Chapter 13: Night in the Ancient Capital
When Bai Hua arrived at the ancient capital, he found that he had been fooled. Not every household here has a terracotta warrior.
It must be said that the scenery of the ancient capital without the undead is quite good. Although the eight dead kings are a huge threat, it is undeniable that their existence has deterred many demon tribes and even empires around them. The brainless undead that only appear at night and the demons that stare at humans all the time are obviously easier to deal with.
Of course, in the eyes of humans, the eight dead kings are also a huge threat. After all, even the totems that have protected humans for countless years are regarded as security risks. Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. The people of the ancient capital who said that the undead protected humans and competed with the undead for countless years for living space were the first to disagree.
Bai Hua retracted his thoughts. He used the God's perspective of reading novels in his previous life. After all, novels are written randomly. The same thing is expressed in different ways, and it is completely different. In addition, low-level undead are generated quickly and have no intelligence. When the gold coins explode at night, he will not hold back at all.
Because the plane arrived in the ancient capital in the afternoon, there would be plenty of time in the future anyway, Bai Hua simply gave up the plan to take Ling Ling to play in the ancient capital, and directly rested in the hotel. When the sun was about to set, he went to the outer wall of the ancient capital to prepare for the defense line.
The ancient capital welcomes anyone who comes to help kill the undead, whether it is the academy, the family, or the hunter. It doesn't matter, as long as it can relieve the pressure on the military mage.
Ten sunflowers, ten sun solitudes, thirty pea shooters, twenty ice shooters, twenty nut walls, and twenty potato mines, occupying a large area a few hundred meters away from the outer wall. This position is at the edge of the range of the primary mage, so there is no need to worry about being robbed of monsters. If you can't defend it, you can retreat a little to get the cover of the military mage on the wall. At the same time, there will be no undead coming out directly from under your feet at this distance.
Bai Hua thinks that it is enough to prepare these in advance. Each plant must be divided into a trace of mental control. It is troublesome to control too many plants. When fighting for a long time, he also needs to replenish the magic power of the attacking plants. Moreover, there are not many commanders at this level, so there is no need to go all out.
As for the little spray, Bai Hua, who cannot change plants yet, does not want to waste precious card slots on mushrooms that sleep during the day. Although you can directly use magic power to wake up mushrooms without coffee beans, it is equivalent to double the magic power required for mushrooms during the day.
Bai Hua leaned against a nut wall, thinking about what dried mushrooms would taste like while waiting for the undead to attack.
"Lingling, are you sure you don't want to go back?" Although Bai Hua agreed to bring Lingling to the ancient capital, he only planned to let Lingling stay on the absolutely safe city wall instead of going with him to the position he arranged.
"It's okay. Before I came, grandpa gave me a new magic tool. The monarch can't hurt me at all." It can only be said that she is worthy of being a granddaughter, and she is generous. Bai Hua has known about Lingling's new equipment for a long time. What he is worried about is not Lingling's safety, but... forget it, wait and see.
"Here they come." Not far away, undead crawled out from the ground. The daytime of the ancient capital belongs to the living, and the night is the carnival of the undead.
Zombies, skeletons, ghosts, and all kinds of undead were so dense that you couldn't see the end at a glance. Before the catastrophe of the ancient capital, the attackers were all slaves with fast regeneration and endless numbers. There were a few generals among them. The occasional appearance of a commander was considered a big deal, and a strong man would appear and kill them quickly. The so-called battlefield of the undead was more of a training ground for the ancient capital.
However, Bai Hua focused on the fear coming from his side. He wanted to laugh a little, but he was professionally trained, so he held back.
"I told you to go back first." Bai Hua reached out and covered Lingling's eyes, picked her up, and prepared to send her back to the city wall first. In his impression, Lingling was not afraid of insects, snakes, rats, etc., but she was still a little afraid of ghosts and undead.
However, the appearance of the undead was indeed scary. Skeletons were better. Low-level zombies all carried rotten meat and maggots, and he instinctively felt physically uncomfortable.
Bai Hua seriously suspected that humans and the undead could not coexist peacefully, and the style of painting was also a reason. If the ancient capital undead had the same cartoon style as the zombies in pvz, at least they would not be afraid. If it was a zombie girl with a two-dimensional style, I am afraid that many people would swear allegiance on the spot.
"No." Lingling in his arms whispered.
"Huh?" Bai Hua didn't hear clearly, but he felt his hands were a little wet.
"I don't want to go back. I said, don't treat me as a burden. At least, I can take you back safely." In Lingling's view, Bai Hua is a mid-level mage. Even if he is a few hundred meters outside the city wall, he will encounter danger if he is not careful, and she can fully guarantee Bai Hua's safety.
Bai Hua was a little amused, because the level of plant cultivation has not been improved. Lingling didn't know how much his combat effectiveness has improved in the past year, but she was worried about his safety.
"It seems I have to let you know how powerful I am." A lot of undeads have already surrounded them. Bai Hua first detonated half of the potato mines on the periphery. Under the chain explosions, large groups of undeads were destroyed. At the same time, Bai Hua began to add Green Blower and Ashe, or Pea Shooter and Ice Shooter.
As if sensing the master's desire to show off, in this round of attack, about a quarter of the special effects of the peas, which originally had a trigger rate of only 15%, were triggered. The powerful firepower directly created a vacuum zone.
Even the military magicians on the city wall were attracted by the firepower. "I thought our squad leader was invincible among the younger generation, but I didn't expect someone to be braver than him. Whose general is this?" A student from the Ancient Capital University muttered to himself.
Bai Hua felt something unusual and looked around the battlefield. He soon found something wrong. The power of his plants had not increased, but the lethality was beyond his expectations. It was about two levels stronger than normal magic. The undead that was expected to be destroyed by four or five attacks was saved by one attack.
It is reasonable that plants restrain undead. Bai Hua didn't bother to care about the reason. He only knew that he was more efficient in earning gold coins.
"I earned more than 50 gold coins in the first wave, and even a spirit. It's comfortable. Maybe I can get two level 3 plants this night." Bai Hua looked at the income and felt a little happy.
The essence of gold coins is residual souls. One residual soul of a slave is one gold coin, and the value of essence is at least a hundred times. However, this thing depends entirely on luck, because there are few undead mages and collection vessels. In many cases, no one knows that essences have exploded. Bai Hua may not explode even if he kills hundreds of slaves. On the contrary, he has exploded two essences at the level of war generals, even though he has only killed more than 20.
It takes 100 gold coins or one slave essence to upgrade the primary plant to level 2, and it directly becomes 1,000 or one war general essence to upgrade to level 3, so he has not saved up a level 3 plant for almost a year. The profiteer system of Sunflower said that it was a 10% discount for the first upgrade.
Bai Hua, who was waiting for the next wave of gold coins, found a Sky Eagle Mage above his head. They were scouts on the battlefield. There were only two situations for the Sky Eagle Mage to approach the city wall: the battle was over at dawn, and the powerful undead were found and looked for someone to behead.
Now it was just night, and it was obviously only the second situation. The Sky Eagle Mage also found him and issued a warning: "A big corpse general appeared in front of you. You'd better go back quickly. I'll call for support."
