Chapter 29: You're Late

It's finally level 5, and now is the time when strength is needed, and every upgrade is a big improvement for Li Xun. Increasing the free attribute point to the spirit and increasing it to 3 points, with the increase of Asha's tears, Li Xun can already carry 30 subordinates.

The skill choices that appear are: Understanding, Basic Offense, and Basic Leadership.

Li Xun directly clicked on the understanding, after all, it is an increase of 50% of the mana, which is worth it. Now with the increase in understanding, Li Xun's mana has reached 135 points, which is enough for him to release more than 20 level 2 spells in a row.

Through this battle, the advantage of abomination can already be seen, and in the case that the other party does not have a stitching monster to contend with, it is simply a zombie sweeper. In order to facilitate the passage through the Aveli Mountains, the necromancers only chose vampires and ghosts, and there was no qualified meat shield to block the gun hole, so they had no time and space to cast spells safely. If in the battle just now, the necromancer can stabilize the battlefield, and then send 5 vampires to besiege Li Xun, Li Xun can only withdraw Skeletron and Abomination to protect himself, the battlefield is so wonderful, one loophole can not be filled will lead to the creation of a second loophole, and eventually lead to a complete tilt of the battle.

But you still have to be careful of that high-level mage, who knows what kind of undead creatures he will carry on him, it must be much stronger than these low-level necromancers, if he resists Li Xun's mad dog tactics, Li Xun doesn't know if he can escape when he runs out of mana! It seems that it is best to deal with the other party after being promoted to level 6, when he has a level 3 class, it should be much better than now.

There are obviously not many loot this time, and the result of being bombarded by Li Xun's spell is that most of the equipment and items are damaged, and only high-quality magic items can be preserved.

Looking at the purple Ayn Stone in his hand, Li Xun was a little excited.

At least this kind of powerful auxiliary treasure has only been seen on the high-level mage Jose Tiku, and it is difficult for other mid- and low-level mages to have, so I can't imagine that I actually got it from the necromancer today, could it be that some of the two necromancers I killed just now were students of the high-level mage?

Whatever! The treasure in his own hand is his own, and no one wants to leave.

Li Xun didn't say a word, and probed his spiritual power into the Aeon Stone, leaving his soul imprint, and immediately understood the effect of this purple Aen Stone.

With the injection of spiritual power, a transparent shield that is almost invisible to the naked eye is generated around Li Xun, and the mana absorbs the shield!

Oh my God, it's actually a mana absorption shield, although the level is not high, but at least it can absorb a certain amount of spell attack energy according to the mana provided by the mage.

It seems that the necromancer died very unjustly, and when he encountered Li Xun with full instantaneous attacks and the cemetery class with full physical attack, he didn't play the true effect of this gem at all.

Releasing the gem, as if pulled by some force, the purple Ayn stone floated slowly above Li Xun's head, hovering along a mysterious track.

After playing for a while, Li Xun reluctantly put the gem into the dimensional bag. cough, don't show your money, let's wait for the battle to take it out and use it temporarily!

After cleaning up the battlefield, there were only 11 lickers left in Li Xun's soul space, and it seemed that it was time to go back once.

Coming out of the void passage, he summoned the defensive hero butcher and learned about the current situation. The main abomination and licker of Eternal Night City is still slowly increasing, the reserve of soul crystals has exceeded 750, and the surrounding area is also very calm, and there is no human activity in sight.

Li Xun, who was relieved, adjusted his direct team, Skeletron +4 Abomination +25 Licker. The role of abomination is too obvious, fighting group fights or positional warfare, that is, tanks + bulldozers, which are the main force of the current attack. Although Skeletron is a power hero and has his own special skills, after all, it is only level 3, and Li Xun is reluctant to let it rush to the front line. This is the real world, there is no health bar, no life potion, and if you are set on fire by the enemy, you will really die, and you still have to protect them until the Hero Altar is built.

This time it cost another 50 soul crystals to teleport back, and it seems that as the level increases, the consumption of soul crystals also increases, and the plan of repeatedly teleporting to fight a war of attrition seems unrealistic!

After replenishing 200 soul crystals on his body, the inventory of Eternal Night City dropped to 680.

After instructing the butcher to pay attention to the perimeter security as usual, Li Xun returned to the teleportation point with sufficient supplies.

After finding a suitable cave, Skeletron set up the guard and began to prepare a bonfire to barbecue food, Li Xun took out the communication crystal and began to contact the mages stationed in the large army, reporting only that he had encountered and eliminated a small number of undead, the approximate location and time of the battle, and then asked about the situation of going out to search for mages.

After Li Xun put away the communication crystal, Skeletron handed over the grilled meat steak, and asked suspiciously: "Master, you still don't plan to tell them about the corpse puppet?"

Li Xun smiled bitterly: "Of course I wanted to tell them that there was a corpse puppet earlier, but what is the reason?

Skeletron let out a strange "cough-cough" laugh and explained, "That's good, too! Since the necromancer has bothered to plant corpse puppets in humans, it seems that he wants to play a big game and yin them. It's really good that we're out there, and if we can take advantage of it, we'll flash people when there's danger!

Li Xun hatefully bit the meat chop, and said in a muffled voice: "What you said is right, it's up to you to hide outside and want to fight, but don't forget, we still have a task to capture the complete soul of a high-level mage! To complete this task, we must do two things: first, we must force both sides to fight to the death; second, we must collect the complete soul within 10 minutes of the death of the high-level mage, otherwise the soul will naturally dissipate." If we blindly wander around the periphery, how can we catch the spoils of war in time? It seems that we are destined to take the initiative in the place where the battle is most intense!"

Skeletron shrugged, and said helplessly, "Why don't you want to let them fight fiercely, but in the end, let that high-level necromancer run away, and we will intercept and kill on the periphery?"

Li Xun was speechless: "The difficulty is too high! The difficulty is too high! Not only do they have to fight with each other, but also ensure that the high-level necromancer escapes, and we can't let it leave too much combat power, how can we guarantee it on the periphery?

Rutheran Village.

The village still did not sleep in the deep night.

There are patrols inside and outside the wooden fence on the periphery, and there are also people on the wall, the firelight is shaking, and from time to time there is a simple answer to the whispered password.

Hans moved slowly along the shadows behind the house, avoiding the patrol's path and sneaking towards the most dilapidated hut at the edge of the village.

It was a simple hut where the village servants lived, and with the arrival of the mages and knights, the villagers of Russelan were driven out of the barracks outside the village, leaving behind young women who had been specially selected to serve as maids and cooks.

Hans stood in the shadows behind the hut for a moment, when the shadows around him suddenly writhed silently, and a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his head.

"You're too late!"

Hans's body shook violently, and he gradually calmed down, and began to communicate with the other party in his mind.

"There are a lot of people in the village, and there are many mages, so you are not afraid of being noticed when you call me?"

The distorted shadow was completely invisible, and it swirled around Hans, "You don't have to worry, my body is not an undead creature, and their necromantic detection spells are useless to me. What information have you gathered in the past few days, and what are they going to do?"

Hans said dejectedly: "You promised that as long as I provide you with information, you will remove the "seed" on my body, when will it be fulfilled?"

"Don't worry, little one, as long as the information you say can help us eliminate this pesky army, we will take back the "seed" before we do, and we can make you a great merit. Don't you believe in the oath that Lord Naira made to the god of death?"

After some coercion and temptation, Hans told everything he knew, including the approximate locations of several foreign mages.

After a long silence, the shadow creature handed Hans a small cloth bag and told him to sprinkle the contents into the mage's diet within two days.

Watching the shadow creature slowly disappear, Hans hesitated for a long time with the cloth bag in his arms, sighed and quietly returned to his lodgings.
