DOTA’s Madness

Northern valley foothills.

This is a mountain range located northeast of the Yingcheng ruins. It looks lush and green because it is covered by large areas of vegetation. The highest peak is about 800 meters above sea level. Although it is not too high, it is not easy to climb due to the steep slope. In addition, the monsters here are said to be difficult to deal with, but the drops are average, so few super users will come.

Along the way, Zhao Dingguo also confirmed this. He almost didn't see super users on the road in this direction.

"The monsters on the mountain are indeed very troublesome. If it weren't for the bloodline mission, I wouldn't want to come."

Regarding his future development, Yan Yuelan has obviously made preparations early. Although she knew that Zhao Dingguo would definitely know some information about the target in advance, out of insurance, she still told her in detail about the monster information she knew on the way.

"The monsters in the foothills of the northern valley are mainly jungle walkers and sester bandits."

These are two different types of monsters.

The Jungle Walker is a kind of Bigfoot orc with sharp horns and full of savage strength. The minimum height of this kind of monster is about two meters, and the elite ancient jungle walker can even be four or five meters tall. They are almost all melee units with heavy attack skills. A few jungle walkers also have healing skills such as rejuvenation, thunder trample AOE slowdown, etc., or summoned trees similar to the prophet, which are not easy to mess with anyway.

Cester is relatively common, a wild monster that is killed casually in Dota.

However, it would be a big mistake to think that the Cester thieves in the main plane are that weak.

Unlike those mediocre little wild monsters in Dota, the Seth thieves in the foothills of the northern valley have different abilities: some can remain invisible after being stationary; some can attack from a distance and have the troublesome skill of purification; and some are elite. Monsters have powerful skills such as corpse manipulation, evil aura, and mana burning. In short, if you underestimate these guys, you will definitely pay the price!

After introducing all the monsters they might encounter, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Yan Yuelan briefly summarized and finally repeated his mission: "To rush to the top of the mountain in the shortest possible time, there is only one challenge. Therefore, the monsters on the road can be bypassed as much as possible. Let's try our best to get around them. From this main mountain road, we rush directly to the top of the mountain."

Zhao Dingguo looked up at the mountain and asked, "Can you test it first?"

Yan Yuelan shook his head and said: "You can first familiarize yourself with the path up the mountain, or the terrain that can be used, but you can't do that with the distribution of monsters. Because after the mission starts, a copy of a secret realm will be temporarily opened here. .Although the terrain inside is roughly the same, the monsters are completely random."

"Does that mean there's no trickery left?"

Zhao Dingguo was a little disappointed, but if it can be tried and tested again and again. Then this limited one-time challenge opportunity would be meaningless. Therefore, he quickly cheered up and looked at the main mountain road at the bottom of the mountain, and then planned to walk around with Yan Yuelan - even if there are some differences in the terrain when entering the temporary secret realm, it is roughly the same, and he can also get familiar with it. The fighting methods of various monsters encountered.

In racing missions, combat should be avoided as much as possible, but there will always be times when you can't get around it. The more familiar you are with your opponent, the faster you can turn around and kill them.

"Walk."

As an enhancement to the melee combat system. Of course Yan Yuelan was at the front. Zhao Dingguo thought for a moment and summoned a lava elf, assuming that it would serve as her guard.

Although playing with fire in the mountains and forests is a bit dangerous. But with the mastery of bloodline, the summoned lava elves can now roughly control the flame energy from leaking out. If he had just obtained the bloodline, he would not have dared to use it in such a place.

The battle started from the moment the two entered the mountain.

The first one encountered was the ordinary Jungle Walker. The basic transfer speed of this mob was only 270 points when converted to the value in the Dota regular season, which was far worse than Zhao Dingguo. Although the armor is okay, the attack power is terrible. Zhao Dingguo tried to withstand its punch, but only lost 13 points of blood - although this was a real damage reduction effect triggered, even if it added 8 points of damage. Its attack hardly poses any threat to the two of them.

The lava elf summoned by Zhao Dingguo alone can easily defeat it.

Neither of them had any interest in dealing with this little monster without any special abilities. They quickly dealt with it and then accelerated inside.

Because you are unlikely to encounter powerful monsters at the foot of the mountain, this is the beginning of the journey. Both were relaxed. Zhao Dingguo felt a little bored, so he casually brought up a topic: "I remember that the skills you strengthened were the legion commander's moment of courage and the phantom spearman's juxtaposition? These two skills have been around a long time ago. Is it possible recently? Didn’t you gain any new skills?”

Yan Yuelan looked at the surrounding environment carefully and said: "If you want it, there will definitely be new skills. But if I gain bloodline, I can only keep three skills with my current skill slots. Moment of Courage is not bad, The effect of juxtaposition is even more obvious for the ghost bloodline. Anyway, if there are too many, you will eventually forget them, so I want this third skill to be particularly satisfying, so I have been working hard.”

It turns out that it is also limited to the lack of skill positions.

Zhao Dingguo nodded and asked curiously: "What skills do you plan to match with the last skill position?"

This question was slightly related to sex, but Yan Yuelan didn't care and told him directly: "After thinking about it, I think the passive skill counterattack of the Centaur Chief is suitable for me. At level one, I can deal with those who attack him. The enemy inflicts 16 points of damage + 26% of its own strength each time, and it ignores magic immunity. With this, coupled with the ghost's refraction and even blade armor, it is estimated that countless people can be killed by the rebound!"

"It's indeed a good idea."

Zhao Dingguo recalled the special effects of refraction and counterattack, and couldn't help but praise them in agreement. This skill is indeed very suitable for the ghost bloodline. If you encounter some squishy mages, I am afraid that the damage caused by the attack alone can kill you!

But then again, is this skill so difficult to obtain?

Zhao Dingguo remembered that Yan Yuelan had these two skills as early as when he formed a team to go into the Southern Wilderness to kill the Deep Sea Priest. After playing so many games now, if you really can’t get it, you can spend your victory points to buy one on the platform. Although the one you bought is only level one, after you get the bloodline, you will be forced to drop it even if your skill level is high. Level one is enough.

"That's not the problem."

Yan Yuelan killed the Jungle Rambler in front of him who had gone out without reading the almanac with one blow, and said helplessly: "The key is that these two skills are highly dependent on blood, and they conflict with each other and cannot be possessed at the same time. If you want If it is forcibly superimposed, the counterattack effect obtained may be very poor, and according to the platform’s reply, I need to pay an additional 3,000 victory points for this!”

"So expensive?"

Hearing this price, Zhao Dingguo couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Just redeeming this skill requires more than a thousand victory points? Coupled with the additional cost of 3,000 victory points, this number is absolutely unbearable for her.

Zhao Dingguo's winning rate in the regular season is extremely high, and he makes a lot of money on the main plane on weekdays, but 3,000 win points is a number that will break the bank. For ordinary users, even if they save for a year, they may not be able to squeeze it out. After all, daily battles inevitably consume various supplies, as well as props such as developing dust and teleportation scrolls. Although the prices of these things may seem inconspicuous, they are still a considerable investment when accumulated.

Even if Yan Yuelan is an elite dragon knight, he will never be richer than Zhao Dingguo.

"So, I let go of this skill for the time being, but used the victory points on my body to make a piece of blade armor - I got the mage robe myself, and the chain armor was exchanged for other equipment. The only thing that cost money It’s that broad sword. But the total cost only cost 2,000, which is much more cost-effective than forcing a counterattack without pursuing level 1.”

This is undoubtedly a wise choice.

The newly emerged Cester thieves seemed to agree with Zhao Dingguo's point of view and came out of the shade with a sickle.

Yan Yuelan went up to him with his sword, and at the same time, he did not forget to tease him: "There is nothing we can do about it, I am not as rich as you - I even took out the magic staff, I admire you!"

Her admiration was sincere.

Being able to get Aghanim's Scepter at the Rising Sun level is not something that ordinary people can do. What's more, she has also heard about the recent battles that Zhao Dingguo has become famous for. Although she was one of the best among the Dragon Knight knights, she really felt that she couldn't compare with Zhao Dingguo.

"Be careful, an advanced monster has appeared."

Zhao Dingguo still wanted to be humble, but when he turned his eyes, he saw a larger Jungle Favorite appearing from the left rear of Yan Yuelan, and he couldn't help but warn him quickly.

The Jungle Favorite is a variant of the ordinary Jungle Walker, capable of summoning three ordinary tree warriors to fight together. In addition, it has a passive skill of heavy attack, which has a 15% chance of causing an additional 25 points of damage and giving a 1 second stun. The additional damage from this heavy hit is not high and can almost be ignored, but the 1 second of dizziness is not short. If you are accidentally surrounded by several monsters of the same type, you may even be knocked into a dazed state continuously.

Although their attack power is not very high, if they are entangled too much, the final racing mission will undoubtedly be affected.

The appearance of the Jungle Favored One marks the beginning of the real battle.

Zhao Dingguo and Yan Yuelan also put away their previous laxity and began to concentrate on dealing with these monsters that kept emerging.

In just half an hour, Zhao Dingguo and Yan Yuelan encountered more than a dozen battles. Such a high frequency made the two of them a little worried. Once you enter the dungeon, the difficulty you encounter may be even higher than this. By then, even if the two of them want to avoid the battle, they may not be able to avoid so many monsters. However, before the two of them could stop to take a breath, the first elite monster battle since entering the foothills of the northern valley began.

Moreover, this battle directly encountered two elites!
