Chapter 59
"Be careful, don't go over there yet!"
A familiar voice came from his side, and Ye Bai was startled. His scalp went numb, and he subconsciously took a big step back into the corridor behind him.
"clatter."
This step back touched the gravel on the floor of the corridor, making an extremely slight sound.
Having just spent the entire night struggling with this voice, Ye Bai was not so far from forgetting who the other party was. She looked in the direction of the voice, but did not find the familiar figure of the "second dimension" brother in the corridor in the direction of her hand.
At this moment, Ye Bai heard footsteps approaching from a distance, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of metal chains rubbing against each other.
Ye Bai was not unfamiliar with this sound. In the cities of Melo and Tut, when he passed by the guards wearing heavy metal armor in the city, he could hear similar footsteps.
——Some creature is coming towards Ye Bai’s location.
Appearing in this Dragonborn settlement, and wearing armor, they must be Dragonborn guards. Oh, of course, now they should be called Undead Guards. Being able to serve as a first-level guard, their level must be at least 40, and they are very likely to be elite templates.
Oops!
Ye Bai cried out in her heart. The strange human figure seemed to be reminding her that the guards were coming, but it was precisely because of his reminder that she was startled and made a slight noise. Now the other party seemed to be attracted by the sound.
Ye Bai was immediately shocked and angry, but then she thought that she could not blame the strange human figure. If he had not reminded her, she would have gone out to chase the donkey.
If I had walked down the outer passage, I would probably have been discovered by the guards by now.
However, although we are now in the ruins, it is still daytime. The perception of undead creatures will be greatly weakened during the day, and their alert range to the enemy will be smaller than at night.
Realizing that the other party was approaching, Ye Bai immediately blew out the candle in his hand, and stood in the corridor with the help of the fluorescent light projected from the passage. He retreated step by step as if in slow motion.
Thanks to the light feather effect, her backward movement made no sound at all.
Compared to vision, undead creatures are more sensitive to sound. As long as the distance is enough, Ye Bai can see the other party, but the other party may not be able to "see" her.
Just to remain silent, Ye Bai's movements were always slow. Even though he was retreating, the overall distance he moved was very small. However, the guard wearing heavy metal armor was gradually approaching.
“Tick, tick, tick…”
Heavy footsteps sounded between the passages, getting closer and closer.
The air around Ye Bai seemed to become sticky, the tension was suppressed to the extreme, and thin beads of sweat seeped from the tip of her nose.
But the more this happened, the calmer Ye Bai's mind became.
Even though he could tell that the unknown dragon-born undead guard had reached the edge of the corridor where he was and would appear in his sight if he took another step forward, Ye Bai's brain still made rational judgments like a machine. He did not panic, but continued to maintain his previous posture and slowly retreated.
"despair."
The faint light coming from the passage ahead was partially blocked by a tall figure, and half of the dragonborn undead guard's body was standing at the entrance of the corridor.
Along with the breeze in the passage, the gloomy and decayed smell on it also came over, making Ye Bai frown uncontrollably.
At this moment, she also saw the other party's side profile. It was a tall humanoid creature covered in scales, emitting a faint blue undead flame. It was estimated to be at least three meters tall. The corridor was lower than the passage outside. From this angle, she could only see the other party's shoulders and chin.
Calling it the chin is not accurate enough, because the place where the chin should be is now half broken, with a rotten hole. It is unknown what accident or battle caused it.
However, for undead creatures, as long as the soul fire has not been extinguished, the appearance and other things are just Lego blocks, and they can be used as long as they can be connected, and it doesn't even matter whether they are "original" or not.
From the appearance, Ye Bai recognized that the guard should be a sub-dragon person, and the corridor she was in at the moment was dug by the dragon-scale people, who were of a lower status among the dragon descendants, so her height did not match the other party's.
Seeing this situation, Ye Bai used an insight from a distance.
Argonian Guardian Undead
Level: 5?
Health: ??? / ???
Skill:? ? ?
Weaknesses: Light, Fire, ???
This is an undead monster above level 50. Although its health is only in the four digits, it is a unit wearing heavy armor. Its strength lies not in its health but in its defense. Ye Bai's spell penetration at level 20 means that the opponent will not lose much health at all.
Not to mention, 1000 is a four-digit number, and 9999 is also a four-digit number, and the two are not the same concept when typed together.
The Argonian guarding the undead stopped in front of the corridor, looking confused and uncertain.
Ye Bai clenched the snow-colored sword and magic scroll in his hands.
Ye Bai is not unable to deal with a single dragon guarding the undead. She can easily kill him like she did with the boss. But the trouble is that this is the ruins of a dragon settlement. As a guard responsible for patrolling, he will call his companions when he finds the enemy.
This is the trouble with humanoid monsters. They have intelligence and strategy. Although undead creatures have no brains, their intelligence and strategy are several levels lower. However, undead also have advantages. They are fearless and communicate quickly. High-ranking undead can convey orders to their subordinates through the mental network. This is where the so-called horror of the undead plague lies.
The undead are considered one of the most promising races among the six major races, but their weaknesses are too obvious, and they require a large number of corpses of strong people to form, so they cannot easily become a force to be reckoned with.
Ye Bai's mind raced as he suddenly thought of something else - if it was true as the strange human figure vaguely revealed, and the six major clans in the God Realm were all destroyed, then the Undead Clan would probably take the stage for dominance in the God Realm and become the largest and most terrifying force.
At this moment, the undead guarding the Asian dragon paused for a moment, then moved and turned around again.
Ye Bai expected the other party to return after finding nothing, but just as it turned to this side of the corridor, it stopped again.
“Crash…”
Ye Bai saw the undead dragon guard bend his knees and stick his head into the corridor.
Two points of soul fire danced in the other person's eye sockets as he looked at Ye Bai.
In Ye Bai's sight, a wide elite monster health bar slowly unfolded, even exceeding the width of the corridor, and directly "passed through" the stone walls on both sides.
The health bar is so long that it's 'through the model', right?
At this point, Ye Bai could only complain in his heart, silently starting to cast the Arrow of Light, preparing to pull the opponent out of the tunnel.
If she ran fast, she could escape from here before more undead came after her, but she couldn't care less about the donkey.
However, in the next moment, Ye Bai suddenly saw that the undead guard of the Asian dragon stopped moving, and the two flames in his eye sockets jumped for a moment, and the exposed blood bar retracted, as if just to scare Ye Bai. After the scare, he retreated out of the corridor the same way he came.
Ye Bai looked at this scene in some surprise, and immediately interrupted the reading to avoid launching an attack and attracting monsters.
The undead dragon guards retreated from the corridor and looked at the lower part of the passage outside, which was the huge door that Ye Bai had leaned out to look at before, through which the donkey entered.
This time, without any hesitation, the other party took a big step forward and walked towards the bottom of the passage. The frequency of its steps was much faster than before, even jogging, as if something more important attracted it.
Could it be that the donkey made some noise?
Ye Bai was filled with confusion and worry, then he remembered the strange human figure who had spoken before. He came to his senses and searched the wall of the corridor where he had heard his voice before.
However, with the dim light from the passage, Ye Bai did not see any marks on the surrounding stone walls. Just as she was hesitating whether to light a candle and look carefully, the familiar voice sounded again:
"I'm here! I'm in your hands."
Ye Bai: “……?”
On hand?
Ye Bai lowered his head to look at his hands. The snow-white sword in his right hand shone brightly, while the magic scroll in his left hand was ready to go... the magic scroll!
Conventional magic scrolls are made of specially treated parchment, and then painted with magic inscriptions using magic potions. Just like the dragon language characters carved on those boulders, which are also dragon language magic, the magic inscriptions themselves are indeed a special kind of text that contains energy.
So... with a skip in her heart, Ye Bai saw a human figure made up of lines of magic inscriptions on the rolled-up cover of the magic scroll in her hand, which had been kept in her backpack and had just been taken out. It was produced in the city of Melo in the netherworld and was making a familiar waving gesture to her.
Because only the outer strip of the rolled-up parchment scroll was visible, the proportion of the human figure was reduced a lot. In the dim light, Ye Bai held the scroll closer, and only then could she clearly see the strange human figure on it, which was not even the size of her palm.
Moreover, the painting style has changed this time. Perhaps it is due to the relationship between the supporting material and the text style. It is no longer the "stick figure" carved on the white stone of the Dragon Tomb Ruins.
This time, under the style of the inscription written by the black magic potion, Ye Bai saw the other party's simple long hair and facial features composed of lines, and changed from a stick figure to simple lines... The style of painting really became "two-dimensional".
It's outrageous. It's outrageous to open the door. It's outrageous to the extreme!
Ye Bai was completely dumbfounded. She was not too surprised by the strange human figure appearing here. After all, in addition to throwing out a big task that was obviously a trap, the other party also mentioned the dragon clan's treasure house. What surprised her was the way the other party appeared.
I originally thought that this guy was just a 'two-dimensional' creature that could only appear on the wall, but now I find that he can actually turn into a 'paper man', a true paper man!
And this was the magic scroll she had just taken out of her backpack. How did this guy catch up with her? Could he also break through her backpack like the donkey?
How could the creatures in the divine world be so unethical!
At the same time, as Ye Bai approached, the other party withdrew his hand somewhat stiffly, and two unclear horizontal bars appeared on the "face" outlined by a circular line.
When the strange figure spoke again, his voice seemed a little embarrassed:
"Well, you might be a little too close..."
"ah?"
Ye Bai was stunned for a moment before he realized what the two extra horizontal bars meant, and immediately complained - you are blushing like a bubble teapot!
