Even though Ye Ci could be considered to be a master of fate, she still could not remember many things clearly due to the passage of time between her previous life and this life. Just like when the mayor of Dark Clay City asked Ye Ci to look for the abandoned altar. She felt that there was something mysterious about the altar, but she could not recall what it was.
However, she did not want to dwell on this matter. Since she had accepted the quest, she would go to the destination first. If there was something wrong with the quest, she would think of a solution at the last minute. What was the point of playing a game if she had to grasp everything? How was it different from writing a computer program? Dry and boring. Wasn't the most interesting thing about a game because of its unpredictability and the suddenness of various situations?
Things that even a reincarnated person like her could not grasp were the most exciting things for her. Because she did not know what would happen to her. Would she reap great benefits or die?
Ye Ci could not help but feel a little excited when she thought of such a situation. She thought that she was already bored by the routine of life and the game. Suddenly, something like this popped up out of nowhere.
Ye Ci followed the quest's instructions and ran towards the northeast corner of the Swamp of Sorrows. Along the way, there were still many players. However, as Ye Ci approached the northeast corner, the number of leveling parties decreased. Before she even reached the northeast corner, there were already no more leveling parties. Ye Ci stopped in her tracks. She rode on the back of the Fourth Prince and quietly observed her surroundings.
The vegetation here was much denser than the other parts of the Swamp of Sorrows. Most of the vegetation in the Swamp of Sorrows was low shrubs, moss, and all sorts of weeds. However, it was different here. There were many tall trees here, and the canopy of the trees was very dense. When he looked up, he couldn't see any light at all. The only thing that flowed out from the bushes was the smell of rotten branches and leaves that was unique to the forest. This smell slowly filled Ye Ci's nose. It seemed to be quietly releasing an unknown danger.
"The Fourth Prince, what's inside?" It was rare for the Fourth Prince to be so quiet. He wasn't impatient and just stood quietly under Ye Ci like a tamed cat. Ye Ci's slender fingers gently brushed against the rough skin on his neck. Her voice was almost inaudible, and he didn't know if she was asking herself or the Fourth Prince.
It was extremely quiet here. Perhaps it was because it was too quiet, but Ye Ci could hear the sound of the parasitic plants growing on the trees. She narrowed her eyes and looked into the dense forest. It was hazy and she couldn't see anything. It seemed that if she wanted to reach the abandoned altar, she would have to pass through this dangerous forest.
Ye Ci was not afraid of danger, but she would not risk her life. After all, if she died in this place and dropped her equipment, it would be troublesome to pick up her corpse.
After standing outside the dense vegetation for a while, Ye Ci finally decided to enter the forest. She didn't run. Instead, she walked at a very slow pace towards the abandoned altar in the depths of the forest.
The Fourth Prince's footsteps were very light. Even if Ye Ci didn't give him such an order, as a Tyrannosaurus Rex who grew up in the forest, the vigilance and ferocity that was deeply ingrained in his bones couldn't be changed.
A gust of wind came from nowhere. The pupils in the Fourth Prince's large eyes suddenly shrunk. Then, he crouched down. Ye Ci also felt that something was wrong with the gust of wind. She sharply noticed that the gust of wind came from behind her left. The moment the Fourth Prince crouched down, she jumped into the air and grabbed a thick vine. Then, she quickly turned around and fired a few arrows at the direction of the gust of wind with her crossbow in one hand.
This series of actions was done in one go without any pause. It was as if she was born to be a part of the forest. She was very familiar with this kind of situation in the wild. Ye Ci only realized what was pouncing towards her after the crossbow was fired.
It was actually a snake.
A very large snake. It was as thick as her thigh. The dark green scales on its body emitted a dangerous green glow in the dark forest. Its triangular head indicated that it was a venomous snake. At this moment, it was rolling on the ground with its mouth wide open. There was no other reason other than the fact that Ye Ci's arrow wasn't very accurate. It didn't hit any of its vital points. Instead, it stuck between its upper and lower jaw like a thorn, causing the snake to be unable to close its mouth. In addition, the arrow had pierced the soft flesh in its mouth, causing the snake to roll on the ground in pain.
The Fourth Prince was very good at taking advantage of the situation. Seeing this, he immediately jumped on top of the snake. It was as if he wouldn't stop until he turned the snake into minced meat. Although the snake looked ferocious, it was only a level 40 monster. Its level was originally lower than the Fourth Prince. Now that it was at a disadvantage, it didn't take long for the Fourth Prince to torture it to death.
The experience points it gave were very high. It was even higher than the Mausoleum of Blades' Giants. However, this kind of monster was too good at hiding in the forest. Unless they took the initiative to attack, it wouldn't be easy to find it. Otherwise, it would be a good idea to level up here.
Along the way, they carefully made their way into the depths of the forest. Although there weren't any major dangers, there were still small dangers. Along the way, there were monsters that attacked from time to time. Although they were easy to deal with, Ye Ci couldn't help but grumble in her heart.
These monsters were quite strong. If it was someone of a different class, even someone of Ye Ci's level would have a hard time dealing with them. However, they didn't appear in groups. Every time they appeared, they would fight alone. This wasn't strange. What was even stranger was … … Starting from the snake, all the monsters that appeared were poisonous!
For example, scorpions, centipedes, and soft-bodied insects. Although their toxicity wasn't high, it could be stacked. Fortunately, Ye Ci was a Life Class Alchemist. She always had an antidote on her. Otherwise, she would have been poisoned to death. The Fourth Prince had been poisoned by seven stacks of poison. He lost nearly 2000 HP every three seconds. If she hadn't fed him the antidote in time, the Fourth Prince would have died in this forest.
Because of this, Ye Ci was almost certain that there was a powerful monster guarding this abandoned altar. Moreover, this monster specialized in poison attacks.
In Fate, was there a BOSS in the Swamp of Sorrows that used poison attacks? Ye Ci thought for a while, but her memory was hazy. It seemed that there really was such a BOSS. However, as she had only set foot in this place once in her previous life, and left after a short stay, she didn't have a deep impression of this place. She couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Let's take it one step at a time.
Although a BOSS with poison attacks was definitely not as easy to deal with as a BOSS with physical attacks, it didn't mean that there was no way to defeat it.
After walking through the darkest part of the forest, the light in front of her suddenly became brighter. Although it was still as dark as the Swamp of Sorrows, it was still much better than when she was in the forest. The area was more spacious, and there were fewer trees. Looking from afar, she could vaguely see the stone altar hidden in the shadows of the trees.
And there was a very unpleasant smell in the air. She had already smelled this smell when she was in the forest, but it was very faint at that time. But now that she was here, she realized that the smell was really nauseating. A faint black smoke rose from behind the trees in the distance. It was the black smoke that brought about the smell.
Ye Ci jumped down from the Fourth Prince's back and temporarily dismissed the Fourth Prince. She then walked towards the black smoke in Stealth. It was too quiet here. It seemed that there was nothing else other than the black smoke that indicated the presence of an unknown creature.
However, Ye Ci was still tense. She didn't dare to let her guard down. After all, when one was at their most relaxed, the enemy would give them a fatal bite, catching them off guard. This kind of damage was truly a loss.
But sometimes, no matter how careful one was, it was impossible to avoid getting hurt. Take Ye Ci for example. Even though she had been very careful with her feet, even though she had been constantly in Stealth, and even though she had changed her route from time to time to make sure that she was walking in a straight line, she was still frozen in place.
She lowered her head and saw that her feet were tightly bound by a thicket of thorns. She was also knocked out of Stealth. As expected, a debuff appeared beside her character's stats: Entanglement of Thorns. Duration: 10 seconds.
Entanglement of Thorns was a skill that only Druil would have. The system did not notify her that she was attacked by a player. That could only mean one thing. She must have been attacked by an NPC's Druil. After confirming the class of her attacker, Ye Ci immediately crouched down and took out her crossbow. She looked around cautiously. As expected, an Orc in a long robe jumped out from behind the thicket with a staff in his hand. He stood not far away from her and mocked, "Foolish Elf. You've fallen into my trap!"
He said as he began channeling a skill, "I'll definitely kill you this time! You lowly creatures of the forest don't deserve to live in this world! "
In Fate, Elves and Orcs were both races that were born in the forest. Aside from the small differences in their appearances, the two races were basically the same. However, in the game's setting, they were not very friendly. After all, they were both races of the forest. Everyone would want to compete with each other. Even though Elves and Orcs had reached a consensus to coexist peacefully a long time ago, there were still some Orcs and Elves who were like fire and water.
For example, the Orc Druil in front of her. It was obvious that he hated Elves.
It was because of this that Ye Ci finally remembered who he was.
The Orc Shaman Bru!
Bru was once the High Priest of the Orc race. He was one of the top figures in the Orc race, be it in terms of reputation or fame. However, he was a very extreme person. Since young, he believed that the Orc bloodline was the best bloodline of the forest races. He also saw Elves as lowly creatures. He believed that there was no need for Elves to exist. Wherever Elves appeared, they would be slaughtered.
In the beginning, there was nothing wrong with this approach. After all, at that time, every race was fighting for their own interests. However, later on, the Demon King Naga attempted to take over the Maacah Continent, causing all the races to put aside their original grievances and unite to fight against this common enemy. Therefore, the Orcs and the Elves signed an agreement to coexist peacefully and fight against the common enemy. Just like that, the Orcs and Elves who had been fighting each other for hundreds of years finally put down their weapons. Whether they were willing or not, they fought against the Demon King Naga together.
Although this was a step that had to be taken, many Orcs and Elves objected to this approach. Bru was the representative. Not only did he not stop after the ten major races signed the agreement, but he also retaliated by slaughtering the Elves to express his strong protest.
Under the circumstances of facing the Demon King Naga together, Bru and his followers, as well as the Elves who did the same as them, became sinners who destroyed the interests of all the other races. In the end, during the meeting of the ten major races, despite the objections of the Elves and Orcs, the highest leader of the meeting decided to banish Bru and his followers, as well as the Elves who did the same as them. They would never be able to set foot in their homeland.
Although this punishment made Bru very angry, he was still weak. He was completely banished from the Orc territory and could never return to the Orc territory for the rest of his life.
Although this was an emergency decision made during a time of crisis, it was a decision that met the needs of the ten major races. However, for an Orc like Bru, this decision was a death sentence. Not only was his position as the Great Priest of the Orcs stripped away, his pride as an Orc was also destroyed. This made Bru hate the Elves even more.
Due to this setting, this BOSS was very famous in Fate. He was famous not only because he would kill every player, but also because he would torture Elven players in an even more perverted way, making them wish they were dead.
Ye Ci suddenly recalled that she had fought against this BOSS in her previous life. However, she was already over lvl100 at that time, while this BOSS was only lvl50. She did not even wait for Bru to unleash any of his ultimate skills before he was sent back to his hometown. This was probably the reason why Ye Ci was not very clear about Bru's skills and characteristics. She only vaguely remembered that there were discussions on the forums about Bru's poisonous attacks and the ability to summon many pets. He was a very troublesome BOSS.
If one knew the correct way to defeat this BOSS, it would be very easy. However, if one did not know the correct way to defeat this BOSS, one could only describe it as a dilemma.
Unfortunately, the lvl120 Ye Ci was able to defeat this BOSS, but the lvl42 Ye Ci did not know the correct way to defeat this BOSS. It seemed that she was in for a dilemma. Ye Ci was not afraid of a dilemma. It was a game after all. It would be boring if she did not have a dilemma.
Ye Ci did not have much confidence in soloing a lvl42 BOSS against a lvl50 BOSS. However, as long as there was a chance, she would win.
It was impossible for Bru's skill to have a 10 second cast time. Ye Ci was already in a defensive stance. She held her Big Red Dagger in her hand as she waited for the skill to land on her. Of course, the prerequisite was that Bru did not insta-kill her.
The most perverted part of Bru was that he liked to torture the Elven players. He would never let them die like the other races. Unfortunately, Gongzi You was from the Elven race, which Bru hated the most. Bru's skill did not take away Ye Ci's life. It only took away 10% of her HP and poisoned her.
Bru's poison was much more powerful than the small poisons that they encountered along the way. Even though it was only one stain, she would lose 1000 HP every three seconds. Ye Ci did not have a lot of HP. Even at lvl42, she only had 10,000 HP. Bru's skill took away half of Ye Ci's HP.
"Elf, do you feel pain? Do you feel as if your entire body is on fire? "Blue laughed with his mouth wide open. His snow-white fangs revealed an eerie chill. "I will make you pay for all the pain that you have inflicted on me! It seems that you are going to die! Do you think that I will let you die? "
Bru seemed to be able to see Ye Ci's HP bar. When her HP was reduced to one-third, he healed himself! As expected of a lvl50 BOSS. A simple healing skill was able to restore Ye Ci's HP to full. But would Bru be so kind as to heal Ye Ci? Of course not. His healing skill was poisonous. When he healed Ye Ci, he stacked Ye Ci's poison status twice. Every time he healed her, she would lose 1500 HP!
Ye Ci stuffed a bottle of Golden Sore Medicine into her mouth. Then, she quietly watched the thorns on her body disappear. There were two seconds left.
Bru was once again channeling his skill with a maniacal laugh, but the channeling time was longer this time. Ye Ci immediately went into Stealth the moment the thorns disappeared, and moved a few yards to the left of where she had been standing just a moment ago.
"What! She disappeared! She disappeared! That damned elf actually disappeared! " Bru was channeling his skill when he suddenly lost sight of Ye Ci. He was stunned for a moment before he shouted angrily, "Despicable Elf! Despicable Elf! After such a long time, the evil in your bones still hasn't disappeared! No, you're even more rotten. I can even smell the disgusting stench on your bodies! Lowly creatures like you shouldn't exist in this world! You deserve to die! " As he spoke, he suddenly raised both of his hands and began to chant loudly, "Oh God of the Earth, your servant is here to summon you. Please bestow upon me the strongest power. I am willing to sacrifice this elf!"
Ye Ci continued to move in Stealth. As she moved, she observed Bru from afar. Bru raised his hands and knelt on the ground. He looked very pious. The channeling time for this skill was very long. It was long enough for Ye Ci to circle behind Bru and stab his back with her dagger!
"You have poisoned him!" Although the poison on Ye Ci's Short Sword was nothing compared to Bru's, it was still a continuous damage. Since she was alone, she could only slowly reduce Bru's HP.
As Bru was an Orc NPC, he was considered a Humanoid monster. The stab to Bru's back had not only inflicted Poison on him, but also dealt a fatal blow. Bru's HP was reduced by 5%. More importantly, Ye Ci interrupted Bru's ultimate skill and caused him to fall to the ground while clutching his chest.
Ye Ci didn't dare to stay close to Bru. She jumped to a distance and summoned The Fourth Prince. She ordered him to attack Bru while she pulled out her Crossbow and started shooting.
Ye Ci's fatal attack had stunned Bru for a short period of time. During those few seconds, Ye Ci's attacks were all critical hits. With the addition of The Fourth Prince's ultimate skills, Bru's HP dropped to 10% in the blink of an eye. But Ye Ci was troubled by the fact that Bru was 8 levels higher than her. Her attacks missed a lot, and if she didn't do something about it, it would affect the outcome of the match.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered the ring in the corner of her inventory. Although the ring was dropped by Fleeting Time, and Ye Ci had never intended to steal it, it shouldn't be a problem for her to use it in this situation.
Although … Although the ring was once worn by Fleeting Time … Ye Ci had no time to think about it. She immediately equipped the Ring of Precision on her finger, and her accuracy increased by a large margin. Her DPS was reduced by at least 70%, and her damage output was immediately boosted.
"Elf! I won't let you get away with this! " Bru finally recovered from the Stun effect, and began to cast spells at Ye Ci as he roared at her. Ye Ci stared at the channeling bar below Bru's avatar. She did not have any skills that could interrupt the channeling of spells, but she could tell from the channeling bar that Bru was about to cast a single target spell or an AoE spell.
If it was an AoE spell, Ye Ci would have leapt into the air to avoid the AoE damage. But if it was a single target spell, Ye Ci would have to rely on her luck. She would have to hide behind a tree or a rock to avoid the attack.
Fortunately, Ye Ci was a Huntress and not a Sorcerer in this life. She was agile and fast, and with the help of a Sorcerer's survival skills, she had the upper hand in the battle against Bru. She was rarely hit by Bru's skills. However, because Blue was a Magician, his movement speed was slow, and he was used to fighting monsters while standing still. Moreover, he had a weakness of having a long cast time, so he was at a disadvantage in this battle.
How could Bru not be enraged? He was a noble Orc, but he was toyed with by an Elf. Moreover, there was a despicable dinosaur that kept causing trouble for him. He roared, "Come out, my pets!"
A large number of poisonous creatures emerged from the ground and charged towards Ye Ci and Ol 'Four. Ye Ci immediately activated Stealth, and the venomous creatures that were charging at her began to charge at Ol 'Four. Ol 'Four was in the mood to bully Bru. How could he not be angry when so many small creatures appeared all of a sudden? He roared and used the "Tremor of the Earth" AoE skill to reduce the health of all the poisonous creatures.
Ye Ci took advantage of this opportunity to run away. Bru would not let Ye Ci go, and he immediately chased after Ye Ci. However, after a few steps, he stepped into Ye Ci's Freezing Trap, and he was instantly frozen in ice.
Although he only had a dozen or so seconds in the ice, in actual combat, a lot of things could be done in a dozen or so seconds, such as replenishing Ol 'Four's HP and instructing Ol' Four to kill all the poisonous creatures. When all the poisonous creatures were killed, Ye Ci discovered that Bru's health bar had decreased by 10%!
Could it be …
Did Bru's summoning of his pets have something to do with his health? If his pets died, he would receive damage. Ye Ci wasn't sure, but she increased the intensity of her attacks. Soon, Bru summoned his pets again. This time, Ye Ci used the same method. She went invisible while Bru's pets attacked the Fourth Prince. Then, she pretended to escape while Bru chased after her. She then cast a Freezing Trap on the Fourth Prince and froze him. After that, she and the Fourth Prince eliminated Bru's pets as quickly as possible.
Just as Ye Ci predicted, every time all the pets died, Bru would receive 10% damage. However, Ye Ci discovered that if she couldn't kill all the summoned pets within a minute, they would drain the health of Bru. Therefore, it was a little dangerous. If Ye Ci didn't have high DPS and good control of her strategy, she would have gone for wool and come home shorn.
Since she knew how to deal with Bru, Ye Ci wasn't so conflicted. She started to control the rhythm of the battle. She wanted to transfer the rhythm of the battle from Bru to her.
Although Bru was Level 50, once Ye Ci grasped the rhythm of the battle, he was just a tough nut to crack. With enough patience and energy, it wouldn't be difficult to take him down.
Of course, Bru wasn't willing to send Ye Ci to Hell. Although Ye Ci had grasped the rhythm of the battle, Bru would still use Resurrection from time to time. For example, he would heal himself and give himself some defense. Although he didn't do it frequently, it was enough to give Ye Ci a headache. Especially the Fourth Prince. After a long battle, his Stamina and mood were deteriorating rapidly. Even though Ye Ci kept feeding him food, Bru's mood was getting worse.
For a pet like the Fourth Prince, a prolonged period of bad mood would not affect the rhythm of the battle. However, it was obvious that his combat speed and damage were not high. For Ye Ci, who had been working hard for a long time, this was one disaster after another. The sky was already dark. According to Ye Ci's calculations, the battle with Bru had been going on for at least 4 hours. Not only was the Fourth Prince's Stamina and Stamina reaching their limits, Ye Ci's Stamina and Stamina were also at their limits.
Worse than that, Ye Ci's arrows were almost depleted. A system notification kept popping up, "You have one set of arrows left in your quiver. Please replenish your arrows."
Ye Ci had a quiver with 24 slots of blue arrows, which was 6 slots more than a normal quiver. It also had the ability to recycle normal arrows. But even so, Ye Ci had used up almost all of her arrows to take down Buru. If she could not defeat Buru in time, she would end up like Fleeting Time, and could only watch helplessly as her victory was turned into defeat.
Bru still had 5% of his HP left, and she still had 244 arrows left. Ye Ci began calculating the remaining 244 arrows in her head. She was trying to figure out how she could use them to defeat Bru and deplete his HP.
The situation was getting worse, but Ye Ci did not panic. Instead, she became calmer and calmer. She felt that she had matured. She remembered that she would have panicked if she had encountered such a situation in her last life. But she did not do so now. Perhaps it was because she had calmed down, or perhaps it was because she simply enjoyed the game. She enjoyed the success and failure that the game brought to her, and did not place too much importance on the benefits of the game.
Regardless of the reason, Ye Ci became calmer and calmer. She was able to analyze the situation rationally and rationally. She knew what was good for her and what was bad for her. Ye Ci dashed out of Bru's casting range while feeding the Fourth Prince some roasted meat and potions. She was also able to make accurate judgements about her skills. From an outsider's point of view, Gongzi You was no different from when the battle began.
He was still as agile, as ferocious, and as deadly as ever. But Ye Ci was the only one who knew that her body was on the verge of collapsing. Her hands were no longer her own. Her legs and calves were so sore that they felt like they were about to be separated from her body. Every organ in her body was on the verge of going on strike. The system kept reminding her that her Stamina had reached its limit and she had to rest. If not, there would be a 24-hour fatigue penalty.
She knew all of this, but she also knew that she couldn't give up because she hadn't done her best. As long as her body could move, as long as her mind could control her body, as long as her consciousness was still there, she had to keep fighting!
Because she was a Huntress, because she was a DPS. She was born to fight.
Until her death!
"Elf, you can't take it anymore, right? You can't run anymore, right? Give up. I can't resist! I can't be defeated! " Bru was left with 3% of his Health Points. His eyes were red as he stood not far from Ye Ci and chanted spells.
Bru was an intelligent BOSS. Not only did he have intelligence, but he could also analyze the situation. Even though Bru knew that he was about to die, he also knew that the Elf had reached her limit. In this situation, only one of them could survive. Bru's pride as an Orc wouldn't allow the Elf to survive. Therefore, he had to fight as well, and he had to fight until he died!
There were 171 arrows left. He should be able to defeat the Elf. Ye Ci's throat felt as though it was on fire. She couldn't make a sound. Even her breathing felt like it was burning. She turned to look at the Fourth Prince. He was getting weaker and weaker, as though he was about to die. She sighed. The Fourth Prince had reached his limit. She couldn't delay him any longer. She recalled the Fourth Prince and summoned Ol 'Three.
Ol 'Three was only level 40. Even though he was two levels lower than the Fourth Prince and was only an Elite creature, he was still full of energy after being summoned. He could deal 120% damage to Ye Ci, which made up for the difference between him and the Fourth Prince.
They continued to fight.
Blue only had 1.8% of his Mana Points left, and many of Ye Ci's high damage skills were still on cooldown. She could only run and use Viper Stinger and Chain Arrow to buy time. She only had a hundred arrows left.
"Elf, die!" Ye Ci's body had reached its limit. Even though she was running at high speed, she was exhausted. Bru took advantage of this opportunity and used Thorn Lock on her. He pulled her to his side and grabbed her by the throat!
"Little bug! How dare you challenge me! How dare you challenge me! I'm going to make you wish you were dead! " Bru stared at Ye Ci with a ferocious look on his face, and he began to tighten his grip on her.
Ye Ci could feel her neck creaking as she struggled to catch her breath. She knew that she would be strangled to death at this rate. However, her body wasn't long enough to attack Bru. Her strength was also draining away. She didn't even have the chance to draw out her dagger.
Was she going to die like this?
Ye Ci's throat made gurgling sounds. It was the sound of bones and trachea being squeezed. Even though she didn't want to die like this …
She was going to die like this.
