isH Chapter 18 The Tide of Bones Like the Sea (4)
When the first rays of dawn appeared in the sky of Paranon Town, Chen Kai no longer knew how many times he had brandished his weapon to cut off the head of a skeleton soldier. (The fastest update speed is in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) i He just mechanically raised his feet and kicked off the city wall the skeleton soldier who was lying on the city wall looking for his severed head.
Of course, the tone is that it is a city wall, but it is better to say that it is a slope made of white bones. Attached to the wall where Chen Kai and the others were, the accumulated bones of the dead skeleton soldiers had accumulated to a height of nearly six or seven meters, which was almost equal to the height of the city wall. However, those skeleton soldiers who are pressed under the skull wall and are not dead will always get up and shake from time to time, and then the pile of skeletons that have accumulated to a height of six or seven meters will collapse in a clump and become a mound three or four meters high again.
When Chen Kai kicked the skeleton soldier who had lost his head off the city wall, the body system that called the police again made him stumble for a while. If it weren't for the last two eyes that stured and stood still, it is estimated that they would have planted the city wall directly with one heel.
"We're almost at the limit! The old mages were forced by the sword to exhaust their magic power and cast spells, and in the end they only delayed for less than ten minutes, what a bunch of waste wood mages! It would be nice if I had given me another ten minutes to rest, at least I wouldn't be hungry now! Chen Kai's eyes swept over his body, and the red and purple numerical slots continued to shine in his field of vision, and the use of the body pill had not yet been completed, if nothing else, it would take at least another half an hour to pass the drug immunity period.
"Boss! I can't hold it anymore, can I withdraw? Fei Yun also staggered and brandished the dagger on both feet, the most aggrieved thing for a thief like him was not to be killed by someone stronger than him, but to die of exhaustion in the face of a huge number of skeleton soldiers. Because he doesn't even need to use a big move, he can stab a skeleton soldier to death with a dagger, as long as he pierces the opponent's skull with the dagger and shatters the opponent's soul fire with a little fighting energy. But now the skeleton that fell at Fei Yun's feet was not two hundred but one hundred and fifteen, and he had only rested for less than ten minutes. In fact, Chen Kai and the others have already set a record of a player fighting continuously, although there are players who have been fighting for several hours in a row, but that is when someone rotates. With no one in rotation, the players never fought for more than half an hour in a row, but Chen Kai and the others fought for two hours. If you insist on counting the rest time, Chen Kai and their continuous fighting time is more than an hour, which is already a record among players. After all, the player's body value does not increase significantly after a long period of exercise like the aborigines, and the increase of the player's body value is conditional, and there are very few players who actually achieve this condition.
In general, the player's body increase lì is nothing more than being blessed by the gods in the game, or drinking holy water with the power of the gods, or eating a special blend of permanent potions that increase the body lì. The easiest and most cost-free way is to keep running, keep consuming the body and doing all kinds of activities, and then stick to it for a period of time to make the body increase a little by ten points and twenty points. It's a pity that although Chen Kai and the others are now hoping to gain physical growth, they don't have that time to exercise. Although they heard very much that their body value had increased by 10 points during the battle, if Chen Kai had to choose, he would rather not have this increase than stay away from this battle.
"If you can't hold it, you have to hold it! Hold on, it is estimated that there will be players online in a few minutes, and you must hold on until that time! Chen Kai knew from the old mayor that there were a large number of players in Paranon, but it was very unfortunate that the undead attacked in the early hours of the morning. At this time, except for some players who have life-support cabins like Chen Kai and them, and players who are used to sleeping in the game, most of the others are sleeping in reality. Of course, this can't blame those players for not working hard, after all, not everyone is as lucky as Chen Kai and them, and they made a lot of money at the beginning of the game. Most players can only break even or have a slight surplus in the game, and of course, some of them have been losing money, sometimes a loss is a few days of eating instant noodles to survive.
In fact, the main reason for the large-scale offline of Paranon players is the recent incident of the Warcraft attack on the village in Paranon, a large number of Warcraft rushed out of Paranon and attacked the village, and Paranon players were sent out to clean up those Warcraft. With the help of the gold coins obtained from cleaning up the monsters, these players made a lot of money, so many of them ran off the game to relax. It's just that Chen Kai also knows that even if those players are online, they may not be of much use, because the total number of players in the entire Paranon is only three thousand, and those with a level of more than the fifth order are only one thousand. This is not comparable to the number of skeletons, but it is better to have players as a reinforcement than civilians who have just picked up a sword.
It's just that Chen Kai also knows that even if all the players are online, they may not be able to retreat the battle in front of them, at most, it will only delay the fall of Palanon a little. Although the old mayor believes that as soon as it is dawn, the undead will automatically disperse, but anyone who has participated in the battle to defend Anclo or players who have seen those battle videos know that it is absolutely wishful thinking. Even when the sun was shining, the undead who attacked Ankolo's cities did not necessarily show any signs of weakening, and at most the chances of resurrection after death were lower. At the same time, if the sun does come out, it may not necessarily be a good thing for the warriors guarding the Paranon.
In the pitch black state, because you can't see how many skeleton soldiers there are, although you will feel a trace of despair, you will still have some hope in your heart. I always thought that the number of skeleton soldiers would not be too many, I always felt that with the power of the sun they could defeat the skeleton army, and I always felt that Paranon could last three days. But if you do see that boundless army of skeletons, it is estimated that the hopes and delusions that have been stored in the hearts of the guardians will be completely shattered, and if the sun cannot reduce the power of those dead creatures, then the last glimmer of hope will also be lost. The most terrifying thing is that when the mercenaries guarding the city wall find that the dead creatures do not retreat as the old mayor said after the sun comes out, then the mercenaries who have been fighting for nearly two and a half hours may fall into a period of sluggishness and collapse in an instant, thus causing unnecessary casualties.
It's a pity that even the mayor of Paranon Ferrosara pinned his hopes on the fact that the sun appeared and the undead would retreat, but in Chen Kai's opinion, unless the sun god was the old mayor and his father, this kind of miracle would basically not occur. But then again, there doesn't seem to be a sun god in the game, only the god of light and the lord of the dawn can be related to the sun. But Chen Kai could make it very clear that the above two gods basically had no ability to make these dead creatures in front of them retreat in the sun, unless they personally descended and used their power to kill them. However, it seems that this is not very likely, if the gods can descend on the main plane anytime and anywhere, then those dark forces will not be so rampant.
When the first rays of dawn were seen on the horizon, the mercenaries and civilians on the city walls were a little excited, because they all felt that according to the old mayor's words, the dead creatures would retreat when the sun fell. It's just that Chen Kai was worried about that ray of morning light, not because there was anything wrong with the morning light shining on the earth, but with the help of that ray of morning light, Chen Kai could see the gray-white army of death that was constantly stirring in the distance.
"That's a lot!" This was Chen Kai's only thought when he saw the boundless army of death, although it was still not very strong due to the light. He didn't see much, but he could still see how terrifying the army of skeletons was stirring in the thick morning mist. In that way, the skeleton army in front of them is just the most ordinary skeleton soldiers, and it is enough to bulldoze the entire Paranon, as long as they find an opportunity to attack from other walls, it is estimated that this goal can be achieved.
It's just that the luckiest thing for the humans of Paranon is that the death army has no intention of attacking the other city walls, and they are like a tendon and only attack the city wall where Chen Kai and them are. This was definitely good news for the civilians of Paranon, because as long as someone held the wall on this side, other civilians could escape the city with the help of another gate. But no one thought of this, or most of the townspeople thought that the whole of Paranon was surrounded by an army of skeletons, and that it was safest to stay in the city. It's just that they don't know that the so-called safest place in the city is definitely not Palanon, a border town that basically has little defense power and is not even a fifth-level town, but at least a fourth-level or above town or a third-level main city is safer. Perhaps only a city with an army of millions of inhabitants and tens of thousands of people can resist this boundless skull frenzy, and Paranon is definitely not such a city.
It's a pity that Chen Kai and the others don't know about the siege of the city by the skeleton army, if they knew, they might have abandoned the entire Paranon to the old mayor before the battle began, and led all the townspeople to a safe city. It's a pity that this qiē is too late now, Chen Kai can imagine that the other gates of Paranon must be full of skeletons with carrion now, and it is estimated that Palanon will be completely cut off from the outside world from now on.
"How so? Why didn't those damn skeletons back away! Why? When the sunlight began to shroud the earth through the morning mist, the mercenaries on the city wall found something that shocked them, but it was also something that Chen Kai had known for a long time. That is, the sun did not cause much damage to these skeletons, or at all, they continued to fight in the sun, attacking the walls.
"Don't worry! Maybe it's just that the sun isn't strong enough and those mist blocks the light! By the time the sun comes up, these damn bone sticks will run away! The other mercenary comforted the mercenary in a panting voice, but unfortunately even he himself did not believe that his words were true, and a terrible despair spread throughout the city walls. The old mayor's heart continued to fall as the sun rose, for he couldn't see far away from the town of Paranon in the early morning mist, but he knew one thing was that the dead creatures around him hadn't retreated as he had expected.
"Am I really wrong? Maybe I should have told everyone to retreat in the first place! The old mayor's heart flashed with such anxiety, and his spirit was a little trance, and several times he was almost caught by the rushing skeleton soldiers and pulled down the wall.
Chen Kai was also anxious in his heart, his body had already begun to call the police, and he had considered letting everyone move closer to each other, so that the reduced defensive area could alternate with each other to rest. But then the pressure on the others would rise dramatically, so he didn't do that after thinking about it for a long time. But now he had to do that, because all of them were running out of bodies, and if they didn't rest, they might not have to kill them with skeletons, and they would die of exhaustion. It's just that when they began to slowly get closer to each other, they found that there were more than a few of them on the entire city wall, and almost all the mercenaries were supporting each other to form a small group to fight. The more than 500-meter-long city wall has been divided into hundreds of areas, each of which is connected to each other as a weak, but at the same time the last line of defense in the path of the skeleton army.
Around Chen Kai and the others gathered a number of civilian swordsmen, or rather, civilians with long swords. Although the strength of these people is very low, they have a very good vision, and they know that Chen Kai and they are all senior adventurers. The most important thing is that Chen Kai and his team have a holy sacrifice, and the aura power of that sacrifice has helped the guards on the city wall withstand the crazy attacks of the skeleton soldiers several times, and even allowed many injured civilians to recover a certain amount of life in the healing light. Of course, if she only relied on Chen Yi's aura healing, her few manas were estimated to be consumed faster, so in fact, Chen Kai and Su Wan would play the role of healers for a while. While consuming mana, take a few breaths with the help of the healing magic to release it, and stuff half of the food into your mouth that can restore your body in battle. As for what this food is? It was the truffles that Chen Kai had found in the misty forest of Ankelo, and these truffles had been processed by the chef of the Palanon innkeeper and turned into a special truffle food that could be restored in battle. It was with these truffles that Chen Kai and the others were able to survive such a difficult two hours, and not hang on the city wall because their bodies were exhausted.
"Boss! Now what? Shouldn't we think about the way back? Fei Yun retreated from the front line of the battle and sat down in the protective circle, he grabbed the roasted truffle from his backpack and stuffed it into his mouth, hoping that this special food would quickly restore his body.
"The way back? Is there a way back now? Shall we retreat to town? Is that just dying late, running out of town? It is estimated that the death will be faster! Chen Kai also sat next to Fei Yun, because Zhao Tiezhu had already recovered his body and continued to fight in his place. His chain hammer swung and swept across the walls, knocking skeletons off the walls, but of course not many were actually killed and shattered.
"So what do we do? Just stay on the city wall all the time? Fei Yun's words were full of resentment, after all, they had been fighting for nearly two hours, and they had almost been killed by the skeleton soldiers several times. Although there are occasional gains in a long battle, and even sometimes the gains are very good, everyone knows that if they continue to fight like this, they will definitely die.
"We can only hold on! Now the only thing Mayor Ferosara can rely on is us adventurers and mercenaries, and if we escape, it is estimated that the entire guard of Paranon will collapse. Su Wan's voice came from the team channel, she was gritting her teeth and brandishing the dragon spear, constantly piercing the heads of one skeleton soldier after another. It's just that the long battle has made her tired to death, which makes her aim start to drop, and three out of ten attacks will pierce the air, two hits will pierce the hard skull, and only five times will pierce the skeleton's head, but it will not necessarily kill the opponent.
"Yes! We can only hold on! Xu Fei sighed and slowly pulled out his staff, and he staggered up. Although his body value was almost full at the moment, and his mana value was almost full, he was also extremely tired from the continuous casting of spells for a long time. Although the body in the game can make people physically active, it cannot replace the invisible energy consumption and fatigue.
It's just that when Xu Fei stood up completely and raised his head, the staff in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. His gaze stared blankly into the distance of the city wall, where a thin mist was slowly dissipating like melting snow and ice under the action of the sun.
"The fog has lifted!" This was the only sentence Xu Fei said after being stunned for a long time, and everyone knew what this sentence meant, because they had already seen what Xu Fei saw. Not only him, but also the mercenaries on the city walls saw it, and a terrible despair spread throughout the city of Paranon.
"It's really Anclo's unlucky players! Looking at the armor that is still completely on the skeletons, isn't this the Adriatic Mujahideen Knights' group of Islamacrazy believers! Fei Yun's mouth was relaxed, and with the help of the bright morning light, they could clearly see a neat team of skeleton knights slowly gathering in the distance. Although the armor on their bodies is extremely broken, and the weapons in their hands are scattered, they can still show the fanatical momentum of these skeleton knights before their deaths, as one of the most famous fanatic knights of Adriatic, the Knights of the Mujahideen grabbed the name of the holy warrior because of the earliest time of its establishment, and it is also the most famous knight order of the Adriatic. Of course, this fame is created by fighting with players, and every time you fight, you will never retreat, and you will never quit the battlefield if you don't die. Of course, what I see now is definitely the Dead Order of the Knights of the Mujahideen, because all the members of the regiment are skeleton soldiers, or some high-level skeleton cavalry among the skeleton soldiers.
"Yes! It's really a sea of skeletons like an ocean! Chen Kai slowly stuffed the last piece of truffle, and the value of his body was rising rapidly, but in the end, there was still no way to fully recover to a full state. But even so, Chen Kai still stood up slowly, not only the other resting mercenaries on his city wall all stood up with their bodies, because they had to use their ** to resist the terrifying army of the undead.
