Chapter 203: Tomb of the Corpse King
The team set out again, this time the number of people was reduced again, there were only twenty-two people, leaving fifteen people to dig and clear monsters in the mining area.
Xiao Jie suddenly realized a problem. If he wanted to ensure that the return journey was not blocked by monsters and remained open at all times, it meant that a team of people had to be left behind to clear the monsters every step of the way. If he wanted to clear the mine, How many people are needed to explore the cave to the end?
It would be better if the mine was shallower, but if it is too deep...
Unless you push it all the way across, then push it all the way back on the way back.
But in this case, the requirements for the player's team strength are very high. If you encounter a strong enemy on the way forward and the way back is blocked, you will easily fall into a dead end.
Of course, there is a more adventurous way, which is to jump monsters. Anyway, zombies move slowly, and it is impossible to really block all the caves. As long as you move fast enough, you can parkour all the way to the bottom, and then go all the way back. Run back, and as long as you dodge well enough, you can pass without injury. Of course, this method is only suitable when there are few people.
However, doing this must be very risky. You can do this in a normal game, but in a death game like this, it is too reckless.
If you run out of energy halfway or are caught by a monster, it's a death sentence.
Xiao Jie thought in his mind that the team had already chosen a passage and started to move inside.
Qianlong Wuyong chose the widest channel.
The five in front each have a torch, illuminating the mine.
Of the twenty-two people, ten lit torches, and Deidara directly summoned floating fireballs for lighting.
Because the monster's spawn time has been accurately calculated, there is no need to stay in the rear group, and it is directly divided into two teams.
Qianlong Wuyong led the main force to open the way in front, while Xiao Jie followed behind with the support personnel.
For safety reasons, Xiao Jie summoned Xiong Da.
With such a large human shield nearby, it is much safer. The cave is narrow, and you can hide behind Xiong Da if you can't defeat him.
Seeing Xiao Jie summoning the baby, Dongfang Sheng also waved his iron halberd - "Listen to my order and come out - spear militia!" Following the order, a militiaman holding a spear and wearing leather armor was summoned by Dongfang Sheng. .
He has successfully obtained the military officer profession and thus gained the ability to recruit soldiers. Unfortunately, his merit is too low and he can only recruit the weakest militiamen.
Ye Luo also summoned the zombies. Xiao Jie took a look at the obviously expanded team and thought that it would be a good idea to let these summoned creatures stand up if they couldn't defeat them.
The team slowly searched and advanced in the mine, Xiao Jie counting the time as they walked.
Not far away, a warning sound came from the front.
"Stop, stop, stop, there seems to be a monster ahead."
Xiao Jie told everyone to be on guard, but he got closer.
Just looking at the darkness in front, a pair of red eyes appeared, and something was faintly moving.
"Little white dragon, shoot an arrow."
Xiao Bailong shot an arrow without saying a word. Although this guy was a military general, he was a bow and arrow general with accurate shooting skills. Even if he lacked vision, he still hit the target with an arrow. There was a strange cry in the darkness, and he saw a wild boar. A giant rat of average size burst out of the darkness.
This mouse looked obviously abnormal, with obvious body spots on its fur and even festering wounds.
This thing was very familiar to Xiao Jie. He had seen something similar in the sick village below Bixia Mountain.
Corpse Giant Rat: Level 12, HP 360.
Seeing such a large group of people, the corpse-turned-giant rat showed no signs of cowardice and just rushed forward.
A general was about to go up and try his best. Just as he was about to stab him with a spear, the giant rat suddenly jumped up and pounced on the general as if it was pressed on a spring.
After one mouthful, the general retreated hurriedly. "Jay, I've been poisoned by corpse poison."
Several people on both sides hurriedly thrust out their spears, stabbing the corpse-turned-giant rat to death with several rounds of thrusts. Looking at the bitten general, his whole body turned gray-green, and his health bars dropped.
"Eat the glutinous rice cake quickly."
Fortunately, we were well prepared for this operation and had all kinds of supplies.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that the corpse poison on the general was removed and his health returned to full after taking the golden sore medicine.
"Don't be too happy, look ahead!" Ye Luo's voice came.
Xiao Jie immediately looked carefully into the darkness, and could vaguely see a large red light spot emerging from the darkness in front of him.
"Deidara, throw a fireball."
"Okay."
Deidara fired a fireball, and as the fireball flew, it illuminated a large group of corpse-turned giant rats, which seemed to be eating something, and the whole area was dark.
Stimulated by the fire, these giant rats exploded into a swarm.
Chichi chichi! Giant rat monsters swarmed in with a roar.
This scene is really scary.
Don't use Qianlong but you are still decisive. "Back off—shoot the arrow!"
With so many monsters carrying corpse poison, it would be easy to kill someone in a melee, and even if they don't die, they will lose a lot of supplies. This thing is not a mining zombie with a shield.
It's better to solve it remotely.
In an instant, the people in the front row all switched to bows and arrows, retreating and fighting for their lives in the room. Previously, long-range weapons were ineffective against mining zombies, but it was different when dealing with such giant rats.
Combat skill - volley of arrows!
Swish, swish, swish, causing more than 70 damage in an instant.
Haha, this beast is still easy to bully.
However, despite the rain of arrows and the rats being shot to pieces, they still approached quickly.
"I'll do it!" Deidara waved his staff.
The Five Elements Magic - Fire Wall Technique!
boom! The flames soared into the sky, instantly forming a wall of flames five meters long and one meter wide, blocking the entire passage.
However, those giant rats had no fear and actually rushed towards the wall of fire. The moment they rushed through the wall of fire, the fur of the zombie giant rats were also ignited one after another, and the darkness was instantly illuminated by the fire. I have to say that this game is amazing. The light and shadow effects are really lifelike, with groups of ignited rats running around in the dark, the scene is spectacular.
"Fire with all your strength!" Qianlong Wuyong shouted, but he stood in front of the formation with a gun. A flaming rat with residual health rushed over, stabbed out with a single shot, and accurately harvested.
Another big rat—whoosh! An arrow flew from behind and pinned him to the ground. But it is Xiao Bailong's bow and arrow combat skills.
Xiao Jie also kept firing arrows. These big rats, all on fire, became the most eye-catching targets in the dark, and they were shot to death in pieces on the ground.
[System prompt: Your bow weapon specialization level has been improved and is now master level...]
Xiao Jie was a little surprised, but now he doesn't care much. Finally, all the big rats were killed.
It's a pity that the beast monsters don't drop much. They are all rubbish such as tattered rat skin and stinky rat meat.
Hey, the mysterious piece of meat? What's this.
[Mysterious piece of meat (garbage)
Item introduction: The strange piece of meat found in the corpse of the giant rat seems to have condensed into a ball. The corpse exorcism warlocks of the Taiyin Dharma Assembly may be interested. 】
Okay, keep it for now.
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up. Fortunately, due to proper cooperation, there were no casualties.
It's quite scary.
"I seemed to see them chewing something just now..." a core member said, taking a few steps into the darkness and suddenly stopped.
"vomit……"
Xiao Jie also moved forward, and it turned out to be a burrowing zombie that had been chewed up with only bones left. Looking around again, there are quite a few.
"Everyone, be careful, there seems to be something strange."
Sure enough, several burrowing zombies climbed up from the ground unsteadily. Some of them still had traces of being chewed on their bodies, and their blood volume was not full.
Hey, these monsters actually fight among themselves?
Xiao Jie didn't think too much. These burrowing zombies might also trigger corpse poison, so they should be served with bows and arrows.
A hail of arrows knocked them all over, and everyone continued to move forward.
After passing through this winding and dark slope, the ground suddenly became flat, and a huge cave appeared in front of us, the area of which was not much different from the previous mining area.
"Everyone, be careful. There are usually a lot of monsters in such large caves." Qianlong Wuyong was still walking at the front, looking at the darkness in front of him with a solemn tone. "Deidara, look for the way."
"receive."
As a five-element warlock, he is not only powerful at fighting monsters, he is also particularly useful as a human-shaped searchlight. He shoots fireballs into the darkness with one shot.
The fireball flew all the way, reflecting several human figures in the darkness. They were zombies!
Boom, when the fireball finally exploded in the air, the last trace of firelight reflected a huge human-shaped silhouette in the darkness.
"Oh my God - there seems to be a Corpse King!" Deidara exclaimed, unable to tell whether it was surprise or fright.
Xiao Jie also noticed that the information provided by the guild to introduce the Corpse King was extremely detailed.
This kind of BOSS can be found in many maps. It will appear wherever a large number of zombies gather, especially in underground tomb caves.
Usually the names vary slightly, with different prefixes depending on the type and map.
According to the background provided by some books and documents in the game, every corpse king was a powerful warrior, warrior, and even a spell caster during his lifetime. Therefore, after death, he was transformed into a corpse and gradually grew into a powerful corpse king, so he can drop it after killing him. Advanced skill books for various professions.
It is said that it is even possible to drop the secret book of peerless martial arts - of course the drop rate is a little bit small.
The most common ones are various high-level martial arts cheats, and occasionally some high-level spell cheats will be dropped, so generally if you can kill one, the benefits will be huge.
Moreover, the Corpse King's strength is generally not 'too strong'. For major guilds, it is one of the best targets for brushing up skill books.
However, this is not very strong compared to the main groups of major guilds. For their current branch group, it is difficult to say.
"Captain, do you want to fight or not?" Xiao Bailong asked.
"Fight!" Qianlong Wuyong gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, form a defensive formation and clear out the mobs first."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a penetrating roar came from the darkness.
Obviously, the Corpse King also discovered them.
Just looking at the darkness, a huge human figure slowly approached, and its name gradually appeared.
Tomb Corpse King: Level 20 BOSS. HP: 2400.
The corpse king was more than three meters tall, and his clothes were already in tatters, revealing blue-black skin that was the color of mud. Although he was dead, his muscles were unusually strong. He had round red eyes, a mouth full of fangs, and was tied with A thick iron chain seemed to have been chained by someone before, but now it was freed.
Not only was the Corpse King approaching, but with the Corpse King's roar, the surrounding mobs also started to commotion, with figures constantly moving in the darkness.
Xiao Jie's heart suddenly rose. Logically speaking, a level 20 BOSS wasn't that strong. The bandit leaders he fought before were all level 19.
But now and then, it was outside in the open space, with a good view, a wide formation, and a large number of people. It was really a casual fight for more than fifty people to deal with a level 19 BOSS.
Now there are only twenty-two people, and their vision is dark. They have no idea how many monsters are around. The terrain is narrow, and there is not much room to maneuver.
This is a big problem that must be faced when going down the cave. If you are outside and have a good view, players can often see the BOSS in advance. However, in this dark cave, monsters often find the player first, which is really terrible. .
"Holy shit, shit, that thing is coming!"
"So many zombies!"
"What should I do, captain?"
Everyone exclaimed, obviously a little nervous, this requires a lot of effort.
Qianlong didn't use it but said calmly: "Don't panic, what we are here is to defeat the corpse king, fight it well, and blast it with some top quality items - follow my orders and form a formation! One group will fight the BOSS head-on, and the second group and the third group will defend. Monsters on the left and right sides.”
Seven groups and eight groups of back row output - two guest guests, this time I can rely on them! "
To deal with this kind of BOSS, ordinary players can only have the effect of grinding blood. To really make the final decision or control the situation in the battle, you must be a powerful player.
Among the people present, the only ones who could be called powerful were the four senior officials.
Condensing Talisman! Xiao Jie suddenly played a spell, and a warm white light suddenly illuminated the surroundings. There was no need to save at this time, and the surroundings had to be illuminated as soon as possible.
Condensing Talisman! Hidden Dragon, Don't Use It, unexpectedly used the same props. The two chapters of the Condensing Talisman directly illuminated the surroundings, making up for the shortcomings in the field of vision.
When fighting in this darkness, vision is undoubtedly very important.
The two looked at each other, feeling quite pleased with each other's tacit understanding.
"First group - follow me!" Qianlong Wuyong waved his spear and rushed towards the Corpse King, and the other four also took action.
The five players in the first group are all generals, with the lowest level being 18 and the highest level being 26.
The elder brothers wore helmets and armor, each holding a spear and a halberd, and attacked together.
Combat skills! Spear thrust!
Combat skills! Spear thrust!
Combat skills! Spear thrust...
The five of them had no second move at all. They all thrust their spears into the corpse king without thinking. Not to mention, this move was really effective because it could maximize the attack distance of the long weapon.
Due to the continuous stabbing by the five people, the Corpse King was unable to break through the spear formation of the five people.
The two groups of people on both sides also started fighting with the surrounding mobs.
"Fire arrows! Focus on the BOSS with all your strength!" Xiao Jie shouted from behind. Those mining zombies are too hard and won't be killed for a while. It's better to focus on the BOSS. As long as the BOSS is killed, the remaining mobs will naturally be insufficient. .
At this time, the two groups behind them all switched to long-range weapons and fired arrows wildly at the Corpse King.
Although the front was blocked by the five people in the first group, the Corpse King was tall enough to shoot the upper body.
The corpse king was stabbed randomly with spears and fired by arrows, and his blood volume continued to drop.
However, Deidara's real main output was Deidara. One shot of three-stage charged fireballs could deal over a hundred damage, and two or three shots reduced the corpse king's health to a continuous drop, and his whole body was ignited with flames.
The corpse king's blood volume continued to decrease, losing one-third in the blink of an eye.
The Corpse King suddenly roared.
The power of the Corpse King - Zombie Body Refining!
Thick black hair instantly grew on the surface of the body, and the blue-black muscles swelled up.
-
1-2-3-2!
Originally, the bow and arrow could inflict more than a dozen points of damage, but now it directly reduced to single digits.
Accumulating corpse energy!
The Corpse King opened his mouth, and a burst of dark green corpse energy suddenly spurted out.
All five people in the front row were hit instantly.
"No, I'm poisoned."
"Quickly retreat!"
Four of the five people in the first group were retreating and preparing to eat glutinous rice cakes. Only Qianlong Wuyong did not retreat. If he retreated, the front would be breached.
