Chapter 22 Impregnable Scoundrel Fighting
There are a total of one hundred and sixty-four junior necromancers in the Yawei City Necromancer Guild who have signed up for the selection this time, but as a fifth-level necromancer guild, the Yawei City Mage Guild only has ten places to participate in the national selection.
Of course, this is the quota of the Necromancer Guild of Yawei City, such as the recommended quota of various legendary and sub-legendary necromancers is not counted.
Originally, Xiao Shumad was also a member of the recommended quota, but the three mentors unanimously asked Xiao Shumad to participate in the guild selection competition to accumulate experience.
Of course, Gander's purpose is more likely to be to make a profit from the gamble.
Although Vice President Stephen hoped that Xiao Shufang would not be exposed too soon, the three mentors unanimously agreed, and it was a good idea for him to have one more place.
Xiao Shufang was shocked when he heard this number for the first time, after all, the people who could participate this time were all junior necromancers with good strength.
But then I thought about it, after all, time is not a problem for the undead, and the huge amount of time has also created more necromancers. Xiao Shufang found that many of them had turned their bodies into undead.
And there are also quite a few necromancers in undead form, such as skeleton mages, zombie mages, and ghost mages.
They are all necromancers, and naturally they can also join the Necromancer Guild.
This selection is still in the ring duel mode, and the fastest win of five consecutive games can be qualified as the champion, and then if no one challenges them, they can get one of the last ten places.
There is a special dueling arena room on the second basement floor, which is a subspace opened up by the powerhouses of the Necromancer Guild, which is a good place for duels.
Most of the duels between necromancers are through duels of undead summons.
After all, neither bone magic nor curse magic has little effect on undead creatures.
Moreover, as the selection of reserve officers of the undead legion, it is more to test the command of the undead summons and their own strength.
Because the best way to deal with the necromancer's crowd tactics is to decapitate, as long as the owner of the summon is killed, all the undead summons will be expelled from the underworld.
Soon it was Xiao Dashao's turn to fight for the first time, and he was lucky enough to meet a skeleton mage, this skeleton mage seemed to be very accomplished in skeleton summoning techniques, and actually summoned another skeleton mage, and then the two skeleton mages summoned skeleton soldiers together.
Various skeleton creatures were summoned and combined into an army of skeletons, and a rough estimate of the number of skeleton summons was close to a hundred. Fortunately, this skeleton mage did not master the military formation, although he blessed the skeleton army with some soul fire, protection against resentful spirits and other magic, but it was not taken into Xiao Dashao's eyes.
"It's interesting, so let me summon something interesting." Xiao Shufang silently recited the undead summoning technique, took out an iron block from the casting material pocket, and then with the completion of the summoning circle, two huge zombies appeared.
"Ironclad zombie, crush the other side for me." Xiao Shu said with a wild smile, this ironclad zombie is an elite-level zombie summon, with a hard corpse comparable to steel, which is an absolute nightmare for a skeleton with a bone spear in his hand.
An ironclad zombie walked forward with all his might, but the zombie, which was already extremely slow, was even slower with an iron armor.
But even so, the bone spear attacking from the opposite side was blocked by an iron armor, leaving not even a trace.
The two skeleton mages on the opposite side teamed up to cast the Ghost Fireball, a necromancy similar to the Fireball Technique, which deals high damage to spirits such as Wraiths. But for the ironclad zombies, it's just two small pits.
Step by step, slowly moving towards the skeleton mage, if the skeletons want to perform the decapitation tactic, they will face the second ironclad zombie, and Xiao Shufang is also obscenely hiding in the corner of the ring, so that the skeletons can not play a role at all.
Although the tactics of the crowd composed of low-level soldiers are very good, if the enemy is the kind of guy who can't break the defense, then the phenomenon of ants biting and killing elephants will not happen.
The skeleton mage decisively chose to surrender, and it would be a waste of time to fight any longer, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart.
After all, this is in the ring, and there are space constraints.
Otherwise, in the wilderness, at the speed of an ironclad zombie, the skeleton mage would be able to fly this clumsy guy's kite with even a skeleton spear thrower. Of course, Xiao Shufang naturally has some hole cards, so admitting defeat is not a loss.
The first game is simply completed, but the ending looks a little unenjoyable.
After all, if you encounter the kind of guy in the game whose flesh you can't cut to death, he won't be able to kill you.
But this guy sticks to you, you have to hit him, and then it's a stalemate. A game that has been played for more than an hour is not over, and you will have to quit the game to see who can consume whom.
The second opponent is a middle-aged necromancer, and judging by the undead creature he summoned has a third-order blue elite wraith among them, you can know that this guy should have two brushes.
And maybe this guy has collected information about Xiao Shumad, so he chose a guy like a resentful spirit who is extremely fast and can fly to deal with the extremely slow ironclad zombies. And it seems that he is very confident in himself, this guy actually didn't summon other undead creatures.
If Xiao Shumad only relied on ironclad zombies, then he would naturally lose, but Xiao Shumad was a guy who learned more than n elite summoning creatures, but this guy was a black-bellied person, and he still satisfied the middle-aged uncle's wish and summoned the ironclad zombie.
Two ironclad zombies appeared, and some people shook their heads after watching Xiao Shumad's previous game, thinking that Xiao Shumad would only do these two hits.
Some people will also feel sorry for Xiao Shumad, after all, if it weren't for the kind of person who can summon ghosts, it is entirely possible to fight a few more rounds with two ironclad zombies.
The elite-level wraith flies extremely fast, and judging by its blue appearance, it should be a frost wraith.
directly ignored the ironclad zombie and came to Xiao Shumad, and his sharp claws were about to pounce on Xiao Shumad.
"Ghost Fireball! Ghost Fireball! "Keep casting ghost fireballs, this frost resentful spirit is as if it was hit by a machine gun, and constantly hindering it, those onlookers also thought of it, as a third-order magic, although the ghost fireball is not very powerful, but it has a good lethality for ghosts in the spirit state, and now Xiao Shu is crazy and obscene in the corner of the ring, and there are ironclad zombies in front of him.
Wraiths can only attack from the air, and such a narrow angle undoubtedly becomes a target, and the advantage of flight cannot be brought into play at all.
Fortunately, the elite-level wraith has a good amount of blood, and was manipulated by a middle-aged mage to avoid the spell range, but this game has reached a stalemate again.
This middle-aged mage was suddenly embarrassed, originally thought that he had found a way to crack it, to deal with such a novice (because Xiao Shumad looks very young, which is low strength in the necromancer's cognition, and the official zombie summoned by Xiao Shumad is a chicken rib class, although it is an elite-level zombie, but it is still very flawed, but I didn't expect that it would make this set of tricks very insoluble with the ghost fireball. )
Should I surrender or not? It's a painful question.
It is true that the middle-aged mage has a reason to underestimate the enemy, but in fact, he can also summon an elite-level wraith.
But the two elite-level wraiths couldn't attack Xiao Shumad hiding in the corner at the same time.
And if you deal with the ironclad zombies first, as mentioned earlier, the attack of the ghost-based undead creatures is not high, so it will definitely take a long time. However, according to the rules of the game, whoever can win five consecutive matches in a row can get the title of champion, but it does not mean that the loser cannot challenge again.
If it is really worth the loss of wasting time here in Xiao Shufang, in case Xiao Shufang comes out with any more moths, he may not be able to participate in the selection place, so the middle-aged mage chose to give up after thinking about it for a while.
In this way, Xiao Dashao was so lucky, yes, the people watching around felt that the young necromancer in front of him definitely won two rounds of the game by luck.
In fact, Xiao Shufang's strength was not high, but he relied on obscene tactics to win the game.
And this tactic can actually only be won so easily in the ring and in the current rules, otherwise if you change to any place, Xiao Shumad will definitely die if you play like this.
Only a few shrewd people will figure out that it is definitely a deep understanding of the rules to develop such a perfect tactic. However, many people don't understand that since this kid has such a high level of insight, he should understand that this trick can't eat all over the world.
There are still many ways to restrain it, so these people who saw it didn't say anything, just silently waited for this kid to run out of luck.
On the other hand, Gander is happy, this tactic is formulated by Gander and Xiao Shufang, two guys with bad stomachs, in order to attract those people who think that Xiao Shufang's ability is only these three axes, and when the time comes to meet those who everyone thinks can win, Xiao Shufang will make a comeback, and then he will be able to make more money.
However, this time the market is not a bet on these qualifiers, but on who will finish in the last 10 spots.
The first two games are considered to be a test of the waters, and only those who win three games in a row will enter the final bet.
Based on the performance of the first three games, those who set up the bet will set the odds for that player.
Then the odds will be different for each round.
And fortunately in the third game, Xiao Shufang ran into a guy who was not very strong.
In fact, this person can summon three ghosts, and he is good at attacking spells, but unfortunately it is useless to encounter Xiao Shufang's rogue play, although this person is unwilling to give up the opportunity to win three games in a row. But after some experiments, after Xiao Shufang summoned an ironclad zombie again, he completely despaired and gave up the game.
It's a pity that Xiao Shufang is the only one who won three games with an elite-level zombie in the entire competition, and later many necromancers went to learn this ironclad zombie summoning technique.
In the end, the organizer had to ban the use of the ironclad zombie summoning spell at the next tournament.
