Throne of the Warlord

Chapter 171 The Illithid Warlord Hiding in the Dark

At this moment, Li Qing felt as if a god had helped him. The accumulation of so long was gushing out like a spring at this moment, full of inspiration, and in excellent condition.

Without stopping, he used more than forty magic pens in total, with perfect battery life, and completed a super complex magic circle he expected in one breath.

When the last stroke is completed and connected with the first stroke, the spiritual power is self-generated to form a perfect closure, and fine lightning jumps up on this magic circle.

"It's done!"

Even without checking the attributes, Li Qing had a strong premonition that he had succeeded.

Picking up the animal skin in his hand, Li Qing showed a trace of joy on his face.

"If it's really done, it's still a one-step upgrade to a high-level."

Magic Lightning (Advanced): Consume 3 points of war mana to launch a magic lightning that is equivalent to a second-level spell to bombard enemies within a range of 150*150 meters.

The primary version has only one ring of lethality, and the lethality range is only 30*30 meters.

After being promoted to a high level, not only the power has been greatly increased, but the killing range has also increased by more than [-] times.

"That's it."

Li Qing did not hesitate to choose the current version as his advanced version of Magic Lightning, and will not change it.

Although it can continue to be adjusted and strengthened.

In theory, the more knowledge you have, the more magic runes you have. You can adjust or increase or decrease some of the compound rune circles to continue to increase the power.

Theoretically, there is no limit to the power of spells. If you have the ability, it is not impossible to create a magic lightning with a lethality equivalent to six-ring chain lightning and a range of up to ten square kilometers.

But this is theory, in practice it is neither possible nor necessary.

If you really have this kind of ability, the strength at that time is estimated to be that of a true god, and the concentration of a true god's power is no different from war magic.

Therefore, most of the war magic is useless to the true gods. Only a few high-level war magic with special effects can last for a long time.

After Li Qing rested for a day, he continued to draw magic lightning to improve his proficiency.

It is worth mentioning that the advanced version of the magic lightning he draws on the animal skin can be regarded as a one-time scroll, which can be used by his heroes.

With the beginning, the latter will follow naturally.

It failed once, and basically succeeded every time afterwards.

After succeeding ten times in a row, Li Qing began to make final preparations to upgrade the first-level war magic, the magic lightning, on his war magic book.

There were no demon moths, and it was a success.

After resting for two days, he started the upgrade of the second war magic 'Light of War'.

Time passed without knowing it.

Li Qing stays in God's Domain every day, immersed in the world of magic knowledge and unable to extricate himself.

The city is also quiet and peaceful. The 30-meter-high city wall blocks almost all beasts. Occasionally, a large beast passes by and is driven away by 24 space dragons.

The mithril mine at the foot of the mountain is also being excavated step by step. At the beginning, the output was not much, but after the ground was dug up and more mines were opened, the output gradually increased. Now it is guaranteed that more than 30 kilograms can be dug out every day. Mithril.

This is obviously not the limit, the scale of this mithril mine is bigger than they imagined.

The deeper you dig, the bigger the output. Now An Erqiu is arranging for many space dragon descendants to help, incarnate as a half-dragon to dig and expand the scale of the mine.

Their digging method is very simple, that is, they directly dig out large chunks of stones containing mithril, without any process of crushing ore washing, they just dig them out and pile them in the warehouse. Get up, disintegrate the stone directly, and the rest is pure Mithril.

The work efficiency of the palm space is higher than that of [-] professional miners. After a month of hard work, he can finish it in an hour.

Many space dragons are also having a very good time at this time. In this wild plane with abundant food, they have almost no natural enemies who have the ability to fly. They fly out to hunt and prey every day, and scout around by the way.

After a few months, their level has been raised by one level, reaching the seventh level, and the scope of reconnaissance has changed from the original [-] kilometers to about [-] kilometers.

In this area, especially in the jungles and mountains in the east, south, and southeast, many tribes of dinosaurs were found, including a very large tribe of dinosaurs who had built a simple city.

Preliminary observation shows that there are a total of six dinosaur tribes, most of which are small tribes of about [-] to [-].

The largest dinosaur city-state has a population of 30 million and is extremely powerful.

But because the distance was too far, and they didn't come here specifically for conquest, they didn't make any moves.

Apart from building a few hidden monitoring outposts at several key locations over there, and a few space dragons pass by there every day for observation, there is no other action.

This morning, after Li Qing routinely made a steel golem, he left God's Domain and came to the city, where he was going to collect and decompose the ore piled up like a hill in the warehouse.

The black hole opened on the pile of stones piled up like a hill, and the huge attraction attracted the stones one by one.

The stone disintegrated, and the mithril was left in a large mass.

The decomposition was completed in less than an hour, and all the stones were recombined into stone cubes, and the mithril was also gathered into a large piece, with a total of more than 300 kilograms.

Putting away the mithril, Li Qing was about to go to see how the mine was being dug, when he suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky with a hint of doubt on his face.

An Erqiu, who was following him, also raised his head in doubt, and said strangely:

"Boss, do you feel something is wrong?"

Li Qing nodded, pointed to the pterosaur circling in the air not very high in front of the mine and asked:
"Are there a lot of pterosaurs around?"

An Erqiu nodded:
"This kind of small pterosaur is very common in this plane. I often saw it when I came all the way. After the city was established, I often saw this kind of small pterosaur passing by. Occasionally, a small pterosaur would stay on the top of the building in the city."

Li Qing frowned and thought for a while, then pointed to the pterosaur hovering not far away and said:

"You send someone to capture this pterosaur."

An Erqiu was a little puzzled, but didn't say anything, and gave a low voice to a tall space dragon descendant beside him. The space dragon descendant quickly turned into a half dragon, stretched out a pair of wings covered with dragon scales, and soared into the air. A flash appeared behind the small pterosaur, grabbed its neck and flew back.

Li Qing reached out to take the pterosaur, his expression turned cold, and he handed it directly to An Erqiu.

An Erqiu took the pterosaur suspiciously, and his face changed in the next second.

"Is this pterosaur controlled by someone?"

Li Qing nodded:

"The power of the mind is most likely controlled by the Illithid Destiny Hero."

An Erqiu immediately ordered his subordinates, more than a dozen space dragon descendants soared into the sky, and captured all the pterosaurs hovering over the city.

Checking one by one, it was quickly found that four of the dozen pterosaurs had problems.

He came to Li Qing's side with a solemn face, and said in a low voice:
"It was my negligence. I immediately arranged a detailed reconnaissance around the city."

Li Qing nodded, patted his shoulder and said:

"Don't blame yourself too much, experience is accumulated, as long as you don't do it again next time."

"If you haven't guessed, there should be a spirit sucker, the Lord of Destiny, who is eyeing us. Let everyone be vigilant."

"In addition, when we found them, they also knew that we found them. They probably won't hide in the future. Let the children not go too far, don't go out alone, and move around within [-] kilometers of the city at most."

An Erqiu nodded seriously.

"Oh! I really want to be quiet for a while, but I can't do it."

Li Qing sighed lightly, a little speechless.

"We have been found!"

In a dark hall somewhere, there is a dark red fleshy floor and ceiling under the feet, and a ball of light hangs above it. Several figures are gathering in front of a huge ball of light in the center of the hall.

One of the strangely shaped human figures fumbled for the light ball in front of them, and a huge virtual projection of the site was displayed in front of them.

A sharp finger pointed at a certain point on the map and said:

"I don't think there is any need to wait any longer. Let's do it immediately and take this mithril mine."

Another hoarse voice sounded:

"I think the time is not yet ripe. We haven't penetrated enough into this dinosaur tribe. If we do it now, the previous investment and preparation will fall short."

"It doesn't matter. After these days of observation, I can be sure that the output of this mithril mine is extremely high. After it is captured, it will be enough to make up for all losses."

Several figures looked up to the rear. A tall humanoid figure was sitting on a huge crystal throne. With the dancing of tentacles, a strange pulsating halo spread from the foot of the throne, disappearing into the wall of flesh and blood. .

"Master, it is up to you to decide our strategy."

The figure known as the master pondered a little, and a deep voice sounded in the hall:
"Mithril is very precious, and it is also the magic material that is most in demand. If it can be captured, it will be enough to make up for all losses."

"I order that the infiltrators of the Dinosaur tribe be prepared to secretly guide the war between the Dinosaurs and this human warlord, and we will reap the benefits of the fishermen after the war."

After the order from the master was issued, all the figures in the hall of flesh and blood no longer had any objections, and responded one after another.

On the other hand, after discovering the abnormalities of the small pterosaurs near the city, An Erqiu stepped up his reconnaissance of the surrounding areas in the next few days, and indeed found some abnormalities.

For example, the pteranodon nests gathered inexplicably, the beasts that were supposed to hunt each other gathered together harmoniously, and the traces of a small group of dinosaurs.

These were not found before because they were too small to be overlooked.

The space dragon's reconnaissance targets are mainly giant beasts above the eighth or ninth rank, or large-scale dinosaur troops. Such extremely small-scale beasts and pterosaurs are everywhere in this plane, and they are generally followed by weeds all over the world. All the same, it is simply impossible to monitor them all.

As the reconnaissance obtained more information, An Erqiu's expression became more solemn.

But what really worried him was the sudden loss of contact with a hidden outpost [-] kilometers ahead.

Originally, a reply letter was sent every day, but as they started a large-scale reconnaissance for four weeks, there has been no reply for three days.

Five giant dragons teamed up to scout and saw a huge army of dinosaurs marching in the wasteland.

"It's pretty fast!"

Li Qing smiled after receiving the news, and said to the many subordinates gathered below:

"Have the miners of the mine stop digging, assemble outside the mine, and prepare for battle."

Then he used the space in his palm to use the remaining stones from the previous mining, rubbed a bunch of huge arrow towers with his hands, and placed them outside the city wall and in different places inside the city to defend against the enemy's wingman army.

According to reconnaissance, this attacking force came from the super-large dinosaur tribe, and with some support from nearby tribes, the total strength was about [-] to [-].

There are nearly a thousand tyrannosaurs alone, and several thousand pterosaur troops.

Coupled with more than a dozen tamed high-level tyrannosaurs and Fengshen pterosaurs, the threat is quite large.

But what worries Li Qing the most is the Illithid Destiny Warlord who doesn't know where he is hiding.

Now it can be confirmed that there is indeed a spirit sucker Destiny Warlord who is dealing with him, whether it is coveting the Mithril mine or simply dealing with him, the Son of Destiny of humanity.

After searching for so many days, I still haven't found where the spirit sucker is hiding, otherwise he would have taken the initiative to attack.

The native army marched very slowly. It had been more than ten days, nearly half a month, since the initial discovery and the appearance of the air pterodactyl troops near the city.

At this time, Li Qingzao had already made all the preparations.

The black army of dinosaurs pressed up, and the vast wasteland outside the city was cut down. Many dinosaurs gathered outside the city, looking up 60 degrees at the 35-meter-high city wall, lost in thought.

The small hills in the hilly area are only this high, how can this be crossed?

Even if the tyrannosaurus is about ten meters tall, with the help of full power, it will only take two statures, which is not enough to climb the city wall at all.

The Tyrannosaurus is taller than the Tyrannosaurus, but their jumping ability is not as good as that of their evolved counterparts, so they don't expect it to jump up.

Dinosaurs did not have siege weapons, they have not yet evolved to this stage, and neither has civilization reached this stage.

Although city-states have appeared, the walls of their city-states are only made of gravel mixed with mud, which can only prevent small wild animals, and ordinary velociraptors can easily climb over.

The only way is to attack the city with air pterosaur troops.

But without the cooperation of the ground troops, the pure pterosaur troops would definitely die if they rushed in.

24 giant dragons, four high-ranking dragons, plus many archers and a huge number of space dragon descendants, this is only a few thousand pterosaur troops, and they can't go back once they come.

so.
The menacing dinosaur army outside the city, which was about to attack the city, was stunned.

The defenders in the city who expected a fierce battle were also stunned.

"Damn, make a false alarm!"

Xie Zhu supported the city wall with his hands, and said a little funny:

"So they didn't prepare siege weapons for these dinosaurs?"

Li Qing was also at the top of the city. He looked up into the distance and said in a deep voice:
"Don't be too happy."

He noticed that behind the army of dinosaurs, a large number of dinosaurs were moving in. Many thick trees were busy, and they seemed to be preparing for something.

"Many of these dinosaurs must have been controlled by spirit suckers with the power of the mind, or the will of the spirit suckers has taken over their bodies, and they will make siege weapons."
