Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 117 Spider Web Technique, Duet
A quarter of an hour later, the old wizard, under the protection of several newly summoned animals, began to try to leave the Rocky Highlands completely. He even packed up his tree house and took it away, which turned out to be a very precious magical item.
Levi, who parted ways with him, soon became abusive, which made Donna and Cindy beside him couldn't help but smile.
But it’s not entirely his fault, because he originally came here to complete a mission, so how did he end up doing business with the other party without realizing it?
And after he had spent almost all his savings on the other party, he discovered that the old man was seriously hiding something from others.
He had spent money to copy several spells that were not on the list when he advanced. Should he say he was a businessman? He was indeed cunning. Even though he had been careful, he was still cheated by this old guy.
And even with this, he was almost certain that the other party was still hiding something.
Looking at what I have copied now, apart from a few enhanced skills such as the secondary Bull's Strength and Cat's Grace, and the first-level magics such as Endurance of Elemental Damage, Magic Missiles, and Arcane Mark, the only second-level magics are 1 Protective Arrow and 1 False Life.
In addition, there is a first-level magic that is common to mages, druids, rangers, etc. - Summon Poison Ivy. Since Levi is the only one who owns the magic book at present, he copied it down first. When he has free time, he will buy one for Donna. Although she is not a magician, as a hero unit, she can also use it.
And Levi also wanted to know, what is the difference in learning speed between Donna, a hero unit, and Janet, who is just a level 2 elite?
But what made Levi very unhappy was that the list given by the old wizard did not even contain a single level 3 or 4 magic.
Magic Missile, Fireball, Invisibility, these three magics are extremely popular among the indigenous mid-level wizards, but this old guy only knows how to use a level 1 magic missile.
But since he was able to hold an advancement ceremony for himself, it meant that he was at least a level 10 or level 5 mage, so how could he only know level 0-2 magic? This old guy was still hiding something!
It seems that I need to prepare more money next time and dig out more of the other party's money.
But after a brief surprise, he became a little confused. Given the other party's stingy and cautious attitude, why would he use such a precious ring to trade with him?
He also used summoning magic, and it was even taken off his hands directly. He shouldn't be so short of money, right?
Or is this ring actually stolen goods? Just looking at its style, it is clear that it was probably used by the green orcs.
Did he steal it or rob it?
After thinking about it, Levi could only believe that this possibility was the greatest. If it was stolen goods, it seemed that he could find the reason why those greenskins would not hesitate to step into the rocky highlands and continue to attack him. Maybe he had snatched it from the greenskins.
The enemies in this game are not all wild monsters. If the indigenous people have their equipment stolen, they may of course take retaliatory actions and try to get it back.
The old guy said that he was passing by the greenskin tribe and accidentally exposed his money, so he was chased and hacked by the other party. But now it seems that the fact may be the other way around. He stole other people's things, so the greenskins chased him!
But it doesn’t really matter. As a hero chosen by God, most of his equipment is obtained from the enemies.
What's more, theoretically, the origin of that battle treasure is not particularly bright, because there is a twisted tree spirit named Maokai behind him who can make battle treasures. Even if he is not a heroic unit, he is definitely a strong enemy.
Before the fallen treeman leader died, he was still mumbling about the failed mission. Does this also mean that the twisted treeman is also planning some conspiracy?
Now that the battle treasure is in the hands of the old wizard, it naturally helps Levi share the pressure. It can be said that the two of them have cheated each other this time.
Thinking of this, Levi felt much better. Although he had used up several treasures and had spent all his gold coins, the rewards were extremely amazing. Moreover, as long as he waited for a few days, he would learn all the magic and his combat effectiveness would be further enhanced.
The old wizard may make a lot of money from this wave of transactions, but he will definitely not lose anything!
After figuring it out, Levi and his team continued to encircle and suppress the werewolves, and tested the newly acquired magic and equipment several times in succession.
Then he used two spider web spells to directly cover more than 90% of the troops in a large werewolf hunting group. Except for the two strongest werewolf generals, all the remaining were hit hard by several rounds of arrow rain, and those arrows were almost impossible to dodge.
You have to know that in the previous battles, those gnolls would not just take a beating. Not only would they move their feet, but their bodies would also dodge. To some extent, ranged units in actual combat were mostly shooting at moving targets.
Except for Donna who was accurate enough in shooting, other shooters relied more on their large numbers to carry out covering fire on the enemy, and they could not achieve a 100% hit rate.
However, after being covered by the spider web, the enemies could only take the beatings, and their hit rate increased significantly at once.
Even a decent counterattack is impossible, as most gnolls prefer close combat, either using flails or simply using claws.
Even if there are a few ranged units occasionally, they use inferior crossbows with short range and relatively slow attack speed. Only the Werewolf Hunting Masters use proper bows and arrows as weapons, but as a Tier 3 unit, their number is extremely small after all.
The moving target became a fixed target, and based on Levi's current strength, the jackals that entered the net often could not escape for more than ten seconds and could only be shot to death. Occasionally, there were a few lucky jackals, but they could not break through the defensive formation formed by Zhou Miyin and Cindy. Such a third-level magic actually completely changed the situation of the battle.
Of course, while it has amazing effects, it also has certain drawbacks. The first is that it consumes too much magic, and the second is its biggest weakness - fire.
But no matter what, it was very comfortable to bully these gnolls who didn't know magic. The result of the battle would appear almost immediately after a spider web spell was cast.
Next was the new ring he had acquired. It must be said that although this old wizard looked like a rip-off, the effect of the equipment was really not compromised at all. Levi tried it more than a dozen times in succession. No matter whether it was summoning elements, monsters, or even sub-airies, they would all be treated equally by the ring as summoned creatures and would be effective.
The most confused ones among them were probably the Yakongs.
It's not just because they are smarter, but also because if Levi follows the original agreement, when he performs the Sub-Sky Summoning, in addition to consuming magic, he also needs to pay the other party a certain amount of money as a reward.
But the extra Sub-Kong that was summoned now didn't receive a penny, and Levi took advantage of it for free...
And maybe Levi's luck was quite good today. Although the ring said the probability was 22%, he used it 5 times in total and got it for free 3 times. Two of them were the 3rd-level Water Yakong and Ice Yakong respectively, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
After all, according to what Donna said, and the rules he summed up from summoning Yakong many times, Yakongs are similar to professional mercenaries who fight wars specifically for money. Now that he keeps getting free stuff from them, will there be any hidden dangers in the future cooperation between the two sides?
Shui Yakong, the man he rescued, had once made it very clear that if he encountered danger, he might choose to run away early.
Although the subsequent Sub-Arks did not have this additional explanation, and there was even more than one Sub-Ark who fought to death in the face of the enemy, if they were Sub-Arks who were taken advantage of for free, Levi was not sure if they would still be so brave and dedicated...
However, thanks to today's lucky time, Levi has a more comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of the third-level sub-spatters.
In addition to having their attributes and equipment enhanced to a certain degree, the Tier 3 Sub-Skys also have their own unique skills.
Among them, Guang Yakong is good at justice strike and anti-evil magic ring, and is best at fighting against creatures in the evil camp.
The various attributes of Water Sub-Kongs are relatively mediocre, but they have water combat characteristics, which can be more advantageous in special circumstances, and at level 3 they will gain a water shield skill, which can strengthen their own defense to a certain extent.
The Bing Yakong, who appears very rarely, gave Levi a big surprise. In addition to allowing him to officially open the favorability of Yakong (Ice), Bing Yakong also possesses a very unique skill.
Frost Blade, an active skill, consumes 20 magic points, and enchants a melee weapon with ice, making its attack carry 3-5 points of ice attribute attack. After hitting the target, the opponent's attack speed and movement speed are reduced by 5%-15%. It can also attack incorporeal creatures such as ghosts, and lasts for 5 minutes. If it is enchanted for arrows, the maximum number is 10, but the duration and slowing effect are halved.
This skill is almost a mutated version of the magic weapon. What Levi values most is its slowing effect. Combined with the grease on the feet and Donna's mobile shooting, in some extreme cases, it may be the key factor in defeating strong enemies.
Unfortunately, there was no slow-moving wild BOSS nearby for Levi to give it a try.
Whether it's the high-level vampire mentioned by the Lightforged, the black panther Shadow Claw mentioned by the Three Hands, or the saber-toothed tiger Laxili who is well-known for walking along the river all day and catching a few crocodiles to change his appetite, but still lives a very chic life until now, they are all enemies with extremely outstanding speed.
At the same time, Levi also roughly figured out that the rules for gaining extra battle experience in each battle were really related to the aspects described by the system.
After several consecutive battles, he could gain dozens to dozens of additional battle experiences each time. Although the amount was not much, when accumulated over time, this number could not be underestimated.
While he was thinking about it, Janet sounded the alarm again. A new group of Werewolf slave hunters appeared ahead. Perhaps because they were now very deep in the rocky highlands, the opponent's average strength and overall number had increased significantly. Even though their side had the advantage in numbers and strength, they had to be a little more serious to avoid losses.
If the other party can maintain this level, as long as everyone works hard, I'm afraid it won't take two days to collect enough village hearts.
Thinking of this, Levi cast the summoning magic again. In order to avoid casualties among his subordinates, it would be better to use summoned creatures as cannon fodder.
Then this time he unexpectedly discovered that he had summoned a level 3 elite water sub-kong, who was the guy he rescued at the magic pond at the beginning.
As soon as he appeared, he walked straight towards Levi: "Benefactor, I have something to discuss with you. Several of my brothers said that although they accepted the summons, they did not get the due rewards..."
Although the helmet covered his face and he couldn't see his face or expression, Levi seemed to be able to sense the other party's embarrassment. After all, the reason why he was able to possess this skill was because of the other party. It was even possible that the summoned sub-airs were introduced by the other party...
However, he also wanted to solve this problem a little bit. After all, he would not feel at ease using mercenaries who would fight for him without any payment.
So he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'm also thinking about this, but let's deal with the gnolls in front of us first, how about that?"
"Another evil enemy?"
Shui Yakong seemed to gain courage instantly. He drew out his water-colored sword with a swish: "That's right!"
Soon this brief encounter ended without any suspense. Although the jackals were strong, Levi's side was stronger. After some discussion, Shui Yakong left with satisfaction.
In fact, Levi was also very satisfied, because the other party made a promise on behalf of the three sub-kongs of water, light and ice that not only would they respond to Levi's summons as soon as possible, but it would also be an exclusive directional summons. Not only could he choose the attributes of the sub-kong himself, but also the specific class and even each individual sub-kong.
As long as the opponent is still alive and has not been summoned by others, Levi can designate the opponent to fight, including the third-level elite Shui Yakong.
Summoning is originally a matter for both parties, so even if Levi does not have any relevant magic or expertise, as long as the Sub-Skyrs are willing to fully cooperate, they can naturally accomplish such a thing.
In this way, he wouldn't have to worry too much about his experience points being taken away, because if the opponent could keep fighting until he advanced , he would most likely choose to join him like the small wind element did before.
The Yakongs are all professional war mercenaries. At the same time, they yearn for and admire the strong and are even more eager to fight against evil enemies. In their original world, it is difficult for them to have such an opportunity. Now that Levi summons them out and not only gives them the opportunity but also money, it is very natural for them to make such a choice.
Even because Levi has always been summoning Yakongs to fight against evil enemies, Shui Yakong also specifically promised that if Levi can continue to fight against evil enemies in the future, he may also contact Yakongs of other attributes to work for him together.
Like elemental creatures, the Subkon is also an extremely large group, including earth, fire, water, wind, light, darkness, ice, thunder, and even many Subkon with animal characteristics and their own unique abilities.
Of course, because the sub-kongs of various races are not completely integrated, if Levi wants to summon them, he needs to continue to improve his strength.
No matter where strength is placed, it is of vital importance. Shui Yakong even told Levi clearly that if he could have his own village or town in the future, the Yakongs would even be willing to try to move in permanently.
This made Levi overjoyed, because in this way, they would no longer be simple summons, but soldiers that could be hired permanently!
And this also made Levi have some guesses about his identity. On the surface, he looked like a mere rank 3 elite. How could he dare to say such a big thing? Most likely, there must be someone behind him!
Of course, Shui Yakong was not only here to benefit Levi, Levi also had to pay a tiny price for this, that is, from now on, even if he was summoned by the ring, he had to pay him normally, and he could no longer get it for free...
