414.Chapter 414
The Dire Darktide is a catastrophe that has swept through the New World.
Although it has Dire in its name, it is not made by the Dire campus. On the contrary, since they occupy the northwest corner of the New World continent, the monsters usually have frost attributes, and the threat and losses brought by the Dire Dark Tide are even greater than those on the Radiant side. In any case, this is an extremely difficult and dangerous war.
In order to resist such a threat, the academy naturally met the requirements of the students leniently. Except for students who have been in the school for more than one year, there are no other strict restrictions, such as the freedom to form teams. Even, in order to better exert combat power and reduce losses due to improper coordination, the academy encourages students to match their own teams.
Hu Siming also knew the importance of a reliable team, so he took this opportunity to send an invitation to Su Xishui.
In that chat a few days ago, Hu Siming asked tentatively, but it was not finalized. He thought that there should be no problem, but who would have thought that Yi Cheng and the two friends in the club would send out a formal invitation after him. Because the relationship was very good, Su Xishui was embarrassed to refuse, so he could only say sorry to Hu Siming.
"Yi Cheng's speed is not slow......"
Hu Siming frowned, remembering the blonde-haired tsundere lady. However, he also understands Su Xishui's difficulties, and it seems that he can only wait for the future to cooperate.
For the next few hours, the two continued to sweep along the intended area. Su Xishui thought about it and also helped out. When it was almost dark, after confirming that the task had been completed, Yan Shaoou couldn't bear it anymore and proposed to return.
The next thing is logical.
After returning to the academy, the two of them submitted the task as soon as possible and got a bottle of intermediate experience potion. Hu Siming had nothing to hesitate about, and used it directly. Because of the bottleneck of the grade, Yan Shaoou could only put it on hold for the time being, and at the same time apply to the academy for elite test preparation. Since he had already prepared in advance, he didn't even hesitate to prepare for the test overnight.
Due to the special event of the Dire Darktide, there is more than one student who will launch the elite test in one or two days. When Yan Shaoou's application was approved, he found that there were more than 100 queues. Fortunately, there are many standing elite test battlefields in the academy, and if you can't arrange them, you can adjust them temporarily.
Hu Siming is still confident in Yan Shaoou's strength. Maybe he didn't make it to the top handful, but he definitely had the first-class strength among the students of the same level. As long as nothing else, he will definitely be able to pass the guò elite test, and the only suspense is the first few rounds. With the only chance before Dire Darktide, it wouldn't be fun if Yan Shaoou made it to the third round of the elite test and accidentally lost it.
At this time, Hu Siming could only bless his friends in his heart.
While he was patiently waiting, he took the opportunity to do another thing, which was to continue to invite his teammates. The powerful beauty senior sister who was originally scheduled is now gone, but fortunately, he communicated with Xu Guang in advance. If there are no accidents, there will always be one or two teammates.
I just don't know, Xu Guang, who is also impacting the threshold of the elite, has broken through that bottleneck?
However, the result of initiating a communication application surprised him a little - the other party was in the middle of the battlefield and temporarily closed the communication channel.
At this time, there is only one reason why it is neither a unified examination nor a compulsory course, and it can still be on the battlefield of the academy. Hu Siming was stunned and couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect it to be a coincidence. Xu Guang's elite test was arranged on the same day and in the same time period as Yan Shaoou.
It seems that we have to wait patiently for the results.
Counting up, the time for the elite test is not very long. Even the most cumbersome mode is an hour or two at most. Not long after, when Hu Siming saw that Yan Shaoou was full of ambition and high spirits when he returned, he knew the result. After inquiring about it, he learned that Yan Shaoou also got an elite ability, which has a chance to speed up the CD time of the skill by 5% when casting.
Speeding up skill cooldowns is undoubtedly a very useful legal ability. Although the probability of triggering is average, and the acceleration is not high, it is still a very practical choice considering that there are opportunities for further enhancement in the future.
In addition, Yan Shaoou's third skill was also directly released.
In order to redeem the third skill that only huàn elites have, Yan Shaoou has also been preparing for it from a long time. Although he spent a lot of money on the potion reserve before, Hu Siming still had money to spare here, so he lent him some for the time being, and made up enough 2,000 general points. A mage with an elite template and complete skills suddenly made a qualitative leap in strength compared to before.
Only ten minutes later, there was good news from Xu Guang's side.
Several acquaintances have stepped into the elite level, which makes Hu Siming very excited. The strength of teammates directly means that the power of your own group is stronger. However, on a certain Cheng dù, Hu Siming also felt a kind of pressure. A day ago, as an elite lv2, his teammates were still hovering at the ordinary level, and he was full of superiority. In the blink of an eye, they were only one level away from themselves.
Although Hu Siming knew in his heart that he was about to be elite lv3, and Yan Shaoou had just reached lv1, and they were actually nearly two levels behind, at least in the past few days, there was a sense of urgency in his heart.
The far-reaching Dire Darktide has arrived under such circumstances.
The 14th of November!
With only one day left until Dire Darktide, the Academy's Radiant Teleportation Array was operating at its highest speed. Hu Siming's temporary team has already reported, and the academy has also reacted very quickly, arranging defensive duties according to combat strength as soon as possible. On weekdays, the teleportation sequences that need to be applied for one day in advance are also arranged directly for them.
The Academy's warplanes are running steadily with ultra-high efficiency.
As in the past, close to the front line of the control area, the area with frequent Warcraft activities, and some key nodes, there are juniors responsible for guarding. Sophomores like Hu Siming and them, and even some repeaters of the freshman year, were arranged in the hinterland of the college's control area. It is relatively safe here, and the situation of the nearby monsters has been basically figured out, and there will be no tragedy of large-scale beast tides destroying miè in pieces.
"There is still 1 hour before the teleportation sequence, please arrive on time, otherwise you will be severely punished by the academy!"
Receiving the reminder from the college, Hu Siming naturally prepared early. By his side, a squad of four people has been gathered. Because to meet the Dire Tide, those who can be added are naturally reliable people. In addition to Hu Siming, the other three are Yan Shaoou, Xu Guang and Shi Niu.
The relationship with Xu Guang began with the confrontation of freshman rookies. Although I haven't known Shi Niu for a long time, this slightly chubby cold-faced man is a Libra person, and Xu Guang has an excellent relationship with Shi Niu. There are such two factors, and it is reasonable for Shi Niu to join.
What's more, this guy who is habitually cold-faced is very strong.
Like Xu Guang, Shi Niu is also an elite person, and his speed is even faster than Xu Guang. In this way, the small team led by Hu Siming is four all-elites.
Xu Guangke has participated in the rookie confrontation and is a first-class student, and because he has already had reserves, he has already redeemed the third skill. Coupled with what he said before, if you awaken your talent, your strength will inevitably increase by leaps and bounds. As for Shi Niu, when he was exploring the ruins in the New World before, Hu Siming had an understanding of his abilities. Now that he has stepped into the elite level, it is said that he borrowed 600 universal points from the senior of Libra, and also exchanged the third skill.
Among the four students, two have awakened talents, and the other two are also elite seniors with skills and equipment. Such a team is definitely the best among the sophomores.
After paying attention to each other and noticing each other's progress and current situation, Yan Shaoou, Xu Guang, and Shi Niu's eyes also lit up, and there was more strong confidence on their faces.
"It's your turn!"
The senior of the Discipline Division glanced at the four of them, and his gaze stopped on the Libra Society badge for a second, catching them up with the Radiance Teleportation Array. It wasn't until hundreds of students were mixed and the teleportation array was crowded that the academy stopped manning and started teleportation.
The four-color symbols of the sun, moon, stars, and time slowly rotated, inspiring pillars of light that penetrated the heavens and the earth.
The canopy of heaven shook again.
After traveling to the New World many times, I was not so surprised by the vastness of the Radiance Teleportation Array. After waiting for more than ten seconds in a solemn and oppressive atmosphere, the teleportation array slowly stopped, and the students stepped on the ground with their feet.
The base camp of the new world!
On weekdays, it gives the impression of a lively fortress and a city. But it was during the Dire Dark Tide that Hu Siming realized that his previous impressions were nothing at all. The current base camp has become a sea of people. Countless students rushed one after another, either going back and forth to set up defenses, or pouring out of the radiant teleportation array, passing through the nearby ordinary teleportation arrays and being shunted to the major main cities and subordinate towns. God knows how many thousands of people were present here at this moment.
However, Hu Siming didn't have time to sigh at all, and then they were urged by the academy to step on the ordinary teleportation array, without stopping all the way, and finally arrived at the sand mallet camp under Stormwind City.
The Sandhammer Camp is located on the southwest side of Stormwind City, because it is located on the direct route between Stormwind City and the base camp, and is located in the hinterland of the area actually controlled by the Academy. Since there are two places nearby that are more suitable for freshmen or sophomores to hunt, there are still a lot of students who come here on weekdays, but this does not mean that the scale of the sand mallet camp will be very large. In fact, it was a very small camp with a radius of only a hundred paces - the academy was not even willing to build a teleportation array here.
Hu Siming's team arrived at the town where the sand mallet camp belonged, and flew in a goblin airship at the flight point.
The absence of a teleportation array meant that if something went wrong with the Dire Darktide, the academy would not be able to support it immediately through the teleportation array. Naturally, when they came to this small camp in person and found out the situation, every assigned student had a bad look on their faces.
However, there is only one day left for them!
