Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 259: Shaman

Views:

Ye Ci looked at all his existing skills, and finally found a few more suitable skills. For example, to deal with this kind of monster with a relatively high level, the best way is to give it all kinds of continuous damage first, because although the continuous damage is not much blood each time, it ignores the level, and the damage is higher. The skills are basically limited by the level penalty, either miss or reduce the damage value. And then controlling his speed, grinding this 75th-level magma man to death is not a difficult task.

Ye Ci now threw a frost trap on the road that the magma man will definitely pass by in a while. Frost trap is a trap that can effectively control the speed of monsters. Hunter is not a profession with many control skills. Therefore, every control skill will be precious. As long as it is used well, it can cause indelible damage to the opponent. harm.

After arranging the trap, Ye Ci gave himself an enhanced falcon guard. This guard can effectively increase long-range damage. It belongs to a wild guard that hunters must use when attacking. This skill is combined with the enhanced hunter mark. Using it, it can often achieve the effect of doubling the damage value. Then, Ye Ci threw an enhanced hunter's mark on the head of the walking magma man. In this dark and dark cave even filled with the smell of strongman's sulfur, the red enhanced hunter's mark was particularly conspicuous.

.

After making preparations, Ye Ci combined the skills she just selected into a linking skill and shot at the magma man. Serpent Sting, Bleeding Sting, Shadow Arrow, these three skills do not require a high level. The cooling time is very fast, and these three skills are all continuous damage skills, each with a duration of more than ten seconds, which is the most suitable for dealing with such high-level monsters, and then the shock arrow, Concussion arrow is a control skill that can reduce the opponent's travel speed. Ye Ci's current concussion arrow is level 5, which can reduce the monster's movement speed by 50% for eight seconds. However, if the target stunned by the shock arrow is receiving other attacks at this time. Immediately wake up and resume walking speed. So at this time, Ye Ci stopped attacking and waited until the magma monster stepped on the frost trap before continuing to attack.

The magma man was walking around his territory very leisurely. Even if he was marked with the Enhanced Hunter's Mark, he didn't find anything until Ye Ci's first arrow hit him. Although he didn't feel much pain, he was still irritated. Looking around, I immediately saw Ye Ci not far away, it whistled and flew towards Ye Ci. But the next shocking arrow made him slow down again, moving step by step in the direction of Ye Ci.

On his head, the damage values quickly floated up one by one. It seemed so comforting.

It takes a lot of skill when attacking magma people. For example, this kind of monster has a great ability to avoid damage to fire magic. Therefore, when attacking such fire monsters, fire magicians are basically relatively good, while ice magicians and holy or dark magic Legal professions are more popular, especially warlocks. They have more control skills. When you lose a few control skills when fighting such monsters, you can easily kill them. And the profession of melee department will cost money to deal with this kind of monster. Unless you learn the general skill "Stone Skin", the fire damage will be reduced, otherwise you need to eat some potions of the heated kang. As for hunters and rangers, long-range physics-based professions need to pay more attention to fighting this monster. They don't have much control skills after all, and. Arrows are generally easy to destroy. If the shot is on the magma, the attack is basically useless.

Monsters like magma people are very common in maps after level 60. It does not mean that monsters such as magma people are easy to appear, but that the probability of such monsters consisting of two or more elements has greatly increased.

Take the magma man in front of you as an example. It is made of stone and magma. Therefore, players should pay attention when attacking it. First, the weapon should not directly attack the part with magma, because the temperature here is extremely high, and There is also the effect of corrosive weapons, which will greatly increase the repair cost. More importantly, the part that attacks the magma will not cause too much damage to it.

. Therefore, when attacking magma monsters, it is necessary to choose a good attack position. It is best to choose the kind of deadly joints, such as the neck, waist, knees, etc., which can not only bring additional damage, but also It will greatly increase the hit rate, and sometimes even the fatality rate.

Ye Ci usually only chooses the waist and knees when choosing the attack parts of the magma man. It is not because she does not know that the neck is likely to cause higher damage, but because the neck joint is very dangerous. Because magma bubbles out from the head and shoulders of the magma man, if the arrow is inserted in the neck, it will be easily burned, and it will not cause continuous damage.

The shock arrow made the magma man move a lot slower. Soon, the snake stab and the bloody stinger had cooled down. At this time, the magma man had reached the edge of the coverage area of the frost trap. Although the shock arrow still had 2 seconds, Ye Ci did not hesitate to add a poisonous snake thorn and a bloody thorn to the magma man. The magma man was woken up all of a sudden, and it rushed towards Ye Ci with a whimper, but it stepped into Ye Ci's frost trap, and only heard a "bump", a diameter of about eighteen yards. A thin layer of ice appeared on the ground, which was full of sharp ice edges, and above this range, there were scattered snowflakes falling down, which was the effect of the frost trap being triggered.

Although in such a hot environment, the frost trap will melt quickly, but the slow effect caused is enough. Ye Ci looked at the current health bar of the magma man, and it has been knocked out by one-third. As long as all the following skills are not missed, the magma man should be able to die before he encounters him.

Ideals are always plump, and reality is always skinny.

Although Ye Ci kept releasing skills with relatively high damage, that hit rate really made Ye Ci want to hit the wall. Soon the magma man got out of the frost trap and moved freely. He flew towards Ye Ci with a whimper, and Ye Ci had no choice but to start moving quickly. She originally wanted to fly this huge stupid guy with a kite to his death, but this place is really small enough that there are no conditions for flying a kite, not to mention that there are two magma people sleeping soundly not far away.

Ye Ci can only dodge the magma man up and down, and try to keep the distance between himself and it at least eight yards. The magma man is tall, so he is a bit bulky, and he is made of stone, so he has a high self-weight, and it is still very difficult to catch sensitive hunters. Its rotation speed couldn't catch up with Ye Ci at all, and several times he felt that he was about to reach her, but let her slip away from his hands again. This situation made the magma man very angry. It raised its two boulder fists high and made a roaring roar. The magma on his body also began to boil quickly, making a "puchipuchi" sound. This is a unique skill of magma people - boiling magma. It usually appears when the magma man has been attacked for three minutes and has not died, or when his health is less than 10%. The appearance of this skill means that the magma on the magma man will be sputtered around indiscriminately. This is basically a 360-degree sputtering without dead ends, which will cause very large fire damage.

.

However, this skill can be interrupted, however. Leaf Ci now has no effective skills to interrupt this reading. If this skill leaf word appears, you can only dodge quickly, or you will be hit by it.

Ye Ci originally wanted to jump back. In this way, the maximum damage range can be avoided. However, what she did not expect was that there was a blind spot behind her, and she could not step back. This made her heart sink. It seemed that she could only take this one alive. Ye Ci took out a bottle of the middle-level kang potion and poured it into her mouth. Although, the intermediate-level kang potion seemed powerless to deal with such a monster of level 75. . But a little effect is better than nothing at all.

Just when Ye Ci was ready to take on this attack, he suddenly heard a sound like the electric current of "Zizzi" sounding near him. And the magma man in front of him who was preparing to use the boiling magma suddenly lowered his head. Ye Ci was stunned, although she didn't know what was going on. However, she saw a "paralyzed" state in the status bar of the magma man. She quickly jumped away, and while jumping and firing skills, she released the distance between herself and the magma man.

Soon, the magma man screamed and turned into countless black stones that fell to the ground and shattered. Ye Ci took a long breath. She looked around, wanting to know what was going on just now. Soon, she found that there were two or three totems stuck at the feet of the magma man. The electric sound of "zizizi" is emitted. This is the shaman's lightning totem. In addition to causing lightning damage to the opponent, it can also cause paralysis. It is the best skill used by the shaman to kill and set fire.

But is there a shaman anywhere near here? Is it the player? Ye Ci himself denied this idea. It was not easy for him to float to this small island. How could other players find it here? Even if you find this island, you may not be able to find the Doro tribe, and even if you find the Doro tribe, you may not be able to reach this dark cave. Even if they were able to get to the dark cave, they wouldn't necessarily have to help. If it's not a player, what is it

Ye Ci was still looking around in the cave, but he couldn't find the skill who put it.

However, she soon heard the sound of "Kara", and some fine stones fell from the entrance. Ye Ci squinted and looked over there, only to find a timid figure at the corner Hiding there, I don't know who it is. She whispered, "Who is it?"

The other party did not speak.

There was a bit of sternness in Ye Ci's voice: "Who is it? Come out! Otherwise I'll be welcome!"

The other party hesitated for a while, and then walked out slowly. Ye Ci took a closer look and couldn't help laughing. Isn't this Arauna who was instructed by her to stay outside the cave? How could he run in

"It's me, the white elf

. Araunna looked at Ye Ci nervously. It seemed that he was a little uneasy about disobeying the employer's order without authorization: "Please don't tell Nob that I disobeyed your order, otherwise, he will deduct my salary. . "

"Didn't I tell you to be outside? Why did you come in?" Ye Ci smiled, walked in front of Araunah, touched his head, and her voice softened: "It's very dangerous inside."

"I know it's dangerous, but, but..." Arauna raised his eyes and looked at Ye Ci, his eyes were bright. Even in this dim cave, Ye Ci could see the brilliance in his eyes. "However, I don't think I can be afraid. If I'm afraid, I can't fight again."

Ye Ci didn't speak, just looked at Araunah quietly.

Arauna saw that Ye Ci didn't speak, and hurriedly said: "I just think I should learn from you, I shouldn't be so timid in everything, I need to be brave, so I want to help you. Although, I may only It will cause you trouble, but I promise I will do my best to help you, even if it only helps you a little bit, I will be satisfied..."

Araunna nervously explained something there. It seems that he wanted to fight with Ye Ci in the dark cave, and Ye Ci's silence made him mistakenly think that Ye Ci wanted to reject him. So he kept explaining and selling himself, liking Ye Ci to change his mind. As everyone knows, Ye Ci is thinking about another problem at all.

Just when Araunah said that even he felt a little desperate, Ye Ci finally said: "Are you a shaman?"

Araunah's chatter was interrupted at once. He switched the stick in his right hand to his left, and wiped the hide with his right hand. It was obvious that he was a little nervous. He even lowered his head, a little afraid to look at Ye Ci, and shook his head after a while: "I'm not, I'm a warrior."

"You're not a shaman, so who put the totem just now?" This is what makes Ye Ci strange.

"It's me." Araunah said in a low voice, as if it were a very sinful thing.

"A warrior who can put totems?" Ye Ci's voice was full of disbelief: "It seems that warriors don't have this skill. Why do your Doro warriors still put totems?"

"No, it's not like that

. Listening to Ye Ci's question, Araunah shook his head again and again. He bit his lower lip and seemed to have something embarrassing to say. Although Ye Ci is not a very curious person, in the game this kind of She still habitually breaks the casserole and asks to the end. After all, sometimes these little things are the weights that determine the final success.

"You can trust me if you choose to speak. I will keep it a secret for you. Of course, if you choose not to speak, I will not have any prejudice against you." Ye Ci touched Araunah's head, although It seems to have given Araun a very good choice. In fact, the inducement in this sentence is of great significance. If a person is a little less cautious, he will express all his difficulties under this sentence.

Of course, this choice has no effect on a high-IQ NPC like Darufal. After all, he is relatively old and generally won't fall for this kind of kidnapping, but Arauna is different. It's not that Arauna's IQ is low, but the fate of all NPCs in it is the same as in reality, which means that NPCs of his age also command the analytical abilities that NPCs of this age should have, so , it is easy to be hooked on this kind of word game of leaf words.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a while, Arauna chose to tell Ye Ci his secret: "White Elf, can you keep the secret for me?"

"Of course." Ye Ci nodded. She has always been tight-lipped about NPC's secrets. This is the rule of the game, isn't it

"I'm just a warrior, but my body is very poor, and my performance in combat is always the worst, but I'm very interested in controlling magic power, and I often go to see Lord Darufal practicing in the dead of night. Magic, I secretly learned that totem pole just now from Lord Darufal." A blush appeared on Arauna's face, and it seemed that he was still embarrassed about his stealing a teacher.

"It's a good thing, why keep it a secret." Ye Ci looked at Arauna's small body and thought that he should be much stronger when studying the law system than studying the melee profession. She has seen a very strong mage, but she has never seen such a thin warrior, a warrior who can be blown by the wind, what kind of flesh and blood do you use to fight monsters? What a fool.

Hearing Ye Ci's words, Arauna's head shook like a rattle. "No, no, absolutely not."

"why?"

"Among us Doro people, those who can learn shaman are all gifted people. These people are either the children of officials or the children of nobles. I have never heard that a poor ghost like me can Shamanism." Arauna waved her hands together this time.

"Does this talent have anything to do with status?" Because the Doro people are very closed, Ye Ci doesn't know whether the things in their tribe are the same as the outside, so they can't use the logic outside to reason about the things inside.

.

"Of course it does matter, anyway, people with high status are more talented than our poor people." Arauna was not good at speaking. He hummed for a long time without saying why, and finally had to use such a perfunctory concluding remark as the end of his explanation.

Ye Ci laughed dumbly. It seemed that Araunah did not understand the relationship between this class privilege and talent, because the shamans in the Doro tribe belonged to extremely powerful people, so Araunah simply thought that Only powerful people can become shamans. She didn't want to convince Arau to take anything, after all, it was his own idea, but she wanted to convince this guy to walk with her in the dark cave. Of course, the premise is. He has to use the skills of the shaman.

"Do you want to explore this cave with me?" Ye Ci changed the subject and successfully diverted Araunna's attention.

Arauna looked at the two magma people who were sleeping soundly not far away, and then looked at Ye Ci, as if he had made a decision in his heart.

Ye Ci saw that he hesitated, so he said: "I heard that the magma people here have a lot of spoils. I am not a Doro, and these spoils are my own, if you participate. You also have a part. I miss yours. There should be a lot of need for these spoils in the family." Ye Ci felt that she was not a good person, especially when she met relatively simple people or NPCs, this feeling was even more centered on Ye Ci's consciousness. In the next set of deceiving people to give themselves white jobs. What a sinful thing this is.

Family is really one of the things that Araunah cares about very much. After hearing Ye Ci's words again, Araunah's body trembled. Then raised his head to look at Ye Ci, there was a strong struggle in his eyes. It can be seen that it was a huge and strong temptation for Araunah to bring back some spoils for her mother.

"But, I'm from Doro, and I have to work on the loot I got in the dark cave..."

"Ah, you seem to be mistaken. I said, I'm not from Doro, I'm not governed by your rules, so all the spoils of war here are mine. And you're just my mercenary , as long as you please me. I can reward you with something as a reward for my satisfaction with your work. This is called tipping in our country."

"Ah?" Apparently, the simple Araunah didn't know what to tip or not at all, and he was not very old. Living in such a closed place again, I really can't understand the twists and turns that Ye Ci said.

. I just vaguely felt that what the white elf said seemed to make sense. So he scratched his hair, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, white elf, I want to explore this cave with me."

"Of course there's nothing wrong with that, one more person will give you more hope of victory." Ye Ci smiled slightly, like a fox who had benefited, only the tail of the fox didn't come out: "However, Araunah, Do you want to fight with me as a warrior or as a shaman?"

"Of course it's a warrior..." Although Arauna was very simple, he still insisted on some things. He didn't think too much about Ye Ci's question, so he answered Ye Ci directly.

Obviously, Ye Ci is very dissatisfied with this answer, and he is still a warrior with his small body... It's not even the third child...

"No, Arauna, I don't need a warrior, and you know that this magma man does a lot of damage to warriors. I don't have that much money to buy you potions to heal your wounds, so if you want to explore the dark with me For caves, you must use your shaman's identity."

"No! I'm a warrior! I'm not a noble shaman!" In fact, people sometimes get into the horns, and Yarau rejected Ye Ci's suggestion as soon as he took a sip.

Ye Ci couldn't help rolling his eyes, this kid doesn't understand anything about flexibility, he's really a nerd. Ye Ci sighed and compromised: "Okay, you are a warrior, but I would like to ask you, this warrior, can you give me a few totem poles when I fight monsters?"

"this… "

"I'll keep it a secret."

"Okay, of course there's no problem with this." Arauna looked happy when she saw Ye Ci's affirmation of her totem pole, so she didn't continue to refuse to use the shaman's skills.

Ye Ci's eyes rolled even more, this is another way of saying, it's alright, what's the matter... She walked towards the corpse of the magma man just now and didn't forget to explain: "You don't need it for a while. Rush up to melee attack. Just follow me with a ranged attack."

"Okay." Anyway, all the white elves that he insisted on have agreed to him, and Araunah didn't care too much about those little details. Anyway, he was just a mercenary. He just nodded his head and did what his employer said.

The income of magma people is obviously much higher than that of mining outside. Not only will they explode gold coins, they will explode ancient ores, and they will also explode skill books. Ye Ci looked at the skill book in his hand, and suddenly it was the shaman's intermediate skill Lightning Chain

. Lightning chains are very common, and even if you take them back, you may not be able to sell them, so Ye Ci straightened up and gave the book directly to Yaruo to get the benefit: "This book is for you."

"What book is this?" Araunah obviously didn't know Common Tongue. He flipped through the book, and even took down the skill book in his hand. Fortunately, the skill book in Destiny does not require you to understand it. As long as it is a professional opponent, it will automatically learn after opening it. but. Ye Ci didn't know if NPCs could learn the player's skill book, so giving this Lightning Chain to Arauna was purely an experiment.

Ye Ci straightened the skill book in Yaruo's hand, and then asked him to read it. Araunah doubted him. Hua Hua Hua read the pages, only to see that the lightning chain turned into a white light and disappeared. And Arauna was stunned there, and it took a while to recover, and exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my God. This is actually a skill book of lightning chains!"

Ye Ci nodded, it seems that NPCs can learn the player's skill book. If this is the case, if you open the servant system in the future, you can get some skill books for the NPCs you buy to learn. As long as you train them well, you can become a powerful assistant for yourself.

"Let's go." Ye Ci didn't continue talking to Arauna, and rushed towards the next target.

Although Arauna is a stealer, his moves are very powerful. After all, he is an NPC and is completely set by the computer, even if his skills are not as powerful as Darufal. However, the accuracy of releasing skills and the degree of grasp of fighters are much more accurate than that of ordinary shamans. Ye Ci looked at Araunna's increasingly skilled skills and combat skills, and even thought, if he could change his equipment. Bringing the level up again, this guy is much more powerful than many master-level shamans. Just a pity. Araunah shouldn't be able to bring out this map, otherwise it would be really unbelievable to cultivate slowly.

Araunna fully cooperated with Ye Ci in this battle. He didn't know what was going on in Ye Ci's mind, but he could use shaman's skills without any scruples in battle. Make him feel happy inside.

After hearing the system prompt that the relationship between Araunah and herself has broken through intimacy, Ye Ci threw a reconnaissance technique on Araunah. This time, she could see the character attributes of Araunah. She found that although the child was young , the level is actually the same as her! Oh dear, no wonder she said how it hurts him to hit those magma people. While attacking the magma man with Arauna, Ye Ci began to look at Arauna's character attributes. At first glance, he saw that the child's occupation was written: Shaman. Instead of the warrior that Araona insists on, it can be seen that this is a profession that has been recognized by the system, but there is still a process to make him admit that he is a shaman.

Probably because he didn't wear equipment, Araou's own data is not too high, but the growth value is very good, even much better than the average player, and there are two written in his social category. Word: mercenary/slave

.

Ye Ci's heart suddenly moved.

This kid is actually a mercenary/slave!

The mercenary system and the servant system are both modes that players have not yet explored in Destiny. There are essential differences between these two modes. The mercenary, as the name suggests, hires an NPC capable of fighting as his assistant to participate in the battle, but it needs to pay a certain amount of money to the mercenary association. After the mercenary dies, it can be resurrected through the mercenary association. . However, there is no restriction of loyalty between mercenaries and employers, and mercenaries only passively execute the orders of their employers. Mercenaries have no other use than combat.

But servants are different.

The scope of servants is much wider than that of mercenaries. There are generally two ways to obtain slaves. The most common one is to spend a certain amount of money to buy corresponding NPCs in the slave market, and there is a relatively rare one that is encountered in the wild. NPCs who volunteer to be slaves to the player.

These NPCs have their own attributes, but these attributes can only be seen after reaching a certain level of intimacy with them. If you are lucky, you can meet a slave with advanced intelligence and learning ability. The master will make a fortune, not only can the slaves become their own exclusive life skills, but also allow them to do things for themselves that players usually can't or don't have time to do. Of course, if you are lucky enough to meet a combat-type NPC, it will be smoke on the ancestral grave. Because fighting slaves are too rare, they not only have high IQs, but they can also learn various life skills and can participate in battles. They are all-rounders. The most important thing is that you only need to pay him an inexpensive salary to keep yourself. and his loyalty on it. No need to pay a lot of money like a mercenary.

But, despite this, players are willing to use mercenaries rather than buy slaves. First, slaves are expensive. And buying slaves was like a gamble. You never know what the potential attributes of the slave you bought are. If you spend a lot of money and time to cultivate a rubbish attribute, then you will lose your wife and lose your army. Not worth the loss. Of course, the kind of NPCs who volunteered to become slaves in the wild can see the attributes, but this kind of NPCs are simply horns. You never know when you'll come across such an npc.

And the social classification that Arauna now shows indicates that this child can be a mercenary. Can be a slave again. This probably depends on the relationship between the player and him. Ye Ci couldn't help but coveted in his heart. If he could cultivate loyalty with Araunah before he left here, he might be able to take him away.

A shaman slave with a very high growth rate... and also a fighting type, Ye Ci felt excited just thinking about it

. However, this kind of thinking cannot be discovered by the other party. As long as the other party discovers this kind of thinking, it will arouse the other party's vigilance, and it is not easy to become a slave.

Since he has his thoughts on Araunah, Ye Ci will of course not be stingy with Araunah, as long as it is the shaman's skill book or equipment that burst out and hand it over to Araunah. Although it can only be worn in caves, these still make Araunah excited.

As Araunah's equipment has improved, so has his attack and control. The two of them cooperated to clear the monster faster. After cleaning up two more magma men, Ye Ci found a cluster of shining stones in the corner of the cave. They are as bright as crystal.

Ye Ci pointed to the clump of stones and asked Arauna, "What is that?"

"Magic crystals are used to supply energy. It can be installed on arrow towers or defensive facilities to improve its attack and defense. It can also be installed on totem poles. The totem poles in our tribe also have this inlaid on them." Araunna seemed to be very familiar with this thing.

"You're quite familiar with this." Ye Ci couldn't help but feel a little strange about Araou's look. This kind of magic crystal is hidden in such a deep dark cave, it is definitely not easy for ordinary people to get, and Arauna is the first time to enter the dark cave, but seems to be familiar with this thing, which makes people have to be surprised. This thing is very precious. It stands to reason that how could such a poor person at the bottom of the tribe know such a precious thing? Where has he seen it

"This is an auxiliary reinforcement material that is often used in construction." Araunah doesn't seem to find it very strange: "My mother is an architect, although no one in the tribe believes that a woman can be a good architect, But in my mind, my mother is the best architect. She uses these things a lot, so I've seen them since I was a kid."

Ye Ci's saliva will fall out when she hears Arauna's words, God! Should she buy a lottery ticket? Whatever comes to mind? Ye Ci tried her best to restrain the lewd light from her eyes and looked very calm. "Your mother must be very good."

"Of course!" Araunah was still a child anyway, and he was naturally very happy to hear others praise his mother.

Magic crystal... Ye Ci looked at the pile of crystals, and always felt that this thing was so familiar? Had she heard it somewhere, but couldn't remember it.

Suddenly, Ye Ci remembered where he had heard this word... (To be continued)
