Chapter 238: Taking Advantage of Others
The statue was destroyed, the altar was smashed, and the scene was a bloody mess of broken bones and broken stones. Clown felt that the malice that had been lingering around him disappeared.
When the battle was over, he approached the statue, released the Sunfire spell twice, and then poured a few golden water.
Black mist rose from the broken stones, and the drifting mist slowly dissipated like a twisting demon.
When he saw that there was no more black mist on the remains of the statue, he stopped his actions.
Nick came over and frowned and said, "It's this evil god statue again. It's really haunting. We have encountered it for the second time."
He remembered the embarrassment when he faced this evil god statue for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh at the rapid increase in his friend's strength.
That time, several of them almost died in York Town. If it weren't for his friend destroying the statue, they would have mutated into the minions of the evil god and been wiped out by the church.
Originally, he wanted to rush over to help, but when he ran close to the evil god statue, the statue had already shattered.
Not only did his friend solve the battle in a short time, but now even the trouble has been eliminated.
‘What kind of Godson bloodline can be so powerful? ! ’ Nick was full of envy and sigh.
This is the third time I have encountered it. Clown muttered to himself and sneered:
“It seems that this evil god is very widespread, not only in human society, but there may be more opportunities to deal with him in the future.”
The first time he came into contact with this evil god like a swollen meat ball, he was almost dead and escaped danger. Now he can calmly destroy the other party’s statue that activates power. He is very satisfied with his progress.
He closed his eyes and summoned the golden wall.
In the battle just now, many black shadows rushed towards him like moths to flames and were then ignited. He felt a warm current flowing into his body.
[Blade Storm: 2574/5000; Second Level]
[Golden Light Curse: 44860/100000; Second Level]
The proficiency of Blade Storm has increased by more than 1,200 points in the past two days of high-intensity battles.
He now has a clearer understanding of the mechanism of increasing the proficiency of the Golden Wall. The speed of skill proficiency increase in actual combat is much faster than training alone.
These days, he has used the Blade Storm for at most an hour. The stronger the enemy, the faster the proficiency increases.
The proficiency of the Golden Light Curse is more than a thousand points higher than this morning. Killing monsters will give you extra experience. Doesn't this mean that he can find a statue of the evil god to fish?
However, this idea was quickly suppressed by him. It is easy to play with fire and burn yourself. He is only a third-level extraordinary person now, and the rank of the gods must be at least the golden level of the stigma.
Converted to rank, the gods are at least the seventh-level bosses, and the evil gods are no exception.
Relying on the current small body to deliberately fleece the evil god is like hanging an old man who thinks his life is too long.
The last time he dealt with Lucas, he clearly felt malicious prying, and it is very likely that he has registered with the evil god.
Seeing his companion close his eyes, Nick asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Crown opened his eyes and shook his head: "Nothing, clean up the battlefield and leave here quickly."
. . . .
At the bottom of the No. 1 mine, two ratmen were tied tightly with stones stuffed in their mouths. These were the two experimental subjects captured by Clown.
In the past two days, he and Nick led the troops to explore and clear the remaining three mines. No evil god statues were found in these mines.
Now the ratmen have learned to be smart. As long as they enter the mine, they all hide in the small tunnels dug out.
These narrow passages are only as thick as buckets. Only thin humans can enter, and they cannot chase.
The flying strange object buzzed out of the tunnel. Clown caught it and used his mental power to connect to the storage area of the strange object, and perceived the reconnaissance image.
After checking, he handed the strange object back to Nick and said with a smile:
"It seems that we have to do what we did in Yorktown again. The good news is that these ratmen don't know how to install portals, otherwise things will be more difficult."
When in Yorktown, the old sheriff used red phosphorus to produce a large amount of poisonous smoke, which worked well.
However, the capacity of the mine is many times larger than it was then, and it is destined to consume a huge amount of resources.
But it has to be done. If these ratmen are not completely eliminated, the production of the mining area cannot be restored at all.
To put it another way, the new parish cannot tolerate the ratmen who believe in evil gods to reproduce here. This is a time bomb that will explode at any time.
Nick said: "We report the situation to the archbishop to obtain the necessary supplies. What are you going to do with these two ratmen? Why don't you kill them directly?"
He was a little puzzled by his companions' behavior of capturing prisoners. According to him, this kind of creature with infectious toxins is best killed on the spot.
"We have to test the rats' tolerance. These things are not included in the church's data. We don't know what the difference is between them and other flesh and blood creatures. If they are not afraid of the poisonous smoke produced by the burning of red phosphorus, we have to find another way."
Crown explained, he thought for a while, and then said:
"When reporting to the archbishop, ask him to send more senior troops. These rats may have other entrances and exits."
The rats have high intelligence and simple social structures. They cannot be treated as wild beasts.
It is not difficult for them to dig out several secret passages to make entrances.
If they can't accomplish their goal in one go, they will have to be on guard against these evil ratmen every day in the future.
Nick nodded and said, "I know, things have been dealt with almost, I will go back tomorrow, and the airship will come here tomorrow.
You said that Del and the others will come at the end of the month, do you have any instructions?"
"It's the end of the month."
Crown sighed and continued, "No special instructions, inform Del and the others to arrange the new mansion, and let the butler build an arsenal and a blacksmith shop."
The new parish did not form its own blacksmith team, and the soldiers' equipment was purchased from him, which was considered a business for him.
Of course, the price of his shipment should also be preferential, but this is also due.
After the mining area resumes production, he will leave here and preside over the daily work of the blacksmith shop. He has notified Del to recruit a group of blacksmiths and arsenal staff.
That night, Crown found some red phosphorus, put the two ratmen in a sealed space, and conducted a live experiment.
At first, the ratmen coughed violently, and after about twenty minutes of tossing, there was no movement in the space.
After testing, it was found that these ratmen were also unable to tolerate poisonous smoke, but their resistance to poisonous smoke was much greater than that of ordinary creatures, so more red phosphorus was needed.
. . . .
Three days later, in the morning, the mining castle welcomed a large force transporting supplies.
Clown stood at the door to greet him, and Nick came up and said:
"The archbishop took our intelligence very seriously and sent another 200 second-level extraordinary troops to assist us.
Let me introduce you to this, the commander of this reinforcement force, His Excellency Tula Baiyang."
Tula was of medium height and thin, with golden hair, wheat-colored skin, and a face as sharp as a knife and an axe. There was a narrow scar on his right eyebrow bone. He was the new bishop of the Daniel faction.
He bowed slightly and greeted: "Your Excellency Clown, seriously speaking, I met you once a long time ago."
He had an extraordinary memory and could remember everything he saw. As long as he met someone once, he could remember the other person's face clearly.
Clown returned the salute and asked with a smile, "When did you meet me?"
He only remembered that he had met him at the bishops' meeting. With his recognition, he would have remembered him if he had met him.
"About a year ago, I had the honor to see you practice a strange sword technique at the Holy Grail of Flame at 36 Rose Street."
Tula said with a smile. At that time, he still sneered at that kind of sword technique. He didn't expect that the person who practiced the sword technique would become a bishop before him.
Clown suddenly realized that the sword technique the other party was talking about was the Blade Storm, but this sword technique was not very useful in a battle of the same level, and the other party would not take it seriously.
Nick had explained the situation of the ratmen to the reinforcements on the way here. After a few greetings, they set off directly to the mine.
The three of them led a troop each, carrying a large amount of flammable materials, stockpiled in the mine, and placed a large number of timed ignition equipment in each mine.
At the same time, a large number of ventilation equipment were used to directly transport fresh air to the bottom of the mine to ensure the long-term burning of white phosphorus.
The stonemasons also built a stone wall more than three meters thick at the entrance of the cave, leaving only a hole as big as a human head, and then blocked it when they could see thick smoke.
They were not afraid that the red phosphorus would be taken away by the ratmen because they had prepared enough.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, a large amount of red phosphorus was piled up in the five mines.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the timing devices ignited the red phosphorus. Only ten minutes later, the thick smoke had reached the ground.
Dozens of flying wonders patrolled the nearby mountains, and several elite troops were scattered in the mountains to ensure that they could find the secret passages dug by the ratmen as soon as possible to snipe the enemy.
As long as they saw where the thick smoke was rising, they could determine whether there were any passages and how many there were.
Klauen released Fukin. The crow flew faster than the flying wonder and was more intelligent.
Ten minutes later, Fukin flew back and reported the situation to his master.
A total of two passages were found in the mountains, both of which were quite hidden, and one passage was relatively close to him.
Clown ordered: "Watt, you guys keep an eye on it first. I asked Fukin to stay here and report to me immediately if there is any situation."
The stone wall at the entrance of the cave is more than three meters thick. Even if a ratman ran to the ground, he would have inhaled the thick smoke for a long time and would probably not have the strength to dig the stone wall.
After giving instructions, Clown quickly ran to the target area.
With his current physical fitness, he ran at full speed at the speed of a cheetah, and in less than ten minutes, he reached the destination.
Tula led a troop at the scene and was trying hard to kill the fleeing ratman.
