Chapter 448: The Sorrowful Sand Lizard Man

The tide of undead formed by small skeletons collided directly with the sea of people formed by the sand lizard people, strangling and infiltrating each other.

Like the sea at the confluence of a river and the sea, the earthy yellow skin of the sand lizards and the white bones of the undead dye the earth in two distinct colors: yellow and white.

With the support of these undead, the Sand Barbarians and Gobi Dwarf warriors of the Ash Legion breathed a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the sand lizardmen who climbed on top of them, there would naturally be small skeletons that would pounce on them and bite them to death, while they reorganized their formation and prepared to face the follow-up forces of the Humanoid Alliance.

The halfling sniper, who had to hide himself with [Sand Diving Technique] because of the attack of the sand lizardmen, was finally able to float up from under the sand layer and start output again.

Although the set of equipment provided to them by the Ash City Lord was equipped with a small air backpack in consideration of the concealment function of the [Sand Diving Technique], the air inside was only enough for them to breathe for a short period of time while holding their breath and condensing.

If they are unable to float to the surface for a long time to breathe, they may be suffocated to death, and if they venture to the surface, they risk being torn to shreds by sand lizardmen of their size.

More advanced oxygen tanks are of course also available.

But considering that halfling snipers only need to use sand layers to hide their tracks.

Or you can move through the sand for a short period of time and change positions to confuse the enemy, without having to dive deep in the sand for a long time.

Second, the equipment of the Ash Legion was temporarily made by the construction factory on the Yingzhou side, and the respirator engraved with [Deep Breathing] was more troublesome to manufacture, and it was not a necessary item that was urgently needed, so it was not included in the manufacturing task for the time being.

It's just a modification of the halfling sniper, the marching backpack used to carry magazines and other items, and a rubber sealing and waterproof layer is added inside, which can be used as a stealth airbag when needed.

As a result, I didn't expect to encounter this kind of situation where the sand lizard people occupied the ground, and it seems that various equipment needs to be further improved in the future.

The scuffle between the Skeleton Tide and the Sand Lizard army intensified further.

The two sides frantically attacked each other, causing the originally clear dividing line to gradually take on the shape of dogs' teeth.

In the course of the battle, although a large number of fragile low-level skeletons were stabbed and smashed by the sand lizardmen with bone spears and stone spears, more skeletons were still pouring up.

And the most terrifying thing about [Scourge of the Dead] is not its attack power, but its endless regeneration.

Even if it is just the "undead commander" of Gu Aotian, the miniature [Undead Scourge] released by him also has this characteristic.

As long as the effect of [Undead Scourge] does not disappear, those shattered skeletons will recover again after being replenished with negative energy, and reassemble themselves to continue fighting, even if the bones are smashed into powder.

And with the Tai Sui vortex directly opened in the body of Gu Aotian, the support of the "miniature negative energy half-plane gate point", the negative energy transmitted is almost endless, just used to maintain this miniature [undead natural disaster], it is estimated that the effect can be maintained until the heavens and the earth are old!

"Reviving the undead" and "evoking the undead" are two completely different concepts.

Undead who have been revived by necromancy can become an independent organism even without the support of necromancy, which is why they are often referred to as "undead creatures".

The skeletons that were temporarily awakened by the necromancy actually only relied on the support of negative energy to maintain their own form, and did not really produce the symbol of the undead, "soul fire".

If it weren't for the high concentration of negative energy, once the effect of the undead spell was revoked and the support of the negative energy was lost, they would soon collapse due to the negative energy contained in them, which would be constantly offset by the positive energy in the space, and they would return to a pile of immobile bones.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that the number of reinforcements belonging to the Ash Alliance is increasing, gradually suppressing the army of sand lizards and pushing them back.

The main thing is, what other representative existence is there among the undead creatures besides skeletons?

"Zombies", of course!

A large number of sand lizard corpses killed by skeletons have actually begun to revive after being affected by the effects of [Undead Scourge], turning into slow but powerful zombies, and starting to attack their own living kind.

Just as undead skeletons cannot be considered "zombies without flesh", undead zombies cannot simply be considered "skeletons with flesh".

Although both are undead, they have embarked on two different evolutionary routes, with skeletons absorbing negative energy and soul energy to strengthen bones and soul fire, while zombies gnaw on the flesh and blood of living beings to strengthen their own bodies.

These newly dead sand lizard zombies, the corpses are not completely stiff, and their movements are relatively flexible, but under the influence of negative energy, they already have the [crusty] characteristics of zombies, and their defense has been greatly improved.

In the face of the living kind, although the speed and agility are slightly inferior, but the current conflict is not a pursuit war, but you can ignore this flaw, but the sand lizard people who are hugged by them, don't think about struggling anymore, they will not let go of their claws without sucking up the other party's blood.

What's even more amazing is that after being bitten to death by them and sucking up the blood, not only will the sand lizard people zombies themselves recover quickly, their bodies will be strengthened, and the sand lizards they bite to death will also be transformed into zombies, if left unchecked, they may create an otherworldly version of Resident Evil in the havoc plane.

As more and more of the corpses of the sand lizardmen were transformed into zombies, the skeletal tide of the new army finally crushed the will of the sand lizardmen, and began to show signs of rout.

It's just that there are so many sand lizardmen.

Under the influence of the character of the creatures of the catastrophic plane who do not accept it and look down on life and death.

The sand lizardmen in the rear, who had not yet experienced the horror of the [Undead Scourge], were still rushing forward one after another.

So much so that the same kind of people who had the intention of retreating in front of them were blocked on the battle line and could not retreat, and they screamed in despair and horror and were continued to be pushed to death by their kind.

The battle between the sand lizards and the [Undead Scourge] aside, while the sand lizards were charging in waves, the various races of the Humanoid Alliance actually launched the same charge, but the swarm of sand lizards under their feet hindered their progress.

Although the vast majority of humanoid races directly ignore the existence of these cannon fodder allies, they either kick the sand lizardmen who are blocking their direction into the air, or simply step on them with a "snap" and stomp into meat sauce, but after all, they can't pick up their speed by stumbling.
