No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
Corpse monster.
This is a species of exotic beast that has never appeared in the region.
Xu Ben's understanding of him also came from the information left by Ye Liang.
At this time, no matter how bold Xu Ben was, he realized the problem.
The Yin dog rushing forward is not just cannon fodder, but also nutrients!
Because I have never encountered this before, it is difficult to think of this at the first time during combat.
Corpse monster, a quasi-third-tier monster.
Under normal circumstances, the strength of the corpse monster is not very strong.
Whether it is speed, strength, or physical strength, they can only be said to be average and do not have any particular characteristics.
However, the reason why they are quasi-third-tier monsters is because of their special abilities.
Cannibalism.
They can obtain some of the original properties of the corpse by "enjoying" the corpse.
For example, now, when the corpse monster eats enough Yin dog corpses, it will gain the Yin dog's agility attribute.
Not only that, they can also evolve by eating corpses.
After absorbing a certain number of corpses, they will reach the true third level of strength.
When they first saw the introduction of this strange beast, many combatants in Yecheng felt that this was the most terrifying strange beast.
Because their upper limits are simply too high.
If they were allowed to absorb the characteristics of various exotic beasts, wouldn't they become invincible?
Fortunately, Ye Liang’s information also summarizes his weaknesses.
First, they can eat without being interrupted.
In other words, even if they kill it, it will not delay their eating.
Secondly, there is an upper limit to their evolution.
Even if this kind of corpse monster eats more corpses, it cannot evolve to the fourth level.
The former Three-Tong Cooperation Zone had specifically conducted experiments with this kind of exotic beasts, providing them with a large number of exotic beast corpses, just to see where their upper limit was.
If it can really break through to the fourth level, or even higher, then the corpse monster will become the most difficult monster, no doubt about it.
Fortunately, under the witness of the commanders, after the corpse monster evolved itself to the peak of the third level, it stopped breaking through again.
In other words, even if the corpse monster tries its best to eat, in the end it can only be equivalent to the 999th soul level of humans.
However, even so, this kind of corpse monster is still quite troublesome.
Because they...
It is a strange beast that lives in groups.
Provide groups of zombies with enough corpses of exotic beasts. When they evolve into a group, the destructive power they can bring should not be underestimated.
At this time, when Xu Ben noticed that the group of corpse monsters had begun to gnaw on the corpse of the Yin Dog, he realized that the other party definitely had a strategy this time.
But when he told everyone about his discovery, Ma Yuxiang immediately realized another thing.
"The location where they eat is very particular."
Ma Yuxiang frowned.
Although he couldn't see the situation over there clearly, based on Xu Ben's description, Ma Yuxiang could also judge the distance between them and the corpse monster.
Ma Yuxiang first looked ahead, then turned his head to observe his own team.
"They determined our maximum strike range."
When these words were spoken, Yan Feng and others looked forward in surprise.
really.
The location of the corpse monster is just out of the team's shooting range.
Although they have more or less learned some skills of leading troops in the past few years, they are still several levels behind Ma Yuxiang, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years.
So Ma Yuxiang could see the details that they couldn't see at a glance.
"The problem is, just because we can't reach them with firepower doesn't mean we can't attack them, right?"
Qu Hongbo frowned and asked at this time.
The reason for asking this is that the corpse of the Yin dog that the corpse monster is now gnawing on was originally left by Ma Yuxiang.
Just now, Ma Yuxiang killed a large number of strange beasts with his sea of swords, and his attack range was even longer than the team's firepower range.
This just gives the corpse monsters space to create distance and evolve.
So, in the current situation, wouldn’t it be enough for Ma Yuxiang to kill another group of people?
The alien beasts had lost so many Yin dogs, which gave the corpse monsters an opportunity to evolve. In his opinion, it was a bit too easy.
However, Ning Fan, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.
"What if their intention is to get Commander Ma to take action?"
Ning Fan glanced at everyone.
Qu Hongbo's eyes fixed.
Ning Fan continued, "Or to put it another way, is it possible that the other side is forcing us to use our high-level combat power?"
When these words were spoken, everyone finally realized that these strange beasts were indeed intelligent.
Now here lies the problem.
If you take action, you must send out high-level combat forces.
Once high-level combat power is mobilized, it will inevitably be a huge consumption.
The corpse monster is at least a quasi-third-level monster. Killing it may not be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables like killing a Yin dog.
By then, a lot of physical strength will be consumed.
Of course, if humans ignore the corpse monsters, they can only watch them evolve.
By then, humans will inevitably have to pay a greater price to deal with a group of zombies that have evolved to the third level.
It should be difficult to stop them just by relying on the team's firepower suppression.
Therefore, no matter what choice humans make, the other party will be able to accept it.
"If my guess is correct, it means that the attack of this alien beast cannot be stopped in a short time."
Ning Fan frowned tightly.
He could feel the opponent's determination from the first charge.
But the current situation is more serious than he thought.
The other party's most direct attitude now is to infinitely consume the advanced combat power of the human side.
Even if it costs the lives of tens of thousands of strange beasts, it is worth it.
This also proves that the other party will not give humans a chance to breathe.
The enemy can't just end it hastily after consuming the enemy's strength. Instead, they have to launch a general attack when the human advanced combat power is exhausted!
When everyone realized the seriousness of the problem, they all looked at Ning Fan.
The situation is already here, and how to deal with it depends on Ning Fan's decision.
"Uncle Guan, Lu Yuan."
Ning Fan looked at the two of them with a serious expression: "From now on, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to take action without my order!"
Both of them showed expressions of resistance at the same time.
But Ning Fan didn't give them any sign of rejection: "You have to cover for everyone."
In fact, both of them knew what Ning Fan meant.
But what if, by then, humans really can't handle it anymore, and they have to watch everyone risk their lives while they can't do anything...
This feeling is so uncomfortable.
Ning Fan could also understand what the two were thinking at the moment.
His eyes were firm, and he emphasized again that he would not tolerate any rejection.
"Only if you maintain your peak condition will we dare to fight with all our strength!"
