Chapter Twenty-Seven: Arduous Battles, Dilemmas and Deaths
Bosses generally refer to huge, powerful, and difficult opponents or monsters that appear in computer games. Although the hunt is difficult, once the push is successful, you can get a very generous harvest, which can be described as both risk and opportunity.
For travelers with an average star of two stars and a maximum of three stars, the undead with four-star strength under the coercion of the life field can already be called bosses.
ALTHOUGH THEY CAN ONLY BE CONSIDERED MINI-BOSSES.
Even though the Travelers were two stars behind them, due to the existence of the magic circle, the various teams still managed to take down the four-star undead who came out...... However, before they could be happy, another four-star undead came out of the void, and with them many Yin Spirits that were immune to pure physical attacks.
It is evident that the quality of the Necromancy's offensive is constantly improving.
"O furious thunder! Grant our enemies eternal destruction! "The thunder raged, constantly striking every inch of the space, and the corpses were scorched and shattered under the huge electric current, and the air was filled with a thick smell of burning.
Zeus still maintained a graceful posture at this time, but the reddish cheeks and rapidly heaving chest reflected that he was not in as good condition as he seemed on his face.
[Whew...... Some of them are overpowered. Zeus tried his best to absorb the life energy that was free in the air to make up for the excessive consumption in his body. [Even God needs to be subordinate, not to mention that I can't afford this name now.] γ
[But! God will never give up! Zeus's eyes froze, and he grabbed the scepter, and the blue electric light flowed rapidly.
The rumbling thunder rang out again.
β¦β¦
"Hey! Salvation games are really not fun. A donkey rolled around and flashed the giant axe that had been chopped, but the Asian man who had asked for the Life Crystal to be triggered was excited.
"The boss has to look like a boss! You deserve to die under the waning moon of empty dreams. The man threw away the long stainless steel knife that had already been covered with notches on the blade, and copied it casually. The knife fell into his hands. The blade is as transparent as water, as thin as a cicada's wings, and the blades shimmer with seductive light, like a master's carefully carved work of art.
The soul fire flashed in the eyes of the three-armed undead on the opposite side, and they did not continue to attack...... If Mo Wen was here, he would definitely recognize this undead - it was the only undead that Mo Wen swept to the six-star level, the Death Lord.
But now it's only at the level of a four-star peak.
"Now, let me measure ......" the man laughed maniacally, a roaring hurricane rolling up around him, shaking away the undead around him.
"Your qualifications as a boss."
The long knife with the beautiful name of the waning moon of the empty dream has an invincible momentum, cutting a rounded arc through the air.
β¦β¦
"Whew...... Call! Mo Wen gasped for breath, resisting the continuous attack of the undead like a tide - Akaya Moeka had already released her personality state at this time because she couldn't suppress the boiling True Ancestor bloodline in her body, and retreated to the back row to protect the kittens with extremely low combat effectiveness and the black god who could protect herself.
In other words, Mo Wen is the only one in front at the moment.
[Even if the monks of the Zhuxian World like to cut each other with magic weapons...... But how can I say that I am also an authentic Dharma Master, not a warrior! Before, there were little vampires to share the pressure, and Mo Wen could still deal with the open guns and dark arrows around him, but now he was the only one left, and even if he had the premonition bonus of the Eye of Destiny, he couldn't parry the dense attacks.
[These ten minutes of small-area spells have been used up...... Do you need to use only five large-scale spells? Mo Wen gritted his teeth.
"Meow!" Just when Mo Wen hesitated, a miserable scream rang out.
Mo Wen turned his head suddenly, only to find that the kitten Xiaobai was slashed by an undead blade, and seeing that the blade was about to completely split the kitten in half, a pale golden light shield quickly enveloped it, and then disappeared into space.
Only the pool of bright red blood on the ground remained.
[Is this what is called 'teleporting back to the Traveler's House after taking fatal damage?'] Although he had some sympathy for the kitten's bad luck, Mo Wen didn't regret it in the slightest - after all, that little guy who didn't have any combat power was not suitable for staying in this kind of place at all, and it was a good thing to leave this world early.
But others don't think so.
"Xiaobai!" Lias let out a cry of heartache, and the demonic flames suddenly erupted......
For the low-level undead, this blazing Demon Realm Flame was undoubtedly a deadly thing. But unfortunately, there is really no shortage of high-level undead in this space.
A three-star high-ranking undead with a long knife approached the little demon against the erosion of demonic flames, and although the black ominous flame from the demon realm crackled on its withered body, it still did not hesitate to swing the rusted blade in its hand.
The sound of flesh tearing rang out, and blood splattered everywhere.
β¦β¦
"Nuclear Fusion Fist...... The giant cannon style of the sky is ahhhh The reddish eyes of the sky roared angrily, and the two qi that were wrapped around his arm suddenly converged, and blasted out with the domineering punch.
The surging power exploded in this small space, and the four-star undead who bore the brunt of it were instantly shattered into pieces, and a large number of minions around it were also swept away by the aftermath of this style.
"Red, are you alright?" The sky gasped and looked at the woman behind him with a concerned expression.
"It's okay...... I'm not used to fighting in such a cramped environment. The woman in ancient costume held her blood-stained left arm and smiled bitterly.
"The one over there! Don't grind! Zi Yu, who was not far away, swept with a gun and shouted: "There are still a lot of those bone racks." β
ββ¦β¦ This gold sore medicine and bandages you hold. Hearing this, the sky quickly took out two objects from the space and handed them to the woman in ancient costumes, and then raised her fists and rushed forward.
β¦β¦
[Obviously there are only three stars...... But why is this monster's defense so strong? Looking at the shallow mark left by his katana on the white bones, a traveler closed his eyes reluctantly.
A faint flash of golden light took the dying traveler out of this world.
β¦β¦
"Ahh Lias screamed and fell to the ground. Not far from her, a slender arm stained with a speck of blood lay limply on the ground.
- Although she dodged the fatal blow, the undead chopped off her left arm.
[Damn...... This little girl is still too tender. Seeing Lias's miserable situation, Mo Wen sighed in his heart, and inspired the great spell contained in the magic circle.
In an instant, the entire space was filled with a thick green light.
β¦β¦
Thousands of miles away from the pillar of light in the sky, a small group of travelers sat on the ground in embarrassment between the barren land and the boundless deep sea.
"I'm so lucky." The middle-aged man with his arms on his head looked afraid: "Those undead didn't kill us." β
"That's not right." The mage, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was a little puzzled: "Aren't the undead acting on instinct?" So why do they let us go as living beings? β
"Whatever, it's good to survive." A woman with a cigarette in her mouth and a big sister in the underworld said with a big grin: "Since we haven't had time to enter the pillar of light, let's try to live for a while longer." β
"Or ...... Do you still have the dream of slaying dragons as a hero? β
β¦β¦
Three hours had passed since the undead attacked, and the battle had begun to gradually turn from fierce to fierce.
The spirits of the dead vanished in the light of life, and the travelers disappeared in the blood of golden light. The diameter of the green pillar of light that pierced through the sky was already ten zhang in diameter at this time, dozens of times that of the beginning, but the undead on the ground were still dense, and there was no reduction at all.
In the castle hall.
"Drip ...... There are 2,420 self-operated defensive circles left, 312 manually controlled defensive circles remaining, and 37% of the progress of the Death Gem power suppression is completed...... Judging ...... Meet the requirements of Plan B, and the structure of the circle will remain unchanged. β
An AI-like voice sounded, but unfortunately no one could hear it.
β¦β¦
"That's the result of being distracted in battle...... Lias, how are you feeling now? Mo Wen asked while manipulating the spell to continuously bombard the undead who came out of the end of space.
"Uh......h It hurts to death! Mom ...... "The little devil clutched his bare left shoulder and kept shedding tears, obviously unable to fight.
ββ¦β¦ Forget it, you can hide from it. "Even if it's a demon, it's still a child. Mo Wen sighed, "Don't cry!" The kitten isn't dead, and your arm should be able to be picked up when it's back at the Traveler's House. β
"Ming, understood!" Lias was still sobbing on and off.
[It's only been three hours...... How long will it take? Mo Wen slashed the body of the undead in front of him with a sword, thinking a little tiredly. [You don't really have to watch for 12 hours, do you...... I guess I won't be able to last six hours. γ
"Master...... Come here and rest for a while. The little black god was keenly aware of the tiredness on Mo Wen's face and spoke.
"I'm here for a break?" Mo Wen smiled bitterly: "How hard do you think the earthen wall I summoned is?" If there were no people out there, not to mention you, the life force emitted by that device would definitely drive these guys crazy. β
"Then ......," the little black god said and stopped.
"Huh...... Don't worry about me, it's just a fight to the death. Mo Wen spun around in a chic manner, and Cloud Shadow accurately removed the heads of the two undead.
"I've died twice...... You'd better worry about yourself. β
===Mo asks the perspective ===
For some reason, when the red blood gushed out from Lias's arm, an indescribable feeling quickly spread from the bottom of her heart.
Wrath? Bemoan? Sadness? Excited? I can't tell. All I knew was that at that moment, my heart, which had been exhausted from the killing, suddenly came to life.
"It's a familiar feeling." I muttered to myself, the sword in my eyes full of fierceness looking very kind.
[Why?] I asked myself secretly, but because I was distracted, I was accidentally cut on the cheek by an undead with a long weapon, and the scarlet, warm blood flowed out quickly.
[It's a slap in the face in every sense...... Apparently I had just warned Lias. I thought lightly, and then unconsciously stretched out my tongue and licked it to the corner of my mouth, slightly salty, but with a little fragrance.
[Familiar and unfamiliar taste...... It's the smell of the battlefield. It dawned on me.
[To be honest, I have been at ease since I cultivated in Qingyun, but I forgot the first days when blood and fire were intertwined...... Three Kingdoms. I suddenly felt that my blood was boiling, and the sour feeling around me disappeared in an instant.
[Don't worry about anything, just fight! ] Swinging his sword roughly, the majestic spiritual power frantically poured into the cloud shadow, and the undead in front of him raised his blade to block, but was shattered by the sword and the people.
[This is the ...... Battlefield. γ
====Mo asks the end of the perspective====
"Master...... What happened to him? The black god looked at Mo Wen in surprise as he rushed to kill among the undead.
At this time, Mo Wen changed his previous method of warfare, which was mainly based on spell bombardment, but poured spiritual power into the cloud shadow without any scruples, and then waved it wildly. The wide open and closed sword path and Mo Wen's desperate mentality at this time were simply a match made in heaven, the undead fell down piece by piece like wheat cut by a sickle, and there were more and more blood marks on Mo Wen's body - no matter how hard the skin of the golden scale demon snake was, it was only a three-star material, and it still couldn't stop the sharpness of the high-grade weapon.
But Mo Wen didn't care in the slightest, and still waved the cloud shadow wantonly.
"This ...... Is that the true face of an adult? The faint bloody aura wafting in her face made Chiye Mengxiang a little moved, but she still resisted the blood-sucking desire in her heart and said softly.
"Isn't heβdoesn't he hurt?" Lias's tears were hazy, and she still couldn't get out of the shadow of her broken arm.
ββ¦β¦ That's not going to work. The black god said calmly: "Even if he has the blessing of the magic circle, if he squandered his physical strength like this, he wouldn't be able to last long." β
"So what do we do?" The little vampire looked at his new companion.
"Get ready for battle." The little black god sighed: "Looking at Master's posture, he can't listen to us...... By the time Master is sent back to the Traveler's Home, we will be on our own. β
β¦β¦
I don't know how high above the blood moon was above the ground, and the surging green light continued to dissolve the red blood tide. Although the green light was continuous, the blood color did not have the slightest tendency to decline, and in the middle of the rich blood color, an inconspicuous dark red gem lay quietly in the crack of the stone, and the slightest dark red thread continued to seep out from a small slit in the middle of the gem.
β¦β¦
Time passed minute by minute, and all the travelers were red-eyed - since it wasn't real death, what was there to be afraid of?
[It's been almost five hours......] The sky numbly waved his fists, fending off the attacks around him. γUp to ...... Two-hour ...... No, I don't think I can hold it out for an hour. γ
"Sister Ziyu, you can rest for a while." The woman with wounded right arm crossed out of the rear bunker, and the horizontal sword was in front of the spear-wielding woman.
"Then it's hard for you." Ziyu was not hypocritical, put away the spear and retreated. "Sister Hong, be careful yourself."
"The Heavenly Martial Saint Skill is really wonderful." Red glanced at the sky: "You have been fighting continuously for so long and can still support it...... Could it be that you have returned to the Heavenly Position and can initially use the Heaven and Earth Vitality? β
"There's no such thing as a celestial position here, I've said it many times." The sky shook his head: "If it weren't for this formation, I would ......"
Bang!
A loud explosion resounded throughout the space, and the half-plane shook as a result, and many travelers were so unstable by the sudden tremor that they fell to the ground.
"What's going on?!" The sky was furious, and hurriedly used its internal strength to stabilize its center of gravity. [Could it be that the space is about to collapse?] γ
"Outside the castle." Just when the sky was worried about the success or failure of the mission, the blue-haired girl who had been hiding in the bunker reminded calmly.
γOutside?γ The firmament's heart moved, and he was distracted and manipulated the magic circle to peek at the situation outside the castle.
Then he was scared.
Outside the castle, the dead are like a sea - this is nothing, the sky that has been fighting for so long has long been numb by this time. What scared him was the group of undead who soared through the air with giant bony wings: they had skeletons more than ten meters long, strong limbs, and two pairs of wing claws evenly distributed at the front of their broad wings, like giant lizards with bat wings.
"Karaal Dragons......" The sky pronounced this nightmare-like term with a solemn face. [Damn, how did these guys become undead?] Aren't they the strongest race in the world? γ
In fact, it is also a coincidence, similar to some myths and legends of Chinese and Western dragons, the Karar dragons also have the habit of sleeping lazily, and they happen to be sleeping when the disaster breaks out. And these big reptiles are afraid of being disturbed or invaded by foreign enemies, so they have arranged a very powerful magic array in their sleeping place, isolating most of the power of death, and only a small amount of death power has invaded the bodies of these powerful creatures.
But it's a tickle for them, and none of the Karar dragons cares about this 'trifle'.
The power of death continues to increase, and the defensive effect of the magic circle against the power of death is also weakening, and the death power that infiltrates the magic circle naturally increases slowly - and then these big lizards, who are known as the strongest race at this time, all turn into stupid frogs in a pot of warm water.
Slowly worn to death by the power of death.
Bang!
The Karar dragons flying in mid-air opened their mouths and fired another volley of Hell's Breath at the castle, and the light curtain guarding the fortress trembled, but they still managed to block it.
[Damn, sooner or later, I won't be able to hold it...... The only solution I know of now is to use the Dafan Purgatory Knife. The sky looked at the group of bone dragons in the sky and gritted his teeth secretly. [But even if I'm willing to sacrifice, I can't understand the state of mind required for that kind of trick anyway.] γ
β¦β¦
[After being suppressed by the life field, there are still most of the four-star peaks...... The rest are all above five stars. The man surnamed Zhong pushed his glasses. [The difference in strength is too great. γ
β¦β¦
"......" Mo Wen glanced at the outside world, and then continued to wave the long sword in his hand - he was already boiling with blood and didn't care about these powerful enemies who might make his mission fail.
β¦β¦
"Commander, what are you going to do?!" Scott stopped in front of Wright.
"I'm going to stop the undead." The blonde knight looked solemn. "Although the enemy is strong...... However, if I break the Heart of the Holy Radiance and launch the Holy Light Judgment, I will definitely be able to destroy the dragons in one fell swoop and solve the current crisis. β
"But the captain, you're probably ...... like this."
"If we delay any longer, we may fail!" The power of the Holy Light surged around Wright. "You stay here......"
"Commander...... You don't need to go out. The mage suddenly spoke.
"Do you want me to turn my back on my honor?" The knight's eyes grew sharp.
"What's going on?" The mage smiled bitterly: "Someone has already rushed up before you. β
β¦β¦
"Oh hehe...... This traveler's home is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. The embarrassed Asian man with a long crystal knife in his hand chuckled twice as he looked at the figure in the sky outside the castle. Let me see what you're capable of. β
β¦β¦
[That guy...... Sure enough, at the critical moment, do you have to rely on someone who can open a plug-in to save the scene? The sky looked at the familiar figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
β¦β¦
As soon as the man came out of the circle, he rushed towards the dozens of Karar dragon undead in the sky, but those bone dragons only paused, still accumulating their breath and preparing to bombard the light curtain.
Then, a loud dragon roar resounded across the land.
