Chapter 129: Ambush and Bugs
After understanding each other's situation, you can start the war. However, this task does not start directly by teleporting to the task location. You need to go to the task location to complete it yourself.
"About the mission location..." Ashford said hesitantly: "It should be said that it is a very troublesome place. Especially for us."
"Why?" Kristina didn't understand what Ashford meant.
Alice on the side explained: "Let me explain this. The reason why this mission location is a relatively bad place is mainly because it is a public mission area."
Public mission area, a special map in the game. You can think of it as a copy mission, which is a special space outside the main map. However, general copy tasks are divided into several situations. Some copies are unique, which means that once an individual or team enters, other people or teams cannot enter again. This kind of copy is called a unique copy. Another type of copy is the most common copy, which is a parallel copy that can be split infinitely. This type of dungeon is actually no different from the first type for players or groups of players who enter the dungeon, because for those who have already entered, no one will come in to disturb you, and you can complete the dungeon tasks with peace of mind. However, if someone is outside and wants to enter the dungeon, the dungeon will not reject him, but will open a parallel dungeon to allow new players to enter. No matter how many people come, this kind of dungeon can open as many parallel dungeons as you want without any limit. Everyone can play at the same time without interfering with each other.
The so-called public mission area we are about to enter now is the third type of copy - an open copy. This kind of copy is the same as the first one, but it will not restrict people's access. In other words, after you enter, others can enter at any time, and you can meet and interact with each other inside. Sometimes this kind of interaction is a good thing, because they can exchange and cooperate with each other in terms of information, items, or personnel. However, sometimes this kind of interaction can also produce some bad situations. For example, if you are doing a task inside, and then a group of enemies come, they may not even do the task, but just make trouble for you, which will increase the difficulty of the task. So, this kind of mission is not necessarily a bad thing, but in most cases players don't like this kind of mission, because the possibility of being destroyed is very high, and once it is destroyed, it will be very depressing. After all, this kind of situation where someone sabotaged the mission was entirely a failure caused by someone else, and no one would be happy if it were his fault.
Alice just said that this is a public mission area, which is an open dungeon that we don't like, and then Ashford said: "Originally, the public dungeon was nothing, but the problem now is, where is our mission?" This public dungeon is a very large dungeon, in which hundreds of related or unrelated tasks are often carried out at the same time. Recently, two groups of people that I really don’t want to see are also active in this dungeon area, so... "
"That means our mission process will definitely be interfered with, right?" I asked to confirm.
Ashford nodded helplessly and said: "When we first entered, the other party didn't know the news, and it might be delayed for a while, but then it won't be sure. But we can be sure that the other party will know that we have entered, and they will definitely execute it. interference."
"Is there a way to resolve it?" Kristina asked. "How did the conflict between you arise? If the problem is not serious, it would be better to just apologize and get a temporary peace agreement."
Ashford directly pointed to the mission scroll and said: "This thing was stolen from them."
"Pretend I didn't say it." Kristina gave up helplessly.
"Okay, no matter what, the enemy is inevitable, but we don't need to be too pessimistic." I encouraged: "With so many masters here, what can the other party do to us even if they interfere?"
In fact, I seriously underestimated the other party's destructive power, because after two hours, what I said could do to us became a joke.
There was no problem when Ashford took us to the entrance of the dungeon. We didn't encounter any trouble after entering. However, after walking out of a small forest, trouble started.
The area we are in now is a valley with sloping hillsides on both sides. Although it is not a cliff, the slope is as high as more than 70 degrees. If you use your hands and feet together, a dexterous person can still climb up. If you don't use your hands, you can even be a professional mountaineer. It will probably be very difficult to walk. However, what bothers us now is not the hills on both sides, because our mission target is on the opposite side of the valley, not on the top of the mountain, so we don't have to climb the mountain. What really bothered us was the ground in the valley. This place should have been a valley filled with dead branches and leaves, but now, it has become a swamp. According to the information I got from several players who came from the front, this place should have been relatively easy to walk before, but the current situation suddenly changed like this an hour ago. It feels like someone is here. Used a wide range of quagmire techniques.
Those players didn't know the reason, so they just made wild guesses, but after we learned about the situation, we immediately looked at Ashford. Ashford also nodded directly to confirm. Needless to say, this is a good thing done by those two so-called enemies. It has only been two hours since we entered this mission dungeon, and this place became like this an hour ago, which means that it took the other party less than an hour to discover that we had entered the dungeon and set up a trap here.
"It doesn't look like the situation here is very good!" I asked Ashford, looking at the road ahead. "Can we consider passing through the ridges on both sides?"
Ashford also looked up at the ridges on both sides, then nodded and said: "Although the mission didn't say this, I think it should be possible."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's climb the mountain." I said and started climbing up the mountain.
Although the slope of the mountains on both sides is very large, it is not a smooth plane. In fact, the mountain cannot be really smooth, especially the rocky slopes. The protruding rocks can carry a considerable weight, so as long as you use your hands and feet, climbing up is still no problem. Moreover, we don’t have to climb up at all. I took a rope and threw one end to them, then I picked up the other end and spread my wings and flew over the ridge. As long as I land on 0, I can pull them up again.
In fact, although this road is difficult to walk, what really limits us is the copy itself. If this dungeon mission did not limit the number of people, then we could bring mounts in. Ye Ying didn't say anything like that, even getting a few high-level war horses wouldn't be so strenuous.
Originally, I thought it would be easy to go up to the top of the mountain with a rope, but...it seems that I made things simple.
The moment I gradually separated from everyone and flew to the height of the ridge, I suddenly saw a golden light coming from behind the ridge. I almost instinctively turned to one side and felt numbness on my face. Something with a large amount of electric charge flew past my face and landed on the opposite hillside, followed by a bang. There was a loud noise, and a large crater was directly blasted on the opposite slope. A stone weighing several tons was lifted up more than six meters high and flew directly to the hillside here. Fortunately, the angle was wrong and no one of us was hit.
After I confirmed that I was being attacked, I immediately wanted to summon a phoenix dragon to appear on the spot to help me grab the rope, and then go over to fight. However, before I could call out, I suddenly remembered that the phoenix dragon could not be summoned here. In desperation, He had no choice but to throw the rope and fly towards the ridge.
Originally, my purpose was to fly to the ridge and kill the guy who sneaked up on me, but I didn't expect that when I landed on the ridge, I was dumbfounded. There were no camouflaged sniper archers as I imagined behind the ridge, but a square formation of archers standing neatly, with at least over a thousand people.
"Holy shit!" When I found such a large group of people, the other party had already drawn the bow, and before I could react, I suddenly heard the sound of a bow string vibrating, followed by flying arrows all over the sky like a meteor shower. Shooting towards me. "Damn Ashford, who did you offend?" I only had time to sigh and hurriedly squatted down and curled up into a ball as much as possible, then put the Dragon Soul Shield in front and spread the wings. They formed a semicircle upside down on the ground to protect themselves firmly in the middle.
Almost at the moment I completed my defense, the locust-like rain of arrows rained down from the sky at the same time. I could only hear a thumping sound from my wings and shield, and I could feel the ground around me shaking through the soles of my feet.
Although my side was covered by the rain of swords, the archers on the opposite side didn't fare well either. Just when I was hit by the first arrow, a large black cloud suddenly appeared above the heads of the people on the opposite side. This cloud is very low, only a hundred meters above the ground. The inky black clouds rolled like a big ball of dyed black cotton, not normal clouds because they were so dense.
At the same time that the cloud appeared, the archers below collectively noticed the changes above their heads. Although it was dusk now, it was not dark yet. This large cloud flew so low and just covered them. It was obvious that the person coming was evil. If you didn't notice it, your alertness would be too low.
However, although they noticed the cloud, those guys did not notice the terrifying magic power brewing in the cloud.
Ding. Just after the cloud formed, an arrow hit my shield. The arrow was immediately blocked by the shield, and the arrow shaft broke and fell to the ground. However, almost at the same time, there was a sudden light in the cloud over there, and then someone discovered that a circle of light in the cloud gathered in the center of the cloud, and then directly converged into a winding electric snake from The sky reaches the ground.
boom. The winding Razer did not land directly on the ground, but landed accurately on the head of an archer. Then it was like the whole person turned into a big firecracker, and the whole body exploded into blood all over the sky. Fog, nothing is left.
This lightning strike seemed to be just the beginning. As my shield and wing blades continued to be hit, the thunderclouds on the opposite side also fired lightning downwards at the same frequency, and every time it hit one person accurately, the person who was hit. Usually it will explode into a cloud of blood mist all over the sky. The worse one will turn into a living person roasted by charcoal. The worst one will just fall to the ground and spit out foam, but at least it is considered a skill if someone can survive.
In fact, this thing that continuously bombards the opponent is a kind of magic that everyone is familiar with-Thunderstorm. This magic is divided into two types: offensive and defensive. The offensive thundercloud storm is actively released by the mage. Usually, a large thundercloud will form above the mage's head and then move with the mage. As long as a hostile unit enters the attack range, this thundercloud will automatically attack. Although it can only release one lightning bolt at a time, it is very fast and powerful. This attack will not stop as long as the spell duration is not reached or the enemy is destroyed. Of course, defensive thunderstorms are a little milder.
The defensive thundercloud storm will also automatically attack, but instead of attacking all enemies within the strike range, it will only attack those who attack the subject. This kind of defensive thunderstorm is usually a passive skill attached to the equipment, and some mages can also cast thundercloud storm on others. After being used this skill, the person with the big cloud on his head will turn into a hedgehog. Whoever attacks him, the thunder cloud will float to his head and chop him. However, unlike the offensive type that attacks endlessly, the defensive thundercloud storm will not continue to attack endlessly. The defensive Thunder Cloud Storm will only counterattack according to the enemy's attack. Once the enemy hits you, he will fight back once. Once the opponent stops, he will stop immediately.
The thundercloud storm on my body is a defensive thundercloud storm, and it is a skill that comes with the equipment, so I don't need to consume magic power. In addition, since the Dragon Soul Suit on my body is itself a top-notch artifact and has been strengthened so many times, the accompanying skills have become a bit exaggerated. Although their thunderstorms are quite powerful, a single thunderstorm has never happened before. However, dozens of people on my side were killed in one breath, and more people were rolling all over the ground. Straight up.
The other party set up an ambush just to make us look good, but to their surprise, they didn't do anything to me, but they themselves suffered a lot. A good phalanx of archers immediately became sparse after a round of arrow rain. It seemed that the number of troops was reduced by at least 30 to 40%. Based on this efficiency, they would doubt whether anyone in this group of archers would be alive in the next two rounds.
"What's going on here?" After receiving a hail of arrows, I spread my wings and stood up again, and Kristina just came up and landed next to me. Because I just dropped the rope and flew over, Kristina had to take over the task of transporting the rope to the top of the mountain. The Son of the Night teleports quickly, but if he brings a rope, he will be teleported to the top of the mountain head to tail, and the four people on Ashford's side are all ground troops. Such a high flying ratio in our guild is absolutely unique among other guilds. This is actually normal for Ashford and the others.
Originally, Kristina just came up to deliver the rope, but as soon as she landed, she saw the group of archers below. Before, she saw the thunderclouds here and heard the continuous thunder strikes, so she knew that there must be a fight here, but now she realized that the attacker was actually a phalanx of archers. Even though it was like a bald man's head missing several pieces after being chopped by my thunder clouds, the general shape of this square formation can still be seen. Kristina was also shocked by the enemy's generosity. I've heard of ambushing archers halfway, but I've never heard of ambushing a phalanx of archers at once. This is a new experience for us. Of course, I would rather not taste this delicacy.
"I'll leave this to you." Looking at Kristina who was a little dazed, I said directly.
Kristina, who was a little slow just now, reacted immediately when she heard what I said, and then quickly nodded and said: "No problem, leave this to me."
While we were talking, the archers below who had not been struck by lightning had already started firing their second round of volleys. Seeing the locust-like rain of arrows rising into the sky again, Kristina waved her hand unhurriedly. A whirlwind blew horizontally in front of us, and then we saw the batch of flying arrows deviating directly from our direction and flying towards our right rear.
Before the archers below could even react to what was happening, they saw a large number of magic bullets of various types rushing towards them in an unorganized manner. The archer phalanx, which had maintained its intact formation even after being combed by thunderclouds, was finally thrown into disarray by this terrifying tide of magic. The archers began to rush around, but what flew over was not ordinary magic bullets, but Kristina's magic bullets. Although Kristina's magic bullets and those fired by ordinary magicians are both magic bullets, people who know her well know that Kristina's magic bullets are the real terrifying magic, while ordinary magicians' magic bullets, that one It can be called a magic trick, because Kristina not only has many magic bullets, but also can track them.
The fleeing archers did not cause any trouble for the locking of the magic bullets. Those magic bullets turned at extremely strange speeds, and then stared at the nearest target and directly hit it. Then there were flowers everywhere, and there was a loud banging sound, just like an accident at a fireworks party, and all the fireworks exploded on the ground. Magic bullets of various colors, red and white, bloomed one after another. Then among the crowd opposite, there were also red and white bullets, and human body parts were flying everywhere.
"Okay, let's call it a day." He glanced at the hillside below. At this time, it had turned into a place like a slaughterhouse. The originally gray-white rocks were all dyed the color of flesh and blood, but due to the brilliance of the setting sun, the color of flesh and blood was given a little bit of golden red, and the result turned into a beautiful and terrifying abstract painting. If it's not good, you might vomit immediately after seeing it.
"Holy shit, what's going on?" Ashford and the others finally got up to speed, and as soon as they got up, they saw this scene in front of them. Because the bomb was so shattered, they only know that many people died here, but they can't tell the specific situation at all.
Kristina replied nonchalantly: "Your enemies ambushed a whole group of archers here, but I have already eliminated them all."
"Can you break through the restrictions and use your ultimate move?" Al looked at Kristina in surprise and asked.
Kristina shook her head and said: "It's not a big move, it's my magic skill called Elemental Explosion. Using this skill, you can use many small magics to splice into one large magic, but in fact it's still a bunch of small magics, so The firing speed is very fast and there is no limit. But what I am most proud of is that this technique can save a lot of mana."
Kristina was previously known as the No. 1 fort in Europe, and now it has been promoted to the No. 1 fort in the world. At most, they can only walk on their own in human form, that is, one person can hold a cannon, but Kristina is a fort. A fort does not only have one cannon. A fort should have at least two digits of artillery before it can be called a fort. Otherwise, there is no point in having too few cannons, right? Therefore, this fort is at least a collection of artillery pieces.
Others can only hold up one cannon, but Kristina can hold up an artillery position by herself. The reason is because of her elemental bursting skills. This technique of hers was something she came up with on her own, and it was recognized by the system and has been completely attributed. Because of the existence of this skill, Kristina can release a wide range of magic at a very low cost. Although Kristina's total magic power is indeed much more than that of an average mage, this extra amount is definitely not enough for Kristina to squander it as willfully. Magical floor washing looks very exciting, and when you are immersed in it, you will even feel like you are out of breath and suffocated. That kind of shocking power is definitely the ability that every mage expects. It can be said that it is the ultimate dream of a mage. However, to realize this dream requires massive magical support. One magic cannot wash the floor, so not only must you be able to release many kinds of magic at the same time, but more importantly, the number must be sufficient, otherwise you will be watering the flowers instead of washing the floor.
The biggest feature of Kristina's technique is that it solves these two problems at the same time. On the one hand, this technique allows Kristina to release all types of magic at the same time, which means that as long as she uses magic, all the magic systems will come out, and all magic systems will go their own way without interfering with each other. In addition, while not interfering with each other, these magics are still helping each other to breed, and what is finally produced is a cycle similar to the principle of mutual generation in the Five Elements Theory. Each kind of magic helps another magic to increase the energy level, but this increased magic power is not provided by Kristina, but increases after they breed with each other. It is the magic power that grows naturally, not Kristina. The magic provided by Na.
In the process of the growth of magic, Kristina only played a guiding and initiating effect, and subsequent magic was naturally filled by them. Take Kristina's favorite and the simplest entry-level magic missile of all categories as an example. If an ordinary mage uses this magic missile, he first needs to input a type of magic power, and then condense the magic missile. In this process, he needs to provide the full amount of magic power, then shape it, and then release it. After the magic missile hits the target, what explodes is the energy generated by the magic power gathered by the mage.
However, the same process is completely different when Kristina uses it.
First, it is also necessary to input magic power to generate magic missiles, but others need to choose a category, while Kristina directly inputs her own magic power without selecting a category. Assume that other mages need to input ten units of magic power to use magic missiles. Kristina saves a certain amount of waste because she does not need to convert attributes, so she only needs to input nine units.
After inputting magic, other mages will form a magic missile corresponding to the type of magic they input. However, after Kristina inputs less magic, what is generated is not a magic missile corresponding to the type of magic, but a bunch of magic missiles. All magic missiles. This includes all magic departments included in the system settings, and there is one for each department. In other words, Kristina used 90% of other people's magic power to produce more than ten times the number of magic missiles.
This is not the end. After the magic missile is generated, Kristina's special skills will continue to have an effect. At this time, these magic missiles that have been generated will begin to nourish each other for the type of magic that they assist, and then these magic missiles will all be charged with more energy. All of this energy comes from the mutual nourishment of magic elements, not from Kristina's addition. Therefore, Kristina did not add any additional burden in the process. However, at this time, her magic missiles had turned into enhanced magic missiles. Not only were the number more than ten times that of others, but the power of a single magic missile was also increased several times.
This is still not the end. After the magic missile increases in power, the nourishment will not stop, but the magic missile itself has a load capacity limit. You can't turn a magic missile into a forbidden spell-level magic like Doomsday Fireball. Even if you have so much magic power, you can't stuff it in, otherwise the magic missile will explode directly. Therefore, although the magic missile can be strengthened, it will not strengthen the personality. After a few times the energy is reached, it will explode if you recharge it again. However, the mutual nourishment of these magic elements is a cycle, and they will not stop. Therefore, Kristina has two choices at this time.
The first option is that Kristina can directly launch the magic missiles. As long as all the magic missiles explode, or as long as they start to launch, regardless of whether they hit or not, the nourishing process will be over. This method is generally used in low-power attacks, because the number of magic missiles is not very large, so the lethality will not be too strong.
The second option is not to fire it, but to guide the magic missile to replicate. There is an upper limit to the magic power a magic missile can carry, so wouldn't one more magic missile be able to carry twice as much magic power? As long as the number of magic missiles continues to increase, the upper limit of magic power capacity can theoretically be expanded without limit.
This second method is the scariest part of Kristina's technique. Because a set of magic missiles already existed, the new magic missiles were not shaped by Kristina, but directly copied. In other words, no matter how many magic missiles are made, Kristina does not need to distract herself from shaping them anyway, because this process has already happened, and now it is just a copy, no manual operation is required.
Apart from shaping, there is no need to worry about it. What is even more frightening is that the newly generated magic missiles do not even need to be filled with magic power. Because these extra magic missiles are produced by the previous group of magic missiles nourishing each other and producing excess magic power that cannot be absorbed, Kristina does not need to use all the magic power for them at all. All she needs to do is to input the magic power of a unit, and then generate a group of magic missiles of all series. Then the first group of magic missiles of all series will fill in the magic power they generated to form a new magic missile. In the process, Kristi Na only needs to consume one unit of magic power to start a new magic missile.
The newly generated magic missile is still not one, but a group, that is, one for each magic system. The first group of magic missiles can nourish each other to produce excess magic power, so of course the second group of magic missiles can do the same. Therefore, when the second set of magic missiles was generated, Kristina's magic missiles did not solve the problem of excess magic power, but instead caused more excess magic power. However, because there is an additional set of magic missiles to share the pressure, although the total amount of excess magic power has increased, the magic missiles are still stable and will not explode due to overload. However, because these two sets of magic missiles are undergoing irreversible nourishment and regeneration, the magic power will continue to increase and will still exceed the standard in the future.
When the newly generated magic power reaches the critical point, Kristina will face the previous choice again, either to launch magic missiles, or to continue to generate new magic missiles. Of course, because two sets of magic missiles are now accumulating energy, the new magic missiles cannot be generated only one set, but two sets can be generated at once. Then, this cycle will continue to repeat, with the newly generated two sets of magic missiles and The first two groups of magic missiles will be overloaded again, and then eight more groups need to be formed. The next step is sixteen groups, then thirty-two groups, and so on.
Although a lot has been said, the refill speed of magic missiles is actually very exaggerated. The time interval between the first group and the second group of magic missiles is usually no more than 0.5 seconds, which is half a second. Because this cycle will continue, and the intervals are the same each time, the last thing you see is that the magic missiles around Kristina will appear in one group first, and then continue to double at a rate of twice per second. Increasingly, and more and more. Theoretically, after five seconds, the total number of magic missiles will exceed a thousand, and after nine seconds, it will exceed 10,000.
Also releasing a magic missile, another mage spent one second consuming ten units of magic power to release a magic missile with normal power. However, Kristina can use the same one second to consume nine points of magic power to release a dozen magic missiles, each with several times the power. Moreover, as long as Kristina is willing, she can increase the number of magic missiles by extending the preparation time. The price she has to pay, in addition to time, is the consumption of two additional units of magic power per second. If it can last until the tenth second, then Kristina's magic missile will take ten seconds, consume twenty-seven units of magic power, and produce more than ten thousand magic missiles that are several times more powerful.
By comparison, it is not difficult to see the difference between Kristina and ordinary mages. With the same magic power, or less magic power output, Kristina can produce more and stronger magic power. Isn't such a mage considered powerful?
In fact, Kristina's magical power is not limited to this.
Among my demon pets, the most representative ones that have both light and dark attributes are Ling and Xiaochun. Because they were the goddesses of the two former temples, the light and dark attributes of both of them are very pure. Later, in the process of doing tasks together, we gradually developed the compound magic of even individuals, which is to temporarily suppress the magic of light and dark attributes with mental power, and then send it to the enemy before letting it come into contact.
Just like when matter and antimatter come into contact, a annihilation reaction will occur, and then huge energy will be released. When the magic elements of light and dark come into contact, they will explode with unimaginable power.
What Kristina's magic releases is actually a magic ring, with all the magics arranged in order on this ring. These magics can gradually nourish the next magic element according to the method of one life, two, two, and three, and then produce magic power. However, if you draw a diameter line within this ring, at this time, the magic elements at both ends of the diameter line are combined to produce It is not nourishment, but the annihilation reaction of the magic world.
When the magic elements of light and darkness come into contact, they will produce an annihilation reaction, and then release ten times the lethality of their separate explosions. However, this is only the lowest level of annihilation reaction. The more advanced annihilation reaction actually brings all the corresponding departments on the magic ring into contact at the same time, and then produces a large annihilation reaction. The power that bursts out at this time will be equal to a thousand times the sum of the original lethality of these magics. This is the elemental burst.
Kristina produced so many magical elements at once. In fact, multiple large annihilation aggregates have been produced. However, based on the need, Kristina will decide by herself whether to let the magic missile attack someone alone and explode with normal power, or to attack in pairs to form a small annihilation attack. If she encounters a powerful enemy, she can gather all the elements and directly The great annihilation exploded the entire space.
It can be said that Kristina can already play all attack methods and attack power combinations with just one magic missile. This is why the auxiliary skill Kristina chose is magic missile specialization, because as long as the normal magic missile If the power is increased a little, the actual lethality of her magic missiles can be increased thousands of times. This is Kristina's path to power, relying on one magic to defeat all enemies.
Of course, it is only theoretical to defeat all enemies with one magic. In fact, different magics have different effects. Although the combined magic missile group is very powerful and consumes very little, it takes time to gather energy, and it is not suitable for every occasion. If the enemy's mental power is very strong, they can even directly intercept and destroy these magic missiles in the air. This is a drawback. Kristina knows this, so she never thinks that she can defeat all enemies with just magic. Therefore, she also learned other magic, using magic missiles as her main attack. At the same time, she learned as many types of magic as possible, and tried to be familiar with the release principles of all magic, because she felt that even magic like Doomsday Fireball could be used like This is how magic missiles replicate. Of course, the most she can do now is to use magic like thunder and lightning to make multiple summons, and she is still very unskilled. But if one day she can make tens of thousands of doomsday fireballs at once like using magic missiles, then I guess she will basically It means being invincible in the world. With just a wave of your hand, the whole country fell to the ground. With such destructive power, how can you give a damn? Of course, that goal is extremely ambitious. At least Kristina herself doesn't have high hopes for it. She just regards it as an ultimate goal.
I don’t know whether it was because Kristina was frightened or because the enemy’s reserve team failed to keep up. Anyway, after destroying the entire archer phalanx, we were no longer harassed by the enemy.
Walking along the path on the ridge, although it seems very dangerous, with steep hills on both sides, it is actually very easy to walk. In reality, it is indeed possible to slip and fall off a cliff, but we are in a game. As elite combatants, if we can slip even while walking, we might as well just buy a piece of tofu and get hit to death. When a lolita does something like throwing herself on the ground, it's called cute, but if we guys do it, we can only call it idiots.
After jogging all the way on the ridge to the other end of the valley, we did not go down to the bottom of the valley. Instead, we ran along the slopes of the ridge edges on both sides and entered a vast forest below.
In fact, entering this forest is considered as officially entering the dungeon area. Although this dungeon does not have a portal or the like, and there is no obvious dividing line, you can be sure that this is a dungeon, because you will not see it if you come from other directions. To reach this forest, we will go to the mouth of the valley we just entered, and our guild's Tower of Babel cannot see this forest at all. From Babel Tower's perspective from space, this area should be a mountainous area rather than a flat forest. Obviously, this forest is a dungeon area that is not on the main map.
After entering the forest, Ashford asked us to stop for a moment, and then he took out a lot of white things from the big package carried on the tank and distributed them to us.
Kristina frowned and took the bunch of things, then looked at Ashford with a question mark on her head and asked, "Are there many vampires in this forest?"
"No." Ashford answered simply.
"Then why did you give us the garlic?" Kristina asked, holding up the string of garlic that looked like a necklace.
"This is for you to deworm." Alice helped Ashford answer our questions.
I asked in confusion: "Insect repellent? Are there a lot of bugs in this forest? We shouldn't be able to bite through the armored insects, right? Why are you giving them to us too?"
"This... is not a question of whether you can bite them thoroughly. The bugs here are actually quite easy to deal with. The key is that they are annoying. With this, you don't have to worry about them and you can concentrate on your journey."
Now that Ashford has said this, there is nothing we can do. One person was given a bunch of garlic and wore it around his neck like a necklace. He felt as if he had turned into a barbarian in an instant.
After giving out the garlic, Ashford got a bottle of something that looked like perfume from his backpack, and then sprayed it on each of us. The smell really made people cry because it was obviously onion water. . However, because of the previous explanation, we can roughly guess that this thing is also an anti-insect device.
After it was completely dealt with, everyone was back on the road. The so-called bugs didn't keep us waiting for long. As soon as we entered the forest and walked less than a hundred meters, we encountered a group of them.
This is a small insect. Of course, this is based on in-game standards. In fact, each of these bugs is two inches long, which is about five centimeters or more. In reality, there are really not many insects that can grow to this size. But it's not bad. These bugs look like ladybugs, with a hard carapace on the outside, and the surface of the carapace is actually pearlescent. It seems that many tiny red particles can be seen on the dark red carapace, which feels almost like the effect of red nail polish with bright pink. It can be said that this insect is not only not disgusting, but also quite beautiful.
"Do you think this bug is beautiful?" Alice asked, probably knowing that none of our three foreign aids understood the horror of these bugs.
We nodded and admitted our point of view, and then the Night Child asked: "Is there any danger in this?"
Ashford said: "It's not dangerous, it's mainly annoying. These bugs have a characteristic, they like to get close to moving creatures, and then crawl on them. If I hadn't sprayed you with those irritating The smell, these guys must have covered you all by now."
"It shouldn't be scary even if you get hung up, right?" I asked aloud.
Ashford shook his head and said: "Of course it's scary, because these guys not only hang on you, they can also sting you. It doesn't matter what kind of protective clothing you wear, the spikes in these guys' mouths can penetrate anything." Armor, fortunately, they suck blood slowly, only consuming one drop of blood per minute. Even if you have dozens or hundreds of them on you, the consumption is not too exaggerated. However, it is quite annoying to lose blood like this all the time, isn't it? And they bite After you die, you will still have big bumps on your body, just like a poisonous mosquito bite. It will itch terribly, and it will bleed if you scratch it. It won't kill you, but it will annoy you to death."
"It's really disgusting to hear you say that."
After listening to Ashford's introduction, everyone really realized how scary this kind of thing is, but I still got one and studied it. Speaking of which, this bug seems to hate the smell of garlic and onions. In order to get this bug, I asked Kristina to use the magic of the magic hand to get it, because if we go there by ourselves, these guys will be more than ten meters away. They will start to run away, they simply can’t stand the smell of us.
The bug itself has no characteristics. What I really care about is the needle Ashford mentioned. Ashford just said that this thing can pierce any armor. This is not a simple ability and deserves careful study.
