Li Qing bent his bow and arrows, aimed at the group of living corpses dozens of meters away, and shot a flame arrow. [Chinese.com. The Starters]
The arrow dragging the bright flame tail pierced through a living corpse, bursting with a rain of fire, instantly burning several living corpses around it to ashes.
After successfully breaking through, Li Qing and others had already fled more than 10 kilometers. And the more than 1,000 living corpses are still in hot pursuit. Seeing that the living corpse brigade did not chase after them, after escaping to a dangerous terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Li Qing and the others decided to stop and kill the group of living corpses.
More than a thousand living corpses are not easy to deal with. But now there are three spellcasters in the team, and among them is a level sixteen archmage. Although this great magician has a serious psychological shadow on living corpses, as long as she protects her and does not let living corpses get close to her, she can still exert eighty percent of her spell casting level.
In addition to the casters, the elves are not weak. Although they are all just second- or third-level rookies, as long as there is the right terrain, the rookies can also play a big role.
And now the terrain is very suitable. Li Qing and the others came to the top of a mountain, which was lined with cliffs tens of meters high, and only a bridge-like ridge in the middle was passable. In this terrain, the living corpses can't even make a detour from the side, let alone besiege them from all sides. Even if it is a frontal charge, each row can only row up to a dozen or so living corpses. If you do more, you'll be squeezed off the cliff.
With spellcasters, suitable terrain, stable long-range output such as elven archers, and Li Qing, a tough guy who can act as a tank from far and near, he can certainly try to destroy this group of pursuers.
At this moment, Li Qing was squandering his extraordinary skills with the support of blood marrow energy. Flame Blasts shot out one after another, like a powerful cannon.
Forty-six elves lined up in two rows behind Li Qing, taking turns firing arrows in a two-stage shot.
In pursuit of the rate of fire, a continuous rain of arrows was formed, and the elves' heads were slightly reduced, and the power of a single arrow was also slightly reduced, but each shot could also put seven or eight living corpses. The rain of arrows formed by the two-stage shooting is even more continuous.
Arrows rained down, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air was mixed with the chanting of magic spells. Two mages, Aya and Federer, stood behind the elven arrow array, chanting spells and casting spells.
Federer unleashed a greasy spell, and the herd of living corpses, who were already struggling under the rain of arrows, suddenly made matters worse, slipped and fell, and rolled all over the ground. More than a dozen living corpses fell from both sides of the ridge and fell to the bottom of the cliff dozens of meters high, shattering to pieces.
Aya also doesn't cast magic that amplifies power, and she only casts the second-level spell of greasy magic. She is ten levels higher than Federer's mage, and she casts a wider range of greasy spells. A spell can cause at least more than 100 living corpses to slip and fall and crash into a rolling gourd. If you are unlucky, you will also fall directly off the cliff and fall into a meat patty.
There were two casters who were sluggish and impulsive, Li Qing's powerful flame blast arrows, and the elves' rapid and ruthless continuous rain of arrows, although the living corpses were desperate to follow one after another, they could only rush up and shatter wave after wave like a wave blocked by a levee.
Everyone was trying to kill the enemy, even Chu Lingfeng took an elven longbow and kept shooting arrows.
She claims to be able to use all eighteen kinds of weapons, but after all, there are strong and weak.
Spears and swords are her two best weapons, and bows and arrows are her worst. Twenty meters **** fixed target, she is sure to hit every shot. If you shoot a moving target, you will have to lose your accuracy. If you move a little faster, such as as as a living corpse, you will only be 50% accurate, and you can't guarantee that you will hit the vital point.
However, at this time, you have a big advantage. The group of living corpses could barely take a step beyond the thunder pool, and was blocked twenty meters in front of the arrow array. Chu Lingfeng had enough time and space to aim as much as he wanted, and shot slowly and methodically. Although he shot a little slower, far less than the elves who were good at shooting arrows, he slowly shot several living corpses.
These more than a thousand living corpses sound like a lot, but there are no powerful living corpse warlocks among them, they are just ordinary goods, and it is actually just like that when they are killed.
If Aya hadn't been restrained too ruthlessly by the living corpses, with her strength, it would not be a problem to kill all the more than 1,000 living corpses alone. Even if Li Qing is not afraid of the living corpse virus and will not be infected into a living corpse, with his current super state of blood marrow in his body, full of energy, and unable to fight no matter how he fights, he can kill all these more than 1,000 living corpses by himself.
It's a pity that the two strongest people in the team can't give full play to their strength.
Needless to say, Aya, Li Qing didn't dare to guarantee that the power seed produced by Su Su would make him immune to the invasion of the living corpse virus.
And if he rushed into the group of more than a thousand living corpses to open Wushuang, Li Qing would not be unscathed. Once a living corpse scratches a hole or is bitten, the consequences are unpredictable.
It is precisely because of the fear of the plague of living corpses that although in terms of absolute strength, Li Qing and the others have an almost crushing advantage over these more than a thousand living corpses, they can only use long-range output to fight slowly, and consume the number of living corpses little by little.
The corpses on the ridge are like mountains, rivers of black blood, and stumps and broken arms are scattered in all directions, looking like a flesh mill. The living corpse is not moved by the tragic scene of the battlefield, but still follows one after another, forgetting life and death, and vowing to fight to the last corpse.
And then they really fought to the bottom of the corpse. As Aya's finale fireball technique was released, the last group of living corpses were shattered in the blazing black smoke, and the remaining living corpse howled and pounced, and was hit by the elves and shot into a thorn.
So far, none of the more than 1,000 living corpses pursuing Li Qing and others have survived, and the entire army has been wiped out.
"It's finally clean!" Herisis let out a long breath, took up her longbow, flicked her wrist, and relaxed her sore arm.
Shooting heavy arrows with a hard bow is a physical task. Even if the elves are naturally good at shooting, their physique is good, and they continue to shoot dozens of arrows, which also makes these young elves with an average strength of only two or three levels exhausted, all of them have a sore back, and their arms are weak.
Some of the young underage elves even sat on the ground, rubbing their arms and grinning, apparently from archery to the point of hand cramps.
"It's really quiet. Speaking of which, this group of living corpses is not very powerful, but the roar is annoying. If only they could shut up when they charged. Li Qing said with a smile.
After this battle, he was not very tired, only a slight sweat on his forehead.
His iron folding bow is a super strong bow, and when he is placed at the fourth or fifth level, he is afraid that he will not be able to pull it open. Even with his current strength, a full bow will consume a lot of physical strength. However, with the blood marrow energy in his body, the physical strength consumed can be replenished in an instant, so although Li Qing also shot dozens of arrows in a row with a high rate of fire, he did not feel tired, and he was still in full condition.
"It's always a little weird." Feline El's two pointed ears trembled slightly, shook off a few drops of crystal sweat, and said breathlessly with her hands on her hips: "These living corpses chasing us are really too ordinary. It looks like it's all ordinary civilians, not even a little stronger. There's something wrong with that. ”
The strength of living corpses is directly related to their strength during their lifetime. The more powerful you are when you are alive, the more powerful you will be when you become a living corpse. Ordinary civilians who have no strength, after becoming living corpses, are the easiest low-level cannon fodder to deal with.
The more than 1,000 living corpses who came to hunt down Li Qing and the others this time were actually the most ordinary low-level cannon fodder-level living corpses, not to mention the living corpses, not even the second- or third-level living corpses transformed into ordinary soldiers. This situation seemed to Philene Elle to be abnormal.
Philene El saw it, how could Li Qing not know? He also felt very abnormal about it.
These living corpses were all manipulated by the mysterious black-robed man. The black-robed man can drive the living corpse, and it is impossible to pick up the weakest low-grade cannon fodder to drive. The strong among the living corpses must be controlled.
Thinking of the black-robed body always surrounded by more than a dozen living corpses with heavy armor, Li Qing said thoughtfully: "There are thousands of living corpses, it is impossible not to even have one of them. Unless the black-robed man who drove the living corpses gathered all the powerful living corpses, gathered them around him, and released only the weakest group to hunt us down. ”
Herisis pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "The black-robed man should also see our strength. Why does he think he can kill us with only the weakest thousand living corpses? Does he look down on us like that? He has to personally lead the team and bring the strongest living corpse to possibly kill us. ”
"I don't feel like he's going to kill us......"
Li Qing scraped the short hard stubble on his chin with his thumb, squinted his eyes and said slowly: "That black-robed man should be able to see our strength." He must have known that just a thousand or so ordinary low-grade living corpses would never be able to kill us. So I think he just wants to drive us away with these more than a thousand low-grade living corpses, and drive us far away. ”
"Then why did he want to expel us?" Herrisis said, "He has so many living corpses under his command, we can't take the initiative to provoke him." Isn't it nice that everyone doesn't invade each other? Why do you have to trouble us and use a bunch of cannon fodder to drive us so far? We were indeed tired and frightened. But the black-robed man didn't do any good, but lost thousands of cannon fodder. It's obviously thankless! ”
"The behavior of the black-robed man is indeed a bit inexplicable...... But we can't guess the result here. Speaking of this, Li Qing glanced around the elves and said solemnly, "So I decided to go back and investigate and see what the hell that black-robed man was doing!" ”
"Go back and investigate?" Before the elves could speak, Aya exclaimed with a pale face, "Don't! The black-robed man himself was very powerful, and there were thousands of living corpses under his command, and there must have been many powerful living corpses among them. With the manipulation and drive of the black-robed man, the corpses will only become more powerful. We managed to escape, and if we went back to investigate, once we were discovered, we would never have a second chance to escape! ”
"Yes, it doesn't matter what the black-robed man wants to do, it has nothing to do with us." Herisis also advised, "Let's continue our journey to our predetermined destination." The road was blocked, and we could take a detour, that is, an extra day or two. ”
"I knew there was danger in this trip, so I decided to go alone."
Seeing that Chu Lingfeng opened his mouth and looked like he wanted to persuade, Li Qing hurriedly made a pause gesture and said:
"I have to find out. The secret of that black-robed man's manipulation of living corpses is very important to me. In fact, that secret is equally important to everyone. Because that black-robed man can manipulate living corpses, he may know the secret of the plague. If you can find out some secrets from him, or catch him...... If you think about it, you might be able to unravel the mystery of the outbreak of the plague of living corpses, and even have a chance to solve it! ”.
