The saliva in the Water Element Ogre's mouth splattered, flowing from its open, foul-smelling mouth. It had only tasted human flesh once in its memory.
That was so long ago that it had forgotten the taste.
Bang—bang!
Its thick, powerful legs sprinted across the mossy ground.
The Water Element Ogre eagerly wanted to devour the arrogant human, but its fierce eyes also held a hint of caution.
It wasn't truly brainless. Relying on its "Water Mist Transformation" ability, even the powerful Hero King couldn't do anything to it, let alone a weaker human.
The human before it didn't seem like one of those from the Holy Kingdom in the rumors.
"This is the Hills, not a place where you humans can set foot. Turn into meat for me!" the Water Element Ogre roared.
"Even though you're a superior species of Ogre, you still don't seem very smart. It's indeed asking too much to expect a guy like you to have brains."
Tang Zheng stood on the thick tree trunk, his gaze calm. He raised a finger and pointed forward: "Magic Arrow!"
Experience Bar: 421356/510000
Ten semi-transparent arrows of light shot out in unison towards the oncoming Water Element Ogre.
Under the passive ability of the Magic Transcendenter, casting First Tier Magic now only consumed a little Mana, but he was currently using Experience Points to cast.
Since he planned to research the experiment after the Ninja class disappeared, he would inevitably have to expend Experience Points. Instead of wasting them, he might as well use them to solve these small troubles.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The arrows of light flew, reaching the Water Element Ogre in the blink of an eye. The Ogre didn't make any attempt to dodge, instead allowing the Magic Arrows to hit its body.
With soft "pa" sounds.
Go Gin's white pupils widened slightly as he clearly saw the points where the Magic Arrows made contact with the Water Element Ogre turning into balls of water mist.
The arrows passed through the Ogre's body.
The Water Element Ogre had used the same method to evade his attack earlier.
"Oh?"
The White Mist Witch leaned forward, her bright yellow eyes showing surprise. The ability displayed by this Water Element Ogre was somewhat similar to her own.
"Hmph hahaha, useless human!"
The Water Element Ogre let out a wild laugh, its massive figure already charging below the tree. It raised the nail-studded club in its hand and swung it at the location of Tang Zheng and the White Mist Witch: "Die!!"
Looking up at the Attribute Panel, there was no information displayed.
The "Water Mist Transformation" technique used by the Water Element Ogre just now was not Magic or a Skill, but a natural ability of its race.
Too bad.
This was a pretty good ability, possessing immunity to flying projectiles and the ability to evade some purely physical attacks.
Tang Zheng's face under the red hood was expressionless: "You're lucky, you idiot. I've been eating vegetarian lately, abstaining from killing."
"Sand Domain - All!"
Experience Bar: 171356/510000
Buzz—
In an instant.
A giant magic circle, shimmering with magical light and about ten meters in size, appeared out of nowhere on the moss-covered ground.
It not only enveloped the Water Element Ogre, but also covered Go Gin, who was standing not far away with a wary expression.
Earthy-brown light flickered on the magic circle.
Go Gin and the Water Element Ogre simultaneously felt a terrifying energy fluctuation.
"Idiot!"
Go Gin's expression changed drastically, and he cursed in a low voice, rushing towards the outer edge of the magic circle without hesitation.
Rumble!
The earthy-brown light on the magic circle flashed violently, and a large amount of yellow sand gushed out from the entire magic circle, instantly transforming into a fierce yellow torrent.
The Water Element Ogre was bound and enveloped by the quicksand without any ability to resist, only its head was exposed, forcibly locked in place.
"Force Strike!"
Go Gin roared, and a wild and overbearing power erupted from the mace as he swung his thick and powerful arms.
Bang—
A large amount of quicksand that wanted to bind Go Gin was shattered by the strike, turning into tiny particles of quicksand that splashed in all directions.
But such a fierce blow could not have an effective impact on the constantly surging quicksand from all directions.
"As long as I leave the magic circle—"
Go Gin stomped hard, shaking off the quicksand that quickly submerged his ankles: "Flow Acceleration!"
A blue luster flashed across his strong body, forcibly breaking through layers of quicksand barriers, and he moved towards the air, intending to completely break out of the magic circle's encirclement.
Suddenly.
A stream of quicksand like a swimming snake wrapped around Go Gin's ankle, causing Go Gin's movements to stagnate, and then his entire body became stiff.
Bang! Go Gin fell from the air, plunged into the quicksand, and was quickly surrounded by the quicksand, also only exposing his head.
"Damn it!"
"Mist—Mist!"
Go Gin and the Water Element Ogre struggled non-stop, but they couldn't break free from the shackles of the quicksand at all, and even Martial Arts and Magic could not be activated normally.
"Sand Domain" is originally a binding type of movement hindering Magic, and also has effects such as silencing, unless it has "Complete Movement Hindrance Resistance."
Obviously, neither Go Gin nor the Water Element Ogre possessed this ability. "It's over."
Tang Zheng clapped his palms together, and the disguised voice let out a hoarse sneer: "250,000, even killing you two is not worth this price."
Go Gin's face was very ugly, and his forceful struggle caused the quicksand to make a "creaking" sound, but he still couldn't break free from the shackles of the quicksand.
"You've come looking for me, haven't you!"
Go Gin raised his head, looking at Tang Zheng standing on the tree trunk: "I don't remember knowing a powerful Magic Caster like you."
That mysterious Demi-human wrapped in white mist had been secretly following him, and the appearance of this human spellcaster was clearly related to it, so it wasn't hard to guess.
Go Gin kept recalling, after all, he had a certain status in the Empire, and was known in various countries for his strength, yet he was bound by Magic.
Was this power Fifth Tier Magic? A Hero Domain expert! He had never heard of a powerful Magic Caster dressed like Tang Zheng.
"Why can't I use my power? What have you done, human!" The Water Element Ogre's face showed a look of panic, and he opened his throat to shout and scream.
"Noisy."
"Fire."
Pa! Tang Zheng snapped his fingers, and the quicksand that enveloped the Water Element Ogre and Go Gin instantly became scorching hot, emitting intense heat.
"Aaaargh!"
"Ughaaargh!"
Go Gin and the Water Element Ogre simultaneously let out painful screams, their bodies wrapped in quicksand were corroded by the scorching heat, constantly burning.
「Sand Domain」was Kingdom Destroyer's original Magic, in addition to the Magic's own abilities, it could also inject negative energy into the sand.
Tang Zheng had not mastered negative energy, but he could use the [Magic Swordsman's] passive ability 「Mana Infusion」 to inject fire attribute energy into the sand.
Demi-human Races like Ogres, Trolls, and the like were very afraid of fire and acid damage, and this type of damage could also restrain their regenerative abilities.
"Don't kill me, aargh... don't kill me!" The Water Element Ogre howled in pain, constantly begging for mercy.
Pa! The sound of fingers snapping rang out again.
The fire attribute energy pouring into the quicksand dissipated, and the heatwave formed by the high temperature dispelled the humidity in the air.
Large patches of moss on the ground were charred and scorched due to the high temperature.
The Water Element Ogre's eyes rolled back, his body twitched non-stop, his originally blue-tinged skin turned crimson, and his exposed head showed large areas of burns.
With the Water Element Ogre's superior recovery ability, such injuries were not fatal, and could even be completely recovered after a period of time.
Whoosh! Tang Zheng stepped off the tree trunk, his figure floated down from the air, and landed accurately on the Water Element Ogre's head.
"Taki is willing to submit." The Water Element Ogre twitched in pain, and opened his mouth in fear.
"A wise choice."
Tang Zheng let out a hoarse laugh, squatted on the other's head, and casually grabbed a handful of sand that had turned crimson under the influence of the fire element: "Then what about you, 「Martial King」 Go Gin."
He spread his palm.
Scorching red sand fell from between Tang Zheng's fingers.
Go Gin gritted his teeth, his pupils contracted in painful resistance, even his strong physique was burned by the high temperature of the sand, yet the other party held it in his hand without any effect.
"Who... who exactly is this man!"
Go Gin's ferocious white eyes stared fixedly at the figure wrapped in the red Magic Robe: "You, what do you... want to do?"
The burning pain all over his body made Go Gin's speech intermittent. He relied on his strong willpower to avoid begging for mercy like the Water Element Ogre.
"Don't you think the Abelion Hills are too chaotic?" Tang Zheng's words were very calm.
Go Gin's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Tang Zheng in disbelief. For a moment, even the pain on his body seemed to weaken a lot. He felt the other party's undisguised ambition.
This was too crazy!
"You can't do it!" Go Gin said loudly.
Even though he had only been in the Abelion Hills for a few months.
He could already clearly feel the chaos and disorder of the entire Hills area. Hatred, blood, war, and strife were the main themes of this Abelion Hills area.
The hatred between the various races that had lasted for hundreds of years or even longer was like a vine on a cliff, inextricably intertwined! Even if a king really appeared in the future who could integrate all the Demi-human Races and Tribes, it would not be a human.
"No, no."
Tang Zheng shook his head: "It seems you have misunderstood. I don't want to rule here... Oh, I'm talking too much nonsense with you."
Whoosh!
The red Magic Robe fluttered.
Tang Zheng stood up, raised his arm from the wide robe, and held a strange black gem in his hand. Dark energy emanated from the gem.
It turned into a cloud of black mist-like negative energy, shrouding Tang Zheng in Darkness, showing an even more Terror and death-like aura.
"To live? Or to die?"
A cold voice sounded.
"This is negative energy..." Go Gin was not ignorant.
When he was in the Imperial Arena, he liked to challenge all kinds of opponents. Osk even found Undead for him as opponents.
Negative energy... Undead... the chaos in the Hills area...
"Why are you looking for me?"
While enduring the pain, Go Gin forced himself to calm down. He was not good at thinking, but he vaguely sensed a conspiracy against the Abelion Hills.
For some reason.
Go Gin's heart trembled.
He suddenly remembered the rumors about the creation of Undead. It was said that in some unclean places, those who died unexpectedly, especially those who died in war, had a high probability of giving birth to Undead.
Could it be that the other party's purpose was...
"'Martial King' Go Gin, appeared on the border of the Empire eight years ago, and joined the Arena for training at the invitation of Osk, the operator of the Imperial Capital Arena."
"With his powerful strength, he caused a sensation throughout the Empire and was known as the strongest of all the Martial Kings, the eighth generation Martial King."
Go Gin could hear the faint ridicule in the other party's voice when he said the words "Martial King". He wanted to clench his fists, but he could not move in any way under the restraint of the sand.
"Left the Empire last August and entered the Abelion Hills."
Tang Zheng paused at this point: "The only reason I came to you is because you have lived in human society for eight years, compared to these stupid guys."
"It's much simpler and more convenient to communicate, and that's your only value, 'Martial King' Go Gin."
As a martial artist with a noble warrior spirit.
Go Gin has always regarded the title of "Martial King" as an honor. If it were before, he would definitely fight to the death and never surrender, but now.
"I choose to live." Go Gin had a tangled look on his face, and finally lowered his high head, but there was a strange look in his eyes.
He needs to figure out what this human is trying to do.
If it is really what he thinks, with the powerful strength shown by the other party, I am afraid that he needs to unite with the strong in the Hills area to deal with this human.
"Very good."
Tang Zheng smiled inwardly when he saw Go Gin surrender so easily.
He understands Go Gin's character. Even when facing the Terror of the Undead King, he only surrendered after being killed and resurrected. Now he shows such a simple appearance of surrender.
Tang Zheng can naturally guess what the other party is thinking.
In Go Gin's eyes, he is probably an arrogant and ambitious guy now.
"The basic character of the script has finally appeared."
Tang Zheng jumped off the Water Element Ogre's head and waved his arm.
Whoosh——
The Magic Array on the ground dissipated, and the quicksand that enveloped the two also disappeared.
Go Gin and the Water Element Ogre fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
What he said before was partly true and partly false, but Go Gin is indeed an important character in this script.
And the only reason is because Go Gin knows him, or rather, knows the "Genius Alchemist" Tang.
"The righteous Genius Alchemist, with the assistance of 'Martial King' Go Gin, defeated the evil conspiracy of the Necromancer."
"Well, the script is a bit cliché." Tang Zheng nodded almost imperceptibly.
