Chapter 42: The Flame Skull Archer
In the underground labyrinth, there is no division between day and night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At all times, there is always an oppressive darkness that makes it difficult to feel the passage of time. Being on high alert for long periods of time in such an environment, experiencing occasional battles, and not being able to find a safe spot to rest in such an environment can be a stressful adventure for any candidate.
Those who have poor tolerance may reach the limit in one day and one night.
And in this place full of undead, once you can't maintain your proper state, and you don't quit in time to rest, the end is likely to be death!
But in that case, safety is safe, and the efficiency of exploration is not guaranteed.
Because of this, the client who was lucky enough to discover this natural underground labyrinth did not waste time searching slowly on his own.
For people of her level, the "copy" of the altar in the depths of the dungeon is the most valuable thing, and the other benefits are just small heads.
Fang Jin naturally didn't know much about the calculations and plans behind this. For him at the moment, his own benefits and exploration progress are undoubtedly the primary concerns. After the Crystal Spider, he turned back to his previous fork in the road and re-entered the pitch-black left passage. After either stealthily avoiding or killing four or five undead monsters with a challenge level no higher than yellow along the way, it took most of the day to enter the end of the branch of the underground labyrinth - or at least one of them.
The corridor-shaped passage suddenly opens up and becomes a lobby-like platform.
With the help of the exposed fluorescent ore veins overhead, Fang Jin could see the whole picture of the hall more clearly. Two naturally formed gray stone pillars, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, stand in the center of the hall and play the role of pillars. Around the stone pillar, scattered were the bones of several unknown creatures that had long since decayed. Except, the hall filled with foul air was almost empty.
There is only one unconscious wandering undead, disturbing the peace of this place for a long time.
Compared to the undead creatures seen before, it is relatively slender, with slender bones, and should be more agile. What's even more different is that its weapon is not a melee weapon like a bone sword, but a bone bow made of miserable white animal bones and unknown animal tendons!
It turned out to be a rare ranged monster, and the weapon type was exactly the same as his!
Challenge Level - Red!
Although he could feel that this monster located at the end of the underground labyrinth was very strong, this discovery still made Fang Jin interested.
After observing secretly for a moment, his heart moved. Maybe give it a try?
After considering his thoughts for a moment, Fang Jin made a decision. Instead of returning from this path, he took two steps forward.
In a short distance, it immediately alarmed the flame skeleton archer who didn't know how long it had been wandering.
The instinctive abomination of the breath of the living beings made it quickly turn its head and look at Fang Jin's side.
In the two empty eye sockets, the orange-red soul fire burned brightly.
"Eat Lao Tzu's arrow first!"
Fang Jin would not be polite to this undead, and when he found that he was exposed, he immediately pulled out the oak bow and struck first!
It had been a long time since anyone had invaded the place, and the Flame Skull Archer's reaction was unexpectedly slow, and a feathered arrow was nailed directly to the door of the head. Although there is no weakness for the undead, this provocative arrow still angers it.
Sharp bone arrows appeared on top of its miserable white bone bow.
A wisp of soul fire departed from its body and attached itself to the arrow of the bone arrow, instantly causing the bone arrow to burst into flames. Although the orange-red flame seemed to burn relatively quietly and did not have much violent momentum, Fang Jin's intuition immediately sensed a great threat.
Skill [Arrow of Flame]!
The damage of this arrow was definitely more terrifying than the arrow of the stars that Fang Jin opened with all his might.
Thankfully, the Flame Arrow only adds high damage and doesn't have a sure-hit attribute. Feeling the crisis of being locked, Fang Jin rolled on a lazy donkey regardless of his image, and dodged this arrow to the limit.
When he stood up again and looked back with his peripheral vision, the bone arrow with soul fire attached to it was firmly stuck in the stone wall of the underground labyrinth. Even if the hard rock was cut with a knife, it could only leave a shallow mark, but the Arrow of Hellfire only left half of the shaft outside.
At least not a dozen centimeters!
It's amazingly powerful!
Although Fang Jin's physical strength was as high as 14 points, which was much stronger than that of ordinary humans, he didn't feel that his current body could be harder than rocks.
After reminding himself secretly, watching the Flame Skeleton Archer draw a bone arrow again, Fang Jin hurriedly ran.
His goal is the two supporting stone pillars in the hall!
This stone pillar, which is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, is as thick as a person hugging the ground, even if the bottom part is close to the ground. Fang Jin could completely use it as his own cover.
If you change to a melee undead, this trick is meaningless, and it will definitely be chased and cut by the opponent around the stone pillar. But the monsters of the long-range attack system usually have a characteristic, that is, they are used to ensuring a certain distance from humans!
This Flame Skull Archer is no exception.
A few arrows fired in a row, although he made a simple prediction of his running position, it was a pity that Fang Jin's speed was too fast, and several bone arrows all grazed his body and missed, nailing them into the rocks behind him effortlessly. In the nearest one, Fang Jin's skin could even feel the air flow rushing by.
However, he managed to hide behind the stone pillar.
After that, things will be easy to do, as long as Fang Jin pretends to show his head, a bone arrow will immediately fly in front of him. Taking advantage of the Flame Skull Archer's attacks, he actually dodged out from behind the pillar and fired back. Although the monster's follow-up attacks followed, they were slow for a moment after all-Fang Jin didn't look at it after the arrow, and immediately ducked back behind the stone pillar.
Although it was very extreme, after only a few rounds of success, Fang Jin realized that his method was extremely feasible.
Undead monsters don't have enough intelligence, they're not the cunning monsters of the forest, and they're not humans who can think for themselves. As long as you grasp a point that can be targeted, you can defeat the strong with the least cost!
Wisdom and observation are sometimes more powerful than direct combat power.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
The sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded at the end of the dungeon one after another.
The one with a sharper voice and the faster sound of breaking through the air was the skeleton's bone arrow, and the relatively low one was Fang Jin's ordinary feather arrow. However, the attack of the Flame Skeleton Archer, four or five times, may not be able to hit Fang Jin, and it only caused a lot of damage to the supporting stone pillar in vain. On the contrary, Fang Jin's counterattack relying on the terrain is often effective.
In an instant, the Flame Skull Archer's health was lost by a third, and the soul fire was much dimmed.
Feeling uneasy, it moved around the hall restlessly, hoping to go around the back of the stone pillar to attack Fang Jin. But its instinctive behavior is simply not likely to have any effect. Fang Jin only needed to adjust his position closely, so that he could always keep the stone pillar between himself and it.
It was unexpectedly smooth, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Except for the first adventure, when he killed the black-scaled viper for one reason or another, or used his strength to kill the ogre at the leveling point that Sun Hao had informed, Fang Jin was rarely able to kill a monster with a red challenge level on his own. In most cases, he only dared to deal with demonic beasts with white and yellow challenge levels.
Perhaps, this is a more successful example!
