Chapter 7: The King's Cloister I
Xia Chiyu and Xiaoyu continued to advance in the monuments, moving forward from the outskirts of the city and coming to the location of the Third Ring Road. The damage here is even more severe, and because it has reached the residential area, there are not only skeletons of a large number of soldiers, but also civilians. Women and children, in particular, turned into resentful spirits after death, and became high-level necromantic creatures that were different from skeleton soldiers.
"This ...... It's a little scary. Xia Chiyu couldn't help frowning when he looked at the resentful spirit that crawled out of the ruins of the dilapidated house, with pale skin, long hair hanging messily, and only a dark hollow in his eyes, the situation was as terrifying as the scene in the curse.
In particular, these monsters often emerge from the shadows coldly, scaring players. Coupled with the dilapidated and gloomy surroundings, the weather is very dark, and the low and weird background music brings a strong sense of depression to people, making this low-level sudden and scary trick even more terrifying.
The two of them made their way through the rubble, and as the wreckage of the buildings blocked their way from time to time, they had to make detours and traverses through the buildings that had not yet completely collapsed, and there were a large number of scary mobs in ambush.
"The king of the kingdom of Arota was about to destroy the kingdom, and he sank all his palace into the ground." When the two of them passed through a private house through the window, Xia Chiyu suddenly raised his eyebrows, pointed behind Xiaoyu and said, "There is a ...... behind you."
Before she finished speaking, Xiaoyu glanced back and found a baby lying on the ceiling, but her body was upside down. It was obviously lying on the ceiling, but its face was facing downward, its empty eyes were dark, and its face was smiling.
"Ahh Xiaoyu screamed and threw herself into Xia Chiyu's arms. Xia Chiyu was startled by her sudden scream, and when he came back to his senses, he already had a warm and soft delicate body in his arms.
"Scary, isn't it? Why do you keep getting out of nowhere! Xiaoyu buried her face on Xia Chiyu's shoulder and didn't dare to look at it.
"Please, little ancestor, I was scared by you...... Xia Chiyu said helplessly, waving his staff and releasing a light bullet. But the baby was so agile that it let out a shrill laugh and crawled away like a spider, laughing and crawling, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared into the shadows of the corner. It's a horrific situation.
"Alright, let's go find a copy quickly. I don't know how many of these traps there are. Xia Chiyu said, speeding up and leading the way in front, and Xiaoyu hurriedly followed, as if he was afraid of being thrown away.
After such a fright, Xiaoyu also shrank a little and didn't dare to walk in front.
Xia Chiyu knows this place very well, in fact, these monsters are just scary, but their health is very small and their attacks are low, which is very suitable for brushing experience. But it doesn't make sense for Xiaoyu to be afraid, it's really not cost-effective for him to fight the monster of two people alone.
"It is recorded in the history books of AO that King Arota used the power he found to sink the entire royal palace into the ground. No one knows exactly where it is, but ...... King Arota's palace is home to an astral waypoint, which is connected to any of the city's astral waypoints. But ......" Speaking of this, Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows.
The location of the Astral Waypoint and the royal palace is different, each Astral Waypoint is a quest entrance, but each waypoint leads to a different level, and the central area of the palace is even a level 50 to 60 dungeon. These quests are not random, but rather hidden quests that only appear in a fixed location with a fixed monster type.
"This is it." Xia Chiyu pushed aside the rubble on the ground, and an abandoned astral teleportation point appeared behind him. He tapped the waypoint with his staff, and an electronic screen immediately floated in front of him, with a line of subtitles appearing on it, saying "Do you need to fix the waypoint?" Confirm/Cancel. ”
Xia Chiyu clicked to confirm, and then the system prompted "Please follow the system prompts to draw the current spell track".
A blue point of light began to dance gently in the field of vision in front of Xia Chiyu, Xia Chiyu stretched out his staff and moved with the small blue point of light. Astral teleportation is the infrastructure in the game, so the pattern of the spell is simple. Soon, Xia Chiyu completed the repair of the astral teleportation point, turned his head and waved his hand to Xiaoyu: "Let's go." ”
The two enter the astral teleportation point, and the scenery around them quickly collapses into green 0s and 1s, and then reassembles into a new scene. When the surrounding scenery stabilized, they were already in a corridor.
This is the entrance to the royal palace. Since it was underground, it was very dim, and only a few torches with turquoise flames along the road seemed to be lit and would not be extinguished. But the turquoise glow only made it even more eerie.
"The quest is called 'The King's Corridor', and the quest is at a level of eighteen to twenty." After Xiaoyu called up the menu and checked the information of the dungeon, he asked with some concern, "Can we really fight?" I'm only level sixteen. ”
"Just use a little trick, there are no mobs here, only two mini-bosses and a final boss, and you can also brush equipment with very high experience." Xia Chiyu said, pointing to the tall knight armor leaning against the wall on the corridor, "That's them." The outermost guardian of the palace, the puppet armor. But even if it's the weakest, with our current level, it's just a second. ”
Immediately, Xia Chiyu signaled to Xiaoyu to wait for the signal in place, and then stepped forward alone. When he got closer, the armor holding the giant axe that was closest to them suddenly moved, and the axe in his hand fell coldly and slashed towards Xia Chiyu's neck.
Xia Chiyu had already taken precautions, and quickly jumped back a small step to widen the distance, dodging the axe. But then, instead of rushing to attack, he stood still and waited. The name of "Giant Axe Knight Armor" rose from the top of this armor, and then this armor pulled up the long-handled giant axe, turned to Xia Chiyu in a good posture, and slowly pressed up.
Xia Chiyu just waited in place, and after the giant axe knight's armor approached, he raised the giant axe in his hand and made a chopping motion, the prelude to this attack was more obvious, and there was obviously a process of accumulating power, so he didn't need reaction time to dodge.
Xia Chiyu jumped back, floated for a distance with the help of the Wind Movement Technique, and then fell, and then approached the Giant Axe Knight's armor, carefully adjusting the distance between the two sides.
When Xia Chiyu was about eight yards away from the Giant Axe Knight Armor, the Giant Axe Knight Armor suddenly pressed the giant axe behind him, and then swept it violently. This kind of attack is faster and not easy to dodge, Xia Chiyu immediately turned on the reaction time, lowered his head and dodged, the axe blade grazed the top of his head, and the strong wind blew the hood of the robe behind him flying.
Immediately, the giant axe knight's armor took a big step forward, and raised the axe high to prepare to split, when Xia Chiyu suddenly took a small step back. The Giant Axe Knight's movements paused, and the downward slash changed, pressing backwards and making a sweeping motion. And Xia Chiyu immediately took another step forward, and the armor of the giant axe knight paused again, turning into a high-flying slashing action!
"Alright, let's go up and fight." Xia Chiyu said, taking a step back again, and then the Giant Axe Knight Armor adjusted its action to a sweep again, and fell into this dead loop. Xia Chiyu just moved forward and backward, and the Giant Axe Knight armor kept adjusting back and forth in these two prelude actions, but he just didn't attack, didn't move, and didn't shift the attack target, so he was stuck!
Because low-level monsters are not so flexible in dealing with AI, and the attack speed is slow, so there will be this kind of monster that keeps transforming in two response situations and is stuck, which is also a kind of bug that is not a bug. Since AO has not modified this point for so long, it means that this is tacitly approved by the game company, and it can be regarded as a technique for playing the book.
After all, the damage of the Giant Axe Knight's armor is very high, and if you don't grasp it well, you will be seriously injured directly; Second, this is really not a high-level monster, even if you don't use this skill, you can use the level and equipment to suppress it if the level is high. Xiao Yu behind Xia Chiyu was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses and hurriedly walked around behind the giant axe knight armor, raised his sword and slashed at the giant axe knight armor.
However, the Giant Axe Knight Armor does not belong to a demonic creature, but a combination, so Xia Chiyu took the time to change Xiaoyu to a wind slash enchantment to increase physical damage. Xiaoyu still couldn't let go of his hands and feet, and carefully stabbed the giant axe knight's armor with a sword.
"It's okay, just fight, it won't attack you." Xia Chiyu said with a smile on the side.
Xiaoyu nodded, held the long sword with one hand and drew an "X" in front of him, leaving a white sword qi where the blade passed, turning into a cross and flying out, sweeping over the giant axe knight. Axe Knight's HP decreased from 97% to 90%.
"The blood is so thick." Xiao Yu suddenly muttered, swinging his sword and stabbing at the Giant Axe Knight's armor, "Where is its weakness?" ”
"On the chest, an armor-piercing attack is required to be exposed. Don't attack the weak point, let it go into a hitstun and the stuck state will be broken. Just hit it like this, grind it slowly, and go back if you don't have a body. Xia Chiyu continued to move forward and retreat, and the armor of the giant axe knight was still stuck switching back and forth to attack.
Xiaoyu fought for a while, and when he saw that the armor of the giant axe knight really couldn't break free from this stuck state, he began to feel relieved, and threw his gorgeous moves upwards one by one. But after all, it's a small boss, which is equivalent to the boss monster in the wild, and the level is higher than them, so it's really slow to let Xiaoyu fight alone, and after twenty minutes of fighting, the HP of the knight's armor finally dropped to 0.
The Giant Axe Knight's armor didn't swing its axe until it died, it kept its horizontal slashing motion still, and then fell apart with a "clang", scattered all over the ground. Xia Chiyu and Xiaoyu have experience and dropped equipment on their side.
"Wow! A lot of experience, oh, and this breastplate, plus four agility and two skills...... Much better than my current one! Xiao Yu couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the drops and experience points on the screen in front of him.
The first-level level gap has increased by fifty percent of the experience, Xia Chiyu is twelve, and this monster has twenty levels, which is a full quadruple experience. In addition, this monster is also a boss monster, and the experience value is two hundred and five percent of ordinary monsters, which is equivalent to beating ten monsters of the same level for Xia Chiyu, and he has directly been promoted from level 12 to level 14! Light Rain also rose to level seventeen.
"Equipment level requires level 16...... I went, but I can't wear it yet. Xia Chiyu said helplessly, stretched out his hand on the screen, and put the equipment into the package, "Forget it, continue to fight a small boss." ”
