Chapter 15: Nightmare Difficulty: The Gnoll Pursuit
Returning to the tower, Sherlock re-enters the practice arena and chooses the forest scene to begin testing different transformations.
Before, the beckoning cat said that these were several garbage skill books, and it is indeed impossible to say that it is not wrong, just look at their names to know how much courage it takes to use these skills.
Natural transformation - stone lizard
Nature-Transformed - Swamp Giant Frog
Natural Transformation - Iron Spine Pig
The transformation forms of the druids in the Forgotten Realms can be said to be strange, but they are all barely within the range of player acceptance, and each form is obviously carefully designed, although it is not much different from the original creatures overall, but some details have been properly beautified and adjusted.
These three natural transformations, Sherlock is most optimistic about the Iron Spine Pig, and there is also an introduction to this form on the forum, high life coefficient and extremely high defense are currently one of the best tank-type forms, but the druids generally said that they couldn't accept this form, and the stone lizard and the swamp giant frog were the same, so he only used more than 100 gold to receive these three skill books for experiments.
Not to mention the full form of the stone lizard and the iron ridge pig, the effect of the semi-natural transformation is decent but also has its own strengths, whether it is the stone skin of the stone lizard or the damage rebound of the iron ridge pig is quite good, but it does not satisfy Sherlock.
The only exception is the swamp giant frog form, which was originally bought cheaply at a low price of 30 gold, and the 30% resistance to water elemental spells and the bouncing skill in the full form can only be said to be somewhat useful, but the semi-natural transformation form gave Sherlock an unexpected surprise.
Semi-natural Transformation - Swamp Giant Frog: Reduces physical consumption during transformation, and mastering skills focuses on vision.
Single-minded vision: You have a sharper sense of observation at a given target, but at the same time, you become sluggish to react to things other than the target, and your physical exertion doubles when you turn it on.
To put it simply, Sherlock's eyes can see the subtle movements of a mage in the distance when casting a spell and the change in the shape of his lips when chanting a spell, but he may have ignored the nearby warriors who are swaggering over.
This skill may seem to have its pros and cons, but it's hard to imagine how effective it can be in a solo fight, and being able to see your opponent's movements clearly means you'll be able to respond first, so you can dodge and attack with ease.
Without hesitation, Sherlock gave the second transformation position to the transformation of the Swamp Frog, and the only thing that made him a little difficult to accept was the form of the Swamp Giant Frog after its transformation.
Although he did not grow frog legs and frog hands or even turned into a frog head, his pupils would become a flat oval, his entire eye socket was also covered with blue stripes, and his body was also covered with blue swirl patterns, which looked very weird, compared to the half-cat form that looked sexy and mysterious, this half-frog form was really a bit miserable.
After having two transformation positions, Sherlock also found one thing when transforming, he can directly switch between two different semi-natural transformation forms, you must know that after normal natural transformation, he loses most of the skills of human form, and of course he can't directly transform into other forms, but he doesn't have this limitation, it can only be said that this talent is far from as simple as it seems.
Bite! You receive a message prompt. At this time, it is estimated that there is something to find himself, and Sherlock clicked on the message.
"Sherlock, are you free now?"
"What's the matter, boss."
"Everyone is here, if you have time, come to the south gate, let's get to know each other first."
"It's just the evening, I'll be there right away." Sherlock walked out of the fighting tower after replying to the message, and although the client politely asked if he was free, the other party told him the location, and it would be a little uninteresting if you didn't go.
System Prompt: You have joined the team of Sword Extraordinary, and the item distribution mode is assigned to the captain.
There are three ways to distribute items to teams in the Forgotten Realms: free pickup, that is, whoever gets it belongs to whom; Random assignment, that is, the roll point; Needless to say, the captain assignment is not to be said.
The ID of the client entrusted this time is called Jian Bufan, a warrior.
The other members of the team are Orr, the priest, and the thief.
When he saw the names Huifeng and Muruxi, Sherlock was visibly stunned, these two names were not simple, if it was really the two people he guessed, then the difficulty of this mission would have to be increased by two levels.
By the time Sherlock arrived at the south gate, the other four had already arrived.
"Sherlock?" Jian Bufan recognized Sherlock who was approaching, and took the initiative to step forward and ask.
"It's me, I've been waiting for you for a long time." He took the initiative to come forward and say hello, observing the rest of the people by the way.
At this time, an elf standing on the side looked at it for a while, and then also stepped forward to greet Sherlock: "It's really you, Xiao Xia, I didn't expect us to take the same commission again." ”
"Brother Huifeng, I didn't expect you to remember me." At this time, of course, Sherlock also recognized who the person was, Hui Feng, a good old man in the first-class professional circle, a professional assistant, and a professional broker.
When he was young, he was also a good hand in the first-class professional circle, especially playing auxiliary professions, although his skills are declining when he is older, but with the extensive contacts he made back then and a water-grinding temperament, he is still very open in the circle.
Sherlock brushed a high-level boss with him in a game called Tomahawk.,As a deputy T.,I had a few exchanges with him.,At that time, I was instantly conquered by the other party's personality charm.,Afterwards, I also added a friend to ask about the other party's first-class professional circle.,The other party was very patient and answered in detail.,He was very moved.。
"How can I not remember, when I fought the boss that time, your several operations were very exciting, I always thought that if I had the opportunity to take you into the first-class professional circle." Hui Feng said with a slight smile.
"I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly." Sherlock touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, it is undoubtedly a matter of pride for him to be affirmed by an old-timer in a professional circle like Hui Feng, although the other party is just polite, but it is not easy to have this qualification to be polite.
Just as Sherlock and the others were catching up, a hoarse voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"Hey, hey, hey, Uncle Huifeng, now is not the time to catch up with the old days, hurry up and brush up on the dungeon, I have to go offline to sleep, do you know how much it hurts a girl to stay up late?"
Following the sound, Sherlock noticed the halfling female player Mu Ruxi, who was only half as tall as himself, guessed the identity of the other party in his heart, and asked in disbelief, "You can't be that Mu Ruxi, right?" ”
"Yo,I haven't seen a second person dare to call this name in the game.,Come on, come on.,Add a friend first.,Whoever you want to kill in the future Just contact me.,Regardless of men or women.,You can kill as much as you want.,I'm very professional.。
Sherlock smiled wryly and exchanged IDs with Muruki, too, how could he ask such a stupid question.
The fame battle of the sadistic demon Mu Ruxi was caused by this ID being preemptively registered by a third-rate female anchor, and at that time, this incident ended with her counterkilling Musk, who was known as the top ten gods of war at the time, and forced the female anchor to delete the number.
If Muruki is a man, then despicable and shameless obscenity is synonymous with his whole life, and it is not destined to be accepted by mainstream players (including professional players), but it is different if she is a female gamer, even if her appearance can only barely be called an ordinary level.
The gaming world, especially in the professional gamer circle (except for female players), has a very high tolerance for female players with good skills, and many great gods strongly reprimanded Mu Ruxi for this behavior, but the relationship with her in private was not too good, and even Musk, who was humiliated by her, once pursued her.
"Okay, now that the people are here, I won't talk about the honorarium, and it will be automatically transferred to your account after completing the task, and the items obtained in the process will be distributed equally, no opinion." Jian Bufan paused and saw that everyone had no objections, so he continued: "I have already used the communication crystal, and the quest NPC will be able to arrive tomorrow morning, now let's brush the dungeon first to get acquainted." ”
There is still no objection, the request to play a copy first is actually not in the content of the commission, but everyone tacitly agreed, after all, Jian Bufan is just polite, and everyone understands the meaning of the words.
Although both Huifeng and Muruki are masters who have been famous for many years, the situation of each game is different, especially the Forgotten Realm has made such a big change in the setting, and it is still necessary to actually test the combat power.
And the rest of the people also have the idea of observing the level of their teammates, not afraid of god-like opponents are afraid of pig-like teammates, with such a high reward, the difficulty of this task will not be low, so after a few people prepared for a while, they went out of town and walked towards the Supreme Forest.
Not far from the south gate of Sequoia is the Supreme Forest, the continent's most extensive forest and home to all woodland races, including the Feathers, Centaurs, Drow, Gnores, Gnomes, Centaures, Moon Elves, Pickers, Half-Sheep, Treants, and more.
Redwoodtown is located on the northeastern edge of the Supreme Forest, and this area is inhabited by many gnoll tribes, and a level 10 five-player dungeon gnoll pursuit is located on the outermost part of this area.
