Chapter 230 Fear of natural enemies
"Hehe, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" The Chimera landed, and the man in black stood firmly on the dragon's back, condescending and arrogant.
The old wizard in white robe next to him closed his eyes and meditated. He didn't even take out his wand, as if he didn't bother to make a move.
The two stopped the airborne team together, but they didn't act in a hurry. Only the man in black tapped his wand twice in midair.
A few seconds later, nearly a hundred wizards came from the surrounding forest and surrounded the airborne team.
The surrounded people hurriedly raised their weapons to be vigilant.
Jiuyou looked at the large number of wizards pouring out of the surroundings, but he didn't show too much anxiety. Instead, he quietly took out the words and talked inside: "The target appears, act according to the third plan!"
"receive!"
A vague voice came from the opposite side of the reading, and the messenger on the pumice stone immediately transmitted the message back to the earth.
For such a large-scale mission, they naturally made various plans before they started to act, including the situation that they were intercepted by legendary masters before they approached the Arcane Tower.
The plan they prepared at this time is the so-called third plan: the main attacking team becomes a feint attack, and they will hold back this group of people, and then let the auxiliary players who boarded the ship before enter the city as the main attacking team to continue to attack the wizard tower.
The Wizarding Association is known as the ten elders, but not all of the ten elders are concentrated in the Laner Empire. The influence of the wizard association spread throughout the entire star spirit world, and because of this, the power of their heads was greatly dispersed.
Among the ten elders, only four usually guard the headquarters of the Wizards Association in the Laner Empire, and the other five are scattered in other countries in the astral world.
The last person left is also a special elder, the man in black, who guards an important secret place on the western border all the year round, and this secret place is the focus of the organization behind Shenfeng, which has competed with the Wizards Association in recent years.
During this period of time, in order to cooperate with the fools' tower push, Shenfeng and the organization behind it greatly increased their competition for the secret realm, which resulted in the Wizards Association headquarters having to assign two more elders to check and balance.
In this way, there are only two elders left in the imperial capital, one is the one in white and the other is the one in green.
According to the information sent by Shenfeng, the person in Tsing Yi is a junior who has just been promoted to the legend for less than half a year.
Now that the white-clothed people have appeared and brought out a large number of wizards, the defense of the wizard tower is naturally very empty at this moment.
So now the task of Jiuyou and others has become to hold back this group of people and create opportunities for the group of players who boarded the ship to attack the wizard tower.
Although those players are basically mid-level players, their strength is far inferior to them, but the advantage is that there are enough people. Cooperating with ordinary people who are constantly creating chaos on the periphery, there may not be no chance to break the tower.
"Action!"
Jiuyou gave an order, and everyone who had been preparing for a long time immediately took action and launched an attack on the surrounding wizards.
And the wizards also seemed to have guessed their actions a long time ago, they put up their protective shields one after another, and counterattacked magic one by one.
Under the bombardment of the two sides, the cemetery was suddenly shrouded in brilliant magic light and shadow.
Amidst the chaos, many attacks floated towards the man in white on the opposite side under the cover of light and shadow.
The man in white finally opened his eyes at this time, raised his old palm, and a crutch automatically appeared in his hand, accompanied by a huge magic shield.
The attacks flying towards him in all directions were all intercepted by the transparent shield without causing any waves.
Immediately, the white-clothed man pointed out his cane in the air, and a dazzling electric ball formed instantly on the tip of the cane, split into five parts, and hit the five people who attacked him just now.
Lightning passed through the battlefield at a speed that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye. Three of the five locked people were killed instantly, and the only two people who survived were Jiuyou and Bluebeard, the two leaders who had just completed their evolution.
But even for them, the original full health value bottomed out in an instant. The two of them and the treatment team in the rear were shocked, and they hurriedly used several healing magic blessings to stabilize the blood line of the two of them.
Jiuyou's eyelids twitched, what kind of harm is this?
What the white-clothed people used just now is just the most common forked lightning. Even if the opponent has high intelligence and equipment bonuses, the total damage will not exceed 1000 points. Eight thousand points of damage!
If it weren't for Jiuyou's emphasis on physical fitness, and his HP was over 10,000, even he would have been killed in a single blow just now!
1,000 points of spells, but caused 8,000 points of damage, an eightfold increase!
But he and the white-clothed person only have one level of suppression, and the normal power should be doubled... In other words, the remaining damage comes from the evolution potion!
The effect of suppressing the buff at each level is to double the damage and halve the damage.
However, if a high-quality evolution potion is used in the evolution, this effect can be amplified, the power can be increased by up to 100%, and the damage reduction can be reduced by up to 50%.
That is to say, if a certain layer is fully evolved, the quality of the potion is full, then the effect of the final stage suppression buff will be: cause four times the damage, and only receive 25% of the damage!
And this additional effect is that the step buffs of each evolution are independent of each other and can be superimposed, and they are still multiplicative.
At low and middle levels, because the number of bottles required for evolution is small, the hints brought by the quality of potions are not obvious. The 5% to 10% more damage between the same level will not cause qualitative changes. I don't care.
But when the level is high enough, especially above the high level, when you need to take dozens of bottles of evolution potions every time, the gap between taking ordinary evolution potions and high-quality evolution potions will become very obvious!
Just like right now, although Jiuyou and Bluebeard are the top players on Earth, they are not yet extravagant enough to choose the quality of evolution medicine.
They evolved all the way, and they basically took common-level evolution potions, and occasionally some black iron-level potions. In terms of the extra attributes provided by the evolution potions, they even had negative values.
And the white-clothed man in front of him, as the leader of the Wizarding Association, is an old antique who has lived for thousands of years. Naturally, he will not lack high-quality evolution potions. On his way to upgrade, the quality of evolution potions must be raised as much as possible. After stacking, this has caused the current disparity.
Wanting to understand this, Jiuyou and Lan Huzi looked at each other, seeing the bitterness in each other's eyes.
too difficult!
Originally, their plan was to rely on the two epic players to join forces to entangle the man in white.
As long as the white clothes are excluded, the average level of the other wizards present is actually not much better than theirs, at least there is a chance to fight.
However, it now appears that they still underestimated the strength of these wizard association old antiques. Let alone the two of them, even if there are more than 90 people present, it may not be enough for the white-clothed person to fight alone!
Now Jiuyou only hopes that the people in the green clothes in the wizard tower over there will not be so perverted, and other people can also work harder, relying on the number of people to crush the tower smoothly...
However, just as Jiuyou was thinking this way, he suddenly felt a burst of breath coming from the direction of the wizard tower in the distance.
The aura very similar to that of the man in white in front of him erupted three times in a row!
Jiuyou's heart skipped a beat, could it be...
Being suspicious, I heard a voice coming from the chanting used for communication: "Advancing in the direction of the wizard tower was blocked. According to witnesses from players, there are three legendary masters haunting the scene..."
"Three?"
Jiuyou's pupils shrank slightly.
Other people around heard the voice in the recitation, and they were also shocked: Why are there three legends? Where are there so many legendary ranks?
Jiuyou frowned. Before they acted, they had just confirmed with Shenfeng that the three wizard association elders were there, and Shenfeng and them launched an attack on the secret realm almost simultaneously.
Thus, those three people couldn't let go of their hands, otherwise they would hand over the secret realm to the organization behind Shenfeng.
Then there is only one possibility: the Wizarding Association transferred back the two elders who were guarding other countries overseas!
"How did this happen? Could it be that the Wizarding Association has given up bases in other countries?" Cang Hai, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, asked in surprise.
Jiuyou only discovered now that they not only underestimated the strength of the ancient elders of the Wizarding Association, but also underestimated their determination to defend the headquarters!
Building the Arcane Tower inside the Wizard Tower and already occupying an absolute advantage, they would rather give up the two overseas sub-bases, but also ensure the absolute safety of their headquarters, leaving no opportunity for the fool...
The cautiousness shown by the Wizarding Association made Jiuyou feel desperate.
The same goes for the others, who were shaken by the news that came from their words: one legendary level is hard to fight against, let alone four?
Seeing the morale of the team plummeted, while the surrounding wizards were still attacking them, Jiuyou's thoughts changed sharply, and he quickly made a judgment: "Retreat!"
"Retreat? Are you sure?"
"Really want to retreat?"
The blue-bearded Yakov and others looked over in surprise.
Although the current situation looks hopeless, the battle has just begun, and there has not been a real reduction in personnel. With the resurrection mechanism, this is destined to be a long battle.
What's more, at this moment, even the ordinary people outside are still fighting. As a result, their main team, which has carried too many expectations, retreated so quickly. Is it a bit...
"That's right, retreat! You must retreat!" As the leader, Jiuyou was much clearer than the others.
After the appearance of the four legendary ranks, this operation is already an impossible task for them. The most correct choice at this time is to retreat!
This operation failed, but the deadline for the full server mission is not over after all, so we can keep our vitality and have a chance to do it again in the future. If even their team is wasted here for nothing, that would be real despair.
"Everyone, retreat in an orderly manner according to the original plan!"
Jiuyou didn't hesitate. After making a decision, he decisively took out the city return scroll and tore it open.
Seeing this, the other people had no choice but to agree with this decision, and they put up defensive spells one after another, while the other six people arranged in the team took out the scrolls and tore them apart at the same time.
However, within just two seconds of the teleportation array lasting, an electromagnetic storm quickly swept across the entire battlefield, instantly interrupting all the teleportation arrays on the scene, and extending beyond the cemetery, forming a spherical barrier visible to the naked eye .
Teleportation... cut off?
Jiuyou was shocked, and hurriedly took a new scroll to return to the city and tore it open.
As a result, this time, the light and shadow of the teleportation array did not appear directly.
"I only thought of running away now, is it too late?" On the back of the dragon, the man in black sneered.
Everyone followed the sound and saw that the man in white had already left the dragon's back and landed on the ground beside him, with his right hand raised flat, and the tip of the staff held in his hand was shining with a faint thunder.
Obviously, the shielding spell around him was exactly his handwriting.
"Quick battle and quick decision!" The white-clothed man spoke at this time, and in an old voice, he uttered the first order after coming here.
Jiuyou knew that they had to retreat at this time, but he was not the only one who knew this truth, the other party also knew that even though the fools in the city seemed to be making a scene, they were actually scattered soldiers, and they had no ability to approach Wizard tower, a magic crystal cannon is enough to deal with crowd tactics.
The real threat to the wizard tower is the elite team of hundreds of people in front of us!
They are not only an immediate threat, but also a long-term threat in the struggle between the two races for a long time to come.
So, the Wizarding Association has actually made up its mind early on, even if it pays some price, it must use this battle to completely kill this backbone force among the Fools here, so as to prevent future troubles!
When the other wizards heard the news, they immediately launched a more violent attack, throwing out all kinds of magic as if they didn't need money.
Fighting against the wizard tower has a great advantage, that is, their magic power and life can be recovered extremely quickly.
This is one of the basic functions of the Wizard Tower. As long as you are a member of the Wizard Association fighting within 1,000 meters around the Wizard Tower, you can enjoy a high attribute increase, and it also provides 1% health and mana recovery per second.
This is why the Arcane Tower was specially built inside the Wizard Tower. As long as the battlefield is forcibly fixed around the Wizard Tower and the battle is against the Wizard Tower, the combat effectiveness of the entire Wizard Association can be raised to a higher level!
Facing the overwhelming magical offensive, the player team naturally tried their best to resist the counterattack, because the level and number of players were not too far behind, and they could fight evenly at the beginning.
However, the opponent has a steady stream of supplies and recovery from the wizard tower, but they don't. If the battle continues, this balance will be broken sooner or later.
What made everyone more uncomfortable was the Chimera.
In a one-on-one situation, Jiuyou and the others are certainly not afraid of a sub-dragon, but in this kind of legion melee, the power of this large monster is too terrifying.
This thing is simply a turret that casts spells continuously. The breath of dragon breath after mouthful, the damage is terrifying, and there are additional effects such as corrosion and burning.
The formation that everyone gathered with great difficulty was constantly torn apart by the dragon's breath, and it was still unable to form an effective resistance.
While everyone was suffering unspeakably from this chimera, the man in black on the dragon's back was still complaining.
"Snapped!"
The man in black held a special long whip, and whipped it on Chimera's neck.
"What's going on? After spitting so much, you can't hit anyone. Did all the aiming training I gave you go to waste?"
With the whip down, a bloodstain appeared on the dragon's neck. Chimera let out a roar, but did not dare to show more anger, because a bony spur collar wrapped around its neck had been quickly tightened, piercing deeply into its body.
Chimera had no choice but to endure the pain, and continued to breathe fire even harder.
It is very difficult to really tame a dragon. You can only use a special collar to forcibly control it. After enough time, you can slowly tame it until it completely wears off its wildness.
"The use of whipping should be moderate. The most important thing in the way of controlling beasts is balance. Punishment without rules will only cause backlash." The man in white who was not far away saw this scene and taught lightly.
"Yes, teacher." The man in black nodded hastily.
All the players were extremely annoyed when they heard this conversation, they actually used them as practice tools, and even engaged in on-site teaching.
But everyone has no other way at this time. Just avoiding the dragon's breath is too busy to take care of themselves, and there is no time to be angry.
The only thing that made Jiuyou gratified was that this enchantment spell that blocked the teleportation needed to be cast continuously. In order to prevent them from escaping, the people in white could only maintain the state of casting the spell, so they didn't attack them, otherwise they would only be defeated faster.
“…Hold on, we’re organizing a rescue…”
While reading the words, news was still coming in intermittently.
Jiuyou didn't have much hope for this.
Now the battlefield in the imperial capital is divided into three parts: they are fighting in the cemetery with the wizard team led by the men in white; , it is difficult for these low-level players to organize an effective attack.
Then there is the wizard tower, hundreds of elite players who boarded the ship and entered the city, trying hard to attack the wizard tower. However, under the command of the three elders, the battlefield over there is estimated to be even more anxious than theirs here, and it is impossible to pull out their hands to rescue.
The third line is in a hurry at the same time, and the balance of victory is rapidly moving away from them.
But there is still hope in Jiuyou's heart, because according to the news from the headquarters, the boss who provided them with the evolution potion, that is, Captain Ghost, has not shown up yet!
When and in what state will he enter the battlefield?
If he shows up, can he break the current deadlock?
Still, all of this is just a fantasy, under this irreversible crisis, the other party will never show up again...
"Roar!"
While Jiuyou was thinking wildly, the Chimera in the distance suddenly rolled to the ground, wailing fiercely, rolling on the ground non-stop, as if enduring great pain.
The black-robed man on the dragon's back didn't expect this sudden change, and was thrown flying, and rolled to the ground, covered in mud.
But when he got up angrily, he immediately looked in one direction, and raised his wand: "Who?"
The man in white and the other wizards and players present all looked in the same direction in the distance.
Under the gaze of everyone, the sound of two running footsteps from far to near quickly amplified.
A few seconds later, two figures came through the darkness and rushed into the barrier.
To everyone's surprise, it was actually two women who broke into the battlefield at this moment!
Two women, one is wearing a red robe, holding an exaggerated scythe; the other is dressed as an ordinary witch, with a crow standing on her shoulder, but the wand in her hand is slightly raised, and the tip of the wand is surging with magical brilliance.
The man in black robe saw two strangers appearing, and one of them was actually casting a spell in front of them, and what he didn't even think about was hitting him with a heart-wrenching curse.
Although the two people on the opposite side did not have the aura of a fool, in his opinion, the one who would suddenly appear on the battlefield at this time must be the enemy, so there is no need to hesitate.
Because of this, he didn't notice that when the man in white behind him saw the appearance of the two of them clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly, his palms trembled, and cold sweat broke out on the top of his head.
"Poof!"
This heart-wrenching curse did not cause any effect. When it hit the two people on the opposite side, it disappeared without a trace like an illusory soap bubble.
At this moment, the witch was still holding up her wand and continuing to cast spells. With her movements, the giant dragon behind her struggled more violently. The two dragon eyes turned blood red, and the dragon claws continued to slap, causing the whole ground to tremble.
"Asshole, don't stop!"
The man in black was furious, blessed himself with a lightness technique, and then rushed over at an extremely fast speed.
"Slow down!" The man in white hurriedly shouted, but it was a pity that he was still a step too late.
The moment he opened his mouth, the man in black robe who rushed halfway froze, as if picked up by an invisible big hand, and was thrown into the air uncontrollably.
Immediately, the witch below waved her wand casually a few times, and several wind blades flew out, striking all of them on the man in black.
The man in black was soaked in blood instantly, one arm and one leg were cut off by the wind blade, and he fell from the air one step ahead, staining a piece of soil red.
When the man in black was finally attracted by gravity and fell back to the ground, what greeted him was the blade of a sickle.
Because the speed was too fast, in the perspective of everyone at the scene, only a crescent-shaped red light flashed across, and the head of the man in black was separated in the next second.
The corpse of the man in black disappeared quickly, and was resurrected not far away.
And at the place where he just died, a monstrous blood-red flower grew on the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ding!"
The moment he saw the red flowers, the eyes of the man in white behind him widened suddenly, as if he had confirmed something, his body trembled more violently, he stepped back several steps, and the wand in his hand was accidentally shaken to the ground.
The surrounding magnetic field barrier loses its magic power supply, and immediately shatters and disappears.
The man in white didn't have time to pay attention to these, and looked at the two opposite people in disbelief.
"Herman, it seems that you didn't properly publicize my deeds to the younger generation..."
At this moment, the witch on the opposite side had already put away her wand, and did not speak, but a voice similar to sound transmission sounded from the bottom of everyone's heart.
"Fear of natural enemies should be engraved in instinct, so that species can survive better. Isn't this the theory you have always admired the most?"
"You know I'm trembling when you see me, but your junior dares to rush over directly. It's not good."
