Chapter 9: The Player Who Suddenly Appeared

"Brutal eating..."

"Roar..."

In the mysterious secret passage, a few hungry ghosts and rich zombies are colliding fiercely with a large group of corrupted corpses. The summons that have been strengthened by the nine-character mantra have completely crushed the corrupted corpses. Even if you face a number of corrupted corpses that are several times your own, you can squeeze the corpses and keep retreating.

In the face of group battles, Qiao Mai's starving ghosts can always burst out with higher combat effectiveness. Especially when the opponent's strength is much lower than that of the Hungry Ghost, the Hungry Ghost can always deal a completely explosive crush damage. The Hungry has no attack skills other than one of its brutal eating traits. However, for the Starving, this trait alone is completely sufficient.

The cooldown of Brutal Eating is one minute, and while dealing high damage, it robs enemies of health, stamina, and energy. If an enemy is killed by Brutal Eat, Brutal Eater will immediately cool.

The Hungry Ghost, with its powerful attributes, can repel several corrupted corpses with every swing. As long as there is a corrupted corpse's health, and it drops to a certain critical point, the hungry ghost with a huge mouth will launch a brutal diet, swallowing the head of the remnant blood of the corrupted corpse in one gulp. The health previously reduced by the Corrupt Corpse will also be fully restored after devouring the target. That said, the Hungry Ghost is a creature that doesn't know how to hide at all. The way they fight is to go completely toe-to-toe with the enemy, exchanging damage. Finally, rely on the powerful Brutal Eating trait to end the fight.

Just three starving ghosts withstood most of the corrupted corpses. As long as they can't be killed instantly, they will always recover quickly.

In comparison, the zombie puppets with a lot of money are much inferior. Zombie golems whose attributes are not much different from those of Corrupt Corpses do not have much of an advantage in the face of Corrupt Corpses of the same kind. Moreover, Qian Duoduo has to constantly distract himself from shaking the bell in his hand to manipulate these puppets who are only rudimentary spiritual intelligence. Qian Duoduo, who wields the peachwood sword, has to rush up in person from time to time to help resist the attacks that the zombie puppets can't dodge.

Before, Qian Duoduo had told Qiao Mai that the cost of each zombie puppet was as high as thousands of Mandate of Heaven copper coins, and the materials for making it were quite difficult to collect. It took him nearly half a year for the five-headed zombie puppet to be created. Each head is Qian Duoduo's heart, and it is also the guarantee of his survival, as long as one is destroyed, his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Qiao Mai looked at Qian Duoduo who was jumping around with great feeling, and his round body was rolling around like a leather ball. He seems to be really bad at fighting, and the five-headed zombie puppet was a mess under his command, and he didn't play his due combat power at all, but instead made a mess of himself.

On Qian Duoduo's body, more than a dozen pieces of bronze-level equipment shone brightly, and the terrifying amount made Qiao Mai sweat. However, these rare equipment are also covered with jewels, because Qian Duoduo will not use these powerful equipment at all. Looking at his hazy appearance, it seems that he hasn't even fully understood the role of the equipment on his body. At least, the belt around his waist was exactly the same as the one on Qiao Mai's waist.

The armed vendor's belt with a cubic meter of space can store a lot of things, but Qiao Mai has never seen Qian Duoduo use it at all. It seems that apart from activating those equipment with defensive shield skills, he has no idea that the equipment on his body has other effects. It felt as if none of the equipment, including this body, was his.

Not his own...

Qiao Mai, who thought of this inexplicably, broke out in a cold sweat.

"Roar..."

The last few corrupt corpses were gnawed off by the starving ghosts, and the fierce battle came to an abrupt end.

"Haha... Damn trash, now you know how powerful the fat man is..."

As soon as the battle was over, Qian Duoduo collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. With his crippled physical attributes, his physical strength was exhausted not long after the battle began. It's a miracle to make it to the end.

"This can't be done, there are too many of these corrupted corpses, which is seriously delaying our progress, and there is no benefit in killing them..."

Looking at the illusion key that still only had one in his hand, Qiao Mai was anxious. The number of iron corpses that can burst the key is too small, and after wandering around for so long, it is only at the beginning that Qiao Mai is lucky to find one.

"Well, what can you do not have..."

Qiao Mai stared at Qian Duoduo, who suddenly calmed down in front of him, and spoke helplessly. He's been here for so long, so he should know some secret realm strategies or something.

"Purr..."

In the face of Qiao Mai's inquiry, the fat man who was slumped on the ground suddenly came out of his mouth, as if he was asleep.

"Ding, the remaining exploration time of the current secret realm is 2 hours... From now on, every two minutes, a Warrior-level zombie will be refreshed, and killing them will give them a mini black coffin..."

As the system's prompt sounded, not far from Qiao Mai, the mist in the air slowly rolled up. In just a few seconds, two or three strange black shadows slowly appeared in the tumbling mist.

"Ding, the warrior-level zombie has appeared, 21 meters away from the player..."

A large virtual arrow cursor appeared at Qiao Mai's feet, and the arrow pointed straight at several black shadows that suddenly appeared. There is no doubt that the first Warrior-level zombie to be refreshed is not far from Qiao Mai. However, at this time, Qiao Mai had no energy to pay attention to this, and he didn't have the heart to complain about the rotten system.

When the sound of the system appeared, Qian Duoduo, who was sitting on the ground, fell completely silent. An inexplicable momentum began to spread over his body, putting heavy pressure on the surrounding space. Qiao Mai immediately felt this unsettling atmosphere.

"Roar..."

The tumbling mist slowly dissipated, and three pitch-black figures descended completely. The two familiar iron corpses of Qiao Mai, surrounded by a stronger and taller zombie, all let out a loud roar, as if announcing their arrival to everyone around them.

Iron Corpse (Bronze) (Warrior)

After the iron corpse absorbed enough yin qi, it was affected by the secret method of the zombie path, resulting in a terrifying evolution. The evolved Iron Corpse has a stronger physique and armor than the Iron Corpse.

Power: 7.5

Physique: 7.8

Dexterity: 5.4

Perception: 4.1

Spiritual: 2.2

Will: 2.7???

The ironclad corpse with a greatly changed appearance, Qiao Mai could only detect his basic attributes, and the rest had all become question marks.

"Purr..."

The weird fat man Qian Duoduo let out an even louder snoring sound, as if he was really asleep.

"If you don't kill him..."

Qiao Mai stared blankly at the unresponsive fat man in front of him, very moved. This fat man is really a bit weird, and most of the time he feels fragile and weak to Qiao Mai. However, the occasional hint of powerful and dangerous smell made Qiao Mai sweat coldly and palpitate. Even if he told Qiao Mai a lot of useful information, Qiao Mai couldn't let go of his guard against him at all. Joe Michael clearly remembers that not long ago, he was going to rob himself and wanted to kill himself. What made him change his mind?

Qiao Mai thought about it and started to have a headache again.

Qian Duoduo is like a time bomb, let him follow, it's really a blessing and a curse. If he just threw him off and ran away, Qiao Mai was a little unwilling. Qian Duoduo completely seduced Qiao Mai's curiosity. What the hell is he trying to do...

"Stomp, stomp..."

"Bang..."

………………………………….

The sound of rapid and chaotic footsteps came from behind Qiao Mai, and in the distant chaos, Qiao Mai knew that it was the players who had been prompted by the system. It's only been an hour since the exploration of the secret realm, and less than a third of the players remain. The relatively weak guys are driven out one by one, and the vast rewards contained in the secret realm can only be obtained by the strongest players. Of course, some unlucky guys are also included.

"Alas, hurry up... Someone's coming..."

Qian Duoduo, who was shrouded in a mysterious aura, had a strange and gloomy expression on his face, as if he was about to undergo some great change. However, this change disappeared completely after Qiao Mai kicked him in the ass.

"Alas, big brother, am I asleep..."

"Ha, there are elites..."

The hazy Qian Duoduo rubbed his confused eyes, and several iron corpses in the distance caught his gaze for the first time.

"Don't look, there's a lot of people coming... Let's watch the fire from the other side for the time being..."

Just as Qiao Mai spoke, several strangely dressed players rushed out of the dense and chaotic passage in the distance. The strong two-dimensional costume atmosphere on their bodies made Qiao Mai embarrassed.

The leader is a thin young man, and his face with a pair of glasses is very quiet and delicate. However, his outfit is a different style entirely. A hideous, heavy armor draped over his body, enveloping his entire body, leaving only his head exposed. And behind him, he carried a huge heavy sword almost as tall as him. And at this time, the moment he saw a few iron corpses, his face showed a fanatical and excited expression.

"Long live Demacia..."

The young man shouting the slogan raised his huge heavy sword and launched a fanatical charge towards several iron corpses.

"Alas, the fourth... You take it easy..."

"Wait a minute, there's other guys out there... Fourth..."

The three figures following behind the young man looked at the young man who rushed out, wanting to cry without tears. Their little brother's personality is too impulsive, and it doesn't match his weak appearance at all.
