Chapter 544 Behemoth to be processed
Speaking of which, among all the areas of the Caines Courtyard, the Snow Ridge Ranch is actually the most harmonious area for humans at this stage.
Not only do humans want to develop their population, the living environment of the courtyard is much more stable than that of hell. Most of the courtyard masters originally value sustainable development. In addition to driving and capturing some monsters from hell and throwing them into the courtyard, the positioning of the Snow Ridge Ranch among various monster areas is originally based on the initial breeding and domestication of monsters.
The west is close to the courtyard border, the back of the snow peak in the north is adjacent to the Death Canyon Command Area, and the east is adjacent to the central part of the Goblin Kingdom. Only the south can be said to be a relatively safe direction for adventurers to enter the Snow Ridge Ranch.
Even so, the Snow Ridge Ranch does not seem to want to fight to the death with humans. The fraud demon village that Mu Hua encountered earlier is by no means an exception here.
There are many monster settlements here, such as hotels, restaurants, casinos, black markets, brothels and other facilities, which are actually open to adventurers.
It is not absolutely safe. To some extent, those settlements can be regarded as a chaotic zone where no one is in charge. There are gladiatorial arenas where adventurers can watch monsters fight, and even humans can hire monsters to participate in adventurers' battles with monsters in other areas of Snow Ridge Ranch.
Most of the monsters participating in gladiatorial arenas or battles are cultivated by Snow Ridge Ranch.
While helping Snow Ridge Ranch to make profits, most of the outstanding ones who survive will be sent to Bloody Hills, where they will experience further growth and eventually be sent to the hands of monster leaders in various areas, or be cultivated by the Lord of the Courtyard, or even sent back to hell.
So Snow Ridge Ranch may be more chaotic than other monster areas, but it is really relatively harmonious to treat human adventurers here.
Anyway, squatting in the courtyard is idle, just like human population development. Most of the monster leaders in the courtyard will do this kind of thing to breed and cultivate monsters.
The main point is that it is cheap. To be honest, this kind of life form that is naturally bred and selected by natural selection is much cheaper than the existence of magic life and skeleton undead.
Of course, monsters want to continue to develop, and humans are not stupid. Unlike monsters who expect the number of humans to increase, humans are more inclined to attack places like Snow Ridge Ranch as long as they can spare their hands.
However, compared with the threats and profits in other areas, people often prioritize them. As for how to make humans ignore the so-called monster breeding base, it depends on the operation and management of the monsters.
For example, the threat level of the Mechanical Forest will increase exponentially if it is left alone.
The Goblin Kingdom has vast resources, abundant products, clear monster strength, and is relatively safe.
Death Canyon, um, Death Canyon is Death Canyon, a place of burial. If everyone does not turn over its sign, it will occasionally expose a sea of bones to disgust people, and there seems to be nothing else. It is probably the area with the highest negative reviews.
Hot Spring Township, a place about 300 kilometers north of the southern border of Snow Ridge Ranch.
As the name here, there are many underground hot springs in this relatively cold area, and the hot springs here are more concentrated. The monsters seem to want to make this place a hot spring resort for adventurers to relax.
There are several flat terrains here that lead to multiple medium-risk areas, which can also be regarded as outposts of high-risk areas. Unfortunately, the monsters here have not yet gained the trust of human adventurers, but have attracted Mu Hua first.
There are bursts of scorching smoke, fires everywhere, and wandering fire sources can be seen from time to time between the earth and hills. Those are the products of the flames of life burning creatures.
The ghostly fire source has the form of a creature before death, with a slightly distorted face, and occasionally a sad and violent sound whistle from its big mouth.
Because the number of fire spirits that Tina can collect is limited, these flame aggregates are much rougher than the fire spirits that accompany Tina in terms of size and appearance.
They will burn themselves out soon, but before they dissipate, they will follow the instructions given by Tina to search and embrace all the creatures that appear in front of them.
The disaster spirit fire demon is undoubtedly a doomsday demon. They are similar to Medusa. They are very unwelcome in hell and will be disliked and isolated by demons. Many times, the original sin demon is a little fresh in front of them.
The form before death was vaguely preserved, and various flame aggregates brought destruction to the hot spring town.
The distance between the east and west of the Snow Ridge Ranch is 500 to 2,000 kilometers. This hot spring town was originally a low-risk area. It takes nearly 3,000 kilometers to the north to reach the foot of the snow-covered snow-capped mountains. The nearest high-altitude area is about 400 to 500 kilometers away in a straight line.
Compared with the ordinary wars between monsters, this can be regarded as an outpost for rest and recuperation, but it cannot be regarded as a suitable place as a bridgehead.
However, Mu Hua is planning to build a city here to counter the monster attack.
The terrain near the hot spring town is mostly mountainous and hilly. The west is close to the courtyard boundary, and behind it is the false sky interstellar and dangerous dimensional turbulence. Even monsters will not be willing to approach.
To the south is a safe zone planned by people for the future. There are mountain passes in the east. If a strong army builds another stronghold in the east, then the hot spring town basically only needs to guard against enemies from the north.
This is a place that is very suitable as a defensive fortress. Of course, Mu Hua and the others can see it, and the monsters cannot be unaware of it.
The reason why the monsters didn't station troops and set up defenses here, but wanted to turn this place into a leisure sanctuary, is entirely because this place is not the only way to the fortress city, and it is too far from the command area where Leticia is located.
It takes thousands of kilometers to the north to reach the land of wind and snow. After that, not counting the spatial difference of crossing mountains and ridges, it may take at least thousands of kilometers to meet Leticia.
Whether the monsters want to go to the fortress city or the humans want to attack Leticia, they can basically ignore this place by land and water.
For a normal war, this place does not have much combat value.
However, what Mu Hua wants to fight is not a normal war. He plans to kidnap Leticia's generals, elite troops, city lords and clan leaders. If Leticia can be captured as a decoration, he can also test the reaction of the Lord of the Courtyard.
Mu Hua plans to build this place into a fortress for storing monster statues. Unless Leticia can ignore her captured subordinates, otherwise, what logistics and military equipment should be moved, and go south first.
If Mu Hua finds some strategic places to garrison in the north, then if Leticia's army wants to reach here, they must travel thousands of miles by land.
Flying? A strong individual attacks alone? It depends on whether Mu Hua can deploy his forces to attack the enemy flying here from the front and back.
Leticia may still be waiting for Mu Hua to lead his army to attack her Snow Peak Barrier. Mu Hua also wants to wait for the enemy to tire out. He wants to use the advantage of the petrified magic eye to lead Leticia's army here.
Speaking of which, Medusa is actually not welcome in hell. Even compared with Arachne, Medusa is an alien.
In the courtyard, unless you are the lord of the courtyard like Queen Medusa of the Eternal Night Territory, you can rarely see Medusa in the courtyard. It's really because their petrified magic eyes are a bit bad, and many demons don't like to get along with Medusa.
Thursday found Tina in a valley, Mu Hua joined Tina, and Thursday returned to the south to sweep the "base" that recruited adventurers with Monday.
Mu Hua has not used the petrifying magic eye yet, and Monday is still a fat boy riding a goat. Mu Hua did not even bring out too many skeletons.
Now only Thursday is the existence that Mu Hua pulled out for demonstration. It is estimated that he will not really show his fangs to Xueling Ranch until the front line of the hot spring town is stable and several bases are built here.
"Roar!" The manic beast roared, Tina was guarding a fierce behemoth, and the multiple flames with life forms around her made the behemoth dare not move easily.
When Mu Hua arrived, he threw an identification spell on the behemoth with shackles on his limbs and neck, which also aroused the behemoth's violent rebuke.
Constitution: 937, Intelligence: 163, Spirit 152
The ten-meter-tall Behemoth has muscles like rock, and its hippopotamus-like head has protruding fangs and tusks that extend forward in an arc. Its shoulder blades and collarbones are covered with dark and hard spikes, and its arms are more than seven meters long and thick and hang down to the ground.
Its overall body shape is like King Kong, but its aggressive signs make King Kong look like a gentle little beast in front of it. On its palms hanging down to the ground, four fingers have thick claws that are more than four meters long.
Even if the palms are curled up like hammers, the claws on the side of the wrists are frightening. The fangs of Behemoth may not be outstanding, but their claws have the armor-breaking properties of cutting gold and jade.
They are the darlings of the earth. The gray-white hair on their bodies is an excellent medium for casting spells when creating earth puppets. Their bodies are their swords, and the mountains will provide them with food.
Behemoths have stronger physical recovery ability than werewolves when standing on the ground, and their sturdy bodies are very flexible. Their tendons are connected to each other, forming a whole, and every inch of flesh and blood is full of explosive power.
Physical fitness 900+, although the size has grown, this should still be an immature Behemoth.
If this attribute was put a year and a half ago, Mu Hua would probably call it daddy when he saw it.
But let alone elites and demon generals, Mu Hua has become an over-standard existence, and no matter how conservative, he will be classified as a leader.
This kind of monster, which can be regarded as a melee king even among demons, is a little fresh in his eyes.
"BOSS, do you want to catch it? I checked it, there is no demon contract on it. If it doesn't obey, I want to take it." Mu Hua observed the Behemoth, and Tina, who had recovered her human body, asked him.
Behemoths are naturally friendly to the elements of water and soil. They are highly resistant to poison and corrosion. The petrifying magic eye has no effect on them. However, they are still afraid of fire. When they encounter fire thunder, they can only rely on the magic power and blood in their flesh and blood to withstand it.
"Let's try it first, but the attributes of this Behemoth are still a bit low. You can consider raising it before burning it." Mu Hua thought and waved his hand to spread the summoning magic circle.
Tina's so-called collection is not the same as Mu Hua's collection. Her collection is to burn this Behemoth with the flame of life, and then let the fire spirit transformed by this Behemoth become a part of her life.
That kind of flame life is not a proper flame elf after all. It is basically unable to cast regular magic and has no growth.
But they have the power and fighting habits of their lifetime. They are originally composed of flames. They are basically a permanent fire magic.
The size of the Behemoth transformed into a fire spirit may shrink to a certain extent, and the Behemoth's melee skills are barbaric and violent, but not rough. As a dominated life flame, it is indeed good.
Tina can only integrate a limited number of fire spirits into herself. If she cannot subdue this Behemoth, Mu Hua prefers to throw some physical crystals at it and then let Tina burn it.
When the summoning array cast by Mu Hua is fully unfolded, four Behemoth summoned beasts that are also Behemoths, taller and more powerful than the Behemoth in front of him, appear from the summoning array.
"Roar~~!" The giant beast roared.
"..." The Behemoth surrounded by the four big brothers was a little dazed.
"Armor of the Stone King." The Behemoth summoned beast cast the signature magic of the Behemoth clan.
The earth and rock armor covered their bodies, and the heavy stone armor made their soles sink a shallow mark on the ground, but it did not affect their flexibility at all. The original beast-like form was covered by the rough armor, and several Behemoth summoned beasts seemed to have transformed into mountain king warriors.
"..." The surrounded Behemoth bared its teeth, and its eyes, which seemed small relative to its head, were wide open.
Behemoth's brain is a bit bad, but since it is classified as an orc, it also has a higher IQ and rational thinking than ordinary monsters.
The four behemoths in front of it are stronger than it, no, much stronger. It hasn't even learned the armor of the stone king yet. It is estimated that learning it is like putting on the slow curse on its back. It always feels that it may not be strong enough to fight these guys.
"Ah!" Even if it is not strong enough, it has to fight. The main feature of behemoth is that it is stubborn, but the roar of this behemoth targeted by Mu Hua and Tina seems to be a little different from before.
"Cough cough cough cough~~" The four behemoth summoned beasts laughed strangely. They are summoned beasts, they are also conscious, and they are much more lively than undead summoned beasts.
I saw four behemoth summoned beasts armed to the teeth waving their fingers, and sparks were drawn between the friction of their claws, surrounding the pink fellow in front of them. The behemoth summoned beasts slowly approached, and the expressions in the eyes of these guys seemed very happy.
"Ah~!" As if to cheer himself up, the monster Behemoth howled again, but it also provoked the Behemoth summoned beast to attack.
"Crackle~ crackle~~" Fighting... Well, forget it, let's not talk about fighting, anyway, the monster Behemoth has curled up on the ground, posing a very standard posture of holding its head and getting beaten.
Mu Hua has never seen a live Behemoth, and the Behemoth in front of him is the first time he has seen a live one, but he has Behemoth summoned beasts. In addition to the four he brought with him, he also gave away a few.
As for the source of these summoned beasts? Well, there are only a dozen monsters under Thursday's command, and some monsters with good summoned beasts disappeared after giving their summoned beasts to Mu Hua...
