Chapter 77:
The battle was a test, and it could be said that it exceeded Zhou Chongshan's expectations.
As a member of the tribe, Zhou Chongshan was undoubtedly clear about some information about the skeleton soldiers.
Therefore, his feelings about the changes before and after were naturally much more profound than those of the wolf.
[The Skeleton Soldiers' physical strength has increased, their speed has also increased, and more importantly, they seem to have become smarter. What's going on? ]
There was no time to think about it. Under Zhou Xu's control, the skeleton soldiers who had been killing them all the way quickly changed their formation and surrounded the two men.
Logically speaking, Zhou Chongshan and the evil wolf should not need to panic about the encirclement formed by the skeleton soldiers.
This is because the strength of the skeleton soldiers is limited, and forming an encirclement requires dispersing the limited forces on a large scale.
Simply put, the one-sided defense will become weak, and according to their strength, they can break out with just one charge.
And in fact, they did so.
The skeleton soldiers that formed the encirclement didn't give them time to think and attacked them directly.
Faced with the threat of sticks, Zhou Chongshan and the evil wolf found a direction and forced their way out, trying to change the situation.
Unexpectedly, just as they broke through, the skeleton soldiers surrounding other locations on the periphery immediately ran over, and in the blink of an eye, they were trapped in another encirclement.
"Break out in separate groups!"
There was no time to think about it. As soon as he said this, Zhou Chongshan and the evil wolf had already started their actions separately.
Given the strength of the two, it is not difficult to break through a layer of encirclement.
But Zhou Xu's thinking is clear.
The method of the two people breaking out separately was within his expectations. Without even a moment's hesitation, the encirclement of the skeleton soldiers was formed again, and the wolf was dealt with first!
Before, when facing the encirclement of the skeleton soldiers, Zhou Chongshan and Evil Wolf could at least cover each other with their backs to each other, but now there is only Evil Wolf alone, and there is no one who can cover him in the encirclement.
Faced with the attacks from all directions, the wolf was soon knocked to the ground again.
During this period, Zhou Chongshan, who had successfully broken out, was also terrified.
[In this situation, the only way to win is...]
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Chongshan's gaze fell on Zhou Xu who was standing not far away.
But at the same time, a large number of skeleton soldiers swarmed in.
After the wolf was knocked to the ground and unable to regroup, the subsequent continuous pursuit did not require the participation of too many skeleton soldiers.
Needless to say, when Zhou Chongshan saw that he was powerless to save the situation, he immediately surrendered.
This test is basically just a brief summary.
At the same time, Zhou Xu could also see that at this point, if he continued to fight, the only difference would be that Zhou Chongshan would get beaten up more. There was no need for that, so he released the control of the power of mantra.
In an instant, the skeleton soldiers who lost the power of the mantra fell to the ground.
"Chongshan, you hesitated. Under the circumstances, you should have rushed up and attacked me directly."
"No."
Zhou Chongshan shook his head.
"I didn't hesitate, but when I wanted to do so, the skeleton soldiers had already blocked my path, and the evil wolf had already fallen..."
Hearing this, the wolf, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath with his face bruised and swollen from being beaten with sticks, wanted to curse in his heart, but he really didn't have the strength to do it. In the end, he just collapsed on the ground and died.
"But you hesitated at the beginning. If you really wanted to do it, your burst of speed should be more than this."
Zhou Chongshan did not deny this.
"I didn't expect the Skeleton Soldiers' improvement would be so great."
This is not Zhou Chongshan making excuses.
After all, he was well aware of the strength and various abilities of the Skeleton Soldiers. Who could have thought that in the blink of an eye, the Skeleton Soldiers' performance would completely exceed his imagination?
And it exceeded that by so much.
Their defeat was, to a large extent, due to being caught off guard.
After being mentally prepared, if we fight again, the situation will probably be different.
However, Zhou Xu obviously didn't have the interest or the energy to do so.
If you use multiple mantras at the same time, the cost will be serious.
After many days of rest, the mantra power he had consumed in the previous battle has been fully restored. This test can be said to be conducted in his prime.
But even in this state, in just a short while, his mantra power had been consumed by nearly 70%.
This method cannot be used for a long time.
But it is undeniable that this set of 'combos' indeed met his expectations, and it can even be said that it exceeded his expectations.
This time, the new mantra combinations he activated in the test were "Skeleton Soldier Enhancement", "Skeleton Soldier Speed Enhancement" and "Skeleton Soldier Control Enhancement".
Each combination of mantras was prefixed with "Skeleton Soldier" because during previous tests, he found that combinations of mantras with clearer directions would be more effective and save more energy.
Under this premise, only using 'Skeleton Soldier Reinforcement' will give the Skeleton Soldier a comprehensive boost in strength.
If you use 'Skeleton Soldier Speed Enhancement' again, the effect will be superimposed on 'Skeleton Soldier Enhancement', and the speed will be enhanced once more.
However, if you use 'Speed Enhancement' on this basis, it will have no effect. It may be that the effect of 'Skeleton Soldier Speed Enhancement' is stronger and covers the effect of 'Speed Enhancement'.
As for the effect of 'Enhanced Skeleton Soldier Control', there is no need to explain much. The continuous formation changes used to continuously besiege Zhou Chongshan and the evil wolf were supported by this trick.
Of course, this alone cannot do it. It requires the combined use of the two mantras "Skeleton Soldier Enhancement" and "Skeleton Soldier Speed Enhancement".
After all, if you want to change formations flexibly like this, it’s useless to just rely on improving your control ability, you also have to keep up with the speed and flexibility.
From this point of view, the other two mantras are undoubtedly also crucial.
On this basis, Zhou Xu managed to sort out the comprehensive status of the skeleton at each stage.
The most basic is the 'skeleton' state at the beginning. It looks loose when standing, and it sways when moving. It is slower than normal walking and has no efficiency at all.
In addition, its strength is very low. It will basically fall apart after two hits, and it is unable to use weapons.
After upgrading, it will be the "skeleton soldier" state. After the overall strength of the skeleton is improved, the most obvious change is that it can stand upright.
Standing upright, the movement is steady and the weapon can be held. At the same time, in this state, the skeleton soldiers have the ability to walk normally and jog forward, which greatly enhances their tactical value.
And the last one is the triple BUFF superposition state in front of you.
The strength of skeletons has become higher, and they are basically not much different from ordinary human soldiers. Their movement speed and flexibility have been significantly improved, and they can run quickly.
Under this premise, the control ability enhanced by 'Skeleton Soldier Control Enhancement' can give full play to the improvement of this ability, thus showing the flexible and efficient means of changing formations.
Although these three mantras can be used individually, they can only be used together to achieve the greatest value! Updated, thanks to 'book friend 20191029115026514' for the reward (end of this chapter)
