202. Hunting ground
"The days are long and the nights are short, and the summer rains are like this, this is a magical item made from the ice of the Styx that you bought."
Duncan showed the two of them the black ice bead and handed it over. Just looking directly at this crystal black ice bead is as if you can feel the chill from your soul to your spinal cord.
In the live broadcast room, the audience saw the black ice beads, and a curious barrage floated by: "Brother Deng Deng, when will you make this kind of magical item?" These black ice beads are so beautifully rendered, what's the use? ”
Duncan sighed to the audience in the live broadcast room and the two people in front of him:
"The game "Dawn" is really not ordinary."
He unhurriedly introduced:
"In the beginning, I just wanted to make some more [Northland Ice Skewers] - after all, this is the most useful of the magical items I have mastered so far. It's just that the Styx ice, which is more common in the underworld, replaces the original blue ice material, the Heart of Winter.
"Unexpectedly, because of the different materials used, the final finished product effect is completely different!"
As he spoke, Duncan gently tossed the black ice beads, and then let the cold beads fall back into his palm:
"This kind of ice bead, I named it [Wailing Pearl], the principle is the same as the ice crystals on the [Northland Ice String]. As soon as you throw it hard, the bead will explode on its own, unleashing all the magical energy in it to create a storm of ice.
"The difference is that the Wailing Pearl carries a lot of resentment in the River Styx. When exploding, the external physical destructive power is far inferior to the ice crystals of [Northland Ice String], but it can emit a scream similar to that of a wraith, directly inflicting damage on the soul and psychic level, and has a short-term stun and deterrent effect. ”
Hearing Duncan's introduction, Xia Yu also became excited, with a sparkle in his eyes:
"Wow, isn't this ice bead much cooler than the blue and white ice crystals before? Isn't the control plus psychic damage much higher than the sound of Ice Aoe? Duncan, how many Wailing Pearls have you made now? ”
"Due to time constraints, I've recruited a few helpers who have specialized in [Making Strange Things], but I've only made 10 of them. Each Styx Ice can be used as a material to make one, and there are currently 20 Styx Ice left in the guild. Duncan replied.
"This one-time attack item is purely consumable. How are you going to arrange them? "The day is long and the night is short.
Duncan smiled, as if he had already made arrangements, turned around, and faced the four skeletons behind him:
"I'm going to have the skeleton carry a few ice beads as a magic grenade. As for the remaining ice beads, they were handed over to the members of the Cosmic Mysteries Guild before the battle. ”
Let the deployment use magical items, it is indeed a good idea, worthy of the future archmage······ Day and Night Short smiled and nodded, approving Duncan's arrangement.
"Prepared enough, find a suitable time, you can start the expedition and counterattack the camp of the Black Crow Marauders in the area of Coal Mountain." Duncan laughed.
Seeing that the days were long and the nights were short, he said solemnly:
"There is no need to rush to take revenge on the marauders, and it is more important to go to Bell's vault bunker in comparison."
Xia Yu also echoed again and again:
"Yes, yes, Duncan. As I told you before, we found a Mithril Golem in the Plane Mall, and my sister estimated that it was an important quest item that had to be bought within a month. Now there are only about 20 days left. ”
Duncan smiled bitterly and scratched his head:
"The problem is, Bell's vault fort has been quite heavily defended. When the defence will relax is completely unpredictable. In contrast, the Marauder stronghold stationed at Coal Hill in the near future, at least recently, should not move. ”
The days are long and the nights are short, and I know the problem, so I helplessly bowed my head:
"Let's wait a little longer, we really can't find a chance to relax the defense of the vault fortress, so we can only grieve the sunset mark and let him sneak in with more guards."
"Didi!" While the three were talking closely, a new message popped up in Duncan's chat box.
Duncan unhurriedly opened the chat box, looked at it intently, and suddenly became happy:
"Great, the player scout I arranged just sent a message - most of the devils have been removed near Bell's vault bunker. Now around the vault bunker, the main defenders are just a group of devil soldiers in their early 20s on average. Not even a single high-level devil can be seen! ”
The defense forces near the vault bunker were withdrawn so much at once? I was a little stunned by the length of the day and the short night, and I didn't understand the reason for it for a while, so I glanced at Xia Yu.
"Sister, I think it's because the alert state caused by our last invasion has ended." Xia Yu thought for a moment and came to his own conclusion, "I'll just say, in the game "Dawn", after the NPC fortress is invaded once, although it will enter a state of alert as a punishment. But the state of alert can't last forever! ”
"But······ Even before we entered, the defense of the vault bunker would not be so lax····· Could it be a trap? I was a little skeptical about the length of the day and the short night, but I immediately made up my mind again, "That's it, it doesn't matter if it's a trap, anyway, we players can be resurrected if they die!" ”
Duncan stared at the messages that continued to be sent in the chat box, his eyes became more and more stunned, and he said in surprise:
"The updated news is here, several teams of armed humans suspected of being the Black Crow Marauders are entering the vault bunker one after another!"
"What are the Crows doing there?" The long days and short nights became more and more strange, and I thought of Bell's subordinates who had purchased a large number of crafts and gems before, and vaguely felt a bit of a stormy atmosphere.
Could it be that Bell is plotting some great conspiracy?
Duncan didn't care so much, but was quite excited by the news from the scout:
"I'm going to send a message to Sunset Nick, the other guild members, and all interested players. Let's set off right away and drive to the vault bunker! ”
As he spoke, Duncan picked up the glass bottle containing the viscous liquid and shook it slightly:
"This time we have a killer feature, and we can even think about -
"Attack!"
···············
Below the horizon, ambient light was constantly diffused, as if illuminated by nine sunsets, but there were no actual objects in the sky, and the entire sky was bathed in eternal twilight, with the occasional meteor streaking across and bombarding the ground. The atmosphere was filled with the stench of sulphur and burning tar, and the scorching winds blew through the Hell, whipping up huge sandstorms and obscuring the sky from the swarms of insects of the Hell.
Looking at the wasteland, which was indistinguishable from the surrounding Hell Wasteland, Siefel asked:
"Is this the place where you're going to hunt the mysterious angel?"
The blood-eyed man standing on Syphier's right is the embodiment of Bell in his humanoid form. In the face of the lord's question, the corners of Bell's face and mouth rose slightly, and he said quite confidently:
"Exactly. We've got everything in place. ”
To the left of Siefer, Ram, a huge personal guard nearly five meters tall, stared closely at Bell below him. Seeing the enemy who had sealed him, Ram's expression was also quite complicated. But because of the task, I didn't show it.
Bell noticed the hostile gaze looking at him, but as if he didn't care, he just raised his head and smiled at Ram:
"Long time no see, Ram. I heard that you became the personal guard of Lord Sephiel. When I saw it today, I was really congratulated. ”
Ram snorted coldly and did not respond.
Ignoring the smell of gunpowder in the air, Siefel turned to check the configuration of Bell's group.
Behind the three of them, there were more than 20 strange-shaped devils, some with majestic horns like bulls, some with goat horns on their heads, and humanoid devils with bat wings and blood-red tails, as well as huge monsters covered with red carapace and beetle-like devils covered with ice carapaces.
Despite their different appearances, Sifer glanced at them and could be sure that all of them who came here were high-level devils of at least the sixth order.
In addition, the only two remaining ninth-order devils directly under Bell, the glamorous and dangerous corrupt general and the dusk general wearing silver-white plate armor, were actually also present.
In order to hunt the mysterious angels, Bell actually summoned so many high-level devils. That's an exaggeration, isn't it? If I hadn't known in advance that he was planning to hunt the mysterious angels, I would have suspected that he was preparing to attack the lord's castle. A hint of surprise flashed in Siefer's eyes.
Of course, even if this group of powerful devils wanted to attack the lord's castle, there was no need to act under the nose of Sifel.
Could it be that Bell's real goal is to hunt me? An idea immediately popped up in Siefer's mind.
But immediately, he reasoned a little more and dismissed the idea.
Unbeknownst to Bell and the other devils, the Seafield in front of him was the main body. He came here in name only, but he was only an incarnation, and his body was still in the lord's castle. What's the use of capturing the incarnation of Siefer?
