Chapter 13: The Sand Riots
ps: Fix the typo in it.
'Is it a dehydration infection?' In other words, those 'salted mummies' have already sneaked around us! But judging by the clumsy actions of those guys, the only possibility is that they are sneaking through the mountains. Although the situation was sudden, Barrett was prepared for it. After he took a deep breath, Tong Te Ping let out a deafening roar: "Everyone, watch your feet, those damn mummies are hiding in the sand. ”
'Dehydration Infection' is a supernatural ability possessed by 'Salted Mummies'. Every time a 'salted mummy' comes into contact with a living creature, the victim needs to pass a guò toughness test, otherwise they will suffer as much damage as a scorching ray due to the evaporation of water from their body. This infection is particularly deadly to plants and aquatic organisms (e.g. water elementals), which will take even more staggering damage. Even if you rely on a strong body to pass the test, you will still take half of the damage.
That's why Barrett was always cautious when he practiced in the Oasis before. It's not because the abilities attached to the Salted Mummy are too laid-back. Except for the Holy Warriors and some other special professions that ignore diseases, whoever else is against this kind of immortal thing that sheds its skin will have to be coaxed!
A special flat vibration soundtrack, Barrett's words reverberated in the raging wind. At the same time, as the most important pillar of this operation, the female 'Fire Teller', who restrained the 'Sand Golem', was hiding behind an axeman, and the soft white light in her hand was constantly glowing as if she was healing herself.
Obviously, this wild beauty like a leopard was also the first target of their attack during that enemy surprise attack - who made her existence turn the most powerful defenses on the outskirts of the Church of the 'God of Tombs and Mummies' into a fragile glass figure!
Don't look at the 'Desert Walker's class system. The difficulty of making a 'salted mummy' is higher than that of a 'sand golem'. If you can actually combat power. Even if there is a strange 'dehydration infection' ability to help. The Salted Mummy' is also a few blocks away from the Sand Golem.
Just compared to 'salted mummies' that only require corpses, salt mines, and a few other raw materials. The control core, magic dust, and other raw materials required to make the 'sand golem' are very expensive. To put it bluntly, learning to make a 'sand golem' is only a means of making an expensive weapon of war, while a 'salted mummy' is a cheap consumable that can be used in real daily struggles - the difference between the two is like that of the 'Tiger King' and the 'T34-85' tank, as long as anyone with a big picture knows that the latter is the wise choice.
However, the number of 'salted mummies' that each 'desert walker' can overtake at the same time is limited after all, and these undead creatures have low intelligence, so once no one controls them, they can only rely on their instincts to do things. If it weren't for the fact that they could be transferred to other priests in the church using secret methods, these 'salted mummies' at the moment would not even have the ability to make a sneak attack.
For thousands of years, the Church of the 'God of Tombs and Mummies' has not thought of making improvements, but this kind of technical improvement is so easy. Even if the Divine Mansion wants to carry out such research, it will consume a lot of faith power, and for the 'God of Tombs and Mummies' after the spread of the foreign church, this kind of consumption that is not urgently needed can naturally be saved.
And a priest is not a mage after all. They have enjoyed the blessings of the Divine Mansion for a long time, and they are not even as good as the Druids in terms of research. This, combined with the scarcity of resources in this part of the 'Pamir' Desert, has also limited the progress of research to a certain extent. At least so far, there is no new technology that can be generalized and put into practical use.
On the contrary, the 'Sand Golem' not only has a certain intelligence, but also can constantly strengthen itself as it fights. Although each of the early education is expensive, for the church of the 'God of Tombs and Mummies', it is still possible to accumulate a certain amount - do not underestimate the heritage of any one church, even the declining existence of the 'God of Tombs and Mummies' church has an astonishing accumulation over the ages.
After losing the restraint of the 'fire teller', the 'Sand Golem', who got rid of the suffering of the 'glass body', once again exerted his might. A 'salted mummy' lying in ambush underground, an evil priest who doesn't know where to hide. There is also the 'Sand Golem' in front of him, whose size and strength are equally amazing. This made the battle that seemed to be smooth immediately fall into a very passive situation.
Barrett, who also felt something strange coming from the sand dunes under his feet, immediately raised his Mo knife. The force starts from the feet, and a masculine force is entangled through the dragon-like spine. It's like an iron whip made of tightly wrapped steel cables. When the momentum reached its peak, Barrett slammed into the sand where he felt the movement on the soles of his feet, as if he had opened the floodgates.
There was a loud bang, and layers of air waves were stirred up over the blade, and the sand and gravel that gushed out actually covered up the sandstorm set off by the 'Sand Golem' for a while. At the same time, the amethyst skeleton on the handle of the Mo knife emitted a light that was not easy to see. Immediately afterward, a foul-smelling corpse that smelled like salted fish was sprayed from the ground.
"Whoa—" After a roar, a half-body mummy struggled to crawl from the sand to Barrett. But just as Barrett was about to take this opportunity, he stabbed it, and the 'salted mummy' in front of him was just. Behind him, the massive spindle-like arm swung again. Faced with this situation, Barrett didn't look back at all, he stepped on the basic skills of listening to the wind and discerning the position, and then turned around and spun a sideways slide to avoid the menacing attack.
Then the harrier turned over and the action brought about the whirlwind, and Barrett's figure rotated two hundred and seventy degrees in the air. Immediately after holding the knife with both hands, "Brush!" Brush! Brush! "Three sword lights appeared in a row, this is Barrett's return to the sneak attack of the 'Sand Golem'. Unfortunately, without using the 'Mountain Break', Barrett couldn't completely ignore the damage reduction ability of the 'Sand Golem' - the waves of sand that seemed to be blown out by the blade, even if he didn't look at the number given by the system in the list, Barrett's experience alone could tell him that his own injuries were far from fatal.
But the 'Sand Golem' Barrett was a big mistake to do his best. Tong guò buffer during this time. 'Giant Mountain Break' in Barrett's martial arts list has once again completed 'Cooldown'. Barrett, who seized the opportunity, no longer gave the giant monster in front of him a chance to use 'Disintegration and Formation'. It was like a meteorite falling from the nine heavens. The collision with the 'Sand Golem' emitted a metallic friction. At the same time, a piece of spark flew up.
Under this violent collision and extremely high temperature, the desert gravel that made up the main body of the Sand Golem was further shattered, and in a matter of moments, it turned into decay. Even the magical energy circuits contained in those gravels collapsed under the effect of the 'Giant Mountain Break'. The huge 'Sand Golem's body suddenly had a large piece of flesh missing, as if it had been dug up. The core of the gem hidden in it was suddenly exposed to Barrett's eyes.
'Good opportunity! Barrett's eyes tapped at the head of the jewel that was constantly moving, and then he jumped up and turned around with the increased strength of the knife. "Bang-" The gem core worth at least 3,000-4,000 gold coins was torn apart under Barrett's blade.
And with the destruction of the core of the shape and jewel, the originally majestic 'Sand Golem' in front of him has lost its meaning of existence. Suddenly, its originally red ruby eyes immediately dimmed, and then the originally condensed sand collapsed in an instant, as if it had lost all its support.
The Church of the Mausoleum and the God of Mummies has spent a lot of money and years of training to produce the elite 'Sand Golem' that it has today. After the previous demonic fire scorching and knocking. Finally fell under Barrett's blade. A flurry of experiences jumps across Barrett's character panel, not only the first 'Sand Golem' Barrett has dealt with, but also the first 'Sand Golem' to fall on the battlefield.
However, for Barrett, who had solved the great enemy in front of him, he did not have time to put any joy on his face. It's not just because of the current battle situation, it's not because Barrett is in the hands alone. What's more, the magic casters hiding in the sandstorm in the distance also noticed Barrett's huge threat.
You must know that these 'Sand Golems' guarding the Church of the Mausoleum and the God of Mummies are truly masterpieces. Not only are they expensive resources, but they also need to be killed again and again. It can be said that each one is a precious treasure of the Church of the 'God of Tombs and Mummies'.
So when they saw the 'Sand Golem' crumbling under Barrett's blade, the burning anger in their eyes wanted to burn Barrett through. This kind of attention is even more important than the previous 'fire teller' who made all the 'sand giants' fall into the 'glass body' - who made that lady not really solve any 'sand golem'!
As the saying goes, since Barrett has completed a task that is difficult for ordinary people to complete, he will naturally receive a courtesy that ordinary people can hardly bear. Moments later, scorching rays, eerie scimitars, silent strangulations, and sinister curses all poured toward Barrett.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Several rays fell into the air, and the rest passed through Barrett's body out of thin air, leaving scorched black glazed marks on the ground. Immediately afterward, the strange psionic scimitar vanished out of thin air in front of Barrett. Even the silent strangulation passed by Barrett gently.
Only the sinister curse was lucky enough to trigger Barrett's 'spiritual barrier'. Unfortunately, the enemy's curse is like throwing pebbles at the buffer gel. Although there was a small ripple in the spiritual ocean, it was soon restored to calm under the influence of the 'perfect spirit'.
However, this series of blows also made Barrett scrambled to deal with it. directly influenced Barrett's actions. This made Barrett, who originally wanted to help others, retreat again and again, and was almost caught by the 'salted mummy' that suddenly came out of the sand behind him. Barrett, who is concerned about the vicious ability of 'dehydration infection', scolded in his mind beyond those spellcasters who concentrated on their own fire: "You guys who hide their heads and tails know how to bully me, a big soldier who has not yet advanced to the rank of hematite. If you have the ability, why don't you deal with the holy warriors over there! ’
Barrett, who roared like this, seemed to be deliberately ignoring the reality of the situation. Not to mention the holy warriors of the red iron rank, even the eldest sister of the 'fire teller' of the black lead rank behind her suffered a small loss under the concentrated attack of those casters of the 'God of Tombs and Mummies' church. Now I have to use magic to heal my injuries and remove that damn negative status on my body.
And among the group of casters of the Church of the Tomb and the Mummy, who hide in the sea of sand, the overwhelming scolding is even more staggering. It's just that they use an internal magic network, and they don't need to speak directly to be able to communicate like a text message.
"Damn! That big man actually has super spell resistance, and my 'Fang Oaks Grab' failed. ”
"How can you pass through, how can you pass through! How could my rays pass through that giant man's body? Is it my eyes? ”
"It's obviously hit, how can it not work! Aren't the spiritual immunity of those muscular heads not high? How can this be......"
After a series of scolding, someone also discovered Barrett's special situation: "That guy seems to be flickering, you say that there is no blessing 'flash technique'!" ”
"It's very likely, I thought it was the impact of a sandstorm! I didn't expect it to be like this, no wonder those rays keep passing through......"
"Who has the power of field spells! It's still the most effective way to deal with the 'flash'......"
"We're priests and not mages, so how can we get the force field spell! If you don't have a 'dimensional anchor' to try, just freeze that guy and don't let him travel back and forth between the main plane and the etheric plane. to be able to solve the problem at the root of the ......"
"I said it might as well use the 'Dismantle' directly!" Dimensional Anchor's got to hit that bastard! Which of you is sure ......"
At the time of the discussion of these low-ranking priests of the Church of the 'God of Tombs and Mummies'. A priest of the Red Iron rank who heard their words suddenly burst out of the sand, and after running a few steps towards Barrett, made a movement that almost seemed like a punch to him. (To be continued......)
