Chapter 114 The Challenge of the Corpse Emperor
According to Afeng and historians' speculation, the Church of Light cannot openly declare war on all players who choose the hidden profession of the Necromancer. In this case, the weak Necromancers will not have the chance to survive. They are an act that seriously violates the rules of the game's balance. Therefore, it is very likely to curb our development through tasks and special events. Fourth-level professions have appeared, and the circulation between the mainland will be not far away. Faced with potential threats, the best strategy is to try to improve one's own strength.
I am still busy in the "Neon Space" every day, running around. In order to improve work efficiency, the old zombies and phosphorescent commanded the zombies and skeleton archers to subdue me in their respective ranges of activities. I just signed a "soul contract" with a group of zombies, and rushed to subdue a group of skeleton archers. I was not idle for a moment. If it weren't for Taotao's transportation, I would have to exhaust me to death.
This was also a helpless move. Although I learned about some advanced undead creatures from Skynet, I still didn't dare to rush in and take risks. He entered there not to increase his qualifications. At first, he was accompanying the elves and witches to visit, but later he searched everywhere. It was a surprise that he had too good luck to subdue the disabled black warrior. This ultra-low probability event is as hard to come by, just like I was drawn to a magical artifact, and it was not worth much in improving the qualifications.
My purpose is to increase my qualifications. Although the effect of subduing zombies and skeleton shooters on the growth of qualifications and mental power is not very obvious, but it is better than nothing. You can win by volume. If you accumulate a small amount, it is much more cost-effective than challenging advanced undeads overestimate your ability. If you go to less people, you will not be used. If you kill all of them, you will easily be besieged and have a full-scale war. Even if you have better luck, you can defeat one, but you have tried it on the ring. These advanced undeads are all firm in their will and their souls are extremely powerful. I am not sure that they can subdue them. If the result of paying a huge price is to kill a black warrior and unable to sign a "soul contract" with them, such an action has no meaning at all.
Now I have nearly 30,000 undead army, of which zombies and skeleton shooters each account for half. However, it is also a problem to have too many people. Due to their own strength, the old zombies and phosphorescence cannot command the actions of such a huge legion. As a result, I have to place them in two areas to gather together, rest during normal times, and mobilize them when there is something to do. The newly conquered undead were brought back here, which is regarded as two new territories I have opened up.
Tongxin League has also developed well. It has won the championship in the team competition in cooperation with Longxing Tianxia, which not only made several of us participants famous, but also indirectly enhanced the reputation of Tongxin League. Many players have applied for joining with their relationship. Moreover, with the help of the architects supported by Longxing Tianxia, the construction of the station has begun to take shape, and at least every new member can have the most basic place to sacrifice.
Usually, it mainly focuses on collective leveling, and it also takes on some tasks from time to time, such as the mercenary group task with the reward item "Hundred People Order". Yamato Spirit's Sun Bullet Mercenary Group attacked strongly, dispatching most of the main forces, and putting on a stance of winning. The forces affiliated to Hua Mantian in the team also show that the purpose of this operation was to help Hua Mantian form a mercenary group.
According to the settings, the mercenary group tasks can be applied for by multiple people and compete with each other, but only those who complete the task can get rewards. Faced with this big fat piece, the Blue Falun mercenary group formed by the God of War of the Ganges will naturally not let go easily, and the whole group's strength will also participate in the competition. As the earliest mercenary group of Tongxin Alliance, it has completed a similar task and tasted the sweetness from it. It is reasonable and has no reason to give up, and has also undertaken this task. As for Long Xingtianxia, who is still busy completing the task of forming a mercenary group, is not qualified to participate, otherwise it will be even more lively with it.
Among these three teams, Yamato Spirit's Sun Bullish Mercenary Group has the greatest power, and has joined forces with Hua Mantian to work together. Its strength is far greater than that of the Blue Falun Mercenary Group, and it has the most hope of completing the task. Although our Tongxin Alliance has undertaken the task, it just bluffs, making the situation even more chaotic, and there is no intention to compete in substantial competition. First, facing a large group of people led by Hua Mantian, Yamamoto Kyushu and others, even if I have no chance of winning, second, Hua Mantian is clearly determined to win this time. We have joined forces with Long Xingtian to defeat him once at the "World Heroes Conference". If this time, the Tongxin Alliance made him dream of becoming empty, the revenge will be enormous. In anger, shame and anger, it is likely to launch revenge against us. It can be said that the gain is not worth the loss. Everything is just beginning, and there is no need to establish an enemy too early.
Although he was a little unwilling to give up, he finally agreed to this plan from a global perspective. Therefore, the team led by Afeng did not dispatch some absolute main forces, such as Yun Wuying, to show an attitude of speculation. The real purpose was to reconnaissance and trouble. On the one hand, he took the opportunity to understand the power situation of all parties, and on the other hand, he was looking for opportunities to secretly help the Blue Falun mercenary group of the God of War in the Ganges, hoping that they would complete this task and use their hands to defeat Hua Mantian. Such a use of a knife to kill people is really a killing of two birds with one stone.
The plan was carried out effectively, and it was in secret to make trouble and helped in a critical moment. It was ruined several times in a row. It failed at the critical moment, which greatly delayed Hua Mantian's actions, and was even almost succeeded by Blue Falun.
Faced with the full challenge of the Blue Falun mercenary group, the Sun Buluo Mercenary Group performed quite toughly. After discovering that the opponent's strength was not weak, the Japanese hero immediately organized the second batch of reinforcements, which had an absolute advantage. At first sight, Afeng stopped the troops early, withdrew from the competition, and continued to go back and seized the time to level up. However, the God of War of the Ganges was slightly inferior in strength, and it was difficult for the two companies to join forces. Several conflicts were at a disadvantage, and in the end they could only end sadly. The "Hundred People Order" finally fell into Hua Mantian's hands. The establishment of the fifth mercenary group in the Eastern Continent is just around the corner.
Afeng felt very sorry for mentioning it afterwards. That time was actually a good opportunity. It was all because of the fact that the God of War in the Ganges was not good. If he could seize the opportunity, how could he be a cheap playboy? He is such a Liu Ado that cannot be helped.
Unfortunately, I have tens of thousands of legions, but I can't call them. Otherwise, such a task would not be easy to capture. How could I be afraid of just a flower in the sky? Alas, this damn skill limit! No wonder the undead clan cannot carry it forward.
I entered the "uncle space" again, but suddenly I noticed a powerful spiritual fluctuation towards me, as if full of hostility. My strength was far above the old zombie territory. I felt the position and it turned out to be near the zombie territory. I couldn't help but be shocked. Before I left, I told the old zombie to be calm and not to cause trouble for me. Could it be that it offended some big man and came forward to trouble me, my master?
With my spiritual connection, I felt that Lao Zombie and they were all safe and a little relieved, but they seemed to be very scared. Their fear was not less than when facing me, and even the summoning command was blocked by the powerful force. I didn't see any response from Lao Zombie, but suddenly I became worried again.
Before I could wait for Taotao to come over from the phosphorescence, I went straight to the zombie territory. I didn’t know much about it, and who knew what strange things would happen. I have worked hard to conquer them slowly. I finally accumulated the scale of the current ones, so I can’t make any mistakes.
Although I had an unknown premonition in my heart, the scene I was really surprised when I was facing it. More than 10,000 zombies in the huge territory could not see a erect body, and they all crawled on the ground, trembling under a strong pressure. Even the old zombie, the thousand-year-old corpse king, was unable to resist. Although it was not as strong as an ordinary zombie, its body was forced to be half short, and it was shaking and could be straddled at any time. The ones who caused all this were the tall zombies wearing a yellow robe and a black and golden crown standing in front of the territory.
After staying in the "Dead Space" for so long, the zombies I saw were naked and rotten. Even the old zombie king, the thousand-year-old corpse king, was in nowhere. This was the first time I saw a zombie wearing clothes and crowns. Judging from its outfit and momentum, it looked like a very arrogant emperor. My heart suddenly sank, and a noun popped up in my mind, "Corpse King, this zombie must be the rumored Ten Thousand-year-old corpse king."
Although he did not turn his face to look here, I could feel that he was observing me all the time, and his powerful mental power was constantly impacting and oppressing me, trying to weaken my will and develop a sense of surrender. Fortunately, my mental power was already condensed enough. Although I had no counterattack, I could barely compete with it. I stood there quietly as usual, so that I would not show my misfortune on the spot and be intimidated by its tyranny.
After an invisible contest, the spiritual oppression of the undead creatures did not have any effect on me, the undead wizard. With a muffled groan, the surging spiritual shock wave retreated like a tide. The Wannian Corpse Emperor slowly turned around and faced me.
It is about two meters tall, not taller than the old zombies, but there is no sign of decay in the body, and it is more similar to a mummy like a black warrior. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as a mummy. A pair of white eyes have faint light shot out, aloof and arrogant, and outstanding strength. This is what I give it.
"I, the fifth corpse emperor Kaben." Such a message echoed in my mind.
The Fifth Corpse Emperor, then, there are at least four Ten Thousand Year Corpse Emperors, "I, the intermediate undead wizard, Ah Dai." I couldn't figure out what it was meant to, so I could only try to make my tone look friendly.
"They," Kaben, the corpse king, raised his chin slightly at the zombies crawling on the ground, "All of them are your subordinates?"
"Yes." I replied nervously.
"Then, I, the fifth corpse emperor, challenge you on behalf of the five corpse emperors!" He said firmly without a trace of hesitation.
It seems that it wasn't because the old zombies made a mistake and they caused trouble. They seemed to be coming directly at me. Isn't this bullying? I haven't provoked them. I have always conquered them. The territory I have chosen is even more in the remote and uninvading place. I have never violated the vested interests of other families. Why are people still coming to me?
"Why?" I have to give a reasonable reason to challenge me so suddenly. According to the rules, low-level undead creatures will not go to war casually.
"Since ancient times, according to the law of the necromancer, there can only be five corpse kings in the world of zombies, each commanding tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of zombies. The newly generated strong men must challenge one of the five corpse kings. The winner succeeds to the throne as the new corpse king. If the defeat fails, he will lose everything he has, his soul dissipates, and he will wait for rebirth."
"But I don't want to challenge your authority, nor do I want to fight for the position of the Corpse Emperor. Besides, I am not a zombie in the ten thousand years. Can you not accept the challenge?" I am just a small person, but I don't have that great ambition to be king.
"It's impossible. Although you are not our kind, you are essentially similar to us. You have more than 10,000 zombies subordinates and have reached the conditions to become a corpse king. After collective discussion by the five corpse kings, they decided to give you the same qualification as us. Therefore, according to the law, you must accept the challenge of the corpse king."
This is rape of public opinion. I didn't consider my feelings at all. I randomly granted me the qualification of a ten thousand-year-old zombie, and I didn't look at it carefully. Although it was a bit bad for Yushu's handsomeness, it was definitely not suitable for ugly zombies.
"Can I ask some questions?" I asked tentatively, wondering if the zombie boss is obliged to answer the questions.
"Yes." Fortunately, the setting is quite humane.
"Which of the five corpse kings are there? Who is the weakest? Do I have to challenge you? Can I choose to challenge your opponent freely?" Hearing the tone of this corpse king Kaben, it seems that challenging is a foregone conclusion and there is no need to discuss it. Since that is the case, it is better to know more about the situation and see if there are any loopholes to take advantage of. Besides, I want me to accept the challenge if this one has the strongest strength, wouldn't I be fooled?
"The fifth corpse emperor Kaben, governs 15,000 zombies; the fourth corpse emperor Luha, governs 30,000 zombies; the third corpse emperor Tana, governs 50,000 zombies; the second corpse emperor Sando, governs 100,000 zombies; the first corpse emperor Heitian, governs 200,000 zombies. The strength is rising step by step, with my weakest strength. When you have a zombie legion with the same number as the corpse emperor, you will be challenged by the corpse emperor at that level, and once you succeed, you can take its place. In theory, you can choose any corpse emperor as your opponent, but if your strength is too poor, the high-ranking corpse emperor has the right to refuse."
So that's it, then forget it. The challenge will lead to death faster than the level. Alas, my subordinates accidentally collected too much, and they actually reached the bottom limit of the fifth Corpse Emperor challenge. Unfortunately, no one told me how I knew these damn necromancer laws.
"What if I take the initiative to admit defeat?" There was still a trace of fantasy in my heart. If I take the initiative to give up the punishment, I could consider it. I thought it would take a lot of effort to clean up a thousand-year corpse king. Faced with the stronger ten thousand-year corpse king, I had no confidence at all.
