But the problem is that the team is currently more than 150 meters away from these wild boar zombies and has not yet entered their perception range.
According to normal people's thinking, they must keep quiet and go around quietly. It is best not to engage in a battle with these low-level undead who have no wisdom or thinking.
After all, zombie boars are not as easy to deal with as zombie humans and skeletons.
With a weight of one to two hundred or even two to three hundred kilograms, a thick layer of tough fur on the body, as well as rotten flesh, cysts and unknown black and red insects that may carry deadly plagues, it is obviously difficult to deal with from any angle.
Especially the one in the lead, which looked a bit like a ferocious wild boar mutated by magical energy. It was so huge that it looked just like a sturdy bull, with two protruding fangs as sharp as bull horns.
If it is accidentally pushed up, even steel armor will inevitably be dented.
Unfortunately, the sorceress Caroline's shrill scream made the "avoid combat" option disappear.
The wild boar zombie, which was wandering aimlessly, immediately turned around after hearing the sound and stared at the team's location with its two pale eyes.
"Well - I think we're in trouble..."
Wu Sheng held his forehead and couldn't help sighing.
Although he had anticipated that bringing this somewhat timid girl along might cause some trouble, he never expected that the trouble would come so quickly and so suddenly, leaving him completely unprepared.
In contrast, Jack's reaction was quite straightforward. He threw the backpack behind him to the ground, quickly raised his war hammer and shield, and shouted, "Don't panic! It's just a pile of rotting corpses! There's nothing to be afraid of! Everyone, get ready to fight!"
Before he finished speaking!
He then raised the flame-like holy emblem in his hand and began to pray to the God of Phoenix. Immediately afterwards, a ray of golden light fell on everyone around him.
In just a few seconds, the team, which was originally a little panicked because they were about to fight a supernatural creature for the first time, quickly calmed down.
Even the sorceress who had just been frightened and let out a shrill scream returned to normal after she came to her senses.
First-level spell [Blessing]! This is the most frequently used spell by low-level priests in small-group battles. It is also the best spell for group blessing and gain when the professional level is not high.
It not only gives people the courage to fight fear, but also fills the body with strength.
Especially in a sudden encounter like the one now that caused teammates to panic, a [Blessing] could immediately calm them down and enable them to perform beyond their normal capabilities.
Just look at the two warriors who have already raised their shields and held their guns, and you will know that they are at least mentally prepared to fight back.
The thief climbed up to the treetop as quickly as possible and pulled the string of the powerful crossbow in his hand, which had to be wound up with a winch.
Although on the continent of Faerun, most thieves are functional professions, their main functions are to sneak around, open locks, pick pockets, inquire about information, and find, set up and dismantle various traps.
Only when they are absolutely sure will they sneak up behind the target and launch a sneak attack, killing the enemy by inflicting fatal injuries to vital parts.
This is why most thieves who pursue strong personal strength will work as warriors, rangers, assassins and other various professions like Entreri.
Because without these part-time jobs, it is impossible to have strong frontal combat capabilities by simply improving the thief's level.
But players are obviously not subject to this restriction.
To be precise, the relevant professional training they received on Earth and the various skills they mastered will not be reflected in their professional level.
This means that each of these carefully selected elites possesses one or two things that can be called "unique skills".
Just as Jack and two other warriors formed a shield wall with an inclined surface, ready to take the first wave of attack from the zombie boars, the thief in the treetop finally pulled the trigger.
Whoosh! With the sound of the arrow piercing the air, an arrow that had obviously been modified flew at an extremely fast speed towards the zombie boar group that had already started charging.
But incredibly, the arrow did not hit any of the wild boars, but went straight down into the ground.
Just when Jack and others thought that their thief teammate was too nervous and missed the target, the end of the steel crossbow arrow inserted into the ground suddenly shot out a sharp blade with a cold glow in the opposite direction.
As luck would have it, the next second the wild boar in the front stepped over the sharp blade.
As expected, the sharp end directly cut a wound as deep as a finger on the wild boar's bulging fat belly, and the smelly, rotten intestines and other internal organs instantly flowed all over the ground.
Although undead creatures such as zombies have no pain nerves and would not feel anything special about having their intestines ripped open, the long string of intestines that had become extremely tough under the erosion of negative energy got entangled in the arrow the moment it fell.
As a result, the wild boar had not run two steps before its intestines dragged the arrow high up and fell down, and finally got stuck on the branch of a tree, creating a sudden backward pulling force, causing its limbs, which were not particularly coordinated to begin with, to trip over each other.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, this large wild boar zombie, which definitely weighed more than a ton, rolled over and slammed into a nearby tree with a bang.
This was a serious incident as it directly blocked the path of the wild boars behind it.
Since low-level undead creatures have little intelligence, and wild boars cannot be stopped once they start charging, more than a dozen wild boar zombies were tripped one after another, and fell all over the ground like a scene of a serial rear-end collision.
“It’s simply amazing!”
Wu Sheng was completely amazed by the archery skills of his fellow thief, his face full of shock and disbelief.
Because this arrow not only accurately calculated the speed and direction of the wild boar's charge in a very short time in advance, but also made full use of the wild boar's amazing weight and great inertia when charging at full speed.
As a ranger who also used long-range weapons, he might be able to use his innate talent for aiming and shooting to shoot arrows into the wild boar's eyes, but it was absolutely impossible for him to replicate the scene just now.
Not only Wu Sheng, but everyone else in the team also showed similar expressions.
There was no other reason, the effect of this arrow was simply too exaggerated.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that such an outrageous thing could exist in the world.
"Um... don't get me wrong, everything you just saw was actually a coincidence. At first, I just wanted to use the modified crossbow to cut off one of the wild boar's legs and slow down its forward movement. I didn't expect the series of reactions that would follow."
The thief himself quickly recovered from his brief shock, scratched his head with an embarrassed look on his face, and explained.
Although it felt really good inside to be stared at in this way, he was very clear that this situation, which was completely caused by luck and coincidence, would never be successfully replicated.
Instead of letting other team members have unrealistic fantasies and expectations of themselves, it is better to tell the truth directly.
"Is it really just luck?" A hint of doubt flashed in Jack's eyes.
The thief smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's really just luck. Otherwise, if I really had this ability, why would I have to climb up to the top of the tree to hide?"
"Well, that's true. But you did a great job with this arrow."
As Jack spoke, he rushed forward side by side with the other two warriors and beat the wild boar lying on the ground with a beating.
Needless to say, the latter, who was holding a sharp spear, just stabbed randomly from a distance.
As the saying goes, an inch longer, an inch stronger.
Long-range piercing weapons such as spears and lances are originally known as the "king of weapons". In real combat, they are more practical than short weapons such as swords, axes, and hammers.
Many times, just a flat stab is enough to make it difficult for people to parry or get close.
In contrast, swords and knives require years of training, guidance from famous teachers, and accumulation of practical experience.
Heavy weapons such as axes and hammers have very high requirements on the user's strength and endurance.
Therefore, unless there are extreme players like Jack who stacks the strength attribute to 20 points, many players will often carry a long-handled weapon with them in addition to a short weapon.
At this moment, the two spears played an extremely important role, and they killed four wild boar zombies before they could get up.
There were four more whose heads were smashed one after another by Jack's hammer.
重达三十公斤的锤子,对于任何生物来说不小心挨上一下都是极为恐怖的事情,更不用提抡起来狠狠地砸下去。
看看那些死掉野猪僵尸深深凹陷下去的头骨,还有砸下去瞬间飞溅的血浆,就知道这玩意近身肉搏中的破坏力有多么惊人。
得亏杰克戴了全封闭头盔,别人看不见他发狠时那张嗜血、张狰且狞丑陋的脸,否则非得连续做一个月的噩梦不可。
不过八只显然并不是这群野猪僵尸的全部。剩下几只很快都挣扎着从地上爬了起来,并且以极快速度撞向距离自己最近的玩家。
“小心!”
吴生赶忙出言提醒其中一个没有注意到身后的战士,同时迅速从箭囊中抽出一支箭,凭着与生俱来的独特感觉将其射了出去。
嗖! 还没等前者来得及做出反应,就看到锋利的箭矢擦着自己的脸颊飞了过去,以一种语言无法形容的刁钻角度噗嗤一声灌入野猪僵尸的眼睛。
这个足有两百五十多公斤重的大家伙一往无前的凶猛气势当场为之一顿,随后不受控制的偏离原定方向,一头撞在旁边的树干上发出一声闷响。
差点被野猪僵尸一下撞死或者撞残的战士,看到这一幕顿时惊出一身冷汗,赶忙转过身一脸感激的说道:“谢了,伙计,我欠一个人情。”
“不用客气。”
吴生随口呼应了一句,迅速拉开弓朝另外一头野猪僵尸射击。
在他精准无比的狙击,还有杰克这个凶悍牧师的锤子敲击下,剩下几只野猪僵尸也都很快被打翻在地。
那无比真实的战斗,以及凶险异常的过程,让在场几名上过战场的老兵都开始大量分泌肾上腺素,眼睛里不仅没有正常人该有的恐惧,反而是透露出兴奋跟刺激的光芒。
毫无疑问,这才是他们所期待的生活,每天游走于生死之间,享受那种与死神共舞带来的刺激。
至于不小心引发了这场意外遭遇战的术士卡罗琳,则全程划水看戏,连一个零环戏法都没能施展出来。
因为对于像她这个年纪的女孩来说,这一切实在是发生的太突然、太刺激,结束的也太快,压根没能从恐慌和震惊中回过神来。
坐在地上休息了大概五分钟,杰克最先忍不住打开角色面板看了一眼,结果发现自己居然积累够了经验值,直接从LV10升到了LV15(相当于真实等级的一级半),各项基本属性也得到了强化,立刻惊讶的说道:“咦?我居然连续升了五级!难道说除了学习和训练之外,在战斗中杀死怪物也是一种可以快速升级的方式吗?”
“哈!我也升了两级!”
“我升了一级!”
“我升了三级!”
“怪不得刚才我突然觉得自己的力量变强了一点。”
“是啊!我的反应速度也一样。”
……
随着杰克的提醒,其他人也都纷纷打开角色面板查看自己的情况,并且一脸兴奋讲述着属性增加后带来的变化。
由于左思让主脑伊莎多拉将LV1的真实等级拆分成了LV10的虚拟等级,因此从虚拟等级的LV2开始,玩家们的各项属性和能力的数值就跟真实情况完全不同了。
别看每次升级职业对应的主要属性都能加一点,可实际上需要累计四十点才相当于真实等级的一点。
就在小队成员七嘴八舌讨论着这种“杀怪升级”的机制究竟是怎么运行,为何杰克提升的等级最多,而其他人则相对较少的时候,卡罗琳举起手用略显心虚的语气插了一嘴。
“我……我的职业等级没有提升。”
“嗯?”
吴生敏锐捕捉到了这句话所包含的信息,马上惊呼道:“该死!我好像明白是怎么回事了。
卡罗琳刚才在战斗中完全没有出力和参与,所以她没有被分配到经验值。
我们几个应该是根据每个人在战斗中的贡献和作用,被自动分配了一些经验值,职业等级自然而然就获得了提升。
也就是说,想要获得更强大的力量,我们就必须要去杀死更强的敌人和怪物,而且绝对不能偷懒或者划水。”
“原来如此!我刚才给所有人加持了神术,又亲手敲死了差不多一半的不死生物,所以才获得了最多的经验值。通过不断的战斗跟杀戮来变强吗?哈哈哈哈!这还真是符合我的胃口!”杰克攥紧拳头开心的大笑起来。
要知道刚才那种锤锤到肉、下下裂骨正面硬钢野猪的战斗,简直让他感到热血沸腾,一股脑把这段时间积攒下来的杀戮欲望全部都发泄了出来。
如果这种“杀怪升级”和“根据贡献与作用分配经验值”的猜测是正确的,那么他有信心抢在其他玩家之前率先把职业等级提升上来,并且始终保持在最顶尖的第一梯队。
与这种巨大的优势相比起来,什么三点魅力、五点智力统统都不是问题。
大不了以后弄个铁面具直接焊在脸上永远也不摘下来。
吴生也忍不住笑着感慨道:“是啊!看来我们要改改之前尽量避免战斗的策略,反倒是要尽可能量力而行的寻找怪物,将他们全部击杀变成经验值。”
“赞同!虽然任务很重要,但等级提升同样也很重要。”
盗贼下意识伸出舌头舔了舔嘴唇,满脸都是凶狠嗜血的表情。
不用问也知道,他接下来也不打算继续猥琐下去了,而是要准备拼命。
毕竟不拼命就分不到更多的经验值,意味着等级方面很快会被第一梯队的精英玩家甩开。
经过简单的修整并喝下瘟疫中和药水之后,一行人很快再次出发。
但与之前小心翼翼的前进不同,这一次他们都像饿狼一样不断在密林中搜索。
一旦发现有会动的东西,不管三七二十一先射一箭再说。
不少从魔法瘟疫中幸存下来的野兽和鸟类,就这样被不明不白的干掉了。
当然,被干掉更多的还是那些死而复活的低级亡灵。
其中躲在暗处突然跳出来偷袭的四只食尸鬼,着实给这支低等级的冒险小队造成了不小的威胁。
一名战士手臂内侧无护甲的地方被抓了一下,看上去血肉模糊十分的恐怖。
得亏是被抓而不是被咬,否则还有很大概率感染“食尸鬼热疫”。
可即便如此,随之而来的全身麻痹还是差点让这个战士丢掉了小命。
女术士更是差一点被扑倒,被活生生拖进足有半人多高的草丛分尸。
等战斗结束,杰克立马开始履行自己牧师的职责,用零环【治疗微伤】给受伤的队友止血。
至于为啥不用跟高级的一环神术【治疗轻伤】……
当然是因为压根连记都没记!
他从一开始给自己的定位,就不是那种传统意义上治病救人的牧师,而是一个能够使用神术的强悍战士。
刨除已经用掉的【祝福术】,这家伙另外一个神术位记得是用来强化近战杀伤力的【神恩】,早就在战斗中用掉了。
而领域神术则通常是火领域的【燃烧之手】,或者净化领域的【启迪灵光】。
前者不用问也知道,是一环塑能系魔法中少有的大范围群体伤害。
后者则是在手中聚集起一团闪光的能量,然后将其释放出去直接打击敌人,其单体伤害威力相当惊人,完全不逊色于一些二环法术和神术。
因此杰克的战斗方式非常简单粗暴,往往是一边强化自身和周围队友,一边挥舞战锤、释放伤害性法术直接莽过去就完事了。
看着疲惫不堪的同伴,还有已经用光了所有法术位的女术士卡罗琳,吴生立刻提议道:“今天的探索就先到此为止吧。我想我们最好立刻找个相对安全的地方下线休息一晚,等明天早上再继续。”
“听你的。”
杰克今天的神术也刚好用光了,赶忙点头答应下来。
好不容易有机会离开浮空城到外面来杀怪升级,他可不希望自己身边的队友太早死掉。
就算要死,也要成为这批精英玩家中最后一个死的。
不过在一个到处都有不死生物游荡的地方,找到一个相对安全的地方过夜显然并不容易。
哪怕是身为掌握大量野外生存知识和技巧的游侠,吴生也用了足足四十多分钟,才终于在一条林间小溪四百多米之外的地方发现了一个树洞。
从地上枯萎的树叶和散发着轻微异味的干燥粪便,他立刻就辨认出这是某只熊用来冬眠的地方。
但好在眼下是夏季,而且地上的脚印已经模糊到看不出来,洞穴的原主人短时间内肯定是不会回来的。
因此小队在商量过后决定在此扎营。
可就在众人准备坐下来啃点面包片、肉干和酱菜当做晚饭时,突然听到附近不知道什么地方传来一声震耳欲聋的咆哮。
Wu Sheng was the most alert. He immediately dropped his food, grabbed his bow and arrow, and was the first to run out of the tree hole.
The second roar followed as expected.
At this time, Jack also ran out and asked in a very nervous tone: "What on earth is that sound? Is there a scary monster nearby?"
Wu Sheng shook his head with a serious expression: "I don't know! The sound should come from the bottom of the stream. But I think we'd better go and take a look."
"Then let's go. Anyway, after hearing this kind of roar, I don't think anyone would dare to log off and rest."
After that, Jack glanced at the others with a questioning look.
As expected, even Caroline, who was the most timid and had little combat experience, followed.
In fact, although the girl did not perform well at the beginning and was often confused in battle.
But as she experienced more and more battles, by the last battle she was not only able to ignore the hideous and terrifying zombies, but also forced herself to concentrate on casting spells and successfully released the [Magic Missile], and she also summoned an extremely ferocious badger through the [Level 1 Summoning Monster Spell], turning the situation around when she was attacked in the worst situation.
After all, the biggest advantage of players is that they will not really die, and they have countless opportunities to make mistakes and try again.
Even an ordinary person without any combat experience can quickly grow into a skilled fighter or spellcaster after experiencing it a few times.
Jack has always been watching Caroline's growth, and he also realizes the amazing role that a spellcaster can play at critical moments.
Apart from anything else, the badger created by the [Level 1 Summoning Monster Technique] that could distract the enemy in battle allowed him to successfully break free from the entanglement of the ghoul, and then smashed this intelligent and insidious undead creature into a meat patty with a hammer.
As for the magic missiles with built-in tracking function, they can ignore all obstructions and obstacles and directly hit the target, causing considerable damage.
Just as Jack was considering whether to invite Caroline to join the team, the team finally came to the edge of a cliff along the stream.
Looking down along the splashing stream, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
In a huge circular canyon with a radius of several thousand or even tens of thousands of meters, there stood an extremely large city.
A floating city to be exact!
However, this floating city did not float in the sky above, but was covered with densely green vines, trees and moss. From a distance, it seemed to have merged with the entire forest.
What's even more creepy is that the people living here are not humans, but tens of thousands of undead creatures.
Among them were low-level zombies, skeletons, and ghouls that they had seen before, as well as demons, vengeful spirits, extinguished spirits, bound spirits, face-stealers, soul-cage demons, and grave knights that they had never seen before...
In short, it's so crowded that you can't see the end!
The number is so large that it makes one's scalp tingle.
In addition to the undead creatures formed after the death of humans, there are also a large number of undead creatures formed after the death of animals, as well as various giant undead structures assembled from animal corpses.
Among them, those stitched creatures that look like the Schnazkar stitched giants are hundreds of meters in size, and they exude thick black fog that symbolizes negative energy.
The largest one had five huge and deformed heads, lying in the center of a huge magic circle, continuously releasing terrifying red light from the center of the hollow ribs.
There were also several undead spellcasters around, wearing dirty robes and chanting spells with their hands raised high.
The roar just now came from it.
"Oh my God! This... This is the target we are looking for on this mission! The floating city of Mutahar disappeared from the sky! No wonder we can't see anything from the airship, it actually camouflaged itself perfectly."
Wu Sheng's lips were trembling with excitement.
It's impossible not to be excited! Because the mission clearly states that the first person or team to find it will receive a full 10,000 gold coins reward.
Other participants will receive a reward of at least ten and no more than three hundred gold coins based on their contribution levels.
What does 10,000 gold coins mean to current players? It means that they can buy a large number of scrolls, potions, or at least three or four enchanted weapons and equipment in the magic shop in the floating city!
It also means that more than five thousand "Infinite City" currencies can be exchanged!
Even if the money is divided equally among the whole team, everyone can comfortably enjoy two months of extravagant life, and if they spend frugally, they may be able to survive for half a year to a year.
"Fuck! How many experience points can I get if I kill all these undead creatures? And how high can my job level be raised?"
Jack subconsciously clenched the warhammer in his hand, and he was so excited that he felt as if he could jump down at any time.
But after some struggle, reason finally overcame impulse.
He took a deep breath, gently slapped his cheeks with his palms to force himself to calm down, and then asked several other teammates around him: "What should we do now? Should we try to go down and investigate, or send a signal to the airship first?"
Wu Sheng answered without hesitation: "Of course, send the signal first!
With so many enemies, the few of us would be torn to pieces before we even get close.
If you join forces with other elite players and use airships to bomb from the air, you can reap a lot of experience points.
But I doubt that Captain Boll would agree to do this, which would be no different from suicide."
"Hehe! No matter what, we've made a lot of money this time. Let's go and send a signal quickly, otherwise we'll be doomed if we're discovered by the other party..."
Before the thief could finish his words, several blurry and translucent mists suddenly emerged from the darkness.
Before he could react to what was happening, the mist quickly condensed into angry and distorted human faces, emitting a creepy, shrill scream.
The next second...
All the undead creatures at the bottom of the cliff stopped moving, raised their heads and stared with cold eyes.
In just less than a dozen seconds, the huge number of ghouls, zombies and skeletons quickly climbed along the vines like ants, and the spiritual creatures even took off directly on the spot.
Such a horrifying scene instantly made Wu Sheng shudder. He immediately activated the fireworks wand used to send signals, and then shouted: "Run! Run! Don't stop!"
After hearing this, several other members of the team immediately came to their senses and started running away without saying a word.
In their opinion, their current situation was like stirring up a hornet's nest. They had to inform other players of the news before they died, especially to ensure the safe evacuation of the important airship and Captain Bol.
Otherwise, if such an important NPC died, resulting in a lack of convenient transportation in the future, other players would resent him.
But what Jack and Wu Sheng didn't know was that as players, they were actually the eyes, ears and tentacles extending from the main brain.
Everything they saw, heard, and experienced was no secret at all to the mastermind Isadora.
When the floating city of Mutahar was discovered, the entire top leadership received the news immediately.
Vanessa, who has the highest management authority, immediately assembled the core members of the organization and recalled the three Isadoras who were migrating the population on the other side of the continent.
In just less than two or three minutes, he completed the war mobilization.
Immediately afterwards, the Plantia floating city, which had not moved for a long time, began to control gravity and flew towards the scene of the incident at an extremely fast speed.
The speed was so fast that even the players felt something was wrong.
"Fuck! Is this floating city under our feet moving fast?"
A wizard apprentice stood on top of a high tower, staring in amazement at the clouds outside the window that were drifting away.
"What happened?"
"Could it be that the guys on the airship a few days ago discovered something and are preparing to go to war?"
"War? With whom?"
"Idiot! Of course it's other floating cities. Didn't you read the background setting? Except for us, all other floating cities in this world have been occupied by undead creatures."
"Floating City War? Is it going to be so big right from the start?"
"Damn! This is too exciting!"
"Do those of us who haven't graduated from the academy have a chance to participate in the war? Are we just going to watch the whole thing?"
"I don't know! Let's go to the central tower and ask."
"Together!"
…
After a while, a large number of players rushed to the central tower.
But when they were halfway there, they discovered that the constructs, golems, and skaab creatures, which were rarely seen in normal times, were all geared up like soldiers heading to the battlefield, pouring out from the various closed underground entrances in an endless stream, and their numbers were so numerous that they could not be counted.
The mobile floating island that was originally floating near the city and equipped with a super cannon also had corresponding operators.
Everything ultimately leads to one result: war.
However, the top leaders in the floating city of Plantia no longer have time to pay attention to these players who are temporarily unable to form combat effectiveness. They are now gathered in the conference room, watching the live footage provided by the main brain Isadora.
Soon, Vanessa took the lead and asked, "Have you sent someone to inform Lord Soth?"
"We have sent one. But Lord Soth seems to be exploring another world. He has proactively blocked all outside interference and locked himself in the detection room of the Mage Tower. We cannot contact him for the time being." Tailantier explained helplessly.
"Okay, then this battle is up to us. Immediately give orders to Bol at the front line, and tell him to hold Mutahar's floating city at all costs before we arrive, and never allow him to escape." Vanessa made the decision on the spot.
Although he also knew that relying on only one airship, those pitiful supplies, and just over 140 players who had just obtained professional levels, it was simply a daydream to threaten a floating city.
But now we can only rush and try to buy as much time as possible.
"Boll has received the order. He said he would immediately gather a group of players and fly the airship directly over the canyon to bomb."
The mastermind Isadora quickly transmitted the order through the psychic network under her control.
Vanessa nodded in satisfaction: "Very good! Tyrantil, you will be responsible for operating those super electromagnetic cannons.
As soon as you enter the maximum range, fire a volley at me immediately.
Don't be afraid of consumption, use the most destructive hydrogen-oxygen mixture bombs and incendiary bombs.
Oh, by the way, those jars filled with holy water can also be stuffed in there to give those low-level undead creatures a bath."
"Got it, just leave it to me."
Without a word, Tailantier accepted the task, turned around and quickly disappeared at the end of the stairs around the corner.
In the next few minutes, Vanessa assigned tasks one by one like a calm commander.
The entire floating city quickly entered a level one combat readiness state from a peaceful state.
Players can even see the tops of those towering wizard towers begin to flash dazzling magical halos, followed by layer upon layer of protection covering the floating city.
Especially after the installation of the [Core of Misera] and the introduction of Faerun's magic net, the defense of the floating city of Plantia can be said to have been epically strengthened, and it seems to have become a large-scale magic barrier or even a maze.
Just as the floating city was entering a state of war, Bol, who was far away on the other side, had already begun to control the airship to fly slowly at a low altitude, and hung a rope ladder outside, constantly gathering players according to the positions provided by the main brain Isadora.
After a short while, about sixty people climbed up the ladder.
When they learned that the team led by Wu Sheng and Jack had completed their reconnaissance mission, a howl of grief immediately broke out in the crowd.
It was obvious that they were heartbroken over missing out on the huge bounty of 10,000 gold coins.
However, when he heard that the team had stirred up a hornet's nest and was being hunted by thousands of undead, he immediately became gloating.
When Bol announced that the airship would go directly to the sky above the floating city of Mutahar to carry out a bombing mission, the players immediately danced with excitement.
Even though they knew very well that this was almost a suicide attack, as long as enough undead were killed by dropping bombs and their professional levels were raised fast enough, no one cared whether they died once or not.
Moreover, the floating city also took out some magic items and equipment as rewards, including a secondary magic storage ring, a belt that can increase a certain basic attribute, a +1 flaming sword with a cool appearance, a necklace that can shoot a three-ring fireball every day, a magic wand that can be used ten times to treat minor injuries, and so on.
It can be said that each of them is extremely tempting to penniless players.
All players who participate in this action can obtain a corresponding number of lottery tickets according to their contributions, and determine the ownership of these grand prizes by scratching the lottery tickets.
In addition to the grand prize, there are also some small prizes such as potions, scrolls, fire glue, ordinary enchanted arrows, missile wands, etc., and there are quite a lot of them.
In short, as long as you can win any one of them, you will definitely make money.
As for a life, if it is lost, it is lost. The worst that can happen is that you will drop a level or two or lose some experience points.
In this way, many elite players with rich combat experience moved the bombs in the cargo hold to the semi-enclosed deck while joking with each other.
After a while, the entire deck was filled with stuff.
A human female warrior with a resolute and heroic face was looking forward with a telescope, conveying information to her companions behind her in extremely professional terms.
When she was getting closer to the floating city, she finally saw Wu Sheng, Jack and others being chased by countless ghosts and undead creatures.
At this moment, they not only looked extremely miserable, but almost everyone was covered in blood, and their number also dropped from six to three.
It was not known whether the thief and the other two warriors were dead or had run away, but they disappeared without a trace.
"Hahahaha! Look! These guys are really lucky! They're still alive!"
A bearded dwarf player laughed heartily.
"Want to bet on how many minutes they can hold out?"
Another player nearby who was clearly of mixed orc descent also grinned.
Who allowed them to get the most generous mission rewards before everyone else?
Just as the dwarf player was about to respond, the female player holding the telescope immediately turned around and rolled her eyes in annoyance: "It's already this late, and you're still having fun here. Immediately get the bombardier to prepare holy water! We have to rescue them. Now is not the time to fight among ourselves. One more person means more strength."
"OK! Got it!"
"Holy water! Find the jar of holy water!"
"Bombardiers, ready!"
"put!!!!"
With smooth command, six jars filled with holy water full of positive energy fell straight from the sky.
Since many of the first batch of elite players were "professionals", they made very accurate calculations of height and wind speed.
Without exception, the jars filled with holy water were less than twenty meters from the ground and were shattered by the crossbow arrows that were shot out subsequently, covering a large area like flowers scattered from the sky.
The undead creatures in spirit form screamed in agony when they were drenched in this way.
Some weaker ghosts were purified immediately, and their bodies became more and more transparent until they disappeared completely.
"Fly... airship?! Our airship is coming! Hurry up and catch up!"
Jack's face was filled with excitement at surviving the disaster.
Even though he had already prepared himself mentally to die once, he couldn't help but struggle again when he thought of so many undead in the floating city of Mutahar waiting for him to harvest.
Finally, the hard work paid off and rescue finally arrived.
When the rope ladder lowered by the airship passed by him, he dragged the warlock, who was already fainted from exhaustion, with one hand, and with the other hand he held the ladder tightly and climbed up little by little.
Wu Sheng followed closely behind.
Not long after, the two successfully climbed onto the cabin of the airship. After looking at each other, they immediately burst into unstoppable laughter.
(End of this chapter)
