Chapter 31: The Temple of Death (Part I)

At the beginning of the battle, the most intense state of engagement appeared, like a large symphony, which at first was played in a gentle drizzle, and with the sudden wave of the baton, it instantly entered the climax of the music.

Firelight was dancing everywhere, long chains of bullets fluttering through the hall like fiery snakes, and soldiers firing frantically at every monster that came before their eyes, all while using the cover of the terrain to dodge attacks from the skeleton mages.

These skeleton mages were more troublesome than all the monsters they had encountered before, and they may not be really powerful, but their attacks were quite a headache. When a large number of skeleton mages gathered, the hall was filled with whistling balls of lightning, fireballs, and ice balls, which lit up the hall as if it were a bad storm. A small number of attacks weren't enough to be feared, but when the halls were filled with these terrible storms of lightning, even Gentle felt a headache - unlike normal attacks, elemental attacks were not simple modes of power reduction.

The so-called elemental attack, in layman's terms, is a magic attack.

In the Bloody City, elemental attacks are generally divided into six types: wind, water, fire, earth, electricity, and wood. Among them, the most common are water, fire, and electricity, while wind, earth, and wood are relatively rare.

Elemental attacks do not use the power reduction mode, but the proportional difference mode. Since Bloody City does not publish the damage calculation formula, Shen Yi does not know how to calculate the damage, but what he already knows is that the damage of a thunderball shot by a skeleton mage is only 12 to 15 points, and in the face of an adventurer with a defense of about 30 points, the actual damage caused is about half, instead of the basic 1 point of damage. However, the attack damage value of the elemental attack itself is often not high, so it can be regarded as a typical attack that is not weak when it is strong, and it is not strong when it is weak.

However, when such attacks appear in large numbers, the terrifying side is immediately revealed. Each of these attacks can deal at least seven or eight damage to a soldier or adventurer, and a large number of ranged attacks come together, and the quantitative change immediately turns into a qualitative change.

Bang!

About four or five fireballs slammed into Knight at the same time, sending him flying into the air. When he landed, his whole body was on fire. Seeing that several more thunder orbs flew over, Arias next to him suddenly rushed over, grabbed Knight's hand and pulled it, dodging the deadly attack, and shouted at the same time, "Gamber!"

Gamber was like a firefighter, and the ball of frost flew out and fell into large raindrops in the air. With the help of the rain, Arias hurriedly helped Nate extinguish the flames on his body.

"Be careful!" Knight suddenly nudged Arias, and the two quickly separated, only to see a dark shadow rushing towards them, hitting the open space where they had been before.

It was a half-human, half-cat monster with four sharp saber teeth in its mouth. At this moment, it slammed into the air, and it screamed with a cracked mouth, and pounced on Arias again, moving as fast as lightning.

Just as it was about to pounce on Arias, Barrett in Arias's hand was already aimed at the saber-toothed cat and said coldly: "you/!"

There was a loud gunshot, and Barrett's thumping pattern pierced the saber-toothed cat's mouth, knocking half of its head off. Rao is still immortal, and he jumped up again.

Kafka rushed to the Vulcan cannon in his hand, and a large number of bullets poured down on the saber-toothed cat, causing it to tremble all over its body and finally fall to the ground.

By the light of the gun, Kafka saw that more and more monsters were gathering around him. They also came out of nowhere, not a single one was missing, but now they are swarming in droves. In addition to the skeleton mage and the saber-toothed cat, a tall zombie about two meters tall appeared, and a long chain of lightning bolts hit him when he raised his hand.

"What's that?!" Kafka paused.

"It's a hollow corpse monster!" shouted Old Meng.

The hollow corpse, a type of boss monster among the undead, is also good at long-range elemental attacks, but compared to the thunder fireballs of skeleton mages, this guy's lightning chain is more powerful and terrifying.

A succession of three hollow corpses appeared in front of the passage, and they raised their hands at the same time, and three thick lightning chains pulled out three long lightning bolts, sweeping the hall and tearing at all obstacles.

A bolt of lightning struck a cyborg soldier, and the soldier was so electrified that at least four saber-toothed cats pounced on him at the same time, landing on the transhuman soldier and gnawing at him. A long whip flew out and struck the four saber-toothed cats, whipping them apart. The long whip rolled up, wrapped around the soldier's body and was about to pull it back, but he didn't expect a hollow corpse monster to rush over, grab the long whip, and Gentle failed to save the person with this blow.

The hollow corpse critique bared its teeth in the direction where the whip was flying, as if smiling rather than smiling, and his heart trembled at the sight of tenderness, at least seven or eight skeleton mages had attacked the soldier at the same time.

The soldier seemed to know that he could no longer live, and suddenly grabbed the hollow corpse and rolled on the ground, rolling to the monster group in front of him.

Rumble!

At least seven or eight skeleton mages were killed by the soldier's self-detonation, and two hollow corpses were severely injured, shaking their bodies and screaming in pain, their lightning chains popping and jumping in their hands, and their directionless strafing.

"Cliff!" Frost cried out in heartache.

"Bastard!" Gentle trembled with anger.

Shen Yi is right, the complexity of the Temple of Death is far beyond imagination, the monsters here can actually ambush and surround them, their strength may be limited, but there are many of them, and they are good at cooperating.

At this moment, more and more monsters are still swarming on both sides of the passage, the fast saber-toothed cat is a melee charging monster, and a large number of skeleton mages and hollow corpse monsters form a powerful long-range firepower, which makes the soldiers unable to lift their heads.

Even the gentle old Meng did not dare to rush into the terrifying group of monsters to taste the taste of being besieged.

"Hell, where did they come from? How can there be so many?" one soldier shouted.

"We're surrounded!" Ralph yelled, "Boss, you'd better find a way, I don't think these monsters can be killed!"

The number of monsters killed by them has reached nearly a hundred, but monsters are still popping up from all sides of the passage. The area of the Temple of Death is not large, and the number of monsters is a bit terrifying, and the only explanation is that as a non-main quest area, the monsters here are endless, not fixed.

"We must retreat!" shouted to Gentle Rou, he didn't want to let himself die at the hands of a bunch of garbage monsters.

"No!" replied gently but uncharacteristically, "What we need is not to retreat but to attack!" Frost, command your soldiers, and prepare to fight your way forward!"

"Understood, sir!" Frost shouted back.

Lao Meng shouted: "You don't have to work so hard at all, this is not the main quest!"

Gentle sneer: "If we can't even deal with such a group of garbage, how can we face a more powerful existence?"

"But Shen Yi ......"

"Shen Yi is not here! He can't see the situation here, now this place is under my command! You have to go by yourself, anyway, I will kill to the end!"

Lao Meng was so angry that he scolded: "What a crazy woman!"

"Thanks for the compliment. Gentle Wan'er smiled, the long whip was thrown out, and it was pumping a saber-toothed cat that pounced, and it was torn to pieces, and the saber-toothed cat was slashed hard with a samurai sword, and with a pounce, the saber-toothed cat was cut in two, and the blood stained it gently, but she didn't realize it, and Lao Meng couldn't help but feel cold in her heart.

――――――――――――

At this time, Frost was also in command, preparing to countercharge: "Lyle, can you kill those guys with explosives?"

"It's too far, I'll have to get closer!"

"Michelle, Fercy, open a passage for Lyle with rockets!"

Two rockets flew out at the same time, slicing two streamers of flame through the dim hall before exploding with a bang. As the two rockets cleared the way, Lyle burst out of the pillar bunker and sprinted quickly into the passage ahead.

Ford, Kafka, several soldiers raised their guns and opened fire at the same time, providing cover for Lyle's fire. It's just that this is not a traditional/battlefield after all, and the enemy will not dodge the fierce attacks at all, let alone stop their attacks. A hollow corpse monster unleashed a powerful lightning chain in the face of ferocious gunfire, like an electric snake, scurrying through the air and shooting at Lyle. Lyle jumped to his feet, dodging the lightning chain that swept towards him, but he didn't expect the lightning chain to chase Lyle into the air. Seeing that Lyle couldn't dodge this anymore, there was a huge gunshot, and the hollow corpse monster suddenly shook and fell to the ground and died. The sparkling lightning chain vanished as it struck Lyle's feet, and Lyle landed on the ground as he shouted, "Well done, head!"

He didn't have to look back to know who had fired the shot.

Frost blew the muzzle smoke of the Death Revolver: "Beautiful, indeed. ”

At this time, Lyle had already rushed extremely close to the monster gathering point, and the double D-level skill explosives were activated, and a large bundle of explosives was sent by him to the soles of the skeleton mages. With a loud explosion, a large number of skeleton mages were torn apart, and a gap was blown out of the passage ahead.

"It worked!" Lyle exclaimed excitedly.

"Lyle be careful!" Frost suddenly shouted.

A black shadow suddenly rushed out of the darkness and slammed into Lyle with great speed, it was the black shadow that had attacked Gentle before. The blow came quickly and ferociously, and Lyle was knocked into the air. The dark shadow chased after him, swiping into a brilliant light that pierced Lyle.

As soon as the saber in Lyle's hand was raised, the body protection knife array had already been used, but he didn't expect that the black shadow was extremely fierce, and he actually crashed into the knife formation, and while he was injured, that ray of light also passed through the knife array at the same time, piercing into Lyle's chest, and both sides were injured at the same time. The shadow was so dark that nothing happened, and Lyle screamed and fell. The black shadow was about to chase and kill again, the gunshot, the blood on the black shadow flashed, and it let out a painful roar, and a fierce air flow rolled out, hitting Lyle with a bang, Lyle spit out a mouthful of blood on his back, but the black shadow had taken advantage of the situation to retreat and disappear into the darkness again.

Arias retrieved Barrett, stepped into the air, caught Lyle, and threw him to Frost again, saving him from falling into the horde.

The black shadow attacked fiercely, but the cooperative defense of the summoners was not weak.

"Lyle!" Frost shouted as he hugged Lyle.

Lyle vomited blood: "Mixed ...... Bastard...... I can't see clearly...... I can't see what it is......"

"Don't speak!" Frost pressed Lyle's chest hard, and the skill blessing activated. Even under the protection of the combo technique, Lyle was still seriously damaged, which shows that the guy is not only as fast as a ghost, but also quite powerful in attack.

The most amazing thing is that even in this environment full of gunfire, it is still impossible to see what it is, and there is always a black fog shrouding it.

"Not a cave jumper!" At this point, Gentle could be sure that the one who attacked her earlier was not a so-called cave jumper, and that kind of little thing was definitely not so powerful.

A large number of monsters rushed forward at this time, and Frost Young's hand struck a storm. A tornado swept towards the monsters, sweeping out of the cave in a wild manner, rolling up all the monsters along the way. Frost didn't expect the Storm Skill to play such a huge role in the limited air, and he was visibly stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Rush out!"

The gentle figure flashed, and he had rushed to the front of the passage first, and the skill reincarnation had already been activated.

The shadow of the whip fell from the sky, and the few skeleton mages who were not swept away by the storm were directly drawn into bone fragments under this crazy attack.

Her long whip is used in group combat, and it is simply the sharpest weapon.

Rushing all the way, the cave in front of him has appeared, and he gently shouted: "Follow me into the cave!"

Be the first to rush into the second floor of the Temple of Death.
