Chapter 22 Rescue Mission, Part 2
Half an hour later, Sunshine Forest did not find any clues related to the bandits. Chen Fei did not delay and turned to the dilapidated farm. This time, Chen Fei gained something: not far from the dilapidated farm, he saw a small group of bandits active here!
"If you find a bandit squad, players can choose to capture the squad leader to get more clues."
The prompt given by the system made Chen Fei even happier. However, the number of bandits is a bit too many. One captain, 6 minions, and 4 spear throwers. Moreover, the three words "optional" in the prompt made Chen Fei hesitate whether to take action.
Bandit Captain: A more powerful guy in the bandit gang. Life 1000, melee attack 33-36, medium armor 3; night attack, passive, can enter invisibility on the spot after dark; heavy attack, passive, 20% additional damage caused by 50; poison, passive, ordinary attack with 5 points of damage per second, lasting 3 seconds.
Bandit Minion: HP 700, Melee Attack 24-29, Medium Armor 2.
Bandit Spear Thrower: HP 600, Ranged Attack 30-33, Medium Armor 2.
Fortunately, these guys have no skills except for their slightly good attributes, which makes Chen Fei not too stressed.
The two guards were handed over to Lin Rong for control, and he was asked to pay attention to his junior infantry. Sun Qilong was naturally responsible for output behind Lin Rong. As for Chen Fei, he had already prepared his skills on the way: three dark elements, and the skills were tornado and holy light.
Everything was ready, Chen Fei did not take action immediately, and still followed behind the bandit squad. He thought that these guys would appear here, and there must be something wrong. However, they followed them all the way to the depths of the farm, and these guys stopped there and did not move for several minutes.
Faced with this situation, Chen Fei could not wait any longer, and could only choose to take action!
Lin Rong rushed out first, with two guards at the front, and Chen Fei and Sun Qilong followed and immediately attacked the nearest minions. Although 700 health points are not a small amount, under the armor reduction of the dark element, they still have to bear additional damage. After a round of attack by the two, they caused about 400 damage! Two rounds can solve one!
The sudden attack immediately made the bandits move quickly! The minions were in front, the spear throwers, and as for the team leader, he unexpectedly hid behind the spear thrower and didn't come up. You know, this guy is a melee fighter! Hiding behind doesn't mean he doesn't want to attack?
Chen Fei couldn't understand the system setting, but he let Lin Rong rush directly, thinking of catching the team leader first! Immediately, the three skills of Fireball, Big Fireball, and Tornado were launched in succession! The bandits blocking the guards were instantly hurt! Sun Qilong was also not vague. After the wind arrow was shot out, he started the rapid shot and quickly output!
In just 20 seconds, 3 minions had been eliminated! The two spear throwers behind also had low health. However, at this moment, the team leader actually ran away! Yes, this guy actually chose to run away!
This situation made Chen Fei stunned for a moment, and then reacted: He chose to run away, this guy must have some special settings!
The fireball cooldown is just right, start immediately! All the skills that can increase the output of the unit are activated! However, even so, it is impossible to eliminate the remaining bandits during the three-second stun time of the fireball. Of course, this does not mean that the team leader has a chance to escape-Sun Qilong, trap and activate! When the team leader was caught in the net, Chen Fei immediately switched to three earth elements and activated the stone wall!
Now, unless the team leader becomes a flying unit, there is no way to escape!
Soon, all the bandits were eliminated, and the team leader was captured by Chen Fei as a matter of course. When he emptied the health bar of the squad leader, within a few seconds, the system gave a new prompt:
"You captured this guy who was thinking about escaping during the battle. From him, you know that the bandits' base is deep in the garden cemetery. But what you care more about is the person he is waiting for. Tip: You can hand over the squad leader to the captain of the guard."
At this point, Chen Fei understood that the reason why the squad leader came here was entirely because he was waiting for someone. But who was he waiting for? Player? Or NPC? Chen Fei was not sure. As for the latter prompt, Chen Fei had no reason not to do it.
It took a few more minutes to send the squad leader to the captain of the guard. Unfortunately, there was no reward or prompt. The captain of the guard just said "It takes some time to interrogate", nothing else.
Fortunately, the main purpose has been achieved. Knowing the base of the bandits, as long as they are eliminated, a group of NPCs will appear, and the task will be completed.
Quickly came to the garden cemetery. According to the prompts given by the map, the monsters here are not very advanced, all of them are plant monsters in the early 20s. However, not long after Chen Fei and his companions entered the Garden Cemetery, a wave of monsters ran straight towards them! The appearance of that wave of monsters made Chen Fei frown - it was a large wave of skeleton soldiers!
Skeleton soldiers: HP 400, melee attack 15-20, no armor.
The attributes of the skeleton soldiers are very bad; the number is also okay, at most 15, but their appearance here is completely unreasonable!
In the early stage of the game, the Alliance and the Horde were separated from each other, and the battle between the camps would not begin until the next major update of the game. And these skeleton soldiers are not wild monsters in the Garden Cemetery, how can they appear here?
The skeleton soldiers’ target is clearly Chen Fei and others. If they can’t dodge, they can only choose to fight. After one wave, the consumption is not great, but several minutes have passed. Looking at the countdown, it is less than two hours.
Eliminate the skeleton soldiers and continue to rush in. However, not far ahead, another wave of skeleton soldiers rushed towards Chen Fei and others! Here they will be eliminated. But not far ahead, another wave of skeleton soldiers!
After three waves of skeleton soldiers, not to mention Chen Fei, even Lin Rong felt something was wrong: these skeleton soldiers were obviously coming for Chen Fei and others, but Chen Fei searched through his memories of his previous life and did not find any relevant information in the garden cemetery. Even a similar task, he had never found it.
Could this also be a task changed because of his own time travel?
Chen Fei did not have any guesses, but such guesses were of no help to the current situation. The combat effectiveness of these skeleton soldiers was very low, and three waves in a row did not cause serious damage. After all, Chen Fei has a mana recovery bonus, and with the Holy Light and supplies, he can easily guarantee his health.
However, three waves of skeleton soldiers have delayed Chen Fei for nearly ten minutes. The rescue mission is limited in time. If this continues, what if there are no novice mercenaries in the bandit base?
"Lin Rong, if there are more skeleton soldiers later, just go around! Don't waste any more time!" After destroying the third wave of skeleton soldiers, Chen Fei spoke to Lin Rong.
Lin Rong naturally had no reason to object. He also felt very annoyed with these skeleton soldiers. There were many of them, but they had little experience.
Soon, the fourth wave of skeleton soldiers appeared! Chen Fei did not delay and planned to go around from the left. Of course, the skeleton soldiers would not let Chen Fei pass so easily. They turned around immediately and wanted to surround him. However, since Chen Fei wanted to avoid these skeletons, how could he not have thought of a way to deal with them?
Stone wall launched!
A stone wall appeared in front of the skeleton soldiers, blocking their way. It was no problem to block them for three to five seconds. By then, Chen Fei and the others would have already bypassed them.
The sixth wave, the seventh wave! Two more waves of skeleton soldiers came in succession, and Chen Fei still used the stone wall to resist, and then quickly bypassed them. And when he bypassed the seventh wave, no more skeleton soldiers appeared! At the same time, on his screen, there was a teleportation circle emitting a faint light - the robber gang's base was found.
Finally, the robbers' lair was found! Worried that the three waves of skeletons behind would catch up, Chen Fei didn't think about it and immediately stepped on the teleportation circle. But...
"Ding Dong, you have been discovered by the robbers, please prepare for battle."
As soon as the screen switched to the stone wall secret room, Chen Fei received such a prompt from the system. Obviously, there should be a point to avoid this situation, but Chen Fei didn't trigger it.
However, thinking of the strength of the previous robber squad, Chen Fei was not too worried. Since we have to fight, just go in head-on!
However, to Chen Fei's surprise, nearly a minute after the prompt, no robber appeared! On the contrary, Chen Fei came in and saw several bodies of robbers on the ground!
What's going on? Did someone clean up these guys first? But this shouldn't be the case. Isn't the task here for me? Or was it that the skeletons cleared this place?
Considering the skeleton soldiers outside, Chen Fei's guess is also possible. But unfortunately, although both guesses have correct parts, they are not all right!
Everyone came to a four-way intersection, and the real murderer finally appeared! Moreover, he rushed over from the other three roads at the same time: there were a large number of ghouls, and behind each wave of ghouls, there were more than a dozen abominations!
Ghoul: 800 HP, 26-30 attack, fast attack speed, fast movement speed, heavy armor 3; Tear: Passive, 30% chance to cause wounds, lose 25 HP per second, lasting 15 seconds. Devour: Devour corpses to recover, recover 15 points per second.
Abomination: HP 2000, attack 40-50, slow attack speed, slow movement speed, heavy armor 5; Plague: Passive, surrounding units fall into the plague effect, losing 5 HP per second, lasting 60 seconds; Devour: Devour corpses to recover, recovering 30 HP per second. Slaughter Hook: Active, throw out the hook, hit the target and pull it over. Cooldown 30 seconds.
"Hurry up and retreat! Quick!" Seeing the terrifying number, Chen Fei shouted into the headset! At the same time, a stone wall blocked his way! However, the stone wall faced so many ghouls, which was supposed to last 30 seconds, but it was broken in about 20 seconds!
Uh... Take it slow
