Chapter 21 The players' wasteland battle and Simba's complaints
"Start a group by clearing up the spider lair! Come with a three-piece set of hiltless dagger, armor, and shield! Come if you have completed the new course more than three times and have not been injured when facing underground spiders! Don't come if you have no experience! Ten
If you go offline within two hours, don’t come!”
At the entrance of the dungeon, Umekawa Kuko was shouting this at the top of his lungs. Beside him, Arthur was sitting cross-legged on the ground, sharpening his sword with a stone. Beside them, there were already gatherings of flaming chest hair.
, Sakuragong Cat Demon, Sylvanas, these players who are pioneering for the first time, in addition to the five of them, there are more than a dozen other players nearby, the total number reaches about twenty, they gathered together and whispered
We were chatting, discussing strategies for dealing with underground spiders on the forum, and checking whether we had brought the dry food in our pockets. Naturally, these dry food were also bought from the blacksmith Simba.
With the voice of Umekawa Kuko, more and more players have come closer. In fact, he has been shouting here for more than ten minutes. By the way, he is waiting for a few players who are about to finish their skill training.
Sherlock naturally noticed the actions of these players from another world, but this was not the first time that they spontaneously formed a group to go to the spider lair.
Just a success.
The players quickly formed a team. Originally, there were only a hundred players in the first test, and they had been shouting for more than ten minutes. In addition, the conditions were so harsh, and everyone who could participate had already signed up. Arthur and the others
No longer waiting, about twenty people set off in the direction of the spider lair.
Sherlock used the core in the core hall of the dungeon to check the movements of these players, and saw that those players had been walking along the road of the dungeon towards the spider lair. During this section of the road, Sherlock had already been in the official
A map has been published on the website, so these players will naturally not get lost. In addition, the opened door is the only way to the spider lair. After walking for an hour, these players arrived near the spider lair.
These players have been trained by Moros for several days. Most of them have taken several courses. I can’t say they are experienced, but they are no longer the newbies at the beginning. Most of these players have participated in it before.
It is the second time for players to open up wasteland. Although they were beaten to death the second time, they are full of confidence this time.
After seeing these players arriving at the door of the spider lair, they were not in a hurry to go in like the second time. Instead, they went around in a fan shape to hide. Then Umekawa Kuzi went out first with a shield and dagger and stood there.
He shouted "waaaaa!" for a long time at the door. When he shouted, the spiders near the door were of course alerted immediately, and four underground spiders rushed towards Umekawa Kuko.
.
When Umekawa Kuko saw that the underground spider had been lured out by him, he quickly ran towards the encirclement net set up by the players. Those players saw the underground spider coming, and when they saw that the location was almost there, they rushed out together.
, rushed towards those underground spiders.
Those underground spiders don’t have any IQ. How could they know that they were lured out by players to kill them alone? Besides, these players came here several times to bring meat. These underground spiders saw these goblins again.
When Lin came, let alone being afraid of the crowd, he was not afraid at all and rushed towards these players.
"Tank! Hold on to the hatred! All four are here!" (Tank: an online game term, someone who resists monsters and takes damage)
Umekawa Kuko shouted loudly while running towards the crowd.
"Two tanks pull one, and the others take advantage of the opportunity to deal damage. Don't be greedy for damage. Just hit and retreat!"
Arthur also shouted at this time. There was a player next to him holding a shield, and he rushed towards the nearest spider, slapping the shield with his dagger and shouting, and soon the spider's attention was
He was attracted by the player, and he raised his legs to come over and give him a heart-wrenching blow.
But just as the spider passed by, he saw Arthur rushing past from the side, very fast, holding a shield in one hand and a dagger in the other. Taking advantage of the spider's attention being attracted, he lifted the dagger from the side.
The sword slashed towards the belly of the underground spider, and with a dagger pointed at the spider's belly, green blood immediately splashed out. Arthur was sprinkled with green blood and quickly jumped aside.
, the spider was slashed by Arthur. After suffering the pain, he turned around to deal with Arthur. However, as soon as the spider turned around to deal with Arthur, it was immediately rushed up by the player waiting on the side and came from behind.
After a while, the spider turned its head again, but another player responsible for attracting attention came up to knock on the shield and threatened the underground spider with a dagger. These underground spiders have low IQs and generally only attack those closest to them.
When people react, they do not judge who is a threat and eliminate them first. This gives players the opportunity to use this to attract spider hatred. This little trick was taught to them by Moros during training.
.
These players divided the work in an orderly manner, and assigned the division of labor during the battle based on their own reactions, speed, attack strength, calmness during the battle, etc. More than twenty players quickly assigned the four underground spiders to
Divided up and dealing with each other, several people took turns to fight, using shields to protect themselves while using daggers to continuously inflict damage to the spiders. It didn't take long for those underground spiders to be a little unable to hold on, and some spiders wanted to run away.
When the players saw these spiders trying to run away, how could they let them go? In order to open up a spider nest, they were working hard to train themselves. Seeing that they were about to kill a spider personally, they had to risk their lives.
Keep them!
The players' attacks began to become more crazy, and they were almost injured by spiders several times. Fortunately, under the protection of the shield, there was no serious problem. Not long after, the first underground spider fell to the ground without moving.
, followed by the second one, and the third one fell to the ground, but the fourth one sprinted, pushed up the player who was attracting his hatred, and then ran away with wounds all over his body.
Although one spider escaped, the players are still very satisfied with their results. From being killed by spiders without leaving any trace behind, to being able to surround four spiders and kill three, this is already a great improvement.
, In fact, in terms of the physical fitness of creatures like goblins, although they are not as good as spiders, their flexibility is still better than spiders. In addition, the IQ of players from these other worlds is very low.
They are much stronger than these spiders. As long as you overcome your inner fear, have a little experience and training, and work together as a team, it is really not that difficult to kill the underground spiders.
Sherlock looked at the players celebrating on the core screen and did not expect that these players had made such great progress in such a short period of time. He originally thought that these players from another world would have to train for a month at least.
Only then can I kill the underground spiders. I didn’t expect that in just a few days, I would be able to form a group to kill them. To be honest, the speed of progress was a bit beyond Sherlock’s expectations.
The players killed the underground spiders, and then began to inspect the bodies of the three underground spiders. They didn't know what they were inspecting. Sherlock was about to take a closer look. At this time, Simba was outside.
After coming in, Simba started to mutter and complain, mainly complaining that the goblins were not considerate of him at all. They kept urging for weapons, armors and shields, and did not give themselves any time to rest.
It seems that he doesn't need to sleep, and when sleeping, players often come over to check his sleep status, preventing him from falling asleep normally. Of course, this is a more civilized way of saying it. According to Simba himself:
"Do these idiots who are not fully evolved think that they are the only ones who need to sleep and no one else needs to sleep? When I was sleeping, they would come over and pull my sleeping bag. At that time, I wanted to smash their heads with a hammer.
Look what’s stuffed inside!”
Simba's resentment is very deep. Obviously, he has a lot of dissatisfaction with the players during this period, and it is on the verge of exploding. As for the goblin and the novice skill trainer Mo, who are also regarded as "NPCs" by the players.
Of the two Roses, one is still a slave and dare not complain even if he is being harassed crazily by the players. The other one is still in great shock and regards Sherlock as a god. These goblins are also treated as such by Moros.
Tsukuru was Shylock's loyal and close servant. Even when he was woken up by someone when he was sleeping, he didn't have any big complaints, at least not to the extent of Sherlock's complaints.
After listening to Simba's complaints, and seeing the dark circles on Simba's face, Sherlock also thought that Simba and Moros should arrange their dormitory rooms quickly. As for the other players, they could only
Let’s postpone it for now!
Sherlock quickly comforted Simba, and then went out to start arranging the construction of a single dormitory for the two of them. As for the little goblin, Sherlock did not intend to build a separate room for her, and Sherlock was not sympathetic.
Why build a house for a man who is unwilling to work? Besides, Sherlock didn't think that the little goblin would be willing to live in the house he built. Looking at it now, it would be more convenient for the little goblin to live in the fields by himself.
At ease.
Although building two houses is not a big project, it cannot be completed overnight. Sherlock quickly selected some players with very skilled construction skills through the dungeon core "Bru" to be responsible for building the blacksmith Simba and the skill trainer.
Of course, this task is rewarded with bonuses, more copper coins, and more reputation, to ensure that these players will work hard to complete it in the shortest possible time.
The players were also very happy that they were chosen to do such a task. While building a house for Simba, one of the players said to the players next to him:
"This dungeon is really awesome. Not only is the environment interactive, but we also built the houses ourselves for the NPCs. The blacksmith's house is ready. I'll go back and try to get in through the window, just in case the blacksmith puts something in the house.
I might be able to find everything!"
As soon as the player finished speaking, Simba threw the hammer over, which attracted admiration from the players nearby - the NPC interactive mechanism is awesome!
It has been a long time since Sherlock arranged things for Simba and Moros' houses. Sherlock was about to go back to see how the players who were opening up the wasteland were doing when he heard a burst of noise coming from the door.
