Chapter 159: Sea of Skeletons

The trap they dug was narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, as Sivi said, a bit like an Erlenmeyer flask in a chemical experiment. This can effectively prevent the abyssal snake from crawling up from inside, you must know that the way the abyssal snake can move through the scales of its abdomen like an ordinary snake, it can also use its hard ribs under its own skin and flesh as legs, like a centipede to crawl quickly, if the pit is too shallow, or if the top is wide and the bottom is a little narrow, maybe it can rush up at once, in that case, the city guards who are now surrounding the pit will have to be reimbursed......

However, being able to dig such a big hole in a small period of time in the town, although the mages in this dungeon are not strong, the amount of magic seems to be very sufficient.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on a pit to trap the Abyssal Snake as a high-level abyssal creature. Not to mention, the venom of the serpent alone can dissolve a passage of escape on the edge of the pit.

Almost at the moment when Xiwei flew out of the cave, all the dirt and masonry around the cave mouth exploded violently, and they poured into the pit, burying the abyss snake in an instant!

Immediately, the other idle earth elemental mages began to contribute to the live burial, burying the serpent alive while also placing more rocks and dirt inside, and finally pressed the earth even more, it was nothing more than an earthen structure composed of mud and brick and stone debris, but with their efforts, the ground was now harder than ordinary rocks.

"Is that guy dead?" Euan let out a long breath, the most nervous person in this battle was not Sivi, who was entangled with the Abyss Serpent. It's not the earth elemental mages who process and add points, but he who has been uniting everyone and assigning their work.

A mage who is good at fire will drive out the weak demons around him, a mage who is good at the wind element will help transport the masonry and dirt dug out of the trap, a mage who is good at the water element will take care of the others and support the work, and a mage who is good at the earth element will be responsible for digging holes and filling in the pits at the back.

There are exceptions, but that's pretty much the case. Everyone worked together, and finally succeeded in burying the abyss snake alive hundreds of meters underground at the last moment!

"No, it's not dead yet." Sivi frowned and looked at the ground beneath his feet.

In fact, he didn't look at the land. Rather, it is a projection screen floating in the air.

It's easy to determine if the Abyssal Serpent is dead, just check if the corresponding quest is completed. It's a pity that even if they buried the Abyssal Serpent alive. The task of killing the Abyss Serpent on the Sivi quest panel still doesn't show a completed status.

But come to think of it, the environment of the abyss is far worse than that of the main plane, and the adaptability of the creatures of the abyss is far greater than that of the creatures of the main realm.

An existence of the level of the Abyss Great Serpent, even if it can hold its breath for three days and three nights, it is not surprising, and it seems impossible to suffocate it to death in a short period of time.

Of course, Sivi didn't plan to dig the other party out of the ground and kill it again. Regardless of whether he can kill it or not, even the amount of work to dig it out is not something that Sivi can bear.

After asking Eulan for some of the currency in this dungeon, the Elemental Crystal Fragments, which are good things, whether it's detonating them to kill people and set fires, giving weapons some power through inlays and enchantments, and most importantly, summoning the Fist of the Void Emperor. Sivi ran in the other direction.

This time it's to the east, where the Skeleton King is.

After all, Xiwei doesn't have the confidence to challenge the demon lord, so it's better to fight the skeleton monarch who likes to call a group of junior brothers to call the sky and mess around with the demon lord who has explosive combat power. …,

It is different from the abyss serpent that rushes forward directly and crushes everything in one go. By the time Xiwei arrived to the east, it seemed from a distance that it had turned into a sea of white forests, and many of the city guards had been separated into small teams, and they were struggling desperately in the sea of skeletons mixed with scattered low-level demons.

There are all kinds of skeletons in the Skeleton Ocean, and they are so weak that the crusade level is only level 1, and ordinary people can scatter them as long as they have weapons. A skeleton mage who is so strong that the level of the crusade is unknown, and can easily unleash a series of three-ring native magic bone magic.

And the Skeleton King himself is particularly eye-catching in the sea of skulls with an average altitude of only 1.7 meters because of his huge body that is close to three meters.

But even so, the city guards could no longer stay in the Sea of Skulls, let alone move to the other side's side to defeat them.

Sivi also tried to snipe at the Skeleton Monarch from a distance, but to no avail.

Not to mention the high-strength magic resistance that comes with the Skeleton King, every time Sivi attacks, a skeleton or something will jump out and block the blow for the Skeleton King.

Watching from a distance didn't help, he took a sip of the little magic potion he had left, and ran towards the Sea of Skulls!

As the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death. There are only three ways to defeat a quantitative enemy: you can have more quantity than him, or you can have quality that ignores the quantity level, or you can have a certain quantity and not a low quality.

The first two Sivi can't achieve it, even if you count the shadow servants and treants he can summon, the number here is still overwhelmingly unfavorable. And before Xiwei was promoted to the Great Mage, it was impossible to have the strength to really ignore the number of levels, so there was only one way left.

Gather the city guards who are in a state of being separated to form a force that can fight against the Sea of Skeletons, and then use this power to directly kill the Skeleton King!

There is also a saying of survival of the fittest in battle, those weak city guards have long died in the battle, and those who have been able to hold on to the present are all strong and powerful. This can be seen from the fact that they have been surrounded by the Sea of Skulls for so long, but they can still maintain a good fighting power.

And Sivi's choice to try and kill the Skeleton King also has his own considerations.

Among the five missions, protecting the tower is the most random, and Sivi has no way to guarantee that the tower will not be pushed by other bosses when he fights the boss. Among the three kill targets, the Abyss Snake was buried alive by himself and the city guards in the northwest. It takes a lot of time to suffocate it, at least the current Sivi can't afford to wait, and it can't be dug up, so naturally there is no way to kill it. There are three remaining tasks, among which the difficulty of killing the Demon Lord and the Skeleton King is half a catty, and the easiest is to kill five hundred miscellaneous soldiers, which now Xiwei has broken two hundred kills. It's half done.

However, even the task of killing 500 miscellaneous soldiers has a time limit, which must be completed within an hour. And because of the grappling with the Abyss Serpent, there are less than twenty minutes left now.

If Sivi didn't care about the Skeleton King and the Demon Lord. Twenty minutes is not to kill less than five hundred miscellaneous soldiers, but this is equivalent to giving the boss twenty minutes of free attack time in disguise, judging from the urine of the combat effectiveness of those city guards before. The tower is bound to be unkept. As a result, the Empress Sivi had to fight both the Demon Lord and the Skeleton King in order to complete the mission......

However, if you try to kill the Skeleton King according to the plan just now, these dense skeletons can definitely be used to make up the five hundred miscellaneous soldiers, and at the same time, there is no need to waste time, if you can take advantage of the situation to kill the Skeleton King, it will kill two birds with one stone! …,

Therefore, Xiwei gave up to observe the demon lord and went directly to the skeleton king.

It was not difficult to break into the Sea of Skeletons, the strength of the skeletons was too weak, and Sivi blasted a way out of the Sea of Bones with only one magic missile that was ten times more powerful. However, when he went deep into the Sea of Skulls, the pressure around him suddenly increased exponentially.

In close quarters, there are Skeleton Knife Axe Men (Crusade Level 6), Skeleton Heavy Armor (Crusade Level 7), Skeleton Shadow Assassin (Crusade Level 8), Skeleton Great Swordsman (Crusade Level 9), and more, with cannon fodder meat shield control and output all available. What's more, there is also a skeleton mage (crusade level 1~5) in the distance who repairs the skeletons around Xiwei when he hits him with magic, which makes his maneuver space even more stretched, and even the magic barrier that can barely cover his whole body after his perfection has cracked due to the number of attacks he has withdrew, and it looks like he can't hold it anymore.

However, Sivi has also experienced many copies. A man who has been fighting in battle for nearly two months in a row, and who has a lot of combat experience, will not be helpless because of a little skeleton.

At the same time as the magic barrier broke, Sivi bounced out all the surrounding skeletons with a repulsive spell, this magic is not lethal, but when surrounded, the effect is better than many powerful spells - if you use high-power magic at this time, you will also be hurt because you are too close to the opponent. It can only be to drink water to quench thirst.

When a small clearing appeared around Sivi, he first filled himself with a magic barrier, and then smashed it into the skeleton on his right hand with a blunt spell of mana. In that direction there was a group of city guards separated by the Sea of Skulls.

Relying on magic and fighting, Sivi finally arrived at a very dilapidated building, the house was an ordinary two-story house, and the surrounding walls were originally white, but now there were many earthy yellow places, which looked like patches were made on the white walls. In fact, this can really be regarded as a patch, when a skeleton digs a hole somewhere in the house, the city guards hiding inside will use earth elemental magic to seal the hole, and the house is already densely packed with this kind of patch as soon as it comes and goes.

Fortunately, there are no skeleton mages who can use the magic of the three rings to target them, otherwise this level of fortification would be destroyed at once.

This team is the weakest of the surviving city guards, consisting of one water mage, two earth mages, and one battle mage.

The battlemage is responsible for blocking the doorway, keeping all the skeletons out. The Water Elemental Mage is responsible for blessing and supporting the Battle Mage, and at the same time sharing a little of the burden for the Battle Mage when the battle situation is tight.

The two earth mages were busy tinkering, occasionally throwing a few dust balls out of the window, which were less powerful but better than nothing......

At first, the city guards in the house were very happy to see Sivi and thought that help was coming, but when they found out that Sivi was just alone, the house immediately fell into a desperate mood.

Sivi didn't bother to enlighten them—there were less than ten minutes left. And the task of 500 miscellaneous soldiers still has more than 100, and if you don't hurry, the mission will fail.

So he succinctly explained to the other party, "No, I like war!" With such inspiring words and no slogans such as 'Demacia' that could be shouted, Sivi simply explained his plan to the other party, and then rushed into the sea of skeletons again.

The city guards looked at each other. The most rearly also followed in the footsteps of Xiwei and moved in one direction.

They are not stupid, and they naturally know that the success rate of Dao Xiwei's plan is pitiful. But at the same time, they are not cowards, rather than huddle in the house and wait for death in fear. Why not simply sacrifice your life to kill the Skeleton Monarch? As city guards, they also have their own dignity and glory, if they don't have a goal, they will put their lives first, everything is just to live, and when the goal appears, they will put their lives aside and use it to defend their country and the people behind them! …,

Sivi's progress was not smooth, and the closer he got to the Skeleton Monarch, the more resistance he encountered, and the four mages he had killed with him had already killed an earth elemental mage. The remaining three also hung their lottery. However, after all the hardships, they finally approached the place where the second city guard was located!

At the same time, Sivi's mission has taken on a new twist.

[Ensure that Elidson's "Tower of Splendour" is not breached within an hour of the start of the battle: completed]

[Kill more than 500 demons and undead in an hour: Complete]

[Number of Remaining Required Tasks: 1]

After completing two missions in a row, he only needs to kill the Skeleton Monarch again, and this quest will be successfully cleared. In Sivi's experience, no matter what the copy. If you can clear the level at once, the reward will be much better than the second time.

The temptation of the reward made him suddenly have a lot of fighting spirit!

The second city guard team was much stronger than the first, there were more than a dozen of them, and they worked together in shifts to set up the barrier, kill the surrounding skeletons, and did not pull down the rest and healing. Even if the Sivi don't come, if they follow the current pace and the strength of the monsters, it probably doesn't matter if they are allowed to last for a day.

After Sivi stated his thoughts, the city guards immediately split into two camps, except for those who were still on shift.

One is that Sivi's idea is too unreliable, and instead of risking total annihilation, it is better to wait for the rest of the reinforcements to arrive, and slowly eat away all the skeletons with them. The other camp naturally felt that Sivi's plan was worth trying, and their attitude was a little more pessimistic, thinking that maybe there were no reinforcements that could come to support them.

The two camps argued for more than ten minutes, and only four people were willing to follow Xiwei to move forward, and the remaining three people before also said that they didn't want to waste their previous efforts and wanted to go to the end. By the way, their injuries had been healed by Sylvy with a life potion.

After the last time, Xiwei took seven people and began to move forward again.

Unlike when there are fewer people, once there are more people, you can choose other ways to move forward without resisting the attacks of the skeletons.

The mana output of Sivi's mana barrier barely covered the seven people, and then the other magicians took turns to be the strikers to open the way, while Sivi himself kept this barrier-like but movable shield all the way forward.

After that, although they passed through several separated city guard locations one after another, they were probably the same as before, and two camps appeared clearly, until the last time Xiwei ran through all the city guard locations and ran directly to challenge the Skeleton King, there were only fifteen people in their team......

Just as they were about to face off against the Skeleton King, a violent explosion came from behind them, followed by a terrifying wind as a Category 12 typhoon! It doesn't matter if they squat down quickly and then pull each other, at most it's just a difficult way to move, but those skeletons were blown to pieces, and many of them were directly killed by this wind mixed with magic, and suddenly the dense sea of skeletons was emptied a lot.

Before Sivi and the others could come back to their senses about what had happened, there were screams from people not far away.

Immediately, the magicians around Sivi also began to say in horror, "What about my magic? My magic is gone! "The Tower of Splendor has fallen, and we're finished!" "Damn, is Eliderson doomed!" "Mom's ......"

Sivi looked back into the distance and saw that the tower that had been standing tall had disappeared, thinking that it should have been captured by the Demon Lord.

As soon as the tower was destroyed, most of the human magic in this town was immediately reduced, and the previous screams should have come from those city guards just now - as soon as the magic power was reduced, even if it was originally comfortable in the sea of skeletons, now it can only become a sword.

On the contrary, these city guards who followed Xiwei did not suffer any damage because of the protection of Xiwei's magic barrier.

"Now is not the time to be in a daze!" Seeing the desperate looks on everyone's faces, Xiwei couldn't continue to sit idly by: "It's not over yet!" The only chance to win now is to move on, gather all that little strength, and defeat the Skeleton King! Only in this way can we seize the most difficult opportunity! We, our families, can continue to live! ”

"Don't worry, as long as you can stop these skeletons, I will definitely be able to kill the Skeleton Lord! Take me Sivi? The name of Edric is guaranteed! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
