Chapter 967: The Mirror Puzzle
Bai Xiaowen had seen this kind of drowning zombie as early as when he was in the Necronomicon Lake, but now in order to be safe, he still threw out his insight skills.
Drowned Zombie (Level 10)
Race: Undead/Necro
Attributes: Strength 40, Agility 25, Constitution 36, Spirit 10
Skill 1: Ominous Breath: Passive, the breath of a drowned zombie brings bad luck, and the enemies in the melee range will be stacked with the length of the battle, and each layer of Ominous Breath will temporarily drop all attributes by 1 point, and the maximum number of stacks will be 10 layers.
Skill 2: Sluggish: Passive, reduces all damage taken by drowning zombies by 25%. Drowning Zombies' base attack speed is reduced by 25%.
Sure enough, these new instances are also called drowned zombies, and they are exactly the same as the zombies in the Necronomical Lake.
The sluggish skill makes the drowned zombie more rough and thick, and the "Ominous Aura" skill is more powerful and powerful over time. After 10 layers, the enemy's full attribute drops by 10 points, which means that the total attribute value is reduced by 40 points, which is still terrifying.
Moreover, the drowned zombies here are already level 10 standard template creatures, and compared to the zombies in the Necronomicon Lake, their attributes have almost doubled, and their strength has skyrocketed.
It's just that Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi have improved their strength more than when they faced drowned zombies!
Li Shuyi rushed out directly, and she was an invincible slash in front of her, slashing seven swords in a row, stacking her own passive first.
Three of the drowned zombies died as soon as they saw them, and the sapient creatures had already scattered and fled. But these zombies didn't know fear, and were still driven by instinct, stretching out their arms and pounced on Li Shuyi.
In the surrounding fog, there are constantly staggering black shadows, which are drowned zombies that have been attracted to it. In the blink of an eye, dozens of zombies have gathered here, forming a small group of monsters.
The ominous aura is superimposed on Li Shuyi's body, but so what? Even if all attributes drop by 10 points, Li Shuyi still has an overwhelming attribute advantage when the two major passive ones are fully loaded!
What's more, Li Shuyi will not give the zombies time to superimpose an ominous aura at all. Her body shuttles through the zombie horde like a butterfly, and each sword piercing must pierce the throat or head of a zombie.
Bai Xiaowen is long-range, so he will not be affected by the ominous aura, he took out the Desert Eagle and kept naming him, and the first drop of blood of the blood essence stone was passively triggered, basically two shots and one.
The lobster-man warrior Yarpet was dumbfounded, and it wasn't until the two of them killed the group of zombies that they came to their senses.
"Distinguished guests, you and your entourage are so powerful!"
Li Shuyi smiled and lifted the necromantic disguise on her body: "With this thing here, you can finally let go of your hands and feet." ”
"Well, Alpet, how far are the ruins?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"It's almost there...... Look ahead!" Yarpet said in a loud voice, waving the eagle excitedly.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi raised their heads when they heard the voice.
After a group of drowning zombies, in the fog in the distance, a magnificent relic appeared in front of the three of them. The ruins were so tall that they looked like temples towering above the clouds.
"When did it appear...... Why don't I feel it at all?" Bai Xiaowen was a little strange, with his mental scanning range at this time, if such a large palace appeared in his field of vision, it should have been perceived by the spirit a long time ago.
However, Bai Xiaowen tried to extend the spiritual induction, but the location of the temple as far as his eye could see, it was empty, as if the temple was in another dimension.
"Go ahead. Bai Xiaowen said. When it comes to the dusty temple, there may be some hidden means of concealment.
The three of them continued to move forward, and the monsters they encountered along the way were basically dead giant crocodiles, drowned zombies, and occasionally encountered a few ghosts, but there had never been a leader-level monster, and they were not the enemies of Bai Xiaowen and the two at all.
"How far do you have to go?"
Bai Xiaowen frowned, the three of them had already walked a long way, but looking at the distance of the temple again, there was still no shortening, as if the temple was also reversing when the three of them were advancing.
Yarpet showed a hint of fear: "My lord, I'm afraid the ruins think that we are not qualified to enter, it has rejected us!
"Yarpet, which god do you believe in?" Bai Xiaowen suddenly turned his head sideways, squinted and smiled.
“...... Well, no matter which god you believe in, you should be respectful to all gods. ”
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "You're right about Alpet, since this thistle welcomes us, then let's go back the same way." ”
Yarpet was slightly stunned, and then said happily, "Yes, my lord." ”
Li Shuyi followed behind suspiciously, but she did not say anything.
The three of them made their way back, and after walking for a long time, Yarpet spoke:
"My lord, we are almost to our village, and if we go south, we will be able to leave the swamp. ”
"No, keep going east. Bai Xiaowen said.
"Huh?" said Yarpet, stunned, "but if you go east, you will go deep into the swamp." ”
"Don't wonder, just move on. Bai Xiaowen took the lead.
Yarpet hastened to follow.
As she walked, Li Shuyi suddenly sighed softly.
"See what?" Bai Xiaowen asked with a smile.
"Well, this puddle has waist-deep artemisia grass next to it...... Whether it is the large shape of the puddle or the location of the artemisia grass, it seems to have been seen. Li Shuyi said.
"Keep going. ”
"Hey, a mound of high ground has also appeared here!" exclaimed Li Shuyi, "It seems that it was when we were heading west...... The same terrain has appeared, but in reverse order. ”
"Well, it looks like you've figured out what's wrong. ”
Facing the eyes of Li Shuyi and Yarpet, Bai Xiaowen said: "In fact, the actual size of this swamp is much smaller than it seems. There's a 'mirror puzzle' here...... With the lobster man village as the central axis, the west and east sides of the swamp are the inner and outer sides of the mirror! Just now, we have been walking westward, but we are actually moving towards the mirror image of the ruins, which is naturally the opposite direction. ”
"So...... The real ruins, in this direction?" asked the Lobster-Man Warrior Yarpet, confused.
"See for yourself...... We're almost there. Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.
Yarpet looked ahead, looking into the distance.
Poof, he knelt down.
Ahead, in the mist, the ruins of a magnificent temple loomed as before, and the temple seemed more "real", and the abnormal feeling of alienation from another dimension finally disappeared.
