Time passed little by little, but the number of pirates seemed to be endless. It seemed that there would be no less of them. Jue Feng and the others even wondered whether the pirates were spawn monsters. It was impossible to kill them all.
But Brother Tian didn't say anything. Since he did this, he certainly has his reasons. You know, Brother Tian will never do anything meaningless.
Of course, Murong Xiaotian, Kuangzhan and Ling'er, who had fought pirates on Skull Island, naturally understood this. They fought there from the first day to the next day.
The number of pirates killed here now, to be honest, is still far from that on Skull Island at that time.
It can be said that the battle becomes more difficult as time goes by. After all, fatigue and hunger will decrease as time goes by.
The roar of cannons continued from midnight to dawn. It can be said that this was a very difficult night. Kuangzhan and Leitingxuan encountered several dangerous situations. It was Murong Xiaotian who rushed over to help rescue them.
When the temperature of the sun dispersed the mist on the island, the appearance of the island jumped into the eyes of Murong Xiaotian and the others.
Murong Xiaotian was still greatly surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.
I originally thought that putting this stone wall here was meaningless. Now it seems that I was wrong.
The rocks on both sides of the stone wall circled around from both sides, and then finally closed together in the distance; it turned out that the world behind the stone wall was basically a valley within an island.
In addition to being able to enter through the stone wall, the vast world behind the stone wall is surrounded by towering cliffs. The height of the cliffs and the lowest point are at least a hundred meters above.
Even if you get to "Hell Island" from other places, it is still very difficult to enter the valley within the island.
Unless you can fly, it's not that easy to get down from such a high cliff.
Even if you prepare a hundred-meter-long rope, if you climb down from the top, your whole body will be exposed to the enemy's target. To put it mildly, just a dozen or twenty level 40 skeleton pirates will be there. It can kill you.
There is no need to shoot you at all. Just shoot to break your rope. If you fall down from a height of tens of meters, you will die.
Behind the stone wall is a circular valley. And this stone wall is the entrance to the stone wall.
The valley on this island is not very big, with a radius of just over a thousand meters. Starting from the end of the 300-meter open space behind the stone wall, and extending all the way back, there is jungle.
The jungle extends about 600 meters inward. There seems to be a building. The building is very tall, maybe thirty or forty meters high. From a distance, it is impossible to tell what the building is; in freedom It is indeed very strange for such a tall building to appear in such a deserted area.
However, since the lower part of the building is blocked by large trees more than ten meters high in the jungle, the specific appearance of the building cannot be seen clearly.
This building looks like the center point of the valley on the island. With it as the center, the rest of the valley is filled with densely packed towering trees.
The morning fog dissipated. The faces of these pirates were clearly displayed in front of Murong Xiaotian and the others. Each one of them was not the face that a living person should have at all.
As Murong Xiaotian thought before, they are more like ghost-type creatures. However, they still belong to the Warcraft type; to be precise, when Murong Xiaotian and Murong Xiaotian were in the Huaxia District, they met the Kuezhan brothers and sisters for the first time. In the haunted house The monsters I defeated were pretty much the same.
Of course, the level of these pirates cannot be compared with playing in a haunted house.
Looking at the densely packed pirates in front of him, extending into the jungle, Murong Xiaotian couldn't feel relaxed at all.
The pirates in this open space alone are enough for you to kill in a few hours. What's more, pirates are still rushing out of the jungle in a steady stream. If you kill one, it will fill a gap.
Everyone's hunger and fatigue levels have dropped a lot. You don't have any time to replenish them. Back on Skull Island, the pirates attacked during the day and retreated at night; but the pirates here attacked regardless of day or night. I won't give you any chance to breathe.
Of course, these problems are not unsolvable. Just stop the two members who are firing and take turns to rest and replenish food with the others.
However, the most serious problem we are facing now is that there is not much energy ore needed for the cannon.
And this kind of energy ore is completely different from the ore used in the magic crystal cannon. It is completely irreplaceable.
Among them, except for Ling'er and himself, who know two long-range attack magics that they can't use, the rest are all close-attack power-type professions; without the dominant force of the cannon, Ling'er alone can't stop it at all. The opponent's skeleton pirates are within attack range.
Once the opponent's skeleton pirates cooperate with the one-eyed pirates to carry out long-range strikes and melee charges, let alone taking a rest, I am afraid that the whole situation will immediately take a turn for the worse and become precarious.
What's more, you can't predict how many pirates there will be and whether there will be higher-level pirates later.
"Ling'er, can you see the situation in the jungle and in front of the building? Take a closer look. The more detailed the better." Murong Xiaotian said to Ling'er in a deep voice.
There are not many energy ores left in the cannon. This is an indisputable fact. It is also an indisputable fact that pirates are constantly rushing out of the jungle. If this continues unchanged and the energy ores are used up, there will be only one result. Then It means defeat.
Therefore, Murong Xiaotian must understand the situation in the valley on the entire island to decide the next step.
"The jungle in this valley is full of pirates. To say it is overcrowded is not an exaggeration. Even the jungle behind the building is full of pirates. To be precise, pirates have almost occupied the entire valley within the island."
"Holy shit." Murong Xiaotian smiled bitterly and secretly shook his head.
The entire valley within the island, with that building as the center, has a radius of nearly a kilometer. Although it is all jungle, the number of pirates that can be gathered in a jungle with a radius of one kilometer is astonishing.
It seems that besides attacking them all night, the pirate has been gathering troops in the jungle. I just don't know if all the pirates in the lair have been mobilized.
Thinking of this, Murong Xiaotian interrupted Ling'er and asked, "That building must be the pirate's lair. Take a look. Are there any pirates who continue to appear in that building?"
Although the sky has brightened and the fog has dispersed, the distance from here to the building is only about 900 meters, but it is blocked by a large tree more than ten meters high. Murong Xiaotian still cannot see the situation in front of the building.
I'm afraid that except for Ling'er, only people with the ability to detect things like Ming Xin's "mind's eye" can see clearly in this situation.
"Is that true?" Ling'er shook his head. Then he said: "The building is very strange. It is more like a human-shaped statue, but it is just a human head. And the entrance of the building is the mouth of the human-shaped statue."
A statue of a human head is thirty to forty meters high. Then the person himself should be hundreds of meters tall.
Of course, a statue is a statue. He cannot be the incarnation of a human being. But Murong Xiaotian knew that any statue in "Destiny" could not be aimless.
Just like the statues of the three hidden knights, he cannot escape from the main story of "Destiny"...the ancient war thousands of years ago.
Therefore, even if this statue has nothing to do with that war, it must have its own ancient legend.
It seems that this 'Hell Island' is much more complicated than I imagined.
There were no more pirates in the building. This meant that, except for a few leaders, the rest of the pirates had already rushed out and gathered in the jungle. Although this was a small comfort to Murong Xiaotian, it was detrimental to the entire war situation. .but no help.
Just looking at the pirates swarming in the 300-meter open space in front of you can use up the remaining energy ores. Next, what can you do to deal with the pirates in the jungle that are many times, or even ten times more than those outside.
"The pirates in the jungle do not rush out blindly. They are very organized and disciplined. They are filled out in layers in the form of legions according to their level; there are not many skeleton pirates and one-eyed pirates in the jungle anymore. "The next thing that appears should be the level 55 werewolf pirates; physical attack pirates. They are very fast. Their attack power is very powerful. They also have the ability to jump." Ling'er continued to report on the detected situation.
This news dealt another heavy blow to Murong Xiaotian's already miserable mood.
The level 50 one-eyed pirates, Kuang Zhan and their defense on the stairs are already quite strenuous. If they are facing these level 55 werewolf pirates, Kuang Zhan and Lei Ting Xuan will definitely not be able to defend.
Even if it is Juefeng, the result is the same. Werewolf pirates have the ability to jump. The strategy of using orc pirates as a shield is completely useless.
In this way, if you want to defend the stairs, except for the ghost warrior, the other three stairs will probably require two people to defend them.
However, including the heroes, they only have a total of nine people. There are seven people in the defensive ladder alone. There is almost no room for maneuver; even if there are still a lot of cannon energy ores, the situation is still very unfavorable.
What's more, there are not many energy ores left; in addition, the defense of Kuang Zhan and Lei Ting Xuan is extremely difficult. Without the assistance of the summoner, the speed of drinking life potion is quite astonishing.
Although Ghost Warrior and Jue Feng are better, they also need life potions to replenish their health.
No matter how much life potion Murong Xiaotian brought, after consuming it all night, the quantity would still be limited.
"The most troublesome thing is that behind the level 55 werewolf pirates are all 60-level long-range attack ghost-faced pirates." What Ling'er said again completely shattered Murong Xiaotian's remaining confidence. .
