Chapter 690 Never lost a fight, never won a sniper
The zombie apprentices uniformly wear light yellow mage robes. Their skin is dry, but their shape is still quite intact. You can even distinguish between fat and thin. They just look like zombies that have died of old age and have been hung in a coffin and dried in the dark for several months.
As a product, the skin does not even sag or wrinkle, sticking to the solidified fat under the skin.
There is just a bit of a smell, which is quite obvious when you get close to them, like fish that has been rotten for two weeks and been stuffed into the belly of the seal carcass to ferment for a few days. The smell is really smelly, but the smell is not strong and does not spread very much.
Just stay farther away.
When Lu Zhengkang discovered them, they also discovered Lu Zhengkang, and the spellcasting instinct left in their bodies made them start rubbing fireballs.
There were also a few who did not use fireballs, but a few ice storms, chain lightning, finger of death and so on.
Even though they are apprentices, in this top organization on the magic side, those who can be apprentices are basically formal mages. They work for the legendary archmages. They are really useless without some ability and knowledge. So these apprentices are not weak.
During his lifetime, he was definitely a spellcaster with excellent combat capabilities, but after death, he was a bit like a tiger that had fallen into disgrace.
Not to mention that the spells they release have all become castrated versions. As living zombies, they do not have the wisdom to use casting materials. Therefore, if they use materials to assist spells, they will be ineffective unless they engrave metamagic skills and caster-free materials into their spells.
It is in the DNA, otherwise the attack methods are still relatively monotonous.
Now that we are approaching the core area, there are a lot of shrinkage areas on the road. Lu Zhengkang does not dare to run around, so he can only stand and cast spells, so he and these apprentices are sniping at each other from a distance.
He bent down to avoid a string of fireballs on the opposite side, and then carefully moved to the left. Three yards to his right was a long space-time rift, also known as the black mirror, which was an ellipsoid-shaped, olive-like black area.
, any matter or energy will be banished to the depths of time after entering the black mirror, and the light propagation in it will be almost stagnant. If someone puts his hand in, he will not be able to take it out, and only a bare arm will be left.
Oh, my wrists are squirting with blood.
This kind of black mirror can still be used. Lu Zhengkang is not invincible, so he can resist a bunch of spells. So when it was his turn, he stood up from behind the black mirror, and when it was the opponent's turn to throw spells, he would hide.
Go behind the black mirror.
When it comes to fighting, you can survive by being a bit mean and don't be mean.
This is what Lu Zhengkang told himself anyway. He also has eyes and ears in all directions. These apprentices never know when they will come up with some new tricks.
In such an area with a great impact of terrain, Lu Zhengkang's spells are actually not very useful. It is like having a gunfight in a bunch of bunkers. The living corpses will move around, hiding in the shrinkage area or in the dark.
Behind the mirror, Lu Zhengkang's offensive will also be ineffective.
At this time, Lu Zhengkang had the idea to refine a flying sword - he didn't do this before because the Qi Dan was too rubbish and had insufficient battery life. Instead of wasting the Dan Qi on refining the weapon, it is better to save it and cast spells. But now
When he found a way to supplement it, he thought of making himself a flying sword.
Brother James Jian once said: Distance is safety.
With the flying sword, Lu Zhengkang can extend the attack distance, and has ideal conditions for flying kites or standing for output.
He was thinking here, and the spells on the opposite side were coming one after another, making him afraid to show his face. After weighing the situation, Lu Zhengkang decided to use his soul regardless of the loss of elixir energy.
The Qi Pill flew out from above his head and turned into a traveling white rainbow. Its tiny body could easily pass through the safe place between the dangerous fold areas of time and space and fly to the heads of the gathered apprentices.
The Qi Pill transformed into a majestic white ape, roaring silently, pounced downwards, tearing the air with its strangely long arms, holding a head with both hands, and silently pressing the head into the chest.
, like poking a cherry into mashed potatoes, the elixir energy turned into thunder, rushed out from the white ape's palms, and penetrated into the apprentice's body.
Bang! Bang!
Two consecutive sounds, the two apprentices touched by the white ape first had their heads in the cavity, and then their chests and abdomen were exploded by the thunder. The whole corpse turned into a tomato that was smashed by a baseball bat, with only two legs left.
It's still stuck on the ground.
What a kill!
The white ape was violent and wanton, moving like lightning across the sky. In an instant, he was in front of the next pair of victims. He held the ground with his claws, raised his leg and kicked hard. His foot flew out twice, and the living corpse on the left was kicked.
bridge of nose, tianling
The cap popped up high like a bottle cap, and the living corpse on the right was kicked in the cheek. The whole head spun six or seven times like clockwork, and the neck became as soft as a rubber tube.
On to the back.
There were still seven apprentices left. They threw fireballs without saying a word. The fireballs formed a long line, and some of them fell into the folds of time and space, like fireworks scattered in the wind. Naturally, there were many more flying straight towards White Ape. He only threw them.
His body shrunk, then transformed into Qi Dan again, and flew towards the opponent.
Lu Zhengkang hid aside and appraised the elixir energy distressedly, and shouted: "Prodigal son, you should be more careful!"
I don’t know if these words worked. Anyway, Qi Danfei paused in mid-air, and then White Ape jumped out and happened to be standing among the apprentices. He didn’t use any fancy means, he just rushed towards each living creature.
A slap was slapped on the head and body of the corpse, making a tying sound like hitting rotten wood. Those who were hit flew backwards and fell into the shrinkage area without leaving any one behind. They were showing off their power inside, but there was nothing they could do.
What threat does it pose?
The Qi Dan circled around and after confirming that there was no threat, it slowly flew back to Lu Zhengkang's head.
Lu Zhengkang sighed, why didn't he kill those living corpses? He had to go deep into the core area.
After a lot of effort, Lu Zhengkang collected the items dropped by the apprentices: forget about the items that fell into the black mirror, but you can still try to fish out the items that fell into the shrinkage area with a big sword.
He obtained a higher-level access card that could lead to the thirteenth floor of the tower. He also collected some apprentices' ashes, some gold coins, and some diluted potions.
Since he got the Qi Pill, Lu Zhengkang actually doesn't need supplements very much. The spell can meet all his needs. The most obvious manifestation is that he has never been injured again.
The remaining area of the Golden Stone Tower is filled with a large number of time and space fold phenomena. The third, fifth, and seventh combined layers cannot be penetrated at all. However, Lu Zhengkang also saw a huge teleportation array, which should be what Brother James Jian said.
To access the next area, however, Lu Zhengkang still needs to find the real supervisor to get the key.
The access card did not have enough authority, so he could not enter the top of the tower. After searching with all his strength, he only got a considerable amount of salt and some sundries, such as jewelry such as silver salt rings, and some simple spell books.
Put on new equipment for yourself and return to the reception area on the first floor.
Lu Zhengkang's plan was to refine the flying sword first, then try to enter the dreamland to search for the truth, and after waking up, explore the other three accessible towers.
That's it for the time being.
He sat cross-legged in the blank shelter on the first floor, and the Qi Dan on his head circled around, turning into a small white stove. He swallowed the huge Conghai sword in one gulp. The Dan Qi was lingering, and he was about to start practicing flying.
