Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 106: Occupy the mountain as king, rather die than surrender
The sub-camp was repeatedly harassed by the invading Night Shadows and the Crawling Night Shadows. There were not many light NPCs in the sub-camp, and there was no way to connect into a "Holy Light Barrier" formation for large-scale effective defense. Although the personnel were safe, several buildings in the sub-camp suffered varying degrees of damage. Even when the ninth-level Paladin and the Cardinal personally came out to suppress the attack, my men who had been immersed in the attack stayed away from them, and would rather give up the opportunity to attack and hide themselves than fight them head-on. They just looked for places they couldn't take care of and destroyed them to avoid unnecessary casualties.
We fought for a while. In order to hide our strength, I didn't use too many people to attack. I didn't let the subordinates I sent out fight desperately. The light NPCs were also very cautious and didn't leave me a good opportunity to attack. Many buildings and boundary markers in the camp were damaged, but we didn't achieve much substantial results. Seeing that everything that could be destroyed had been turned into nothingness, there was no advantage to be gained. It was useless to stay any longer, so we withdrew in time, leaving only a few night shadows lurking in the camp to continue looking for opportunities to harass them, and the main force turned to other sub-camps to harass them.
We broke into several sub-camps in succession, and we did the same thing. We sent a small number of men to invade the camps and fight for 20 to 30 minutes, trying to destroy some buildings, and then we withdrew our troops to fight elsewhere, just to distract the enemy's attention and cover up our true intentions. However, we also experienced the power of these light NPCs, especially the level 9 cardinals and light paladins. The summoned ones were at least level 9 middle or even upper six-winged seraphim, and their pets were also level 9 upper light unicorns and flying light lions. They were definitely not easy to deal with. It was estimated that only one or two encounters would kill the level 7 upper white dragon. Moreover, there were as many as four in the main camp, and the teleportation array from the camp boundary to the central area was flat and there was no cover. It really made me rack my brains. I couldn't think of any way to ensure the safety of the little white dragon.
Time passed by minute by minute, and six or seven hours of the twelve-hour deadline had already passed. The preparations for the early attack on the sub-camp should have been almost done, so they moved to the main camp and launched a tentative feint attack. Based on the reactions of the more than thirty NPCs stationed there, they would see if there was any chance.
The situation was the same, and even worse than we expected—only the level 8 NPCs were mobilized to defend and hunt everywhere. Probably knowing that the teleportation array was the key to their stay in the "Tianhe Secret Land", the four paladins and the cardinals actually took each side and focused on defense. The two cardinals even cast the "holy light barrier", covering the teleportation array of only seven or eight square meters and the surrounding area of more than ten square meters. Even the ground-walking night shadows and the crouching night shadows could not get close. As long as they appeared nearby, they would be attacked immediately, which made it more difficult for the little white dragon to break through. I sent the horror flying dragon knights to test them several times. No matter how I lured them, the four level 9 NPCs refused to leave their defensive positions. If they got too close and they found an opportunity, they would kill them. Without exception, they were killed on the spot and could not reach the teleportation array at all. Even if I sent several men to rush to the teleportation array with the little white dragon, I was not sure that they would let go of the white dragon horse, which was easier to kill, and attack other targets first. As long as they choose Little White Dragon as their target, even if I send my strongest men, Khufu and Kekexili, to protect them, I am afraid they will not be able to protect themselves against four enemies with strength reaching the upper level of level nine, let alone guarantee the safety of Little White Dragon. Moreover, once the main force is sent out to fight, there may be no room for maneuver - if we cannot quickly gain an absolute advantage and strive for the opportunity for Little White Dragon to reach the teleportation array, and let the NPCs of light stationed there feel the crisis, they may ask for support from other sub-camps or even directly from the Church of Light. Not to mention the enemies in the sub-camps, the teleportation array connecting to the human world is right now, and perhaps it won't take too much time for reinforcements to appear, and then there will be even less hope.
In such a chaotic situation, Afeng and Xiaoyue were useless. Those who went into battle were my subordinates, so I had to make the decision. It was probably because of my participation as an undead wizard that this hidden trial mission was triggered. If I were to change to other professions, I would not be able to challenge those level 8 and level 9 NPCs. It can be said that I was the confidence of them to complete this trial mission. Looking at Xiaoyue's trusting eyes, she gave me a sweet smile from time to time. Although she didn't say much, she was obviously cheering me up, so I couldn't say anything discouraging. There was only one chance, and I didn't dare to rush forward with Xiaobailong easily. I could only rack my brains to find a more reliable way to avoid disappointing her.
I tried every possible means to lure the enemy, whether it was showing weakness or sending more people to attack a building and completely destroy it, but the four level nine PCs refused to leave the vicinity of the teleportation array. Fortunately, they probably didn't see through my true intentions, and probably out of confidence in their own strength, they didn't mobilize other level eight NPCs to help around and further strengthen the protection of the teleportation array, which finally left me with a little hope of breaking through by force.
We have been fighting in the main camp for nearly an hour, but still haven't made much progress. If we continue to fight in vain, the delay may arouse the suspicion of those bright NPCs and suspect that we have other intentions. Should we send out all our men now and rush forward to fight to the death and gamble on Xiaobailong's luck, or choose to retreat temporarily, make a feint at the other two sub-camps and then fight back again, then we can change several tactics to test and see if we can build up an opportunity. If we really can't think of a way to protect Xiaobailong, we will make a desperate attack. Advance or retreat, I must make a decision as soon as possible.
According to the current situation, Afeng also thought that launching a desperate attack was a bad strategy, and there was not much chance of success. It was better not to act rashly unless it was forced. If there was no other way for the time being, there was still some time before the twelve-hour mission, so we might as well choose to retreat first, slow down, and see if we could come up with a more reliable solution. I sighed helplessly, and just when I was about to ask Xiaoyue for her opinion, I chose to retreat in order to advance and temporarily evacuate. My eyes accidentally swept across the front, and I saw a night shadow rushing out from the ground and slamming into a building several times. It was probably because there were no enemies approaching nearby, so it slammed twice more, delaying the time a little longer. Just as I was about to escape underground, a cardinal seized the opportunity and performed the "Doomsday Judgment". A beam of "Judgment Light" shot down on my head. I could not avoid it, but unexpectedly, another night shadow rushed out from the ground next to me, with its body raised high, and it seemed that it was also planning to hit the building. One fell, and the other jumped, just blocking the attack route of the "Light of Judgment" and was hit hard to the ground, taking a heavy blow for the lucky Night Shadow walking on the ground.
After witnessing this scene, and thinking about the use of the Night Shadows during the Battle of Tiancheng, I suddenly thought of a solution. Even during the march and command of the battle, I never stopped casting the "Summoning of the Dead" and summoned all of my more than 200 Night Shadows. There were not many casualties in the battle, so it should be enough for use. As long as the coordination is appropriate, it may be possible to cover the little white dragon to reach the teleportation array safely.
The matter was of great importance, so I dared not neglect it. I suppressed my ecstasy and thought about it several times. I confirmed that this plan should be feasible, so I told Afeng and Xiaoyue. After some discussion and consideration, we quickly decided to implement it. However, this method required a lot of time for Xiaoyue and I to prepare in time, especially when we were attacked. To achieve this requirement, we still need some time to practice, so we still chose to withdraw our troops and move to the other two sub-camps that had not been harassed yet. While concealing our true intentions, we took the opportunity to use this time to practice coordinated tactics and strive to successfully complete the trial mission.
All the Light camps were harassed, and two sub-camps were even looted twice. They were all harassment and destruction, and no fierce offensive was launched to threaten the safety of those Light NPCs. There was only one hour left to complete the task. Xiaoyue and I had cooperated with each other several times, and we had a good understanding of each other. We had also practiced the tactics, so we returned to the main camp and prepared to launch the final wave of attacks.
At first, it was just a harassing attack, and the countermeasures taken by the Light NPCs did not change. The four level 9 NPCs were still responsible for guarding the teleportation array, and the other level 8 NPCs protected other buildings in the camp and killed as many invading enemies as possible. After a while of fighting, I saw that the Light NPCs did not notice anything unusual, so I suddenly showed up and rushed into the camp with Khufu, Kekexili, Wu Ma, Taotao, etc., and participated in the attack.
Since I broke into the Heavenly City alone, I have become the most wanted criminal of the Church of Light, with more than a hundred lives of players and NPCs. The wanted period is one month at most. During this period, in addition to the normal benefits, the players or NPCs who kill me can also get additional rewards specially awarded by the Church of Light. I have become a "fat sheep" with rich oil and water, and everyone in the light profession wants to kill me. I dare not show up in public, and I may be attacked at any time. Even if those NPCs of light don't know that I am a world-famous devil, my body looks red and black at this time. I am definitely a sinner, and they will definitely not miss the opportunity to kill me and get super rewards. Anyway, the current war is not a big threat to them. Suddenly, more than a dozen level 8 NPCs rushed towards me. Although the four level 9 NPCs did not move and were still holding their posts, the two cardinals were unwilling to let me go. They kept performing "Judgment Day" and bombarded me.
Seeing that the enemy's heart had dispersed, the idle personnel who still had spare energy were almost all attracted by me, and the notice of starting the action was issued. Xiaoyue rode the little white dragon and rushed into the camp accompanied by Afeng. Although this would slightly affect the running speed of the little white dragon, only by riding it could Xiaoyue command its actions in the first time according to my instructions, and form a tacit cooperation with each other to cover them to safely reach the teleportation array.
After discussion, we simply gave up the plan of launching a full-scale attack to contain the enemy. Apart from my appearance to lure them, we did not use too many of our men to attack, lest we end up making things worse and attract the attention of the NPCs of light. If we were going to do it, we had to do it thoroughly, and give it a try. Success or failure would depend on this one move.
While directing Khufu and the others' actions, dodging and parrying the attacks of those level 8 NPCs, I kept in touch with Xiaoyue and constantly corrected her route forward - there were night shadows lurking on both sides of the road, and only by walking in the area they protected could I ensure their safety. However, in order not to alert the light NPCs too early, she and Afeng rushed towards me at first. My plan of luring them with my body was very effective. I ran all the way to the road without being intercepted by the other party. It was not until an NPC started to rush over to intercept me that I turned towards the direction of the teleportation array.
A Light Phantom Knight rushed down from midair, wielding a silver spear. If Xiaoyue was entangled by him, she would definitely not be his opponent. Not only could she not escape, but the gap in strength was too large. I was afraid that she would not be able to hold on for more than a few rounds before she would be defeated. I naturally would not give him a chance to attack. Seeing that he was approaching Xiaoyue quickly, several ground-walking night shadows suddenly jumped out from the ground in front of him and blocked the attack route of the Phantom Knight with their bodies. The silver spear only stabbed the body of the ground-walking night shadow and did not pose a threat to Xiaoyue. When he quickly took off and turned to launch an assault from another direction, under my timely instructions, several ground-walking night shadows jumped up and intercepted him in time, preventing him from approaching Xiaoyue to launch an attack.
After several consecutive entanglements, the Phantom Knight was unable to break through the interception of the Ground Night Shadow. Xiaoyue quickly rushed towards the teleportation array and entered the attack range of the level 9 NPC. At this time, they had also noticed Xiaoyue's abnormal behavior, but facing Xiaoyue alone, they still did not take it too seriously. They just adjusted their positions and prepared to fight. They did not strengthen their vigilance or call back the surrounding level 8 NPCs to cooperate in defense.
Whether it was the close-range attack of the Phantom Knight, the "Great Saint Spear Stab" of the Silver Robe Bishop, or even the "Doomsday Judgment" of the Cardinal, the Night Shadow of the Earth took it all on behalf of Xiaoyue. Running all the way, he forced his way through several interceptions. In front of him was the interception of the Paladin. Under the wielding of his golden spear, even the huge Night Shadow of the Earth would be easily picked up and swept away. One or two alone could not play a big role. And even if he rushed to the teleportation array, he still needed some time to break through the defense of the "Holy Light Barrier" jointly cast by the two Cardinals before he could step onto the teleportation array. If he was not careful, he might be taken advantage of by the Paladin and meet with an unexpected event.
As the Paladin began to act, more than a hundred ground-walking night shadows that had been lurking nearby rushed out one after another, following Xiaoyue's route, and intertwined with each other with their bodies over ten meters long, meeting in the air, forming a three-sided barrier that could effectively block attacks from the left and right sides and from the air. In the middle was a passage, which Xiaoyue could ride through. As Xiaoyue advanced, the ground-walking night shadows on both sides continued to emerge from the ground and build a protective passage. When she passed, the ground-walking night shadows behind her quickly dismantled and retreated underground again, rushing to a certain place in the foreword according to my orders, and continued to participate in the construction of the protective passage. At the same time, dozens of crouching night shadows suddenly appeared near the teleportation array, rushed forward and launched a fierce attack on the "protective barrier", forcing the cardinal to do his best to maintain the luck of the "holy light barrier". The two seraphs and the flying light lions also joined the battle, attacking and driving away those crouching night shadows, and had no time to split themselves to cooperate with the two Paladins to chase Xiaoyue.
This section is the most critical journey. Xiaoyue must strictly follow the route I specified, so as not to escape the protection of the ground-walking night shadow and be directly attacked by the light NPC. And I must also arrange the specific actions of each ground-walking night shadow, and need to issue various commands in time to command them to separate or merge, so that the protection channel can smoothly lead to the teleportation array. All of this must be done simultaneously. If there is a mistake in the cooperation between Xiaoyue and me, surrounded by four level 9 NPCs, it may bring fatal disaster to Xiaoyue, who is not even a level 7 professional master player.
In order to increase the difficulty of attacking the Light NPC, the Ground Night Shadows did not build a protective channel too far in advance, so Xiaoyue's forward speed was not very fast, and we did not arrange the route in a straight line. The protective channel kept turning around, with an uncertain direction and a circuitous advance. The two Paladins could not intercept in front and had no way to directly threaten Xiaoyue in the channel. If they only attacked the Ground Night Shadows on the periphery, because their bodies were connected and entangled, and they borrowed strength from each other, even a strong Paladin would not be able to pick them up with one shot and quickly destroy the operation of the protective channel. They could only do it after firing a few more shots and killing them. With this little delay, Xiaoyue had already safely passed through this channel and could not be intercepted by them.
NPCs are not as good as expert players in responding to emergencies. According to the usual method, the two paladins attacked several times in succession without success. Before they could figure out the corresponding cracking strategy, Xiaoyue had successfully rushed to the teleportation array. At this time, the "holy light barrier" guarding the teleportation array had not been broken. Hundreds of ground-walking night shadows quickly arrived. According to our previous design, several closed "multi-story buildings" with passages were arranged around the periphery of the "holy light barrier" to protect Xiaoyue in the innermost part, so that she could move freely and hide in any area at will. If the paladin wants to attack Xiaoyue, he must first spend some time to forcibly dismantle the defense barrier built by multiple ground-walking night shadows before he can break into the interior. Moreover, I can adjust the layout at any time according to the specific situation, arrange the ground-walking night shadows to enter and exit from the underground, close or reinforce, and repair a certain section, notify Xiaoyue of changes in the outside world, and instruct her to move to a safe place in time, so that the paladin will never threaten her easily. Thanks to my artifact "Control of Death", I have enhanced my control over my undead subordinates. Otherwise, I would not be able to command them to complete such a delicate and complex operation.
The iron wall built in this way made it impossible for the two paladins to attack. After a struggle, they only killed some of the outer night shadows and had no way to break into the interior. Under the desperate and frenzied attack of the crouching night shadows, in order to ensure their own safety, the two cardinals finally had no way to continue to maintain the "holy light barrier" and dispersed the protection of the teleportation array. At this time, the eight-level NP Cs who came back to help were still halfway, and the fastest was still a few steps away. I quickly removed the protection of the night shadows, but while the two paladins were close to the ground, several night shadows rushed out from the nearby underground and surrounded them in the middle, preventing them from attacking Xiaoyue directly. Xiaoyue took the opportunity to urge the little white dragon and rushed to the teleportation array.
As long as they reach the destination safely, the next development is no longer controlled by others - even if they are killed again, Xiaobailong can still use the "self-destruction" ability to destroy the teleportation array. As Xiaobailong's body flashed the red light before self-destruction, the surrounding ground-walking night shadows and crouching night shadows received my instructions and hurriedly scattered, leaving only a few to hold the two paladins back, so that they could not turn back in time and pick it up before Xiaobailong self-destructed and failed to blow up the teleportation array. Xiaoyue still sat firmly on Xiaobailong's back, and waved to me from a distance, facing the impending death with a smile on her face.
The NPCs of light probably recognized the current state of Little White Dragon. Seeing that they could not stop it, not only did the four level 9 NPCs retreat in panic, but even the level 8 NPCs who came to help also stopped and turned around to flee. Unless they received special instructions, they would not do anything and save their lives first. Under normal circumstances, this was usually the policy of high-level NPCs.
"Boom", accompanied by a deafening explosion, a red light lit up, as if countless pieces of flesh and blood were flying everywhere. Xiaobailong, Xiaoyue and the teleportation array under their feet disappeared without a trace. The nearby bright NPCs also suffered varying degrees of trauma, and then stopped all movements, and their bodies emitted white light. After flashing several times, they also disappeared, probably being forcibly driven away from the "Tianhe Secret Land".
Finally, it succeeded. There was no violent attack, but a clever one. Relying on the special function of the Night Shadow, it achieved its goal without any danger at a low cost. It was more secure to attack violently, and successfully completed this hidden trial task. The hard work of waiting for each other finally got the due reward. In seven days, Xiaoyue will become the first player in "Tianxia" to have a ninth-level upper-level wind unicorn pet. She is also a female player who was not very famous before. I believe she will become another legend in "Tianxia".
Although Afeng and I were not affected by the self-explosion of the little white dragon, we were not able to stay longer to see Storm VII again. With the completion of the trial mission, after the light NPC was forcibly driven away, they also automatically left the "Tianhe Secret Land" and appeared in their respective rooms in the Tongxin League's residence, which saved Afeng the pain of running back and forth. I hope that the wind unicorns can seize the opportunity when the power of the Church of Light is temporarily expelled, launch a comprehensive counterattack, and recapture the sphere of influence occupied by the light unicorns, so as to prevent them from becoming bigger, so as to avoid providing more and better mounts for the Paladins of Light in the future.
After a good rest, I attended the thank-you banquet specially arranged by Xiaoyue. Afeng didn't come because she had something to do, so I was the only one who attended. Accompanied by her beautiful smile, my ears were filled with all kinds of compliments that I felt were sincere and heartfelt, which made me feel a little light-hearted. After a long chat, we had a great time and left. It was not a wasted trip.
After finishing Xiaoyue's business, I, who had just been promoted to the eighth-level Undead Grand Mage, still had to focus on the "Dead Space" to further improve my strength. And releasing the Flame Bone Demon Kekexili from the "Soul Sealing Card" was also to prepare for the next trip to Dragon Bone Mountain.
Dragon Bone Mountain is endless, spanning the entire "Dead Soul Space", dividing it into two parts. We, the Undead Wizards, have always been active in this half, but after gradually being promoted to a higher level, the undead creatures in this area can no longer meet our needs. Except for the three forbidden areas of "Yellow Wind Valley", "Hell Volcano", and "Bottomless Abyss" and the royal families of some races, there are no more advanced and diverse arms for the eighth-level professional Undead Wizards to conquer. The best choice is to cross Dragon Bone Mountain and go to the other half of the area to seek better development. And a strong person like me is more capable of staying in Dragon Bone Mountain to conquer all kinds of bone dragons scattered throughout it.
I did not bring more men with me to the Dragon Bone Mountain. According to the experience of Khufu and some brave undead wizard "pioneers", the territory of Dragon Bone Mountain cannot be entered by a large army. The scale and momentum are too large, which will be regarded as a challenge to the dignity of the bone dragon clan, and it is easy for them to attack in groups. Moreover, at most three or five undead can be dispatched for siege. If there are more, it is easy to cause other bone dragons to see the injustice and draw their swords to help. It is impossible to dispatch the undead army to rush into Dragon Bone Mountain according to the traditional tactics and win by numbers. Therefore, in addition to Taotao, who served as a mount, I only brought Khufu and Kekexili, who were of the lower level of level 9, with me. Wuma, who can fly, is the "public enemy of the undead". Once the traces are revealed, it is tantamount to sending them to death. The strength of the Horror Dragon Knights is quite different. They are probably more vulnerable to the high-level bone dragon "Dragon Power" than other undead of the same level. Qitlei is left alone. Even if he cooperates with Taotao, who is also at the middle level of level 8, he is far from being a match for the lowest-level green bone dragon in air combat. He should still take the route of ground warfare. Just like dealing with the green bone dragon at the beginning, attract them to the ground to launch an attack. With Khufu and Kekexili working together, I believe they can easily deal with the green bone dragon above level 8 and the bone dragon of the same level 9.
The edge of Dragon Bone Mountain is a rolling hilly terrain, where many low-level undead animals live, which pose no threat to us at all. Some foolish and blind guys came forward to cause trouble, but they were all sent away one by one by Kekexili swinging the Fire Bone Hammer. After being suffocated in the "Soul Sealing Tablet" for so long, and having just left the "Hell Volcano" and truly come into contact with the colorful world outside, it seemed particularly excited and eager to fight after being liberated. Those who dared to invade were not left alive under the Fire Bone Hammer, and even their weak soul energy was not wasted. It took a little time to absorb it one by one. It seems that they are used to hard times and are not used to enjoying the good life of "enough food and clothing".
As we went deeper, we could see countless individual peaks of different heights in the distance. They were not connected to each other, but separated by a long valley, which formed the core area of Dragon Bone Mountain. According to Khufu, each peak was the territory of a bone dragon. According to the nature of the environment, it was suitable for different types of bone dragons to inhabit, and they could be robbed through challenges. The strong would occupy the mountain and be the king. The losers, if they did not die in battle, could only wander around and become homeless children with nowhere to go.
Bone dragons began to fly out from the sky along the way. Before I reached the area where the Bone Dragon Mountain stood, I couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to find one to test it. To be safe, I chose the weakest green bone dragon to attack first to see if it would be easy to succeed.
Another green-bone dragon flew over from the sky in the distance. Taotao used the "Fire Dragon Invincible" skill and rushed forward quickly. He did not dare to fight the green-bone dragon in close combat, so he commanded the fire dragon to hit it from a distance. Although the green-bone dragon was huge, about five or six meters long, its movements were not clumsy, and it dodged the attack. It seemed to be very angry at the provocative behavior of Taotao, a weak alien. It roared angrily, turned around and rushed towards Taotao with great momentum.
Tao Tao alone would definitely not be a match for the green bone dragon. He did not dare to fight and immediately fled towards the ground. The bone dragon clan is proud of their status and will not let the enemy go easily. The green bone dragon roared again and chased after it. I hid aside and watched, leaving Khufu and Kekexili to fight against this green bone dragon together. I believe it should be no problem to defeat it.
When approaching the ground, Taotao dodged to the side, and Khufu and Kekexili suddenly rushed out and intercepted the green bone dragon. Two more uninvited guests rushed out, and the green bone dragon seemed more and more angry, baring its teeth and claws and roaring loudly, and started a big battle. The influence of the green bone dragon's "dragon power" was not obvious to Khufu and Kekexili, who were stronger than it. Especially Khufu, who had been accustomed to the oppressive feeling of the bone dragon's "dragon power" more than a thousand years ago, and his performance was even more relaxed. Kekexili also often dealt with Hades, the king of the underworld dragon, and had seen big scenes. He felt a little nervous when facing the "dragon power" for the first time, but his performance was normal. The two joined forces, you fight, I hammer, all of which were power-based play, and launched a tit-for-tat offensive war with the green bone dragon.
Even though it was a one-on-two battle, the Green Bone Dragon was still very arrogant at the beginning. It waved its claws and flew low, trying to grab Khufu and Kekexili, but was pushed away by the two of them. It also hit the Green Bone Dragon several times, shaking its body and almost losing its balance. It restrained itself a little and began to spit poison|dragon flames to assist in the attack. Then it fell to the ground again, trying to score points and use its strength advantage to defeat the enemy. It was a pity that Khufu and Kekexili were both stronger than it. The sticks and hammers burned a lot of its skeleton. From time to time, it was affected by the curse. The situation was getting worse and worse. It could only defend itself, but had no power to fight back. It had no chance of winning.
Khufu's "Thunderbolt" hit the left bone wing again. The green bone dragon staggered and almost fell to the ground. It barely stabilized its body and desperately sprayed several mouthfuls of poisonous dragon flames to force Khufu and Kekexili to retreat. Without waiting for them to rush forward to continue to entangle, it spread its wings and flew up, circling over their heads for several times, but did not rush down to fight. After roaring at them several times, it turned around and flew away, ignoring them and escaping, ending this battle.
I was full of hope, but got such a precious result. I watched the figure of the green bone dragon disappear into the sky in frustration. I was really angry. There was no way. Compared with the army, the air force had this advantage. It was flexible and agile. If you can't beat it, you can at least escape. I released a "mental attack", but it didn't seem to work well for the bone dragon with "dragon power". It just made it sway in the air for a few times, then it returned to normal and continued to fly away. Fortunately, through this actual battle, it also proved that with the ability of Khufu and Kekexili, it can be said that it is quite easy to deal with the green bone dragon. The two of them joined forces, and they didn't even need to use too many skills. They could easily win with conventional attacks. Anyway, the most abundant thing in Dragon Bone Mountain is bone dragons. It won't take much time to find a target.
After a short break, Taotao used the same method to lure down another green-bone dragon. After a fierce battle, Khufu and Kekexili naturally had the upper hand, and beat it left it in a state of panic. Seeing victory in sight, the shameless green-bone dragon used the 36 strategies and fled, and fled the battlefield. Under the circumstances, I assigned Taotao to intercept it in the air. After a while of fighting, it sprayed poison all over its body and swept it away with its tail. Even with my "mental attack", it could not be stopped, and I watched it escape safely again.
Once can be said to be accidental, and twice it was the same, which can only mean that this is probably the habit of the green bone dragon or even the bone dragon family. When the enemy is too strong, they will never fight to the death, and the first choice is to escape. Of course, to be more precise, this should be just the habit of wandering bone dragons without a fixed territory. Through re-interrogating Khufu and carefully asking about some related situations, the bone dragon family seems to attach great importance to their territory, almost as if it is their own life. Those bone dragons who occupy the mountains as kings will not give up their territories easily. When they encounter challenges to compete for their territories, they usually either die in battle or are forcibly driven away after being severely injured. They will never choose to escape when they find that they are defeated. I don't have the patience to continue to entangle with those wandering bone dragons who dare not fight to the death. I took Khufu, Kekexili and Taotao to those towering mountains to find a bone dragon that occupies the mountains as kings to see what the result will be.
I carefully avoided the attention of the bone dragons that appeared more and more frequently in the sky, and finally arrived at the foot of a mountain. I turned into a bat and carefully went up to scout. After all, I couldn't afford to offend the ninth-level middle-level white bone dragon and the ninth-level upper-level black bone dragon. If this was their territory, Khufu and the others would be in danger if they rashly broke in.
Generally, the outer peaks are occupied by some lower-level bone dragons, and this one is no exception. Although it is not the lowest-level green bone dragon, the ninth-level lower-level bone dragon is still not a match for Khufu and Kekexili. As long as it refuses to give up its territory and escape, it will definitely be defeated.
As soon as it found out that we had invaded its territory, the bone dragon was naturally furious. It immediately came forward and showed strong hostility. Its offensive was much more fierce than that of the two wandering green bone dragons. It was determined to resist the invasion of foreign forces. The strength of the bone dragon was stronger than that of the green bone dragon. For the undead life, the dragon flame with strong acid corrosion ability was more lethal than the poison dragon flame. Moreover, those who were qualified to occupy the mountain as the king were the best of the bone dragon family, and they had rich combat experience. Even if it was a one-on-two battle, relying on the advantage of air combat, they did not fall behind for a while.
However, as expected, the bone dragon will defend its territory to the death. As the battle continued, facing the attack from Khufu and Kekexili, the bone dragon could not hold on and gradually fell into a disadvantage. Even though it was repeatedly hit hard, it would not retreat. At most, it would fly into the air to avoid the attack, and then rush down to continue the fierce attack, trying its best to drive us intruders out of its territory.
When I activated the "Touch of Death" and joined the battle with Taotao, the Bone Dragon that refused to escape finally couldn't escape the fate of being defeated. I sucked away only a little mental strength from it and it was no longer able to move. Then I walked forward and used the "Soul Contract" to subdue it.
Failure, failure again! After more than ten minutes, there is no way to forcefully subdue it. It's really strange. I should have been able to subdue the lower-level ninth-level undead. When I subdued Kekexili, it was also smooth sailing and completed in one go without much delay. How can I deal with an unknown, lower-level ninth-level bone dragon? I have been using it for more than ten minutes, but I feel that there is no sign of success. Could it be that the will of this bone dragon is as firm as those special types of undead creatures with names and surnames, and it is not willing to surrender easily?
No matter how I threatened it, even after draining away its mental power until it was on the verge of death, I still couldn't force it to surrender. The "Soul Contract" showed no signs of success. In desperation, I could only use "Blood Transformation" and try to sign a "Soul Contract" with it. Although the will of the Bone Dragon did not loosen and it was still resisting stubbornly, my basic mental power, which was 14% higher, was enough to forcefully impact its soul and weaken its mental resistance, hoping to successfully sign the contract.
Even so, the first thirty minutes of "blood transformation" was still in vain, and he had to continue to stimulate the second "blood transformation" and continuously perform the "soul contract" for more than ten minutes before he finally saw the expected flash of white light and accepted this bone-transforming dragon that would rather die than surrender as his disciple.
It was so exhausting. Except for those famous ones, it seemed that ordinary undead were so difficult to subdue. My basic mental power was at least one level higher. I had hope, but I just couldn't succeed. It took me more than 40 minutes. Was it just my bad luck to run into a particularly stubborn person, or was it the same for the entire bone dragon clan? The difficulty of subduing was one level higher than that of ordinary undead of the same level of other races? This was not just its instinctive mental resistance that was resisting spontaneously. In my opinion, it was consciously resisting my subjugation.
After a short rest, I saw that Huagulong had regained some energy, so I couldn't wait to ask, "You have been completely defeated by me, and there is no chance of recovery. Don't you fear death at all? Why do you insist on not giving in?"
"To defend my territory." The Bone Dragon that was forcefully subdued by me seemed extremely lost, depressed, and frustrated, but this answer was firm and resolute.
"Defend the territory? What do you mean? If you become my subordinate, will you lose the ownership of this mountain?"
"That's right. We, the noble Bone Dragon clan, regard owning a territory as a symbol of glory. When I lose my autonomy and have to obey your will, it means that I have lost the qualification to continue to have this glory. I will no longer have my own fixed territory in Dragon Bone Mountain and will become an inferior wandering Bone Dragon. In the nature of our Bone Dragon clan, we would rather die in battle than lose our territory."
