Chapter 299: Neutral Battlefield Merchant
It's been an hour since I entered the Frost Glade.
After killing the two Dire trainees at the beginning, the progress of Hu Siming and the three began to slow down. After all, the smaller the number of people on such a large map, the harder it is to find, and the snow is getting heavier and heavier, which affects the tracking of the hounds. Several times, it had to stop and discern carefully to find the faint breath.
Although the three of them were a little anxious, they didn't have a good way, so they could only come step by step.
After about five minutes, they killed two snow wildlings that stood in their way, and crossed the woodland to the southeast of the battlefield. Judging by the conventional point of view, and the direction of the hound's tracking, there is probably a third Dire student in the vicinity. Sure enough, after rounding the cedar in front of him, the polar hound barked again and began to speed up.
"Found it!"
Hu Siming, Yan Shaoou and Xu Guang were all overjoyed and hurriedly chased after them. Unfortunately, through the boiling snowflakes, the trio did not see any trace of the Dire trainees, but found a dome, a hut made of ice. Outside the house, there is an erratic circle of light, which stands out on the pure white snow.
What is it?
Hu Siming frowned and looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but think of the goblin shop he encountered in the unified examination last semester. Could it be that in this unified examination, there are similar functional buildings?
That's a good boost.
Although he was roughly sure in his heart, after summing up the lessons learned last semester, he was much more cautious this time. Recall the hounds, and let Yan Shaoou's water element explore the way first. After confirming that there were no traps or goblin mines, the three of them carefully pushed the door with the hounds and entered the igloo.
They were received by a small, white-bearded, rosacea dwarf.
As Hu Siming expected, this guy is indeed a neutral businessman. After opening the list of goods for sale, the trio immediately saw a lot of goodies: Scout Crow, Wind Glasses (+20% vision range), Cold Rock (summons a lv8 Ice Golem to help in battle), Sleigh (Snow Movement Speed +15%), Watchtower Tower, etc......
Each of the 10 items on the list has its own purpose, so it's hard to buy them all.
Hu Siming exchanged glances with his teammates, and they all noticed a problem, these props were not marked with prices. I don't know, what exactly do you want to pay for?
The ice dwarf seemed to realize something, patted his head, and said, "Originally, the people in the village traded with me, and they were all exchanged for spirits. But now the village is ruined and the wine is gone. Otherwise, I suddenly like to eat bear's paws recently, and if you kill the brown bear nearby for me, I will give you the right to choose any prop. ”
With his words, the battlefield gave the target monster reference information in time.
【Frost Brown Bear】
Rating Lv10, Blue Name Monster (Enhanced)
Max HP is 950 points, Attack Power is 46-55 points, Movement Speed is 310 points, and it has the Fury Strike skill and Cold Power Boost.
A lv10 blue name enhancement monster.,And look at the strength is still relatively strong.。
If it's an ordinary team, I'm afraid it's going to have to be three people out of the group and do their best to kill it. That would certainly give them extra help, but correspondingly, going back and forth, plus the time spent fighting, would definitely slow down their progress and give the Dire team more time.
Therefore, this Ice Dwarf's shop is not necessarily a good help, but a bit of a trap.
After seeing the strength of the brown bear, Yan Shaoou thought of this, but he was very confident in the team's combat strength, and immediately said: "Brother Hu will continue to search with the polar hounds, and the third Dire trainee should not be far from here." The brown bear is handed over to me and Xu Guang, and the two of them should be enough to solve it. ”
Go your separate ways, both at the same time!
After taking over the Ice Dwarf's commission, the three of them immediately went into action. Although there is a certain danger in the arbitrary division of troops in the unified examination, in this situation, Hu Siming does not think that the Dire students can accurately find them and gather forces to attack suddenly. What's more, even if they do come, they must first be able to fight.
In the team of three, none of them are easy to mess with!
Seeing Xu Guang and Yan Shaoou leave, Hu Siming left the igloo with the polar hound, allowing it to use its tracking ability again. This time, the hound had no more problems, and after running with him for ten minutes, he found the enemy on a slightly raised snowy slope nearby.
To Hu Siming's surprise and surprise, the enemies he found were not one, but two!
Seeing Hu Siming appear in the wind and snow, on the ten-meter-high snow slope, the two Dire students were also taken aback. When they found out that Hu Siming came alone, they were a little nervous. No matter how strong Tianhui's students are, can they still be one against two? However, the two of them quickly became suspicious, suspecting that he was a bait, and there was an ambush behind them, so they did not act rashly, but suppressed the impulse and looked at each other from a distance of dozens of meters.
After the probing technique was lost, Hu Siming Shun lì got information about the two enemies.
Due to his higher level than the other party, Detective Shun Lì obtained most of the information, such as level, health, most treasures, and trinkets and weapons. Judging from the information revealed, these two people have an ordinary level lv5 and a lv6. The strength is certainly not weak, but it is not yet a threat to itself.
What really made Hu Siming care was the simple defense line built by the two.
Compared to the previous two Dire trainees, the two had more than an hour to summon twice as many complexes. Hu Siming didn't know exactly what it was for, but it was mostly a place like a base or a lumber yard to transform resources. What deserves his attention are the walls and arrow towers.
That's the most threatening thing!
The previous Dire trainees, because they were building a defensive line on their own, had to build both a wall and an arrow tower. The former closes the road to protect the trainees, and the latter provides the output. It has not been developing for a long time, and it has to be distracted for two purposes, and the line of defense is naturally no threat. But these two collaborators are different, they communicated in advance and completed the division of labor. One person only builds the wall, and the other specializes in the arrow tower, so that the defense line is very solid.
Compared to the wooden arrow tower that only had a dozen attacks before, the snow slope in front of him has a two-story thick stone wall, plus a full six arrow towers.
The stone wall in front is obviously upgraded and reinforced, with a durability of up to 500 points and 5 points of enhanced armor. The two stone walls in the front and back perfectly seal the way above. The six arrow towers in the back are even more terrifying, and bed crossbows have been installed, which not only increases the attack range, but also reaches 28-33 attack power!
With six such towers, a salvo is 180 damage.
With a double-walled enclosure and six arrow towers, and two Dire trainees in the center, it's not an exaggeration to say that they're impregnable.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the combination of the two means that the area of territory that needs to be defended is larger. As in last semester's rehearsal, it is impossible for the existing six towers to cover all corners at the same time unless they break through the middle. If you raid from the edge of one side, you will only need to deal with up to four arrow towers.
In this way, the pressure will be much lower.
Perhaps it was Hu Siming's arrival that added to the tension of the two Dire trainees. They have also begun to adjust their tactics and tilt their resources towards defense. One was going to reinforce the wall section by section, while the other continued to escalate the attack of the towers - not that he didn't want to build more, but there was really no place for them, and the towers took up a lot of space after all.
From this point of view, after Yan Shaoou and Xu Guang are in place, the difficulty of this line of defense will increase a little more.
After a moment of fixed observation, Hu Siming took two breaths of cold air and realized the difficulty of the problem. Not only that, but when he got a little closer to the defensive line, he vaguely sensed another danger. It is impossible to say where this danger comes from, but Hu Siming has found a thing or two through speculation and analysis. That is, in front of the double wall, in large areas of snow, there are likely to be other traps.
There is no hard basis for this speculation, but when you think about it, it is very likely.
Goblin mines and the like are not very rare, and there are many similar traps. In case Hu Siming and the others rushed up and were caught by some kind of stun and confinement traps, two rounds of arrow tower salvos, with the counterattack of the Dire trainees, would probably be damaged on the spot.
In this place, you must let the water element focus on cleaning it up when you go back, and if you really can't do it, you will plug in the real eye.
Anyway, a few days ago, I took a group of sentry guards from Murong for nothing, so I don't need to use it in vain. The enemy's defensive line is also in good order, and it proves that it has some strength, and if you are really careless, you will not be able to capsize in the gutter. On the contrary, as long as you can kill these two people, even if you don't make any achievements in the future, at least you can avoid the complete failure of the main story and get some rewards.
In short, I hope for a qiēshun lì......
While patiently waiting for his teammates, Hu Siming walked around the neighborhood intentionally or unintentionally, luring the two Dire trainees down. In that case, Hu Siming is confident that he will break out at any cost. In this way, the alliance between the two will be self-defeating. It's a pity that the two of them were also very cautious, seeing Hu Siming so bold, although they were suspicious, they never rushed out of the defense line rashly, but stood on top and scolded Hu Siming, trying to provoke him to rush up.
After a brief psychological game, after no one was fooled, Hu Siming took the initiative to retreat with the hound.
This act of confession undoubtedly caused the taunts and ridicule of the two Dire trainees, and also made them both feel reassured.
However, what the Dire trainees didn't know was that Yan Shaoou and Xu Guang had already killed the reinforced brown bear at this time, completing the ice and snow dwarf's commission. After seeing the combined defense line of the two Dire trainees, Hu Siming did not hesitate to make a choice, and made a decision to exchange the cold rock that could summon the ice and snow golem.
If it was a confrontation in the wild, Hu Siming would never choose this kind of summon, because it was too cumbersome, and its movement speed could not catch up with the enemy at all. However, the siege attack type it has makes it extremely useful against the walls of enhanced armor.
This bulky hunk is perfect for breaking down walls and turrets!
