Chapter 376: Attack and killing add fuel to the fire
Some level inside the dark tower, in the dark palace.
A mage player in his thirties from the Kingdom of Jiagua is dealing with the remaining monsters on this level.
He has darker skin and is wearing the signature loose thin clothes developed by the Jawagu Kingdom to adapt to the hot climate. He wears a pointed wizard hat on his head and holds a hand in his hand. A short gray-black staff.
With his waving movements, fireballs the size of basketballs continued to bombard the surrounding black monsters like automatic cannonballs.
At present, he has easily eliminated most of these monsters with sharp teeth and claws, leaving only three of the largest individuals still struggling to survive the fireball attacks.
“These things are very weak... There is a flat floor on this floor, which can be used as a resting place after cleaning.”
While maintaining his offensive, this Jawaguo player Thinking in my heart.
But don't think that he is careless when he discovers that the enemy is weak. A little unexpected situation will put him in danger.
In fact, players who can reach his level will not have this shortcoming. He seems to be playing very casually at the moment, but his defense and investigation work have not fallen behind at all.
The specific manifestation is that he has been maintaining a spell called "Invisible Defense", always letting go of his perception to pay attention to any movement around him, and he also holds a small prop in his hand, which can be dispatched immediately when encountering danger. Something useful.
Ho~Ho~
At this time, all the ordinary black monsters in front of him had been destroyed by fireballs. Only the three largest elite monsters were still alive, but they were also burned by fireballs. It was not easy. He was constantly forced to run away from the many fireballs fired by this player. He was unable to launch a counterattack and could only roar and make meaningless threats.
However, just when this person was about to launch the final attack to destroy these elite monsters, he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, and at the same time squeezed a certain prop in his hand!
Quack, quack, quack!
A noisy frog cry suddenly appeared in the air, followed by shock ripples centered on this Jawgua player!
The ripples spread out in all directions at an extremely fast speed, first scattering the corpses of monsters on the ground around them, and then creating violent ripples in the seemingly empty air, making the outlines of the two axes instantly disappear. An outline appeared in front of this player's eyes and approached fiercely!
“There is an enemy!”
The player in the Jiagua Kingdom was suddenly shocked. Strong flames rose up from his body in an instant, covering him up into a burning man. This is called flame Shield defensive skills.
Then he tried to dodge sideways, but the enemy's attack came too fast and before he could completely dodge, two axes hit his neck, severely damaging him. The body's flame shield defense.
But when the ax penetrated deeper, it encountered unexpected obstacles and greatly slowed down its power. It was a power called invisible defense.
"Death Ray!"
The player who was sneak-attacked barely survived the first round of attacks and wanted to counterattack, then he sensed a vague and thin figure emerging in the distance. , a long string of pitch-black light was emitted by the staff held by this figure, and struck him with a terrifying chill.
What made him even more frightened was that a large group of strange mosquitoes exuding a terrifying and dangerous aura had appeared beside him before he knew it, and they penetrated the flame shield on his body without fear, easily Breaking through his already unstable body defense.
“Ah!!!”
The player from the Jiagua Kingdom who was attacked couldn't help but let out a shrill scream. He wanted to find a chance of survival in the desperate situation he suddenly fell into, but the enemy was too ruthless and did not give him any chance of survival.
The enemy holding a double ax violently knocked the staff in his hand to the ground, and his hands were almost chopped off, leaving him unable to make any further responses.
The dark death ray hit his body in the blink of an eye. Even though it was mostly blocked by the flame shield, invisible defense and equipment, it still caused him to suffer huge damage and fell into a state of mental trance. .
Countless strange mosquitoes brought him the most extreme pain and torture, and were the main reason for his screams.
But this scream did not last for more than two seconds before disappearing, because before the player was bitten by mosquitoes and died, his neck had been chopped off by two axes from the enemy beside him.
"Is he dead now? His persistence was too short, right? However, it seems that it is not difficult to understand that a mage was sneak-attacked by three players of the same level and was instantly killed..."
Located on the top of the Black Tower Wang Zhifan just observed the whole process, and felt that the result was a bit beyond his expectation, because he thought that the player who was attacked could deal with the three people for more than ten seconds, but in the end, he died in only three seconds. It can be said that he died. Very straightforward.
At the crime scene, the trio who committed the crime had already begun to collect the loot, and it looked like they were quite skilled in their techniques.
"This frog toy is a rare defensive item. Judging from the effect just now, it is somewhat useful. David, do you want it?"
The thin mage squatted down and found it from the dead player. I bought a small frog model and asked the other two people around me for their opinions.
"I want this hat more."
The white summoner shook his head when he saw this. He bent down and picked up the pointed hat that fell near the head of the deceased, and put it on his head.
"Is this hat suitable for you, a summoner? Then I want his ring. I happen to be a mage as well."
The white mage did not argue with his companions and changed his goal. .
The remaining tall female warrior seemed not to notice any of the equipment on the deceased. She took a look at it and said:
"Give me whatever you don't want, and I'll sell it all for money."
While the three of them were discussing, there were several low roars coming from near them. They were the three elites that had not been cleaned up by the dead before. It's weird to express their presence.
These monsters must have been confused by the sudden scene just now, so they waited until now to make threatening sounds and remembered their responsibilities.
"Looking for death!"
The female warrior who was already feeling a little bored suddenly became angry when she saw this. She held the double ax in her hand and planned to rush over to deal with these miscellaneous things. She was sure that she could Destroy these three monsters easily.
But what these people didn't know was that Wang Zhifan was still watching them, ready to add fuel to their smooth hunting.
“I have no problem with you killing other players in my territory, but if you gain something, it’s reasonable for you to pay some taxes to me as the host, right?”
This is what he thought After thinking about it, he activated his power as the Lord of the Black Tower, causing a sudden change in the situation on that floor! This change specifically happened to the remaining three monsters. With their strength, it was impossible for them to survive in the hands of the female player who walked past. However, Wang Zhifan temporarily loaded an upgrade module on them, giving them an instant strength. It surged dozens of times and turned into a monster of another intensity.
When the white female warrior full of fighting spirit walked forward with a pair of axes, she suddenly found that the three black monsters in front of her had grown in size. The size of gray wolves has directly increased to that of an adult black tiger, and their teeth and claws have become sharper. What is even more outrageous is that they have two pairs of large bat-like wings growing on their backs. Look It looks completely different from the previous one!
"William! David! How come these monsters suddenly mutated!"
Seeing this unexpected situation, the female warrior immediately stopped and changed to a defensive posture. At the same time, she shouted to her two companions behind her who were still discussing the division of the spoils. The voice reminded.
The first person to respond to her was the mage William. This guy's perception was probably the strongest among the three people present, so he was aware of the sudden situation and immediately raised his head to observe.
"Evacuate quickly! We don't need to provoke these monsters!"
The person then made a decision very quickly, that is, not to fight against this suddenly stronger monster, and run away decisively The best policy is to conserve your energy on the road.
"Take the loot away! I'll contain them!"
The white summoner David also agreed with his companion's decision. He quickly stood up and said to the female warrior blocking the front, asking them to retreat first. And take away the player's corpse as a trophy.
As for his containment method, he still relies on various bugs. It can be said that it is very suitable for bugs to deal with large opponents, because it is difficult for large targets to kill the insect swarm efficiently, and the insect swarm can use Its numerical advantage causes continuous high damage.
After saying that, groups of turbulent flying insects emerged around his body, as if layers of thick fog surrounded him. They were all prepared by him for this hunt in advance, but the result But it wasn't used much in the previous battle, so it wouldn't be considered a waste if it comes in handy now.
"Okay! Come and stop them! I will be responsible for leaving with the loot!"
The female warrior who was facing the mutated monster in front started to retreat after hearing this. She did not feel ashamed at all because of her retreat, because their team had been formed for a long time, and there was a precedent for who would be the main force in any situation. Yes, no one will be looked down upon just because they are not the main force.
The thin mage William also stepped forward upon seeing this, leaving the trophies entirely to the female warrior. The staff in his hand brewed a spell suitable for the current situation.
“I’ll help you with the control.”
He said this, probably preparing to restrict the movement of the mutated monsters in front, so that the companions summoned by the insect swarm can reduce some risks.
This set of coordination sounds a little complicated, but in fact it all happens within a second or two.
When the suddenly mutated monster, which had become many times stronger, fluttered and swooped towards the three players with big wings, the insect swarm summons immediately commanded his insect army to meet the enemy, and the thin mage William used a spell similar to an illusory chain. , try to tie up these monsters.
But what happened next caught them off guard!
I saw the big-winged monsters soaring into the air and suddenly opened their big mouths in mid-air, spitting out a large amount of unknown black liquid, covering most of the bugs controlled by the insect swarm mage like oil. Most of these tiny beings were instantly stuck together and fell to the ground like mud, temporarily losing their mobility and attack power.
Those illusory chains issued by the mage William were even more ineffective. They actually dissipated before binding the three monsters, as if they encountered some targeted force.
"Nova! Stop them quickly! Leave the corpses alone!"
Such a situation immediately made William realize that the enemy's strength this time was more terrifying than they thought, and it was not something they could deal with casually.
The biggest evidence is that the chain skill he just used has an upper limit on the strength level of the bound target. Their direct dissipation shows that the enemy far exceeds the upper limit that this skill can deal with.
So he quickly asked Nova, the female warrior who was preparing to evacuate, to resist the enemy.
But Nova is not a fool who lets others take orders. She discovered something was wrong with the enemy before her companions called. She immediately judged that she could not go head-to-head with this kind of existence, and rushed to the lower spiral staircase. He shouted while running:
"You guys, retreat quickly! It will be safe on the second floor!"
After saying that, she was the first to rush into the spiral staircase, followed closely by the mage William and the insect swarm summoner David. These two people had the blessing of acceleration and ran no slower than her, a warrior.
"Finally escaped...William, what happened to the monster just now?"
Coming down from the third floor to the second floor to meet up, the three found that the enemy did not pursue them directly as they expected. Come over, stop and start thinking about this strange thing.
Especially the mage William, he didn't understand what happened just now and why the monster suddenly became stronger, but his companions thought he would understand and expected him to give an answer.
"I don't know what the situation is... maybe we broke into someone else's tower climbing space and were considered a friendly force, which caused the tower to increase the challenge difficulty?"
At present, he can only give this kind of far-fetched speculation.
"That may be the case...but I still have equipment that I haven't taken out from the prey. If I had known, I would have moved faster."
David, the swarm summoner, also agreed after hearing this. Said, it's a pity that they haven't collected the value of the loot yet.
"It doesn't matter, that person doesn't have anything very good, just find another target to make up for it."
After hearing this, the female warrior Nova quickly walked towards the road leading to the first place. On the spiral staircase on the first floor, she not only was not frightened by the storm, but also planned to strike hard.
When the three people were talking and walking towards the entrance of the first floor, Wang Zhifan saw everything. He didn't hesitate much and planned to make it more difficult for these three people. The main reason was that his goal had not been achieved yet, and he had only forced these three people so far. Leaving behind a useless corpse did not allow them to successfully complete the "tax payment".
So when the three people came to the first floor along the spiral staircase, what caught their eyes was not the grass on the first floor, but the three familiar black-winged monsters in the dark palace, that is, They unexpectedly fell into a loop and returned to the third level again.
"This is the third floor! We are obviously going down! How could we come back here!"
The wizard William was shocked when faced with this bizarre situation. He knew that this tower had absolutely no They thought so simply, but they didn't expect that the Black Tower would trick them, and they wouldn't be allowed to leave until they cleared the monsters.
