Chapter 16: The Knicks' Suitcase (Part II)
Although Nicks enlisted the help of a large number of adventurers in Windmill City to retrieve the suitcase for him to go to the ravecoraptor's lair, only a few managed to make it back.
The main reason is that the Velociraptor is notoriously gregarious, and the location of the suitcase is also deep in the herd, which takes a lot of time if you attack from the front. Therefore, there are some adventurers in the player community who have already done this task, and they all say that the reward and effort of this task are not proportional, and if the recommendation index is based on a full score of five stars, this task is barely only 3 stars. With this experience, many adventurers naturally gave up.
However, there are still two kinds of people who are well worth the task. One is a thief or elf, so players with stealth skills can save a considerable part of their time, but it is best to find a companion to go with, otherwise it will be equally difficult to act alone. The second is that Knicks is a senior goblin engineer, and if you are an adventurer who intends to pursue a career as an engineer, it is worth spending half a day on this task, because Knicks can not only teach you a lot of engineering skills, but also recommend you to other excellent engineers.
Although Shi Yi has not yet decided what to choose for his deputy position, engineering is also a priority direction for him to consider, and he is an advantageous career for this task, so it is naturally worth trying.
The lociraptor's lair is in a small valley southeast of Windmill City, which was originally a small village, but due to the appearance of the Pillar Beast, the residents of this place have moved to Windmill City.
Near the valley, you can see the activity of the peripheral velociraptor beast from a distance, the level of this pillar beast is level 5-7, and the single combat ability is not outstanding, the trouble is their huddle ability.
Of course, they don't hug each other all the time, and pillar beasts also need privacy. Only when the velociraptor is in danger of its own life will it roar with a very special audio, calling all the brothers and sisters around it to help.
In this way, there are still ways to deal with them, as long as you kill the lone Velociraptor before it starts calling, and everything will be very simple.
"It's going to be a test of explosiveness."
Shi Yi groaned, and combined with all the skills he had, he quickly formed a plan in his mind.
With an idea, Shi Yi immediately entered a stealth state and slowly touched the valley.
On the outside of the valley, there are a lot of velociraptor beasts wandering, fortunately, they are not alert, their positions are scattered more randomly, there are many gaps for Shi Yi to shuttle, and low-level stealth techniques are easy to detect once they get close to the target, so even if they are invisible, they must always be vigilant and keep a distance from the enemy.
But as Shi Yi continued to go deeper, the velociraptor beasts in the valley were completely different from the red velociraptors outside, they were dressed in a palpitating white color, each with its own nest, and it was regularly scattered throughout the valley at regular intervals.
Shi Yi found a position with a high level to observe, and soon found the black suitcase described by Nix, fortunately, the location of the suitcase was not very deep, as long as he bypassed about six or seven white velociraptor beasts, he could get his hands.
Shi Yi felt a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, but he still took a deep breath and chose to move on. The cautious Shi Yi chose the safest route, which would be a little farther up, but there were many wild corn crops on the route, just enough to cover his whereabouts.
"Snort."
A white velociraptor beast suddenly woke up with its nose, turned its head from a long distance, and aimed at Shi Yi's location.
Shi Yi immediately stopped, he hadn't encountered this situation before, as long as he stood still, the pillar beast would relax his vigilance if he couldn't find his trace.
Only this time, the situation is different, the white velociraptor is obviously not comparable to the ordinary velociraptor sense, not only did it not relax its vigilance, but stood up, looking for the smell in the air step by step towards the corn where Shi Yi was.
"Oh no, it's a pillar beast with the ability to detect invisibility."
Shi Yi finally confirmed where his uneasiness came from, but his movement speed in the invisible state had already been greatly reduced, and it was impossible to escape at this time.
I saw Shi Yi's legs bent slightly and slowly leaned down in front of him, his left leg in front, his right leg in the back, the center of gravity moved forward to the left leg, and at the same time, the right foot was raised falsely, and the toes were on the ground, and the whole person was like a sharp arrow full of bows.
In the next second, with a handful of flying dirt under his toes, Shi Yi instantly rushed forward, and the dagger in his hand slashed a ray of cold light in the low air, and before the white velociraptor beast could react, it had already inserted into its left shoulder!
Thrust - This is one of the most basic and commonly used moves of the Dawn Mercenaries.
The white velociraptor beast roared angrily and immediately launched an attack on the intruder, Shi Yi coped with the attack while observing the surrounding situation, and when he saw that the nearest one more than twenty meters away did not seem to move, he was relieved to fight with the one in front of him.
"The mercenary's skill damage ability is really strong."
Seeing the blood volume of the pillar beast in front of him, Shi Yi couldn't help but praise, he had just used the Dawn Mercenary's skill Thrust for the first time, but he didn't expect to consume more than two percent of the white velociraptor beast's blood at once, and this amount of damage was already close to Shi Yi's strongest damage skill back attack.
However, you must know that the backattack requires a full 60 energy points, but the mercenary stab only needs 20 energy points, so in comparison, the cost performance of the spike is more and more reflected. This would explain why there are far more thieves joining the mercenaries now than the Sunset Tavern and the Assassin Alliance.
Of course, Shi Yi didn't care about these idle moments now, he was always paying attention to the state of the white velociraptor at all times, relying on his mediocre ordinary attacks, he had worn out nearly half of the target's HP. Although Shi Yi's HP dropped faster without using skills, he didn't panic at all when he looked at him, and even when his HP had dropped to 20%, he had no intention of changing his rhythm.
Finally, at this time, the white velociraptor beast, which had lost more than half of its health, couldn't hold it back at first, only to see it raise its head, and its throat shook regularly, as if it was about to send out some special signal.
"Hehe, I finally can't help but shout for help?"
The corners of Shi Yi's mouth raised, his light body jumped high, and he turned the dagger in his hand in mid-air, and smashed the root of the dagger on the head of the white velociraptor beast.
The velociraptor who was hit by the slam suddenly fell into shock, and taking advantage of this short few seconds, Shi Yi did not hesitate to open the new skill 'Wind Walk' that he had just started from the Sunset Tavern, and ran quickly towards the distance of the velociraptor back.
This time, Shi Yi didn't wait for the slightest recovery of his energy value, and as soon as he reached the dash distance required for the spur, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the velociraptor beast at high speed. It's just that on the way to sprint, Shi Yi quickly threw a yellow pill into his mouth.
The thrust was combined with a seamless backattack, and under the two extremely damaging skills, the white velociraptor beast fell to the ground with a thud before it could make a sound.
Shi Yi's battle plan was successful.
