Chapter 23 Whack the Gopher(1/2)
"There are 7 slave-level Dead-Eyed Poison Corpses over there. Go and deal with them. Just a reminder, the tumors on their bodies contain corrosive venom. Don't fall victim to them!"
Jin Yang was as cold as ice as he warned the three newcomers in his team.
He has absolutely no interest in this kind of servant-level corpse soldier, so he will give it to these newcomers to practice.
"Are you sure you want to stand by and watch? These three rookies have to use mid-level magic to deal with the corpse soldiers. It's a waste of magic energy. They can't last more than a few minutes when encountering a large-scale zombie tide..."
Yuan Tao looked at a rookie not far away who was frightened by the venom sprayed by the Dead Eye Poison Corpse and directly used an intermediate fierce fist. He turned to Jin Yang beside him and said.
"Don't worry about it. They will panic if their magic power is almost exhausted. If you don't have the ability to think calmly, no one can help them. We can't be full-time nannies for these giant babies..."
Jin Yang said casually while looking at the points that were refreshed from time to time on his watch.
Along the way, the two of them almost didn't take any action. They just watched the three newcomers running rampant, and from time to time they would release intermediate magic to blast several corpse soldiers.
It was simply a show of death. They even forgot the basic principles. They only wanted to kill more undead to earn points. As a result, they squandered their magic energy and could not withstand actual combat exercises.
"Now that we have reached the orange zone, don't let the rookies go too far, otherwise it will be too late to rescue them. There are warrior-level undead lurking in this area..."
Yuan Tao and Jin Yang are both top-ranked masters on the ranking list. They have reached the third level of both mid-level series and have killed thousands of undead.
They often visit this area to hunt powerful undead. If the corpse general is unlucky, he will encounter them. At that time...
They can only pray that there are more zombie soldiers around them who can be used as targets. Those zombie generals that show up are very unlucky.
"The rewards in this hunting competition are quite good. Do you want to take it seriously and kill more undead? If you disdain the slave-level undead, then let me increase your points!"
As Yuan Tao spoke, he took out the demon-slaying tool from his waist, a thick and sharp sword. He took a step forward, his strong leg muscles tightened instantly, and he jumped out like a cheetah.
"Stand back!!!!!"
Yuan Tao was tall and tall, with a voice as deep as a bronze cauldron. He glared angrily and scolded the rookies who didn't know how to save mana to stay away.
“Drink!!!!”
The explosive muscles on Yuan Tao's arms bulged, and the heavy sword that was difficult for ordinary people to pick up was as fast as lightning in his hand.
A cold light passed by, and the remaining three dead-eyed poisonous corpses were immediately dismembered.
Yuan Tao did not stop, he continued to swing the sword, and the sharp air blades passed by one after another. The three headless poisonous corpses were torn into pieces, and the soul crystals in their bodies were also directly broken, and they died.
He did not stop, but rushed towards the dozen undead corpse soldiers not far away.
Those zombie soldiers who relied on instinct smelled the flesh and blood of living people and rushed towards them with roars.
Yuan Tao was like a tiger before a flock of sheep, and those slave-level undead couldn't even break through his armored magic equipment.
He didn't release a single spell, but relied only on his terrifying physical fitness and sharp demon-slaying tools to kill these undead corpse soldiers.
The points on the watch began to increase rapidly. Old students took the lead in fighting, and these rookies could also take advantage.
The rewards for competition results belong to the team, and many senior students will go all out to fight for the rewards.
Some newcomers hardly need to take any action, and at most they can pick up and kill some corpse soldiers with residual health to gain points.
"I don't know what happened to Xu Huang and Hong Chen, but their strength is not weaker than that of Laosheng. With Luo Jin and Qin Xuan leading the team, the results of this competition will definitely not be low..."
Jin Yang looked around with a telescope. Some teams were also hunting undead nearby. The radiance of magic and the roar of firearms continued one after another.
…………
"These guys are really killing it. They have eradicated the grass and roots. They can't even see one or two ordinary rotting corpses wandering around..."
Qin Xuan gritted his teeth. He was already more than a kilometer away from the northern city wall, but the surroundings were still empty.
If it is a period of high incidence of undead, corpse generals with considerable strength will appear near the Crouching Dragon Wall.
But now, except for the stumps and broken arms scattered on the ground, there is no corpse soldier that can move at all. Their current points are only 30 points contributed by the three corpses killed in the white area.
"Luo Jin, just use that move!"
Qin Xuan, who was aroused to be competitive, walked to a piece of land that looked ordinary.
She picked up a handful of black soil with her gloved palm and looked at it for a moment, then said to Luo Jin with a solemn expression.
"Xu Huang, you guys stand back and get ready for battle. I'm going to dig out the undead corpse soldiers lurking below!!"
Luo Jin's palm was connected with thick earth planets, and a star track composed of seven planets quickly formed.
It has not been long since Luo Jin entered the intermediate level by thinking about the star path, and he is getting better and better at connecting the stars. Although he is still unable to do the star chart by thinking about it, he is already able to cast elementary magic at his fingertips.
“Ground Wave—Fall!!!!”
The soil under Luo Jin's feet suddenly began to churn, and seven or eight foul-smelling rotting corpses were pulled out of the ground several meters deep by the gushing mud.
"Ouch!!!!"
The carrion corpses were awakened by the sudden movement, struggling and roaring.
The sleeping corpses nearby were also stimulated, and the land within tens of meters began to churn, and dozens of pairs of skinny arms stuck out!
"Kun's Forest—Prison!!!"
Qin Xuan connected the star map of the plant system in his hand, and the green star track showed a plant-like vine-like state, quickly forming a natural map, symbolizing the flourishing of all things!!
The green energy seeds fell out of Qin Xuan's hands and fell on the land where the undead were raging.
Although lifeless, the soil where countless corpses were buried also provided sufficient nutrients for the seeds.
As if something was about to break through the surface of the earth, suddenly dozens of thick, powerful, strange-looking vines grew crazily, catching the undead corpse soldiers by surprise.
Some of these weird vines are entangled together, and then quickly multiply into more branches.
Some continued to spread toward the surface, quickly encircling a large territory belonging to their weird vines!
Not long ago, the black land was occupied by dozens of undead that emerged from the soil.
But now, the whole place is occupied by these vines. They don't look like plants at all, but some kind of extremely aggressive, extremely violent and bloodthirsty monsters!
The slave-level undead were entangled and bound by those thick vines, unable to move.
In fact, the vines of the mid-level plant system strangled them like giant pythons. If it weren't for the fact that they were undead, their bones would break and pierce into their organs, which would kill them.
"Try to use elementary magic to solve them!!!"
Luo Jin used ground waves to loosen the soil in the nearby land. The already aggressive Kun Forest continued to expand, and some slave-level undead corpse soldiers were restrained by thick vines.
This is the orange zone, and there are countless undead lurking underground. If you destroy the land at will, you are likely to be surrounded by a furious tide of undead corpses.
Therefore, Qin Xuan chose an area with a low density of undead, so that even if everyone came out, they would not be unable to escape.
The depth of the black soil in the Land of the Dead can also reflect the number of undead sleeping there and even the degree of danger.
The undead in the area below them are basically slave-level, and the warrior-level undead are generally found in areas with darker soil.
"Level 4 Thunder Seal!!!"
The star track in Xu Huang's hand was successfully connected with a single thought, and the powerful fourth-level thunder seal was like a dancing electric python, rapidly striking at the corpses bound by the vines.
Thunder overflowed, and the rotten corpses attacked by the dancing thunder pythons instantly had their skins torn apart, and the smelly black smoke billowed.
As soon as I thought about the star track, I, who was already connecting at a speed much faster than ordinary mages, could do it when I first entered the intermediate level.
But now, Xu Huang, who has seven initial stars guaranteed, has become more skillful in controlling the stars, and he has gradually begun to charge towards the Yi Nian Star Chart.
"Fire-explosion!!!!"
In Guo Hongchen's hand, 7 red fire stars connected with the star orbits, and blazing flames spurted out.
He has a spiritual species - Yanhu, which increases the power of the fire system by 2.5 times, and the initial level three fire burst is extremely powerful.
Those rotting corpses that were no more than slave-level were invaded by the flames, and their abdomens expanded rapidly and exploded. Sparks shot out, turning the rotting corpses into charcoal.
“Icevine-covered!!!!!”
Wei Nan used the first level three ice vines, and the cold air turned into biting frost and covered the struggling corpses.
Under the strangulation of the vines, those turned into ice sculptures, and the extremely fragile carrion turned into broken ice cubes.
“365 points is not bad, we will keep up the good work!”
Luo Jin looked at the rapidly rising points on his watch and smiled. They had killed 31 rotten corpses in this annihilation battle. They only used elementary magic to consume less magic energy.
The soul crystals in the undead's bodies are their Achilles' heel, but they are a rare treasure for human mages, which can replenish their lost magic energy.
Luo Jin specifically told Xu Huang and the others to leave a few intact corpses, cut open their bodies with his own dagger, and took out the soul crystals inside.
"It can replenish our lost magic energy. Outside the ancient capital, magic energy must be saved as much as possible. This is destined to be a protracted battle!"
Luo Jin crushed a soul crystal, and the energy that overflowed like a gossamer was quickly absorbed, filling it with the magic energy of the earth nebula.
“Hiss, hiss~~~~”
There was a slight squirming sound from the hills piled with mutilated corpses of rotting corpses and thick vines.
A burly two-headed corpse roared and brandished a sharp bloody iron knife, breaking through the shackles of Kunzhi Forest.
It was as strong as an ox, covered in invulnerable chainmail, and carried an iron knife that could split thick vines on its shoulders, glaring with anger.
"The double-faced black evil is an undead at the level of a corpse general. Be careful of the corpses it summons!!"
Luo Jin looked solemn. A small corpse general is not scary, but a corpse general that can command hundreds of undead corpse soldiers is very scary!
The two-headed corpse general roared and ordered his subordinates, and nearly a hundred undead emerged from the ground in a radius of 100 meters.
To be continued...
