Chapter 9: The Cemetery
Before leaving the city, a Conqueror Scout was looking for him and asked Huang Chao to help destroy the blacksmith of Storm Bear and get back the ordnance blueprints. This is the side quest of the game, and Huang Chao took it without saying a word.
Leaving the Isriyan, Huang Chao walked into the "Martyrs' Passage", a valley full of cemeteries, where the bones of the ancestors of the Isrian people were buried. Now, stimulated by the forces of evil, the bones have been resurrected, and this place has become a paradise for the dead.
Huang Chao hadn't walked far before he saw a wandering skeleton appear in front of him. Even though it's daytime, it's still creepy to see a skeleton of bones walking around in front of it with a machete.
Huang Chao is just an ordinary person, and when he saw this kind of scene before, he might be like cannon fodder in a horror movie, scared to the ground. Fortunately, he learned the meditation method, which greatly strengthened his will. Although he was a little nervous at the moment, it didn't affect his battle at all.
Huang Chao now only has the skill "Colorful Magic Arrow", which can release five colorful magic arrows to track and hit the enemy. It can deal Fire, Cold, Lightning, and Toxin damage at the same time, and has a chance to inflict a corresponding debuff.
Now that Huang Chao is still far away from the skeleton, he has already used the skill. "Whoosh", the colorful magic missile slashes through the delicate arc, automatically hitting the skeleton in front of it, directly turning it into a pile of skeletons.
"It's so cool!" Huang Chao felt quite happy in his heart, compared to the magma spear, which requires aiming, this skill only needs to be aimed at the ground and released. Even with its back to the enemy, the missile can hit the opponent in a bend. Not to mention that it can also cross terrain and hit enemies when they can't hit them.
At present, the damage of the Colorful Demon Arrow is still low, and after level 14, with the branding of each system, it can deal extra damage to enemies who are stuck in a negative state, and the damage is quite high.
The speed of the skeletons was very slow, and when Huang Chao released his skills far away, they fell to the ground and turned into bone slag, without causing any threat.
As Huang Chao went deeper, skeletons wearing heavy armor appeared in the valley, and they needed to attack several times to break through the armor. His speed was still slow, and Huang Chao could run backwards and kill him in several times. At this time, Huang Chao's magic seemed to be a little less, and he ran out of magic several times, but he didn't kill the other party.
He could only drag the other party around in circles, waiting for his magic to recover. Because to fight this kind of mob, there is really no need to use potions.
After that, a skeleton archer appeared, Huang Chao didn't pay attention for a while, he was hit by an arrow, although his armor blocked the arrow from piercing, but it was still very painful, and his blood volume dropped a little.
He quickly pulled away, consciously aimed at the archer, and released the multicolored bullets to kill it. This is another use of the Prismatic Bolt, where aiming at an enemy will make the Prismatic Bolt hit the enemy you want to attack. This model will play a very important role in the future.
Huang Chao stopped to catch his breath, he had been fighting for two hours, and his experience growth was much slower than in the game, and he was now less than level 4. He rested for a while, the pain caused by the bow and arrow gradually subsided, and he found that he could continue the fight without drinking the medicine.
Huang Chao thought that the benefits of meditation did not make him feel painless, but his tolerance to pain was greatly enhanced. It's like a child who cries when he falls, and a fighter who fights when he's seriously injured.
"It's still going to hurt, I don't know if the physique has any effect." The increase in physique brings about changes that the body can feel, but in the game, physique is a very cost-effective attribute. He usually adds all his points to his intelligence.
"Now in a live-action RPG, the most important thing is to save your life, and you still have to add some physique." Huang Chao clarified his thoughts and sorted out his equipment again.
After coming to the martyr's passage for so long, Huang Chao obtained a lot of equipment by fighting monsters and opening boxes. He now switched to a pistol and a shield, which can block attacks, and a pistol that can attack monsters from a distance when he is low on magic.
This pistol is green and has two inlay holes, Huang Chao pressed the inlaid stone on it with a curious face, and the inlay stone was immediately and firmly embedded in the hole, and he couldn't pick it off again. The pistol's stats immediately changed, adding 7 points to Fire Attack.
"In such a real world, there is such a mosaic method, which is too discordant." Huang Chao complained, and pressed a stone with a toxin attack. He will set whatever stone he hits, and this equipment will be changed in a while anyway, and now it is just to improve his attack.
The pistol was held in his right hand, shining with the red light of flames and the green light of toxins, and Huang Chao's entire hand was wrapped in light, feeling that he was holding an artifact in his hand. In fact, the weapons in the Torchlight will have a glow as long as they have elemental damage......
Next, Huang Chao brushed the missile when he had magic, and shot when he was out of magic. The range of the pistol is only 12 meters, Huang Chao has practiced for a while, and he can shoot accurately without automatic operation.
"I'd rather not be able to hit it myself, and let it be longer. With a range of 12 meters, it's really for you to kneel, and the water gun can also reach this distance, right?! ”
The laws of the world are like this, and Huang Chao has no choice.
With the shield, Huang Chao also tried to face the heavily armored skeleton. The skeleton swung its greatsword and slashed down with the sound of breaking wind. Huang Chao saw that he had a lot of energy this time, and it was difficult to retract his momentum, so he immediately took a few steps back, and at the same time, he kept releasing colorful magic arrows to attack the other party. After the skeleton split into the air, he paused and raised his big sword to slash horizontally, and Huang Chao blocked the shield in the direction of the big sword.
With a loud bang, the big sword and the shield made intimate contact, and Huang Chao took several steps back, feeling that his arm was cut off. He was relieved to see that his shield was not broken, and his arm was still conscious, not severe pain, indicating that it was not a fracture. He blocked the attack, and the skeleton came to a halt again, and Huang Chao immediately sent out a multicolored magic arrow.
The five-law missile hit the skeleton at close range, and there was a violent elemental explosion, after a few rounds of shooting, the skeleton had already been empty of blood, and now Huang Chao took away its last blood. The heavily armored skeleton shattered into pieces, and contributed a white suit.
Huang Chao has a pursuit now, and he definitely can't look down on white clothes, at least he has to wear green clothes, and this garbage can only be sold for money.
He walked forward slowly, his arm was still in pain, Huang Chao knew that he couldn't fight normally like this, so he had to drink a blood bottle.
"It seems that the shield can only block a long-range attack, and with such a powerful attack as melee combat, it is better for me to run away and fly a kite immediately." Huang Chao kept this experience in mind, "Alas, the explosion rate of blood bottles is too low, and the money is not enough, otherwise the blood bottles can be eaten casually, and they can fight more fiercely." ”
In a downhill place, Huang Chao saw a strangely shaped wooden frame, with a skull supported at the top, shining with an ominous purple light.
"Ouch, this is an elite monster trap?" Huang Chao first swept around to make sure there were no mobs, and then shattered the skull with one shot.
A magic circle appeared under the wooden frame, and blood-red light swirled up along the magic array, standing in the air. A low roar was heard from underground, followed by a number of large holes in the ground, each of which crawled out of the skeleton.
In the middle was a blue-light skeleton dressed in a magic robe, and Huang Chao immediately recognized that this skeleton could release lightning balls.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party did not come out, Huang Chao brushed a few rounds of missiles with all his might, and then turned his head and ran.
This electric skeleton is just a little monster in the back, and its status is the same as the whiteboard skeleton that Huang Chao demolished before. Now in this elementary map, it has flaunted its might and mixed up with the position of the elite.
Huang Chao fought while retreating, and finally killed it. During this period, I ate several lightning bullets, and the opponent put three of them, and it also had a little tracking effect. If it weren't for the lightning bomb's insensitive turning, Huang Chao would have already knelt. Now Huang Chao's hair stood on end, his whole body was paralyzed, and he was trembling all over...... No way, eat the blood vial.
This elite made Huang Chao rise to level 4, and Huang Chao added 3 wisdom and 2 bodies, and once again felt that his physical fitness had improved. He found a skeleton archer to experiment, and when he was hit by an arrow, the pain was much lighter than before.
Strength 10, Agility 10, Intelligence 17, Stamina 14.
"As long as this continues, I will definitely become a superman." Each upgrade has five attribute points, and if you add it like this, your physical fitness will be more than ten times or even dozens of times that of ordinary people! Huang Chao is looking forward to the future.
Looking at the map, Huang Chao would soon be able to walk out of the Martyrs' Valley.
At this time, an Isrian woman appeared on the mountain road next to her, and when she saw Huang Chao, she had a happy expression on her face. She waved her hand and shouted, "Hello, can you do me a favor?" ”
Huang Chao said in his heart: "It's here." Sure enough, the woman asked Huang Chao to help her retrieve the Amo-Eric scroll from the tomb on the side. Huang Chao immediately agreed, and the woman showed a very grateful expression.
"Thank you very much, the Archon sent me to retrieve the scroll, but the corpses in the cemetery have come back to life, and I, I can't get in. Thankfully, Your Excellency, you're here. "This girl has a good figure, short silver hair, and a special temperament.
"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, you can wait here." The girl's plea made Huang Chao full of enthusiasm and immediately entered the tomb. On either side of the entrance, two giant skeleton statues add to its horror.
The tomb has a large area underground, and seems to occupy all the space below the martyr's passage. The tomb is broken and rotten, infested with undead monsters, mostly skeletons, and quite a few zombies. Zombies move slowly, have extremely thick blood, and have a kind of zombie that turns green all over their bodies, and will release a poisonous mist when killed.
Sometimes translucent ghosts will appear from chests and windows that can slow down and suck blood, and they will emit a piercing scream. Green slimes emerge from the ground, spewing pungent acid.
Huang Chao, as an old player, has known these monsters for a long time, and quickly finished the first layer.
The boss of the second layer is a large heavily armored skeleton, 3 meters high, and when cut down with a sword, there is really a momentum of landslides and ground cracks. It's a pity that speed is his hard flaw, and the vast space on the second layer allows Huang Chao to make full use of the terrain, and the skeleton general quickly falls.
However, an elite ghost in the back blocked Huang Chao's footsteps and almost put him in a death crisis.
