Chapter 25 Battle Mode

"Lu Yao, Lu Yao?"

Sister Peng reminded me, "Give me a copy of this month's report. They are urging me to submit it."

"Ah, right away."

Lu Yao passed the report over, pinched his nose, and felt a little tired.

"You look tired lately." Sister Peng joked as she printed out the materials, "What's wrong? Are you working on a side job after get off work? Or did you go out to party at night?"

Lu Yao could only vaguely say that he didn't sleep well.

…

Recently is a critical period for the development of the Garlic Tribe. Lu Yao has been staring at the screen and dared not relax.

The tribe took the initiative to destroy the passage in the mountains and cut off trade with the Salt Lake Tribe. The Garlic Tribe needed another passage to contact the outside world.

Theoretically there are three ways.

Go north through the forest and enter the northern world.

Head east across the Dong River and all the way into the East China Sea.

Head south into the desert and reopen the oasis.

Of the three routes, the forest route is the most dangerous. This is what Isabel said.

"Sir, there are forest elemental creatures deep in the forest. Their number is unknown, and some of them are very aggressive. Even if we can open up a path, there may be harassment from elemental creatures at any time, which will pose a hidden danger."

To start water trade and sailing eastwards, better shipbuilding techniques needed to be developed. Canoes could be used for fishing and water travel, but they could not support long-distance sailing. It took time to build larger and stronger ships.

Relatively speaking, the desert is the best choice.

The Bedou tribe has lived in the desert for many years and is very familiar with the environment. The dangers in the desert are sandstorms and bad weather, as well as desert monsters and bandits.

Among the many dangers, desert monsters are the biggest threat.

The so-called desert monster is a giant worm called "sandworm".

It lives underground in the desert. It is as big as a giant earthworm, with a rough, tough and yellow-brown skin. Stones and wood cannot harm it at all. Sandworms hunt camels and also devour and digest various hard stones. They are giants in the desert and an irresistible natural disaster for the Bedou tribe.

The most important thing is what Isabel said to Lu Yao.

"I killed a bug while searching for the Bedou tribe."

Lu Yao suddenly became alert.

——Can you deal with those bugs?

"Sir, do you want to kill them all?"

As soon as Lu Yao heard this, he realized there was hope.

——Hunting sandworms is secondary. The primary goal is to recapture the oasis and open up a passage from the desert to the outside world. Of course, it would be best to reduce the number of sandworms as much as possible.

"Yes, sir."

——Do you need support? "My Lord, the treasures you gave me are enough. These bugs are not difficult to deal with."

——Okay, let’s set off immediately.

…

After getting home from get off work, Lu Yao couldn't wait to sit in front of the computer and locked his view on the desert area.

The desert had been expanded into large new areas, and Isabel found the occupied oasis. Around her were a pile of yellow-brown long worm corpses, with only the upper half of these worms exposed in the desert, looking like the fingers of a giant sticking out from the ground.

The message "In Battle" was displayed above Isabel's head.

Lu Yao clicked on the apostles continuously, and a detailed battle scene popped up immediately. The originally relaxing electronic music also turned into a fast-paced and exciting style.

Isabel in black faced a group of brown bug monsters, but only two of them were still alive. Both sides had their health bars displayed above their heads.

[Isabelle LV15] VS [Sandworm LV10] [Sandworm LV11].

The battle takes on a real-time auto chess mode.

Isabel held a green lightsaber and stabbed the two sandworms repeatedly. One after another, dark green light balls flew out from the lightsaber, tracking and bombing the sandworms.

Lu Yao thought of the description of the Forest Sword's abilities.

Forest Sword Lv1: [Isabelle's exclusive ability] Isabel summons a holy sword to comprehensively enhance combat attributes. The duration and enhancement depend on the ability level and mana.

This green lightsaber should be the holy sword.

It was the first time that Lu Yao saw Isabelle start a serious battle mode. Before, when dealing with the Barbarian Hero, Isabelle only used the steel pipe to kill him, and there was no time for her to use her abilities.

It can be seen that the sandworm is much stronger than the barbarian hero.

Sandworms are somewhat like gophers, able to burrow into the sand and emerge from unexpected directions. They attack by spitting a black venom that can be sprayed over long distances.

It was just that Isabel's movement and attack speed were too fast, and in front of her, the sandworms' attacks landed on her with a long string of misses. And the sandworms had no way to dodge Isabel's holy sword slashes and green light bombardments.

The health bar above the sandworm's head was dropping rapidly, and the health bar of the lower-level one had been emptied, with a [Death] sign displayed above its head.

Lu Yao moved the mouse to the living sandworm.

…

[Sandworm LV11]

HP: 101/220Mana : 16/44Damage : 8Defense : 8Speed: 5 [Avoid Lv5]

Can avoid some damage caused by attacks. Compared with his weak life, this probability is higher.

[Poisoning LV5]

Attacking poisons enemies, dealing damage over time.

…

It turns out there are detailed combat data.

Lu Yao moved the mouse back to above Isabel's head.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

…

[Apostle Lv15] Forest Sword Isabel

HP: 220/224Mana : 271/385Damage : 27Defense : 25Speed : 15 【Wisdom Lv15】

Wisdom is the key for the Apostle to listen to the will of God. The higher the level of wisdom, the easier it is to improve and comprehend various abilities.

【Last Prayer Lv5】（15 mana）

Pray to the Sea of ​​Death to temporarily awaken the sleeping dead and gain their help. The type of dead depends on the ability level and mana.

[Forest Sword Lv1] (100 mana)

[Isabel's Exclusive Ability] Isabel summons a holy sword to fully amplify combat attributes. The duration and amplification depend on the ability level and mana. After the battle, Isabel will create some forest elemental creatures. The number and type depend on the ability level and the strength of the combat target.

…

Lu Yao observed for a while and roughly understood the simulator's combat mechanism.

The simulator simplifies the battle into a way of visualizing numbers and abilities.

Isabel's speed was three times that of the sandworm, so the sandworm's attack could not hit it. However, under Isabel's attack, the number -19 kept appearing on the sandworm.

Lu Yao calculated that Isabel's damage was 27 and the sandworm's defense was 8, so the difference between the two was exactly 19. If there were no special abilities or equipment, as long as the attack could hit, the direct damage caused would be the difference between the damage and defense.

In actual combat, the gap between the basic numerical values ​​of the two warring parties is too large, and there is no ability to restrain each other, so the battle scene is one-sided.

Like a sandworm facing Isabel.

Even if the sandworm's attack hit, it couldn't break the defense, and the result was already determined.

As the health bar of the last sandworm was emptied, the prompt "Battle Over" appeared on the screen.

At this time, Isabel inserted the holy sword into the ground.

Wisps of green light emerged from the corpses of numerous sandworms. These green lights penetrated into the holy sword and gradually twisted into two furry reddish-brown creatures. They were exactly the same level and type.

…

[Striped Lynx LV10] [Isabelle's creation]

HP: 182/182Mana : 55/55Damage : 9Defense : 4Speed : 9 [Quick Strike]

Can attack more frequently.

【sneak】

If you are not discovered while stealthing, the first attack you launch against a creature will definitely result in a [Bleeding] effect, which will continuously reduce the opponent's health.

【Forest Element LV1】

Forest elemental creatures that help the forest grow rapidly and increase all attributes in the forest. The effect depends on the ability level and health.

…

Lu Yao was excited when he saw this.

The Forest Sword finally succeeded once! Judging from its abilities and attributes, the spotted lynx is obviously an assassin, good at ambushes and sneak attacks, with high damage and high speed. Its level is also pretty good.

"My lord, I have a request."

Isabel said: "They are too weak to be of any use following me, but they can protect the humans of the Garlic Tribe in the forest."

"Can we first send all the weak elemental creatures we created back to the forest and let them continue to grow? We can accumulate more of them in the future and use them when they grow up."

Lu Yao thought it was feasible.

Gathering troops to attack in one wave is also a classic tactic.
