Chapter 470: Sea of Ashes

After a month and a half of absence, Hu Siming once again set foot on the square of the base camp.

Compared to last semester, there seems to be no change in the bustling base camp. The panic and indignation caused by the Dire campus invasion during the final exams seemed to have subsided. The students who come and go from the base camp are still busy running for their future. The only thing that has changed is the long street on the west side of the base camp, those industries that originally belonged to Sagittarius.

Residential, bar, exchange, leased blacksmith shop......

The industry is still those industries, and there are still many old faces in the personnel, and the people who are responsible for patrolling and security are still the black-armored elites of the academy, but the battle flag hanging on the industry is different. Only a small number still bear the constellation Sagittarius, and the rest have basically been replaced by the flags of the other four major societies.

Among them, there are industries that belong to the sign of Libra.

Hu Siming didn't have anything to buy or sell, he just stopped here and looked at it for a while, satisfied his curiosity, and continued to take the teleportation array to transfer.

This time, the place he's going to is the Scorching Canyon under Stormwind.

Although that place is said to be a canyon, it is actually a collective name for a million-square-kilometer area, including seven or eight sections such as Blackstone Mountain, the Great Melting Pot, and the Viewing Fire Ridge. The ones that haunt here are mainly fire-type demonic beasts. Among them, a place called the Sea of Ashes is the real destination of Hu Siming.

Despite its name, the Sea of Ashes is actually an abandoned mine. It is so named because the mine is rich in coal ore. I don't know what summer fire ignited a large area of coal mines exposed on the surface, and the fire burned continuously for a month. Since then, a thick layer of burnt coal ash and cinders has stretched for hundreds of miles, achieving the fame of the Sea of Ashes. It is said that it is still possible to find unburned open flames in some cracks and tunnels there.

Since that fire, the Sea of Ashes has become a haven for fire-elemental creatures.

Because the ore veins here contain a lot of rare ores, there are still quite a few students who come here to hunt and make a little fortune by the way. Even if there are not many materials dropped by hunting, if you occasionally find a few good ore materials, you can sell them to clubs, academies or trade them to students who have taken the Forge Course, which is more or less an extra income. Because of this, when Hu Siming came on a small goblin airship, there was only one empty seat on the airship that could accommodate eight people.

Coincidentally, the remaining six people happened to be a three-person team each.

Because there are reservations, on the surface, there is not much useful to be obtained. But Hu Siming can roughly feel that the strength of these two peer teams is not bad, and the configuration is two melee and one mage, which can basically form a solid triangular position. If you fight three or one, ordinary lv20 level monsters can easily take down.

The monster level of the Sea of Ashes is only sixteen or seventeen on average. Such a three-person team, as long as it doesn't encounter a large group of monsters or lord-level demonic beasts, can basically run rampant here, and even if it encounters elites, it can try to fight a dozen.

Of course, because there are more people, the average income cannot be guaranteed.

Although the risk is relatively high, both the hunting efficiency and the benefits are far superior to the former.

As for whether these two teams will have any undesirable thoughts because of this, they may have, but when Hu Siming arrived at the edge of the sea of ashes and disembarked the goblin airship, he deliberately lit up the official member badge of Libra. Then, two teams of three people understood everything.

There are people they can't afford to mess with!

After choosing a direction for each other, Hu Siming and the other two teams split up and entered the Sea of Ashes.

The surrounding area was covered with soft and pungent soot, and from time to time crumbling cinders were stepped on, making a Kerala sound. Whenever the wind blows, the boundless soot in the distance is lifted with the wind, like a gray tide undulating. It looks spectacular and beautiful, but in fact it is very choking, and you will feel extremely depressed and dead after staying for a long time.

However, for the sake of the hero's pre-mission, these discomforts are nothing.

In the Battle of Tower Ridge, Hu Siming killed a Dire hero and was lucky enough to get the opponent's phase shoes, and now is the time to be full of energy. After turning on the aura, changing the transcendent crystal-encrusted cloak, and equipping the gold hand and phase shoes, he confidently began to search in the sea of ashes.

The monster he chose was called the Flame Revenant.

The fire that swept through the area killed many wandering aborigines and native monsters. After a few Dire Darktides, the unlucky ones who were burned to death gradually turned into undead monsters. Flame Revenant is one of them, and it is level up to lv17.

It can even be said that the reason why Hu Siming came to the Sea of Ashes was because of it.

The Flame Revenant is a dual-line monster, that is, an elemental monster, but also has the characteristics of the undead. From it, Hu Siming can extract the essence of flames. In addition, Hu Siming's Sacred Destruction Horn has an additional 10% damage to undead monsters. This can greatly speed up the kill efficiency. In addition, Hu Siming's own dragon blood fruit can reduce fire attribute damage by 20%, and the Death Lord Crown can also reduce damage from undead monsters by 10%.

The combination of several factors made this monster, which was quite common in the Sea of Ashes, the most suitable target for him at the moment.

After going around in circles, about ten minutes later, Hu Siming found his first prey.

It was a humanoid flaming revenant, with a translucent body and faint flames burning throughout. It's just that the color of the flame is obviously impure, and it is full of negative undead aura. To dare to extract it directly is to joke with your own life. It must be filtered and purified by the device to form a pure flame essence before it can be used as a material for advancing heroes.

Right now, this flaming revenant should have wandered from the depths of the Sea of Ashes, looking aimless and without any purpose. It wasn't until Hu Siming approached the range of fifty meters that the breath of the living person made it feel something, and it turned its head to "look".

What's there to see?

With a wave of his right hand, Hu Siming pulled out the dragon-patterned steel sword from the storage compartment, turned on the phase movement and rushed over.

The skill from the hero's equipment caused his movement speed to skyrocket by 16% in the next four seconds, almost approaching 390 points. This figure is really exaggerated. From accelerating to approaching, in less than two seconds, Hu Siming brazenly killed in front of it.

Crimson flames ignited on the sword, turning into brilliant sword light and slashing down.

The molten armor takes effect, weakening the Flame Revenant by 4 armor. The characteristic of the dragon steel sword itself triggers, with a 30% chance to add 10 damage, as well as corrosive poison from enchantment. With the Phase Shoes equipped, Hu Siming's attack power has reached 88 points. After the amplification of the Horn of Divine Destruction, all the damage added up to a terrifying value.

The Flame Revenant's HP of 1250 points was knocked down by a single blow and 111 points!

Without using a skill, I slashed this damage!

What is this concept?

I think that at the beginning, when Hu Siming first stepped into the elite level, the actual damage of the advanced charge + basic attack was only just over 100. And now, just a casual flat slash is equivalent to the damage that was originally added to the skill. Even if there are coincidences and specific factors in it, it is still amazing.

Any elite-level student, unless he has already started to mention the graduate school entrance examination, will change color in front of such an output.

At this time, the strong wind brought by his swift figure had just blown behind the flaming revenant, and a large cloud of gray soot was swaying!

The ultra-high movement speed allows Hu Siming to take the lead without using the skill of charging. This way, this very versatile advanced skill can be saved for interruptions. The Flame Revenant just had such a disgusting skill, and was easily injured by a few sword lights from Hu Siming, and in a fit of rage, it decisively launched the Revenant Fire!

Constant Burning + Silence!

This spell has a subtle cast point that, when cast, deals 20 damage per second to the target for 6 seconds, and makes it impossible to cast spells during that time.

This skill is still quite difficult for a mage student, after all, it is 120 total damage and 6 seconds of silence. But Hu Siming wants to deal with it, so he has more means. Transfiguration and Flame Explosion are both counted as one, and now that the heroic charge has no opening move, he has one more choice.

Seeing the fluctuation of the flames on the flame revenant's body, he was about to raise his hand and throw out a miserable white flame, Hu Siming, who had already investigated the information, almost gave it a charge close to him. Not to mention the interruption of the smooth lì effect, the additional 40 points of damage combined with Hu Siming's basic attack once again played a round of high damage.

Almost every hit is a break of 100 points!

This kind of output and blood loss speed is really pleasing to the eye. Moreover, Hu Siming's 29-point agility and gold hand, as well as the focused special effects of basic melee, also ensure his attack speed. Just as he was about to swing the sixth sword after five shots of the special effect, the flames on the sword suddenly became intense.

Two and a half times the crit!

This storm is really a bit earth-shattering.

The force that destroyed the mière almost directly crushed half of its body, and there was an exaggerated distortion, and the halo of life turned sharply.

232 critical damage!

In the case that many elite students only hit two or three hundred damage when they broke out, Hu Siming had already reached the point of a critical hit of 232 points. Moreover, this is not his peak record. During the days of Golden Hunting Week, with the bonus of the mercenary's Psychic Fire, Hu Siming dealt more than 250 points of Split Fire Slash damage.

You know, that's real AOE damage!

A few hero-level skills with low damage are just that. After the eyeballs fell to the ground in an instant, Shi Niu, Xu Guang, and Yan Shaoou were hit by the cruel reality and lost any temper.

When Hu Siming was lucky enough to hit the second critical blow again after a basic attack, the fate of this flame revenant was already doomed.

With Yan zhòng restrained, it barely posed any decent threat to Hu Siming from beginning to end!
