Chapter 159 Flame Graka!
"Crack! Pop!"
As soon as you step into the Flame Graka area, the temperature rises instantly.
The flowers, plants and trees all around were burning, and the dead wood and stems were burning fully, emitting slight popping sounds.
The air was filled with flying sparks.
[You have entered the Flame Graca area, you will continue to receive burning damage! ]
10-
10-
10
As soon as the prompt sounded, Xu Mu's health continued to drop at a rate of one jump per second.
"10 HP per second. My HP is close to 2200, which is only enough to burn for less than 4 minutes. This is with 35 points of fire resistance."
"This place is not very friendly to players in the early stages of development." Xu Mu thought to himself.
In the original version of DNF, Flame Graca was used as a hidden copy of Roland.
The highest level map that players can normally access is only Sauta.
If you want to open the Flame Graka, you need to complete a series of hidden tasks and submit a lot of materials.
Xu Mu remembered that when he first started playing DNF, he didn't know about the existence of Flame Graka.
I foolishly kept farming the Minotaur King until I reached level 18 before doing the job change quest.
Not far away, several Flame Goblins holding flaming sticks were napping outside the small village they had built.
Take a quick look at their properties.
【Flame Goblin】
[Level: 13]
[Attack: 85]
[HP: 5000]
[Skill: Magic Flame, when cast, throws a small fireball forward, causing 100% attack damage to the target, and adds a 5-second burning effect, increasing the HP lost per second by five times! ]
…
In the Hidden Snow area, even the monsters have reached their maximum strength.
With an attack of up to 85 points, a normal player of the same level would probably not be able to withstand a few blows.
Not to mention it’s ten times more difficult.
Xu Mu estimated that if it hit him with the stick, without his defense, he would lose at least 500 to 600 blood.
Even though his health was very high, he couldn't withstand four sticks.
Even so, Xu Mu whistled and directly woke up all the Flame Goblins in the entire village.
"ah!!"
When a group of goblins discovered the invaders, they immediately clenched their sticks and emerged from the village one after another.
There were at least 10 to 20 of them packed together!
Faced with such a situation, Xu Mu advanced instead of retreating. With a confident smile on his face, he drew his sword and rushed forward!
"drink!"
He took the lead with an upward strike, which directly knocked seven or eight goblins away. After completing three normal attacks, he quickly followed up with a cross slash.
221!
218!
376!
A large number of densely packed damage numbers appeared, jumping rapidly.
Xu Mu, holding a +10 purple leaf blade, can still deal considerable damage even at ten times the difficulty, and the goblin's health begins to drop rapidly!
The efficiency is pretty good. At this rate, this group of goblins can be eliminated in about 5 minutes.
But Xu Mu's health was also dropping rapidly.
Due to the range limitation of the upward attack skill, the remaining goblins missed the target. At this time, they took the opportunity to swing their sticks, found the right angle and hit Xu Mu hard!
If it were half an hour ago, even Xu Mu, who had mastered all the strategies, would not dare to be so reckless.
But now... do you want to know about the mobile fountain?
Seeing that his health was getting low, Xu Mu simply flipped his palm and took out the intermediate HP.
The current market price of the intermediate HP potion is 50 gold/1 portion, and it is a special item for Brother Fu.
Even rich guys have to think twice before taking drugs.
With this one bite, at least tens of thousands of dollars are gone.
But in Xu Mu's hands, this thing was like breathing free air, and he didn't even frown.
Swish!
+1973!
An emerald green light spread out around him, instantly filling up Xu Mu's health bar!
Xu Mu can then continue to attack with his reckless style without restraint.
Moreover, with the purple breastplate and belt , getting beaten is actually a strategy.
For example, right now.
One of the goblins hit Xu Mu with his stick.
Directly triggers the special effect of the chest armor: there is a 3% chance of triggering Sauta's Roar after being injured.
"roar!!!"
Soon, a sound of earth-shaking began to linger around.
Capture all the goblins around Xu Mu on the spot! Stun them for 5 seconds.
Moreover, the leaf knife in Xu Mu's hand began to get slightly hot!
The belt's special effects are also triggered one after another: after triggering Sauta's Roar, gain a +100 attack bonus, which lasts for 10 seconds.
"Now!"
Xu Mu seized the opportunity and started to output frantically, activating whichever skill was lit up.
311!
342!
578!
…
A large area of high damage blew out one dense red whirlwind-like number after another in the forest where the blazing fire was burning.
Even though these goblins had a health of up to 5,000 points, they could not withstand Xu Mu's outburst and destruction.
Two minutes faster than Xu Mu expected.
Just three minutes.
The goblins in a stronghold were directly cleared out by Xu Mu!
“Swish!”
Another white light shot up from his body.
The rich experience points gained from killing monsters above level 5 make Xu Mu even gain extra rich experience points from killing small monsters.
It jumped up one level directly and reached 77% of the experience value of level 9!
The ranking also jumped slightly to 67th place.
It will only take 10 to 20 minutes to get back into the top 50.
The loot was once again scattered all over the ground, including a number of blue and white equipment.
There are 300 gold coins! After conversion, another 3,000 gold will be added to your account!
What's more, what surprised Xu Mu was...
One of the goblins even dropped an enchantment card!
In the DNF game system, enchantment cards have always been a very important part.
The difference in damage between a profession with full enchantment cards and one without enchantments can be described as heaven and earth!
I picked it up and looked at it.
It is a blue head and shoulders enchantment card.
Effect: Increase attack speed by 3%.
In the early stage when everyone does not have sufficient skills, they rely heavily on normal attacks.
A 3% attack speed increase can almost be directly seen as a 3% damage increase.
For a player who can deal 100 points of damage with one sword, a three-hit combo can deal 9 more points of damage. If two monsters are pulled at once, 18 more points of damage can be dealt.
Especially for some monsters whose health is only a few dozen points more.
A 3% increase in damage almost means one less skill cycle.
More importantly, enchantment cards ignore the equipment level.
The higher the level of the equipment used for enchantment, the greater the benefit will naturally be.
The current market price of this thing is at least over 200 gold, which is definitely not affordable for ordinary players at this stage.
Xu Mu didn't really care.
Its explosion rate increase is ten times, and you will get better results after using it. The sooner you improve it, the sooner you can enjoy it.
He crushed it directly and attached it to the top of his blue suit.
Afterwards, he took out the blood potion and blue potion, and after taking them to replenish his status, he continued on his way!
…
"This is the Hidden Snow area, the Blazing Graka."
Just ten minutes after Xu Mu left.
Behind him, the place where he had fought.
A player with the ID Xifandi, leading a small team of about 20 people, followed into the burning forest.
"It's really extraordinary. It's totally different from the areas we fought before. The air here is burning." Xi Fandi held an automatic pistol with a purple glow in his hand, whispered to himself, and then instructed his men behind him.
"Have you taken all the potions I gave you earlier? HP will continue to be deducted in this area, so be ready to replenish it at any time."
"Okay!" Everyone behind him nodded.
Soon, another player who wanted to flatter him said, "You have to follow Boss Xifandi. Other players are probably having to save money even for the lowest-level novice potions. In our luxury fleet, everyone can carry 1 intermediate potion, 5 primary potions, and 10 entry-level potions. Taking potions is like eating candy beans. If other players knew about this, they would probably drool with envy, haha!"
"Who says it's not true? Just look at the Hidden Snow area. There are less than 10 people who can enter the novice village! The NPC who gave us the quest just now said that you have to be at level 10 to accept the quest and get the map of this area." Other players were not to be outdone and followed closely behind him, flattering him: "If we continue at this rate, he will definitely be our !"
"Okay, stop chatting and get ready to pull the monsters. Be careful." Xi Fandi said.
Upon hearing this, other players began to act one after another, scattered around with weapons in their hands, searching for the monster everywhere, and finally pulling the monster back to this place, and everyone attacked it together.
The strategy adopted by Xifandi is actually very simple.
It can be considered a variation of the 'tail-knife style'.
The most basic way is to help other players reduce the monster's health, and then when it's time to kill the monster with one blow, other players will move out of the range of the experience share, leaving the player who made the final move to enjoy the experience alone.
The advantage of doing this is that you can keep all the experience to yourself and your level will increase very quickly.
It has been proven to be the most effective method in the early stages of many combat dungeons that have been challenged countless times.
But it also has a fatal flaw.
The levels of other players cannot be improved at all.
If it were any other copy, this wouldn't be a big deal.
There will always be players at the same stage as you hanging around in the dungeon, and you can buy them off with a little more money.
But the current "Dungeon" copy is different.
It is truly global synchronous development.
All players have no strategy and are all at the same starting line.
What’s more important is that it can’t get out!
This has led to many low-level players being unwilling to be dogs.
Working for you doesn't give you any experience, you can't spend the money you earn, and if you fall behind you will be kicked out. Who would do that?
Therefore, Xifandi made a slight improvement to this style of play.
He is still the one who gets killed, but other players do not have to exit the experience zone.
This empirical calculation method becomes.
He alone gets 50% of the experience, and the remaining half is divided equally among the other players.
Then he used his high level advantage to open some hidden snow areas or high-difficulty areas in advance.
Even if his subordinates share the remaining 50% of the experience equally, they can still ensure that their strength is always consistent with that of the main player group.
At present, the 20-man team I have built has reached level 12, except for myself.
The average level of the rest of the people has reached level 8 at this time, even slightly higher than the average player level 7.
In addition, the items dropped by monsters in high-level areas are also quite valuable.
When it comes to allocating resources, you can wear the equipment you can use.
For the rest, players will roll points to distribute them, or sell them and the coins earned will be divided equally among everyone.
It is like bringing capitalist ideas into the copy world.
But you know what, it really works.
Compared to a group of players who are already running around like headless flies.
They really need a backbone like Xi Fandi to lead them in doing things.
What's more, Xi Fandi is already an S-level player in the Western Federation circle, and he is only one step away from breaking through the quasi-god realm.
Many people are willing to believe him.
The cooperation between us is quite pleasant.
"At this rate, I will be the first person in this Novice Village to change jobs." While waiting for his men to pull the monsters, Xi Fandi opened the level ranking list and took a look.
My current level is level 12 61%, far ahead of the second place of level 11 93%. The rankings of subsequent players are very close.
Until the 20th place, they are all still at 55% of level 11, with little difference between them.
This shows that his style of play has a natural leading advantage.
In addition, Xifandi had just paid attention to the player with the ID 'A'.
Xifandi, who had never set foot in the quasi-god realm, like other players, knew very little about the top players in the quasi-god circle, and naturally didn't know much about the background of player 'A'.
All I know is that this player seems to have good luck, as he completed three starts in a row.
Originally, Xifandi regarded 'A' as his number one enemy.
But based on his intensive observation over the past two hours.
He found out.
'A' This player is a bit weird...
You say he is weak, but he still finds new ways to get the first kill.
He can kill top regular BOSSes like Sauta in the Forest of Loran whenever he wants.
But you say he is strong.
His level has not been raised...
And it often happens that the experience bar remains motionless for a long time.
After a while, it suddenly jumped up one or two levels.
It's just very strange.
"I guess he also uses the strategy of taking advantage of others, letting other players contribute experience to him. However, his improvement is not as successful as mine. So when his level remains unchanged, he is probably recruiting a new batch of hard-working players in the town?" With such a guess , Xi Fandi shook his head.
Forget it, just ignore him.
A player who couldn't even make it to the top 50 would only be left further behind in the rankings once he was able to enter the main city of Hermaden.
It's not worth your attention.
“Boss!!”
At this moment, a loud shout from his men suddenly came from not far away.
"What's wrong?" Xi Fandi looked up while playing with the purple pistol in his hand.
"It seems that other players have taken the lead in the area ahead!" One of his men hurriedly turned back and trotted back: "When our team of four went to explore the way just now, we found some traces of fighting at the scene. There are no monsters around. It seems that other players have cleared them out first..."
"What?" Xi Fandi was shocked when he heard that. He frowned and asked in confusion, "Did you guys explore the wrong direction? In this Novice Village, how could there be players who came to this area faster than me?"
"Are there other teams? The one ranked second, Monsoon?" the subordinate asked cautiously.
Xi Fandi shook his head in surprise. "I entered the dungeon with 10,000 gold coins, plus the gold coins we accumulated from leading the way. I used all of them to buy potions before I dared to come to this area where blood is constantly being lost."
"Let's not talk about the difficulty. Even if we only count the potions, they can't afford it."
