Chapter 406 Abnormal Filth, Depressing Halo, Abundant Harvest!
Fortunately, there was only one lava demon wielding this special weapon.
The other guys working near the volcano were all dressed in armor; they were all lava demon warriors with fangs and spikes, wearing extremely tall hats.
Half of them were wielding two-handed battle axes, which looked very powerful.
The other half is a guy who holds an axe in one hand and a shield in the other, a guy who is balanced in offense and defense.
But the guy who crawled out of the other tent was a bit unusual.
At first glance, they look like giant demon heads with irregularly twisted limbs growing out of them.
Some have three arms, some have four legs, some have both arms on the same side, and some even grow to their backs.
But what they all have in common is that each of them holds a gleaming battle axe.
Their appearance is terrifying, as if they were the work of some mad wizard.
The body is twisted and deformed, with muscles and bones combined in an unnatural way, giving people a strong sense of discomfort.
Some of them even have extra eyes or mouths growing on their bodies, constantly emitting hissing and growling sounds that send chills down your spine.
The reason we say "them" instead of "them" is not only because of their extremely incongruous appearance, but also because of the madness and hatred that fills their eyes.
The moment Ark saw their eyes, he knew they were no longer intelligent lava monsters.
Even though they wield weapons that only intelligent beings would create and use, they are more like wild beasts born solely for killing.
Even the well-traveled Liu Diewu was momentarily stunned.
"A lava demon wielding an enchanted gun, and... that's a mutated filth?"
"A mutated, foul substance transformed from a lava demon?"
Without bothering to inquire about the meaning of this particular term, Fang Zhou quickly asked, "Butterfly Dance, what are their characteristics or weaknesses?"
Liu Diewu quickly gathered her thoughts and replied, "The mutated filth usually don't have any particularly obvious weaknesses."
Their defining characteristic is that they are completely unaffected by morale or psychological attacks, because they have already gone mad.
Once they engage in battle, they either wipe out the enemy or are wiped out by the enemy.
Therefore, ordinary troops would feel some fear when facing them.
As she spoke, Liu Diewu frowned slightly.
Even ordinary abyssal demons, when faced with powerful enemies or after bleeding and being injured, know to retreat, and even feel fear.
Regardless of their original race, the moment the mutated filth becomes mutated filth, they have completely lost all fear.
They will relentlessly pursue their enemies like mad dogs.
Such an enemy actually poses a considerable threat to her, as she is a fragile mage.
Fangzhou also frowned.
Fight to the death without retreating, plus a fear-spreading effect similar to a terror aura?
Indeed, these things are terrifying just to look at, let alone fight them.
In addition, they have an average of three or four arms, so even if their attack speed isn't fast, their attack frequency is definitely not low.
The only consolation was that none of them wore any armor or carried any shields.
For skeleton archers, they should be considered good targets.
At this moment, Ye Yinzhu also searched for information on the mutated filth in his personal terminal and frowned, saying, "Based on their original strength, their strength after becoming mutated filth is also somewhat different."
But these mutated filth before us, like those lava demon warriors, are all of lower-tier Black Iron strength.
The members of the Thunderfire Squad couldn't help but grit their teeth.
There were over thirty low-ranking Black Iron Lava Demons and Aberrant Filth, plus that guy with the enchanted gun.
This is not a task that a single 10-person team can accomplish at this stage.
After all, the Lava Demons are a Black Iron-level race similar to Horned Demons and Dog Demons, and their racial combat power coefficient is much stronger than that of apprentice races like the Fire Demons and Lesser Demons.
Let alone attacking the enemy's heavily armed camp now, even in a direct confrontation in the open field, the Thunderfire Squad would likely have to pay a heavy price to have any chance of successfully evacuating.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat heavy.
Just then, Liu Diewu suddenly said with a hint of joy, "Fangzhou, I've remembered the weakness of the mutated filth."
Since they were transformed from demons, they can't possibly be fast!
The members of the Thunderfire Squad immediately perked up.
Yes, that's right. No matter how much they are affected by evil forces, they are still the short legs of the demons.
Moreover, she is much more bloated than before, and her body proportions are very unbalanced.
Their speed will be their biggest weakness!
In this way, even if they fail to achieve victory, they can escape at will and summon more reinforcements.
However, unlike the members of the Thunderfire Squad who were already considering leaving, Ark remained calm and began to command the undead creatures under his command.
As bursts of black light appeared, Olaf, along with 10 skeletal lieutenants, led hundreds of undead creatures in an orderly formation to meet the attack.
Under his command, these undead creatures quickly formed a tight formation.
The skeleton archers are in the back row, ready to fire from a distance.
Skeleton warriors and zombies are positioned in the back row, ready to charge at any moment.
Just then, the lava demon wielding the enchanted gun had already assembled his troops.
He stood at the very front of the line, his eyes flashing with a crazed light, a ferocious smile on his lips.
First, a precise burst of fire released a bullet glowing red, easily taking down an unfortunate skeleton warrior.
The bullet pierced the skull of the skeleton warrior, knocking him to the ground and turning him into a pile of scattered bones.
The lava demon leader let out a hearty laugh: "Hahaha, humans and a bunch of skeletons?"
How dare you weaklings disturb the master's ceremony?
Then let's pay the price in blood!
All the mages present had learned the common skill of language proficiency, so they could all understand the clamor of the lava demon leader.
However, once they entered combat mode, these well-trained cadets from the Haicheng Military Academy naturally would not be easily distracted by the enemy's provocations.
With a roar from the Lava Demon, more than a dozen mutated filth rushed out of the camp.
They used both hands and feet, their faces filled with fervor, as if driven by some irresistible force.
Fangzhou immediately realized that their status among the Lava Demons was perhaps not much different from that of hunting dogs among humans.
Liu Diewu was right. Although these mutated filths look terrifying, they are clumsy and slow.
It's barely faster than the zombies summoned by the Ark.
Behind these grotesque creatures followed fewer than twenty well-equipped lava demon warriors.
They formed a small square and marched forward in neat steps.
Despite their total numbers being less than half of the undead army, the monsters surprisingly launched an attack.
Ye Yinzhu couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, who do they think they are?"
Then he turned to the members of the Thunderfire Squad and directed them to prepare for battle according to their assigned roles.
Fang Zhou then waved to Gu Yueyuan, Liu Diewu, and the others, signaling that they could begin their attack.
At this distance, ordinary long-range attack spells are not yet at their optimal casting range, but some buff spells can already be cast.
Now that Olaf and the Skeleton Commander are helping Ark command the undead creatures below, Ark can unleash its full power to cast spells.
He picked up the necromancer orb in his hand, gently gathered his strength, and a bone-piercing spear shot out and killed the fastest-rushing aberrant creature.
The spear pierced the chest of the mutated creature, pinning it to the ground, blood splattering everywhere, the corpse twisted into a heap.
Ye Yinzhu was overjoyed upon seeing this.
Although the enemy is very strong, it makes no difference in the hands of the Ark's top players.
If they are hit, they will all die!
But he had no time to flatter Ark, because the enemy was getting closer and closer, and he had to take action.
Fangzhou's move also seemed to greatly boost the morale of the Thunderfire Squad members.
The members of the Thunderfire Squad gripped their weapons tightly, their muscles tense with tension, looking ready to pounce.
Ye Yinzhu encouraged his team members, saying, "Although that leader looks pretty fierce, I just observed his movements carefully, especially the way he changed bullets."
His loading speed is his biggest weakness!
"If he can fire three shots in a minute, I'd consider him amazing!"
Because the distance wasn't close, Ye Yinzhu couldn't see the specific situation clearly for a while.
But just by looking at the other party's movements from shooting to clearing and then reloading, he knew that although the enchanted gun looked impressive, its biggest problem was its reload speed!
As soon as Ye Yinzhu finished speaking, Fang Zhou gently shook his head.
"Ye Yinzhu, we cannot let our guard down."
What worries me more is the "master" he mentioned.
The Lava Demons are an extremely evil race; they are skilled at capturing and studying demons.
The one who can make them willingly call him master must be an extraordinary and powerful being.
Moreover, the camp was so rudimentary that it had almost no defensive measures other than two dilapidated tents.
Where will his master be hiding?
No, wait, there's another possibility...
Fangzhou's gaze slowly shifted to the erupting volcano not far away, its raging flames illuminating half the sky.
"Could it be that his master is hiding inside that volcano?"
Even after Fangzhou pointed out the key points, Ye Yinzhu still had reservations.
However, after a brief exchange, he resolutely led his troops to charge up from the flank, ready to advance towards the camp at any moment.
After all, how can you know what kind of hidden tricks the enemy has up their sleeve if you don't try it yourself?
However, the lava demon in the camp who was wielding an enchanted gun seemed to have figured out his meaning as well.
So after the two shots rang out, Ye Yinzhu was not seriously injured, but the zombies that Ark had assigned to him to act as meat shields suffered severe damage.
Just as Ye Yinzhu had guessed, the enchanted gun wielded by the lava demon was not fast.
However, this does not mean it is without threat.
Each time the crimson bullet whistled from the barrel and struck a skeleton warrior's vital parts, it caused fatal damage, enough to destroy their ability to move.
If a bullet hits a zombie's soul fire, it will put these undead creatures in mortal danger.
Even more worrying is that this weapon has an extremely long range, which, although not as long as the Ark's ranged magical attacks, exceeds the range of the Skeleton Archers.
The deterrent power behind this is chilling.
No one can predict whether he will suddenly use a skill to fire several shots in quick succession and kill someone instantly.
To ensure absolute safety, the four members of the Scourge Squad and the ranged attackers of the Thunderfire Squad stood firmly behind the undead army.
Use skeleton warriors and zombies as a barrier to avoid direct exposure to enemy fire.
The combatants in the Thunderfire Squad mingled among the silently charging undead army, constantly seeking cover and avoiding the enemy's terrifying fire.
Fangzhou himself was extremely busy.
Although the undead creatures were temporarily under the command of Olaf and the skeletal officer, the enemy's offensive was exceptionally fierce, and the Ark could not stand idly by.
He continuously cast auxiliary spells on the undead army to enhance their combat power and ensure they could effectively resist enemy attacks.
Meanwhile, after enduring a barrage of arrows and losing more than half of their companions, the mutated creatures were finally able to engage in close combat with the first layer of melee forces deployed by the Ark.
When these ferocious monsters rushed to the front line, Ark immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At the forefront of his undead army was a defensive line composed of thick-skinned zombies.
The skeleton warriors wielding skeletal spears, capable of forming a counter-charge formation, form the second line of defense.
On either side of the frontal defense line stood skeleton warriors equipped with greatswords and giant axes, responsible for the flank defense.
As the mutated filth charged forward, its initially unstoppable momentum came to an abrupt halt upon encountering the defensive line formed by the zombies and spear-wielding skeleton warriors.
The zombies were as solid as rocks, blocking most of the impact.
The skeletal spears were as dense as a forest, piercing the bodies of one grotesque creature after another.
The greatsword skeleton warriors and giant axe skeleton warriors on both sides also quickly joined the battle.
Their weapons drew sharp arcs in the air, cutting down enemies who tried to bypass the frontal defenses one by one.
The mutated filth exuded a blasphemous aura that was both repulsive and terrifying.
For living beings, this aura can involuntarily trigger inner fear and even lead to a collapse in morale.
However, for the skeleton warriors and zombies, this terrifying aura of the mutated filth was completely ineffective against them.
These undead creatures have long lost their emotions; their will is unbreakable and cannot be swayed by any form of fear.
