Chapter 23: The Flame Rift (2)
Hill is a hero recruited by Varian from the system, which is equivalent to the elite template in the game, so the attack power and other attributes are higher than that of Varian of the ordinary player template.
Moreover, she has a lot of combat experience, and her archery skills are also very accurate, each arrow is shot at the eye of the Drill Worm, and it is easy to deal considerable critical damage.
After a few minutes, the drill worm was finally eliminated by Varian and Ciel, and its body was limp on the ground.
"This Elite Dungeon monster is really much more powerful than ordinary monsters, I really can......'t resist it if I deal with two at the same time," Varian shook his numb arm, and by the way, shook off the disgusting green slime from the shield.
"Good job, but remember to adjust the angle of your shield the next time you face an enemy, forget what I told you? Don't always use your shield to take your opponent's attacks head-on, the right angle change will spread out the enemy's attack so you can hold on longer. Hill calmly analyzed Varian's battle.
Varian scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "I still remembered your words when I first rushed up, but this bug is too violent, and the impact force is greater than that gnolloin Hogg, so I don't care about this, just now it took me a lot of effort to withstand its attack." ”
Hill bowed slightly, and said: "You are still too weak now, and the monsters here are much more powerful than the original ones, and the difficulty of fighting has increased a lot for you, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to go too far." ”
"It's quite difficult to kill monsters here, but at the same time, it can also allow me to improve my strength faster, and besides, we don't have to go too far, anyway, we can't deal with those boss levels for the time being."
Killing monsters in elite dungeons gives you a lot of experience points, and the experience rewards given by the system after completing the quest are also very rich.
"That's fine, fighting these more powerful monsters will really give you better training, so let's continue."
"Wait, I'll drink some water first, this place is too hot......"
Varian's sweat had soaked through his armor during the battle, and now he felt like he had just been fished out of the water, and his whole body was wet and uncomfortable.
Varian took two bottles of cool spring water from his bag, tossed one to Hill, and then unscrewed the other and poured it down.
After drinking most of the spring water in one go, Varian let out a long sigh of relief and felt better.
"Alright." Varian wiped his sweat with a linen cloth and put on his helmet and said to Ciel, "Bring the next bug here." ”
The Drill Worms at the entrance of the dungeon are scattered, so Ciel can use arrows to lure them one by one, and then destroy them one by one with Varian, without worrying about being surrounded by multiple monsters at the same time.
While these drillers are tough to deal with, the loot they drop is shabby.
Combined, these bugs only dropped a total of 4 gray junk items "Clotted Slime" and "Slimy Liquid", as well as a green gem "Tiger's Eye".
Clearing the entrance of a few Drill Worms, and further inside, there are two lava elementals made up of rock blocks.
They are a type of earth elemental creature with a body as hard as stone, and killing them will give you a chance to obtain the quest item "Buy the Elementals", the Scorching Band.
Hill skillfully bends his bow and arrows, striking one of the lava elementals.
Varian had never fought an elemental creature before, and looking at the stone fist of the lava elemental waving at him, Varian took a deep breath and stopped the monster to fight it.
The lava elemental's stone fist attack was heavier than the Drill Worm, and Varian could barely hold the shield in his hand.
Luckily, Varian's hammer also deals more damage to the lava elemental, splashing large pieces of stone chips every time the hammer hits it, much more effective than attacking the soft Driller.
The Lava Elemental, which is an elemental, doesn't have what a creature monster calls a "vital point", so Ciel's arrows don't deal critical damage as easily as they did earlier.
And Ciel knows this, so her arrows are more used to contain the lava elemental, and she can always shoot the lava elemental's stone arm in time to interrupt its attack on Varian.
It didn't take long for the lava elemental to be enraged by Ciel's ranged attack, ignoring Varian in front of it and turning around and charging towards Ciel, who was not far away.
Varian slammed his hammer behind the lava elemental, trying to get its attention again.
But the lava element was unmoved, and still rushed towards Ciel.
Varian stopped, his right hand emitting a faint white light, and then swung forward, and the skill "Hammer of Sanctions" was activated.
This class skill was learned at level 8 by Varian, and it instantly stuns enemies, rendering them unable to move or attack for 3 seconds.
The lava element that was hit by the skill suddenly fainted in place, and Varian hurriedly stepped forward to seize the opportunity to attack continuously, and when the lava element recovered, his attention was attracted by Varian again.
Varian and Ciel continued to attack the lava elemental, and soon its health was at its bottom, and the stone body was shattered into several pieces of rubble.
They did the same, destroying the other lava element.
Luckily, both of these elementals dropped the quest item, the Scorching Band, as well as the gray trash "Icy Stone" and "Pebble", as well as the two normal items "Rough Stone".
After taking out the lava elementals, Varian and Ciel rested a little and continued on their way, arriving at the territory of the Flame Cavemen.
The combat power of these humanoid monsters is not much different from that of the Drill Worm and the Lava Elemental, but they are social creatures, and two or three cavemen can be seen gathering together everywhere, and what is more troublesome is that as long as their health is low in battle, they will turn around and run away, and if they are not careful, they will also attract the monsters next to them, which is much more difficult than the single fight to the death just now.
There are two types of Flame cavemen, one is the common caveman and the other is their legal profession - the Flame Shaman.
The Flame Shaman casts a "Healing Wave" to restore health to nearby cavemen with little health, and also casts the spell "Lightning Arrow" to attack enemies. Therefore, when encountering the Flame Shaman, it is necessary to kill them first to avoid the battle becoming scorched.
