arcane emperor

Chapter 679 Twisted Dryad (8000)

Yaya looked at Onyxia studying hard, with a happy smile on her face.

"Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid of traveling all over the world."

"The outside world is too dangerous, you have to study hard."

Onyxia disagreed with what Yaya said.

There is nothing more dangerous in the world than studying under Yaya's hands.

Then, she saw it!

Matthew, who completed part of the transformation problem, transferred his clone back to Aso Volcano Fortress.

Under Onyxia's somewhat "frightened" gaze, Matthew released the powerful dragon power, various magical images and spells that seemed to be real.

She also took a test on her recent studies.

I felt that Onyxia was indeed a good prospect, and arranged for her to carry out "more" learning tasks.

Optical knowledge is not enough. You must practice combat skills and arcane knowledge, and study more applied knowledge.

In this world of manifested knowledge.

It represents power in the truest sense!

As for Onyxia's moodiness and bad temper, Matthew didn't take it particularly seriously.

He never believed that there was any child that could not be corrected by the system and ideology.

Just like a demon who is easily affected by strength and blood.

Didn’t it also maintain stability and normality with the “help”, education, and transformation of the Gulf Territory?

Even adult trolls and ogres, haven't they become extremely well-behaved now?

Matthew does not seek to change their thoughts, because everyone’s thoughts are free and changing.

Matthew just needs to restrain their behavior and let the general direction of his efforts be to promote the continuous development of the Gulf Territory.

Onyxia, who is born with the ability to master knowledge and has bloodline memories, is indeed susceptible to the "violent" memories in her bloodline.

But because of this, she must be disciplined even more!

Jade is not cut, not a device.

The same goes for real dragons!

The unlucky Onyxia fell into the educational "experiment" of the Gulf Territory.

Matthew and Yaya will accumulate more teaching experience based on her learning situation to prepare for the subsequent real dragons and dragon types.

Dragons have great potential and strength, so they must be managed well.

Onyxia, who couldn't bear the pain of studying, had many thoughts about escaping from the captivity here.

The first thing to avoid was the teeth that she couldn't resist.

Onyxia has never seen Yaya's true form, but she has felt her majesty, which caused trembling in her soul.

Yaya must not be messed with!

So how do you sneak away secretly while avoiding Yaya?

Onyxia, who had been observing for a long time, discovered that the dragon turtle Heijia slept most of the time, but occasionally woke up.

This requires her to remember the time.

Onyxia, who was thinking hard, discovered that Fang was not staring at her all the time.

This gave her a chance.

Onyxia calculated the right time, and while Yaya was doing other things, while the dragon turtle Black Armor was sleeping, she quickly crawled out of the cave and hid secretly.

She carefully hid from the edge of the mountain, not daring to open her wings and fly.

Then Onyxia was caught.

A patrol of soldiers spotted her.

Onyxia hid back very obediently. To her surprise, Yaya did not get angry about this, but instead said to her straightforwardly:

"Before executing the plan, you must first collect information, then make precise calculations, and then conduct advance drills..."

"However, since your plan to escape failed, you must accept punishment..."

Onyxia has been wondering what the punishment is? Will she be starved for a few meals?

As a result, she found that the food Yaya prepared for her was still more and nutritious than before.

Just when Onyxia relaxed a little, Yaya came over with several sets of strengthening training papers and said with a smile:

"Come on, the punishment for failure is extra food, and you can't let go of the spiritual food!"

The miserable Onyxia accepted the punishment helplessly, secretly making up her mind.

"You must escape!"

Yaya likes to play the hide-and-seek game with her very much.

Considering her current strength, I specially "released" her to show what she has learned and apply what she has learned.

However, Onyxia clearly underestimated the patrol soldiers, various policies, and monitoring systems of the Gulf Territory.

She carefully observed it for many days, made many attempts and adventures, and failed to break through the first two layers of defense and patrol.

With this motivation, Onyxia, who was unconvinced, studied more carefully and seriously.

Regarding this, Yaya is also happy to see the results.

Most of her energy during this time was spent on researching how to safely strengthen and transform her lungs.

At the same time, Yaya also needs to study whether the modification will have adverse effects on other parts of the body and record whether there are any sequelae.

Various considerations and researches took away part of Yaya's energy, and he just used this as a pastime.

Click!Click!Click!

The huge monster kept moving forward.

At the bottom of its raised thighs, dense vine tentacles extend in all directions.

It brutally crushed and devoured the twisted plants, like a monster that had been hungry for many days, greedily absorbing and devouring the twisted plants and flesh.

The huge body, nearly 30 meters tall, swayed forward.

There are only sparse leaves on the top, and there are swaying twisted branches everywhere.

It does not have many branches, and has a relatively twisted and ferocious human shape, with a withered and ferocious human face under the canopy.

The expressions on the human face are quite complex.

Like groans of pain, like desperate greed, and like involuntary anger.

There were three or four big ferocious hands on both sides of the branches, constantly beating the surrounding air.

Only when you want to pull out those large twisted plants will you really grab them.

If Matthew were here, he would be able to recognize this huge green creature at a glance.

It is the powerful combat unit that wiped out players and Catachan warriors in "previous lives" - the Twisted Dryad.

Twisted Dryad: Challenge Level 25+ (Legendary Commander)!

Compared to the weird and twisted creatures like Catachan Demons who are good at sneak attacks.

This twisted tree spirit is obviously the master of transformation and distortion of twisted plants.

It has a huge, tough body.

The energy source continuously consumes the twisted plants and flesh around it, and has strong recovery capabilities.

The most important point is that the twisted tree spirit has long-range attack capabilities that are rare in other twisted plants.

It is another trump card of the evil shadow spirits, possessing the powerful power to destroy city walls head-on.

Even the towering city walls cannot withstand its might.

The Twisted Tree Spirit is one of the most powerful combat weapons among the monsters that attack cities.

Its huge size also means a surprisingly huge amount of consumption.

It can only travel up to 50 kilometers per day.

It lacks sufficient mobility.

Even so, it is still the most trustworthy trump card of the evil shadow spirits.

Ordinary evil shadow spirits do not have the ability or qualifications to create such a powerful twisted tree spirit.

These more than ten twisted tree spirits are strategic resources they applied for from other evil shadow spirits.

They were only developed in the past two years, and then they showed terrifying destructive power.

They assisted other evil shadow spirits and easily destroyed the walls of the Catachan tribe, crushing the surviving Catachan tribes everywhere.

The evil shadow spirits believe that if they had the twisted tree spirit before.

It will definitely destroy the many fortresses of the Catachan tribe, as well as the cities built in the Gulf Territory.

Consider that the Gulf Territory is building more and more cities today.

A considerable number of cities and fortresses are connected together with the Aso Volcano Fortress as the center.

In order to maximize the lethality of the twisted tree spirit.

The evil shadow spirits tolerated the Gulf Territory and expanded in all directions with Aso Volcano as the center, establishing six satellite cities for mining minerals and rare metals.

They want to complete their efforts in one battle and directly destroy the Aso Volcano Fortress!

Moreover, they also need to understand the secrets of the Gulf Territory's scorched-earth tactics and find ways to fully crack them.

The evil shadow spirits are very ambitious and very confident, and they want to conquer the Aso Volcano Fortress.

They want to retake the hatching site where the legendary Catachan demons were raised!

The huge twisted tree spirit naturally attracted the attention of the bay leader's dragon cavalry.

The flying dragon knights recorded the situation and information of these behemoths and did not approach them rashly.

The flying dragon knight's combat style is not as unscrupulous as Yaya's.

News about the twisted tree spirit quickly spread back to Aso Volcano Fortress.

Matthew had come into contact with the Twisted Dryads, fought against them, and suffered heavy losses.

Now that he was facing them again, Matthew was naturally the same as before and would not choose to back down.

He took the time to collect some basic information and data on the twisted tree spirit.

Rating: A natural guardian who is twisted from soul to body.

The huge size, shocking tonnage, and the legendary upper limit of 35 points of strength fully illustrate the power of this behemoth.

However, Matthew also found the fatal weakness of this behemoth.

That is too slow!

Its powerful recovery ability also relies more on the help of ordinary twisted monsters and plants.

Under the influence of scorched earth tactics, ordinary twisted plants and monsters cannot assist it in fighting together.

What the Gulf Territory has to deal with is just the monsters themselves.

Of course, Matthew didn't spend much time observing their specific conditions.

Instead, the information about the twisted tree spirit was transmitted back to the Bay Territory and Catachan demiplane combat headquarters as quickly as possible.

Based on the data and information provided by Matthew, the combat command quickly issued emergency orders to the weapons research institutes and production factories in the Gulf Territory.

Weapons that are deadly and destructive are developed to target the Twisted Dryad.

Its main effect must have two points.

The first point is to curb its amazing recovery ability and prevent it from fighting to support fighting during the battle.

The second point is to cause enough killing and damage to extremely large objects.

After receiving such special orders and tasks, the weapons research institute in the Gulf Territory quickly became busy.

They convened various professional researchers to study and discuss the various characteristics of the twisted tree spirit.

Use this to determine the type of research weapon, the material used to make the weapon, and the type of enchantment.

In addition to researching new weapons, the combat command also issued other orders.

"Expand the battlefield!"

"Destroy the large twisted plants and monsters around you."

The Gulf Territory soldiers who received the order started to move quickly under the curious gaze of the adventurers.

With the help of various weapons and equipment, and led by civil engineers, they launched a devastating attack on the surrounding twisted jungle.

They kept pushing forward, destroying the twisted monsters and plants around them.

The defenseless evil shadow spirit.

They could only watch as the Gulf Territory deployed an organized combat force, harvesting large areas of twisted plants and monsters.

It took them about half a day to push the entire front line out for nearly 3 kilometers.

At the same time, the powerful dragon warrior team has also targeted the large twisted monsters and plants everywhere.

With the help of the flying dragon cavalry and various hidden teleportation arrays, they decisively launched attacks on various areas.

The evil shadow spirits felt quite angry, and they decisively set up traps and deployed their forces in response to the unscrupulous hunting behavior of the dragon warriors.

Unfortunately, the dragon warriors with an average challenge level of 18+ (elite) easily crushed these large twisted monsters whose average challenge level did not exceed level 14.

The powerful combat effectiveness enhancement and protective effects brought by the Thunder Magic Armor help the Dragon Warriors feel like they are in an uninhabited land in the twisted jungle.

However, the dragon warriors did not become arrogant or careless because of this.

They either kill the enemy quickly, complete the mission objective, and then retreat as quickly as possible.

Either they did not fully complete the mission and decisively chose to retreat after reaching the time limit of no more than 10 minutes of combat time.

The dragon warriors who saw many attacks quickly killed large numbers of large twisted monsters and plants, greatly weakening the arrangement of the evil shadow spirits around the battlefield. The evil shadow spirits must start from now on and continue to hoard and transport twisted monsters and plants.

They must ensure that the total number of twisted monsters in this area can cooperate with the twisted tree spirits to fight together.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, they also specially mobilized a group of newly cultivated Catachan demons and scattered them around the battlefield.

In addition to sending soldiers to fight, the Gulf Territory also implemented more defensive methods.

Yaya's huge body, with terrifying power, slowly landed at the outer entrance of Aso Volcano.

Under the evil shadow spirit's gaze, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and blew out a firm breath of dragon's breath towards the edge of the crater.

The crater made of volcanic rock quickly turned red and melted away under the burning of the Destruction Dragon's Breath.

The hot magma flows downward.

It flowed down quickly along the dug ditch.

The rushing magma lit up the entire volcano.

They passed through the middle of the giant city and came to the outside of the city wall.

The continuous flow of magma heat quickly rolled to both sides along the dug trench, and gradually spread to all sides.

They emit bursts of scalding heat, which greatly enhances the power of the scorched earth array and makes the entire ground even hotter.

The scorched earth array hidden underground has also been modified and changed to a certain extent, which greatly slowed down the cooling rate of the magma and allowed it to flow continuously in the ditch.

Finally, they surrounded the entire huge Aso Volcano Fortress, forming a moat composed of magma.

All over the magma moat, the large excavation machinery in the Gulf Territory is constantly busy.

It takes about three or four hours.

Huge magma pools were excavated.

"Roar……!"

One after another, powerful dragons rushed out from the Aso Volcano Fortress.

They rushed into these magma pools and rolled around to their heart's content.

They seem to be preparing to use these magma areas as their lairs and build a more terrifying defense line.

Seeing that those already troublesome dragons actually had the ability to control flames and play with magma, the evil shadow spirits all felt troubled.

It is not an easy task for the Twisted Tree Spirit to deal with these ferocious sub-dragons alone.

The civil engineers in the Gulf Territory were not idle, manipulating mechanical golems of different sizes to drive out.

They quickly built mounds and forts in various areas covered by the scorched earth array.

The various artillery pieces erected above are being quickly adjusted and placed.

It is obvious that the Gulf Territory is preparing to push the range of fire strikes to a farther range.

But at this time, the evil shadow spirits did not have many ways to stop the Gulf Territory's actions.

They even have to carefully control the distribution of large twisted monsters to avoid being targeted and attacked by the Gulf Territory.

What made them even more cautious was that the adventurers who had received more instructions began to enter the Catachan jungle one after another.

The adventurers seized this opportunity to harvest and collect various rare jungle plants and materials.

The plant materials from the Catachan jungle are very effective. After being processed and eliminated from the toxicity, they have been welcomed by many pharmacists and alchemists.

Some special materials are also the targets of high-priced rewards offered by the Gulf Territory Druid Research Institute.

Mainly conduct research on planting and cultivating them, and develop high-value magic materials suitable for large-scale planting in the Gulf Territory.

The expanding cities and fortresses in the Gulf Territory have many secretly constructed planting areas.

Faced with the Gulf Territory's overwhelming pre-war preparations, the Evil Shadow Spirits also stepped up their reserves of troops.

6 month 29 day.

The demiplane of Catachan.

clear.

The sky was slightly green, and the pressure from the green tide was overwhelming.

In the lush twisted jungle, all kinds of twisted plants are growing vigorously.

They greedily devoured the hard-won nutrients, growing and growing faster than usual.

At the same time, they have also become more greedy and bloodthirsty.

Sharp roars continued to spread, and the twisted plants were attacking the twisted animals.

They get rid of the stiffness of their usual plant forms and become more active and twisted.

The restlessness in this area did not last long. The cobweb threads spreading from the ground had already controlled most of this area.

Twisted plants with intricately intertwined root systems are completely unable to resist this control that is far above them.

Soon, they were "stimulated" to become more "active" in their bodies.

They quickly "gathered" together, suppressing their usual urge to kill each other, and under the control of the command, they swarmed into the distance in droves.

They are like waves, rushing in mightily.

Looking around, it looks like a green ocean.

Dozens of dark red bloodthirsty vines greedily devoured the incoming twisted plants.

These usually strong and twisted plants were quickly broken open after being stained by the bloodthirsty vines.

The internal structures and tissues of their bodies melted rapidly, and were then absorbed by the powerful bloodthirsty vines.

The absorbed nutrients are transmitted along the pipeline inside the bloodthirsty vine to the huge body of the twisted tree spirit.

The twisted tree spirit, which had become dry and thin due to the long journey, quickly became plump and plump in its dry parts.

Especially the dry top branches quickly sprouted fresh green buds.

These green buds glow slightly, as if undergoing some special change.

After a while, fist-sized black and green fruits popped out from the middle of the green buds.

As it absorbs more and more nutrients, these fruits continue to expand and grow.

A hideous and terrifying human face was vaguely visible on it.

Matthew, who saw this scene from a distance, raised his eyebrows subconsciously, recalling those bloodthirsty monsters transformed from horrific twisted seeds, and said in a calm tone:

"Catachan shooters and snipers, keep an eye on these twisted fruits and be sure to shoot them down in the air."

"Once the twisted fruit lands on the ground, it will quickly take root and sprout, growing bloodthirsty vines that activate very quickly."

"The bloodthirsty vine is flexible and tough, dangerous and bloodthirsty. Once it swallows enough flesh and nutrients, it will immediately transform into a bloodthirsty monster woven from the bloodthirsty vine."

"The bloodthirsty monster has various abilities of the bloodthirsty vine. It can move away from the plant, and it can launch attacks from the bloodthirsty vine at medium and long distances."

"Kill these twisted seeds first, use long-range attacks and fire burning."

"Once you encounter a bloodthirsty monster, you must call the Dragon Warrior to deal with it!"

Matthew's reminder was quickly transmitted to everyone's magic watches, allowing commanders everywhere to immediately make more detailed missions and combat arrangements.

The combat missions of the Gulf Territory are not static, but will be modified and improved accordingly according to changes in the enemy and battlefield situations.

There are 15 Twisted Tree Spirits in total, each one representing the legendary pinnacle of powerful combat power.

Faced with such a dangerous enemy, even Matthew must plan well.

However, Matthew did not feel too scared or worried.

He believed that the Gulf Territory combat troops and war command headquarters, which had withstood many tests, could withstand the enemy's attacks.

Light green light shines on Mount Aso.

Onyxia, who noticed the huge movement, carefully climbed to the crater and stared at the green ocean coming to life in the distance with eyesight far beyond that of ordinary people.

Even though this was not the first time she saw this scene, she still felt a sense of sincere fear and panic.

This is a world that has never appeared in her inherited memories, and it is also a danger that she has never encountered in her memories.

Onyxia didn't know where the enemy came from, but she just had a vague sense of fatal crisis.

Her eyes passed over the dragons emerging from the magma pool, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes, and she couldn't help but murmur in her heart:

"What kind of world is this?"

"Can we continue to live?"

Just at this moment, the green tide in the distance moved.

A vast swarm of twisted plants and monsters rushed towards the Aso Volcano Fortress.

Onyxia watched as they stepped onto the red dry earth, and burning green smoke emitted from the parts in contact with the ground.

She even vaguely smelled the stench of being burned, and her already uneasy heart slowly began to rise.

boom! boom! boom!

The deafening sound suddenly spread across the entire land.

Onyxia looked at the cannons that were spitting out flames and cannonballs, focusing on the flying cannonballs.

The rotating cannonball smashed into the middle of the twisted monster and exploded with a bang.

The terrifying impact and fragments tore apart a large number of twisted plants and monsters in the blink of an eye.

Looking around, a ring of flesh and blood fragments appeared within the range of the artillery bombardment.

Such a powerful killing power made Onyxia, who was a little disapproving at first, widen her eyes.

In her mind, she couldn't help but think of all kinds of knowledge and calculation methods.

"Parabol, resistance, angle..."

"Fire, explosion, secondary explosion..."

Although Onyxia still doesn't understand the technical details of the magic cannon explosion, she already understands its basic principles.

She never imagined that seemingly useless knowledge could undergo such ingenious changes after being combined.

However, Onyxia soon discovered that even three rows of dwarf artillery were bombarding her in turn.

It is still unable to stop the advance of twisted plants and monsters, there are simply too many of them.

There are still gaps in the coverage of artillery fire.

To Onyxia's expectation, after about 6 rounds of firing, the artillery was dragged back by the golem armored truck in the Gulf Territory.

She looked at the remains of the killed twisted monsters in the distance, being swallowed and absorbed by the twisted monsters rushing up, and she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.

She definitely doesn't want to be turned into food!

Just when Onyxia felt a little anxious, the Golem armored truck, which had retreated about 1 kilometer, stopped again.

The soldiers of the Gulf Territory quickly adjusted the firing angle of the artillery, aimed at the rushing twisted monster, and opened fire together without hesitation.

The roar of cannonballs resounded across the wilderness.

The twisted monster rushing at the front was severely crushed by the cannonballs.

Onyxia frowned and couldn't help but mutter in her heart:

"The opponent can reuse flesh and blood anyway, wouldn't this attack method be too effective?"

Onyxia looked at the scene of the artillery unit firing about 8 rounds and retreating again. She no longer struggled with this issue, and began to think about the deeper meaning of the Gulf Territory combat unit.

Why the constant shooting?

Does the other party's absorption and reuse also cause losses?

If there is no city to defend, using mobile artillery units in open areas can cause continuous fire suppression against enemies that continue to charge...

But when you encounter such an enemy, how should you deal with it?

While Onyxia was thinking hard, the golem armored truck that had completed its retreat this time parked next to a group of large golem machines.

call!call!call!

The huge mechanical arm loaded with fierce fire oil was thrown forward with all its strength.

Onyxia looked at the broken fire oil barrel, revealing a large area of ​​dark viscous liquid.

The gushing flames instantly ignited these viscous liquids.

They turned into a rising wall of fire, engulfing the twisted plants and monsters stained with fuel.

Barrels after barrels of fierce fire oil were quickly thrown over, making the rushing flames become more dazzling.

Onyxia's eyes reflected the moving flames, and her eyes immediately fell on the metal figure running forward.

"Dragon Warrior..."

Onyxia has seen dragon warriors before, but never had close contact with them.

Every dragon warrior she had seen brought considerable pressure to her.

She had a vague feeling in her heart that if the other party was willing, it was very possible to kill her.

It was under all kinds of pressure that Onyxia grew rapidly.

In just over half a month, she has grown to 5 meters long and has a challenge level of 10.

However, Onyxia has not yet taken office, because Fang has chosen the path of arcanist for her.

The reason is very simple. Onyxia has a smart brain and excellent intelligence attributes, so she must make good use of her.

If it turns into a muscular dragon that can only fight hand to hand.

It's just a flying Fang No. 1.

Nothing good will come of it!

Well, with the qualifications and strength of Yaya's Chosen Dragon, he is qualified to say such a thing!

The dragon warriors rushed forward and killed the twisted plants and monsters coming towards them.

In a bare clearing, they just had to kill everything that moved.

But it's much simpler than fighting in the dangerous Catachan jungle.

The civil engineers who were cleaning the battlefield rushed over and operated the machinery to recover the available materials.

The Gulf Territory has never been afraid of a war of attrition, just afraid that others will not come to their doorstep.

The evil shadow spirits, blessed by the green tide, looked at the burning flames and patiently continued to send "resources". They did not send out large twisted monsters and plants for the time being.

The Dragon Warriors, who had cleaned up and harvested a large amount of supplies, retreated to a position within 500 meters of the bombing range.

Wait for the next batch of twisted monsters to use their flesh and blood to break up the wall of flames that is not replenished by the fire oil.

When the roar of artillery and the throwing of heavy fire oil sounded again.

The dragon warriors rushed forward immediately!

Harvest repeatedly, make enough money first and then talk!

The stunned Onyxia looked at the twisted monsters that were being wiped out in large numbers, and couldn't help but murmur to herself:

"Can fighting still be like this?"

Matthew looked away from her and looked at the message from the magic watch.

"32 Catachan tribes were besieged at the same time..."

"Tsk, with more troops, we have more confidence."

"However, your troops are not enough!"

　Today 8000

　　Asking for monthly ticket

　　Rush!
