Chapter 862: Intermission
Turn back the clock a little, another area of the final battlefield -
This is not a snow-capped mountain area that has been tattered by the battle, and there is almost no damage.
A quiet bamboo forest sits there, and the dense bamboo tops and green bamboos form a forest shadowy landscape, and it seems that even the air carries the fragrance of bamboo.
The clear water of the stream clings to the bamboo forest and flows into the distance, and the polished pebbles under the water are as crystal clear as jade. It is also the stream that blocks the bamboo forest on the other side, so that the other bank retains the dense and soft green grass.
Along the winding path, you can see an octagonal pavilion with the style of painting in the Celestial Empire, and a plaque is hung in the pavilion, and the book 'Ten Mile Pavilion' is written.
However, like many areas of the final battlefield, there are also a lot of disgusting monsters that seem to be cobbled together from human bodies, which is really a bit of a sight to behold.
It's just that they're being slaughtered with great efficiency right now.
Five unusually tall, three-meter-tall giant skeletons stood in the group of monsters, mechanically repeating slashes, blocking, and slashing again, there would never be the slightest fancy action, slaughtering monsters in the most efficient way, even if the corpses under their feet had accumulated layer after layer, and the smelly pus and blood had also gathered into small puddles, these skeletons were still unmoved.
These large skeletons weren't the cannon fodder under level 30 pulled out of the Book of the Dead, they had been magically transformed.
Adamantite bones, bone cavity filling, dead flames.
A series of spells that strengthened the undead were fixed on them one by one, and if you looked closely, you could see that they were not actually the bones of a single creature, but a monster made of the bones of many different creatures.
The challenge level of large skeletons is around 40~45, and they have the power to fight even when they face large elemental creatures.
In the pavilion just mentioned, a player in a black robe sat in the pavilion, his staff was placed casually against the stone table, holding a tea bowl in his hand, and from time to time he glanced at the battle situation not far away, looking very bored.
It's completely unbelievable that he had just sent three unlucky players out of the finals not long ago, and that battle was so short that it didn't even leave a trace of his surroundings.
He's the leader of the Magic Melody Guild, Aria.
"Unlucky......"
Taking a sip of tea, Aria muttered regretfully.
Not very lucky, indeed.
In Aria's vision, the best time to enter the battle is in the second half, preferably with the last group of players to enter the final arena, because like Ahn Yizhi, he aims at the hybrid of angels and demons.
It's not just these two, many guys who are confident in their own strength are aiming at the boss, not those disgusting mobs or other players.
Since the finals are based on points, the professional player in the Temple of the Gods with the highest score has now surpassed five figures and reached a six-figure score.
And many bigwigs still have a score of 0, or no more than 10,000.
At first glance, it seems that it is more advantageous to farm monsters in advance.,But you know,One of the conditions for the end of the final is the death of the boss.,From this condition, it can be analyzed that if you go to fight the boss, the score will be very high.,This can be regarded as a setting for players who enter later to tie the score.。
Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to fight the boss, otherwise you will give away the head.
Aria targets the boss not only for the guild to gain influence, but also for a quest, if you encounter a particularly tricky player before that boss comes out, win or lose, and if the consumption is too large, it will also affect the boss in the near future.
What's even more painful is that the probability of encountering the player's top master in the pinnacle tournament is much higher than usual, so he said that he was unlucky.
With a move in her heart, Aria put down the tea bowl and turned to look over.
In the air behind him, a figure was slowly emerging, and he seemed to be 'drowning', struggling to pull himself out of the air.
It was the half-elf secret method shadow thief who fought against Thunder not long ago.
"Who hurt you like this?"
A horrible wound connected from the neck to the left waist, and the flesh was a little white, and although the bleeding had stopped, it was still a wound that hurt to look at.
"It's thunder, that guy's combat power is too strong."
Of course, Aria knows what kind of virtue his companion is, and it is not too much to describe it with arrogance, if even he admits that the other party is too strong, then Lei Ming's strength is really strong, and there will be no discount in the slightest.
Raising his hand in the direction of the monster group, one of the monsters was held up by some unknown force, even if it struggled to no avail, and slowly flew near the gazebo.
"I'll help you with your wounds first."
The aria said, gesturing with the other hand a few spell-casting gestures:
"Life Drain."
The left palm lit up with a miserable white aura, and circles of green ribbon-like dots of light emerged from the monster's body, and then converged into the aria's hand, gradually replacing the miserable white magic aura of the left palm, turning into a green ball of light.
At the same time, the hapless monster stopped struggling, and the body made of human fragments turned gray as if it had lost its color, and finally fell to the ground and turned into a cloud of ashes.
And the aria slapped the life force that had just been absorbed on the half-elf, and the next moment it was obvious that the half-elf's pale face had improved, and even the terrible wound on his chest had scabbed over and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a white mark.
Mages generally lack healing methods, and of course the power of 'milk' cannot be compared with priests, there is no comparison.
The effect of using this lifedrain to restore health is still lackluster, but it is enough to restore the half-elf from a near-death state to the danger line.
Having treated the wound, Aria asked:
"Why is Lei Ming bothering you?"
"I don't know, as soon as I entered the final venue, he targeted me and followed me for more than twenty minutes, and finally I couldn't hide before I started the battle, and as a result, I used the Spirit Transfer Potion to escape, otherwise it would not be such a wound, but would have been split in half."
Lei Ming also knows a little about his arias, and is a typical lone ranger-style player.
He doesn't participate in any guilds, and he doesn't like to team up with anyone, and even if he occasionally runs into multi-person dungeons, he often throws off other players and works alone, like a lone wolf, and is a very withdrawn guy.
Lei Ming is withdrawn, has no interest in the official summit, and will not be able to target other guild players, and is even basically unwilling to dismiss with other players, it feels like he sees everyone else as an NPC, and he is not playing an online game, but a stand-alone game.
I don't know if An Yizhi will die of laughter when he learns that the aria evaluates Lei Ming, Lei Ming is obviously a sullen coquette......
However, Thunder doesn't deliberately target other players, especially the messy things between the guild and the guild.
Aria had been in contact with Thunder a few times, and he tried to recruit the lone ranger, but the other party didn't buy it and didn't show any hostility.
And this time he participated in the pinnacle, and specifically aimed at the half-elf shadow thief?
"Did Lei Ming say why?"
The half-elven shadow thief shook his head and said:
"He only said that he was entrusted by others."
"Trusted...... Well, it looks like we have to pick up the pace. ”
The magic melody rose too quickly, and after harvesting a large number of low-level players, the disadvantage of insufficient background began to slowly become apparent.
At present, there are only four of them in the fighting power that their union can handle, including Aria, and the other second-line personnel have no strength to participate in the battle with real masters at the peak, as for ordinary members......
It's all a bunch of salted fish who only shout 666.
Despite their popularity among players, the public is a very forgetful people, and if you don't think about laughing happily now, you won't be able to laugh for long if you don't manage to maintain it.
Faced with the containment of the three major guilds, the future of Magic Melody is worrying.
Pressure from players is one thing, and in games, the pressure on NPCs is still not small.
Since they occupy a city that should belong to NPCs, the original partnership of Lopwen is also a bit ambiguous, they intend to use the magic melody as a gun, but they want to prevent them from biting themselves big.
As for the Sadmir region on the other side of the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range, the entire Magic Melody Guild was simply put on the undesirable list, and all players of the Magic Melody would be wanted and encircled by the city-states in the region once they entered the Sadmir region.
These are all problems that Magic Melody must face and solve.
But Aria already has a problem with this, and that's a perfect solution.
To use an analogy, if there is a fire somewhere, how do you divert people's attention from the fire?
A: Create a bigger fire.
This is also one of the purposes of the aria to the pinnacle battle.
"I can't reach Ogg, have you seen him?"
The half-elf shook his head and said:
"Maybe someone killed him, he's the weakest of the four of us after all."
Although this is true, Oger is also a character in the combat power rankings, and even if an ordinary strong enemy can't beat it, it's still no problem.
If Oge is really killed, it will have some impact on the next plan, but of course it will not have much impact.
The two of them tacitly did not mention the dragonmen, because they knew very well that the dragonmen could not be killed, and even if the second-placed Celestial Pivot Star was facing them, the dragonmen still had a chance to survive.
- The premise is that this thing doesn't get high and forget about everything.
Silently thinking about what to do next, Aria suddenly covered her left eye, and then said:
"Someone is approaching, he is in the bamboo forest, you are now in a weak state, stand behind me."
"Who?"
The half-elf wasn't as reluctant as usual, and he knew that his current state could only help.
"I can't see clearly because of the bamboo forest, but be careful."
As he spoke, a figure came out from behind the dense bamboo forest, and stood on the other side of the stream, apparently seeing the two men in the pavilion as well.
He was wrapped around his waist more like a hide than an ornament, and on his head was a wolf fur with half a wolf's head, and the fur that originally belonged to the wolf's claws hung down from his shoulders, and at first glance it looked like two straps of bib pants.
A sickle in one hand and a hammer in the other.
With the image of such a proletarian warrior and the appearance of this savage, it is clear who this man is.
The wolf god of the Wolf Guild.
