Chapter 532: The power of gems, the chaotic battle with the Balrog
This time the reaction was much more intense.
The second level frost gem contains much more frost magic elements than the first level.
The blue-white elemental energy is like a cloud of smoke.
bloomed one after another.
They absorb heat and try to lower the surrounding temperature.
However, the Balrog has a huge body.
The huge fire element and frost element were stuck together and eventually disappeared.
The temperature in front of Zong Shen also suddenly dropped a bit.
But it soon recovered.
This proves that the frost magic element can indeed cool down.
It’s just that the elemental strength of the gem is not enough.
This time, six lines of damage appeared, representing the collision of the frost magic elements contained in the six fragments.
【-494】
【-516】
【-367】
【-272】
【-632】
【-571】
These damage total 2852 points.
Equivalent to 285.2 points.
This is the damage after subtracting the magic resistance.
In addition, some of the gem fragments escaped when they were shattered.
But even so, this wave of damage is still considerable.
Combined with the damage of first-level gems.
Zong Shen came to a conclusion in his mind.
The energy contained in second-level gems is at least five times that of first-level gems.
This is a good sign.
Frost gems can indeed effectively cause damage to the Balrog Boss.
Then he was ready to try third- and fourth-level gems.
…
Just when Zong Shen was trying the gem strategy with high spirits.
His behavior was also noticed by the besieging lords nearby.
They were already too far apart, so they couldn't see clearly what Zong Shen threw.
He can only be seen wielding a mace.
After each swing, several blue and white marks can be exploded on the Balrog's body.
These traces will disappear quickly but are still noticeable.
From their perspective, it looked like the mace itself had some magical attack attached to it.
It doesn't matter if they see clearly.
Among the lords in the whole domain, only someone from his sect dared to play like this.
If there wasn't a mine at home, who would be willing to use magic gems like this?
Zong Shen's family background and wealth have long been eighteen blocks ahead of other lords.
Not even the reborn Chen Rui or Ou Huang's stinky brother Zong Ze can compare with him.
After some testing.
Zong Shen came to a clear conclusion about the damage ability of frost gems.
The third level is five times the damage of the second level, and the fourth level is five times the damage of the third level.
As for the fifth-level frost magic gem Zong Shen, it was not used for experiments.
The reason is simple, he didn't want to give it up.
Level 5 gems are equivalent to legendary gems.
In the test just now, third-level gems were able to cause about 15,000 points of damage.
Equivalent to one thousand five hundred points.
At the same time, it can maintain a brief cooling for about twenty seconds.
Suppress the body temperature of the Balrog in front of Zong Shen.
As for the fourth-level gem, it can cause more than 70,000 points of damage.
Equivalent to more than 7,000 points.
However, the higher the level of the gem, the more serious the problem of magic elements escaping.
And the higher the level of gems, the smaller the quantity.
According to this trend, a fifth-level gem can casually inflict nearly 400,000 damage to Balrog.
The Balrog Boss only has a total of five million health points.
The health value of 30% in the calm state is only 1.5 million points.
One level 5 can kill 7.5% of the Balrog's health.
He brought 10 level 5 frost magic gems and 2 level 6 frost magic gems.
Even if you calculate, you can kill the Balrog instantly.
His eyes lit up when he thought of this.
As the saying goes, add brine and tofu, and one thing will be reduced.
The phase properties of elements are indeed very important!
However, he was not prepared to use the high-level frost gem immediately.
Because he doesn’t have many inventory of fourth-, fifth- and sixth-order gems.
The first 30% of the HP of the Balrog Boss is easier to kill, and you can completely maintain the collective output for killing.
This is supplemented by level one to level three gem damage.
Now that the threshold for attack is very low, there is no need to use your trump card immediately.
When the Balrog's blood volume decreases and his attack intention increases, it becomes more and more difficult to deal with.
He is using those high-level frost magic gems.
And with the high-level frost magic gems, it is safe to grab the last blow.
When the Balrog still had 7% of its health remaining, Zong Shen only needed to consume a fifth-level frost magic gem to kill it instantly.
Zong Shen felt happy when he thought of this.
It is not ruled out that other lords have also discovered similar methods of elemental nature.
But this is impossible to replicate.
After all, Zong Shen's gem strategy requires real consumption of gems.
Even if other lords had some adventures, it would be impossible for them to possess so many high-level frost gems.
Even developing gem mines will not work.
Even in the gem mine, you can't quickly obtain a large number of high-level gems of a single type.
Production takes time.
Zong Shen still has some confidence.
But frost gems are just an idea.
In fact, those water or frost magic props or powerful energy bodies also have similar effects.
After testing the gem strategy, Zong Shen was in a very happy mood.
More sexy operations appeared one after another in his mind.
"Hey hey hey..."
Zong Shen stood there and giggled.
In his heart, even the Balrog in front of him became cute.
…
In the rear, Colby had just let his wolf cavalry throw the last round of spears.
He looked at Zong Shen doubtfully, not understanding what he was doing.
The four masters also completed the fourth level summoning.
Holy Spirit Warriors, Fire Spirit Warriors, and Wind Spirit Assassins all launched attacks in various ways near Zong Shen's land.
A boulder of hellfire burning with green flames fell from the sky and landed on the Balrog's shoulder.
Then, the boulder turned into a five-meter-tall hellfire giant.
It stood on Balrog's shoulder, hammering Balrog's head with its fist as big as a sandbag.
This scene looks shocking from an outsider's perspective.
The lords who participated in the war naturally saw such a rough situation in their eyes.
But no one cares about that right now.
At most, I shout six six six in my heart a few times.
Every lord is struggling to lead his warriors to attack the Balrog.
And more lords are arriving every minute.
As time goes by, the number of lords will increase.
It didn't reach its peak until 6 hours later.
So this time the Fire Demon Boss challenge will be a protracted battle.
Zong Shen also put away his thoughts of a quick victory.
Because it’s not necessary!
The heat wave challenge will last for 3 days.
Each Balrog only exists for 24 hours.
The first Balrog appeared 5 minutes after the challenge started.
In other words, there will be a total of 3 Balrog Bosses during the challenge.
The last Balrog Boss can only exist for 23 hours and 55 minutes.
The frost gem strategy is his confidence.
The soldiers under his command are not vegetarians either.
It is very easy to get three to five million points from the three-headed Balrog Boss.
It was equivalent to him masturbating an entire Balrog.
Good steel is used on the blade. Let's wait until Balrog's health drops below 70%.
After figuring all this out, Zong Shen began to continue using first- and second-level gems.
Occasionally, a third-level gem will be used.
As for gems of level 4 and above, they will not be used for the time being.
The melee soldiers in the rear were also confused.
They can only stay dispersed in place to protect the safe output of shooters and wizards.
About ten minutes later.
The wizards exhausted the magic springs they carried.
They all sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated to recover.
The archers were okay, Vereesa, Luna, and Doris all carried a supply of arrows with them.
The territory has a lot of consumables like this in reserve.
Not to mention anything else, the arrows redeemed during the Crypt Challenge period have not been used up.
Later, the dwarf uncle made many whiteboards and sophisticated arrows and crossbow bolts.
There are almost hundreds of groups in this part.
Each group is the number of one quiver, exactly 30 quivers.
It's enough for the shooters to spend another good time.
If you really don’t have enough, you can go to the [market] to purchase it.
Even an apprentice blacksmith can make whiteboard arrows.
As long as the arrows can be forged.
The arrow shaft and the nock are both assembly parts.
Only arrows require forging crafting.
Materials are also easy to obtain.
Arrow shafts can be made of bamboo, poplar, birch, or shrubs.
The wood collected in most areas can meet the manufacturing requirements of arrow shafts.
Then take the feathers of birds as the tail of the arrow.
Plays the role of stabilizing arrows.
It is even simpler for lords who have mastered the corresponding production skills or drawings.
So it is very easy to buy whiteboard arrows.
The price is also very cheap.
The lords who sell arrows and crossbows sell hundreds of sets at a time.
If you really don’t have enough, then buy it.
Anyway, if someone has a lot of money, all the things that can be solved with money are small things!
In the past ten minutes, the crossbow archers in the territory had consumed almost four to five thousand arrows, and Vereesa and the others added a batch.
The current blood volume of the Balrog Boss is [43679125000000].
It is now twelve thirty-six at noon.
Zong Shen and the others officially entered the battle at almost 12:14, which was 9 minutes after the Balrog spawned.
And now, another 22 minutes have passed.
The HP of the Balrog Boss was reduced by more than 600,000, exceeding 10%.
The number of surrounding lords reached more than 400.
The first batch of lords to arrive, including Zong Shen, all entered a period of weakness.
This is also the period when the masters begin to meditate to recover and the arrows are consumed for replenishment.
The most rapid attack period of ten minutes has passed.
Fortunately, subsequent lords are still coming in a steady stream.
The lords and warriors brought the total number of people present to more than 13,000.
Magic arrows and magic bullets fell on the Balrog like raindrops.
Various magical elements exploded on Balrog's body.
Balls of fiery red smoke filled the air.
It's like starting a grand fireworks.
Even if the sky is clear now, it is still gorgeous.
More than 10,000 people each inflicted an average of a dozen points of damage, which amounted to more than 100,000 or 200,000 damage.
But in fact it's not that exaggerated.
The endurance of the battle is one thing.
The influence of temperature is another issue.
The warriors would be tired and thirsty in the heat.
After ten minutes of high-intensity output, you basically have to take a break.
These are all variables that affect the final attack efficiency.
When another half hour passed.
The total number of lords reached more than six hundred.
At this time, the lords' replenishment speed began to slow down.
Those who can come quickly have basically arrived.
The rest are relatively far away.
Just like the [Legion of Guides] under Zong Shen.
Only about twenty people have come so far.
These people were all recruited later, and their territories were twenty or thirty kilometers around the place where the Balrog descended.
After he issued a general mobilization order in the morning.
Thirteen people actually chose to quit his army.
The number of the corps now stands at 106.
It stands to reason that these people should all come.
As for Jiang Yi and the others, it would take more than an hour to two hours to get here, whether they rode horses or took a carriage.
Although the surroundings of the Balrog Boss are in chaos.
But the most powerful attack was from Zong Shen's place.
Zong Shen did not deliberately hide information.
There is really no need to hide in this area.
Therefore, those legion members came quickly.
They wanted to say hello, but were warned by Luna and Vereesa.
They don't know what legion members are.
As for Zong Shen himself, he was still hitting the gem with a mace next to Balrog.
Although he didn't carry too many gems, he still carried a lot for people below the fourth level.
He carried a total of 500 first-level frost magic gems, 250 second-level frost magic gems, and 100 third-level frost magic gems.
These are based on total numbers.
Zong Shen brought about 15% of the total number of each level.
He planned to consume all these low-level frost magic gems.
Just leave the frost gems of level 4 and above for the finale.
Each time the gem breaks and collides, the temperature can be temporarily lowered.
It is precisely because of this that Zong Shen can stay by Yan Mo's side for a long time.
Among the lords who were watching, some could not restrain their loneliness and wanted to try to get closer.
Basically, they were forced to retreat due to the high heat environment.
There were also a few unlucky ones who accidentally encountered lava.
If it touches a little, it will burst into flames.
The most unlucky one accidentally slipped and fell into the lava pit while moving forward.
After floating for a few rounds, it was completely swallowed up by the lava.
Because a foreign object entered, the magma pit exploded slightly.
A huge magma bubble burst out.
A large ball of black ash impurities and knuckle-sized magma exploded.
Scattered everywhere like a goddess scattering flowers.
The average lord still has three to four hundred health points.
These health points only allowed him to hold on for a few breaths.
If Zong Shen falls down and doesn't use some means, the end will not be any better than that unlucky one.
In addition, when more lords gathered at the scene.
Small fights also occurred.
These lords are basically lords from nearby circles.
Some have grudges.
After meeting on such an occasion, there would inevitably be a fight.
Fortunately, most lords are relatively restrained.
All in all, the appearance of the Balrog Boss this time is also a rare opportunity for regional lords to gather.
All the hustle and bustle added a touch of rare intimacy.
The Lords are all from Earth.
They once shared a common home, living habits and civilization system.
Now that we have arrived in the Endless Continent, everyone is considered a fellow villager.
Whether they get along or not is another matter, but that innate sense of intimacy is definitely real.
Perhaps it is not accurate to describe it as friendly, it can only be described as lively.
Yes, it’s a lively atmosphere.
This kind of atmosphere is a feeling that the indigenous people and the territorial people cannot give the lord.
Zong Shen insisted on using frost magic gems one by one as a means of attack.
Five hundred first-level gems plus two hundred and fifty second-level gems total 750.
It will take some effort to use up all these gems.
The area where Zong Shen stood was constantly affected by the magic power of the frost element, and the temperature also changed significantly, and even that area of the Balrog's body was affected.
The bright red lines composed of flame elements began to solidify.
The obsidian-like body also showed signs of being frozen.
Low-level frost gems may not be able to cause much damage to it.
But Zong Shen couldn't stand the large number used.
Hundreds of first- and second-order frost gems were thrown upward.
The cumulative amount of frost elemental magic released is also a very huge number.
These frost elemental magic powers offset and consume the fire element contained in the Balrog itself.
After Zong Shen consumed these gems.
It caused almost 1.04 million damage to Balrog.
Plus the output of other surrounding lords.
The Balrog's HP was reduced to less than 70%.
At this time Zong Shen also chose to retreat.
Relying on the gem tactics and the output of his soldiers, he got 120,000 to 30,000 points in this wave.
Now Balrog is a little restless.
It is in a relatively calm state, and its attack intentions are higher than before.
From time to time, hot magma will be spread in a certain direction.
The magma fell like raindrops.
Every time, the leader in that direction can be stunned.
The attack method displayed by the Balrog is very simple, but it is also very effective.
It was enough to cause some minor trouble to the lords who besieged it.
Zong Shen had no doubt that as its HP decreased, it entered a state of anger or even rage.
More and more lethal methods will definitely be used.
The lords were originally expected to reduce its health to below 70%, which would take at least three or four hours.
But with Zong Shen's intervention and the generous consumption of frost gems.
This time was shortened to one and a half hours.
Wait until Zong Shen returns to his own soldiers.
Jiang Yi also arrived here with fifty or sixty legion members.
Currently, there are more than 80 members of the [Guide Corps] who have arrived at the scene.
After not seeing each other for many days, Jiang Yi looked even more heroic.
She was wearing a light blue light armor.
Judging from the inscriptions and emblems on the chest, the armor is at least rare.
As for weapons, she still uses two long swords.
The scene of the Balrog Boss was noisy.
At least a thousand lords and twenty to thirty thousand warriors gathered.
Everyone had the same goal, and all kinds of arrows and magic bullets were directed at Balrog.
The lords are not silent with each other either.
From time to time fights break out.
Only Zong Shen's side was relatively peaceful.
Not to mention the combat power of his own men, which cannot be underestimated.
In addition, the members of the [Legion of Guides] also consciously join forces.
As long as those lords didn't have Watt in their heads, they wouldn't choose to provoke them.
