Chapter 705: The curtain is raised

In the boundless depression, the time came to half past five in the afternoon.

Many of the squads sent out to hunt had all withdrawn an hour earlier. Due to the overall strength of the trainees, there are not many people who have been damaged, but there are still some people who have not heard from them yet. Seeing that the night was falling and the fog of war was rising closer and closer, the few students who had not yet returned could basically determine the results.

Nine times out of ten, it was swallowed up by the tide of beasts that had assembled in advance.

The sound of "fluttering ridges" sounded from the dim sky, and it was a war eagle released by the Beastmaster Inheritance, which quickly flapped its wings and flew into the distance. The senior junior saw the war eagle fly away, and cursed in a low voice, it seemed that the previous war eagle was accidentally killed by something.

The scout crows released by other students also had a lot of damage.

The students' field of vision has basically been compressed to a 10-kilometer radius near the camp. Farther away, unless there are guards planted in advance, it is difficult to reach by summoning units. Everyone knew that the beast tide was slowly approaching, and at this time, it was at least a quarter of an hour before it got dark!

"I'm afraid, the battle will start immediately as soon as the night starts......"

There were students who had participated in the Nightmare Darktide five times, looking worriedly at the darkness in the distance, their voices full of worry.

As he spoke, it seemed to be dark again. When the sun sets, the two silver moons of the new world disappear completely, plunging the world into darkness. Senior Chongfei, who had been prepared for a long time, ordered the elite tree puppets to light a large number of torches on the floating island and the temporary wall, and the specially added fuel could burn all night and dispel the fog of war. This ensures that even at night, the students' vision is not affected in any way.

The crackling and dancing flames slightly dispelled the darkness and calmed the students a lot.

The students who can be assigned here have been in the school for at least three years, and their psychological quality is far from being comparable to that of newcomers. Even though he knew the danger tonight, he quickly adjusted.

"It's coming!"

Just a minute before it was completely dark, there was a faint tremor on the ground. In the dimness at the end of the line of sight, a strange sound like a sea tide sounded. Students who have not ventured in the Ghost Outpost may not be able to tell the difference, but Hu Siming and the others can hear it at once, this is a common monster in the Ghost Outpost-Shadow Beast!

This monster is only LV26 in level, and its strength is average, and its body is between an entity and a spirit, and its appearance resembles a wild wolf. If it's a one-on-one situation, any pseudo-hero can solve it lightly. However, once the number of Shadow Beasts increased, the threat posed to the trainees would increase dramatically.

Because they have a characteristic, that is, they will spontaneously merge after being disabled!

If both Shadow Beasts have less than a quarter of their HP and get close enough, the two Remnant Shadow Beasts will merge into a new, higher-level Shadow Beast, and their HP will be restored a lot. If multiple Shadow Beasts devour and fuse with each other, they may even form an elite of Shadow Beasts above LV30 in the end.

At that point, the problem is big!

The trainees on the temporary city wall on the north side of the camp are very aware of this characteristic, and they don't care too much about the elite of LV30. It's just that when the number is not three or two, but many, many, no one can ignore it. As for the exact number of those Shadow Beasts...... As you can guess from the sound of the tide, there are at least hundreds of thousands.

That's a daunting number!

"They're coming!"

I don't know who shouted, but the sky suddenly darkened at that moment, and the fog of war spread silently from all corners. The Shadow Beasts, who were at the vanguard of the beast tide, seemed to sense something, and emitted a sound far larger than the previous tide, which continued for a long time, as if it had spread all the way to the end of the horizon.

The brilliance of various equipment and skills lights up one after another.

Students in each section start to buff teammates or "neighbors" in adjacent sections. For a moment, the glow of the skill pierced the darkness, and the flash of magic fluctuations spread far away, further stimulating the tide of beasts that were terrified by the disappearance of the twin moons, and making the Shadow Beast, which acted as the vanguard, almost fall into a mad situation.

With the help of the light of the torches, Hu Simin and the others saw the Shadow Beast that had broken into their field of vision.

In the first second, there were only a dozen or so heads. After just two or three seconds, the number of demonic beasts that broke into the field of vision exploded, and soon became dozens or hundreds, forming a long line. After a brief moment of acceleration, the irascible and panicked Shadow Beasts formed an irresistible torrent that swept with a howling sound like the tide of the sea.

The battle started in an instant!

As the defensive towers on the north side of the wall opened fire, shouts and fighting rang out from the other three walls at the same time.

The sudden blow caused some confusion among the Shadow Beasts that rushed to the front. But driven by the Dire Darktide, they continued to rush forward despite their might. After towers firing, trapping trenches, a handful of triggered goblin mines, and the action of the ranged mages among the trainees, the Shadowmons were forced to slow down in the confusion and crashed headlong into the stone wall.

The temporary stone wall in the entire northern section suddenly shook slightly.

After all, it was only temporarily reinforced, and whether it was durability or armor, it was far inferior to the main wall of the camp fifty meters later. Because of this, although the city wall under their feet shook, the students did not panic and took action one after another.

If you look at it from above, you will see the rushing black beast tide, as if it has hit the embankment head-on. Despite the staggering waves, they were never able to break through the embankment and were forcibly stopped. Not only that, but the trainees on this "embankment" erupted with lethal terrifying firepower, killing and injuring the Shadow Beasts in a steady stream, causing casualties in just a few seconds.

As the guardians of the central sector, Hu Siming and the others bore the brunt of the attack, and were the first to engage these shadow beasts.

The configuration and inheritance of the team gave them a great opportunity to work at ease.

As early as when the tide of these shadow beasts was still a hundred meters away, Yan Shaoou had already begun to cast spells and chanted, unleashing a drastic change on the vast open space directly in front of him. This is a perverted slow skill that lasts for 12 seconds and lasts for another 3 seconds even after it ends, and the effect of the slow is based on the time it is channeled by cast, not the time the enemy stays in the upheaval area.

Under the guidance of the magic power, the dark yellow strange air flow vibrated up.

As the upheaval continues to be channeled, the deceleration effect has increased by more than 50%!

Such a powerful deceleration has reached the point of extreme power. The Shadow Beasts that rushed in frantically didn't expect this at all, and crashed headlong into a 650-wide upheaval zone. The terrible turbulence made them feel as if they had suddenly rushed into the deep sea, and their speed dropped sharply.

The extremely fast to slow change caused the Shadow Beasts to let out a howl of pain.

What's more, the Shadow Beast that followed the charge in the back row didn't know what was happening in front of it, and it was impossible to stop at all, so it followed and collided headlong, causing a series of collisions. Not only was the entire formation chaotic, but it also caused a lot of damage to the Shadow Beasts in the front row.

The terrifying beast tide charge was easily resolved by Yan Shaoou's pre-read upheaval.

Shi Niu had already prepared the second company of the astral geist + echo heavy step, which could also stop the collision, and seeing that Yan Shaoou's skill was perfectly effective, he smiled and paused the spell casting, and looked at Hu Siming. His two-in-a-row single theory damage is not high, and it is more about controlling zhì and assisting Hu Siming's output.

Therefore, only when Hu Siming planned to use the Shadowless Fist, he would release the astral spirit to cooperate.

In the continuous guidance, the effect of the upheaval is gradually approaching the extreme. These Shadowbeasts had a movement speed of over 350 points, but after being weakened by more than 80%, they had become faltering. Struggling at a zombie-like speed, he rushed to the bottom of the city wall with great difficulty. The Shadow Beast in the front row left whitish marks on the stone wall with its sharp claws. The Shadow Beast in the back directly crossed over its companion and attempted to jump to a temporary stone wall that was not very high, and directly attacked the trainee.

"That's it. ”

Hu Siming stood with his hands in his hands, watching these shadow beasts affected by the upheaval climb onto the stone wall and were about to rush in front of him, so he nodded with a relaxed face.

As the leader of the squad, his words determine the actions of the entire team.

Yan Shaoou decisively stopped the drastic guidance, slowed down while there was still a delay of three seconds, and launched a fatal link against the first few monsters.

Xu Guang turned on the scorched earth skill and rushed to the front first.

His rubbing skills cut through an ability specially prepared for this Dire Darktide - Thor's Touch.

This is a skill that Xu Guang stole from a blue-name enhanced thunder elemental elite, after blessing the target, every basic attack, has a 15% chance to trigger chain lightning, causing 100 spell damage to up to 5 nearby targets.

It's a bit like the special effect of the hero equipment [Vortex], but the damage is slightly lower, and the chance of triggering is much worse. Even, Hu Siming's first-tier talent has a 1% higher chance of triggering than it!

On weekdays, the effect of this Thor's Touch is relatively average, because the triggered chain lightning is difficult to deal maximum damage, and the trigger chance is touching. However, it was different when he got the Dire Dark Tide, even if Hu Siming's Shadowless Fist was only LV2, and the range was only 350, with these dense shadow beasts in front of him, he could at least kill a dozen of them.

Even in terms of probability, every Shadowless Fist can be triggered with certainty!

Due to the blessing in advance, Hu Siming's body and hands are now surrounded by a layer of blue electricity that shimmers slightly. It's just that against the backdrop of the powerful flames around his body, it doesn't look very inconspicuous.

At the same time that Xu Guang stopped the Shadow Beast, Shi Niu's astral spirit was finally released.

The formless ghost quickly passed through the middle of the Shadow Beast's body. While dealing damage, the aura of natural order inherited by the astral spirit radiates a strange brilliance, dispersing 60% of the monster's base armor and 19% of its base magic resistance. Within the confines of this aura, the Shadow Beast, which was originally quite durable, became extremely vulnerable.

Yu Gaowu, who was arranged at the end, also released a bloody revenge mark on a shadow beast in the center of the monster group.

Teammates are ready to go!
