Chapter 139 The NPC who goes and returns
"I think others might want to talk to us about this situation," said Klissina. "The reactions of those NPCs are obviously abnormal. The NPC tribe here cannot only involve our tasks, so if something goes wrong with them, I think other players will definitely encounter trouble."
"Then go find someone to find out. Aurecia, I'll trouble you with this job for finding someone."
"Don't worry, I'm good at this job." After Aurecia agreed, she asked us to wait in place, and then she would notify us when she found another player team. This would speed up, and secondly, it would not scare people away. After all, we are carrying a large group of undead people. If we suddenly encounter this, normal people will definitely worry.
After we made the plan, we could only wait in place, while Aurecia quickly drilled into a hole in a wall and disappeared. According to her, there were many players in this place, and people could be found in at most ten minutes. Even if we brought the other party back, it would take less than half an hour.
"What exactly will cause these NPCs to suddenly betray these NPCs?" Anyway, Kris Dyna asked, let us all think about what was going on.
Ashufude shook his head and said, "I can't imagine anything. Those NPCs were originally a group of peace-loving creatures. They have simple personalities, just like ignorant children. They are kind to people and sometimes make some pranks, but overall they are already very easy to get along with. As long as you give them some gifts and be kinder at the beginning, they will be very good to you. Even if you really offend them because of something, they will most likely ignore you. This kind of active attack has never happened before."
"If the problems within race are excluded, it should be external factors." I said out loud.
Alice turned to look at me and asked, "President Zi Ri thinks it's someone who caused this change for them?"
I nodded and admitted, "You have said that every time you do this task, the player team will make trouble. No matter how bad your luck is, you won't be able to collide with others every dozen tasks, right? Of course, unless someone deliberately fights you and intentionally destroys the task. But although your Iron Crusader is not a tolerant guild, it is not as big as enemies everywhere, right? So I think the most normal inference is that there are actually hidden obstacles in your task. Maybe every time you do a task, a reverse task will be issued synchronously, which will lead to you encountering hostile players every time."
Ashufude asked: "Did it be that this time a group of hostile players influenced the attitude of those NPCs and made them no longer friendly?"
"It may not be just a matter of attitude. Of course, this is the most likely. If they do something and then blame you, it is understandable that these NPCs will become violent. But, in addition to this, what if you use large black magic, such as the Blood Sacrifice, or something?"
"What kind of magic is the Blood Sacrifice?" Tank asked. This guy is a paladin and doesn't know much about magic.
Kris Dena explained to me: "The Blood Sacrifice is a large group magic. To be precise, it is a magic array. After being arranged, it can have a very large range of influence, and then the creatures in the range gradually become irritable, irritable, warlike, and bloodthirsty. Anyway, it is emotionally unstable. If such things are arranged in the city, it will easily become a riot. However, few people use this kind of sacrifice magic array alone. As long as they are combined with several other magic arrays, they can become a very cutting-edge recruitment array. All the free NPCs in the city can be converted into combatants, and then dispatched after listening. There is also such a large array under the ground of Aisinger, and various auxiliary magics are mixed in it, which can strengthen the combat power of our own people."
After hearing this, Alice sighed: "No wonder everyone says that Aisinger is the most unlikely fortress to fall. This defense is too exaggerated! You Aisinger's freedom NPCs are tens of millions, right? If they are all converted into soldiers, it will be more than the entire population of many countries!"
"Actually, the number of free NPCs in Aisinger is not tens of millions, but 200 million." Kris Dena suddenly revealed, which scared Ashufude and the others. "The number you calculated is the number on the ground of Aisinger, but Aisinger does not have only one layer. Besides, we have an Aisinger Sky City that is reversed above Aisinger ground city?"
"It's true that 200 million is not much."
Aisinger's area is larger than Shanghai in reality, and the city in reality is flat. Even if there are buildings, it is only multi-story inside the building, but Aisinger is different. Aisinger himself has several floors, and although some levels are not resident, there are more than one floor for people to move around. Secondly, Aisinger's buildings are generally tall, and the space inside the public buildings may be relatively large. So there is no impact, but the building inside the living building is like a skyscraper, which is to place a large space inside. More importantly, there is a thing in the game called hyperspace, which means that a large space is placed in a very small space. This technology is already a popular technology in the game. Although the cost is relatively high, our guild has been criticized by other guilds as a typical extravagant waste. Using hyperspace in civil buildings is really not a problem for us.
Because of this series of characteristics, the actual space area of Aisinger is much larger than what he seems. Aisinger has more than 200 million free NPCs in addition to players. However, even if they, players and various creatures are included, Aisinger's per capita area is still much wider than most cities' standards today. In other words, Aisinger has stuffed more than 200 million people into it, which is actually very relaxed.
We were chatting here, and suddenly we saw something flashing in the hole in front of us, and then we heard a sound like opening a champagne plug, followed by another dinging sound, and then we saw something hit the top of the passage in front of us, and then rebounded and fell right in the middle of our group of people.
"Huh? What's the thing?" Ashufude actually wanted to go up and pick it up when he saw this situation, but I reacted and kicked the thing out. However, as soon as the thing flew into the air, there was a loud bang. The skeleton soldiers around us fell down in an instant. Alice and the tank were both close to the explosion point and were shock waves. Alice was injured more seriously. Because the tank had high defense, it just fell, shook its head and got up again.
This sudden attack completely confused us. Many people didn't react to what was going on. However, they were all old players, even if they were not elites or masters, and their reaction was pretty good. After a brief panic, they immediately formed a line of defense. The attacks on the opposite side were not slow at all. After a continuous series of bang bang sounds, several jars that were exactly the same as the one just now flew over.
"The mage retreated." I shouted loudly while holding Eternity and ran forward, turning Eternity into a structure that looked like a badminton racket. I jumped up and waved it in the air for several consecutive times and knocked all three of the jars back, but I couldn't stop two of them.
One of the cans fell in front of Kris Dena, but the girl reacted very quickly, and she threw it directly into the position where the bomb landed. Then she quickly grabbed the son of Ye next to her and shouted: "Flash."
Night son took Kris Dena to move directly and open the distance in an instant. The bomb exploded after being submerged by the mud for more than half. However, because the soft mud had a very strong ability to absorb impact, the power of the bomb decreased a lot and did not cause any damage.
On the other hand, the tank blocked a bomb with a shield, but unfortunately the rebound angle was not right. It fell into the pile of undead next to it and exploded a large number of skeleton soldiers. Fortunately, the skeleton soldiers were cannon fodder soldiers, and there were still thousands behind them. There were no less of these.
The two consecutive attacks worked. The attackers on the opposite side probably realized that this thing was useless to us, so they directly changed the attack method. Because of intercepting those bombs, I was now standing at the front of the team. Because this passage was relatively straight, my sight was still far away. There was no sound of opening a bottle again in the passage in front, but a sudden sound came. At the same time, I saw a fire dragon spreading along the passage at a very fast speed.
"Damn! Everyone lie down!" I shouted and then threw myself forward to the ground. The undead behind me were all commanded by me. The speed was quite fast. Although Ashufude and the others were a little slower, they still lay down in time. After we all fell to the ground, we saw the fire dragon rolling along the top of the passage and rushing back to us. The entire passage was instantly illuminated red, and at the same time, we could feel the rolling heat waves coming from above our heads.
"Um..." I just rolled over the fire dragon and suddenly felt a suffocation. I suddenly remembered that this was a passage. A large-scale flame burning like this must consume a lot of oxygen. In this closed illusion, there is little oxygen, so how much oxygen can be left after this burn? Suffocation is only an initial symptom, and there will definitely be a suffocation feeling afterwards.
Realizing that it was not good, I quickly shouted to Ashufude and others behind me: "There is no oxygen, and those who have the ability to adapt to the anaerobic environment are left. If you can't hold on, you should go back quickly. The air in the back area will be better."
Hearing my voice, Alice and Al quickly turned their heads and ran away. Ashufud looked at me helplessly and turned around and ran away. Night son and Tank were finally forced to leave, and in the end, only Kris Dena and me were left.
"It's so deadly. Fortunately, I've got a bunch of undead before!" After putting down the cover, I felt a fresh air filling my lungs. I feel much more comfortable. Although there was still a small amount of oxygen in the surrounding air after the burn just now, just like altitude sickness, it's really hard for ordinary people to adapt to that kind of hypoxic environment. The most important thing is that I feel very uncomfortable, just like a stone pressing on my chest. Although I can still breathe, it feels super hard to do every move.
My Dragon Soul Helmet comes with air filtration, which can be unaffected in underwater or toxic environments, and can also ensure six hours of oxygen supply in a completely vacuum or anaerobic environment, so I have no problem in a short period of time.
Compared to me, Kris Dena is obviously easier. She now directly turned herself into a flying light bulb, with a pair of beautiful flashing butterfly wings spreading behind her back, and occasionally squirting twice, bringing these countless glowing crystal powders to float down. This is Kris Dena's Elemental Elf mode. In this mode, she is no longer a human body, but an elemental Elf. The main ability of this Elemental Elf itself is infinite magic power. Although it takes time to restore magic, the recovery speed is super fast. As long as one move is not followed by one, you can basically ignore the magic limit. However, what Kris Dena needs now is not the magic ability of the Elemental Elf, but the special attributes of this race.
Because magic elves are energy creatures, they do not consume oxygen, nor do they climb extreme environments such as high temperature, extreme cold, and toxins. To put it bluntly, they are immune to ice, fire, and poison, and their physical damage is halved. There is no need for oxygen, and they don’t care about atmospheric pressure or water pressure. The extreme environments in each of them will not affect her survival. The only one in nature that has a greater impact on her race is thunderstorms, because lightning belongs to energy and has a strong damage to her energy life. Of course, she also has the ability to control lightning. So even a thunder and lightning mage cannot restrain her, it can only threaten her.
"Who attacked us?" After Kris Dena completed the transformation, she floated over directly. In this mode, she also has a ability to float. This ability to float without wings. As long as she doesn't want to land, she can float all the time, and does not consume anything, just float. Moreover, in this state, she can move quickly. Although she can't catch up with the galloping horse, it's much faster than most players' running speed. The most important thing is that this way of moving does not consume endurance at all, and it doesn't matter if it keeps flying. Of course, this is levitation, not flying, so the maximum height from the ground is only about 1.5 meters. If it is higher, she will have to flap her wings into the flight mode. It's not possible to rely on levitation.
"I don't know who attacked us. But I definitely didn't want to be friends with us." As I said that, I saw a fire dragon appearing in front of me, and I was so scared that I quickly fell down again. Compared to me, Kris Dena is much simpler. She didn't care about the flames at all, and even reached out to touch her. In this mode, she was not afraid of fire, or in other words, except for the magical elements in the magic flames that can cause damage, the simple high temperature no longer has any meaning to her.
"If you are not afraid of fire, just find a way to reconnaise. I can't rush forward like this!" I asked at Kris Dena.
Kris Dena just nodded when she heard me, then folded her hands in front of her, and then slowly opened it. It was like a bird flying a small elf. This elf looks almost exactly the same as Kris Dena himself. It was just that the whole body was less than ten centimeters from head to toe, which was truly small and exquisite.
As soon as the elf appeared, it shook the colorful transparent butterfly wings on its back and then flew forward.
Generally speaking, butterflies' wings are actually not suitable for flying, because they are too large and are very soft, so they are naturally nothing for small butterflies, but their fragile nature will not change. The huge butterflies' wings on Clissida are more of energy reflections than entities, so there is no problem of strength at all. You can destroy wooden boards, metals or even diamonds, but you cannot destroy a shadow. Clissida's wings are the projection of positive energy in the positive material space, so it is indestructible. But although the elves' wings are
However, it looks like a projection, but it shows a completely different flight ability from normal wings. It just slapped twice and immediately rushed forward. The speed was so fast that it was even faster than the birds flying at high speed. Looking at the light and shadow, it was at least 200 kilometers per hour. You should know that few birds could fly to this speed, and even birds that could fly to this speed were mostly diving mode to create such speed. If you want to fly, you haven't heard of any natural creatures that can have such speed.
Less than two seconds after the elf flew out, Kris Dena suddenly was stunned for a moment, then turned to me and said, "The one who attacked us was the npc race I saw before."
"It's them again?"
Kris Dena nodded and asked me, "Do you want to fight back?"
I frowned and thought for a while and asked, "Is there any way to attack without causing harm? I want to catch a few people to ask about the situation."
"I'm afraid it won't work." Kris Dena replied: "There are many people on the other side, and my method can only control one or two people. If the other side has few people, they can still think of ways, but there are many people. If I control one or two, others will rescue them and will not leave their companions and let us catch them. If you want to capture the prisoners, it seems that you can only catch them by yourself."
Since Klis Dena said that, I had to do it myself. After notifying Klis Dena to follow me, I suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed forward with the extreme speed I could. But before I could run ten meters, I heard a roar coming from the front again, and then I saw something flying towards me with a flash of light.
Because I was sprinting, the speed of that thing was not slow, so the relative speed of the two of us was even more exaggerated. I collided with the thing within almost a second, and there was no time to dodge.
It was nothing to be hit, but the thing in front of me was obviously some kind of attack weapon, so I realized that I could not touch this thing. Unfortunately, this thing was completely different from the can-sized thing that was before. The thing was a timed fuse. If you react quickly, you could wait until the thing landed or choose to escape. However, this thing was started by collision. Almost as we collided, the thing exploded with a bang.
Kris Dena saw me rushing out, and before she could run forward, she saw a flash of fire in front of me, and then I rolled in smoke and fell back.
"President. Are you okay?" Seeing me rolling past her, Kris Dena quickly turned around and pulled me, but I was already helped up by a bunch of undead.
Shaking my head to wake myself up, I looked at myself, fortunately, the Dragon Soul suit is very powerful, and there is basically no problem. "What weapons did those guys on the other side use to attack me?"
"A thing that looks like a bazooka," replied Kris Dena. Her reconnaissance elf was still in front, so she could see something we couldn't see clearly.
"Battlehot?"
Kris Dena nodded with a strange expression: "It's just that the launcher is very similar, and the ammunition is a spherical thing. It looks like a combination of plastic and stone, and it will shine after it is activated. You should have seen it before."
I nodded and said, "I really saw some light before being hit, it turned out to be this thing."
Kris Dyna continued: "There are many weapons for those small men, and they all seem to be hot."
"Hot weapons?"
"It all looks like it, but in fact it should be mechanical or magic equipment. My elf felt some magic fluctuations generated during launch."
I frowned and asked, "What hit me just now is a bazooka-like thing, what about the previous one?"
"The jar of the thing that was fired at the beginning was fired from something like a grenade gun, and the way it was loaded was similar to a shotgun. Once you fire it, you had to disguise the barrel downwards and put in new ammunition before it could be fired again. The Fire Dragon just now was actually a flamethrower. But that thing was actually a handheld, without a fuel tank, and it was just a water gun that was played with by a child."
"My God, is the other party a regular army?"
"Hey...President?"
"What's up?"
"They pushed a cannon out from behind."
"Boat?" Hearing this name, I quickly jumped up from the ground, and shouted at the undead around me: "Charge and kill me!"
What is cannon fodder for? It is used to blow the opponent's cannons to ashes. The dwarves over there have directly pushed out all the cannons. I can't be bombed here, right? So now I can't lock up so many, so I directly ordered the undead army to charge.
The skeletons had not received the order before, but now they immediately ran away as soon as they heard the order. These bone racks had no weight and ran very fast. So many skeletons moved together, and they were naturally quite moving, and they were discovered immediately. The dwarfs on the opposite side found that our undead legion began to charge, and immediately fired a row of grenade-like things at this side. Those things as big as cans fell into the skeleton group and exploded immediately, almost every one of them exploded.
The bullets can completely clear the skeletons in a small area around them, but unfortunately the skeleton soldiers never care about casualties. The cleared area will soon be filled with more skeletons. They will not feel sad for their companions, nor will they be afraid of the enemy's weapons. The skeletons only have a hatred of creatures and hope to kill something to have fun. Therefore, the grenades look quite powerful, but when they encounter skeleton soldiers, they will not have any effect at all and will be directly submerged by the sea of skeletons.
The first round of grenades did not work, and the flamethrower immediately started the second round of attacks. However, the skeletons obviously had little sense of the flames, so they rushed forward directly to the flames. Although some of the skeletons were smoked black by the flames, it did not affect the skeletons' actions at all. The sea of flames was directly filled with the sea of skeletons.
Perhaps because he discovered that his weapon was invalid, the dwarfs on the opposite side finally activated the third line of defense, which was the weapon that blows me away. Although this thing looks very much like a bazooka, it is not a bazooka at all. Although it is also carried on the shoulder to launch, the speed of this thing is much faster than that of a bazooka bull, and it can shoot continuously at three seconds.
There was a constant bang bang sound on the other side, and the skeleton forwards on our side exploded continuously, and the charge footsteps were finally curbed for the first time. Although the damage to skeletons by explosive weapons is far lower than that of humans, the explosion of great power can destroy bone structure after all. The most important thing is that these are all low-level undeads, and the soul fire in their heads is very fragile and easily shaken away by shock waves, so these skeleton soldiers are still very afraid of these weapons. Of course, what I mean is that skeleton soldiers will be hurt by this thing, not that the skeleton soldiers are afraid of this weapon.
Although a large number of skeleton soldiers rushed forward one after another, it was a pity that the attack mode of this weapon was continuously fired, so no matter how hard they tried, the skeleton soldiers couldn't rush up.
Although the stalemate on both sides shocked me, the situation did not last long. Just over a dozen seconds later, the explosion on the opposite side suddenly paused. Krissidna immediately reported that one of the rocket ammunition had been fired.
Although this kind of thing that looks like a rocket launcher can be continuously fired and launches spherical objects much smaller than rockets, no matter what, ammunition is always limited. The opponent's weapon seems to be able to store a certain amount of ammunition and then maintain continuous launch for a certain period of time. However, the ammunition consumption of this continuous launch method is too large. Even if there is a design similar to a magazine, it will be used up. Fortunately, the opponent's weapon is not only one, but several. Otherwise, once the firepower is interrupted, with the skeleton soldier's spirit of not fearing death, it will definitely surge over and subdue the opponent as soon as possible.
Chapter completed!
