Chapter 21: Creatures Corrupted by the Abyss
Holding the flange sword with both hands and wielding it, the desire from the sword became more and more intense, and the weapon combat technique that had been engraved into the soul drove Li Jianghao's body to slide to the side.
The giant bear in front of him smashed down, but didn't hit anything. Li Jianghao had already reached the side of the giant bear and slashed at its neck with the big sword that he had brought up.
The Farlan Greatsword easily sliced through the bear's thick skin, and dark red blood gushed out. The giant bear retreated in pain, and turned around and hugged Li Jianghao again, not intending to give Li Jianghao another chance to dodge.
It can be seen that although this guy looks crazy, he still has plenty of fighting instincts. Something must have mutated these bears, and the hapless ones became sluggish. The lucky guy is like the one in front of him, his strength has been greatly enhanced, and he even uses his hibernating kind as reserve food.
According to Flange's reaction, what brought about these changes was the power of the abyss in Dark Souls. That power is so corrosive that no one has been able to fully understand the nature of the abyss until the end of the Dark Souls trilogy.
At present, these natural creatures have only been corrupted by the slightest corrosion of the abyss, and their physical changes are still within the range that ordinary people can accept. If a body that cannot be expressed in biological form erupts, such as human pus, it will be dangerous to face it, even if you are holding a flange sword.
However, in the current category, which can still be counted as a living creature, as long as it is a living creature, then the weakness is clear and can be killed.
Release a hand and draw a short knife, Skill: Block!
When you time your attack at the right time, you can deliver a critical blow.
That is, the use of a left-handed sword and shield counter, a very unreasonable skill in the game, and after being used proficiently, it can crush most of the enemies and invading players.
As soon as the ability to unlock the props rewarded by the system came up, the proficiency level was full, and at this moment, the attack of the giant bear had just rushed in front of Li Jianghao.
The heavy claws were raised high, bigger than half of Li Jianghao's body. The hunters who were hurriedly dealing with the prey in the trap in the back exclaimed in surprise when they saw that the mayor was not moving in the face of such an attack.
But their exclamation lasted only for a moment, and they were completely shocked by the scene they saw in front of them, and they couldn't make a sound at all.
The mayor simply raised his arm holding the dagger and bowed slightly, then waved his arm.
The short knife easily blocked the giant bear's mutated and elongated claws, and the entire giant bear's huge body seemed to be pressed the stop button, and then Li Jianghao's arm continued to wave, the giant bear's arm was bounced away, and the whole body was raised high, staggered back a few steps, and knelt down in front of Li Jianghao.
This is the moment! After successfully parrying a deadly attack, that is, the execution action, can deal a huge amount of damage, and ordinary enemies will be killed by direct execution.
Li Jianghao turned sideways, his body was controlled by the feeling from the weapon, and the arm holding the big sword flipped and slashed the head of the giant bear hanging down, once, twice!
In the third stroke, the flange greatsword contaminated with the blood of the abyssal enemy directly slashed the giant bear's head, and from the neck where the blood flowed, there was still a trace of heat. The giant bear's body fell to its knees, lifeless.
"It seems easier than I thought, and it's not that difficult." Li Jianghao had a smug smile on his face, originally thinking that he would rely on the continuous combat skills of the Tumbling Dafa and the Flange Great Sword to entangle with the giant bear, waiting for the hunters to free up their hands and kill it again.
As a result, at that moment, he was blessed, and under the guidance of the weapon, he played a parry counterattack, and he killed the giant bear alone, or the abyss corrosion plus version.
Under the reverent gaze of the people, Li Jianghao asked the hunters to tidy up the carcasses of their prey and carry them onto the sleigh. The bear's carcass was so big that it had to be moved some distance forward and buried in a snow pit, marked and brought back the next time it went hunting.
While the hunters were busy, Li Jianghao came to the entrance of the Dark Cave alone, and the tremor transmitted by the Flange Great Sword was already much weaker, as if these creatures corrupted by the abyss themselves were the origin of the greatest abyssal aura here.
It's just that these corrupted creatures have lived here for a long time, causing some abyssal aura to be contaminated inside the Dark Cave. As the bears are hunted, the abyssal aura here loses its source and will soon disappear. Later survivors arrived here without being in danger.
So, where did the abyssal power that originally corrupted these creatures come from?
Li Jianghao is not an optimistic person, according to Bernard's description, during the construction of a certain energy tower camp, there has been an existence that is suspected of being bound by the dark ring and transformed into an undead, and some of the power of the dark soul world has penetrated. His current body is a real immortal.
It is not impossible that the already more aggressive abyss will appear in the world of the Ice Age. However, the power of the abyss is obviously much more dangerous than the undead who have lost their bonfires and cannot be resurrected after being killed.
Sure enough, giving himself ten days to develop ahead of schedule was not that God opened his eyes to pity him, but that he was preparing for a more severe test.
It seems that sooner or later, this strategy management game will become a building tower defense game, and I am afraid that when you are not defending yourself against the cold, you will also have to guard against the attacks of creatures that may be corrupted by the abyss.
The more Li Jianghao thought about these possibilities, the more silent he became, and on the way back with the hunters, he hardly said a word.
No, you can't relax because of the advantages of the current situation, and you have to establish a complete set of defensive measures as soon as possible.
There aren't many parts of the tech tree in the Frostpit Age that can be used as force, and the armed forces that can be organized, such as the guard stations that take the order route and the Guardians of the Faith who follow the faith route, are just ordinary people. There is no chance of victory against these monsters.
He's going to have to come up with some big killers.
At this time, Li Jianghao suddenly thought about why he didn't choose the Imperial Woodcutter Mecha that could be killed in a piece of orcs when he was offered a reward for choosing one of the two.
But it was only for a moment that he didn't dwell on it. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the risk of mutant creatures attacking is just his assumption, and with the continuous development of the camp, the system will unlock more rewards. It's really not good, and he still carries the holy sword directly, and the upper limit of the fire of the holy sword is definitely more than a few physical mortals in seconds.
As long as he prepares himself in advance, he will not be afraid of any difficulties.
Li Jianghao, who had figured it out, raised his head, and unconsciously saw that the smoke from the energy tower could already be seen in his sight, and they were almost home.
