The flesh and blood of these mummies were shriveled.
It's unknown how long they had been dead.
They looked incredibly eerie.
However, Zong Shen, though slightly uneasy, had to lead by example as a Lord.
These wraiths moved slowly.
As long as he was careful, there shouldn't be any problems.
Zong Shen took the lead, quickly approaching the mummy holding a Short Sword, raising his Sharp German Sword.
"Two-Stage Slash!"
Zong Shen used the skill he had just learned.
In the blink of an eye, he slashed twice.
The cuts landed on the Leather Armor of the wraith.
Instantly leaving two sword marks.
[-28]
[-28]
"Damn!"
Zong Shen exclaimed.
Even though the wraith's Leather Armor was already in tatters, its defensive capability was remarkable.
His Basic Slash Damage was 46.37, and the Level 1 Two-Stage Slash added 1.3 to the damage.
That meant each slash had a Slashing Damage of 60 points.
But the actual damage was only 28 points.
This meant that the wraith's upper body defense was as high as 32 points.
Zong Shen stepped back two steps, focusing to check the specific attributes of this Short Sword Wraith.
[Resentful Dead lv8]
[Race: Undead Race]
[Slashing Damage: 21~27]
[Life Value: 394/450]
[Armor Value: 32]
[Skills: Corpse Eater (Devour corpses to restore life), Wraith Strike (Launches a strike with Short Sword, dealing 10 points of Chaos Damage that ignores armor)]
(Its head and exposed limbs are unarmored, and full damage can be inflicted)
This wraith had a Life Value of 450 points, plus an Armor Value of 32, a standard tank-like monster.
Fortunately, apart from high defense and life, it didn't have any peculiar abilities.
Zong Shen began to move side to side.
Marble pillars became obstacles to these wraiths' movements.
Zong Shen employed the Qin King's maneuver around the pillar.
Then he waited for an opportunity to slash at the wraith's head.
[-46]
Sure enough, it was full damage, but unfortunately, without the damage bonus from the Two-Stage Slash.
Still, this Damage Value remained notable.
But before Zong Shen could deliver a second strike, the Short Sword in the wraith's hand glowed black and slashed at him!
The speed was swift, leaving him no time to dodge.
This was indeed its skill, the effect of Wraith Strike.
Zong Shen avoided the vital parts.
He watched helplessly as the Short Sword directly slashed onto the Rugged Wolf Hide Armor, leaving a small gap.
[-6]
[-10]
"Luckily!"
Zong Shen took the hit, retreated several steps, and touched the sword mark on the Wolf Hide Armor.
The wraith's attack barely broke through the defense, and the 10 points of damage were from the Chaos Damage of Wraith Strike.
Realizing that, Zong Shen understood.
He started to launch a continuous wave of attacks.
He used the marble pillar for cover and kept attacking the mummy's weak spots.
He landed seven slashes!
The mummy in front of him finally had only a sliver of blood left.
One more slash would send it to the afterlife.
In the lower part of Zong Shen's vision, the kill notifications from the Wolf Cavalry appeared.
[Your subordinate Wolf Cavalry killed Resentful Dead lv9, you will acquire half of the Experience Value]
[Your subordinate Wolf Cavalry killed Resentful Dead lv6, you will acquire half of the Experience Value]
[Your subordinate Wolf Cavalry killed Resentful Dead lv8, you will acquire half of the Experience Value]
...
[Acquired Experience Value (150×½)=75]
[Acquired Experience Value (110×½)=55]
[Acquired Experience Value (130×½)=65]
...
Three Wolf Cavaliers opened fire in succession, completing their first kills.
Currently, only he and Tiezhu hadn't yet taken down their opponents.
The three Wolf Cavaliers dealt with these mummies effortlessly.
Combined with the Giant Wolf's Tearing Bite, they easily took down a wraith.
Zong Shen tightened the grip on his sword hilt, ready to deliver the final blow to the wraith before him, when suddenly, green light flashed underfoot.
The stone slab ground beneath him was upturned.
Then a thorn-covered vine shot up from below, entwining Zong Shen's lower leg in an instant.
Binding him to the spot.
At the same time, the thorns were trying to pierce Zong Shen's lower leg.
Fortunately, the defense of the Emerald Green Leg Armor was exceptionally superb.
"Damn it!"
Zong Shen raised his sword to cut the vines underfoot, when suddenly Korby's anxious shout came from nearby.
"Lord, be careful!"
"Whoosh!"
Then, came the sound of something piercing through the air, as Korby hurled a Short Spear that flew past Zong Shen's side, shooting behind him.
"Bang"
A muffled sound followed.
Zong Shen abruptly turned to see that the Short Spear collided mid-air with a green Energy Arrow, shattering it, while the Short Spear hurled by Korby bent and deformed, falling to the ground.
Behind him, a wraith clad in a tattered Priest Robe was chanting silently with a Magic Staff raised high.
He turned around and slashed apart the thorny vines underfoot.
The Short Sword Wraith was just shambling over!
Zong Shen lifted his foot, kicking it to the ground, then plunged his sword into its head with both hands.
[-12]
[-26]
The wraith turned into white light and vanished, leaving behind a few smaller light clusters where it stood, which were the rewards it dropped.
[Killed lv8 Resentful Dead]
[Acquired Experience Value 130 points]
...
Zong Shen had no time to look at other rewards.
He turned around and rushed toward the Priest Zombie behind him.
By this time, Tiezhu had finally dealt with a wraith.
However, compared to the three Wolf Cavaliers and Zong Shen, he was far less composed.
He had lost a quarter of his blood volume.
At this moment, Tiezhu was closest to Zong Shen.
Seeing Zong Shen ready to deal with the Priest Zombie, he also slipped into the shadows, stealthily approaching, faster than Zong Shen.
The Priest Zombie was silently chanting, ready to unleash a powerful Magic.
But Tiezhu certainly wouldn't let it succeed.
The Dagger in his hand turned into a silver-white streak, slicing across the Priest Zombie's throat.
Here, too, was an unarmored weak spot.
[-37]
A Damage Value floated from its head.
At the same time, from this Priest Zombie's body, thorns suddenly sprouted, like spines, stabbing fiercely and then disappearing.
This was Thorn Armor!
"Ugh!"
Tiezhu let out a muffled groan, hiding back in the shadows.
[-4]
A Damage Value appeared above his head.
It seemed this Priest Zombie was tougher to deal with than the Short Sword Wraith.
Its tricks were manifold, even possessing a Passive Counterattack ability.
"Tiezhu, do not be reckless, act according to my orders."
By now, the three Wolf Cavaliers had taken out the second wave of mummies.
A bright white light flashed on Zong Shen, instantly restoring his blood volume; he had leveled up!
The sheer Quantity of these [Resentful Dead] was gradually reducing.
It wouldn't take long for the three Wolf Cavaliers to come and help.
However, in battle, the three Wolf Cavaliers also suffered some injuries.
Seeing this made Zong Shen feel a bit distressed.
These Warriors were his most valuable assets for survival in this world.
