Death-Seeking Person
"This... this is..."
The newcomers in the stands stared in disbelief at the Arena, while the veterans seemed to have expected it, only letting out a silent sigh.
The Arena was littered with human remains and blood. The Silver Blade Squad was almost completely wiped out, with only Captain He En still struggling to hold on.
The Abyssal Demon Worm in the center of the arena also looked to be in bad shape, with only four of its ten tentacles remaining and cracks visible on its carapace. Clearly, it had fought a fierce battle to wipe out the Silver Blade Squad.
"Is this monster really that strong...?" The newlyweds who witnessed the whole thing felt a chill run down their spines.
This monster not only possesses immense strength, a hard shell, and highly corrosive venom, but it is also incredibly fast. Although its main body isn't particularly fast, each of its ten tentacles moves with lightning speed, and combined with its suckers and sharp teeth, even a slight graze from it would result in severe injury if one wasn't protected by internal energy!
What's even more terrifying is that this monster's suction cups are extremely effective at devouring vital energy. Just a light sweep can pry off a large chunk of qi... Without a weapon, dealing with such a monster is truly as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"They are indeed more troublesome than most level seven monsters." The most experienced Rain Granny nodded, "But not as tough as level eight. With some optimization of team composition and tactics, clearing the level shouldn't be difficult..."
As she spoke, she looked around, her gaze sweeping over the outstanding Elite-level such as Luo Jun, Lu Kui, and Father Qin, before finally settling on He En on the field.
"Team He's best option right now is to stay on the periphery and stall for time, then come back and regroup with us. Otherwise, in his current state, he simply can't defeat the Abyssal Demon Worm that still has four tentacles left."
"But I'm afraid he won't give up." Father Qin looked at He En on the field. He was covered in blood and his eyes were bloodshot. Clearly, the death of his teammate had greatly affected him.
"The Silver Blade Squad has always prided itself on being the strongest team after the two champion teams." The middle-aged man from the Frost Moon Troupe sighed, "Team He is also considered to have the strength of a champion, but he hasn't been very lucky. He has failed several important missions in the past two years, and his points haven't increased. He is particularly eager to prove himself, which is why he chose to lead the team in the first battle..."
"Now, forget about the mission, he's even lost his team. He'll probably have a hard time accepting this fact and will fight desperately..."
Everyone nodded in agreement, clearly agreeing with the analysis.
Just then, the giant insect on the field suddenly charged towards Team He, and its remaining four tentacles attacked together, two thrusting straight and two sweeping horizontally.
Facing the enemy who caused the destruction of his team, He En's eyes were bloodshot and his whole body trembled, like a wild beast ready to strike at any moment.
At the last moment before the tentacles struck, he moved swiftly... and dodged!
Get out of the way?!
This scene took everyone by surprise. Next, Team He ran along the field, starting to play guerrilla warfare with the Abyssal Demon Worm. Although the worm had short legs under its carapace, it still needed its ten tentacles to move quickly. Now it only had four tentacles left, and in such a large area, it wouldn't be easy to catch up with Team He, who was determined to escape.
Two minutes passed in the blink of an eye. As the trial ended and the demonic insects disappeared, Team He returned to the stands.
But looking at him, covered in blood, disheveled, staring with bloodshot eyes and not saying a word, he resembled a demon returned from Hell, exuding an aura that made people afraid to approach him.
The trial is held every six hours, which means the day is divided into four parts. You can try once during each period, so wait a little over an hour. Once midnight passes, the challenge opportunity will refresh.
During this time, the new hunters are already discussing who will participate in the next round.
Rain Granny, Night, Father Qin, and Lu Kui were the first to be chosen. As for the rest, several people with abilities primarily focused on healing or support were selected...
Count me in!
Hearing that they had basically finalized their choices, He En, who had been silent until now, stood up. "I want to try again!"
He En's strength is evident to all, and as for his injuries and physical exhaustion, he can fully recover once the clock strikes midnight... But the problem is, his mental state doesn't seem to be quite right...
"Well, Team He ...we understand how you feel, but..." A hunter was about to offer some words of advice when He En interrupted him.
"If you don't take me, none of you will go!" As he spoke, his aura surged, showing a desperate, all-or-nothing stance.
The monsters are already difficult to deal with; if they start fighting amongst themselves in the stands, it won't benefit anyone...
"I think it's fine," Rain Granny said first. "But Team He, you have to follow orders. Let's discuss tactics now and try to take down this bug with minimal losses."
After all, there are only a few days left until the Hundred Day Limit. To clear the game, you'll definitely need to complete both trials someday. You can't rely on healing at midnight every day.
"No problem." Team He agreed readily, but judging from his demeanor, everyone felt that he was not entirely confident.
Soon, midnight had passed, and everyone felt a warm current enveloping their bodies.
Luo Jun also extracted Attribute Points at the same time, resulting in seven, for a total of twenty-two attribute points.
The group of ten arrived at the Registration Desk and activated the trial in top condition.
As before, the Trial Grounds slowly formed Abyssal Demon Worm, and as the Countdown ended, the trial officially began.
The ten tentacles of the Abyssal Demon Worm lashed out simultaneously, attacking the group. Having already witnessed the battle once, the hunters retreated in unison, dodging the first wave of attacks.
At the same time, Rain Granny bestowed a group blessing upon everyone, enhancing their strength and providing them with a gradual healing effect.
Seeing the enemy retreat, the Abyssal Demon Worm used all ten tentacles to give chase. At full speed, it was incredibly fast and was closing in on the group!
At this moment, a roar rang out, and the white-haired monster that Father Qin had transformed into charged forward. Relying on its huge size and its tough, thick white fur, it blocked a round of attacks and even grabbed three tentacles!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the others followed suit, each restraining one tentacle. Lu Kui, in particular, grabbed a tentacle and struck it fiercely. His thick qi was so powerful that the suction cups couldn't even swallow it up!
The Abyssal Demon Worm's tentacle defenses have developed an opening, leaving its main body wide open!
At that moment, Luo Jun rushed over at top speed!
This is the tactic we discussed beforehand!
Nine people hold the line while one person breaks in—simple, direct, and effective!
After the Ants Attack City and the Miracle Chess Game, "Night" became famous. Everyone recognized his attack power and believed that he was the most suitable person to break through and crack the shell!
Luo Jun lived up to expectations, arriving in front of the insect's main body at an extremely high speed and throwing a punch!
At the same time, the Dice of Heavenly Secrets in his mind was activated, providing Double Insurance for this attack!
"Ding! Event Difficulty: 97 points; Final Points: 69 + 15 points; Event Failed!"
The notification tone startled Luo Jun for a moment!
Failed? Wait... what's with the difficulty level of 97? The insect's true form is right in front of me, how can this punch be so difficult?
Just as Luo Jun was in shock, the scenery before his eyes suddenly changed, transforming from the giant demonic insect into a menacing tentacle!
Illusion? Wait... no!
My position has been changed... no, it should be that I switched positions with someone!
Luo Jun punched the tentacle away and turned to look in the direction of the demonic insect's main body.
Standing in the spot where he had been standing was none other than He En, the Silver Blade Squad. His expression was ferocious as he roared as he charged towards the demonic insect!
But he didn't seem to intend to attack; instead, he charged straight into... the demonic insect's open mouth?!
This is...
Immediately afterward, in Luo Jun's vision, the demonic insect's body began to expand rapidly, cracks appeared in its sturdy shell, and it was filled with surging and violent energy!
Boom!
The demonic insects exploded!
At the last moment, Luo Jun activated the Dice of Heavenly Secrets.
"Dodge the explosion!"
Thank you La Bi Da Xing for the 5000 Origin Point Coin!
