Chapter 72 Discovering the Death Stone
Ethan changed Bereta's magazine neatly, then took out the spare short arrows and loaded them on his wrist guards one by one. His eyes kept patrolling left and right, trying to find the enemy who was hiding.
The firelight made by fireballs and flame arrows has gradually disappeared. Even the torches originally used were affected and destroyed in the battle. They can only use the glow sticks that Ethan scattered everywhere to illuminate.
"Light up the torch."
Although the torch was extinguished, it was not damaged. It can still be used again.
The glow stick can last a long time, but the lighting range is too small and the light is not bright enough.
Marta and Eliza were moving very quickly. After the torch was lit up, the surroundings of several people would be much brighter. The details that had been ignored in the dark before were also noticed by Ethan.
"Back!"
The few people immediately retreated and gathered together. Only Ethan stood a little further forward, inserted Bereta back into the holster, holding the hilt of the sword in both hands, and focused on guard.
Almost as everyone was re-setting their defensive postures, the corpses that were originally lying on the ground began to make strange noises, as if something had exploded, and one miserable white skeleton after another crawled out of the corpse.
"Skeleton Soldier?"
The zombie, who had been destroyed by the head, returned to its skeleton soldier, had its skull restored to its integrity. It held bone weapons that emitted pale light and more intense death energy in its hands. These weapons vary in types, and all swords, guns and bows can be seen.
"If these skeleton soldiers knew how to cooperate, they would probably be more troublesome than those zombies."
Ethan raised his hand and released a fireball. The wrist guard on his right hand can release the fireball five times. After using it, Ethan needs to provide additional energy to charge or wait for it to recover slowly.
I used it once before, this is the second shot.
The effect was still excellent. Several skeleton soldiers who had just stood up were directly blown into pieces, and some of the tiny fragments were burned to ashes by the bursting flames. Even if they wanted to fight again, they would not do it.
"The defense is not as good as the previous zombies."
Raising a sword to block the arrow that was fired, Ethan looked at the arrow on the ground, which was also bone-like arrow, but the hardness was amazing. He just now was not a flash of lightning, not a cut, but the arrow just flew to the side and was not cut off.
"That's the hardness!"
There was no time to continue to observe carefully, and several skeleton soldiers who were close to each other had already rushed up, and the bone sword in their hands slashed at Ethan from all angles.
"It really knows how to cooperate."
The most troublesome situation happened. Ethan discovered that since he entered this cave, it seemed that he didn't want something to happen, so it often happened. He didn't know whether his luck suddenly became worse or he awakened some strange attributes.
There were too many weapons to attack. Ethan used the ice shield in the wrist guard in his left hand to protect his left half of his body. He held the sword in his right hand and used a slash, smashing the two bone swords toward his direction. He also knocked a spear with a tricky angle, causing the killer move hidden among the many attacks to return in vain. He just slid over his light armor, causing a harsh sound.
Passively being beaten is not Ethan's style. After defending against this wave of offensive, he immediately made a counterattack. The ice arrows that had just been filled with their left hand were fired in succession. Five short arrows burst out together to produce a stronger cold air. After freezing several recent skeleton soldiers and blocking their actions, Ethan summoned the ice shield again. This time it was not for defense, but for attack.
The Ice Shield is an ice-face shield formed by the condensation of cold air, which can cause physical damage. However, this shield strike will have a greater impact on the Ice Shield and will destroy this Ice Shield, so no one has ever used it like this.
Ethan didn't care about this. The ice shield would burst out the frozen gas contained in it at the moment it was damaged, which was the effect of buying time for the user. This time Ethan was also used as a means of attack.
The ripples of frost with the cold wind flashed away, and several besieged skeleton soldiers were completely frozen into ice. Ethan used the side of the long sword to smack them all into pieces.
After two or two, Ethan solved the remaining skeleton soldiers one by one. Although the skeleton soldiers were much more powerful than those zombies, Ethan was easier to deal with, because he killed many skeleton soldiers in the dark world. These skeleton soldiers did not show any special features, but were better eliminated.
When Helena and his men wiped out the skeleton soldiers in front of him, Ethan began to sort out his equipment.
"You're very strong."
During this continuous battle, Helena consumed a lot of energy and physical strength. She stood there for a while before she slowly recovered.
Seeing Ethan's absence of any abnormality, a little envy arose in his heart.
"You are strong, too."
Ethan politely praised him. In fact, Helena's strength can only be considered good. In the eyes of most ordinary people, it may be considered a strong man, but in the eyes of Ethan, who is used to seeing a real strong man, it is nothing. But you can't chat like this. If you open your mouth and say that you are weak and will only offend people.
Helena was obviously self-aware and did not feel proud of Ethan's praise. Instead, she shook her head helplessly, turned her head to check her condition with her two subordinates.
In the fierce battle, no one can guarantee whether any wounds are left. If not discovered in time, it may cause irreversible consequences.
If it weren't for the difference between men and women, Ethan would even take the initiative to help with the inspection. Now let them do these things by themselves.
Ethan took out a flashlight from his backpack, then carefully inspected each corpse, feeling the dead energy lingering on it, and then completely knocked down several skeletons that seemed not to have been completely killed, and then returned to Helena and the others.
"I roughly looked at it. These should be the adventurers who had climbed onto this island before. They were eroded by the energy of this island and turned into the zombies of the previous ones. After being knocked down by us, the energy in their bodies did not dissipate, so they turned into skeletons and regained their movement power and launched an attack on us."
"Because in the eyes of these dead creatures, our living people are as conspicuous as fires in the dark. It is certain that if we continue to move forward, similar situations will happen... After all, we don't know how many adventurers have come here before this."
Originally, he thought that the enemy was the only one who landed on the island before, but when recalling the previous battle, compared with the number of corpses, it was obviously much higher than the number of people who landed on the island before.
Or there were more adventurers who had boarded the island before, and were also eroded by the island's rich death energy and turned into an undead creature.
Or it is the island itself that has the ability to create undead creatures.
No matter which one it is, the previous situation is full of dangers.
"What about your decision?"
"What?"
Unexpectedly, Helena suddenly got around herself, and Ethan was stunned for a moment.
"I'm going to keep moving forward."
What attracted his attention now is no longer the magic stone that is most likely to be the death attribute, but the spatial structure of this place is not in line with common sense. What he is looking for is the possible space energy magic stone, or a ball of space energy.
Helena shook her lips and nodded firmly when she heard Ethan's answer: "I will continue to move forward." After saying that, she also looked at Ethan. After seeing that he had experienced two consecutive battles without any scars and was still full of energy, she became more determined to her belief.
Ethan wanted to persuade him, but after seeing the other party's firm eyes, he swallowed what he wanted to say and just nodded to indicate that he knew.
Turning his head, Ethan used a flashlight to open the circuit. The conditions and danger ahead were beyond the previous expectations. He was not going to hide these good things anymore and take out all the useful things.
Helena and his men didn't ask him what that thing was, nor did he ask why he didn't take it out before. Who wouldn't keep some trump cards in this sea? Not to mention Ethan, they also had trump cards that were not used on them, and they wouldn't tell a stranger he had just met.
But when Ethan couldn't see it, Helena would touch her waist, and there was a very long wound there. Although it had been treated, blood still kept oozing out.
Just as he was about to reprocess it, Ethan in front suddenly stopped and handed over a few small bottles.
"Powder-like sprinkled on wounds can be disinfected, and paste-like sprayed on wounds can stop bleeding."
Helena was stunned for a moment, but Mata took it as soon as she saw this, and then directly helped Helena treat her wound.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, at least we are now comrades in the same camp."
Ethan shook his head. These were all small things. He did not want to gain favor with this. Instead, if he continued to bleed like this, it would be of no benefit to everyone.
After treatment again, Helena's wound finally stopped bleeding, and several people continued to move towards the depths of the cave.
After passing through the open area, they entered a slightly narrow passage.
This time they didn't walk in the passage for too long, and soon came to another open space. Moreover, there was a light source in this cave, although the pale light made people feel uncomfortable and was better than a dark one.
Ethan looked up and observed. The thing that emitted pale light floated in the center of this space. It was a stone about the size of a fist, and it was undoubtedly the magic stone in this world's specialty.
"This rich death energy... is indeed a death attribute magic stone!"
In addition, Ethan also noticed another wave of energy that he was more familiar with at the top of the cave.
"Spatial and time energy!"
