Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 89 Fighting Zombies Fighting Zombies
Zombies kept coming out of the passages. They are faltering and slow, possessing much greater strength than normal humans, and have thick skin, but before they can get close to their prey and unleash deadly claws, they are slashed by the crosssword. Whenever the golden flames lit up, the zombies would fall in pieces.
How many zombies are cut down? The three paladins of Notos have given up counting. The continuous swing of the sword made them feel the weight of the cross sword in their hands again. The last time I felt the weight of the weapon in my hand was before I became a paladin, under the strict training of the instructor. The long-lost experience did not make the paladins feel nostalgic, but rather bitter in their mouths.
Priest Ed has maintained the Anti-Evil Circle, adding negative debuffs to all zombies that slow down and slow down. However, due to the fact that it lasted a little longer, and there were a little more zombies breaking into the circle. At this moment, his face turned a little pale, and his hands began to tremble slightly. At the moment, he was still gritting his teeth and desperately supporting, looking ...... It looks like it can last for a while.
The situation is worse for female pastors. Several defensive spells seemed to drain her, and she was now slumped on the ground, gasping for breath. I guess I don't have half a day to stand up.
Also with spells, Lily's situation is not so good. At the beginning, she still had the heart to come to Fang Qiuling to rob the monster here, the first round of robbery was the most fierce, and a circle of compound spells directly turned the monster into a moving torch. But now she has also drawn her long sword and used the outgoing fighting energy to slash and slash the zombies. The cost of compound spells is relatively small, but it can't withstand the number of spells cast.
Fang Qiuling was guarding Lily's side at the moment, and the two of them were guarding each other's backs one after the other. In the face of zombies, Fang Qiuling still has a very advantage, the blow of Zhanguang is worthy of being called the "undead searchlight", no matter where the voodoo zombie is cut, as long as it is slashed by the blade, it will be divided into two for sure. What Fang Qiuling had to do was to slightly add a little fighting energy to protect the sword blade, so that the blade would not be contaminated with venom.
The oncoming zombies staggered forward, Fang Qiuling was slightly short, and took the initiative to attack from the side. First, a shield strike slapped on the zombie's outstretched arm, sending the zombie to the side, and then the Clarity Strike slashed without any fancy slashes, and the sword was surrendered.
kicked the fallen zombie to the other side, and the zombie that followed closely stumbled as expected, and the headless and headless fell together, and suddenly there was a "close contact". Fang Qiuling took half a step back without advancing, and Lily's figure immediately appeared beside her. Her speed was even faster, and the two long swords in her hands fell staggered. The one who was in "close contact" with the head also lost his head, and then lost his life.
"Whew, Whew......"
Both of them gasped for breath, even though the stench was all around them now.
"And, how many?"
Lily couldn't help but ask.
"No, I don't know."
At first glance, the number of zombies seems to have not decreased at all. Destroy a batch, and another batch will pour out of the passage. This has been repeated several times.
"If you don't want to die, go on!"
"Phew! You still need to say it! ”
Another wave of zombies has hit. Lily gasped for a few breaths and seemed to regain some of her strength, and with a fierce swing of her sword, golden light poured out, covering a large area in front of her. All the zombies in the area began to burn, and most of them quickly turned into a ball of torches, and after a few moments, they fell hard; The Holy Flame on a small group of zombies burned for a while, but quickly extinguished, apparently they were more advanced "evolutions".
Lily is no longer able to use the Divine Arrow to name the voodoo zombies one by one, and can only simply use the Holy Flame to carry out a wide range of coverage attacks.
"Take it. It's a mana potion and an energy potion, so it's almost time to drink. ”
Fang Qiuling took out two bottles and stuffed them in Lily's hands, and then rushed towards the attacking zombies first.
Sideways to avoid the zombies flying head-on, he slashed at its back with a sword, slashing its spine. The short body caused the tall and thin man on the left to pounce on the body, and the same sword fell and cut off the tall and thin man's hand and kick. Swirling around, shielding the ferocious bite, watching the zombie's rotting teeth be shattered by the iron nails embedded in the shield, then stabbing its sword into its rancid mouth and kicking it hard.
The splatters of venom once again left a large number of unsightly black marks on the shield. Fang Qiuling erected his shield and smashed it heavily on the zombie's head, and the already rotten head was directly smashed flat under the heavy blow, but the shield also shattered with a crisp "click" sound.
Fang Qiuling jumped backwards with force under his feet, and while jumping, he gathered all the little fighting energy in his body onto the long sword in his hand. At the same time as it landed, a long sword aura stretched out on the strike of Zhan Guang. With a swing and a slash, the zombie used for it suddenly fell.
Fang Qiuling held back the zombie's attack in front, while Lily was caught in a small entanglement.
The two bottles in my hand are round and smooth to the touch, made of the finest transparent crystal - actually glass.
It's not the first time Lily has seen a bottle of this size. The larger of the bottles was filled with energy potions, and she had several bottles in her own bag. It's just that the bottle is not so crystal clear, and the potion is not so clear. The clearer the energy elixir, the better, and the clearer it means that there are fewer impurities in it, and the relative side effects are smaller. What Fang Qiu Lingsai gave her was undoubtedly a high-grade product in the energy elixir.
And the other, slightly smaller bottle, contains a bottle of azure liquid. The bottle was more familiar, and Lily felt like she would never be wrong in her life.
- This is a potion used by wizards to replenish the consumed mana so that they can cast more spells. Quick, drink it.
- And this potion is very rare, and the process of mixing it is very difficult.
- And you see, how beautiful this is. This pure blue, this crystal clear......
Lily still clearly remembered Fang Qiuling taking out this bottle at that time to fool her with the words she drank; remembers the scene when Fang Qiuling poured medicine into his mouth with a "hideous face" on his face; I also remember the unique taste of this potion, there is no strange smell of mana potion, it is much better than other inexplicable potion, but the taste of the potion, a little more bitter than holy water.
I don't know why, Lily has a particularly deep memory of these "not so good" things. Although the potion is bitter, how can it have a sweet feeling in your hand at the moment.
To drink or not to drink?
In the small entanglement, the air flow in front of him was agitated, and a slender sword qi swept by. This was a combat technique that Fang Qiuling had recently acquired, and Lily had seen it several times. This technique of stimulating sword qi is very powerful, very practical, when Fang Qiuling practiced, she saw it in her eyes, and the sword qi was stimulated to the longest, almost no less than a small crossbow. Most of them are skills that have been passed down from generation to generation by the Norn family.
However, at this moment, the sound of sword qi came into her ears, and the slightly special sound made Lily can't help but look up. The underground plaza was pitch black, and it was only possible to see with the help of dark vision potions. Lily could clearly perceive the sword qi that was binding into the wind, but she couldn't capture it with the naked eye. If you are in the sunlight on the surface, you should be able to see a temporary vacuum caused by the distortion of the air.
Fang Qiuling swung the Bright Light Strike again, and the surging sword qi swept through. The swarming zombies were cut off one after another.
Sensing the aftermath of the sword qi shaking the air again, Lily's eyes widened instantly.
- This is ...... Hehe, it must be too tired, mistaken.
Just as she was denying herself, the sword qi erupted again. The surging sword qi swept across the zombie group, and for a while, the stumps and broken arms flew sideways, and countless zombies fell.
Prepared, Lily clearly perceived the series of ripples left by the three sword qi beams stirring the air as they formed blades, as well as the slight sound of the ripples as they gradually subsided. The vibration caused by the sword qi cutting through the air was insignificant, and it lasted for a short time, only for a moment, but it was undoubtedly like thunder in Lily's perception.
- How is this possible!
Fang Qiuling didn't avoid anyone when she was practicing, and Lily also looked at it in her eyes, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong. But now that vision has changed to black and white that can see heat due to the relationship between dark vision agents, it is extremely unaccustomed to having to rely more on hearing, touch, and perception. Without visual interference, the sensitivity of hearing, touch and perception has increased dramatically. The vertical and horizontal sword qi showed another unknown side in the darkness.
Lily doesn't dwell on it, and there's no time to dwell on it. She had to make sure. If it is really as she "sees", then ...... She immediately opened the lid of the glass bottle and quickly poured the two bottles into her mouth.
The icy taste and bitter taste quickly spread on the tongue. As the fluid slides down the throat into the esophagus, it eventually falls into the stomach pouch. The physical tiredness soon began to subside, and the spirit was lifted.
Lily casually inserted her left sword back into its scabbard, took a deep breath, and rushed forward.
Fang Qiuling squeezed the little fighting energy in his body and exploded for a while. The zombie group in front of him fell a large number under the vertical and horizontal sword aura. Although this record is not as good as the other three Notos Paladins, he is quite satisfied.
Practice is different from actual combat.
There is no pressure when practicing, it doesn't matter how light or heavy a sword swing is, if it doesn't reach the standard, just do it again. The meaning of practice is to "make mistakes", that is, to make progress in continuous correction again and again. This sword is not in place, and another sword will be enough.
But actual combat is different, and there is an essential difference between actual combat and practice. If the same amount of Dou Qi can swing ten swords in practice, then in actual combat, you may only be able to swing eight swords, and maybe even only six or seven swords. Because there is a lot of pressure in actual combat, the opponent launches an attack, whether it is attacking or parrying, and unconsciously uses a little more force. With the sword in hand, it is absolutely a lie to say that he is not afraid, but those who have courage will restrain their fear, and the coward chooses to turn and run away. It is even more natural to vent the fear in your heart with strength.
Fang Qiuling's contact with the "inner world" was not long, and it was more than two months when he was full. The comfortable and peaceful life in this world does not have a "strong heart". There is some experience in actual combat, but no experience in hard fighting; There are some lessons learned from fighting, but they have not yet developed their own fighting style. It's a little better than a rookie, but it's too early to say it's a veteran.
An opponent like a zombie with thick skin and slow movements is very suitable for a high-level rookie like Fang Qiuling who has a certain amount of experience. Slow action means that there is no great danger if you don't risk rushing, and thick skin means that every attack must be targeted.
The fighting energy in his body was almost consumed, and it seemed that he had reached the limit of weakness. Fang Qiuling felt that his body was slightly weak, and then retreated.
Lily leaped out from behind her. The long sword in her right hand swept unremarkably, and a slender sword aura also plowed through the zombie horde. From the posture of the shot, to the ripples caused by the sword qi that beamed through the air, to the wounds caused by the zombie's severed hands and feet, it seemed to be the same as Fang Qiuling's touch. However, Fang Qiuling was pouring medicine into his mouth at the moment and didn't notice it. But even if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to detect it with his senses.
Fang Qiuling's perception was not low, but it couldn't stand the higher perception of the paladins.
Lily swung her sword and sent a rain of venom through the zombie horde. The longsword in her hand was obtained by the paladin of the Temple of Notos before entering the underground passage, and it was a very ordinary standard longsword, so the results achieved were not as great as the Strike of the Bright Light.
The sword qi of the Dawn of Light can directly penetrate the body of the zombie, whether it is an ordinary zombie or an evolved type, it is all slashed in two pieces. Lily's sword aura is also sharp, but it can't completely penetrate the zombie's body, and it feels like a chef cutting roast chicken and duck with a "knife block".
The zombie didn't seem to be dead after being stabbed a few times, and was still staggering forward. But as soon as they move, their bodies sway from side to side due to their own weight. The small section of the "knife block" that was still connected was disconnected after a few shakes. The zombies took a few steps in quick succession before they fell to the ground.
Lily's gaze flickered a few times, followed by another swing of her sword.
Killing zombies was one of the goals, but at the moment she was more aware of the ripples in the air caused by the wind as she swung her sword. And as the number of swings of the sword increased again and again, her eyes became brighter and brighter.
The sword qi has changed from more than one meter away from the sword to three meters, and the power has also changed from "even sword block" to direct penetration. Both the attack range and power have increased a lot, but the overall consumption is several times smaller.
Fang Qiuling drank most of the bottle of energy elixir, and then filled himself with a bottle of secondary physical strength potion. The two potions churned in his body, and he quickly regained his strength. When I looked up, I was startled.
Like a Valkyrie, Lily rushes left and right in the zombie crowd, invincible. The long sword in her hand was full of sword energy, and the zombie had no enemy in front of her.
- Isn't this woman running out of energy? Why did kung fu become so fierce in a while?
