Chapter 299 Zong Ze's Family, the Secret Room on the Mountain Side 【Subscription】
The final challenge part of the Crypt Challenge once again set off a heated discussion among the people.
In addition to the challenge itself, for most lords, it means the end of daily high-pressure life.
After reading the announcement, everyone knows that the final challenge will be a decisive feast based on the strongest in the region and supplemented by all-domain lords, and the choice of whether to participate in this decisive battle is still in the hands of the lords themselves.
Some lords who seek stability or lag in development may not support them at all, and spend the last few hours of the challenge in their territories with peace of mind, while some lords with more aggressive strategies and better development may choose Lead the team to support, grab the tail of the challenge, and get more points and extra boss rewards.
The final challenge is only a multiple-choice question for ordinary lords in the region, and a must-choice question for the strongest lords in the region.
There were a total of 4,367,698,529 people when they landed.
Every 10,000 people is an area. There are a total of 436,769 areas where lords come to the entire continent. In addition, there are 8,529 people left. I don’t know how the lord system handles it. Let’s count it as an area for the time being.
Let’s count it as 436,770 areas. According to the normal rhythm, the death rate of lords in each area should be similar. Of course, it is not ruled out that some areas have relatively few deaths, or some areas have relatively more deaths.
Even some areas suffered a force majeure disaster, and the entire area was wiped out. This kind of thing is not impossible.
The base is too large, and the entire continent has many adventures, which makes everything possible.
About these things, no lord can say for sure.
However, with so many regions, each region has a regional strongest, so the total number can reach more than 400,000.
These more than 400,000 regional strongest people are truly outstanding lords out of ten thousand.
Whether these lords have risen rapidly because of personal ability or because of outstanding luck, they have already stood at the top of the area, which is an indisputable fact.
So the essence of the final challenge now is to conduct another round of preliminary screening among the more than 400,000 lords out of ten thousand. The core of the activity is the training of the lords.
Among the Xeon lords in these regions, Zongze is naturally included.
Since Zong Ze came, his days have been very unrestrained.
Leaning on a thigh old brother, he is also a proper emperor of Europe.
From the first day of landing, luck is very good, and the development progress has always been maintained at an upper level.
Basically, he has never fallen off the chain, and it is not surprising that he can become the number one in his area.
Over the past few days, he has also accumulated more than 60,000 crypt points, and he is basically able to hold the first position in the region.
You must know that except for a few areas with monster-level lords, the points obtained by the strongest in most areas are between 20,000 and 60,000. Among the lords in this range, Zongze's level has actually been stand at the top of the area.
A lord with more than 60,000 points can always be called a monster-level lord.
Not to mention Zong Shen, the pervert, who has accumulated a huge amount of more than 165,000 points, which is eight times that of the second place in his own area!
However, at this time, Zong Ze naturally did not know that his brother had obtained so many points, but he firmly believed that among the strongest in the region, there was definitely his brother Zong Shen.
There is no doubt about this. Even with his brother's level, he can't win the first place in the region, so Zong Ze can't imagine who can win the first place.
After learning the news of the strongest challenge, the first thing Zong Ze did was to rush back to the territory immediately. Like Zong Shen, he was busy hunting crypt monsters before noon.
In order to seize the bonus tail of the Crypt Challenge and earn the last wave of points, the two brothers' behavior style can be described as half a catty to eight taels, and their strategies and ideas are similar.
Zongze's territory is on the mountain, an open area on the mountainside. It is not as scalable as Zongshen on the plain, but it is much less difficult to defend. There are only two roads up the mountain. One side of the territory is a cliff, and the other side is a canyon cliff. , After the end of the novice period and the adjustment of the rules of the official period, the long-suppressed weather in the Rhodok Kingdom became violent, and it rained suddenly, causing flash floods in the mountains.
The torrents at that time washed down from the heights of the mountains all the way, and then ran out of the canyon behind Zongze's territory. At that time, Zongze picked up a lot of materials washed down by the torrents, and even rescued a few people from the torrents. Orc girl.
This terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Except for flying monsters and monsters like abyss worms that can burrow into the ground for a long time, other ground-moving monsters can only climb mountains honestly.
However, although the open area on the mountainside is not too small, its development prospects cannot be compared with the plain terrain of Zongshen.
The land around Zongshen is very flat. Even if he builds a giant city directly in the future, there will be no shackles and bottlenecks. On the other hand, Zongze will not be able to do it here. After entering the expansion period of the territory, he must find a way to open the mountain or directly lead the generals. It was built into the kind of mountain fortress-type city.
Zongze returned to the territory from the mountain road with the hunting team. His right palm was wrapped in bandages, and he seemed to be injured. As soon as he returned to the territory, he began to prepare.
Now the mountain roads in both directions of his territory are surrounded by city walls and barricades, and he has a total of 47 warriors and 15 farmers under his command.
Most of these warriors are second- and third-order orc warriors and troll warriors. All of them are tall, with rough faces and strong bodies. The most obvious difference between these orcs and trolls and humans is that in skin color and face, orcs have light green. Skin, ape-like features, and two prominent canine teeth on the lower jaw pressing against the upper lip.
The trolls have light blue skin and are more than two meters tall. Their limbs are not as strong as orcs, but they are also much stronger than ordinary human warriors. Their main attack method is to throw spears. The power is very amazing. Long-range units, of course, can also carry spears for melee combat when necessary.
In addition to the largest number of orc warriors and troll warriors, there are several orc shamans and some third-order Rhodok skilled crossbowmen.
These shamans master shamanic sorcery, and their ranks are equivalent to the third-order mages among humans. They can summon viper guards, ghost wolves, and powerful soul chain skills.
Even one of Zongze's orc shamans mastered a fourth-order witchcraft skill called Earthquake, which can cause the earth to continuously shake, cause damage to the enemies within the range, and slow down the ground units within the range. The effect will cause additional damage to buildings within range.
This skill is somewhat biased towards earth magic, but its essence belongs to a kind of earth magic.
Witchcraft and magic are two systems, both have similarities, but also have some differences.
The power of shamans comes from natural media. In addition to spiritual power, they also need some media such as worms, bone powder, special mineral powder, venom, etc., these media are often easier in nature. get something.
According to different types, it is divided into earth magic, ocean magic, sky magic, natural magic, life magic, soul magic, and many other categories.
The power used by the mage is more dependent on his own pure spiritual power, mobilizing the elements, arranging them in combination, and exerting a lot of magic.
This is the difference between the two, and in actual combat, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The characteristic arms in Zongze's area are the warriors of the orc and troll types, and their status is similar to the wolf cavalry in the area where Zong Shen is located.
It can be said that more than 80% of the soldiers under Zong Ze's command are big-footed men, but the remaining less than 20% are all essences, such as the charming water-type mage girls, and those orc girls.
Rabbit Niang prefers to assist the first-class, mastering some simple natural magic, and the strength is equivalent to the second-rank apprentice Mage in human beings, and Hu Erniang has certain trap-making talents and stealth talents, roughly equivalent to second-rank assassins.
The fighting power of these beast maidens is not strong, but they are very pleasing to look at. They have stunner faces and bodies, plush animal ears and big tails. The combination of the two styles is enough to drive all male creatures crazy.
Zongze usually keeps them in the territory and is responsible for assisting the territory's logistical heroes and handling logistical affairs.
There is only one hero in his territory. When Zongze went to the nearby Meisang Village to purchase supplies two days ago, he met a begging little refugee in the village. He was only 14 years old, but he was a heroic talent. With the green elite talent, Zong Ze picked it up with a few pieces of beef jerky.
After Zongze's persuasion and education, he took an oath of allegiance and became a small logistics officer in the territory, specializing in handling some logistical chores for Zongze.
Two days ago, after Zong Shen gave him 10,000 Continental General Dinars, the first thing Zong Ze did was to buy 20 or 30 cows and 20 or 30 goats, and fenced off a simple of mountain pastures, and also purchased some basic living materials.
Now his territory is rich in materials. Although he is not as rich as Zong Shen, he is also a big dog among the lords.
His territorial defense is mainly composed of orc armored arrow towers, which are the characteristic arrow tower blueprints in this area. In addition, there are some defense towers that are exchanged for points. The ones he exchanged are basically second- and third-order arrow towers.
The blueprint exchange of the second-order defense tower only needs 750 points, the third-order needs 1650 points, and when it reaches the fourth-order, it becomes 3500 points. Although the fourth-order attributes are more powerful, and it is basically in one step, you don’t have to worry about it in the later stage. It will be outdated, but the exchange price is there.
Therefore, Zong Ze took the next step and exchanged all the second- and third-order arrow towers. The defense capability of the entire territory is not bad. There are four first-order armored arrow towers, four second-order moon blade towers, and four second-order towers. The Thunder Tower and two third-order Holy Light Towers.
This exchange configuration is basically equivalent to a weakened version of Zong Shen's configuration.
As the saying goes, the big guy has the way of the big guy, and the younger brother also has the gameplay of the younger brother.
The paths of the two brothers are actually the same, that is, the grades are slightly different.
As soon as Zongze returned to the territory, he began to adjust the position of the defense towers, strengthening defenses in several important areas in the territory, and adding multiple defense barriers.
After asking the farmers to put up defense facilities, he himself took out a dagger and came to the cliff on the side of the territory.
He has dug a tunnel here. Originally, Zongze’s purpose was to expand the space and collect stones by the way. As a result, with the deepening of the excavation a few days ago, after more than ten meters of excavation, the farmer dug a side of the magic stone. constituted wall.
After digging through this wall, they entered a strange mountainside secret room.
This secret room is full of doubts. The front, back, left, right, bottom, and six sides are all made of high-grade magic stone, almost seamless. If Zong Ze hadn’t dug in by mistake, this secret room would have been made of magic stone. 's box.
There are no traces of passages and entrances and exits, as if it was conceived inside the mountainside.
There are also colorful murals on the walls of the magic stone. I don't know how many years this secret room has existed. The colors of those murals are still bright, and the patterns depicted on them are also very abstract. Some of these spheres are connected, some are independent, and some are connected by some gray channels in the middle.
Every time Zong Ze came here and looked at the surrounding murals, there was a virtual sense of spatial disorder.
In the central area of this secret room, there is a magic-patterned stone platform with a fist-sized gray sphere suspended on it.
However, outside the stone platform, there is a layer of milky white mask.
At this time, this layer of light mask is on and off, sometimes clear, sometimes blurred, as if it will shatter at any time.
Zong Ze walked to the stone platform, raised his bandaged right hand, placed it on the mask, and undid the bandage with his left hand, revealing a wound that had just scabbed in his palm.
He looked at the wound, grabbed the dagger in his left hand and swiped lightly along the wound again.
【-35】
A wound appeared, he cut open the scab, and bright red blood suddenly overflowed.
Drops fell on the mask, and as soon as the mask came into contact with the blood, it instantly absorbed it, and at the same time, the mask became dim.
After a dozen or so drops of blood, the mask no longer absorbed blood, and the last drop of blood slipped off the mask.
"Ah... I'm full again today."
"It's been several days, and I don't know when this mask will be broken."
Zong Ze shook his head, withdrew his right hand, and wrapped the upper spoken language with a bandage.
Some disappointment, he said to himself, obviously this is not the first time he has done this.
