Chapter 284

"The enemy's body is very hard, pay attention to the strength of the sword, don't let your sword get stuck."

After cutting a sword at the zombie, the two-handed sword in Geralt's hand did not stop at all, and cut off the heads of two other zombies in succession.

Then he discovered that the zombie he first cut off at the waist did not stop moving at all. Its upper body was still holding a weapon, and it was crawling, seemingly wanting to pursue him from behind.

The two that were beheaded had lost traces of movement and turned back into corpses.

After discovering this phenomenon, Geralt shouted to Letho and others behind him again:

"Pay attention, piercing attacks don't work, you must let their heads leave their bodies."

At this time, the benefits of him acting as a vanguard immediately appeared. With his strength and insight, it was easy to figure out the basic characteristics of the enemy during the first contact, avoiding unexpected dangers due to cognitive errors.

After all four witchers rushed to the front and used their exquisite swordsmanship to block the enemy's forward speed.

Margarita and Keira, who were standing behind the two, had also completed the preparation for casting spells, ready for their respective good magic.

The female headmistress's personality is relatively stable. She directly used a large-scale fire magic on the rear of the corpse group, directly covering most of the corpse group, wanting to use the hot flames to test the fire resistance of these corpses.

And Keira is not good at directly using attack-type magic. What she chose is the dispelling-type magic commonly used when fighting undead creatures and fighting ghosts.

This kind of magic can use chaos magic to dispel the enemy's soul power from its body. However, this kind of magic is difficult to work on living creatures and is magic specifically researched by sorcerers to deal with undead creatures.

After the two magic spells fell into the corpse group one after another, the effect was quite obvious.

The fire magic directly ignited the clothing on those corpses, scorched their hair and skin, making them into torches ignited one by one, but it did not have much impact on their actions.

However, Geralt estimated that after the burning of fire magic, after the moisture was evaporated, their bodies should no longer be as hard as they were at the beginning, which is equivalent to reducing their defense.

And the effect of the dispelling magic was immediate. After being hit by the white light ball emitted by Keira, the zombie was like having its soul extracted, instantly falling to the ground and losing its ability to move.

Obviously, what controlled them to fight was not their flesh, but the soul affected by hell power.

However, it is a pity that the dispelling magic can only be used one-on-one. Sorcerers have not yet developed group dispelling magic, so Keira's casting speed is not fast, and it is not even as good as the witchers using swordsmanship.

After Letho and others met Geralt, the equipment on their bodies had all been updated. Although it couldn't be called a divine weapon, it was definitely a high-quality weapon of high value. With the strength of several witchers, they could cut off the heads of these zombies very smoothly.

After the battle lasted for a few minutes and the number of the corpse group was reduced by one-fourth, the fallen ones hidden in the corpse group couldn't sit still, and one after another drilled out from the gaps in the corpse group, a part rushed towards Geralt and other witchers, and they didn't attack closely, holding stones, daggers, short axes and other throwing weapons in their hands, interfering with their movements on the periphery.

And another group wanted to take the opportunity to bypass the witchers on the front line and attack the two sorceresses standing behind them.

Geralt suddenly had a thought in his heart and said to the other three witchers of the Viper School:

"You go deal with those little monsters, leave these undead monsters to me, I have a good idea."

Letho and others didn't doubt it upon hearing this, immediately exited the battlefield in front, and returned to the side of the two sorceresses, obviously very confident in Geralt's strength.

And Geralt exerted his super ability, took out three North Wind Bombs from his waist bag, and threw them towards the corpse group in three directions.

Bang! Bang! Bang! A burst of cold air swept across, and ice chips splashed everywhere.

Sure enough, as he expected, the zombies, which were originally stiff as frozen corpses, were immediately shrouded in cold air, one after another, frost formed on the surface of their bodies, their movement speed became slower and slower, and finally they were all fixed in place.

The influence of ice was obviously better than fire, and the North Wind Bomb was as easy to use as ever.

Letho and others were also very fast. Their swordsmanship was restricted when dealing with thick-skinned zombies, but it was very easy to use when dealing with fallen ones with petite bodies and agile speed. Almost every sword could hit the enemy's vital points directly, and all the fallen ones that rushed up were beheaded around the sorceresses. The Viper School was originally a school that was relatively good at fighting with people, just like the Cat School. These little monsters were effortless for them.

After throwing a few North Wind Bombs in succession, more than twenty zombies were all frozen. Geralt didn't continue to throw bombs, but condensed magic power in his left hand, and hit an Aard Sign. The powerful impact directly beat those frozen zombies into pieces of minced meat. The effect was very obvious, almost the same as the piercing Aard in the game.

With Geralt's demonstration, Margarita immediately changed her method. Her hands swayed, and she chanted tongue-twisting spells in her mouth. A large amount of chaos magic began to condense under her mobilization.

Above the heads of these zombies, dozens of cone-shaped ice blocks like ice spears suddenly formed out of thin air, and then these ice spears flew out from the sky with extremely strong chill, hitting the zombies at the rear of the corpse group one after another, freezing them in place.

After the battle reached this point, the subsequent work was simple. Before these zombies recovered their ability to move, the witchers either used the Aard Sign to directly destroy the frozen corpses into minced meat, or simply used the steel swords in their hands to cut off the heads of these zombies.

In about twenty minutes, this wave of monsters, which added up to about one hundred and forty or fifty, was wiped out by Geralt and others.

However, it is a pity that it cost several North Wind Bombs and consumed a lot of magic power, but these corpses had no loot at all except for some coins left before they died.

This made Geralt feel like he was losing money.

It's not that he cares about that little money, but this also let him know that the idea of wanting to rely on farming monsters to explode equipment and artifacts in the Diablo world is basically impossible to realize.

In reality, it is impossible for monsters to carry various potions and equipment with them.

As for the coins or other valuable things covered in bloody rotten meat on these corpses, neither the sorceress nor Geralt had the heart to search for them. Even Letho and others who wanted to search the corpses were stopped by Geralt.

Geralt did not be ambiguous, and directly promised several people that after this commission ended, he would give them a remuneration of two thousand orens each. This kind of generosity of throwing thousands of gold shocked the three witchers of the Viper School who had just escaped poverty.

You must know that in the original work, Geralt risked his life to help King Foltest save his daughter, and only received a bounty of three thousand orens, and Geralt's mansion in the wealthy area of Wyzima only cost a few thousand orens. This remuneration must definitely exceed the actual amount that should be given.

After dealing with the first batch of monsters, Geralt and others did not stay, rested for a short while, and continued on their journey.

However, what they didn't know was that just four or five minutes after they left, a few monsters that had been hiding not far away soon returned to the place where they fought.

The appearance of these monsters is similar to ordinary fallen ones, but they are larger in size, stronger in body, wearing quite gorgeous robes, and the demon horns on their heads are more prominent.

And compared to ordinary fallen ones, these fallen ones all held a skull staff made of unknown materials in their hands, and could communicate in a strange language while walking.

After these special fallen ones came to the corpses, they picked and chose among the corpses, came to those corpses that were still relatively complete, and one after another swayed the skull staffs in their hands while chanting spells in the language of another world.

Soon, under the action of their spells and magic power, those relatively complete corpses began to aggregate one after another, pieced together, stood up again, and restored to the walking corpses before.

And those small fallen ones that were killed were all resurrected without missing one.

Only the twisted bonding traces on the bodies of these monsters still showed that they were monsters that had been killed and then resurrected.

And these fallen ones with special body shapes and holding staffs are actually elite members of the fallen clan, and are fallen shamans who can skillfully use hell power.

After these hell shamans completed their resurrection ceremony, the monster group that was wiped out by Geralt and others returned to a scale of nearly one hundred people, and under the command of these few shamans, began to continue wandering in the mist.

This is because many zombies were blown into minced meat by Geralt's Aard Sign. Otherwise, if it were those mercenaries who used swords to kill zombies, these fallen shamans could even resurrect all their own members, plus other mercenaries who were killed, making their team expand more and more.

And it is precisely because of the existence of these fallen shamans who have mastered hell magic that the number of monsters in the mist has become more and more numerous than a few months ago, and the erosion of hell power has become more and more serious.

Even if Geralt is lucky enough to discover and kill these fallen shamans hiding far away from the corpse group, as long as the fallen shamans in the mist are not extinct, and the corpses of these monsters still exist, they can still find opportunities to resurrect their companions.
