Two hours later, the team entered the skinning jungle.

Compared to the deep-rooted spider jungle, the skinning jungle looks significantly more spacious and comfortable.

Instead of the old vines and trees, which were intertwined, there was a sparse forest, as tall as coconut trees, with much larger gaps between the trees, fewer leaves, and a relatively solid ground - the soldiers finally did not have to cut down and pave the road.

Perhaps due to the sparse woods, the light of the barked jungle is significantly higher. From the spider jungle to the skinning jungle, it is like walking from night to day, from the world of horror movies to the world of science fiction films, which gives people a much more comfortable feeling.

Soon after entering the skinning jungle, Shen Yi ordered everyone to rest on the spot, and sent people to explore the surrounding area as soon as possible.

The Skinning Jungle is no more ferocious and powerful than the Spider Jungle, and if it is a further encounter, there is a high chance of casualties, especially now that there are a large number of summoned soldiers, the casualties may be further exacerbated.

You must know that these soldiers can exert great power when they are prepared, but when they are unprepared, they can easily be slaughtered quickly by those fierce and cruel monsters.

Things went surprisingly well.

It only took half an hour for the adventurers who had gone out to explore to report that they had discovered a monster colony.

"They are located near a river beach fifty miles from here, and the monsters are mainly Winged Nightmares, Soul Slayers, Bush Demons, and a large number of undead creatures......"

The speaker was a rather young adventurous man with long blond hair and a fairly handsome appearance, which, if placed on Earth, should attract a group of beautiful students.

As he spoke, the young man drew a rough topographical map on the ground, and although he drew it simply, he showed the topography and distribution of the monster colony with only a few brushstrokes, showing some professional standards.

"It's a good drawing. Shen Yi said with a smile.

"I used to be a draftsman, but I didn't expect to be a scout now. The young man laughed.

"Tell me about the monster. ”

The young man continued: "Winged Nightmare, a flying monster with 180 HP, 20 ATK, and 8 DEFENSE, the number of which is about four hundred. High-level dwarf soul killers, with 240 vitality, 22 attack power, and 10 defense, the number is about 500, but every twenty-five are equipped with a soul mage who can resurrect them. There are about fifty Bush Demons, with 400 HP, 25 Attack, 23 Defense, and finally, a large number of Skeleton Mages, Strong Zombies, and so on. Because there were so many of them, I didn't dare to get closer, but I just looked at them from a distance, and judging from their density and floor space, there were about two thousand of them. In addition, in the outermost part alone, I saw at least four boss-level monsters, and one of them almost spotted me. ”

"The lineup is not small. Shen Yizongtang and Ambella all gasped.

In the first two difficult missions, all the little monsters were almost out of the consideration of adventurers, but this time the situation was very different. If it were to be attacked head-on, the two thousand monster armies alone would be enough to overwhelm all 37 adventurers. Compared to such an army of monsters, a Duriel is nothing.

"The task of 2,000 points is really not simple. Zong Tang muttered: "I originally thought that since the Hell Demon Kings like Andariel and Duriel were already the top existences in hell, it would be a little unreasonable for some of them to be stronger than them in the future." Now it seems that the city is a perfect solution to this problem...... Replace quality with quantity. ”

Shen Yi smiled: "This is not a game world after all, and the basic logic cannot be contradicted." If the strength of the demon general's demon soldiers is stronger than the demon king, it is indeed unreasonable. ”

In the game, you can do contradictory things that the later you go, the stronger the mobs become, and even more than the early difficulty boss, but Bloody City will not do this anyway.

From this point of view, unless it is to meet the evil king Azmodan, the fallen angel Izur, or the three demon gods, the personal strength of all monsters cannot be stronger than the three demon kings such as Andariel Duriel, and the only thing that really increases the difficulty of the task is the number of monsters and the way of fighting.

"Good job. After learning the specific situation, Shen Yi praised the young man.

This young man is a member of the Wind Forest team, and if he can get a word of praise from Shen Yi, Zong Tang also feels that there is light on his face.

But now comes the question of how to deal with this dire situation.

After thinking for a while, Shen Yi said: "Now it is basically certain that the main difficulty of the Kurast Seaport mission lies in the monster corps, and the form of battle has changed from a peak duel to a block of hundreds. Considering that there are more difficult tasks ahead, there may be a situation where one block a thousand will also occur, what do you two think about this situation?"

Ambella said indifferently: "Give up if it's too difficult, the three difficulties are actually optional tasks to some extent, and we don't need to stumble on those that we can't deal with." ”

Zong Tang sneered: "Your Nanhai team has completely broken away from the line of life and death, of course you don't have to care." ”

When people make decisions, they can't escape the consideration of their own interests. Due to the small number of the South China Sea team, Ambella deliberately distributed the points obtained by each person before, so all the members of the team have been removed from the death list, although the income is still very low, but at least there is no risk of obliteration.

So for Ambella, it makes no sense to take the risk of storming the monster legions. Anyway, the Skinning Jungle mission is the third mission, and there are two more missions before that, and if you win it, you can also supplement the benefits for the South China Sea team.

Shen Yi and Zong Tang didn't think so, Wen Rou hadn't gotten off the death list yet, and there were also two members of the Wind Forest Team who hadn't reached the 450 point standard. For them, winning at least one of the three difficulty tasks has become a must.

There are two reasons why Shen Yi wants to hide the existence of the spider cave and start from the third mission. One of them is to lead many people on an early adventure before they are off the death list.

Otherwise, if most people are off the death list, the courage to fight will inevitably be weakened, and the courage to challenge the limit will be relatively weakened. Once they find that the difficulty of the task is far beyond the strength of everyone's current strength, the alliance will collapse without a fight-the bloody city is not without people who live without gangsters, and there are also many people who can take it when they see it.

Zong Tang's words were very polite, Ambella's face couldn't help but change, but Shen Yi dissuaded him in time: "If there is something to say, Ambella's words are not unreasonable." However, Ambella, I would like to remind you that the Skinning Jungle is a 2,000-point quest, which means that the difficulty is essentially within the reach of adventurers in the normal zone. It's like a watershed, clearly showing us the difference between the two difficulty areas. If we miss this task, we may lose our best chance to learn about the three difficulties. Only after this task has been accomplished can we know whether we should continue to move forward or not. ”

"And what are your plans?"

Shen Yi smiled, he knew that when Ambera asked him this, he had actually chosen to respect his opinion.

He replied: "Since we are facing an army and we are on the battlefield, we might as well listen to the opinions of professionals first." Frost!"

Frost strode to Shen Yi's side and saluted him.

Shen Yi told him the information about the monsters, and then said, "I need a specific plan to defeat them, can you give it to me?"

"Of course, sir. ”

As a professional soldier, it only took Frost a few minutes to understand everything.

He was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but first asked Shen Yi to input all the information into his PDA, and then ordered Zeus to simulate them and scan the nearby terrain at the same time.

Obviously, Frost is going to use the computer to make a virtual sand table for war deduction.

Both Ambella and Zong Tang had to admire this: why didn't they think of it before?

"What do you need? sir. Frost asked Shen Yi while analyzing and evaluating the strength of the monster through the computer.

"It's better if none of them die. ”

"That would reduce operational efficiency, and we need more robust fortifications and war strategies. ”

"Is it okay in five days?"

"If only it could give me better terrain. ”

Shen Yi immediately shouted: "Gentle, find a commanding height, and see what kind of terrain is nearby." ”

With a gentle flick of the whip, he grabbed the branch of the tallest tree in the distance, and the man flew up with it, and borrowed the force in the middle of the trunk and went straight up to the treetops, and landed on a slender branch, and as the branches swayed up and down, her dress fluttered, and she felt like a fairy.

Someone was moved by it and said with a wicked smile: "This girl is really in good shape, it's good to have a chance to get on her." ”

With a gentle movement of her toes, a branch suddenly broke and flew out, hitting the man's head.

The man didn't expect to be able to hear it so far away, and he was startled, and someone next to him already laughed: "Man, for the sake of your health, don't mess with them." ”

"Wow! what's the big deal. The man smirked.

But when it comes to provoking, he really doesn't have that guts.

Looking carefully into the distance with a telescope, for a while, he gently pointed into the distance and shouted, "There is a hillside twenty miles away on the north side. ”

"The slope is high, the slope, the surrounding terrain ......," Frost kept asking, and Gentle replied one by one.

After a few moments, Frost said, "I think it would be a more suitable battlefield, but I still need to go there and see it." ”

Shen Yi Zongtang and the other three shouted at the same time: "Get up all and go north!"

―――――――――――――

It is a small hill, with a slope of only about 150 meters, and the slope is gentle, and there is no danger to defend around.

However, there is a natural platform in the middle of the slope, and there is a steep descent down from the platform, with a slope of about 40 degrees. If you occupy this place, you can get a certain geographical advantage, provided that someone needs to transform this place first.

Frost chose this platform as the main battlefield, not only because it is the most advantageous location, but more importantly, there is a path behind the platform that leads directly to the spider jungle. Fortunately, due to Shen Yi's insistence, all the roads from the Kurast seaport to the skinning jungle have been opened, and everyone has a chance to escape in the case of unfavorable fighting.

With a plan for defeat, you can prepare for victory with all your might.

To this end, Frost proposed various targeted measures according to the characteristics of the monsters, and his methods were mainly traditional methods such as building fortifications and creating traps.

Shen Yi reminded Frost that they were not facing a group of human soldiers, but monsters with various special abilities. Each of these monsters can easily kill dozens or even hundreds of ordinary soldiers in terms of strength.

Frost replied, "If you think of the Bush Devil as a tank, the Flying Monster as an airplane, and the Dwarves and Undead as a large number of elite field infantry, you will realize that the situation is not much different from the Arnhem Bridge...... The form of war may change, but the essence remains the same. ”

Shen Yi smiled: "You're right, Frost." One thing that's different is that we're stronger than we were back then. ”

"So we're going to get the win you need. ”

"Let's get started. Shen Yi said leisurely.

Under the command of Shen Yi and Frost, all the adventurers and soldiers began to work together to clean up the perimeter, build defensive facilities, and arrange a perimeter cordon.

As professional soldiers, the Airborne Forces are very comfortable doing this.

Some soldiers were responsible for cutting down trees to build camps, some were responsible for setting up guard posts around the perimeter, others were building fortifications, and others were lighting fires for cooking. Although there are many of them, they are all orderly, busy but not chaotic.

In contrast, the adventurers, who only had more than thirty people, were in a mess.

If you don't look at strength, just look at order, most of you will treat adventurers as rookies and soldiers as elites.

It is no wonder that adventurers have experienced various dangers, but these dangers are more like street fights in nature, whoever has more strength, who is faster, and who dares to play with their lives will win.

In real group combat, few of the many adventurers have experienced it, and even if there are occasional ones, they are gradually eliminated in the later strengthening process.

When they set foot on the land of the three-difficulty area, the content of this kind of group combat was put back on the agenda, but no one expected.

Maybe you can't even think of a bloody city - in the design of the city, the battle in the three difficulty areas should be a battle of quality versus quantity.

If measured by movies, then the urban design is a martial arts film in which "adventurers fight with swords, go into danger alone, take the head of the enemy in a million troops, and come and go freely".

However, under Shen Yi's practice of borrowing chickens to lay eggs, summoning wantonly, arranging the battlefield, and making preparations in advance, this martial arts film has been rewritten into a war film of "two armies facing each other, commanding if determined, consolidating oneself against danger, and defending against each other".

On the premise of having both quality and quantity, what Shen Yi needs to consider is not whether he can win, but at what cost he can win.
