The party outside the house was still going on. Luo Ling transformed into a raven and flew out of the window behind the small stone house.
With so many defense towers and powerful subordinates, the Oak Territory was safe and secure.
He finally had time to explore the size of the Twilight Forest. At worst, he would stop to rest after the transformation time was over, and then continue to go out after cooling down.
According to the descriptions of Brooke and Vera, the Twilight Forest is located in the northern part of the Vana Continent, and to the south are various human empires and kingdoms.
Bernie previously reported that there is a human territory about 200 kilometers down the stream on his side. Luo Ling plans to take a look at his nearest neighbor.
The raven flies very fast, silently breaking through the silent night sky, flapping its wings and flying away.
From Luo Ling's current perspective, there are actually some lights in the whole forest. Those are fireflies flying.
In the one minute of the raven transformation, he can fly about 50 kilometers, but he must land on an open space in advance, otherwise he will suddenly regain his human form at a height of several hundred meters and perform a free fall spectacle.
There was only one huge banyan tree on the hill where they settled. It was lush and had many empty bird nests.
Because of the blood moon, the birds that had built nests on it had all died, and the whole hill was quiet.
Without natural enemies, the insects grew and developed very quickly.
Luo Ling sat on the branch of the banyan tree, staring at the data on the game panel. Someone had destroyed the altar again!
"Too strong, let's fight head-on! Tomorrow there should be a large number of altars that will be destroyed. I hope the beast god won't come, and even if he does, don't come directly to the Dusk Forest."
The best case scenario is to stop it, and the worst case scenario is of course not to come near your territory. This is the most realistic thought of ordinary people.
No one would want such a god who looks malicious to appear next to them, and he will definitely cause trouble.
It takes 500,000 altars to stop the beast god, and now there are not even 50. It can be said that the players have a long way to go.
Perhaps under the threat of the beast tide and the temptation of divinity, more players will gather together.
Luo Ling has a lot of survival points. He can settle at least 3,000 points tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. He is hesitating whether to continue upgrading the Transfiguration.
This skill is really easy to use. All three forms are extremely practical, but the duration is too short. A mere one minute is not enough.
"Let's upgrade first." Luo Ling wanted to know what form the Transfiguration would take when it was upgraded to the top level. The current Raven, Giant Bear, and Mermaid are very useful.
He clicked the upgrade button, but the game system directly prompted "The player level is insufficient. The highest skill level is lv3. Please work hard to upgrade the level."
"There is actually a level limit?" This is the first time Luo Ling has encountered such a thing. There are survival points, but people are not allowed to upgrade.
Before, he upgraded Transfiguration, Rejuvenation, and Apollo's Wrath to lv3. The rest of the skills, such as Jungle Guardian, Vine Entanglement, and Oak Heart, are only lv2. The newly learned skills Minotaur Trampling and Sea of ​​​​Bana are still lv1.
The accumulated survival points were used to upgrade the territory core, upgrade the defense tower, and build other buildings, and he did not improve his strength in time.
Now I may have to face several consecutive battles. In the case that the equipment cannot be upgraded, upgrading these skills is the best way.
The cooling time of the transformation technique has arrived. Luo Ling is not in a hurry to leave, but searched the forum for the statement about the skill level.
Players have a very similar guess about this. The skill level can only be one level higher than the player's own level. For example, when the player level is 09, the skill can only be upgraded to lv2 at most; when the level is 1019, the skill can be upgraded to lv3; now there are players above level 20, and they can upgrade their skills to lv4 as long as they have survival points!
Luo Ling is only level 19 now, and there are still tens of thousands of experience points away from the next level. Without the overwhelming experience points of the beast tide, it is very difficult to upgrade.
Therefore, some players are unwilling to destroy the Beast God Altar. They do not consider the actual situation of the surrounding territories. They just want to hold their own territory steadily.
If the altar is destroyed in advance, how can you upgrade quickly!
After all, you can get 5 free attributes for each level you upgrade, and you can quickly become stronger by adding them to strength, agility, etc.
Everyone has different ideas. At this stage, whether to protect oneself, quietly improve one's own abilities, or help the surrounding territories is a personal choice of the players, and they cannot be accused of selfish behavior.
Luo Ling looked at his survival points and silently spent 300 survival points to upgrade the sea of ​​flowers from level 1 to level 3. The rest of the skills can only be upgraded after the survival points are settled tomorrow.
The reason for upgrading this skill is that the attributes of the raven and the sea of ​​flowers are very compatible. The effect can be improved by 50 when this skill is used in the form of a raven.
Perhaps both of them are creatures of the underworld, or they are both related to illusions.
Just like the giant bear state using the Minotaur trample skill, the power effect is also improved.
It's just that the mermaid state has no corresponding skill matching yet, but there is basically no chance to use the mermaid state in the forest.
After the sea of ​​flowers is upgraded to level 3, the effect is much stronger, and the secrecy of the use is also very high, and it will not be so easily discovered.
This game system is like a book that can never be turned over. Every time you check it carefully, you can gain something new.
Luo Ling looked at the time, then turned into a raven and flew south.
After flying and stopping three times, he really saw a towering defense tower and earthen wall beside a small river!
The stream originating from the second-level cold spring meandered along the way and merged with other tributaries to form a two-meter-wide river.
This territory seemed to be quite large, with various buildings arranged neatly, and the main buildings were on a small hill, with various defense towers overlooking.
There were dots of fire jumping in the territory, and Luo Ling had no intention of going down to get to know them, and believed that the other party had no plans to meet for the time being.
Putting himself in his shoes, Luo Ling didn't like a neighbor who fell from the sky.
He just noted the location of this territory and continued to fly south.
The forest seemed to have no boundaries. Luo Ling spent an hour and was still above the tall forest. The types of trees below were still similar to those around the oak territory.
Because he used skills too frequently, his mana was almost exhausted. Finally, he could only sit on the stone in the open space and began to test the Crown of Thorns's built-in skill "Blood Pain".
This skill has no cooldown time. As long as you can bear the pain of losing health, you can gain a steady stream of mana.
Now Luo Ling has 490 health points due to his profession, level, equipment and other factors, which is definitely a meat shield.
Each level up can only increase 10 health points, and the other attributes have nothing to do with health points. As long as the health points do not drop to 20, that is, below 98 points, the blood pain will not stop automatically.
According to the method of converting 2 health points to 1 magic point, he can convert up to 196 magic points. This is based on the premise that his health points will not be restored. If the health points are restored all the time, a perpetual motion machine bug can be achieved in a sense.
The soft thorns of the crown of thorns on his head suddenly hardened and gently pierced into his skin. The pain made his head clear.
Unless the skill is turned off, this pain will always exist.
Luo Ling felt that his health points were gradually decreasing. He looked at the gradually filling magic points and used the Oak Heart single-target healing skill on himself.
Rejuvenation is a group healing skill, so there is no need to waste magic.
The original skill of the lv2 Oak Heart was to restore 20 health points to the target, but Luo Ling's several equipment have the ability to enhance the skill effect. The combination of multiple amplifications can restore 40 health points at a time.
Perhaps this pain is to remind players so that they don't forget to turn off the skill after using it.
Now in the wilderness, the situation is unclear, Luo Ling dare not let his health drop below 50.
When his mana is full, he quickly turns off the "Blood Pain" skill, and the crown of thorns on his head immediately becomes harmless.
"The effect is actually quite good."
Luo Ling is very satisfied with this. The mana recovery speed is very fast, even in the battle.
He said to himself, "This Dusk Forest is too big, no wonder it can accommodate so many lords."
He has been flying for so long and has not yet flown out. Instead, he encountered some wild beasts. In order to upgrade and relieve the pressure on other lords, he would occasionally throw down the "Apollo's Fury" Sun Crystal Bomb.
Maybe when he returns to the Oak Territory, he will be able to reach level 20. Now he still needs more than 800 experience points.
The rest time is enough, Luo Ling transforms into a raven again and continues to move forward along the south.
...
"Report to the Lord, the East Gate has been lost, and the two defense towers on the city wall are about to be destroyed."
"I will go to the East Gate to help first, you take Fang Zheng and the others to defend the South City, and get the iron pots and torches you prepared." Pang Yu looked anxious, and rushed directly to the lost city gate, trying to take it back.
The defense tower cannot be conquered. Once it is knocked down, his territory will become an amusement park for wild beasts and monsters.
Pang Yu was wearing armor and holding a big hammer in his hand. He was lucky to be transferred to a paladin, relying on the power of holy light to attack and heal.
This territory did not make it to the rankings, so it could not be systematically named. Pang Yu spent a long time building the territory.
Behind the territory is a vast sea of ​​forests, and to the east is a relatively flat grassland. There are many wild beasts coming from that direction.
Although earthen walls and several wooden arrow towers and crossbow towers have been built, there are too many wild beasts! The number of kills was far less than the speed of their attack. Unfortunately, there were still several elite-level monsters inside, making trouble. They cleverly avoided the shooting of the arrow tower and used their bodies and magic to knock open the city gate.
"Damn fox, get out of my territory!"
Pang Yu saw a two-meter-long red-haired fox standing on the city wall from a distance, destroying the second-order wooden arrow tower with its sharp claws, and each claw left a trace.
The arrow tower attack was OK from a distance, but once it was close, there was a blind spot for attack.
He swung the hammer with his right hand, and the hammer had holy light damage. As if it had its own navigation system, it smashed directly at the red-haired fox's head.
The fox was huge, but at the same time very agile. It jumped to the side, but the giant python behind it was hit flat on the head by the hammer.
Pang Yu ignored the weapon thrown over, took out another hammer from the game package, and then started close combat with the red-haired fox.
Not everyone's thrown hammer can automatically return. After he knew that he had the skill of the Holy Light Hammer, he commissioned other players in the trading market to make 20 hammers.
The fox was originally a small or medium-sized carnivore, but after it grew to its current size, its strength became very strong.
The claws swung at the hammer, causing Pang Yu to step back two steps.
At the same time, it opened its mouth wide, and a ball of fire spewed directly from its throat!
Fortunately, Pang Yu had expected it and quickly rolled on the ground to avoid it, but this put him at a disadvantage and was attacked by the fox's claws, teeth, and tail.
The elite fire fox here fought Pang Yu without losing, while the other beasts over there quickly ran into the territory.
The wooden arrows whizzed and shot completely ineffective. Even under the impact of the unicorn, one of the second-level wooden arrow towers creaked and fell to the side!
The rest of the city walls in the territory were also roaring. The recruited soldiers were completely useless under the attack of such a large number of beasts. Many were even bitten to death by the monsters. It was impossible to die together.
The fast-running beasts had already rushed to the living area. The various buildings built there were simply vulnerable. The farmers took hoes, axes, and saws to try to defend their homes.
But the soldiers were no match for them, and the farmers were even more miserable. Screams and cries continued to ring out. The burning fire did not stop the beasts, but was instead thrown everywhere by them, setting fire to the city walls and arrow towers.
Pang Yu's face was ashen. He originally thought that he could hold on for a long time. When others asked in the nearby channel whether to form a group to destroy the Beast God Altar, he was still pouring cold water on them.
As a result, retribution came so quickly!
At least 5 excellent-level monsters were mixed in the beast tide, and there were dozens of ordinary monsters. The defense tower simply didn't have time to kill so many.
"It would be great if the destroyed altar was on my side." This thought flashed through Pang Yu's mind, but unfortunately there was no file reload function in the game.
He dodged the bite of the elite fire fox and turned his head to look at the territory's living area that was on fire. His heart was full of worry, fear, anger, and all emotions mixed together.
The territory he had worked so hard to build was going to be destroyed by these beasts, and he felt unwilling to accept it.
An extremely angry force surged in Pang Yu's body. Anyway, his territory was going to be destroyed, so he had to drag a beast with him to be buried with it!
The left front paw of the elite fire fox swung towards his chest and abdomen, and the sharp nails directly cut through his heavy armor, leaving blood marks on his skin.
Pang Yu could have dodged it, but he overcame the subconscious movement of his body and suffered this blow. Then he seized the opportunity to hold the hammer with both hands and smashed it hard into the fire fox's nose!
If it was the rest of the head, the fire fox might be able to hold on, but the nose was the most fragile organ, which directly made it go crazy, and even attacked the companion next to it, but it still couldn't relieve the pain.
The power of holy light rushed directly into its mind, colliding with the power sprinkled by the blood moon in the sky, and it exploded like fireworks with a "bang"!
The experience brought by elite monsters is very strong. Pang Yu, who was originally injured and exhausted of magic power, suddenly had full blood and full status. His body instantly recovered strength, and then he picked up the hammer and smashed the remaining beasts.
It's paid off! Every beast killed is a profit.
Pang Yu didn't even know how many times he swung, his arms were almost so sore that he couldn't use his strength, but the beasts around him seemed to have not decreased, drowning him and his territory.
Just when he was about to accept his fate, a dazzling light lit up, and then the beasts not far away were directly blown over!
The explosion was extraordinary. The beasts within more than ten square meters were blown apart, with all kinds of limbs, blood, and bones, and then the beasts screamed in pain and howled in anger.
The unicorn that destroyed the second-order wooden arrow tower had thick skin and flesh, and it didn't seem to have any problems. Instead, it used its hind legs to dig the ground and stared at the sky angrily, as if it was about to rush up if it disagreed with something.
What's in the sky?
Pang Yu took the time to look up, and suddenly found a black crow!
The crow circled over the territory, and then suddenly swooped down at the unicorn, as if launching a death attack.
Can these monsters still fight among themselves?
Pang Yu was shocked by his own thoughts. He used holy light to put on armor for himself, ready to watch the monster conflict before he died.
Suddenly, the crow turned into a human holding a wooden staff!
A stream of white steam blew out of the unicorn's nose, and it pushed the ground with its powerful hind legs. The horn on its head gathered golden light, and it suddenly charged towards the human who suddenly appeared.
Pang Yu had seen the sharpness and powerful impact of the horns before. He didn't care about the identity of the human at this moment, and shouted loudly, "Be careful! If you get hit, you're done!"
Who knew that the human picked up the wooden staff and gave birth to vines on the ground. These green vines were like the ropes used in ancient wars, causing the charging unicorn to stagger and fall heavily to the ground.
The savior who came from the sky was Luo Ling.
He passed by several territories tonight. Although those territories were heavily surrounded by beast tides, they did not seem to be in great danger. Only this territory was raging with flames, screams and howls, and it looked very critical, and even the territory might be broken.
If he was a heartless person, he would choose to stand by and wait for the beasts to destroy the territory before picking up the broken territory core. In this way, not only would his hands not be stained with the blood of human compatriots, but he could also call it revenge for the other party.
Even if he was a little more morally corrupt, he could completely disguise himself as a monster in the beast tide with the transformation skill of the raven, break through one human territory after another, and snatch the core of those territories.
But Luo Ling is not that kind of person. He does not regard himself as a savior, nor does he think he is a perfect good person.
It would be fine if he didn't meet him, but if he happened to meet a player of the same race whose territory was severely damaged, he would not be able to get over the hurdle in his heart if he didn't help.
So he gave up the plan to continue flying south and threw Apollo's Wrath directly from the sky.
Now the unicorn fell to the ground, splashing dust, and thick vines wrapped it tightly. Even so, it was almost broken by the unicorn and struggled desperately.
Luo Ling didn't care about harvesting the life of this unicorn. The surrounding beasts rushed here desperately, and he was like a small boat in the sea.
There happened to be many big trees here. He used the Eternal Wood Staff to cast the skill Jungle Guardian on the two trees over there, and the two iron wire trees turned into burly tree men with a height of almost 4 meters!
The two tree men were quite large, far exceeding the beasts that invaded the territory. The roots became their feet and the branches became their hands.
With a sweep of their arms, the tigers, leopards, and wolves were overwhelmed!
It happened that these two tree men could also summon small tree men, and all the low trees and shrubs around were transformed into small tree men about one meter tall.
The situation suddenly changed. Pang Yu had no idea who this person was and why he would help him, but he knew that this was the only chance for the territory!
The other party looked like a powerful druid, with vines and tree men. He barely stopped the decline, and he couldn't drag his feet. He tried his best to knock the two vicious wolves to death and shouted, "Wait a moment, I'll go and recycle the two wooden arrow towers over there. After recycling, we can rebuild them."
The basic resources are seriously insufficient. Now Pang Yu can no longer directly repair the second-level wooden arrow tower, and can only reuse the debris.
Luo Ling nodded and replied, "Go quickly, I'll cover you!"
He was not going to hold back, but used various skills to help Pang Yu clear the way.
Within a radius of ten meters, the monsters that pounced on him were all entangled by sharp thorny vines without exception, and some even sucked blood and poisoned the thorny vines, causing the beasts that rushed over by inertia to be trapped in them.
The range attack skill of the Eternal Wooden Cane was used, and these sharp thorny vines accurately avoided Pang Yu, allowing him to come to the remains of his two second-level wooden arrow towers, quickly decompose the wood, and then combine it with the remaining resources before. Pang Yu built a brand new wooden arrow tower on the city wall! After
the arrow tower was built, it began to quickly harvest the lives of wild beasts. The monsters in the beast tide wanted to repeat the same trick and destroy the arrow tower again, but were stopped by Luo Ling.
The cooling time of the transformation technique ended, and Luo Ling, who was originally holding a wooden cane, directly transformed into a giant earth bear.
Not only did Pang Yu get scared, but the beasts in the beast tide were also confused. Fortunately, Pang Yu knew that his savior was a druid. After a moment of panic, he began to guard the arrow tower on the other side to prevent any beasts from approaching.
The giant bear not only had a physical advantage, it could kill a beast with one palm, but also used earth magic. Earth spikes suddenly rose up and attacked the soft abdomens of tigers, elephants, lions, cheetahs, wolves and other beasts, causing them to bleed and wail.
The East Gate was temporarily stable, but the rest of the territory was already shaky.
Pang Yu was sweating profusely. He had to admit that his territory was no longer saveable, but he didn't want to implicate others, so he urged, "Brother, run for your life. You can turn into a crow and fly away. There is no need to die with my territory."
"No, we can hold on."
Luo Ling, who turned into a giant bear, replied in a low voice, but this low voice was almost the kind that resounded throughout the venue.
"We can't defend it. There are too many damn beasts. We can't kill them all! You are a good person. Remember to destroy the beast god altar to help me get revenge." Pang Yu was extremely pessimistic. He had already planned to give up resistance, but he didn't want to let this strange kind-hearted person die with him.
Luo Ling was now as tall as the tree man over there. He saw that beasts had already climbed over the other gates. It was indeed difficult to reverse the situation by himself.
But should he just accept his fate?
He didn't want to watch a human die like this. It happened that the giant bear's transformation time was up, and Luo Ling turned back into human form again.
So he gritted his teeth and activated another skill of the legendary Storm Light Armor, "Storm Dragon's Fury".
A blue dragon phantom with a length of 100 meters appeared above the territory!
