Chapter 159: The First Battle
Rushing out of the undead disaster ritual formation, Gu Xi suddenly turned his head. He found that behind him was a huge magic formation enveloped by a light purple screen.
The position he was guarding was just one point of this magic formation.
Nearly a hundred defensive points similar to his were surrounding a straight light pillar, forming a large magic formation.
A large number of undead were being generated and gathered in this magic formation, eventually being moved to different positions.
As long as the enemy dared to attack the undead disaster ritual formation, they would become part of the magic formation, filling the consumption of the magic formation after death, and becoming a skeleton in the undead disaster.
At this moment, Gu Xi also understood his task.
What he was guarding was a node of the magic formation, which was also an attack node.
This place was constantly emitting an aura that attracted the enemy.
Without even looking, Gu Xi could know that other players at similar nodes were now commanding the three thousand skeletons they had just obtained to prepare for defense.
But Gu Xi was different.
Gu Xi had only one thought: now that he had become a necromancer, what was there to fear in charging with the undead?
Killing the enemy outside his defensive range was real skill.
Understanding the current situation, Gu Xi turned his hand, and the Cold Wind Staff pointed at the red-skinned dry corpse that had already begun charging.
"Bone Storm!"
In the direction Gu Xi pointed, a tornado formed by a large number of bones advanced toward the red-skinned dry corpses.
These bones carried +3 cold air, and just a touch would freeze a person.
As the Bone Storm pushed forward, a frozen path appeared in the enemy's charging formation.
This disrupted the charging formation of the red-skinned dry corpses, and the dry corpses coming from behind even pressed on their companions in front.
This chaos was immediately seized by Luna on the front line. She pointed her hand toward the enemy, and the skeleton archer leader in the undead army instantly understood.
Buzz!
A wave of arrows fell from the sky, nailing the chaotic enemy to the ground.
Then a group of skeletons rushed onto the dry corpses, wielding the simplest weapons, chopping and smashing the dry corpses.
Due to the fall and chaos, the dry corpses lost the first chance to counterattack.
Even if the skeletons' weapons were not great, they quickly gained the upper hand.
At this moment, Gu Xi also followed the troops to the forefront of the battlefield.
He noticed at the back of the formation, nearly thirty red-skinned dry corpses were carrying a seat made of wood and white baboon skin.
On the seat sat a red-skinned being like a small mountain.
This red-skinned being looked like a slightly shrunken abomination.
However, when he raised his head, a flash of wisdom appeared in his eyes.
He was the commander of this red-skinned dry corpse army.
He was a rare leader among the wights with both wisdom and strength.
He was different from other wights. He considered himself a general, believing that fighting head-on on the battlefield was what he should do.
He did not want to achieve victory through strange means or sneak attacks.
Only by attacking and breaking through the enemy's defenses head-on would he feel happy and satisfied.
At the same time, he would personally kill some enemies he acknowledged and stitch their bodies onto himself.
In his view, only this way was worthy of such a battle.
The chaotic scene in front of him was not what he wanted.
Seeing his hard-trained red-skinned dry corpses charging recklessly again, the abomination was also angry. He reached down and grabbed a hook-ended iron rod.
"Get out of my way!"
The abomination shouted loudly, and the red-skinned dry corpses in front of him quickly moved aside. The abomination strode forward, shouting as he charged.
"Watch me, the first battalion follows me in the charge.
Other units flank them from both sides. Can't you see there aren't many of them?
Surround them, and we can... Damn it, who shot me with a sneak attack."
Before the abomination could finish his orders, a bone spike hit his face.
The cold power almost froze his mouth shut.
Looking in the direction the bone spike came from, the abomination found Gu Xi standing on an evil coffin, holding the Cold Wind Staff and pointing at him.
This didn't anger the abomination. He quickly looked around, trying to understand the opponent's intentions.
In the abomination's view, Gu Xi was just a necromancer.
A necromancer who should have been stationed at the rear was at the front line, actively provoking him.
This was illogical.
So there must be an ambush nearby. The necromancer was just bait, trying to lure him over and separate him from his army to prioritize killing him.
Many thoughts flashed through the abomination's mind.
He also considered many countermeasures.
However, he didn't expect that Gu Xi had no such complex plans. The reason he attacked the abomination was simply that he saw the abomination rush out.
To avoid affecting the front line, Gu Xi didn't mind taking a shot.
If there were really any calculations, they wouldn't use a bone spike. Gu Xi had other skills to explore.
Seeing that his attack didn't cause much damage to the abomination, Gu Xi began to prepare a second move.
While the abomination was still considering if there was some conspiracy behind Gu Xi's actions, Gu Xi had already cast a spell in his direction.
Bone Storm!
A Bone Storm centered around the abomination quickly formed, and numerous bones kept hitting him, each strike taking away much of his life.
The abomination was puzzled.
He had thought of many ways to deal with himself, but none of them were used.
A necromancer couldn't be so senseless.
There must be something wrong.
While resisting the Bone Storm's attack and pondering this issue, Gu Xi was also a bit stunned.
What was this guy doing? Was he just ignoring his attacks because he was tough?
Gu Xi quickly shouted, "Skeleton archer leader, focus fire!"
The skeleton archer leader saw the situation and knew who the target was.
He raised his longbow with his left hand, and all the skeleton archers looked at him.
Then the skeleton archer leader drew his bow, and a bone arrow flew toward the abomination with a whistling sound.
The abomination looked up and saw a shower of arrows flying toward him.
Realizing the danger, he spun the iron rod in his hand, blocking many of the arrows with a rapid series of clangs.
At this moment, Gu Xi also cast another spell, pointing the Mind Lantern in the abomination's direction.
Bewilderment!
