Chapter 333: Monster Nest Island

The morning light breaks, the sun rises and the moon sets.

As the golden light shone, the entire Monster Nest Island switched from the humid and stuffy summer to the frost-covered winter.

The whole island became much quieter.

The players seemed to have made an appointment and there was no movement throughout the whole day.

It was not until the sun set in the west and the moon rose above the horizon that things began to look a little different.

At night, when Cen Jinyue stepped into a meadow that exuded an unusual scent, his casual expression restrained a little, but his tone remained unchanged.

"I thought you guys were going to hide."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand.

Several rows of tall trees could not bear the heavy pressure and fell down, revealing two figures behind the trees.

The broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted man was wearing a clown mask and holding a throwing knife. Behind him stood a figure covered by a cloak, making it difficult to see clearly.

Cen Jinyue just took a glance and started laughing.

"Same configuration, same result. No one can save you this time."

The tracking dog doll left a message after it exploded.

All the players who are not under his control at the moment are gathered in the same place.

After the afternoon, two people left the base, and the remaining seven people stayed there. Now the Joker and Dou Hongshan appeared, and they were far away from where the players gathered.

He was a little surprised and asked with a sigh.

"Why do you come if you know you can't win?"

No one answered.

The plant that was instantly stimulated to grow suddenly rushed towards Cen Jinyue. The huge vines twisted and sharp thorns soaked in venom appeared on the vines.

But before these plants could get close, they were crushed into a pool of juicy grass-colored fragments by the sudden change in gravity around them.

Looks pitiful and helpless.

There were two or three more waves of vine attacks in succession. There were so many that they almost covered the sky. However, it was difficult to win by sheer numbers. The attacks of the sharp vines had little effect. Like the previous vines, they were crushed into grass residue when they got close to the target.

Cen Jinyue didn't even raise her hand.

An attack of this level could not break his defense at all.

As a veteran player in the game, Cen Jinyue has already developed a defense system that suits him. Most of the time, he will use gravity to set up a gravitational field within a few meters around his body to resist attacks.

Ordinary weapons will be destroyed directly, and high-quality special weapons will be blocked and suspended in the air, such as the arrows mentioned above.

He laughed.

The sarcasm in his tone almost overflowed.

"Dou Hongshan, is this all the useless work you guys came here to arrange in advance?"

Advanced props can always give more feedback. When Cen Jinyue discovered that there were players with thunder attributes on the island that he could not identify, he instinctively remained alert.

He wanted to clear out all the players on the island first to avoid any mistakes later.

Now there is no need to worry about other people joining the battle.

The place where they were was far away from where other players gathered, more than ten kilometers away. Even with the rarest teleportation item in the game, the maximum distance was only a few hundred meters, at most a thousand meters.

"To be honest, you guys took so long that I thought you would come up with some terrifying trap. It seems like you and that player with the lightning attribute don't have a very good relationship."

Cen Jinyue spoke slowly and took a few steps forward.

These steps seemed to have lit a fuse. After a strange scream, several gift boxes appeared from the piled up vine debris.

"Gaga-ga-ga!"

A funny clown doll came out from inside!

"Hello! Please accept your gift!"

The puppet pinched its red nose, and the ball shattered with a bang, followed by an overwhelming explosion.

"boom--"

Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky.

Cen Jinyue's expression was a little stunned, and then she was engulfed by flames.

In his live broadcast room, several viewers exclaimed.

[Wow——It seems that the original attack was for this. ]

[Shit! Is the Moon Goddess going to be okay? ]

[No wonder they were not detected by the Moon Goddess's props, these surprise gift boxes are hidden in the vines! ]

[I will definitely not die, but I am not sure if I will be injured...]

The explosion raised countless flying dusts. After a brief tremor, the entire area was shaken, and more tall trees fell down, making the area more empty.

“…Damn it.”

Cen Jinyue's vague voice came out from the smoke and dust.

Just as he used his skills to make the flying dust fall to the ground, a black shadow suddenly flashed by.

“——clang!”

The clown used the smoke and dust from the explosion to get close enough!

However, his attack failed to hit Cen Jinyue, but only hit the outer shell of the gravitational field from a few meters away.

His movements were so fast that only afterimages were left, making it impossible to tell how much damage the Joker had inflicted in just one second, but the gravitational field only emitted a shrill whine and did not break apart.

Failing to break the shield, the clown immediately retreated, trying to get out of Cen Jinyue's attack range.

But it was too late.

An invisible force suddenly came down, crushing the gravel at the clown's feet into pieces.

The smoke and dust completely dissipated, and Cen Jinyue's figure became clear.

He was a little surprised when he saw the clown taking the skill and then retreating.

"Oh? Have the defensive items been upgraded?"

But then he added to himself, "It looks like you bought something new from Xu Zhiyan... That's right, otherwise you wouldn't have insisted on coming here to die."

The remaining nine people on the island gathered in one place, and Lu Yaoling had swiped the membership fee of the Utopia. He could basically infer that it was the profiteer Xu Zhiyan who was at work. The Joker and others bought more powerful defensive props from him, and after buying them, they thought they could fight... Very good, very reasonable.

As he spoke, the clown retreated out of Cen Jinyue's attack range.

In the following period, the battle became a stalemate.

The clown always manages to launch some unexpected attacks from time to time and use props to escape, but his attacks are only accumulated around the gravitational field, and after several rounds, he has not been able to break through the defense.

Cen Jinyue was not angry.

He just thought the clown was funny.

"You targeted my strongest defense right from the start. Now no matter what you do, it will just be a scratch."

"I'm telling you straight, if you want to break this defense, you'll need to launch another sixteen rounds of attacks."

He could feel the cracks in the realm.

But that doesn't matter.

Before the gravitational field is broken, he will first destroy the clown's new defensive props and kill the opponent.

But the man holding the flying knife seemed to be deaf. He tilted his head, lifted his mask, spat out a mouthful of blood, and once again assumed an attacking posture.

The Joker has now become a tool that never gets tired.

He ignored all the injuries on his body and only focused on attacking.

Another hour passed.

Cen Jinyue began to become a little impatient.

The clown acted like a fool, constantly weakening his defenses, and darting around like a slippery loach, which was really annoying.

When the gravitational field vibrated again, Cen Jinyue looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky and decided not to continue admiring this annoying suicide attack.

"That's a good attack for an assassin."

"It's a pity that everything is over."

Unless the clown can continuously take out powerful defensive props to resist the attacks, he will not even be qualified to get close, let alone break his defense under such pressure.

After saying that, Cen Jinyue raised her palm in front of her, but unlike before when she released her skills, her palm was facing the ground. Instead, she turned her back hand to face the moon.

"Your teammates have already abandoned you, what are you still struggling for?"

The two were about a hundred meters apart. Cen Jinyue got information from the feedback of the props and found that Dou Hongshan, who had just attacked him with the clown, had retreated to a place more than five hundred meters away. It was obvious that he did not intend to die with this stupid assassin.

The barrage of comments flashed quickly in the live broadcast room, saying all kinds of things, but most people were talking about Cen Jinyue's skills.

[What the hell! Is the Moon Goddess going to use her ultimate move? ]

[The small skill can't hit the clown more than a hundred meters away, but if it's the moon-attracting bonus, let alone the clown, it's still unclear whether the one running away can run out of range...]

[The last time I saw Luna use her ultimate was last time. 】

[You fucking said loneliness upstairs]

【actually……】

Someone said something, but it was quickly blocked out by other comments, and the discussion outside the field did not affect the battle in the copy.

The clown was wearing a mask so his expression couldn't be seen.

But his sudden retreat meant that he knew very well how terrifying Cen Jinyue's next skill would be.

But it was too late.

Cen Jinyue's upward palm cracked open, and blood strangely floated towards the sky. His clothes and hair were no longer controlled by gravity, and the stones, grass clippings and wood blocks in the surrounding area also floated randomly in the air.

The next moment, the messy debris fell to the ground, and the gravity around Cen Jinyue returned to normal.

On the contrary, the ground around the clown was hit by an invisible heavy blow and suddenly shrank into the ground, as if it was hammered into the ground.

The clown was the only one left standing in the entire area.

He didn't move, maintaining the same posture as before. Only the bulging veins and cracked skin on his body showed that he was resisting tremendous pressure.

Cen Jinyue had a cold expression and bent her fingers.

The two men faced each other from a distance of more than a hundred meters, and the controlled power easily took off the clown's mask.

Just as expected.

The man under the mask was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his eyes were bulging outwards, which looked a bit scary.

But when she caught a glimpse of the clown's raised mouth, a hint of confusion appeared in Cen Jinyue's eyes.

"why are you laughing?"

How can anyone smile when facing death?

Feeling that the opponent had reduced the intensity of his attack, the clown suddenly coughed up blood. A large amount of blood stained his clothes red, mixed with dark red meat and suspected ruptured internal organs.

The new defensive gear can only keep him alive until his last breath. If the defense is removed, his body will be completely crushed.

But that didn't stop the clown from cackling.

Cen Jinyue was far away and could only see the other person's mouth moving and saying something. If he got closer, he would probably be able to hear what the other person said.

"I'm laughing at you for using the Moonlight Induction."

This is a secret known to only a few people. When Cen Jinyue uses Yueyin, she cannot use other skills, including the gravitational field.

Fortunately, Dark Alley already had this information.

In a flash, something strange happened!

"call out--"

The loud sound of arrows broke the silence and tore a hole in the darkness.

Cen Jinyue realized something was wrong and subconsciously clenched her hands, trying to retract her Moon Attraction skill, but it was too late...

A silver arrow with lightning flashed and came, and with a slight "click" sound, the arrow suddenly pierced his body from the side!

He turned his head stiffly.

It’s… the direction Dou Hongshan escaped.

“Swoosh—swoosh—”

More than one arrow.

Cold and hard arrows came flying at us one after another.

The one-sided situation took a sharp turn for the worse. In the blink of an eye, Cen Jinyue was riddled with arrows, with five or six arrows stuck in her side.

This is not the end yet.

When the next ordinary black arrow arrived, a bright white explosion appeared...

In the distance, a figure holding a longbow tore off his cloak.

The person under the cloak is not Dou Hongshan, but Jiang Huaizhe.

His chest heaved violently and he took a few breaths. Without time to do anything else, he turned around and headed back towards the clown.

Arrows can break through item defenses, but cannot break through skill defenses.

From the beginning to the end, their goal was not to really rely on the clown's attack to kill Cen Jinyue. They needed an opportunity, an opportunity for the opponent to withdraw his defensive skills.

The smoke has not yet cleared.

To be on the safe side, the explosion of arrows continued.

When Jiang Huaique found the clown, he was only breathing his last breath.

"The cooperation... is really... terrible."

"Why... don't you wait until I... die before shooting at me..."

The clown laughed and spoke incoherently.

Jiang Huai Que rolled his eyes.

"Just shut up, I'll bury you right where you are. I'm so far away from you that I don't dare to check any props. I'm lucky enough to succeed!"

He didn't have any nice words to say, but his tone was filled with joy at surviving a disaster.

Church monster nest.

Dou Hongshan, who had changed his clothes, walked back and forth anxiously, looking down at the panel from time to time, waiting for news.

She looked at Xu Zhiyan, who was playing with the diamond-shaped crystal calmly, and couldn't help asking, "Boss Xu, are you sure your plan will work?"

Time goes back to the morning.

After Jiang Huaique asked, the clown and Dou Hongshan, who were originally planning to leave, were kept.

At first they only thought that Jiang Huaique himself would be involved, but when the other party learned that Cen Jinyue not only did not move towards the church monster nest, but walked to the other side of the island, he said he would wait for Xu Zhiyan.

I waited anxiously until noon.

Xu Zhiyan, who had eaten and slept enough, arrived late.

After listening to their plan, the young man stroked his chin and smiled.

"Sixty percent confidence is far from enough."

"Buy some items. For only 800,000, your chance of winning can be increased to 90%!"

…

Dou Hongshan pulled himself away from his memories.

She opened the game panel with a cold face, and when she saw the word "success" sent by the clown, her heart finally settled down.

Looking at Xu Zhiyan's young and steady profile again, she felt complicated.

This guy looks like he's easy to bully, he's tall and thin with a delicate appearance, like a vase, but after learning about the properties of the tracking dog doll, such a person can immediately start making arrangements in an orderly manner.

After getting all the information, Xu Zhiyan guessed that Cen Jinyue killed other players first because she was afraid of the thunder-specific attacks when she went to the island.

Cen Jinyue also knew the information about the number of people they knew.

Xu Zhiyan asked Dou Hongshan to give birth to attack-type plant seeds, and Jiang Huaique put on a cloak and used the information gap to make Cen Jinyue mistakenly believe that the person fighting him had not changed.

Cen Jinyue has been careful enough.

Plant attacks cannot break through item defenses. Even so, he did not use the Moon Attraction until Dou Hongshan was far away and he was sure that there was no third player within 500 meters of him.

Carefulness failed to allow him to dodge the attack.

The only difficulty in this plan is whether Jiang Huai Partridge can hit the opponent from a distance of 500 meters.

The results are encouraging.

Dou Hongshan knew that if she was given enough time, she could come up with a similar countermeasure, but she would never use it. She couldn't arrange the most important attack for others like the other party did...

Xu Zhiyan also received the same message.

He leaned against the demon statue with a relaxed expression, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Due to the limitations of the main system, ghosts and gods cannot walk into the church on the ground like the priest sliced. At most, they can only move around in the underground altar, and even stepping into the stone passage will attract attention.

If Cen Jinyue called, he would have to find a way to trick her underground.

This is somewhat difficult, and with so many other players, Cen Jinyue's attack range is large and can be performed without going underground, which will endanger the lives of customers.

Xu Zhiyan thought about it and decided that since the Joker and the others had Cen Jinyue's weaknesses, he might as well take this opportunity to physically eliminate this mimic... and by the way, he could also sell props and earn some money for weapons.

Now that the money has been made and the battle is over, why does he still feel uneasy?

Stand up and walk to the window.

Xu Zhiyan looked at the night sky through the gray glass.

The bright moon is still hanging high in the sky.

As if he had thought of something, his face changed slightly and he murmured, "We need to get them back soon..."

Dou Hongshan didn't understand what he heard.

Xu Zhiyan clenched his hanging hands into fists, and his heart beat faster and faster.

"Have you ever thought about why Cen Jinyue wasted the entire afternoon and waited until the evening to enter the area?"
