Chapter 458: High Risk, High Reward
Xia Chiyu led everyone outside, it was snowing outside, and another low roar came from the darkness, and it was closer than last time. The vibrations from the ground are getting stronger and stronger, and the boss is getting closer and closer to them. Xia Chiyu immediately began to pack up the tent and commanded.
"Quick, light a few campfires around, at least four, then add fuel to make them burn to the fullest, and then prepare at least two torches each, hurry!" With that, Xia Chiyu packed up the tent, and then began to make torches, and after preparing two torches, Xia Chiyu also lit a fifth bonfire among the four bonfires that everyone lit.
He quickly added wood to make the fire burn stronger, and the next time the roar sounded, he waved to the crowd, and together they came to the campfire near the east, and waited for it. Although no one else understood why Xia Chiyu was so nervous, when the behemoth appeared from the darkness, several little girls screamed in fright.
In the darkness, a monster about thirty meters long slowly entered the reflection of the firelight, and they saw clearly that it was a white humanoid giant deer, but it only had one huge one-eye. Nasen's cold one-eyed eyes were bulging, and he looked down on them in the dark, which made people shudder a little.
"Be careful, this is the winter boss ......" Xia Chiyu whispered, "I heard that its attacks will destroy buildings, including player-made and traveling tents, and even bonfires will be destroyed, so don't stand on the edge of the campfire and fight it." If you have any specific skills, let's try it first. We really can't beat it, and we can still choose to run away. ”
The giant deer glared at them for a moment, then suddenly slapped it with a wave of its paws.
Everyone immediately dodged, and Lacey was the only one who raised his giant shield to try to attract the attention of the giant deer. But with the swing of the giant deer's claws, an ice pick also appeared from under Lacey's feet, instantly freezing his entire body.
Lacey's health has decreased, after all, he is in the state of a great shield knight, but Lacey's body temperature has suddenly dropped from sixty percent to forty percent. When it is reduced to 10%, it will enter a cold state, and the player will continue to suffer frostbite. Health is decreasing, and so is health.
However, as long as you don't get hit by the boss, it's not a big problem, and the prelude to the giant deer's attack is still very obvious, and you can easily dodge it, but the normal attack of the giant deer will attach a large ice pick, and if you don't dodge from this range, you will still be damaged by the boss, and there is a chance to be frozen. At the same time, the body temperature will also be reduced by 20%.
Once frozen, it is equivalent to being attacked twice in a row by the boss, and the body temperature will drop by 40%.
While the second attack after being frozen will not keep the player frozen, reducing body temperature by 40% is too lethal. After being attacked twice, Lacey's health was reduced by less than 15%, but his body temperature had dropped to 15% due to the boss's attacks and the low temperature outside.
"Lacey, don't fight, go to the bonfire in the back to recover your body temperature!" Xia Chiyu instructed. Then he turned to Zhang Zinuo and said, "Zinuo, you remember to add some fuel to the campfire once in a while." Don't let the flame go out, be sure to burn to the fullest! ”
The campfire is lit to its maximum level to provide a wider view, and the more vigorous the campfire, the faster it will recover its body temperature. Rey nodded, and quickly hid by the campfire in the rear. Begin to recover your body temperature. Xia Chiyu, on the other hand, opened his arms, condensed a huge fireball above his head, and threw it at the giant deer.
The fireball exploded on the deer, but the deer's health was reduced by less than two percent......
"I rely on such thick blood!" Xia Chiyu was secretly a little surprised and said that his Great Explosion Flame Technique was a fire-based damage. It's also a high-level skill.,And the damage of the fire skill itself is higher than that of other systems.,It's still a system that is compatible with the attributes of the giant deer.,There's only two percent of the damage on this boss!
The level of the giant deer is a fixed level of ninety, and its health does not increase with the number of players, but it is too much. The others also launched an attack after Xia Chiyu's attack, and after one round, it can be regarded as causing ten percent damage to the giant deer, and the boss itself is not particularly difficult.
The deer's HP is not too thick, its attacks are not too high, and its attack methods are monotonous, except for normal attacks, there is only one kind of aimless rambling around, which will smash everything in its path, including ore, trees, and grass piles, and deal high damage to the player. These skills themselves are not actually threatening, but this is not where the boss is difficult......
"No, let's not fight, let's swim and hide for a while, and when the temperature of the warm stone rises, we will go east." Xia Chiyu instructed everyone, and then took the initiative to retreat and returned to the edge of the bonfire.
"Why? I feel like this boss is stupid. Liu Yiyu asked puzzledly, except for Xia Chiyu, no one has realized the horror of this boss yet. Therefore, he sighed and said, "Look at your spiritual values. ”
Only then did everyone realize that in less than two minutes of battle, their spiritual value had actually been reduced by as much as 30%! Although the energy value decreases when fighting monsters in the wild, it is not so fast.
Xia Chiyu guessed that this was probably some effect of this boss, which could speed up the reduction of their mental value. In addition, it is night, and even if you don't do anything, your energy value will slowly and continuously decrease.
This means that everyone will enter a state of hallucination before they kill this boss. At that time, they had to face not only bosses, but also a large number of shadow beasts that had been spawned.
Shadow Beast, the player who has the illusion is equivalent to entering the same plane, and the two players who enter the illusion will see the same shadow beast, but the player who has not entered the illusion will not see it. However, each player who enters the illusion will spawn one or two shadowmons next to them, and will continue to spawn as the illusion duration increases, until the illusion is removed.
When such a large group of them all enter the state of illusion, there will be more than a dozen shadow beasts spawned at the same time. Although the Shadow Beast's attack is not high, it will constantly harass them. The Shadow Beast monster has no health and will only disappear after being attacked a fixed number of times, resulting in a failure to kill quickly. And they also have to face the attacks of the boss. That's a lot of trouble.
In addition to the problem of mental value, another serious problem is the problem of body temperature. Hallucinations will undoubtedly prolong their fight by a lot, and their body temperature will continue to drop.
The only solution to this problem is to keep the campfire in a roaring state, and then approach the campfire from time to time to regain body temperature. But in this way, it is more likely to be attacked by the giant deer and the shadow beast.
However, not restoring their body temperature will only accelerate their health reduction. After entering the low temperature state, and then facing the boss's attack and the harassment of the shadow beast, it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out in the end.
Generally, players in the exploration team will prepare a large amount of materials in advance, such as cooking that can restore mental value to avoid hallucinations in battle, and then use various traps made in the field to speed up the boss's overcome.
However, after all, they are here to complete the mission, not to simply explore. And to conquer the boss like a player in the exploration squad, it takes at least a month of travel and accumulation to have enough materials.
With these in mind. Xia Chiyu decided to give up the battle with this boss. Anyway, the battle with this kind of wild boss is avoidable, and most of the items dropped in the exploration mode are also designed for the exploration mode.
For example, this giant deer will drop a large number of edible high-grade exquisite meat pieces, and it is a high-end ingredient that will not make the player get sick or poisoned after eating it, and it will also drop a "Giant Deer's Eyeball" item.
The eyeballs of this giant deer are what Xia Chiyu and Xiaoyou said before, the material used to make the eyeball umbrella, after wearing the eyeball umbrella, not only will it not rain at all, but it can also slow down the rate of body temperature drop in winter.
After walking two steps. Xia Chiyu suddenly hesitated again: Indeed, it doesn't matter if anything else. However, the giant deer will drop a large number of high-level large meat pieces, and these meat pieces do not require advanced cooking, and those players who do not have a cooking level will not be poisoned and sick if they are directly roasted on the fire and eaten.
It's hard to say how long this journey will take, and their food stock can only support so many people for about two or three days. Every time they go offline at night, the player's satiety level will drop significantly when they go online the next day, so they should prepare the cooking they will eat when they go online the next day before they go offline. This is where food is consumed the most.
Food is hard to find in this winter environment, and when they went online today, they used up a full third of their stock to start their journey immediately. Hesitated. Xia Chiyu stopped again.
"Do you want to fight? Eat fish? Reis seemed to know what Xia Chiyu meant, and asked.
"Ah, to fight. As the saying goes, high risk has high reward. Xia Chiyu frowned and said, "But don't let the others go, I'll come with Lacey." ”
The difficulty of this boss is very simple for the two of them, but the trouble is how to deal with the "variables" in the battle.
"Don't worry, I won't be knocked down, you just have to eat the fish." Lacey said with a smile, switching to defender form, facing the boss, and then using the shield to block the boss's attack with perfect defense.
The effect of the perfect defense allowed Lacey to avoid being frozen, and this actually allowed him to escape the punishment of the drop in body temperature!
"Will your body temperature only be reduced after being hit by an attack......" Xia Chiyu muttered to himself, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the ground, and the five spirit wheels emerged from under his feet, and then the various elements condensed into a giant dragon and lay dormant beside Xia Chiyu.
"You can also try to attack first, and stop when your energy drops to 50%, but don't be hit by the boss's attack." Xia Chiyu said to the people around him, and then raised his right hand, and the dark purple thunder and lightning dragon obeyed the call, hovering around Xia Chiyu, and then turned into thunder and condensed in Xia Chiyu's hand.
"Thunderstorm burial!" Xia Chiyu used the hurricane technique to come to the giant deer and reached out and pressed it on the giant deer's slender leg.
The purple thunder and lightning spread quickly, and the giant deer trembled on the spot, but it recovered after a while, waving its claws towards Xia Chiyu. Xia Chiyu directly used a stand-in, and his body dissipated under the attack of the giant deer, and then his real body appeared on the shoulder of the giant deer, and the remaining eight elemental dragons immediately followed.
Xia Chiyu continued to raise his hand, the dark red flame dragon condensed in his hand, the giant deer reached out and slapped Xia Chiyu on his shoulder, and Xia Chiyu withdrew his right hand, the flames continued to condense in his right hand, and he raised his left hand to open the spiritual force field, shaking the BOSS slap away, and then turned around and waved his hand, swinging his fist on the single eye of the giant deer's face.
"Dragon's Roar!" Xia Chiyu shouted, and the flames erupted from his hand, penetrating the giant deer's single eye. At this time, the health of the giant deer suddenly decreased by ten percent, but because of this, he covered his eyes and ran around.
"Falling Flowers!" At this time, Zhang Zinuo also launched an attack on the giant deer, her long sword was raised, and her figure jumped up, and then quickly slashed down, and the gorgeous petals danced rapidly with her figure, slashing across the boss.
"Starlight Cross Slash!" Lin Qianxue put on a fencing posture and drew a cross in mid-air, and then the long sword stabbed forward, and the cross sword pierced through the chest of the giant deer.
However, the damage caused by their attacks was not much, but instead reduced their spirit value directly to about fifty percent, and when they saw this, they immediately did not dare to attack anymore and returned to the campfire.
And Xia Chiyu and Reis attacked more times, and their mental value directly dropped below 30% and entered a state of illusion. Xia Chiyu could feel the distant whisper ringing in his ears again, and at the same time, the world seemed to be covered with a faint layer of blood, and it was still night, which suddenly reduced his vision by half.
I could already vaguely see the vague shadow beast swaying around me, as if it would condense and form at any moment.
At this time, the body temperature of him and Lacey also began to drop to about 30 percent, and soon they would also enter a state of frostbite at low temperatures. Xia Chiyu knew that this was a race against time, and the longer the time dragged on, even if it was him and Lacey, they might end up dying under the multiple attacks of hallucinations, bosses, shadow beasts, and low temperatures.
"Divine Comedy, Final Chapter......" Xia Chiyu raised his right hand, and the angel outside his body also raised the long sword in his hand with his movements, and the golden light shone out from the angel's body, the angel's size began to get smaller and smaller, but the light became more and more dazzling, and in the end, it actually condensed into an entity, covering Xia Chiyu's body, and turned into an angel armor: "Sage Prayer!" (To be continued.) )
