Chapter 304: The Valley of the Island
Time passed little by little, but the pirates seemed to be endless, and it seemed that they would not go away at all, and they were even wondering if this pirate was a refresher, and it was impossible to kill it at all.
But Brother Tian didn't say anything, since he did this, he naturally had his reasons, you know, Brother Tian would never do meaningless things.
Of course, Murong Xiaotian and Ling'er, who had fought pirates on Skull Island at the beginning, naturally understood this, and when they were there, they had been killing from the first day to the next day.
The number of pirates killed here now, to be honest, is still far from what it was on Skull Island!
The battle can be said to be more difficult the further you go, after all, the fatigue and hunger levels will decrease as time goes on.
The roar of the cannon continued from midnight to dawn, it can be said that it was a very difficult night, and Wild Battle and Thunder Xuan encountered several dangers, and it was Murong Xiaotian who rushed over to help relieve the siege.
When the temperature of the sun dissipated the mist on the island, the appearance of the island jumped into Murong Xiaotian's eyes.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Murong Xiaotian was still greatly taken aback.
I thought that this stone wall was meaningless here, but now it seems that I was wrong.
The rocks on either side of the stone wall, which wrap around from both sides, and then the zuihou close in the distance; It turns out that the heaven and earth behind the stone wall are simply a valley in the island.
In addition to being able to enter from the stone wall, the vast world behind the stone wall is surrounded by high cliffs, and the height of this cliff, the lowest place, is at least 100 meters or more.
Even if you go to Hell Island from somewhere else, it will be difficult to enter the valley within the island.
Unless you can fly, otherwise, it is not so easy to come down from such a high cliff.
Even if you prepare a 100-meter rope that you can climb down from above, your whole being is exposed to the enemy's target; To put it mildly, just a dozen or twenty level 40 skeleton pirates can kill you.
There is no need to shoot you at all, as long as you shoot your rope, a height of tens of meters, and fall down, you will have to die.
Behind the stone wall is a circular valley, and this stone wall is equivalent to the entrance to the stone wall.
The valley in this island is not large, with a radius of more than 1,000 meters, starting from the end of the 300-meter open field behind the stone wall, and extending backwards, all of which are jungles.
Six hundred meters into the jungle, there seemed to be a building, and it was very tall, maybe thirty or forty meters high, and from a distance, it was impossible to tell what it was; It is indeed very strange for such a tall building to appear in such a barren place in the free zone.
However, because the lower part of the building is blocked by a large tree more than ten meters high in the jungle, the specific appearance of the building is still not clear.
This building looks like the center of the valley in the middle of the island, and the rest of the valley is densely packed with towering trees.
The morning mist dissipated, and the faces of these pirates were clearly displayed in front of Murong Xiaotian and them, one by one, they were not at all the faces that a living person should have.
As Murong Xiaotian thought before, they were more like ghost-type creatures, but they still belonged to the Warcraft department; To be precise, when he was in the Huaxia District with Murong Xiaotian, he met the Berserker brothers and sisters for the first time, and the monsters he fought in the haunted house were almost the same.
Of course, the level of these pirates is not comparable to that of haunted houses.
Looking at the dense pirates in front of him, stretching into the jungle, Murong Xiaotian's mood was not relaxed at all.
The pirates in this clearing alone are enough for you to kill in a few hours, not to mention, the pirates are still rushing out of the jungle, you kill one, and it fills a gap.
Everyone's hunger and fatigue have dropped a lot, and you don't have the time to replenish it, when on Skull Island, those pirates attacked during the day and collected troops at night; But the pirates here attack day and night, and don't give you the slightest respite.
Of course, these problems are not unsolvable, as long as the two members of the cannon are stopped and the others take turns to rest and replenish food.
However, the most serious problem now is that there is not much energy ore needed for the cannon.
And this kind of energy ore is completely different from the ore used in the magic crystal cannon, and it cannot be replaced at all.
Among them, except for Ling'er and himself, who can't handle the two long-range attack magic, the rest are all melee liliang-type classes; Without the dominance of the cannon, Ling'er alone would not be able to stop the opposing skeleton pirates from entering the attack distance.
Once a situation is formed in which the opposing skeleton pirates cooperate with the one-eyed pirates to carry out long-range strikes and melee charges, let alone rotate and rest, I am afraid that the whole situation will immediately take a sharp turn and become precarious.
What's more, you can't predict how many more pirates there will be? Are there any higher-level pirates in the back?
"Ling'er! Can you see the jungle and the building? Take a closer look, the more detailed the better! Murong Xiaotian said to Ling'er in a deep voice.
It is an indisputable fact that there are not many energy ores in cannons, and it is also an indisputable fact that pirates are constantly rushing out of the jungle; If it continues like this, and when the energy ore is exhausted, there is only one result, and that is defeat.
Therefore, Murong Xiaotian had to understand the situation in the entire valley of the island in order to decide on his next move.
"The jungle in this valley is full of pirates, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is overcrowded, even in the jungle behind the building, to be exact, pirates have occupied almost the entire valley of the island!"
"Holy!" Murong Xiaotian shook his head secretly with a wry smile.
The entire valley of the island, centered on the building, has a radius of nearly a kilometer; Although it was all jungle, even so, the number of pirates that could be gathered in a kilometer radius of the jungle was staggering.
It seems that in addition to attacking them, this pirate has been gathering troops in the jungle all night, but I don't know, the pirates in the old nest have all been dispatched?
Thinking of this, Murong Xiaotian interrupted Ling'er's words and asked, "That building must be the pirate's lair, look at it, are there any pirates continuing to appear in that building?" ”
Although the sky had brightened and the fog had cleared, the distance from here to the building was only about nine hundred meters, but there were trees more than ten meters high, and Murong Xiaotian still couldn't see the situation in front of the building.
I'm afraid that in addition to Ling'er, only people who have the ability to probe like Mingxin's 'heart eye' can see clearly in this situation.
"That's not it!" Ling'er shook her head, and then said: "That building is very strange, it looks more like a humanoid statue, but it's just a human head, and the entrance to that building is the mouth of this human head statue!" ”
"Holy!" Murong Xiaotian smiled bitterly again.
A statue of a human head is thirty or forty meters high, so isn't the person himself hundreds of meters high?
Of course, a statue is a statue, he can't be the embodiment of a person, but Murong Xiaotian knows that any statue in this "Destiny" can't be untargeted.
Like the statues of the Three Hidden Knights, he is inseparable from the main story of Destiny - the ancient war of a thousand years ago.
Therefore, even if the statue has nothing to do with the Great War, it must have its own ancient legend.
It seems that this 'Hell Island' is much more complicated than I imagined.
There were no more pirates in the building, which means that, except for a few leaders, the rest of the pirates have already poured out of their nests and gathered in the jungle; Although this was a small comfort to Murong Xiaotian, it did not help the entire battle situation.
The pirates swarming in the 300-meter open space in front of you alone will use up the remaining energy ores, and then, what will you use to deal with the pirates in the jungle who are many times more than outside, or even more than ten times more?
"The pirates in the jungle are not blindly rushing outward, they are very organized and disciplined, and they are filled out in the form of legions according to the level of rank; In the jungle, there are not many skeleton pirates and one-eyed pirates, and then there should be level 55 werewolf pirates; A physically aggressive pirate with a very fast speed, a very strong attack, and the ability to jump! Ling'er continued to report on what she had discovered.
This news dealt a heavy blow to Murong Xiaotian's already miserable mood again.
The level 50 one-eyed pirates, fighting their defense of the steps are already quite difficult, if they are facing these level 55 werewolf pirates, the mad battle and Thunder Xuan will definitely not be able to hold it.
Even if it is a desperate wind, the result is the same, the werewolf pirate has the ability to jump, and the strategy of using the half-orc pirate as a shield completely loses its effect.
In this way, if you want to defend the ladder, except for the ghost warrior, the remaining three ladders, I'm afraid you need two people to defend them.
However, counting the heroes, there were only nine of them in total, and there were seven people just to defend the ladder, and there was almost no room for maneuver; Even if there are still a lot of cannon energy ores, the situation is also very unfavorable.
What's more, there are not many energy ores left; In addition, the furious battle and the defense of Thunder Xuan are extremely difficult, and without the assistance of the summoner, the speed at which they drink the life potion is quite amazing.
Although the Ghost Warrior and the Absolute Wind are better, they also have to rely on life potions to regain their blood!
Even if Murong Xiaotian brought more life potions, the number of them was limited after consuming them overnight.
"The most troublesome thing is that behind the level 55 werewolf pirates, there are all 60, long-range attacking ghost-faced pirate legions!" Ling'er's words again completely shattered the little confidence that Murong Xiaotian had left.
