Chapter 217: News about the legion, rocket-like upgrade

Any crypt monster that enters within a few hundred meters of Zong Shen's territory will be attacked by the arrow tower.

Both the elemental arrow tower and the ancient guardian have the ability to lock on attacks from a long distance.

Even a group of crypt monsters will have difficulty breaking through this distance, because the patrolling warriors will quickly arrive and cooperate with the defensive buildings to quickly strangle the monster group.

The distance of several hundred meters around the territory seems to be the boundary between life and death, which is in sharp contrast to the swarms of cave monsters walking around in the outside world.

Mariel was riding on Bajie's neck, and she was a little scared at first, but after she rode Bajie for a certain distance, she got used to it. After being tamed, Bajie treated his own people like a docile big pig. Behind the fierce appearance seems to be a simple and honest heart.

But when facing enemies, it will turn into a terrifying ferocious beast, letting those enemies know that the Bloodtusk Wild Boar is a serious ferocious beast!

Except for Mariel, no one else is carrying a mount and will fight on foot throughout the whole process.

The distance from the territory to Jiang Yi's territory is about less than 20 kilometers. It takes about three or four hours to get there while hunting cave monsters. If you are riding a horse, it only takes thirty or forty minutes to travel at a constant speed, and it only takes just thirty or forty minutes to travel quickly. It can be reached in twenty or thirty minutes.

However, the main purpose of Zong Shen's trip this time was to hunt underground monsters, and the visit to Jiang Yi's territory was just a side trip. Otherwise, if he was just on the road, he might as well just pilot the loader mecha.

One kilometer away from the territory, the cave monsters wandering around began to gradually become denser.

As for why Zong Shen planned to visit Jiang Yi's territory, the reason was because Jiang Yi left a private message for him yesterday.

Jiang Yi told him that there was a lord nearby who was preparing to form a legion.

[Legion] is a cooperative force between lords. The condition for invitation is that there are other lords’ territories in the territory. In other words, the higher the level of the territory and the more other lords there are in the territory, the easier it is to establish it. Legion.

In addition, after joining a legion, there will be some very convenient cooperation functions, so legion members can support each other.

It has a certain action speed bonus, and can also transfer resources to each other, but there is a certain daily limit, and it can also build some legion-specific buildings.

Legions also have levels. They need to reach a specified number of people, and legion members must donate a specified amount of resources to be upgraded. Legion members will also receive a certain combat bonus when they fight together, and this bonus will increase as the legion level increases.

In short, the [Legion] function is a platform for cooperation between lords within the rules provided by the system. As time goes by, and strong lords in each region rise, different [Legion] forces will eventually appear.

With powerful lords as the core, and [Legion] as the organizational structure and rule constraints, each lord group is formed, relying on the strong to stay in a group for warmth and increase the probability of survival. At the same time, the emergence of the group can curb the murderous behavior among the lords.

A few lords quickly expanded their power by killing other lords and seizing their wealth.

However, once the [Legion] function becomes popular, this kind of single-player fighting will be greatly reduced, and at the same time, many conflicts will be suppressed under the constraints of legion rules.

Therefore, the function setting of [Legion] is also a guide for the lord system. The mysterious lord system does not seem to be playing some kind of game, but is deliberately cultivating and tempering the lords, and seems to be preparing to create some in this continent. A new force is coming.

Zong Shen was thinking as he moved forward with the soldiers. When he thought about this, he inexplicably remembered the blood-burning demon that invaded more than 10,000 years ago.

He also thought of the huge claws that covered the sky and the endless crypt monsters behind the crypt portal.

He vaguely grasped a certain context, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

"I want to know why we ended up in this mysterious world."

"What do those extra-dimensional monsters have to do with this world?"

Zong Shen decided to ask questions to the strategy module to see if he could get an answer.

Unexpectedly, this time after the question was raised, the strategy module paused for several seconds before golden subtitles began to appear.

(Sometimes knowing the answer is not important. Working hard to complete the process is the most important. Please go all out to create a territory that belongs to the strongest. No matter what challenges they face, the strong will still stand at the top. Only by surviving and becoming the strongest can you be qualified to see the answer to this question)

This time the answer to the guide prompt was a bit serious, and there was no positive explanation of Zong Shen's question.

This problem seems to involve some kind of essential secret. Even the guide is unwilling to tell Zong Shen now. After all, the strength is not up to the level of solving the problem. Even if he knows the problem, it will not help. On the contrary, it will affect the normal development progress.

Zong Shen withdrew his thoughts. Although he was still a little curious, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

He led the team to kill a group of hundreds of cave monsters blocking the way ahead.

Without the wolf rider to clear the way, the pace of the battle has slowed down a lot. Zong Shen took out the [Cruel Butcher's Knife], which was originally the weapon of the Stitch Monster Pato. The lethality was pretty good, and the strength requirement reached 38 points. Now Zong Shen It's ready to be used at will.

He directly used the butcher's knife as a one-handed weapon and held it in his right hand.

As for his left hand, he took out the [Killing Broad-Blade Sword]. With his current strength attribute of up to 67 points, even dual-wielding the sword is no problem.

To deal with these crypt monsters, you don't need rare or even legendary weapons. Two excellent swords are enough.

Zong Shen dual-wielded swords and rushed to the front line with Luna like a reckless man.

The two swords in his hands slashed violently, killing a level 3 zombie monster with one swing. He turned around and slashed with another slash to cut a fanged worm that had just emerged from the ground into two halves. Green pus spilled onto the ground along with large globs of slimy guts.

The four dragon-turned-gun-and-shield warriors behind him raised their heavy shields and spears and advanced step by step, stabbing with their spears from time to time to attack the cave monsters.

The two dragonborn ranger sisters in the back row had new bows and arrows, which greatly improved their output ability. The arrows flew away like raindrops, so fast that they could not be tracked by the naked eye.

Not to mention several mages, all of them possess rare weapons and have powerful fighting abilities.

Their target is in the sky. Those flying gargoyles and various magics are flying in the air, just like fireworks set off in the daytime. The team of more than a dozen people is like a drill, drilling hard into the ground. Group of cave monsters.

Mariel, who was riding on Bajie's back, was dumbfounded. She bravely raised the [Hunting Crossbow] and tried to attack. However, when she saw Zong Shen violently slashing open the body of a zombie with a knife, she still felt a wave of pain. Disgusted, he quickly lowered his head and covered his mouth.

Under Zong Shen's brutal fighting style, the group of crypt monsters were wiped out in five or six minutes, and five or six gargoyles were also eliminated.

A lv10 ordinary monster has about 170 experience points. The crypt monster only has 30%, which is 50 experience points. After being reduced by 50% after being killed by teammates, there are only 25 points left for Mariel. Elite The same goes for level and captain level monsters.

This wave of battles yielded 337 points. Even after layers of cuts, it still provided Mariel with 3,686 experience points.

Although the experience of the crypt monsters is low, the gargoyles are captain-level monsters, and the fanged worms are also elite-level monsters.

All these together are quite impressive, and the efficiency of active hunting is also higher than that of squatting. You must know that it takes three minutes for a batch of monsters to be spawned in the crypt, and there are about 4 to 5 monsters in each batch.

For example, the group Zong Shen and the others just eliminated had more than a hundred monsters, which is the number of monsters that can be refreshed in one crypt in one hour. Therefore, if they take the initiative, the hunting efficiency and upgrade efficiency are still very impressive.

Previously, Zong Shen would only find time to go out and fight for a few hours at night, spending most of his time and energy on exploration. If he gave up exploration and went all out to hunt, his points would probably be doubled or tripled.

However, thanks to the exploration of the mines, his strength was able to increase rapidly, and he also gained a large amount of resources and equipment.

After the strength is improved, the crypt monsters can be killed more quickly. This is a mutually reinforcing factor.

Even now, Zong Shen and Favid still benefit greatly from fighting. Every monster they kill personally can gain charging points and extraction value.

After killing this group of monsters, Zong Shen led everyone to quickly bypass the plague zone and continue to move toward the southeast.

Especially Mariel in the team. She has the lowest attributes and the weakest constitution. She is also the most susceptible to disease effects in the team. She needs to be particularly careful to avoid contact with the plague zone.

Mariel was directly upgraded from level 1 to level 5, becoming lv5 [experience value: 403/1220]. She was only 800 more experience points away from becoming lv6.

This upgrade speed is like riding a rocket, just like a bunch of large accounts and a small account that spawn monsters to upgrade.

Everyone continued to move forward. The density of monsters in the vicinity was average. There were almost no giant monster groups in the thousands. Most were small and medium-sized monster groups ranging from hundreds to two to three hundred.

This may be related to the killing intensity of nearby lords. In areas with stronger killing intensity, the density of corresponding crypt monsters will be lower.

For example, when Zong Shen went to the mines, he could see thousands of large monster groups passing through some vast and uninhabited ruins. If no one eliminated these monster groups, they would continue to expand like snowballs. In the past two days, I'm afraid there will be a large monster group of tens of thousands.

But Zong Shen is not worried, he has many trump cards.

To Zong Shen, these cave monsters are just rewards for moving one by one.
