Throne of Vientiane Civilization

The efficiency of the green lizard priests could basically be ignored, but Bolevin's action increased the efficiency of the entire canyon channel in an instant, and nearly 90% of the ruins were dealt with in a short period of time.

The remaining ten percent was not that it was too late to deal with, but that Zhou Xu deliberately kept it.

As mentioned before, at this stage, with the passage blocked, he can regain his strength more steadily.

By the way, Bo Levin, who had just completed the task of "cleaning up the ruins", also needed some time to recover. After all, high efficiency often means high consumption.

Therefore, let him continue to block the location of the canyon mouth first.

For Zhou Xu, the current ideal state is to restore all three extraordinary mages including himself, Boleven and Locke to their peak condition.

With three of their extraordinary mages standing guard, if the other side dared to summon a corpse demon, he would just stand there and stand still! Then let’s see what other tricks those greenskins can come up with for him!

Of course, this is only the most ideal situation.

In fact, a situation has already arisen on Locke's side at this moment.

After all, we are getting older, and as we get older, our energy begins to decline. This is basically a common problem for all living things.

The decline in energy will directly affect the state of meditation. After the decline reaches a certain level, you must go to sleep and rest.

Under this premise, Locke had experienced the effects of a long journey and the exhaustion of mantra power not long ago, making his current state worse.

It happened that at this time, because of the collapse of the canyon, they picked up Locke who was resting, put him on horseback and fled all the way.

Although the rocks did not crush him, the bumpy horseback almost killed him.

Zhou Xu had just visited him, and he was still paralyzed at the moment. Judging from how angry he was, he probably wouldn't be able to recover efficiently after that, and he couldn't say exactly how much time it would take.

For Zhou Xu, who wants to regain his lost ground as soon as possible, he may not be able to wait that long.

In response to this situation, Zhou Xu could only wait until then.

During this period of time, as an important investigation unit, their hot air balloon in Dazhou was obviously not idle. It flew to the oil village almost early the next morning to confirm the situation.

Then it was discovered that the oil village had indeed been damaged to a certain extent, but to say it was reduced to ruins was not that exaggerated.

During this period, those greenskins undoubtedly continued to be stationed in the oil village.

As for the corpse demon, he has completely disappeared!

After confirming this situation, they hurried back and reported to Zhou Xu.

After listening to the latest report, Zhou Xu's face darkened.

"Have you checked all around?"

"Reporting to your majesty, I have searched all around and found no trace of the corpse demon at all!"

They are all professionals when it comes to performing reconnaissance missions, so they will naturally not make such low-level mistakes.

Not to mention that the corpse demon is a big guy dozens of meters tall. If it is really nearby, they can't miss it no matter what.

"How many green-skinned troops can be confirmed?"

"A rough estimate is that there are only four to five hundred that can be seen. We also found a lot of giant wolf mounts of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, at least three hundred."

There are houses and buildings in their oil village, and those greenskins are not stupid. They cannot stay in the open air, so they can only see part of them.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Follow-up reconnaissance will continue, so don't relax."

The biggest advantage of hot air balloon reconnaissance is that it has a wide field of vision at high altitude and high reconnaissance efficiency, making it suitable for opening maps.

But the disadvantage is that the reconnaissance time of the hot air balloon is limited by fuel. At the same time, the movement of the hot air balloon depends on the wind, and the wind is uncontrollable, which makes them almost always in a state of flight.

Only when flying over can one confirm the status of the target and obtain intelligence. There is no way to stay over the oil village and monitor it.

Therefore, their entire action process basically maintains a cycle of setting off, confirming the target situation, returning to replenish fuel, and then setting off again.

Inherently not suitable for fixed surveillance tasks.

Looking at the retreating scouts, Zhou Xu's face gradually became serious.

After withstanding the series of bombardments from their explosive barrels, the corpse demon's size at that time should have been suppressed to the level of seventy meters.

In addition, during the action, the corpse demon itself will also consume energy.

Let's just assume that the corpse demon's size has dropped below seventy meters, but even so, such a giant cannot be dealt with by ordinary means.

Under this premise, the intelligence brought back by the scouts also mentioned that although the oil village was damaged, it was not completely reduced to ruins.

This shows that the corpse demon was dealt with before it had time to show its destructive power.

Combining all kinds of information together, if the corpse demon was not lured away by the other party, Zhou Xu could only draw one conclusion, that is, among the green-skinned troops, there is at least a strong person in the Transcendent Realm or the Hundred Refining Realm. exist!

In the following days, further reconnaissance results by the scouts basically confirmed Zhou Xu's guess.

A behemoth like that will inevitably leave huge footprints when moving, and may even cause significant damage to the environment along the way.

However, in the area, except for the traces left along the way when Xuan Yu led the corpse demon to the oil village, there are basically no other unnecessary traces.

This made Zhou Xu basically certain that it was the strong men in the green-skinned troops who took action and eliminated the corpse demon in a short time.

This is obviously not good news for them, and it also makes Zhou Xu feel a lingering fear.

The hidden strongman on the opposite side has not made a move before.

Imagine if there was no landslide at that time, but the lizardmen arrived in time, and Bo Levin took action to directly deal with the corpse demon, what would the situation be like afterwards?

In that situation, they would naturally turn defense into offense and pursue the victory.

At that time, the hidden strongman on the opposite side will make a move...

When Zhou Xu thought of this, his face became obviously ugly.

The routine of this green skin is also deeper than he expected!

While thinking about it, Zhou Xu called Jie Liancheng, Zhou Chongshan and Bo Levin to discuss the matter.

The content of the discussion naturally revolved around the strong man in the opposite green skin army.

There is nothing much to say about Bo Lewen. With his talent of "controlling hand" and "telekinesis", he dares to fight even if there is a supernatural wizard or a warrior in the Hundred Refining Realm on the opposite side.

To be frank, he has not met many opponents of the same level.

When he was at his peak, he could not raise his head.

A sentence of "It's all up to your majesty's orders!" was enough.

In comparison, Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan are much more low-key at this moment.

Although Xie Liancheng said that his injury was not serious during the previous chat, it was undoubtedly "hard talk" that accounted for the vast majority.

He will not die, but his injury is not a minor one, and he will not recover in ten days or half a month.

Especially Xie Liancheng. In addition to the injuries on his body, he also suffered from the overload brought to his body by the frequent use of "Lightning Dance". During this period of time, his muscles were in tearing pain. A while ago, he had to gasp for breath every time he moved a few times. It was only in the past two days that he felt a little better. His condition was even more serious than Zhou Chongshan's.
