"At least I know that Cheng Ming's gang has gone on a trip, so it seems that I am too worried." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said, but Gu Qinyan asked on the side: "Hmph, Cheng Ming, Zhang Zhiwei, plus Xiaoyu, the three of them have all gone on a trip, and it is normal to leave the guild to Wu Tianlun to manage?" ”

"Isn't that strange? After all, the progress of the wasteland card has been stuck for more than a month, and it will be very tiring to change anyone. Lacey replied.

"But, first," Su Xing raised his index finger, and said with a Taoist analysis, "Xiaoyu and the five of them have a good relationship, right?" But I didn't travel to the same place. Xiaoyu said that they went to Thailand before, right? And Cheng Ming and the others went to Hokkaido, what was the awkward quarrel between the five of them? ”

"Hmm......" Xia Chiyu frowned, holding his chin and groaning. Su Xing continued: "In addition, the second point is that only Wu Tianlun is still in management, don't you think it seems that Wu Tianlun deliberately created this situation?" ”

"Hmph, let him toss as much as he likes." Gu Qinyan said with a cold face, "Anyway, there are some things that can't be explained clearly, so it's better to use facts to let those people understand." I'll be happy to say 'I sue you' when the time comes, and then take your time to appreciate the expression on their faces. ”

"What a black-bellied guy......" Xia Chiyu held his chin and said with a dry smile.

"Hey, you see, it seems that the day after tomorrow, after this Thursday's maintenance, the new version will be opened." At this time, Awakening suddenly pointed to the in-game announcement and said, "You see, this trailer says 'Next week, mysterious content update'. This should be the content of the new version that I discovered by eating fish before, right? Elder Dragon's Wrath and Magic Golems. ”

"Yes, I'm going to buy some Philosopher's Stones for backup." Xia Chiyu said, turned around and walked towards the auction.

However, at this time, the game has been overrun by the news of the new version. Players have stopped leveling up for the past two days, and they no longer play dungeons, but pay attention to and discuss the upcoming new version.

"Hey, you say. Will the new dungeon be a brand new group book? And there's new manufacturing! "The price of some materials will definitely increase, but I don't know if the level ceiling will be increased." "Anyway, looking at the back in the video, the new profession seems to be very handsome." "I'm really looking forward to it, I don't know who discovered this new version."

The next day, when Xia Chiyu and the four of them walked towards the barrier of the ark with Yuxi and others, the players were discussing the news along the way. However, the members who have been through thick and thin are a little worried about this new version of the news.

These large PVE guilds are like this, just like the princes. I am worried about the replacement of each version, and once a new copy is opened, the progress of the past is only the glory of the past, and it is still unknown whether it will be carried over in the next version. Especially for the PVE guild, getting good grades is a matter of course, and failing to get good grades will be teased and ridiculed.

"Eat fish, I heard that you found out about the content of this new version, right?" After sitting down at the Ark rampart. Chen Feng immediately hurriedly asked, "What is that new dungeon......?"

"A new team copy indeed." Xia Chiyu replied with a smile, and Chen Feng's face suddenly became solemn: "Then, should we start preparing for the new regiment now?" Prepare a walkthrough. Let the 1st Regiment, the 2nd and 3rd regiments prepare personnel. ”

"Probably not," Xia Chiyu asked, holding his chin, "Although it's a group book, it should be different from the existing team copy." Probably a higher-level team quest. Requires a player level limit, or the boss's health is fixed and does not increase or decrease with the number of players. And. I'm sure it has something to do with this manufacturing industry. ”

"Is it the puppet that Qianxue said?" Chen Feng continued to ask, his face full of worry: "What I'm more worried about now is whether this magic puppet created by the manufacturing industry can be used in previous copies. If we could, then wouldn't any guild be able to defeat Karazan and the Valley of the Fall, which we had worked so hard to get through? ”

"This ......" Xia Chiyu held his chin and muttered: "Your worries are also reasonable, but this will not be known until the official update." I don't think there's a need to worry too much, even with the magic golem, Karazhan is still a difficult quest. Moreover, judging from the white crane's previous urine, it should not be possible to let the magic puppet help open up the wasteland. Not to mention ......"

Xia Chiyu analyzed: "AO is a game that has a lot of fun, this kind of thing is only designed for a few high-end PVE players from the beginning, and this kind of thing should not happen to the whole people, otherwise the White Crane Company is tantamount to smashing its own signboard." You can rest assured about this. ”

"The tone is worried about that, let's save more magic stones, the price is going to rise sharply." Gu Qinyan frowned and said, "Although it has no impact on ordinary players, it is better for those who want to build cities to prepare some in advance." ”

"yes, got it." Chen Feng nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, then I won't say much, it's rare to come over, don't talk about these official things all the time, take a break, and go taste the food in the city!" ”

Chen Feng and the others are not interested in the new profession that is about to be released, and the PVE guild is usually like this, and will not let their existing members go back to practice the new profession, but will go to re-recruit. Because the current members must have a deeper understanding of the profession they are playing now. And new professions are usually not too quick to jump into PVE and PVP projects.

It will take a few months for the new class to be developed and tried by players before it will slowly have a fixed and suitable routine. Until then, the skills of the new class were mostly designed to be messy. Moreover, the new class will not be accepted by previous players until it has been proven to be relevant by a well-known player.

"Eat fish, what do you think of the new class?" Lin Qianxue asked at this time, "I'm thinking about whether to recruit a few new professions just in case, because this new profession will appear with the new version, maybe it will be related." If it's late, the excellent players will be poached, and you can recruit a few in advance, which will also help you a lot in the future. ”

"A new career?" Xia Chiyu muttered, "It is necessary to recruit a few, in my personal opinion." The new class should be a PVE-oriented class, with a somewhat similar style to mages, so it should be easier to pick up. And in some specific cases, there should be a fairly strong output capacity. ”

"Because it's a circle?" Gu Qinyan asked with a cold snort beside him.

"Yes, isn't it possible to prepare the circle in advance?" Xia Chiyu explained, "That's it. If you're sure you're going to play PVE after that, then you can just bring a big kill spell, right? ”

"It makes sense, you can omit the spell of controlling zhì, and the damage alone should be higher than that of the mage, right?" Lacey nodded.

"Then it depends on whether you can play, right? If the skill is designed randomly, the magic circle with it can't breathe and cooperate well, and the damage will definitely not be high, right? Su Xing pouted and said.

Lin Qianxue nodded: "Okay, I know." I'll pay attention to it, it's better to recruit two skills in advance. ”

When it came to the official update of the version, the truth was finally revealed.

In addition to the overwhelming array of new trailers on major video sites, forums, and even on TV, there are nine Elder Dragons in turn, flashy combo demos of new classes, and handsome magic golems.

This update. There are three main contents. One of them, "Wrath of the Elder Dragon". The detailed stories of the nine Elder Dragons will officially appear in the game, and the nine Elder Dragons will be refreshed around the world, in the form of playable bosses or quest NPCs, some will appear in dungeons, and may also appear randomly in the field area as a wild boss.

Each Elder Dragon will drop equipment of the same level as the player, as well as a "Treasure of the Elder Dragon", which can be opened to equipment above the Epic level, including all artifacts and artifacts that have not yet been captured by the player!

Presently. The highest level weapon that can be obtained from a dungeon is level 80, and even if the player is level 90, they can only hit level 80 equipment. However, the drop of the Elder Dragon is different. Drop equipment of the same level as the current player, you must know that the epic equipment of level 90, the weapon damage and attributes are comparable to that of level 80 holy weapons.

What's more, this treasure of the Elder Dragon can also open all the artifacts that have not yet been hit by the player!

"Alas. Now the AO players are going crazy to brush the ancient dragon again, right? Su Xing sighed and said, "What should I say, the White Crane gang really knows how to design it so that players can brush and brush infinitely." ”

"You're thinking too much." Xia Chiyu looked at the version information and said. "See? The Elder Dragons do not spawn indefinitely, each of them only has one chance to kill, and once killed, the Elder Dragons will no longer reappear in the game. And...... See? Elder Dragon, a level 100 monster, has a fixed HP when there are less than 25 players, and increases with the number of players when there are more than 25 players. ”

"So, it's a copy of twenty-five." Gu Qinyan sighed and said, "The boss who only has nine chances to kill in the entire AO is still level 100, and the drop is so good, it won't be very easy to think about, right?" In my opinion, this is not something that makes players go crazy, it will only make players go crazy to death, so don't think about it. ”

"However, there are also events in the new version." Pointing to the event perks at the back of the game version, Lacey said, "You see, each player can receive three of the highest level magic golems with a one-week expiration date. In addition, during a week, players can gain the 'King's Blessing' buff when challenging the Elder Dragon, which exempts them from the effect of death three times. ”

"Hey, this intention is really obvious," Xia Chiyu said with a dry smile, "Let the player experience the difficulty of the boss first, and save yourself from the weak struggle, right......?"

In addition to the new monsters and the magic puppet experience of the new manufacturing industry, there are also some formation mage leveling activities, such as exempting death penalty below level 50, and then giving some preferential items when you reach how many levels. There will be a similar event every time AO opens a new version, and players have long seen it.

"Since it's rare to have three death-free effects, why don't we try it once?" Xia Chiyu turned his head and asked.

"Try what? Four people running to challenge a boss with a twenty-five difficulty? No kidding, it's a level 100 boss, is there any other possibility than being killed in seconds? Su Xing said angrily.

"What's more, we don't know the location of the Elder Dragon, do we? Didn't you say that the Elder Dragon spawned randomly in the wild or in some dungeon? Lacey then asked.

"Well...... " Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows, and then turned to Gu Qinyan. Gu Qinyan obviously didn't quite understand what Xia Chiyu meant, but then he remembered: "You mean ......?"

"yes, how do you think I found out about this new version?" Xia Chiyu replied, "As for a few people, it doesn't matter at all, right?" We're mainly here to experience the strength of the Elder Dragon, aren't we? ”

At this time. A few little brain melons suddenly came over, and Yuxi took the lead in narrowing his eyes and asked, "Are you discussing where to play again?" Li Feifei said: "And you're not going to take us there?" ”

"I can't talk about it, I'm just going to die." Su Xing waved his hand and replied casually.

"Why can't you think about it?" Zhang Zinuo's beautiful eyes widened, and he asked with a simple face.

"No, it's not a direct death, it's a disguised death...... Xia Chiyu said with a wry smile, "You see, doesn't this new version say that there can be a king's blessing buff in the face of the ancient dragon?" Teleported to a safe area when we died, so we wanted to experience the power of the Elder Dragon. Let's see what Cheng dù's strength is needed to defeat it. ”

"Oh, isn't that the Elemental Factory we went to last time?" Lin Qianxue said suddenly, "So the hydra Gaznos will really refresh over there?" Eat fish, can I take someone from our guild to try it once!? ”

Xia Chiyu was stunned, and then smiled: "This is a good idea, if we go together, the chances are relatively big." ”

"Alas, but this time. It would be nice if Xiaoyu and they were there. Zhang Zinuo couldn't help but sigh and said, "Didn't everyone come here last time?" If you don't have them this time, it always feels like something is wrong. ”

"Then get them." Xia Chiyu grinned, "Even if it's abroad." You can also log in to AO, right? ”

……

So, that night, Xia Chiyu and the others gathered outside the eighth district, the Forest of Magic.

"Wow. After all this time, not much has changed here. Cheng Ming stood in the town of the Forest of Magic and looked around, and couldn't help but sigh. Zhang Zhiwei stood outside the window of the old man's union and looked inside, sighed and said, "It's so thick gray inside, I haven't been here for a long time." But the one in the City of Ancient Trees is exactly the same as this one......"

"I didn't expect both of you to come." Xia Chiyu said with a slight smile.

Liu Yiyu happily replied: "Because you said that we should go and review the good times of the past together, I left a message with Ah Ming and Xiaowei, and then they ran back to the hotel to go online." ”

"Really? But I still want you to tell me why I can't get through to your phone call? Xia Chiyu asked with a wry smile, Liu Yiyu checked his mobile phone curiously, and then said curiously: "Hey, why is the number of the fish eater in the blacklist of rejecting calls?" I haven't set it up.,Because I haven't played a few times since I added it.。 ”

"Well, really, mine too." Pepe and Xiaoyou checked their phones and said in surprise.

Xia Chiyu suddenly narrowed his eyes, exchanged glances with Gu Qinyan and the three of them, and then changed the topic back: "Don't talk about that, do you remember the hydra hatchlings we fought here before?" ”

"Remember, remember! It's such a super monster, if it weren't for the good command of eating fish, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to defeat it at all. Cheng Ming said suddenly, Zhang Zhiwei put his arm on Xia Chiyu's arm and smiled: "But ah, we should be able to brush it alone now, right?" ”

"Maybe, after all, they're more than seventy." Xia Chiyu said with a smile, "But I can remind you that I didn't plan to pass this boss this time." The other party is a hundred-level monster, and it is a copy that requires a minimum of twenty-five people, plus the people on Chenfeng's side, although he barely got together twenty-seven, but he basically went to die. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's not really going to die anyway! Isn't there a death-free buff? Xiao You patted Xia Chiyu's chest and smiled, "So, let's go quickly, I also want to see the so-called ancient dragon!" ”

In the AO setting, the Elder Dragon is "the closest creature to a god". The dragon god and the creator of all things belong to the same level of powerful gods, and the nine ancient dragons are the nine sons of the dragon god creator, and their strength can be imagined.

"So, has everyone brought their magic golems?" Xia Chiyu continued to ask, as an experience, each player now has three magic puppets to use. An attack-oriented, a defensive, and a support-oriented magic golem. Magic golems are of the same level as the player, and the time used depends on the level of the Philosopher's Stone.

And this magic stone, after opening a new version, has also appeared in more detailed classification, from broken magic stones, to complete magic stones, pure magic stones, flawless magic stones, perfect magic stones, and strengthened magic stones. The higher the grade of the Magic Stone, the longer it can support the Magic Golem.

Moreover, the magic golem itself is skilled. The skill consumption is also different, so the higher the level of the magic stone placed, the more advanced skills the magic puppet can use, which can be regarded as a disguised increase in attack power.

"Oh, you're the president of the Fish Guild. It's really a blessing, I can see that you must be good people, how many times have I dug the four of them, and they all insist on staying in the guild......" At this time, Chen Feng greeted Zhang Wei and Cheng Ming, and after a few pleasantries, Chen Feng turned to Xia Chiyu: "So." Eat fish, you will allocate the number of people and puppets, right? ”

Xia Chiyu nodded, and then checked the number of people and occupations on the scene.

"Twenty-seven men, five knights, seven swordsmen, ten mages, three assassins, and two gladiators; Among them, the mage counts me and Yuxi, two auxiliary mages, two healing mages, and the remaining six output mages; Knights, four big shield knights, and one big sword knight......" Xia Chiyu checked the configuration one by one, and said to himself, "Two auxiliaries, I feel that it is enough." ”

Saying that, Xia Chiyu assigned: "That's it." You don't need a secondary puppet, you can have me and Sister Yuxi, but for defensive puppets, we'll set up ten. Used to protect six mages, two fighters, two healers, and two supports. Then, all the rest are arranged as offensive golems. So, let's try it later. ”

However, before they can do so, they must first find a copy of the Hydra. It's not that hard. Xia Chiyu led everyone to the teleportation point he opened on the outskirts of the Elemental Forest last time, and as he expected, now this teleportation point has a few more places to teleport. Xia Chiyu checked it. In addition to the element factory on the lower level, there is also a ......

"Smelly Cave." Xia Chiyu checked the name of the teleportation point, then roughly observed the map, and immediately frowned and said, "My God, it's really big enough, this map." In terms of area, I'm afraid it's bigger than the entire map of the Magic Forest. ”

"Well, do you think it's going to be a whole new area?" Gu Qinyan asked beside him.

"It's very likely, but the Hydra itself is quite large, and I can't rule out the possibility that this entire map is just a lair of Hydra Gaznos." Xia Chiyu groaned.

"Anyway, you should have the death gaze debuff on you when you go, right? That should lead you to the quest map. Wake said, walking into the teleportation point first, "So, don't waste time. ”

Xia Chiyu shook his head and followed. The world collapses into green 0s and 1s, and then a new scene is formed.

When the scenery in front of them stabilized again, they came to an underground cavern. The cave seems to have been formed naturally, with lots of hanging stalactites, some forests and shrubs made up of plants growing underground, and a few scattered glowing mosses overhead. It is no different from the map area on the ground.

"Fishy cave, dangerous area, map level sixty-eight to eighty-six......" Xia Chiyu looked at the map level, and suddenly frowned: "Sure enough, it's a new map, but the level of this area is too high, right?" ”

"Hmph, sure enough, the effect of the death gaze." Gu Qinyan checked his character interface and said.

"We're ...... too," Xiao You couldn't help but shudder and said, "I always feel as if there is a very cold gaze watching me from the shadows, I feel so gloomy, I can't stand it anymore......"

"Anyway, be careful, this is a danger zone, which means that all creatures here are hostile. Go forward in a group and don't get separated. Xia Chiyu said, leading the team to continue forward. If this is a brand new map, there will definitely be other waypoints and even cities here. To advance through the danger zone, you must first try your best to find the next waypoint. (To be continued......)
