Chapter 268: Trekking through Mountains and Waters
Xiao Yumeng is a matter of habit, in the past, because the difference in attributes was not particularly obvious, Xiao Yumeng also fought as a regular combat force. In fact, since the healing ability of the Proving Ground is a physical specialty, it is not a crispy skin that needs to be protected like in the regular game, and it is more similar to a tank such as a paladin, and it does have a certain combat power. But the problem is that in the face of a high-attack and poisonous opponent like a poisonous frog, he needs to be treated, pay attention to the state of his teammates at any time, and provide antidote treatment in time. So much so that Luo Han could only use the method of cutting meat to reduce the impact of the toxin, but fortunately, the opponent's strength was still a little short of this time, otherwise the team would probably suffer heavy losses as a result.
Luo Han found Xiao Yumeng when his teammates were cutting down the boat trees to make canoes, and analyzed the problem for her. Finally, he said: "Mengmeng, high physique only improves your survivability, not for you to be a tank." Now that there are more and more party members, you can't take care of everyone if you participate in the battle. Now we are encountering enemies that will only get stronger and stronger, and if something unexpected happens, it may be reduced because you didn't provide support in time, so in the future, you should not fight with the front row unless necessary. Well, you can be with Linglong and protect her by the way. ”
Xiao Yumeng pouted and nodded, although the injury on Luo Han's shoulder had healed after treatment, it made Xiao Yumeng remember it. If she could have noticed at that time that she could release the skill in time, even if she couldn't detoxify directly, she could inhibit the spread of poison, and Luo Han wouldn't have to cut her meat.
The problem of Xiao Yumeng and Lin Ya has been solved, and the combination of a perceptual specialty and a physical specialty is enough to deal with a sneak attack on the rear units. However, the problem of poor team cooperation is not something that can be solved in a while. Among the remaining four reserve members, Zhao Qian is a strength elder, with physical strength, a typical defensive warrior, the shadow is naturally an agile stealth assassin, and the flow of years is a flexible meat shield positioning. None of these three are solitary characters and need to cooperate with the main force. As for the nightmare, because of the limitations of his ability and perception expertise, he can't provide much combat power, so he can only do some miscellaneous things to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers, and more often than not, he can only stay behind with Lin Ya and Xiao Yumeng. Therefore, in general, it is the cooperation of Zhao Qian and Luo Han, Crazy Dragon, Meng Fei and Linghu Yulan.
Tacit understanding is not something that can be formed overnight, nor can it be run in by abusing vegetables, it can only be improved in continuous battles. Luo Han didn't have any ideas for a while, so he could only mention it to the team members and pay more attention.
A canoe is ready, and with a few wooden oars, it is ready to sail. Kariam affirmed the skill of the Stormstorm Squad and led the team on.
This big thing can't fit into the watch, so it can only be carried by the dragon and Zhao Qian, although it is not too heavy, but because of the length problem, it is not conducive to shuttling in the jungle, and the speed of the team has to slow down.
After eating some wild fruits and resting for a while, the team came to a river.
This river is very different from the river that everyone remembers. The river is about 40 meters wide, and the surface of the river is full of dead branches and leaves, but the water is muddy but not turbulent, but like stagnant water.
The crowd pushed the canoe into the water, squeezing away the thick dead leaves. "There are many evil beasts in the river, and the canoe must be protected and not destroyed," wrote on the bank. ”
Kariam's kind reminder was apparently because the danger in the river was beyond his capacity.
Luo Han let go of the energy, and he could clearly sense a large amount of energy reactions in the river, and these creatures didn't even bother to restrain it, just because once they entered the river, it was their hunting ground.
"Lan, you used the continuous skill before, and the energy has not yet recovered, and you sit in the middle with Meng Meng Linglong and Nightmare, and Kariam and Xiaohu will hand it over to you. The shadow of the dragon is flowing for years, you guard the bow of the ship, and Zhao Qian and I guard the stern. Be careful, everyone, and don't let the enemy hurt the canoe until it is absolutely necessary. Thunderbolt, you are ready, and once the situation is critical, use the Yellow Dragon to soar to the sky. ”
"Understood." The crowd quickly boarded the canoe one by one. The dragon and Zhao Qian began to paddle one after the other, and the canoe began to move across the river. The Nightmare begins to struggle to sense movement underwater and prevent the beast from attacking.
The canoe began to move under the vigorous rowing of the dragon and Zhao Qian, moving towards the opposite shore dozens of meters away. As soon as he walked four or five meters, Nightmare frowned, took out a hand and fired a qang at the water a few meters away.
"There's a big guy approaching here."
Luo Han stretched out his hand and spewed a stream of air behind him, using the reaction force to make the canoe accelerate abruptly. At this moment, a huge crocodile head rushed out of the water, almost grazing the stern of the ship.
"Several big guys are coming." Nightmare shouted again.
Meng Fei inserted his hand into the river, and the strong current escaped, electrifying several evil beasts that were approaching, and his movements were slightly sluggish. The mad dragon and Zhao Qian rowed desperately with their oars, trying to get to the other side as quickly as possible.
At this time, the canoe suddenly made a sensation and almost flipped over. Luo Han hurriedly stepped on it hard, resisting the force from underwater, and he had already jumped into the air.
A beast with a pair of large pincers emerges from the side of the canoe, and the pincers slam into the canoe one by one. This is a large prawn magnified dozens of times, and if the heavy pincers smash on the canoe, I am afraid that the small boat will break on the spot.
Luo Han didn't dare to slack off, and when he was in the air, he continuously brushed out sword light to attack the head of the evil beast, trying to attract the evil beast to resist. Linghu Yulan also stimulated the ability of the "Sword God", and the brilliant sword light sprinkled on the evil beast.
However, the beast did not avoid it, and the hard carapace resisted the attack of the two, and the large pincers still smashed down without any advance.
"Zheng" The piano sounded, and Lin Ya dialed out a sound wave and hit the head of the evil beast, the evil beast's body stiffened, and the big pincers that fell down lost its strength, and was caught by Xiao Yumeng. The canoe shook violently, but fortunately, the boat was not an ordinary person, so it would not lose its balance and fall off the boat.
The beast quickly recovered from the control of the sound of the piano, and was about to overturn the canoe with more force, when Meng Fei ran over, his fist filled with electric light, and punched the beast's large pincers. The beast's body twitched, and its gray shell turned red, as if it had been roasted.
Taking advantage of the short time when the beast's body was out of control, Kariam stabbed his spear into the little tiger's ass, reached out and scooped up a handful of blood, and threw it at the beast with force.
The beast was stained with red blood, and immediately sank into the water in panic, no longer rising.
Got rid of this prawn beast, and the canoe was already halfway through. Although red blood has a good expulsion effect, it must be stained on the body of the evil beast to be useful, and the evil beast attacks suddenly, but it is not so easy to splash on the body, so it can only rely on manpower to drive away the evil beast.
After more than ten meters, there was no danger, and several crocodile-like beasts attacked and were knocked to the bottom. The mad dragon and Zhao Qian also made a miracle vigorously, and the distance of more than ten meters was instantaneous, and there was no chance for the evil beast to adjust the pursuit.
The canoe hit the bank of the river, and everyone quickly evacuated, and as soon as the last Luo Han stepped on the ground, the canoe was overturned by a vicious beast and floated on the water after a few somersaults. I have to say that the material of the boat tree is really good, and there is no damage to such an impact.
When they got to the land, these evil beasts had no way to get away with it, and several bulky evil beasts chased after them, and were overturned by the wild dragon and Zhao Qian who were holding back the fire in their bellies, and they were beaten on the ground and left on the land forever.
Crossing the river, Kariam became noticeably more hesitant, and sometimes had to go back the wrong way. I don't know if it's to create an opportunity for the tribesmen chasing after me, or if I really don't know the path behind. The Storm Squad had no choice, they were completely blind to how to get to the lava lake, and even if they knew that Kariam had other intentions, they could only let it go, at most they would be vigilant, and let the shadow quietly erase the mark left by Kariam.
After walking like this for more than a month, I have also experienced some dangers, but they are all within the controllable range. According to Karianmu, they were almost within reach of the lava lake.
On this day, Kalianmu approached Rohan and drew a serpentine pattern on the ground, writing: "According to clan legend, there is a different kind of beast living in the lava lake. They are shaped like pythons, but they have wings on their backs, feed on lava, can breathe fire, and will attack a lava lake as soon as a creature comes close to it. Even the strongest warriors could not resist the overwhelming flames. Moreover, the Crown of Tegus is said to have been left in the lava, and in order to obtain the crown, it is necessary to go deep into the lava, which is absolutely impossible to do under normal circumstances. ”
Luo Han knew in his heart that this kind of setting was obviously to do a pre-task and get some task items, so he wrote and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”
"It is said that near the lava lake, there is a species of ice lizard," Kariam wrote. They are the nemesis of the fiery serpents of the lava lakes, and their skin is immune to heat and fire for a short period of time, allowing them to even dive into the lava to prey on fiery serpents. If you can make a one-piece suit out of the skin of an ice lizard, you can enter the lava and find the Crown of Tigers. However, ice lizards are extremely difficult to deal with, and many Terran warriors who try to hunt them are frozen into ice sculptures. ”
Luo Han was silent on the surface, but he was vigilant in his heart. Along the way, Luo Han already knew the purpose of Kariam's leading the way. Quite simply, the tribe of Kariam has not been to the lava lake for a long time, and there is no GPS to guide this scene, relying on the route passed down from generation to generation, it can only point to a general direction, which is useful for some signposted locations. For more than a month, Karianmu has found the right path through repeated attempts to find these signposted locations. Such a long journey was full of dangers, at least it was impossible for his village to send elite backbones to do such a thing, and the long-term lack of elite combat power would seriously affect their survival. Therefore, Kariam used the power of the Storm Squad to reopen this road, and once the route was confirmed, he sent a large team of men to save several times the time. Perhaps Kariam didn't know that Luo Han had noticed it and erased the mark he had left behind. Now that the Storm Squad is no longer useful, it's time for Kariam to take out the team that poses a great threat.
It's a pity that although they are already close to the lava lake, there is no Kariam, and the Storm Squad still can't find a target, so Luo Han can't move this old guy for the time being.
"Do you mean we're going to hunt the Ice Lizard first, and we've got enough of the lizard skin to make a jumpsuit before we can find the Crown of Tigers?"
"Not bad. Ice lizards like to live alone, and only the skin of ice lizards in the prime of life can still be fireproof after being peeled off, and it is difficult to find enough ice lizards in other places. Thirty kilometers away from the lava lake, there is a valley where ice lizards mate and lay their eggs. During the summer months, a large number of ice lizards come to this valley in search of mates, and this is the best time to do so. ”
Luo Han looked up at the sky, he didn't quite know what season it was here.
"How long is it until the ice lizard mates?"
"A month."
"How long do we have to get to the lava lake?"
"Five days at most."
"I'll go see what's going on with this fiery snake first."
Kariam didn't say much and continued to lead the way.
After two more days of walking, you can already see a low volcano above the canopy, and the gray mountain is devoid of grass, which is very different in this endless jungle.
The lava lake is inside the volcano, formed by the hot magma inside the volcano that has not erupted for a long time, and the sight of this volcano means that the lava lake is close at hand.
After a long journey of more than a month, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just when everyone was relaxing, Kariam suddenly ran wildly, although he was old, Kariam's speed was not slow at all, Luo Han chased for the first time, but Kariam's use of the complex terrain to keep his distance. Just as Luo Han was about to speed up to kill the old man, a large bird like a goshawk swooped down from the sky, grabbed Kariam and flew into the sky. Luo Han reluctantly brushed out two sword qis, but was resisted by Kariammu with a spear.
Jumping on the canopy of the tree and watching Kariam being carried away by the big bird, Luo Han was angry for a while. All reasoning is based on known information, and no one can predict things that do not reveal any clues, unless his ability is to foresee the future. Kariam still has such a hole card, which is completely unexpected by Luo Han. During this time, Kariam has been under the surveillance of the Storm Squad almost all the time, and he has to be spying on his dreams even when he sleeps, but he suddenly played this hole card at the last moment and successfully escaped. Now that Kariam has escaped safely, he will inevitably take the right route back and lead his people and even the dragons to fight for the crown of Tegus, and for now, he can only go to see the situation of the lava lake first, and try to take it before the others arrive. 17.
