Chapter 257: Underground Research Institute (Supplement 6/9+7/9)

Jericho, the leader of the Terror Knights, let out an angry roar. His sword-wielding right arm had been severed, and the threat of his fearsome two-handed heavy sword could no longer be used.

Lee stepped forward and dodged Jericho's left fist, flipping the hilt of her sword and smashing her elbow into Jericho's chest, causing him to lose her balance.

Just as Jericho was about to pounce forward, Li Shuyi made up for another sliding tackle, and at the same time, the sword delicately hooked his breastplate, and with a sharp upward blow, Jericho was once again sent into the air.

The sound of sneering sounded again, like a windmill spinning at high speed, a sword as fast as a sword!

This time, the combo climbed to 7 and the damage was 24, but because of the concentration of one, Jericho's other arm was still removed.

Not only were the robbers stunned, but even Bai Xiaowen, who saw this scene through the perspective of the angry claw, was shocked and inexplicable.

Zhao Yun is very powerful, Bai Xiaowen is clear about this, Li Shuyi will definitely be able to burst out with considerable strength after activating the "Zhao Yun's Mark", which Bai Xiaowen has also calculated. According to his expectations, after the outbreak, Li Shuyi should be able to cooperate with the robbers to clean up the Terror Knight Commander Jericho.

However, it seems that there is no need for the robbers to do it, and Li Shuyi alone is enough to kill Jericho - from this, you can get a glimpse of the strength of the lord-level fierce general Zhao Yun, which can only be described as terrifying.

Zhao Yun may not be as explosive as Guan Yu, but he is strong in protracted battles. With his exquisite combo skills, the longer Zhao Yun fights, the higher his chances of victory. From this point of view, Li Shuyi's "Wind and Thunder Combo", in which the word "wind" should be on Zhao Yun's body, the shot is like the wind, dense and pervasive.

At this time, there are still ten seconds before the "Mark of Zhao Yun" disappears!

Within ten seconds, Li Shuyi unleashed another combo that slashed one of Jericho's legs, the leader of the Terror Knights, and sent him tumbling to the ground.

Although the duration of "Zhao Yun's Mark" has ended, Jericho at this time has also become a toothless tiger and no longer has any ability to resist.

"Li Shuyi stay, kill Jericho! Everyone else pay attention, with the wolf king's angry claws as the vanguard, kill the western tower! After killing March, the undead legion has no commander, and we will win!" Bai Xiaowen's voice, transmitted through spiritual power, clearly sounded in the ears of Li Shuyi, Bernita, Kitts and others.

Kitts was stunned, and then secretly complained: Didn't the lord boss say that March was about to hang up? Now that the minute is almost up, how do you feel that the lord boss is about to be unable to hold on......

However, Kitts was a smart man, and after his initial stunnedness, he quickly raised the giant sword in his hand and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!"

More than a dozen elite bandits, led by Furious Claw, formed a sharp formation, followed by a group of ordinary bandits, servants and leading guards, killing through waves of undead guards and rushing in the direction of the western tower.

At this time, Bai Xiaowen had already fallen into the siege of the undead guards, and the lord Ma Qi finally distanced himself from him, panting and began to cast spells.

Deterrence!

Bai Xiaowen's deterrence skill, the cooldown time of 4 minutes and 30 seconds finally passed, and he urged it as soon as possible, not only interrupting Lord March's skill, but also causing the other undead guards to fall into a state of fear.

Seizing this opportunity, Bai Xiaowen rushed out of the encirclement of the undead guards. However, he didn't rush to join the bandit guards, but rushed directly in front of March, and raised his foot with the same kick (75 style change), kicking March in the direction of the angry claw!

Before March's figure hit the ground, the angry claws already roared and flew up!

Suppression Ultimate!

And then...... There is no then. In the 3-second suppression time, March has to constantly endure the ravages of a group of elite bandits, as well as Bai Xiaowen, who has turned on the burst shooting mode...... He himself is a crispy spellcaster, and most of his health has been consumed by Bai Xiaowen, where can he absorb so much damage?

"Damn...... I...... I was promised eternal life......"

March struggled to raise his hand, but it couldn't hang it down. The evil lord wizard who opened his realm to the plague spreaders and voluntarily became a lich has finally died.

After losing three leaders in succession, the undead legion of the Red Leaf Leader fought on their own like headless flies. The spirits of the undead on the outskirts of Momiji Castle even began to wander, and under the desire for life, they spread to the vast villages of Momiji Lord.

However, the undead on the periphery are all weak chickens at the servant level, which is just for the sturdy farmers and adventurers in the village to find something to do, and it is not a problem.

And the elite undead soldiers in the central square have become a plate of scattered sand. Under the unified command of Bai Xiaowen, it was easy to divide and surround them and annihilate them one by one.

After sweeping away the main force of the Undead Legion, Bai Xiaowen ordered the ten guards to disperse and sweep the entire city.

Soon, a prompt message sounded:

"You already control more than 75% of Red Leaf City. ”

"Choose: Occupy, abandon, or destroy Momiji City?"

"Special note: You will be questioned by the Empire for attacking Momiji City. ”

"Abandoning Red Leaf City will subject you to general questioning, and you will be protected from Imperial interference if you give a reasonable reason and get the approval of more than half of the lords in the northern frontier. ”

"The destruction of Momiji City will subject you to important questioning, and you will need to give the right reasons and get the understanding of the Imperial envoy to avoid Imperial interference. ”

"The capture of Red Leaf City will expose you to severe questioning, and even if you give the right reasons, the Empire may interfere and force you to leave the territory. ”

Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment.

"These three options are also exquisite. No matter how you attack Momiji City, you will be violating the laws of the Empire. And abandoning Red Leaf City can reduce the crime to a minimum, but there is no benefit. Destroying Red Leaf City can loot a batch of property, but the crime is more serious. The final occupation of Momiji Castle is tantamount to annexing another lord's territory by force, which will inevitably arouse the high vigilance of the empire......"

Bai Xiaowen didn't think about it for long, and chose the "occupy" option.

Imperial envoys?interfere?It's okay, there's someone up there!

As for who is above, it depends on the actual situation...... Who is more interested in the threat of the "Necromantic Plague"? Whether it is Archbishop Arlo or Prince Nicholas, I believe they are willing to pay a good price for this "heroic side quest".

However, what made Bai Xiaowen a little puzzled was that he had obviously killed No. 01 and uprooted the necromantic plague lair of the original Baishi Collar, but the hero-level side quest step 1 "The Truth of the Plague" had not been prompted to complete it for a long time.

Bai Xiaowen thought about it carefully, and immediately ordered his robbers to grab a few Red Leaf Collar undead slaves and cast a confusing spell.

"I see. After reading the memory fragments of an undead slave, Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes.

He took Li Shuyi and the others, turned around and walked towards the collapsed lord's mansion, bypassing the ruins of the front hall to the backyard.

In front of a manhole cover with a diameter of one meter, Bai Xiaowen squatted down and twisted the turntable on the manhole cover. With a soft boom, the manhole cover spun open, revealing a downward staircase passage.

Bai Xiaowen took Bernita and Li Shuyi and walked underground through the staircase passage.

"Wow, what a big dungeon!"

Bernita looked amazed.

Ahead is an underground hall with many cultivation vessels. When you look inside, you can see that the containers are filled with a pale green liquid, soaked in a humanoid test subject, all naked.

On the wide experimental table, there are many instruments and stacks of thick text materials...... These are all experimental logs. Judging by the date, it has been a research site for the Necromantic Plague for nearly a year.

The Spiritual Rule Prompt message came:

"You've discovered the Necromantic Plague Underground Research Institute in Red Leaf City. ”

"[Heroic Side Quest Step 1: The Truth About the Plague] completed. Completion Evaluation: A (Excellent). ”

"Go to the Black Rock Fortress and look for Archbishop Arlo or Prince Nicholas, get the quest reward and proceed to the next mission. ”

Bai Xiaowen's experience slot has increased significantly, quickly increasing to 94%! You must know that before he attacked Red Leaf City, the experience slot was only a little more than 60%, and this heroic side quest 1 step (B level) increased the experience by more than 30%.

Level 3 to level 4 is a threshold, and the required experience points are greatly increased, and many awakened people have to go through several spiritual explorations before they can complete the upgrade.

It can be seen that the rewards of heroic missions are really huge. This is only the reward in terms of combat experience, the treasure chests of the three boss-level bosses, the treasure chests of more than a dozen elites, and more than twenty ordinary treasure chests, are still waiting for Bai Xiaowen and the two to open them.

Although the treasure chest is inevitably a little watery because of the robbers' involvement in the attack, the amount is leveraged, and the psionic points alone can be issued.

Moreover, when you hand in the task, you will definitely get a lot of money, and I feel a little excited to think about it.

Li Shuyi's combat experience slot has also risen to 89%, and due to the difference in the combat experience required for upgrading, her upgrade speed will definitely gradually catch up with and surpass Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen suddenly thought of something, and he summoned Dr. Zombie again.

"I said, can you not recall me in the future? As a zombie with independent consciousness and independent personality, I am very repulsive to the kind of summoning space where I can't do anything, it's like confinement. "The first thing Dr. Zombie said was to complain.

"It's for your own good, you probably don't know how fierce the battle is today. The four skeleton sword and shield hands, the shadow assassins are all hung up, and the bandit army I recruited has also killed dozens of people, if I don't recall you, I'm afraid you will have to wait for 12 hours of resurrection time. Bai Xiaowen said.

However, after seeing the surrounding situation clearly, Dr. Zombie had already thrown Bai Xiaowen's words to his ears.

"Wow, what did I see, a well-established underground research institute! Although the equipment here is full of magic, the materials are relatively primitive, and there are no sophisticated instruments...... But that's enough! It's my institute!"

"To be exact, it's mine, at least in terms of property rights," Bai Xiaowen corrected, "However, I generously grant you the right to use it." ”

Dr. Zombie pouted.

"I think there should be some progress in the research of necromantic plague here, right?" Bai Xiaowen pointed to a stack of thick text materials on the experimental table, "I just took a look, and all the experimental records are available. ”

Dr. Zombie became excited again and began to look through the experimental materials.

"Well, it turns out that this research institute was set up to improve the Necromantic Plague virus and make it more contagious," Dr. Zombie muttered, "and further research on the undead race after being infected and mutated...... Good fellow, the previous owner of the institute actually wanted to create a gigantic infect, the scientific name is ...... What a genius idea for the abscessor giants......"

"This institute is a concentration camp for crime!" said Bernita, indignantly, rarely stammering, "I should report to the archbishop and purify this place with the Holy Fire!"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Stupid." The purpose of exploring the darkness is to defend the light. Every page here is valuable enemy intelligence, and only a fool would burn it. Only by understanding the secrets of the necromantic plague can an antidote be created to save those humans who have the plague virus lurking in their bodies, but have not yet broken out. ”

Bernita froze: "Well, then even if you're right." I'm not stupid. I...... I'm just angry. ”

Bai Xiaowen looked at Dr. Zombie: "How about it? How long will it take to make an antidote to the necromantic plague?"

Dr. Zombie thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's very difficult." Even if I'm a super-notch ...... Erudito, it will take at least three days to read these experimental reports and grasp their progress, and then we can start to make the antidote, which is even more uncertain, if it is a short week, if it is long, it may drag on for a month or two without results. ”

"It's too slow. You are now a zombie and don't need to rest. Making an antidote within five days is my second order of the month," Bai Xiaowen said, "If you can do it, then the third order of the month can be waived." ”

"Cut ......" Dr. Zombie pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, "So, I hate all laymen, layman bosses, layman bureaucrats, layman investors......"

"Hmm, what?" Bai Xiaowen looked up.

"Nothing, I...... Try to complete this task," Dr. Zombie said, and began to tease, "Any other instructions? If not, I'm going to get to work." By the way, remember to bring more experimental samples with you. ”

"Sample?" Bai Xiaowen was slightly stunned.

"It's human samples," Dr. Zombie said lightly, "from freshly infected human samples, to three-day, seven-day, and mutated samples...... Only with sufficient samples will I be able to grasp the properties of the necromantic plague as quickly as possible. ”

"How can I identify it?" Bai Xiaowen said.

"Isn't it okay to pass through that Holy Light Plague Probe?" said Dr. Zombie, "The virus has been incubating for different times, and the brightness of the green light seems to be different. If you find it troublesome, just grab a healthy sample for me, I will infect them temporarily, and increasing the dose can also have the effect of observing and contrasting......"

"Enough, I'll get enough samples for you. Without my orders, you are forbidden to experiment on healthy humans. Bai Xiaowen warned.

The way Bernita looked at Dr. Zombie, the way she looked at Dr. Zombie had changed from looking at one lump of soaring to seeing a lot of lumps of ......

She muttered, "I don't want to stay here." He hurriedly left the underground research institute.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi did not leave. After Dr. Zombie started to get busy, the two took out the treasure chest, intending to have a happy treasure chest and open a big prize event to relax their tired spirits.
