Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 81: Recovering Hader (1)
According to my idea, I tried to summon the Devouring Ghosts several times and built a fully enclosed "wind shield" defense belt, but failed in the end - because the space around me was limited, it was impossible to accommodate too many Devouring Ghosts. The cold wind blown by these ordinary-level Devouring Ghosts was not strong enough and had poor durability. Under the crazy attack of the pig-headed bee swarm, it was inevitable that some of them would slip through the net, break through the blockade of the "wind shield" and directly enter the protective circle to launch an attack. The pig-headed bees were small in size and agile in movement. I had no effective means to curb their fierce attack. I could only watch them quickly "fatten" the Devouring Ghosts. One after another, they lost their combat effectiveness, and my defense was completely disintegrated.
Although the experiment failed, it was only because the summoned phagocytic ghosts were not powerful enough. My idea was still feasible. The "wind shield" formed by the combined efforts of a group of phagocytic ghosts could effectively prevent the approach of the pig-headed bees. As long as the wind was strong enough, the pig-headed bees could be easily blown aside. Their delicate bodies were much more flexible, but they were not strong enough to go against the wind. At the same time, as long as the durability and stability of the "wind shield" could be guaranteed, it would be very likely to achieve the goal of "keeping the enemy out of the country" and resist the all-round and fierce impact of the pig-headed bees.
This requires some more powerful Devouring Ghosts, and the most ideal one is the Ghost King. If it were a month ago, I would be helpless. I only have Xiaobai, the Ghost King, and I can't figure out how to quickly subdue at least 20 or 30 Ghost Kings. But the situation is different now. The last time I explored the "Yinfeng Valley", I was lucky to find the residence of the Ghost Banshee. There are dozens of Ghost Kings under her command. As long as we can catch them all, all problems will be solved. Of course, in the territory of the "Yinfeng Valley", it is quite difficult to invade the Ghost Banshee's territory and defeat the opponent away from home. There is almost no chance of winning. Moreover, I don't want to fight too fiercely with the Ghost Banshee and hurt too many of her powerful subordinates, which means a great loss to me. Fortunately, Xiaobai, the Devouring Ghost King, is about to evolve. As long as it can successfully evolve to the level of Ghost Emperor, it is qualified to challenge the Ghost Banshee, who is a royal family, and define the battle as an internal struggle for power and reduce the scale of the conflict, perhaps my hope of success will be greater.
I could only reluctantly give up the plan to complete the "bee-collecting task" in the shortest time. No wonder it was stated in advance that the promotion of the second profession would be twice as difficult. It might be relatively easy in the early stage, but it would be difficult to be promoted to a higher level. It's just the promotion to the fifth level of the profession, but it's already so abnormal. Even if you can complete it in the end, you have to spend a lot of time. It's really tasteless and a pity to give it up. It's really annoying. No wonder those necromancers who choose magician as their second profession rarely advance to the fifth level of great magician. Their professional skills should be easier to practice than my "sneak attack". I think the promotion tasks are all the same trouble, which affects their development.
I returned to the "Dead Space" and devoted myself to conquering the Terror Knight and the Corpse Wizard, trying my best to develop and expand my own power, while waiting for Xiaobai's evolution. As long as he succeeds in usurping the throne and accepts the power of the Ghost Banshee, he will be able to complete the promotion task of the fifth-level thief profession. With the little improvement in basic mental power, the Terror Dragon Knight may not be able to do it, but it may be possible to conquer the Terror Bull Knight and have more capable subordinates.
After a few days, Xiaobai finally began to evolve, and my mental power became the best "tonic", being rapidly devoured to supply the needs of evolution. At this moment, it was naturally the turn of the "Touch of Death" to show its power to ensure the continuous supply of sufficient "energy". In the human world, I saw the powerful power of the "Holy Cross" of the highest honor, the "Poison|Dragon Spear" of Long Xing Tianxia, and the "Angel Robe" of Holy Heaven. Sometimes I really feel that the artifact "Touch of Death" in my hand is really too inconspicuous, and it seems to be a level lower in comparison. But I calm down and think about it carefully. In many cases, such as battles with more time, especially in the "Dead Spirit Space", defeating a group of strong men in the early stage and promoting the evolution of pets and subordinates, etc., "Touch of Death" has played a decisive role and is absolutely an indispensable right-hand man. It is fair to say that without it, I would never have achieved what I have today.
It was mid-October again, and Taotao and Guben returned to the "Hell Volcano" and entered the "Hell Magma Pool" to absorb energy. It was really inconvenient to think about it. It was impossible to soak more than ten days a month. If something happened, they would not be able to soak for a longer time. If they could control it freely and soak whenever they had time, it would be much more beneficial to Taotao's growth. Damn Hades, damn rule controller!
The remaining Daxiu can continue to apply for a qualification battle with the Hades Dragon King in the second half of the month. This time, the target is the eleventh-ranked Necromancer Hader. With Taotao and Guben's help, there should be no problem in winning. Now Daxiu is still mixed with Wuma, while cultivating class feelings, absorbing the soul energy of the killed Terror Knight to strengthen himself. After my continuous "brainwashing" education, I finally suppressed the extreme hostility of the two flying fire ghosts towards the "undead public enemy" Destruction Knight. Being able to act together is also a necessary lesson for the newly conquered subordinates. It is necessary to cultivate "comradeship" with Wuma to avoid any unpleasantness when they meet each other in the future. Those ordinary undead creatures with weak independent thinking ability are easy to deal with. They are relatively simple-minded. As the master, I can deal with them by assembling a large group and scolding them with shouts and bluffs. If there is time, I can single out individual stubborn elements for re-education. Otherwise, I will put them into a specially formed death squad and let them die in battle as soon as possible. The process of unifying their understanding is relatively easy. The most troublesome thing is these guys with high IQs who have names and surnames. I must appeal to their emotions and reason with them, and spend a lot of effort to do ideological work on them so that they can "coexist peacefully" with Wu Ma.
After more than a month of hard work, the top ten mercenary groups completed the mercenary group promotion tasks and became large mercenary groups. Longxing Tianxia was determined to compete with Supreme Honor, but it was still more than two hours behind in the promotion time. It failed to win the title of the first large mercenary group in Tianxia and was taken away by Honor. Honor lost to our Tongxin League in the "Tianxia Hero Conference" and failed to enter the finals. It was very angry and also swept the prestige of the Guangming professional players. It took advantage of the promotion to a large mercenary group and finally earned back a little face.
