Chapter 529: Stick to Defense (4)

The sudden vibrations and shaking were unsettling, and a large amount of dust falling rustlingly from the ceiling only aggravated the uneasiness.

But it didn't appear to be an earthquake, because the shaking lasted only a moment and then fell silent.

Before everyone could think about what was going on, a round thing rolled down from the entrance steps of the underground research institute.

It is about two meters in diameter and is completely dark red. At first glance, it looks like a dark red mass. It rolled down the stairs and hit the floor with a thud.

But if you take a closer look at this time, you will see that its main body is dark red flesh and blood, and in some parts you can even see crushed bones or twisted and shrunken blood vessels and fascia.

This big meaty dumpling stretched out immediately after it landed on the ground, as if something was ready to break out of the cocoon. The original regular spherical shape no longer existed. When it moved forward, it looked more like an amoeba-shaped, soft ball.

.

Anna almost immediately tugged at the corner of Pei Renli's clothes:

"What it is!"

"I don't know either, I've never seen it!"

He turned to look at Eve, who also shook her head and stared at the squirming mass of flesh with a disgusted expression.

"Anyway, this may be some kind of modified undead creature."

Pei Renli raised his staff and loudly reminded everyone:

"Don't let it get close!"

Undead creatures have a lot of room for transformation. Some necromancers will add 'Purple Flame of the Dead', 'Adamantine Bones', etc. to skeletons, which can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of skeletons.

This is just a very basic operation. More advanced gameplay can even make undead creatures look exactly like real people. Even using magic detection, no clues can be found.

Precisely because of the plasticity of undead creatures, even naturally born undead creatures still have the possibility of mutation, let alone such artificially modified things, who knows what they are capable of.

After hearing Pei Renli's words, everyone activated their weapons on the squirming mass of flesh.

The long-range fire team led by Anna from behind fired a row of arrows. Anyone with the ability to cast spells threw all kinds of spells at them. Along with the banging gunfire, physical to magical attacks overwhelmed the meat ball in an instant.

Already.

Perrenli fired out three scorching rays, and Eve threw a shattering sound wave. Moen didn't just play the piano and paddle, but cursed at the meat ball...

--This is really the bard's attack.

However, when the arrow landed on the ball of meat, you could clearly see that the arrow was swallowed up by the ball of meat in an instant. Under the shining of various magical auras, the ball of meat fluctuated slightly like a pond blown by the breeze, but it did not cause any damage to it.

substantial harm.

Physical absorption and spell absorption?

Or is it a physical ineffective enchantment and a spell ineffective enchantment?

"Intensify!"

No matter what it is, there is an upper limit. There is no invincible defense in this world.

Strikes are always effective when saturated.

Maybe it was because this thing was too weird, except for the soldiers in the front row, everyone threw away the attack one after another.

As expected, after activating it three times, Pei Renli could clearly see that the surface of the meat ball had become pitted, exceeding the upper limit of damage absorption.

But this meatball is more than just a target.

Even though it withstood everyone's long-range attacks, it still squirmed forward firmly. When it rolled over the 'speed bumps' created by spells such as entanglement, grease, and spider webs on the ground, the spell effects immediately disappeared without a trace.

In other words, it is more like it was swallowed up, leaving a neat passage for safe walking.

And when it approached the undead creatures that were squeezing towards the front row of soldiers, the meat ball would not move at all, but instead swallowed up the zombies and skeletons that were supposed to be its own.

With the unpleasant noise of crushing bones and tearing muscles, the mass of flesh grew larger, and the wounds caused by the concentrated fire healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It has the ability to absorb physical or magical attacks. The damage it finally dealt was healed by devouring undead creatures. Although it moved slowly, it was still approaching the warriors in the front row.

If we continue to retreat now, we have to retreat to the entrance of the second floor. But in this case, if the back row leaves the front row, there will be no fire support, and those at the front will inevitably suffer casualties.

Increase the firepower output, or find a way to trap it in place with control spells?

Before Pei Renli could figure out the result, a low roar broke into his ears.

I felt a buzzing in my head, a strong buzzing in my head, and a splitting headache.

Pei Renli pressed his temples and turned his head to look, and found that something seemed to have exploded over the noble guard. The nearby guards were knocked back, and there was a layer of foul-smelling flesh and blood on the walls and floor.

Corruption cyst explosions don’t have this power, right?

Besides, the people who had just exploded the putrid cysts on their bodies have now been moved to the rear as wounded. Even if someone is infected by the mucus of the putrid cyst, it will take time for this thing to grow to the point where it can explode, and it cannot be so fast.

Just as I was wondering what had exploded, I saw through Thousand Eyes' vision that there was a zombie with a different back, crowded among the undead.

Its back is bulging high, and its body seems to be inflated, giving its skin a translucent texture.

This zombie looks no different from ordinary zombies from the front. It also pounces towards the soldiers at the front who are acting as human shields, and then...

——Buzz!

In an instant, the zombie exploded from the inside, and the trembling sound waves among the blood and flesh spattered quickly swept through everyone on this floor. The strong stinging pain not only acted on the eardrums, but more like penetrated the skull and hit the brain directly.

They didn't realize that this thing was different from other zombies. Vondar and Gary who were at the front were knocked down by the shock and were almost dragged away by the undead. Fortunately, Lydia and Michelle next to them didn't faint and hurriedly

Drag the person back.

After all, even if you train your muscles, bones and skin, you can't make your brain invulnerable. This should be a special sonic attack similar to a shock bomb.

The unknown meat ball is approaching, and there is also a self-destructing zombie that hides among ordinary zombies, making the situation worse.

Perenli quickly turned around and asked Anna to pay attention to the zombies that would self-destruct, but the strong tinnitus not only made it difficult for Perenli to hear, Anna also couldn't hear clearly.

Fortunately, Anna has a high level of understanding. When she saw Perenli pointing at the location of the explosion and Yu pointed at her back, she immediately understood what he meant. The arrows fired from the gear bow obviously began to transfer from the meat balls to those who would

On a self-exploding zombie.

The keen vision inherited from the tree elves allows Anna to spot targets among a horde of undead creatures that resemble zombies, and the positive energy arrows she shoots can almost penetrate them in one shot.

The exact mechanism behind this self-exploding zombie is unclear, but it feels like an inflated balloon. It did not explode after being shot through by a positive energy arrow, but instead breathed out. Even if it was not purified by positive energy at this time,

It is no different from ordinary zombies.

Other archers behind them also discovered the zombies that could self-destruct. For a while, the targets of their bows and arrows began to shift towards shooting at them, but in this way, the output of the squirming flesh ball was greatly reduced.

Seeing that thing getting closer and closer to the soldiers' defense line, Pei Renli gritted his teeth and decided to reveal his trump card.

"Get out of the way!"

Due to the effect of the sound bomb, the people in front didn't hear what Pei Renli was saying at all. It wasn't until he repeated it three or four times that he finally heard it clearly. Everyone hurriedly moved aside, as if there was a dog chasing behind them.

It's obvious, and everyone knows that the master behind this must be ready to open up.

"Hellfire Ray!"

The largest magic eye on the Thousand-Eyed Wizard Hat shoots out a dark red ray as thick as a telephone pole, and the scorching heat immediately causes the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly.

The thick ray flew close to the ground, leaving an eye-catching burn mark on the floor in an instant.

The first thing to hit was the human wall composed of skeletons and zombies. The hellfire rays penetrated it like it penetrated the air. Even the undead creatures that were just close to the hellfire rays spontaneously combusted due to the high temperature.

Then the hellfire ray hit the approaching meat ball.

The bright and intense flash made it difficult to see what was going on. The hellfire ray did encounter some obstacles when it hit the meat ball. It should be the effect of the opponent's spell absorption.

But less than a second later, the hellfire ray penetrated it.

When the flash faded, it could be seen that a completely cleared gap was left in the emission line of the hellfire ray, which directly penetrated the undead groups that poured into the underground research institute.

As for the meat ball, a big hole was opened in the middle, and an unpleasant smell of burnt meat and barbecue immediately filled the air.

But the meat ball didn't seem to die suddenly on the spot. It squirmed and tried to catch the undead creatures near it. However, the undead creatures around it spontaneously ignited due to the hellfire rays, so it could not be effectively recovered for the time being.

Even the extremely powerful hellfire rays couldn't take it away in one shot. This thing is not that easy to solve.

However, Pei Renli had anticipated this situation. After all, the fire and meat balls just caused only minor injuries, which shows that his health bar is thick.

So what should we do?

"Go! Attack with 100,000 horsepower!"

No one around them understood what Pei Renli meant. What the hell is 100,000 horsepower?

But the obsidian golem that had been placed in the corner, squatting there in standby mode, immediately activated, its face lit up with a V-shaped red light, and its alchemy core made a subtle and sharp sound, dragging the three-meter-high behemoth to move.

Air flow erupted from the soles of its feet, moving like an air cushion as it galloped through the passage created by the hellfire rays, and hit the meat ball squarely with its punch.

Pei Renli's worry is not unreasonable. Sure enough, we can't let this meat ball get close, because when the Obsidian Golem's punch hits it, it is like hitting a piece of plasticine. Not only does it not cause much damage, but it makes the meat ball get entangled.

The Obsidian Golem looks like it is trying to digest it as well.

But the Obsidian Golem is the leader in the Golem family. The cost of this thing is much more expensive than the perfect magic item, so it is naturally worth the money.

Opening its big hand, the Obsidian Golem grabbed the meat ball. It seemed to be very elastic and juicy, and it made a soft squeaking sound when it grabbed it.
