Chapter 340 Medusa, Death, and the Three-legged Crow
As for Jacques, he is the king of snipers. He takes aim from a distance, pulls the trigger in the void, locks onto the snakeman's eyebrows, and kills one snakeman with one shot, perfectly!
The two armies faced each other, and with the tacit cooperation of Wei Huan's undead army and long-range attacks, the battlefield began to move forward.
But before they could move forward too much, a torrential downpour of gusts of arrows suddenly fell from the front, whizzing and whizzing, flying five or six miles away, with no sign of weakening in their power. They flew past Wei Huan's undead army and headed towards the chariot.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
The arrow hit the protective shield outside the chariot, causing the shield to ripple and shake slightly.
Such a volley of attacks could actually shake the eighth-level protective shield.
However, Wei Huan soon discovered the trick.
Not every arrow can shake the protective shield, but only some longer and heavier arrows have such power.
In the vision of the Lord of the Demon Eye, Wei Huan watched the arrows with black light emitting from their tail feathers bombarding the protective shield. Following the direction of the arrows to the end, he saw a small number of snake men with six arms.
The six-armed snake man is becoming more and more mythical, and his image completely conforms to human’s conception of the “snake demon myth”.
They have six arms, a pair of which are mostly used to hold two swords and two guns, and the remaining four arms are used to draw bows.
The bow was drawn at the full moon, and strands of the power of law flowed into the bow and arrow. As the fingers loosened, with a buzzing sound, the arrow flew as if it could cut through the air and hit the protective shield of the chariot heavily.
The outermost protective shield shattered with a clang, shattering into shimmering fragments. At the same time, an even more terrifying aura gathered, as if it had accumulated all the damage it had sustained and was now suddenly releasing it!
"boom!"
The semicircular sickle halo flew outward, spreading to more than ten miles. Amidst a burst of shrill screams, both Wei Huan's undead soul and the snake demon's undead soul were cut in half and killed completely.
Wei Huan's undead soul will return to the tomb after death, while the snake demon's undead soul will be taken back by the challenge world after death.
Looking at the venue that was suddenly cleared, not even a trace of blood was left, and it was empty in the distance.
Seeing such a similar scene, Wei Huan wondered for a moment, if challenging the world was a trap set by some profession, then was it possible that the other party was a necromancer? Or another gravekeeper?
But the situation at the scene did not allow Wei Huan to think too much.
The ring-shaped sickle was extremely sharp, clearing a large area of the battlefield and killing almost all snakes below the level of snake demons.
Even many snake monsters with two arms could not escape the fate of being cut in half.
However, the halo of the broken protective shield did not cause much damage to the six-armed snake demon. Except for some who were slightly injured, no one was seriously injured and fell.
The wound angered the six-armed snake demon!
They opened their mouths and roared, their mouths were half the size of their heads, their eyes and mouths glowed together, their bodies, which were originally a circle smaller than the two-armed snake demon, suddenly grew larger, becoming three to five times larger, and turned into a huge body about fifteen meters tall.
These enlarged snake monsters put down their bows and arrows, slapped the ground with their tails, and bounced up as if flying, flying two or three kilometers away and rushing straight towards the chariot.
At the same time, there were still many six-armed snake monsters that had not grown larger. They continued to draw their bows and shoot arrows, attacking the second chariot protective shield on Wei Huan's side.
The six-armed snake monsters' angry attack quickly broke the second protective shield. The same halo appeared and was about to fly in front of the chariot. The giant six-armed snake monster was cut directly by the eighth-level protective shield at close range.
The nearest few snake monsters were cut in half and died.
The remaining hundreds of snake demons were also injured to varying degrees. Their momentum of attack was halted, and some fell to the ground. At such a close distance, they could only wait for death.
But another protective shield appeared on the chariot.
Not to mention that they were a group of undead whose souls were controlled by the challenged world and who had no intelligence but only instincts, even the celestial demons who were also challengers hated the protective shield of human chariots.
The defense is strong, and even if it is broken, it can cause huge damage. After you finally knock down one, there is still another one. It's like a nesting doll.
When the third protective shield appeared, there seemed to be a slight commotion in the six-armed snake demon's long-range team.
But here, at the forefront of the battlefield, changes have occurred.
Before the six-armed snake demon could attack the third protective shield again, a black whirlwind appeared out of thin air on the battlefield. When the whirlwind dissipated, no one could see what was inside it, and gray snow began to fall between the sky and the earth.
A huge bear with a shoulder height of more than 20 meters fell heavily to the ground, and rushed to the front with its fangs bared and claws roaring, causing the earth to tremble.
Following closely behind were the two-headed hidden demon whose figure flickered, the running wolf commanding the march of the legion, the Shuroma with scales like a dragon horse, and the flying monkey emitting a hazy golden light.
Wei Huan’s undead leaders finally took action!
From the beginning, he had planned to use shield-breaking attacks to clear out a wave of snake monsters, so he did not summon high-level undead.
Now facing an even more powerful snake demon, it is naturally the turn of the undead leader to take action.
The legendary and pseudo-god-level undead leaders ran head-on into these six-armed snake monsters that only had the strength of silver-level treasure chests, and they couldn't kill them for a while.
They often focus on resisting the six-armed snake demon, and the real killer comes from the attacks from the chariot.
Wei Huan was weakened, but the others were not, especially the weapons of the four chariots were upgraded to level eight. Wei Huan's main chariot also had a level nine net-casting component, which was the real "knife" to kill the enemy.
Wei Huan was very clear about his current position in the war. As long as he could rely on the massive undead to block the way and provide enough output space for the long-range attackers to prevent them from touching the chariots, the battle would be half won.
As for the other half.
Wei Huan looked into the depths of the six-armed snake demon's camp in the distance, and there was no relief in his eyes.
He did not forget that this was a king-level tribe.
It’s a pity that Wei Huan’s strength was so comprehensive that even the Demon Eye Lord’s vision could not see too far.
He couldn't find the king-level one among the group of snake monsters.
In the team, including Jacques, all the members with vision were assigned to look for the king level.
Jacques' golden eyes appeared above the snake demon. While sniping the snake demon, he searched for targets in the snake group one shot at a time.
Until he discovered the snake demon hidden in the group of snakes, whose body color was the only dark gold.
But at the same time, the snake demon also noticed him.
The dark golden snake demon suddenly raised its head, revealing a pair of golden eyes that looked exactly like Jacques's. As it glared at him, its hair twisted and spread out, with the tops split open, and it roared at him.
This is! ?
When Jacques's mind was in turmoil, his eyes suddenly went dark and he could not see anything.
He stumbled back from the war platform, shouting, "Look out for Medusa, I can't see!!"
"Your eyes!?"
"Petrified?"
"Get out of the way, it's just a magical effect. Let me do it. I can dispel it. Everyone, get out of the way!"
Jacques's eyes, which had been temporarily blinded, soon regained their sight. He nodded in thanks to the person who had prayed for his healing and immediately contacted Wei Huan, repeating, "It's Medusa. Magic can dispel it. I'm fine."
Wei Huan replied: "I understand. Let's take a break and return to the battlefield."
"No need to rest, I'll be back soon."
"You used magic to see it, but you were still blinded?"
"Yes, so..."
"Thanks to the sealed power, I can't see it." Wei Huan paused and said, "Throw two level seven scrolls into that area."
"good."
Communications were ended and the rhythm of the war returned to normal.
Wei Huan announced, "The King-level enemy has been confirmed. It's Medusa. Don't look into its eyes. Remember, the petrification state can be removed. Once you lose sight, return immediately."
Now, let’s go!”
Finally, the melee fighters who have been sharpening their swords for a long time can go out! !
As the two level 7 scrolls dropped by Jacques exploded in the middle of the six-armed snake monster, the melee fighters joined the battle one after another through the puppy-headed people who had been scattered on the battlefield long ago.
The battle became more intense and the battlefield began to move forward rapidly.
Soon the number of the six-armed snake monsters was rapidly reduced, and they were forced to retreat.
Mu Zhong suddenly warned, "Be careful, the King Level is about to take action."
Wei Huan nodded and prepared to send Dian Ma out.
Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, kings against kings.
The so-called strategy of "lower horse against upper horse" is obviously not suitable for a battlefield where the enemy's situation is unknown.
The only way to respond to each move is the safest. Wei Huan deployed his troops steadily and revealed his last trump card.
But before Dian Ma could rush into the battlefield, Medusa took action first.
Its body suddenly grew larger, becoming like those giant snake people, with a dark golden body as tall as 15 meters.
But obviously this is not its limit. When its tail exerts force, its entire body soars up to a height of 25 meters.
Even a big bear can't block this height.
The huge body and dazzling gold color, the moment it appeared, even though many close combatants were warned not to look, Mu Zhong's voice even rang out in the tactical headset immediately: "Don't look!"
But human instincts are always uncontrollable.
In an instant, many close combatants were hit, their eyes were dark, and their eyes were petrified and blinded.
"Come back!" Mu Zhong said hurriedly, and then added, "Everyone come back! Provide long-range cover! Increase firepower!"
The melee fighters were well-trained, and even in good condition, the axe had already hit the snake monster's neck. All the melee fighters who heard the order jumped back into the little dog-headed man's mouth and returned to the chariot at the first opportunity.
The front line, which was just filled with swords and sabers, now only had a six-armed snake demon left.
Hundreds of six-armed snake monsters roared and searched frantically for the enemy. Many dogmen went straight back to the tomb.
It is conceivable that if anyone was a step slower, he would have been surrounded by the six-armed snake monster.
The returning melee fighters were immediately surrounded by praying people. Each of them received overdose of treatment, and their blinded eyes healed quickly.
After their vision was restored, they immediately returned to the team and waited for their second appearance.
At this time, Dian Ma was already walking towards the group of snake monsters step by step, and at the same time, its descendants were rushing towards the snake monsters like waves of the sea.
And Dianma faced Medusa head-on.
What Wei Huan could not have imagined was that Medusa's petrification effect actually also worked on the undead who had no eyes, but it was not as obvious as on living people.
Dianma bumped into the side of Medusa. Under the hissing of Medusa and the little snakes on its head, the bright white back shell gradually turned into stone gray.
But he is a god-level undead leader after all. Even if his combat effectiveness is suppressed, Dianma is still good at fighting.
The back shell hit Medusa, knocking her down. At the same time, its tentacles and long legs had already wrapped around Medusa, and the hooks that grew penetrated deeply into Medusa's body. Even if the toxin could not kill Medusa, the basic corrosive effect still made it difficult for Medusa to withstand.
Medusa's originally beautiful dark golden skin looked like it had rusted, with some parts corroded and some parts dark.
Medusa screamed miserably and used all her strength to petrify her mother.
Dianma's half body soon turned into stone, but even as stone, it was tightly wrapped around Medusa.
The two leaders were inseparable for a while, entangled like two snakes, rolling on the ground.
Mu Zhong seized the opportunity and sent out a melee attack again to assist the ground beasts in the battle.
Xu Qingqiang and Hammer Brother also took action and came directly to Medusa. With a wave of their swords, they slashed and black blood spurted out of Medusa's body.
poisonous!
It's a bit damn poisonous, and also has snake venom.
Hammer felt dizzy after a little touch and withdrew from the battle without hesitation.
But Xu Qingqiang laughed "hehe", as if he saw some delicious spicy strips, and rushed forward excitedly.
The Sky-Splitting Slash appeared in mid-air, leaving bleeding wounds on Medusa's body.
It’s a pity that Xu Qingqiang ate too many of Wei Huan’s undead. Although he is a demon type, he has taken a half step into the undead type. He is also suppressed by this world and can only exert about 70% of his combat power.
Otherwise, the damage he caused to Medusa would not have just left some wounds on her, as it could have killed a ninth-level celestial demon.
It’s just a gold-level monster. Even in an eighth-level world, Xu Qingqiang can kill it alone with full buffs.
Now he could only cooperate with his mother. They killed one person at a time. Xu Qingqiang ate while killing.
“Hehehe!”
"Hahaha!"
This is the cry of a killer who is very happy and happy, and it often means that this guy is a little out of control.
Fortunately, Xu Qingqiang knew that Medusa couldn't be eaten, so he held back his saliva and finally climbed up Medusa's back and onto its shoulders. He looked at the golden neck and swallowed his saliva, "Awoo!"
The battle ended after five minutes when Xu Qingqiang bit off Medusa's neck.
As Medusa's body disappeared, some melee fighters who were petrified and blinded were naturally freed from their negative status.
They supported each other, smiled at each other, and teleported back to the chariot.
Xu Qingqiang was full and came back with a smile on his face. He announced, "What kind of suppression is that? Is it so hard to release it? I just ate a few bites of spicy noodles and the suppression was relieved a lot.
Boss, how about you go down and eat some next time?"
“…”Wei Huan is not that harsh.
Undead, something that smells foul, but Xu Qingqiang can eat it as a delicious delicacy.
But on second thought, it’s not surprising that Xu Qingqiang relies on eating to relieve the suppression.
"How much will you unlock after eating this Medusa?" Mu Zhong asked first.
"5%, but it died after just a few bites. If I could eat them all, maybe I could unlock all the restrictions." Xu Qingqiang said, and then something occurred to him. "Hehe, next time I encounter a gold-level monster, I'm going to eat it from the feet first."
Mu Zhong: “…”
Mu Zhong then asked, "Aren't there other levels of undead? If they are silver level, there are plenty of them."
Xu Qingqiang replied, "No, I'm afraid it can only be Gold level or above. The last time you fought a King level monster, I was scratching my head in the Dark Source Room. If I had known that eating it would unlock it, I would have come out right then. By the way, what was the King level monster last time?"
"If we look at what happened today, then the monster last time was the God of Death?" Mu Zhong said uncertainly.
Xu Qingqiang was surprised: "Death?"
Mu Zhong recalled, "It was a skeleton monster wearing a gray cloak. The scythe it held was incredibly damaging, and it could also throw it for long-range slashing. The deceased team member simply couldn't dodge the attack. I speculated about the monster's type at the time, but because the skeleton's appearance and the aura of this world were so dark, I couldn't be sure it was the Grim Reaper."
Mu Zhong paused here before continuing, "Although Medusa also looks like a demon beast, she is a creature that does not exist in the seventh-level world. I have an idea. It may be a bit complicated to explain, but it is obvious that the seventh-level world has a reality to support it. Demon beasts and demons should have really existed in the world.
Medusa and the God of Death, on the other hand, are truly legendary beings... No, that's not accurate. They are actually gods, low-ranking gods."
Wei Huan nodded when he heard this.
Xu Qingqiang also said: "The summary is very accurate. I can understand the subtle difference between them. That's right, it is a low-level god who was deified."
Mu Zhong said, "So this world shouldn't just be the realm of the dead as we thought it was, but a higher level, perhaps even a world where gods are buried."
Wei Huan thought for a moment and asked, "Did Iron Heart mention the body of a god from the sixth-level world?"
Mu Zhong tilted his head for a few seconds before shaking his head: "Authority restrictions, and we also have limited information about this world."
Xu Qingqiang snorted, "What's there to hide? Once we pass the assessment and the opening battle begins, we'll know the name of the world and most of its information."
The conversation ended quickly, and Xu Qingqiang ended the call and left.
He was the melee captain. No team members died in this battle, but there were many injured people who he needed to deal with.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong were left, and they chatted again: "We'll reach level 80 tomorrow. Should we go fight the final boss?"
Wei Huan said, "I was still hesitant, but now that Xu Qingqiang can be unsealed, we can fight this battle. I'll open any gold-level treasure chests I come across in the next two days. Single gold monsters are easier to kill than king-level tribes. The sooner Xu Qingqiang recovers his combat effectiveness, the safer we'll all be."
Mu Zhong asked, "What about you? Is it difficult to unlock it?"
Wei Huan nodded.
He had found a way to break the seal, but as a true death challenger, he was also the most suppressed by this world. That thickest chain was definitely not something that could be broken in a short time.
Even if he melted all the thin chains, the ultimate recovery of his strength to 40% would probably be the limit. He still had a long way to go in this world.
Wei Huan briefly explained his current situation, and Mu Zhong was called away. The war was over and there were many miscellaneous tasks. Mu Zhong took over all the trivial work, leaving Wei Huan time to practice.
Wei Huan didn't waste Mu Zhong's efforts and quickly threw himself into the "Severing the Locks Plan," repeating it over and over again without getting tired of it. He didn't feel bored either. Cultivation was inherently boring, always repeating things that had been practiced a billion times. Only by enduring this boredom could one become truly skilled.
In the evening of the next day, they successfully passed Line 80. Mu Zhong found Wei Huan and asked him to arrange for the Ghost Crow to search for the gold-level treasure chest.
Now is the eighth day of the highway assessment, and there are still two and a half days before being teleported out. We have to reach the end of the level and kill the boss, and also help Xu Qingqiang recover his combat effectiveness. The time is short and the task is heavy.
Wei Huan looked at himself and saw that after a day and a half, his combat effectiveness had only recovered to about 33.2%. He decided to put his own side aside for the time being and concentrate on dealing damage to Xu Qingqiang.
Next, the chariot continues to move towards the end of the level, but if it finds a golden treasure chest, it will stop and fight.
We were very lucky with the first golden treasure chest, as it opened another Medusa, and it was a Medusa without the cooperation of the tribe. The experienced team easily killed it.
This time, Xu Qingqiang really started eating from the tail, but unfortunately, before he finished eating the whole tail, Medusa's health bar was at the bottom and it disappeared directly from Xu Qingqiang's mouth.
Fortunately, Xu Qingqiang's strength recovered to 80%.
Challenge time: around 1 a.m., open the second golden treasure chest.
A ball of red sun burst out, illuminating almost half of the road world.
Then the thing crashed down like the sun, scorching everything with high temperature. The earth was engulfed in flames, even the soil was burning.
Xu Qingqiang went out with his mouth drooling, and ran back in a hurry. He couldn't eat such a hot thing.
Using the chariot's maneuverability, they circled around the sun for most of the night, until five in the morning, when they exhausted its energy and revealed its true face.
As everyone guessed, this is a three-legged golden crow, a demon god from the mythology and legends of Daxia.
But no one is happy.
Although the demon god in the legend of Daxia is also a gold-level monster, it is so difficult to kill. It would be very difficult to restore Xu Qingqiang's combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
After fighting with the three-legged crow for more than half an hour, Xu Qingqiang finally found an opportunity, grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.
This thing was not big, but about the size of a big goose, with flames flowing on its black feathers.
Xu Qingqiang put the three-legged golden crow into his mouth but couldn't swallow it. He spit out fire for a long time as if performing a talent, and finally ate it while blowing out smoke.
Strength unlocked, restored to 88%.
"Good news, what did you guess? The blueprint of the full-level arrow tower!" Mu Zhong came to report the good news with a beaming brow.
Wei Huan was also very happy, as this would increase his chances of winning.
Mu Zhong then said, "It seems that the gods of Daxia are of a higher rank."
Wei Huan said: "Even though they are both gold-level monsters, there are still significant differences between them."
"That's right. Norse mythology, Greek mythology, and the mythology of the Three Kingdoms are all complete and magnificent. In the Daxia mythology system, this three-legged golden crow is the son of the Demon Emperor, a being comparable to the sun god, and must be the ceiling of the gold level." Mu Zhong finished speaking, but sighed, "We've wasted too much time here, and I don't know if Brother Qiang can recover his fighting ability."
Wei Huan wanted to walk forward and see how it goes, but suddenly Xu Keqiang sent him a message.
He appeared on both of their virtual screens at the same time, beaming with joy, "Good news! We just finished the battle, and Jacques said he's going to advance!"
