Act XI. Hide the map
In the game Rainbow Verse, the death penalty is quite large. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
After dying, the player will be resurrected in the temple of a nearby town, but the original corpse and most of the equipment on the body will remain in place, and the corpse will be weathered and disappeared within a day, leaving the equipment of great value.
It is precisely for this reason that in the game, the so-called best equipment is actually quite dangerous.
At the beginning of the game, there was a criminal gang of players known as the "Rape Party", who used the long-lasting but powerful skills to shoot two or three players with expensive equipment or items in a town guarded by NPCs, and then picked up by another person to make a profit. It wasn't until later that CCE modified the NPC's logic to make this form of crime disappear.
In the late game, most players wear standard equipment when entering dangerous areas or fighting between players, which is why manufacturing such as forging is an indispensable life occupation in the game.
And the corresponding materials are needed to make equipment, and as for the materials, they are naturally obtained from monsters.
"It's ......"
Shiloh looked at the red crystal in Princess Elifils' hand and whispered its name.
"The heart of the fire wolf."
The glow emitted was as bright as life, and the angular hexagonal crystals, like the residual warmth of flames, lay quietly in their hands.
As with Ash Edge, the relevant values immediately appeared in Shiloh's eyes.
ββββ
The heart of the fire wolf
Glow
epic
Inlay (armor): Fire Resistance +100
Mosaic (weapon): +5 Attack, attacks with fire and an additional 5 fire magic damage
Inlay (Trinket): When taking lethal damage, it is immune to this damage and emits a fire breath that deals 20-30 fire magic damage to all targets within fifteen yards, and this effect has a 100-day repetition
"The fire of reincarnation is never extinguished"
ββββ
Sure enough, this is the heart of the fire wolf that countless players have dreamed of.
After being processed by players who specialize in jewelry, glow crystals such as the Heart of the Fire Wolf can be embedded into slotted equipment to exert special effects, and the special effects vary greatly depending on the inlay location.
For example, the heart of the fire wolf, if it is embedded in weapons or armor, then it is almost the same as ordinary glow crystal, it is simply a tyrannical thing, only inlaid in the jewelry, the heart of the fire wolf is worthy of its epic quality.
A chance to be immune to fatal damage, and the repetition time only takes a hundred days, as for the follow-up fire breath, it can only be regarded as an additive, this effect in the original game, whether it is a strategic move in the dungeon, or a surprise effect when fighting between players, it is quite strong, and after being put in this world, the heart of the fire wolf is almost against the sky.
It's a pity that Shiloh doesn't have the equipment with slots on his body now, and even if he does, the glow crystals that have not been finely processed will basically not be able to exert their due effects, even if the heart of the fire wolf is extremely powerful, it is just a thought for Shiloh at this moment.
"This is...... Glow, right? β
Princess Eliefils recalls what Teacher Elwin had explained.
"Looks like it can be embedded in a weapon?"
"Well, that's right, but this glow crystal is different, it's called the heart of the fire wolf, it's the heart of the fire-eating Sierra Leone, the crystals of half-elemental creatures have great power, and this glow crystal can resist fatal damage, just like the same kind of fire wolf in the elemental territory, turned to ashes after death, but also reborn in the ashes."
Seeing that Her Royal Highness seemed to be more interested in the legend of the heart of the fire wolf than in the main body, Shiloh put it in his pocket and stood up with the stone.
"Anyway, although this thing is precious, it won't be of much use at the moment, well, I'll keep it first."
Looking around through the pale green fluorescent, Shiloh realized that this cave was about the same size as the lair of the ice dragon Aceris in his memory, but instead of the cold and slaughter, it had a strange warmth.
Odd.
Shiloh has never heard of the existence of this cave, you know, since the launch of "Rainbow Verse", the Frost Mine has been brushed by players more than a thousand times a day, but whether it is the official website or the forum, there is no report about this hidden cave.
After inspecting the broken rock wall, Shiloh found that although the rock here was slightly fragile, it was not so easy to destroy, at least, it seemed impossible to collapse due to the low-level spells that the players had missed.
So here's the problem.
Shiloh pondered his journey into the hidden cavern.
"The fire wolf's flame swooped out, and then ...... Well, don't you say? β
In the past, players used to refer to some deliberately designed and rather difficult goals in some games as "the designer's malice", but now, Shiloh can be said to deeply understand the malice of the CCE production team.
I'm afraid that this hidden map needs to be opened by using Flame Raid Impact in the Fire-Eating Sierra Rage state.
However, in the long history of the game, players either bypassed it directly, or solved it before it went berserk, and even if there were a few times when the fire wolf entered a berserk state, it was estimated that the team would collapse and be wiped out within a few seconds.
So, until Shiloh crossed, no player found out about it.
I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, Shiloh stumbles into this cave by mistake and uses the terrain to kill the fire-eating Sierra Leone, but his instinct as a player tells him that this hidden map is not just as simple as reducing the difficulty of the boss's strategy.
Generally speaking, in "Rainbow Verse", the hidden things have quite a rich reward, and will involve a deeper story line, and may even change the pattern of the entire game, of course, these hidden elements are both challenges and opportunities, take the hidden map in the dungeon, generally speaking, such a map, will be accompanied by the existence of something.
That's the hidden boss.
Shiloh remembers the first hidden boss he encountered, which was the Star Warden of the mid-stage dungeon of Lakshire Ruins, and he needed to kill the four Guardians in the ruins within a certain amount of time before he could open the door to the Warden's Tower and challenge the real final boss.
Shiloh didn't want to remember that painful and torturous month, yes, the Star Watchers had blocked their team for a whole month, and their progress was even relatively fast in the wasteland team, so the difficulty of hiding the boss could be seen.
β...... Let's get out of here. β
Shiloh has no intention of challenging the hidden boss, and being able to deal with the fire-eating Sierra Leone is equivalent to winning the jackpot for him, although Shiloh has the nature of a gambler, he is not naΓ―ve enough to expect a miracle to happen twice in a row.
However,
"Look, Mr. Shiloh."
Princess Elyfils's words made Shiloh's heart skip a beat, and he turned his head to see a shocking scene.
The corpse of the fire wolf turned into ashes and drifted through the cavern where the air was almost still, but if you looked closely, you would see that the ash that reflected the pale green fluorescence was actually flowing around the entire cave, and then, the ash suddenly emitted a red glow, and Shiloh saw that it was a gray powder that was burning violently.
The flames lit up the entire cavern, and there was no tendency to burn them all, and Princess Elyfils leaned slightly closer to Shiloh, her fingertips gently pinching his cuffs.
"It's ......"
Then Shiloh saw the middle of the cavern, which had been undetectable in the dark, but was now clearly visible.
There's a sword there.
The longsword that could only be held with both hands was covered with rust, and the strip of cloth wrapped around the hilt fluttered without wind, and it was stuck in the ground, with nothing around it, like a lonely tombstone.
"Let's go!"
Unwilling to fight, Shiloh pulled Princess Eliefils and was about to escape, but when he came to the broken rock wall, he found that it seemed to be blocked by some kind of magical barrier.
Damn, it's a combat blockade!
In the open area, the barrier set up to prevent the player from pulling the boss to the external map did not expect to exist in this world.
Click-
Shiloh was still looking for a way to break the barrier, when suddenly there was a faint noise behind him.
It was, the sound of iron foot guards, stepping on rocks.
Click-
Another sound made him turn his head.
Groove !!
I don't know how many times he shouted in his heart, Shiloh stared at the guy who appeared in front of him, and his mind quickly searched for relevant information.
It was a man who could be called "knight".
The blackened armor outlined his strong and tall figure, his whole face was in the shadow of the armor, only the eyes that seemed to be burning with flames, exuding amazing courage in the flickering firelight, the knight's right hand was lightly placed on the long sword, and the left hand hung down naturally, which seemed to be full of flaws, and it was impossible to start, and it seemed that he was going to drive the great sword with one hand.
Humanoid monster, is this CCE's malice again!?
In "Rainbow Verse", humanoid monsters can be regarded as the most difficult monsters to deal with in the dungeon, because compared to the violent and brainless output of the beasts, humanoid monsters are more sensitive and alert, as if there is a CCE employee behind the manual operation, even if the equipment is crushed, it is possible to be taken away by the other party.
And most importantly, humanoid monsters have no aggro and will prioritize attacking the healing class.
One of the most difficult dungeon bosses in the history of the "Rainbow Verse" game is the madman council composed of three humanoid monsters, which consists of a melee, a mage, and a healer, blocking all guilds for two months, and finally, it was not until CCE came forward that the team was able to kill the team after weakening the value of the boss, which also confirmed the theory that humanoid monsters are higher than average difficulty.
It can be expected that the game planners of CCE back then, while smiling, added the hidden boss in front of them to the novice's dungeon, waiting to see the confused expression of the player who entered by mistake, but perhaps it was buried too deeply, and in the end no player could experience this malice.
However, this malice has not been forgotten in the long river of history, but by Shiloh, who has experienced it in this world.
Humanoid monsters and hidden bosses, Shiloh really hopes it's just a dream.
However, as if to remind him, in his field of vision, basic information about this boss slowly appeared.
Trashur the Burner, humanoid, rare elite, leader.
