Chapter 44: Attracting Monsters

The magic barrier that Ke Wen set up in the canyon was not very reliable. After all, his original intention was not to escape, but to delay some time.

Therefore, he did not pour much magic power into the several barriers.

At this moment, four of the six barriers have been broken, and the fifth barrier is also in danger, fluctuating violently.

In less than half a minute, the barrier suddenly shattered under the blows of many monsters, and the exploding magic elements tore dozens of monsters apart instantly.

However, instead of intimidating the fallen demons, such a situation made them cheer for victory.

Crossing over the corpses on the ground, hundreds of fallen demons raised their scimitars in their hands and rushed toward the last barrier.

Rushing closer, the monsters slashed their weapons at the barrier again.

A few dozen meters behind the barrier, Ke Wen stood in front of the team, looking coldly at the brainless monsters, and couldn't help but let out a disdainful 'hum'.

After calculating the durability of the barrier and feeling that it was about the same, Ke Wen immediately held the staff across his chest with both hands.

He chanted the spell attentively, and breezes began to wrap around the staff.

As the mantra was recited and the mana was poured to the limit, Ke Wen was able to maintain the magic and stretched the staff slightly to his side, making a gesture ready to wave.

At this moment, the last barrier finally cracked with a 'click' sound, and then completely shattered with a 'karala' sound.

The magic element exploded, tearing apart the row of monsters closest to the barrier. At the same time, the sight of the monsters further behind was blocked by the shock wave set off by the explosion.

This is the opportunity that Kewen has been waiting for.

The muscles in his arms were tense, and he swung the staff horizontally forward with force.

The next moment, the breeze wrapped around the staff suddenly aroused and instantly turned into a raging wind. After leaving the staff and landing on the ground, a tornado storm quickly formed.

With intense potential energy, the tornado quickly rushed towards the group of monsters, rapidly expanding in size while rolling up all kinds of sharp gravel.

Soon, the tornado completely rushed into the group of monsters.

Next,

After rushing into the group of monsters, the tornado seemed to be activated a second time, and its original diameter of more than three meters suddenly expanded again.

In a breath, it expanded to a diameter of about ten meters.

The raging tornado was irresistible, causing the monsters at the front to scream and be sucked in. Even monsters a little further away would be dragged by the airflow and unable to retreat.

Many monsters could only use their feet to plow furrows on the ground in horror, and in the end, they were also swallowed up by the moving and raging tornado.

After swallowing a large number of monsters, the power of the tornado became even more uncontrollable. The weapons of the monsters further increased the lethality of the tornado.

In this way, the ten-meter-diameter tornado covered almost half of the canyon passage and continued to wreak havoc all the way.

Coven's side.

Some black shadows fell from the sky, they were the corpses of monsters killed and thrown out by the tornado.

He raised his staff, swung it slightly upward, and knocked aside a monster corpse that hit his head. Then Coven ordered Flaviy behind him: "The whole team advances slowly!"

"yes!"

Faced with the situation of turning danger into safety and switching from defense to offense, Flaviy responded loudly and excitedly, and then raised his long bow high to convey the order: "Rogs——"

"Uh-huh——"

"Fire your bow and prepare an arrow! Destroy the monsters! Move forward, sir—"

"Uh-huh——"

They were tired of waiting for a long time, so after receiving the order, the dozens of Rogges standing in the front row immediately pulled their bow strings and fired the arrows.

Ahead, dozens of monsters that were thrown out by the tornado and were lucky enough to survive serious injuries instantly gave up their lives in the small wave of arrows. Their extraordinary power returned to the world and contributed 'upgrade experience' to the team.

Seeing this, Ke Wen took out the 'Necromancer Staff', and then without looking at the corpse beside him that he pushed away, he pointed the staff in a calm tone: "Stand up."

A faint blue glow appeared and disappeared instantly. The body of the Sinking Demon suddenly shook, and then slowly climbed up from the ground.

"stand up……"

Kewen moved his arm sideways and pointed the wand at the nearby corpses. With the output of mana, each monster was resurrected by him and turned into a puppet for him to control.

It wasn't until there were no more complete corpses around that Kewen held the 'Necromancer Staff' upside down and stepped forward.

Bang——

Behind them, the Rogs stepped forward in order, keeping up with Ke Wen's pace.

At this time, the huge tornado had raged for hundreds of meters. Due to the favorable location, it swallowed up most of the monsters chasing into the canyon.

Although the effect of killing enemies is not good, the effect of serious injuries is not weak. Along the way, a large number of monsters that cannot be seriously injured are left behind.

As the team moved forward again, arrows flew out from behind Ke Wen, accurately harvesting the seriously injured monsters.

Ke Wen also continued to resurrect the puppets. Those monsters with relatively complete corpses were controlled by him to stand up again, and gradually formed a front row shield wall.

At this time, the tornado in front finally began to lose its power, and quickly dissipated after a few breaths, spitting out a large number of monster corpses and weapon rubble.

The next battle is extremely easy.

The puppet shield wall in the front row has taken shape, providing security for the Rogs. Therefore, the Rogs only need to maintain their formation, keep advancing, and easily shoot the remaining monsters.

Not long after, the team advanced to the exit of the canyon again, but there were not many monsters left, with only four Sinking Demon Wizards and dozens of ordinary guards remaining.

A wave of arrows covered them and the fallen demons instantly turned into hedgehogs and fell to the ground.

Ke Wen looked around at both sides of the canyon exit. After seeing no more monsters, he gave the order: "Clean up the battlefield."

"yes!"

Flavi answered again, then turned around to assign tasks.

It took a lot of time to clean up the battlefield this time, because the battle line was too long, and Rogge needed to return to the canyon to collect the loot.

Ke Wen didn't care about this. He simply used the transformation technique to create a chair on the spot, sat on it and began to practice the 'identification technique' magic.

The magic equipment sent by Roger from time to time was slowly identified. After the battlefield was cleared, the proficiency in identifying magic was greatly improved.

After simple repairs, the team continued to delve deeper into the 'Black Wasteland' area.

This map is worthy of being called a wasteland. Most of the terrain is a swamp area. It was originally deserted and there are no pastures, farms and other buildings in the "dark forest".

Due to the terrain, the team's advancement speed became slow, and many places had to make a long detour.

However, there are a lot of monsters in this map. During the two hours that the team moved forward, although they did not encounter a large gathering of monsters, there were endless monsters in the team mode.

Almost every few minutes, a small group of monsters would rush towards the team. Although it could not cause any harm to the team, it made everyone have to stay alert at all times.

No one among Rogge showed signs of fatigue yet, but Kewen knew that it would not be good to continue like this, so after informing Flaviy, he quickly transformed into a magpie and soared into the sky.

After hovering in the nearby area for a while, Ke Wen returned to the team, then raised his finger and pointed in a direction and said: "Next, head over there. There is a wilderness about two thousand meters away. Let's go there to repair it."

"Okay sir." After Flavi responded, he turned around again to pass on the instructions.

More than half an hour later, the team arrived at the place where Coven said, and then took turns to be vigilant and start repairing.

Ke Wen sat on a flat stone, eating and looking into the distance of the wilderness.

After eating for a while, he called Flaviy, pointed to the distance and asked: "I didn't check carefully before, do you know what is shadowy over there?"

Flavi turned his head to look after hearing this, but his eyesight was not as good as Coven's, so he didn't see clearly what was in the distance.

Therefore, Flavi shook his head in embarrassment and responded: "Sorry sir, I can't see that far, and I have never been to this area, so I don't understand your question."

Ke Wen nodded: "It's okay."

Seeing this, Flavi thought for a while and suggested: "Why not, after the team is repaired, let's set off in that direction. Anyway, this time we came out just to make everyone stronger, so it doesn't matter which direction we clean up the monsters. "

"That's okay." Ke Wen responded, then withdrew his curious gaze and continued to eat.

The team repaired in place for nearly two hours, and then began to move deeper into the wilderness.

Somewhat strangely, the number of monsters in this wilderness has become smaller, and they no longer appear as frequently as they did in the swamp area before.

Ke Wen had some guesses in his mind. Sure enough, after the team eliminated sporadic monsters and advanced about a kilometer, a huge gathering place of monsters appeared within Ke Wen's field of vision.

After Kewen stopped the team and asked everyone to be on alert, he once again turned into a magpie and soared into the sky.

Soon after crossing a kilometer distance, Ke Wen was hovering in the air and looking down.

This monster camp is the largest that Coven has ever seen.

The number of monsters among them is almost half of the city of Tristram.

Moreover, the number of monsters below is not accumulated by the zombies. On the contrary, there are less than a hundred zombie monsters.

Among the thousands of monsters, the number of fallen demons accounted for most of them. After Kewen carefully observed, he found that even the number of fallen demon wizards exceeded a hundred.

Among other types of monsters, there are about three hundred corrupted archers, thousands of skeletal undead creatures, and more than a hundred huge corrupted beasts.

Finally, there was a monster that Ke Wen had never seen before. It looked like a sheep-like orc, walking upright and holding a long-handled metal ax in both hands.

After roughly observing the situation of the monsters, Ke Wen began to observe the terrain again, looking for a suitable location to start the battle.

This monster gathering place was formed from a piece of building ruins. Judging from the appearance of those stone ruins, this place was obviously a noble castle-type building a long time ago.

Today, those buildings are severely dilapidated, and most of them only have stone foundations left. There are very few buildings that can still stand on the ground.

Apart from a few half-broken stone houses, there was only one stone tower with a missing roof.

Kewen hovered in the air for a long time, observing all the terrain and making plans, but he was unable to achieve the best results he expected.

Because this environment is too vast, it cannot provide the team with the most perfect offensive position. No matter which direction they attack, they will be surrounded by a wave of monsters.

This puts a lot of pressure on the three hundred Rogges in the team, and if the battle line is too wide, Ke Wen can no longer guarantee the safety of everyone.

It seems that there is only one way to win the next war.

If the terrain is unfavorable, create a favorable terrain yourself!

Thinking of this, Kewen immediately ended his observation, flapped his wings to turn his body, and returned to the direction of the team.

Not long after, Ke Wen fell from the sky and recovered his body. Without waiting for Flavi to ask, he issued an order: "Lead everyone to retreat and withdraw one kilometer away."

Flavi was stunned for a moment, but seeing Ke Wen's serious look, she immediately stopped asking questions and turned around to direct the team.

Under the command of Flavi, the Rogges increased their speed and trotted back to the way they came. After running about a kilometer, they stopped at Coven's greeting.

After looking around the open environment, Kewen decided to set up defenses here, and then ordered everyone: "Keep the formation, and wait for me to build a defense line."

The Rogs obeyed the orders perfectly and stopped moving.

Seeing this, Ke Wen retreated some distance, then held the staff in both hands and stood it in front of him, and began to recite the incantation with a serious face.

Rumble——

The earth trembled, and huge gaps appeared from the ground, cracking and spreading.

Not long after, four stone walls gradually rose up from the huge cracks, and finally closed together, forming a closed space.

After casting the spell, Ke Wen immediately turned his head to look at the monster tribe. He was relieved when no monster was found.

It seems that the audio and video effects caused by casting a spell at this distance will not be noticed by the monster camp.

In this way, Kewen can continue to cast spells with confidence.

So, he grasped the staff tightly again, released the 'Transformation Technique' one after another, and began to arrange the geographical environment.

After more than twenty minutes, Ke Wen finally stopped, looked at the results, and showed a satisfied look.

A square fortress with a height of thirty meters was completed.

The fortress only has shooting windows facing the monster tribe, and many of the windows are located at a height of twenty meters above the fortress.

The twenty-meter area below is entirely made of stone walls, nearly five meters thick, and there is no possibility of being destroyed by monsters.

Although this fortress limits Rogge's field of vision, it can ensure their safety. As long as they hide in the fortress and shoot through the shooting window, they are not afraid of damage from the long-range monsters among the monsters.

This also saves Ke Wen from having to worry about protecting the safety of Rogge, and can free up his energy to release offensive magic.

Next, Kewen continued to arrange the venue.

With the fortress as the center, two stone walls extend from both sides. The zigzag two-meter-high stone wall forms a gourd-shaped canyon terrain in front of the fortress.

This 'pseudo canyon' extends about three hundred meters, and the closer it gets to the monster tribe, the wider the opening becomes.

After that, Ke Wen cast a spell on the ground, turning the dirt floor in the canyon into a muddy swamp, leaving only a meter-wide channel in the center.

At this point, the geographical environment is simply created.

Returning to the fortress, Coven called all Rogge to enter the fortress. Everyone obeyed the order and entered the interior of the fortress through the temporary passage made by Coven.

Climbing up the tower-like stairs, there are sixty people left on each of the five floors of space twenty meters above the ground.

Kewen took the trouble to remind Rogge that they must pay attention to safety when attacking. If they find that they are in danger of being attacked, they should immediately hide behind the wall next to the shooting window.

After Chun Chun's instructions, Ke Wen told Flavi: "Next, I will lure the monster. Once the monster enters the shooting range, you will immediately command the team to launch a free attack."

"I took note of it, sir!" Flaviy responded solemnly.

Looking at the other party's solemn look, Ke Wen chuckled and patted Flavi's arm, comforting him: "Don't be too nervous. I have the right time, right place, right people, so it's just a simple battle."

Flavi understood the last sentence, but he didn't understand the previous part, so he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what are the right time, the right place, and the right people?"

"All the favorable factors are on our side." Ke Wen explained, then put his hand into his pocket and took out a space bag.

Passing the space bag to Flavi, Coven said: "This contains a magic potion to relieve muscle fatigue. You will distribute the potion after I leave."

"Okay sir." Flavi quickly reached out and took the space bag.

Seeing this, Ke Wen nodded to the other party, and then jumped down from the center of the spiral staircase.

With a bang, he bent his knees and landed softly. Kewen raised his head, waved his hand to Flaviy, who was nervously looking down, and then walked out of the fortress through a temporary passage.

After restoring the temporary passage to a thick stone wall, Kewen turned into a magpie and flew towards the monster camp.

It didn't take long for them to reach the sky above the tribe. After hovering and observing for a while, they turned around and quickly dived downwards.

Approaching the ground, the monsters finally heard the sound of breaking through the sky above their heads, and they all looked up into the sky. In this case, Kewen suddenly returned to human form.

With his feet touching the ground, he looked down at the stunned Demonic Sorcerer in front of him, and suddenly grinned.

Raising his right hand upward, the magic of 'Arcane Shock' suddenly burst out.

This time he no longer controls the angle of the magic burst, but makes the magic effect fully open.

Bang——

The air was shaken by arcane magic and made a dull sound. With Kewen as the center, the Sinking Demons within ten meters screamed in pain and flew out.

Silent casting and wandless casting greatly weakened the power of this magic, but this was exactly Coven's original intention.

Because once the Sinking Demon Wizard is killed, it will cause the surrounding Sinking Demon Wizard to collapse and flee. Therefore, Ke Wen deliberately controlled the damage of the magic and only injured but not killed the Sinking Demon Wizard.

No, the Sinking Demonic Wizard did not die after he fell to the ground. Instead, he screamed in pain and got up. Then he stared at Ke Wen, opened his mouth and screamed loudly.

The surrounding Sinking Demons received the command and immediately raised their weapons and charged towards Ke Wen.

In response, Kewen just kept his smile unchanged, turned around to find the next Sinking Demon Wizard, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When he reappeared, he had already teleported in front of another Sinking Demon Wizard.

Bang——

The same arcane shock magic burst out, and another scream of pain sounded.

In this way, Kewen relied on teleportation magic and kept flashing throughout the camp, provoking one fallen demon wizard after another.

After he successfully attracted the hatred of all the fallen demons to him, he teleported further away, got into the pile of other types of monsters, and launched a 'taunting' attack on the elites or leader monsters.

A few minutes later, Ke Wen succeeded in turning the entire monster tribe upside down, and the angry shouts of the monsters were everywhere.

All the monsters seemed to have turned into headless flies, and they could only chase behind Ke Wen's teleporting figure, chasing this way and then that way.

Seeing that he was almost 'taunted', Ke Wen began to teleport away to the outside of the tribe, and continued to use magic that was not very harmful, but very insulting, to provoke him along the way.

When Ke Wen successfully teleported out of the tribe's periphery, he turned around and saw that the entire tribe's monsters had been successfully provoked by him, and the entire army was chasing him.

"A bunch of brainless idiots..."

Kewen chuckled and murmured, then turned around and started jogging in the direction of the fortress.

Always keeping a safe distance from the army of monsters behind him, Ke Wen kept running in front, and once the monster showed "lower hatred", he would immediately turn back and throw a few less powerful magics behind him.

Only when he was provoked again to the point of the monster's wrath did he continue to run away.

In this way, Ke Wen led thousands of monsters and ran for more than 1,500 meters, and finally came to the 'gourd-shaped' pass he had arranged using the 'Transformation Technique'.

Slowing down his running pace, Ke Wen looked back, then grabbed both sides of his body with his hands.

Two whirlwinds were caught out of the science and technology space, and then they were thrown backward by him.

The whirlwind expanded rapidly and rushed into the wave of monsters.

But after all, it was a magic whose power was deliberately controlled, so it only caused an angry scream among the monsters, but did not cause any effective damage.

After the last provocation was completed, Kewen turned around, gradually increased his speed, and rushed into the Calabash Pass.

Soon arriving at the last clearing, Kewen followed the road he had reserved early and passed through the swamps that covered the entire area.

Arriving at the bottom of the fortress, Kewen stood still and quickly commanded hundreds of monster puppets to step forward and form several rows of shield wall protection circles for the fortress.

The puppets had just been arranged here, and over the last pass, hundreds of monsters had already rushed into the swamp from the twenty-meter-wide pass.

The muddy swamp instantly slowed down the chasing speed of the monsters. When the number of monsters rushing into the pass exceeded 500, a sharp shout suddenly sounded above Ke Wen's head: "Rogs! Attack-"

Whoosh whoosh——

A hail of arrows suddenly flew out from the launch port above the fortress, covering the group of monsters condescendingly...
