Chapter 52: Attack
The first night at the Beechcraft Forest camp was spent peacefully amid campfires and the screams of monsters in the distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Except for a few monsters that didn't have long eyes that were shot, nothing else happened.
As the sky brightened, the fog that shrouded the forest gradually lifted. The aboriginal workers set up pots, threw away the dry food they brought, as well as the animal meat they had hunted and the wild vegetables and mushrooms they had gathered, and cooked a large pot of fragrant chowder porridge for breakfast.
In terms of the atmosphere during the meal, the camp is generally harmonious. But if you look closely, you will find that the people in the camp are faintly divided into two parts. The aboriginal professionals sat together, and the traversers gathered in another place, each eating their own food, and there was a clear distinction.
In this regard, Shen Xia, who only came to the camp yesterday, was inconvenient to say anything rashly, and he also knew that the aborigines had always been jealous of the traversers who had increased their strength extremely quickly. Since there was nothing to do, he could only take advantage of this opportunity for all the traversers to sit together and communicate more with the other traversers and get acquainted with each other.
Maybe this friendship is not solid, but it is very meaningful.
After all, the people who can appear at this node in the Beechcraft Forest camp are all masters among the traversers!
A morning passed in such small talk. As the sky gradually approached noon, the moisture in the Beach Forest was completely evaporated, and many magical beasts and monsters became active. The travelers and aborigines have also ushered in an excellent window of time to go out and move.
You can go out to gather herbs, hunt, and find ores.
You can also take the initiative to fight those difficult monsters and take the opportunity to hone yourself.
There are no restrictions on the camp, except that everyone cannot go out together, and some must remain in the camp. Also, no matter what happens, be sure to come back before dark.
"Would you like to hang out together?"
Seeing that there were traversers who prepared their weapons and left the camp, Wu Chengze, who had only met yesterday, thought about it and sent an invitation to Shen Xia and Fang Jin.
Whether it's for leveling up or getting acquainted with the Beechcraft Forest so that they can cross here to Beechcraft King City in the future, both of them have a reason to go out. The invitation to Wu Chengze was naturally readily accepted.
………
It has to be said that Beechcraft Forest is a place where opportunities and dangers coexist.
Speaking of opportunities, Shen Xia, Fang Jin and Wu Chengze went out frequently in the next few days, more than once in the forest near the camp to find valuable herbs and minerals in the open air, and also hunted a few beasts by the way, and got high-quality animal skins. There is Shen Xia's storage wrapped in it, and every time they return, the three of them are full of harvest.
As for the danger, it doesn't need to be mentioned.
Compared with the Ginkgo Valley in a remote corner, the danger index of the Beachy Forest, which stretches for thousands of miles, is undoubtedly one level higher. Not only can you encounter monsters such as the Nail Rake Cat, the Hooked Cat, the Poisonous Spider, and the Man-Eating Flower everywhere, but even elite monsters such as Scrooge Nine Lives, all three of them have encountered it at one time. If it weren't for the quick opportunity and the luck was not bad, the three of them were afraid that they would have to explain at least one.
But then again, such a wealth of monster resources has also accelerated the level of the three people a lot.
In just a few days, Shen Xia's rank began to accelerate towards LV5.
Although Fang Jin has not yet risen to LV4, his experience has also shrunk. After five or six more skirmishes, you should be able to level up directly!
If it can continue like this, it will undoubtedly be a dream for Shen Xia. It's a pity that this camp, isolated in the forest, has finally ushered in a crisis that needs to be faced. Although it was a day or two later than Wu Chengze expected, the new round of attack of the half-orcs was not absent.
It was the evening of the fifth day of their arrival at the camp.
In fact, a quarter of an hour before the orcs attacked, the traversers in the camp had already sensed the anomaly. The roar of insects, which used to be noisy after nightfall, became quiet for a short time. At the edge of the darkness at the end of the line of sight, a swaying black shadow faintly appeared, and there was a sense of slaughter in the air as if a big war was coming.
"More campfires! That could change tonight! ”
"All on alert!"
Aboriginal professionals who already had some experience, including the newcomer Mu Yun and others, took action with a serious face. Soon, the braziers prepared in the camp were lit, and the light of the fire dispelled the darkness and brightened the camp illumination. Shen Xia and the other traversers also realized that the big battle was coming, and they rushed to the defense line of the main gate with their weapons, and prepared to meet the enemy.
The scale of this attack was even larger than Shen Xia expected.
With the warning of the bronze bell on the arrow tower, the orcs who had already completed the assembly in advance rushed out of the darkness in unison. Although it was difficult to count them for a while in the chaos, as far as Shen Xia's intuition was, there were at least dozens of them. Perhaps it was the bow guards on the two arrow towers in the camp that they attacked more loosely.
As a result, the orc ranks became more and more bloated.
They are already very strong, but at this moment, they seem to be a little unstoppable!
"Attack! Attack! ”
Being charged by so many orcs together, the aboriginal bow guards were obviously a little panicked. Seeing that they were already in effective range, they immediately shouted out.
With the sound of a dense bowstring vibrating, arrows shot down.
These magically blessed arrows are quite powerful, but the orcs are much stronger than the average nail rake cat. Just its own defense, there are at least two defensive aura. A few particularly strong orcs even condensed three defensive auraes. Even if the arrow penetrates, the remaining strength will not be able to deal effective damage.
Fortunately, the bow guards have dealt with them many times, and they already have experience.
Their solution is that a few people stare at a half-orc and shoot!
In this way, the outer layer of the orc's defensive aura will be quickly crushed under the continuous attack, which in turn will greatly increase the lethality of the bow and arrow.
The downside to this is that the bow guards are limited in the number of orcs they can deter.
With the exception of a few orcs who rushed ahead and were targeted, the remaining orcs were not much of a threat until they were once again in the range of the mage.
Among the Native professions in the camp are at least four mages who have mastered the art of fireballs. Standing on the platform on the wall, his lips moved slightly, he silently recited a spell, and stretched out his hand to suddenly point at the oncoming orc.
The blazing and terrifying flames condensed into an orange fireball in their hands, whistling out.
Orcs have been fighting humans for many years, and they are quite familiar with this basic spell. Seeing the fireball roaring, a half-orc immediately waved the big stick in his hand and blocked it horizontally in front of him. There are also those who react quickly and are relatively sensitive, so they quickly dodge to the side. But there were still two fireballs that hit them with precision, exploding on the hard skin of the orcs.
Even if they didn't hit the vital point, the power of the fireball spell still caused amazing damage to the orcs!
The screams of the two half-orcs who were injured are the best proof of this.
However, the number of orcs that a few mages were able to intercept was also limited. After a few moments, the orcs finally rushed to the vicinity of the camp. The deliberately dug trenches were easily crossed by them, rushing to the earthen line and the main entrance of the camp.
The real battle begins!
