Chapter 108 Taiyin Soul-Calming
Chapter 108 Taiyin Soul-Calming
I couldn't wait to choose one as I wanted to become an immortal.
The first item was a bell, obviously the one used by the corpse-driver.
[Taiyin Soul-Calming Bell (Magic Instrument/Epic)
Attributes: Spell power +10.
Use: Makes a soothing sound.
Effect 1: Exorcism. The ringing of the bell will cause a "fear" effect on zombie monsters within 30 steps, making them run away from you crazily.
Effect 2: Soul Shock. The ringing of the bell produces a "shocking" effect on ghost monsters within 30 steps, making them unable to perform any actions and revealing their bodies. In this state, physical damage can be caused to them for 10 seconds.
Magical weapon cooling time: 5 minutes.
Item Description: This magical instrument was made by the instrument maker of the Taiyin Dharma Assembly. It is said that it can emit sounds that living people cannot hear and can directly reach the netherworld. The corpse drivers use it to communicate with the dead, scare away the ghosts, and drive the zombie servants. 】
The second item is a skill book.
[Resurrect Zombie (Skill Book/Ghost Curse)
Use: Allows you to learn the Resurrection Zombie spell.
Learning requirements: Perception 30, introduction to ghost spells.
Skill introduction: Convert a corpse into a zombie to serve you. Units with a higher level than the caster cannot be converted. The converted zombie cannot use any skills, but will gain a 50% health bonus and a 100% unarmed attack bonus. The caster can only control one zombie at a time. 】
The third one——
[Dead Man's Black Clothes (Robe/Top Quality)
Personal defense +14.
Leg defense +8.
Spell resistance +8.
Equipment Effect: Affinity with the Dead. Wearing this equipment can reduce the hostility of ghosts and zombies towards you, so that they will not actively attack you.
Item Description: A black robe used by junior members of the Taiyin Dharma Assembly. The craftsman dyed the robe with the juice of black lotus, allowing the wearer to have close contact with the dead. 】
The fourth item is a red pill.
【Corpse King Blood Marrow Pill (Medicine)
Use: Permanently increases your maximum health by 15 points.
Item Description: This elixir is made by the corpse-driving sorcerer using the secret method of the corpse king's blood and marrow. It can increase the upper limit of the person who takes it. 】
The fifth item was an ancient scroll made of human skin.
【Corpse Talk (Thaumatology Scroll)
Use: Allows you to learn the Corpse Talk spell.
Learning requirements: Insight 18.
Item Description: A human skin scroll that records strange arts. It seems to be very old. It records a strange skill called corpse language, which allows you to communicate with dead bodies and ask them up to three questions. 】
I wanted to become an immortal, so I didn't hesitate and chose what I wanted - I could tell which one was the best by looking at the color. Among the five dropped items, there was only one purple-quality item, which was the Taiyin Soul-Calming Bell. Moreover, there was no requirement to use this thing, so it was just right for me.
I got purple equipment before the Novice Village was even released, and I can still use it. What a concept.
I wanted to become an immortal, so I chose this one decisively.
It was Xiao Jie's turn to choose the second item, but Xiao Jie had already thought about it. He chose [Corpse Talking (Magic Scroll)].
This thing should have a similar effect to the beast language technique. Even though it cannot directly improve combat effectiveness, it can increase the space for operation and increase the methods of obtaining information. For a game like this where one life counts, sometimes intelligence is much more useful than directly improving combat effectiveness.
"Huh!" Dongfang Sheng was obviously a little surprised when he saw him choose this one, and thought to himself, what's the use of this thing?
Ye Luo was not so surprised. She chose the skill book [Resurrect Zombies] without hesitation. She happened to have high perception points, so as long as she mastered the basics of ghost curse, she could start learning it.
For players in death mode, the more summoned creatures the better. Having a zombie minion as cannon fodder will undoubtedly make it much safer whether leveling up or fighting bosses.
Dongfang Sheng has few choices. He can only choose between the Dead Man's Black Clothes and the Corpse King's Blood Marrow Pill.
After hesitating for a moment, although the permanent improvement of attributes was very tempting, it had little significance in the short term, so he finally chose the Black Clothes of the Dead.
At least it’s a top-quality blue outfit… Dongfang Sheng comforted himself.
Finally, this Corpse King Blood Marrow Pill fell into my hands. This result seemed unexpected, but it was reasonable. Permanently improving attributes is absolutely amazing in other games. Equipment will be updated, but this permanent improvement will always exist. However, in this game where only one life is needed, this kind of thing that takes a long time to reflect its value is not so useful.
Compared with the insignificant improvements in the long term, the high improvements in the short term are more profitable.
"Okay everyone, now that the things have been distributed, let's hurry to the ancestral hall. The villagers are still waiting for us to rescue them."
There is another subtext that Xiao Jie didn't say - there is still a BOSS to be defeated.
After Xiao Jie finished speaking, he immediately ran towards the ancestral hall, and the three followed closely behind him.
When the four men arrived outside the ancestral hall, the villagers were already in danger. Several bodies of villagers were lying in front of the gate of the ancestral hall. All those who could fight were blocking the door, barely holding on due to the narrow terrain.
The ghost general was leading the zombies and rushing towards the door desperately, and was about to break it down.
Although those zombies were not controlled by anyone, their hatred for the living made them instinctively attack the villagers in the ancestral hall, and the ghost generals attacked and rushed forward fiercely, determined to slaughter all the villagers here.
Bang! The iron halberd hit Zhou Tong heavily. Zhou Tong groaned and was knocked back repeatedly. Tie Qianli immediately took his place and continued to resist.
Seeing four people coming from behind, Tie Qianli was overjoyed.
"Wind warriors, come quickly!"
"Let's go - Ring the Bell to Become an Immortal!"
“Got it!” I wanted to become an immortal so I directly activated the special effect of the Taiyin Soul-Calming Bell.
Ding! Following a cold and harsh ring, the zombies suddenly ran away in all directions as if they had seen a ghost.
The ghost general also suddenly covered his ears and became stiff in place.
This thing also belongs to the category of ghosts, but compared with ordinary ghosts without physical form, the ghost general is a physical monster, but it will also be affected by the soul-calming bell.
What a great opportunity! Everyone inside and outside the house saw the opportunity and rushed forward.
Tie Qianli led the few remaining militiamen and attacked the ghost general with spears and swords.
"Let's go too!" Xiao Jie accelerated suddenly, but Ye Luo was one step faster than him, walking in the dark - he was close in an instant, and went up with a set of Flowing Cloud Sword Dance, the sword blade continuously chopped on the armor, making a metallic collision sound.
Finally, there is a chance to attack safely at close range, and each one is faster than the last.
Xiao Jie also went up and cut the enemy in half with one sword followed by a spinning slash, and then used both swords to slash. Although he had no internal force, the damage he dealt was not low with two good swords.
Even Dongfang Sheng thrust forward with his spear.
"Wait for me!" I shouted anxiously as I watched everyone surrounding the BOSS and hacking at him.
He was the slowest runner in heavy armor, and he had to switch shields after ringing the bell. When he rushed forward swinging his giant axe, the ghost general actually moved.
The 10-second stun effect is only a theoretical time. After all, the ghost general is a BOSS, and his spell resilience is not comparable to that of ordinary monsters. It only took five or six seconds to recover.
"Die!"
Total Annihilation!
The iron halberd swept out, and with one move it repelled several militiamen and Tie Qianli in front of him.
Chop! He turned around and chopped down with an iron halberd, but several players had already retreated to avoid it.
The attack missed, and the ghost general sneered at the players, "Have you killed Lin Yutian? Humph, he is indeed a waste. Well, I won't let him get in the way. Let me kill all of you!"
Damn, so crazy?
Xiao Jie thought to himself, why are you so arrogant? You are just a lone boss and you don’t even have any subordinates.
There are so many of us, we’ll probably kill you if we pile up here.
"There's only this one monster left. Let's all attack together and kill him with all our might!"
While speaking, he quickly retreated, switched to the bow and arrow to prepare for long-range support.
