Chapter 210 The Difficult Enemy
When there is only the last skeleton left in the field, its strength will surely reach unimaginable heights.
The severe test will finally begin!
However, neither Ling Chen nor Nangong Yan noticed this for the time being.
They worked together, as if they had gone through countless rehearsals, and they cooperated with each other very well.
Ling Chen, a melee combat type, and Nangong Yan, a long range combat type, perfectly complement each other's shortcomings.
Ling Chen took the position where Nangong Yan was standing as the center and kept moving within a range of two or three meters.
Neither being too far away would prevent her from reaching her, nor being too close would hinder her aim.
Ling Chen combined his "Eight Limbs" and launched a set of combo punches to clear out all the skeletons approaching Nangong Yan.
Nangong Yan, on the other hand, entered a state of forgetfulness and dealt with the skeleton in the distance.
Arrows shot wildly into every corner!
Each arrow squeezed through the air, and for a while, the sharp sound of "swish, swish" broke through the air, and it was extremely clear and ringing.
Ling Chen acted as a shield. Even if an injured skeleton appeared not far ahead, he still ignored it and stayed close to Nangong Yan, guarding the safety of his teammates.
Basically, every skeleton that dared to come close would either die tragically from an elbow strike, or be blown into pieces by an unexpected dart!
At this time, Ling Chen was even like a ghost that was everywhere around Nangong Yan!
Several times, when Nangong Yan's vitals were about to be hit, he would rush over quickly and punch the skeleton away.
Otherwise, he would push forward with his body and bear the inevitable attack for Nangong Yan.
From a realistic perspective, it would certainly be much more cost-effective for Ling Chen to be hit by a skeleton if he was prepared than if Nangong Yan was hit.
Firstly, the latter's low physical constitution does not bring good resistance to blows. Once hit, there is a very high chance of serious injury.
Secondly, Ling Chen was protected by the Stone Skin Technique. Being hit like this once was not painful or itchy, and his skin was not even broken.
More importantly, by being beaten in such a prepared manner, he could quickly stabilize his body and continue to engage in the battle without stopping.
When a melee contractor like Ling Chen completely concentrates on protecting his companions, the power he can unleash is absolutely unprecedented!
Nangong Yan felt this deeply at this time.
Originally, at the beginning, she still maintained basic vigilance, fearing that there would be loopholes in Ling Chen's defense circle, thus endangering her own safety.
To be honest, she has partnered with the same type of contractor before.
Many times, what those people did was just to make up for the flaws that occurred when she concentrated on aiming.
However, most contractors are used to fighting alone, and are full of the desire to attack...
In addition, they all want to allocate more rewards after the war. Therefore, once they see a weakness in the enemy, they can't help but take the initiative to attack.
Overall, this is a positive move, and from the perspective of completing the task, it is certainly very good.
However, for Nangong Yan himself, this behavior is quite disadvantageous.
Because, on the ever-changing battlefield, no one can guarantee what will happen in the next second.
If something unexpected happens to the contractor in melee when she rushes out, there will be no room for turning around.
So over a period of time, Nangong Yan gradually developed the habit of allocating part of his energy and paying attention to his surroundings at all times when drawing the bow to aim.
Doing this will undoubtedly protect her safety to a certain extent.
However, due to distraction, she has never been able to hit the target accurately, which weakened part of her combat power.
What Nangong Yan didn't expect was that in this copy, he would encounter Ling Chen, a guy who had a strong view of the overall situation and could completely quench his desire to attack...
Being partnered with Ling Chen gave her a feeling she had never experienced before, a feeling of being able to be hearty and fully concentrate on attacking.
Gradually, Nangong Yan was no longer distracted.
She seemed to have forgotten the existence of everything around her, fully concentrating on the aiming action.
In this way, the combat power she can exert becomes extremely huge!
Not only does it increase the frequency of attacks, but every arrow fired will hit the right eye of a skeleton with great accuracy.
What is shocking is that the location of the arrow in each skeleton is exactly the same, not even half a centimeter off!
In a short period of time, they had brought down a group of enemies, at least dozens of skeletons, and lost their lives.
At this time, Ling Chen's two eyebrows seemed to be intersecting with blades, and he suddenly frowned fiercely.
In his eyes, there was a trace of doubt that was too thick to be resolved.
"Am I overthinking it? Why do I feel like... these skeletons seem to have become a little stronger?"
"Although it's just a very small feeling, I feel that the shock force generated by the fist hitting them seems to be getting bigger and bigger..."
By coincidence, the one-minute cooldown time for the survey ability has expired.
Ling Chen immediately made a decisive decision and used the survey skill towards a skeleton not far ahead:
Flesh Skeleton (Subbody)
Specialties: Physical abilities have improved to a certain extent and are already a bit stronger than ordinary people.
Weaknesses: Because he has no self-thought, his mode of action seems very rigid.
Ability: All is One (Passive)
Explanation: Due to the particularity of the flesh and blood skeletons themselves, they were originally a whole.
Explanation: Whenever a skeleton dies, the flesh and blood essence will not disappear, but will be concentrated on the surviving skeletons. The attributes of the remaining skeletons will be improved.
Explanation: As the number of dead skeletons increases, more flesh and blood essence will be absorbed each time, and the degree of attribute improvement will continue to increase.
………………
Looking at the above information, even with Ling Chen's strong mind, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling of confusion and panic.
There are more than two hundred skeletons in the field...
If all the essence of flesh and blood were gathered together, the resulting monster would definitely be hopelessly powerful.
At the same time, because of the powerful skills of the skeleton body, Ling Chen had no choice but to disintegrate the enemy by killing the mastermind.
Gradually, more and more skeletons fell, and the oozing black smoke became thicker, reaching the point where it could be directly seen with the naked eye.
At this time, Ling Chen's eyes suddenly flashed!
But he noticed that after death, black smoke would seep out of the skeleton, and then be absorbed by other living companions...
However, this does not happen in the blink of an eye, but is a relatively slow process.
According to his observations, after the black smoke appears, it will take about ten seconds to first hover in the air.
Then, when other living creatures of the same kind are found, the flow begins to branch off, just like the sea water flowing to various places, dividing into various branches.
Finally, it took another ten seconds to enter the bodies of other skeletons without missing a beat.
Ling Chen recalled a skill that Nangong Yan had used when he was in the playground, and immediately came up with a plan that should be quite feasible.
He quickly walked to Nangong Yan's side and said hurriedly:
"This group of skeletons will only get stronger as they fight. According to our current fighting style, they definitely won't last long!"
Nangong Yan kept moving his hand, shot another arrow, and cast a suspicious look at Ling Chen:
Chapter completed!
