Chapter 699 Dead Wind Sabre and Sapphire Blue Wings
After a wave of opponent exchange operations, the second team has evolved into mainly members of Wood, Hannah, and Terry, responsible for consulting the remaining soldiers on the frontal battlefield.
Neville on the other side was engaged in a melee battle with an elite skeleton swordsman who was obviously stronger than the other ordinary mobs. He was responsible for holding off his opponent for time.
And Neville's mission was indeed accomplished well. Although the blue-robed skeleton was far superior to ordinary skeleton soldiers in terms of speed, strength, and flexibility.
But after all, he is just a construct and does not know how to be flexible. His moves can only come and go a few times, and he does not even know how to change targets to support the frontal battlefield.
So as long as someone can keep up with its speed, the blue-robed skeleton really won't be able to quickly resolve the battle for a while.
Of course, Neville's situation was not as good as expected. The blue-robed skeleton's attributes were much higher than his own, so it was very difficult to deal with it. Although there was no danger for the time being, he was beaten back and forth, so he could only
Barely holding on.
But after struggling for a while, Neville still faced a crisis. It's not that he made any mistakes, but that the [Bone One-Handed Sword] in his hand could no longer hold on.
When faced with a direct thrust from the blue-robed skeleton, Neville flexibly raised his sword and accurately blocked the attack with the blade of the sword. However, after this blow, a deep hole was also poked out on the white-bone one-handed sword.
crack.
The durability of the one-handed sword also became 0, and then the entire bone sword was broken into several pieces under Neville's eyes, leaving only the hilt in the palm of his hand.
It’s over!
Neville's heart skipped a beat. Without his weapon, he couldn't resist the opponent at all.
At the same time, he had already been forced to retreat on the balcony. If he jumped down rashly, he would be a target based on the opponent's flexibility.
Facing another sweep from the blue-robed skeleton, Neville closed his eyes in despair.
"There are many obstacles!"
Just when Neville thought he was about to confess here, a barrier wall made of magic quickly appeared in front of him, firmly blocking the blow for him.
It turned out that Wood was really powerful in frontal combat. After discovering that a strong enemy appeared, he immediately accelerated the frequency of casting spells. Then he seemed to transform into a berserker and cleared away the remaining skeletons.
After freeing up his hands and feet, he immediately supported Neville.
"Come down and gather together, this skeleton is very fast, we must not let him defeat it one by one!" Wood said urgently after rescuing Neville.
"Understood!" Neville shouted excitedly after escaping, and then jumped down from the second floor with a leap.
But when he came to Wood, he couldn't help but be startled, staring nervously at the other person's chest, "Are you injured?"
It turned out that at this moment, two bone arrows were clearly stuck in Wood's upper body, one was in the middle of the collarbone, and the other was pierced into the left shoulder.
"There is no way. How can we get rid of those trash fish quickly without paying a price?" Wood smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, the injuries I suffered on the Quidditch team were much more serious than this. These are all
It’s a trivial matter.”
After saying that, Wood raised his hand very domineeringly and pulled out the two bone arrows. Apart from showing his teeth in pain, he didn't even make a sound.
Wood's macho performance shocked the three little wizards around him, and also boosted their confidence. With such a tough captain by their side, what did they have to fear?
After discovering that the target had escaped, the blue-robed skeleton on the balcony on the second floor observed a bit dullly, then jumped up and ran in the direction he came from, seemingly not preparing to fight Wood and the other mermaids to the death.
"He wants to run away! Don't let him run away, the equipment on the monsters all have attributes!"
Upon seeing this, Neville shouted loudly. He had used bone swords to fight blue-robed skeletons before, and he knew very well that they could also use the equipment on these monsters, and the cloak and sword of this blue-robed swordsman looked not simple.
, how can we just let it go.
"Don't worry, it can't run away!"
Wood smiled coldly, then quickly shook his wand and fired three consecutive binding spells to generate a binding spell. Not only did he attack the opponent, he also sealed the space on both sides of it.
Although the blue-robed skeleton tried to dodge the incoming spells very nimbly in the air, it was still unable to avoid being hit by one of the binding spells, and fell straight to the ground like a stupid bird with its wings tied.
"Shattered to pieces!"
When Wood saw this, he didn't hesitate. He took a few steps forward and used a crushing spell to smash him into pieces.
"Huh, it's so dangerous. Fortunately, this guy is not very smart. If he had just attacked with the frontal troops, we might not be able to cope with it." Hannah wiped the sweat from her forehead. Although this battle was not intense,
It was high, but the pressure it brought to her was real.
"It's a pity that Ernie was still killed. We should have thought that something was wrong with this carriage. This blue-robed skeleton is probably an elite monster like the giant skeleton that the first team encountered." Terry also let out a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, it is not a giant skeleton, otherwise it would not be so easy for us to deal with it. Moreover, this guy actually knows how to escape. It seems that they still have some intelligence. Please be careful when encountering similar monsters in the future."
Wood also nodded. To be honest, this was his first time fighting head-on, so he was a little flustered when dealing with it. However, thanks to his experience in the Quidditch team, he was much calmer than others.
"Look at the equipment of these guys. The one-handed sword I just picked up has attributes. I guess its equipment must be good." Neville was already thinking about the trophies at this time.
"Yeah!" Wood smiled and nodded when he heard this, and then gathered together and began to inspect the corpses of these enemies.
The equipment that ordinary skeleton soldiers broke out was exactly the same as what Ron and Malfoy saw. They were obviously standard equipment, but this time there was a new equipment for skeleton archers.
【Bone Longbow】
Attack power: 2-12 (damage calculated based on distance and strength)
Attack distance: 50 meters
Durability:16/20
Features: None
【Bone Quiver】
Storing arrows:12/20
Wood casually picked up a pair of archer's equipment and glanced at it, then threw it aside in disgust. In terms of long-range attack methods, these bows and arrows are not as convenient as the magic spell.
In comparison, among the equipment of these ordinary skeletons, the [Bone Shield] is more useful, and at least it can be used as a low-quality armored spell user.
On the contrary, the equipment revealed by the blue-robed skeleton made everyone more interested. When they got closer, they finally saw clearly that the real name of this elite skeleton was [Swift Swordsman].
The Swift Swordsman has two pieces of equipment with attributes, namely the Western rapier in his hand and the cloak behind him.
[Death Wind Saber]
Attack power:20-30
Durability:43/50
Equipment requirements: Agility attribute ★★ or above
Additional characteristics: 1. Sharpness. After enchantment, this sword is so sharp that it can easily pierce steel. 2. Windless. After enchantment, this sword will ignore air resistance when swinging, which makes it more flexible, but also makes it more powerful.
It is easy to hurt the owner himself.
【Sapphire Blue Wing】
Durability:43/50
Equipment requirements: Intelligence★, Agility★★ or above
Additional features: Gliding. Turning on this ability allows the user to glide briefly in the air. Of course, this does not mean that you can fly, so you have to jump up by yourself when using it. At the same time, the user must have superb balance skills, otherwise they will only injure themselves.
, each time this ability is turned on, it will consume 2 ticks of mana.
"hiss……"
After seeing the powerful properties of these two pieces of equipment, everyone took a breath of cold air. This equipment was not a little bit stronger than the equipment of ordinary skeleton soldiers, especially the [Sapphire Blue Wings], which could actually allow people to glide in the air.
This kind of equipment with special functions is no different from legendary props, so everyone's eyes lit up when they saw it.
"Among us, only Neville and I meet the conditions for their use. Let's give these two pieces of equipment to Neville for you to use first." After inspecting the two pieces of equipment, Wood immediately looked at Neville.
Now that he is injured and the team has lost members again, we must quickly increase our combat effectiveness.
"Uh, captain, don't you keep it for yourself?" Neville scratched his head a little implicitly. Although he was also very coveted for these two pieces of equipment, he also knew the principle of making the best use of everything. The strongest in the team was Wood.
, the equipment can play a greater role in his hands.
"Equipment of this level has limited improvement for me, and I'm not very good at close combat. In comparison, you are obviously more suitable. I know that you are the best at close combat among the first-year students." Wood shook his head slightly.
He is injured now and is not suitable to get close to the enemy.
Hannah and Terry next to them also nodded, and they still recognized Neville's fighting ability.
"Okay, you're welcome." Neville chuckled, and then eagerly equipped two props, and then jumped high to try out the gliding function of the [Sapphire Blue Wings].
"Very good. If you can control them, we will have more chances of winning in subsequent actions." Wood saw Neville's calm look and nodded with satisfaction.
"Captain, what should we do next, should we continue along this road? Let your injuries be treated as soon as possible?"
Hannah next to her looked at Wood with some worry. Although they had just treated each other's wounds briefly and successfully stopped the bleeding, this had caused Wood to lose part of his combat effectiveness.
"Well..." Wood lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said firmly, "In this way, let's head towards the nearest high-rise building first. On the one hand, we can see if we can collect other loot along the way. On the other hand, we can try to capture a building.
.”
"Then let's give up on the deepest shopping mall?" Terry frowned, he was still thinking about the princess.
"Try small targets first. We don't know the strength of the monsters in this dungeon yet. I speculate that the hostage guarding area may have more troops than the ones we just encountered."
"At this point, the enemy has reduced our strength. It would not be a wise decision to rush towards the biggest target. My idea is to try the level of one of the high-rise buildings first. If the defense strength is average, continue deeper. Let's go, if there are many powerful enemies, just use the ordinary hostages as the main targets and abandon the princess."
Wood acted very rationally, and his idea was actually very simple. This is similar to a Quidditch game. You can score points by shooting with the Quaffle, and you can score big points by catching the Golden Snitch. But the Golden Snitch is difficult to catch, so it's not as good as Focus on better earned points.
"I understand what you mean." Hannah nodded after hearing this, "A princess gets 5 points. As long as more than 5 ordinary hostages are rescued, the points are more than rescuing the princess."
"That's right!" Neville responded at this time, "And I'm afraid the other teams have set their sights on the princess. In addition to the enemies stationed there, we will have to be wary of them. It will be easy to end up in vain."
"That's the truth." Wood smiled slightly, "Everyone, hurry up and pack up everything you can use, and then move among the ruins to avoid being spotted by the two teams that haven't come in yet."
"Yes!" The three of them responded in unison, and then packed up a few handy weapons and took them with them, the most important of which were the swordsman's shields, and the rest of the equipment was basically dispensable.
The previous battle of Wood and his team was also clearly seen by everyone outside the ruins. After all, the location where they encountered the enemy was much closer than that of the first team.
"I didn't expect Wood and the others to actually eat an entire skeleton team, as well as the blue-robed skeleton that could fly around. They are really strong." Fred smacked his lips in amusement.
"But they also lost one member, and I saw that Wood seemed to be injured. He was a troublemaker. He was really misbehaving. He was injured and still acted as if nothing had happened."
Hermione looked into the distance speechlessly. At the same time, she was also a little surprised at the intensity of this actual combat exercise. There was actually blood in the battle. It seemed that the professor was really going to play with them.
"That's because you don't understand Wood very well. He broke his bones more than once on the Quidditch pitch. Why would you care about such a minor injury?" George, who is also a Quidditch teammate, grinned, and it was obvious that he respected him in his heart. The captain who is gentle on the outside but extremely wild on the inside.
"But have you noticed? After approaching that group of skeleton soldiers, Neville put on the blue-robed skeleton's cloak and sword!" Cedric narrowed his eyes slightly and kept mumbling.
"How can we not see this? He is flying!" Fred laughed, "It seems that we can also use the equipment in the hands of those monsters, and there are legendary items among them!"
"This is important information. It seems that after we enter, we can't simply avoid the battle. We have to use the equipment on these monsters to strengthen ourselves!" Hermione reacted quickly and concluded immediately.
While everyone was chattering, Anduin spoke again. This time it was the turn of the third team led by Percy to take action.
At this time, everyone could basically see that the action time of each team was exactly 15 minutes apart, which meant that in another 15 minutes it would be the fourth team's turn.
The entry route Percy chose is more intriguing. He actually chose to follow the route of the second team!
