Chapter 171 The Dawn of Victory
Even with the burst of life of the Yihua Earth Knight, coupled with the power of the half-dead witch body, if one is negligent and is entangled by the kelp tentacles of a large number of third-class undead drowning resentful ghosts, it will be difficult to break free for a while.
By then, he was unable to move, and faced with the frequent spear throwing of death by the two dead men, he could only retreat in despair.
Although in Yi Hua's opinion, relying on the untested shadow shuttle of the third-class half-dead witch body, it might be possible to shuttle directly to the dead horse after approaching the dead horse, but this would be too risky.
Out of caution, Yihua decided to send his undead men first to get rid of the more than ten drowned resentful ghosts surrounding the first dead horse.
As Yihua's thoughts moved, ten faceless shadows and ten fearful shadows disappeared out of thin air among the surrounding undead.
The next moment, these twenty third-level undead souls instantly appeared around the drowned resentment ghost surrounded by the first dead body.
Compared to the ten fearful shadows that directly wielded giant scythes in close combat, the safe distance maintained by the faceless shadows was much further.
With its fear tentacles, it can extend an ultra-long attack distance of tens of meters.
The other ten faceless shadows dispersed tens of meters away from the corresponding ten drowned ghosts, and suddenly ejected the black flame tentacles behind them, stabbing at the drowned ghosts not far away.
Puff puff!
A muffled sound of sharp weapons piercing flesh resounded throughout the surrounding sea. Ten faceless shadows instantly stabbed the drowned resentful ghosts on the opposite side into a hornet's nest.
But for the drowned resentful ghost with high immortality, unless the entire body is shattered.
Just punching a few holes in his body poses no threat to his life, and even his combat ability has no effect at all because his tentacles are intact.
On the other side, with the sharp scythes in their hands and concentrated firepower, the ten fearful shadows cut off all the tentacles on the bodies of the two drowned ghosts in just a few seconds, rendering them incapable of fighting.
The Faceless Shadow, which is supposed to be stronger, is not as effective in killing the drowned ghosts as the much weaker Fearful Shadow.
The completely different results caused by the two undead in front of him also made Yihua deeply feel the restraint effect between different undead.
The undead under the necromancer's command cannot blindly pursue strength. Through reasonable matching, some weaker undead can completely exert the effect of one plus one being greater than two, surpassing the powerful undead.
Drowned ghosts that can wrap around their tentacles and use the power of death to corrode their enemies are equivalent to brute-force undead such as poisonous snakes and sky-defeating skinners.
But when facing a fearful shadow with a flexible body, extremely high damage, and the ability to cut off the tentacles of drowning ghosts with one blow.
In the eyes of the brute-force undead, the extremely powerful drowned resentful ghost is like a harmless straw rope. It can only have its tentacles cut off one after another by the fearful shadow, losing its ability to fight.
Like the Faceless Shadow, although its attack and speed have been greatly improved compared to the Terror Shadow.
But the scythe that was originally capable of cutting off the tentacles of the drowning ghost has become a tentacle that can also entangle and pierce.
This makes the faceless shadow unable to cause effective damage to death or paralysis in a short period of time when faced with the undead with strong survivability and high immortality such as the Drowning Ghost.
Realizing the restraint factor among the undead, Yihua decisively removed the faceless shadows from the battlefield and replaced them all with fearful shadows.
Relying on the two dead men and horses locking him, Yihua temporarily stayed away from the undead troops who were locked in a fierce battle with the drowned resentful ghosts, causing several dead spears to miss.
Within ten seconds, all the tentacles of the drowned resentful ghosts on the surrounding battlefield were cut off by twenty fearful shadows, and they completely lost their ability to fight.
In this way, Yihua can implement the next plan.
Yi Hua jumped, relying on the terrifying explosive power of the Earth Knight, to easily jump to an altitude of nearly 20 meters, narrowly escaping the spear thrown by the first dead horse.
At the same time, he felt that the second dead horse thousands of meters away was about to throw a spear at him.
Without the obstruction of the drowned resentful ghost, his eyes flashed, and his body, which was originally in mid-air and barely had time to avoid, instantly ignited with pale flames.
Everything happened in just an instant. While activating the ability to travel through shadows, Yihua's body disappeared in the burning flames.
The next moment, Yihua, who had disappeared without a trace, turned into a body of pale flames and appeared next to the first dead horse, less than two meters away.
Feeling Yi Hua appearing out of thin air beside him, the dark green huge vertical pupils on the skull of the first dead horse suddenly turned, staring at Yi Hua beside him.
Since they had just thrown the Death Spear, the first Death Horse had just exhausted its old strength and had not yet developed new strength. It was unable to use the most powerful Death Spear to defend against the enemy.
So he could only raise his front hooves and try to trample Yihua.
Feeling that the second Decline Centaur in the distance locked onto him again after he cast Shadow Shuttle, and was about to throw the Decline Spear again, Yihua not only did not panic at all, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, this is exactly what Yihua wants.
If it were before, even if he relied on the life explosion of the earth knight and the superposition of the power of the half-dead witch body, Yihua's power would still be slightly inferior when faced with the trampling of the dead men and horses.
But now that the half-dead witch body has been promoted to the third level, relying on the half-dead shaman body, each of which is as powerful as its own fear tentacles with a full blow, Yihua already has the confidence to challenge the Decline Troopers head-on.
Before the front hooves of the first dead horse in front of him landed on Yihua, semi-illusory tentacles burning with pale flames suddenly shot out from behind Yihua.
Together with the holy light technique added to Yihua's hand, the cross sword flashed with bright golden light and slammed into the front hooves of the dead horse.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye -
bang!
The terrifying forces collided together, causing a vacuum zone covering several meters in radius to briefly appear on the water that was enough to cover Yihua's thighs.
But in an instant, the seawater containing a huge amount of death power poured back again.
The first fallen centaur, after receiving six attacks at the same time, reached the critical point of the Earth Knight, which was comparable to Yihua's previous all-out blow, and even slightly exceeded his own strength.
The huge body leaned back slightly, briefly losing its balance.
Seeing this, and feeling the highest sense of crisis in his heart, Yihua did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately launched the Shadow Shuttle again to evacuate into the distance.
Yi Hua's figure just disappeared from the place accompanied by the burning pale flames, and the dead men and horses in front of him also regained control of their balance.
However, it was too late.
Yi Hua, who had just teleported a hundred meters away, could only barely catch a wisp of dark green light hitting Yi Hua's previous location, where the first dead centaur was, even with the eyesight of an earth knight and a third-class wizard apprentice.
Such a short time did not even allow Yihua in the distance to think.
boom!
Violent vibrations came from the surrounding sea. Yihua looked at where he was before and saw that the huge body of the first dead horse had already been obscured by a huge dark green mushroom cloud filled with the power of death.
Before the Death Spear exploded, the dark green mushroom cloud dissipated, and an angry roar like a beast resounded through the sky.
Roar!
In the blink of an eye, the thick gray-green fog covering a radius of tens of meters, mixed with the power of death and decay, was blown away by a sudden force.
After the thick fog that blocked Yi Hua's sight dissipated, a dead man and horse that had lost the upper half of its body, leaving only the lower half with dark purple flesh and blood, and a skeletal body exposed on its face, was revealed in front of them.
"It seems that the calculation was correct. The spear of the second dead horse just hit the upper part of the first dead horse!"
Seeing that the plan went as expected, Yi Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
The humanoid upper body of the Decadent Horse has the most powerful offensive ability, and it is also the weakest part of the Decadent Horse.
"Next, how will the first undead horse attacked by the same type of undead react?"
According to previous experience, low-level undead will fight back when attacked by other undead.
If this is the case, then Yihua can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and let the two fallen horses kill each other.
In this way, it will not only save the need to carry a large number of precious scrolls with you, but also greatly reduce the loss of the undead under your command.
Unfortunately, in the end, the scene Yihua expected did not happen.
Perhaps because he is close to the fifth level, he is no longer far away from being a first-level undead with real intelligence and comparable to a formal wizard.
The fallen centaur, a fourth-level undead, once again let out an angry roar.
I don't know whether it is declaring the sovereignty of the prey, or warning the same kind that attacks itself.
In short, just as the first fallen centaur roared, the second dying centaur's sense of spying on Yi Hua completely disappeared.
Seemingly sensing the threat of its own kind, the declining centaur in the distance decided to temporarily give up participating in the battle and chose to wait and see what would happen.
Although the result was a bit unexpected, it was also a good thing for Yihua.
The first fallen centaur loses the body that can throw the dying spear, and the second dead centaur no longer participates in the battle.
This means that Yihua has lost the Death Spear, a threat that is extremely lethal and difficult to avoid.
Before the dead man and horse in front of him could come to his senses, Yi Hua immediately mobilized twenty faceless figures to surround the dead man and horse in front of him.
The other party seemed to be aware of the threat of the surrounding faceless shadows, and decisively strengthened its own aura of decay.
This move also caused Yihua's own life energy and the illusory body of the Faceless Shadow to be depleted at a speed visible to the naked eye once it was within tens of meters around it.
"Wait a minute, the range of the Decaying Spiritual Light... doesn't seem to be as wide as the extension range of the Faceless Shadow's fear tentacles?"
After a simple calculation, Yi Hua estimated the distance gap between the two sides, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
This means that the Faceless Shadow can stay at a safe distance that is not covered by the light of the Decline Spirit, and use its fear tentacles to continuously attack the Decline Centaur!
