Chapter 275 Arrival (4000)
Xingkong stood up and closed the book in his hand. A piece of armor on his upper arm popped open to reveal the storage room inside. He stuffed the book into the storage room, closed the armor, and then pulled out the two-handed sword from behind.
The silver skull turned towards the incoming player bandits, the green soul fire in its eye sockets beating slowly.
"The Rotten Royal Court is ahead. Thank you for your support. Let's separate here."
After saying that, several nozzles protruded from different positions of the starry sky armor, high-pressure The jet of air pushed the body of steel into the air. Then a stronger airflow erupted, and the stars soared into the sky and disappeared into the gray clouds in the sky in the blink of an eye.
"Human Torch 403" The four people looked up at the gray sky, but could not find the mysterious passenger.
Black and White Taozi: "Did he...run away?"
Misty Rain Chuhua: "It seems he ran away!"
"When he pulled out the sword, I I thought he would help us fight against the bandits."
"I thought so too."
Yu Yaowan and Shu Zhuzhu gathered together on skeleton horses: "Boss, what should we do?"
Mianyu Chuhua waved the magic wand in her hand: "Fight them!"
Ten Several skeletons were summoned by Yanyu Chuhua, and then he commanded the other three partners to form a fighting formation. There are four barrels of magic gems in the carriage. Even if he knows that there is a high probability that the group will be wiped out, he still has to recruit a few people to follow him and drop the level.
Ahead, the skeleton horse galloping brought up billowing smoke. You can see that there are fifteen player bandits. They all wore black linen smocks, black bandannas and cowboy hats to hide their identities, as if they were filming a Western movie.
In this open wilderness, it is impossible to escape by running.
Negotiation is also impossible. The purpose of the player's robber is very clear... he wants both money and life.
The robbers were getting closer and closer, and Yanyuchuhua and the others clenched their weapons, preparing for the first round of impact.
At this time, a whistling sound suddenly came from the sky, as sharp as the scream before an aerial bomb hits the ground in movies and TV shows.
Then a black shadow slammed into the ground, and the falling momentum broke through the hard ground, raising dirt and rocks more than ten meters high. Along with a shock wave, a huge sound spread outward.
The player robber who was at the front was just covered in it. You couldn't see what happened in the smoke, but you could see three white lights flying into the sky and disappearing in the sky in an instant.
That is the white light of the player's death. It seems that the path is across the plane, and he returns to the plane where he belongs and is resurrected.
The remaining player robbers faced the attack and immediately stopped the running skeleton horse. They held various weapons and reorganized into an encirclement, and the mages quickly blessed themselves and their companions with status magic.
The skillful response to emergencies shows that they are by no means ordinary player robbers, but trained professional players.
The mud and rocks fell, revealing a deep crater formed by the impact in the middle. Although there was smoke and dust, a black figure could still be seen floating from the pit. When the smoke and dust faded a little, the appearance of the black shadow appeared.
Yianyu Chuhua and the others immediately shouted excitedly...
Brother Broken Bones is reliable!
He kept the consigned alchemical creatures from running away!
The one who intercepted the bandits in a falling and bombarding posture was Xingkong. The steam engine installed inside the armor allowed him to maintain a stable floating posture. The heavy two-handed giant sword was easily held by him with one hand. The magic array built into the armor was activated layer by layer, and ribbon-like black fireworks surrounded him.
The engine's afterburner made a huge roar, and the strong airflow raised the dust that had just fallen.
There was an explosion and the stars burst out of the dust.
What is this!
The players and robbers who saw the starry sky for the first time could not help but show expressions of surprise.
Is this an alchemy puppet?
No...the alchemy puppet cannot perform such delicate movements.
Is it an alchemy creature that evolved from the alchemy puppet?
The player robbers didn't have much time to judge, because the attack had already arrived, and they swung their giant swords with both hands and slashed out an arc-shaped sword of more than ten meters.
As long as you have some actual combat experience, you can hear the power of this blow from the sharp sound of breaking through the air.
The player bandits use the collective defense they have long been proficient in, and activate their defense skills in a tacit understanding. Mage players use defensive skills in series to form a solid defensive wall.
The starry sky swept with all its strength and hit the defensive wall, making a loud noise.
The player robbers were unscathed.
One of the players took over the command and shouted: "The enemy is suspected to be an alchemy creature. Judging from the attack strength, the level is between 50 and 60. It is a mini-boss. We can deal with it. Use the E87 tactic to help pay attention to everyone's status and respond promptly. Pull the blood line.
Up! ”
The player bandits once again showed their excellent qualities and completed the change of the new formation with a simple command. Two players who were obviously close combat professions. Rushing straight into the middle, there are four other assistants taking detours from both sides, and everyone else is looking for a position, preparing for a boss battle.
Two skeletal hands were released by the mage and grabbed towards the starry sky, while a large cobweb was woven in the air.
Facing the siege, two larger nozzles protruded from behind Xingkong. With full thrust, he rushed upwards like an out-of-bore cannonball, and got through the gap that had not been sealed by the spider web. In the past, the two skeleton hands were even more empty-handed.
At this time, Xingkong also saw that this was definitely a professional player team that only large player guilds could afford, and it was most likely from a super player guild.
As the decay of the Sorrowful King approaches, players following the plot are becoming more and more crazy.
Faced with such a team, it is a good choice to avoid risks in a timely manner. But the starry sky did not leave. Instead, after accumulating a certain amount of energy, it swooped down again.
He accelerated headfirst, with the engine running at full speed to maximize acceleration. The black aura around him became more intense, and the soul fire in his eyes filled the entire eye socket. He raised the giant sword in both hands, and all the accumulated energy was transferred to the sword, making it look like a black dragon was wrapped around it.
There was an uninterrupted sound of thunder in the sky, and the sword was as powerful as a mountain falling down.
The player robbers looked up at the sky, realizing at this moment that they had underestimated the strength of their opponents.
Xingkong slashed the giant sword, leaving dozens of meters long sword marks in the air. All the energy attached to it exploded at this moment, and the open spider web was fiercely struck like a real spider web. The potential energy rushed to pieces. All the energy hit the ground with almost no damage, and the shields held up by the players collapsed.
With the huge earthquake on the ground, a small mushroom cloud rolled upwards...
Then more than ten white lights emerged from the top of the mushroom cloud and flew towards the sky. Yanyu Chuhua and the others were a little dumbfounded: "What on earth did Brother Broken Bones ask us to transport? It must be too powerful."
But when the dust settled, the silver metal skeleton in black armor disappeared, leaving only two pits on the ground, one large and one small.
The four of them, Yanyu Chuhua, did not dare to stay any longer and quickly drove the carriage away from here.
At this time, Xingkong has arrived at the Royal Court of Decay.
The Royal Court of Decay is one of the only seven super cities in the land of death. It has a continuous wall of bones. Countless skeleton hands stretch out from the walls of the city wall, catching every attempt. Something that climbed over the city wall and entered the royal court.
There is a bubbling moat outside the city wall. The green river water is highly corrosive. If bones fall into it, they will be dissolved within a few seconds.
A towering tower of the undead stands at regular intervals on the city wall, with corpse witches stationed inside. A circle of vampire bats hangs upside down on the edge of the tower.
What is even more eye-catching are the undead dragons flying high in the sky. Most of them are bone dragons, stretching out their ragged bone wings and spitting out white mist-like death dragon breath from time to time.
There are not only bone dragons in the sky, but also large groups of ghosts that seem to be wandering aimlessly.
Just from what you can see, you can deeply feel the gap between Scorched Earth City and the Rotten Royal Court. Seeing the starry sky of the Rotten Royal Court for the first time, Dorothea felt like she was overestimating her abilities.
Can such a magnificent city be conquered by your small scorched earth city?
But when the Rotten Wasteland becomes truly chaotic, anything is possible.
In order to avoid being chased by the bone dragon, Xingkong landed on the ground when he flew near the Royal Palace of Decay, and then walked into the city.
At the city gate, I encountered a group of terrifying knights running out.
They all wore oil-black full-body armor, and the armor was engraved with patterns representing the decaying royal court. The undead horses under the seat were also covered in armor, and some of the armor plates had bones stuck on them. It was unknown which unlucky skeletons had been hit by them.
Xingkong faced the approaching terrifying knight and immediately moved out of the way.
But when this group of terrifying knights was about to rush over, they stopped collectively in front of the starry sky. The leader, a terrifying knight with more gorgeous armor, asked Xingkong: "You look like an alchemical creature, but you are not! What are you?" Got into trouble.
He saluted the Terror Knight and replied: "My lord! Like you, I am an undead."
"Undead!" The Terror Knight observed the starry sky: "You are indeed Undead, this is the first time I have seen such a special undead. Your body is made of steel, but you ignite the soul fire that only the undead can have.
I can see that you are definitely a very powerful person. Types of undead...I want to recruit you now, kneel down to me!"
Xingkong maintained a neither humble nor arrogant attitude and replied: "I'm sorry, sir, I have to disappoint you. I am a free undead, and I don't want to be recruited as a servant yet."
All the terrifying knights pulled out their sabers together. , just waiting for the leader's order to chop this arrogant special undead into pieces.
The leader of the Terror Knights issued a warning: "Your freedom is not up to you. Loyalty to me is your right choice, otherwise I will extinguish your soul fire with my own hands."
That's true. It’s not going well!
Faced with the advance of the Terror Knight, Xingkong was planning to turn on the neat engine and fly away, waiting for another opportunity to enter the city.
At this time, the roar of a bone dragon came from above.
A bone dragon suddenly landed on the ground, shook its body and transformed into an undead horse covered in bone armor. Sitting on the horse was a knight wearing a human skin mask.
The leader of the terrifying knights immediately saluted when he saw the knight: "Lord Soul Eater!"
The undead dragon horse walked up to the leader of the terrifying knights. The soul eater glanced at the starry sky and said: "An undead with a metal body."
The leader of the Horrible Knights said: "I think he is an alchemical creature, and I am about to arrest him for interrogation."
The soul eater laughed contemptuously: "I can distinguish between alchemical creatures and undead. Just like I can still see you in the sky disobeying the orders of the Sorrowful King. Although there are many skeletons in the Royal Court of Decay, It’s not for you to practice collision and trampling.”
The soul eater’s words were extremely cold. He also knocked the vest of the leader of the terrifying knights with the staff in his hand, and the bones stuck on it fell to the ground. on the ground.
The leader of the Terror Knights said indifferently: "It's just a lowly skeleton."
Soul Eater: "The skeleton is lowly, but the command of the Consul King is extremely noble. You are loyal to Babbitt is still just a minister. He still has a long way to go before becoming a ruling king, and he also has many enemies.
Do you want me to tell Mr. Babbitt what happened just now?”
When the Soul Eaters carried out the Sorrowful King and Babbitt's ministers, the leader of the Terror Knight immediately gave up: "I'm sorry, Lord Soul Eater. I was eager to carry out Lord Babbitt's order, so I bumped into the skeleton blocking the way. Please eat." Lord Spirit Eater, please don’t hold me accountable.”
The Spirit Eater said, “Since you are eager to carry out Lord Babbitt’s order, why are you stopping here?”
“Let’s leave now. "Although the Terror Knight was a little reluctant, facing the Soul Eaters who had won the trust of the Sorrowful King, he had no choice but to leave quickly with his subordinates.
When the terrifying knights walked away, the soul eater said to himself: "The rotten royal court is very chaotic now, and the majesty of the Sorrowful King is increasingly unable to suppress the order of the royal court that is getting out of control. Here There are both opportunities and dangers. Be careful in the future, you may not be lucky every time."
After saying that, the soul eater pulled the reins.
The undead dragon and horse stood up and instantly turned into a bone dragon, flying into the air carrying the soul eaters.
Xingkong waited until he could no longer see the shadow of the soul eaters, then turned around and walked into the city gate.
The undead like towering buildings very much, and the undead in the Rotten Royal Court seem to have a more persistent preference for such buildings. Walking in the Royal Court of Decay feels like walking in a gloomy gray stone forest. Looking at the moon in the mist hanging on the top of the tower and listening to the ubiquitous moaning, you can't help but feel a lifeless and depressed feeling.
Fortunately, the plot of the Decay of the Sorrow King attracted a large number of players, which diluted this sense of depression.
These players shuttled around, seamlessly searching for tasks to take over in the royal court. Even if they were rejected and kicked out, their enthusiasm would not be affected at all.
Change to another NPC and continue the struggle.
Of course, the competition for resources between players is also the main content of the Royal Court every day. Xingkong just walked a block and saw five PKs between players. An undead tower was affected by the battle and collapsed.
The battle attracted the Bone Dragon Knights who were patrolling in the air, and the players who were afraid of being caught and put in prison fled in all directions.
Such farces were repeated everywhere in the royal court, making Xingkong afraid that he would be attacked, put in a sack, transported away and dismantled.
For safety, Xingkong attacked an undead, pulled off its blouse and put it on himself.
The soul eater is right, the Royal Court of Rot is really chaotic!
