Chapter 673: Something's Wrong with This Skeleton Soldier!
"The Demon Calamity of Death, known as the catastrophe that ancient human clans couldn't resist! Infinite in number, endlessly growing stronger... Every human facing the Demon Calamity of Death will only reveal despair and fear!" Mu Xueying gazed quietly at the five floating vortexes in the void and whispered softly.
"So, He Yiming, your disciples, how will they react?" Mu Xueying's gaze shifted, looking at the players arranged in five large formations around the refuge, preparing for battle.
"Hahaha, my great sword is itching for action! Who needs a commander? I'll be the first to charge in and slash!"
"Exactly, Wulong Bro is right. He finally understands that in the third test, us demon players are the strongest! Clearly, we demon players are the main force in this battle!"
"Monsters are about to spawn. Brothers, get ready to grind!"
"Right, Wulong Bro is underestimating me. Rest? What's that? Am I a weakling? I can grind for 99 hours straight without logging off, okay? Don't mention taking a break, I can even go without resting for a minute!"
"Can we skip this CG cutscene? I'm in a hurry to fight monsters! Why is the spawn of the Heavenly Dao's Five Calamities so slow?"
"I hope I can reach 36 lines of demonic runes on the first day. Then I can help Not-So-Naughty Bro again... Hehehe..."
...
Within the five formations, over five thousand demon players, as well as six hundred alpha and beta testers, were excitedly discussing.
"Hmm?" Mu Xueying was taken aback. Weren't these disciples of He Yiming afraid at all? Why were they getting more excited?
At the same time, the ripples emitted by the five vortexes finally transformed into countless figures!
"They're coming!"
"Monsters are spawning!"
"Everyone, get ready for battle!"
...
All the players rejoiced together, each filled with excitement.
"!" However, what surprised all the players was that these countless figures...
Were all skeletons!
The first to appear were densely packed white skeleton soldiers, each wielding bone swords, bone spears, and other weapons. Their sizes varied greatly, ranging from two to three meters tall to seven or eight meters or even more!
But what was most terrifying...
Was the sheer number of these skeleton soldiers!
The first wave exceeded a billion!
"These skeletons, judging from their size and structure, they might be ancient beings who died in the past...!"
"The Demon Calamity of Death is so ruthless!"
"Don't panic, they're just skeleton soldiers!"
...
Many players recognized the origin of these skeleton soldiers, but they remained unfazed.
Perhaps the ancient beings were unable to resist due to reverence and guilt towards their ancestors, or perhaps due to their fear of skeletons.
But players wouldn't be like that!
In this day and age, which player hadn't mowed down millions of skeleton soldiers?
"Brothers, charge!"
"All the kills are mine!"
"Nonsense, they're all mine!"
...
Without hesitation, the demon players charged forward, all five thousand of them.
"Splurt!" Upon witnessing this scene, Zhu Wulong was so shocked that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The fear dominated by the humiliating defeat at the hands of the third test's human players resurfaced in Zhu Wulong's mind at this moment.
"Get back here! Follow the tactical arrangement, rotate in and out for combat! What's the rush?" Zhu Wulong quickly gave the order.
With the persuasion of the commanders in the five formations, the second team of nearly three thousand players reluctantly withdrew.
"Kill!!!"
"Take my strongest strike!"
"Hahaha, these skeleton soldiers are so weak!"
...
The players in the first column of demon players charged confidently, easily sweeping away a large area. One strike could clear out a whole group of enemies.
The strength of these skeleton soldiers varied greatly; the strongest among them were at the Ocean Vortex Realm, while the weakest were only at the Spirit Vein Realm.
Soon, names of demon players appeared on the Ancient Reverse Heaven Stele. Each player's name was accompanied by a number.
In a short span of time...
More than a hundred million skeleton soldiers were wiped out.
"Hahaha, the Demon Calamity of Death was hyped up for this?!"
"Exactly, is this it? Is this the first wave of attack?"
"I haven't even warmed up yet, and it's already over?"
...
The demon players were all in high spirits, proud of their accomplishments.
However, soon after, the five vortexes formed by the Heavenly Dao's Five Calamities emitted another round of ripples.
"The second wave is coming!"
"Hahaha, I guess this wave might be made up of the bones of demon beasts!"
"Maybe a bone dragon will appear!"
...
The demon players became excited once again, looking towards the source of the ripples.
However...
"What the heck!"
"What the...?"
"The design team is playing tricks on us!"
...
Upon seeing the second wave of enemies, all the players were left speechless.
The second wave also consisted of skeleton soldiers!
But this time...
They had turned red! Their strength had significantly increased! The weakest among them had reached the Peak Foundation Building Realm, while the strongest were even at the Peak Ocean Vortex Realm!
Nevertheless, these red skeleton soldiers were quickly wiped out by the demon players with ease.
However, just as the third wave of skeleton soldiers appeared, many demon players tilted their heads.
"What the hell? Are you kidding me?"
This time, the third wave of skeleton soldiers had turned green, indicating yet another increase in their strength!
"I guess the next wave will be black!"
"And the one after that will be golden!"
"And the one after that will be rainbow-colored!"
...
The demon players began to make fun of the situation.
Subsequently, the demon players skillfully and naturally took action once more, easily annihilating the green skeleton soldiers.
However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred!
"Die!" A demon player with twenty-seven lines of demonic runes casually punched and shattered thousands of green skeleton soldiers!
However, amidst the dust and smoke, one green skeleton soldier suddenly flashed and charged directly towards this unsuspecting demon player with twenty-seven lines of demonic runes.
"Splurt!!!" The demon player with twenty-seven lines of demonic runes was punched in the abdomen by the green skeleton soldier and was instantly blasted with a hole in his body. He was sent flying hundreds of meters away.
"Ha!" The demon player with twenty-seven lines of demonic runes was dumbstruck.
What was going on?
Why did this green skeleton soldier suddenly become so fierce?
"Ah!"
"What's happening? There's something off about this skeleton soldier!"
"Damn, why is this skeleton soldier so powerful!"
...
Soon, many demon players were vomiting blood, with almost half of them directly injured on the ground.
The attackers were none other than figures that looked identical to the weaker green skeleton soldiers.
These special green skeleton soldiers, both in appearance and aura, were identical to the weak green skeleton soldiers that had been swept away in masses.
However...
The true strength of these special green skeleton soldiers exceeded that of ordinary fifth-order demon soldiers. They could easily injure players like the demon player with twenty-seven lines of demonic runes, who possessed the Inferno True Devil Body. Their true strength
was likely approaching that of a demon player with thirty lines of demonic runes.
"What the hell! They've appeared!" Zhu Wulong abruptly stood up, his expression darkening.
Indeed, this Demon Calamity of Death wasn't simple!
By deliberately using three waves of differently colored skeleton soldiers to deceive the players, they had created an illusion that allowed a small number of extremely powerful special skeleton soldiers to launch a surprise attack when players let their guard down, injuring half of the demon players.
Cunning!
This was truly cunning!
