Chapter 215 Sneak into the enemy's nest and become a boss

Grotto World, curse source scene.

At the top of the tallest building in the city, eight figures stood like ghosts.

The black robes they wore rustled in the wind, and each of them wore a mask with a ferocious face.

The leading figure casually put his hands in his pockets, and the corners of his clothes were rolled wildly by the wind. He stood on the top of the scene and looked down below, like a king who dominated everything.

"Boss, do you want to do something?"

Behind him, a burly figure with the word "stone" engraved on the upper right corner of the grimace mask asked in a deep voice. The black clothes on his body were tightly stretched on his body, filled with explosive muscles, and every inch of the fabric seemed to be torn apart.

He looked at the small moving figure below, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, his thick muscles bulging high, and his feet firmly standing on the edge of the tall building, like a pine rooted in the cliff. No matter how strong the wind was, it could not shake it in the slightest.

The golden eyes behind the mask shot out a bloodthirsty cold light through the eye holes.

"No rush."

Facing the inquiry, the leader Yang Xiu raised his eyes, his expression was cold, and his voice did not fluctuate at all.

As he spoke, Yang Xiu glanced at the figure still searching below.

After waiting for a long time, these figures seemed to have chosen to give up and start looking for the curse trap again.

Yang Xiu also said in a deep voice at this time:

"Black Snake stays and snipers, the rest follow me."

Saying that, Yang Xiu jumped from the roof of the building.

At this time, the other figures turned into ghosts and followed him, jumping off the tall building.

The remaining graceful figure raised the sniper weapon in its hand: the Stinger.

Although it is a sniper weapon, the weapon is not a mechanical structure.

The main shape is similar to a long and narrow white scorpion, with a streamlined exoskeleton, and the surface is covered with a layer of flesh and blood, which can change color according to the environment.

The barrel is a hollow tubular structure made of chitin, with a spiral pattern similar to the barrel inside. The sight is the compound eye of some kind of insect, composed of multiple independent small eyes.

The woman named Black Snake lowered her head and put her face against the butt of the gun. The biological compound eye automatically extended and connected with Black Snake's right eye.

Suddenly, the world Black Snake saw with his right eye changed.

The line of sight became dim, but it seemed extremely clear. In the ultra-wide-angle field of view, the originally invisible wind had a flowing trajectory.

Black Snake Put your finger on the trigger of the stinger.

The trigger is a strong muscle bundle.

When the trigger is pulled, an ejection mechanism similar to that of a mantis shrimp will appear inside the stinger, using the elastic potential energy stored during muscle contraction to instantly launch the loaded bone spur.

And bone spurs are bullets.

When it hits the target, neurotoxins will be secreted, and barbs will pop up on the surface to lock the target firmly.

Entering combat mode, the stinger weapon extended several tentacles to connect with the woman's body, sucking her blood to recharge itself as if it were alive.

The woman looked at her moving teammates, looking for opportunities to cooperate.

On the other side, after landing, Yang Xiu led his teammates to jump quickly on the street, heading towards the player team that was breaking the curse.

"Stone statue, you go up first."

"Understood." The burly man known as the stone statue nodded solemnly. After taking a deep breath, the muscles on his body swelled like air.

Yang Xiu glanced at the figure approaching the aperture, then nodded.

"Go ahead".

"Kill." The man known as the stone statue leaned forward, raised his head suddenly, stomped on the broken stone with his right foot, and rushed towards the player team that was preparing to break the curse like a cannonball.

"Follow me." Yang Xiu said, turning into a phantom and setting off in another direction.

The other figures also moved out according to the positions arranged in advance.

At this time, the player team outside the halo scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and after confirming safety, escorted the cursed teammates into the halo.

Just as the curse energy was quickly being eliminated, the Eagle Head Demon player in the team suddenly issued a warning:

"Attention everyone, the pirate dog is coming!"

Eagle Head Demon As soon as the player finished speaking, a sharp Wind Breaking sound came.

A bone spur instantly pierced his forehead, leaving a bloody hole between his eyebrows, and his body suddenly collapsed and disintegrated into mist.

The remaining teammates acted decisively and spread out around the aperture.

In his sight, several black shadows came quickly from three directions.

The burly figure directly in front was enveloped in black airflow, like a tank traveling at full speed, approaching with a heavy sense of oppression.

The injured players in the team took a decisive step forward, raised their rock shields, and prepared to resist the impact.

But just when the two sides were about to collide, the voice of captain Yang Xiu, known as the stone statue Bliss Player, sounded in his ears. Then his body rolled forward suddenly and disappeared instantly. In less than a second, he popped out of the gap between the spaces and slammed into the legal players in the team.

Bang!

The legal player was caught off guard and was knocked down instantly.

The stone statue grabbed the legal player's neck and pushed him to the ground with one hand. Under the inertia of his body, his body pressed down on the legal player's head and slid for several meters on the ground. Then he suddenly punched out with his left fist and hit the legal player's head hard.

Boom!

The legal players instantly turned into black mist and dissipated under the successive attacks.

At the same time, on the rooftops on both sides of the street, several figures flew down like birds.

Their movements are smooth when moving, and they can quickly adjust their body shape in the air with just a tap of their toes on the building wall.

One of the figures turned over in the air, using the momentum of its fall to stab a melee player with the dagger in its hand.

"Looking for death." The player suddenly raised Li Man Axe to meet him.

However, this figure jumped in the air, leaped over the melee player's head, then flipped forward in the air, and struck the melee player's back with a "Skyfall Slash", tearing apart Gāng Qì's defense.

Blood spurted out, and the melee player staggered two steps but was not killed.

When he turned around, he released the "Blood Soul Pull" chain and grabbed the assassin's ankle. When he was pulled in front of him, he made a Li Man Axe chop with the "Heavy Hammer" effect.

But before the attack hit him, another chain came from the side, grabbing the figure's waist and abdomen, and narrowly pulling him away from Li Man Axe's chop.

At this time, low-level source crystals in the halo are being generated rapidly.

The other Bliss Player also entered the market at this time.

The leader Yang Xiu had a clear goal and quickly sneaked to the front of the aperture.

The player who has lifted the curse immediately reaches forward with his right hand, trying to grab the low-level source crystal that is about to condense and throw it into the space bag.

But Yang Xiu was faster and kicked the wrist of the player within the aperture, forcing him to loosen his grip on the low-level source crystal.

Low-level source crystals were flying in the air.

Another Bliss assassin predicted the falling trajectory of the crystal, swooped out like a cheetah, firmly grasped the crystal in his hand, and then quickly escaped.

The other Bliss assassins also approached the player who caught the crystal at this time, forming a tight line of defense to prevent the player from counterattacking.

The Bliss Assassins have elegant movements. During combat, they mainly dodge and then counterattack, which is completely different from the player's fighting style.

In the initial battle, the player's team was completely suppressed and was beaten back steadily by the Bliss assassin's offensive.

At this time, a Bliss assassin walked around the back of an auxiliary player and stabbed the neck accurately with the dagger in his hand.

At this moment, Light Shield suddenly appeared behind the auxiliary player.

But what made the auxiliary player unbelievable was that the assassin seemed to be able to predict the situation and rolled forward the second after he released Light Shield.

After Roll Flash, the assassin who was ejected from the gap has appeared in front of the auxiliary player.

The black light dagger penetrated the support player's neck without any hindrance.

However, the auxiliary player responded very quickly and decisively turned on Life Link to divert the damage.

Wow!

The player who initiated the attack opened his mouth and coughed up blood, then a chain was wrapped around his waist and abdomen, and he was dragged back to the team by his teammates.

Then an assassin wearing a grimace mask appeared next to the assist player again. The dagger in his hand danced like a dragon, and the shadow of the sword flickered, clearing out the last trace of the assist player's health bar.

As the auxiliary player turned into black mist and dissipated, a whistle sounded, and the Bliss assassin group quickly retreated.

The injury-bearing players in the team wanted to catch up, but they heard the sharp Wind Breaking sound coming again. Then they suddenly raised their rock shields towards the direction of the sound and intercepted a bone spur bullet.

When he raised his head again, the black shadow had gone away.

In less than a minute of fighting, the Bliss assassin group completed the task of snatching the crystal.

Evacuate quickly in different directions.

Their figures jumped between the tall buildings on both sides of the street and quickly disappeared without a trace, leaving only the player team standing there in shock.

What surprised them was not Bliss Player's strength, nor its tacit combat cooperation.

It was an analytical screenshot shared by a player in the team in the chat channel.

[Sheep brows sigh (player)]

Panel information: The target player has blocked display information (name display above head, attribute panel display), and only the Player Camp mark can be seen.

I thought that encountering pirated players would be outrageous enough.

But he didn't expect that among this group of pirated players, there would be a genuine player from his own camp.

What's even more outrageous is that this genuine player who infiltrated the pirate team seems to be the leader of the pirate team.

"Damn, we were tricked by one of our own?"

"Asshole, I remember him, don't let me meet him next time."

Just as the players in the team were furious, a voice suddenly sounded in the regional chat channel:

"Brothers, I'm sorry. I finally succeeded in breaking through the level. I came to Monster World as Bliss Player. My life is now worth 200,000 Sacrificial Power. There is still room for further increase in value. I can only carry out the task according to the requirements of the master god of evil pen. I want to say sorry to you. When I return to the village, I will send you an apology red envelope."

Hearing the apology from the regional channel, the players in the team were stunned for a moment, and then they all shouted angrily:

"Beast, you just earned 200,000 Sacrificial Power, and even formed your own team at Death Space. If you want to rebel, you are not allowed to add value anymore. The village will send you gold bars, please come back quickly."

"Two crystal stones. Remember that you owe us 10,000 Sacrificial Power, plus 15,000 for mental damages. I'll write it down for you first."

"I'm so jealous. Although the Death Space qualifications are distributed to 500 per day, it's like punching in every day and you can't get them at all. You are so awesome, you actually passed the level and entered Monster World... Also, your teammates are so fierce."

Listening to the voice of the regional voice channel, Yang Xiu led the team back to the top of the tallest building in the city to meet up with Black Snake.

Standing on the top of the building, looking at the small team of players at the end of the line of sight, Yang Xiu's eyes were filled with waves.

As one of the genuine players, he did not expect that he would be able to reach this point in the Death Space copy.

The team he formed has a total of 8 members.

The code names are all named after Monster Soul in the Player Legion, shortened by one character.

His codename is Eagle Head, and the only berserker in the team is codenamed: Stone Statue.

The only sniper codename: Black Snake.

The rest are all assassin players, and they all have their own code names of Monster Soul.

As an old player, he was originally a member of the Temple Guild, a member of the assassin group in the war group.

More than half a month ago, Death Space copy qualification was issued in the early morning.

At that time, he didn't take it seriously. After all, the probability of qualifying in the lottery was too low, so he just used it as a daily check-in.

As a result, I turned on the lottery function and after consciously touching the lucky bag, I was very lucky to draw Death Space Copy Key.

The sudden surprise made him feel extremely stunned, and then he was ecstatic.

There are a lot of discussion posts about Death Space on the forum, and the reward mechanism is mentioned among them.

Even if you just complete the first round of the death trial, you can get a lot of settlement rewards.

This is one of the few gameplay methods developed by Monster World that can obtain high Sacrificial Power rewards.

In order to make this rare copy experience produce more Sacrificial Power.

Before entering Death Space, he read a lot of strategy content posted on the forum and was fully prepared.

What is certain is that the construction of Death Space and Lord of Bliss refer to the multi-space scene of Grotto World.

The first Old Soldier Corps member to enter Death Space also discovered the new entrance to the Bliss space in Grotto World, and then got involved in the Death Space scene and became the first group of players to take advantage of it.

The difference is that the scene of Grotto World actually exists.

But Death Space is the Mirage scene in the conscious experience mode, and only the reward given by Lord of Bliss is real.

Players in the space cannot use the Monster Soul ability, nor do they have any attribute bonuses. They can only participate as the most ordinary mortals.

Therefore, even their players do not have any strength advantage in the Bliss space.

They may not even be able to beat Bliss Player, who was recruited by Lord of Bliss like them in the initial scene.

Everyone has a similar starting point.

But their players have a huge advantage, the strategy posts left by their seniors in the forum.

In the initial trial, he was lucky enough to get a scene with detailed strategies. There were 21 Bliss Player who participated in the trial with him.

In this trial, he chose to stand up as a "team wise man" and guide the team to complete the task.

But even with the help of guides, four Bliss Player still died in the trial mission.

But his excellent performance also made him the leader of this cute new Bliss team.

After returning to Death Space and strengthening it, he started the second round of trials and the third round of trials... Except for the fifth round of trials, which had no strategies, the forums for the other rounds of trials had strategy posts available to help him quickly pass the trial scenes.

In the eyes of his teammates, he is a resourceful wise man and the absolute core of the team.

He is also one of the top three warriors in the team.

But only Yang Xiu himself knows that his only fighting ability is real.

Being able to join Temple Guild and enter the assassin group that requires the most combat skills depends on technology.

As for the "wonderful calculation" mentioned by teammates, they rely on the path of success that the "seniors" of the forum have sacrificed their lives to achieve.

In the process, he found that he was growing rapidly.

At the beginning, he relied on the strategy to talk in front of his teammates, as if he had the death trial under his control. He was immersed in the aura of a wise man relying on the strategy Shaping, and enjoyed the admiring looks from his teammates.

However, strategies cannot solve all problems.

There is also a version update in the death trial space. Lord of Bliss will fix the Mirage scene BUG. In each trial, you still need to fight against the enemy camp's team, and there are many unknown variables.

There was also a situation where the strategy failed at a critical moment. He fell into panic and realized that the strategy he had been relying on was not omnipotent.

But it was the pressure brought by the desperate situation that forced him to force himself to calm down.

Before this, as a veteran player, he always followed God King to fight.

There aren't many times when you need to think independently. The most important thing is to follow orders and fight.

But in Death Space, he has positioned himself as a wise man and can only rely on himself to solve problems.

The expectant looks from his teammates made him feel even more stressed.

He began to rack his brains to think of a solution to the problem.

As ideas emerge one by one, he moves from a pseudo-sage to a true wise man.

I have regained the sense of control I had when I was familiar with the guide, and I am no longer afraid of failure.

At this time, my mood was already one of risk-taking, and the worst possible outcome was to return to the village to settle the rewards.

But it was also in this mentality that he came up with solutions to problems in difficult situations several times.

This kind of success gave him a full sense of accomplishment, rather than the false strength brought by relying on strategies in the early days.

He felt that he truly had the ability to deal with difficult situations and the way of thinking to solve problems.

He has also gradually transformed from a raiding party player to a true team leader.

Coupled with the command rhythm learned from God King, he united the team members and passed through difficult trial difficulties one after another.

During this process, some teammates died and left the field, and new teammates entered the field and joined.

Until now, only seven teammates are left to clear the death trial with him, and Monster World has arrived.

It can be said that every teammate around him is a super warrior who tried his best to break free from the death vortex.

More importantly, they all have the starting "talent" ability given by Lord of Bliss.

He is the absolute elite among the Bliss Player group.

The Monster Soul team he led ranked first in the team (division scene) list for the same period before entering Monster World.

It seems that only half a month has passed since the dungeon, but returning to Monster World and Yang Xiu feels like a lifetime ago.

Because he has been in Mirage for more than half a year.

In addition to the training time of Death Space after each trial, after questioning Guidance, we learned that his consciousness experienced eight months and 13 days of training in Death Space.

The sense of vicissitudes brought by the passage of time is overwhelming.

But his Death Space journey is obviously not over yet.

Now he is an elite Bliss warrior. He has broken free from the shackles of trials and tests and can lead the team to carry out operations in Monster World according to the tasks given by the Bliss Clan.

You can even apply for free movement beyond mission requirements.

In terms of income, Lord of Bliss will provide additional subsidies.

This time I was sent to the curse source scene, and the Bliss main god (Bliss Clan 32 god) requested 15 low-level source crystals.

How to break the curse scene, Bliss Lord God gave a guide.

This is obviously one of the intelligence information collected by Lord of Bliss when he secretly observed Monster World.

But as a genuine player, he actually has an easier way to break the curse.

It's just that it's not easy to display this way.

After all, the Lord Bliss may be observing in secret, and problems that are too outrageous can easily be discovered.

The original task was carried out in an orderly manner.

After becoming an elite player, the way Bliss Lord God releases tasks has changed. The tasks given this time are not difficult.

What surprised him was that he actually met a "fellow countryman" in this scene.

They all say that when you go out, beware of fellow villagers.

He implemented this concept and acted as a vicious fellow.

Instead of following the guide given by Lord of Bliss to break the curse, it is better to grab the rewards that can be easily obtained by fellow villagers.

Now that the mission has been completed, it's time for them to leave

"Boss, should we continue the mission or go back?" Black Snake in the team put away his sniper rifle and asked. Suddenly the stinger weapon in his hand dissolved and turned into mucus and adsorbed on Black Snake's body.

The strong wind stirred up Black Snake's long hair. When she raised her eyes to look at Yang Xiu, her emotions were hidden in the autumn water. When the corners of her mouth raised slightly, the gentleness that appeared in her eyes unconsciously quietly exposed her inner feelings.

Yang Xiu naturally knows what the poisonous snake is thinking.

But his choice was to avoid it.

As a genuine player, he is destined to be different from this group of Bliss Player.

Over the past six months, he has sometimes been confused.

There will be a time to leave in the future, but what should these brothers who have been with me through life and death do?

"Boss, I propose to stay here. These Player Race members are not very powerful. We can continue to rob them when they break the curse and get some extra rewards." The stone statue's eyes glowed with bloodthirsty light and he suggested in a deep voice.

"Go back." Yang Xiu gave the order directly without any nonsense or explanation.

The teammates heard this and nodded.

They have always implemented Yang Xiu's instructions directly, knowing that the boss must have his own considerations in doing so.

Arriving at Teleportation Point at the top of the building, teammates followed Yang Xiu and walked into it one after another.

The formation was immediately activated, and Yang Xiu and his teammates were enveloped in black light, and disappeared in a short time.

A prompt also sounded in Yang Xiu's mind:

[The elite assessment is completed, the score is calculated:..., and Bliss points are awarded: 23849.]

The feeling of weightlessness came, and when Yang Xiu's vision became clear again, he found that he had returned to the scene of Death Space.

After becoming an elite Bliss Player, the Death Space scene he lives in also changes accordingly.

The buildings in the scene have become more unreal. The Bliss Player who can appear here have also passed the ultimate trial and can freely go to Monster World's elite Bliss Player.

At this time, in front of Teleportation Point, many elite Bliss Player were setting up stalls to sell special items obtained from Monster World.

Yang Xiu led the team through the street where stalls were set up, and went straight to the reinforced stone monument where the leader stood.

"Strengthen first, then gather together to discuss the next mission."

After instructing his teammates about the next trip, Yang Xiu came to the black stone monument and stood still, with the purchaseable product interface automatically appearing in his mind.

The bottom of the interface shows that he still has 39,438 points left.

After choosing the bloodline store, the related products are listed in your mind:

Erosion Star Sand(Growth type)

Bloodline introduction: The replica bloodline of the Monster World force "Eclipse Star Clan", replica degree: 89.23%.

Basic characteristics: The blood contains Shatter Stars gravel, which can be attached to weapons to enhance sharpness, attached to equipment to enhance defense, and can also ooze the power of star sand out of the body to control attacks.

Primary enhancement: 35,000 points.

Intermediate enhancement: 350,000 points.

Perfect replica (up to 89.23%.): 1.2 million points.

Bloodline Strength Rating: Level A

Empty Cicada Body(Growth type)

Bloodline introduction: Monster World Kongchan tribe's re-engraved bloodline, re-engraving level: 83.93%.

Basic characteristics: Cicada-like patterns appear on the surface of the skin. When struck, the surface layer of skin is automatically peeled off to offset the damage (1 hour regeneration cycle, the specific time is affected by the intensity of Qi and Blood). After the strengthening is completed, the body's energy absorption efficiency is significantly improved.

Primary enhancement: 38,000 points.

Intermediate enhancement: 380,000 points.

Perfect replica (up to 83.93%): 1.5 million points.

Hundred Bones Pull(Growth type)

Introduction to bloodline: Monster World descends on the force "Hundred Skeleton Tribe"'s life structure to reproduce the bloodline, the degree of reproduction: 92.28%

Basic characteristics: The bones can be freely controlled to grow, shrink, and twist. They can break through the skin and be used as weapons. When the bones are damaged, they can be quickly repaired by consuming Qi and Blood...

As a genuine player, you can actually choose the enhancements in Death Space at will.

After all, the main purpose is to score points.

It doesn't matter what you strengthen. The key is to spend the points and convert them into rewards that can be settled into Sacrificial Power after death.

But as the leader of the Monster Soul team, Yang Xiu feels that his journey in Death Space is far from over.

He also wants to accompany his teammates and continue on.

Therefore, every enhancement will be carefully considered and started from the perspective of improving the overall strength of the team.

He serves as a wise man in the team and is also a melee assassin.

Therefore, when selecting, he looked for bloodlines that suited his fighting style.

His eyes switched between the introduction information of different bloodlines.

In the end, he chose Mirage Mist Body, which requires 39,000 points for primary enhancement.

The characteristic of this bloodline is that it can atomize the body, which is a bit like the "Twilight Shadow" Monster Soul characteristic in the player system.

But Dusk Shadow is just a Monster Soul, compatible with other Monster Soul features.

There is a clear text prompt in the bloodline store. Each Bliss Player can only choose one type of bloodline for enhancement. After the enhancement is completed, it will not be compatible with other bloodlines.

If you find it is not suitable in the future, you can spend points to change your bloodline.

However, changes need to bear the cost of probabilistic death, and the risk is extremely high. The general probability of death is more than 50%.

This is also the reason why bloodline enhancement needs to be chosen carefully.

After completing the selection, touch Yang Xiu with your consciousness to confirm, and the remaining points will be automatically deducted.

The black stone tablet released light and enveloped his body.
