Chapter 19 Rat Tide! Monsters siege the city!
Master Gage gave the order, and the ratmen in the entire Beifeng Mine began to boil, grinding their teeth and preparing to pounce on the intruders and tear them to pieces.
At this moment, the players who are spawning monsters in the mine don’t know anything yet.
After killing a slave rat that was forced into a corner, the pig-headed knight stepped forward and cut off the rat's tail with a knife, then tied it around the ribs and tied a knot.
"The tenth! 1,000 Hades Coins are in hand! Quack, quack, quack!"
The [Tauren Warrior] carrying a dagger and shield followed behind him, communicating with him in a creaking voice.
"Come on, there are still 10 animals short of 50 contribution points."
Pig-head knight: "Gah! Why are there so many?!"
Tauren warrior: "You have been idle for too long. These rats were easy to catch at first, and they will be gathered together soon."
His 20 tails have been gathered long ago, and he is still spawning monsters just to accompany his good brothers.
If it wasn't for accompanying the cheaters, he would probably be mining with the group of professional players.
Digging 1,000 kilograms of coal or iron ore will also reward you with 50 contribution points.
Complete these two daily tasks with the highest returns, and you can get 100 contribution points a day.
Work hard, and you will be able to climb the black iron in 10 days, and then the sky will be high and you will be able to leap like a fish.
The pig-headed knight had a bitter look on his face, and he couldn't help but curse.
"What the hell... Saint Sith."
The tauren warrior asked knowingly with a playful smile.
"The one who gave you the title is the Demon King, why are you scolding Saint Sith."
The pig-headed knight rolled his eyes.
"It's up to you! I'll do whoever I want!"
"Hahaha!"
No longer teasing his good brother, the tauren warrior walked forward with his shield, ready to find the next unlucky little mouse.
However, at this moment, the tremor of shaking the earth suddenly came from not far in front of the two skeletons.
It felt like thousands of troops and horses were running wildly, accompanied by the roar of mountains and tsunamis.
The pig-headed knight's jaw dropped, and his eyes stared straight ahead at the dark front.
"What's going on?!"
h also noticed the movement ahead, and the tauren warrior's eyes instantly became sharp.
"There's something wrong, buddy..."
According to the general routine, in this case, it's either an elite monster or a BOSS.
However, he didn't feel like it.
Seeing the earth-shaking tremors getting closer and closer, he knew that he had no time to hesitate, so he immediately threw away the equipment in his hands and pulled his good brother aside.
"What are you doing?!" Looking at the movements of the tauren warrior, the pig-head knight was stunned.
"Pretending to be dead! What else can we do?! We only have two skeleton soldiers, what if we really encounter the boss's impure free gift?!"
Speaking of which, he doesn't know what the death mechanism of this game is, and it would be uncomfortable if he was obedient for two or three days.
"Pretending to be dead?! That's okay?!"
"Why not? Isn't this the basic behavior of undead creatures?! Stop talking nonsense, just lie down if you are told to do so!"
This seems reasonable.
The two skeletons lay motionless on the ground, as if they had been dead for a long time.
After a while, the tremors that shook the earth and the mountains finally rushed close to them.
At this moment, the nervous pig-headed knight finally saw clearly who the culprit was that caused the earthquake.
Rat!
Thousands of rats half as tall as a man!
Some of them are well-equipped, wearing armor and carrying knives, while others are in ragged clothes and have bare hands and claws.
However, without exception, every face with sharp teeth and sharp mouths is full of evil spirits.
The pig-headed knight even couldn't help but wonder, if these rats were really serious about killing the group of cave spiders at the entrance of the maze, why would they hide in the mines and make their home?
A swarm of rats stepped near the two skeletons, kicking up huge clouds of dust.
Fortunately, just as the tauren warrior said, the group of rats did not discover them.
The deafening sound finally went away and seemed to be heading in the direction of the Demon King's territory.
The tauren warrior shook his head and stood up, looking at the trampled shield, and finally sighed and picked up the dagger.
Finally evolved into a skeleton sword and shield bearer, but now it has degenerated into a skeleton soldier.
What a loss!
"...Holy crap, are these rats crazy?"
"I don't know, maybe they are eager to be killed..."
In one morning, the players in the mine had an average of twenty tails wrapped around their waists, and they killed at least seven to eight hundred ratmen.
The tauren warrior made a reasonable analysis. Behind these group of rat men, either there was a magician chanting a spell, or there was a big rat giving orders.
"...What's next?" The pig-headed knight looked at him and asked.
There is no way to go back home anyway, and going forward seems to be a dead end.
The tauren warrior scratched the back of his head, unable to make up his mind for a moment, and asked tentatively.
"You don't have to be able to beat it. Isn't there a line in the task bar? There are rewards for discovering new landmarks... The BOSS room should be considered a new landmark, right?"
The pig-headed knight glanced sideways at this guy.
Some people who were timid after hearing about the boss just now are now eager to try it again.
But he also wanted to see what the boss looked like, so he didn't stop this guy.
As for death? Then die.
It’s just a game anyway. If you don’t die seventy or eighty times, do you have the nerve to say that you are a player?
"Come on, I'll go and have a look with you."
"Wait for me for a while, I'll go to the official website first!"
After saying that, the tauren warrior squatted by the wall, turned into a corpse again, and went offline to report.
…
Deep in the Demon King's territory, near the entrance to the first floor of the maze, several robber thieves squatted in the stone prison and shivered.
That evil magician... No, the evil devil is more cunning than they imagined. As soon as he gave them a bite to eat, he would immediately use evil magic to suck them half to death.
It feels very uncomfortable, like being hollowed out by disease and having your soul sucked away.
"I can't bear it anymore... I can't bear it anymore... It's okay for anyone, please come and save me."
Amu, whose muscles were all tangled, was already kneeling on the ground with a nervous breakdown.
This berserker with the highest level and toughest image in Silver Scimitar was unexpectedly the first to break through the defense.
Chris didn’t have the strength to laugh at him.
Because she felt that she couldn't bear it anymore.
"What do you think...that guy is going to do to us." Greyhound was trembling, looking at the great swordsman Rexon who was still holding on, and asked with fear on his face.
"I don't know..."
Rexon shook his head, his eyes under the damp bangs full of gloom and regret.
Had they known that that guy was such a dangerous person, they shouldn't have waited until they were in the mine before taking action.
…“…I have never dealt with a necromancer.”
"Is there no necromancer in the underground street?" Greyhound swallowed and asked tremblingly.
Compared to these seniors, he is just a country boy who has just entered the industry.
The reason why I joined Silver Scimitar was partly because I wanted to get rich overnight, but more importantly because of a certain woman.
Chris glanced sideways at the boy, staring straight ahead with empty eyes.
"Underground streets... to put it bluntly, they are just a group of thieves and hopeless poor ghosts who do dirty work. As for the necromancers... they are the opponents that the lord's army only needs to worry about."
The so-called necromancers are the evil among evil ways, and only the evil hell will forgive their sins.
These guys betrayed not only the faith of Saint Sith, but also the moral ethics of human beings.
I heard that a silver-level necromancer can cause disasters that would trouble gold-level or even platinum-level knights.
She had only heard about this rare existence in rumors.
At this time, Rexon, who had been sleeping with his eyes slightly closed, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"There was movement."
Chris also reacted, turned over and lay on the ground, listening carefully.
As a thief, what she is best at is detection. Although this skill is not always reliable, the movement this time is extraordinary, and she will never hear it wrong.
「It’s a rat tide!」
Her face instantly turned pale, she jumped up from the ground, threw herself onto the solid stone prison, and used all her strength to beat the indestructible stone pillar.
"Hey! Is there anyone alive? Can you hear me? Let us out quickly!"
No one responded.
There were a few skeletons who tilted their heads and looked at her, but they looked like they didn't understand what she said.
That guy...
Left them here!
The weak fists were ineffective against the cage made of rocks. Kris's eyes were filled with despair and she wailed in a hoarse voice.
"That...Qin Qin Shihuang...you are nearby, right?! Please——"
"That's enough, shut up!"
A thunderous sound interrupted her plea for mercy, and a dark figure stood in the middle of the mine tunnel.
The man with purple-to-black hair held a wand in his hand. His arrogant face was full of impatience, as if he didn't care about the incoming rats at all.
Chris stared at him with wide eyes.
Rexon on the side was the same, his eyes filled with incredible astonishment.
Is this guy crazy?
Or rather——
He has been dealing with corpses all year round and has no idea what the rat tide means.
"A few little mice are so scared... Also, pay attention to your attitude, you are my captives, do you think I am joking?"
Seeing the sharp eyes coming towards her, Kris was frightened and her face became even paler. She immediately left the side of the stone pillar and stumbled to sit on the ground.
Luo Yan's eyes moved away from the prisoners, and while reciting a spell, he waved the wand in his right hand.
"Wake up——"
"My servant!"
In the corner not far away, the body that already exuded a putrid smell was standing up staggeringly from the ground.
Meat residue dripped from its body, and there was no expression on its dull face.
Seeing this blasphemous scene, the prisoners were so frightened that they swallowed their saliva and were speechless.
That was their teammate Bond——
Luo Yan stared at the corpse with a hint of surprise between his eyebrows.
This guy is obviously an ordinary person without extraordinary power, but his soul level is bronze?
It’s also good.
As a puppet, his upper limit is much higher than that of ordinary puppets.
Manipulating the puppet named Bond, Luo Yan ordered him to pick up the big sword on the ground that the player could not carry, and guard it around the demon statue.
Himmediately, he gave an order to Youyou.
"Yuyou, call all the players and tell them that the monsters have begun to attack the city!"
"As long as we hold on to this wave of attacks, in addition to the basic rewards of the mission, each player will be awarded an additional 10,000 hell coins and 100 contribution points!"
"If you can't hold on, tell them to look forward to the next beta test!"
