The Origin of Arcane

The attack of the army hounds blew the horn of the opponent's attack in disguise.

Rumble!

The ground collapsed in the northwest corner of the temporary defensive position of the Third Corps, revealing a huge, dark cave.

Countless thick, long, thin, red, yellow, green, gray snakes and pythons.

Surrounded and rolled out of it, like those beast legions, launched a desperate attack.

There is an underground karst cave formed by karst landform. The size and depth are unknown, but the snakes seem to be endless, continuously gushing out.

The line of defense formed by the army hounds was too thin in front of them. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen hounds were drowned by the snakes, leaving only them whimpering in pain.

The Andes Mountains are not rich in poisonous snakes, but there are many giant pythons, and the snakes are no exception, but falling into them, the death process is more painful, either strangled alive, or suffocated to death, no matter what Death is more painful than death by poison.

The group of hounds did not sacrifice in vain, at least it gave the Third Corps a certain amount of time to react, and the two hundred guards serving as the reserve team had already rushed over to form a defensive line.

Molotov cocktails, throw Molotov cocktails, build a firewall line of defense. Sean was startled but not confused, and ordered loudly, The first school, the second school will return to defense, the attached siege equipment will change the direction of attack, the third school will take over the frontal defense line, correct Catapult, oil barrel on fire, towards the entrance of the snake cave.

The messengers ran quickly, and the entire Third Corps moved in an orderly manner. Although the Beast Corps directly in front of them seemed to be unable to move around, for the sake of caution, a school was left for defense.

boom! boom! boom!

Hundreds of Molotov cocktails made of high-concentration alcohol contained in ceramic bottles were smashed down, slowing down the attack of the snake group.

It's just a slowdown.

Under the influence of unknown reasons, these birds and beasts have completely violated most of their biological instincts. When they are not even afraid of death, what else in this world can make them shrink back?

The swarm of snakes was not afraid of death, just like a colony of ants crossing a river, stepping on the corpses of their companions, forcibly paving a path in the sea of ​​fire.

Formation, defense.

The two Centuries of the Third Corps, who had thrown away the Molotov cocktails in hand, stood shoulder to shoulder, shield against shield, forming a tight shield line of defense, ready to stand.

boom! boom! boom!

The interception of the two hundred guards bought the Third Corps precious time to respond. The polished, angular boulders fell around the snake group. After landing, these boulders would roll at least five or six times, rolling out The blood path of nearly ten meters used the kinetic energy to the extreme.

The boulder fell more accurately each time, and the third piece had landed directly on the edge of the cave entrance where snakes were constantly surging out, sinking the surrounding land and making the snake cave even bigger, and the snakes were like waves The same is surging in it, I don't know how many there are, it seems that all the snakes and insects in the Andes Mountains have gathered here.

Calibration of the catapult is completed, fill the fire oil barrel, and launch!

boom! boom! boom!

The fourth time the catapult threw out was no longer a boulder, but a sealed wooden barrel that looked like a boulder and weighed almost the same. It contained black fire oil known as the blood of the devil.

If the flame formed by hundreds of incendiary bottles is described as a wall of fire, then a dozen kerosene barrels smashed down will form a sea of ​​fire, accompanied by a sea of ​​fire billowing with thick smoke, the flames rise nearly ten meters.

The violent explosion shook the two hundred-man formations that formed a shield formation not far away.

Countless scattered corpses of snakes that were bombed fell on the surroundings like rain.

The entrance of the underground snake cave was also blown up even bigger. The snake group wanted to repeat the same trick and use a large number of corpses of their companions to make a way out, but the power of the devil's blood was far from what high-concentration alcohol could match. They jumped in, and before they reached a third of the way, they were already dried up and became part of the sea of ​​flames.

Even so, the group of snakes still showed no hesitation, pouring out continuously, becoming the combustion aid of this huge brazier.

As soon as the fire was suppressed by them, several barrels of black fire oil were smashed down again, making the fire even more intense.

On the other side, the members of the temporary special affairs handling team also quickened their pace. The second beast leader to be brought down was the cunning prairie wolf.

No matter how cunning a fox is, it can't beat a hunter.

When the prairie wolf found out that he had been tricked by Achill, it was too late and he was cornered.

Among the five beast leaders, the grassland wolf is the weakest in frontal combat. Once it loses its speed advantage, it is no match for Achill.

Surprisingly, the third person to end the battle was Darnell who dealt with the Andis giant bear. What made everyone even more surprised was that the two sides were in a confrontation most of the time except for the initial temptation.

Then Darnell suddenly burst out with dazzling white light, obviously using magic power, and then the Andis giant bear's attitude changed 180 degrees.

From the initial hatred and hatred, he became extremely docile and followed Darnell step by step, even more obedient than a hound raised since childhood.

The rest of the matter was much simpler. Darnell repeated his old tricks, facing the madly jumping octagonal bull with Skull Crusher McKee and the Razor Boar fighting with Baozi.

Although the changes were not as great as the Andis giant bears, they all became more docile and quieter. They were knocked down by their opponents and then injected with a large amount of anesthetic.

If the giant Andis bear hadn't been intact, Darnell refused in words, I'm afraid it would have to end up like this.

These beast leaders, even the super-giant Andis giant bear, are far from being able to compete with the champion knight, because they all have the idea of ​​catching them all, and they are a little bit cautious.

Otherwise, they would have no chance to go through ten rounds with the champion knight at all.

After all, champion knights not only have monster-like physical fitness, but also have sharper weapons and armor than their own weapons.

The leader of the sixth giant python who jumped out of the sea of ​​​​fire in the snake cave was in a bit of an awkward situation, because its size meant that it could not be a mount, even if it was coiled up, it was not much smaller than the mutant Andis giant bear.

Its only fate is to become a test product in a medical research base. The relationship between life and death is not very big, and it has no scruples when it comes to doing it.

The catapults and ballistas went into battle together, and even the champion knights didn't use them, and they were semi-crippled by a burst of indiscriminate bombardment, and they couldn't do anything.

In the face of a large amount of anesthetics, he was put into a cage in the end.

The sudden appearance of the snake group and the snake cave caused a certain degree of confusion to the Third Corps, and the ensuing battle was lackluster.

Beasts are beasts after all, and they can't play too many tricks.

The reason why the snake group appeared behind the Third Corps was not a conscious strategy. It was simply that the weakest part of the underground snake cave directly led to the back of the Third Corps.

If they pass to the front of the third army's defensive position, they will also launch an attack together with the beast army.

It can only be said that when the Third Corps chose its position this time, there was a loophole, and it did not consider the threat from the underground.

Mr. Darnell, how did you do it? Sean was most interested in how Darnell made a ferocious beast as cute as a hound.

Darnell's complexion is not good, it's a little gray, and his spirit is a little sluggish. It's obvious that he has used too much magic power. It's obvious that the three blows just now have consumed a lot.

Darnell is still holding on, not only because the battle is not over, but also because there is a lot of experimental elements in dealing with this giant Andis bear. Go berserk.

Even if the beast has mutated, it is still a beast. The behavior pattern should not change too much, so that they completely violate their survival instinct. There is only one possible reason, and that is something controlling them.

At the beginning, I always guessed that there were warlocks secretly manipulating it, but all signs ruled out this. Manpower alone cannot summon and control so many birds and beasts.

There must be something we don't know about their behavior patterns. Don't you feel the abnormality here?

Darnell's last interrogative sentence was aimed at Sean and Elena, who are both warlocks.

Abnormal? Xiao En said with bright eyes, Your Excellency also felt it? The closer you get to the canyon, the fluctuation of the magic power is extremely strong, and the magic power in the body becomes more active? I thought it was just my illusion!

It's far more than that. Darnell said with a solemn expression, If you listen carefully, you will find that there seems to be a strange magic power around you, whispering in your ear non-stop, very low Ordinary people can't hear this sound at all, but those birds and beasts can feel it, and they should be summoned by this sound.

High-frequency signal! Sean's eyes widened, and he breathed out a noun.

High-frequency signal? What does this word mean? Why have I never heard of this word? Darnell asked suspiciously.

I have seen records about similar situations in the ancient books of the ancient Andes Empire. There are some unique energy fluctuations or sounds that humans cannot hear, but some animals can hear or feel them. The most The typical representative is the bat, which observes the surrounding environment through sound and locates and preys.

This is not the first time Sean has done this. Once there is no way to explain it, he will directly push it to the ancient Andes Empire. Having said that, with the relatively developed magic technology of the ancient Andes Empire, it is really possible to have discovered it. This phenomenon has been discovered, but it has not been handed down, or it has stayed in an isolated copy.

It's almost this concept. Darnell is used to it. Sean hides too many secrets, and he can't get to the bottom of it. Knowledge and information about it, wait until he has finished researching the relevant information, and see what else this kid can use as an excuse.

I cut off the abnormal signals with my magic power, and they returned to normal naturally. This little guy is smarter than we expected. He doesn't want to be controlled by that horrible thing again, so he can only follow me. But I suggest sending them out of here as soon as possible, because I'm not sure whether this cut-off is permanent or temporary, and what unbelievable things will those signals order them to do. Darnell said with a serious expression.

The little guy he was talking about was just the colossus beside him. This big guy with terrifying stature was not really old, at most four or five years old, between adulthood and adulthood.

In fact, the ages of the captured beasts are not particularly large, especially those of the leader boss level.

What kind of role age plays in the variation is still unknown, and a series of experiments and comparisons are needed to draw conclusions.

Understood, I'm already making arrangements. Sean nodded and said, which coincided with each other.

In addition to this consideration, but also because things like anesthetics have more or less side effects on the body, especially when used in large doses continuously, Sean doesn't want the guy they risked and worked so hard to catch to become a crippled.

The fire at the entrance of the Snake Cave lasted for a whole day and night. In the end, the fire oil barrels carried by the Third Corps were exhausted, and a large amount of wood had to be cut down to turn this place into a huge bonfire.

There is a smell of meat and burnt in the air around the Grand Canyon, which lingers for a long time.

In the next few years, with a radius of hundreds of kilometers, wild rats and rabbits will probably be flooded.

Even with black fire oil as a combustion aid, this kind of combustion is still an incomplete combustion. In order to prevent other accidents, the Third Corps had to dig a pit to bury the half-burned snake corpse. There are nearly a hundred flatbed trucks in the dead snake bones.

In addition to a large number of insects and snakes who threw themselves into the net and were burned to death, a considerable number were roasted to death and smothered to death.

The underground snake cave has become a natural big oven. These snakes and insects instructed by unknown signals, even if there is an escape route behind them, they don't know how to turn around and run away.

After the underground snake cave was cleared out, it was a deep underground cave extending in all directions, leading directly to the direction of the Grand Canyon, like a big mouth opened by a demon, placed in front of the Third Corps.

On the third day after the confrontation with the Beast Legion, the Third Corps of the First Corps of the Eternal Night Army withdrew, and withdrew in a hurry. They only built simple fortifications to hide the entrance of the Snake Cave.

As if there was an invisible demon chasing them behind them, they retreated 50 kilometers madly. Not to mention the Snake Cave Cave, even the Grand Canyon that was close at hand, Sean didn't send anyone to investigate.

Because from the next day, very few soldiers of the Third Corps began to have abnormal symptoms such as nausea and headaches.

In the afternoon of the next day, the soldiers with these symptoms began to suffer from sleepwalking symptoms, and did some unthinkable things. After waking up, they didn't know what they were doing.

In the early morning of the third day, the number of soldiers with this symptom increased dramatically.
