Chapter 1112 Limited-time rescue
"Stop talking! Honey, please stop talking!"
Being criticized by his girlfriend in person, Gao Fei felt uncomfortable and changed the subject angrily.
"Let's get into the game quickly. If we don't save people, Director Gordon will be eaten alive by the old black dragon!"
"Don't worry, this is just a game after all. The plot won't advance until the players enter the game. I think the director can hold on for a while." Jiang Feng said happily.
Gao Fei switched to the first-person perspective. While the cutscene was not over, he took the time to open the star disk and investigate the arrogant black dragon.
The more powerful the boss, the less information the system provides. Gao Fei can only investigate Solomon Fury's challenge level, basic attributes and magic equipment, and knows nothing about other data.
The true dragon clan is a natural dragon blood sorcerer. As a middle-aged black dragon, Solomon Nutao has a spellcasting ability equivalent to a level 7 sorcerer, a challenge level of 13, and various attributes: strength 33, agility 14, constitution 27, intelligence 18, perception 20, and charm 25.
Gao Fei noticed something was wrong when he saw his attributes, which were obviously higher than the average level of middle-aged black dragons.
He continued to check the equipment carried by the evil dragon, and sure enough, it included a "gorgeous belt" with all attributes +4.
When Solomon Nutao changed from a human form to a giant dragon, the belt was integrated into his body and still exerted its magical effect.
In addition to the belt, the evil dragon also wore a magic ring on the ring fingers of both claws.
The "transformation ring" on his left hand allows Solomon Nutao to change into a human image at will and move around the city as Old Lucas.
The "Secondary Magic-Forbidden Ring" worn on the right hand, after being activated, can open a circle of "Secondary Spell Invalidation Barrier" around the dragon, with a radiation radius of 10 feet.
Any magic effect not higher than the 3rd ring cannot affect the inside of the barrier. On the contrary, Solomon Nutao is not restricted from casting spells from the inside of the barrier.
So, what spells does Solomon Nutao excel in?
Gao Fei curiously opened the unique secret skill of the "Thief of Magic" "Eye of Insight" to spy on the dragon's spell list.
…
0 rings-corrupted water, acid splash, wizard's hand, secondary phantom, detect magic;
1 ring-mage armor, shield, magic missile, charm humans;
2 rings-darkness, spider web, protection from arrows, cloud, flying insects and beasts;
3 rings-lightning beam, dispel, protective energy barrier.
…
Gao Fei rubbed his hands and was about to steal the dragon's spell, but Solomon Nutao rushed to knock down Police Chief James Gordon, held him in his claws, broke through the ceiling, and spread his wings to fly!
The dragon was hovering over the police station, and the vertical distance from the ground was no less than 100 feet. Gao Fei's "long-range technique" could only steal spells within 30 feet, so he had to temporarily give up the idea of stealing spells.
At the same time, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng finally received the main task prompt issued by the star disk:
…
Within three rounds, try to rescue Chief Gordon from the dragon's claws; or, on the premise of ensuring Chief Gordon's survival, cause at least 100 points of damage to Solomon Nutao!
…
The rescue time left for the protagonist group was only three short rounds.
In such a short time, it was too difficult to rescue the hostages from the claws of a giant dragon hovering in the air. Gao Fei and Jiang Feng had no idea at all, let alone Martin.
On the contrary, it seems easier to cause 100 points of damage to the dragon within three rounds?
However, as long as you think about it, you will find that this is not the case.
Solomon Nutao has "Mage Armor" and "Shield Spell" on his body, and his defense is ridiculously high.
What makes Gao Fei even more difficult is that this dragon is also wearing a "Secondary Forbidden Magic Ring", which is immune to magic below level 3.
Gao Fei's main output method "Scorching Ray" is only a level 2 spell, which cannot penetrate the dragon's forbidden magic barrier.
Jiang Feng's level 3 "Scorching Brilliance" is also unable to penetrate the forbidden magic barrier. Fortunately, she still has a level 4 "Flame Strike" that is not restricted by the barrier.
Jiang Feng was eager to save people, so he waved his hand and released the "Flame Strike" without thinking too much.
A golden-red column of fire shot up into the sky, like a hot fountain, instantly engulfing the dragon in the air.
HP-27!
Seeing this damage number, Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment.
The lethality of "Flame Strike" is as high as 15d6. It hit the black dragon hard, but the damage caused was obviously lower than the mathematical expectation. Was it because of bad luck, or did the opponent pass the reflex immunity?
Jiang Feng checked the battle record with confusion. It turned out that Solomon Nutao was also blessed with "Fireproof Barrier", which can absorb 120 points of fire damage cumulatively.
"Flame Strike" has two energies, "flame" and "light", each accounting for half. The former is absorbed by the "Fireproof Barrier", and only the latter can cause damage to Solomon Nutao, so the final damage data displayed is only half of the expected.
If that's all, Jiang Feng will continue to release "Flame Strike". After three rounds, the probability of cumulative damage exceeding 100 points is not low.
However, another system prompt forced her to give up continuing to cast spells.
At the same time when Solomon Nutao was bombarded by "Flame Strike", Director Gordon, who was held hostage by the evil dragon, was also accidentally injured by "Flame Strike" and suffered 54 points of damage!
If the fight continues like this, the hostage will die before the rescue mission is completed.
The first round has ended, Jiang Feng is so anxious that he keeps biting his lips, but he can't think of a way to save the hostage.
On the other side, Gao Fei and Martin were also trying to attack the dragon.
Neither of them had a spell suitable for dealing with Solomon Rage, so they could only raise their guns and shoot at the dragon hovering overhead.
However, the bullets fired by the two were all deflected by the hard dragon scales and failed to break the defense.
The middle-aged black dragon has 20 points of natural armor, and with the gain provided by the protection spell, Solomon Rage's defense level is as high as 38!
Gao Fei shot Solomon Rage, and he could only break the defense if the attack check dice rolled 20 points of "big success", and the probability of this was only a pitiful 5%.
Even if Gao Fei won the bet and hit a 4x critical hit with one shot, the mathematical expectation of the damage was only about 60 points, and at least two critical hits were required to complete the task.
This was really too difficult.
Gao Fei didn't want to gamble on his luck, so he had to give up the second pass condition and try to get close to the dragon and rescue Director Gordon from the dragon's claws.
The system was counting down, and there were two rounds left in the rescue operation.
Gao Fei thought for a moment, then turned around and whispered to Martin.
Martin nodded repeatedly, put away his rifle, and used the Level 3 "Monster Summoning Technique" to summon a giant eagle and ordered it to fly into the sky.
The giant eagle flew towards Solomon Raging Waves under the order of its master. As soon as it approached the evil dragon, it was frightened by the dragon's might and trembled all over. It had no courage to attack its natural enemy.
Martin didn't expect the giant eagle to kill the evil dragon. He summoned it only to act as cannon fodder to distract the evil dragon and facilitate the rescue operation that Gao Fei and Jiang Feng were about to launch.
