Chapter 148: Defending
The floor and walls of the cave are littered with shiny high-grade ores, but there is not much shelter or hiding place to use.
After exploring dozens of meters with difficulty, Xiao Yue turned around and ran back to the original place quickly.
"So fast! Did you find anything? Yun Rumeng had just found a clean place to sit down, and was about to enjoy some food and fruit wine, but he didn't expect Xiao Yue to come back in less than a few minutes.
"I'm in trouble!" Xiao Yue replied distressedly. "For the time being, we haven't found a favorable factor that can be exploited, if those divine power apes attack, we will have to fight hard!"
Yun Rumeng frowned, although she had never witnessed the strength of the Divine Power Giant Ape with her own eyes, she could feel the bad situation from Xiao Yue's narration.
"In such an extreme environment, how did those divine apes get here? Or even if they do get here, will there be a price to pay, making us slightly more likely to succeed? Yun Ru dreamed, and a series of questions were thrown at Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue's eyes lit up, in his opinion, these divine power apes were able to get here, and they must rely on the shield released by the boss divine power giant ape to resist the damage of the outside world, but if they rushed here after such a journey, their shields could not still be intact, and they would always be consumed and weakened or simply annihilated, this may be the only chance for the two of them.
For now, I just want their shield cooldown to be long enough to disappear and not be able to re-energize right away.
Xiao Yue thought silently.
Time passed minute by minute in waiting, it should be this feeling of waiting for danger to come, and not being able to do anything is quite bad, Xiao Yue took out more than half of the arrows in the quiver, wiped them one by one, and arranged them neatly on the ground within reach.
He has a total of more than 1,000 steel arrows (quiver can compress the volume and weight of arrows), 10 annihilation arrows, and a phoenix feather that does not know the power, and a jungle of arrows has formed in a range of the ground. And Xiao Yue was in the middle of the jungle, a few dozen meters behind him, where the phoenix eggs were hatched.
"What are you doing here?" After Yun Rumeng finished meditating, it felt very strange to open his eyes and see a cold arrow in front of him.
Xiao Yue said lightly: "This can make me shoot arrows 5% faster." ”
Although it has the increase of the acceleration of the shining quiver, the speed of the arrow is 50% on certain occasions commonly used by archery masters, and the system will have a little delay in reacting when using the quiver by selecting other arrows.
"You're an excellent hunter." Yun Rumeng said sincerely, this is the first time she has praised Xiao Yue.
"Hehe, I am."
"I was wrong, you are a brilliant but not humble hunter."
… The boring waiting makes the two people look for different topics to pass the time, and in such a relaxed conversation, the anxiety and depression can be best calmed down, so that each other can establish enough confidence.
Until, until a few loud bangs came!
It's finally here! Xiao Yue suddenly stood up from the ground, his position was at a high point at the end of the cave, and the cave as a whole slowly extended upwards from the outside to the inside, so the position occupied by Xiao Yue could freely shoot one or two hundred meters in front of him without hindrance, and at the same time, because of the principle of cave sound transmission, he could feel the enemy's attack most clearly.
Although it may have been quite a distance, Xiao Yue could still hear the sound of heavy objects falling on the rocks, and that trembling rhythm was not the first time he had encountered it. With these rumbling sounds, the whole cave seemed to shake slightly, and dust and small stones were constantly falling from the ceiling.
As soon as these small stones fell within the protective circle demarcated by the phoenix, they were blown into pieces by a little red light born out of thin air before they landed.
Yun Rumeng silently recited the incantation, she had already issued a mental warning to the phoenix, after blessing herself with the flame barrier, she stood on the lower right of Xiao Yue with her staff, the magic crystal on the head of the staff began to shine with the brilliance of magic, in such an environment where the fire element was extremely abundant, Yun Rumeng was able to prepare her magic more easily and quickly.
"What time is it?" Xiao Yue asked suddenly.
Yun Rumeng looked at the magic watch on his wrist: "It is 11 hours, 15 minutes and 20 seconds away from the mission entrusted to us by the Phoenix, which means that even if the Phoenix learns the news, it will only be 45 minutes before it can complete the final energy release to save us." ”
Xiao Yue said hatefully: "These bitches are raised, the time is so accurate, I estimate that they can rush here in 10 minutes at most, and we need to resist these behemoths for 35 minutes!" ”
"No, it's 27 minutes, it will take 2 minutes for Phoenix to complete the final steps to arrive, if you subtract the time that the magic array can support, then our ultimate goal is to hold on for 27 minutes!" He added at the end.
27 minutes, whether it is long or not, if it is just an ordinary enemy, Xiao Yue is completely sure that it will delay until the phoenix returns to the nest, but for such a fierce divine power giant ape, it is really a big question whether Xiao Yue and the two can withstand its thunderous blow.
Yun Rumeng was about to say something, when suddenly the red light flashed in her right hand holding the staff, and the figure of the phoenix suddenly appeared behind them and let out a long roar, and the two turned around with joy, but they were shocked to find that it was just the phantom of the phoenix.
"Children, I have received the warning from you, and I have also felt your anxiety and worry, but forgive me for not being able to rush back to fight with you at this time of crisis, and now I am in the most critical tempering, and the slightest mistake will be a situation where the jade will be burned, so I can only ask you to delay as much time as possible and wait for my return! May Lady Luck bless you all! ”
The phantom of the phoenix gradually disappeared, and finally extinguished into a little fire and fell into the guard magic array, the five phoenix eggs seemed to sense something, and began to vibrate violently, and the red light of the stone pillars supporting them became more and more intense, as if they were about to burn at an instant!
The tremor in the cave was even stronger, Xiao Yue and Yun Rumeng could almost smell the breath of dangerous death, and the shattered rock fragments kept falling, many of which hit the heads and clothes of the two of them.
Xiao Yue suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he immediately looked up at the top of the cave, and an unexpected discovery surprised and delighted him!
On the roof of the cave in front of me, there were many huge protruding stones, which hung upside down, high and low, uneven, and crumbling with the shaking of the cave, but none of them could break free from the stone walls of the cave roof and fall.
It's a trapdoor!
The so-called trapdoor is an easter-like egg in the game mission, it can be a hint from the NPC, or it may be a small stone passing by the foot, it is often hidden in the most inconspicuous corner, it is difficult for the player to find the task, and once the player finds the trapdoor, it means that the probability of completing the task will be greatly improved! This is a mysterious existence in the complex quest system of the fantasy world, and many professional and non-professional players talk about it, and this kind of topic is also a hot topic in the player forum.
And Xiao Yue felt that he had discovered a trapdoor in this mission!
"Use your strongest magic to attack the rocks above!"
Time was pressing, and it was too late to explain to Yun Rumeng, Xiao Yue pointed to the top position and shouted at her, the point he chose was dozens of meters ahead, so that there was more buffer.
Yun Rumeng was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction Xiao Yue pointed, and she immediately understood why Xiao Yue had the idea of letting her consume precious mana for no reason.
"Why don't you wait for them to come before bombarding, it's better to smash them with rocks!" Yunru dreamed of another note.
"No, they're not that easy to deal with, you do it quickly, it's too late!" Xiao Yue smiled bitterly, this divine power giant ape is so big and extremely tall, how much damage can you expect to bring to them with such a drop?
Although Yun Rumeng was dissatisfied that her method was ignored by Xiao Yue, she still made a move out of trust in Xiao Yue.
Flame Dragon Storm!
Large balls of fireball burned with raging flames, roaring and gushing out from the head of the cloud like a dream, and they formed a dragon-like fireball belt in the air, rushing in the established direction!
This is the high-level fire-based group attack magic that Yun Rumeng has just learned for a long time, and the power of level 1 is quite powerful, and it does not lose the reputation of being the strongest fire-based attack.
The fireballs hit the rocks at the top of the cave and exploded, creating a sea of fire.
Yun Rumeng's actions were quite precise, and she chose to target the bottom of the protruding stone, where it was easier to shake the foundation of the stone.
Soon, the strong vibration coupled with Yun Rumeng's appropriate attack, several huge rocks finally couldn't support it, and they fell down with a bang in the expectant eyes of Xiao Yue and the others, slamming into the ground fiercely, splashing dust all over the sky!
Several rocks fell, and after the bombardment of Yun Rumeng, dozens of huge rocks fell one after another, firmly blocking the way, leaving only many narrow passages.
Yes! Yun Rumeng excitedly made a "V" gesture, but found that Xiao Yue didn't have much smile on his face.
