Volume 4 Chapter 6 Monster Attack (6)
The Elf Archer is the player with the best eyesight, so most people haven't figured out what happened. But because I have the archer skill "Gaze", I looked in the direction of that person's finger and soon noticed that against the backdrop of the rainbow glow, countless densely packed black dots appeared in the distant sky!
"Oh my god! Even the air force has been dispatched?"
So far, no player has reached a level where he can learn flying skills. It is obvious that what came from the sky must be a monster!
"Attention all archers! Air alert! The priests bless and protect the archers!" I gave the order quickly, and by then most archers had already noticed the anomaly in the sky.
"Squeak..." Rows of bows and crossbows were opened, and arrows flashing with cold light were aimed at the air. I also replaced the Tiger Soul, took out a golden bow, and put an arrow on the string.
The black spot gradually expanded, and suddenly someone started shouting frantically: "Damn it, what is that? The flying dragon has been released. Isn't this company too inhumane?"
Damn! If I hadn't used up both hands to draw the bow, I would have been unable to resist giving the middle finger. Flying dragons are low-level species of dragon beasts (the kind of lizard dragons in the West, as opposed to the dragons in the East), level 80. Although they are "low-end goods" and are far less powerful than the red dragons and black dragons with numbers, they are still one of the strongest races of dragons, especially those with wings. Compared with current players, they have extremely superior mobility, and they also have long-range attack capabilities: dragon breath!
The power of dragons is beyond doubt. Therefore, although they are rare monsters that can drop pet eggs from small monsters other than bosses, not many people want to kill them. In the Western Continent, where dragon beasts are found, even among the famous players, no one has ever succeeded in killing a dragon alone! Not to mention the dragon monsters in the Eastern Continent, which have no small monsters at all, and are at least super bosses above level B!
The only hope now is that there are not too many flying dragons. If there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 of them at once, like the monsters before, there will be no way to fight them. Everyone will just log off and wait for demotion! However, I believe that the game company should not make such an unreasonable move. Although it is very difficult, there should be a chance of successfully defending the city. Otherwise, the company will be scolded to death by the players? Isn't he afraid that the players will go on strike (that being said, I am not sure. There is no other game that can compete with Fantasy at present. Even if the players complain a lot, I am afraid that there will not be many who really go on strike)?
The flying dragons were approaching quickly. Now I could see clearly that there were not many of them, only about ten thousand. However, it was still a severe test for the players defending the city. I took a deep breath and ordered loudly, "Brothers, it's time to fight to the death. There's no need to be stingy. Use poison arrows, piercing arrows, and paralysis arrows!"
During the internal test, flying dragons appeared when monsters attacked the city. However, the player levels were generally over 80 at that time, and they would not necessarily lose when fighting against a group of flying dragons in the air. What’s more, the crossbows made by senior craftsmen were enough to cause fatal damage to the flying dragons. Now, we can only rely on the advantage of numbers to carry out a siege!
Although there are many players in the city, only the archers with the longest range can attack the flying dragon in the first time. About 5 or 6 archers are assigned to face one flying dragon. However, this even distribution method is quite stupid. Under the dispatch of members of each guild, the first wave of attack is composed of dozens or even hundreds of archers who aim at a single flying dragon and conduct concentrated shooting!
As for a monster of the flying dragon's level, its defense is really high. More than half of the arrows had no attack effect at all, and could only forcibly deduct 1 HP. And those arrows that could break the defense only caused slight damage to the flying dragon, with each arrow deducting more than ten to dozens of HP. However, after all, there is strength in numbers. Being shot at by such dense arrows at the same time, even a powerful flying dragon could not help but let out a shrill whine. More importantly, under such a high-density attack, various small-probability additional damage effects inevitably appeared. Among the hundreds of flying dragons in the vanguard, some were poisoned or had their wounds torn, and their HP continued to lose. What's worse, a few were paralyzed and fell straight from the air and fell on the wall. The warriors who originally had no chance to attack rushed forward, cheering and waving their weapons, hacking at those flying dragons that were temporarily unable to fight back.
However, are flying dragons such easy monsters to deal with? After two waves of arrows, most of the flying dragons have broken through the air defense network formed by the rain of arrows and entered the effective range of magic attacks. The flying dragons opened their huge mouths and spewed out the dragon clan's unique skill: dragon breath!
The dragon breath of this ordinary flying dragon is wind-attributed magic, and its lethality is far inferior to the fire-attributed dragon breath of the red dragon, the thunder-attributed dragon breath of the purple dragon, etc. However, this "far inferior" is only relative. For players with an average level of less than level 40, let alone being hit head-on by the dragon breath, even the shock waves caused by the bursting of those air masses are extremely uncomfortable. For a moment, storm vortices appeared on the city walls, and the players seemed to be trapped in a category 10 hurricane, being blown to and fro, almost unable to stand, and it was difficult for them to open their eyes, let alone fight!
I was very anxious. Relying on my high level and good equipment, I could talk easily. I quickly shouted in the gang chat: "Magicians, fight back with all your strength! It doesn't matter if you can't hit the target. If you can't hurt your own people with the peaceful mode, just throw the magic! Attack me indiscriminately!"
Allied members scattered throughout the city walls received my orders. They tried their best to shout loudly so that the nearby players could barely hear them. All of a sudden, a magic battle between the players and the dragons began. Countless fireballs exploded in the air, and countless lightning flashed in the sky. Although the magic cast by the players was not very accurate, they had the advantage of being in large numbers and using area attack magic. As the saying goes, a blind cat meets a dead mouse. Under this amazing attack density, the hit rate even reached 30% to 40%. No matter whether it is a human or a monster, there is always a small pause in movement after being attacked. The dragon's breath offensive was finally slightly curbed, and the players took the opportunity to regroup and launch a more fierce counterattack.
In such a chaotic environment, high-level players can better demonstrate their advantages. While others were still dizzy, I had already stood firm and aimed at the weak spot of a flying dragon: the root of the wing where the wings meet the body, and fired three consecutive shots.
I was lucky. Two of the three arrows missed the target slightly and only caused minor injuries to the thick-skinned dragon, but the other one hit the dragon's vital point. Due to my high attack power and the power of the armor-piercing arrow, the arrow penetrated the dragon's weak defense in that area and pierced through the base of its left wing!
"Woo..." After a sharp hiss, the flying dragon obviously lost its balance and slid into the city in a spin. Naturally, countless long swords and sharp swords were waiting to attack it. I had no time to pursue it and instead aimed at another target. The flying dragon with aerial maneuverability was too powerful. We had to shoot them down first and fight on the ground. Only then would we have a chance of winning!
With me as an example, players who were able to aim no longer shot aimlessly, and attacked the dragons' vital points. After all, the players had the advantage of numbers, and in a short while, many dragons were hit and fell from the sky, like a "dragon rain" in the sky.
After more than twenty minutes of fierce fighting, most of the flying dragons were shot down, and only a hundred or so were still circling in the air. The chaos caused by the large-scale dragon breath bombing also came to an end. Only at this moment did I have time to catch my breath and look at the situation around me. I couldn't help but be secretly shocked. In this wave of flying dragon attacks, the losses of players were extremely staggering, especially the fragile archers and magicians, which dropped sharply to less than 10,000 people, and the casualty rate was close to 90%!
Although there was no need to worry about the threat from the air, even the flying dragons shot down to the ground were not easy to deal with! The flying dragons that were shot down were rampant in the crowd, tearing and biting with claws, flapping wings and swinging tails. Even if a soldier with high defense and long blood was hit, he would be seriously injured. Many died in this melee. And given the level of the flying dragon, its health value was also a huge and terrifying number. Even if it was besieged, it would not be settled in a short time. Therefore, the battle in the city could only be described as tragic.
Fortunately, the players were numerous and powerful after all. As time went on, even a powerful dragon could not withstand the continuous attacks and was killed one by one. Excited shouts broke out from the crowd from time to time: "Oh, I picked up a top-notch item..." The advantage went to the players.
I couldn't stand the loneliness, so I picked up Tiger Soul and rushed towards a flying dragon, shouting, "Get out of the way! I'm going to fight the flying dragon alone!"
Who among the players on the city wall didn't recognize me at this moment? Upon hearing this, they all stepped back, leaving only one flying dragon to watch me show off my might!
I didn't hesitate, I faced the flying chopped it down on the forehead. There was a clanging sound, and my hands were slightly numb from the huge recoil. It was indeed a kind of dragon, with such a strong defense! No wonder the players had such a hard time fighting.
However, with Tiger Soul's divine power, how could this knife attack be in vain? Feilong screamed in pain, and several dragon scales on his forehead shattered and flew, and a fountain of blood spurted out, obviously suffering a great loss.
I kept up my effort and thrust forward, with the tip of the knife piercing into the dragon's lower abdomen. The abdomen was soft, not as hard as the head, and most of the tiger soul was penetrated, successfully severely injuring the dragon!
However, the flying dragon's counterattack was also powerful. It raised its claws, and one of its toes was as thick as my arm. Before I could react, it kicked my chest with one claw, sending me flying seven or eight meters backwards. With just one move, it reduced one third of my HP!
Damn, this attack power is no less than that of a D-level Boss. No wonder no one can fight the flying dragon alone!
However, as the number one person in Fantasy, I will break this record today and accomplish the feat of slaying the dragon alone!
I swallowed a bottle of potion and pounced on it again. The tiger soul emitted a brilliant blade light and fought fiercely with the flying dragon!
After all , the flying dragon is an ordinary monster, not a boss. Although it is powerful, it does not have as many skills as a super boss. For me who can fight a D-level boss alone, it is not difficult to deal with a flying dragon. After consuming more than a bundle of super life water, I finally killed it with my sword. A piece of junk equipment dropped out, but it was a pity that I didn’t get the pet egg. Reluctantly, I turned to another flying dragon.
Encouraged by my heroic performance, the morale of the players was greatly boosted. They were not afraid of sacrifice in killing the flying dragons, and they fought one after another. The speed of killing monsters was significantly increased. After a while, the flying dragons in the city had been wiped out. This was a good thing, because there was no boss among this wave of flying dragons, and given the level of the flying dragons, the boss that was paired with them might be a guy more powerful than the Stoneman King. We had to hurry to clear out the monsters first, so that we could use our collective strength to deal with that horrible monster later.
"Hum..." A clear dragon roar resounded through the sky. Speaking of Cao Cao, here comes Cao Cao, an existence that we are almost unable to resist has descended over Pojun City!
