Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Unearthed a Big BOSS
Translator: 549690339
The battle was still going on.
The zombies were rushing fearlessly towards the players, and Ni Wudao was the first one to break out, striking an ordinary attack against a zombie beside him.
-240!
Another zombie was laid flat on the ground, but it didn't drop anything.
"-1" "-1" "-1" "-1" "-247" "-1" "-1"
...
"Don't you guys help! Come on!" Ni Wudao had tried to show off too much, he was so surrounded by zombies that he couldn't move. Although the zombies' attacks couldn't penetrate his defense, the forced minor damage in large quantities was unbearable. The most frustrating part was that Ni Wudao didn't even have time to consume his healing potion. Casting a glance at the surrounding players, he was livid. All of them were just watching the fun and none of them came forward to help. Therefore, it didn't take long before Ni Wudao started to feel overwhelmed.
"Oh~! Darn, so many zombies hitting on our Boss Ni, it's so uncool! Boss Ni, I'm coming to help you!" One player said exaggeratedly and went forward to fight the zombies on the outer ring.
"Wait, who are the healers here? Hurry up and heal Ni boss! He's lost 1/5 of his HP!" Another player started to panic, looking left and right but couldn't find a healing player.
"Boss Ni, drink your potion!" The players looked at each other and then charged ahead, starting to deal with the zombies from the outer ring.
"Damn it, if I could drink the potion, would I need you to tell me! The consumption process can't be interrupted! There are too many zombies!" Ni Wudao cursed while fighting.
Suddenly, a heavy blow smashed on Ni Wudao's face.
"-50!"
"Damn it! With my defense of 87, how did they break my defense? It hurts!" Nidao screamed in horror.
"Boss Ni, you're poisoned!" A player pointed at Ni Wudao and shouted out loud.
"Damn you! You're poisoned, your whole family is poisoned!" Ni Wudao was so angry that he was steaming. All these novices were useless, none of them could heal. Damn it, was he doomed to die here?
"Wait, Old Ni, you're poisoned! Everyone be careful, there are advanced zombies mingling around." A Level 26 shield warrior said with a frown. With a 'Roar', he attracted the hatred of three zombies, and he didn't stop attacking surrounding zombies while searching for the advanced zombie.
"Damn! That's true, this is freakin' unlucky!" Ni Wudao quickly retreated, but every step he took back, he was blocked by the zombies behind him. "Damn it! I'm being pinned down, everyone, help me!"
Ni Wudao started to panic as he suddenly noticed a bigger zombie lumbering towards him. He had nowhere to escape and could only watch the massive corpse claw rip through his body!
"-60!"
"Little You, Mo Qian, Hong Guang, where are you guys? Cover me!" Ni Wudao, with his rapidly decreasing health, was terrified. Instead of showing off, he was being screwed. Now, he wished he could escape this hellish place immediately and quickly consume a few healing potions. The three people he had called out were the highest-level players among them. Although they hadn't made it to the leaderboard yet, they were surely formidable in battling these novice monsters.
If Su Ran was here, he'd find that Little You, Mo Qian, Hong Guang that Ni Wudao had called out were exactly the same ones who had earlier sought to kill him.
Little You was a girl holding a magic wand. She shook her head amusingly and said to her two companions, "Hehe, Ni Wudao tried to be cool and now he regrets it, huh? He was looking down on zombies, serves him right!"
"Haha, it's okay, let's help him out! If he dies, it won't be good for us either, the zombie boss might be hidden inside!" Mo Qian rubbed his bald head, and with a Jump Cut, he went to attack.
Hong Guang was a shield warrior. He held off several zombies in front of him, turned around and smiled at Little You, "Little You, stop hiding it. In here, only you can do Crowd Technique magic. Let's rescue Old Ni first, although he's a bit arrogant, his attack is still high. We might need him when we fight the Boss."
"Hmph, this is just to let him taste some hardship first, for being so arrogant! And also, Crowd Technique magic consumes a lot of Mana!" Little You responded while frowning, but her hands were quick as she lifted her magic wand high.
"Ice and Fire spell!"
The blue gem on top of her magic wand flashed a bright light. Under her spell, the zombies around Ni Wudao were enveloped in the flames made of ice crystals. They refracted a stunning blue circle of light and immediately burst open.
"-144" "-150" "-138" "-142" "-149"
...
A large batch of zombies were cleared in an instant!
Zombies with 100 HP won't stand a chance…
"Ha-ha-ha!" Boss Ni was able to escape to the back after stopping a zombie's claw with his machete and taking a leap backward, he started to quickly drink his potion.
"Wow! Ice Crowd Technique!"
"It's so beautiful! They say mastery of the crowd technique is the most challenging, even the great Ni couldn't master it! Look, who's in a disadvantage now?" The players whispered among themselves, staring at Little You who had just exhausted her magic.
"Little You, that's not fair! You just started to use crowd technique, do you find it amusing making fun of me?" Ni Wudao recovered and walked toward Little You, discontented.
"Please, using crowd techniques consumes too much magic. I didn't have enough, and I had to drink a potion just for you!" Little You seemed very angry, murmuring, "Biting the hand that feeds...
"Hehe." Hong Guang, the tank nearby, smirked and stayed quiet.
"Um..." Ni Wudao shrugged off a zombie following him and said to Little You, "Little You, are you interested in joining our 'Unified Under Heaven' Guild? I can recommend you to be an elite! Plus, there's a paycheck."
"Haha, you are clearly interested in my crowd technique! I cannot accommodate, I prefer being a casual player," Little You replied with a slight smile, ignoring Ni Wudao and concentrating on fighting monsters.
"Little You, be careful, that huge zombie is coming! Ah, it's a Centennial Zombie, this is going to be fun!" Hong Guang suddenly spoke up, addressing Little You.
In the time it took for Hong Guang to speak, the Centennial Zombie attacked the novices in front of it. Its long, withered arms stretched out behind its head, and then it swung them forcefully with a ghastly howl. Its slender bone claws drew a fierce circle in front of it, sending all three novice players flying.
"-130!" "-126!" "-122!"
In an instant, the three players lost nearly all of their Qi Blood! Even more frightfully, they fell among the zombies, without any time to take a potion!
"Help, Little You!" The three players flailed their weapons wildly in their fear, completely forgetting their form.
"My skill has a 30-second cooldown, I'm sorry." Little You turned away, seeming a bit reluctant.
In a few seconds, these three players met their first deaths honorably.
What everyone overlooked was that the gloomy ground flashed a quiet light after the players died, before returning to silence.
The battle was still intense, with all players forgoing the low-level weak zombies and targeting the powerful Centennial Zombie.
...
Meanwhile, Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief, having finally dug up another grave. Looking at the 'Primitive Ancient Coffin' in front of him, he felt contented. He was more confident about conquering Novice Village.
[Primitive Ancient Coffin]
An unidentified primal stone from another realm, possesses the ability to suppress spirits. It was a bit of a waste to use it to build a coffin back then, crafting it into an artifact would have been much better.
The coffin suppresses a spirit. The spirit is formless and survives by consuming blood essence. However, after years of suppression, the malignant nature of the spirit is evident. Be warned not to open the coffin rashly!
Ha, another strong ally!
Su Ran rattled his skull head happily, then carelessly flung open the 'Primitive Ancient Coffin'!
"Ding! Due to the player Skeleton opening the 'Primitive Ancient Coffin,' the seal was lifted, triggering the event — The Centenary Spirit is Revealed!"
