Chapter Twenty-Three: Dream Tapirs
From the outside, the island looks like an ordinary uninhabited desert island, with a high mountain in the center and lush forests outside. What is strange is that there are no birds or insects in the woods, as if they have fallen into some kind of eerie dead silence, only the rustle of the sea breeze through the leaves, which looks mysterious and unusual in the night.
"Attention everyone, I'm going to introduce the rules." Asker clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"Next?" Good student Nora raised her hand, "What is the next book?" ”
"Let's start by clarifying a concept." In order to be more comfortable with his next command, Asker decided to instill some "player common sense" in everyone: "During the mission, we may explore certain dangerous areas, so we need to be vigilant at all times and stick to the team combat rules, which we call 'dungeons'. The act of entering the 'copy' is called the 'next copy'. ”
Strange noun...... Everyone looked at each other and remembered in their hearts.
"Next, pay attention to the difference between mobs and bosses." Asker continues to popularize the jargon to everyone, "Monsters are weak enemies." Bosses are powerful enemies. A dungeon is often composed of several bosses and a lot of mobs. The standard for fighting mobs is efficiency and the pursuit of no injury, and the standard for fighting bosses is to protect themselves. Of course, the most important thing is to obey orders and follow commands, understand? ”
"Understood." Everyone agreed in a sloppy manner.
"Medea." Asker snapped his fingers, "Open the team communication channel." ”
"Communication channel?" Medea wondered.
"Make a spiritual connection with me and others." Asker said.
Medea pursed her lips and established a spiritual connection with everyone. Immediately, everyone started chatting online:
"Is this telepathy?" Nola's voice sounded in everyone's heads, "Really! I just thought about it for a moment, and the voice automatically sounded in my head! ”
"I'll try it too!" Eleanor spoke along in the psychic communication, "Hello, Nola, how are you?" ”
"I'm fine!" Nora responded.
"Ahh Peggy starts to swipe.
"Don't make any noise!" Medea said angrily, "Too much communication is a great spiritual burden on me! ”
"Everyone is quiet, private chat is prohibited on the team communication channel." Aske spoke, "If anyone doesn't listen to orders, Medea you bann her...... It's to cut off her link. ”
Suddenly, there was silence in the channel.
"So be it." Aske said, "Eleanor, take your shield and go to the front. Peggy to the left, me to the right, Medea and Nora to the middle. Next, when encountering an enemy, Medea first casts a group psychic cue, telling them to direct their attacks towards Eleanor as much as possible. Eleanor, on her side, don't think about counterattacking, concentrate on holding the shield to block. ”
"Peggy kills the enemy from the left side, no armor or light armor is given priority, and heavy armor enemies are handed over to me. Nora paid attention to the battlefield situation throughout the whole process, focusing on taking care of Eleanor and recovering blood in time. Have you memorized them all? ”
"Nope." Everyone shook their heads one after another.
"Then I'll say it again......" Asker couldn't help but laugh. These are very simple dungeon knowledge, and players don't need to talk nonsense at all, but these girls in the team are all new. He repeated it twice, and everyone finally understood.
Eleanor is the best equipped defense on the team, so it's up to her to rush ahead and attract attacks. In order to ensure that the attack does not go off and hurt others, Medea is required to continuously apply psychic suggestion (also known as pulling directional hatred).
Without worrying about being attacked, Asker and Peggy can concentrate on output, one against lightly armored enemies and the other against heavy armored enemies. Nora is responsible for healing heal, which is known as the Pentagon Combat Model.
"Let's go when we remember clearly!" Asker waved his hand, "Speed up, move!" ”
So everyone set off in a hurry. The reason why it is chaotic is because the formation of the team is not strict, and people often go too fast or too slow and fall behind. If the opposite team is a team of professional players, you can basically seize the opportunity to chisel through the formation with a surprise attack, isolating and dividing the team.
However, compared to ordinary players, the discipline of the girls is still much higher, and as for the NPC mercenaries in this world, it is even more incomparable. Do NPC mercenaries have a tactical concept? Again, that's a problem.
Entering the woods, the crowd scanned around vigilantly and nervously. Since it was only 4 o'clock in the morning, the places in the depths of the woods that could not be illuminated by oil lamps were shrouded in deep and thick darkness, and for a while everyone even felt a little like they were all soldiers.
However, looking at the calm and calm behavior of the team leader, everyone was a little relieved. Just then, a gunshot rang out.
Asker had somehow pulled out Aphrodite and pulled the trigger behind the tree. A terrible scream rang out, and a figure was knocked out.
It was a transparent monster that began to bleed after being hit by a bullet, and its form gradually emerged. It has the size of a porcupine, with curled ears and long hair like thorns, but its mouth is a long, sharp tube that curls up and tightens like a whirlpool.
"Be careful, everyone, this is a dream tapir!" Medea voices a warning in the channel.
Eleanor immediately snorted. She remembered the legend her father had told her when she was a child, that this invisible supernatural creature would sneak into people's homes in the middle of the night and suck the brain marrow with its thin pipe.
Sometimes the victim will be awakened in their sleep, but despite being conscious, their bodies are unable to move, and they can only realize that they are presumably crushed by some invisible monster.
"Eleanor charges the shield strikes, Peggy stabs around the back, Medea hints!" Aske immediately gave the order.
Eleanor rushed forward with her shield, and the tapir quickly turned its head towards Eleanor at Medea's suggestion, and its long curly mouth suddenly stretched out like a chameleon, hitting Eleanor's steel shield hard.
The force of the long mouth was so great that Eleanor was even beaten back slightly, and the steel shield was almost out of her hand. In the next second, Peggy appeared behind it with a near-flash of high speed, and the short sword stabbed sharply into its hip.
The sword sank into the flesh, and the blood gushed like a fountain. The dream tapir stood up with hard thorns all over his body under the pain, and suddenly turned around and bitten. However, Peggy had been taught the essence of agile output, which was to "hit and move immediately", and had already run away at this point, not even holding the dagger stuck in it.
"Eleanor forward, the others retreat, Medea keeps the mind hinting!" Asker spoke quickly, and Aphrodite fired three shots in his hand, forcibly pulling the tapir's attention back with a new pain.
Eleanor took the opportunity to bully closer, and the shield in her left hand slammed into her shoulder, knocking the dream tapir back on the head, and the spear in her right hand rushed out like lightning, piercing into the opponent's soft abdomen.
Another loud bang. The dying nighttapir pops out its spiky mouth again, colliding violently with Eleanor's shield. At the same time, Peggy had already rushed behind the tapir, pulled out her short sword and stabbed her backhand.
The sore tapir was finally drained of the last trace of blood, and collapsed to the ground with a wail. The light blue supernatural power poured out of its body and disappeared - it was automatically absorbed by the five people present nearby, and became everyone's experience points.
The first battle was successful, and because it was the first time that they had successfully killed a transcendent creature, the girls were relieved and excited. Nora was the first to rush forward and slam the tapir's corpse with her mobile phone.
"Can I post in my social circles, Asker?" She turned to ask Asker, her big eyes full of hope.
"Shoot it." Asker couldn't laugh or cry. How are these girls' brain circuits completely different from those of the players? Shouldn't the drop be checked for the first time?
"If only it were in my father's domain." "Uncle John could make a specimen of it and hang it on the wall of the inner hall of the castle as a trophy," said Eleanor. ”
"It's a waste to make a specimen." Aske said, "The spiritual material on the dream tapir's body is the bottom skin of the longest hard thorn on its back, and the color will be lighter than the rest of the place. ”
"See." As she spoke, Peggy pulled out her dagger and grabbed the tapir's longest thorn, cutting off the skin ring and putting it up.
Nora had already taken a photo on her side, and the picture of the victory gesture to the corpse of the dream tapir was uploaded to the CM's social circle, and soon people began to like it.
"Our newcomer is very fierce, level1 killed the transcendent creature? Or is it a dream tapir? A user of the Life Sect left a message.
"Nola? Where exactly have you been? I didn't even call home for such a long time, and our dad was angry! This message appears to be from her older sister, who is nicknamed "Dawn's eldest daughter Capracille".
"Dream tapir? Someone who met a dream paradise, right? "This message is for Killian. Bonnate's.
Nora was about to ask what the "Dream Paradise" was, but Killian replied, "If you confirm that this dream tapir is not wild, I suggest you run away quickly." The Dream Heaven gang is crazy looking for the fragments of Heaven Mountain, and they bite and kill everywhere like mad dogs, and they can't be provoked. /Spot Wax/Point Wax"
"Asker, is Dream Heaven some kind of secret organization?" Nora looked up and asked Asker in confusion.
"It's a secret sect that is in charge of the dream sequence, and it has the bloodline route 'Dream Angel'." Aske said, "The dream sequence is the natural enemy of the desire sequence, and Medea will have to be careful later." ”
“???” Medea was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "My queen mother seems to have warned me before, you must be careful of the transcendents of the dream sequence outside. ”
"The Queen Mother?" The other girls turned back.
"Ah, it's not." Medea said casually, "I mean mother...... It's just a slip of the tongue. Then again, what should we do if it's really someone who dreams of heaven? ”
"What else can I do when it's all down?" Asker crossed his arms and said, "When the boss pushes it away." Let's review this battle first, there are still a lot of problems. ”
He went to the place where the dream tapir had first hidden, behind a large tree, turned back and said to the people:
"I fired the first shot. Here's the problem...... Why didn't Eleanor, who was at the forefront, find out? ”
"Ahem." Eleanor said with some embarrassment, "It's hiding in such a good place, it's sheltered by trees, it's not easy to see in the night, and it's stealthy on its own." ”
"You really can't be blamed for that." "Eleanor's task is mainly to focus on how to prevent sneak attacks around her. Otherwise, if you are killed at the beginning, you will not have to play the later dungeons. For enemies who are not attacking but are ambushed, it is impossible to devote more attention to discovering them. ”
"Nola, write it down." He stared at the tapir and said, "Our team, we need a scout next." ”
"Scouts, huh?" Nora wrote, "There needs to be a character who can scout the enemy." ”
"A ranger, a thief, or an assassin can be in charge of the entire battlefield and provide the team's early warning mechanism." "The second point, one of the problems that this battle has exposed, is that our output is still too weak. ”
"The Dream Tapir's attacks are very explosive, which means that Eleanor can't fight back at the same time when using her shield defense. Peggy is an agility output, the output curve is fluctuating, and my pistol's firepower is still thin. If we can have one more output, then when Peggy attacks backwards in the first round, she can flank back and forth, coordinate fire, and reduce the kill time by another double. ”
"So you're looking for an output, huh?" Nora also probably knew that "output" meant the person who caused the injury, "What kind of occupation do you need?" ”
"For a creature like the Dream Tapir, one more gunslinger is enough. I'm referring to professional gunners. "If the tapir's blood were thicker, we might not need a gunner, but a melee warrior armed with an armor-piercing weapon such as a thick axe or mace." ”
"Then recruit another gunner, a melee armor-piercing samurai." Nora quickly jotted it down.
"On rare occasions, if an enemy has high physical defense, such as a ghost, then we need an arcane mage." Aske concluded, "Until the roles are filled, I can be the gunner, and the mage can be Medea, with the focus on recruiting thieves and armor-piercing warriors. ”
