The black-robed man drove thousands of living corpses, striking head-on and detouring on both sides, putting on a posture that wanted to wipe out Li Qing and the others. [Chinese.com. The Starters]
Living corpses can run and jump, they are extremely fast, and their only flaw is that they are not good at sharp turns, and they are not very flexible in difficult terrain. And the hill where Li Qing and the others were located was a complex terrain with lush forests, which had a great impact on the charge of the living corpses.
However, no matter how great the influence of the terrain is, this hill is only a low hill in the early 100 meters. And once the living corpse starts to sprint, it doesn't care about physical exertion at all, and vows not to give up until it reaches its goal. Therefore, with the characteristics of the living corpses, it will take no more than two minutes to rush to the top of the mountain!
"Get out of the way!" Li Qing shouted: "Go back the same way, and rush down the mountain before the roundabout group of living corpses on both sides converge!" ”
As he spoke, Li Qing took the lead and rushed down the mountain in the direction they came.
In the current situation, there is only one option to go back to the original path. is as strong as Li Qing, and he doesn't dare to lead everyone to charge head-on against the living corpse brigade. There are at least three thousand living corpses in front of them, and there are still many living corpse warlocks mixed in them, and there is that mysterious and powerful black-robed man, if one is not careful, it may be completely wiped out.
Therefore, Li Qing could only lead everyone to turn around and run, hoping to rush down the mountain and break the siege before the living corpses on both sides were surrounded.
Li Qing was not afraid of the mysterious black-robed man, and dared to continue to confront him after suffering a secret loss. But bravery does not mean recklessness, if the mysterious black-robed man goes head-to-head with him, Li Qing will never back down. But the black-robed man drove the group of living corpses to charge, and Li Qing certainly wouldn't stupidly bump into it.
One ride is a thousand, and it is certainly very cool and stylish to ride alone to destroy the formation, but you also have to consider whether you have that ability. If Li Qing was now a high-level black knight above level sixteen, and he had a blood marrow energy body protector, then let alone thousands of living corpses, even if there were tens of thousands of living corpses, he would dare to swim against the current. But now the strength is not enough, so we can only avoid its front for the time being.
Although he was fleeing, Li Qing's momentum was still unstoppable. Everything that stood in his way, whether it was a stone or a tree, shattered under the weight of his sword. Wherever he passed, the wood and stone flew horizontally, and the mangrove forest and thorns suddenly became a smooth road, and he used his own strength to carve out a straight and flat avenue in the dense forest!
Li Qing rushed forward to clear the way, and Herisis and Feline El, armed with bows and arrows, followed him on the left and right, forming a front arrow with him.
The rest of the elves also held bows and arrows, followed behind Li Qing and the others, and when they leaped and galloped, they each landed in full understanding and automatically adjusted into a triangular formation. The two spellcasters, Aya and Federer, as well as Chu Lingfeng, who was not good at bows and arrows, remained in the center of the formation and accepted the protection of his companions around him.
In fact, with Aya's strength, she should have acted as the arrow. But her fear of living corpses goes deep into her bone marrow, and she trembles with fear when she sees them, and it is already good to be able to cast spells smoothly under the protection of her companions, and no one will ask her to do more.
The topography of the mountains and forests limited the speed of the living corpses, but it had little impact on Li Qing and the others.
Especially with Li Qing opening the way in front, and swooping from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the speed of the team was much faster than that of the living corpse.
Therefore, the crowd ran all the way down to the foot of the mountain. And when they rushed to the foot of the mountain, the large group of living corpses rushing up the mountain behind them had just crossed the top of the mountain. Of the two teams of living corpses on both sides, only more than 100 of them ran the fastest and converged together, blocking in front of Li Qing and the others.
When Li Qing and the others ran to the foot of the mountain, the more than 100 living corpses howled and rushed towards Li Qing and the others with great momentum.
Li Qing paused and slashed out with a sword. The slashing wind was activated, and the crescent-shaped cyan sword qi surged out, slicing the living corpse running at the front to pieces. After the sword qi shredded the living corpses in front, the remnants continued to shoot, and the two living corpses behind were cut into pieces.
Li Qing's sword is the signal of attack. The elves stopped at the same time, opened their bows and shot arrows, and the white feathered arrows screamed and tore through the air, shooting towards the crowd of living corpses!
In almost any face, when it comes to elves, the first thing that comes to people's minds is not the beauty of the elves, not the strict and persistent aesthetic taste of the elves, nor the long life span of the elves, or even the magical talents and enchantment craftsmanship of the elves that far surpass most intelligent races. It's the word "sharpshooter".
When it comes to elves, the first thing that comes to people's minds is always the word "archer". It seems that the word "archer" is specially designed for elves!
And at this moment, the elves behind Li Qing have lived up to the expectations of the elves of various races in all planes, and have not lived up to the prestige of "archers". Forty-seven elves, in addition to the mage Federer, including Philene El, shot an arrow at the same time.
In the sound of a rainstorm of sharp weapons entering the flesh, all forty-six armor-piercing heavy arrows hit, and none of them missed. And every arrow hits the eyebrows of the living corpse and penetrates the head of the living corpse!
The elves didn't communicate with each other, but they all seemed to have a heart, and there was no overlapping target, forty-six arrows, and they just shot forty-six living corpses!
There were only more than 100 living corpses in total, and after this wave of arrow rain, a large number of them suddenly fell, and only fifty or sixty remained.
If it were a living person, even a well-trained regular army, after being shot by such a rain of arrows, it should have collapsed long ago - then again, the regular army would not be so unwise, and no regular army would charge head-on against the elven arrow array unless it was absolutely necessary.
But living corpses are different, living corpses, like undead, are the best cannon fodder. Even if only one of a hundred living corpses dies, the last one will still charge feverishly, never dying.
Therefore, the remaining fifty or sixty living corpses were still howling and rushing forward, quickly shortening the distance between them and Li Qing and the others.
Call! A fireball the size of a human head suddenly burst out of the middle of the line and slammed into a living corpse at the front. In the sound of the explosion, the flames were churning, the smoke was billowing out, and the living corpse was torn apart in an instant, and several living corpses around it were also blown up, and their bones were broken.
After the living corpses fell, they got up and wanted to continue charging. But the magical flames from the Fireball Technique were burning brightly on them. They had barely taken a few steps before they burned their joints and muscles, fell to the ground and could not move, and soon became piles of charcoal.
As a level 6 magician, Federer can cast up to level 3 magic. And among the magic he knows, the most powerful is the fireball technique. This famous spell is fast and covers a wide area, and after the first explosion, there is also a secondary damage from the fire burn, which is the most useful.
And after Federer cast the fireball spell, another fireball roared out and flew towards the crowd of living corpses. This fireball was more than twice as large as Federer's, and the color of the flame was darker and brighter. It's Aya's fireball spell!
The fireball fell into the crowd of living corpses and exploded with an earth-shattering explosion. At least ten living corpses were crushed to pieces in the explosion, and about twenty more were ignited by the flames and quickly burned to charcoal. The remaining living corpses were also shaken by the shock wave and rolled to the ground.
For the same spell, the higher the cast level, the more powerful it is. If the fireball technique of the sixth-level magician Federer is a grenade, then the fireball technique sent by Aya is a cannonball fired by a 75mm field cannon!
Two fireballs blasted the crowd of living corpses to pieces, and the elves fired their bows and arrows again, sweeping away the remaining living corpses and opening the passage.
Because you have to stop shooting arrows and casting spells - of course, the elves have the ability to shoot arrows while running, but when shooting arrows while running, the accuracy is greatly reduced, and the bow cannot be pulled to the fullest, and the power of the arrows shot will be greatly reduced.
And the only fatal point of the living corpse is the head, the skull that protects its Achilles heel is extremely hard for the plague virus, even if the elves' longbows are all enchanted bows made by Seiko, and the arrows are all armor-piercing heavy arrows, with the elves on average only two or three levels of strength, they must also stop and pull the bow to penetrate the head of the living corpse with one arrow, and kill with one blow.
Otherwise, if you don't have enough strength, you will be shot in the skull, and you may not be able to pierce the skull. Unless it is an eighth- or nine-level elven archer, he has the strength to shoot arrows quickly on the move, killing ordinary living corpses with one blow.
Mage Federer is too low in level and does not have the ability to cast magic level 2 or higher on the move. Although Aya can cast spells on the move, she always has great fear in her heart when facing living corpses, and it is difficult to succeed in casting spells while moving, and she can only successfully release spells when she is still.
Therefore, after sweeping away the more than 100 living corpses, the brigade of living corpses that came from the left side was less than 20 meters away from Li Qing and the others. The one on the right is closer, less than ten meters away. Fortunately, the passage had been opened, and Li Qing and the others fled with all their might, and finally broke out of the encirclement before the group of living corpses on both sides closed again.
When he broke out of the encirclement, Li Qing took the initiative to slow down and fell behind the team. And when the last elf at the end of the team rushed through the encirclement, the group of living corpses outflanked on the right side was already close to Li Qing, who took the initiative to drag him behind.
Facing the several living corpses that flew in, Li Qing was not in a hurry and swept with a sword. Under the roar of the sword qi, those living corpses were still in mid-air, and they had already been torn apart by the sword qi.
Li Qing slashed out three more swords, and more than three hundred sword qi swept out, twisting more than ten living corpses that rushed one after another into pieces. Only then did he take a big stride and chase after the tail of the group.
At the end of the line, it was none other than the druid, Philene El. When Li Qing slashed the living corpses, she stopped, lowered her longbow, and chanted a spell loudly towards the chasing herd of living corpses. At the same time, his hands gestured to Xuan's mystery, and a black powder spilled between his fingers and fell to her feet.
When Li Qing killed the fastest dozen living corpses and rushed to her, her incantation had just finished reading, so she ran away with Li Qing as fast as possible.
"Aren't you casting a spell? Why don't you see the spell effect? Did the spell fail? Li Qing asked Philene El loudly as he ran.
"No failures! It's a trigger-type trap spell that can't be activated until the living corpse steps on it! Feline Elle explained aloud.
When Li Qing heard this, he looked back and saw more than a dozen living corpses howling and rushing to the place where Felyn El had stopped. As soon as they rushed there, a black fountain suddenly erupted from the ground. Li Qing took a closer look, only to realize that it was not a fountain, but a huge mass of black thorn vines.
The thorny vine was made up of more than a thousand vines. Each rattan is the thickness of a thumb and is five or six meters long. The rattan is covered with shark-fin-shaped triangular barbs, and the fingernail-sized triangular barbs are densely packed with jet-black metallic luster, which looks hideous and terrifying.
They rushed out of the ground, dancing wildly like tentacles, entangled the dozen or so living corpses that had triggered the spell and fell, wrapping the living corpses in a frantic twist, and soon grinding the dozen or so living corpses into flesh foam.
The twenty or so living corpses that followed suddenly did not have time to stop, and also crashed into the thorn trap, where they were captured by the thorny vines and wrenched into slag. After this, the living corpses reacted, and some of them leaped high and leaped over the thorn vines. Others go around to the left and right, bypassing from both sides.
Rao was so, there were still many living corpses who didn't jump high enough and were pulled down from the air by the rattans. Some of the living corpses on both sides of the road got too close, wrapped the rattan around their ankles, pulled them to the ground, and dragged them into the thorn bushes.
For a huge crowd of thousands of living corpses, the loss of dozens of ordinary living corpses was really nothing. However, although the loss was small, this spell slowed down the momentum of the pursuit of the living corpses, allowing Li Qing and the others to run farther.
With the thorny vines blocking the way, Li Qing even had time to look back. When he looked back, Li Qing found that not all the living corpses were chasing after him and the others. Only about a thousand or so living corpses followed closely behind his group, and the rest of the living corpses had already stopped, gathering on the hill where he and the others had just settled.
And on the top of that small hill, the black-robed man was surrounded by more than a dozen heavily armored living corpses holding weapons, holding magic staffs, only quietly watching Li Qing and the others, with no intention of continuing the pursuit.
Li Qing glanced deeply at the mysterious black-robed man, turned his head and continued to run. More than 1,000 living corpses followed behind Li Qing and others, chasing wildly all the way, with a posture of not chasing to the ends of the earth and vowing not to give up.
And when the backs of Li Qing and the others were completely submerged in the reckless jungle, the black-robed man on the top of the mountain did not recall the more than 1,000 living corpses who chased and killed Li Qing and others, and returned the same way with the living corpse brigade, and returned to the narrow valley.
