Chapter 173: Rhadamantis Is a Horticulturist
As soon as the roller sword array of the gold coin came into contact with the noisy banshees falling to the ground, it immediately caused a very disgusting cutting scene, with the sound of cracking bones and the hissing sound of the blade cutting. Coupled with the noisy screams of the succubus, it mixed into an extremely unpleasant noise that made one feel like their stomach was churning and just wanted to vomit.
Although the sound of this sword array is not very pleasant, I have to admit that the effect is good. Once the noisy banshees in front come into contact with the rollers of this sword array, they will immediately be cut into pieces and fly around, and compared with the gold coins against the sword array, The speed is controlled very well, and not a drop of the flying meat will be thrown in our direction, it will all fly forward.
Although some of the noisy banshees on the ground really fell hard and lost the ability to fly, in fact, most of the noisy banshees were just knocked unconscious for a moment and did not really lose their mobility. As soon as the sword array on our side started moving, the noisy banshees immediately struggled and tried to take off. However, after discovering this situation, the gold coin blew the magic flute again, while the noisy banshees on the opposite side all seemed to be drunk. They staggered all over the ground. Some noisy banshees struggled to stand up and flapped their wings in an attempt to forcefully take off. As a result, some flew away like missiles, while others flew sideways against the ground for a short distance before falling headlong. Others even ran directly into the sword formation and were turned into pulp.
Although the chaotic scene looks like the Noisy Banshee has suffered a great loss, in fact, these dead Noisy Banshees are really worthless against the total number of Noisy Banshees here, and although the frontal battlefield is completely assisted by the sword array , but some noisy banshees who reacted pressed up from behind and from both sides. Fortunately, Bingbing's flute had a great impact on these guys, and Kristina and the gold coins intercepted them very thoroughly, so we did not encounter any actual threats.
"Quick, quick, I see the target."
As we moved, the distance between the boundary of the Noisy Nest and us quickly disappeared. Finally, when we successfully broke into the forest composed of the Noisy Nest, I immediately discovered a fragment of the Noisy Nest. body. Different from the nearly dead split bodies that we encountered before, the split body in front of us is slightly smaller, with purple meridians covering its surface, and a thick layer of mucus like snot on the outside. To be honest, this thing looks disgusting. However, I lost my Styx Banshee. Even if this thing looks like "Xiang", I still have to get it back.
Under my guidance, Jin Coin began to direct the sword array to turn, and then our assault direction changed, and we quickly rushed to the side of the split body. Because this thing is alive, the Phoenix Dragon Space cannot hold it. I can only open the door to the earth and ask the Qilin Warrior to help move this thing in quickly.
The Qilin warriors reacted quickly. This split body is not very heavy. It is only a little more than one meter in diameter, and its weight is slightly heavier than that of an adult. Two unicorn warriors stood on the left and right, hugged the thing and lifted it up.
Watching them send the split body into the gate of the earth, I quickly closed the gate of the earth and continued to move towards the next target point.
According to our previous assumptions, as we gradually go deeper into the forest composed of noisy nests, the pressure on us should be increasing. But just like many scientific theories are found to be outrageously wrong when they are actually applied, our previous assumptions were completely reversed.
According to normal thinking, when we enter the opponent's lair, of course the pressure will increase the further we rush in. After all, this is the family's lair, and we will definitely be besieged if we rush in. However, when we actually came in, we discovered that after entering here, our pressure dropped a lot, and the reason was due to these noisy nests above our heads.
To us, the Noisy Nest is the nest of the Noisy Banshees, but for the Noisy Banshees, it is their home and their parents, so the Noisy Banshees are actually afraid of hurting these Noisy Nests. The so-called rat-throwing weapon, the Noisy Banshee was worried about hurting the Noisy Nest, so she didn't dare to push too hard after we entered here. In fact, even if they don't care about these noisy nests, our stress will never be higher than when we are outside, because the noisy nests above us are too dense. The huge fleshy balls on the branches of these things are much thicker, so they form a dense umbrella above our heads, leaving only a small gap.
As flying creatures, the Noisy Banshee's attack route is of course from above, but now there are so many Noisy Nests blocking our heads, which invisibly blocks many attack routes, making it impossible for the Noisy Banshees to use their special skills. The attack method is to slowly descend from the gaps in the Noisy Nest, and then stumble to attack us from the ground. This unfavorable factor caused the offensive intensity of the Noisy Banshee to plummet, but we were able to attack without restraint, so after entering here, we immediately felt that the pressure on us was much lighter.
Because it is not as strenuous as outside, our propulsion speed has obviously increased a lot. Quickly approach the next noisy nest that has just been produced, and there is a split body lying on the ground at the bottom. After this thing is produced, it will be transported away by the Noisy Banshee, so only the split bodies that have just been born are our targets. As for the ones that are transported away, I don't want them even if I can find them. It's been around for a while, and it definitely has low vitality, which doesn't meet my needs.
After successfully capturing the second split body, we started to move again. Since we had already checked the location distribution of the split bodies here through darts, we had to collect the non-production routes that were accurate and effective. We could hardly walk far to pick them up. We arrived at a split body, and there was one place where we picked up three split bodies in one go. The number of split bodies in the Gate of the Earth soon exceeded twenty, but this number was still not enough, and it was far from enough. Fortunately, everyone has now adapted to the fighting style here, and no one finds it difficult, so we started to search and move forward.
The route scouted by Dart is actually not too long. We collected more than forty fragments along the way, but these are not enough. Unfortunately, the route scouted by Dart is only that little, so we still need the rest. Find it yourself. Fortunately, the split bodies here are not uncommon. Basically, you can see a newly generated split body just by looking around, so our collection work has not been affected except for a slight decrease in speed.
"Okay, this is the one hundred and fifty. It should be almost enough." After nearly an hour of collection, we finally collected one hundred and fifty split bodies. Under normal circumstances, even if we are unlucky and the mortality rate of this batch of split bodies is relatively high, we should be able to preserve at least one-third, that is, fifty samples. Then use the death air of the underworld to infect them. The survival rate in this process is about one-eighth, slightly lower, but if there are fifty split bodies, at least six or seven of them can be successfully infected. , and we actually only need more than three successful individuals. Six or seven is more than double the amount of insurance, so I plan to leave right now. However, just when I was about to ask everyone to evacuate, Kristina discovered something.
"President, look over there."
I looked along Kristina's fingers, and then I discovered a Noisy Nest not far from us that was obviously different from the surrounding Noisy Nests. Although this Noisy Nest also stands on the ground like a lollipop, the size of this Noisy Nest is more than four times larger than other Noisy Nests around it. Other Noisy Nest Main Threads are only four or five meters tall. This guy's main Thread below alone is more than ten meters tall, and the diameter of the sarcoma on the top is more than eight meters in diameter. Its color is even different from Normally the Noisy Nest is dark red, but black and purple.
"What is this? An evolved body?" Jin Coin and Bingbing also noticed the different Noisy Nest.
I just thought about it for a second and then immediately pointed over there and shouted: "Whether it is an evolved form or not, just get rid of those split bodies below."
"Hey, there are so many?" No one noticed it before. When I woke up, they discovered that there were at least thirty split bodies densely packed under the Noisy Nest that was different from ordinary Noisy Nests, and among them Only two-thirds are the kind of split bodies we have seen before, and the remaining one-third, or a dozen or so, are purple-black split bodies. It can be seen from this color that these purple and black split bodies are probably the split bodies of this mutant's Noisy Nest. Although it is not known for the time being whether that thing is more powerful than before the mutation, but in any case, that There are also more than thirty split bodies, and the straight-line distance from us is less than thirty meters. There were so many splinter bodies at such a close distance, and I really couldn't bear to give up, so I ordered everyone to rush over.
Although we don't know yet whether the attributes of the mutated Noisy Nest are good or bad, as we get closer there we at least know that this thing is very important to the Noisy Banshee, because we have been afraid of damaging the Noisy Nest before. Those noisy banshees actually went berserk after discovering our intentions. These noisy banshees seemed to be crazy and no longer cared about the noisy nests, but the crazy kings squeezed down. Even if some noisy nests were crumbled by them, they continued to move on without caring. Undershoot.
Seeing that the other party is so crazy, we are determined to get those purple split bodies. After all, since the other party is so crazy about protecting us, those things must be very important. However, just when we were only a few meters away from the split bodies of the Noisy Nest, a group of noisy banshees that were obviously several times larger than the surrounding noisy banshees suddenly swooped down from overhead. However, they did not come to attack us, but went directly to those purple Noisy Nest split bodies. These giant noisy banshees flew directly above the split bodies, then stretched out their claws to grab the split bodies on the ground and began to flap their wings vigorously in an attempt to take away the split bodies on the ground.
Everyone knows that the energy consumption of flying units is the highest when taking off. Although these noisy banshees are much larger than ordinary noisy banshees, it is still difficult to fly with such a split body with a diameter of more than one meter. Quite strenuous. Watching those guys flapping their wings and taking off staggeringly, of course I couldn't let them do what they wanted. Those purple split bodies are my target, how can I let them take them away?
"Kristina, protect Bingbing, I'll intercept those big guys."
"Leave it to us." After Kristina finished speaking, I rushed out, then directly opened the door of the earth and stood it in a gap in the middle of the split body. Although I am mainly going to get those purple split bodies, but since they are all here, there is no reason why I should not let go of these ordinary split bodies around me.
As soon as the gate of the earth opened, the Qilin warrior inside quickly ran out, and then quickly moved the split body inside, while I had already rushed to the nearest noisy banshee with a purple split body. behind.
This noisy banshee is grabbing the huge split body and flapping its wings desperately, but even so, she is only half a meter above the ground, and the rising speed is extremely slow, obviously because of insufficient lift. Looking at the noisy banshee, I jumped up without saying a word, jumped on the back of the noisy banshee from behind, hugged her head and twisted it hard. There was just a click, and the noisy banshee died before it even hit the ground.
After landing with the body of the noisy banshee and the purple split body, I immediately threw the purple split body here towards the Kirin Warrior. Two Kirin warriors accurately caught the split body and carried it into the gate of the earth.
Just like I guessed before, this purple noisy nest must be very important, and even the split body it produces is equally important. We have robbed more than a hundred splinter bodies before, and those noisy banshees continued to fight as usual, without appearing to be in a hurry. But now, I just grabbed a purple split body, and those noisy banshees rushed towards the gate of the earth as if they had gone crazy collectively.
Due to the divine power of Mother Earth, no god or advanced creature has ever dared to enter the Gate of the Earth. However, the problem is that the Noisy Banshee seems to be of too low a level. Jingran’s ability to sense the divine power is very weak, and the purple split body Stimulated by the excitement, these noisy banshees frantically began to rush into the gate of the earth, trying to snatch back the split body.
Although the Gate of the Earth is quite small, the problem is that facing thousands of noisy banshees, the entrance still seems a little small. For a moment, the noisy banshees of the cycle formed a huge black torrent, pouring into the gate of the earth like a thick black tentacle. It was so dense that it was so dense that my Qilin warrior was blocked. On both sides of the gate, the Qilin warriors inside cannot get out, and those outside cannot go back.
When I saw this situation, I gave up trying to grab other purple split bodies and went back to save the situation. After all, the Gate of the Earth is the back garden of Mother Earth. As far as I know about Mother Earth, she seems to be a quiet being. The problem is that a noisy banshee is basically like a big trumpet. And the sound quality is extremely ugly. If you accidentally get one or two in, it's okay, but thousands of them are in at one breath. The noise is definitely intolerable to Mother Earth. When I used Earth Gate to station troops, I just borrowed the back garden of Earth Gate. That place did not belong to me, so I had to know how to use it as a guest. This situation is absolutely disrespectful to the master, so I don't care about anything now, I just hope to get those noisy banshees out quickly.
Although my reaction was already very fast, unfortunately, Mother Earth's tolerance for noise is really very low, so I was just about to start it when I saw a sudden loud bang at the door of the Earth Gate over there. In a flash, a light green shock wave suddenly spread out from the door and formed a green light film that spread out in all directions.
The diffusion speed of this light film was very fast. It took almost only one second to rush out several hundred meters. The forward left my sight in the blink of an eye, and the noisy banshees swept by the light film all seemed like The remote control aircraft that suddenly lost power began to crackle and fall like rain. A layer of noisy banshees immediately formed around us.
"What's going on with you? Who asked you to bring this disgusting thing in?" Mother Earth angrily appeared at the door of the Earth Gate, then glared at me and asked.
"Um... I'm really sorry. I just wanted to take these split bodies back, but I didn't expect those noisy banshees to actually chase the split bodies and rush in. I didn't dare to go in because of their divine power that would make them afraid like other creatures. It’s here!”
"Hmph, such disgusting low-level creatures don't even know what divine power is. You actually think that they are afraid of divine power. You are really stupid. Okay, please pay attention to me now. I won't argue with you this time. , But, there won’t be another time. I don’t like noise, please be careful, anything that makes noise is not allowed in my back garden.”
"Yes, yes, I promise there won't be a next time!" I apologized hastily. After all, it was my fault first. Those who confidently argue with others even though they have made mistakes are idiots, especially when the other party is better than you.
"Phew, I was scared to death!" Only after seeing Mother Earth angrily returning to the Gate of the Earth did Gold Coin dare to open his mouth to speak.
Kristina also nodded and said: "The magic power fluctuations are so strong, I feel like the demons around me are out of my sensing range in an instant. Around her, the magic roots cannot be used!"
"I am a high-ranking god, so of course she is very different from us. But don't worry, Mother Earth is quite good to me."
Jin Coin looked at the noisy banshees spread out around him and said, "Thanks to her being nice to you, look at these noisy banshees. It seems like they just used a random trick when they entered the house, right?"
In fact, the entire valley is now dead silent. It is estimated that it has never been so quiet since the first noisy banshee settled here. Although I didn't see how far the green light film spread, I can be sure that it definitely swept the entire noisy banshee's lair, otherwise the place would never be as quiet as this. You must know that the noisy banshee is synonymous with noise. If all the noisy banshees here hadn't fainted, how could it be so quiet?
After sighing for a moment about the terrifying strength of Mother Earth, I quickly urged the Qilin Warrior to hurry up. Move all the noisy banshees on the ground around, and then quickly take out the fragments that Dad was buried in and stuff them into the gate of the earth. After doing all this, we simply summoned our respective guardian spears and left the place from the air. Anyway, all the noisy banshees were lying on the ground now, and the air had become very safe. Of course, this is only temporary.
As a high-ranking god, Mother Earth will generally not take action against other creatures unless the other party actively provokes her. She took action just now because the noisy banshees were too noisy, but following the consistent style of the higher gods, she did not kill them, but only used her power to temporarily stun the noisy banshees. Don't look at the boisterous succubus lying here for a bit now. But after a while, they will definitely get up again and fly around looking for us.
Before those noisy banshees woke up, we left this ghost place as quickly as possible. After leaving the mission area, directly use the teleportation array in the nearby city to return to Yaoyu City, and then teleport back to Essinger.
We no longer need protection when we get to Essinger, and I can't take them down to where I'm going soon, so I let Kristina and Gold Coin leave first.
After dismissing the temporary team, I asked the God of War to help me contact Oresia. She had been sent back by Kristina before, and was now receiving guild benefits under the leadership of a member. I told her to wait for me at the Interior Hall after receiving the guild benefits, and then I cut off communication and went to Essinger's dungeon.
Enter the underworld directly through the gate of the underworld in the underground city. After arriving at the Weak Water River, you happen to encounter Radamance commanding a group of people to build something. However, it has not been completed yet, so you can’t tell what it is for the time being. .
"President Ziri?" Radamance said hello immediately after seeing me, and then asked: "What's going on here?"
The underworld is also the underworld. I am now entrusting this place to Hades, so I usually will not come down. But as long as I come down, there's probably something going on.
I nodded and said, "I just made some Noisy Banshee nests. I want to see if I can evolve the nests and create some Styx Banshees."
"The evolution of the nest?" Radamance looked at me in surprise and asked, "Don't you know?"
"oah? What should I know?"
Radamance looked at me again, and after confirming that I really didn't know, he said: "The Noisy Banshee can indeed evolve into the Styx Banshee, but the Noisy Banshee's lair cannot withstand the death of the underworld. It is corroded by force, so if you put the Noisy Nest here, it will wither and die within a short period of time, and there is no way to produce the Styx Banshee."
"Huh? Is that so? I really didn't know it very well before. What? It sounds like you know it very well."
Radamance actually blushed a little when he said this, but he soon adjusted it, then smiled and leaned forward and whispered: "Well, actually, I have raised many Styx banshees myself."
I looked at Radhamanth in surprise, and then said with a clear expression: "Oh, I understand, I understand. We are all men, so it is understandable."
Normally, when I look at Radamance's stern and serious attitude, I really think that this guy is like a machine. But now it seems that is not the case at all. Radamance only takes his work seriously and is one of the three giants in hell. His identity is a relatively transcendent existence on Hades' side. Except for Hades and his wife, only Pandora has a slightly higher status than him. The others are all his subordinates, and Radamance is under direct jurisdiction here, so he usually has to put on a show. The adjutant is so arrogant, otherwise he won't be able to accept it. Besides, this place is the underworld, and he only cares about death. It's very strange to be smiling all day long.
Because of these reasons, Radhamansi usually behaves like a machine, but in fact he is also a normal person, and he also has those male hobbies. Even though the noisy banshees before they evolved were all very abstract, the Styx banshees were recognized beauties. Apart from succubi and a small number of advanced demons, they were almost the top beauties among dark creatures. You must know that those movie stars and graphic models are also ordinary people. Before they evolved, they were just apes. Therefore, the relationship between the appearance of this evolved body and its ancestors is not very direct. Just because the Noisy Banshee is ugly does not mean that the Stygian Banshee is also ugly. Therefore, as a normal person, it is understandable that Radamance usually keeps some Styx banshees at home. On the one hand, it can be used as a maid, and on the other hand, it can also meet some special needs.
"Then... I won't accept this matter for now." Radamance changed the topic and said: "You want to transform more Styx banshees, right?"
I nodded and said: "I want to turn the Styx Banshees into the guild guardian beasts of our guild, but the guild protection is not just a few Styx Banshees. It requires a certain number of foundations, and there are Let this group form a stable breeding cycle, at least to ensure the normal continuation of the population. The Styx Banshee reproduces without sex, so to ensure the reproduction of the population, there must be a Styx Banshee's Nest, but the problem is that you just It is said that the Noisy Nest cannot be transformed, so where did those Styx Banshees I saw before come from? I remember that I did see the Styx Banshee's lair. Isn't that the Styx Banshee? A lair, but a lair of noise?”
"This is actually a misunderstanding." Radamance said: "Let's do this. Come with me, I will help resolve this matter."
"Oh, that's great. Let's go."
Radamance turned around and handed over his work, then took me through the Naihe Bridge to the other side of the Weishui River. Not far ahead we saw the new Yama Hall which was almost completed.
This Yama Hall is the official establishment of Yaoting, which is the Eleventh Yama Hall, and is officially registered in Yaoting. However, ours is basically a private contract, so unlike the previous ten public Yama Halls, our Yama Hall can be modified at will. In addition, our guild has recently recruited Hades and the other original gods of the underworld, so this building complex was built with direct reference to Western architectural styles. Of course, this design also serves the purpose of conveniently hiding those power of faith collectors and storage and conversion equipment. According to the general standards of the Yama Hall, there is no place to put the equipment, so we can only build this Yama Hall in a Western style, so that it can be built taller. And the most important thing is that the gods in Yaoting are not like the government officials. They are restricted by the system and cannot leave the Chinese border. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the gods in Yaoting are all rubes.
Precisely because those immortals in Yaoting are bumpkins, they don’t understand the style of Western architecture at all. Even if they bother to come and inspect it, we will definitely be able to get through it. Otherwise, if we follow the original structure, It’s easy to see where there should be something, and we can’t hide it.
After bypassing the Yama Hall, which was almost completed, we arrived at the Garden of the Underworld, which is known as the most beautiful place in the underworld. This thing is completely the masterpiece of Hades and his wife. Who is the goddess of Chun? Of course, the garden here is not yet completely completed. What you can see most at the moment are patches of Hibiscus flowers. This thing is a plant from the underworld. It almost grows like crazy in a place like this. Other plants need divine protection to grow in the underworld, otherwise they will wither. But even with divine protection, they still grow very slowly, so the current garden is basically The ground is bare, with only some green seedlings and the like remaining.
Passing through the garden here, we then entered the open space area at the rear. The underworld is different from Iruma. This place has less entrance and more land, and there are large expanses of air everywhere, so it is very easy to expand anything.
Radhamans helped me find a location slightly far away from the Yama Hall, and then used his divine power to draw a large area here. After marking this area, Radamance said to me: "This will be used as a dedicated breeding ground for the Styx banshees from now on. What do you think?"
I nodded and said, "Okay, this place is pretty good."
Radamance heard my promise and continued: "Then let's prepare the starting Styx Banshee first. Well, you will have a nest of the Noisy Banshee on you, right?"
I nodded and said: "Yes, there is, but didn't you say you can't take it out? It will wither when it comes into contact with the breath of the underworld!"
"It will wither, but it will take a while, and it won't be that fast. You come out first, and I will protect it with my divine power. That way it will be fine."
"Huh? You can also protect plants from being corroded by the breath of the underworld? Isn't this the ability of Persephone?" < power, but if you only protect one or two plants, any protoss can do it. However, unlike the Queen of the Underworld, our ability is relatively poor and we can only maintain it like this. As soon as I stop, it will lose its effect immediately. However, as long as Persephone releases a protection spell, unless she Take the initiative to remove that protection, or someone else destroys the protection spell, otherwise this power will continue to be maintained. "
"Recruiting a professional is indeed different. But if you protect yourself, do you have to maintain the growth space of this noisy nest like this?"
"That's not necessary." Radamance explained: "Although I am not as powerful as Persephone, we just need this Noisy Nest to produce a Noisy Banshee. It won't take long. "
"Is that so? Then you continue." I said and took out a split body, and then handed it to Radamance.
After taking the split body, Radamance looked at it carefully, then shook his head and said: "This is useless, it doesn't have much energy anymore."
Since I had known for a long time that at least two-thirds of these split bodies would die, I was not surprised at all. I asked Radamance to throw away the split body, and then asked the Kirin Warrior to move out a few more. Radamance checked each one one by one, then selected one and took it to the open space aside.
"Hold it for me first, don't let it fall to the ground." Radamance handed the split body to me and said.
I nodded and took the split body, then looked to see what Radamance wanted. I saw that this time, Radamance first used his divine power to dig a large vertical hole on the ground, with a depth of at least ten meters, and then threw a lot of one of the things he took out of his storage equipment into it. Red powder. I looked at the things he sprinkled curiously and asked, "What kind of powder is this? Why does it smell so sweet?"
Radamance said with a smile: "I advise you not to ask. It's better that you don't know the origin of this thing."
"I know, it must be something disgusting. But if you don't tell me its origin, at least tell me what it is used for?"
When Radamance said this, he suddenly laughed obscenely. To be honest, this expression has nothing to do with his usual image. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that Radhamans could smile so obscenely and lewdly.
"Hehe, when it comes to functions, it's amazing. This thing can not only isolate the underworld breath in the soil of the underworld from corroding the plants, but also promote the evolution of the Styx Banshee. But the above are only auxiliary effects. In fact, this thing is the most The powerful ability is to make the Styx Banshee’s figure become hotter and the face become more beautiful. This is what I discovered when I raised the Styx Banshee before, and no one else knows about it except me.”
"Eh... By the way, what were you studying when you were free?" In the past, I only heard about all kinds of weird gossip in the Olympus Protoss, but now that I think about it, maybe there are more than just Olympus people. Zeus is an old bastard, and maybe the other Olympians also have more or less problems in this regard. At least Radamance can obviously be counted as one, but he pays more attention to his image than Zeus, who is a scumbag, and usually doesn't show it outside.
"Okay. Now comes the most important part." Radamance excitedly finished dusting the powder and snatched the split body of the Noisy Nest from my hand and threw it into the hole below. "Now prepare to witness the miracle!"
