Chapter 106: A Murderous Counterattack
The battle just now has shown that without relying on the help of mercenaries, it is difficult to take out these big monsters with the strength of the three of them alone.
Although the four groups of monsters that can drop "evidence" on the battlefield may not all be the leaders of the Dark Sand Scorpion, the overall difficulty should be the same. In other words, Hu Siming and they want to clear the other three wild spots, and they also need mercenaries, which means that they need more ancient gold coins.
That's why they're heading to the center of town.
Only the goblin merchants who are there can exchange valuable antiques for ancient gold coins.
On the way back, Hu Siming had to complain about this. He would rather the Dark Sand Scorpion Leader drop 400 Ancient Gold Coins directly than let it drop such an item that cannot be directly realized. This back and forth trip not only wastes a lot of time, but also makes them take a bigger risk. The Dire team hidden on the battlefield is, after all, capable of fighting and not to be underestimated!
"Perhaps, this is exactly what the battlefield wants to see. ”
Yan Shaoou figured out the reason why the battlefield setting fell like this.
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than giving more opportunities to the disadvantaged side. The town of death is so big, if one side gains an advantage and quickly harvests resources, and then takes the initiative to avoid it, the other side will have no chance even if they want to turn the tables, and they can't find anyone at all. With such a setting, it's different, unless Hu Siming and they can watch the 500 ancient gold coins not use it, they have to make an extra trip to the center of the town, which invisibly gives the opponent a chance.
Hu Siming was also vaguely aware of this, and muttered: "If it weren't for the ordinary wild monsters in the vicinity being cleared, I would rather waste some time." When the situation was completely decided, and the Dire could never be overturned, it was replaced. ”
Complaining is complaining, when the ordinary monster resources on the battlefield have been cleared a lot and become fragmented, he can only accept the reality and lead the team into the town covered by fog.
In order to prevent a sneak attack, the three of them stood in a stable triangle. Ahead, there are also scout crows to probe back and forth, ensuring that they can spot their opponents before the Dire in the event of an unexpected encounter. But along the way, except for the faint monster peeping, they didn't encounter any abnormal situations.
Seeing the goblin shop appear in front of them, the three of them were somewhat relieved.
"It seems that the Dire people are not there. ”
With that, Hu Siming walked along the overgrown stone path. It only takes a dozen more steps to enter the protection circle of the goblin shop building. But at this moment, an invisible throbbing appeared. Hu Siming was stunned and found that he seemed to have triggered something.
"How does it feel?"
Not only Hu Siming, but Cai Feng and Yan Shaoou also noticed it. The two freshmen didn't understand what was going on, but Cai Feng's face changed, and he lost his voice: "Goblin Mine!"
Goblin mines!
Before today, although the two had not personally touched it, the name was still familiar. Moreover, not long ago, they also saw this item in the list of goods in the goblin shop. However, the three of them didn't take this consumable item very seriously at the time.
The reason is simple, it has too many limitations.
【Goblin Mine】
Place an inferior cloaking mine, which, when detonated, can kill nearby enemies.
When triggered, explodes with a 1 second delay, dealing 150 physical damage to units within a 200 radius. After exceeding the 200 radius, the farther away from the center of the explosion, the lower the damage. Once placed, the mine cannot be moved, and the maximum storage time is 10 minutes, after which it will automatically detonate and disappear.
The price of huàn is 200 ancient gold coins!
The 150 physical damage in the center area seems to be very impressive, but its flaws are too obvious. Not to mention the need for a cast action when placed, even after triggering, there is a 1 second delay to detonate. That's it, the point is, it has a small blast range and a limited duration. Above 200 radius, the damage begins to decrease. If there is no enemy in ten minutes, the mine will self-destruct, which is a waste of money.
The most important point is how to place it in the path of the enemy!
No matter how delicate the timing is, no matter how high the damage of the mine, it will be in vain if the enemy does not step on it. All these factors combined made Hu Siming and them not interested in this thing. However, the Dire people, at an absolute disadvantage, thought of using it to devise a counterattack plan.
First of all, as the centerpiece of the battlefield, the Radiant team will definitely come to the Goblin Store again, which is the basis for the Dire team to formulate a counterattack plan.
Convinced of this, the three of them divided their forces and hid in the only two entrances to the town. As soon as they spotted the Radiant team entering town, they immediately alerted the Dire Captain who was waiting near the Goblin Shop via the Guò battlefield communication channel. Receiving the signal, he planted a goblin mine in the direction where the Radiant team was coming.
Of course, the people of Tianhui will not come to the town to play for no reason, and the biggest possibility is to come to the goblin store to buy things. That way, they don't have to worry about mines detonating themselves in time or planting them in the wrong place. As long as it is determined which of the two entrances the Radiant team enters from, and the corresponding one is buried outside the Goblin Shop, there is a 99% chance of detonation.
If all of this is discovered, the Dire team will have to blame themselves for their bad luck and admit defeat.
But apparently, their luck wasn't that bad!
As Captain Dire expected, Hu Siming, who was walking in front, saw the calm along the way, relaxed a little, and stepped on a goblin mine. Since he had never felt the sensation of triggering a mine before, he was inevitably shocked. When Caifeng realized that something was wrong and reminded him loudly, Hu Siming turned around and fled, it was too late.
In order to win this battle, the Dire team has made a lot of money.
Almost all of the resources they had collected before were taken out, and a total of three goblin mines were arranged, and the initial mine stock of the goblin shop was directly emptied!
With that, the center range is up to 450 points of explosion damage!
Even if this damage is of the physical type and is subject to armor reduction, it is far beyond what a freshman can handle. Although Hu Siming rushed out of the center range of 200 distances, he only left a little. After deducting 2 points of armor damage reduction, an actual damage of more than 350 points instantly hit him, directly tearing his body to pieces.
"Rub!"
As soon as Hu Siming had time to scold, his soul returned to the hidden resurrection point on the battlefield. Nothing can be done except to gain dark vision for teammates.
The first sacrifice of the Radiant team!
This explosion, along with Hu Siming's instantaneous death, stunned Cai Feng and Yan Shaoou. At this moment, the Dire Captain, who had been lying in ambush nearby, immediately came out of the mist and headed straight for the two of them. The two members who were watching the wind near the entrance of the town also moved closer to this side. After Captain Dire attacks, he appears and runs over and begins to join the captain.
Three-on-two!
Hu Siming's previous endless methods gave them great pressure. Dual skills, two high-level treasures, Darkmoon cards, and even abilities they didn't know existed. Now that the pre-set mines worked perfectly to kill him, this is when the Dire team is at its strongest. If they can't win this wave, or expand their gains, they will never have a chance again.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Captain Dire shouted loudly, cheering himself up as he swung the crimson gloves in his hand to close in on the two of them.
"Oops......"
Seeing the Dire slaughter in a big way, Cai Feng realized that this wave of them was dangerous. If it wasn't Hu Siming who died, but Yan Shaoou, and the aura of ruining Miè's horn accelerated, she would still dare to fight with Dire. Although Yan Shaoou's strength is good, after all, the means are lacking, and only the output can keep up. In the case that Dire has a numerical advantage, Yan Shaoou has no output environment.
I can only withdraw!
Her mind raced, and she immediately made a decision to turn on the horns of the raptor.
As the effect of the high-level treasure triggered, the power of the wind flowed through the two of them, instantly increasing their speed by 30 points. However, Yan Shaoou did not run away as soon as possible, but took advantage of this acceleration to turn around and rush to the place where Hu Siming hung up, and picked up the "evidence" that death must have fallen before Captain Dire arrived, and then rushed outside the town with Caifeng!
This evidence, which is directly related to the ownership of the main quest and the final victory, cannot be allowed in any way
