Chapter 25: Trolls and Queens
In the past three days, Wang Zha had seen countless players passing by here and entering the depths of Huangshan Mountain, but no team ever came back with a smile, either seriously injured or fled in a hurry.
Wang Zha once grabbed several players who had escaped and asked about the situation deep in Huangshan. As a result, all of these players shouted "monsters" in a mental breakdown, and fled from Huangshan in fear.
This is the first time Wang Zha has seen a player who came out of the depths of Huangshan Mountain, not only unscathed but also so calm.
The girl's expression didn't look like she had just lost her teammate. She was probably the "Lone Ranger" just like him.
"You went into the depths of Huangshan alone before?" Wang Zha asked in surprise.
"Yes." The girl nodded expressionlessly.
Wang Zha was shocked. The flowing [Backstab] just now seemed to be no coincidence. The girl was definitely a master, at least an excellent assassin.
After finally seeing a player who came out of the depths of Huangshan Mountain and was so calm, Wang Zha certainly would not miss such an excellent opportunity to inquire about information.
Wang Zha asked: "What's going on ahead? Many people escaped from it, shouting 'monster'. What kind of monster is there?"
Although the girl looked expressionless, she was not cold. She answered Wang Zha’s questions at all and replied: “There is a village ahead.
Wang Zha said in surprise: "Village? Where does the village come from in Huangshan?"
The girl said, "The Goblin village."
Wang Zha suddenly said, "What do you mean... is there a goblin tribe in front of you?"
The girl fell into silence, her expression seemed to be thinking, and she seemed to be just staring blankly. After a few seconds, she said expressionlessly: "Many goblins have two doors and several wooden houses, which are villages."
Wang Zha was shocked. The village and the tribe seemed to be similar at first glance, but in fact they were two concepts that were very different.
A group of goblins live in a cave, which can only be called a "tribe", but if they live in a built building, they can be called a "village".
The main difference between the two is whether there is a "queen" in the ethnic group.
Goblins are monsters with far more male than females. There is probably only one female goblin in a thousand goblins.
Female goblins will mate with different male goblins during the breeding period and give birth to a large number of small goblins.
Female goblins are the fundamental premise for the reproduction and growth of the Goblin tribe, so they have a very high status and belong to the "Queen" in the Goblin tribe.
The Goblin tribe without a "queen" has no concept of domination, but once a "queen" appears in the tribe, the tribe will inevitably develop vertically, and the most common situation is the emergence of "village".
In other words, once the goblin builds a "village", it can almost be determined that there is a "queen" in the ethnic group.
"Queen of Goblin..."
Wang Zha couldn't help but have evil thoughts. The Goblin Queen is one of the 10 rare-level monsters that have been updated in version 1.0, and it belongs to the BOSS category. If the probability bonus of the BOSS first kill is added, the probability of dropping the skill book is close to one-tenth!
To be honest, such a high drop rate is too tempting, but the risks are relatively high. There must be a large number of Goblin tribes that can build "villages", and the entire Goblin tribe will protect the "Queen" at any cost. Not to mention killing the Goblin queen of unknown rank, it is difficult to get close to it.
This is not simply challenging the boss, but provoking the entire Goblin tribe.
Having said that, Wang Zha couldn't help but ask: "Can you tell me about the situation in the Goblin Village? For example, how many numbers, how to distribute combat power, and where is the queen..."
Wang Zha did not realize how difficult the information he wanted was to obtain. Perhaps it was the girl's personality that asked questions and answers made him a little abrupt.
"have no idea."
The girl said expressionlessly: "There are ten goblins guarding the front entrance of the village, and there is a troll on the side entrance, and I can't get in."
"Troll!?"
Wang Zha was shocked.
Trolls are violent monsters that combine evil and power. If Wang Zha remembers correctly, only one of them will awaken and evolve into a troll in ten thousand goblins. It is a rarer existence than the queen!
A queen and a troll appeared in a goblin tribe at the same time, which was simply a chosen clan.
"Although the trolls are not bosses, they are rare monsters like the Goblin Queen. Even if there is no bonus for the first kill of the boss, the drop rate of skill books is as high as one-fifty."
Wang Zha thought to himself.
One fifty!
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Wang Zha felt that his heartbeat was accelerating. The higher the risk, the greater the opportunity. The temptation brought by the skill book is really irresistible, but the risks of coexistence between the troll and the queen cannot be ignored.
what to do?
"The troll guarding the side gate is only level 5."
The girl seemed to have seen through Wang Zha's heart and suddenly said, "And there is no support."
Wang Zha's eyes lit up slightly and he asked quickly: "Are you sure there is no support?"
The girl said: "There is a five-man team that fought with the trolls for a minute without goblin support."
"That is to say, the trolls are isolated for at least one minute? If they can kill the trolls in one minute..."
Wang Zha murmured to himself, and after a moment he looked up and asked, "What kind of combat power is that five-man team? How many did they run in the end?"
Wang Zha's question mainly wanted to understand the specific combat power of the level 5 troll.
The girl really answered questions and said expressionlessly: "One is okay, four rookies. Three were killed and two were caught."
Is this answer a brief summary?
Wang Zha complained in his heart, but his expression was a little heavy. It is normal for trolls to destroy a five-man team, but it is different to capture two alive. Only when the combat powers of the two sides are different from one hundred thousand, eight thousand miles apart will it be possible to capture them alive.
This troll doesn't seem so easy to mess with.
The girl seemed to have really seen through Wang Zha’s inner thoughts and suddenly said, “One knife, I stabbed the troll with [back stab].”
Wang Zha breathed tightly and asked quickly, "What's the result? How did it happen?"
The girl said, "I can't stab it in, the troll's skin is very hard."
Sneak and sneak attack, kill with one knife, is the art of assassin.
But if one knife cannot kill you, you must escape decisively, which is the highest criterion for the assassin.
The girl stabbed the troll with [Back Stitch], but she couldn't even stab her skin. This means that she had no choice but to take the troll, and it was a blessing that she could run away safely.
Wang Zha shrugged and said, "Then there is nothing we can do."
“There is a way.”
The girl said expressionlessly: "As long as I stabbed three times in the same position in a row, I can break the defense."
Wang Zha chuckled and said, "Every time an assassin attacks, the success rate will drop by a large part. How can it be so easy to stab three consecutively, unless..."
Wang Zha's voice suddenly came to an abrupt end.
The girl stared at Wang Zha silently, her eyes as transparent as glass, were dull, without eye waves, but seemed to be flashing with light.
Wang Zha swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Unless someone restrains himself, firmly holds the hatred of the trolls, and helps you create time and space for sneak attacks."
The girl nodded gently and continued to stare at Wang Zha silently.
Wang Zha finally knew why the girl would have questions and answers, and the reason was waiting for him here.
Wang Zha looked straight into the girl's eyes, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "You hope that I will form a team with you to help you restrain the trolls and allow you to stab three times, right?"
“I don’t like teaming.”
The girl looked at Wang Zha's eyes and said expressionlessly: "But if my teammate was you, I don't hate it."
