"Walk!"
After looking at the dark nest on the ground below for a while, Qiao Shan drove the floating city and continued to move forward.
"Come here and carefully sense the location of the Dark Lair. It would be best if you could draw a map!"
While manipulating the floating city to circle around the dark nest area, Qiao Shan also called over his newly upgraded eighth-level spy elf.
Since this person can locate the position of the dark nest based on the breath of the power of rules.
That would be a perfect way to put it to good use, allowing it to directly locate the location of each dark nest, saving you the trouble of searching by yourself.
"yes!"
Hearing Qiao Shan's command, the newly upgraded eighth-level reconnaissance elf stood on the edge of the floating city and began to sense quickly.
After this elf reached the eighth level, the farthest sensing distance reached more than ten kilometers. His sensing range began to move slowly along with the floating city.
"Tell Xiaohong to keep a low profile in the Shurima Desert. We will explore other places first and come back later!"
After leaving the spy elf behind to begin locating the dark nest, Qiao Shan called Alice over and asked her to start passing the message.
"Let the hair in the Nia River also hide and not be too wild. Wait until I have time to see the mysterious palace it discovered at the mouth of the Nia River."
"Also, tell them not to go to the area where I was born."
Thinking of the chaotic area of ​​rule power with sparks flying around created by the power of authority he had just used, Qiao Shan emphasized again.
"yes!"
Hearing Qiao Shan's instructions, Alice responded and quickly began to pass on the instructions.
"Tell Lan that we should leave their place east of the Elf Forest first. Let her know so that she won't go back to the original place easily!"
Afterwards, Qiao Shan gave Lan another reminder.
"Tell the big dog and the second dog in the south that if anyone suddenly appears, let them surrender first!"
After thinking for a while, Qiao Shan called Qin Dalong over again and asked him to arrange a dragon-catching spearman to greet the two heroes, Da Gou and Er Gou, who were almost herded by him to the south of the original birthplace.
Don't leave by yourself, otherwise the two of them will be stubborn and get killed directly, that would be bad.
Although they are two ragtag heroes with low loyalty, they are his own people after all.
He doesn't want to be killed by someone else.
"yes!"
Following Qiao Shan's command, a response sounded.
Soon, Qiao Shan made a simple arrangement for the people around the original birth point.
Next, he set his goal to explore the map and look for gold mines, but he didn't know how far he would be away or how long he would be away.
But he knew that anything was possible.
It is possible that he will come back soon, but it is also possible that he will wander around outside for a long time.
And once he wanders outside for a long time, he still needs to make arrangements for some of his vassals.
“Huh~”
After arranging all his vassals, Qiao Shan let out a light breath and glanced at King Chujiang and Queen Weiyang who were still lying on the long-leaf grass and dozing off.
He quickly walked to the side of the eighth-level spy elf and watched him start drawing circles on a large piece of paper.
More than an hour later,
Qiao Shan’s floating city almost circled the entire dark nest area.
He determined that the dark nest area located to the north of his original birthplace was approximately 900 kilometers long and wide.
To its east is still the Niah River, and to its west are high mountains.
Instead, heading north and passing through the dark nest area, Qiao Shan saw a large, not very deep, gentle canyon covered with grass.
The canyon is about two hundred kilometers long, and Qiao Shan is not in a hurry to explore it.
After seeing the boundary of the dark nest area, he took a look at the canyon from a distance and then returned directly to the sky above the dark canyon.
"What's this?"
After patrolling all locations in the floating city above the dark nest, Qiao Shan's eyes were fixed on the paper with many circles drawn by the eighth-level spy elf.
"Each of these circles represents a dark nest!"
He already knew the place where the power of rules that he had detected was fluctuating, which was the spy elf in the dark nest, and he quickly answered Qiao Shan.
"Then why are some circles big and some small?"
Qiao Shan looked at the circles of different sizes on the paper. He already had a guess in his mind, but he still chose to ask a question.
"The bigger one represents the stronger fluctuation of the power of the rules of the Dark Lair, and the smaller one represents the weaker the power of the rules of the Dark Lair!"
"The bigger the circle, the more special the Dark Lair is!"
A quick explanation of the pixie.
And its explanation is the same as what Qiao Shan guessed.
Even through the comparison of the [prompt sounds], Qiao Shan knew that the so-called power of rules was stronger and was related to the level of the dark nest.
The higher the level of the Dark Lair, the bigger the circle drawn by the Spying Elf on the paper.
At this moment, there were one hundred and twenty circles of various sizes drawn by the spy elf on the entire paper.
In other words, the total number of dark nests below, regardless of level, is more than one hundred and twenty.
In the past, Qiao Shan’s floating city had fought against a level one dark nest.
At that time, he killed two million monsters in one go.
At this moment, through the information from the [prompt sound], Qiao Shan discovered that in the entire dark nest area, the highest level dark nest is level five.
However, there are not many level five dark nests, only two or three.
The largest number of them are still the level one and level two dark nests.
Qiao Shan, who had fought in a level one dark nest, knew that the monsters that spawned in a level one dark nest were very weak, with the highest being only level three. For him, there was no challenge at all.
At the moment, he was thinking about what level of monsters would spawn in the level 5 dark nest.
Based on previous experience and the numerous reminders from the [prompt sounds] this time, Qiao Shan also understood why he did not get much reward when he first attacked the void wormhole.
The reason why no reward was received at that time was because the energy accumulated in the Dark Lair had not yet been fully accumulated.
Because his air shield was directly opened, 2 million monsters directly erupted from the first-level dark nest.
A semi-mature dark nest that was opened ahead of time has no energy brewing and thus no rewards.
Qiao Shan, who had just been driving the floating city and circling quickly overhead, used the [prompt sound] to check the information of each dark nest. He knew that if he wanted to gain experience and rewards, he had to wait until the dark nest was "mature" before starting to fight.
In this case, the monster's rewards will return to normal.
And Qiao Shan, during his previous circling patrol, had discovered several "mature" dark nests through the [prompt sound].
.
Dark Lair
Rank: Level 3
Status: Energy has been accumulated, automatic monster spawning countdown 21 days 16 hours 46 minutes 23 seconds
Lair Type: Crypt
Number of monsters: 200
Outbreak mechanism: It will explode once within a month after the energy accumulates; or it will explode instantly when a city lord's birth point with an open air shield appears within fifty kilometers of the ground of the Dark Lair.
The next monster type: Wild Orcs, Lion-headed Men, Tiger-headed Men, War Behemoths, etc.
PS: I'm mature~
】
.
Soon, Qiao Shan set his sights on a level three dark nest.
He knew that as long as his floating city fell, this level 3 dark nest would definitely erupt.
According to the outbreak mechanism of the Dark Nest, the Dark Nest will not outbreak when his floating city is in the air.
But as long as they land on the ground and get within 50 kilometers of the dark nest, the dark nest will explode instantly.
Regardless of whether the energy in the Dark Nest is accumulated and mature or not, it will explode instantly as long as it enters a 50-kilometer range on the ground.
Only if you accumulate enough energy will you get a reward, but if you don’t accumulate enough energy, the reward will not be much.
"Try to fight one?"
When Qiao Shan fought in the dark lair before, he didn’t accumulate enough energy and didn’t get any rewards.
At this moment, seeing the third-level dark nest he had targeted in front of him, the energy accumulation had been completed, and Qiao Shan wanted to attack it to test the harvest.
His two current goals are gold coins and experience.
He wanted to see if what emerged from this mature dark nest could satisfy his needs.
If that can be satisfied, then everything would be great.
He doesn't have to run around too much and can just find a treasure land directly, and he will be very happy.
"fall!"
After making the decision, Qiao Shan controlled the floating city and landed near the selected dark nest.
Fortunately, the distribution of the dark nests below, whether it is a coincidence or special, the distance between every two dark nests is no less than 50 kilometers.
The two nearest dark nests are each about sixty to seventy kilometers away.
Therefore, when Qiao Shan’s floating city falls, there is no need to worry about causing the outbreak of two dark nests at once.
"boom!"
A minute later, the floating city shook slightly and finally landed on the ground.
Wow~
The moment the floating city landed, the dark nest that Qiao Shan had targeted suddenly glowed with light and was directly activated.
Wow~
Wow~
Wow~
When the floating city approached from the ground, the dark nest suddenly lit up and a hole suddenly opened.
Various orcs, including lion-headed men and tiger-headed men, who had strong muscles and were two or three meters tall, rushed out of the dark nest.
Their target was the floating city where Qiao Shan had landed five kilometers away from the dark nest.
roar!
roar!
roar!
An orc holding a black weapon and with a strange black light on his body, was running quickly in the dark and strange black forest.
Soon, they split into several teams and rushed to the bottom of the floating city from three directions.
“Full fire!”
Seeing that the orcs had already rushed to the bottom of the floating city, Qiao Shan directly ordered Alice to start the attack of the entire defense tower.
He guessed that the monster that escaped from the level three dark nest had a combat power of at most level five or six, not much higher.
whoosh!
whoosh!
whoosh!
Following Qiao Shan's instructions, arrows shot out from the floating city whose protective shield had been opened.
In an instant, all the orcs running in the front fell to the ground.
"Experience +107"
"Experience +113"
"Experience +91"
.
At the same time, Qiao Shan immediately heard the information about his experience improvement.
"It's only about level 5 or 6, which isn't very high. Can each one give you about 100 experience points this time?"
Looking at the fallen orc and hearing the system sound ringing in his ears, Qiao Shan pondered in his heart.
Compared to the dark nest he fought for the first time, this time the dark nest, which was already fully charged with energy, actually gave him experience.
Qiao Shan was still very happy about this.
Killing an orc gives 100 experience points.
According to the [prompt sound] just now, the number of Orc monsters in the third-level dark nest that I activated this time is 2 million.
If each one can give 1 million experience points, a dark nest in Qiaoshan can gain 200 million experience points.
He still wanted this kind of experience.
In the entire Dark Lair area, there are nearly a hundred such Dark Lairs, and each one gives 200 million. If all of them are cleared, Qiao Shan’s team can gain tens of billions of experience.
Such a huge amount of experience may be able to advance his level to the ninth level, or even the middle of the ninth level.
This is what Qiao Shan likes very much.
Of course, the premise is that all these dark nests are in a state of full energy, and they are not opened prematurely because of the sudden fall of the floating city.
According to Qiao Shan's wandering over the dark nest area just now, he knew that the dark nest with full energy like the one in front of him at the moment actually only occupied one-fifth or even one-tenth of the entire area.
The number is not large.
Therefore, his idea of ​​using the Dark Lair to directly gain 10 billion experience points was just a thought.
In fact, it is impossible to gain so much experience.
If you clear all the dark nests with full energy, you will only get a maximum of 10 billion experience points, or even less than 10 billion.
Qiao Shan, who already had experience in clearing the Dark Lair, knew that if he forced to clear the Dark Lair without accumulating energy, he would not gain any experience. He had already tested this.
whoosh!
whoosh!
whoosh!
While Qiao Shan was thinking and judging, his defense tower did not stop attacking at all.
The orcs that rushed forward were all shot and killed by the defense tower before they got even 1 kilometer close to the floating city.
"The Tower Elf is taking action! Use Multi-Shot and Dark Arrow!"
Seeing that the defense tower completely blocked the monsters one kilometer away, after thinking for a while, Qiao Shan let his newly upgraded eighth-level tower elf take action.
All of them are level eight tower elves, with powerful abilities, but he has not used them yet.
Although the monsters spawned from the level 3 dark nest at this moment are only level 5 and 6, they are not enough to test the power of the tower elf.
When using them to test it, the Tower Elf can copy his ability of three skills at a time, which is still acceptable.
Qiao Shan is looking forward to the ability of the Tower Elf to summon 32 skeletons at a time.
If everything goes well, with the five pagoda elves plus himself, the six of them can summon 192 skeleton summons after one round of attack.
This suddenly greatly increased his attack flexibility.
Wow~
Wow~
Wow~
Following Qiao Shan's instructions, five newly upgraded tower-transforming elves quickly flew to the edge of the floating city, and then in Qiao Shan's expectant eyes, they all turned into huge defense towers more than 50 meters high.
After the eighth-level tower-transforming elf transforms, its appearance changes drastically.
Like a ** pagoda, it has eight facades, and on the eight towering facades, there are arrow loops extending out.
The cold arrows exposed from the raft were very dazzling.
whoosh!
whoosh!
whoosh!
The elf transformed instantly and immediately shot out the arrows on his body.
Arrows shrouded in black mist shot directly at the orcs in front.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The tower-transforming elf inherited twice the attack power of Qiao Shan, so of course it could instantly kill fifth- and sixth-level orcs.
Wow~
Wow~
Wow~
After a round of arrow attacks from the five tower elves, one hundred and sixty skeleton knights appeared on the spot!
“YES!”
Seeing the wave of attacks from the Tower Elf, it not only shot 32 arrows, but also successfully summoned the Skeleton Knight.
Qiao Shan understood that his test was successful.
From now on, when he needs to summon skeletons infinitely, he won’t have to work hard alone.
There are five pixie towers to help him.
Looking at the five tall tower elves that continued to shoot in front of him, Qiao Shan felt extremely happy.
Done!
He knew very well that if he had five eighth-level tower-transforming elves before when he was fighting in the fixed-open void wormhole.
Then the speed at which he reached the 100th wave would definitely double.
With five pagoda elves helping him summon skeletons, he will be able to do more things with his hands freed up.
The five little elves in the tower perfectly inherited his skills.
The five of them attacked together, faster than him, steadier than him, and stronger than him!
whoosh!
whoosh!
whoosh!
Wow~
Wow~
Wow~
Under the summons of the Tower Elf, within a few seconds, the number of Skeleton Knights in front reached thousands.
"Defense tower stop attacking!"
I saw the power of the Tower Pokémon, and also saw that the number of skeleton summons was almost the same.
In order to further test the limits of the tower elf, Qiao Shan asked Alice to stop the attack on the defense tower on the floating city.
Wow~
Wow~
Wow~
Obey orders!
Soon, the defense tower stopped attacking, and on Qiao Shan’s floating city, there were only five units still attacking, and they were the tower-transforming elves that could launch an instant-kill attack at a time.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
As the defense tower stopped attacking, the Orc monsters began to rush forward.
Soon, the skeleton knight summoned by the tower elf collided with the orc monster.
Without the suppression of the huge defense towers, the Orc monster finally approached the Skeleton Knight.
Wow~
Wow~
Wow
But then, more Skeleton Knights appeared.
The orcs smashed many skeleton knights, but the tower elves summoned more.
As the defense tower stopped attacking, all the orcs were eliminated by the tower elves. Qiao Shan discovered that the attack speed of the tower elves had actually increased.
The previous shooting speed of two rounds per second has now almost become three rounds per second.
Johnson's stress test was successful.
The combat power of the Tower Elf can indeed be improved!
whoosh!
whoosh!
whoosh!
The tower-transforming elf fought with all his strength and quickly pushed back the orc army that had rushed forward a few steps.
As more and more Skeleton Knights were summoned, the confrontation point began to move forward.
"Um?"
Half a minute later, seeing the situation ahead, Qiao Shan frowned.
There are changes!
He noticed the difference!
As he summoned more and more Skeleton Knights, he found that the attack frequency of the Tower Elves had decreased again.
From the highest rate of three rounds per second, it has now dropped to one round per two seconds.
“Can it also automatically judge the situation?”
Soon, Qiao Shan determined that the Huata Elf was automatically adjusting its shooting speed according to the movements on the battlefield.
These eighth-level elves, who have activated high-level intelligence, actually know how to adjust their combat efficiency.
Moreover, Qiao Shan also saw that more and more Skeleton Knights were summoned in front of him.
These tower-transforming elves actually began to automatically change the types of summoned creatures and started summoning skeleton archers instead.
Melee Skeleton Knights cannot stack their positions, and as their numbers increase, there is no room for them anymore.
The tower elf can actually automatically summon skeleton archers with overlapping positions and no skill restrictions as the battlefield changes.
This gave Qiao Shan an even bigger surprise.
Sure enough, the eighth-level tower elf had more parameters waiting for him to explore.
The eighth-level elf not only has extraordinary combat power, but its wisdom and control over the battlefield have also instantly improved by several levels.
The more Qiao Shan looked at it, the happier he became.
"With the tower elf, the defense tower and I are free!"
After a few seconds, Qiao Shan discovered that with the automatic control of the Huata Elf, he didn't have to take any action or worry about anything.
It seems that the tower elf can arrange everything automatically.
"Can I hang up now?"
Looking at the situation around him, Qiao Shan suddenly felt like he was automatically on AFK fighting monsters.
When facing such a monster, the eighth-level tower-transforming elf simply freed up his hands.
No need to worry or get involved.
"good!"
After realizing that he could actually be lazy, Qiao Shan nodded, rode on Qin Dalong's two-headed flying dragon, and flew directly into the sky.
I started to check the monsters from the air, and the automatic combat adjustment of the tower elves...
.
"Um?"
A minute later, Qiao Shan, who was riding on the two-headed flying dragon and observing the battlefield from a God's perspective, once again discovered an abnormality.
It’s not enough to blame!
As he rose into the air and as more skeletons were summoned, he found that the battle line had been pushed forward a lot again.
Even because the front line was pushed forward, it was beyond the range of the Tower Elves.
Several elves in the towers stopped shooting.
After a wave of skeleton summons were consumed and the monsters pushed the front line back, the Tower Elf continued to attack.
The reason for all this is that there are not enough monsters.
There are a large number of monsters in the level three dark nest that he activated.
Up to 2 million.
However, with such a large number of monsters, it is not like a void wormhole. The faster you kill them, the faster I will kill them.
The monsters in the Dark Lair refresh at a constant rate.
There is no automatic adjustment mechanism at all.
This monster spawning mechanism is very friendly to newcomers who have just turned on the air shield.
Such monster spawning frequency and mechanism can allow newcomers to have more arrangements and adjustments.
It also gives newcomers more chances of survival.
But for Qiao Shan, this is not beautiful.
With his extremely powerful attacks and complete crushing power, he certainly hopes that monsters will refresh quickly.
This way he can clear the third-level dark nest in front of him at a faster speed.
Unfortunately, things did not go as Qiao Shan had expected.
Although his combat power was enough to kill a large number of monsters instantly, the defense towers were all stopped at this moment. Only the floating city where the tower elves took action had already forced the monsters back.
Logically speaking, under such circumstances, more monsters should erupt from the Dark Lair.
But, it didn’t!
The monster spawning frequency in the Dark Lair remains constant and remains unchanged.
Another half a minute later, Qiao Shan rode the two-headed flying dragon and circled the dark nest where monsters were spawning for several times. He then confirmed another disadvantage of spawning monsters in the dark nest by himself - it was time-consuming!
The dark nest of monsters constantly refreshed, making it impossible for him to kill monsters quickly.
His monster-killing speed can only follow the speed at which monsters erupt from the Dark Lair.
Can't adjust it by myself at all.
Through observation, Qiao Shan also roughly calculated that based on the current monster spawning speed of the Dark Lair, it would take him about four hours to clear this level 3 Dark Lair with 2 million monsters.
This immediately made Qiao Shan frown.
He didn't expect that in the dark nest where energy was accumulated, there would be such a mechanism for monster refresh.
It took him less than an hour to refresh the void wormhole from 46 waves to 100 waves in one go.
At this moment, a level three dark nest would take him four hours.
Qiao Shan couldn't bear it any longer.
Maybe for others, this speed is okay.
But for Qiao Shan, it was a bit too slow...
A bit too slow...
This is not his style.
"Send out all the dragon spearmen to find gold mines!"
Helplessly, Qiao Shan could only arrange other things.
The rhythm of the erupting dark nest monsters has been strictly controlled by the Tower Elf, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
But it seems that this monster-killing will have to continue for more than three hours.
Qiao Shan planned to take the opportunity to take a good look at the nearby area as he had another need - a gold mine.
At this moment, in addition to the need for gold coins, he has another need, which is gold coins.
In the area where the Dark Lair is located, there is a level five Dark Lair that can refresh monsters of around level eight.
Qiao Shan wanted to see if there was the gold mine he needed in such an area.
If there is, then the amount of gold coins that can be mined from the gold mine that accompanies the eighth-level monster should be quite a lot.
At this moment, the Huata Elf can control everything automatically.
However, the monster refresh rate is too slow, so it takes a long time to kill monsters automatically.
Qiao Shan wanted to take this opportunity to look for other things he needed.
In addition, he also wanted to take another closer look to see how many dark nests with full energy there were in the entire area.
Moreover, he also wanted to calculate how long it would take to attack all these dark nests with full energy, and what the final benefits would be.
"yes!"
Hearing Qiao Shan's instructions, Qin Dalong responded quickly.
Soon, a group of dragon-catching spearmen riding on flying mounts flew out from Qiao Shan’s floating city.
They spread out and quickly began to check the sky above the dark nest area.
Earlier, Qin Dalong had led the dragon-catching spearmen to inspect the dark nest.
At this moment, the dragon-catching spearmen who set out again were familiar with the route and soon dispersed and entered an area that looked like a dark forest with many dark nests.
“This way!”
And Qiao Shan, riding on Qin Dalong's two-headed flying dragon, also began to search personally.
It's boring to stay in the floating city and watch the little elves in the tower fight monsters automatically.
Qiao Shan rode on a two-headed flying dragon, circled around the floating city, and checked it out personally.
He wanted to see if he could be lucky enough to find a gold mine near this level three dark nest, which was not of a low level.
Wow~
Wow~
Wow~
While the battle continued near the floating city, the two-headed flying dragon under Qiao Shan slowly flapped its wings.
After reaching the eighth level, due to the power of the sun's authority, his vision was no longer affected by darkness.
Riding on the two-headed flying dragon, Qiao Shan carefully searched for any bright yellow dots on the dark ground below.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Occasionally, when he sensed a special place, he would shoot arrows and explode some stones.
After blasting the ground with arrows, I quickly checked for possible golden minerals...
