Chapter 31: What a Gift!
While it may not be comfortable at first with subtle skill rules that violate common sense in physics, once you get familiar with your skills, it's much easier for players to fight weirdness.
After all, in the absence of extraordinary strength, all you can do in the face of monsters is to jump and roll after slashing, not to mention that the fight is monotonous and boring, and the lack of means of attack and evasion is also very dangerous.
You must know that the way monsters fight in the real world is not as rigid as the AI in Monster Hunter...... What's more, even Monster Hunter has such a thing as a hunting skill......
After losing the first-mover advantage of hiding in the miasma and sneaking attack, the Dead King Spider was caught off guard by the players' skills, even though the level was higher than the players, it still died at the hands of the players.
After all, in the face of the endless skills of players, the almost instinctive combat experience cultivated by the Dead King Spider over the years not only failed to help, but also became a drag.
Coupled with the fact that the four of them are partners who came out of Kenwison Village together, and they have cooperated from the beginning, the combat skills can be said to be the undisputed 'high play' level among players at present, and as long as they are careful of the venomous chelicera of the Dead King Spider during the battle, they can easily grind it to death.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that each player had to hold a torch to dispel the miasma, the battle with the Dead King Spider would have ended much faster.
It was only after killing the Dead King Spider that the four players continued to set off that they realized a rather serious problem.
Although the visibility in the death miasma was a little higher than expected, about a dozen meters could be seen, it still gave people a foggy feeling, and beyond the visual distance, it was an eerie purple, and there was nothing that could be used to discern the direction.
It's almost impossible to find your way by terrain alone.
So after walking for a while, the four found that they were naturally lost.
In fact, if it weren't for the green blood stains left by the battle with the Dead King Spider on the ground, they wouldn't even have found themselves lost.
"It's not okay to go on like this," Dogan said in an extremely heavy tone with a calm face, "If we continue to spin around, maybe we will have to turn out the same way!" ”
The others also looked serious.
Seriously, if the group is wiped out in the Valley of the Dead, it can be said that it can be said that the hero who gave his life to explore this place can be said to be a hero.
But if you go around in it for a long time, and then you go out again, it's a little embarrassing......
"Even if you say that, there's nothing we can do," Qiao leaned his sword and sighed helplessly, "There is no sun or stars in this hellish place, not even a tree, and even the most seasoned hunter can't discern the direction in such a place." ”
"Why don't we carve arrows on the ground?" Alina suggested.
"It's useless, the ground here is quite soft, and with the undead roaming by from time to time, the traces we leave behind will soon disappear." Edward shook his head: "I also left a lot of traces when I fought with that big spider just now, but if it weren't for this bloodstain, none of us would have thought that this was actually the place where the battle just took place!" ”
"So what the hell should I do?" Dogan asked listlessly.
"Actually, I wondered from the beginning, why when the God of the Game opened this exploration opportunity of [Valley of the Dead: Periphery], it was marked that 3~6 players were required to team up." Edward touched his chin, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Besides, after I came in, I realized that the range illuminated by a torch can completely envelop all 6 people!" In other words, the condition of 'one torch per person' that was required at the beginning should be of little use other than to act as an admission ticket. ”
"The initial entry condition of 'one torch per person' is not just a deliberate attempt by the god of the game to waste our time and energy, after all, the god is wise and martial, and will never make such a boring and nasty trick. If I'm not mistaken, the requirement itself has to do with passing this quest! Edward told the other three of them his guess: "And if you follow this line of thought, you can find that some low-level undead wandering in the miasma of death seem to be quite afraid of the power of torches, and they will not easily approach torches when they are idle, so we can go so smoothly this way." ”
"Edward, what the hell are you trying to say?" Joe, who had developed limbs, was confused, but Elina and Goudan seemed to have a vague idea.
"I mean," said Edward, in a discreet tone of discovery of a great secret, "if we put our torches on the ground, would we be a signpost for our direction?" ”
The torch itself can dispel the miasma of death and illuminate one side, even if it is a hundred meters away, you can still see that little light in the fog, and ordinary undead will not take the initiative to attack the torch, in addition to ensuring that the torch will not disappear easily, there is also a certain degree of early warning function: once the torch disappears, it means that there is a relatively strong enemy in the rear!
In addition, the clearance condition of [Valley of the Dead: Periphery] each time is only to reach 1% of the exploration degree at that time, and there are no too strict combat requirements, so as long as you can walk out of a long enough effective distance.
"I see, Edward with the best brain!" Joe suddenly realized.
"That's right, if it weren't for you, Edward, we wouldn't have thought of such a solution." Dogan also said.
"Brother Edward is amazing!" Alina whispered cheers for Edward.
Edward himself scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "It's nothing, it's the gods, who can quietly hide this kind of clues and hints in the game text and during exploration." ”
And at this moment, Xiwei, who was far away in the Kingdom of God, looked at this scene and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Damn, he really didn't think about it that much......
Having one torch per person is really just a means of delaying and restricting players from entering the dungeon, and it doesn't make any sense at all. It's better to say that Sivi didn't even think that players would get lost in the miasma of death at first, after all, he used to have a minimap when he played games.
Even now, it is impossible for Sivi to come down to them and tell them that they have guessed wrong, and that the gods you believe in don't think so much.
So Sivi could only watch as the four people who came out of Kenwyson Village stuck their torches on the ground in turn as they continued to explore, not to mention that the route they took this time was quite straight.
It's a pity that when the last torch is used up, and the exploration degree is just 0.95%, the monster hidden in the miasma of death sneaks up on them.
Caught off guard, even the strongest Aliana couldn't escape, and the four of them rushed into the streets in turn, so the first wasteland team in the Valley of the Dead was completely wiped out.
When the few people were resurrected under the resurrection stone three days later, they saw that Mane, who had been resurrected before them, was fighting the players who did not dare to enter the Valley of the Dead.
"Let me tell you, the spider's fangs were long and sharp, and its eyes were big and round,......" and when he said that he was elated, he would gesture with his hand: "I was shocked by the tiger's body, my heart was broken, and I was ambushed!" ”
"Then why didn't you get on?" Someone coaxed.
"I'm on, it's a second, what's there to say!" Manna patted his thigh and said regretfully.
"I carved your horse for nothing!" Some players laughed.
"Can you call it for nothing!" Manegu was stiff-mouthed.
The players laughed, and there was a sense of joy next to the resurrection stone.
