Volume 2 Spread Wings Chapter 92 Visitors from the Underdark?
Before he had walked a few hundred meters, Levi received a very unexpected news from Donna.
"You mean, there's a good chance they came from the Underdark?"
Donna shook her head slightly. "I just guessed from the witch's abnormally white hair that she might have some drow bloodline."
The Drow are an evil branch of the elves. Like the Dark Elves, they love blood and killing, and they also like capturing slaves.
The difference is that the drow are active in the Underdark, which is beneath the surface of the earth.
There is no sunlight there, only some mosses that emit a faint glow, so after countless years of evolution, they gradually turned into special elves with dark skin, pale long hair, and an extreme fear of sunlight. This is why Donna said that she has some drow bloodline.
The High elves, Dark elves, Wood elves, and Drow elves are the four most important branches of the elves. However, except for the relationship between the High elves and the Wood elves, when any other two elves encounter in the wild, one of them must fight to the death.
As for other sea elves, grassland elves, blood elves and the like, they are subspecies with smaller numbers and extremely narrow distribution areas, and it is basically difficult to encounter them in the wild or ordinary villages and towns.
"Half-blood drow, and the Underdark?"
The former is fine, but the latter makes it hard for Levi not to associate it with those gnolls and the black dragon behind them who is trying to become a god.
It seems that I have to complete this task better so that I can get more information about the black dragon from the witch.
Unfortunately, he hasn't met any high-level indigenous people recently, so even if he had guessed this important news, he couldn't tell them.
Not to mention whether they are willing to believe it, even if they really believe it, there is no reward for them.
After secretly noting this, Levi checked the attributes of the bees again, trying to find some clues.
What's more, regardless of whether the witch Greta has other purposes, the beemen she gave to her are still very practical, and they each have a certain amount of experience points, which means that they have indeed had more than one combat experience.
Name: Drone
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Faction: Dark
Race: Bee People
Tier: Tier 2 (Normal), Experience value 13%.
Attributes: Strength 6, Agility 8, Constitution 5, Intelligence 2, Perception 3, Charisma 2
Health: 50
Natural Defense: 2
Equipment: Hardwood Spear (Gray - Rough)
Skill:
1: Air Charge, an active skill. After a little charge, it will temporarily increase the speed of the player. If the player attacks at this time, it will inflict an additional 3-5 points of charge damage. The cooldown time is 20 seconds.
2: Toxin Bite, an active skill. The bee man's bite will have a slight poisoning effect, causing it to lose up to 10 health points within 5 seconds.
talent:
1: Low altitude flight;
2: Toxic Tail Sting, an active skill that uses the tail sting to powerfully stab the enemy, causing 10-15 points of damage at random and adding a poisoning effect, causing the enemy to lose up to 20 health points within 10 seconds;
Note: After activating this talent skill, the stinger will remain in the enemy's body and will not regenerate until one day later. In addition, within the next 10 minutes, the drone will fall into a short-term weak state, with all attributes reduced by -1.
3: Low load capacity, passive skill. In order to maintain movement speed and flying ability, the bee man cannot wear armor other than cloth, and cannot use heavy cold weapons such as battle axes, war hammers, and two-handed swords.
Maintenance cost: 70 copper coins (weekly)
Leadership consumption: 3.
(In addition to mating with the queen of the bee tribe to continue their offspring, drones are also elite warriors in the hive, always ready to die in order to protect the hive or the queen)
At first glance, the attributes of the drone are very weak. It is almost an enhanced version of a fairy. Except for the agility attribute, everything else is not ideal.
But if combined with their skills, the actual combat effectiveness is not weak.
Although Toxic Bite is a useless skill and basically useless, because it is almost impossible for the enemy to let you get so close safely, but once the poisonous tail sting is activated, a few random pokes will probably seriously injure soldiers of the same level.
Unfortunately, its equipment is a bit poor, it cannot penetrate armor, and its health is low, so it is not suitable for frontal combat.
However, even if they encounter an enemy that they cannot defeat, they can retreat relatively smoothly with the aerial charge skill. Overall, drones are still very qualified scouts.
As for the level 1 bee soldiers, they are almost the same as drones, except that their attributes and skills are slightly weakened, and their speed is also very fast.
Of course, this refers to when they are flying in the air. Levi learned from the drones in a few words that once the bees land on the ground, their combat effectiveness will drop sharply.
This decline is not reflected in the weakening of attributes, but in the attack methods, etc., because their slender six limbs can hardly provide enough strength and explosive power when standing on the ground.
Unfortunately, apart from the three words "darkness", he did not find any other words that could be related to the Underdark, but this in itself also explains something.
Just look at the more common races of the dark system: drow, gray dwarf, trogg, harpy, medusa, manticore, and black dragon.
They are basically accustomed to living in the Underdark, and these bee people must be inseparable from that place.
But why does the note about drones emphasize "big queen"? Could it be that there are many queens among bees?
Faced with this question, Donna could only shrug her shoulders: "I'm not sure, but there should be some backup options. Otherwise, if the queen dies due to some accident, wouldn't the entire hive also perish?"
Levi nodded slightly, that was indeed the truth.
Shaking his head slightly, he decided not to think about these trivial matters for the time being, because the forest ahead, which was very rare in the rocky highlands, had come into view. As long as he won this battle, he would be able to get more information from the witch when he returned.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw the big loli Cindy looking at Donna again with shining eyes full of admiration, and she almost shouted out that she was envious and admired her.
This made him grin involuntarily. Really, he still hoped that Cindy could learn less from Donna. She was a good lady, and although a little violent, that was also required by her job. She shouldn't be led astray by Donna.
There are no men on their Paradise Island, so Amazons don't have to worry about other people's opinions, but this is land, so this is not a good idea...
Unfortunately, the plan was not as fast as the changes. When Levi and his team arrived, they found that someone had already got there first.
There were about dozens of indigenous soldiers and a dozen wild beasts, led by two God-chosen heroes, fighting against a group of more than twenty tree men who were three or four meters tall, roughly human-like, and had dark-colored bark.
After seeing the situation clearly, Levi frowned immediately, because the other party were also two high elves.
If it is another evil race, he can choose to attack without hesitation. If it is a human or a dwarf, he can also consider whether to use violence.
However, going to war among the same race would have a huge impact on his reputation, which might even directly affect the exchange of his military merit points.
So we can't use force, we can only use our wits to see if we can make a deal with the other party.
But it’s no wonder. Most areas of the Rocky Highlands are next door, and suddenly a large and dense forest appears. Anyone who sees it will want to come and take a look, right?
But Donna next to him shouted impatiently: "Levi, someone is stealing the monster, what should we do now?"
Although she could not see the system prompt for Levi to accept the task, she could still hear clearly the conversation between Levi and the witch. At the same time, she also knew that it was not appropriate to go to war among the same race, so she was somewhat annoyed.
The big loli Cindy next to him also began to speculate: "Brother Levi, did the witch also call other people to help defeat these fallen tree people?"
In fact, she didn't want to speak at first, because before following Levi, she had almost never gone out for adventure and had no experience. She was also afraid that she would say something wrong and thus affect brother Levi's judgment.
But last night, Brother Li Wei specifically talked about it with everyone during the night rest. He hopes that everyone will raise any ideas in time in the future, so that we can pool wisdom.
Similarly, this range also includes Sam and Zhou Miyin. The reason why Levi did this was mainly because he wanted to focus on training his elite subordinates.
If they only have strength but no wisdom, they are at most high-level fighters. However, he is still thinking of training them all into heroic units.
Levi waved his hand: "Don't be impatient, let's take a look at the situation first. The witch Greta should not deceive us on this point. She may not have even seen any other God's Chosen Heroes at all, and they seem to have just started fighting." The reason why he was so sure was that after spending a few hours with any of the God's Chosen Heroes, she should have known that most of the God's Chosen Heroes only work for the sake of profit. Why are you going around in circles to issue a mission to subjugate the tree people?
Just say it directly, so everyone can save effort!
"Sam, take the bees to scout the range of this forest and see if there are any other abnormalities. The others should stay on guard and be ready to fight at any time. I hope they are sensible enough."
Sam agreed immediately and quickly led the bees to the side of the forest. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to conduct a more careful and thorough investigation than before.
The bees, who were also very fast and were flying soldiers, made him feel a sense of crisis. He wanted to prove to the adults that the bees could not replace him!
This time no one spoke, so they sat and rested while watching the battle in front. Originally, because of the witch's attitude, they were quite cautious about this mission, and now it was a good opportunity to observe the enemy's fighting style and combat effectiveness.
