Chapter 19: Skeletons

"I smell evil, and there should be those disgusting undead in it."

Su Hao sniffed lightly, it wasn't that he was pretending, but that he really sensed the evil aura, a rotten stench.

"Try to be careful, it's best to be careful with your step, there may be some monsters who want to sneak attack."

Undead monsters don't need to breathe, so those carrion bone racks often bury themselves in the ground, and when a living person passes by, they will suddenly jump out and sneak attack, very similar to the zombie movie at the end of the last century.

Li Ya'er nodded silently, and the two walked inside cautiously.

It was dim inside, except for a few glowing plants that shone brightly, illuminating the way ahead.

The faint sound of the wind was so clear in this extremely quiet situation, and the wind was mixed with a disgusting smell of decay, and the sound of stones falling on the ground from time to time made them very vigilant.

Shout~

A sharp sound appeared, and Su Hao, who was walking in front, reacted instantly and jumped to the left.

The next moment, a cold, green arrow slammed into where he had been, sparking on the solid rock.

Squeak ~ squeak ~

The ground under his feet trembled, and strange figures got up from the ground and surrounded him.

"I'll go, four melee skeletons, plus a skeleton archer, what a good start!" Su Hao couldn't help but complain.

No, five skeleton monsters appeared at once, and there was a skeleton archer with a bow and arrow standing in the distance, which was completely unfriendly to a novice like him.

"Li Ya'er, please use the greasy technique and the activation rope to temporarily bind these four melee skeletons, and I will deal with that archer!" Su Hao spoke quickly.

"Okay." The other party nodded, she also knew these zero-level tricks, but she hadn't experienced a battle.

Seeing that the archer drew the bow again, Su Hao quickly released the fire bomb technique, and a fireball flew towards the skeleton archer more than twenty meters away.

However, the accident happened, and the monster pulled the rusty iron bow and crushed the fireball with one arrow!

"Huh!" A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he unhurriedly chanted the incantation again.

Sure enough, everything in this game is realistic, and even the most rubbish mobs can defeat spells like this!

Su Hao's eyes rolled, and he felt more interesting, and he smiled and said to himself: "Cute little bones, I don't know if you can hide like this...... Greasy surgery! ”

With the spell, a yellow magic aura instantly reached the monster's feet, turning the area under its feet extremely greasy.

Puff~

The monster's feet slipped, and suddenly it fell into a, and even broke one of its ribs, which was extremely pitiful, and its upper and lower jaws opened and closed as if it was howling silently.

"Fire Bomb!"

A crimson fireball flew past and exploded in its hollow chest, shattering three more ribs and damaging the vertebrae that were the only supporting spine.

"Oh, that's a bit off." Su Hao shook his head, looked at the monster that was still struggling, took out an arrow from his personal backpack, and spit out another string of spells from his mouth, "Then do it again...... Arrows! ”

The half-meter-long arrow was attached to a layer of magical aura, and it flew towards the monster, piercing its bird's nest with precision, nailing it to the ground.

"Kill a low-level skeleton and get 9 points."

A system prompt appeared under his sight, and he didn't care, but looked at the dead monster and frowned slightly: "The power of the zero-level trick is really weak, and such a battle scumbag also needs three spells to kill, and it must be upgraded as soon as possible." ”

Fortunately, the mana consumption of the zero-level trick is very small, and the four spells only consume 5 mana, and his mana value is enough to release 6 rounds, which is barely acceptable.

He turned his eyes and saw Li Ya'er hurriedly casting spells, and a first-level magician in the hall was actually close to these garbage monsters, and was smashed by two skeletons around him.

Fortunately, once she is promoted to the first level, she will have a protective force field to protect her whole body, even if Su Hao can't blast this defense with explosives, so her situation seems to be dangerous, but in fact she is fine.

Li Yaer's performance reminded him of the time when someone accidentally fell into the river, and he immediately struggled wildly, and only after the audience on the shore reminded him that he realized that the depth of the river had not reached his thigh......

But now was not the time to think about it, he shook his head and continued to fight, took a string from his space backpack, and recited the incantation again.

"Activate the rope!"

The rope suddenly came to life, and swam like a snake to entangle the monster to death.

For low-level mages, casting materials can greatly increase the speed and power of spells, so it is not uncommon for a prepared mage to take down enemies one level higher than him.

Then, Su Hao took out a long sword from his backpack, walked over and stabbed it into his eye socket fiercely.

As a mage, the power of spells is naturally far greater than his physical attacks.

However, the mana recovery speed is too slow, even if you use meditation, you have to sit still for more than ten minutes to get full, if you rely purely on natural recovery...... Tsk, it takes an hour to get back a little, and that's fast enough to make you completely desperate.

So, let's honestly carry a weapon and go up and cut two swords!

The green flame trembled and dissipated in the next moment.

"Kill low-level skeletons and get 12 points!"

The battle ended quickly, Su Hao glanced at the broken copper and iron left by the monster, and said disdainfully: "A pile of garbage, keep walking." ”

The illusion world is not like the second world, killing monsters will explode equipment and gain experience, but it will leave corpses, and you can take everything on it.

It's a pity that the things left behind by this group of garbage mobs are even more rubbish, making him feel that picking them up is purely dirty for his own hands.

"I'm sorry." Li Ya'er's face turned red and she lowered her head and apologized.

"Don't mind, I was hired by you after all, and it would be a dereliction of duty to let my employer do it." Su Hao glanced at her with some surprise, these NPCs must be played by real people, right?

As he was walking, the front suddenly became brighter and hotter, as if he was in a furnace.

Then, a deep pit came into view, and the bottom of the pit was burning with raging flames, and several flame monsters with a height of more than three meters were swimming in it.

"Fire elemental!" Su Hao was shocked, and hurriedly pulled Li Ya'er back a few steps to hide behind the big rock.

Fire elemental, an elemental creature born from flames.

They feed on flames, and magma is their favorite swimming pool, which will become more and more powerful over time, and it is likely to transform into a powerful fire elemental lord, enough to go head-to-head with demigods, and it is not worth it to encounter the incarnation of gods!

This kind of elemental creature is also the lowest level, and it is completely invincible for an apprentice like him.

Just that body of flames, if you get close, you will be burned to death, not to mention that these guys are naturally proficient in flames, and the power of fire spells far exceeds that of magicians of the same level, and a random fireball spell can blow him up into scum.

"Can you tell me what's going on here?" Su Hao looked at his companion calmly.

Fire elemental monsters can only be born in places with plenty of fire-type energy, such as volcanoes, and this is an endless desert, so it stands to reason that such fire-type monsters will not exist at all.

Li Ya'er was silent for a moment, looked at the big pit in the distance with complicated eyes, and said in a very light tone: "Grandfather found out from the words of some ancient books that this temple was not destroyed by a demon, but was smashed through by a meteor. At that time, the earth shook violently, the majestic halls and statues collapsed one after another, and countless believers died. The Holy See of Nature abandoned the temple and left it to ruin. ”

"Why give up?" Su Hao asked, the amount of money needed to build a temple was incomparably huge, comparable to the tax revenue of the Shang Capital for a year or even a few years, and with the powerful strength of the Natural Temple, there was no reason to give up like that.

You know, the goddess of nature is the official main god of Greater China, and she is also one of the five strongest gods in the heavenly realm!

"Because that meteor validates a prophecy!" A hint of fear flashed in Li Ya'er's eyes.

When Su Hao wanted to continue asking, there was a sudden sound of chains dragging on the ground from behind them.

Knock~knock~knock~

A huge figure came from a distance, shaking the earth!
