Chapter 33: The Bandit Cottage (2)
The 'Bandit Cottage' sits on a treacherous mountain. The mountain was steep, and if you went up the mountain, there was only a staircase opened by the bandits for the two of them to walk side by side. Other than that, there is no place to stand.
After confirming that the 'Delusion Guild' could clarify his destination, Zhao Dabao sped up and shook off the two 'tails' behind him. No matter how confident he was in himself, he didn't dare to compete with a player force while attacking a level 20 dungeon alone.
The premise of the dungeon in "Fantasy" is very interesting. A quest cannot be called a quest until it has been successfully exploited. Still part of the public map. In other words, at this time, any player can participate.
This setting has been complained about by countless players. In Zhao Dabao's memory, I don't know how many people were snatched by others at the last moment of conquering the dungeon, and the efforts of the director were in vain.
Although he was not afraid, he had to guard against it. This assignment is related to whether he can join the 'Inspection Division' and will have a great impact on his future development. Zhao Dabao would definitely not let the players of the 'Delusional Guild' have the possibility of causing trouble for him at this time.
Due to the difference in movement speed between the two sides, players of the 'Foolish Guild' have to arrive at the 'Bandit Cottage' two hours after their arrival, to say the least.
With two hours, Zhao Dabao believed that he had enough to conquer this copy. It just so happens that you can also take advantage of the terrain of this dungeon to give those guys in the 'Delusional Guild' a head-on attack.
If you want to scare the 'Foolish Guild' and make them dare not come against you again for a certain period of time, it is not enough to teach them a lesson. Zhao Dabao had already made a complete plan on the road, and he was waiting for the players of the 'Delusion Guild' to cooperate vigorously.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the cottage halfway up the mountain, Zhao Dabao silently recalled the information related to it in his heart, and then cautiously began to climb.
This copy of 'Bandit Copycat' can be divided into three parts. They are the 'bow-wielding bandits' and 'spear-throwing bandits' headed by the 'three masters' at the gate of the village; the 'big sword bandits' and 'knight bandits' headed by the 'two masters' on the school field in the middle of the village; the 'heavy hammer bandits' and 'dart bandits' headed by the 'big masters' in the Juyi Hall behind the stockade and the area of residence.
The 'Three Masters' at the gate of the village is a level 20 knight with the template of 'Rare Elite Leader', and his strength should not be underestimated. However, this part has the advantage that the three masters will not attack the player until they enter the gate.
The two types of bandits at the gate of the wall, whether they are 'bow-wielding bandits' or 'spear-throwing bandits', are the types that are good at long-distance attacks. In hand-to-hand combat, even players with only level 10 can easily take them out.
When faced with such a situation, ordinary players will generally choose to break through the gate as quickly as possible, and find a way to start a hand-to-hand battle with them.
But to do so is to fall into the trap of the system. Once you enter the walled gate, the 'Three Bandits' will shoot like a player. Compared to the other two bosses, this 'three masters' are best at group attacks. With him in charge at the gate of the wall, it is impossible for the player to have a chance to come into contact with those 'bow-wielding bandits' and 'spear-throwing bandits' who release cold arrows before they kill him. On the contrary, they will be killed and injured by a large number of them while being restrained by the 'three masters'.
At the beginning, when I was attacking this dungeon, I don't know how many players stepped into this trap, and the guide strategy failed. Relatively speaking, the best way to get through this part of the level is to choose to fight from a distance that the player is not very good at, and take the lead in solving the 'bow-wielding bandits' and 'spear-throwing bandits'.
The reason why it is relatively is because this method is actually not so easy. With this strategy, the 'Bandit Three' will throw a log from the stockade every minute that deals 300 damage and knocks the player back. Due to the narrow roads, the player's standing is bound to be very dense. In this way, it is difficult for the players behind to react when facing this sudden rolling log.
It's just that it's easier to face the rolling log than to directly face the 'three gangsters'.
For Zhao Dabao, this is not difficult at all. He was only alone, and as long as he could get out of the way, he didn't have any other considerations.
As for the way of fighting from a distance, he had already been well prepared. A fine-level 'horn standing bow' and three bags of 100 barbed bamboo arrows are definitely more than enough to deal with 8 'spear-throwing bandits' and 12 'bow-wielding bandits'.
Horn War Bow (Fine): A strong attack made of horns and tendons, which can launch an effective attack on targets within 200 meters. Attack +30. Equipment requirements: Level 15, Physique 30, Root Bone 20, Qi and Blood 20.
Barbed Bamboo Arrow (Mortal Weapon) (100/100): A bamboo arrow with a barbed arrow. Attack +2.
After hitting an enemy, this 'barbed bamboo arrow' will definitely double the opponent's external injuries as long as the opponent pulls it out. It is the most cost-effective arrow that can be bought in the novice village.
Instead of choosing to go up the stairs dug by the bandits, Zhao Dabao slowly climbed from a relatively easy place little by little. Other players who are still in the novice village may not have this ability, but for Zhao Dabao, this is not a difficult task. Even if he encounters a rock wall that he can't stand on, he has a variety of ways to artificially create a point that can be forced; Or simply jump up and go to a higher place where it can stand.
Found a crooked neck tree with unusually dense branches and foliage less than 100 meters away from the gate, and Zhao Dabao used it as his sniping point. From the 'mustard seed bag', the 'Horn War Bow' and a bag of 'Barbed Bamboo Arrows' were removed. After hanging the quiver on his waist and probing the movement of the target, Zhao Dabao opened his bow and began his sniper operation.
Bow Bandit (Rare Elite): Level 16, Health 1100. The bandits of Jiuyuan Mansion, Linyuan County, Big Oak City, Gaoliu Town, and No. 6 Village 'Bandit Cottage' are good at using bows and arrows to attack from a distance. Close combat is weak, and once it is close, it is difficult to fight back.
Spear Thrower (Rare Elite): Level 16, 1200 health. The bandits of Jiuyuan Mansion, Linyuan County, Big Oak City, Gaoliu Town, and No. 6 Village 'Bandit Cottage' are good at throwing spears and attacking from a medium distance. Close combat is weak, and once it is close, it is difficult to fight back.
Because they are humanoid monsters, even with the 'Rare Elite' template, these 'Bow Bandits' and 'Spear Throwing Bandits' don't have much life.
This is also because of the first strategy dungeon. Once Zhao Dabao's strategy is successful, and other players enter this dungeon, these ordinary bandits will all become just 'special' template mobs. Combat power will be greatly reduced, and health will become lower.
The Terrans are a race that has no weaknesses. But correspondingly, their Achilles' heel and vital parts are much more than those of other lives.
For Zhao Dabao, it is not too easy to attack these positions.
An arrow was fired, and the heart of the 'bow bandit' standing on the watchtower closest to him instantly burst into bright red blood. He let out a terrible scream, shook twice, and fell directly from the watchtower made of bamboo and wood, and he couldn't die anymore.
The sudden death of a companion sent the bandits into a panic. They kept looking around, but they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
The 'three bandits' sitting behind the small gate of the village couldn't sit still at this time. I saw him stand up, with a look of anger, the conference can shout this, let those bandits quickly calm down, someone is attacking the mountain, we must find that guy, let him see how powerful they are.
As soon as his words fell, before those bandits could react, Zhao Dabao's second arrow had already left the string. The second 'Bandit with a Bow' also fell, and the remaining bandits suddenly became even more panicked.
I only heard the angry shout of the 'three bandits', and the toes pressed a little on the ground, and the body rose into the air and landed on a watchtower that was no longer empty. When the third 'bandit with a bow' died under Zhao Dabao's sharp arrow, the 'three bandits' also discovered Zhao Dabao's hiding place. Loudly ordered the remaining bandits to attack Zhao Dabao.
What he didn't expect was that just because he could see it didn't mean that other bandits could see it too. The view of the tree where Zhao Dabao was hidden was indeed very lush. The distance is another hundred meters, and these ordinary bandits can't find Zhao Dabao's figure at a glance like his 'three bandits'.
It wasn't until the six 'bow-wielding bandits' on the left side of the gate all died under Zhao Dabao's arrows that the remaining bandits finally discovered Zhao Dabao's traces. In an instant, more than a dozen sharp arrows and spears roared towards the crooked neck tree on Zhao Dabao's body with a burst of sky-breaking sounds.
In this regard, Zhao Dabao has long been prepared accordingly. The 'Curved Horn Stretch' skill was activated instantly, and the six sharp curved horns extending from the 'Hexagonal Goat King's Curved Horn Arm Shield' formed an impenetrable shield in front of him, blocking the spears and arrows that could cause damage to him one by one.
In the face of such a situation, the 'three bandits', who can't shoot arrows with their bows and don't have any long-range means of attack, can only beat their chests and let out helpless roars. watched Zhao Dabao harvest his subordinates one by one, and there was no solution.
That is, in three minutes, the 20 'bow-wielding bandits' and 'spear-throwing bandits' who stood on top of the watchtower were all killed by Zhao Dabao one by one.
After putting away the 'Horn Standing Bow' and 'Barb Bamboo Arrow', Zhao Dabao activated the 'Leap Hard' skill. He jumped and landed on the stairs opened by the bandits. With one hand 'the spiked soft whip of the elephant trunk stabbing pig king' and the other hand 'swallowing clouds and spitting out fog flags', he strode towards the small gate of the village.
Where can the 'three bandits', who have long been red-eyed, still be able to withstand it? I only heard him shout, 'What a thief, look at how your third grandfather takes your dog's life', so he jumped down, waved the 'ring-eared tiger head knife' in his hand, jumped from the top of the watchtower, jumped to the top of the stairs in front of the walled gate, and rushed over with a meteor in stride against Zhao Dabao.
For the sake of safety, Zhao Dabao still put a 'insight technique' on the body of the 'three gangsters'. At the same time, he recited the spell of 'Tripping Horse Charm', preparing to give him a dismount first.
The Three Bandits (Rare Elite Leader): Level 20 knight, 2800 health, 1450 internal strength. The three masters of Jiuyuan Mansion, Linyuan County, Big Oak City, Gaoliu Town, and No. 6 Village 'Bandit Cottage' are brutal by nature and easy to get angry. The cultivation has 'Fighting Waves and Storming Waves', skills: charging a blow, cutting off the head, pushing the wave palm, and shaking the waves.
Fighting Waves and Waves: Level 3 (level 10), Physique +60, Meridians +60, Root Bone +120, Qi and Blood +120, Internal Force +450. The advanced exercises of the 'Longmen Sect' of the Daimyo's Mansion and Longmen County have the power to turn over the river and the sea.
Charged Strike: Level 10 (level 10), condense internal force and unleash a slam at the target. Deals 100+ internal force damage with additional internal force (up to a maximum of 2600 internal force). For each additional 100 internal forces, charge for 1 second. Cooldown: 3 seconds.
Decapitation: Level 7 (level 10), consumes 400 internal forces, and unleashes a slash equivalent to 170% of a normal attack at the target, and takes a judgment. Based on the target's reaction and psychic strength, determine whether to trigger the 'Critical Strike' effect. Cooldown time 30 minutes.
Push Wave Palm: Level 5 (Level 10), the primary palm method recorded in the 'Fighting Waves and Waves', consumes 250 points of internal force, and pushes a palm accompanied by strong internal force fluctuations to a range of 5×5 meters in front of the body. Units within the radius will not only take 500 internal damage, but will also be knocked flying by this powerful internal force fluctuation. The effect of 'Knock Away' varies depending on the target's root bone and physical strength. There is a certain chance of causing internal injuries to the target, depending on the target's meridians, qi and blood strength. Cooldown time is 3 minutes.
Storm Fist: Level 1 (Level 10), an intermediate punch recorded in the 'Wave Fighting Skill', consumes 200 points of internal force, and throws a punch accompanied by strong internal force fluctuations within 10×10 meters in front of the body. Units within the radius will not only take 400 internal damage, but will also be knocked away by this powerful internal force fluctuation. The effect of 'Knock Away' varies depending on the target's root bone and physical strength. There is a certain chance of causing internal injuries to the target, depending on the target's meridians, qi and blood strength. Cooldown time is 5 minutes.
There is no difference from the 'three bandit masters' in memory, except for being careful of the other party's 'severed head knife' skill, this guy is here in Zhao Dabao, and there is nothing special to care about.
'Charged Strike' is a must-have skill for every knight, and the effect is like that, it's not a big deal. As long as you pay attention, with Zhao Dabao's current reaction and movement speed, it is impossible to be hit by the other party at all.
The existence of the two skills of 'Pushing Wave Palm' and 'Storm Fist' is the foundation of the 'Three Bandit Masters' being able to 'be a husband and a man'. It is precisely because of these two powerful area damages, the effect of 'knocking away', and a certain chance of causing internal injuries to the target, that it is difficult for players to engage in melee combat with 'bow-wielding bandits' and 'spear-throwing bandits' after conquering the walled gate, which greatly increases the difficulty of conquering this dungeon.
Although the 'knock-out' effect of these two skills will be divided according to the target's root bones and physical strength, no matter how strong they are, they will definitely be 'knocked away' by a certain distance, even if it is only one millimeter. The slightest omission cannot be tolerated. The moment the character is knocked into the air, the character will inevitably appear in a state similar to 'stiffness', unable to react in any way. In such a situation, it is very likely that the other party will take the opportunity to surprise and succeed.
Not to mention that these two skills have a certain chance to cause internal damage to the target. The reason why the knight class has a large number of fans in this fairy-demon-infested "fantasy" world is that their special ability to cause internal injuries to their opponents is a major reason.
If you ask Zhao Dabao what is the most hated negative state in "Fantasy", he will definitely sue you for this 'internal injury state'. Compared to other negative states, the 'Internal Injury Status' lasts the longest, affects the character the widest, and is the most difficult to heal. What's even more unpleasant is that the judgment of this state is abnormally random, even if the attribute is high, as long as you are not a 'spirit ghost' without a body, there is no possibility of avoiding it.
If it weren't for the fact that later players of other classes had the ability to fly away, they could effectively open the distance and fire long-range cannons, which is exactly what Chivalry lacked the most, and it was not necessary that the players' objections would completely collapse the mastermind.
For the current Zhao Dabao, fortunately, the two skills of the 'three bandits' have a certain starting posture. Soran doesn't mention it in the skill description, but these two skills actually have a certain delay. The time is short, but this is enough for Zhao Dabao.
With just a little time, he can make the perfect evasion move and escape from the effective range of both skills.
Among the skills of the 'Three Bandits', what really made Zhao Dabao uneasy was his 'Decapitated Knife' skill. This type of skill is called a 'special move' by players. Although extremely difficult to take effect, once its 'Critical Strike' effect is triggered, it is guaranteed to kill the target.
This kind of skill is the one that every player dreams of. Once its 'Critical Strike' effect is triggered, no matter how headwindy the battle is, it will be reversed in an instant. It can be described as a god-level reversal in the whole sense, but it is a bit unreliable.
What does the description of the 'severed head' skill say? Based on the target's reaction and Psychic Strength, determine whether to trigger the 'Critical Strike effect'. What does it mean to determine whether the 'Critical Strike effect' is triggered based on the target's reaction and psychic strength? To put it bluntly, it's fate. If you're lucky, nothing happens. If you're unlucky, you'll have to say goodbye.
In other words, if you're challenging in a 10-player squad, that's nothing. But for Zhao Dabao, who is alone, once he is a little low, it will not be a waste of his previous achievements.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a 'Leap Forward' skill that could instantly escape from the battlefield, he would really have to consider whether he really wanted to fight this 'Bandit Three' head-on.
