DOTA’s Madness

"What do you think?"

Yin Ci already knew what to do. I asked this just because I wanted to examine the newly appointed director in front of me.

After carefully looking at the terrain ahead, Zhao Dingguo also had a countermeasure, and said confidently: "From here to the 400 meters to the edge of the lava lake, you can use the mist of trickery to sneak over. When we find a good opportunity to take action, the two of us will take action first. Then Li Feng launched a large support from the position near the lake!"

"The two of us?"

Yin Ci noticed Zhao Dingguo's words and thought of something keenly: "Do you also have the ability to avoid detection by the True Eye?"

Zhao Dingguo smiled, nodded and said: "When the ghost walk is turned on, there will be deep invisibility for the first three seconds. Until then, I have to ask you to explore the way ahead. As long as I determine the position of Xu Zhiguo's wards, I can use the three Seconds of deep invisibility passed directly.”

Yin Ci had no objection: "Just do as you say."

After deciding on the plan, the next thing to do is to wait patiently. They only need to intervene at the best time to prevent Xu Zhiguo from killing the Lava Dragon Egg Lord, or force him to retreat, and then they will be done. This mission is much simpler than a frontal battle, and it mainly depends on how well you grasp the timing.

This wait takes roughly half an hour.

Xu Zhiguo and his teammates carefully completed the cleaning and search of the surrounding area, and then followed the winding passage onto the peninsula deep into the lava lake. Before that, Zhao Dingguo clearly noticed that he and his teammates each made an eye-piercing move, and they obviously set up sentry guards.

Really cautious enough.

With some sighs, Zhao Dingguo, Li Feng and Yin Ci opened the fog of conspiracy and gradually followed. Occupied by the heat wave of the lava lake, it was impossible to see clearly the details of the small island in the center of the lake from the position just now. Sanru could only move forward further, covered by the gray mist, until he reached the lake.

This place is less than two hundred meters away from the front part of the peninsula, so the view is naturally no problem.

"They're going to take action!"

At Li Feng's reminder, Sanru found a good position and observed carefully.

If you want to disrupt the enemy's invasion, you must understand the Lava Dragon Egg Lord. Although they had done some research before coming and had a rough idea, it was not as reliable as seeing it with their own eyes.

The moment Xu Zhiguo strolled forward, the calm lava lake changed.

The largest lava lake nearby was formed by the eruption of an active volcano thousands of meters away. At the end of the lake is the lair of the Lava Dragon Egg Lord. However, the entire lava lake, especially the large peninsula area deep into the lava lake, is the territory of the Lava Dragon Egg Lord. Feeling that its authority was violated, the Lava Dragon Egg Lord let out an angry roar and swam quickly from the foot of the volcano.

Its huge size and strength caused it to stir up the entire lava lake along the way.

The power of this elite monster is still higher than that of the two flame spirits that were previously killed. Moreover, although the Fire Spirit's spells are powerful, its body is relatively fragile, similar to that of a normal magic elite monster. The Lava Dragon Egg Lord in front of him is the top melee elite monster, and his health value is probably three to five times higher than that of the Flame Spirit. What makes it troublesome is that it also has a variety of long-range means, making it the most versatile and difficult to deal with among all monsters!

Faced with the lava dragon egg lord who crawled out of the lava lake in person, Xu Zhiguo also truly felt the pressure coming towards his face.

A huge body four to five meters high, covered in hot magma. Two thick forelimbs dragged backwards a stone spear made of pure lava. The long tail drags in the lava lake, stirring the lava into huge ripples from time to time. Seeing Xu Zhiguo in front of it, it opened its mouth and spewed out a long stream of magma.

It's like an enhanced version of a flamethrower!

Xu Zhiguo's four clones quickly retreated and avoided the blow. As expected, his main body chose to hit it forcefully, obviously evaluating its damage. However, the results don't look promising.

After being given a show of strength, the Lava Dragon Egg Lord officially climbed onto the peninsula in the middle of the lake and launched an attack on Xu Zhiguo. Almost at the same time, a summoning magic circle composed of flame runes appeared in front of it. Then, four lava dragon egg thieves two sizes smaller than it walked out.

These lava dragon egg thieves are also covered in flames. Once touched, they will suffer burning damage that lasts for 5 seconds. Compared with the somewhat clumsy Lava Dragon Egg Lord, these thieves are undoubtedly much more agile in their movements. Two of them flanked Xu Zhiguo from both sides, one on the left and the other on the right, while the other two rushed towards the master with the blood of the Enchantress behind him.

"Well done!"

Seeing two powerful summoned units rushing towards her, the Charming Witch was not nervous. Although he is an intellectual hero with a relatively fragile body, he has the powerful passive skill of inviolability and the charm that has been strengthened by mutation and soul equipment, so he has enough confidence.

The skill of charm was also the key to Xu Zhiguo's willingness to bring him here.

Originally, compared to ordinary units, summoned units are easier to control. What's more, the skills of the Enchantress have been doubled. Under his control, a golden light directly enveloped the lava dragon egg thief who was rushing at the front. Under the shroud of light, the dragon egg thief's movements immediately slowed down. The next second, the charm ability took effect, and the summoned dragon egg thief actually became the subordinate of the Charm Witch!

Under his control, the dragon egg thief immediately launched an attack on his nearby companions.

With just one skill, two powerful summoned units were restrained, which greatly reduced Xu Zhiguo's pressure.

With the bonus of the divine staff, he has four clones. With the main body temporarily restraining the lava dragon egg lord, the four clones had no problem dealing with the two lava dragon egg thieves.

This was the first time that Zhao Dingguo saw Xu Zhiguo's true combat power.

Under the effect of the continuous earth binding, one of the lava dragon egg thieves was continuously controlled in place. His clone outputs the other one with all its strength. After replacing the assault armor and vampire sacrifice, the multiple halos greatly increased his clone's combat power. Moreover, Zhao Dingguo very much suspected that Xu Zhiguo's passive skill Earth Raid had also been strengthened. The accumulated multiple damage and slowdown caused the lava dragon egg thief's health to drop rapidly.

"Geomancer is really a pervert..."

Li Feng, who was next to Zhao Dingguo, looked over and sighed.

Others challenge elite monsters one-on-one. Facing summoned units, it may often be one to many. But the Geomancer is different. With the size of the third-level divine staff, it can fight five against one, and it can also teleport between the clones and the main body at will. It is simply a shame!

As long as Qian lost his clones, he could have three clones fight the Dragon Egg Lord together with the main body, and then one clone would retreat far away. If you encounter danger, just retreat in advance. Unless the control and explosion of the Lava Dragon Egg Lord are super strong, the Geomancer can rely on this method to fight without limit.

"If he pulls all four clones over, the instant burst will be at least twice as powerful as mine... If there are any additional soul equipment and badge ability bonuses, it might be even higher."

Zhao Dingguo looked a little embarrassed after repeatedly estimating his output.

The two had briefly fought each other before when they rescued Shi who was being chased by Xu Zhiguo outside Mingzhu City. At that time, Zhao Dingguo did not really confront him head-on, so although it was barely a tie with the support of the Prophet, he lacked a comprehensive understanding of Xu Zhiguo's combat effectiveness. As his strength grew, Zhao Dingguo felt that he should be able to fight Xu Zhiguo. But now it seems that there are still some gaps - after all, while he is improving, the enemy is also improving his strength.

It seems that when Qian She intervenes later, he must be more careful.

After reminding himself, Zhao Dingguo continued to watch the battle seriously.

Summoning the Lava Dragon Egg Thief is just the appetizer for this powerful lord. Being handled easily by Xu Zhiguo doesn't mean anything. Next, with the earnestness of the Lava Dragon Egg Lord, the real battle has just begun!

The first thing used by the Dragon Egg Leader was to open the Lava Lord's halo!

This is a very abnormal skill. It forcibly removes 1.5% of the maximum health of nearby units every second. The effect is comparable to the full-level heart-breaking aura of the Necromancer in the regular season. If there is no strong recovery ability and enough resistance, just standing there for two minutes, the aura of the Lava Lord is enough to kill an ordinary fragile mage instantly.

In addition, the Lava Egg Lord itself has a lava skin similar to Permanent Sacrifice.

This is also a very abnormal range ability. The closer you are to the Lava Dragon Egg Lord, the higher the damage you will receive. If it is a melee unit, the maximum damage may be no less than 80 points per second. Even if the distance is farther, twenty or thirty meters away, the damage received will be at least 20 seconds!

Unfortunately, Xu Zhiguo's geomancer bloodline is a serious melee bloodline.

At the same time, it can withstand up to 80 points of lava skin damage per second, and at the same time, it must withstand 1.5% of the aura per second. These two alone are enough to kill you, not to mention the attack of the Lava Dragon Egg Lord itself. Xu Zhiguo soon felt this terrifying pressure after he solved the dragon egg thieves and launched an all-out attack.

Even with the blood-sucking halo provided by the sacrifice, his clone attack was not enough to withstand the simultaneous damage of the sacrifice and the halo.

Because, the lava skin not only has the damage of sacrifice, but also greatly increases the dragon egg lord's magic resistance and armor. In addition to the main body with magical equipment such as butterfly, strike, and divine staff, which can block it, the health of several clones began to decrease from the moment they approached. In this case, even with the added blood of the Charming Witch, it is absolutely impossible to resist.

As Zhao Dingguo and the others watched, Xu Zhiguo, who was well prepared, took out a scroll from the nameplate that seemed to be a group enhancement fire kang, and the effect was quite impressive.

Under the protection of that layer of dark red light, the blood volume of the four clones dropped at a much slower rate.
