Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 250 Great Leiyin Temple
Fortunately, this vampire fang duke is only a little older, and his innate talent is average, not reaching the higher level of the ninth upper level. Otherwise, with its fully mature state, even with Taotao's tenth-level intermediate "Dragon Power" suppressing it, Shaman, who is only at the eighth upper level and far from fully mature, would not be able to deal with it. At least it would take more than twice the effort, and the process would be much more dangerous. But in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he did not dare to let other undead subordinates come out to test the true strength of the vampire fang duke in advance, fearing that it would choose to migrate to avoid disaster if it was frightened, and it would be easy to get out of the surveillance, which would add more trouble. So Shaman had to take the risk to fight. Fortunately, he had some luck and encountered a low-level, intermediate-level ninth-level vampire Duke with lower mental resistance. With the help of Taotao, Leted Ivoire and Saipan who launched the "Dragon Power" to help secretly, Shaman successfully killed the opponent without any danger. The five-day "Death Control" borrowing right promised to Yeyou was worth it and he did not suffer any loss.
The dead vampire fang duke still turned into a ball of thick blood. As Shaman stood still with his mind focused and raised his hands, the qi sensed and quickly surged over and enveloped its body. The blood contained the original energy of the vampire fang duke. As long as Shaman absorbed it completely, he could transform his physique and evolve into a higher form of vampire fang duke. During this period, he could not be disturbed too much by the outside world, otherwise it would directly affect the effect of absorption and transformation, weaken the ability that could be achieved after the promotion, and even lead to the failure of the promotion. Therefore, all three hundred black bone dragons were mobilized, led by the black dragon king Saipan, and arranged to guard nearby. With such a powerful lineup on the native continent, no blind undead or undead wizard should dare to come and cause trouble.
The vampire fangs' promotion challenge does not allow me, their master, to help. During the successful promotion and transformation of their physique, they do not need to absorb my spiritual power to assist them. They can continue to search for level 10 undead in the Lost Continent. Taotao and Letediwa returned to the "Hell Volcano" after the challenge, and took the time to soak, absorbing and transforming the magma energy as much as possible to enhance their strength. In order to challenge other Hell Dragons of the same level, occupy the "magma cave" with more energy, speed up their growth, and expand their influence in the "Hell Volcano", especially in the Hell Dragon clan, as soon as possible, to increase their capital to fight Hades.
Last time, it took three days for Shaman to evolve from an earl to a marquis. This time, it took five days to successfully evolve from a marquis to a vampire fanged duke. After receiving the news that the evolution was completed, I rushed over as soon as possible to praise and comfort Shaman. This is also a way to increase the compatibility between me and pets, and it has a certain effect on pets and undead subordinates with higher IQs. What I am most concerned about is naturally the ability that Shaman will have after he is promoted to a duke. Although with Shaman's innate qualifications, if nothing unexpected happens, he should become a high-level vampire fanged duke of the ninth level, but seeing is believing. Before confirmation, it is inevitable that I feel a little uneasy. Don't underestimate the gap between the first level. It has a great impact on Shaman's future. It is related to the time and success rate of challenging the vampire fang prince, as well as the strength that can be improved after successfully evolving into the vampire fang prince. Fortunately, Shaman did not disappoint me. His rank after promotion was the ninth upper level. He is a high-level vampire fang duke with pure bloodline and good qualifications. He has great development potential. If he is trained well, it should not take too long for him to grow up quickly and obtain the qualifications to challenge the higher form of vampire fang prince.
The Vampire Fang Duke can still only transform into two forms: bat and human. It seems that only when it evolves to the Vampire Fang Prince can it have the quadruple transformation effect. In the bat form, it still does not have much attack power. It still has the three most basic abilities of "blood sucking", "blood mist" and "blood evil", and the "blood shadow clone", a unique ability of Shaman, has also been preserved, which is suitable for traveling, dodging and assisting in combat. The human form is the main combat form of the vampire Fang, and its ability has increased a lot and has been further strengthened. "Evil Gaze" can be cast on three targets at a time, lasting for five minutes. For opponents with a level higher than it by two levels, it can reduce 10-20% of the damage suffered by itself, and increase 10-20% of the additional damage to the target. The gathering time of "Blood Claw Breaking the Air" has been further shortened to about 45 seconds, with a range of up to 100 meters, a faster firing rate, and stronger attack power. "Phantom Fan Form" is also sent and received by the heart, without any restrictions on the casting time, and can continue to play a role as long as there is enough mental support. The main close-range attack skill has been upgraded from "Heart-Destroying Grab" to an enhanced version of "Left and Right Heart-Destroying Grab". Both claws can be used, either at the same time or front and back. You can focus on attacking one target or attack two enemies separately at the same time. It has stronger attack capabilities, making it more difficult for opponents to guard against.
Continue to arrange for Shaman to return to the "Blood Pool" to soak. The reason why it was able to evolve into a vampire fang duke in a short period of time is that in addition to its own excellent qualifications and being a vampire fang earl at birth, the sufficient blood supply in the "Blood Pool" is absolutely indispensable. The original system setting for the promotion of vampire fangs was extremely strict, and we undead wizards were not allowed to participate in the battle. Under normal circumstances, it can be said that it is difficult to win the promotion challenge in such a short time. If I hadn't used the "Dragon Power" assist method, coupled with the catalytic effect of the "Blood Pool" on Shaman's growth, it would be impossible to help Shaman achieve such results today. Other undead wizards also had to come to me, seeking the qualification for their subdued vampires to enter the "blood pool" under my control to soak and accelerate their growth. Unfortunately, they refused to trade with equipment or the relevant information I needed. As the player's strength increased, the value of low-level vampires would become lower and lower. I dared not to manipulate them blindly. I had to agree to collect a certain amount of gold coins as a trading condition according to the level and soaking time of each vampire, and set a specific soaking area for each vampire to ensure equal treatment and fair treatment. They can all get sufficient blood supply. For this reason, the blood lich Temur was quite dissatisfied. He believed that taking in so many vampires to soak in the holy land of the blood witch clan was an act that seriously damaged the interests of the blood witch clan. He protested to me, but I forcibly rejected it. He also mobilized the bone dragon army to show off its force in the "blood pool" territory, and suppressed all the opposition from the blood witch clan with power. Temur was wise and did not dare to say more. If it weren't for the fact that these undead royals who were given special equipment by the system could not be forcibly subdued directly, my "blood change" had already increased to the point where it could increase the basic mental power by 15%. I didn't want to weaken my own strength, and it also involved Qiu Shui Changtian, Qing Wu Fei Yang and the other four undead wizards who bought "blood change". At that time, there would be a lot of wrangling. It's too troublesome. I really want to support another big blood wizard to replace the increasingly powerful Temur, who often chirps to me and is not very docile. Fortunately, Temur is also quite aware of the current situation. He has never dared to disobey my orders and has not made any extraordinary moves. In addition, the bat demon Dika is secretly supporting him behind the scenes. He has to look at the face of the Buddha even if he doesn't look at the monk. Fortunately, there are too many interests involved, and I don't want to cause chaos and give other undead wizards an opportunity to take advantage of it. Maintaining stability and maintaining the status quo is what I need.
The Tongxin League is also working hard to recruit and organize a team of 1,000 people to participate in the auction task. The growing influence, coupled with appropriate interests, has attracted some expert players or "lone rangers" from other small and medium-sized mercenary groups to join. Among them is the leader of a small mercenary group of 100 people with a level 10 upper-level holy magic pet, two other top players with level 10 magic pets, and more than a dozen expert players who have been promoted to the ninth-level profession. The list of the 1,000-man team has been preliminarily determined, and the overall strength has been further enhanced. At the same time, some necessary props and items have been purchased and prepared, which will also be of great help in the battle. These need to be sorted out in a detailed form and reported to the auction house truthfully, so that the system can more accurately determine the comprehensive strength of each team participating in the auction and decide who will win the task. Xue Wuxia really spent a lot of money this time. He was determined to get a magic weapon and was unwilling to lose the qualification to directly confront Hua Mantian.
During this period, the auction tasks of various professions launched by the system were announced to the world through Tianmei. According to the major categories of professions, the four major professions of Warrior (including Berserker), Swordsman (including Angry Swordsman), Shooter (including Magic Shooter), and Thief (including Assassin) have three tasks with the highest difficulty and the opportunity to obtain the main artifact reward, and three tasks for ordinary artifacts. In addition, the six major magician professions, four types of light and dark professions, and Knight professions have two tasks with the highest difficulty and the opportunity to obtain the main artifact reward, and two tasks for ordinary artifacts. The other tasks for obtaining holy artifact rewards are the same for all professions, and there are different numbers according to the difficulty level. Those lowest-level tasks that only require 30 to 50 people to participate can be launched without restrictions until there are no players bidding, ensuring that every player has a task to participate in and complete. Of course, setting so many tasks is just to give the opportunity to obtain the corresponding rewards, not necessarily to get them in the end. The completion of the tasks is also divided into different standards and has strict time limits. In order to obtain the highest level of rewards, you must complete them in the shortest possible time as required. It seems that there are so many tasks that may get artifact rewards, but in fact, not every team that bids for the corresponding task can get artifact rewards. A slight lack of strength or lack of tacit cooperation will affect the completion of the task, and you may only get one high-level holy artifact. After all, even if "Tianxia" has entered its late stage, as the basic abilities of players are finalized, the number of artifacts will increase, and the official is unlikely to do a "wholesale" and let too many artifacts appear at once, so as not to give people a sense of flooding. The setting of this "auction" alone divides the players from the inside. With their own selfish intentions, it is difficult to achieve a strong alliance between top masters, and to organize an absolutely powerful team to complete a certain task. There is not much confidence that you will be able to obtain artifact rewards.
In contrast, teams with strong strength will have a wider range of choices and are eligible to compete for more difficult tasks, but the higher the goal is, the greater the risk. According to the published rules, the bidding tasks are from difficult to easy, and the tasks of the same difficulty are auctioned at one time. Each team has only one chance and can only bid for one task. There are many competitors. Once they fail in the auction, they have to lay off some members and bid for tasks of a lower difficulty level. Not only is it more troublesome, but the benefits that can be obtained are relatively small, and the cost paid in the early stage is probably more of a loss. The highest difficulty task of the thunder magician profession that Xue Wuxia is preparing to bid is "Da Leiyin Temple", and another task of the same level is "Tianlei Pool". Both are similar to the "Underground Maze" of the Undead Wizard profession. They are places to complete specific professional tasks. Although the basic difficulty of the tasks is the same, Tianlei Pool was opened earlier in the Eastern Continent. Even if it has not been able to go too deep before, there are many related tasks with lower difficulty, and more have been completed. The general environment is more familiar to players. The Great Leiyin Temple is located in the Central Continent, on the Leiyin Mountain. It was opened late, and there are not many professional missions involving it, so players know relatively little about it. After all, the final reward depends on the completion of the mission. In comparison, the chance of successfully completing the mission in the "Heavenly Thunder Pool" and obtaining the highest level of the main artifact reward seems to be greater. I don't know the plans and goals of other teams, but there are only two missions and no more choices. In the end, I decided to bet on the "Great Leiyin Temple", hoping to avoid too fierce competition as much as possible.
On December 20th, the fourth anniversary celebration of Tianxia kicked off, and the first round of "mission auctions" was held. The auctions for the most difficult tasks of each profession began in the "Exchanges" in the four most prosperous main cities in the east, west, south, and north. A total of 15 categories and 34 professional tasks that can obtain the highest rewards of the main artifact were evenly distributed in the four cities. The Western Continent is naturally in the Holy City where the Temple of Light is located. The nine tasks of the four major professions of the priest of light, the knight of light, the swordsman (including the angry swordsman) and the fire magician will be auctioned. The Southern Continent is the nine tasks of the four major professions of the warrior (including the berserker), the wind magician, the earth magician, and the ice magician. The Northern Continent is the eight tasks of the three major professions of the archer (including the magic archer), the thief (including the assassin), and the water magician. The city where the auction was held in the Eastern Continent was Beijing, which was controlled by the resistance alliance. It adopted a flexible business management policy and had an increasingly powerful strength as a support. Except for the hostile Church of Light, all neutral forces had to give it some face. It has gradually developed into the most prosperous of the twelve cities in the entire Eastern Continent. It naturally obtained the qualification to hold this auction. The auction was for eight tasks in four categories: necromancer, magic knight, knight and lightning magician. It happened that the two major professions of necromancer and lightning magician were arranged in an exchange for auction, which could better confuse the competitors' sight and make it impossible for them to guess the specific auction target of our Tongxin Alliance, making it more convenient for us to act.
The auction was very intense. It directly determined the chance of getting the main artifact reward. All players who thought they had the strength to fight were unwilling to give up easily. No matter what their purpose was, whether they were fully prepared to go all out or just trying their luck, they formed a team of 1,000 people to participate in the auction. There were dozens or even hundreds of teams competing for each mission. At least those who came out to participate in the auction were all top masters with a certain reputation. It was hard to tell the overall strength of their team. They could only wait for the system to evaluate the team of 1,000 people with the strongest overall strength based on the list of members that had already been reported and finalized by each team to decide who would get the mission. The scene was really hot. However, in the end, it still depended on strength. Most teams were destined to be just a useless show and play supporting roles. Only two or three teams would really have the last laugh.
The two tasks of the Undead Wizard profession were auctioned by Qiu Shui Chang Tian and Ye You. Tian Xing joined the Desert Eagle team to help him complete the tasks of the Magic Knight profession, and Qing Wu Fei Yang went to help Romantic Sakura complete the tasks of the Knight profession. In addition to my withdrawal, the remaining Undead Wizards, with the two of them being the most influential, invested a lot of money to recruit people. The Dark Council coordinated in advance and chose to bid for different tasks respectively. There was no killing each other, so this result was normal. There was no surprise in the two tasks of the Magic Knight profession, which fell into the hands of Long Xing Tian Xia and Desert Eagle respectively. Long Teng sacrificed the interests of Bai Yun Jian and Ba Jiu Gao Ge, and Jiao Yang sacrificed Tian Xing, who also needed a magic weapon to stabilize his position. The Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Resistance Alliance were still secretly engaged in fierce competition, and no one was willing to be overwhelmed by the opponent. This mission is another silent contest. The reputation gained by the Desert Eagle from obtaining the artifact "Ghost Horn" last time was barely offset by Long Teng's promotion to a super mercenary group of 30,000 people. The two are evenly matched. Once one of them possesses another artifact, the original fragile balance will be broken and the upper hand will be gained.
The competition for the two tasks of the thunder magician profession was also fierce. There were quite a few teams participating in the auction. According to Wuxia, all the teams that came forward were relatively powerful thunder magicians. However, the Tongxin League, which was a frequent visitor to the "Top Ten Mercenary Groups in the World", and I, who might have lost my reputation as the "World's No. 1 Master", and Afeng, who had the title of "World's No. 1 Knight", were all able to obtain additional judging points. We finally defeated all the powerful enemies and successfully won the bid for the "Great Leiyin Temple" task.
