Chapter 17: The First Wave of Attacks Ends (Seeking Follows!)

Swish swish swish!

The black specter boss’s spear precisely struck the three skeletons in front.

Under the attack of his spear, the three skeletons were instantly shattered into pieces.

“Encircle him.”

Seeing this, Gu Xi decisively commanded.

He knew that if this specter boss wasn’t dealt with first, the following battles wouldn’t be so easy.

So, while ordering his subordinates to attack, he threw two daggers at the specter boss.

Although the specter boss was stronger than the regular specters, its fighting style was the same—it didn’t dodge attacks, instead relying on its body to take hits directly.

The two daggers successfully pierced into the specter boss’s body, interrupting its next attack.

At this time, the skeletons of Combat Squad 4 quickly stepped forward, using their shields to block the specter boss’s movement.

Then, the skeletons of Combat Squad 2 also rushed out, holding their double-handed swords high, forcefully thrusting them into the specter boss’s body.

But the specter boss’s level exceeded the normal level of a specter.

The skeletons’ attacks, mostly dealing 1 or 2 points of damage, couldn’t inflict much harm on the specter boss.

Instead, it gave the specter boss an opportunity to attack. It spread its arms, the spear-forming arms automatically separating into sword-like appendages. With a spin, it swung its double-handed swords, cutting down the skeletons that had charged forward.

Three skeletons blocking the specter boss were instantly killed.

At this moment, Gu Xi shouted.

“Raise shields!”

Upon hearing this, the skeletons blocking the specter boss quickly raised their shields, crouching down.

Then Gu Xi pointed at the slain skeleton.

“Secondary Corpse Explosion!”

A falling skeleton corpse exploded on the spot.

Since this skeleton had initially been blocking the specter boss, as it fell, it also happened to collide with the specter boss.

When the corpse explosion occurred, the specter boss directly received the full effect.

Boom!

The specter boss’s body was blown away.

“Attack!”

Gu Xi decisively commanded.

Combat Squad 2’s skeletons quickly stepped forward, swinging their swords at the specter boss.

Unlike the other skeletons, all their stats were focused on their swords; their double-handed swords had even stronger attack power than Combat Squad 3’s spears.

This time, they attacked decisively, raising their double-handed swords and hacking wildly at the specter boss.

The specter boss was already severely injured, and now, with so many swords attacking, it couldn’t even dodge in time. Rolling on the ground once was its final act of defiance.

As Combat Squad 2 raised their swords a second time, Gu Xi heard a prompt.

[Skeleton (Summon) killed Specter Boss (Level 3, Elite), you gain 1 + 63 experience (damage experience bonus), each attacking squad gains 1 experience, and each participating summon gains 5 experience.]

“Killed it.”

Seeing the prompt, Gu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Gu Xi noticed that at the spot where the specter boss had died, besides a large amount of ghost energy orbs, there was a spear composed of many arms.

Is this loot?

Gu Xi didn’t waste any time, pointing forward.

“Kill all remaining specters.”

At the same time, he rushed into the battlefield himself, preparing to examine the spear.

Although he wasn’t very skilled with spears, this spear was surely an attribute equipment; even if he just held it to enhance his stats, it would be better than his currently useless scimitar.

Meanwhile, the battle between the specters and skeletons intensified.

These specters were unaffected by morale; even after their boss died, they showed no sign of retreating.

Instead, because Gu Xi had deployed all his skeletons, the battle had turned into a chaotic melee.

In the chaos, Gu Xi reached the spear and picked it up, a nearly three-meter-long weapon.

[Ding, you obtained Hundred-Bladed Ghost Arm (Green).]

[Hundred-Bladed Ghost Arm (Green, Spear)]

[Attack: 2-3]

[Equipment Requirement: Strength 2]

[Special: Grudge Lock; When parrying with the spear, there is a 50% chance to disarm the enemy.]

[Description: In the eyes of some, arms are the sharpest blades.]

After glancing at the Hundred-Bladed Ghost Arm’s attributes, Gu Xi lost interest. This item didn’t increase any attributes; it only slightly enhanced attack power and added a skill.

His spear skills were poor; he only knew how to thrust with a spear.

This Hundred-Bladed Ghost Arm would be wasted in his hands.

Knowing its attributes, Gu Xi didn’t hesitate and threw the Hundred-Bladed Ghost Arm to the skeleton boss of Combat Squad 3.

The moment the skeleton boss took the Hundred-Bladed Ghost Arm, the spear rapidly transformed.

Originally, the Hundred-Bladed Ghost Arm was a nearly three-meter-long spear made of arms.

Now, it had become a spear made of bones, especially the tip, which was entirely composed of finger bones.

Simultaneously, the spears of all the skeletons in Combat Squad 3 underwent the same change; their spears became two and a half meters long, with spearheads that had shrunk into cone-shaped hand bones.

Clearly, when the skeleton boss was affected by the equipment, the ordinary skeletons in the squad were also affected.

After equipping the new weapons, Combat Squad 3 quickly moved forward and attacked the specters.

Unlike their previous orderly attack patterns.

This time, Combat Squad 3’s skeletons fought individually.

After all, they couldn’t attack as a squad; otherwise, they would definitely injure other skeletons in the melee.

Now, Combat Squad 3’s skeletons could only cooperate in groups of two or three, attacking individual enemies.

It must be said that their new weapons had a significant impact, with Combat Squad 3’s attack power noticeably increasing.

With their participation, the remaining specters were quickly killed.

When the last specter was killed, Gu Xi heard another ding.

[Ding! Temporary Task: Progress of the Dead City has changed. The first wave of enemies has been eliminated. The second wave will appear in 15 minutes. Please prepare for battle.]

Seeing the message, Gu Xi immediately issued commands.

“Everyone, get moving! Clear the battlefield! I don’t need any of those ghost energy orbs. Reinforce the skeletons! Demolish buildings, create barricades, and replenish each combat squad. We don’t have much time!”

Seeking recommendations, follows, and promotion!
