It had only been a moment since the first abnormal sound was heard, but the other end of the mountain forest was already in chaos. Liu Yifei was anxiously waiting for the news, and soon the latest news came from Yueluo Zhixuebujing.
Bad news, and this just confirmed Liu Yifei's guess: Sure enough, there was something wrong with the third scout team on the left!
Just when they were about to move forward, the third scout team also discovered an enemy patrol. The number of patrols around them increased significantly, which meant that this place was not far from the enemy's small town stronghold.
But when the third scout team was about to bypass the enemy patrol from the side, a manticore suddenly flew over from the sky.
What happened was so sudden that no one expected it, and what was even worse was that when the manticore landed from the sky, he happened to see the third scout team that was originally planning to sneak past the enemy.
The angry Manticore pounced on him without saying a word, knocking down a Demon Archer player at that time.
The sixth-level creature in the dungeon, the manticore, is a relatively agile character among the sixth-level creatures, but this is only relatively speaking. The manticore under the elite template is definitely powerful and heavy-handed for players who are not aiming for the second level.
, casual players simply cannot withstand their attacks!
In addition, the attack was so sudden that the Demon Archer player couldn't help but scream~
Originally, the manticore's abnormal behavior had aroused the vigilance of other patrol members of the other party. When they heard someone's voice, they rushed over immediately. It happened that the people of the third scout team planned to surround the manticore and entangle their companions.
It was a good move. The two sides were caught off guard and immediately launched an offensive and defensive battle. The fighting was going on over there right now...
"Damn it! Why are you trying to fight the enemy at this time? The large army is around, isn't this all exposed? They won't lead the enemy away bit by bit!"
After listening to Yue Luo's feedback, Liu Yifei couldn't help but cursed secretly.
"Yueluo, notify the detachment leader and ask them to take their people and retreat quickly. It will be bad if they are exposed here. Go from the right, make a big circle, and then approach the attack target from the side. Send extra manpower to investigate the surrounding areas. No need.
Team system, three-person team system, obviously the enemy has mobile sentries, and more manpower is needed to eliminate these dangers..."
Liu Yifei immediately gave instructions in the team channel.
And as soon as he turned his head, he said to a person not far from him: "Aman, take the people of the third team back. Now you take over the captain's position and take everyone back. Be careful not to be discovered by the enemy again.
If another accident happens, I'm afraid we will have to change from sneak attack to force attack."
"Captain, what about you?"
Aman, who was named by Liu Yifei, was stunned for a moment, and then asked immediately.
"I'm going to help the people in the third team. Let's get in touch with the main force quickly. Don't let them withdraw. Lead them out and lure all the enemies away. I'll go over immediately to provide support."
After saying that, without further ado, Liu Yifei recalled a vampire count and restored him to his vampire form. He was already shooting like an arrow in the direction of the third team.
The rest of the scout team couldn't help but be stunned~
Although they have not been working with this mysterious captain for long, they have already roughly seen his character, which is serious, cold and even a bit rigid.
Apart from instructing the team to move forward, expand, and search, Liu Yifei didn't say a word at all! He had no intention of getting along with these team members or trying to get acquainted with them.
But everyone also knows that although this person is with them now, in fact they are not the same kind of people at all. Apart from anything else, the identity of this person is determined by the mercenaries that this person inexplicably conjured up.
It's different. At least in this plot battle, everyone believes that this person can soar into the sky!
And She Ji's "extraordinary" attitude towards him all the way further proves everyone's views.
However, at the critical moment, everyone did not expect that this man would be so enthusiastic and rush to rescue the members of the Third Scout Team who had almost nothing to do with him...
The wind kept ringing in his ears, but Liu Yifei could no longer care about the consequences of his position being exposed due to moving too quickly.
Fortunately, his original target: the third scout team was already under the enemy's firepower, so it didn't make much difference whether his position was hidden or not.
Liu Yifei's idea is very simple. If the team wants to sneak into the target location as planned at this time, it must not support the third scout team. Not only will they not support them, they must "abandon" the opponent as soon as possible and stay away from the fighting area.
Once the opponent's support troops arrive, as long as the flanks are slightly expanded, the main force will be exposed.
However, if we really ignore these people, Liu Yifei estimates that they will really die in all likelihood~
Although their death did not have much impact on Liu Yifei, considering that it might affect the progress of the mission, Liu Yifei had to intervene.
Fortunately, his main goal was just to collect enough corpses to summon the bone dragon. At this moment, this situation in turn brought Liu Yifei an opportunity!
After the enemy's pursuing troops lose the protection of the wall, they are more likely to be killed by Liu Yifei and there is no one to deal with them. As long as they get rid of the opponent a little, these are the "materials" Liu Yifei urgently needs!
But the key is to be able to temporarily repel the opponent, otherwise, everything will be in vain~
In terms of strength, Liu Yifei is not too worried. If nothing else, he can fight one against a hundred with just one Diwei! Unless the opponent is likely to spawn a spiritual-level hero unit in the wild, otherwise, there is no chance of leaving any enemies.
The possibility of killing Liu Yifei.
No matter how perverted the invading army in the dungeon is, they can't possibly let their hero units serve as patrols in the wild, right?
Whoosh~
Liu Yifei, who was on the way, suddenly heard a sharp sound breaking through the air!
The Vampire Earl made an emergency stop and turned to avoid the upward arrows coming from the side, and followed by a few flashes of cold light, laser-like light attacks were fired from all around!
Medusa!
Evil eye!
Liu Yifei had dealt with these monsters too much in the past few days. Even with his eyes closed, he knew who was attacking him. The Vampire Count rolled several times in a row and flew high to avoid the enemy's long-range attacks on the ground.
Because he had to support the third scout team, Liu Yifei didn't consider hiding his whereabouts at all. It didn't matter even if he was exposed while flying.
What he wants to do now is to rescue the third scout team, and to make a big noise here, pretending to be an "outsider" who unexpectedly stepped into the war zone, so that he can better cover the main force approaching the target.
The blood count had just rushed into the sky from the snow-covered branches, and there were already bursts of sharp bird calls coming from the sky. There were quite a few of these harpies, their screams were sharp, and they were shouting one after another on the battlefield.
It has great attack power, but it can make the opponent upset and angry.
Liu Yifei was not polite to these little things. He raised his hand and struck out a string of shadow bone teeth.
Originally Bone Fang was a perfect necromantic skill, but after it was advanced to the second level of Shadow Bone Fang, it came with a lot of shadow damage, causing the skill system to shift towards the shadow system.
Not to mention anything else, at least the "Dark Spell Effect Enhancement" of the "Black Magic Book" can also be used on Shadow Bone Fang, and now this skill has become an excellent skill for Liu Yifei when fighting with monsters. It has a large attack surface.
The skill has no cooldown and is instantaneous... As long as you control the casting rhythm a little and don't lose MP too quickly, Liu Yifei has transformed into a human machine gun!
As the Black Death Staff flickered, row after row of shadow bones and teeth tilted like rain, covering such a wide area that it almost formed a barrage in the air!
Whoosh~
A guide arrow drove hard into Liu Yifei's thigh.
Just by not paying attention, Liu Yifei and the Vampire Earl were locked by the Medusa below. However, the arrow was not in vain. It was aimed at the crowd gathered together. Liu Yifei raised his hand and struck down with a chain of lightning.
!
The skills that come with this storm robe are awesome!
Except for the fact that recharging the spell requires a certain amount of cooling time, casting the spell requires no mana at all, and can just supplement Liu Yifei's current attack methods.
As a ball of lightning exploded in the crowd, a small black shadow instantly penetrated into the patrol team in the underground city like a black light.
As soon as the vampire count succeeded, Liu Yifei had already thrown two dark fogs down before the opponent counterattacked, providing battlefield cover for his undead servants.
Bang~
The black smoke exploded, and the palm-sized vampire bat instantly transformed into a night vampire wearing a luxurious dress. At the moment of transformation, the Vampire Count had already pounced on Medusa, who had already aimed at him!
The sharp claws turned into knives, and he stabbed hard along the soft side of the opponent's side!
In an instant, Medusa's miserable howl came from the battlefield filled with black mist!
It's a pity that Medusa's companions can't see anything at this time. Apart from wandering around like headless flies in the black mist, how can they rescue Medusa who is being approached by vampires and constantly attacking?
Relying on only one vampire earl to support him would inevitably be unable to succeed, but at this time, Liu Yifei's attack in the sky was just right.
If I am not mistaken, this should be an enemy team going to support. Although the number of harpies is large, they have no quality. Only a small part of them are elite templates, and the rest are only second-level in normal state.
mercenary.
Liu Yifei was naturally able to deal with these guys easily. Without the Medusa underneath and the evil eyes and others getting in the way, Liu Yifei quickly cleared the surrounding targets...
"Captain, where have you been?"
Liu Yifei was fighting with the enemy when suddenly the sound of Yue Luo sounded on the team channel.
"I was entangled by the enemy, but it's nothing serious. What about you?"
Liu Yifei took the time to say in the team channel.
"Fortunately, we are retreating. The people of the third scout team have already started to retreat back to the original route. They want to lure the enemy out of the mountains and forests. Let me inform you here. You should be able to find your way back along the way.
Can be seen."
"Okay, I understand~"
In fact, this news is not important to Liu Yifei. Now that he has increased his flight altitude, he can clearly see the movement around him. As expected, there are a large group of harpies scattered in the sky in the north.
He circled and occasionally swooped down, and at a glance he knew he must be a member of the third scout team.
Seeing that the people of the third team could no longer stand it anymore and began to retreat, Liu Yifei was no longer busy killing the enemies directly. Instead, he led him closer to the direction of the third team, pretending to be helpless.
, even without his supplement for a while, even the dark fog on the ground gradually dissipated.
Seeing the opponent's weakness, the dark monsters in the dungeon were very excited! They howled like wolves and chased after them.
However, after bringing another Vampire Earl to stand by, the harpies did not dare to push too hard. To put it bluntly, it would not be a problem for a Vampire Earl to single-handedly challenge five harpies of the same level.
Not to mention that there was Liu Yifei beside him. Even if someone was pretending to be dead at the moment, the cooperation with the Vampire Earl was not something that just a few harpies could defeat.
The more important role of the harpy is to guide the ground troops below who are also pursuing them.
While chasing and escaping, Liu Yifei quickly approached the third scout team that was being besieged. At this moment, a huge roar of a lion suddenly came from the forest. The sound was extremely sudden, and it was more like the roar of an angry beast.
!
"No! What did those guys do again?"
Feeling anxious, Liu Yifei once again used a chain lightning move to split open the enemy group that was gradually gathering behind him, and accelerated toward the location of the incident!
Guwa~~~
The approach of Liu Yifei and the troops around him quickly attracted the attention of the enemy patrol on the opposite side who was besieging the third scout team.
An elite little leader among the harpies screamed and flapped his wings, but three feathers flew out and shot towards Liu Yifei!
The opponent's move was naturally caught by the sprinting Vampire Earl, and he quickly rolled away with Liu Yifei.
"Hey~ Play sneak attack with me? It's quite creative! Let's see how many hairs you have on your body for ejaculation!"
In the past few days, Liu Yifei has fought a lot of sneak attacks. He always used various time differences, ambushes, and traps to attack his enemies. Otherwise, Liu Yifei would have been unable to defeat the strong with the weak every time.
At this moment, he was suddenly caught off guard, but he smiled instead of angry, and shot back a bone spear with his backhand!
When he first learned this skill, Liu Yifei could only fire "heavy bone teeth" similar to bone arrows. However, as his spiritual attributes continued to strengthen and his academic level gradually improved, this "bone arrow" was no longer worthy of its name.
Although the name of the skill is still Bone Arrow, the length of this "Bone Arrow" is already longer than an adult's arm, and its thickness is even seven to eight centimeters in diameter.
At least in Liu Yifei's view, this thing can be regarded as a "bone spear".
The bone spear was quickly formed under the influence of arcane magic, and in a flash of lightning, it shot towards the harpy squad leader who took the initiative to sneak attack like an arrow from the string!
The leader of the Harpy team screamed strangely again and dodged away, but little did he know that Liu Yifei had been prepared for it!
At this time, the other harpies surrounding him had also noticed Liu Yifei's approach, and some had even cooperated with Liu Yifei's pursuers to block him from both ends.
Liu Yifei ignored the other soldiers and was determined to kill the captain first!
Just as the captain of the Harpy squad was about to hide, he suddenly saw a black-covered magic book in Liu Yifei's left hand suddenly disappearing, but his free left hand pointed at it and then clenched his fist fiercely!
At this moment, the leader of the Harpy Squadron felt an extremely strong pressure covering him from all directions, as if he was locked in an air cage that was constantly closing in.
"Want to hide? Come back here!"
Liu Yifei shouted loudly, but the harpy squad leader followed Liu Yifei's gesture and moved two positions laterally out of thin air!
The bone spear that would have been able to dodge was now pierced right in its chest!
Phew~
The dull sound of gun cracking was heard. How sharp is the short bone spear that has gathered a large amount of necromantic energy? If you want to block it with your naked body, it is only possible unless you are a high-level monster, but the harpy is the real deal.
How can an agile and crispy skin with low defense and low health withstand such a brutal blow?
After being struck right in the heart by a blow, the harpy, which was still alive and kicking, immediately looked tired. Unfortunately, it did not wait for its subordinates to come forward and attack the intruder to give it time to escape. The harpy suddenly felt
There was a numbness in my chest, and then there was a soft popping sound, and a terrifying heat that made my body feel scorching and intolerable spread rapidly!
The harpy looked down subconsciously, and saw that at some point, a large blue flame had bloomed in front of her!
The flames kept devouring its fur and flesh, as if everything on its body was the best fuel for the flames, and all the flesh that was swept by the flames immediately turned into a gray-black color.
Under its own perception, it realized that the skin and flesh there were dying quickly!
The blue flame, the flame that burns the soul...
What Liu Yifei used was the curse of "corruption of skin and flesh" and "increased harm".
It's just that unlike the normal curse attacks in the past, this time Liu Yifei "attached" the double curse to the bone spear he fired before!
In fact, after coming out of the Tauren Prophet, Liu Yifei discovered that because he had two levels of "Undead Research" academics, the various skill attributes that he was originally familiar with had suddenly changed to some extent.
Originally, this situation did not attract Liu Yifei's attention.
After all, the world of Might and Magic OL is also a world that is constantly improving and enriching itself every day. It just experienced a major update of the game version not long ago. This situation may be a change caused by minor maintenance that is usually inconspicuous.
But it didn't take long for Liu Yifei to discover that things were far from as simple as he imagined, and the most obvious change was the various skills of the "curse" system.
Then, during the two days when Xue Lan was alone in spawning monsters and leveling up, Liu Yifei was helping Hammer Canter and the others with tasks while he was also completely reorganizing his skill list.
It doesn't look good, but it's okay. After careful inspection, I found that the changes are really quite big!
The most terrifying thing is that Liu Yifei can now combine various curses with his own attacks!
Just like just now, when a curse is attached to a medium such as a bone spear or bone tooth, the target or area of the curse is not specifically selected. As long as the attack is in place, the curse will take effect immediately~
This method of casting seems a bit redundant. After all, once the attack is blocked or dodged, the curse attached to it will be completely wiped out~
Overall, it seems that the cost of casting spells has greatly increased, but the effect has been reduced a lot.
But after Liu Yifei's personal experiment, he found that the advantages of such an attack are also very obvious!
Firstly, this kind of attack method is more concealed and difficult for the opponent to detect, and as the battle casts spells, the level of silent spells increases. This skill combination makes his fighting methods more diverse and makes it harder for the opponent to master his own fighting.
law.
Secondly, Liu Yifei discovered that such an attack seemed to be extremely effective in ignoring the target's magic resistance.
After the attack takes effect, it is equivalent to breaking through the enemy's flesh, but the power of the curse spreads directly from the wound to the enemy's body, avoiding the generally resistant skin of living creatures, and instead directly attacks the opponent's internal organs!
The most daring attempt was when Liu Yifei used this method to kill the seven elite Minotaurs in the dungeon~
The Minotaur has always been the absolute main force in dungeons. Its basic attributes are excellent, and strangely it has the dual characteristics of both a humanoid monster and a beast monster. It has high combat intelligence, many skills, and a lot of mercenary equipment that can be used.
What's more, the strength of the same level is comparable to that of various powerful beasts. It is a powerful fighting race with a large number and almost no obvious shortcomings!
What is not well known is that because they have been dealing with the sorcerers in the dungeon for many years and have been stationed in the dark underground maze that contains magic, the Minotaur's skin is also very resistant to magic, especially against dark magic.
Very high resistance~
But using this method that Liu Yifei had just begun to master, he used all kinds of dark curses to kill the seven elite minotaurs! And the speed was so fast that Liu Yifei didn't even fly in the sky to play with them.
Lai, he simply defeated these monsters fairly with the little assassin watching!
The most exaggerated thing is that as a full-time necromancer, Liu Yifei didn't even use his undead summons...
In Liu Yifei's opinion, this is the biggest way for him to quickly improve his strength in the near future, because this is a new attack method that even he is not familiar with!
After confirming that this attack method was indeed feasible, Liu Yifei even continued to desperately collect various information on the forum for two days. However, what surprised him was that he did not see any content similar to his situation!
What Liu Yifei doesn't know is that because he has mastered two levels of "Essential Research on the Undead", although Liu Yifei's academics are currently only level nine (advanced), his actual results have reached level ten of a normal person (level three and one level).
, level ten is expert level).
If we want to talk about the difference here...
You can think about it this way~
In the stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3, how big is the difference between the bonus effect of "intermediate earth magic" on the "slowness" skill and the bonus effect of "advanced earth magic" on the "slowness" skill?
What an advantage an "expert level" necromancer has!
Liu Yifei had already guessed that this was the benefit he had gained from the Lord of Darkness, but he did not immediately think of the academic field of "Undead Research".
In fact, the reason why this academic as a hidden academic is not mastered by players is because it is a general academic of necromancers that can only be mastered by ordinary players after the fifth level. It is also possible to master after the third level, but the probability is extremely high.
Low, almost the same probability as encountering a hidden career change opportunity.
As a high-end core academic for a profession, the effect of amplifying all the skills of the undead cannot be ignored~
However, the second-level Necromancer uses expert-level soul authority to constantly try various novel attack methods, which also allows Liu Yifei to experience unprecedented new gaming fun.
But what he didn't know was that the strength he discovered by accident actually had a profound and complicated internal setting...
These are just things for later, so I won’t mention them here for the time being~
In short, in the past few days, Liu Yifei has been immersed in this new and incomparable attack method. While he is constantly familiar with and mastering this skill, he is also accelerating his experience accumulation through actual combat.
For example, right now, it is not difficult for Liu Yifei to use his level advantage to destroy a lower-level elite creature with one blow~
And if other players saw his output ability, they would be so shocked that their eyes would pop out!
After repelling a squad leader, the group of harpies on the opposite side also rushed over~
Liu Yifei calmly summoned a circle of bone shields to surround his body, and with the hurricane shield that She Ji blessed the player with, he rushed forward without stopping!
At the moment of intersection, the blood count's HP dropped wildly!
After all, the harpies are not given in vain. They have a numerical advantage. They can pile up and kill the Vampire Earl who is not well protected. However, Liu Yifei is even more despicable. He simply keeps pressing his staff against the Vampire Earl's waist to increase his health!
In just a moment, Liu Yifei successfully broke out of the enemy's blockade~
But when he looked up, Liu Yifei felt a rush of hot blood rushing to the top of his head!
At some point, a total of three manticores appeared off the field!
These manticores were constantly chasing each other like a cat playing with a mouse, biting the players of the third scout team who were being chased around the field.
Just as Liu Yifei rushed to the scene, a player screamed and was knocked to the ground by a scorpion tail slap from one of the manticores. Before he could get up and turn around to escape, the manticore had already pounced on him, ruthlessly.
He slammed the player to the ground with his front paws~
Then the ocher red lion opened its mouth and bit off one of the player's arms from his shoulder!
