Chapter 12 Zombie Coal Mine
The four of them gradually developed a blind trust in Xiao Yu, and no one would think that what he said was wrong. Since there are coal mines, it may be possible to find some coarse coal, which can completely give some light to the dark and cold underground caves. The air circulation in the underground karst cave is not good, if you choose to burn firewood, it is bound to produce smoke and some gases, which is very easy to interfere with the air quality, and even produces danger over time.
The trees became more and more sparse, and when I turned a large tree, my vision suddenly opened up, an open grassland area, surrounded by small black coal mounds, and an old mine hole on a low hill in the middle. I don't know how many years the mine has been abandoned, and the wood at the entrance is rotten, mossy and crumbling.
That's not the point, but the most eye-catching thing is the dozens of wandering figures in front of the mine.
Wang Chaoha laughed strangely: "How can there be people here!" ”
In fact, idiots can tell that the wandering figures are not people at all. They were shirtless, unkempt, covered with signs of decay and festering, with maggots in their flesh, their eyes rolled, their expressions sluggish, their mouths full of fangs, their limbs very stiff, they walked very slowly, and occasionally let out a long howl like a beast, which looked hideous and terrifying. It looks a little like a human, but the ears are long and belong to another species.
Xiao Yu explained: "This is a rotten zombie, an undead monster. Similar to the Dry Bone Skeleton, the Rotten Zombie is the lowest level of the Zombie Clan, but the Zombie Clan is higher than the Skeleton Clan, so the Rotten Zombie is much more powerful than the Dry Bone Skeleton. They are slightly stronger than goblin slaves, mainly in terms of strength, and their bodies are very hard and not easy to kill, but speed is their biggest and most fatal weakness. ”
"Why are there some different zombies in there?"
Jiang Xiaowen found that among the dozen or so rotten zombies, there were some alternative zombies, which were similar to the appearance of rotten zombies, but they moved much faster, and they still held a pickaxe for digging the ground or a large shovel for shoveling coal.
"These zombie miners are far superior to rotten zombies, and I came here with shovels and pickaxes in their hands. However, they are beginner-level monsters, and their bodies are as hard as iron, and with your current strength, even if you stand and let you fight, I am afraid it will be difficult to kill them. But these zombies, I'm going to deal with them. As for the rotting zombies, it doesn't make sense to me anymore, so it's up to you to kill them. Work in pairs, it's safer, zombies have corpse poison on their bodies, and if they are scratched, they may be infected, so be careful. ”
Wang Chao shrunk his neck and asked, "Will being infected with corpse poison turn into a zombie?" ”
"Dead fat, let you watch less zombie movies." Xiao Yu shook his head and continued: "Corpse poison will not make people turn into zombies, but it is very dangerous, and if you don't get it right, you will rot and die. ”
Jin Shi couldn't wait, "I've finally met a monster that can make people stronger!" ”
"No more nonsense." Xiao Yu took out the Dry Bone Blade, "Let's go up, low-level zombies have low intelligence and low alertness, only when they get close will they notice us, don't provoke too much at once." ”
Xiao Yu was the first to rush over, this area was very vast, the size of several football fields, and it was easy to avoid the roaming rotting zombies in the front row. Lock on to a zombie miner holding a rusty shovel and slash at it with a slash on the face.
The zombie miner is a beginner monster, and its speed is slower among the beginner monsters, but its body is as hard as steel, and its strength is infinite, and the shovel is waved in its hand, which is simply a super murder weapon that sharpens iron like mud. But Xiao Yu opened the eye of insight, and the zombie miner's movements were very stiff, which could be described as full of flaws, meaningless in his eyes, and he couldn't reach a threat at all.
Although the attack was not a threat, it was still very difficult to deal with, and after more than ten minutes of fighting, more than a dozen knives in a row, Xiao Yu finally cut off the head of the zombie miner, and obtained slightly more essence than the goblin warrior. Then, with a lot of effort, he reluctantly ripped the rusty shovel from the zombie miner's hand, put it into the ring, released the Eye of Insight, stopped to rest, and looked back at the others.
The four of them have begun to kill rotten zombies, Han Kexin and Jiang Xiaowen are in a group, the two charming beauties cooperate very tacitly, after attracting the attention of a rotten zombie, Jiang Xiaowen forcibly overcame the fear in her heart, closed her eyes and stabbed into the body of the zombie with a short spear, the zombie body was hard, the short spear could not pierce it, but it resisted it and stopped the advance, and the zombie waved her arms but could not deal with it. Jiang Xiaowen had killed four goblin slaves, and her strength was already not small, barely holding on for a moment, Han Kexin took the opportunity to use the goblin wooden stick to smash the head of the rotting zombie.
After smashing a few times, the head of the rotten zombie broke and flowed, and finally broke free, the two hurriedly ran out of a distance, and after adjusting, Jiang Xiaowen once again held a short spear to go up, and Han Kexin smashed it with a wooden stick again, so that the head of the rotten zombie was finally smashed several times.
The two people swapped each other, Han Kexin used a short spear to resist a zombie, Jiang Xiaowen swung the wooden stick and smashed it hard, and successfully changed it back, one pierced the wooden spear into the zombie's body, restricting movement, and the other smashed the zombie's head. In this way, one person topped, one person smashed, and two people successfully hunted many zombies.
On the contrary, it was Wang Chao and Jin Shi, two stupid people, who picked up the wooden stick and rushed towards the zombies with a big grin, smashing their heads and covering their faces, and were often chased and beaten by zombies, if it weren't for the zombies who couldn't run them, these two would have been finished a long time ago, and the result was very embarrassing, and the efficiency was not as good as the two girls.
"What two pig brains!"
Xiao Yu wanted to remind the two, but he didn't dare to say it out loud here, for fear of attracting all the zombies nearby, so he had to continue to attack the other miner with a pickaxe. Xiao Yu's skillful combat experience, combined with his sharp "Eye of Insight", was almost invincible, killing five or six zombie miners in less than an hour, but the other party didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
In a short time, four shovels and two pickaxes were harvested, and with these tools, it was much easier for everyone to set up traps. There were no zombie miners outside, so Xiao Yu had no choice but to enter the mine to continue hunting.
The coal mine was crumbling, the cavern was pitch black, and every now and then there was a terrifying roar, the characteristic cry of zombies. The interior of the mine is relatively dry, and the mine is very deep, but no one knows how deep it is.
According to the memories of the previous life, there are a large number of beginner-level zombie miners in the mine, and there is also a kind of iron rope zombie that is also a beginner, but the strength is more powerful than the zombie miners, and it is said that there is a terrible poisonous zombie in the depths, it is a first-order monster, as for whether the mine has reached the end, whether there are other fierce monsters in it, Xiao Yu has no way of knowing. Because the eight beginner masters who challenged the poisonous zombies in their previous lives all died, seven died below, and one of the deep poisonous escaped and died within a few days.
These eight were the strongest in the team at the time.
At that time, Xiao Yu, who had survived for three weeks, still had his strength at the zero level, and he was neither strong nor weak in the team at that time, so it could be said that he was inconspicuous. Even before he left the forest more than three months later, his strength was at most at the level of second-rate masters, and nothing changed much, and only then did he begin to make a splash and gain a foothold in the ranks of top masters several times. Even after a few years, he gradually broke away from the top of the pyramid, but he was still a first-class master.
There are many geniuses who are often ordinary in the beginning, and quietly fall before they shine.
Hours passed.
A roar echoed through the mine, hoarse and piercing.
"Whew!"
A hideous zombie with an iron blue body and iron chains rushed up, roaring incessantly, and the thick iron chains on its body kept colliding with the ground and the surrounding walls in the process of rapid advancement, and the crisp sound of ping-pong echoed in the deep mine. It danced its arms wildly, attacking wildly with the two chains on its left and right, whipping it all the time.
Xiao Yu dodged left and right, waving his knife with both hands like the wind, constantly splitting the swept chains.
The blades collided wildly with the chains, and the sparks were dazzling in the dark cavern.
Bite!
Xiao Yu grabbed a flaw and slashed hard at the chain around the neck of the chained zombie, leaving a huge gap in the chain.
The Chain Zombie howled angrily and swung it again, and the chain swing was so powerful that it was enough to knock down a buffalo.
With the help of the Eye of Insight, Xiao Yu easily dodged every attack of the chains, and every time the thick chains landed, the ground shook, and Xiao Yu slashed the neck of the rope zombie several times in succession, and finally cut off the chains. After a short entanglement, he grabbed a flaw again, kicked his legs to the ground, and jumped up like a cheetah, and the brilliant sword flashed in the air.
"Bang!"
Xiao Yu landed on his feet, his chest heaved and heaved, and he gasped slightly. At this time, he suddenly felt a strong feeling of dizziness, and the blood-red of his eyes gradually faded and turned back to normal pitch black. It's the fourth time, and after using the Eye of Insight for a long time, the consumption of physical and mental power is huge, and even Xiao Yu is close to the limit of his body.
The chained zombie stood motionless, a blood mark appeared on its neck, black thick blood gushed out, and the head detached from the neck, falling backwards and falling to the ground, and then the headless body tied to the chain slowly fell.
Xiao Yu turned his head, wiped his sweat, and muttered to himself: "Plus the seven goblin warriors I killed yesterday, I have already hit more than forty beginner-level monsters in a row, and I can cut off the heads of zombies with one sword, which is almost at the level of the late beginner-level, and the strength should be about three times that of the warriors who have just stepped into the beginner-level." ”
Xiao Yu roughly calculated his strength, and glanced back at the Iron Rope Zombie, "I didn't expect that after being reborn in the first life, with the assistance of experience, combat skills and the Eye of Insight, the strength can actually improve so quickly!" ”
Go forward and rip off the chains on the rope zombie and put it into the ring, the ring space is already full. At this moment, it was not early, and as it went deeper and deeper, Xiao Yu gradually felt uneasy in his heart.
He had a hunch that he was going inside, and it wouldn't be long before he ran into that poisonous zombie. There should still be a lot of beginner-level zombies in the mine, but Xiao Yu didn't want to kill them all at once, so he decided to stay, and when his strength grew enough not to be afraid of poisonous zombies, he came back, and these remaining beginner-level zombies could be reserved for others to advance.
Xiao Yu took a few deep breaths, turned around and walked back, and walked out of the mine, he was surprised to find that the rotting zombies outside had been cleaned up. Jin Shi and Wang Chao were finally smarter, and learned experience from Han Kexin and Jiang Xiaowen to kill zombies.
"How's it going for you, how many rotting zombies have you killed?"
Han Kexin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I killed ten, Xiaowen killed nine!" ”
Wang Chao and the others looked depressed, "We killed seven of them each." They were very depressed, and they were actually caught up by Jiang Xiaowen's girl.
Han Kexin replied with a smile: "This is all Xiaowen's method, otherwise we wouldn't be so efficient." ”
Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Xiaowen with some surprise and said, "You came up with that method of hunting zombies?" ”
Jiang Xiaowen was panting tiredly, but proudly puffed up her bulging chest and said, "Yes, it's me!" ”
"At this pace, you'll be able to advance in a day or two." Xiao Yu glanced up at the sky and said to the others: "Today is over, there are not many rotten zombies left here, not to mention that after fighting for so long, everyone should be hungry." Let's go find something to eat first, and I'm going back to the cave to hand over the harvest to everyone, and with these tools, we can do more. ”
Wang Chao and Jin Shi used the prepared backpacks to fill several large backpacks with coal, and the four of them began to return according to the same route.
Jiang Xiaowen's mood has changed dramatically compared to yesterday, and she often takes the initiative to joke with a few people along the way. She is the flower of the Department of Fine Arts, and she is the school flower of the entire Academy of Fine Arts.
The woods are very quiet, the lush foliage shades the sun, it looks a little dark, the ground is covered with a layer of rotten leaves, many roots are exposed to the ground, coiled and entangled with each other, and there is moss growing on it, it is very slippery and you will fall if you are not careful, and you need to be careful to look at your feet when walking.
"Wait!" Xiao Yu suddenly shouted, "There seems to be a situation." ”
Several people were startled, but at the same time stopped, clenched the weapons in their hands, and assumed a posture ready to fight, vigilantly surrounding.
Xiao Yu quickly ran to the bottom of a big tree in front of him, there was a large pile of dung under the tree, exuding a very pungent smell, and frowned and said, "Ogre's dung? It's still relatively fresh, and it shouldn't stay for a long time. Could it be ...... There's an ogre living nearby, and if that's the case, we're in big trouble! ”
Xiao Yu roughly discerned the direction of the ogre's face from the shape of the feces, and took a few steps in that direction, and sure enough, he found a huge paw print on the ground, which was twice as large as a human. Roughly comparing the size of the soles of his feet, the depth of the footprints, and the average span between the two footprints, he made a judgment: "Damn it, it's actually an adult ogre warrior." ”
