."Something was delayed today. I only had time to update one chapter. Please see Yiyi...
In addition, it is already the end of the month. Xiaolong will try his best to make a breakthrough in the next two days and give everyone the extra money he still owes.
As mentioned before, the purpose of this operation is to help Xue Lan capture a sixth-level manticore of the appropriate level as a battle pet. In order to cope with various possible emergencies, the three of them also reorganized their supply work.
After a lot of preparation, especially Liu Yifei, he went to the magic shop and bought thirty bottles of medium-effective paralysis-relieving potion. If you want to deal with the manticore, you must bring enough of this treasure.
To this day, Liu Yifei still remembers the shocking city massacre a week ago. When he relied on a large number of high-level bone dragons and great demons to brutally destroy the main city of the dungeon camp, the few manticore creatures left behind in the city pounced on them.
The scene of the attack
Although the levels of these manticores are not high, and many of them are even injured, their unique paralysis attack effect still makes the big demons one level above them fearful.
can win easily
Now, even if the player's level continues to rise, Liu Yifei still feels that it is unlikely to kill the manticore. It is mainly a "flying" stunt area. No matter how many people you have, it will be in vain because the manticore's attack method is close. If it is flying
The combination of ten long-range attacks is even better. Everyone can run as far as they want. From now on, it will be easier to not mention those plague stars.
Fortunately, the purpose of the three of them this time is not to upgrade the manticore, but to catch one. In this way, if they are lucky enough to encounter a lone manticore scattered in the periphery, Liu Yifei and the three of them can
It's not like he doesn't have the strength to fight
However, as soon as he took the teleportation array from Sokia City to this border town, Xue Lan felt that something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, there seems to be something going on here. Starting from the teleportation array, we walked all the way to the entrance of the town. Looking at the lively crowd around us, the blood flow finally stopped Liu Yifei and the two young assassins.
"What's going on?.
"This is a border town under the jurisdiction of Sodanya City. There are no special products in the surrounding area. Even because a suitable growing area for the Mulin Glimmer Tree has never been found, the local area has been short of timber resources for a long time.
It can be said that the geographical location of this town is very unfavorable, and a large area of the surrounding space does need a "stronghold" to control and deploy defenses to prevent the emergence of a defensive vacuum. Sokia ignored manpower and material resources.
This town was built by consuming and transporting large amounts of wood over long distances.
Back then, before I changed my job to become a Shadow Witch, I stayed here for a while due to a mission. It can be said that except for the manticore's lair, there is nothing else attractive around here.
However, it is unlikely that current players will come to kill manticores from a distance, so this group of people.
"Brother! Excuse me for asking. What happened to this town? It was deserted here when my brother and I left a while ago. Why are so many people crowding in all of a sudden?" Xue Lan's meaning was already clear.
, I am afraid that the target of their trip has been targeted. The little assassin reacted quickly. Xuelan paused for a moment, and before Liu Yifei could speak, he had already grabbed the demon next to him who was slowly shopping for things.
The magician player handed over a gold coin.
When someone suddenly grabbed his robe from behind, the sorcerer thought someone was going to be rude to him and was about to cast a spell. When he turned around, he saw a gold coin with a clear yellow color and an alluring luster rising and falling in front of him.
The unhappiness in my heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Brother, I have been separated from your brother for a while, right? And you don't usually fall in love, right? More than half a month ago, some people found a manticore den around this town. Since then,
After that, the popularity of this town soared, and in just three days, the place was overcrowded." The man took the gold coin and said with a smile.
"So, the manticore's nest has been occupied?" Liu Yifei asked. "If it were really that simple, how could you have squeezed all the way here? In the first three days, this town was full of
It's really crowded. It basically takes twenty or thirty minutes to walk from the teleportation array to the real door. You can't move at all!
Later, more people went up and died, and everyone discovered that the manticore was not moved by current players at all. Gradually, the matter faded away, and the flow of people was slightly less. However, with the recent shadow raids,
With the rapid development of embezzlement, more and more small mercenary groups are in danger. This is not the case. The news came out last night on the Internet that today there will be four levels of mercenary groups coming together to jointly push this manticore nest, so everyone
Suddenly everyone sneaked over to watch the fun."
A level four mercenary group should have about four to five hundred team members. At least three hundred! At first, the three of them only planned to come over quietly to catch a manticore, but they didn't expect to encounter them.
In this situation, I didn't expect that the current players would be so crazy and want to force themselves into anything they were unsure of. For a while, the three of them were in a dilemma.
"What should we do next? Why don't we take you to catch a Minotaur battle pet? Pick a small O first. Apart from being unable to fly, the output should be about the same as an ordinary Manticore." Liu Yifei suggested.
"It's useless. I tried it a long time ago. Minotaurs are classified as humanoid creatures and cannot be captured as war pets. The same goes for Medusa. Otherwise, why would I bother bringing a big one?
Where's the spider?" After saying that, Xue Lan, who had always been calm and composed, seemed a little disheartened and kicked a small raised pebble on the ground.
"Forget it. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, no matter what. Let's go there together to see the situation. If possible, we might be able to catch a half-dead one. At worst, we will buy it directly from the other party. It's just a little experience. Come to think of it.
Their four mercenary groups don't have enough to share. Let's give them some money to compensate them.
With Liu Yifei's insistence, the three of them kept their final destination unchanged. They walked forward in the direction pointed by the flow of people. In this way, the little assassin didn't even need Xuelan to guide the way.
After arriving at the destination, Liu Yifei discovered that this place was really dangerous!
The destination is basically surrounded by a rocky land with huge boulders. There is simply not enough space for a large group of people to send out a sufficient formation. Moreover, from time to time, there will be some mobs around level 50, which look like giant monsters.
Work, the ring must be highly sensitive and highly resistant to monsters, not only against dry
The physics, magic and other buildings all have high resistance and mobility, and the attack speed is extremely fast. If they pounce on you, they can bite you off some blood. Especially the long-range professions are annoying and can't be shaken away. They are a bit like a deformed assassin.
The attack is not too fierce, otherwise just by clearing away the scattered monsters around, a large area of white light would rise into the sky.
After passing a "line of sky.", Xue Lan told Liu Yifei and the two that it turned out that there should be a junior assistant-level manticore guarding the entrance of the mountain crevice as an outer guard of the manticore nest.
Yes, she has been here once before, and she managed to trick her away with Big Spider Girl first.
He kept a certain distance from the manticore, and then completely trapped him with his sister before he woke up and ran back, and then let her sneak in. Judging from the appearance just now, maybe she was surrounded by the advance team of the mercenary group last night.
I killed it, but I don’t know when it will appear again.
Hearing what Xue Lan said, Liu Yifei felt that the varying degrees of danger in this place was not conducive to players' formation. In addition to dealing with a large number of vicious beetles, they also had to deal with a small manticore of unknown level.
Compared with this, the difficulty alone is not even a little bit. Especially the line of sky, which is only seven meters wide, is very difficult for people with
For a manticore with strong wings and strong hands, it naturally has enough space to move around. However, in order to facilitate slashing attacks, players can only line up five people! According to the combat wisdom of high-level creatures, as long as they are slightly
Retreat so that a large number of remote attacking players on the periphery cannot directly damage it. I'm afraid it will definitely have the effect of having one man standing in front of it!
Beyond the "line of sky." The large space behind is the real manticore's nest.
Walking out of the cracks in the mountain, there are many "caves" of various sizes arranged on the mountain wall dozens of meters wide on the opposite side. Xue Lan told Liu Yifei that those large and small caves are where manticores live, but manticores
The territorial awareness and aggressiveness are so strong that there is no need to get close to the rock wall. As long as you walk forward for about ten meters, there will definitely be manticores from the lower level jumping out to stop the intruders. Once the manticores start to howl, they will soon be
This will alarm a large group of manticores, making it impossible to kill them.
"Oh! No wonder you said you wanted to capture a manticore's assistant. In your original idea, were you planning to capture the manticore guard at the door?"
"Well, that's the one. After all, only in which position can you have the greatest possibility of facing the manticore alone without worrying about them making friends. It is the most feasible.
"But, isn't a pet no more than five levels higher than its owner? If it is caught in person, there should be the same level limit. You can't even see the level of that little helper, so why would you want to catch it?
There are also those vicious beetles. With those bugs around, there is no way to catch pets with peace of mind. Liu Yifei said while looking at the surrounding situation.
"As for the bug, I originally thought it would be appropriate to use the last dagger to lure him away. He moves quickly. If you are careful, there may not be any problems. As long as you can spare about half an hour, you can almost solve the problem of level.
We shadow witches do not use special skills to capture beasts as battle pets, but use the special skills of "charm." to make the beasts surrender. Of course, we also need to supplement it with certain drugs in the process.
"Doesn't it mean that you can ignore the level difference? Is that so cool? Liu Yifei was shocked! In this case, if the Shadow Witch has a powerful pet that is twenty levels higher than herself, what other professions can do it?
What a mess?
"The drug needs to be exchanged for the contribution points of the Shadow Temple, and it is worth a lot of money. Especially now, most of them are shadow witches who have changed jobs online. The tasks they accept are all simple tasks, and the temple contribution points given are not many. Once
It is not easy to get a bottle of poison. The cooling time of the "Charm" skill is seventy-two hours. Once used, regardless of success or failure, you must accept the penalty of one level deduction for your own level, and the specific success or failure depends on the levels of both parties.
It’s related to the difference. The bigger the difference, the lower the chance of charm.
In addition, the Shadow Witch should try to reduce the number of times it damages the target. The higher the damage value, the higher the hatred, and the lower the chance of successful charm. The more lives the charm target has, the weaker the effect of the final charm will be. This requires
First, the target is greatly weakened, so the balance point is difficult to grasp. This method of charming the battle pet is not that easy to use.
"Okay, I know.
By the way, who are these people? Why don't they stay outside like the onlookers outside and stay in a place like this? Liu Yifei pointed at the exit of the mountain crevice and there were about ten people who had been staring at the three of them since they entered.
The man who refused to let go asked.
"It should be the pioneer unit of the mercenary group that will come to open up the wasteland soon. The lower city guarding the ground is in chaos. Compared with the major castles in the above world, the castles in the dungeon camp have no restrictions on the joint value of players.
No matter how much you carry, the city guards will never come to you.
As for the crime of murder, it is said that the highest-ranking hidden professional "Red Road Exile" has been carrying more than 30 lives, and he can still appear in major cities in the underground city as usual. Therefore, various public security issues are under the ground
The world is full of headaches
This position is easy to defend and difficult to attack. After breaking through the Manticore Assistant, if no one is watching, the ordinary players will turn this place upside down in less than half an hour. God knows how many Manticores will be attracted, so
More than ten people were left guarding the door. Xue Lan took a look and immediately replied. As he was talking here, suddenly! Liu
Yifei first felt a slight tremor under his feet. Then more and more severe tremors kept coming. There was a faint booming sound like a muffled thunder in his ears. Some other people around him seemed to feel it too, and suddenly they all stood up.
He stood up and looked around with vigilance, thinking that there was some unusual movement in the manticore's nest opposite.
"What's going on? Will there be an earthquake here?" Liu Yifei asked Xue Lan in the team chat channel.
"I don't know, I've only been here twice. The first time was unintentionally, and the second time I came here to find out. I have never encountered such a situation." Obviously, the sudden change made Xue Lan a little confused.
"In vain. An extremely powerful roar came from the mountain wall of the Manticore's Nest. It sounded just like a lion or a tiger. I thought it was really the roar of the Manticore in the Manticore's Nest. It's just that
This voice is full of domineering and powerful, but I wonder if it is a scorpion lion at the level of assistant.
If this place is really helpful, it's no wonder that so many mercenary groups are tempted to open up wasteland and destroy this place. Such a high-level monster, Ju Zhi San. There is a Japanese version on it. Mai is a recruitment point that can be occupied, and almost all the soldiers gathered here.
It’s an exciting element of the old army’s forces. No wonder so many people gathered here crazily.
The commotion of the crowd here is getting louder and louder. Even the ordinary players gathered in large numbers on the opposite side of the "One Line of Sky" mountain gap also feel that something is wrong here. Some people choose to retreat rationally, but there are also quite a few
Some people thought that something had changed in the Manticore's Nest, so they rushed over to it.
Liu Yifei didn't expect that there are so many people who are not afraid of death. This is clearly an earthquake in the game. After entering this crack in the Tianshan Mountains, it is equivalent to being surrounded in this hollow mountain. If something happens,
If there is a landslide, no one will feel sorry for these people even if they lose their level.
It turned out that Liu Yifei was still a little proud, but he vaguely felt that the flow of people was getting bigger and bigger, with no intention of slowing down. The three of them, and the dozen or so people who had been here for a long time, were unable to stop this torrent of players. Not long after, they had already
They were pushed to the edge, but more and more players rushed out.
At this moment, no fewer than fifteen manticores suddenly jumped out of the cave on the mountain wall! Relying on their agility and flying advantage, they suddenly jumped into the unprepared crowd. For a moment,
There were shouts and howls, and the manticores seemed to have rushed into the flock of sheep and slaughtered them unscrupulously.
Get up, the players are all crowded together, let alone fight back and attack, many of them can't even pull out their weapons! Under this situation, in a short time, no less than a hundred people were killed in the Manticore
Under the mouth! The underground world that was originally only slightly fluorescent suddenly became bright.
"Brother Yun, what should I do? This is a tragedy. Do you want to help?" The little assassin knows that Liu Yifei has a good temper. As long as it does not harm his vital interests, Liu Yifei is usually willing to do some good deeds.
, but the little assassin forgot that there was a fierce woman standing beside him at this time.
"Help? I think your head is broken, right? In this situation, let alone the two of you, even if two hundred people rush out, it will be in vain! The scene is too chaotic, and these players have no faith in discipline at all.
If you don’t believe it, it would be fine if you didn’t help. If you take action and cause the manticore to
If you pay attention, once they pounce, the people you rescue will definitely turn around and run away immediately. They don't care whether you live or die, even if they know they are blocked and cannot escape, and after you are all dead, the manticore will turn around and kill them.
, they still won’t come to help. Xuelan looked at the little assassin with some contempt and said.
"Wha, what two people! Don't forget. You even formed a team with us, and now we have a cooperative relationship!"
"Liu Yun said that the three of us will cooperate to upgrade next week. This time he just helped me prepare some things in advance for better cooperation. When will we become team members? Besides, I have never been in the habit of teaming up with idiots. If
If he was going to die, Xitingzun Xuelan shrugged his shoulders, obviously not minding watching the little assassin bravely rush forward, and then leave the scene in an instant.
Just when the scene was in chaos, suddenly, another fierce lion roar sounded from the mountain wall. For some reason, the dozen or so manticores that were about to kill seemed to have suddenly received some order, and they gave up everything in front of them.
The player who fought back suddenly jumped into the sky again, and quickly burrowed back into the small caves where he had appeared previously.
If there were not a large number of various things left on the ground that exploded after the death of players, no one would have believed that just less than a minute ago, these people were still here alive to watch the fun. And one minute before and after
How big is the gap? At least, those people have to work hard for several days to measure the level. What a heinous trick.
Of course, as the saying goes, some are happy and some are sad. Players who died tragically are drawing circles on the resurrection point in the town. Players who survived here are excited. After waiting for so long, they have waited for their first game.
It’s a “windfall”. These things that have been revealed are of little value!
"Really, these are the people you were thinking of helping just now. In the blink of an eye, they have begun to carve up the ownerless things on the ground. They are a group of people who can't even save themselves. Do you think they can still help?
?" When Xue Lan's words came out, the little assassin was even more choked and speechless. Finally he rolled his eyes and decided to ignore this woman completely. Although the incident happened strangely
The weirdness, but it only lasted for a few minutes, and soon the crowd dispersed outside and went about their business. However, everyone still tried to stay within a kilometer of the mountain crevice. If there was any movement, it would be very easy.
Come over quickly, it seems that these people are still thinking about the land reclamation activities that are about to start in the afternoon. They are ready to see what bargains can be obtained."
With everyone waiting nervously, at 1:30 in the afternoon, the four rumored mercenary groups finally arrived at the scene one after another. However, to Liu Yifei's surprise, the total number of people who showed up was far beyond his imagination. It actually reached nearly eight people.
Hundreds of people! It seems that in addition to the formal mercenary members and reserve mercenary members, they also attracted a considerable number of peripheral members! It seems that these four mercenary groups are determined to win today's operation.
"Talk, by the way, Yun said, what's the name of Shadow Raid? Will it suddenly appear again this time? It stands to reason that the matter of the Manticore's Lair has been announced to the public. It is impossible for them not to know about some mercenaries.
The development of the group will inevitably affect their expansion. Is it possible that they will come out to stir up trouble?" Seeing these people starting to line up outside, the young assassin suddenly asked Liu Yifei, after all, just a few days ago, the newly established guild leader
It's still very beautiful to play with the bottom of the cauldron
"It's unlikely. Aren't they busy with a bigger plan recently? Before they get that thing done, I'm afraid they will attract as little attention as possible from the outside world. Once they get it done, they're afraid they won't be able to challenge it once.
When Liu Yifei thought about the shadow raid, Liu Yifei's eyes flashed coldly and he said
It's a pity that Liu Yifei still thinks that Broken Arm Wolf wants to simplify this high-profile matter. How come they can't receive news about their shadow raid? Even if it's not convenient for a large group of people to kill them, how can they be willing to sit back and watch others increase their strength? But in the end, it leads to
The incident was completely unexpected, and the punishment plan of Liu Yifei and the other three people was completely disrupted.
