Chapter 271: Chapter 87 Ancient Tomb Corpse King_2"I’m up!" Dida La waved his magic wand. Five Elements Magic—Fire Wall Skill! Boom! Flames soared into the sky, instantly forming a fire wall five meters long and one meter wide, completely blocking the passage. However, the giant rats showed no fear and charged at the fire wall. As they dashed through the flames, the fur of the Corpse Giant Rats ignited. The darkness was instantly illuminated by the firelight, and it has to be said that the game’s light and shadow effects were incredibly realistic. Groups of flaming giant rats scurried chaotically in the dark, creating a spectacular scene. "Fire at will!" Hidden Dragon shouted, standing at the forefront with a gun in hand. A flame-engulfed giant rat with low blood volume charged at him, and he shot, harvesting it precisely. Another giant rat—swoosh! An arrow from Little White Dragon’s bow and arrow Combat Skills pinned it to the ground. Xiao Jie also kept shooting arrows; these flaming giant rats became the most conspicuous targets in the dark, and swathes of them were shot dead on the ground. [System Notice: Your Bow Weapon Specialization level has increased, now it is Master Level...] Xiao Jie was pleasantly surprised, but he didn’t care much about it now. Finally, all the giant rats were killed. Unfortunately, beast Monsters don’t drop much, only some worthless rat skins and foul rat meat. Huh, a mysterious chunk of meat? What is this. [Mysterious Meat Chunk (Garbage) Item Introduction: A strange cluster of meat found inside a Corpse Giant Rat, seems to have coagulated into a lump. Corpse Chasing Mages of the Taiyin Law Conference might be interested.] Well, I’ll keep it for now. The battlefield was quickly cleaned up; fortunately, with proper cooperation, there were no casualties. It was quite frightening though. "I just saw them gnawing on something..." a core member said, walking a few steps into the dark before suddenly stopping. "Ugh..." Xiao Jie also went over, finding a body of Earth-burrowing Zombie gnawed down to the bones. Looking around, there seemed to be quite a few. "Everyone, be careful, there might be more Monsters." Sure enough, several Earth-burrowing Zombies staggered up from the ground, some still showing signs of being gnawed, Blood Volume not full. Huh, these Monsters are actually fighting each other? Xiao Jie didn’t think too much; these Earth-burrowing Zombies could probably trigger Corpse Poison, it was time for bow and arrow. A hail of arrows knocked them all down, and the group continued forward. Passing through this winding dark ramp, the ground suddenly became smooth, and another huge cave appeared in front, almost the same size as the previous Dumping Area. "Everyone be careful, this kind of large cave usually spawns a lot of Monsters." Hidden Dragon was still leading at the front, gazing into the darkness with a serious tone. "Dida La, light the way." "Received." As a Five Elements Mage, not only was he fierce in battle, but also served exceptionally well as a humanoid spotlight, firing a fireball into the darkness. The fireball flew along the path, illuminating several humanoid figures in the darkness—zombies! Boom, when the fireball eventually exploded in the air, the last spark in the darkness outlined a huge humanoid silhouette. "Oh my—looks like there’s a Corpse King!" Dida La exclaimed, unclear whether he was thrilled or terrified. Xiao Jie also noticed, the guild had provided very detailed information about Corpse Kings. This type of BOSS could be found on many maps, wherever large numbers of zombies gathered, especially in underground ancient tombs and caves. The name usually varied slightly, depending on the type and the map. According to the background provided by some books and documents in the game, each Corpse King was a formidable warrior, warrior, or spellcaster in life, hence after death and corporealization, they gradually grew into powerful Corpse Kings, thus dropping various Profession Advanced Skill Books upon being killed. It was said that they might even drop secret books of Supreme Martial Arts—of course, the drop rate was exceedingly low. The most common were various secret books of Advanced Martial Arts, and occasionally some secret books of Advanced Magic, so killing one always meant huge profits. Moreover, the strength of a Corpse King was generally not ’too strong,’ making it one of the best targets for the major guilds to farm Skill Books. But this ’not too strong’ was relative to the main forces of the major guilds; for their current smaller team, it was hard to say. "Leader, do we fight it?" Little White Dragon asked. "Fight!" Hidden Dragon gritted his teeth, "Everyone, form a defensive formation, clear the Little Monsters first." However, just as he finished speaking, a chilling roar echoed from the darkness. Clearly, the Corpse King had also spotted them. One could see in the darkness, a huge humanoid figure slowly approaching, gradually revealing its name. Ancient Tomb Corpse King: Level 20 BOSS. Life Value: 2400. The Corpse King was over three meters tall, its clothes tattered, revealing cyan-black skin that resembled mud, though dead, its muscles bulged impressively, eyes round and red, full of sharp teeth, with a thick iron chain tied around it, seemingly once restrained, but now broken free. Not only was the Corpse King approaching, but the roar of the Corpse King also stirred the Little Monsters around, shadows constantly moving in the dark. Xiao Jie’s heart suddenly leapt; a Level 20 BOSS normally wouldn’t be considered very strong, they had previously fought a mountain bandit leader that was Level 19. But then was then, and now is now; previously they were in an open outdoors with clear sightlines and a broad formation, with more than fifty people against one Level 19 BOSS, that really was a breeze.
