Chapter 218 The Evil Corpse Demon and Jia Xu Wake Up!

Gan Ning had no room to fight back when facing more and more Canglong Guards. He could only passively take defense. The situation was obviously getting worse and worse for him.

The human lord was so passive before he even got out of the game.

The action had obviously failed.

The strength of this human territory was far stronger than expected. If the fight continued, it would probably be annihilated. The lord behind him was obviously aware of this.

The lord's acolyte suddenly launched a mental transmission.

A mental transmission that only they could hear said, "Give up the action, retreat!"

The acolyte, who was wrapped tightly in a black robe, suddenly raised the long staff in his hand and stabbed it into his body. Then a large group of thick and corrosive poisonous fog was released from his body.

Almost in the blink of an eye.

The poisonous fog enveloped the surrounding area for dozens of meters.

Although this attack did not distinguish between enemies and friends, the Bone Clan was immune to this highly toxic effect. Gan Ning took the opportunity to launch the shadow teleportation and escaped from the siege of the eight dragon guards.

"Let's go!"

Gan Ning ignored his other companions and appeared beside Su Fei. The two swords suddenly touched each other, and the shadow force field released instantly enveloped the two people's bodies.

The next moment.

Disappeared.

When Zhang Zhongjing found that Gan Ning and Su Fei disappeared out of thin air.

He hurriedly shouted to the Canglong Guards: "Not good, the thieves have escaped, chase them quickly!"

Zhang San, Li Si and other Canglong Guards quickly scattered in all directions. They tried to find Gan Ning's escaping figure, but found that there was no breath left in Luoshui City.

"Huh?"

In the core hall.

Hang Yu found that Gan Ning and Su Fei's breath disappeared in Luoshui City all of a sudden.

This is not an ordinary shadow stealth, he took action immediately without hesitation.

In the sky above Luoshui City, a majestic thunder horned eagle was summoned, with lightning and lightning wrapped around it, circling around Luoshui City at a very fast speed.

Hang Yu soon found some traces. He waved his teleportation staff and summoned a portal in an instant. Then he flashed into the portal and instantly appeared in the woods more than ten miles away.

This is here!

There are traces of the undead like Gan Ning.

This means that Gan Ning and others have appeared here before.

Hang Yu soon found a stone in the woods. On the stone was a rune short halberd. The runes on it were rapidly dissipating, leaving a faint breath of space energy.

"Teleportation secret?!"

Hang Yu speculated based on the current situation.

Gan Ning has two main abilities.

The first is the ability of the shadow system, which mainly includes the shadow march that can move in groups, and the shadow body skills and shadow knife skills that are extremely fast and elusive.

The second seems to be a space teleportation ability. Before attacking Luoshui City, he left a transfer point at this location, that is, this rune halberd, as a backup for his escape.

Once the mission is completed.

Or encounter a dangerous mission failure.

Gan Ning can quickly escape and evacuate through the ability of fixed-point teleportation.

Although this ability can only be used in the shadow state, it is by no means a simple shadow skill, but a spatial means used in a limited state.

The rune halberd is the mark.

After Gan Ning enters the shadow state.

He can teleport and jump at all the rune halberd marked locations.

Unless all the marked points are found in advance, it is very difficult to catch him.

This is simply the Flying Thunder God Technique in the animation, and it is the Flying Thunder God Technique that can lead multiple people to achieve space jumps at the same time. With this technique as a bottom-line means, combined with the ability of shadow marching, it is enough for Gan Ning to lead troops to a surprise attack and retreat unscathed.

He is worthy of the qualifications of a first-class general.

Gan Ning still has something!

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and many historical legends, there are many records about Gan Ning's achievements. Among them, the most legendary and famous one is the story of "Hundred Riders Robbery Camp".

This happened after Zhang Liao "shocked Xiaoyaojin".

At that time, Sun Quan had just experienced a disastrous defeat at Hefei. When he was packing up his troops, he suddenly heard that Cao Cao was coming to help. Sun Quan sent General Ling Cao to lead 3,000 troops to stop him and dampen his morale.

Ling Cao soon fell into a bitter battle and the situation was very critical.

Gan Ning then volunteered to Sun Quan and then attacked Cao's camp with a hundred cavalrymen. As a result, he not only severely dampened Cao's morale, but also killed and wounded countless Cao soldiers. He also escaped and returned victorious without losing a single soldier in the whole process.

This was a rare highlight moment for Sun Shiwan.

Sun Quan said to everyone since then: "Meng De has Zhang Liao, and I have Gan Xingba, who are enough to fight against them."

The abilities and methods of the famous generals in the Abyss Three Kingdoms are greatly influenced by history and legends, and Gan Ning's performance today has indeed impressed Hang Yu.

Well, let's just say he was lucky this time.

Anyway, there was no loss on his side.

This method of Gan Ning was useful to Hang Yu for the first time.

It was impossible for him to launch a surprise attack on the main city for a second time, let alone successfully escape for a second time.

Hang Yu returned to the Lord's Core Hall from the portal.

Although it was a pity that Gan Ning was not eliminated in this battle, the overall harvest was still great.

Towards Huangmei Township.

Under the leadership of Zhou Cang and Canglongwei, the Scourge Army successfully broke through the enemy's stronghold without any surprise, and successively killed the enemy general Zhang Shuo, plus eight or nine hundred dead skeletons.

One thousand Scourge Army soldiers who charged into battle were also killed or wounded in the process.

Although the level of this batch of Scourge Army was not very high, it also converted about 3.5 million spirit income for Hang Yu.

In this battle, the enemy army dropped more than 6 million spirits, of which about half of the spirits were too late for players to pick up, and finally all were taken away by Hang Yu through the relic orb.

The total income of Huangmei Township was close to 7 million.

Towards Shansang City.

The battle became more intense.

One thousand five hundred players successively made suicide reinforcements.

On average, each player died at least twice, and a total of 1,400 to 1,500 enemy soldiers were eliminated.

Hang Yu obtained more than 19 million essence from players, and the scattered essence picked up from the battlefield reached 6.5 million.

Shansang City's income was about 25.5 million.

The total income of the two battlefields was about 32 million.

Hang Yu took out 12 million to reward the players who participated in the action.

This was enough to double or even make up for the loss of essence during their death.

This essence reward plus the rich essence picked up from the spoils, many players upgraded because of this, allowing the territory to have nearly 100 more second-level players and at least seven third-level players.

Hang Yu pocketed 20 million.

Recently, the territory's reserve essence has been used up a bit quickly.

The essence obtained now is just enough to replenish the inventory.

In addition to the rich essence income, the skeletons of the dead drop very rich magic crystals. Each first-level skeleton can explode 20 magic crystals, and the second-level skeleton starts at 40 magic crystals.

The main forces stationed in Huangmei Township and attacking Shansang are generally second-level skeletons above level 11, among which the number of levels 12-15 is the largest, and some elites can reach level 16 or above.

Although most of these drops have not yet been obtained.

But Hang Yu can roughly calculate.

This battle contributed at least 80,000 magic crystals to the territory.

Hang Yu is in need of magic crystals at this time, because the investment in recruitment and construction of the territory is currently tight, and there is a huge funding gap in the long run.

In addition to the magic crystal income.

The territory also harvested at least more than 3,000 pieces of equipment.

Although they are all limited to dead bones, they can be used by humans after some modifications.

As for the parts with poor attributes and poor quality, they can be sold or decomposed into the equipment essence consumed by repairing equipment, which is also a consumable resource that the territory needs to replenish.

The first battle of the Lord War came to an end.

Although Hang Yu was on the defensive side in the early stage of this Lord War, the enemy's first round of operations had already been declared a complete failure.

After this battle.

The defenders of Shansang City suffered some losses.

But most of the defenders of Shansang City shot arrows from the city tower or arrow tower.

From the beginning to the end, it was the Scourge Army that rushed to the front and engaged in close combat.

Because of this, the players suffered the vast majority of casualties, while the immortal Scourge Army would not really lose anything, so overall, the damage caused by this war was minimal, but the gains were huge.

The gains were not only spoils of war such as essence, magic crystals, and equipment, but also the successful annihilation of more than 2,000 live troops of the other side, and the information of many generals of the Bone Army including Gan Ning was obtained.

It was very beneficial for the next battle.

On the other hand, the other side not only failed in the surprise attack plan, but also lost a large number of live troops, but gained nothing.

During the whole process, Hang Yu was not forced out, and no strength and ability information was leaked, which made it impossible for them to formulate targeted plans against this human lord.

As for Hang Yu.

Although there are regrets.

For example, Gan Ning was withdrawn.

But the battle in the main city was not without gain.

Only two of Gan Ning's ten-man surprise attack team escaped, and the other eight stayed forever, including an acolyte secret guard, which further exposed important information.

"It's the evil corpse demon!"

After seeing the acolyte secret guard, Hang Yu concluded that this was a race called "Evil Corpse Demon", and the evil corpse demon was a type of corpse demon in the undead race.

The undead race is a large race among the stars.

It is mainly composed of four major groups: "Bone Clan", "Corpse Clan", "Blood Clan" and "Soul Clan".

The bone clan includes the dead bone clans, the blood clan is vampires, and the soul clan is a ghost-like race that exists in spirits.

As for the corpse clan, as the name suggests, it is a variety of zombies and demon corpses. Its characteristics are that it has more physical enhancement and recovery talents, and it has a higher resistance to soul and mental attacks.

Corpse demons are a more powerful type of corpse clan.

The evil corpse demon is a branch of the corpse demon, also known as the corpse witch clan.

Not only do they have strong bodies, they also possess the top magic talents among corpse demons, and are naturally good at many tricky spells.

This evil corpse demon lord deliberately exposed his skeleton army to Hang Yu, in fact, he was trying to deceive him strategically and make him careless.

After all, for this lower-level race that is not much stronger than humans.

The evil corpse demons are much more difficult to deal with!

Let’s not talk about anything else.

Just the dependents.

From the moment they are summoned, the weakest is level 10, and even level 11 second-level units can be summoned directly.

They not only have second-level combat power, but also have multiple racial talents and innate skills, with quite good initial attributes and combat power.

As for why the corpse demon lord has a large number of dead skeleton dependents?

This is the characteristic of the undead star lord.

Relatively superior Undead Lords can create lower Undead races as their followers, and the corpse demons can create a skeleton army on such a large scale, most likely because they have obtained a star building that can transform natives into skeletons.

Although the corpse demon lord actually controls only three grids of the map, the map quality is quite high.

At least there are quite rich population resources, otherwise the corpse demon lord cannot create a skeleton army of this scale.

Although the evil corpse demon is a bit difficult to deal with, Hang Yu has sufficient confidence in the territory and troops. The stronger the enemy, the more powerful the talent that can be seized, and the larger the size of the enemy's army, the more spoils can be obtained.

When Hang Yu summarized his gains and experience and began to make a new round of adjustments and plans for the territory and the distribution of troops, suddenly a message came from Xinwan:

Jia Xu has temporarily awakened from his slumber!

This is really good news!

Hang Yu is thirsty for talent.

And the size of the territory is getting bigger and bigger.

It needs civil officials and counselors like Jia Xu.

The most important thing is that Jia Xu's innate means and the extremely Yin secrets he has comprehended seem to belong to the means of the shadow system and the undead system. If he can be used to deal with the threat of the evil corpse demon, it will be easier.

What's more, the strength and future growth potential of this ancient poison master are very amazing. He is definitely not just a hegemon-level unit!

Immediately give the order.

Summon Zhang Zhongjing.

"I am incompetent, so the thief leader of the main city escaped!"

"Doctor Zhang, don't blame yourself. It's not your responsibility to resist foreign enemies. What's more, Gan Ning's means are really extraordinary. Even if I personally take action, I may not be able to stop him from escaping without any preparation."

This is the truth. Although with Hang Yu's current strength, even Zhang Xiu in the state of the Son of Filth can be easily defeated in a few rounds, and Gan Ning is not as good as Zhang Xiu in the Son of Filth in terms of combat power,

Gan Ning's shadow body movement is more flexible.

The shadow teleportation ability is indeed a life-saving skill.

Hang Yu fought with him for the first time without any intelligence or understanding of his abilities. Although he could defeat him with overwhelming strength, he could easily escape if he was not careful, not to mention Zhang Zhongjing and Canglong Guard.

"Yin Jiaxu has awakened, old doctor, come with me!"

Zhang Zhongjing was depressed by Gan Ning's escape.

Although he was just a doctor and alchemist, the gifts and rewards given by the lord during this period were really generous, which made him feel guilty and unable to repay.

In addition to daily research on elixirs and alchemy, today he finally had the opportunity to make merit, but he let the most dangerous enemy leader go. This was really a shame for the lord's great kindness.

"What? Mr. Jia is awake!"

Zhang Zhongjing was also refreshed when he heard this. He had known Jia Xu for many years and knew his wisdom and means.

If Mr. Jia could be cured and allowed to join the territory.

This would also be a great achievement.

Hang Yu recalled Zhou Cang, who was sent out to protect the main city, and Wen Pin continued to stay in Shansang City, and then teleported to Xinwan with Zhang Zhongjing.

At this moment, the preliminary contest between the two territories has ended. At least in one or two days, the corpse witch lord is unlikely to launch a large-scale action again. Hang Yu wants to seize the time to solve the problem of Jia Xu and formally incorporate him and the Jiyin Sect into the territory.

Prepare for the next contest!

...

At the same time.

After the action failed.

Several skeleton generals integrated the remaining dead bone army and returned to the territory.

Gan Ning, Huang Zu and other dead bone clan generals, after feeling the call of the lord, they teleported several times through the blessing point and finally returned to the main city of their own territory.

The main city of this evil corpse demon territory is called the Dark Blood City.

The whole city has a unique style and distinct characteristics. First of all, the area where the city is located is shrouded in a layer of chaotic and lightless energy field. The only thing that can emit light is the faint ghost fire attached to various buildings.

The color tone of the Blood City is extremely cold. The whole city is composed of three colors: gray and white. Its architectural style is somewhat similar to the Gothic style on Earth. Tall spires, huge tombstones, pale bone buildings, dead gray vines, and desolate graveyards constitute everything here.

This is a common urban style for undead lords.

It has been fifteen years since the establishment of the City of Darkness.

This also means that this evil corpse demon has been operating in the Abyss World for at least fifteen years.

It took fifteen years to develop the fourth map. If this speed is placed in the lower race, it is considered relatively fast, but it is undoubtedly a relatively slow development speed for an evil corpse demon.

It is not that the corpse demon lord is incompetent.

In fact, the corpse demon lord who rules this city is a person with considerable means and background. He deliberately slows down his expansion speed in order to enhance the territory's foundation and reduce risks.

Because every map is full of unknowns.

And the faster the territory develops and the faster its own strength improves, the probability of triggering and being triggered by the lord war will also increase.

In the more than ten years that this corpse demon lord has ruled the territory, he has been very patient in operating and polishing his territory bit by bit, assimilating and eating the alien natives under the territory.

In the end, outside of his own corpse demon army.

He has accumulated a large-scale dead bone army.

However, when the strength develops to a certain extent, what is coming will eventually come, and the Lord War is still inevitable.

What surprised the Corpse Demon Lord was.

His opponent was a human.

In this abyss plane, there is actually a weak race like humans surviving... What is the difference between this game and giving it away for free?

Despite this, the Corpse Demon Lord was still very cautious, so he hid his power and only used the affiliated Corps of Dead Bones to develop a set of decapitation strategies in an attempt to end the war at the lowest cost.

However.

Unbelievable.

This operation ended in failure.

Although the enemy was a human lord, the territory of this human lord was unexpectedly powerful.

Gan Ning, Huang Zu and other skeleton generals walked on the cold rotten land of the Nether Blood City, and saw a giant four-sided pyramid-shaped building in the center of countless undead buildings that exuded the breath of stars.

This dark pyramid is two hundred meters high, with a hollow platform on the top and only a stone staircase leading to the lower level.

The stone staircase was very wide. Every ten steps on the left and right sides, there was a pair of soul lamps burning ghost fire. Near each soul lamp stood a black-robed acolyte and secret guard exuding a mysterious aura.

The giant black pyramid was surrounded by a well-organized corpse demon army. On the open platform at the top, there were more than a dozen high-ranking figures of the corpse demon clan, as well as the lord sitting on the throne at the center of the spire.

"Greetings, lord!"

Gan Ning and Huang Zu knelt on one knee.

They saluted the corpse demon lord at the highest point.

Before the corpse demon lord spoke, a burly corpse demon general under his seat could not help but scold: "Hmph, useless thing, how can you face the lord!"

Another corpse demon general could not help but rebuke: "You can't even deal with a human lord, and you have lost so many soldiers and horses. It's a waste that the lord has invested so much energy and resources in you and cultivated you for several years!"

Under the accusation of the high-level.

All the dead bones lowered their heads.

Huang Zu immediately said in a deep voice: "I have tried my best. The battle in Shansang City has been very fierce. The reason for the failure of this battle is that Gan Ning's surprise attack was unsuccessful!

Gan Ning is not a person who can be defeated.

Hearing this, he immediately said angrily:

"You are talking nonsense. Shansang City did not create enough pressure at all. It failed to attract the lord to come down. There are also a large number of strong elites stationed in the main city. This is the direct reason for the failure of this operation!"

Huang Zu and Gan Ning are not on good terms.

The two quarreled as soon as they disagreed.

"Enough!" At this time, a majestic voice came from the top of the throne. It was the master of the Nether Blood City and the Corpse Demon Territory.

Huang Zu, Gan Ning, and the high-level corpse demons shut up.

The evil corpse demon lord slowly said: "This lord has seen that the reason for this defeat is not the Corps of Dead Bones, but we underestimated the foundation and strength of this human territory!"

A corpse demon master who served in front of the seat was confused and said: "How can a human lord have such strength and foundation? There may be some secrets we don't know. "

The Corpse Demon Lord said calmly: "Although humans are weak, they have some special advantages that other races cannot match."

The Corpse Demon generals at the scene were thoughtful.

Although the reclamation of this abyss plane is quite difficult, the indigenous race of this abyss plane is and only the human race.

And this seems to be an advantage for the human lord.

The human lord did not show up at all in this battle. Whether it was the counterattack on Huangmei Township, the defense of Shansang City, or the blocking of Gan Ning's assassination, it was all done by the local strongmen recruited by the human lord.

Zhou Cang, Wen Pin, Zhang Zhongjing.

None of them is a simple character!

The Corpse Demon Lord speculated from various signs that the establishment of this human territory may not be longer than his own, but the reason why he was able to develop such a strong foundation is obviously that he has obtained the assistance and support of the local natives.

And this is an advantage that other alien lords.

It is difficult to obtain anyway!

The reason why the Corpse Demon Lord was able to subdue Gan Ning and Huang Zu was that he took advantage of their predicament and even desperate situation, and finally lured and bewitched them through a series of conspiracy methods, and finally achieved the effect.

Of course.

In addition to suspecting that the human lord might be lucky and be regarded as an object of assistance and loyalty by the local natives, the Corpse Demon Lord also realized that this human lord himself had some unusual means.

Because the Corpse Demon Lord discovered through watching the battle that the reinforcements of Shansang City seemed to have a strange undead characteristic, and the human family members did not drop spoils after being killed, and even suspected that they were resurrected after being killed in battle.

This phenomenon is very strange.

I don’t know what the reason is.

It is necessary to observe and test more carefully.

The Bone Corps suffered heavy losses in this battle, but the Bone Corps accounted for at most one-third of the entire territory’s military strength, and the Corpse Demon Lord did not invest all his strength.

As for the lost skeletons?

This is just a consumable of the territory.

The Corpse Demon Lord also stored a large amount of raw materials in the territory.

He can consume these native raw materials to continue producing dead skeletons.

"This defeat is nothing. Most lord wars require a long and repeated tug-of-war to determine the winner!" The corpse demon had a good mentality and did not get angry. "Although this human territory is stronger than expected, no matter how strong the human is, it is impossible for us to be a threat. They are just stepping stones for this lord to go further."

Indeed.

Other evil corpse demons nodded one after another.

Although this human got the help of many powerful natives and was extremely cautious, he luckily avoided the attack, but the gap between ordinary humans and evil corpse demons in terms of racial level is definitely not something that can be made up by this small advantage.

Among the basic soldiers summoned by the evil corpse demon, some can even reach the second level by nature and directly form a good combat power.

As long as there are magic crystals.

As long as the population capacity of the territory is sufficient.

Even a war of attrition can kill humans.

After all, if humans want to train the initial soldiers to the second level and give them a skill system that is sufficient to form combat power, the time and cost required are too great.

…………

At this moment.

In the real world.

Offline activity hotel for the Scourge Army.

This group of players suddenly went online halfway through the activity. More than ten hours have passed. During this process, no player went offline. Zhou Zhengming also learned about what happened in the game world through online revelations.

"It was so thrilling!"

"I didn't expect this star lord to be so cunning!"

When Zhou Zhengming learned that the overlord-level skeleton Gan Ning almost sneaked into the lord's castle to assassinate the lord, he was also shocked.

Although Zhou Zhengming felt that the lord should not be assassinated successfully, being close to the assassin was itself a matter of vigilance. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry.

If something happens to the lord.

That would be the end of it!

No one knows what will happen and what the consequences will be!

Fortunately, the territory left behind a Canglong Guard with unimaginable strength, and the genius doctor Zhang Zhongjing to kill the threat in time.

Seeing that the territory's current strength and foundation were stronger than he had imagined, Zhou Zhengming was completely relieved. Just as he opened the forum and prepared to check more revelations to understand the cause and effect of this matter and the detailed process.

"Director Zhou!"

Feng Ying came to his side.

Zhou Zhengming: "What? Did Academician Xia find anything?"

Feng Ying nodded with a serious expression: "Academician Xia's team has scanned this group of players, and finally concluded that... they are accumulating unimaginable potential and power in their bodies!"

"What do you mean?"

"Although players have found that after playing games, their physical fitness, physical fitness, and health have improved, according to analysis, the part that has been manifested so far is only a very small part."

Zhou Zhengming: "Academician Xia means... these natural disaster soldiers may already be potential supermen?"

Feng Ying nodded and said: "Although we have speculated on the occurrence of certain situations before, from the various data and signs collected so far, the critical point of this major event may be earlier than expected."
