NOVEL NEXT Chapter 57: The gathering of top scholars
The team that explored the Yingui Secret Realm for the second time was much more luxurious than the first time.
The two warriors from the county who were injured during the previous treatment of the ghost problem in the city have recovered. Together with the eight warriors from the state capital, there are a total of 21 warriors on standby.
Since the Yingui Secret Realm is more suitable for shooters, Zhou Yuan still joined the exploration team.
The two extra warriors became the preparation team members, preparing to replace the injured and retired warriors in the battle.
At this point, the exploration team with four shooters and 16 close combat units has taken initial shape, and has the basis for forming two rows of defense lines.
“Everyone, that tide-making ghost is difficult to deal with, so don’t attack it directly.
Let's first spend some effort to clear out the ghosts in the surrounding residential buildings so that there are no ghosts to call out. "
"Captain Jiang has rich experience in attacking, but please give the order. We will follow the order."
With the cooperation of the state warriors, the advancement became extremely smooth.
Even if the [Level 12 Yin Ghost Scribe] triggers a small wave of fifty or sixty ghost ghosts from time to time, it cannot stop the warriors from advancing.
Therefore, [Level 14 Yingui Wenkui] stationed at the Fangjie House is destined to lose his strongest interference skill.
After the ghosts near the house were cleared, even if Wen Kui used the ghost spell, he could not attract many ghosts.
In the end, under the siege of sixteen melee warriors and four precision shooters, he was killed without any splash.
Although Zhou Yuan did not gain much experience in this battle, he still successfully picked up the green light ball dropped by Yin Gui Wenkui.
[Ding, get Wen Kui's Gathering*1, Dark Blood Dew*5]
[Skill: Gathering of Wenkui]
[Introduction: Kui, who fights ghosts, is familiar with "puppet" and weird, and is good at hiding and entangled. Wenkui fights among ghosts, and is good at gathering yin and strong energy. 】
[Effect: After use, you will gain the skill ‘Wen Ju’, which will increase the upper limit of the blue bar a little and add a small amount of mana recovery effect. 】
The effect of ‘Wen Kui’s Gathering’ is more useful to Zhou Yuan than ‘Wu Kui’s Gathering’.
Because it can not only increase the upper limit of the mana bar, but also has a slight mana recovery effect.
If the skill 'Wen Ju' can really automatically restore mana, Zhou Yuan will be completely different for local warriors.
He will no longer need to replenish mana pills to replenish his mana bar. Even if he runs out of mana in a battle, he can rest for a while and replenish his mana bar on his own.
So he used the ‘Wenkui Gathering’ without hesitation and used the accumulated experience to upgrade it to the full level.
Sure enough, with this upgrade, he gained an extra blue bar and gained the ability to gather spirits with great energy.
The blue bar that first appeared was gray, like a waterless container, and then the blue-returning effect of 'Wen Ju' was activated, and the blue bar began to recover slowly and continuously.
Although the introduction of 'Wen Ju' in the attribute panel is a trace amount of mana, this 'trace amount' is enough for Zhou Yuan.
Because he is not always in a fighting state, and spends more time exercising and resting.
The mana regeneration effect similar to passive skills can continuously replenish the mana bar vacancies for him, ensuring that he is full of mana most of the time.
"What are you so happy about?"
Zhou Yuan's relaxed face and smile caught the attention of Shangle County Wei Cheng Fei.
"It's indeed a happy event. Just now I suddenly understood some of the secrets of the 'Blood Fiend Archery', and I seem to have found a direction for my practice."
"Really or not, it seems that your talent for sensing energy is indeed extraordinary, but it is not all a good thing.
Blood evil archery uses Qi to attract blood and then generate evil. Please be careful. If you condense too much Qi and draw too much blood, you may knock yourself out with one arrow. "
"Thank you, Lieutenant Cheng, for your guidance. I won't do anything random."
The two warrior archers from the state capital did not want to pay attention to the chat between Zhou Yuan and Cheng Fei.
But after discovering that it was a topic about blood evil archery, they became interested again, and they all started talking about the most suitable amount of Qi to condense and how much blood to draw without damaging the foundation.
Only then did Zhou Yuan know that the blood-fiend archery technique was widely spread, and warrior archers did not resist violent martial arts that consumed energy and blood.
When the four shooters met to exchange their experiences in attracting blood, the warrior who entered the inner hall of the house also finished exploring and brought out a celadon brush washer shaped like an alms bowl.
The brush was filled with red liquid, with a white and purple flower like a water lily stuck in it.
Zhou Yuan took a closer look and saw that the red liquid was [Netherworld Blood Dew] and the delicate white flowers appeared as [Crystal Lotus].
"Captain, this red liquid is probably the same as the Yinhan black liquid. It has some special effects. It seems that there are many spiritual things in this Yingui secret realm."
Zhou Yuan had Nether Blood Dew in his hand, and he knew that it was the blood-restoring medicine of Yin ghosts and the poison of strangers.
Although it can be used to nourish the soul, it is also a substance certified by the attribute panel for refining elixirs and making poisons.
"Don't touch it. How can a ghost's house produce good things? You should first find a death row prisoner to verify it, and then determine whether it contains spiritual energy."
"Captain Jiang is on the safe side, as it should be."
After the warriors from the state capital delivered the celadon brush wash to the city gate cave, the warrior team gathered again and advanced.
Walking through the house of the civil and military chiefs, a three-story dilapidated wooden building appeared in front of them, with many [12 Ghostly Flower Girls] wandering downstairs.
These ghost flower girls are completely different from the previous ghost warriors. Their attack power is very weak, but they can cause a short-term stun effect.
Such a unique containment ability is highly valued by the warrior team.
The warriors simply stayed in place and waited until the shooters had cleared out all the painted-skinned flowers before taking action again.
Just when Zhou Yuan regarded these ghostly flower girls as control monsters, the [14 ghostly flower girls] in the three-story wooden building taught all the warriors a lesson.
It didn't even have a weapon in its hand. It only used a common skill in the game to instantly disintegrate the formation of the warrior team.
"Damn it, you actually attacked me, die."
The prefectural warrior who was advancing in the front row never expected that the county warrior next to him would stab him without any explanation.
Because everyone formed a formation to fight the enemy, he had no defense against his closely dependent comrades.
Therefore, when his comrades swung their swords at him, he not only had no time to be alert, but also had no space to dodge.
With a swishing sound, the sharp sword cut through the cotton-padded clothes to keep warm, causing the first injury to the warrior team who did not wear armor to adapt to the environment.
The wound caused by the sword went straight from the arm of the prefectural warrior to the elbow, and it was deep enough to see the bone.
This single blow not only caused the prefectural warrior to feel pain and drop the round shield in his hand, but also made him swing the sword in his right hand and launch a fierce counterattack.
In this way, the formation that was still tightly united at the last moment was broken in an instant.
The warriors from the prefecture subconsciously helped their companions, and it was impossible for Jing'an Xiaowei to watch his subordinates being killed.
This chaos not only lingered in the warrior team, but also affected the back row shooters.
Zhou Yuan, Cheng Fei and two state archers turned their bows and locked each other almost at the same time.
Fortunately, the archers were far away and could still maintain their rationality, otherwise the four archers would probably shoot at each other at short distance and all be injured.
"Stop, what are you going to do? Are you taking us into the secret realm just to kill us?"
"Calm down, the internal strife is most likely caused by the demon. Don't be fooled by it. Control the rioters as soon as possible and exit the secret realm to distinguish right from wrong."
As soon as the captain Jing'an finished speaking, a state warrior attacked his companions around him.
The warriors were completely angry now, and they rose up and used their shields to hit the rioters several times.
They didn't control their hands and feet until they knocked them to the ground, and then they prepared to retreat.
"Archers put away their bows and use their secondary swords. Don't be confused by demons and shoot your comrades."
A group of people ran in front, and a ghost courtesan chased behind.
The charm skills commonly seen in games showed their powerful effects at this moment.
