Chapter 173: Off the beaten path
At the moment when the ghost castle opened, Wen Hao felt that the mountains shook under his feet in an instant, and countless teams of players flocked away.
With this huge number of characters, it is estimated that there will be no less than 500 guilds coming tonight, and all of them are medium and large guilds that are well-known in the Heavenly Trace, which makes people worry about whether this old-looking and dilapidated castle can accommodate this unimaginable number of players.
The crowd scrambled through the vanishing barrier and poured into the ten-meter-high broken gate, as if there was a huge treasure buried in this ghost castle that would not be available if it was too late.
According to the plan in advance, the Celestial Knights were not in a hurry to rush forward, so they also had some more time to wait and see.
"It's spectacular."
The other side sighed: "There are more people than last year when the Demon Dragon Volcano opened!" β
"Hmm." Mu Tong nodded.
"Oh? Did you participate in this event last year? Ling Yu was curious, as far as he knew, the Heavenly Trace Knights had only grown stronger after Wen Hao's arrival this year, how could they dare to participate in similar activities on a small scale last year?
"Yes! At that time, it was the team that the eldest sister insisted on leading! "And then we were swept less than five minutes after we stepped into the entrance. β
ββ¦β¦ Hmm" Mu Tong was slightly embarrassed.
ββ¦β¦β
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"Hahaha!" Ling Yu smiled, patted Wen Hao's shoulder and said, "It's very in line with her style!" β
"Yes." Wen Hao couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Not this year!" Ling Yu looked at Wen Hao and said, "Captain, give the order!" β
Wen Hao nodded and issued a notice on the team channel: "All teams, listen to the command and move forward!" β
"Roar!"
When they saw the overwhelming scene, everyone in the Knights couldn't suppress the blood gushing in their hearts, and at this time, they finally received the captain's order, and they all responded fiercely.
The queue of the Celestial Trace Knights, led by a team of ten, rushed down the hill and headed towards the gate of the ghost castle with a surging flow of people.
Passing through the gates, you'll find a broad avenue with an ancient brick road leading to the castle's inner city, where spilled players stumble on the overgrown greenery, with the occasional fat rat fleeing and squeaking in fright.
From the ruins of the current wall, you can still imagine the beauty of the glorious period of the past.
Since entering the interior of the Ghost Castle, the player's vision will be reduced to a certain extent, and the overall appearance will be dark, although it is not as dark as that of the Dark Forest, but it will also affect the normal reaction speed somewhat.
Untrimmed trees on both sides of the road grew wantonly, and the wind blowing from nowhere made a rustling sound as it swept through the dense foliage, as if there were countless strange laughter in some corner.
If it weren't for the huge number of players now, which seriously affected this terrifying atmosphere, it would be a living virtual haunted house, as if a mysterious white-clad figure could emerge from anywhere.
Speaking of castles, it is natural to think of royal nobles, according to the eternal routine of the official designer of Tianji, it is easy to guess that the boss is related to important people such as royal nobles nine times out of ten, so almost all the guild teams are moving along the blue brick avenue.
When I don't know where the final identity and status of the boss is, everyone chooses the option with the highest chances, that is, the main city, where there must be a place for the activities of the royal family, such as the throne hall when the king summons the minister, or the palace of rest, anyway, it is correct to search the main city first.
Of course, it is not excluded that it is other forms of bosses, such as the existence of the Yaqi Snake of the Snake People tribe, but this situation is really rare and not worth betting, so only a few guild teams will choose other paths here, and ninety percent of the teams are running towards the main city.
Of course, this also includes well-known large guilds such as Ideal Township and Celebrities in Troubled Times.
"I'm so resentful~"
After a short march by the player's team, the normal monsters of the Ghost Castle have finally been refreshed!
With the screams of the first few female players, the players saw the true colors of the monsters, which were a group of translucent figures without a lower body, roaming the most common wild monsters in the ghost castle - the ghost maid soul.
After some skilled players came forward to test and summarize, everyone gradually figured out the skills and attributes of these ghost monsters.
Maid Wraiths are medium-to-close range monsters that will actively use a Psychic Blaster on players who step into the aggro range, and when they are hit, they will enter a state of stiffness for a period of time, at which point they will bite the player for continuous damage (similar to zombies in the tomb).
It's a tricky wild monster.,First of all, the range of psychic attacks is wide.,And the flight speed is fast.,Dodging requires a certain amount of skill.,If it's one-on-one, you can also resist hard.,If it's one-to-many, you'll inevitably be attacked from behind.,And then fall into a situation similar to the infinite blood-sucking control of zombie monsters.γ
In other words, it's a group of upgraded guard zombies who have learned to control the spell in medium and remote range.
The first open wild map,Before it is raided,It will refresh an excess of wild monsters in real time,In order to deal with the first batch of players who come to raid them,So the number of ghost monsters refreshed this time is also extremely considerable,It seems that the situation of the snake tribe's adventurer army and the snake army fighting again,And compared to the last time, it is no worseγ
"How do we get there?" Luan Xiangtear, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stopped, and Ling Yu turned his head and asked, "Do you want to go to the main city first?" β
Wen Hao groaned when he heard this, and he wasn't sure whether he should go with the flow or find another way.
"I think our ten-man squad has to try to see somewhere else." Lin Junyue proposed, "The map of the area of the main city will be explored by many people, and it will be redundant for us to go." β
"That's what I mean, too." Ling Yu said, "Just let the main team follow them, if there is a boss there, then notify us, and then rush over to support." β
"I think so." Su Yipin said.
"Well, let's go explore somewhere else." Wen Hao made a decision, anyway, the original purpose of this special move was to explore the map as a priority, although the main city area is extremely tempting, but there are too many people to share the cake, and it is better to choose a place where no one has to start first.
"Good!" The other side of the flower immediately turned around and explained to the three team leaders, "You must be careful of the sneak attacks of other teams, and then if you fight the boss, you must cooperate with each other and divide labor, remember to notify us as soon as possible." β
"Got it!"
The three squad leaders replied, these people are all elites selected by the other side of the flower, all of them are veteran players with rich experience, and they have seen a lot of large and small scenes, and they are the most trustworthy candidates.
After explaining, Wen Hao took his ten-person team to break away from the big team.
"Brother God, where are we going first?"
Su Yipin asked the most important question.
"Hmmm......"
Wen Hao looked at the vast interior space of the castle from afar, although those maverick guild teams did not choose the main city area, their goals were all towards the construction area without exception, after all, no one thought that there would be anything special in the exposed space, which happened to be a point that Wen Hao was thinking about.
Is it only in the unseen building area that there can be surprises?
"Well, let's go around the outside first." Wen Hao said after careful consideration.
