Chapter 39: The Legend of the Ten Warriors (5)
Unlike monsters in other places, the monsters in the Death Mountains are not simply indiscriminate attacks, but have a certain degree of cooperation, will attack the same target with their companions, will cover their companions to retreat, and are like an army, organized and disciplined monster army.
Plague Zombies with their impressive defense and health use their thick bodies to charge forward, creating opportunities for their companions to absorb damage. With a group of weakened skills like the Plague Aura, they can continue to help their companions just by standing there.
The Skeleton Berserker with dual blades has a natural ability called Combo, which can deal two damages in one attack, and can easily deal huge damage with the Plague Zombie's defense reduction, bringing a huge threat to the fighters in the front row.
The nimble Undead Hound uses the body of its companion as a pedal to climb and jump on the battlefield, spanning a distance of more than twenty yards in a few ups and downs, jumping over the head of the outermost player and swooping down on the middle priest.
However, the players are not to be trifled with, and the undead hounds that leap into the clergy are thrown out one by one by the mage hands of several arcane mages.
Exquisite coordination, extraordinary awareness, superb technology, and luxurious logistics make the player's side advance and retreat even if they face opponents several times their own, and do not fall behind.
After the front row of the monsters mingled with the player, the thieves who were waiting for the opportunity also attacked the skeleton mage.
With three or four thieves working together, it only takes one round of attacks to kill a skeleton mage.
The thieves were not greedy either, and collectively used 'Escape' to evacuate the battlefield to avoid the subsequent counterattack of the skeleton mage.
In this way, they waited for the skill to cool down while looking for a suitable target to kill.
Although the killing efficiency is a little lower, and you can only kill two skeleton mages at a time, it is better to be safe.
In a concerted battle, the players were able to annihilate the nearly 200 monster army, while they only paid for the lives of four players.
Considering the comparison of the fighting power of the two sides, this can be said to be a brilliant victory.
Occasionally, they will encounter an army of hundreds or thousands of undead led by elite monsters. At this point, they will choose to turn around and look for other paths.
With the efforts of the Scouting Force, they are often able to avoid the troubles they can't afford to provoke, and then eat the weak undead troops.
After a thorough search by the five forces, it took them about three hours to locate a temple hidden deep in the Death Mountains.
And the first player to discover the temple even received a hefty reward of two points of prestige. Subsequent players may not be able to get this reward, but the fact that they discovered the temple still makes them scrappy.
After the coordinates of the discovered team were announced, the remaining four teams also quickly arrived.
However, due to the limited space inside the temple and the fact that there are too many of them, it is not conducive to the development of the team when they are barely gathered together.
After discussing with several leaders, it was decided that it would be better to let the teams disperse and explore, and not gather together.
The danger inside the temple is obviously a level higher than the outside, not only the level of monsters has been raised to level 14 or above, but there are even various dangerous traps.
These traps are so powerful that many of them have instant death effects, so even if a team of full-level players is here, they will end up in a team if they are not careful.
In the face of these powerful monsters and deadly traps, the casualties on the player's side are also extremely high.
When out there, they are able to destroy more enemies than they are by virtue of their skill, skill, and reflexes, at a small cost. But here, even if the enemy is smaller than them, they often have to pay huge casualties, and the casualty ratio even reaches the level of one to one.
If there are elite-level monsters in the opponent, then even if the number of opponents is much smaller than them, the casualty ratio will be two to one, and the average life of two players can be exchanged for the death of one monster.
This casualty ratio is obviously not what these elite players want to see, but they are powerless to stop it.
In the back, their first choice when they encountered monsters was no longer to set up a formation to fight, but to turn around and run away.
As for the other teams, not to mention, the other squads with an average strength inferior to them were almost completely dispersed, and even the full establishment was not left.
The unluckiest team of the four encountered an army of monsters equal to their own number and led by elite monsters in their first encounter, and then returned with no suspense, and in the end, only the two fastest thieves survived.
Everyone's faces were very ugly, they could be said to be the highest combat power on this island, and most of them were at the fifteenth level of the full level. This also means that their strength can no longer be improved, and this is the strongest wave of combat power they can organize.
Just when they were about to despair, Ling Yu's first team finally found a hall in the deepest part of the temple, which was where Palaredin was buried.
Ling Yu counted the remaining number of people and found that there were only twenty-five people left in the team.
But fortunately, these twenty-five people are undoubtedly the best in their respective teams, they can be said to be the elite of the elite, the master of the masters, and they are completely trustworthy in terms of combat power.
"I'll go in first, and you'll pick you up outside." Ling Yu said to the rest of the people. In this way, even if there is any trap in it, he will be the only one who will be tricked.
Ling Yu slowly walked into the hall, and the crystal coffin on the steps in the distance was already close in front of him.
Even though he was very close to the target, Ling Yu was still extremely cautious, and he might see that a certain boss monster would jump out next to him.
Ling Yu walked up the stairs towards the top, the crystal coffin came into view, the crystal coffin was waist-high, the whole was carved from pure and transparent high-quality crystal, crystal clear, under the illumination of the lights in the main hall, it reflected the dazzling light.
An NPC in gold-colored armor was lying quietly in the crystal coffin, his face was fair, heroic, his whole body exuded a faint white light, looking holy and solemn, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, and a paladin's great sword was quietly placed on his chest.
Judging from the golden armor and the great sword on his chest, it is estimated that it should be the assassinated Pararedin himself.
Although it had been thousands of years since Palaredin's death, his body was indistinguishable from the one he had ever lived, showing no signs of decay at all, as if he were just sleeping. I don't know if it's because of his special body or because the crystal coffin has some power to keep the body from decomposing.
System: You have found Pararedin's crystal coffin, please investigate the cause of Pararedin's death.
Such a prompt appears after he discovers the crystal coffin, is this the system telling him to look for clues from Pararedin's corpse?
