[It's so cold. The monthly votes are catching up really fast! There are still two days left. Brothers, help me hold on. This is the first time I want to fight for the monthly votes. I don't want to end in failure. Today, I said four chapters. I won't explode. I just want stability. For the writer of the year, those who still have votes, vote for Old D. Now you can vote on the page too. Qidian's technical department is really unpredictable.]
Yun Liuren's underwater armor was mainly light and well-sealed. Hundreds of parts flew out of the mechanical undead after being blown up by the level-eight spell. These parts melted into liquid metal and then solidified under the cooling of the lake, turning into sharp, lethal fragments that shot into the armor of the surrounding swordsmen.
The swordsmen whose limbs were injured were fine. They used their sword energy to temporarily stop the bleeding and desperately swam to the surface. Some metal fragments, however, shot into the swordsmen's lungs and hearts. Blood gushed out of the swordsmen's mouths and noses, and they directly collapsed to the bottom of the water. The lake water forcefully pressed in through the holes in their armor, and their breathing was cut off in a moment.
The mechanical undead's body was just newly grown, and its defense was too weak. If not for its special attributes and high enough level, it would have been blown to pieces.
"Go!" The Winged Skeleton urged from the mechanical undead's body. Now that the mechanical undead was his slave, it naturally did not dare to disobey his orders. Besides, he did not dare to underestimate the level-8 Magic Shooter. Humans always had all kinds of strange equipment. Now that they were surrounded, they had to escape first. If he wanted revenge, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
The powerful magic stored by the Magic Shooter did not kill the mechanical undead. He was also shocked, and it was too late to take out the scroll. He directly instant-cast Ice Strike, and six huge pieces of ice collided with the mechanical undead from all directions.
The mechanical undead's body suddenly doubled in size. Its six limbs kicked hard on the rock, and it sprang dozens of meters away. The Ice Strike only had time to freeze the mechanical undead's tail. The mechanical undead swung its tail, and a section automatically broke off. Where the metal tail broke off, gray liquid gushed out and spread in the lake.
The level-8 Magic Shooter was shocked and angry. This gray liquid was an extremely violent poison. He could not tell what it was for a moment, so he could only instant-cast Cleanse and Elemental Dispel in an attempt to purify the poison sprayed out by the mechanical undead.
Although undead poisons could be decomposed, they would linger for a long time if they weren't dealt with. The Distant Sea was the main source of water for Yun Liu's army. Over a million soldiers, as well as hundreds of thousands of warhorses and magical beasts, all relied on the Distant Sea for their daily water supply. If it was contaminated by this undead spirit, the entire camp would suffer for at least two or three days.
The newly built city could only accommodate 400,000 people. There was not enough water storage, and the camp had to draw water from the lake every day.
The 8th Rank High Mage had guessed correctly this time. The Mechanical Undead had devoured so many Undead lifeforms that the toxins extracted were enough to contaminate all the water sources within a hundred kilometers. The 8th Rank High Mage kept dispersing and purifying, but the ashen liquid still spread in the water.
At this time, the High Mage was no longer in the mood to chase the Undead. He unfolded a black scroll and released a level-8 Holy Light. This was a spell that was similar to Divine Arts. It did not have much attack power, but it was an essential type of equipment in the army.
The level-8 Purification Light burst out, and within a radius of more than two hundred meters, the ashen liquid was directly decomposed by the light elements and blended into the water, turning into a harmless substance.
Even so, there was still a lot of undead toxins that continued to spread. Generally, a low-level Undead could only contaminate an area of about three meters. The Mechanical Undead had devoured more than 5,000 Undead, and they were all relatively high-level goods. After the toxins accumulated in their bodies were purified by the Mechanical Undead, they would die upon contact.
The Mechanical Undead was such a reckless thing. As long as it could win, it wouldn't consider the problem of the vitality here being completely cut off if the toxins were too strong. In order to grow, it didn't even hesitate to destroy all the Undead within tens of thousands of kilometers. The life and death of the humans on the Myers Continent wasn't something it had to consider.
The Winged Skeleton was almost killed by the 9th Rank High Mage, and resentment had accumulated in its heart. This Mechanical Undead was so brutal, yet it praised, "Well done!"
The Mechanical Undead proudly swung its metal tail, and six holes with a diameter of half a meter opened behind its body. From the holes, the death aura of the Undead World spurted out, propelling its huge body to quickly glide through the water.
"Scoundrel, control the water flow! If you do this and the 9th Rank High Mage catches up, we will all die!" The Winged Skeleton cursed, and the Mechanical Undead stopped spurting death aura. Instead, it swallowed the lake water from its mouth and shot out behind it.
The 8th Rank High Mage hurriedly cast over a hundred Purification Spells to control the contamination of the undead toxins. By the time he completely purified the undead toxins, he was already surrounded by more than two hundred Flowing Cloud Swordsmen who had turned into Undead.
The 8th Rank High Mage's morale exploded. He couldn't ignore these Undead. If he didn't kill them, these Undead would keep attacking the creatures around them until they found the person who created them. Water elements frantically gathered on the surface of the lake, and a 6th Rank Spell with a range of more than two hundred meters was completed in half a minute. Snowflakes with a diameter of more than half a foot danced chaotically, and wherever it passed, the Undead's armor and torso would be cut in two.
Snow Kill, area of effect spell, 6th Rank Water Element! It was just that the High Mage used a combination spell. When dozens of Snow Kills were released together, the attack range reached two hundred meters, and the lethality became no different from that of a high-level spell.
After he finished killing the Undead, he had to purify the lake water. These Undead were created by the Mechanical Undead, and their toxins were abnormally strong. The Mechanical Undead used up all the refined toxins without holding back, effectively stopping the 8th Rank High Mage's pursuit.
By the time the High Mage was done, the Mechanical Undead had already escaped with the Winged Skeleton without a trace.
The 8th Rank High Mage looked at the corpses floating in the water and wanted to cry but had no tears. He had messed up the task that Master Gill had given him. If he had been monitoring underwater, how could there have been such a loophole? The Undead that escaped was too dangerous. The magic stored in his magic staff could seriously injure a 9th Rank Magic Beast. Even dragons could not be immune to such a powerful attack. But that Undead was only injured by the explosion, and it could still turn around and kill so many of his Swordsmen.
This Undead was definitely a fatal disaster!
Moreover, when the enemy attacked the port, they destroyed 14 troop ships. The cargo on the troop ships in the port was almost finished loading and unloading. The problem was that there were only 30 troop ships left in the Floating Sea Fleet. Almost half of them were destroyed, and the transportation of supplies in the future would be even more difficult.
The Floating Sea Fleet had to protect the remaining 16 troop ships thoroughly, or they would not be able to get supplies from the Floating Sea Empire.
The Mechanical Undead took the Winged Skeleton and escaped more than two hundred kilometers southwest, then west. Under the Winged Skeleton's guidance, he brought the Winged Skeleton into the reef area and returned to the White Bones Castle.
The appearance of the Mechanical Undead almost caused the stone cannons in the White Bones Castle to attack. The Winged Skeleton drilled out of the Mechanical Undead's body and suppressed the restlessness of the Undead on the castle. The Mechanical Undead did not care whether these things were enemies or not. If they were attacked, the heavily injured Mechanical Undead would start a massacre, killing thousands of low-level Undead in an instant.
The Winged Skeleton could not stop it in time!
The Winged Skeleton's appearance changed a lot. Fortunately, he was wearing a set of armor originally prepared for the Jade Skeleton. The Undead could still distinguish a trace of his aura, so there was no conflict.
After the Winged Skeleton entered the castle, he immediately kept the Mechanical Undead back into the Undead Space. He returned to the Magic Tower and gathered the people in the castle. He only said that he was injured and needed to rest for a period of time. Through Mu En's mouth, the Winged Skeleton passed the authority of command to Su.
Although Su was young, he had fought dozens of battles with Rex, and the scale of the battles was more than 10,000 people. He was very familiar with the command of the army and the mobilization of the battlefield.
After the Winged Skeleton finished giving instructions, he began to familiarize himself with his new body in the Magic Tower. The body of this Golden Undead was very strong. The Winged Skeleton needed at least half a year to completely control it. Fortunately, this did not reduce his combat power at all. When he completely controlled this new body, he would be an existence equivalent to the Undead King.
Over at Great Liang City, they received news that the Winged Skeleton took the initiative to attack and sank another 14 of the enemy's troop ships. Rex released the news and did not mention the fact that the attacker was almost killed. The city was once again in a festive atmosphere.
However, Salin and Rex were not very happy. After all, their wedding was imminent. The logistics ship of the Yun Liu people had been destroyed. There could be two outcomes. First, the Yun Liu people would give up the attack and retreat. Second, the Yun Liu people would try their best to take down Great Liang City in one go.
What was worse was that the second possibility was almost the only outcome.
From a strategic point of view, destroying the Yun Liu people's troop ships was the right thing to do. However, this would cause the Yun Liu people to attack recklessly when the two of them were getting married.
Anyway, the logistics couldn't keep up. Taking down Great Liang City was the only way out for the Yun Liu people.
What worried Salin and Rex the most was that the Winged Skeleton sent a letter, describing how powerful the Yun Liu people's Magic Shooter was. Salin knew that the Winged Skeleton never lied. His description had always been the most accurate and objective. There might even be a magic booster on that Magic Shooter.
There were already three Level-Eight Magic Shooters in the city and a Level-Nine Fallen Divine Caster. Even so, Salin still had no confidence against a Level-Nine Magic Shooter with a magic booster.
"Lace, advance," Salin said to Rex helplessly. Salin said to Rex helplessly, "We already have five Magic Towers. If we add another seven-story one, we will be able to form a complete defense circle."
Rex looked at Salin and said, "I want to wait for you."
Salin smiled bitterly. "It's a little difficult for me to advance. I'll help you build a seven-story Magic Tower. You have to advance before the wedding. I'll let Eleanor live in it first. She's a little weak, but she has special skills. She can barely defend against the enemy's attack. Without a complete defense of the Magic Tower, that Magic Shooter can fly in and kill at will. "
What Salin said wouldn't happen under normal circumstances. However, that Level-Nine Magic Shooter had a magic booster and dared to fight near the Magic Towers. Great Liang City really didn't have a good way to defend against him. They could only build all six Magic Towers to form a real no-fly zone.
If that Magic Shooter disregarded his status and killed ordinary people, it would be too late by the time the Alchemy City's law enforcement team arrived.
