Owner
Darko and the others took one last look at the third layer, then turned their heads and climbed to the top of the fourth layer with everyone. In this layer, there are a large number of orange trees, and the plump orange yellow-orange ground hangs from the canopy, which is very conspicuous. At the far end of the orange grove, the silhouette of a town looms, and it seems to be the only town on the island.
"Strange. "Orange trees are temperate plants that are suitable for growing in warm and humid climates, but this area is already relatively northerly, and there are cold snaps around it, which is obviously not suitable for the large growth of orange trees." ”
"There is also a large area of forest on the first floor, but there are no orange trees, and the fourth floor is full of orange trees, which are obviously cultivated. Phyllis was proud of her reasoning, and puffed out her chest proudly.
"When I left the island, I heard about orange trees being cultivated, and it was said that the owner liked to eat them. But at that time, it was just a dozen lonely trees, far from the scale it is now. Otto looked at the orange grove in front of him and sighed, unconsciously he had been gone for so long.
At this time, Wendy's voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, "Don't have any special reaction, pretend not to hear what I said, I'm afraid this island is not that simple." ”
Darko and the others were stunned when they heard this, after listening to Otto's introduction, they already knew that this hunting island was not simple, but they didn't know what Wendy meant by it again at this time.
"The island is shrouded in wind listening, and every conversation we have is being monitored, and only by communicating in a voice-transmitting way, like me, can we avoid being monitored. ”
Wendy's words made everyone nervous all of a sudden, and no one expected that she was being monitored all the time. It's not that their communication involves any important secrets or privacy, but that this sheer range of auxiliary spells is astounding in itself.
The magic that can envelop the entire island has even exceeded the forbidden spell, and it is more of a realm than a magic. Although the range and power of a spell are not exactly proportional, to some extent, it is at least a partial indication of the caster's control over the corresponding law.
Wendy saw the shock and incredulity in everyone's eyes, and explained, "I'm afraid that this Wind Listening Technique involves the power of the law level, forming an enchantment, or a realm-like existence. It has been completely integrated into this side of the world, and it is difficult to be noticed, and it was only when I was casting a spell with my breath wings that I discovered its existence by using the resonance of the qi element. ”
Just when everyone was still thinking, a mellow male voice suddenly came from the forest, "You can actually break through the first three floors all the way, and among the illegal intruders, you can be regarded as a very good performer." ”
Following the prestige, I saw five people of different shapes walking out of the forest, and the one who spoke was a man with a hooked nose in the center, who had a deep pair of eyes, and from time to time wandered between Darko and the others.
Otto frowned imperceptibly when he heard this, "What do you mean, Deputy Island Master? Our ship was attacked by a group of spear and sea urchins and was forced to run aground on the west coast of the hunting island. It's just that you didn't enter through the main entrance on the east side, and you just need to pay for the ticket, so what do you mean by illegal entry?"
"Make up the ticket? What kind of place do you think about this hunting island? Come and leave as you want? Since you don't go through the gate, it is equivalent to ignoring the rules of the hunting island, and you should make up for it, it's this contract! Hahaha......" The hook-nosed man casually threw out a piece of parchment, and from the words on it, it was a contract.
There is no need to read the content, Darko and the others also know that this is a contract that the prey of the hunting island needs to sign. Including strict hierarchical stratification, no unauthorized departure from the island without a ticket, etc., are all limited by this paper contract.
Seeing that this man wanted them to become the prey of the island, Phyllis laughed angrily, "Haha, that's a great idea, but I want to see why you made me sign this contract." ”
"On the hunting island, this is the rule that is followed, and as for what you foreign intruders should do, it's up to us to decide, because the five of us are the deputy island owners here!" A strong man with a thick beard on the right also showed no mercy, and seemed to have eaten Darko's team.
"You may think it's unreasonable, but for us, the rules here are absolute, everything in this hunting island makes up the law of Shura as we understand it, and anyone who destroys it must pay a price. A gentleman-like young man on the left explained unhurriedly, as if he were reasoning with someone else.
Wendy, who had always admired freedom and was extremely disgusted by such extreme rules, was a little annoyed when she heard this, and she said with some annoyance, "For the sake of a law that you understand, you can take so many people as prey and put them on the island to fight each other without humanity? What do you think you are? Are you a god?"
"I've never had prey fight each other, it's the prey themselves who make that decision. The hunter and the prey are not static, and constantly facing the hunt of the hunter is just to provide a pressure on the prey. Under this pressure, the prey can choose to cooperate against the hunters, or they can choose to unite against the ruling class of our hunting island. But with a few exceptions, they all chose the most brutal one. This is the prisoner's dilemma, where everyone makes the wisest choice for the individual, but the most stupid on the whole. The second on the left hand hand was a blonde woman who shook her index finger without moving, "In this world, everything is decided by the strong." I'm stronger than all of you prey, so I can keep the entire hunting rules running. Also, you're right...... For us, we are our own gods. ”
Otto was stunned when he heard this, his lips were open, but he couldn't speak. He and the other prey did not think about what the other party said, but for various reasons, they gave up. It is impossible for the prey to unite against the owner, let alone cooperate against the hunters, and as soon as a ticket is presented, the prey will immediately start fighting desperately. Violence, like a plague, spreads at such a rapid pace that no one is immune to it. It is precisely because of the selfishness of each person that in the end everyone embarks on the most difficult path, which leads to a single-plank bridge, and only one person in a group can be saved.
Kevin kept an eye on Otto's expression, and when he saw this, he knew that he was being reminded of the past, so he didn't want to drag it any longer, or he was afraid that he would fall into the trap of the other party.
"It seems that our values are really different, it's useless to talk too much, let's do it!" Kevin's voice didn't fall, and with a wave of his hand, a piece of magma gushed out under the feet of the opposite side, leaving no room for maneuver.
Darko and the others adjusted their positions when the five people on the opposite side appeared, ready to fight at any time, and the seemingly negotiation with the opposite side was actually a process of observing the strength of the other party. At this time, since a consensus could not be reached, it was natural to resort to force, so Kevin started the group, and the rest immediately followed and attacked.
The other five were obviously prepared, and when Kevin's magic power fluctuated as soon as there was a fluctuation in his body, they quickly pulled back, and then outflanked Darko and the others in a roundabout way. The blonde woman was the fastest, and she fluttered like a wisp of green smoke, making it impossible to tell where she actually was.
"Oops, she's an all-sensitive assassin!" Darko reminded the others beside him loudly that assassins were one of the most restrained classes for a mage-heavy roster like theirs.
The Assassin woman had thought the same thing, and when she saw the mage robes on Darko, Kevin, Phyllis, and others, she had already considered them to be on her plate. For her, except for Wendy, who can fly into the air, the other mages are crispy skins that can be killed in one move.
The Assassin woman had made a detour, ready to bypass Otto to cut the mage behind, but she soon realized that she was wrong, and although the defense battle on the other side kept his eyes on the entire battlefield, no matter how she detoured, the other party was firmly in front of her by not moving quickly.
Otto's approach also aroused the ferocity of the assassin woman, thinking that if you are a defender, I will not be able to kill you? In the past, there have been many warriors who have suffered a lot because they underestimated her, and there are not a few warriors who have died at her hands.
The Assassin woman ignored the mage in the back row, and instead kept cruising around Otto's side. With Otto's speed, there was no chance to attack her, and attacking rashly would only expose his flaws. The Assassins continued to move around Otto, but Otto remained immovable, occasionally quickly adjusting his posture and fine-tuning his shield, always able to block the Assassin's fatal blows.
Gradually, the speed of the assassin woman became faster and faster, and it became more and more difficult for Otto to block, the assassin suddenly made a gesture to stab on the side, Otto will block, and a trace of cunning flashed in the assassin woman's eyes, but her body flashed behind Otto, and the dagger had already stabbed Otto in the back of the neck.
Just when she thought she was about to succeed, a gray-green halo suddenly enveloped her surroundings, and she suddenly noticed that her speed had dropped a lot, and the killing blow was missed. At the same time, Otto's shield also fanned from the side, and the woman hurriedly retreated, and the shield only hit her shoulder. She took advantage of the momentum to fly out, leaving the enveloping range of the exchange halo before realizing that her speed had returned.
"Domain!" An incredible look flashed in the assassin woman's eyes, domain can be said to be a talent, or it can be regarded as a skill that has nothing to do with rank and strength, some people have a domain at a lower level, while some saint-level powerhouses do not have a domain.
Otto is in the dark channel, but it is a pity that he has not used the domain, and he originally planned to yin the other party, but after all, the characteristics of the domain are there, and at the same time that the assassin is slowed, Otto's own speed has also decreased, so he was escaped by the other party. In this way, the blonde woman did not dare to approach again, and Otto could not catch up with the other, and the two were at a stalemate.
While Otto was entangled with the Assassin woman, the two sides began to fight each other from afar. As soon as Kevin's magma technique was finished, he saw a large area of blood-colored brilliance surging up, sweeping in his direction, and it was the gentleman-like man who made a move.
I saw that the man's body had been shrouded in a layer of blood-colored light, and he was a shadow priest. A blood-red shield blocked the magma beneath his feet, and dozens of tentacle-like lights and shadows spread around his body, and he launched an attack on Kevin with teeth and claws. Dark Pastor is a class to restrain mages, and for Kevin, he must not only cast spells as quickly as possible to attack, but also constantly change his spell casting rhythm to prevent being interrupted by the silence of the other party.
Kevin's spells are certainly numerous and fast, but the Shadow Priest on the opposite side, under the influence of the vampire's touch and the vampire's embrace, has been resisting Kevin's magic, and at the same time, his spell casting speed is not slow, even faster than Kevin. Pain, horror, chaos, void, evil, one by one, the secret words are mixed with the attack spells and constantly apply negative states, making people unguardable.
Kevin tried his best to dodge what he could, and if he couldn't, he pushed it down, gritting his teeth and carrying the negative state to consume with the opponent. His flame magic is also very uncomfortable for the other side, as long as it is rubbed to the edge, it will trigger the burn effect, causing continuous damage and slowing. The Shadow Priest also gradually became more and more solemn from the beginning of his leisurely stroll, apparently realizing that he had met an opponent this time.
At this time, the most depressed was Phyllis, who thought that she would be able to crush the other side by summoning the undead army, but soon she realized that she was wrong. The man with the hooked nose continued to shoot out a miserable white brilliance in his hands, not only purifying her undead creatures a lot, but even the remnants of the spell of the divine aura made her extremely uncomfortable, and even the casting speed slowed down a lot.
Phyllis could never have imagined that there would be a holy priest on such a remote island. When Phyllis was usually in the Dark Church, the Holy Priest of the level of the Church of Light opposite was at least the bishop level and would not confront her, but now that she was in the sub-plane of Venus, she encountered this situation, which made her very uncomfortable.
Darko was greeted by a tall elf, whose size swelled instantly, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a large bloated bird, resembling an enlarged version of a quail, but with antlers on its head. Darko immediately recognized it as a wildling, a balanced druid. The druid did not immediately attack after transforming, but the right wing shrank inwards slightly, and a wave of spell fluctuations brewed in it.
Darko was about to cast a spell when he suddenly stopped, hurriedly took a step back, and then spun in circles, his body moving in an invisible arc. Then he silently recited an ice spell and threw it in front of the balanced druid with a super-distance lock.
The balanced druid was stunned for a moment, and even forgot to dodge the Ice Spell, and was shivering from the cold. What he was trying to cast was the Eclipse Cycle, which was a succession of spells in Starsurge, Starfall, and Summoning Treants, a constant spell that would be a headache for any class. Due to Darko's position, his mental power was barely able to lock onto the edge. And Darko's backward and turn-arc moves perfectly dodged the starsurge and starfall spells that he was about to cast, which surprised him. This shows that Darko on the opposite side clearly understands every skill combo of his class, and it seems that this battle cannot be easily won.
What the Balanced Druid didn't guess was that Darko was actually not familiar with the Balanced Druid's skills, and it was only when he locked it at a super distance that he combined his own mental power with the Pupil of Cause and Effect, and combined with the opponent's mental power fluctuations, he deduced the location and range of the spell he wanted to cast. This is also because the mental power of the balanced druid is very powerful, otherwise the mental power of other people, Dakko would not be able to perceive it so accurately, let alone judge the other party's intentions.
Wendy condescendingly saw the whole battle situation, raised his hand and surrounded him with dozens of wind blades, and prepared to support Phyllis first. However, after her wind blade flew some distance, it was blocked by a huge sword shield. The strong man who stood beside the druid, who had never said a word from beginning to end, held the sword and shield firmly in his hand, stared at Wendy with his head up, and said without fear, "Your opponent is me!"
All-Min Assassin vs. Otto, Sword and Shield Warrior vs. Wendy, Doommancer vs. Kevin, Holy Priest vs. Phyllis, Balanced Druid vs. Darko. Five battles were fought in this forest at the same time, and the roar of violent spells resounded throughout the hunting island.
