Novel Bin Chapter 6 - 6 006 Corpse Swarm
The Rotting Corpse Plain!
Gazing at a small house about a hundred meters away, possessing a water source, food, and even a treasure chest, Dean McKenzie’s face showed both surprise and seriousness beyond the delight.
“I found the supplies, but I can guess even with my toes that getting the supplies inside won’t be so easy!”
There is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky.
This, Dean McKenzie, who has just picked up a Promotion Book, believed without a doubt.
After all, although he found the Promotion Book and successfully upgraded his rank, he almost paid the price with his life.
Moreover, Dean McKenzie clearly knew that there might be a greater causality behind the Promotion Book.
This book didn’t appear in the sewer for no reason.
Dean McKenzie wouldn’t comfortably believe that what he picked up was his.
The same goes for the things in front of him.
Dean McKenzie doesn’t think what he sees is what he gets.
“The surroundings are pretty open, and there doesn’t seem to be any danger. The only source of danger should be in that dilapidated little house!”
Dean McKenzie looked at the wooden house, which was about a hundred square meters and several times larger than his previous one.
“If the house is hiding corpses, judging from the size of this wooden house, I wouldn’t be surprised if dozens or even hundreds of them burst out!”
As Dean McKenzie spoke, his eyes narrowed.
Then, waving the magic wand in his hand, he commanded the Little Skeleton he had named Dean McKenzie to move forward.
The skeleton, under Dean McKenzie’s command, deliberately slowed down.
Advancing step by step.
A minute later, it entered within a range of one hundred meters of the dilapidated house.
After another five minutes, it entered within a fifty-meter range of the dilapidated house. At this time, the skeleton was only thirty to forty meters away from the Bread Tree. At this moment, Dean McKenzie, who was constantly paying attention to the small house, decisively issued an order.
“Retreat!”
As Dean McKenzie gave the order, the Little Skeleton turned around and sprinted.
At the same time, the small broken house that Dean McKenzie was watching collapsed with a loud bang.
Dozens, even hundreds of corpses swarmed out like wild dogs, madly rushing towards the Little Skeleton.
The speed of the normal corpses is not fast.
It may even be slightly slower than the Little Skeleton’s speed. Plus the Little Skeleton has a fifty-meter advantage, at first Dean McKenzie was confident that he could get the Little Skeleton out.
But when the Little Skeleton left the dilapidated house by a hundred meters, and Dean McKenzie saw that the corpses were still not giving up and continued to chase after it, without hesitation, Dean McKenzie gave up on the Little Skeleton that he had just named.
“Go back!”
At Dean McKenzie’s command, the level 3 Little Skeleton turned around without hesitation and rushed into the Corpse Swarm.
In an instant, this Little Skeleton was swallowed up by the Corpse Swarm.
[Your summoned creature has been killed!]
Accompanied by the cold system prompt, the Little Skeleton that had been with Dean McKenzie for more than an hour completely disintegrated.
Dean McKenzie was a little distressed, but he knew that this was not the time to be distressed.
He still hid a hundred meters away, nervously watching the reaction of the corpse swarm next.
Thank God, as the Little Skeleton was destroyed, the rampaging Corpse Swarm lost their target and gradually calmed down.
And the quiet corpses slowly returned to the position of the dilapidated house.
Although the dilapidated house was gone, they still guarded the fountain and the Bread Tree.
“It seems that once you enter a distance of 50 meters, it will trigger the fury mode of these corpses. In this mode, it’s almost a fight to the death.
The skeleton cannot leave more than 150 meters away from me, so I don’t have the conditions to use the Little Skeleton to lure away the corpses.
That is to say, if I want to get those supplies, there is only one choice, which is to wipe out this swarm of corpses!”
Murmuring, Dean McKenzie gazed at the nearly a hundred corpses wandering in front of him with knitted brows.
Nearly a hundred corpses, even if I can kill one with a Bone Fang, I would need at least nearly a hundred Bone Fangs.
Each deployment of 8 mana would cost 800 mana points.
800 multiplied by 5 minutes is 4000 minutes.
“I can either choose to give up, or I need to find a more energy-saving way to deal with this Corpse Swarm.”
If I give up, I don’t know when I’ll find supplies again.
Even if I can find them in a short time, I’d probably face a similar situation.”
With that said, Dean McKenzie’s gaze gradually became firm.
“Since it’s unavoidable, I can only try to face it!”
Having made a decision, Dean McKenzie slowly fell back, beginning to carefully investigate the surrounding environment.
Quickly, Dean McKenzie found his target.
He climbed onto a man-sized rock about 130 to 140 meters away from a rundown hut.
After staying on this rock for a while, Dean McKenzie’s Mana recovered to 21 points, he summoned a new Little Skeleton.
Then, after spending about an hour, he once again recovered his Mana to 16 points.
By this time, Dean McKenzie had been at the Rotting Corpse Plain for about four to five hours.
Having not eaten or drunk anything in four to five hours, and having also experienced a fierce battle, Dean McKenzie’s condition was extremely poor.
Nevertheless, it was under such unfavorable conditions that Dean McKenzie commenced his battle.
“The 50-meter range around the small, broken-down house is the rampage line. If I don’t enter within that range, the Corpse Swarm should not go into a rampage. If I utilize this point well, there might be a chance to lure the corpses over.
Go, Doggy Two, help me lure a corpse over!”
After the first Little Skeleton died, when it came to the second Little Skeleton, Dean McKenzie’s naming became much more random.
At his command, the Little Skeleton named Doggy Two staggered forward.
Watching Doggy Two gradually moving away, Dean McKenzie was somewhat nervous.
After all, he couldn’t go with Doggy Two, he could only command from afar.
Especially for a task like luring monsters, which requires some skills, Dean McKenzie was really worried about whether Doggy Two could complete it.
“If Doggy Two can’t do it, then I’ll have to resort to Plan B.”
Plan B refers to him personally going to the field, which would be a pure gamble of life.
However, if there were no other way, Dean McKenzie would still gamble his life.
Luckily, Doggy Two was somewhat competent.
Not long after it went out, the Little Skeleton came running back, with a slow, stiff-limbed corpse behind it.
“It’s coming!”
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie suddenly became excited.
“Quick, come this way!”
Under Dean McKenzie’s command, the Little Skeleton lured the corpse to the rock where Dean McKenzie was, and led the corpse around it in circles.
Dean McKenzie watched with his Skeleton Wand, seizing the chance to deal a blow to the corpse’s head.
It hit, but didn’t cause injury.
However, it successfully attracted the hatred of the corpse. The corpse’s gaze instantly fixed on Dean McKenzie, as it roared and tried to climb onto the rock. Dean McKenzie seized the opportunity to chant a spell.
“Power of the Dead, forge the Tooth of Destruction”
At his command, Dean McKenzie precisely hit the corpse’s eye socket with one Bone Fang.
[You successfully kill [Corpse], gaining 1 Experience Point!]
[You killed a monster of higher level, gaining an extra 4 Experience Points!]
