Chapter 271 Arrangements before the war (ask for a monthly ticket, recommended ticket)
Father and son, one in front and one behind, walked through a dense jungle, marched on the soft soil, and trampled on the wide remnants. Gradually, the soil under their feet became hard, and the two began to climb the mountain along the exposed rock slope.
A few minutes later, the two rushed to ten kilometers away. The **** came to an end here, and the surrounding terrain began to open up, with rough rocks on the ground.
Leiter followed the direction of perception, pointed to a thin snake covered with black scales in a crack in the stone, and said, "Tales, go. It is your second opponent. Defeating it will prove your strength." The actual combat level is considered qualified in my eyes, and the test for you is over."
"Really? Father!" Thales said happily, and then looked at the happy face covered in black scales, his heart was eager to try, and a flash of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes!
But he was not careless. Since his father deliberately picked a new opponent, the difficulty must have increased. This battle may not be as easy as solving the violent bear.
"What you say is what you say, go, I'll watch you here." Lei Te nodded, then quietly lost his breath, and slowly backed away.
"good!"
Thales' eyes flickered, he responded, and then cast the second-level dark magic—Shadow Cloak, and his whole body was wrapped in dark elements again, blocking the light and disappearing into the naked eye.
Step by step, he rushed towards the second-level magic beast lying on the ground—the black scaled snake. He stopped when he was close to a hundred meters away, and was about to release a shadow arrow. As a second-level magician, the attack magic currently mastered Only this one.
The air became dark, and a shadow arrow quickly condensed, covering the surface with a layer of faint black mist. It shuttled through the air silently and extremely covertly, and flew towards the monster lying between the rocks.
At the same time, Thales also slowed down, keeping a certain distance from the Black Scaled Snake, with a cautious look on his face.
Hiss
Hiss
The black-scaled snake, which was immersed in sleep, suddenly woke up. With the approach of the dark element, the scales on its body swayed slightly like a mimosa. Suddenly, it shot up, like a black lightning, bringing a gust of icy black wind, swishing towards Thales.
"So fast!"
Thales exclaimed subconsciously, and then he also discovered that the shadow cloak, which was invincible this time, seemed to have failed. The black-scaled snake easily avoided the shadow arrow's sneak attack, and shot directly in its direction, and the stealth effect had no effect on it at all!
At a tense moment, Thales realized that he couldn't dodge at all. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his thoughts were running wildly!
"It's not good, I can only force it. The best defense is to attack." Thales thought of a sentence Tucker said before. He felt a little reckless at the time, but now he thinks it is very reasonable!
Then the dark elements in the air frantically condensed, and a black arrow appeared quickly, carrying a dark breath, stabbing at the black-scaled snake without a sound.
A gloomy look flashed in the eyes of the black scaled snake. Its sharp teeth were turquoise, carrying highly poisonous toxins. Facing the flying arrows, its body twisted at a strange angle in the air, and the snake's skin moved easily to avoid it After shooting from the Shadow Arrow, he shot at Thales with unabated momentum!
There was a sour and fishy smell in the air, which was the body odor of the black scaled snake. Ordinary people would feel uncomfortable for a long time just smelling it.
At this moment, Thales felt completely helpless, and he didn't know how to counterattack. He even thought about twitching his legs and trying to escape, but compared with the black scaled snake, his speed was like a snail, and he could even escape. the extravagant hope.
The black-scaled snake spit out the snake letter, and the monster's instinct made it feel that it had the upper hand. A sense of cruelty welled up in its heart, and the smaller snake's head instantly turned into a pouring mouth!
Tales panicked and had to show his last hole card—yelling loudly: "Father, save me!"
The black-scaled snake, who couldn't understand human language, only thought it was the fearful howl of its prey before it died, so it became even more excited. It flicked its tail frequently in the air, and opened its mouth even wider, as if it wanted to swallow a mountain!
However, silently, a tiny spike in the air formed in front of the black-scaled snake at a high speed, emitting a trembling sound, and with a swish, it slipped into its mouth unexpectedly.
The black-scaled snake was stunned for a moment. The khaki-yellow thin needle appeared and was shot into the mouth at such a fast speed that it didn't realize what was going on at all.
Even Thales was dazed, unable to see clearly what happened just now.
But the next moment—
boom!
A dull explosion sounded, accompanied by shattered flesh and blood, and the black snake scales scattered everywhere like flying flowers and fallen leaves. The scene was **** and tinged with evil horror.
Thales blinked and stared at the front. If you read correctly, the black scaled snake just now... probably blew itself up, right?
Did Father make a move?
How did Father do it?
Doubts kept piling up one by one, and finally turned into an answer—my father is invincible!
Tales patted his chest, heaved a sigh of relief, he just died, he really felt the threat of death at the last moment just now!
"Thales, how did you feel about the battle just now?"
Leiter's voice gradually drifted from behind, stepping on one rock after another, and came to Thales' side.
He patted Thales on the shoulder, and dropped a few black scales on his body for him. After looking at it, he was not hurt by the aftermath of the shock, so he felt relieved. Just now he just used the shocking mystery, attached to the tiny spikes condensed by the earth elements, and dealt with a second-tier monster without any effort at all.
Hearing this question, Thales' face immediately collapsed, and he said in frustration: "Father, am I really bad, and I have almost no power to resist against the Black Scaled Snake of the same level.
Sorry, I didn't meet Father's standards! "
"Do you know what my standard is for you?" Rhett asked with a smile.
"My child, my standard for you is to live well. But it is not easy to do this, because you may face various crises in the future. I hope that even if I am not around, you will have the ability to deal with it alone!" Leiter He smiled and said: "So this standard can be regarded as almost nothing, or it can be regarded as having no upper limit."
Thales was a little confused, looked at his father, and asked: "That is continuous improvement? But how can I improve myself? Take just now, the speed of the black scaled snake just now, I can't avoid it at all, and its reaction is super fast. It's beyond my imagination, I can't hide smoothly, and the shadow arrow attack is also difficult to work."
"Think more, experience more, and summarize more." Leiter thought for a while to give an answer, and then explained: "For example, at the beginning you dealt with a violent bear, and the reason why you were able to kill it smoothly was that It was taken down because it exploited its strengths and circumvented its weaknesses, seized its weaknesses, and took advantage of the hidden advantages of dark magic.
The Black Scaled Snake, which can face the potential of the middle-level bloodline, belongs to the dark magic beast, and has a keen sense of dark elements. Your shadow cloak will be less effective in front of it, so you will expose your position as soon as you come up, and the advantage of dark magic will disappear. .
And you are only a second-level magician. Although you have more magical abilities than a knight, you don't have a lot of fighting methods at the low-level stage. If we encounter a situation where the combat advantage is restrained, we need to make up for it through combat experience and skills, spellcasting level and other aspects. "
Thales thought about it, and said: "I also feel it. As a dark magician, it seems that he is at a low-level stage and is more suitable for investigation, hiding, sneak attack, etc. The frontal combat power is indeed weak. The failure just now, my father wanted to Tell me, in the face of an invincible opponent, do you want to retreat strategically?"
"..."
Leiter caressed his forehead, took a deep breath and said, "Yes, that's right, when facing an opponent whose strength is far superior to yours, and only chasing and killing you, it is very important to preserve your life. But life is long, and there are always difficulties Situations that cannot be avoided, or cannot be avoided, require us to try our best to defeat our opponents!"
Thales frowned, "Then do I have a chance of winning against the Black Scaled Snake?"
"Of course!" Leiter patted Thales on the shoulder heavily: "Child, you have to believe that you are the embodiment of wisdom and strength. You must distinguish the timing of advancing and retreating in battle. You just came up and leaned towards the black scaled snake. You made a mistake." The mistake is too low-level. As a low-level magical beast, the Black Scaled Snake is far less intelligent than humans, so we must make good use of this weakness in battle."
"How to use it? Father, please advise!" Thales asked puzzled.
"Although the black-scaled snake is sensitive to dark elements, it can't perceive every element finely. This is where you can operate." Leiter took a deep look at Thales, and stopped here, intending to Leave some room for thought.
Thales stood where he was, thinking hard all by himself, his eyebrows on his forehead were knit together, and he lowered his head and did not speak.
After a while, seeing that Thales was still frowning and thinking, Leiter shook his head and gave a hint: "Think about the method you used when dealing with the violent earth bear. Why didn't you use it on the black scaled snake?"
"The way to deal with the violent earth bear..." Thales murmured, his eyes gradually flashed with surprise, and soon he suddenly realized, and said, "Father, I have an idea. In the battle, the violent earth bear was once confused by the black mist of the dark element. As a result, it is impossible to capture the trajectory of the Shadow Arrow in time. Do you want me to use the same method to confuse the perception of the Black Scaled Snake?"
"That's right." Lei Te smiled and nodded, and said, "Although it is much more difficult to confuse the Black Scaled Snake than the Violent Bear, but if you don't try, how will you know if you can do it? Even if you can confuse it for a second, It will buy you a lot of opportunities in battle!"
"It makes sense!"
Looking at the body of the Black Scaled Snake, Thales' eyes gradually brightened, he clenched his fists, and said seriously: "I will start practicing after I go back. My next goal is to defeat the Black Scaled Snake of the same rank!"
"Thales, take one step at a time, I am optimistic about you!" Leiter encouraged.
After the instruction from the Shadow Eagle branch was over, Leiter brought Thales to the extraordinary training ground, because the latter yelled that he would not leave until he fully mastered this technique.
Accompanied by the arrival of his lord, the clamor and awe and envy of the transcendents who were practicing in it were naturally inevitable.
Leite randomly picked two people, and after instructing them on some spellcasting issues, he left the extraordinary training ground.
"What? My lord father wants to hunt two hundred third-tier monsters? And only the corpses?"
Administrative Office of Dark Eagle City, Rilai called out in surprise, he stood up from his chair, feeling that his father's request was somewhat inexplicable.
Leiter was facing away from Ruilai at the moment, looking at the people coming and going outside the window, and the houses and buildings, and said: "That's right, our Dark Eagle City is a new city, and we hold some activities to unite people's hearts and improve satisfaction." What's wrong with speed?"
Rui Lai leaned in front of Zhuo, propped himself up with one hand, and said, "Well, what my lord father said is right, indeed, we haven't held any activities in Dark Eagle City. Please give me some guidance from my lord father. "
"It's very simple, just buy it at double the price, only for Tier 3 corpses, and the time is limited to three days." Leiter made a request.
"No problem, I will find someone to draw up a notice and put it on the notice board in the central square." Although feeling that his father's request was a bit abrupt, it was not worth mentioning to the wealthy Dark Eagle City, so Ruilai nodded Should come down.
Rilei looked at the empty cup in his father's hand and said, "Do you need another cup of tea, Father?"
"That's right, is there any Blue Mountain fruit tea?"
"Of course, Carlton sends me a regular gift every month, so I'll make it for you!"
Listening to the whining of tea, Leiter looked up at the blue sky, and asked suddenly: "Rui Lai, how far has your mental strength reached, and how long is it before you reach the peak?"
"Last winter, Nina's awakening helped me reach the late stage. But another year of practice, plus Nina's awakening in winter, may help me push to the peak." Rilai thought for a while and said.
Leite frowned slightly: "Is there enough Moonlight potion? Don't begrudge the resources, and strive to reach the peak of the third level this winter!"
"I will try my best, Father!"
Leaving Dark Eagle City, Leiter went to the Alchemy Tower without stopping.
A certain alchemy room on the third floor.
"Philos, the temperature of the flame must be kept constant. You haven't done enough in this area, you need to work harder!" Facing a bronze-colored furnace, Maruna said slowly, staring at the beating hot flames.
On the other side of the furnace, Philos was dripping with sweat on his forehead, and he was using his mental power to continuously condense the flames. Moreover, unlike blacksmiths, the flames were controlled by the outside world, and the temperature accuracy was not high. It mainly relied on forging efforts. Philos passed The guidance of Maruna, the middle-level alchemy equipment master, is controlling the flames to change constantly, sometimes like a spreading shot, sometimes like a flame drill, changing in many ways, but no matter how they change, they strictly follow a certain route, Burning against a magic wand, leaving complex lines.
Hearing the instructor's evaluation, Philos became more serious, and the color of the flame stopped shaking and gradually stabilized. A smile gradually appeared on Maruna's face, he had improved a lot compared to last time, and if he improved a bit, he would be able to become a formal alchemy equipment master!
