Chapter 762 Clearing the Frost Lizard (Ⅰ)
After Hailaer finished talking about his plan, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
"What do you all think of my method?"
"Sounds pretty good, but I'm worried, would a frost lizard be that stupid?"
Holden raised concerns.
"At the beginning, we used this tactic to kill spiders very well. That's because the spiders have low intelligence. They know that they can't destroy the hut, but they will take the initiative to send them one after another. What if the frost lizard has a long memory after suffering a loss and is no longer fooled? "
"The mine is the lair of the frost lizards. Unless they are willing to escape from their lair, they have only two options: either they are picked out by the advance team and wiped out individually, or they gather together and make a wave. Is there any other way?"
Hailar retorted confidently, making Holden indisputable.
No matter how big the Qingbing Mine is, the space is limited after all. Klein and Scholz are very familiar with the tunnels, and it is easy to find the frost lizard's lair.
The Frost Lizard was hunted and hunted at the door of the house, and it could not hide for a while.
Whether they are willing or not, there are indeed only two options that Hailar pointed out.
And these two roads all lead to death.
Joan silently listened to the discussion with his companions, and finally gave a statistic, which provided strong support for Hailar's tactics from a more objective perspective.
"When I encountered a frost lizard in the mine yesterday, I used the 'advanced internal vision' technique to check the physical attributes of this monster."
"Six samples were selected before and after, and the frost lizard with the highest intelligence has only 6 points of intelligence."
What is the level of intelligence at 6 points?
First of all, it must be smarter than wild beasts and mutant spiders, but far worse than humans.
The ogre, known for its stupidity, is almost at the level of a 6-point intelligence attribute.
After listening to Joan's analysis of the intelligence level of the frost lizard, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
With the brains of the frost lizards, don't expect them to be able to see through Hailar's tricks.
The combat plan proposed by Hailaer has been unanimously supported by everyone, and the next step is to determine the candidates to participate in the battle.
The "shelter hut" can only accommodate up to ten people at the same time, which limits the upper limit of the number of people participating in the battle.
Joan, Hailar, and Zion's siblings, plus the choke monster "Gulu" that Joan subdued, accounted for half of the quota.
On the side of the dwarf prospecting team, Klein and Scholz will definitely join the battle.
The strength of other miners is much inferior to them, and they lack magic weapons. Bringing three more people will not increase their combat power much, but will be a drag.
Joan's team plus the two dwarves Klein and Scholz, the candidates for the battle were decided in this way.
A group of six people, together with the choke monster Gulu, entered the mine after breakfast, and launched a combat operation to wipe out the frost lizards.
Scholz is most familiar with the terrain inside the mine, and suggested that Joan place the "refuge hut" in the center of the ice cave he was attacked yesterday.
The terrain there is open, where the three tunnels meet, and there are many smaller natural ice caves nearby, which are the lairs of the frost lizards.
Joan turned on the navigation compass, checked the map, and confirmed that the ice cave mentioned by Scholz was indeed suitable for the team's stronghold, so he followed the dwarf and walked towards the location of the ice cave.
Considering the possibility of being attacked by frost lizards during the march, except for Joan, who doesn't need to fight head-on, the other five members of the team are all ready to take advantage of them.
Audrey's knight shield and long sword are both enchanted weapons.
Not to mention Holden's "humorous sword" and "funny gun".
Although Hailar's wave-bladed giant sword is not a magic weapon, Hailar can use the professional ability of the magic warrior to temporarily enchant the giant sword.
The Frost Lizard is a subspecies of the cold type, immune to cold damage, but also has a weakness to the fire type.
Hyrule made full use of this weakness of the Frost Lizard, spending 2 points of mana to temporarily upgrade the wave-bladed greatsword to a +1 blazing greatsword, and the blade gushed out flames like a burning torch.
Every time this flaming giant sword successfully hits the frost lizard, it will cause double fire damage.
The lethality of the giant sword is the strongest among the common melee weapons. Adding the special effects of enchantment and double damage, if a frost lizard is unfortunately hit by Hailar's full strength sword, at most it will only have half its life left.
Klein's full set of equipment, including shields, armor, horned helmets and war hammers, are magical equipment.
In particular, Klein's warhammer can not only be used for close combat, but can also be thrown to strike distant enemies, and it will automatically return to the owner's hand.
This "magic flying hammer" is the most respected weapon of the dwarf nobles in Nidaville.
Flint Anvil, an old dwarf in Joan's hometown of Derlin, also has a magical warhammer of the same style.
In terms of seniority, Flint and Klein are cousins, but they are farther related.
Scholz is a level 10 dwarf warrior with both melee and ranged shots, and has two enchanted weapons.
The melee weapon is a +1 heavy pickaxe, and the long-range attack relies on a magic crystal shotgun produced by Schmidt Arsenal.
Scholz's shotgun has the special effect of "blazing flames". The bullets fired will burst out with additional fire damage the moment they hit the target, and even ignite the target. It is most suitable for shooting cold monsters like frost lizards.
During the trip to the central ice cave, Joan and the others were attacked by frost lizards twice.
Two came the first time, and one came the second time, and they were shot dead on the spot without any suspense.
In these two encounters, the two magic guns of Holden and Scholz performed the most brilliantly.
Audrey, Hyrule, and Klein focused on defense, blocking the Frost Lizard in the front row, while Scholz and Holden calmly sniped from behind, blasting the Frost Lizard to pieces.
Joan didn't make a move in these two battles, so there's no need to waste precious spell slots for such a small scene.
The other teammates took the opportunity to hone their tactical coordination. The three of them fought close to each other and paired with two gunners. The lineup was very reasonable.
This lineup can not only guarantee their own safety, but also has a high efficiency in hunting frost lizards.
It took an hour, and everyone arrived at the scheduled location without any risk.
Scholz returned to the place where he rushed to the street yesterday, gearing up, and kept saying that he would be ashamed.
Joan was in the middle of the ice cave, and he could still see the ice surface that was crushed by his foot after he turned into a tree man yesterday.
On the shattered ice, light blue bloodstains still remained, and the outline of a frost lizard was vaguely shown in the cracks.
The frost lizard that was stuck into the ice by Joan's foot was dissected by him last night and made into a specimen.
In addition to the way Joan and the others came, there are two tunnels connected to the ice cave, and the roar of the frost lizard can be heard from afar.
This is the only place where frost lizards go out to look for food, and they may be besieged by large groups of frost lizards at any time.
In order to avoid unexpected accidents, Qiao An seized the time to cast a spell and successfully created a "refuge hut" in the center of the ice cave.
