Chapter 171 -164: Another Bloodsucking Scroll Revealed
Off the coast of Spider Demon Island, with the experience from the last battle, Da Fei arranged the Flower Demon Army in the air behind the ship, on standby, to avoid being wiped out in one go and not being able to utilize the advantage of the air force. At the same time, Da Fei handed over the Flower Demon Army entirely to Catherine’s command. Catherine with her Master-level Attack Skill and Master-level Pirate, increases troop damage by 100%.
Then those 29 high-technical skilled artillery personnel, squeezed out by the brats, were placed on the frontline against the enemy, surrounding the Druids at long range. These sailors are the highest-end beings that can be hired with money in the harbor, at a solid level 4 soldier standard, capable of operating cannons, fighting, and steering ships. If it weren’t for Da Fei picking up a cheap task to hire them, ordinarily losing one would mean paying compensation at a level 4 soldier recruitment price and reducing the player’s reputation.
Then the Flying opened its gun ports, its body broadside, bombarding the giant spiders on the beach to lure the enemy into moving.
The same scene appeared again. Accompanied by the spiders’ screams, a giant golden spider rushed out from the middle of the island. This time, Da Fei clearly saw the small golden Hero Aura beneath it. Golden auras were something Da Fei had never seen before, and he didn’t know which profession’s hero it belonged to, but he guessed it must be pretty awesome.
However, Da Fei has also changed since then, taking on the role of a temporary ranger with attacks and critical hits galore, and with even more favorable terrain, completely capable of winning despite being outnumbered – it’s just a fight to the death and then resurrection.
Still, a big web quickly formed a bridge between the hero and the Flying, but to Da Fei’s surprise, the Crossbow Cannon couldn’t reach its position – this creature’s range was even further than the cannon’s! What in the world was this?
Fortunately, the Flower Demon Army, positioned far away, was not entangled in the web.
The entire island’s spiders swarmed forward, beginning their march across the narrow bridge.
The so-called strategy of striking in the middle of the crossing, Da Fei waved his big hand, controlling the Crossbow Cannon to fire three successive shots, and at the same time Catherine immediately ordered thousands of Flower Demons to pounce.
The spiders crossing the bridge had almost no combat power to speak of; all they could do was charge! Countless spiders fell into the sea under the bombardment of the cannons and the air assault. Even so, a large number of spiders still managed to break through the line of fire and succesfully boarded the ship.
Poison fog, spider webs exploded with a bang, and the boarding battle began.
Upon engaging in battle, Da Fei immediately felt something was off. Although he had taken up the ranger role and his attacks had made a qualitative leap, instead of a crushing feeling against these elite spiders, the fight felt doubly hard. Their Blood Defense was that strong?
Da Fei finally saw the flashy blood light emanating from the Spider Demons amidst the poison fog; it was Bloodsucking! Each of these Spider Demons had a Bloodsucking Skill! What the heck? Am I fighting a knock-off vampire here? The problem is, vampires of this elite kind couldn’t possibly swarm in such great numbers to be cannon fodder, right?
Da Fei couldn’t remain calm. They’re all kindergartners with red flowers, so why are these Spider Demons growing so shockingly well, while my brat army can’t seem to get past the hurdle of Advanced Skills? Is the Spider Demon race that superior? Or is it that wild monsters that are incorporated by players get their strengths covertly reduced by the system?
It was at this moment, a puff of black smoke flashed on the shore— the Spider Hero made its move. Da Fei’s eyelids twitched with alarm; it was about to cast Magic!
—System Prompt: The Spider Demon Hero has cast Master-level “Delay Magic” on your entire troops!
Damn! It really can cast spells!
And at that moment, Serbia’s entire body flashed with golden light! The black smoke being gathered by the Spider Demon Hero’s spell casting scattered abruptly, and its body ignited with raging blue flames.
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Serbia used the skill “Undying Light” to disrupt the enemy hero’s Dark Magic.
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Serbia used the skill “Suppressing Darkness,” the enemy hero’s Mana consumption increased by 100%.
Da Fei was ecstatic beneath his astonishment! This was the first battle with the small heart Nun’s Professional Skill! Specifically designed to counter Dark Magic, and it was even a combination of punches! So it meant that the blue flames burning all over the Spider was the Mana burning caused by Suppressing Darkness. The Spider Hero must be out of Mana after having burned away double of it in the spellcasting.
Da Fei’s heart instantly settled. And he couldn’t help but feel secretly alarmed inside.
Magic Heroes are undoubtedly Strategic Heroes, a single spell can change the course of battle. If it weren’t for Serbia coincidentally countering the enemy, Da Fei couldn’t imagine what would be the fate of his troops, already sprayed with sticky liquid and drastically reduced in Attack Speed, caught in the “Delay Magic.” In fact, up until now, this was the first time Da Fei had faced a real deal Magic-casting hero troop, as before it was not much different than fighting wild monsters.
Now the battle was underway there was no suspense left, Da Fei, holding the absolute advantages of Magic, terrain, and luck, annihilating the enemy army was only a matter of time.
Finally, the last Spider Demon fell, leaving only a solitary Spider Demon Hero on the island.
A lone commander, huh! Da Fei immediately directed the Flying to approach the shore of the island, just to enter Crossbow Cannon range and give it a salvo to send it on its way. But at this moment, the Spider Demon Hero dashed to the center of the island, to the mother nest, and assumed a defensive stance.
Damn! Now Da Fei was in a tight spot! Can’t bombard the center of the island with the Crossbow Cannon, so he has to disembark? Is this deliberately making things difficult for me since I’m on such a tight schedule? Fine! Whether it’s a duel or a melee, it’s your choice – for a duel, you face our whole group, for a melee, our whole group fights you alone!
All troops disembark!
Considering the insane damage of a BOSS hero, it’s best to start with a Druid Lightning Bombardment! One lightning strike dealing 84 points of damage, 50 strikes – that’s 4000! Even if it has high Magic Resistance, that should give it a run for its money. As for the Flower Demons’ Swarm, don’t even think about it, they were immune just now when fighting ordinary spiders.
With a deafening roar of thunder, the Spider Hero screamed pitifully, just then, a beam of blood light flashed from the Demon Nest behind it, connecting to the Spider Hero with a +1000! A large green number popped up!
Apf! Da Fei sprayed on the spot! This Demon Nest can actually heal it, and so fiercely at that!
But the battle had already started and there was no turning back; they had to confront it head-on! The Druids initiated combat with their long-range shooting, the hero charged over, its lifeline to the Demon Nest stretching as it moved, and once more a big +1000 popped up above its head!
Da Fei’s eyes narrowed in shock, damn! It’s going to be fully healed! How can you beat this kind of healing?
Surround it, all the Flower Demons, surround and attack!
In an instant, the battlefield was engulfed in a flurry of pollen! Simultaneously, a barrage of notifications on immunity to pollen attacks and notifications of troop casualties flooded the screen.
The Spider Hero’s massive blade cut down row after row, its dual blades killing in seconds, as its tremendous body plowed through the ranks like a tank, slaughtering left and right! The Flower Demons that touched the lifeline were also instantly killed, their pained screams silenced in a flash!
Da Fei’s face turned ashen! No way, even with ten times the troops, they’d be annihilated!
Is it possible that, after laying waste to the enemy and leaving only their Commander, they’d be wiped out by this sole Commander? What a joke, it’s like cheating! This is blatantly the system cheating!
With the situation critical and a wipeout imminent, Da Fei, with cold sweat dripping, turned his gaze to that unscientific blood lifeline! With the intuition of a master player, Da Fei immediately pointed at Didi and signaled: “Fly up there, block that thing!”
There must be something off about this bloodline! I refuse to believe that, while it can instantly kill Flower Demons, it can also kill a Banshee Boss with 1000 health!
Didi soared into the sky, blocked the bloodline and, not only was she unharmed, but she also successfully severed the connection between the Spider Hero and the Demon Nest!
Oh yeah! So that’s how it is! This bloodline is harmless to the Demon Race! Now that the healing is cut off, I won’t hold back! Smash it!
Even without the bloodline’s healing, the BOSS’s Blood Defense was still formidable, and its Bloodsucking Skill was active. The practiced Uncle Monster Army and Druid Army were already wiped out; only the Flower Demons, with their sheer numbers, continued to besiege it. But once they lost the advantage of their overpowered special skill, the Flower Demons, mere cannon fodder at level 0, suffered horrendous casualties.
Tears welled up in Da Fei’s eyes, and his heart bled. If it weren’t for the fact that he, as a commander, could not move lightly, Da Fei really wanted to rush in and fight it out.
But just then, the ground of the battlefield started shaking violently!
——System Prompt: Your subordinate hero Anwen used Master-level Arcane Magic “Summon Earth Element”!
Da Fei turned around in great joy and saw Mrs. Anwen herself had also landed ashore! Tears streamed down his face; he was still too naïve! Without you, Old Lady Anwen, I wouldn’t have made it…
At that moment, twenty or thirty Earth Elements broke through the soil, completely surrounding the Spider Hero. Da Fei immediately ordered the remaining Flower Demons to retreat from the battlefield to let the professional melee fighters take over.
Exactly! The bane of melee combat – Earth Element! High defense, substantial health, and hefty damage are secondary; the key is its disgusting special skill “Rebound,” which reflects a portion of the damage back at the attacker. In short, although the four great elemental creatures of wind, fire, water, earth aren’t necessarily strong, each possesses a special ability that greatly annoys players, which is why elemental creatures are generally unwelcome mobs for players to clear.
Now, facing the high-Attack Commander whose purpose was to rebound attacks, the Elemental’s fate was already sealed! When it let out an unwilling scream that echoed across the island, Da Fei finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
…
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You have defeated the Spider Demon Worm Nest’s trial guardian hero, achieved victory in the campaign, and obtained 620,000 Experience. Your Hate Value with the Spider Demon clan has increased by +10000. You have obtained spoils of war: “Bloodthirst” Skill Scroll.
——System Prompt: You have achieved the “9th Campaign Victory” achievement, with an additional reward of +10 Command Power. You have achieved the “3rd Glorious Campaign Victory” achievement, with an additional reward of +20 Command Power and +20 Hero Life.
——System Prompt: After the intense battle, your Elite Banshee Infants have made significant growth and have grasped the sub-skill of Advanced War Machine Technology “Crossbow Master”!
Finally——wait! Spoils of war, Bloodthirst?
Da Fei hurriedly opened the item to check:
——”Bloodthirst” Skill Scroll: The hero and the hero’s mixed-blood Demon Race melee troops will gain a junior level of Bloodsucking ability, converting 3% of damage dealt into their own health. Limited to Beastman and mixed-blood Demon Race heroes.
Apf! You’ve got to be kidding! Another Bloodsucking Skill! Although it’s not as exaggerated as the 8% from old spider Nokes’ hero inheritance, 3% is still pretty good! And it’s just at the junior level, which means it can be upgraded?
In an instant, Da Fei remembered a profound statement from the forums: The first one to loot a Divine Artifact, the Nth one is just crap! In online games, if you want to sell, do it sooner rather than later!
