Chapter 312: The situation deteriorated
The situation was indeed much more serious than expected, and the team clearly felt that the temperature around them was starting to plummet after entering the ghostly fog range, but this was really just an illusion. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The reason for the cold is the soul's perception of the negative aura, not the skin's perception of the ambient temperature, so it is useless to wear more. But God bless them are all monks, and they are much stronger than ordinary people in this aspect, although they can feel the cold, they will not have any real effect.
It's easy to get disoriented when you move in the ghost fog, and you have to watch out for the undead that may appear at any time, and God You can't use a rope to put everyone on to prevent getting lost, so you have to choose to let the team get as close together as possible. Fortunately, the group has already cooperated once before, and Tianyou has established enough prestige in the action, so it has performed well in team cooperation.
The group carefully maintained a compact formation and let the crotch spirit rider trot forward, because he could not see the situation in the distance clearly, Tianyou had to suppress the speed of the team so as not to crash headlong into the encirclement of the large group of undead. But in fact, until the team entered the range of Xinghuang Village, they didn't encounter any decent group of undead, of course, skeletons and zombies were encountered, but they were all lonely individuals, and they didn't have the slightest impact on everyone.
"It seems that we were lucky not to run into a large horde of undead. When he arrived at the entrance of Xinghuang Village, a senior brother said relaxedly.
However, Tianyou frowned and said, "No, our luck is very bad. ”
The whole team looked at Tianyou in surprise, only Bai Bingyu and that senior brother Qu Tong had thoughtful expressions.
"Didn't we arrive at Xinghuang Village without any problems?
Tianyou explained: "All corpses within the range of the spread of the ghost fog that have not disappeared or whose breath has not been extinguished will be transformed into undead. This ghost fog spreads so widely, it stands to reason that there should be a large number of undead. We are all monks, and we are better than ordinary people's yang energy, so we should attract all the undead in a certain range around us. But now? We didn't see anything but three or five zombies and two broken animal skeletons. ”
"But what does that mean?" someone asked.
Qu Tong replied instead of Tianyou: "It means that there are high-level undead here, and they are at least 70-level and above magic undead. ”
The low-level undead, who were infected by the negative aura in the ghost mist, did not actually have any intelligence, so they were generally slow and irrational, and their judgment was not even as good as that of ordinary beasts. As a result of this trait, low-level undead usually wander around unconsciously in areas with heavy yin energy, and their only few stress responses are to hunt down living beings and avoid hazards such as sunlight. Therefore, if there are low-level undead here, they should be evenly distributed throughout the ghost fog area, and the density should be quite even.
However, this is clearly not the case now. God forbid them that they haven't met a few undead along the way, which doesn't mean that there are no undead, because that's almost impossible. The only explanation is that the undead were taken away by something, or that they were centralized by some kind of command and control.
Before God bless them, there was a large advance team that came over, and God bless them came to chase them. So it's possible that the undead were led away by the advance party. But the likelihood of this is very low, because God bless them didn't find any bones along the way. It's not surprising that pure ghost-like undead will disappear when killed, but what about skeletons and zombies? High-level spells may turn these low-level undead into dust, but even the mana of the immortals is not much to the point of making a big move, right? So where are the corpses that were killed by ordinary spells?
Therefore, these undead should not have been led away, but gathered together by the command of some higher level undead. Of course, theoretically, the Xianmen monks will also control zombies, skeletons and even soul bodies, but the number they can control is usually not too much, and it is impossible to get rid of all the undead in such a large area. So, the only plausible explanation is that there are high-level undead here.
A team of strangers who don't know each other or an army of equal numbers of forbidden people is undoubtedly more combative. The scattered low-level undead will only rush forward in a swarm when they see the living beings, which is very troublesome for ordinary people, but not necessarily for monks. But an army of corpses with high-level undead intelligence was extremely terrifying. Skeletons and zombies that have been commanded can wear clothing armor and use weapons. Even if they don't get decent equipment, even if they just pick up a stone and a stick, their combat effectiveness will be completely different. And the undead in command will cooperate with each other without trampling on each other or killing each other. This is definitely not a good thing for them, God bless.
Of course, Tianyou is worried about more than that, he is more concerned about the whereabouts of the advance team.
According to the information of the head of Zhao Village, the advance team passed not much earlier than them. But God bless them, they chased all the way and didn't find any traces of battle. What does this mean? It can only be said that the advance party must have been like them and did not encounter the army of the undead.
On the surface, this is a good thing, but in reality it is a bad situation that cannot be worse.
The area of the Fog is like home to the undead. God forbid them as a group of outsiders who invaded the home of the undead, and the undead were the masters who were ready to fight back. At this time, for the intruders of God bless them, it is self-evident which is more dangerous for a master who rushes out with a scream and is ready to fight with them desperately or a master who hides in the shadows with a murder weapon and is ready to give them a fatal blow.
Unfortunately, God bless them as if they were in the worst possible situation. Moreover, Tianyou's conjecture was even worse than Qu Tong's thoughts.
Qu Tong just realized that there were high-level undead here, but he didn't expect it to be high, but Tianyou thought that the level of this undead would probably be terrifyingly high. Because if it's just an ordinary intelligent undead, it will at most gather low-level undead and besiege them like a street fight. And those who know how to hibernate and hide, it must be a super high undead who knows how to tactics, this kind of guy's IQ has surpassed that of ordinary humans, they can not only dispatch and command a larger number of undead groups, but more importantly, some of these guys also have their own halo ability, which can be blessed to enhance the combat effectiveness of the undead. Of course, their own strength is also very terrifying. In the absence of absolute power, they may not even find a chance to escape. That's what Tianyou is worried about. He was not afraid of mission failure, but he was afraid of folding the whole team into it.
This group of people and Tianyou get along quite well, especially Bai Bingyu and Lu Meng, which are even more close. So Tianyou didn't want to lose any of his companions, and of course he didn't want to die himself.
I thought it was just to rub the experience and mix up the benefits, but I didn't expect the situation to deteriorate to this extent, and Tianyou has even begun to consider whether to directly abandon the mission and withdraw from this area immediately.
