Chapter 9 Necromancers and Vampires
There is a saying among the indigenous (NPC) adventurers of this world:
If you are walking in a pitch-black darkness and have lost the direction of your future, then suddenly a tiny bit of light appears somewhere.
Then, don't hesitate and move in that direction.
Even if there is a trap and despair later, that is the only light you can catch.
The endings in stories are usually good, and behind the light there is often a way out.
Because usually only the living can bring these stories back.
The adventurer himself is a type of character who prays for survival in desperate situations.
And although Wang He is a risk taker, he is not a gambler.
His game is only based on the results of his analysis. If the result is wrong and the risk is exceeded, then he can only find a way to solve it, make up for it, and then move on to the next step.
He is not obsessed with results.
There are only two reasons why the enemy retreats and even releases control of the remaining wolves:
One, it was repulsed by unknown third-party factors.
Second, it retreats voluntarily.
No matter which one it is, it can be judged that the enemy currently does not have the strength to compete with Wang He's team head-on.
This time it was just him and Melikai who took action, and his team consisted of seven people.
It also includes Hongdou Tang, the top player at the top of the rankings.
According to previous information exchanges with Hongdou Tang, her profession is necromancer, a rare profession that summons the undead.
According to Hongdou Tang, a necromancer is a super profession that has been developed to the end, summoning thousands of zombies and skeleton brothers with every move, commanding all kinds of extraordinary elite individuals while talking and laughing, and crushing everything with an army of undead.
As for how much moisture there is in this introduction, Wang He doesn't know.
At the coincidental timing of just repelling the wolves, a rather inducing green flame appeared.
The man behind the scenes seemed to be provoking Wang He: "Come here. If you don't come here, you'll never know what will happen."
Wang He doesn't care about all this. As long as he has the strength, he will step forward to investigate anyway.
Leaving hidden dangers and variables for last is irresponsible to the team.
Led by Wang He, several people quickly arrived near the broken tower. There was a sense of vicissitudes and dilapidation on the broken stone tower.
The incomplete stones on the wall are full of traces of weathering and erosion, and there are also gaps in many places.
The tower itself is a witness to the passage of time.
The people who lived here in those days may now be just a pile of dry bones or a mummy in a grave.
No matter in the game or in reality, time is always ruthless.
Wang He looked up and saw a strange green flame at the top of the tower, as if something was burning.
He turned back and asked Melika: "The undead are famous for their cunning. Goddess Edath, it is not shameful to seek help from friends in times of difficulty. Miss Melika, can you find out what's in the tower?"
Is it abnormal?"
Melikai shook her head, but she was still on alert with her bow and arrow.
Wang He felt relieved, turned to stare at Hongdou Tang, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "Miss Hongdou Tang, now I have to rely on your powerful power to explore."
Wang He had not had any tactical exchanges with her before. As a player ranked 15th in such a large Western civilization world, she naturally has her trump cards and behavioral characteristics.
Artificially restricting these talents in a certain sense has no meaning for a makeshift group.
Wang He just judged that her profession was suitable for this occasion, nothing more.
"Hehehe, you actually want to test such an excellent me? But that's fine, let you see how powerful I am.
"Awaken from the night, warriors of the kingdom of the dead." Hongdou Tang skillfully pulled out a short bone staff from under the crimson cloak and pointed it straight ahead.
As she chanted, a circle made of gray mist suddenly appeared in the space in front of her.
A human skeleton about 2 meters tall and holding a huge bone blade strode out of the ring.
It had no words, no breathing, and did not stay too long in front of everyone. It broke through the gate of the ruined tower and walked towards the tower.
Watching all this happen, Wang He did not move. He just observed Melikai's expression.
Melika noticed his gaze and showed no abnormality, as if she already knew something.
On the other side, due to the obstruction of the wall, the skeleton warrior quickly disappeared from people's sight.
Hong Bean Tang closed her eyes and concentrated, as if she was manipulating something. Not long after, her brows suddenly furrowed, her eyes suddenly opened, the bone staff pointed forward and shouted: "Split the afterglow that burns your soul!"
In the upper part of the ruined tower, the stone wall full of age was torn open by a huge force with a "bang" sound.
The figure of a gray-brown bat was reflected by the firelight on the tower, and it quickly escaped from the gap in the stone wall.
Below, Mielikki's wooden arrow had already been taken off the string, as if it had been pre-positioned, and shot towards the bat's inevitable escape route.
But the bat suddenly turned into a black mist, easily escaped from the inevitable hit of the wooden arrow, and moved quickly towards the tomb.
Under the cover of darkness, it disappeared in an instant.
Wang He's skill casting range is limited and cannot hit or restrain flying species in the air far away.
So what he is doing now is to observe and understand his teammates' skills as much as possible, and think about how to use them in conjunction with himself.
In the blink of an eye, a set of common tactics with Hong Bean Tang had taken shape in his mind.
"It's a vampire. I don't get along well with guys who are afraid of death. If we run away alone, we'll be a loser." Hong Bean Tang shrugged, feeling helpless.
"A vampire? Aborigines, or?" Aphrodite actually answered Hong Bean Tang's words.
It seems that because of the previous events, some of the conflicts between the two over the years have had a chance to ease.
Hong Bean Tang was a little embarrassed, but he shook his head and quickly replied: "I don't know, I can't tell with the shared vision of the undead. Its body is a middle-aged man, and it is a little bit stronger, my servant
It only took one hit and lost most of its health. However, at best it is an opponent that dare not fight head-on, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
"That's right, Miss Aphrodite. It's just an undead man acting alone. If my spell hadn't been ready just now, how could he have escaped?" Hypnos added.
Venus gave him a slightly contemptuous look. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Hypnos, the mage apprentice, simply did not have the strength and foresight shown in his words.
"Obviously, it is inducing us to move towards the tomb. Father Abel, what should we do next? Please give us your instructions." Aphrodite did not take up Hypnos' words, but gave the team the right to move.
Intentionally or unintentionally, it was gathered on Wang He.
Although Wang He is the nominal captain, he is still an NPC in their eyes. For a player with strong autonomy and an internal beta tester, this is a little unusual.
Thanatos carried the ax behind his back and deliberately interjected: "According to me, we should wait for the sunrise as planned."
"Fear adventurers and warriors, don't worry, we haven't seen the last message left by this vampire 'friend' for us yet." Wang He raised his head and set his sights on the tower.
