Chapter 81: Corpse Tide
When the door opened, a dark blue greeted the eyes, and the whole city was lifeless, and everywhere you could see mummy-like rotting corpses, with atrophied muscles and gray skin, and only two hollows left in the eyes, apparently dead for a long time, but *not completely decomposed. This adds an eerie touch to the city.
"Okay...... We're in, what's next? Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Find a way to get out?" It seems unlikely, so I'm sure I'll have to clear it first. ”
"Who knows, let's move forward anyway." Gu Qinyan snorted and took the lead and walked forward.
Xia Chiyu looked around and followed absentmindedly.
Scenario campaigns are actually no different from dungeons, and can be seen as one-time dungeons, but they are far more difficult than dungeons. Although beating the scenario campaign can bring permanent changes to the current region, the difficulty of the scenario campaign at this level is prohibitive for many players.
For example, the city of the dead, this scene battle has actually been brushed out for a long time, and many players have stumbled in, but it is still haunted in this map, and the reason is because ......
"I've heard that the players who entered the City of the Dead all died in the end, so this place hasn't been cleared yet." Xia Chiyu kicked the corpse blocking the way in front of him and said, making sure that the corpse would not suddenly get up, he walked around from the side.
However, Gu Qinyan suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him at this moment. Xia Chiyu followed his direction and found the city hall and the fountain in front of the door, which had naturally dried up due to disrepair and looked dilapidated.
"Oh? That's ......" Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows, and there was actually a group of players parked next to the fountain!
Another difference between a scenario campaign and a quest is that it is a common area that players can access at any time. There were seven players, three women and four men, mostly foreigners, and two Asian men, who were gathered around the fountain to discuss something, looking uneasy.
"Let's go, you don't want to be a good person, do you?" Gu Qinyan snorted coldly, and prepared to bypass. Xia Chiyu also understood what he meant, although the scene battle is a shared area, the monster attributes and blood volume in it are still determined by the number of players entering the battle, and the large number of people will only increase the monster attributes and blood volume, and the possibility of players becoming a laggard is also greater.
"Of course not." Xia Chiyu said, and walked around the alley with Gu Qinyan.
After taking two steps, there was a sudden crisp sound from under Gu Qinyan's feet, and a skull that had sunk under the street floor was crushed by him. The two didn't care and planned to move on, but at this time, a withered hand suddenly stretched out from the ground and grabbed Gu Qinyan's leg.
Gu Qinyan reacted very quickly, immediately swung his sword to cut off the withered hand, and then rushed forward, intending to get out of the area, but it was too late, small mounds of earth had already risen from their side, and then the dust dispersed, and a dozen zombie-like mummies staggered and pounced on them in a strange posture.
Although their legs didn't seem to be able to support their bodies, and they staggered as if they were about to fall down at any time, their speed was not slow, and they pounced on Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan almost in the blink of an eye after appearing.
"These guys ......" Xia Chiyu stretched out the spiritual force field, and a transparent shock wave spread, instantly shattering all the zombies around him, turning into green slime and scattering everywhere, Gu Qinyan also put on a posture of drawing his sword, several sword lights flashed from him, and the zombies around him were also cut into pieces and scattered all over the ground.
However, their battle seemed to wake up the city, and the rotting corpses, whether lying on the edge of the window, lying on the side of the road, or sitting at the table, were now moving. The movement of these carrion corpses was not fast, seeing this, Xia Chiyu raised his hand and released the wind movement technique to the two of them, and accelerated forward.
After advancing for a while, in the street ahead, a tide of corpses could be seen slowly moving towards them in the distance.
Seeing this, Gu Qinyan turned to the right corner in front of him, but as soon as the corner appeared in front of him, a zombie pounced on him, grabbed Gu Qinyan and bit his arm, Gu Qinyan's right hand was bitten, it was inconvenient to swing the sword, and he couldn't entangle for a while, and he saw that he was about to be overwhelmed by the zombies that came up from behind.
"Wind Cutting!" Xia Chiyu waved his staff, and a scythe flew diagonally towards Gu Qinyan, just grazing Gu Qinyan's head and shoulders, hitting the zombies that bit his arm and surged up from behind. But these carrion corpses were not as fragile as the previous ones, and they were almost cut in half when they were struck by the spell, but they were still able to move.
"Left!" Xia Chiyu shouted, Gu Qinyan broke free and followed behind him, the tide of corpses in front of him had already surged in front of him, but the two of them finally came to the left corner in time, but a bare wall blocked the end of the alley in front.
"It's a dead end!? No way! Xia Chiyu scolded, and hurriedly retreated with Gu Qinyan, but the corpse tide had blocked the retreat in the rear. Xia Chiyu then looked up and said, "Let's go, fly to the roof!" ”
"Are you sure? This kind of dungeon usually restricts flight, right? Gu Qinyan said, swinging his sword and slashing horizontally to create a sword qi and then quickly slashed down, the two sword qi formed a cross and exploded, shaking back the zombies that rushed in front of them. But despite the fact that their bodies were blurred and mutilated, these zombies were still stubbornly crawling towards them.
"Let's try it, just fly to the roof." Xia Chiyu said, using the Wind Walking Technique to fly.
He had barely reached the ground for less than two meters when a sharp crow sound sounded in mid-air, and some crows that had almost turned into white bones swooped down. Xia Chiyu immediately raised his staff and threw out a large fireball, and the flames exploded to form a curtain of fire, temporarily blocking the crow's advance, and Xia Chiyu also landed on the roof of a residential building on the side.
Gu Qinyan immediately landed beside him, pulled out his iron sword and swung it down: "Falling Star Slash!" ”
Dense sword qi staggered down from mid-air, cutting down all the crows that rushed towards them, but the zombies still climbed up from the first floor and chased after them.
Although they didn't get rid of the zombies, and the crows in the sky were still stubborn, they had finally escaped from the surrounded situation. Xia Chiyu jumped from the roof of the building before the number of crows increased to the point where it was uncontrollable.
"Only the road leading to the council hall is free of zombies, and it seems that there is no choice." Xia Chiyu said, and returned the same way as Gu Qinyan, but when he ran to the previous intersection, he understood why there were no zombies on this road.
About a hundred zombies were densely packed around the fountain at the entrance of the council hall, and the group of players they had seen by the fountain before were now surrounded in the middle, fighting hard.
"......" Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan were silent for a while, and then Xia Chiyu asked, "What now?" Pretend not to see? ”
Now the zombies are attracted by these seven players, and they can just slip past them, at most they will only attract a few small zombies, but ...... After hesitating for a moment, Gu Qin let out an unhappy "tsk" and raised his left hand: "Two instruments and four elephants!" ”
"Okay, don't be tsk-tsk, it's not like you're a ** who stepped on a trap to cause people to be surrounded." Xia Chiyu didn't have a good airway, and raised his staff and knocked on the ground: "Purgatory!" ”
Three pillars of fire rose from among the zombies, and then began to stir in the tide of corpses, and finally exploded as one. However, although the spell effect is very powerful, the actual damage is not satisfactory, and those zombies are not afraid of fire, even if they are on fire, they still do not give up on the seven players in the middle.
Some of the zombies were attracted by him and Gu Qinyan, and turned their heads to surround them, plus the explosion caused by Xia Chiyu's spell just now blew away a lot of zombies, which finally opened a gap in the corpse tide, but it was not enough for the seven people to break through.
"Break the army!" Gu Qinyan put on a stabbing posture and pounced forward, the white fighting qi turned into a wild dragon, roaring and rushing towards the corpse tide in front of him. "Bang!" The sound of slashing sounded, and pieces of body fragments scattered in all directions.
After this spurt stopped, Gu Qinyan paused slightly, then raised his left hand to cut the iron sword, turned his head and broke the army again: "Long Hui!" ”
Xia Chiyu's spell and Gu Qinyan's two dragon rounds, the seven surrounded players finally rushed out with a skill greeting after Gu Qinyan's gap.
"No, these zombies have too much blood." Xia Chiyu looked at the body fragments of those zombies still reluctantly catching up, and frowned: "I think the setting of these things is to force players to take refuge, not to defeat them." ”
"Anyway, let's retreat first, this place will be surrounded too." Gu Qinyan looked at the zombies chasing him and Xia Chiyu who were surrounding him from the rear and said, the seven people answered, and everyone had a skill, and the magic sword light flew around, opening a gap in the corpse tide on the right, and marched forward against the side of the city wall.
But the zombies are still rushing out of the back and the fork in the front, endlessly.
"Xuanwu Protection!" Xia Chiyu raised his staff and pointed it behind him, and a Xuanwu statue instantly rose from under the ground to block the way, and then raised his sword to cut a zombie that rushed out of the side road into two ends, and rushed forward: "Hurry up!" ”
Seeing this, everyone followed suit, forcing the zombies that rushed out of the fork in the road back, and then rushed forward, at this time the wail sounded from a distant place, and then a black shadow fell from the sky, woke up and sat in front of them, screaming miserably.
"Oh, the big ass is cracked." Xia Chiyu was stunned and said, everyone was also stunned on the spot, but the zombies that kept rushing out from the fork reminded them that now was not the time to complain, so Xia Chiyu picked up the awakening, "Let's go!" ”
