Chapter 88 Ten bets and nine losses (please subscribe)
Compared to the mage who casts spells for a long time, the arrows of the marksman are undoubtedly faster.
The sharpshooter who has been adjusted into a double-shot arrow, raising his hand to shoot two arrows, the fourth-level mage with almost no physical defense ability, fell to his knees on the spot under the influence of intermediate archery.
The number of mages is not large. Including the two level 5 archmages, there are only 18 in total, which does not pose much of a threat.
However, Xu Lai's life is at stake. The most important thing is that compared to gargoyles, gargoyles, even if they are just nomads, are more important in Xu Lai's heart.
Flame archers need to wait a moment. The enchanted flame arrow can basically kill a mage instantly. Even if it cannot be killed, the subsequent burning can also kill it.
After being consumed by the shooters for one round, the remaining 11 mages were able to finish casting.
Eleven scorching red rays flew into the group of stone statues without Xu Lai's surprise.
With a bang, holes as big as the mouth of a tea cup appeared on each of the gargoyles. Especially the two hit by the Archmage's rays had wounds as wide as the mouth of a bowl.
Even with the blessing of Xu Lai's primary resistance, ten gargoyles still fell from the sky. One of them was lucky enough to trigger the magic immunity effect of primary resistance and did not suffer any damage.
The faster you rush, the faster you die. This is indeed an eternal truth.
The gargoyles are faster than the gargoyles, so even if they flew out together, they were still ahead by a large distance, and therefore received a severe beating from the mages.
The physical defense capabilities of gargoyles are pretty good, after all, they are golems made of stone, but they have no magic resistance.
Xu Lai originally thought that the third-level stone monsters would not die so easily. After all, their health points were quite high and they had their own resistance.
However, this group of fort mages are too ruthless. Unfortunately, they only release default spells. If one person throws a large spell down, Xu Lai's troops will suffer heavy losses.
Of course, at a distance of less than a hundred meters, Xu Lai and the others would charge at full speed for only a few seconds, so they probably wouldn't have time to cast a spell.
The first rafter was broken first. After the second round of strikes by the shooter, there were only 5 mages left. The archmage who was hit by the flame arrow was also on fire, and he probably couldn't last a few seconds.
It was the final blow of these five mages that not only destroyed Xu Lai's gargoyles, but also took away the lives of 3 gargoyles.
The archmage and mages had a very good explosion rate. Almost every one of them left something for Xu Lai. The least one was three gold coins, and the more one gave Xu Lai a full 8 gold coins.
Two archmages, one exploded a bottle of blue magic replenishing potion. Unfortunately, it was a small bottle. One bottle replenished 10 points of mana.
To be honest, Xu Lai and Su Ya both had healing spells, but these two spells were not released throughout the process.
It wasn’t that Xu Lai wanted to save his magic power, but that those gargoyles and gargoyles were all instant kills and didn’t give him a chance to heal at all.
And the mage who was approached was completely worthless. A gargoyle and a level 2 monster could easily leave a deep wound on the mage.
The remaining Archmage was shot together by the mercenary, and he was also killed in one blow.
The archmage who was instantly killed left a scroll to Xu Lai, which was the flame ray spell released by the archmage.
[Fire Ray]: Spell scroll, this spell can be released by releasing magic power, or it can be released at once without any consumption by tearing the scroll.
Note: This spell is a scroll spell and is not affected by hero skills, talents, etc.
Fire Ray (Strong): Consumes 30 points of mana to release a powerful ray that damages 20 (fixed) * 3 + 100 points of fire damage. There is no cooling time and the casting time is 1.5 seconds.
Because it is a scroll exploded by an archmage, it is an enhanced flame ray, just like the acid spell of a level 5 witch and the acid spell of a level 4 witch.
The 20 points of fixed damage multiplied by 3 is the spiritual strength of the Archmage. It is directly fixed by the scroll and is not affected by Xu Lai's own spirit and related skills.
Similarly, the mage's influence on spell effects, such as spell damage and other effects, will not be inherited on this scroll. If you rely on this scroll to cast a spell, the damage will always be fixed. It will only be reduced by the opponent's relevant skills and equipment, and will not be strengthened in any form.
Of course, there are benefits. Xu Lai can rely on this scroll to cast spells without having to learn this spell.
At the same time, when Xu Lai has no mana, he can cast spells without any consumption by directly tearing up the scroll, at the cost of the scroll disappearing permanently.
The group of stone statue monsters that had just been deceived and had not yet warmed up had lost all their third-level advanced units, and their number had also dropped sharply to 21.
The most important thing is that the main output of this battle is still the group of level 5 shooters.
Other soldiers have also gained some experience, but now Xu Lai's men have exceeded a hundred. Evenly distributed, not a single advancement has appeared.
But in general, this battle was worth it. Xu Lai even felt that the gold coins and items dropped by the light mage were worth the lives of the dozen or so stone statues.
Not to mention that behind this group of mages, there is a witch's cabin.
With the idea of recruiting witches, Xu Lai climbed up to this witch's cabin, which was also hung on a tree, but was completely different from the prophet's cabin.
This time, Xu Lai knew the rules better and knocked on the door honestly.
However, Xu Lai just wanted to knock on the door. The moment his hand touched the door, the door opened automatically.
In the hut, a witch who was less than 1.2 meters tall, with a pleated face and a tall pointed wizard hat, smiled at Xu Lai with wide eyes.
Before Xu Lai could speak, the witch opposite said:
“I haven’t had anyone here for a long time, little hero, come in and sit down.”
To be honest, the witch was very enthusiastic. Even though she was very old, she still welcomed Xu Lai with a smile.
Inexplicably, Xu Lai felt a little uneasy. He always felt that there was a trace of malice in the witch's smile.
Xu Lai wanted to turn around and leave, but his body refused to obey and walked into the hut.
The witch entertained Xu Lai warmly and gave him a cup of dark green drink that was said to have magical powers for him to taste.
The Bibo-like drink looks very refreshing, but Xu Lai is very cautious about what he puts into his mouth and plans to ask clearly before drinking.
Most of these buildings in the wild are naturally bred by magic power. Xu Lai has never encountered danger in such a wild building, so even though he was wary of this witch, he did not intend to refuse.
But the witch smiled and said: "Drinking it will only do you good, no harm.
If you are not willing to drink it, I can only leave it for the next time A destined person."
Xu Lai swallowed and chose to believe in this witch.
He didn't like gambling before, but after he awakened in Gram Village and gained diplomacy, he now likes it a little bit.
There were originally only a few dozen subordinates, but due to gambling, the scale gradually expanded to more than a hundred people now.
Even if the bet against the mage failed, he did not lose. Besides, he always gained benefits and never suffered a loss in these wild buildings.
Then Xu Lai picked up the drink and drank it all in one gulp. Then, Xu Lai thumped and fell down in confusion.
When he woke up again, he was already on the grass, with the hut above his head, but it was already empty.
As the witch said, Xu Lai did not suffer a loss, he got a benefit, but he may not want this benefit.
