Chapter 477 - Armored Werebear (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Werebear Crossroad was originally quite a bustling town, [Misha Town]. Baili Xuanyuan had spent a huge amount of money to increase his support rate to 100%. It would be wrong to assume that the money spent was wasted as when one’s support rate in a town reached 100%, one would be able to make two or fewer policies and enjoy part of the earnings of the facilities in town.
When those policies proved to be useful to the development of the town, it would also increase part of one’s support rate and weaken the mayor’s support rate accordingly. When the mayor lost all support, then one would be able to seize the city peacefully and directly obtain all the earnings of the town.
However, this town had lost quite a number of its forces during the battle with Supreme Tribe, and so coincidentally, they encountered the attack by the Werebears. Therefore, the town was completely taken over and became the monsters’ nest. That was also one of the reasons why Baili Xuanyuan was extremely enraged against Baili Changcheng.
At such a moment, the Werebear Crossroad could be said to be packed. Thousands of Werebears lined up orderly and let out roars. Their fur was pure white, and they wore thick and heavy armor. Their hands, on the other hand, were forged into bladefists with steel—these bladefists provided them with a 20% Armor Ignore effect.
In that crowd of Werebears, there was an enormous Werebear, which stood out. That was a Gold Boss, [Werebear Section Leader]. Its fur let out cackling sounds as lightning snakes slithered around, and it occasionally let out an angry roar, which formed a lightning bear head.
[Armored Werebear] (Elite)
Level: 55
Health Points: 120,000
Attack: 938-1,231
Defense: 700
Special Feature: Werebear Armor (Ignores 20% Defense, Reduces 10% Damage)
Both Werebears and the Munjo Ogres inside the Blade Peak Canyon were all Level 55 living creatures, but their strength couldn’t even be compared! That was the difference between hidden maps and normal maps, the disparity in the attributes of the monsters was huge. However, there were too many Werebears, so if they all attacked at once, then with just Savage Blade alone, they would not be able to last. As the saying went, “Even elephants could be bitten to death with enough ants1.” Not to mention, these “ants” were all actual Level 55 Elites.
“Bu Yi, have you learned the skill Banish?” asked Lin Jie.
“I’ve learned it.”
“Star Kill, you should have channeling materials to enhance Stealth Hit, right?”
Star Kill nodded. He took out a wooden stick, which was filled with spikes, like a spiked club, and then he put up an act and adopted an arrogant posture. He shook his leg and held the spiked club on his right hand, then he knocked it onto his left palm and grimaced in pain, nearly throwing the spiked club away.
Lin Jie could not help but laugh. He stretched out his hand to make a few marks on the map. “There are too many monsters here, and when Werebears run towards their enemy targets, they would have a 30% Movement Speed enhancement, so kiting them won’t be a suitable method. Our team’s AOE ability is very powerful, so why not let’s just farm them in the numbers? Take note of the places I marked, there is a town ruin there, which has collapsed quite a bit. We will make use of that place’s terrain to create box-out spots, leaving at most 3 units of monsters to attack. Then Bu Yi will activate Banish for one, Star Kill will stun one using Stealth Hit, and Mixed Breathless will tank the attack of one. The rest of us will directly attack the back.”
“I don’t think such a plan is all that reliable. The buildings here almost all collapsed. If the monsters attack, I think the buildings will all be directly trampled flat,” said Baili Changcheng.
“I can arrange for the Mechanical Gargoyle to use its wings to cover the buildings, and with Bu Yi’s regen and my Contract Healing, there should be no problem taking the damage.”
Lin Jie exclaimed, “Okay, then we’ll go with this plan. Childe, you go and attract the monsters. Although it is not a good thing that monsters are attacking the City of Light, it is definitely a good opportunity for us. Only when the monsters attack the city would those old things that grasped the knowledge of their tribe’s secret come out. By killing them, we can obtain good items that we won’t be able to get normally.”
Childe nodded and handsomely carried his longbow onto his back. His longbow had two bowstrings so he could simultaneously shoot two arrows. He walked, stopped, and walked again repeatedly to find a suitable angle for him to shoot.
He found a spot, stood upright, and placed two Explosive Arrows onto his bowstrings before pulling his bow fully, forming a full moon! The instant before he shot, Childe flung his bow vigorously, and one could only see two rays of red light were shot towards completely different directions!
Boom— Boom—
The powerful point of the Explosive Arrow was its attacking range, but as for its damage, it was quite pitiful.
Roar—
Werebears let out ferocious roars and went on all fours, charging towards Childe vigorously! The Werebears looked clumsy, but their Movement Speed was exceptionally fast. Childe unconsciously used Freeze Traps, he jumped after activating them and charged towards the destination.
The Werebears stepped into the Freeze Traps, and the ground was instantly covered with a layer of thick ice. The Werebears’ Movement Speed was decreased.
Within the team, Bu Yi and Star Kill were already ready to play their roles. Bu Yi kept on chanting prayers—that was one of the special features of Priests and Paladins. When they used the “praying” method to activate their skill, it belonged to a devout prayer, and thus the effects of the skill would be increased by 10%. However, the channeling speed of chanting prayers was slower than channeling skills normally. Hence, as to which one one would choose to use, it was up to the individual’s decision.
Banish was the exclusive skill of Priests. It was the same as the Paladin’s Repent, it would cause an enemy target to lose all of their battle powers and stand at their spot as their soul would be banished. The upper limit of the time Banish could last was 1 minute, and it would decrease according to the target’s Resistance.
Star Kill held onto the wooden stick in his hand tightly. As the game developed, the importance of channeling materials was already deeply ingrained. Besides poison, another essential item that Bandits needed was all kinds of wood, whetstone, and so on… That stick was Wolf’s Tooth Wood and not real wood.
In the Wolf’s Tooth Valley, Wooden Demons would kill wild wolves, which passed by them, and absorb the corpses. The Wooden Demons would then gradually change their physique, forming the Wolf’s Tooth Wood. It could increase the time Stealth Hit lasted by 20 seconds, and the next attack would definitely cause a Bleeding effect.
“They’re coming!”
The army of Werebears charged towards them, and Zheng Ziliang immediately commanded the Mechanical Gargoyle to fly up into the sky and spread out its wings to protect the buildings. The Defense values of the Mechanical Gargoyle currently were extremely powerful—various effects such as Titan’s Heart had not been activated yet. Each time Zheng Ziliang remodeled the Mechanical Gargoyle, part of its potential would be unleashed, and after a long period of time, that Mechanical Gargoyle was able to overpower most normal players.
