Volume 1: Dance of the Black Dragon Chapter 4: Dragon Fire Spreads Across the Prairie
At this time, the adventurer army had suffered more than a hundred casualties, and dozens of them had fled in all directions. Only a core force of about 150 people were left. Under the protection of the fire protection barrier, they finally completed the final formation adjustment.
When the black dragon swooped down again, the opponent successfully launched an effective counterattack.
Gravity magic!
Aging technique!
Fatigue ray!
Lysis technique!
Several curse spells hit the black dragon in succession, most of which were directly avoided by his powerful vitality, but a gravity spell successfully slowed down his body for a moment.
This moment of pause was enough to bring fatal consequences. Disintegration weakened his scales, and dense rain of arrows fell on him, dealing dense double-digit damage, -17, -33, -25...
Two rounds of arrow rain only took away 3,000 of his health points .
Is that all? Just as he was about to increase his altitude, a cold light flashed, and before Morpheus could react, he felt a sharp pain coming from his left chest, -572!
A bright red number stands out among a pile of double-digit injuries.
Ouch, it hurts! Morpheus flew up in a spiral, bit the arrow shaft with his teeth, and pulled it out with great pain. He only took one look to know why this thing had such high damage. It was a mithril arrowhead enchanted with advanced armor penetration. Damn, he was rich.
If this shot hits a vital point, it might even cause a car accident. With such high damage, could it be a hero player?
He looked towards the crowd and saw an elf ranger wearing a hooded cloak, slowly drawing his bow and drawing his arrow again.
Not a hero, just an adventurer!? He was a little surprised. It was really unexpected that an adventurer could shoot such high damage. If the power was a little stronger, it might be able to deliver a "fatal blow".
Although the monsters in the Sky World have health bars as a compromise to the gameplay, in pursuit of realism, the setting of "fatal blow" has been added. Once a fatal blow occurs, the health bar is just a decoration, and no matter how much health you have, you will be killed in one blow.
However, it is not easy to deliver a "fatal blow". It is not difficult to deal a fatal blow to a humanoid creature as long as you can cut off its head or penetrate its heart. However, it is not so easy to deal with a giant creature like a black dragon.
With Morpheus' current size, beheading him would require a ten-meter-long sword. As for the dragon's heart, it is hidden under the thick scales. Unlike the chest that most people think, the dragon's heart is actually under the neck, which is also the hardest part of the dragon's scales. Moreover, the dragon's heart does not increase in proportion to the growth of the dragon's body size. Even though Morpheus has a wingspan of more than 100 meters, the dragon's heart is not much different in size from a normal human heart.
It is very difficult to hit the target with one shot.
But despite this, he was still not ready to take the risk.
Morpheus (Black Dragon Lord): "Foolish mortals, do you think that you can fight against the great Black Dragon Lord Morpheus by hiding under the protection of magic and arming yourself with strong weapons and sharp swords? Witness the power of the Black Dragon Legion! Show up, my servants, and use your claws and sharp blades to tear my enemies apart!"
The next second, the ground around them collapsed, revealing a dozen pitch-black tunnels. Groups of goblins, gnolls, and even a few three-meter-tall ogres, driven by several dragon vanguards, launched a frenzied attack on the adventurers' team.
This was completely unexpected for the players. Their formation was prepared for air defense, and the outermost ones were ranged professions such as shooters and hunters. At this time, they were directly exposed to the hordes of monsters.
Qing Feng stopped Huai: "Fuck, the melee group, hurry up and kill the monsters!"
The figures of several thieves and assassins appeared around.
The short mother was annoyed: "What the hell are you doing? All the melee fighters were killed just now."
Zhu Youlei: "We are the only ones left."
Qingfeng Lanhuai reacted then. They were so busy with air defense that all the melee professions were selectively released, especially the warriors. The casualties were so heavy that there were almost no warriors left. There were a few thieves, assassins, and shadow dancers who could hide in the shadows and survived, but these professions had poor resistance to the line, and it was too much to rely on them to support a line of soldiers.
There are still a few paladins who have survived to this day by relying on the Holy Shield, but it is a drop in the bucket.
In the blink of an eye, the monsters rushed into the adventurers' formation and started hacking and killing indiscriminately. Several mages on the periphery were killed on the spot.
Several thieves and assassins were instantly overwhelmed. Qingfeng Lanhuai put away longbow and replaced it with two scimitars. He chopped down several goblins with two slashes. "Fuck! Those who can summon, summon your pets! The magic system should clear the small monsters first."
As he spoke, he whistled and summoned his wolf first.
It must be said that these players of Dragon's Sorrow were quite skilled and reacted very quickly. Several elementalists summoned several rock golems, forming a loose formation. The hunter and ranger's beast pets, the necromancer's skeleton guards, the demon warlock's hellhound, the arcanist's phantom hound...
Several druids joined forces to summon a giant vine monster. The large number of vines released entangled a large group of gnolls, making them unable to move, and forcibly halted the offensive of the monster army.
Once the formation was stabilized, the powerful damage ability of the magic profession was fully utilized. Firestorm and Lightning Chain swept through the goblin war group, knocking them down in groups. Alchemical bombs caused heavy casualties to the ogres, forcing them to flee in all directions.
A few ogres did cause some effective damage, knocking over some unlucky guys on the periphery and making two gaps in the crowd, but they were immediately targeted by the hunters and rangers' crossbows. These crossbows were not very effective in shooting dragons, but dealing with these big guys without any armor was as easy as shooting at a target.
Morpheus shook his head as he watched the monster servants being slaughtered crazily below.
What a bunch of trash! These monster minions given for free by the system are just useless. We can't defeat the opponent who has no formation at all.
Unfortunately , there are still too few dragonmen under his command. If there were a hundred dragonmen vanguards, fifty dragonmen wizards, and a few dragonmen generals with auras to supervise the battle, it would be easy to break through the opponent's formation.
However, it would cost at least 500,000 RMB to build a dragon hatchery. He was used to a hard life and was reluctant to spend money so lavishly. Now that he was on the battlefield, he could only make do with these garbage.
Fortunately, it doesn't cost any money, and you won't feel sad if they die. Anyway, as long as the notoriety value is high enough, you can always attract a large number of people. And to be honest, these monsters do achieve the purpose of disrupting the enemy's formation.
At this time, in order to deal with the sudden attack of the monster army, the adventurers' formation had long ceased to exist, and even several fire protection barriers disappeared.
The black dragon found a suitable angle and dived down again.
Take a deep breath - accumulate power, accumulate power again, accumulate power for three stages - dragon fire spreads across the prairie!
Murphy breathed out the dragon's breath with great pleasure, spraying it from one end of the battlefield all the way to the other. Wherever the flames passed, adventurers and monsters were all burned to ashes - there was no such thing as friendly forces being immune to damage in this game.
This breath of dragon killed at least fifty or sixty adventurers, and also eliminated about a hundred goblins, gnolls, and ogres.
The air above the battlefield was filled with the stench of burning flesh and blood.
