Chapter 62 Killing the Alien Corpse
Xu Huang and his party were trekking hard in the kingdom of the dead. The heavy rain made the corrupted soil where the corpses were piled thicker, and they would fall into it if they were not careful.
Qin Damao walked in the front. He was an earth mage and could use ground waves to strengthen the soil under his feet.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and although the clouds were still thick, the density of the undead was still much less dense than at night.
They had left the Qinling Mountains and walked a few kilometers toward the salt pond, encountering undead attacks from time to time along the way.
Originally, they had eaten gray garlic, and ordinary undead would not take the initiative to provoke them, but the humid environment seemed to have compromised the smell on their bodies.
Even if Pu Xun can remove the nearby water vapor, some undead who are too close may still notice something strange about them.
"Now the number and strength of these undead are getting stronger and stronger. It seems that we are gradually approaching the destination. Just now, an iron-skeleton demon skeleton almost bit off my leg..."
Gu Wei muttered, the number of undead they encountered along the way were several times more than when they first left the ancient capital, and some undead at the level of corpse generals and bone generals appeared from time to time.
Just now, a large group of gray skeletons emerged from the mud under his feet, surrounding them with their teeth and claws, like a group of hungry wolves seeing a fat lamb.
However, they obviously found the wrong target. Except for the iron-skeleton demon skeleton at the mid-level bone general level, the rest of the gray stone skeletons at the great slave level were frozen by Gu Wei's mid-level ice magic.
There is silted rainwater in all directions. The strength of the ice and water mages will be greatly enhanced. The slave-level undead are so dense that they are almost frozen into ice sculptures.
Xu Qing, the blue-armored dragon, almost simply stepped on it, either slapping his thick and sharp soles off, or waving his strong dragon tail, and the graystone skeletons that had become brittle due to the low temperature were scattered all over the ground.
As for the Skull General-level Iron Bone Demon Skeleton, its bones have been tempered by decades of death energy and are as strong as black iron, and can almost resist most mid-level magics.
But it was targeted by Xu Qing, a mid-level bone general and an advanced blue-armored dragon.
Although it was not powerless to fight back, several of its ribs were quickly bitten into pieces by Xu Qing's huge mouth, and its skull was blown away with its right forelimb.
The soul flame of the Iron Bone Demon Skeleton was not extinguished. Even if it had only one head left, it almost bit off Gu Wei's left calf. He was so angry that he froze the skull, and the two beating will-o'-the-wisps were quickly extinguished.
Qin Damao only needs to focus on strengthening the surface so that his teammates will not be suddenly dragged or scratched by the skinny arms emerging from under his feet, but he also consumes a lot of mana.
Some areas are too muddy and it is not easy to reinforce them, and may even stimulate the tide of undead corpses lurking in them.
Most of the undead were eliminated by Xu Qing. After eating the flesh and blood of the Silver Moon Blood Python, it became extremely excited, or it would be more appropriate to say it was bellicose.
The Silver Moon Blood Python, which is close to the level of the Grand Commander, has gradually entered the advanced stage due to its accumulated experience.
It still has a lot of majestic energy in its body that needs to be digested, and there is nothing more suitable than a hearty battle.
Xu Huang and the others only need to defeat the undead that approach them, or Duan Hu and Gu Wei release some interfering vines and ice vines and other elementary magics, and leave the rest to Xu Qing.
Every time a battle ends, Xu Huang will use the undead vessel to collect the emerging spirits, and carefully check whether there are any fish that have slipped through the pile of undead corpses.
Xu Huang knew very well that his little naughty kid was a big boss, and no matter how many times he emphasized the importance of last-hitting, he still couldn't remember it.
Maybe every time I warn it, it seems to be concentrating on the surface, but in fact its mind is full of staying up late at night to make up for it.
It was approaching noon, the dark clouds dispersed, and the rare sunshine shone on the earth again. Those undead souls that were still wandering felt that the life force was gradually thinning.
Death energy is what the undead rely on for survival. Without death energy, they would suffer as unbearably as if they were deprived of oxygen. They would go back to their piles of undead corpses underground to sleep, waiting for night to fall again.
The temperature has been rising in a short period of time, the rainwater accumulated on the surface has gradually evaporated, and the soil that was originally swampy and easy to sink into has begun to dry out again.
The sun came just in time, otherwise their progress would have been greatly delayed due to the intrusion of the undead.
The pace of Xu Huang and the others gradually increased, and they were gradually approaching the red zone. They climbed up a mound, and Chen Lei looked around with a telescope, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"One of our targets, the beastly undead, is different from the iron-bone pig demon. It is a swift and cunning wolf demon..."
Just a few hundred meters away, a giant black wolf was pacing slowly. It was as big as a medium-sized truck. There seemed to be some white maggots squirming in its cracked bloody mouth. Its eyes looked cloudy, and its body
A lot of fur had fallen off, and yellow bones could even be seen on the abdomen, with some dark red rotten internal organs shaking around.
"Let's hunt down that Rotten Wolf Corpse General. Its strength should be close to the level of the Great Corpse General. Be careful of the tide of undead corpses it calls!!"
Chen Lei put the telescope back into his package, quickly jumped off the mound, and rushed towards the wolf-shaped undead.
Almost at the moment when the rotten wolf corpse noticed something strange, Chen Lei's Thunderbolt Dance had roared away. Those long thunder whips whipped the rotten wolf, almost knocking its body back a few steps.
Pieces of internal organs flew out.
The rotten wolf howled angrily, and hundreds of undead corpses with white bones that seemed to have been pieced together from the broken bones of various monsters emerged from the nearby soil.
Xu Huang and the others were well prepared. Thunderbolt - Crazy Dance, Fierce Fist - Jiugong, Wind Pan - Tear, and Storm Wave - Hongjuan were released directly, and they wiped out most of the bone demons almost instantly.
The undead beings swept away by the violent waves felt as if their bones had been scattered, and a burly green figure fell from the sky, completely shattering them.
Although the Rotten Wolf Corpse General is close to the Great Corpse General, its strength is not enough to compete with a high-level mage of the thunder and summoning systems.
Chen Lei didn't need to summon an armored war bear or release the Silent Thunder Death Ray. He could kill the rotten wolf simply by relying on the intermediate thunder magic and poison magic he had at his fingertips.
When Chen Lei carefully took out the undead crystal from the rotten wolf's body that was almost broken into two parts, his team members had also completed clearing the area.
Xu Huang and the others took out the undead crystals collected on the way to restore their own magic energy. Compared with restoring potions, direct use of the undead crystals was much more efficient.
Following the same pattern, they used mid-level magic to quickly kill the slave-level undead corpse soldiers, then used the undead crystals in their bodies to restore their magic energy, rested for a while, and then continued hunting.
The green-armored Xilong Xu Qing is responsible for dealing with the small corpse generals that appear from time to time, while Chen Lei, as a high-level mage, deals with the undead at the level of the large corpse generals.
Before sunset, they had hunted and killed a considerable number of undead using the method of fighting to support war, including dozens of corpse generals and some large corpse generals.
Except for several types of special undead generals required in the commissioned tasks, the other obtained corpse general crystals are used to restore magic energy, and the effect is much better than that of slave-level crystals.
On the edge of the red zone, there is little possibility for zombies to move around. The main inhabitants are undead corpse generals who have a large number of corpse soldiers.
The threat to them is not too great, and they will not choose an area where the density of zombies is too high, otherwise they may really die.
They will not stay in place for a long time, but move forward in an orderly manner towards Iwamura.
"At our speed, we can definitely reach Yancun before sunset. Although the villagers in Weiju Village don't like to accept outsiders, if they are my teammates, they will not refuse. In fact, after getting along for a long time, you will find that they are quite easy to get along with...
"
Pu Xun looked at the hills not far away. As long as he climbed over that area, he could reach his hometown. There was unconcealable joy on his face.
To make sure, they each even ate another piece of gray garlic and almost vomited out the lunch they had eaten during the lunch break. Gu Wei retched so exaggeratedly that he was kicked by Duan Hu.
"I wonder how they are doing now..."
Thinking that he was getting closer to his relatives, Pu Xun even seemed to smell the smoke from Yan Village at night, and heard the familiar villagers calling their children home, and he couldn't help but think in his heart.
