Invincible Chapter 993

The autumn rain was drenching, and it had been raining all night, but it still didn't stop wantonly.

The mine has been burnt to nothingness. The old houses and facilities are now only charred wood and gravel. When the rain falls on them, they turn into wisps of steam and rise up with a whistling sound. In some places, the smoldering is still going on. , with a faint blue smoke.

Gladstone tightened his coat under the poncho, and turned his gaze to the shivering miners standing in the rain. They were thin, dirty, stooped, with their heads lowered, occasionally peeking at the heavily armed soldiers with shrinking eyes. Anxiously awaiting the verdict.

A 40-year-old man with an upturned mustache trotted over to the general, and reported flatteringly: "Inspector General, the nearby miners have assembled, what instructions do you have?"

Gladstone made a smile, but there was no smile. "Minister Cecil, it is your power and responsibility to deal with jurisdictional issues, how can I go beyond my authority?" He said with a gesture of invitation.

"I'm pooh" Cecil cursed inwardly, "It's nice to say, isn't it you who are fucking pointing fingers at Qiuzhai? The action failed, but I have to take the blame together..."

Like many large organizations that have existed for some years, there are also some discords between the headquarters and branches of the Freemasonry.

Because the headquarters has a systematic secret law, strong direct combat power, and a complete inspection system, the branches are not too big to lose, but the job rotation system cannot be implemented.

The main reason is that when the Freemasonry established its branch, it was to support the local obedient forces to rise to the top. As time passed, the local worms became the local snakes, and the relationship was intertwined. Coupled with issues such as geography and customs, it can be described as very complicated. The minister who came by airborne was not acclimatized at all.

What's more, the Freemasonry is not without rivals. Foreign enemies are stalking, and rashly vigorously rectifying it will only make everyone in each branch feel at risk, and the situation of alienation will become more serious.

Therefore, the grandfather of the headquarters can only start from the strength of the membership, exploit more, strengthen the direct line, and deter the branch so that it does not dare to go too far.

But in fact, the headquarters is also full of factions, there are intrigues and all kinds of corruption.

So in one sentence, the big ship of the Freemasonry has already passed its peak period, and it is struggling to maintain it and move forward slowly.

For such a situation, Gladstone and Cecil are naturally well aware, and even Zhao Wenrui has a general idea.

This is an old tiger with a lot of hidden injuries. It is indeed dangerous to stroke the beard and touch the tiger's buttocks, but if you slap a few slaps from the side, the probability of success is indeed very high.

Of course, the main reason why Zhao Wenrui had such an idea was that he had tasted the sweetness of taking the initiative this time.

In terms of combat, it can be said that there is nothing good about it. He didn't even use the bone beast, but almost simply used the spell of "summoning natural allies".

From the first ring to the sixth ring, each ring has a corresponding summoning natural ally. If the spell slots of each ring are equipped with a series of spells, a war group of monsters can be formed.

What's more interesting is that from low-level to high-level echelons, it is completely possible to complete the arrangement of combat strength and arms.

For example, the shadow boa is a sixth-ring shadow ally, and the shadow python is a three-ring shadow ally. The shadow boa can summon four heads at a time, while the shadow python has 12. They can complement each other by guarding their partners.

To make up for the lack of attack frequency of the Anaconda, the Anaconda is incapable of attacking high-attack and high-defense targets.

Coupled with the charge and dash ability of the beast, the spider web technique ability of the shadow spider, and the magic fog ability of the shadow squid (level 7)...

Such a team with spell-like skills in all arms, the overall combat power is naturally very good.

What's more, Zhao Wenrui is in charge, supported by Shadow Crow, Shadow Vine and various spells.

In addition to the elusiveness of freely entering and leaving the shadow plane, it can be said that the defenders of the mine were abused from the beginning to the end. When it was time to evacuate, I realized that even if the opponent confronted them head-on at the beginning, they could still crush them. The only reason why I played the mode of boiling frogs in warm water for a while was because I wanted to catch them all!

In fact, Zhao Wenrui really had such thoughts in mind from the very beginning. After all, the secret investigation before the war did not find the existence of a master who could bear the concept of 'variable'.

However, the Masonic guards at the mine did not guess the reason why Zhao Wenrui used the tactic of boiling frogs in warm water.

At least not all guessed.

One of the reasons why he used this tactic was that he didn't want to give the guards the opportunity to take miners hostage and cannon fodder on a large scale.

Although he knew that being poor and weak did not mean kindness, and even witnessed how the poor oppressed the miners with lower status, he chose not to affect the miners as much as possible from the very beginning.

At the same time, he didn't want the mine guards to see that he cared about the miners' injuries, so he used this tactic. While showing the enemy's weakness in advance, he carried forward the guerrilla style of "hit and run" to attack the miners in single positions. The number of attacks and killings is the main one, and it creates a situation of rescuing someone without knowing where it is.

In this way, the mine guards thought that they had the upper hand, that they were on their side with geographical advantage, number of people, and total combat power, but the other party was quite cunning and cruel.

With this understanding, the way the mine guards responded was more like whack-a-mole, divided into several teams, and smashed wherever they appeared.

In Zhao Wenrui's eyes, this is tantamount to being divided into small pieces by his scheme.

So it's like a cut steak, you don't need to gobble it up, and you don't have to worry about being choked, but you can eat it comfortably and quickly.

After all, Zhao Wenrui and his subordinates have the advantage of taking shortcuts in the shadow plane, and this advantage is further enhanced in three-dimensional areas with a maze like mines.

In the face of the concentrated fire attack of Zhao Wenrui's battle group, a small group of mine guards were defeated without any suspense, they were completely slaughtered.

After killing the guards of the mine and some of the dogs who were close to the guards, Zhao Wenrui successfully deterred the miners who were trying to rob.

He didn't show the traits of a liberator who rescued the suffering, but played the trick of bandits joining the gang.

The most important feature of bandits joining a gang is not to force a good man to become a bandit, but to hand in a name.

He also added an extra one, taking 'Shadow Poison', to put it bluntly, it is the Shadow Druid version of 'Three Corpse Brain Pills'. Pills are both beneficial and poisonous. Take poison-reducing medicine regularly, otherwise you will die from poisoning.

As a result, he has seen the cunning of the poor, only a small number of people are willing to join the gang, and most of them choose to hand over their certificates, and then distribute the food.

And this very small number of entrants can be roughly divided into three categories.

The first category is those who know that they are weak and weak, and cannot escape at all. There are the most people of this type, and they are basically miners. Their bodies have been tortured and broken, and they don't have much time to live.

Of course, that is also wanting to live, after all, the most difficult thing in the ages is death.

So for these people, joining Zhao Wenrui's gang was mainly due to the idea of ​​gambling.

The second category, opportunists. This category is also mostly mined slaves.

The identities of Freemason miners come from various sources, including captives of hostile forces.

These people have some skills, some insight, some brains, and no lack of courage. They are not willing to be exhausted in the mine, and have been secretly looking for opportunities.

And Zhao Wenrui is a good opportunity for them. This opportunity is not just to join the team, but also to find out the details of Zhao Wenrui, sell the information to others, or match up for their old club, etc.

These people know that taking refuge with nothing is the most embarrassing thing. First climb out of the trough, and then make some preparations, the situation will be very different.

The third category has nowhere to go, and is willing to follow Zhao Wenrui to see if he can make something famous.

This kind of people is the least. There are nearly a thousand miners and miners in the entire mine, and no such people are in double digits.

Generally speaking, almost no one joined the gang with the heart of repaying gratitude; very few joined the gang willing to take a gamble, and most of them handed in the certificate of nomination and then received some rations.

As for the nomination certificate, in fact, he worked under Zhao Wenrui's assignment and participated in the burning of the mine.

In essence, this is not an ordinary burning, but a sacrifice.

Before the sacrifice, Zhao Wenrui was not sure, but had the attitude of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, it really works, and the harvest is beyond his imagination.

The golden finger system provides more choices. In addition to obtaining temporary extra strength enhancement, it can also be settled with experience points or materials.

In other words, the totem system of sacrifice has actually opened up the store system.

For Zhao Wenrui, who was trying to quickly raise his level, this discovery was naturally a boon that made him ecstatic.

So he completed the sacrificial ceremony as required and sacrificed the entire mine.

The experience points he gained allowed him to go straight to level 15, giving him one-third more experience.

He felt that this trip to the magic crystal mine alone would make a lot of money for him. After all, level 15 is a watershed for extraordinary combat roles.

So where exactly is it?

The first is the 8-ring spell slot. There are some more powerful spells, such as Finger of Death, Mantra of Return (transport back to the marked location, similar to the hearth stone in World of Warcraft) and so on.

Secondly, in terms of special abilities, it can become super-large animals, such as Tyrannosaurus rex, adult shadow squid, shadow horseshoe crab, etc. In addition, it also has the effect of eternal youth.

And Yingde, as a hero template combat role, gives a special ability (optional)

Zhao Wenrui chose the 'Lord of the Shadow Demon' this time.

Lord of Shadow Demons: Acquire the skill of making Shadow Demons, and for each Shadow Demon, Shadow Affinity +1%.

Remarks: The upper limit of the number of shadow monsters is always a multiple of the level of the master of shadow monsters.

It is currently doubled, that is to say, Zhao Wenrui can create 30 shadow monsters.

As for the shadow monsters, they can be said to be liches who use the power of shadows, but they are not of the magical system, but of the melee system, dexterous, high attack, although their own defense is not high, but they have three major skills, the shadow Shields, blurs, and phylactery, so they are not brittle.

Zhao Wenrui thinks that the Lord of the Shadow Demon fits very well with the extra special ability 'Shadow Lord' obtained at level 14.

Just by looking at the name, you know it is a series. And shadow monsters add shadow affinity, 30 shadow monsters are in place, and the affinity is increased by 30%.

His shadow affinity is already 90%, if he continues to improve, beyond 100%, there will be another wave of unusual growth.

In other words, by increasing his shadow affinity, he is on the road to becoming a shadow lord.

As for the Shadow Demon, it can be said that it has upgraded the soul type of his four types of puppets.

This category was originally partial to necromancy spells, and he didn't want to invest too much in this area before, so he had the cannon fodder system of returning soul puppets.

However, the shadow demon has brought this series to a big level, and it has been included in the shadow series.

Because creating a shadow demon involves slave souls and body refining, and body refining is refining with shadow flames.

This is equivalent to allowing him to obtain a basic method, which can be used to upgrade the material of the bone beast's body.

And the slave soul technique (slaving the soul) can make his shadow crow mimicry technique to a higher level.

At the same time, the creation of the Shadow Demon prevents the body of the returned soul puppet from rotting and expired, which is equivalent to saving a large amount of cost investment.

So after careful calculation, the price/performance ratio is not generally high, and it suits his appetite, so he is naturally happy.

Also, since it is a hero template, starting from level 15, he can already touch the power of the domain.

It usually starts at level 18, and his early contact with the power of the domain is another comprehensive increase in overall strength, because the domain he chose is exactly the shadow.

Considering that it will take some time for him to transform the various benefits brought about by leveling up into strength, and the full moon is approaching, and the strange activities will intensify, Zhao Wenrui decided to find a place to hibernate and recuperate for a few days.

Finally, after some consideration, he chose Old Town as his foothold.

Oldtown is the ruins of a town that was overrun by aberrations in its early years.

There are several reasons why people did not rebuild from the ruins.

The first is the problem of drinking water.

The draft water of the old town, including farming, all rely on wells.

Old Town has a well-developed underground water vein, and the well is built on the water vein. The well water is sweet, and the crops irrigated by it are also of exceptional quality. The wine brewed from the well water and grain here was once very popular.

Old Town was born out of the brewing industry.

However, due to the strange disaster, the water veins became the way of war, and the water was polluted and could no longer be eaten. This became the main reason why people gave up here.

The second is that the loss was huge at the beginning. The strange monsters came out of the well, and the inside and the outside cooperated, captured the old town, and caused a fire. A large amount of wine, distiller's grains, and straw became combustion aids, and the reconstruction investment was too large.

The third reason is that Lin Jinren retreated due to lack of manpower.

Because the strange monsters captured the town, the loss of personnel was also very large, and the remaining people were not enough to cope with the erosion of the wilderness, so they went to relatives and friends, and people integrated into other villages and towns.

When Zhao Wenrui and his party came to the old town, what they saw was the scene of ruins with deep grass and trees. The original farmland and roads had been replaced by trees and weeds, and the ruins were also eroded severely. I could vaguely see some dilapidated walls and some dilapidated houses.

Zhao Wenrui didn't care about these things. He didn't need too much support. He could build a residence in a short period of time by relying on spells. What's more, there were a batch of materials seized from the mine that could be used.

He chose this place because he thought that there might be something special about the strange disaster in Old Town back then. This hidden story is likely to involve the secret of Aragami. And he thought ambitiously, could he attribute the mighty power of Rage God to nature? Even if it can't be done, if there are any important relics, you can sacrifice them...
