The war situation developed as he expected. Slardar directly ordered a full charge. After losing a certain amount of his subordinates to withstand the two rounds of fire explosions of the two-headed ogre mage and entering the charging distance, a wave of salted fish thrusts directly overturned the ogre car. More than
a dozen extraordinary great naga found the two-headed ogre mage. Li Shengyuan sent a large number of ogres to stop them. However, they did not target the two-headed ogre at all. Instead, they took advantage of the characteristic of salted fish thrusts that could charge without a target, and a wave of long-distance charge broke through the interception until they were in front of the two-headed ogre mage.
Then, these two-headed ogre mages turned off the fire. The more powerful extraordinary-level opponents were in front of them, and there was no way they could free up their hands to continue bombing the battlefield.
So far, although his subordinates suffered huge losses from two waves of fire explosions, and the total force was less than a quarter of Li Shengyuan, he still had 17 extraordinary great naga in his hands, and the average strength of the remaining main great naga was far greater than that of the ogres, and the hard power was still greater than that of the opponent.
The situation was basically determined, and victory was in sight.
Lin Xiao looked down at the battlefield with a smile, occasionally glancing at Li Shengyuan in the distance. Although it was a bit difficult, he finally won.
The last melee lasted for three hours, mainly because the ogres were too tenacious, especially the eight-headed two-headed ogre magician. In terms of vitality, it was not inferior to the extraordinary great naga, but it was not as powerful as the domineering body. Even if
the whale hunter knight of the same extraordinary level stabbed with the salted fish, it could not kill with one blow.
At the same time, Lin Xiao also discovered a weakness of the salted fish stab in this battle, that is, this skill is a piercing damage. It is a magical skill against low-level enemies, but it is a bit useless against large-sized enemies with super vitality.
One blow can easily penetrate the body of the two-headed ogre magician, but with the extraordinary physique and vitality of the two-headed ogre magician, this blow is not fatal at all.
Lin Xiao squinted his eyes and thought in his mind that perhaps he could modulate a powerful skill suitable for slashing and load it on the great naga, specifically to deal with large-sized opponents with tenacious vitality.
Anyway, there are still two units of good fortune energy, so I can try it in the future.
"Well, write it down as a backup option."
He nodded and focused on observing the battlefield.
About half an hour later, as the two-headed ogre mage leader with the strongest vitality was surrounded and killed by several extraordinary great nagas who had freed up their hands, Li Shengyuan's entire army was wiped out.
And Lin Xiao was not doing well either. In the end, there were less than 300 fishmen and more than 200 great nagas left. Even two of the sixth-level great naga whale hunter knights died. They all died from the fire explosion of the two-headed ogre mage behind them. They were blown to death.
Although the hegemony is strong, it is not invincible after all.
After the battle, Lin Xiao calculated that in the previous battle, Li Shengyuan was indeed the strongest opponent he had encountered. The gap in strength between the two sides was very small.
Don't look at the fact that he still has so many main forces left in the end, because this time it was a field battle. There was no terrain available on the plains, and it was impossible to bring out the opponent's strength. If it was placed in other terrains, as long as there was a little available terrain, it would not be so easy for him to win.
After the battle, they took a short break, and the second round started soon.
As usual, Lin Xiao chose the default plane terrain. He looked up at Li Shengyuan in the distance, but saw that the other party's mouth was slightly raised and revealed a strange smile. He frowned and couldn't figure out what he meant for a while.
But he soon understood why the other party was smiling like that, because when the terrain of both sides was determined, the map that emerged in the virtual plane was a canyon from the lower left corner of the map to the upper right corner of the map, and he knew what the other party was thinking.
Yes, Li Shengyuan felt that he could not beat him with absolute strength, so he played a little trick and chose the canyon terrain when choosing the map.
According to the default rules in the summer camp, the challenge map is generally the default, starting from the plains, wastelands and other flat terrains.
If each side chooses the terrain, the terrain that appears is a super complex terrain selected by both sides, which can easily create some terrains that neither side is adapted to, so everyone defaults to the initial plain wasteland terrain.
If one side chooses a favorable terrain in the challenge, it is generally defaulted that it cannot beat the other side.
Of course, this is useless. Defaulting does not affect the outcome, and the challenge only depends on the result. Lin Xiao frowned and looked at the
canyon
full of hills. There was only one canyon in the middle diagonal, which was less than 100 meters wide and only a dozen meters narrowest. There were cliffs on both sides. He looked up at the complacent Li Shengyuan and chose to surrender.
There was no way to fight. There was no way to fight.
As long as they put the cannon fodder in front, and ten two-headed ogre mages stood in the middle and kept throwing out fire explosions, they could pile up all the way. There was no way to fight.
He couldn't say anything about this. They just broke the default rules and didn't violate the rules of the summer camp. He could only say that he was careless and didn't pay attention when determining the terrain. After
winning one game each, Lin Xiao directly chose the water terrain for the next and most critical third game.
Since the opponent didn't follow the rules, he would definitely not show mercy and directly choose the terrain that his family was best at.
Both sides confirmed, and soon a stunning terrain appeared in front of him.
Lin Xiao opened his mouth wide and looked at the simulated terrain in the plane in front of him. After a while, the corners of his mouth slowly opened into a long arc. He looked up and saw Li Shengyuan, who was also stunned. Suddenly, he put his hand on his forehead and laughed.
"This is really retribution!"
The terrain he chose was a water area, and the terrain Li Shengyuan chose was probably a mountain valley. So the choices of both parties were combined to form a strange terrain with countless broken mountains, waters, and flat lands.
The edges of the hills with smooth cross-sections were surrounded by water. Occasionally, a piece of land was in the water, or sometimes the grass was submerged by shallow water, or a large piece of flat land was surrounded by mountains on one side and water on the other. To get to other lands, you have to swim across.
In short, this is a chaotic terrain. Although there are roads between different open spaces and grasslands, many places are blocked by water and need to swim to get through.
So Lin Xiao said it was retribution after seeing the terrain, that is, this terrain is almost a blood counter to Li Shengyuan, just like the other party chose the sheep intestine canyon to blood counter him, and now Li Shengyuan's face is as black as the bottom of a pot.
This is one of the reasons why you have to default when choosing terrain, because different races have different suitable terrains. If both sides choose terrains that are suitable for their own clans, it is easy to have this kind of pitfall terrain.
This is not weird. If one side chooses the terrain of the underground world and the other side chooses the normal ground terrain, there will be some more outrageous maps, and one side can't fight at all.
At this time, Li Shengyuan had already sent his clan into the battlefield with a dark face. Fortunately, although the terrain is very weird, there is a large open space at both ends of the plane for the clans of both sides to enter. It is basically surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only a narrow valley exit, and a large area of water outside.
Li Shengyuan released all his followers and sent cannon fodder to block the entrance of the valley. It seemed that he wanted to defend this place to the death and counterattack.
Unfortunately, this was impossible.
With the order of the epic hero Slardar, many murlocs and great nagas rushed out of the valley entrance and plunged into the water, cheering and turning around in the plane along the winding water and land trails.
This road is super winding. The straight road is not very long, but it becomes longer after turning around.
It took more than an hour to travel, and the army stopped at a water area not far from the canyon where Li Shengyuan's followers were born.
Slardar climbed up the mountain to observe the terrain and ordered the murloc warlocks to start summoning water elementals.
One by one, the water elementals were summoned. After four waves, more than 4,000 and nearly 5,000 water elementals accumulated. Then the warlocks rested for a while and began to summon ridicules, pushing the lake water in the nearby waters to slowly surge up.
The summoned water element also possessed the power of summoning, and together with more than a thousand warlocks, they worked together to gather water from the lake farther away, eventually forming a huge wave over thirty meters high that rushed towards the valley entrance.
There was a burst of amazement above the sky, and someone said with certainty:
"Li Shengyuan is doomed to lose!"
"He was doomed to lose as soon as the opening terrain came out."
"This hero is quite powerful, he actually has such excellent command and response capabilities."
"Beat Li Shengyuan, the young man's strength has ranked among the strongest in the second echelon of this summer camp. Both his strength and potential are so outstanding that he deserves a special recruitment invitation."
"Are you sure you want to take out one?"
someone asked in doubt:
"I remember that you Ether only have five special recruitment places this year?"
"Yes, I have two in my hand now, but in fact the second one may not be used."
"That's right, the other six have been internally selected, and there are more than a dozen people in the second tier. It's great to be able to grab one. Those below the second tier have insufficient strength and potential and are not worthy of a special recruitment place."
"You don't want it?"
"Yes, but I only have one special recruitment place in my hand. I wanted to give it to him, but I just found a good seedling and the other party also accepted the invitation."
"That's unfortunate."
"Who said it wasn't? It's a pity that there are too few special recruitment places, otherwise I would definitely compete with you for it."
"Hehe."
While they were chatting, the battle in the plane was also coming to an end.
The murloc warlocks only summoned two waves of tides. The first wave rushed into the valley closed on three sides and directly rolled out most of Li Shengyuan's cannon fodder. Then the second wave rolled out all but ten two-headed ogre mages. Under the urging of the murloc warlocks and water elements, the surging river water formed a whirlpool with undercurrents outside the valley. A large number of murloc naga dived into the water and dragged the enemies who were rolled out into the water and drowned them alive.
Then, there was nothing else.
There were only ten two-headed ogre mages left. It was impossible for them to turn the tables. They were chopped to death by thousands of knives by the dense murlocs riding the waves into the valley.
The battle ended here. Lin Xiao's seat rose to Li Shengyuan's position, while Li Shengyuan's seat fell to the bronze level.
At this point, all challenges in this stage have ended, and six mythical quality five-star cards, one ancient god card, and two extra card slots have been obtained.
Well, it's not settled yet, because there are still players who have not completed the challenge, but he has secured it.
