Chapter 257: Tricky Enemy
It was getting dark.
It's been five or six hours since the rookie confrontation began. Although the temperature in the valley of fire was still very hot, without the scorching sun in the sky, the students finally felt cooler. Those students who have not gained anything so far and have zero points can calm down a little.
If you have a high score now, it doesn't mean that you will be able to stand in the end.
The rookies who participated in the war still have one night and half a day to work hard. Until the final conclusion is reached, no one dares to say the result. So, after a short period of urgency, some of the good-witted guys began to sober up. When you are so far behind, it's useless to be anxious, it's better to be patient and save yourself first. Survive to the end and wait for the opportunity to kill the top ranked, so that you can compete for the spot of challenging the Flame Lizard.
Hu Siming also thought about this early, and after finding that it was difficult to find a lone enemy, he began to move closer to the volcano in the middle of the valley.
The final battle will inevitably break out there.
Regardless of the outcome, let's go over and take a spot.
In the Valley of Fire at night, the danger is much higher than during the day. Not long after he got closer to the center, he was attacked by a three-headed lava dog. This lion-sized monster is covered in flames, and its three huge heads exude a greedy and tyrannical aura that will tear any creature that comes close to it.
Elite with a level of up to lv13!
The strength of this three-headed dog is already comparable to the gloomy half-dragon skeleton in the real world. Hu Siming didn't dare to alarm it, and used the shadow cloak to enter the shadow body on the spot. Although the residual breath caused the elite monster to roar and uneasy, after a few moments of wandering around, it still disdainfully spewed a wisp of fire from its nostrils and left with its head held high.
There are many more targets in the valley for it to hunt.
The three-headed dog of lava brought great pressure to Hu Siming, and he did not dare to make any moves in his stealth state. It wasn't until he confirmed that the guy was away that he resumed his movements and continued to head in the direction of the center.
Along the way, there were several more similar encounters.
Ordinary monsters, unless they have some special skills, can rarely see through stealth. Hu Siming's shadow cloak is also a high-grade treasure, which has helped him avoid a lot of trouble. If he has teammates, he may also have to be distracted to take care of others. Only himself, with his shadow cloak, walked through the night with ease.
If the entire volcanic valley is regarded as a city, then the volcanic area in the center of the valley is equivalent to the city center, the area near the foot of the volcano is regarded as the first ring, and the basin and forest extending beyond it are regarded as the second ring, and Hu Siming has been active in the area outside the second ring road before. As night wore on, he traversed five or six kilometers in the direction of the center, gradually entering the ring at the foot of the volcano.
This is already the core area of the entire volcanic valley, and a few miles further inside, you will find the road to the crater.
Before the situation is clear, no one dares to rush up, it will only become the target of public criticism, and it will be besieged by the masters of the two campuses. Only when the top three players in the battlefield are determined and access to the crater to challenge the Flame Lizard is opened, will the winner be eligible to receive the most generous gifts.
But not yet.
Many people can see this, so after surviving the first round of elimination, most of them chose to lurk at the foot of the mountain and wait for their chance. Hu Siming is sure that there are at least a dozen students hidden in the entire First Ring District, or even more. If you are timid, find a place to hide and wait for the shape to be clear. Those who are bold or rely on may dare to take the initiative to attack at night and look for targets.
This night, there will be no peace.
After entering this dangerous area, Hu Siming was also unsure whether he was being targeted. He entered a plantain grove and became invisible in a place where no one else could see. In this way, even if someone really chases him, he will lose his trace, and maybe Hu Siming can block the possible tracker.
However, there was no gain.
Hu Siming waited patiently for a quarter of an hour, and there was nothing unusual at all. It's a bit of a disappointment, but it's a good thing that no one notices you. With two points in hand, he was not the one who needed to be in a hurry the most, and decided to brake with static. Picked a flaming plantain with a lush crown nearby, climbed up and equipped the Shadow Cloak, and entered invisibility in the tree.
Hiding in such a tree at night is difficult to detect even if there is no stealth. Now double insurance is even more foolproof.
He can even take a nap with peace of mind.
Throughout the first half of the night, the valley was generally calm. Of course, this calm refers to the shape of the shì among the students, but the valley itself is not peaceful at all. Many demonic beasts that have never appeared during the day hunt around at night, and there are even fire elements in the valley, wandering in groups. The roars of the demonic beasts one after another made the students always vigilant and a little worried.
Even under Hu Siming's tree, there were several groups of demonic beasts passing by.
However, no one could find him.
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, an unlucky Radiant student was killed by a roaming demonic beast. For him, it was undoubtedly a miserable and humiliating thing, but it was a good thing for the overall situation of the entire Tianhui. This means that Dire will be able to earn one less point.
In addition, the students of the two campuses have not changed, and the points in the overall list seem to be locked, and they have not changed for several hours.
This situation, after the beginning of the second half of the night, gradually changed.
Not every student can calm down, and once someone takes the initiative, the fragile calm of the entire valley will be stirred. Seeking enemies, sneak attacks, fishing in troubled waters, coupled with the attention of demonic beasts caused by the fight, quickly intensified the valley of fire at night. Hu Siming, who had rested comfortably for the first half of the night, seemed to feel the chaos in the valley, jumped down from the tree full of energy, and joined the action.
Originally, it was not too late to continue to wait and see before entering. The reason why Hu Siming started was because just a kilometer away from where he was hiding, someone started fighting.
If it weren't for the high enough position he chose, and his vision was quite wide, he would definitely not be able to see the occasional skill glow in the distance.
But now that he has found out, this kind of good thing that is likely to be picked up cheaply, he will not miss it.
After deftly avoiding a wandering ash poison lizard, Hu Siming quietly approached the battlefield. It's an empty, dry river that may have flowed through it a long time ago, but it is not known which eruption was filled with cooled magma. With the help of the dim glimmer of the sky, Hu Siming could clearly see the two students who were fighting fiercely. Since it took a little time on the way here, the shape of the battle was already very obvious at this moment.
The guy with the Dire Campus badge on his chest has the absolute upper hand.
The Radiant student who fought him was a level 5 student. Hu Siming had a slight impression of him, and seemed to be one of the second batch of nine people when the academy was recruited. In terms of strength, the two high-level treasures and four low-level treasures on the body are also fully equipped, and they also have advanced skills, which is quite good. It's a pity that he fell to the brink of defeat, not because he was weak, but because the enemy was too strong.
He was suppressed by a man of about thirty years of age, with a stubble body and slightly thin lips, and an indescribable fanaticism on his face during the battle. He was holding a scimitar in his hand, similar in size to Su Xishui's Iron Dome Scimitar, but with a more obvious arc. From the quaint shape and the flickering cold light, it can be seen that it must be a sophisticated jewelry weapon.
If that's all it is, it's nothing, the point is, he's got four pieces of jewelry on his body!
The purple boots with a cloud-like pattern on their feet faintly exuded a magical light, which was obviously not ordinary. The white jade belt tied around the waist was simply tied with a martial knot hanging around the waist. On his wrists, he wears a pair of bracers made of red copper, which are also excellent jewelry. Not to mention how many high-grade treasures he has, just four pieces of jewelry, and three pieces of fine grade, are enough to make Hu Siming, who is secretly peeping, gasp.
This guy is so strong!
When he saw his own Gui Yu, he made a move, and the terrifying explosive power of sword qi slash + angry slash, coupled with the talent of chance to bounce damage, had already made Hu Siming remember it. The Dire student in front of him, in terms of equipment alone, seemed to be more luxurious than himself and Gui Yushi. Moreover, he is also the one who opened up his talent.
This can be seen from the special effects attached to the attack.
The arc-shaped scimitar, with each swing, caused the magic power of the Radiant students who were trying their best to resist fluctuate violently, and then burned. The sizzling sound and the damage of mana burning feedback made Hu Siming subconsciously think of the anti-mage among the heroes. If that's the case, there may be some high-level treasures or the effects of advanced skills. But Hu Siming saw it clearly, while this person added special effects to the attack, he could also steal some additional mana and bless it on his weapon to further increase the attack power!
This is simply impossible for ordinary high-grade treasures to do.
The only thing Hu Siming could think of was a high talent with dual abilities!
His own fire manipulation has two major effects: basic molten armor and a unique critical hit. Attacking an enemy with Molten Armor on it has a 16% chance to trigger 2x Critical Damage. The talent of the person in front of him is estimated to be no less than his own, and it is also the basic mana burning, plus the only magic stealing amplification!
Hu Siming has no way of knowing what the name is, but the approximate attributes of the talent should be the same as he guessed.
The Radiant student who fought against this terrible opponent would definitely have the ability to fight, after all, it was a double skill + six treasures. Even if you can't beat it, you can always do it by fighting half of the opponent's blood. However, this terrible guy turned on his talent and burned his blue one by one, and by the way, he amplified himself, which made the battle evolve to the current situation.
Hu Siming came a little late.
Before he could decide whether or not to intervene, the battle had already entered the endgame. The lank master of the slender Dire triggers a passive stun with a heavy blow, eventually killing the enemy.
Watching his target disappear into countless points of light and teleport back to the Radiant Graveyard to resurrect, his face was filled with frenzy and satisfaction.
It seemed that the bloodthirsty factor in his body was satisfied, and the man opened his arms in the night sky with some intoxication. After a moment, he licked the corners of his mouth and turned to look at where Hu Siming was hiding
