When Deng Xisi arrived at the fourth floor, his apprentices and hired criminals were already prepared.
Most of these criminals from various empires did not survive the Crystal Plague, but Deng Xisi used some tricks to make them evolve into Spell Thieves successfully, but the price was that their lifespan was less than two years.
But for this group of desperate criminals, strength is much more important than their lives.
The outermost part of the fourth layer is a city wall and gate made of a high wall of ruins. This city wall is buried deep in a rift in the snowfield. If you want to come here, you must first endure the extremely cold temperature in the snowfield and the wandering monsters.
But those Holy Spirits came...
"tutor."
Deng Xisi's apprentices on the city wall saluted when they saw him coming. These were the backbone forces trained by Deng Xisi, a total of fifty-three people. There were thirty-two apprentices on the city wall ready to fight, plus one hundred and twenty prisoners and various city defense equipment on the city wall... Deng Xisi was not sure whether he could really stop those holy spirits.
"I have said before that the Holy Spirits cannot be killed, so for the final blow you must use the daggers I gave you to kill them. When you kill the Holy Spirits, these daggers can draw a portion of their energy from their bodies."
Deng Xisi pointed at the daggers worn by his apprentices. This dagger was not an ancient artifact... but a dagger made from the teeth and bones of the Lord of the Spiritual Forest.
On this island, only the island lords of the seven areas can digest the power of the God of Devouring God... Tian Shuanglong is one of them. The island lord of the Spirit Vein Forest was killed by Deng Xis, and Deng Xis replaced him and preserved his bones, which are finally put to use now.
The daggers made of these bones are still alive. As long as the thieves use this dagger to deal a fatal blow to the holy spirits, they can absorb part of the power that makes up their bodies.
Deng Xisi did not believe that the number of rebirths of those holy spirits was endless!
"Deng Xisi, only a small part of those little guys are a bit tricky. The tricks of the other little guys can be seen through at a glance. There is no need to worry too much."
Benreji walked up and hit Deng Xisi on the shoulder and said that he was Deng Xisi’s old friend, not Deng Xisi’s apprentice…
"Are you still trying to control the power of mind? I have reminded you... Although the powers of the Holy Spirits are numerous, more than half of them have huge side effects! The power of mind is the second most dangerous!" Deng Xis looked at the arcs of electricity that occasionally emerged from Ben Reggie's body and reminded him in a deep voice.
Ben Regis was the Mage Thief who was beaten badly by Zhao Mingwei's basic attack during the battle for Ye Lina. He felt humiliated after the defeat. He was rescued and brought back to the camp by Deng Xis, but he not only did not give up the dangerous power of mind, but also chose to go further and further on this dangerous road.
"Don't I have good control? If those little guys can control it, so can I." Ben Reggie said as some spiritual energy appeared on his hands.
"The magic circuits in your body have been completely distorted! Why don't you learn from my apprentice Aisin? She knows which power of the Holy Spirit is most suitable for her." Deng Xis pointed at the inconspicuous girl who had been following him.
He is the apprentice that Deng Xis is most looking forward to besides Ye Lina. What Ai Xin stole is the sword power of the holy spirits, which may be the most...safe one among the powers held by the holy spirits.
In addition, Aixin's original talent in swordsmanship was very good, so after stealing the ability of sword energy, his combat power ranked among the top three among the apprentices of Deng Xis.
"..." Ben Regis wanted to say something, but the team of law thieves sent by Deng Xisi to monitor once again sent intelligence from the front line.
"Holy Spirits! They found the entrance to the canyon... They..."
Before the team of law thieves under the city wall had time to report everything, a giant fist made of machinery suddenly appeared in the narrow hole. This fist rushed straight towards the city wall where Deng Xis was standing, with the posture of destroying all blocking objects on the ground.
The Fist of Gaiboga, an essential awakening for siege.
This punch hit the surface of the city wall heavily. Some of the thieves standing on it lost their balance due to the vibration of the ground and fell to the ground. The city wall was not destroyed, but cracks appeared on its surface.
When the Fist of Gaiboga disappeared... the figures of the Holy Spirits appeared at the entrance of the ruins. Deng Xisi estimated that there were nearly three hundred of them... They rushed into the ruins by stepping on various traps set by Deng Xisi along the way!
"My fellow countrymen, we are facing the greatest threat since we gained our freedom... Drive out those invaders who have violated our homes! So that... we will no longer be shackled and thrown into cages!" Deng Xis shouted.
"for freedom!"
"To fill my stomach!"
Shouts came one after another from the city wall. After all the traps in the ruins were stepped on by the Holy Spirits once, the spell thieves who followed Deng Xis all jumped off the city wall and rushed towards the Holy Spirit army in the distance.
"Teacher, even if we drive them away now, they will come again, right?" Ai Xin, who had been standing behind Deng Xis, suddenly asked.
"No... Aisin, we just need to hold on for another seven days. In another seven days, this island will completely... obey me. No one will disturb us then, and I no longer need to worry about being hunted by anyone." Deng Xis said.
"I believe in you, mentor."
Aixin pulled out the long sword given to her by Deng Xis and jumped directly from the city wall. Aixin's figure shuttled across the battlefield... She did not choose to fight with the group of holy spirits directly, but chose the first target to kill among these holy spirits.
Deng Xisi speculated on the fighting methods of this group of holy spirits. Their primary target was the healers who could restore the holy spirits. The holy spirits seemed to call them nannies? Or nannies
What a strange name.
Aisin no longer cared how the Holy Spirit called these healers. Her mission was to kill as many healers as possible, so that the endurance of the Holy Spirits would be greatly reduced!
found it!
Aisin quietly appeared beside a group of Holy Spirit teams that seemed the easiest to bully. The reason they were the easiest to bully was that this small group of Holy Spirits fought more disorganized than other players. The Holy Spirit in charge of treatment was in a panic and was constantly scolded by other Holy Spirits.
The Holy Spirit can be resurrected... Aixin muttered these words to herself as she placed her hand lightly on the hilt of her sword.
In an instant... she drew out the long sword in her hand, and the arc of the sword flashed past... But Aixin didn't feel the cut hit flesh, but instead there was a 'ding' sound...
It was blocked!
"My friends! I'm telling you, some spell thieves specifically target the nanny! Their AI is very cunning! Do you think I'm cool in protecting the nanny? Linglong, you keep healing! Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The swordsman used a parry to block Aixin's sword slash. He was busy chatting with his friends and didn't notice that his health was reduced by one-sixth by this sword slash.
"Swordsman, in front! In front!"
"Stupid swordsman! The boss is coming to chop me!"
When the netizens' barrage reminded the swordsman, the Mo Dao swordsman looked up and saw Ai Xin's cold face, and... the dragon-headed sword energy transformed from the sword in Ai Xin's hand biting towards him!
"Holy crap? How come this boss can also be a fierce dragon?"
The swordsman raised his hand but failed to block it, and was directly chopped off by half of Aixin's fierce dragon sky slash.
At this time, the swordsman finally saw the mark on Aixin's head clearly...
'The chief apprentice of the Spellthief, Aisin, level: 50, elite creature, 231012/231012.'
"You're still an elite monster! The decision has been made for you! Little girl, follow the master of our Black Wind Village! I promise you'll have good food and drink!"
The swordsman with strange swordsmanship has now naturally assumed the role of the bandit of Black Wind Village, and his performance has been extremely effective.
“The Black Wind Stronghold? I’ve heard that you are... bandits?” Aisin frowned.
"It's better to have heard of our name! Follow me... Hey! Lady, spare me! I'm dying! I'm really dying! Lady, spare me, ah!"
While the swordsman of the Mo Dao swordsman was still acting like a bandit and talking nonsense about Aixin, Aixin directly aimed at him and raised his hand to use the Phantom Sword Dance, the most powerful move in the swordsman profession, which is second only to awakening.
Hundreds of sword energies, accompanied by the long sword in Aixin's hand, swept directly towards the Modao swordsman. This was not the end... When the phantom sword dance ended, the Modao swordsman still had a little blood left, but the next second a translucent flower made of sword energy suddenly bloomed on the Modao swordsman's chest. When the flower fully bloomed, a -3123 damage appeared above the Modao swordsman's head.
He also turned directly into a tombstone of a dog squatting on the ground.
'Another anchor who was defeated in seconds for talking nonsense about BOSS. I am dying of laughter.'
"The swordsman's skills are better than yours for a boss... and he's also the best swordsman in the Holy Spirit."
The barrage of comments mocked the series of breathtaking actions of the Swordsman of Mo Dao crazily. Ai Xin could not see the barrage of comments. After killing the Swordsman of Mo Dao, she set her sights directly on the nurse named Linglong.
But the sense of danger made Aixin give up the attack and jump up directly on the tombstone of the strange swordsman.
The moment she jumped up, the ground suddenly cracked and a large amount of magma made of blood gushed out.
Aisin was also contaminated by some magma, and his health quickly decreased by 3214.
When Aixin fell to the ground again... Chen Meng was looking at her with a huge sword on his shoulder.
"You are the one who killed our second in command in a second? Huh? The girl is pretty, although not as pretty as Queen May. Are you interested in becoming our consort?" Chen Meng asked.
"I... will no longer obey you bandits. Now no one can lock me up in a cage as a slave!" Ai Xin said to Chen Meng in a dangerous tone.
"What do you mean by being a slave? The welfare of our Black Wind Village is very good. With your qualifications, you can be paid three gold coins a day, okay? You will also have five insurances and one housing fund! Food and lodging are all included! Now you will also be given company housing when you join the company, and we organize employees to go on trips at the end of each month. Will you consider it, girl?" Chen Meng asked seriously.
"?"
Even though Ai Xin was ready to deal with all kinds of strange actions from this group of holy spirits, he was still stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Meng's recruitment invitation.
You tell me this is fucking banditry
“What are the five social insurances and one housing fund?”
What made her feel most upset was that she asked a question subconsciously.
