Piao Tianzi     415  Undead Legion

"Leave the boss to me! You guys will focus on dealing with the miscellaneous fish!"

Wutong didn't have time to say anything, so she held the [Yanyang Lens] in her left hand and used it as a weapon for her deputy. A string of secret spells spit out from his lips and turned into 21 balls of light surrounding him. Then, the whistling missiles exploded accurately on the skull of a flame skeleton!

"Spirit headshot!"

Looking at the arcane missile hitting the unlucky flame skull one by one, although Paladin had said several words to himself without being surprised, he was still stunned again. Perhaps other players who are not professions of spellcasters did not see anything, but Paladin, as an arcane user, knew very well what Wutong had done just now: control the arcane!!!

This is not the so-called magic control ability and micro-operation technology, but the real change of arcane rules!!!

Arcane missiles...or in other words, most spells, even single spells, are actually scope spells in terms of damage form, which harm the enemy through "infection" and "explosion" of energy form.

This is also the reason why spell damage, unlike physical damage, has special damage characteristics such as [bleeding], [bruising], [virtual], [critical], [fatal], because spells cannot accurately hit a certain part of the enemy like arrows.

People hit by spells are actually injured by the "energy damage" and "elemental damage" formed when the spell explodes. In other words, in addition to the oscillation generated when the spell is blasted, they can only rely on the elemental forms mimicked by the aura to invade the enemy, such as the burning of flames, the freezing of ice, the paralysis of lightning, etc.

To put it simply, the magic effect released by the mage is actually a "grenade" rather than a "bullet". There is no way to point at the nose and hit the eyes... Is there any difference between hitting a grenade on the enemy's nose and throwing it near him?

It's a death after all!

Therefore, there is no need to aim at the designated part, and the mages cannot do it. Anyway, the damage the spell falls on the enemy's nose and on the butt will be completely consistent. Even if there is no direct hit, the impact will cause equal damage to the enemy.

The mage releases spells in fact through the "heart-eye locking", that is, as long as the mage can see the enemy, the spell can lock the enemy and then release it in the direction where the enemy is.

In the trajectory of spell flight, mages can create subtle connections between the mysteries and spells through their inner energy, thereby performing a certain degree of weak control and guidance to control the direction of spell flight. As long as the enemy's speed, agility and dodge attributes do not exceed the spell's flight speed, they have already left the range that spell can reach before the spell arrives, and can basically hit it.

As for those who can dodge... aren't there any expert who can dodge bullets? Who do you want to tell me? The speed of bullets is much faster than that of spells.

Therefore, if a mage releases spells, it is impossible to aim carefully without being able to aim carefully, because the instability of the aristocratic fluctuations and the irregularity of the spell form, it is unrealistic to "precisely guide".

It's like throwing a leaf on the dartboard. Before you take action, you can control the leaf to float in the direction you expect, but when it falls there, it depends on the mood of the leaves and the surrounding environment. If there is a downturn, it is not impossible to throw it out and directly hit it on your face.

The "inaccurate automatic locking tracking" characteristic of this spell is already a consensus among all spellcasters. It is believed that it is the unique rule of spells. After all, the power of spells is already terrifying. If you are like an archer, pointing your nose and hitting your eyes, you will still make others unable to survive?

But Wutong did this! He was constantly using arcane missiles to attack the skull of the flame skull!!!

Why did he do this?

Because the "soul fire" of the undead creature is located in the head, it is one of the few "critical" of the undead creatures. As long as the head of the skeleton is blown up, its soul fire will lose its support and will naturally perish because the soul fire dissipates.

But how did he do this?

It's very simple, because Wutong used the 0th-level general-purpose spell [Arcane trick]!

In the eyes of most people, the spell [Arcane trick] can be said to be the most useless spell in the magic system. It can neither attack the enemy nor be used to increase itself. Through the mimetic method of the aristocratic energy, you can instead light a small flame to attract fire, or clear the stolen goods on the object.

Most mages use this spell as a means to exercise magic control ability, and use it continuously when they are free to practice the changes, but few people use it in actual combat.

Fortunately, Wutong has a skilled teacher. Under the guidance of Zemur*, Wutong truly understood the meaning of this spell!

That is the change of Ao Neng!

Ao energy, which is the "mysterious magic energy", is actually an energy. It is not the elemental energy such as wind, fire, thunder and lightning in nature, but an energy form that is not compatible with any energy and does not repulse with any energy, but can simulate any elemental energy.

[Arcane trick] is the only spell that can achieve the transformation and changes of various forms of the Aaron Energy. To put it simply, Aaron Energy is a tool, while [Aaroncane trick] is the method of using it!

Originally, I thought [Archive Skills] were just useless garbage spells, but as Wutong's [knowledge] level became higher and higher, Wutong felt that the mystery of the spell of [Archive Skills] was like the most primitive initial form of any spell. Theoretically, as long as you master the [Archive Skills], you can simulate any spell.

Although Wutong felt that he had only a little knowledge of this spell and continued to improve his salary, this did not prevent Wutong's magic control ability from rising sharply during long-term training. Perhaps if his strength becomes strong enough in the future, he should be able to do more things [arcane tricks].

But now, he can only use the experience he has obtained from practice to slightly strengthen his skills in actual combat, such as the precise blow of spells!

As mentioned earlier, spells are "non-precision". If you throw a "leave" and it is difficult to accurately hit the target, then what about wrapping a "little pebble" in the leaves?

Wutong uses the "incompatible and unrepulsive" nature of the Ao Energy, and uses the [Arcane trick] to condense a small ice bead, and then attaches the [Arcane missile] to it, so that the [Arcane missile] in the energy form has the characteristics of a physical body and the "precision" of arrows or projectiles. However, because of the Ao Energy, it has the characteristics of "locking, tracking, and adsorbing" of spell energy.

In this way, Wutong's [Arcane Missile] has the correct head of the arrow and the automatic tracking ability of spells!

The Fiery Skeletons that have been strengthened to level 110 have a hp of 70,000+, and have a magic damage of 10,000+ for Wutong. If the magic resistance of the Fiery Skeleton is not considered, theoretically, only 7 missiles are enough to kill them.

However, Wutong's missile can only knock out its hundreds of hp. Based on the average of 500 hp per missile, Wutong has to bomb 140, and it can only kill one of the seven or eight rounds of [Arcane missiles]!

But in fact, Wutong killed a flame skeleton every two or three missiles on average, and a round of missiles was enough to kill eight, nine, and ten!

This is the spell version of the "pivot strike"!

The first shot is not to hurt the enemy. Through the mysterious energy of the missile, it forces the flame protection on the surface of the flame skeleton!

The second missile that followed exploded or blew away the head of the skull. No matter how hard the skull bone was, the fragile neck of the skull without the protection of the muscles and cortex could not resist the missile's Aura explosion, right?

The skeleton that lost its head naturally collapsed and shattered because it lost the support of "soul fire". The skeleton with only one head was left. Even if it was not dead, Wutong didn't believe it could jump up from the ground and bite people!

Wutong's two rounds of missiles killed all the flame skeletons. When he turned around, he found that Paladin and Wuxian had fought with the skeletons with great drastic moves. Because Wutong alone restrained all the spell monsters, the barbarians and trolls once again used their fierce melee advantage. He waved the heavy weapons in his hands and smashed them wildly. Even the golden bone shield carrying the bone shield was difficult to resist their attack.

The charge of a few Golden Bone Cavalry was also fat enough to resist the super barrier warrior, Fallen Heaven. The silver Bone Bow, which shot bone arrows in the back, was also [hidden] and touched several wanderers in their cluster and cut them into pieces!

After spending a little more time, they cleared the skeletons of Wutong and the others in this area, and advanced for a short while. They suddenly discovered that the gray fog that had been shrouded in them had finally dispersed. The scene in front of them suddenly became clear, revealing a gray plain with a flat horse. They finally entered the core area of ​​the gray bone plain!

However, the scene on the gray plain made everyone gasp in the air!

Broken flags, broken camps, and... built skeletons wandering on the plains.

If the ones they encountered in the fog-covered area before were just the old, weak, sick and disabled wandering soldiers, then the ones that appeared on the plain were mighty and powerful soldiers! This is a real undead legion!!

There are no silver skeletons here, all of which are shining with golden light, as if gold is cast into ordinary skeleton warriors. What is most surprising is that they are actually wearing a complete set of metal armor, and they are holding metal weapons with cold light flashing in their hands!

I don’t know how big the area of ​​the plain is. Wutong and the others looked around. There were dilapidated military camps all over the plain, and different military groups were on duty at their posts, as if they were still alive!

Wutong nodded to Paladin, and he gently patted the blood eagle on his shoulder, the demon pet who was in harmony with his master, closed his sharp eagle beak tightly, quietly soared into the air, flew into the high sky, hovering in the sky to investigate the situation on the entire plain.

There are some towering arrow towers scattered around each barracks, which seem to be decaying and collapse at any time, but there are ten golden bone bows stationed on each arrow tower!

And those skeletons wandering in groups did not walk around aimlessly, but were walking along certain trajectories and intervals, just like... patrol!

After observing for a while, Wutong and the others found that the outermost part were 10-person teams, and ten teams were in a batch, forming a loose formation in an orderly manner, patrolling the edge of the plain. Almost every ten minutes, a squadron of 100 people would pass by. In other words, if you want to pass through this area, you had to run over quickly within these ten minutes.

Next to the military camp in the distance, a group of thousands of people were practicing, and they were skeleton cavalry regiments! It is speculated that at least one army of ten thousand people was stationed in a military camp!!! And there are at least hundreds of huge military camps distributed on this plain!

In the center of these hundreds of barracks is a towering rock fortress. On the walls of the fortress, teams of skeleton soldiers holding spears are patrolling, and behind each mercedes is a golden bone bow holding a long bow!!!

Even Wutong, who has read a lot of books, does not have any information about these undead legions, just as these undead armies that have not known how long have existed, have never been discovered by the people of Andele. This is obviously unlikely. Even the first-level players can touch it here. There is no reason why those high-level indigenous people would not know that there is an undead army here.

But why is there no information about them? Could it be that someone deliberately hides it?

"We can't get in here!"

He stared at the patrolling skeleton teams in an attempt to analyze the movement rules between them so as to find the flaws they broke. However, it is obvious that no matter from that angle, they will at least alarm more than two skeleton teams at the same time. However, they cannot quietly solve the two skeleton teams before alarming other skeleton teams or other squads approaching!

Paladin also gasped: "This is not an undead legion left over from the ancient war era, is it?"

"It seems that our mission has ended here."

Wutong whispered in regret. Although the skeletons had a small perception range and had no real vision to detect enemies in the distance, the people who were active here were monsters above level 1, level 120, which forced him to be careful.

"Or why don't we sneak in and have a look?"

Unlimitedly said, "I am sure to pass through the patrol team on the periphery. There must be something in that fortress!" Even if I can't go in, it may be good to know more information.

Wutong and Paladin looked at each other and were quite moved. There were five members of the Wanderer profession. Although the occupation classifications were different, some were attacking assassins, some were Wind Killers, and some were Wind Thieves, but there was always one who could touch it and approach the fortress.

"My [Dead Ignorance] can help."

Ling Yue Shuangxue suddenly interrupted, and said, after releasing a magical technique on her body, she suddenly walked out, which surprised everyone.

However, Ling Yue Shuangxue, who was standing outside the gray fog, was standing there, and a team of skeletons that had come over walked straight over her, only about 10 meters away from her. This distance was obviously within the perception range of the skeletons!

After the skeleton team passed, Ling Yue Shuangxue carefully retreated: "I'm not sure how close they will be discovered, but skeletons below level 100 cannot find me outside the range of 5 meters. These skeletons look at least about level 120 to level 140, so I guess ten meters away, the effect of [Dead Ignorance Technique] should work!"

Everyone's eyes lit up. If this happens, coupled with the wanderers' [discovery] and [slide] skills, they might really sneak into that fortress!

"How long can [Dead Ignorance Technique] last?" Wutong quickly asked for details.

"I'm already level 1 and level 16 now."

Ling Yueshuang said: "But I have a piece of equipment on me that can increase the effect of level 5 magic, so the effect of [Dead Ignorance Technique] can last for 210 minutes, which is three and a half hours!"

Wutong looked at Wuxian and nodded: "It should be more than enough. If we can enter, three hours will be enough to search many places in the fortress. The remaining half an hour will be enough for us to return."

"That's good!"

Wutong made a gesture to Ling Yue Shuangxue, asking her to start applying [Dead Ignorance] to the wanderer in Wuxian, Xiao San, Zara, Wood, and Paladin, and then he took out some consuming props from the package, such as the super-quality potion he made, the copying of [Message] scroll, and even distributed some foods cooked to each of them that were fat enough to fall into the sky, as well as a few biscuits made by Xiaoxiao, candy snacks, and some special products that can temporarily increase speed and explosive power...

These things may be able to save their lives at critical moments, but after seeing Xiaoxiao take out a small snack from his bag, the barbarians and the trolls took a big step back in fear, causing a bunch of wanderers to look at them blankly, but these guys looked at them with a look of "I know, but I won't tell you!"

"...You can't touch or attack the undead creatures, otherwise the [Dead Ignorance Technique] will be invalid immediately!" Ling Yue Shuangxue, who had attached the [Dead Ignorance Technique] to the five wanderers, reminded them.

The five wanderers nodded, and at the same time, their bodies began to blur in everyone's eyes, leaving only a dim phantom. They quickly avoided the skeletons wandering on the plain and sneaked towards the fortress separately.

Watching the wanderers leave, the remaining people can't help but look at each other: "What are we doing now? Wait?"

Wutong looked at the skeleton team walking through the edge of the plain not far from the gray fog, touched her chin and pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Can the skeletons talk? Can they communicate with each other?"

Everyone was stunned, and Paladin wondered: "It shouldn't be possible? At least the low-level skeleton doesn't know, why are you asking this?"

"Isn't this going to alarm two skeleton teams at the same time if we fight outside? But what if we don't fight outside the gray fog?"

Everyone didn't understand what he meant.

"Look, since [the undead ignorance] will make the skeletons unable to see us and they cannot communicate with each other, do they mean that after they are attacked, they will not be able to notify the other skeleton teams around them?"

Wutong gestured and explained: "If we use the [Dead Ignorance Technique] to wait very close to their route, and then suddenly rushed forward to conduct a raid, is it possible that other skeleton teams will kill them before they are discovered by us?"

Paladin immediately shook his head: "Impossible, [The Undead Ignorance Technique] disappeared immediately as soon as it touched the skeleton. Isn't it the same as being discovered earlier or later?"
To be continued...
