Chapter 412 Prepare to run away
Chapter 412 Prepare to run away
At this moment, outside Zhenhun Pass, there were also people who were curious about this question.
"My king, the city has been breached. Why don't you march quickly and wipe out the defenders in one fell swoop?"
Yongjie Wujian stood behind the Ghost King of the Netherworld and asked curiously.
The Netherworld Ghost King suddenly turned his head and looked at him. In the darkness under the helmet, a pair of eyes made of Netherworld ghost fire made Yongjie Wujian's heart skip a beat. Although he could not see the Netherworld Ghost King's expression, at that moment, he clearly felt a hint of murderous intent.
Yongjie Wujian hurriedly used the action - bowing, and saw the Ghost King of the Underworld turned his head away. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and decisively did not dare to ask any more questions.
The Ghost King of the Netherworld looked towards the city, but remained motionless, as if waiting for something. Behind him was an army of undead ready for battle.
------
boom! Boom boom!
Amid the sound of explosions, the Buddha corpse finally approached the city wall. Its huge body was within reach, and its densely packed arms were frantically clinging to the city wall.
With a loud bang, it leaned against the city wall. Countless arms grasped the wall tightly. The pagoda corpse tilted to form a steep slope, creating an entrance for the subsequent attacking troops.
The huge group of zombies under the city wall immediately launched an attack.
Zombies covered in blue and black, withered corpse soldiers, and resurrected warriors with only skeletons left, still wearing rusty armor from the imperial era.
Even many soldiers guarding Zhenhun Pass were resurrected and became part of the undead.
It surged along the back of the Buddha's corpse.
"Heavy-armored melee fighters, go and block the entrance! The others will provide ranged support."
A group of heavily armored generals, iron guards, and strongmen rushed forward immediately. This kind of blocking job requires strong enough defense. Ordinary swordsmen and swordsmen have no room to move in such a close-range melee, and their survivability is worrying.
Especially in this kind of large-scale melee, if the squishy enemies get in close combat, they're courting death.
A dozen heavily-armored players lined up in a row, swinging their spears, halberds, axes and swords wildly.
The corpses were swept to the ground one by one and could not stand on the top of the city wall at all.
Xiao Jie stood on a tower in a corner of the City Lord's Mansion, observing the battlefield.
After observing for a moment, I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there should be no problem.
He looked towards the city again.
Below the city wall, the three ghost generals had already launched a charge towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The gate of the City Lord's Mansion is not a city gate. It has a durability of only 2000 points and can be easily broken by a full-strength attack.
Fortunately, several craftsman players had already been waiting behind the door. As soon as they saw the door was attacked, they immediately used their repair skills frantically on the door.
The repair skill requires the consumption of wood, and the logistics team has sufficient wood preparation, so there is nothing to worry about.
Although the three ghosts had extremely high damage and their speed of breaking down the door was obviously faster than its speed of repairing it, they still couldn't break the door open in a short time.
However, just in case, Xiao Jie still asked Strawberry Coke to fire a few thunders at the bottom of the city gate to slow down the ghost general's speed of breaking down the door.
Immediately afterwards, some Shura assassins with three eyes jumped directly onto the city wall.
Fortunately, there were not many of these monsters and they were immediately surrounded and beaten by the players.
Then, the second Buddha corpse also approached.
Xiao Jie kept giving orders and observing the situation on the battlefield attentively to ensure that every loophole could be plugged.
The players in the second group are more united than ever before. After these days of running-in, they have already reached the level of being able to use their own arms and fingers.
And because of the game's extremely high death penalty, players' discipline is also guaranteed. No one dares to be careless at this time and fight with all their might.
Shouts, roars, the clashing of weapons, and the crash of undead being chopped down came one after another.
Time passed minute by minute.
On the city wall, both players and NPCs were fighting with all their might.
Casualties were naturally inevitable, but fortunately the city walls protected them from large-scale losses.
Boom!
After you smashed and I repaired it for more than ten minutes, the gate was finally destroyed, but at the same time, time came to the last second.
Before the three ghosts could rush into the inner city,
From the high tower of the City Lord’s Mansion, a beam of white light shot up into the sky.
Outside the Soul-Suppressing Pass, the Ghost King of the Netherworld snorted coldly when he saw the white light. As expected, those damned immortals had made a backup plan here.
He had long guessed that there was most likely an immortal restriction inside the Soul-Suppressing Pass, so he never entered the pass in person from beginning to end. However, once the restriction was activated, no one could restrain him anymore.
In order to detect this trap and ambush, it is worth it for only four ghost generals.
The three ghost generals who had been abandoned at this time were completely unaware of this and looked at the white light rising into the sky in shock.
The white light rushed into the sky, projecting a huge formation pattern in the clouds.
A huge battle formation hung high in the sky, and the runes around the battle formation were spinning and getting brighter. In an instant, hundreds of white lights continued to fall into the battle formation.
Brush brush!
It was like a rail gun firing one after another.
Xiao Jie was excited and nervous when he saw it, thinking, this thing wouldn't be harmful to the players, right?
Fortunately, this white light seems to only harm the undead. When it falls on the player, it can actually clear the ghost curse DEBUFF on the player.
Every time a ray of white light fell, several zombie skeletons would be burned into ashes with smoke all over their bodies. The white light first fell on the inner city, and then began to spread around in a circular shape, like a cannon fire washing the ground without any loopholes.
Wherever the white light passed, zombies, skeletons, ghosts and evil spirits all turned to ashes.
"Oh no, it's the magic of the immortal!"
"Get out!"
The three ghost generals turned their horses and tried to leave, but it was too late as they were instantly illuminated by a white light.
-
289!
-
321!
-
333!
Three red numbers appeared instantly, and thanks to the protective spell on his body, he did not suffer much damage.
However, the magic circle in the sky seemed to have a spirit. While it continued to spread toward the outside of the city, it also focused white beams of light towards the three ghost generals.
Brush brush!
The three ghost generals were illuminated until their bodies were covered in smoke.
"Let's go separately!"
In an instant, the soldiers split into three groups and fled separately, but the white light shone down two more times, obviously it would not stop until the three people were killed.
The three ghost generals were hit by the rays of light for more than ten times in succession. The damage became higher and higher, and the ghost soul armor on their bodies were all set on fire.
The white light extended all the way to the city wall of Zhenhun Pass before it stopped. As the formation in the sky dissipated, the rustling sound finally stopped.
When the white light finally died down, outside the inner city wall, inside the outer city wall, the entire Zhenhun Pass was in ruins, with burning corpses and ashes everywhere.
Even the huge pagoda corpse was transformed into a pile of charred bones attached to the city wall under the dense white light.
Only the three ghost generals were still staggeringly standing.
However, their bodies were covered with burns and their health was already drained. It was only because they fled in different places that the firepower was dispersed to some extent, so they were not directly killed.
Xiao Jie did not hesitate and gave the order: "Kill!"
"Kill!" Everyone roared in unison. In an instant, hundreds of people jumped down from the city wall, and the sky was full of falling players.
Rushed straight towards the three ghost generals.
Secret——The Azure Dragon is coming!
Secret——Sweeping away everything in its path!
Secret - a white rainbow piercing the sun!
All kinds of hidden tricks were unleashed at once. This kind of opportunity to show off one's ability when one is down is not something you can often come across.
Everyone is vying to be the first and trying their best.
In an instant, the three ghost generals were chopped to death. "Haha, we won!"
"We won!" As the three ghost generals were killed, cheers suddenly rang out in the hall.
Outside the Zhenhun Pass, Yongjie Wujian stared at the city wall in front of him in amazement - what just happened?
The dazzling white light washing over the ground was really a bit scary.
He saw with his own eyes that all the undead in Chengtou Mountain were destroyed, and thought to himself that it was a good thing that he did not go in, otherwise he would have suffered a great loss as well. After all, he was now also a member of the underworld.
"Let's go up and take a look." The Ghost King of the Underworld suddenly said.
Eternal Tribulation responded and flew up to the city wall with light skills, and saw that there was not a single undead left inside the city wall, all of them were killed.
Only charred remains and dry bones were left on the ground, not a miserable sight at all.
However, the situation at Zhenhun Pass was equally miserable. Most of the buildings in the city were destroyed, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties. There were almost no survivors in sight, and only a few survivors were left in the inner city.
He saw a man coming out of the inn from afar, looking at him from a distance, and then flying towards the inner city.
Yongjie Wujian jumped off the top of the city wall and quickly reported the situation in the city.
The Netherworld Ghost King nodded without any surprise, "Humph, just as expected, now that the immortal's restrictions have been used up, there will be no more threats in the short term. Very good, it's time to attack!"
There are still quite a few undead armies outside the city, and the underworld army brought by the Ghost King of the Underworld is equally numerous.
Following an order from the Ghost King of the Netherworld, a mighty force marched towards the city.
Yongjie Wujian hesitated for a moment and followed in.
As people in the inner city were cheering, Xiao Jie saw Xia Yi Wushuang coming from the air.
"Captain, the situation is not good. A large number of undead are rushing into the city again." Xia Yi Wushuang reminded as soon as he landed.
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it really wasn't that simple.
"Chengxian, quickly wipe out the ghost general's body, and everyone prepare to retreat."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.
Qianlong Wuyong was surprised and said, "Captain, you're not going to fight anymore? It's come to this point..."
Xiao Jie shook his head and said, "We can't fight. We are out of ammunition and food now. We have almost used up all our trump cards. We have also used up all our gunpowder and kerosene pots.
If the opposite Netherworld Ghost King attacks us personally next, we will have no choice but to run away, because he is a level 54 boss.
However, it's not like there is no chance of winning, but we have to prepare for the worst. Everyone should be ready to run away first."
Xiao Jie said this and rushed directly into the City Lord's Mansion.
The jade plate had now turned completely dark and had no luster at all, and it was obviously no longer usable.
The ancient bronze mirror also fell down.
Xiao Jie clicked with the mouse, but found that he couldn't pick it up.
"Old General, where is the magic weapon?"
The old captain was looking relieved, but when he heard Xiao Jie's question, he hurriedly said, "Why are you in such a hurry? The battle isn't over yet." Then he picked up the ancient bronze mirror.
Xiao Jie said: "Damn, we said before that as long as I can hold on for half an hour, you will give me this magic weapon. Hurry up, give me the magic weapon so that I can continue to resist the ghost king. If we don't have the magic weapon, how can we brothers with our flesh and blood bodies be the opponents of the ghost king?
If you really don’t give it to us, then we will withdraw first.”
The old captain suddenly became anxious and gritted his teeth.
"Well, I'll give it to you. I hope you won't be timid, little brother."
As he said this, he solemnly handed over the ancient bronze mirror with both hands.
【System prompt: Obtained the mission reward [Yin Yang Soul-Calming Mirror].
Nice!
Xiao Jie felt relieved. He thought that today's attack was not a loss. Even if he couldn't defend the Soul-Suppressing Pass, at least the trip was not in vain.
"Old General, I will take my men out of the camp right now, you can do whatever you want."
Having said that, he walked straight out of the City Lord’s Mansion.
It is strange that there is no city lord in the city lord's mansion. Although this old captain is only a captain, he seems to be in charge of the affairs of defending the city.
But he didn't have time to think about these things at the moment.
Except for the City Lord's Mansion, he went directly to the inner city wall and joined other players.
The gates of the inner city are broken, and it would be dangerous to be trapped inside. The players simply lined up in the square outside the city, ready to run away at any time.
"Captain, shall we retreat?"
"Don't retreat yet. Take your people and move back. Be ready to run away at any time."
Xiao Jie stayed behind alone. He was betting that it was impossible for them to really fight the Ghost King in this plot event?
Generally speaking, if a game gives players a countdown for defense, it should mean that once the defense is successful, the next plot step will be triggered.
Although this game cannot be measured by common sense, his gaming experience over the years makes him feel that there will definitely be a reversal next.
Since I have defended it, the corresponding plot will definitely be triggered.
Just in case, be prepared to escape.
I watched as a huge army of undead entered the city from afar and marched towards this side.
Xiao Jie's heart was in turmoil and he kept looking around.
(Shit, why hasn’t it come yet? Where’s the follow-up plot? Where’s the twist? There can’t be any.)
Finally, the Ghost King of the Underworld arrived at the inner city with his army.
In the distance are players ready to run away at any time, and on the top of the city are Xiao Jie and the NPC defenders.
The ghost king of the underworld looked coldly at the trembling soldiers on Chengtou Mountain, and his gaze finally fell on Xiao Jie.
"Mortals, your resistance is meaningless. Why not join me and become my people? Everything in this world will eventually perish, and only death is eternal."
Xiao Jie sighed inwardly and was about to say a few harsh words and then run away.
Suddenly, a mocking voice was heard in the sky.
"I didn't expect that after thousands of years, you still look so weird."
The sound was long and clear, and although it was not loud, it echoed throughout the city.
Xiao Jie was delighted and looked towards the sky quickly. He saw a crane descending from the sky. On the crane was a man sitting cross-legged. It was a handsome Taoist priest, exuding spiritual power visible to the naked eye.
True Man Qingfeng (Master of Xuanxu Palace): Sect leader at level 55. HP: 4800!
Thank God, it really came! Xiao Jie was relieved.
The level 55 sect leader is one level higher than the opponent's level 54 boss.
But isn't it a bit too arrogant to be alone?
The Ghost King of the Netherworld seemed to recognize Master Qingfeng.
"Humph, who do you think you are? Are you the boy that Xuanxuzi sat under back then?"
"Hahahaha, old ghost has a good memory. He still remembers me after thousands of years."
