Chapter 560: Goblin Lab in the Ruins
After carrying the ultimate move of the Dalaran Lost Soul, Hu Siming and his team were given a brief respite.
As Ji Honggang reunited with the four of them, restoring his original position and formation, the confusion that had previously arisen due to the "Lost Soul" move was completely quelled. Although there is still a lot of blood for the Dalaran Lost Soul, after understanding the effects of all the other party's skills, they already have a lot of confidence in their hearts.
However, few things will be smooth sailing.
Not long after the battle continued, the roaming corpses of the city-state appeared in the direction where the five people had come before. Hu Siming had encountered them when they entered the city, but they didn't kill them, but tried to lure them away. Unexpectedly, it appeared again at this critical juncture. It is not known whether they were attracted by the sound of battle, or if they followed the breath left behind by the five people.
Whatever the reason, these city-states can be a great threat to them.
Hu Siming calculated the distance and time, summoned an illusion, and let it take the initiative to meet it. The existence of illusions can help them buy them for a while.
The danger is delayed for the time being, but it is not lifted, and they must speed up the kill!
After interrupting the healing prayer again, Dalaran Lost Soul's ultimate cooled down. Maybe it was because it learned to be obedient, this time it didn't lose the ultimate move to Ji Honggang again, but to Hu Siming.
Double the duration for elite cadets!
This is a big trouble, Hu Siming himself moves fast, and his attack power is even more explosive against ordinary armor. The ten-second time control really caused big problems for his teammates. Fortunately, Ji Honggang, who is a pseudo-hero, still has a few good things. With a gesture of his hand, he grabbed a card from the storage slot.
A deep purple glow lit up.
The texture, style, and pattern of the card looked very similar to Hu Siming's familiar Dark Night series, but the energy and delicacy contained far exceeded the latter.
There's no doubt that this is a high-ranking card made from a random fusion of four regular Dark Night cards.
Dark Night Series - Stop!
Within 4 seconds, disarm a targeted enemy and become unable to perform a basic attack. However, the caster is also unable to attack the target.
No one can attack the other, so stop fighting!
Compared to normal cards, higher-tier cards can inflict full effects on heroes and have a shorter cooldown. Unlike ordinary cards, which often have a cooldown of two or three hundred seconds, the cooldown time of higher-level cards is often only half or even one-third of the former.
The crucial 4 seconds gave Shi Niu and Xu Guang time to adjust calmly.
Using the powerful and practical skill of Magnetic Grip, Shi Niu pulled the chasing Xu Guang to his side in time. When Hu Siming, who was in a lost soul state, caught up again, the effect of ten seconds was almost wasted. Although the formation of the entire squad was already in disarray, and the carrion corpses of the city-states that had been lured away by the illusion had once again come in, everyone involved in the battle felt that victory was not far off.
Yan Shaoou used the Ghost Knight Emblem to reset his skills and summon the water elemental, delaying the city-state's rotting corpse again.
Ji Honggang and Hu Siming began to fight hard, going all out to output the Dalaran Lost Soul, not giving it a chance to release the third ultimate. Relying on the former's fury for six seconds, coupled with Hu Siming's continuous critical hits and proverbs, the five of them finally rushed to kill this lv24 golden lord before the city-state's carrion corpse ascended to the high ground!
Unable to take a break, the five soldiers divided into two ways and got busy.
Hu Siming and the four of them shifted their targets non-stop and killed the carrion corpses that were already close at hand. Ji Honggang walked briskly to the flat land closest to the crystal mine and the forest, where he laid down the initial miniature town hall. In just a dozen seconds, a magnificent hall seven or eight meters high began to take shape.
The two farmers immediately began to collect crystal ore to accumulate resources and prepare for subsequent construction.
By the time the ruins of the temple had calmed down completely, it would be two minutes later. A newly trained third farmer also joined the mining sequence, allowing the base to start accumulating resources at an accelerated pace.
Although no additional buildings have yet to be built, the base is already on track.
It was also at this time that the five of them had free time to open the fall of the Lost Soul of Dalaran. Ji Honggang had probably killed a golden lord of the same level more than once, and he looked quite calm. Flick your finger on the fallen box, and skillfully open the lid of the box.
Four streamers flew out in a row!
was able to drop so many things, even Ji Honggang was a little surprised. He glanced sideways at the four of them and picked up the top drop.
It was a crafting scroll.
【Shadow Shrine Synthesis Book】
The method of making the shrine of zuò shadow is described.
The Urn of Shadows is a piece of hero equipment that needs to be crafted, and although it is only used for the early and mid-stage transitions, its attributes and utility are very good. Although it is easy to produce, it is also in high demand and the value is quite good. Ji Honggang can't use this thing himself, but his friends can use it. After thinking about it, he said hello to the four of them and took the scroll.
The second item is a bottle of intermediate healing potion.
【Intermediate Healing Elixir】
After use, it restores 300 HP and 200 mana for 10 seconds, and is interrupted when attacked.
Cooldown is 30 seconds.
Although it is a one-time consumable and cannot be used in battle, the restoration effect is still good. Ji Honggang had already taken a synthetic scroll, so naturally he would not fight with Hu Siming and them anymore, and Xu Guang took it into his hand.
The third item is a high-grade material that can be used to craft cosmetic weapons.
Whether it is Ji Honggang or Hu Siming, they already have rare-grade weapons, and there is no demand for this material. But Shi Niu and Yan Shaoou are different, they are all working hard for rare-level jewelry weapons. In the end, Yan Shaoou started with the materials.
As for the fourth prop, it is a piece of jade that is uncertain and exudes a mysterious atmosphere.
Its material is definitely not real jade, because it is very light in the hand, as if it has no substance. It is so called because it exudes a warm luster similar to jade, and it is constantly changing. Through the surface, the essence of the law fragments contained in this jade piece can be vaguely seen.
【Elemental Fragments】
Pick up bindings, cannot be dropped or traded.
It can effectively help elite students to build a heroic imprint and make it easier for their bodies to accept the inheritance. If you leave it for too long, you will gradually lose your characteristics.
Note: Students who are not admitted to graduate school should stay away!
"Elemental Fragments!"
Ji Honggang has dealt with it many times, and after only a glance, he recognized it, and he couldn't help sighing, as if he was reminded of the scene of his continuous failure in the graduate school entrance examination. After a while, he came back to his senses and saw Hu Siming stretching his neck to look at this, Ji Honggang couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, and threw the fragments to Hu Siming.
Although the level of the Soul Lost of Dalaran is only lv24, its strength is definitely not weak. Under normal circumstances, either it does not produce or it falls, and once it falls, it is often two or three pieces. However, the Heroic Cadet's attacks will destroy, or rather affect the drop of Elemental Civility Fragments. Therefore, after killing this golden lord, Hu Siming only got such a piece.
Even so, he was very satisfied, and there was a feeling that the trip was worthwhile.
After the rewards have been distributed here, the fifth farmer over there has also been trained. The battlefield gave a timely hint that this small open-pit crystal mine had been mined at maximum efficiency. Even if we continue to invest in farmers, the efficiency of mining will not increase much, and it will not be proportional to the resources and time invested in training new farmers.
Seeing this, Ji Honggang set up the sixth peasant assembly point next to the woods on the edge of the highland.
"Let me see what buildings can be built...... Lumberyards, farmsteads, towers, barracks, and special buildings require the main city to be upgraded.
Thinking of this, Ji Honggang had a little embarrassment on his face.
After a little delay in the early stage, what they have to do now is to race against time to train soldiers and build defense towers. However, the Sanctuary allows students to be resurrected once for free, and it is also a must-have building. Otherwise, if there is a temporary construction after the death of the battle, it is very likely that it will not be able to catch up.
But the problem is that upgrading the main city consumes a lot of resources!
The two different emphases made Ji Honggang embarrassed, and Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou also had different opinions. After a few quick arguments, the five finally decided to build a simple defensive structure first, at least to ensure that there were defense towers on the three highlands, and then jump to the main city and the sanctuary. After the completion of such a special building, the development route will be changed back to garrison.
It's a compromised balance.
With the rapid accumulation of resources, the seventh and eighth farmers have also been trained to accelerate the extraction of timber resources.
The development of the base is accelerating, but various problems are also coming one after another. The most direct point is that the mining of pseudo and true red crystal mines has caused the leakage of crystal ore breath, constantly attracting nearby demonic beasts to rush here. Although it did not form an effective scale and threat, the successive attacks still brought them a lot of pressure.
On the other hand, timber resources are also facing a severe shortage of timber resources.
Near their base, the last remaining forest is on the edge of the highlands, far from the town hall. Whether it's a tower, a farm, or anything else, you need a lot of wood. Once the barracks were built, wood was also needed to train junior Treant soldiers. This demand in all aspects has created a huge shortage of wood.
Even if the lumber yard is completed, it will only alleviate the situation, and it will not solve the root cause of the lack of resources.
The imbalance of resources will undoubtedly slow down the progress of the Radiant team. Although Hu Siming looked very anxious, they didn't have a good solution. The only good news, though, is that so far, they haven't seen any signs of Dire trainees.
"Hey, there's a special functional building!"
Shi Niu, who had been distracted from the Clown Messenger during the battle, reminded them with some surprise. From the perspective provided by the Flying Messenger of the Joker, the building, which resembles a goblin room, is located in the middle of a large expanse of burnt ruins, in a corner of the city-state.
Ji Honggang had previously deduced that there might be something available in this city-state. At this moment, it was verified by the messenger who happened to fly over to explore the path, and I couldn't help but care.
