Chapter 490: Getting Closer to Despair (Part 4)
If someone looks down from the top of the gem abyss at this moment, you can definitely see countless gray-white undead climbing up the cliff. The dense undead is like climbing out of hell, making people feel numb and frightened when they look at it. However, under the extremely dark environment, no one will find traces of these undead.
In fact, if it weren't for the striking slashes by the Bone Demon in Berkner Town before, it would probably be that the undead had been brought to the abyss by the stones or wood that were smashed from the head. Because I don't know when the undead will arrive, Chen Kai and the others would drop a rock or wood from the gem abyss every hour before to test. As for how to test, it's very simple, it's the player's experience acquisition system.
However, the experience system is sometimes not particularly accurate, but at least it can allow Chen Kai and the others to determine whether there is a army of undead under the gem abyss. Unfortunately, because of this attack by the Necromancer King Arthur, the players who were originally arranged to throw stones in the gem abyss did not go again. At least no one went there before Chen Kai completed the loss statistics of Berkner Town and the new round of defense facilities layout.
Looking at the list of losses in his hand, Chen Kai's face looked very ugly. He knew that the losses in this wave of attacks were huge, but when he saw hundreds of corpses of residents covered with white cloth slowly loaded into the coffin, he still couldn't help but feel angry. Some of these corpses covered with white cloth were very small, and they were children among the residents of Berkner Town, and even newly born babies. Listening to the crying sounds around him, Chen Kai felt that his chest was as hard as a big stone pressing on him.
Because Chen Kai knew that he could not let the remains of these residents be buried in peace, in order to prevent them from becoming undead, all the remains will eventually be cremated after a simple farewell ceremony. In this magical world that focuses on burial, it is very unacceptable. But it is beautiful and the method is not acceptable. All residents do not want their relatives to become undead, especially some people who have good relationships with dwarves to know more about the pain of the remains of relatives and friends turning into undeads. Therefore, although it is very painful for the corpses of relatives and friends to turn into ashes, it is better than seeing their relatives die with their eyes open and unable to rest in peace.
Looking at the coffin gradually being swallowed by the fire, Chen Kai's face dimmed, but in the end he shook his head and walked towards the city wall that was trying to repair. He gently touched the huge gap on the city wall that was being cut by the sword light with his hand. Chen Kai felt a burst of stinging pain in his palm. The rich power of death wrapped in the cracks of the rocks and the sword energy that had not completely dissipated made the rocks on the city wall very fragile, and at the same time it constantly exuded a terrifying aura.
Although the rock touched by Chen Kai's hand is still complete, as long as the death aura and sword energy contained in it completely dissipates, the entire rock will become as fragile as flour and will be crushed with a light pinch. Therefore, if you want to completely repair the city wall, the first thing you have to do is to clear these rocks eroded by sword aura and death power before you can repair the damaged wall again.
Feeling the stinging pain on his palm, Chen Kai clenched his hand with force, and a white holy flame began to slowly burn on his palm under the influence of his own power and constantly collided with the death power and sword energy. Feeling the terrifying impact of the palm of his palm, Chen Kai's face turned pale because he found that he had consumed thousands of holy flames lit by magic. He could not even burn out the death power attached to a rock more than ten centimeters, let alone the sword energy contained in it.
In other words, these stones cannot be discarded at will, and can only be stored in a rough manner, otherwise it will cause serious pollution to the land. If Chen Kai wants to create a death zone where no grass can grow, then just throw these damaged rocks there. The death power revealed after the rocks are crushed can completely turn the ground covered by the stone into a dead land within dozens of meters, which is a deserted dead land.
So the players who are cleaning up the ruins soon had an extra job, which was to concentrate the collected rocks. The rocks were wrapped in a thick rock shell outside by the earth element caster, and then sealed, and then transported to the edge of the gem abyss.
"I hope I won't create an abyss of the undead!" Chen Kai sighed slowly as he looked at the rocks weighing at least hundreds of kilograms. Because the rock shells created by the players were very fragile, and when hundreds of rocks containing rich death power and sword energy gathered, a very strange result was produced, causing the fragile shells to become more likely to disintegrate.
In fact, if Chen Kai hadn't let these players leave, there would probably be players who could not bear the extremely rich death power around them and began to run away. Even though this time, the temple-type professions were all living in the gem abyss, and almost all of them were using the sacred attribute fighting spirit to fight against the death power around them. However, the closed death aura in these rocks all came from a high-level legendary undead. Not to mention that the level was nearly twice theirs, but the power quality alone was higher than theirs, I don't know how many times it was.
With Chen Kai's arm swing, hundreds of rocks rolled down the bottomless gem abyss. Then one after another was pushed down the abyss. The thirteen attacks of the Dead King forced Chen Kai to create thousands of rocks wrapped in dead energy and sword energy, and he was eventually thrown into the gem abyss. As for why he was thrown into the gem abyss, in addition to the bottomless gem abyss, another reason was probably because Chen Kai knew that a large wave of undead was approaching under the gem abyss. He hoped to use this method to prevent the other party from coming to the ground quickly.
Rocks fell into the abyss, but even after a minute or two, Chen Kai and the others did not receive any tips for experience, because most of the rocks were eroded into powder by the terrifying death power and sword energy in the air. They floated down from the air like snow, and almost no one encountered the undead. On the other hand, it was because most of the undead were still dozens of kilometers away from the ground at this moment. No matter how fast the stones fell, they would not be able to encounter them without three or four minutes. However, when some players who were addicted to throwing stones began to discard the rocks that had originally accumulated around the gem abyss, some undead were hit by the stones falling from their heads and fell into the bottomless abyss.
When an experience acquisition prompt appears in the player's field of view, the players standing next to the gem abyss feel not ecstasy but fear at first. Because they thought of the terrifying sword light in the night sky before, and the even more terrifying aura of death.
"Smash! Smash it for me!!!" Chen Kai's extremely loud voice instantly resounded throughout the gem abyss, because he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Perhaps this would attract even more crazier revenge from the high-level legendary undead, but Chen Kai thought that it was the only opportunity to weaken the undead troops.
However, while smashing the rocks down, Chen Kai also notified Xu Fei, who had just resurrected in the city, and asked him to start evacuating the residents to Kelda City on his back. After all, Berkner Town is about to become a battlefield, allowing ordinary indigenous residents who have no combat effectiveness to continue to stay in the city is a disguised disregard for human life.
Although most residents have been ready to evacuate from their homes in Berkner, many people still cried when the news really came. For players, the world in the game is a place for them to play and a rare scene in their lives. However, for the residents in the game, the place where they exist is their home. It is not an idiom for the residents in the game, but a very realistic thing. Although the town of Berkner cannot be said to be their hometown, it has completely become their home in such a long time.
When the last rock was dropped, Chen Kai waved his hand to the players beside him without hesitation to retreat. At this moment, no one was happy with the increasing experience value in the experience bar. Instead, he chose to run wildly to try to return to a safer town before the terrifying existence went crazy. Chen Kai kept moving his legs, and his face looked back from time to time. The moment he was about to step into the outer wall, a terrifying sword light roared out from under the gem abyss, and countless scattered rock powder were brought out. The sword light rose into the air, and then quickly dispersed into countless tiny crescent-straight sword energy falling around the gem abyss.
If Chen Kai and the others were still staying around the gem abyss at this moment, then these countless small sword energy would probably fall on them and cut them into countless pieces. Looking at the terrifying sword energy falling, Chen Kai's mood became even worse, but fortunately, after the sword energy dissipated, the extremely terrifying existence did not appear in front of Chen Kai and the others.
When Chen Kai returned to the low city wall, he turned his head and lay on the city wall and saw a white bone palm slowly climbing on the edge of the cliff under the dust in the gem abyss. This was the first undead to jump out of the gem abyss. It was a lonely skeleton soldier who had no one to follow, but he was definitely not the last undead to appear in front of Chen Kai. Because after this skeleton soldier stepped on the city wall, a second skeleton soldier appeared in just a dozen seconds, and the number of skeleton soldiers appeared later became faster and faster. Of course, compared with the number of undead troops that originally attacked the underground defense line, the skeleton soldiers in front of him were still extremely rare, even if it was only more than one hundred in a minute.
However, as time goes by, more and more undeads appear in front of Chen Kai. The pressure on the guardians on the city wall is getting greater and greater. Chen Kai had a voice in his heart telling him that now is not the best time to attack the undead. Not to mention that there are not many undeads gathered together now, the position of the other party alone exceeds the maximum shooting range of the catapult. The random launch of the catapult not only wastes ammunition, but also easily exposes the location of the catapult, although perhaps the location of these catapults has long been known to the other party.
So although the players on the city wall became extremely nervous and kept looking at Chen Kai whose head was only exposed to the city wall, in the end there was no stone caster fire. As for the bed crossbow with a longer range, it didn't even open the winch. However, Chen Kai still signaled the players to load the crossbow arrows on the launch slot. However, there was no need to rush to pull the crossbow string.
Although these undead immediately ran forward for a long distance after climbing to the ground, they just wandered around the gem abyss and did not leave the gem abyss. Even if the number of undead increased to thousands, they would have patroled even more.
Seeing the increasing number of undeads, Chen Kai was in a very bad mood, but his fear of the legendary undead made him afraid to send troops to clear these undeads. The undeads of the high-level legends have become a spell that is tightly wrapped around Chen Kai's heart, and this spell makes him look at the undeads as if he is looking at a gradually falling guillotine. I don't know when the guillotine will cut off his head.
"Boss! Are you just letting the number of undead continue to increase?" Fei Yun's voice came from Chen Kai. He didn't know why Chen Kai had to wait like this, but he was as scared as the terrifying legendary undead.
"Wait!!" Chen Kai grabbed the wall that was not completely petrified along the edge of the city wall. Under his terrifying power, the wall that was not completely petrified but was still extremely strong was scratched with several clearly visible fingerprints.
"Okay!" Looking at Chen Kai's scarlet eyes, Fei Yun wanted to say something, but in the end he turned into a sigh. But soon his body, which was about to leave, was pulled back by Chen Kai.
"Fourth brother! Go and notify the second brother, let him transfer Drake and Arnault to the southern castle, and at the same time, notify the dwarves, and try to move to the south if possible. If the city cannot be guarded, then the castle in the south can at least be slightly resisted, at least much stronger than Kelda City. Because when Chen Kai was pretending to be public and private, he installed several large-scale magic crystal cannons into the southern castle. The beams fired by those magic crystal cannons are at least the power of a level seven spell, but the magic crystal consumed by each launch is also extremely terrifying. The most important thing is that these magic crystal cannons are all real smuggled goods, and even Prime Minister Capello cannot cover Chen Kai if it is discovered.
However, that was before the undead invaded. If I had known that there would be undead at the high-level legend, let alone the medium-caliber magic crystal cannon, even the giant-caliber magic cannon, Prime Minister Capello would have to pay Chen Kai. Of course, the installation money and manufacturing cost must be paid by Chen Kai himself, after all, it costs tens of millions of gold coins. One fired one, which cost millions of gold coins. Of course, such things are just something that may cause trouble for undead at the high-level legend, and may not necessarily threaten the lives of the other party. Unless the giant magic cannons guarding the Demon Sect or the border fortress may be brought over to kill a undead in the high-level legend.
The players of Berkner Town watched the residents slowly evacuate from the city gate in the rear and head towards the city of Kelda in the north. However, what surprised them was that the evacuation of the residents was only just the residents, and finally the traces of the Tauren and the Black Armored Cavalry appeared. If it weren't for knowing that Chen Kai was still guarding the city wall, all players would probably think he was going to escape. Of course, these players soon knew the direction of the evacuation of the Black Armored Cavalry and the Tauren, which was the castle that guarded the Ardinis in the south.
After arriving at this castle, all the black armored cavalry and the Taurus stopped and did not continue to evacuate south. This made the players who were hanging in their hearts breathe a sigh of relief. Because if these black armored cavalry evacuated directly or left Berkner Town to other places under Chen Kai's order, the morale blow to the players would be very huge.
Although Drake and his friends did not evacuate from Berkner Town, even if they moved to the castle in the south, it would be enough to make some players' hearts hang a shadow. However, the players did not understand why Chen Kai had to mobilize the most important combat power of Berkner Town to the castle in the south. Although the terrain there was even more towering, the area of the castle expanded by nearly one-third through Chen Kai and his friends' continuous maintenance. So, facing the direction of Berkner Town, a city wall of more than ten meters high was built.
When the residents in the city were transferring, the number of undead troops was also increasing. Looking at the endless army of undead, the players' mood gradually sinking on the city wall. The feeling of watching the enemy continue to increase is very scary. It seems like a rope around your neck. You know that the rope will die when tightened, but you can only watch him tighten step by step. This despair gradually approached made many people's hands and feet start to cool down. If it hadn't been signed, the task punishment would be very heavy. I guess these players could have been unable to bear the fear and turned around and ran away to make Chen Kai's deathly mission gold coins.
"The Battlefield of the Berkner Town Guards is on! Please pay attention to all players!" This is the system prompt that players received when the first undead appeared in the player's vision. More than an hour has passed since this system prompt appeared. The number of undead concentrated around the gem abyss has increased from the original hundreds to the point that is now innumerable. Looking at the gray and white undead in the distance, Chen Kai's heart is not afraid, which is fake. But even fear is useless, because the other party has bullied him at the door of his house. The most important thing is that even if Chen Kai raises his hand to surrender, he will not accept the captives.
So far, Chen Kai has never heard of players who will not be killed after surrendering to the undead, because the dead creatures in the eyes of the undead are not disgusted. Because of knowing this situation, no player thought of surrendering to the undead stupidly.
