Chapter 27: Sub-Elites
"Ding! System Hint: You have entered Expert Mode Ice Canyon. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Luo Xiu didn't know that the forum was now noisy because of his matter, and they asked the game official to explain why there are second-order skills now, and whether there is any system vulnerability, and the game official only replied, "All the data is normal, this is the result of the player's own efforts." β
This makes players crazy, Second Dream is not as step-by-step as traditional online games, it is full of opportunities, and if you are strong and lucky enough, then you can even become a hidden class.
"Let's start, presumably President Momiji should have sent someone to try it, how to fight?" Luo Xiu said slowly, after all, he didn't play many games, and most of the time he was still alone, and he really didn't have much experience in commanding.
"The Ice Canyon in expert mode,It's no different in terms of play.,It's just that the monster's damage blood volume has increased.,The skill hasn't changed.,But that's just the data from the internal test.,You have to fight it to know.γ A red leaf explained softly: "There is also the existence of the little monster that has become a sub-elite, and the boss is still an elite monster, but it has been strengthened a lot, and it can be regarded as a strengthened elite." β
These are all tested by other teams in their guild with a red leaf, and the game official only announced a few items dropped, and the Ice Canyon has also changed a lot from the closed test, and the difficulty has increased a lot, making a red leaf a little difficult.
The sub-elite is on the top of the elite template, but it is not as high as the damage of the elite monster's blood, and it is a weakened version of the elite, but it is also an elite anyway, and the skills are more than ordinary monsters, and the power is greater, and it is still a group of people, which is a great test of the skills of tanks and healing players.
In the same way, the Enhanced Elite is an enhanced version of the Elite Monster, but it is weaker than the Boss Monster.
At the entrance of the Ice Canyon stand two sub-elite-level Ice Guardians, they look very similar to the Guardian Ice Monsters, but they are melee monsters, and they don't release ice arrows, they will hit the enemy with their fists, and of course there are a few skills, but they are basically suppression skills against tanks, so that the blood volume of a red leaf is like a roller coaster, ups and downs.
The monsters at the beginning of the dungeon are designed to be very powerful, allowing players to weigh their own strength, and these monster players are commonly known as "door gods".
"Let's have one for each person, if you make a critical hit, you will die if you grow Momiji." Luo Xiu shot as he ordered the demonized vampire bat to pull away another Ice Guardian.
The Demonized Vampire Bat is an elite-level pet, which has already surprised them with a red leaf, and as soon as this bloodsucking aura comes out, they are even more surprised, the bloodsucking aura greatly reduces the pressure on the treatment of the tender leaf, especially the assassination thief of the pure melee skill of Shadow Aoi, and the blood sucked back is even more than the small healing technique of the tender leaf.
"If I knew that I had this kind of aura, I should have brought a warrior, not this useless Beastmaster hunter." A red leaf looked at the damage output statistics table and complained: "The same pet, why is the difference so big?" β
"Humph! President, you take care of your own blame, the little bad wolf cheers me on, but I can't lose to the president's damage output. The cold little hand was furious, and roared at the gray wolf pet, which was also level five, and the gray wolf who was scratching the hard body of the ice guardian in front of him jumped in fright, whined, and accelerated the speed of the attack.
After a cold little hand stalking, she finally defeated the mage Qianyue and entered the dungeon team, but her damage output was not as high as the tank, which made her feel very embarrassed.
The dungeon reclamation team almost has to be near and far, and the melee output class is essential, otherwise it may be Shadow Aoi who will be squeezed out.
"Big master, can you also help me catch an elite pet?" The cold little hand pleaded with Luo Xiu.
Looking at the tearful appearance of the cold little hands, Luo Xiu couldn't bear it, but unfortunately the hunter pet can only catch it by himself, even if he uses the enhanced freezing trap, the hatred of freezing the beast monster will be transferred to Luo Xiu, it is impossible to tame it successfully, if you want the hatred to come back, you must cause damage to the beast monster, then the effect of the enhanced freezing trap will also be lifted, Luo Xiu can only say that he can't help.
"So so? President, hurry up and explode a book for me to strengthen the Frozen Trap skill. The cold little hand who knew the truth shouted, his eyes stared at the Ice Guardian, and the damage output statistics increased by as much as twenty percent, exceeding the damage value of a red leaf, and he was no longer the one with the lowest damage output except for healing, and sure enough, people have the motivation to struggle, and their strength will also be significantly improved.
Ice Canyon is a small dungeon that allows players to be familiar with the dungeon mode, with a total of three bosses, and the route in the dungeon is also very simple, that is, a straight one, and the mobs and bosses are distributed in the narrow canyon.
After clearing the mobs at the door and entering the Ice Canyon, Luo Xiu was greeted by the No. 1 boss, an ice creature that looked very similar to the tenth-level monster Frostblade Leopard in the wild of Xueman Village.
γIce Demon Leopardγ
Rank: Elite
Level: 6
Category: Elemental Creature
Health: 3500/3500
Compared with the Ice Demon Leopard in normal mode, the Ice Demon Leopard's HP in Expert Hard mode has increased by as much as 50%, and it is completely a top-notch elite monster, no wonder it can be regarded as an enhanced elite.
"How do you fight Momiji? Say a number, or I'll go straight to it. Luo Xiu looked at the Ice Demon Leopard lying on the ground, it blocked the way forward, and if he didn't kill it, he couldn't move forward again.
Luo Xiu thought in his heart that the blood volume of this Ice Demon Leopard was really high, and it really deserved to be a copy in expert mode, more than one grade stronger than the elite monsters encountered in the wild.
"There are three Ice Demon Leopard skills in Expert Mode, a physical attack with a frost claw attack with a frost slow, a strengthened body skill with 25% damage minus, and the last group exterminator technique, Frost Attack." A red leaf said in a deep voice.
Glancing at the Ice Demon Leopard who was napping, a red leaf paused, and then explained: "The effect of the Frost Raid skill is to randomly name a player to appear behind him and cause a lot of damage to him, if the tank doesn't have time to pull back the hatred, then even if the treatment is strong, the player who can't milk the Frost Raid can only lie down." β
It is very difficult for the tank class that is slowed down by the frost claw to successfully rescue, which shows the benefits of the wild druid, except for the wild druid, the other two tank classes do not have acceleration skills at the beginning, and the transformation form druid can also remove part of the control effect, which is simply a tank class designed for the ice canyon.
It's a pity that there are very few wild druids who come to Snow Man Village, and most of them are still people from the Grand Guild, and they all choose wild druids to come to Snow Man Village according to the requirements of the guild.
This is also the reason why a red leaf was so excited when he saw the charge skill book, the ice canyon that was first opened by the wild druid during the internal test, this time it should belong to the most traditional tank class of the shield warrior, but it is not a half-hung tank like the wild druid.
The wild druid also has a cheetah form, and the melee damage output is not weak, and the general skills also have healing spells and ranged attack spells, which are complained about by many guardian knights and shield warrior players.
"Understood, President Momiji, you will be optimistic about the boss throughout the whole process, prepare for the charge skill, and let my pet make a cameo appearance in the tank." After Luo Xiu listened, he ordered the demonized vampire bat to be used as a tank, and a red leaf stared at the Ice Demon Leopard the whole time, as long as the Ice Demon Leopard used the Frost Raid, he would use the charge to stun its skills.
A red leaf nodded in agreement, and then the shadow bite of the demonized vampire bat bit up, the hatred was established steadily, and he was not afraid of being robbed of hatred at all, Luo Xiu also directly began to output damage, and after playing two long-range skills, he raised his furry claw fist and slapped it towards the Ice Demon Leopard.
Don't look at the tenderness of the leaves, but the consciousness is very powerful, every healing spell is very timely, plus the demonized vampire bat's own blood sucking, the blood volume remains very stable.
Time passed little by little, the demonized vampire bat continued to attack, and its health had dropped to 80%, on the other hand, the Ice Demon Leopard still had 80% of its blood left, and when the Ice Demon Leopard's blood volume fell below 80%, it suddenly disappeared in place and appeared behind the tender leaf.
"Charge!"
A red leaf reacted in time, stunned the Ice Demon Leopard, and a taunt skill pulled over, temporarily making the Ice Demon Leopard look at her, Luo Xiu and they also followed in time, the Demon Vampire Bat was slowing down, flying relatively slowly, belatedly biting the Ice Demon Leopard.
As soon as the taunt skill time passed, the hatred of the Ice Demon Leopard was pulled back by the Demon Vampire Bat, which made a red leaf very helpless, with today's skills, it was very difficult to establish a hatred that surpassed the Demon Vampire Bat, and she was also happy to be idle, playing soy sauce again, and the one-handed sword in her hand was slashing, reducing the Ice Demon Leopard's health as much as possible.
As the Ice Demon Leopard's HP became lower and lower, and the Frost Raids became more and more frequent, Luo Xiu appropriately made up for the concussion shot to keep the BOSS in a state of slowdown, and successfully allowed Shadow Kui to dodge the Frost Raid.
"The boss's HP is 20%, and it's about to go berserk, so it's going to output with all your might." A red leaf shouted.
Luo Xiu clawed one claw after another, and many cracks appeared on the body of the Ice Demon Leopard, which made the Ice Demon Leopard roar again and again.
The Ice Demon Leopard's HP dropped below 20%, and the ice-blue body instantly turned red, and its attack speed and attack power increased significantly, causing the Demon Vampire Bat's HP to drop rapidly at a cutting speed, and it would soon fall below the 20% HP mark.
"Blood and Qi Barrier!"
Luo Xiu turned on the pet skill in time, allowing the demonized vampire bat to last longer, and at the same time speeding up the attack.
Shadow Aoi also wielded a dagger, and the body of the stabbing Ice Demon Leopard was pitted, as if it could shatter at any moment.
The Ice Demon Leopard was already in a state of residual blood, and its limbs suddenly kicked the ground, disappeared in place, and appeared behind Luo Xiu, and the claws of the Ice Demon Leopard, whose attack speed had increased dramatically, turned into an afterimage and grabbed Luo Xiu's waist.
Luo Xiu just took a step forward.
The Ice Demon Leopard didn't notice the trap under his feet, and immediately stepped on it.
"Bang!"
Luo Xiu turned around and said to the Bloodthirsty Ice Demon Leopard in the ice cube: "If the last Frost Raid in the Berserk State goes to find someone else, you may be able to get it, but you are looking for me, so you can only waste this last opportunity in vain." β
The crowd quickly surrounded and killed the Ice Demon Leopard in the remnants of blood.
The first boss in the Ice Canyon, the Ice Demon Leopard, has a very single skill and is still very friendly to players, but this does not mean that the subsequent bosses are so simple.
"President Momiji, please, rely on your little hands to produce good things." Luo Xiu smiled.
"Okay, look at me." A red leaf is fascinated by the eyes, and she is the favorite person except for her cold little hands when it comes to touching the corpse.
Under the resentful expression of the cold little hands, a red leaf chose to ignore it and began to touch the equipment items.
"Luckily, the skill book is out, it's the summoner's ice element summoning, but unfortunately we don't have a summoner here." A red leaf took out a skill book, and then posted it in the team channel, all for Luo Xiu to see, they were in the same guild and believed each other.
