Bai Xiaowen had seen these Drowned Zombies when he was at the Dead Soul Lake. To be safe, he used his Insight skill.
[Drowned Zombie (Level 10)]
[Race: Ghoul/Zombie Demon]
[Attributes: Strength 40, Agility 25, Constitution 36, Spirit 10]
[Skill 1: Ominous Aura (Passive). The Drowned Zombie's breath brings misfortune. Enemies within melee range will be stacked with Ominous Aura as the battle drags on. Each stack of Ominous Aura will cause all attributes to drop by 1 point temporarily. Maximum of 10 stacks of Ominous Aura will disappear after 10 seconds.]
[Skill 2: Slow (Passive). All damage taken by the Drowned Zombie is reduced by 25%. The Drowned Zombie's basic attack speed is reduced by 25%.]
Sure enough, these new creatures were also called Drowned Zombies. They were exactly the same as the zombies at the Dead Soul Lake.
The Slow skill made the Drowned Zombies more durable, while the Ominous Aura skill became more powerful as the battle dragged on. After 10 stacks, the enemy's attributes would drop by 10 points, which meant that their attributes would drop by 40 points. It was still very scary.
Moreover, the Drowned Zombies here were standard Level-10 creatures. Compared to the zombies at the Dead Soul Lake, their attributes were almost double, and their abilities were much stronger.
However, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had improved a lot compared to the Drowned Zombies they had faced before!
Li Shuyi rushed out and used Invincible Slash. He slashed seven times in a row, stacking his passive skills first.
Three of the Drowned Zombies died in an instant. If they were intelligent creatures, they would have already fled in all directions. However, these zombies did not know fear. Driven by their instincts, they stretched out their arms and pounced on Li Shuyi.
Black figures appeared in the fog around them. They were the Drowned Zombies that had been attracted over. In the blink of an eye, dozens of zombies had gathered, forming a small group of monsters.
The Ominous Aura stacked on Li Shuyi, but so what? Even if all attributes dropped by 10 points, Li Shuyi still had an overwhelming advantage when his two passive skills were fully loaded!
Moreover, Li Shuyi would not give the zombies any time to stack their Ominous Aura. Her figure was like a butterfly weaving through flowers as she shuttled through the zombie horde. Every time her sword stabbed out, it would definitely pierce through a zombie's throat or head.
Bai Xiaowen was a ranged player, so he was even less affected by the ominous aura. He took out his Desert Eagle and continuously fired shots. With the first drop of blood from the Blood Essence Stone, he basically only needed two shots to kill one player.
The Lobsterman Warrior Albert was dumbfounded. He only regained his senses after the two of them finished off the zombies like a tornado.
"Honorable guest, you and your entourage are too powerful!"
Li Shuyi smiled and took off the Undead Camouflage on his body. "With this thing, I can finally move freely."
"Okay, Albert, how far are we from the ruins?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"We're almost there … Look ahead!" Albert said loudly, waving his snakehead excitedly.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi raised their heads.
After the corpses of a group of drowned zombies turned cold, in the distant fog, a magnificent memorial appeared in front of the three of them. The ruins were very tall, like a temple towering in the clouds.
"When did it appear … Why didn't I sense it at all?" Bai Xiaowen was a little puzzled. With the range of his mental power, if such a large palace appeared in his field of vision, it should have been detected by his mental power long ago.
However, when Bai Xiaowen tried to extend his mental power, the temple was empty as far as his eyes could see. It was as if the temple was in another dimension.
"Let's continue forward," Bai Xiaowen said. Since it involved a dusty temple, perhaps there were some hidden methods to hide it.
The three of them continued forward. Along the way, the monsters they encountered were basically Dead Swamp Crocodiles and Drowned Zombies. Occasionally, they would encounter a few ghosts. However, they had yet to encounter a Chieftain ranked monster. These monsters were no match for Bai Xiaowen and his companion.
"How much further do we have to go?"
Bai Xiaowen frowned. The three of them had already walked a long way, but when they looked at the temple again, it did not seem to shorten at all. It was as if the temple was also moving backward as the three of them moved forward.
Albert showed a hint of fear. "Sir, I'm afraid the ruins think that we are not qualified to enter and have rejected us! We can't go any further. Going against the will of the gods will anger the gods! "
"Yar Patel, which god do you believe in?" Bai Xiaowen suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile.
"… Well, no matter which god I believe in, I should be respectful to all the gods."
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "You're right, Albert. Since this relic welcomes us, let's go back the way we came."
Albert was startled for a moment before he said happily, "Yes, Sir."
Li Shuyi followed behind with a belly full of suspicion, but she did not say anything.
The three of them walked all the way back. After walking for a long time, Albert opened his mouth and said,
"Sir, we're almost at our village. If we go south, we'll be able to leave the swamp."
"No, let's continue east," Bai Xiaowen said.
"Ah?" Albert said in a daze. "But if we go east, we'll go deep into the swamp."
"Don't be confused. Just go forward." Bai Xiaowen took the lead.
Albert hurriedly followed.
As they walked, Li Shuyi suddenly made a sound of surprise.
"What do you see?" Bai Xiaowen asked with a smile.
"Well, there's a puddle here. There's a waist-high patch of wormwood beside it … Whether it's the shape of the puddle or the location of the wormwood, I seem to have seen it all before," Li Shuyi said.
"Let's continue forward."
"Hey, there's a mound with a high elevation here. It has appeared before!" Li Shuyi exclaimed. "It seems that when we were walking west … the same terrain appeared, but the order was reversed."
"Well, it seems like you've discovered the problem."
Facing Li Shuyi and Albert's gaze, Bai Xiaowen said, "Actually, the actual size of this swamp is much smaller than it looks. There's a 'mirror maze' here … With the lobster village as the central axis, the west and east sides of the swamp are the two sides of the mirror! Just now, when we were walking west, we were actually moving towards the mirror image of the ruins. Naturally, we were going in the opposite direction. "
"Then … the real ruins are in this direction?" the lobsterman warrior Albert asked doubtfully.
"See for yourself … we're almost there," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.
Albert looked forward and gazed into the distance.
Plop. He knelt down.
In front of them, the ruins of a magnificent temple were faintly discernible in the fog. Compared to the previous unreachable temple, this temple seemed more "real." The abnormal feeling of alienation from the other dimension finally disappeared.
