Chapter 204: The Swampy Jungle
Ten minutes later, a group of nine people with their respective troops, led the way by Ma Yi, and everyone slowly walked towards the target place.
Although Li Ran and the others had already obtained the hand-drawn map before, they were still a little confused about the direction when they suddenly teleported, so Fei Bing kept following them when they were traveling. []
Through Fei Bing's introduction, Li Ran and the others generally knew their location on the map, and also learned that the stronghold where the target was located was dozens of kilometers ahead.
Along the way, Li Ran and the others gradually understood the reason why the plants here were unusually tall, and the land here was a little different from all the places they had seen before. It can be said that although there are wind, frost, rain and snow in the third world, as long as the wind and rain pass, the land in the suburbs will generally dry up much faster than in reality. After all, trapping all players in a house in the third world and not being able to get out is definitely not something the mastermind is willing to do.
However, the ground here seems to be muddy all the time, and it is very difficult to walk. Although some places are slightly better, there are some places where you can sink into half a leg at once, which is really annoying and irritating to walk. Fortunately, Ma Yi and the others have been here several times, and they already know a little bit about this place, and sometimes they can take them around some very difficult swamps.
The dense weeds and bushes combined with the muddy roads were really torture for Li Ran and the others. However, for those creatures who have always lived in this land, all this can be their weapon.
They hadn't yet entered the defense range of the stronghold, but the creatures that scurried out from time to time still posed some threat to them. Earlier, a strange-looking hooked sickle turtle suddenly burst out of the mud and bit the belly of the Phantom Ice Girl Taiti Bear.
This strange creature has a flat body, but also has a thick carapace, which normally hides in the mud, but when the Tati bear stepped out, it suddenly jumped out and bit its belly. Although it was only a small fourth-order, the Tati Bear couldn't shake it off no matter how much it swayed, and it only left a few tooth marks on its hard carapace by biting with its teeth. Moreover, this hooked sickle turtle obviously also has the function of sucking blood, and I saw that its volume was getting bigger and bigger, and it broke through to the fifth order after a while. Then, the Titi Bear's HP drained faster after it became a fifth-order.
Seeing this situation, Ma Yi, who had had this kind of experience before, hurriedly asked Fei Bing to attack Tyti Bear with the Ice Breath Technique, although the Ice Breath Technique is an advanced magic of the water mage, but the damage ability is not very high, and the only use is that it can slow down the opponent's speed slightly. At this point, attacking the Tati Bear's body can freeze its wounds. Slows down its blood flow. In this way, the effect of blood loss will also be slowed down or disappear, and as long as the effect of blood loss is gone, the hooked scythe turtle will lose its only means of attack.
Phantom Ice struggled to calm the Tati Bear's tossing body from the pain, and then stepped forward and struck a staff on the Hooked Scythe Turtle's body. Unexpectedly, the hooked sickle turtle that was knocked and fell to the ground suddenly jumped up and rushed straight to the neck of the phantom ice girl. Just as the Phantom Ice Girl hurriedly retreated in fright, a short axe flying from afar hit the Hooked Scythe Turtle and nailed it to the trunk of a nearby tree.
Phantom Bingnan looked at the hooked sickle turtle that was nailed to the tree, and after a long time, he came back to his senses and hurriedly said thank you to Li Taishan not far away!
Li Taishan nodded expressionlessly, but there seemed to be a hint of arrogance on his face. The performance of Li Ran and the others just now made him very disappointed, when his companions were in danger, none of them reacted to how to rescue them. This made him question their strength again,
But in order to successfully complete the task, Li Taishan still sent a private chat to Ma Yi: "Ants, these guys don't seem to be very good except for the troops, you can take care of them for a while, don't let them hang up in advance before the troops die, or the task will be completely ruined!" After sending it, Li Taishan didn't forget to cough and remind Ma Yi to read the text message!
After a long while, Ma Yi replied with a text message, which read: "Gorilla! How do you think so? You saw it in the previous challenge, they are very good."
After slashing and killing a wild boar that rushed out, Li Taishan replied: "Didn't you see their performance just now? ”
"Oh, you said the hooked sickle turtle? This is normal, isn't it just as helpless when we encounter this at the beginning? Besides, this time they're still a biological class, and we were a brother who was bitten before, so we could order him not to move to save him! Ma Yi replied
"For the sake of the mission, you'd better take a look at those guys, I'm still not at ease with them! If it weren't for the mission, I'd have stomped them right now, and I'm most annoyed by this kind of guy, thinking that spending some money to buy a class would be great! Dare to bully the people of our group to your face! Li Taishan replied impatiently
Ma Yi replied depressedly: "Gorilla! Don't be so impulsive, people are also friends of Manager Tao, they have no grudges with you, and they come to help and are looked down upon by you, you think people are comfortable! ”
Li Taishan couldn't help but pause, what Ma Yi said actually knew that he had made things difficult for Li Ran and them at first, but now that he thinks about it, it was indeed because of his own self-esteem. As the head of the regiment, he could not lead the members to complete the task, but repeatedly asked for foreign help. This is really not a glorious thing.
Because the previous few times were all well-known mercenary groups in the city, it is easy to say. Although the failure of the task also caused his own losses to increase, he was really a little happy in his heart, which also told the boss from the side that it was indeed excusable that he did not complete the task before.
But just as they were considering whether to spend a lot of money to hire a more powerful mercenary team, the director who was sick and rushed to the hospital actually brought up the matter at the plenary meeting, and encouraged all the members to work together. This made all their core members immediately become the laughing stock of the company. How could this make him feel good.
If it's a well-known mercenary team again, forget it, so they won't feel much embarrassed. In the past, everyone was naturally happy, and if they couldn't pass, it proved that they were really forced to complete such a large-scale task chain because their existing strength was not enough.
However, what he didn't expect was that this time the director invited a team that he had never heard of, which made him not feel depressed.
"Gorillas! Gorilla! Let's go, what do you want? Seeing that Li Taishan, who was opening the road in front, was a little distracted, Ma Yi deliberately shouted loudly
Hearing Ma Yi's shout, Li Taishan turned back to his senses, but at this moment, a green shadow suddenly appeared from a tree not far away and pounced on Li Taishan.
Li Taishan had already shown the demeanor of the head of his group at this time, and he had already drawn his axe and swung it out in his hand in a startled manner, and at the same time his body moved backwards quickly, only to see the sharp axe accurately hit the green shadow. The green shadow was stunned, and everyone finally saw its face clearly, and it turned out that the green shadow was actually a thick python.
In a hurry, I didn't see what kind of snake this snake was, and the strange thing was that it was not fleshy and fleshy after being slashed by Li Taishan's sharp axe, although the body was stunned, but it wrapped its tail around the handle of the axe and Li Tai's arm, and at the same time slid down Li Taishan's arm. Li Taishan, who only made this move, didn't know what to do, although his right hand was strangled and he lost consciousness, and he held another short axe in his left hand but didn't dare to cut it indiscriminately, for fear that he didn't hurt the python but turned himself into a one-armed hero.
All this came too fast, and when everyone reacted, the python had already opened its mouth and bit Li Taishan's neck, seeing that the rescue was too late, the other three people of the Shen Group instantly changed their moves. Dream Heart's magical air bomb has been transformed into a detoxification technique, and unlike real-world snakes, most pythons in the third world have powerful toxin attacks.
Fei Bing also replaced the attack magic with a control spell - limb stiffness. And Ma Yi directly pulled out the short sword on his waist and rushed over, and the spell he was good at casting in the past would only cause the python and Li Taishan to be injured at the same time.
Limb stiffness, when cast, is cast in the form of a green ball of light, with a certain guiding effect. After hitting the target, there is a chance that it will slow down or pause, and Fei Bing, as a dungeon clan, is also familiar with the use of this trick. She believed that her spell would only hit the python and not accidentally hurt Captain Li.
It can be seen that several people in the Shen Group are not masters, and their instantaneous changes are also fast and accurate. But at this moment, a flying bone spear pierced the open mouth of the python and nailed it to the trunk behind it.
Looking at the python that was still moving on the trunk, everyone seemed to feel that the scene just now was staged again, but this time it was replaced by Li Taishan being rescued.
Only then did everyone realize that this python was originally just a sixth-order creature, although in the current period, this level was not low, but changing anywhere would not make them feel nervous. However, the environment at this time has made them powerful.
Looking at the surrounding jungle, everyone couldn't help but be more careful. At the same time, the source of the bone spear was also discovered, which turned out to be the eighth-order guard holding a shield beside Li Ran.
`
Although he had been dissatisfied with Li Ran and the others, Li Taishan endured it for a long time and still said thank you. Just when Fei Bing and others thought that the relationship between the two sides could finally get better. What happened next made them depressed for a long time.
I saw that Li Ran was very anxious to let the Barranca guards withdraw the bone spear, and at the same time asked Wu Tongtong to perform a wound healing on the python, and the phantom ice girl gave the python a recovery technique in a timely manner. When it falls to the ground, the python also recovers to its best condition. But it also seemed to be a little puzzled by this sudden treatment, and it didn't know whether to go or stay for a while.
It was not only the python that was also puzzled, but also the people of the Shen Group. However, when I saw Shadow Blade rush over with a brisk step, three strikes and five divisions by two, and get busy with its corpse. Only then did they remember the poison that Shadowblade had sent them earlier. It also confirmed his identity as a poison maker. After all, they are veterans who have traveled to the Third World for many years. They are still very clear about the harsh rumors of the poison maker, and all the materials have to be obtained by themselves.
But even with such a reason, Li Taishan, who was rescued, still felt very angry. The other party's behavior is simply a kind of ignorance for him. In particular, the rescue test is simply a wordless provocation. Thinking about it, he seemed to have an urge to go up and cut them down again
