Chapter 12: Eve before the siege

Xiangyang is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. The ancient city has complete defense facilities and is also a major transportation area in Jingxiang. It is adjacent to the Taoist resort Wudang Mountain and the legendary Yunmeng Ancient Ze. It is currently the main direction for players to explore. It is very lively.

When they arrived at the Xiangyang City Lord's Mansion, the guards at the door were much more polite and directly brought Ye Yutian into the inner hall, which surprised many players who were living in the City Lord's Mansion outside!

Most of these players came to find the Lord of One City to inquire about the news, of course, they were indispensable to bringing thieves. Several fast-handed thieves quickly used "scouting techniques". Under Ye Yutian's super high attributes, the skills of several thieves were all the result of failure, but only one lucky thief reconnaissed Ye Yutian's name.

"Dark Night Stars!"

This name made the lucky thief's excited hands tremble. Someone on the forum has begun to pay to collect information about Dark Night and Dark Night Stars. His discovery this time will definitely make him make a lot of money, making this thief who is determined to be a news dealer extremely excited, and he will be in trouble!

The system allows players to buy and sell messages and various DEMOs, and they are directly bought and sold with ID. The proceeds are directly merged into the account in the game. In this way, when the game is marked out, the system can charge the handling fee, and you really have to make a profit from anything.

In the inner hall, the lord of Xiangyang City smiled and said, "The New Year beast demon attacked Xiangyang, I wonder how Mr. Dark Ye was going to deal with it?"

Ye Yutian smiled bitterly and said, "I have no clue at all, I can only mobilize all the people to passively defend!"

The Lord of Xiangyang frowned and said, "Brother Dark may not know the focus of the demon attack. This attack is different from a field attack. Instead, the demon leader with powerful magic power directly opened a teleportation array to teleport the demon to the city, and launched an indiscriminate attack on all people and things.

Of course, the priority targets for attacks are different. The priority targets for the New Year Beast attack are the facilities to which the players and the players belong. The defensive power of our cities is to prioritize the protection of important facilities in each city and try to protect players from harm.

In this New Year Beast Attack, the Emperor of the Empire will assess the performance of the city lords in each city and punish the city lords who are not protected properly. Our Xiangyang City is the place where the gangs of the world's number one gang are stationed, and is the first choice for powerful demons. At the same time, the demons will automatically adjust the attack power based on the defense power of each city. Based on the current situation, the capital, Suzhou, Guangzhou, Chengdu and other places will be the focus of the attack.

In our Xiangyang City, the Dark Night Brothers' gang will be the focus of demon attacks. Although the number of players in our Xiangyang is not too large, the number of demons will not appear too many, but the attack strength is the top of each city.

Only by destroying those leader-level demons can the New Year beast not pour into the city continuously. Brother Dark Night, you must deal with this matter well!"

Ye Yutian was stunned. Although the house was destroyed and recovery was just a small change in the program, it was a huge change for his wallet. Besides, if all the brothers in the gang died a few times, how could everyone get stuck in "Rebirth" in the future? But why is the focus of the demon's attack on Dark Night? Did he offend the main system?

He was really guessing it right. The main system has a loot evaluation for all players. Ye Yutian is the player who has obtained the most powerful items at present. If he hadn't been able to use the power of these equipment, he would have changed the color of the world of "Rebirth". Even so, the main system could not stand it. So many updates and changes to Ye Yutian made the main system remember his name, so naturally he would take special care of him.

Ye Yutian shouted: "Master, you have to think of a solution for me. You can't watch the demons destroy our homeland!"

The lord of Xiangyang smiled bitterly and said, "Our NPC actions are fixed. The help I can give you is some telling information. The specific ones will depend on you to solve them yourself! I cannot give you human support, but you can still spend money to buy more advanced guards. In addition, you can also increase some defense facilities to improve the survival rate of players. We are not going to destroy the demons, but as long as the demons retreat by themselves for a certain period of time, they will win!"

Hearing this statement similar to "persistence is victory", Ye Yutian smiled bitterly: "Can the city lord provide the design drawings of the arrow tower in the defensive facilities for the construction of several arrow towers? It is important to know that the starry arrow in the dark night is not empty, and with a bow in hand, you can definitely snipe those powerful demons accurately."

The lord of Xiangyang pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Dark Night, the system gods have regulations for the lords. Xiangyang City cannot adjust the current deployment of troops, but the defense facilities are not subject to this restriction. I can give you the right to make arrow towers, and the level 60 sword-bearing guards you recruited are replaced by the iron armor guards of my lord's mansion. The vacant quota will be charged by the NPC you recruited, so that the total number of troops in Xiangyang will not change, so I can also assign them to the system.

But the most important thing is that this is a defensive task, and it is just that the task rewards are redeemable first. If you fail to complete the task, you will be punished twice. Not only will the arrow tower you built be demolished, but you will also be punished financially. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Ye Yutian pondered for a moment. Now this society is "the bold ones are dying and the timid ones are starving to death." Why not fight hard once and say, "I took this task!"

The introduction of this defense mission immediately appeared in the taskbar. Ye Yutian needed to eliminate at least the leader of the New Year beast that was refurbished within the Dark Night Villa, and to kill more than 700 various New Year beasts within ten days. The system will determine the final achievements based on the ability of the New Year beasts to be eliminated. If you succeed, you will get the arrow tower provided by Xiangyang City for free, and if you fail, you will be punished twice. If you complete the additional task and kill more than a certain number of New Year beasts, Xiangyang City will also give them special rewards.

There are also icons for making arrow towers in the gang building system. At present, Dark Night can only build a first-level arrow tower for 50,000 gold coins. As a defensive building, it will automatically absorb the user's experience. When the completion level is sufficient, it can spend a certain amount of resources to upgrade. Or directly obtain the drawings for building a certain level of building, and then you can directly spend money to build it.

The conditions for upgrading other functional buildings are similar. Life skills buildings also automatically absorb the user's life skills experience and then use resources to upgrade. Administrative gang buildings are automatically contributed by gang members to a certain building experience, and after meeting the conditions, they can use resources to upgrade. Of course, in order to upgrade the gang buildings less boring, the system has corresponding building tasks for all buildings. If players complete it, they can obtain a greater degree of completion, thereby upgrading faster.

Ye Yutian looked at the gang funds with 300,000 taels of silver and gritted his teeth and said, "I will build four arrow towers and leave 100,000 to work capital. What do you think of the city lord?"

The Lord of Xiangyang smiled and said, "Okay, it takes a day to build a defense facility. Master Dark Night Gang please select the specific location as soon as possible. I will replace all the thirty level 60 sword-bearing guards of your gang with iron armor."

Ye Yutian decided to build an arrow tower in each corner of the land in the gang main hall. On the one hand, he could look down at the entire village, and on the other hand, he strengthened the gang's defense. The iron armored guards in Xiangyang City were indeed unusual, with innate attributes two points higher than those of the sword-bearing guards. They were equipped with blood and equipment. They were just the backbone of defense, with thirty level 60 active bunkers to defend, which just exerted the players' powerful attack power of flexible and maneuverableness.

Farewell to the lord of Xiangyang City, Ye Yutian caught up with everyone who went to the top of Tieshan Mountain. The Tieshan in the game is neither majestic nor high, but it is better because the mountains and rivers are beautiful and there is no pollution. The fresh environment makes people feel comfortable. Unlike the sky in big cities, the sky is always gray, and the air is dull and makes people breathless.

Players choose "Rebirth", maybe they have the intention to avoid the real environment.

On the way to the top of the Iron Mountain, there are monkeys with high agility and low attack and low blood attack, which is suitable for the dark night heroes who have certain requirements for group tactics. Fighting in the sea of ​​wolfs in the Hungry Wolf Valley depends entirely on strength and reaction. Although people are also trained, they cannot exert the abilities of each profession like the top of the mountain, and they cannot achieve the purpose of training and cooperation.

The iron ape at level 30, the silver ape at level 35, and the golden ape at level 40 are the main monsters here, mixed with monsters such as wild wolf and black bear everywhere. Although they are not strong, their terrain is complex and they are not easy to come from than the Hungry Wolf Valley.

Feng Kuang led the thieves to penetrate into the monkey group like two sharp knives. Although the thieves were much worse than the warriors' strength and attack power, their combat skills were excellent. There was no problem with each person tangling two or three monkeys.

The big tiger even exerted the powerful power of the mace and blood teeth. With a swing of the big stick, the monkey group scattered and separated like a camp. The soldiers behind him immediately squeezed the monkey group from both sides, causing the monkeys to get distracted. The archers and mages who fell into the center showed their power. Various spells and long arrows fell into the monkey group like rain. A monkey group with thirty or forty monkeys was quickly destroyed.

Ye Yutian happened to see this scene when he arrived. It seemed that after long-term cooperation, everyone had no problem with moving their positions, and they also put some effort into protecting each other. The only problem was that they were too slow. He forgot that there were too many people and could not move faster. How could it be compared with the speed of moving like flying when he was alone?

There were more than thirty people coming today, and Ye Yutian didn't know a few strange faces. He simply used the broadcast function of the gang channel to tell everyone what the city lord just said. The call distance broadcast on the gang channel is within a radius of the initiator in the wild, and it is not restricted by distance in the city. Any player can receive the information conveyed by the gang in the city, so that the gang organization can be convenient for the gang to organize people.

A team with a low average level was led by an honest Justice Swordsman. Several newcomers followed him. Ye Yutian nodded slightly and smiled: "I have a good defense, so I'll be in front!"

Several newcomers looked at Ye Yutian with surprise. Isn’t the boss of the gang the number one archer? Why are you a warrior monster?

Ye Yutian was interested in facing the group of monkeys with higher agility than the silver wolf. The monkeys had low attack power. As long as he was guarding against the throat and the vital points of the man, he would not be fatal to attack. The monkeys had a high attack frequency and could be attacked several times in an instant. Fortunately, with the protection of the dark magic armor, it could not cause any wounds to the body, but he was passively forced to damage at most dozen points.

Everyone was stunned. An archer's defense was higher than that of a blood bull warrior, so this person was too awesome.

Ye Yutian gradually adapted to the attack frequency of the monkey group and adjusted his fighting rhythm. The long sword was like stars and dense rain. He quickly stabbed the throat of every monkey before him, attracting all the pressure of monster attack to him. The only magician behind him used the "qi healing technique" from time to time to replenish his life, and forced a bloody path out of the mountaintop passage of the monkey group, pulling all the two teams to the top of the mountain.

Few people have visited the top of the main peak of Tieshan Mountain. There are various types of monsters here. Demon trees, mountain golems and the more terrifying thousand-year-old tree spirits are all very difficult monsters, especially the thousand-year-old tree spirits. They mainly involve tree roots entangled, stinging, and toxin attacks, and are a very difficult monster to deal with.

Ye Yutian, who was walking in front, suffered a secret loss. The surroundings were full of tall monster trees, which made him not beware of these harmless giant trees, but just paid attention to whether there were refreshing monsters around him.

As soon as he stepped into the range of an extremely tall tree, five or six roots immediately emerged from the ground. Ye Yutian did not take this move and took advantage of his busy schedule to jump back. Several huge marks were drawn out from the ground by several roots, and a protruding rock was crushed.

"What a strong attack power!" Everyone was shocked.

Ye Yutian relied on his keen steps to avoid the attack of the tree roots. Several soldiers who came forward to rescue were immediately entangled by the tree roots and could not move their feet. They could only passively resist the attacking tree roots and branches.

This thousand-year-old tree spirit can attack freely on its body. Any branch is its attack weapon. It really takes as much as possible. Ye Yutian cursed inwardly: "Damn, it's really more powerful than Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed Guanyin. How can it be eliminated with so many claws? Is it not weak? "

Nangong Yanzhi chuckled and said, "Brother Dark Night, I'm here to save you!" The fire balls in his hand were released, burning the roots into pieces of charcoal. The tree body of the thousand-year-old tree demon trembled, and it seemed that he was really angry. Suddenly, a long tree root drilled out of the ground, tugged Ye Yutian behind, and pulled him towards the true body of the thousand-year-old tree demon.

Ye Yutian had not yet responded, and countless branches stretched out from the tree body, instantly wrapped him layer by layer. His whole body was tied firmly by whip-like branches and could not move. An extremely terrifying bloody mouth was cracked on the thick trunk. The branches pulled him towards the mouth where the saliva flowed across the body, which was so scary.

Everyone was so scared that they hurriedly saved people and rushed over crazily. Unfortunately, there were only a few people who had ranged attacks. Only Nangong Yanzhi's fire-type spell could cause great damage to the old tree spirit. Han Qiuyue's ice-type spell was proud of and knocked on the old tree spirit, only a few drops of blood fell, without any effect.

At the moment of crisis, Ye Yutian struggled with his arms. The power of thirty-six points was not a joke after all. He forced a distance of about ten centimeters. When his right wrist turned, the sharp sword blade of Canglang shook out a sword flower, and divided the branches wrapped around his hands into two pieces. The two "swish" swords in his hand cut the branches that tied their bodies and landed on the ground in a mess. His body immediately rolled on the ground, and a thick branch immediately pierced a small pit about a foot deep.

Looking at the crowd coming over, Ye Yutian shouted: "Everything goes back, this tree demon can only strike at a long range!" Without hesitating, the long sword in his hand quickly cut open the branches that tied up several warriors, and pulled several people out of the surrounding tree roots.

But in a moment, the fastest warriors were already injured and their faces were even green. It seemed that they were poisoned. Ye Yewanxing, a level 28 magician, is not a vegetarian. He can get it done with one detoxification, and it seems that his skill level is not low.

The old tree spirit shook the huge tree body and stood up slowly. Nangong Yanzhi used up his true energy, but he consumed a quarter of his blood. Many sheepish trees and mountain puppets behind him also surrounded him. Ye Yutian made a quick decision and said, "Feng Kuang, you bring people to block the monsters behind and leave the night star. Yanzhi and others who can attack remotely come to help me."

As he said that, he pulled out the longbow, and the true qi of Yangyan flowed through his arms like water, gradually concentrated on the iron arrow, and launched a "cloud strike", and an arrow shot towards the big mouth of the tree canopy like lightning.

The tree spirit was also very good at it. A large number of branches waving to block the strange mouth. Ye Yutian's long arrow passed through the blocking of countless branches, staring at the tree spirit's mouth, causing more than 600 damage.

The old tree spirit made a shrill cry, and his body swayed and gradually moved forward. The countless tree roots under his feet drew countless traces on the ground like waves, rushing straight towards Ye Yutian.

"Add blood!" Ye Yutian roared and decided to fight hard. The old tree spirit's strange attack methods make people unable to defend themselves, so it is better to fight hard to exchange for vitality.

Ye Yutian used the fastest speed to shoot out five "Cloud-piercing strikes", and his body had been penetrated by countless tree roots. The old tree spirit learned a lesson, but he just stabbed people and would no longer tie people up stupidly.

Nangong Yanzhi skillfully placed the fireball into the huge mouth of the old tree spirit, forcing the old tree spirit to use the branches containing true energy to disperse the fireball. On the other side, Ye Yutian tried his best to avoid taking medicine, and he also wanted to free his hands to attack wildly. Leng was killing the old tree spirit before it launched the skill stab again.

The old tree monster howled, and the huge trunk immediately withered, and the exposed rhizomes suddenly turned into ashes, and a blue longbow exploded.

A white warm current was injected into Ye Yutian's body at the right time, regaining his ability to move. Thanks to his best equipment, he did not suffer much serious trauma, but the attacks from all directions were so painful that it was unbearable.

Retrieve the longbow back and use the collection technique habitually. The old tree spirit contributed a piece of wood essence heart and five high-quality thousand-year-old iron wood, which made Ye Yutian sigh that it would be easier to make a profit by fighting monsters!
