Chapter 462: Doing Something With Ease
Chapter 462: Doing Something With Ease
Six kinds of Shapeshift: one Level 2, two Level 3, three Level 4, encompassing sea, land, and air entirely.
This Rare Druid Card was as expected not bad. This was also almost equivalent to expanding the Scout route to an even larger scope. This kind of Scout was a top-tier Scout, ah.
Li Wei felt slightly emotional in his heart, then took a look at his own Sanity. This kind of special attribute was very luxurious, but it was just suitable to be used under this kind of circumstance.
Immediately, he consumed ten Free Attribute Points in one breath, raising his Normal Perception from +7 to +12! Adding the extra 2.5 from the Ranger Code, it was equivalent to letting his Perception suddenly soar to its current limit of 14.5!
This was an extremely terrifying value for the current stage.
So the side effects were also quite large. For a split second, Li Wei almost thought he had entered twisted spacetime. Because the minute changes brought about by the explosive increase in Perception were like countless miniaturized Cthulhu Legions launching a fierce attack against him. A dense feeling of exhaustion struck, requiring him to sleep for a few days and nights to recover.
However, Li Wei wasn't worried. Because the next second, several lines of golden messages emerged.
[You seem to have fallen into some uncontrollable Illusion changes, your Perception is soaring. This might bring a weakness buffer period of 3-5 days. Do you want to consume Sanity to alleviate this situation?]
[Explanation: The Sanity attribute is a special attribute. It has excellent effects in restraining Illusions, restraining perceptual center disorders, restraining Mental Shock, and restraining Mind Reading. But after each consumption, the recovery of Sanity requires more time, and requires doing more happy things—for example, appreciating beautiful scenery, beautiful women, eating delicious food, reading some books, or watching the sunrise with one or a few ladies, etc.]
[You consumed five points of Sanity, you are exempted from all abnormalities, your Perception has recovered.]Right, just like this.
The next second, Li Wei blinked at Hathaway, who was still confused and puzzled, and swiftly changed out of his Heavy Armor and put on Five-Star Enchanted Light Armor. Heavy Armor was suitable for battles of scale or above, because there were more enemies, and the fault tolerance rate was also higher.
But for scouting, Light Armor was still more convenient.
In addition, when activating certain larger-sized Druid Transformation Arts, Heavy Armor would cause a slight delay. Only Light Armor was incomparably smooth. However, this also required reserving enough Empty Resource Cards, to facilitate instantly recovering equipment like Armor and Weapons.
The next second, Li Wei walked out of the pale blue Magic Shield, casually walking towards a direction. When passing by a rather tall bush, he completely disappeared from everyone's line of sight.
But this wasn't Li Wei using the Forest Whisper Invisibility Skill that came with the Dawn Ranger Card. This was merely the superb stealth and concealment methods displayed by a top-tier Scout.
Many times, Invisibility Skills were fundamentally not needed to disappear in front of everyone.
Li Wei wasn't in a hurry to investigate the locations of the Stone Trolls, but walked Calm and Unhurried in The Wilds. From time to time, he gathered some medicinal herbs and plants carrying faint Mana. Occasionally he would also stop, grab a handful of dirt, and sense it carefully. He felt that at this moment, he had truly reached the peak of great mastery!
Whether it was the Five-Star Life-Bound Farmer Card, the Four-Star Rare Hunter Card, Four-Star Rare Woodcutter Card, Four-Star Rare Scout Card, One-Star Rare Druid Card, or Third-Rank Dawn Ranger Card, they were all organically combined together. Although the degree of compatibility wasn't completely perfect, it was absolutely above the passing line.
And it was just this passing line that already let him feel his kind of powerful sense of control. Almost as he walked past, the flora and fauna within a hundred-meter radius, the Mana Fluctuation in the soil, as well as various traces and minute details, would reflect in his heart Calm and Unhurried.
Yes, it was no longer the kind that required racking his brains to analyze, to painstakingly remember, to build models—that process consumed Spiritual Power, because these didn't belong to you, you had to actively understand them.
But now it was truly different! Under the passive buffs of various Innate Talents and various Skills, all of this seemingly became a matter-of-course part of Li Wei, his instinct.
That was why it reflected from his heart, fundamentally not consuming Spiritual Power.
This kind of feeling made Li Wei intoxicated, as comfortable as a master touring his own backyard garden.
Therefore, finding those Stone Trolls was just incidental.
One, two... five, seven... ten! Good Heavens, this tribe wasn't small. Among them, there was also a Seven-Star Stone Troll Leader. They were evenly distributed within a radius of fifty li.
And the Stone Troll Li Yue discovered earlier was located right in the center. This was a Trap, ah! A Trap used by the Stone Trolls for hunting prey!
This Trap was also very clever, almost taking care of all the prey's escape routes. So what was meant by 'they were sleeping' and 'they were hard to alarm'? It was clearly that the prey was too small and too few, not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth!
Of course, Li Wei and the others' starting location wasn't so pit-falling; it was situated exactly outside the Trap Zone.
Then under normal circumstances, if someone in the team had experience and recognized the Stone Troll in the center of the Trap, then next, as long as they slipped away Without a Trace in the opposite direction, leaving in batches, they could still smoothly escape. They fundamentally wouldn't come into conflict with these Stone Trolls.
But what if they suicidally thought the environment here was elegant, Mana was abundant, wild vegetables and medicinal herb Resources were extremely plentiful, even having hundreds of Four-Star big trees, and insisted on building a camp here?
After all, the stone exposed on the ground surface of that Stone Troll in the center of the trap was itself comparable to a Four-Star Rock, ah.
Inside this kind of Four-Star stone mine, there would absolutely be Five-Star quality magic cores.
In short, it looked quite good.
Of course, Li Wei still wasn't reassured. He spent a few more hours and roamed around the area within a hundred-li radius completely. He even ran into friendly force David one hundred and fifty li away in the Southwest Direction. This brother did not run over to meet up with Li Wei, but continued marching towards the Southwest Direction, and engaged in a huge battle with an aerial Magical Creature suspected to have Seven-Star Strength on The Hills over there.
Mm, these were all scouted out by Adai. The battle had already lasted for three hours, and nearly a hundred of the Soldiers under David had already died.
However, that Seven-Star Magical Creature was also basically about to be killed.
It could absolutely be handled before evening.
As for why that Seven-Star Magical Creature didn't run away, that naturally was because its nest was on that hill!
So, all starting locations had an opening boss, right? It was just that the strength varied. Wait until around 5 PM, Li Wei finally returned. At this time, a full ten hours had already passed. Everyone on Li Wei's side was squeezed in the pale blue Magic Shield; many people were getting impatient.
Some Soldiers were forcefully holding back from silently complaining, thus causing their Loyalty Level to drop a bit.
But a good meal is never too late, ah.
"I have already investigated the area within a hundred-li radius and have basically confirmed the situation of this Stone Troll Tribe. They have ten in total. One is the leader, strength around Seven-Star. The remaining nine are all Six-Star. And the Six-Star Stone Troll you discovered earlier is a Trap they use to hunt prey! In reality, there is a whole circle of Stone Trolls around! Their locations are as follows."
Li Wei rapidly activated the map that came with the Pioneering Card, forming a projector, and accurately marked the locations of these ten Stone Trolls on it, letting all Soldiers who were squad leaders and above look at it. This point was very important.
"Next, we must end the battle before dark. Because by seven o'clock tomorrow morning, this Magic Shield we are in will disappear."
"Li Yue, is your tactical deployment completed?"
"Yes. We have prepared three tactical plans. Now that we know the number and locations of the Stone Trolls, we can launch the battle at any time."
"Very good. I am Position One. I will go trigger the Trap first, luring out all the Stone Trolls. But it's also possible I won't be able to lure out all of them; these magical races give me the feeling that their IQ is not low. They will very likely hide a few, so we must pay attention to this point."
"And Li Yue, you are Position Two. After I pull the Aggro of the majority of the Stone Trolls, you must appear in time and think of a way to solo-kill one in the shortest time, pulling over a portion of the Aggro! Of course, I will focus on that Stone Troll Leader with Seven-Star Strength! Everyone pay attention: before the Stone Troll Leader appears, you must not Act Rashly!"
"Also, I suspect the Stone Troll Tribe possesses fast long-distance communication capabilities. So I will arrange for Adai to hand over with your Hunting Pets. This will be a massive battlefield with a range of at least sixty li in radius! We absolutely cannot afford Missing a Strategic Opportunity, and even less can we afford to make mistakes!"
"Rouse your spirits! The time has come to prove your strength."
Saying that, Li Wei didn't go and discuss the further details with everyone anymore. He was only responsible for Position One's Aggro and holding the Aggro of the Stone Troll Leader. If it was already like this and the others still couldn't rapidly and effectively annihilate the Stone Troll Tribe, then that would be too lame.
But in reality, that was impossible.
The reason why Li Wei could look down from a high altitude at Li Yue, Hathaway, and the others, was only because he was a bit strong, not because they were weak.
Quickly, Li Wei once again approached that Six-Star Stone Troll right in the center of the Trap. At this time, he summoned his Five-Star Warhorse, and gestured for Adai to go up and pull the mob.
The next moment, the very unnoticeable Adai flew over. In the instant it swooped to the top of that Stone Troll's head, a streak of frost sprayed out like a waterfall! It was as if an invisible Frost Dragon was spraying Frost Dragon Breath! Fuck, Sequence Three Ice Magic?
Adai, this evildoer!
In an instant, the ground within a radius of twenty to thirty meters was covered by frost. And that Stone Troll that had been masquerading as a boulder was immediately enraged! Accompanied by the rumbling of the earth, it crawled out from underground. This was a Stone Troll at least fifteen meters tall, ah!
However, exactly at this time, a Five-Star Enchanted Armor-Piercing Arrow rapidly shot over carrying a magical streaming light illusion! With just one arrow, it blasted open the left arm this Stone Troll used to support its body right from the shoulder joint!
Even if this was hard rock with a diameter exceeding three meters, it couldn't block it at all!
Crushed stones turned into sky-filling hail, splashing everywhere! And that Stone Troll's entire body even staggered backwards because of this! If it wasn't for the fact that its lower half was still in the dirt, it probably would have taken a tumble.
