The opening of the shun lì made the three of them a little careless, and in the end they still underestimated the enemy.

Although the Spell Scroll is indeed impossible to prevent, if they are always vigilant enough, it may not be impossible to stop the other party. But now, it's too late.

"Question, how did that guy just now get our position?"

After standing in the wind and snow for a moment, Xu Guang was the first to recover from the blow and asked the question he did not understand. Just as it was difficult for them to find someone, it was also a big problem for the Dire trainees to find them in the vast snowfield. If it was said that it was a coincidence, it would be too coincidental.

Xu Guang didn't understand this question, but Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou had the answer.

When the three were attacked, they had just left the ruins of the base of the two Dire trainees. It is likely that the other party identified their traces when Hu Siming first appeared, and rushed over in time. This is the most likely fact, and of course it is not excluded that he has some special positioning treasures.

Whether this is really the case or not is not really important now. The point is, what do they do next!

If you only determine the location of the fifth person, extrapolate backwards according to the time and direction he arrived, and then exclude the area that the three people have searched before, you can still get an approximate location. It's just that there is no threat from the hound, and the other party can abandon the base at any time, and even now it has left. What's the point of struggling to find the line of defense he had built before?

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Yan Shaoou was a little hesitant, what if that person was very confident in his defense line and didn't leave rashly? If they could break through the defense line, they would have a chance to capture the opponent alive.

"If I were him, I wouldn't be holding it up. ”

After all, the Radiant team made the battlefield actively balance the difficulty, and the four Dire trainees had also died one after another. The remaining fifth person shouldn't be so careless. Hu Siming instinctively thought that the other party was likely to have hidden in advance, and even if he looked for it, he would probably find nothing. However, he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to complete the main story 100% like this.

Then give it a try!

The decision was made, and the three of them continued their search. Although there were no hounds, they were able to locate a half-ring-shaped area based on their distance and direction, and searched carefully through it. After nearly an hour, the trio managed to find the line established by the fifth Dire cadet on the southwest side of the ruins, behind an inconspicuous slope.

At a glance, they gave up the idea of storming.

More than two and a half hours have passed since the beginning of the battlefield. Relying on his own economic development, plus the resources to receive four teammates, the Dire cadet has built his own defensive line into solid shape. The two stone walls inside and outside, all of which are reinforced and heightened, have been upgraded at least three times, and the durability is as high as 800 points. There are two rows of arrow towers in the front and back on the inside, a total of eight, and each of them has an attack power of 39-47 points!

In addition, he has built an expensive Frost Magic Tower in the middle that slows enemies down.

This tower, which can slow down, is too much of a threat to Hu Simin. With two rows of eight arrow towers, you can definitely shoot a student who dares to step forward. It is not impossible for Hu Siming and the three of them to want to attack, but it needs to be consumed many times, and there is a great risk.

As for the owner of the base, as expected, he did not show up. I don't know if he is hiding nearby and observing from afar, or if he has already gone away and developed a remote control base.

This is still possible when the main buildings have already been completed.

If there was a glimmer of hope for the trio before they saw this improvised fortress-like defensive line with their own eyes, now they had completely lost interest in attacking. It's not that there is no possibility of capture, the main thing is that the enemy is likely not to be inside, and even if you try your best to defeat it, it will be meaningless in the end.

With the hound killed and the initiative lost, the trio finally made a wise choice - to retreat.

Instead of continuing to wander around and waste time, it is better to give up early and instead discover the hidden plot of the battlefield. Of course, just giving up like this is too cheap for that guy. After pretending to fail to feint, the three of them left unwillingly, but they didn't really go far. After going around in a circle, he quickly lurked back to the vicinity under the cover of wind and snow. While discussing the hidden plot, take a closer look to see if the enemy will be fooled and reappear.

Judging from the description of the scene, the monster that is said to be the "Ice Dragon" is supposed to be hiding in the valley near the town, and it is related to an avalanche. The three of them can use guò to probe the traces left by the avalanche, find the hidden valley, and then find out the hidden boss of this battlefield.

The plan is ready, now it's time to see if the Dire cadets will show up.

Because the snow was getting bigger, the three people who were lurking gathered their breath and were covered with snow. As long as you don't walk in and look closely, you can't find anything abnormal at all. In such concealment, the three of them stayed for more than half an hour, their bodies were almost frozen, and the guy who attacked the hound never appeared.

I don't know if he saw through the thoughts of the three of them, or if he was determined to hide it and didn't want to come out.

Seeing that there were only more than two hours left before the end of the battlefield, Hu Siming decided not to wait in vain. The flames in his body poured out, scattering the snowflakes on his body, and he appeared with two teammates. If there is no accident, it seems that the basic rewards of this unified examination cannot be taken all, so I can only try my best to dig out the hidden plot and get the extra rewards.

In a faint state of regret, the three began to search along the ruins of the town.

A quarter of an hour later, they stopped in front of a cliff in the middle of the snow-capped mountains directly north of the battlefield. If you look up from here, you can see a large area of ice skating hanging down, and it is a beautiful sight. However, the three of them did not bother to enjoy this rare beauty, but looked at the narrow hole directly in front of them. The layers of snow there, cracked by the shaking of the avalanche, were narrowest enough for three people to move side by side, stretching inward, and getting wider and wider.

"This should be it!"

After looking carefully for a moment, Yan Shaoou's eyes showed confidence.

He summoned a water elemental and let it go in and explore its way. After more than 100 meters of progress along the winding ice crevasse, the road ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a valley surrounded by mountains. Like the frosty glades outside, there was a lot of snow and ice here, an area the size of the ruins of five or six small towns.

"Can't be wrong. ”

Confirming the shared vision from the water element, the three of them did not hesitate and meandered in. Xu Guang, who was walking at the end, pretended to be tripped and quietly checked the reconnaissance guards. This was a precautionary measure, and if the Dire trainee was really bold enough to track him down, and he didn't happen to be invisible, he would be spotted by the guards.

When the time comes, he will naturally look good!

With their hands in their hands, the three of them entered the valley, which was surrounded by mountains. Compared to the frost woodland outside, this hidden land is still much smaller. Not long after, the trio found the suspected target in the middle of a large cedar forest. It was a floating spirit monster with a translucent body that was faintly silvery on the head, and it looked like a humanoid ghost with a large head.

In the eye of discernment, there is information about it.

【Phantom of Ice】

Rating Lv14, Green Name Monster (Elite Level)

With excellent intelligence attributes and a cunning personality, he can simulate the strongest monster he has ever seen to intimidate his opponents.

Max HP 1100, Attack 63-68, Base Armor 2. Possess the skills Polar Ice Slash, Phantom, and Dragon's Roar.

Lv14 Elite Monster?

For ordinary freshmen, the strength of this monster is indeed very strong, enough to serve as the hidden boss of the unified examination. Even for Hu Siming and the others, the strength of this Ice Phantom is extremely strong, and there is no room for carelessness. If you guessed correctly, the roar of the ice dragon mentioned in the scene description should be its third skill, Dragon Roar.

Although it was already ** not far from ten, in order to ensure safety, the three of them still searched the neighborhood again. After making sure there were no other monsters distracting, they regrouped and confronted the Ice Phantom.

The expressions of the three of them looked more relaxed than expected.

Of course, there is a reason for this, the "script" that has been revised one after another before has not used the cold rock they prepared. Now, this lv8 Ice Golem is just right to be used as a meat shield. With its bulky size, it can take amazing damage. Hu Siming and Xu Guang can take the opportunity to play an amazing output with Yan Shaoou's three water elements.

When Yan Shaoou summoned the first water elemental and the skill was about to cool down, the battle began.

The cold rock was stimulated by Hu Siming, and it quickly condensed into a huge puppet about three meters tall and composed of hard ice. As soon as it appeared, the movement it created caught the attention of the Ice Phantom. The latter's body shook and floated quickly in this direction.

Under the command of Hu Siming, the ice and snow puppet strode up to meet it, and it was a punch!

The Ice Phantom's special properties allow it to take 20% less physical damage. The puppet's punch was originally incredibly powerful, but when nerfed, it did less than fifty damage. However, the three of them didn't expect it to be an output, as long as they could hold off the Ice Phantom.

After patiently waiting for two rounds of attacks, and after the hatred was solid, Yan Shaoou's magic water staff swung one after another, using the Evil Spirit Knight Emblem, depriving himself of a quarter of his health, and summoning two water elementals one after another.

In this way, the three water elements immediately took on the heavy responsibility of output.

Hu Siming also turned on his talent, and surrounded him with Xu Guang, and the sword fell at the same time, one left and one right. Three top-level freshmen, three advanced water elementals, and a normal-level lv8 ice golem are equivalent to seven output points. Even if the Phantom of Ice is an elite monster at lv14, it can't bear such an output. After just one round, its figure shook one after another, activating its skills.

Countless ice and snow flew up from behind it, condensing into ice spears about two meters long, and forming six in a row!
