"Success." I clenched my fist and walked forward.
If the arrowhead had not been stuck in the mechanism in the hole, it would have exploded as soon as he stepped into the killing range, and he would not have been able to dig up the surrounding soil so easily and take out the entire blood sand trap.
Blood Sand Trap
Type: Special Item-Trap
Use level: None
Range: 15 yards radius circular area with itself as the center
Effect: After placing the item on the ground, once a hostile creature enters the detonation range, the item will automatically detonate, causing blood sand confinement and armor weakening effects on all hostile creatures within the range, with a lethality of 5000.
Even if the armor is ignored, the lethality of 5000 is a nightmare for all tank professions at this stage, not to mention the subsequent series of powerful negative effects. If used well, it is definitely a powerful weapon.
Perhaps it was the luck at the beginning that worked, and I was able to successfully dismantle the other two blood sand traps without triggering the mechanism.
But good luck often cannot last forever.
Chapter 74: Medicine Formula
Just as he aimed at the tip of the fourth blood sand trap and shot the crossbow arrow, a light breeze suddenly blew around him.
Although it was faint, it did affect the trajectory of the arrow, and it hit the ground around the tip with a thud.
Oops.
Seeing that the blood sand trap was about to explode, I moved my mind, and while retreating, I raised the crossbow in my hand and shot an arrow towards the farthest blood sand trap.
Just when the blood sand erupting from the surface was about to envelop me, I decisively used the skill of instant step, using the brief invincibility effect to avoid this violent attack.
The noise of the two blood sand traps being detonated naturally attracted several teams of the Black Hill Clans, who began searching in all directions with this area as the center.
Fortunately, I had already hidden around the tent and avoided the search of the Black Hill Clans with my high concealment properties.
After the members of the Black Hill Clan found no trace and shook their heads and dispersed, I slowly groped forward.
However, because of the noise he had made earlier, there were a lot more people from the Black Hill Clan wandering around, and it took some effort and time to get close to the central area.
In that slightly open space, dozens of wizards and witch doctors gathered, and there were many Black Hill warriors and warriors patrolling around. Near the largest red-roofed tent, a tall figure was very conspicuous.
He was wearing a yellow and white cloth robe, had dark skin, and had strange patterns tattooed on his exposed arms. There were a few terrifying skulls hanging on the long staff in his hand.
The fireweed required for his mission was planted only four or five yards away.
I used insight on it and it turned out to be the BOSS.
Blood Sacrifice [Boss]: Level 75, HP: 300000/300000
This leader must be lured to a suitable location first, but in this situation he obviously cannot show up yet, otherwise he will be surrounded by the nearby Black Hill Clan before he can get close.
After looking around, I chose to pass through the paths between the surrounding tents to bypass the patrolling Black Hill Clan and approached the area behind the evil blood priest.
It seemed that he could sense some unusual aura. When I got closer, the evil blood priest became more and more restless.
"They are very vigilant," I thought to myself. Just when I was about to get closer before taking any action, I noticed a dozen members of the Black Hill Clan patrolling from both sides.
If they were exposed, they would be attacked by the evil blood priest and the Black Hill clans at the same time, which would obviously not be a good thing.
I was just about to step back when I accidentally caught a glimpse of the red-roofed tent next to me. I immediately hid inside it.
Ordinary members of the Black Hill Clans would not enter the tent, especially this red-roofed tent which looked like it was the residence of the evil blood priest. He could completely wait for the two teams of the Black Hill Clans to leave before taking any action.
However, this was not the main reason why he chose to enter the tent, but because he suddenly thought of something just now -
In the previous life, some players would occasionally find some good things in the tents of these desert clans.
Although not every tent has benefits to offer, that is only for ordinary tents. After all, the residence of the evil blood priest is always a little special, isn't it?
With this thought in mind, I rummaged around in this slightly messy tent and found some good items.
A dark gold-level warrior gauntlet, some rare herbs, and some potion recipes, including a life corrosion potion recipe and a primary compound potion recipe.
The former adds a certain amount of toxic damage to itself, and at the same time makes the next attack have a special corrosion effect on the enemy, which can gradually deduct up to 100% of the enemy's maximum health limit within ten seconds.
Although it cannot be used against BOSS-type creatures, and it can only take effect once per monster in five minutes, it is a good way to deal with monsters or elites with high defense and high health.
However, the functional effects described above cannot be compared with the hidden effects, because this potion can be said to be the best formula for pharmacists below the intermediate level to gain proficiency.
Not only can each successful bottle of Life Corrosion Potion gain more proficiency than ordinary intermediate potions, but the raw materials are also easy to find. Most swamp areas above level 60 will produce it. A strong team of players can get at least dozens of copies in one trip, so Life Corrosion Potion is very popular among junior pharmacists.
"It just so happens that Sister Chang'an and her friends are also going to strive to become intermediate pharmacists soon." I thought about it, and suddenly a gloating arc appeared on the corner of my mouth. "Oh, right, let's put this formula on the auction. The pharmacists in those guilds must have reached the same critical juncture as Sister Chang'an."
Although he has his own resources to support him, Yue Changan's current secondary occupation level is ranked first in the empire, which is also related to the task he asked Cuisi to arrange at the beginning.
Players who accepted the mission and became entry-level pharmacists naturally became the main source of medicine logistics in their respective guilds. Under such internal competition, some ordinary pharmacists naturally could not compete with them for medicinal herb materials.
As for the pharmacists who had obtained enough resources, their proficiency after being promoted to junior pharmacists was greatly reduced due to the defects in Cuisi's teaching. However, since this was the case within their own guild and other guilds, they did not notice anything unusual.
"Those guilds will definitely spend a lot of money to buy these people out in order to upgrade them to intermediate pharmacists. I wonder what the management will look like if they see these people stuck at a bottleneck and unable to break through."
I smiled slightly, revealing my cute fangs.
If I get angry and kick these pharmacists out, I can actually gain some advantages for free, after all, some of them still have talents.
Besides, this bottleneck is not unsolvable. As long as Cuisi reaches the master level and teaches again, the problem will be solved. With Cuisi's current progress, it will only take another one or two months.
By then, when those people are asked by me to be taken in by Sister Yue Changan, they will probably be very touched.
Although there is only one picture left for Sister Changan to use, it can also be solved with the help of cartographer Darrens.
However, now is not the right time to talk about these things. Let’s talk about them later.
As for the primary compound potion, although in my opinion its effect is not as great as the former, it is also very precious because the compound potion can restore health and magic at the same time, and the cooling time is calculated separately from the two, which can often save lives in certain situations.
Moreover, most of the materials needed are the same as those for intermediate health and magic potions, and are not difficult to obtain. You can even mix these two bottles of potions together to make a primary compound potion, but there is a high chance of failure.
"The harvest is quite rich." Looking at the items I collected in the backpack, I couldn't help but smile slightly, although it mainly provided me with a train of thought and ideas.
Era is a game with a high degree of freedom, and in many aspects it rewards you for using unconventional methods. If a normal guild brings a group here, they can also destroy the clan gathering place and get these things in the tent.
But losses are inevitable. If you act alone like me, there will be unexpected results.
After checking that there was nothing around, I had no intention of staying any longer. After all, Sister Shuiyan and Sister Yueya were still outside waiting for news from me.
Chapter 75: Blood Sacrifice
Seeing that the patrolling Black Hill Clan had disappeared, I quietly left the tent and looked at the evil blood priest wandering not far away. After getting close enough to a distance that I thought would attract the attention of many clans around, I took out my crossbow.
Load, fire, and run.
The whole action was done in one go without any hesitation.
The crossbow arrow drew a sharp straight line in the air and instantly pierced into the back of the evil blood priest, but it did not penetrate completely.
As a level 75 boss, the Evil Blood Priest naturally has higher defense than ordinary monsters. This ordinary crossbow arrow broke the moment it touched the Evil Blood Priest, and only caused single-digit damage.
However, even so, it attracted the attention of the evil blood priest. After turning around and seeing the petite figure fleeing the scene, he suddenly became furious, and while quickly chasing after her, a lot of gibberish came out of his mouth.
The thirty or so members of the Black Hill clan nearby seemed to have received an order and followed the evil blood priest in pursuit.
But the number of people is still a little small. Because I had observed it in advance, I deliberately detoured for a distance in this area and followed a specific trajectory. At the cost of suffering some damage, I attracted dozens of clans again.
It is obviously not an easy task to attract so many monsters to follow, but fortunately I have various special props, such as muddy swamp and magic scrolls of group slowdown. The movements of those Black Hill clans were immediately slowed down by several beats.
Even when I led these Black Hill Clans towards the southwest, I was still not satisfied.
After activating the magic immunity stripped from the Energy Fluid Ring, he absorbed the magic of the wizard and witch doctor behind him, while using a crossbow to shoot arrows at the Black Hill Clan in the distance while moving.
This attracted the attention of the clan on one side.
But before I raised my crossbow again, the corner of my eye suddenly caught a glimpse of the black light on the staff of the Black Blood Priest behind me.
Danger.
The moment the magic immunity effect disappeared, a strong sense of crisis suddenly enveloped me. I propped my arms up and rolled on the ground to avoid most of the wizards' magic. Then I saw the black light of the Black Blood Priest coming towards me.
I quickly used the invincibility of Flash Step to parry it.
However, I was still half a beat too slow. An invisible black shadow enveloped me, causing my movements to become sluggish, just like those of the Black Hill Clan who were being slowed down.
At the same time, the health bar above his head suddenly dropped below 10%.
With the bonus of the full set of dark gold suits and passive skills, my current defense can actually compete with some ordinary warrior players. This shows that the attack of the Black Blood Priest is powerful.
"This is really difficult." I used the purification effect of the suit to remove the sluggishness, and drank the instant recovery potion to restore 60% of my health. I no longer dared to be careless, and I accelerated my pace, leading the Black Hill clan members including the Black Blood Priest behind me straight to the destination.
In the southwest of the center of the gathering place, there seems to be a very open place used by the Black Hill Clan for training. Dozens of iron racks with weapons can be seen, and in the center of the open space stands a slender flag, fluttering in the wind.
When we entered this open space, I told Sister Yueya and the others in the channel, "Avoid the BOSS, and start attacking."
On the stone hill next to the gathering place, Yueya Wanwan and others, who saw the situation clearly, knew what to do without my instructions. They chanted magic spells one after another, and the various elements around them instantly became more dense.
The gathering of elements naturally requires an outlet, so those members of the Black Hill clan who were located below the stone hill and stepped into the training square, which was within the best attack range of Yueya Wanwan and the others, suffered.
When they saw the cute figure in front of them, which was privately called a mascot by all the elite groups of Rose Heart, being attacked, all the magic professions and shooters naturally used their most powerful attacks.
Frost Aria, Flame Tornado, Extreme Shadow Thorn, and other high-damage skills fell on the heads of the Black Hill Clan.
Boom boom boom.
Along with a loud noise, the dozen or so Black Hill Warriors and Black Hill Warriors following behind me were instantly overwhelmed by magic. Even with their relatively strong defense, they could not withstand such an attack and returned to the embrace of the desert in just ten seconds.
When they were attacked, the Black Hill Clan, which was affected by the magic, noticed the enemy on top and immediately launched a counterattack. However, whether it was the Black Hill wizards or the Black Hill witch doctors, the black magic they usually relied on was all useless and could not touch Yueya Wanwan and others at all.
Due to the limitation of attack distance, even with the low intelligence of these Black Hill clans, they knew it was not appropriate to start a war here.
However, just when they wanted to leave the square, Shiyan, under my instructions, arrived with a group of front-row people and blocked their retreat.
Yueya Wanwan took out a scroll of documents from her backpack.
As several familiar groups of syllables fell, dozens of protruding stone spikes suddenly rose in the center of the square.
They used local magic to create earth walls, rock barriers and ground sinkholes. In this desert terrain, their disruptive effect was far greater than that of other mages.
With these created terrains separating them, those in the front row would only face attacks from four or five members of the Black Hill Clan at the same time. With the protection of the Paladin and the treatment of the Priest, they would not pose much of a threat.
Moreover, unlike the Divine Rock Grip performed by another local magician before, under the special manipulation of Crescent Moon, the lethality was greatly reduced and the duration of the skill was increased, with a full ten-minute gap. This is also the charm of temple magic.
The elite group of thieves shuttled around the square, responsible for attracting the hatred of the elites, while the warlock controlled the situation, providing enough control and negative effects that weakened the defense.
The division of labor is clear and orderly.
While they were doing their respective duties, I was naturally not idle either. My main task was of course to attract the hatred of the evil blood priest in front of me. I had previously deliberately arranged for Yueya Wanwan and the others to avoid the boss's attacks on other monsters, so the hatred of the evil blood priest was still locked on me.
Even though I saw unusual movements around me, because the hatred chain mechanism showed some signs of shifting to the front row such as Shisha, it was shifted again under my close attack.
However, it is not an easy task to hold back a boss that is more than ten levels higher than me, even for me who has top-notch equipment.
"Damned stranger, you will pay the price for blaspheming the will of Black Hill."
The evil blood priest, angered by my repeated harassment, actually uttered ordinary language. Although it was stuttering and stiff, it was enough to hear the other party's extreme anger.
As soon as I finished speaking, I wanted to step forward and get involved in the situation, but I suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
Looking at the Black Blood Priest again, I don't know when he had raised the staff in his hand, and suddenly a strange red light appeared in the empty pupils of the three skulls, and they all shot towards me.
I subconsciously dodged to the side, but the three skulls locked onto me again as if they had life.
Oops, is it a magic that locks on to the target?
Just as I was thinking this, a red light suddenly shot out from the pupil of one of the skulls.
Instant step.
Fortunately, I was able to dodge it narrowly with my reaction and the invincibility of my instant step. Just looking at the large amount of gravel that turned to ashes behind me, I could tell how terrifying this attack was. I guess even Sister Shuiyan couldn't take it a few times.
But now is obviously not the time to think about this.
The red light from the two remaining skulls in front of me became increasingly intense as I subconsciously glanced behind me, almost as if it would melt me in the next instant.
Chapter 76: Confrontation
The energy fluid skill is still on cooldown, and the instant step that can take advantage of the invincibility feature has just been used. Moreover, it is estimated that even if the Quick Sketch Record of All Things is used, it will not be enough to cope with it.
Because there are two skulls attacking in front, and it is obvious that the damage becomes stronger as time goes by.
My mind was racing with thoughts, and when my eyes caught sight of the empty eyes of the two skulls, a flash of inspiration came to my mind subconsciously.
correct.
It seems like you take a long time to think, but in fact it all happens in an instant.
