More than a day seems to be a long time, but for Hu Siming and them, it just feels like time is not enough.

After all, the Corrupted Nest is a desert with a radius of nearly a hundred miles, and with such a vast environment, it is simply an impossible task to clean up with only two teams. Even, let alone just over a day, even if they are given a week, they may not be able to take care of every corner.

In this case, the benefits of the college's actual control of the zhì area are revealed.

Because the Sandhammer Camp has been established for many years, the topographical overview of the nearby area and the most likely distribution points of demonic beasts have all been figured out by the academy. Before leaving, Adam shared information with them and highlighted it on the map. With such detailed information, the four of them don't need to search aimlessly, as long as they follow the map, the speed and efficiency are suddenly much faster. Half a day on the 14th, Hu Siming and his entourage cleared six or seven monster nests at a fixed point, including at least thirty or forty long-range monsters, and even two elites.

Although there were no good things dropped, only some materials and an ordinary high-grade treasure, they were divided equally, and each person could still get two or three hundred general points.

This efficiency is already very high, but compared to the entire Corruption Nest, it is only a small part at best. In normal times, Hu Siming and the others would most likely take the risk of cleaning up overnight. But this is a new world full of dangers, and with the Dire Darktide just one day away, God knows what will happen during the night. No one wanted to be surrounded by a horde of rampaging monsters in the middle of the night, so they ventured into the hunt and hurried back after nightfall.

This was also explained by Adam, after all, there were only so many students guarding the camp, and he didn't want the Dire Darktide to lose his troops before it arrived.

When I re-entered the camp, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening.

In the gloomy sky, the small silver moon had long since disappeared. The big crescent moon has only a crescent moon, and the other parts are gone. Perhaps due to this, the night sky is covered with dark clouds, and countless stars are obscured on weekdays. Not to mention the Warcraft, even the students were inexplicably a little irritable in their hearts.

"Whoa!"

To the north of the camp, several sand wolves followed the returning trainees, presumably under attack from the defense tower.

Since nightfall, there have been some scattered demonic beasts attacking the camp one after another. The tireless Treant warriors and druid mages have climbed the stone walls to keep watch. In such an atmosphere, few people can sleep soundly, and most people rest under the torches of the camp. The light of the fire swayed in the wind, and even the shadows cast out were unsettling like demons and monsters.

Overnight, the camp was spent under constant attacks and harassment.

It wasn't until almost dawn that a wave of nearly twenty demonic beasts rushed up in a scattered manner, and this was the only attack that could pose the slightest threat to the camp. However, the towers of the stone walls and the druid mages who were on the lookout for action came to the rescue. After a round of concentrated fire, several demonic beasts that rushed to the front were killed. The remaining beasts were also stopped by traps, barricades, etc., and were hit by a triple three-dimensional blow from the approaching Treant soldiers, druid mages, and defense towers.

Even, some of the trainees rushed to the scene when they heard the news and joined the attack.

When Hu Siming and the others hurriedly climbed the stone wall, the battle was nearing its end. But the fierceness of these monsters is not afraid of death, but it made a deep impression on him. On weekdays, with the cunning of the New World Warcraft, after finding that they can't break through the camp, nine times out of ten, they will choose to escape. But under the influence of the precursors of the Dire Darktide, they became crazy and bloodthirsty one by one, and all of them died in front of the barricades, and none of them escaped.

Such ferocity made many students feel cold.

"Let's go, let's go out and clean!"

Silently seeing that the last demonic beast was also killed, Hu Siming looked at Jiang Ming's sky and left the camp with his teammates first.

Six o'clock in the morning!

From this moment of daylight, Dire Darktide truly entered the final twelve hours of countdown.

Even though it's still daylight, the monsters of the Corrupted Lair are becoming more restless, and there are signs of large-scale conspiracies. Under such circumstances, the situation of Hu Siming and the four of them has also become precarious. In addition to clearing out some lonely long-range monsters as much as possible, they can only obediently retreat when they encounter some monsters that have already formed a large team, such as a group of more than a dozen at every turn.

Without the camp's defenses, it would be too risky to fight them in the wild.

After killing all the way, although there was a lot of experience energy and materials, the faces of Yan Shaoou, Xu Guang and Shi Niu became more and more heavy and embarrassed. Because, judging from the large group of monsters encountered along the way, the scale of tonight's Dire Darktide is only beyond imagination. With only a few dozen herds of beasts, they had encountered four or five groups from afar, let alone those who had not been encountered by them. Just on the western defense line, if you don't make it, the camp will have to face hundreds or even more demonic beasts.

What a beast tide this is!

The only good news is that, with the help of detailed maps, they've killed more monsters than they ever imagined. On weekdays, this is the amount that may not be able to be hunted for three or four days. Even if the experience is divided equally among the four people, but with the bonus of the energy saver, Hu Siming's experience value is still a little closer to the full level.

It's not far from upgrading to Elite LV3.

In this case, there is no need to use the cooled gold hand in advance. Although the biggest use of the gold hand is to gain experience and general points, the characteristics of killing a high-level monster in seconds should not be underestimated. Leave it until tonight, and this refining ability may be of great help.

"A kilometre further on, there's a good chance you'll see a Corrupt Stinging Snake. ”

Looking at the sky and comparing the annotations on the map, Xu Guang confirmed the next target. He often teases on weekdays, and only at this time will he rarely have a serious look.

Judging from the information provided by Adam, the Corrupt Stinging Snake is also a long-range attack monster, with a level of up to ordinary LV12, which is considered the top-level monster in the Corrupt Lair. Its only means of inflicting Corruption on its attacks, which is an orb effect that corrupts the target by 3 armor. On weekdays, not many people will be afraid of it, after all, it has no other means than this magic ball effect, it is nothing more than a little higher output. But this Dire Darktide, this kind of remote point output monster, must be dealt with first.

Therefore, as soon as they approached the point where it might haunt, the four immediately turned to rush over.

Since the demonic beasts of the Nest of Corruption had begun to assemble in tandem at this time, the four of them were also mentally prepared to pounce and the target had left. But after really approaching the area, the four of them were pleasantly surprised to find that these stinging snakes not only did not leave, but gathered nearby. As many as six stinging snakes leaned in a roughly circular shape near a weathered, hollow stone nest, their sacs containing the corrupted liquid vibrating and snorting hoarsely.

"This is the Stinging Snake?"

Yan Shaoou glanced at it and felt a little disgusting.

These brown-yellow monsters walked by the squirming of their abdomen dragged on the ground, their bodies covered with sharp bone spurs, and their backs were covered with a thick shell. The huge head opened and closed, spewing putrid gas from time to time, and the huge poison sac located in the neck was vaguely visible.

Hu Siming also looked at it a few times, and said with great joy: "Fortunately, I found it, these six stinging snakes are gathered together, and the threat is still quite big." If they really dragged them until the late stage of the Dire Darktide to attack the camp, they would lose a few. ”

Xu Guang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's keep the old rules." Dead Niu and Lao Yan have one each, I will drag two, and Brother Hu will see the situation. If you can scare two, you can scare two, if you can't, you can use illusion to resist first, and then give it to me - the dead cow will protect me first. ”

"Wait, my mercenary priest will be recruited too. ”

The strength of the corrupt stinging snake is much stronger than that of the corrupt scorpion, and Hu Siming also faintly felt that something was wrong, so he directly summoned the priest. In the previous cleanup, Xu Guang and Shi Niu were not the first time they had seen the priest, so they calmly enjoyed the increase in the fire of the heart. Under the addition of several auras and buffs, the combat power of the four people increased in a straight line and rushed forward side by side.

The Corrupted Stinging Serpent's warning range seemed to be quite far away, and the four of them walked around the side of the weathered stone nest, barely a blind spot in their line of sight, and were still spotted after entering fifty meters. Seeing that the six stinging snakes were messily taking the initiative to usher in this direction, the four of them stopped lowering their footsteps and rushed over at full speed.

Thirty meters away!

At this time, Hu Siming could already charge ahead. But these monsters are all ranged, and he doesn't want to be set on fire by the six stinging snakes, so he is ready to patiently join his teammates.

This prudent decision helped him avoid a crisis.

Because, just as the distance was closer to twenty meters, the six stinging snakes opened their foul mouths and prepared to attack. Almost at the same time, a black and white aura suddenly appeared, enveloping the six stinging snakes at the same time.

Despite the slight differences, this uncertain aura was so familiar that they recognized it immediately after taking many compulsory classes - the Strike Aura!

Obviously it was six ordinary corrupt stinging snakes, why did they suddenly have an extra aura of strong strikes?

Hu Siming and Xu Guang, who rushed to the front, both had a little doubt in their hearts. But after half a second, the faces of the two changed dramatically, realized something, and began to change direction to make an emergency stop, while shouting a warning.

"Be careful, there's a lord beast nearby!"

"Hurry back!"

Two voices, almost at the same time. Although the shouting was different, there was the same vigilance and panic.

The six Corrupt Stinging Serpents and the six Corrupt Stinging Serpents under the Lord's Command are two different concepts entirely. Although there were no other monsters nearby, they were well-informed and could naturally guess that the suspicious lord was likely to have stealth or burrowing abilities.

And this was immediately confirmed with the squirming of the ground under the feet of the two!
