Chapter 507: The Oriole Appears

While we were still guessing what the humanoid creature was, the creature over there did something that almost made us spit out our overnight meal. I saw that the creature that looked like a woman did not care about the players around it, but suddenly lowered its head and bit the neck of the Korean player below it, and then directly tore off a large piece of bloody flesh in its mouth. I chewed it with great enjoyment. Seeing the blood constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth and the expression of enjoyment on his face, the Korean players around him were almost scared to death. Even the Japanese and Russian players stepped back in surprise.

Monsters eat people. This seems to be a normal thing in various types of fantasy works. After all, are they monsters? How can the horror of monsters be reflected if they don't eat people? However, what many people don’t know is that monsters eat people. In fact, the more terrifying thing is that people cannibalize people, and it is not the kind of forced cannibalism, but as if they enjoy half of the tasting and chewing. At that moment, people who see this situation will feel a numb feeling starting from the tailbone and extending to the bottom of the scalp. It feels like falling into an ice cellar and the whole body is shaking unconsciously.

With such a terrifying scene, it’s no wonder that the system suddenly used that method to indicate whether we want to turn on the realism adjustment. This was the original purpose. Although there are many monsters in the game, in fact most of them only attack people and do not eat people. Even the monsters that can eat people mostly will not directly bite them in front of other players, or they will just swallow them in one bite. Well, I'll chew it twice in front of you at most. Anyway, I won't let you see this kind of flesh and blood flying around and the internal organs being thrown around. Thanks to the adults here. If the children don't get frightened when they see it, they will have a psychological disorder.

"Isn't this too cruel?"

After being stunned for a long time, Christina finally recovered and muttered. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Zhenhong say in an excited voice: "This is so enjoyable, so cool! Let's get a living one back soon, okay?"

"Do you like this thing?" Jin Coin looked at Zhenhong in surprise and asked.

Zhenhong shook his head and said: "It's not that I like it, but it's useful! If this thing is brought back to Essinger and locked up, if there is any torture in the future, it can be used to scare people. Generally speaking, people with poor mental endurance will definitely It can scare people to the point of peeing. By then, won’t we be able to know everything we want to ask?”

"The method is good, but isn't it a bit too cruel?" Jin Coin said uncertainly.

Christina also immediately followed: "It's so inhumane! This kind of thing must not be kept."

"Everyone, please be quiet. I don't want to attract the things over there so early and let them finish playing with those Korean players before we join."

In fact, the monster has not attacked other Korean players so far, because her behavior is completely different from ordinary monsters. Even if the monsters in the game are those that eat people, their purpose of eating people is not to fill their stomachs, but purely to scare the enemy. It's considered an intimidation tactic. Instead of eating rows. After all, "Zero" is just a game. Monsters and other things are set up to accompany players, so all their attributes are designed to fight with players. Things like eating that have nothing to do with players are of course not that big. It's necessary.

but. The monster in front of me looks very human, but it seems to be a simple beast. Her purpose in attacking the Korean player seemed to be purely to prey on him. Because after killing the player, she just threatened the surrounding people in a demonstrative manner, and then she couldn't wait to start biting and eating the Korean player on the ground. What's even more terrifying is that the Korean player is actually still here. Not dead yet. Although the blood vessel in the neck seemed to be the aorta, the blood flowed all over the place and refused to die. I don't know if it was because the blood volume was too high.

It was only after the humanoid monster gnawed the Korean player alive for nearly thirty seconds that the surrounding Korean players reacted and tried to save him, but at this time the Korean player was actually completely dead. After all, aortic bleeding is no joke. Besides, the woman-like monster eats at a terrifying speed. In such a short period of time, the Korean player's abdomen was completely empty. The monster obviously eats in a certain order. The first thing to be attacked is the internal organs. Now this guy's abdominal cavity is almost empty, and almost all the intestines and internal organs have entered the monster's belly, but the strange thing is that The monster looked like a small woman, but after eating all the internal organs of an adult, her abdomen didn't feel bulging at all.

The surrounding Korean players who reacted rushed forward to attack the monster, but the monster bared its teeth at the player who rushed the fastest, revealing two rows of teeth full of blood, and then let out a scream from its mouth. A very strange, snake-like sound.

Although I don’t know the specific meaning of this sound and movement, the meaning of warning others not to approach is clearly conveyed. Of course, the player who rushed the fastest did not show any hesitation. Unfortunately, his will did not bring any indication of combat effectiveness. The monster on all fours suddenly suddenly jumped when the opponent rushed three meters away. He jumped out from the corpse, instantly knocked down the fastest player, and then gave him a bite on the neck. In an instant, this guy followed the footsteps of the player in front and fell to the ground and began to tremble, while the monster But he suddenly gave up on this player, jumped up and knocked down another player next to him, then continued to bite the carotid artery again, and then replaced him with the next one.

We can see very clearly in the peripheral area that this monster's fighting method is very simple, which is to pounce, jump, and pounce. We have never seen any other attack methods in the back and forth, and her final trick is to bite the throat. Not only can it tear off the trachea, but it can also bite off the carotid artery. As long as it hits the target, the opponent will be hopeless.

Although the attack method is very monotonous, the monster's attack speed is astonishingly fast. There are obviously so many Korean players here, but they can't stop this monster. Several were knocked down in the blink of an eye. What's even worse is that this thing moved at an alarming speed, rising and falling among the crowd and constantly changing positions. Even if there were long-range attackers among the Korean players, they couldn't help at all. I was busy, and later there was even an accidental injury. An archer actually missed the target with an arrow and nailed the sole of one of his own personnel to the ground. This kind of mistake, which is impossible in normal times, is now happening frequently under the influence of this monster. As the situation gets out of control, these Korean players are even less able to display their combat effectiveness.

As the monster jumped around in the crowd, some of the Korean players unconsciously retreated to the entrance of the hole they had dug before. At this moment. However, several more black shadows suddenly jumped out from the entrance of the cave. In an instant, he pounced on several people again.

The new monster has almost the same appearance as the previous one, both have no clothes, are covered in mud, and are all women. And disheveled.

There are three new monsters added to this group. Including the previous one, there were a total of four monsters running around the field. However, Korean players and their two allies are helpless against these monsters. Most of them will be killed immediately as soon as they jump to them. Even if there are those who can last for a short period of time, it will not take long.

Because there is complete inequality in strength. The battle soon caused a large group of Korean players to fall into a pool of blood, and in fact this place did become a pool of blood. This room is low in the middle and high around, so the blood cannot flow out, so naturally you can only look at the center of the room to gather. In addition, those monsters like to bite the carotid arteries, so naturally the place will be covered with blood very quickly.

This blood has caused a lot of trouble for Korean players in combat. The main reason is that the blood on the ground is too slippery. Many people find that they are completely unable to maintain their balance and cannot use their full strength during combat.

In this almost one-sided massacre, many Korean players died soon. However, instead of ending immediately, the battle fell into a stalemate.

Apart from bad luck, the biggest thing the players who were killed first had in common was that they were all ordinary players, that is, ordinary players with average combat capabilities. Although the masters cannot exert their full strength in this chaotic environment and cannot kill those monsters, they can at least ensure their own safety. Therefore, the first ones who die are all the soldiers, and the ones who remain in the end are all elites. . Of course, the number of elites cannot be large, otherwise they would not be called elites. There are only eight players left in this group of players, including one Russian player, two Japanese players, and five Korean players.

Compared with the initial large group of people, although the number of eight people was much smaller, their combat effectiveness increased. Without the constraints of their own people, these advanced players can confidently and boldly release their combat power without worrying about accidental injuries. Moreover, the eight people under him now are all masters, so they can cooperate with each other, and they can use their respective abilities better than before. Therefore, although there are fewer people, the combat effectiveness of these people is Instead, it became higher.

Eight people deal with four monsters, which means that the players are two against one. They should still have a slight advantage, but because the monsters have higher individual combat effectiveness, it is completely a matter of who is better overall. It’s unknown.

Both sides probably knew about this situation, so it ended up being a confrontation without a direct fight. This situation is not a good thing for those of us who are watching the fun, so Zhenhong couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "A group of people are standing there with big eyes and small eyes waiting for a blind date? Hurry up and fight!"

Jin Coin also said: "That's right. Those people are really stupid. They can't escape a battle anyway. It's better to take advantage of the fact that those monsters are a little tired and kill them quickly. If they wait for those monsters to recover, they will die." Even if my companion died in vain.”

As if he heard the sound of gold coins, one of the eight players over there, a Korean player, suddenly took action.

Perhaps due to poor communication, when the Korean player rushed out, the other players here were unable to follow him for a while. Fortunately, these people were not slow to react and soon realized that someone rushed out first, so He rushed out without hesitation.

As soon as the eight players moved here, the four monsters on the other side also immediately moved, and the crowds on both sides fought together again.

Those monsters still exerted their super jumping ability and started jumping several meters away. Then they knocked down the players here one by one, but because they were using two-person formations, those monsters were forced back by the players here before they could take a bite.

After the monsters were temporarily forced back, the players on the ground immediately jumped up and started to fight back. However, the monsters started running in a roundabout way, and then made sneak attacks from time to time. Although most of the time they were rescued by people near the opponent, this time In this constant interlacing, there will always be times when we miss. The players' concentration was obviously not as good as the monsters, so one player was quickly killed because the people around her didn't save her in time.

Eight people became seven people. The player's combat effectiveness dropped again, but one of the Japanese players in the team suddenly shouted to the people around him: "Help me protect the law."

These people obviously knew each other well. So they surrounded the Japanese player without any hesitation. But I know very well what this guy is going to do next.

The protected player is an Onmyoji, which is a profession similar to the Necromancer, but the Necromancer uses magic, while the Onmyoji uses something called mana. The energy properties of the two are different. But the effect is almost the same.

The intelligence of those monsters does not seem to be low. Know how to use tactics. But their knowledge was obviously very poor. They didn't know what the onmyoji was doing, but they continued to sneak attack on these players.

If these monsters knew what this Onmyoji was doing. I think they will forcefully attack the defensive circle as soon as possible, and then force the onmyoji inside to terminate his spells. But unfortunately, they don't know what the onmyoji is doing, so they don't change their strategy and instead recognize each other. Without an individual, the defense becomes even more empty.

The onmyoji prepared the spell very quickly, and it only took more than ten seconds to complete. After that, the onmyoji suddenly said the concluding words, and then a blue halo of light burst suddenly. This aperture spread very quickly, and its area was not small. In the end, it actually spread all the way through our location, making us think we were being exposed. But it's not bad. This skill actually doesn't have any detection capabilities, and it's not an attack spell, so we weren't discovered.

When the halo spread, the monsters were startled and jumped back to avoid the halo. But just like us, the halo spread too fast, so they had no time to dodge. All four monsters were The aperture was swept, but it failed to trigger any effects.

The four monsters were obviously stunned by this situation, and then rushed back excitedly as if they suddenly discovered that the enemy was actually a paper tiger. However, what they didn't expect was that just when they rushed back and didn't have time to attack again, a corpse next to them suddenly twitched.

The monster had a certain level of intelligence. Although they did not understand many things due to their knowledge, they at least knew that dead people should not move. However, just as they passed by, the corpse started to move and twitched very violently.

This corpse-like phenomenon startled the four monsters, but soon they found that the corpses nearby began to move. The corpses of the Korean players who had just been killed by these monsters actually sat up from the ground, and then these guys began to stand up stiffly from the ground. This change is not surprising to us. Necromancer control is one of the necessary skills for necromancers, and our Frost Rose Alliance is almost the guild with the largest number of necromancers in the world, so this ability is not uncommon. .

Of course, just because we're not weird doesn't mean those monsters aren't weird. These monsters obviously didn't understand how the corpse came to life, so they were a little confused. However, precisely because their knowledge is relatively narrow, they are not afraid of corpses. Rather, because they are cannibals, to them it is just some moving food.

After a brief daze, the four monsters immediately pounced on the nearby corpse, but immediately pushed the nearest corpse to the ground and began to bite at its neck. They still used the same fighting method as before, which was to bite the trachea, but the corpse obviously did not need to breathe, so it would be useless even if the neck was bitten off completely. The corpse controlled by the Onmyoji is actually somewhat different from the corpse controlled by the Necromancer.

The corpse controlled by the necromancer should be regarded as a zombie, and the zombie's head is a very important organ. Once cut off, it will stop moving immediately. However, these corpses resurrected by onmyoji were like string puppets. Even if their necks were bitten off and their heads fell off, the corpses continued to fight without any reaction. It was precisely because of this strange feature that the monsters were finally injured for the first time after coming out of the cave.

After being attacked, those corpses would not struggle like living people trying to resist the opponent's attack. Instead, they would directly use their own weapons to fight back, completely ignoring that their necks were being chewed on. Because they did not expect that the opponent could fight back in this situation, all four monsters were injured. However, this can never happen again. These monsters have brains after all. They are not stupid. It’s just that I didn’t know the condition of these corpses before. After discovering that these things would not lose their ability to resist when attacked, they immediately changed their strategy. Now they would only take one bite on the corpse each time, and then immediately give up the attack and run away from the opponent to look for a second chance to strike.

This tactic indeed allows these monsters to temporarily escape the possibility of being harmed, but the attack speed is also significantly reduced. Compared to living people who would lose their combat effectiveness as soon as they were bitten, these corpses had poor combat effectiveness despite their slow movement. But it takes several attacks to knock one down. Therefore, the attack speed of those monsters is much slower. And they slowed down. The Korean players here, the remaining Russian players, and the Japanese players all got a chance to breathe. Moreover, because those monsters did not have a good way to deal with these corpses, they not only had no way to quickly deal with these corpses. He was actually surrounded by counterattacks.

Looking at the four monsters that were gradually suppressed in a circle, Christina couldn't help but said: "The fighting consciousness of these things is too weak."

"It's not a problem of combat consciousness." Radamance said next to him: "It should be a problem of combat experience. These things have been very keen on grasping the timing in previous battles, so it cannot be a problem of combat consciousness. It should be because I don’t understand the fighting methods of these corpses at all, which is why I am in this situation.”

"Is that so?" Christina sighed.

Jin Coin asked on the other side: "If this continues, won't those monsters be killed?"

Hong Yan whispered: "If necessary, just let me take action. The problem can be solved in one go."

"Don't take action yet." I signaled Hongyan to calm down, then turned to Radamance and asked, "You should be able to interfere with necromancy, right?"

Radamance immediately understood what I meant, but still said: "Theoretically, it can interfere, but the guy over there uses onmyoji, and I don't know much about it. I don't know if my ability can block him. The manipulation of those corpses.”

"If you won't be discovered, just try."

Radamance nodded and said: "It will definitely not be discovered. Then you wait, I will give it a try."

As one of the three giants under Hades, Radamance was responsible for the interrogation and screening of souls, and he had a lot to do with dealing with undead creatures. Although these resurrected corpses are not the same as the zombies summoned by the necromancer, many things in "Zero" are actually common. It is like the Western underworld and the Chinese underworld in this game are actually the same place, but The two are located on two continents on the same planet, separated by the Sea of ​​Silence, so they can only communicate with each other through the human world.

According to this theory, theoretically speaking, since Radamance's ability is effective on undead, it is most likely also effective on corpses controlled by onmyoji. Of course, the effect may change to a certain extent.

Radamance is a protoss and a man who has experienced hundreds of battles. His casting speed is extremely fast. Ji did not see any delay. Radamance completed his calligraphy directly, and on his side After the action was completed, no light and shadow phenomena were seen. The corpses over there suddenly fell down with a crash like robots that had collectively lost power.

The Onmyoji over there was having a great time, when suddenly he felt his head go numb, and then the corpses he controlled went on strike. Although this time it didn't hurt him much, without these corpses, they couldn't defeat those monsters! The so-called one thing brings down another thing. Letting the remaining seven of them deal with these corpses can be done quickly, but the monsters cannot defeat these corpses, but the monsters have an absolute advantage over them. It can be said that they can defeat each one. Now without the protection of these corpses, these people can't deal with these corpses.

The players who came to return the favor and thought they had the upper hand suddenly found that all the corpses had been dumped. They immediately looked at the Onmyoji next to them in surprise. When they saw that the other party was sweating profusely, they immediately realized it. There is something wrong with the other party's operation. They were all high-level players. Needless to say, those people quickly gathered together to form a line of defense. Then one of them shouted to the Onmyoji: "Quick, no matter what happened just now, quickly find a way to rehabilitate these corpses." stand up!"

"Oh, I'll try my best!" You, an Onmyoji, also reacted at this time, and quickly got up and started to cast the spell again. The previous players felt quite lucky at this time. Because those monsters did not rush up immediately, but were fiddling with the corpses in front of them, apparently wondering why these enemies suddenly stopped moving again.

Although these monsters did not react for a while, this time would certainly not be too long. The guys on the opposite side could only pray that the onmyoji behind them could get the corpses to stand up again before these monsters could react.

That Onmyoji cast a spell very quickly for the first time. It's similar this time. It's just... "Huh? What could happen?" The onmyoji who was casting a spell suddenly shouted. This not only shocked the people in front of him, but what was even worse was that it actually knocked the monster over there. The eyes were attracted.

People here didn't have time to ask what was going on. They could only quickly prepare to meet the enemy, but the onmyoji behind him told himself about the trouble he encountered.

"Damn it, what's going on? Why are all those people's souls dissipated?"

"What's going on with you kid? If you can't control the body, don't yell. You've attracted the monster!" The Russian player in front yelled angrily, but his voice made the monster over there turn around completely. Walked towards them.

Seeing the reaction there, Christina curiously asked Radamance: "What did you do just now?"

Radamance said with a smile: "I dispersed the spirit in the corpse."

"Spirit child?" Christina is not a magician. She specializes in plasticity, which is a professional artillery. She has not done much research on necromancy.

Radhamans explained: "Spirit is a substance found in all living things. It has a very small amount in the body, but its role is very critical. The reason why the human soul can control the body is because of the existence of this spirit." . Spirits are matter, but they can be manipulated by energy. Your souls use this method to control the body. However, if a person dies, the soul will leave the body. At this time, the necromancer can rely on direct control. These spirit sons resurrected the corpses to form zombies. Although I didn’t know what method the Onmyoji used, it should be inseparable from the spirit sons, so I directly used my divine power to disperse all the spirit sons in the corpses. This way even if they want to control, they have nowhere to start.”

Radamance's words gave us a rough idea of ​​why the other party could no longer control those corpses. And just as we explained this principle for a short while, the monsters over there had already killed several players over there. Killed more than half. When our eyes moved to them again, there were only two people standing there.

One of these two players is the Onmyoji. Although his previous performance was not good, he was not a melee combatant after all, so the people in the team still protected him at the back, so he became a person who died after death. . As for the other player who survived, he was a Korean player.

This man seems to be the leader of this team. He looks very handsome, almost like a super pretty boy, but his fighting ability is indeed not low, otherwise he wouldn't have lasted until the end. However, even if his strength is good, he can only fight one-on-one with those monsters. When it comes to four-on-two, and there is a useless Onmyoji next to him, this situation is obviously complete. Hopeless.

When I saw the four monsters starting to surround us, I already sent a signal to Christina and the others, because we couldn't wait any longer.

We didn't come here to watch these people being slaughtered. Our goal is that pretty boy. This guy was the leader of the previous Korean players, and he was the one who took out the crystal that sealed Pandora's divine power. Therefore, we must ensure that this guy cannot die. Otherwise, who would we ask? As for watching them fight and ignoring them before, that was because we wanted them to fight the monsters and both sides would suffer, so that we could reap the benefits. It's a pity that these guys are so disappointing. So many people died without even killing a single monster.

Regardless of whether these people are powerful or not, we have to take action now. Just when the four monsters over there jumped up and were about to attack the pretty boy, that guy actually did something very shameless. He actually grabbed the onmyoji next to him and threw him up, then turned around and ran towards the big hole behind him. Although the cave is the lair of these monsters, now he has nowhere else to go but there. As for throwing out the Onmyoji... that was completely a cover. After all, monsters are usually more sensitive to moving objects. If a person flies towards them, the monster will attack that person first.

Although this kind of professional selling of teammates is very shameless. But I have to say that sometimes it is very useful. But today he was a bad guy for nothing.

Just when the onmyoji was thrown out and he was certain to die. Suddenly, two red lights flew from behind a pile of rocks on the side of the entrance where they had just entered. Only two puffs were heard. Two of the monsters were directly knocked away in the air. As for the other two monsters, It was as if he had hit an invisible wall and his face was flattened. Then the wall seemed to suddenly disappear again. The two monsters just fell straight to the ground.

The onmyoji was too surprised to notice that he was about to hit the ground. As a result, he had a close contact with the ground without being prepared. Fortunately, the pretty boy didn't throw him with much force, so he didn't fall hard.

The pretty boy on the other side had already rushed to the entrance of the cave when we took action. Then he jumped down with a whoosh. Because he had already made up his mind, this guy didn't care about what was happening behind him during the whole process. The whole action was done in one go and at a very fast speed. However, just a second after he successfully entered the cave, a figure suddenly rushed to the entrance of the cave and jumped down.

"Catch it."

Following my shout, a dragon tendon rope shot up from below the hole. A flying sword accurately passed through the top of the dragon tendon rope and was entangled by it, and then nailed the rope head into the ground on the side. , and I flew down dragging a rope, caught up with the pretty boy who jumped into the pit halfway, and pinched the back of his neck. I followed the dragon rope and braked instantly, stopping our bodies. Immediately after that, we started to take up the line in the opposite direction and hoisted both of us up.

The pretty boy thought he was safe by jumping down, but he could still be pulled back after everyone else had fallen down. Although he wanted to struggle, I pinched the back of his neck and he was hung in the air again. I couldn't use any strength, so I had no choice but to pull him out of the cave.

After arriving near the hole, I didn't wait for the guy to find a chance to resist, and threw him out of the hole with my right hand. Radamance and True Red above caught the guy from left to right and pushed him to the ground. Although the guy was still struggling desperately, he was suppressed by True Red and Radamance and couldn't move at all.

"Don't bother. Either one of the two behind you is dozens of times stronger. If they catch you, you can't even hope to break free even if you use all your strength." I said while speaking from below. He jumped out of the hole, then retracted the rope and looked at the pretty boy who was pinned to the ground and asked: "Were you the one who hurt me before?"

"So that protoss is one of yours!" This guy also just found out that the protoss he had severely damaged before was a member of our Frost Rose Alliance. Guild Gods are different from players. Players can see each other's name and guild affiliation when fighting with each other. However, Pandora is a member of the Chaos and Order Gods, and according to normal rules, the Guild Gods should be the superiors of the guild organization. Organization, it’s just that the management of our guild is reversed, but the system still defaults that the guild god clan is higher than the guild level, so the guild god clan will not show the indication of the guild it belongs to during the battle. Instead, it should be that a certain guild belongs to This is the right thing for a certain protoss to do.

Because there was no warning, this guy didn't know that the Pandora he attacked before was actually from our Frost Rose Alliance. But he knows me and knows who I am. Now that I ask again, he naturally understands that the protoss from before is one of ours.

"You know who hurt our Frost Rose Alliance, you should know the consequences, right?" I looked at the guy on the ground and asked with a smile, but the guy's smile when he looked at me made my heart palpitate. (To be continued...)
