Finally sending these plague gods away, Ma Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Qingyang and said: "Back in Mayi Town, I thought you were bragging, but I didn't expect your defense to be so powerful.
I'm afraid you have already practiced the art to a high level, right?"
Qingyang said modestly: "It's just that I have worked harder for a few more years than others."
Ma Xingchen did not dwell too much on this issue and changed the subject: "Speaking of your defense, I have an unkind request. I wonder if you can agree to it."
Qingyang said: "I'm just your guard, why do I need to be so polite? Just say so."
Ma Xingchen said: "Originally, I brought Old Man Zhi here with the intention of attracting zombies with his special skills, and then the others would besiege him together. Now that I have seen your defense, it seems to be stronger than zombies. I am going to
How about I leave this task of attracting zombies to you?"
Qingyang is very clear about his situation. It is difficult for ordinary zombies to break through his defenses. Even if a zombie occasionally hurts him, the toxins of such low-level zombies cannot cause much damage. He will spend more effort to force them out after returning.
Well, there is nothing wrong with taking on this mission. The only problem is not to act too outrageous, otherwise it will scare these companions.
"No problem." Qingyang said happily.
Seeing Qingyang so cheerful, Ma Xingchen felt a little embarrassed and said: "I know this task is more dangerous, but I won't let you work in vain. After these three days, you won't need to borrow the seven spiritual stones from me.
If you return it, I will also give you this middle-grade magical sword."
Ma Xingchen is no better than the candidates in Tongcoff County, so he brought more than thirty spiritual stones in total this time. This is already his father's income in Mayi Town for more than half a year.
, Ma Xingchen visited relatives and friends to prepare for the pre-selection of the Holy Son, and the spiritual stones on his body had already been spent. A middle-grade sword requires two spiritual stones, plus the seven that Qingyang borrowed before, the total is nine.
That's a lot of money. Using nine pieces of spiritual stone to buy Qingyang and working hard for three days is considered very generous.
Qingyang didn't care too much and directly agreed to the request. After all, the two of them were in a master-servant relationship. Ma Xingchen was a good person, and the snow cream incident last time was all thanks to him.
After the discussion, Ma Xingchen continued to walk deeper into the valley with the four guards. Qingyang and his group were originally weak in strength, and they had been delayed a lot of time just now because of the Kuwa Yuan matter. They must seize the time, otherwise
There is absolutely no chance for the Holy Son preliminaries this time.
This valley is huge, and hundreds of people scattered in it are not conspicuous at all. Ever since Na Sangyuan led the people away, they rarely encounter other monks. Sometimes when monks meet occasionally, both parties will quickly avoid their own hidden places.
Go, because the pre-selection of the Holy Son is too important, and no one wants to delay the business due to some disputes.
There are many cemeteries in the valley, and you will encounter a large one almost every few miles. However, it is too troublesome to find zombies. Often, you will not encounter one for most of the day. Occasionally, you will encounter one, which is also a newly formed armored zombie with no strength.
, it is easily solved.
After killing this kind of low-level zombie, only a small black spot will be formed on the Yin Diagnostic Talisman, which is faintly invisible. It is definitely impossible to complete the Holy Son pre-selection task by relying on this alone.
It wasn't until the first night that the situation improved. Perhaps the zombies needed to go out for activities at night, or perhaps too many people entered the valley and too many strangers alerted the hidden high-level zombies. That night they also encountered a
Bronze-armored zombies and a powerful iron-armored zombie.
It would be easier to deal with just a bronze-armored zombie. According to the previous arrangement, Qingyang was responsible for attracting the attention of the zombies, Ma Xingchen and the two old guards were the main attackers, and Old Man Zhi was assisting. It was not difficult to deal with the zombies, but once they came
Two of them would be more troublesome to deal with.
In the end, we could only let Qingyang take action. He first tried to find a way to hold down the iron-armored zombie, and then the other four people besieged the bronze-armored zombie. Anyway, Qingyang's defense was strong enough. Even if he was temporarily unable to do anything about the iron-armored zombie, he could still hold on for a long time.
time, others can be freed up.
So Qingyang and the armored zombie stood up together. This zombie was much more powerful than the one Taoist Mao encountered at the beginning. Many parts of his body were blue and he was already on the verge of advanced. Qingyang's defense was amazing, and the zombies were not.
Oops, Qingyang has a medium-grade magical sword in his hand, and the zombie has a pair of sharp claws and fangs. The method that could kill the perfect guards in the Kai Pulse Realm before has less effect on the armored zombies with the same cultivation level. You and I will fight each other on both sides.
, actually no one can do anything to anyone.
On the other side, the situation was not much better. Four people were unable to win against a zombie. This was partly because the zombie was too difficult to deal with. This bronze-armored zombie was as strong as a monk on the third level of foundation building and had strong defense.
It's outrageous. Except for Ma Xingchen's top-quality magic weapon, which can make the zombie a little scared, the remaining three people can hardly hurt the zombie at all.
On the other hand, it is also because Qingyang was dragged down by another zombie, and the remaining four people cannot take Qingyang's place. In order to avoid damage, you must be careful when fighting. The four people are timid when taking action.
, how can there be a chance of winning?
This battle lasted for most of the night, and it was almost dawn. All four of them were exhausted, and the real energy in their bodies had been exhausted. The two old guards suffered serious injuries in order to protect Ma Xingchen.
It's like killing the bronze-armored zombie together.
No one could take a breath, and the four of them plunged into another battle, because there was Qingyang and the armored zombie waiting for them, and they had to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Fortunately, after fighting for most of the night, the armored zombie's physical strength was almost exhausted, and he also felt timid and prepared to escape. After the four people joined the battle, they immediately had an overwhelming advantage, and it only took less than two quarters of an hour.
In no time, Ma Xingchen killed the armored zombie.
The battle lasted most of the night. Two of the five people were seriously injured, and the remaining three were also injured. After a lot of effort, I finally killed both zombies. Let's see for ourselves.
A green dot and a black dot had just appeared on the talisman. A satisfied smile appeared on Ma Xingchen's face. If he could achieve this result every day, he might really get a good ranking in the Holy Son preliminaries this time.
But he also knew that this seemed unlikely. Let alone whether he could encounter so many zombies every day. Even if he could encounter them, they might not be able to kill them all based on their strength. After a night of fighting, everyone was exhausted.
Two of them were seriously injured and lost most of their combat effectiveness. They would definitely not be able to recover within half a day.
