Chapter 32 Dragon Tiger Cave
As the saying goes, tit for tat, Huang Zhong has shot countless people with arrows in his life, and he also tasted the feeling of being shot in the head today. And to be more precise, it was probably retribution for General Huang, the Five Tiger General, to be severely injured in the eye like this.
Why do you say this? Because Huang Zhong is a typical late bloomer. People like Zhao Yun, with their white horses and silver spears, became famous all over the world when they were young. Huang Zhong was in his forties and became a small official guarding the city gate, similar to an urban management officer. Vice captain and the like, almost five It was only when he was ten that he got a Zhonglang General from You County, Changsha (there are big and small Zhonglang Generals, Zhuge had served as a military advisor Zhonglang General. Cao Pi even led the Zhonglang General with five senses as the deputy of the prime minister) and Huang Zhong, a Zhonglang General, In modern terms, Lang Jiang is the armed minister of a county.
Huang Zhong was so poor that in the long days before he became an official, he could only make a living by hunting to support his family. It was at this time that he developed his unique skill of escaping the enemy with a hundred steps. When hunting, the value of prey mainly comes from the fur, so when Huang Zhong shoots, he always aims at the eyeballs of birds and animals, so that there will be no holes in the fur of the prey and the value will be doubled... Now it seems, Perhaps it was the resentment of the prey that caused Huang Zhong to suffer such severe injuries, so that the injured parts were exactly the same as most of the prey that died in his hands.
The wind on the mountain was already very strong, and the cold rain was pouring down, causing goosebumps to appear on the exposed skin. However, no matter how cold the temperature is, it can't cool everyone's hearts. After getting the first-hand battle situation, Lei Luo was undoubtedly the one with the ugliest expression.
"Damn it! This guy is so perverted. Who knew that his attacks also come with attribute damage? It's not the thunder or wind element we expected. There's also a fire element coming out at this time!"
The reason why Lei Luo screamed the loudest like a killing pig was naturally because he had to deal with Zhang Liao's offensive of more than 50% head-on. If there was any accident, he would be the first to suffer. Fang Lin thought for a while before saying with a bitter smile. :
"We must find a way to find some medicine for Lei Luo to temporarily increase flame resistance, otherwise it will be equivalent to murdering our physical strength king."
Lei Luo finally took a long breath and said:
"I'm glad you realize that."
However, Fang Lin and his five-person group did not prepare any fire resistance potions or props, because Fang Lin's bug is almost immune to fire. Because of the existence of simulation, Fang Lin can even play a guest role as the fourth child at certain times. He and Lao Hu's character absorb damage from the front, and even a powerful figure like Kusanagi Kyo Fang Lin can escape from his hands. So it's a waste for them to resist fire.
So in the end, Fog Jack took out a bottle of salamander blood to Lei Luo. This thing can reduce fire damage by 13% within an hour. This level of damage reduction is enough for normal battles, but for III difficulty As for the boss of the golden main quest, it can only be described as better than nothing.
Fortunately, at this time, the former thunderer Payne also realized the current crisis, and reluctantly took out a necklace. This necklace not only increased the total resistance by 19%, but also increased the fire resistance and electric resistance by an additional 21%. When doing damage, it can also reduce the damage by 10 points.
Although offense is advocated in the nightmare world, the value of this necklace is still high, especially when it is of dark gold quality. The former thunderer Payne just took out the necklace and put it in the air without delivering it to Lei Luo's hand. His intention was quite obvious.
Fang Lin immediately said:
"According to our agreement, if I kill Zhang Liao, I have the first three rights to choose the keys that Zhang Liao drops, right?"
Everyone was a little surprised, wondering what Fang Lin meant when he suddenly mentioned this matter. From this we can also see that Lei Luo and the others' sacrifices were indeed considerable. It can be said that they did not hesitate to pass the golden main quest of III difficulty at any cost. After Zhang Liao's death, the key dropped by Fang Lin was picked up three times. What oil and water can be left?
Fang Lin continued:
"Since Payne gave this dark gold equipment at this time, I propose that he should be compensated to a certain extent."
At this point, Fang Lin snapped his fingers, and Wuxian Fu immediately jumped out, holding a magnifying glass in his hand. He looked at the necklace carefully, picked his nose and said:
"The market price of this necklace is only worth 80,000 points. However, this is due to the impact of the trend of decomposing equipment. In fact, its value is around 100,000 points."
Fang Lin nodded and said:
"My incompetent servant has a certain level of expertise in appraisals (Xiao Fu said angrily next to me, I am the authority), and the price he estimated should be close to ten. My suggestion is that we give some points together. To compensate Payne, I took advantage of Zhang Liao's key distribution. I will give you 20,000 points and you will share the rest."
Fang Lin is a person who pays great attention to details. He has always believed that details determine success or failure, so he directly sacrifices his own interests to smooth out possible conflicts in the team. However, the tedious details mean that the person in charge has to consider too many aspects, which is extremely energy-consuming.
From this point of view, Fang Lin is even somewhat similar to Zhuge Liang. However, it was precisely because of this habit that Zhuge Liang was too exhausted, so he died of illness in Wuzhangyuan when he was only fifty years old. However, Fang Lin was only responsible for a dozen people, and he did not need to command a large army like Zhuge Liang. Moreover, his intelligence was originally derived from the semi-morbidity derived from inbreeding, and he was assisted by the strong physical fitness of the reincarnation. Therefore, multitasking is not a burden for him. If he is idle, he may even suffer a mental breakdown!
At this time, the mechanical flesh and blood puppets summoned by Fang Lin had suffered heavy casualties, and only eight people were left. This shows that although Zhang Liao's upward momentum was delayed to a certain extent, it was not delayed for too long. And as long as the guards around Zhang Liao were not all dead, Fang Lin and his men would not be able to pull Cao Zhang and Cao Pi out as a burden to Zhang Liao, because Zhang Liao could fully protect them and let his subordinates take the hostages and leave first, which would be a loss of both the wife and the soldiers!
To implement the encumbered plan, Cao Pi must be released when Zhang Liao is alone. Unless Zhang Liao has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for him to save people in such a harsh environment while parrying the attacks of his group of people.
Not only that, but the lightning blade wheels of the seven guards around Zhang Liao are powerful, and it seems that if multiple people attack at the same time, the power of the blade wheels can have a very strong superposition amplification effect. In addition, Zhang Liao can also form a powerful formation with them, so that the judgment and defense are comprehensively improved.
So the key now seems to be to get rid of the remaining seven guards around Zhang Liao as soon as possible!
"It seems that plan No. 3 will be implemented." Fang Lin said lightly.
Hearing Fang Lin say plan No. 3, Lei Luo naturally frowned, which means a head-on confrontation with Zhang Liao! Then it is natural to dispatch his first meat shield at this time. There are three places on this mountain that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The first place is the previous Qianzhang ladder, the second place is called Longhu Cave, and the third place is called Ji Tiaojian.
The third plan is to launch a surprise attack in the Dragon and Tiger Cave!
The Dragon and Tiger Cave is two deep caves, one on the left and one on the right. It just happens to sandwich the muddy mountain road like a goat intestine in the middle.
These two caves are very deep, so deep that no one can explore the bottom. It is said that when it is almost dark or dawn, there is a wind rushing out of it, and the sound is strange and buzzing, just like the roar of a dragon and a tiger, so it is called the Dragon and Tiger Cave by the local mountain people.
The muddy mountain road climbed up from the bottom with a steep angle of 70 to 80 degrees. Zhang Liao and his party also stood below. They were all covered in mud, but they were still deep and majestic, and they complemented the mountains in the misty and majestic rain. The eight of them were in one, and they had a terrifying demeanor of fighting against the sky and the earth!
"There will probably be an attack here again." said an elite attendant in the lead.
There was a hint of indifference in his tone. People like him who rushed into the army completely abandoned their lives. Only people who are indifferent to their own lives can survive after killing more people.
Zhang Liao didn't speak, he liked to use actions to show his attitude! He stepped onto the mountain road between the Dragon and Tiger Caves! Amid the splashing mud and water, Zhang Liao's tall back gave people an unshakable feeling, as if nothing could stop him and cause him any trouble!
In the process of going up step by step, both Zhang Liao and his remaining seven guards were on full alert. Because they had suffered several attacks before, all of these attacks seized the moment when they relaxed psychologically, and the attackers were fearless. Although they did not cause too much harm to Zhang Liao and his group, they were always tense psychologically and in an extreme state. This kind of pressure was quite great. If it weren't for Zhang Liao and his group who had gone through life and death, other ordinary people might have collapsed long ago.
Suddenly, Zhang Liao and his group looked up! They were less than a hundred meters away from the Dragon and Tiger Cave. At this moment, four figures appeared at the entrance of the Dragon Cave on the left and the Tiger Cave on the right at the same time! Two of the figures were tied up, wearing Cao Pi's robes and Cao Zhang's golden armor!
As soon as these two people appeared, they were pushed into the cave entrance next to them by the people next to them! In other words, they just flashed in Zhang Liao's eyes. But even so, the group immediately rushed up excitedly as if they had taken stimulants, but they couldn't help but hesitated when they reached the cave entrance.
Zhang Liao knew that this was most likely a trick of the enemy, but he also thought of the possibility that the enemy might find out that they were not strong enough and run into him when they fled in panic. Zhang Liao's biggest problem was that he could not return empty-handed. He came here with a desperate move. If people knew that he encountered traces of Cao Pi and Cao Zhang on the way and did not check, then this crime would be unjustifiable. Moreover, for the loyal Zhang Liao, he could not accept losing the opportunity to save his lord because of possible danger.
Zhang Liao stood on the stone steps, the cold rain poured on his face, and instantly evaporated into a burst of white mist. For Zhang Liao, the best way is to concentrate all the manpower to detect a cave to avoid being defeated one by one, but war is only a continuation of politics. If Zhang Liao does this, who should he choose to save first? Cao Pi or Cao Zhang? Cao Pi has begun to take over Cao Cao's career in the court, while Cao Zhang is loved by Cao Cao in personal feelings! No matter who is saved first, there will be endless troubles in the future.
So Zhang Liao can only do what he is most reluctant to do, that is, to divide the troops, which is also within Fang Lin's expectations. Zhang Liao himself detects the dragon cave on the left, and the remaining seven guards detect the tiger cave on the right.
However, Zhang Liao is also ready to rush to the aid of his guards at any time. He also has a grasp of the strength of Fang Lin's group in the previous battle. I believe that no one can withstand the power of the lightning knife wheel thrown by the seven guards together. Of course, no one can hold its edge directly, so he is not too worried.
The Dragon/Tiger Caves were quite damp, and the rainwater outside accumulated and flowed back, forming shallow streams on the ground and rushing into the caves. After Zhang Liao walked in and turned a corner, the light gradually dimmed, and the surroundings became quiet. Zhang Liao was skilled and bold, and he drew out his double swords and held them in his hands. He held the two swords in his hands, and his intention was very heroic. The two swords collided from time to time, making a loud metal collision sound.
Although the back of Zhang Liao's sword was inlaid with gold, it was dazzling, but compared to the cold green light of the blade, it was also compared. That kind of sharp blade represented death. When people saw it, they thought that if this light flashed, their lives would be lost. It really felt like killing people and destroying Buddhas.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the deep darkness of the cave in front. Although Zhang Liao had been mentally prepared, the strange sound was still very harsh.
It is hard to describe the shock of this strange sound. It was like the shrill screams of millions of people squeezed out together!
The strange sound was already extremely shocking when it just happened. But it was still expanding at an alarming speed. The whole cave seemed to have turned into a hell that exploded in an instant. Along with the strange sound, a large group of dark clouds like tides rushed out.
Even though Zhang Liao had fought all over the world and killed countless people in his life, and even crawled out of the sea of blood and corpses, and had many strange and inexplicable experiences, he was still stunned in the first few seconds!
But he quickly figured out what happened - the sound that was heartbreaking and made people feel cold and sore was that thousands of bats were screaming as hard as they could, and while screaming, they flew out.
Bats have a very keen sense. Although their eyesight is very poor, they have a special ultrasonic detection instinct. They will not collide with anything during high-speed flight. However, the bats that emerged from the cave at this time were all like crazy. They not only screamed, collided with each other, but also began to bite everything they could reach.
Zhang Liao wanted to retreat, but his speed could not be compared with the flying speed of bats in this narrow space! So he immediately stepped back a few steps, leaned against the cave wall and danced with the long sword in his hand. Zhang Liao was very proficient in martial arts, and he had also received guidance from Lu Bu, the first general of the Three Kingdoms. Immediately, waves of sword light rippled in front of him, as if there was a barrier in front of Zhang Liao. Although a large number of bats collided with him, they could not move forward at all.
Zhang Liao thought that this group of bats was just a wave, but he didn't expect that they were endless! This place is probably named Dragon and Tiger Cave because there are too many bats living here. The sound of bats flying in and out was occasionally heard by the mountain people, so they were frightened and thought it was the roar of dragons and tigers.
Although Zhang Liao's long sword slashed out rays of light in the air, no bat could escape the interception of the sword light, but these bats hit so resolutely, so bravely, and so powerfully that it reminded people of the "Kamikaze Suicide Squad" of the Japanese Air Force at the end of World War II. Even those bats that hit Zhang Liao and were dodged by him did not mean to turn, but rushed straight to the rock wall, making a chilling "slap" sound, and then turned into a bloody mass, with bones, skin and flesh, sticking to the wall, and dark red blood flowed down the glass, forming a bloody, weird and inexplicable pattern.
In just a short moment, it was already full of bats that died because of some unknown magic. Although the dead were just small animals, the smell of death was so strong that it was also thrilling!
At the same time, Zhang Liao's heart suddenly felt as if it was tightened. He immediately realized that the guards in the cave opposite were in danger! They had no special methods to deal with the terrifying attack of the bat swarm, and the bat swarm might not be fatal, but it was a great tool to block the line of sight and interfere with the battle!
With this thought in mind, Zhang Liao shouted, turned around suddenly, and waved his sleeves towards the place where the bat swarm was most dense, scattering a large area of red light, which was the scattering of his sleeve arrows!
All of a sudden, each sleeve arrow pierced at least a dozen bats, and the flames burning on the top of the sleeve arrows ignited the bats, forming large balls of fire, and the air was filled with a strong stench. Zhang Liao couldn't care less for a moment, and immediately ran out, but as soon as he took a step, he found that his feet seemed to be stuck in a swamp, and his shoes slipped on the dead bats half a meter high on the ground. Zhang Liao stepped sideways and rolled on the ground, causing dark red blood to splash, and then he rushed out with the power!
