Chapter 168: Split Search
Forming a team freely is the best time to reflect a person's strength and prestige.
In a new world full of dangers, facing unknown natives, walking with the strong is the safest way. Hu Siming's previous strength, as well as his identity as an agent, has made many students in the class have confidence in him. After hearing the principle of forming a team, they immediately cast an inquiring glance at Hu Siming.
If Hu Siming nodded, it was estimated that seven or eight students would be able to be brought in in an instant.
But in that case, there is not much point in searching in groups. Hu Siming looked at them one by one, although he didn't speak, the meaning of the refusal was already very obvious. In his mind, a normal team of four to five people is enough. No matter how much it is, it is difficult to coordinate and cooperate, and it is easy to waste combat power. If it's a strong team, even a group of three is fine.
Hu Siming has cooperated with Yan Shaoou many times, and he must be in a group. If you have to add others, Hu Siming feels that two more at most are enough.
Moreover, the strength of those two people should not be too weak.
Hu Siming wants teammates who can help at critical moments, not rookies who hug their thighs.
"Alas......"
Realizing Hu Siming's choice, some students couldn't help but sigh and could only give up the idea of being in a group with Hu Siming. It's just that Liang Wu also has his own team, and he also has no intention of bringing outsiders. Among the top five people in the class, only Lu Kai has good popularity, and he does not have a fixed team, so he randomly ordered three students who usually have a good relationship, which can be regarded as forming a team.
Although Jiang Yuanhao has always been a loner, he does not dare to shuttle alone in the new world until his strength is not strong enough to reach a certain level. After looking around, Jiang Yuanhao ignored the invitations of the other students and stood directly beside Hu Siming.
"Can you count me as one?"
The uninvited arrival of this mysterious master was somewhat unexpected by Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou, but as a master in the class, his addition will only make the team stronger. Hu Siming glanced at Yan Shaoou and accepted Jiang Yuanhao's application.
Yan Shaoou used a probe on Jiang Yuanhao, the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, and said to Hu Siming: "I think the three of us are enough." ”
This foreign student who had hidden his equipment before, the six-bar equipment slot was actually full. Although five of them are low-level treasures, there are more of them, and the increase in combat power is still considerable. The point is that the only high-grade treasure on his body looks very powerful.
【Salamander Cato's Scales】
High-grade treasures.
Gain +2 on armor and have a 17% chance to deal 10 fire damage retaliation from any melee physical damage.
It's actually a relatively rare high-grade treasure that focuses on defense!
Before this, the high-level treasures that Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou saw were either to increase their attacks, or to increase their attack speed/movement speed like destroying the Horn of Miè. It can increase armor by 2 and has a chance to deal 10 fire damage retaliation, which is really a powerful piece of equipment. Even though the retaliation only works for melee physical damage, it's also very useful. With it, Jiang Yuanhao's anti-fighting ability has been directly improved by a notch.
has him in front as a meat shield, Hu Siming has a part-time output and a second meat shield, and Yan Shaoou has a remote output in the back row. These three people do have a combat power that far exceeds that of other teams.
"Okay, just three of them!"
After Hu Siming estimated the combat power, he found that with the combination of the three of them, even if they encountered ordinary level lv7 and lv8 monsters, they would have the power to fight, and even if they made a decision.
After a minute of chaos, the twenty students in the class had basically finished grouping. There are three people on Hu Siming's side, five people on Liang Wu's side, and four people on Lu Kai's side. The remaining eight people were also divided into two groups equally, and the final group was a total of five groups. On the map assigned by the mission, they roughly divided five small areas equally, each responsible for one area. This ensures that there are no omissions and no duplicate searches, maximizing efficiency.
After repeating the 12-hour meeting agreement and sending goodluck blessings to each other, the students set off for their own designated areas.
Because he is the first agent in the class, and the people in the group are also the top in the class, the area that Hu Siming has demarcated for himself is the most central of the five areas. After seeing the figures of the other groups disappear into the forest of the New World, Hu Siming and the three of them also followed the small river in the forest and headed upstream.
Due to the small number of people, the team is also very efficient. Soon, the abandoned Outpost 38 and the Fountain of Life were left behind. The three of them bathed in the light of two silver moons in the sky, waded through this open terrain, and entered the forest again.
From the limited map, Outpost 38 is already in the most marginal sphere of influence in the main city of Teldashir. Stretch forward for more than a dozen miles, and you will enter the outer territory of the Bronze Dragon Tribe. Fortunately, this border is not located in the middle of the long border zone of the entire continent, but very close to the edge of the continent. Even if there are natives of the Bronze Dragon Tribe, they are only a few small tribes on the periphery, and they will not encounter real powerhouses.
Even if he knew this in his heart, walking through the New World Continent that he had never set foot on before, Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou were still a little nervous.
Jiang Yuanhao himself is a loner, and he walked with the two without saying a word, and always remained silent. After walking three or four miles, the atmosphere of the team seemed a little dignified.
Hu Siming was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, when he felt a sudden tightness under his feet. Before he could react, the thorny vines hidden in the grass suddenly tightened, pulling him up and throwing him into the air. The sudden change made Yan Shaoou and Jiang Yuanhao stop immediately. All three of them have discerning eyes, and before they can find the monster, the red light in the left eye has automatically scanned the target, flashing its information.
【Scavenging vine】
Rating Lv6, gray name.
580 HP, 3 armor, 38-44 ATK, plant-type monster. Has a passive ability: Vampire Vine.
Vampire Rattan: A rattan covered in thorny barbs that can drain 5 health points and convert them into your own life every time you attack an enemy.
"Plant-type monsters?"
The information listed by the Eye of Discernment, Jiang Yuanhao and Yan Shaoou were eye-opening. It's just that their teammates were attacked, so they didn't care about being surprised, and immediately showed their weapons to attack. With the information of the Discerning Eye, they easily found the well-hidden scavenging vines in the lush woods. This dark green, seven or eight meters tall, was covered with hedgehog-like thorn barbs, in addition to two thick and long rattan tentacles dancing in the air.
Hu Siming was attacked by one of them and was thrown into the air.
If a person encounters it suddenly, he may suffer a big loss if he is caught off guard. But when the three masters walk together, the adaptability will be improved a lot. Yan Shaoou immediately summoned the water elemental, and with a wave of the staff in his hand, he launched a charged bomb attack at it. After obtaining the Venom Orb in the rehearsal, his attack damage has exceeded 35 and he has added toxin damage. The charged bullet also turned light green, causing the scavenging vine to suffer pain, and immediately retracted his attention.
Hu Siming took the opportunity to slash the rattan tentacle with a sword, although the general-purpose jewelry weapon was not sharp enough to cut it, but it also let the rattan loosen. He broke free, rolled over in the air, and launched a heroic charge!
The power of the skill is reflected in this moment.
Like a harrier turning over, Hu Siming changed his body in the air, suddenly accelerated under the impetus of magic power, and crashed into the front of the scavenging vine. The output of the skill plus the general attack hit more than 75 points of damage, which once again caused Jiang Yuanhao's surprise.
His lips moved, as if he wanted to ask Hu Siming how he did it, but finally held back. However, encouraged by Hu Siming's output, Jiang Yuanhao also wanted to prove himself. In the entrance test, the weapon he opened from the general cosmetic box was a hatchet, which was more suitable for hard-hitting slashing than a sword. With one sword, it actually dealt as much damage as 34 points.
In the face of a scavenging vine with 3 points of armor, it can deal 34 points of actual damage, and the attack power is already quite considerable. Even if it is not as good as Hu Siming, it is a little higher than Yan Shaoou. It's just that Jiang Yuanhao, who is so strong, is obviously not satisfied with this number. He shook his head, and a flash of red light flashed on the knife.
【Tear】
Tears through the target's wounds, dealing an additional 20 damage. The torn wound lasts for 5 seconds, during which time physical damage dealt to it gains 10% lifesteal.
A hybrid effect of damage + lifesteal!
The extra 20 damage can only be said to be average. After all, Hu Siming's ordinary flame burst skill has 20 seconds of damage and 1 second of stun. However, the additional 10% lifesteal takes the tearing skill up a notch. Combined with Jiang Yuanhao's high-grade treasure, it can further strengthen his long-lasting combat power.
Hu Siming is sure that this skill also spent Tianhui coinage to exchange huàn, which is stronger than ordinary skills.
The appearance of laceration wounds irritates the scavenging vine. It has always used thorny rattans to suck other people's blood, and today there are actually humans who use skills to drain its health, how can this be endured? The two rattan tentacles on its body immediately accelerated the frequency of their swings, and they frantically attacked Jiang Yuanhao.
With 4 points of armor, Jiang Yuanhao's defense is still good. Taking advantage of his attention to the scavenging vine, Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou began to output with all their might. Although Hu Siming still didn't have a talent, the slowdown of the Frost Ball had already taken effect, making the speed of the rattan significantly slow down again. Yan Shaoou's venom ball also continued to cause poisonous injuries. In order to end the battle as much as possible, he also used the ogre bone stick that Hu Siming had gifted.
After the magic is infused, the ogre's ancestral soul appears.
A bloodthirsty bright red light flashed, and an unexpected scene appeared. Yan Shaoou's character exploded, directly triggering a 10% triple cast effect. The red light split into three groups in the air, and at the same time poured into the bodies of Hu Siming, Yan Shaoou, and Jiang Yuanhao, allowing them all to obtain the blessing of bloodthirsty magic, and their attack speed was +20%!
The sudden increase in attack speed and output has made the defeat of the scavenging vine enter the countdown, even if its rattan can suck blood, it can't stop it!
