Chapter 27: The Mentor's Test 2
About a quarter of an hour later, Li Qing saw the third wave of enemies.
There are still 100 murlocs, but there are no ordinary murlocs of level 0. All of them are murloc warriors of level 1 or above, mixed with a large number of level 2 murloc warriors, as well as a level 3 murloc leader and four level 3 murloc priests.
The Murloc Priest is the magic promotion route for the Murloc clan. It is promoted directly from a first-level Murloc Warrior to the third level, skipping the second level in the middle.
Level 4 Grayscale Murloc (waste) —— Level 11 Murloc Warrior (ordinary) —— Level 32 Murloc Priest (elite) —— Level 65 Ocean Warlock (elite).
Like the Kobold Priests, the Murloc Priests are also rare in number, and they also have an extremely rare path to advancement to the Extraordinary level.
However, the strength of the Ocean Warlock is slightly inferior to that of the Gnoll Dragon Warlock, and it can only exert its maximum strength in the water. Overall, it is not as good as the Gnoll.
This time, Li Qing did not dare to be careless. He pointed at Long Shou before the fishman attacked:
"I want you to attract the attention of four murloc priests and kill them quickly!"
Long Shou pressed his fist to his chest and said loudly:
"Please rest assured, sir, I will do it!"
"Do not disappoint me."
The murlocs came like a tide and crashed into the shield wall, but were blocked. At the moment of the stalemate, Long Shou suddenly drew his bow, pulled out two long swords from his back, and fiercely jumped into the murloc group from a platform more than four meters high.
His nearly three-meter-tall body gave him great strength. He rushed forward to push away the crowded fishmen. He turned around with a long sword in each hand. A horrifying tearing sound was heard, and large pieces of flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The hero is already powerful, and the dragon bloodline gives him even stronger physique and strength.
When the power is strong enough, one strike of the sword can directly kill a creature that is not strong enough.
The murloc's short spears, spikes, iron swords and other weapons did not even leave a white spot when they hit the dragon guard's body. They were unable to pierce the hard dragon scales. Even the attacks of the second-level murloc warriors could not hurt the dragon guard.
Crushing with the template and bloodline, Long Shou now stood among the fishmen like a god, unrivaled. Wherever he went, there was blood and rain, and broken limbs and corpses flew everywhere.
Li Qing stood on the stage and watched with a smile on her face.
No matter how impressive the attribute panel introduction is, it is not as shocking as the actual performance of the unparalleled power.
The power of Long Shou soon attracted the attention of four third-level fishman priests. The fishman priest holding the bone staff waved his staff, and four half-meter-long water arrows condensed and flew out.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
There were four dull thuds; the water arrows, seemingly weak but in fact extremely tough, shattered into pieces on Long Shou's body.
The four priests were shocked. One of them waved his staff again, and a large amount of water gathered above Long Shou's head to form a thick water rope that fell down and bound him.
But Long Shou roared, broke the water ropes one after another, and leaped seven or eight meters away and smashed towards the direction of the fishman priest.
The other two priests immediately waved their staffs, and several spells lit up. Blue light continued to shine on Long Shou's body, and he fell powerlessly into the group of fishmen in mid-air.
Several spears hit his body, but he was unharmed.
Instead, fine runes on Long Shou's body lit up, forming a faint layer of blood and energy flames, which drove away the blue light of the magic on his body.
Powerful spell resistance directly exempts low-level spells.
Then it made another long leap towards the nearest murloc priest, who immediately swung his staff and a layer of flexible water film appeared on his body.
Long Shou held both swords upside down and thrust them downwards, but the water film was incredibly flexible and actually blocked the two swords.
Upon seeing this, Li Qing immediately shouted:
"All archers, prepare, focus your fire on the target that the Knight Commander is attacking."
The next second, more than a dozen arrows flew out and accurately hit the murloc priest. The light film on the priest's body disappeared at the moment of piercing. The next second, Long Shou's two swords pressed down and embedded into the shoulders of the murloc priest, and blood suddenly appeared.
As expected, the murloc priest died on the spot.
Although they are magic-based troops, the Murloc Priest is similar to a Warlock and only knows a few spells. Their protective spells have been broken. In front of the Dragon Guardian, who is a heroic template and has the power of a dragon, there is no difference between a third-level and a first-level Murloc and they can all be killed in one hit.
The powerful threat of the Dragon Guard attracted the power of the murloc group. The other three murloc priests quickly retreated, and the other murlocs surrounded them under the command of the leader.
But if the defense is not broken, it is not broken. Long Yun's defense comes from his own blood. Dragon scales cover his entire body without any weaknesses. He is also much more flexible than normal soldiers. He sweeps across the country without any opponent.
Li Qing stood on the high platform and watched the battle, nodding with satisfaction:
“It’s worth it!”
A little divine power, the mysterious power accumulated over ten days, and the blood of a giant dragon. Although it cost a huge amount of money, the dragon guard created is not only powerful in combat, but also has extraordinary potential.
If you train him well, he will become a heroic general in the future.
This wave did not last long. The remaining three murloc priests did not survive for long. After less than two minutes, they were caught up by the invincible Dragon Guardian and killed .
Once the murloc priest dies, the remaining murlocs are like fish on the chopping board.
In the seventh minute, the last fishman was killed by the dragon guardian, and the third wave ended. I got 15 points, and I was the fourth apprentice to complete the third level challenge.
The battlefield was cleaned up quickly and the soldiers rested to recover their strength.
Li Qing sat on the high platform and looked at the corpses on the ground with a frown on his face.
"The first wave is 5 points, the second wave is 10 points, and the third wave is 15 points. According to what the instructor said, doesn't this mean that we have to pass five levels in a row to get 75 points?"
We have already passed three waves. Judging from the increasing difficulty of these three waves, the next wave will probably be very difficult.
According to the information Li Qing has now, the apprentices with lower rankings will be almost done after passing three levels.
Perhaps some of the mid-ranked Apprentice God Realms were stronger than him, but now the challenge was limited to 50 people, so their military strength advantage could not be brought into play.
Li Qing didn't believe that they could train a group of elite or even elite soldiers without any injuries like himself, and also a four-star hero.
In other words, if we only count the 50 people and the limited military force, my strength is definitely ranked among the top among all the apprentices, and is probably in the top three.
The reason why I dare not say that they are in the top three is mainly because the apprentices who are ranked higher must have used his method to train a group of high-level soldiers, and they have more than one hero who can go into battle now.
Maybe his star rating is not as high as Long Shou’s, only one or two stars at most, but he has more than one.
The cooperation of two or three one or two star heroes can catch up with Dragon Guardian. If there is a magic hero, it will be even more powerful.
The strength of the magic hero is not comparable to that of a third-rate magic hero like the Murloc Priest. They are not on the same level of strength.
In addition, they are very likely to have treasures such as relics. Even the lowest-level relics of the first order can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops. With multiple aspects combined, it is not surprising that they are stronger than him.
Of course, this is just a possibility.
It is possible that they don’t have magic heroes, it is possible that they are just one hero, or it is possible that they are not as rich as imagined, and the troops they train may not be as strong as his.
Ten minutes later, the fourth wave of enemies arrived as expected.
Before the strange tide arrived, Li Qing saw a large amount of gray air rising at the entrance of the passage, and at the same time a feeling of disgust came over him.
He was just wondering, as the monster crossed the corner of the canyon and appeared in front of him, Li Qing's face suddenly changed slightly.
"So many undead..."
Dense swarms of pale skeletons swarmed around the corner of the canyon. The number of the first wave alone exceeded the previous wave, and the numbers behind them kept coming.
"Shit!"
"Why are there so many?"
Gongsun Jin looked at the dense sea of skeletons pouring in from behind the canyon in shock, feeling numb.
Although the level of the skeletons is not high, only level two or three, and the highest is level five or six, and there are no undead above level one, but there are too many of them.
There are hundreds of them just now.
There was no time to change positions as the sea of skeletons rushed towards their defensive position and surrounded them tightly in an instant.
A hero wearing thick plate armor and holding a double-edged sword suddenly leaped into the group of skeletons, crushing several skeletons with his own weight. He swept the double-edged sword in his hand, shattering another large group.
Then the hero lifted his right foot with force, and invisible ripples gathered towards him.
"boom!"
As he stomped hard, a powerful impact exploded with the hero as the center, and the skeletons within a radius of ten meters were instantly shattered to pieces.
One kick shattered at least seventy or eighty skeletons.
But compared with the number of this sea of skeletons, it is just a drop in the bucket. The total number of these things is probably about two thousand, and such a hero's ultimate skill cannot be used all the time.
In the sky above, where Gongsun Jin could not see, instructor Nie Yang and several assistants were watching the game.
At this time, assistant coach Abram smiled and said to the other two assistant coaches:
"Guess how many of you can make it through the fourth wave?"
Chris stretched out his hand and made a six gesture:
"Six."
"Which six?"
Chris rolled his eyes and said:
"Which six are you talking about? Who else are there besides those few?"
Abram shrugged and asked again:
"So who do you think can make it through the fifth wave?"
Chris shook his head and said:
"not a single one."
"The fifth wave will be led by a third-level undead hero. In addition to more than 4,000 skeletons, there will be about 2800 skeleton archers. How can they resist?"
Abram said:
"I think Cao Wenyuan is very powerful after awakening the bloodline of the Steel Armored Giant Bear. In addition, he has a very sophisticated set of equipment and weapons. With three two-star heroes, it should be possible to stop him."
Chris shook his head and said:
"If he is willing to pay a huge price, maybe there is a chance that he can do it , but he may not be willing to pay such a huge price."
"The Divine Domain buildings are good, but if he pays too much, he will lose competitiveness in the next one or two months, and may be overtaken by his opponents in the first ranking."
“It depends on how they decide.”
In the challenge space, Li Qing felt for the first time what the word "Skeleton Sea", which only had three words in the textbook, meant in reality.
despair!
An endless stream of skeletons seemed to be endless, rushing forward one after another.
The white skeleton that rushed forward was chopped down by a knife, and the one who came later continued to move forward stepping on the corpse of the former.
As the killing went on, the scattered bone fragments in front of the front row of infantry piled up higher and higher, even exceeding the position of the infantry. The attack spread to the back, causing the skeletons rushing up to be taller than the infantry.
Li Qing had to order the infantry to start retreating to the slope.
At the same time, he gave orders to the cavalry patrolling in the distance to attack the Skeleton Sea and lure away some of them.
"This is too outrageous! This is only the fourth round!"
It’s like the difficulty of the first round is 1, the second round is 2, the third round is 4, and the fourth round is not 8 but 40. Who can bear this?
"I don't think the next wave will work."
Li Qing sighed lightly, which meant that the possible divine building could not be obtained.
But there is no way, the difficulty has exceeded my ability.
And fortunately, there are no ranged soldiers in this sea of skeletons. They are all melee skeletons with a minimum level of one and a maximum of seven or eight levels.
If there are things like skeleton archers, there is no need to fight them.
According to the base number of the Skeleton Sea, even if only one-tenth of them were skeleton archers, there would be 200 of them, which could easily suppress the archers on the stone platform.
The fourth wave is to grind and slowly consume the enemy with the help of terrain.
Fortunately, Li Qing's infantrymen are all elite, and the slope is narrow, so they can hold the ground firmly with only four infantrymen.
After carrying the load for a while, or when an infantryman was injured, another group of infantrymen would take over.
They are all elite, and their ranks are much higher than skeletons, so they are quite capable.
The archers kept shooting arrows, and each powerful arrow was enough to break the skull's bones and cause it to lose control.
But the only problem is that the skull is full of holes and gaps, so there is a high chance of missing the target when you shoot an arrow.
In addition, archers have a limited number of arrows. Although most of the arrows are recovered at the end of each round, they are still not enough.
After fighting for who knows how long, the archers finally ran out of arrows and had to put down their bows and draw their swords to join the battle.
However, by now, most of the Skeleton Sea has been consumed.
Most of the time, it was Long Shou who was invincible among the group of skeletons, and the five cavalrymen charged back and forth.
It was quite surprising that the five cavalrymen's performance was even better than he had imagined.
When the armored warhorses charged, these skeletons, which were only level 10, were shattered with one impact, leaving a field of broken bones after a round of charge.
Unfortunately, there were not enough cavalry. If there were twenty or thirty cavalrymen forming a line, a charge could easily crush one or two hundred.
But no matter what, after the concerted efforts of all the subordinates, most of the skeletons were finally destroyed. There are still a few hundred skeletons left, but the threat is no longer great.
Feeling that it was about time, Li Qing ordered a full-scale counterattack. The infantry and archers who had rested enough slid down from around the platform to join the battle.
Li Qing continued to stay on the high platform, hiding and giving orders.
Seven minutes later, the last skeleton was smashed to pieces by Long Shou's punch.
After chopping off countless skeletons, the two swords in his hands were worn out and broken.
"Weapons won't work!"
Li Qing touched his head, and suddenly raised his head and shouted to the sky:
"Teacher, can you allow my subordinates to replace their weapons and replenish their arrows?"
After a while, all the apprentices heard the voice of their mentor:
"After this round, you can return to the Divine Realm to rest for two hours, repair your equipment, resupply your weapons, and treat your injuries."
Li Jing immediately opened the door to the divine realm on the spot and ordered all his subordinates to return to the divine realm.
Although no subordinates were killed, all the infantrymen were injured to varying degrees after being rotated back and forth. Although the skeleton soldiers' attacks could not break the defense, they were quite powerful. Many infantry shields were chopped off, and they could only rely on the chain mail or scale armor on their bodies to withstand the attack.
No matter how hard the armor is, it will still be injured if it is hit hundreds of times.
