Day 2
When Ann appeared in front of his skeleton companions, they had all completed their first career choices.
Of the two mutant skeletons that entered the novice village with Ann, Kento was the tallest and had chosen the thickest bones, so he was promoted to the warrior class, and his dream was to become a great black knight. And the black-edged blackblade who is a little thinner chooses a thief for promotion, and he will definitely be a sinister guy who plays with a dagger in the future.
Among the three, only An is special, with an innate elemental affinity, and of course, it is also the negative energy affinity of the bad street. However, it was enough for it to be promoted to the rank of Bone Mage and learn its first spell, Bone Fang.
So three like-minded skeleton companions team up to the undead commander Aaron and take on the first great task of his skeleton career, the brainless zombie.
Brainless Zombie, the Graveyard Newbie Village Initiation Quest requires you to go to the Undead Hunting Ground to kill 8 rotten zombies and remove their brains. After the quest items are delivered to your career mentor, you can continue to learn the relevant professional abilities in the future.
The three junior brothers were all confused about such a "brand-new" task requirement, so the two shameful skeletons who played with the blade automatically threw this brain-using work to Ann. After grinning and scratching her smooth skull for a long time, Ann finally decided to find this undead hunting ground first.
This is a large ghost tree jungle next to the east side of the novice village, with an area of about 1 mile, and a large number of zombies, skeletons, plague dogs and other terrifying and violent creatures roaming aimlessly in it. The undead creatures here are different from those partners in the novice village, they do not have a faint trace of soul identity in the depths of the soul fire, but the raging chaos does not have a complete and clear autonomous consciousness at all.
Many of the undead companions who inquired along the way called them "monsters". Maybe they're really savage monsters!
There are many dry bones of high-level undead buried in the land on the edge of the undead hunting ground, and with them as a deterrent, these quest "monsters" that Stratholme has carefully collected will not run out. However, these are not things that the three mutant little skeletons can figure out, and at the moment the three of them are hiding behind a crooked and withered ghost tree, secretly peeking at everything in the undead hunting grounds.
The scattered ghost tree jungle is full of slow-flowing eerie mist, which is quite restrictive for the undead who rely on their spiritual power to perceive the world. An made a preliminary estimate, and with its mental strength, it could barely "see" the scene within 15 steps, while the other two companions were about 10 steps.
This is undoubtedly mixed news.
This means that they can sneak into this weird place to find suitable prey, and it also means that if they wander around, they may "bump" into some "monsters" they don't want to encounter. You know, the undead wandering here are not their companions, they are all raging and chaotic, and once you encounter them, you can't get out without going through a fight. And when they came, a kind ghost sister told them that there had been a terrifying zombie boss as high as level 5 here.
Level 5!
At the thought of such a terrifying level, the three mutant skeleton newcomers couldn't help but have some teeth chattering. That's an invincible existence that is enough to completely crush them dozens of times!
So, the Three Skulls decided to go on their toes and complete this damn newbie mission by poaching.
The first to explore the way is, of course, the black blade who aspires to become a voyeur. As a rising star in the rogue profession, it was deservedly kicked in front by the obscene skeleton warrior Kento.
Ignoring the injustice of his companions, the black blade leaned down and grabbed a wet and heavy black mud from the ground and sprinkled it on his head, and said something in his mouth: "You can't see me...... You can't see me......"
Just as Kento was smiling secretly, a hazy mist wrapped around the thin body of the black blade, and the whole body suddenly became illusory and ethereal, and even the familiar soul fire fluctuations were dim and almost undetectable.
Belch...... What is this ability?
Maybe that's what Black Blade learned yesterday! Unexpectedly, it also has its own unique skills.
As soon as the Black Blade finished performing his newly learned "Concealment Technique", he felt that the surrounding environment suddenly turned gray, and almost all of the originally black and white world turned into a sea of "gray". The trees are gray, the earth is gray, the sky is gray, and even the mist that flows slowly beside you is gray......
In this gray world, the soul fire is simply a lighthouse that illuminates a territory, and it is clearly visible from afar.
Well? There is a door!
Blackblade glanced left and right, chose a direction, turned back to greet his companions, and crept over.
Inside a slightly denser ghost tree, Blackblade spotted a Level 2 rotten zombie wandering aimlessly. Blue-black tough skin, tattered clothes, crooked and twisted ankles, ugly faces, with hoho ho unconscious howls, staggered among the ghost trees.
That's it!
The three skeletons were a little unexpectedly excited when they saw the first task of the trip, "Strange". After a brief discussion, the three skeletons made a division of labor and began the first hunt of the skeleton career.
All three skeletons are new and have no armor or weapons to take advantage of. Kento and Blackblade were holding the most rudimentary white bone swords in their hands, only Ann was holding a half-meter-long bone staff in his hands, and he didn't know which skeleton he had removed from his thigh bone.
Therefore, Kento, who was the first to rush forward, was hit quite badly. Its bony sword left a curling wound in the zombie's tough muscles each time, and the rotting zombie snapped Kento's left arm bone with a single return blow. The rotting zombies that were cut down and skinless didn't care at all, and Kento, who had only been beaten for a while, had already become "crippled".
But fortunately, the zombie's attack speed is very slow, and the movement speed is also very slow, often Kento attacks three times, and the zombie has a chance to fight back once. So under Ann's loud reminder, Kento could only play the wandering tactic obscenely, turning left and right around the zombie, and trying to cut the carrion on its body.
While Kento and the zombies were in the middle of a fight, Blackblade also took the time to sneak up and stab him in the back. It's a pity that its strength is too small, and it can cut through the zombie's oily skin, and it can't even do some damage to the situation, but it was hit fiercely by the zombie's backhand, directly crushing half of its ribs.
After the black blade escaped from the zombies, Ann, who was hiding behind the ghost tree, finally completed the spell of the bone teeth.
With the front finger of the bone staff, a sharp bone tooth form formed by the miserable white death qi condensed by the void smashed into the face of the rotten zombie with a scream. When the death gas exploded, the bone fragments at the core burst out everywhere, directly blowing up the zombie's face into a noodle sauce shop, and the ugly face became more and more unable to look directly.
The sudden spell attack made the rotten zombie startle for a moment, and then it roared in anger and went berserk, ignoring the other two painless and nasty creatures, and staggered and pounced on the hateful skeleton a dozen paces away.
Just one blow can catch up with Kento's half-day effort, and when An, who is full of ambition, plans to make persistent efforts, he suddenly finds that the restless task "Strange" actually pounces on him.
Damn, it takes 7 seconds to chant a bone tooth spell, and it only takes 5 seconds for the opponent to pounce. With a simple estimate, the delicate and expensive An simply turned around and ran, and began to circle around the ghost tree frequently. But don't say it, this trick is really effective. The zombie is clumsy, especially when it turns its body, and it is even more slow and unbearable to look at, which gives the two obscene skeletons that follow it a good opportunity to attack.
In only half a day's work, almost all of the carrion behind the rotten zombies was cut clean by them, and they almost became a strange creature that was half zombie and half skeleton.
So half an hour later, the poor rotting zombie finally fell to the back of the black blade with a blow, and the huge head rolled to the ground, and the miserable body fell to the ground, stirring up dust half a meter high.
The three skeletons sat on the side of the zombie without half an image, and their bones were loose and almost tired.
An Geng's image as a lure plummeted, not only did the bone staff run away, but even his mouth was filled with dirt. It was gnawed after tripping over a scattered dry bone, and if it hadn't learned to roll on the spot temporarily, I'm afraid that it would have been enough to go back to the Bone Sea God.
The three skeletons grinned for a long time, and finally took this opportunity to take off the bones on their bodies one by one and repair them. Of course, this is also the instinct of skeleton creatures. After strenuous exercise, the bones and joints may have been severely worn, and if you don't maintain them at this time, I am afraid that there will be problems in the next battle.
The Black Blade is even more treacherous, tearing slender strips of cloth from the dead zombie's body and wrapping all its bones and joints so that it no longer creaks when it walks.
While Ann was busy removing his mandibles to clean the dirt inside, Kento had already touched all the bones of the zombies, and began to consider which of the other party's bones was better than his own, and tried to replace them.
So when the three skeletons stood up again a quarter of an hour later, their entire form was vastly different from before.
The black blade wrapped itself in a colorful color, and it looked more and more obscene. And it also polished the zombie's calf bone into a white bone dagger, which is much easier than the original white bone sword. Kento replaced his slender bones with the zombie's thick, tough, thick bones, making his body appear thicker, but slower.
Most of the parts on the zombie's body, Ann can't even look at it. However, after carefully removing the rotten zombie brain, the remaining zombie head is quite suitable for its attributes. The head of the zombie in his left hand and the bone staff in his right hand launched a spell much smoother than before, which undoubtedly made Ann also ecstatic.
With the first success, the subsequent poaching efforts became much smoother.
After a long illness, the three skeletons began to use their brains and figured out a lot of targeted strategies and tactics.
The black blade with great stealth ability has undoubtedly become the best candidate to attract monsters, and Kento, whose body is becoming more and more tenacious, has also become a strong meat shield that can be trusted.
So after the three skeletons chose the target to attack, the black blade came forward to lure the zombie into the ambush circle, and then the brave and mighty Kento fought hard to take it. When An Guya breaks his mouth and face, he can use the light body of the bone method to drag the train around the ghost tree. When the zombie "monster" is about to run out, it will be led to trip near the pit, and then it will be beaten up in a swren.
Using this tactic, the three skeletons unexpectedly and smoothly took down more than a dozen rotten zombies, including a level 3 elite zombie.
