The twenty-four strongholds outside of Jinling had set up Fierce Fire Traps and created a Burning Camp Formation to stop the Undead Army from advancing. Because the Shadow Canopy blocked satellites and detection spells, it was impossible to know how many Undead Army had been burned to death.
But it was definitely not a small number.
Holding the Phoenix Divine Fire Fan, Su Hongying reignited the flames that were about to go out and turned them into a sea of fire. A portion of the undead army's points went to her.
By the time the fire was extinguished, her points had increased by 330,000.
Now, she needed to convert her points into combat power. She had the Fire Demon's Hand Warhammer as a weapon and the metal armor created by the Desolate God for defense. Also, ordinary equipment wouldn't be able to withstand the fire element and would be burned to ashes.
After thinking about it, she decided to exchange for an item.
This was the inspiration she got from Wu Yan. The evolution base had Mana Crystal Stones, which cost 30,000 points each. Similar to Mana Crystals, Mana Crystals contained more mana but had a larger capacity. Su Hongying spent 270,000 for nine fire-elemental Mana Crystal Stones.
The Lords of the Abyss knew how to embed magic stones into their bodies and form a miniature magic net. With Su Hongyu's help, Su Hongying successfully fused the nine Mana Crystal Stones into her body.
As a Greater Devil, she had an energy core formed by condensing mana: the magic core.
Right now, the nine Source Mana Stones revolved around the Monster Core and formed a net, forming a second source of mana.
This way, Su Hongying's total mana capacity would increase by about one-third.
The trump card that Su Hongying and her summoned creatures released together, Matante, would transform all the mana into bombs and absorb all the mana. However, the mana source was separated from the magic core, so it wasn't affected.
Releasing Matante meant losing most of her combat power. Now, the remaining mana source in the magic net was enough for her to continue fighting.
The Phoenix Divine Fire Fan had disappeared after being activated once by Daoist White Brow. Su Hongying couldn't use it again, so she had to return it to Li Jianren.
After learning the information brought by Lin Xi, Zhao Shiyi and the others were shocked, but there was nothing they could do. All the necessary preparations had already been done. For the time being, there was no way to get any reinforcements. The Imperial Capital and the other cities were being held back by the Boss forces nearby. As for the super experts, it was not easy to get them.
Fortunately, Jinling's defense was not weak.
The Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Defense Towers stood at the five corners of the city.
In addition, after the city was unlocked, there was also the Bronze Fire-spitting Beast Head from the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" world. It could spit fire more than ten meters long. A while ago, almost all the resources in Jinling City were spent on this magical item.
The Undead Army was controlled by a Boss. Fearing that the Undead Army would surround the city and launch an all-out attack, the entire city of Jinling sold everything they had to exchange for 3,000 Undead Soldiers. One Undead Soldier was installed on the city walls at regular intervals.
In addition, near the city walls, there was also a "Archery Tower" from the "Dream of the Three Kingdoms" world at regular intervals. These were also city buildings.
Lin Xi wanted to make use of this rare time to use the Collapsing Jade to completely fuse the Heroic Aura with the Wave of Nothingness to form a top-level energy that was comparable to the Asura Aura.
However, it was still unknown if this operation would succeed. This was because he had not even obtained the Wave of Nothingness for a long time. His state of mind could not keep up. In addition, in Shen City, Amaterasu was focused on absorbing the Power of Faith. Part of her attention was also diverted.
The fire burned for about ten hours before it was extinguished. After another seven to eight hours of rest, the Undead Army finally reached the outskirts of the city.
Rotting zombies, skeletons holding all kinds of crude weapons, ghouls sprawled on the ground like shrunken versions of Foragers, a cloud of black mist, and a shadow with a humanoid silhouette. The current Undead Army's low-level combat units were these four types.
With a strong aura of death, the Undead Army was like a black tide, surging towards the direction of Jinling from afar. Rotting flesh, pale dancing soul flames, violent bloodthirsty gazes, and the coldness of the dead.
As the Undead Army passed through the ground, the soil became lifeless gray at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A barren land!
One could imagine that once the Undead Army broke into the city, the entire Jinling City would definitely become a land of death. Seeing the advancing Undead Army in the distance, Zhao Shiyi and Zhuge Liang's faces were a little solemn. The two of them were the commanders of this battle.
"The Floating Island did not appear. The Three Dark Shadow Powerhouses did not show up. Wu Yan, Su Mei, and the other evolvers and gravediggers did not appear either. The Dark Shadow Island has been pushing forward, and it might even gather some forces along the way, such as the Phantom Man from Dino Rush or the Minotaur King from the Underground City."
Zhuge Liang used his binoculars to identify the composition of the Undead Army. He sighed and said, "There are no high-level soldiers. It seems that the Shadow Island is preparing to use these low-level Undead to weaken our strength."
Zombies and skeletons only gave one point for killing, while ghouls and shadows only gave two points. To the Shadow Island, these cannon fodder were endless. Using the Undead Army to attack the city would consume the strength and energy of the evolved humans. This was an open and aboveboard scheme.
Fortunately, the job seekers in Jinling City had experienced the siege of the city by the Biochemical Specter and were familiar with such large-scale battles. Furthermore, the eleven armies defending outside the city were all elites.
In the face of the incoming tide of undead spirits, the soldiers under the leadership of the generals did not move in the slightest, as if they were cast from iron.
"Strategists, get ready!"
Zhao Shiyi shouted to the seventy-odd strategists at the side. These weren't the eight old men with Martial Souls who had stimulated the Burning Barracks Formation with Zhuge Liang earlier. Instead, they were ordinary strategists who had switched jobs. They were responsible for displaying their respective strategists' skills when the undead army approached to stop or kill the enemy.
Strategists would awaken a new Strategist Skill every ten levels. Most of the people here were over level 10 and had mastered two skills. There were a dozen over level 20 who had mastered three skills.
"Landmine Ambush!"
The Ghouls, which were the swiftest among the Undead Army, touched the landmines and exploded into mincemeat. There were only nine people who knew how to use the Landmine Ambush Tactician, and the ninety landmines they created killed or injured more than a hundred and thirty Ghouls. This was a drop in the bucket for the Undead Army.
"Ten Antlers!"
Some strategists worked together to execute their skills. Suddenly, a bunch of branches and trunks tied together to form antlers appeared in front of the battlefield. While the Undead Army at the front was slightly hindered by the antlers, Zhuge Liang waved the flag on the city wall.
"Woo woo woo …"
Amidst the blowing of the bugle and beating of the military drums, the three formations at the front of the city, the Crane Wing Formation, the Long Snake Formation, and the Goose Formation, advanced. A total of three thousand soldiers, under the command of their generals, began to fire arrows.
The bows were strong bows forged by the NPC blacksmiths in the city. The arrows were also forged by steel mills. Even the weakest of the elite soldiers here was at least LV10, but their strength was more than double that of the boxing champions and strongmen before the end of the world.
Arrows pierced through the void, bringing with them a strong gust of wind. They were like black raindrops shooting toward the undead. Wave after wave of the undead fell like wheat that had been cut down by the arrows.
"Attack!"
The leaders of the three formations attacking the Undead Army, the three generals, also drew their bows and shot arrows. The weapons they held were much stronger than the bows of the ordinary soldiers, and when they released the arrows, their bodies flashed with a bright light.
Obviously, they were using General Skills!
The arrows shot by one of the generals were wrapped in a bright golden light, like the rising sun. The arrows shot by the other were wrapped in a layer of cold, clear white light. Lin Xi recognized that both of them were using General Skills of the Bow and Arrow category.
Sunset Bow!
Falling Moon Bow!
The former's arrows were wrapped in a layer of Sun Essence, which was the light energy condensed by the Sun's True Fire. The latter's arrows were wrapped in a ball of Moon Essence, which was the ice attribute and also light energy.
These two skills were extremely powerful. Wherever the Sunset Bow passed through, as long as it came into contact with the light, it would instantly be burnt to a crisp. Wherever the Falling Moon Bow passed through, the Undead would first be frozen in a ball of icy light before turning into powder.
The two arrows destroyed all the Undead Army in their path. They flew for more than a thousand meters before running out of energy and dissipating into the air.
"What a waste, what a waste."
As Amaterasu, Lin Xi was very familiar with the power of the Light Attribute. This kind of General Skill could even cause great damage to the Frost Dragon, but it was used on the Undead Army.
Zhao Shiyi smiled from the side: "General Skills consume something called Skill Power — — similar to Qi, but with a bit of Spirit Force mixed in. The consumption of Sunset Bow and Falling Moon Bow will automatically recover to full in about 6-7 hours. Now that the war has just begun, using these skills can also boost the morale of the troops"
At this time, the third general also drew his bow. This bow was not an ordinary weapon, but a magic weapon.
It should be known that the eleven generals of the army were all super elites among the Job Changers in Jinling. Even ordinary evolved humans could not compare to them. This general was a Level 52 general who had mastered six General Skills. The magic weapon in his hand was called the Lightning Bolt Bow.
This bow could increase the damage of the arrows fired by the Lightning Attribute. The general's General Skill was called Rapid Fire Arrows.
When the arrows shot out from the bow, they were wrapped in lightning. The lightning and fire were a dual elemental attack. Every arrow that hit its target would cause an explosion. How was this a Rapid Fire Arrow? It was obviously a howitzer! More than twenty Rapid Fire Arrows shot out in succession, blasting a patch of scorched earth.
Seeing such a scene, Lin Xi nodded to himself. Jinling was a special city with a long history. Even though there were not many strong people, it was still rich.
In fact, Jinling had been a large military base before the apocalypse. Even though the apocalypse had suddenly arrived and the military had suffered great losses, they still had some weapons and equipment left. It was just that be it bullets or cannons, they were used less and less.
They could only be used at critical moments.
"Even the Flesh Puppets and Stitched Monsters have not appeared. They are all cannon fodder sent to die by the Shadow Island. It's not worth much to kill them. Let's save our energy for the high-level undead."
Seeing that the evolved humans on the city wall also wanted to kill the cannon fodder undead, Zhao Shiyi hurriedly tried to dissuade them.
The others were persuaded, but Lin Xi did not care. No matter how small a mosquito's leg was, it was still meat. Moreover, the golden dragon summoned by Jin Feather had a time limit of 24 hours and was about to disappear.
He called out to the girls beside him and continued to fly towards the undead army with the green light ring. The five golden dragons followed behind him and spread their wings. The scene of them leaping from the city wall to the sky, coupled with the black shadow canopy as the background, was extremely spectacular.
The five golden dragons landed directly on the undead army. Facing the cannon fodder undead, they smashed the skeletons into smithereens with a casual swipe of their claws, and crushed the zombies and ghouls into meat paste. Physical attacks could not destroy the shadows without a physical body, but the golden dragons' golden breath could destroy the shadows in a fan shape.
The attacks of the undead couldn't break the defense of the golden scales at all.
"So powerful. These should be legendary giant dragons!" Zhu Wanying, who came from the Imperial City of Dragons, exclaimed inwardly.
"What? Another five dragons! "
The evolvers on the city walls who were originally shocked by the power of the golden dragon's unstoppable destruction of the undead saw Lin Xi take out several jade pendants and throw them out. When they landed on the ground, they actually turned into five giant dragons that looked like they were made from jade.
Five emerald dragons!
"Oh my god!"
Cries of alarm sounded from the city walls again. They saw a beautiful giant white dragon control air currents and clouds, appearing above Lin Xi's head. It was as if it was swimming, soaring through the air. Hurricanes swept down from the sky one after another, mixed with lightning, sweeping large amounts of undead creatures within.
Mist Dragon!
Lin Xi was now surrounded by five dragons, one silver dragon, five emerald dragon, a total of eleven giant dragons!
In any system, be it the East or the West, giant dragons were the representatives of powerful creatures. The legendary spell of the DND system was known as the "Divine Skill", but it could only summon red dragons. How could there be legendary dragons like gold dragons, silver dragons, and emerald dragons?
While everyone was either shocked or envious, Lin Xi activated a ring on his left hand. This was the treasure he chose when the City of Holy Church was established: the Elemental Ring. However, it had never been useful. Now that Shirai Kuroko was a summoner, he took it out.
The Elemental Ring required magic power to activate, but it was nothing. He could use the magic crystals he exchanged to activate it.
Earth, fire, water, and wind. The four Elemental Giants made of pure elements were not as powerful as the giant dragons. However, in the Heroes of Invincibility and Magic Plane, they were above average soldiers. They were completely made of energy and were like natural enemies to Shadow Jian Zhi.
Eleven giant dragons and four Elemental Giants. The creatures that Lin Xi summoned alone were enough to stop the attack of the undead army. What was a strong person who could suppress the fate of a city?
This was without a doubt.
However, wasn't the master of the City of Holy Church a fighter? He had mastered the Assassination Fist and seemed to have the bloodline of a Saiyan. How did he become a summoner?
Large numbers of undead were destroyed by the giant dragons. The points in the phone of the main body were also increasing rapidly.
