Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Light of the Blue Sea, the Frozen Crow
It's just that although the poison is easy to use, it is not a big or small kill, and the effect of dealing with demonic monsters is very good, but it is used to attack skeletons, and the effect of undead monsters such as the hungry dead will be weakened, the reason is very simple, of course, the corpses and bone sticks that have died are not so afraid of poison.
When encountering this kind of monster, Lawson greeted him with a lot of explosive potions.
Although the fragments produced by the explosive potion in the glass bottle are certainly not as good as the MK2 grenade, the burning damage caused by the burst of fire is much stronger than that of the grenade, and it has a strong restraining effect on undead monsters.
Since it is difficult to bring these explosive potions out of the world of Diablo 2, it is a waste to keep them, so Lawson unceremoniously used them to kill monsters.
After clearing the first layer of the cave for a short time, Lawson encountered a skeleton mini-boss with a dark golden name: Twisted Heart, Immortal, and Particularly Strong.
He killed a few of these mini-bosses before, but he didn't drop any good things, and Lawson was far less interested in them than before. If it weren't for the merit points they sent away, the experience points and reputation points were quite a lot, and Rosen would not have bothered to take care of them, because the input and output are really not very proportional.
WALL-E was the first to rush out, knocking out the few minions and starving dead who had gathered around him, and Lawson threw a boomerang to smash three explosive potions on its head.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
By the time the three flames were raised, the undead, particularly strong skeleton with a twisted heart had already scattered into bone slag all over the ground, along with several bottles of potion and a blue piece of equipment.
Lawson was so used to this that he didn't even bother to pick it up himself, and after whistling Wal-E, he ran to pick things up.
Later, when Lawson opened Wall-E's backpack to harvest, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
"I'm going to do a lot, what are you going to do!" Rosen scolded, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
Because the blue equipment turned out to be a talisman with a lot of strange patterns drawn, and it happened to have a recognition scroll that had just dropped, Lawson hurriedly slapped it on it.
"A large amulet of Aqua Light, with more additional benefits left in the inventory, +6 toxin damage, duration 3 seconds, and +7% poison resistance."
If it's just in the original Diablo 2, this kind of large amulet that only adds two attributes but doesn't have many values, but it will also occupy two squares in the inventory, in Lawson's opinion, it's basically chicken ribs. In the early stage, it is used for use, and in the later stage, it is basically thrown into the storage box to eat ashes.
But now it's different, because Lawson's backpack has a lot of space, and no matter how big or small things are, they all occupy a square in it, so it doesn't matter if this large amulet is temporarily thrown in the backpack.
At least until the backpack space is full, Lawson certainly won't think about cleaning it up.
In fact, +6 toxin doesn't seem like much, and it's only compared to the toxicity bonus of throwing a boomerang, which is quite a lot for just additional damage, especially since it can be blessed on almost every attack, and the total amount of damage is very considerable.
It didn't take long for Lawson to realize the usefulness of this thing, as he casually shot an arrow at a monster in the distance, which was enough to instantly dye the target green, and the poison damage reached 18 points in three seconds, plus the original bow and arrow damage, it was enough to make a sinking wizard hang up on the spot.
You must know that Lawson does not often use an ordinary attack of arrow by arrow when shooting, but occasionally uses a wave of rapid fire like a convulsion.
A rain of arrows shot out, and the small monsters in front of them were all dyed green, almost like leek essence drifting in the wind at the same time, waiting to be harvested.
Before they could rush over with their teeth and claws, they were poisoned and died, dropping a mess of things, which really made Lawson quite enjoyable.
In addition to fighting monsters, Lawson occasionally causes small damage. For example, kicking off some boxes and barrels stacked in the corner.
Occasionally, good stuff will drop out of it. Of course, most of the time something scary will pop up.
For example, now Rosen had just kicked a wooden barrel, and when there was a thud, something shining golden fell out, which attracted his attention.
But before he could pick it up and take a closer look, a starving dead man burst out of the tattered barrel with a strong stench and rotten flesh and skin falling down.
"I'll you." In a hurry, Rosen subconsciously scolded, and pulled out the eagle bead pinned to the ribbon from his waist with his backhand.
"Buzz."
An ice-blue light rippled out from the Eagle Orb in Lawson's hand, forming a huge circle that spread out in all directions, and it was really three hundred and sixty degrees without dead ends.
The starving man, who had just come out of the barrel and had no time to bite Lawson, was frozen into an ice sculpture on the spot.
"Die, bang." When Rosen returned the Orb of the Eagle, he pulled out the M1911 given to him by Captain Miller and shot the starving dead directly in the head.
With a loud bang, the ice sculpture shattered into ice slag all over the ground.
Rosen tucked the pistol back into its holster, and a smile appeared on his face.
Since he was almost killed by the Flame Condor last time, Rosen has had a deep reflection, so he has come up with a way to deal with the emergency, and this is one of the ways he came up with just now.
When an enemy strikes in front of you, the best thing to do is to freeze it with a Frost Nova and then slaughter it at will.
After seeing that there were no more monsters around, Rosen picked up the golden thing, and the smile on his face became brighter after taking a look at the attributes.
"Scepter, One-handed damage 6-11, durability of 30 out of 50, Mace Level - Fast Attack Speed, +1 Holy Light Bullet (Paladin only), +50% damage to the undead."
Although it has a +1 bonus stat, it is a white piece of equipment exclusive to paladins.
Of course, if Lawson wants to use it, he can naturally use it, who calls him the master, and he can completely ignore the career restrictions on the equipment.
But Rosen didn't plan to use it at all, because the Holy Light Bullet was really useless in his opinion, but if he took it and sold it to Akara, it might be worth a good price.
Thinking of this, Rosen threw it into Vali's backpack and hit the road again.
I have to say that the first layer of this cave is really huge, at least more than twice the size of the evil cave that Lawson cleaned before, and it is extremely dark, if it weren't for the occasional brazier or two and he still has an inner vision available, it is really not easy to find out the monsters hidden in the shadows and kill them.
"Whoosh, whoosh......"
As he climbed a staircase, Rosen heard the sound of bowstrings and arrows breaking through the air in the distance, and he secretly screamed that it was too late.
He felt as if his head had been hit by something, and at the same time, his chest seemed to have been hit by a giant hammer, and then he involuntarily flew backwards, and fell to the ground, rolling far away before stopping.
Lying on the ground, Lawson subconsciously reached out and touched his head, and found that if he hadn't been wearing a whiteboard hat that had fallen before to provide 5 points of defense, even if he didn't get a direct headshot this time, it would definitely be a critical hit, and then - into a near-death state.
"Roar." Seeing that Lawson was attacked, Vali's eyes turned red, and with a roar, he lunged at the place where the arrow came from, clawing and biting and spitting fire, killing the three black wanderers with bows in a matter of moments.
This black wanderer is similar to the dark hunter or something, but the weapons used are slightly different, extremely ferocious in life, not afraid of death, after death, in the desperate shouts, a white soul left the body and flew straight into the sky to dissipate, leaving only a body to fall to the ground.
Although the sneak attacker has been killed, Lawson does not dare to take it lightly.
Because he noticed that in addition to demons, there are also two minion characters in the attributes of these three black wanderers, which means that there is a small boss on the left and right.
"Huh."
Lawson didn't hesitate to release his inner vision, but he didn't find anything.
But he heard the sound of the bowstring again, and three or four arrows flew towards him.
At this moment, he seemed to be blessed with his soul, and his body subconsciously made a dodge action, which was worthy of flashing these oncoming arrows.
But Wali, who heard the wind, didn't dodge, and was shot a few times.
Originally, with WALL's defense, a few arrows on the body were not enough to hurt it at all, but what Lawson didn't expect was that a blue light burst out from one of the arrows, and then a layer of ice and snow formed on WALL's body, and at the same time, his movements suddenly stiffened and slowed down.
"Frozen Raven, Demon, Freeze Enhanced, hit your pet WALL-E, Freeze damage triggers, WALL-E will take 10 Freeze damage, and its action will be slow for 3 seconds."
When he saw this prompt, Rosen knew what was going on and immediately shouted, "Vali, get down." ”
Then he raised his hand and threw a boomerang with his skill, and threw out three explosive potions, which landed in the direction where the arrows had just flew, and each landing point was five meters apart, moving forward in turn.
He didn't do this to attack the enemy, but to find out the enemy hiding in the shadows.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
With the sound of explosions, the flames rose, and four black wanderers with bows appeared in view.
Rosen saw the frozen crow mixed in at a glance, and immediately launched a rapid fire without hesitation.
Dozens of arrows roared out, covering a radius of several meters around them in an instant, making it impossible for them to escape at all, and could only passively withstand the arrows.
Two black wanderers fell to the ground on the spot, but the Frozen Crow's counterattack followed.
At this time, Lawson found that not only did the arrows it shoot attached to the frozen attack, but the rate of fire was not slow, basically when the black wanderer next to it shot one arrow, it had already fired two arrows.
But under Rosen's rapid fire, the frozen crow was still only pressed and beaten.
"Bang."
Lawson couldn't dodge, he was hit by an arrow, and when he was knocked back, a chill surged in, and he immediately froze like an ice lump.
At the same time, the frozen crow in the distance also screamed and fell to the ground and died, while an ice-blue frost nova spread out in all directions.
I'll go, this guy is really treacherous, and he won't forget to pull a cushion when he dies. Lawson was scared for a while.
Fortunately, Vali had recovered at this time, standing around Lawson for protection, and after waiting for two or three seconds, the frost on Lawson's body dissipated, and the sluggish state was lifted.
Rosen walked up to the Frozen Raven and saw it drop a blue throwing knife.
Since he didn't recognize the scroll for the time being, Lawson could only put it away for the time being and continue to explore.
