Chapter 716 - 679 Continue to Incorporate
The battle came to an end, and Da Fei successfully recruited all seven Hell Demon Foxes. Among them, Da Fei recruited three, and Elena recruited four. As for Anlicia and Selvia, there was nothing they could do; indeed, this Demon Fox could not be managed without Master Leadership Skill.
It had to be said that being able to recruit such high-level units with such an astonishing success rate was beyond imagination. This had already pushed the team’s advantage in Diplomacy to the extreme! Perhaps, under similar conditions, recruiting more advanced God-level units could allow progress to God-level Leadership Skill?
At this moment, looking at the seven newly joined Demon Foxes, whose sizes were similar to Griffins, Da Fei felt a mix of joy and concern. After all, these Demon Foxes’ Command Values were unusually tricky and might desert in battle. In any case, they could only be used as labor, which was exactly what was needed now.
So, there was nothing more to say, hurry and drag the two Earth Dragon corpses up from the mountain. With the addition of these seven Demon Foxes, dragging the corpses became significantly easier. Their claws, like iron hooks, gripped tightly onto the backs of the Earth Dragons, greatly enhancing transportation speed.
Thus, the first dragon corpse was smoothly pulled to Corpse Mountain with the support of the Holy Vine, and the entire group cheered!
Billbo was especially excited and exclaimed, "Lord City Lord, can I skin it now?"
Da Fei laughed, "Can you fit such a large dragon skin?"
Billbo confidently patted his elegantly decorated material bag, exclaiming, "Don’t worry, Lord City Lord! Even if it’s a few more Snake-necked Dragons, I can still fit them in!"
This material bag of his was probably similar in nature to the war machine space bag Go used for Crossbow Cannons. Da Fei couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Then get on with it! The whole army rests, prepare to transport the next one!"
Just then, a system prompt chimed:
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia has cast Master-level Light Magic "Resurrection Technique" on the dying Forest Goddess Army, reviving one member of the Forest Goddess Army.
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia has gained information about God-level Light Magic.
Oh yeah! Another resurrection and more God-level information! Just wanted to ask but didn’t get the chance!
Da Fei hurriedly approached Selvia excitedly and asked, "How’s it going? Have you grasped the secret to God-level magic?"
Selvia excitedly nodded repeatedly, "I got the insight from successfully resurrecting a member from the Elite Intelligence Angel. By focusing all strength on resurrecting a single unit, we might succeed. And crucially, our unit wasn’t dead but in a dying state, making resurrection possible!"
Da Fei suddenly realized, indeed, Go’s God-level Navigator Skill "survival will" was the key!
(Note: —Survival Will: At sea, heroes and hero units’ life and Stamina +50%. Once units fall due to combat fatigue or illness, they enter a dying state with 1 life point, lasting at least a day. This state also applies on land.)
In this volcanic Hell, if units truly died, they might not be revivable, but Go’s Divine Skill kept them breathing, making revival possible and opening the threshold for advancing to God-level!
Indeed! To think the elusive God-level Light Magic could be cultivated through such an easy way made Da Fei laugh heartily!
No, no, not easy at all! In such a tough and grueling training environment, many people wouldn’t even want to come—ha ha ha!
Wait, it’s too early to be happy. Go’s Divine Skill might only last a day in such harsh conditions, or perhaps not even that long. Once the time’s up, resurrection might truly become impossible.
And now, Selvia’s Mana completely depleted again, she needed to meditate to restore Mana. Time was tight and there was no way to save all units in time. Then there’s nothing left to say; with seven more strapping lads in the team, there’s no need for the Elite Intelligence Angel for transport anymore, now call her over to help with resurrection.
Time was pressing, hurry!
Now, Selvia re-entered meditation. The second Earth Dragon’s corpse was being transported up the mountain in an orderly manner. Billbo was diligently peeling the dragon skin, and his peeling speed was extremely slow, incomparable to the quickness of peeling Demon Scorpion skin earlier. The dragon skin was undoubtedly the bottleneck of his Master-level gathering skill. Heaven knows how much proficiency he’d gain from these two dragon skins, perhaps enough to advance to Grandmaster?
After all, the most valuable aspect of this mission was training the team and recruiting units!
Indeed, recruiting units! The Holy Vine is naturally a beast-taming cage, now having grown substantially. Surely, any Demon Wolf or Earth Dragon will be securely captured. Once caught by the Holy Vine, Go won’t be polite!
Da Fei, having tasted the sweetness felt eager for strong opponents to cause trouble. In Hell, where 500 Demon Essences were required to exchange for one Angel Army unit, directly recruiting Hell Creatures was the most cost-effective deal, never mind the various issues; they would find their use eventually.
As time passed, Selvia and the Elite Intelligence Angel revived another unit each and then returned to meditation. Tamilia was attentively gazing into the ground, obviously sensing the direction of the escaped Earth Dragon.
The second Earth Dragon corpse was successfully moved to place, and Billbo cheered and rushed towards the new target. After such a great effort, completing the Corpse Mountain allowed Da Fei to breathe a sigh of relief. Next time for battle, Go must have all tools ready; such annoying tasks can’t happen again.
At this moment, the Holy Vine’s branches writhed through the Corpse Mountain like a python, one after another, Raven corpses swiftly shriveled and turned to dust under the "touch" of the branches, and the speed of the Holy Vine’s growth-fed-feeding greatly increased, resembling Nasir Ancient Tree absorbing flesh and blood—a scene horrifying and disgusting, that Da Fei couldn’t bear to watch.
Go could swear, this Holy Vine was definitely a Demon Vine! But Go liked it—haha!
And the system didn’t disappoint Da Fei. Just as the whole army rested to recover Stamina, a red light flashed on the radar, indicating new prey! Oh yeah, making Go wait!
The Holy Vine now was no longer a seedling needing immediate support. So now tactics changed, Da Fei’s entire force withdrew from Corpse Mountain, hiding below the slope. Once the prey was caught, the army would swarm upon it. This way, unnecessary casualties would be avoided.
Here it came, truly returning old customers—seven Volcano Demon Wolves! No mistake this time, very well! Go beat them into submission.
The Demon Wolf Group approached, despite sensing the threat from Da Fei’s nearby forces, the temptation of food made them instinctively land on Corpse Mountain. Then with a green flash, the Demon Wolf Group let out a panicked cry like rats caught in a trap!
Ha ha ha! Can you escape? Da Fei waved his hand, the army surged forward to beat them half-dead first. The wolf pack howled desperately, their cries echoing through the valley, but it was useless!
—System Prompt: You applied Master-level Leadership Skill "War Intimidation" on Hell Volcano Demon Wolf, skill failed!
—System Prompt: ... skill failed!
No worries, failure is the mother of success! As the blood decreases, they will naturally realize.
Anlicia and Selvia were not far behind, each holding a raven trying in front of the wolf’s mouth. Of course, with their Master Leadership Skill, capturing Hell Wolves was nearly impossible, but should they succeed, it meant advancement. Come on, girls, try hard!
Now, having failed five times in succession, and with nothing gained by Elena, Da Fei started feeling something amiss. Why were the foxes so agreeable, yet the wolves not? Was it due to the creatures’ inherent traits? Yet wolves too are cunning, aren’t they?
Meanwhile, these trapped wolves were howling increasingly energetically, not about slowing down anymore, this was?
While puzzled, a wolf howl seemed faintly to come from afar! Damn, wasn’t this an echo? Was it summoning a wolf pack? Does it mean there are many more wolf packs here? But without being able to secure recruits, what’s the point?
It seems the comparison of forces between us and them isn’t enough to make the wolf pack submit. We must kill a few to set an example.
Just then, Anlicia frowned and said, "Lord City Lord, in a wolf pack the leader is certain, maybe having the leader prevents members from surrendering?"
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, makes sense! But the problem was, among these seven identical-sized Demon Wolves, which was the leader? Never mind, a few must be killed, whoever it is.
