Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 87 The quest has begun
"We're already ...... now Here it is. Fang Qiuling looked around, then pointed to a large area on the map and said, "Fourth layer." This dark passage goes directly from the second to the fourth floor. Don't take it! I haven't finished reading it yet! ”
The map was pulled out of Pastor Eddard's arms. When Pastor Ed took out the map to look at it, he was reluctant. Fang Qiuling glared at her several times before reluctantly taking it out of her arms.
- Old Ed, you guy looks like you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, I didn't expect to start so quickly! In the blink of an eye, the map was actually taken away by you!
- Dead nobles! This is a map of the underpass in Lakesprings, an absolutely important document that must be controlled! Don't even think about taking it!
- Who wants this? The paintings are colorful and ugly!
- Then don't look at it.
- Okay, I won't look at it, you lead the way!
Fang Qiuling and Pastor Ed didn't say a few words.
"You don't see much. I'm afraid you'll see too much, and you'll memorize this map! In the future, you will use this as a 'nest' as well! ”
"'Lair'? Old Ed, you're underestimating me too much. I need to sneak around in the 'lair' to do bad things? I'm definitely doing it in the square! Fang Qiuling shook his cloak casually, "I'm a bard, the performance must be in the square, and the bigger the square, the better!" ”
"Humph!"
"Also, I've memorized the map."
With that, Pastor Ed hid his face and retreated......
In fact, Fang Qiuling didn't need to look at the map to determine his current location, because the underground square he was in was the entrance to the tribute of the dungeon immortals. As soon as the player steps here and opens the trap of the tunnel, the quest is considered to have started. A thirty-minute timer will be activated.
Less Pukelt, the Corpse Graber, is busy with his lich transformation ritual in the undead laboratory on the fifth level. If the player hits him within thirty minutes, then this guy will first face him in human form, and at about half of the health bar, he will use the boss's usual skill - transformation. He will transform into a lich and continue the fight. If it takes more than thirty minutes, the player will be confronted directly with the fully lichified corpse collector Les Pukelt. In this case, his spells are more powerful, his blood is thicker, and he has more spell combinations he can use.
To get more rewards, quick kills are the only and necessary option.
Lily held the hilt of her sword in one hand and carefully poked the Rolling Stone with her hand. The huge rolling stone is not moving, and the weight is absolutely amazing. She replied:
"What's next?"
"Of course, I was looking for a mechanism, and I opened a secret passage and continued to go down." Fang Qiuling put away the map and casually threw it back to Pastor Ed, "On the fifth floor, the location marked by the sacrificial ceremony is on the fifth floor. We're going to find the way to the fifth layer. The map is only five layers, and there is no deeper map. There are probably only five floors in this place......"
With a slight movement in his heart, Fang Qiuling immediately reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword on his waist, and then pulled out the Strike of Zhan Guang.
A layer of bright light enveloped the blade, shining even in dark vision, and it looked very beautiful. However, this kind of beauty is not liked by anyone, because this brilliance represents the natural enemy of the Strike of Light in the surrounding area - the undead.
"Looks like we're in company. The host here is really welcoming, for fear that we will be bored here. ”
"Hehe, that's right!"
"I like his enthusiasm too, but I prefer to hang him at the stake!"
Paladins, you say a word to me. As we talked, the sound of unsheathed weapons rang out.
A group of tatteredly clad and slow-moving figures soon came into view. A sound of thirst and hunger that seemed to be squeezed out of the depths of the throat followed. They poured out of the dark passages, and there was no end in sight.
"Zombies?"
The figure that appeared in front of him had a gray color all over his body, and his skin seemed to be as tough as leather. Their deep-set eye sockets burned with bright red soul fires, flames that hated the living. Rotting mouths reveal miserable green teeth, and their grips are just as greenish. As they got closer, the dreary air smelled a little more fishy.
"It's zombies, there are quite a few of them...... Fang Qiuling immediately switched arcane vision and glanced at it, "Be careful of their minions, they are poisonous, and this poison should be very fierce." ”
Zombies are recognized as one of the three major cannon fodder for the undead. Some of the "scholars" who have studied this way have said that in fact, after the research of the necromancers, this kind of thing that smells of corpses is quite slow, and it is not very suitable for attacking, because it is too slow to walk, resulting in extremely low efficiency. However, their skin is very thick, and even some mutated zombies are not inferior to metal in terms of hardness, which is very good for defense.
Cast a wall of zombies in a narrow space...... Hey! I don't want zombies to kill enemies or anything, I just need to stop there and cut them casually. Cut down one and then top one, cut down and top again. The skin of zombies is thick and tough, and every swing and slash requires a lot of force, and even small weapons will bounce back. If you slash with all your strength for a long time, the consumption of physical strength will increase unconsciously. When the consumption increases, the weapon in the hand will feel heavy, and the attack will no longer be sharp, and it will fall into a vicious circle.
There can be many zombies that can be knocked down, but as long as one of them is not cut down, then the zombies will give the living a sense of what it means to be crushed by power!
When encountering ghouls, most adventurers feel that this thing is too cunning! When encountering skeletons, adventurers will panic, after all, one by one bone racks are coming to them, and it is normal to feel a little crazy. And when encountering zombies, the adventurer's initial reaction is: What kind of thing is this? It's disgusting to death, and the movements are so slow, walking around, walking around. However, when the adventurer finds himself surrounded by zombies, he will not panic at first, but calmly prepare for a "little breakthrough". Wait until they actually fight, and they will find that the difficulty of "breaking through a little" is a bit great! This zombie is so hard to cut! It takes more than ten hits to cut down one, and it only takes one shot to kill them when they fight back!
You can't run away, and you can't beat it. Being surrounded by zombies is such a humiliating thing.
However, if there are divine spellcasters in the team, whether it is a priest, a paladin, a druid, or a shaman, the divine magic is undoubtedly the greatest restraint on the undead, especially against zombies and other slow-moving undead creatures.
With a soft shout, a group buff spell fell. Feeling the power that continues to pour out of his body, it should be the power of the second-level spell brute. Followed by a group buff spell, there is nothing special about it, but judging from the slight glow on the body, it should be a defensive spell - toxin resistance? Or is it disease resistance?
The fingers and teeth of the zombies are poisonous, and the claws and teeth of the zombies in the field of vision emit a miserable green glow under the effect of the Olympiad vision, which is obviously some kind of magic toxin. Resisting with toxins is certainly the right thing to do. However, if there is no toxin resistance, if it is disease resistance, although the effect will definitely be reduced, but poisoning can also be regarded as a disease, and it can be somewhat useful.
Lady Mogre and two male paladins launched the first wave of attacks at the same time. They raised their one-handed maces, focused slightly, and threw them at the same time. Unlike the Wind Hammer, which was pulsating with cyan streamers when dealing with large rats, the mace thrown by it shone with golden brilliance, and it was a Sanction Hammer that was directly infused with divine power.
The Wind that can directly tear flesh apart has an excellent effect on the "armorless unit" rats, but the effect on the zombies with "armor units" must be discounted a lot. Zombies are undead, so it's better to use positive energy directly. The Hammer of Sanction is a paladin's attack with positive energy.
Three maces were thrown at the same time, and the golden light left three arc-shaped trails in the darkness. With three soft bangs, the falling mace fell fiercely into the zombie group, and the three holy flames rose immediately.
The zombie that was directly hit by the mace was instantly ignited by the holy force and turned into a flaming humanoid torch. Zombies don't feel pain, they don't know fear, even if they have turned into humanoid torches, they still sway forward slowly, and the soul fire burning in their bright red pupils is already full of longing for the flesh and blood of the living.
And as they swayed forward, the burning flames scattered in all directions. The zombies that were traveling with him around him were contaminated with the Holy Flame, and they soon burned as well. The zombies continue to infect each other with a virus called "Holy Flame", and after a while, they turn into a sea of golden fire.
Fang Qiuling let out a slight admiration: "Hey, it's really spectacular." ”
"yes, it's really ......," a male paladin also sighed, "It's the first time I've used this trick, and I didn't expect it to work so well on the undead." ”
Another male paladin also nodded: "But it can only be used on this kind of slow-walking guy, and it has to be crowded together." Last time, that kind of estimation didn't work, and I could only kill one or two at a time. ”
"Last time you could just smash it right on the wagon. There were many layers of stuffed in the carriage. It is estimated that such a large torch can also be seen. ”
I have to say that the paladins are really good at dealing with the undead. If there is no necromancer to suppress the Holy Flame, then this large group of zombies will soon be reimbursed. Of course, Fang Qiuling could also see that the paladin had a special passion for BBQ. Whether it's a cultist or an undead, or a demon or a devil, there's nothing that can't be done by a single Saint Flame BBQ anyway. If you can't do it, try again!
The golden sea of fire burned more and more, and the zombies fell in pieces. It seems that there are only zombies present, and the necromancer who controls them does not seem to be present. Although zombies belong to cannon fodder, cannon fodder is also combat power, and it is a "wealth" for necromancers. Sits back and watches their possessions come to nothing, and few people can remain indifferent.
However, until the golden flames gradually extinguished, the scene was filled with the smell of burning corruption, and no necromancer intervened. Their master should really be absent. However, not all zombies have been reduced to ashes, and nearly a third of the figures in the ashes are still standing.
When the Holy Flame is contaminated with these zombies, it will burn violently for a while. But it burns fast and goes out quickly. A large area of charred black can be seen in the burning area, and the zombie shakes its body before moving forward again.
"What ...... 'breed' is this?"
Lily didn't make a move, but she knew the power of the Holy Flame. So I'm curious about how these zombies who are still standing can withstand the scorching of the Holy Flame without the suppression of the necromancer. So she stabbed Fang Qiuling with her hand.
Fang Qiuling glanced at her unexpectedly: "I don't know, uh, I'm not a necromancer." ”
"Can't you just guess?"
“…… There are several high-level zombies that are not afraid of the Holy Flame. Oh, it's not that I'm not afraid of the Holy Flame, but I'm not afraid of the Holy Flame that goes up with this 'infection'. High-level zombies generally have venom in their bodies, and venom flows through their bodies instead of blood. When the holy flame encountered the venom, it was naturally extinguished. For example, voodoo zombies, purple poison zombies......"
The effect of using Holy Flame to deal with zombies is definitely good, but it is limited to dealing with low-level zombies, and there can be no external intervention. As long as a lowest-level darkness infestation, the Holy Flame would be directly extinguished. The Dark Burn is an attack spell for the living, which can cause skin and flesh to fester, and can directly cause physical exhaustion and death. If you cast a spell on a zombie, it will be like healing on a living person.
"Alright, don't talk about it yet. Those guys rushed up! ”
In the middle of the conversation, the zombie that was still standing rushed up. Although their movements are slow, they will eventually come to the front.
"Woo......"
A low roar came from the zombie's mouth, and it grabbed and waved in the face, first of all, a strange sweet fragrance.
Fang Qiuling originally planned to raise his shield to block the blow, and then use the Azul Light Strike to directly open a hole in its stomach. However, the strange sweet fragrance rushed into his nostrils, leaving him a thriller, and he quickly dodged the blow sideways.
A drop of dark green liquid fell from the claws of the fingers and onto the wooden inlaid shield. I only heard a soft sound of "zi", and there was a small pit on the wooden shield.
Fang Qiuling was secretly tongued in his heart, but the movements in his hands were not slow. The wooden shield in his left hand sank slightly, and he stepped forward with his backhand, smashing all kinds of things on the zombie's face, and then the blow of Zhanguang slashed upward, and the arm swung by the zombie was immediately cut off by a sword. Fang Qiuling turned around with him, and the blow of Zhanguang slashed down from the top down from the left side again.
The zombie's tough skin was completely vulnerable to the blow of the blue light, and its ugly head flew high in an instant. Green liquid immediately gushed out from the broken neck.
"Uh......"
Fang Qiuling hurriedly pulled back to avoid being contaminated with liquid. There is no doubt that this green liquid is highly poisonous, and it is useless to cut off the whole part if you stick it a little. There is no antidote for the poison, and you will soon be poisoned and killed.
“…… This thing is a voodoo zombie! Watch out for the venom in their bodies! ”
