Shared Vision
"Damn it, not again?!"
Upon seeing the Spirit of Chaos, Cai Cai and Fatty immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
The Spirit of Chaos is a spiritual being that has not materialized, so firearms are ineffective against it, effectively sealing the abilities of Firepower Specialist players.
Fortunately, our Psionic System players have all regained their abilities. Psionic attacks against psionic beings are a piece of cake!
"Superior!"
I charged forward with my Power Shield, using my Glory Barrier to block a barrage of claw attacks from the golden Spirit of Chaos. Then, I slashed its leg hard with my sword, leaving a fiery red wound!
Ruolin transformed into a blur, charging forward and stunning everyone.
The single-target psionic attacks from Kou Mei and Faye descended from the sky, unleashing a barrage of attacks. Kou Mei's output, in particular, was terrifying, causing Spirit of Chaos's health bar to plummet rapidly.
"Here I come!"
The cockpit of the Fearless opened, and Aji leaped out, wielding a battle axe. His body expanded continuously, and he slammed the Axe down on the Spirit of Chaos's forehead. Meanwhile, Bingzi summoned a Chaos Creature to aid him in battle, and at the same time, he also engaged in close combat with his sword. His Monomolecular Sword was enveloped in psionic light, and with each strike, he unleashed a series of debuffs.
The Dark Priest's role leans towards summoning and support. They may seem unremarkable at first glance, but if their Spirit Energy is high, their debuff effects can be quite powerful, making them very useful in team battles!
Just like right now, as soon as Bingzi made his move, everyone's strategy progressed much faster!
Forty-two seconds later, the Spirit of Chaos let out a miserable howl, and its body turned into black smoke and dissipated!
"Done!"
I twirled my sword in a cool flourish and chuckled, "Get in the car, let's continue!"
Leap onto the shoulders of the fearless one and open the two Gold Treasure Chest.
The Chaos Knight's Gold Treasure Chest yielded a 4.2 cubic meter Expansion Crystal, while the Spirit of Chaos's Gold Treasure Chest yielded a Golden Chaos Knight Bracers. The stats are decent, but not as good as my Dragon Crystal Gauntlet. I asked Ruolin, but she didn't want them. The others don't meet the equipment requirements, so there's nothing I can do but keep them to sell and pay off my debts!
Continue deeper into the Scoria Basin.
Further behind, other players from Huaining City appeared, but the monsters in the Scoria Basin were quite dense, with Chaos Knight and Hellhounds being commonplace, leaving the rest of the player teams trailing behind.
Because our team's monster-killing efficiency was so insane, we wiped out several "teams" of Chaos Knight and Cerberus in a row, gaining a lot of Experience Points and occasionally opening Gold Treasure Chest that contained some good items that could be sold for money.
Around 10 PM.
The temperature in the wilderness dropped below zero. Although it wasn't as terrifyingly low Lost Land, it was still freezing cold, and my hand holding the sword was already feeling numb. Fortunately, the Essence Furnace provided a steady stream of heat, preventing any serious damage.
"Boss, look over there."
Cai Cai pointed into the distance, and a giant building vaguely appeared in her field of vision.
That was the city of the masters of the Scoria Basin, the city of those goblin creatures.
Unfortunately, the city has mostly fallen, as its perimeter is swarming with pink Chaos Beast and some blue and purple Chaos Faction minions, who are basically just free experience points.
"Advance towards the city, fighting your way through."
I patted the cockpit canopy. "Aji, full speed ahead!"
"Receive!"
Aji gave an OK sign in the cockpit and quickly steered the Dauntless out. He even felt that the speed was not enough, so the mech behind the Dauntless changed, and two nozzles spewing blue flames appeared.
"Holy crap, are you trying to take off?"
Cai Cai hurriedly slammed her hand on the cockpit canopy. "Calm down, Aji, you're not Iron Man!"
Aji chuckled in the cockpit, quite pleased with the little prank.
Ruolin rolled her eyes; sometimes she probably thought the whole team was childish.
Soon after, upon entering the outskirts of the goblin city, a large number of Chaos Beast surged in.
As usual, Ruolin, Bingzi, and I went to the ground for close combat, taking down the Chaos Beast one by one. Meanwhile, Kou Mei, Faye, Cai Cai, and Fatty remained on the shoulders of the Dauntless, fighting without suffering any losses.
"You say..."
While casting spells to attack the Chaos Beast, Fey Courtier asked, "How exactly did Sanshang from Japan get his Chaos Beast Mount? Did it drop from Chaos Beast? Perhaps Chaos Beast can drop mount gems, although the chance is low, maybe one in a million, or even one in a billion..."
"Well..."
Ruolin sighed, "Faye, stop dreaming. The Subspace Storm expansion has been out for ages. Countless Chaos Beast are being killed every day in the Lost Land and the surrounding areas. Have you ever seen Chaos Beast Mount?"
"Ruolin, your words are too cruel. At least leave me some hope..." Faye's face showed despair.
"Maybe not."
I stood on the corpse of a Chaos Beast and said, "The total number of Chaos Beast killed so far should be around two or three hundred thousand, not even a million yet. What if it really is a one in a million drop rate? Fayal, you still have a chance. Besides, my drop rate is high, and the chance of getting Chaos Beast Mount is also high. If I get another one, it'll definitely be yours."
"Boss, it's a deal!"
The Fey Courtier were overjoyed, their hearts filled with hope once more.
The number of Chaos Beast gathering outside the city is increasing, to the point that our battle has turned into a protracted war.
Around four in the morning, after clearing out the surrounding Chaos Beast, Ding Han Squad became the first player team to enter the goblin city.
The fearless ones drove into the city, but the cramped and winding urban design of the goblins was still far from impressive. There seemed to be no Chaos Creature in the city, only a group of dazed goblins.
Goblins and humans have always been Arch-enemy, yet these goblins are completely ignoring us.
They wandered the city like zombies, arms hanging limply, eyes vacant and lifeless, making "woo-woo-woo" sounds.
"What's going on?"
Cai Cai frowned and asked.
"Who knows..."
I patted the cockpit canopy. "Aji, come closer."
So the fearless warriors drove towards the plaza where the goblins were most concentrated, and it was then that the attributes of a goblin within 40 yards appeared—
[Lost Goblin] (Rank:???)
Grade:???
Attack:???
Defense:???
Life:???
Skill:???
Details: The evil psychic energy of the warp has devoured all life on earth, and even goblins are not spared. At first, these goblins were only invaded in their dreams, where their souls were devoured multiple times. In the end, their souls were taken away in the dreams, and now all that remains of them are empty shells. Beware of these goblins... they have become puppets of the warp!
The next second, a small golden lamp lit up above the goblin's head!
"Bite!"
His eyes began to come alive, but they were filled with violence.
"Damn it, those greedy humans want to take our land, those bastards..."
"No one will take away the goblins' homeland! We must fight!"
"Kill them all! Don't let any of them leave alive!"
A group of goblins "awakened," red health bars appearing on their foreheads, and charged in from all directions.
The goblins of the entire city seemed to be flocking there.
"What should we do, boss?" Huo Bingzhi Ri asked.
"What else can we do? Be friends with them? Kill them all!"
I took out the Golden Conqueror and started spraying it. As the number of local monsters increased, I picked up my Power Sword and charged into the densest area of monsters, unleashing Furnace Vortex + Power Sword Storm. It was still a very enjoyable experience!
After about 20 minutes, all the goblins whose souls had been stolen turned into corpses, piling up like mountains beside the Fearless One.
"Boom~~~"
Suddenly, the mountain of corpses began to collapse, and the goblin bodies rapidly rotted and melted, turning into countless black liquids that gathered together.
"Watch out, it's coming again!"
I stood at the forefront, carrying the Power Sword.
A few seconds later, the black liquid rose up and condensed in the air, instantly transforming into a pitch-black beast with a body like a Qilin but a gaping maw!
[Dream Eater] (Chaos-rank, S9, Brown BOSS)
Level: 75
Attack: 30000-42000
Defense: 15000
Qi and Blood: 100,000,000
Skills: [Psionic Impact Lv10] [Life Enhancement Lv10] [Nightmare Descent Lv10]
Details: Dream Eater are mysterious and ferocious beasts originating from the Dream Eater. It is said that their true form is a hellhound, which was chosen by the Chaos Demon Lord Nightmare and transformed into powerful Dream Eater. It is precisely because of the existence of Dream Eater that Nightmare is able to infiltrate everyone's dreams so pervasively.
Wow, S9-rank boss! The system is really giving us face!
These stats are amazing, 42,000 attack power! I can't even imagine how painful that slap would feel!
Last time, I soloed Dragon Vine using suppression potions, but what about this time?
We can only rely on teamwork...
Fortunately, everyone's level is relatively high now, so the gap between us and the Dream Eater's level shouldn't be too large. Therefore, the hit rate of control skills should theoretically be quite high!
Yeah, that should be it... right?
"Drop!"
A message came from Gun Like a Dragon: "Ding Han, there's a lot of crackling and popping noise in the goblin city. What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss?"
"What a load of nonsense..."
I sent them the Dream Eater's attribute guide directly.
"Holy crap, S9..."
Gun Like a Dragon immediately backed down. "Several teams from our Crimson Firmament Alliance are currently tied down on the outskirts by Chaos Beast and Chaos Knight. Good luck to you all. If you really can't win, retreat. Don't push your luck!"
"OK, I understand."
I turned off the communicator and looked up at the Dream Eater, which was also looking at me.
The Dream Eater's eyes were dark and hollow, and the information conveyed through them... didn't resemble that of a wild beast at all, but rather the eyes of a human. Moreover, I've seen that look before!
I've seen it in my dreams, Nightmare!
Could it be that Nightmare Eater can communicate remotely with Dream Eater and share vision?
Oh dear? Poor Maido!
"Boss, are you in or not?"
Cai Cai, carrying Explosive Gun, leaped off the Daredevil Mech, already itching to fight.
"Whether you do it or not, you can't escape!"
I immediately drew my Conqueror and unleashed a barrage of shots at the Dream Eater's eyes!
Look, look at NM!
