Chapter 193: The Power of the Skeleton Sea, Clearing the Ruins
The black fog spread very quickly, like a rushing torrent, instantly engulfing the summoned creatures such as the Rock Armored Army Ants that were at the forefront.
In an instant, these summoned creatures disappeared.
The thick black fog was as dark as ink, seeming to swallow up all light.
The summoned creatures that entered there stopped moving and made no sound at all, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
Under the manipulation of those dark mummies, the black fog is still slowly encroaching towards this side.
"My connection with the children has been cut off!" came the anxious voice of the queen ant.
The queen ant's telepathy can connect all the individuals in the colony, both to convey commands and to sense their locations at any time.
At this moment, it lost all contact with the ant colonies that were caught in the black fog.
It is impossible for so many ant colonies to be killed all at once.
Then, the only possibility is that the connection between them is blocked.
In fact, Mo Yu’s guess was correct. The black fog formed by the dark mummy did not have any lethality.
The most important function is to isolate perception and at the same time reduce the combat effectiveness of non-undead creatures.
The isolation here is not just a simple visual perception isolation, mental perception and auditory perception will also be blocked.
This caused a large number of summoned creatures that entered the black fog to wander around like headless flies.
With his talent as the Son of the Tower, Mo Yu was able to sense the approximate locations of the summoned creatures in the black fog, but he had lost control of them.
The only one that was not affected was the Undead Legion.
The Undead Legion's perception of the outside world comes from its special perception of the breath of life and is not blocked by the black fog.
Moreover, they themselves are undead and are not affected by the black fog.
Under Mo Yu's command, the Silver Bone Skeleton charged into the black fog.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the ordinary skeleton soldiers were delaying with their lives, the silver skeleton quickly penetrated the defense line of the mummy soldiers and headed straight for the magic mummies in the rear.
The two major magic arms of the mummy, the Cursed Mummy and the Dark Mummy, both of their signature skills are directly exempted by the Silver Skeleton.
He could only release small skills and try to disrupt the Silver Skeleton's advance.
But the Silver Skeleton ignored it and charged straight into the group of magic mummies.
The long swords and short knives in their hands flew up and down, easily cutting off the mummy's resilient body.
The weapon master feature of the epic Skeleton Summoning Tower means that although the equipment attached to it does not have any special abilities, its lethality is guaranteed.
At least, it is definitely not something that these mummies' bodies can stop.
The mummy leader hurriedly mobilized the mummy soldiers in front to try to rescue them, but their way back was blocked by a large number of skeleton soldiers, and only a small number of them broke through the blockade.
At the same time, outside the black fog, the queen ant commanded the rock ants and earth ants to form a wall to prevent the mummies outside the black fog from retreating back into the black fog.
Outside the black fog are melee mummies, and Mo Yu can't let them go back to surround and kill the silver-bone skeletons.
Otherwise, once they get rid of the Silver Skeletons and reorganize the formation, he will be in trouble.
"Salwen, leave them to me!" Mo Yu shouted.
Feeling the Lord's will, the Leopard Man leader Salwen led his Leopard Man warriors to act quickly and chase the mummies.
The daggers flew like light, beheading the mummies one by one.
The leopard warriors are very fast and have great explosive power, and their fierce offensive is simply beyond the ability of the mummy soldiers to resist.
Under their sharp attack, the number of mummy soldiers on the periphery was decreasing rapidly.
At this time, in the black fog, the Silver Skeleton's pursuit encountered a setback.
A type of soldier called the Bandage Mummy summoned a large number of bandages to slow down their pursuit.
This made it difficult for the Silver Bone Skeletons to further expand their victory. As the skeleton cannon fodder in front of them fell to the ground one after another, they gradually became surrounded.
Mo Yu knew that this batch of silver bone skeletons were gone.
However, they achieved their goal. In that wave of raids, they killed at least half of the dark mummies.
Now the spread of the black fog has slowed down significantly. It will take at least half an hour to cover the entire underground palace.
Mo Yu withdrew his perception and concentrated on commanding the summoned creatures outside to encircle and eliminate the mummy soldiers on the periphery.
Outside the black fog, the mummy soldiers were slowly closing in;
In the black room, the silver skeleton is being surrounded and killed by the mummy soldiers;
Mo Yu was very happy with this kind of war of attrition.
He has several summoning towers to replenish troops continuously, but the mummy does not, so he can make a lot of money by just keeping going.
As more and more summoned creatures arrived, the situation of the mummy soldiers outside the black fog took a turn for the worse.
They couldn't even survive the silver skeletons inside, and were completely destroyed under the siege of the leopard warriors and summoned creatures.
After annihilating the mummy troops on the periphery, Mo Yu quickly adjusted the formation.
The team of Fire Demon Wolves rushed towards the black fog and spewed flames into it wantonly.
On both sides, the Undead teams, led by the newly summoned Silver Skeletons, inserted themselves in like two sharp knives.
Now, after the recent melee, the number of the mummy army has been reduced to about half.
Mo Yu had enough confidence to consume it slowly.
His requirements for the skeleton soldiers were not high; ten for one or even twenty for one would be fine.
With the current combat effectiveness of the skeleton soldiers, it is not difficult to meet this requirement.
After all, they are equipped with weapons and equipment, and no longer fight with bare hands as before, so the difference in combat effectiveness is not at the same level.
Normally, it is difficult to tear open the mummy's defense with just a pair of bone claws.
But after having weapons, even the lowest level skeleton can cause damage to the mummy.
In this situation, it is not too easy to exchange life for life.
A large number of skeleton soldiers continuously rushed into the black fog. Their fearless attacks gave the mummy leader a lot of headaches.
Just now, under Mo Yu's surprise attack, nearly two-thirds of the melee mummies were left outside the black fog.
At the moment, the melee mummies it had were simply not enough to form a thick line of defense to resist the attacks of the undead creatures.
Moreover, among the later mummies, quite a few such as the cursed mummies and dark mummies are ineffective against undead creatures.
In a sense, they are the restrained party.
But the number of these skeleton soldiers is too terrifying.
Just like leeks, they grow again after being cut.
You can’t kill them all. You can’t kill them all.
The mummy leader secretly regretted that he shouldn't have sent the Claw Mummy out too early.
Otherwise, with these clawed mummies with amazing lethality, it would be much easier to resist these skeleton soldiers.
But now, it has no choice.
All they could do was watch helplessly as the balance of victory collapsed bit by bit.
As time went on, the killing power of the Mummy Legion could not keep up, and more and more skeleton soldiers gathered.
From a small stream it gradually turned into a river, and finally evolved into an endless sea of skeletons.
The most annoying thing was that long-range troops such as skeleton archers and skeleton mages began to appear later. The increasingly complete combination of troops suppressed the mummy army and forced it to retreat step by step.
Win! Feeling the Skeleton Sea gradually advancing deeper into the underground palace, Mo Yu let out a long sigh of relief.
After staying in this gloomy and dark underground palace for a long time, he became extremely depressed.
Now I just want to get rid of the enemy in front of me as soon as possible and leave with the spoils.
The sea of skeletons advanced forward little by little, and behind them was the army of ants organized by the queen ant.
The number of summoned creatures is increasing, and has formed an absolute numerical suppression.
In this case, even if there is black fog blocking the way, it is not a big problem.
Just push forward, and any force blocking your way will be crushed.
In fact, dark mummies also have their limits. Especially when their numbers are gradually decreasing, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the original black fog.
Not to mention covering the entire underground palace, even the original black fog was slowly dissipating.
boom!
A violent explosion suddenly came from the black fog. Through the connection of the Skeleton Summoning Tower, Mo Yu sensed that the skeleton soldiers had encountered a strong enemy.
In the underground palace, the front half is composed of a large number of stone sculptures of mummies, and the back half is composed of a large number of coffins.
Lying in these coffins should be the elite individuals under the command of the tomb owner.
Faced with the relentless advance of the sea of skeletons, they now have no choice but to rise from their coffins.
However, after losing the mummy troops below, it would be difficult for these small number of elite individuals to cause any trouble.
Even though one strike could easily wipe out large groups of skeleton soldiers, the terrifying number of skeletons in the sea of skeletons was enough to make them despair.
"Next, it should be the final BOSS in the pyramid ruins!" Mo Yu touched his chin and thought secretly as he looked at the underground palace that was gradually becoming clearer.
Fortunately, these monsters did not appear at the same time, otherwise he would be blocked at the entrance of the passage.
There is no way, since these monsters are all undead creatures and the commander has a low IQ.
But then again, if they hadn't transformed into undead creatures, they wouldn't have been able to continue existing in the pyramid ruins.
As countless summoned creatures continued to come one after another, the movement in the black fog became quieter and quieter.
Finally, there was no life at all.
After waiting for a while, the black fog that lost the support of the dark mummy gradually dissipated, revealing a devastated underground palace.
The original stone sculptures had all turned into mummies, with broken bandages and corpses all over the floor.
And those neatly arranged coffins were violently overturned by the skeleton soldiers and scattered all over the place, mixed with the gold and silver ornaments on the ground.
The skeleton soldiers who lost their target stood quietly in place, waiting for Mo Yu's new instructions.
On the high platform at the deepest part of the underground palace, there is still one last coffin standing intact.
It is the only one whose coffin has not been opened, and it is also the place where the owner of the tomb lies dead.
Mo Yu did not rush forward. After all, the final BOSS had not appeared yet, so he still had to maintain a safe distance.
After twisting and turning in the pyramid ruins for a long time, now only a few summoning towers with the widest range can cover him with the Son of the Tower's defense BUFF.
As the armor on his body became thinner, Mo Yu naturally became less courageous.
After retreating to the outskirts of the underground palace, he ordered the queen ant and directed several rock ants to go forward and open the coffin.
Compared to the undead, these rock ants are controlled by the queen ant and are more "gentle", so they can avoid destroying the treasures that may be in the coffin.
With the push of the rock ant's front jaws, the coffin lid was slowly opened without much effort.
At the same time, crisp sounds of clicking rang out throughout the underground palace.
Is there an agency?
Mo Yu didn't expect that opening the coffin did not bring out the BOSS, but instead triggered the mechanism in the pyramid ruins again.
Without hesitation, he turned around and tried to retreat.
But at the entrance of the passage, a stone wall had already fallen, blocking the way.
"Corrode it!" Mo Yu ordered immediately.
Although the mechanism has not yet appeared, there is no doubt that this underground palace has now become a dangerous place.
The rock acid ants beside him immediately stepped forward and started working.
The originally thicker bronze gate was corroded, and such a temporary stone wall naturally could not resist the corrosion of the rock formic acid ants.
Under the corrosion of formic acid, the stone wall collapsed rapidly.
At this time, the mechanisms in the underground palace began to show their power.
I saw a large amount of purple-black smoke rising from near the coffin and spreading in all directions.
The flesh and blood of the nearby rock ants quickly rotted the moment they touched it.
Just like when they encountered the curse before, their vitality quickly dimmed and they were corrupted by the curse and turned into mummies.
As the purple-black smoke spread, a large number of summoned creatures were quickly transformed into mummies.
The originally favorable victory situation seemed to begin to change at this moment.
Mo Yu was the first to learn about the changes deep in the underground palace through summoned creatures. His face was calm, and while mobilizing the undead to clean up the mummies, he directed more summoned creatures to take the initiative to meet the enemy.
The undead were not affected by the curse, and they quickly gained the upper hand over these fragile mummies that had just been transformed.
The purpose of mobilizing summoned creatures is to use them to actively consume the power of the purple-black smoke.
The power of these curses comes from the purple-black smoke, and its total amount is limited. As it is constantly consumed by the summoned creatures, its total amount naturally continues to decrease.
Facts have proved that Mo Yu's choice was right.
Under the active consumption of the summoned creatures swarming forward, the spread of the purple-black smoke was immediately curbed.
It can't even spread out, and the moment it appears, it is absorbed by the summoned creatures nearby.
I'm afraid the owner of the tomb didn't expect that the trap he carefully designed would be broken in such a strange way.
As the stone wall blocking the door was broken and reinforcements from summoned creatures arrived, the purple-black smoke was consumed faster.
After more than ten minutes, no more purple-black smoke came out of the coffin.
No more, really not a single drop left.
How much comes out is absorbed.
The summoned creatures were like hungry chicks, scrambling to inhale the curse of the purple-black smoke.
This scene is simply magical.
A row of Fire Demon Wolves stood quietly near the coffin for more than ten minutes. After making sure it was safe, the Rock Ants finally opened the coffin completely.
Bang! The heavy coffin lid hit the ground with a dull sound.
The many summoned creatures surrounding the coffin were facing a formidable enemy, but after waiting for a long time, the scene of the big boss behind the scenes opening the coffin and standing up did not appear.
A few rock ants climbed up and saw that there was only a corpse that had rotted away to the point that only a skeleton was left.
A very pure corpse, the kind that couldn't be deader...
[Reminder: You have cleared the Pyramid Ruins and received a reward of 1 Relic Civilization Treasure Chest! ]
[Attention, the pyramid ruins have been cleared and will be teleported away in thirty minutes! ]
The prompt on the panel appeared and Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
It's over, it's finally over.
