Chapter 271 Pre-War Arrangements (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets)

The father and son walked one after the other through a dense jungle, walking on the soft soil, trampling out wide remnants. Gradually, the soil under their feet became hard, and the two began to climb the mountain along the slope of exposed rocks.

A few minutes later, the two arrived ten kilometers away. The slope ended here, and the surrounding terrain began to open up, with rugged rocks on the ground.

Rhett followed the sensed direction, pointed to a thin snake covered with black scales in a crack, and said: "Taylors, go. It is your second opponent. Defeating it will prove that your actual combat level is qualified in my eyes, and the test for you will be over."

"Really? Father!" Thales said happily, and then looked at the happy expression of the black scales, and his heart was eager to try, and a flash of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes!

But he was not careless. Since his father deliberately picked a new opponent, the difficulty must have increased. This battle may not be as easy as solving the violent earth bear.

"Keep your word. Go ahead. I'll watch you here." Lei Te nodded, then quietly hid his breath and slowly retreated.

"Okay!"

Taylors' eyes flickered, and he responded, then cast the second-level dark magic - Shadow Cloak. The whole person was wrapped in dark elements again, shielding the light and disappearing from the naked eye.

He rushed towards the second-level magic beast - Black Scale Snake, which was resting on the ground, step by step. When he was close to a hundred meters away, he stopped and prepared to cast a shadow arrow. As a second-level magician, this was the only attack magic he had mastered.

The air became dark, and a shadow arrow quickly condensed, with a layer of light black mist on the surface. It shuttled through the air silently and stealthily, flying towards the magic beast lying in the cracks of the stone.

At the same time, Taylors slowed down, keeping a certain distance from the black-scaled snake, and looked cautious.

Hiss

Hiss

The black-scaled snake, which was originally immersed in sleep, suddenly woke up. With the approach of the dark element, the scales on its body swayed slightly like a mimosa, its snake tongue flickered like lightning, and its eyes were cold. Suddenly, it shot up like a black lightning, bringing a gust of cold black wind, and whizzed towards Thales.

"So fast!"

Tales exclaimed subconsciously, and then he also found that the shadow cloak that had been invincible this time seemed to be ineffective. The black-scaled snake easily dodged the sneak attack of the shadow arrow and shot directly in his direction. The stealth effect did not work on it at all!

At the tense moment, Thales realized that he could not dodge at all. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his thoughts were running wildly!

"No, I can only force it. The best defense is offense." Thales' mind popped up a sentence that Tucker had said before. He thought it was a bit reckless at the time, but now he felt it made a lot of sense!

So the dark elements in the air gathered crazily, and a black arrow quickly appeared, carrying the breath of darkness, and stabbed the black-scaled snake silently.

A cold look flashed in the eyes of the black-scaled snake, and its sharp teeth were green and toxic. Facing the arrows, its body twisted at a strange angle in the air, and it easily avoided the shooting of the shadow arrows with its snake skin. Then it shot at Thales with the remaining force!

There was an acidic and fishy smell in the air, which was the body odor of the black-scaled snake. Ordinary people would feel uncomfortable for a long time just by smelling it.

At this moment, Thales felt completely helpless. He didn't know how to fight back. He even had the idea of ​​twitching his legs to escape, but compared with the black-scaled snake, his speed was like a snail, and even escaping became a luxury.

The black-scaled snake spit out its snake tongue, and the instinct of the monster made it feel that it had the upper hand. A sense of brutality surged in its heart, and the smaller snake head instantly turned into a pouring mouth!

Thales panicked and had to use his last trump card - shouting loudly: "Father, save me!"

The black-scaled snake, who could not understand human language, thought it was the fearful howl of its prey before death, so it became more excited, frequently swung its tail in the air, and even opened its mouth wider, as if it wanted to swallow a mountain!

However, silently, a tiny spike in the air formed in front of the black-scaled snake at a high speed, emitting a trembling sound, and suddenly drilled into its mouth without warning.

The black-scaled snake was stunned. The speed of the khaki needle from appearing to shooting into its mouth was too fast, and it did not react at all.

Even Thales was blurred and did not see clearly what happened just now.

But the next moment-

Bang!

A dull explosion sounded, accompanied by the shattering of flesh and blood, splashing blood, and the black snake scales were scattered everywhere like pieces of flying flowers and fallen leaves. The scene was bloody and had a hint of evil horror.

Taylor blinked and stared at the front. If he saw it right, the black-scaled snake just now... should have exploded by itself, right?

Did the father take action?

How did the father do it?

Doubts kept piling up, and finally turned into one answer - the father is invincible!

Taylor patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. It would be good if he died. He really felt the threat of death at the last moment!

"Taylor, how do you feel about the battle just now?"

Rhett's voice gradually floated from behind, stepping on one rock after another and coming to Taylor's side.

He patted Taylor's shoulder and flicked off a few black scales that fell on his body. He looked at it and felt relieved that he was not hurt by the aftermath of the shock wave. Just now, he just used the shock mystery, attached to the tiny cone thorns condensed by the earth element, and dealt with a second-level monster without any effort.

Upon hearing this question, Thales's face immediately fell, and he said in frustration: "Father, am I terrible? Facing a black-scaled snake of the same level, I have almost no power to resist.

I'm sorry, I didn't meet your father's standards! "

"Do you know what my standards are for you?" Leiter asked with a smile.

Thales shook his head: "I don't know, please tell me, father, and I will try my best!"

"Children, my standard for you is to live well. But it is not easy to do this, because you may face various crises in the future. I hope that even if I am not around, you will be able to deal with it on your own!" Leiter He smiled and said: "So this standard can be regarded as almost nothing, or it can be regarded as having no upper limit."

Thales was a little confused. He looked at his father and asked, "Does that mean continuous improvement? But how should I improve myself? Take just now, I couldn't avoid the speed of the black-scaled snake just now, and its reaction was super fast. Contrary to my imagination, I can't hide smoothly, and it's hard for shadow arrow attacks to be effective."

"Think more, experience more, and summarize more." Leiter thought for a while and gave the answer, then explained: "For example, at the beginning, you dealt with the violent soil bear. The reason why you were able to kill it successfully was Because he exploited his strengths and circumvented his weaknesses, he seized on its weaknesses and took advantage of the concealment of dark magic, so he was able to capture it.

It can face the black-scaled snake with the potential of the mid-level bloodline. It is a dark-type monster and has a keen sense of dark elements. The effect of your shadow cloak is greatly reduced in front of it, so your identity is exposed as soon as you come up, and the advantage of dark magic is gone. .

And you are only a second-level magician. Although you have more magical abilities than a knight, you do not have many combat methods at the low-level level. If the combat advantage is restrained, we need to make up for it through combat experience and skills, spell casting level, etc. "

Thales said thoughtfully: "I also feel that as a dark magician, it seems that he is at a low-level stage and is more suitable for reconnaissance, hiding, sneak attacks, etc., and his frontal combat effectiveness is indeed weak. The failure just now, my father wanted to Tell me, do you need to make a strategic retreat when facing an invincible opponent?"

"..."

Leiter stroked his forehead, took a deep breath and said: "Yes, that's right. When facing an opponent whose strength is far superior to yours and only chasing you, it is important to save your life. But life is long and there are always helplessness. We need to find ways to defeat our opponents if we cannot escape or cannot escape!”

Thales frowned, "Then do I have any chance of winning against the Black Scaled Snake?"

"Of course!" Leiter patted Thales heavily on the shoulder: "Child, you have to believe that you are the embodiment of wisdom and strength. You must distinguish the timing of advance and retreat in battle. You just leaned towards the black-scaled snake when you came up. That's wrong. The mistake is too low-level. As a low-level monster, the Black Scale Snake is far less intelligent than humans. This weakness must be taken advantage of in battle. "

"How to use it? Father, please give me some advice!" Taylor asked puzzledly.

"Although the black-scaled snake is sensitive to dark elements, it cannot finely perceive every element. This is where you can operate." Leiter took a deep look at Thales, stopped here, and planned to Leave some room for reflection.

Thales stood there, thinking hard, his eyebrows on his forehead knitted together, his head lowered and silent.

After a moment, seeing Thales still frowning and thinking, Leiter shook his head and gave a hint: "Think about the method you used when dealing with the violent earth bear. Why not use it on the black-scaled snake?"

"Methods to deal with the violent earth bear..." Thales murmured, and gradually his eyes flashed with surprise, and he soon realized it, and said: "Father, I have an idea. The violent earth bear was once confused by the black mist of the dark element during the battle. , so that the trajectory of the shadow arrow cannot be captured in time. Do you want me to use the same method to confuse the black-scaled snake's perception?"

"That's right." Leiter nodded with a smile and said: "Although it is many times more difficult to confuse the black-scaled snake than the violent earth bear, if you don't try, how will you know whether it can work? Even if you can confuse it for a second, This will give you a lot of opportunities in battle!”

"That makes so much sense!"

Looking at the body of the black-scaled snake, Thales's eyes gradually brightened, he clenched his fists and said seriously: "I will start practicing after I go back. My next goal is to defeat the black-scaled snake of the same level!"

"Taylors, take it one step at a time, I'm optimistic about you!" Leiter encouraged.

After the instruction of the Dark Pattern Eagle Branch, Leiter took Thales to the extraordinary training ground because the latter shouted that he would not leave until he completely mastered this technique.

And with the arrival of his lord, naturally there was also the noise of the extraordinary people practicing among them, their eyes full of awe and envy.

Leiter randomly selected two people and gave them some guidance on spell casting before leaving the extraordinary training ground.

"What? Father, you want to hunt two hundred third-level monsters? And you only want corpses?"

At the Administrative Office of Dark Eagle City, Rylai exclaimed in surprise. He stood up from his chair and felt that his father's request was somewhat inexplicable.

Leiter was facing away from Relai at the moment, looking out the window at the people coming and going, the houses and buildings, and said: "Yes, as a new city, we in Dark Eagle City hold some activities to unite people and improve satisfaction. What's wrong with it?"

Rylai leaned in front of Zhuo, supported himself with one hand, and said: "Okay, what Father said makes sense. We have indeed not held any events in Dark Eagle City. Please give me some guidance on this." "

"It's very simple. Just buy at double the price, limited to level 3 corpses, and the time limit must be within three days." Lei Te made the request.

"No problem, I will find someone to draft a notice and put it on the notice board in the central square." Although he felt that his father's request was a bit abrupt, it was not worth mentioning for the wealthy Dark Eagle City, so Rui Lai nodded and agreed.

Rui Lai looked at the empty cup in his father's hand and said, "Father, do you need a cup of tea?"

"Yes, do you have Blue Mountain fruit tea?"

"Of course, Carlton sends it to me regularly every month, I will make it for you now!"

Listening to the humming sound of tea, Lei Te looked up at the blue sky and suddenly asked, "Rui Lai, what level of mental power have you reached, and how long will it take to reach the peak?"

"Last winter, Nina's awakening helped me reach the late stage. But another year of practice, plus Nina's awakening in winter, may help me reach the peak." Rui Lai thought for a while and said.

Lei Te frowned slightly: "Are there enough Moonlight Potion? Don't be stingy with resources, and strive to reach the peak of level three this winter!"

"I'll try my best, father!"

After leaving Dark Eagle City, Lei Te went to the Alchemy Tower without stopping.

An alchemy room on the third floor.

"Philos, the temperature of the flame must be kept constant. You haven't done enough in this regard. You need to work harder!" Maruna said slowly, facing a bronze furnace, staring at the scorching flames in it.

On the other side of the furnace, Philos' forehead was dripping with sweat. He was constantly condensing the flame with his mental power. Moreover, unlike the blacksmith, the flame was controlled by the outside world, and the temperature accuracy was not high. It mainly relied on the forging skills. Philos, under the guidance of Maruna, a mid-level alchemy equipment master, was controlling the flame to change constantly. Sometimes it was like a spreading attack, and sometimes it was like a flame drill. There were many changes, but no matter how it changed, it strictly followed a certain route and burned a magic wand, leaving complex patterns.

After hearing the teacher's evaluation, Philos became more serious, and the color of the flame stopped shaking and gradually stabilized. Maruna gradually showed a smile on his face. He had made a lot of progress compared to last time. If he made a little more progress, he would be able to become a formal alchemy equipment master!
