Chapter 834 The Gods' Game: Card Swapping 78
Moonlight Wetlands offers geography lessons that not only introduce the cities and landscapes of Astrana, but also the most dangerous places in each city and the customs to be aware of.
As they got further and further away from Draenor and closer to the glacier, Yu Xunge realized where Wailing was taking her.
The address that Wailing had once given her—Starry Glacier.
As the hailstones blew onto her, a chill swept over her, and she felt her limbs instantly stiffen.
Her health points didn't decrease, but she gained a negative effect—[Slowed Perception: Casting speed, movement speed, reaction speed, and perception decrease by 30%]
A very peculiar debuff, it doesn't reduce her agility, but directly affects her combat-related abilities.
She turned to look at Zhu Ri and found that the latter remained expressionless. When he saw her looking at him, he returned her a nasty, mocking smile: "Newbie."
Yu Xunge already had a premonition that he could learn something good from following the wailing.
Wailing's teaching efficiency is much higher than that of Chasing the Sun. Back then, after Chasing the Sun sold off the fat goose, he taught her skills for 3 days and then threw her into the arena. Now, Wailing rides a dragon and takes her directly to the training ground.
This is an endless ice field, on which lie tens of thousands of white worms, the largest of which are over 7 meters long and the smallest are over 3 meters long.
The Star Dragon did not land; it hovered above the ice plains, carrying dwarves, elves, and humans.
Without any pleasantries, Wailing immediately began his course introduction: "Cherokee Worms, every Cherokee Worm has a fatal weakness. Apart from this fatal weakness, with your current strength, you cannot damage them by attacking anywhere else, no matter what skills you use."
"The location of each Cherno Worm's fatal weakness is different, and even an SSS-level detection skill cannot find it. You need to observe and find it yourself in battle."
Wailing tossed over three top-tier healing potions and continued, "You are prohibited from using your skill that allows an attack on the same target to only take effect once. There are no other restrictions. Every time the Cherno Worm hits a target, it will absorb 2% of the target's health to heal itself."
"Your task today is to kill 30 Cherno worms before 9 p.m., and double that tomorrow."
"For the sake of breakfast, here's a tip: cherish every opportunity to make a move."
Yu Xunge carefully put away the healing potion and asked, "What if it can't be completed?"
"If you don't finish, you'll rest here for the night. Your task then is simply to survive. Of course, you can use any skill after 9 PM. I'll be praying for you at home." The Wailing's teaching philosophy is similar to that of Sun Chaser: either learn something and survive, or just die.
Seeing that Zhu Ri's foot was already raised and about to kick her down, she hurriedly raised her hand and shouted, "I have two last questions!"
"explain."
"The first question is, to what extent is this course considered complete?"
"Deal with a Cherno worm in 10 seconds."
"Secondly! How long did it take you to complete this course back then?"
Zhu Ri laughed, then kicked her down with his long legs.
Yu Xunge discovered that even his flight movements had become much slower, and even his light wings, which were normally immune to skill attacks, were now affected!
She could only struggle to adjust her body and slow her descent. From the Starry Sky Dragon in the sky came a cheerful voice: "I only used 7 days."
The gusts of wind whipped up by the Starry Sky Dragon's flight blew Yu Xunge, who had just managed to steady himself, into rolling several times in the air.
Sitting in the Howling Castle, she drank her own fruit wine every day—she worried that if she drank anything here, the bill would add another item.
There was a brief silence in the room before Zhu Ri suddenly said, "You arranged courses for her without teaching her anything."
"She's already learned three Sun Chasing skills, isn't that enough?"
"Don't you have some kind of monitoring skill on hand? Just in case something unexpected happens."
"I have a resurrection skill now."
He shut up every day.
Wailing: "You pay for the resurrection materials, it's not much, only 8 million gold."
Zhu Ri suddenly stood up and disappeared from the spot.
A groan escaped his lips: "...Tsk."
…
On the ice plains, the apprentices are fighting against the Cherno worms. The greatest advantage of this race is probably that they don't care about the life or death of their own kind. No matter how the fight goes, as long as they are not affected, the other Cherno worms will not come to help attack them.
Even so, the young apprentice was in a very sorry state.
Her reactions were always a few beats slower; her mind wanted to dodge, but her body couldn't keep up.
To complete an attack, you must learn to anticipate, but that's only the first step. You also need to find its weaknesses through constant probing and observation.
Having accomplished both of these, we still need to complete the final attack.
What the apprentice didn't know was that once it realized its fatal weakness had been discovered, the Cherokee worm wouldn't run away; it would simply go berserk, relentlessly killing the target who had discovered its weakness, and the life it absorbed with each attack would increase from 2% to 20%.
The reason why Xun Ge cherishes every opportunity to attack is precisely because of this characteristic. Once a weakness is discovered, it is best to strike immediately, otherwise the difficulty of the second strike will increase many times over.
Predicting attacks, observing weaknesses, cherishing every opportunity to strike, and avoiding doing anything useless in battle—these are all things Xun Ge needs to learn.
Cherokee Worm is indeed the most suitable opponent for Seeking Song, and Star Glacier is also the most suitable map for her current training stage.
But she didn't whine about being rich and powerful. Every living Cherno Worm was a top-grade potion ingredient, which could sell for 2,000 gold coins each, while dead Cherno Worms were unwanted for not a single silver coin.
This reminded her of when she was a child and was brought here by Wailing, before this place belonged to Wailing.
Although Wailing had a perfect hand of seven at that time, she was still very poor because of that Starry Sky Dragon.
In order to allow her to train with the Cherokee Worm, Wailing led her all the way to the vicinity of this ice field, hid her in an ice cave, and then ran here to steal a live Cherokee Worm to take back to her for training.
She can still vividly recall the dwarf's triumphant return, dragging back a Cherokee that was many times her size.
"Little Chaser, look what I brought you!!"
Like mature birds that go out to hunt insects and come back to feed their newborn chicks.
Later, Wailing earned gold coins and bought the Starry Glacier, but she rarely came back.
The small, clumsy figure on the ice field reminded her of when she had just been brought out of Karadom, and also reminded her of herself many years ago.
…
When the Cherokee went berserk for the first time, Yu Xunge was so frightened that he almost shouted "Chase the Sun".
It took her most of her efforts, including using two school rules, to kill just one Cherokee worm.
Because it's immune to any crowd control abilities...
If she has to use the two school rules with a 15-minute cooldown every time, then in the best-case scenario, she can only kill 3 rules per hour—after all, it takes her a lot of time to find the fatal weakness, and this is the most troublesome part.
At this rate, there's no way we'll finish the Wailing task before 9 PM...
