Long Live the Call of Heroes

After walking a few hundred meters, Li Wei felt that he might understand the difficulty of this dungeon.

Not only because of the harsh environment or powerful demons, but also because of some dangerous aborigines in this dungeon.

For example, right now, there are countless monsters whose specific faces cannot be seen clearly, surrounded by a certain amount of darkness and thick fog, and partially shattered phantoms, rushing towards them like a tide.

They approached silently, and as they passed by, they absorbed the sound and light of the surroundings.

This led to the fact that at the very beginning, even the best scouting mousers failed to detect the existence of each other, and several of them were instantly killed one after another.

They didn't know that such a large number of special enemies were constantly approaching until Luna was the first to wake up.

But Luna's coquettish voice did not spread far, because the other party's absorption of the voice was unexpectedly far away.

But despite this, Li Wei still received the alarm and immediately ordered the troops to attack.

Then they discovered that these enemies surrounded by darkness, because they were surrounded by a lot of phantoms and darkness, most of their attacks fell into the sea like mud cows, and they couldn't make any waves at all, because they failed to hit the opponent's body.

Even if there are occasional successful hits, the damage is not high.

Both the opponent's physical defense and magic resistance are ridiculously strong, almost all of them are equivalent to ordinary level 5 enemies.

At the same time, their attack methods are quite special. They protrude multiple cold tentacles from their misty bodies, or whip them, or entangle them. Occasionally, they will try to drag their melee troops into the darkness around them. .

All allies attacked by the attack will suffer physical damage, cold damage and shadow damage at the same time.

Among them, enemies who are larger and obviously stronger will also have negative states such as deceleration and weakness in their attacks.

And probably because of the sounds and vibrations caused by the battle here, not long after the battle started, new enemies kept coming from all directions, besieging them.

They have all kinds of strange appearances, including humanoids, beasts, and miscellaneous things that seem to be put together at random, but the only thing in common is that they are surrounded by darkness, mist, and phantoms, and they are also very strange. Resist beating.

Li Wei immediately frowned. These monsters are not like the army of demons. They still have a limited number and are so difficult to deal with. It is not good to delay for a long time.

However, after careful observation, Li Wei already had a rough guess in his mind.

He immediately ordered Lily to use the third-level magic - flash burst very decisively.

Although these guys have weird attack methods and a very special appearance, they are misty and phantom, but aren't they actually elemental creatures?
Perhaps they should be called mutated phantom elements?Well, it's not quite accurate, their phantoms look more like they can only be used as passive skills, so are they mutated shadow elements?

Lily was naturally the first to respond. After being assigned to the Underdark Region, she knew that unless she really performed very well, she might only be reduced to a second-line role in the future, and she would not be able to follow Lord Li Wei to fight everywhere. .

But now, she finally has a chance to play!
With a scream, the still gray magic erupted, but the dozen or so phantom elements that were affected all let out screams in unison.

The large fog around them was dispelled, revealing their real bodies.

Their upper body is humanoid, and their lower body is dragging a cloud-like and floating dark body, but overall, it is not much different from the appearance of some middle and high-level elemental creatures.

Moreover, their body shape and appearance will also change with the change of class. The stronger the strength, the bigger it is, and the closer it is to a human shape. This is also the characteristic of most elemental creatures.

I don't know why, but almost all creatures will try their best to pursue the human form after possessing a certain amount of wisdom and strength, perhaps because the number of human gods is the largest.

Lucia suddenly shouted in a little surprise: "Li Wei, I know this kind of monsters. They are shadow elements, and their strength will be strengthened in the dark. At the same time, they also have incorporeal characteristics like ghosts!"

"However, there will be no phantoms on ordinary shadow elements, and they should also be affected by the special environment here!"

Li Wei suddenly laughed. Now that the opponent's weakness has been clarified, what else is there to say?
Except for some heroic warriors from the kingdom of the gods, almost all creatures with incorporeal characteristics are of the evil camp!
With Li Wei's order, many subordinates began to change their fighting strategies.

He himself directly used skills such as Ice Storm and Fireball transformed by the holy power, while Cindy turned to use special skills such as Spear of Pure Goodness or Mind Blast.

Some stronger and advanced priests began to use ghost-breaking elegy, trying to forcibly transform the opponent into an entity temporarily.

In this way, physical units such as fighters of one's own side can deal damage to them very effectively.

Shengguang Yakong also started to use strong light rays. Their rank is very low. Only this attack skill can play a good role against shadow elements. They can also dispel the darkness and fog around the opponent.

In addition, the attacks of the blood elf spellbreakers can still be effective.

Although their skills are not high in attack power, they are extremely versatile. So far, except for some legal units that can occasionally cast magic shields, almost all other units will be hurt by them.

Similarly, weapons such as Elegy and Alduin began to replace weapons enchanted with light, and many archers also used scrolls such as Arrow of Light.

With the continuous growth of Li Wei's power and financial resources, the various combat materials he provided to his subordinates became more and more abundant, in order to be able to fight against them more effectively no matter what kind of enemy they faced.

In this way, the advantages of the shadow elements were wiped out almost instantly.

Although their own strength is quite good, they are basically large-scale shadow elements of the 4th rank, with a few stronger giant shadow elements mixed in from time to time, and even the elders of the 6th rank.

But in the face of Li Wei's offensive like a raging wave, it is still difficult to last long.

Li Wei also changed a variety of magic, and finally came to the conclusion that in addition to the light system, their resistance to ice and electricity is relatively weak, but their resistance to fire is a bit strong.

Seeing that although the number of shadow elements was still extremely large, they could no longer pose a real threat to his own side, so Li Wei slowed down his movements a little.

In fact, with his current level, killing these monsters that are generally lower than level 5 already has serious experience debuffs.

Unless he slaughtered hundreds or thousands at one time, the experience value would not change much, and he had gradually reached a certain bottleneck.

If you want to upgrade as soon as possible, you still have to challenge powerful enemies.

For example, Zefu, the inner ghost who was instantly killed by him, made his experience value jump directly.

But for ordinary enemies like now, let's give more opportunities to the subordinates.

Both Cindy and Luna are in urgent need of a lot of experience points. They are all special professions, and their strength will change significantly every time they level up.

Similarly, Sally, Alyssa, Lily, and even Avalon and the blood elves are all working hard, trying to reach their bottleneck as soon as possible, and then get the chance to become a hero.

In fact, Li Wei has also discovered that as he successively occupied a city and a town, the mentality of many subordinates has changed to a certain extent.

In short, they are more confident about the future, so most of the time they don't need Li Wei to speak, they are working hard and desperately.

After thinking about it, he asked Angel Baris to try to use dispel magic on the shadow elements several times.

He wanted to confirm whether the phantoms around their bodies were talents they acquired due to mutation, or some kind of skills they used, or were they buffed by some special items nearby?

After several experiments, Li Wei has been able to roughly determine that this is some kind of temporary buff state, so dispelling magic can be easily eliminated.

In this way, he immediately had some clues.

Seeing that the number of shadow elements began to decrease under his own attack, he also signaled to Cindy and the others to hold back for a while and not to kill them all.

Although most elemental creatures do not have emotions such as fear, they may also choose to flee when the battle is extremely unfavorable.

Perhaps at that time, one's own side can follow the vines and find the opponent's lair, and even the source of giving them phantom power.

Naturally, other people would not have any objections, and they soon discovered that these shadow elements really started to escape, but they ran in completely different directions, and they were everywhere.

If you chase them over and check them one by one, not to mention whether you will encounter any danger or enemies on the road again, I am afraid it will consume a lot of time.

After all, they only have 500 people in total, so they can't spread their strength too much.

After a little consideration, Li Wei chose to focus on tracking those beast-shaped shadow elements. Their instinct should still be greater than wisdom and rationality.

In this way, it really had some effect, and they quickly tracked down multiple suspicious locations, including several lairs, several valleys, and a temple that seemed to have fallen from the sky.

Without any hesitation at all, Li Wei directly decided to go to the last location. Of course, the things of the goddess are most likely to be stored in the temple!
While advancing, Li Wei also kept sending out scouts to check the movements of the devils.

It's a pity that there is almost no gain, they seem to disappear out of thin air.

It was obviously a confrontation-oriented dungeon, but because of the special environment here, they have not been able to formally fight until now.

But if he can get the goddess' treasure so smoothly, Li Wei doesn't mind.

Soon, following Luna's guidance, they gradually approached a broken temple with the same gray and black as the main color.

As she said before, the temple seemed to have fallen from the sky, coupled with the large number of wreckage and a lush forest around it, they couldn't find the entrance in a short time.

In fact, being able to discover the ruins here so quickly is also thanks to the monitoring archons, who are flying in mid-air.

Although the trees here are very thick, it is probably because of the species. They are generally not high, and the tallest is only about 10 meters.

Just when Li Wei was about to let the main force be stationed nearby, and then let people take a closer look, Lucia suddenly gave a warning: "Li Wei, wait a minute, there is something wrong with those trees!"

"Ok?"

Li Wei didn't pay attention to it at first, but after observing it carefully, he also noticed something was wrong.

The Phantom Goddess was assassinated a few days ago, and the time for her temple and treasures to fall here was very short. Why do these big trees seem to grow around the ruins of the temple?

Not to mention that the power of God is not so easily accepted by mortal things, and he doesn't know when the Phantom Goddess has the ability of life or nature.

So the biggest possibility is that these trees are disguised by some monsters!
Seeing Li Wei also felt suspicious, Lucia nodded towards him: "I suspect that they are unique monsters in the shadow world-the instant executioner!"

This involves Li Wei's knowledge blind spot. Except for a very few partial mages, the only ones who know the most in the shadow world are the followers of Mask.

But no matter what, it is always right to be careful first.

Fortunately, Lucia immediately gave a detailed explanation: "They now look like parts of some big trees, but in fact the stomachs and branches of those monsters are actually their tentacles, and they really fight like octopuses. "

"The bricks, stones, flowers and plants on the surrounding ground must also be part of the opponent's body."

"Because they like to devour corpses, they also have the ability to imprison the souls of enemies, so they are also called Soul Eater Trees!"

Looking at the densely packed branches and the ground pointed by Lucia, Li Wei's scalp also felt a little numb.

Good guy, it's no wonder that these trees look so short, few of them are more than 10 meters high, but how many Soul Eater trees are hidden in such a dense forest?
How many thousands?Or tens of thousands?
And let's not talk about strength, if one's own side goes straight into the opponent's stomach, isn't it just ordinary people sliding and shoveling tigers, and it's purely delivery?

"What are their weaknesses and strengths?"

Lucia snapped her fingers and said: "I don't like strong light, my movement speed is very slow, and I can't attack the air. Before being attacked, I will basically fall into a semi-dormant state."

Then she changed her voice: "But judging from the size of these guys, quite a few of them have been advanced, maybe even more than once, and the weaknesses may be made up for a lot."

"As for strengths, because there are too many tentacles, their attack frequency will be far higher than that of troops of the same level, and people with insufficient strength may be directly dragged into their stomachs."

Li Wei frowned even more. Generally speaking, enemies with slower movement speeds would not be too weak in defense. To kill these Soul Eater Demon Trees, going to the middle of the ruins of the temple was much more difficult than cutting down a forest.

Even if the opponent remains still and allows one's own side to attack, I don't know how long it will take.

It's fine in normal times, but now there is still an army of devils here.

However, with so many Soul Eater Demon Trees as guards, there must be extremely important treasures in the ruins, which might be the ultimate reward for this dungeon.

Thinking of this, Li Wei suddenly had an idea.

If you can manipulate a little bit, attract the army of demons, let them fight, and no matter who wins or loses in the end, won't it be beneficial to yourself?
