Led by Big Black, the ravens patrolled the south side as the guide had indicated.
To verify her hypothesis and whether a boss was lurking, Liu Nian ultimately chose to embark on the road to the south.
There's still plenty of time, and since we have nothing else to do anyway, going out to explore won't hurt.
There were only a few scattered mutated zombies remaining in the buildings surrounding the village, indicating that the village guards regularly cleared out these zombies.
If left unchecked, they will gradually grow in number, making them very difficult to eradicate later.
From the perspective of the ravens, one can see that to the south is a cluster of buildings nestled against the mountain, with residential houses at the foot of the mountain.
I don't know where the so-called southern target location is.
After all, no one would risk their life to pass on intelligence gathered through exploration to outsiders.
As for the other people who knew the truth, they will never come back, forced to take this secret to their graves.
Looking at the buildings at the foot of the mountain, Liu Nian's mind started racing.
Is it somewhere in the mountains? If so, I'd rather not go!
For a homebody like me, climbing mountains is out of the question.
Suddenly, a building at the foot of the mountain caught Liu Nian's attention because many vehicles were abandoned near the house.
Liu Nian urged the raven to rush in that direction at full speed, but from high above, they could only make out a rough outline.
The guide and the two mercenaries had both said that several groups of explorers had recently disappeared, and they would definitely have been traveling by means of transportation.
If it can be proven that the vehicle was recently abandoned, it will prove that the "southern part" they are referring to is this area.
A raven was the first to fly into the vehicles, but before it could even get a foothold, a pair of eyes in the darkness had already fixed their gaze on it.
The poor raven was unaware of the approaching danger and was searching for clues in the vehicle as instructed by Liu Nian.
A dark shadow suddenly appeared, swooping down on the raven, which had just landed, and knocking it onto the vehicle. Then, it grabbed the raven's claws and pulled hard.
Ravens have low health and no defense. When suddenly struck by a heavy blow, they are killed on the spot before they can even warn others.
Upon seeing this, the ravens that arrived later could only circle above the building, hesitant to land, and issued urgent warnings.
Liu Nian was still clearing away the mutated zombies on the street when suddenly a message popped into his mind that his summoned creature had been killed. Then, the anxious warnings of the ravens reached his ears.
Seeing the scene of crows flying wildly over there, I realized that I must have discovered the so-called South.
Having a goal meant less time wasted searching. After selecting a route, Liu Nian didn't linger and headed straight towards it.
As for why it must be there?
The ability to kill a raven in one hit requires a high degree of agility, or being a ranged class.
The fact that the raven circling overhead hasn't been shot down yet proves that the zombie that killed it was a highly sensitive unit rather than a ranged one.
Is it the assassin type?
What if it's a hidden ranged unit?
This is a bit tricky!
The closer Liu Nian got to that building, the more cautious he became.
In every type of game, I've always told myself that assassins and archers are the bane of mages.
Once they were some distance from the building, Liu Nian stopped holding back and summoned creatures in neat formation to advance.
The vampire seemed to sense something and darted toward the tree in front of the house.
Seconds later, a dark figure descended from the sky with a scream, bearing a clear scratch mark, obviously struck by a vampire.
The moment the shadow fell, he rolled and bounced to the side.
Then countless arrows engulfed the spot where it had just landed.
Liu Nian finally saw its appearance clearly; it was a zombie cat.
Creatures that are almost never encountered in the city make their official debut here.
One has to admit that pet cats are not as good at surviving as domestic shorthair cats.
Upon hearing the scream and realizing that his companion had been discovered, the other zombie cats also emerged from the shadows. Upon closer inspection, Liu Nian discovered that there were quite a few of them.
[Level 22 Zombie Tabby Cat] (Mutant Elite Unit)
Attack power: 20-35
Defense: 3-5
Health Points: 1000
Skills: Dash, Claw Strike, Bite.
High attack, low defense, fast speed – that's a basic summary.
To his disappointment, none of the cats were bosses.
Because they were new units, Liu Nian hoped that their corpses could also summon new units.
The terror that can be seen is no longer terrifying, even though their strength is indeed very strong.
However, Liu Nian had a magic weapon to deal with them: the Stone Golem's slowing aura combined with Liu Nian's group slowing spell.
The zombie cat, which was charging forward, flashed and turned into a bolt of lightning, running towards the one-eyed dragon mage in the center.
Their small figures always managed to find gaps between the undead legion members, and from there they would strike Liu Nian directly.
As they got closer and closer to Liu Nian, they suddenly stopped moving, clearly slowing down by half a beat.
Once their tracks are detected, they will naturally be attacked.
It dodged most of the undead army's attacks in a sorry state, managing to hit the zombie cat a few times.
The undead army is too dense; it's unrealistic to expect to completely avoid it.
Then a hideous, yellowish-brown clay monster blocked their way; it was the culprit that had impaired their speed.
Before they could even react, the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open, and countless skeletal claws emerged to grab at them.
Although they skillfully avoided the skeletal claws, their speed was further reduced; the slowing magic doesn't just become ineffective if you dodge it.
Even with their incredible attacks, the slowed-down cats couldn't reverse the situation. They were horrified to discover that they had willingly walked into the jaws of the ghouls, gradually being divided and surrounded by the equally fast ghoul army.
The zombie cat that managed to break through the defenses had its attack deflected by Liu Nian's magic shield. After its attack failed, it was destined to be killed by the Black Warrior.
Their pride, the speed, was limited when they were defeated by Liu Nian; other people were no match for them, let alone a group of them.
Keeping these cats around would be a menace to the camp, so Liu Nian had no choice but to kill them.
[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully killing the elite zombie cat and gaining 300 experience points.]
Zombie cats have already been killed, and they've gained quite a bit of experience points.
Hearing the voice in his mind, Liu Nian pondered to himself.
Once one happens, another will follow, and soon these zombie cats were all harvested by the undead army.
Unfortunately, no boss-level zombie cat appeared until the last zombie cat was eliminated.
My experience points have increased significantly, bringing me one step closer to leveling up.
However, the final result of the summoning spell was not satisfactory. The units that could be recruited from their corpses were actually zombies, which Liu Nian could not understand at all.
The fastest unit suddenly becomes the slowest unit; that's quite a big difference.
Collecting the dropped cards took a while, and Liu Nian found that her heart couldn't calm down.
Could it be? Looking at the surrounding buildings, a bold guess popped into his mind.
