LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 89: Eight Gates of Life and Death
"I will draw the bow to attract the demons and see how they attack."
"That's right, please let Sima Zhou go ahead."
Zhou Yuan pulled the Flowing Fire Bow and triggered the two equipment skills of Xinsu and Chique at the same time, causing the arrow in his hand to immediately ignite a red flame.
Swoosh, the speeding arrow rubbed against the air, and the burning flame was cone-shaped, like a red spirit bird, hitting a [level 10 purple zombie].
With a bang, a large hole was blown out of the neck of the [level 10 purple zombie], but no blood oozes out.
The flame carried by the arrow attached to the hole and burned, emitting bursts of stench and smoke.
Zhou Yuan saw clearly that the body of the [level 10 purple zombie] was as difficult to burn as wet hardwood.
Even if the red bird flame generated by spiritual energy is high temperature and explosive, it can only have an explosive roasting effect, and cannot ignite it.
In addition, the body of [Level 10 Purple Zombie] is covered with a thick layer of purple-black mycelium, which will emit wisps of black smoke when burned by flames.
The arrow shot by Zhou Yuan cleared 52% of its health, and there was no critical hit effect of weak point attack.
This means that its defense is excellent, there are fewer weak parts of its body, and it is a thick-blooded monster that can withstand poison.
However, the defects of [Level 10 Purple Zombie] are as many as its advantages.
First, it has no powerful weapons in its hands and can only bite and claw; second, its body is stiff and its combat flexibility is poor.
"Brother Meng, the target has a single attack method, and it is likely to carry toxins. The body is stiff and has no normal vital points."
"Okay, wait for it to come and hit my shield, so as to test its strength."
The monster attack judgment in the zombie copy is not active. After Zhou Yuan shot the purple zombie with a bow, only five zombies were chased out of the tomb passage.
The zombies in the other seven tomb passages did not react at all.
This is good news for the participating team. If they spend a little more time, they can safely clear a tomb passage.
But I don't know which passage the boss is behind. If we clear them one by one, time will be very tight.
Bang bang bang..., the movement speed of [Level 13 Jumping Corpse] is much faster than that of Purple and White Corpses.
Its jumping height is about two and a half meters, and each jump is about four meters long.
When it jumped close, Meng Xian did not take the opportunity to stab it with his gun and knock it down, but honestly raised his shield and took a hit.
The moment the long black nails touched the treasure shield, a harsh sound was made.
"It's powerful and heavy, and it's hard to resist. Fortunately, it's used to using claws, so it doesn't use much force.
Sima Zhou, let's retreat first, and then attack after we get the lighting spirit and anti-poison medicine."
"Okay, the corpse gas can't be ignored, we'd better find a few poison masks for the front-line soldiers to protect themselves."
As they spoke, Zhou Yuan and Meng Xian left the Wandering Corpse Secret Realm one after another.
The eight companions waiting outside saw them appear and hurried forward to ask for information.
After Zhou Yuan detailed what he saw and thought, the two sons of the nobles immediately said that the lighting spirit, anti-poison spirit, and poison mask could be handed over to them.
The magician from the noble family heard this and opened his talisman bag to search, saying that he had three corpse-suppressing talismans in his bag that could be used.
This made the team members happy, and they all told them not to use the corpse-suppressing talismans unless they were in danger, and it would be best to leave them all for the demon leader to enjoy.
"Or I can copy another corpse-suppressing talisman overnight."
"Forget it, it's a waste of energy and not conducive to attack. Sima Zhou has evil-suppressing arrows, which are enough to deal with ordinary wandering corpses."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. After the two noble sons left the camp and saw the family guards who followed them, they not only asked for things to illuminate and block poison, but also asked for corpse-suppressing talismans and evil-suppressing arrows.
After the two family guards left on horseback, Zhou Yuan and his party took a quick rest and prepared to launch an attack as soon as the necessary supplies arrived.
The magician from a noble family also entered the secret realm alone to survey it.
When he came back, he drew a Bagua map and sat there pondering where the gate of life and the gate of death were, and whether the demon leader should be at the gate of life or the gate of death.
"Cui Hong, stop thinking about it. When we attack, we will naturally see the difference.
Rest quickly. Don't wait until we need you, your head will be dizzy."
"Okay, rest now."
The magician Cui Hong listened to the advice. He took out a calming talisman from the talisman bag and slapped it on his head, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He looked like a zombie that remained quiet after being pasted with a talisman.
About seven hours later, around five o'clock in the morning, the relatives of the two noble sons arrived with various supplies.
The lighting objects and anti-poison medicine were easy to get, but the ten masks were not gathered. There were other anti-poison treasures that could be used as a substitute.
In addition, the corpse-suppressing talisman was unpopular, and there were fewer Taoists willing to draw this kind of talisman, so only eight were found in a short time.
The evil-suppressing arrows were easier to get. The relatives of the two families did not say much and gave Zhou Yuan and another archer two pots of evil-suppressing arrows respectively.
"The arrows and talismans are consumables, so I'll give them to you. I'll lend you the poison-proof treasure for your use.
These two poison-proof masks are for my sons, and the rest will be divided among the team leaders."
Before Meng Xian took action, the general of the imperial army took out the public record and recorded a merit for the two noble sons.
Because without supplies, the army formation cannot be formed, and preparing military supplies before the battle is also a kind of practical ability.
However, most people do not have this kind of practical ability, and only the local nobles and the nobles in the capital can temporarily supply it.
"We thank you for your support, and we will definitely compensate you with goods after the war."
The position of team leader is not easy to do, at least the distribution of supplies made Meng Xian scratch his scalp.
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and make his own decision. He gave five anti-poison treasures to each melee teammate and two to each ranged attack output.
As for the anti-poison treasures, according to the description of the noble relatives, the better ones were given to the melee teammates, and the worse ones were given to the three ranged output.
Zhou Yuan got a [Five Poisons Hundred-foot Pendant], which introduced that it can be used to attach poison, avoid poison with poison, and protect safety.
As soon as he put it on, he got a "slightly poisoned" state and a "poison avoidance" state.
The slightly poisonous state has almost no effect on him. As long as he doesn't wear it for a long time, it will not cause real poisoning effects.
After the team members got the anti-poison treasures, they quickly sorted out their weapons and entered the secret realm of wandering corpses one by one.
The two imperial guards who accompanied the test also kept a taciturn state and followed the secret realm, ready to record their achievements at any time.
As soon as everyone entered the secret realm, the magician Cui Hong pointed to the sarcophagus in the center and explained to everyone.
"Kan Gua is in the north, Kun Gua is in the southwest, Zhen Gua is in the east, Xun Gua is in the southeast, Qian Gua is in the northwest, Dui Gua is in the west, Gen Gua is in the northeast, and Li Gua is in the south.
We are now in the center of the palace. As long as we determine the direction of one of the passages, we can use the Eight Trigrams to solve the Eight Gates and determine the two paths of life and death."
"These corpses are dead and can move, representing a state of superposition of life and death.
I think the leaders of the secret realm here are mostly in the Shengmen passage."
"Gen gives birth to Kun and Kun dies. Gen represents mountain, young man, and stop. Kun represents land, people, and obedience.
For this reason, the one with the most demons should be the Death Gate, and the passage corresponding to it is the Shengmen."
