Chapter 15 Curse Fox
"If we want to pass the level now, we have to focus on you, so please feel free to hold it."
It was not the free and easy statement of the Sword Immortal that made the amused and crying Ember take over the scapegoat fruit stuffed by the other party, and he was able to take down his second passive skill [primary resurrection technique].
"It doesn't look great to recover three percent of the blood every five seconds. In fact, it's very useful. When I just crossed that river, I almost fell a little and could get back a little."
It’s not that the Sword Immortal is playing the skill effect of the primary resurrection technique, but also buying a stolen tree fruit. As he said, what he lacks the most now is credit points. Anyway, he has everything he wants to buy, and he can’t get enough of it if he buys it. It would be even more wasteful to leave it for the next assessment. It would be spent all of it and become combat power. This is the truth.
"Huh... I finally saved my life. If you were a few seconds later, you would probably not see me."
The head of the Strange Tree Guard looked at the two of them with relief and said earnestly: "There is something I must remind you that although the gardener's hut on the other side is relatively close, you may encounter a curse fox, which means sending those two people to kill my mortal enemy. This forest is getting stranger. Although I desperately hope that the gardener will appear to save everything, I also don't want to see you die for it. I suggest that you should go to the gardener's hut on the half-plant area first. If you don't find anything, go to the other side to take a look."
“We will consider your suggestions.”
The ember solemnly made a statement to the head of the Strange Tree Guard, and then rushed to the corrosive stream that divided the two half areas with the Sword Immortal.
The head guard of the strange tree looked full of worry, and watched the backs of the two men gradually disappear, and the sighs accompanied by the breeze blow the branches and shake the fallen leaves.
...
Although the Strange Tree Guardian's suggestion is for the sake of the two players.
But Yu Chen and the Sword Immortal still decided to go to the gardener's hut opposite first. First, because the distance is close, the location is opposite Wolf Valley, with a stream between the two sides. Second, because the enemy "cursive fox" mentioned in the words of the Strange Tree Guardian, they completed two side missions in succession, and obtained a bunch of props, which made the two of them feel confident in challenging the cursive fox.
Although they failed to receive the assassination mission from the Strange Tree Guardian, they decided to explore the depth.
Anyway, even if you encounter a nail, you can retreat temporarily. Go to another gardener's hut to search first, which will not waste much time in total.
When the two wade through the river and arrive on the other side of Wolf Valley, the game time has passed 23 minutes, and there are still five minutes left. The third-level pea shooter can take shape, but the two did not stop and head straight to the place where the gardener's cottage is.
The environment of the animal half-area is actually similar to that of the plant half-area. The only difference is that you can often see various small animals in the treetops and grasses.
These are friendly creatures that are not aggressive and hurriedly hide when they see someone approaching. As the two of them go deeper, a small house standing in the valley is revealed in their eyes.
From a distance, there is no strange place in the cottage. It is made of wood. It looks like an ordinary wooden house.
But in front of the wooden house, an old fox was paced back and forth. It could walk upright like a dire wolf. The difference was that it could speak human language with higher wisdom.
"Why haven't you come back yet? Holding my deworming piccolo, it's unreasonable to fail! Although the strength of those two humans is not very good, their brains are definitely much stronger than that stupid wolf. With my piccolo helping, it should be no problem to solve the old immortal."
The old-fashioned and yellow-haired curse fox kept wandering with a cane. It repeatedly comforted itself and would not miss the matter entrusted to Thunder Wanjun and Lu Renjia, but its increasingly anxious expression betrayed its true emotions.
"I finally encountered such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I must not lose it. If that person regrets it, it will be difficult to find another chance to kill Lao Immortal." The curse fox murmured to himself. Because he was distracted, he could not notice that someone was approaching secretly. "And after getting that Lao Immortal Tree Heart, I can also develop a more powerful deworming technique."
The curse fox, who was still worried, calculated the combat power of both sides and the final result again: "The four enhanced juvenile shadow-eating insects, combined with the abnormal human weapon, will definitely make Lao Buddy extremely passive, but Lao Buddy is very capable, and he always jumps around before he dies. I guess all my four enhanced juvenile shadow-eating insects will die. It's a pity. I finally raised seven of them, and most of them were ruined in one go. If it weren't for the fate of me, I would have killed them myself!"
As he said that, it showed a flesh-paining look, but it was replaced by fanaticism in an instant: "As the saying goes, you will gain if you give up. After getting the heart of the tree, I can not only drive more shadow-eating insects, but also have the opportunity to summon a stronger juvenile body. All efforts are worth it and worth it!"
The cursed fox talked to himself, and the two of them were heard by the Embers hiding in the dark, and they felt that it should have triggered a specific plot, so they could fully understand the whole story.
Why did the cursed fox insist on killing the head of the monster tree guard?
There are only three juvenile shadow phenotypes that it can drive.
Which one is the "that" in the words of the fox?
"I think it is not only necessary but also possible to kill this old fox!"
"I think what you think makes sense."
The embers lit up their heads and immediately launched the Eye of Exploration at the Curse Fox.
...
Name: [Strengthening juvenile fox] (Beast entity derivative/hostile creature)
Blood volume: 50/50
Attack level: weaker
Defensive level: extremely weak
Attack speed: Normal
Alert range: Normal
Skills: Deworming, spell, slow, spell, black flame
Introduction: As one of the representative schools of ancient magic, spells have long been abandoned because of the growth of emerging magic. However, there are still some diehards in the magic world who are tirelessly studying spells and trying to find the true meaning of power. The spell foxes are the relatively rare non-human groups among the remnants of many sorcerers. They are extremely sensitive to chaotic energy and are easy to resonate with them, becoming spellists who drive the power of darkness.
...
To be honest, the attributes of the curse fox are very ordinary. Both the blood volume and the offense and defense are much lower than those of the dire wolf, and some are even unable to compare with the thin monkey. But the problem is that the two curse skills are not clear about the specific effect. If they fight later, they will be defeated by the first army, which will be embarrassing.
“It’s risky, and it’s not small.”
It is not that the Sword Immortal carefully evaluates the combat power of both sides based on the existing information: "Not mentioning the curse fox itself, the three strengthened juvenile shadow-eating insects will be troublesome, and maybe it can also summon some ordinary shadow-eating insects."
"Use the explosion cone. The explosion radius of two meters and the average attack level are enough to kill ordinary shadow phenomenons and to severely damage and strengthen the juvenile shadow phenomenons." Yu Chen decided to use the explosion cone that was just hot. He felt that it was enough to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers no matter what. "As for those two spells, the slow effect is only to reduce some attack speed and movement speed. This skill should be combined with the deworming technique. We just need to clean up the insects first. The slow effect is actually not that serious."
“It’s right.”
After hearing Yuchen's analysis, it was not that the sword immortal was more confident in this battle: "The only problem is the black flame of the spell, but with you and I have two pea shooters, even if we fight hard, we will have a bigger chance of winning, and we will also have the best support for the death tree fruit. Let's go, don't hesitate, I agree more and more with the sentence "Time is money."
After the agreement, the two immediately walked out of the bushes and appeared in front of the curse fox.
Because they didn't know how the cursed fox fought, they decided to start the battle in the simplest way.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? The gardener's hut doesn't welcome you, leave quickly!" The curse fox stared at the Embers with vigilance, but it quickly smelled a familiar breath through its nose, "How come you are stained with the breath of the shadow phenotype I cultivated? No, you killed my shadow phenotype and killed the two humans I sent?"
Yu Chen and the Bian Jianxian did not answer and still slowly approached the curse fox.
"You guys sent by the old immortal?"
The tone of the curse fox suddenly became extremely gloomy. Its white eyes stared at the two players, and then raised its crutches and hit the ground hard.
"Since you can kill my people, I can kill you too! Come out, my servants, tear these two eyesless guys apart!"
After the words came, a thick dark curtain immediately surged in the open space in front of the curse fox. The Ember and the Sword Immortal stopped immediately and were ready to face the battle. When the dark curtain faded, as many as twenty ordinary shadow-eating insects appeared in front of the two of them, as well as the three leading juvenile shadow-eating insects.
From a certain perspective, the strength of the curse fox is stronger than that of the Monster Tree Guard and the Desert Wolf. Because players with insufficient attack power are easily surrounded by Shadow Eater to death. Faced with the other two, they may be able to struggle a few times through positioning. Strictly speaking, the current Curse fox is not in its prime, because it has lost four enhanced juvenile Shadow Eater, but has not obtained the Strange Guard's Tree Guard's Tree Guard and cannot make its strength further.
Just imagine, if Yuchen and the Sword Immortal did not take action, the curse fox that seized the heart of the tree would grow to a more powerful level. At that time, even if there is a reinforced third-level pea shooter to assist the team, the difficulty will probably only increase unabated.
However, all kinds of inferences are based on the fact that the player cannot quickly clear the monsters. When the explosive cone taken out by the embers shattered in the center of the insect swarm, the battle balance began to reverse.
