There are a large number of powerful monsters in the plague ruins, which Zhang Xiaoman has known for a long time.
But I'm afraid no one would have thought that the monsters in this ruins would be so terrifying, and that there would be so many control-level beings hidden in the mysterious palace in this swamp.
Normally on an ordinary training planet, a control-level Dark Spirit user can be considered a strong person and is respected by all parties, just like he was on the Skull Planet where Zhang Xiaoman was previously.
But looking here, hundreds of control-level monsters are like groups of soldiers, forming a neat queue here. They have some mysterious connection with each other, and it can be seen that they seem to have formed a kind of... The strange formation and the terrifying pressure emitted by so many people just standing here can make those who lack strength directly lose the courage to fight.
Zhang Xiaoman's nerves were tense at the moment, and he stared unblinkingly at the group of black-armored soldiers in front of him.
The average strength of these monsters is at the mid-level control level, and more than thirty monsters have reached the upper-level control level. Three of them are similar to Lan Gu and are at the peak of the upper-level control level.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaoman knew that he might not have a chance today, even though he could temporarily improve various attributes through his star pattern talent, making his physique go straight to the truly extraordinary level.
But what he knows is that he is not a true extraordinary level, and his lack of knowledge of the divine realm is his biggest shortcoming. No matter how strong his physique is, it is useless unless he can truly crush him, but he is obviously not good enough now.
With so many control-level beings, their overall strength is even stronger than the elites from the Lan family this time.
You must know that the people brought here by the Lan family this time are all carefully selected from within the clan. They are a huge family with resources in an entire super galaxy, and they have the strength to compete for the position of the Great Elder of the Dark Star Alliance. The power of princes.
For such a powerful prince, he could only recruit more than a hundred elites, and his average strength was only at the low-level control level, which was not as good as these black-armored monsters in front of him.
"Plague Legion, it seems these guys have more secrets than imagined."
Zhang Xiaoman has secretly retreated. Now that he has blessed himself with natural abilities, although he can't defeat these monsters, he can still escape if he wants to. If things don't work out, he still has the Pole Star Ring in the future, and there are unlimited possibilities. With teleportation as a base, it would be impossible for these monsters to keep him.
It's a pity that the demons are a very special race. They do not belong to conventional life forms, so Zhang Xiaoman's life stripping cannot be used on them.
He felt that if the monsters in front of him were not demons, he might still be able to deal with them.
But the opponent is a demon, and his star pattern talent has no effect on them, and high-level demons are not afraid of ordinary holy water. Unless he can find a large amount of purple-level holy water, he can hope to catch them all.
"Woooooo~"
At this time, the leader of the group of monsters, a peak control leader, suddenly blew a horn. All the black-armored monsters reacted at the same time. Their eyes turned red and they raised the spears in their hands. , all stabbed in the direction of Zhang Xiaoman.
"So fast!"
Zhang Xiaoman's childish hole suddenly shrunk, and those spears came towards him like falling stars. The speed of those monsters seemed to have become much faster with the blessing of the formation and the horn. Even if he had blessed quick reactions and speed, He could only barely escape.
"boom!"
There was a blast, and Zhang Xiaoman failed to dodge in time and was hit by a spear. The tip of the spear contained a destructive energy, which was injected into his Xingyao Armor.
This is the action of the peak control-level beings among the black-armored monsters. Their speed has also been significantly improved with the support of formations and horns. They can sneak attack while other monsters are attacking, making it very difficult to dodge.
Ordinary attacks cannot break through the defense of the Xingyao Battle Armor, but this monster obviously used some unknown method to penetrate the powerful spiritual power into the interior of the battle armor, blasting it from the inside, and instantly destroyed the Xingyao Battle Armor. A made a small gap.
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly looked serious.
This was a bit tricky. He originally thought that he might be able to use his speed advantage to get rid of these monsters and rush into the palace to see what was going on there. If he can find out how to use the Realm of God, and if he is lucky enough, he can also find a hidden place to set up a Star Alliance beacon, so that he can leave at any time and come back at any time, this palace will be truly It became his private property.
It's just that this idea seems a bit difficult to realize. Other monsters are fine, but the three leader-level black-armored monsters make him very afraid. Although Zhang Xiaoman is confident in his own strength, but in such a pair It would be really difficult to face three peak control-level demons at the same time.
However, Zhang Xiaoman did not intend to give up directly, he wanted to give it a try.
The dark spiritual power in his body was operating in all directions, and seven small swords circled and landed beside him. Then a golden light lit up from his body, and Zhang Xiaoman directly turned on the one-minute Golden Man mode.
When the Little Golden Man is opened, he becomes invincible and free of control, and his attributes have once again increased in all directions. This gives Zhang Xiaoman the opportunity to successfully break through to the interior of the palace when faced with being surrounded by hundreds of black-armored monsters.
Those monsters seemed to have sensed the change in their opponent's momentum, and each one of them vigilantly transformed into a defensive formation.
Zhang Xiaoman moved, and the moment he moved, the swamp under his feet was bombarded with a huge whirlpool, making a loud noise like thunder.
His whole body turned into a golden light and rushed towards the palace in the distance, while the monsters intercepted them one by one like crazy.
Their spears turned into swift lightning attacks and attacked Zhang Xiaoman's body, but the latter had no intention of dodging, and instead leapt forward to withstand their attacks.
"Plague Guards! Stop him!"
The leader of the black-armored monster roared loudly. He used the language of the demon clan, but Zhang Xiaoman had the ability to know everything, so he could understand the meaning.
However, no matter how hard those monsters attacked, their spears were still unable to harm Zhang Xiaoman at all, and they could only watch helplessly as he approached the palace.
In just over ten seconds, Zhang Xiaoman rushed nearly one-third of the way under the interception of a circle of monsters. If he persisted at this efficiency, he felt that he should have a good chance of rushing into the palace.
The monsters seemed to realize that this was not the way to go, so they simply changed their defensive strategy. They no longer used long-distance attacks with spears, but used their own bodies to block. With the blessing of the formation method, they blocked Zhang Xiaoman like an iron wall. in front of you.
It has to be said that the monsters' method is effective. Although Zhang Xiaoman can be immune to control, he cannot ignore the size of the object. This group of monsters has blocked his path, making it impossible for him to sprint unscrupulously.
"Why do these guys feel so much harder than at the beginning?"
Zhang Xiaoman held the Purple Sky Divine Sword and struck a black-armored monster blocking the road. However, the effect was not as significant as it was at the beginning. It only made a shallow scratch on the opponent's chest. It's just a mark, but the latter can still stand in front of him vigorously.
"The formation they combined is very powerful. It seems to be able to share my damage."
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at the other black-armored monsters and found that they also had this kind of scratch on their chests. He immediately understood what was going on.
His own Purple Sky Divine Sword is certainly powerful, and if he attacks one of the monsters alone, he will definitely be able to cause huge damage.
But if these monsters share this damage, with such a large number of plague guards, the damage spread out will be pitifully small, leaving only a shallow trace.
One minute passed quickly. Zhang Xiaoman failed to successfully break through the siege of the monsters and was blocked at one-third of the way. These monsters used their bodies as roadblocks, coupled with their ability to share damage, It left him with no way to move on.
As a last resort, Zhang Xiaoman could only activate infinite teleportation and leave here as soon as the golden body ended.
In the Wildfire Tavern on the Irene continent, this is a private room that Zhang Xiaoman set up for himself, with his Star Alliance sign in it.
Returning from the plague ruins, Zhang Xiaoman quickly extinguished the few small flames that were still burning on his body, and then removed the Star Glory Armor with a thought.
"These black-armored monsters are really difficult to deal with, and the effect of that formation is really strong. With the ability to share the damage, it will be difficult for me to defeat them one by one, unless I use a large-scale destructive skill..."
Zhang Xiaoman felt a little depressed. He looked at the Xingyao Armor in his hand. He had just come back a second or two late, but he had been attacked thousands of times, especially those three guys at the peak control level. , which directly damaged several big holes in his armor.
"It seems that I have to think of a better way. It seems a bit difficult to go in directly. I'll see if I can sneak in next time..."
As he spoke, he put the Star Glory Armor into the storage space, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
The materials required for this suit of armor are not easy to obtain. Now that it is so badly damaged, it will definitely take a lot of effort to repair it.
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while, and planned to go back to Aquamarine Star first. On the one hand, he wanted to find Ao Lei to repair the Star Glory Armor, and on the other hand, he wanted to make some preparations for the next action. He now has a very I have a strong premonition that the palace I just saw must contain great secrets. Maybe it is the treasure trove of the God of Plague. It is not certain. I have a high probability of finding the skills I want in it. .
…
On the other side, there is the plague ruins and the Orihast Mine.
The Lan family's mining team has been mining this vein for nearly a month. A large amount of Olhast ore was mined and then loaded into transport carriages.
When they arrived, the destroyer had already been deployed as a collection base, and these transport carriages were formed by reassembling the destroyer.
This also means that after this mining operation is over, these people will not be able to return directly on the destroyer, but will need to escort the ore all the way back to the entrance. This journey will be very dangerous, in addition to dealing with those who In addition to the monsters lurking in the ruins, we also have to guard against sneak attacks from other families. It is obviously impossible to easily take the resources out.
In the No. 3 mining area of Olhast Mine, a middle-aged man with a beard is holding a mining tool and constantly cutting the ore layer in front of him.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak~"
The cutting edge of the miner touches the surface of the ore layer, cutting the rock easily. The broken stone chips are absorbed by the miner before they can splash, and are compressed into the internal impurity box.
After the middle-aged man with a beard waved the mining tool several times in succession, he finally cut off a piece of earth and rock the size of a basketball. What was wrapped in it was their collection target this time, Olhast Rock.
"Onorato, how's your mining going? Have you accomplished today's goal? Why are you resting every time I see you! You've only been out for less than three hours, and you're already out of your body's load period. It should still be a while, why did it stop so soon?”
At this moment, a hoarse voice came from behind, followed by a man also wearing heavy armor walking over.
"Foreman, please don't accuse me wrongly. Look what this is!"
The bearded man turned sideways unhappily, allowing the visitor to see the basketball-sized stone at his feet.
"Oh? Such a big piece of rough stone?"
The foreman walked over in three or two steps, picked up the rocks on the ground through the armor's arm guards, and squeezed them hard. The layers of ordinary rocks were crushed and scattered from them, revealing the layers of rocks inside. Olehast Rock.
"Haha, it is indeed a whole piece of rough stone. You are lucky, Honorato. Come on, I blamed you wrongly this time!"
The foreman readily admitted his mistake, slapped the bearded man on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.
"Okay, with such a big piece of rough stone here, your mission for today is completed. If you don't want to stay in the mining area anymore, you can go back first, have a good rest, and continue tomorrow!"
The foreman seemed to be a very reasonable man, and it was time for the bearded man to take a break.
Bearded man's heart was obviously moved, but after hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head, gave up this tempting idea, and planned to stay and mine some more.
