Chapter 407: Thousand Bones Linked
Xiao Jie observed the battlefield and quickly calculated the strength of both the attackers and the defenders.

The defenders of the city include about a thousand NPC soldiers of various types.

There are dozens of elite officers and more than ten elite Pure Yang mages and Tai Yin soul masters.

Finally, there are several soul-suppressing captains who serve as leaders, as well as two hermit masters from the Taiyin Assembly and the Chunyang Assembly, Miao Ruijin (Taiyin Zhenren) and Huang Zitao (Chunyang Tianshi).

On the other hand, the scale of the attack was much larger. Outside the city, there were endless zombies, skeletons, resurrected corpses, and wailing ghosts, which were simply countless.

There are also hundreds of underworld soldiers serving as the backbone, with powerful combat capabilities, and they are all high-level monsters of level 30 or even level 40.

The biggest threat is the four ghost generals, all of whom are leader-level BOSS-level and have powerful combat power.

It would be fine if one appeared alone, but if four appeared together and could cooperate with each other in battle, it would definitely be more dangerous.

Fortunately, the walls of Zhenhun Pass are high and thick, which limits the power of the BOSS. As long as the walls are not breached, we can still defeat it by relying on the terrain advantage.

No matter how many enemies there are, it is useless if they cannot climb up the city wall. At present, it seems that the biggest threat still comes from those hundreds of ghosts from the underworld. These are real armies and they must have the means to attack cities and capture strongholds. We must be careful to deal with them later.

The most urgent task is to defend the city.

Fortunately, there were only a dozen Buddhist corpses, which means there were only a dozen gaps. The soldiers on the city wall blocked most of the gaps, but there were still five or six that no one could resist.

At this time, Xiao Jie immediately assigned people to start filling the gaps.

The group of advanced players who were at the front were madly using all kinds of secret skills towards the monsters.

The unified Qi of Hunyuan can break mountains and rivers!

Bull Demon's Earth-Splitting Wave!
Phoenix is ​​destroyed!

Boom boom boom!
Explosions caused by the energy blasted one after another, instantly scattering the undead spirits that rushed to the top of the city.

This kind of head-on battle really requires the help of experts, and often a huge threat can be dealt with with just one secret.

The wizards in the back row also cast their spells.

Strawberry Coke summoned thunder and lightning, Bai Ze shot out sword shadows all over the sky, and Deidara summoned blazing flames and bombarded the top of the city.

The advanced melee fighters from the Department of Physics quickly blocked the gap. Those who were not at a high level and did not dare to rush to the front line to fight also frantically threw gunpowder pots and kerosene pots towards the gap built by the pagoda corpse.

Boom boom boom! Amid a series of explosions, this wave of attacks was beaten back.

"Quick, throw down the straw and wood bundles!"

The logistics team quickly rushed to the wall and threw flammable materials down frantically.

In the blink of an eye, the area around the pagoda corpses was filled with bundles of straw and firewood. As several gunpowder pots were thrown at them, a raging fire immediately broke out.

These pagoda corpses have extremely high health points, and we don’t know how much damage would be wasted if we were to kill them one by one.

It would be better to create some environmental damage and burn it slowly. It will burn to death sooner or later.

"Hahahaha, good boy, I knew I didn't misjudge you." The old captain said with a look of relief, while dispatching troops from inside the city to fill the top of the city wall.

The mages of the Pure Yang Assembly also began to activate the huge runes on the city walls, forming golden light curtains suspended in the air to resist the impact of ghosts and evil spirits in the sky.

For a time, the battle line was successfully stabilized.

Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was a good thing that he arrived on time. If it had been ten or eight minutes later, it would have been cold.

But below the city wall, the four ghost generals were not so happy.

"Didn't you say that those returning home had been delayed?" Judgment suddenly asked viciously to the dark figure behind him.

At this moment, the black shadow has completely transformed into the underworld.

After all, he didn't go find the girl to have one last pleasure. This time he opened the seal of the Ghost Gate, not just to gain power for himself.

In order to trigger the subsequent chain reaction, this kind of war cannot be missed.

Being questioned by the four ghost generals, the black shadow remained silent for a moment.

(Didn’t that crazy woman Wei Yang really screw herself over?)

Although it was difficult to hold back in the heart, the mouth reacted very quickly. If you want to play this game well, you must learn how to deal with NPCs, and you can't be careless with your mouth cannon.

“There are thousands and thousands of people returning home all over the world, how could there not be one?

Even though I delayed most of them, there will always be people who arrive at the right time. You know, there are usually many people returning home in Zhenhun Pass, and there are thousands of people returning home from Fengyinzhou. Now only a few people have come, which is already my credit. If I hadn't delayed them, I'm afraid thousands of people would have come by now."

"Don't you ghosts in the underworld boast of your strength? You can't be unable to deal with a few returnees, right?"

With just a few words, he cleared himself of all blame and asked the other party a question.

The four ghost generals were also stunned. It seemed... as if... it seemed that this was the case.

"Humph, he is just a returnee, so we naturally don't take him seriously."

"Yes, that's right." The shadow continued, "Generals, don't hesitate. The enemy doesn't have many troops, but they rely on the terrain of the city wall. As long as we break in, the enemy will definitely not be able to resist. Do you have any other means of attacking the city?"

Judgment (Ghost General of the Netherworld): "Of course, brothers, just use that trick—"

Jue Gu (Ghost General of the Underworld): "Okay, gather the troops and take down the city in one go!"

Lingmie (Ghost General of the Netherworld): "Soldiers and warriors from the Netherworld, assemble and follow me into battle!"

Evil Shadow (Ghost General): "After the city is broken, no one will be left alive!"

The army of the underworld quickly began to assemble. Except for a small number of underworld people who continued to drive and command the undead army to attack the city walls, the remaining more than 300 underworld corpse soldiers quickly formed a siege assault formation and prepared to attack.

At this moment, everyone on the top of the city wall also noticed the movement below.

"Oh no, the other side seems to be making another move."

"Old General, the situation is a bit bad." Xiao Jie said.

"It's really not good." The old captain had a solemn look on his face. The underworld army below had a strict formation and amazing momentum. They were not comparable to those skeleton zombies.

"You don't have any hidden tricks. Where is your general?"

“There is indeed a big move.”

(Hmm, is it true?) Xiao Jie thought to himself.

The old lieutenant explained, "This Soul-Calming Pass was built under the guidance of an immortal. Not only is the city wall high and thick, and it is protected by a magic array, but there is also a restriction left by the immortal in the city. Once it is activated, no matter how many demons and monsters there are inside and outside the city, they can be slaughtered completely."

So stupid?
"Then why not?"

"This restriction can only be used once and cannot be used until the critical moment."

Xiao Jie glanced at the army outside the city and said, "Isn't this the critical moment?"

"That may not be the case. The enemy may not be able to attack us from behind the high walls of our Soul-Suppressing Pass—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a shrill sound from below.

The four ghost generals each pointed their weapons at the top of the city.

The spell of the underworld—the art of connecting a thousand bones!
Under the control of the four ghost generals, countless skeletons gathered and combined frantically. Those killed skeleton zombies and those collapsed pagoda corpses have now all become building materials.

They quickly gathered towards the bottom of the city wall and automatically assembled and built, stacked together like countless Lego blocks, forming a huge bridge of bones that extended from under the city wall to the top of the city.

This is much wider and flatter than the steep slope formed by the previous pagoda corpses. It can almost reach the top of the city wall directly, and it is very wide even to accommodate charging war horses.

This immediately stunned everyone on the city wall.

There is such a magic? This is a joke. The old lieutenant looked incredulous, "Little brother, it seems you are right. Now is the critical moment!"

Suddenly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he said, "Little brother, I know that you Longxiang people are all warriors. Please help me resist for half an hour. When I activate the ban, they will not be able to return. Okay?"

Xiao Jie thought, half an hour? That's an hour.

It's not that it's impossible to defend, the problem is that the risk is too great.

But there are not many benefits. After all, they are players. Saving the world is just a gimmick. The key is to make money.

Even if it is to defend Fengyinzhou, there is no reason to let so many people fight here.

"Old Captain, this Soul-Calming Pass is your responsibility, but you want us, the returnees, to guard it. Isn't that asking too much?"

The old captain said in a deep voice: "As long as you can hold out for half an hour, when the war is over, I will join Longxiang Nation through Zhenhun Pass."

System prompt: Trigger the territory mission [Guarding the Soul-Resting Pass]. Captain Wang asks you to lead people to guard the Soul-Resting Pass until the immortal restriction is activated.

Mission objective: Hold the Soul-Resisting Pass for 60 minutes.

Mission reward: Soul-Calming Pass (Right of Domination).

Note: This task is a national task. To complete the task and obtain the reward, you must complete it as a national player. 】

Huh? It turned out to be a national mission, but what kind of identity does this old man have to be able to issue such a mission?

In theory, only the city lord has this authority.

But even though there is this level of land as a reward, it is still not enough. What good can we get from taking over this damn place?
It's just another place to level up, and there's not much tax to collect.

"Old Captain, this is a bit unreasonable. Although I want to kill the enemy, I really don't want to risk my brother's life."

The old lieutenant immediately said: "This immortal restriction requires a top-level magic weapon to activate. After it is completed, this magic weapon will also belong to you."

"Old Captain, please leave immediately. We have no choice but to protect the country and the people. Even if we have to fight to the last man, we must protect the people of Fengyinzhou from this disaster."

Watching the old captain hurriedly walk down the city wall and head straight for the tallest building in Zhenhun Pass.

Xiao Jie immediately took over command.

"All soldiers, listen up, each of you defend your own camp, do not move. The main force of the elite troops, come to my side to defend, do not let the enemy rush into the city!"

Although we need to defend the city, the first wave of damage still has to be borne by the NPCs.

Forty or fifty Fengyin Iron Guards formed a defense line to block the end of the Bridge of Bones. Xiao Jie ordered his players to disperse quickly and set up a pocket formation around the top of the city. Fortunately, the walls of the Zhenhun Pass were high and thick, and the terrain was wide, which was enough to mobilize troops and arrange the formation.

More than one hundred main forces were concentrated at this location, and the remaining one hundred were divided into several groups to support other fronts.

Just as the battle formation was roughly arranged here, the four ghost generals on the city wall had already launched a charge with their underworld ghosts.

Thunder and sky are coming - hurry up and obey the order!

The magic of the five elements - the flaming orb!
Sword-wielding technique—Ten Thousand Swords Technique!

Lightning, flames, and sword shadows all bombarded the four ghost generals together. The ranged professions even used bows, crossbows, and hidden weapons to attack them all at once.

But this was not enough to stop the momentum of the four ghost generals' charge, and they reached the city wall in the blink of an eye.

"Fuck me!"

The leading general was named Evil Shadow. He was surrounded by a dark wind that instantly spread throughout the entire arena.

Ghost curse of the underworld—the cold wind corrodes the bones!
Those Wind-chanting Iron Guards were swept by the cold wind, and their legs began to tremble, leaving them completely without any strength.

Juegu and Duanzui will follow closely behind.

One wields the Soul-Killing Iron Halberd.

Fighting skill——Rakshasa Soul-Severing Slash!

The iron halberd swept across, and the halberd wind carried the phantom of the Ghost-faced Rakshasa, attacking head-on. The shields were shattered, and several Fengyin Iron Guards were swept away with one blow.

One of them thrust out the Dark Iron Wolf Fang Spear, and in an instant the sky was filled with spear shadows. Every spear was accompanied by a shrill ghost howl.

Combat skill——Thousand Souls Sorrow!

This move actually had a fear effect. The Fengyin Iron Guards who were facing the gun shadow had a fear icon in the shape of a ghost face appearing above their heads, and they fled in all directions.

But they could not outrun the war horses. They were shot in the back and fell down one after another.

In just a moment, the defense line formed by dozens of Fengyin Iron Guards was torn to pieces.

The last general, named Lingmie, swung the dark-blade bone-breaking axe in his hand at the dozens of corpses.

Netherworld Curse - Resurrection of Corpses.

Those Wind-Singing Iron Guards who had just died twisted their limbs in an instant and crawled up from the ground again. Their broken bodies began to move again, but the eyes of the living people turned into a green glow.

Damn, that's a lot of damage!

Xiao Jie looked at the sky full of red words and was secretly shocked. Not only was the damage high, but it also came with various negative states and spell-like effects. Even a top-level physical profession would have a hard time resisting it if you were afraid of death.

Fortunately, this first wave of damage was absorbed by the NPC.

Now, it's time to fight back.

"Two masters, let's do it!"

There are NPCs on the city walls, so the pressure of this kind of battle naturally cannot be borne entirely by the players.

The Pure Yang Heavenly Master swung his sword.

The Heavenly Master’s decree: Gods and demons retreat!
The dozens of resurrected zombies had just posed and were dispersed instantly before they could attack.

True Man Taiyin also waved his whisk.

Ghost curse—haunted by hundreds of ghosts!
With a flick of the whisk, dozens of evil ghosts appeared out of thin air, circled around, and swooped down towards the four ghost generals, but they could not get close to them at all, as if they had encountered something terrible and fled in the blink of an eye.

The True Man Taiyin seemed slightly embarrassed, but the Heavenly Master Chunyang looked proud.

He couldn't laugh anymore the next second. The Netherworld Ghost General who was in the front sneered and rushed towards Chunyang Tianshi, obviously realizing that this person was the biggest enemy of the day.

When Xiao Jie saw it, he was immediately delighted.

"Everyone get ready - the ultimate killing tactic!"

He flashed in front of Chunyang Tianshi without a trace, just at the moment when the Netherworld Ghost General was about to chop him down with an iron halberd.

Secret - disillusionment!
"Do it!"

This move had been used once before when fighting Li Gun, and this time it was like practice makes perfect.

The main force of more than one hundred people had been ready. The moment Xiao Jie launched his ultimate move, everyone rushed frantically towards the immobilized Netherworld Ghost General.

In an instant, all kinds of sword energy, qi fluctuations, thunder and fireballs all blasted into the time-stop field. Qi spells of various colors all overlapped together, forming a large colorful halo.

Those who did not know the secrets of magic frantically fired bows and arrows and hidden weapons into the time-stopping area.

At the moment when Xiao Jie used his secret skill, he leaped into the air with a light skill.

No matter what, let’s kill the BOSS in seconds first.
