(Thanks to Duan Nian for the 100-coin reward!)
This time, the dragon-shaped energy emanating from his palms was more solid and powerful than before, instantly blowing away dozens of Undead blocking the doorway. Even the three-meter-tall Abomination was blown several meters away and crashed heavily to the ground, greatly reducing the pressure on the soldiers!
For a moment, the soldiers looked at Jiang Jie with gratitude and admiration.
"Now it's your turn! Give me ten minutes!" Jiang Jie took a deep breath. He had used up a lot of Internal Energy with two consecutive palm strikes, and his Internal Energy was surging inside his body, so he needed to calm down a bit.
"Don't worry! We'll hold them off!" Taelan shouted, immediately ordering everyone to defend the area at all costs.
Jiang Jie had killed over a hundred Undead, demonstrating a destructive power comparable to that of a high-level mage. Now, with the pressure greatly reduced, all the soldiers could catch their breath and readjust their defensive formation.
Jiang Jie sat cross-legged and actively circulated the Black Tortoise Longevity Art, increasing the speed of his Internal Energy recovery several times over.
" Nicholas!" Lilian suddenly entered the fortifications, looking at Jiang Jie with the pride of a child seeking praise, head held high, eyebrows dancing with excitement. "I killed 21 Undead!"
As a rogue who isn't good at direct combat, killing so many Undead is already quite remarkable. Jiang Jie gave him a thumbs up, and Lilian looked happy before running over to fight alongside the others.
She's doing great now, unlike before when she was insecure and withdrawn. In fact, she's really beautiful; once she regained her confidence, her smile can make everyone like her. A smiling angel is the most beautiful, and her seasoned smile has won over many people. Both Taelan and Darion like her very much now.
Darion was bandaging a Warrior's wounds, secretly glancing at Jiang Jie several times, his eyes filled with admiration. Jiang Jie's performance had completely stunned him. He thought to himself, when will I be as strong as Nicholas? After all, Nicholas was about his age...
Ten minutes later, Jiang Jie stood up.
Although only a small portion of his Internal Energy has been restored, his physical condition has almost fully recovered, and he is ready to fight again.
"There's a necromancer about a kilometer away, summoning Undead from various places to attack this place. We must kill that necromancer, or we won't be able to hold out for long," Jiang Jie said calmly, his eyes fixed on that direction.
This place is too close to Andorhal, with another small town and five or six villages nearby. If that psychic is given enough time, he could even summon ten thousand Undead to gather here! At that point, no matter how strong Jiang Jie is, he won't be able to kill so many Undead, and everyone here will surely die.
"That psychic is likely a high-level psychic," Jiang Jie added, then noticed the others' faces freeze.
High-level psychic!
How many high-ranking necromancers are there in all of Lordaeron?
In places teeming with the Undead, high-level necromancers possess formidable power. Given enough time to prepare, they could even summon mountains of corpses and seas of bones, annihilating a regular army of thousands!
Surrounded by such a powerful enemy, the soldiers' faces were grim. The joy they had felt at Jiang Jie's arrival quickly vanished. They knew that unless a Grand Knight or a hundred elite troops came to their aid, they were doomed!
"Ten kilometers to the northeast, there's an outpost in Hearthglen, with twenty soldiers stationed there. Twenty kilometers further east is Dalson's Tears, where Baron Maxwell is purifying the Undead." Taelan looked at Jiang Jie and requested, " Nicholas, could you please ride your gryphon to those two places and request reinforcements?"
"Twenty soldiers? What can they do? As for Dalson's Tears, it's so far away. They wouldn't get here in two or three hours. Can you hold out that long? Besides, I don't even know where Dalson's Tears is."
"They might not even believe me," Jiang Jie shook his head. "I think we should send Darion instead. As for me, I'll find a way to take care of that psychic!" "But..."
"No buts." Jiang Jie interrupted Taelan, and with a whistle, the griffin that was attacking the Undead flew back.
" Darion, there's no use in you staying here, is there? The griffons trained by the Wildhammer Dwarves are very intelligent and can understand you. Go and come back quickly!" Jiang Jie quickly entered Stealth mode.
He ignored these people; he had to hurry and kill the necromancer, because every extra minute would bring several or even dozens of Undead to this place, increasing the pressure on Lilian and Taelan.
Having found his direction, Jiang Jie moved through the Undead, carefully avoiding the Ghoul with more acute senses, and approached the psychic according to the previously determined location and direction.
The further outwards you go, the more scattered the Undead become, with areas less densely packed with them than those with fortifications. This is a good thing, as it means the danger of being discovered is decreasing for Jiang Jie.
In fact, Felstone Field is very large, with more than a thousand Undead scattered across such a vast area. Sometimes you can't see a single Undead within ten meters. Warrior and Paladin, with their vigorous blood and dazzling Holy Light, easily attract the attacks of the Undead, but thieves, hidden in the darkness and enveloped in Shadow energy, can move freely across this Plaguelands.
As long as he is careful, Jiang Jie, being a high-level thief, will be in no danger.
Soon, he saw the psychic.
It was a psychic dressed in a gray-black robe and a gray-black hood, holding a staff surrounded by gray light. He was completely hidden in the gray mist, and his appearance was not visible at all!
" Xiao Feng, scan!"
Soon, Xiao Feng's voice came back. "Scan complete! Host, based on the energy intensity within the target, it is estimated to be a high-level psychic, posing a high threat. Good luck, host, I believe in you!"
The threat level is "high"!
This means that the opponent's overall strength is slightly greater than one's own, but as long as one is careful and cautious, there is still a possibility of victory, and the chance is not too low, probably around 30%.
If it were just a high-level psychic, Jiang Jie wouldn't have much to worry about; it would be easy to deal with. The problem is that this high-level psychic is surrounded by more than a dozen zombies, several resurrected guards who are only left with fighting instincts, and a three-meter-tall Abomination that is even more powerful and terrifying than the one before!
The reason it is described as more powerful and terrifying is that the stitching of this Abomination is more exquisite and tighter. The stitching is not made of ordinary silk thread, but rather with enchanted thread used by enchanters. The Abomination's corpse seems to have been carefully treated by Undead, giving this Abomination even greater power.
To be precise, this is an elite-level Abomination!
