YM778.TV Chapter 60: The Debut of Bomb Ribs Chicken
The vulture skeletons filled the sky, never to return, swooping down like crashing planes to pounce on the Jackalwolves within the city.
Zi Liyuan silently pulled out two sniper rifles, signaling the hellish puppet to sit down, with one rifle on each side of his shoulder, targeting those Jackalwolf Elites on the city walls in conjunction with Spirit targeting.
The “Gunpowder Spirit-Runed Sniper Rifle – Model II (Blue)” had a range of 1200 meters, 1000 physical damage, and with his own attribute bonus, a single shot could shatter around 1200 health points of a rare Jackalwolf warrior.
He didn’t bother with the mini-bosses, just sniped the lesser monsters, specifically targeting those Jackalwolves that had been beaten up by the Vulture
Skeletons.
Basically, 7 to 8 shots were enough to kill a rare Jackalwolf.
Zi Liyuan kept grinding away unhurriedly here, while the Jackalwolves were truly suffering.
Vulture Skeletons constantly dove down to fight above them, and 300 meters away, humans sniped from a distance, making them sitting ducks on the city wall.
Even after smashing countless Vulture Skeletons, their casualties steadily climbed, and that damned Necromancer, from start to finish, never ceased summoning Vulture Skeletons—it was truly an endless stream.
Such large-scale summoning doesn’t drain mana?
This Necromancer, from beginning to end, hadn’t even consumed a single recovery potion, which was simply outrageous!
Unable to stand this slow suicidal torment, the Jackalwolves finally sent out a large group of brave warriors to charge at Zi Liyuan.
Two hundred Jackalwolves charged, howling fiercely, looking ready to tear Zi Liyuan to shreds.
“Yo, finally willing to leave the city, I admire your courage.”
Packing away the sniper rifles, Zi Liyuan directly climbed onto the neck of the hellish puppet, drew his Magic Wand, and started casting spells.
A massive gray-black summoning Array emerged in front of him, with 256 Skeleton Knights making a group appearance once again.
“Little Jackalwolves, dinner time, extra meal, time to gnaw on some ribs-” Compared to the sporadic and disorganized charging Jackalwolf troops, the Skeleton Knights’ movements were remarkably uniform.
With lances level, Skeletal Horses galloping at full speed, row after row, precisely coordinated like a ghastly white torrent, they formed an arrow-head formation and charged at the Jackalwolf troops.
The bone tide crashed into the thick-skinned Jackalwolves, scattering countless bone shards. Beings fell where they met; with Jackalwolves howling, it took only a moment for both sides to be entangled in a brutal fight.
But it was quite apparent that the Skeleton Cavalry Corps were at an absolute disadvantage.
They had only the force of their initial charge, and once in combat, they ended up getting smashed to pieces.
In just a few minutes, 256 Skeleton Knights had turned into a pile of bone fragments on the ground.
But it didn’t matter, Zi Liyuan lacked many things but not cannon fodder ribs; after all, summoning them only cost 30 Spiritual Energy points, and with his 30,000+ Spiritual Energy, it was nothing short of a drizzle.
The consumption was even slower than the natural recovery!
The hellish puppet carried Zi Liyuan, steadily retreating, trying to drag the Jackalwolf troops away from the city wall and then began circling around. The intent was very clear, that was to wear down this squad of Jackalwolves outside the city!
The incessant Skeleton Cavalry Corps started their cannon fodder grand industry: charge, charge, and fearless charge, to death they galloped!
Watching the layers of bone fragments on the ground and the Jackalwolves collapsed atop them, Zi Liyuan fired a deadly Shadow Arrow, ending the life of the last mini-boss Jackalwolf warrior.
“This is no less than a suicide squad, single-mindedly pursuing me with fearless determination, fighting to the death without retreat. I respect that, so the least I can do is take the trouble to collect your remains for you.”
The souls of the skeletons were suppressed, and without spiritual intelligence in Blue Star, they could only execute simple attack commands. The reason the Skeleton Cavalry Corps could maintain their formation and charge was due to Zi Liyuan’s Spirit control.
Unfortunately, I can’t make the skeletons clean up the battlefield and pickup the Jackalwolves’ remains—it’s quite a big task.
Reluctantly cleaning up the battlefield yielded over two hundred pieces of equipment and a heap of materials. Luckily, I have enough space slots and don’t have to worry about where to put them.
Yet compared to the loot from beginner dungeons and First Order dungeons, the equipment dropped by Second Order dungeons was worth less.
If it weren’t for the fact that funds had been tight lately, I wouldn’t have bothered picking up this junk.
That’s right, in Zi Liyuan’s eyes, the rare Jackalwolf gear from the second class transformation is truly trash. They wouldn’t fetch a decent price on the market; if sold outside the dungeon, they would probably be considered wholesale clearance.
However, with the large amount that Li Yuan had, he could always recoup a not-so-small amount of capital—better than nothing.
After wiping out the Jackalwolf suicide squad, Zi Liyuan’s Hell Demon Puppet once again reached three hundred meters outside the city wall. The remaining Skeleton Knights charged again at the wall, doomed to die, followed by swarms of Vulture Skeletons, who kept diving in a relentless death descent.
“If I had known this, I should have contacted Xiao Yurou before entering the dungeon and replenished a batch of ‘Gunpowder Spiritual Energy Bullets.’ Now I only have a few hundred left. Miscalculation.”
Going through the second transformation dungeon, I used up thousands of bullets. Now that my stock is low, but I haven’t been saving them, instead, I’ve been pulling the trigger even more enthusiastically.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Shadow Arrow’s maximum range is only a hundred meters, I couldn’t be bothered to use a high-powered sniper rifle. Convenient as it may be to shoot, loading bullets into the magazine one by one is a hassle. “Miscalculation, I should have asked Xiao Yurou to make a device that automatically loads bullets. Manually pressing bullets takes up too much time.” After emptying another magazine, Li Yuan complained while loading more bullets into the clip, clearly frustrated.
Having sent out one suicide team after me, all to be annihilated, the Jackalwolves no longer sent troops out of the city. They hid behind the city walls, too scared to show their heads.
Even as the Vulture Skeletons dived, they stopped releasing arrows proactively. Instead, they waited for the Vulture Skeletons to land before rushing to fight them, carefully seeking cover to avoid exposing themselves and risking being sniped.
“Damn it, even orcs know how to play safe now. What kind of world is this!” The Jackalwolves avoiding my sniping and slowly wearing down with just the Vulture Skeletons made the killing efficiency extremely low, forcing Zi Liyuan to think of new ways to increase the efficiency of the slaughter.
“Sigh, I was hoping to keep this as a trump card, a little surprise. But I can’t hold onto it now; I’ll have to go back and trouble Xiao Yurou to hastily make another batch.”
After summoning 256 Vulture Skeletons at once, Zi Liyuan didn’t send them away immediately but took out a large amount of bombs the size of a human head.
There were 400 “Timer Detonation Fragmentation Bombs (Silver),” which were recently obtained from Shen Yurou. As a token gesture, he bought her a basic informational book, ‘Gnome Technology: From Beginner to Broke,’ as a reward.
Being kept means having the awareness of being kept. As the saying goes for a working man, there’s the soul of labor, a screw turn for a mental boost.
I provided her with such a promising job, so I ought to get my money’s worth, don’t I?
At that time, a certain capitalist snatched a heap of mechanical goods quite rudely from Xiao Yurou’s hands.
Every Vulture Skeleton held a “Timer Detonation Fragmentation Bomb (Silver)” in its bony claws, flying towards the city above.
The bombing vulture debut sparkled; it was the combination of the Undead Scourge + Mechanical Scourge, appearing over Blue Star for the first time.
