Chapter 173 The Wisdom of the Storm Rat
"Is Storm Rat? It's not so ordinary when you hear the name, and I don't know what kind of strength it is?"
While urgently dispatching melee troops to defend against new enemies, Levitra sent the last sergeant who followed him to chase the rat-man thieves who were running around in the ranged troops, while looking up and down at the new unit that was turned into a storm rat by the dwarf.
Unlike those clan rats or slave rats who are ragged and have basically no defensive equipment on them, this storm rat has armor on its body. Although it is only inlaid with iron pieces of leather armor in key areas, it is completely different from those low-level rats.
And unlike ordinary rats, this newly emerged Storm Rat holds a sword in his left hand and a shield in his right hand. The weapon also looks quite excellent, but although it looks extraordinary in combat power, it did not rush up in person at the first time, but directly commanded the troops to launch an attack.
Fortunately, Levitra was always prepared for this. Xiaobai and the war bear two huge beasts directly met. While knocking away a large area of rat people, they also blocked the two passages. The rat people could not bypass them for a while and attacked Levitra directly.
Levitra then freed up his hand, urging several robbers to rush up and attack the thieves of the rats and men together. They did not require them to kill the other party directly, at least they had to stop them and not allow them to attack the long-range troops. Now, under their harassment, the long-range troops could not concentrate on launching the attack.
Since surrendering to himself, these robbers have basically not played any role. Every time they encounter a battle, they are flinched. Levi simply left them by his side and acted as his own guard with the mixed-race hunter Dahl, which is now just in handy.
Although they were reluctant, the robbers could not refuse Levi's orders. Moreover, the thieves in front of them seemed to be very short and not very strong. In the end, they rushed up.
At this time, Huameis in front also turned around and ran back, looking at Levice anxiously: "Levice, are you okay?"
Although she was following the Moore Knight Tanato and fighting with the ratmen, the sound of fighting behind her quickly made her realize something was wrong, so she ran back as soon as possible. Anyway, it would be enough to hand it over to Tanato in front.
"I'm fine."
Levitra shook his head gently, but he still felt a little back in his heart. He didn't expect these rats to be so cunning and would ambush him. But he has to admit that the complex terrain here in the underground world is indeed very beneficial to the rats.
Before Huameis could say anything, they heard the war bear in front of them roaring anger, and then hundreds of kilograms of body hit the ground with a "boom". Three or four clan rats jumped over directly on their bodies and launched a charge towards Levi and others.
At the same time, a gray-green fur rat man laughed: "How is it, I just said it's right to leave it to me, Mr. Yuanyang, right? Even this guy is useless even if he is a level 2 elite!"
Because his vision was blocked by the rat people, Levitra didn't know what was going on for a moment. He quickly checked his system panel and found that there was an additional negative state of restraint in the War Bear's status bar, but its health was still healthy and he did not lose much.
However, the name of the double pot obviously belongs to the player. The indigenous people in this game have not invented the hot pot dish. That guy is a rat player!
Although the other party's identity was determined, Levitra had no intention of greetings, because the rat player Yuanshuangguo had already directed some special rat people holding long pole lasso and began to walk towards Xiaobai.
It is obvious that the War Bears were dragged to the ground by these things just now, and now they want to use the same moves to deal with Xiaobai.
Of course, Levitra would not just look at it. He pulled out the long sword on his waist, then stretched out his hand, and the long sword suddenly lit up like a torch. Then he quickly used magic props to summon two flowing water elements and one young stinged lizard, blocking several rats who had just rushed over. Then he directly issued a order to fight the death of the flowing water elements and the young stinged lizard, and at the same time he began to rush towards those special rats.
These special rat men must be killed in the shortest time, otherwise if Xiaobai is also knocked down to the ground, most of the defensive fronts behind will be destroyed, and the remaining defense lines are no longer enough to withstand the invasion of so many rat men. Even if they win, the losses are definitely not what he wants to see. He must kill these guys as soon as possible, and then rely on the advantage of geographical advantages to persevere to Tanato and others to resolve the battle!
"Damn, come on, this NPC can actually be magic!"
Seeing that Levitra first summoned two flowing elements and then summoned a big lizard that looked very ferocious. At the same time, the long sword on his right hand was also burning like a torch, the rat player was immediately startled and knew that he had encountered a tough slut.
Because all players now know that magic is rare, even on the forum, few players publish their own information on magic. The only valuable one is probably the Sigma Sect, the empire's state religion. Every week, there will be a limited selection of elite players to absorb into their sects, so that they can obtain magic.
However, after entering the Sigma Sect, those players discovered that this sect seemed to be slightly different from what they imagined. Although they were all priests, unlike the fragile units in other games wearing priest robes and holding staffs, the priests of the Sigma Sect can wear mail and then charge against the enemy with warhammers and flails. Some of the scriptures they carry with them can even be used directly as shields!
Among the indigenous people of the Sigma Sect, most of the members are bald heads, and their melee ability is no weaker than ordinary warriors. Even under their unique magic, those called Sigma divine arts, will become stronger.
But in this way, players who joined the Sigma Sect soon discovered that the Sigma Sect did not have any high-destructive magic, at least they could not get in touch with it at that stage. It seems that it will take no longer to know how long it will take for players to obtain magic in large quantities. Therefore, when facing opponents using magic, it is natural that the Rat Mandarin Duck Pot player is frightened.
The storm rat squeaked twice, but did not continue to send more troops, because the width of the passage was only those. If the enemy in front of him was not knocked down, even if it was sending troops, it could only squeeze into a group there.
"Zhizhi, double pot, you go up, zhizhi, go back, merit!"
Although the intelligence level is not too high, this Storm Rat has been in the novice village with many Rat players for so long. It still knows what these greedy God-Selected players like the most, so it immediately tempted it.
"Damn it, I knew you were not reliable!"
The Rat Man player cursed, but did not really obey the other party's orders. Instead, he called his troops to take a few steps back and try to hide away. However, the Rat Man troops swarmed behind him could not hide further, but instead squeezed him out of his way forward.
The rat man player Yuanyangguo immediately scolded again, then pulled out a scimitar from his waist, waved his hand and chopped at the slave rat in front of him. The blood splattered out instantly, but this also played some role. The low-level slave rats finally retreated under the threat of blood. When facing the weapons of their own tribe, they were more afraid than facing the enemy. Yuanyangguo quickly took this opportunity to take his troops back.
Seeing that the slave rat under his command were attacked by the other party, Storm Rat suddenly screamed: "Squeak, mandarin duck pot, slave rat, mine!"
"Okay, I understand, I will pay you back!"
Although the storm rat screamed very fiercely, the rat player Mandarin duck pot didn't care. He just looked at the human being wielded with a lingering fear, and there was a newly-appeared spear warrior with white light all over his body, looking like a little girl. Now the two of them are killing each other in the slave rat. The gap he created was originally suppressed by the other party and the joint efforts of the summoned creatures.
Listening to the screams further away, the mandarin duck pot immediately felt retrenched. Although he received this task temporarily, it seems that the humans who entered the industry are a bit too powerful now. These slave rats and clan rats who win by number are not opponents of each other at all. The treasures under his command have been recruited by them with their own talent skills, and they cannot be lost here...
Levitra didn't know the other party's little thoughts, but when he and Huameis fought back the Rat people's charge and pushed the other party back to the War Bear, the special Rat people holding long poles all ran away. His War Bear finally stood up again from the ground and roared angry again.
Levitra gasped for a moment, then reached out to the War Bear. As the magic fluctuated, a layer of gray-black armor quickly appeared on the War Bear's body like a rock. There was no missing place. This greatly enhanced its defense ability. This was the magic - stone armor that Levitra had just obtained from the wandering wizard Collet!
Of course, strengthening defense is only one effect of this magic, and now Levi is more concerned with another effect. Although it is not stated on the system, it can definitely be used to fight against those rat-man lassoes!
Then he did not stop, but pointed at Xiaobai again, and the same magic was released again. Xiaobai, who was originally covered in snow-white body, suddenly turned into a stone lion, and even became more than a circle.
The Rat Man player was stunned. He looked at the stone armor that once looked smooth, and then looked at the Lasso Rat Man under his command...
"I'm quitting doing it anymore. What a broken mission?!"
After using magic many times in succession, Levi's magic circle was finally completely cleared. However, with the efforts of him and Huameis, the defensive front finally stabilized. Levi directly transferred the half-elves and asked them to shoot at the rat people who were sneaking into the back. Anyway, they were blocked by Xiaobai and Zhan Xiong, and these rat people became living targets.
Huameis, who had freed up his hand, turned to the half-elf-blade guard Kelly, helping her kill the rat-man thieves. Although their combat power is not bad for Kelly, these thin guys are really too good to jump, so it would be better to have more people. Anyway, there is no need to tell any rules or reputation for these alien races.
With the addition of Huameis, before causing greater chaos, these rat-man thieves who sneaked in were finally killed. Although they were absolutely agile, Huameis crushed them in an all-round way. In addition, the number of these rat-man thieves was not too large, so they just wasted a little time.
After dealing with these rat-man thieves, all the long-range troops were finally able to launch an attack with all their might, and Sienna, Kelly, and the two half-elves and the mixed-race hunter Dahl were also free to resist the rat-man's attack together.
Once the frontal battle begins, the lack of combat effectiveness of the rat man's cannon fodder troops will be directly highlighted. It is difficult for ordinary slave rats and clan rats to break through the two beasts with stone armor.
Their giant slingshots and stone-capping ropes are far inferior to the half-elves' bows and arrows, and once they show up, they will be quickly killed by the fire. Faced with increasing losses, the storm rat behind them finally couldn't hold on. It turned to the Divine Selected Hero who had been watching the fun beside them.
"Zhizhi, double pot, you can come!"
The mandarin duck pot stubbornly said, "I don't, why don't you get it?"
Although they are all rats, probably because he is a hero of God's Chosen, he does not have the tremors unique to other rats when he speaks, and he does not have squeaky oral words.
"Kill, bear, zhizhi, two 2nd level thieves, zhizhi!" Storm Rat quickly made a promise.
"Tsk, I have to be my life." Although I was a little moved, the double pot still did not accept it immediately, but planned to bargain first.
Because he had sent out several subordinates, even clan rats that were stronger than slave rats, but judging from the damage caused by those clan rats, the opponent's defense was not a little higher after wearing the layer of rock armor, and the attack power of the rat man's troops was so low that it was only stronger than the shameful halfling of the Order Clan.
It is not appropriate to want to kill the elite bear under the opponent's fierce rain of arrows, and the reward is only for two 2nd-level rat-man thieves. This is not suitable, and I am afraid I will lose more than I can get it!
Storm Rat stared at the mouse and was thinking in her heart. This was not the first time the other party said that. They had dealt with each other several times, and every time the other party acted like this, they just wanted more benefits...
"Um?"
At first, Yuanyangguo thought the other party was thinking, so he couldn't help but liked himself again. Sure enough, it was also beneficial to choose this race with a few players. Although it was a little ugly, these NPCs were also stupid and could bargain. I heard that the game will soon open a new quota in the past two days. At that time, you must fool your friends to play this race together...
But suddenly I found that the Storm Rat looked at him not as though he was behind him...
The next moment, the mandarin duck pot saw the storm rat turn around without hesitation and turn his back to him. He was stunned: "Hey hey hey? Are you angry? Don't, you can discuss something!"
But soon, Yuanyangguo found that after hearing what he said, not only did hesitate, but instead took his legs and ran away quickly, and quickly distanced himself. At the same time, a noisy squeak came from behind him.
He had already had many experiences and didn't even look back. He knew the reason. The other party was not angry because of his bargaining, but ran away!
Yuanyangguo cursed inwardly, but did not look back stupidly, because no matter what happened later, even this NPC knew that it would be impossible for him to fight. It would be better to run away first!
Looking at the flocking rats, who had just killed their enemies and were rushing back to support Levitra, Tanato, couldn't help but be stunned: "Sir, what happened?"
Levitra was also a little surprised, but when he heard the other party’s problem, he could only smile and shake his head: “It was probably because he realized the gap in strength between them and saw you bringing troops to reinforce, so they knew they were not opponents and started to run away. This is a real runaway.”
Unlike the enemies refreshed by the system in the wild, whether it is the undead wizards yesterday or the rats today, they all give Levitra a sense of cherishing their lives, so when they knew they were not their opponents, they chose to escape without hesitation.
"Haha, Levitra, you're right."
Before Tanato could reply, Huameis had already laughed. Apart from the escaped Scarvens, which race could be more suitable for this term?
