Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

What should I do?

Should we...get a call?

Lin Qi hesitated for a moment.

The wandering skeletons were only level 1 to 3, with attributes at most 2 or 3 points. He had five skeletons with him, and dealing with three to five ordinary skeletons was already a piece of cake.

But elite skeletons...

Its level is at least LV5. Its strength, agility, and constitution are all far superior to those of ordinary skeletons.

Even more deadly is the combat skill—

Ordinary skeletons can only instinctively slash and block, their movements are stiff and full of openings.

Elite skeletons were often true warriors in life, and even after death they retain their complete fighting instincts and may even possess certain skills.

A head-on clash?

Lin Qi silently estimated his chances of winning.

Five ordinary skeletons plus himself, facing off against elite skeletons... He's crazy and courting death.

But the mine is right in front of us...

Lin Qi gritted his teeth.

beat.

We definitely have to fight.

Every resource-rich area is surrounded by undead guards. Even if you abandon this place to search for the next one, you will still face the same problem.

The question is... how do I play it?

Lin Qi pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding terrain, and an idea gradually took shape.

He looked up at the elite skeleton still leaning against the foot of the mine. The thing was motionless, like a statue, with only the red light in its eye sockets flickering slowly.

"Let's go." He lowered his voice and waved to the skeletons behind him.

Five skeletons followed him, silently retreating behind a mound.

The mound is about 100 meters away from the mine, right within sight.

Lynch lay prone at the edge of the mound, peering towards the direction of the elite skeleton—the thing was still in the same spot, motionless.

He recalled the game's settings.

In the Land of the Dead, each undead has a fixed alert range. The alert range of an ordinary skeleton is approximately thirty meters, while that of an elite skeleton…

One hundred meters!

Once you step into this area, you will be attacked by the other party.

However, the activity range of the undead will not exceed this distance!

In the real world, Lin Qi didn't know if the other party would still be so rigid, but he was certain that these brainless things probably wouldn't be very smart either.

Lin Qi narrowed his eyes, quickly sketching out a plan in his mind.

He turned around first, his gaze falling on Skull 4—the skeleton archer carrying a bone bow.

That's right, his plan was to send skeletons in to lure the elite skeletons out, then command the skeleton archers to whittle them down little by little.

"You," he pointed to the highest point of the mound, "stay here."

With two clicks, Skull Number 4 climbed to the top of the mound, crouched down, and aimed its empty eye sockets at the direction of the mine. It drew a bone arrow from its quiver, nocked it on the bowstring, and waited.

Lynch raised his hand again.

Palms facing forward, focus your mind—teleportation portal, summoned.

"Sizzle—"

A faint crackling sound of electricity rang out, and a cloud of black mist appeared out of thin air in the space a step in front of him.

This was no ordinary battle, so Lin Qi naturally had to take all necessary precautions so that he could escape immediately if anything went wrong.

Lin Qi glanced at the teleportation portal and felt somewhat relieved.

One step is all it takes to get out of danger in time.

With the portal in hand, he will always be invincible!

After setting up the skeleton archers and summoning the portal, he took a deep breath and focused his gaze on the tall, giant axe-wielding skeleton.

"Number 2. Step forward."

"Click-clack!"

Skull 2 ​​stepped forward, its massive skeleton gleaming coldly white under the blood moon. It gripped its long-handled battle axe, its empty eye sockets fixed on Lynch, awaiting command.

Lin Qi pointed in the direction of the mine: "Go in."

Skull 2 ​​did not hesitate.

It turned around, took a step, and walked towards the mine.

Lynch lay prone behind the mound, holding his breath and staring intently at the elite skeleton.

One hundred and thirty meters.

One hundred and twenty meters.

One hundred and ten meters.

One hundred meters —

The elite skeleton moved.

Its posture, which had been leaning against the foot of the mine, suddenly changed, as if something had been abruptly awakened. The two deep red flames in its eye sockets flickered, and then—

It stood up.

Its movements were so fluid, unlike those of a skeleton, lacking the stiff, jerky feel of a typical skeleton. It pulled the two-handed greatsword from the ground, the blade gleaming coldly in the blood moonlight.

Then it took a step.

It's not about leaving.

It is 沖.

The speed was astonishing, like a gust of wind, each step covering three or four meters, scattering the white bone fragments underfoot.

Skull 2 ​​had already turned around and was running back, but the elite skeleton was too fast, and the distance was closing rapidly.

Lynch's heart pounded.

Fifty meters!

The elite skeleton charged to a position fifty meters away from the mound!

"Release the arrows!" Lin Qi shouted in a low voice.

"call out--!"

A sharp whooshing sound exploded in their ears. Skull No. 4's bone arrow flew from its bow, tracing a straight trajectory through the air, and aimed precisely at the elite skeleton's chest—

"Snap!"

The bone arrow struck the ribs, the arrowhead deeply embedded between the bones.

The elite skeleton paused slightly, a small crack appearing on its ribs.

Lin Qi's eyes lit up: "This has potential!"

However, in the next instant, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Whoosh!" The sound of wind breaking through the air rang out.

The elite skeleton leaped into the air!

The massive skeleton hovered in the air, its two-handed greatsword slashing straight down at Skull 2, the blade cutting through the air with a dull "whoosh" sound.

"Bang--!"

The greatsword grazed Number 2's back and slammed into the ground, scattering bone fragments and leaving a deep crack in the ground.

Although it did not hit directly, No. 2 was still propelled into the air by the airflow it generated.

Fortunately, it was already at the edge of the 100-meter range, and this time it flew directly out of the opponent's alert range.

The elite skeleton suddenly stopped.

It remained frozen in place, its hands still gripping the sword. The red light in its eye sockets flickered violently a few times, then... dimmed.

It slowly straightened up, gripped its sword, turned around, and walked back to the mine step by step.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness...it seems this setting is still effective..."

He quickly looked at Skull 2.

The left arm of No. 2 has a small part of the arm bone missing. The fracture is jagged and the empty medullary cavity inside can be seen.

Lynch was once again alarmed.

The mere gust of wind from the blade caused such immense damage; if that sword strike had landed squarely...

But Lynch quickly laughed again.

"Yes!" he said in a low voice, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

They can fight.

Although dangerous, it's a fighting force.

He peeked out and looked towards the mine. The elite skeleton had returned to its original position, leaning against the foot of the mine, motionless, as if nothing had happened.

The red light in his eyes was still slowly pulsating.

Lin Qi licked his slightly chapped lips, and a phrase he was most familiar with from playing games in his past life floated into his mind—

Flying kites.

He turned his head and gave the order to Skull 2.

"continue!"

The kite-flying battle has begun.

Number 2 went inside.

The elite skeletons chased after them.

The skeleton archer fires an arrow.

Number 2 ran out.

The elite skeleton ran back.

Number 2 went in again...

Lin Qi used this shameless and lewd method to constantly lure and wear down the elite skeletons.

With each attack, the elite skeleton's bones developed more and more cracks, until eventually a piece of its skull was missing and its shinbone was shattered.

at last!

Just as Lynch's skeleton archer's quiver of 100 bone arrows was nearly empty, the soul fire within the already tattered skull of the elite skeleton finally dissipated.

"Splash!"

The next instant, with a crisp sound, the elite skeleton immediately scattered into a pile of white bones.

Lynch's eyes lit up!
