Chapter 374 Who Is the Real Horseback Swordsman? Of Course It’s Luke!

The extra runes given by the Roaring Corpse Serpent are dropped in the form of blank runes that can determine the rune number by themselves.

It can only be said that it is quite convenient, which allows Luke to avoid troubles and compose appropriate rune words according to the existing rune types at hand.

Theoretically speaking, the value of the 28th rune "Luo" is naturally the highest. Even if it does not constitute a rune word, its own attributes are excellent enough.

Embedding it on armor, shields and helmets can add 5% of the upper limit of lightning resistance, but if it is embedded in weapons, it can directly provide 20% of the critical attack effect.

Unlike the "one-hit kill" of the Barbarian Weapon Specialization, "critical attack" is simply 2 times the damage.

But the problem is that the weapons and equipment that can be embedded in this world are not limited to dark-type cold weapons.

If there is a chance to embed it on some hot weapons such as laser guns, rocket launchers, and moonlight satellite cannons, once the critical attack effect is triggered, the output brought by 2 times the damage will be a bit terrifying.

...But the minimum level of Rune No. 28 is 59, and Luke is still 20 levels short.

Whether to use this little king to construct a rune word that can be used immediately, or to collect more materials to make a better rune word, that depends on the situation.

The last piece of loot that can be used directly is the formation book from the infinite mode of the Demon Serpent 2.

In Luke's hand is a formation book called "Cloud Gathering Formation". After reading the prop description, Luke realized that this formation is highly compatible with himself.

Without much hesitation, Luke decisively took a picture of the skill book and directly obtained a new formation skill of the same name.

[Name: Cloud Gathering Formation]

[Type: Team Formation, Legion Formation]

[Level: lv1+1]

[Use Conditions: Activate Team Contract]

[Skill Effect: While providing a general formation effect blessing for the entire team, it will also grant additional formation skills according to the position arrangement of different team members.

Since the maximum number of contracted members in your team is 8, the number of personnel that can be covered by the formation increases from 5 to 8.

After activating the formation, team members will temporarily obtain a shared "formation energy bar". The current energy bar value is 100+5=105 points. Increasing the formation level can increase the upper limit of the energy bar. When using some formation skills, the formation energy will be consumed.

Formation General - Magic Soldier Resistance (reduces the damage from enemy magic attacks by 5+5=10%), Flying Soldier Resistance (reduces the damage from enemy bows, muskets, throwing and other physical flying props by 5+5%=10%), 100-hit recovery (every time 100 monster enemy soldiers are killed, an additional 1+1=2 points of formation energy will be restored.).

Array Personal - Summoning Gate (exclusive to position 1, can consume array energy to instantly teleport any teammate to your side, each teammate consumes 10 points of array energy)

Speed ​​Light (positions 2-8, within 5 minutes from the activation of the array, everyone's movement speed and agility attributes are increased by 5+5=10%, and will not be affected by control effects such as deceleration and dizziness during the duration)

If a team member is in the state of leading troops during the activation of the array (special state of the "Demon Snake Arrival" event), then the corresponding "Array Personal" effect will be regarded as "General Characteristics", and some effects will be simultaneously blessed to the soldiers under his command.

Since you have the "Teleport Master" skill, you can use the teleport stone to teleport any teammate and all his soldiers to your side. The casting conditions are full array energy and full magic value, and no matter how many people are teleported at the same time, the array energy and magic value will be exhausted. 】

[Note: Now I declare that you are the real horse swordsman! 】

If you look at it from a team perspective, perhaps this Yunji array array book is the biggest gain of this snake-slaying operation.

The formation book was originally something that could only be used in the infinite mode of Demon Serpent 2. It can connect up to five unparalleled generals and provide various types of attribute bonuses.

Luke remembered that there were as many as 80 formations alone, and the general and personal formation effects added up to two or three hundred, from attack to defense, to running, exploration, elements, healing, hiding, charging, etc., and the effects were all covered.

And the cloud formation that Luke had learned was obviously more of a running and exploration type.

Except for the captain, positions 2 to 8 have the effects of increasing speed and not being controlled by deceleration, while the captain at position 1, that is, Luke himself, can summon teammates scattered in other areas to his side anytime and anywhere.

At first glance, it may seem that there is some overlap with the positioning of the teleportation stone, but the cloud formation is obviously more inclined to the legion effect. If all members lead troops, Luke can even instantly go from being alone to a state of eight troops.

Not to mention that there are several team buffs that are always effective.

With this formation skill, Luke's already solid core position in the legion has become even more unshakable.

However, there are still many points that need to be tested about the specific effect of this formation, such as to what extent "Super Speed ​​Light" can be immune to control, and whether "Summoning Gate" can teleport across planes.

And the last thing is the "Opportunity to Obtain Exclusive Equipment" obtained by all team members.

Luke looked at it and found that this reward was more like an exclusive side quest for all team members. However, because the Demon Serpent Legion in the main plane was completely defeated and there was no corresponding battlefield for the time being, the exclusive equipment side quests for everyone, including Luke, were in the "pending trigger" state.

Perhaps the act of entering the Demon Serpent's lair through the Altar Abyss could directly trigger the side quest, but Luke would rather not have the exclusive equipment than take the initiative to enter the snake cave.

Too dangerous.

... But the others present, especially the S-level ones, didn't think so.

The Demon Serpent City was indeed destroyed, and the holographic image barrier and the nest-like rules covering the surrounding area also dissipated with the complete killing of Yuan Luzhi No. 1 - but the Altar Abyss portal in the center of the ruins was not closed.

This situation also made everyone realize that although the form is very different, this big black hole is indeed a kind of nest portal.

Not spawning soldiers now does not mean that they will not spawn soldiers in the future. If we let it go, we may see new demon cities and new snake heads appear next time.

So after the communication was restored, the high-level officials of Six Star City and Seven Star City contacted Tianwang and Luke respectively, and they made response arrangements before they were surprised by the battle situation.

In general, it is a two-hand preparation.

One hand is to immediately start to build a detection outpost near the original site of the ruins. The two cities will simultaneously send a large number of logistics, some B-level and above heroes, and an S-level hero to take turns to station and be responsible for intercepting the demon snake army that may appear at any time.

In view of Taira Kiyomori's brainwashing ability and the possibility that the next snake head will appear at any time, the existence of S-level heroes is still very necessary.

This rotating S-level hero will certainly not only be sent out by Six Star City. As the current known portal of the demon snake nest in the main plane, this responsibility is naturally shared by the seven cities. If the responsibility is dispersed to the seven cities, then the S-level will not be too constrained.

The second-hand preparation is naturally the standard action of the group of heroes.

Explore the nest and try to directly kill the source, that is, the remaining seven heads of the Yamata Demon Serpent.

However, this time, the dangerous front line will definitely not be fought by the S-level heroes.

It's time for the Suicide Squad to take action.
