Chapter 372 Roots
Looking at the rather huge mutant roaring towards us, and looking at the two girls on its back who screamed that they were friendly forces, all the friends present were shocked. Stunned...
But fortunately they still abide by the instructions given by Hei Fan before, and did not yell 'XX is above, this evil is worth fighting' or 'In the name of XX, these two girls He boldly shouted the slogan "It's worth saving", but quickly gave way to a path, watching the mutant who was still unaware of being reduced to a two-person mount run towards the depths of the position.
Half a minute later, at the rear of the position
Yu Ying, who kept receiving messages from players along the way, was reporting quickly and simultaneously...
"The target passed by the Statue of Dawn, no additional reaction, and continues to move."
"The target passed by the clergy team without extra cover, no additional reaction, and continues to move."
"Target After passing the trip wire, I fell down. After I got up, there was no additional reaction. I continued to move forward. By the way, the first meal team Lum and Robin were thrown out."
"The target passed through a large amount of glow powder, no... no, there was a brief hesitation, but it still didn't stop and continued to move forward! br>
“The target passed through the alchemy workshop. There was no additional reaction. It continues to move and is almost here!”
There was no problem with her judgment. Luna's mobile alchemy workshop was not far from here, and with the mutant's speed, she would soon reach here.
Mo Tan nodded lightly, held the cross in his hand tightly and muttered in a low voice: "No reaction to the goddess statue with a small amount of divine power, no reaction to the unprotected important healer, no reaction to the one who can do it with just one glance. There is no response to the traps seen through, and there is no response to the extremely threatening alchemy workshop... Well, it is basically certain that no one is secretly directing them."
"Even so..."
Priest Furman, who was holding a hammer, shook his neck, turned to Mo Tan and asked: "Then how should we explain the current situation?"
The latter rubbed his hands. On the forehead, after being silent for less than two seconds, he suddenly asked Yuying: "Can you determine its final destination?"
"To judge the size, I can only barely understand the situation through the elimination... cough, crystal."
Yu Ying immediately laughed dryly, shook his head and said: "I can't see the picture, so I can know the approximate size of the mutant. It’s good to run in which direction, how can you know it so carefully?”
“What is the approximate direction?”
< br>"Our side."
"Got it." Mo Tan took a deep breath, roughly figured out the time when the mutants arrived here, and then said in a deep voice to the people around him: " When the target comes over, don’t attack it before I do it, no matter what happens.”
Yu Ying, Furman, Yu Chen, Bugbear Basaka and Luna all nodded without asking any more questions.
"Anxiety, things don't seem to be as bad as I thought before."
Mo Tan smiled, and then arranged for everyone to spread out slightly, making sure that everyone was within each other's field of vision. Within the premise, distance was drawn.
A moment later, accompanied by a roar that was already annoying, the tall mutant with dilated pupils, gray skin, and vomiting body odor rushed over crazily from a distance, quickly approaching.
[It is not the officiant Furman. 】
Mo Tan observed the opponent's running route attentively, and immediately judged that the mutant was not interested in the orc priest who was standing farthest away.
【Not Luna. 】
Luna, who just wandered out for a short distance casually, was also excluded. Judging from the mutant's current direction, it should pass by the alchemist girl who was squatting on the ground reading a book. Of course, it did not. The possibility of an accident cannot be ruled out...
Mo Tan, who had his magic at the ready at any time, waited nervously. After a second, the irrational monster quickly passed by Luna, and there was no trace of it. The slightest desire to attack.
The latter frowned until the other party passed by him for a few seconds, covered his nose with the cuffs of his robe, and murmured in a low voice: "It really stinks."
Luna didn't care about the excessive delay, and Mo Tan, who became increasingly nervous, continued to rule out...
[It's not Basaka. 】
【Not a feathered warbler. 】
【Could it be that...】
“Ouch!!”
The mutant let out an extremely unpleasant roar, swayed his tall body, and stretched out his claw-like right hand to grab Yuchen!
There was a hint of astonishment on her pretty face. The girl who was half a beat too slow to react just raised her little hand, and the big hand carrying the stench was already under her hood...
At the same time , two low-pitched but penetrating characters suddenly sounded— —
“Stop!”
A faint light that was difficult to discern with the naked eye flashed, and at the same time as two layers of light shields emerged from Yuchen’s side, the mutant was about to shoot Yuchen The big putrid hand on the forehead suddenly stopped, and its body froze in place.
[Law Barrier]
Holy Light Sect active skills
Can grow
Mastering requirements: Holy Light Knowledge level 7, possessing the profession [Discipline Priest]
Consumption/restrictions: 20 magic points, 20 physical points, 20 faith points
Effect: Create a short-lived invisible barrier at a designated location within fifteen meters from the caster, which will hinder the movement of all units within the range. The cooling time is 180 seconds.
[Note: Take the recipe as an example. In most cases, we will use 200g noodles, 1500ml water, 2g white pepper, 100ml white vinegar, 4 eggs, cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, and then Boiling water for 30 seconds is a way to describe the effect of a skill, but occasionally, we don’t mind using some noodles, water, a pinch of white pepper, a small amount of white vinegar, and half a bowl of egg liquid (I won’t tell you what the specifications are. Bowl), three spoons of cooking wine (yes, I won’t tell you how big the spoon is), simmer for a while, and pass the boiling water through this method to tell you how to use this skill~】
Lulingzhan this The new skill that Mo Tan acquired some time ago is just like its remarks. All data except the cooling time and casting distance are extremely vague. Compared with those with specific values such as 'reduce the target's movement speed by 15%', Most of the skills and the effects of the law barrier are very abstract, like a classic Chinese home-cooked recipe that although the content is exactly the same, everyone can make different tastes.
It doesn’t even have the content ‘The specific effect depends on XX’.
But Mo Tan was unable to analyze any patterns in his previous use. After several deliberate tests, he helplessly found that the effect was different every time he used [Law Barrier]. Sometimes it's sweet, sometimes...cough, in short, both the specific effect and the coverage area are very random, and it is impossible to summarize any useful rules. Apart from the sharp trait of 'no response', it is simply the same as A certain national good brother had a good time when he first learned the Six Meridians Divine Sword. But this does not prevent [Law Barrier] from being an excellent skill, especially when it is performed at a super level!
Mo Tan's panicked 'stop' actually caused the mutant to step on the board of Uncle Niu's coffin and freeze in a posture that was very contrary to common sense in physics. More than five seconds.
As for why it is 'more than five seconds' instead of 'five seconds', this question is actually very easy to explain...
Because that mutant was pressed by the [Law Barrier] In the fifth second, a large hammer with the divine emblem of justice printed on it, a whizzing armor-piercing steel arrow, and a heavy-sized A huge condensing light arrow that was overweight and another standard condensing light arrow that was normal in size but extremely penetrating hit the mutant at the same time. In addition to Basaka's upright and overweight light arrow, the other three All the attacks were aimed at the head, so the unlucky child died on the spot without even making a "ga" sound.
There is an extra hole in the belly and most of it is missing, but there is no whole body left.
"May your desecrated soul be comforted."
Priest Furman sighed, drew an imaginary emblem of justice on the corpse of the once just ordinary person, and recited in a low voice In a word, he is completely unlike the first person who pounced on him, swung his hammer round and opened his skull.
Bassaka, the bugbear who can use the power of dawn, clapped his hands cheerfully and said inarticulately: "May Lu Shen protect the carp."
A woman who cannot have feelings. The assassin just snorted coolly, then walked over to the mutant's remains with an indifferent expression, leaned over and pulled out his valuable stick. The armor-piercing steel arrow worth 6 silver coins was put away again after being wiped twice. Since communicating with the boss who ranked second in the combat power rankings not long ago, this girl seems to be getting more and more courageous. Now, she can do things like recover arrows from severely decomposed corpses, and she is becoming more and more like a female assassin who truly has no emotions.
Well, don’t get any money...
But Yu Chen, who seemed to be in crisis but was actually prepared for it, turned around and smiled at Mo Tan: "Thank you."
"Uh, it's okay."
It seemed that he had just wondered something. Mo Tan replied subconsciously, then looked down at the completely dead mutant, and asked blankly: "How did you kill it?"
Then Yu Chen The others were also stunned.
After a few seconds, Yu Ying glanced at Mo Tan inexplicably: "You said it yourself."
Mo Tan blinked: "What did I say?"
"Let's not attack it before you do it."
Fuhrman scratched his unshaven chin and shrugged: "Then I saw you taking action, so I quickly followed suit."
Mo Tan was shocked: "I didn't take action! I just shouted."
"That... ”
Yuchen walked up to the former, gently pressed down his arm stretched flat on his left side, and whispered: "You did take action."
"..."
< br>Mo Tan, who raised his hand just to place a [Law Order Shield] for Yu Chen, twitched at the corner of his mouth, secretly scolding himself as an idiot, then coughed dryly, and said forcefully: "Actually, what I meant was that I 'attacked' Before...Hey, don't you think Luna didn't take any action..."
He suddenly and inexplicably wanted to save face.
As a result, Luna did not give him face. She just slowly raised her little hand, shook the two red gems between her fingers, and said seriously: "I only brought this, it will affect I forgot my words, so it’s useless.”
"I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Mo Tan sighed, then turned to Yu Chen and said sternly: "It's basically certain now. Although I don't know why, this mutant is obviously They are coming for you, and if I guessed correctly, those mutants did not want to attack the weak point of the defense line before, but simply wanted to rush to the rear where you are. "< br>
Because of various threads The clues are very consistent, so it is not difficult to judge this result, but the question is...
"Why?"
Yu Ying walked up to Yuchen in confusion, but because there was The NPC was present, so she did not 'harass' him as usual, but leaned forward and looked carefully at the other party's confused little face: "Although I can see it, why is it Wangyu? ”
Priest Furman frowned and speculated: "Because of Her Highness Wangyu's identity? After all, she is a saint favored by the gods, and Her Highness Xia Lian is not here, so she became the most 'attractive' among us. ?”
“No.” Luna, who was looking through her notes, shook her head without raising her head and said softly: “When Hei Fan mentioned the deer hill, His Highness Xia Lian was there. He was present, with me, and was not attacked."
Fullman immediately slapped his forehead and said suddenly: "That's right, so it has nothing to do with his identity as the God's Favorite?"
< br>Yu Chen tilted his head and thought about it, and then asked hesitantly: "Is it because I am too weak? Although we are all blessed by gods, Sister Xia Lian is different from me. If those mutants go If you attack her, they will all be knocked away..."
"I think it has nothing to do with the strength."
Mo Tan denied her point of view, staring at the corpse of the mutant and saying solemnly: "First of all, their intelligence has obviously not improved much. A mutant who can be easily knocked down by a trip wire should not be able to tell that Xia How strong is His Highness Lian, unless they can feel the so-called 'powerful aura'? ', but I personally think this is unlikely. Don't forget that in many previous conflicts, especially the one under Mida City, even His Highness Xia Lian would be attacked wildly by those mutants... …”
Everyone nodded slightly and agreed with his idea.
"Could it be because Wangyu has a great effect on us?"
Yu Ying made a guess again, hammered her palm and said: "Only she can heal in one breath There are so many people infected with the plague, and other clergy can only play a mitigating role at best. In terms of alchemy and pharmacy, only things made by Luna can play a role. The spells of mages, shamans and druids are completely useless. As for Her Highness Xia Lian, I didn’t know it before, but she can’t even use divine spells now, so...at least from suppressing the spread of the plague. From a personal perspective, Wangyu’s role is irreplaceable.”
“It’s possible, but there are still many details that don’t make sense.”
Mo Tan vaguely seemed to have grasped something, but in the end he still couldn't figure it out. He had to put on a relaxed smile: "Anyway, we have roughly figured out the mutant's target and perception distance. Let's think about it later. It's time to continue setting off. Let everyone prepare to speed up. No matter what, we will arrive at White Tower City first. Oh, by the way, let the snack team maintain a position of fifteen miles ahead of the main force. Once they encounter mutants, they will immediately send news back. "
Yu Ying laughed dryly: "That's no problem, but Luo Binwei and Hua Pao'er from the first meal team applied for two days of rest, plus mental loss allowance. "
"Uh, what's the reason?"
"Motion sickness."
