Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1455 88. The Lich King's Entrepreneurial Team Formed Formally

When it comes to Crypt Lords, travelers on the Northrend continent have a lot of hearsay stories to show off, but in fact, most of the merchants who travel between Northrend and the Eastern Continent cannot see it with their own eyes. I have seen this mysterious creature.

The reason is also very simple. When faced with this kind of underground creature that can prey on giant dragons, as mortals, the chances of them being able to leave the hunting ground of a crypt lord alive are basically the same as winning the first prize of the goblin lottery.

Probability can not say no.

It can only be said that the symbolic significance is greater than the existential significance.

And even in those gossip, no one would describe the crypt lord as a fish-like existence, and all those who boasted of their knowledge would do their best to describe the horror and mystery of the crypt lord.

Some say those underground kings are as big as mountains, others that the crypt lords walk like flying, and still others say that those horrible bastards are the most dangerous assassins and underground assassins in the world.

All of these statements are true.

Then mix them all together and triple them, and you can basically describe what a crypt lord should look like.

Naturally powerful, brutal and ruthless, it hides underground and walks silently, bringing death and destruction to its locked targets without warning.

These are the characteristics of a crypt lord, but unless you see these legendary creatures with your own eyes, it is really difficult to describe the chilling demeanor of a top hunter in words.

"Cool, three at a time! I only know the leader, but I know we caught a real big fish this time!"

On the walls of Ankahet, the bloodied city of the Old Kingdom, Bu Laike maneuvers his magic eyeballs across the battlefield ahead.

He observed the huge crypt lords that burst out of the ground, and then let out an exclamation of joy.

The stinky pirates pointed at the most massive monster in the center like a few treasures, the armor was as thick as a rock and covered with barbs, and the head was raised upwards like a stag beetle. Ratas said:

"Look at that big man in the lead, that is the most powerful crypt lord king ever born in the history of Nero, the calm, silent and brutal hunter Anub'arak, that is my favorite beetle.

It was actually the first one to meet the enemy.

It seems that the king of Azjol-Nerub, Anubrekhan, is a bit busy today, and he is also a fierce general among the Nerubians. "

"I like this big bug!"

Xal'atath, who was tired of being beside Laike, also looked at the crypt lords who had begun to fight the Lich King and his subordinates with admiring eyes.

As the master of the swarm, she obviously likes these big underground bugs whose every inch of body is a killing weapon. These guys called Crypt Lords are simply the ultimate destroyers that can only be born after the killing genes of the swarm have been evolved to the extreme. .

Their huge bodies ensure that they have super vitality, and the thick carapace covering their bodies can help them resist most physical damage, and the ability to cast spells as nerubians can also give their carapaces a certain degree of magic resistance.

These thick carapaces are not just purely defensive organs, each piece of carapace grows counterattack barbs like sharp cones and halberds, making it almost impossible for the enemy to attack in melee combat, and the Crypt Lord only needs a simple impact , can pierce and tear anyone who gets close to it.

These big guys have heavy bodies and thick insect limbs that can support the body. The spider-like insect limbs ensure that they are quiet and silent when they move quickly.

And the huge insect claws growing in front of the body are like sickles and battering rams. The cuticle used for attacking is as strong as a boulder, and it can easily smash the skulls of most creatures in this world when it is sharp.

In addition to such brutal physical destruction, they can also use magical attacks.

Just like now.

"boom"

The huge crypt lord who was attacking Lothar kept waving his sharp insect claws trying to break through Lothar's defenses, but the power from Frostmourne combined with Lothar's superb combat skills made Anub'arak's continuous onslaught have no effect .

Its huge insect claws collided with the ice-like magic sword. It was thought that it could easily smash the flashy death magic sword, but the result was like hitting a thick city wall.

The violent concussion from the blade of ice made the crypt lord with infinite strength be pushed staggeringly, and Lothar, who was wrapped in the cold wind, stepped forward and slashed three times in a row with his sword, knocking the crypt lord away. The tough bug carapace chipped off several pieces with ease.

The thick ice wrapped around the Lich King during the battle covered the mountain-like crypt lord with a thick layer of ice in a short contact. If it was frozen by frost, it would seriously affect the flexible combat of this big guy.

In desperation, the crypt lord was forced to use a strategy of defensive counterattack.

It stared at the dangerous undead in front of it with its icy worm eyes, and its scabbard wings, like a dragonfly or a praying mantis, buzzed at high speed, as if calling for its own legion.

Soon, there was a strange vibration on the nerubian corpses scattered around the battlefield, causing flesh and blood to burst, and large black scarabs were conceived and summoned from the flesh and blood of the corpses. Like a black storm or the most dangerous shoal of piranhas in the world, they will devour everything in their path.

But this "quantity advantage" is meaningless when facing His Majesty the Lich King.

The near-permanent ice storm wrapped around him made these little beetles come and die. It is embarrassing to see the mighty but unable to break the defense, but the most powerful crypt lord, Anub'arak, did not count on it. Rely on this corrupt swarm to defeat powerful enemies.

It summoned its own beetle swarm just to create a sneak attack opportunity for itself. At the moment Lothar was entangled by the scarab swarm, the huge mountain-like crypt lord burrowed into the ground from the spot like magic. .

The whole process was extremely fast, completed in the blink of an eye and only left a very small hole in the ground. This kind of unreasonable ground jump is obviously a strange earth magic effect, which is the innate power of nerubians.

This move also feasted the eyes of Bu Laike as an "audience".

As the most outstanding master assassin in Azeroth, he could vaguely sense that the position of Anub'arak, who had sneaked into the ground, was moving rapidly, and he was accumulating some kind of berserk power to prepare to erupt from the ground, but the stinky pirate didn't remind him that he had already landed. His majesty the Lich King, who has fallen into the crypt lord's deadliest trap.

He believed that His Majesty Lothar would not be defeated by such a small trick.

Most importantly, he also wanted to see how far Lothar's upper limit of power could reach while holding Frostmourne.

The data entry given by the character card can only be used as a reference, not as an actual combat power.

Pirates have known this for a long time.

Just like Odin and old Gani, although both belong to the power level of "half god", the difference in combat power between the two guys is so big that it makes people desperate.

"boom"

Facing the crypt lord who was sneaking into the ground and preparing to launch an underground raid, Lich King Lothar did not walk around in a panic, but stood in place holding a magic sword. He really could not perceive the crypt lord's movement underground.

But he doesn't need to perceive this either.

Assassins have assassin's fighting methods, and fighters also have fighter's coping methods.

With a loud noise, the terrifying forelimbs of the crypt lord pierced out of the ground like knives, and a large number of sharp thorns shaped by earth elements were called to erupt from Lothar's feet, instantly smashing the target together with the surrounding buildings. destroy.

But the Lich King was unscathed by the flying bricks and stones.

Lothar, who is extremely experienced in combat, has already injected cold air into the ground to shape solid frozen soil, severely weakening the destructive power of Anub'arak's fatal blow.

The moment he was blasted into the air, he tumbled and landed on the ground again, raised his sword and slashed forward, striking with a powerful blow of cold wind, freezing the forelimbs of the bugs mixed in the ground thorns to the ground.

This blow of the Frost Chain was like a mountain of ice being formed in an instant, immobilizing the big bug in the ground, unable to move or escape.

Its super stealth and surprise attack ability was abolished in an instant.

"It's coming, it's coming! Look! Don't blink."

Seeing Lothar on the battlefield control Anub'arak, he held Frostmourne in the opposite direction, and pierced down towards the frozen ground under his feet. Bu Laike, who was so excited to eat melons and watch dramas on the city wall, immediately flew up. Holding the wine bottle, staring wide-eyed, pulling Xalatas beside him, like a fanatic watching a movie, he said excitedly:

"The Lich King's signature skill, the Floor Insertion, is coming."

"boom"

As soon as Bu Laike finished speaking, the Frostmourne in Lothar's hand instantly pierced the frozen ground as his body went down.

It's really like "plugging the floor" as the stinky pirates said.

Two-thirds of the extremely cold death magic blade sank into the ground, and the seven dominance runes on the blade gleamed like an invisible blade piercing downwards. In the next moment, Anub'arak's deep cry of pain accompanied the ground. Shocks echoed from the ground.

Serious injury with one blow!

With the worm claws being frozen and unable to dodge and block, even the crypt lord, whose vitality was as powerful as a dragon, couldn't bear the burst of frostmourne's death aura.

Green-purple blood gushed out from the broken ground, and was quickly frozen by the cold wind into a strangely colored ice layer, which looked extremely miserable.

But if this is all it is, it is not enough to send the crypt lord into a desperate situation. When Anub'arak realized that death was about to erupt, the entire frozen ground was shattered.

The crypt lord, who was pierced in the abdomen during the earthquake and the mountains, appeared staggeringly from the ground. Most of its body was frozen at the point where the sword was pierced, making it look extremely bleak.

But what shines in those sinister and vicious insect eyes is the light of a desperate battle.

The Crypt Lord flapped all his movable scabbard wings together, and the weird migratory locusts hidden under the scabbard wings and cuticle flew out hummingly. These small insects were smaller in size but flew faster.

Like a series of flying knives passing through the ice shield around Lothar's body, they penetrated into the body of the Lich King in the piercing parasitism and began to absorb his blood and vitality.

This is the last desperate stunt of the crypt lords.

Relying on these symbiotic migratory locusts, as long as there is an enemy alive around, the vitality transformed by the migratory locusts is enough to "lock" the vitality of the crypt lord.

If the enemy doesn't die, they don't die.

It can be called the ultimate cheating method.

When Anub'arak was "young", he relied on his vicious and deadly migratory locusts to hunt and kill several young dragons as food and trophies, which made him a well-deserved king of Azjol-Nerub's underground kingdom. king.

However, this bottom-of-the-box trick has no magical effect at all when facing His Majesty the Lich King, who cannot be regarded with common sense.

Lothar is a dead spirit.

There is no such thing as vitality in him, and even the blood in his body is full of deadly toxins of frost, blood and plague under the blessing of death power.

As the bloodthirsty locusts transferred the blood of His Majesty the Lich King to the Crypt Lord who was about to fight to the death, Anub'arak, who was already seriously injured, was infected with the deadly plague of death in an instant.

Let it hurt more.

This huge man as huge as a hill staggered and spurted blood, and after just a few minutes, its breath even brought a gloomy cold air.

Facing Anduin Lothar, who was walking towards him step by step with the magic blade of death, Anub'arak, the most powerful crypt lord, collapsed on the ground. Lothar kicked away.

The Lich King strode forward, the magic sword was lifted, and amidst the deadly sound of the sword, Lothar pierced the sharp blade through the beetle-like head of the crypt lord with a clean piercing.

The icy sharp blade pierced the blood very smoothly, cut the cuticle like parting the surface of the water, and without any hindrance, gave the blessing of death to the ancient giant beast in front of him who fought hard against the Lich King, despite its defeat.

The light in Anub'arak's eyes faded little by little.

Its last cry echoed through the ancient capital of An'kahet, bloodbathed by the qiraji and the mantid, like a lament for the destruction of the ancient city.

But soon, in less than ten minutes, Anub'arak, who had just died in despair, was reborn in another more powerful form of "immortality".

It wobbled its huge body and stood up from the pool of its own blood. There were still traces of battle on the shattered carapace, but the solid ice covering the carapace made the already powerful defense of this giant beast even stronger. layer.

A merciless blue flame shone from its worm eyes.

That is the beating of the fire of the soul representing death and rebirth.

The most powerful crypt lord stood firm. It moved its body like a bug and looked around. The few remaining ordinary crypt lords that were killed by General Liresa and the Maris "couple" were also there. "Resurrection" under the gift of death.

They were just like when they were alive, waiting for the order to attack.

Sadly, Anub'arak was no longer the one giving the order, and both the king and his hunters had become part of a greater force.

All they need now is to obey and kill.

"hum"

The Frostmourne sword exuding endless frost was swung by Lothar in front of him, pointing obliquely at the ground.

As the crypt lords whimpered and lowered their bodies in the act of loyalty, the nerubian corpses slaughtered by the Qiraji in the entire city also stood up one after another.

Those shattered bodies were given new strength.

The Lich King doesn't care if their bodies are complete or not, what he cares about is whether these incomplete guys who died from the swarm's bite can continue to fight for themselves?

The answer is yes!

Following Lothar's silent command of waving his hand back, all the crypt lords except Anub'arak burrowed and left in unison, and the captured nerubians also disappeared into the tunnel on the ground with the lords. middle.

They were given a new mission

They want to conquer their compatriots for the Lich King!

The underground kingdom of the nerubians will be under the control of the undead Scourge, and this boundless underground world will also belong to the supreme Majesty Anduin Lothar!

Bo Laike, who was standing on the city wall, watched the scene with satisfaction.

He looked at Lothar holding the magic sword, at Windrunner's mother who was endowed with more death power, and finally looked at Beetle Xiaoqiang who had just been resurrected and was still adapting to the power of death.

"The Lich King, the Banshee Queen, and the King of the Underground. Oh, the professional groups are all together now."

Bo Laike grinned and clapped his hands and said:

"It's time to bring the end of the undead Scourge to the Eastern Continent! Well, maybe I should ask Eudora to send some expired grain to Andorhal.

Although those things will only make the unlucky people have diarrhea and dehydration, after all, there must be a full set of acting.

Ok?

What are you doing? "

The stinky pirate looked back at Xalatas, and the dark essence had a weird expression. She looked at the back ground of Ankahet City with a weird body motionless, but her neck turned 180°.

Asked by Bu Laike, Xal'atath whispered:

"There...someone wants to surrender to me, the crypt lord on the other side, the underground king on the other side. It surrenders to me and sacrifices everything. Tsk tsk, there are still smart people among the nerubians."
