BXBX NOVEL Chapter 80: Finding Xiao Yurou
The only way for others to surpass him now was to defeat him and snatch his points!
However, among these candidates with a maximum level of 40 at the first tier, how many could actually manage to take points from him?
After leaving the central area, Zi Liyuan immediately summoned his massive Vulture Skeleton team.
For him, finding someone in the replica was not at all difficult, as he could share the vision of the Skeletons, enjoying an extraordinarily wide reconnaissance range.
The only thing that annoyed him was that there were also monsters in the sky leading to instances where a Vulture Skeleton would be dismantled into a pile ’ of bones, raining down onto the earth, forcing him to keep an eye on their numbers and replenish them in a timely manner.
Luckily, riding Lao Tie, he could rampage freely, directly smashing through any minor monsters in his path. If he encountered a boss, a simple cast of Bone Spear or Shadow Arrow would handle it.
After leaving the central area and its boss’s territory, the bosses he encountered along the way were basically not of hero level. Facing rare first-tier bosses, he was simply bullying the weak, dispatching them easily without even needing Lao Tie to lend a paw.
The search for Shen Yurou was quick, but the decaying city was simply too vast; it was only by the onset of the second stage that he found her.
The once high-spirited her was in quite a sorry state, being chased by hundreds of candidates!
Moreover, she had been encircled, trapped in a building, like a turtle in a jar. However, she hadn’t given up her attempts to struggle, but instead matched wits and courage with the candidates. She turned the various bombs into ingenious mines, and with the terrifying lethality of firearms, the opponents could only slowly encroach upon her living space by relying on the warriors who held the shields, advancing slowly.
From several hundred meters away, Zi Liyuan’s face showed admiration for Shen Yurou’s tactical thinking. She had never been baptized by Earth’s military doctrines, yet she had comprehended so many combat methods involving firearms used on Earth on her own.
She truly lived up to being a super scholar, with an incredibly flexible mind, and her combat talent wasn’ t lacking at all!
Through the three-dimensional image generated by the Eye of Death, Zi Liyuan clearly saw Shen Yurou relying on the mines she had set in advance to successfully blast a gap in the encirclement and break out from the crowd, continuing to fight against her pursuers within the building.
Agile in movement, full of trickery, ruthless in her methods, and never soft-hearted, this favored child of the heavens had completed her transformation in just a short period of time.
But now, of course, it was time for the hero to save the beauty!
After observing Shen Yurou’s situation for a while, Zi Liyuan gave a grand wave of his hand, and the Skeleton Cavalry Corps made a brilliant appearance, launching a Death Charge at the candidates blocking the building’s exterior at the first opportunity!
Those who dared to lay hands on his people would have to bear the wrath of the Lord of the Undead!
Controlling Lao Tie, he followed closely behind the Skeleton Knights. As they got near the building, Zi Liyuan waved his hand once more to summon another army. This time, it was the Voodoo Skeletons he had abandoned a while ago. [Voodoo Skeleton Level 9]: Magic Damage 160, Physical Resistance 52, Health 660, Skills: Shadow Arrow, Hex ■ Poison Fog
Nearly a hundred Level 9 Voodoo Skeletons released Hex ? Poison Fog simultaneously, instantly shrouding the entire ground floor of the building in a veil of poison.
The candidates were first rammed by the massive Skeleton Cavalry Corps, forced into the first floor of the building, where what awaited them was poison fog that had spread throughout the entire level!
This not only reduced their visibility to within a ten-meter radius but also exposed them to the constant erosion of the poison fog, incessantly draining their health.
The Skeleton Army ruthlessly plowed ahead, completely unaffected by the poison fog, continuously squeezing the space of these examinees and forcing them towards the higher floors.
As for those trying to break through the poison fog and rush out of the building, Zi Liyuan was not the least bit tender-hearted, gifting them with a few Bone Spears.
Although this thing had very low base damage and not high magic damage bonuses, at Level 9, it wasn’t lacking in quantity. A single spell cast could release 9 Bone Spears, covering a small area. Moreover, this skill had no cooldown time, so as long as you had enough Spiritual Energy, you could use it extravagantly.
A Level 9 Bone Spear, with base magic damage plus magic damage bonuses, could deal 1300+ damage per spear. For these Level 25-30 examinees, that was not something they could easily withstand.
And then there was a large group of Voodoo Skeletons waiting outside, rubbing balls of dark energy in their skeletal hands, launching Shadow Arrows. With the enormous number of Voodoo Skeletons, it was as dense as a torrential rain.
Those who tried to rush out of the poison fog and thus flee the building were all kicked out of the martial arts exam replication, prematurely ending their journey of the college entrance examination.
Slaughter all the way up, by the time Zi Liyuan walked up to the second floor with the hellish puppet, the Skeleton Cavalry Corps had already been disbanded and sent back to the Netherworld, and once again, he summoned the Voodoo Skeletons.
More than three hundred Voodoo Skeletons truly brought the poison fog wherever they went. The entire building was enveloped by the fog with no dead angles, inching both the hiding examinees and the lurking monsters closer to death.
It wasn’t until Zi Liyuan stepped onto the top floor of the building that the Voodoo Skeletons stopped their spellcasting.
This floor was very spacious, as if it had been intentionally cleared of everything inside.
Shen Yurou had taken up a corner, where she had laid out a bunch of bombs, and she herself was hiding behind a column, in a standoff with those who were trying to kill her.
On the other side, there were more than four hundred people, all now ashen-faced and extremely unsightly, warily watching Shen Yurou’s side while also nervously eyeing the giant steel puppet and Zi Liyuan who had walked up from the staircase.
“Sir, why do you attack us? We haven’t offended you, have we?”
The leader, a Level 36 assassin with half his face hidden behind a black scarf, was currently furrowing his brow, asking respectfully but with a hint of tension.
However, Zi Liyuan didn’t bother with them, instead looking at Shen Yurou, who appeared somewhat disheveled.
The last time he had seen her in such a sorry state, well, it was the previous time.
Ah, that was when she crafted a green firearm and was eager to sell it off. “Xiao Yurou, how’s your life in the ten-day copy? Feeling any pressure?” “Hmph, you, always avoiding showing up early or late, only come to help when I’m in dire straits. You’re going to end up with no friends if you keep this up!” Shen Yurou wasn’t foolish. She had been skirmishing with her assailants for so long while also scouting her surroundings, and had long noticed the Vulture Skeletons flying in the sky. How could she not realize that Zi Liyuan was nearby?
She had originally thought he would immediately come to her aid, but after waiting left and right, it was only when she was pushed into an embarrassing plight that this jerk finally made a grand entrance with the Skeleton Army. The concept of a hero saving the beauty was very appealing, but knowing in advance what was happening, the person involved couldn’t help feeling vexed! Zi Liyuan was clearly just doing this to annoy her!
