"Damn it! This ghost place makes my hair stand on end. No wonder so many caravans have mysteriously disappeared. If someone ambush and launch an attack at a high place, I'm afraid not many people will be able to escape alive."

Rhett couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Not to mention him, even Wilmes, who has always been proud of himself, doesn’t look very good.

Because in this environment, even if she changes back to the red dragon form, she may be crushed to death by a boulder pushed down from a height.

Although the dragon is physically very powerful, it is not invincible.

At least in the face of falling rocks weighing several tons, they are no different from other creatures.

And because the passage is too narrow, there is a certain probability that Wilmes will be stuck in the middle of the passage and unable to move.

"It seems we need to search both sides of the cliff."

Vanessa gives her own advice.

As a local of Zhazesibo, he has long heard many rumors about this valley.

However, due to the mage's unique indifference and arrogance, he never took those caravans that disappeared inexplicably as a thing, let alone cared about their life and death.

"Have you memorized [Flying Technique] today?" Zuo Si suddenly asked.

Vanessa nodded without thinking: "Yes. Considering the terrain here, I memorized a three-ring [Flying Technique]. However, there seem to be a lot of people in the team. I'm afraid I can't let everyone fly up.

."

"It doesn't matter, I have a magic wand that can just make up for this shortcoming."

With that said, Zuo Si took out the [Memory Wand] that he had never used much and handed it over.

"[Memory Wand]? This is a good thing!"

Vanessa is indeed a LV15 high-level mage. She recognized the four-ring spell stored in the wand as soon as she got it.

With this thing, you can instantly restore any three-ring magic in today's memory.

Just when he was about to start chanting a spell to release the [Flying Technique], a creepy sound suddenly came from the top of one of the cliffs.

Click——click——click——

Huntington, who had a keen sense of hearing, suddenly changed his face and immediately issued a warning: "This is the sound made when wood is crushed and broken by a heavy object! Someone above should be pushing a quite huge stone!"

"What?!"

Wilmes wanted to transform into a red dragon on the spot and see if he could climb up the cliff and burn those bastards pushing rocks to death with his flame breath.

But before she could take any actual action, Zuo Si raised his hand to stop her reckless behavior: "Relax, do you think I rashly approached this valley without making any preparations?"

The words have not yet been spoken!

Thousands of shadowy creatures emerged from the cliffs on both sides.

Like a black tide, they directly submerged the ogres who were pushing the stones hard.

The latter didn't even have time to react before he was killed alive by the negative energy generated by the touch of the incorporeal body, and then became a member of the Shadow Army.

Several hill giants who were holding rocks high and ready to throw them down were immediately frightened and hurriedly threw the rocks in their hands towards the shadow.

As expected, they all passed through.

Because they are incorporeal creatures and are made of pure energy, pure physical attacks without any magic such as stones cannot cause even a little bit of damage to them.

"The information we received was wrong! Where did so many shadow creatures come from?" A woman wearing a dark red robe asked sternly.

In order to prevent these shadows from approaching her, she released [Protection from Evil] and [Mage Armor] as quickly as possible.

The former can effectively protect against attacks by evil creatures, while the force field generated by the latter can resist the touch of incorporeal creatures.

"Don't ask me! How do I know! The top priority now is to retreat quickly! Even if we add magic wands, we can't kill so many shadows."

Another male mage also quickly applied protective magic to himself.

However, these attacks are obviously not as smart as these two mages.

Several arcane spell casters did not even use protective magic, but directly aimed at the swarming shadows and began to release [Fireball], [Lightning], [Burning Hand], [Fire Sphere], and [Scorching Ray].

] and other large-scale destructive energy-building magic.

Suddenly, various flames and lightning on the cliffs on both sides lit up the black night sky.

Although at the beginning, they did kill hundreds of low-level shadows.

But soon, when the first round of actual spell combat was completed, more shadows rushed out from all directions, easily killing these guys who lacked magic protection.

Others try to use [Wall of Force] to build a line of defense that incorporeal creatures cannot overcome.

But soon I discovered that an astonishing number of shadows suddenly appeared behind me.

As a result, the [Power Wall Technique] just released became an obstacle preventing him from retreating and escaping.

The most important thing is that the dispatch of the Shadow Legion directly disrupted the enemy's deployment.

As a result, a large number of boulders and stones piled on both sides of the cliff could not be pushed down at all.

At the same time, they also bought enough time for Vanessa to calmly give everyone the [Flying Technique] effect.

In about a few minutes, Zuo Si and others flew up from the bottom of the valley.

He first inspected the battlefield with the magic glasses he had just put on, and then directly ordered the strange objects: "Control those hill giants, don't let them die accidentally."

"As you wish."

The strange object immediately responded through the spiritual connection, and at the same time took over Wilmes' body, quickly flew over and threw out the mind control.

Instantly!

The four hill giants just stood there with stupid expressions.

Although they were not very smart to begin with, they have obviously become stupider now.

Fortunately, the Shadow Legion also received new orders and did not continue to attack. Otherwise, although the giant's vitality is relatively tenacious, it cannot withstand the terrifying negative energy generated by the touch of dozens of shadows.

You don't need to ask to know that Zuo Si plans to make all these hill giants into creature cards after the battle is over.

With the addition of two spellcasters, Alena and Vanessa, those mages, warlocks and priests among the enemies who were still desperately resisting suffered disaster one after another.

Especially the latter, who has rich experience in spell duels, released the four-ring magic [Dimensional Anchor] almost immediately, blocking a guy who wanted to use teleportation magic to escape.

Immediately afterwards, he released [Heavy Mist Technique] to block the sight of enemy spellcasters, providing more opportunities for shadows to sneak attacks.

But this isn’t the end yet!

As a LV15 Necromancer, Vanessa unceremoniously used the corpses of dead enemies to release the terrifying [Animated Army of the Dead].

All the corpses lying on the ground stood up in just a few seconds!

Some of them were directly transformed into zombies, while others were left with only a bloody skeleton.

Just as some priests were holding up their holy symbols and trying to use [Rebuke Undead Creatures] to control these undead, Vanessa sneered and used the most lethal of the five-ring magic [Death Cloud Technique].

When the yellow-green poisonous cloud spread among the enemies, more than half of the low-level mages and priests died suddenly on the spot.

With their fragile vitality, they are unable to withstand the harm caused to the body by the poisonous cloud.

After all, this poisonous cloud created through magic is much more lethal than 99% of the chemical weapons on the earth.

Ordinary people will die immediately if they get even a tiny bit of it, not to mention taking a breath.

Similarly, the higher-level spellcasters are not much stronger.

Anyone affected by [Death Cloud Technique] will immediately begin to suffer from severe coughing, vomiting blood, convulsions and other poisoning symptoms. It is impossible to chant the spell, let alone enter a state of concentration in spell casting.

Alaina is as simple and crude as ever, constantly releasing various fire magics, burning the remaining enemies to ashes one after another.

Even those who turned around and wanted to escape were called out by Huntington who flew into the air.

Relying on his condescending advantage, he maximized the power of [Strong Arm Bow].

Even some armors that look quite strong will be easily penetrated by enchanted arrows, and then be overwhelmed by shadows or low-level undead.

The so-called battle between spellcasters is actually a competition between who is more prepared and who has more resources, wealth and intelligence.

Obviously, Zuo Si now has an overwhelming advantage in this regard.

And as time goes by, this advantage will snowball and become bigger and bigger.

He himself didn't even take action from beginning to end, and the battle had already come to an end.

After confirming that there were no threats around him, he landed on the ground and captured the four hill giants first.

Although this creature with relatively low intelligence is only slightly stronger than a half-giant, it is still a member of the giant group.

With a little upgrade, you can instantly become a powerful warrior and human shield.

After all this was done, Zuo Si turned around and asked Qiwu: "How is it? Did you just read the enemy's memory and thinking?"

"Yes, Master. I read it. Most of these guys are members of the Zhentarim. They set up an ambush here under Manzon's order and want to seize a chest from you. In order to achieve this goal,

They cooperated with the Dragon Worship Cult, which has a secret base nearby, and set up ambushes around the valley."

Qiwu explained all the information it had obtained through spiritual connection.

"Where is the stronghold of the Dragon Worship Cult? Is there anything dangerous hidden inside?" Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and asked.
