Struggle in the Steam Age

As the black candle burned, a trace of black mist mixed with red light climbed up the candle wick made of light, and then was thrown into the flame as fuel. The filthy power burned by the flames fed back the purified power to Lawrence at the same time. He could feel that as the flames burned, his practice speed doubled compared to the past.

At the same time, fragments of memory also melted into Lawrence's mind as the flame burned. He saw such a picture all at once: In a world dominated by red and black, an undead red dragon covering the sky and an army of holy light fighting to the death, and in the end due to being outnumbered and outnumbered. fall.

The corpse of the undead red dragon that fell into the magma began to drift with the current in a muddle, until one day the plane it was in disintegrated, and then formed a new plane with another pile of things

Then a kobold accidentally discovered the corpse, and through bloody sacrifices and the belief of the kobolds awakened the dragon soul that was about to dissipate in the corpse.

In the deal with this dragon soul, that kobold became stronger day by day. At the same time, it also unified all the kobolds in this astral plane called the sea and flames, and became the king of the kobolds in this plane. Just when it was thinking about what to do next, it successfully captured several scouts who had entered this space ahead of time for the purpose of scouting.

Through reading the memories of these people, the kobold leader immediately realized that this was a good opportunity for him, a good opportunity to get out of this small world and truly become a strong man.

So he used the severely damaged dragon soul to modify the memories of the scouts and put them back, hoping to attract a large number of extraordinary people into this plane through them.

But just when the kobold leader felt that he was the chosen one, he was able to use this trap to lure, kill and sacrifice those transcendents who participated in the competition, and use the sacrifice to break the imprisonment of this astral plane facing him in one fell swoop, and finally set foot on his own. When he was on his way to become a strong man, he actually fell into the trap of the severely injured dragon soul.

After finding himself trapped in this pocket astral plane before, the undead red dragon soul who regained a little consciousness has been trying to leave here and resurrect. But unfortunately, after the kobold tribe was unified, the kobold leader's exploration information on the entire astral plane proved that this plane did not have the resources to build space gates at all.

This result really frustrated the dragon remnant soul, but those transcendents who entered this plane for the game to scout in advance made him hope again.

So the dragon remnant soul gave the kobold leader a blood sacrifice when he asked for it. It told the other party that this method would allow him to break through this plane's restrictions on the level of a transcendent, and then absorb the power of the entire plane as fuel to leave this small plane.

But all of this is a lie of the dragon soul. It is impossible for the flesh and blood of hundreds of black iron-level transcendents to cause any damage to a stable astral plane, let alone absorb the power of the plane. Even with the current strength of the dragon's remnant soul, it is impossible to sacrifice so many people in one breath to improve the ability of the kobold leader. Everything it said was just used to deceive this kobold leader who had never been in contact with the outside world and had a lot of common sense.

There is only one real function of the blood sacrifice magic ceremony, and that is to eliminate other people's souls as sacrifices, and then help the dragon's remnant soul find a body to possess.

According to the plan of the dragon remnant soul, it will choose to kill most of the contestants and the leader of the kobolds as a sacrifice to help itself occupy the body of a contestant, and then leave this position among the remaining few surviving contestants noodle.

It has to be said that this is a genius idea, but what the dragon remnants didn't expect was that it would be so unlucky to meet a warlock like Lawrence who inherited the blood of a very high-level divine beast.

You must know that even after a few years of cultivation, this giant dragon remnant soul can barely return to the level of a professional level, and it can only exert the ability of an ordinary professional-level transcendent at most when it loses its body. Now this dragon soul can The overwhelming advantage over others is purely due to the extremely high personality possessed as a demigod-level undead red dragon during his lifetime.

However, once this kind of suppression on the personality fails, it will be as fragile as a tortoise whose shell has been removed. Not to mention that Lawrence's Bai Ze blood was born to restrain such undead creatures.

So, by mistake, Lawrence successfully killed the real behind-the-scenes boss of this astral plane. At the same time, he also obtained a harvest that was absolutely beyond his previous imagination.

Although because his level is too low now, the efficiency of using the dragon soul that has been imprisoned by him is extremely low. But just the initial energy sucking can double the speed of Lawrence's practice.

Not to mention that with the burning of the candle transformed from the dragon soul, some memory fragments were slowly acquired by Lawrence. Although most of these fragments are extremely boring daily activities such as eating, sleeping, hunting, etc., as long as a former demigod has a little bit of supernatural knowledge in his memory, he can gain a lot.

After briefly checking his gains, Lawrence began to wake up the unconscious teammates one by one. Because Lawrence had consciously turned the battlefield outward, his teammates had no problems except two or three who were burned and almost the same number who suffered some skin trauma.

"Thank God, no one was seriously injured." Lawrence thought so, reaching out to the space pocket on his waist. As a person who has received professional medical training, he naturally has a lot of medicine in his space pocket. Among them, there are medicines that are very suitable for this situation.

"Let me see, yes, this is it." After resuscitating everyone with the special smelling salts he carried, everyone was shocked by the kobolds who fell to the ground in front of them.

"Okay, everyone, don't be dazed, let's kill these kobolds first, these are all points." Lawrence said, retrieved his rifle and put a bayonet on it, and then stabbed a kobold in the throat .

The next time is the time to score points, but because Lawrence just killed the kobold leader and saved everyone, those extraordinary people gave half of the unconscious kobolds to Lawrence and his team. As Zhu Yan said, it is very lucky to be saved, and one must know how to be grateful.

Lawrence had time to look at the magic imprint on his arm that represented his current score when he settled all the kobolds lying on the ground. He was surprised to find that the number displayed on it was actually 3462.

"Why are there so many?" Lawrence frowned and pressed his hand on this number and began to check the list. Soon he found a message that a task marked with 3000 points had been completed. .

"Complete 30% of the kobold tribe's suppression mission. Is it true that the kobold leader is considered to represent 30% of the kobold tribe's level?" Lawrence frowned at first, but soon calmed down again. "That's right. This group of kobolds is all united by this one kobold leader. There is nothing wrong with saying that it represents the kobold tribe."

"By the way, where are the reinforcements?" After killing more than 300 kobolds, Lawrence suddenly discovered a problem. "I just released the smoke for help, and now more than half an hour has passed, why is there no reinforcements?"

"Isn't something going to happen?" John stepped forward and said, "We have encountered such a strange kobold here, and there are more kobolds on their side, maybe there are more difficult enemies to deal with."

From the memory fragments he obtained just now, Lawrence naturally knew that the kobolds at the fortress were purely bait, and there were no difficult enemies except for an ordinary official-level shaman who was relatively strong.

Of course, he couldn't tell others about these things. So after a brief thought, Lawrence asked everyone to collect the trophies and repair them by the way, and set off after 15 minutes.

"You must know that our people are still too small, and they are obviously not as strong as the main force." Watching everyone go to collect the spoils one after another, Lawrence explained to Paladin John with an anxious expression on his face. "So we'd better take a break and adjust to the best state. Only in this way can we ensure that we can perform at our best in the next potentially dangerous mission."
