Chapter 192: 10 Imprisoned Bosses (5K)

Kazan town.

It is separated from the frozen mountains by a stream that cannot be easily crossed.

The town's architectural style is dilapidated and old. As a gathering place rebuilt on the site of a once abandoned town, apart from the pointed bell tower in the town center that pierces the sky like a claw, the houses are generally only one or two stories high.

The sun is extremely impartial to this town. When it rises in the morning, the Moon Mountains in the east will take away its sunlight. In the afternoon, the frozen earth mountains that can divide the entire Rand Kingdom into two halves will immediately hide the sun behind them.

The town of Kazhan only gets a short period of sunlight at noon and is shrouded in gloomy air all day long.

The undead who went to participate in the attack on Star Dragon City were resurrected one by one. They were not treated like the sons of Star Dragon City. It took a lot of effort to get a potion of passage. The hard work was completely different from the undead people in Star Dragon City who could get everything by just farming.

There are almost no NPCs in the entire town. Archbishop Kazhan does not need living people, and there are only dead people wandering around in the town.

If the undead could never truly die and would not turn into corpses, the fate that awaited them would definitely be different from what it is now.

"What should we do now?" The undead gathered together.

"Let's go to the church first."

The Kazan Cathedral was built before the end of the world. Stone pillars with intricate relief patterns are neatly arranged to support the entire cathedral. The magnificent architectural style is completely different from the dilapidated Kazan town.

The sun started from the church's lintel relief of "The Dragon Rider, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" whose head had been chopped off, and its elongated shadow slanted across the ground, forming a black carpet.

It also once belonged to the Church of the Sun before being occupied and becoming the seat of Archbishop Milburn of Kazan.

Behind Moon Hill is a messy cemetery. Curled iron fences surround this cemetery, which is larger than the town of Kazhan and just happens to be the back garden of the church.

The undead people did not find Archbishop Kazhan.

"How to do?"

If Archbishop Kazhan was still alive, they would certainly try their best to fight again. That's how playing games is; it's more exciting and interesting to play in adversity.

Anyway, it won’t hurt and you won’t die.

"Is it possible that he was killed?"

"Impossible! Their strongest is Lind, isn't he only in his twenties?"

"But as far as we know, Lord Leon was over 40 at the time."

Over level 40, stronger than Archbishop Kazhan.

"Vote for it, I also want to enter the pigeon dungeon," someone said, "and did you find that the main storyline is the development of the Star Dragon forces?"

"is it?"

"If we use our own Novice Village, I think it would be a simple BOSS siege. Didn't the official website update also mention it? But Lind is definitely an NPC. There is no doubt that he is the chief of the Novice Village." As players playing in the same area, they will not only study themselves but also the enemies, especially an official favorite like Lind. It is impossible to leave any information about him that can be dug out.

However, every time Lind appears, his strength increases, making it difficult for their intelligence to keep up.

"If the main plot of the Rand Kingdom is changed to the rise of power, it will be appropriate."

Absorbing all forces does seem to be the main line, and the town of Kazhan, as a hostile force, does play the role of a stumbling block.

"Just surrender like that?" Some immortals were still unwilling to accept this.

"We have now fallen back to level 10. Even if we want to surrender, we probably won't be able to reach Star Dragon City."

The disasters around Star Dragon City are indeed being slowly cleared, but the number of undead in Star Dragon City is not large after all, and the power decreases as it radiates outward. Naturally, the farther away from Star Dragon City, the stronger the disaster.

"Is it possible that Star Dragon City will send someone to pick us up?"

Persuading prisoners to surrender is a classic part of the Star Dragon Force. Enter the invitation code to gain points, and then start mentoring new members directly.

Although some people do not want to join Star Dragon City as prisoners, they really have no better choice.

The sound of horse hooves soon brought a group of red-named monsters.

Seeing Lance and others riding on the disaster horses coming aggressively and breaking into the town of Kazhan, the undead people felt a chill in their hearts.

"Fuck, you're not going to abuse the fountain, are you?"

Undead sneak attacks on NPCs are not called sneak attacks, they are just for the fun of the game, and NPCs shouldn't hold grudges.

The undead people of Kazhan Town, who had been discussing whether to join Star Dragon City, still felt that they had the initiative in the choice, until those red-named monsters surrounded them and made them feel something was wrong.

"I remember playing an old game where I was hunted for killing a chicken and ended up having to massacre the entire town."

"Is the town you're talking about called Creekwood?"

Fortunately, the situation was not as bad as they thought. The undead people lined up to enter their information and receive the lion badges. The process was very smooth.

After becoming a "friendly party", the information and red name above the enemy's head will disappear.

"Where did Milburn used to live?" Lance had been keeping an eye on the undead. He could sense their reluctance to join Star Dragon City.

Anyone would be unhappy if they were killed so easily, let alone having to seamlessly announce their joining as a prisoner.

If it weren't for Lind's order, Lance might have formed a siege with his men and launched endless massacres in the town of Kazhan.

Even if the undead can be resurrected infinitely, they can continue to slaughter them indefinitely until they don't want to be resurrected anymore, until they think immortality is just a curse.

An undead man took the initiative to step forward and said, "Master, er, I mean, this way, I'll lead the way, I'm familiar with it!"

The mission to recapture the territory of Kazan Town in Lance went very smoothly, and Morena, who came with the team, also found everything she needed.

It should be a good harvest. Looking at Morena's surprised expression, it can be seen that she has gained too many benefits in the cathedral.

However, Lance didn't plan to go back just like that.

Before setting off, he also asked Lind about his plan to return to Goliath.

Now that he has basically controlled all the forces around Star Dragon City, and has nearly four hundred undeads and an increasingly powerful team of knights, Lind already has the possibility of returning to Goliath.

Lance looked at the undead and said, "You need to go back to Star Dragon City, where you can continue to fulfill your mission as undead."

After receiving the Lion Badge, the attitude of the Undead towards him and others changed drastically. Even though Lance had seen it many times, he was still amazed at their lack of loyalty.

Can peace really be maintained by cooperating with something like this?

If their strength were not much weaker than that of the disaster, perhaps they would be more terrifying than the disaster.

"Sir, what about you?" The undead man did not leave immediately.

"Investigate the way back to Goliath" Lance did not hide it. As a member of several forces, the undead were destined to follow to Goliath.

"We can help!"

"Yes, we are not afraid of death, let us investigate!"

Issuing missions is the style of Star Dragon City.

Lance, who had been following Lind and learning from him, certainly knew how to assign tasks. Almost everyone in Star Dragon City asked to assign tasks every once in a while.

Especially Miko and Brittany, their tasks are the most popular.

However, since Duomei came to Star Dragon City, the most popular person has become the old wizard with white beard. Especially after that great battle, the old wizard holding the two-handed sword has become famous.

Although Lance was not yet qualified to issue tasks in the Lion Badge, it was not difficult to issue tasks by making two copies of the handwritten scroll and then stamping it with his own seal.

After returning, Lance only needs to submit the task to the guild, and these undead people can also receive points.

Receive map development tasks.

Accept the task of investigating the Snake Catcher's Fortress.

The entire group of more than 60 undead people who originally belonged to Kazhan Town all chose to take the initiative to go to the "Snake Catcher Fortress" for investigation.

The moment they received the mission, all the undead couldn't help but sigh. It turned out to be like this when they knew what the reward was before doing a mission.

When they were tired of those games with automatic path finding, they really wanted to play a game that relied entirely on their own exploration. "Ring of Doom" really suited their tastes from the very beginning. Many people even complained about the online game style of Star Dragon City, thinking that those tasks were simply ruining a good game with a strong sense of immersion.

But it still feels very awkward to see others having more and more fun and taking off directly.

If it were a stand-alone game, it would be fine to explore it slowly and experience the novelty on your own, but this is an online game with competitive attributes.

One step behind, every step behind.

They also had an ancient map of the Snake Catcher's Fortress, which showed the route from Kazhan Town to the Snake Catcher's Fortress.

Sixty people set out in a mighty procession.

As they walked, everyone unconsciously dispersed and formed small teams.

"I'll send someone to take you back," Lance said to Morena, "The Master must be waiting for you to bring back good news."

Morena, who always had a cold expression, now smiled. The joy of knowledge harvest pulled the corners of her mouth upwards, and she could imagine that if Lind got the help of these forces, his overall strength would be further enhanced in the future, and he would be more confident to face the existence hidden behind the scenes.

……

"It seems like there's a dead end ahead." I caught Pikachu and held an exquisite hand-drawn map, on which every path leading to the Snake Catcher's Fortress was marked as much as possible.

But when he stood in front of the stream which could be called a landmark, he stopped.

"What's wrong? Isn't there water ahead?" Their team was the fastest. Although they were a temporary team, they were quite familiar with each other. After all, they had been playing games together for a month or two. "Yes, but it's forked." I caught Pikachu and pointed to the stream ahead: "There should be a stream flowing from the northeast to this side..."

He gestured with his fingers: "But it won't split."

The surrounding environment matches, only the stream does not match, which shows that the terrain has changed greatly.

It is easy to hear this not-so-important news from NPCs, such as the end of the world, the shattering of the magic ring, the movement of the world's crust, the disappearance of mountains and the appearance of mountains out of thin air. Not only is the land area changing, but even the ecological environment is undergoing earth-shaking changes.

So if they want to return to Goliath, they only have a general direction, and they have to explore step by step on foot how to act specifically.

Several people looked up and ahead.

According to the markings on the map, they will pass through an area called the Snakeman Basin, then pass the Snakeman Village there to the Snakeman Outpost, then wind south from the Snakeman Outpost, pass through the Snake Catcher Fortress, cross the turbulent water and dangerous peaks that block the road, and successfully return to the central area.

But there was no Snakeman Basin in front of us, instead there were only collapsed mountains and rocks.

"Let's take a detour."

“哑——！”

Just as the few people were about to turn around and leave, they heard a hoarse cry of a strange bird above their heads, and a flying woman's head with its mouth wide open was flying towards them.

[Treasure-stealing banshee, level 8]

Enemy attack!

I caught Pikachu and quickly retreated, opening my mouth to remind my companions to be careful. But when I opened my mouth, I found that my throat could not make any sound!
Silenced!

The woman's head was already in front of them. The skin on her face was loose and had obvious corpse spots. When they got closer, they could smell a distinct stench.

It has a pair of wings behind it, and mouthparts similar to those used for eating insects protrude from its chin.

It's just a bug with the shell of a woman's head.

An undead man was stabbed by the treasure-stealing banshee before he could react. Blood splattered all over the place, and the man was pinned to the ground by the woman's head, who was eating him with relish.

Buzz, the sound of wings flapping in the air became more and more frequent, and the women's heads flapped their wings and flew high into the sky as if a hornet's nest had been poked.

They circled and locked onto me and the others, their rapidly vibrating wings leaving afterimages in the blurry light, and their cracked mouthparts at the chin were shiny black.

The flying speed was very fast, like stones being thrown out, flying towards the people with a whizzing sound that cut through the air.

As the distance got closer, the sound of the flapping wings seemed like a special magic prop that could slow down time. They felt that every moment of their escape was infinitely stretched, but their heartbeats, on the contrary, accelerated.

They opened their mouths and shouted at each other, but no sound came out and they could only see each other's open mouth.

I caught Pikachu and ran away in a panic. There were too many treasure-hunting banshees chasing him from behind, so he could only go in the opposite direction along the water flow, and unknowingly ran from one road to another.

coming!

I caught Pikachu. He instinctively fell forward, and the deafening buzzing sound of wings flew past his scalp. Because the chasing Banshee rushed too fiercely, he almost fell to the ground. He immediately climbed up and pounced on the Banshee, holding her head and pressing her under his body.

"How can I let you get away now?" He pulled out the knife from his body and stabbed the insect that looked like a woman several times.

The foul-smelling juice splashed out and frightened him so much that he quickly shut off his sense of smell.

"Huh!" I caught Pikachu and turned over, holding the motionless head of the Banshee and looking up at the sky.

Finally survived.

But the deafening sound of flapping wings came again, and the number of them, enough to make one's scalp tingle, was approaching quickly.

run!
Don't worry about the direction, just keep running!
When I caught Pikachu and finally got rid of the treasure-hunting banshee behind me, I suddenly found myself standing in front of a canyon sentry post.

There were Rand soldiers patrolling the canyon wearing the same style of armor as the Star Dragon City soldiers.

"Wait, Red Name!"

The undead man, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, wanted to come over and say hello, but suddenly remembered that he was a "regular soldier" wearing a lion badge.

It's the enemy!
"Where's the map? Yes, map!" He fumbled out the map from his body and looked at the markings on the map.

"This should be the snake man outpost. As long as we pass through the snake man outpost and go forward, we will reach the snake catcher fortress."

It seems that only I can complete this task.

Now it was gradually getting dark. As long as he was careful, it wouldn't be difficult to sneak over there. He had even thought of a way to complete the task, which was to just commit suicide and then return to the living point.

The only pity is that he hasn't been to Star Dragon City yet, otherwise resurrecting directly in Star Dragon City would save a lot of trouble.

The first step was to investigate the distribution of forces at the snakeman outpost. The undead, still breathing, quickly hunched over and moved closer. He was a little envious of the assassins from Star Dragon City. If those hooded men came, they would surely be able to sneak in quietly.

But before he could act, the treasure-stealing banshees came after him again.

The shaking bells quickly gathered the defenders of the snake outpost. A large group of treasure-stealing banshees also heard the sound and rushed towards the outpost.

Perhaps it was the treasure-hunting banshees' perception of sound. When the swarming treasure-hunting banshees approached the sentry post, the noisy sound disappeared.

"Fight, fight!"

Now that I have caught a Pikachu, I am so happy that my soul is ascending to heaven. I just squat in the corner and watch the fight between the two red-name players, and then I will take advantage of the situation.

The treasure-stealing banshee who actively charged with her body again ran into trouble. The outer shell of her human head slammed onto the shield of the sentry soldier like a stone.

Some soldiers raised their weapons high and chopped at her, but the treasure-stealing banshee was too agile, and she was only the size of a human head and could fly in the sky, so the swords could not catch up with her at all.

One of the soldiers suddenly opened his mouth, which quickly expanded from his chin and throat like a frog puffing up its cheeks, and then he quickly opened his mouth towards the group of treasure-stealing banshees.

Accompanied by large clouds of green smoke, the treasure-stealing banshee lost her strength and fell to the ground.

After landing, the treasure-stealing banshee's body couldn't stop twitching and twisting.

"Hiss, use poison?" I caught Pikachu and immediately grasped the key information. If I want to pass this level, I must prepare an antidote.

The remaining treasure-stealing banshees also noticed the danger, stopped pestering and turned around and flew away.

Only the undead, who are always hiding, are watching.

"The health bar of the treasure-stealing banshee is not long, so it is easy to kill. However, it will fly in the sky, so you need a tank to lure it out in front, or you need a fast and large-scale long-range attack method."

As for the soldiers at the snakeman outpost.

Looking at the sentry wall that was already shrouded in poisonous fog, and the sentry gate that was wide open and never closed, the undead man had a headache. It would definitely not work to force his way in.

Then the only option is to take a detour.

He looked towards the snakeman outpost. Because it was a wall built at the entrance of the canyon, there were mountains on both sides of the outpost.

One side happened to be a low hill with a not too steep slope.

The undead man who chose to take a detour and continue to inquire about intelligence information crouched and ran quickly to the other end. After selecting a location, the undead man climbed up using his hands and feet. This was not a road, so it was very difficult to walk.

It is not a problem for the undead. No one who plays the game would be willing to follow the road rigidly. If there is no shortcut, create one. If you can get through the blocked road, it will be more enjoyable than eating a piece of watermelon in the hot summer. If you can get through the road while eating watermelon, it will be unprecedentedly enjoyable.

Now the undead who have found the "shortcut" are very happy.

It was completely dark. He had spent a long time in this place. Fortunately, he was about to reach the top, otherwise the wounds and blood loss caused by the collisions between his body and the sharp rocks would have almost killed him.

Finally, we climbed to the top of the hill. Looking to the side from this end, we could see the snakemen sentry patrolling with torches.

Go around it and then enter the Snake Catcher's Fortress.

Thinking of this, the undead man stepped on empty air and subconsciously screamed "Ah", his body rolled into a ball and fell down. Even though the pain in his body was cut off, the "dizziness" debuff still stuck to him.

The undead man sat up, shaking his head and looking forward.

"This looks like a prison cell?"

A small basin-shaped cell built by digging a pit in the hills.

In the cell, pairs of scarlet eyes lit up.

Then came the red names one by one.

[Cameron Howl, Son of Ronan, Level 26]

【…】

[Rich Stinger, son of Ronan, level 26]

[Almert Flamewing, Son of Ronan, Level 26]

"My grass!"

Where have I run to? Why are there 10 red-named monsters? And judging by the length of their health bars and their strength, it seems that each one of them is only slightly weaker than Lind Alman.

The total health point is about 4000, but everyone is in an injured state. Some have only about 2000 health points left, and some have more than .

A group of injured BOSS!

　Thanks to Kongqi for the 100 consecutive rewards of 4, thank you.
