Chapter 71: Are You in a Hurry?
Rove dragged Glosannie just in time to retreat to the second underground cavern, and then he felt a violent earthquake-like tremor like a mountain collapse. Then he witnessed with his own eyes that the corpses on the ground in the second underground cavern stood up one after another, swaying gently, without being awakened by the soul-calling spell.
Those idiots, those complete idiots!
He already knew from the residual memories of magician Salo that after the destruction of four or more layers of the Thirteen Layers of Extreme Yin Gathering Spirit Magic Array, what kind of maddening things would happen. How could he not know that everything he saw and felt now was precisely the characteristics of the Thirteen Layers of Extreme Yin Gathering Spirit Magic Array being destroyed in four or more layers?
"Get ready for battle, Grolseni. We can't escape anymore. Remember what I told you, to kill any undead creature other than ghosts, the archer must shoot every arrow into their eye sockets."
Luoyi let out a long sigh, he had already been considering the issue of food reserves, heaven knows how long it would take to clear out all the undead and kill his way out in this thoroughly sealed Soul Lock?
"What if I encounter a ghost? Where should I shoot it?"
Obviously there aren't as many Glozelle's like Rovi around, yet she asked such a question.
"When the ghost is not attacking, normal attacks can't hurt their intangible bodies no matter where you shoot. But when the ghost transforms into a semi-corporeal state and launches an attack, it doesn't matter where you shoot them."
When he said this, Luo Wei dragged Ge Luoxi back constantly. He knew that there were also many subsidiary small caves around the second underground cave, and Luo Wei planned to find a subsidiary small cave without an exit to take refuge temporarily.
Go back to the ground?
At this moment when the extremely evil spirit gathering magic array has been destroyed, all vengeful spirits in the Valley of the Dead will go crazy searching for living PKs. Only a fool would continue running towards the exit on the ground.
Because they also understood the severity of the matter, the guide quickly changed from Rovi to Glosanni. The newly revived zombie cave people along the way sensed the fresh flesh and blood, and under the drive of their zombie instincts, they tried to intercept Rovi and Glosanni as they ran past them.
Unfortunately, the people in the zombie cave apparently found the wrong target to attack. They hadn't even been able to get close to Rovy and Grolseny before they were beaten by the four "undead traitors" guarding them, including Talant, with chaotic knives and hammers, their souls bursting into scattered flames.
Of course, these zombie cave men also caused trouble, as even Rovi, who couldn't see very far, easily discovered that it wasn't easy to make the cave men return to their undead state.
The zombie-like cave man is even more like a giant potato than when he was alive, and wanting to accurately smash that semi-circular head of the giant potato is absolutely one hundred times more difficult than smashing a master-level mole!
Fortunately, Tyrant had already evolved into a Copper-skinned Ghoul and the power stored within his sturdy body was truly astonishing. The memories obtained from the Devouring of the Triple-headed Flail allowed Tyrant to become a master with both strength and skill. Hmm... at least when it came to swinging the triple-headed flail to smash other zombies' heads, Tyrant was undoubtedly a master, a true master, an unparalleled master.
With the help of the explosive and impulsive Tarrant, Glosoni successfully lured Rovi into a moderately sized subsidiary cave. After clearing out several skull soldiers inside the subsidiary cave, all that was left to do was defend the cave.
If it were someone else, it would be quite difficult to hold on, but for Luo Wei, a half-road-out-of-home undead wizard, the difficulty coefficient suddenly dropped by several percentage points.
Whether it's Tyrant or Zombie Lord Nelson, they are all bronze-tier undead creatures. One has a copper skin that is cut and emits fire sparks, while the other wears a star-iron lock armor with extremely high physical defense. Those zombie-cave humans who have been reduced to mere instinct after being zombified, how can they break through this steel defense line in a narrow passage?
Furthermore, behind Tyrant and Zombie Lord Nelson, stood the Skull Swordsmen O'Hei and the Skull Longbowman Robin Hood. Although their strength was still at the White Iron level, they could still exert their effects of attacking from behind and shooting arrows to injure people.
If the situation becomes urgent, Glorenza, who will not be affected by the 100% accuracy of close-range archery, and Rovy, who has mastered the Shiryu Ryusei sword technique after being bitten by a strange creature and unexpectedly picked up the magic sword Shishio no Kiba, can also show off their skills in cutting grass.
If the situation were even more urgent, Luo Wei would not hesitate to chant a short incantation and release the group injury magic ice spear stored in the black ice skull pendant, clearing the area in the narrow corridor.
So Rove didn't retreat to the deepest part of the annex cave from the start, but instead adopted a strategy of defending the entrance of the passage connecting the main cave first and then retreating deeper into the cave step by step.
It was just this one battle of resistance, but it fought until the sky was dark and the earth was dim, because the number of undead pouring in endlessly was really too many!
When the frenzied assault of the undead creatures on the small cave gradually weakened, at least three or four hours had passed.
In these three or four hours, Luo Wei and his party had killed more than 500 undead creatures of all kinds. The connecting passages between the large and small caves were almost filled with the corpses of various undead creatures.
As the number of vengeful spirits rushing to attack decreased, Luo Wei finally let out a sigh of relief and quickly used Soul Fire Replenishment to replenish his heavily injured undead servants and himself, who was exhausted.
The first two rounds of replenishment were fine, and nothing unexpected happened. However, when Luo Wei drew out the soul fire of an undead swordsman to feed it to Undead Lord Nelson, the unusual bite that had not been seen in a long time occurred again.
To be honest, Luo Wei had already mentally prepared himself for the recurrence of the anomaly. After all, someone like him who frequently deprived the souls of the strong-willed deceased to feed his own undead servants would inevitably lead to the conclusion that anomalies were bound to happen from time to time, even if it was just a matter of statistical probability.
Good fortune struck again, and Zombie Lord Nelson also survived the Special Bite, then stood up straight and picked up a rusty sword to successfully transform himself into a dual-wielding zombie warrior.
"Hmm..."
Watching Lord Nelson's zombie pick up a sword, Rovey let out a breath - saying he wasn't worried about the failure of the special bite was a lie, after all, Rovey only had these four undead servants.
However, Luo Wei didn't have time to let Zombie Nelson play a couple of tricks to see the effect before he heard Glorene's voice.
"Luó wēi, nǐ jí bù jí?"
Translation: "Luo Wei, are you anxious?"
Gloria asked as such.
