After spending a little time, his subordinates successfully cleaned up the battlefield. In addition to about 30 gold coins, Names also contributed several trophies to him this time.
1 fragment of the Hero's Spirit, which is basically a fixed reward after defeating all indigenous heroes.
But the other spoils contributed by Names were more valuable than this thing. I don’t know if he was really lucky this time, or if the system’s previous reminder that there would be extra rewards for defeating intrusive enemies played a role.
Spell Mastery, Feats: You become more proficient in the use of lower-level magic, reducing casting time (based on level and Intelligence).
For a long time, apart from the difficulty in obtaining powerful and rare magic, the biggest problem that has troubled mages is probably the casting time. Now that he has this expertise, Levi even feels that this one reward in this dungeon is enough.
After trying it a few times, he found that this expertise greatly enhanced low-level magic.
Now when he casts 0-1 level magic, he can do it instantly. Level 2 and higher level magic has also undergone obvious changes. No wonder Names' attack seemed so fierce before.
Next are two books of magic. The first one is called Oil Magic. Although it is only level 2, it can be considered a relatively rare magic.
Because it can be combined with any fire magic, or even an ordinary torch, to create a large amount of burning damage.
Levi's Ignition specialty only has a 50% chance of ignition, but the Oil Burning Technique combined with fire magic has a 100% chance of ignition, and the area covered is not small.
He had tried to find this magic when he was in the Novice Village, but it took him so long to finally see it.
After thinking about it, Levi did not use it himself, but gave it to Sally. This girl specializes in fire magic. In her hands, it will have more room to play, and it will also help her gain more experience points.
The second one is even more powerful. It is a 4th-level magic, the Flame Guard of the Balrog.
The types of demons are extremely complex, and there may be tens of thousands of them, but the Balrog is recognized as the strongest type of demon among all demons. It is said that they can even easily beat the five-colored evil dragons and the five giant metal dragons in close combat.
The magic named after it can surround the caster's entire body with magical flames. He himself will not be harmed, but anyone who touches or gets close to him will suffer heavy damage. It can be regarded as a protective magic to prevent enemies from getting close.
Of course, if he is willing to take the initiative to embrace the enemy, he can also turn it into an offensive magic.
However, no matter how powerful it is, it is not particularly suitable for Levi or Sally at the moment, because this thing does not distinguish between friend and foe. Once used, the surrounding friendly forces will also be harmed.
But it is a 4th-level magic after all, so Levi of course chose to learn it.
The last one is a special consumable.
Part-time license: the next time you upgrade, you can choose a part-time profession that matches your race, faction, and attributes from your initial profession. From now on, you will have a second profession.
Once selected, you will suffer a high experience value penalty, but when the level of the second profession is increased, you can normally enjoy the corresponding profession's life and magic bonuses, etc.
Seeing this, Levi suddenly became excited. The mage was an all-round player. His only disadvantage was that his health was too low and he had almost no proper healing magic.
But if he could work part-time as a paladin, wouldn't these two deficiencies be made up at once?
Unfortunately, after he read the detailed description, he realized that he was too happy too early. He also understood how high this so-called high amount was.
He is now an 11th-level wizard. If he chooses to work as a paladin part-time, the experience points required for the paladin to upgrade from level 0 to level 1 are the same as those required for the wizard to upgrade from level 11 to level 12.
But can this 11+1 really defeat a level 12 mage?
Or to be more extreme, wouldn’t the contrast between 6+6 and level 12 be even stronger?
Although 6+6 seems to be omnipotent, it can basically only learn level 3 magic at most. However, a level 12 wizard may have learned level 5 or even level 6 magic. The combat effectiveness of the two sides is simply not at the same level.
But that’s not all. If the level gap between the two professions exceeds 2, there will be an additional experience value penalty, and the experience value gained by killing enemies will be reduced by 20%.
From this point of view, the system obviously does not encourage part-time work. Levi believes that part-time work is most likely prepared for some indigenous people.
Unlike the chosen heroes, the natives do not rely solely on killing enemies to gain experience points. They can also grow by practicing martial arts, studying magic, etc.
Although the growth rate through other means is many times slower in comparison, if you persist for a long time, it is possible that you will suddenly master a second career.
It is even said that many gods would choose to work part-time, but the occupations and levels of mortals do not mean much to them, as they rely on divine power to fight, and they choose part-time jobs most likely just for fun.
In short, Levi believes that in the short term, choosing a part-time job can enhance survival ability and means of dealing with enemies, but in the long run, it is obvious that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
So Levi could only put it in his pocket with great regret and see if any other God-chosen heroes would be interested.
After all, not everyone is as eager to become stronger as he is. There are many people who come here purely for fun or for sightseeing.
When it comes to equipment, Names was very stingy and only dropped a green quality ring that increases fire damage. Levi didn't care about it as he was already very satisfied with the previous ones.
Before leaving the dungeon, Levi took out some gold coins and gave them to Alduin. He didn't say it was a reward for the mission or anything, but just said it was money to treat him to some drinks and sharks.
Alduin chuckled and did not refuse. Bronze dragons all like to eat sharks, and he, a dragonborn, is no exception. If it could be paired with some wine, that would be even better.
With the light flickering, after returning to the Black Castle, Levi discovered that they were indeed not the first wave to come out. Donna, Nar, Zhou Miyin and others had already been waiting there.
Seeing them, Donna couldn't help but laugh and said, "Levi, you are behind~"
After explaining a few words casually, Levi checked Donna's gains.
Just as he had expected, Donna completed the three copies very smoothly with almost no setbacks.
In addition to a large amount of gold coins and equipment, Donna's combat level also quickly increased to level 10. She has been following closely behind Levi.
Level 10 is a very critical threshold. In addition to acquiring a new skill - double arrow shooting, her other abilities have also been improved.
Double Arrow, an active skill that costs 8 magic points. You can shoot two arrows at a single target at the same time.
Consecutive arrows are shot continuously. When facing a stronger enemy, the opponent may be able to block or dodge some of the arrows, but when two arrows are shot at the same time, basically either all of them will hit the target or none of them will hit the target, which still greatly improves her offensiveness.
At 10th level, she can also choose a new favored enemy and a new favored terrain.
Her previous choices were dinosaurs, werewolves, and forests and deserts.
Levi originally wanted Donna to choose the demon type. Although the greenskins are also their enemies now, in the long run, the threat posed by the demons will obviously be greater.
But she said with great regret that this was not an option.
But she could change her mindset a little and choose alien creatures - evil, which would also achieve a similar purpose, and the effect might even be better.
Because in this way, not only demons will be restrained, but also devils and the like will be restrained.
Levi still couldn't figure out how the regulations were formulated and divided, but it was obviously better to do it this way, so he was of course very happy to express his support.
As for the terrain, after a brief discussion, this time she chose underground, which included several options including caves, dungeons, and the Underdark.
This will be of great help to them when they go to deal with the many evil forces underground.
And because of her specialty - Beast Friend, she can also have a third pet.
This time, she didn't care whether it was a big cat or not. Those two big cats were enough for her to pet. As long as the opponent was strong enough and not ugly, Levi also agreed to help her search for more related clues.
Then there is another piece of news. After reaching level 10, some natural magic has begun to appear in Donna's skill list. She can now go in the magic direction like Janet.
But both she and Levi knew that being broad-minded without being specialized was not a good thing, so she decided to continue with her archery skills.
At the same time, like Levi, Donna can also choose an advanced career, but unfortunately she has no idea for the time being.
Levi also inquired about it. Half-elves or elves can choose magic archer as an advanced profession. As the name suggests, they can add magic attacks to arrows. It is said that legendary magic archers can also create death arrows, which have a chance to kill the enemy instantly.
But Donna is an Amazon, and she does not meet the requirements for advancement to the Magic Archer. Unless she is taken back to Paradise Island, we can only wait and see later.
Then less than two minutes later, Cindy and Elegy also returned. Before he could see their figures clearly, Levi could already hear Cindy's excited voice. She seemed to admire Elegy very much.
Because the opponent in the copy had forcibly knocked away an ogre that was several meters tall and weighed several hundred kilograms. Levi knew that this must be the result of the fearless attack that Elegy had obtained before.
Xiaotian leveled up and gained the skill of removing disease. To be honest, this thing is pretty rubbish, and its effect is very similar to purification.
But Levi has basically let Xiaotian go. He just wants him to lead the legion's sub-kongs as the air force and a liaison between the sub-kongs. He no longer has any expectations about their combat effectiveness, so naturally there will be no disappointment.
Julia was lucky, her campaign level had just been raised to level 2, and the first campaign skill she acquired was archery (elementary). This made her cavalry troops more offensive.
Everything went smoothly in other aspects as well. Our side suffered almost no losses. Instead, many of our troops were promoted and we gained a large amount of spoils.
After thinking about it, Levi gathered a few hundred gold coins and decided to let Simon and Lisadiran escort Zhou Miyin to Zhoujiazhai to hire some soldiers.
Then he turned to look at Nar, who was talking to Alduin.
As if noticing his gaze, Nar smiled slightly, but before she could say anything, Levi had already stuffed a dozen seeds into her mouth.
Some of them were ancient guardians worth 15 gold coins, which he bought on his way to Moonbow Temple, and some were obtained from the dungeon.
In one of the previous three dungeons, they fought side by side with the wood elves against some beastmen. After easily defeating the enemy, the other side gave him some seeds that could also hatch little treemen and magic vines.
Although Janet, who is also a druid, can use it, to be honest, she has almost never used related items before and does not have the relevant skills. It is of no use to her and she is not very interested in it, so it is better to do her a favor.
Seeing this, Nar immediately waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, Levi, I have no objection to Alduin following you to fight. You don't have to give me such precious things anymore."
Although Levi had said before that the price of the Ancient Guardian had become so high as the Night Elves joined the Moonbow Goddess, she had also inquired about it secretly and found that it was still very expensive.
She hasn't yet repaid the favor she had received before. If she were to ask for more now, she might never be able to repay it!
Levi chuckled: "Of course, I know that with your friendship, you will only respect his choice and hope to see him become stronger, so these seeds are not for this matter at all. This is a thank you gift for your help as a friend."
"Besides, with them, you can probably help me better guard the Blood Glory, right?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Na was speechless. Levi had blocked all her escape routes, so she had to take it even if she wanted to.
On the other hand, Alduin was still grinning foolishly: "Nael, just take it. We are all friends anyway."
Nar rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, but she didn't refuse in the end. Although judging from the situation in recent days, Blood Glory was not in any danger at all, but at a critical moment, these seeds might indeed play a significant role, and she still had confidence in this.
After chatting for a few more sentences and determining the general development direction of the village and expressing their welcome to the Moon Singer and the Harpist Alliance to establish a permanent base in the village, Levi sent dozens of his subordinates to escort Nar back.
Although the passage is extremely secretive and Nar is a very capable fighter, it is always better to be more prepared.
After thinking about it, he handed the Return Home Stone to the other party. The other subordinates either followed him all day or stayed in the village without moving. The only one who might go out and encounter danger was Nar.
Especially since the Harper has sent a small team to operate in the Underdark, who knows, she might go along with them someday, and this Homecoming Stone might come in handy.
Of course, he hoped that the other party would never have the need to use it.
Nar was certainly a connoisseur. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Levi did not give her the chance. He simply waved his hand and told her to go back quickly and just help him guard the village.
Na was immediately touched and amused, but also a little angry at being interrupted. But in the end, she could only wave to Levi helplessly.
After finishing all these, Levi planned to let his subordinates continue training, and then set off again after Zhou Miyin and the others returned.
But before he could raise his foot, accompanied by a flash of light, a new God-chosen hero emerged from the dungeon. However, the opponent's troops were very distinctive, and they were all murlocs that should not be here.
Although under normal circumstances, many murlocs are in a neutral camp, but once they come ashore, they will quickly become weak in a short period of time. In serious cases, they may even die from lack of water.
The Black Castle is quite far from the sea, and the sea elves have recently been in conflict with the Shahuamin. Those who can come here to play dungeons obviously have some strength.
After a closer look, Levi understood a little bit. The other party was not a stranger. The guy leading the group was none other than Fei Shi, the God-chosen hero of the murloc tribe, whom he had rescued from the Shahua murlocs.
Later, the other party returned the favor and provided a lot of information about vampires and Shahua people , allowing him to use this information to successfully ambush the vampires in Bitao Village.
This guy is a bluegill fishman himself, but now he has some powerful sharkmen and nagas under his command, and even two beautiful mermaid girls. Obviously, he has benefited a lot from the original intelligence.
After greeting the other party from a distance, Fei Shi suddenly jumped three feet high and ran over happily.
After reminiscing about the past, Fei Shi also said with great joy that the Shahua people have now had direct conflicts with many aquatic races.
Due to the cooperation between the Shahua fishmen and the undead, many special water ghosts were created, which had a great impact on all living things in the water.
Coupled with the many evil deeds that the Shahua people had committed before, everyone was worried that the Shahua people might use the power of the undead to take the opportunity to expand their influence, so the scale of this war might be unprecedentedly large.
In addition to the murlocs and nagas, even the mermaids, who have always been beautiful alone and habitually remained neutral, have decided to join the battle this time.
In addition, there are the Loka fishmen, the conch sea people, the seal spirits, the wise dolphins, etc., all of whom chose to beat the drowning dog.
Of course, a big part of the reason why they were able to unite was because the Dolphin Goddess, Theresina, issued an oracle, allowing many intelligent dolphins to actively participate in the armies of mermaids and naga to assist them in fighting.
After hearing this, Levi immediately understood, because this Dolphin Goddess has another identity, that is, the wife of the God of Sea Elves - Deep Sea Seshela.
The sea elves and the Sahuagin were fighting, so she naturally had enough reasons to ask her believers to join in the battle.
In this world of gods and magic, the dolphins under her command are not only good-looking, but also have excellent combat capabilities.
The most amazing thing is that dolphins can gain experience points by helping any creature in the non-evil camp, just like killing enemies, including but not limited to fighting evil, rescuing people who fall into the water, etc.
It is just like the goddess is constantly issuing tasks to the dolphins. It is precisely because of the dolphins' actions that they have a very good reputation in all non-evil camps.
The ocean is so vast, and all kinds of misfortunes can happen to anyone in the sea. It would be great if you could be rescued by dolphins.
Correspondingly, the evil camp will not take the initiative to attack them unless it is necessary, because except for some extremely evil guys, even if the dolphins are very angry and dislike the other party, they will rarely take the initiative to attack.
Once the evil camp takes the initiative to attack the dolphins, other races and forces that have been rescued by the dolphins before and hope that the dolphins will stand on their side in the future may stand up and fight back together.
All in all, Levi believes that the Dolphin Goddess is definitely a very smart goddess, and the way she chooses to behave for the dolphins and herself is really smart.
But now even the dolphins have been mobilized, it is almost certain that the scale of the next war will definitely not be small.
What a pity! Levi could only sigh like this, but for the time being he did not have enough energy to participate in it.
After saying goodbye to Fei Shi, before Zhou Miyin returned, Levi was learning new magic and his subordinates were still practicing, when he saw Xiaotian running towards him happily.
As soon as he saw the expression on his face, Levi knew that he must be up to something good.
Sure enough, Xiaotian soon told him that the Elite Tiger Envoy said that he had some new companions who wanted to work for Levi, and they were the Wild Horse Envoys from the Gaidingtian Clan.
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It was the guy who killed Names before, and he was also the only Level 5 Elite Tiger Master. This guy was so active, maybe he was eyeing the hero spot?
He did have a complete hero's spirit in his hand, but in his plan, it should be kept for Lisadilan or Luna.
The experience points required to advance from level 6 to level 7 have increased many times, so even though Cindy is very strong and it will take more than a day or two for her to advance, Luna and the others should be almost reaching a bottleneck.
Of course they have certain talents, but they are not the best after all. Level 6 should be their limit.
However, if this Tiger Envoy is so enthusiastic, Levi does find it interesting. If he really performs well enough, it is not impossible to give it to him.
Anyway, with his current strength, the hero's spirit is not that difficult to obtain.
A few minutes later, Levi saw these beings called "Crazy Horse Envoys". He originally thought that they would be cavalry units similar to Centaurs, but in fact, they were just war horses with people standing on them, and even their hands were hooves.
Except for a torn crotch area under his hips, his entire body was clean.
Without weapons or armor, they looked more like warrior monks than cavalrymen, or ascetic monks who had few demands on the outside world. Their iron hooves were natural iron fists, and they didn't even need to clench their fists.
Instead, they have very muscular bodies, and their chests and shoulders are extremely broad, making them look like they are very capable in fighting and can withstand beatings.
In terms of strength, most of them are level 3, with a few at level 4. They have higher strength and stamina attributes, but are much inferior in other aspects.
In terms of skills, in addition to communication with their own kind, they also have detect evil, dispel (0-2 level negative magic), see through invisibility, run (increase movement speed) and the most important aid.
Aid: Strengthens the target's resistance to fear, temporarily granting it 10-15 health points for 5 seconds.
The 4th-level Mad Horseman has an additional skill, Fiery Horse Roar, which can cause sonic damage to enemy forces in a small area and slow down weaker enemies.
But in general, they have almost no effective conventional offensive means, let alone any weapon specialization.
Moreover, because their intelligence attributes are not high, even if they have many skills, they cannot use many of them under normal circumstances.
But as summoned creatures, they can be strengthened by the economical duet, which can increase the magic power by 20 points and provide more options in combat.
Their position is actually very clear, which is to serve as guards.
Although it was not the cavalry unit that Levi expected, he was still quite satisfied. Before each battle in the future, he would arrange one for Janet, Sally and other vulnerable magic units. A spell of assistance might save their lives at the critical moment.
Although he was somewhat satisfied in his heart, after sending off the Crazy Horse Envoys and expressing his gratitude to the Fierce Tiger Envoy, Levi still lamented with regret that it would be better if there were some celestial creatures that were more offensive or good at air combat.
Xiaotian and the Tiger Envoy looked at each other, both feeling somewhat embarrassed.
There are thousands of species in the Gaidingtian Clan, and almost all common animals that exist in the main world have corresponding celestial creatures in the Gaidingtian Clan.
However, not all celestial creatures are willing to join the battle, and even fewer are willing to accept the summons and come to the main world. Therefore, for the creatures in the main world, there may be only a few dozen common celestial creatures in total.
Some of the more powerful celestial creatures, such as the dragon-headed envoy, are close to legendary levels and are not something Levi can summon now .
The situation is similar for Xiaotian and his fellow Yakongs. Moreover, the Yakongs like to take the initiative to launch attacks on the demons and other evils in the Abyss, which results in that their military forces are not particularly sufficient and their willingness to accept summons is not particularly strong.
In the end, Xiaotian could only sigh helplessly to the Tiger Envoy, indicating that he was really powerless. It seemed that the Tiger Envoy's pursuit of becoming a hero would have to be postponed for a while.
Levi noticed this and couldn't help but snickering. Don't blame him for being a black-hearted boss. He just desperately wanted to become stronger.
He was reluctant to oppress Donna and Cindy, so he could only exploit the celestial creatures. Who told you to only be summoned creatures? If you became real people, there would be no such problems and troubles!
Xiaotian and the Tiger Envoy said goodbye and left. Levi was also ready to continue learning magic, but he didn't expect another system prompt to pop up.
"The five servants of the Gaiding Celestial Clan have sensed your kindness and have noticed the blessing of the good gods in you. They are pleased with your talent and efforts, and you have obtained the special expertise they have bestowed upon you - Heaven's Servant."
Celestial Servant, feat. The magic required to summon a celestial being, or the cost of making a deal, is slightly reduced.
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He knew what the five attendants represented.
The Yakong Clan is headed by the Seven Fierce Councils of the Heaven Realm, which is led by the Parliament, while the Gaiding Clan is a relatively loose group. They do not have any nominal king or anything like that.
But almost all of the Gedin Celestials submit to the most wise and powerful Lion-Headed Messenger, Prince Talishid, and five other servants from five different Celestial Tribes because of their strength and virtue.
The friendship between these six guys is also very deep. Basically, in most cases, they can be considered as one and can make decisions on behalf of the entire Gaidingtian clan.
Logically speaking, I should be grateful to the five servants for giving me this expertise, but the name of this expertise is really not very nice.
What is a waiter? Don't you know that every time the Gaiding Clan comes, they are always very obedient under your command?
Even if he is not the master and the Gaidingtian Clan is the servant, it is at least a cooperative or teammate relationship rather than a waiter relationship.
Although gifts were presented, Levi subconsciously felt that either the five attendants, who were celestial beings, looked down on him as a mortal, or they were not very smart!
After this little episode, Zhou Miyin quickly returned with the newly recruited troops. As expected, Zhoujiazhai kept its promise and immediately relaxed the recruitment permission when it saw that he had become a heroic unit.
Although it was said that Zhoujiazhai's military strength was not sufficient recently and the caravans were robbed one after another while traveling, he still brought back 30 3rd-level Jade Brave Halberd Soldiers and 4th-level Jade Brave Guards.
In addition, two rare level 4 soldiers - Heavenly Guards - were given as gifts, who were said to be able to serve as Zhou Miyin's personal bodyguards.
Zhou Miyin once served as a member of the Heavenly Court Guard for a period of time, and their strength is quite good.
Unfortunately, the other party was still stingy and did not give Levi the authority to recruit the Zhendan Five Elements Taoist priests and tiger people that Levi had been very interested in before.
But this is actually very nice. After all, Levi has never done any tasks that can enhance the reputation of Zhoujiazhai. The ability to recruit so many troops is almost entirely due to Zhou Miyin, the key link.
After replenishing the supplies, Levi took Alduin back to the front line - the Beastmaster Castle.
He did not go to Swineherd Town because he knew that Michaela was building a lot of buildings there. Although the greenskins' buildings were solid, they looked very ugly to her, and there was no planning at all. The greenskins just built houses wherever they wanted.
In addition, some buildings were destroyed in the previous battle, resulting in a rather messy town now.
Moreover, entering the Swineherd's Town is indeed a bit troublesome, so many God-chosen heroes still habitually use the Beastmaster Castle as their front-line stronghold.
However, I believe this situation will change soon, because the Swineherd Town has fallen, and the various villages and gathering points near the greenskins will definitely not be able to be defended.
It is estimated that in the next few days, the elves will advance northwards at least hundreds of miles, and they will definitely build a new bridgehead ahead.
The reason why Levi was so sure was because he failed to find Reiner after searching twice.
It was said that he was responsible for escorting a large amount of supplies, and considering his previous experience, this was already very obvious even if he had not had the time to ask Michaela.
After arranging for Simon to move freely around with the cavalry units, Levi began to explore the rifts leading to the Underdark according to Sally's instructions and fight against possible snakemen.
We had to deal with the greenskins in Swineherd Town before, so we didn't have time to take care of them for the time being. Now is a good time to clear out the trouble and explore other possible passages in the Underdark.
Sally was not captured from here, but closer to the border between the greenskins and the dwarves. If we can successfully find the passage to the surface world, is it possible to launch a surprise attack on the greenskins?
The Sun Knight did not travel with them this time, because he and Master were fighting the greenskins head-on, and following the instructions of Princess Belinda and Michaela, they tried their best to attack in the direction of Broken Bay, because many God's Chosen Heroes were already making efforts there.
At the same time, the navy and sea elves of the colony will also join the battle at the critical moment. If they can succeed, the Red Cloud Tribe will only have one town left, and it will be a matter of time before it is completely destroyed.
Then he discovered that Michaela had actually stationed a small team here to guard against possible enemies, but they certainly would not hinder Levi's actions.
As soon as he entered the underdark, Levi immediately felt that the reward given by the Moon Bow Goddess last time was really good.
Originally, they were marching in the Underdark. Even though the surrounding walls and ground were covered with various glowing mosses and minerals, and there were Holy Light Sub-Arks suspended in the air acting as lighting tools, the visibility was still not ideal, at best it was dim.
But now with the accompanying dark vision (special), Levi feels that there is no difference between him and the surface world.
Following Sally's guidance, they began to approach the snakeman's lair rapidly.
According to Sally, the fighting ability of these snake people may not be very good, but their vision is fine.
The location of the nest is quite spacious. Not only does it occupy a large area of ​​ground, it is also very high from the top of the cave, at least seventy or eighty meters. There is also an underground mine and a small river nearby. If it can be occupied for a long time, it can indeed develop very well.
Even Levi himself was a little tempted and considered whether to develop here long-term, but he gave up in the end. His troops were barely enough, but he did not have a suitable person to be in charge here.
Donna and Cindy are already able to stand on their own, but he still can't bear to let them go.
It seems that the only ones who can get a bargain here are the Sun Knights or Master and his men.
As we moved forward, I didn't know if it was because the snake people were too ferocious, but we hardly encountered any decent forces along the way. Occasionally we encountered some wild monsters, but they would run away early when they were still eight hundred meters away. We didn't dare to provoke them at all.
Only when you get close to the snake people's lair, will a tribe of mushroom people appear.
Mushroom people are what Levi called them. In fact, their official name should be mushroom people. It is said that they are a special humanoid species between plants and animals. They use mushrooms as a food source, are extremely afraid of sunlight, and may even be sunburned to death on the spot, and are treated the same as undead creatures such as vampires.
They look like oversized mushrooms with limbs and two dots on their heads as eyes. They have no ears, noses or mouths, but they achieve mental connection by releasing spores.
They are one of the few lawful, neutral and kind races in the Underdark, but they are a little weak and not very aggressive.
In addition to boxing, their greatest ability is to release spores to achieve effects such as hallucination, poisoning, and even control of corpses.
Besides being unable to be exposed to sunlight, their biggest weakness is that they must stay near the mushroom forest they grow for a long time to absorb some special nutrients from it, otherwise they will die.
They can go out for short periods of time, but cannot participate in large-scale expeditions, which makes it difficult for them to expand their territory.
As a result of so many reasons combined, even though they have a god of their own, their status in the Underdark is very low, and anyone can bully them.
However, those evil races generally would not kill them all easily. They preferred to treat the Qin people as slaves, let them grow food, or use them as food reserves.
Although many evil races are meat eaters and are not used to eating vegetarian food, they will not be so picky when they are very hungry.
The few kind races in the Underdark, such as dwarves and shield dwarves, are relatively friendly to them because they are the best at growing crops and can help the dwarves store raw materials for brewing wine, etc.
When Levi and his party passed by, these Qin people ran out very actively and took control of the corpses of some snakemen, bear goblins, fishmen, etc.
Because their control method is completely different from necromancy, these corpses are really just ordinary corpses and cannot be considered undead creatures. At most, they have a certain self-repair ability under the influence of some bacteria that Levi cannot figure out yet.
However, it can be seen that these Qin people also deliberately decorated these corpses, such as drawing a few symbols with blood, or wearing helmets made of beast skulls, etc., as if they wanted to increase their deterrent effect.
Janet seemed very excited after seeing them, because when the Bee Tribe was oppressed by the drow elves, the Qin people, who were also slaves, took good care of her. She even still has a big mushroom hat given to her by the Qin people, and she put it on very actively at this time.
The Qin people, who were originally wary of Levi and the others, suddenly became a little agitated, because they could tell at a glance that the hat must have been made by the Qin king of a certain colony, as a gift specially given to a trustworthy friend.
Two chubby Qin people immediately came out, seeming to want to communicate with them.
Levi originally planned to say hello and then go straight to the snake tribe, but after looking at Janet, who was a little excited and looking at him expectantly, and then looking at the corpses of the controlled bear goblins, he nodded and agreed to Janet's request.
Of course, in order to avoid accidents, Cindy and the pastors will also keep an eye on her. Although the Qin people are a kind race, there are inevitably some bad apples, so it is better to be cautious.
After getting approval, Janet flew over excitedly and put her little hand on Qin Ren's arm.
Less than half a second later, her face changed and she hurried back.
Donna behind her couldn't help but tighten her bow and arrow. If something went wrong, she could guarantee that these Qin people would definitely not survive today.
But Levi signaled Donna to stay calm, saying that Janet might be worried about something else.
Janet immediately said a lot of things to Levi. Since she and Qin Ren had just communicated mentally through special spores, although the time was short, she obtained a lot of information.
To put it simply, these Qin people are currently threatened by snakemen, bugbears, beholders, and some ratmen. They hope to form an alliance with Levi, or simply become his vassal.
In return, they were willing to farm for Levi and do other things within their ability. They had a humble attitude and were very aware of their own situation.
Levi thought about it for a moment and agreed. Farming was one thing, but if he had these Tan people, wouldn’t he have free labor after he took over the snake people’s nest?
The second important piece of information is that the snakemen have been fighting everywhere recently. In addition to some bear goblins, they are also fighting with war lizardmen and some other snakemen.
It is also because of this that the weaker Qin people like them can barely survive in the cracks.
Levi suddenly felt that something was wrong. He previously believed that the snake people nearby were all lured here by Set using the alias named Zehir. He was also a little curious as to why some snake people would still work for them. Set shouldn't be that kind.
After all, the more frequently you appear in public, the easier it is to be exposed.
But now the snake people are actually fighting among themselves. Does that mean that his previous speculation was wrong, and not all of these snake people were tricked by Set, but some of them actually ran over from the heart of Horace just to eliminate these traitors?
In this case, what should I do to get the most benefit from it?
For example, let the scale of the fight between the two sides escalate rapidly, and let the greenskins and Set's snake people go to war in an all-out manner?
But after thinking about it, Levi gave up this idea temporarily. Not to mention that it would be extremely difficult, if any link went wrong, the beast's blood would boil and they might gain huge benefits from it.
The most urgent task right now is to clear out the snake people's nest first and avenge Sally!
Of course, now we have to add the Qin people. Although their own combat effectiveness is terrible, the corpses controlled by them can still serve as temporary cannon fodder, and it doesn’t cost any money anyway.
Janet immediately communicated on her behalf.
The people of Qin were overjoyed and jumped up one after another, expressing their full support for this just war of revenge.
As a humanoid intelligent race, they will certainly not forget past hatreds. Previously, they were too weak to take revenge. But now, Levi and other foreign high elves are standing up for them. How can they be willing to fall behind?
So without doing anything, Levi directly raised his reputation to friendly in this small village called Qingxin Tan Colony.
At the same time, there were fifty or sixty Tan people, driving over a hundred corpses, and decided to fight alongside them to defeat the evil snake people together.
In fact, there were more Qin people who were willing to join the war, but Levi took into account that the strength of the Qin tribe was originally very weak. If a large number of troops were withdrawn at one time, and other foreign enemies invaded during his attack on the snake people's nest, resulting in the destruction of the entire Qin tribe, that would be his loss.
After all, according to what the Qin people said, this area is not peaceful.
Well, or in other words, not just here, in the entire Underdark, and even in the surface world, which places are truly safe?
