Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Regional Plot Task

Translator: 549630339

Seeing so many bat-winged zombies. Song Jian’s heart skipped a beat, recalling the scene from that night. Even though these bat-winged zombies were level 10 elite bosses, the sight of a hundred of them flying low through the sky was absolutely terrifying.

That night, Song Jian had seen numerous level 15 and even level 20 elite bosses fall under the bat-winged zombies’ onslaught and become their food.

Just as Song Jian stepped onto the stage and prepared to retreat, he suddenly heard a cold, mechanical voice in his ear.

“Warning: You have entered a sensitive area, and the area’s plot will begin!¹¹

“Warning: There is a Skill Book Stele in this area. Kill all the monsters in the entire theater to activate it. The stele will be available for 10 minutes, and you can purchase Skill Books that appear on it!”

“Warning: You will automatically accept this task and cannot refuse. Fifteen seconds after accepting the task, all the monsters in the entire theater will launch an incessant offensive against you. Please be prepared!”

“Tip: After the task starts, the entire theater will become a special structure, prohibiting other players from entering in any form and preventing you from leaving in any form until the stele appears. After 15 minutes, you can choose to leave. If you leave the special structure, the task will fail, the Skill Book Stele will disappear, and you will no longer be able to obtain this task here in the future!”

System: You have accepted a regional plot task, which will begin in fifteen seconds!

System: Fifteen-second countdown begins: 15, 14,13,…

“A regional plot task? Is it only available to the first person who enters here?” Song Jian was puzzled. Glancing at the dense crowd of at least a hundred bat-winged zombies in the hall, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Fortunately, these bat-winged zombies were only level 10 ordinary monsters, not elite bosses like the ones he had seen that night. Seeing their childlike bodies, Song Jian assumed it was because they hadn’t fully grown yet.

“LV10 Bat-Winged Zombie (Young), Vitality Points: 550/1100, Traits: Flight, Strong Poison; Skills: Bite, Dive”

These bat-winged zombies were just level 10 ordinary monsters, but their attributes and skills were powerful. Although not as formidable as elite bosses, they were much stronger than regular level 10 zombies.

The fifteen-second countdown ended quickly, and all the bat-winged zombies opened their blood-red eyes at the same time, staring at Song Jian.

A hundred bloodthirsty red eyes stared at Song Jian, making him feel a tingling sensation on his scalp, as he slowly moved towards the backstage passageway.

It was impossible for him to fight so many monsters in an open area. If he wanted to achieve victory, he had to rely on terrain. The passageway leading from the stage to the backstage could only fit two or three people side by side, giving him a distinct advantage over fighting the bat-winged zombies on the open stage.

Moreover, Song Jian could retreat while fighting, and if he felt overwhelmed, he could hide in the loft he had entered the theater through. As long as he held the entrance, he could endure until the fifteen minutes were up.

However, this would be his last resort. Until the very end, Song Jian wouldn’t choose to hide in the loft and let the task fail.

Plop!

All the bat-winged zombies took to the air and attacked Song Jian. It looked like a massive wave of dark clouds rushing towards him.

Seeing the swarming bat-winged zombies, Song Jian’s eyes lit up, and he took out a T-11 high-explosive grenade from his inventory, pulled the pin, and threw it at them.

Boom!

A loud explosion ripped through the crowd of bat-winged zombies, instantly sweeping away dozens of them. A large row of damage numbers appeared, creating a dizzying display.

Ten-plus bat-winged zombies received critical damage, showing damage figures of over six hundred points above their heads and were instantly killed. They transformed into black ashes floating down from the sky. Many other bat-winged zombies lost half of their Vitality Points, their bodies drenched in blood and emitting painful screams.

Some bat-winged zombies even caught fire, flying around in pain and causing other bat-winged zombies to stay away from their burning companions.

Killing more than a dozen bat-winged zombies gave Song Jian a small boost in his Experience Points. He then took out a bottle of Weakness Potion and threw it at the nearest bat- winged zombie.

Without checking the effect of the Weakness Potion, Song Jian turned and ran towards the passage behind him.

“What a pity. I only managed to make one high-explosive grenade. If 1 had three or five of them, it would be easy to wipe out these monsters! Furthermore, killing all these monsters would be enough to raise my level by one.” Song Jian lamented as he ran.

The T-11 high-explosive grenade was quite powerful, dealing 300 points of area damage to targets within a five-meter range and having a chance to inflict an additional 150 points of fire damage. If in the center of the explosion, there was a high chance of critical damage; the more densely packed the monsters, the better its effect. It was indeed a powerful tool for slaying monsters.

But the success rate of crafting high-explosive grenades was low – even ten sets of materials might not guarantee the creation of one, and the materials required were numerous and challenging to gather. Otherwise, Song Jian could have mass-produced them and quickly reached the highest level possible.

Upon reaching the passageway, Song Jian turned around, wielding the Guardian’s Sword, and stood one meter away from the entrance, waiting quietly. In no time, several bat-winged zombies covered in Weakness Potion rushed in, attacking Song Jian without hesitation.

With a sudden forward thrust of the longsword in his hand, Song Jian pierced the head of the foremost bat-winged zombie, flung its lifeless body backward, and hit several others.

“Broken Wing Dance!”

With a soft shout, Song Jian lunged forward, his body slashing heavily into a bat-winged zombie covered in Weakness Potion, instantly cutting the half-health monster in half. Blood rained down on him.

Buzz!

A faint sound echoed, and a milky-white light shield appeared around Song Jian’s body, blocking the attacks of the approaching bat-winged zombies. The second stage of Broken Wing Dance was activated, and in the narrow passage, Song Jian could only move forward.

At this point, he had reached the entrance of the passage, and if he continued forward, he would be in the middle of the swarm of monsters. Undaunted, he charged ahead, his longsword piercing another bat-winged zombie.

Then, Song Jian leaped high into the air and struck down forcefully.

With a “bang”, his sword smashed into a bat-winged zombie’s head, splitting it open like a watermelon. A shockwave spread in all directions, sweeping away the other bat-winged zombies that were within range. The damage numbers continued to rise as Song Jian retreated back into the passage.
