Main Volume Chapter 114: The Eve of the War: Rapid Upgrade
All the heroes went out, and the Undead army was immediately beaten back. Zhang Yun also took this opportunity to fly close to the ground and used the attack skills of the Wand of Darkness to clear out the low-level Undead that were left with little health after being beaten by the Rain of Resurrection.
"undercurrent!"
Zhang Yun waved his staff and a beam of energy shot towards the yellow sand. Then with a buzzing sound, a mass of black unidentified matter emerged from the ground and expanded rapidly like a black hole, swallowing up every skeleton soldier it touched.
Then, the black unidentified substance suddenly exploded and scattered like splashing ink, then turned into black smoke and disappeared in mid-air.
Those undead soldiers that came into contact with the black substance were also blown up by the explosion and fell one after another on the yellow sand. The blood bars on their heads dropped rapidly, and many of the fragile undead creatures died instantly.
[“Skeleton Soldier” is dead! ]
[Those who participated in the killing will get equal experience! ]
[The Tide Murloc Captain killed the "Skeleton Soldier" and gained 3210 experience points! ]
[The Undead Purifier killed the "Skeleton Soldier" and gained 3210 experience points! ]
[You finally killed the "Skeleton Soldier" and gained 5510 last hit experience! ]
[“Skeleton Archer” is dead! ]
…
After a round of skills were used up, Zhang Yun opened his backpack, put on a new dark magic staff, and continued to use skills at the undead creatures in that area. He then repeated the process over and over again, constantly changing equipment and casting skills to maintain his large-scale output.
Just like that, several consecutive "undercurrents" killed all the undead creatures in that area, and Zhang Yun also gained full experience from finishing off the enemy, which was at least five times more than the experience gained from adding buffs and assists before.
He did not stop, and ordered the spirit crane to move forward, replacing a group of undead creatures that had lost half of their health, and continued to use the "Undercurrent" to bomb them until they were all killed.
Afterwards, Zhang Yun's level began to rise rapidly, jumping directly from 29 to 30, and her experience was still increasing rapidly. It wouldn't be long before she could jump to level 31.
What is more crucial is his professional level. Although the experience required is much higher than his own level, the attribute improvement brought by each level up is far greater than the attribute enhancement brought by increasing his own level.
Especially since this thing can also work on heroes and followers, directly raising their career level caps...
However, the strange thing is that although Zhang Yun's professional level is rising higher and higher, he has not automatically learned new professional skills. From the initial level 1 to the current level 14, he has not learned any professional skills except for the four basic spells obtained as task rewards.
However, according to the normal process, Zhang Yun should have learned several spells by now, including some relatively powerful intermediate magic that can instantly kill some ordinary creatures of the same level...
How is this going?
Magical change?
Well, that's understandable. After all, the way to obtain professions in this world is different from that in the game, and the profession tasks triggered are also different.
Of course, it's not surprising that it changes the way professional skills are acquired...
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun sighed and talked to herself helplessly.
"so?"
"Does this make me the same as other professionals?"
"Learn all those various professional skills by your own ability?"
"Or with a suitable skill book?"
"Can't learn it automatically?"
To be honest, according to the normal process of time travel, Zhang Yun would always fight monsters of similar strength to himself, so this restriction was acceptable. It added difficulty to his time travel but did not completely overwhelm him.
However, facing the current situation, this restriction is extremely troublesome. It completely reduces Zhang Yun's upgrade speed and even prevents him from using development items to help the heroes ascend to higher levels.
Fortunately, Zhang Yun had a quick mind and thought of the special equipment, the Wand of Darkness, which could help him level up quickly. This equipment made up for the embarrassment of not having any damaging skills to kill monsters, and even went against his original plan, speeding up Zhang Yun's upgrade.
If Zhang Yun relied on her own spell skills, with her professional level of 14, at most she could learn one or two spells like ice spikes, and kill two or three undead creatures in seconds.
And with the help of the Dark Magic Staff, a transitional equipment that can only be obtained in the middle of the game, his magic attack is now comparable to one-fifth of Lily's.
Although the overall damage is not much, it has a large range and has super restraining skills such as Rain of Resurrection to help it reduce the monster's health, which is just right for leveling up by killing undead creatures.
However, this trick only works now. If it were any other situation, it wouldn't work.
After all, the casting distance of Undercurrent is very short, and the overall damage is also very low. If there is no Rain of Resurrection to help reduce blood and weaken it, Zhang Yun will have to stand in front of the monsters and use skills for at least a dozen rounds in a row to kill so many ordinary monsters of more than level 30.
The enemies will definitely not stand there and let you use your skills to blow them up. During this time, they will definitely rush up, and you must let the hero and followers block them and protect yourself, which will result in a bunch of monsters being accidentally killed by the hero, and a large loss of experience.
This only applies to low-level monsters. If it is an elite monster or a BOSS monster, the undercurrent's attack is just a tickle to them and cannot kill them at all. However, they can kill Zhang Yun, who is only at the one-star level, with a set of three-combo attacks.
Therefore, Zhang Yun was very clear that she might never come across such a good opportunity again.
We must take advantage of this time to gain more experience!
As a result, Zhang Yun fought even harder, sweeping across the country like a bomber, continuously dropping undercurrents with a huge range, killing the low-health undead in front of him and grabbing a lot of experience points for finishing off the enemy.
His level continued to rise, his main body level rose to level 32, his professional level broke through level 15, and his inheritance level was also improved, and he learned new command skills...
"Ah, this?"
Effie, who was hanging far up in the sky, was completely stunned.
She couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Yutiel, is he...really not worth caring about?"
Lucina said casually, "No, let's just stay here and watch his performance slowly until he comes back."
After a pause, Lucina took out a plate of mixed fruit platter from her arms. Am ate it in one bite, then handed it to her and asked, "This is a snack made by Zhang Yun. It's called a hundred fruit platter. It's delicious. Do you want some?"
Effie: “…”
Big brother, could you please tell me what is the situation now?
The holy city is in danger, a large number of enemies want to break through the holy city, and we have at least tens of thousands of undead creatures below us, staring at us hungrily. How can you still have the mood to eat this thing called a hundred-fruit plate?
Uh, thinking about it carefully, I have been rushing on the road today and haven't had breakfast yet. Now I am a little hungry...
never mind……
Eat a little first...
Fill your stomach to have the strength to fight the undead...
After thinking about it, Effie controlled the crane to fly to Lucina, then caught the plate thrown by Lucina and tasted the fruit flesh with an unknown white substance sprinkled on it.
"ah!"
"This is?"
After eating the fruit, Effie was surprised.
I originally thought it was just an ordinary fruit, but it turned out to be completely different. The white sauce on it tastes sweet and fragrant. When paired with those fruits of different flavors, it feels like sinking into a large green meadow, which makes people feel extremely comfortable!
This is so delicious! ?
There is such a special delicacy in the world! ?
Lucina explained, "The white sauce is called salad. I don't know how it's made. If you're interested, you can ask Zhang Yun. He made it."
"oh!"
"correct!"
“I have other flavors here!”
“Come and try it!”
Effie nodded quickly: "Yeah!"
As a result, Aifei, who was originally full of enthusiasm, also fell into the temptation of snacks. She was fascinated by all kinds of delicious salads and instantly forgot that she still wanted to help Zhang Yun eliminate the undead...
Afterwards, under Zhang Yun's deliberate command, several nuclear-level heroes did not go on a killing spree, and those elemental elves did not clear the field. Instead, they specifically attacked the more troublesome elite BOSSes among the undead creatures to prevent them from disturbing Zhang Yun who was gaining experience.
Relying on this tactic, Zhang Yun obtained most of the experience of finishing off low-level undead. His personal level directly increased by seven levels to level 36, and his professional level also increased by five levels to level 18.
But correspondingly, the speed of clearing the undead was a little slower. The undead army that could have been killed in just over ten minutes took an hour to kill.
Even in heaven, the two people were full and chatting with each other, talking about the taste of the various snacks they had just eaten.
"Um……"
"It's a bit slow..."
"I wonder if the people in the Holy City need this little bit of time..."
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun frowned. He actually wanted to quickly get rid of this undead army, but compared with the rapid improvement of his own level, the dozens of minutes saved by quickly getting rid of this undead army was not worth mentioning at all.
After all, the higher Zhang Yun's level, the higher the level his summoned heroes and followers can ascend to.
The level of heroes has been changed from 49 to 55, and the level of professions has also been changed from 23 to 28.
The higher the level of the hero, the higher their attributes will be, the more skills they will learn, and their power will become stronger and stronger, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
Even if there are many strong enemies later, Zhang Yun has to summon new powerful heroes. He can also raise the heroes to level 55 and professional level 28 at the moment of summoning, but it will cost more experience crystals and goddess water.
And these things may be very scarce upgrade materials for other players.
But for Zhang Yun, who was so frugal in her previous life and would never recruit anyone unless it was a critical moment, she had more than enough to use.
Therefore, the only thing that can stop Zhang Yun now is his own level. As long as Zhang Yun can level up quickly, even if he can never learn other spell skills and can't fight the enemy with his own strength, he can rely on those heroes who instantly ascend to level 50 or level 100 to beat the opponent.
And the stronger those heroes are, the greater the chance of defeating Ajid at this stage, and the higher the probability of being able to save the Holy City...
Therefore, Zhang Yun, who understood the situation in his mind, did not hesitate too much. He directly called back all his followers and only kept four main forces, Zunge, Lily, Lanzab and Camilla, by his side. Each of them was equipped with a spirit crane, and they continued to set sail towards the holy city.
Then, on the afternoon of the third day, Zhang Yun and others who were advancing non-stop encountered another group of undead troops.
Their strength level is similar to that of the previous undead army, all starting at level 30. Among them, many powerful undead have reached level 40, and there are also various elite undead with long-range attack capabilities.
However, compared to the undead army that had been wiped out in the morning, this force was more difficult for Zhang Yun and others to deal with.
Because there were a lot of flying undead beasts among them, unlike the previous undead army which only had a few of them and were taken away by mages like Lily and Camilla with just a few clicks.
Therefore, Zhang Yun must find a way to kill these flying animal bone undead first, and also withstand various long-range attacks from the ground and not be shot by them with bows and magic.
"Well……"
“What a hassle…”
"Fortunately, I have the Great Rain of Resurrection that can restrain the undead..."
"If this had been a wave of monsters at level 30 or 40, we would have been surrounded by them and it would have taken us a long time to deal with them..."
However, there are no "ifs" in this world. Good luck is good luck, and a strong background is strong. It was destined that Zhang Yun would have a specialized hero that could perfectly defeat the undead, and it could not be changed.
Therefore, Zhang Yun was not at all weak. He directly summoned the barrier elf and released a combination skill of a large barrier at the beginning to protect himself and all his companions.
Then, he summoned the "Great Rain of Resurrection", spreading vitality across the entire land, weakening the attributes of all undead while causing them to lose blood continuously.
Then Zhang Yun dispatched all the main heroes and followers to clear out the undead on the ground first, then descended to the safe area, summoned a large number of web-catching spiders that had been prepared long ago, and used restraining skills to pull down all the troublesome animal bones flying in the sky.
Without the advantage of flying, and continuously losing health and being weakened by the Rain of Resurrection, the undead bones transformed from these flying monsters were nothing more than punching bags. They were killed instantly by just a few hits from the three nimble Templar Cats.
After killing these flying beast skeletons, only the skeleton archers and long-range attackers like liches are left, but their attack power is not enough to instantly penetrate the large barrier created by the barrier elves.
Zhang Yun also has the five Shadow Rings that were seized at the beginning. The shields they create are even stronger and can continuously replenish energy with the magic stone and the wearer's physical strength. As long as they are not broken at once, they are equivalent to existing forever.
Therefore, the so-called trouble is only slightly more difficult than those low-level undead who can only take a beating.
In fact, to Zhang Yun, who was well prepared, they posed no threat at all...
Next, it was the same routine again. Zhang Yun deliberately let Zun Ge and other heroes slack off, while he rode a spiritual crane and cast undercurrents everywhere, constantly killing the undead that were damaged by the rain of resurrection, getting their finishing experience, and quickly improving his own level.
Thanks to these "delivery" undead, Zhang Yun was able to level up several levels. His main level became level 38, and his professional level also rose to level 20.
At the same time, facing the huge danger that was about to come, Zhang Yun did not save any money and directly spent a lot of experience crystals and goddess water to raise the levels of several main heroes to the maximum, making the main body level 58 and the professional level 30.
Then they continued on their journey .
Zhang Yun just made some slight arrangements and secretly summoned old man Haha, asking him to use the strengthening stones to forge all the weapons and equipment, upgrading them all to the corresponding levels of the heroes and improving the various attributes attached to the weapons and equipment.
What followed was exactly the same as when he made the Wand of Dark Magic. Zhang Yun first collected the white carrier pigeons filled with weapons, and then collected the idle old man Haha. He did not spend any extra time to strengthen all the equipment.
Just like that, even though it was the eve of a major battle, Zhang Yun's overall strength was rising rapidly...
