Outside the swamp, many players who were still in shock began to gather together.
"About 2,000 people were lost during the breakout, and most of them were life professionals without combat effectiveness..." Vice President Xu said to Song Zheng, who had just rushed out of the swamp, with a heavy look on his face.
"Alas, I am dragging you down this time." Song Zheng threw away the broken Ningshuang in his hand in frustration.
The players of the Fifth Legion and the former alliance are basically fighting professions, and more or less have some life-saving skills. Calculated, the biggest losses this time are New Oriental Game Company and some other scattered small guilds that come to join in the fun.
"I should be thanking you. Thanks to you for trying so hard to lure away the Corpse King. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would have been killed by the Corpse King... Maybe we should feel lucky, knowing that it is said that the darkness dares to challenge the Fuhumen alone.
The wizard hasn't shown up yet. If we hold on forcefully, we will probably be wiped out." Qin Dongliu, who was also in a mess, said with a bitter smile.
"I was too anxious to build the city and underestimated the danger of the dark swamp."
"You have done a great job. The Fifth Legion was only established in the game for six years. It is a miracle that it has developed to this point."
"Isn't it still inferior to your former alliance..." Song Zheng said with a bitter smile.
"The old alliance developed in the game more than ten years before you. If the Fifth Legion can have twenty years to develop, you will definitely be the strongest force in the game world!"
Song Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There are two big guilds in the north. They occupy the most prosperous places in the game, and they also have huge advantages in reality."
"Hmph, those two families in the north are more than conservative but not aggressive enough. They have occupied so many resources over the years but have done nothing." Qin Dongliu sneered.
Seeing that his former competitor came to encourage him at this time, Song Zheng was quite surprised, and his depressed mood calmed down a lot: "No matter what, they are still far stronger than us now... You continue to gather the separated people here.
Players, I'll quit the game first and take a look. There must be a commotion outside. Don't worry, I will try my best to bear the responsibility for this accident."
…
Quite unexpectedly, in the brightly lit hall, only an old man wearing the rank of lieutenant general sat alone.
Song Zheng was slightly startled when he walked in and saw only the old man. He stopped and tidied his clothes before stepping forward to report: "The breakout plan was barely successful, but due to encountering a powerful BOSS on the way, the losses were higher than expected.
Bigger.”
The old man waved his hand and sighed softly: "I already know that after all, our foundation and heritage are not enough. In six years, we can only barely cultivate more than a dozen masters above level 60. Although your sister is extremely talented, it is a pity that
The luck value is too low, and now I am stuck in that advanced mission and I don’t know when I will be able to get out.”
"I believe that with my eldest sister's ability, I will be able to advance successfully. Besides, my younger sister has now become a disciple of the Jingyang Sect, so she has great hope..."
The old man clapped his hands on the table with a sullen look on his face and said, "Huh, don't mention her to me. It's not easy to get admitted to the temple. There are so many coveted professions and we just choose an alchemist. Is it possible that we still lack elixirs?"
Medicine!"
Song Zheng could only lower his head and smile bitterly: "Oh, it's just because my gaming talent is so poor that I haven't been able to advance until level 71. If I could advance to become a swordsman early, I might be able to succeed in building the city this time.
I'm a drag on the base...I will resign as regiment leader."
Hearing this, the old man became even more angry and said: "Do you want to be a deserter as soon as you encounter failure? Nowadays, I don't know how many people are thinking about this game base. If you resign now, you are playing into their hands. By then, I'm afraid that we have lost all these years.
All your hard work will be wasted.”
"Then what should I do?" Song Zheng said hesitantly.
"Continue to lead the Fifth Army Corps and regain your strength as soon as possible. When Xueyi comes out, let her replace you as the leader. We must ensure that our development plan can continue."
"But what happened this time..."
"If we talk about game disasters, none of the two families in the north have had any accidents. I will try to deal with the aftermath. Besides...compared to the real secret of this game, no one will take this sacrifice seriously." The old man's gaze
He has become determined.
The real secret of this game...
Song Zheng's hand couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he finally responded in a low voice: "Okay, but... what should New Oriental do? They have suffered a lot in supporting us in building the city this time."
"It's also a mess over there now. Several shareholders involved in the game plan are quarreling. The Xu family, who are closely related to us, will probably be under a lot of pressure. Maybe the Yu family will take the opportunity to take power."
Song Zheng couldn't help but frown and said: "The Yu family... Yu Ze is a person with high eyesight, but he has great ambitions and few talents, and it is difficult to tolerate others. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything, whether in the game or in reality."
The old man shook his hand and said: "It is not convenient for us to get involved in New Oriental's affairs now. We can only try our best to give the Xu family some support. In addition, our losses this time are not small. We must try to recruit a group of people."
"There are no job transfer quotas available at the moment. Even for life occupations, there are only a dozen or so remaining spots." Song Zheng could only smile bitterly.
"Then we can only recruit those who have special skills. After entering the game, they may have their own profession."
Song Zheng quickly shook his head and said: "No, don't do it. The lessons learned in the past are enough. The chance of automatic transfer is pitiful. Of the more than 90 martial arts masters we recruited last time, only two of them automatically transferred to boxing masters."
, the talent is still frighteningly low, and the rest of the people have not been able to arrange it yet."
"Then just like those people in the north, let's recruit some e-sports masters. I heard that those game masters are very adaptable after entering the game world."
…
Su Yan was now standing on the head of the giant python, looking at the surrounding scenery with curiosity.
This zombie python has been swimming rapidly for at least five hours. It should be the third day of the sun at this moment, but it is still pitch black in this dark swamp shrouded in black fog all year round.
This place should be deep in the swamp. The surrounding trees have become taller and more ferocious, with vines as thick as a bowl hanging down in all directions. All kinds of strange creatures appear in the jungle.
Su Yan wanted to ask several times, but the old man kept sitting cross-legged in front of him with his eyes closed and concentrating. Only the burly corpse king next to him kept staring at him with blazing eyes.
Su Yan didn't dare to provoke this corpse king at this moment. He had no choice but to sit down cross-legged and began to look at the gains from his trip.
The biggest gain is naturally the huge amount of experience. After investing the experience gained from killing the giant python, the Taoist priest profession has been upgraded to level 16.
However, it still gave him a headache when he saw that the next level required more than one million experience points. He had to kill at least tens of thousands of zombies around level 20. Leveling up in this game is indeed a painful thing.
.
Now I finally have time to take a closer look at the skills I had no time to check before, but it is the Dark Corpse Control Technique that has been upgraded again.
[Dark Corpse Control: Level 3, can temporarily enslave zombies and skeletons, consumes 100 points of vitality, lasts for 30 minutes, can increase the attack power of the controlled target by 20%, and restore 1% of the health of the controlled target every second. 】
In addition to further extending the control time, it also has a good self-recovery ability, but the energy consumption also increases.
What surprised Su Yan even more was that he actually gained a new skill again.
[Poison Explosion: Level 1, greatly accelerates the decay rate of corpses, quickly forms a cloud of corpse poison within ten yards of the corpse, causing 20 points of damage per second to targets entering the poisonous fog, lasting 10 minutes, consumption
Vitality value is 60 points, casting material: rotting corpse.】
Looking at the skill description, Su Yan couldn't help but burst into tears. He finally had an attack skill that could directly cause damage, but the casting materials required for this skill were too cheating.
As for using this skill in reality, there is no need to consider it. If you want to use it to hit people, you have to take a corpse with you first...
While lamenting the unreliability of this dark-type professional skill, Su Yan was suddenly surprised to find that a stone building appeared in the bushes in front of him. Although it was in ruins and covered by vines and moss, he could still distinguish it.
Silhouettes of some houses.
As the zombie python continues to wander in the forest, there are more and more ruins of buildings on both sides, and even palace ruins dozens of meters high have appeared.
"This is a city?!" Looking at the huge ruins stretching to unknown places in the jungle, Su Yan finally came to his senses.
"Yes, this is a city...the real Lianzhou City!" The old man who had been sitting cross-legged opened his eyes at some point.
