Chapter 565 A true war of attrition?

Chapter 565 A true war of attrition?

It is actually quite troublesome to find plant essences. Not to mention cutting down and using them, those tall trees that have existed for a long time will not only affect reconnaissance, but also become hiding places for some monsters.

In an environment where killing and fighting are everywhere, those trees that are too tall will generally be destroyed and cut down by both humans and monsters.

And it is not easy to distinguish the individuals with longer survival years in the wild for some trees and vegetation with shorter physiological characteristics.

Mu Hua asked Tricia to go out for a ride, and the main purpose was to collect plant essences.

There was no clear target for the time being. After a rough search in the area south of the hot spring town, there was nothing to gain. Mu Hua changed to a magic dragon summoned beast and flew to the Goblin Kingdom.

The original evil dragon carrying them continued to search for and hunt monsters in the wild in the Snow Ridge Ranch area.

Speaking of which, the war in the Goblin Kingdom was really in full swing. Above the forest that should have been damp and rotten, there was a burnt smell in the air.

This smell permeated a large area of ​​the Goblin Kingdom. It was not that there was scorching bloodshed in these areas, but that the wars in some areas were too frequent. When the wars lasted for a long time, this kind of scorching smell that spread and was difficult to dissipate was finally formed.

Looking down from the sky, you can see battlefields in the distance with smoke and fire.

Mu Hua did not approach those war-torn areas for the time being, but looked for places with lush trees and vegetation in those areas under the full control of the Goblin King.

Although human adventurers... Oh, no, although the Goblin rebels have not yet killed these places, the monster gathering places in the entire Goblin Kingdom are almost in a state of preparation for war.

Fireworks full of life were lit in those gathering places, and the goblins in the gathering places were feasting on all kinds of food, including dishes of dwarf orcs stewed in iron pots. This is probably a war mobilization on the part of the goblins, right?

Eating well, training military formations, making crude weapons, adding magic traps farther away from the gathering places, etc.

There was no large-scale mobilization of troops in the Goblin King City in the east. It seemed that the Goblin King was prepared to deal with the rebellion brought by the Goblin General in a defensive and attritional way.

More giant bats than in the past were circling in groups in the sky of some areas of the Goblin Kingdom. Their regular flying altitude was much lower than that of the dragon.

Some of these giant bats carried goblin mages, but more carried archers and pitchers. Archers shot arrows, and goblin flying riders often threw magic scrolls.

Because they were riding dragons, when they encountered these goblin flying riders and could not figure out Mu Hua's identity, these flying riders would also take off to intimidate.

As a result, they were often greeted by dense bone teeth and group attacks of white bone souls.

Mu Hua was holding a demon skull in his hand. The skull with soul fire floating in his eye sockets seemed to be alive. It was a magic prop made of a real demon head. Its biggest function was to let Mu Hua foster the enhanced white bone soul he refined.

Mu Hua was not here to fight with the goblins. If the goblin cavalry did not come to him, he would not pay attention to them. And if those cavalry who came to him avoided him, Mu Hua would not chase them.

Seeing that the other party did not seem to have any ill intentions, the cavalry attacked by Mu Hua usually did not entangle with Mu Hua. Only after finding some tall trees, the magic dragon would swoop down, perhaps disturbing some nearby goblins who had been "chicken blood".

"Hu~~~!" Waves of flames emerged on a mountainside. The pure magic flames drew a line of fire that spread for thousands of meters. The waves of fire rolled down from the mountainside and ignited everything along the way.

Another place that did not receive any plant essence. There should have been a few ancient trees that could collect plant essence here, but unfortunately they should have been cut down by the goblins, leaving a few half-dead tree stumps.

Mu Hua released flames like he was venting his anger, and whoever he burned would be unlucky. This orange-red flame consumed less magic power than the white flame, so it was easier for Mu Hua to swing it casually, and it would not make Tricia beside him feel any burning discomfort.

Goblins can make wooden chariots towed by giant wolves, and they can also make some retro stone throwing tools.

Probably because the war is approaching, these goblins in the Goblin Kingdom have been destroying trees everywhere. Mu Hua is not angry that they can't find ancient trees, but it's a bit too much for you to leave us a stump, right?

Riding on the dragon again, Tricia looked at the fire all over the mountain, and then looked at the angry Mu Hua, and shrank her neck. She was considered to have slept with a man with a bad temper. For the sake of the safety of others, she should not flirt with other men casually in the future.

Of course, she hasn't seen the family rules drawn up by Samantha, otherwise, she probably wouldn't be thinking about the safety of other male compatriots. . .

After circling the sky above the Goblin Kingdom for nearly three hours, Mu Hua finally got a bunch of plant essence equivalent to a thousand-year-old tree. He felt that he had miscalculated.

The Goblin Kingdom has a lot of vegetation, but there are also a lot of monsters here. They cut down trees everywhere. They are really unscrupulous!

Changing direction, Mu Hua prepared to go to the clever forest area to have a look. There is a high demand for minerals there, and monsters will also use trees as shelters. They should not catch big trees and cause trouble.

Along the way, an ogre cave was found under a mountain. Where there are ogres, there are often giant monsters. In line with his love for giant monsters, Mu Hua threw them under the mountain with an earthquake wave.

The earthquake triggered landslides and scared the monsters out of the undefended ogre cave. The dragon swooped and glided, and the Thousand Needles Stone Forest created a wide range of stone cones, impaling the ogres and trolls in the On top of the stone cone.

After roughly cleaning up the fallen monsters and collecting the giant monsters that left corpses in the Burning Source Furnace, Mu Hua took off again. Perhaps because of the delay, a group of goblin flying knights appeared to be more elite than the regular flying knights. There is an intention to intercept Mu Hua.

"Magic dragon! You... uh... withdraw~!" There was a rough roar, and in front of a large number of giant bats was a Goblin general riding a manticore, and when the Goblin general saw the demon dragon clearly from a distance When Mu Hua was on his back, he let out a startled sound, grabbed the Manticore's mane, turned around and ran away.

"..." Mu Hua was also confused by the goblin general.

The large group of flying cavalry scattered and retreated, but the goblin general was caught by Mu Hua's mage.

"Creak~~Peng~!" The manticore that General Goblin was sitting on was strangled into several pieces by the soul tentacles, and in the blink of an eye a bloody light sprayed out in the sky, but General Goblin was dragged in front of him by Mu Hua.

In other words, if these flying cavalry were to run away, Mu Hua would not want to pay attention to them at first, but this Goblin General aroused Mu Hua's curiosity and simply captured it.

Riding armor, war hammer, soul tentacles tearing off its helmet, well, it looks a bit familiar.

"Are you...?" Mu Hua was not sure. After all, the Goblin General he had seen in this courtyard before seemed to have never taken off his helmet, well, including when he was crushed to death by him.

However, this guy seemed to be the Goblin general who led his troops to besiege him in his early years when he was still young, and later seemed to have killed it once on the star patrol battlefield.

At first it was wearing heavy armor and was led by elite bear goblins, but Mu Hua forgot its name.

"Dadarol!" The Goblin general who was placed on the back of the demon dragon by Mu Hua clenched his war hammer and stared at Mu Hua with some panic and some fierceness.

"Oh, yes, it is you. Have you been promoted or demoted?" Mu Hua, an old acquaintance, was kind. He pointed at the fleeing flying knights on the horizon and asked Dadalol.

Regardless of promotion or demotion, those flying cavalry are so agile in running. It seems that those flying cavalry are not too close to it.

"Hmph~!" Dadalol had a fierce look on his face and snorted coldly, as if he didn't bother to talk to Mu Hua. However, Mu Hua's magician's hand had already released it, and it assumed a defensive posture, but did not attack Mu Hua.

"Okay, it's not easy for you either. Take it off." He pointed at the war hammer in Dadalol's hand and then at the armor on his body. Mu Hua said boringly, feeling that this guy didn't want to communicate with him more.

"Huh?" Dadalol was confused, and the ferocity on his face became less fierce.

"Take it off, keep all your equipment, and give me the space props if you have them. I'll let you go. Or do you think I'm insulting you?" Mu Hua explained. As he spoke, the mage's hand reached towards Dadalol again. .

"Bang!" The warhammer was thrown on the spacious dragon's back. When the warhammer fell into place, Dardalor remembered that the ground was not the ground under his feet, and he wondered if it would cause the dragon to misunderstand.

"No, no, don't, I'll take it off!" Dadalol spread his hands, waved them repeatedly in front of Mu Hua, then pulled off his cage hand and gently threw it on the dragon's back.

Well, the Goblin General seemed quite stubborn before, but now he takes off his armor quite easily.

While Tricia was stunned for a moment, Dadalol had already stripped naked, with a crotch cloth wrapped around his waist and a necklace hanging around his neck. When Mu Hua looked at the necklace, he quickly explained that it was not a space. props.

It can bend and stretch. Although I don’t know how Mu Hua dealt with this goblin general, this is still the most bendable and stretchable projection monster that Tricia has ever seen.

Seeing that Mu Hua was still looking at the necklace around his neck, Dardalor gritted his teeth and did not dare to stamp his feet. He pulled off the necklace that had a certain lightening effect and showed Mu Hua a forced smile without any sincerity. .

"Well, let's go. You can't fall to death from this height, right?" Mu Hua nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the side, and said to the completely disarmed Goblin General.

He carefully stepped back, walked to the edge of the dragon's body, and looked at the height. Dadalol's face looked a little ugly, but the mage's hand came from behind and pushed it off the dragon's back.

"Fuck...damn it!" Dardalor scolded angrily, but when he spoke, he chose relatively harmonious words.

It wouldn't be able to kill it if dropped from this height, and it would be half disabled if it exploded with health, but that wouldn't necessarily be the case if Mu Hua wanted to continue to attack it.

"You just let it go? It should be considered a general, isn't it petrified?" Seeing Mu Hua take away the armor and war hammer of the Goblin General, Tricia asked doubtfully.

"No need, the Zhang Jiao in Tabitha's hand is quite capable. It might really be able to wipe out all the goblins here." Mu Hua smiled and waved his hand, choosing a direction where the beacon was burning, and let the magic dragon Fly that way.

Zhang Jiao, the goblin general who led the goblins to cause trouble, Mu Hua briefly explained, and Tricia understood his plan.

Zhang Jue not only consumed the resources of the Goblin King's men, but Mu Hua also wanted the Goblin King's men to consume the rebels who had defected to Zhang Jue's command.

In the end, it would be better if neither party could afford the projection sacrifice. Therefore, Mu Hua was still very harmonious in the Goblin Kingdom. . . (End of chapter)
