Chapter 924: The first battle between the late monk and the ghost
He is also clear about the idea of rushing forward to attack the monks. After all, the Ghost Corpse City is a brand new thing in the entire world of cultivation. The first one to rush into it is also the most likely to get some unique treasures. Maybe for the later monks
The improvement of cultivation level and even the impact of becoming a god have a certain effect.
However, there is a certain probability of the existence of this kind of treasure, and the inevitable counterattack from the ghost corpses. If you accidentally fall into it, it is likely to cause some casualties.
Even if there is a treasure in the Ghost Corpse City, it may not be easy to obtain it, and the following monks will not have no chance of fighting for it.
Taking the chance of being besieged by ghosts and corpses just to gain an advantage was obviously a loss more than gain in Zhao Shoushou's mind.
Of course, this monk may also have absolute confidence in his own fighting power. Even if he is surrounded by ghost corpses, he is still sure to ensure his life safety.
In addition, the entry of more than a hundred late-stage monks was extremely fast, and the siege he endured may only last for a moment.
This matter is actually a matter of benevolence and wisdom. Perhaps for this monk, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he can pay for it.
"Kill" was said late and then quickly, and everything happened within three or five breaths. The first late-stage monk shouted loudly and waved a majestic fourth-level high-grade spiritual treasure in the shape of a broadsword in his hand.
He rushed into the Ghost Corpse City bravely, and immediately set off a bloody storm.
The battle was quite fierce from the beginning, especially after the walls of the Ghost Corpse City suffered losses. Rows of high-level ghost corpses were ready to attack, waiting for the monks' counterattack to be more serious than expected.
The late-stage monk Fang Yi appeared and was already surrounded by more than a dozen fourth-order and high-grade ghost corpses. There were also more fourth-order low-grade ghost corpses on the periphery to attack from a distance. In short, the battle reached a climax from the beginning.
stage.
The ghosts and corpses fought back fiercely, and the monks were naturally not to be outdone. As more than a hundred monks entered one after another, they quickly found suitable opponents and began to fight against each other.
"The power of ghost corpses is even stronger than we expected. Ninety-five late-stage monks still need to face the siege of one or more fourth-level high-grade ghost corpses, and there are even more fourth-level monks.
The attack of the middle and lower grade ghost corpses, thanks to Zhao's caution, he is the last batch of monks to enter the ghost corpse city, otherwise the current situation may be even more serious." Facing a fourth-order high-grade ghost corpse,
Zhao Shoushou couldn't help but feel a little lucky for the attack of two mid-level ghost corpses and two fourth-level low-level ghost corpses.
With Zhao Shoushou's full strength, he could only barely maintain it, and because the situation was unfamiliar, he had been reluctantly supporting it.
When you arrive in a new place, face a new enemy, and do not have a sufficient understanding of the enemy's methods, it is obviously not a good strategy to rush to use all means.
Among the four ghost corpses, the one that poses the greatest threat to him is naturally the fourth-order high-grade ones. The fourth-order mid-grade ghosts can only pose a certain threat under rare circumstances. As for the two fourth-order low-grade ghost corpses, they are very different in strength.
, it is destined to only carry out a certain degree of harassment on the periphery.
Only after having a fierce battle with ghosts and corpses in person can we have a preliminary understanding of their difficulty. These special beings with the dual characteristics of ghosts and corpses are almost individuals between illusion and reality.
.
Whenever Zhao Shoushou used a fourth-grade high-grade Zen wooden staff to launch a strong attack and prepare to seriously injure one of them, they would always display the corpse's defense and the ghost's illusion vividly at the last moment.
It is this uncontrollable characteristic that caused Zhao Shoushou and other monks to fall into an inexplicable dilemma for a while, making it difficult to open the situation.
Only some monks who are truly at their peak in the later stages use their obviously superior strength to forcibly kill some fourth-level low-grade ghost corpses.
In short, from the beginning of the battle to the present, the spoils obtained by the monks are extremely limited. Of course, relying on the strength of the later stage, there has not been too obvious loss.
However, as time goes by, different differences gradually emerge in different battle situations. Some powerful monks have the upper hand. Of course, there are also some monks who inevitably fall behind due to their personal strength.
In a battle of this level, there is no way there will be no losses. It is inevitable that the monks will think that they are fully prepared.
"These ghost corpses are indeed extremely difficult to deal with. Zhao Zhao tried several times but with no results." A quarter of an hour later, a shallow scar was left on his shoulder, but he still encountered a fourth-level high-grade ghost corpse that surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao at the critical moment, so he was lucky.
A fourth-level low-grade ghost corpse that escaped the disaster couldn't help but become furious.
Although the battle this time seemed to be evenly matched and he was not at a disadvantage in the fight, it was an unprecedented and humiliating feeling for Zhao Shoushou.
With the four ghost corpses using their own advantages to unite with each other, Zhao Shoushou used fierce methods several times but failed to achieve corresponding results, and left many injuries on his body.
As the main force, the fourth-level high-grade ghost corpse used its own strong defense to resist frontally, and a powerful Zen wooden staff was repeatedly blocked.
Fourth-level mid-level ghost corpses would appear around him from time to time through their elusive movement skills. Even though Zhao Shoushou's caution did not leave much of an impact, some minor injuries were always inevitable, even for two fourth-level low-level corpses.
The ghost corpses all left a wound on his arm.
Fortunately, Zhao Shoushou had taken and refined a fourth-level high-quality detoxifying elixir from the Holy Mountain before entering the Ghost Corpse City, which had a certain effect on the invasion of some corpse poisons.
As time passed, the one-on-four battle situation that Zhao Shoushou was in gradually formed a confrontation, and the winner was not decided between the two sides for a while.
Of course, this is also because Zhao Shoushou himself did not take action with all his strength, and the series of measures he used were all conventional coping methods.
After all, according to his speculation, in addition to the existing strength, there must be some powerful beings responsible for suppression deep in the Ghost Corpse City.
Since judging from the current situation, there are no treasures that are too precious in the Ghost Corpse City, why should Zhao Shoushou behave too brightly and attract some possible revenge?
These are just two completely different coping strategies. There is no real right or wrong between them. However, the premise is to ensure that your own safety will not be threatened. In addition, the combat effectiveness must be maintained at least 80% to avoid a real situation.
When it is necessary to break out, the strength is insufficient due to various reasons. This is the most tragic thing for a monk.
In short, the monks did not open up the situation in the Ghost Corpse City as devastatingly as expected. The difficulty here was obviously higher than expected.
