"Help! Help!"
The fat man ran over from behind like crazy.
Everyone took out their weapons and headed towards the entrance of the canyon. There were only bones and debris everywhere, and nothing threatening. The fat man was still yelling, and everyone couldn't help but look at him with doubtful eyes. They saw that the fat man actually had a skull biting on his butt.
The mourning dog spat out a mouthful of bloody spit and cursed angrily: "Fat pig, you are so fucking capable!"
The fat man was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Damn it, can you blame me? The bastard bit my butt! Hey, help me, get it off!"
Everyone looked dumbfounded. They all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately put their equipment into their backpacks.
There was a silver skull hanging on the fat man's butt. Inside the skull, the soul fire was burning vigorously, and there were about 1,500 health points left. Undoubtedly, this is the silver skull whose head was chopped off by Zhang Mu earlier.
If the life of the skeleton does not return to zero, the soul fire will not be extinguished. If the soul fire is not extinguished, the skeleton will not die. The situation was very critical at that time. In order to minimize the threat, Zhang Mu had no time to kill the skeleton. He could only cut off the cervical vertebrae to render the silver skeleton incapable of fighting. The fat man didn't pay attention when he was looking for the wounded, so he was bitten on the butt.
The fat man deserves to be unlucky, the skeleton is an undead creature, because the skull contains soul fire, and the soul fire condenses the power of the undead. After the skull bites the fat man's butt, the breath of the undead will leak out. Within a short time, most of the fat man's buttocks were black and rotten. The pain was extraordinary, and no wonder it made the fat man scream.
"No way, I can't take it down." Zhang Mu tried a few times and shook his head: "We can only kill the skeleton, Xie, you do it."
"Is this okay?"
Scorpion ignored the fat man, and the sharp blade popped out of his sleeve, rub rub... The speed of his attack was almost visible to everyone, and the life of the skeleton was suddenly dropped. With a final click, the entire skull cracked, and the soul fire flickered. It was completely extinguished after a few clicks, and the skeleton was still biting a large piece of rotten flesh when it fell.
"Ah!" A miserable scream echoed in the canyon.
Everyone ignored the fat man who was crying in pain and went to take care of the wounded. Lei Ming has already counted the casualties. 35 mercenaries were killed in the battle, 69 were seriously injured, 5 were disabled, and the rest were all slightly injured. Among them, 1 core member was seriously injured, 9 elite members died, 12 were seriously injured, and 1 was disabled.
Lei Ming's resolute face showed a heavy look: "This is the most serious casualty situation since the formation of the Huangquan mercenary group!"
Zhang Mu announced in public: "Each person will be given a basic reward of 50 mercenary points, and additional rewards will be given based on performance! If these deceased have relatives, they can receive the rewards on their behalf. If there are no relatives, they will be divided equally among the teams. other members of!”
This reward makes the Huangquan mercenary feel energetic. The basic reward is as high as 50 points. Currently, 1 point is exchanged for gold coins. The ratio has quickly increased to 6:1. 50 points is equivalent to 300 gold coins. Its value can be imagined. Especially if you get hundreds of trophies from this battle, the public warehouse will be full, and the value of the points will be higher, which will naturally be of great use!
In this battle, besides Zhang Mu, Lei Ming contributed the most to blocking General Skeleton and stabilizing the front line of defense, so he was given an additional 200 points as a reward, and no one raised any objections. Other mercenaries are also rewarded based on merit, because there are more than 400 underworld mercenaries, forming more than 40 teams. The number of monsters killed by the team, the output status and the situation of the priest will be clearly displayed in the team information column. Zhang Mu uses this standard as the basis for rewards, which is very fair. Everyone will be rewarded with more or less mercenary points.
However, risks and benefits coexisted. Although the battle was very fierce and the Huangquan mercenaries lost many elites, in turn, the surviving mercenaries gained a lot of experience and points, and the strength of each mercenary was greatly improved. After a simple count, Zhang Mu learned that at least 201 blue skeletons, 35 silver skeletons, 1 skeleton general, and more than 300 trophies were killed in this battle. Most of them are weapons and armors. Most of the equipment is level 10. There are a few level 15 equipment. There are dozens of excellent quality black iron equipment. There are also more than 10 skill books dropped, more than 20 skill scrolls, and several special items. Ten pieces, it can be said that the results are brilliant!
When it comes to exchanging loot for Huangquan mercenaries, the core group has priority, followed by the elite group, and then the main group.
Zhang Mu is a member of the core group, but as the group leader, he has the highest priority. After checking all the loot, he chooses two items first.
[Warlord Armor] (fine bronze), level 15 light armor, physical defense +80, magic defense +50, life +100, damage immunity 5%, durability 100.
[Skill Advancement Scroll: Whirlwind Sword Qi], a scroll used to upgrade skill levels, can upgrade the FF level skill [Sword Qi Slash LV3] to the EE level skill [Whirlwind Sword Qi LV1].
The armor is level 15 equipment. Although it has good attributes, it is not of use for the time being. However, the skill advancement scroll is a good thing. It can improve the level of low-level skills and turn them into more advanced skills, provided that the skill reaches the top level. A lot of skill upgrade scrolls dropped this time. Zhang Mu used a LV2 skill scroll to upgrade [Sword Qi Slash] to level 3 first, and then used an advanced scroll to turn it into an EE level skill [Whirlwind Sword Qi LV1] ], and then use the promotion scroll to directly upgrade the skill to LV3.
[Whirlwind Sword Qi LV3], EE level skill, highest level LV4, shoots a wind attribute sword Qi, causing 150% weapon attack + 90% power damage, with cutting effect, a certain probability of causing bleeding status, attack distance 65 meters, consumption of magic 8 o'clock, cooldown time 12 seconds.
Zhang Mu is very satisfied with the whirlwind sword energy of LV3. The attack is at least 2 times higher than the ordinary sword energy of LV3. Even if it hits elite monsters of the same level, it can cause nearly 200 points of damage casually. The cooldown time is not long, but it is absolutely It is a powerful output skill!
The whirlwind sword energy is more versatile and can achieve arc attacks, which is much easier to use than the straight forward ordinary sword energy!
After Zhang Mu selected the trophies, it was Lei Ming's turn. Since he didn't have a skill book for shield fighting, he used his points to exchange for several pieces of high-defense plate armor and several scrolls for skill upgrades.
The fat man spent 80 points to exchange for a great sword of level 15 fine bronze quality.
[Tough Warrior's Greatsword] (fine bronze), level 15 greatsword, attack +110, strength +10, ignores 10% of the target's armor defense, durability 100.
The damage of this sword is very impressive!
Scorpion successively used 150 points to exchange for several accessories and skill scrolls to increase his damage ability. Leng Yun replaced an F-level skill book [Small Fireball Technique], and another LV2 skill scroll, and directly upgraded [Healing Hand] to LV3. Yang Yi exchanged two skill books, namely [Rapid Fire] and [Volley], which are relatively basic skills for shooters. The mourning dog exchanged a FF-level fighter skill book [Bone Strengthening]. As for Du Rongrong and others, because they did not have a suitable skill book, they could only choose to exchange it for equipment or accessories to improve their combat effectiveness.
After the mourning dog learned [Bone Strengthening], he couldn't wait to use it. The white liquid substance continuously seeped out of the skin of the half arm and solidified into a layer of bone. The texture was very strong and could be used for defense or turned into a bone blade. For attacks, it can only be strengthened by 10% and cannot cover the whole body. When it can be upgraded to LV2, the strengthening range is increased to 20%.
"This skill is good!"
The mourning dog was very satisfied.
Zhang Mu left some skill scrolls to exchange for other mercenaries to prevent the elite group from running out of scrolls. Everyone has just been allocated a large amount of points. Regardless of the excellent black iron equipment and skill upgrade scrolls, they are rare items, because the items have not been officially The exchange price is relatively favorable when stored in the warehouse. Even if you use points to exchange it, you don't have to sell it, you can still make a lot of money.
The mercenaries exchanged the items one after another, and most of them got what they wanted. If two people had the same needs, then the points would be used to decide. Whoever paid more points would get the items sold to him.
Most of the hundreds of trophies were distributed among the mercenaries, leaving only a small number of special items.
Lei Ming showed several magic items to Zhang Mu for inspection, "These are special trophies obtained in this battle, but their value is difficult to estimate."
Zhang Mu looked at the items one by one: "Well, good stuff, keep it!"
Most special items have good effects.
[EE Level Summoning Scroll: Summoning of the Skeleton General]: Summons a level 15 silver boss Skeleton General to assist in the battle. It appears for 30 minutes and can be summoned once.
[E+ Level Ice Scroll: Frost Advent]: Summons a D-level large spell Frost Advent, covering an area of 50×50 meters, causing 500 points of ice attribute damage, and entering a level 4 frost state.
[FF Magic Stone: Aura of Weakness], after being turned on, enemy units within 100 meters will enter a level 2 weakened state.
These three items were the best items. Zhang Mu stuffed them into his backpack. The other items were stored separately by several core members for temporary safekeeping. At this time, the treatment of the wounded was almost in progress. Most of the seriously injured had regained their ability to move. A few disabled people were unable to participate in the battle and could only go to the camp to find a biochemical doctor for magical surgical treatment.
"The Magic Grass Valley is ahead! As long as we clear the secret realm, the resource field will belong to us. Work harder, let's go!"
Zhang Mugang issued the order.
A sharp and long roar came from the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw a small pterosaur hovering over the canyon.
"Green eyes!"
Leng Yun's face changed slightly, her green eyes flew into the canyon and landed not far away. It was wounded, with an arrow in the abdomen, and a quarter of its life was lost. Qingmu is a level 10 boss with an astonishing amount of health. Can he kill a quarter of the boss's life with just one arrow
The blood from Qingyan's wound has stopped. He seems to be frightened, trembling a little, and whining continuously from his mouth.
"We are in trouble." Leng Yun comforted the pet, frowned and said, "The alien creature is coming!"
Lei Ming quickly asked: "How many are there and how strong are they?"
Zhang Mu sighed: "Its appearance has already shown the problem, the situation is not good."
Lei Ming's dark face showed a serious and heavy look. Qingmu is a real boss battle pet. How strong is the opponent to scare it into such a state? At least three to four hundred underworld mercenaries can't do it. The foreign forces coming here must be very powerful.
"We have too many wounded, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight again." Yang Yi asked: "Do you want to withdraw?"
Lei Ming shook his head: "There are too many people. It may not be safe to evacuate. Maybe we won't be able to get back to the station and we will be stuck in the wild."
"I don't agree with retreat!" Sanggou clenched his fists: "Withdraw, the secret realm will be destroyed. Will our efforts be in vain soon? Don't the brothers who died in the battle die in vain?"
"Calm down, the enemy is strong and we are weak!"
The mourning dog stood firm, with a murderous look on his face, and the scars were even more ferocious: "I don't support retreat! Come and kill one by one, I'm afraid they're just birds of a feather!"
Several core members argued.
Leng Yun turned to Zhang Mu. In her mind, Zhang Mu was not only powerful, but also had extraordinary wisdom. Now that the situation is critical, it is most appropriate for him to make the decision.
"We will never give up the secret realm, but those who cannot fight must be transferred first." Zhang Mu thought for a few seconds and made a decision: "Fat Man, Yang Yi will take ten elite members to protect the disabled mercenaries back to the station. With fewer people, the target is smaller , not easy to be found, just be careful and you should be fine.”
The fat man couldn't help but ask: "What about you?"
"Use all available resources to defend the canyon and protect the secret realm!"
"Can you hold it?" Yang Yi said worriedly: "The canyon is a dead end. If you are blocked in it, you will not be able to get out."
"So everything depends on you." Zhang Mu's deep eyes seemed to have a glimmer of light dancing, "There are 8 teams of mercenaries left in the station, about 80 people, which is a strong fighting force. In addition, there are several mercenaries in the station. Guarding robots, you must tell the robots the news about the alien race, and they will come to support you. If you seize the opportunity well and attack from the front and back, you may not have no chance of winning!"
