Chapter 25 Battle Mode

 “Lu Yao, Lu Yao?”

Sister Peng reminded: "Give me a copy of this month's report. I'll be urging you over there."

 “Ah, right away.”

Lu Yao passed the report and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little tired.

"You look very tired recently." Sister Peng joked while printing materials: "What's wrong? Are you doing a side job after get off work? Or did you go out to get high at night?"

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

 …

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

Proactively destroyed the mountain passage and cut off trade with the Yanchi Tribe. The Garlic Tribe needed another passage to contact the outside world.

 Theoretically there are three ways.

 Go north through the forest and then into the northern world.

 Go eastward across the Donghe River and all the way into the East China Sea.

 March south into the desert and reopen the oasis.

 Among the three routes, the forest road is the most dangerous. These are also Isabel's original words.

"Sir, there are forest elemental creatures deep in the forest. Their number is unknown, and some of them are very aggressive. Even if a path can be opened, there may be harassment by elemental creatures at any time, and there will be hidden dangers."

 Starting water trade and navigation eastward required the development of better shipbuilding skills. Canoes could be used for fishing and water movement, but they could not support long-distance navigation. Building bigger and stronger ships takes time.

  Relatively speaking, desert is the best choice.

The Bedou tribe has lived in the desert for many years and knows this environment very well. The dangers in the desert are sandstorms and harsh 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 huge bug called a "sandworm".

It lives underground in the desert. It is as big as a giant earthworm. Its skin is rough and tough and is yellow-brown. 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 are an irresistible natural disaster to the Bedou tribe.

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

“I killed a bug when I was looking for the Bedou tribe.”

 Lu Yao was immediately alert.

 —Can we deal with those insects?

“Sir, do you want to kill them all?”

 Lu Yao realized there was something going on as soon as he heard it.

—Hunting sandworms is the second priority. The primary goal is to recapture the oasis and open a passage from the desert to the outside world. Of course, it is best to minimize the number of sandworms.

 “Yes, my lord.”

  —Do you need support?

"My lord, the treasure you gave me is enough. These bugs are not difficult to deal with."

 —Okay, let’s set off immediately.

 …

 After returning home from get off work, Lu Yao sat down in front of the computer impatiently, locking his perspective on the desert area.

 The desert has been expanded into large new areas, and Isabel found the occupied oasis. Surrounding her were a pile of yellow-brown corpses of long worms. Only their upper bodies were exposed in the desert, and they looked like giant fingers protruding from the ground.

  The top of Isabel’s head displays [In battle].

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

Isabel in black faced a group of brown insect monsters, but only two of the enemies were still alive. Both the enemy and the enemy have their own health bars displayed above their heads.

 【Isabel LV15】VS【Sandworm LV10】【Sandworm LV11】.

 The battle presents a real-time auto-chess mode.

Isabel held a green lightsaber and stabbed two sandworms continuously. Green light **** flew out from the lightsaber one by one, carrying out tracking bombing on the sandworms.

Lu Yao thought of the description of the ability of the Forest Sword.

Sword of the Forest Lv1: [Isabel’s exclusive ability] Isabel summons the Holy Sword, which comprehensively increases combat attributes. The duration and increase depend on the ability level and mana.

This green lightsaber should be the holy sword.

This was the first time Lu Yao saw Isabel in serious fighting mode. When dealing with barbarian heroes before, Isabel could kill them with just a steel pipe, without having to use her abilities at all.

It can be seen that sandworms are much stronger than barbarian heroes.

Sandworms are somewhat like gophers, able to burrow into the sand and emerge from unexpected directions. Their attack method is to spit out a black venom that can be sprayed over a long distance.

 It's just that Isabel's movement and attack speed are too fast. In front of her, the sandworm attack falls on her and displays a long series of Miss. As for Isabel's holy sword stabbing and green light bombing, the sandworm could not avoid it at all.

The health bar on the top of the sandworm's head is falling rapidly, and the one with a lower level has been emptied of its health bar, with a [death] sign displayed above its head.

Lu Yao moved the mouse to the living sandworm.

 …

  【Sandworm LV11】

 Health: 101/220

 Mana: 16/44

  Damage: 8

 Defense: 8

 Speed: 5

  【Evasion Lv5】

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

  【Poisoned LV5】

 Attacks will poison the enemy, causing continuous damage.

 …

 It turns out there is detailed combat data.

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

 …

 【Apostle Lv15】Forest Sword·Isabel

 Health: 220/224

 Mana: 271/385

  Damage: 27

 Defense: 25

 Speed: 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 understand various abilities.

 【Laying Prayer Lv5】(15 mana)

 Pray to the Sea of ​​Dying to temporarily awaken the sleeping dead and obtain help from the dead. The type of dead depends on ability level and mana.

 【Forest Sword Lv1】(100 mana)

　　【Isabel's Exclusive Ability】Isabel summons the Holy Sword, which comprehensively increases combat attributes. The duration and increase depend on the ability level and mana. After the battle, Isabel will create some forest elemental creatures, the number and type of which depend on the ability level and the strength of the combat object.

 …

Lu Yao observed it for a while and roughly understood the combat mechanism of the simulator.

 The simulator simplifies combat and turns it into a way to visualize values ​​and abilities.

 Isabel's speed is three times that of the sandworm, so the sandworm's attack has the effect of being unable to hit. But under Isabel's attack, -19 numbers kept appearing on the sandworm.

 Lu Yao did the math and found that Isabel's damage was 27 and the sandworm's defense was 8. The subtraction between the two was exactly 19 points. If there are no special abilities and equipment, as long as the attack can hit, the direct damage caused is the difference between damage and defense.

 In actual combat, the difference in basic values ​​between the two warring parties is too large, and they lack the ability to restrain themselves. The battle scene is one-sided.

Like a sandworm facing Isabel.

Even if the sandworm attacks hit, it cannot break through the defense, and the result is already doomed.

As the last sandworm's health bar is cleared, the prompt "Battle is over" appears 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, forming two furry reddish-brown creatures. They were exactly the same level and type.

 …

  【Spotted Lynx LV10】【Created by Isabel】

 Health: 182/182

 Mana: 55/55

  Damage: 9

 Defense: 4

 Speed: 9

  【Quick Strike】

 Ability to attack more frequently.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

 If you are not discovered while sneaking, the first attack on a creature will definitely produce a [bleeding] effect, and [bleeding] will continue to reduce the opponent's health.

  【Forest Elements LV1】

 Forest elemental creatures are beneficial to the rapid growth of the forest, and all attributes in the forest increase. Effects depend on ability level and health.

 …

Lu Yao was excited when he saw it.

 The Sword of the Forest was finally launched successfully!

From the perspective of abilities and attributes, the spotted lynx is obviously an assassin, good at ambush and sneak attacks, and can cause damage quickly. The level is pretty good.

 “Sir, I have a request.”

Isabel said: "They are too weak to follow me, but they can protect the humans of the Garlic tribe in the forest."

“Can you send all the weak elemental creatures you created back to the forest first, so that they can continue to grow? When the number is larger, they can be put to use when they grow up.”

Lu Yao thinks it’s feasible.

 Gathering troops together in one wave is also a classic tactic.
