Age of Adepts

Chapter 506: Inside and outside the camp

Views:

Under the control of the goblin, the five logging machines brandished chainsaws and iron fists, and with heavy steps that shook the ground, they rumbled towards the Zerg.

This Zerg was acting reckless and rampant just now, but when it saw the iron bumps spewing hot water vapor rushing towards itself, it immediately turned into a cunning fox and began to hide in the lumberyard. stand up.

The pile of logs piled up like a mountain became its best shelter.

Compared to Timbersaws, Zergs are not even the size of their thick, square feet. If it is stepped on by such a big guy, no matter how tenacious the vitality of the Zerg is, no matter how tough the carapace is, it will be difficult to resist the terrifying weight of up to 40 tons.

Therefore, the Zerg used the logs piled up in the center of the camp to rush left and right inside, and from time to time launched a quick surprise attack on the troll slaves and goblin guards who couldn't avoid it in time.

The lumber camp was in chaos in an instant.

All the troll slaves fled with their heads in their hands. In a panic, some ran into the front of the Zerg and became the target of the opponent's slaughter; some sent themselves to the advancing route of the fast-running logging machine, and then were trampled into meat sauce with a short and shrill howl.

Obem led a group of goblin guards into chaos when they were attacked by the running slaves, and couldn't keep up with the nimble and vigorous figure of the Zerg.

"All goblins, don't mess around..." Obem was worthy of being the commander of the camp, even at this moment he was still calmer than the rest of the goblins. He climbed up a tall wooden block, stood on it and roared loudly: "All the goblin guards, give me a wooden block... You... You... You... Don't chase after you loggers, hold the intersection in the camp for me ... All the slaves must go to the house to assemble, and anyone who runs away will be killed... "

Under Obem's command, the camp that was still in chaos just now had a backbone, and all the slaves and goblin guards ran to their respective positions as ordered. And the five loggers no longer chased the Zerg to eat soil, but retreated to the outside to hold the intersection between the log piles, looking at each other, waiting for the opponent to throw themselves into the net.

The stinging scorpion suddenly stopped between two piles of logs, raised its body, and seemed to be listening to something.

Soon, it changed its strategy, rushed out of the log pile, and began to attack the huge wooden boxes in the middle of the camp.

Lured by it, two goblin shredders rushed into the log pile, slashing and slicing everything inside with chainsaws. The logs were chopped so that sawdust flew, and the large wooden boxes were chopped to pieces. The wooden boxes were knocked to the ground, and the contents were scattered everywhere.

It was a strange crystal prism more than half a meter long, and it seemed that it was not a solid body, but filled with a strange fluid emitting a faint green light.

I don't know why, but I can't feel any elemental breath on them, but Billis, who is hiding in the jungle far away, has a slight twitch in his heart for no reason.

He suddenly felt that the most meaningful items in this camp were not the five goblin logging machines, nor the fire stick in the goblin's hands, but these mysterious and strange crystal prisms.

Under his command, the stinging scorpion immediately stirred up a khaki dust mist around its body, and it plunged into the ground. When it sprang out again, it had already reached the overturned crystal box. next to the prism.

"Fire... fire..." Obem's shrill roar sounded again: "Don't let monsters get close to the mana battery. Fire me quickly..."

Under his shout, all the goblin guards perched on top of the log pile raised their goblin muskets and fired fiercely at the stinging scorpion. The metal projectiles as dense as locusts hit the stinging scorpion's dark carapace, and most of them were bounced off.

But the stinging scorpion also had a few streams of purple-black and foul-smelling blood, and the compound eyes of the worm's head were knocked out in many places.

A shrill and sharp insect hiss sounded in the arena, and wherever the terrifying sound wave spread, all the goblins covered their ears and rolled all over the floor in pain. Even the goblin mechanics on those five logging machines are no exception!

Billis, who was spying from a distance, was slightly stunned, and then seemed to understand something.

To be honest, Billis was completely shocked when he saw those five goblin logging machines for the first time just now.

With the keenness of his mental power, he was able to detect that each of these goblin shredders had the basic strength no less than that of senior apprentices. And here, it seems that it is just a remote wilderness town in the goblin empire.

And the cylindrical long sticks in the hands of the goblin guards, which can stimulate metal projectiles, have a basic attack power of 30 degrees. This attack strength may not be a big deal to the wizards, but if every low-level goblin in the goblin empire can have this simple and quick attack method, then Billis will have to re-evaluate the overall strength of the goblin empire up.

If five senior apprentices can be casually pulled out here, and each goblin can have the attack power of a junior apprentice, this is not good news for the wizards' next plane invasion.

But everything has its ups and downs!

Although the combat quality and attack power shown by these goblins made him secretly startled, the stinging scorpion's painful screams also exposed the flaws of these goblins.

Their strength and strength seem to rely on these strange equipment, but their own strength is so small that it is almost not worth mentioning.

The strength of the sound wave excited by the thorny scorpion's painful scream just now was only 15 degrees, but the goblins present were already staggering, unable to hold themselves. This fully shows that their physical strength is not as good as that of junior apprentices, and their physical and mental basic values must be very low.

While the goblins were all dazed, the wounded stinging scorpion once again created a cloud of dust covering a radius of 5 meters, then burrowed into the ground and never appeared again.

The goblins who were so dizzy took a long time to wake up, and immediately organized people to search the entire camp, but they couldn't find any trace of the zerg. As a last resort, they gave up their search and began to restore order in the logging camp.

As the entire camp was turned into a pool of mud, many log piles were knocked apart by rampaging logging machines, and numerous wooden boxes were smashed to pieces. So when they were sorting out all this with difficulty, almost no goblins noticed that the scattered crystal prisms in the field had lost two inexplicably.

...

Just as the goblins came out to search the camp and the surrounding jungle, Billis had already returned to the depths of the jungle with the stinging scorpion war insects, and only planted one or two flying insect eyeliners around the camp.

Having found a hidden cave in the jungle, Billis immediately began to study the two strange items he had just obtained.

Mana battery

These two strange little things are called magic batteries

Judging from their names, this seems to be a special kind of energy crystal, which can provide some special equipment with non-elemental mysterious energy. Just now, when he saw that the weak goblin was able to manipulate a metal puppet twenty times its size, Billis was already surprised from ear to ear.

What surprised him the most at that time was what kind of energy this big guy was powered by. After all, he didn't feel any aura of elemental energy on them.

But now, after getting two mana batteries, and sensing the weird energy frequency inside, Billis has a vague feeling that those big guys are probably powered by these so-called mana batteries!

It's just that there is no alchemy laboratory here, and he has little knowledge of alchemy. Therefore, if you want to see through the strange system of the goblins from these two mana batteries, you can't do it with the power of Bliss.

Therefore, Billis could only focus on the goblin camp again, trying to find more and more comprehensive information from it.

What Billis didn't know was that when he was hiding in the cave and researching the magic energy battery, a goblin helicopter suddenly rose from the goblin lumberyard, and quickly flew into the distance in the dark.

Although the battle during the day caught the goblin commander Obem by surprise, they did not find any valuable information or clues. However, combined with the information brought back by Papa Tok, Obem has every reason to suspect that the Zerg that broke into the camp today is most likely the minions brought by the alien invaders.

So after sending more guards to stand guard in the lumber camp, Obem also wrote a request letter himself and entrusted Papa Tok to bring it to Bazik, the commander of the Seventh Goblin Land Army 170 miles away.

In the letter, Obem described in detail the horror of the alien invaders in a tone that made the goblins stand on end, and once again explained the weakness of the defense force of Beta Town.

When Papa Tok left the camp with his flying apprentice Mossadin in a goblin helicopter, Commander Obem stood in front of the wooden window of the second-floor building, looking at the dead jungle under the cover of night from afar, his heart full of distress. Words of fear and worry.

Such a jungle is not normal!

Normally, a large number of wild beasts and monsters would appear around the camp at night. Even if the goblin guards planted burning torches around the camp, they still couldn't stop them from circling around the camp under the cover of night.

But today, the jungle under the night revealed a deathly silence.

It seemed that in the darkness out of sight lurks innumerable ghastly monsters, and it is by them that the beasts of the jungle are frightened away or killed.

This also fully shows that the zerg that came to make trouble in the camp during the day has not gone away, and is still watching them outside. Once the goblin guards relax a little bit, or there is a major leak in the camp defense, the Zerg will definitely make a comeback and wreak havoc on the lumber camp once again.

As for the opponent's purpose, Commander Obem thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have the slightest idea.
