Chapter 42: The Ancient Tree Castle
Late at night, in the misty forest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the canopy of a thick and lush ancient tree dozens of meters high, Xia Feng sat on a water balloon cushion turned into jelly, with a tender branch in his mouth, and a pair of bright obsidian-like eyes, looking intently at the ancient tree castle in the distance.
Xia Feng is a person who does what he thinks, and after coming out of the mercenary association, he rushed towards the ancient tree castle at night before the city gate was closed. Relying on the recording function of the map system and the convenience of not having fog at night, it only took him a few hours to get to the side of the ancient tree fort.
Xia Feng did not suddenly enter the ancient tree castle, but chose a big tree with a wide field of vision not far away and stopped to investigate.
He is very aware of his current strength, at this time the ancient tree castle has become a goblin camp, and there will inevitably be no fewer strong people stationed in it, if he does not enter directly without any preparation, without those goblin masters, he will be killed by countless low-level goblin miscellaneous soldiers.
After all, he was only level 12, and his physical strength and vitality were simply not enough to support him to drive a Musou mowing lawn.
Since you can't hit it hard, you have to outwit it!
First of all, all you need to do is scout the enemy formation and get enough information.
Xia Feng took out a shimmering scroll from his space backpack and silently recited a spell in his mouth.
Then, the shimmer scroll snapped open, and a magical aura poured into his eyes. In an instant, Xia Feng's pupils became as sharp as an eagle, and the essence of light flickered!
- [Level 3 Eagle Eye Scroll]: After use, gain +300% vision and +300% increased visual distance.
This was found by Xia Feng from the old wizard's secret shop, and in addition to buying many forbidden materials, he also selected some useful magic items and spell scrolls inside.
The Level 3 Eagle Eye Scroll is one of them.
After obtaining the increase in the effect of Eagle Eye, the ancient tree castle that was originally hazy in Xia Feng's eyes suddenly became clear, and now it was also possible to see the goblins active in it.
"That's not enough," Xia Feng frowned slightly, and directly activated the silent vitality in his body, gathering the vitality on his eyes.
The originally sharp gaze became as clear and transparent as a lake under the cover of vitality.
For a while, my eyesight improved again.
For example, if you say that before the Eagle Eye Technique, Xia Feng's vision is standard definition Ivy picture quality!
After adding the Eagle Eye effect, it becomes HD.
Coupled with the increase in vitality, it is instantly converted into ultra-clear image quality!
At this point, I was able to see the goblins clearly.
After gaining an eyesight improvement, Xia Feng began to investigate. The probes worked as long as he saw them, and he stared at them, and his gaze quickly swept over all the goblins.
After a while, Xia Feng got the basic information about all the goblins in the Ancient Tree Castle.
However, this information made his eyebrows furrowed and his expression solemn.
"Now there are more than 3,000 goblins in the ancient tree castle, of which there are more than 300 that have reached level 10, and there are more than a dozen above level 20, and there are also cyclops in it!"
Cyclops, which is a terrifying monster, is born with a strength of 20 points.
"It's more than that......"
Xia Feng stared solemnly at the largest treehouse in the Ancient Tree Castle, even from a distance, he could feel the suffocating aura, just like he had felt in the Mercenary Association before.
"Goblin General above level 30!"
Xia Feng's heart sank, fortunately he didn't have the impulse, and chose to investigate in advance, otherwise it would be a bad thing.
"Looks like the plan needs to be revised. And in addition to the goblin general, there is another equally powerful aura, although that aura is a little weak now, but it also proves that there are at least two master-level existences in it! ”
Originally, he expected that there were only a few goblin commanders above level 20 stationed in the ancient tree castle at this time, and the goblin general should still be on the way to come.
However, when I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that I was very wrong!
"There's something strange about that, though." Xia Feng squinted.
Something must have happened that forced the Goblin General to drop his follow-up army and rush to this side ahead of schedule.
What is it?
Soon, he shook his head again, suppressing the clutter of thoughts.
Now it's not the reasoning that matters, it's what should be done next!
His main purpose in coming here this time was to disrupt the Goblins' [Forest Witch] summoning ritual.
Originally, his plan was to sneak in in the early morning when the fog was at its thickest, and as long as he didn't contact any goblins to fight, he believed in his stealth ability, even if the level 20 goblin commander couldn't find it, only if it wasn't discovered, he would have the opportunity to destroy the summoning ceremony.
However, now that there is a goblin general stationed in the ancient tree castle, the other party must also guard the summoning ceremony, so the battle is unavoidable.
Xia Feng knows his strength very well, he can easily kill any goblin below level 20, and in the face of the goblin leader, in a one-on-one situation, he can also compete with one or two in a state of full explosion.
But if you want to say yes, a goblin general above level 30 has only one result, that is, the two sides will be killed in seconds as soon as they look at each other!
Xia Feng stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "It seems that it is necessary to weaken their overall strength, otherwise don't think about destroying the summoning ceremony." ”
Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out a large pile of materials from the space backpack.
These materials are all obtained from the old goblins and old wizards, and the most important of them is the old wizard's pile of forbidden materials.
With this batch of forbidden materials, he can create a huge surprise for the goblins!
Thinking about it like this, Xia Feng suddenly felt grateful to the person who was so idle that he sank a few boxes full of gold coins under the big lake.
If he hadn't gotten the gold, he probably wouldn't have been able to afford even one of the ingredients.
If it weren't for this pile of materials, he would be really dumbfounded by now.
Shaking his head, Xia Feng retracted his scattered thoughts.
Take out a set of pharmaceutical tools from your space backpack and place them in front of you.
This set of pharmaceutical tools was also picked up from the old wizard's secret shop, and although it was not of high quality, it was enough to use.
Next, he's ready to make a drug, make a poison, and make a super poison that can poison a whole bunch of goblins!
In his previous life, Xia Feng had achieved the [Great Grandmaster] level achievement in the field of [Poison] specialization.
Don't think that only assassins use poison, hunters often encounter some unbeatable monsters, and in that case, using poison to weaken the other party is the best option!
Although there is no specialization column on his character card now, there is no display.
But the wealth of experience in making poisons remained in his mind.
And he also has a conjecture in his heart that needs to be verified.
