Chapter 470: The Black Forest (19)
PS: Thank you for the tip!
"Be careful! there's a mutated viper!"
The sound of prompts came and went, and it seemed that not only on Leon's side, but also in all directions, swamp vipers spewing venom and ice silk appeared.
Cheney and Erin immediately cast "Protective Elemental Damage", but this kind of secret method only works on the caster himself, and cannot help anyone else.
And the Sword and Shield Knight itself has basic elemental resistance, the strength of these mutated vipers is not strong, and the elemental attack is not comparable to the lowest level of the official mage's secret method, so Caterina is completely unafraid of this, and the shield slaps out most of the venom and ice silk with dozens of poisonous snakes, even if some splash on the body, it will not be able to cause substantial damage.
Yelena and Boris in the other two directions have a worse protection, but after all, they are all third-order powerhouses, and they each have their own ways to deal with it, even if they take some damage, it will not hinder their actions, not to mention the omnipresent restoration effect of the Glory Banner.
However, at this time, two muffled snorts came from behind them, it was that two mountain people who were assisting in the defense were hit by poisonous snakes and ice silk at the same time, and a small wound appeared on the forearm of one of them, and the toxin invaded the blood along the wound, and soon the color of the surrounding skin began to darken. In the other case, a palm-sized white crystal appeared on his shoulder, which the mountain man smashed casually, revealing a black blue of the same size on his skin.
"The mountain people and elves retreat to the middle, Melissa and Hilarily help assist in the defense!"
Leon then gave the order, and then distributed the accumulated experience to the vanguard guards as quickly as possible.
In this battle, each swamp serpent he killed on his own had less than a hundred experience. The Corrupt Swarm is only three hundred, and the experience shared by companions after killing them has been reduced by more than half. However, the number of these swamp creatures is too large, and the carcasses of venomous snakes have piled up in the vicinity so far, at least in the thousands. The total number of corrupt insect swarms killed by the secret method reached about six or seven hundred, and the combined experience value was nearly more than 200,000, which was the most experience he had gained since his trip to the Bronze Helmet Mountain Range.
But the young man didn't have much joy, but frowned slightly.
"There are still more than 30,000 years left to reach the nineteenth level, and then to the twentyth level, I don't know when I will get it...... It's too late. ”
Leon was a little disappointed, because as long as he reached level 20, he could learn a new class ability, "Roar of Excitement", which could increase various elemental resistances to allies. At that time, these newly emerged mutant vipers will not be afraid, but it is a pity that although the idea is good, the reality is a bit unsatisfactory.
He looked at the still-raging tide of snakes and the ever-increasing number of elemental attacks. There are also those corrupt swarms that are getting closer and closer, and they know that they have to work harder, otherwise the increase in injuries will be a little detrimental to the next arrangement. What's more, there was a vampire girl over there who was looking at him with a grin, as if she had been expecting him to take the initiative to ask for help.
If the distance is pushed one or two kilometers deeper. The sturdy creatures in Cheney's mouth appeared. He would admit it if he offered Fiona to come over and help, and if he asked her for help in this situation...... The young man felt that he could not afford to lose face.
So he interrupted the attack and returned to the rhizome where he could land, and now his "Infinite Whirlwind Slash" has lasted for a few minutes, and after stopping, he is not dizzy or dizzy, and there is no longer the embarrassing "sequelae" that was so embarrassing at the beginning.
Leon lowered his left hand and drew a summoning rune, and Sapa's figure appeared beside him amid the power fluctuations, and a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Haha! It's so exciting. I felt my whole body tremble with excitement!"
"Your sister's ...... It's a war maniac," Leon scolded. Then he immediately said, "Sapa, hold here!"
"Leave it to me!"
These three words were shouted out by the barbarian vigorously, and at the same time, he raised his spear and stabbed forward like lightning, and four shockwaves swirled and surged away, directly piercing through the layers of snake tides and reaching into the distance. In this brief moment, a hole more than ten meters long appeared in the snake tide, and nearly two or three hundred swamp poisonous snakes were completely wiped out by Sapa's blow, and there was not even a scum left.
This scene was watched by Cheney from beginning to end, and although he had warned himself not to be surprised by any subsequent movements of the young nobleman, the tall barbarian who appeared from the power fluctuations of the summoning attribute still made his eyes wide.
“...... Calm down," he said to himself in his heart, "once or twice a gaffe is acceptable, if there is another appearance like this, it will be seen as a joke!"
It is estimated that several other people have similar thoughts, except for the surprise in their eyes, their emotions and movements have not fluctuated much.
At this time, Li Ang had already appeared behind Yelena, looked at the snake tide in front of her and said, "Let me come." ”
Yelena immediately stepped back, and Leon stepped up and unleashed another roar of awe, reducing the size of the snake tide by at least a third before giving up the defensive position back to Yelena.
Leon then passed by Boris, jumped straight from his foothold, unceremoniously activated the Dreadnought Vanguard to crush the snake tide, and then retreated as he swept away the swamp vipers that had swooped around him with a whirlwind slash.
In this way, when the young man returned to the crowd again, the pressure of the snake tide was much less than before, and the venom and ice silk shot from it became very few.
Melissa, who had never expressed herself much, saw the majesty of the regiment commander galloping back and forth in the snake tide, her expression began to change, and she seemed to be a little eager to try such a battle, but she was stopped by Li Ang, who had discovered it in time, and asked her to keep her body and wait for her own instructions.
It can be said that almost all the people around the young man are engaged in the battle, and they have to retain some strength to deal with unknown dangers that may arise at any time, and Melissa, who has high offense and low defense, is the best candidate.
"Cheney, Irene, get ready, the Corrupt Swarm is approaching!"
"I've been ready for a long time, just waiting for your words!", Cheney immediately raised his staff, showing a rare will to fight.
Leon nodded to him, and then took advantage of this time to count the dimensional bags, and found that there were only four oil barrels left. He estimated that he would have to stay in the Black Forest for a while this time, and that he would have to leave two as a source of light and heat for the night, so he couldn't repeat the last tactic.
“...... There are still too few spellcasters around, and there is a chance to absorb some similar professions in the future, even if it is enough to hire a few people from Freedom Wings for a while," Li Ang thought with regret.
In fact, the young man was more satisfied with Cheney's appearance, but he thought that the leader of the hunters should play a far greater role in the free trade zone than keeping him around, so he dismissed the idea of soliciting the other party.
Unfortunately, the matter of recruiting spellcasters can only be said later, the battle with the swamp viper is still going on at this moment, and the distance between the corrupt swarm is getting closer and closer, in addition to Cheney and Erin's attacks, Leon has to think about whether there is any other way to inflict substantial damage on the swarm.
The people in the middle of the field were all watching the approaching swarm, and Luna, the little elven girl who had been watching the battle around her with some worry and curiosity, suddenly said to the elven swordsman beside her: "Se, will these little creatures living in the swamp meet that big guy? Will they fight? Who is more powerful in the fight?"
Leon happened to hear this, and his mind flashed like a flash of lightning, and at the same time, Erin also raised her head, and her gaze fell on the young man. (To be continued......)
