Chapter 257: Underground Research Institute

Dread Knight Commander Jericho let out an angry roar. His right arm holding the sword has been severed, and the fearsome two-handed epee can no longer be used, and the threat is greatly reduced.

Li Shuyi stepped on the attack, predicting to avoid Jericho's left fist, the hilt of the sword was reversed, and an elbow slammed into Jericho's chest, causing him to lose his balance.

Just when Jericho was about to fall forward, Li Shuyi added another sliding shovel. At the same time, the stabbing sword delicately hooked his breastplate. empty state.

Chi Chi's voice sounded again, like a windmill spinning at a high speed, a sword is as fast as a sword!

This time, the combo number climbed to 7, and the damage was 24 points, but because of the concentration on one point, Jericho's other arm was still removed.

Not only were the robbers stunned, even Bai Xiaowen, who saw this scene from the perspective of Angry Claw, was inexplicably surprised.

Zhao Yun is very powerful. Bai Xiaowen is clear about this. After Li Shuyi activates "Zhao Yun's Mark", he will definitely explode with considerable strength. Bai Xiaowen also calculated this. According to his expectations, Li Shuyi should be able to cooperate with the robbers to clean up Jericho, the commander of the terror knight, after the outbreak.

However, it seems that there is no need for the robbers to do anything, Li Shuyi alone is enough to kill Jericho - from this, you can see one of the strengths of the lord-level warrior Zhao Yun, which can only be described in two words horror.

Zhao Yun may not be as explosive as Guan Yu, but he is stronger in protracted battles. Possessing exquisite linking skills, the longer Zhao Yun fights, the higher his chances of victory. From this point of view, Li Shuyi's "Wind and Thunder Combo", in which the word "wind", should be on Zhao Yun's body.

At this point, there are still ten seconds before "Zhao Yun's Mark" disappears!

Within ten seconds, Li Shuyi fired another set of combos, severing one of the legs of the Terrible Knight Commander Jericho, causing him to fall to the ground.

Although the duration of "Zhao Yun's Mark" has expired, Jericho at this time has also become a toothless tiger and no longer has any ability to resist.

"Li Shuyi stay and kill Jericho! Everyone else pay attention, take the Wolf King's Anger Claw as the vanguard and kill the western tower! After killing Ma Qi, the undead army will have no commander, and we will win!" Bai Xiaowen said The voice, through spiritual communication, clearly rang in the ears of Li Shuyi, Bonita, Kitts and others.

Kitts was stunned for a while, and then secretly complained: Didn't the lord boss say that March is about to die? Now that one minute is almost up, why does it feel like the lord boss is about to be unable to hold it...

but,

Kitts is a smart man. After the initial stun, he quickly raised the giant sword in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, follow me! Support the lord!"

More than a dozen elite robbers, led by Angry Claws, formed a formation of sharp arrows, followed by a group of ordinary robbers, servants and civilian guards, smashing waves of undead guards and rushing towards the direction of the western tower. .

At this time, Bai Xiaowen had fallen into the siege of the undead guards, and the lord Ma Qi finally distanced himself from him and began to cast spells while breathing heavily.

deterrence!

Bai Xiaowen's deterrent skill finally passed the cooldown time of 4 minutes and 30 seconds. He urged him immediately, not only interrupting Lord March's skills, but also causing other undead guards to fall into a state of fear.

Seizing this opportunity, Bai Xiaowen rushed out of the undead guard's encirclement. However, he was not in a hurry to join the bandit guards, but rushed directly in front of Ma Qi, raising his foot is the same one move (seventy-five changes), kicking Ma Qi in the direction of the angry claws !

Before Ma Qi's figure fell to the ground, the angry claw roared and flew up!

Suppression is on!

And then... no more. During the 3-second suppression time, Ma Qi had to constantly endure the ravages of a group of elite robbers, and Bai Xiaowen who had turned on the burst mode... He was a crispy spellcaster himself, and Bai Xiaowen consumed more than half of his health. , how can you endure so much damage?

"Damn...I...I was promised eternal life..."

March struggled to raise his hand, but could not lower it. This evil lord wizard who opened his territory to the plague spreader and voluntarily turned into a lich, finally died.

After losing three leaders one after another, the undead army of the Red Leaf Collars fought their own way like headless flies. The undead on the periphery of Hongye City even began to flee, spreading to the vast villages of Hongye Ling under the thirst for life.

However, the undead in the periphery are all weak chickens at the servant level, just to find something to do for the robust farmers and adventurers in the village, which is not a problem.

And the elite undead soldiers in the central square have become a mess. Under the unified command of Bai Xiaowen, they were easily divided and surrounded and annihilated one by one.

After wiping out the main force of the undead army, Bai Xiaowen ordered ten guards to spread out and sweep the whole city.

Soon, the prompt message sounded:

"You have controlled more than 75% of Hongye City."

"Please choose: Occupy, Abandon or Destroy Hongye City?"

"Special reminder: You will be questioned by the Empire for attacking Hongye City."

"Abandoning Hongye City will make you subject to general inquiries. As long as you give reasonable reasons and obtain the approval of more than half of the lords of the northern border, you can be exempted from imperial interference."

"Destroying Hongye City will make you subject to important questions. You need to give appropriate reasons and get the understanding of the imperial envoy before you can be exempted from imperial interference."

"Occupying Hongye City will make you severely questioned. Even if you give a suitable reason, you may still be interfered by the empire and force you to leave this territory."

Bai Xiaowen thought for a while.

"These three options are also important. No matter how you attack Hongye City, it will violate the laws of the empire. If you give up Hongye City, you can reduce the crime to a minimum, but there is no benefit. Destroying Hongye City can loot a batch of property. , but the crime is more serious. The final occupation of Hongye City is equivalent to the annexation of another lord's territory by force, which will inevitably lead to the high vigilance of the empire..."

Bai Xiaowen didn't think for long before choosing the "occupy" option.

Imperial envoy? put one's oar in? It doesn't matter, there are people above us!

As for who is above, it depends on the actual situation... Who is more interested in the threat of the "Necro plague"? Whether it is Archbishop Arlo or Prince Nicholas, I believe they are willing to pay a good price for this "heroic side quest".

However, what makes Bai Xiaowen a little puzzled is that W-01 has already been killed, and the undead plague nest of the original Baishi collar has been pulled out, but the heroic side quest step 1 "The truth of the plague" has not been passed on. to complete the prompt.

Bai Xiaowen thought about it carefully, and immediately ordered the robbers under him to grab a few red-leaf-led undead slaves and cast the spell of confusion.

"So it is." After reading the memory fragment of an undead servant, Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes.

He took Li Shuyi and others, turned and walked towards the collapsed lord's mansion, bypassing the ruins of the front hall to the backyard.

In front of a manhole cover with a diameter of one meter, Bai Xiaowen crouched down and twisted the turntable on the manhole cover. With a rumbling sound, the manhole cover was rotated open, revealing a downward staircase.

Bai Xiaowen took Bonita and Li Shuyi to the ground through the staircase.

"Wow! Good, what a big underground palace!"

Bonita showed a look of amazement.

In front of it is an underground hall with many cultivation containers. Walking in and taking a look, you can see that the containers are filled with some light green liquid, soaked in a human-shaped experimental body, all naked.

On the wide experimental bench, there are many instruments, as well as stacks of thick written materials... These are all experimental records. Judging from the date, it has been close to a year as the research site of the necromantic plague.

The spirit world rules prompt message came:

"You found the Necro plague underground research institute in Hongye City."

"[Step 1 of the hero-level side quest: The truth of the plague] completed. Completion evaluation: A (excellent)."

"Please go to Black Rock Fortress, look for Archbishop Arlo or Prince Nicholas, get quest rewards and proceed to the next quest."

Bai Xiaowen's experience gauge has increased significantly, rapidly rising to 94%! You must know that before he attacked Hongye City, his experience gauge was only a little over 60%. This hero-level side quest 1 step (B-level) increased his experience by more than 30%.

Level 3 to level 4 is a threshold, and the required experience value is greatly increased. Many awakened people have to go through several spiritual explorations to complete the level.

It can be seen that the benefits of hero-level tasks are really huge. This is just a reward for combat experience. Three boss-level boss treasure chests, more than a dozen elite treasure chests, and more than 20 ordinary treasure chests are still waiting for Bai Xiaowen to open.

Although the treasure chest was inevitably a little watery because the robbers participated in the attack, the amount was huge, and it was enough to send a sum of power points.

Moreover, when you hand in the task, you will definitely get a lot of money. Thinking about it, you are a little excited.

Li Shuyi's combat experience gauge has also risen to 89%. Due to the difference in combat experience required for leveling up, her leveling speed will definitely catch up with and surpass Bai Xiaowen's.

Bai Xiaowen suddenly thought of something, and he summoned Doctor Zombie again.

"I said, can you not recall me in the future? As a zombie with an independent consciousness and an autonomous personality, I hate the summoning space that can't do anything. It's like confinement." A word is to complain.

"This is for your own good, you probably don't know how tragic the battle is today. The four skeleton swords and shields, the shadow assassins all died, and the bandit army I recruited also killed dozens of people. If you don't recall you. , I'm afraid you have to wait 12 hours for the resurrection time." Bai Xiaowen said.

However, after seeing the surrounding situation clearly, Dr. Zombie has already thrown Bai Xiaowen's words to his ears.

"Wow, what did I see, a perfect underground research institute! Although the equipment here is full of magical styles, the materials are relatively primitive, and there are no sophisticated instruments...but it is enough! This is my research institute. !"

"To be exact, it's mine, at least in terms of property rights," Bai Xiaowen corrected, "However, I generously grant you the right to use it."

Dr. Zombie pouted.

"I think the research on the necromantic plague here should make some progress, right?" Bai Xiaowen pointed to a stack of thick written materials on the experimental bench, "I just checked it, and all the experimental records are there. "

Dr. Zombie got excited again and began to look at the experimental data.

"Well, it turns out that the purpose of this institute is to improve the undead plague virus and make it more contagious," said Dr. Zombie, "and further research into the undead race after infection and mutation... ...My dear, the previous owner of the research institute actually wanted to create a giant infected body, the scientific name is ... abscess giant? What a genius idea..."

"This institute is simply a sinful concentration camp!" said Bernita angrily, she rarely stuttered, "should report to the archbishop and use the holy fire to purify this place!"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Stupid. The purpose of exploring the darkness is to defend the light. Every page of paper here is valuable enemy intelligence, and only a fool will burn it down. Only by understanding the secret of the necromantic plague can Make an antidote to rescue those humans who have the plague virus lurking in their bodies but have not yet erupted."

Bonita's momentum was stagnant: "Well, then you are right. I'm not stupid. I... I'm just angry."

Bai Xiaowen looked at Dr. Zombie: "How about it? How long does it take to make an antidote to the necromantic plague?"

Dr. Zombie thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. Even if I am a super-class... polymath, it will take at least three days to finish reading these experimental reports and grasp their progress, and then I can start. Making an antidote is even more likely, as short as a week, as long as it may be delayed for a month or two without results.”

"It's too slow. You are a zombie now, and you don't need to rest. Make an antidote within five days. This is my second order this month," Bai Xiaowen said. "If you can do it, then the first Three orders can be dispensed with."

"Cut..." Dr. Zombie curled his lips and whispered, "So, I hate all laymen, layman bosses, layman bureaucrats, layman investors..."

"Huh? What?" Bai Xiaowen looked up.

"It's nothing, I'm... trying to complete this task," said Dr. Zombie, and began to drive people. "Any other instructions? If not, I'm going to start work. By the way, remember to bring more experimental samples. ."

"Sample?" Bai Xiaowen was slightly startled.

"It's just human samples," Dr. Zombie said lightly, "from just infected human samples, to three-day-infected samples, seven-day-old samples, and samples that are on the verge of mutation... Only with sufficient samples can I grasp it as soon as possible. The characteristics of the plague of necromancers."

"How can I identify it?" Bai Xiaowen said.

"Isn't it enough to pass the Holy Light Plague Detector?" Dr. Zombie said, "The brightness of the green light seems to be different when the virus is dormant for different times. If you find it troublesome, bring me a healthy sample. I temporarily infected them, and increasing the dose can also have the effect of observing and contrasting..."

"Enough, I will catch enough samples for you. Without my order, you are forbidden to experiment with healthy humans." Bai Xiaowen warned.

Bonita's look at Dr. Zombie has changed from looking at a bunch of flying to a lot of flying...

She muttered, "I don't want to stay here." She hurriedly left the underground research institute.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi did not leave. After Dr. Zombie started to get busy, the two took out the treasure box and planned to have a happy treasure box opening event to relax their tired spirit.
