As the server's acknowledged top healer, in her previous life, Xia Mo bore countless damages for her kin. However, during a Boss battle, she was betrayed by the person she trusted most, and her...
Chapter 110
The targeted winged people would probably never imagine that they, who were so powerful in the sky, would one day be suppressed by people on land and would have no power to fight back.
Xia Mo didn't care what these winged people were thinking at the moment. She raised her staff and shredded the winged people in her transformation card, turning them into ashes in fear.
Revenge was taken, she breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to catch a winged man to cushion her landing, when she looked down and suddenly saw three orc troops on the flat ground heading towards the south of White Tower City.
A city has four sides, one of which connects to the city itself and is not considered within the attack range. Even so, why did the orcs suddenly send troops to the south? Because the southern defenses are weak?
The first thing Xia Mo thought of was the defense line.
Because Baita City is located to the west of the Royal City, one of the main purposes of the city's establishment is to guard the western continent for the Royal City to prevent foreign invasions. Therefore, the defense line of the west gate has always been the best, while the defensive fortifications in the north and south directions are relatively worse.
But the worst defense line is the northern one. The southern one is actually better than the north. If the orcs are planning to break through the weak points, they should go to the north gate instead of the south gate.
So it’s not a problem with the defense line, but there are other reasons!
Xia Mo quickly grabbed a winged man that was passing by and broke one of its wings. The winged man lost his balance and fell to the ground in a spin in mid-air.
The winged man did not die after landing, and Xia Mo didn't bother to care about its life or death. He jumped off it and headed straight for the south gate.
What exactly is to the south? Xia Mo opened the city map of Baita City as she ran. At a glance, she saw that among the densely packed buildings to the south, there was an eight-story prison building that stood out!
She suddenly woke up.
Yes, Baita City has a large economy, ranking sixth among cities on the mainland, but she almost forgot that this is also the place where criminals who have committed various serious crimes are received!
Once the prison is opened and the serious criminals are released, they will inevitably cause chaos and kill people indiscriminately in the city, and the White Tower City will fall without a fight.
The Orcs played this card very insidiously. If she hadn't seen it in the air, it would have been too late by the time the players reacted.
Xia Mo opened his icy blood, preparing to enter from the west gate guarded by all the players, then run straight through the city to the south gate to stop the orc team.
However, even after accelerating, Xia Mo still felt it was not enough. She was about to drink the purple medicine to add to the effect, but coincidentally, she had finished all the purple medicine!
Xia Mo was speechless. It was all because the battle came too suddenly that she had no time to replenish her potions. She had originally stored a few bottles of purple medicine in her backpack, but they were all used up when she was dealing with the Winged Man just now.
Now that’s good, how can I charge without purple medicine?
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, I saw a person rushing in from the corner of my eye.
"Hey, please give me a [Wings of Will]!" she shouted to the approaching black-clad player.
Black Domain Sky-High Sun's blood jumped. Was he calling him? Didn't he have a name?
Seeing him stunned, Xia Mo became a little impatient and hurriedly urged: "There's something going on at the South City Gate, I have to go over and stop it! Hurry up and buff me!"
[Wings of Will] is a warlock skill that specifically increases the agility of teammates. It is very useful, but also difficult to obtain. Xia Mo remembers that some players complained that the blueprint for this skill could not be obtained from professional mentors, and that it could only be obtained by clearing dungeons, killing elite monsters, mutated elite monsters or world bosses.
"There is a chance" is often synonymous with "slim probability".
Xia Mo knew that most ordinary warlock players didn't learn this.
But is Hei Yu Qing Tian an ordinary person? He is a top-notch local tyrant! If he also did not learn, then it would be unforgivable.
As expected, after she emphasized it again, Heiyu Qingtian raised his hand and threw a [Wings of Will] to her.
Feeling the wind under his feet, Xia Mo was satisfied: "Thank you."
Black Domain Sky-lifting: "..."
When Baita City was attacked, the NPC citizens in the city had already evacuated under the command of the city lord. Some hid in the rooms and closed the doors and windows, some fled to their own cellars and locked the cellar doors tightly, and some did not have time to go home and had to temporarily hide in city buildings such as libraries, post offices, city halls, etc.
Because of the effective evacuation, there was no one on the street, so Xia Mo could run smoothly all the way.
The defense of the South Gate was no match for the surprise attack of three elite Orcish units. Flaws soon appeared in the defense line, and one of the units broke through and rushed into the White Tower City.
The remaining two groups stayed on and under the city walls to buy time for their fellow orcs who were rushing in.
It must be said that their tactics were very clear and the division of labor was also very clear. The NPC guards at the South Gate did not realize at all that the orcs were deliberately delaying. They all concentrated their forces on the city walls and ignored the team of orcs that had already rushed to the prison building.
There were two NPCs guarding the prison building, standing on the left and right. Xia Mo saw that the two men only resisted for a few times before being knocked down by the two orcs.
Seeing that the iron lock at the entrance of the building was about to be cut off, Xia Mo was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He used a single-target skill to break the orc's stone axe. The axe fell to the ground with a clang. Xia Mo also took the opportunity to kick the wall of the nearby house, and like an arrow, he rushed towards the orc who had dropped his stone axe!
While running, she had completed a career switch.
Thanks to the 20% health bonus from the White Tiger Star Officer's [Advanced Strength], Xia Mo didn't worry about his own health for the time being. In the blink of an eye as he rushed forward, he had already thrown out the single-target skills Star Shock and Star Ray in turn.
There are 8 orcs on the opposite side, and each of them has thick skin and strong flesh. It is difficult to defeat them in a short time using group attack skills. Instead, it will be more effective to deal with them one by one.
The orc attacked by her was very angry and wanted to pick up the stone axe on the ground, but the situation did not allow him to bend down.
Because Xia Mo's attacks were so dense, even if he just stretched out his hand, the skills would instantly fall densely on his arm.
No matter how thick the orcs' skin was, they could not withstand such a terrifying attack, and soon the first orc fell.
It all happened so fast that the orcs next to them didn't react. By the time they realized that there was an annoying human disturbing them, Xia Mo had already strode to the side, leaving them nowhere to catch him.
The orc glared at her angrily, not wanting to get entangled with her, so he turned around and started breaking the lock again.
Xia Mo took another step forward and used a series of skills to interrupt the orc's unlocking process.
This time the orcs were completely enraged, and they rushed towards Xia Mo, waving their weapons.
Xia Mo relied on her small size and nimble movements to move flexibly among the huge orcs. At the same time, with a snap of her fingers, the divine beast Jingjing descended from the sky to help her.
Jingjing's body was bigger than before, and when it was on all fours, it was almost as tall as the orc. Xia Mo turned over and rode on it, directing Jingjing to attack to the left while holding the orc on the right to prevent them from going back to unlock the door.
I have to say that the attack of the divine beast is really not to be underestimated. In addition, Jingjing has his own [Combo] talent. Even an orc with thick blood can't withstand a big slap from it.
Soon, two orcs fell to the ground one after another.
At the critical moment, Xia Mo wanted Jingjing to keep going, but Jingjing under her suddenly became unhappy. Its hair stood up and its back shook vigorously, as if it wanted to throw her off.
This was not the first time Xia Mo had seen it like this. When he had called it out to stretch its muscles before, it had suddenly gone berserk once.
She didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking it was an accidental situation. However, when it happened again this time, Xia Mo felt that she couldn't let it continue to rage, so she quickly took it back to the panel.
Seeing the beast disappear, an orc swung a stone hammer at her. Xia Mo ducked to avoid it, went around behind him, then climbed onto his hard and thick back, changed her weapon to a knife, and cut the orc's throat with a "swish".
Star Officers are not suitable for close combat. In close combat, they are only useful against giant monsters like giant skeletons that cannot immediately counterattack. Therefore, when facing several orcs nearby, changing weapons is the best strategy!
But her throat-slitting move just now was actually an assassin's ultimate move. Assassins kill with one strike, and it's almost impossible for other professions to achieve the same effect. But she could do it. Why?
Because she had fallen 100 times in PK with assassins. After falling, she stood up, observed, and then used the opportunity to her advantage.
At what angle should the dagger be drawn, how much force should be applied to the handle, and where should the blade be placed... these are all things that non-assassin professions must learn if they want to learn the throat-slitting technique.
She fought hundreds of battles in the arena just to make sure she had no weaknesses. Even if she chose the long-range magic system in this life, she would never forget the things that were engraved in her bones.
Jumping down from the orc whose throat was cut, Xia Mo twirled the dagger and rushed to the back of another orc with sparks and lightning. With a flick of her hand, she cut the orc's throat from the side.
Without a trace of hesitation, she slashed back again after succeeding. In her hand, the ordinary dagger became like a scythe of death from hell, killing whoever she saw.
In the blink of an eye, only one person was left of the orcs' elite troops.
Xia Mo took a look at his equipment. It was the best among all the orcs, and he was also the tallest. He guessed that he was a captain or something like that, and his strength was stronger than the previous one.
Xia Mo became cautious, spun the dagger in his palm, started to push off the ground, and rushed towards the opponent!
The other party seemed to have anticipated her charge and dodged to the side at a remarkable speed, grabbing her wrist which was obviously much thinner.
The dagger missed, and Xia Mo thought to himself that it was not good. He immediately took advantage of the momentum of being caught, stepped on the orc's legs to gain leverage, and swept his right leg towards his face!
This kick did not cause any substantial damage to the orc, but the orc was kicked and the strength in his hand loosened. Xia Mo immediately pulled it back, and after landing, he took advantage of the opponent's lack of recovery from the kick and slashed him with another knife!
But the orc leaned to the side at an angle, and her knife missed again!
Unexpectedly, this guy was so good at close combat. Xia Mo decided not to compete with him in something he was not good at. He pretended to jump back and prepared to change his weapon back to the Star Staff.
However, the other party seemed to see through her intention. When she was about to jump back, the other party suddenly rushed in front of her and removed her right arm on the spot!
[Right arm disabled! Speed -5%]
This came so suddenly that even Xia Mo herself didn't realize it. She raised her left hand, ready to block him back with the knife.
But in the next second, the orc grabbed him by the waist and lifted him above his head.
The other party was going to throw her to death!
Xia Mo was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He instantly clamped the orc's neck with a scissor kick, then swung his body and threw the orc to the ground.
She took the opportunity to get up, but the orc under her grabbed her left leg and pulled it back hard, causing her to fall to the ground.
[Left thigh disabled! Speed -5%]
Damn, it’s such a disadvantage for humans to fight orcs in close combat with their strength!
Xia Mo changed back to the Star Staff and planned to fight him!
But the orc stood up before her, stepped on her back and crushed her hard.
Xia Mo only felt that her chest was flattened, and countless air was squeezed out of her lungs. She could hardly breathe.
Is she going to die just like that? This is too frustrating! After all, she is the top expert on the list, how can she die at the hands of a mere orc!
Xia Mo gritted his teeth, feeling unwilling.
Enduring the difficulty in breathing, she twisted her spine with difficulty and tried to aim the star staff at the damn orc.
The white tiger cloak on her back caught her eye at this moment, and Xia Mo's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she seemed to understand why the task required her to fight the white tiger in close combat when she was in the second trial to unlock the hidden profession.
It was to allow her to adapt to close combat with her body that was good at long-range combat, and also to allow her to keep her mind steady, hold her weapon tightly and continue fighting even when she was injured in close combat and was tortured and obstructed in various ways.
Fight, fight until only the last second of your life remains, and never give up!
The scene of fighting with the White Tiger automatically emerged in her mind. In that gray space that forced her pain sensitivity to 100%, Xia Mo recalled the pain she had suffered.
Compared to the pain that made her eject from the holographic pod, what was the pain of just crushing her chest?
Xia Mo put his chin on the ground and just smiled.
After laughing, she seemed to have figured something out. The star staff in her hand disappeared, and was replaced by the inconspicuous dagger again.
The trial taught her to endure pain, but it also taught her a truth: the so-called melee and ranged are just a simple classification in the game. As long as you are determined and willing to endure the hardship, any ranged player can become an excellent melee fighter!
The blade roared like a tiger and stabbed into the orc's ankle that was stepping on her.
The orc felt pain and subconsciously loosened his legs. Xia Mo instantly pulled himself away and got up from the ground.
"You can't break my prison unless you crush every bone in my body."
