System prompt: Kill a jackal patrol soldier above your level. Taking other factors into account, you will gain 18000 experience points.
……
Just like the damage numbers that appeared above the heads of those gnolls, a series of system prompts also appeared in the lower right corner.
The experience brought by it was like a tide, which pushed his experience bar to rise rapidly, from about 65% at level 13 to 99.9% in one fell swoop.
I also didn't expect that this mission would have such a hidden benefit. By using the explosives provided by Carl to destroy the group of monsters, the experience points would be counted to myself in the end.
Although there was a loss of more than 60% due to restrictions, the cross-level bonus also offset a considerable part of it.
There were at least several hundred jackals buried in the sea of fire, and at the call of the Jackal Leader, even though they knew the raging sea of fire ahead, many jackal monsters still rushed in like moths to a flame.
If it were given to ordinary players, this would allow them to at least level up by two or three levels, which would directly save them several days of hard leveling time. It's a pity that I am now borrowing the ability of the template, so these experiences are naturally wasted.
Although the Shadow Hunter is characterized by high burst and a long vacuum period after the burst.
However, as an elite, Novia naturally has her own unique strengths. She uses her superb skills and agility to roam among the monsters and constantly delay the pace of those elite bosses. During this period, she even killed two boss-level jackal overseers in succession.
That's the charm of a thief.
Looking at Novia's slender figure who used her body movements and skills to weave through numerous attacks without showing any injury, I couldn't help but feel my blood boiling.
But it's just a thought in my mind. I don't think my small body of level 63 can withstand a few hits from those gnolls.
Eventually, he was forced by "life" to quietly change into his original occupation, the Dark Word Mage, and inflicted various negative effects and outputs on the Wolf Lord who was trapped below.
With Novia holding back the elite leader, Carl used explosives and fuel bottles to create a sea of fire to hinder the jackal archers and crossbowmen in the distance.
Jarvan occupied a high position on the platform, and it seemed particularly easy for him to use the relatively narrow steps to block the melee gnolls below. He didn't even need Lillian's treatment, and was able to absorb all the damage with his own paladin's healing skills.
The surrounding werewolf monsters were not feeling well, and the same was true for the Jackal Leader on the other side, who was trapped between the mechanical puppets made by the warriors Quinton and Carl.
The sharp claws could only scratch a few conspicuous marks on Quinton's sturdy armor and the puppet's alloy shell, and could not play a big role. However, Quinton's broadsword and the puppet's hand cannon could often cause it a lot of trouble.
In addition, with Nar ready to fight next to him, and with Brandi's command, he would always find the opportunity to use his sharp claws to leave some small wounds on the body of the jackal leader.
At the critical moment, he was able to gain the support of Brandi's skills and engage in a head-on confrontation with the Jackal Leader, allowing Quinton and the puppet to retreat to the side for a chance to recuperate, and then re-enter the game under Lillian's full treatment.
But these are just minor troubles. After all, as a level 90 leader close to the level of command, the Jackal Lord has excellent physical defense. The damage caused by Quinton, Golem and Gnar only causes a little damage.
What really made the Jackal Chief angry was that at the entrance of the passage above his head, Aurianna was holding up her staff and chanting magic spells continuously. With the powerful magic damage of an arcane mage, every offensive magic would reduce his health.
It really hurts it.
However, every time he tried to attack, he would be intercepted by Quinton and his men, and occasionally blocked by the arcane barriers released by Orianna. He roared in frustration.
"Roar!"
Just like at this moment after the passage of time, the jackal leader, with various wounds all over his body, howled to the sky.
However, compared with the previous roar, this one was a little different. It was more shocking, like an explosive exploding next to the eardrum.
Along with this roar, the dense hair of the jackal leader changed from brown to a faint blood-red.
Noticing the appearance of the Jackal Leader, Carl immediately became alert and warned, "Be careful, it may have a killer move."
Quinton, Nar, and Brandi were also on guard, and together with the mechanical puppet controlled by Carl, they took a defensive stance and did not take the initiative to attack.
Even Aurianna stopped chanting her arcane attack spells, raised her hands and cast three arcane barriers in succession, covering her, Carl, Brandi, and me for defense, and only then did she feel relieved.
But just as she felt relieved, something unexpected happened below.
The jackal leader's body suddenly grew larger, and he burst out with a force twice as strong as before. His strong arms stretched out around him, sweeping away Quinton, Nar, and the puppets that were entangled with him.
"Oops."
Noticing something strange behind him, Garen subconsciously turned his head and noticed that the Jackal Leader on the high platform behind him swept away the melee defense and aimed his wolf-like fierce eyes at the top of the passage.
However, just when he was about to relax the defense here and prepare to return to defense, he suddenly froze.
Or rather, not just him, but everyone else, even I, was dumbfounded after seeing the Jackal Leader's subsequent actions.
……
……
I went out to eat with my classmates, so I’ll update alone today. I’ll also update alone tomorrow when I go to get the vaccine.
Chapter 109: The Returning Group of Monsters
After sweeping away all the troublemakers around, the jackal leader turned his head and scanned the direction of the high passage with his sharp wolf eyes.
The hair on its body stood up, and there was a hint of explosive power. Its thick hind legs were gathering strength, as if it would be able to leap up and pounce on its prey in the next moment and tear their throats with its most proud claws.
However, this ferocious and cruel image was completely destroyed by its own actions the next moment.
"Roar."
After howling as if to vent his anger, the jackal leader took a few steps back and then jumped out of the gap in the encirclement he had torn open earlier, soaring horizontally and vertically on the nearby stone pillars, and disappeared in the distance of the cave in the blink of an eye.
"..."
Use the most ferocious expression to do the most cowardly actions.
Faced with the performance of the Jackal Leader, even I was speechless. Although I know that high-level and high-ranking BOSSes will behave in a humane way, isn't this kind of behavior of deserting the battlefield a little too humane?
But when I think about the descriptions of monsters like gnolls in the Anno, which are often characterized by bullying the weak and fearing the strong, I seem to feel relieved.
After the jackal leader fled from the battlefield, the jackal miners in the cave naturally became panicked.
Some timid jackals were originally restrained by the intimidation of the Jackal Leader, so they dared to cross the sea of fire and attack high-level elite NPCs like Brandi.
At this moment, after the commander-in-chief escaped and lost his backbone, only fear was left in his mind. He made a sharp sound and fled to the surrounding tunnels.
Like a flood that broke a dam, other jackals followed suit. Even the jackal supervisors and patrolmen fled in all directions when they saw the situation was not good.
In just a few minutes, most of the werewolf monsters in the cave escaped. As for the remaining small half, they either fell in the raging sea of fire or were killed by Brandi and others who reacted quickly.
"These grandchildren escaped really quickly."
Swinging the greatsword to take the life of the last werewolf, Quinton looked at the fleeing figures gradually disappearing in the tunnel in the distance and couldn't help smacking his lips.
"That jackal leader is such a wimp. I was planning to have a good fight with him."
"I just hope everyone is safe." Jarvan put away his shield.
"Thanks to Miss Yitong's plan, we were able to do so smoothly."
Brandi said with emotion, and also called Nar back, reaching out to straighten the hair on his forehead. Nar was very obedient and enjoyed Brandi's touch, and even licked the palm of his hand with his tongue.
"Indeed, I thought there would be a fierce battle." Novia jumped up from the bottom of the platform with a few light steps and landed steadily. Although she had wiped the blood off the dagger, she could still smell a strong smell of blood.
It is obvious that there are dozens of leaders and elites who have fallen to the enemy.
Faced with everyone's praise, I couldn't help but stick out my tongue and be modest, but I knew in my heart that the evaluation of my task was probably perfect.
But for some reason, I still had a vague sense of foreboding.
"Is it an illusion? I always feel that this mission won't be that easy."
I shook my head, threw away this distracting thought, and followed Brandi and others back into the stone chamber.
The escape of the Jackal Leader meant that there were no more worries. Brandi and the others naturally did not have to worry about the trouble that would be caused by triggering it. They asked Aureliana to open the arcane space and put the sarcophagus into it.
Although the existence of arcane space makes it easier for arcane mages to carry heavy objects, the price they pay is a partial loss of combat capability, and they are unable to use teleportation magic.
So Brandi and the others needed to cover Aureliana as she returned along the original route.
This is also the reason why Jarvan rejected Brandi before.
Fortunately, the monsters encountered on the road were nothing compared to the situation in the previous cave, and they were easily dealt with by Brandi and other elites. There was no need for everyone to take action. Novia, who was lurking around, dealt with all the dangers around.
As if they had already assumed that the mission had been accomplished, everyone was talking and laughing along the way. Brandi also told us some things about his grandfather and his habits, such as how he would keep valuables in the same place.
I was stunned for a moment, and vaguely thought of something.
However, before I could think carefully, Novia, who was wandering beside the team, suddenly noticed something strange, and her figure disappeared into the air, reappearing after a moment.
Before Brandi and the others could ask curiously, Novia said nervously, "Oh no, that monster is catching up with us again."
"monster?"
Novia calmed down her slightly rapid breathing, but still couldn't calm down the worry in her tone, "The jackal leader is chasing us, and he has many men with him."
Everyone finally understood, or rather, it was not just through Novia's words, but also because the next moment there was a sudden and increasingly obvious vibration coming from the ground.
Looking towards the distance of the cave behind him, a familiar and extremely oppressive tall figure appeared. It was the jackal leader.
Behind him were the jackal overseers, patrolmen and miners who had escaped earlier. Although their number was much less than before, they still looked like a tide at this moment.
Led by the jackal leader, they rushed towards us violently.
"Hey, this cunning guy, did he deliberately deceive us before?" Pastor Lillian took a breath.
Not only her, but others also reacted. They realized that the enemy had only retreated temporarily, and would surround them with their remaining men after they lost the advantage of terrain.
Such wisdom even surprised me, and at the same time confirmed my own thoughts.
Just as I thought, this task is not that simple.
As the calmest commander in the team, Jia Wen immediately made arrangements. "Our team's speed cannot match that of these monsters. Go to the stone platform in front to defend and use these stones as cover."
Everyone immediately did as they were told. Before the jackals surrounded them, some people in the back row, including Brandi, Carl, and others, climbed onto the nearest high stone platform. The others surrounded the platform and tried to shrink the defense circle as much as possible.
"Hooho."
Seeing Brandi and others who were trying to replicate the previous situation in the cave in the distance, the Jackal Leader bared his teeth in disdain, waved his hand, and the group of jackals behind him pounced on them with howls.
The jackal leader's disdain was natural, because even with the stone platform as terrain, it was ultimately not as advantageous as the high platform in the previous cave.
The mechanical puppets controlled by Quinton, Garen, Gnar and Carl below had a hard time dealing with the surrounding jackals.
Even if you block the pickaxes and swords of miners and patrolmen, crossbows attacking from a distance will always leave conspicuous marks on armor, body or mechanical surfaces.
Or maybe he could break through their defenses and launch his attack onto the stone platform, forcing Orianna to summon arcane barriers and arcane barriers in succession to block everyone in the gaps between casting arcane group attack spells.
……
……
I just saw the news yesterday. My friends in Henan hope they are safe and sound.
Chapter 110: Spirit of Contract
Even so, the situation did not seem to improve at all, because even though they used attacks and magic to repel the group of werewolf monsters in front of them, the opposite side pressed forward again.
Even under the command of the jackal overseer, they actually knew how to cooperate with each other. When the health of the jackals dropped to a certain level after being attacked by everyone, they would retreat from the front in time to let the jackals behind take over.
It seemed as if he was going to engage in a war of attrition with everyone.
The gnolls have the advantage in numbers and can afford to consume the enemy, but they simply can't outlast them.
What's more, there was the Jackal Leader watching closely from a distance, hiding in the dark from time to time, inflicting heavy damage on Jarvan and others below. Only with Lillian's full treatment was there any way to avoid a gap in the defense circle.
But now the situation has become more critical.
"I don't have many props prepared."
Carl spoke in a deep voice as he threw the explosives in his hand, and together with the fuel bottle he had thrown earlier, he reignited the gradually extinguishing sea of fire, isolating the jackals from other directions from approaching.
If there was no sea of fire to block the way, it would undoubtedly be more difficult for Garen and others to defend below.
But the explosives and fuel bottles just thrown were the last ones in Carl's hands. Although he had other props prepared for this, those props would not last long to deal with so many jackals.
"My magic power is running low."
Aureliana gritted her teeth and said the same thing.
Although Lillian didn't say anything and silently insisted on blessing and treating Garen and others below, it could be seen from the fine beads of sweat on her pretty face that she was at the end of her strength.
Brandi looked at the exhausted bodies of his companions around him, and then looked at Nar, who had several more scars on his body but was still trying his best to block the many gnolls in front of him, and suddenly spoke out.
"Oliana, release Nobus's sarcophagus. Let's teleport away from here."
"!?"
Not only Aureliana, but everyone else was also shocked when they heard this. Fortunately, they reacted in time and did not allow a gap to appear in the defense circle.
Instead, Orianna expressed her doubts on her behalf, "What are you talking about, Brandi? Isn't it all we worked so hard to bring back Nobbs' body?"
"But your safety is more important now. I can't put you in danger just for my own sake." Brandi gritted her teeth.
"Don't talk nonsense. We can still hold on. Maybe we can see a turnaround."
