Chapter 41 No Man’s Land (8)
[Successfully killed a LV62 Desert Camel (Elite), gaining +350,000 experience!]
The crisis was resolved, and Dahu flew back to Linzhi happily.
Generally speaking, there are very few small monsters nearby in the area where elite monsters appear.
But here is an exception.
I don’t know if it was because the noise of fighting with the desert giant camel was too loud that it attracted the attention of other creatures.
Suddenly, a dull sound of running came to Linzhi's ears, and Dahu's ears also stood up.
The area of the Sand River is entirely made of sand. Not only does the sand itself have a sound-absorbing effect, but there are also no trees around, making the environment empty and lonely.
Logically speaking, even though the sound of fighting with a desert camel is loud, it shouldn't be heard outside.
But now something was clearly coming.
Or perhaps the distance between the two was not far, but Linzhi had not noticed it before.
…
As the footsteps got closer, smoke and dust filled the field of vision ahead.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
As the sand flew up, Lin Zhi gradually saw the figure running in the smoke and dust.
They were a group of mad sand lions around level 50.
They have brown-yellow hair extending from the base of their ears to their shoulders, medium-length limbs, and a strong body. There are about thirty to fifty of them.
At this time, Linzhi was surrounded.
Linzhi was a little surprised to see the wild sand lion.
He didn't even notice that they were surrounding him.
After all, the mission required her to obtain 20 Crazy Sand Lion Bones. Now she didn't have to go out of her way to look for them, she could just get them all at once.
I just didn't expect to meet the Lion King again.
Whether in appearance or demeanor, the Crazy Sand Lion King is different from the other Crazy Sand Lions—
His golden mane fluttered in the wind, his head was broad and round, and he was standing on top of a huge barren rock with his head held high, like a peerless king who looked down on the world.
When his bright eyes looked at Linzhi, they were full of majesty and sharpness.
At the same time, the information belonging to the Crazy Sand Lion King also appeared in Lin Zhi's sight -
[Crazy Sand Lion King] (BOSS)
Introduction: A mutant from an ordinary lion, it possesses strong strength and physique and is the top predator in the Sand River.
It is said that only one king is born among two hundred wild sand lions.
[Talent]: Lion King Domain
[Lion King Domain]: When the Wild Sand Lion King is present, all attributes of all Wild Sand Lions increase by 10%.
[Level]: LV69
[Strength]: 990
[Stamina]: 1900
[Speed]: 420
[Spirit]: 1000
[Skills]: Dust Guardian LV69 (Passive), Lion's Roar, Quicksand Trap, Passion (Passive)
[Dust Guardian] (Passive): When the Sand Lion King is attacked, it can summon sand to form a shield to protect itself, reducing the damage received by 20%.
Passive skill trigger probability: [0.5*level]%
Cooldown: 5 minutes
[Lion's Roar]: The Sand Lion King roars loudly, with a 30% chance of causing the target to fall into a random [Fear] state for 1/3/5 minutes, and a 20% chance of causing the target to fall into a random [Stun] state for 0.5/1.5/3 seconds.
[Fear]: Reduces target's attack and defense by 20%
[Stun]: During the stun period, the target's speed drops to 0
Cooling time: 10 minutes
[Quicksand Trap]: Taking advantage of the characteristics of the desert, the Wild Sand Lion King will randomly generate a quicksand trap with a range of 5-10 meters under the feet of the target, trapping the enemy while causing continuous damage of 20 points per second.
Effective time: 5-20 seconds (random)
Cooling time: 30 minutes
[Enthusiasm] (Passive): When the talent field skill is in effect, for each additional Sand Lion on the scene, the Sand Lion King can gain an additional 2 points of strength bonus.
Note: This skill has no upper limit on the increase in strength.
After reading the information panel, even someone as powerful as Lin Zhi couldn't help but frown and ponder the battle strategy.
The level 69 Mad Sand Lion King is 7 levels higher than the elite-level Desert Giant Camel, and is just one step away from the huge watershed of level 70.
Humans can awaken their second profession at level 70, but Linzhi doesn't know about animals at level 70, but he thinks it should be similar.
She can fight at a higher level, and even jump 10 or 20 levels by stacking undead minions, but she cannot jump 30 levels all at once.
Fortunately, this lion king is only level 69, otherwise even if she summoned thousands of undead servants, she would not be completely sure of successfully killing it.
In the face of absolute strength, no matter how many there are, it is useless.
After sneaking into the safe house again, Linzhi began to think about the battle strategy.
Not counting other things, just looking at the summons.
She currently has 4,000 level 41 undead servants and a level 51 tiger to command.
Your mental strength is currently full, so you can choose to summon 1,100 new undead servants, or keep them for combat.
There are two active skills that have never been used, namely [Sacrifice of the Dead] and [Gaze of the Dead].
[Undead Sacrifice] (Level 41) [Consumes 410 Spirit Points]
Sacrifice the summoned undead and you may gain its abilities.
(Probability increases with level, current probability: 30%)
[Gaze of the Dead] (Level 41) [Consumes 410 Spiritual Power]
After activating the skill and staring at the target, if the target's mental attribute is lower than the skill initiator, the "instant death" effect will be triggered.
(Current probability: 30%)
Note: Every 10 levels up, the probability increases by 10% (effective after level 30)
If it is higher than the skill initiator, there is a chance that the initiator will be mentally confused.
(Current probability: 40%)
Note: Every 10 levels up, the probability increases by 10% (effective after level 30)
With Lin Zhi's current mental strength, without drinking potions, he can only use [Sacrifice of the Undead] or [Gaze of the Undead] three times.
The former is of little use to Linzhi. After all, she is a necromancer and cannot fight alone.
Personally enhanced attributes cannot be added to summoned undead servants.
So if you want to use it, you must use the active skill 3 [Gaze of the Undead].
Linzhi is currently level 41, and in terms of mental strength, he is higher than the Mad Sand Lion King.
The 30% chance of "instant death" is also worth her trying.
However, follow-up preparations also need to be made.
Let the undead servants stay on standby and bind life sharing at the same time.
In this way, even if the safe house does not transfer her in immediately, her life will not be in danger.
The reason why Linzhi has this concern is that Jinjin appears less and less frequently every day.
She also didn't know if the safe house would ever become ineffective.
After all, it is a spiritual beast space.
The system's prompts were always there, and she could ask, but Jin Jin's own emotional voice was almost inaudible.
All that could be heard was the clear electronic sound that belonged to a cold and intelligent person.
Although Jinjin explained before that it was constantly absorbing energy to recover and could not appear at all times.
But Linzhi still felt that things were not that simple.
I don’t know where this intuition came from, but I just had this premonition.
The fragments of the spiritual sea remained silent except for the reaction when the [Angel Ring] appeared.
It’s been so long that Linzhi almost forgot their existence.
There are more and more mysteries surrounding her, and now she can only take one step at a time.
…
Everything was ready and Linzhi left the safe house.
Considering the resistance shown by Da Hu when fighting against the desert giant camel, Lin Zhi did not let it join the battle, but let it enter the storage space.
Choose to appear alone in the circle of mad sand lions.
Linzhi's sudden disappearance and sudden appearance did not cause the Crazy Sand Lion King to feel shaken at all.
It still stood on top of the barren rock, looking down coldly.
He didn't even move his feet.
Perhaps in its eyes, Linzhi is just an insignificant existence as weak as an ant.
It's not worth paying too much attention to it.
But this does not mean that it will let Linzhi leave.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.
The Crazy Sand Lion King had no intention of letting the meat go after he got it.
The pride of being a king prevented it from actively attacking, but it activated its innate skill [Lion King Domain] and let the mad sand lions attack first.
Lin Zhi originally wanted to follow the mentality of "capture the leader first" and directly launch [Undead Gaze] on the Mad Sand Lion King.
But due to the restless sand lions around him, he was unable to concentrate his mental energy.
Lin Zhi had no choice but to release the undead slave and drag him away, while at the same time turning his gaze towards the Mad Sand Lion King.
She didn't summon many undead slaves, only a few dozen, barely enough to fight the mad sand lion pack on equal terms.
Some Linzhi even deliberately took back their storage space in the middle of the battle to create the illusion of "defeat".
Thereby reducing the Mad Sand Lion King's fighting desire.
She was afraid that the opponent would use a skill to kill her instantly.
Only by keeping the battle in a situation where the Wild Sand Lions have a slight advantage at all times can the Wild Sand Lion King be prevented from focusing his attention on his younger brothers.
Only then will she have the chance to activate [Undead Gaze].
Speaking of which, Linzhi also has to thank the Crazy Sand Lion King for standing on the high ground.
Otherwise, if she was surrounded by this group of two or three meter tall sand lions, she would not be able to see the lion king.
The Crazy Sand Lion King naturally saw Linzhi, which had become independent.
There were no mad sand lions around her, and the few that occasionally wanted to cooperate in a sneak attack were intercepted by the undead black crystal dogs released by Linzhi.
Although the current situation is somewhat different from what the Mad Sand Lion King expected.
But just as Linzhi thought, it still had no intention of joining the battle.
It’s like sharks, which have long been at the top of the marine food chain, looking down on the plankton floating on the water surface.
The Crazy Sand Lion King also looked down on Lin Zhi, so naturally he would not take the initiative to deal with her.
Just stare at Linzhi and wait for the triumphant return of the younger brothers.
This is exactly the opportunity Linzhi wants.
"Gaze of the Dead."
Lin Zhi stood still, her red lips slightly parted.
The first time, nothing happened.
Linzhi read it again.
Still nothing happened.
One last time...
Lin Zhi's eyes darkened as she looked at the Crazy Sand Lion King, revealing a barely perceptible coldness and determination.
The Crazy Sand Lion King watched with interest the tiny human in front of him muttering to himself, while stretching out his claws to tidy up his mane that was messed up by the wind and sand.
The look he gave Lin Zhi was still so nonchalant.
