253、The Tree of Guardianship and the Tree of Wisdom (I)
After Yang Qianyu's popular science explanation, Li Xiang finally let go of his worries about dragon meat. However, his face was still a little unpleasant at this time - the reason was that he had been so frightened that he did not dare to swallow the piece of meat after learning that he had eaten dragon meat, and then he was relieved after learning that it was not in the way, and he choked on the piece of meat that had not been fully chewed.
Half a palm-sized piece of meat stuck in my throat feels absolutely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Yang Qianyu discovered his predicament in time and handed him a water cup in time.
Li Xiang couldn't wait to take the water cup, and just as he was about to drink it all, he suddenly thought of something and stopped his movements, and at the same time looked at the liquid in the cup with a vigilant expression.
"Rest assured, it's water." Of course, Yang Qianyu saw what Li Xiang was wary of, and said angrily and funny.
Li Xiang still looked at the cup vigilantly.
"It's really water." Yang Qianyu emphasized.
Li Xiang hesitated for a while, but finally drank the liquid in the cup. Then I saw that his face, which was flushed from choking, improved significantly.
"Phew-ha. It's finally alive. After smoothing down the barbecue stuck in his throat with clear water, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't be idle while you're taking refuge here." After seeing Li Xiang come over, Yang Qianyu turned his attention back to the grill to continue cooking the barbecue, and said to Li Xiang at the same time: "It's time to make a new plan for the construction of the Sanctuary Base." ”
"I see. Oh-" Li Xiang lazily lay on the blanket laid on the floor and waved his hand to signal that he heard it, and then he turned over and sat up as if he remembered something. "That's right. Speaking of the base building plan. I've heard that some new buildings have been added to the base now, right? ”
"Yes." Yang Qianyu was busy with barbecue while explaining to Li Xiang. "I don't need to say much about the new troops, you've already seen and understood their abilities. As for the new buildings, two new ones have been added, namely the 'Tree of Guardianship' and the 'Tree of Wisdom'. ”
"'The Guardian Tree'?" The Tree of Wisdom'? Li Xiang asked with interest, "What are their functions?" ”
"Well...... "I'll explain it."
Before Yang Qianyu could answer, Xue Xiaojing appeared and interrupted the conversation between the two. Previously, Xue Xiaojing was busy arranging the deployment of alchemy soldiers to the base, and only after finishing the work at hand did he learn that Li Xiang had also come to the Sanctuary base. When she came to meet Li and Yang, she happened to hear Li Xiang's question, and since she was the first to contact these new buildings, she took over the topic and explained to Li Xiang.
It is not accurate to say that it is a new building. This is because these two types of buildings can be built when the Sanctuary Base is first built. It's just that the team's funds were too small at that time, so these two buildings were not built for the time being.
The 'Guardian Tree', as the name suggests, is a defensive structure. Their appearance was similar to the Treant warriors that Zhou Si had summoned with the 'Force of Nature', and they were taller and thicker. Unlike other tree-man buildings, they are able to move their position, albeit at a very slow pace—no more than a hundred meters per minute. They can fight in two ways, either by slapping enemies who come close to them with their giant hands, or by pulling up nearby trees and smashing them as weapons. The other is to absorb the earth element of the earth on the spot, condense it into a huge stone projectile, and throw it at the enemy, which can reach a distance of about 500 meters.
As for the cost of construction. The cost of the 'Guardian Tree' is 24,000 gold galleons each. The upgrade cost is the same as the Tree of War and the Tree of Miracles (10,000 initially, doubled gradually), and each upgrade increases melee power, ranged range, and defense.
Now, in order to improve the defense strength of the Holy Domain, Xue Xiaojing used the team's funds to build sixteen 'Guardian Trees' in one go, and four were arranged in each of the four directions of the base, and with the patrol team of the alchemy soldiers, it was enough to resist the small-scale group of demonic beasts.
"In a nutshell, it's a mobile battery." Li Xiang summarized after listening to the explanation, and then asked, "Then can they leave the Sacred Domain to fight?" ”
"Theoretically, yes." Xue Xiaojing said, "If they are led by us as a combat unit, then they will leave the coverage of the Holy Domain. It's just that the 'Guardian Tree' occupies ten times as many commanding places as alchemy soldiers, and with the command power we currently have, one person can only command a maximum of ten. And once we remove our command over them outside the confines of the Sanctuary, they will quickly lose their power and dissipate on their own, rather than just not acting like the Alchemist Soldiers. ”
"That's right......" Li Xiang muttered and nodded. Tell me a little bit about the new building. ”
"No problem." Xue Xiaojing nodded in response, and then began to continue explaining.
The 'Tree of Wisdom' is a building with another function, and it is intended for the owners of the Sanctuary Base - that is, all the traversers. It is a building that provides additional skills to the Traversal. When it is completed, each traveler will be able to baptize in its built-in space, gaining access to additional skills.
"Extra skills?!" Li Xiang jumped up in shock when he heard this. "What kind of extra skill?"
"Well...... Xue Xiaojing didn't know how to explain. You can see it if you experience it for yourself. Yang Qianyu interjected to Li Xiang on the side. Just let Xiaojing perform a few tricks on you, and you will understand. ”
"Is that good?" Xue Xiaojing was a little worried.
"I see, then I'll try it myself." Li Xiang responded confidently to Yang Qianyu's proposal. At the same time, I saw him stand up, looking eager to try.
"Okay, then be careful." Xue Xiaojing reluctantly agreed.
"Come on!" Li Xiang replied confidently.
Xue Xiaojing didn't say much, just raised her hand and pointed at Li Xiang. I saw a circle of loess-colored halo shining under Li Xiang's feet, and at the same time, Li Xiang only felt that his body suddenly became heavy. "Huh?" After feeling his own abnormality, Li Xiang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. "Isn't this skill effect Liu Chang's 'sluggishness technique'?"
"Be careful! Look at the moves! Xue Xiaojing reminded Li Xiang, and then his left hand began to condense energy and glow. Feed! It's a big game, right?! "Li Xiang knew that Xue Xiaojing's inheritance skill 'Shadow Raid' had a violent poison effect, and he couldn't help but be shocked to see that she was actually going to attack himself with this skill. However, before he could stop him, Xue Xiaojing aimed at Li Xiang and shook his hand, only to see a blue light shooting towards Li Xiang.
"Wow! Kill! Li Xiang screamed miserably, and hurriedly cast the 'Divine Shield' to protect himself, only to see that the blue mang hit the golden light of Li Xiang's body and shattered, and a cold air suddenly spread around.
"It's actually an ice attribute." After Li Xiang was hit, he noticed that Xue Xiaojing's skill was not a shadow raid, and at the same time, he also realized that the blue light was actually a fist-sized ice bomb. "But what's the name of this move?"
"This trick is called 'Ice Bullet'." Yang Qianyu on the side explained: "The reason why you haven't seen it is because this skill is a skill that only a type of neutral creature on a battle map that has not been used for a long time in the 'Warcraft' game. The original name of the skill in the game was 'Ice Bullet', and the effect is slightly different from the 'Ice Bullet' we have mastered. ”
"'Ice Bullet'? Neutral creeps? Li Xiang asked in surprise. Could it be that the additional skills that this 'Tree of Wisdom' allows us to master are all those of neutral creeps in Warcraft? ”
"Not exactly." Yang Qianyu shook his head. "Like this." After that, Yang Qianyu waved at Li Xiang. Li Xiang, who had a bad instinct, didn't wait for a reaction, and a silver net fell from the sky, enveloping him in it.
"Hey! Isn't this the skill 'trapping' of the orc wolf rider?! Li Xiang, who was tearing the silver net but couldn't break free for a while, shouted. Even high-level troops have skills! ”
"Yes, that's it." Yang Qianyu nodded. "It's just that this skill is called 'netting' here."
"You can call it by name or anything!" At this time, Li Xiang was a little angry. "But how about untying this net first, please?"
"Ah, what about this......" Yang Qianyu spread his hands. There is no way to unravel it. ”
"What does 'no way' mean, hey?"
"Except for those who are recruited to break free on their own with strength, the silver network can only disappear on its own when the statute of limitations expires." Yang Qianyu explained: "Don't worry, my 'netting' skill is only at the Lv1 level, and the silver net can only exist for 30 seconds. ”
