409.Chapter 409: Dire Darktide

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed since Hu Siming got the gold hand.

Because the teaching arrangements are different in different school years, the new students in this school year have one less compulsory course than in previous years, and their strength will definitely be affected. In order to balance, the academy made up another class at the end of October, and even Hu Siming's sophomore year was wiped out.

Since he had already considered about it and had roughly made up his mind, Hu Siming still chose the inheritance of the Ash Spirit this time. It's just that this time there are two heroes in the opponent's lineup, the Heavenly Fury Mage and the Doomsday Messenger, who are very restrained by him. The 6 seconds of silence of a single body of the former, and the perverted ultimate move of the latter, all made the ash spirit bitter and unspeakable. After a fierce battle, although he still won in the end, Hu Siming's own record was not good, he died six times, and he couldn't get the soul stone.

From enrollment to now, Hu Siming seems to have died so many times for the first time. After the compulsory course was over, the death punishment given by the academy made him drink a good pot, and it took him half a day to recover.

In contrast, although Yan Shaoou has also died many times, he is in a very good mood.

The first is that he won the compulsory course, and a bottle of potion with 150 health points was opened in the treasure chest, and the second is that Cai Feng promised him before to help synthesize a fine-grade jewelry robe, and now it is finally in place. After the other party gathered the two main materials, Yan Shaoou came up with 350 universal points and synthesized this [Orginney Guardian Robes]

【Auginny Guardian Robes】

Fine-grade jewelry, armor, and parts.

+1 Intelligence.

Proof of Skill Protection: Cast on a target, transferring 20% of the actual damage taken by the opponent to themselves. Lasts 7 seconds, has a cooldown of 35 seconds, and costs 40 mana.

Note: This is proof of guardianship!

The value of this fine jewelry is beyond doubt. Although the intelligence +1 point is very weak, at best, it is equal to the most garbage low-level treasure, but the accompanying skill is a divine skill. After releasing it, it directly takes 20% damage for the opponent, which is equivalent to increasing the target's HP by one-fifth. If Hu Siming is set on fire by the enemy in the future, such a proof of protection will immediately increase his health by more than 100 HP, and his life can be saved at a critical moment.

What's more, the cooldown time of this Guardian Token is not long, it is only 5 seconds longer than ordinary skills, and the consumption of mana is not much. In a battle, it is almost certain that it can be released twice, or even three times.

Yan Shaoou also likes this gorgeous ornament robe, and he equipped it as soon as he got it.

However, there were too many things to deal with in the academy, and Yan Shaoou was only happy for two days, and his attention was diverted from this matter. Entering November, after paying twice as many deductions as freshmen, sophomores tensed their nerves and began to prepare for the big event in two weeks.

Not only the sophomores, but also the freshmen and juniors are all extremely serious and go all out.

There are only freshmen who don't understand anything, and they are still ignorant and waiting for the November compulsory course that is destined not to come. However, this matter will not be hidden for long, and soon they will receive a message from the teaching assistants - hunting mission!

That's right, at this time of last school year, Hu Siming and the others had experienced the same thing: the Radiant Teleportation Array was overclocked, sending students to the New World in a steady stream. Due to frequent cross-border teleportation, a large number of monsters from the new world were swept up and thrown into the illusory space where the academy was, and the new students had to venture outside the academy to clean up these excessive magical beasts, which would also be their first contact with the illusory space outside the academy.

This series caused the whole college to shake, the freshman to the junior year to turn for it, the annual event, is the Dire Darktide!

Hu Siming, who has been to the New World many times, knows very well that there are two silver moons hanging in the night sky of the New World, one large and one small. Under normal circumstances, no matter whether the moon is full or bad, there will always be at least one silver moon illuminating the earth. But only in the middle of the November month, two silver moons disappeared from the sky at the same time. That night, the land would be darkened, and the restless monsters would go berserk, pouring out from all corners of the New World, even the forbidden lands, frantically attacking every living creature they saw.

In the first two years when the academy had established itself in the New World, it suffered a great loss due to the lack of clarity about this characteristic and the lack of adequate preparation. It was not until the three main cities were established one after another that the college gradually had a complete set of coping plans and systems. Rao is like this, every time the Dire Darktide occurs, the academy that is like a great enemy will still suffer great losses.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the natives of the New World were not spared from this catastrophe either.

Those crazy monsters don't care about the students or the dragonman tribe, they will bite whoever they catch. Even, because the natives occupy a huge part of the territory of the New World, they are under more pressure than the academy on this day of the nightmare of the Chinese New Year's Eve. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the students to expand their sphere of influence in the New World.

At this time last year, since they were still freshmen, Hu Siming and the others only needed to take the hunting task and go outside the academy to risk cleaning up. But this year is different, they have been in the school for a year, and they must accept the academy's recruitment and go to the New World to participate in the fight against the Dire Tide.

It was an incomparably dangerous war, with sea-like beast tides surging in from all directions, enveloping the Academy's territory layer by layer. Even in the hinterland that the academy has occupied and is firmly established, it is not immune, and at best the offensive strength is slightly weaker. However, it is also a huge opportunity. High-level monsters that are rare to see on weekdays are sent to the door in droves for you to kill. As long as they can survive the passage, many students can even be promoted to half a level overnight, or even a whole level!

Opportunities and risks coexist, and it all depends on the strength of each person.

Of course, if it can't be supported, then it will be a qiē Hugh. Not only will he not be able to reap any benefits, but he will also die and die, deducting ten years of life. The battlefield of the unified examination is controlled by the academy, and the death penalty can also be appropriately reduced according to the danger process. The new world can't help it, no matter how dangerous the academy is, it can't manage it. Every year in the Dire Dark Tide, there will be tens of thousands of seniors who lose their lifespan, which can be described as a river of blood and a bloody raft.

Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou have been in school for more than a year, and they already have a good understanding of the causes of the Dire Dark Tide. After entering November, it is natural to go all out to prepare for the battle.

Hu Siming is okay, he is already an elite-level lv2, just hunt and train step by step. His basic ability is still some distance away from lv4, and he won't be able to rise for a while and a half. In terms of level, after refining monsters for the second time with the gold hand, it has risen to more than half of the elite lv2. Before the Dire Darktide, Nu could almost level up. Even if it is worse, the chance of the third gold hand will cool down at that time, and it will definitely be able to break through.

Now the key lies in Yan Shaoou.

Normal level lv9 to lv10, the amount of experience energy required is still quite a lot. Despite his efforts, he may not be able to complete the elite test before Diretide. For Hu Siming, elite lv2 or lv3 is not very significant, it is nothing more than a few attribute points. But for Yan Shaoou, the ordinary level lv9 is completely different from the elite level.

As long as there is a chance ahead, he wants to make a breakthrough before the Dire Darktide begins!

You know, if you almost fail to break through, when you reach the Dire Darktide, the level will be stuck directly on the bottleneck of normal-level lv10, and it will be difficult to advance. That would be a waste of experience for the entire Dire Darktide. If you can break through first, not only will your strength soar, but you will have the possibility of self-preservation, and then with the help of the opportunity of the Dire Dark Tide, you may be able to achieve a double jump, and then upgrade to one level, and directly break through to Hu Siming's current level.

Ordinary level lv10 and elite lv2, how big is the gap between this, enough to be worth half a semester of hard work!

Such an opportunity, Yan Shaoou said that he didn't want to miss anything. Not only does he have to reach lv10 the day before Dire Darktide, but he also has to make sure that the elite test is cleared once!

Hu Siming also knows that this opportunity to quickly improve his strength and catch up with his progress is extremely rare, and there is only one time a year, so he is also ready to help.

Fortunately, although the time was less than two weeks, the academy still gave them a chance to complete the double jump!

On November 6th, the academy officially issued a call for students who had been in the school for more than a year, informing them of the news of Dire Darktide. Hu Siming, Yan Shaoou, and even most of the acquaintances they knew received the notice of requisition. However, this is only an early explanation, and the specific time and task have not yet been arranged, and it is necessary to wait for the college to further assess the destructive power of this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dark tide.

But in any case, as soon as this news came out, it meant that the big war entered the official countdown.

Overnight, the prices of the academy's various potions, scrolls, and weapons and equipment skyrocketed by thirty percent. In particular, the price of rare medicines that cannot be exchanged for huàn in the academy list is even more than fifty or sixty percent. Because Hu Siming is backed by the big community of Libra, he naturally has a stable internal channel. After discussing with Yan Shaoou, the two of them invested a lot of money this time, and jointly used 1800 general points to make enough potion reserves.

On November 8th, information about the Dire Darktide began circulating in the freshman school district. It's just that the official hunting mission hasn't been released yet, so only some well-informed freshmen can know about it, and most of the students are skeptical.

November 9th.

The operation of the Radiance Teleportation Array has been greatly accelerated, and the juniors have been dispatched one after another, arriving in the new world in large quantities. These lowest, elite lv7, lv8, and even pseudo-heroes and hero trainees, began to sit in various territories in the New World, responsible for commanding and strengthening the defense system, and leading the team to clean up the terrifying demonic beast lair in the New World at a fixed point to reduce the pressure during the Dire Dark Tide.

November 10th.

The academy issued tasks to the sophomore school district and some first-year repeaters, asking them to clean up the rapidly growing number of demonic beasts outside the academy. Low-level Warcraft can be left for freshman students, and those with ordinary level lv6 and above can be cleaned up. Deeper areas can also be left unattended, but the vicinity of the six main roads leading to the Forbidden Land must be clear enough to ensure that they become safe corridors for new students.

This clean-up task, which lasts for two to three days, is a good opportunity for Yan Shaoou to wait for!

Being able to break through to the elite before the Dire Darktide begins is up to it.
