[Rotting Corpse Crane

Rank: Extraordinary Level 3 (Elite)

Attributes:
Life: 50
Attack: 50
Defense: 0
Speed: 9
Special skill:

Soul-Destroying Blast: After each attack hits, use sound waves to cause 3% of the attack power of sonic splash damage to all enemy units within 30 meters around the target.

Soul Swallower: Each time you kill a unit, permanently increase your HP by 1 points and restore an equal amount of HP.

Corpse Resonance: Consumes 50% of the current health value and emits sound waves to the fan-shaped area in front, with damage equal to twice the attack power. If this skill kills at least one unit, the consumed health value will be returned.
Cooldown: 8 seconds

Sound Blast: Roars, increases speed by 12 points, lasts for 5 seconds, cooldown is 30 seconds.

Carrion Returns: Automatically triggered when the health limit reaches 200, shedding the carrion and returning to the form of a white-feathered crane, gaining 30 seconds of invincibility. During this period, the Crane Returns skill has no cooldown.

I'm coming!

The king's heart was suddenly filled with dissatisfaction.

The White Crane has two self-harming special abilities in its first phase, making it seem like a silly unit. However, if anyone truly considers it silly, they'll find out they're the silly one.

They self-mutilate in order to shed their shells when the enemy is exhausted from fighting in the first stage, and enter the second stage of the Corpse Crane with a super strong burst.

The White Crane is a crowd-controlling spellcaster, while the Corpse Crane is a bloodthirsty melee berserker. As they tear through enemy flesh with their scythe legs, the sound of the corpses shattering is amplified by their megaphones, dealing psychic damage to all nearby units.

The Corpse Crane uses its high attack speed and splash damage to quickly kill minions, restoring 1 HP for each kill. It then continues to take damage, recovering HP as it loses health, creating a cycle of destruction. Once the cycle is complete, it transforms into the Godly White-Feathered Crane, a 10-second invincible creature.

During the 30 seconds of invincibility, White-feathered Crane can use Crane Never Returns infinitely to refresh the cooldown of its special skill, and then use Soul-Destroying Cry and Bird's Song infinitely.

The Crane's Return triggers Soul-Destroying Cry, as does the Bird's Song. The deceleration damage is continuous throughout. Its exaggerated control and damage output are enough to be described as devastating.

Such a terrifying white-feathered crane turned out to be a social monster. Chaos is really shameless.

As a Level 3 Extraordinary Elite Monster, the White-Feathered Crane's attributes are actually on the low side, probably only around Level 1 Extraordinary, because their special skills are too strong.

Although the White-Feathered Crane's panel attributes were not high, a flock of them was definitely more threatening than a Dominant-level Drowned Poison Mother. Their special skills completely made up for the panel's shortcomings.

But for Wang Bufu, insufficient panel attributes are Baiyuhe's biggest weakness!

When a Corpse Crane appears, it completely abandons defense and converts all of its defense into attack power, giving it a maximum attack power of 50, but also reducing its defense power to 0.

Even a farmer with a dung fork can make them bleed and hurt.

They are not afraid of miscellaneous soldiers because they can continuously restore their health by attacking and killing other units, but what if there are no units around for them to kill?
After successfully transforming, the Corpse Crane instinctively activated its ultimate move, Sound Blast!

The acceleration of up to 12 points made their speed reach the terrifying 21 points in an instant.

The speed attribute of the God's World is both attack speed and movement speed. A Rotten Crane with 21 points of speed can attack three times per second if the enemy is standing still. That's three attacks with 50 points of attack power, which is too much for even epic units to handle.

But after activating their ultimate move, the Corpse Cranes froze in place. By the time they had transformed, the Hawk Hunters had already fled to who knows where, leaving no trace of them.

The cavemen on the ground also immediately got into the tunnel and blocked the entrance tightly with stones, so that no sound could leak out.

Like the White-feathered Cranes, the Corpse Cranes lacked vision and could only locate their targets by sound. They stared around, bewildered, and could only wander around in a daze.

Thirty meters! But just thirty meters away, an army of harpies hovered in the air in an orderly formation! The king refused to be bullied because the Corpse Crane's detection range was only 30 meters.

The cracked skulls of the corpse cranes trembled, emitting sharp screams like nails scraping glass. Their sickle-like feet plowed half-meter deep grooves in the ground, but did not harm the cavemen underground.

Wang Bufu closed his eyes, looking at the tactical sand table in his mind, his fingertips passed through the void, and he gave orders to his soldiers!

"Sound Blast Countdown. 3, 2, 1! Artillery Group Three! Saturation attack on Position Five!"

Twenty holes exploded, and the poisonous miasma cave dwellers sprayed venom from different angles. Dark green poison beams intertwined in the air, forming a web, trapping five swooping corpse cranes in a three-meter-diameter poison cocoon. Their speed plummeted from 9 to 5, and the afterimages of their scythe-footed swings missed the cave dwellers' hiding place by a mere half an inch.

What will be lost before their speed is their health!
The five swooping Corpse Cranes suddenly froze, their defenses at zero exposed. The four cavemen simultaneously focused their fire, dealing 60 points of damage and blasting one into pieces of rotten flesh.

"Aerial team, cross fire!" Wang Bufu made a cross gesture with his right hand, and another twenty poisonous miasma cavemen shot out from the eastern cave. They deliberately spread the poisonous miasma evenly. Although the damage was not enough to kill the Rotten Crane, it slowed the remaining ones.

When these monsters' speed is reduced from 9 to 7, their clumsy scythe legs can no longer keep up with the pace of the battlefield.

Gah——!
The four cracked skulls of the Screaming Corpse Cranes uttered cries like infants' cries, their sonic receptors vibrating wildly. They tried to lock onto the source of the attack, but the cave dwellers had already retreated back to reinforce their burrows. Having lost their target, the monsters swung their scythe legs indiscriminately, slashing and slashing, only to have their own flesh splattered everywhere.

"Hawk Hunters! Attack!" Wang Bufu blew the charge horn, and Tina's Hawk Hunters swooped down from a height of 45 meters. They stopped abruptly at the limit of 29.8 meters, their wings deliberately scraping against the rock face of Chicken Leg Mountain, sending sparks flying.

When the sound appeared, the sonic organs of the Corpse Cranes immediately locked onto the source of the noise, but as soon as they turned around, they were hit in the face by the second round of venom.

Phew!

Three cavemen suddenly jumped out from the cave directly below and sprayed at his face. The 45 points of damage directly melted the remaining health of the Corpse Crane into green slime.

The other two wanted to activate corpse resonance, but the sound waves emitted by them, which consumed 25 health points, only tore the rocks on Chicken Leg Mountain apart - the Eagle Hunter had evacuated to a safe height 0.3 seconds ago.

The battlefield situation was completely tilted towards Wang Bufu. Even though the White-Feathered Crane had turned into a Rotten Corpse Crane, it was still under Wang Bufu's command.

"Wow!" Seeing the number of his companions decreasing while the enemy suffered no casualties, the Corpse Crane finally couldn't help it.

The bodies of several Corpse Cranes were shaking continuously, and it was obvious that they were about to use their ultimate moves!
