  Chapter 768 757. Life magic pattern \'soldier ants\'

  Suldak asked Iser: "Then how did you get rid of it?"

  Iser said very helplessly: "I haven't been able to get rid of it, so I brought it here."

After speaking, it raised its head, and saw that there was a piece of colored feathers pressed under the huge dragon head. The ends of these colored feathers were as red as flames, the middle was orange, and the roots were light yellow. Each colored feather was almost two feet long. , there is a strong magical atmosphere flowing on it, and the colorful feathers are very messy.

  Dragon Eagle's head was a little shriveled, and the body seemed to have been torn apart by the red dragon Iser, leaving only some colorful feathers with skins that were pressed under the red dragon.

  Iser's eyes fell on those colorful feathers, and he said to Suldak: "This is the dragon eagle..."

  Suldak leaned over to take a look, and felt the violent magic fluctuations on Iroha, those magic breaths were constantly evaporating, and he could still feel the chilling coercion.

   "Did you eat it?" Surdak asked:

The red dragon Iser said very proudly: "Yes, I was absolutely unable to defeat it before, so I never dared to, because I have seen the same kind, and now I have learned the dragon language, and the situation in Istandur is still okay. better."

   After finishing speaking, the red dragon Iser said with some embarrassment: "Oh, yes...these are for you."

Suldak took out a magic sealing box, and put those feathers containing powerful magic power into the box from the ground. The dragon eagle's head is not too big, even counting the beak, it is only bigger than the head of an adult one-horned bison. Little by little, Suldak dug out a magic core the size of a coconut from the back of the skull, and it had quite a lot of feathers.

   "Feathers, magic cores, heads, these things are really good." Suldak said with satisfaction.

   "Sorry, I left a piece of meat for you, but I was a little hungry just now, so I ate the last piece of meat." Finally, the red dragon Iser said a little embarrassed.

Of course Suldak wouldn't mind. Although he didn't know what level of monster the dragon eagle was, but only with the magic power contained in these feathers and the scars on the red dragon Iser, Suldak guessed that it was at least five years old. Level Warcraft.

  I hope Lance can know the specific value of these magic materials...

  …

  Luke brought back a large amount of supplies from High Lansa City. These materials were all military supplies that Karl bought from the High Lansa City Military Supply and Logistics Department through his relationship.

These include 100,000 fine steel arrows, 1,000 giant crossbow arrows, 200 tower shields, 300 copper helmets with visors, and 500 pairs of acid-resistant leather boots. Both kerosene and fire scale bombs belong to war Controlled supplies, Karl couldn't buy fire scale bombs and kerosene from the Military Supplies and Logistics Department of Hailansa City.

  In addition, this time Luke also brought back ten sets of ice horn rhinoceros leather armor and fifty crusader knives with sharp magic.

Suldak threw ten hard carapaces of ghost pattern soldiers to Luke, and asked him to bring these hard carapaces to Hailansa City, to the master leatherworker in the city, and asked him to tell the horse according to the size of Gubo. , to make several sets of horse armor similar to horse armor.

  He even brought a bottle of foul-smelling sour liquid to the master leatherworker so that he could study the characteristics of this hard carapace.

   At the same time, he also brought a dragon eagle feather and a letter to Lance, hoping that he could identify the true value of this monster feather.

  Afterwards, Aphrodite also wanted Suldak to learn how to summon the magic circle as soon as possible, but unfortunately time did not allow, so Suldak could only be sent back to Dodan Town through the Void Gate.

  …

At night, five large ghost-striped soldier ants rushed up the city wall one after another, but because the city guards on duty at night on the city wall were prepared, the guards who manipulated the bed crossbow did not know that the most vulnerable part of these large ghost-striped soldier ants was the outriggers. and jaw joints, so Adams and the ogre Gullitum successfully killed five giant ghost-striped red ants.

  Now five giant ghost pattern soldier ants are placed outside the work shed. This kind of giant soldier ants with a body length of nearly four meters is the most powerful monster in this beast tide.

  However, their attack methods are still very single. Apart from relying on the giant pincers on their heads, they can only spit out highly corrosive acid.

  Suldak returned to the small building of the barracks, and before he even had time to sleep for a while, he was called out by the soldiers on duty at night.

  Of course, this is what Suldak specially ordered.

  Once you find a giant ghost pattern soldier ant, be sure to wake him up.

There was an unpleasant sour smell in front of the small building. When Suldak opened the door, he saw four torches illuminating the open space in front of the small building. The fatal wound on several ghost-pattern soldier ants was a spear piercing into the skull from the lower jaw.

  Suldak circled around the ghost pattern soldier ants, then returned to the small building to set up a sacrificial altar, offering a sacrifice of the head of a fire wolf, and obtained the blessing of God from the Eye of Reality.

  After walking out of the small building, I looked at the corpses of these giant ghost-striped soldier ants, and found that there was a faint magical breath flowing from these giant ghost-striped soldier ants.

  The magic patterns are all concentrated on the legs of the giant ghost-striped soldier ants, every giant ghost-striped soldier ant has it on its legs, and there is a breath of life magic flowing on each leg.

Suldak hurriedly strode over. He found that the life-magic patterns were completely covered on the six legs, but some life-magic patterns were complete and some were incomplete. After careful inspection, he finally figured out Among the thirty outriggers of the five ghost-pattern soldier ants, there are actually eleven outriggers with complete life magic patterns, or exactly the same magic patterns...

  Worried about the loss of the magic breath above, Suldak peeled off all these complete life magic patterns from the ghost-pattern soldier ants.

This work is very difficult. The ghost pattern soldier ants are covered with hard carapace, and the skinning knife can't cut it at all. The whole outrigger can only be removed with a single-edged axe. As for how to remove these The magic pattern of life was peeled off from the outrigger, and he hadn't thought about it yet.

  The magical aura revealed by this kind of magic pattern is strength and tenacity, so the slender legs can support a body weighing more than a thousand pounds, and the strength magic pattern is naturally indispensable...

  Suldak just removed these eleven outriggers, and it was dawn.

  Feeling dizzy and groggy, and his mental strength was almost exhausted, Suldak put these outriggers into the magic sealing box before returning to the small building and threw himself on the wooden bed to sleep soundly...

  …

In the past few days, there have been high-intensity battles on the city wall, and the use of fresh meat from monsters for half a month. While some veterans in the cavalry battalion have improved their physical fitness, some people have successfully advanced to the next level. twenty.

  This situation is very rare in other barracks.

   Adams, who had been guarding the city wall all night, saw two more cavalry in the battle, and the phantom of a big sword suddenly appeared behind him, so he knew that two more cavalry had made a breakthrough.

  The confidant next to him murmured softly: "What the hell! Why is the breakthrough now, it seems to have become so casual..."

  Adams looked at the confidant, and ordered: "Okay, go and count the specific number of guards in the city, and prepare to change defenses. Let me know that everyone will not be on duty tonight. Gather tomorrow morning, and we will start guarding during the day..."

  …

  Gulitham stood at the top of the city with a bit of regret.

  After the morning fog cleared, the ghost ant queen in the canyon was still surrounded by a group of personal guards, moving slowly among the ants.

  All ghost pattern worker ants approached in an orderly manner, as if worshiping their own king.

"The newborn ant queen is quite cautious. She has never stepped half a step into the range of the bed crossbow." With a hood on her head, Samira jumped from a bed crossbow console to the city wall, standing on the ogre's side. The side looks extraordinarily petite.

   "Would you like to go, I'm going to have a look at those big ghost-striped soldier ants, maybe the meat is more delicious." Gulitum carried the bone-crushing stick on his shoulder.

  This night, I don’t know how many ghost pattern soldier ants’ heads were knocked off. Although this is something that Suldak expressly forbids, it is indeed very comfortable to do so.

  Samira took the lead, her voice was hoarse:

   "Let's go, I also want to sleep for a while. Gullitum, tell me...how can I become stronger?"

  Gulitham followed Samira, walking up the steps step by step.

  If he hadn’t taken care of Samira, he would have chosen to jump directly onto the slow-walking platform, so that he would be able to stand firmly under the city wall after turning back four times.

  Now he can only follow behind the half-elf archer, step by step.

   The ogre thought for a while, and then said: "If you are also an ogre, it's very simple! Just keep eating."

  He shrugged his shoulders, and touched the cracks in the city wall with his thick fingers. The wall was built very firmly.

He went on to say: "The words of the elves are simpler, they live longer, they just hide in the tree of life and enjoy themselves all day long, they have seen everything after living a long time, they have superb combat skills, drink some life tree sap every day , it’s hard not to advance.”

   Then the ogre sighed again: "But you are a half-elf! You may need to explore the specific path to take."

Samira stopped in front of the slow steps of the steps of the city wall. She lowered her head and stared at her slender and round calves wearing salamander leather boots. A small figure suddenly appeared around the boots with pale yellow patterns. In the wind circle, she asked Gullitum: "Like this?"

   The ogre looked at Samira in surprise, and said with an unbelievable expression: "So you already feel angry! I heard that this is half a foot into the world of the second-rank powerhouse!"

  Samira shook her head and said in a low voice: "It feels a little bit worse, I don't know what is missing..."

   The ogre chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter, maybe killing a few more ghost-patterned soldier ants will give us some inspiration."

  …

   This is the fourth day since the ghost-striped red ants gathered under the northern city wall, and Andrew feels that today has passed extremely long.

The ant colony below the city stopped attacking for the first time. There was a faint black flame on the mountain walls on both sides. At the foot of the mountain, there was a pile of worker ant corpses nearly two stories high. The fire below was not too big. All the worker ant corpses Under the smoke and fire, it became a new fuel.

  The fire wall on the front of the north city wall had been extinguished in the morning.

  There is no kerosene to support the combustion, and there are no ghost pattern worker ant corpses, so the fire wall cannot continue to burn.

  The ghost pattern worker ants outside the city were once again densely pressing towards the city wall.

The ten catapults on the inner side of the city wall continued to throw flints into the canyon, but for hundreds of thousands of ghost pattern worker ants, the lethality of the small catapults was really limited, and the gaps created by the rolling stones would be destroyed by other ants in an instant. Filled with ghost pattern worker ants.

  Suldak was not in a hurry to continue pouring kerosene into the oil tank. The kerosene in the warehouse could be used to ignite two fires at most. Before the next batch of kerosene arrived in Dodan Town, the corpse kerosene needed to be used sparingly.

This time the ant colony has a king, and is able to form a simple queue. Eleven giant ghost-striped soldier ants stand at the front of the ant colony, followed by countless ghost-striped worker ants and ghost-striped soldier ants. Approaching under the city wall.

  The ordinary arrows on the top of the city have no effect on the giant ghost pattern soldier ants.

   Two hundred archers and two hundred city guards stood guard on the top of the city, holding longbows and crossbows, but they did not shoot arrows.

  A row of rolling stones at the head of the city has already been prepared, just waiting for the ants to rush up the wall, they will be pushed down by the guards.

   This time the ant colony did not rush up blindly, they let the giant ghost pattern soldier ant stand in the front, and began to approach the wall of fire.

  The ghost-striped worker ants beside them began to try to spit acid into the embers. Although the distance they spit acid was not too far, they were still able to spit to the edge of the embers.

   Puffs of unpleasant white smoke rose from the embers, and the embers began to extinguish rapidly.

The ant colony under the city began to move rapidly. Worker ants kept rushing to the front, spraying out all the acid in their stomachs, and then quickly retreated. The waves lapped on the embers.

The ash field less than five meters wide was covered with ashes half a meter deep, and eleven deep trenches were plowed out by eleven giant ghost-patterned soldier ants. They climbed up the hot city wall awkwardly, howling in pain, But he refused to take a step back.

  The new ant queen behind the ant colony was just outside the range of the bed crossbow, staring at this side with icy eyes.

Andrew at the top of the city looked at Suldak aside. Thirty-five bed crossbows had already started to adjust their shooting angles. Besides ordinary crossbows, there were five different ones placed on top of each giant crossbow shelf. The crossbow arrow, the blade of this crossbow arrow is printed with dense magic runes, and a small gemstone base is installed on the crossbow arrow, on which this thin piece of magic spar is inlaid.

   It is said that the price of such a magical giant crossbow in the market is almost equal to ten ordinary giant crossbows, and its power is also quite amazing.

   After all, it has a magical effect!

   Seeing that the giant ghost pattern soldier ants had begun to climb the city wall, Andrew glanced at Suldak again.

   "Wait a minute, are the grapples ready?" Suldak asked the squadron leader of the city defense army.

   "Commander, everything is ready!" The city defense squadron leader replied immediately.

   "Send the order, eleven bed crossbows equipped with magic giant crossbow bolts aimed at giant soldier ants." Suldak ordered, "Recover these magic giant crossbow bolts as much as possible."

   "Yes, Commander." The captain of the city defense squadron said, and then ran quickly on the city wall, ordering those bed crossbows who were facing each other to modify them into magic giant crossbow bolts one by one.

  Eleven giant ghost-patterned soldier ants were at the forefront of the ant colony, and had already climbed to the middle of the city wall.

  The group of ghost-patterned soldier ants beside them couldn't help but want to kill. They wanted to overtake the slow-moving giant ghost-patterned soldier ants, but they didn't dare.

  A wave of arrows rained down from the top of the city, and almost half of the arrows were blocked by the giant ghost-striped soldier ants in front. Even so, there were still many ghost-striped worker ants falling down the city wall.

  The ghost pattern worker ants behind quickly filled the gap, until someone shouted from the top of the wall: "The bed crossbow is ready..."

  Thirty-five bed crossbows were pushed out at the same time.

  Giant crossbow arrows protruded from the wall, the sharp tip of the arrow reflected cold light in the sun, aiming at the ant colony on the city wall...
