy, give him 100 gold coins first, and it will be regarded as my advance payment!"

Elegy, who was called by name, suddenly felt moved. Although everyone has space rings and money, she is not usually in charge of logistics management.

And Li Wei has never been so domineering before, plus the few words he just told in advance
Although he thought a lot in his heart, on the surface Elegy remained calm. He just laughed, took out a gold coin and handed it over, and even patted the other party's head grinningly.

"Don't worry, if you follow us, your life will be saved, and I might as well tell you that we are here today for the reproductive queen!"

The halfling suddenly trembled: "What?"

Li Wei coughed lightly: "Elegy, don't scare him."

"No, no, no, I wasn't frightened by this beautiful lady, it's just that the adventure team I joined before was massacred by the fertility queen, and I managed to escape!"

Speaking of the latter, the voice of the halfling was a little crying.

Li Wei's eyes lit up immediately: "Then you must know where it is?"

The halfling hesitated for a while, but finally gritted his teeth: "Yes, I know, if you can help me avenge, I can not only show you the way, but also cook for you for three months!"

"Haha, good, deal, let's lead the way!"

The halfling nodded vigorously, and then really led the way.

Seeing this, Li Wei exchanged glances with Elegy, Donna and the others, and they all felt that things were going much smoother than expected.

No matter what the other party's true identity is, he is definitely not as simple as he shows!
You were scared to death just now, but now you have nothing to fear?
On the other hand, Penthesilea didn't realize it until she saw Li Wei's actions. Although she was a queen, she was not good at using her brain.

She just felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell the specifics.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, Li Wei's younger brother has already noticed it, so let him leave it to him, she is only responsible for killing the so-called reproductive queen!

Ah no, she is just an ordinary soldier now, she is Li Wei's bodyguard, she can't do that at all
In this way, with the halfling leading the way, their goal became extremely clear.

However, Li Wei did not let everyone give up their original actions. They still walked and burned all the way.

During this process, there were still a steady stream of various big spiders coming to attack, and they all turned into corpses in the end.

As the strength of the spiders improved, King Kong and mountain giants were gradually affected by their toxins.

Li Wei took a special look and found that the toxin effects of some high-level spiders can be accumulated. It doesn't matter if it doesn't take effect once. If you bite a few more times, you can break through a certain threshold and cause them damage.

Of course, for Li Wei, who is a celestial mystic, this is a problem that can be solved with a little money.

But out of some considerations, he didn't show this, and just asked the other priests in the team to purify.

It's just that it takes a little effort for them to deal with it, and they often cast spells several times to completely eliminate hidden dangers.

After killing these big spiders, there are also some loot from time to time, including spider silk, fangs, and magic items from the unlucky ghosts who were once swallowed by them.

Yes, at their level, they are no longer satisfied with simply sucking body fluids, and some eat meat directly.

Even spider eggs continue to be obtained, as long as they are processed by druids and others, they can become good combat power.

Li Wei also tentatively asked the halfling chef, but the halfling regretted that they were not the most suitable.

He wanted to go to the opponent's lair with his own hands to pick the freshest ingredients.

Moreover, Li Wei is so powerful, and he has saved his life. If he wanted to eat it, he would naturally have to eat the eggs of the most powerful Arachnari giant spider!
Li Wei naturally smiled to express his understanding, to keep improving, but in fact, the other party would never guess what he really thought.

As they burned, the poisonous fog in the mountains gradually faded a lot. In this case, the air force such as Kai Ruilian, who had already left, could also play the role of reconnaissance.
After burning at least ten miles of mountain roads and killing four or five thousand giant spiders, the halfling finally slowed down.

"Crossing this mountain depression, there is a valley in front of it, where the reproductive queen and her lair are, but there are also the most and most fierce spiders there."

After a slight pause, he looked at Li Wei pleadingly: "Can I not go? Can I stay at the end?"

Li Wei was a little funny: "This is Spiderweb Mountain, there are big spiders everywhere, is it really safe behind?"

Without waiting for the other party to reply, he waved his hand again: "Well, you just follow me. As the general of the army, my place is definitely the safest. These mountain giants and King Kong are the best proof."

Cindy next to him also continued: "That's right, not to mention ordinary big spiders, even reproductive queens are definitely not as powerful as them!"

Li Wei also laughed and nodded: "Yes, and don't look at me as a mage, I am also the strongest in the team, an archmage over level 15!"

The halfling's eyes lit up immediately, and he didn't hesitate any longer, just nodded slightly excitedly:
"So that's the case, then I will leave everything to you, it seems that we can give the Reproductive Queen an unexpected surprise today!"
