Artificer Adventure Guide

This attack method is one of the few ways to kill the petrified bull.

Even its eyelids have extremely high defense, and it is difficult for ordinary ammunition to penetrate.

In the past, only those sharpshooters could kill them relatively easily.

With a wave of his hand, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid gathered in Carl's hand.

It began to transform rapidly and soon turned into a Gatling gun.

Looking in front of him, Carl found that there were no humans except those monsters.

The magic pattern of the rapid-fire weapon began to emerge rapidly on the gun body, and then the continuous gunshots overwhelmed the hoofbeats of the petrified bull.

"Da Da Da..."

At the muzzle, the blue magic flame continued, and the bullets formed by magic poured out like raindrops.

Carl could clearly feel that his connection with the external magic had caused a lot of pressure on his soul.

But fortunately, the effect of the intelligence headband helped to offset some of the pressure.

The bullets hit the skin of the petrified monsters, making a tinkling sound.

In just a few breaths, several petrified bulls and petrified lizards that were charging in front died because they suffered too much damage.

A single bullet cannot cause serious damage to these monsters with extremely high natural armor, but the problem is that the firepower of the Gatling gun is very strong!

Even if a bullet only has a little forced blood loss, a petrified bull can only last for three seconds at most.

"My efforts in the dream world have not been in vain, but the power of a single bullet needs to be improved. V!"

Enduring the dizziness, Carl stopped attacking and called V to take him away from the battlefield.

The adventurers behind him were all stunned at this time.

What kind of weapon was that just now?

This is too brutal!

All the petrified bulls were shot to death. Are you more powerful than a group of magic shooters?

However, although this is what many adventurers think in their hearts, it is actually far from as good as they think.

It seems that many petrified bulls have fallen, but only the first few are really dead, and the rest are because they were tripped by the corpses in front.

Carl is now temporarily out of action due to overusing his brain. The nearly half-minute bombardment almost burned his CPU.

"So brave! Whose family is that?"

On the city wall, the general who was commanding the battle had his eyes lit up and asked his deputy beside him about Carl's information.

The deputy thought about it for a while and then told him Carl's identity information.

Just as Nia had guessed before, the information of Carl and several other strange machine masters had long been mastered by the City Lord's Mansion.

When the general heard that Carl was from the Tower of Strange Machines, his face was a little lost.

Few people from Akanix joined the army, and even if they did, they would not be assigned to his men.

At this moment, there was a sound in the sky, and a series of fireballs fell from the sky and exploded in the team of petrified bulls.

The adventurers looked up and found that some mages riding floating brooms were waving their battle mage wands, preparing for the next round of bombing.

The reinforcements of Akanix have arrived.

"Sure enough, this kind of thing should be handed over to the people of the School of Transmutation to solve, and they can also make some extra money along the way."

Cal finally breathed a sigh of relief as he covered his forehead and looked at the fireballs exploding on the ground.

There are indeed too many petrified monsters attacking the city, and if things go wrong, there may be casualties in the city.

The adventurers are good at defending, but not good at attacking. By the time they solve the crisis under the city, the people in the villages outside may all be dead.

Only mages can quickly cause effective damage.

'I have to prepare some fireball wands in the dimensional bag in a while. '

Reminding himself in this way, Cal returned to the city with the help of V.

The petrified bulls and petrified lizards he had killed before had been collected by V in the dimensional bag. Although this battle was short, it was also a good harvest.

After returning to the store, Cal told Nia and Ying what had just happened, and then handed the dimensional bag containing the petrified bulls to Nia.

"So, a portal to the underground city appeared in the west of the city? It appeared at this time, I'm afraid someone opened it deliberately."

After accepting the dimensional bag, Nia lowered her head and analyzed the information she got from Carl.

"Don't worry, the teachers in the academy will solve it. When I come back, the seniors of the School of Transmutation have arrived. Maybe we can counterattack later.

You should hurry up and make some petrified lizard essential oil. Maybe you can sell it for a good price."

After removing the power armor, Carl sat down on the rocking chair.

Nia took out the bodies of the petrified lizard and the petrified bull and started to make petrified lizard essential oil.

V helped Nia collect blood and gastric juice, and Ying helped after watching for a while.

Quietly feeling the growth of his spirituality and the gradually calming soul fatigue, Carl breathed a sigh of relief, with a sense of comfort after overfitting.

Soon after, someone from the army came to the door.

"Here are three petrified lizard corpses. You need to make six bottles of petrified lizard essential oil. Can you do it?"

Generally speaking, one petrified lizard corpse can make about three bottles of essential oil, but considering the craftsmanship, two bottles is a bit of a limit for ordinary people.

But Nia readily agreed, and asked Ying and V to collect blood and gastric juice again.

She herself started to make essential oils.

Soon, the soldiers who had just come to the door returned again, and Nia delivered the essential oils.

…

"Huh~, brother! Evacuate, there are too many monsters."

In the village west of the city, the trio faced the petrified lizards and petrified bulls that had fled here, and they were doing their best to deal with them.

Petrified bulls are relatively easy to deal with, but petrified lizards that can petrify people by staring at them are a bit dangerous.

The halfling assassin has received blind combat training and can fight petrified lizards with his eyes closed, but the remaining war forged and beastmen don't have this time.

Relying on good luck, the two relied on their physique to exempt from the petrification effect several times, but they knew that luck would not always be on their side, so they didn't dare to stay here.

The original survivors in the village had almost been killed by the monsters. The stone statues with terrified faces were scattered throughout the village, making the already desolate village even more weird.

"Escape? Where to escape? Can we outrun the petrified bulls? These two groups of monsters are now adapting to the new environment. If we want to go back alive, the best way is to wait for the people of Akanix City to come to rescue us!"

As the eldest brother, the halfling was obviously a little knowledgeable. After quickly explaining the situation to his two sworn brothers and sisters, he took the two of them to the roof nimbly and avoided the sight of a petrified lizard.

But there were also many petrified lizards outside the house, and more petrified lizards and petrified bulls ran out to the west.

"Did the bastard who opened the portal in Khyber open the territory of Orlask? Why are there so many petrified monsters? What do they eat? Won't the food chain collapse?"

The halfling angrily cursed the person who opened the portal, but he didn't know that the culprit had turned into a stone statue and was being eaten by several petrified lizards.

His subordinates didn't have a good end either. Some were trampled to death by petrified bulls, and some were also turned into stone statues.

It can be said that their sacrifice was a disaster that harmed others and benefited themselves.

The only one who survived was the gnoll. As a believer of the traveler, he saved his life by relying on the magic of the travel field.

But at this moment, his life was like a candle in the wind.

"Tell me! Where did you know this sacrificial ceremony!"

On a cliff somewhere, the Breland soldiers that Carl and his team had met before tied the gnoll to a stone and kept whipping him with a long whip.

The jackal, who was already a bit sloppy, was now covered in bloody wounds. The blood stuck his hair together, making him look like a stray dog ​​that was about to die.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! I really don't know. I bought this from other wanted criminals when I was in the Black Abyss!"

The jackal's voice was very hoarse as he wailed in pain. It was obvious that his voice was damaged by long-term crying and shouting.

"MD, you are still stubborn! If you are not a member of the Huangquan Dragon Society, how could you obtain this ritual, and actually successfully open the portal! Come on, petrify him!"

As soon as the voice fell, two soldiers came forward with a can of something and poured the contents on the jackal.

It was the breath of the petrified bull, which was collected by a special vessel.

"Captain! What should we do next? The prophecy of the society ends here, and the clues about the Huangquan Dragon Society are broken."

The adjutant of this team put the petrified jackal into a coffin-like box and came forward to ask about the next plan.

The leading soldier looked at his companions, and then took off his Breland armor.

"Let's go to Tonglu City! Although I am not a family member, I am at least the holder of the Tonglu Dragon Mark. They should provide us with some help. Moreover, we came here to deal with the Huangquan Dragon Society. There is no reason for the family to stand aside and watch!"

The adjutant on the side also took off his Breland uniform when he saw this.

"It is better to let the family tell Breland that although we killed those soldiers and took their equipment, we also acted in an emergency."

It is not difficult to hear from these words that they are not really Breland's soldiers, and the equipment on their bodies was also taken by killing a team of Breland soldiers.

The captain did not care much about this matter. It was just a few soldiers who died. Breland could not use the prophecy spell to find the murderer. If they explained, wouldn't it be a trap for them?

"Let's not talk about this anymore. The most urgent thing is to find a safe place to rest. Look over there, there are so many petrified monsters. I wouldn't be surprised if Medusa or something like that appeared. We have to leave here as soon as possible."
