(ps: I’m so sleepy. Because this chapter involves changes to the Book of Doomsday, I’m just posting it now. I strongly recommend reading the new version of the Book of Doomsday before reading this chapter... I’m so sleepy, ==, what’s the matter?
Let’s talk about the bug tomorrow...)
The bow string vibrated and buzzed, and more than a dozen long arrows flew towards the black-robed mage under the bridge. But a layer of black light appeared out of thin air, swaying like water ripples, pushing these arrow branches aside, and clattered to the ground.
'What a high deflection correction...' Almost every shooter had this thought in their mind, but the mage raised his head slightly, pursed his lips indifferently on the lower half of his pale face, and his eyes were in the shadow of the hood.
in sparkling.
The mage raised his hand, and the translucent eyeballs floating around him suddenly flew up and flew towards the rangers on the stone bridge.
Ying Long felt cold in his heart, and suddenly understood the intention of the black-robed mage: "Those spells won't hurt, don't hide——!" However, the shooters of the Hand of Despair had already retreated to give way. The long dark staff in Xiao Fen's hand was like a
A shadow stood on the ground. The shadow shot out from the tip of the staff and spread up the wall like a vine, entangled at the feet of the dark guard who was giving orders.
"We are in a state of despair!"
"What's going on?" the shooters of the Hand of Despair suddenly exclaimed, but they obviously didn't understand what the ability of the artifact was.
Ying Long was stunned for a moment, because he did not take the initiative to attack Xiao Fen, so he escaped. But the mage did not intend to let this guy give orders just because of this. He waved his hand and let three shadows surround him. The dark guard pulled out
He took out his long sword and slashed at one of the shadows, but a layer of black light appeared on the shadow and deflected his attack to one side, then spread along his arms and wrapped around the neck of the Hand of Despair player.
Xiao Fen lifted up, and the opponent was directly lifted up in the air. The Hand of Despair player kicked his legs in vain and stared at Xiao Fen, but he could only see a pair of cold eyes in the darkness. Those eyes were like
It was possible to penetrate everything about him, look straight into his heart, and let a cold air rise from his back. Ying Long originally wanted to send a signal, but the mage obviously saw through it - he waved his hand to the side, and the captain of the Hand of Despair
He was thrown against the wall and nearly killed.
"Who is this guy..." This was Ying Long's last thought before he fainted.
The rangers reacted and wanted to fight back, but in a state of "desperation" they were unable to even open the composite longbow in their hands. A group of players rushed out of the "Bronze Dragon's Pipe", and stone stones more than ten feet high were thrown.
The bridge was not a problem for these adventurers at all. The four monks stepped on the walls on both sides and flew up, punching away a desperate shooter who was pulling out a dagger from the belt.
The battle was almost one-sided. Although there were level 5 and 6 players on both sides, under the influence of Xiao Fen's "Despair Domain", the strength of the Hand of Despair was completely suppressed, so much so that he was killed one by one before he could even fight back.
uniform.
"happy!"
"Haha, these guys are very weak!"
One by one, the monks dropped the hand of despair rangers who were beaten half to death. They did not care about each other's life and death, and they could not see the kind-hearted side of them when they helped the refugees. However, this is just in line with the virtual world.
Some players are passionate, impulsive, and hate evil. They may not be like this in reality, but here they are knights who fight against injustice.
The team leader who claimed to be Ye Gucheng's friend, a monk named 'The Cat Who Loves Octopus', holding the unconscious hand of despair, rushed down and asked: "Mr. Master, there is a leader here, what's the matter?"
deal with?"
Xiao Fen glanced up. His pale face looked indifferent: "Leave him alone and leave him alone."
The monk immediately let go, and there was a heavy sound of falling to the ground. Everyone couldn't help but look miserable.
The black-robed mage just touched his black crystal staff gently with his fingertips. He was already very familiar with the shadow touch ability of the King of Power. He can control six shadows in total. When operating, he must give orders, and the shadows will continue to use them.
Intelligence serves as a hit modifier, but does not bear the professional bonus of hit modifier. It cannot attack, but can be used to grapple, trip, collide, and deliver contact spells.
This thing is very useful and powerful. The only flaw is that the hit rate is a little low. It is more than enough to deal with low-level characters. However, against characters above level 10, it can only be used to interfere with the opponent or deliver contact spells (contact spells ignore armor.
cover).
He saw a surrounding black ball and five surrounding void balls on the staff. As soon as his eyes made contact, the system prompted that one of the two small balls was the arcana point he had stored during this attack.
One is the Ball of Distortion.
Xiao Fen understood, and turned around while spreading his prying eyes. Ye Gucheng and several high-level players walked out of the hotel. These people looked at the mage with surprise and awe one by one. The swordsman hesitated and asked
Said: "You are Master Palin, right?" These players have almost the same question in their eyes - Shining Gold Coin is now a famous team, and everyone in the team is well known to the majority of players, and the description
The images in it seemed to be exactly opposite to those of Xiao Fen and his party.
When they asked this question, Xiao Fen happened to see Ke'er, Xue and Yun Na walking out together. Yun Na and Xue were discussing something in a low voice, while the elf lady was yawning and looked like she was in poor spirits.
Then Xiao Fen nodded to the swordsman.
There was a low and thin gasping sound among the players. Although they had expected it, it was still a little hard to accept that they really realized that a legendary figure was standing in front of them. It was at this time that the players on the stone bridge
Suddenly he shouted: "The players of the Hand of Despair are here, more than twenty of them!"
Xiao Fen thought, and the Book of Doomsday with silver pages had been opened and floated in front of him. In the eyes of others, the words on each page of the book were wandering and unreadable, but in the eyes of the mage, every sentence and every line revealed arcane magic.
The way. He stretched out his left hand, placed his fingertips on the Book of Doom, and spent an arcane point to extract the supreme bloodline from the Book of Doom.
The supreme bloodline is inherited from the mountain giant, the defender of the earth, Glax. A character with this bloodline can obtain power from the earth. When he uses the power of the earth, he can change the shape of the earth and rocks around him at will (up to
A common usage is to create a large stone fist with 45 strength, which has 10 natural protection, 8 dodge, and 60 hp, or to create a solid stone wall).
"Laws, nature, the way of earth and stone——"
Xiao Fen's mind stretched forward, and the stone slabs under his feet automatically surged, forming an upward staircase row by row, extending all the way to the stone bridge - once the earth and stone steps were formed, they seemed to be completely natural, and there were even
There are also some simple patterns, as if they should have appeared there originally.
"Ke'er, go up and help." the mage said.
"No problem, Captain." Ms. Ranger made an 'ok' gesture, and the person swept up like a shadow. As soon as Ke'er stood firm, she saw a row of war horses at the corner of the street not far away.
The knights in black came side by side. The player in the Hand of Despair pointed his spear at the ground. He held the reins tightly with his hands and controlled the horse, turned around and launched a charge towards this side.
"accelerate!"
"Speed up, speed up!" the leading knight gave the order, more than forty pairs of horses' hooves flew back and forth and hit the ground, and twenty-three war horses came galloping with a rumble and trembling - so much that the dust between the stone slabs rose.
It rose up to form a thin layer of mist, and the stones danced on the ground.
"Soldiers go up first, change their spears to counterattack——!" Ye Gucheng was surprised. He didn't expect that even the knights would be mobilized by the Hand of Despair. Among the Canaan warriors and paladins, once they mounted their horses, they were basically two
A profession, a series of mounted combat specialties make them the best attackers on the open ground, a hundred-foot assault ability, through attack, three times the sprint damage of the lance, trample and group charge synergy bonus,
Definitely every commander's nightmare.
But cavalry is not the favorite profession of large guilds. One sentence can perfectly describe the low cost-effectiveness of this profession: it looks beautiful, but that’s just it. War horses are expensive and not suitable for raising. In Canaan,
Each war horse consumes nearly two silver coins for fodder every day. This alone, not counting other losses, has already discouraged most guilds.
However, the hand of despair threw the pampered knights into street fighting. The swordsman commander really couldn't describe whether the other party was too extravagant or too stupid. Of course, he probably didn't know that Count Weiss had promised to bear the consequences of despair.
Hands on all losses and supplies in the battle, otherwise the latter would not work so hard.
Miss Ranger opened her bow and nocked an arrow, and with the movement of her fingers, she sent three green shadows into the throats of the three knights. Although the knights of the Hand of Despair were wearing heavy armor, their clumsy movements could not hide their weaknesses.
As a thirteen-level ranger, Miss Cole can easily target the weak points in the armor of these sixth- and seventh-level knights and kill them with one blow.
The three knights clutched their throats and fell off the horse. Their weight dragged the horse to one side and then crashed into a house on one side and fell down. Smoke and dust filled the air for a while. But the knights behind jumped over their companions.
The corpses and spears continued to point at the players on the stone bridge. They obviously noticed the threat of the senior ranger Ke'er and subconsciously adjusted the distance and direction of the charge.
"Entanglement!"
The elf lady retracted her long bow and threw a faint green ball of light into the street in front of her. Immediately there was a low roar under the ground, and vines and roots lifted up the stone slabs from below and grew wildly out, entangled and climbing upwards.
They entangled with each other to form a dense bush. The knights of the Hand of Despair crashed into the bush, most of them entangled themselves until they dragged off their horses, and a few of them slowed down and staggered.
The monks were overjoyed at this time. They didn't even need orders and pounced on them. The level of the knight who fell off the horse's mounted warriors had to be doubled, especially when they were still entangled.
Ke'er shot while running to the other side of the stone bridge; she held her hand on the pillar and glanced below, and sure enough she found the expected enemy team at the corner of the street. There were 500 people in each Hand of Despair team, and they were online tonight
It is estimated that most of the 10% are players at level 5 to 7, but there are also sub-powerful players above level 8 among the captains - Hand of Despair has figured out its own communication system in previous wars, so as long as it continues
If there is an information gap at a node, these players who have been honed in war will immediately discover it and organize a counterattack.
From this aspect, the Hand of Despair is definitely a difficult opponent. The female ranger took a breath, and she could almost expect that the opponent would continue to gather in this direction.
She turned around and saw several warriors running up carrying spears and preparing to join the battle. Ke'er immediately waved to those people and made an enemy gesture under her finger.
The news was quickly passed back to Xiao Fen.
The mage had actually seen everything on the four surrounding streets through his prying eyes. He saw more than ten teams rushing in this direction. Ye Gucheng told him that at about the same time, there were seven to eight hotels with their own people involved in the incident.
, but with the enemy outnumbered, Xiao Fen made up his mind to attract most of the attention to his side, otherwise the situation would be quite unfavorable to his side.
The group of players soon appeared on the other side of the bridge.
The black-robed mage immediately pointed forward——
What greeted these players was a huge bone claw that lifted up the stone slab, and then a bone wing more than ten feet long plowed through the soil and stretched out from deep underground. The stone slab and soil rolled down to both sides, revealing a huge bone wing below.
A bone dragon (20hd) with two red beams of light spurting out from its empty eye sockets, and a skeleton as white as ivory crawled out next to it - the skeleton was wearing a set of rusty armor, with a belt hanging on it.
He was holding a long sword that was almost rotten, but there was a burning flame in his chest, like a fiery red heart.
Xiao Fen himself was stunned. He just tried to summon undead creatures with a total value of 30 HD. He originally thought there was a list to choose from, but he didn't expect the system to directly create a bone dragon for him. Of course, there is also the thing next to it -
—
Everyone saw the skeleton waddling over.
"Hello, Master." The skeleton held his somewhat loose chin and replied: "I am your loyal servant - Baron Nunnally Balbacs Mingo Banderas Frodo Cassadine, haha
——" It waved its fingers, "You may think this name is too long, but it doesn't matter. I gave myself a resounding nickname - the bucket waist flies in the palm of my hand! Ha - the meaning of this nickname actually is
…”
Xiao Fen interrupted this guy with a frown. Although he was confused about how the skeleton could produce intelligence, he still said first: "Don't be too busy introducing yourself. I have some enemies that I need you to help me deal with now."
The skeleton looked back and saw the players of the Hand of Despair. However, these players were actually hesitating because a bone dragon had at least 20 HD, which meant that there was at least one necromancer of level 10 or above on the opposite side.
Not to mention that this skeleton dragon itself is not easy to mess with. And the being behind it obviously did not grow up as a vegetarian.
You must know that the two most difficult specialized mages in Canaan are the Necromancer and the Conjurer. Most people would never want to mess with them.
"Ah ha, a bunch of little guys." The skeleton stroked his loose chin and held his chest with a dry hand: "As your opponent, Nunnally Balbacs Mingo Banderas Frodo Casa
Baron Ting, was once a glorious knight of Erathize. But now it is your nightmare. Please call me the death knight 'Water Bucket Flying in the Palm'. Please allow me to explain the meaning of this nickname to you——"
I don’t know why it is always obsessed with this nickname, but the little girl jumped out from behind and interrupted the sentence: "Bone Dragon——!" The little paladin princess pulled out the holy sword indiscriminately,
He rushed out of the hotel with blood rushing to his face.
Yun Na on the side was obviously well prepared. She grabbed her shoulders and spun the little girl around.
"Sister Yun Na!" Sophia felt dizzy for a moment.
"That was summoned by your dear brother Palin." The female mage replied with a smile.
"Ah——!" the little girl cried out, her face suddenly turned as red as a ripe apple.
But at this time, the players of the Hand of Despair saw more and more people coming out of the hotel, and understood that they could no longer wait, and finally couldn't help but launch an attack on the Bone Dragon.
The skeleton of the young red dragon stood quietly in the middle of the avenue. It was a noble dragon in life, but after death it forgot too many things - it forgot its proud bloodline, the magic ability flowing in its blood, and the dragon.
He has the human breath ability, and even forgot how to fly, but he still remembers one thing - the instinct of how a giant dragon should tear apart the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.
The giant bone dragon opened its teeth and launched a counterattack, waving its huge bone claws and waving its sharp bone wings, sweeping away every Desperate Hand warrior who rushed up. Its power of up to 35 makes anyone who dares to get close understand.
What is the absolute gap? A single sweep of the more than twenty-foot-long bone tail spur can avoid all enemies within the radius. If you retreat a little slower, you will be seriously injured.
Ignoring the strange skeleton, the mage directly ordered the skull dragon to give up defense and move forward. With its help, the players in the hotel immediately launched attacks on both wings. Players at levels six and seven were no match for this behemoth, although there were some
The overestimating priest tried to dispel and scolded him, but this was a joke in front of Xiao Fen, who had a dispelling resistance of +6 and a HD of 20.
The Bone Dragon roared forward, while the Hand of Despair could only drop a few corpses and retreat.
This is the gap in absolute power. Of course, at the cost of this, Xiao Fen's upper limit of life dropped by more than 30 points. However, the mage just glanced at the victory that was being achieved, and was not happy at all. In despair,
The Hands are gathering, faster than they imagined. The players of these Hands of Despair always show an amazing side, whether they are underground in Zigurat City or here, they have indeed been honed in long-term battles.
Excellent combat effectiveness.
The black-robed mage raised his head and saw rows of figures marching rapidly in the undulating city area of Thornburg: fighting had broken out in some places, and bright firelight came out from nowhere, reflecting the intertwined shadows against the thick smoke billowing upwards.
silhouette.
Time is getting tight.
He immediately said to the others: "We must get rid of the obstruction of the hands of despair. The nearest inn is the 'Language of White Rose'. We will first meet up with our own people there, and then launch an attack on the monitoring tower in the center of the town.
"
Ye Gucheng nodded and added: "As long as we defeat the supervision tower, we can
