Section 3 Elf Magic Chess (Part 2)
Taxman heard it when Wang Qinian's first scream rang out.
"What's going on?" He grabbed his usual steel axe. He was a warrior, and his usual weapons were a one-handed axe and a large shield.
"It seems that someone wants to make us a decision." Zanqi said coldly, "I want to make us go before we return to Moto."
Cockland frowned, but before he could speak, Taxman's eyes were red, "What are you waiting for? Go out and see who is so brave, even the skeleton thing wants to move!"
Duncan, a dark businessman who annexed the Cockland Slave Capture Team, is a big force in the underground world. He can barely be called a behemoth in slave capture and weapon sales. His logo is a skeleton, so when others mention it, they are used to using skeletons to represent it.
Taxman jumped out of the tent, and Cockland's eyebrows moved, "How much movement have you prepared? How long can you drag Taxman?"
"Eight consecrated wolves are enough to hold Taxman up and make him believe that someone really wants to attack us." Zanqi said with some pain.
These eight condom wolves are one of Zanqi's hidden means and have never been exposed in front of others. Cockland only knows it now.
Cockland looked at Zanqi in surprise, but he was not surprised that Zanqi had eight condoms and wolves now, but was a little surprised at the capital he had placed.
Constructed wolves are relatively common among constructed creatures. In addition to the defense given by their own materials, they only have the ability to bite and grab and pounce like biological wolves. Their intelligence is only a little higher than that of dogs and can accept some simple commands.
The constructed creature was invented by alchemists, and was originally intended to create some servants to serve themselves. People who work in alchemy were quite lazy in life.
Later, in the continuous improvement, the constructed creatures were given higher intelligence and stronger power to defend themselves, moving from life to combat.
The development direction of constructed creatures is not that the bigger the more expensive it is, but that it depends on the purpose. Miniaturized constructed creatures are good helpers for reconnaissance and alertness. Large-scale constructed creatures such as steel golems and giant guards are also known for their expensive prices. If they are given special abilities or higher than conventional intelligence in addition to standardization, it is not surprising that the price will increase several times.
Even so, the eight condom wolf surprised Cockland. The price of a condom wolf is no less expensive than a wood elf slave.
Elf slaves are known for their rareness, but there are also few constructed creatures.
"You're crazy, eight condom wolf, Taxman can't beat it." Cockland suddenly remembered a more serious problem.
Even ordinary constructed creatures cannot be easily dealt with by the slave hunters, even Taxman may suffer losses.
"It is not a complete organism, but it is actually seriously damaged. I bought it from Gilmore, each of which is only one fifth of the original price. I have been trying to repair them for so many years, but I have never been completely successful, but it can still be used. Don't worry, I only issued a first-level instruction to one of them, and the other seven second-level instructions I issued, they will not be a rival to Taxman, but there is no problem to hold him up for a while."
A constructed wolf is a simple constructed creature that can only accept level three instructions, and the first-level instructions include killing.
The condom wolves that Zanqi got were from Gilmore, a dark businessman.
The Dark Merchant is doing these business, and the role model in this industry is Duncan, who has annexed the slave hunting team, and Gilmore is much worse than him.
Gilmore had some constructed creatures with severe damage, which were obtained from the alchemist. The original owner was too lazy to spend time repairing, or the cost of completely repairing was almost enough to create a constructed creature again.
Gilmo bought these incomplete constructed creatures and repaired them. He used hardwood to make up the steel part. As long as the magic crystal and driving magic patterns in the constructed creatures are not damaged, all functions can still be restored, but the defense has been greatly reduced.
This kind of constructed creature that has been successfully repaired can generally be sold for one-third of the original price. What is troublesome are those constructed creatures that lack magic crystals and driving magic patterns.
Magic crystal is the energy source of most magic arrays. Without it, it is difficult to act in constructing creatures unless there is another way to solve their energy source.
The price of magic crystal is also quite expensive. The higher the purity, the higher the price.
The value of a constructed creature lies in four categories: design ideas, magic crystals, core driving magic patterns, and carrier substances that make up the constructed creature.
The value of constructed organisms of different types and uses is also different in these four aspects.
Needless to say, the design idea is very rare, or a constructed creature that has never been seen before, the most precious thing is that in its design idea, the original design drawings should be the most valuable.
Magic crystal is necessary for any constructed creature. On the premise of ensuring sufficient energy provided to the constructed creature, reducing the volume of crystal is a headache for every constructed creature. The larger the volume, the more energy is required. The size of the volume will limit the design idea and affect the final manufacturing cost. High-purity magic crystal is a perfect solution, but this means a soaring cost.
The core driving magic pattern is the soul of the constructed creature. The increasingly high intellectual requirements for the constructed creatures make the core driving magic pattern more and more important.
Carrier substances determine the degree of firmness of the constructed organisms and their adaptability to the environment. If you have more money, you can still use extremely rare materials to make them. This is another way to improve the ability of the constructed organisms.
Zanqi is not rich. Of course, he cannot buy constructed creatures at a price comparable to an elf slave, so he bought twenty incomplete constructed creatures at less than one-fifth of the original price, and then tried to repair them himself. No one knew that he had been an apprentice under a dark alchemist before becoming a dark magician.
In the end, he could not repair all the constructed wolves, and the middle was completely damaged to the point where most of them were irreparable. However, he used carrier materials to repair most of the eight core-driven magic patterns, and then loaded with magic crystals to move. However, he could only use iron sheets and hardwood to repair them. Not to mention that it was extremely ugly, and the combat power of the constructed wolves was reduced by a fraction. There was no problem with dealing with ordinary slave hunters. If he met Taxman, who had magical structures and was proficient in combat, he could only delay time.
"The rest depends on John and Irving. We should rush over as planned, so as not to be suspicious by Taxman. Your decorative wolves have to sacrifice." Cockland said.
Taxman was roaring, and he rushed to the entrance of the town as fast as possible.
The entire town has a soil wall of less than two meters, and it has no defensive power at all, so it is a little stronger than ordinary villages. The village is usually a wooden fence of about one meter.
Taxman went there with anger. This is how the underground world is. Dark merchants stumbling on each other, and black eating and black things happen often.
Duncan, the owner behind him, also made his fortune by making his name with these means, but after the name of skeleton was officially formed, few people have challenged him head-on.
Compared with Cockland and Zanzi's unwillingness, Taxman is Duncan's loyal subordinate and the person sent by Duncan to supervise the slave captive team on the surface.
He looks rough on the outside, but he is actually not a fool, because he will definitely not live now if he is a fool.
Although Cockland and Zanzi did not dare to directly attack the people sent by Duncan, the risk was too great, and if they failed, they would face a devastating blow from Duncan. However, the idea of using the target's hand to remove him when catching slaves may not have been gone, but Taxman is still alive until now.
Taxman was a little wary about the fact that Cockland had set up another guard team in the town, but the order was Cockland, and the elves slaves were indeed of great value. If this transaction could be completed, Cockland's slave hunting team would have improved under Duncan's command.
This means more money. Even if the slave hunting team only extracts a part of the share, it is more expensive than before. For Taxman, it is also a meritorious service, and perhaps he can get a second magic pattern structure?
So when an accident happened, when Wang Qinian's scream sounded, Taxman was the first to jump out and was about to arrive in the City of Freedom. There must be no accident at the last moment.
However, before he could reach the entrance of the town, and when he was still on the road, the wall next to him collapsed and two black shadows rushed towards him.
Taxman swung the steel shield in his hand and smashed it hard at the black shadow on the left.
These two black shadows are one big and one small, the big one is nearly two meters, while the small one is only about one meter six.
A strange shadow like a branch suddenly appeared on the two black shadows, and then the heavy pressure collided with the steel shield, making a dull sound.
The sound of hardwood breaking came, and it turned out that the branches-like shadows on the two black shadows were actually their limbs and the simple weapons they held.
The simple weapon made of wood was destroyed by Taxman's steel shield and one-handed axe. Taxman was a warrior and was known for his strength. After the weapon was broken, the smaller black shadow was then swung away by the steel shield.
But Taxman couldn't successfully pursue it, because the bigger shadow entangled it.
After the single-handed axe made of stainless steel cut off the opponent's simple hardwood weapon, the second axe cut into the black shadow's body. The opponent's body surface had a certain hardness. Even Taxman's powerful axe felt a sense of sluggishness, as if it was not cutting into the flesh, but rotten wood.
After breaking the hard shell, it went very smoothly, which shows that the black shadow is just the case is relatively hard.
But what is amazing is that the big black shadow had a strange force, which instantly overturned Taxman to the ground and pressed heavily on the ground.
Taxman let out a strange scream, and the big black shadow suddenly stopped moving, and then his body suddenly broke into two pieces from the middle.
Taxman jumped up from the ground, kicked half of the shadow away, and supported his hands in front of the shadow for half a ride. There was a shallow pit on the armor on his chest, but it was not as damaged by a sharp weapon, but as if it was corroded by something.
The half of the black shadow struggled hard in front of Taxman like a living worm, but he never broke free from his hands.
The muscles of the two arms under the Taxman armor were prominent, especially the right arm, and there was a piece of skin on the upper arm that looked a bit weird and rough, just like a particularly huge red mole.
Looking closely, the "mole" is actually made of many red silks with uneven thickness, forming a strange pattern.
A low shout sounded, and the half of the black shadow was slowly pulled away from Taxman's upper body, and a stream of tiny blood columns were brought up from his limbs, making a strange hissing sound, as if he was saying something.
Taxman's eyes were open like bull's eyes, and the red tube in the red mole on his arm had become as thick as a toothpick, and his power reached its peak.
When I pulled my hands hard, although I couldn't understand the language of the half-black shadow, the meaning that could be conveyed at this time had exceeded the limitations of the language, and I could directly understand the fear inside.
Then he was divided into two halves, this time he was half on the left and half on the left. No matter how strong the vitality of this race is, he could not afford to be cut in half and then torn apart.
After killing the powerful enemy, Taxman did not stop immediately. He bent down and picked up the steel axe that had just cut off his opponent from under him, and slashed at another black shadow that was rushing towards him.
Two black shadows were attacking him just now. The small black shadow was knocked away by him with his shield and was dizzy for a while. After he killed one, the other pounced on him again.
Under the destruction of huge power, the steel axe penetrated directly into the black shadow's chest this time, nailing the black shadow into the air like a nail.
The sour smell gushed out, and the body fluids in the other party's body were corrosive. The scars on Taxman's half-body armor were corroded.
At this time, I could finally see the true face of the dark shadow attacking Taxman.
The body is an arthropod, divided into three parts. The top is the head, and there are two black and short tentacles on the forehead. In addition, the whole head is bare and has no hair. The facial features on the face have some characteristics of human life. However, when he saw his mouth, the hideous and terrifying mouthparts were separated from each other because of his loss of vitality, revealing the complex and terrifying appearance inside. It can be seen that there are finger-like needle-shaped straws in the split jaw, which are symmetrical on the left and right, with three pairs each.
The torso is flat and has fine velvets. The ends connecting the head and tail are extremely thinly tied. At the tail, it has been cut off before and is on the ground at this time.
The whole body presents the obvious characteristics of arthropods, similar to a mixture of insects and humans. Including the ground, the monster has three pairs of limbs, the middle and the back two pairs are like insects, while the forelimbs are similar to human hands, with obvious finger divisions, allowing them to use weapons and tools flexibly.
Taxman has also recognized the origin of the attacker, with a huge surprise and obvious fear in his voice, even if he killed the two attackers.
"It turned out to be Ante Ant-Man!"
