Chapter 62: Luring the Enemy
After seeing the truth of the hunting ritual, it is easy to find that this is not hunting at all, in other words, it can be called guarding Athena and guarding the Sword Pavilion...... Any name is fine, in short, it can't be hunting, but tower defense.
The three statues are the main crystals, which can protect a certain range, that is, the range of the statue's radiance, but it needs to be guarded more, and the mission of the three cities is to ensure that the main crystal can survive the attack of the beast tide.
During this annual tower defense mission, the Three Cities can expand or reduce the area where the statue's light shines in some way, and this envelope can also be transformed into a safe area for the Three Cities to operate in the outside world.
In this area, the beasts will not only feel uncomfortable, but their strength will also be limited by the Inheritance Stone Statue, so as long as they are not extremely hungry, the beasts will not usually invade human territory.
The smaller the range, the smaller the area of activity, the slower the rate of human development, but relatively safe; The larger the range, the larger the activity area, and the faster the human development will be, but with it comes the more difficult tower defense.
The strength of Wei Feng and his party is not strong, after all, the strongest combat power was almost killed by the other party, but it is weak but not weak, when this force can really threaten the foundation of the other party's survival, it is such a force that cannot be ignored.
It was expected that the people of the three cities would make a move against them, Wei Feng had no intention of avoiding it, at least he had to make the other party jealous of his own combat effectiveness, otherwise, the so-called threat would not be established.
Can they really attack the statue? The answer is yes, but it must also be a desperate time, a choice of last resort, Wang Bang can be used at a critical time, or it can be kept in his hands as a deterrent, but he can't be thrown out directly at the beginning.
Once the statues are destroyed, not to mention whether they can survive the hunting ritual, the people of the Three Cities alone will not let them go, and no one wants to see a lose-lose situation happen.
Originally, this was the best policy in Wei Feng's plan, but the other party sent a good policy, which was more beneficial to everyone than making the other party jealous, that is, the other party needed them.
The original plan of the three cities was to send their strongest combat force this year, expand the territory to a large enough area, and the area outside the hunting space where the world was shrouded in the light of the stone statues would also expand simultaneously, and then shrink the defense line when the counterattack arrived next year.
There are two reasons why this approach was chosen instead of gradually, one is that it takes too long to progress gradually, and the other is more critical, which is the issue of upgrading resources, i.e. beasts in the forest.
Beasts are all domain conscious, each with its own hunting ground, the radiant area suddenly penetrates deep into the forest area, even if the beast wants to migrate at the first time, it is difficult to do it, take advantage of this time difference The three cities can take advantage of this opportunity to grab a lot of resources.
The most profitable in this time difference will be the Beastmaster City, not only can they obtain a large number of upgrade resources, but also can carry out a large-scale replacement of the imperial beasts in their hands under relatively safe conditions, and the overall combat power will go to a higher level.
The three cities are originally one, and before the counterattack next year, the three cities will send some soldiers to each other to carry out city defense work, so no matter which city's combat power increases, it means that the overall strength of the human race will increase.
It was originally planned well, who would have thought that such a big and unexpected change would happen, and the punishment city lord who was about to appear in the plan did not appear at the first time, and the strongest combat power in the plan was instantly killed by an enemy of unknown origin, but it became the biggest threat.
It's hard to believe that these changes are happening right in front of your eyes just by a cup of tea.
But it's too late to say anything now, so let's find a way to solve the trouble in front of us first.
Zhou Mingyu took the lead, Wang Ping was deposed, Wang Gong's injuries had not healed, he wanted to charge ahead, the rest of the people followed, and the dog was also mixed in the crowd, but Wei Feng let it return to its normal size, otherwise it would be too conspicuous, and he was worried that too conspicuous would pull away the hatred of the giant bear.
Wei Feng came first, and the arrow passed through half of the battlefield and shot into the wound of the thunderstorm giant bear, and the arrow body was submerged in most of it, only the lone tail feather was still outside, and the painful giant bear roared angrily.
The dozen or so professionals present are all the elite of the elite, and they are also quite tacit in their cooperation, and the thunderstorm giant bear has been created by the punishment city lord when he took the face, so he was involved by a group of royal beasts around him for a while, and it was difficult to get out for a while.
The Imperial Beast and the Chaos Archer are responsible for constantly harassing and aggravating the injuries of the Thunderstorm Giant Bear, and the three Punishment Knights and Zhou Mingyu and others are responsible for saving the scene at critical moments, using charging skills or powerful attacks to interrupt the rhythm of the Giant Bear's attack, so as to reduce the battle damage of the Imperial Beast as much as possible.
Due to the existence of the wound on the back of the giant bear, the chaotic archers can also effectively break the defense, they see the right time to inflict chaos on the giant bear, and wait until the cooldown time of the order shot is over to release decisively, the wound area of the giant bear will be flamed, frost, and electric shock, and the giant bear will be furious like thunder.
The effect of the life potion taken by the Punishment City Lord had been released, and his injuries had recovered, and at this time, a charge came to the waist of the Thunderstorm Giant Bear, ready to attack again.
But he didn't think that the thunderstorm giant bear changed its original tired fighting posture, and its body suddenly became extremely flexible, and it turned around quickly, slapping one claw on the shield raised by the city lord in a hurry, and the other claw slapping down from top to bottom.
With the movement, the thunder around the giant bear's body was thunderous, and the electric light between the claws flickered, and Wei Feng behind him could even see that the wound on its back that was still oozing blood was now lingering with a burst of light, and it was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wriggling flesh buds were visible.
Not good!
At the same time, everyone realized that something was wrong, this bear was actually playing with them, pretending to be invincible to attract the punishment city lord to take the initiative to approach, this is the strongest combat force to take the opportunity to kill them.
Wei Feng and the three archers immediately threw an arrow in their hands towards the wound on the back, eyes, mouth and nose and other vital parts, and the chaotic city lord did not hesitate to take out a uniquely shaped arrow from another quiver, which was also aimed at the huge bear eye, and Zhou Mingyu also threw the spear in his hand.
The four of them's arrows were shattered by the surging lightning before they could get close, and only the Chaos City Lord's sharp long arrow pierced through the layers of power grids and into the eyes of the Thunderstorm Giant Bear.
The bear's eye, which was bigger than an ordinary person's head, was instantly burst open by this arrow, and the arrow was caught in the closed eyelid after inserting it into the eye socket for a certain distance.
"Roar!"
The thunderstorm giant bear was suddenly shot in one eye, and let out a miserable howl, its sound was so terrible and furious that the eardrums of the Punishment City Lord who were close at hand were shattered by this loud roar.
But the giant bear's movements did not stop because of the pain of losing its eyes, but became more violent, before the claws arrived, the thunder arrived first, and the punishment city lord was convulsed by the body of this thunder lightning.
Seeing the bear's paw falling, his eyes were about to split, as long as this slap was solid, even if the armor was hard enough not to turn him into flesh, but his body would be shocked to the bone, he didn't want to die, he didn't want to die at all!
Finally, before the bear's paw was in front of him, a light lit up on his greatsword, it was his strongest skill, Judgment, he didn't know if this skill could kill the Thunderstorm Giant Bear, he just wanted to interrupt the Giant Bear's attack now.
The bear's paw arrived as scheduled, with a crackling sound and arcing, slapping on the light of the Judgment's skill.
The Thunderstorm Bear felt a sharp pain in the bear's paw, as if something was going to break through its palm, if it retracted its palm and counteracted it with thunder, it might be able to take it, but it didn't want to do that, it had to shoot this human to death.
The thunder on the bear's paw surged again, and the thunder and lightning armor attached to the body retracted into its body, and it seemed to condense all the thunder into this palm.
The light of judgment wants to expand, this is the effect of its skill, and the sword-shaped light of judgment expands to the size of the marked target, but this time it can't.
The thunder on the bear's paw smashed the judgment giant sword and smashed it on the shield raised by the punishment city lord, and at the last moment, Zhou Mingyu's spear arrived, and the target of his attack was not the thunderstorm giant bear, but the punishment city lord who had been aiming from the beginning.
If there was no scene in front of him, others would even think that Zhou Mingyu was going to take the opportunity to kill the city lord, but at this moment, it proved the accuracy of his battle instincts.
The spear hit the side of the punishment city lord's ribs, and it flew outward, and the bear's paw fell straight and straight, only hitting the calf part of the punishment city lord, and then it slammed to the ground, shooting a deep pit on the ground.
Seeing this, a punishment knight directly launched a charge, aiming at their own city lord, and his charging skill made him arrive quickly, picking up his own city lord and fleeing quickly.
And because of the stiffness after the blow and the explosion of his right eye, the thunderstorm giant bear couldn't lock the position of the city lord to make up for the knife at this time, so he could only wave his giant claws in anger and tear apart a approaching timberwolf.
There was no time to care about the injury of the city lord, and everyone launched an attack on the thunderstorm giant bear as soon as possible, because of what happened just now, the protective thunder light around the thunderstorm giant bear had converged, and it was a good time to attack.
Fang Ziyuan and Shen Yeqin's two swords stabbed the giant bear's left hind leg, and Pei Hansheng's long sword stabbed straight into a key hole protected by the giant bear's short tail, and also instilled a ball of yuan force inward and exploded directly at the tip of the sword, and Zhou Mingyu could only silently run over and pick up his spear.
Maybe the Thunderstorm Giant Bear was showing weakness just now to lure the enemy, but it was not a manifestation of its lack of confidence, otherwise it would have rushed over directly to chase and punish the city lord.
With the power of the blow it just now, how could a few people be able to contain it.
Under the sudden outburst, the wound on its back has indeed stopped bleeding, and even if it is given another period of time, it will completely recover as before, but it has been abolished one eye, and at the same time, it also exposes its weakness.
This is good news, but at the same time there is bad news, there are not many remaining beasts, and they must rely on manpower to contain them.
At this time, there were only two wolves, a leopard and a ferret, plus a goshawk in the sky, and Zhou Mingyu and the two punishment knights had already consciously added to the containment group.
The arrow in the bear's right eye shimmered, and I don't know what special effect made the wound bleed all the time, even though the bear kept urging the healing ability, it couldn't stop.
According to everyone's judgment, as long as it is entangled for a while, the thunderstorm giant bear will fall into real weakness, and it will be easy to kill it at that time, but now no one dares to bet that the giant bear has the ability to attack with all its strength in the second wave of explosions, so it was stalemate for a while.
Until......
"Roar~" "Hiss~"......
The roar of the beast was heard from all directions, and the hunt began......
"Roar!"
The thunderstorm giant bear also roared, and the attack suddenly became fierce, and there was a faint intention to run out.
"Can't let him run out of the light!"
A loud cry also came from the edge of the battlefield, it was the Punishment City Lord who had woken up at some point.
Previously, he was briefly unconscious in the collision between the judgment and the thunder, and his legs were broken by the giant bear, and his subordinates placed him aside and poured a few bottles of potion and left it alone, now seeing that he has stood up and sprinted this way, it is obvious that the life potion has healed his broken leg.
His voice was a reminder to others, and he was also warning Wei Feng that no matter how smart outsiders were, they didn't know the details of the hunting ritual.
"When it runs to the dark area, it will release all its strength, and it will recover from its injuries, and its previous efforts will be in vain!"
Wei Feng scolded secretly, listen to this, this bear is still limited in strength at this time?
What he didn't know was that under the brilliance of the inheritance stone statue, the giant bear could only exert less than fifty percent of its strength, and if it was all liberated, the body protection thunder armor alone would make them dare not get close, and it would be easier and more pleasant to want to destroy them.
And the reason why the three cities plan to expand their territory this year is that their biggest confidence is also here, the name of the beastmaster hunter is not called in vain, they have many skills that can be used to amplify the beast, so that the beast can exert its strength beyond the body.
The alien beasts that become the Imperial Beasts will not be limited in strength by the brilliance, and with the increase, no matter how strong the offensive is next year, they are confident that they will be able to block it.
The Beastmaster Hunter is actually a very strong profession with a very strong ability to save life, when the hunting team besieged the Thunderstorm Giant Bear, the Royal Beast was close to being wiped out and the Beastmaster Hunter only died in single digits, the key is that one of their skills is called [Sacrifice].
In case of crisis, you can swap the positions of yourself and the beast to resist a fatal blow.
The Beast King City Lord can be said to be both successful and Xiao He, because he has not yet fully controlled the thunderstorm giant bear, let alone using skills to increase the giant bear, he doesn't even dare to let the giant bear exert all his strength, and a lot of mind is used to suppress the giant bear's will to resist, resulting in his inability to effectively save himself when he is attacked.
Wei Feng didn't know this, otherwise he would be extremely glad that his decision was correct.
In the dark area of the periphery, several pairs of dark green pupils looked at the humans in the field, eager to attack.
On the other side, the Punishment City Lord, who had recovered from his injuries, once again aimed at the charge, and the reluctant look in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord flashed, and he took out one of the only four arrows left and aimed it in the direction of Wei Feng, and the bowstring was half drawn, and the arrow was sent over.
He also shouted at Wei Feng: "Next! ”
After this period of fighting, he also saw that Wei Feng's arrows had a strong ability to penetrate defenses, and if the arrow was handed over to Wei Feng just now, it might have penetrated his eye socket and drilled into his brain.
