Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 121 Sacrifice Ceremony
And this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that Levi did not find the leader, nor did he find the werewolf commander who ran in before. This unknown is more terrifying.
Signaling the troops to suspend their actions and pay attention to hiding, Levi looked at Donna: "Are you sure?"
Donna understood what he meant without further explanation . She nodded lightly, "If we run over there, it will indeed take a lot of time, but the straight-line distance is actually not that far. In addition, we have the advantage of being high above, and using the projectile skill, I am about 70% sure of success. And those crane gunners can also play a certain role."
After recruiting them, Levi also let the crane gunners fight several times, and it turned out that their strength was still very good.
The most important thing is that their shooting range is extremely long, second only to Donna, and their hit rate is extremely high . Not to say that they can hit the target every time, but they can hit it about 70% to 80%. With the blessing of Donna's battle attributes, they can basically kill a level 2 jackal in one round of salvos, and a level 3 jackal will also be seriously injured.
Although in a one-on-one duel, due to their extremely slow shooting speed, they may find it difficult to defeat even a level 1 gnoll, but this is because their positioning is different, they are not used to kill monsters, they are specifically used to fight BOSSes, like now!
"But to be on the safe side, it's better to enchant our arrows," she added.
Levi nodded. Normally, he used the Burning Arrow Technique most often, but he obviously couldn't do that against demons that were generally resistant to fire, so he directly summoned the Ice Yakong and asked them to perform ice enchantments on the archers. Thanks to his newly acquired ring, the magic limit of each Ice Yakong was increased, and they could use the enchantment several times.
After they ran out of magic, Levi would directly send one back and summon a new Ice Akong. He repeated this several times, and soon all the archer units had more than one ice arrow, which would be particularly advantageous when fighting against the demons below.
Then Levi personally tried to use the magic weapon enchantment on Donna's quiver multiple times. Although most demons are of fire attribute and will suffer additional damage when hit by ice attribute, if something unexpected happens and a demon that is resistant to ice attribute suddenly appears, then these attributeless magic arrows in Donna's hands will have the opportunity to show their skills. It is always .
After discussing strategies and tactics to deal with several situations that might arise next, Levi felt that it was time to take action.
Although according to Cindy and the others' observations during this period, there seemed to be only some stupid low-level demons below, and they had not been able to discover them until now, but the previous werewolf commander had never been found, so there was obviously still room for hiding here.
Moreover, there was no telling when a few jackals might suddenly appear from behind. If they shouted a few times, their surprise attack plan would end in failure, so Li Wei would rather take the initiative.
He just didn't believe it. Once he killed all the demons under him, where could their leader hide?
But just when the arrow was on the string, Cindy in front suddenly raised her white and tender little hand, signaling them to hold off.
Levi's expression immediately became serious. Cindy had only been there for a short time and did not have much knowledge or combat experience, so when Levi and Donna were discussing, she was mostly listening and learning rather than expressing opinions.
But in a situation like this, it must mean that she has discovered something very extraordinary!
As expected, there was soon some commotion below. Several mysterious people in black robes appeared from nowhere. In front and behind them, in addition to several three-meter-long, hideous-looking level 3 monster hellhounds, there was also a strong werewolf with purple-black hair all over his body, protruding fangs, and almost twice the height of two people.
Although the spots on his body were gone, Levi still subconsciously thought that the other party was most likely the werewolf commander who had escaped here before, but its momentum was obviously much stronger now.
Donna also nodded vigorously at Levi, she also thought that it was definitely the guy who ran away!
Levi took a deep breath, and he felt as if there was a strange throbbing coming down over his whole body.
So far, he might be considered a powerful God-chosen hero, standing out among his peers, but not having an overwhelming gap with everyone else.
But now, his subconscious mind is telling him that as long as he gets rid of the demon army entrenched in this place, he will have everything, including experience, money, and even other things!
Levi once again reconfirmed the battle plan, and generously used the many magic scrolls and magic potions he had just obtained yesterday, releasing many buff states on himself, and at the same time summoned several Guang Yakongs as guards.
No matter how big the reward may be, there is a prerequisite, that is, you can survive to the end!
Just when he was ready to issue the order, Donna suddenly made a gesture, indicating that he should not take action for the time being.
Levi's expression suddenly became serious, knowing that something extremely special must have happened, otherwise Donna would never make such a decision.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, he heard chanting coming from below. First, some messy demons emerged from the surrounding red walls. Then, an elliptical portal wrapped in flames was opened, and more low-level demons swarmed out, occasionally mixed with a few hideous gnolls.
But they were obviously taller than all the gnolls Levi had seen before, even the level 3 gnoll warlords were no match for them. Their eyes were full of cruelty and desire for killing. More importantly, they all had the same mark on their foreheads, and its shape was very much like a flail with three heads!
Several Guang Yakongs beside him were a little excited at the same time. The leading Level 3 Guang Yakong couldn't help but whisper to Levi: "My lord, this is not an ordinary werewolf, it is a Purgatory Werewolf. It is very likely a follower of Yenogu, the Lord of the 422nd Layer of the Abyss - the Abyss Demon - the King of Werewolves. That mark is exactly the shape of the weapon used by Yenogu!"
Before Levi could figure out the true meaning of this series of titles, he saw one of the men in black robes pointed his finger, and the jackals immediately took action, waving their flails everywhere, and smashed seven or eight small monsters and inferior demons to death cleanly and neatly. They were so scared that they ran around screaming and squeaking, but the place was so small and there were other low-level demons everywhere around, so they couldn't run away even if they wanted to.
At this time, another man in black robe stretched out his hand and grabbed. With a flash of fire, a pentagram made of flames appeared on the ground. Then a few jackals grabbed and kicked the corpses, and threw them into the huge fire pit.
The hot magma just licked it lightly, and several corpses were burned to ashes immediately, while the bodies of the werewolves who attacked also showed strange changes.
While they were howling in extreme pain, their bodies gradually shrank and their momentum weakened a lot. Obviously, their strength might have weakened as a result, but they became more like the gnolls Levi had encountered before, and even the mark on their foreheads disappeared.
Levi understood instantly why there were so many gnolls in the Stoney Highlands and why they were endlessly killable. This was because they were not born or recruited, but were most likely transformed through this special sacrificial ritual!
The Abyss is a special plane in legend that is endless, extremely harsh, and always filled with battles and killings. It is also the territory of demons.
It is said that the number of demons there is incalculable, and so are the number of battles. In addition, they are also engaged in a brutal battle called the "Blood War" with the devils occupying the Nine Hells, and it is said that hundreds of millions of people die every day.
If these gnolls came from the 422nd layer of the Abyss, then even if a hundred thousand or a million died, let alone 10,000, it would only be a serious injury to Yeenoghu, the King of the Gnolls, but not really fatal.
But why did he deliberately transform the demon gnoll into an ordinary gnoll to avoid being discovered by the high elves?
It can't be that they are just too numerous and so they are letting them die in vain, right?
Thinking about the sacrifices that had just happened and were still happening, Levi felt that he had vaguely guessed the truth.
While the gnolls were being killed by the chosen heroes, their subordinates would also surely suffer casualties. If the gnoll king Yeenoghu was not content with using ordinary gnolls as sacrifices, and wanted more humans, half-elves, or even true high elves as sacrifices, then this would most likely be a large-scale sacrifice covering the entire Stoney Highlands!
