Chapter 76

Stretching in front of the adventurers is a castle about 450 meters wide.

Unlike traditional medieval castles, since Cuifank does not have a central tall tower, it also does not have arrow towers standing everywhere.

The entire castle is a stepped building built on the back of the mountain. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one side is outside. It extends upwards along the mountain road in a ladder shape.

Among them, the outer wall of the castle is the shortest, only about three meters high.

On the city wall are rows of guard posts distributed in a grid pattern. Each guard post is equipped with a sexton, a high-level blood-colored skeleton mage, and a berserker, with a distance of five meters.

The entire castle defense line has a total of nine floors, with a total height of about 40 meters. Due to the wide bottom and sharp top, the defense line gets shorter as you go up, and the number of monsters is relatively reduced, but the strength of the monsters guarding each guard post is relatively stronger. From the second step, the Lord of the Night, the Flesh Hunter, the Scarab, and the leader appeared one after another.

The castle itself has three stepped passages, like three dividing lines dividing the triangular fort into three equal parts, which allows the defenders to freely mobilize troops through these passages to assist in the defense of a critical area. There are still a small number of blood diving crows hovering in the sky. Although the number is not large, they can rush to every corner of the battlefield as a support force in the first place.

The entire castle is made of white stone, and it looks like a white pyramid from a distance. The nine steps are covered with dense attack points, as if rows of cannons are aimed at the adventurers in the distance—if Kulas If Te is still a city, then Cui Fanke is a fortress at all.

This scene almost drove the adventurers crazy.

This is the most disgusting thing they have ever seen in the bloody city!

If it were placed in the former human world, building this kind of fortress would only make people laugh. It is built around mountains, with pyramid-like ladder defenses and multi-level crossfire. It is indeed strong enough and easy to defend. But the problem is that this kind of fortress can't live in people at all. It is not located on the main road, and it can't provide living areas. It can be said that it has no attack value strategically. Even the most stupid king and the most whimsical decision cannot give birth to such an existence.

Different environments create different needs, and thus give rise to different development directions-for the bloody city, it never needs to consider issues such as strategy, population, and geographical factors.

Some people began to yell and curse: "Damn, how do you fight this? This is basically an artillery position!"

Another said: "There are no gates, so it's clear that we can only climb the walls as targets."

Someone had sharp eyes and counted: "Ninety on the first floor, eighty on the second floor, all the way to the ninth floor, a total of 450 turrets, in each turret there are two long-range monsters, one melee monster, There are a total of 1,350 monsters, and there are about 100 flying monsters in the air, plus mobile monsters and guards, the estimated number of monsters is about 1,700, and this is not counting the possible new high-level monsters and three bosses."

Someone added: "The height is less than 50 meters and the width is less than 500 meters. The opponent's range will not be less than 2 to 400 meters. That is to say, no matter from which angle we attack, we will be attacked by at least hundreds of firepower points." .Damn it, one volley will kill you! We only have more than 30 people in total, and we were all wiped out before we could charge up."

Some people began to pick their picks: "This battle is impossible to fight, I think we should give up and go back to fight the spider cave and the huge wetland."

With the completion of the third and fourth missions, most of the adventurers have escaped from life and death.

For them, it is destined to be a bad deal for them to continue to fight after getting rid of the death threat, which will pay a heavy price. Cui Fanke's almost abnormal defense made quite a few adventurers retreat. The shrinking phenomenon that was originally expected to appear in the sixth mission actually appeared ahead of time for Cui Fanke.

"What should we do now?" King Kong Honglang was also anxious.

Without Cui Fanke, all Shen Yi's follow-up plans will be impossible to talk about.

"Don't worry." Shen Yi glanced at the fortress in the distance,

Slowly said: "Forcibly punching is definitely not enough, I have to find a way to see if I can lure them out to fight."

He took out the shooting moon and used the moon mark skill on a church sexton who was far away.

Skill Moon Mark: Use Moon Mark on any visible target within a range of 800 meters, a half-moon mark with a strong flash will appear on the target, becoming a vulnerable light source point, which lasts for one minute. When using Moonshot to attack the marked person, the bullet ignores the range, the damage is increased by 0.5 times, and other guns increase by 0.2 times. This skill consumes two points of spirit, and the cooling time is one minute.

He didn't use this moon mark to increase the lethality, but because of its special effect of ignoring distance at this moment.

A series of bullets locked on to the steward and flew towards the target. The berserker next to him suddenly swung his ax and slashed down. With the sharp light of the ax passing by, the shadow of the flying ax actually chopped off all the flying bullets. .

"Damn it!" Shen Yi cursed.

Berserkers are currently the most powerful unit in the third difficulty. They are quick to respond and fierce to attack. With them guarding the fort, it is really difficult for ordinary long-range attacks to be effective. Especially now that the distance is too far, the Berserker can easily capture the trajectory of the bullet and intercept it.

He turned and shouted, "Arias, give me the gun!"

Barrett drew an arc in the air and fell into Shen Yi's hands. Shen Yi grabbed the gun and jumped onto the car: "Yi Yu, drive the car to a position 800 meters away from the fortress and stop!"

"I know!" Zhou Yiyu drove towards Cui Fanke. When Zhou Yiyu stopped at a distance of 800 meters, Shen Yi held Barrett and turned to a sexton in the distance and shot him.

Bash Mode!

This time the Berserker couldn't stop it.

The sexton's head was thrown back violently, a stream of blood gushed out, but he did not die. Its range was less than 800 meters, so it could only look at Shen Yi and roar angrily, but the entire guard of Cui Fanke did not move, obviously having no intention of leaving the city.

"I won't come out." Zhou Yiyu felt dizzy.

Shen Yi said coldly: "Then continue fighting."

A minute later, another shot was fired, and the sexton who had been shot before was shot again. The steward really wanted to dodge, but unfortunately the heavy attack mode didn't allow it to dodge at all.

Another minute later, Shen Yi fired a third shot.

At this time, all the adventurers had gathered together, watching Shen Yi shoot and attack slowly while sitting in the car. For a moment, I couldn't help thinking: Is it because the monsters in the fortress don't come out, so he just keeps fighting like this?

Zong Tang couldn't help asking: "Shen Yi, what is the kinetic energy of Barrett's gun?"

"38, using a C-grade bullet, with a damage of 26."

Zong Tang bowed his head and calculated, "The sexton's vitality is 240, and his defense is 13 points. You can cause 51 points of damage per shot, and five shots can kill one."

Shen Yi replied lightly: "It doesn't matter. If they don't come out, I'll just keep fighting. Even if it takes five minutes, nearly three hundred of them can be killed in 24 hours."

He really had this idea!

I have to say, this is also a method.

Someone asked loudly: "Who still has the ability to attack from a long distance?"

Everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads.

In the eyes of most adventurers, long-range attacks that emphasize too much range are mostly useless—for adventurers whose agility has been strengthened to a certain level, the distance of 800 meters is actually only a dozen seconds of sprint time. Not even enough time for Barrett to fire a second shot.

Who would have thought that under special circumstances and in special combat needs, a Barrett could be so useful?

It's no wonder that the defense of the entire Cuifank Fortress can be described as impenetrable, and it is not something that adventurers with difficulty two can easily conquer. However, such a strong fortress has a shortcoming that doesn't seem too short: its range is not far enough.

If it is someone else, it may not be possible to deal with such shortcomings. It happened to be Shen Yi, as a captain without melee attack skills, Shen Yi's biggest characteristic is miscellaneous. He has so many abilities that he has a slight advantage in every aspect.

But now, it is this little advantage that has laid a good foundation for Shen Yi, allowing him to take advantage of the distance to nibble away at the opponent bit by bit.

If Shen Yi is really allowed to kill all Cui Fanke's guarding monsters with five shots one at a time, then Shen Yi will create a miracle - sweeping the third-difficulty and fifth-level missions with one person's power!

Fortunately, things finally did not become so outrageous.

When the fourth shot was fired, a white-robed priest above the stairs suddenly raised his hands and shot a white light. The light hit the sexton, and the sexton, who had been seriously injured, recovered from his injuries.

"Damn it, there is a healing unit!" Hong Lang cursed.

The existence of healing units completely destroyed Shen Yi's dream of using range to kill one by one. What's interesting is that facing this situation, most adventurers didn't feel annoyed, but felt relieved with a sigh of relief - they couldn't take it down. Cui Fanke, everyone is certainly unhappy; if they can win, everyone will still be unhappy.

Everyone once again experienced the contradictions of human nature.

Compared to other people who worry about gains and losses, Shen Yi is much more relaxed.

"Yiyu, drive the car another hundred meters."

As the black lightning advanced another hundred meters, the entire fortress was already covered by Barrett's gun.

boom! boom! boom!

The sound of gunshots echoed over the wilderness.

Shen Yi was almost pinching the stopwatch and shooting. Attacks every 60 seconds. This time, he was no longer limited to attacking the sexton, including Berserker, Scarlet Skeleton Mage, and those new powerful monsters, all of which were within his attack range. Every time a target is healed, he'll scramble to find his next target, but the locked targets are almost all in the same area.

"Shen Yi, it's useless for you to fight like this, even if you are given a day, you can't kill even one monster." Zong Tang became a little impatient.

In his opinion, Barrett's super long cooling time made it impossible for Shen Yi to kill any monsters. He was just wasting his time.

Shen Yi replied indifferently: "King of the night, life is 320. Flesh hunter, life is 340. Scarab, life is 450. Cantor, life is 380. Hell diving crow, life is 280. As for the healing priest, the defense power should be the same as that of the sexton." Almost, the vitality may be slightly higher, it is estimated to be around 250."

Zongtang was stunned: "How do you know? It is impossible for your spiritual exploration to work at such a long distance."

"I attacked the sexton first, the berserker, and the bloody skeleton mage, monsters we already know about. If you pay attention, you will find that the healing skills of the white-robed priest are always shot at me. Use it when you are about to kill the opponent. Assuming their defense is between 10-15, I can roughly estimate their vitality through the number of shots."

"It turns out that you used this method to find out."

"Not only that, but have you ever thought about why the healing priest counts his healing so carefully?"

Zong Tang was stunned, then came to his senses: "Because its healing skills are limited just like ours."

Shen Yi chuckled, and continued to raise his gun and shoot.

Since these white-robed priests were scattered all over the area, when Shen Yi only attacked monsters in one area, only one white-robed priest could use healing to heal himself.

When Shen Yi fired the forty-eighth shot, the white-robed priest finally stopped using healing skills. It roared into the distance, and a white-robed priest came over, healed the sexton on its behalf, and then turned back to his own position.

Seeing this scene, everyone sighed together.

Zong Tang shook his head: "It's useless, these guys may not be smarter than us, but they are not so stupid that they can't even dispatch soldiers. It has been forty-eight minutes now, you fired forty-eight shots, and the priest also used eleven shots." Healing spells, which means that its healing spells can probably be used ten times in a row, but because it is mentally draining, it can slowly increase over time. There are at least eighty healing priests there, and it is impossible for you to use them all up mana."

"Since we can't run out, we have no choice but to kill them." Shen Yi smiled slightly.

"Unless you can kill it, you can't. But Barrett isn't enough."

"What about gun skills?"

"Nobody has a gun this far."

"I have." Shen Yi said with a smile: "It's just that the damage is not enough, so we have to upgrade the weapons first."

As he spoke, he suddenly took out the Horadric Cube.

With a wave to Frost, the death revolver has fallen into Shen Yi's hands.

Throw Barrett and Death Revolver into the cube.

Heraldry prompt: "Eighty-two percent homogeneity, you need to choose a weapon as the main attribute before synthesizing. You need to charge 1800 blood points for synthesizing..."

"Using Barrett as the main weapon, deferred payment."

With the disappearance of the death revolver, a new Barrett has appeared in front of everyone.

"Double C-class Barrett heavy-duty sniper rifle."

"Heavy attack mode: the muzzle kinetic energy bonus is 48, the range is 750 meters, the rate of fire per shot/60 seconds, after hitting the target, there are three elements of freezing, flame, and lightning damage, and the damage is 18-24 points. "

"Burst fire mode: muzzle kinetic energy bonus 18, shooting range 300 meters, firing rate per shot/2 seconds, after hitting the target, it randomly comes with three elements of freezing, flame, and lightning damage, and the damage is 9-12 points. Heavy hit mode shares a cooldown with Burst Mode."

Picking up Barrett, Shen Yi shot into the distance, and this time he aimed at the white-robed priest who had exhausted his mana.

boom!

This shot made the body of the priest shake.

Following this shot, Shen Yi threw the Barrett in his hand, drew out the shot and pointed it at the priest.

The skill Moonmark activates.

The skill Moonshot is activated.

Two consecutive skills, coupled with the 10% skill power bonus of Crane Feather Cloak, a double B bullet passed through the head of the white-robed priest at high speed with 3.4 times the damage, and shot out between his eyebrows. After the blood spring, the white-robed priest fell to the sky.

Kill with one shot!
