Chapter 45 The Tide of the Rat People
The player did not notice that the forest was wailing in the distance.
Flocks of birds started up, forming a dense black cloud, and quickly flew towards the north of the forest. Countless animals rushed to escape, including gray wolves and brown bears who had killed countless players!
Looking down from a high altitude, you can see a gray-green tide rushing towards the mine, but on the other side, the players are not aware of the coming crisis!
"What is this? Damn it, why did I die!"
Under the statue of Sister Angel, a group of souls stood dumbly. They were sent back to the cemetery for no apparent reason, and only a few could clearly see the boundless rat nest.
"Quick, hurry up and inform everyone that this main plot won't be about monsters attacking the city!" a player said excitedly.
He and several of his fellow leveling companions were immediately weak and resurrected in the cemetery. They knew that the corpse would not be able to escape. There were all monsters there, and resurrection meant death.
"Everyone, please pay attention. There are a large number of mobs coming here from the south. There are a lot of them. The main plot must have been triggered!" they shouted in unison.
At the same time, the main plot missions also began to warn players. Except for the first batch of players who picked up the main story, everyone else who was in the Jinsha Mine Dungeon received new missions.
【Defend the Mine】
Mission goal: Guard the entrance to the mine for three hours. Rewards will be calculated based on the guarding time. Deaths during this mission will be calculated based on death in the copy. (It will be invalid after leaving the main plot area)
"The main plot has been triggered! Guard the mine!" Almost all the players were excited. This was a plot mission for all players. According to the experience of the previous game world, the rewards for this kind of mission were extremely generous.
At the same time, they also noticed the change in the death penalty. It is only reduced by 1% once you die. Isn’t this an obvious benefit to us?
However, some players who are well aware of the nature of the game world are sneering on the sidelines. Even the death penalty has been weakened to the level of a dungeon. Isn't this clearly telling the players that this plot will be as deadly as a dungeon?
However, they have not retreated. High risk means high reward. With so many players here, can we leave?
"Boom!"
The vibrations were approaching, and the players could feel the strong vibrations. They clenched the weapons in their hands, activated their skills, and nervously prepared for the rat-men's attack.
Soon, countless ratmen came out of the forest, and the next moment they collided with the players.
Although the clan rats are not very intelligent, they obey the orders of the rat monks. The disobedient rat men have long been thrown into underground sewers and starved to death.
But the players rushed forward, fearing that they would lose experience if they fell behind for a while. Their pushing and shouting destroyed the formation, causing the outermost defensive warriors and knights to lose their defensive array.
The players caught in the middle, looking at the surging rat-men, had the intention of retreating, and unconsciously wanted to distance themselves.
In this way, the players' defense has become a mess. Although the slave rats are only level 5 and are not elite templates, logically speaking, they should be the targets of slaughter by the players.
The actual situation turned out to be that a large number of ratmen, waving simple weapons, pushed into the players' array in one wave. Although one attack only cost 15-20 HP, they could not withstand the large number, and the players in the front row suffered heavy losses for a while.
.
The rat men opened the gap, and their petite size immediately came into play. Regardless of whether the rat men around them would be injured, they lowered their heads, raised their weapons and rushed into the gap.
These players were in trouble, not to mention the damage caused by the mobs' melee attacks on cloth and leather armor. They were besieged by several mobs and couldn't even cast spells!
The healers couldn't lift the blood, the soldiers couldn't stand their ground, and the outputs were all running away. The final result was the collapse of the front. The players were suddenly blinded, and they went from swarming up to being defeated thousands of miles away.
"Fuck, this monster has 8 experience points!"
A roar immediately stabilized the players' emotions. What players in Game World pursue in the game world is nothing more than level, equipment, skills and talents, which are forces that directly affect the real world.
To upgrade from level 5 to level 6, it only requires more than 700 experience points. It requires killing more than 200 level 5 mobs. Even if you form a team, it will take more than a day. And right now, a ratman has 8 points.
You can upgrade it when you reach 100.
"The conversion rate is only 1% if you die, what a shame!" A thief turned around and killed a slave rat with a set of skills, shouting: "It's only 180 HP, what are you afraid of?"
When one person turns around, the courage of the players is aroused. If you think about it psychologically, it is only one percent. If you beat the dungeon in one day, you will get many more deaths in the wild!
Human beings are like this. As long as someone takes the lead, there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, there are a lot of players, so why should we be afraid of a group of level 5 ordinary monsters?
When Shen Chen left the dungeon, he saw a scene like this. The players formed a human wall, pushing up as long as it was mail armor, and the remote players in the back row took the opportunity to output. Although the casualties were heavy, the ratmen were still alive.
It can't get any further.
"The Rat Man is digging faster than I thought." Wei An squinted his eyes. It seemed that the Rat Man's actions exceeded his expectations. He thought he would have enough time to return to Goldsmith Town to ask for help, but he didn't want to just
When I released the dungeon, I encountered a rat tide.
"They can't fight like this. The rat-men's war capabilities are not weaker than humans at all. Although they can be resurrected, the losses will be too great."
Wei An could tell at a glance that these players had no command, and the battle was completely chaotic, so that from time to time rat men rushed into the crowd, causing considerable losses.
The defense professions in the front row also don't get good support. Those with full health always have white lights flashing on their bodies, but those with empty health are released in vain.
Shen Chen also took a look at the current situation and suddenly had the idea of taking action.
This scene was much more grand and spectacular than the previous battles in the hills and the Thorn Valley. Thousands of players were fighting to the death on a front line of several thousand meters.
However, in his previous life, Shen Chen had only participated in battles involving four regiments at most, and he had no psychological confidence at all regarding the current scene.
Wei An had the intention of cultivating Shen Chen, and with a movement of his eyes, he issued a task.
【Stability Front】
As a person that veteran security guards admire and favor, in addition to their own abilities, they also need to have team organization and command skills. Moreover, the threat of the ratmen is quickly approaching.
Mission: Command at least 180 players to defend the Jinsha Mine for more than 3 hours.
Reward: A test opportunity for the reserve knight of the Silver Knights*1, 200 points of reputation in the Elvin region, and a Medal of Order*2.
To be honest, Wei An has greatly improved Shen Chen's mission rewards. The initial level of contact with the Silver Knight force is 30, and the first level of reputation is at least 45.
Although it is a test opportunity for the preparatory members and not a direct member, Shen Chen clearly knows how precious the rewards related to the Silver Knight are.
Shen Chen's team template was temporarily replaced with war mode, and several teammates were also transformed into temporary team leaders.
A notice also sounded in the player's log: Tomorrow Neng Xing was appointed by Veteran Wei An as the temporary leader of this battle. All members can automatically join the team and enjoy the War Roar buff of Veteran Wei An.
As the leader of the team that had the first two kills in the Kingdom of Stormwind region, the players were still convinced.
In the past, they were not able to join the group, so naturally they were jealous and said unkind words. But now that they have the opportunity to fight alongside him, this group of humans can only say one thing: "It smells so good."
Besides, there is also a buff that increases attack power. The upper limit of Shen Chen’s team, which is 300 people in 10 groups, is quickly filled up.
Some other players also automatically received the buff to form a team. Most of them are captains of various teams, and some are game masters randomly selected by the world of gods and demons based on their overall strength evaluation.
When they first entered Shen Chen's team, the players all seemed very happy, as if they could be on TV if they followed him. Several female players even made expressions of love, but Shen Chen naturally ignored them.
After taking a look at the team composition, Shen Chen quickly redistributed the team. Some of his friends were also separated, which made many players dissatisfied. However, Shen Chen completely ignored them. You just have to retreat. There are many people outside who want to come in.
He basically allocated 30 people, 6 tanks, and 6 healers. When Shen Chen formed a team, he formed a few more warriors to fight against a large number of ratmen. It was useless to have so much output. The front row collapsed. The back row can only run.
