Chapter 411 The last moment

The art of walking on a dragon—the big whirlpool!

Seeing that the vortex was slowing down, Xiao Jie immediately fired another shot at the water in the center of the square.

Looking at the groups of zombie skeletons being strangled in the whirlpool and struck to death by lightning, Xiao Jie felt quite satisfied.

There are still a few minutes left, so kill as many as you can.

Such a good opportunity to level up, you will never see it again if you miss it.

At this time, the entire Zhenhun Pass had turned into a swamp, and everywhere were groups of corpses being dragged forward by the current.

The streets were like ditches, dragging groups of monsters into the big whirlpool in the square.

Lightning struck one after another and thunder roared.

Players stood on the roofs on both sides of the street, taking medicine to recover while fighting monsters climbing up the buildings, enjoying the pleasure of rapid leveling up.

"Haha, it's so cool!"

"Brother Feng is mighty, Brother Feng is domineering!"

"The defense of the city is now stable."

Everyone was full of confidence at this moment.

Xiao Jie himself was not so confident, because he discovered one thing: from beginning to end, the Ghost King did not participate in the battle.

I just released a few sword energies and blasted open the city gate.

If this level 54 big BOSS joins the battle, I'm afraid we will be in a tough battle right away.

Although he didn't know why the Netherworld Ghost King hadn't joined the battle, Xiao Jie still reminded everyone: "Don't underestimate the enemy. Stay alert. The ghost general is not dead yet, and there is a big boss to fight behind."

"Brother Jie, I don't think that big boss will attack us." Gu Feiyu behind him suddenly spoke.

"Oh, how come you see it?"

Xiao Jie still thinks highly of Gu Feiyu. When he worked under him in the past, he often had some amazing ideas, and when he was conquering dungeons, he could often come up with some good tactical suggestions.

Gu Feiyu said uncertainly: "I don't know much about this game, but after watching it for a while, I feel that the NPCs in this game are just like real people, and they are all intelligent.

Since the old lieutenant said that there were restrictions left by immortals in this city, did the boss know this? If he knew, it would make sense that he was afraid and didn't dare to enter the city. I think he might be using those ghosts to lure out the restrictions left by the immortals, and then he would take action.

Of course, there is a second possibility. According to the general game logic, bosses will attack one by one, so the three ghost generals should be killed first before the ghost king will take action. "

Xiao Jie nodded secretly in his heart. Gu Feiyu's analysis did make some sense.

Most likely the former.

Yes, according to some information he had learned about the background of the game in the past, this Netherworld Ghost King had come to the human world thousands of years ago, and came in a group. Later, he was beaten up by the immortal Dingdang Siwu, some died and some were sealed.

This ghost king of the underworld might have fought with immortals in the past.

Naturally, I would feel apprehensive.

It seems that at least there is no need to worry about him taking action before the immortal restriction is activated. As for after the restriction is activated... the letter for help from Zhenhun Pass has been sent out, and Xiao Jie met the messenger on the way here. In order to ensure that everything is safe, he also specially arranged a few people to escort the messenger to prevent him from being killed by wild monsters on the way.

The messenger rode a fast horse, and it took him an hour to reach Xuanxu Palace...

While he was thinking, there was a crackling sound suddenly coming from below. Xiao Jie looked down and saw that the water surface had actually begun to freeze. A cold force was spreading rapidly from outside the city towards this side, freezing the water wherever it passed.

Oh no, it looks like some kind of powerful netherworld spell!

The art of walking on a dragon—the big whirlpool!

Xiao Jie used his magic again, and the ice surface that had begun to freeze shattered again under the influence of the whirlpool. Countless ice floes collided in the water flow and shattered into ice cubes.

But soon, another wave of cold and gloomy air came.

Xiao Jie looked towards the direction of the city gate and saw the three Netherworld ghost generals galloping towards them from afar. The aura of the Netherworld emanated from their bodies. Wherever the Netherworld war horses passed, the water surface instantly froze into ice. The three war horses were like walking on ice, full of murderous intent.

Behind the three Netherworld Ghost Generals, there were hundreds of Styx Knights, forming a formation and charging forward.

Their target was the dragon that Xiao Jie transformed into.

Obviously these bosses can also tell who was responsible for this flood.

Xiao Jie hurriedly ordered, "Everyone, concentrate your firepower and bombard the ice surface!"

The players on the buildings on both sides immediately began throwing gunpowder pots and kerosene pots at the Styx Knights below.

Boom boom boom!
In a series of explosions, the Styx Knights were blown to the ground, but this powerful cavalry did not stop advancing.

The Styx Knight is a level 40 monster with 900 HP. Even though it is just a small monster, its combat power is quite strong, and it is difficult to kill it with the player's gunpowder pot.

What’s even more terrible is that there are also shrill ghost howling sounds coming from the sky.

When Xiao Jie looked up, he saw ghosts and evil spirits all over the sky, led by a ghost BOSS, rushing towards everyone.

However, the city defense formation finally used up its last bit of power after losing the maintenance of the mages, and all the runes above the city walls disappeared. All of a sudden, the ghosts and evil spirits outside the city could fly into the Soul-Suppressing Pass without restriction.

At this time, they swarmed in under the command of the evil ghost leader.

This is not good. With so many ghosts, even if some players have the ability to kill ghosts, they can’t kill them all.

Not to mention that he had to face the hordes of ghost generals and Styx knights rushing towards him.

But a loud shout was heard not far away, "Don't worry, warrior. We two old guys can still make some use of our remaining energy. Old Huang, stop standing there and move quickly."

The two masters struggled to get up with the help of several mages under their command, stood on the roof and began to chant and cast spells.

The Chunyang Heavenly Master picked up a stack of talismans in his hand and muttered something. Every time he recited a word, he threw a talisman into the air. The talisman revolved around his body like a living thing.

"The talisman summons the eight wastelands, the realm is bounded by the mysterious power, the stars are arranged in the sky, the energy penetrates the yin and yang, the eight gates are locked with gold, and all evil cannot approach - command!"

Fifth-level Taoist magic—Eight-Gate Golden Lock Curse!

As he pointed his finger at the sky, eight talismans flew into the sky at the same time and transformed into eight huge golden runes that floated in the air, protecting an area of ​​a hundred steps in radius.

Those ghosts and evil spirits crashed into the barrier and instantly turned into ashes. The evil spirits behind them saw this and scattered one by one, but they still hovered around, trying to find a gap in the temporary barrier.

After circling around for a while, they finally found it. The eight talismans were arranged in a circle, providing tight coverage in all directions except the sky above their heads.

Evil ghosts and spirits floated high into the sky, ready to swoop down and attack from the sky.

When Taiyin Zhenren saw this, he hurriedly began to chant spells and cast magic, waving his whisk as he chanted.

"Myriad ghosts, listen to my command. No one dares to disobey the Taiyin law. There will be no mercy in the world of the living. Your souls will return to the netherworld. Command!"

The fifth-level Taoist magic—Nine Netherworld Rebirth Technique!

Suddenly, a ball of Yin energy appeared in the sky above the barrier. The Yin energy swirled and spread, quickly forming a huge Yin energy vortex. The vortex was upside down on the barrier and kept spinning. The top of the vortex was extremely deep, as if leading to an unknown world. The ghosts and evil spirits were flying upwards and were hit head on. They were sucked into the huge vortex and disappeared.

here you go!
Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. These two NPC masters were still very powerful.

Then the most important thing next is to deal with the remaining three ghost generals of the underworld.

At this time, the water surface below was completely frozen, and three Netherworld Ghost Generals, along with a hundred or eighty Styx Knights, had already arrived close to the building where Xiao Jie was. Xiao Jie no longer hesitated.

The art of walking on a dragon—the waves reach the sky!

Boom boom boom! Several water columns shot up into the sky, and the Nether Ghost smashed all the ice in front of it.

At this moment, dozens of riders in the front fell into the water.

The player attacked the Styx Knights in Hedgehog City again, knocking down more than ten of them.

Before Xiao Jie had time to be happy.

boom!
A loud noise in the distance made Xiao Jie turn his head. Seeing the scene at the city gate, he immediately thought it was not good. Those Netherworld Soul Gathering Masters had already entered the city and successfully summoned two Pagoda Corpses in the city. At this time, they were demolishing the buildings in the city with a devastating force. The durability of these buildings was originally very high, and they could hold out for a while even against the Pagoda Corpses, but Xiao Jie's whirlpool was AOE damage, and there was no distinction between them. The buildings would also suffer damage.

As a result, many buildings were left with less than one-third of their health remaining, and were easily destroyed one by one under the attacks of the pagoda corpses.

The players on the buildings kept throwing gunpowder pots, but it was difficult to stop the forward momentum of the Buddha corpses. They could only keep retreating using light skills.

What's even more terrible is that the time for Xiao Jie to transform into a dragon has finally come. The golden scales fade away and his body turns back into that of a human again.

Without the attack of the Dragon Walking Technique, the three ghost generals surfaced again and froze the water surface.

The remaining zombie skeletons in the water, without being dragged by the whirlpool, began to surface from a distance and continued their attack.

Looking at the monsters that appeared again from all directions, Xiao Jie thought that they could never be killed.

This is really a case of adding insult to injury.

"Retreat, retreat to the City Lord's Mansion!"

As Xiao Jie spoke, he used his Qinggong skills to lead everyone to retreat towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Fortunately, the nearby buildings are still intact. As long as you use your light skills to move long distances on the roof, you will not be attacked by the monsters below.

The two masters also cast their spells and followed the action.

More than 200 people kept moving and crossed the square area in the blink of an eye.

The three ghost generals followed closely behind, charging back and forth on the water as if they were walking on flat ground, and sometimes even flying directly over the roofs of the buildings. Originally, the buildings in the city were very tall, but because the power of this dragon-walking technique was too strong and the water level rose too high, only the roofs of many buildings were left above the water.

Seeing that the ghost general was leading the Styx Knights to catch up with the player's team, Xiao Jie hurriedly ordered an interception.

An Ran uses the dragnet!

The streets were blocked by dense spider webs.

By the time the three ghost generals broke through the spider web, Xiao Jie had already led everyone to retreat to the City Lord's Mansion.

Everyone used light Kung Fu to fly over the wall and landed in the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion was an independent fortress system, a bit like an inner city within a pass. Although small, it had all the necessary facilities. It was surrounded by square and towering walls and there was a tall tower inside. At this moment, the remaining soldiers led by the two captains gathered here.

There are also many brave individual players who gather here, ready to fish in troubled waters.

As soon as they saw Xiao Jie and his men climbing over the wall, the two captains came over and asked, "Hero, has the hero 'unparalleled chivalry' returned?"

Xiao Jie then remembered that he didn't know whether Brother Xia was cheated or not.

"Xia Yi Wushuang, are you dead?" He shouted to YY.

"Hahaha, don't worry, I'm not that easy to die. I'm just trapped in the inn and can't join you for the time being."

Xiao Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that at least he was not dead, this guy is really lucky. Could he have really unlocked the Demon-Slaying Sword?
"My brother is fine, you two can just rest assured and fight the enemy."

The two captains nodded and said, "That's great. When the battle is over, we must thank that brave man. It is thanks to him that we brothers can retreat."

As he said this, he took his soldiers to the city wall for defense.

Xiao Jie took a look at the defenses of the City Lord's Mansion and felt that it could still hold out.

"There are still fifteen minutes left. Everyone, go up to the city wall and hold on tight. I'll go find the old captain to ask about the situation."

He still doesn't know what the immortal restriction that the old captain mentioned is, so don't be fooled.

As soon as Xiao Jie entered the tower, he saw a huge jade plate placed in the hall. Eight Taoists surrounded it, constantly activating the runes on the jade plate.

There were a total of 128 runes engraved on the jade plate, most of which had been lit up at this time.

It seems that as long as all the runes are lit up, the ban will be activated.

Hanging above the jade plate was an ancient bronze mirror.

The back of the ancient mirror has intricate patterns, including the Yin and Yang Eight Diagrams, and constellations, while the front is a dark mirror like the surface of water. As the runes are gradually lit up, the patterns on the ancient bronze mirror also cast a dazzling light, which is projected into the sky and almost shines through the top of the tower.

"This is the Yin-Yang Soul-Calming Mirror, the treasure of our Soul-Calming Pass. It is a magic weapon left behind by the immortals when they subdued demons and expelled evil spirits. As long as the immortal's ban is activated, this magic weapon can release all of the immortal's magic power, and then all the undead spirits in the city will be wiped out." The old lieutenant on the side explained, looking quite nervous.

"How long will it take?"

"It will take another quarter of an hour."

Boom, boom, the sound of a gunpowder kettle exploding was suddenly heard outside. Xiao Jie knew that the monster must be about to attack again.

"Okay, just a quarter of an hour, old general, don't worry. If I say I can defend it, I will definitely help you do it. But after the fact, you must not break your promise." Xiao Jie said and turned to walk out.

A Feiyun Zhuiyue landed on the city wall and looked outside. He gasped. The enemy's speed was faster than he had imagined. At this time, the tide had receded for the most part. The black mass of corpses was rushing towards the city wall, and the two pagoda corpses were also approaching.

The three ghost generals stood side by side at the foot of the city, and were on full alert with the Styx Knights, waiting for the pagoda corpses to break through the city wall and rush in.

The inner city is very small, and once it is broken, there will be no room for escape.

"Everyone, hold on for the last ten minutes. If you have any control skills or large-scale AOE skills, use them for me."

After Xiao Jie finished speaking, he took the lead in casting a spell.

Magic - calling the wind!

Strawberry Coke also wields a sword and casts spells.

The strong wind is coming - hurry up and obey the order!

Daju also roared and used the wind calling technique.

When the two masters Chun Yang and Tai Yin saw this, they immediately started using the wind calling technique. Although they mainly focused on exorcising evil spirits and controlling ghosts, the wind calling technique was a basic Taoist spell and they also had some knowledge of it.

The most practical point of this wind-calling technique is that it can be stacked on top of each other. At this time, five or six people cast the spell together, and suddenly a strong wind blows.

The two pagoda corpses bore the brunt of the attack and became the main targets of the wind-calling technique. These two creatures were slow in movement and their extremely tall bodies made them the best windward sides, making it difficult for them to move under the howling gale.

"That's it. Don't let the Buddha corpse get close to the city wall!"

When the three ghost generals saw this, they immediately became anxious.

Lingmie (Ghost General of the Netherworld): "Damn it, we must let the Buddha corpses get closer before we can capture the inner city!"

Jue Gu (Ghost General of the Netherworld): "Master, why don't you take action yet?"

Judgment (Ghost General of the Netherworld): "Why, are you questioning the master's will?"
