With his outstanding business skills, Alan quickly won the favor of Mrs. Chongmei.
Not long after, Bayara also proved her great value to Alan in the war against the undead.
The Undead Army is already at the gates of the city.
Alan led the Demon Mercenary Group out of the city to fight the enemy.
At the same time, Bayara planned to act alone, teleport directly to the cemetery city, and launch a surprise attack on the necromancers' hometown!
"Madam, there are no bone dragons with William and Spencer. They are probably staying in the main city."
Before leaving, Alan showed courtesy to Bayara.
"You are alone, deep behind enemy lines. If you encounter a bone dragon, will you be in danger?"
"Haha! My dear, don't worry about me."
Baiara put on the enchanted crown, held the holy emblem in her hand, and her smile revealed a strong confidence.
"As the 'Sister of Glory', dealing with stinky bones is my specialty!"
"A mere skull dragon won't pose a threat to me."
"Please be careful. If anything happens, feel free to send me a telepathic message."
"Also, turn on sensory sharing. I'll take a look at your situation when I have time."
"If necessary, I will help you resolve the threat."
"Okay, ma'am, I wish you a safe trip!"
Alan kissed her cheek as she leaned in, and they hugged each other goodbye.
Watching Madam Chongmei’s figure disappear into the teleportation array.
Alan's eyes darkened.
He originally estimated that Baiyala had the strength of the early sixth level.
It is not a sure win against a bone dragon that is also in the early stage of level 6.
However, judging from the disdainful attitude Baiara showed when she mentioned the bone dragon...
I'm afraid I have greatly underestimated the strength of this witch!
The stronger Bayara is, the greater the help she can provide to him right now.
But in the long run, the hidden dangers are also greater!
Alan gritted his teeth. It seemed that he would have to lie dormant for a while and continue to be a running dog for the Burning Legion.
Only when I am promoted to the sixth level will there be a possibility of defecting!
Collecting his thoughts, Alan led his troops out of the city to fight.
Alan was reluctant to lose the orcs, ogres, minotaurs and other loyal troops, so he kept them in the city as a reserve.
The main force in this battle are the demon mercenaries exchanged for souls.
Alan, don't trust the devil!
I don't dare to keep the devil next to me for fear of being ambushed.
His personal guards are the flesh golem "Meat Dump" and the totem Behemoth.
Having these two absolutely loyal big guys around him made him feel a little more at ease.
On the other side, a tide of undead has swept over.
The front row is usually filled with cannon fodder such as skeletons and zombies.
There are also zombies mixed in.
There was a vague vengeful spirit floating in the air.
In the back row are corpse wizards in robes, preparing to release the "Cloud of Death".
Two necromancers, standing in the center of the corpse witches.
William was also wearing a robe, but the style was more special.
It looked more like a scarlet floor-length dress.
It suits his heavily made-up look quite well.
Spencer's painting style is completely different.
This bald strong man has tattoos all over his face.
Wearing armor and carrying a huge silver sword on his shoulder!
Both of them stood on a high place, watching the battle silently.
At the same time, Allen was also deploying his troops in front of the city gate.
He has no shortage of cannon fodder on his side.
A large group of suicide demons are charging at the front line.
Dive into the pile of undead, boom boom boom!
Fry a large area at a time!
Behind the Suicide Demon comes the Cunning Demon who activates the "Aura of Revenge".
The moment the suicide demon exploded, the cunning demon behind him was also affected.
Through the "Aura of Revenge", the damage suffered by oneself is transferred to the surrounding enemies.
The damage caused to the undead troops by such layer-on-layer accumulation is even more terrifying than that caused by the suicide demon!
The Cunning Demon himself has the ability to "heal quickly".
In a chaotic battlefield, the chances of survival are higher.
Soon, the tide of undead was contained.
Fragile skeletons and clumsy zombies fell one after another.
Exposing the more elite ghoul troops.
On Allen's side, core fighters such as the ape demon, eagle demon and succubus also came on the field one after another.
Launch an inhumane dimensionality reduction attack on the zombies!
William realized that the battle situation was unfavorable, frowned, and issued two orders in succession.
The vengeful spirits in the air quickly moved forward and entered the battlefield.
At the same time, the corpse wizards released "Death Cloud" towards the melee zone to provide fire support for the undead troops.
Seeing this, Alan smiled coldly.
He already had a plan to deal with the Undead's tactics.
The Shadow Demon troops collectively take off to fight against the evil spirits!
A flesh and blood body is at a huge disadvantage when fighting against a virtual ghost.
The Shadow Fiend, who is also an incorporeal being, can easily deal with the vengeful spirits.
The enemy's biggest threat comes from the corpse wizard.
The cloud of death was harmless to the undead, but it caused considerable damage to the demons.
Alan gathered a large group of smiling demon children around him.
The average weight of a demon child is only ten kilograms.
Allen's "Qianli Xianting" carries a weight of five tons!
Carrying hundreds of demon children, plus flesh and blood golems and behemoths, they are collectively teleported directly behind enemy lines!
The teleportation landing point is behind the corpse wizards.
Hundreds of demon children walked out of the teleportation array and immediately extracted the magic power of the nearby corpse wizards.
In an instant, the magic power of half of the corpse wizards was drained!
The demon children used the stolen magic power to cast the spell of invisibility.
They collectively disappeared into the night.
Sneak to a distance and continue stealing the corpse witch's magic.
As for those corpse wizards whose magic power had been drained, they lost the energy to release the "Cloud of Death" and could only use a small dagger to protect themselves.
The combat capability has degenerated to a level even lower than that of a zombie.
boom!
Alan raised his hand and fired a "Shaping and Expanding Moonlight Cannon"!
The cone-shaped spreading moonlight wave directly wiped out all the corpse wizards within 120 meters ahead!
The totem Behemoth leaped up with a roar.
It fell from the sky like a human meteorite, smashing into the crowd and crushing a large number of corpse witches.
The flesh golem also rushed towards the corpse wizard under Alan's remote control.
Golems are naturally very resistant to magic and are immune to most necromancy attacks.
With the shadow of death looming over him, he rushed into the crowd and knocked down a corpse wizard with one punch.
On the high ground, William and Spencer saw that the situation was not good, so they quickly opened the "anywhere door" and teleported directly to the melee zone.
Alan sensed the fluctuation of magical power, crushed the skull of a corpse wizard, and turned to walk towards the teleportation point.
"You are courting death, boy!"
William's charming face was twisted with anger.
Chanting the spell, the necromancy energy gathered in his palms.
It transformed into a group of pale beetles and buzzed towards Alan.
The 4th-ring necromancy magic "Disaster Beetle" sucks essence and blood and feeds back to the caster. It is extremely vicious!
Alan didn't want to be approached by this group of blood-sucking beetles, so he quickly cast a 3rd-level "Dispel" spell silently.
Swish!
With a flash of green light, the "disaster beetles" were instantly dispersed.
When warlocks fight, the one with higher mental power has the greatest advantage, which is that they are more confident in dispelling the opponent's high-level magic!
At this moment, Allen took full advantage of this advantage.
William's face changed slightly, and he instantly used the "Teleport" technique!
The tall and strong Spencer took his place.
He held the sword in both hands and charged at Alan with a roar.
This guy is both a warlock and a brave warrior.
The giant sword was imbued with necromancy magic, and emitted a pale halo.
Allen is also a close combat warrior.
Spencer's tough fighting style was just what he wanted.
He infused his right hand with the "Steel Ripping Rake" and directly blocked the giant sword that was coming down on his head.
clang!
Sparks are flying in the night sky!
Spencer rolled out and the giant sword fell to the ground.
The broad and thick silver sword blade has broken!
Allen's right arm was almost cut off.
Only a layer of skin remained, connecting the trembling broken arm.
Spencer spat out a mouthful of blood and climbed up with difficulty.
Seeing Alan's broken arm, a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes!
However, he was too happy too early.
There was minimal bleeding from the broken arm.
There was no look of pain on Allen's face.
"You cut my arm off with one sword, you have decent strength."
He spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if it was not him who had lost his arm.
Alan freed his left hand, grasped his right arm, and pressed it on the stubble.
The flesh and blood fused together and healed in an instant.
Alan moved his right hand and nodded with satisfaction.
"Damn it! Forgot this guy is an ogre wizard with a natural regenerative physique!"
Spencer, furious, stood up and returned to his roots!
The rapidly expanding body directly burst the armor and stretched out shiny black wings.
In the blink of an eye, the bald man turned into a giant bird with black feathers and blood-red eyes.
Death Vulture, this is Spencer's fifth-level atavistic form!
Atavistic Spencer circled above Allen's head, looking for the opportunity to dive and attack.
On the other side, William also activated the fifth level of atavism and turned into a bloody human skeleton.
Most of the muscles in his body have withered.
Only the blood vessels and heart are abnormally developed!
The blood vessels are like thick red worms, winding around the bones.
As the heart beats in the chest, the blood vessels tremble slightly, squeezing out blood in streams.
"Blood Soul Corpse", a special kind of corpse demon, is William's ancestral form.
Seeing this, Alan frowned.
Necromancers are so ugly!
In comparison, the ogre calls himself a handsome guy, which is really too modest.
William, the ancestor of the past, slowly raised his hands.
The veins in the wrist are like little snakes emerging from the skin.
With a puff, two streams of smelly blood spurted towards Alan!
Alan had never seen such a bizarre way of attack!
But it is not difficult to guess that the blood is highly poisonous and contains cold negative energy, with an attached dark curse!
Even if he had the "soft bone and flesh armor" to protect his body, he would not dare to resist this strange and vicious blood.
He raised his hand and activated the vortex dragon claw, intending to open a repulsive field to block the poisonous blood that was spraying towards him.
Just at this moment, the body suddenly trembled inexplicably.
The body of flesh and blood turned into an illusory spirit!
Just avoid the poisonous blood splashing!
Alan himself doesn't know the spell to instantly transform into a spirit!
Suddenly I realized that it was most likely Bayara who was causing trouble!
Use your body as an anchor to cast spells remotely.
After just a few seconds, Alan turned back into flesh and blood.
The Blood Soul Corpse and the Death Vulture pounced forward at the same time.
Alan used his palms to activate the "Vortex Dragon Claw" and "Ice Soul Palm" respectively, and was planning to have a good fight with the two monsters.
Suddenly, strange magical fluctuations emerged in the body again!
Swish!
The golden light radiated from Alan to the surrounding areas.
It's like a golden lotus blooming.
3rd level "Daylight", the nemesis of photophobic undead!
When William was illuminated by the golden light, he screamed as if he was burned by fire, and the queen retreated in a hurry.
The atavistic Spencer in the air, in the form of a dead vulture, is not an undead creature.
Although his eyes were stung by the sudden burst of bright light, he still insisted on diving down.
Alan calmed himself down and planned to use the Whirlpool Dragon Claw to ram the Death Vulture head-on.
However……
Mrs. Chongmei had different ideas.
Use him as an anchor to activate "Expanded Greater Pyroblast".
boom!
Alan seemed to have turned into a nuclear warhead, suddenly bursting out with strong light!
The area within a hundred feet around was first swept by flames and light radiation, and then ravaged by the shock wave caused by the explosion.
Billowing black smoke rose into the sky like a mushroom cloud.
The dead vulture in mid-air was blown into a bloody mess, its wings were broken, and flaming feathers were flying all over the sky!
"Bai Yala! I can handle it myself, you don't need to meddle in my business!"
Alan couldn't bear it any longer and roared through the mind link.
"Sweetheart, why are you so angry?"
In my mind, I could hear Madam Chongmei’s aggrieved voice.
"People care about you and help you kill the enemy, what's wrong with that?"
"You'll disrupt my fighting rhythm by doing this!" Alan explained patiently.
"Haha... sweetheart, you don't need to fight hard, just be my spell transfer station."
"Instead of fighting and killing on the battlefield, you might as well save your precious energy and work hard at night."
Alan gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and said nothing.
Baiyala's behavior, even if it was out of good intentions, was too disrespectful!
Alan couldn't afford to offend this big witch now, so he vented his anger on the enemy in front of him.
Spencer, who had been blown to pieces, still maintained his ancestral form.
The bloody wound was slowly turning black.
A strong aura of negative energy emanates from his entire body.
The Death Vulture has a magical property.
When on the verge of death, the negative energy stored in the body explodes, and the dying body automatically transforms into a zombie.
Alan was too lazy to wait for him to complete his undead transformation, so he raised his hand, and a vortex spun in his palm, sucking it directly over!
With a flow of cold energy in his left hand, he struck the atavistic Spencer with an "Ice Soul Palm", instantly blasting him into pieces of blood and ice!
William, the atavistic man, saw this brutal scene from a distance and was trembling with fear!
He hurriedly took out the rune and chanted a spell to summon a bone dragon!
On the battlefield, a bloody battle formation appeared.
The ferocious figure of the bone dragon slowly emerged.
William was about to breathe a sigh of relief when his expression suddenly changed.
The bone dragon was indeed teleported here.
However, all that was left was a broken body, lying on the ground, as if its muscles had been pulled out.
Wait a minute... why is there no head?
Where did the bone dragon's head go? !
"Hehe...are you looking for this?"
Suddenly, a woman's laughter came from behind.
Spencer looked back in horror!
Bayara, dressed in a white robe, appeared behind him at some point, holding a huge skull in her hand.
"You want this, right? I'll give it back to you."
Madam Chong Mei casually threw the skull of the bone dragon over.
How dare William answer it?
He raced against time to cast the spell, with the only thought in his mind being to escape!
As soon as one foot stepped into the "anywhere door", the skull of the bone dragon fell under his feet and exploded with a loud bang.
Golden holy light, mixed with fiery red flames, gushed out!
In the last second before being burned to ashes by the "Flame Strike", William's mind was filled with despair and confusion.
He couldn't figure it out.
Why would that woman in white robes who looked like a Sister of Holy Light appear in the Underdark?
As a clergyman who advocates light, why would she mix with the "traitor" Allen who colludes with the devil and become his accomplice?
With these confusions, William stopped thinking forever.
Across the blazing pillar of holy fire, Alan looked at Madam Chongmei from afar with a gloomy expression.
Although he won a great victory in this battle and wiped out the undead forces, he was not in a very good mood.
Indeed, Baiara was a great help.
The problem is that she helped too much, and too much is as bad as too little!
Baiyala is too strong and always acts on her own.
Alan also has a strong personality and doesn't like the feeling of being dominated by this witch!
It was as if I was just a puppet controlled by her.
How could a seven-foot-tall man be manipulated by a witch? !
Alan had a hunch that with the arrival of Bayara, the day when the Demon Mercenaries would become the masters was not far away.
This also means that there is not much time left for me to be a "traitor".
If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries.
Allen quickly made a safe decision.
After this meditation is over, change the ancestral spirit!
It won’t be too late to come back and compete with Bayara when I become stronger!
With a lot on his mind, Alan ended his meditation.
…
The secret realm of the blood pool.
The peaceful time passed by quietly .
After a year of seclusion, Alan was promoted to the late fifth level!
Current attributes are: 50 physique, 34 agility, 56 spirit
As the cultivation level increases, the venom gland evolves again.
Added a new ability - Absorb Resistance!
…
Absorption resistance: absorb the essence of blood and gain the most significant resistance from it.
…
Absorption resistance, similar to the system's built-in "virus resistance".
For the same blood essence, it is only effective when it is absorbed for the first time.
Resistances of the same type can grow cumulatively.
For example, Alan absorbed the blood essence of a certain low-level demon and gained level 3 fire resistance.
Later, by absorbing the blood essence of a red dragon, the fire resistance could increase to level 4, or even higher!
By analogy, the more essence of fire creatures he absorbs and the higher his level, the faster Alan's own fire resistance will increase!
This growth pattern is completely consistent with virus resistance!
Alan even suspected that the "Taotie System" was subtly transforming his body after combining with the venom gland.
The new ability of "absorption resistance" is likely to have evolved based on "virus resistance".
In addition, Alan also awakened two new spells.
The 4th-level "Scrying" spell can be cast through a crystal ball, mirror or calm water surface to try to detect distant targets.
The maximum detection distance of "Detection" depends on the spiritual attribute of the caster.
However, not all people and objects within the detection radius can be seen clearly.
The efficiency of detection depends on your familiarity with the target.
The more familiar you are, the easier it is to lock on to your target.
Hearsay or blindly following a map may lead to deviations.
The 5th-level "Maleficent Transfiguration" can permanently transform a creature into a fragile small animal, such as a mouse, chicken, or frog.
The "Frog Prince" in the fairy tale was cursed by "evil transfiguration".
"Malicious deformation", more vicious than the usual negative state.
However, the conditions for successful spell casting are extremely harsh.
A creature that has been maliciously transformed has two attempts to resist.
First opportunity to check physical condition.
The recipient's physical attributes are so strong that they exceed the caster's mental attributes, and they are likely to be immune to malicious deformation.
If you are not strong enough, the first resistance will fail.
There is a second chance, examine the spirit.
If the recipient's mental attributes are higher than those of the caster, even if his body is transformed into a fragile animal, he can still retain his original memory and spellcasting ability.
After practicing the two newly awakened spells, Alan opened the system page again to check the martial arts fusion prompts he had recently received.
A total of three lines were drawn.
The first one is heavyweight!
"Do you want to spend 7 potential points to fuse the 3rd level 'Gaseous Form', the 3rd level 'Liquid Alchemy', the 5th level 'Soft Bone Flesh Armor' and the 6th level 'Ice Soul Freezing Wave' to try to deduce the 7th level body refining secret method?"
Alan's cultivation has reached the late fifth level.
"Soft Bone Flesh Armor" gradually could not keep up with his level requirements .
Previously in the meditation world, having his arm cut off by Spencer’s sword was a dangerous signal!
Of all the types of martial arts, Allen values ​​defense the most!
Put on the thickest armor to ensure that your opponent can’t hurt you at all, so that you can feel safe.
Allen's current potential inventory is as high as 24 points.
Invest 7 points to deduce the 7th level body refining secret method, it is a wise choice!
Not long after, Alan received a system prompt.
Didi——
"The deduction of the 7th-level body-refining secret method has been completed. Please name it!"
…
Unnamed 7th-level body-refining secret technique: dual defense of physical and magical, the lower limit of defense penetration is a level 4 enchanted weapon; the practitioner can switch his own flesh and blood body into gaseous, liquid or solid states at will.
Gaseous state is equivalent to "gasified form".
Liquid state, equivalent to the fluid water element.
In solid state, the flesh and blood crystallize like ice, doubling the hardness and defense, but the texture is hard and brittle, making it more vulnerable to sound wave damage.
…
Alan read the introduction and let out a slow breath.
The excitement in my heart could not be calmed for a long time.
The physical and magical defenses, as well as the lower limit of defense penetration, are all within expectations and in line with normal upgrade logic.
What really surprised him was the transformation of the three states of gas, liquid and solid!
This is not just a matter of strengthening defense, it can also lead to a variety of tactics with endless uses!
In fact, this is no longer a purely defensive skill!
From the "soft bone and flesh armor" that can be both hard and soft, to the changes in the three states of gas, liquid and solid, the evolutionary path can be traced, and it is also a qualitative leap!
Alan pondered for a moment, and finally decided to name this magical 7th-level body refining secret method... "Three-Phase Illusion"!
The next two fusion prompts have similarities but completely opposite properties.
"Do you want to spend 6 potential points to fuse the 5th level 'Vortex Dragon Claw' and the 4th level 'Fire Wall' to try to deduce a 6th level fire martial arts?"
"Do you want to spend 6 potential points to fuse the 5th level 'Vortex Dragon Claw' and the 5th level 'Ice Soul Palm' to try to deduce a 6th level ice martial art?"
Both new martial arts are based on the "Vortex Dragon Claw" and additionally incorporate fire or ice skills.
What does the final product look like?
It wasn't difficult for Alan to guess about 80% of it.
Apart from the different energy properties, the other performances of these two martial arts are probably not much different.
If they were all integrated, it would be a waste of potential.
The 6th-level ice martial arts already has the "Ice Soul Freezing Wave".
One more would just be icing on the cake.
On the contrary, so far, Alan has not learned any fire-related martial arts!
This is definitely a shortcoming and a hidden danger!
In fact, when Allen awakened the "Fire Wall Technique" and placed high hopes on it, he wanted to use the "Fire Wall Technique" as a springboard to develop fire-based martial arts!
"Vortex Dragon Claw" is the most comfortable martial art for him to use.
Adding the much-needed fire attribute on this basis is like providing timely assistance, achieving the best of two worlds.
Invest 6 potential points and wait for a moment.
System prompts, arrived as expected.
Didi——
"The fusion of the 6th-level fire and force field martial arts has been completed. Please name it!"
The fire attribute comes from the "Fire Wall Technique".
Force field attributes, inherited from "Vortex Dragon Claw".
All of this was within Allen's expectations.
With curiosity, I continued to look at the detailed description of the new martial arts.
