Chapter 543: Marking Enhancement
Three days, three days, along the Snow Ridge Ranch, not counting the frontier areas that were not too dangerous for ordinary adventurers on weekdays, Mu Hua only swept through the monster strongholds within a hundred miles or so.
The fraud demon area that Mu Hua had previously designated as a teleportation point suffered another devastating blow.
Dozens of fire spirits burning with the flames of life burned everything there, but Tina happened to advance here and completely destroyed this friendly village that claimed to be a place where humans and demons coexist.
The flame of life transformed the creatures in the village into aggregates of fire elements that would disappear in a short time, and they spread the hot fire to the surrounding areas.
On the vast land, Mu Hua led all kinds of monsters to spread death, and even Doris was released to cast sleeping spells.
There was no greeting, no persuasion to surrender, it was a war with the simple purpose of killing. Mu Hua swept away all the non-human creatures he encountered along the way.
Hellhounds, skeletons, ghosts, and corpses. Doris walks the earth in the form of a demon, and Tina also transforms into a fire demon. There are few people in Mu Hua's team who look like humans.
For the time being, Mu Hua did not use his petrifying eyes on the monsters. Even if he encountered some fortified gathering places of monsters, Mu Hua would use brute force to kill them.
There is no need to capture the monsters here for the time being, firstly because most of them are not of high quality, and secondly, Mu Hua has not yet arrived at the stronghold where the city is to be built.
Mu Hua was waiting for the monster army led by the Ice Queen Leticia to counterattack. The offensive he launched now was basically equivalent to tearing up the regional combat power limitation agreement between humans and Snow Ridge Ranch.
He was clearing the monsters at the front line of Snow Ridge Ranch, and as the commander, Leticia should also organize the army to attack him, and it is even possible that Leticia could appear anywhere in the courtyard.
Once the chaotic war begins, while humans are killing, demon generals like Leticia will be like wild beasts with their collars and chains loosened. What will be involved afterwards is more likely to be tactics and strategic planning of the battle situation.
Among the four areas in the first half of Caines, Mu Hua was the first to fire the first shot of the all-out war at Snow Ridge Ranch. In the past few days, the other areas were not as ostentatious as Mu Hua, and everyone even concealed their whereabouts to a certain extent.
As for Mu Hua, everything else is fine. The huge figure wandering in the low-risk area of Snow Ridge Ranch on Thursday has already made everything clear.
Demons, Mu Hua has so many demons. Originally, after seeing Thursday, people would think of Mu Hua with the seventh place.
After all, compared to the undead who are closer to the Pale Lord, Leviathan is actually the symbol of jealousy, and that one also has the title of Leviathan King.
However, when seeing the hellhounds and monsters that Mu Hua pulled out, thinking about the demons that he usually killed after using them, and then looking at the tail dragging behind him, some people seriously suspected that this kid was actually the illegitimate child of the first person.
The southern border of Snow Ridge Ranch was set on fire. At this stage, Mu Hua's subordinates at Snow Ridge Ranch were mainly using fire magic.
All of Monday's hellhounds have bought some fire magic skill stones.
Even though Mu Hua often uses highly-trained magic, these hellhounds that have mastered one or two defensive magics and multiple fire magics can definitely be considered elite among the monsters in the courtyard.
The number of the three hundred skeleton mages did not increase much. During the years on the Abyss Island, Mu Hua was mainly focusing on the Black-Armored Skeleton General and the Headless Knight.
As for the problem of the adaptability of the skeleton undead's magic, in addition to the imprint enhancement that he had just completed, Mu Hua could also use elemental tears or some skill stones to catalyze and enhance them.
The only advantage of the Skeleton Mage is probably that his natural growth tends to be towards intelligence, and it is also easier to improve his intelligence through practice. This is an advantage that Mu Hua cannot reverse no matter how he transforms and strengthens the regular skeleton undead.
However, if a headless knight is directly derived, his initial intelligence is only enough for a low-end skeleton mage to practice for decades. Considering the situation that Mu Hua needs to face for the time being, the cost-effectiveness of raising a high-end skeleton mage is too low.
If it is not necessary, unless it is a creature like the Dragon Tooth Soldier, Mu Hua basically will not invest his limited resources in hunting down Skeleton Warriors.
Monsters were throwing wide-area magic everywhere, and Tina had transformed into a fire demon. As the offensive continued, Mu Hua seemed to be turning the Snow Ridge Ranch into a scorched earth.
Regardless of whether it was the possibility of a counterattack from high-level monsters, or the magic thrown around by Mu Hua's "own people", this kind of offensive also resulted in no adventurers coming here to advance the battle with Mu Hua and the others.
Although destruction to nature is inevitable in the early stages of a full-scale war, now wherever Mu Hua and his companions pass, there are fires everywhere, like stars with the earth as the background.
This is the situation before the war with the real army has even started, especially around the monster strongholds. Even if there is no war in the future, it will take at least three to five years for there to be no grass growing there.
Basically no one came here to "play" with Mu Hua, and as for the recovery and transportation of the spoils, the drivers would not come even if they were paid extra.
In the end, Mu Hua could only call on his skeleton warriors who had learned to drive, and drove transport vehicles back and forth between the Snow Ridge Ranch and the Fortress City, in order to show off the rich spoils of the Snow Ridge Ranch and try to attract some adventurers who valued money over their lives. . .
"Boss, I encountered a captive Behemoth here. It looks like it has been tortured by demons. Do you want to take a look?"
Crouching on Thursday's body and patrolling the battle line, Mu Hua was also waiting for some high-end monsters to come and trouble him. Tina's slightly rough voice rang in the earphone. His hand trembled, and the enhanced imprint he was performing on a skeleton mage failed. Mu Hua frowned.
"Behemoth? Hot spring town?" Mu Hua asked, pressing the patch on his neck habitually. "Well, are you going to kill me?" Tina's answer seemed to be mixed with the roar of a wild beast.
"Let me go and take a look." Mu Hua shook his head, and Thursday moved his body, twisting his tail stinger, and changing direction in the sky.
Behemoth is a creature that is hard to tell whether it is a Warcraft or an orc. Its IQ is not high and its behavior patterns are more like those of wild beasts.
But they are physically strong, and the orcs classify them as the same kind. They can be regarded as the strongest melee individuals among the orcs, but they themselves prefer to stay with the monsters.
This kind of creature appeared in the Snow Ridge Ranch, and it was basically in the state of being trained by the devil. Although guys like Behemoth don't like devils, they look down on humans even more.
But at least it was a lively Behemoth. Mu Hua planned to see if he could tame it. Even if not, at least he could smelt a Tear of Earth Element from it.
The hot spring village is located northwest of the Xueling Ranch, more than 200 kilometers north of the current front line. It is a rest point reserved by Mu Hua. Tina went deep into the area alone, and it seemed that she was the first to clean up the place.
Monday was responsible for carrying out the mopping-up operation in the rear, while Thursday flew towards the hot spring village with Mu Hua.
Thursday looked bulky, but its flying speed was not slow. While on the way, Mu Hua once again pressed his palm on the head of the skeleton mage squatting in front of him.
Marking enhancement combines the special abilities of marking magic, skeleton transformation, elemental empowerment and elemental spirits. This is not an offensive magic, but its function is to transform the skeleton undead into an elemental attribute.
When the ability was unfolded, the complex magic circle did not unfold in the void, but spread on the body of the skeleton wizard like magic patterns, inputting pure magic power, and also introducing some related techniques of soul transformation.
Although this ability is generated by the four kinds of magic, if the magic enhancement and soul transformation are not practiced enough, even if you have this ability, it will be difficult to complete the transformation of the skeleton undead.
"Hu~!" The magic circle acted on the skeleton mage like an engraving. As the magic circle merged with the skeleton mage, a flame overflowed from the skeleton mage's eye sockets.
The flame, the fire, is not the illusory soul fire in the skull, but the real fire.
Along with the flames overflowing from the eye sockets, magical inscriptions appeared on the bones of the Skeleton Mage in front of him, and wisps of flames overflowed from those inscriptions and spread to the entire body of the Skeleton Mage.
If the Skeleton Mage had not deliberately restrained himself, it would have been covered in flames by now, instead of just having the red magic patterns spreading across its skeleton.
Ghost Rider? You know what, it really looks a bit like Ghost Rider with tattoos...
Flame Skeleton. As the spell was completed, the ordinary skeleton general turned into a flame skeleton.
The purpose of engraving enhancement is to transform the skeleton undead into this kind of elemental skeleton. For now, Mu Hua has only kryptonian the spirit of fire, so he can only transform the skeleton undead into the fire element for the time being.
This ability is classified as jealousy, but it is also related to gluttony. It is probably because it can only work on skeletons and undead, so it is defined as a component of the original sin of jealousy.
The skeleton mages transformed into flame skeletons can be said to have become half fire spirits. While they are immune to damage from fire elements, they have extremely strong control over the application of fire magic.
The flames burning on their bodies will not consume their own magic power. Like the fire demon, the skeleton mage in front of him is himself a fire magic that can burn the enemy.
Each skeleton undead can only undergo one kind of engraving enhancement. With this kind of skeleton wizard following him, he can cast fire magic unscrupulously without fear of accidentally burning them all.
After he has kryptonian the spirit of earth element, Mu Hua plans to imprint the earth element on the headless knights. When the time comes, when he takes the headless knights with him, using the petrifying magic eye will not have any adverse effects on them.
Only one type of imprint enhancement can be chosen, and magic adaptability should not be mentioned for now. Just talking about elemental affinity, this allows Mu Hua to save a huge amount of elemental tears on the skeleton undead.
Moreover, if there are some beings that Mu Hua likes, he can get some elemental tears of other attributes, which can also strengthen their affinity with the elements of other attributes.
The ability of engraving and strengthening has greatly made up for the shortcomings of the skeleton undead themselves, and can even be regarded as a perfection of their elemental resistance and magical adaptability.
Sometimes Mu Hua would fantasize that maybe only after the engraving and strengthening were completed, these guys could be considered complete skeleton undead?
Patting the skeleton mage who was half-kneeling in front of him, Mu Hua wanted the magic dragon.
The black dragon that Wednesday parasitizes is expected to become the 'big cousin of World of Warcraft'. He nicknamed Wednesday Deathwing, although Monday and Tuesday generally sneered at that nickname.
When I make dragons in the future, I will carve the mark of ice on them. Tsk tsk, since my father passed away early, Mu Hua is considering getting himself an ice crown or something, so that he can form a CP with the frost dragons?
