Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 234: Guarding against the Devil
Although he had evil intentions and was unwilling to let Kekexili, an alien volcanic spirit, successfully evolve into a top-level flame demon, Hades, as the actual controller of the "Hell Volcano", could only secretly obstruct it and dared not act openly. After his intention was shattered, he had to come forward to congratulate and welcome Kekexili's entry into the ruling class. Like Khufu, Kekexili was given a "magma cave|mouth" in the deep space of the " Hell Magma Pool" for its use. It has the same rights as other lower-level hell dragons and alien volcanic spirits of level 10, but because the "soul contract" is more effective than the kingship, it is not directly under Hades' jurisdiction and obeys my orders first. Most obligations do not need to be undertaken, unless it is to compete for the "rock prize cave|mouth" with higher energy and challenge other level 10 strongmen. Under normal circumstances, as long as it does not take the initiative to cause trouble, Hades basically can't do anything to it.
The successful evolution of Kekexili, in addition to the good foundation laid before and other reasons of its own, the "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" given to it also played a great catalytic role, which is definitely a key factor. Especially during the period when Hades plotted against it, which triggered the violent activities of the "Hell Volcano", seriously interfering with Kekexili's absorption of my spiritual power, if it had not stimulated the last bit of energy stored in the body of the "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" to neutralize the violent impact of the external magma energy, I am afraid it might not be able to hold on until the moment I reached the top of the mountain. After all, the basic quality of the Kekexili clan is not outstanding, and it is not as good as the flying fire ghost clan of the ancient book and the special races such as Qitlei and Xilando that are stained with the soul energy of the Hell Dragon. Without the catalytic effect of the "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal", even with my help, it would take at least a year and a half, and it would be impossible to achieve a breakthrough so quickly. According to the information provided by Let'd'Ivoire, the "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" has little effect on their lower level 10 volcanic undead. It is only suitable for use as a "fast charger" to extend combat effectiveness, which makes me underestimate its role. Now it seems that its effectiveness is far beyond the "Millennium Fire Lotus". It can play a great role for the eighth and ninth level volcanic undead who evolve to the ultimate form or the tenth level strong. Thinking that I still have a "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" in my hand, I really want to give it to Guben or Qitlei immediately, and add another tenth level undead subordinate who has been promoted to the ruling class of "Hell Volcano", just to compete with the increasingly powerful opponents. My ultimate goal is to subdue those tenth level upper level Hell Dragons and even get involved in Hades's kingship. In the process, the help of "Millennium Fire Lotus" and "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" is also very needed. It cannot be easily consumed, so as not to suffer losses in the future. I can only suppress this idea as much as possible. The development of the "Hell Volcano" must be gradual and have a long-term plan. We cannot be too hasty for quick success, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat the Hell Dragon Clan and Hades, and we will not reach the end.
Finally, I survived the hard half-month long evolution in Kekexili. It was very hard for me. I rested for three days before I recovered and regained most of my energy. I was able to continue to devote myself to the game. Think about it, is it easy for me? Behind the superficial scenery is hard work, not many of them are just too lucky to get something for nothing. Just the "Hell Volcano" alone made me suffer so much. Almost every evolution of the volcano's undead subordinates made me lose a few pounds of meat. Alas, people who are willing to spend money come to play games, and people like me who want to make money from it are more like being played by the game. In this world, people who have no foundation want to start from scratch. If they don't encounter good opportunities and can't bear the hardships, it is basically impossible to succeed.
During this period, other players in Tianxia have also been promoted to the ninth-level profession. The number is not large, and they are all the best in their respective professions. Most players are still struggling in the eighth-level profession. However, the alchemists in the life profession have not yet successfully developed a method to create a "ninth-level enhanced pet scroll", and are still unable to subdue a tenth-level magic pet. Top masters are certainly unwilling to subdue a ninth-level pet, and they are still using seventh-level magic beasts, which cannot fully exert their strength. Therefore, for the time being, they have no intention of provoking a big incident. They are mainly practicing skills, gathering high-level equipment, or helping their companions to earn qualifications, waiting for the moment when they can subdue a tenth-level magic pet, especially a high-level tenth-level pet, to widen the gap in strength with other players.
During this period, four more artifact holders were added, bringing the total number of artifacts in "Tianxia" to 24. Unfortunately, no one in the resistance alliance became a lucky person. Three of them were neutral professional players, holding the artifact "Shadowless Sword" of the swordsman profession, the artifact "Dragon Killing Arrow" of the archer profession, and the artifact "Fire Dragon Scepter" of the fire magician profession. It is said that two artifacts were obtained before I successfully promoted to the ninth level profession. I waited until the probability of the holy beast dropping artifacts was further reduced before auctioning them. Taking advantage of this good opportunity, I earned at least 15% more profit. Those treasure hunting teams worked hard for several months. As long as they were lucky enough to drop an artifact, they would definitely make a lot of money. No wonder there have always been expert players flocking to it and becoming full-time "treasure hunters". There is also an artifact of the deadly enemy light profession, called "Holy Light Mirror", which fell into the hands of a silver-robed bishop named | Alice, a female player who also participated in the light and dark ultimate preview of the "Tianxia Hero Conference" and is quite powerful.
Afeng has also been promoted to the ninth level of the Paladin profession, and is trying his best to help Xue Wuxia increase her qualifications so that she can be promoted to the Lightning Holy Mage as soon as possible. The two of them are now almost glued together every day, inseparable, and I don't know how many people envy them. Unfortunately, I chose the Undead Wizard profession, and most of the time I have to stay in the gloomy and lonely "Dead Space" to seek development. There are not many beautiful girls, and there are even fewer who can be attractive. Moreover, I am a "only seedling" with super strength. The limitations of my profession make it impossible for me to develop with other Undead Wizards. That would hardly help me much and would inevitably affect the enhancement of my strength. Even if I have a little lust, I have a good relationship with Qingwu Feiyang and Xiaoyue. In order to make money, I can't spare too much time to pick up girls, and lack opportunities for further development. I could only helplessly continue to be a loner, making up excuses like “Poor people can’t have good girlfriends. When I make enough money in the future, I’ll have more opportunities” to comfort myself and numb my restless heart.
The new house that Afeng and I spent millions to buy has already been renovated, but Afeng is not in a hurry to move in. He still lives in the rented house with me, and has not planned how to decorate it, what kind of household items to buy, how to arrange it, and when to officially move in. If he had not made a solemn promise in front of me that he would definitely settle down here, I really doubt whether he has other plans, such as going to live with Xue Wuxia and live together. When I pressed him, he pretended to be profound and said something like it was not that he didn't want to live here, but that the time had not come yet, and asked me to wait patiently for a while, maybe I could move in soon. There seemed to be something else in his words, but I couldn't figure out his real intention. I didn't want to leave him alone to move into the new house, so I had to let him go. It's a pity that I finally have my own house in Shenzhen, realizing the first dream I had when I first stepped into this city, but I can't live in it. I can't take a few photos of the new house and send them back to my parents in my hometown to make them feel more at ease. It really makes me depressed. I don't know what the mysterious Afeng is up to. He was in a hurry to drag me to buy a new house, but why is he so controlled and not in a hurry to move in?
Maybe the problem lies with Xue Wuxia. The relationship between the two of them is really a bit weird. They were supposed to be strangers end, I don't know what consensus the two reached. First, they secretly looked for opportunities to be together, and then they openly went out together and officially clarified their relationship. The relationship between them must not be that simple, and it may even be... I have some doubts, but they are just guesses. Without more evidence, Afeng is very tight-lipped. No matter how I ask him in a roundabout way, he refused to reveal the details and key issues. He just said that the time is not right, and he will confess to me when the time comes. I am helpless for a while. But seeing the changes in Afeng now, the shadow that had lingered in his heart for a long time in the past should have completely disappeared. He is no longer in pain, and his face is filled with a bright smile from the heart every day. He has become more cheerful. I am also really happy for him. A friend's happiness is my happiness. Of course, if he is willing to give up using love affairs between men and women to stimulate me from time to time, I think I will be happier.
After three days of rest, April 15th soon arrived, and another "Hell Dragon Challenge" began. According to the plan, the Fire Skull General Gonzalez had submitted the challenge application to Hades as scheduled. With the help of the "Sacrifice" and "Primary Puppetry" magics I cast, it successfully survived the six-hour attack of the tenth-level lower-level Hell Dragon and obtained the qualification to soak in the central area of the "Hell Magma Pool". Thanks to the restriction that the challenged undead cannot be killed, the Hell Dragon dared not use too strong attacks against opponents one level lower, and was somewhat hesitant, limiting their performance, so that the weaker guys such as Hades and Gonzalez had the hope of winning the "Hell Dragon Challenge". Even when Khufu defeated Let'diva, Let'diva did not use all his strength in the early and middle stages, allowing Khufu to get a lot of opportunities. Only when he was severely injured and his life was threatened did he violate Hades's ban and take heavy measures. Otherwise, he might not have been able to defeat and subdue it so smoothly. As long as I can support these promising volcanic alien undeads under my command, let them grow and evolve into level 10 undeads, and train those who have no promotion quota to the upper level of level 10, and then conquer the Hell Dragon Clan, it will not be in vain that I have been busy for so long in the "Hell Volcano" and have paid so much. It is enough to ensure that I can overwhelm other undead wizards and have the strongest strength. Even if an undead wizard obtains the "key" required to conquer the second forbidden area "Abyss" like "Touch of Death", it will be difficult for him to catch up with me because of his late , and it is possible to completely subdue the Abyss Dragon King Robinho and the Abyss Dragon Clan who are slightly stronger.
Like Ebola, Wu Ma was arranged to graze in the Lost Continent. I no longer provided food for it. It had to kill prey and devour soul energy on its own. It had the ability to "escape from the earth". Even if it encountered a powerful enemy or a siege by multiple undead, it could still escape safely. At least it could escape to the sphere of influence under my control and get the protection of the Black Bone Dragon "Border Guards". Generally, it should not be in too much danger. In order to become a real strong man and successfully evolve into the strongest ultimate knight of destruction, in addition to excellent qualifications and sufficient energy supply, later training and exercise are also very important. According to the relevant experience from Ebola, it is necessary to adopt such a "wild grazing" method. Only through continuous real life-and-death battles can their strength be quickly enhanced - "Jia Hua" cannot withstand too fierce wind and rain. When Wu Ma gradually adapts to this lifestyle and accumulates more combat experience, I will dispatch it to dangerous areas far away from the sphere of influence to accept more cruel tests.
My focus in the Lost Continent is to search for the scattered and hidden level 10 undead. The current main target is the Undead Ghost Phoenix, not only because Wuji can sense the place with rich Yin Qi suitable for the Undead Ghost Phoenix to live, and finally there is a specific exploration target, but also to provide for the needs of Yibo La and Wu Ma. Yibo La already has the ability to "resurrect after a catastrophe", but can only be resurrected once, and needs to continue to kill Undead Ghost Phoenix to reserve "undead ability". I have also decided to let Wu Ma have the ability to "resurrect after a catastrophe", and he also needs to kill several Undead Ghost Phoenixes to meet the requirements. These two Destruction Knights are my key training targets, and their development must not be delayed because they cannot obtain "undead ability" on time. In the future, except for the Undead Ghost Phoenix of level 10, which is not easy to sacrifice, the Undead Ghost Phoenix of level 9 and above will probably be given to them to devour.
I was busy searching around the Lost Continent. With my personal supervision, Wuji's work efficiency has improved a lot. He has found an undead ghost phoenix and defeated it successfully. Unfortunately, it is still only the upper level of level nine, and it is of little use. Suddenly, I received a report from my subordinates who stayed in the holy land "Karamayi" area, and found a new group of giant magicians, who should be going to worship. With the increase of my power in the Lost Continent and my understanding of the living habits of the tenth-level undead, the higher basic mental power after the promotion has further strengthened the power of the "Soul Contract" and strengthened the control of the undead under my command. In particular, a strict reconnaissance network has been established around the holy land "Karamayi" with a clear target, so that the giant magician group will not be able to reach "Karamayi" before it can be discovered. While other undead wizards have not yet discovered and touched this Feng Shui treasure land, no one is competing, and all the benefits belong to me, I will strive to conquer more giant magicians.
After receiving the information, I rushed over quickly. The result really surprised me. After waiting for more than a year and encountering more than ten giant magicians, I finally encountered the top existence rumored to be a level 10 eight-arm giant magician. The new giant magician is a level 9 middle-level four-armed giant magician, and the mature one is a level 9 upper-level six-armed giant magician. The higher level 10 eight-armed giant magician is a special individual with excellent qualifications. After participating in the adult worship of "Karamayi", he jumped to a more powerful level 10 lower-level eight-armed giant magician. At the same time, he also has the rare "evolvable" attribute. Through long-term absorption and accumulation of Yin Qi, he can continue to evolve to a higher level by worshipping "Karamayi" after meeting certain conditions. However, due to the calm personality of the Giant Mages, who like to roam the continent and do not like to compete and harm other undead, the growth process is extremely long, far less than that of the Destruction Knights or the Volcano Undead. This is their instinct. Even if they are subdued by the Undead Wizards, unless they can be stared at from time to time to force them to absorb and transform energy, otherwise, if they are left alone, there will not be much change. It is estimated that in the limited game time, it is difficult to let these level 10 eight-armed giant mages with "evolvable" attributes grow and evolve as quickly as the Volcano Undead and the Destruction Knights and upgrade to a higher level.
There are more than 40 giant mages in this group, which is rare. It can be said that this is the largest group of giant mages I have found so far. Among them, more than 30 are level 9 upper-level six-arm giant mages, and there are three eight-arm giant mages at once. There should be at least level 10 lower-level. Finally, I have waited for the top-level individuals. It is worth my long-term investment in heavy troops, waiting for them in the area around the holy land "Karamayi", and paying close attention to them. Because I found them early, I rode Taotao all the way. When I arrived, the giant mages were still on the way to "Karamayi", walking slowly in the thick fog, and their speed was really slow. It's just that there are too many of them, and there are three level 10 strong men whose specific ranks are unknown, which far exceeds my expectations. It is not easy to deal with them with the troops gathered at the moment. To be on the safe side, I did not order my men to launch an attack immediately. Instead, I deployed troops and set up ambush with heavy forces, striving to use my absolute superior strength to quickly destroy the resistance of the troll magician population, reduce losses, and end the battle as soon as possible.
