Chapter 129: The old is dead
When I entered the game again, an inexplicable feeling grew in my heart. This was something I had never experienced before. It was uneasy, an uneasiness that seemed to have lost something. My heart had never been so anxious, but I just couldn't find the reason. I checked my status and everything was normal and nothing unusual. After contacting Afeng, nothing happened in the league, and the system did not issue any announcements. Even "Tian Media" did not involve me. It was not a problem in the world, was it a "necrotic space"? Because of the connection of the "soul contract", even if I was in the world, if something big happened, I could still feel it. Just like the sudden evolution of Taotao last time, I also had a similar feeling, but this time the mental power did not change, and the feeling was stronger. I don't know what happened?
As soon as I appeared in the "Neon Space", I immediately realized the root of the problem. Since I subdued the old zombie, I have completely lost my sense of it. For the undead creatures that have signed a "soul contract" with me, this situation can only be encountered a stronger enemy. One possibility is that they are forcibly impressed by the other party and forced to betray me. However, because I also have the identity of the fifth corpse king, the old zombie, who is a zombie, is double-bound, and it is impossible to betray me. The only possibility is that the old zombie is dead.
I hurriedly summoned Taotao and phosphorescence. Maybe they could make me understand what happened. In the past, Taotao arrived first, but this time it was the phosphorescence that arrived first. After a while, I saw Taotao rushing over desperately. In my feeling, they also seemed very nervous and uneasy, and there was a hint of fear. It seemed that something very terrible must have happened. When they arrived here, their bodies were still trembling. They gradually returned to peace until they saw me, but they still looked around from time to time, as if they were carefully guarding for something.
Taotao is still very capable and can only express some simple meanings. Fortunately, the Skeleton King Phosphorescence lives a long time ago and is quite knowledgeable. He barely told what happened. Although it is a bit vague and many places are not meaningful, after I repeated the questioning and then combined it to infer and analyze it, I finally figured out what happened.
The old zombie died and died at the hands of a powerful Dark Knight. Speaking of which, it should be the trouble I was strolling in the advanced undead creatures. Maybe I was discovered by this Dark Knight on the way back. It fell in love with Taotao and wanted to subdue it as its mount, so I followed me all the way. However, because I soon left the "Neon Space" for resurrection, I didn't have time to discover this hidden danger, and Taotao, who was alone, became the target of the demons robbed.
The Dark Knight suddenly rushed out and launched an attack on Taotao who was unprepared. He used the unique "intimidation" ability of the advanced undead, which could greatly weaken the opponent's consciousness of resistance, and make the weak undead creature surrender to the power of the strong and let it be slaughtered. Taotao's strength is far less than that of the Dark Knight. Although he was not completely suppressed due to the "pet contract", after all, I, as the master, was not around, and the resistance of my own will alone was still too weak to escape the threat of the Dark Knight. Seeing the Dark Knight approaching slowly, once it fell into the clutches of the demon, Taotao would have the only end of being destroyed. Although he could be resurrected again, the upper limit of 3% of mental power consumption would be a considerable loss to me.
At the critical moment, the old zombie first arrived at the scene and protected Taotao. It was the responsibility I handed over to it when I conquered it. Although it was also affected by "intimidation", the Dark Knight's goal was Taotao. His main energy was to deal with it. He tried to defeat its resistance in one fell swoop. He did not deliberately target other low-level undead creatures around him. The Thousand-year Corpse King, who had signed a "soul contract" with me, was not that bad. He mustered up the courage to jump out and challenge the much more powerful Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight is in a low-level undead creature, facing the extremely weak undead in its eyes. He may have been careless for a moment and relaxed his vigilance towards the surroundings. In addition, most of his attention is focused on Taotao, but he was successfully attacked by the old zombie. Although the huge gap in strength did not cause any harm, he couldn't help but relax his mental oppression in surprise. Taotao seized the opportunity to get rid of the "intimidation" control and fled in panic.
However, the old zombie, who offended the dignity of the high undead, was not so lucky. She was attacked by the low-level undead and saw that the prey that was about to be obtained accidentally escaped. The angered Dark Knight waved his butcher knife without hesitation, and cut the old zombie in half. He harvested another fragile soul under the black and shiny slashing sword.
Lao Zon died like this, and at the cost of his life, he completed the mission of protecting Taotao that I gave him. His soul was completely destroyed. As a subordinate who signed the "soul contract", I did not have the ability to resurrect it like Taotao. Looking back, it was the first capable help I subdued. Although I was a little unwilling to give up at the beginning, I was loyal and dedicated after surrendering to me. I bravely fought against three flame wolves in the dark forest, and resisted the Black Bear King with the Black Bear Ridge... I saved my life several times, helped me and my companions complete one task after another, and set up a
Thanks for a lot of credit. Although the overall level of players has been slightly less and less likely to use it in recent times, I originally planned to capture more advanced undead creatures and let it stay in the "Neon Space" to enjoy its life, but I didn't expect that a disaster would come. Because I was careless for a moment, it sacrificed itself to save Taotao. Although it was just an NPC monster in the virtual game world, as an independent consciousness, who could communicate with me briefly and get along with me for so long, its death still made me feel very uncomfortable.
The Dark Knight who killed the old zombie did not want to give up Taotao, and still pursued it persistently. It may have remembered the information of Taotao's soul fluctuations. Although it was left far behind, it could always know Taotao's direction accurately. However, Taotao, who had learned the lesson, did not give it another chance, and took it around in the low-level undead creatures. Although the phosphorescence did not have the ability to compete with the Dark Knight, it arranged some skeleton shooters from time to time to block its way forward. Although they did not dare to attack, lying on the ground one by one could form a kind of obstacle. Or they would circumvent it or rush over it, which would always delay a little time, which would give Taotao more breathing opportunities.
I chased and fled like this, and I persisted until now. The strength of the Dark Knight made Taotao unable to resist. Although it was far away, the influence of "intimidation" still lingers around it. The longer the time, the deeper the fear in my heart. It was not until I appeared that I gradually offset the fear.
After concentrating and careful discerning, I also felt a powerful spiritual fluctuation, which did not belong to the other four corpse kings, and was even stronger than them. It came straight towards me. It seemed that it was the sinful Dark Knight. It was all my fault for lack of experience and being too careless. I didn't notice its existence earlier, otherwise the old zombie would not have sacrificed in vain.
In any case, the old zombie must be avenged, and the root of threats to Taotao must be eliminated. The challenge rules stipulated in the "Law of the Dead" are only applicable to undead creatures of equal strength. The battle between undead spirits of different levels is not subject to any constraints. The fittest survives the fittest, and the winner is the king. This is the law of the "Neon Space". Although I dare not take a large group of low-level undead spirits to provoke the advanced undead creatures, one or two high-dead spirits who have entered my sphere of influence, I, the newly ascended fifth corpse emperor, still have the ability to fight with one or two high-dead spirits who have entered my sphere of influence.
A general mobilization order was issued to allow all the zombies and skeleton shooters under my command to gather in one place. Although my "pressure" is not as powerful as the "intimidation" of the Dark Knight, I believe it can still offset some of the impact. In addition, the effect of the "soul contract", under my personal command, even these low-level undead with many different strengths should have the courage to resist in the face of such a powerful existence as the Dark Knight. If my guess is not wrong, the combination of more than 10,000 zombies and skeleton shooters should be able to kill the Dark Knight with damaged strength.
According to the knowledge I learned from "The Complete Collection of Undead Creatures", whether it is the Dark Knight or the More Advanced Terror Knight, since they are called knights, they formed their own mounts based on their respective strengths at the beginning of their birth. Generally speaking, they will accompany them for life and never leave them. If they have higher strength, they will reshape their image and form their own mounts through evolution, and usually they will not have the idea of changing mounts.
But everything will be unexpected. Fights between similar species and more powerful killings will also pose a threat to these undead knights. In addition to being damaged by their bodies, their mounts are also easily damaged or even died in battle. Once they lose their mounts, they will lose the honor and dignity of being knights. The only choice is to bet on their lives, or plunder other similar species, or enter the extremely dangerous "Dragon Bone Mountain" to rely on their strength to subdue the ownerless skeleton beasts. It may succeed, and more likely to usher in destruction.
Although this Dark Knight who likes Taotao is still riding a skeleton horse in the description of phosphorescence, according to my judgment, something must have happened to its mount. Otherwise, even if there is phosphorescence on the side, it will not be impossible to catch up with Taotao for so long under the influence of "intimidation". Furthermore, undead creatures are not as complex and greedy as humans. Most of them rely on intuition to act, and will not be happy to see the hunter and occupy some more valuable things. Although the Dark Knight is far stronger than the Black Warrior, a Dark Knight who has lost his mount is not much smarter than the Black Warrior.
When the Dark Knight appeared in front of me, its embarrassing appearance confirmed my guess. The entire body of the mount, the skeleton horse was broken. Except for a few of the main trunks, the remaining auxiliary bones had fallen away. It supported the Dark Knight's huge body, and it was shaking and shaking, as if it could dissipate at any time. It was also unfit. Although its helmet was intact, its armor had broken several large holes. The round shield held in its left hand was only one-third remaining. The blade of the saber cutting with its right hand was also covered with countless gaps of large and small size. It could be seen that it had experienced a desperate battle.
The Dark Knight stopped in front of me and looked at me coldly, but I felt that it was more interested in Taotao. Most of the time, its eyes were on it, and it was quite disdainful to me, and it was not even open to the most basic spiritual communication. Perhaps it had explored my strength and might be a big gap from it, so it despised me so much and refused to communicate with me. However, historical experience has proved countless times that most of those who despise their opponents will not end up well.
The Dark Knight has activated the ability of "intimidation" and continues to impact Taotao and me. I used "pressure" to fight back with all my might. Although it could not have any impact on it, it also offset the negative impact of "intimidation" on Taotao. Under my control, Taotao was calm and seemed very relaxed. After a long stalemate, the Dark Knight saw that the mental attack was invalid, and began to activate the skeleton horse and attacked me.
The Dark Knight with a mount can fully utilize his strength. Although the mount is injured, as long as he can still move, he cannot underestimate the Dark Knight's combat effectiveness. I will not fight with it head-on before killing its skeleton horse. I wait here to meet him and confirm my judgment in person, and to delay time and wait for the undead legion to be arranged in place. Seeing it rushing over, I turned my horse's head and quickly retreated back.
Although he was running away, he had more of me on his back. Taotao's courage became much stronger and he returned to normal. Compared to the Dark Knight's skeleton horse that was about to fall apart, his speed advantage immediately showed up. He was free to speed and everything was at will. According to my instructions, he made some provocative actions at the Dark Knight from time to time to arouse its anger and speed up the consumption of the skeleton horse.
However, I did not directly attack the skeleton horse. It was not that I was ruthless or that I had no chance. The key was that the skeleton horse's crumbling body really worried me. It seemed that it was about to fall without attacking. If it broke up early and lost its mount, the Dark Knight was wearing heavy armor. The hiking speed was probably not much faster. Then when would it take to follow me into the encirclement of the undead legion?
