Part-time BOSS.

Chapter 383 Landing in Northrend

After this brief episode ended, the fleet continued to head north, and two new warships were added. Murphy had to assign some sailors to the ship. The combat effectiveness was too small to count on, but it did increase the carrying capacity. Quite a few, not as crowded as it was initially.

The following voyage can be described as smooth sailing, with the escort of the Storm Dragon Knight, there were no unscrupulous wild monsters who dared to provoke the fleet. On the third day, the fleet entered the icy waters of Northrend. .

Before seeing the shadow of the Northrend continent, the weather gave the expedition fleet a disarm.

The air suddenly became icy cold, the bitter sea breeze was mixed with snowflakes, the sky gradually became cloudy, and the dark and gloomy sea water was mixed with ice, which was slapped on the ship's side by the waves from time to time, making a deafening crash.

The bitter cold wind hit the passengers on the fleet, bringing bursts of chills, stiff hands and feet, and some freezing damage.

Alteracs like Murphy and Razidanan are fine, because Alteracs live in a world of ice and snow, and they have 30 points of cold resistance. This kind of extremely cold weather is not a problem.

Others don't have it so easy.

Especially the Storm Dragon Knights, the Dragon Slayer Knights are trained by various types of knights, including North Wind Knights, Lordaeron Noble Knights, Feudal Knights, Ranger Knights, etc...

Except for the Northern Wind Knight's own cold resistance, the other Dragon Knights felt the same way.

Murphy glanced at the extra DEBUFF above his head.

[Cold wind: You will receive 60 points of cold damage every 20 seconds, and get a layer of cold effect, reducing the movement speed and attack speed by 1%. This effect can be stacked up to 100 times. After the stack reaches 100%, the unit Will be frozen into an ice sculpture.

Note: The cold wind in Northrend can bring a terrible chill. Those travelers who are not prepared will often die in the cold. Only the warm fire can dispel the ice and snow and bring you the hope of life. 】

This thing is environmental damage, almost unavoidable.

Of course, there seems to be a lot to deal with. The easiest way is to pile up ice resistance. As long as the ice resistance is above 20 points, you will not be hurt.

The elementalists on board had to give everyone else the buff of 'resistance to cold' one by one.

Fortunately, this debuff takes effect very slowly, and it takes at least half an hour to accumulate to affect the action.

And as long as it is close to the flame, this DEBUFF will be cleared quickly, so it is generally acceptable.

Morgan Lisa (Grand Arcanist): "Heh, are we almost here? It's really cold here."

The mage is convenient. Morgan Lisa directly put on a 'lava shield' for herself, covering her whole body in a layer of scorching fire. It was like a walking stove.

Aidan (Head of the Dragon Knights): "It's really cold, but don't worry, I'm ready for this expedition. If there are adventurers who can use BUFF, they can light torches if it doesn't work. It's no problem."

"Captain, it's an iceberg!" A voice suddenly came from the observation deck.

Sure enough, on the sea in the distance, there was a huge iceberg slowly approaching the fleet.

Captain Shandel immediately turned his direction, preparing to avoid the iceberg, but the iceberg seemed to be in trouble with the fleet, and unexpectedly approached slowly.

When they were only a few hundred meters away, Murphy suddenly noticed a long durability bar on the top of the iceberg.

Dangerous iceberg (ice element aggregate) has a durability of 195000.

I wiped it, but there is still blood?
Don't be afraid if you have blood bars.

Aidan (Leader of the Dragon Slayer Knights): "Avoid the front! Sides—ready to fire! Heavy artillery salvo!"

The gun windows were opened one after another, and a heavy artillery salvo was aimed at the iceberg.

Rumble!A row of shells hit the iceberg, and the huge recoil caused the Storm Dragon King to tilt violently.
-
1001! -1013! -996! -999! ...

A round of volley blasted more than 3 HP, and it is almost impossible to miss such a large iceberg.

After a few rounds of salvos, the iceberg cracked, followed by another salvo.

boom!The huge iceberg collapsed instantly, exposing the body inside.

But it is a 'Frost Elemental', just an elite monster.

It was another round of salvo, and the frost element was killed on the spot, but unfortunately, no equipment could be revealed.

Murphy couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and what made him speechless was that soon another iceberg appeared in the distance.

"Do you still want to attack?"

"Don't fight, let's go around."

Murphy could figure it out. These activated icebergs should be formed by frost elements absorbing sea water and gradually condensing. They should be special life forms in the Northrend sea area. They are not bosses at all, so don't waste shells.

Fortunately, the iceberg moved very slowly and was quickly thrown away.

This thing is really a bit weird, Mo Fei didn't dare to be careless, and sent out the dragon patroller again, and then found the iceberg to bypass it in advance.

Fortunately, this kind of "dangerous iceberg" is not common, coupled with the air early warning, the fleet did not encounter any danger.

It is convenient to have air force reconnaissance.

At night, something unusual happened again.

A reconnaissance dragon patroller flew back to the ship in a hurry.

Dragon Control Skywatcher: "Your Highness, a ship has been found five nautical miles away."

Murphy thought it was just a boat, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

Dragon Patrolman: "That seems to be a—ghost ship!"

Murphy was taken aback, ghost ship?He has never seen this thing before, but he has heard of the legend of the ghost ship. It is said that the ghost ship was created by Hela, the goddess of death, to collect the souls lost at sea. Today, I want to see it.

After thinking for a while, Mo Fei decided to check it out himself.

With a leap, the moment it landed on the sea, it turned into a giant storm dragon and flew in the direction of the ghost ship.

From a distance, I saw a green ghostly light on the dark sea.

A huge warship shrouded in a ghostly aura was sailing silently in the night.

Ghost Mist (giant ghost ship) world-class Tier 225000 BOSS.The life value is [-].

My god, how can everything in this hellish place be a monster?

A normal ship should be a vehicle template, but this thing is a BOSS template.

By the way, shouldn't the boss be the captain of the ghost ship?
He got a little closer, and from a distance, he could vaguely see that there were indeed many ghost pirates on the bed.

Maybe there really is a ghost captain boss on it.

It's better not to provoke this thing.

Murphy didn't dare to keep approaching. There will always be losses when brushing the boss. Although the battle with the Raging Tide Raiding Fleet was a crushing battle, he still lost seven dragon patrollers and twelve or three died. As an adventurer, I don't know how much I will lose by playing this thing. My goal is to slay dragons, so I can only give up on this kind of wild boss.

Let the dragon patroller who followed him go back and inform the captain to let the fleet bypass.

Murphy himself continued to monitor the ghost ship from the sky. The ghost ship floated quietly on the sea surface, exuding ghostly shadows, sailing peacefully on the sea surface without even a track. Under the sea surface, the ghost ship Behind the boat, there are more than a dozen iron chains hundreds of meters long, and countless "lost souls" are tied to each iron chain.

The scene was quite strange.

Murphy watched the ghost ship disappear into the icy sea, and then flew back to the sky above the fleet and landed on the Storm Dragon King.

The fleet continued to sail in the pitch-black ocean, and at noon, they finally saw the horizon of the Northrend continent in the distance.

Murphy took out the map and checked it. Their current location should be the Howling Fjord.

The Howling Fjord is a treacherous area composed of broken reefs and cliffs facing the sea. The terrain is undulating, and the canyons are crisscrossed. The sea water forms steep bays in these canyons, making offshore navigation very dangerous.

Whenever the north wind howls and blows into the stone walls of the canyon, it will make a shrill howling sound, hence the name of Howling Fjord.

Murphy also has an old friend living here, but he is not going to visit.

Continuing to drive westward away from the coastline, broken cliff canyons are gradually replaced by ice-covered frozen coasts, and large ice floes gradually appear on the sea.

You can see many penguins looking at the fleet on the cross-flowing ice. Occasionally, you can also see tusrus people driving unique fishing boats to go fishing. When they see the fleet approaching, they will often flee quickly. Sometimes they don’t even want the boat. Yes, jump directly into the sea.

As the ice floes gradually increased, Murphy had to ask the captain to reduce the speed to prevent the ship from being hit by the ice floes.

However, collisions are still inevitable, and each collision will reduce the durability of the battleship.

Murphy began to regret this. He ignored the dangerous environment in Northrend during his preparations, and did not build an icebreaker. These ordinary warships were constantly losing their durability under the impact of the ice floes. There are a lot of materials, and there are craftsmen on board, who can repair while sailing.

From time to time, artillery was used to bombard the ice floes that were too close.

Even when it was too dangerous, Murphy had to transform into a giant dragon and fly into the sky to escort the fleet.

Thunder breath!

boom!A huge ice floe was smashed directly, and the scattered ice blocks no longer pose a threat to the battleship.

"Wow, Brother Aidan is so handsome." A soft and cute voice came from below,

You don't need to guess to know that it is the voice of that cute big tit.

After sailing along the desolate and icy coast for a whole day, at noon on the fourth day, I finally found some buildings on the coast and a simple trestle bridge stretching out to the sea.

It's the port!
No, to be precise, it should be the pier.

The pier is small, and the village above it is also small.

But it was still a stronghold, and Murphy was planning to land here.

The fleet did not stop and approached directly, so he ordered the fleet to anchor two or 300 meters away from the coastline.

First, several landing boats were sent to transport more than 100 adventurers and their heroes up.

Stepping on the pier and looking around, there is a small port village in front of you. The architectural style is very primitive. It is built with huge logs. Some things like totem poles can be seen on the periphery of the village.

Murphy didn't remember that there was an Alliance settlement in Northrend, maybe it was a camp for monsters, Viking pirates, tuskarr fishermen or something.

To his surprise, there was no one in the village.

Not to mention people, not even a monster.

Walking all the way to a simple hall in the center of the village, I still haven't encountered a single monster or NPC.

Murphy pushed open the door, and there was an extinguished firepit in the hall. Judging from the style and specifications, it seemed to belong to the Vrykul.

Strange, where have all the people gone?Did any players come before them?But even if they were wiped out by the players, at least the corpses should be left behind.

After checking it, he didn't see any reason, so Murphy decided not to care about it.

"Let's log in here."

This small village is at least a stronghold, and a coordinate point can be displayed on the map.

In the game, we will never design meaningless things. Generally speaking, there is always a subtle connection between strongholds. Starting from here, you will definitely find more monster settlements, or dungeons, dungeons, Ruins and stuff like that.

At worst, it can trigger a mission or something.

Following Murphy's order, the adventurers couldn't wait to go ashore one after another, followed by the dragon blood giant warriors of the Dragon Sorrow Knights.

The small village quickly fills up.

Murphy sent ten dragon-controllers to investigate. There was no obvious path in the cold wasteland. He was going to confirm the information before moving on.

However, at night, only seven storm drakes flew back.

The situation is not good.

Listening to the returning Dragon Sky Surveyor's report on the geographical situation detected, Mo Fei couldn't help but think about it as he watched the night gradually darken.

Razidanan: "Your Highness, what should we do now? Did you encounter a monster?"

Murphy nodded, "It should be, and it's a flying monster."

The dragon-controllers fly at high altitudes, even if they are long-range monsters, it is impossible to shoot them down.

The only possibility is that there is a flying monster, could it be that ancient dragon?
It also feels possible. According to the information provided by the Explorers Association, the white dragon should have established its own dragon group.

Murphy collected the maps he had scouted, and the direction where the dragon knights disappeared. The dangerous area is mainly located in the northwest, while there are no enemies in the northeast. There is a wasteland where there are a lot of wild animals, reindeer, and arctic wolves. , crampon bears, mammoths and the like.

Although wild beasts are also monsters, they are the least dangerous among monsters, because wild beasts generally fight alone, except for wolves that gather a certain number, they basically do not pose a threat to the army.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Murphy refused to move in the northeast direction, and instead aimed his gaze at the northwest direction on the map.

Since there is danger, I just want to go there.

Assemble the troops - let's go!
