Chapter 37 They can fight as long as they want

Lu Yao looked at the newly opened map.

Behind the mountains there was a large forest and plain, and at the edge of the forest there was indeed a salt pond of astonishing size. In the middle of the pond stood a black castle, surrounded by lingering gray fog.

The salt pond covers a large area, with many houses, watchtowers and pits built next to it. Many little people scooped the brine into small pits and set up stoves around them to heat it up in order to extract the salt.

In addition, there are loggers in the forest, quarry workers on the hills, and pastures on the plains, where a large bird called the Pacing Bird is raised.

The Pacing Bird, just as its name suggests, likes to walk around. It cannot fly and is not aggressive. It is raised as a meat poultry.

Most of the laborers were wandering savages with bare hands and feet. They were organized to do this kind of mechanical labor, participating in logging, quarrying, and salt refining... Each savage was tied with ropes and connected to each other to prevent them from escaping.

The ones who commanded them were not people from the Salt Pond Tribe, but a kind of humanoid monster with blue skin called the Corruptor.

The corrupt are the upper class here, supervising and directing human work.

Although they are called corruptors, this group is not a group of mindless zombies. Instead, they have very clear division of labor and personal missions.

The Corruptor monitors every human work, issuing warnings and reminders from time to time.

"Don't be lazy! Do you want to go hungry? You! You untouchables, stand up quickly!"

"It's all for the great whistleblower!"

"As long as you work hard, you can become a glorious corrupter and never fear death again!"

"Don't be afraid of getting hurt, don't be afraid of being tired, after death, you will gain eternal life!"

"The Lord Knight will reward the untouchables for becoming corrupted!"

Lu Yao was amazed by this kind of coercion and inducement.

He remembered that the [Evil Bone Whistle] he seized from Lisa was made by the Whistleblower. It seemed that this person should be a strong god.

The situation within the Yanchi tribe was more complicated than he had expected.

Lu Yao continued to observe.

He noticed that the little people in the Yanchi tribe, who were dressed in linen, were also very humble in front of the corrupt. These people were just vassals and subordinates of the corrupt, doing foreign trade for the corrupt in exchange for various commodities.

The true ruler of the Salt Pond Tribe is the Corruptor.

Lu Yao counted.

There are not many Corrupters, only twenty-five in total.

However, their levels are very high, the lowest is LV12, and the highest is even LV15. Judging from the level alone, they are almost the same as Isabel.

No wonder Lisa had to cooperate with them before, and the cave monsters had to bow their heads to the Corruptors.

However, since he had not entered combat mode, apart from being able to see their levels, Lu Yao was unable to know the detailed values ​​of this group of Corrupters and was unable to make a basic assessment of their combat power.

However, Isabel gave her evaluation: "My lord, they are quite powerful. I can tell their strength from the fire of faith."

"Do we need to execute them all?"

Lu Yao was shocked.

There is no connection between your two sentences.

Just now he said that they were very strong, and then he said that he could kill them all? He typed to confirm.

——Can you handle these corrupted ones? "Yes, my lord."

Isabel said calmly, "But this is just the periphery. The real danger and the controller are in the castle. I haven't entered the castle yet, so I don't know the other party's strength."

Lu Yao is very confident in Isabel.

Since awakening her, Isabel has not encountered a real opponent, it is just a matter of time.

However, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Lu Yao typed again.

——If you encounter a strong enemy, can you escape? "Sir, the enemy must be unable to leave the castle for some reason."

Isabel calmly analyzed, "Otherwise, given the enemy's strength that is superior to that of ordinary corrupted people, as long as they leave the castle and enter the outside world, they can completely control the surrounding area."

"It now seems that it is likely because he is under some kind of restriction."

"Of course, these are also my inferences."

"But I am confident that I can successfully retreat even if I am defeated."

Isabel couldn't understand the mechanism, but Lu Yao knew it.

Regardless of whether the castle is a dungeon or not, there must be a boss inside.

In this novice area, the boss definitely cannot move around freely. Otherwise, the apprentice god player would have no chance to play, as they would be burned, killed, robbed and tortured by this group of high-level monsters before they even had a few people...

If this were true, the grass on the graves in the Garlic Tribe would be several meters high by now.

Lu Yao thought for a moment.

——Then let’s get started and get rid of this corruptor as soon as possible.

"Yes, sir."

Isabel rushed from the mountains to the salt pond, and the nearest Corruptor immediately spotted her.

"Who are you! Stop! Untouchable!"

The "In Battle" sign suddenly appeared above Isabel's head.

Lu Yao opened the battle interface.

Two Lv12 Corrupters faced off against Isabelle.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

…

[Corruptor LV12]

HP: 240/240 Mana: 37/37 Damage: 10 Defense: 8 Speed: 7 [Stubborn LV6]

There is a certain chance that the character will not be affected by spells.

【Rebirth LV6】

If the body is not completely destroyed after death, there is a certain probability of resurrection.

…

These two abilities made Lu Yao immediately alert.

Spell immunity + rebirth?

As a normal monster, is this a bit too strong?

He muttered in his heart, could this be the simulator's punishment for not leaving the safe zone? However, facing Isabel in the state of summoning the holy sword, the Corruptor still had no chance. The huge gap in numbers made them just sandbags with slightly thicker skin.

Isabel held the holy sword and chopped down two Corrupters. Other Corrupters joined the battle and a meat-mincing war began.

Lu Yao was not worried about these monsters, as they could not cause any substantial hindrance to Isabel.

What he cared about was the castle shrouded in gray fog.

Corrupted people kept running out of the pixel castle and joining the battle outside.

In this situation, some of the savages who were tied up with ropes tried to escape, but were immediately killed on the spot by other corrupted people. Seeing this, the other savages dared not move.

As a result, the salt pond became a dual-threaded situation where some people worked and some fought without interfering with each other.

As the battle continued, some of the corpses of the Corrupted on the ground pieced together and were reborn into new Corrupted, continuing their marathon battle with Isabel.

Monsters kept spawning out of the castle, seemingly endless. Isabel killed hundreds of corrupted ones, but these monsters still kept coming.

Even in this process, Isabel was upgraded to level 16.

Lu Yao felt ecstatic.

Is this the legendary monster spawning point?

Good job, kill monsters for me! Lu Yao ordered fried potatoes and grilled gluten. With a Coke, he watched Isabel mowing the grass and killing monsters with relish, which was more comfortable than doing it himself.

The more he looks at the Corruptor, the more he likes it.

Stubborn is good, rebirth is good, both are good skills, you are also first-class monsters! Refresh for me, rebirth for me, and fight hard for me!

While Isabel was fighting, a dialog box appeared above her head.

"My lord, something is wrong here."

"The number of corruptors has not decreased at all."

"If we continue to fight, other corrupted ones will awaken from the castle. Their number will be much greater than expected."

"Perhaps the key reason lies inside the castle. Should we go in and check it out now?"

The key here is to level up, don't worry about useless things.

Lu Yao was munching on toasted gluten while typing quickly in the dialog box.

——They can fight as long as they want, until they win completely!
