Chapter 241 Is this the fun of being a summoner?
Relying on the physique of the zombie beast, Shi Li easily jumped into the bottom of the well without suffering any harm.
After all, even Phantom Zombie can handle this height.
However, among the 10 ginseng zombies, the first three that jumped down could not withstand the impact and died directly.
With them as a buffer, the remaining ginseng zombies can jump down but avoid falling to death.
"That's not right."
Standing at the bottom of the well, Shi Li suddenly thought of something.
When selecting a template, he remembered the system prompt was:
(When you devour a zombie target, you can select/change skills)
(The maximum number of skills is 8)
(And get a small amount of value bonus)
"It seems that there is no definite answer. Is it to be a zombie?"
"Are there any NPC zombies in this ancient city?"
"Also, does the zombie I summon no longer mean a zombie?"
So his eyes fell on the three dead ginseng ghosts.
I won’t describe the specific distorted picture, it’s the kind that will probably be blurred during live broadcast.
But this did not stop Shi Li from wanting to try.
And to be honest, after achieving 100% synchronization, I didn’t find the remains of the zombie beast disgusting.
Instead, it looks like...something like food.
Without any more hesitation, he squatted down and took a light bite.
“It smells like ginseng.”
After chewing it a few times, I didn't feel anything wrong. The taste is similar to that of old bamboo shoots, with a woody texture.
After swallowing it, he immediately opened his panel.
Sadly, there was no change at all.
"I remember from the movies, it seemed like zombies always ate alive."
"So does that mean the one that hung up is invalid?"
So he turned his gaze to the intact ginseng corpses nearby.
Let one of them lift his arm and take another small bite.
Look at the panel again, it's still invalid.
"Could it be that the summons are useless?"
I have to say, this is a bit regrettable.
Otherwise he could get stuck with a BUG.
"But come to think of it, I'm sure I'm not the only one who chose the summoning skill."
"If you can become stronger by eating your own summons, then everyone should just hide away and produce and sell their own products."
Although it is a bit regrettable, it is also reasonable.
So he turned around and walked deeper into the well.
This zombie template has one big advantage over humans, which is that it has night vision ability.
Therefore, the bottom of the well without light did not pose any obstacle to Shi Li at all.
After walking about ten meters, the shaft began to become winding and narrow.
It was just narrow enough for him to pass through.
If this is changed to the firm and sad template, it may not be possible to pass.
If it was a violent zombie that was larger than the determined zombie, Shi Li could guarantee that it would definitely not work.
"Even the wells were completely dry, without a drop of water."
"It seems that this ancient city has been abandoned for a long time."
He reached out and touched the cave wall.
Years of polishing by water have made it quite smooth, without any bumps.
After crouching down and crawling through the long tunnel, he came to a rather spacious cave.
Judging from the visual, this cave is about 100 square meters in size.
If we squeeze in, it would be no problem for a few hundred people to stand there.
"Very good, the barracks are ready."
Shi Li expressed his satisfaction with this space.
At the other end of the "barracks", there is a tunnel.
After passing through another narrow tunnel, he arrived at the location of the Phantom Zombie.
At this time, it was like a piece of wood, standing blankly by the wall because it had not received any new instructions.
This is the fork in the road that I saw through the eyes of Phantom Sang just now.
This fork in the road is actually quite large.
About 60% to 70% of the cities have barracks.
"Very good, Barracks 2."
Shi Li nodded again, and then sent the Phantom Sorcerer out again.
Let it explore those other forks in the road and figure out the terrain for itself.
If you really encounter any situation, you can choose the best escape route.
As for Shi Li himself, he stayed in Barracks No. 2 and lay down.
"Put aside other things for now and send some soldiers to serve as bodyguards."
Now I have a preliminary understanding of this copy. It is a dangerous place.
Therefore, Shi Li believed that his choice to listen to Fengsang was the wisest choice.
Because among the seven types of zombie beast templates, only the Tingfeng Zang can complete the batch summoning task without making any noise.
Theoretically, Wisdom Lost is also possible, but its energy recovery is too slow, which greatly hinders efficiency.
Unlike my current situation, energy is not a problem at all.
The only obstacle that prevents him from expanding his troops and accumulating troops is the skill CD.
The summoning CD of the Ginseng Zombie is 1 minute, which means that he can only summon 60 times in an hour, or 120 monsters.
With this number, even Barracks No. 1 cannot be filled.
"But this efficiency is actually very high. I don't need to worry at all."
"Based on our experience last time, this instance will last at least seven or eight days."
"I used it to build up troops and stockpile troops for the first five or six days. Isn't that reasonable?"
"Anyway, the strongest one will just take the last five surviving beasts."
"If you can survive until victory, it will save you the most effort."
As he spoke, he had already summoned two ginseng ghosts.
Time passed slowly, and about an hour passed.
Shi Li had already filled nearly half of Barrack No. 1.
A lot of information also came from Phantom Sang.
It had reached the end of several tunnels, and without exception, the exits were wells.
In this way, Shi Li has mastered a lot of routes.
But the area of this underground cave world seemed to be quite large, because Phantom Zombie discovered many forks in the road along the way.
He now suspected that the water supply for the entire ancient city was provided by these wells.
Two hours later, Phantom was still exploring.
Apart from discovering more routes and wellheads, no unexpected situations were encountered.
However, there was a problem with the ginseng funeral.
"Um?"
1 ginseng zombie was disconnected in his mind.
After learning that other passages were also connected to the well, Shi Li dispatched a ginseng zombie to each branch of Barrack No. 2 to act as human eyes, oh no, it was zombie eyes.
Now that the ginseng zombie in one of the channels has been disconnected, there can only be one thing that can be said: he has been killed.
"Someone is coming."
Shi Li had already anticipated this possibility.
It has been two hours since we entered the dungeon. It is not strange that someone is drilling a well. Didn't he do it himself?
And to be honest, he felt that this happened too late.
But it's better this way, I'll be more prepared.
Shi Li, who had already made a plan, stood up and moved from Barracks No. 2 to Barracks No. 1.
There were not many people attending the funeral in Barracks No. 2, so it was immediately vacated.
At this time, nearly two .
With this number of teams, even if all of them have a value of 1 or 2 points, it would be enough to crush others.
Especially in the early stages, players probably don’t have much chance to become stronger by swallowing.
"Okay, okay, everyone squeeze in."
As soon as he arrived at Barracks No. 1, Shi Li took command.
The terrain of Barracks No. 1 is actually quite suitable for ambush.
The passages at both ends are narrow.
If you stand in the passage and look into the cave, your vision will become much narrower.
So he had already arranged the positions for these people who were attending the funeral.
It is in the shape of a /\, with the middle of the triangle being empty, and all of it being squeezed into the outward area of the triangle's edge lines.
In this way, when others look inside the passage, they can only see the illusion of emptiness that he deliberately created.
I thought there was nothing in here.
As for Shi Li himself, he was guarding the so-called "behind the door" position.
At this distance, it is less than 1 meter away from the entrance of the passage.
Be ready to send a big rocket to the opponent at any time, oh no, the spirit bomb.
After all the ginseng funerals were in place, he sent out another ginseng funeral.
Let it go back into the passage where the ginseng zombie was killed before, and continue to serve as a watch for you.
Sure enough, less than 10 minutes later, the ginseng zombie also lost connection.
"OK, it can be seen that the other party is continuing to move forward."
"The disconnection location is closer to me than before."
"I just don't know if the other side is alone in the funeral."
"If not, it might be a little difficult."
So after thinking about it, he sent out new ginseng mourners to test it out.
And this time, five were dispatched at once.
About 5 minutes later, the 5 ginseng zombies also died one after another.
The word “successively” here is very particular.
The reason why he sent so many people out was certainly not to kill the other party.
With their pitiful attribute values, even if they were multiplied several times, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat any player.
The main purpose is to judge the opponent's combat power by the time difference of death.
If the opponent has a large number of enemies, or has AOE means, then these 5 ginseng zombies should ascend almost at the same time.
But just now Shi Li paid special attention to the fact that the time interval between the death of each ginseng zombie was about 5 seconds.
The longest interval was 10 seconds.
"Hmm...it seems that the other party is most likely a mourning dog."
"And the combat capability should be quite average."
He had made up his mind about this.
Of course, this is just a reference, and there are still many uncertainties.
What if the other party is careful and sees through your plan?
It was clearly an alliance of three to five players, but they deliberately killed five ginseng zombies slowly to create an illusion for themselves.
This possibility is not impossible.
Anyway, just be careful in everything.
So, after waiting patiently for about 7 or 8 minutes, the disconnection sensor feedback came back again.
The last ginseng zombie left in Barrack No. 2 was killed.
The other party was getting closer and closer, making Shi Li's nerves tense.
He estimated that the enemy would arrive at the battlefield in less than 3 minutes.
The passage of time seemed to slow down at this moment.
30 seconds... 1 minute... 1 minute and 30 seconds... 2 minutes... 2 minutes and 30 seconds...
3 minutes...
4 minutes...
5 minutes...
6 minutes...
Shi Li: “???”
What is going on?
He couldn't help feeling a little confused.
After thinking about it, he sent another ginseng zombie to investigate.
He has plenty of ginseng funerals, and he has not been idle during the waiting period.
Soldiers are being built anytime and anywhere.
As a result, the ginseng funeral died immediately after entering the No. 2 barracks.
"Good fellow."
Shi Li understood it all at once.
The guy opposite probably thinks that Barracks No. 2 is spacious and plans to settle down there.
"Look at what you have accomplished."
"Why don't you just keep going forward? There is obviously a more spacious area waiting for you here."
"There are so many brothers waiting for you."
"There is still elimination waiting for you."
"Why are you content with the status quo?"
He felt helpless.
Fortunately, when he discovered the intruder, he immediately recalled the Phantom Zombie.
At this time, the guy had already arrived and was lurking in another fork in the road of Barracks No. 2.
So Shi Li immediately transferred his consciousness to the Phantom Sang.
The Phantom Sang, who was standing in the corridor waiting for instructions in a daze, suddenly became clear-headed.
Under Shi Li's control, it just lay on the ground.
Crawling slowly in the passage, approaching Barracks No. 2.
When he arrived at the entrance of the passage and looked inside, he was stunned.
Good job, this must be called good job.
By the wall of Barrack No. 2, there was a zombie beast with a code name on its head.
【Big Rock】
At this time, Brother Jushi Qiang was standing there, moving towards the wall for an unknown reason.
Judging from the green branches on his head, this is also a contestant who chose the Ting Fengsang template.
At this time, there were three zombie beasts without code names surrounding this contestant.
These three zombie beasts looked almost the same. Their skin had cracked lines like rocks, and their heads were slightly square like stones.
After a while, Shi Li saw the wall tremble slightly.
Then a large piece of wall like clay fell down and slowly condensed into a new stone corpse.
And there was a new pothole on the wall.
This seems to be a Tingfengsang player who is also taking the summoning route, and is doing exactly the same thing as himself!
(It’s not easy.)
Shi Li suddenly felt that things were becoming difficult.
These stone tombs look much higher quality than ginseng tombs just from their appearance.
But that's not the crux of the problem.
The reason is that he can't fight the enemy in Barracks No. 2.
If the large force of the No. 1 Barracks rushed forward, they could definitely kill the enemy easily.
But others are not stupid. If they can’t win, won’t they just run away?
If you don't bring enough zombie beasts, you may not be able to defeat the opponent.
I stayed where I was and observed quietly for a while, and found that it would take Brother Giant Stone about 2 minutes to dig a piece of wall to summon the Stone Zombie.
In other words, the opponent's CD is longer.
So he didn't have to worry about the other side creating too many soldiers at once, which made him feel a little relieved.
(This guy also follows the summoning route.)
(So I must acquire its skills.)
Shi Li definitely didn't want to let this guy get away.
So a plan slowly formed in his mind.
Next, it’s time to show your acting skills.
…
5 minutes later, Barracks No. 2.
Brother Jushi Qiang was standing next to the earth and stone wall, drawing a formation with his hands.
The procedure for his summoning skill is rather complicated. In addition to consuming an entire tube of energy, he also has to draw the summoning formation by hand.
Fortunately, the values of these stone zombies are still relatively strong. With the support of their own abilities, the total score can reach 16 points.
【Stone Funeral】
Attack: 2+1
Defense: 5+1
Agility: 1
Health: 5+1
Rating: 16
The movements are slow, but the advantage is the strong defense.
If combined with my own skills, the combat effectiveness is still good.
He had already decided that after summoning enough stone zombies, he would return to the ground and turn everything upside down.
Previously when he was in the ancient city above, he witnessed several fierce battles.
There are interactions between players and NPCs, and also between players.
Even he himself had encountered half-time.
Why do we say half-time? Because as soon as he saw the opponent attacking, he ran away immediately.
There was no way. After all, there was only one Stone Zombie by his side at the time, and there was no way he could be a match for the Wise Zombie.
However, it was a blessing in disguise. After escaping from the pursuit in a panic, they accidentally discovered this very suitable place to station troops.
I encountered some small monsters and zombies before, and I cleared them all out myself.
"Wow... this is such a great place!"
However, at this moment, Brother Jushi Qiang suddenly heard voices coming from the other end of the passage.
In an instant, he immediately stopped his actions and asked the eight stone zombies around him to surround and protect him.
As soon as I heard it, I knew it must be a contestant.
Because the zombie monsters in the copy can't speak.
Sure enough, not long after, he saw a limping zombie walking out of the passage.
The other party was just like himself, also mourning the loss.
At the same time, he has a code name on his head: [Wang Defa].
" Brother, I'm sorry I took this place."
After sizing him up, Jushi Qiang waved his hand and said, "Go somewhere else."
He didn't want to conflict with anyone until he had accumulated enough strength.
"Why don't you change it then?"
Shi Li looked around as if he was here for the first time, pretending to be nonchalant: "This place is spacious, perfect for stationing troops, I like it"
"Oh? Are you also a summoner?"
As the saying goes, the speaker has a meaning and the listener also has a meaning. Brother Jushi Qiang's eyebrows raised immediately.
If you ask what kind of opponent is the most attractive to you, it would naturally be the summoner player.
Because this copy requires other people's skills.
If you can obtain the opponent's summoning skills, your strength will definitely be able to reach a higher level!
As a result, just when Brother Jushi Qiang was thinking about how to prevent the other party from escaping, he suddenly saw Shi Liyi raising his hand.
call out!
A ball of light, like an energy ball, shot towards him.
Fortunately, he had already arranged the stone zombies in a row to block in front of him.
Bang!
The ball of light exploded on the stone zombie on the outermost side.
[Gah…! ]
With a big hole in its body, it staggered a few steps, then fell to the ground and died.
Shi Li: "Haha, brother, your little brother is not good enough."
Jushi Qiangge: "Haha, brother, you are out of mana."
