Chapter 159 Sea of ??Skeletons
According to what Xiwei said, the traps dug by Youan and others showed a narrow top and wide bottom, which was a bit like a conical bottle in chemical experiments. This can effectively prevent the abyss snake from climbing up from inside. You should know that the movement of the abyss snake is not only able to squirm through the abdominal scales like ordinary snakes, but also uses the hard ribs under its flesh as legs, and crawl quickly like centipedes. If the hole dug is too shallow, or the top is wide and the bottom is narrow and has a little slope, it may rush up in an instant. In that case, the city guards who are now surrounding the pit will be reimbursed...
However, although the magicians in this dungeon are not strong, the amount of magic power seems to be very sufficient in a town.
However, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on a pit to kill the abyss snake, who is a high-level abyss creature. Not to mention anything else, the venom of the snake can dissolve a passage to escape on the edge of the pit.
Almost the moment Xiwei flew out of the cave entrance, all the mud bricks and stones around the cave entrance exploded violently, pouring into the pit, and buried the abyss snake in an instant!
Immediately, other idle earth element magicians began to add bricks and tiles to this live burial. While burying the snake alive, they also placed more rocks and soil into it. Finally, they pressed the land more seriously. It was just a soil made of soil and bricks and stone debris. However, with their efforts, the hardness of the ground has exceeded that of ordinary rocks.
"Is that guy dead?" You An exhaled a long sigh. The person who was most nervous in this battle was not Xiwei who fought with the Abyss Snake. It was not the earth element magicians who had processed and added points, but him who had been uniting everyone and allocating their work.
The magician who is good at flames will expel the weak demons around him, the magician who is good at wind element will help transport the bricks and soil dug out of the trap, the magician who is good at water element will provide care, healing and auxiliary work for others, and the magician who is good at soil element will be responsible for digging holes and filling the pits in the end.
Although there are exceptions, this is basically the case. Everyone divided the work and cooperated, and finally successfully buried the Abyss Snake alive in the ground for hundreds of meters!
"No, it shouldn't be dead yet." Civize frowned and looked at the land beneath his feet.
In fact, what he was looking at was not the land, but the projection screen floating in the air.
It is very simple to confirm whether the Abyss Snake dies. Just look at whether the corresponding task is in the completed state. Unfortunately, even though they buried the Abyss Snake alive, the task of killing the Abyss Snake on the Xiwei mission panel still did not show the completed state.
But I think so, the abyss environment is far harsh than the main plane, and the abyss creatures are far more adaptable than the creatures in the main world.
It is not surprising that an existence at the level of the Abyss Snake can hold its breath for three days and three nights. It seems impossible to suffocate it to death in a short period of time.
Of course, Xiwei didn't plan to dig the other party out of the ground and kill it again. Regardless of whether it could be killed or not, even the workload that would be to dig it out would not be able to bear.
I asked Yu'an for some of the currency in this dungeon, that is, the elemental crystal fragments - this thing is a good thing. Whether it is detonation to kill and set fire, or giving a weapon a certain power through inlay and enchantment, the most important thing is that it can also summon the fist of the Void Emperor - and then Xiwei ran in another direction.
This time it is east, which is where the Skeleton King is located.
After all, Xiwei has no confidence in challenging the Demon Lord, so compared to the Demon Lord with great combat power, it is easier to fight the Skeleton King who likes to call a group of little brothers to come and rob and mess around.
It is different from the Abyss Snake who rushed forward and crushed everything in one breath. When Xiwei arrived east, from a distance, it had turned into a white ocean. Many city guards were separated into small groups, and were trapped in the ocean of skeletons mixed with scattered low-level demons and struggling desperately.
There are all kinds of skeletons in the sea of skeletons. The weakest level of the skeleton is only level 1. As long as ordinary people take a weapon, they can break it up. The strongest level of the skeleton wizards can easily launch a series of three-ring indigenous magic bone magic.
The Skeleton King himself is particularly eye-catching because of his huge body that is nearly three meters tall, in the sea of skeletons with an average altitude of only one meter seven.
But even so, the city guards could no longer stay in the sea of skeletons, let alone move to the other party to attack the other party.
Sivi also tried to snipe the Skeleton Monarch from a distance, but it had no effect at all.
Not to mention the high-intensity magic resistance brought by the Skeleton King, every time Xiwei attacks, a skeleton or something else will jump out to block the attack for the Skeleton King.
Continuing to watch from a distance would not help the situation. He took a breath of the magic potion that was left with few left, and then ran towards the skeleton sea!
As the saying goes, many ants bite the elephant to death. There are only three ways to defeat a quantitative enemy: have more quantity than him, or have quality that can ignore the degree of quantity, or have a certain quantity and also have a good quality.
Xiwei couldn't achieve the first two. Even if he could summon the shadow servants and tree people, the number here was still overwhelmingly unfavorable. Before Xiwei was promoted to a great magician, it was impossible to have the ability to truly ignore the level of magnitude, so there would be only one way left.
Gather the city guards who are in a separated state to form a force that can fight against the skeleton sea, and then use this force to directly kill the skeleton king!
There is also a saying that the fittest survives the fittest. Those weak city guards have long died in battles. All those who can persist until now are powerful people. This can be seen from the fact that they have been surrounded by the sea of skeletons for so long but still maintain their outstanding combat power.
Moreover, Xiwei's choice to try to kill the Skeleton King also has his own considerations.
The protection of the tower among the five tasks is the most random. Xiwei has no way to guarantee whether the tower will be pushed out by other bosses when he is fighting the boss. Among the three killing targets, the Abyss Snake was buried alive by himself and the city guards in the northwest. It took a long time to suffocate it to death. At least Xiwei can't wait now, and it can't be dug out, so naturally it can't be killed. There are three remaining tasks, among which the difficulty of killing the Demon Lord and the Skeleton King is half a pound, and the easiest one is to kill 500 miscellaneous soldiers. Xiwei has now had a kill of over 200. It is considered to be half a dozen.
However, even the task of killing 500 miscellaneous soldiers has a time limit, which must be completed within one hour. Because of the battle with the Abyss Snake, the remaining time is less than twenty minutes.
If Xiwei ignored the Skeleton King and the Demon Lord, it would not be less than 500 miscellaneous soldiers in twenty minutes, but this would be equivalent to giving the boss twenty minutes of free attack time in disguise. Judging from the combat effectiveness of the previous city guards, the tower would inevitably be unable to be protected. In this way, Xiwei had to fight the Demon Lord and the Skeleton King at the same time in order to complete the task...
However, if you try to kill the Skeleton King according to the plan just now, these dense skeletons can definitely be used to gather the five hundred miscellaneous soldiers, and at the same time there is no need to waste time. If you can take advantage of the opportunity to kill the Skeleton King, you will kill two birds with one stone!
Therefore, Xiwei gave up observing the demon lord and directly attacked the skeleton king.
It is not difficult to break into the Skeleton Sea. The strength of the Skeleton is too weak. Xiwei used only a magic missile with ten times the power to blast a way out in the Skeleton Sea. However, when he penetrated into the Skeleton Sea, the pressure around him suddenly increased by a factor of magnitude.
There are skeleton swordsman (determination level 6), skeleton heavy armored soldiers (determination level 7), skeleton shadow assassin (determination level 8), skeleton great swordsman (determination level 9), etc., and cannon fodder meat shield control and output are all available. What's more, there are skeleton mages (determination level 15) who smashed him with magic and repaired the skeletons around Xiwei, which made his spiral space even more stretched. Even after he improved, the magic barrier that could barely cover the whole body also cracked due to too many attacks, and he was about to be unable to hold on.
However, Xiwei has experienced many dungeons at least. He has been struggling in battle for nearly two months and has a rich combat experience. He will not be helpless just because of a little skeleton.
While the magic barrier was ruptured, Xiwei used a repulsive technique to bounce all the surrounding skeletons. This magic has no lethality, but when surrounded, the effect is better than many powerful magic. If you use the powerful magic at this time, you will be hurt because you are too close to the other party. You can only drink poison to quench your thirst.
When a small open space appeared around Sevi, he first added a magic barrier to himself, and then used a magic blunt strike to hit the skeleton on his right hand. In that direction, there was a team of city guards separated by the sea of skeletons.
By relying on magic and fighting, Xiwei arrived next to a very damaged building. The house was an ordinary two-story house. The walls around were originally white, but now there were many yellowish places, which looked like patches were put on a white wall. In fact, this could be considered a patch. When a skeleton dug a hole somewhere in the house, the city guards hiding inside would seal the hole with earth element magic. As soon as they went, the house was covered with such patches.
Fortunately, there is no skeleton mage who can use the three-ring magic to target them, otherwise this level of defense would be destroyed in an instant.
This team is the weakest of the surviving city guards now, with members of a water element magician, two earth element magicians and a combat magician.
The combat mage is responsible for blocking the door, keeping all the skeletons out, and keeping all the skeletons out. The water elemental magician is responsible for providing blessings and assistance to the combat mage, and at the same time, when the battle situation is tight, it will share a little bit for the combat mage.
The two earth elemental magicians are busy repairing and occasionally throwing a few dust balls outside the window. Although they are not powerful, they are better than nothing...
At first, the city guards inside the house were very happy to see Xiwei and thought that rescue had come. However, when they found that Xiwei was only alone, the room immediately fell into a desperate mood.
Sivi had no time to enlighten them - there were less than ten minutes left. However, the mission of the five hundred miscellaneous soldiers was still more than a hundred. If you didn't hurry up, the mission would be defeated.
So he explained to the other party concisely that there were no inspiring words such as "Jews, I like war!", and no slogans such as "Demacia" that could be shouted. Sivi simply explained his plan to the other party, and then led the way and rushed into the sea of skeletons.
The city guards looked at each other. Finally, they followed Xiwei's footsteps and moved in one direction.
They are not fools, so they naturally know that Sivi's plan has a poor success rate. But at the same time, they are not cowards. They are more afraid than huddling in the house and waiting for death. Why not just sacrifice themselves to kill the skeleton monarch? As city guards, they also have their own dignity and glory. If they have no goal, they will put their lives first, and everything is just to survive. When the goal appears, they will put their lives aside and use it to defend their country and the people behind them!
Xiwei's progress was not going well. The closer he got to the Skeleton Monarch, the greater the resistance he was. The four magicians who came with him had already died. One Earth Elemental Mage was also killed. The remaining three were also all lucky. However, after going through all the hardships, they finally approached the place where the second city guard was!
At the same time, new changes have also occurred in Xiwei's mission.
[Eridson's Tower of Glory is not breached within one hour after the war begins: Completed]
【Kill more than 500 demons and undeads in one hour: Complete】
【Number of necessary tasks remaining: 1】
After completing two tasks in a row, he would have successfully passed the dungeon. According to Xiwei's experience, no matter what dungeon, if he could pass the level in one go, the reward would be much better than the second time.
The temptation of reward made him suddenly have a lot of fighting spirit!
The second city guard team was much stronger than the first one. They had more than ten people, and they worked together to set up barriers, killing away the surrounding skeletons, and not getting rest or healing. Even if the Xiweis didn't come, if they were at the current pace and the strength of the monsters, it would probably be okay even if they could hold on for a day.
After Xiwei stated his thoughts, the city guards immediately divided into two camps besides the people who were still in shifts.
One is that he thinks Xiwei's idea is too unreliable. Instead of risking the entire extermination to do that, it is better to wait until the other reinforcements arrive and work with them to slowly erode and clean up all the skeletons. The other camp naturally thinks Xiwei's plan is worth a try, and their attitude is a little more pessimistic, and he feels that there may be no reinforcements that can support them.
The two camps had arguing for more than ten minutes, and in the end, only four people were willing to follow Xiwei and continued to move forward. The remaining three people also expressed that they did not want to waste their previous efforts and would go to the end. By the way, their injuries had been cured by Xiwei with life potion.
Finally, Siwei took seven people and began to move forward again.
Unlike when there are fewer people, if there are more people, you don’t have to resist the attacks of the skeletons and choose other ways to move forward.
The magic output of the increased magic barrier of Sieve barely covered the seven people, and then other magicians took turns to be forwards to open the way. Sieve himself maintained this barrier-like but movable protective cover all the way forward.
After that, although they passed through several separated city guards, they were basically the same as before, and two camps appeared clearly. Until Xiwei finally ran all the city guards and went directly to challenge the Skeleton King, there were only fifteen people in their team...
Just as Xiwei and the others were about to face the skeleton king, a violent explosion came from behind them, and followed by a terrifying wind of a typhoon of level 12! Xiwei and the others didn't matter. It would be fine if they squatted down and held each other quickly. At most, it was just a difficulty in action, but the skeletons were blown to pieces, and many of them were directly made by this wind mixed with magic. The dense sea of skeletons was immediately cleared.
Before Xiwei and the others could come to their senses and what happened, people screamed one after another not far away.
Then, the magicians around Sevi also began to say in horror, "Where is my magic? My magic is gone!" "The Tower of Glory is captured, we are finished!" "Damn it, is Eridson destined to fall!" "Mom..."
Xiwei looked back and saw that the towering tower had disappeared. It was supposed to be captured by the demon lord.
As soon as the tower was destroyed, the human magic in this town was immediately reduced by half. The previous screams should have been heard from the city guards just now. Once the magic power was reduced, even if it was originally at ease in the sea of skeletons, it could only become a stake under the knife.
On the contrary, these city guards who followed Xiwei were not damaged by Xiwei's magic barrier protection.
"Now is not the time to be in a daze!" Seeing everyone's faces showing despair, Sivi could not continue to sit idly: "Everything is not over yet! The only chance of victory now is to continue moving forward, gathering that little power, and defeating the Skeleton King! Only in this way can we seize that last chance! We, our family, can continue to live!"
"Don't worry, as long as you can block these skeletons, I will definitely be able to kill the skeleton lord! I promise in the name of my Severe Adrick!" (To be continued...)
