Chapter 41: The Trap
In a ruin in the southwest corner of the City of Ashes.
An adventurer's skeleton was cautiously lying on its stomach in the thick grass and looking out, two spectrophic fires in its eye sockets dripping and turning like eyeballs, and there was even a hint of cunning in them.
When he saw the two figures in the distance walking towards him, the skeleton took a few steps back.
It moves very lightly, slowly, without making a sound, and tiptoes like a backward cat. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe that such agile and dexterous movements can manifest in the body of a skeleton, and although it has no flesh and skin, it does not prevent it from showing its insidiousness with simple body movements.
The two men walking in front of it made it feel intimidated, and it could feel the majestic power surging in each other's body, enough to threaten it.
But instinct drove it to strikeβto kill all the life of its kind in the land.
This is its mission, the mission that has existed since its existence in this land.
Defend your homeland!
It rushed out without hesitation.
"Another one!"
Hong Lang's eyes flashed with a scorching light of excitement.
As the skeleton burst out, the Sword of the Hell King and the Slaughtering Tomahawk suddenly rose into a brilliant mist of light, enveloping the entire target, and the skeleton seemed to rush into a huge web of light and shadow, with nowhere to escape.
Smack!
The skull's mouth makes a soft sound after the bones collide, like a warning cry when people are in danger.
The skeleton's left hand emitted a blazing glow, meeting the massive sword.
The light and shadow dissipate!
The Sword of the Hell King was directly grasped by the skeleton in the palm of his hand.
Hong Lang couldn't help but sigh: This guy's bones are so hard!
However, in the next moment, the big sword in his hand suddenly released a strong light: "Ten Directions Annihilation!"
A magnificent current of air erupted from the sword's body, instantly sending the skeleton into the air.
King Kong next to him had already rushed over, punching the skeleton in the back before it landed, knocking it back into the waves.
The skeleton screamed again in the air, and suddenly pulled a rib from its body, sending a flood of waves as it retreated to the other side.
The flood wave did not flash at all, and with this bone spur attack, it chased after it like lightning while it retreated.
"Charge!"
This charge was just right, launched before the opponent turned, rushed first, the skeleton seemed to be catching up with itself, and just about to retreat from the two-person bag, it was shocked by a fierce rush of the flood wave towards King Kong.
Then a ferocious slash nearly slashed it apart.
The skeleton leaned back, suddenly raised its legs, kicked Hong Lang violently, and then flew up with the help of force, and scurried to the other side.
However, three figures suddenly appeared in front of them, and they were Frost, Gamber and Kafka.
Frost put his hands on it, and the storm suddenly rose, and swept the skeleton directly into the air.
Gamber and Kafka fired both Frost Balls and Healing Bombs.
A ball of light and a ball of water smashed into the skeleton's body at the same time, a little frost condensed on the skeleton's body, and the divine light burned a cloud of charred black ash on the white dry bones.
It's just that the skeleton is still not dead, but instead shoots three bone spurs in the air sharply, attacking the three of them.
He was an adventurer during his lifetime, and although he lost all his equipment and most of his abilities after his death, he developed his own unique tactics after his death.
At the same time as the bone spur shot at the three of them, it rushed through the air and rushed towards the three summoned soldiers, one of them slammed into the shoulder, knocking Gamber into the air, and then the two bone arms suddenly staggered like a machine, stretched into two strange long bone arms, and swept Frost and Kafka away with a sweep, and at the same time stabbed back with his right arm, stabbing the onrushing flood like a spear.
"Axe Combo!"
The tomahawk slashed fiercely at the bone arm, severing the bone arm, and the skeleton was already moving forward without looking back.
"Spiral axe!"
The swift blade of the axe slashed at its spine, nearly tearing it apart.
Still, it swayed its mangled body and scurried forward, so fast that it left the two of them behind in the blink of an eye.
However, at that moment, a bright light suddenly rose in front of him.
A graceful figure is reflected in the turquoise fire.
Then a thunderbolt of light exploded overhead.
Whoa!
It finally shattered into a skeleton that scattered into the sky.
Those two bits of ghostly fire disappeared in his eyes.
βββββββ
"Whew!" Hong Lang let out a long breath: "Damn, this skeleton is really not easy to deal with." β
Although the battle just now was short, Hong Lang King Kong and the others had already taken out the new tactics they had studied for a day yesterday and their new understanding of the battle.
Don't look at it as just a small cooperation, but it is extremely strict with all parties. It is necessary not only to have tacit understanding, but also to have understanding, but also to have long-term skillful cooperation.
Previously, Hong Lang and King Kong pinched the skeleton and sent the target opponent to their comrades in a concussive manner, which is actually a new form of cooperation, using good complements to deal with those targets who ignore special effects, constantly forming a pinch, which can theoretically play the opponent to the death.
It's just that this kind of cooperation has just begun, and many aspects still need to be improved, and they also need to be familiar with each other. It was precisely because of the short time and there were still too many rusts in terms of cooperation that King Kong failed to grab the position for the second time in time just now, so that the skeleton had the opportunity to break out of the two-person trap and forcibly summon the blockade of the soldiers.
It's a pity that it broke through the blockade of summoning soldiers, but it failed to break through the last blockade of gentleness.
"Well done!" King Kong ran over and slapped Gentle in the face.
Gently closed her eyes and felt it for a while, as if she was still recalling the shortcomings of the combined use of the whip knife during the blow just now. After a while, he said, "It's going to be prettier." β
"Unfortunately, nothing was given. Hong Lang kicked the bone rack on the ground.
At this moment, the bones that had been kicked by the flood suddenly moved.
Hong Lang was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was dazzled and was about to look again.
I saw that the skeletons scattered all over the place suddenly surged outward at the same time, and the brush recondensed into a new skeleton in the distance.
"Hell, it's not dead!" Flood shouted.
Every adventurer becomes an undead creature with its own uniqueness, and this guy in front of him will cheat to death, obviously in terms of intelligence, it is far higher than they imagined!
The speed at which the skeleton condensed and formed was extremely fast, and at the same time as it was condensed, the two dark flames in the eye sockets lit up again, but they were obviously much dimmer than before.
It glanced back and saw that the three had rushed towards it, suddenly grimacing at them.
The movement stunned everyone, and then it turned and sped forward.
"Damn, by a dead skeleton!" King Kong was stupid too.
Despite the lack of flesh and blood, King Kong could clearly see the grimace and the meaning behind it.
That was clearly mocking them.
"Chase! Lao Tzu must kill this bastard!" Hong Lang scolded angrily.
Even if he doesn't like to use his brain, he won't accept that he was being played by a dead man.
The three of them frantically chased after the skeleton, leaving Frost and the others behind in a blink of an eye.
After flying all the way, everyone realized that the speed of this skeleton was even faster than it had shown before.
This dead skeleton is still pretending to be forced!
Not only that, but it even looked back from time to time while running, and its upper and lower jaws trembled together, making a series of click-clattering sounds, as if it was scolding something.
Gentleness was also enraged by the arrogant skeleton, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Help me!" she screamed and jumped.
King Kong rushed up, grabbed Gentleness violently, and threw her forward like a shot put, and at the same time, the flood came first, and hit Gentleness with both palms behind her, adding force to her again.
Under the joint efforts of the two, the gentle person had shot the skeleton like an arrow from the string, instantly closing the distance, seeing that there was still a line of distance from the skeleton, her toes tapped the ground, the high-speed neural response system activated, accelerated again, and finally rushed to the back of the skeleton.
The blade of power conjured up a sword light in the sky, slashing directly at the opponent.
The skeleton suddenly turned around and clawed at the blade of power, unexpectedly blocking it.
Gentle and dumbfounded: How is it possible?
I saw that the skeleton suddenly turned over and jumped up, the bone joint of her right hand suddenly stretched out, and hit Wen Rou with a hard punch, shocking her to fly backwards.
However, she couldn't really fly, because the skeleton had already taken advantage of the momentum, grabbed the gentle arm again, pulled her down again, and threw her backhand, falling towards herself and hitting the way.
Then, an impact accelerated, instantly rushed to Gentle's side, and hit Gentle Rou in the lower abdomen with a punch, and a majestic force poured into Gentle's body, she couldn't bear it anymore, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The skeleton kept moving, and had already kicked her dozens of meters away, and then caught up again, another series of pursuits.
It's like playing football, constantly throwing gentleness forward, then chasing, then throwing, and then chasing, so as not to give the rear a chance to trap itself, and it is obvious that it is quite experienced in this tactic of being outnumbered, and it must be a good individual fighter before he dies.
"Damn, it's a high-level immortal!" King Kong had already cried.
This series of attacks is extremely sharp, even in the second difficulty, it is rare to see anyone who can do it, and it is definitely only used by adventurers who have mastered at least one advanced technique before their death.
From the previous battles, King Kong and the others have seen that after the death of the adventurer, most of the skills and equipment can no longer be retained, but most of the attributes, combat consciousness and martial arts abilities can be retained.
At this moment, the skeleton's movements were fierce, agile, and high-speed coherent, and at a glance it was not the strength that a low-difficulty adventurer could have.
At this moment, the skeleton had thrown up gentleness three times, and at the same time it also jumped up, and the bone claw of its right hand condensed, and it actually condensed into a blue glow, which was obviously some kind of advanced attack skill, and at this moment, it was like a sharp blade and thrust towards Gentle's chest.
If this blow hits, it could even gouge out her heart.
It was then that the light in the gentle eyes was even brighter.
"Do you really think ...... Is that enough?"
The shadow of the whip suddenly rose in the sky, waving out wisps of brilliance, as if it were a thousand threads, winding it. At the same time, the gentle body flashed rapidly, turning into a phantom in the air, shooting straight at the skeleton.
"Ice Burst!"
Bang!
As the blade of power slashed down ferociously, it slashed at the skeleton's sternum.
Bang bang!
Four sternums were severed with a gentle knife.
The skeleton suddenly flew up, slapped Gentle with a backhand claw, knocked her flying, and rushed forward again.
This time, it's really going to run.
Strike!
Gentle himself also spat out a mouthful of blood, his body shook a few times, and he almost sat on the ground.
King Kong rushed over to support Gentle: "How are you?"
Gently and with difficulty, he shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just that I used my ability too much just now, and it will be fine later...... This guy is a high-level immortal, killing it will definitely pay off, don't let it run!"
"Don't worry!" King Kong rushed forward at the same time as the flood wave.
on the tower.
Shen Yi looked at all this coldly.
"There's something weird about that skeleton. Pandora's voice next to her suddenly sounded.
"Well, it's deliberately leading them into a trap. Shen Yi replied indifferently.
"Then you don't remind them?"
"I can't be their babysitter forever, they have to learn to face it all on their own. Don't worry, I know what that trap is, it doesn't pose a threat to their lives, but it can teach them a proper lesson. β
"That's your team, not mine, so I don't have anything to worry about. β
At this moment, Shen Yi's computer in the palm of his hand suddenly emitted a didi alarm sound.
"Warning: Target is moving, approaching, approaching!"
On the screen, the Colonel and Catwoman have begun to move towards the City of Ashes.
Shen Yi frowned: "He's really a guy who can join in the fun." β
