Chapter 32: Mass Graves
After Li Mu finished sorting out his character information, he then rushed towards the south of the city.
His goal is very simple, find a few black iron zombies, try his current strength, and brush up on his actual combat experience by the way, no way, he now not only needs a lot of experience to upgrade, but even many skills are in urgent need of experience to improve the level.
After walking south for more than half an hour, the crowd in front of him suddenly became dense, Li Mu was curious, walked forward, found a passerby and asked, "Brother Tai, why are so many people gathered here?" ”
"Haha, you don't know this, the city guards are recruiting soldiers, and I heard that they will set off outside the city to suppress bandits in the next two days."
"Oh, I see." Li Mu nodded suddenly.
"Brother, are you also here to sign up, let me tell you, don't look at the rampant bandit activities outside the city, but once you meet the regular city guards, it is really vulnerable, we just need to follow behind the big army, pay attention not to be left alone, the benefits you will get when the time comes, you know, hehe......"
Li Mu was noncommittal, but he didn't have the idea of joining the city guard now, although joining the city guard army could get a lot of benefits, but at the same time, it would also limit his freedom, for Li Mu now, freedom is far more important than anything, so after figuring out the reason for the matter, he quietly left the place.
After coming out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, Li Mu once again entered the desolate wilderness plain, because it was close to Nantian City, the black iron zombies nearby were very rare, and if he wanted to farm a large number of monsters, he had to go to the mass grave more than ten kilometers away.
More than ten kilometers away, Li Mu spent less than half an hour to complete it all.
Although it was daytime at this time, the mass grave was shrouded in a thick fog, because the sunlight could not shine down, so it was extremely dim, a green ghost fire floated up and down in the bushes of the mass grave, and a little farther away, countless black shadows slowly crawled out of the ground or from the grave, revealing the ugly figure of zombies.
The zombies here are not all black iron zombies, there are many ordinary zombies with a level of about ten levels, as well as some resentful spirits that cannot be seen by the naked eye, Li Mu took out the tears of the bull from the package, and after using them, the scene in front of him immediately changed a lot.
Countless illusory figures floated in the air, these resentful spirits who could not rest in peace after death had hideous faces, their pupils were white, and their illusory claws were like eagle claws, emitting bursts of cold air.
Since there were no other NPCs or players nearby, Li Mu directly equipped Chengying, and after smearing it with a layer of dog's head blood, he slashed towards a nearby resentful spirit.
The resentful spirit did not know how to defend and dodge, Li Mu fell with a sword, and directly cut its body into two pieces, but this resentful spirit did not die immediately, but let out a sharp scream, turned around and rushed towards Li Mu.
"You are under the Curse of Wraith, and your attack/movement speed is reduced by 15%."
Li Mu checked the damage caused by the resentful spirit to himself, just one blow, he lost a total of 18 points of blood, but there are still 18 points of damage offset by the internal force protector, so calculated, the attack power of the resentful spirit should be between 45-55 points, and he can easily deal with it.
These resentful spirits belong to ordinary monsters, which are slightly more powerful than the retinue monsters summoned by the Bronze Corpse King, but in the face of Li Mu's super high attack, they can only resist three or four times, and then they turn into a puff of white smoke and dissipate in the air.
Li Mu walked all the way, specifically picking out those lone resentful spirits and zombies to attack, and after about half an hour of advancement, his internal strength and health were consumed to a very dangerous situation, so Li Mu had to stop and sit in place to recover.
Pranayama is a new ability he has gained after learning internal strength, which can effectively speed up the recovery of health and internal strength, and after meditating for an hour, Li Mu's state has once again returned to its peak.
Just as Li Mu was about to continue training, there was a faint sound of fighting in front of him, Li Mu paused, listened carefully for a moment, and then turned around and went straight to the left front.
After advancing for about two or three hundred meters, through the thick fog, he could already see three or four figures vaguely, and at the same time, the sound of fighting became clearer.
"Second brother, you hurry up and attract the attention of this monster from the front, me and the third attack from behind, it has been seriously injured and can't hold on for too long." I heard one of them say urgently.
"Okay, senior brother, but I don't have much internal strength left, you and the third junior brother have to fight quickly."
"No problem, we'll do our best."
Li Mu gradually approached, and finally, the battle scene at the scene was taken into Li Mu's eyes, only to see three humans who looked like NPCs were besieging a black iron zombie with an unusually large body at this time, and the three of them used swordsmanship, which was more than a grade higher than Li Mu's basic swordsmanship.
Although the three NPCs looked a little embarrassed, when the attack coordination was very tacit, the three of them seemed to form a small sword formation, firmly trapping the black iron zombie in the middle.
On the other hand, the black iron zombie, although it has copper skin and iron bones, under the siege of the three NPCs, its clothes have long become tattered, and its body is also covered with seven or eight huge wounds that are deep and bone-seeing, among which the right leg has even been cut off half of the soles of its feet, so that its movement has also been affected a lot.
Li Mu did not make a rash move, but hid behind a huge rock, quietly watching the battle on the field, it was obvious that the strength of these NPCs should not be underestimated, at least about the same as players in their twenties, and that black iron zombie was not an ordinary commodity that Li Mu had encountered before, and at a glance, he knew that this was an elite monster.
"It's strange, how can this elite black iron zombie not have an entourage monster by his side? There are no other monster corpses at the scene, could it be that there are other NPCs nearby that helped these people pull them away? After looking at it for a while, Li Mu's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of incomprehension flashed in his heart.
But soon, Li Mu's doubts were answered, and he saw that the black iron zombie who was originally at the bottom suddenly roared, and then, a large number of green ghost fires suddenly floated near the battlefield, and at the same time, seven or eight rancid zombies also crawled out of the ground and slowly killed the three NPCs.
"Ah, it's not good, this zombie has summoned his companions, the second and third, hurry up and go all out." Although the strength of NPCs is very strong, they don't have as many information channels as players after all, and they don't know that elite monsters will summon little brothers at critical moments, so when the elite black iron zombies began to summon follower monsters, the formation of the three NPCs began to mess up.
A cloud of oily green ghost fire suddenly fell on the second junior brother in the NPC, and the body of the second junior brother, who could barely resist the black iron zombie, trembled, and then was swept by the black iron zombie with a blow, hitting the body head-on, if he hadn't blocked it with the long sword in his hand at the last moment, I'm afraid that this blow would have been able to directly cut his body in half.
Even so, the second junior brother vomited blood and flew upside down, and he had no strength to fight again in a short period of time.
Without the containment of the second junior brother, the senior brother and the third junior brother immediately fell into a crisis, the main surname of the two is biased towards attack, although the lethality is strong, but the defensive ability is not high, after the black iron zombie solves the second junior brother, these two people immediately fell into an absolute passive state.
"Second brother, how are you, can you still hold on?" Senior Brother asked urgently.
"Cough, cough, senior brother, I, I'm afraid I won't be able to, the blow just now shocked my internal organs, and I can't lift my strength in a short period of time." The second senior brother's words came intermittently, and then, he quickly took out a jade bottle from his arms, poured out a red pill and threw it into his mouth.
"Senior brother, we are not ready this time, it is better to retreat first, wait for the second senior brother to recover from his injuries, and start over." The third junior brother suggested.
"No, this elite black iron zombie is very difficult to find, I finally found one today, and we have to take out its corpse pill if we say anything, otherwise we won't be busy in vain."
"But ......"
"Don't do it, just go all out, if it really doesn't work, I don't think Master will blame us."
The third junior brother wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything, and put all his attention on the monster in front of him.
As the surrounding Follower Zombies and Wraiths join the battle, the situation of the remaining two NPCs on the battlefield becomes even more dangerous, and those Followers cannot do much damage to them, but they can seriously interfere with their actions, and once the Black Iron Zombie seizes the opportunity, neither NPC can take the Black Iron Zombie's head-on attack.
