Chapter 14: A Two-Man Strategy
"Me?"
Hearing Rod's words, Lijie's eyes widened in surprise, and even Mace on the side opened her mouth in surprise.
As we all know, the spirit master in the Dragon Soul Continent is similar to the profession of pharmacist, doctor and nurse, they are basically auxiliary professions within the team, bandaging the wounds of others, healing injuries, releasing shields and expelling toxins are the most common things that spirit masters do. As for fighting on the front line? I'm afraid I've never heard of this kind of thing!
"That's right."
Rod nodded, and the moment he stepped in, he seemed to have become the commander who led the team again.
"You follow my orders for a while, it doesn't require particularly complicated skills, but it will require a bit of a high level of reaction and awareness, but as long as you are familiar with it, I don't think it will be too difficult......... What is your current mastery of energy......? How many times can the Divine Light be used? ”
Although through Lijie's healing spell before, Rhodes roughly guessed her level, but to be on the safe side, it was better to confirm it.
"I am a full-time spiritual master, and I belong to the seventh floor of the outer ring. As for the divine radiance......... It can only be used once a day, and it can last for a day at a time...... If my soul power consumption is not large. ”
The caster's class level is different from that of combat professionals, in addition to the class level, they also have a hierarchical division of soul power, which are the outer ring, the middle ring, and the inner ring, of which the outer ring is ten layers, the middle ring is seven layers, and the inner ring is three layers. This is because the caster believes that their power comes from the depths of their soul, and the common belief that the soul is regarded by the caster as three intertwined rings, and that the deeper a caster probes into his soul, the stronger his power will be. And Lijie's strength has reached the seventh layer of the outer ring, which means that she is very likely to break through the limit of the outer ring caster and enter the ranks of the middle ring.
For a sixth-level spirit master, this is really rare. But in this way, Rhodes is more certain.
"Very well, remember, from now on, you don't need to cast a healing light on me, even if I am injured, pay more attention to Mr. Mace, and put a shield on him if there is danger...... Do you understand? ”
"This ......... I see, Mr. Rhodes. ”
Although some words popped out of Rod's mouth from time to time that made Lijie feel inexplicable, she still understood what the other party meant, so she nodded slightly to show that she understood.
"Mr. Mace, how many days do we have enough supplies?"
"It's enough for three or four days."
Holding the travel bag in his hand, the fat merchant thought for a moment and then replied, but there was a trace of sadness on his face.
"If we save some food......"
"It's a good opportunity to lose weight now."
If Rod was laughing when he said this, then Mace could still take it as a joke, but unfortunately Rode's expression was very calm, without any smile, which made the fat merchant even more entangled, he was holding the travel bag, and when he was about to say something more, Rod had already turned his head and gave an order to Lijie.
"Cast the Divine Light."
"It's good."
Lijie nodded slightly in response to Rod's order, and then, she stretched out her hands and closed her eyes.
Soon, a soft light slowly emerged from the center of the girl's palm, and the soft white light spread out in all directions, I don't know if it was an illusion, the fat merchant found that the dense fog around him was shining on this light, and he began to retreat quickly, after he rubbed his eyes, he found that the surroundings that were originally shrouded in the thick fog were much clearer at this moment. Some of the ruins could only be seen as a vague shadow, but now the broken walls and houses can be clearly seen. This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, after all, no matter what, it is always safer to have a clearer vision.
"I'll be the first to go, Lijie will follow, Mr. Mace, you go to the back of the line, don't be too far away from us, no matter what happens, don't act alone."
There was silence among the ruins.
The glow of positive energy dispelled the fog, but it did not dispel the dangers within. Everyone moved forward slowly under the leadership of Rod, stopping from time to time to observe the surroundings, and then continued to move forward——— but soon, Rod waved his hand again, signaling the two to stop.
If his memory is correct, he is almost close to the spawn location of the first wave of mobs. …,
As expected, not long after Rhodes stopped, several faint points of light appeared in the fog ahead, and they looked like eyes.
"So, what's that?"
Mace immediately became nervous.
"It's a ghost."
Rhodes stretched out his right hand, and soon, the star mark appeared in his hand.
"Be careful, they won't get too close."
As soon as Rod finished speaking, everyone saw the fog in front of them suddenly shrink and rise, and then spit out three strange creatures.
They looked like they had human form, but their bodies were covered in a dense mist, and the three monsters stood together, vaguely unable to see their borders, and only those three pairs of bright little eyes could confirm that it was not just a simple mist.
Maybe it's even harder.
"Lijie, cast a healing light on the first one."
Healing light?
Hearing this order, a trace of doubt flashed through the girl's mind, it was a healing spell, why did you want to cast it on this monster? However, this question only flashed through Lijie's mind, and soon, Lijie raised her right hand and cast a healing light on the monster in front of her.
As a spirit master, Li Jie's skills are still very good. The Healing Light is a medium-range healing spell that is not difficult to cast as long as the target's location can be determined. For Lijie, it was even more relaxed, but perhaps because the other party was not a companion, but a monster, the girl's movements were a little hesitant, but she still completed the spell quickly.
A stream of white light immediately emerged from the sky, and then enveloped the ghost's body. According to the original effect, the life wrapped in it will immediately recover a certain degree of injury, and it can even cheer people up, which is the foundation of the spells used by the spirit master.
But the ghost's performance was completely unexpected by the girl, and at the same time as it was shrouded in the white light, the ghost let out a scream that even she could hear, and then its standing body bent down as if it had been punched, and continued to tremble, and the fog that enveloped its body even fell apart in that moment, like ice and snow melted by the sun. This surprised Li Jie, and she even subconsciously lowered her head to look at her hands, unable to figure out how she could release a spell with such lethality.
After seeing the performance of the ghost, Rhodes was very calm, you must know that the positive energy generated by the healing light of the ghost is originally the nemesis of the negative energy aggregate of the ghost, not to mention that half of Lijie's bloodline is orthodox angel blood, and the positive energy condensed by the angel is different from the nature condensed by ordinary humans in terms of quality, if the positive energy cast by the latter is hot boiling water for the ghost, then the positive energy condensed by the former is no less than a high concentration of sulfuric acid, and fortunately, Lijie is just a mixed blood, If she had been a pure angel, the ghost would have been wiped out long ago.
Li Jie didn't understand why a healing spell would have such an effect, but in fact, the players in the Dragon Soul Continent basically knew very well, in their opinion, saying that it was a healing light was just wearing a vest that concealed people's ears, and the essence of this spell was to cast a positive energy. It's just that positive energy will bring healing effects when it encounters a living body, and being called so for the sake of convenience does not mean that it can only heal injuries. In the early days of the Dragon Soul Continent, there was a joke among players: the most tragic thing for a necromancer is to encounter a group of undead——— because the necromancer's spells are basically from negative energy, and using them to attack undead creatures that are also composed of negative energy will only have the effect of healing rather than destruction. This also made many necromancer players who once fantasized about manipulating the army of death to dominate the world have to tearfully learn some elemental spells to ensure their advantage over undead monsters——— right, they sometimes have to work as wet nurses.
Essentially, necromancers and spirit masters are not much different, they mostly live in group environments where their abilities are unable to cause damage to them, and only have an effect when they encounter opposite attributes. It's just that for necromancers, the chance of encountering a living form is relatively higher. As for the spirit masters, it was not until the middle of the Darkness War, when the undead were raging, that they got rid of the hat of the logistics staff and became a fierce general in the front. Until then, the probability of a spirit master being able to encounter the undead was very low, and since NPCs didn't have as much information as the player's knowledge of the Dao, it wasn't surprising that they would stick to the rules. …,
But now is not the time to be a businessman.
"Attack the two in the back!"
Rhodes swayed and rushed towards the ghost in front of him, giving the order to Lijie at the same time.
"Yes!"
Perhaps inspired by the vision, Lijie's answer was also very energetic, and soon, two more rays of positive energy fell from the sky and fell on the other two ghosts. A soft glow shrouded them, halting their attempts to move forward. And taking advantage of this opportunity, Rhodes, who activated the shadow flash, has already come to the first ghost.
“———!”
The spirits roused by the positive energy let out a scream, and Rhodes in front of him became the target of their anger. Soon, the ghost in front of him suddenly stretched out its translucent claws and grabbed Rod with a "whew".
Although Lijie's strength weakens their defenses, their attack power is greatly increased as a result, and if they are not careful, they are likely to capsize in the gutter.
But for Rod, of course, this kind of thing will not be allowed to happen.
He was misshaped, avoiding the ghost's outstretched claws, and then the white blade in his hand spun sharply, stabbing straight forward.
Vital Attack!
The star mark accurately hit the only half-physical soul condensation in the ghost's illusory body, which made the ghost, which was already in pain under the glow of positive energy, let out a wail, it raised its claws in despair, and then its body, which was already on the verge of collapse, completely disappeared from form, turned into a pile of floating dust and dissipated.
At that moment, two other ghosts attacked.
