In fact, they are all mutants in the "development stage", but apart from becoming taller and stronger, they do not have other supernatural abilities. Instead, they suspect that they have strange diseases, such as "giantism".
Hong Debiao used his cult organization to promote everywhere that he was good at treating "giantism".
Hong Debiao claimed that the method of treatment was very simple.
As long as the patient stays in his church, reads the Bible every day, and is baptized in a bathtub filled with water, he will be able to get rid of the disease and return to normal shape after more than half a year of recuperation.
Of course these are all lies.
The mutant giants who were tricked by Hong Debiao into bathing in "holy water" and receiving treatment were eventually brutally killed by him and used as materials for refining iron corpses.
The Iron Corpse has a challenge level of 6, has 120 HP, and its attributes are Strength 25, Agility 10, Constitution -, Intelligence 2, Perception 10, and Charisma 5.
The bronze corpse has the same abilities as the iron corpse, plus three more specialties: "Weapon Specialization (Slashing)", "Proficient Shield Bash" and "Whirlwind".
In terms of defense, the bones of an iron corpse are stronger than those of a bronze corpse.
The natural defense is as high as 10 points. The scale armor and tower shield provide a total of 9 defense bonus points. After deducting 1 point of large size dodge penalty, the final defense level is 28.
The Iron Corpse has 10 points of damage-reducing armor. Only enchanted bludgeoning weapons can penetrate it and cause real damage to the Iron Corpse.
Seeing this, Gao Fei knew what was going on.
If you encounter an Iron Corpse in the future, don't use "Thunder King Fang". An electric baton is more suitable for dealing with this kind of monster.
Of course, no matter what weapon is used to hunt down the Iron Corpse, it cannot be as efficient as the "sharpened mark missile".
The Tiangong SWAT hunts monsters that do not exist in the "Monster Manual" and cannot gain experience points immediately.
It was not until the monster corpse was handed in, the analysis report was obtained, and its challenge level was confirmed that Gao Fei and others received the experience points they deserved for killing the monster.
Jiang Feng, Ma Tao and Wang Daqing each killed a bronze corpse with challenge level 4 and received 1100 experience points each.
Gao Fei killed the Iron Corpse with challenge level 6 and got 2300 experience points.
The experience points gained by killing monsters are already substantial, but they are nothing compared to the rewards obtained by reporting new species.
Copper corpses were added to iron corpses, and these two new zombie subspecies were discovered, allowing Gao Fei, Jiang Feng, Ma Tao and Wang Daqing to each receive 10,200 experience point rewards, which is equivalent to each killing three more bronze corpses plus three more.
Iron corpse!
It’s numb! It’s numb!
It feels so good!
Fighting monsters all the time is just stupid behavior. Collecting and reporting new species is the shortcut to cheating and upgrading!
It must also be said that Jiang Nuxia is the most upright, expressing everyone's feelings with a sincere emotion.
"Hong Debiao, Hong Debiao, what an old turtle! The spiritual shareholder of the umbrella company, the little expert who invented zombies, you are our cash cow! How should I put it... I wish you a long life!"
After two waves of mutant zombies were eliminated in succession, there was no more movement in Hong Debiao's "palace".
The four of them, Gao Fei, passed through the iron gate and entered the first floor. They found that all the windows were sealed, making it airtight and the dark hall was empty.
Gao Fei winked at Jiang Feng, who had the highest agility in the team.
Jiang Feng nodded knowingly, held the eyebrow-leveling stick tightly, and tiptoed up the stairs leading to the second floor.
As soon as she walked out of the stairs, she saw a group of short figures standing against the wall with their backs to her.
The windows on the second floor were also covered, making it impossible to see clearly the details of the group of black figures.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Feng opened the "Daylight Barrier" and used the light emitted by himself to see clearly that there were eight short people in ancient costumes and dressed as palace maids in the hall on the second floor, standing against the wall with their backs to the stairs.
As if stimulated by the light, the eight maids turned around and looked towards the stairs.
The thick makeup on their faces could not hide their rotten skin, they were clearly a group of Gu corpses!
Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, then ran downstairs in the next second.
The eight Gu Corpse Palace Maidens screamed in unison, chased down with their teeth and claws bared, and huddled together in the corridor.
Gao Fei heard unusual noises coming from upstairs and knew something was wrong, so he quickly took out the "Frost Star Wand" and held it in his hand.
Seeing Jiang Feng running down the stairs, with a group of short and insignificant Gu corpses swarming behind him, Gao Fei immediately raised his wand and fired a "Frost Nova" towards the middle of the stairs!
Bang!
A pale ring of ice suddenly erupted, and the stairs were covered in frost.
The two Gu zombies who rushed forward failed to pass the reflex save and were instantly killed by "Frost Nova".
The six Gu zombies who followed also suffered serious injuries. They slipped and fell on the icy stairs.
Ma Tao and Wang Daqing ran to the stairs and worked together to channel positive energy.
Two rounds of silver ripples spread out one after another and wiped out the remaining six corpse palace maidens in an instant.
After clearing away these little monsters, everyone climbed up to the second floor.
Compared with the empty first floor, there are two rows of bookshelves placed against the wall in the hall on the second floor, pretending to be some books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones. It must be Hong Debiao's "Royal Study Room".
It was quiet in the hall, not a soul was around.
As soon as Gao Fei lowered his guard, Huzi jumped to his feet, meowed and growled, raised his front paws and pointed at the bookshelf diagonally opposite.
Gao Fei communicated with his magic pet. Without thinking, he raised his wand and fired a "Frost Nova" towards the bookshelf.
The extremely cold air burst violently, and a ball of pale blue light was blasted out.
Gao Fei immediately recognized it as a "will-o'-the-wisp". He had seen this incorporeal undead creature in King Olaf's Tomb in the game.
When Jiang Feng accompanied Gao Fei to explore King Olaf's Tomb, he also recognized the will-o'-the-wisp. He raised his hand and shot a "scorching light" to scatter the remaining blood of the will-o'-the-wisp.
Silence fell in the hall.
However, Yimao Huzi was still patrolling around vigilantly, his eyes fixed on the stairs leading to the third floor.
Wing Cat is born with the ability to see through invisibility. Unfortunately, Gao Fei cannot share his senses with his magic pet. He can only use telepathy to learn from Hu Zi that there is a will-o'-the-wisp in the house and that it is invisible and lurking near the stairs.
Will-o'-the-wisps are incorporeal undead. Even if they are bombarded by group attack magic like "Frost Nova", they still have a 50% chance of evasion.
Goofy didn't want to waste the energy of the wand, so he secretly drew 2 points of magic power. Purple light appeared on the fingertips of his right hand, and five magic missiles were ready to go.
Huzi's gaze moved slowly, his eyes fixed on the invisible will-o'-the-wisp, from the staircase to Ma Tao and Wang Daqing.
Gao Fei's heart moved and he shouted to Ma Tao: "Brother Tao, come and use the energy!"
Ma Tao didn't fully understand his intention, but without any hesitation, he immediately directed positive energy centered on his footing, and the silver waves he inspired instantly filled the 30-foot space around him.
The will-o'-the-wisp trying to attack Ma Tao happened to be within the attack range of the positive energy wave.
The dodge characteristics of the incorporeal soul were ineffective against attacks with force fields and positive energy attributes. It was blasted out on the spot, revealing its traces.
Gao Fei seized the opportunity and shot five missiles at once, making the will-o'-the-wisp disappear into thin air.
