Chapter 139 Ashes System
The interval between each salvo is three seconds.
For Leon and the others, these three seconds were only enough to leap forward a few steps, and when they heard the sound of the bowstring being tightened, they had to stop and defend on the spot.
From the moment the giant appeared, they were hundreds of meters away from the enemy.
This is simply torture, so much torture.
If the tombstone was still intact and they had a place to hide, they would feel a little more comfortable. Unfortunately, there wasn't one. Under the dense attack of arrows, they could only rely on the 360-degree all-round protection of the Sword Saint Japar.
If it weren't for Gapar, I'm afraid everyone would have died in the first round of volleys.
For most people, this level requires relying on tombstones to get to the giant little by little. A mistake means death. But if you can memorize the strategy, it may be easy.
Numerical monsters have their own shortcomings. If Gapar had not followed them, they would have already found the correct strategy and were trying to kill the giant.
Everyone moved forward at a snail's pace, and as they approached the ruined city wall where the giant was, Leon suddenly discovered something.
Because the tombstones and weeds all disappeared when they were still hundreds of meters away from the city wall, the ground was bare.
It's like saying: Charge forward, you'll be amazing if you can survive the hail of arrows.
At a distance of hundreds of meters, an adventurer with average strength can rush over in a few seconds, but it is also enough time for the archers to complete a volley!
There were two paths before them. One was a staircase leading to the top of the city wall, where they could face the giant directly.
The other was a small room beneath the city wall, lit up by sporadic torches and seemingly leading to a bottomless underground.
The closest room to them was undoubtedly the small room. As long as they rushed in and closed the door, they could block all the arrows from entering.
Leon found it very strange, because according to the information provided by other teams, there should be at least three paths to take on the city wall, and each path corresponds to an elite monster that can weaken the Death Ritual Bird.
But where is the third way? Why can't I see it?
However, the current situation did not allow them to think, and everyone chose the stairs leading to the top of the city wall!
In such a short period of time, the giant has successfully attracted everyone's anger, and everyone wants to grind him to ashes!
Anyway, the last section of the road is the same for them whether there is a tombstone or not. Japar swings his sword "swish swish swish", and the sky is full of dazzling sword light. Everyone takes two steps, stops, plays with the sword, and then takes two more steps. This goes on in an infinite loop.
No matter how good-looking the special effects of Japar are, the whole process still feels quite weird.
His arms didn't feel sore at all, and even his eyes didn't blink at all. He was so strong.
Everyone went from being nervous at the beginning to being numb now. They just needed to watch Gapar show, and the latter thought so too.
"Haha, such a grand scene is rare. I have never seen such a powerful dungeon!" Gapar laughed heroically.
However, just as everyone was advancing smoothly and was about to reach the bottom of the city wall, a group of new monsters suddenly joined the battlefield.
When he saw the true faces of those monsters, Japar's face suddenly fell.
Because those monsters are rust monsters!
"Again?"
This time, Japar will not use weapons to attack the rust monster. Even though he is only using an ordinary long sword bought from the blacksmith shop, he cherishes any weapon very much.
So, he simply pulled up a broken tombstone and smashed the approaching rust monster's brain into pieces.
Tel also came to help, swinging his big hands vigorously, but he was too devoted to the fight and a stray arrow pierced his shoulder!
Just one arrow could penetrate Ter's body! ?
He grimaced in pain, and Drew scolded him while helping him with treatment.
The moment everyone climbed onto the city wall, all the archer spirits standing on the plain disappeared. Instead, a row of about ten archers appeared on the small city wall. The giants stared at them with fierce eyes, and their dry faces looked like those of a devil.
"Take care of yourselves,"
This time, Japar stopped protecting the attacking team and rushed straight towards the giant. It seemed that the opponent would not use any other means of attack except summoning the archery spirit.
A flash of sword light passed by, and the giant wailed and turned into dust and disappeared, leaving a spot of light in its place.
"I leave it to you," Gapar waved his hand casually, not caring at all about the reward for killing the enemy.
"You are worthy of being the master!" Leon, who knew Gapar's character well, clapped his hands.
"What's the big deal?" The Sword Master smiled as he shook his head modestly. He reviewed his actions in his mind and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his actions were awesome.
It seems that swordsmanship is still quite cool. No, magic is still cooler.
People are always attracted to things that they don't understand but seem very powerful, such as magic to Japar. He can't even set off a small firework, and learning magic has almost become an obsession.
The reward for killing the giant is unprecedented, called [Ashes of the Shooter Group].
When facing elite monsters or above in the dungeon, you can summon it once at any time. In the outside world, it can be used once every 24 hours. Each time it is used, three shooters can be summoned on the field to attack the enemy.
"Ashes?"
Drew had a strange expression on his face. Using the things left behind by the dead to summon them to help in battle sounded like something only a necromancer would do.
But when I think of the strength of those archers just now
It smells so good! We will definitely use these ashes!
The ash system doesn't seem to bring much novelty to the people of this world, probably because of the existence of necromancers in this world.
The pirated ashes made by Gong Qiying do not need the bell given by Lani, but the power of the corresponding ashes will be reduced.
If the adventurer is able to obtain a bell later and use it as a medium to summon the ashes, its strength will return to normal.
As for the time limit for summoning ashes in the outside world, he had wanted to set it so that they could be summoned at any time. However, in that case, the mental power required to make a pair of ashes would increase more than ten times, and would only drop after the limit was added.
It was as if the whole world was trying to stop him from coming up with something incredible.
Malu took out the hunting manual. As a participant in the battle, her manual would also be updated with information about the giants.
[Hunting Manual - Monsters]
【Name: Grave Keeper】
[The nameless giant who was entrusted to guard the tomb, in order to prevent innocent people from mistakenly entering the depths of the tomb, and to prohibit those with ulterior motives from contacting the country deep in the tomb that was corroded by the abyss, he and the archer's spirit guarded it without sleep]
This is a monster fabricated by Gong Qiying.
Prevent innocent people from going to the wrong grave.
Malu thought of the archer with fierce firepower and wondered, how could you stop him like this?
Guarding the tomb, or guarding the abyss, is it because of the request of the Farran Undead Team? Damn, why didn't the manual provide all the information? There are too many blank spaces, and I can only guess.
"A country eroded by the abyss deep in the tomb." She suddenly felt a little scared. The soul-sucking ghosts from the abyss were so powerful. What if it was an entire country eroded by the abyss?
It turns out that there is such a horrible place hidden deep inside this cemetery. Who would dare to go there?
When she told everyone the information, Japar was eager to try it. He dared!
The members of the strategy team exchanged glances and decided that if Japar really wanted to go there, they would find an excuse to leave.
When living, one must clearly recognize one's own strengths and position.
After killing the giant, they finally had time to check out the surrounding situation. The Tomb Plain ended at the city wall. After climbing up the city wall, they saw a ruined city. The city seemed to have been soaked in water for a long time, and the buildings were wet. If they wanted to continue exploring, they should go here.
But where is the third way?
Even though other teams concealed traps and monsters, they wouldn't lie about the route, right?
Could it be that the information is false?
Everyone walked to the bottom of the city wall and searched the surrounding area carefully, but found nothing.
"Those guys are such bastards for giving false information!" Malu kicked a stone angrily.
The stone rolled into the weeds, but at this moment, a collision sound came from it, as if the stone had fallen.
Wait, it fell?
She ran into the weeds, but suddenly her foot stepped on empty air and she screamed subconsciously.
When everyone rushed over, Malu shouted in surprise: "There's actually a road down here!"
The edge of the graveyard plain was a cliff, but beneath a certain section of the edge there was a path hidden by the weeds.
If you take this path you can avoid the archers!
In the middle of the path there is a ladder that can lead to the city wall. If you go up from here, you can attack the giant!
It’s clever, so clever, this design makes everyone feel indescribable.
When you first see the giant and the city wall, everyone would want to rush forward and into the small room, right?
However, the distance seemed to have been calculated. Halfway through the journey, one would be hit in the face by an arrow, and would be seriously injured if not killed.
They were wondering how someone would feel if he was so stubborn as to rush towards the city wall and kept trying, and finally when he was desperate, he accidentally found a hidden path that could avoid arrows.
Is it ecstasy or red warmth? I always feel it is both.
"Teacher, can we go this way?" Leon was eager to try, because in addition to being able to attack the giants, this path could also be walked on forever.
This is the third way, it seems that the information is true.
"I don't care," Japar has always been indifferent.
Everyone jumped onto the path below and walked forward. The road surface continued to sink and gradually embedded into the rock layer on the side. They were moving underground.
Just then, a hurried sound of footsteps came from the front, as if a group of people in armor were running.
Malu squinted her eyes and looked forward. The first thing she saw was a pale skull face.
Wow, it’s a soul-sucking ghost!
A team of soul-sucking ghosts!
She couldn't help but take a step back. The soul-sucking ghost had left a psychological trauma on her. Why did it feel like any scary monster could leave a trauma on her?
Malu took a step back and suddenly remembered that with Japar here, she didn't need to be afraid of the darkness.
But as she stepped back, the ground suddenly rumbled.
When she turned around again, she was shocked to find that.
The road we came here on has collapsed!
