Chapter 3: The Rangers
Walking down the passage, Wang Hao encountered more and more zombies, and sometimes even encountered two or three patrolling together.
Wang Hao didn't say a word, and cut them all with a knife.
Judging by so many zombies, this cave may have been dug by these zombies.
After killing about twenty or thirty zombies, the creature on the other side of the spirit fluctuation suddenly emitted two fluctuations in a row, allowing Wang Hao to stay in place.
"Did you find out?" Wang Hao stopped and recalled what happened along the way, except for the first corpse, the rest of himself did not suck their blood, since the spiritual command can be issued to himself, it must also be issued to other corpses, compared to the fact that the command was not responded, so that the controller noticed something.
If the guess is correct, then the guy who controls the zombies is like a central server, and all the zombies that are controlled are the endpoints that can give orders to those guys.
Wang Hao immediately became extremely interested! There is a kind of psychic attack superpower in the attack system, but this ability only provides direct psychic attacks, and does not have any ability to control and convey information.
In other words, the other party's means of controlling zombies are either some kind of racial ability or a derivative skill of mental superpowers.
If it's a racial ability, it means that you can command a group of subordinates well when you are fighting with multiple people, even though you don't have any subordinates yet, but that's sooner or later;
If it is a derivative skill, it means that this guy is at least the fourth order of the spiritual system, which is not a small tonic for himself.
Thinking of this, Wang Hao no longer paid attention to the instructions in the mental fluctuations, but continued to walk forward.
The spiritual connection is a two-way street, and while the other person determines his or her position, he or she also determines the other person's position.
That guy was nearly a kilometer away from him in a straight line, but unfortunately this distance was beyond the detection range of the Pupil of Insight, otherwise we could see how strong he was.
Wang Hao's behavior of ignoring the instructions quickly angered the other party, and constantly came from the mental fluctuations one after another orders and even reprimands, and the screams sounded one after another in Wang Hao's consciousness.
"It's noisy!" Wang Hao felt that there were a lot of small insects crawling around in his ears and eyes, and he couldn't help but buckle his ears, but unfortunately the mental fluctuations were not transmitted through the ears, and he could only be comforted by Liao.
As Wang Hao continued to advance, the cave in front of him became wider and wider, and even made Wang Hao feel that this was not a cave, but the entrance to an underground city.
As he was walking, in the darkness ahead, there were several fluttering sounds, as if something was running fast.
Four or five pale shadows appeared in the Pupil of Insight, rapidly approaching him, each carrying a third-order ability and three or four second-order abilities.
"The master is here!" Wang Hao sneered, stuck the torch on the wall, pulled out the tiger tooth long knife, and looked coldly at the darkness in front of him.
The shadow got closer and closer, and the distance from himself went from one hundred meters, to fifty meters, to twenty meters, and finally appeared in Wang Hao's sight.
The monsters the size of several hounds, their skin was bloodless pale due to the lack of sunlight for many years, they had human heads, but they ran like wolves, and they stepped on all fours alternately, and they could leap almost a meter with each step.
In a way that violated the laws of physics, the monsters rushed along the walls of the cave and rushed towards Wang Hao.
The nearest one was simply attached to the top of the cave, and when it was still two or three meters away from Wang Hao, it violently rushed towards Wang Hao.
The monster was in mid-air, its two knife-sharp front paws fizzling in the air.
Wang Hao didn't dodge or dodge, and directly slashed down with a knife, cutting the monster in half.
Due to the huge inertia, the two halves of the monster's body were still undiminished, sticking to Wang Hao's shoulders and flying backwards, when the left half passed by Wang Hao's shoulder, the claws were still waving, Wang Hao didn't notice for a while, his shoulder hurt, and he was scratched with a huge wound, which was deeply visible.
Before he had time to look at the wound, several monsters rushed towards him without fear of death.
Wang Hao learned the lesson just now, and the long knife swung several times in a row, and every time he took out the knife, his wrist shook slightly, causing the tiger teeth to vibrate violently, and at the same time slashing the monster, he directly shook the corpse away.
A total of five monsters before and after almost all of them were accounted for in two or three seconds, and there was a roar of anger from the other end of the mental fluctuation.
"It's useless to be angry, if you have the ability, you can send more powerful men." Wang Hao replied, regardless of whether the other party understood it or not, and then picked up the corpse of half a monster and observed it carefully.
Unexpectedly, this monster is actually a human, compared to the zombies just now, these monsters are like dried salted fish, with only skin and bones left on their bodies, and long and sharp nails on their hands and feet, which can be used to attack, but also firmly grasp the soil on the cave wall, and move forward against the cave wall.
Blood flowed down the wounds of the corpses, dripping all over the ground, but it was obviously more than zombies, but it was still inferior to normal people.
"Could it be that these guys who have come back from the dead, the more blood they have, the worse they are?" Wang Hao thought secretly.
dipped in blood, the smell of blood was indeed stronger than the zombie just now. As soon as the blood of the skinny monster enters the body, it is immediately parsed by the pure-blood tree, containing a third-order agility, a second-order strength and defense, and several useless first-order abilities.
At the same time, a small fragment of incomplete information contained in the blood emerged from the pure-blood tree.
As Wang Hao guessed before, this skinny monster is indeed higher than ordinary zombies, and even has its own name: Ranger.
Not only is it much stronger in terms of ability, but even its intelligence has been significantly improved, and the rangers even know that those ordinary zombies are called: diggers.
Not only that, but each ranger seems to have a simple control of three to five diggers.
Wang Hao tried to give an order to the diggers controlled by the rangers, but there was no response for a long time, and even an order sounded directly in his consciousness.
I couldn't help crying and laughing, it seems that the zombies I killed along the way were the subordinates of these rangers.
The mental fluctuations in Wang Hao's consciousness established a connection again, and an angry roar came from the other end, and there was no longer any command in the roar, but simply expressed angry emotions.
When his subordinates are killed, of course, he will be angry, but relying on anger alone can not scare the enemy, Wang Hao really hopes that the other party can take action in person, or send some more powerful subordinates to intercept him.
It's a pity that until Wang Hao absorbed the blood of the killed rangers one by one, no monsters appeared in the cave.
As more and more Rangers were absorbed, the number of Life Origins transformed by the third-order abilities was also significantly decreasing. When absorbing the first and second ones, the third-order abilities were all transformed into twenty life sources, and although the second-order abilities were very weak, they still had some effect under careful observation.
By the time the last one was absorbed, the second-order ability and the first-order ability were already useless, and a third-order ability actually only provided eight life origins.
In the end, the six rangers provided a total of eighty-three life origins, plus the pure-blood tree left behind when they advanced to the second layer, a total of nearly two hundred points, which was still half of the four hundred copies needed to advance to the fourth order ability.
The reduction in the source of life was expected, but after absorbing the last Ranger, the pure-blood tree suddenly emitted a very human emotion: dissatisfaction.
"Not satisfied with only third-order blood?" Wang Hao was dumbfounded, the pure-blood tree was becoming more and more picky, and he didn't even pay attention to the third-order ability, he had to know that his current highest ability was only the third-order.
In addition to being depressed, Wang Hao was a little strange, when did the pure-blood tree start to produce such a thing as "emotion"? Could it be that after the continuous evolution of the pure-blood tree, it will produce its own consciousness and life?
If the pure-blood tree really has life, then what is it?
Or, the pure-blood tree's "dissatisfaction" just now was just an instinctive reaction due to the weakening of the third-order ability effect, to put it bluntly, it was not the pureblood tree that was dissatisfied, but his own body was dissatisfied?
Wang Hao creatively thought of a few ways and tried to communicate with the pure-blood tree, but he didn't know if it was wrong or if he was worried that it would be redundant, so the pure-blood tree didn't make any response. At this point, I can only hope that my worries are superfluous, at least at this stage.
Continue on the road, walked for another hundred meters, the wind and waves were calm along the way, not to mention the rangers, even the diggers did not appear, except for the coffins on both sides of the cave are mounds of earth.
Wang Hao thought about it, expressed an extremely insulting meaning to that end through mental fluctuations, passed on all the most vicious and dirty words he could think of, and frantically provoked.
In Wang Hao's bottomless abuse, the other party quickly couldn't hold it back, and let out a piercing roar again and again, as can be seen from the emotion of the voice, the guy's anger has skyrocketed, and there are signs of imminent rampage.
Wang Hao secretly rejoiced, most of these mutated creatures are arrogant and arrogant, irritable and impulsive, his own provocation has successfully aroused his killing intent, and the next thing should be a steady stream of desserts delivered to the door.
Soon, the shadow of the ranger appeared again in the pupil of insight, and groups of rangers approached from a distance, secretly appearing, screaming and pounced.
Rangers with third-order agility and several second-order abilities are actually not weak, and they are not afraid of death, and they are originally very good offensive players, but their IQ is still their hard flaw.
After being slashed by the tiger teeth several times in a row, if the rangers could realize that their attacks were futile and turn around and run away, with their agility and thin body, Wang Hao really couldn't do anything about them.
In the case of insufficient relative strength, bravery is often synonymous with sending to death, and the character of not knowing whether to live or die has buried the lives of a large number of rangers, and at the same time brought the source of life to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao licked the blood on the blade, was very satisfied with the other party's courage, and conveyed an appreciative emotion through mental fluctuations. And there was no response from the other side this time.
After more than ten minutes, the last ranger fell, and then finally no monsters appeared.
Wang Hao counted that a total of almost forty or fifty Rangers had been killed, and the number of Life Origin had reached exactly four hundred.
Fortunately, until now, Anne's body has not been seen, and there is no such thing as her clothes that would indicate that she has been killed.
In this environment, no news is good news.
"Four hundred copies, you can advance to a fourth-level ability."
There are several abilities that can be selected for advancing to the fourth order, and Wang Hao is walking and thinking about which ability to upgrade is the most beneficial to him in the current situation.
After a few steps, the road under my feet suddenly lowered, showing a downward slope.
Looking down the slope, the end of the slope seems to be an exit, and a faint light seeps in through the exit.
Wang Hao was stunned: "How can there be electricity in this ghost place?" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today, a friend in the book review area guessed part of the follow-up plot, and it was so easy to guess~~~ It seems that I need to change it~~
In addition, many book lovers in the book review area have raised unreasonable points, and many of them are very right, but in my opinion, some are unreasonable, which are just reasonable.
The new world has only been established for five or six years, and the new human beings in the eastern world are too busy fighting for power and profit, and during this time, they have encountered large-scale resistance from the Flame Volunteers, so how can they have the time to think about a reasonable development route. It's like when a new country is established, it takes a few years to get back on track.
For example, what happened in our country in the sixties and seventies seems ridiculous, sad and unreasonable now, but it still happened vigorously and affected a generation.
As for the Western world, what about the African continent, you guess I won't spoil it
Of course, everyone is welcome to discuss.
Regardless of whether I replied to each comment or not, I read it carefully, and some even read it several times in a row
Your words have also inspired me a lot.
Tomorrow there may be two more, or three more, two more six or seven thousand, three more is 10,000 words~~
