Chapter 16: The Old Man of the Sword Saint
After preparing the identification code, everyone moved forward again.
There are basically two ways to sweep the mutations:
One, find the source and solve it. The source could be a specific monster (such as Alexander's corpse from the last undead mutation), or it could be some otherworldly item that went berserk, etc.
Second, if you can't find the source, then directly clean up all the monsters in the mutation, and the source will naturally be exposed.
Although the mechanism of the formation of the mutation is not yet clear, after all, this world was born from the online game "Iron and Fire", and it is impossible for the online game to produce a "no-solution copy" that forcibly deceives the liver and destroys the player's experience, and this world will naturally not either.
The two mercenary groups still maintained a sufficient distance as they advanced. The sword of azure is on the left, and the wind of freedom is on the right.
Only this time, the people of the wind of freedom did not hold the hilt of their swords at all times to guard against them, and it seemed that after some rest before, everyone's tense nerves were also relieved a lot.
The street in front of me was full of shadows, and countless figures suddenly appeared. The mercenaries hurriedly stopped, holding down their weapons and preparing for battle.
I saw that what appeared in front of me was a faltering figure. His clothes were tattered, his skin was festering, his limbs were thin, his face was pitted with maggots, and his hair was tangled like dead branches and leaves.
"This, it's a zombie?" Medea asked in the Mind Channel.
Zombies, walking corpses, are also common monsters among the undead. It is characterized by the fact that there are no lethal parts, the blood is thick, and the head must be chopped off to be completely killed. It belongs to the Ghoul's lower class, and also contains one of the recipe ingredients of Flesh I.
Of course, judging from the previous situation, after the monsters in this mutation were killed, they could not absorb extraordinary power, and they could only harvest fragments of wizard stones without dropping spiritual materials, indicating that they were basically fakes copied by mutations, not real transcendent creatures.
Everyone has even fought the real ghoul once, of course, they are not afraid of these weaker impostors, but the number of monsters on the opposite side is too much, and the one in front has already walked more than ten meters away from everyone, and the back is still appearing from the end of the street.
It's quite depressing.
"Commander, they don't seem to be attacking Yuwang." One of Matthews' henchmen observed, "It's like ...... It's like an ordinary town-dweller, walking down the street. ”
"Since they don't mean to attack, let's not attack yet." Matthews stared at the zombies who were walking leisurely with their heads bowed, and said slowly, "Anyway, the middle of the road is empty, let them pass." ”
"What should I do?" On the side of the Azure Sword, Medea also asked questions in the channel.
"Two options." "First, we attacked and took the initiative to enter the fight. ”
"Second, when they get to the middle of the road and separate us from the winds of freedom, then they suddenly attack and we are forced into battle."
Girls: ..................
That's the first one!
Matthews just gave the order to go down, everyone stay prepared, but don't take the initiative to attack...... Seeing the side of the Azure Sword, Mia and Peggy had already rushed out directly.
"it!" Matthews almost vomited blood, aren't you blue swords all pretty girls? How could it be so belligerent!
"Draw your sword!" Of course, he couldn't stop the two girls who had already rushed over, so he hurriedly ordered the mercenaries to draw their weapons and prepare to fight.
In a short distance of ten meters, the two girls crossed almost instantly. At the same time as they rushed into the monster group, the heads of the two zombies were already flying high.
"Bibi?" Peggy shook off the blood from the dagger and quickly asked, "I won't use that swordplay." ”
"Come on." Mia also said with great interest.
With the death of their companions, the zombie swarm quickly fell into a riot like a swarm of alarmed bees.
One tried to surround the two, while the other rushed towards the two mercenary groups like a school of sharks smelling blood.
"Into the alley." Aske immediately commanded.
So the girls immediately turned 90 degrees and retreated into the alley between the two buildings.
Eleanor and Sidlifa, one left and one right, immediately sealed the entrance to the alley. Those ferocious zombies rushed forward, as if the waves crashed against the reef, and they were torn apart in an instant.
Medea, Mier, Sheila, and the three remote outputs climbed onto the dustbin next to the wall, and then began to frantically output to the monsters outside.
The freest are Peggy and Mia, these two rely on their super speed to get in and out of the zombie group, and the monster can't even touch them.
Peggy's short sword is extremely lethal, and with every swing, a head flies.
Mia's dagger damage is not much more powerful, because the dagger is more suitable for stabbing after all, so it takes two slashes to harvest human heads against zombies.
"Wow, Peggy! You count me! Mia, who figured out what the problem was, suddenly roared.
"Your skills are not as good as others, you better admit defeat." Peggy taunted her, and suddenly reflexively kicked the ground high, and huge flames swept under her, turning the four nearby zombies into fire men.
"Medea!" She turned her head and roared. If she hadn't jumped fast just now, this flame would have engulfed her too.
"Ahh Medea smiled, pulling out the fireball with both hands again.
"Asker!" Peggy hurriedly rushed back to the side of Eleanor, who was fighting, and planned to complain to the regiment commander behind her, "Medea, she bullied me!" Asker......"
Her eyes widened in astonishment, because the regimental commander, Asker, was not in the alley.
Medea glanced around, and her face suddenly changed.
The regimental commander is gone.
Aske pressed his sword with one hand and looked around at the fog around him.
The expected change has happened.
As a psychic and dream-like mutation, a common method is to deliberately separate the player team, commonly known as "bag dropping".
Just now he just blinked his eyes, and the surrounding environment completely changed, and he didn't even know when the bag was dropped.
Well, maybe a replica of yourself has already appeared with the girls.
Fortunately, whether it was how to identify clones or how to fight without the command of the regimental commander, Asker had given him special training and guidance.
Now that they have been teleported here, they can only hope that they can deal with it independently. After all, if you cover them all the time, the girls won't be able to grow up quickly and be on their own.
Asker pressed his sword forward, his steps steady. There was fog on all sides, overlapping and hazy, and the outline of anything else could barely be seen.
The ground beneath his feet seemed to be boundless, giving him the feeling of walking in the desert.
However, a figure soon appeared in front of him.
Asker drew his sword, and almost at the same time, the figure on the opposite side drew his sword and turned around.
Seeing his appearance clearly, Aske was suddenly shocked:
, it is actually the famous physics demigod in "Iron and Fire", the real sword saint of the Shinra, and the well-known NPC nicknamed "Old Man".
Richard Nall!
