Volume 20, Chapter 150, Strange Paladin(1/2)
As I stepped on, the communication on Rose was interrupted directly. As a result, I was so scared that I thought Rose and the others were under my feet, but I stepped on it and caused a landslide to be buried. Fortunately, after the communication was interrupted for more than ten seconds, I finally heard the sound of Rose again, but obviously the situation on her side was not good because I heard her coughing.
"What's going on? Why are you coughing?"
Rose coughed several times before answering, "We are near you. The vibration just now was so great. A lot of soil fell from our heads! There was a passage in front that collapsed half of it, but fortunately it didn't block the road!"
"It doesn't matter if you block it. You dig it upwards and fire a magic bullet into the sky after you get to the ground, and I will find you."
Rose thought about it but refused and said, "No, we can't go up."
"Why?" I was surprised why Rose refused my offer.
"It's not that I don't want to meet, but what if the system separates us? Who can guarantee that the task has only one main line? What if this is a branch task?"
The so-called branch task is that a task is divided into many branch tasks. All the branch tasks must be completed. The main task can be successful. Of course, some branch tasks do not need to complete all branch tasks, but completing them can improve the task evaluation or reduce the difficulty of the final main task. For example, there is a very classic guild task in China that is to eliminate mutant monsters. The monster in this task is initially invincible. No matter how strong your combat power is, you can't beat it because it is immune to all attacks and cannot be killed at all. However, there is a key npc in this task. This guy will make a drug. As long as he sprinkles this drug on the beast meat and let the monster eat it, the invincible state of the monster will temporarily disappear for a while. But this npc is
When you are found, you are about to die of illness. If you ask him to prescribe medicine, you have to help him find medicine to extend his life. The process of finding medicine requires a variety of ingredients. You can find them all or only find a part. However, if you don’t find them, the NPC will have a short reply time after taking the medicine, and then he will die during the process of making poison. Then the amount of poison you get that removes the invincible state will decrease. If the amount of medicine is insufficient, the monster will quickly recover from the invincible state. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the task. After all, the task time is shortened. Tasks like this are typical distributed tasks. You can complete all the branches or only complete part of the line. But the less you complete, the more difficult the final task is, and it is possible that the main task will become an unsolvable task.
Although we have entered the task space now, the system of task content has not given us any prompts, so we can only bump around like headless flies. Rose and the others now seem to be separated from us in the underground passage, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no side tasks for a distributed task there, so we cannot let them come out at all. Otherwise, they may miss a branch task directly.
After thinking it through, I nodded and said, "It seems that I think it's simple. Since that's the case, you can continue to move along the channel and contact me if you have any questions.
"OK."
After cutting off the communication, I and Hongyue and the others began to wander around aimlessly in the forest. Just now, Rose and I used the secret chat mode, so they all heard it. It was just that we don’t know what the task is now, so we don’t know which direction to go. We can only find a direction to try our luck first. Generally speaking, if the tasks released by the system are not prompted, it must be a must-have minefield, that is, turn the task trigger point into a closed circle. No matter which direction you go, you will always encounter the task. The system does not give the task prompts to add the exploration elements of the task, and it will not really make the player unable to find the task.
After we walked in the forest for a while, Hongyue first remembered that we could summon local undead to ask about the situation. Then, without waiting for our answer, she found a undead directly under a big tree next to her, and then used the undead resurrection technique to awaken it to ask about the situation here.
Originally, there was no problem with this decision. Generally, I like to do this when I can't find a mission or a path in the game. In fact, it's not just me, but many people in our guild like to do this. First, because of the dual role of Aisinger's world-class library and the Temple of Chaos and Order, almost all the players of our guild have learned the low-level undead spell, the second reason is that this spell is very useful. When I can't find a path or a task information, I can help you eight times. After a while, this has become the standard way of handling our guild.
However, the standard way to deal with it elsewhere is a problem here. In fact, the problem is not the undead that Hongyue woke up, but the group of humans who just appeared.
Just after Hongyue woke up the undead, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the woods next to him. Then they saw Hongyue pulling the undead's hand out of the ground. As a result, the group of people directly took the battle posture without saying a word.
"Evil Necromancer, prepare to accept the judgment of justice." There were only three people in the other party's team, which was smaller than ours, and you could tell that their strength was far inferior to us, depending on the equipment. However, the opponent's aura was not affected by the number and strength at all. The woman in a white robe, who stood behind the team, directly held a scepter and shouted loudly. Then the two guys in front of her who looked a bit like the Templar raised the tower shield in front of her and rushed towards us. Looking at their posture, it seemed that they were not the few people, but the few people.
Although we didn't figure out what was going on, we couldn't stand here and have someone fight, right? So... So the normal two knights fell down, and then the little girl who was suspected to be a priest also lay down together.
I said before that the combat power of these three is not as good as ours, and the number of people is small, so the winner is almost separated in one second. Looking at the two knights rushing up and the one who was reciting the eulogy behind, Hongyue directly hit her with a mental impact. Then the two knights didn't snort, as if the running robot suddenly had a power outage, and they flopped out in a flash, and then they slid along the grass on the ground all the way to our feet. The priest lady behind them
Because of her strong mental power, she was not as bad as she could be knocked down with a mental impact. But even so, she still got hit and sat on the ground with a soft body, and her eyes were a little distracted, and she was obviously seriously affected. A priest who had no one to protect her was still a little confused. What kind of combat power do you expect her to have? The guy from Ye Zhizi teleported over and tapped her head with a staff, and then the man directly followed the two knights and fled together.
Although we instantly brought down three guys, we were in a bad mood at this time because we felt the violent vibration of the ground.
Generally speaking, the ground vibration is so obvious, there must be a large group of people or monsters approaching. But according to the general routine, we just got three scum, and then a large group of creatures emerged here. If the system is not bored and uses these three guys to adjust our mood, then these three must be the task preparation. Then, according to the general practice, most of their companions will appear in the future, and then these people will decide their attitude towards us based on the routines prepared by the system. If they are destined to be hostile to us, then they will definitely mistakenly think that we have killed their companions and then go to war with us. If the system defaults to them as friendly forces with us, then this matter will probably be explained clearly. However, based on the difficulty of the task prompted by the system, we are now basically no longer illusions about the latter situation.
Sure enough, just as we discovered the problem, a large group of knights rushed out of the woodland ahead.
These people were all dressed up with the two people at our feet, and there were obviously guys wearing white robes in the team, so...
"They killed the Templars! They are pagans." As a guy in white robe shouted, the guys behind him instantly entered a state of madness. They rushed up without looking at the people standing opposite him. They looked like we were tied lambs, and they felt like they could knead them at will.
Of course, their feelings are their feelings. Our strength will not decline because of their lack of attention. Looking at the crowd rushing towards us, among us, except for Ye Zhizi, who doesn't like fighting and doesn't understand the situation, no one else has any intention of explaining. Hongyue has already started chanting the spell.
"I'll do this." I pressed the Hongyue who was preparing to cast the spell with one hand. I gently rubbed the evil dragon on my fingers to protect me. The purple-black death fog instantly covered the large area around me, and the Qilin Warriors who followed me appeared in the woodland.
The strength of these knights is very low, basically the miscellaneous soldiers among the miscellaneous soldiers. There is no advantage except that the number is quite acceptable. With our genius, even if we stand there and do not fight back or move, we probably have to cut off our magic shield for an hour. It is not cost-effective to waste magic power for such miscellaneous soldiers, so I simply let the Kirin Warriors deal with these knights instead. Anyway, the combat power of the Kirin Warriors really cannot be used when they encounter bosses. It is better to use the best things to help us block the miscellaneous soldiers.
Although the level of the Kirin Warrior is not high and is basically useless when dealing with B0ss, the so-called Templar Knights in front of him are really a bit unexpected. I originally thought that the Kirin Warriors were going to fight them for a while, but who knew that as soon as they met, the Kirin Warriors on my side pushed them straight over like chopping melons and vegetables. The knights had no power to resist at all. It felt like a group of kindergarten children playing charge face to face with a group of bulls, and those paladins were the children in kindergartens. They were almost instantly broken by the Kirin Warriors, and the combat powers on both sides were not at the same level.
"The strength of these knights is too bad, right?" Sakura Yu Shenkai looked at my Kirin Warrior and ravaged the Paladin like chopping melons and vegetables, and couldn't help but complain.
Hongyue guessed: "I guess these people are used to lead to follow-up tasks, and their charge may just be just a formality."
I nodded and said, "It should be like this, otherwise it wouldn't explain how the strength of these people is so bad. The combat power is only at level four or five hundred, right? If we just wipe it casually, it will be done!"
Because the strength of both sides is not of the same level at all, the battle ends quickly, and the battle ends in less than ten minutes. The Kirin Warriors suffered minor damage, only a dozen people were injured and did not die. The Paladins on the opposite side died for more than eighty times, and about twenty more struggled on the ground. If they let it go, they would soon die.
I walked over to look at the guy who was struggling recently, and then stepped on his mouth and organized his rolling all over the ground. Then I added a little strength to make the guy spit out blood immediately.
"Say, who are you?"
"Bah... I want to purify you heretics..." Although that guy has become so injured, he has no less crazy energy, and it seems to be even more exaggerated.
I helplessly increased the strength on my feet and trampled on the entire guy's mouth. Then I looked at the corner of his mouth with black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and stretched out his hand to die with my eyes open. "It seems that it is impossible to get information from the prisoner."
Hongyue also nodded and said, "These are obviously crazy believers. Even if they die, they cannot threaten them. Fortunately, their combat effectiveness is relatively trash. Although they cannot get information, they will not pose any threat to us."
Yingyu Shenqi said: "But these are just small minions at first sight. We kill so many at once, what should we do if we pull out the b0ss?"
"We are not afraid of b0ss and just can't find the task. If b0ss qualifies in advance, it would be easier."
"It makes sense." Yingyu Shenqi and Hongyue nodded in agreement. Only Ye Zhizi didn't care about our chat but instead studied the corpses on the ground there.
Speaking of which, although Ye Zhizi doesn't like fighting, he is not a pacifist. The reason why Ye Zhizi doesn't like fighting may be because he is lazy, not because he is afraid of blood. You should know that this guy is a necromancer. Have you ever seen a timid necromancer who is afraid of blood?
"Hey, I said, "What are you studying there?" Hongyue saw that we had been discussing here for a long time but was rumbling over the body, and couldn't help but ask.
Ye Zhizi, who was originally studying the corpse quietly, heard Hongyue's words and immediately turned around excitedly and said, "Come on, I found something fun."
"Funny?" Hongyue and Sakura Yu Shenkai were both stunned. The first time I heard that someone said that the corpse was fun, Ye Zhizi probably knew where they were stupid, so he quickly explained: "I'm not talking about the corpse!"
"Not a corpse? Then what are you studying for so long?"
"This." Ye Zhizi directly removed the xiong armor from the body in front of him, and then shook it in front of us.
I took the xiong armor curiously and looked at it, then tried to add some strength to my hands. As a result, the xiong armor was instantly bent, and the quality was obviously not very good. "Is there anything special about a piece of metal with a very soft texture?" I said and handed the xiong armor back.
After taking the xiong armor, Ye Zhizi spread out and looked at the inner wall of the xiong armor, then pointed to a small, almost invisible symbol in one of the less visible positions and said, "Do you recognize this?"
I took the xiong armor and looked closer and carefully. As a result, I found the problem. I quickly put my hand on and tried it, and immediately confirmed my guess. Hongyue asked curiously, "What the hell is it?"
I handed over the xiongjia directly and said, "It should be the spirit gathering array."
"What?" Hongyue was also stunned for a moment, and then she confirmed that the thing carved on the xiong armor was indeed the spirit gathering array.
The so-called spirit gathering array is actually a magic array that gathers spirits, but it is not powerful enough to suck the spirits of living people out of the body. Its only function is to suck the spirits into the array after someone dies nearby and store them in the form of spirits. It can be said that the spirit gathering array is a disguised magic array that mainly absorbs spirits, but this kind of thing is usually used by the undead mage. After all, "Zero" is a magic game, and all kinds of creatures have it after death.
Spiritual Hun, and this spirit Hun can be reincarnated or resurrected, but once the spirit Hun is decomposed and absorbed by the spirit gathering array, the creature will be completely erased in this world. Therefore, using other people's spirit Hun is a very evil thing. This is why we used the god Hun for Hades before and were like thieves. After all, even obtaining the spirit Hun of ordinary people is very evil, and it is even more dangerous to get the god Hun, and maybe they will get angry with the gods.
Although the spirit gathering array itself is not a particularly powerful magic array, it has a very single function and is very difficult to set, and almost even mages who are new to magic arrays can arrange it. However, it is a bit incredible that such a magic array that is almost exclusively written on the undead mage will appear on the paladins who are incompatible with the undead mage.
"How did you find this little thing?" Hongyue asked Ye Zhizi after seeing the spirit gathering array on the xiong armor. Ye Zhizi did not answer but directly pulled a xiong armor from a corpse next to it for Hongyue. As a result, Hongyue asked in surprise after reading it, "Not all of them are there?"
Ye Zhizi nodded. "I have checked more than a dozen corpses, and each of them has such a magic circle."
"That's not accidental!" I frowned and said, "It seems that we are already very close to our mission."
Ye Zhizi also nodded and said, "At least I know what to do next."
Anything that has doubts is usually found if you pay attention to the investigation. Now that we have found such a big doubt, we just need to find the source of the doubts. As for the source, it is of course the other party’s organization location.
Although these guys in front of us could not provide us with information at all, it was too easy to find where they came from. I directly released Bailang and let him track the smell and searched in reverse. I quickly found a battle site. This place was obviously a small village, but now it has become a ruin. All the buildings were burned, and the ground was covered with blood, but there was no corpse.
This village is wrapped in woodland and is not outside the forest. This means that it is obviously a secluded village that is isolated from the world. However, even if it is secluded, Ye is still slaughtered. This means that the enemy of the people is very cruel. In addition, we just chased the breath of the paladins and found here in reverse, so it is not difficult to guess that these people should have been killed by the paladins. After all, the other party is a crazy believer. Compared with ordinary bad people, such people are sometimes more crazy and cruel. After all, no matter how bad an ordinary bad person is, the basic morality and likes and dislikes of human beings will always affect his behavior, but crazy believers will not. They think that everything they do is just and correct, so they will not have any psychological burden when they kill or harm others, and there will also be a kind of psychological pleasure of doing good things. So it can be said that these guys are actually more dangerous than perverted murderers.
Although there are no living people in the village and there are not even corpses left, a new aura appears from here. The paladins we killed just now did not bring the corpses of the villagers, which means they must have divided the troops. A special person brought the corpses back, and the smell left by these people when they left was easier to find. Not to mention Bailang, I smelled obvious signs of bloody smell extending out, so we easily chased after the bloody smell.
Because we were carrying a large number of corpses and the roads in the forest were not very flat, the other party's speed was naturally not fast. Compared with them, our speed was much faster, so in less than twenty minutes we caught up with the guys who left first.
In order to figure out the situation first, we stopped after discovering the opponent's team from afar, and then I sent the ghost bug and darts out to detect the enemy situation first.
According to the feedback information, although the number of people in this team is more than the group of people we killed, there are obviously more than half of the logistics personnel in the crowd here, which means that there are not many of them who can fight.
In addition to personnel information, we also found that in this team, except for cavalry, all of which are used in horse-drawn carriages, and these are two-wheeled carriages specially prepared to adapt to the woodland. This carriage is very small and can move in the woodland, but because the car body is small and has only two wheels, part of the load will be concentrated on the horses that pull the body of the car. This structural feature determines that this carriage cannot run fast at all, and now these cars are obviously overloaded, and the bodies of the car are all piled up like haystacks - corpses. Yes, it is not supplies or treasures, but corpses. Corptos of all ages and various ways of death. Blood drips on the ground along the gaps under the car body, and the smell we tracked along the way is mostly from this.
"These guys are so perverted!" I couldn't help but say after seeing the synchronous visual signal.
Although Hongyue and the others couldn't see what I saw, they also knew that the other party was pulling the body of a village person, so they could understand the situation by imagining it.
I turned my head and looked at Hongyue and the others, and asked, "Would we follow them out of the forest before we talk or what should we do?"
Hongyue thought for a moment and said, "First use her ultimate move to destroy the corpses, then destroy the opponent, leaving a few more powerful ones and we will run away."
As soon as Hongyue said that, I understood what she meant. The other party was walking on this road with such a large pile of corpses, and the speed was definitely slow. If we just followed them like this, we might not be able to leave the forest until night. Our mission time was limited, so we could not delay it like this. However, if we took action to destroy the corpses and killed most of them, the remaining people would naturally think of going back to the headquarters to report the news after we left. The number of personnel on the other party naturally became faster after the reduction. Even if we did not run faster than our mounts, at least it would be much faster than dragging the carriage like this.
After thinking about the plan, the plan started to be implemented. The work of destroying the carriage is naturally the only one who is Yingyu Shenqi. Here we are the only one who has the energy-shaping spells and Hongyue are more powerful, but Hongyue herself is also good at single-to-one combat, so she gave the ultimate move to Yingyu Shenqi to take charge.
After preparing for a while, Sakura Yu Shenqi threw a super ultimate move directly from the side of the opponent's team, and then half of the convoy disappeared with a bang. After Sakura Yu Shenqi's ultimate move, Hongyue immediately used powerful single-body attack magic to blow all the carriages in the remaining half of the convoy.
The team that suffered such a blow suddenly became in a mess, but it was still behind them. Just after the group of people confirmed that they had been attacked, they suddenly found that their companions who had just been attacked had actually climbed up again. Why did they confirm that those people were dead without checking? Have you ever seen people whose muscle tissue on the front was removed and their internal organs fell to the ground and still stood up and moved?
"The Necromancer!" A knight shouted to remind everyone, but his voice not only failed to make others more alert, but also attracted Hongyue's key care. A black magic missile shot out directly from the dense forest. The knight blocked the shield in time at the last moment, but he underestimated the power of Hongyue's magic.
With a loud bang, the guy instantly burst into a red mist in the sky. Only two broken tui that reached the knee joint were left on the spot. The part above was completely gone.
After the leader was killed, the originally chaotic team became even more chaotic, and the corpses that had just gotten up also began to move. At first, these guys were stiff and slow, and they seemed to be easy to deal with, but after a few steps, their speed began to increase significantly, and then the jogging gradually turned into a wild run. Finally, some corpses actually put down their hands and started running like monkeys, and the speed was surprisingly fast. Several people who were close to each other were knocked down by their previous companions before they could react. Then there was a shrill howl and blood and blood splattering.
"I was wondering how you kid got on the combat power list before. I understood a little bit myself first." I patted Ye Zhizi's shoulder and said.
Many people don’t understand the ranking of Night’s combat power list, but it seems that there is some reason now. At least his riot zombies are definitely not comparable to those of ordinary necromancers’ summoned zombies. This powerful ultimate move is definitely a powerful skill in multiplayer melee or guild battle mode, and the more people, the more useful it is.
Seeing that fewer and fewer people could stand in the convoy, Ye Zhizi turned around and asked me: "Is it almost done?"
Hongyue said on the other side: "You can start to let your zombies die appropriately, otherwise you will not be able to withdraw later."
"OK."
With Ye Zhizi's control, the zombies who had previously been flexible in their movements quickly slowed down again. Then a zombie was chopped down to the ground by a paladin. As the first zombie fell to the ground, the people around them gradually reacted and began to destroy nearby zombies one after another. However, because these people's strength was really not very good, even Ye Zhizi deliberately controlled the zombies to die, but still killed more than half of the remaining people. In the end, when all the zombies were killed, there were only four people left on the scene, which really made us feel helpless. When we encounter such a weak enemy, it is even more difficult to deal with than a strong enemy, because if we are not careful, we will play too much and kill them.
After killing all the zombies, these people immediately began to check that they had no corpse and did not turn into companions. After confirming that there were no living people, the four guys finally divided into two groups. One group ran towards the previous village, and the other group left in the direction of the previous team. Hongyue and I just took a look and understood their intention. The two guys heading towards the village must have gone to find the team we killed before. As for the two who left in the original direction, they should have gone back to the headquarters to report the message.
Of course, we would not keep the two guys who went to find us to kill. After killing them directly, we chased them in the direction where the other two guys left. Although these two guys were already light and simple, they were just riding horses after all, and they could not compare with our mounts. Nan was soon chased by us.
"I don't know where these guys' headquarters are, I hope they won't be too far away." Ye Zhizi said.
To be continued...
