After causing trouble for the enemy, Su Xi headed to another stronghold.
On the way, I checked how many points Mop God of War and Yan Hu had accumulated.
The team of Mop God of War had eight members, with five main damage dealers and three others just coasting along. As a result, their team's average score was only 3568, ranking them 158th.
As for Yan Hu's team, they are a ten-person team on the leaderboard with an average score of only 2879, ranking 561st.
Apart from the top ten teams, where the points difference is relatively large, the points of the teams in the lower ranks are very close.
In just the short time it took to look at the rankings, Yan Hu's team's average score increased by 10 points, and their ranking instantly jumped to 519.
The ten-person team, meaning Yan Hu's team, has scored 200 more points than the total score of the Mop God of War team so far.
This score-boosting efficiency is incredibly high. Where did they find expert players to guide them?
Su Xi transformed into Nymph, seemingly lost in thought, intending to see which experts Yan Hu had recruited, and whether they were future renowned powerhouses. With a large influx of players entering the game, some players who were famous in her previous life were also beginning to appear.
"Ding, Hacker Skill failed to activate. The opponent possesses counter-surveillance talent or skill."
Ah, this...
It seems quite normal for people like them to have this kind of talent.
The main problem is that the [Hacker Intrusion] skill is only at level one, so if the opponent has a counter-skill, it can't be activated.
Since I can't watch it, I'll just switch my avatar to Qiqi.
The Mana Backlash is still ongoing; it's more comfortable to be Qiqi.
Currently, Su Xi is a solo team with a total of 27,000 points. Based on Yan Hu's team's scoring speed, they would need to grind for ten consecutive days to catch up.
Let's not even talk about the second place team. They'll be stuck in Emerald City both online and offline this month, and they probably won't be able to leave even after the event ends.
The third-place team was a four-person group. Their main damage dealer was a player with advanced Lightning Control and wide-area magic skills, making them much faster at killing monsters than the other players. The other three players were their support, primarily helping them lure monsters, heal, increase damage, and regenerate mana...
If the number of Soul Split could be increased, Qiqi could also form a perfect team like him.
Thinking about these things now is a bit too far ahead; let's focus on getting high scores first.
Following the map's directions, Qiqi arrived at the Fallen Ones stronghold closest to Emerald City.
This time, the outpost is actually on a cliff face...
Below the cliff was unfathomable darkness, but the sounds indicated that a river flowed beneath it.
The base is in a place like this; people who can't fly can't get in at all.
It doesn't necessarily have to be flying. As long as you find a foothold and climb down with vines, it should be possible.
By the way, was there such a place near Emerald City in my previous life?
Qiqi gazed at the boundless darkness, lost in thought.
[Soul Split]! [Dimensional Avatar: Ilena]!
He split off a clone of Ilena, sat behind her broom, and slowly descended toward the entrance on the cliff.
A moment later, two figures appeared at the cave entrance.
Unexpectedly, the passage leading into the cave was not dark; many torches were placed on both sides of the passage, making it brightly lit.
The further you go in, the more open the passageway becomes.
We haven't reached the end yet.
Qiqi and Ilena saw a group of semi-transparent monster fish, each about the size of a small room, floating not far away.
These are the retinue of the [Nightmare] god, dream monsters...
Because it was a nightmare, these translucent fish looked particularly disgusting, not only with pitted and bumpy exteriors, emitting corrosive black smoke, but also with sharp teeth protruding outwards.
Its jet-black exterior and purplish-black fish lips perfectly embody the terrifying appearance that the Nightmare Familiar should have.
If these monsters are only disgusting in appearance, then so be it; their survival skills are also disgusting.
Nightmare companions can switch between dreams and reality. They are only in reality and vulnerable to attack when they use skills or attack.
Of course, these fish are not without their weaknesses. If you can find the "Sweet Dream" hidden within the nightmare, you can temporarily suppress their ability to switch between reality and dreams.
Nightmare Fish Swarm
Level: 35
Life Level: Elite Monster
Health:
Attack power: 2056
Defense: 0
Skills: Dream Gate, Dream Return, Nightmare Trap, Swarm Action, Nightmare Companion...
Description: One, two, three, wow, a whole bunch!
Encountering these monsters is disgusting and troublesome...
There are about twenty fish in this group. If you shoot one, the others will follow. It's like pulling one and affecting the whole group.
Fortunately, since they were all event monsters, all level 35, their stats were much lower. If they were all level 40 mid-tier elite monsters, Qiqi would never have wanted to fight them.
"So, are we going to start fighting?" Ilena asked, arms crossed.
He had a relaxed expression on his face.
Qiqi complained, "You and I think alike. Don't you find these monsters troublesome?"
Ilena smiled sweetly, brimming with confidence, and said blankly, "You're the real one. You can worry about your headaches; I just need to play my current role well."
"..."
Qiqi was a little speechless, but Ilena did have a point.
"Okay, then come back."
Although Ilena's transformation skill has a guaranteed hit attribute, it cannot hit monsters hiding on the dream side. In this case, you still have to use Kurumi Incarnation.
The Second Bullet can slow down the attack speed of these dream fish, effectively extending their existence in reality.
[Soul Split]! [Dimensional Avatar: Tokisaki Kurumi]!
The Qiqi incarnation was canceled, the Ilena incarnation was recalled, and then the Kurumi Incarnation was released.
[Forbidden Curse]!
[The Witch's Favor]!
A series of actions quickly brought Kurumi Incarnation's transformed state to its peak.
Kurumi Incarnation deals high enough damage to eliminate these fish swarms, making it relatively easy.
It's just not as easy or quick as killing other monsters.
Thump thump thump—...
With the Aleph activated, Kurumi unleashed a dense barrage of bullets at the school of fish.
Miss!
Miss!
Miss!
Without exception, all of them were empty shells.
Normal, Kurumi's bullets cannot penetrate space for the time being.
The attacks now are merely to attract their attention.
The dream fish, which had been attacked, all turned to look at the little creature on the ground.
Its ferocious face was directed at Su Xi and Kurumi.
"So ugly," Su Xi muttered.
"Gurgle—!"
The fish opened their mouths wide Kurumi.
[Second Bullet]!
The powerful deceleration force slows its movements down.
Kurumi seized the opportunity and fired wildly.
-! -1053 (Crystal Elemental Damage)!
-! -1125 (Crystal Elemental Damage)!
- (Critical Hit)! -2103 (Ice Elemental Damage)!
Monsters with no defenses are as fragile as paper when facing Kurumi attack power of up to 8,000.
13 seconds later.
The fish monster with 180,000 HP had its HP depleted, turned into energy and disappeared, dropping a rare treasure chest.
The system notified you that you have earned +100 points.
One after another, they were killed successfully after using the Second Bullet.
The whole process took twenty minutes. Not much time was spent killing monsters; the main time was waiting for the cooldown of the Second Bullet.
