Of course, Dafei's journey would not stop because of these rats. Dafei finally understood what the Cynocephali's Staff of Arsonist was for. Let's use it!
— System Notification: You have used the Cynocephali's Staff of Arsonist. Your troops will receive the Flame Cloak effect, dealing 3 fire damage per second to enemies in close range. There is also a chance to inflict a burning effect on enemies.
In that instant, Dafei's troops were enveloped in a circle of faint flames on top of the green glow.
3 points of fire damage was nothing to the Advanced Soldiers who had magic resistance, but to the Level 1 and Level 2 Soldiers who had around 10 HP, it was a terrifying additional damage, not to mention these tiny mice. How much HP could these rats have?
The battle began. The rats around the tunnel let out ear-piercing screeches. From the water, the walls, and the ceiling, they launched suicidal attacks on Dafei's troops. Countless rats died in the flames, but even so, the rats still broke through the barrier of flames and crawled all over Dafei's troops, dealing damage to them.
After all, the Flame Cloak only dealt 3 damage per second, not all the time. It was still unable to stop the rats' continuous and seamless attacks. But it did not matter. With the Lizard God Staff, Serbia's healers, and the Flame Cloak, it was only a matter of time before the rats were wiped out. Under normal circumstances, once these small animals crawled all over them, it would be over. In other words, without this Fire Cloak, he would not have been able to come here! Perhaps, Catalina's sudden words were not an explosion of intelligence, but a plot event triggered after the Fire Cloak was started? It seemed that this sewer was not just any ordinary sewer!
As he was sighing, a black light suddenly shrouded the troops!
— System Notification: Warning! Your troops have been afflicted with the "Super Black Plague" status. Your troops' stamina, damage, and HP will continue to decrease! [Plague may spread to other players. Duration unknown!]
Dafei's eyebrows jumped! What! Black Plague? The legendary Super Black Plague that killed tens of millions of people in Europe during the Middle Ages? F * ck! These rats were actually not just a simple Rat Sea Tactic. There was a hidden meaning behind it! It could even spread to other players? What a pain in the ass setting! Well, this was a normal setting. If the plague was not contagious, would it still be called the plague? More importantly, what did this unknown duration mean? You're going to make me suffer until I die, right?
As expected, the attributes of Dafei's troops were marked in red, and they continued to drop!
Dafei hurriedly asked Serbia, "Can it disperse the plague?"
Serbia shook his head. "I'm not a doctor, but I can do my best to keep the troops alive."
So that was how it was. In the end, there was still a difference between a doctor, a priest, and a nun. Magic could never replace medicine. Although he could maintain his HP, his damage and Stamina couldn't be recovered. Without Stamina and damage, how could he fight the final boss? When your stamina reaches 0, you can't even walk!
En! Wait a minute! There was a more serious problem. What about the Banshee troops? They were dark creatures, and Serbia had no way to heal them. Did they have to rely on the Lizard Staff?
At this time, Catalina spoke again, "Lord Commander, encountering a plague at sea is a very common thing. As long as you successfully endure it, it will be very difficult to be infected next time."
Sweetheart, are you comforting me this time? How could there be a next time?
En! Wait! Sailing? Damn, I still have an ultimate move! Dafei immediately took out the Seafarer's "Extreme Survival" skill book that Old Kurtner rewarded him. Finally! It's finally time to show up! I still have one skill point left!
— System Notification: You have spent 1 skill point to learn the Seafarer's "Extreme Survival" sub-skill.
— Extreme Survival: Greatly increases the survivability of your troops under the conditions of hunger, disease, and fatigue.
What was Extreme Survival? The great navigator Magellan, when he crossed the Pacific Ocean for the first time in human history, had no water or food. At that time, humans had no idea how wide the Pacific Ocean was. Of course, that was only in terms of fighting against hunger.
There was a very famous example of the Survival of Extremes related to the plague in history. That battle was related to the fate of the Spanish Empire.
In the 15th century, when the Spanish colonists explored South America, they were stunned by the richness of the land. However, they quickly discovered that there was already an ancient Inca Empire there. It had a population of millions and hundreds of thousands of young men who could fight. At that time, the Spanish guns did not have an absolute advantage over the spears and arrows. Moreover, the Spanish fleet added up to less than a thousand people. It was simply impossible to conquer such a huge empire on such a distant shore.
However, a miracle occurred. The plague spread throughout the Inca Empire. It was a plague carried by the colonists themselves. To the colonists who wandered the sea for a long time, the plague was no longer a threat. They could not even feel its existence. However, to the Inca Empire, which was encountering the plague for the first time, it was tantamount to a catastrophe of the Grim Reaper. What was even more tragic was that the ignorant Incas did not know how to use quarantine methods to minimize the harm caused by the plague. In a short span of three months, the death toll of the Inca Empire, which had a population of millions, exceeded 90%!
The sudden and shocking change made the depressed Spanish colonists ecstatic. The only thing they did was to burn the mountains of corpses village by village.
With the strength of less than a thousand people, the Spanish effortlessly conquered a huge empire with a population of millions in a short span of three months. They were far ahead in the tide of colonization by the big powers and laid a solid foundation for the later development of the Spanish. Even the plague helped the Spanish, giving the Spanish a strong self-confidence as the "Kingdom of Destiny". It had a profound impact on history.
In short, the Extreme Survival skill was the nemesis of the plague. It was definitely an extremely powerful skill! At this time, after learning the Extreme Survival skill, the decline of the army's stamina suddenly slowed down! Under the protection of the healing skills, the decline of their health was completely stopped!
Dafei let out a long sigh of relief. At least they were temporarily holding on! Fortunately, I encountered the plague. If it was an ordinary player who came here, even if they were not eaten to death by the rats, they would still die from the plague. Alright, it seems that the players who can come here are not ordinary, but I don't believe that anyone can be more powerful than me!
Could it be that before coming here, I have to kill a few more bosses and get some immunity to the plague? This is the only possibility, otherwise there is no way to fight. In other words, there are still wild monsters hiding in the dark, waiting for me to clear the area. If even a group of rats is so powerful, then what about the predicted final boss? It must be so strong that it can't be easily dealt with with just brute force, right? In other words, I am not invincible in my current state. Do I still have to clear the entire sewers according to the original plan?
While he was thinking, the attack of the rats became slower and slower. Finally, the last batch of rats was burned to death by the Flame Cloak.
— System Notification: Battle won! You have defeated the plague rat group, obtained competition reward + 500,000 EXP.
— System Notification: You are currently in the plague state. If you can completely overcome the effects of the plague, or collect 10 Hero's Proofs while in the plague state, you will obtain competition reward achievement "Plague Antibody": Maximum stamina of troops + 5%, maximum health of troops + 5%, effects of the plague on troops reduced by 50%. The competition reward will be sent to your account after the competition.
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. This is the reward for defeating the rats? Catalina was right. As long as I can survive, I will get a reward! So, Katerina was actually acting as a commentator for this tournament?
Speaking of which, this achievement was quite good. 5% was not that significant for low-level soldiers, but it was better than nothing for high-level soldiers. However, the key was that it had the special effect of slowing down the spread of the plague by 50%. For a navigator like me, it was perfect! In short, with my awesomeness, it doesn't matter if I can survive or advance. This achievement is in the bag! Hm, this is a good achievement, a lifetime of benefits, hmph hmph.
Wait a minute! This plague is obviously targeted at living creatures, right? If there is an undead player, or a player with an elemental army, a mechanical army, or a spiritual army, wouldn't it be easy for me to get this achievement? F * ck! This is too unfair! If this is the case, not only will it not show that I am awesome, it will make me look like a complete idiot!
No, it can't be that easy. The rules of the game must be fair. If there is a non-living creature, there must be a monster that can restrain it. Of course! There is definitely more than just rats here. There are too many wild monsters waiting for me to clear the field, waiting for me to drop a godly battle, and then the final boss will drop a hero's proof to send me off!
Time is tight. I must continue to move forward along the river, hurry.
。。。。。
In the Tatazu Liberty Wings command center, the professional players were observing the situation in the arena.
Kim Xiyong and the other two coaches began to slowly replay the video of the match between Li Yinzhu and Dafei.
For professional players, studying the video and the damage data of both sides were compulsory homework. From the damage data, they could estimate the opponent's military strength, special skills, hero skills, attack and defense, and so on. From the preliminary analysis of the data, it was concluded that the strength of Dafei's army was beyond imagination! It was stronger than the superheroes of any country's team in the world.
Li Yinzhu's loss was not undeserved. Even if this Dafei did not sit in the street, Li Yinzhu would not be able to take him down easily. After all, urban warfare restricted Dafei, and also restricted the large size of the unicorn.
Suddenly, Pu Dongxun rubbed his eyes. "Wait! Rewind the video to the last three seconds of Little Zhu's defeat. I think I saw something strange. "
Kim Xiyong paused the video. "What's strange?"
Cui Yonghao's eyes widened. "This Dafei looks like he is sitting on something?"
Kim Xiyong suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Manhole cover! The manhole cover of the sewer! No wonder he is in such a posture. He is opening the manhole cover to the underground city! Crazy, this is crazy! "
Pu Dongxun said in shock, "But from the internal information circulated by the committee, to open the manhole cover, you need to kill the BOSS on the street to drop a tool. Could it be that he can open the manhole cover without tools?"
Kim Xiyong said in a low voice, "That's possible! From the special effects of his artifact, anything is possible! "
Cui Yonghao said in a low voice, "Won't we know if we go and take a look? Which player from our country is in the arena? "
Pu Dongxun's face twitched. "Li Minhao, the world champion and three-time champion, the most popular superstar of our national team, why would he listen to retired old fogeys like us?"
Cui Yonghao smiled coldly. "With his temper, it is easy to make him listen. Just say that the amateur player Dafei is in the sewer and ask him if he dares to abandon the big unicorn and chase after him."
Kim Xiyong laughed. "What if Dafei did not open the manhole cover? Does he think that we are messing with him? "
Cui Yonghao said coldly, "Isn't that better? Just say that we found the manhole cover and let him open it if he can. "
Pu Dongxun smiled sinisterly. "Say, if they really meet in the sewer, who do you think will win?"
Cui Yonghao said calmly, "Out of the interest and honor of our national team, of course I hope that Li Minhao can win. But out of consideration for the growth of young people, I really hope that an amateur player can destroy his arrogance! "
