Chapter 32: Chapter 31 The Power of General Dead Bone (Please Follow & Vote! )_1
Translator: 549690339
Mu Yuan had naturally informed General Dead Bone about the gargoyles early on – – the only being in the entire territory he could communicate with normally.
His idea was simple, as long as Dead Bone felt capable of taking them on, the risk was probably within a tolerable range.
Back then, Dead Bone had the skill of Undead Resurrection, making the campaign seem more robust.
Not to mention, they could let ‘Bone Two’ act as bait, attract enemy fire… even if he accidentally died, it didn’t matter, he could be resurrected.
Of course, Mu Yuan wasn’t a devil. If he had the ability, he still wanted to try to save ‘Bone Two’.
Half an hour later, after making thorough preparations, Mu Yuan, had already brought Dead Bone, ‘Bone Two’, and nine other Skeleton Soldiers, along with a few Big Slimes that had just evolved and were ready to be meat shields at a critical moment, to several hundred meters away from the broken tower.
In the dense forest, Mu Yuan switched between his old and new Battle Falcons, carefully observing the situation.
The gargoyles appeared to be deeply asleep.
However, it was broadly believed that if any one of them was attacked, the others would wake up simultaneously.
While pondering, he slowly moved forward under the protection of Dead Bone. Before the official fight, he needed to make his final confirmation.
He needed to confirm the level of these gargoyles.
He had to use the built-in monster identification ability of the players.
Even though he was 99% sure that these gargoyles were far from the Professional Level.
The player’s inherent monster information identification provided great convenience in the early stage of exploration.
However, it seemed that it wouldn’t be possible to identify a higher level… That is to say, monsters that were too high in level, as well as troops under the control of other players, couldn’t be identified either.
It was only used in the early stages.
It helped the players to judge the strength of the enemy, so as not to recklessly engage an enemy that was obviously stronger.
In the latter stage, it was time to use paid items.
While pondering, Mu Yuan finally sneaked close enough, looking at the sleeping gargoyles, he squinted his eyes a little.
He selected, and observed!
Within a moment,
“Gargoyle (Rare ★): Level 6 of Zero-order.”
“Gargoyle (Rare ★): Level 5 of Zero-order.”
“Note: This was originally a ?? level Gargoyle, but it exhausted its energy over the long years, its level dropped continuously and became the Gargoyle Q-version.”
Just this? Is that it?
At least half of the gargoyles’ levels were lower than Dead Bone’s!
Used to fighting higher level monsters, Mu Yuan felt a little unaccustomed to face enemies whose ranks and levels were lower than Dead Bone’s.
Of course, even when facing weaker enemies, you can’t be reckless, let alone face eight gargoyles that aren’t weak at all.
They were Rare Rank Troops.
Moreover, they could fly.
If they went against the previous Goblin Camp, they could wipe out dozens of goblins in an instant.
It wasn’t that they were weak, just, they weren’t as strong as Dead Bone.
Except for Dead Bone, among the other troops, only ‘Bone Two’ could win a one-on-one battle.
“The gargoyles are known for their extreme defences, especially in magic resistance, and they can fly.”
“Luckily, both Dead Bone and Bone Two have ranged attack capabilities, and the gargoyles are melee troops. If a real battle begins, ‘Bone Three’ and ‘Bone Four’ and others could also join in to slash them.”
Before the fight started, Mu Yuan slowly moved back, retreating to a place a kilometre away, where he couldn’t even see the broken tower.
Next to him were two Skeleton Soldiers and the big meat shield, Duo Lai.
Especially the latter, his round, gigantic body gave Mu Yuan a strong sense of security.
Unable to see the battlefield, Mu Yuan wasn’t worried. There were two Battle Falcons lurking in the distance, broadcasting the battlefield situation for him at any time.
As for the command, he didn’t need to worry about that either.
Although he, Mu Yuan, had exquisite micromanagement skills, was good at moving Skeleton Soldiers thirty centimeters to the left, he was still constrained by the computer medium and the IQ.of the Skeleton Soldiers. When it came to on-site commands, he was just a bit inferior to Dead Bone who was on the battlefield.
He left it all to Dead Bone.
Off in the distance, Dead Bone and ‘Bone Two’ were gesturing.
‘Bone Two’: GOGOGO, charge.
Dead Bone: Charge your bone, just stay calm!
Without calling anyone, Dead Bone alone sneaked to a hundred meters in front of the broken tower.
Their eye sockets reflected the horrifyingly distorted and loathsome images of gargoyles, each having nine thousand nine hundred reasons to die.
Slowly, Dead Bone pulled three silver spears out of his back. Energy surged along his skeletal arm, pouring into these three firm and incredibly sharp bone spears.
The bone spears, which were a perfect match for him, began to hum.
A terrible aura, which seemed to drag all enemies into an abyss, burst out from Dead Bone and seemed to engulf the surrounding world into darkness.
At the same time, perhaps intimidated by this powerful presence, the eyes of the gargoyles nearby began to glow.
Dust fell off their bodies, and they began to tremble, making the earth shake as well. It seemed as if they would awaken at any moment.
But!
However!
The silver bone spear was suddenly thrown, piercing through the air like a fired bullet, unleashing shockwaves of white air and emitting a sharp tearing howl. In a split second, it brutally impacted a gargoyle that was about to awaken.
It… pierced and shattered it!
Boom
The entire gargoyle exploded, gray-black fragments splattered, and its broken half-wing spun in the dust before finally cracking and breaking.
This was not the end, but just the beginning.
Dead Bone, who threw the terrible spear, did not pause and triggered two more bursts.
Triple Bone Spear Throw!
Eight Gargoyles had just awakened from their sleep, and three were destroyed, leaving no complete corpse behind.
They were left completely bewildered.
Where are my companions? Where are all my many companions? Why did they disappear the moment I opened my eyes!
At this time, the deafening explosion sound only just began to echo in the distance, startling flocks of birds.
A moment ago,
Several players were riding Seat Wolves through the forest near the southern side of the broken tower, about several kilometers away. Various troops like Spearmen, Archers, guards, Skeleton Soldiers, and Big Goblins surrounded them, killing monsters that darted out of the forest.
“We’ve already ventured deep into the wilderness. Are we there yet, Boss?” one of them asked.
“Almost there, according to the map, our target, the Mage Tower, is not far ahead… Even though so many years have passed, the Mage Tower might not exist, and we might end up empty-handed, but—- ”
“But as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, it’s worth our effort.”
“Without fighting, we can only waste half of our lives like other players. Are you content with just seeing the corner of the Supernatural World and not being able to enter it?”
“When will we be able to rise to the Professional Level and experience the scenery of the Eternal World firsthand if we don’t fight?”
“We players with humble backgrounds can only fight, and this ancient map we found by chance may be both our best and perhaps our only chance!”
We fight until we can’t fight anymore!
The eyes of the players burned with determination.
They were veteran players who had been in the game for half a year, but they were still small fish among the players. They couldn’t even afford a piece of breakthrough material.
They didn’t want to live like this anymore.
They wanted to take it one step at a time, one step at a time, until…
Boom !!!
The thunderous noise came from a distance, shaking the leaves to rustle.
The veteran players were surprised and panicked. They had left the realm of human territory and ventured deep into the wilderness, and their greatest fear was encountering an undefeatable monster.
And now…
“It’s the rare ranked troops, Gargoyles!”
A player who had inherited the Archer Profession Level with excellent vision shouted, “And that direction… seems to be our destination?”
The moment he finished speaking, a silver-gray figure suddenly climbed up into the air, pulled out a huge sword, and slashed at the Gargoyle flying not far away, leaving a several-meter-long black sword aura.
The hard gargoyle body cracked! It broke and then shattered!
Under this black sword aura symbolizing death, it was cut in two with one strike!
Boom
Another explosion came from the distance, shaking the frail minds of the few players.
They looked at each other, their eyes met, they wanted to speak but stopped, shivering with fear.
In the end, the Archer player opened his mouth and said, “Boss, are we still fighting?”
“Hmph! Today, I will teach you the fourth lesson. As players from humble backgrounds encountering this kind of sudden situation …
“We should back off when we should.”
“This is called being rational..”
