"It's too dangerous at daybreak, isn't it?"
Questions were raised immediately today.
Those treasure hunters are very good at exorcising demons.
He had seen with his own eyes a zombified zombie whose arm fell off like wax hit by a hot knife with just a single stroke from a treasure hunter's finger.
That scene made him have the deep-rooted idea that treasure hunters were no match for zombie beasts.
"I have many younger brothers, so what am I afraid of?"
Shi Li just waved his hand.
【Sansanga!】xN
【Shishiga!】xN
The surrounding zombie beasts immediately roared together even louder than before.
Not to mention, the scene was quite shocking.
If it was 10 minutes ago, Shi Li would not have much confidence.
But now, it’s different. After swallowing up 8 players, the score has reached over 500 points.
He clearly felt that he had become stronger.
If you become stronger, your brothers will naturally become stronger as well.
"The players are more active at night, so it's easier to find their tracks. Besides, our vision is not obstructed at night, so why wait until daybreak?"
V-50 was also puzzled as to why the other party had no intention of continuing the hunt.
"It's true that the summoned beasts under your command are very powerful."
Thursday reminded: "But aren't you afraid that other players will also develop?"
She really didn't understand what the so-called "casual stroll" meant.
"Let me do a math problem for you."
Faced with doubts, Shi Li just waved his hand.
"I have devoured 14 people so far."
"Their level can be clearly felt. They are not weak and are above the basic template."
"That is to say, they are basically all players who have swallowed at least once."
"But I can't tell exactly how many they swallowed."
"So let's just consider them all as 1-swallow players."
"So if I swallow one 1-swallow contestant, does that mean I swallowed two contestants?"
"Because it includes this contestant and the one he swallowed."
"That means the total number of people eliminated in the dungeon has now reached 65, and I have eliminated 14 of them."
“Is it the same as having 28 people in my stomach?”
"Almost half of the eliminated people are concentrated here. What nutrients do others have to grow stronger?"
It must be admitted that these 8 people were definitely a great tonic for Shi Li.
It not only improved his combat capability, but also boosted his confidence.
"What you said... makes sense..."
After listening and thinking about it carefully, I have to admit today that Shi Li was right.
If the 100 players in the copy are divided into 100 portions of strength, Shi Li alone will occupy 29 portions.
And don't forget, on Thursday, there were 3 swallows, he himself had 1 swallow, Qingyu had 1 swallow, and V-50 had 2 swallows.
That is to say, the four of them still have 4+2+2+3=11 points of power in their hands.
Including Shili’s, there are 40 copies in total!
Unless all the remaining forces are concentrated on one opposing player, there is really no team that can shake their position!
In this situation, if Shi Li could just swallow a few more players, it would be almost certain that he and his temporary small team would advance.
"So you want to..."
Today I seem to understand Shi Li’s intention a little bit.
"That's right, since promotion is not a problem."
Shi Li nodded and said, "Then why don't we go and deal with the NPCs?"
"You mean accepting the mission?"
Thursday suddenly realized.
"That makes sense. During the day, quest NPCs might be more likely to appear."
V-50 echoed.
"So everyone, you are not completely without anything to do."
"Could you help me find the NPC for the mission?"
"Of course, I will transfer part of the command of the Zombie Beasts to you, so you don't have to worry about your safety."
So Shi Li expressed his thoughts.
To be honest, apart from Qingyu who is related to me, the other three are complete strangers.
If you really want to advance yourself, you have to put in some effort.
V-50 had no objection to this decision today, Thursday.
So next, Shi Li temporarily entrusted the command of 200 ginseng zombies + 100 stone zombies to Qingyu.
She will lead the team to find the mission NPC.
If any contestant is found and killed along the way, Qingyu will be the one to devour him, because he only trusts her.
Shi Li himself, with the remaining, even larger army of zombie beasts, began to sweep in another direction.
After the previous wave of devouring, his skills were also partially updated.
[Ability User]: Ability value greatly improved
[Don't want to move]: When lying down, the energy recovery efficiency is greatly improved
[Rapid Casting]: Skill cooldown time is reduced
[Hot-blooded Legion]: Temporarily increases the speed of summoned zombies
[Replenish Vitality]: Fires a powerful vitality bomb
[Ginseng Legion]: Summon 2 follower zombies
[Earth and Stone Soldier]: Draw a spell and use earth and stone to create a stone zombie
[Phantom Clone]: Summon 1 Phantom Zombie
He now feels that these 8 skills are basically the best configuration for summoning Liu Ting Fengsang in this dungeon.
It covers all aspects, and its own combat capability is not bad, and it can launch more spirit bombs faster.
So they split into two groups and started the so-called "random wandering".
If you encounter a contestant, find an opportunity to devour him.
However, the main purpose is still exploration.
As for the communication between the two parties, Phantom Sang acts as the intercom.
Shi Li asked them to break one of Phantom's fingers when they wanted to talk to him directly.
After sensing that Phantom is injured, he will immediately transfer his consciousness over.
I feel that Phantom's ten fingers should be enough for tonight's communications.
Phantom Zombie can not only carry his will, but also directly accept tasks, so it is quite convenient.
As a result, after a night, Shi Li felt quite depressed.
I didn’t even see a single hair of the mission NPC.
Instead, it swallowed up two more contestants who were traveling together.
Qingyu and his friends' harvest was even worse. Not only did they not see the fruit, they didn't even get to eat it.
We even lost 70 or 80 of our zombie minions.
Because the command was transferred after all, there would always be some delay in the transmission of Qingyu's orders.
This resulted in some inability to command when encountering battles.
Since the four of them had almost already advanced, they naturally would not step forward and take the risk to fight the contestants, including Qingyu himself.
So it’s not that I didn’t meet the players, it’s that I didn’t win.
In the second half of the night, all the contestants became alert and acted very cautiously.
In the two hours before dawn, no one was eliminated.
During the day, most of the contestants found places to hide.
After all, even if some of them are 2-swallow or even 3-swallow players, they think they don't have the courage to face those treasure hunter NPCs.
But Shi Li was different. He just strolled around the street with a group of younger brothers.
"I always tried to avoid those NPCs, but when I really looked for them, none of them were there."
Looking at the streets with nothing on them except his little brothers, he couldn't help but complain.
Since this is a copy, he believes that those NPCs probably have a reason for their existence .
The meaning of their existence to him was not to chase the players around in the ancient city and increase the difficulty for them .
But if we can deal with these NPCs, can we also expand the card pool?
I can't be sure about this until I try it.
"Um?"
But at this moment, Shi Li's eyebrows suddenly raised.
Because he sensed that Qingyu had broken one of Phantom Sang's fingers.
You know, they only broke up once throughout the whole night, and this is the second time.
So he quickly found the nearest well, jumped in, and let the army of zombie beasts protect him inside and outside.
Shi Li closed his eyes and transferred his consciousness over.
"What's going on here?"
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Qingyu and others gathered in a corner.
"You come, look at this."
When he heard Shi Li talking today, he made way.
It turned out that the person they were watching was a guy sitting on the ground and eating heartily.
This guy is completely naked, and his skin color is very special, almost the same as the surrounding environment.
Has three eyes and is dressed in rags.
Judging from the fact that it has lost half of its face and its bones are exposed, it must be a zombie.
But there is no code name on its head, so it is an NPC zombie.
The key point is what this guy is eating, it's a ginseng zombie.
Ginseng is lost here, it really feels like ginseng.
I ate mouthful after mouthful until my stomach was bloated.
However, the swelling will only last for a few seconds before disappearing and becoming shriveled again.
【Anything left to eat? 】
After eating a ginseng zombie, the NPC turned around and looked at the contestants.
"There's plenty to eat, take your time."
Qingyu quickly commanded another ginseng funeral to be sent up.
"This NPC is very stealthy and slippery."
"We had lost it once before and it took us 30 minutes to find it again."
"You need to keep feeding it so it won't run away."
Afterwards, today he introduced the situation to Shi Li.
"So what is the mission it gives?"
Shi Li showed an interested expression.
"You can find out by asking it yourself."
Qingyu pointed.
"OK."
Shi Li walked straight up to the other person and asked, "What can I do for you?"
[Help me, huh?]
This question seemed to trigger the NPC's mechanism, so it looked at Shi Li.
[Trigger the Three-Eyed Beast's Quest]
[After completing the task, you will have an additional chance to draw a card]
[And the three-eyed zombie enters the card pool]
Copy prompts follow.
[Demon slayer, very annoying]
[Always, chasing me]
[Kill it, okay?]
【嘎】
The language system of the three-eyed zombie beast seemed to be imperfect, but Shi Li still understood what it meant.
[Yes/No to accept the mission of the three-eyed beast]
[Mission: Protect the three-eyed zombie and kill a treasure hunter who is following it]
"Isn't this a coincidence?"
When Shi Li saw it, he was immediately delighted.
This coincides exactly with my plan.
And the demon slayer came to us on his own initiative.
"I've accepted this mission, but not now."
So he looked at Qingyu and others.
"After all, we don't know whether the demon slayer who appears at that time will be strong or weak, so it's better to be well prepared."
"I need my main body to lead a large force over here. Please help me hold him back first."
"Is it enough for Zang Beast brother? If not, I will transfer all the nearby Zang Meat Eyes over here."
He said so.
Qingyu and others also felt that this was safer and nodded in agreement.
As for the food used to keep the three-eyed zombie beast, there is still plenty and no need to replenish it.
After the handover, Shi Li's consciousness returned to his original body.
After determining the direction, he immediately began a forced march with his thousands of men.
In order to take care of each other, he and Qingyu would act separately at any time, but they were not too far apart.
Even if they stay still, it will probably only take them less than 10 minutes to cover the distance if we walk at full speed in a straight line.
This is because the zombie beast’s movement speed is not high.
If Shi Li rode alone, he would arrive in about 5 minutes.
But he didn't feel rushed in these few minutes, since no one could stop him anyway.
However, such a large number of people moving through the streets was bound to cause quite a stir.
For example, those stupid zombies don’t know how to go around obstacles when they encounter them, but just wade through them.
As a result, many of the already extremely old buildings, walls and other structures were knocked down.
"Hmm?"
Less than 5 minutes after the entire army set out, Shi Li discovered that in a certain area on the edge of the large group, the number of zombie beasts suddenly decreased by a few.
After a few seconds, a few more were gone.
It can be said that it is being cut continuously, in a very rhythmic way.
Considering the current situation of this ancient city, the only reason for the reduction in the number of Zang Beast's minions is that they encountered the enemy.
So he quickly ordered the stone mourners carrying the bed to change direction and head towards the scene of the incident.
"What does this guy mean?"
When he arrived at the scene, Shi Li couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
I saw that a small area of ​​the zombie beast troops in my position were cleared out.
In that open space, there was a guy who was dancing with a sword like crazy, slashing at the zombies.
The long sword made of red energy matter was as sharp as mud in his hands.
Wherever they went, there were groups of dead animals falling down.
The other hand grabbed the remains of the zombie and started biting them with big mouthfuls.
"Isn't this guy that guy?"
Shi Li didn't recognize him at first.
But as soon as he saw the red scabbard on his waist, he recognized it.
The old man with the sword, the old man with the sword who had issued a task to him before.
Compared to the ruthless flesh and bones , the opponent's body is now relatively fuller.
Although he is still quite thin, at least he has a human figure.
"He... found his sword?"
"And it turned into a zombie?"
Looking at the other party eating the zombie, he thought he had the answer.
Perhaps he was freed after escaping the barrier, but perhaps some curse remained, and his body turned into a zombie.
When Shi Li thought about it again, he couldn't help but doubt that Daqueque and Xiaoyuanyuan might have been hacked to death by the old man with the sword after he escaped from the mutation.
This suddenly made him feel a little scared. If he was the one who broke through the barrier, would he also be chopped to death?
It seems that the mission of this copy is a bit precarious. After completing the mission and getting the reward, will you face the risk of being eliminated?
"But after learning about the background of the story, you will find him quite pitiful, even though he is just a projected NPC."
"Let me give you a hand."
As he said this, Shi Li snapped his fingers.
【Shishiga!】xN
Two circles of stone zombies came out and replaced the ginseng zombies, forming an encirclement around the zombie beast of the old man with the sword.
They have hard skin so their defense is higher and they shouldn't be killed instantly by one sword.
However, it turned out that Shi Li was overthinking.
【Jian Ga! 】
The old man with the sword swung his sword at the beasts, but they died as usual.
It can be seen that in addition to the sharp sword moves, the red energy sword should also be very sharp.
[More...flesh and blood! ]
And at this time, the old man with the sword and his beast seemed to have discovered Shi Li's existence.
In his eyes, Shi Li, a guy with abundant energy in his body, seemed to be far more attractive than these minions and zombies.
So he adjusted the direction and rushed over.
With that red energy sword in hand, no little brother can stop it.
“Tsk.”
Seeing this scene, Shi Li suddenly felt something was wrong.
He hurriedly ordered the zombies carrying the bed to retreat, and immediately fired a spirit bomb.
Boom!!!
The power of this energy bomb was so great that it directly blasted a large hole in the ground with a diameter of more than 2 meters.
All the zombie minions in the range couldn't hold on, leaving only pieces of rotten flesh on the ground.
The old man with the sword and the beast disappeared as well.
"Hmm? Done?"
"It shouldn't be that simple, does it have some other means of hiding?"
Shi Li certainly didn't believe that a powerful NPC who could handle the zombie army with ease could be defeated by just one of his energy bombs.
Until...
[Ding Dong! ]
[You killed the swordsman]
[This NPC enters the card pool]
It wasn't until the copy popped up a prompt that he really believed it.
"Sure enough! Killing an NPC will give you a chance to enter the pool!"
"But this guy's body is too fragile!"
Despite complaining, Shi Li was still very excited.
Doesn't that mean that I will be able to draw the two cards [Sword Old Man] and [Sword Mourning]?
The degree of integration between the two must be very high, right?
Although I don’t know the specific panel yet, it is definitely worth a try.
"It's so nice. It's really better during the day."
“You can meet an NPC along the way.”
"Well, but it's also a dead beast, so it seems more likely to be encountered at night."
No matter what, Shi Li still felt that he had gained something.
This also means that if you receive and complete the task of the Three-Eyed Zombie later, it will be equivalent to getting two more cards into the pool.
So he continued to move forward with the large group, and after another 5 or 6 minutes, he finally met up with Qingyu and the others.
The good news is that the three-eyed zombie NPC is still there.
[Yes/No to accept the mission of the three-eyed beast]
[Mission: Protect the three-eyed zombie and kill a treasure hunter who is following it]
Facing the task panel that popped up again, Shi Li waved his hand proudly.
"Yes!"
The experience of instantly killing the old man with sword and the zombie beast made him a little more confident.
No matter what kind of NPC it is, I will deal with it.
