Beast Horn are a valuable item; Li Wei never expected to obtain one.
In the game, equipping the 'Beast Horn' will grant the wearer a bipedal unicorn to ride. Not only that, this unicorn can also share some of the damage taken by its owner, and more importantly, it can increase movement speed.
In Shadow Street, merchants also sell mounts, but the prices are astronomical.
Now, Beast Horn had unexpectedly appeared in the Treasure Chest, much to Li Wei's delight. The others had also clearly seen the Beast Horn, but none of them asked Li Wei for it. Firstly, as the team leader, he had the authority to dispose of items, and secondly, since Li Wei had opened the Treasure Chest, the item should rightfully belong to him.
Carefully putting away the Beast Horn, Li Wei continued forward. Soon, he encountered three more Skeleton Warrior. This time, before Li Wei could even speak, Seventy-Two pounced on them like hungry tigers.
However, they tacitly left one for Li Wei. This time, Li Wei didn't plan to deal with the Skeleton Warrior too quickly, but instead prepared to conduct an experiment.
He wanted to see just how much of a defensive boost his Jade Armor Set could provide.
The Skeleton Warrior still looked bitter and resentful, swinging his Flying Axe at Li Wei.
Having mastered the fifth level of the Innate Skill Technique, Li Wei circulated his true energy throughout his body, assumed a horse stance, and stood firmly in place, awaiting this thunderous strike.
With a loud 'bang,' the Flying Axe struck Li Wei squarely in the chest. The immense force sent Li Wei sliding backward several meters, leaving two deep gashes on the ground beneath his feet.
Pain!
Li Wei almost cried out in pain, but he managed a smile. Although the axe blow had taken away half of his health, it was a full-force attack from the Skeleton Warrior. There was another reincarnator in the team, number 238, who was known for his stamina and had an astonishing 500 health points. However, he had just been accidentally touched by the Skeleton Warrior's axe, and his health points had dropped by more than 400, almost costing him his life.
This guy was wearing a full set of Bronze Set, which shows how powerful the Skeleton Warrior's attack was. However, when it hit me, who was wearing emerald armor, the damage was greatly reduced.
What does this tell us?
Naturally, it was the Jade Set's superior defensive capabilities that came into play; such defensive power probably surpassed that of all the other reincarnators in this team.
Having obtained the answer he wanted, Li Wei naturally wouldn't continue this Pain experiment. Instead, he unleashed another smooth, continuous attack, sending the Skeleton Warrior back to hell as well.
With a whoosh, the Skeleton Warrior dropped a large pile of gold coins, which Li Wei pocketed.
On the other side, Zheng Yutong and her team were working together more and more smoothly. Soon, the three Skeleton Warrior fell to the ground and turned into a pile of bones.
"That's how you fight. Those skilled in ranged attacks should never stand in the front, no matter what. Those with strong defense should protect their teammates. Remember, to reach the third level, you must cooperate with each other!"
In his spare time, Li Wei would occasionally take out a piece of Yellow Paper and write on it with a pen.
Zheng Yutong had asked Li Wei about this habit before, and the answer she received was surprisingly simple.
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Intelligence is always the most important thing. Even things you think are useless can sometimes come in very handy!"
Zheng Yutong wholeheartedly agreed with this statement. However, the contents of Li Wei's record were unknown to anyone but himself.
Anyone who sees this will be astonished, because Li Wei's Yellow Paper records the story worlds and monsters he encountered from the beginning of his Initial Trial.
Li Wei also made detailed records of the story worlds he had heard of but never entered. In his opinion, he might enter one of these story worlds during a mission.
In addition, Li Wei also recorded some skill information.
Right now, Li Wei is looking through some information about the underground city, which he recorded in his spare time along the way.
"The first level has been explored, and most of the second level has been explored. The monsters encountered include Skeleton Soldier, Venomous Insect, Cyclops, Ghost, Skeleton Archer, Hellhound, Hell Spider, and Skeleton Warrior..."
"The monsters we haven't encountered yet Necromancer, the Poison Bull Monster, the Dark Knight, and the Demon Gordon. Basically, the Dark Knight and the Demon Gordon will only appear on the third floor, so that leaves only the Necromancer and the Poison Bull Monster on the second floor! Damn, both of them are pretty troublesome monsters!"
On Li Wei's Yellow Paper were detailed information about two types of monsters. Of course, this information was written by Li Wei based on data from the game several years ago, and it may not be entirely accurate, but it can be used as a reference.
"Necromancer use lightning magic, and Poison Bull use highly Venomous Insect attacks. I wonder which is more powerful—the venom of a poisonous insect or a poisonous bull? But I imagine the Poison Bull's venom is more potent. In that case, the venom of Venomous Insect Poison Bull be useless against it. So, if you encounter Poison Bull, avoid close combat..."
"Lightning magic should be more troublesome. My defense should be enough to withstand two wizards casting spells at the same time. I'll need someone to help me. Uh, the knight number 99 has defense second only to mine, so he should be able to withstand one lightning spell. That way, the Magic Bait will be enough!"
Li Wei was talking to himself when the knight numbered 99 suddenly shivered, thinking to himself, "I'm not cold, how could I have caught a cold?"
Little did he know, he had already been designated by Li Wei as a 'Magic Bait,' a term Li Wei himself had coined. Back in the world of Heroes of Might and Magic, he frequently used Magic Bait to trick enemies into unleashing their magical attacks.
The so-called 'Magic Bait' is a class that lures enemies into casting spells. In the world of Heroes of Might and Magic, this class can be a peasant, a thief, or basically any unit that you wouldn't feel bad about dying.
Here, you can't let people die easily, so you can only choose people with strong defense and high health to play this role.
After using Magic Bait to lure the opponent into releasing magic, others can take the opportunity to eliminate the enemy. This is a fairly common tactic, but using it on living people is a first. What's even more outrageous is that Li Wei has also listed himself as 'Magic Bait'.
Anyone who dares to do something, if not crazy, must have absolute confidence in their own tactics.
"Knight, you and I will walk at the front of the group. Here are 20 recovery potions, take them!" After calling out Knight number 99, Li Wei smiled and handed him a bunch of potions.
This made the Knights even more convinced that the new captain was up to some kind of 'conspiracy'.
After a brief rest, the group continued their journey. When they encountered Skeleton Warrior along the way, they dealt with them with ease. Those skilled in melee combat held the front, while those proficient in bows, crossbows, or Firearms Mastery constantly moved around to attack. Soon, they had increased the number of Skeleton Warrior killed to 50.
The dropped items made the reincarnators grin from ear to ear. Apart from the items that dropped directly, the five randomly dropped Treasure Chest were all handed over to Li Wei.
Li Wei was just about to open the Treasure Chest, suddenly stopped. After thinking for a moment, he put the Treasure Chest into his storage space. He explained to everyone that they should open the Treasure Chest together after reaching the third floor or after killing Gordon.
In reality, Li Wei wanted to test whether his Art of Stacking would have any effect on the Treasure Chest. If it did, it might improve the quality of the Treasure Chest, although the possibility was slim. He would only know after testing.
After passing through a narrow passage that was over a hundred meters long, Li Wei and his group arrived at a relatively spacious area. From a distance, they could already see two Necromancer dressed in red and black wizard robes and holding blue lightning staffs.
Li Wei had had a question about this monster for several years.
He's called a 'Necromancer,' but he doesn't know any necromancy; he only casts the lightning spell 'Palm Thunder.' What kind of Necromancer is that?
However, now that Li Wei has seen the appearance of these monsters, Li Wei roughly knows the origin of their names.
Because a 'Necromancer' is essentially a creature resembling a zombie, with hands outside the wizard's robes that are indistinguishable from those of a corpse. Since its true form is an Undead, calling it Necromancer is not unreasonable.
These guys don't have high defense or health, but their attack power is ridiculously strong. Of course, this is all based on the information Li Wei gathered from the game. The actual situation still needs to be tested.
Thinking of this, Li Wei gestured for the others to stop, and walked forward alone.
