Chapter 355: Abnormal
Decca's giant whirlwind only lasted for seven or eight more breaths before it dissipated.
Most of the fire crows in the air were unable to erupt flames, and only more than twenty of the strongest fire crows, about the level of level 4 demonic beasts, were left, and they still continued to erupt flames.
Among the crowd, the three people in the inner perimeter lost their ability to defend, so it was the turn of the four swordsmen on the periphery to defend. I saw the four swordsmen burst out, retreated, and held up the big shield diagonally, covering everyone tightly, and using the big shield to defend against the attack of the flames.
After another ten breaths, the remaining fire crows also ran out of magic and no longer erupted flames, and the two sides officially began to fight hand-to-hand.
The four swordsmen on the periphery advanced a few steps, expanding the range of their formation, holding up the big shield diagonally in one hand and the long sword in the other, defending and attacking one by one, very measured, easily resisting the attack of the fire crow.
Ryan in the inner perimeter, just ran out of mana and caused the bronze shield to break, but he didn't actually consume the mana, he just couldn't support the consumption of the bronze shield with the output of mana, and at this moment Ryan still had one-third of the mana left in his body. However, Ryan felt that when the two sides were in hand-to-hand combat, it was better to use the little magic power left to attack the fire crow than to use their fighting spirit.
So, Ryan gave up magic and used his fighting spirit instead, he picked up the big shield under his feet with his left hand, took out the long sword with his right hand, and stepped forward to join the ranks of the outer swordsmen.
Similarly, Dika in the inner perimeter consumed a huge amount of mana just now, but he didn't consume it cleanly, and there was still about half of the mana left, and as a level 6 magician, half of the mana was enough for him to cast a large amount of wind blade magic and kill a large number of fire crows extremely quickly and effectively.
In this way, the five swordsmen on the periphery defended with large shields, attacking the approaching fire crows with their sword blades, while the inner Decca used wind blade magic. Warwick used his bow and arrows to fight hand-to-hand with the fire ravens.
Flocks of fire ravens are numerous. But once close to the defensive formation where everyone is not large, only twenty or thirty fire crows can fight hand-to-hand with everyone, and the rest of the fire crows are all blocked by their companions' bodies, and can only be used as a backup to supplement the gap left by the killed fire crows.
The reason why the fire crow swarm is called the most reluctant magical beast in the lava crypt by explorers is that they can fly in the air and move very dexterously, and the average swordsman has few means to deal with the fire crow flying in the air. In addition, the fire raven has a short temper and will follow others once they get into a fight. Fierce and not afraid of death. Many explorers died under the claws of the fire crows, killed by the desperate attacks of the fire crows.
However, today's doom of the fire raven flock arrived, and the expedition team they encountered was not an ordinary expedition team, it can be said that it is the most powerful expedition team in recent times. Therefore, even though the fire crows relied on a large number to besiege Ryan and the others. Still can't help everyone.
In a short period of time, half of the fire ravens were lost, and only a hundred or so fire ravens remained attacking. And the price paid by Ryan and others is very small, almost negligible. They were just five swordsmen on the periphery, each with several minor skin wounds.
After fighting hand-to-hand with the fire crow for a long time, the swordsmen on the periphery were very experienced, and when the fire crow pounced on the attack, they used a large shield with their left hand to block the body of the fire crow. Then swing the long sword with his right hand and slash at the approaching fire crow, and he can easily split the fire crow in half.
However, no matter how many swordsmen on the periphery killed, they didn't add up to as much as the magicians and magic archers in the inner periphery. There is no need to defend the inner encirclement, and all the attacks of the fire crow are blocked by the outer swordsmen, so the two of them just need to let go of their hands and feet to attack as much as they want.
The fighting continued. The number of flocks of fire crows is decreasing. After a few more moments of fighting, there were only thirty or forty of the fire ravens left.
At this point, the fire crows were finally scared, and it was usually said that the fire crows were short-tempered and not afraid of death, but that was when they had the upper hand. At this point, they were gone, and if they continued to fight, they would only be wiped out, so the remaining fire crows began to turn around and fly away.
The fire crows wanted to escape, but Ryan and the others naturally wouldn't let them go, how could everyone easily let go of the fire crows after being besieged for so long?
So, as soon as the fire crow group turned around and fled, the five swordsmen on the periphery immediately threw away their big shields and chased after the fire crow group, while constantly using their blades to attack the slow flying fire crows, and then some fire crows were chopped down by the sword blades.
Warwick also ran and chased after him, shooting his magic arrows a little faster, as if trying to use all the remaining fighting energy.
The most exaggerated of all is Dika, who uses his magic to soar into the air, casting a wind blade far in the air to attack the slow-flying fire crow. Dika is a level 6 wind mage, so he can perform the wind saloon that only a high-level wind mage can perform below level 7 mage, and attack the fire crows in the air. Of course, Dika couldn't fly in the air, just in the air, otherwise he would be left alone with a flock of fire crows who wanted to escape.
In the face of the attack from behind, the fire crow flock flew desperately, and they wanted to grow two more wings. But to no avail, many of the slower-flying fire crows were shot down by the crowd.
In the end, only a dozen fire crows relied on their fast speed and finally escaped from everyone's pursuit and flew away.
In this battle, the fire crow flock suffered heavy losses, there were two or three hundred of them when they came, and in the end only ten were left alive. Encountering the super powerful expedition team of the third prince Mo Fen, this group of fire crows is very miserable.
After dealing with the fire crow group, everyone felt tired, although the battle time was short, everyone did their best to exert all their magic power. In particular, Ryan and Decca consumed a huge amount of mana, so they took out the magic crystal nucleus to recover their magic power as soon as possible, and Warwick, the magic archer, also consumed a lot of fighting energy, he sat down and immediately recovered his fighting energy.
The four swordsmen didn't consume so much fighting energy, and this was not the time to recover their fighting energy, so they reaped the spoils of this battle while guarding the three people who were recovering their magic power.
All around everyone, there were densely packed with the corpses of fire crows, especially where everyone had just set up to meet the enemy, and the fire crows were piled up like a mountain. The blood of the fire ravens stained the pale yellow lava floor, as well as the clothes of the people, which was very uncomfortable.
The fire raven is one or two feet long, with a huge mouth and sharp claws, all of which are magical beast materials that can be sold for money. But the third prince, Mo Fen and the others didn't look down on these materials at all. Of course, Warcraft materials can be sold for a few bucks, but their relatively large size, coupled with the number of more than two hundred, can occupy a space that can fill all of everyone's magic storage bags, so everyone naturally won't want these Warcraft materials, as long as the fire spar in the body of the fire crow.
After a long time, the four swordsmen worked together, and as a result, they dug up nearly three hundred mid-level fire spars, of which twenty or thirty were very good quality mid-level fire spars, which were obtained from the body of a level 4 fire crow. The price of selling the mid-grade fire spar is not expensive, but with such a large quantity, it can also sell a large amount of gold coins, and everyone can be regarded as making a small profit.
All the fire spars were handed over to the third prince Mo Fen for safekeeping, the third prince Mo Fen was the leader of the expedition team, and the magic storage bag on his body was the largest space, plus his noble status, others were not worried that he would swallow it privately.
Subsequently, the four swordsmen also began to rest and recover their fighting spirit, and this battle was also a huge drain for the swordsmen.
…………
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the expedition team stayed on the third floor for three days, and during these three days, the expedition team faced many attacks from demonic beasts, and almost every day, five or six groups of demonic beasts came to attack them, and there were several groups of demonic beasts composed of all high-level demonic beasts. Although they were tough, and every time they killed the invading demon beasts without danger, so they got a large number of fire spars, but after many times, everyone in the expedition team felt a little exhausted.
"Not quite right! This third layer is a bit unusual. Ebony, the only member of the expedition team with experience in lava crypt exploration, said suddenly.
"Oh! What's out of the ordinary? Everyone focused on Ebony, and the third prince Mo Fen frowned, and then asked.
"I feel that the demonic beasts of this third layer seem to have become a lot more irritable, and they attack people as soon as they see them, as if they are not afraid of death. And there are a lot more high-level Warcraft, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be so many high-level Warcraft in the third layer. Ebony said calmly, although he said the abnormal situation, but in his expression and words, there was no fear at all, obviously with his strength as a level 6 swordsman, he was not afraid of these abnormal situations.
"Haha, the third layer of demonic beasts is so difficult to deal with, it is much more difficult than the description in the information, I thought it was a mistake in the description of the information, but I didn't expect that it was indeed a problem with the third layer." The third prince Mo Fen smiled and said, his expression relaxed, not worried about any threat at all.
The others nodded, agreeing with the idea of the third prince Mo Fen, indeed, everyone who had come to the lava crypt for the first time in the past few days had this idea.
"Come on! Let's take a break and discuss what's going on on the third floor? The third prince Mo Fen greeted, and everyone found a lava prism nearby and sat down on the spot next to it.
Immediately, everyone began to discuss enthusiastically.
"How come there are so many high-level demonic beasts in the third layer? From somewhere else? Or has it increased during this time? ”
"I think that high-level demonic beasts come down from the fourth layer, and the demonic beasts of each layer are not fixed, and some demonic beasts that like to run around often run to other layers."
"But under normal circumstances, it is impossible to run up so many high-level demonic beasts, there must be something wrong with it, so that high-level demonic beasts can run to the third layer."
"There shouldn't be any problems on the third floor, we've been on the third floor for three days, and we've walked a lot of places, but we haven't found anything out of the ordinary."
"I think there should be something wrong with the fourth layer, which caused many high-level demonic beasts to run to the third layer, and then the battle increased, causing the demonic beasts on the third layer to be very irritable."
……
The biggest feature of the expedition team of the third prince Murphy is that the third prince Murphy never puts on a show, and everyone has equal status, so in the discussion, everyone speaks freely and tells their own ideas, so they can analyze the problem thoroughly. (To be continued.) )
