Chapter 987 War Totem Pole
However, one of their biggest characteristics is that the magic runes on the backs of shield demons of the same group will resonate, superimposing the power of the defensive force field to create a more powerful defensive force field. Legend has it that with hundreds of level 15 shield demons, after the defensive force field is superimposed, attacks below the holy realm level will not be affected. If the number reaches a thousand, even the strong men of the holy realm will be unable to deal with them. No one knows the origin of this magic rune, not even the inscription master has copied it. Perhaps it can only be called a natural miracle.
It is precisely because of this magical rune that traces of the Abyss Shield Demon can be found in every corner of the Endless Abyss. It is said that the largest group of Abyss Shield Demons lives in the deepest part of the Endless Abyss. Even the gods cannot Where you dare to set foot.
The two major families of the Mithril Alliance summoned more than 80 abyss shield demons in total. Unfortunately, these more than 80 abyss shield demons were not from the same ethnic group, but from three ethnic groups. After all, the spell to summon demons was no longer the same. Even though it is powerful, it is impossible for people to choose the demon to be summoned so accurately.
However, there are more than a thousand shield demon groups in the entire Endless Abyss. It is great luck for the two major families to be able to concentrate these eighty abyss shield demons in three groups.
In this way, more than forty claw demons, more than forty blood flame winged snakes, and more than eighty abyss shield demons formed the demon army of the Mithril Alliance. With the power of this demon army, the overall strength of the Mithril Alliance has also been greatly improved, and it barely has the capital to fight the skeleton dragon.
Of course, even if this is the case, it does not mean that the Mithril Alliance can truly compete with the skeleton dragons. It can only be said that it can barely support itself under the crazy attacks of the skeleton dragons. After all, the skeletal dragons they faced were all powerful at the legendary level and above, but the summoned abyss demons were only seventeen or eighteen levels at most. If there was no such thing as the magic network magic array, their strength would be very low. The gap is indeed difficult to make up with quantity.
The only thing is, compared with human warriors, these abyss demons are worthy of surviving in such a harsh environment of the endless abyss. Even when facing the powerful skeleton dragon, they do not have a trace of fear, but are aroused with ferocity. , all of them behaved extremely fiercely.
Although those claw demons are taller than ordinary humans, they still seem a bit small compared to the huge body of the skeleton dragon. However, they didn't care at all. They waved their sickle-shaped claws and surrounded the giant skeleton dragon very bravely. Some even hugged the giant skeleton dragon's leg bones directly, as if they were grinding them down from the top. Some bone chips come.
And those blood-flame winged snakes turned into streaks of blood-colored lightning, using their bodies as whips to whip at the bones of the giant skeletal dragon, making a continuous "bah-bah" sound, each time from the giant skeletal dragon. The dragon's body can even take away a piece of bone fragments from the bones of the skeletal dragon.
However, another weapon of the Blood Flame Winged Snake is that it spits out blood flames, which has no effect on the skeleton dragon. If you want to make the bones of the Skeleton Dragon rot, I'm afraid even the Snake King among the Blood Flame Winged Snakes can't do it, let alone these little long insects that are only fifteen or sixteen levels.
As for the more than 80 abyss shield demons, if they are from the same ethnic group, maybe the people of the Mithril Alliance will not be in any danger as long as they hide in the defensive force field and let the skeletal dragon bombard them outside. It's a pity that they are three different groups. Although the defensive force fields of twenty or thirty abyss shield demons are superimposed, they have quite amazing defensive power, but they can only support a few attacks from the skeleton dragon. The interval between defensive force field recovery has become the most difficult period for the Mithril Alliance. During this period, casualties are simply inevitable, either from Mithril Alliance warriors or summoned abyss demons. Compared with the Skeleton Dragon, , they are still too fragile after all.
Not far away from the Mithril Alliance is the team of the Chuanpei family. The Caesar family should be considered weak among the four teams at first, but they were able to stand alone from the Mithril Alliance and developed to have teams on par with them. Status, no ability, but you can't do this.
When the Mithril Alliance summoned the Abyss Demon Legion, the people of the Caesar family were not idle. After Klaus left with the family elders, several senior members of the Caesar family who stayed behind immediately began preparations to face the giant skeleton dragon. When they entered the mausoleum, they each carried a thick and long animal skin bag behind them. They never opened it even when they faced the Whispering God. No one except them knew what was inside.
At this time, the animal skin bag was finally opened, revealing what was inside, which turned out to be wooden sticks of uniform length and thickness and bright colors. Each wooden stick is almost one meter long and as thick as a person's wrist. It is carved with fine and complex patterns, and they are all painted colorfully.
The Caesar family took out a total of twenty such wooden sticks, and then began to insert them into the ground one by one according to a strange pattern in the team. Then, the magicians of the Caesar family chanted a strange spell in unison, which was more like a prayer than a spell.
As the magicians chanted, beams of light suddenly shot down from the sky above the Caesar family team, and landed accurately on the wooden sticks stuck on the ground. And those wooden sticks grew rapidly, thickening and lengthening like trees that were stimulated to life. Soon they turned from sticks as thick as a wrist into pillars nearly ten meters high.
At this time, the patterns carved on the pillars became clearer, and knowledgeable people recognized them at a glance. These pillars turned out to be war totem poles used by the orc shamans.
There are no magicians in the orc clan, but the orc shaman possesses magical power that is not inferior to that of the demons. They believe in the beast god, and by worshiping the beast god, they pray to the beast god to grant them magical powers, and making war totem poles is the most important ability they have acquired. Every shaman must start making his own war totem pole from the moment he receives the power bestowed by the beast god, and it often takes ten years to complete a war totem pole.
Of course, the power of the war totem pole is definitely worth the shaman's expenditure of so much energy. Each war totem pole embodies the shaman's understanding of the power given by the beast god, and contains very powerful and wonderful power. From the understanding of magicians, it is equivalent to solidifying a powerful demon on the totem pole. Of course, in reality it must be more complicated than this explanation.
Every time an orc shaman makes a war totem pole, his own strength will also make a huge leap. Therefore, the number of totem poles is also closely related to the strength of the orc shaman. A shaman with ten war totem poles is already as powerful as a legendary strongman, and after summoning ten totem poles, his power will be greatly improved.
It is said that in the current orc country, Ukanes, the sanctuary-level shaman who once led the orc clan to resist the rule of the high elves, owns hundreds of war totem poles. During the war at the end of the Dark Ages, he even relied on the power gained from summoning all the war totem poles to severely damage a city in the sky that was said to never fall.
In the history of the Anriel continent, the war totem pole that left a deep impression on people was the several large-scale wars between the orcs and the human kingdom after the end of the Dark Ages. Under the influence of the war totem pole, the strength of orc warriors can increase by five to ten times even in a short period of time. Whenever the shadow of the war totem pole appears on the battlefield, it means that regardless of the outcome of this confrontation, the human army will pay an extremely painful price.
However, orc shamans often have a status no less than that of tribal chiefs in their own tribes. Unless it is a war involving mobilization of the entire tribe, they generally will not leave their tribe easily. There is no orc shaman in the Caesar family, and the appearance of these war totem poles is also a bit old. They must have been obtained from the collection of high elf relics. It is precisely because of this that they keep the war totem poles in their animal skin pockets. If there is a real orc shaman, they can keep these in their own special space.
As the war totem poles lit up one by one, several halos superimposed on each other appeared under the feet of everyone in the Caesar family team, whether they were warriors or magicians, which looked extremely dazzling. Courage, excitement, physical strength, great strength, blood, self-healing, etc. Each halo has a different effect. When superimposed together, the strength of the Caesar family members directly increases several times.
And this, in fact, has not even exerted half of the power of the war totem pole. If it were in the hands of a real orc shaman, if these twenty war totem poles were erected, I am afraid that as long as the frost dragon Syndra does not come down, there will be Complete assurance to ensure the safety of the Caesar family team.
But even with half the power of the war totem pole, the Caesar family team can now compete with the skeleton dragon to a certain extent. Moreover, compared with the Mithril Alliance that summoned the Abyss Demon Legion, the Caesar family is in a better situation.
The formation of the Mithril Alliance has become a bit chaotic due to the addition of the demon writing group. This is one of the reasons why they continue to suffer casualties. The power of the war totem pole only greatly improved the strength of everyone in the Caesar family, which allowed them to continue to use their familiar battle formations. In comparison, the casualties here were much smaller.
However, whether it is the Twilight Tower and the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce that are coping well, or the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family that are struggling to support themselves, everyone knows that the current stalemate is actually very detrimental to the exploration team. The teams of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family are constantly suffering casualties. Don’t think that this has nothing to do with the Tower of Twilight and the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce. If those two teams are wiped out by the Skeleton Dragon, they will face greater pressure. Can the team of the Tower and the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce still be safe?
In fact, there is no need to wait for things to develop to that point, maybe the situation has deteriorated to the point of being beyond control. The senior leaders of the four teams have vaguely felt that although the Skeleton Dragon's offensive is very fierce, it is because they are very strong. In fact, this level of offensive is probably just a test for them.
For these skeletal dragons who only have fighting instincts, this may be a bit unimaginable, but don't forget that there is a powerful sanctuary-level frost dragon in the sky. No matter what the origin of that frost dragon is, since he can become the leader of the skeleton dragon army, the remaining instincts must be tactical instinct.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously just wishful thinking for the teams of the four major forces to grind away these hundreds of skeletal dragons step by step. For the current plan, they can only hope that the legendary strong men in the sky who are fighting fiercely with the frost dragon can win before the exploration team's defense collapses.
But……
In the sky, many legendary powerhouses knew clearly that it was impossible to expect the teams below to eliminate the skeleton dragon army in advance. The key to overcoming the current crisis is to find a way to defeat this frost dragon, otherwise the team will be wiped out. However, thinking about the key to the crisis does not mean that you have the ability to solve it, because the gap in strength is really too big.
Yes, the gap is too big, even though the exploration team has nearly twenty legendary powerhouses, and all of them are level 22 or above, and there are even top level 24 powerhouses such as Lin Li. However, facts have proven that such power is still not enough to fight against the frost dragon Syndra.
In fact, from the time everyone flew into the sky to fight against the frost dragon Syndra, the actual attacks launched by everyone now are pitifully few, and they are almost completely suppressed by Syndra's power. It is not so much a fight, but a welcome. Come up and get beaten. What they can do is to constantly defend and evade. If they are not careful, they may be in danger of falling.
From the beginning of the battle to now, it felt like a century had passed, but in fact it had not even been ten minutes. It's just because every second they persist is extremely difficult, every second they struggle with all their strength between life and death, and no one knows whether they will still be alive in the next second.
The legendary powerhouses who originally planned to besiege the frost dragon were no longer scattered in various directions as they were originally. Instead, they gathered together, hoping that with the combined strength, they could defeat the frost dragon's offensive. survive. But everyone knows in their hearts that this is just a matter of prolonging their life. Even if the defense does not collapse under the attack of the frost dragon, then when the hundreds of skeleton dragons below come back, they will still be destined to die.
Only Conneris, who has a perfect body, and Lin Li, who holds the star fragments and holy light, these two legendary peak powerhouses, can occasionally make some counterattacks against the frost dragon Syndra.
However, their counterattacks have very little effect. They only make everyone deeply disappointed. If they are disappointed, it will turn into despair.
However, no matter whether others were disappointed or despairing, Lin Li never gave up looking for opportunities. So what if the opponent is an existence similar to Flame Dragon Lothar? I'm not dead yet. As long as I'm not dead, I can't give up easily.
Although he had only been in the Anriel world for a few years, Lin Li had encountered many narrow escapes, even more than those old men who had lived for hundreds of years. Why Lin Li is able to reach this point, strength is certainly one aspect, but the belief of never giving up no matter what the circumstances has to be said to also play a huge role.
With the help of the power of the space robe, Lin Li's figure kept flashing in the sky, avoiding the deadly and powerful magic cast by the frost dragon and seizing the fleeting opportunity to suddenly raise the Sun King's scepter in his hand. Although there was no enhancement from the Demon Realm, with the power of Holy Light and Darkness, Lin Li was still able to condense the giant sword of light and darkness in an instant, and slashed towards the Frost Dragon Syndra as if cutting through the sky.
The Holy Light Judgment did not have a purifying effect. Among the attack methods that Lin Li mastered, the most powerful one was still the giant sword of light and darkness. Although sometimes the Great Sword of Light and Darkness is consumed in the middle of the slash, and although sometimes the Great Sword of Light and Darkness fails to break through the hard ice armor even if it is struck at the giant frost dragon, Lin Li still does not give up and continues to use it. .
Although Lin Li also has five powerful star fragments besides Holy Light and Darkness, unfortunately, his mastery of those five star fragments is still far inferior to Holy Light and Darkness. Lin Li knew very well that after all, he was still at the peak of the Legend, and he did not have the Wrath of the Stars in his hands. He could not rely on the other five star fragments that he was not familiar with to fight against a powerful being like the Frost Dragon Syndra.
In fact, the attack of the giant sword of light and darkness was not without effect. At least Lin Li could vaguely feel that when his giant sword of light and darkness slashed at the frost giant Syndra, the intensity of the magic exerted by the opponent seemed to decrease. In fact, it is precisely because of this that other legendary powerhouses have been able to persist until now. Otherwise, with the strength of the frost dragon, they would have fallen one by one.
However, looking at it from another direction, it can be said that those legendary strong men who tried their best to defend and protect themselves also shared a certain amount of pressure for Lin Li to a certain extent. If they all died one by one, Lin Li's ending would not be happy either, facing the full power of the frost dragon Syndra.
Is it possible that the other party is also instinctively wary of the attack of the giant sword of light and darkness? Lin Li just had this thought in his mind, and immediately felt that it was a bit ridiculous. After all, the opponent was an ancient dragon at the same level as the Flame Dragon Salo. It should be said that he was half-way to becoming a god. How could he be prepared for such an attack? Be afraid. However, if not, then how to explain this phenomenon? Is it possible that the frost dragon, which has lost its self-awareness, is still interested in playing cat and mouse?
Apart from Lin Li, among the many legendary strong men, the only one who still had some resistance against the frost dragon's crushing was Conneris, who had a perfect body.
Although, according to Ash Warlock, the perfect body made by Lord Osric is far from perfect, let alone compared with any divine body.
However, I have to admit that this perfect body is indeed not inferior to the dragon Titan in all aspects.
After being trapped in the hammer for thousands of years, and now finally having a satisfactory body, Conneris was of course unwilling to die just like that, even if the opponent was the frost dragon Syndra.
He waved the Permafrost Blade in his hand, while continuously chanting ancient demonic runes that almost no one could understand, and unleashed strange and powerful demons that even exceeded the scope of today's demonic realm.
With Connor Reese's body as the center, circles of space ripples, like ripples on the water, continue to spread to the surroundings. Whenever the demon cast by the frost dragon Syndra falls into it, it is like being stuck in a quagmire, and the speed is greatly reduced. At the same time, under the continuous erosion of the ripples in the space, the power contained is also peeled off and dissipated layer by layer.
Seeing Lin Li blasting out with the giant sword of light and darkness, the power of the frost dragon seemed to be somewhat restrained. Conneris immediately chanted sixteen demonic runes without hesitation. As soon as the demon rune came out, behind Conneris, a demonic figure with a height of 100 meters suddenly appeared. The demonic god had two horns on its head and two wings on its back. As soon as it took shape, it punched the frost dragon out of thin air. .
"Bang!" The demon god's phantom punched the void, but it made a loud noise as if it had landed on a real object. At the same time, the thick fog of death surrounding the frost dragon Syndra seemed to be blown in by a strong wind and rolled around. You can even see that in the thick rolling fog, there are faint crystal ice chips flying around.
It seems that the momentum is indeed good, but everyone knows that such an attack still cannot shake the frost dragon at all. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Because in previous battles, Conneris had done the same thing more than once, and the result was the same every time. After the demon phantom punched, the huge fist was immediately covered with silver-white frost, and at the same time, the frost spread along the arm towards the entire phantom.
Conneris didn't dare to neglect for a moment. He chanted the demonic runes in his mouth to disperse the condensed demonic shadow, and at the same time he left his position as fast as lightning. The demon god's shadow dispersed, but the arm that had been wrapped in frost exploded in the air, making that space seem to have snowed.
The demonic shadow was formed by the condensed demonic power of Connors. Losing an arm meant losing part of the demonic power. Although Conneris has a perfect body and a very high magic power recovery speed, don't forget that this is the domain of the frost dragon Syndra. Not to mention him, even Lin Li's magic power recovery speed is not as fast as usual. Half of it.
"Damn it, I lost another arm. If I had known that Syndra would be here, even if I were beaten to death, I wouldn't have come with you!" Conneris, who had escaped the disaster, dealt with the ensuing attack. While complaining angrily to Lin Li. How long had it been since I had this body? Before I had time to enjoy the wonderful birthday of having a body, I was brought to a desperate situation again. Could it be that I was destined to be a soul without a body! No, if I die here, I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep my soul.
