Chapter 208: Frost Death
The snow-white trees are carved out of ice, and they are beautiful.
It's just that Li Wei and others have no time to appreciate such a beautiful scenery.
It's been half an hour since their team entered the snowy forest. After entering, they immediately followed the map they had bought with a lot of money and headed towards the depths of the snow forest.
According to the rules of this hunting competition, all the monsters in the snow cicada forest are their hunting targets. According to the strength and rarity of the monster's strength, each monster is set with a certain number of points reward. This point reward, together with the initial points, is the final assessment points, ranked from high to low.
On the periphery of the snow cicada forest, close to the outside world, the number of monsters is obviously not too much, and it is not too strong. It will be safer to be active here, but the harvest will not be too good.
Levi is going to be the first place, and he's quite interested in the top workouts for the first place prize, and he can't stop there.
And the rest of the team, although they basically stopped thinking about the first place, they didn't want to be too low.
It's just that not long after entering the forest, they don't know if they were lucky or unlucky, and they encountered a wave of monsters.
Ice crystals activate plants.
Several of them, presumably the remains of shrubs, stand still and are almost indistinguishable from their surroundings.
This kind of camouflage, even the writing wheel eye can't see anything wrong - they are originally plants, and when they are not moving, they are completely indistinguishable from a real grass or a real low shrub.
This low-level ice crystal activation plant is a very common monster in the snow cicada forest, and it is also the biggest threat to the civilians who enter to cultivate and capture the snow cicadas.
It's just that for the demon hunters, this kind of little thing is nothing, even if it is successfully attacked by them, it will not pose any threat.
They didn't even bother to waste bullets, and a few people divided them by two, and then cleaned up these ice crystal plants.
After removing the hunting credentials from the plants, Levi said, "You should try to be careful." This kind of low-level activated plant is nothing, but if we encounter an old tree that activates, we will be in some trouble. ”
"What if you can't see it?" Song Zhi muttered.
"Even if you can't see it, you have to cheer up, when facing a sneak attack, a faster reaction may be the difference between life and death." Levi said with a serious face.
"Understood."
……
The hunting competition lasted for half a month, and Levi's harvest on the first day was okay.
In the process of hurrying, they didn't deliberately look for prey, but the matter of the growth of monsters in the snow cicada forest was not just a casual talk, even if it was a normal rush, they also encountered three waves of monsters and gained a lot of things.
Some loot that is not too valuable, a few of them are too lazy to collect, they just put away the hunting vouchers, and these follow-up are all to be converted into points.
When night fell, Levi and the others didn't plan to take advantage of the night, there was no need for that.
They found a good place, set up their tents, arranged warm items such as felt, and then planned to rest.
In the wilderness, it is better than in a safe place such as a town, and a vigil must be arranged when you are resting.
Cai Yutong is in charge of the easiest first bat, and when the time comes, it will be replaced by Guardian, then Levi, then Wells, and the last bat.
However, before the break, the five of them still gathered together, on the one hand, to take stock of today's harvest, and on the other hand, Cai Yutong also turned on the wireless device and prepared to receive some messages.
According to what Instructor Krutana said before departure, every night at nine o'clock, the latest situation will be reported on the radio channel.
After a moment's notice, the wireless communicator rang at nine o'clock.
"Ahem...... the familiar coughing sound, because of the transmission of the radio, the timbre became a little strange, accompanied by a burst of stinging sounds, Sun Zheng's voice sounded:
"The first place in today's hunting, the Weiguo team, has 1096 hunting points."
"Second place, Xia Ling's team, 948 points."
"Third place ......"
It wasn't until he heard the twelfth that Levi heard his name. That's not a good ranking, and there are only 36 teams in total.
Since the loot has not yet been distributed, the conversion of points is not so accurate, and it is not broken down to individuals, so this ranking report of hunting points is based on the squad. But in any case, Levi was still slightly surprised to hear this result.
"That guy is the only one...... Well done! Wells sighed on the sidelines.
Li Wei said: "I guess I ran into some good prey, and they cleaned it up." ”
Wells nodded, and then said, "We're all in a hurry today, so we didn't do it properly." However, now that we've gone deep into the forest, the monster should be easier to find, and tomorrow there will be a big wave! ”
Levi grinned, "That's exactly what I mean. ”
……
When they woke up early the next morning, several people were in good spirits.
Last night, when it was Wells' turn to keep vigil, an ice leopard approached, but Wells was beaten to death with both fists, without disturbing the others too much. So, this night's rest is relatively good.
After getting up, they ate something casually, and everyone set off again. As they continued to advance deeper into the snowy forest, towards higher altitudes.
The snow cicada forest is originally under the feet of the frost front, and the deeper it goes, the higher it will naturally be. This forest of snow and ice crystals spreads all the way to the summit.
However, generally speaking, no one will run to a place that is too high - it is too dangerous, even if it is a person who is famous in the battle power list, or even a person with strong elements, rashly climbing the mountain, there will be a threat to life.
Levi: Of course, they won't die. Although he was heading deep into the snowy forest, he actually drew a safety line on the map. The next action, no matter what, will definitely not exceed the safety line and enter a more dangerous depth, otherwise, if an element-level monster really emerges, it will be the end of the group annihilation.
Even if he had a monthly study, he would never mess around with such things. Although Yueyue is strong, it is really used to deal with element-level powerhouses, and it is still unknown how useful it can be, so there is no need to gamble.
On the second day, Levi's team was not just on the road. Sometimes, when you encounter the traces left by some monsters, you will also track them and hunt them, full of hunting points.
And when it was close to noon and several people were about to eat and rest for a while, they found an unusual trace.
It was a fallen tree, and there were many signs of destruction and blows on the trunk of this tree.
"It's an ancient revitalized tree, not like an ordinary number. It should be a relatively strong monster that kills it. Levi took a closer look and came to this conclusion.
"Do you want to catch up and have a look?"
"Chase, of course." Levi said, "A powerful monster has hundreds or thousands of times more hunting points than a weak monster, and you can't give up this opportunity." ”
So, while stuffing some food into their mouths, everyone followed the traces.
Fortunately, the traces of the battlefield they found before should have been fought not long ago, and the monster that won the victory should also be relatively large, which made it much easier for Levi and the others to track.
Especially with the help of the Sharingan.
After half an hour of tracking, the five Levi saw the monster they had been looking for.
It was a very large monster. Like a canine, it walked slowly forward on both feet, about two meters tall at the shoulders, taller than a human, and its body length seemed to be estimated to be four or five meters. There was no hair on his body, and it was all protected by pieces of white ice, like pieces of armor. Its head, like a wolfdog, has four dark blue eyes. The mouth is round, the sharp teeth are exposed, and the face looks very hideous.
"It's supposed to be the Frost Destroyer, the Ice Subspecies of the Destroyer."
After seeing the image of this monster clearly, Cai Yutong took the lead in giving a judgment.
Li Wei took a closer look and felt that what Cai Yutong said should be right.
The Saboteur is a powerful monster that can occasionally be encountered in the forest. The average saboteur, rated with four challenge levels, is not something to deal with. They are agile, physically strong, and very cruel and aggressive.
In addition to being physically powerful, these monsters usually have a supernatural ability called Beam of Destruction. From their circular mouthparts, the beam of light that erupted was extremely penetrating and destructive, equivalent to an attack at the peak level of the Fourth Chain. What's even more terrifying is that such a beam of light can be sprayed out once in two or three seconds, and the fire is very fierce.
It's not an easy monster to deal with, but because of that, they definitely have a high hunt score as well.
On the first day, Levi's team only had more than five hundred hunting points, which was much worse than the first-ranked Weiguo team. However, if you succeed in taking down this ice subspecies' saboteur, it is estimated that you will be able to form a point overtake all of a sudden.
"Take a little risk, take it." Levi said, "Guardian went around to the front, attracted the main force, and was careful not to fight hard. Wait for Wells to follow me, I'll do it, you can take care of it, Song Zhi and Cai Yutong will provide fire support from a distance. ”
Levi's arrangement was normal, there was nothing wrong with it, and a few people nodded, ready to act according to the plan.
After about ten minutes, Gard, who had circled in front of the frostbreaker, appeared. At this moment, he was riding a war horse wrapped in warm gear.
Sensing that there was an enemy ahead, the Frostbreaker roared in anger and sped up in his footsteps, charging straight towards Gard.
As it ran, it raised its head high, blue-white energy accumulating in his mouthparts, and a moment later, a beam of light as thick as an adult's waist shot towards the galloping Guardian.
The speed of the beam was quite fast, but fortunately Guardian had prepared in advance, and was careful enough not to get too close. The war horse under his crotch is also extraordinary. With a bit of maneuvering, he narrowly escaped two beam attacks in a row.
But that's the limit.
Although the Gard Horse dodged two attacks, the destructive beam emitted by this Ice Subspecies must have the characteristics of the Ice attribute.
Although the frost beam never hit Guardian's body directly, the explosion in close proximity to him also had a certain effect. The sudden and rapid drop in the surrounding temperature was a very severe test for him and the war horse under his crotch.
After being attacked by the cold, it was clear that they could not move as quickly as they had at the beginning. And if the frost beam of the Frost Destroyer hits the front...... With Guardian's strength, if you don't die, you have to be seriously injured.
Although he was an evolutionary of the Wall Chain, and had broken through to the level of the Second Chain, he was not too good in the Second Chain, let alone being sprayed head-on by a monster at the peak of the Fourth Chain.
But fortunately, he has teammates.
The first to attack were Song Zhi and Cai Yutong.
The two ranged attackers threw out two fireballs. The larger one is from Cai Yutong's fire bombardment, and the smaller one is Song Zhi, who is very proficient in flame power.
Two fireballs exploded on the monster's body, blowing its body to the ground, while also successfully attracting its attention.
Obviously, Cai Yutong and Song Zhi's attacks did not do enough damage to this powerful monster. It's just that, as an ice creature, this frost destroyer has a natural aversion to fire.
It stopped where it was, turned around, and no longer stared at Jiade, who was running in the distance, but prepared to turn around to deal with Cai and Song, who dared to bombard him with flames.
But when it turned around, it saw Levi and Wells, and rushed towards it.
Without thinking about it, it instinctively condensed a frost death light in its mouth and struck at Levi and Wells.
At such a close distance, it was difficult to dodge, especially since neither Levi nor Wells were evolutionaries of the Reflex Chain.
But it didn't matter, at the last moment, Levi swung the long knife in his hand, and a 'wind barrier' appeared between him and the frost breaker.
The wind wall is not as invincible as in the original game, and it is not a perfect block for any flying skill.
When the frost light blew up, the wall of wind seemed to be condensed by the power of frost.
But it was better to block it.
Rushing through the cold wind that suddenly turned cold, the Ember Demon Knife in Levi's hand had already ignited a raging flame, and at the same time, the power of the ghost slash had also been condensed!
Before the monster could react again, Levi's knife slashed at its head!
