Walking on the path in the forest, his eyes passed over the delicate, flawless green faces, and Li Liang felt a kind of disgust from the bottom of his heart.
Regardless of their skin color, pointed ears, and gleaming eyes, the goblins look very much like humans. However, the scrutiny and contempt inadvertently revealed in their eyes prove that these invaders have never regarded humans as equal civilizations.
Massey's life and death are uncertain, and thousands of members of the Defender's ephemera are buried at the bottom of the sea. Sooner or later, he will have to pay for this blood debt with the blood of the goblins.
Li Liang took a deep breath, suppressed his inner anger, and observed his surroundings. From the perspective of the spirit, the plants here all contain spirits to a greater or lesser extent. Some are scattered in the roots, trunks, branches and leaves, and some are concentrated in one place. At the same time, every plant has a spirit as thin as a gossamer. Connect with the nearest goblin.
There is a network structure composed of spirits in the body of the goblin. The densest areas are the chest, throat and skull. Among them, the structure inside the skull is so dense that it looks like a luminous solid.
When I was killing goblins in Zhongjing and the western mines, I was too anxious to observe carefully. Now it seems that goblins have a completely different structure from humans. They are more like a tight machine, and each machine is closely connected with the outside world.
In addition, not every individual goblin can do magic, at least most of the ones seen so far do not have Horcruxes. Even if there are occasionally a few who carry staffs, the spirit contained in them is quite rare, not even as good as the spirit in their bodies.
However, at this moment, the concentration of spirits in Zhenjie Castle is close to that of the spiritual world. It can be seen that the fairies have not only transformed the environment visible to the naked eye, but have also made this place more conducive to the use of magic.
As we go deeper, more weird creatures appear in sight.
Li Liang saw some slow-moving "tree stumps", small beasts with horns and colorful "butterflies". Without exception, there was a network structure composed of spirits in the bodies of these creatures.
He realized that perhaps people always subconsciously bring what they see closer to their own perception in order to understand it, but in fact, the life brought by fairies only has certain characteristics of plants, animals, and insects, but is essentially another person. a life form.
The last time he entered and exited Zhenjie Fort, it took him thirty minutes to take the open-top electric car of the garrison. This time, the group walked on foot and walked for a full hour before the Spiritual Gate appeared among the tree canopies. Not even close.
Li Liang is not impatient. This journey is a good opportunity to observe goblins. He has already seen many "weapons" hidden in the dense forest. They are often driven by magic talisman arrays engraved in giant trees, and their power is unpredictable.
Presumably Robben and the officers had similar thoughts, and the pace was always leisurely.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the plants became sparse, and the Spiritual Gate was fully exposed. It was still like a black planet suspended in mid-air, with slightly ripples on the surface.
There are more goblin guards, and they are getting taller and taller. High-level magicians can be seen everywhere, wearing robes made of flower vines or short clothes with exposed arms. Their appearance is no different from ordinary fairies, and only Li Liang can accurately identify them.
Tam has always emphasized that magic is essentially a kind of "knowledge", and the power contained in it comes from the gods. As for Taoism, although the principles are different, the magician's power is also based on the spirit, not life itself. Therefore, whether a magician or sorcerer is powerful can only be known when he is casting spells with all his strength.
This is also one of the purposes of the Ministry of Magic's level examination. An official endorsement of strength can reduce many unnecessary fights.
However, based on his previous experience, Li Liang also knew that magicians or certain special races who are powerful enough still have some special senses. For example, in the western mine, the elf magician seemed to sense something for a moment. , wisps of spirit floated from the top of the staff and approached him, but were guided away by him. In addition, Anqiao interrupted him loudly, so he was not exposed on the spot.
The same was true at this moment. Several elf magicians quietly released wisps of spirits and approached the human team, but they were all deflected by him. Moreover, he placed the center of rejection around the Xi'an representative, causing the magicians to look at him. Always lock the red figure at the front of the team.
Soon, the number of magicians appearing around increased significantly. They obviously believed that Xi'an represented strong strength and refused to be tested.
There is a giant tree trunk lying underneath the Spiritual Gate, with an arched door in the middle. There is a unique goblin standing at the door, looking down at the approaching human team.
The goblin was more than two meters tall, with waterfall-like blond hair. His entire face exuded a hazy light, his eyebrows were extremely long, far exceeding the width of his forehead, and his pure black eyes were filled with light.
Li Liang's heart sank. He was a high-level elf and a magician comparable to Tam. The staff in his hand shone dazzlingly in Ling's vision.
"Welcome, human companions," the high elf smiled and spoke in clean Mandarin.
Robben said nothing, and the human officers all looked ugly. It was clearly humiliating to be "welcomed" by outsiders on their own territory.
The Xian representative shrouded in red robes said calmly: "Thank you, descendant of the Noldor, guardian of the Silmarillion, Whistle of the Silver Spring, Helm Blade, Giant Vine, Noldor, you are more majestic than in the image. .”
"Thank you for your compliment, Messenger Xi'an. Please come with me. The guests from Terunsa's Sacred Carbon-based Alliance have been waiting for a long time."
The group climbed onto the wooden bridge and passed through the arch.
The inside of the giant tree trunk was completely hollowed out, with large and small insect cysts hanging high on the inner wall, emitting a light orange light, and there was a green lawn in the center of the ground.
The moment he crossed the threshold, Li Liang saw three "giants" covered with armor standing on the edge of the lawn. They were more than five meters tall. Their armor and the giant guns held in their hands were full of bullet marks and wear. They had obviously been burned by war.
The leader of the "giant" is particularly majestic. The exaggerated shoulder armor is painted with scarlet patterns, and he wears a red floor-length cape. The chest armor is bulging, and there are four circular diffusion ports of some kind of attack or defense device arranged horizontally. Dark blue energy can be vaguely seen inside the round hole. The waist armor and knee armor are reinforced with multiple layers. A silver mechanical structure is exposed between the gaps. A pair of huge iron boots are as thick as the base of a tower.
However, the next moment, Li Liang's eyes were attracted by three short figures behind the giants.
They also wear full-coverage armor, but the shape is very strange. The one on the left has eight arms, a pair of metal wings on its back, and a convex helmet with a conical face. The one in the middle only has two arms, but the waist armor is extremely thick and has no movable joints. Instead, a connecting rod is vaguely visible on the chest, and there are four horns on the helmet.
The most suspicious thing is the one on the right. The armor on his body has no aesthetic appeal and is crooked. It looks like it is just to block the body.
For some reason, Li Liang always had an awkward feeling. It seemed like only two of the eight-armed guy's arms were real, and the rest of the arms were hanging loosely. The horns on the helmet in the middle were also stretched out in all directions.
Suddenly, the guy in the helmet with horns quietly scratched his lower back.
All humans raised their heads, their attention attracted by the giant. Only Li Liang saw this small movement.
He was stunned for a moment, these three... couldn't be Lao Yang, Wang Chao and Liya, right?
Once he was put into this setting, the more he looked at it, the more he felt like it. The one with the horns on the helmet was slightly shorter and had small movements, like Lao Yang. The tall man with eight arms was Wang Chao, and the one next to him had a bunch of armor pieces welded on and wore a The one with a broken helmet was Leah.
It's so bizarre.
How do they know someone from Terencea?
Li Liang then remembered Tam's confusion, why was an infantry team coming?
A bad premonition came to mind. Could these three infantrymen be fooled by Lao Yang? If this is the case, it means that Terencea did not actually know about it. Only this team came and there were no reinforcements behind it. Then, the pressure they can exert on the goblins is quite limited. Once Xi'an insists that he and the goblins have a "cooperative" relationship , these three infantrymen can only bluff.
This was the opposite of what he originally wanted to see. Only with enough pressure would Goblin and Xi'an hesitate, and the negotiations would be repeated, giving him and Robben the opportunity to communicate privately with Terenza's people.
The only way now is to let Lao Yang, Wang Chao and Liya know that he is on the opposite side, and look for opportunities to pass the news to the three of them.
Within ten seconds from entering the door to standing still, Li Liang's thoughts were racing and his eyes were scanning around.
Suddenly, a misty shadow appeared in Ling's field of vision. It was short and sneaky and was approaching the high elf helmet blade.
Li Liang's heart skipped a beat.
An invisible guy? What does it do?
