Chapter 11: Excellent Support (Part I)
Now at lower levels, they can't use mounts yet, so they can only walk. However, fortunately, the location of the dungeon refresh is not far from the location of the guild, and Xia Chiyu's Fengxing technique is also advancing a lot. After half an hour of walking, they finally came to an ancient stone gate more than 20 meters high.
This gate is currently open, the gate is shrouded in a layer of white fog and can't see the inside clearly, this door is actually a random copy of the wild, after entering, the scenery inside is actually connected to the outside, and the outside door will be closed after all the team members enter, preventing other teams from entering.
In fact, these low-level dungeons are also quite popular, if it weren't for the remote terrain here and the close refresh location, their guild wouldn't have been able to grab this dungeon. If it is delayed any longer, it will only allow people from other guilds to discover this copy, although the person who discovers the copy first out of morality can be advanced, but this world is the same as reality, not everyone is moral.
"Let's go, let's get in." Xia Chiyu said, first stretched out his hand and walked towards the fog gate, through the fog forward, the scenery in front of him gradually became clear, grass, all kinds of strange plants, towering trees, the inside and outside scenery are connected. Just from the doorway, some spider silk can be seen on the ground and nearby plants.
Probably also because of the spider silk, the forest ahead is unusually gloomy.
Xia Chiyu was observing the terrain around here to determine which path was the right one, when a crisp "hey" came from behind him, and then Xiaoyu passed through the fog gate, and then hit his head on his back. "Aang!" The little girl snorted, covered her nose and complained, "Why are you blocking the door?" β
Xia Chiyu didn't answer, and Cheng Ming and the others also came in through the fog gate one after another. Immediately, the fog gradually dissipated, and the stone gate that could be seen outside slowly closed and disappeared, and the scenery behind him became the same as the outside.
"Alright, let's get a good buff and go!" Zhang Zhiwei pointed to the gloomy forest in front of him and said.
Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and began to give everyone a good auxiliary spell such as the Glory Technique, the Wind Walking Technique, and the Stone Armor Technique, and then without waiting for him to say anything, Cheng Ming nodded and said, "Okay!" Let's go! β
Xia Chiyu just shook his head with a smile, and then followed along. Walking less than fifty meters away, Cheng Ming, who was at the front, stepped on a thick layer of spider webs, and was stuck to his feet and couldn't break free for a while, and the whole team stopped.
"Why are these things so tough...... Cheng Ming tried to cut off the spider silk with his long sword, but those spider silks were tougher than steel wires, and they couldn't cut at all, and then Xiao You stepped forward and burned the spider silk with flames, and then knocked it on his head.
"You, be careful when you walk! I saw spider silk and walked up there. Xiao You reprimanded, but Xia Chiyu in the back raised his eyebrows, waved his staff violently, and several vines stretched out from Xiao You and Cheng Ming, wrapping around their waists and dragging them back. At the moment when the two of them flew backwards, a black shadow almost the size of a sedan fell from the sky!
However, there was no expected dull loud noise, this huge spider landed on the ground unusually lightly, and then jumped back a small step while adjusting its direction to face Xia Chiyu and the others, and the name of "Demon Tarantula" emerged from above its head.
Only then did they see that in front of them was just a huge tarantula with long hairs and stiff hairs, thirty-two, with huge chelae almost as thick as Xiaoyu's arms, and eight black eyes almost the size of a ping-pong ball, round and glowing with cold light, which made people shudder. As soon as the spider turned to them, it immediately prostrate itself and lunged forward.
"President, be on guard." Xia Chiyu said, waving his staff again to summon vines, and quickly weaved a simple web between the president and the tarantula. Just like the previous time against the demon dryad, the double-boned wood magic is very strong. At the moment when this web was formed, the spider suddenly jumped and pounced on Cheng Ming at the front.
The vine web made the spider pause in mid-air for about less than a second, but under Xia Chiyu's reminder, it was enough for Cheng Ming to react and raise his shield to defend. The huge tarantula crashed into Cheng Ming's shield and made a muffled sound like a bell, although there were already vines that had lost some of their strength, Cheng Ming still snorted and was knocked backwards and slid away.
"Hey! Resist! Zhang Zhiwei said, helping him hold this moment behind Cheng Ming, Cheng Ming's health value was deducted by eight percent, but he had already begun to slowly recover. However, the demon spider was not affected by this impact, and after landing on the ground, a small jump climbed up the trunk of the towering spruce tree on the side, and its eight legs twitched, and it quickly climbed upward.
"Ready to attack, be careful to attack its legs first." Xia Chiyu reminded and waved his staff again, and a newly grown branch suddenly appeared on the trunk of the spruce. The demon tarantula crawled extremely fast, and suddenly hit its head, and fell downward with its belly facing the sky.
But then some tiny spider silk squirted out from the end of its feet, and Xia Chiyu saw this, wielding his staff and releasing a few small flames to burn the silk thread, so the demon tarantula simply fell to the grass.
Due to its large size, and the fact that the tarantula had to struggle to roll over, it struggled violently on the ground. And Xiaoyu and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately launched an attack on the tarantula's legs.
Sword energy, fireballs, and ice blades flew and severed all four of the tarantula's feet, and although this round of attacks only knocked out less than twenty percent of its health, the demonic tarantula, which had lost half of its arthropods, could no longer crawl and lay on the ground as a lamb to the slaughter.
In fact, Xia Chiyu didn't want to kill the demon tarantula, and now the demon tarantula had entered a disabled state and couldn't move. And this demon tarantula is just a copy of the monster, that is, the elite monster, the chance of dropping the blue suit is very low, and there is not much experience, it is better to keep the blue fight final boss, so as to save fatigue and rest halfway.
As long as it's not a copy composed of several mini-bosses and final bosses like the King's Corridor, there is no need to open them all, continuous battles, especially when the player's average level is lower than the dungeon level, the blue consumption is particularly fast, and it needs to be restored from time to time, which leads to even small dungeons, which is easy to get tired from battle and have to waste time resting.
However, Cheng Ming and the others still greeted with great interest, solved this demon tarantula, and then looked at some of the materials and experience obtained and were excited. Xia Chiyu didn't stop him, now he sees it very openly, after all, it's just a game, everyone just has fun.
"Be careful, I'm afraid that stepping on spider silk here and struggling will definitely lead to a big spider of that level just now, if we are already cleaning up the mobs, be careful not to step on it." Xia Chiyu reminded.
In short, all a good support needs to do is help teammates dodge and defend against attacks, and make it easier for teammates to hit monsters. Of course, directing players to play dungeons is not within the scope of support, but it is best done by support.
After fighting all the way like this, as Xia Chiyu expected, everyone was tired before the final boss and had to build a campfire to rest. Pepe handed out the sandwiches one by one.
"So you made this sandwich, it's delicious." Xia Chiyu said with admiration after taking a bite of the sandwich.
"Yes, but I will only do it in the game, Liuliu is just the opposite of me, she doesn't practice cooking in the game, but she is very good at cooking in life." Pepe chuckled softly, Xia Chiyu glanced at Xiaoyu with a little surprise, and an exclamation mark floated above his head.
Xiaoyu smiled sweetly at him: "What, no?" What does that look on your head mean? β
Xia Chiyu just shrugged his shoulders and continued to eat the sandwich. No matter what the dungeon is, whether it's a mob or a boss, the support has to do much the same. In the early stage, this can basically ensure that teammates will not enter serious injuries, but in the later stage, when the monster AI is raised to an extremely high level, even Xia Chiyu cannot protect everyone.
At that time, if he took his hand to help treat his seriously injured teammates, he would not have time to take care of the safety of others, so as to lead more people into a state of serious injury, so it is best to arrange a separate mage who is responsible for treating the injured when there is a support mage. Because there is no instant blood increase in the AO, the wounded must stay with the healing side in order to use spells to speed up the recovery of the fΓΉhp.
After the fatigue was gone, the crowd moved on. They had entered the depths of the spider's nest, where the spider silk had become denser and denser, blocking out the sunlight shining from above the forest, making the area almost as dark as night, and they had to use fire magic to illuminate and burn the spider silk that stood in their way in order to keep going.
The occasional rustling sound in the shadows was unsettling, and after fifteen minutes something began to look wrong: the forest became more and more restless, and a large number of small spiders crawled in front of them from all corners of the forest, from the size of a ping-pong ball to the size of a basketball, but they did not attack.
In the place where these small spiders gathered in front of them, the shrubs and plants seemed to have fallen to the sides as if they had been weighed down by some heavy object, and unnaturally formed a circular passage, and there seemed to be a roar from the cavern at the end of the passage.
"Uh...... I think we're almost at the final boss position, so it's better to go back. Xia Chiyu said, taking a step back with everyone, and then a spider's arthropod stretched out from the hole in front of him, this arthropod was huge, much larger than the car-like tarantula caused by touching the web before!
Everyone swallowed their saliva together, and subconsciously stepped back a little, accidentally stepping on a few small spiders, at this time, the protruding knuckle at the entrance of the cave in front of him paused as if electrocuted, and then a huge spider suddenly rushed out of it and pounced on them! The whole body is pitch black and shiny, and the abdomen has a conspicuous red pattern.
The behemoth resembled a runaway truck in size and speed, and several girls screamed, and the men turned pale with fright, and hurriedly retreated.
