City of Decay (difficulty): Dungeon progress is 25%;
civilian area
Yi Qiu squatted in a dilapidated house, waiting for the patrolling corpses to leave.
The dark environment in the Decaying City made him like a fish in water, and he could almost always remain invisible.
But this does not mean that he can come and go freely in the City of Decay, because the corpse patrol team in the civilian area will be followed by several corruption dogs.
Corrupted dogs have a certain ability to see through invisibility, not only because they still maintain sensitive noses despite being mutated, but also because their eyes have undergone some kind of distorted changes after being mutated.
The left eye of most corrupted dogs is in a necrotic state, but the right eye exudes a cold and ferocious light like a beautiful black gem.
This alienation allows Corruption Dogs to see certain information emitted by flesh and blood, thereby achieving the effect of seeing through invisibility.
The first time he met the Corrupted Dog, Yi Qiu almost suffered a big loss because of his reckless ignorance.
Fortunately, he can run fast. Facts have proved that running fast may not be as outstanding as other attributes for defeating enemies.
But when it comes to saving lives, movement speed is always one of the highest priority levels.
"Roar……"
The corrupted dog patrolling nearby roared, as if it smelled something.
It sniffed the air with its nose dripping with pus, but seemed to smell nothing.
Yi Qiu tensed his body, ready to run away if he was discovered.
The support from the zombies was very fast. He had suppressed his nausea and killed a group of zombies, but was almost surrounded by the zombies who were supporting him from behind.
With far superior movement speed and jumping ability than the rotting zombies, Yi Qiu easily got rid of the rotting zombies' pursuit.
However, this also made him not intend to cause trouble with the rotting corpses. Although it was not very strenuous, the rotting corpses were very powerful, but their health points were almost at the same level as those of the skeletons.
Yi Qiu almost punches one at a time, and some of them may need another blow, but it's not a problem.
The most important thing is that the reward for killing carrion is too low, even mosquito legs are overestimated.
Killing a rotten corpse adds 2 general experience points. Yi Qiu estimates that if he has the ability to clear out all the rotten corpses in the entire city of decay, he might also be able to gain... several thousand general experience points.
The efficiency is too low, so he does not intend to accomplish the achievement of cleaning up the city.
The most important thing is that smashing these disgusting guys to death with your fists is really not a good experience.
Yi Qiu was going to directly test the strength of the dark swordsman. If he could beat the boss, the right way would be to beat the boss directly.
The rotten chef that Yi Qiu killed before was the boss of the slum area. Yi Qiu estimated that the slum area was the low-rise building area on the left that was not paved with jade roads after entering the city.
The civilian area is on the right after the entrance to the City of Decay, because Yi Qiu has already explored the slum area on the left.
The slum area covers a large area, occupying at least a quarter of the area of the Decaying City, and there are a large number of rotting corpses scattered in it.
In the innermost part of the slum, a majestic wall blocked Yi Qiu's way.
The situation in civilian areas and slums is different. The strength of the corpses has not changed, but the density is much smaller.
But the most important thing is that in addition to rotten corpses, the number of rotten dogs in civilian areas has begun to increase.
There are no corrupt dogs in the slums. Although there are some, the number is very limited.
Unlike the civilian area, there is not only a team of rotten corpses specially patrolling, but also several rotten dogs inside.
In the end, the Corruption Dog didn't smell any unusual smell, so it followed the rotten corpse in dismay and swept it with its bare fleshy tail without any rhythm.
After Yi Qiu waited for the corpse patrol team to go far away, he walked out of the house. Compared with the slums, the houses in the civilian areas also had some subtle changes.
There are also spiral staircase structures, but many houses have doors.
Although it has basically turned into a pile of waste now, you can still vaguely see what it looked like back then.
…………
…………
Yi Qiu walked along the Baiyu Road towards the depths of the civilian area. The further in he went, the lower the density of corpses became. Even after a long time, no monsters were seen. It was like an empty city.
However, Yi Qiu knew that this was unusual, and it was likely that he was about to touch the boss area.
The rotten chef was lured out by himself. Yi Qiu ran to its spawn point and looked at it. There were no rotten corpses for hundreds of meters nearby.
After walking a few hundred meters further and bypassing a street with a market-like architectural style, Yi Qiu discovered the Dark Swordsman.
"Discover the key boss in the civilian area: the Dark Swordsman."
"Achievement information refreshed."
"Achievement: Icy Blade
Achievement description: Kill the Dark Swordsman (0/1)
Achievement reward: 25% copy progress
"
The Dark Swordsman is a humanoid monster shrouded in a black robe. He is not very tall and ordinary, similar to the current Yi Qiu.
He was holding a knife in his hand, which looked very sharp.
It was sharpening its knife with the skull of an unknown creature.
It was quiet all around, except for the sound of the friction between the blade and the skull.
Yi Qiu was now invisible. After thinking about it, he retreated.
Yi Qiu felt that the Dark Swordsman was definitely a formidable enemy, and he must face it in full strength.
After finding a random house, Yi Qiu began to buff himself.
Silence!
No trace!
Fighting stance: Dragon Fist Style!
Eight Gates Dunjia, open the door, open it!
After waiting for the invisibility cooling time to pass, Yi Qiu escaped into the shadows.
Yi Qiu did not prepare to walk over, but directly used shadow walking.
In an instant, the whole world turned into pitch black, and all the shadowed places were put together and looked like a whole.
But if you look closely, you can find many disharmonious places, which seem to be constructed from twisted shadows one after another.
Yi Qiu distinguished it carefully, and then he took a step towards a shadow somewhere in front of him.
In an instant, Yi Qiu disappeared from the room and appeared in a small alley in the street outside!
The instantaneous change in space was a bit difficult to accept for the senses that had never been exposed to it before. Yi Qiu felt slightly nauseous, but he recovered quickly.
A slight feeling of nausea was followed by a strange stimulation. Yi Qiu touched his bald head. This stimulation was much stronger than other magical abilities.
Yi Qiu took a deep breath and then entered the shadow walking state again.
After teleporting in the shadows a few more times, Yi Qiu was almost familiar with shadow walking.
At this time, Yi Qiu was already very close to the dark swordsman. Inexplicably, Yi Qiu felt that the surroundings had become a little depressing.
The dark swordsman still maintained the same appearance as when Yi Qiu saw him before, sharpening his sword again and again.
It seems like so much time has passed and it has been sharpening its knife here.
All that is left in the world is it and its knife.
Yi Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the next moment...
Shadow walks!
His body suddenly disappeared, and then appeared behind the dark swordsman in an instant!
