Chapter 291: Plague Star
The sudden enemy surprised everyone, and most of them didn't even understand the current situation when they saw Zhou Lu being knocked out. Even Zhou Lu, who was the one who was attacked, was actually the same - he was suddenly attacked by a strange black shadow, but the 'Sword of the Silver Moon' failed to make any effective warnings and hints. If it hadn't been for the sudden stop in mid-air, she might have even been directly hit by that black light just now.
But even so, Zhou Lu was still sent flying. Not only did he take advantage of the sneak attack, but the strength of the enemy in front of him was not comparable to those ordinary enemies that Zhou Lu had dealt with before. Although he dodged the blow of the sudden cold arrow, in the subsequent attack, Zhou Lu still failed to parry the huge momentum of the opponent.
Zhou Lu was shot back to the ground, and the others finally reacted. Immediately gave up the dying giant spider and put himself on guard in a defensive posture. They themselves are not strong, and they have not been indoctrinated with the rigid idea that they must follow the rules like the people in the executive department; At this time, there was no idea of rushing up to support Zhou Lu, but he took precautions first.
Harelli screamed and prepared to go over for treatment, but the shadow was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it chased after her. Seeing that Zhou Lu was about to be caught up, he saw a golden beam of light burst out from the place where Zhou Lu fell.
Although she didn't know what Zhou Lu's condition was, Herelli was relieved to see that she was still alive; Realizing that the situation was not right, Herelli hurriedly pressed the emergency call button of the 'Sword of the Silvermoon'.
And the situation on Zhou Lu's side is actually not very good.
was attacked by a sudden enemy, and Zhou Lu reacted in time. Still got some injuries. Shot down from mid-air to the ground. Zhou Lu didn't have time to care about the ankle that seemed to have been broken. When I got up, a nebula typhoon shot out. Sure enough, after crashing into Zhou Lu, the black shadow wanted to rush down to give Zhou Lu a fatal blow, but was blocked by the oncoming violent beam.
'Nebula Typhoon' is very powerful, and the destructive power in the center is even more powerful than the ultimate skill 'Starfall Rain'. Because the speed is relatively slow and easy to be avoided, Zhou Lu doesn't use it much on weekdays. However, the black shadow in front of him was menacing, and this kind of attack was just right to block its attack for the time being.
But even so, such an attack only temporarily stopped the opponent's offensive.
didn't pay attention to Zhou Lu's attack at all. The black shadow didn't even dodge to the side, and directly took Zhou Lu's attack from the front. Before the light dissipated, a few black rays of light shot out; Zhou Lu hurriedly dodged to the side, and then flashed these deadly black lights.
The golden light dissipated, and the black shadow was unharmed. Zhou Lu's 'Nebula Typhoon' did not cause any damage to it at all, but Zhou Lu was forced to be quite wolf in order to avoid its attack. Raising his head, Zhou Lu saw the appearance of this monster clearly.
It was a pitch-black bird with a pair of huge wings, and unlike other monsters, it had no of the swirling black mist at all; The pitch-black and shiny feathers glowed with an eerie light, as cold and terrifying as a sculpture carved out of tungsten steel. The strange bird waved its wings. A few more black rays of light shot down; Obviously, what attacked Zhou Lu just now was the feather it launched.
Zhou Lu hurriedly raised his wand to block. With a crisp sound of metal clashes, the feather was bounced to the side, Zhou Lu's hands shook, and the wand in his hand almost flew out of his hand. In addition to being shocked in my heart, I couldn't help but be even more surprised. Hurriedly got up and became vigilant.
And taking advantage of this, others gradually reacted. Herelli came to the side and performed healing on Zhou Lu and healed the injury on Zhou Lu's foot. And those local superpowers also took out their weapons one after another and began to carry out tentative attacks on the black shadow.
The monster still seems to have some fear of lasers, and doesn't hard-connect those attacks head-on; Instead, it dodged two lasers sideways, and with a flick of its wings, it dispersed a wave of energy that flew towards it, and then shot back a few black feathers. The feathers were fast, and the screams of the crowd over there were soon heard.
With a huge disparity in strength, those superpowers are no match for this strange bird at all. However, the target of the giant bird was obviously not those local guards, and after killing the three people, it did not continue to entangle, and quickly turned the target back to Zhou Lu, and after a few black lights were sprinkled with a wave of wings, it spread its wings and continued to rush towards Zhou Lu.
Hearing the screams over there, Zhou Lu also realized that there were dead and injured. Now that he is still unable to protect himself, Zhou Lu can't take care of others; However, when she saw Herelli who hurriedly wanted to come over to help, Zhou Lu couldn't help but shout: "Don't come here!" Report to HQ! ”
As he spoke, the enemy had arrived. Zhou Lu didn't have time to care, and raised his wand to meet him. And at this moment, Zhou Lu heard Herley's voice:
"This guy is a plague star, run out!"
Plague Star? Zhou Lu immediately remembered the meaning of this word. The Plague Star is a boss in the game and is a very terrifying undead creature.
In the game, the undead are a special race with powerful magical abilities and terrifying talents that other races cannot possess. They were created by the necromancer, and the Plague Star is a high-level war weapon created by the necromancer. In the game, it is a task boss that can only be challenged by top players, and it is quite difficult; Although Zhou Lu had seen a lot of monsters that had been stored in the game before, what he didn't expect was that he would encounter such a top-level undead creature in this kind of place today.
While parrying another charge from the Plague Star, Zhou Lu began to think about how to get out of danger. Thinking of the way this guy seemed to be a little afraid of lasers a moment ago, Zhou Lu couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. Zhou Lu's attack is powerful, no weaker than some large war weapons; But this monster didn't care about Zhou Lu's attack, and instead began to dodge some laser shots that were not too threatening. The reason for this is because of the photophobia of the undead.
The fear of light is an immutable racial trait. In the game, as long as there is light, these monsters are subject to some restrictions, so they often do not appear during the day. That's why. No doubt. Lasers should have some lethality for them; And Herelli should be for this reason. Only then did she determine the identity of this guy - she hadn't played "Wind Country", and to recognize this plague star, she could only judge from some subtle clues.
Once you've identified the monster, it's time to think about how to fight. To deal with undead creatures, using light magic is obviously the best way; The reason why Herelli reminded Zhou Lu was to make Zhou Lu pay attention to the characteristics and weaknesses of monsters in this regard. However, even so, Zhou Lu didn't know how to deal with it.
Due to its strong combat instinct and speed beyond common sense, the automatic aiming equipment in the firearms has little effect on it. And Zhou Lu's magic looks golden though. Actually, those things have nothing to do with electromagnetic waves. Zhou Lu's magic is essentially just a phenomenon produced by the condensation of magical power, and it is not much more threatening to the undead creatures than the stronger sunlight. So when Zhou Lu used the skill just now, the other party didn't dodge at all.
What's more, in the battle just now, Zhou Lu had already discovered how powerful this enemy's ability was. Now, there's no time to think about anything else. I just hope that it will be delayed until the reinforcements arrive, and maybe I can be saved.
However, Zhou Lu had just avoided one of its beams, and then tried to limit its range of movement with chains, and the people around him rushed up together. At this time, Zhou Lu couldn't say the words 'My Royal Highness, you will retreat quickly', but when he saw the Plague Star wave its wings, several people below immediately fell down screaming. I still can't help but feel nervous. In addition, Yu Guang saw Herley, who was swaying below, Zhou Lu couldn't help shouting: "You guys quickly retreat!" ”
Distraction in battle. Not a good thing. The enemy's oppression and attack were very dangerous, and before Zhou Lu could finish speaking, he was injured while dealing with the next attack. A feather broke through the guardian elf's defenses and pierced Zhou Lu's shoulder, blood gushing out. Herelli, who had just heard Zhou Lu's order to prepare to retreat, saw that Zhou Lu was injured and couldn't care about leaving; With a wave of his wand, he used high-level healing techniques to instantly heal Zhou Lugang's wound.
Otherworldly magic is a combat skill that transcends common sense. This emergency treatment applied to the battlefield not only takes effect quickly, but also the results are completely impeccable. The injury just now was not critical, but it was enough to make Zhou Lu lose his combat power in a short period of time; However, as the treatment took effect, Zhou Lu's wound quickly recovered as usual. After the recovery, Zhou Lu didn't have time to turn around and thank Herelli or urge her to leave, and waved a starlight bomb. As soon as the attack was successful, the 'Plague Star' couldn't help but be a little lax, and suddenly rushed up, only to be hit in the face by Zhou Lu's starlight blast.
The golden light dissipated, and the Plague Star was unscathed. After receiving this attack that provoked more than harm, the Plague Star was visibly upset, and a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness began to glow dangerously red; However, it did not launch a more violent attack on Zhou Lu who was attacking according to Zhou Lu's thoughts, but turned its head and looked at Herelli who was standing on the ground.
Zhou Lu chuckled in his heart, knowing that something was wrong, he waved his wand and attacked, but was hit back from mid-air by the Plague Star with a wave of his wings. Immediately after, the Plague Star turned and waved its wings on the other side, and several black rays of light shot in Herery's direction.
Hearing Herelli's exclamation, Zhou Lu couldn't care about anything else. Rushed forward in a hurry, wanting to stop the Plague Star's intention to attack further. The Plague Star saw Zhou Lu's intentions, and the attack on that side became even more intensified. In its understanding, Zhou Lu is obviously a mage class that needs to keep a distance to fight; As long as Zhou Lu is forced to get close, the next battle will be easy to handle. Unlike other monsters, this sudden arrival of the 'Plague Star' is obviously a monster with super intelligence, even if its actual strength is much stronger than Zhou Lu's, its cunning and insidious fighting methods have never changed.
However, things clearly did not go the way it had been imagined.
Zhou Lu gave up dodging, took out a small cylinder and rushed over. The 'Plague Star' was very satisfied, spread its wings, and was about to make a close-range flying feather salvo at Zhou Lu, but Zhou Lu suddenly accelerated, and a dazzling white light suddenly appeared in the cylinder in his hand.
"Ahhhhh
The laser sword pierced directly through the Plague Star's chest, and a large amount of black mist erupted. Zhou Lu hurriedly threw away the cylinder and hurriedly retreated, in the gushing black mist. The Plague Star's body is no longer visible.
Laser sword. This is the only light-related weapon on Zhou Lu's body. It is also the most destructive attack method on Zhou Lu's body. Although it is quite restrictive to use, Zhou Lu is not familiar with the operation method of this kind of cold weapon combat; But in this particular case, it has a surprising effect. The unsuspecting 'Plague Star' was carelessly pierced through the chest by Zhou Lu's sword.
Victory? Looking back, Herelli seemed to have only been slightly injured, and was using magic to treat herself at the moment, and Zhou Lu didn't have time to ask; In the fierce battle just now, her magic power was consumed a lot; Next, it is more important to take the opportunity to change to a magic costume prop with sufficient magic power. Come to think of it. Zhou Lu stepped back, took out the ring, and was about to take off the necklace.
Thinking that the opponent is an undead, and the undead are afraid of light; After being attacked like this, even if you don't die, you have to shed your skin - this is Zhou Lu's idea. Although Zhou Lu didn't expect to be able to kill it with such a blow, Zhou Lu didn't think it could launch a counterattack so quickly. However, at this moment, Zhou Lu heard the shouts of everyone behind him; Before she could realize the danger, a strong force suddenly came from behind her.
In an instant, Zhou Lu understood that he was calculated. This kind of undead is not only powerful, but its intelligence is obviously not comparable to that of ordinary monsters; Zhou Lu took advantage of the situation to sneak attack. However, why is it not waiting for Zhou Lu to be paralyzed? Taking advantage of Zhou Lu's lax efforts, the Plague Star appeared directly behind Zhou Lu. and carried out a sneak attack on her.
With the first blow, the guardian elf was completely defeated and disappeared with a wail. In the second blow, Zhou Lu barely parried with his wand, but because the power was too small, he was directly knocked off the weapon. In the third blow, Herelli used a light skill to force back the Plague Star, and Zhou Lu was not killed on the spot. However, before Zhou Lu could summon a magic wand again, the wings of the Plague Star slashed towards Zhou Lu's neck with sharp feathers like sharp blades.
Realizing that his battle had come to an end, Zhou Lu closed his eyes in resignation. The strong wind blew away Zhou Lu's magic hat, and the pitch-black hair was scattered. However, at this moment, a red light curtain suddenly appeared on Zhou Lu's neck, flicking the Plague Star's wings to the side. Immediately after, the red light curtain suddenly expanded, and a flash of alarm flashed in the red eyes of the plague star, and then it turned into a black mist and dissipated; When it reappeared, it was already a dozen meters away.
"Discovery of irreversible life danger, crisis damage insurance opens."
A familiar voice appeared in Zhou Lu's ears, and Zhou Lu opened his eyes and saw his own brother floating in the air - although it was just a phantom.
"In danger, right?" Zhou Heng's phantom said, "After the last time I was in trouble, I added a new emergency protection system to your amulet. It's a protective enchantment that guarantees that you won't be attacked by enemies for a short time. Reinforcements from the headquarters will arrive soon, so hold on a little bit. ”
"Ah......h
Just encountered such a danger, Zhou Lu couldn't say anything. Before he could react, he listened to Zhou Heng in front of him continue:
"Don't talk to me, it's just a phantom. This barrier lasts for about twenty minutes, and may decrease as the enemy attacks. This is the last insurance set for your safety, and then I will give you the control of the enchantment, you must be careful not to leave the scope of the enchantment. ”
It turns out that the amulet still has such a function? A long time ago, Zhou Heng gave this talisman to Zhou Lu, and when he strayed into the 'Spirit Domain', it did save Zhou Lu's life. However, as Zhou Lu himself mastered the power beyond ordinary people, the effect of this talisman was not so obvious. Although she often wears it by her side, Zhou Lu even forgot that she still has such a prop. It wasn't until today, when the situation was critical, that it jumped out again, unfolded the defensive barrier used to protect, and protected Zhou Lu in the center.
Is it safe? The heart was still pounding, Zhou Lu looked at a spherical red transparent enchantment in the West Periphery, and there were still some lingering palpitations in his heart. However, as an enemy, the Plague Star outside the barrier has no intention of giving up. After shooting a few black feathers, and discovering that normal attacks could not destroy the barrier, the Plague Star also changed its attack and spewed out a black mist from its beak. The black mist crashed into the barrier, causing a violent shock; The escaping black mist spread in all directions, causing chaos among the survivors below. And Zhou Lu reacted at this time, and let in Herelli and other superpowers outside the enchantment.
"Zhou Lu!" Herelli hurriedly flew up and came to Zhou Lu's side, "Are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine......"
While answering, Zhou Lu also sensed that the control authority of the enchantment had fallen into his hands. Feeling the intent, the situation inside and outside the enchantment was gradually projected into his mind. And Zhou Lu quickly realized the problem she needed to face next - the sudden opening of the enchantment allowed her to escape with her life in that killing blow, but this enchantment was not as reliable as Zhou Lu imagined.
"Quick," Zhou Lu hurriedly commanded those ordinary superpowers behind him, "Use light-related skills to attack monsters outside the enchantment!" (To be continued......)
