Chapter Seventy-One: Moths to the Fire

Hunting is a science.

The legendary hunter Ning Shennong recorded his life in the Hunter's Codex, which is still used as a textbook today.

He wrote on page 7, line 2 of the Hunter's Codex: "What is most needed for night hunting is a pair of eyes capable of seeing through the darkness." ”

This famous saying, which is often teased as nonsense by students in class, has now become a problem that plagues every student.

Especially those first-year students, who probably haven't thought that one day they will go out hunting in the dark, right?

Unfortunately, Rowan is one of them.

To date, the darkest part of his hunting experience was the sewers......

And Wang Yan, Ye Ruyu and Song Ping are not much better than him, although Song Ping is the first to talk about hunting, but at best it is only on paper, and his hunting experience is even less than that of Luo Wen.

Naturally, they didn't immediately realize how stupid it was to walk with torches at night.

According to the original plan, they were to bypass the [Cannibal Mound] and stop at the edge of a rather wide meadow, which was the lair of the [Ghost Fire Rabbit].

[Ghost Fire Rabbit] belongs to the stronger type of first-order monsters, living in groups, but there are not many of them, which can be used to test the team's combat cooperation.

After a certain amount of running-in, they will continue to move forward, and the ultimate goal is the [Fire Worm] in [Hot Wind Canyon].

[Fire Flame Bug] is still only a first-order monster, but they are numerous, and they do not pose a threat to [Fire Demon Slime], as long as the strategy is used properly and the cooperation is tacit enough, it is just right to use it to brush points.

This hunt, after all, is for the purpose of assessment, which is inevitably utilitarian.

Although the score calculation is based on the monster's race value, the stronger the monster can get, the more points can be obtained, but it is still irrational to choose a strong monster to hunt.

Even regardless of the danger, the time, energy, and physical strength required to hunt powerful monsters are much higher than those of low-level monsters.

To put it bluntly, the cost performance is not high enough.

And although the low-level monsters have few scores, they can be completely compensated for by the number!

Of course, too many low-level monsters are sometimes more dangerous than high-level monsters.

But Rowan has the [Ten Thousand Beast Staff]!

……

However, while the plan is good, the reality often does not go according to plan.

The four of Rowan had just approached the [Cannibal Hill], but a group of uninvited guests had already surrounded them, it was the [Fire Moth]!

Fluorescent dust flutters in the wind, and palm-sized moths swarm around like large fireflies, but they represent not the romance of the night, but the pain of burning skin!

Moths to fire, an idiom based on the light-oriented nature of moths, its suffix is "self-destruction"!

But now, it is not the moths that are destroying themselves, but the human beings.

When Rowan noticed it, this group of [fire moths] that had begun to spiral around the fire source hundreds of meters away had already come into view, and their phosphorus powder was the best accelerant, as long as a wisp of fire could be completely ignited.

Forest fires occur several times a year, often to their credit.

"Fire Moth, a first-order monster, the attribute is fire, the race value is 16, and the skill that is good at it is the flame body, which is the same as the skill of the fire insect I demonstrated."

Rowan quickly reported the information of the [Fire Moth], and then summoned the [Firedemon Slime] as soon as possible.

Wang Yan pulled out the [Crystal Core Gun] at the same time, she is a gunner, and the pet she has is a third-order pet [Bright Butterfly] with wisdom as the main attribute.

But after pulling out the [Crystal Core Gun], she didn't dare to shoot, because the light bullets she fired would burst out with a more powerful light, and that light would be especially dazzling at night, and it would definitely attract more [Fire Moths]!

Song Ping looked at the dense [Fire Moth], couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said, "Fire Moths are nocturnal creatures, they will be attracted by the firelight and come in groups. The best way to deal with them is to extinguish the torches immediately, and after a while, they will not see the fire and will naturally leave. ”

He obviously wanted everyone to put out the torches and wait for the [Fire Moth] to leave before leaving.

But Rowan didn't think so, he said in a deep voice: "The plan has changed, just use this fire moth to warm up!" ”

"Warm-up? With fire moths? Song Ping was stunned, "Isn't this too much?" ”

"Rest assured, as long as we cooperate well, this number of fire moths is not a cause for concern."

Rowan glanced at him and began to direct the three of them to act.

The team's combat patterns have been explored during the day, with an unexpectedly average class distribution of the four players.

Luo Wen and Song Ping are warriors, Wang Yan is a gunner, and Ye Ruyu is a warlock.

In team battles, Rowan acts as the vanguard, mainly responsible for attacking and attracting monsters.

Song Ping responded in the middle of the road, merging the melee attack and protecting the two girls in the rear.

And Ye Ruyu cooperated with her pet [Green Shadow Tree Man] to build a defensive force field.

She is not qualified enough to create a crystal wall shield on her own, but she can easily do it with the [Green Shadow Treeman].

Finally, there is Wang Yan, all she needs to do is to hide behind the crystal wall and use the [crystal nucleus gun] to continuously shoot and kill the enemy.

In general, it is to do its job.

"Ye Ruyu doesn't need to make a crystal wall shield, he only needs to blow away the phosphorus powder sprinkled by the fire moth with force, and don't let those flammable dust get on us. And Wang Yan just needs to shoot with a gun! Don't be afraid that the light bomb will attract more fire moths. I'll kill as many as I come! ”

After a simple order, Rowan commanded the [Fire Demon Slime] to rush out!

[Fire Moth] can fly, and it doesn't fly low, and humans are too hard to fight with it, so Rowan himself did not rush out with his pet, but chose to concentrate on manipulating [Fire Demon Slime]!

As soon as it rushed out, the [Fire Demon Slime] was already covered with flammable phosphorus powder, but it was not afraid at all, and took the initiative to ignite the phosphorus powder, and the instant fire caused a commotion from the [Fire Moth].

Compared to the torches in the hands of Rowan and the others, the flames made by the [Flame Demon Slime] are obviously more able to attract the attention of the fire moth, it rolls in the flames, and when it comes out again, it already has a slight feeling of [Flame Body], and the whole body instantly rises with vigorous flames!

Gradually, the center of the [Fire Moth] flying began to shift to the [Firefiend Slime]!

Spin, fly, approach, pounce!

[Fire Moth] followed this single pattern, one by one swooping down on the [Firefiend] Slime, and then it was ignited by the Firefire, and after a few flutters, it fell to the ground until it was burned to charcoal!

"This is the real moth to the fire!"

Wang Yan was amazed while shooting the [Fire Moth] that slipped through the net.

Song Ping stood awkwardly in place, his pet was really not suitable to make a move in such a situation.
