Chapter 317: Clearing at the same time
After a brief subsidence of the fighting, the cadets began to take advantage of the brief opportunity to recuperate.
In the second batch of trainees, there were several people whose blood was not damaged and began to clean up the battlefield. The drop of the half-dragons is not bad, but it can't stand the fact that there are too many students participating in the battle, and it is not enough for more than 20 people. After all the results are collected into the public space, they are evenly distributed among each person, and it is estimated that it is only enough for a small amount of potion money.
"What's next?"
Liang Wu looked at the three deep forks in the mine and asked Hu Siming.
Although he didn't finish speaking, Hu Siming understood what he didn't mean. Although the half-dragons have been scattered and cannot pose a numerical threat, the students still need to clear them all. Now the key question is whether to concentrate on cleaning one by one, or whether to divide into three ways and go hand in hand.
Concentrate on cleaning one by one, and safety is guaranteed. The downside is that it's slow, and there's a chance that the half-dragons of the other two tunnels will reunite.
It is much more efficient to advance separately, but there are only seven or eight people in each mine. In the event of a counterattack, there is a certain risk of damage. What's more, two people have to be left to guard the elevator, and the number of people who can be called is even more limited.
Liang Wu was a little hesitant in his heart, but Hu Siming had an opinion-he preferred to go hand in hand in three ways.
These three branch tunnels are relatively narrow, and there is not much room for students to use them. If you throw twenty people in one direction, only more than half of them can exert their combat effectiveness at the same time, and the rest will be wasted. In contrast, the latter, although a little risky, is completely negligible in the face of exponentially improved efficiency.
Several masters next to him also mostly agreed with Hu Siming's point of view.
After all, this is the territory of the half-dragons, and the sooner you complete the task, the sooner you can retreat. Although there are sophomores sniping the reinforcements sent by the Bronze Dragon Tribe, no one can say how long it will last. In order to ensure that the final exam is completed, even a little risk is necessary.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the trainees participating in the mission are all masters and are more confident in themselves.
Unanimous in opinion, the trainees acted quickly.
Except for the students who hung up and the two who stayed behind, the remaining students were roughly in groups of seven, each responsible for cleaning a mine road. Hu Siming and Liang Wu were counted as a group, and the young man who had blessed Hu Siming with evil fanaticism before also leaned over. After four more people, seven people formed a team and headed for the widest of the three forks.
"This is the sniper team!"
Just when the three groups of students were searching separately, Zhu Mingcheng's voice sounded again in the communication channel.
Everyone knows that the reinforcements sent by the Bronze Dragon Tribe are directly related to the success or failure of the entire cross-level mission. As soon as this voice sounded, whether it was the sophomore seniors on the side of the main mine or the first-year students on the side of the A and B branches, they all pricked up their ears and listened.
"This medium-sized Chromian tribe has already dispatched its first reinforcements, and it is estimated that there will be at least twenty Half-Dragonman elite warriors, ten Half-Dragonmen flame archers, plus a Half-Dragonman leader, who will be in contact with our department in two minutes. According to the intelligence of the reconnaissance crow, the tribe is still mobilizing a second batch of reinforcements, which will be led by the half-dragon elder himself. We will do our best to snipe, and I also ask the mining area to speed up the progress, just in case!"
Reinforcements from the Bronze Dragon Tribe have departed!
This not optimistic news made all the students feel tighter and more urgent. There are about twenty sophomores in charge of sniping, and it will definitely be no problem to deal with the first batch of reinforcements. But what about a second, larger batch of reinforcements?
No one dared to pat their chests and promise.
The news spread, and there was a brief silence in the communication channel. Hu Siming took six teammates to go deeper, and at the same time urged in the freshman channel: "While paying attention to safety, everyone should speed up the progress as much as possible!"
In fact, there is no need for him to say, everyone knows it in their hearts.
Since this is the lower mine, it is deep underground, so it is not as dry and clear as the upper level. On the top wall of the cold mine, water droplets drip from time to time. However, thanks to the special vents, the air is not too dirty. In the first 100 meters, the seven did not encounter any resistance. But as the trend of the mine gradually decreased, at the bend in front, there was an ambush figure of a half-dragon man.
To be precise, it was the torches on the wall behind them that betrayed them.
These half-dragons were hiding on the inside of the bend, as if they were preparing for a sneak attack. They thought they were well hidden, but they didn't notice the shadows from the torches projecting on the ground, allowing the students to discover the problem from afar. In the previous battle, Hu Siming already had a general understanding of the strength and skills of the cooperative students. Seeing this, he glanced at a mage behind him.
The latter nodded, and knowingly summoned a stone demon.
This skill comes from the high-level treasure he dropped by killing a rock golem. The summoned stone demon has good strength, and the amount of blood and armor are also okay, so it is a competent meat shield. In the previous defensive battle under the elevator, this stone demon played a good role. Now, the stone demon reappeared, walking forward with heavy steps.
A few half-dragon men thought that their plan had succeeded, listened to the heavy footsteps, grasped the amount of advance, and slaughtered them together.
The lowest level of these half-dragon people, when there are many people and no one to command, the fighting spirit is not high. But after being scattered and hiding here, and being chased and killed by humans, he has the courage to fight. Because they have seen the power of humans, when the three half-dragon people rushed out, they turned on the blessing of the bronze dragon Nozdorm, and the time accelerated to LV1!
Under the acceleration of the light blue time power, the strength of the half-dragon laborers is still quite strong. Attacked by three laborers at the same time, the stone demon's HP dropped by one-third on the spot. It was also at this time that they were surprised to find that their attack had not been effective at all.
Although the half-dragon laborers have limited intelligence, they are also smarter than ordinary demonic beasts, and they know that it is useless to kill summons, and they must attack the humans who control them.
However, with just the three of them, how could they possibly deal with seven students who were at least the same level as them?
As soon as the heroic charge opened, Hu Siming's figure instantly crossed a distance of more than ten meters and collided with the half-dragon laborer on the far left. To deal with these monsters, a layer of talent is enough. As soon as the flame manipulation started, Hu Siming's momentum soared, as if killing a god, causing more than 100 points of damage to the half-dragon man's hard labor. As an ordinary level monster of LV6, the blood volume of the half-dragon man's hard work is only 600 points at most, and he was knocked out by one-sixth of Hu Siming's output in one round.
This is still a case where there is no critical hit!
The other two half-dragonmen rushed up with a howl when they saw their companions being attacked. Hu Siming sat on the basic footwork of LV3, and with a simple sideways, he avoided their attacks, and reflexively made another sword. At this time, Liang Wu and the others were not to be outdone, and joined the attack one after another.
The three half-dragon miners, faced with twice their number of students, were killed in minutes.
After dealing with the three sneak attackers, Hu Siming and the others began to continue their search. From here, the resistance was fierce. Some half-dragons hid in the darkness of the mine tunnels to sneak attack, while others used discarded ore to build a simple defense line like a barricade, blocking the back and blocking the students. Later, they were gradually forced into the depths of the mines, and the barbarian slaves, who had no way out, joined the battle.
There was no suspense in the results.
In the halls of the lower mines, these gathered half-dragons were the most threatening wave. After that siege was broken up, the half-dragons who had broken up had in fact failed. Hiding in the depths of the narrow and winding mine tunnels to sneak up on the attack was only a futile attempt to delay time. However, the fork in the road that Hu Siming and his team attacked seems to be a mine that has been exhausted or is close to being abandoned. Along the way, the seven did not find any true red crystal mines.
Ten minutes later, after killing more than a dozen monsters along the way, Hu Siming led the team deep into the deepest part of the mine.
There was already the end of the road, and only two lizardfolk slaves covered in green scales were hiding. Behind them are abandoned ore piles and a minecart that has not yet had time to be transported. Inside the minecart, there were several fist-sized crystals that glowed a magnificent red.
The attention of the students was immediately attracted by these crystals.
After swarming up and killing the two normal-level LV5 lizardman slaves, Hu Siming walked up and picked up the crystals.
【True Red Crystal】
Quantity: 5 units*3.
Coarsely refined, New World-specific crystals contain unimaginable energy, and the Academy's uniform purchase price is 200 GM points/unit.
In the final exam of last semester, Hu Siming had already met once. But when I saw it again, I couldn't help but be fascinated by its beauty. It has a transparent and flawless quality, and the pure light it exudes seems to attract the soul. With three crystals the size of a fist, the total recovery price given by the academy is as high as 3,000 points!
How crazy is that!
Of course, it's not that easy to get your hands on them. Not to mention how to find the mining point that the half-dragon people painstakingly hid from the vast new world, even if they do, they must be able to crack the traps and defenses outside, and kill all the way to the deepest part. Most of the ordinary freshmen and sophomores are not that strong. Some powerful heroes can definitely do it, but with their vision, it is estimated that they can no longer look down on these things.
After all, people have higher pursuits.
Only the final exam task issued by the academy and the mobilization of dozens or hundreds of students in one go can break through such a mine.
After admiring it quietly for a few seconds, Hu Siming picked up three heavy crystals under the gaze of his companions. Under the laws of the Academy, three True Red Crystals automatically enter the public space and are tagged as quest items. After the academy completes the liquidation and recycling, 20% of the value will be equally distributed to the students.
There is no doubt that the academy took the lion's share and only gave the students a little soup. But this is also something that can't be helped, the previous intelligence collection, the goblin airship used, etc., as well as the resources consumed to teleport to the new world, are all from the academy, and it makes sense for them to take the lion's share.
To work under other people's hands, you must have this kind of awareness.
"Let's go. ”
After searching and making sure that there were no new discoveries, Hu Siming and his six teammates began to retreat. Just now, another seven-person team sent a message asking for help, which not only ran into trouble, but also lost one person again. is also the task of Mine B, Hu Siming must be duty-bound, and hurried over there. (To be continued.)
