The gap between Nephalem and an ordinary person was immediately apparent. The living dead that Rumford needed several strikes to injure didn't even survive a single round of attacks from the Sacred Army girl's meteor hammer. Fangzheng watched as the Sacred Army girl swung her meteor hammer forward, and the living dead were smashed away like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. It couldn't have been any easier!
If this were in the past, Fangzheng would only curl his lips and not take it to heart when he saw the same scene as in the game. But after experiencing for himself how difficult it was to deal with the living dead, Fangzheng finally had a direct understanding of Nephalem's existence.
Even when Fangzheng defeated the living dead, he relied entirely on the power of the Holy Light of the Crusaders. However, Nephalem was completely relying on his own strength. With a single swing of his hammer, those unlucky Living Dead would die without a trace, while the lucky ones would be able to let go of their freedom. Fangzheng clicked his tongue in wonder. He finally had a direct understanding of Nephalem's power.
Wait a minute … What am I doing here? I still have a mission to complete!
When the Sacred Army girl in front of him swept away the living dead again, Fangzheng was taken aback. Only then did he remember that he wasn't here to watch a show!
Frostmourne was still hungry!
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng did not hesitate. He gripped his weapon tightly and charged forward.
Compared to the "teaching stage" in the game, Fangzheng and the others encountered more living dead. In addition to the first wave of living dead that crawled out of the ground, several more waves of living dead attacked them one after another. There were more and more of them, to the point where Fangzheng and the Crusader couldn't hold them off even after working together. The civilian soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Apart from Captain Rumford, who was still trying his best to hold on, the other civilian soldiers were either dead or injured. It seemed like they wouldn't be able to live much longer.
This wasn't right!
After killing another undead, Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief. He raised his head and looked around. Apart from the flames at the entrance of Tristram, everything else was shrouded in darkness. He could only hear the low roars of the living dead and the occasional flashes of light.
"Haa … Haa … Damn it … Isn't this a little too much?"
Holding Frostmourne in his hand and staring at the undead walking out of the darkness, Fangzheng could not help but gasp for breath. He couldn't even remember how many living dead he had killed. He only remembered that when he cut down one, another two would pop up next to him. After cutting down two, four more appeared. There seemed to be an endless stream of them, as if there was no end to them.
Is this the real World of Darkness …?
It was only at this moment that Fangzheng felt a trace of fear. When he was playing the game, the only feeling he had was that he was going to die of annoyance. The most he could think of was why the humans in the Dark World were so miserable. But now, Fangzheng finally understood that the game was different from reality.
There was a reason why humans in the World of Darkness were forced to the point of extinction.
"Haa —!"
Looking at the undead pouncing at him, Fangzheng clenched Frostmourne and slashed forward with a roar. With a flash of holy light, the undead was split into two at the waist and fell to the ground. But to Fangzheng's surprise, the moment the undead fell to the ground, its upper body suddenly jumped, and its two hands quickly crawled on the ground to grab him!
"F * ck!!"
Upon seeing this sudden scene, Fangzheng was also given a fright. Almost instinctively, he raised Frostmourne and stabbed down. The sharp blade pierced through the undead's body with a whoosh. Then wisps of soul mist emerged from the undead's body and were absorbed into Frostmourne. Then, the undead's trembling body stopped moving as if it had lost its energy supply.
"235 …"
Glancing at the soul power value in the system prompt, Fangzheng took a deep breath. Although this kind of grinding was not what he wanted, it seemed that Frostmourne's soul-absorbing mission was now possible. The Dark World might be lacking in other things, but it was not lacking monsters. And Fangzheng believed that Frostmourne must like these evil souls very much.
"Ugh —!!"
At the same time, a strange sound suddenly came from the dense forest in the distance. It sounded like the cry of a woman, or the sound of a drunkard vomiting. Upon hearing this voice, Rumford and the Sacred Legion Young Lady's expression changed instantly.
Zombie Mother!
"I was wondering why these damned things can't be killed no matter how hard I try!"
At that moment, Fangzheng came to a realization. The Corpse Mother was a monster transformed from the queen's maidservant. The greatest characteristic of such a monster was that she could create more living dead. Fangzheng didn't know the principle behind this, but he knew that the process of the Zombie Mother creating the undead was to vomit. Then, the undead would crawl out of the puddle … Ugh, just thinking about it made his stomach churn.
"We must kill the Zombie Mother!"
"I know!"
Hearing Captain Rumford's voice, Fangzheng responded without turning his head. Then, he gripped Frostmourne tightly and rushed into the dense forest.
The reason why Fangzheng worked so hard was not just to get rid of the threat, but because the moment Rumford spoke, Fangzheng also received a system prompt.
[Scenario mission triggered: Guardian II]
[You have detected the source of evil and found its traces. What you need to do next is to use the sharp blade in your hand to end everything. (Eliminate the Zombie Mother, Dimension Point + 1)]
But even though Fangzheng was fast, the Crusader wasn't slow either. The moment Fangzheng stepped into the dense forest, he saw the Crusader flash with a golden light. Then, Fangzheng watched in surprise as the Crusader charged into the depths of the forest like a cannonball.
Boom — —!!
The shining Crusader streaked across the darkness like a meteor. Everything along the way was crushed by the powerful impact. Then, Fangzheng saw a figure appear in front of the Crusader. The Crusader raised his shield without hesitation and smashed it into the Crusader's face.
Thud!!
The unlucky Zombie Mother was sent flying, but the Crusader didn't follow up with another attack. Because at this moment, several undead swayed in front of her and blocked the Crusader's path.
Good chance!
Seeing that the Crusader was stopped, Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief. If the Crusader's Star Hammer crushed the Zombie Mother's head, then he would naturally fail this scenario mission. But now that the Crusader was stopped, even though it was only for a short period of time, it was more than enough for Fangzheng!
Well done!
While secretly praising the Corpse Mother in his heart, Fangzheng held Frostmourne and ran deeper into the forest along the path that the Sacred Army had opened up. Shortly after, he saw the unlucky Zombie Mother. At this moment, she was crawling on the ground and it seemed like she couldn't even stand up.
Good chance!
Looking at this scene, Fangzheng's eyes lit up. He glanced to the side. At this moment, the Crusader was entangled by the undead and couldn't free himself for the time being. As long as he could make it in time, Fangzheng would be sure to take this Zombie Mother's head!
At this thought, Fangzheng dashed over without hesitation. He didn't have the powerful charge skill of the Crusader, but fortunately, the Zombie Mother was sent flying into an empty space in the forest. Therefore, Fangzheng didn't spend too much time dashing out of the bushes. Then, he raised Frostmourne and swung it at the Zombie Mother!
Crusader Strike!
And at the instant Fangzheng swung his sword down, he saw the Zombie Mother, who was sprawled on the ground, suddenly raise her head. She looked at Fangzheng and opened her mouth. Following that, with an "Ugh" sound, Fangzheng saw a huge pile of filth mixed with a foul stench assaulting him!
What the heck!
Looking at this scene, Fangzheng was taken aback. He canceled the skill without hesitation and rolled to the side. Along with a soft thud, the pile of filth hit the ground not far from Fangzheng. With the help of the weak light, Fangzheng could even see the dark green, constantly expanding air bubbles. Even the surrounding ground began to emit white smoke and sink down slowly. It was imaginable that if one was hit by this thing, one would definitely suffer.
Trying to trick me?
At this moment, Fangzheng was also bursting with anger. You're a Zombie Mother that was beaten half to death by the Sacred Army, and you still dare to plot against me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?
He picked up Frostmourne and gazed at the Zombie Mother before him. The Zombie Mother glared at him fiercely. Upon seeing Fangzheng's gaze, she opened her mouth and was about to scream.
"— — —!"
But this time, before she screamed, Fangzheng stabbed his sword into her mouth.
Crusader Strike!
Holy light instantly erupted. In Fangzheng's eyes, he saw the Zombie Mother's skull start to crack. Cracks appeared on the Zombie Mother's skin, following which, a dazzling holy radiance shot out from the cracks, becoming increasingly bright. Along with a loud bang, the Zombie Mother's body exploded and turned into ashes in the white, holy flames.
At the same time, Fangzheng heard the system prompt again. Then, lines of information appeared before Fangzheng's eyes.
[Scenario mission "Guardian" Progress 2 completed]
[User received Dimension Point + 1]
[Received 70 Spiritual Powers]
[Crusader Strike skill proficiency increased to C rank]
[Crusader Strike upgraded to AoE skill]
"As expected …"
Seeing this line of information, Fangzheng rolled his eyes. Then, he opened his skill panel again. As expected, one-fifth of the progress bar under the skill [Crusader Strike] had turned orange-red. At that moment, Fangzheng was rendered speechless. He had previously done it in the System. As one's proficiency increased, the skill itself would gradually become stronger. This was naturally to attract noobs and bosses to spend money. After all, Dimension Points were either saved or spent money. Although the proficiency of a skill increased, the power of the skill would also increase. But for ordinary people, Dimension Points were definitely not enough. For the bosses who spent money … the only problem left was to buy and buy.
This was the usual shamelessness of mobile games. But Fangzheng did not expect to become a victim. Was it really true that he would run into a ghost when he walked too far?
Fortunately, the mission this time was relatively simple. He only had to kill a Zombie Mother, and he received a Dimension Point. If the missions in the future were this simple, then it would be even more ….
"Ding!"
But before Fangzheng could finish sighing, he heard the system prompt again. Then, another line of information appeared in front of Fangzheng.
[Scenario mission triggered: Guardian 3]
[Looking at the corpse in front of you, you deeply feel that the darkness in front of you is not as easy as you think. You feel the irreversible wheel of fate rolling towards you. All you can do is do your best to change everything. (Change the established fate. Complete the mission and you will receive a random reward. Dimension Points + 3. Failing the mission will force you to lock the mission world. Countdown: 48: 00)]
"… … …"
Seeing this mission prompt, Fangzheng was completely speechless. There was only one sentence in his mind.
