In an instant, Zhao Xu observed that the herbaceous plants that were originally growing vigorously under his feet immediately lost their vitality and became withered. The grasses seemed to have gone through the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in just a few seconds, completing the process. A great cycle of life and death.
These plants that can grow in the wild and dead land, an area that exudes negative energy, have strong vitality. They are all Haloxylon ammodendron trees that can grow with difficulty in the desert.
Now it is dying on the spot, which means that there is a stronger undead invasion, which is rapidly sucking away the little remaining vitality of this land!
Challenge the level 17 banshee!
The image of an undead creature that would bring death as long as it heard singing flashed through Zhao Xu's mind.
In other words, the banshee has this special ability of "suppressing plant growth", which can fully affect the growth of plants within a radius of one kilometer.
Banshees are essentially formed from the dead souls of a race of powerful-willed and extremely selfish humanoids who hate any living creature for their own death and are happy to kill them.
"Run!"
Zhao Xu immediately shouted to the fringe military personnel around him.
It's just that the trench that was originally used to block the enemy has now become a trap that affects the retreat, greatly delaying everyone's retreat. Even if everyone is already panicking and has no choice but to retreat, they still have to retreat little by little.
The anxious breath in the air suddenly became extremely peaceful, as if the hearing in both ears had been lost.
Zhao Xu's inner vigilance did not lower at all, and he had to recall every detail about the powerful undead creature like the banshee.
"Banshee's Wail" is famous even in the Nine Rings. This great magic can cause anyone around you who hears the sharp sound to be instantly killed by an instant death spell.
And this spell is derived from the terrifying immortal incorporeal creature "Banshee".
Like ghosts, they have the terrifying ability of "fear appearance". Once ordinary people look directly at them, they will seriously and permanently lose 1-4 points of strength, agility, and physical attributes.
What's even more frightening is that the banshee can activate the "wailing" ability three times a day to directly kill living creatures in a circular area with a radius of 10 meters, or a cone-shaped area with a radius of 20 meters.
It is precisely because of the ability to inhibit growth, coupled with the banshee's ability to cry, that wherever the banshee appears, there will be no grass around, like ruins.
This is also the reason why Arthur spreads the legend that when a place suddenly withers, it heralds the impending death.
At the moment when Zhao Xu was in a trance, a ferocious-looking female demon with sharp ears and messy yellow hair appeared directly in front of Zhao Xu.
At this time, she had opened her mouth, revealing the sharp fangs and bright red tongue inside, and at the same time, an extremely harsh "death sound wave" was blasted out like an air cannon!
"The howl of a banshee!"
[Adventurer Zhongxia, your four-ring "anti-death barrier" spell takes effect, and you are immune to all death spells, magic death effects, energy absorption and other negative energy effects. You are immune to the Banshee's "Wail" effect.]
[Adventurer Zhongxia, your three-ring "energy protection" spell takes effect, and you are immune to fatigue, exhaustion, as well as attribute damage and absorption effects. You are immune to the banshee's "fearful appearance" effect.]
The sound of death instantly hit Zhao Xu's expression, but the power of death was intercepted outside Zhao Xu's skin, and a yellow light flashed before disappearing.
Resisted by his "immunity".
Although the two third- and fourth-level spells were only at the minute level, they opened a huge gap between Zhao Xu and these undead creatures.
If it were other ordinary players of the same level, even if they passed one threshold, they might fall under another threshold at any time.
This is also the reason why the team needs a priest, only in this way can the fault tolerance rate be improved.
Not everyone can fight alone like Zhao Xu from beginning to end.
At this time, several militiamen who were seven or eight steps away from Zhao Xu had not completely fled. Although their backs were turned to the banshee and they did not see his face, they fell directly after receiving such an all-round death howl. Bleeding from the ground and seven orifices.
Without the immunity of more than ten levels of powerful warriors, there is no possibility of surviving the howl of the banshee.
Zhao Xu also felt a numbness on his back. He turned his head and realized that three more "banshees" had surrounded him behind him and were joining forces to attack him.
If you are really hit and are not immune, you will directly lose 1-4 points of charm attribute.
At the same time, the attack of this undead wave seemed to be out of control. Zhao Xu, who was instantly entangled, saw several super-small worms with a very vague appearance, like three faces and covered with scales. The body is attacking and killing him.
Zhao Xu never fights an uncertain battle, and he will not act rashly if he cannot recognize what this undead creature is.
Zhao Xu immediately stepped back, distanced himself, and at the same time waved his staff to cast spells. It would definitely be extremely disadvantageous for him to separate from the battlefield and be beaten again.
"Brilliant light."
Faced with this critical moment, Zhao Xu immediately threw out this five-ring spell targeting undead creatures, and combined it with the "spell expansion" specialty of potential point simulation.
Only at the last second of the gesture, he showed a more cruel look, and added several other specialties - spell twins, spell maximum effect, spell lasting!
The magical energy of the brilliant light immediately bloomed like a bright flame within a real 40-meter range around Zhao Xu.
Unable to avoid force majeure, the positive energy like falling stars continued to spread like rain, and the radiance illuminated every corner of the area, just like the "daylight spell".
At this moment, all undead creatures in the area will inevitably fall into a "dazzled" state and cannot see the way forward. At the same time, these undead creatures in the depths will suffer 12 (1D6 twin extreme effect) points of damage every round.
What's even more exaggerated is that this is a fixed-distance spell, so Zhao Xu can perform it for a long time.
That is to say, during these 24 hours, any undead creature that comes within 40 meters of him will be dazzled and then injured. Skeleton zombies with very few health points will fall down and scatter into skeletons after one round.
At this time, Zhao Xu also relied on "religious knowledge" in an emergency and found out that this kind of incorporeal worm was called "Grudge-bound Soul"!
A super-small undead creature formed from resentful souls that cannot fulfill their wishes.
Once you are entangled with the other party and become its chosen one, it will become a parasitic relationship.
From then on, the Resentful Soul will wrap around the target creature's neck or nestle on its chest. Then the Resentful Soul will rely on the parasite to carry out its actions, forming a large group of perverts who are greedy for its beauty and completely controlled by it.
This indescribable feeling of nausea made Zhao Xu not want to be touched by these worms at all.
Fortunately, this "brilliant light" also stopped the "Terror-bound Spirit" and "Ghost" that followed.
These floating incorporeal undead creatures can be said to be the vanguard of the undead army, specially designed to eliminate those stubborn elements who resist the undead creatures.
Even if the player had a resurrection stone before traveling through time, facing an undead creature of this level, they could only avoid its sharp edges.
Even a high-level adventure team that has repeatedly completed glorious epic missions will only feel numb when they see the undead group of this size around Zhao Xu and retreat first.
Just pick out any incorporeal creature such as the banshee, and Arthur can kill a team of level 10 adventurers.
And Zhao Xu noticed that even with the light and rain barrier, the number of undead creatures below was still increasing. Even if they used their lives to open a way, they would run towards him desperately. After sighing, Zhao Xu silently opened the "any door" directly. a safe distance.
Compared with the first time he met the ghost, he even had to use a "prayer candle" to barely resist the situation.
Now that Zhao Xu encountered this kind of incorporeal undead creature, he had indeed reached the state of understatement.
But deep down in his heart, Zhao Xu knew the seriousness of this.
If humans on earth in previous lives had encountered attacks of this scale, Zhao Xu and the others would have been dead long ago when they walked out of the wilderness.
This scale is too large. Let alone those earth travelers who have no fighting ability, it is enough to attack Arthur's big city.
Even the capital of the Northern Alliance could hardly withstand an offensive of this level.
Zhao Xu didn't care about hiding his identity. He directly controlled his power of flight and soared into the sky.
In an instant, he looked out and saw countless undead armies stretching for several kilometers in front of him, densely packed like the sky during a locust plague.
It was as if all the dead bodies in the entire wilderness of the Dead Land had been transformed into undead creatures and appeared here from the moment they were born to now.
"I want to see Yanan's future!"
Zhao Xu, who felt something bad, waved his staff and used the "Sign of Disaster", a one-ring prophecy magic.
After a brief prayer, the power of destiny drew images of the future and slowly showed Zhao Xu the dangers he might face.
The spell evaluates the current environment and all roads, and uses this as a basis to reveal a certain image of the next hour to the subject.
But the next moment, Zhao Xu, who was trying to maintain a calm attitude, suddenly changed his expression.
It stands to reason that what he saw should be the result of him guarding this area for an hour, but what flashed in his mind was the scene of "Yanan being overwhelmed".
The innocent people who had come to Yharnam with great difficulty were left with incomplete corpses eaten by the undead creatures. The stinking ghouls jumped excitedly on their bodies, picking out their new food.
The flying winged night shadow passed over the sky above the association's core headquarters in Yharnam. Under it, there were already flames everywhere. Countless people who could not resist it would rather set themselves on fire than be turned into undead creatures.
The real target of this undead wave is Yanan.
