The ruins looked like the ruins of a city. His spawn point should be the remains of a cathedral or temple. It should be near the center of the city.
After killing most of the Undead around him, he made up his mind. He controlled the remaining ninety-eight spearmen to head to the south where there were fewer dilapidated walls. The aura of the Undead there was particularly strong.
According to the usual game routine, there should be a mini boss or something like that at his spawn point. At the same time, according to the rules of the ruins, he guessed that there was not only a boss in the city but also a monster lair. He just didn't know whether it was skeletons or zombies.
This monster lair could continuously spawn monsters. If it was destroyed, the heart of the lair, similar to an army camp, could be placed in the troop class lair slot of the summoning core. It could continuously condense skeleton troop classes for the heroes to summon.
Finding the Undead Lair and the boss was very simple. He just had to go wherever he felt the aura of the Undead was thicker.
The Undead were everywhere in the ancient city ruins. They would be discovered by the Undead after taking a few steps. They had to fight their way through.
Fortunately, their strategic attributes were quite high. After the buff, the spearmen's attack power reached the level of a Level Two troop class. They could easily crush the skeletons and slow-moving zombies. They advanced forward easily and kept accumulating points.
Although there were very few points, all of them being 0.1 or 0.2 points, many a little makes a mickle.
It was worth mentioning that Lin Xiao's avatar was digitalized after entering the Vientiane Ruins. According to the divine power of the avatar and the divinity of the real body, he was transformed into a Hero Template. His strength was transformed into a Level Six Transcendent, and his divine power was transformed into 100 points of Hero Mana.
Mana was useless now. When he was promoted to a Level One Hero, he would have the opportunity to learn the Hero's special strategic spells.
Normal Mana would not recover with time, which meant that it would not recover every day. However, if he had the strategic attribute of Intelligence, he could recover Mana equivalent to Intelligence every day. In other words, if he had ten points of Intelligence, he could recover ten points of Mana every day.
Therefore, this Hero Mana could not be used carelessly. It had to be used sparingly.
From this, it could be seen that the strength of the players in the Vientiane Ruins was greatly weakened. It seemed that the strategic attributes and troop classes were more valued here. Personal strength was greatly limited.
This was a good thing for Lin Xiao … Well, it should be said that it was a good thing for all the contestants who had descended through projection.
However, the situation wasn't so good for players who had descended with their real bodies. Although they were still as powerful as before, the transformation of Divine Power into Mana had greatly reduced their strength. For players like them, without Divine Power in their real bodies, it was the equivalent of a Warrior without a blade. They could only fight on the battlefield with their bare hands. Even if they were still as powerful as before, their lethality had plummeted by many times.
No wonder so many people who descended with their true bodies had died so miserably. It would be strange if they didn't die miserably with such a method.
Even if Wu Zhonglin's real body were to descend, this saber strike would be unbearable.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but hesitate. Should he summon his clan tribe?
The heroic troop class could be summoned using troop class cards, and could also be summoned using various troop class nests. With these two sources, was there a need to summon the true bodies of the Celestial Domain's minions?
At first, he had thought of summoning his own tribe and relying on the Little Mermen, the intelligent Gnome Mage, and the powerful Shura Naga to sweep through everything.
However, he now felt that he might not be able to sweep through everything. Or rather, if he did so, the losses he would suffer would be unbearable.
After all, once the summoned tribe died in battle, it would truly die.
When he thought about how the summoned tribe would truly die in battle, using a living tribe to fight these alchemy puppets or other monsters to the death, he felt that it was not worth it.
It was too much of a loss!
Lin Xiao couldn't make up his mind. Fortunately, he had two troop class cards at the start of the game. The two hundred spearmen were enough for the time being. He would use them for a while and see how things went.
Yes, summoning a tribe required a Level 1 summoning core.
Thanks to the fact that the spearmen were alchemy creations, they didn't have as strong a life force as a living person, and the undead weren't very sensitive. They would only be attacked when they entered a range of forty to fifty meters. However, if there was a loud noise, the area of attraction would expand, but it generally wouldn't exceed a hundred meters.
After these undead died in battle, they didn't gain anything other than 0.1 or 0.2 points. They didn't drop any gold coins or equipment as expected.
However, he couldn't be sure. Since the rules of the Wanxiang Ruins were so similar to a game, and there was a so-called boss, maybe there really was one. It was just that the undead in front of him were too weak to drop anything.
There were really a lot of undead in the ruins. He had killed hundreds along the way, but there was still an endless stream of undead attracted to him. Moreover, the further he went, the more there were. There wasn't much change in their strength. This was probably a spawn point or something like a newborn village, so there wouldn't be any undead that were too powerful.
He killed his way through this large open space, which was probably more than a thousand meters away. If the city wasn't big, he would probably have to go through it. Unexpectedly, he didn't see a large group of undead or a boss nest as he imagined. Instead, he killed his way to an abandoned city wall and was about to leave the city.
“emmm...“
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment. He killed all the undead around him and led his troops into the city.
If there weren't any, then so be it. The sooner he got ten thousand points, the sooner he could level up his summoning core and unlock a higher population limit.
In order to reduce the loss of his spearmen, whenever he encountered a large group of undead, he would personally go into battle. Whether it was skeletons or zombies, they were all killed with a single punch.
Even so, there were still continuous losses. Every time a few died, he would spend ten gold coins from the second spearman card to summon a replacement. This way, he would maintain the number of spearmen under him at all times.
In addition, these spearmen could be upgraded after killing enough targets. They could be upgraded from new recruits to veteran soldiers by spending five gold coins. Apart from Intelligence, all of their attributes would be increased by 0.5. Not only was the increase good, but they were also more agile and had faster reactions. Even their weapons were sharper.
However, the foundation of spearmen was too weak. They died too easily. Even if they were upgraded to veteran soldiers, they would die in minutes in a complicated battlefield. It was very difficult to raise them.
Two and a half hours later, Lin Xiao didn't know how many undead he had killed. He only knew that he had accumulated more than four hundred points. The two spearmen cards had a total of two hundred, but only eighty-six of them were left. Most of them had been upgraded to veteran soldiers, but none of them had survived to accumulate enough experience to be upgraded to elite spearmen.
However, after killing so many undead, he finally obtained his first spoil of war, a fragment of a Skeleton Card.
The complete Skeleton Card was a Level 1 troop like the spearman card. It could summon one hundred skeletons, and four fragments could be combined into a complete card.
As for the drop rate, it was amazing!
However, he still had to continue grinding. He didn't have many soldiers left.
Later on, when his subordinates dwindled, he personally took action. Using his powerful Strength, he lifted a broken stone pillar and swept it across. With a single sweep, he cleared a large area. His efficiency was extremely high, but his Stamina consumption was a little high.
Along the way, he swept a circle around the ruins. By the time he finished, the sky was almost dark. He had killed countless undead, and he was about fifty points away from 1,000. However, after clearing most of the undead in the ruins, the remaining undead did not seem to be enough to reach 1,000 points.
Fortunately, his luck wasn't bad. Level 6 Skeleton Card fragments dropped in one go. Including the one from before, he had a total of seven fragments.
Using four fragments to combine into a single Skeleton Card, he summoned over fifty skeletons to fill the limit of one hundred.
However, what was depressing was that after summoning the skeletons, the spearmen actually received a negative Death Aura buff, which reduced all their attributes by 10%. This buff would become stronger as the size of the troop increased and the proportion of undead increased.
When it was dark, the undead would generally have a boost in combat power. However, at this time, there weren't many undead in the ruins. After going around and clearing out some that he had missed, Lin Xiao led his subordinates to find a place near the walls of the ruins and built a temporary camp. They were going to wait until dawn to set off.
As a newcomer, it was better to be safe.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Soon, it was completely dark.
Most of the spearmen were lying down and sleeping, but the undead did not need to sleep. They surrounded the temporary camp and kept watch.
As for Lin Xiao, although he could go a few days without sleep, he had nothing to do now. He leaned against a broken wall and closed his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiao, who was in a daze, suddenly felt the temperature drop. He raised his head and saw fog in front of him.
No, it wasn't fog. It was a thick gray death aura that was gushing out from under the ruins. He quickly stood up and jumped onto the broken wall. He saw a large amount of gray death aura gushing out from the cracks of the ruins and turning into a thick fog.
This abnormality quickly alerted him. He kicked the spearmen awake and gathered all his subordinates to be ready for battle.
A few minutes later, when the density of the death mist reached a certain level, he could vaguely see a human silhouette in the mist. Cold wills were slowly forming. At the same time, in the middle of the city ruins that were shrouded in the thick mist, he could feel a powerful will gradually awakening.
"I'll throw a ghost!"
Without waiting for these wills to take shape, he quickly ordered his subordinates to gather and rush in one direction.
However, his movement instantly attracted the attention of these cold wills. The fog began to roll and surge. The phantoms accelerated their formation and turned into transparent ghosts that pounced on them.
Before the ghosts arrived, the cold aura hit them in the face.
Lin Xiao snorted coldly and smashed his fist down. A spirit that was pouncing toward him exploded and turned into a cold mist that dissipated.
However, two spearmen beside him stabbed their spears. The spear tip pierced through the ghost. The white shadow pounced on the spearmen without any hindrance. The two veteran spearmen instantly lost their lives and silently fell to the ground.
"Crash!"
He quickly turned his head. On the other side, more than a dozen skeletons were swept by a group of ghosts. Their bodies trembled violently and shattered into countless white bones.
"Damn it!"
Lin Xiao had a thought. He ordered all his subordinates to attack in all directions to attract the ghosts' attention. He then rushed out of the city without looking back.
At this time, his subordinates were definitely not safe. He could use them to buy himself some time.
Fortunately, his transformed hero's body had reached the extraordinary level of level six. The hero's template was very resistant to all kinds of abnormalities. In addition, the campsite he chose was very close to the outside of the city. He buried his head and charged forward. He also summoned all the remaining skeletons in the skeleton card to be cannon fodder. This allowed him to rush out.
The moment he rushed out of the ruins of the city wall, the coldness that could freeze one's soul disappeared instantly. The death fog that shrouded his vision also disappeared.
