Chen Kai worked hard to split the branches and various weeds that blocked the way, and looked at the macaques walking on the branches with envy. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info In fact, if it weren't for Chen Kai and them to lead the way, the old macaque would have arrived at the place where the matter was born with its offspring, instead of waiting for Chen Kai on the branches of the tree and they were advancing with turtles on the ground.
Of course, Chen Kai and the others were also very unhappy to move slowly on the ground, and the blood stains on the bamboo tube told them that the druid outpost not far away was being attacked by an unusually tragic attack. And Chen Kai and they must get there as best as possible, and collect the bodies of those dead druids.
Perhaps he was also responsible for being a thug for a macaque who wanted to avenge the death of his own kind, but Chen Kai really doubted that there would be anything left of the sentry post when they arrived at the sentry post with this turtle. Burn the remains of the sentry posts, or druids filled with arrows like porcupines, or evil creatures that hover over dead bodies.
However, when Chen Kai and the others rushed to the place where the sentry post was located as fast as possible, the fierce battle voice told them that maybe the battle was not over yet. At least that's what it sounds, and that's what it looks like from a distance.
"Okay, I admit it's really not a good errand," Fei Yun handed the glasses in his hand to Chen Kai beside him, as for those noisy macaques under Chen Yi's comfort, they were quietly following Chen Kai from a distance at the moment, while the huge old macaque was squatting beside Chen Kai irritablely, digging the tree pole.
"That's true, I really admire the strong will of the dozen guards and druids, who have been able to hold on to so many attacks from Earthwalkers." Chen Kai said in a tone of admiration, and in the line of sight of his telescope, dozens of demonized creatures more than one meter tall and four hooves on the ground were attacking the sentry post.
These demonic creatures with strange demonic horns have demonic names that do not match their strength, and although they are only demonic creatures, they are called earth-walking demons. The reason for this is their poor eating habits and strange behavior, they like to walk on their stomachs, even though their limbs are thick and powerful.
Of course, behaving strangely doesn't diminish their evil reputation, and almost all the people and creatures who curse them head-on are swallowed by them along with their bones at this point. And first they are knocked open alive to suck the brain marrow dry, and then they are slowly eaten after being dug out of the heart. That's why these demonic creatures are called demons, and their eating habits are so wicked.
"How thick do you think these guys are?" Su Xinghe pointed to the gray white skin of a terrain demon and said, from a distance, the appearance of the terrain demon looked like a washed white and chubby sow, with snow-white and pink skin with unusually cortical folds. Of course, if you exclude the blood-red blood stains and sharp teeth that come out of the mouth, its image will be a little kinder.
"Fourth, try if your crossbow machine can penetrate their skin and aim at the point, it would be better if it could be fatal with one hit" Chen Kai put down the binoculars in his hand and pointed to a terrain demon that was hovering under their noses, it was so close that Chen Kai could smell the ** smell on it.
If it weren't for the terrain demon being in the upwind direction, it is estimated that it would be very happy to raise its head and call its own kind about Chen Kai and their questions. After all, in addition to Chen Kai and the other twelve humans, there were hundreds of monkeys behind them, and the monkeys were really within the range of the recipes of these hungry demonic creatures. In fact, as long as it is meat in the game, there is no demon creature that will not eat it.
The most criticized monster premise of Siyuan is that they are always eating, and carnivores often eat players as food. Therefore, every player must check the damage of their equipment after resurrection, and those who are lucky have not been touched by beasts, and those who are unlucky usually have to break their fortune once.
Obviously, the Terrain Demon is a representative of this type of creature, because according to its behavior, it eats almost any meat, including the player's meat. So for Chen Kai and them, this creature is very dangerous, they are not only aggressive, but once Chen Kai and them are wiped out, they will also make them ruined.
So before attacking them, Chen Kai had to know if their weapons could hurt these monsters. Crossbow machines and bows and arrows are the best means of this temptation, and the silent crossbow machine is a better means than bows and arrows.
Fei Yun quickly loaded his precious crossbow machine, and lightly aimed at the terrain demon who was licking his wounds not far away. The guards at the sentry did not repel the monsters, but at least they did some damage.
"Whoosh" As Fei Yun put the head of the terrain demon into the Eagle Eye sight on the crossbow machine, he gently pulled the trigger, and then the crossbow machine on the crossbow machine rushed straight towards the terrain demon with a soft sound. In order to ensure the penetration of the crossbow arrows, Fei Yun did not use a company, but shot alone. Therefore, the degree of crossbow arrows is unusually fast, and the power is also very large.
The bolts quickly crossed a large space and rushed straight to the back of the demon's head. And under Chen Kai's gaze, he penetrated its skin and drilled in, but the result was not particularly satisfactory. The bolt that burrowed into the back of the demon's head didn't shoot straight through the bone, but only a third of the way through it and stopped there.
The terrible humming sound came out of his mouth at the moment when the crossbow arrow pierced the back of the demon's head, although at that moment Chen Kai had the feeling of hearing the cry of the pig when it died in a certain documentary killing scene, but this sound was not good news for Chen Kai or others.
The screams of the Earthwalkers thought that they might be revealed, and at the same time, they thought that a large number of Earthwalkers would turn around and search the forest. In fact, Chen Kai's guess was quickly confirmed, and more than a dozen terrain demons retreated from the ranks of attacking sentry posts the moment they heard the shout, and quickly rushed to the bottom of the mountain forest where Chen Kai and them were.
Before Chen Kai and the others began to retreat, they had no time to retreat. For those earth-walking demons had rushed into the mountains and forests in a terrible way, and the trees could not stop them at all under their impact.
In just thirty seconds, Chen Kai and the others had to deal with these Earth Demons who rushed over. Of course, the first to attack is always the farthest attack, and it is a spell attack for the purpose of delay, and by the way, there is also an arrow attack for the purpose of killing.
The several pure white cobwebs that opened in that moment were the first wave of offensive by Chen Kai and his group, or rather defensive offensive. Swarm Cobweb, an upgraded version of Cobweb, is an easy-to-learn spell to cast. It's just that the more depressing thing is that the input and output of this spell are not proportional, and the consumption is very large but the results are very small.
Five or six jars of adhesive for casting spells can only release a maximum of three or four cobwebs, and the rest of the adhesive will not know where to run during the spell casting. But at this time, He Liwen didn't care much about this kind of loss, she was more concerned about her own life than gold coins. Therefore, the three or four spider webs were instantly released on the bushes in front of Chen Kai and them, and the white spider silk blocked the path of the Earth Walker like a large curtain.
Of course, three or four cobwebs can't have any meaningful blocking effect on those terrain demons, they will use their fangs and strength to tear apart the cobwebs that can stick to any monster weighing less than a ton, as simple as Chen Kai cutting a watermelon with a knife.
The only purpose of these cobwebs is to delay their degree, and by the way, there is a certain chance that one of the hapless earthwalkers will fall. However, Ho Liwen is trying to make this possibility a little more likely, using one of the wizard's spells, the greasy spell.
Although in forest terrain, the soil on the ground will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the greasy technique, and may not be effective at all. Because the greasy technique makes people slip by reducing the friction on the ground, which is very effective even in the real world. For example, a person who sprays cooking oil on a smooth marble floor will definitely be beaten up by a guy who walks across the marble floor and falls, but a person who sprays cooking oil on the yellow earth will be treated as an idiot because the oil is quickly absorbed by the soil.
However, this qiē becomes very low under the influence of spells, and although the lube is certainly absorbed by the soil, the process becomes slightly slower under the influence of magic. At least it looks a little slower, as the two Earthwalkers who rushed to the front tasted the benefits of the Greasy Technique first.
At least it seemed to Chen Kai that the two Earth Demons had slid down the moment their hooves stepped on the ground covered by the Greasy Technique. Yes, you must know that the place where Chen Kai and they are located is a hillside, although the slope is very low, but these guys with fangs on their mouths are honestly slipping and slipping from the upper part of the hillside to the lower part of the hillside, and they also eat a mouthful of dirt and dead branches and leaves.
It's a pity that they didn't take much damage when they fell, only slightly reduced their HP value by about one or two points, and in Chen Kai's opinion, it wasn't as much as the damage caused by the bleeding and internal injuries caused by the crossbow arrow stuck in the back of the head in a second.
However, Chen Kai's concern now is not the issue of damage, but whether he can quickly open up a blank area, because Bai Shasha will soon set fire to the area where the ground demons continue to slip or trip over spider silk. In order not to be roasted into a pig by the flames that went up, or smoked into bacon, Chen Kai had to quickly open a fire isolation zone.
Although Chen Kai estimated that the flames would not cause much damage to those earth-walking demons, they could at least stop them. By the way, reduce the number of Earthwalkers who attack in front of them to single digits, if that's possible.
In fact, Chen Kai himself didn't believe that those demons would be sluggish because of a man-made forest fire, and by the way, they would rush out of the fire one after another like piglets lined up to be slaughtered. But when there is no way, this is not a good solution, and by the way, it can also remind the guards who are fighting hard in the sentry post that they are not fighting alone.
In fact, when Chen Kai and the others attracted more than a dozen Earth Demons, these guards had already burst into cheers. Even if Chen Kai didn't want to do this, they couldn't stop the guards in these sentry posts from having a certain desire to continue to live, after all, although the number of Earth Demons besieging the sentry posts was large, it was only a few dozen.
If there were hundreds of Earth Demons besieging the sentry post, then the first thing Chen Kai and the others had to do when they saw this situation was to count the number of guards. If there are a lot of them, they will stay, and if there are few of them, they will run away with the macaques as soon as possible. Or maybe they'll come back, but they will definitely wait until all the earthwalkers are gone, and then pick up some of what is left.
It's just that at this moment, Chen Kai is facing that if he can't block the attack of those Earth Demons, then it is not them who need to pick up things, but players or adventurers who may come over. Although this is highly unlikely, the most likely is the Druid reinforcements who have arrived after the current outpost has been attacked.
In fact, neither Chen Kai nor Xu Fei, nor anyone else wanted to be like that. There are so many important things on them that once they hang up, the loss will be very large. Therefore, neither Chen Kai nor anyone else wants to be hung up here.
So while those Earth Demons were constantly trying to rush up the hill in a clumsy manner, Fei Yun and Zhou Xuan were shooting at these Earth Demons with their best efforts. They did their best to stop the landwalkers from standing up, or making detours up the hill from both sides. Xu Fei and Wang Xuewen were constantly dancing gods, waving their fingers to cast the most powerful spells they mastered, of course, spells that did not require special means.
After all, if every spell required sacrificial spell equipment, even if Chen Kai had more than a hundred magic crystal coins stuffed into his backpack, he would not be able to withstand this kind of consumption. They were just playing games, not burning money, and the Sacrificial Spell was the most like burning money spell that Chen Kai knew.
And a normal spell that only consumes mana and time is the only spell that will not make Chen Kai, who feels that he does not have enough money in his pocket, not be disgusted. At least that's what Xu Fei and Wang see, especially after Xu Fei's arcane cannonball that required a magic wand was also banned by Chen Kai. Due to the large consumption of players and the decrease in the supply of spell wood to make wands, the price of the wand has doubled. Of course, the natural harmony of all things needs to be mainly responsible for this, and so are the black-hearted businessmen by the way.
Therefore, the arcane cannonballs that were classified as sacrificial spells by Chen Kai are now included in the list of forbidden casts in the near future, unless there is an emergency that is about to hang up, otherwise these sacrificial spells are forbidden by Chen Kai. Therefore, Xu Fei and Wang Xuewen could only rely on their magic power and long spells to attract the surrounding spell elements and cast the spells they needed to cast.
"It's such a damn thing, why can't we use Lightning Powder?" Wang Xuewen, who had just implemented a secret lightning bolt, complained to Xu Fei, who had also finally cast an arcane lightning chain.
"Because those powders are too expensive, ten grams worth of gold coins, Brother Shui is now feeling that he is in a financial crisis, so we need to save a little and the lightning magic powder does not have the effect of thunder and lightning magic crystals, it can only increase the spell casting degree by 2%." Xu Fei sighed and said, due to the strength of many player guilds, the price of spell materials on the market has more than doubled, and even when the aboriginal mages are complaining, there is basically no lone player mage who does not complain.
Even if their boss has a lot of gold in his backpack at the moment, sometimes the gold doesn't necessarily change the materials they need, after all, the spell materials that can be circulated in the entire market are limited.
"Feige's thunder and lightning crystal seems to be more expensive than lightning magic powder, right?" Wang Xuewen asked Xu Fei while checking the effect of his spell, it seemed that in his memory, the price of the thunder and lightning magic crystal was one zero more than that of the lightning magic powder, and it was the same weight.
"So I'm useless," Xu Fei replied, and then began to chant the second spell, the effect of the spell attack just now was still okay. Although there was no expected situation where the Earth Demons were paralyzed, the total damage of nearly two thousand points still made Xu Fei very satisfied.
In fact, Xu Fei would be more satisfied if the resistance of the Earth Walk Spell that was hit was a little lower, at least he didn't have to waste more mana on the spell to strengthen a spell that was already very mana-consuming, and this spell could not give those Earth Walk Demons any sluggish effect. Especially when the flames burn, his vision will be affected, and the spell damage he can contribute will become lower.
In fact, Xu Fei is the most opposed to arson, after all, this method is not reliable, and if he is not careful, he will set himself on fire. Even though it was the best way they could think of to block the distance between the Earthwalkers and them, it was the easiest and quickest way to work.
"Boom" Just as Xu Fei was reciting the second spell, a huge flame rose up quickly, and spread along the greasy magic ground flowing on the ground to the feet of the Earth Walking Demon with a look of fear. They pressed against the ground, and their bellies were instantly tested by a burning heat, and they made a sizzling sound.
At the same time, the scorching flames were providing Bai Shasha with an ample source of fire elementals, adding her attack to a certain extent. In fact, this situation seems very reasonable to many elemental mages, and when they are near the pool, the cast power of the water elemental mage will increase, and even become more powerful. Of course, there are also people who think it is very unreasonable, and when the earth elemental mage learns offensive spells, those who PK with the earth elemental mage will have this kind of complaint.
Fighting an Earth Mage on the ground is the most unwise and disgusting thing to do, as the Earth will provide them with enough Earth Elemental to explode. And this is something that other mages don't have, after all, a lot of times the place where you walk is the earth. This is the most frustrating thing that many players are most likely to do when fighting Earth Mages at this stage, as they can cast short Earth Elemental spells, such as Earth Thorns, in a very short period of time. (Many players call the Earth Spike Technique a Chrysanthemum Explosion, because those Earth Elemental Spellcasters always like to let the Earth Spike rush up from the ground where the opponent's ** is located)
As a fire mage, Bai Shasha becomes more likely to gather fire elementals in places where items are burned, which becomes more noticeable when she advances to the rank of Fire Elemental Mage, or Elemental Wizard. And at this moment, she only needed one second to condense a large fireball that would have taken 2 seconds to release.
Although these fireballs smashing into the Earthwalkers could only produce less than a point of damage, compared to their own fifth-order, 100,000 HP was really negligible. But there are exceptions to everything, the continuous fireball will eventually smash the earth-walking beast in pain, and the fire elemental damage will accumulate to a certain extent, and it will also be fatal.
This situation is called elemental damage accumulation and explosion in the game, and there is always a limit to the resistance of both humans and monsters to a certain element, and they can absorb some of the spell energy, but never too much. Spell energy that crosses a certain boundary will create a strange area on them, and as more elements invade that area, their bodies and lives will start to deteriorate.
As monsters in the game, the intelligence of the Earth Demons is low, and according to a certain magical creature guide, their intelligence is equal to that of a roe deer. A silly creature that responds to cries, and even the most silly they know pain, especially when the fire elemental burns their bodies.
Therefore, when a large number of fireballs that were so fast that even a certain hapless earthwalking demon could not react to it slammed into it, the huge pain would make the demonized creature choose a way that Chen Kai liked very much. Backwards - out of range of Bai Sasha's spell attack - then attack again in a different place.
Although this had no effect on the reduction of the number of Earth Demons, at least Chen Kai didn't have to worry about being besieged by several Earth Demons when he was smoking. At least until Bai Shasha's magic and the grease in He Liwen's backpack ran out, he didn't have to worry about that.
What Chen Kai had to do now was to face one of the Earth Demons, and then try to kill it before the other rushed over. Of course, if he could break through a seal of the giant sword when he hacked it to death, Chen Kai would feel a little happier, even if this possibility seemed to him to be basically impossible. But Chen Kai still used his own method to explode his fighting qi, and then swung the giant sword with the light of the fighting qi to slash at the body of the Earth Walking Demon.
