Chapter 404 The terrifying power of the Corpse Explosion Technique, and a huge amount of loot!
Ye Yinzhu glanced at the terrifying undead army that covered the entire battlefield and nodded vigorously: "Now that you, Ark, are here, we should indeed try again."
If that still doesn't work, we don't want to waste any more time here.
"Don't be too greedy for the rewards listed by the flower fairies; just report it to the military academy directly."
All of them were straightforward and decisive people, and since they had already made their decision, they no longer hesitated.
After discussing their strategy briefly, they began to take action.
Fangzhou also learned from Ye Yinzhu that since the swamp gradually dried up, the swamp frogs had become increasingly irritable.
After all, like frogs, they are amphibians. If they don't see water for a long time, there is only one outcome—death.
Moreover, they are also hostile to the fiery monsters under the Lava Demon's command.
Even though the average strength of the two sides is not at all the same level, once they encounter each other, the Swamp Frogs will still bravely and proactively attack the Fire Monsters.
It's unclear whether they attack all outsiders indiscriminately or whether they've discovered part of the truth and know the real culprit.
That's why Ye Yinzhu and the others had previously considered joining forces with the Demon Swamp Frogs, or at least using some of their power, to fight against the Evil Fire Monsters.
Although everyone belongs to different camps, the enemy of my enemy can sometimes become a temporary ally.
Unfortunately, despite having a druid in the group who was skilled at communicating with animals and humanoid creatures, their mission ultimately ended in failure.
The enraged swamp frog refuses any communication or interaction.
They now only crave fighting and killing.
Then came the scene that Ark had seen earlier.
Fangzhou thought about it and felt that this matter was still closely related to their faction and race.
Lava Demons and Fire Demons are both part of the Chaotic Evil faction.
The swamp frogs themselves aren't exactly benevolent either; they are neutral evil.
Even when faced with threats, it is unlikely that they would cooperate with the lawful and good humans of Earth.
While heading towards their destination under Ye Yinzhu's guidance, Fang Zhou was also deploying his undead army. A short while later, Zhang Wu patted Fang Zhou on the shoulder and gave him a meaningful look.
Following his gaze, Fang Zhou looked down at his feet, and his expression immediately turned serious.
Compared to the surrounding swampy areas full of mud, the ground beneath their feet was cracked all over.
It looked like it hadn't rained in years; there was absolutely no trace of anything related to a swamp.
Moreover, the air no longer felt damp; instead, it began to feel slightly hot and dry.
Fangzhou became increasingly cautious.
"The terrain here has changed too much," Fangzhou said in a low voice. "For the enemy to be able to change such a large area of terrain, they are definitely not as simple as Ye Yinzhu said."
This is probably not a task that Haicheng Military Academy cadets should be undertaking at this stage.
Everyone, please be careful.
As the temperature rose, the surrounding fog completely dissipated.
Previously, Ark disliked them for being an eyesore, but now he hoped they could last a little longer.
Because this would be more advantageous for them in ambushing the Fire Demon, what a pity—
Just as he was pondering this, Ye Yinzhu ran over and said, "Fangzhou, once we get over that hill, we'll reach our destination."
But now things seem to have taken an unexpected turn.
"Hmm? What accident?" Fang Zhou frowned, his tone tinged with alertness.
But seeing the joy on Ye Yinzhu's face, Fang Zhou felt that this accident shouldn't be a bad thing.
"Those fiery monsters weren't just patrolling; they even captured some prisoners!"
Soon, with the help of some dry trees for cover, Ark could see more clearly.
A few hundred meters ahead of them, about thirty fiery monsters were driving roughly twice their number of murlocs and swamp frogs forward at a leisurely pace.
It wasn't that they didn't want to hurry, but whether it was the fishmen or the swamp frogs, in this already dried-up...
Walking on the ground without any water source will not be fast at all.
Fishmen and swamp frogs are both amphibious species, but they are more accustomed to being active near water.
Now that they're out of the water, not only have their attributes decreased in all aspects, but their movement speed has also really slowed down.
The prisoners appeared exhausted, staggering and falling to the ground from time to time, only to be whipped up by the evil fire monster and forced to continue.
The fishmen's eyes were filled with fear and despair, while the swamp frog appeared even more agitated, but unfortunately, it lacked the strength to follow.
Only the ten elite fire monsters did not participate, but remained on guard on the perimeter.
These elite fire monsters are slightly larger than ordinary fire monsters, and their flames are more intense, making them appear more ferocious.
Fangzhou carefully observed these evil fire monsters.
They are slightly shorter than humans, but still considered medium-sized creatures.
His lower body was exceptionally robust, with well-developed muscles, as if he was born to fight.
However, his upper body appeared somewhat thin, with narrow shoulders and slender arms.
Its skin is deep red and covered with a layer of tiny scales, as if it evolved to withstand high temperatures.
Its head is triangular, its eyes are deep black, its nostrils are wide, and its mouth is full of sharp teeth.
The Evil Fire Monster is highly militarized, practically a nation of soldiers.
Although their lifespan is much shorter than that of humans, their growth rate is even more exaggerated.
They are trained to be warriors from a young age, and almost every Fire Demon is a qualified combat unit.
This rapid growth and intense training made the Fire Demon the most reliable and effective cannon fodder monster under the Lava Demon's command.
Fangzhou noticed a dark black horn hanging from the waist of one of the elite fire monsters.
It also carried a net on its back, which seemed to be the guy Ye Yinzhu had mentioned before, their commander.
However, after looking at it several times, Ark couldn't find any difference in appearance between it and its companions.
These fiery elites look almost identical, the only difference being their horn and the net behind them.
However, that's not important. What's important is that under the Ark's Soul Eagle Eye, even the strongest Evil Fire Monster's energy fluctuations do not exceed those of a lower-tier Black Iron.
This means they pose no threat to the Ark.
The members of the natural disaster team, including Liu Diewu, remained relaxed, clearly not taking the matter to heart at all.
They were simply waiting for the Ark's orders, ready to take action at any moment.
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, "Ark, do you have any way to release some of the prisoners to create some chaos for those evil fire monsters, making it easier for us to attack?"
This coincides with Ark's previous plan to ambush the gnolls.
So he replied, "I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee it will be a complete success."
Our primary target remains those fiery monsters.
"If those prisoners are blind, then after we kill the evil fire monster, we can just kill them all as well."
The key to this mission lies in whether or not they can successfully snipe O before the enemy sends a signal.
Otherwise, attracting three patrols of evil fire monsters at once would only create unnecessary trouble, even if they were confident in the Ark.
After all, behind these fiery monsters are an unknown number of lava demons.
Since Fangzhou had already said so, Ye Yinzhu and the others naturally had no other opinions.
They quickly adjusted their formation, preparing for the impending battle.
Ark took the lead, using the Sky Curtain Bottle to release the Undead Sky Curtain, which enveloped its entire undead army.
As the distance closed, Ark launched the first attack.
"A spear that pierces the heart with its bone-like structure!"
Fang Zhou shouted in a low voice, and a terrifying spear, pale white and formed from solidified bones, flew through the air, heading straight for the leading elite of the evil fire monsters.
The flying spear moved with lightning speed, pinning its target, who hadn't even had a chance to react, to the ground.
The corpse of the Fiery Elite twitched a few times on the ground, then lay still.
This attack not only quickly eliminated the leading elite, but also bought valuable time for subsequent attacks.
At the same time, skeletal arrows, also filled with the aura of death and putridity, began to fall.
However, their target was not the remaining elite fire monsters, but rather to instantly kill the other fire monsters guarding the perimeter.
A volley from thirty skeleton archers would almost kill them instantly.
Not to mention, these arrows are also imbued with the special effects of the Bone Armory and the Brutal Aura, which further enhances their attack power.
In an instant, the evil fire monsters on the periphery fell one after another, and the scene immediately descended into chaos.
The murlocs and swamp frogs seized the opportunity to scatter and try to break free from the fiery monster's control.
Although Ye Yinzhu and the others were quite surprised by the power of this wave of arrows, they immediately followed the established plan and unleashed their full ranged attacks.
In an instant, crossbow bolts, throwing knives, and magic missiles flashed one after another, their targets still the evil fire monsters that had been noticed beforehand.
According to their previous plan, after Ark sniped the evil fire monster that could blow the horn, their next goal was to kill all the squad leaders in the shortest possible time.
Make the Fire Demons lose their unified command, and then kill all the remaining Fire Demons in one go!
Due to the premeditated ambush, most of the elite fire monsters were killed immediately.
There was another one that wanted to give orders, but the Ark's skeletal spears struck again, sending it straight to meet the God of Evil Fire.
This attack not only swiftly eliminated yet another commander, but also further exacerbated the chaos among the fire monsters.
At the same time, the undead army launched an attack from both sides.
Their purpose is not entirely to kill enemies, but more to prevent evil fire monsters from escaping.
These undead soldiers swiftly charged into the enemy ranks, dividing and surrounding the fiery monsters to ensure they could not escape.
But this is where the strict military system of the evil fire monsters comes into play.
Under the command of a stronger fire monster, the remaining fire monsters, though panicked, quickly sprang into action, attempting to form small formations.
Although these fiery monsters are inferior to humans in strength and physique, their military training is extremely rigorous, and they can quickly restore organization even in chaos.
The powerful fire monster roared loudly, commanding the remaining fire monsters to quickly form a defensive formation in an attempt to withstand the enemy's attack.
However, they had been escorting prisoners, so there was some distance between them.
Normally it would be one thing, but in such a critical moment, Ark won't give them a chance!
With a series of orders, Olaf and his elite skeleton officers, along with melee fighters like Ye Yinzhu, pressed forward.
These elite skeletal officers were not only powerful in combat, but also tactically flexible, quickly penetrating the enemy lines and dividing and surrounding the evil fire monsters.
Ark also unleashed area-of-effect attacks such as Poison Cloud and Bone Shockwave.
This kind of surprise attack requires a quick victory, and there's no time to worry about wasting mana.
These direct damage skills received an additional 20% power boost when the Twilight Robe was perfectly triggered under the Twilight state.
The poisonous cloud spell quickly spread out, enveloping a large area of evil fire monsters, slowing their movements and making it difficult for them to breathe.
The evil fire monsters struggled in the poisonous cloud, their bodies gradually rotting and their power rapidly waning.
The shockwave from the skeletons surged in like a tidal wave, knocking down the struggling fiery monsters one by one.
The sound of bones cracking echoed throughout, sending chills down one's spine.
As these skills were unleashed in succession, the fire monsters' combat power rapidly declined.
However, it was his casting of the spell that attracted the attention of the last few elite fire monsters.
They immediately roared and charged forward, brandishing their scimitars.
These elite fire monsters are more robust than ordinary fire monsters, and their flames are more intense, making them appear exceptionally fierce.
Other fiery monsters also chose to follow without hesitation, clearly regarding the Ark as the greatest threat.
As a chaotic and evil humanoid race, the Fire Evil is not as intelligent as humans, but the difference is not that great.
They are especially perceptive when it comes to matters of battle.
Ye Yinzhu immediately became anxious: "Ark, be careful, they're targeting you!"
Fang Zhou remained calm and shook his head slightly.
He had anticipated this move and already had a countermeasure in mind.
A flash of light appeared, and a large pool of murky green light was sprayed onto these elite fire monsters.
The instantly expanding Rot Aura skill caught the charging Fire Monsters completely off guard, engulfing them entirely.
Then, a series of "whooshing" and "plop" sounds were heard.
Without exception, these fire monsters were all covered in an extremely eerie, pale green light, their limbs were weak and powerless, and their charging movements came to an abrupt halt.
Although the Fiery Demon performs well in agility and speed, it is completely inadequate in terms of strength and physique.
At the very least, it cannot escape the effects of the Ark's decaying aura.
