Chapter 7 Finally Saw a Living Person
"Boss, it's an emergency!" I had just discovered that those things were indestructible, but to my surprise, Christina shouted again.
"What's the matter?"
Christina said nervously: "My attribute values are declining!"
"what happened?"
"I don't know, but it may have something to do with those things. As long as I attack them, my attributes will drop very quickly!"
Jin Coin said from the side: "You have killed the most, and you must be the most affected."
I turned around and looked at Zhenhong and asked, "Are you okay?"
"No, I didn't kill a few in total!"
"Me too!" Jin Coin followed.
I thought for a moment and said: "Don't worry about it for now, summon the mounts, everyone concentrates on rushing out."
"clear."
As soon as my order was given, three creatures immediately appeared around us. My mount is of course Yeying. In this melee situation, Yeying's ability is really outstanding.
The mount of the gold coin is her magic pet, the snow-white sky fox, an all-round transformable magic pet. It needs output and assistance, and there is almost nothing that it is not good at. The key is that it can also be used as a mount. It is useful, and it is very beautiful after transforming into a human form, but the gold coin is a girl, so in the end this is of little use.
Zhen Hong did not summon the dragon this time, but what came out was not an ordinary thing, but a unicorn that was two times larger than Ye Ying.
This unicorn inherited the golden style of the true red man. Anyway, as long as the true red things are basically golden. Not to mention her equipment. The Zhenwu suit is basically similar to the Chinese version of the Golden Saint Cloth, and her main combat pet is the golden dragon, and there are two twin dragons. As for the current unicorn...at first glance, it looks like a fire unicorn, because this guy's body is always burning with flames, but the flame is not red, but golden. In addition, except for his eyes and mouth, all other parts of this guy's body are golden. Even in such a gloomy place, his shiny golden hair is still dazzling.
In fact, the really red mount is not a fire unicorn. But a hybrid unicorn. However, based on hybrid vigor, hybrid creatures are usually stronger than purebred creatures. This hybrid unicorn is no exception. The steaming golden flame on his body is actually what Heaven calls the anode flame, a pure Yang fire that is even more powerful than the true fire of Samadhi. Thanks to the fact that the flames on this guy can't be actively controlled. It can only be wrapped around the body surface to provide some protection. If only this thing could spray everywhere like dragon flames. The power is absolutely terrifying. However, what is really powerful about this guy is not the anode flame, but the skin and hair on his body. Don't look at the flying mane on this guy, it's as soft as velvet. In fact, the defensive power of that thing is comparable to that of diamond, and it is only effective against attacks. In other words, when you stroke him, the hair is just hair, soft and comfortable, giving people an urge to rub your face. But if you want to attack him, the hair will instantly turn into an indestructible armor. Generally, His sword couldn't even leave a mark when he struck it. And this guy's skin is the same as his hair. It is invulnerable to water and fire, and its defense is even more exaggerated than the shell of a battleship. Although it is not absolutely invincible, the attribute of this thing is that it is immune to 90% of attack damage, and it also has additional defense enhancements and Damage rebound characteristics, anyway, this thing's defense is like a tank, it is almost difficult to kill him with a frontal attack.
It's useless to have a mount for defense. Anyway, if the owner dies, the mount will be useless no matter how strong it is. But really red is different. Zhenhong's true martial arts suit and her status as a national weapon holder determine that her combat characteristic is to bravely go straight. This characteristic determines that Zhenhong is usually on the front line, and in most cases faces massive numbers of enemies. Enemy, fight your way through the enemy's siege. Thinking about it just now, in such a critical situation, I still let Zhenhong open the way, and I can see what Zhenhong fights like on a daily basis. Under such a fighting method, if True Red's mount cannot resist, it is very likely that True Red will be fine and his mount will die first. Although her two dragons can also serve as mounts, they are the main combat power after all. If they are held back as mounts, it will definitely be a major restriction on True Red's combat power. Therefore, in this case, a mount that is as tough as a tank is absolutely necessary.
After the three of us summoned our mounts, Christina jumped directly onto the fox with the gold coin. True Red needs to open a path in front, and bringing someone along will affect the combat effectiveness. If I want to be at the rear, the situation is similar. Gold coins are the only suitable candidate. As for Christina herself... although she has quite a few demon pets, and their levels are not low, none of them seem to be suitable as mounts. So at this time the only option is to hitchhike.
After the infantry were converted to cavalry, their mobility obviously increased. Although the attributes of the magic pet were suppressed by the mission, and the speed was not as fast as a thousand, but after all, those who can be used as mounts have the speed specialty, so they are definitely faster than our own two. One leg is much faster.
Zhenhong rushed out first. The monsters on the ground had stood up again, but as soon as they came into contact with Zhenhong's hybrid unicorn, they were directly knocked away, and all the monsters that flew out burned up and fell to the ground. Then it turned into a puddle of black asphalt-like stuff. I also specially observed one of the monsters, and found that the thing did not resurrect. In other words, the anode flame can actually put an end to this kind of thing. It's a pity that this thing is the characteristic attribute of the hybrid unicorn, not a skill, and there is no way to use it actively. Besides, we are not thinking about killing all the monsters here, so I haven't awakened many of these things.
Our team was blocked before because the pioneer, True Red, was blocked. Now that the bulldozer is resurrected, our team will naturally not be trapped again. Because of his fast speed, the route ahead of him was rushed over before the monsters could refill the gold coins. By the time I followed, only a few monsters could touch my side. I only needed to Just sit on Ye Ying's back and use the ever-changing hook and sickle gun to flick it twice and you're done.
Although the monsters these corpses turn into can be resurrected. But it moves too slowly and does not pose any threat as long as it is not entangled. Zhenhong led us to charge all the way, and we were killed from the encirclement of these monsters in less than ten seconds. Even ordinary people couldn't catch up with those monsters that could only walk but not run, let alone our mounts.
After seeing us run out of the encirclement, we were somewhat relieved. I asked Christina and Gold Coin to report their battle records, and after a final check, I discovered the reason for the decline in Christina's attributes. After working on it for a long time, the monster that the corpse turned into actually had a damage counterattack type buff. Although there was no indication of attribute loss due to buffs in Christina's battle report, the indication of reduced attributes was proportional to the attack damage indication. According to the data comparison, the final conclusion is that for every hundred points of damage to those monsters, the initiator of the attack will randomly lose one attribute. This attribute may be attack power. It may also be defense power, or other attributes such as health. There is no obvious regularity, but there is a clear numerical ratio to the damage value.
This discovery drove us crazy. Although we can use our own attributes in exchange for a decrease in the opponent's health. But the thing is, those things can be resurrected. Although I don’t know if it is infinite resurrection. You can only be resurrected so many times. Anyway, from the current point of view, using our attributes to fight for the other party's life is definitely a losing business. In addition, there are some very strange problems with the properties on our side. And the problem is - the attributes of True Red have not changed. No, it's not completely unchanged. In fact, at the beginning of the foot battle, True Red's attributes also declined like ours, but then they disappeared after changing to a mount. Based on this situation, it can be deduced that any monster burned to death by the anode flame will have no effect on its buff attributes. I don’t know if this buff is not effective for magic pets, or because the true red magic pets are special, or simply because the attribute of the anode flame restrains the negative buff. After all, under normal circumstances, the anode flame represents the most rigid and pure, which is everything. The nemesis of negative things, including curses.
Anyway, now we at least know what to do if we encounter that kind of corpse monster with its face covered again, at least we can't let Christina go up to wash the floor again. Just the two hits just now have already reduced Christina's attribute values a lot. Thanks to the time limit of the buff attributes, we are not too worried. As long as we leave the battle, they will disappear naturally after a while.
Before, we just remembered to run away, but now that we are better, we naturally start to reconsider the mission. Although we can be sure that we have entered the buff mission, to be honest, we almost know nothing about the content of the mission. Of course, what the girl said before she died must be the mission goal, but what does this goal specifically mean? She said she wanted us to help them escape. This was obviously not meant to save lives, because there was no one alive in the village except herself at that time. So, according to the initial background setting of this mission, its content should be something related to ghosts. And if this is the case, then death is not the end, and what should be liberated is not their bodies but their souls.
Based on the above information, it is speculated that the current situation is that our mission should be to save the souls of those villagers. However, at first glance, it seems that the content of the task is very clear, but when we think about it carefully, we still don’t know anything. Because firstly we don’t know where this is, secondly we don’t know what things or forces are persecuting those villagers, and thirdly we don’t know what forces are here at all. I can even say that we actually don’t know anything about this place.
In this blind situation, the first thing we should do is to quickly collect intelligence. But the problem is that from entering the mission to now, we have fought three waves of enemies in a row, but there is not even a single one who can talk. See you. Where do we go to collect intelligence in this situation?
Don't tell me yet. While we were worrying about where to go to get information, a bunch of ready-made tongues appeared in front of us.
"This is...the wedding team?" We had already traveled several miles from the village just now. Although the attributes have been weakened, our mounts are all divine objects, so no matter how slow they are, they won't be any slower. In just a short while, we were almost running to the neighboring village, and the team in front of us was obviously heading towards the village we came out from. As a result, we met head-on at a corner of the road.
Because this is a mountainous area. So as long as the road turns a little, we can no longer see anyone on the other side. As a result, by the time we both appear in each other's sight, the distance is actually very close. However, this time the team on the opposite side did not immediately rush to attack, but the opposite. The whole team went into chaos the moment they saw us. The team that was still on its way collapsed in an instant. Those carrying things and those carrying sedan chairs threw away their things and ran away, regardless of their burdens. Of course, there were still only a few people who could run, and more people were simply paralyzed on the ground in fear, unable to move.
We were just being chased by a group of monsters, and suddenly we found a group of people who were so frightened by us that they collapsed, making us unable to turn around for a while. Zhenhong stupidly lowered his head and checked himself, so there was something on his body. The result is of course nothing. Just her mount was covered in anode flames. Even if something does stick to it. This meeting has long since been burned to ashes.
"Are they... afraid of us anymore?" Christina confirmed for a long time before she dared to speak out her guess.
"Are we that scary?" Zhenhong asked doubtfully.
"Maybe there is some misunderstanding. But I think these people have helped us solve a big problem." I said and asked Ye Ying to walk up to ask about the situation. As a result, the people on the opposite side saw us walking over and were a little confused. The person simply shook his head and fainted gorgeously. Of course, only a few people fainted. Most people were still slumped on the ground and shivering as before. Occasionally, some people even produced some indecent things that caused a strange smell in the surrounding area.
Don't pay attention to those who don't matter. My goal is obvious. It was an old man next to a little donkey in the middle of the queue. This old man was riding on a donkey, but he was frightened and fell off just now. There are more than a hundred people in the entire team, and there are only about twenty people who don't have to walk on their own. Three of them were in the three sedans, eight of the remaining people were cart drivers, and the rest were guards sitting beside the bullock carts pulling goods, but the old man was the only one on his own. Riding a donkey clearly shows that he has a different status.
There are three or five people in this team who are older than this old man, so assigning him a mount is definitely not the reason for respecting the old and favoring the young. Then this guy must be the one in charge and has a high status, so he has special preferential treatment. Besides, most of the people at the scene were wearing ordinary clothes. Although they were not tattered, they were all dusty. It looked like they had been washed with an unknown amount of water, and there were no patches. Only this old man. The clothes on his body are obviously made of different materials, and some parts are decorated with silk fabrics, which is unique among this group of people.
At any time, the manager must know more than the soldiers below, so of course you should find this kind of person when asking about things. In the frightened eyes of those around me, I rode Ye Ying directly to the old man. Without dismounting, I just sat on Ye Ying and looked down at this guy and stared at him for several seconds.
The reason why I use this very impolite method is not because I am inferior or arrogant, it is purely a technique. For some unknown reason, the other party was so frightened by us. If I had maintained this condescending position and advantage, the other party would naturally not dare to resist. They must have just said whatever they asked. However, if I go down and say hello politely to the other person, then I need to clarify the misunderstanding. Then I guess it will be the other party who grabs us and starts scolding us.
In fact, this situation is not difficult to imagine. You can imagine walking home at night, and suddenly a man appears with a gun to your head and says he wants to rob you. At this time, most people will definitely give in. After all, the other person just wants money, as long as you are not really poor enough to be kidnapped. If they were robbed and they would starve to death, most people would probably not resist. However, if the other party suddenly smiles when you are about to take the money and says that he came out drunk to scare people, apologizes to you, and tells you that the gun is a toy. How would you say you would feel at a time like this? If I'm good at it, I'll be done with a few curse words, but if I'm not good-tempered, I'll probably just start filming.
This is the situation we have now. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, we scared the other party half to death anyway. Once the other party reacts and realizes that we are not what they are afraid of, their anger will inevitably rise. Asking people about things at this time... Anyway, unless you meet someone with a very high level of consciousness, most people will probably ignore you. Of course, ignoring you is still a good thing, and making up lies to trick you is normal.
I'm not that stupid, and I don't want to play with a bunch of NPCs in a state of etiquette, so I just put on a high profile and follow the other party's misunderstanding and use the identity that the other party fears to directly make the other party surrender, and then I can ask whatever I want. What are you asking? Moreover. These people are obviously of the same level as NPCs, and their combat effectiveness is probably that of a level 5 player. They are real fighting scum. We are not completely pretending to be powerful by using such a high profile.
"Are you the steward of this team?" Although this old man is well-dressed, he does not have the aura of being the boss, so I think he is probably the kind of steward and cannot be the real master of these people, so he is so Asking will definitely not go astray.
Sure enough, the other party finally reacted after a few seconds of shock. He looked at me and said in fear: "Yes, I am the receptionist of General Qiman's Mansion and now serves as the steward of the wedding procession. Please don't kill me! Before." A bride ran away and we chased her for a long time before catching her, but..."
"Shut up. Just answer whatever I ask. I don't want to hear anything else." Apparently the team was delayed because a bride ran away, and the other party regarded us as people who came to ask questions, that is, as A member of the groom’s family. However, speaking of which, isn’t the groom’s family too prestigious? The appearance of these people is not as simple as a delay in the wedding party! However, considering the situation in the previous village, I suddenly had a glimmer of understanding. (To be continued...)
