Chapter 248: No Annihilation
Panicked when he saw the blood: "Nani? Why? β
Su Cheng's heart was like iron: "First, it's a task now." Second, points will be deducted for interrupting all explorations and chats with career clues! β
"Wait, wait, waitβwhen did this second rule come out? I don't know! β
"Just came out! It starts with you! β
The military service system on the island of Velana is different. Soldiers are professional, and soldiers can decide the time of retirement according to the amount of their military merits. The more and higher the military merit, the more pension. As for those who do not have any decent military functions, they can only retire when they reach old age and receive a meager salary that barely supports the family. Therefore, the soldiers on the island are willing to take on as many tasks as possible when they are in the prime of life, and some people remain in the army after obtaining the qualification for retirement, participating in the tasks they have determined, in the hope of getting a higher pension after retirement.
"This mission, because it is quite dangerous, so the reward is very high. After successful completion, my pension can be increased by at least 20%! The guard looked proud: "Actually, I could have retired two years ago, but because I was worried that Sandra had not yet become chief, I took the initiative to stay." Hehe, in the past two days, I have finally done Sandra a little favor. I don't think I wasted these two years! β
The guards do know everything about the island. When Seven Swords found that nearly half of the supplies such as water in the backpack were used, the group happened to walk to the foot of the volcano.
Mount Velana is different from a normal ring volcano in that it has an opening in its ring. The guards said that a lord-level flame giant appeared in the volcano hundreds of years ago, and set half of Velana on fire. At that time, the chief personally stepped out and lured the Flame Lord to the bay, where a great battle was fought and the ground cracked. The Flame Lord fled back to the volcano after being wounded, and the chief pursued him, eventually killing him with the Flame Lord, leaving a gap in the volcanic ring hundreds of paces long. "It took dozens of generations of the royal family to sacrifice to leave a stable life for Vilena. Therefore Garza was so perverse, and the people could endure it in silence. β
Looking from a high ground along the gap, the smoke in the crater is not heavy, and you can see the dark red magma cracking golden red lines from time to time, and the hotter magma is pouring up, replacing the slightly cool magma. Dozens of flames danced on the magma plane, like humans dancing.
The guard introduced: "Those fire balls are fire spirits. As we get closer, we can see that they are no different from humans except that they are surrounded by flames. We only need to kill the biggest fire spirit to complete the mission. β
Su Su was speechless: "We don't have such a high flame resistance, we can't fight people on magma!" β
"So they need to be drawn out, to the ground beyond the pass. Can't lead too much. The old way was to lead one or two out one by two until the biggest one was killed. β
"Just use this?" Su Cheng took out the three arrows that Sandra handed him, feeling that the number was too small.
"Huh." The guard smiled slyly, "Miss Sandra values you very much. These arrows were used to tempt the Flame Lord. The Fire Elves only need to have normal flammable materials to attract them. β
Su Cheng was faintly uneasy in his heart: This Sandra can't be a crow, right? If there really is a Flame Giant or even a Lord, this task will be in suspense!
The guards led the Seven Swords to collect dead branches and leaves in the woods a little farther away: "These things can lure the fire elves over." Bring more and use it more conveniently β but use less every time. β
Not quite right, indeed. When everyone approached the gap in the volcanic ring, they found that the dozen or so fire spirits were very evenly sized, and none of them were particularly large enough to be the ultimate goal. The guard's throat was dry: "It's not good." This situation is usually a sign that the Flame Giant has been born! β
I looked at it several times but didn't find it. Su Susu asked him, "Brother, where is the flame giant you are talking about?" Why didn't I see it? β
"Under the lava. Fire Spirits can enhance themselves by devouring other Fire Spirits. When the group is large enough and the members are similar. To be able to live in harmony can only be an existence that everyone needs to look up to to make rules and maintain order. β
Su Cheng asked him, "How should this situation be handled?" β
"Try to test it as much as you can, and see if you can determine the strength of the Flame Giant. Then everyone went back and discussed what to do. Alas, hopefully this is not true! β
As an elemental monster, the fire spirit has an elemental perception range in addition to the hatred range, and usually these two perception ranges of the elemental monster coincide with each other.
The level of the fire spirit is forty, and the attack method is to scorch the opponent with a fire-breathing body in close quarters, and is not afraid of ordinary fire spells, and has its own damage reduction effect when it is damaged by physical attacks. Of course, Su Cheng would not take the initiative to use the Vermilion Bird Fire to attack these ordinary monsters, and would use javelins to attack like everyone else. A single fire spirit only needs two waves of seven swords to gather fire. When two come out together, it will take some time; When the three are out together, the seven swords cannot be guaranteed to be undamaged. In this case, you can only withdraw from the fire elves' hatred range and start over.
The Flame Elves were reduced one by one, and the last three were all farther away from the magma core, and ordinary ignitions were no longer effective.
Su Cheng took out an arrow that Sandra handed him: "Su Sushu, take it and shoot it on the magma side, the location, it's in the core area and our midpoint." β
An arrow was fired, and a flame ignited at the landing point, instantly transforming into a small flame spirit more than two feet tall. The three large flame spirits were like bonfires blown by the wind, and the flames on their heads surged upward, and at the same time set off to pounce on the small fire. The flame elf closest to everyone got the convenience of the platform, rushed to the side of the small flame elf first, opened his mouth and sucked the little flame elf into his mouth, and his body was also shocked, and he grew more than half a foot taller. Devouring its kind, the flame elf also spotted a group of intruders at the same time, wisps of fire like arms waved, and three flame elves pounced on the seven swords at the same time.
Before Su Cheng and the others could make a move, a golden hole suddenly cracked in the core area of the magma, and one person said, "Three fools!" If you want to die, it's better to die in your brother's mouth! "The voice is like a broken hair dryer, with a 'whoop' gasp. The three flame spirits stopped at the same time, and then rushed in three directions in unison.
The crack in the magma core area suddenly made a 'pop' sound, as if a big bubble came out, exploding a golden light, the light dissipated, and a flame giant with a height of more than three meters jumped out of the crack, and the flame arm slapped left and right, catching the two fleeing flame spirits in their hands. Lava erupted from the Flame Giant's fingers, and more flames clinged to the Flame Giant's palm and arm, merging with the Flame Giant.
Devouring two low-level kinders, the growth of the Flame Giant is not obvious.
The third flame spirit was to flee to the end of the Seven Swords in a panic. The seven swords were not polite, the six people gathered the fire, and the Tianshan Wonder Man held the shield to block the way of the fire elves.
The Flame Spirit fell to the ground, bursting out with a fist-sized red crystal. Su Cheng scooped it up and sent a picture: Molten Heart. Increases fire elemental affinity. When used in moderation, it can enhance the lethality of fire-based magic.
The Flame Giant is still in the center of the magma, seeing Twilight. Orange took the Molten Heart and exclaimed, "Bad luck." raised a dozen of them, and one of them came out useful, and they were destroyed by you! Hand over the Molten Heart, and I'll be kind enough to let you out of here! β
Twilight. Orange didn't reply, only chatted with the guards: "What will be the result of the fight?" β
The guards stared at the Flame Giant and replied, "Death Light!" With any luck, you can escape here. But where can you escape? If you don't surrender the Molten Heart, the Flame Giant will hunt you down throughout the entire range of Velana! It's going to go all the way β we can't afford to lose. β
Dumb talk! Su Cheng scolded in his heart: Let it eat this, its strength will be stronger! Maybe it's so strong that we don't have the right to negotiate! Besides, Brother is going to use this as bait - you can't let the last bloodline of the royal family of Velana be used as bait, right? "Scatter and flee. Be careful not to run away from places with a lot of combustibles! β
Two people didn't listen to Boss Su's command and fled to the woods not far away.
Escaping from the crater range, the avatars of Su Susu and Ajibayi also became black and white. After two seconds, the avatar returns to color.
Su Cheng said: "Deliberately, right?" Did you die out? β
Su Shushu grinned: "The boss is the boss, and we will never think that we are running around without listening to the command!" I also wonder if I'll be kicked out of Vilana this time by hanging up! Luckily, we died and returned to the palace! It's just that the durability of weapons and equipment is terrible! β
According to Arnold's confession, during this mission, the player who dies will be punished by 'returning to the novice village'. Now there are two people who have tried the law, but they only died and returned to the palace of Wilana, indicating that the system recognizes that the Seven Swords have completed the trial task assigned by Arnold. Everyone's hearts are full of light!
After escaping, the guards also breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought I was going to die!" Well done little guys. The Flame Giant didn't come to hunt down everyone, probably to better integrate the power of those two Flame Elves! Either way, we've found out about this year's flames, and we can go back and make a difference. β
When he saw the blood, he sprayed venom again: "Who said the day before yesterday that it seems that he can sacrifice his life for Verana and Sandra!" Now I'm just thinking about ...... difference."
The guard did not blush: "Young man, life is precious!" If I die here, how do you think it can help this? As you can see, this flame giant is definitely not something that a few of us can deal with right now! Bringing back the information and letting everyone discuss a better solution is the way to go! β
