Volume 4 Chapter 22 Good Luck (2)
I suddenly felt something was wrong. The village chief said that those monsters would swallow and spit out the moonlight on full-moon nights. Looking at the signs of a storm coming, how could there be a moon in the sky? What was going on?
It was already dark, and now the sky was full of dark clouds, the stars and the moon were completely hidden, and the surrounding environment had become pitch dark. If a monster suddenly attacked at this moment, it would be hard to guarantee that our people would not suffer. However, soon there were some lights all around, and more and more, and I saw the soldiers plugging countless torches on the bunkers and lighting them, illuminating the village. I called Xiao Wu and asked her, and then I learned that one of the captains was named Damao Guyan, who was well prepared. Although it was a full moon night, he ordered his men to bring torches and other lighting items. Another one, Feng Lei Zhen Jiuzhou, ordered his men to dismantle a few pieces of wood used to build the bunker, chop them into firewood and burn them. The effect was not as good as torches, but it was better because it was available whenever needed and in large quantities.
I made a note in my mind: Da Mo Gu Yan is thoughtful and well-prepared, so he may develop into a staff-type talent in the future; Feng Lei Zhen Jiu Zhou is quick to respond to changes and has a flexible mind. If he has the courage to kill and make decisive decisions, he may have the potential to stand on his own.
Without waiting for my orders, Xiao Wu had already issued an order to the entire army to be on high alert. The Thunder Alliance has gone through several battles, and the military talent Xiao Wu has demonstrated is even better than mine, and now he has become more mature and stable!
Suddenly, countless dark shadows appeared in the darkness and rushed towards us from all directions. The whole village was surrounded!
At this time, it can be seen that the Thunder Corps has strict discipline. No one exclaimed, and not even the sound of whispering could be heard. Only the elven archers in charge of reconnaissance in each unit (the elves have a talent for night vision) reported to the higher-level commander.
Xiao Wu turned on the alliance communication and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, get ready. Archers, get ready. Test firing. 3, 2, 1, fire!"
Immediately, one of the squadron's archers shot out sharp arrows. Because they expected the monster to be undead, they all selected the skill "Holy Light Arrow - Three Consecutive Shots". And because the order was to test the shot, they stopped after three rounds of attack. I stared hard and was shocked to find that none of the monsters that were hit by arrows were dead!
Xiao Wu obviously noticed this as well, her expression became a little solemn, and she issued another order. Immediately, three archers among the ten guards around her drew their arrows and shot at the same target. After two rounds, the monster, which had been hit by a total of sixteen arrows (out of eighteen arrows, two missed), fell down with a bang!
Xiao Wu said to me in surprise: "Could it be that these monsters are not of the Undead type, so the Holy Light Arrows can't restrain them?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "It's definitely a necromancer, but the opponent's level is too high, so it's like this."
Xiao Wu showed a puzzled expression, and I explained: "At my level, I can only see the name of the monster with my gaze, but no other information. This monster is at least level 76 or above. Their name is Feitian Yaksha!"
I continued, "There doesn't seem to be such a monster in the official data, but folklore says that when zombies cultivate for more than 500 years, they will transform into flying yakshas and be able to leave the corpse breeding ground and move around. Flying yakshas are cruel and bloodthirsty, and move as fast as lightning. Even Taoists with less Taoism skills find it difficult to destroy them. The flying yakshas in this fantasy must have been designed based on this legend. They are many times more powerful than zombies. It's not that the holy light arrows are ineffective against them, but their defense and health are too high. It looks like we're going to have a hard fight!"
Xiao Wu felt more relieved after hearing this. Most of the team members had chosen to equip themselves with sacred equipment in advance. If other types of monsters came, our attack power would be greatly weakened!
Now that the type, level, and attributes of the enemy had been roughly determined, Xiao Wu issued a series of orders. Archers fired arrows like rain, magicians released a wall of fire, warriors drew their swords, priests chanted hymns, and the four captains carried out the orders in an orderly manner (with another team as a reserve), and the fierce battle officially began!
The Flying Yakshas were gathering in the village as usual, but after being subjected to a tentative attack from our archers, the monsters in the front row paused for a moment, and then an overwhelming attack came. They were immediately stimulated and went crazy, and they all flew towards the village!
The so-called Flying Yakshas don't really have the ability to fly, but they are so fast that they rushed to the front of our shelter in the blink of an eye. The archers didn't even have time to shoot a few arrows, and the magician's fire wall was also flashed by, unable to cause much damage to the Yakshas!
The battle entered the melee stage in an instant. Fortunately, the Thunder Corps was well-trained and did not lose their composure because of the opponent's strength. The archers and magicians quickly retreated, and the soldiers intercepted the Flying Yaksha who pounced on the cover, and fought fiercely with swords and slashes!
I tried to fight a Yaksha, and finally saw its full appearance at a close distance. It was slightly taller than the average zombie, and its body was not covered with pieces of rotten flesh, but with solid tendons. Although not well developed, it was as hard as iron, strong and powerful. Moreover, its body was covered with sparse black hair two or three inches long, its cheeks were sunken, and its fangs were exposed, which made it look ferocious and terrifying. Its pair of pitch-black claws waved like wheels, grabbing at my head and face. It was not like the average zombie with stiff limbs and clumsy movements, so it was naturally much more difficult to deal with.
But I don't even take D-level boss seriously, so how could I be afraid of this little Yaksha? Tiger Soul slashed straight at me, cutting off the shoulder and arm, and one of the Yaksha's arms. I could have dodged the other claw, but in order to test the Yaksha's attack power, I took the initiative to meet it with my chest. It was able to break my defense, deducting dozens of health points, which was quite inferior to the Barbarian. However, the claws were poisonous, but the toxicity was not very strong, far less than the golden silkworm and the like.
I felt a little relieved. Judging from their strength, the soldiers of the Thunder Corps are not afraid of them in a one-on-one fight. Although there are many Yakshas, this village is not big. Our defense circle is very tightly built. A soldier on the cover can only face two or three Yakshas at most at the same time. With the cooperation of each other and the long-range support of archers and magicians behind them, it should be no problem to resist the attack of the Yakshas.
However, these Yakshas have surrounded the village in several dense layers, and it is impossible to count their number. It will take a long time to eliminate them all, and it is not known whether there are boss-level monsters among them, which are beyond the ability of ordinary team members to resist.
After I chopped the Yaksha into pieces with three or two moves, I stopped and watched the battle closely. I saw that the members of our alliance really cooperated well. The soldiers relied on the cover to protect most of their bodies, reducing the area of attack. Without any worries, they swung the Half Moon Sword Technique, shooting arcs of sword light. Often one person could block three or four Yakshas in front of him. However, the Half Moon Sword Technique was a range attack with limited power, but each soldier had a swordsman on his side to cooperate. The sword energy was continuously emitted, and the sharp sword energy cut into the Yaksha's vital points, bringing out a lot of blood, killing the opponent and making him scream.
After all, the Yakshas were high-level monsters, and they also had ways to fight back. They cast curse spells one after another, and gray mist or fluorescent spots stained the warriors and swordsmen. Their attack and defense immediately dropped drastically. As a result, several members of the team lost blood too quickly and had no time to replenish it, so they were surrounded and killed by the Yakshas!
However, our high-level priests were the nemesis of this kind of evil magic. With a burst of hymns, the curse was dispelled or at least suppressed under the shining of holy light, and the morale of the team members was aroused. A high-level orc berserker launched the "battle cry" skill, and all comrades within ten meters around him were blessed, and their combat effectiveness increased by 20% to 30%. They launched a powerful counterattack and killed dozens of Yakshas instantly, suppressing the opponent's momentum and stabilizing the battle line.
During this period, archers, magicians and others were even more rude. Under the protection of the outer warriors, they did not need to consider defense. They shot arrows and magic desperately into the distance, landing in the group of Yakshas and causing heavy damage to the opponent.
Overall, the Thunder Group maintained its advantage, but this was no guarantee of victory. When eight Yaksha leaders wearing armor and with double horns on their heads appeared, the situation immediately changed!
The speed of the Yaksha leader was nearly times faster than that of ordinary Yakshas, and his momentum was like lightning. Most of the members had no time to react. They only saw a black shadow flash before their eyes, and then they were hit in the heart. The attack power of the Yaksha leader was even more terrifying. He dug out the hearts of these members and crushed them into pieces!
In an instant, eight members of the group were killed!
Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled as she said, "It's time, Ah Huo, Xiong Lang, attack!"
Ah Huo was the brother who caused the conflict between Jinglei League and Ao Shi Family. I stood up for him. Now he is the squadron leader under Xiao Wu, commanding a hundred high-level swordsmen. He is still wearing the "Holy Flash" that I gave him. And Jueshe Xionglang is a werewolf player of the Beast Tribe, who was transferred to a wolf cavalry. He rides a giant wolf, is extremely ferocious and brave, and was appointed as the cavalry squadron leader by Xiao Wu!
Xiao Wu was experienced and had anticipated the appearance of a boss, so she prepared a reserve team, which mainly consisted of more than 50 knights led by Xiong Lang, and there were also more than 20 highly agile swordsmen staying with her. Ah Huo, as the captain of the swordsmen, did not personally fight, but only directed the battle. At this moment, Xiao Wu gave an order, and he led these more than 20 specially selected highly agile swordsmen to rush towards the Yaksha leaders. It was obviously a set of tactics that had been practiced long ago, and Xiong Lang led more than half a team of knights to rush out to a gap in the defense circle where the alliance members deliberately withdrew, and killed into the Yaksha group!
The special team of swordsmen led by Ah Huo rushed towards the Yaksha leader in groups of three. At this time, the Yaksha leader had just broken through the defense circle and was about to kill the archers and magicians, but was entangled by Ah Huo and others. Although the Yaksha leader was fast, these swordsmen were not slow either. Although the leader was better in running, he would be caught up immediately if he was distracted in the battle. How could he have the time to slaughter our long-range attack troops?
The swordsmen seemed to have undergone special training. The three of them cooperated with each other and did not fight the leader head-on. They always harassed the opponent by means of sword energy, meteor thorns and other remote attacks. When the opponent attacked, they dodged like fish. However, they could not last long because of their high sensitivity and low defense. If they were hit by a mistake, they would be easily killed instantly. However, several Taoists who were prepared used the skill of substitute talisman, and the three swordsmen turned into six, and six turned into nine. It was difficult to tell the real from the fake. They circled around the Yaksha leader like a revolving lantern and surrounded him.
The long-range troops then turned to attack the Yakshas at close range on the defense line. After several rounds of concentrated fire, all the gaps in the defense line that were broken through by the Yaksha leader were blocked. No Yaksha could sneak in anymore. The Yakshas that had rushed in with the leader before were also quickly eliminated under the siege. Then some people were dispatched to deal with the Yaksha leaders who were besieged by swordsmen.
I cheered in my heart. It is not easy to achieve such coordination. What is more rare is that each link is smooth and natural, closely connected, and there is no flaw in the formation change. Obviously, after many practices, all members have tacit understanding. Except for the loss of more than 20 members when the Yaksha leader appeared, the crisis was resolved without more casualties. Compared with the violent group and the proud alliance, this kind of combat effectiveness is more than one level higher. Our efforts have not been in vain. The Thunder Group, which has undergone hard training, is indeed better at group combat than ordinary players. In the future, it will compete for the continent, and the Thunder Alliance will surely be the leader of the fantasy!
But I heard Xiao Wu say to me: "Alliance leader, we have no problem dealing with these ordinary monsters, but if a big boss appears later, you will have to take action!"
I nodded, while keeping an eye out for any changes in the situation, I looked towards the cavalry that took the initiative to attack. That peerless ferocious wolf was indeed a fierce general, rushing to the front of the team, with a spear in his hand like a dragon emerging from water, attacking left and blocking right, and actually creating a gap in the group of Yakshas. The more than fifty knights behind him launched a group charge, with momentum like an overwhelming tidal wave!
The knights of the Thunder Corps were at least level 40 and all equipped with unicorns. They charged with lightning speed and with incredible impact force. Most of the Yakshas that were hit were stunned, and the gap widened immediately. Moreover, few Yakshas nearby could pounce in time within two or three seconds, thus saving the knights from the worry of being besieged. The Fierce Wolf seized the opportunity and led the team to attack, but he unexpectedly broke through the siege and rushed out of the village!
But after a moment, he turned back and killed again. This time, with the special skill of the wolf cavalry of the fierce wolf "Shadow Wolf Summoning" as the guide, as he swung his spear, two red lights shot out from the tip of the spear, and transformed into two red giant wolves, which pounced on the group of Yakshas with murderous intent. The giant wolves were so powerful that they knocked over seven or eight Yakshas in a row before fading into nothingness. At this moment, the knights who had entered the group of Yakshas through the broken passage collectively used the Hundred Ripping Thorns!
One person, one hundred strikes. When I launch the Hundred Ripping Stabs alone, it is already powerful and unstoppable. Facing a dozen enemies at the same time is no problem. What does it mean when more than fifty people attack at the same time?
The weapons in the knights' hands were either spears or long swords, and suddenly there were bursts of sword lights and gun shadows in the darkness. All the flying yakshas caught in it were smashed to pieces, and a large area was cleared. The knights are worthy of being the strongest offensive force in the fantasy world!
This team of knights was able to be so powerful and move freely among the group of Yakshas, not only because of their proper tactics and close coordination, but also because Xiao Wu grasped the timing perfectly. At the moment when all the Yaksha leaders launched a general attack to break into the defense circle, she ordered the cavalry to launch a counterattack. The Yakshas lost their command, and the knights used their mobility and fierce attack power to the fullest, thus successfully disrupting the encirclement formation of the Yakshas, causing considerable chaos, and affecting the attack on our defense circle. At this moment, the leaders were pinned down, and the team members used long-range attacks to slowly consume their HP. If nothing unexpected happens, the overall situation is settled. As the number of Yakshas gradually decreases, it is only a matter of time before they are all wiped out!
But... accidents always happen when victory is about to come. Thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and lightning bolts fell from the sky and struck a mound in a corner of the village. Lightning flashed everywhere, mud and rocks flew, and the mound was blown into a huge deep pit!
This sudden abnormal situation is obviously not a natural phenomenon. I have not participated in the battle so that I can respond in time in case of any emergency. At this moment, of course, I am more focused and paying close attention to this abnormal change!
There were continuous lightning and thunder, one thunderbolt after another, as if they would not stop until the area around the pit was reduced to charred ashes. Suddenly, a ball of green light rose from the pit. A closer look revealed that it was a green bead the size of a chicken egg, emitting an eerie, ghostly light. The thunder and lightning became more and more frequent, all bombarding the bead. The strange thing was that such a horrible destructive power could not actually damage the green bead at all, and only caused the green light to flicker continuously!
This scene seemed familiar. I suddenly remembered all the fantasy novels I had read in the past. My face suddenly changed and I blurted out, "Not good!"
I quickly opened the alliance communication, bypassed Xiao Wu, and gave the order as the leader of the alliance: "Attention all magicians, use your most powerful lightning magic to attack that ball of green light, quickly!"
Xiao Wu asked curiously: "Alliance leader, what's going on?"
"Looking at this situation, it reminds me of the heavenly tribulation in novels! Legend has it that whenever a monster appears in the world, the heaven will be angry and will send down a heavenly tribulation. If the monster can survive the heavenly tribulation, it can shed its original body, change freely, and become a first-class monster fairy. If it can't survive, its soul will be scattered and it will not be able to reincarnate! The current situation shows that there is a monster that is about to cultivate and form here. Those flying yakshas must be its subordinates, summoned by it to help it survive the heavenly tribulation, but they didn't expect to be intercepted by us outside the village. Now that the time of the heavenly tribulation has arrived, the monster has no choice but to release its inner elixir to resist the heavenly tribulation. If it succeeds in surviving the tribulation, I'm afraid we are no match for it. While it is resisting the heaven with all its strength, we can just give it a kick to destroy its inner elixir and eliminate it before it comes out!"
Xiao Wu had a strange look on her face after hearing this. She obviously couldn't have imagined that Meng Huan was so creative and introduced so many mythological elements.
But the team members didn't think so much. The rules of the Thunder Team were as strong as a mountain. Suddenly, countless lightning and fire flew up from the ground, interweaving with the lightning in the sky to form a web, and bombarded the green light!
The monster's inner core suddenly failed, and a ball of green light that was originally as big as a castanea shrank to the size of a fist. I was delighted, thinking that as long as the source of this disaster was eliminated, this mission would be a success!
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden deafening bang, and the green bead exploded. A huge air wave rushed over, and even the unicorn under my mount could not stand and took two steps back. Those allies without mounts fell to the ground one after another!
Instead of being surprised, I was happy. Since the inner elixir was broken, the monster must be dead!
Unexpectedly, the green light disappeared, the thunder stopped, the dark clouds in the sky disappeared in an instant, the cold moonlight sprinkled down, and the earth was bathed in a milky white light!
Under the shining moonlight, those Yakshas screamed towards the sky one by one, their strength increased explosively, and they rushed towards us frantically. Before, under my order, the magicians all attacked the inner elixir, and the long-range attacks on the Yakshas were greatly reduced. They rushed to the defense line almost without any damage. The formation of the warriors and swordsmen was disrupted by the shock wave formed by the explosion of the inner elixir, and it was a little difficult to support!
But this was not the biggest crisis. In the pit, a figure slowly rose up, standing straight, with its feet three feet off the ground, just floating in the air! This creature had a livid face, a bloody mouth, a dove-like face and red pupils, and its eyes were fierce and frightening!
Ten thousand year old demon corpse!
This is a zombie that has been practicing for over ten thousand years. Tonight was supposed to be the night for it to become an immortal corpse, shed its shell and ascend to heaven, but we ruined its plan. It had to spit out its inner elixir to resist the calamity, which consumed a lot of its vitality. It was already forced to do so, and then it was attacked by players and heavenly thunder, and its inner elixir could not compete. The demon corpse exploded its inner elixir to disperse the heavenly thunder, and it finally succeeded in overcoming the calamity. However, losing its inner elixir is equivalent to wasting more than half of its cultivation, and it cannot transform, and has lost many magical powers. Naturally, it hates us very much, and will not be satisfied unless we are wiped out!
Actually, this mission should not have happened, but I didn't know that my account had 5 points of charm in addition to luck, which is a rarer attribute than luck. This charm attribute can be good or bad. The good one has more chances to trigger missions, so when I changed my job for the first time, I received the "Test of the Strong" mission and got the second job of archer; the bad one is that the higher the charm, the more difficult the mission is, so we got the Imperial Tomb mission by chance when we established a gang.
Therefore, when I went to ask the village chief, the system defaulted to me joining the mission. The mission was upgraded, and an ordinary plot of eliminating a group of monsters was added with the birth of a demon corpse. This demon corpse is not included in any level of Boss, but is temporarily generated by the system. Its strength can be strong or weak (of course, the weakest will not be ridiculously weak and can be easily dispatched). If it can successfully pass the heavenly tribulation without being disturbed and become a demon fairy, it may have the strength comparable to that of an A-level Boss. But now its inner elixir is destroyed and its vitality is seriously damaged. It is far inferior to a B-level Boss. It is not impossible for us to defeat it.
I didn't know all of this, but according to the logic of general legends, this moment should be the weakest time for the demon corpse. So when I saw that the demon corpse was not dead, although I was shocked, I knew that this was the best chance to kill it. So I called Xiao Wu and asked her to be responsible for all command tasks. I pulled the reins and drove the unicorn towards the demon corpse!
