Chapter 30: The Overlord of the Underground
"Good luck to him! I hope that this experience can suck his bad luck away. "Claudia, who had a similar experience. Auditore, started for that Victor. Mr. Sain prayed earnestly. She has had a similar experience, and she is also pitted by the system. Sain was sympathetic.
But her friend's Clematis. Bote, at this time, joked: "It's not up to you to decide whether you're lucky or not." It depends on whether the god of the system is willing to let him go! ”
"Isn't the essence of this game about giving and receiving? As long as Victor. The test that Sain has gone through is worthy of the identity he has, and the system should not be making things difficult for him. Barrett sat down on a stool next to him as he spoke, "And he actually had a lot of options to get through the level before, but as a player at that time, he didn't find a way." ”
Of course, if you want to take advantage of it, there are also prerequisites. That is, the method chosen must be as reasonable as possible. In other words, it is in accordance with the rules of the Western Continent that the system has nothing to say. However, if there is no guidance from someone familiar with the door in advance, I don't know how long it will be delayed!
And something like Barrett told Victor today. Sain's message was only circulated among the aristocratic community in the Western Continent, and it was extremely difficult for outsiders to know before stepping into that circle. Although Barrett is not clear about Victor. Why is there no record of that in Sain's character record - his character is also a member of the aristocracy, there is no reason not to know (of course, it may be that he has been cheated by the system again). But today, the two have to say that it was each other's luck.
"I'm talking about you guys, what the hell is going on and laughing so happily." Just then, the anvil lifted the curtain and walked in.
Players who heard this immediately turned their eyes to the door, and although the anvil that had been taken care of at this moment had been taken care of, it was naturally impossible to enjoy it in the dark area where there was a lack of water - his beard still had a few cinders on it, and his hair looked a little messy.
Seeing this, Barrett couldn't help but smile and gave Rielly a look, who snapped his fingers as he looked at the anvil with a mocking look. Then the disheveled shape of the dwarven god of war immediately took on a new look. I saw him scratch his hair: "Sure enough, it's still convenient for you spellcasters!" But what exactly were you talking about? ”
"Barrett met a player at the tavern here, and that one of the rare hard-working people in the game...... "Clematis. Bot immediately grinned and told Anvil about Barrett's previous experience.
After listening to this, the dwarf couldn't help but laugh: "I think that guy can run for the title of the unlucky player of the year." ”
"As the so-called heaven descends on the people, they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones." Barrett shook his head, "Don't look at Victor. Sain is so miserable now, but the family can be regarded as having a legal aristocratic status. When you get through the current difficulty, don't say soar into the sky. At the very least, it can seize the opportunity. ”
"The way to play the local tyrants, we poor ghosts really don't understand!" The anvil scratched his head.
The three-day rest period is not short, but it is not long. During this time, another caravan arrived at the transit station. After some negotiation and negotiation, Barrett and his party left with a larger procession - it seems that seeing the strength of the dwarves and gnomes, the caravan had come here for protection at some cost.
However, after the strength of the two teams is combined, it becomes much easier to solve those troubles on the road. The creatures of the dark region that stood in the way all became commodities on the backs of the two teams of hunchbacks. However, there is no harm to bringing the two teams together, for example, and the target will become larger - attracting more powerful Predators.
In the dark shadows that no one could see nearby, bats flew around and moving mist that was imperceptible to the naked eye. All of them have a different meaning than before. Unfortunately, they were hidden in a place where the caravan members could not reach in sight, so the team could not be warned in advance.
On this day, the team that completed the march plan, under the guidance of the dwarves, found a relatively safe area and set up camp. And by the time most of them fall asleep, the adventurer guards belonging to the caravan of latecomers will inevitably be distracted by fatigue while on duty.
It doesn't matter if it's normal times. But now suddenly a fog appeared behind a napping adventurer. Then the thick fog gradually condensed into a human form, and then the other party covered the adventurer's mouth and nose and slashed cleanly into the trachea. And the adventurer struggled instinctively. Soon there was no movement.
"What a waste! It's getting harder and harder to get fresh blood food like this now. But as long as this plan is successful, I should be able to share a blood slave too! The pale-faced attacker licked his lips. At the same time, a pair of sharp fangs were exposed, both of which seemed to prove his identity as a vampire.
The original vampires are said to have been a product of mages in their quest for eternal life - a much less risky transformation than a lich. The most important thing is that they retain their senses, and they will not lose the fun of human life except for the study of spells. By now, however, these test subjects had become a new race, escaping the clutches of the magicians.
These undead creatures have the same appearance as they did before they were alive, but their appearance has become cold and savage. Makes them look like wolf-like predators. Like the Lich, they are vain and decadent, and may consider themselves nobles. Despite their human characteristics, vampires are still easily recognizable, as they do not cast shadows. It also does not leave an image in the mirror.
With the first hapless adventurer losing his life, similar situations continue to occur in the vicinity of this makeshift underground camp. The fog, bats, and even rats could be the embodiment of the vampires. However, not all hands-on vampires have completed their mission, after all, the more elaborate and detailed the plan, the more likely it is that something will happen.
Suddenly, I saw a sky-high salute flower shining under the dome, and this alchemy prop successfully conveyed the message of the enemy attack to all the members of the camp. Seeing that the expected raid failed, the owners of the attack had to show up in person. The dark elves, pouring out of the surrounding caverns, rode their lizard mounts and attacked the camp.
But before these black skins riding large lizards could get closer, several huge crossbow arrows shot towards the dark elf team a hundred paces away. See the arrival of the crossbow bolts. Even in the well-trained ranks caused a commotion. The offensive of the charge instantly fluctuated unnaturally.
However, the ironclad vanguard officer among the dark elves clenched the iron halberd, and with his arms rounded, he struck the crossbow arrow diagonally with the blade in his hand. With a spark from the friction, the bolt plunged into the ground. However, there are still a few people like him after all, and several other crossbow bolts have successfully pinned several Dark Elf riders to the ground.
Of course, as experienced adventurers, these people who can participate in the actions of the Dark Regions are not vegetarians. By the time the dark elves reached contact distance, the guards were already in formation. Shield warriors in the front row. The crossbowmen in the back, the spearmen in the middle, and some elite warriors in armor and armed with swords, were ready for a surprise attack at any time.
The confrontation began, and a stone pillar suddenly rose outside the camp to slow the charge of the dark elf cavalry. However, the blackskins charged with such force that they often broke the pillars - and the soldiers on both sides immediately engaged each other. With the buffer time provided by the dwarves and gnome guards, the originally chaotic adventurers in the camp also began to spontaneously organize resistance - if there were no cavalry in this group of dark elves. They may choose to run away. But the current situation makes them dare not trust their lives in the illusory luck.
In this way, three strong acid arrows flew out of the crowd that looked a little chaotic, and rushed straight to the stalemate of the battle line. The Black Elf's equipment appears to have special magic attached to it. However, I don't know if it was a coincidence or if the caster had expected this, the three dark green liquids all flew in the same direction and hit the shield of a dark elf warrior in the front row.
After neutralizing two strong acid arrows in a row, the magical brilliance attached to the shield dissipated, and a magic missile struck him. No matter how strong the black skin that was drenched by this strong acid, he couldn't help but have spasms all over his body. Immediately after that, he never had a chance to adjust his posture again. The surrounding mercenaries immediately seized this opportunity and increased their swords and axes.
By the time the Dark Elves began to pay attention to the casters among the humans. The crispy guys had stepped back to the back. It was only after a small number of warriors were surrounded by them that they began to prepare a new round of spells one by one. And the crossbowmen drew out the enchanted arrows that had just been blessed by the caster, and the weapons in the hands of the warriors in front of them also shone with the brilliance of magic, which was really a skilled group of elites.
The adventurers who can still live in the dark region half a year after the passage appears, which one is not the elite of this group. After all, the exploration of the dark region is not a spring outing, and the white bones in the cave are telling future generations of the danger here. Skillful coordination is the key to keeping these warriors and spellcasters alive in a treacherous environment.
Although I don't know what the reason is. However, it is an indisputable fact that there is a lack of powerful people in this Dark Elf advance team. Even with the help of the vampires hiding in the shadows, their offensive was still slow - the same camp powerhouses did not move, and it seemed that the two sides maintained a special tacit understanding.
At this moment, Barrett is wielding the 'Broken Peak' in his hand, the sharpness of this ancient weapon, even with the equipment of the dark elves, can only bow down. However, these are extremely long-lived black skins. It does have the strength to match their age, and those guys who are as slippery as loaches are really hard to do.
Just as they were occupying each other, the sound of a dozen bowstrings flicking was so neat that it almost sounded like a single sound. The arrows struck at the array of crossbowmen in the camp, mixed with two dazzling bolts of lightning, apparently the two mages from Blackskin, using what they thought was the most appropriate spell for the situation.
This is a chain of two lightning bolts. Like a giant silver serpent jumping on all sides. Dangerous and deadly huge electric sparks flickered. Hit the first adventurer to raise his hardwood shield to defend the archer. But then I saw that the senior adventurer stumbled and immediately fell to the ground. Even if a person dies in the face of chain lightning, the muscles will naturally react because of the electric current. Of course, it is unknown whether the person in front of him was electrocuted all of a sudden, or was paralyzed and unable to move.
And a certain dark elf who broke through the defense line did not forget to use the crossbow on his waist to mend it. It seems that these suspicious guys are in line with the practice of not letting go of mistakes.
The second victim is a longbowman behind the shield-wielding, and the characteristic of chain lightning is that in the first attack, it will take full damage, the second damage, it will deal half damage, and the third hit, it will become a quarter. And so on, the number of times the chain lightning can jump through the crowd is determined by the caster's ability! Even though the damage drop is large each time, the damage and ailments that can be dealt are terrifying!
2 silver dragons raged in the defender's formation, everywhere they went, the sound of tearing and screaming was continuous, and the morale of the attacking side was greatly boosted, and the defender's large-scale paralysis was used to form an assault formation and make every effort to expand the results! Then, in the dark passage, the mages of the dark elves were satisfied with the crystal scepter they had just used. At the same time, the 12 silver pins he wore on his chest were unusually dazzling in the dim light.
While the spell can hit as many other targets as the caster's level after the first contact, it requires a crystal scepter and the same number of silver pins as the caster's level. So if these two hadn't been hidden in advance, when they saw these mages take out the crystal scepter, the members of the defending side would definitely choose to scatter and dodge immediately. It won't cause the extreme effect of 13 rings like now.
But the combination of powerful spells and reasonable tactics at the moment immediately greatly affected the battle situation. (To be continued......)
