Chapter 520

The forest of grey shadow is a little cold and gray. Most of the time, you can't see the sun. Only in the one or two hours when the sun is the most violent at noon every day can you see a pale golden hazy brilliance in the forest. However, because the moisture in the forest is too heavy, usually at this time, some thin and light fog will appear in the whole forest. Against the background of these fog, the tree shadows of the whole forest will turn gray, and the shadow will feel a little more strange.

It is precisely because of this that the forest is called the forest of gray shadow.

In most other times, even if there is no sunshine, the forest is not as dark as seen outside the forest.

At this time, a team was moving forward in the forest.

The leader of the team is a middle-aged man. He wears a suit of leather armor and hangs a wide body short knife at the back waist. This knife has a wide range of uses. It can be used not only to attack, but also to open the way. Many adventurers like to configure such a short knife.

It is obvious that the road at present does not need to be opened with a short knife, so the middle-aged man did not pull out his knife.

He walked in the front, not fast, but if you look carefully, you can find that his way of walking is the inner eight style round, and his body is slightly Ju, and his right hand has been kept at a position about a few centimeters away from the short knife.

Careful and careful.

Obviously, the middle-aged man has lived in some dangerous places for a long time, and his adventure experience is very rich.

Having such a person as the leader of an adventure team can really improve the survival probability of the whole team.

And not only that, beside the leader, there is another middle-aged man.

He was about the same age as the leader. He didn't wear leather armor or other protective equipment, but he was carrying two big bags. The package was full, which obviously contained a lot of things. Although he had no weapons, there was a thick shield about half a person high hanging on his left hand. Except that the height of this shield was not as high as the tower shield, others were basically made according to the scale of the tower shield.

Little Tower Shield.

This is the official scientific name of the shield held by the middle-aged man. The height of the small tower shield is similar to that of the half body shield, but it does not belong to the large shield, but it belongs to the heavy shield like the tower shield, but the requirements for users of this shield are smaller than that of the tower shield, so more people can dress and use it. However, the small tower shield also has many defects: the defense surface is not as wide as the tower shield, and the weight is larger than the half body shield.

Therefore, the small tower shield can actually be regarded as a failed product.

However, this only refers to military achievements. If it is in terms of adventure, the small tower shield is favored by some defenders.

Because they usually deal with Warcraft or hostile humans, the thickness of the half body shield is not enough, and it is difficult to resist the full attack of Warcraft above level 5. Although the tower shield can resist, it is often difficult to make mobility changes because of the lack of speed due to the large weight and area. Therefore, the birth of the small tower shield solves this problem.

But it can only be used in the ranks of adventurers.

These two people are Jerry and Bannock.

Sean didn't expect that Bannock was still a defender. Originally, when he heard Jerry introduce Bannock that he was good at tracking, he thought he was a human hunting profession.

Defenders are commonly known as tanks and meat shields in the game. Although this profession is not so rare as a magician, it is also relatively rare in the miracle continent. It's not that this profession is as difficult to form as a magician. On the contrary, the forming speed of defenders is very high. Generally, if you devote yourself to training, you can train a defender in two or three years, but the cost of training a defender is not much lower than that of training a magician.

The real reason is that the death rate of this class is too high, especially in the face of advanced Warcraft. Whether attacking or retreating, the defender is always the soldier at the forefront. However, because of this high mortality risk, the treatment of defenders has always been the highest in any team, especially those defenders who have experienced countless front-line wars, are older and more experienced, and their reputation is hardly inferior to that of the head of any well-known mercenary regiment.

Whether Bannock is a real defender or not, even if he is just a guest role of the defender's deputy T, even his potential has been fully developed to the limit, but in Sean's eyes, his value is far more than Jerry.

Because Bannock is very experienced, this alone is enough to double his worth.

After all, only Arnold is barely a defender under Sean. However, even Arnold, he is not a real defender. At most, he is a guest star as deputy t. However, there are still many gaps between him and Bannock: the first point is that at present, Arnold has only lower silver, which is always a hard injury; Secondly, although Arnold is smart, he has to gain experience through countless practical battles. He is far less sophisticated than Bannock.

And the most important thing.

Anno is the chief of the northern barbarians and the head of the iron wing. It is impossible for anno to step down from this position until a new successor is found, which means that anno cannot hold the important position of defender.

So after learning about Bannock's real career, Sean has changed his mind. If possible, he wants to recruit Bannock.

After all, after about two years, Beth and others will leave. Who will be responsible for William's safety at that time? Besides William, Neil's safety is also a headache for Sean. After all, if we want to continue to develop the territory, the problem of chilav's leadership is an inseparable threshold, and the current chaos of chilav's leadership is simply a natural holy land for assassination.

If Bannock is really so valuable, it's not impossible for Sean to make a little effort to help him break the limit.

So this trip has been gone for two days, but Sean still doesn't have any complaints. Instead, he has been observing Bannock to see if he is really worth his investment.

It has been observed for three days.

In other words, Sean and others have entered the gray shadow forest for four days.

The standing position of the team is Jerry in front, Bannock is half of Jerry's left back, behind Bannock is Cecilia, the distant relative of Bannock is about two steps in front of Cecilia's right, and Sean is at the end of the team.

This is an unusual tactical protection array.

In the game, it is jokingly called two safety locks by players.

In the formation, although it seems that the distant relative of Bannock is at the core, in fact, this position is a secondary defense position, so the professionals in this position are usually Deputy t. But Sean knows that this young man is not a deputy T. he is a melee exporter. Putting such an exporter in this position is tantamount to letting the other party use his life to protect the core player - in the game, the player can be resurrected at any time when he dies, but in this real world, death is the real death.

When Jerry put the young man in this position, Sean could obviously see that the young man's face changed slightly. It was obvious that he knew the importance of this position. Bannock didn't raise any objection to this, so of course, Sean saw that the young man agreed after hesitating for a second. Originally, Sean thought the young man would slow down, but he didn't expect to know that he was likely to end in the future, but he didn't relax at all.

As for the target of his protection, of course, Cecilia.

She is the heart of this "two safety locks".

Although it seems that Bannock is protecting Jerry, in fact, if it is an attack against Jerry, Bannock needs at least one or two seconds to stop the damage for Jerry. However, if it is an attack against Cecilia, Bannock can react in an instant, because the position of Cecilia is Bannock's real protection circle.

Jerry wanted to give up Jerry's position to Sean, because it was the second safe position in the whole formation, but Sean refused.

He is in charge of the rear of the hall.

In fact, Sean's position is the most dangerous in the whole formation. Because to break the "two security locks" is to attack from the last person's position, Sean's position needs to bear the greatest pressure.

But he has this confidence and strength.

Jerry certainly had no way to say anything about it. He could only walk in the front.

Through these days of observation, Sean found that Bannock may really be a pure defender, not a guest Deputy t. Because of his trip for several consecutive days, Bannock not only checked the terrain from time to time and judged the escape direction of the black crystal demon leopard, but also kept a high degree of attention to prevent possible raids. This consumed Bannock's physical and mental energy, which was not as simple as he seemed.

At least, Sean is also a senior adventurer.

However, Sean also dares to judge that Bannock is indeed a defender worthy of the name, and it should also be a barrier Paladin system that is extremely rare among defenders.

The most important attributes of this career system are endurance and will, while the weakest of the five attributes is agility.

The formation period of barrier paladins is level 7, that is, the next golden stage. They can wear equipment weighing hundreds of kilograms and still move freely. Moreover, the attribute of natural high will also allows them to resist many soul energy magic - of course, in the game, magic resistance is very high, but in reality, many magic are physical damage, so unless they are immune to magic, Otherwise, no one dares to say that he can be safe under the bombardment of magic.

As one of the top five systems in the defender profession, the disadvantage of barrier paladin is that it takes shape slowly, and this disadvantage will be magnified many times in reality.

Because the barrier paladin is in the gap between level 6 and level 7, it can be said to be two worlds.

If you can't step into Level 7, you can never be a strong defender.

Bannock's potential, Sean estimated that it should be almost drained with Jerry, so he was stuck at the top Silver Peak and could not become a real barrier Paladin. Moreover, the barrier paladin is not as powerful as in the game. If he wants to resist magic damage, he also needs magic equipment to resist. That is to say, this class is highly dependent on equipment - in fact, any defender is highly dependent on equipment, which is why the cost of cultivating a defender is not much less than that of cultivating a magician.

In addition, the barrier Paladin also has a hard injury: low damage.

This profession has almost no output ability.

That's why Sean saw that Bannock didn't take any weapons at all. He just carried a shield and carried two huge backpacks.

Anyway, it was a fact that Sean liked Bannock, but he was a little embarrassed to think of making a choice between him and Alfred to invest in someone. In terms of personal emotional factors, of course, he wants to invest in Alfred. After all, he is the first elder to follow his own, and Alfred's growth is also very terrible. Even if he has changed the advanced direction of his career, the magic warrior has the nickname of "Iron Man" in the game, Once this class is formed, it is omnipotent - by drawing different magic patterns on the equipment, you can easily change the various abilities and attributes of magic warriors.

The only drawback is that the driving of these magic patterns needs to consume the fighting spirit of the equiper. Therefore, the more magic patterns you have to draw, the higher the carrying capacity of professionals.

In fact, Sean has a way to solve this problem, that is, to constantly collect materials for Alfred and strengthen his body.

However, from the perspective of the overall situation, investing in and training Bannock is the right way.

Because after the barrier Saint rides up, he is simply an immortal Xiaoqiang. Even in the face of instant death magic, he has very high resistance. Moreover, the biggest advantage is that a barrier paladin of inferior gold strength will never easily fall down even in the face of the bombing of three superior gold giants. In Sean's current territory, even xuefanio can't face the joint efforts of three superior gold giants at the same time.

At this moment, Sean has long regarded Bannock as his own person, without considering that he has not invited Bannock yet. Of course, even if Sean sent out the invitation, it was still unknown whether Bannock would accept it or not.

In this case, two days later, the five people finally came to a place with a sea of blue and red flowers.

When he saw the place, Sean suddenly said, "wait a minute."

For a few days, Sean has never said anything, but has been silently following the people behind. Jerry and Bannock almost regard Sean as a member of their team, rather than an external aristocrat, because they have never seen an aristocrat with such good physical strength, and even have no complaints all the way. Moreover, compared with the particularity of Sean, the young magician surprised them, because as a magician, her physical strength was not weak at all. Although she was still the worst endurance in the whole team, it was also relative to their team.

The Sorcerer's well-known weak physique seems to be completely unreflected in her.

So Jerry and Bannock were surprised when Sean said wait a minute. They were not surprised that Sean finally wanted to say to rest, because they knew it was impossible. Even if all of them were tired, Sean could still maintain strong energy. This is the evidence of the past few days.

But Jerry immediately asked, "Lord Sean, what's the problem?"

"Did the black crystal demon leopard really enter here?" Sean frowned and looked at the sea of flowers in front of him.

"Yes." Jerry and Bannock looked at each other, but Bannock was good at tracking, so it was him who answered, "according to the current clues, we are getting closer and closer to the black crystal magic leopard. I have good reason to believe that the black crystal magic leopard must have been seriously injured When a beast is frightened or injured, he will return to his familiar area for avoidance and healing. "

"I know what you're going to say next. Warcraft evolved from wild animals, so this principle also applies to Warcraft, right?"

"Yes." Although I don't know why Sean said that, Bannock nodded.

"Have you ever entered this sea of flowers?" Sean asked back when he saw Bannock nodding.

"No." The crowd shook their heads.

"I went in." Sean said in a deep voice, "this sea of flowers is a warning line for the gray shadow forest."

"Cordon?"

"We are still in the outer edge of the grey shadow forest. The highest level of Warcraft encountered here is level 3. But this sea of flowers is different. In the depths of this sea of flowers in the gray shadow forest, there is a small lake, which is the place where a group of level five Warcraft live. It's like dying to go in with our strength. "

Level 5 Warcraft, that is equivalent to the strength of upper silver.

If it is a level 5 Warcraft with stronger strength or ferocious point, its combat power is almost comparable to the lower gold of mankind. And level 5 social Warcraft, no matter how powerful it is, its combat effectiveness is definitely more than level 6 Warcraft.

At this time, hearing Sean's words, including Bannock, were stunned.

"It's impossible. The trail of the black crystal demon leopard clearly points here."

Sean looked a little uncertain, and his eyes looking at the sea of flowers were also full of hesitation.

As a rare special Warcraft, the black crystal demon leopard is only a level 3 Warcraft in the evaluation, but its actual strength is comparable to level 4 Warcraft. Once the black crystal is turned, it has the combat effectiveness comparable to level 5 Warcraft. However, every time the black crystal magic leopard blackens, it is a move to burn vitality. Therefore, it is impossible to make such a self mutilation move unless there is a critical situation.

So it's normal that the black crystal demon leopard is active in the activity area of level 4 Warcraft, Sean believes.

Even if it appears in the activity area of level 5 Warcraft, it is not impossible.

But one place is an absolute exception.

That is the sea of flowers.

In the gray shadow forest, the real overlord is not the only level 6 Warcraft, but those level 5 Warcraft located in the depths of the flower sea.

Bipedal scorpion wolf.

This kind of Warcraft, even if the combat effectiveness of the black crystal magic leopard is no matter how strong, it will never be its opponent, because their saliva is very corrosive, which is just the bane of the black crystal magic leopard. Warcraft will have an instinctive resistance to natural enemies, so as long as you smell the smell of bipedal scorpion wolf, the black crystal magic leopard can't approach, but now it's said that the black crystal magic leopard ran into the depths of the flower sea. Isn't it a very suspicious thing?

Sean also killed many black crystal leopards in the game, so he actually knows more about the black crystal leopard than Bannock. Even with the help of the real eye, he can easily find the traces left by those black crystal leopards.

The real eye could never deceive Sean, so he knew that these traces were true.

In this way, of course, Sean also knew that the black crystal magic leopard did escape into the depths of the sea of flowers. So what kind of situation will force the black crystal demon leopard who is afraid of bipedal scorpions and wolves to run into the sea of flowers and hide?

The idea just went around in Sean's mind, and he immediately understood the reason.

Bipedal scorpion wolf is a Warcraft that even Sean is not willing to provoke, so its strength and horror are clear at a glance. The black crystal demon leopard can smell the smell of the bipedal scorpion wolf, so of course there are ways to avoid the attack of the bipedal scorpion wolf, but other people who try to chase the black crystal demon leopard do not know the horror of the flower sea, nor do they know the horror of the bipedal scorpion Wolf. Therefore, once the trace of the black crystal demon leopard is found, and the flower sea is at the outer edge of the gray shadow forest, Then they will break in without fear.

And in fact, it is.

If Sean hadn't stopped them, Bannock would have broken into the flower sea with them. In this case, maybe they didn't find the black crystal demon leopard and became the belly meal of the bipedal scorpion wolf.

Warcraft has certain wisdom, but Sean never thought that Warcraft could also have such cunning wisdom and use the horror of natural enemies to solve the threats to himself.

"What a cunning beast." After understanding the idea of the black crystal leopard, Sean's face became even worse.

There is no doubt that it is definitely a heavily injured black crystal demon leopard. It is even likely that after escaping the siege of others that day, it will encounter several waves of attackers on the road. Otherwise, with the hard skin of the black crystal demon leopard, people will almost misunderstand it is the skin of physical immunity, and it is absolutely impossible to break into the activity range of natural enemies.

But if Sean had to give up the black crystal leopard because of this, he was really unwilling.

After all, the black crystal demon leopard has two kinds of materials that he needs very much at present. As long as he has these two materials and is not too unlucky when he goes to the underground black market of grey shadow forest, he may be able to make two or three gold level magic equipment after returning this time, even with special effect strength, In this way, it is extremely significant for the improvement of the combat power of the whole territory.

At this time, Sean didn't speak, but looked at the sea of flowers. Although Bannock and Jerry didn't know the situation, they didn't say anything, just waited quietly. They are not fools. Seeing that people as powerful as Sean are so scrupulous about the flower sea, they also said that there are level 5 Warcraft living in groups. How can they rush into it.

"Lord Sean..." Jerry hesitated tentatively.

"Hoo." Sean exhaled heavily, and his face returned to peace. "The depths of the flower sea are very dangerous. Even I may not be able to survive But I still want to go in, because the black crystal magic leopard is very important to me. What do you say? "

"This..." Bannock and Jerry looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

They did ask Sean, hoping to work with Sean to solve the problem of dianes. But of course, this premise is also to live. If you can't live, is it necessary to solve diance? Now, they are very clear about the danger in the sea of flowers, and Sean has to go further, which is naturally contrary to their original intention, so of course, they are very hesitant.

Of course, Sean knew the concerns of these people. If he had ignored them at ordinary times, he would have done what he should do. But now he wanted to recruit Bannock. Of course, he couldn't be so casual, so he said after a moment of silence: "if you don't want to go in, wait for me here. It's only one day to go to the depths of the sea of flowers. If I haven't come back in five days, you can leave by yourself. "

Hearing Sean's words, Bannock and Jerry hesitated a little, but nodded in agreement.

It's just five days. It's not how long it will take here. Anyway, they can't continue to chase the black crystal magic leopard. It doesn't matter.

"I'll go in with you!" Cecilia heard that Sean was going to enter the sea of flowers. Although she was worried, she spoke immediately.

Looking at Cecilia with a serious face, Sean wanted to refuse, but at the thought of the purpose of this trip with Cecilia, he no longer objected. In the big deal, if he couldn't do it at that time, he would give up chasing the black crystal demon leopard.

Even if the black crystal leopard is no longer valuable, it must not be comparable with Cecilia in Sean's mind.

And Sean also has enough strength and self-confidence: if he wants to go, the two legged scorpion wolves inside can't keep him.
