Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 88 Don't Mess with Monsters
Voodoo Zombies are the "dark artworks" that necromancers get when they study necromancy, a filthy and dangerous zombie variant. When most adventurers hear the word "zombie", they think it's nothing more than mindless, staggering corpses. Most of the characteristics of Voodoo zombies are the same as normal zombies, but if you are thinking of them as normal zombies, it is inevitable that you will suffer a little, and it is not surprising that you will accidentally die.
This zombie variant is a bloodthirsty and ferocious undead creature. They are not unconscious corpses born of "nature" as a result of the invasion of negative energy, but are created by magic and subject to the pathetic existence of magic.
The Voodoo Zombie retains a little consciousness, and it is fully aware of its own situation and situation, as well as the disgusting magic that resides within it. As a result, self-aware voodoo zombies become extremely bloodthirsty, and are extremely eager to tear at the bodies of living creatures and eat the flesh of living creatures. Voodoo Zombies have tougher and more powerful skins than their non-"evolved" counterparts, but they are as slow as ever.
It's not enough to just chop down voodoo zombies. Because their greatest weapon is not their hard bodies and extremely powerful bodies, but the venom that is churning in their bodies. The necromancer uses his imagination to inject a highly poisonous liquid into the body of a voodoo zombie, and uses the "dark art" to restrain the venom so that the venom circulates through the zombie's body.
Voodoo zombies from different necromancers have the same venom in their bodies. But either one is highly poisonous. Just a small drop splashed on the wooden shield burns a hole, not to mention the toxicity, the corrosiveness alone is scary enough. If you step on this venom or be splashed on the face, it is estimated that you will be "summoned by the Lord" immediately, and there will be no chance to rescue it.
Fang Qiuling rashly slashed down with a sword, and the voodoo zombie arrived in response. However, the venom in the zombie's body splashed everywhere, which frightened him and quickly retreated.
Compared with Fang Qiuling's "unprofessionalism", the others may lack theoretical knowledge, but they are far superior in combat experience, and their strength is also stronger, and they are not merciless in dealing with voodoo zombies.
The paladin of Notos, the god of winds, drew his crosssword and faced it head-on without fear. The space of the underground plaza is open, which is convenient for the wide opening and closing of the cross sword. They bind the wind as a shield, and each sword swing carries a huge wind pressure. Don't talk about a little venom, even if the arrow is coming at you, it can blow it away. With the wind shield protection, the paladins can attack boldly and confidently, without worrying about splashing venom.
Lily was even more simply, the paladin of the god of love, Shuna, did not have an elemental shield similar to the wind shield, so Lily decided not to fight in close quarters after seeing Fang Qiuling slash a "juice overflowing" with a sword. She stood still from a distance, using herself as a humanoid turret. The Paladins of Eros are known for their multiple compound spells, and many players even refer to the Holy Knight of Love as a sorcerer who wears plate armor.
The teachings of Eros Shuna guide believers to pursue good and beautiful things, and the dead are "not beautiful things at all" in the eyes of Eros believers. It's your duty to get rid of these unsightly creatures! Eros's sorcery realm includes protection and kindness, and there are many spells against creatures in the lower planes, and the undead are barely considered creatures in the lower planes, so the priests and paladins of Eros are better at dealing with the undead than the clergy of Notos, the god of wind.
Lily prayed briefly, then pointed her sword forward, and a golden bolt of light shot out from the tip of the sword. The light bolt was extremely dazzling in the dark underground square, and the golden light fell on the place where the zombies gathered. The Voodoo zombie that hit directly was immediately ignited. This time, the venom failed to extinguish the flame, which not only burned the flesh of the voodoo zombies, but also the venom that flowed from under the flesh.
But that's not the end of it. After the first zombified turned into a giant torch and burned completely, Lily swung her sword and shot out of the blazing flame, flying straight to the nearest target, and after setting the nearest target on fire, the light bolt shot out of the flame again and flew to the next target.
It seems to be much less efficient than the Hammer of Sanctions, but each shot of the Light Arrow ensures that a target turns into a humanoid torch. In terms of wheel attack power, the light arrow is much higher. This spell didn't seem to be found in the list of standard spells summarized by the academy, at least Fang Qiuling hadn't seen a spell with this effect. It should be a type of Holy Knight Compound Spell of Love.
Pastor Ed silently began to pray. As he prayed, a three-pointed star magic array took shape at his feet.
Immediately after the magic array was formed, an arc-shaped light wave was ejected, and the light wave was transmitted forward like a wave. All the voodoo zombies touched by the light waves immediately froze, and their already slow pace became even slower, as if they had pressed the slow-down screen against the TV.
- Divine Magic: Anti-Evil Circle.
The priestess reached out and pointed to the location where the voodoo zombies were most common. Several of the staggering voodoo zombies turned sharply and waved their claws at their companions, and the voodoo zombies suddenly made a big fuss with each other.
- Divine Arts, Drinking the Undead.
A spell successfully hindered the voodoo zombies' progress and caused quite a bit of chaos in it, and the priestess immediately began to prepare the next spell. Judging from the small movements of her spell casting, it should be a petrified skin starter, a defensive spell.
Paladins and priests are both good at dealing with nether creatures, and they are unfazed by the constant influx of zombie evolutions, and they are easy to deal with.
In contrast, Fang Qiuling, who had the most abundant theoretical knowledge, did not perform very well.
The voodoo zombie that Fang Qiuling knew was a kind of "evolution" of zombies, and he also knew that the voodoo zombies were not flowing with blood, but extremely corrosive venom. In fact, the "common" zombie variants, whether it is from appearance to individual characteristics, or the process of zombie "birth", or some habits that zombies will have, Fang Qiuling is basically clear. This is thanks to Xiao Hanyun's strict counseling. At the same time, the collection of books in Weiyang Palace also contributed to it.
already knew that the first Kuroshio War would break out soon, so Fang Qiuling deliberately spent a lot of time reading such as "How to Face the Undead", "The Art of Darkness • Zombies", "Analysis of the Ten Common Undead", "Don't Underestimate Your Opponent", as well as "What to Love You, My Zombie Lover", "The Story I Have to Tell with the Undead", ......
- I'm sorry, the last two are novels, Fang Qiuling swore that he just flipped through them, and he definitely didn't read them!
However, knowing is understood, knowing is known, and it is still the same rush when encountered. Even if the challenge level of voodoo zombies is around ten, it is not even high-level cannon fodder in the game, and with Fang Qiuling's current strength of the black iron junior level, he can also open the matchless. But the actual response is still very troublesome.
The venom in the body of the voodoo zombie is beyond imagination, not only is it no less corrosive than a strong acid, but also the amount is also very large, so much that it can gush out, and even the floor is corroded with potholes. The venom dripped onto the floor, and bubbles bubbled up on the pavement made of large stone slabs, but there was no sour smell of the slate decaying in the air, but a hint of sweetness - how poisonous it must be to emit this smell! What did these "dark arts" zombies, black-hearted necromancers do to you? The rotten body can hold such a corrosive liquid, curious, really curious!
However, curiosity is curiosity, Fang Qiuling is unwilling to use himself as an experiment. Stained with a little miserable green liquid, poisoning is the lightest result, and direct death is not necessarily. Even if there is no direct contact with venom, the slightest sweetness in the air can also be poisoned if you smell too much.
Players in the game usually don't care about negative debuffs. Whether it is some kind of fever epidemic or a virus of unknown origin, the system or strength of a few energy levels minus zero; Or bloodshed, curses, and blood deductions for the duration of the cycle; Or the poisoning caused by the voodoo zombie in front of you is also a blood deduction within the cycle time. Players simply ignore these negative debuffs. If you are in a dungeon or have teammates, you can find a class with dispel skills, such as a priest, wizard, druid, paladin, shaman, etc. If you are a single player, then you will continue to farm with the negative debuff attached.
Targeted antidotes and exorcisms, sorry, because there are too many types, and if you carry them, they will take up a lot of storage space, which will lead to a decrease in the duration of the battle. Aside from the specific dispels needed for boss fights, other potions and nothing else will definitely not be brought.
AS A PLAYER, THE FOLLOWING BUFFS ARE RESIDENT:
- Don't be afraid of death: No damage will be caused by injuries, more than half of your health, etc., which will lead to a decrease in combat effectiveness!
- Mentally strong: No fear of excessive casualties!
- Never Die: As long as there is still breath, the battle is not over!
It can also be summed up in one: morale is high, morale is always the maximum!
But in this world, when there is only one small life, can this high-morale BUFF still be maintained? The answer given by Fang Qiuling was no. Even if Xiao Hanyun clearly stated that the Prism of the Door where the will of the world was manifested had the function of "saving life", Fang Qiuling still didn't want to experience the feeling of "going back to death". Needless to say, this experience is absolutely terrible! Of course, when it really came time to work hard, Fang Qiuling would not be ambiguous, now ...... Isn't it critical yet?
So when facing voodoo zombies, Fang Qiuling was very careful. It is better not to attack, take a few more steps back, dodge a few more times, and not give the voodoo zombies a chance to attack. Voodoo zombies have no brains, only an instinctive thirst for flesh and blood. They go forward one after another, regardless of gains and losses, as long as they knock down the living and bite into the flesh of the living, then everything is worth it for them. But Fang Qiuling can't, no matter how many voodoo zombies he cuts down, as long as he is caught by one, even if it is a little bit of skin, poisoning is inevitable.
Fight against the negative debuff of poison? No kidding. It also has to be able to stand firm and have the strength to swing the weapon - the will tells "I can", but the body clearly says that it can't carry the pot, and the limbs are weak and collapse to the ground every minute. Even if you have a special antidote for the symptoms in your hand, it is useless, and before you can drink it, you will die first! At least there has to be a priest who has an antidote to watch the whole process, maybe this can still be saved.
Fang Qiuling's current strength couldn't restrain the elements for his own use, so there was no need to think about the wind shield, fire shield or anything. Close combat definitely can't avoid the venom splashing on your body, so it's risky to fight in close combat, so it's better to honestly step back and attack at a medium distance with sword energy. The Royal Swordsmanship of Karthas is nothing else, but the attack distance is long.
The long sword stabbed far away, and the voodoo zombie a few meters away immediately had an opening on its body. The blade of the sword was raised, and a deep hole in the neck of the voodoo zombie also appeared. In a few moments, the voodoo zombie was decapitated. Because of the distance, the power of the sword qi is attenuated greatly, and when it is close, this blow is enough to make a hole in the Voodoo zombie and directly decapitate it.
Fang Qiuling flicked his wrist and prepared to do it again...... A golden bolt of light flashed from the side, turning the half-crippled voodoo zombie directly into a humanoid torch.
- What's the situation?
Fang Qiuling turned his head slightly, and saw Lily smirking at him. Lily laughed and snorted.
She's not helping, she's provoking!
However, Fang Qiuling didn't care, it wasn't once or twice that the little girl targeted him and had trouble with him. Now that Lily has a crush on this zombie, let it be given to her. There is nothing else here, and there are still a lot of zombies alive and kicking around. Change one, the next target...... Before the newly selected target could be shot, a bolt of light shot out from the zombie that had just turned into a humanoid torch, instantly setting the newly selected target on fire. The new target again turned into a moving torch.
- You just rest, don't get in the way.
Lily quietly raised her eyebrows, the provocation in her gaze intensified.
If you can't afford to provoke it, you can afford to hide. Another target...... This time, before Fang Qiuling could find a guy who could do it, several light arrows shot out from behind one after another, and the nearby voodoo zombies were all ignited at once, and all of them turned into walking torches.
Fang Qiuling was about to send out the sword momentum, and then stabbed into the distance.
- Okay, I'll just rest. You don't have to do it yourself, and the experience points will automatically go up, so why not!
Lily worked hard to grab the monsters, giving priority to naming the zombies in Fang Qiuling's direction, and one by one, a row of torches was burning. She was full of desire, and she didn't know if she wanted to show it.
Fang Qiuling wanted to remind her to pay attention to the consumption of spiritual power. At present, it is only an "hors d'oeuvres" before the "main meal", and if you use up your mental power now, then it will be fun for the necromancer to appear in a while. But when the words came to his lips, he spun around and swallowed.
Forget it, it's good for her to be happy. Anyway, there are still a lot of mana recovery potions, so it's time to take them out and use up a batch, and then refine another batch......
