Chapter 37 They Can Fight as Long as They Want

Lu Yao looked at the newly opened map.

Behind the mountains there is a large forest and plain, and there is indeed a salt pond beach of astonishing size on the edge of the forest. In the middle of the beach stands a black castle, surrounded by lingering gray fog.

The salt pond covers a large area, and many houses, watchtowers and pits have been built next to it. Many villains scooped the salt water into small pits, set up furnaces around them to heat up, and extract the salt inside.

In addition, there are loggers in the forest, quarrymen on the stone hills, and pastures on the plains, where a large bird called [Pacing Bird] is raised.

The Pacing Bird is just like its name, it likes to walk around, it can't fly, and it is not aggressive, so it is raised as meat poultry.

Most of the laborers are barehanded and barefoot wandering savages, who are organized to do this kind of mechanical labor, participating in logging, quarrying, and salt refining... Every savage is tied with ropes, connected to each other, so that they can't escape.

The one who commanded them was not the people of the Salt Pond Tribe, but a humanoid monster with blue skin [Corruptor].

The Corruptor is the upper class here, supervising and directing human work.

Although it is called Corruptor, this group is not the kind of irrational zombies. On the contrary, they have a very clear division of labor and personal mission.

The Corruptor supervises the work of every human being, and issues warnings and reminders from time to time.

"Don't be lazy! Do you want to have no food? You! The untouchables, stand up quickly!"

"Everything is for the great whistleblower!"

"As long as you work, you can also become a glorious Corruptor, and you will never be afraid of death again!"

"Don't be afraid of injury, don't be afraid of fatigue, after death, you will get eternal life!"

"The Knight will give the untouchables a reward for becoming a Corruptor!"

This kind of coercion and inducement made Lu Yao marvel.

He remembered that the [Evil Bone Whistle] he seized from Lisa was made by the whistleblower. It seems that this person should be a strong god.

The situation in the Salt Pond Tribe was more complicated than he had expected.

Lu Yao continued to observe.

He noticed that the little people in the Salt Pond Tribe, wearing linen clothes, were also very humble in front of the Corruptors. This group of people were just vassals and subordinates of the Corruptors, doing foreign trade for the Corruptors in exchange for various commodities.

The real rulers of the Salt Pond Tribe were the Corruptors.

Lu Yao counted them.

There were not many Corruptors, a total of twenty-five.

However, their levels were very high, the lowest was LV12, and the highest was even as high as LV15. From the level alone, they were almost the same as Isabel.

No wonder Lisa had to cooperate with them before, and the cave monsters had to bow their heads in front of the Corruptors.

It was just that because he had not entered the combat mode, except for being able to see the level, Lu Yao could not know the detailed values ​​of this group of Corruptors, and could not make a basic combat power assessment.

However, Isabel gave an evaluation: "My lord, they are not weak. I can see their strength from the fire of faith."

"Do we need to execute them all?"

Lu Yao was shocked.

Your two sentences are totally unrelated.

You just said that they are strong, and then you said that they can be killed?

He typed to confirm.

——Can you deal with these corruptors?

"Yes, sir."

Isabel said calmly: "But this is just the periphery. The real danger and the controller are in the castle. I haven't entered the castle yet, so I don't know the opponent's strength."

Lu Yao is very confident in Isabel.

Since she was awakened, Isabel has not encountered a real opponent. It's just a matter of time.

However, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Lu Yao typed again.

——If you encounter a strong enemy, can you escape?

"Sir, the enemy must be unable to leave the castle for some reason."

Isabel calmly analyzed: "Otherwise, with the enemy's strength superior to that of ordinary corruptors, as long as they leave the castle and enter the outside world, they can completely control the surrounding area."

"Now it seems that it is very likely because he is subject to some kind of restriction."

"Of course, these are also my inferences."

"But I am very confident that even if I can't defeat the opponent, I can successfully retreat."

Isabel couldn't understand the mechanism, but Lu Yao knew it.

Whether the castle is a copy or not, there must be a boss inside.

In this novice area, the boss must not be able to move around freely. Otherwise, the apprentice god player would have no fun at all, and they would be burned, killed, robbed and abused by this group of high-level monsters before they had a few people...

If this is true, the grass on the graves of the Garlic Tribe should be several meters high now.

Lu Yao thought for a moment.

-Then do it, and get rid of this corruptor as soon as possible.

"Yes, sir."

Isabel rushed from the mountains to the salt pond, and the nearest corruptor immediately discovered her.

"Who are you! Stop! Pariah!"

The "In Battle" sign suddenly appeared above Isabel's head.

Lu Yao opened the battle interface.

Two Corruptors of Lv12 confronted Isabel.

...

[Corruptor LV12]

HP: 240/240

Mana: 37/37

Damage: 10

Defense: 8

Speed: 7

[Stubborn LV6]

There is a certain probability that it will not be affected by spells.

[Rebirth LV6]

If the body is not completely destroyed after death, there is a certain probability of resurrection.

……

These two abilities immediately alerted Lu Yao.

Spell immunity + rebirth?

As an ordinary monster, is this a bit too strong?

He muttered in his heart, is this the simulator's punishment for his refusal to leave the safe zone?

However, facing Isabel in the state of summoning the holy sword, the Corruptors still had no chance. The huge gap in numbers made them just sandbags with slightly thicker blood skin.

Isabel held the holy sword and chopped down two Corruptors. Other Corruptors joined the battle and started a wheel-crushing battle.

Lu Yao was not worried about these monsters, they could not cause substantial obstacles to Isabel.

What he cared about was the castle wrapped in gray fog.

Corruptors kept running out of the pixel castle and joined the battle outside.

In this case, some of the savages tied up with ropes tried to escape, and were immediately killed on the spot by other Corruptors. Seeing this, the other savages dared not move one by one.

So the salt pond became a two-threaded situation where some people worked and some fought, and there was no interference between them.

As the battle continued, some of the bodies of the Corruptors on the ground pieced together, and then reborn into new Corruptors, continuing the marathon battle with Isabel.

Monsters kept spawning out of the castle, which was simply endless. Isabel killed hundreds of Corruptors, but these monsters still kept coming forward without regard for their lives.

Even in this process, Isabel was upgraded to LV16.

Lu Yao was ecstatic.

Is this the legendary monster spawning point?

Good spawning, spawn monsters for me!

Lu Yao ordered a portion of fried potatoes and grilled gluten. With Coke, he watched Isabel mowing the grass and killing monsters with relish, which was more comfortable than doing it himself.

He liked the Corruptors so much now.

Stubbornness is good, rebirth is good, both are good skills, and you are also first-class monsters! Refresh for me, rebirth for me, and fight hard for me!

While Isabel was fighting, a dialog box appeared above her head.

"My Lord, something is wrong here."

"The number of corrupted people has not decreased at all."

"If we continue to fight, other corrupted people will also wake up from the castle, and the number will be much greater than expected."

"Perhaps the key reason is inside the castle. Should we go in and check it out now?"

The key here is to level up, don't worry about useless things.

Lu Yao was chewing on roasted gluten while typing quickly in the dialog box.

—— They can fight as long as they want, until they win completely!
