Chapter 354: Fire Raven Swarm
The third layer of the lava crypt is the layer with the most magical beasts, but also the most dangerous. Of course, for some powerful expedition teams, it is also the most rewarding layer.
In the first and second layers, because the level of Warcraft is not high, there are only low-level Warcraft and a small number of middle-level Warcraft, so many expedition teams that are not very strong come to hunt Warcraft, resulting in the number of Warcraft in the first and second layers is not as much as that of the third layer.
The fourth layer is the main activity area of high-level demonic beasts, which are superior in strength, with a large activity area and a relatively small number. Therefore, the expedition team that entered the fourth layer had to keep looking for traces of the demonic beast in order to hunt the demonic beast.
The third layer is an activity area dominated by a large number of intermediate-level Warcraft, especially those Warcraft that live in groups, with good strength and a large number, resulting in exploration teams that do not have a certain strength not daring to enter easily, so the number of Warcraft on the third layer is relatively large.
The expedition of the third prince, Mofen, entered the third layer after a night of repairs.
In the lava crypt, there is no day or night, only the eternal twilight of the world. Therefore, the expedition team can only camp and sleep according to their own biological clocks when they are tired. The Third Prince Mo Fen and the others were very experienced, and the various protective measures and props, coupled with the multiple magic storage bags they all carried, made their adventure very easy.
But as soon as they entered the third floor, their comfortable days came to an end, and their luck began to take a turn for the worse.
The demonic beasts of the third layer are different from the first and second layers, in addition to their strength, they are also much bolder. On the first and second floors, some Demonic Beasts, even several groups of Demonic Beasts, would immediately run away when they saw an expeditionary team of many people.
to the third floor. The monster alone is okay, and it doesn't dare to make an act of looking for death. Several or more hordes of demonic beasts. They were much bolder, and when they saw Ryan and the other seven-person expedition team, they also dared to rush over. Of course, their fate can be imagined, and they can be easily solved, becoming one of the gains of Ryan and others.
After only walking for half a day, the expedition team solved several unsightly magical beasts, which was very easy, and Ryan even once had no time to make a move, and the four demonic beasts that came to attack were easily solved by his partner.
Suddenly. Keep the array on alert as the expedition team moves forward. I found a dark cloud floating in the air tens of meters high in the distance.
"It's not good, it's a flock of fire crows." The middle-aged swordsman Ebony shouted.
Among the expedition members, Ebony had been to the lava crypt before, and the others were first-time visitors. Therefore, the experience of ebony is very important.
Hearing Ebony's shout, Ryan was slightly stunned, he had seen the introduction of the fire raven when he checked the lava crypt data before.
Fire Raven, a fire attribute level 3 Warcraft, a few more powerful advanced to the level of Level 4 Warcraft. As the name suggests, fire crows are emitted from their bodies, and their main means of attack are claws and huge mouths, and they are not powerful magic. It will only attack with flames erupting from its mouth. Of course, the number of times is limited, and after only one or two flame attacks, the fire crow will run out of mana in its body and can only attack with its body.
Fire Raven is not strong in a single strength among level 3 Warcraft. They are one of the most powerful monsters, but they are notorious because they are extremely hot-tempered, they like to attack other people and monsters, and more importantly, they like to live in groups, dozens or hundreds of them. A single fire crow naturally poses no threat to explorers and other monsters, but a swarm of fire crows is a nightmare for explorers and other monsters.
It can be said that in the lava crypt, the last thing explorers want to encounter is a group of demonic beasts such as the fire crow swarm. Many expeditions have been defeated or even wiped out, which is the masterpiece of the fire crow flock.
The third prince Mofen's expedition team was very unlucky, they didn't expect to encounter a flock of fire crows, but they never expected to encounter it as soon as they entered the third layer.
"Everyone's array!" The third prince Mo Fen snorted softly, but there was no anxiety in his voice, as if he usually spoke so casually.
Everyone moved at once.
I saw the magician Dika take out five large shields the size of a man from the magic storage bag and throw them on the ground in front of him.
The four brothers, the third prince Murfin, Ebony and Stofslav, quickly picked up a large shield, formed a circle around the perimeter, and held the shield high to protect the people inside.
Since the beginning of the expedition, the third prince Murphy has completely abandoned the noble status of the prince, completely disposed of the royal posture, and purely regarded himself as an ordinary member of the expedition team, which made Ryan deeply admire.
Ryan also picked up a large shield, but instead of going to the perimeter to defend, he put the big shield at his feet, took out his magic wand, and with Dika and Warwick, the magic archer, in the inner perimeter with his back inward and outward, ready to fight.
This is the strategy formulated by the third prince Mo Fen before, when encountering a large group of demonic beasts, Ryan first fights with magic in the inner perimeter, and when the magic power is almost consumed, he will fight with Douqi sword skills. Therefore, the big shield at Ryan's feet is a defensive tool that will be used later.
"Ahhhhhhh......h
The extremely ugly cry of the fire crow came first, and immediately made everyone's ears feel uncomfortable. Immediately, the overwhelming fire crows came in an instant and flew in front of everyone.
Ryan estimated that there were many fire crows, as many as two or three hundred. Ryan's face was a little ugly, and the number of fire crows was far more numerous than he had imagined, which caused them even more pressure. Although everyone in the expedition team has super strength, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents in this kind of situation in the face of a large group of demonic beasts. But at this moment, there is no other way but to fight desperately.
"Up!" Ryan snorted lightly, and the level 4 magic bronze shield that had been prepared for a long time appeared out of thin air on the outermost part, and the cover-like magic enveloped everyone.
It hadn't been long since Ryan became a level 4 magician, so he only learned a level 4 magic, the Bronze Shield. The name of the bronze shield claims to be bronze, but it does not mean that this shield is bronze, the essence of the magic of the shield is still the earth element, and the reason why it is called the bronze shield is only to describe its defensive ability can be compared to a shield made of bronze.
Ryan consumed a lot of mana and a lot of preparation time in order to expand the enveloping range of the bronze shield. Fortunately, the arrival of the fire raven was not so fast, otherwise Ryan would not have had time to cast such a large area of bronze shield in the middle of the battle.
"Attack!" At the moment when Ryan's bronze shield just appeared, the third prince Mo Fen shouted. Immediately, everyone immediately unleashed the attack methods that had been prepared for a long time.
The four swordsmen hiding under the protection of the big shield on the periphery waved the long swords in their hands, and all of them cast a blade more than two feet long, shooting towards the dense group of fire crows, and in the blink of an eye, four fire crows were split in half by the blades and fell from the air.
The defensive ability of the fire crow at level 3 is not strong, so the swordsmen do not need to consume too much fighting energy, the blade is more than two feet long, which is enough to tear apart the body of the fire crow, and the sword blade that is too long is a waste of fighting energy.
Warwick, the magic archer, hunted the fire raven very quickly, and saw that he held a bow in his left hand and kept taking arrows, drawing bows, and shooting arrows from the quiver around him with his right hand, with an average of two arrows in one breath. Warwick is a fire-based magic archer, and his fire-based magic is not very lethal to fire-based monsters, so he only uses fire-based magic to increase the rate of fire, and kills fire crows with the lethality of ordinary iron arrows. In just a few breaths, seven or eight fire crows were hit by arrows and landed.
Among the people, the most efficient in killing fire crows is naturally level 6 magician Dika, who has been preparing a group of wind blades for a long time, and immediately cast them, and suddenly twenty or thirty fire crows fell from the dense group of fire crows. Dika then unleashed the Wind Blade, killing the fire crows that couldn't dodge.
The fire crows did not stop acting as targets, and as soon as they approached them, they surrounded them in all directions. There were too many of them, and although dozens of them were killed by the crowd as soon as they got closer, there were still more than two hundred. After the encirclement was completed, all the fire ravens erupted collectively in a very tacit understanding. Suddenly, a huge flame enveloped everyone, and the whole scene was like hell.
Flames erupt as soon as they engage in hand-to-hand combat, which is the most common attack method used by fire ravens, and they must erupt all flames before engaging in hand-to-hand combat with enemies.
Seeing the overwhelming flames, everyone's faces changed greatly, but fortunately, Ryan used the bronze shield as soon as possible. But how could a single bronze shield withstand so many flame attacks?
Ryan is desperate, he continues to output magic power to supplement the large consumption of the magic power of the bronze shield, but judging from the current situation, no matter how hard Ryan is, at most he will delay the time when the bronze shield is broken.
Fortunately, Ryan was not alone in defense at the moment, and the other two people inside were also defending with all their might.
Warwick took out a magic arrow with ice magic, and continued to shoot more than ten arrows in all directions, as soon as the ice magic arrow encountered the flames, it immediately exploded, extinguishing a large area of flames at once.
Dika played an even bigger role, as a level 6 magician, he unleashed a giant whirlwind that swirled around the outside of the bronze shield, enveloping everyone in the center of the whirlwind. Suddenly, a large number of flames were blown by the whirlwind, changed direction, and scattered to other places.
Next, one side was three people working together to defend, and the other side was a collective eruption of flames from two hundred fire crows.
At the beginning, the magic defense of the three of them was not weaker than the attack of the flames, but they quickly fell into disadvantage, and as the flames continued, the disadvantage became bigger and bigger. After all, there were too many fire crows, and their magic power was far more than three people. The defense of the three was only delayed for a while, and it was only a matter of time before it was breached.
Soon, twenty breaths later, Warwick's ice magic arrows ran out, Ryan's magic power was exhausted, the bronze shield shattered and dissipated, and only the most powerful Dika was left to maintain the whirlwind defense, and it seemed that he could not hold on.
At this critical moment, everyone's luck came, and many of the fire crows in the flock began to run out of magic and no longer erupted flames. (To be continued.) )
