Chapter 30 The Second Avatar
Don’t talk about the swamp center, such as inconvenient transportation, harsh environments and difficult development. With minerals, all problems will no longer become problems. Not to mention anything else, this victory directly solved the human resources problem - these Huaiyi prisoners are obviously the best miners.
Zhang Chuanglai received great attention from Doctor Kunwu. After pacifying Huaiyi this time, Doctor Kunwu will definitely be more obsessed. Now with this mine as a backing, it means that he has the capital to establish a good relationship with everyone - no matter what era, generous people always easily win everyone's favor and support. In this way, Qian felt more clearly that his position was shaky.
But why is this happening?
The surprise attack on Huaiyi, who was not prepared, resulted in a win easily. This kind of thing seemed reasonable. Some soldiers might think that everything was too smooth and a little unreal. But others would only think that this was because Zhang Cheng did a good job in the early reconnaissance work or was lucky, but Qian was very clear that this was not that simple.
Because there are Huaiyi in the swamp, but it is not just Huaiyi.
If there were only Huaiyi here, it would not be Zhang Cheng's turn to attack. In fact, before, Qian had tried to organize his troops to solve this small hidden danger (it was indeed considered a small hidden danger at that time). So he knew exactly what would happen in this place.
Although Qian was driving a chariot as his deputy, in fact, he had already been ready to escape. He fled with the army, left the army to escape by driving the chariot, and left the chariot to escape alone. He arranged several solutions for all three plans.
When a normal spell caster goes to the battlefield, most of the power must be kept for attack, defense or assistance. One preparation for escape is reasonable. There are two types of people who can be classified by the boss in the range of "cowardly formation", "unfaithfulness" or "stupidity" and three types. Fortunately, this battle is one-sided, so even if Qian paddled throughout the entire battle, it can be understood as a cautious attitude of retaining strength in case of intent. Otherwise, it would have been exposed long ago. Anyone who sued Doctor Kunwu, he would definitely not be able to take it.
However, Qian himself knew very well that this was necessary. Because it was impossible to fight against that kind of existence, and there was no possibility of winning at all. Not to mention Zhang Cheng or Qian, it was hard to say that Doctor Kunwu led the entire army to come. If you want to win, it is estimated that the emperor personally led the Sixth Division to come.
But now, the situation is completely different. There is only Huaiyi left here. At this moment, there is no reason why the existence has not discovered the raid of humans.
"Report to the two Simas," a soldier hurriedly ran over, "I found the remnant enemy!"
After leaving a few soldiers to guard the prisoners, the remaining troops quickly arrived at the final scene.
Whether it was the others or Zhang Cheng, they actually expected that defeating Huaiyi would not be the end of the battle. Because at this moment, anyone has confirmed that these Huaiyi are not the kind of wandering tribes.
In fact, if they were wandering tribes, they would not be able to settle in the swamp. After all, the swamp has a harsh living environment, and there are not many worse animals. They can neither cultivate nor hunt, let alone grazing. Even if lizards are more adapted to humid and watery environments than humans, there is no reason to stay in such a ghost place.
Since it is not a wandering tribe, it obviously has another reason.
Now, in front of the human soldiers, there is an illusory door shining with light. In other words, this is a door frame made of bluestone, but the unknown energy in the middle forms a vortex.
"Is the portal..." Zhang Cheng stood on the chariot, looking at this thing. There is no such thing on the earth, but related fantasies and assumptions have existed since ancient times.
"Portway? This is the technique of movement." The bear corrected it in his mind. "But by saying that, I prefer the word Portal, which is indeed more vivid... This is a rare spell, not how difficult it is, but that it consumes too much power. Either you are the one who has too much power to use, or you are a fool, otherwise no one will use it... It's indeed it!"
There was a hint of gritting hatred in the bear's voice.
The portal is shrouded in powerful power. Even ordinary people can feel the fluctuations of energy coming towards them.
There was nothing on the portal just now, but after humans approached, a figure appeared on the portal, which was an illusory snake.
Although the soldiers in Kunwu City are all well-trained elite soldiers, no one dares to act rashly at this moment. More people are focusing on Zhang Cheng.
If Zhang Cheng ordered a retreat at this time, everyone would be happy to obey. Or, letting them stop here instead of turning around immediately is entirely because of the constraints of military discipline and confidence in the commander. In this era of distinct classes, although many ambitious people would despise the aristocratic class and think about joining and even replacing it, more people were afraid and worshipped.
This snake is not an ordinary python, but a terrifying giant snake whose diameter can exceed your height. This body shape, let alone eating people, is just a little troublesome to eat elephants. Even if it is an ordinary beast, it is not something that only a hundred people can deal with. Not to mention that anyone can see that this thing is definitely not an ordinary beast, but a terrifying existence with high intelligence and supernatural power.
This kind of existence is called the Great Spirit, the subsidiary of the gods, and the immortal body in this world.
It's Bashe.
The Ba Snake entrenched on the portal and used its huge body to form a circle to wrap the portal. Although its body is illusory, it is still powerful. The momentum it emits, or this energy fluctuation, is enough to shock people and make people feel timid.
When we first met Bashe, even Zhang Cheng, as a dead soldier, was still quite affected. Fortunately, Zhang Cheng had dealt with Bashe once, so he was mentally prepared. This time it was much better. The shock and fear of the Da Ling had almost no effect on him.
"So I hate animal spirits, they are all total idiots," said the bear. "This guy is bluffing again."
"Is this considered scolding myself?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help asking.
"Don't compare me with that kind of fool. I am a natural spirit. I chose this form instead of being born like this." The little bear disagreed. "Zhang Cheng, we can kill it."
It was easy to say. Zhang Cheng remembered clearly that the last time he killed Bashe was entirely because he received a lot of blessing from the Yellow Bear body. But this time he had no state in his body. Except for the arcane vision he added to himself.
"But..." Zhang Cheng thought. This was obviously also a clone of Bashe. From the illusory and unreal appearance, it can be seen that the power of this clone should be inferior to the last time. However, no matter how inferior it is, it should not be something like Zhang Cheng who is a mere 7th warrior and 7th mage who can deal with it.
Just look at the state of the army in Kunwu City, you can understand that Zhang Cheng's current level is the appearance of an ordinary small leader in the army. If the army assigned official positions according to its strength, he would definitely not be worthy of the official positions of the two Simas. Not to mention others, Xin, who taught Zhang Cheng's profession of the Dead Soldier and the inheritance of the four major professions of the Warrior Ranger Swordsman, was converted into a warrior level, and he was also a high-level warrior above level 10. His position seems to be only the leader of the soldiers, only one level higher than the two Simas.
"Don't worry, this clone is a bluff." The bear said in his mind. Of course, he gritted his teeth for Bashe, his mortal enemy. He would never let him go if he could find an opportunity to stab him. "It's different from the previous one! This clone is very fragile..."
"Human!" A voice that does not originate from sound waves but from some kind of mental power suddenly appeared in everyone's mind. This voice is barbaric and cruel, not human or any similar intelligent race. "Get out of here! Don't try to anger me!"
The hovering Phantom of Ba Snake twisted his body, and the surging energy fluctuations were so painful that it made people clearly feel that this was not an empty threat.
If you change to the game, you will probably see a line of prompts to make a mental saving throw. If the saving throw fails, you will immediately fall into a state of fear.
"Don't worry, Zhang Cheng." The little bear obviously did not care about revenge. "Don't forget your Qinglu! Kill it, otherwise if it escapes, its subject will know who attacked the lizardman, and will guess who might have obtained Qinglu. Otherwise, if you kill it, no one will know this secret!"
"The clone is not in contact with the subject?" Zhang Cheng was puzzled.
"This is the case with this clone that controls the portal, and it cannot be connected with the subject at all times." Xiaoxiong said. "So you see, the clone of Bashe doesn't know you. Because it was created very early, its purpose is to control the portal. The combat power of this clone is not worth mentioning."
Indeed, Zhang Cheng clearly felt that although he was standing in the front row, Bashe's attention was not particularly focused on him. He remembered that the Bashe clone had vowed to avenge him before it was destroyed. This meant that the snake did not know him.
"In addition, Zhang Cheng, remember your plundering power. If you kill him with Qinglu, you will get a lot of its power!"
The Ba Snake continues to expose its momentum. The effect of doing this is very obvious. Even if a soldier with strict training and rich combat experience does not have the magic effect of being immune to fear at this time, he will basically be in a state of weakening his feet. Not to mention fighting, only a small opportunity is needed at this time, and everyone may collapse immediately and escape uncontrollably.
Not only people, but also horses. In the battle just now, there was no loss in either chariot or war horses. But now, several horses are on the verge of being uncontrolled.
"Ha!" Zhang Cheng shouted loudly and suddenly rushed towards Bashe.
The distance between the two sides is actually not far. After all, the giant snake's body is too big, so it is easy to get close. Ba snake focuses more on releasing the fluctuations of the spiritual energy that causes fear. Zhang Cheng rushed to Ba snake almost unexpectedly and swung his sword to slash at the giant snake's illusory body.
With the size of the long sword and the snake body, this sword is no different from a toothpick to stab an elephant.
Zhang Cheng remembered it very clearly that last time, with the help of Huang Xiong, he drew a huge wound on Ba Snake with one sword. That level of wound is meaningless to Ba Snake, and it is a small injury that can be recovered in a moment. Only attacking the core point of the energy gathering is effective. Moreover, even so, Zhang Cheng felt that what is really effective is the power of Huang Xiong, not the long sword in his hand.
Without the support of the yellow bear, even if the snake lies flat and reveals a fatal core point for him to cut, his attack will not take effect.
This time he had nothing. The little bear had the intelligence and memory of the yellow bear, but he had no power. So at this moment, he could not correctly judge where the fatal point was on the Bashe, nor did he have strong external support. He just slashed a sword with only 9 of his own strength.
The consequences of this sword are simply indescribable, because when his long sword touched the illusory snake body, the snake body actually collapsed.
Yes, it was not broken, it was not cut off, but it disintegrated. The basic substance that made up the illusory body of the Ba Snake, the tiny particles emitting light (that can only be described), began to dissipate. From the body he cut, the entire body of the Ba Snake quickly collapsed at an indescribable speed, and it had not even noticed it.
It was not until this collapse extended to the neck of the snake that it noticed what was going on. But it was too late, and the only thing it could do was to show a shocked look before it completely disappeared.
The Ba Snake, who was entrenched above the portal, disappeared. No one had time to do anything, and the door frame made of bluestone suddenly made a broken and crisp sound. Then, under the eyes of everyone, cracks on the bluestone were thronged and could not be maintained, and eventually collapsed to the ground.
However, Zhang Cheng had already left one step ahead, and the collapsed portal did not have any impact on him.
"Haha, this idiot has damaged two clones in a row. This time it must be severely damaged." The bear commented maliciously. "I really hope to see the scene where its master is sure that it is useless and throw it into the battlefield as cannon fodder."
Zhang Cheng looked at his panel. Although he felt that this did not kill the Bashe clone, in fact his experience value had increased significantly.
He stared blankly at the collapsed portal in front of him. In the Quanrong game, he did not see the portal intact, but he had seen the portal after it turned into ruins.
In the game, all the lizard men in Chefei came back to the camp to report the task to the commander. The commander would arrogantly say, "The enemy is already scared, our army takes advantage of the situation to attack." The entire mission will be over and the map will be refreshed. If the player has the leisure and elegant feeling, he will return to the swamp afterwards, and you will see that both the lizard men and the NPC have disappeared, but another small map is opened. After entering, you can see the ruins of the portal.
Chapter completed!
