Chapter 31 Skeleton Soldiers
The skeletons advancing step by step with will-o'-the-wisps dancing in their eye sockets made Zhou Xu's eyelids jump.
Although the 'Old God', 'Teleportation Array', 'Mantra', and 'Big Spider' are all telling him that this is not an ordinary world.
But no matter which one, the impact on him was as big as the dozen skeletons in front of him!
If we say that in a relatively normal primitive world, the most threats would come from natural and man-made disasters within the scope of common sense, or from some prehistoric beasts.
But once it becomes a magical world, the unpredictable factors suddenly become too many.
For example, these skeletons in front of you.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu subconsciously glanced at Dashan and the others beside him.
At this moment, Dashan and the others were looking at the dozens of skeletons in the distance with stiff expressions, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
“Dashan, is this also the power of mantra?”
Faced with the question, Dashan nodded vigorously.
"I'm afraid yes, I have heard from the old people in the tribe before that some mantras can control skeletons, but I have never seen it with my own eyes!"
Now it sounds like this The power of mantra seems to appear infrequently in Dashan's world.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu calmed down his emotions, threw away all useless thoughts, and focused all his energy on the battle in front of him.
[Regardless of whether the other side has discovered us or not, judging from the current situation, they should want to use these dozen skeletons to explore the road. 】
"Tsk!"
When he thought of this, Zhou Xu couldn't help but make an unhappy sound.
Needless to say, the other party's arrangement disrupted his original plan as soon as it came up.
Those skeletons were not advancing very fast. In the process, Feiqiao and the others, who carried stone bullets on their backs from the ground crack cave, arrived soon after, adding a lot of confidence to Zhou Xu.
[Anyway, let’s try these skeletons first and get some information! 】
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu issued the order in a deep voice.
"Dashan, you have five people on standby. Listen to my orders and be ready to rush forward at any time. Now, the slingers are ready!"
After receiving the order, the slingers loaded up the stone bombs. , the sling in his hand quickly turned, making a muffled sound of "whirring".
Just waiting for the moment when those skeleton soldiers step into their attack range...
"Target! Skeletons on the opposite side, release!!"
Following Zhou Xu's order, a round of stone bullets were thrown out, hitting the skeleton soldiers advancing towards them, shaking them to pieces.
The head of one of the skeletons was smashed out on the spot and fell to the ground, rolling like a ball. Its mouth was still there, opening and closing "click-click-click", like a twitch. Average.
But the headless main body did not stop moving because of this. The headless skeleton continued to advance unsteadily.
This strange scene was somewhat within Zhou Xu’s expectation.
After all, skeleton soldiers have appeared, so why is it so strange that a skeleton can still walk without its head?
During this process, Zhou Xuyou relied on the power of the 'Eye of Insight' to observe the movements on the other side.
When they take action here, it is equivalent to actively exposing their existence, but the guys on the opposite side are now all hiding behind the shield wall, making Zhou Xu basically unable to see them, and he does not know what the situation is. . At the same time, the skeleton soldiers move slowly, which greatly relieves the pressure on the slingers and gives them enough time to carry out output.
A few rounds of stone bullets were thrown at them, and the skeleton soldiers were beaten to pieces, which made them feel confident.
“This thing looks scary, but in fact it doesn’t take a beating very well!”
I don't know if it was because he was scared by these skeletons before. In order to relieve his emotions, one of the slingers took a long breath and then joked with a smile.
However, he did express what most of the tribe members felt at this moment.
However, as soon as these words were said, the bones scattered on the ground in the distance suddenly changed and protruded.
As if being pulled by some invisible force, the skeletons that were defeated by the slingers with stone bullets quickly reorganized themselves, and with the sound of 'click, click, click', they recovered again. As is.
This scene made the tribe member who couldn't help but laugh a moment ago freeze in place.
"How, how could this happen?!"
Faced with this situation, Zhou Xu secretly screamed 'Oops' in his heart, and hurriedly spoke out, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
"Why panic? They are just a pile of broken bones. Such fragile skeletons are simply vulnerable! No matter how many times we stand up, we can easily knock them down! Keep attacking!!"< br>
After experiencing the baptism of the big spider, Zhou Xu's presence is like a sea-fixing needle to the tribe members. Just standing there can make everyone feel at ease.
“The leader is right! With these broken bones, it’s useless no matter how many times you stand up! Beat them down!”
"Knock them down!!"
With a few words, the tribe members who had regained their morale changed from their previous nervousness and became obviously excited.
On the surface, Zhou Xu maintained the calmness he should have as a leader to prevent his tribe members from panicking, but he was not optimistic on the inside.
His timely interruption prevented the tribe members from realizing a problem.
That’s consumption!
If the scattered skeletons can regroup and continue the offensive, it means that the opponent can continue to consume them through this method.
Of course, Zhou Xu blindly guessed that if the opponent wants to keep pulling up the skeleton like this, he must also have a consumption problem, and it is impossible to pull it down without limit.
Now Zhou Xu was only glad that he had been cautious enough before and did not choose to save stone bullets, waiting for the opposite skeleton to walk into the dark forest, and then destroy it with a melee weapon.
Otherwise, the skeleton soldiers who stood up again would appear directly in the dark forest and disrupt their formation!
But the situation is still not optimistic, because through this incident, he has completely understood the opponent's tactics.
That is to lay down the shield array to defend themselves, and then use the skeleton soldiers that can be pulled up repeatedly to continuously consume them. It can be said to be a very typical consumption tactic.
This is undoubtedly an area where the opponent is good at. If they follow the opponent's rhythm and engage in a war of attrition, this is not a wise decision at all.
“Big Mountain!”
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu made a gesture directly towards the big mountain.
Da Shan immediately understood and rushed out with his five brothers, bypassing the frontal battlefield, and quickly approached the enemy formation from the flanks!
