Quadruple split.

Chapter 372 Roots
Seeing the rather huge mutant approaching roaringly, and seeing the two girls on its back shouting loudly that they are allies, all the friends present were stunned...

Fortunately, they still abided by the instructions issued by Hei Fan before, and did not shout out the slogans of "XX is above, this evil is worth fighting" or "In the name of XX, these two girls are worth saving", but He quickly made a way out, watching the mutant who had been reduced to a double mount and didn't even know it ran to the depths of the position.

Half a minute later, behind the position

Yuying, who keeps receiving messages from players along the way, is reporting at the same time quickly...

"The target passed the Statue of Dawn, there was no additional reaction, and it continued on its way."

"The target passed by the clergy squad with no extra cover, no additional reaction, and continued to march."

"The target passed the trip wire and fell down. After getting up, there was no additional reaction, and the target continued to move. By the way, Lumu and Robin Weld of the first feeding team were thrown out."

"The target has accumulated a lot of radiant powder, no... no, there was a short hesitation! But it still hasn't stopped, and it's moving on!"

"The target passed the alchemy workshop, and there is no additional reaction. It is continuing to move, and it is almost here!"

There is no problem with her judgment, Luna's mobile alchemy workshop is not far from here, and with the speed of the mutants, it will soon kill here.

Mo Tan nodded lightly, clutching the cross in his hand and muttering in a low voice: "I don't respond to goddess statues with traces of divine power, I don't respond to unprotected important healers, I don't respond to traps that can be seen through at a glance, There is no response to the highly threatening alchemy workshop... Well, it is basically certain that no one is secretly directing them."

"Even so..."

Priest Furman, who was holding the hammer, shook his neck with a 'click, click', turned his head and asked Mo Tan: "Then how should we explain the current situation?"

The latter rubbed his forehead, and after being silent for less than two seconds, he suddenly asked Yu Ying: "Can you determine its final destination?"

"To judge the size, I can only barely understand the situation by eliminating...cough, Crystal."

Yuying immediately gave a dry laugh, shook her head and said, "I can't see the screen, it would be nice to know where the mutant is going. How could I know so carefully?"

"The approximate direction?"

"Our side."

"Understood." Mo Tan took a deep breath, and roughly made up the time when the mutant arrived here, and then said in a deep voice to the people around him: "When the target comes over in a while, don't wait for the target to arrive here, don't attack him before I do it." Attack it, no matter what happens."

Yu Ying, Furman, Yu Chen, Bear Goblin Basaka, and Luna all nodded without asking any more questions.

"Don't worry, things don't seem to be as bad as I thought before."

Mo Tan smiled, and then arranged for everyone to disperse a little bit, keeping a distance on the premise of ensuring that everyone was within each other's field of vision.

A moment later, accompanied by the annoying growl, the tall mutant with dilated pupils, gray skin, and vomiting crazily rushed over from a distance and approached quickly.

[Not Foreman officiate. 】

Mo Tan concentrated on observing the opponent's running route, and immediately judged that the mutant was not interested in the orc chief priest who stood farthest away.

[Not Luna. 】

Luna, who just casually walked out for a certain distance, was also ruled out. Judging from the mutant's current orientation, it should pass by the alchemist girl who was squatting on the ground reading a book. Of course, the possibility of accidents cannot be ruled out... …

Mo Tan, who kept the magic spell ready at any time, waited nervously. A second later, the irrational monster quickly passed by Luna's side without the slightest desire to attack.

And the latter didn't frowned until the other party passed in front of him for a few seconds, covered his nose with the cuff of his robe, and murmured in a low voice: "It really stinks."

Luna didn't care about the high delay, and Motan, who became more and more nervous, continued to rule out...

[Not Barsaka. 】

[Not a feather warbler. 】

【Could it be that……】

"Ow!!"

The mutant let out an extremely unpleasant roar, his tall body shook violently, and stretched out his claw-like right hand to grab Yuchen!
There was a hint of astonishment on Qiao's face, the girl who was half a beat slow in reacting just raised her little hand, and the big hand carrying the stench was already under the hood...

At the same time, two low but penetrating characters suddenly sounded——

"Stop!"

A faint light flashed that was hard to discern with the naked eye, and at the same time as two layers of light shields emerged from Yuchen's side, the mutant's big rancid hand that was about to pat Zhongyuchen's forehead stopped suddenly, and even the body with it froze in place .

【Law barrier】

Holy Optics Active Skill

can grow

Requirements for mastering: Holy Light knowledge level 7, have the profession [discipline priest]

Consumption/limit: 20 mana, 20 stamina, 20 faith

Effect: Create a short-lived invisible barrier at the designated position within 180 meters from the caster, hindering the actions of all units within the range. The cooldown time is [-] seconds.

[Remarks: Take the recipe as an example. In most cases, we will use 200g noodles, 1500ml water, 2g white pepper powder, 100ml white vinegar, 4 eggs, cook on medium heat for 20min, and boil water for 30s. Describe the effect of a skill, but occasionally, we don’t mind using some noodles, adding water, a little white pepper, a little white vinegar, half a bowl of egg liquid (I don’t tell you what kind of bowl it is), and three spoons of cooking wine (Yes, I won’t tell you how big the spoon is), cook on low heat for a while, and pass through boiling water to tell you how to use this skill~]

Law Obstacle, a new skill obtained by Mo Tan some time ago, is like its remarks. All the data except for the cooling time and casting distance are extremely vague. Most of the numerical skills, the effects of law barriers are very abstract, like a classic Chinese home-cooked recipe that allows everyone to make different tastes although the content is exactly the same.

It doesn't even have the content of 'the specific effect depends on XX'.

However, Mo Tan was unable to analyze any rules in his previous use. After several deliberate tests, he found helplessly that the effect was not the same every time he used [Law Obstacle], sometimes sweet and sometimes sweet. Time... Cough, in short, both the specific effect and the coverage area are very random, and it is impossible to summarize any useful rules. Except for the sharp trait of 'no response', it is like learning from a good brother from the country. When it comes to the Six Meridians Excalibur, there is a fight.

But this does not prevent [Law Obstacle] from being an excellent skill, especially when it is performed at a super level!

Mo Tan's panicked and urgent 'stop' unexpectedly made the mutant step on Uncle Niu's coffin board, and froze for more than five seconds in a posture that violated the common sense of physics.

As for why it is 'more than five seconds' instead of 'five seconds', this question is actually very easy to explain...

Because at the fifth second that the mutant was held down by [Law Barrier], a big mace with the emblem of justice printed on it, a roaring armor-piercing steel arrow, and a huge condensate that seriously exceeded the standard The light arrow and another normal-sized but extremely penetrating standard light arrow hit the mutant at the same time, and except for Basaka's upright and overweight light arrow, the other three attacks were rushing. He went with his head, so the unlucky boy died on the spot without making a "quack".

There was an extra hole in the stomach and most of it was missing, and there was no whole body left.

"May your desecrated soul find comfort."

Priest Furman sighed, painted a symbol of justice on the corpse of the once ordinary person, and recited a sentence in a low voice, completely unlike the first person who pounced on him and swung a hammer to open his head. .

Mrs. Basaka, the bear-goblin who can use the power of dawn, clapped her hands cheerfully, and said inarticulately, "May Lu Shen protect the carp."

The emotional female assassin just snorted coolly, then walked to the mutant's remains indifferently, leaned over and pulled out her armor-piercing arrow worth 6 silver coins, and wiped it twice. Afterwards, it was put away again. Since communicating with the big guy who ranked second in the combat power ranking not long ago, this girl seems to be getting more and more courageous, such as recovering arrows from severely decomposed corpses. She can do it all, and she is becoming more and more like a female assassin who really has no emotions.

Well, don't get any money...

And Yu Chen, who seemed to be in crisis but was actually prepared, turned his head and smiled at Mo Tan: "Thank you."

"Uh, it's fine."

Mo Tan, who seemed to be bored just now, replied subconsciously, then looked down at the mutant who was completely dead, and asked in a daze, "Why did you beat it to death?"

Then Yuchen and the others were also stunned.

After several seconds, Yuying looked at Mo Tan inexplicably: "You said it yourself."

Mo Tan blinked: "What did I say?"

"Let's not attack it until you do."

Fuhrman scratched his unshaven chin, shrugged and said, "Then I saw you made a move, so I quickly followed suit."

Mo Tan was shocked: "I didn't do anything! I just yelled."

"that……"

Yu Chen walked up to the former, gently pressed down his arm that was stretched flat on his left side, and said in a low voice, "You did do it."

"..."

The corner of Mo Tan who raised his hand just to put a [Law Shield] on Yu Chen twitched, cursed himself as an idiot, then coughed dryly, and said forcefully: "Actually, what I mean is that before I 'attack'... ...Hey, don't you see that Luna didn't make a move..."

He suddenly lost face for no reason.

In the end, Luna didn't give him face, but slowly raised her little hand, shook the two red gemstones between her fingers, and said seriously: "I only brought this, it will affect Wangyu, so no use."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Mo Tan let out a long sigh, then turned his head and said to Yu Chen seriously: "It is basically certain now, although I don't know why, but this mutant is obviously coming for you, and if I guess correctly, When we were at Doe Hill before, those mutants didn't want to attack the weak point of the defense line, they just wanted to rush to the rear where you are."

Because all the clues are very consistent, it is not difficult to judge this result, but the problem is...

"why?"

Yuying walked up to Yuchen with some confusion, but because there was still an NPC present, she did not 'harass' him as usual, but leaned over and looked at the little puzzled face of the other party: " Although I can see it, but why is it forgotten?"

Priest Fuhrman frowned, and speculated: "Because of the identity of His Highness Wang Yu? After all, she is a saint favored by the gods, and His Highness Xia Lian is not here, so she has become the most 'attractive' one among us." ?”

"No." Luna, who was flipping through the notes, shook her head without raising her head, and said softly: "When Black Fan mentioned Doe Hill, His Royal Highness Xia Lian was there at the time, with me, and There was no attack."

Fuhrman immediately slapped his forehead, and suddenly said: "That's right, so it has nothing to do with the status of the god-favored one?"

Yuchen tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked hesitantly: "Could it be because I'm too weak? Although they are all divinely favored, Sister Xia Lian is different from me. If those mutants attack her If so, they will all be blown away..."

"I don't think it has anything to do with strength."

Mo Tan denied her point of view, staring at the corpse of the mutant and said in a deep voice: "First of all, they obviously haven't improved in terms of intelligence, a mutant who can be easily knocked down by a tripwire shouldn't be able to see that Xia Xia How strong is His Royal Highness Lian, unless they can feel the so-called "strong man's breath", but I personally think this possibility is not very high. Don't forget that in many previous conflicts, especially those under the city of Mida That time, even Her Highness Xia Lian would be attacked by those mutants..."

Everyone nodded slightly, agreeing with his thoughts.

"Could it be because Wangyu has a great effect on us?"

Yu Ying raised her guess again, hammering her palm and said: "Only she can heal so many people infected with the plague in one go, while other priests can only alleviate the effect at best, and only Luna can treat it in alchemy and pharmacy." Only the things made can have a certain effect, and the spells of mages, shamans, and druids are useless at all. I didn’t know about Her Highness Xia Lian’s words before, but she can’t even use divine spells now, so ... At least from the perspective of suppressing the spread of the plague, the role of Wangyu is irreplaceable."

"It's definitely possible, but there are still many details that don't make sense."

Mo Tan seemed to have grasped something vaguely, but he still didn't understand it after all, so he had to pull out a relaxed smile first: "Anyway, I have roughly figured out the mutant's goal and perception distance, let's think about it slowly later, let's It's time to continue, let everyone prepare to speed up the journey, no matter what, first arrive at the White Tower City, and then say, oh yes, keep the food team at a position fifteen kilometers beyond the main force, and send a message back immediately if you encounter a mutant. "

Yuying laughed dryly: "That's not a problem, but Robin Weld and Hua Paoer of the No. [-] Snack Squad apply for a two-day rest, plus mental damage allowance."

"Uh, why?"

"Motion sickness."
