Chapter 104 Seven-Headed Horse Pei Yuanshao
Gu Zhou and Brother Black Eyed Rui continued to conduct reconnaissance. Not only were they level 9 rangers, but they also had full-level Wind Step and Shadow Step. With the blessing of the Hiding Potion, their stealth skills were quite impressive.
"There are more monsters in this place than imagined!"
Brother Black Eyed Rui roughly estimated that there were about seventy magic mountain bandits, in addition to two to three hundred high-level undead, plus some miscellaneous and bizarre abyss monsters.
This is really unexpected.
Overall this isn't a bad thing.
If they could all be eliminated, that would be an astonishing amount of income!
Brother Heitongrui sent a message to Guzhou through the friend window: "The pollution level inside the cottage is higher than outside, and there may be more powerful BOSS monsters hidden in it!"
Guzhou replied: "Go in and have a look."
The two entered cautiously. The scale of this cottage was not very large. The ground was covered with human skeletons, indicating that many people were killed in this place. This may be how the undead people outside came here.
Gu Zhou and Brother Heitongrui didn't worry too much, because as the fog that obscured their vision gradually faded, a figure that was different and even jaw-dropping appeared.
"What the hell is this?"
Brother Heitongrui couldn't help but cursed secretly.
Even Gu Zhou looked shocked when he saw the monster crawling in the center of the village. Although he guessed that there might be a powerful BOSS dormant, no one expected it to be so exaggerated.
This BOSS seems to be a knight with an unusually twisted appearance.
If you look carefully, you will find that describing him as a knight is not quite accurate. He is clearly a centaur and half horse monster.
Of course, it would be a big mistake to think of him as a race of centaurs in fantasy novels or games like Invincible Heroes!
This is not an intelligent centaur.
Rather, it is a monster that is both a man and a horse.
What is the unity of man and horse?
That’s what it means!
The flesh and blood of this guy had deformed and expanded into grid-like tissue. His legs had disappeared and turned into countless flesh and blood tentacles, which merged and grew with the body of the seated war horse.
Man and horse merge!
Although half of the body is still humanoid, it is made up of grill-like pieces of meat, covered with a layer of solid armor. A long halberd is fixed on the right hand by various tentacles and wriggling pieces of meat.
As for the war horse he sat on, it was even more twisted and ferocious. Not only was it several times larger than an ordinary war horse, it had more than a dozen hooves, and its neck had grown and split into seven horse heads.
Each horse head has a big mouth full of rugged fangs, and you can even stuff a football into it.
Such a centaur, half horse, man and horse, a knight with seven demonic horses, exudes a strong sense of oppression, far more than a large group of demonic mountain bandits around him.
[Pei Yuanshao], level 7 commanding unit... Introduction: Once a senior general of the Yellow Turban Army, he later became a bandit leader and became a villain because he completely surrendered to the will of the abyss.
At this moment, the seven-headed horse demon transformed by Pei Yuanshao was crawling in the center of the village and seemed to be sleeping. Gu Zhou and Brother Black Eyed Rui did not dare to get close to avoid disturbing the situation, so they quickly withdrew and returned to the others.
"What?"
"Pei Yuanshao?"
"Why is it him?"
"Another evil villain with a surname!"
"Are we lucky or unlucky?"
The players just wanted to take a small path to bypass the area occupied by the dragon lizards, but they never expected to encounter so many monsters in this place.
It has been almost a year since the dragon lizards arrived in Woniu Mountain. Most of the urban areas and polluted areas have been captured by the dragon lizards, leaving very few resources for the Scourge Legion to kill the BOSS for the first time.
Who would have thought that dragon lizards are so close to each other?
They actually missed such an important monster spawning area.
What's more, such an important evil fall in the abyss was omitted!
Little Lingdang asked: "Who is Pei Yuanshao? Is this person famous?"
Chen Xi replied: "Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang are both generals of the Yellow Turban Army. According to the legend, they fell into captivity together in Woniu Mountain and became bandits. Then they met Guan Yu and were adopted as retainers."
Xiao Lingdang wondered: "Since he is hanging out with Guan Yu, why is he not famous at all?"
Xianyu suddenly explained at this time: "Because Guan Yu took Zhou Cang away first and left Pei Yuanshao to stay there to manage hundreds of bandits waiting to be collected."
"But this Pei Yuanshao has a problem. He is a complete horse fanatic. Whenever he sees a good horse, he wants to take it for himself. As a result, he happened to grab Zhao Yun who was passing by Woniu Mountain. In the end, he was defeated by my idol in just one round. Zhao Zilong was stabbed to death."
So that's what happened.
No wonder I haven't heard of his deeds.
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao are the two bandit leaders in Woniu Mountain.
After Zhou Cang was basically ruled out as the core source of pollution, many players and cloud players began to suspect Pei Yuanshao. Now it seems that Pei Yuanshao cannot be the ultimate BOSS and is at best a secondary pollution source.
So.
Who is the ultimate BOSS in Woniu Mountain?
Could it be that it was really Guan Yu and Zhao Yun who once passed by here by chance?
Midnight pig-killing man: "How about it? Do it or not!"
Hacking a street like crazy: "Do it, you have to do it, why not do it, there are so many elite monsters, it's like a treasure!"
The devil frowned and said: "The risk is too great. Although this Pei Yuanshao is not high in level, he is a commander of the abyss!"
Chenxi nodded: "Ma Yuanyi is also a level 7 commander. Everyone has seen his strength. Although we are much stronger than before, we have no chance of winning against such an existence."
At this time, Zhou Ji spoke: "Although Zhou's strength is limited, if you need it, I will do my best."
Hearing this.
The players were relieved.
"Great, as long as Uncle Zhou is willing to help, we may not be unable to take down this mountain stronghold." Xiao Lingdang said excitedly.
Ye Limeng: "Hahaha, that's right. Brother Zhou is a second-level master. It's great to have Brother Zhou with us this time."
Black Eyed Rui Ge: "Then let's try!"
Artist Party: "Must!"
Ye Limeng suggested: "Just in case, we'd better be fully prepared. I suggest that the essence sealed in the contract be divided in advance."
The players killed 24 dragon lizards and hunted many undead people and monsters in this action. The current essence contract has more than 130,000 essences sealed.
If it is divided among 20 players.
Each player can get at least 6,500 points of energy.
Level 6 players need 2,000 points of energy to upgrade. From this level to level 10, the energy required for each level upgrade is only 1,000 points higher than the previous level.
This means that even if a level 9 player upgrades, it only requires 5,000 points of energy. 6,500 points of energy are enough for everyone present to upgrade at least one level.
However, this amount of abyssal energy does not belong entirely to the 20 main players.
There are a total of 61 participants in today's operation. If the players of the other four teams had not spontaneously sacrificed themselves and attracted the attention of the dragon lizard, it would have been difficult for the main team to get here.
So it is certain that some energy must be given to others.
Of course, even if it is divided like this, it is not a small amount. According to the proportion of contribution and level, plus the voluntary abandonment of some spoils, several top level 9 players can still get about 4,000 to upgrade this attack.
[Ding, you have reached level 10, life +10, energy +10, strength +2, agility +3, spirit +1, will +1! 】
Black Eyed Rui Ge successfully became a level 10 player.
In addition to him, Gu Zhou, Ye Li Meng, Kuang Dao Lao Wang, Chi Mei Wang Liang, and Artist Pai Zong also reached level 10.
In addition, several players including Midnight Pig Killer, Chen Xi, Xiao Ma Ge, and Niu Shisan entered the ranks of level 9 players.
Other players also generally received a level upgrade.
The impact of this level upgrade is not only the increase of attributes, but also affects the skill effects to a certain extent, and weakens the negative impact of the abyss breath.
Although an ordinary level upgrade for an individual cannot make a qualitative breakthrough in strength, a group of people who are upgraded at the same time are enough to raise the team's strength to a higher level.
NPC Zhou Ji was very shocked by the changes in the players.
"Is this the growth ability of the chosen one? This potential is unheard of and too amazing!"
After the upgrade.
The players began to act.
The key to whether the mountain stronghold can be successfully wiped out this time lies in whether the players can wipe out most of the demon mountain bandits before Pei Yuanshao wakes up, so that the threat of the abyss creatures can be reduced to a controllable level.
Otherwise, more than seventy Demon Mountain Bandits would attack together.
It is impossible for only 17 players to hold on.
Even with the help of Zhou Ji, a powerful NPC, the final result is likely to be a miserable victory, not to mention that there are many undead people and BOSS Pei Yuanshao nearby!
Fortunately, both the Demon Mountain Bandits and the Undead have long been in a nightmare and have been subjected to the whispers of the will of the abyss. They have long been unconscious and have no wisdom, and are not much different from ordinary monsters.
The player's strategy is that the ranger pulls the monsters, waits for the monsters to enter the safe range, the warrior goes up to block them, and then the warlock uses the fire arrow spell to solve them one by one.
[You picked up the loot, essence +2500, magic stone fragments +6000, Demon Mountain Bandit Breastplate +1! ]
[You picked up the loot, essence +2500, magic stone fragments +6000, Demon Mountain Bandit Helmet +1! 】
【You picked up the loot, Essence +2500, Magic Stone Fragment +6000, Demon Bandit Sword +1! 】
【……】
The players' battle went very smoothly. Although the drops of the Demon Bandits were not as rich as those of the elite humanoid monsters of the same level, they were numerous and won by quantity, which was a considerable number when accumulated.
In less than an hour.
The crowd wiped out all the Demon Bandits and Undeads near the village. Now there were only 20 to 30 elites left in the village and the Abyss Commander Pei Yuanshao.
There was no doubt.
Although there were already many level 10 bosses among the players.
But even a level 10 player was like paper in front of a level 7 commander.
Black pupil Rui Ge: "Brother Zhou, Pei Yuanshao is in your hands! As long as we can hold him back for three to five minutes, we have a chance to win this battle."
Zhou Ji clenched the long sword in his hand and said with a serious expression: "Although Zhou is not completely sure of dealing with such a monster, it should be no problem to hold him back for a while!"
"Old Pig, don't worry about us for a while, just focus on assisting Brother Zhou Ji!"
"No problem!"
The battle began.
Everyone went directly into the mountain stronghold.
Because the bandits and monsters in the mountain stronghold are very dense, it is difficult to defeat them one by one like outside. The best way is to rush in and eliminate them as quickly as possible.
However.
When faced with everyone forcing their way into the stronghold.
The demon mountain bandits made a little commotion and then strangely quieted down.
Black pupil Rui Ge was not happy to see this situation, but his face became more solemn. These demons have no wisdom and thinking ability. They rely on the instinct of the creatures of the abyss to kill in order to spread the pollution.
When they began to suppress their instincts and become honest.
The biggest possibility is that there is a powerful superior will interfering and manipulating them.
"Be careful!"
"It should be Pei Yuanshao who wakes up!"
Everyone looked at them solemnly and vigilantly.
The giant horse with seven heads and more than a dozen horseshoes crawling in the center of the mountain village was slowly standing up from the ground. In the process, it exuded a strong breath, making everyone feel suffocated and stinging in the spirit and soul.
Pei Yuanshao and Ma Yuanyi are lords of the same level. Although their auras are slightly inferior, they are definitely not something that ordinary players can fight against.
When the deformed giant horse stood up completely.
The player also noticed the human figure on the horse's back.
This must be Pei Yuanshao, but at this moment, he can no longer be defined as a creature in the secular sense. The last time I saw such a twisted and deformed monster was Ma Yuanyi at the Luoshui execution ground.
"The running dog of the stars?"
Pei Yuanshao made a low and filthy voice from his grid-like hollow flesh, and then a large amount of black smoke poured out of his body, instantly covering the sky above the entire mountain village, making the entire environment dark and gloomy.
Hundreds of undead people and demon mountain bandits became agitated, and they were obviously ready to rush forward and fight quickly.
"Fierce Tiger Roaring Slash!"
Zhou Ji directly slashed a burning tiger-shaped blade and hit Pei Yuanshao.
-
115 (Critical Hit!)
Seeing this, the warlocks such as the demons, the little bell, and the green fox were all very excited. Just like the situation encountered before, Pei Yuanshao was relatively weak to fire like the demon mountain bandits.
Dealing with such a monster.
It won't work if you act recklessly.
Let the NPC contain it first.
After the players have cleared the other monsters, they will focus on him.
At this time, Pei Yuanshao turned into black mist and moved forward quickly. The long halberd fixed in his right hand by a large number of tentacles and pieces of meat was swung like a normal person at this moment. The violent attacks gave people a sense of oppression.
…………
At the same time.
Luoshui Base Camp.
Hang Yu paid attention to the players' actions throughout the whole process.
"There is actually an Abyss Commander! The players really made a lot of money this time!"
Hang Yu didn't expect the players to be so lucky. They just happened to find a hidden monster area and Pei Yuanshao, a very critical small BOSS. If he could be taken down directly, the loot alone would be amazing.
Hang Yu continued to observe.
There was no plan to take action.
The main reason was that the distance was too far and there was no teleportation point. He was willing but unable.
Hang Yu was confident in the strength of these players, not to mention that there was an NPC Zhou Ji fighting side by side on the scene. This battle should not be a big problem. He also looked forward to the performance of the players in this battle and the rich drops of the commander unit!
