DOTA’s Madness

The fourth island of Aktura.

In the past, this place was a branch of the troll tribe, and there were as many as 5,000 trolls on the island. Even among the entire island chain, it is considered a relatively large island. But now, this originally lush island has completely turned into a place where plague and death are rampant.

The trees have withered, there are no traces of human life, and even the usual monsters have all turned into undead!

The strong smell of death accompanied by the unique fishy smell made Zhao Dingguo frown deeply as soon as he stepped onto the island. At the same time, the nameplate also gave a timely reminder, saying that it was affected by an unknown plague and was in a state of reduced combat effectiveness.

【Unknown Plague】

Affected by the low concentration of plague in the air, all attributes are suppressed and reduced by 20%, and life is reduced by 50 points per minute (based on the current main attribute, the higher the main attribute, the less affected by the plague).

The plague has no special effect: for every additional hour you stay in the infected occupied area, the effect of the plague will be doubled (relative to the base effect). This process will be accelerated when the plague-infected undead attack continuously. When the plague reaches 10 layers, or the current health value is reduced to less than 50%, the plague effect will explode, causing poison damage equal to 50% of the maximum health value + 1000 points. Poison damage ignores magic immunity and is authoritative.

Skills such as Aphotic Shield, Expulsion, Powerful Attack, and Burial are ineffective against this plague.

Some healing skill potions can only produce 50% recovery effect.

"What a domineering plague!"

Zhao Dingguo couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the attributes given on the nameplate.

Once the plague is triggered. This means that super-god users with less than 2,000 life points will definitely die, which is enough to obliterate any master below the dusk level. Some twilight masters would also die from the poisonous injuries of this plague if they did not have health-supporting equipment. Moreover, its poisonous damage ignores magic immunity. Even the treatment effect is only half!

The most important thing is that this is only a low concentration of plague in the air.

If we come into close contact with the source of the plague, we don’t know what kind of horrific effects it will have.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Zhao Dingguo couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. Every additional hour you stay here will double the blood loss effect of the plague. Although all the second-level ice elemental balls are attached, six more health points can be restored per second. Even with the life recovery bonus brought by the strength attribute, it can still support the tenth level of plague. But that's in a non-combat state, once you fight a monster. The basic plague effect of reducing blood by 50 points per minute is very objective!

If you add another seven or eight layers...

Zhao Dingguo estimated that if all attributes were suppressed by 20% while taking into account combat, he could only last for six to seven hours at most. If you still fight monsters after that time, you will have to do it without losing any blood. Otherwise it would be very dangerous.

Terrible ghost!

This thing is much better than the biological and chemical weapons in the real world.

After secretly raising his guard, Zhao Dingguo fixed the boat on the dock and tiptoed towards the depths of Island No. 4. However, before he walked fifty meters. I don't know when the ground turned gray-black under my feet, but there was an abnormal vibration suddenly. Sensing the danger, Zhao Dingguo took a step sideways and dodged the black hand bones protruding from the ground in time.

It's the undead.

Under Zhao Dingguo's curious gaze, this black skeleton quickly emerged from the ground. Just two seconds later. It completed its battle preparations and swung the pale white bone blade in its hand to kill Zhao Dingguo.

Because I don’t know its combat power. Zhao Dingguo did not dare to be careless. Using elemental fusion, lava elf skills were derived. At his call. A lava elf about two meters long appeared in front of him and blocked the undead's attack.

Affected by the blazing flames, the undead bone blade obviously changed some colors, but it soon returned to normal.

Obviously, this guy is not easy to mess with.

After a few simple attacks, Zhao Dingguo roughly grasped its combat power and type. To use the terminology of some online games I have played, this guy is a skeleton warrior. The physical defense and attack power are both good, and so is the movement speed. Every time it is slashed by it, the Lava Elf's health will be reduced by a certain amount. If he uses all his magic skills, Zhao Dingguo believes that he can deal with up to three or four at a time. If there are more, he will be powerless.

However, don’t skeleton warriors always rely on numbers to win?

After Zhao Dingguo and his summons teamed up to defeat the undead, more undead emerged from the ground. There were also some undead trolls that were obviously stronger and wandered over from the depths of the island, obviously feeling the breath of the living. In just three to five minutes, there were more than a dozen undead within Zhao Dingguo's field of vision!

This is really annoying.

Killing these ordinary undead will yield almost nothing useful. Zhao Dingguo didn't want to waste all his time on them, so he put on the ancient sacred tree ring. After this magical ring took effect, the undead in the distance suddenly stopped. Only a few undead in front of him were still tracking intermittently.

It works really well!

After a few accelerations to shake off these undead, Zhao Dingguo carefully passed the wandering monsters and walked towards the depths of Island No. 4. After experiments, he found that as long as he was not closer than fifty meters, he would basically not attract their attention. If you use ghost walking again, you can sneak past them without being discovered by any undead.

After confirming this, Zhao Dingguo became much bolder.

After searching all the way and killing a few undead that blocked the road that had to be killed, Zhao Dingguo successfully arrived at the troll's original tribe. At this moment, these places have been occupied by large groups of undead trolls, and there is a looming light green smoke floating above the entire tribe, which looks extremely penetrating. Perhaps due to the influence of this smoke, the combat effectiveness of the undead trolls in the village is much higher than that of the undead on the edge of the island.

Among them, the undead troll warriors holding short-handed double axes are the most terrifying.

This advanced undead already has hero-like skills. In addition to extremely fast attack speed and poisonous damage in attacks, it also has a flying ax skill similar to that of the Beast King. Zhao Dingguo tried to let the lava elf carry it, but nearly two hundred points of life were cut off by the thrown axe!

This kind of strength is already close to the ordinary elite monsters in the main plane!

Without the invisibility skill and the ancient sacred tree ring, Zhao Dingguo alone would never be able to reach here. In other words, even a twilight master would most likely fail in the face of this large group of advanced undead. But now, relying on Ghost Walk, which lasts far longer than any other invisibility skill, Zhao Dingguo can remain invisible throughout the entire process and search carefully among the undead tribe.

The relics of the troll Tikoto Sikkim, the mysterious hand bones, the contaminated parchment, the troll Gulu potion...

It took an hour for Zhao Dingguo to find more than a dozen valuable things. It's a pity that these unknown gadgets can only be exchanged for ordinary magic gold coins, or they are sold directly to the Super God platform in exchange for dozens of victory points. After selling them all, Zhao Dingguo only gained a total of 280 win points. Although it is definitely not a small amount, rummaging through a large group of undead for an hour is definitely a job that tests one's heart.

Seeing that it was impossible to find anything more valuable, Zhao Dingguo temporarily gave up the search and headed towards the hinterland of the undead tribe.

Because the ice element level is not high enough and the ghost walking is not practiced enough, Zhao Dingguo's speed will be affected in the invisible state. For this reason, it took him a full twenty minutes to sneak into the core area of ​​the former undead tribe on Island No. 4. This is the seat of the shaman of the troll tribe. Due to its revered status, the altars and buildings here are also the tallest in the entire troll tribe.

Two hundred meters away, Zhao Dingguo saw this altar where the souls of his ancestors had dissipated.

As the entire tribe was infected by the plague, this rough and somewhat crude and mysterious altar completely lost its power and became no different from an ordinary building. However, the undead shaman of the troll tribe who was about 1.5 meters tall and holding a skull scepter on the altar made Zhao Dingguo cautious.

From its body, Zhao Dingguo felt a dangerous aura.

According to the information collected by the Illuminati, if the troll shaman is killed before the ghost appears, there is a very high chance of dropping the Ogre Ax. But that means being hostile to the entire troll tribe, and if discovered by other trolls, the reputation of the Guards Corps will be deducted, so few people will choose to kill the shaman directly. But now that this guy has become an undead, no one will investigate the consequences of killing it?

I just don’t know if killing the Undead Troll Shaman will return the Ogre Ax.

Although it is uncertain, according to some invisible rules of the main plane, the possibility is still very high. Therefore, Zhao Dingguo planned to give it a try.

In terms of strength alone, this Undead Troll Shaman should be comparable to the Naga Deep Sea Priest that he killed before. In order to kill the deep-sea priest, Zhao Dingguo roped in Lao Li and Yan Yuelan to successfully kill him. But now, although there is only one person in Zhao Dingguo, he has a perfect bloodline and better equipment, so it may not be impossible to kill him.

Of course, his biggest reliance was that he had the bottle of poison given to him by his mentor before setting off.

Troll shamans are known to be skilled in voodoo and curses. For example, the representative hero witch doctor is famous for his powerful curses. Once you are cursed, not only will you continue to lose blood, but you will also receive additional damage, which is equivalent to a damage amplification skill, which is very powerful. However, with that bottle of Poison Warlock's poison, everything is different!

On one side is a Rising Sun-level bloodline master, and on the other is an undead troll shaman whose famous skills have been cut off. This battle is a bit of a fight.

However, before killing the opponent, the first thing Zhao Dingguo had to do was to clear away the monsters around the altar.

Because of the lofty status of the shaman, there were not many ordinary trolls around the altar. Even after turning into an undead, there were only five or six monsters within a hundred meters, which greatly facilitated Zhao Dingguo's movements. Relying on the best cannon fodder, the lava elves, Zhao Dingguo can lure them out one by one and kill them alone!
