Most of the people who came to practice this time had no actual combat experience. Ding Kui's shout still had a certain effect. Several magicians wanted to attack the magic rats that climbed over the low wall.
The mighty swarm of rats crossed the low wall, divided into two parts, walked around the fire, and headed straight for the high platform without any intention of stopping.
Only the high-level magic rats stopped. Their stone bullet skills were mainly used to intercept magic, and the extra ones were used to attack high platforms, without caring about the melee professionals below.
Ding Kui was the first to rush forward and wave "Yue Shang" to help intercept the stone bullets flying up the high platform.
He was selective, only blocking the stone bullets sprayed by level 3 demon rats, but not touching the ones sprayed by level 4 demon rats at all.
The four Blade Knights on the stage stepped forward to intercept, and the remaining five trainee knights did not move. It was not that they did not want to help, but that they were indeed not strong enough.
This kid can really resist the magic of level three monsters, no wonder he can defeat the Fighting Blade Knight.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Qin Zhao turned his head and glanced, a little surprised at Ding Kui's strength.
Seeing that the demon rats were only ten meters away, Feng Liang shouted: "Raise your sword and strike!"
Two red sword rays flew out against the ground, and the snow on the ground drew two straight lines. The demon rat that was facing him was immediately split into two halves, and the sword rays remained unabated and chopped over one after another.
Four or five ordinary magic rats.
The demon rat at the front has already come into contact with the most cutting-edge melee profession.
There are often seven or eight demon rats that pounce on a person, and the areas below the chest of the attacked person are the targets of the demon rats' bites.
Wang Bo stood at the forefront of the southern defense line, swung the shield with his left hand, and four or five demon rats were sent flying; the short spear in his right hand drew a curve from bottom to top, and three demon rats were lifted into the air.
"Huh!" A long ax was slashed from Wang Bo's side. The two demon rats that rushed towards him were chopped into two halves. The warrior behind him did not move slowly at all.
The only shield-breaking knight in Qin Zhao's team stood side by side with Wang Bo. The long saw-like sword in his hand was not replaced. It was dancing with red light in the air. The demon rat statues took the initiative to bump into it and decomposed in the air.
The first batch of demon rats that pounced on them did not escape the fate of being killed instantly, but the second and third batch of demon rats kept pounced on the humans they could see.
Since the frontal impact was blocked, demon rats began to circle towards the east and west sides of the high platform, and some high-level demon rats also turned to those two directions.
"The magicians and archers on the east and west sides will give priority to attacking the high-level magic rats." Ding Kui realized something was wrong and followed a third-level magic rat to the east.
Because the people guarding the east and west sides are trainee magicians, and they don't know how to use elemental magic shields. Once they are attacked by stone bullets from high-level magic rats, they will definitely not be able to stop them.
The five extra trainee knights on the stage could only block a few stone bullets from high-level demon rats, but they could not protect the magician.
Ding Kui ran to the east and said to the trainee knights on the stage: "You guys go down and bring up some fighting blade knights."
Fortunately, the fighting blade knights on the east and west sides were relatively free and successfully retreated to the high platform, taking on the important task of protecting the magician.
"Bang", Ding Kui just happened to catch up when he came to the east, and a stone bullet flew away. The aperture on his sword was already full.
Ding Kui was not in a hurry to use the white sword light because there were too many people around and he didn't want to use this move prematurely. He also wanted to see what was special about the "Yue Shang" with its full halo of light.
With a "clang", Ding Kui knocked away another stone bullet. This time he didn't use his fighting spirit. The aperture on the sword was full, so it was a waste to use it. As a result, he blocked the magic of the third-level monster without much effort.
, except that there are two less apertures on the sword.
"Bang", "bang" he deflected two stone bullets one after another, and the aperture was filled up.
Not bad, just by intercepting magic, I can save one-third of my fighting energy. If I simply block it once with strength, it is equivalent to saving half of the fighting energy consumption, which can extend the continuous combat time.
Ding Kui was secretly happy. He could last longer without using his sword, which was most suitable for the current battle situation.
Mountain-traveling demon rats are still crawling out of the deep pits at both ends of the valley, and high-level demon rats appear from time to time.
The battle below the high platform became more and more intense. The mountain-walking demonic rats actually dragged away the remains of their companions. The intensity of hand-to-hand combat of the first-line melee profession remained unchanged. They faced a saturated number of demonic rats. Wherever there was a gap, there were demonic rats.
.
As more and more high-level magic rats join the battle, the magicians on the high platform begin to be suppressed, archers have joined the battle, and the consumption of armor-piercing arrows increases.
Fu Ji watched from the center of the high platform, feeling a little anxious, but he could still hold back. The demon rat's attacks were too systematic, and there was a high possibility that the "mountain-piercing rock-eating demon rat" was nearby.
"Concentrate your firepower and kill one first. Lin Zicheng, you pick an elite demon rat to shoot next. Whichever one you shoot with your armor-piercing arrow, we will attack together." Ding Kui turned back to the high platform to the north.
Qian You was worried that the other magicians would not listen to Ding Kui, so he also shouted: "Listen to him and focus on attacking one!"
"Whoosh" Lin Zicheng's armor-piercing arrow shot at a level three magic rat near the fire.
"Whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh", fireballs, wind blades, and ice arrows all shot at the magic rat.
This jackpot-winning magic rat had just sprayed out a stone bullet and knocked away Lin Zicheng's armor-piercing arrow, and then five different kinds of magic struck it in front of it.
The demon rat was shot away on the spot and died in the air.
The magicians on the high platform in the south observed this scene with their mental power, and immediately learned to attack an elite magic rat, and another unlucky third-level magic rat fell to the ground.
Not to be outdone, the two sides followed suit and killed two elite demon rats at the same time. However, these two demon rats were pinned to the ground by four armor-piercing arrows.
After that, high-level demon rats were continuously killed, and the pressure on the long-range troops on the high platform dropped sharply. The number of high-level demon rats replenished could not keep up with the number of deaths.
However, before humans could be happy for long, the high-level demon rats under the high platform ran together, and Ding Kui's tactics were broken.
When a certain magic rat is focused on fire, other magic rats will help spray out stone bullets to intercept all magic and arrows attacking a certain magic rat.
For a while, no high-level magic rats were killed. When new high-level magic rats were added, the long-range troops on the high platform became struggling again.
"Holy crap, you can adapt so quickly. Is this a demonized pangolin?" Ding Kui cursed.
"Well, the magic rats at night are different from the ones during the day. The low-level ones are not afraid of death and just rush forward; the high-level ones will suppress our long-range firepower and change their formation to respond to our attacks." Gan You was exposed to the magic rats for the second time.
Rat, the senses are very direct.
"Ha!" Feng Liang shouted, slashing a sword beam horizontally, sweeping out an open space in front of him.
Gan You on the stage had an idea and shouted to the audience: "Feng Liang, please pay attention to the linkage and do something big." Then he turned to the stage and said: "Protect me, the magician, pay attention to the attack of the sword light below.
, you fight which one they hit."
After saying that, Qianyou took half a step back and began to prepare the whirlwind technique. Ding Kui came to Qianyou's side. No matter what level of stone bullets the demon rat was shooting at, Ding Kui waved his sword to block them.
The whirlwind technique can be moved at any point within fifty meters. The further away from the magician, the shorter the attack range.
The high-level demon rats were less than fifty meters away from the high platform. A whirlwind suddenly blew around them. Three or four high-level demon rats were rolled up before they could react. Among them was a leader demon rat.
"Swish", "swish", two sword beams struck directly at the landing point of the leader demon rat, and two other fireballs, a wind blade, and an ice arrow also locked onto the leader demon rat.
The demon rat nearby that was not rolled up hurriedly sprayed out stone bullets to intercept the sword rays. All the stone bullets were collected to offset the two sword rays.
The remaining magic successfully focused on the fourth-level magic rat.
Because there was no attack from the wand-wielding magician Ganyou, the fourth-level demon rat fell to the ground seriously injured. It did not die immediately, but it also lost its combat effectiveness.
Qin Zhao in the south was anxious. He was promoted to the wand-wielding magician two years earlier than Qian You, and his strength was much stronger. Qian You could kill a fourth-level magic rat, so he had to kill one for the sake of face.
"Protect me, you aim at the level 4 one in the middle. My magic will focus the fire as soon as I move." Qin Zhao shouted and started preparing the level 2 magic on the spot.
It only took fifteen seconds for a wall of fire to appear where the high-level demon rats were concentrated.
Wall of Fire, a second-level fire magic, locks the target area and appears a five-meter-long and one-meter-wide fire wall that lasts for thirty seconds.
The high-level demon rats gathered together immediately fled in all directions and ran out of the range of the wall of fire. They had no time to spit out stone bullets to intercept the magic of the fourth-level fire-focused demon rats.
It cannot be said that Qin Zhao is two swords stronger than Qian You. The demonized mountain-traveling demonic rat is naturally afraid of fire, and fire magic will do more damage to the demonic rat than air magic.
Whirlwind is stronger than control, and Wall of Fire is stronger than fixed-point area damage. Their strengths are different.
There is no fourth-level combat leader on the east and west sides, so they are under relatively less pressure, but the elite archers are not willing to just play supporting roles.
One of the leading elite archers said to the trainee magician: "You can focus on any level 4 magic rat, and the rest is up to us." Then he drew three arrows from an independent quiver.
"Demon-breaking arrow!" Li Fei from the east exclaimed, then she pointed to the leader demon rat in the audience and said, "Let's focus on that one."
Following Li Fei's ice arrow, the other four trainee magicians shot their magic at the designated magic rat.
"One or three arrows!" four elite archers shouted at the same time.
Twelve magic-breaking arrows went straight to the fourth-level magic rat that was set on fire by magic, and the two third-level magic rats beside it.
The elite archers in the west did not hesitate to spend their precious magic-breaking arrows and also killed three high-level magic rats.
Even though the elite archers are more powerful than the magicians, such attacks only come a few times. Each of them only carries twelve magic-breaking arrows, and they will be unable to continue the attack after three rounds.
Ordinary archers simply can't afford magic-breaking arrows, these are all issued by the Magician's Guild.
This round of attacks by long-range troops was regarded as a big move, which boosted their morale at once and restored their original disadvantage. They were able to kill one or two of the original high-level demon rats before they were replenished.
