Chapter 27 The Huge Skeleton Family
With level 1 running, and agility up to 12 points with the blessing of the ring, her own general characteristic "Peasant Leader" can also play a role in herself.
The combination of these three advantages allowed Su Ya to run much faster than Xu Lai. During the test, the two ran a non-standard 100 meters. As a result, Su Ya was nearly 3 seconds faster than Xu Lai.
You know, when Xu Lai, who has 10 points of agility, runs at the extreme limit, not to mention comparing with a trapeze artist, he is still a little faster than a professional runner.
Su Ya did not worry Xu Lai and quickly rushed out of the woods without even drawing her sword.
And after Su Ya ran to Xu Lai, some creepy things slowly walked out of the shadow corners in the woods.
Su Ya could not bring Xu Lai any information. She strictly followed Xu Lai's orders and left without looking back after hearing the movement in the forest.
So, she didn’t know how many undead were following behind her.
Xu Lai roughly estimated that he might have hit the lair of the undead, and more than a dozen walking corpses came out one after another, as well as all kinds of bones and skeletons.
Most of the skeletons were similar to the ones that Xu Lai had trampled on that day. They were bare and had nothing on them. At most, a few of them were holding the thigh bones of someone they had picked up.
Others held magic weapons in their hands, swords of tetanus covered in rust.
What's more, not only is he holding a short sword in his hand, but he is also covered with a layer of iron. The metal helmet on his head is crooked on the smooth skull and refuses to fall off.
In addition, Xu Lai also noticed that there were three skeletons not only wearing iron armor, but even holding a round shield in their hands. Behind them were several archers holding bone bows.
Xu Lai, who had already formed a formation at the edge of the woods, did not care whether the group of undead were within the best attack range of the archer, and directly ordered shooting, targeting the skeletons carrying bows and arrows.
Su Ya knew more than Xu Lai. She glanced at it and reported to Xu Laihui:
"The master is a level 0 skeleton, a level 1 skeleton soldier, a level 2 skeleton warrior, and a level 3 skeleton warrior and skeleton shooter.
Master does not need to worry too much, skeletons are the most vulnerable units among the undead. , They are basically at the bottom among the same level. An angel can easily kill two or three bone dragons even without anyone commanding him."
Xu Lai wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but it was not enough. This group of people could not do it. The number of undead is too great. Even if the skeleton is at the bottom, 2 against 1 or even 3 against 1 is too much for Xu Lai.
The witch's slowness was not thrown to the group of skeletons, but to the slowest zombies, the walking zombies. These guys are rough-skinned and thick-bodied, so it's better to grind them down at the end.
Three of the 10 archers were level 3. Their arrows shot more accurately, and there were no obstructing trees to block them. Everyone shot a level 3 skeleton archer.
The other seven trainee archers were not so good. Only half of their arrows hit.
But you can’t blame them. Xu Lai saw it with his own eyes. At least 3 arrows should have hit. However, these skeleton archers had hollows all over their bodies and passed directly through the gaps in the chest. .
The number of skeletons is extremely large, and they are still pouring out in the woods. However, the tree stumps on the ground are really in the way. The skeletons in front of them are directly tripped by the tree stumps when they are squeezed by the skeletons behind them.
Low-level skeletons do not dare to squeeze against high-level skeletons. There are still gaps between the skeleton warriors and the skeleton shooters, which also gives the shooters better attack conditions.
After three rounds of arrow rain, only one level 3 skeleton archer was left, and a skeleton warrior who was covering the archer was also killed.
At this time, the skeleton shooter finally reached the attacking distance, opened his bone bow, and actually pulled out one of the bone spurs on his back.
Xu Lai quickly raised his shield. This time it was different. The farmers were all behind the fence. Xu Lai and the others could barely protect themselves. No one could protect the shooter. Xu Lai's shield was not big. In order to better protect himself, he even squatted down.
Unfortunately, this bone arrow was not shot at him, but hit the shoulder of a level 2 trainee archer.
The bone arrow penetrated three-thirds of the flesh. The power was not as strong as the level 3 archer's arrow, but the damage was not low. It directly cost the trainee archer nearly one-fifth of his life.
Subsequently, the skeleton shooter and another skeleton warrior died directly in the shooters' counterattack.
Xu Lai roughly estimated the distance. The fastest runner was the charging skeleton warrior, who was already less than 50 meters away from them.
The witch's second delay still fell on the group of walkers, finally covering the dozen walkers and zombies.
These guys walk extremely slowly to begin with, but after being slowed down, they can only crawl a little faster than a turtle.
Without the skeleton shooters who could attack from a distance, Xu Lai felt reassured and quickly directed the shooters to shoot at the nearest target.
These close-range targets happen to be within the optimal shooting range. With Xu Lai's 10% bonus in archery, a level 3 archer can basically kill a level 1 skeleton soldier with one arrow, and a trainee archer can also kill skeletons instantly.
Because the skeleton warrior is wearing armor, he needs two arrows from the archer to kill him. The stronger skeleton warrior behind with a shield has been ignored.
After another two rounds of arrow rain, the group of skeletons slowly approached to a distance of more than 30 meters. Counting the skeleton archers and skeleton warriors, only a few dozen skeletons had fallen in total at this time.
If we continue to get closer, the shooters may not have time to retreat to a safe distance.
Xu Lai was not greedy and decisively ordered all the shooters to retreat while continuing to attack.
With the tree stump behind them, the shooters could not retreat without scruples, and the shooting speed suddenly slowed down.
Just walking and shooting, only three rounds of arrows were released from a distance of more than ten meters, killing and wounding about 20 skeletons of various levels.
After hiding behind the fence, the shooters no longer need to retreat and can output with all their strength without any scruples.
After releasing the third slow spell, the witch was ordered by Xu Lai to rest. Her magic power had more uses, and there was no need to release it on this group of skeletons that could almost kill them instantly.
The skeletons kept falling, but the huge number finally brought them closer.
When the fence was only about one meter away, under the leadership of Xu Lai, three militiamen plus six farmers and Su Ya, who only took a sharpened piece of wood, collectively thrust out along the gap in the fence.
The length of Xu Lai's simple spear is about 1.7 or 8 meters, not too long, not too short.
Anyway, after stabbing him out, neither the skeleton soldiers nor the skeleton warriors could cut him with the tetanus blades in their hands.
Across the fence, Xu Lai was not too worried about being attacked. He just kept repeating the process of stabbing, withdrawing, and stabbing again.
They stand relatively densely, while the shooters behind them are spread out, so there is no need to worry too much about affecting the attacks of the shooters.
