Provoking Liu Yuchen
With a slap of the Beast Soul, the three Old Ghost floated out.
"Shouldn't you teach me your skill of hiding things in your mouths?" Li Wei said with a forced smile.
The three Old Ghost were taken aback at first. They had heard Li Wei mention it before and were very curious about the magic of Mouth Storage. The three of them had readily agreed to teach Li Wei. However, many things happened afterward, and the matter was gradually forgotten by both sides. Now that Li Wei had brought it up again, there was no reason for them to refuse.
After all, their own life essence was locked within that Beast Soul Sword, and their lives were entirely in Li Wei's hands. They had no choice but to agree. Moreover, the spell of Mouth Storage wasn't something so precious that it couldn't be easily passed on. So, the three ghosts, one after another, told Li Wei the incantation of the spell.
In the eyes of the three ghosts, Li Wei's aptitude was beyond question. Not only was his physical body strong, but his true essence was also quite powerful, not to mention his abnormal demon bloodline. Therefore, they were not worried that Li Wei would not be able to master the essence of the 'Mouth Storage' technique.
In fact, as Destroyer, Li Wei only needed to hear the incantation once, and it was as if it were engraved in his mind. After practicing it a few times with his eyes closed, he mastered the basic usage.
Li Wei tossed the Dragon Jade into the air, made several complex hand seals, and simultaneously opened his mouth to spew out a stream of light. The light quickly enveloped the Dragon Jade, and the next second it re-entered Li Wei's mouth, disappearing along with the Dragon Jade.
The next time Li Wei opened his mouth, he spat out a stream of light, and the Dragon Jade reappeared in his hand the following second.
"That's amazing!" Li Wei couldn't help but exclaim.
Even Zheng Yutong and An Hei had the same expression. They had never seen such a magical spell before. Li Wei, who was feeling the wonder of the new spell, looked at the three ghosts and An Hei and chuckled, "You three, could you teach this spell to my friend as well? It would be best if you could improve his combat power!"
This idea came to Li Wei on a whim, but the three ghosts' answer left him somewhat helpless.
"The master's two friends are not suited to cultivating magic. Moreover, they have no true qi, no true essence, and no spiritual energy required to cast spells, so..." The three ghosts looked somewhat helpless.
Li Wei was taken aback, forgetting that his skills were all geared towards cultivation, while Zheng Yutong and An Hei did not belong to this category, and were therefore not suitable for cultivating such obviously cultivation-type spells.
Having figured this out, Li Wei didn't force it, since both Zheng Yutong and An Hei had their own suitable areas for improvement.
Li Wei suddenly remembered that killing the Sacred Dragon Gaia should also count as completing a mission, as it would not only reward him with a large number of points, but also an S-level Skill Book.
It was Li Wei's Mighty Gorgon that killed Gaia, so Li Wei was also the one who completed the mission. After examining the Black Paper, Li Wei found the S-level Skill Book.
"Water magic, Mirror Image, S-rank skill, can completely copy the target, fight for you!"
That's an insane skill!
Li Wei knew very well that the Mirror Image was a rather abnormal skill in the Heroes of Might and Magic world. In battle, it could copy powerful creatures from both sides, thereby enslaving them to fight for one's own sake. Moreover, the copied Mirror Image possessed all the abilities of the copied creature, which was why this magic was considered abnormal.
Imagine this: no matter what kind of enemy you encounter, you can simply use a Mirror Image to create a copy of the opponent with the exact same combat power. This alone gives you a huge advantage.
Li Wei excitedly tried to learn this skill, only to receive a prompt that made him want to vomit blood.
"This skill can only be learned when one has reached the Grandmaster level in water magic!"
It turned out to be an S-rank skill that couldn't be learned, and neither Zheng Yutong nor An Hei were proficient in water magic. Helpless, Li Wei had no choice but to swallow this powerful Skill Book as well.
"I can only try to improve that damned water magic later!" Li Wei thought helplessly.
Now that Li Wei has obtained a piece of Dragon Jade, it means that he has taken the initiative. If 'Liu Yuchen' wants to collect all the Dragon Jade, he must contact Li Wei and then find a way to get his hands on the Dragon Jade. That would solve everything.
With one month left to survive the three-month mission requirement, the available troops are more than enough to withstand the upcoming Sacred Dragon attack.
Of course, the danger is no longer limited to the Sacred Dragon. Liu Yuchen, having learned that the Dragon Jade has been taken, will not give up so easily. In this world of Heroes of Might and Magic, the level and number of troops at one's disposal are often more important than individual combat strength.
After pondering for a moment, Li Wei said, "Let's try to build up our forces as much as possible. If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Yuchen will come after us soon!"
"Not necessarily. How could he know that we obtained the Dragon Jade?" Zheng Yutong expressed her doubt.
Li Wei laughed heartily, "Yu Tong, think about it, if you were in their shoes, and you were so worried about someone taking the Dragon Jade you obtained, what would you do?"
Zheng Yutong pondered for a while before suddenly realizing, "The one who can retrieve the Dragon Jade must be a reincarnated being. Therefore, if I were Liu Yuchen, I would definitely search for all the reincarnated beings..."
"Hiss," Zheng Yutong couldn't help but gasp as she said this. This was the so-called principle of "better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free." It was just that this method was a bit too direct, but it was undeniably the most effective method.
"Therefore, he is more anxious than we are. In the next month, he probably won't have the mind to continue accumulating troops, and he will have to keep searching for surviving reincarnators. After all, you can't do two things at once, while we can confidently and boldly accumulate troops before he finds us!"
... At the Ice Snow Cliff, the Necromancer controlled by Liu Yuchen stared at the missing Sacred Dragon King Gaia with a ferocious expression.
In an instant, he thought of those reincarnated beings; each of them was a suspect. Liu Yuchen currently possessed five pieces of Dragon Jade, but unexpectedly, a problem arose with the last one.
Of course, the most suspicious one is the Destroyer. Liu Yuchen remembered that when he last seized the third Dragon Jade, his notes on 'Dragon Power' fell into the hands of the Destroyer.
Therefore, that person is the most likely to have secretly 'kidnapped' Gaia. However, the Sacred Dragon King possesses S2-level combat power; even his true form would have no chance of taking Gaia away from so many Sacred Dragon guards. How did that young Destroyer manage to do it?
Liu Yuchen was completely baffled.
But no matter what, the last piece of Dragon Jade cannot be lost.
The Dragon Power was a formidable force he had been searching for for a long time. With it, he could directly advance to the S5 level or higher. At that time, even the Main God would not be able to do anything to him.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Yuchen, in his Necromancer, snorted coldly, "Hmph, there's still a month left before the mission deadline. Well then, I'll use this time to kill all the reincarnators. Whoever captured Gaia, they'll have to give her back!"
Thus began the hunt for the reincarnators.
During the two months in the mission world, only a dozen or so top-tier reincarnators survived.
In the forest area, several reincarnators gathered to discuss mission details. They had already thwarted eight consecutive Sacred Dragon attacks. Although their forces had been depleted after each battle, their overall numbers were increasing. In any case, with their current forces, surviving the three-month mission period shouldn't be a problem.
However, they were arguing about something at that moment: just a few days ago, they had discovered a 'Magic Forest'.
The 'Magic Forest' is a wilderness troop recruitment point where you can recruit the terrifying 'Purple Dragon' troop.
Purple Dragon, Dragon Tribe skilled in magic, has average melee combat abilities, but is a natural-born magic master. Recruiting such a creature would make it much easier for them to complete the mission deadline, and if there were enough Purple Dragon, defeating the so-called Sacred Dragon Gaia in the mission would not be difficult.
The problem is that to recruit the Purple Dragon, you must defeat the guardians of the Magic Forest, which are three Purple Dragons.
This is also what they were arguing about; after all, defeating three Purple Dragon wouldn't be a complete victory without taking any damage, and there would always be a price to pay.
Just then, a strange laugh interrupted their argument, "Since you both enjoy arguing so much, then let's go down there and argue together!"
These reincarnators were no ordinary people; they quickly looked up and saw a pale, white figure standing on a tree. Some with good memories recognized the person.
"Aren't you that... Necromancer?"
"Damn, this kid looks a bit weird, everyone be careful!"
"Yeah, didn't that strongman suspect that the four people, including this guy, were monsters? I thought about it later, and maybe it really is this kid. Look at how skinny and pale he is, he must be possessed by a 'monster'. Why don't we take him down this time? Maybe we can complete our first mission and get that S-rank Skill Book!"
The last reincarnator's words invigorated everyone, and their faces now showed greed as they looked at the Necromancer in the tree.
S-rank Skill Book are extremely rare and hard to come by. Even A-rank and B-rank Skill Book are incredibly expensive in Shadow Street. As for S-rank Skill Book, these reincarnators have never even seen one, which shows just how valuable they are to them.
"Foolish Earthlings!" Liu Yuchen sneered from the tree branch, then coldly shouted, "Corpse Explosion, activate!"
Bang!
With a muffled thud, a burst of brutal flesh and blood exploded from between several reincarnators. This attack was extremely sudden; almost everyone was caught off guard and their bodies were pierced by the rapidly splattering flesh and bone. Those with combat power below B-rank were killed instantly, and even those above B-rank, or even A-rank, lost their fighting ability in an instant.
