Chapter 409: The Battle is Dangerous, It’s Time to Retreat

Looking at the huge skeleton approaching from afar, Xiao Jie's heart suddenly sank.

For experienced gamers, the power of a spell can often be seen directly from the sound and light effects.

Xiao Jie felt the deadly and terrifying taste of this spell at first sight.

Although the skeleton's flying speed was extremely slow, it even made people feel powerless.

But Xiao Jie could feel that the more this was the case, the more difficult it would be to resist the power of this spell. If he was hit by one, he would definitely be dead or crippled.

Even if he transformed into a dragon and had a health point of nearly three thousand, it was still the same, not to mention ordinary players.

Although Xiao Jie wanted to defend the Soul-Suppressing Pass, it would be too much to ask him to risk his life.

After all, this is a game. Even if you defend it, you will only gain some benefits.

Although failure to defend it may lead to the destruction of Luoyang Plain and the loss of villages, as long as Luoyang City is there, it is not too bad. Moreover, by then, the Luoyang Plain will be full of undead, and it will be more convenient to kill monsters and level up, which is not completely without benefits.

So, of course we have to defend, but if it is too difficult or the cost is too high, giving up is acceptable.

The strength displayed by the Netherworld Ghost King was indeed a bit terrifying. At this moment, he suddenly had the idea of ​​retreating.

"Everyone, prepare to retreat!" Xiao Jie shouted, and prepared to avoid the huge skeleton that was coming towards him.

"We can't retreat!"

"Don't panic, warriors. With the two of us here, we can definitely block this attack!"

The two masters of Chunyang and Taiyin shouted in unison and cast a spell again at the terrifying skeleton that was coming towards them. Each of them took out a piece of yellow talisman paper, bit their middle finger, quickly drew a talisman on the talisman paper, and cast it out at the same time.

In an instant, two golden talismans appeared above everyone's heads and merged into one with the barrier.

Boom, boom, boom!
The huge skeleton finally crashed into the barrier. The outer layer of talismans shattered layer by layer, turning into light spots and dissipating in the air. The huge barrier twisted and deformed like a soap bubble. Fortunately, the two blood talismans cast by the two masters at the end worked.

He withstood the impact of the skeleton.

boom!
With a loud roar, the skeleton exploded. The golden talisman above the city wall flashed a few times, but it did not completely dissipate. The barrier was only visible and invisible after this attack, and it was obvious that there was not much power left.

The two masters spit out blood at the same time and fell to the ground listlessly. It was obvious that they were seriously injured from resisting the attack and both of them had the severe injury DEBUFF on their heads.

Fortunately, it was finally blocked. The Netherworld Ghost King seemed relaxed, but releasing this spell consumed the soul power of thousands of undead, which shows that it is not something that can be cast so casually.

Just as Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a loud bang coming from under the city wall. It turned out that the Ghost King of the Netherworld took advantage of the time when everyone on the city wall was resisting the giant skeleton and split the last resistance of the city gate with a sword.

The Netherworld Ghost King slowly put down the giant sword in his hand and shouted in a harsh voice: "The city gate has been breached - Undead ghosts, listen to my command, charge into the city, and leave no one alive!"

The undead souls near the city gate suddenly went crazy and swarmed towards the broken city gate.

Xiao Jie could see clearly from the city wall.

I thought to myself, this is bad! If the enemy breaks in from the main gate, the city wall will be defended in vain.

Once the zombie tide surges into the city and cuts off the roads within the city, the people on the city wall will become isolated and trapped in a desperate situation. As the vice president and the head of the second regiment, he naturally has the responsibility to lead everyone to evacuate safely and must not be trapped here.

At this time, you must not be stubborn.

"Quick, block the door with all your strength—An Ran!"

"Roger that!"

Anran leaped forward, and a green light appeared on his body.

Magic—the spider spirit transforms!

It completed the transformation in mid-air, and when it landed it had turned into an eight-clawed spider spirit.

Magic—the dragnet of heaven and earth!
Puff puff puff, An Ran fired at the city gate, and the spider webs in the sky blocked the city gate tightly. The zombie skeletons at the front were immediately stuck to the web, struggling and unable to move.

An Ran fired one shot after another, and whenever the durability of the spider web was about to run out, she would immediately fire another shot.

This web of heaven and earth is the spider spirit's native magic. It has a very fast cooling time and is very tough. As long as the web is sprayed continuously, these undead soldiers will not be able to rush in in a short period of time.

(But this is only a temporary solution. We must quickly get rid of the three ghost generals!)
Xiao Jie thought to himself, however, after observing the battlefield, he realized that this was impossible to do. These three ghost generals were all leader-level BOSSes, with more than 6,000 health points, a set of Nether Soul Iron Armor, extremely strong defense, and a ghostly aura that could reduce the attributes of surrounding creatures. As a result, physical melee professions could not exert much strength against them.

Moreover, these ghost generals from the underworld not only have ferocious fighting skills, but can also use underworld spells, so they are not very afraid even if they meet a wizard.

However, this is not the most fatal thing. The most fatal thing is the underworld soldiers and zombie skeletons that keep pouring up from the city walls. It is impossible not to clear out these small monsters. After all, they are monsters of more than 20 levels. Although their action mode is single, the damage is not low.

But if they were to be cleared, it would be even more difficult to concentrate firepower to eliminate these three ghost generals, resulting in the left and right ghost generals still maintaining more than 70% of their health.

The only one who was badly injured was the one in the middle, but he only lost his warhorse and his health was still more than 60%.

On the other hand, the players, after continuous hard battles, have used up many of their ultimate skills, and their internal strength, mana, and health are no longer very healthy.

The formation was in chaos.

From this point of view, the ghost general of the underworld who was killed at the moment before the battle was actually an accident, a bug that exploited the game mechanism. Under normal circumstances, it is really not easy to fight against these four ghost generals.

Now it seems that the only way to delay time to half an hour is to wait for the immortal's restriction to be activated.

Xiao Jie glanced at the task countdown in the upper left corner. There were still thirty-seven minutes left.

"Brother Feng, look below the city." Someone suddenly shouted.

Xiao Jie looked down at the city wall, only to see a tide of monsters rushing towards the city gate. "What are you looking at? Hey, I see it. Is that a monk?"

Then I saw a fat monk struggling forward among the tide of zombies and rushing straight towards the city gate.

The monk had a haggard face, dark blue skin, and a hideous wound on his chest that had pierced his heart directly. It was obvious that he was dead.

However, he was able to run and jump at this time, and even his body was still glowing with a faint Buddha light.

Master Shuo Bu De (servant of the Netherworld Ghost King): Level 38, HP: 1640.

Damn, this guy was resurrected?
Xiao Jie was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that this guy was going to rush to the door.

"Quick, five groups, six groups, go down and block the door."

The fifth and sixth regiments were the ones left over from the main regiments, and their levels were generally only in their early twenties - this was because they had leveled up several levels during the previous village raid, otherwise most of them would only be in their teens.

Not only are their levels low, but their numbers are also not full, with only about sixty people in total. But at this time, they are the only ones who still maintain a complete lineup, so we have to let them go.

Everyone jumped down from the city wall, ready to block the door. Fortunately, as time passed, some NPC soldiers gathered under the leadership of several officers, and finally a team of two hundred people was assembled.

There were three or four layers of defense inside the city gate.

Just as the formation was set up here, Master Shuo Bu De rushed to the front of the city gate from the other side.

Suddenly assumed a charging posture.

Fighting skills——Daluo handprint!
The monk slammed out with his palm, and a golden Buddha's palm more than two meters long flew out from his palm, knocking over the zombie skeletons hanging on the spider web like a rotten wood, and the spider web was also shattered.

This Buddha's light has the effect of restraining sorcery and ghost curses. This spider web is the product of sorcery and is the result of being restrained.

Xiao Jie was stunned. He didn't expect that Master Shuo Bu De could still use Buddhist skills after being resurrected.

With a series of Daluo hand seals, he blasted a path through the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Master Shuo Bu De, a tide of undead poured into the city.

kill!

At the order given by the captain guarding the gate, the NPC soldiers immediately rushed forward, and the swordsmen formed a sword formation and collided with the tide of zombies in front of the city gate.

The soldiers swung their swords and started slashing. After all, they were warriors who had been guarding Zhenhun Pass for many years, and their strength was much stronger than that of the ordinary provincial guards.

But there were too many monsters, pouring in endlessly. When one row of monsters fell, the second row immediately came up, and with the constant pushing, the guard formation was gradually dispersed.

Five or six groups of players immediately took advantage of the opportunity to push forward, but they could not hold on for more than a few minutes.

The average strength of the five or six groups of players was only around level 20. They could not withstand such a tough battle and their internal energy was exhausted in a few seconds.

Because there were too few soldiers, they didn't even have a chance to rotate and take medicine, and they collapsed in the blink of an eye.

Some people who saw the situation was not good ran back directly, and this running immediately formed a chain reaction, with people retreating continuously.

There's nothing I can do. I can't just not take medicine.

The two captains who led the team had no other choice but to order a retreat. "Retreat, retreat, retreat to the streets. Brother Feng, the city gates can no longer hold up. You guys should retreat as well."

When Xiao Jie turned around, he saw the undead rushing towards the city like a tide, and he sighed inwardly.

The situation is over.

He was also very decisive and immediately ordered: "Everyone, retreat!"

The captain rushed over and begged, "We can't retreat. The soldiers are still fighting. If the tower is lost, the soldiers will not be able to retreat."

Xiao Jie looked towards the city walls on both sides and saw that the soldiers were still fighting hard to block the monsters that were climbing up from the pagoda's corpse.

The two staircases leading down from the city wall are both near the city tower. If they retreat, they might really trap the defenders on the city wall.

But Xiao Jie couldn't care less.

"Let them jump off the wall."

"They don't know how to do Qinggong, and they will fall to their death."

"Fuck, let them die in the fall. I won't leave my men here to die. Retreat, retreat, retreat, all of you."
