Chapter 16: Melee (please read)
Stab!
Stab again.
One step forward and another stab!
Under the command of the skull leader, Combat Team 3 holding a spear stabbed out the spear in his hand again and again.
Every thrust would hit the black figure accurately.
There are so many of these black figures that the skeletons of the combat team don't need to look at the enemy's position at all. The spears can always hit one or two enemies.
Because of the size of the skeletons, their spears were pierced into the enemy's chest. Sometimes with a little more force, they would pierce two or three enemies.
After three times, a black figure finally couldn't withstand the attack of the skeleton and fell down.
[Skeleton (summon) kills Shadow (level 2), you get 1 experience point, the combat team gets 1 experience point, and the summons gets 8 experience points. 】
The moment the sound rang out, Gu Xi took action at the place where the black figure fell.
"Secondary Corpse Explosion."
Only when Gu Xi's mana landed on the black figure, he heard a pop, and the fallen black figure disappeared like a bubble.
Not to mention the explosion, he only heard the sound because he had to pay attention to it.
This made Gu Xi quite unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The fact that there was no body after the mysterious shadow was killed was something Gu Xi could not change.
In desperation, Gu Xi could only change his plan. His outstretched hand changed from pointing outward to drawing inward.
Just then another prompt sounded.
[Skeleton (summon) kills Shadow (level 2), you get 1 experience point, the combat team gets 1 experience point, and the summons gets 11 experience points. 】
Gu Xi used the inward movement to grab some soul fragments.
There is a soul but no body?
What a strange situation.
Gu Xi didn't think too much and just focused on the battle ahead.
Extracting souls is the most basic skill of all necromancers. It does not require mana consumption and can be easily done as long as an enemy dies.
Anyway, corpse explosions can't be used now, and Gu Xi doesn't have the Death City to release a soul summoning tower to help extract souls. Now extracting some souls to use as materials for subsequent spells can be regarded as a job when he is idle and bored.
After all, Gu Xi didn't know what kind of enemies he would encounter in the next two waves, so he always had to keep something in hand.
Either enough mana, enough souls, or enough skeletons.
When Gu Xi was withdrawing his soul, many more black shadows died under the spears of the skeletons. However, at this time, more and more black shadows were crowding in from nearby, and they had already broken through the roadblocks randomly arranged by the skeletons. , you can even hit the skeletons of Battle Team 3.
"Combat Team 4 steps forward to block. Combat Team 1, go around to the back. Skirmishers and skeletons take action. One circle of roadblocks is not enough. Won't you guys put more roadblocks in place?" Looking at the situation in front of him
, Gu Xi couldn't help but order again.
Even things like extracting souls had to stop.
Gu Xi found that the boss-level undead were still a bit stupid, and their brains were only slightly better than those of ordinary skeletons, yes, but relatively limited.
Without Gu Xi's instructions, they would sometimes stand still and not know what to do.
At this time, Gu Xi must arrange the enemy from the perspective of a commander, and even think clearly about when to attack and when to retreat.
Otherwise, these undead will have a situation where one troop is fighting tooth and nail in the front, while the remaining troops are watching from behind.
It would be better if Gu Xi's undead were stronger.
But most of these undead are level 0 skeletons, not even skeleton soldiers.
All they faced were level 2 shadows. It was okay if they didn't take action. As long as they did, the level 0 skeletons were no match for them. This can be seen when Combat Team 4 goes up.
Because Combat Team 3 was relatively far away and there were roadblocks, they did not have a direct conflict with the Shadow.
But Combat Team 4 is different. They use swords and shields. Frontal defense is their fighting method. The weapons they hold prevent them from attacking from a distance.
So Battle Team 4 was hit by the Shadow immediately.
In the first moment, ten skeletons were killed on the spot.
Just when these skeletons were dying, Gu Xi also took action.
"Second corpse explosion!"
Gu Xi pointed to the position where the skeleton fell. In the absence of a corpse, the corpse of the undead can still be used to explode.
The Shadows didn't even expect that Gu Xi would use his men as bombs, and they were still surging forward.
Then I heard four booming booms.
Four skeletons died on the spot, and the shock wave of the explosion knocked away the bones of the skeletons. These bone fragments rotated and cut into the group of ghosts.
Each piece of bone flew at least thirty meters away, and the explosion of four skeletons killed more than sixty ghosts on the spot.
[Kill the Shadow (Level 2) and gain 45 experience points. ]
[Kill the Shadow (Level 2) and gain 33 experience points. ]
[Kill the Shadow (Level 2) and gain 36 experience points. ]
[...]
But at this time, Gu Xi had a look of confusion on his face.
"How come it's only four times? I just used the secondary corpse explosion five times. Is it possible that the secondary corpse explosion still fails to cast?" Gu Xi, with a puzzled look on his face,
considered the situation just now.
At this time, Combat Team 1 had also circled behind the Shadows, and slashed at the Shadows from behind with a shorthand ax and a kukri.
This time the ghosts obviously have their own consciousness.
Although they were attracted, they were no longer the kind of fools who rarely knew how to fight back when being beaten.
When attacked, they will also turn around and fight back.
But what they encountered was Gu Xi's earliest fighting team.
This combat team has gone through many battles, and many of their skeletons have leveled up.
At the same time, their weapons have undergone more than two changes, and now their combat effectiveness is considered the strongest among Gu Xi's combat team.
Now they don't consider their own safety at all, but rush into the black shadow and kill people randomly.
Their indiscriminate killing is also quite effective. Their movements are very fast. They often kill the enemy with one strike of an ax and a backhand knife.
If it were faster, the black shadow wouldn't even have a chance to counterattack.
For a moment, the black shadow's progress stopped, and their already chaotic team became even more chaotic.
This opportunity was seized by Combat Team 3. They raised their spears and thrust forward heavily, killing another batch of black shadows.
But at this moment, the leader in the black shadow carrying a spear made of arms finally took action.
