Chapter 12 The Disaster of the Artifact

The dim sky and the dark land are the unchanging portrayal of the abandoned mine.

Occasionally, there was a sound of bones breaking, which made the bones soft.

The skeleton warrior was holding a bone blade and running at full speed in front, followed by two abandoned skeletons that were one size larger than it.

While constantly opening and closing his muscleless jaw, he held the rusty iron knife high in the air and chased after the skeleton warrior.

The distance between the Abandoned Skeleton and yourself is 50 yards for the effective range of Weakness and 55 yards for the effective range of Inertness.

Lu Hao accurately calculated the distance between himself and the abandoned skeleton.

Every time, as soon as the Abandoned Skeleton entered the coverage range of his skills, he would immediately cast out the Slowness and Weakness spells and cast them on the two Abandoned Skeletons in front and behind respectively.

Then cast Death Ray on the nearest Abandoned Skeleton.

Under Ma Yingjie's instruction, the skeleton warrior turned around and faced two abandoned skeletons that were taller and more powerful than himself, and fought a desperate battle.

The sound of the bone blade colliding with the bone and the sound of the iron knife sinking into the bone are enough to make one's teeth ache.

The discordant sounds of fighting seemed particularly harsh in the abandoned mine, which was as quiet as a cemetery.

"Accept the punishment of darkness - the light of death." Ma Hao chanted the spell quickly, pointing the Madru staff in his hand forward. Black rays of light flashed one after another and instantly sank into the body of the abandoned skeleton.

The Death Light spell can be chanted very quickly, not only has a short cooldown period, but it is also much faster than other spells.

Although the attack was poor, Ma Yingjie firmly believed that quantity could make up for the lack of quality.

—124~—132—118~~~

Following this method, after dealing with dozens of abandoned skeletons, Lu Hao successfully reached level 12. Although this method of spawning monsters is quite efficient, it is not the limit, and Lu Hao is not satisfied with it.

Being adventurous does not mean being reckless. Ma Yingjie first added a bone shield to himself.

After the pale bones surrounded his body, Ma Yingjie took out the Ring of the Betrayer from the package and put it on. This way, even if the Abandoned Skeleton got close to him, he would not die instantly.

The process of killing monsters and leveling up is boring. Everyone in the game has to go through this long and boring process.

Ma Yingjie calmly used his skills on the abandoned skeletons around him. Only when the skill proficiency is high can the skill be upgraded, and advanced skills are the basis for being invincible in the game.

As the saying goes: It takes ten years to sharpen a sword.

Although it is exaggerated, it is true. The lost wind and the withered redbud flowers appear on the level list, but how many people care about the day and night monster-killing and leveling behind them! Because the world is long and vicissitudes, and people are short-sighted, and they only see the glorious moments.

Fighting monsters at the edge of the mine was no longer enough for Lu Hao, so he had to carefully clear the area inside.

He used his consciousness to give the skeleton warrior an order to lure three monsters at a time. The skeleton warrior, who only knew how to obey orders, disappeared into the pile of jagged rocks, and soon heard the sound of bones breaking behind the rocks.

The skeleton warrior carried out Lu Hao's orders without reservation, and soon appeared in Lu Hao's sight with three abandoned skeletons.

As a price, one of the skeleton warrior's arms was chopped off by one of the abandoned skeletons.

Still following the same method, release the slowness and weakness spells on the two abandoned skeletons in front.

Then he cast the Light of Death on the third Abandoned Skeleton while slowly moving backwards to keep a certain distance from the Abandoned Skeleton.

Although the Death Ray has no effect, it will cause about 0.2 stiffness when it hits the Abandoned Skeleton. Although this short period of time is very short, it can be used to control the speed of the monster.

Under Lu Hao's instruction, the skeleton warriors blocked the two abandoned skeletons that were hit by negative buff magic.

Lu Hao attacked the third abandoned skeleton in succession, and before the third abandoned skeleton reached him, all its blood was emptied.

With an unpleasant sound of bones falling, the abandoned skeleton turned into Ma Yingjie's experience after contributing more than ten copper coins.

The other two abandoned skeletons also smashed the skeleton warriors that blocked their advance and regained their speed.

The slowness and weakness spells were once again injected into the bodies of the two abandoned skeletons. While retreating, Ma Yingjie concentrated his firepower on dealing with one of them.

After killing this one, the Abandoned Skeleton had come to a position 5 yards in front of Lu Hao. The Necromancer, who was at a disadvantage in speed, could not dodge, and Lu Hao took the Abandoned Skeleton's blow.

Seeing that he had lost 13 points of blood, Lu Hao calmed down and cast the slow and weak spells again, while continuously emitting the light of death. After struggling to resist twice, the abandoned skeleton also fell into the dark soil.

"Great Dark Lord, please grant me your faithful servants - Skeleton Servant."

On the skeleton of the last abandoned skeleton that died, Ma Yingjie summoned out a skeleton warrior holding a bone blade and began to repeat the action.

………………

After much thinking, Ma Yingjie was finally able to eliminate the three abandoned skeletons without being hit.

After Ma Yingjie killed an abandoned skeleton with a ray of death, a cold voice sounded not far behind him.

"Boy, you have occupied our territory for a long time."

"Oh, really!" Ma Yingjie's voice suddenly turned cold. When he came just now, there was no one here, but now they say it's their territory. Ma Yingjie never had a good impression of overbearing people.

Turning around, I saw several players who were missing parts. It was a team composed entirely of players who had changed their jobs.

A priest, two warriors, two mages and a thief. Except for the lack of a knight, it can be said that all professions are complete.

The one in the front was a warrior holding a blue sword and wearing white equipment. He was the one who made the voice just now, and he was looking at Ma Yingjie with ill intentions.

"Then I'll give it to you." Holding back the resentment in his heart, Ma Yingjie decided to give in. If a person showed off his strength in front of a small team like theirs, he would obviously suffer a loss. When under a short roof, he had to bow his head.

"Stop, you can go, but leave the Ring of the Betrayer behind." The leading soldier saw that Ma Yingjie could actually swallow his anger and wanted to leave quietly, but he finally couldn't help it.

Obviously, the other party had recognized this ring from the light of the Ring of the Betrayer.

Oh, no wonder you came here to find fault, it’s all because of the artifact. The damn Yitian Company has not yet opened the setting of hidden light.

I was so focused on killing monsters and practicing my skills that I forgot to pay attention to the movements around me. The colorful light of the artifact was so conspicuous in the dim abandoned mine, and I was spotted by them.

However, from what the warrior said, he obviously failed to recognize that the skeleton warrior was his summoned creature, not the player.

"Then you try it." Ma Hao stopped suddenly, tightly grasping the Madru Staff, and stared coldly at the warrior in front of him and the player behind him.

If I retreat at this point, I would be doing a disservice to the thing under my crotch.

The skeleton warriors, under Ma Yingjie's instruction, ran into the mine. They couldn't defeat so many people, but killing with someone else's knife was feasible.

Although those people saw it, they didn't react. In their opinion, the skeleton warrior should be a player of the warrior or knight profession. Seeing this scene, they wanted to leave Ma Yingjie alone and escape, which was exactly what they wanted.

"Boy, you'd better hand over the artifact obediently, otherwise you will be reincarnated into the Novice Village." The warrior leader threatened Lu Hao. In his opinion, a mage had no chance of winning when encountering a team with a complete range of professions. The reason why he was so "kind" in "advising" Lu Hao was because he might not get the artifact.

"Hmph, take it if you have the guts." After saying this indifferently, Ma Yingjie began to chant the spell of the bone shield.

………………The pioneer of darkness, the remnant of the immortal, as a person under the contract of darkness……………………………………I ask for your blessing and grant me powerful………………protection…………

After hearing Ma Yingjie's spell, the two mages in the team's expressions changed noticeably.

They were mages, and although they practiced fire magic, they still knew what other spells looked like. Ma Yingjie's spell was obviously not from any of the seven magic systems.

"He is a hidden profession, quickly interrupt his spellcasting." One of the fat fire mages holding a pinewood staff shouted.

Unfortunately, although his roar reminded those people, it also allowed Ma Yingjie to complete the spell.

……………………Bone Shield……~~

Ma Yingjie chanted the spell in a low voice, and as the last byte came out of his mouth, a flash of dark elements appeared, and his body was covered with white bones.

"Undead spirits from the underworld, weaken your opponent's strength - Weakness Spell." Ma Hao then chanted the spell, targeting the two warriors who were rushing up.

Two consecutive Weakness spells were cast into the bodies of the two warriors, and their movements were immediately slowed down. Because their level was too low and their skill proficiency was not high enough, they could only add negative status to one enemy at a time. When the Weakness spell reached a high level, it could be used on a large group of enemies.

System prompt: If you maliciously attack the player's Laughing Wolf, it will enter combat mode and the opponent will have half an hour to defend himself.

System prompt: You maliciously attack the player Flying Piggy and enter combat mode. The opponent has half an hour of legitimate defense time.

It turns out that the hideous warrior is called the Laughing Wolf. Laughing Wolf, now that the skeleton army has arrived, I wonder if you can still laugh.

"Whoa!"

The fireballs of the two mages hit Lu Hao with long tail flames, causing -56-67 damage in succession. This was because the Betrayer's Ring reduced the damage by 50%.

Ma Yingjie quickly stuffed a bottle of red medicine into his mouth. Damn it, the area has just been opened and the players' life skill levels are too low, so they can't practice anything good.

NPCs only sell potions that restore a certain amount of energy per second, and there is no instant recovery. I have no choice but to take whatever I can get.

He didn't dare to stay there for even a moment. The thieves in that team had just sneaked away, and now the place around him was full of danger.

The elusive movements of assassins and thieves are always a nightmare for mages.

Fortunately, the situation was not as bad as Lu Hao had imagined. The young priest in the team was obviously a rookie who only knew one basic healing spell and the Holy Hammer.

To Lu Hao who was immune to light magic, he was just a decoration. The little blood he recovered each time was not enough for a death light attack.

System prompt: You are maliciously attacked by the player's magical white mouse and enter combat mode. You have half an hour of self-defense time.

System prompt: You are attacked maliciously by a group of players and enter combat mode. You have half an hour to defend yourself.

System prompts kept ringing, and Ma Yingjie had no time to pay attention to them. He turned around and retreated into the mine.

Inside the mine, the chaotic footsteps shook the ground, which was as silent as a cemetery, and it began to shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, roars rose into the sky, and these sounds belonged to the abandoned skeletons.
