Chapter 509: Wolf Hunting

When Xu Ran realized that he was dreaming, it was a group of people walking in the woods in the mountains in broad daylight, and there were about forty or fifty people; According to the observation of the character style, Xu Ran judged that there should be five gamers, and the rest seem to belong to that kind of NPC in the game.

Those NPCs should belong to 4 classes in terms of the weapons they are equipped with, namely sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, stick soldiers, and archers. Xu Ran and the other five did not hold weapons in their hands.

Judging from the dress, this era should be similar to the feudal era of China; The personnel are covered with leather protective gear outside their clothing, not only shoulder pads, arm pads, and chest pads, but also leather protective hats on their heads; As for the weapons, they should all be iron weapons. There are also two dogs in the procession, each guided by two gamers, taking turns to find their way in front of the queue, as if looking for something.

The trees here are sparse, mixed with some flowers and plants, and the cries of birds and birds can be heard from time to time; gives Xu Ran the feeling that except for some novelties, the difference from what he sees in reality is not very big. At this time, a whistle sounded in front of him, and a female player next to Xu Ran said to Xu Ran: "Boss, there is a situation, I'll go ahead and take a look." ”

Xu Ran replied: "Let's go and have a look." As he spoke, the four men who were in the middle of the procession rushed forward together. Xu Ran in the dream was very surprised at this moment; The language of the conversation between them, Xu Ran affirmed that he had never heard it, but he could understand it; In addition, the reply he said in the dream just now was not what he wanted to say, because he was surprised at the time and didn't think about answering, which was another point that Xu Ran was surprised by: it was as if he had a second personality in the dream, and this second personality could still dominate in the dream.

Xu Ran tried to let himself walk slower, without reflection, walking faster, but still without changing, allowing himself to stop, make movements, and speak, but none of the intentions could produce results. Xu Ran understood that in his dream, he was just a spectator, who could only witness and could not actively participate in the interaction; Xu Ran was also confused: "Why can I interact with my dream role independently?" This can't be my second personality. This situation made Xu Ran very entangled, don't be schizophrenia.

When Xu Ran and the four of them came to the front of the queue, there were several NPC soldiers who had already been set up in a state of alert; A male player in charge of exploring the path in front said to Xu Ran: "Big brother, there should be a situation ahead, the hounds are very frightened, if you can't get it, it's the wolves we are looking for" Xu Ran turned his head and said to another male player: "Leopard Head, you take your people to the front to explore, bring the two hounds, don't go more than 50 meters into the woods, no matter whether there is a situation or not, they will return again." Then he turned his head and said to the people; Let's set up the defense first. As the character's perspective turned, Xu Ran in the dream could see that the mountain they were in was relatively gentle, and the forest was scarce; But the leopard's head is further on, and the place to be explored is a forest, and the density of trees there is four or five times denser than here.

The team led by the leopard head is about ten NPCs, all of which are sword and shield soldiers. Xu Ran also has about 10 sword and shield soldiers, 10 spearmen, 10 stick soldiers, and 10 archers; At this time, these NPCs also lined up in a defensive formation, and the 10 archers stood in their own rows, which were the third row of the NPC soldier queue, and Xu Ran and a female player stood separately behind this row of archers. The other 30 NPC soldiers were lined up in two rows on the perimeter; Among them, the sword and shield soldiers are on the outermost side, and the spearmen and club soldiers are behind the sword and shield soldiers, and they are arranged in a second row in blocks; The other male and female players are standing separately behind the second row. Xu Ran didn't understand two points: the positions of dozens of NPCs are very bit of a formation, but during the whole process, I didn't hear any players give orders, so is this a fixed formation of NPC soldiers? On the other hand, several players have not been equipped with weapons until now, so they are not ready to fight with their bare hands. The leopard head led 10 sword and shield soldiers, already in the forest, about 50 meters forward, there was obviously a situation in the forest, the two hounds were at the moment vigorously, loud dog barking, but they were reluctant to move forward, obviously in front, there was something that frightened the hounds; However, the reason for the dangerous situation, Xu Ran in the dream still hasn't seen it.

The head of the leopard had already begun to turn around and walk back with 10 NPCs and hounds, they began to walk very slowly, and when they returned 10 meters, there was still no response in the forest, except for the hounds barking back from time to time. The leopard's head and his party began to pick up their pace noticeably, and when they were about 10 meters away, a piercing wolf howl was heard in the woods, and a large group of vicious wolves sprinting forward appeared in the forest. The leopard head and his party are now 30 meters away from the edge of the forest, 80 meters away from the defensive circle arranged by Xu Ran, and the forward of the wolf pack is about 60 meters away from the leopard head. When the wolves began to charge, Xu Ran's defensive circle already had 5 spearmen, 5 sticks, and 5 archers began to rush forward, except for the player Xu Ran who stayed in place, the other three players also began to rush forward; The head of the leopard, with the NPC soldiers who followed him, also began to run back; Player Xu Ran whistled, and the two hounds had already run back to the player Xu Ran first.

When the leopard head and his party ran to the edge of the forest, the wolves had already chased closer, and the two sides immediately began to engage in hand-to-hand combat; The 10 NPC Blade and Shield Soldiers twisted and fought with the wolves, and the Leopard Head was already behind the Blade and Shield Soldiers, on guard and facing them. When the five archers ran to a distance of 20 meters from the edge of the forest, they began to stand and shoot arrows into the forest. Each archer takes about 5 seconds and can shoot an arrow; There was a female player who stood calmly behind the archer. The other two players and 10 spearmen and stickmen, when they ran to the edge of the forest, the leopard head and his party had already fought the wolf ** round. The leopard himself had slain two wolves that had pounced on him with his bare hands; Player、Still fighting,This player's martial arts should be boxing,Whenever one arm blocks the wolf's fluttering forelimbs,The other punch is either smashed on the back of the elite wolf or hit the stomach of the elite wolf,Because the arm is wearing a leather arm guard,Occasional bite by the wolf does not hurt much,About 1 minute of fighting,At this time, the blood volume of the elite wolf is about 50,This player grabs with his left hand、The left front paw of the elite wolf,The right arm continues to slam,The stomach of the elite wolf is more than a dozen times,And then the right fist shines on the side of the waist of the elite wolf、 Slam a punch to wipe out the elite wolf's HP. This player's HP has dropped by about 5 points. At this time, the wolf king howled again, and the wolves that were fighting fiercely in front of him began to retreat and rearrange their formation; In this hand-to-hand encounter, the wolves died two elite wolves and more than a dozen ordinary wolves.

There are two more NPCs with 15 HP on the leopard head's side, and 5 are slightly more than 10, and 3 are close to 5. Each of the 10 Spearman NPCs has between 15 and 20 HP. The health of 10 archers remains unchanged. As the wolves rested, the personnel arrangement on Xu Ran's side was also adjusted, and Xu Ran said to the female player in charge of the stick soldiers: "Mingyue, you take your people and the spear to change positions." Mingyue smiled and said, "Received."

There were more than forty or fifty wolves in front of them; As the second wolf howl sounded, twenty or thirty wolves rushed out from each side, and these wolves were outflanking Xu Ran and the others, obviously trying to surround this group of people. The player's side was obviously prepared, and he had already prepared, only to see the ten sword and shield soldiers around Xu Ran first separate to the two sides, and then the spearmen, stick soldiers, and archers in front of him also began to deploy on both sides, and the defensive formation around Xu Ran also moved forward in order to meet the leopard head and others.

Xu Ran in the dream could feel that the 10 sword and shield soldiers around him acted very flexibly when they were deploying on both sides, and the spearmen, sticks, and archers around him were very mechanical when they were deploying on both sides, probably because there was no player to command nearby. The whole defensive formation, which had evolved into a semicircle at this time, was still the first row of sword and shield men, the third row of archers, and the spearmen and club men each defended half of the semicircle in the second row. The leopard's head retreats in a very unique way, he is facing the wolves, his back to retreat, he led the 10 sword and shield soldiers are running back towards the wolves, if there is a wolf close to the back, can always turn back in time to defend, and can cooperate with each other, it looks really well-trained.

When the leopard head and his party converged with Xu Ran and the others, the wolves had already surrounded Xu Ran and the others, and they had not launched an attack for the time being; Player Xu Ran and others and the NPCs led by them have already discharged a circular formation at this time, with a diameter of 11 or 2 meters in the outer ring, 20 sword and shield soldiers standing in the outermost circle, and the second circle is 20 spearmen and stick soldiers each defending half of the area, and the distance from the first circle can be 2 meters; The third circle is 10 archers, and the distance from the second circle is another 2 meters; Xu Ran and the other five people were scattered and stood in the innermost part.

Although the wolves did not attack again, the archers took up their positions and began to shoot arrows at the approaching wolves. At this time, a small group of wolves came out of the forest, led by an oversized, golden-haired wolf, which could be the size of an adult leopard that Xu Ran had seen in the zoo, and judging by its style, it was obvious that it should be the king of wolves; Behind it, followed by 10 iron-gray wolves, which are also one size larger than ordinary wolves, obviously belonging to elite wolves; The hundred and ten wolves surrounding Xu Ran and the others have earthy yellow hair, and they are naturally classified as ordinary wolves by Xu Ran in the dream, but their body size is also larger than the adult wolves Xu Ran has seen in the zoo, and they look strong and solid.

Xu Ran can now see the blood bar readings of these wolves, the wolf king is 150, the elite wolf is 100, and the full value of ordinary wolves is 50; Now some ordinary wolves have less than 20 health bar readings. The NPCs and blood bars on Xu Ran's side all read 30, and the sword and shield soldiers who were injured just now had only more than 10 points with the least amount of blood; Several players have a health bar reading of 120 for the Leopard Head and the female player commanding the archers, the other two players have 110 health, and Xu Ran's own is 150. The two hounds also have 30 health. Xu Ran in the dream, this will be more certain: 'The scene in the dream is set as a game scene. All the people here, including the animals, each displayed a corresponding health bar reading value in the air next to their bodies, which was the typical style of a game character that Xu Ran had seen. The wolf king stood and stared at everyone for a while, and then with a low wolf howl, the six elite wolves left the wolf king and scattered into the wolf pack, opening up to drive ordinary wolves to form a team. With another howl from the wolf king, the front facing the leopard head, two elite wolves led thirty or forty wolves to start attacking, the ten sword and shield soldiers led by the leopard leader had gathered together to meet the enemy, another male player led 10 spearmen also began to go up to support, the female player who led the archers also led 10 archers to come forward to help, Xu Ran and another female player, led the remaining 10 sword and shield soldiers and 10 stick soldiers, and guarded the remaining wolves in other directions behind; At this time, the female player who led the stick soldier had already held a 2-meter-long stick in her hand; The size of the circle of defense has not changed.

The two elite wolves who led the charge led the way to the front, and the leopard head and another male player had split up on the side of the formation, each facing an elite wolf and fighting; The martial arts of the leopard head may be related to the grappling technique, he is facing the elite wolf with both hands forward, when he grabs the two front paws of the elite wolf, he will not let go, he grabs the wolf claws with both hands and keeps making movements, and the body moves easily with the momentum of the elite wolf, and the wolf head of the elite wolf stretches forward, but it never reaches his limbs; But seeing the body of the elite wolf, the shock stiffened, the leopard head let go of the wolf's claws with both hands, grabbed the wolf's head against the inertia of the wolf's body, and twisted it in reverse, and when the hands were released, the elite wolf had fallen to the ground and died.

The leopard head kills the wolf for about 5 seconds, and when they fight, the ordinary wolf is already fighting with the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen. It's just that the combat movements of the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen are obviously not as smooth as when the player is standing behind them; I can't see that there are mutual and action cooperation, as if they are all conditioned reflex actions, and the sense of self-protection is not strong. The archers, under the care of the female players, are fighting with a clear eye; It's just that the rate of fire of the bow and arrow is too slow, and the lethality is limited, and I can't see the situation of killing the wolf with one arrow.

After the leopard head killed the elite wolf, the movements of the sword and shield soldiers began to return to normal, and they began to cooperate and take care of the spearmen. But even at this moment, the HP of the 10 sword and shield soldiers has dropped a lot, and the one with the least blood volume is only 5, and this sword and shield soldier is also arranged in the back row as an auxiliary, instead of being the main force and placed in the front row. Xu Ran in the dream was indeed puzzled, he really didn't hear the player's verbal tactical commands, was this the default tactical coordination, or was it an order given directly through consciousness? However, considering that it was a dream, it was reasonable, if it was not reasonable.

Another player who fights with the elite wolf、Still fighting,This player's martial arts should be boxing,Whenever one arm blocks the wolf's fluttering forelimbs,The other punch is either smashed on the back of the elite wolf or hit the elite wolf's stomach,Because of the leather arm guard on the arm,Occasional wolf bite does not hurt much。
