Chapter 617: Vampire Lord (Two in One)
It is worth mentioning that the monsters in this mausoleum have a very high proportion of elite templates. In terms of the wave of Bone Race monsters just now, elite creatures accounted for more than one-third of them, while the normal Northern Territory In the battlefield environment, this ratio is only one-fifth or even one-tenth.
No matter how the overall level of Aaron's plane world improves, the most numerous are still low-level miscellaneous soldiers, and the elites are only a minority.
Therefore, elites accounted for about half of the 600 surprise attack troops sent by Ursoc, and they were indeed all the elite forces that the rebels could temporarily mobilize.
Of course, as a "hidden copy" of the Aaron world, the Mausoleum is about as difficult as the "Snake Dungeon" on the ancient Egyptian plane and the "Hidden Shadow Labyrinth" on the Kuroshio plane. It is also reasonable that the proportion of elite templates is relatively high. middle.
According to Bai Xiaowen's speculation, it is only the first floor of the underground mausoleum, and when it gets deeper, all elite monsters are possible.
Elite creatures are certainly more difficult to fight than ordinary templates, but for the army of undead summons who are tireless but have bonuses, it is nothing more than spending a little more time. The lost health and mental power will be lost in the process of exploring the map on the road Fast recovery, faster than Bai Xiaowen recovering the summoned object in a truce state.
But the benefits brought by elite creatures are incomparable to ordinary creatures.
Not to mention the occasional silver treasure chest, not to mention the rapidly increasing combat experience, but the rapidly accumulated soul essence alone made Bai Xiaowen happy.
During the advancement, Bai Xiaowen also encountered some undead monsters that had never appeared in the Black Soul Stone.
For example, the pustules-covered creature of the Corpse Monster tribe, the "bubble poisonous monster", attacks by spitting out stench spheres, which will explode into a puddle after death. The poisonous gas only lasted for a few seconds, but it was too stinky. It caused a serious psychological shadow to Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi.
Another example is the soul creature "Howling Banshee", with a porcupine-style hairstyle full of withered grass, and a wrinkled face like an old lady. She is good at screaming and howling with a frightening broken voice, attacking the enemy from the spiritual level... …
In addition, there is a kind of undead bone monster called "skeleton structure". It looks like a melee tank monster, but it is long-range, good at firing bone needles for penetrating attacks...
After seeing these strange monsters, Bai Xiaowen secretly rejoiced that they were not included in the enhancement options in the Black Soul Stone... Even if they appeared, Bai Xiaowen didn't want them, either the smell was too strong, or the appearance was too low, both of which were flawed.
The architectural structure of the mausoleum is similar to a beehive. After advancing to the middle, the rooms are basically hexagonal, and there are very few square rooms.
Each room has six portals, which are connected to six adjacent rooms.
The honeycomb structure is a type of maze structure, which is more disorienting than the boxy room structure. If there are enough rooms, and the intruder does not have a precise and clear memory, it is likely to be misled to go around in circles, resulting in the effect of ghosts hitting the wall.
After entering the middle stage, basically every few rooms will encounter a wave of monsters.
"We're almost at the end."
After the ninth wave of monsters was wiped out, Bai Xiaowen slightly pressed the center of his brows and withdrew his mental power:
"According to the results of my mental scan, two rooms ahead, you will reach the mountain wall."
"That is to say, we have already walked from the entrance of the mausoleum to the edge area directly opposite," Li Shuyi understood quickly. "Have you found any steps or stairs that allow us to go to the second floor?"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "No. Next, we need to change direction and move laterally along the edge. The staircase entrance on the second floor of the mausoleum,
It should be in a room on the edge of the lot. "
This is another time when Bai Xiaowen has accumulated experience in playing various maze break-through games, and his representative work is "Diablo".
After passing through a few more rooms, after Bai Xiaowen's mental power detection, he said happily: "I found the entrance to the second floor."
Suddenly Bai Xiaowen's eyes froze. He saw that on the surface of the doom bracelet, the face that had always been calm had switched to a serious face.
"careful."
Bai Xiaowen had a warning sign in his heart, and his serious face represented a moderate threat, which could be life-threatening if he was not careful.
Bai Xiaowen restrained his mental power, and while carefully examining the surroundings, he said, "Come out, if you are a strong person, there is no need to hide."
Li Shuyi looked at Bai Xiaowen, a little dazed.
"Jie Jie..."
A gloomy sound sounded, and from the ceiling of the room, a gust of black wind blew, it turned out to be a group of bats.
The bat quickly condensed into a human form. It was a man with sunken eyes and pale complexion. He was wearing an aristocratic dress, which was somewhat similar to Kits' clothes but more luxurious. Moreover, the temperament of the pale man in front of him was even higher than that of the rough Kites. I don't know how many floors.
"Can actually find me in bat form, the two little guys have some skills."
The pale man was careless as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I'm overwhelmed, who are you?" Bai Xiaowen threw out his insight while talking nonsense.
The pale man said with some pride: "You can call me...Master Marcus."
This is when the insight bears fruit.
"Is this the template after Kitz advanced to the leader..."
Bai Xiaowen was shocked. Compared with ordinary vampires, the vampire king is completely enhanced!
Compared with Kitts' skills, the negative effects are halved, but the positive effects are not discounted at all. It also ignores the vitals and is immune to bleeding.
Compared with Kitz's, it has an additional bat swarm active attack skill, which is also quite good. Cooperate, when the bat swarm attacks, it will also suck blood to restore life to itself!
Bai Xiaowen would like to ask, can a leader like the vampire lord buy Bilian... The first three upgraded skills are already quite stupid, and there is also a permanent control transformation skill at the end.
Fortunately, the transformation of blood slaves only takes effect on living bodies, and Bai Xiaowen's army of undead summons will not be affected.
It's just that Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, the two living beings, need to be extremely careful.
According to Bai Xiaowen's information, it is actually not uncommon for awakened people to be controlled by spirit world creatures to become slaves.
Once they become slaves of creatures in the spirit world and lose the consciousness of autonomous action, the awakened person will completely lose the ability to enter and exit the spirit world, storage space, previous memories... all sealed, and can only exist as a human being in the spirit world. Plane reincarnation...
This is definitely a disgrace to the awakened.
"Be careful. If you are caught by his blood slave transformation, you must use the scroll before your consciousness disappears." Bai Xiaowen sent the skills of the vampire lord Marcus to Li Shuyi to share, and instructed through the team channel.
Li Shuyi nodded heavily, the thought of becoming a servant of a vampire in the spirit world made one shudder.
Perhaps seeing the guarded posture of Bai Xiaowen and the other two, the vampire lord Marcus showed an unpredictable smile.
"Little human, don't be so scared. I'm different from those derivatives without intelligence..."
Marcus tapped his head lightly with his sharp nails, "I have lived for more than three hundred years, and my intelligence is much higher than that of most human beings. If it is not necessary, a highly intelligent creature is not Will make enemies at will."
"More than three hundred years? Your lifespan is longer than the history of the Lionheart Empire?" Bai Xiaowen's eyes revealed a trace of just-right suspicion.
Li Shuyi's heart is clear, the scene in front of her is too familiar, and Bai Xiaowen has entered the fooling mode.
Bai Xiaowen actually wanted to get some information about the mausoleum through this strong man in the spirit world who was suspected of guiding NPCs. What is so difficult about this dungeon with s elite difficulty? As long as some useful information can be obtained, some delay is acceptable.
Marcus smiled proudly: "Of course, the human kingdom is just a moment to me, and I am immortal."
"Then why are you here? Also, are the derivatives you're talking about... the undead that attacked us? How did they appear?"
"It's a long story." The vampire lord Marcus said with a shrug, "It's a very uninspiring story."
"It's okay, Mr. Marcus, I'm very patient." Bai Xiaowen followed.
Marcus coughed: "It all started with the fall of 'Death God Naraku' four hundred years ago..."
Suddenly, Marcus' face changed, and he said loudly, "Be careful behind you!"
Bai Xiaowen instinctively turned around to look, but Marcus' pale and thin face had a sinister smile, and the whole person flew in front of Bai Xiaowen like a phantom, and his sharp nails grabbed Bai Xiaowen's neck!
This blow was so fast that Li Shuyi, who was close at hand, didn't even react!
However, before Bai Xiaowen turned his head back, the spell was brewing in his palm, and finally turned into a yellow light!
Marcus flew over, and he was supposed to be killed in one blow, but he was hit by this spell of confusion. It looked like he had bumped into Bai Xiaowen's charm.
Bai Xiaowen's figure drifted away and then withdrew, and a word burst out of his mouth:
"hit!"
Li Shuyi drew out her two swords, threw herself behind the vampire lord Marcus, and slashed across. At the same time, other summoned creatures also swarmed up, kitchen knives and scimitars flew together, and wands and scepters danced together.
However, these attacks fell on Marcus, and the damage value was appallingly low. Marcus's race was passive, and the damage reduction effect of the advanced cursed body was too strong.
Only the bone magician's lightning strike technique caused extra damage to Marcus. When a thunderbolt fell, Marcus's body surface was billowed with green smoke, and he couldn't help but groaned.
This round of onslaught, including the extra damage from the Skeletal Sorcerer's evil slayer, is only a little over 100 points of health that can barely defeat Marcus.
Marcus changed his shape, flashed like a ghost, passed through the gap of the summoned creature, and appeared ten meters away. In his deep-set eye sockets, there was a hint of surprise in his slightly scarlet eyes: "How do you know that I'm going to attack you?"
Bai Xiaowen's talisman needs a spell-casting action to activate, and when he turned his back to Marcus at that time, he was able to hit it without haste, which must have been prepared in advance.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and didn't answer. In fact, he was relying on the shared vision of summoned creatures.
And from the very beginning, Bai Xiaowen never let down his vigilance. The appearance of Marcus made the threat value of the bracelet of doom become moderate! There have been no misjudgments in the bracelet of doom so far.
"Be careful," Bai Xiaowen warned Li Shuyi again in the team channel, "This guy should have the highest agility among all the monsters we have encountered... This is the first time I have seen that he can besieged from summoned creatures with speed alone. The guy who escaped in the gap."
Marcus's panel agility is 80, but don't forget that he has the terrible skill "Night Demon Form"! In a non-sunlight environment, all attributes increase by 20%, and agility soars to 96 points!
The agility and agility of Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures were all severely suppressed by Marcus.
Seeing that Bai Xiaowen did not respond, Marcus sneered and said, "Well, your good luck is only this time." With a turn of his figure, he soared into the sky like a top, flying on the walls and ceiling of the tomb. Pedal and jump like a shadow.
Although there are many people on Bai Xiaowen's side, it looks like Marcus surrounded them all by himself. Unable to keep up with the opponent's speed, Bai Xiaowen could only order the summoned creatures to surround him and Li Shuyi in the center for protection.
laugh! With the sound of the wind, Marcus catapulted down from the dome of the ceiling, and his sharp nails grabbed Bai Xiaowen's sky cap.
