What is displayed in the pale and deep underground at this moment is just two monotonous tones - gray and white. Or coupled with the faint blue shadows shining between the withered forest land.
When the battle reaches a certain stage, it is difficult for the two warring parties to tell each other apart. They are like two giant beasts fighting to the death in the deep forest, trying to use up their last strength to bite through the opponent's flesh.
throat--
The dying man's wailing sound, which he made with all his strength, was transformed into dots of white light, like dissipating embers, together with the warm blood spurting out of his chest.
The crystal monster was pulling out slender limbs and claws from its cold corpse, and the long and narrow blade was smeared with the color of dazzling blood.
But it was then flew out by the deceased's companion, a dwarf, roaring and wielding a battle ax, and was shattered to pieces.
The crystal that lost its color, and the fading magic circles above it, rolled together among the gnarled roots of the withered trees, and no one else cared about it.
Whether monsters fell or humans fell, it no longer mattered at this moment. Scenes like this were happening over and over again in this forest.
The battle has become more intense, or it may be said to be coming to an end.
Fang Plover saw a huge crustacean walking out of the gray forest, like a chalky rock emerging from the sinking lake. Each pair of joints was covered with calcified scales.
The monster let out a shrill scream. He had never heard such a sound before, and even when facing the dark dragon, he had never felt such despair and throbbing rising from his soul.
Before an iron guard not far away could turn around, the crystal spikes spun out of the darkness, grazed the edge of the large shield in his hand, leaving a gap there - and hit the opponent's chest.
So this scene played out in front of Fang Plover.
There was a weird sharp sound, like glass being cut with a knife, and the heavy armor was shattered like paper. The iron guard flew out, hit a tree, and bounced off.
The man seemed to be hanging silently on the gray roots like a rag doll, with blood flowing like a river under the twisted metal, and little white lights glowing on the gray skin like melting snow.
"careful--"
He heard someone shouting at him.
The same scream came again. But he was actually quite safe, because the big cat man was guarding one side, but this time the lion paladin didn't even move.
A bright sword light flashed in the darkness, and the dragon hunter standing on one side unsheathed his long sword. The crystal spike broke in mid-air and turned into crystal powder and fell.
The flexible knuckles of the construct turned the handle of the knife, causing the blade to draw an arc of light and return to the sheath. Everything seemed to have never happened. Fang Plover opened the palm of the metal control glove and moved his index, middle and ring fingers in sequence.
, and then looked in that direction again.
“The response was quick.”
"I've seen this thing attack many times, Mr. Reid."
"It seems like practice makes perfect." The big cat man then pulled out his sword and turned around with the sword in both hands.
But Fang Yu only said: "Cover me, let me try this time."
He made a small fist.
The four dragon hunters all raised the magic guns in their hands. The muzzles of the guns still had a faint red light and residual warmth. The smoke was not gone, and a faint cold light shone on the bayonets.
The huge gray-white creature seemed to finally feel something was wrong. It turned its six jointed limbs and made a thin sound, trying to distinguish these strange similar creatures.
And the next moment——
Sparks bloomed in the darkness, all the way up the monster's chest and abdomen, and the damage numbers jumped out one after another in the holographic projection, gray, like a string of jumping characters.
Following this, the monster retreated continuously, and the mana gathered in mid-air also disappeared. The unformed crystal spikes shattered and fell to the ground.
In the first round of shooting, its calcified shell was shattered, and the huge impact made it almost lose its balance and tilt to one side.
But it still tried to fight back, and the magic circle once again lit up between its claws, and the crystal cone took shape instantly, whizzing away towards Fang Plover. Fang Plover shot out its flying claws in one direction, and rolled itself to avoid that
With a few spikes, he raised his hand and gave the command to fire.
In the second round of shooting, the bullets sent up scattered crystal fragments. This time, his target was no longer the body, but its fragile joints and limbs.
Three of the six bullets accurately hit its jointed limbs, peeling off the layers of thick calcified scales and exposing the inner structure. The third round of shots followed closely, breaking one of its jointed limbs.
The opponent fell down, and the crystal spikes he shot also missed. The dragon hunter pulled down the lever and fired. The fourth round of shooting took away its other arthropod, causing the behemoth to fall heavily to the ground.
It had almost completely lost the ability to move, but it still raised its pincers in an attempt to fight back. However, the fifth and sixth rounds of shooting followed, shattering its large pincers.
After six rounds of shooting, each bullet caused at least more than 70 damage after deducting the hardness of the opponent's shell. And each round of four bullets almost missed the target, totaling more than 1,700 damage.
But after six rounds of shooting, although the opponent looked miserable, Fang Yu knew in his heart that apart from losing the ability to move, it did not damage the core.
The monster screamed and even waved its remaining pincer limb, shooting a crystal spike at Fang Plover. Although the crossbow was at the end of its power, the dragon hunter smashed it to pieces with one swing of his sword.
Fang Lu watched the crystal fragments clattering to the ground, and calmly ordered the dragon hunter to retreat and reload.
At this time, Rhett stepped forward, holding the sword with both hands, and swung the sword down, cutting off the opponent's other pincer limb. He watched the giant crystal pincer fall suddenly, shattering as if it had lost its magic power, and then he spoke
Said something:
"The vitality is amazingly tenacious."
"But you made a very wise choice, little one. It seems like their joints are their weak point."
"To be precise, it's their clumsiness," Fang Plover replied, "They can do both near and far, their defense and attack are equally good, they are tenacious, and they are good at earth spells, but they must have some shortcomings, otherwise it shouldn't be Thirty-Three
A super creature."
He looked at the lines of text listed on his retina. While fighting with the opponent, his experience, knowledge and analytical ability came into play at the same time. With the help of the system, he described the general capabilities of this creature bit by bit.
value--
Although it may not be accurate, it is enough to determine an outline.
"But thanks to seeing you fight with its kind before, Mr. Reid, I can come to this conclusion."
The big cat man smiled and said, "You have a strong learning ability, little guy."
Only then did someone come up to the two of them.
That person was none other than the person who reminded him just now - the poet, Cui Ye. He looked at the disordered guard who had completely lost his ability to move and was speechless:
"Thirty leaves, one thousand five hundred experience points. Darling, I picked this up for free. It's a small fortune."
Although the previous reminder was unnecessary, Fang still expressed his gratitude to the other party at this moment: "Thank you, for the previous reminder——"
"No need," Cuiye waved his hand with deep self-knowledge, "I can also see that the result will not change if I don't remind you."
He couldn't help but take a deep look at the four dragon hunters standing quietly on one side.
"Alien?"
Fang Plover shook his head. Although the Dragon Hunters were special, they were indeed prototypes.
However, he glanced at the other party with some surprise. He knew that there were many aliens, but he recognized the dragon hunter as an alien at a glance, which at least showed that the other party was well-informed.
"That's a new product that I don't recognize," Cuiye didn't ask much, knowing that everyone has their own secrets, and flexible construction is the craftsman's biggest trump card, "It was a tough fight up front, I'll go back and take a look.
The situation on your side."
Fang Yu smiled slightly.
He knew that the previous battle was very fierce, and the Chosen had gone too smoothly in the previous battle, and their counterattack should not go deep into this withered woodland.
If they retreat to the front line of thorns after repelling Crystal's second round of attacks, the third round of attacks may cause them some trouble, but it will definitely not be so tragic.
But people have obviously lost this sense. They chose to go deep into the forest to fight the crystallization, making the last part of the battle a complete mess.
In fact, he is not an excellent commander, but at least he can understand everything that is happening on the battlefield from the view of the Clockwork Goblin.
As for the guy in front of him, he was just talking nonsense - the other person, like them, never went too deep with the others in the beginning. He has been in this area all the time. As for what he said about coming back, just listen.
.
This guy is very shrewd, and he and his team are among the few on this battlefield who have suffered the least losses.
Of course, all this cannot escape Fang Plover's eyes——
Of course, he didn't tell anyone. He had discovered Crystal's third wave of offensive and warned it on the public channel, but people who were so carried away by the victory might not listen to it.
But there will always be smart people.
This is enough.
After the disordered guards fell, the stagnant front here finally continued to advance.
However, Fang Plover did not choose to follow up. He just watched silently as the blue flames gradually faded away, and the chosen ones also crossed the forest from a distance.
Soon, the forest gradually became quiet.
The sound of fighting is gradually fading away, and only occasionally one or two dying cries can be heard. The sound comes from afar and then stops abruptly, adding a strange meaning to the decaying forest.
.
Cuiye looked at the darkness lurking in the forest and shrugged, "Although the fight was a little ugly, it is finally coming to an end."
indeed.
Fang Plover does not deny this.
Looking through the Clockwork Fairy's field of vision - the dots of faint blue flames on the battlefield are extinguishing. There are almost two battlefields in the forest and outside the forest, but the opponent is retreating on both battlefields.
Only the huge and disordered guards were left, still stubbornly resisting.
But these giant crab constructs also fell head over heels.
The chosen people seem to have found a way to deal with them, that is, ritual spells. Although under normal circumstances, the opponent will definitely not give the chosen people a chance to cast spells calmly, but don't forget, there are gray trees here.
With the Gray Treant as a reliable barrier, the chosen ones can cast spells calmly. The cooperation between the two obviously achieves the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
But looking at the other side, Crystal didn't seem to have any intention of further investing in higher-level power, and just allowed the balance to tilt in their direction little by little.
And this confirms Fang Plover's idea. It seems that this is just a test.
But it’s not a good look for the chosen ones to win this battle. After realizing this, I don’t know if the crystal will make a comeback soon.
When does it plan to launch its next attack?
"It doesn't matter whether it's good or not, what's important is that you can win," Cui Wei shook her head, "Being able to win is very important, it means that someone is willing to stay. I heard that 10% of the people who were resurrected chose to stay."
Of course, Fang Yu didn't quite understand how this guy got such good information. The battle hadn't even come to an end yet, and he seemed to have gotten first-hand information.
But this is indeed good news.
The more people who stay, the actual losses suffered by the Chosen in this battle will be much smaller than imagined.
Fang Yu looked at the other party. Although the contact time was not long, he could see that this guy was definitely a loser and said: "By the way, you didn't come to us just to talk about this, right?"
"Of course," Cuiye didn't feel embarrassed at all and nodded directly: "Do you still remember the share they promised? I also brought a proposal to those people."
…
Tian Lan was taking the trouble to tell everyone about her ingenious plan in the battle before.
Although in Fang Yu's opinion, it is indeed quite clever. As a poet, he is destined to not do much in such a battle - the construct does not eat psychic spells, both the enemy and ourselves. Like Cui Ye,
He did not play the role of a poet on the battlefield, but perfectly fulfilled the duties of a regiment leader.
Of course Tianlan does not have such ability, but her fighting skills are more dexterous. She pulled Jita to set up a field-type magic trap on the battlefield, a quicksand swamp. Of course, this spell is usually used to seal roads, because people usually
You're not that stupid to jump into the trap - neither are the crystallized beasts.
But Tianlan used an explosive note to completely solve this problem. Anyone who was close to the trap was blown into the trap by her using this spell. Since sonic spells have a natural restraint ability on crystals, low-level disorder
The minions are almost impossible to resist.
Relying on this little cleverness, she and Jita also killed many people on the battlefield.
However, Fang Yu saw her excitement and was embarrassed to tell her that although this tactic was clever, it was not novel at all. There were masters among the aboriginals who were good at this, and some people had used it in super competition at least ten years ago.
Such skills.
But everything has a beginning, right?
There is no day or night under the ground. The light from the dome shines on this golden forest all the time, but the light outside the window quickly dims, making the surroundings look like it has entered dusk.
"That's the heart of the mountains."
"Or a manifestation of its power," Tang Xin looked in that direction and whispered, "I heard that there is a reason why Crystal does not dare to attack this place easily."
"But it will come eventually." Tianlan stopped and said firmly: "We fought so hard in the previous battle, and it will definitely gain something after testing."
"It's them, not us." Parker muttered and corrected.
Tang Xin looked at the two of them and had no intention of getting involved in the dispute. She just told them the news she had found out - or her cousin.
Fang Plover distributed the spoils, and everyone had a share, including Walnut and the others in the ground.
They gained a lot from this battle. In addition to the heads they got, more came from the commissions from other teams' trophies. Although it was only 7%, compared to the thousands of crystals on the entire battlefield,
From an analysis point of view, this is no longer a small number.
He turned the leaf in his hand and looked at the naturally growing veins on it through the light outside the window - the light passed through the leaf, making the inside appear a faint yellow, like some kind of amber that has grown with the imprint of time.
Cuiye's proposal did not come suddenly. He extended an invitation to him on behalf of the teams that had participated in today's battle, hoping that they could continue to cooperate like this in future battles.
Fang Yu didn't mind making a little extra money, but the other person's words made him have doubts:
"By the way, I heard that you are looking for the Earth Source Crystal. I can help you convince those teams to use part of the Earth Source Crystal in lieu of the reward. I guess they will be very happy, after all, that thing is not valuable here -"
"Of course, it's just now. It will be different in a few days when the support arrives, but I can at least save you a few days, right?"
The other party seemed to have good intentions, but Fang Pliance didn't hear what he said very clearly, probably because of a guilty conscience.
If it were other people, of course, it would be impossible for them to be suspicious of such a sentence, but they were different. Fang Yu had to consider, if he was dealing with such a well-informed person, would the other party discover their identity?
The seriousness of this risk is completely different from the problem they are facing now, especially since Sylvide is still here, he must be cautious.
"Hesitated?" Sylvide stood beside him at some point.
"Well, a little bit," Fang Pliong nodded and sought advice from his smart ship officer, whom he always didn't mind at all.
He sighed: "I originally only considered that it would be very convenient to have a well-informed person here, but I never thought about whether this would be a double-edged sword?"
"But suddenly rejecting the other party now will arouse suspicion, right?"
"This is exactly where I hesitate, Sylvide."
Miss Ship Officer smiled: "What did Mr. Reid say?"
Fang Yu scratched his head in distress, "This is another headache for me. Mr. Reid said that I should let me think about this kind of thing by myself."
"Then the captain still asks for my opinion?"
"Silverde is different." Fang Pliong replied without thinking.
The noble daughter pursed her lips and showed a smile: "I think the captain can rest assured."
Fang Yu looked at her in surprise, "How do you say that?"
"Because smart people will choose smart ways - if it were me, would I easily make this news public? What is the benefit to me? I would find a way to ask the captain for a hush fee. This is only logical.
.”
Fang Plover nodded, that was indeed the case.
"Then what?" he asked again.
Sylvester looked at him with a smile: "Then I will find another opportunity to sell you accidentally and make a second round of money."
Fang Yu almost choked after hearing this, and looked at his ship officer with wide eyes: "Then can you rest assured?"
"Didn't I give you a hint when I first traded with you? I'm only responsible for selling, not for catching you, right?"
Fang Yu finally realized, "But how can we guarantee that he will definitely come to us first?"
"Because this is the optimal solution and the lowest-risk choice. He doesn't need to cause trouble for himself," Sylvide replied with a smile, "So what you need to worry about, Captain, is not that he is too shrewd, but that person
Are you not smart enough? Because only fools mess up everything."
Fang Yu thought for a moment. Although he didn't have much contact with the other party, he felt that the other party didn't look like a fool.
He wasn't completely reassured, but out of trust in his ship officer's mind, he decided to just do it. He might still have some abilities in other areas, but when it came to dealing with things between people, he really couldn't do it.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed.
But to be on the safe side, he asked first: "That's what we'll do?"
Sylvide still shook her head.
"Before, I was standing on the other side's side, Captain. But standing on our side, we have taken such a big risk, and of course we have to seek rewards."
