as a region-wide challenge.

This time the enthusiasm of the lords to participate is even higher than during the Balrog BOSS crusade.

Especially after the temperature in this area is constant at 25°C.

Compared with other regions, this is an obvious advantage.

A heat wave challenge without high temperatures is like a tiger without its tusks.

This round of the little Balrog extermination battle is even more attractive than the previous Winter Treasure Chest.

The level of strength at the captain level allows all lords to join in the fun.

It doesn't matter even if the strength is weak, as long as there is more than one team, the little Balrog can be killed.

For ordinary lords, the adjusted challenge content is obviously less risky than the Balrog crusade.

So it wasn't just Zong Shen who launched the killing operation.

The lords of almost the entire area were mobilized, and they took the initiative to go out to look for the little Balrog.

…

At the same time, the south of Zongshen's territory was also extremely lively.

Jiang Yi was also reorganizing the team and decided to divide the fighters in the territory into five teams.

With a certain base of fighters, dividing troops is indeed a good choice to improve efficiency.

Due to the changes in the rules of this challenge, she did not gather legion members.

Under group action, the most troublesome thing is the issue of harvest distribution.

Neither Points nor Balrog Keys can be split and distributed.

Besides, the little Balrog is not as difficult to deal with as the Balrog BOSS.

Combining troops in one place is a waste of troops.

However, Jiang Yi also considered the situation of competition and conflict.

I deliberately repeatedly explained to the legion members in the [Legion Channel] that if there is any trouble, it will be sent to the channel, and adjacent members are obliged to support each other.

Of course, try not to do it if you can. Avoiding unnecessary fights and casualties is the top priority, as long as one's own side does not take the initiative to go beyond the rules and "snatch monsters" or "bully".

Then the reputation of legion commander Zong Shen is enough to make some malicious lords think twice.

The number of 100,000 little Balrogs is not small, as long as you are willing to go out and look for them, you can always meet some.

Jiang Yi's main exploration direction this time is the south and southwest, planning to search for traces of the little Balrog around the dozens of kilometers near the poisonous marsh.

But just before departure, she received a private chat message from Medina, the head of the [Light Chaser Legion].

Ask Jiang Yi if she wants to enter the poisonous mist swamp together, search for and kill the little Balrog, and at the same time explore the poisonous swamp.

It is also said that at least two hundred lords in the south of the area have reached a consensus.

Now that the temperature is normal, the little Balrog will not launch an active attack on the lords' territories.

It can be said that this round of challenges has not hindered everyone from going out to explore.

Then the poisonous swamp in the south will naturally attract the attention of the nearby lords.

As a special dangerous place well known to the southern lords of the region.

Those in the know are full of reverie about the poisonous swamp.

If there is an opportunity to eliminate the little Balrog living in the Poison Swamp and explore the Poison Swamp, it would be a good thing for the southern lord of the region to kill two birds with one stone.

Humans are truly social creatures.

Once they form a group, their guts will also increase exponentially.

Everyone knows that the Poison Swamp is dangerous, but as soon as the number of participants increases, they will subconsciously downplay the potential danger.

The more than two hundred lords came from different legions, and there were also a small number of lone wolf-type scattered lords.

Their strengths are different, but their purpose is the same.

According to Medina, they have met to purchase high-level anti-poison potions, and agreed to gather beside a huge black stone outside the poison swamp.

The boulder was more than ten meters high, and the whole body was black and gray.

Like volcanic rock, like obsidian.

The lord in the southern part of the area called that rock the "Black Stone", which is also a landmark near the Poison Swamp.

It is expected to take more than an hour to assemble.

Even Medina himself is interested in the plans to explore the Poison Swamp.

With so many lords opening the way, it might be a good opportunity to explore.

After reading the message from Medina, Jiang Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She knew exactly what was in the poisonous mist swamp.

After all, Zong Shen had already revealed to Jiang Yi the real situation in the poisonous marsh.

There is the lair of the black dragon!

The black dragon is a creature that really comes to the top level.

Not to mention the highly toxic poisonous mist, just the servants of the black dragon serving it are enough for the lords to drink a pot.

Restricted by the anti-poison potion, these two hundred lords should be able to gather one or two thousand fighters to enter it, and the cost of high-level anti-poison potion is not low.

But even if there are mainly fighters of Tier 3 and below, this is a combat power that cannot be underestimated.

However, for the black dragon with dependents, the number of low-level fighters is difficult to form an advantage.

The number of dependents of the opponent will never be too small, at least one to three clans.

These are all one of the things that Zong Shen told her before.

To be honest, if Zong Shen hadn't postponed the exploration plan several times, she would have been unable to hold back.

Therefore, Zong Shen deliberately told Jiang Yi the pros and cons, including the level of force that the black dragon might possess.

So she has a very good understanding of the situation in the Poison Swamp.

At least they know more than those southern lords who have assembled blindly.

After entering the poisonous swamp, in addition to the need to overcome the negative effects of poisonous gas on the body.

Swampy terrain and vision blocked by fog are also a big hindrance.

The second is the monsters dormant in the swamp and the dependent army of the black dragon.

Coupled with Heilong, a guy with explosive single-body combat power, the trip to the poisonous marsh is destined to be extremely dangerous.

She was thinking while gathering the team.

It was difficult for her to intervene in this matter.

Not to mention those lords who have answered the call.

Even she herself, if she hadn't already known the inside story, she might not be able to restrain her desire to explore and seek profit, and join their call to see if there is any chance to fish in troubled waters.

After a short thought, she decided to admonish Medina cryptically.

【Light Chaser Legion】It can be regarded as a relatively powerful southern legion in the region.

Each lord area is actually not small at all.

The range of 200 kilometers x 200 kilometers is enough to cover the jurisdictions of several prefecture-level cities on the earth.

Therefore, the area is roughly divided into four directions according to the four directions of east, west, north and south.

The location of Zongshen is probably in the northeastern part of the area.

The ruins of Odo Village, more than 30 kilometers away from his territory, were relatively close to the center line of the vertical division of the area.

And Jiang Yi's location is probably below the horizontal center line of the area, southeast.

Her territory has not been moved, and has always been located seven or eight kilometers away in a straight line to the south of Zongshen's territory.

In this 40,000 square kilometers of land, there are more than 6,000 surviving lords.

With the development of [Legion] and the emergence of various group challenge activities, the social network among lords has become more and more close.

Medina's [Legion of Light Chasers] has shown favor to Zong Shen several times.

Although Medina used some small tricks to try to get Jiang Yi to join his army during the challenge in the crypt, but after seeing Zong Shen's strength, he changed his attitude decisively.

Not only actively cooperated with Zong Shen's call, but also obtained Jiang Yi's forgiveness in the form of material compensation in private. The two often communicated about challenge activities in private.

And in the near future, Medina actually has the intention of merging [Light Chaser] into [Guide].

I want Jiang Yi to whisper in Zong Shen's ear.

Of course, Medina also has a requirement, and that is to become the second deputy army commander.

Jiang Yi hasn't reported this matter to Zong Shen yet, so she suppressed it for the time being, at least until the legion upgrade is completed before considering the matter of legion merger.

Now that [Legion of the Light Chasers] has the idea of ​​merging, Jiang Yi has to find a way to preserve their strength as much as possible.

If Medina led people into the poisonous swamp, they would definitely suffer heavy losses in the end.

Jiang Yi doesn't care about other people, but Jiang Yi feels that it is necessary to give a subtle reminder of "Legion of the Light Chasers".

Thinking of this, she opened the [Private Chat Channel] and replied cautiously.

"Master Zong asked me to tell you that it is best not to bring people into the poisonous swamp."

After sending this message, Medina replied in less than half a minute.

"Why?"

"alright, I got it…"

He asked subconsciously first, then remembered something, and agreed directly.

Jiang Yi looked at his reply and didn't say anything more. She borrowed Zong Shen's name, which is considered to be the first to kill, but this matter is not over yet. After the more than two hundred lords enter the poisonous swamp, once the black dragon is alarmed , then the secret of the Poison Swamp cannot be concealed.

She has to report to Zong Shen immediately, both in terms of emotion and reason, public and private!

At this time, there are still more than twenty minutes before 1 pm.

She has already organized the team, and after the report, she can set off to find the little Balrog.

Jiang Yi took out the communication crystal treasured in the storage compartment, and chose number 1 for communication.

As the communication crystal in her hand lit up, the communication crystal tower in Zong Shen's territory also glowed faintly. At the same time, the communication crystal Zong Shen wore on his chest also began to glow and vibrate.

"-buzz"

"Who? Could it be that the temporary combat team is in trouble?"

Zong Shen frowned, and took off the communication crystal.

At this time, he had brought Feihu, Rathma, and Gujat to wipe out the second wave of Balrogs, and was about to continue moving to the two sides, and their positions were gradually approaching the burial ground.

After the flying tiger took off, Zong Shen was able to lock on the target in advance.

They gradually wiped out the little Balrogs along the way in a Z shape, and finally entered the northern mountain forest.

At this juncture, Zongshen had just tasted the sweetness, and when he was about to use the beast eggs to do something big, the communication crystal began to vibrate.

He held the beast egg in his arms, and connected to the crystal communication with his other hand.

Jiang Yi's voice came out of the crystal immediately.

"My lord, some lords are gathering in the south of the region!"

"They are going to explore the Poison Mist Swamp when the little Balrog arrives."

"I'm worried that they might startle the little black dragon you mentioned..."

Her tone was a little hasty, that was the place she set her sights on first.

After hearing what she said, Zong Shen couldn't help but frowned.

"When you enter the poison swamp, you must take anti-poison potion."

"Those lords can't go out with all their strength. Each person will bring a few or more than a dozen fighters in at most."

"And no matter how good the antidote is, it is time-sensitive."

"They can't stay long."

"Once the black dragon wakes up and leads its subordinates to launch an attack, the lords will definitely lose in the end."

Zong Shen put the beast eggs into the storage compartment, and patted the flying tiger's big head with his free hand, signaling it to continue taking off, and don't delay the elimination of the little Balrog.

While the flying tiger was taking off, Zong Shen calmly analyzed it.

With the strength of the current lords, it is very difficult to defeat the poisonous swamp.

The strength of more than two hundred lords in a group cannot be underestimated, but the poisonous fog limits their numerical advantage, and the lords do not have an advantage in any aspect.

The little black dragon is not alone.

The right time, place and people are all on the side of the little black dragon.

As long as they can't beat them down, then Zong Shen doesn't have to worry.

Maybe these two hundred or so lords can consume a wave of little black dragon's strength in advance.

It doesn't matter if the news leaks out, it's a hard bone in the first place.

Unless seven or eight hundred lords can be assembled, there is no chance of winning at all.

When the region has not yet been unified, relying on the attraction of the poisonous mist swamp and the call of the lord, there is no way to gather so many people.

Most of the legions are also small in size. When there is no backbone in the area, it is wishful thinking to gather spontaneously on a large scale.

Even the previous Balrog BOSS crusade, with the subtle guidance of the lord system, could not completely concentrate the lords in the area, let alone those small legions and scattered people.

The only one with relatively large appeal in the region is Zong Shen himself.

And he didn't have the idea of ​​summoning the lord, he just wanted to go to the Poison Swamp alone, and bring Jiang Yi at most.

However, the move of the southern lord is likely to cause a rebound from the black dragon.

Originally, he had already planned to tame the black dragon after cleaning up the goblins.

Now that there is such a commotion, maybe the plan will change.

Zong Shen decided to stay the same and deal with all the changes, and concentrate on cleaning up the little Balrog first.

Anyway, Heilong is not a Chinese cabbage in the field for anyone to pick.

Let those little fools explore the way first!

After Zong Shen finished speaking, Jiang Yi quickly understood what he meant.

"Okay Master Zong, I understand."

"I am concerned about the situation in the Poison Swamp, and I will contact you if there is anything unusual."

Since Jiang Yi joined the legion, she has always been respectful to Zong Shen.

"Well, you should pay more attention to things in the south."

"You know that I have a beast to ride, as long as I'm in the area, I can go there quickly."

"Then that's it, I'll deal with the little Balrog first."

"I understand my lord, so goodbye."

After getting Zong Shen's reply, Jiang Yi immediately had a backbone.

After the two briefly said a few more words, they hung up the communication crystal.

At this time, the flying tiger reached the predetermined location and started a new round of landing and diving.

Zong Shen put away his thoughts and concentrated on dealing with the little Balrog below.

…

Two hours later, Zong Shen and the others finally arrived at the northern mountain.

In the past two hours, he had harvested a total of 167 Balrog keys, not counting the harvest of the temporary combat team sent by the territory.

Zong Shen can analyze the results of the combat team through the entry of the points into the account.

In these two hours, his points increased by 36545 points, from which it can be deduced that all the temporary combat teams killed less than 600 little Balrogs.

Counting the 167 that Zong Shen killed here, there were seven to eight hundred little Balrogs in total.

Except for the parade team composed of three high-ranking knights and the commando team composed of lion and skeleton knights, which are relatively efficient in clearing, other temporary combat teams count as travel time and attack time every hour, and can only eliminate five or six small heads at most. Balrog.

This killing efficiency may gradually decrease over time.

However, as long as Zong Shen and the combat team work together and work hard for another hour or two, the small goal should be completed. As for the small goal, if you hit it, you will earn it, which can be exchanged for points.

Zong Shen even considered selling the Balrog key in the 【Market】.

It was not explicitly mentioned in the announcement.

As the saying goes, you can do anything without prohibition, and maybe you can still trade.

But he didn't have time to try it out.

I don't know if it can be listed for sale in [Market].

If it is not possible to sell it, can it be traded face-to-face with the lord in this area?

He doesn't know all of this for the time being, and he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to this issue.

When passing through the Boneyard just now, he met more than a dozen lords.

They all went out to kill the little Balrog.

At the same time, he also found traces of excavation in a part of the Boneyard.

However, the excavation area is not large, and obviously there is no gain.

Such a situation shows that some restless lord has put his mind on the burial ground, which is not a good sign.

The Boneyard is by no means a good place, unless you know the entrance to the Bone Fort's ruins or gather all three pieces of [Devil King's Secret Order], otherwise the undead will attack indiscriminately once they wake up.

Zong Shen still had to act quickly.

He plans to use three months to thoroughly explore all the ruins in the area.

Of the 167 little Balrogs they killed just now, 79 of them were destroyed by Zong Shen using beast eggs.

The remaining 88 were solved by Feihu, Gujat and Rasma.

Because the positions of the little Balrogs were scattered, Zong Shen couldn't get the experience points of other people.

However, the 79 heads he dealt with alone contributed 257,540 experience points to him.

Zong Shen was successfully promoted to ~lightnovelpub.net~ and he was only a short distance away from LV32.

The current experience value is [166720186000].

With another 20,000 experience points, he can rise to LV32.

The higher the level, the more terrifying the experience points required.

LV30 to LV31 only need more than 140,000 experience points, and after upgrading to a level, the experience requirements will increase by more than 40,000 points.

With the increase of the experience base, the new experience value of each level will be higher and higher.

The road to upgrade is the same as the road to the development of the territory, and the road is long and long.

If there is no lord challenge, I don't know how many monsters have to be killed to advance to a level.

I am afraid that only a large-scale war can maintain the level improvement.
