Chapter XVII: The Encounter
Known as the "Forbidden Land of Death" The Great Swamp has always been heavily guarded by various countries, because whether it is the Goblin Kingdom in the west or the Lizardman tribe in the north, they will regularly organize expeditionary forces to invade the human kingdom, and the rulers of the previous dynasties have learned from the pain, put aside the past grievances, and united to build a huge Great Wall outside the Swamp, the Great Wall is 32 miles wide, north to the Storm Fortress, south to the Gray Parrot Harbor, firmly enclosing this large swamp, once any large army appears, it will definitely be detected by the Griffin Cavalry Regiment and launch a thunder raid in advance!
And at this moment, even the eagle-sharp eyes of the griffin could not penetrate the thick palm coconut grove and detect this strange force.
There's a reason why this team is weird, and at the head of the group is a sturdy half-werewolf, carrying a blood-stained axe and grinning all sorts of meat jokes.
Behind him was a "creature" of an invisible substance like a mass of purple jelly, and beyond that was a handsome and emaciated man who did not look like a mortal, with a bow and arrow on his back, and his eyes never left the front, as if he was ready to draw a bow and shoot an arrow at any time.
Standing in the center of the procession was a man dressed like an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, wearing a mask covered in demonic spirals, silently advancing through the barren land.
There is no need for a majority, this is naturally Tang Ruiyi and his party who set off to curse the town.
"We've been walking for three days, why haven't we made it out of the swamp?" Lulanco grumbled, swinging an axe to chop an eyeless python in two.
Tang Ruiyi bent down and picked up the thing that the giant python burst out, it was a thief's boning skill scroll, something useless, he raised his head and replied: "Soon, there are very few ferns around, and there will be a day at most before the border sentry post." ”
As you get closer to human territory, the level of monsters also begins to decrease, but the explosion rate of monsters also increases slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"A thief's boning. ”
Lulanco pursed his lips and said, "These monsters are so poor that they haven't even seen a piece of equipment after fighting so much." ”
Mojibone, who had been obscure, spoke: "You can be content, your equipment is already the top within level 10." ”
Indeed, black iron level equipment can only appear on bosses, and dark blue equipment can be used up to level 20.
As for the skill book of boning, Tang Ruiyi was not polite, he learned it directly, looked at the skill column, and there were more than 30 skills, most of which were beginner and first-class, how could he have time to practice?
He felt a little dizzy at the thought of the amount of energy and time it would take to reach the intermediate level with so many skills.
The rangers recruited by the ten bow towers are named Victoria Archers, all of whom are level 6, and their equipment is only the most ordinary white leather armor, but they are superior in number, and even Lulanco will have to temporarily avoid the edge after a volley.
And because of the priceless passive effect, I don't know how many monsters come to die along the way, although there are more people who have less experience, but they can't stand the amount of more, everyone's experience value is still like a rocket, Shenfeng is already level nine, Mojibon is level 10, Lulanke is also level 8, and Tang Ruiyi himself is not far from level 10.
Just as Tang Ruiyi was distracted, suddenly the bushes in front of him squirmed, and Shenfeng immediately shot out with a piercing arrow, and an angry scream came.
"What's that?" Tang Ruiyi asked in surprise.
I saw a huge beetle emerge from the bushes, this beetle was hundreds of times larger than ordinary kinds, more than a meter tall just by lying there, and the huge carapace of sadness flashed with a metallic luster.
A Scouting Technique Thrown Over: [Granite Cockroach (Level 9) (Elite) Life 2000]
Fortunately, it was just an elite monster, and the granite cockroach stood up, opened its dark green eyes, and squeaked and pounced on everyone.
Lulanco directly roared angrily and charged to entangle the granite cockroach, while the others hurriedly retreated, and the blade took the bow and fired three times in a row! Suddenly, the metal arrow flew and hit the carapace of the granite cockroach.
-8,-5,-7
A series of low damage is outrageous, and everyone almost vomits blood! What kind of perverted defense is this! You must know that with the new equipment, with the attack power of the blade, the monsters that skip the level and hit the 10th level can cause tons of output, bully the low-level monsters, and if you are lucky enough to hit a critical hit, you can even kill it in seconds, and in the face of this monster of the same level, you can actually hit such a pitiful damage!
Tang Ruiyi also tried to shoot an arrow with a poisoned bow.
"Click!"
-6
He almost, he didn't break the defense, and he didn't even trigger the poisoning effect, do you dare to be a little more meaty.
With so many attacks, the granite cockroach emits a baby-like cry, sharp and poignant.
"Help, this strange defense is against the sky, I cut my hands numb. ”
Seeing the granite cockroach open its bloody mouth, revealing sharp teeth like a meat grinder, it looked particularly terrifying.
Lu Lanke screamed strangely, and quickly blocked the axe in front of him, and Tang Ruiyi also landed on his head in time with a healing technique.
-4
"Hey, it turned out to be a silver spear candle head, it doesn't work!" Lulanco, who closed his eyes, did not wait for the expected stormy attack, but instead a soft and powerless bite.
"Then you're going to die!" Lulanco opened his eyes, and his two arms full of explosive power clamped the granite cockroach's large mouth, and he smiled cruelly and turned on the aura of poison, and for a moment the entire granite cockroach turned green.
Tang Ruiyi took the opportunity to take out the poisonous bow and shot it into the big mouth without armor protection, causing a lot of damage.
Seeing that the trick was recognized, knowing that these people were very different from the bipedal creatures it usually hunted, the compound eyes of the granite cockroach suddenly showed a look of fear, and he tried to escape by burrowing into the ground many times, but Luranko, who had opened the aura of poison, was like a kraft candy clinging to it, and he couldn't shake it off!
What follows is a long war of attrition.
"Kill it, blast it with a fire scorpion ballista!" Tang Ruiyi immediately ordered.
Two Victorian archers carried the ballista out, and a sharpened branch was filled with ammunition.
"Boom!"
Under the action of acceleration, the branches of the trees bombarded the carapace of the granite cockroach like cannonballs!
The granite cockroach kept rolling in pain, convulsing and screaming earth-shatteringly, but it couldn't break free from Lulanco's strange power.
One shot knocked out more than 50 damage to the granite cockroach, Tang Ruiyi activated the sword gall and the heart, and began to output violently with a very high critical hit!
Mojibon also quietly sneaked behind the monster, slamming into a flurry of prods, bleeding, crippled, dizzy, and various negative states continued to emerge.
During this period, Shenfeng has been continuously frantically output, and there are more than hundreds of broken arrows on the ground alone.
As the amount of blood steadily decreased, the granite cockroach's strength began to decrease, and it only gnawed at Luranko's arm in vain, but every few tens of seconds, a healing technique wiped out its efforts.
Finally, the blood volume was less than 400 points, and the granite cockroach was scorched.
"Attention, the monster is going to release skills!" Tang Ruiyi hurriedly reminded loudly.
I saw the granite moth writhing clumsily and spewing out a large pool of milky white slime, which directly covered Lulanke and fixed it in place.
can't let the previous hard work be blinded, and Tang Ruiyi had no choice but to carry a sword and shield and fight hand-to-hand with the granite cockroach.
Mojibon was very close, and directly chiseled the granite cockroach, successfully blocking the monster's escape.
Tang Ruiyi took over the control of the monster like a relay, and a lightning technique paralyzed the action of the granite cockroach, don't look at the terrible of this monster's high defense, but it also has a very fatal weakness, that is, the speed is terrible, even his blue is full, it is still crawling slowly, except for the terrible physical defense, this granite cockroach is really no threat.
To be on the safe side, he has been walking around the edge of the range of the granite cockroach spraying slime, and the golden rose shield has always been in his hand, ready to hold high for protection.
Under such a watertight (obscene) tactic, the granite cockroach is like a terminally ill patient, roaring wildly, but it can only splash countless dust in vain, and all kinds of strange negative states make it a luxury to even move its body a little.
Ten minutes later, the granite cockroach, which had completely lost its strength, fell to the ground in despair, and without snorting, it generously burst out a large pile of shiny things.
Now it's time for the scavenging!
Lulanco finally broke free of the mucus, and as soon as he came out, he excitedly shouted, "Let's see what's good?"
The quick-witted Mojibon collected all the things, and ran to Tang Ruiyi to hand them over to him for identification.
Tang Ruiyi's appraisal level is not high, only the primary second class, here to mention, different levels of appraisal will cause different degrees of increase or decrease in the attributes of the equipment, so if you get a high-level equipment, it is best to spend money to find a smart appraiser to identify, but low-end equipment like light blue and dark blue does not have so many requirements.
With a flash of light, the results of the item's identification were out.
One "Rough Raven Skin Armor" with a small amount of Cold Resistance and Speed.
A "Super Boot" auto-restores durability and acceleration defense.
The third is a navy hat:
[Mole's Skull Hat (Dark Blue): Requires Level 9, Light +3, Defense +8, Mining, Survey, Mosaic, and Excavation Level Increases by 1]
In addition, there are two skill scrolls, one is the warrior's "Gathering Qi Reloaded" and the other is the archer's "Blind Archery", both of which are good skills.
The former can charge for three seconds to obtain a state of temporary increase in defense by 30%, but the movement speed will be reduced by 10%, which can be said to be a necessary skill for meat shields, whether it is used to block skills or increase the survival rate, it is a magic skill, and it is strange that it has been fighting for so long, Tang Ruiyi is still the first time to see the skill of four words, which shows how precious this skill book is.
The other "Blind Archery" is a passive skill that improves the accuracy of the archer's blind shooting and his intuition in the dark, although it is not as valuable as "Gathering Spirits and Reloading", but it is also very good.
"Skill scrolls for Lulanco and Shenfeng, leather armor and boots for Mojibone, and hats for me, how about this distribution?"
"I'm okay with that. Lulanco was the first to express his opinion, and he was already very satisfied with getting a magic skill.
Mojibon glanced at the attribute of the skull hat, and when he saw the attribute of light +3, he immediately pouted in disgust, elemental creatures naturally hate light, and they will not touch anything with light power.
"I don't have a problem with that. ”
"No!" Shen Feng had always looked cold, and even if he didn't give him anything, he probably wouldn't have any opinions.
"Hmm. After distributing the loot, Tang Ruiyi nodded, put on a hat that looked like a skull, Tang Ruiyi's defense power had reached 34 points, plus the protective shield provided by Pan Shen's ring, he could already be called half a meat shield.
He regretted a little that he hadn't met more of these monsters, hey, he had brought the siege equipment if he had known it earlier, so the speed at which they could fight monsters would be three or four times faster!
