The third level of the lava cave is the level with the most monsters and the most dangerous level. Of course, for some capable expedition teams, it is also the level with the greatest rewards.
In the first and second floors, because the level of Warcraft is not high, there are only low-level Warcraft and a small number of mid-level Warcraft. Therefore, many expedition teams that are not very strong come to hunt Warcraft. As a result, the number of Warcraft in the first and second floors is not as many as in the third floor.
.
The fourth level is the main activity area for high-level Warcraft. They have superior strength, a large area of activity, and a relatively small number. Therefore, the expedition team entering the fourth level must constantly look for traces of Warcraft in order to hunt them.
The third level is an activity area dominated by a large number of intermediate-level monsters, especially those that live in groups, which are powerful and numerous. As a result, expedition teams without certain strength do not dare to enter easily, so the number of monsters on the third level is relatively large.
Third Prince Mo Fen's expedition team entered the third level after repairing for a night.
In the lava cave, there is no distinction between day and night, only the eternal dim yellow world. Therefore, the expedition team can only set up camp and sleep when they are tired according to their own biological clock. The third prince Mo Fen and others are very experienced and have various protective measures and props
, coupled with the multiple magic storage bags they all carry, making their adventure very easy.
But as soon as they entered the third level, their comfortable days suddenly came to an end, and their luck began to turn bad.
The monsters on the third floor are different from those on the first and second floors. In addition to their strength, they are also much more courageous. On the first and second floors, some monsters, even several groups of monsters, will fight when they see a multi-person expedition team.
Run away and hide immediately.
On the third floor, individual monsters were fine and did not dare to seek death. Groups of several or more monsters became more courageous. When they saw Ruian and other seven-person expedition team, they dared to attack. Of course,
Their fate can be imagined, and they can be easily solved, becoming one of the gains of Ruian and others.
After only walking for half a day, the expedition team dealt with several invading monsters very easily. One time, Ryan even had a chance to take action, and the four invading monsters were easily eliminated by his companions.
Suddenly, the expedition team, which was moving forward on alert, noticed a burst of dark clouds floating in the sky tens of meters high in the distance.
"No, it's the fire crows." The middle-aged swordsman Wu Mu shouted loudly.
In the expedition team, Wu Mu has been to lava cave exploration before, and everyone else is here for the first time. Therefore, Wu Mu’s experience is very important.
Hearing Ebony's shout, Ruian was slightly startled. He had seen Fire Crow's introduction when he checked the lava cave information before.
Fire crows are level 3 fire attribute monsters. Some of them are more powerful and can be upgraded to level 4 monsters. As the name suggests, fire crows will emit blazing fire from their bodies. Their main means of attack are sharp claws and huge mouths, not powerful magic.
It can only attack by erupting flames from its mouth. Of course, the number of times is limited. After just one or two fire attacks, the Fire Crow's body will run out of magic power and can only attack with its body.
Among the level 3 Warcraft, the Fire Crow is not very strong individually. It is one of the lowest-strength Warcraft, but they are notorious because they have extremely bad tempers and like to attack other people and Warcraft. More importantly, they like to live in groups and can be counted in numbers.
There are tens or hundreds of them living in groups. A single fire crow is naturally no threat to explorers and other monsters, but groups of fire crows are a nightmare for explorers and other monsters.
It can be said that in lava caves, the last monster that explorers want to encounter is the extremely large group of monsters such as the Fire Crow Swarm. Many expedition teams returned in defeat, or even were completely wiped out, because of the Fire Crow Swarm.
's masterpiece.
The expedition team of the third prince Mo Fen was very unlucky. It was not that they did not expect to encounter a group of fire crows, but they never expected to encounter them as soon as they entered the third level.
"Everyone set up the formation!" Third Prince Mo Fen shouted softly, but there was no anxiety or worry in his voice, as if he spoke casually.
Everyone started to move at once.
I saw the magician Dika take out five large shields the size of a person from the magic storage bag and throw them to the ground in front of him.
The third prince Morfen, Ebony and the Stoveslav brothers quickly picked up a large shield, formed a circle around the outside, and raised the shield high to protect the people inside.
Since the beginning of the expedition, the third prince Mo Fen has completely abandoned his noble status as a prince and has not put on any royal pretensions at all. He purely regards himself as an ordinary member of the expedition team. This makes Ruian deeply admired.
Ryan also picked up a big shield, but instead of going to the outside for defense, he put the big shield at his feet, took out his magic wand, and together with Dika and the magic archer Warwick, turned their backs inward and faced outwards.
, prepare to fight.
This is the strategy formulated by the third prince Mo Fen before. When encountering a large group of monsters, Ruian first uses magic to fight in the inner circle. When the magic is almost consumed, he then fights with fighting spirit sword skills. Therefore, the big shield at Ruian's feet
It's a defensive tool that will be used later.
"Yeah yeah..."
The extremely unpleasant cry of fire crows arrived first, which immediately made everyone's ears feel uncomfortable. Immediately, the overwhelming fire crows came in an instant and flew in front of everyone.
Ruian made a brief estimate and found that there were many fire crows, as many as two to three hundred. Ruian's face suddenly turned ugly. The number of fire crows was much larger than he thought, which put more pressure on them. Although the expedition
Everyone in the team has super strength, but when facing a large group of monsters like this, no one can be sure that something unexpected will happen. But at this moment, there is no other way but to fight hard.
"Get up!" Ruian shouted softly, and the level 4 magical bronze shield that had been prepared for a long time appeared out of thin air at the outermost edge, and the shield-like magic enveloped everyone.
It hasn't been long since Ryan became a level 4 magician, so he only learned one level 4 magic, the bronze shield. The name of the bronze shield is called bronze, but that doesn't mean that the shield is made of bronze. The essence of the shield magic is still earth.
The reason why the element is called bronze shield is just to describe that its defensive ability can be compared to a shield made of bronze.
In order to expand the coverage of the bronze shield, Ruian consumed a lot of magic power and spent a lot of preparation time. Fortunately, the arrival of the fire crow was not so fast, otherwise during the battle, Ruian would not have had time to display such a large-scale bronze shield.
.
"Attack!" The moment Ruian's bronze shield just appeared, the third prince Mo Fen shouted loudly. Then everyone immediately launched the attack methods they had been preparing for a long time.
The four swordsmen hiding under the protection of the large shields swung their long swords, and all fired a two-foot-long sword blade at the dense group of fire crows. In the blink of an eye, four fire crows were chopped into pieces by the sword blade.
The two halves fell from the sky.
The level 3 fire crow's defensive ability is not strong, so the swordsmen do not need to expend too much fighting energy. A sword blade more than two feet long is enough to tear the body of the fire crow. A blade that is too long wastes fighting energy.
The demon archer Warwick hunted the fire crow very quickly. He held the bow in his left hand, and with his right hand he kept taking arrows from the quiver beside him, pulling the bow and shooting arrows. On average, he shot two arrows in one breath. Warwick is a fire demon archer.
, his fire magic was not very lethal to fire monsters, so he only used fire magic to increase the rate of fire and relied on the lethality of ordinary iron arrows to kill the fire crows. In just a few breaths, there were seven or eight of them.
The fire crow was struck by an arrow and fell to the ground.
Of all the people, the one with the highest efficiency in killing the Fire Crows was naturally the level 6 magician Dika. He had prepared the group of wind blades for a long time and used them immediately. Suddenly, twenty or thirty Fire Crows fell down from the dense crowd of Fire Crows.
.Then Dika kept using the group of wind blades, killing the fire crows that couldn't escape.
The fire crows did not stand still and acted as targets. After they approached the crowd, they immediately surrounded them from all directions. There were too many of them. Although dozens of them were killed by the crowd as soon as they approached, there were still more than two hundred.
After completing the siege, all the fire crows collectively erupted in flames with a tacit understanding. Suddenly, huge flames enveloped everyone, and the whole scene seemed like hell.
Erupting flames as soon as they fight is the most common attack method used by the fire crows. They have to erupt all the flames before engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
Seeing the overwhelming flames, everyone's expressions changed drastically, but fortunately Ruian cast the bronze shield immediately. But how could a single bronze shield withstand so many flame attacks?
Ruian tried his best. He continued to output magic power to replenish the massive consumption of the bronze shield's magic power. However, judging from the current situation, no matter how hard Ruian tried, he could only delay the time when the bronze shield shattered.
Fortunately, Ryan was not defending alone at this moment, and the other two people inside were also defending with all their strength.
Warwick took out magic arrows with ice magic and shot more than ten arrows in all directions. As soon as the ice magic arrows encountered the flames, they immediately exploded, extinguishing a large area of flames.
Dika played a greater role. As a level 6 magician, he cast a giant whirlwind, constantly hovering outside the bronze shield, shrouding everyone in the center of the whirlwind. Suddenly, a large amount of flames sprayed out and were blown away by the whirlwind.
Move, change direction, spread to other places.
Next, on one side, three people worked together to defend, and on the other side, two hundred fire crows collectively erupted into flames. The magics of both sides collided, constantly stalemate, and various loud noises erupted. The scene was extremely shocking.
At the beginning, the magic defense of the three people was not weaker than the attack of the flames, but they soon fell into a disadvantage, and as the flames continued, the disadvantage became bigger and bigger. After all, there were too many fire crows.
The superposition of their magic power is far greater than that of three people. The defense of three people only delays the time, and it will be a matter of time before they are breached.
Soon, twenty breaths later, Warwick's ice magic arrows were used up, Ryan's magic power was exhausted, and the bronze shield shattered and dissipated. Only the most powerful Dika was left to maintain the whirlwind defense.
I can't hold on any longer.
At this critical moment, everyone's luck came. Many fire crows in the fire crow group began to run out of magic power and no longer erupted flames.
