Just after the five stone pillars turned away, the huge coffin filled with an old atmosphere was suddenly opened, and a translucent old emperor without eyeballs slowly floated out.
This emperor ghost was quite lifelike, his luxurious Western-style robes and his withered and lifeless face were very consistent with the strange and dark palace here. Xia Tong was frightened again. With a "Woo-wah" sound, she retreated and ran to hide behind Zhou Yanjun's huge body.
"Didn't you say you've grown up?" Zhou Yanjun turned his head to look at him and laughed loudly.
"I... I'm not really scared!" the little wizard said timidly, "Let's... let's finish the fight quickly and leave here."
"No." Zhou Yanjun suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say before that King Kong was also playing this game?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xia Tong asked puzzledly.
"He hasn't appeared yet. He's probably still with the statue monster." Zhou Yanjun frowned and said, "That thing is not easy to deal with. If we encounter him while we're fighting the Emperor Ghost, given his personality, he might lead the team to grab the monster. Then we'll be doomed. To be safe, we should wait for a while."
Xia Tong said "Oh" as if she understood something.
"That's how we were almost wiped out by a sudden attack from a sabertooth tiger two years ago," Bo Yu continued in a low voice. "Back then, there was no equipment or level control. We hadn't figured out the Emperor Ghost's mechanics yet, and its skills dealt high damage. Maintaining our health was already a struggle. The sabertooth tiger's sudden attack threw aggro, and Timer was instantly killed by the boss. Then we were out of the game, and there was nothing more to it after that."
"Luckily, Zero was there. He had the longest damage range and excellent aggro control. After we were all killed, he quickly disengaged from the fight and was in good shape. Sabertooth didn't gain any advantage at all." Zhou Yanjun felt angry at the thought and stamped his foot fiercely. "But we were forced to disengage from the boss we were fighting so well. All our efforts were wasted all night. It makes me angry just thinking about it."
"I know about this. They were scolded on forums and Weibo for a long time. Sabretooth is a cruel man, but their team never cares about it. They don't respond when being scolded. They train when they should train and play when they should play." said the cat-eared girl.
"But why do they have to fight for monsters? Doesn't the public BOSS refresh every week? It won't run away. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Xia Tong asked curiously, pulling the corner of the cat-eared girl's clothes.
"It's because the rare items dropped by the hidden BOSS can improve the player's basic attributes?" said the cat-eared girl.
"Basic attributes?"
Bo Yu explained, "We can customize our equipment when playing professionally. Often, in league matches, subtle differences in basic attributes can determine the outcome of a match, making it crucial. Therefore, before each league begins, teams not only train against each other, but also organize dungeon raids and exploration. The league incorporates this into its business activities, calling them preparatory activities, with live broadcasts and betting competitions specifically for this purpose, which can last up to a month."
The cat-eared girl put her hands on her hips and sneered, "A team like Sabretooth, who will do anything to win the game, is definitely blacklisted in our PVE world. I also admire their shameless and invincible spirit."
"Well, that's also a Sabretooth Tiger... We're not facing a Sabretooth team right now, and not everyone is as shameless as a Sabretooth Tiger." The wild archer named "Dragon Pattern Tyrant" whispered, "Besides, the Snow Palace isn't a mainstream dungeon right now, so no one should be so bored as to come here to steal monsters, right?"
"To be on the safe side, let's wait until those guys show up before making any plans." Zhou Yanjun said firmly, "It's fine if the boss escapes, but if they take advantage of the boss we're halfway through defeating, I'll be furious."
"But...but isn't this kid scared?" Long Wen Batian was still unwilling and looked at Xia Tong hesitantly: "The sooner the fight, the sooner it will be over--" He was dumbfounded halfway through his words, and saw that the little wizard had found a flat stone in the corner, wiped the surface of the stone clean and bright with his wizard robe, and sat down with his butt, very obedient.jpg.
"I don't think I'm that scared anymore if I stay away from him!" Xia Tong hugged her knees and smiled foolishly: "Compared to before, I'm becoming more and more powerful!"
Zhou Yanjun: "...You're so powerful."
The cat-eared girl was touched by his doll-like sitting posture and ran over happily, saying, "Come on, make room for me, let's sit together!"
"Okay, okay, come here." Xia Tong moved her butt to the side and waved happily to the cat-eared girl.
The two of them sat close together in a row, chatting about everything from game strategies and gossip to offline internet-famous dessert shops. They even made appointments for each other to meet in person, and later they even started playing a clapping game.
Dragon Pattern Tyrant: "........."
That feeling of a loving mother and a filial son comes back again!
What kind of monsters are these!
Bo Yu looked difficult to talk to, and he had the same ID prefix as Zhou Yanjun. It was obvious that these four people were of the same mind. Long Wen Batian looked at the hidden boss with envy, but did not dare to act on his own due to Zhou Yanjun's power. He felt as if ants were crawling on his chest.
At this time, a temporary private chat box popped up on his friend interface.
Over there, after Dylan successfully formed a team with King Kong, he synchronized King Kong's copy progress with his teammates including Goblin. He stood at the end of the snowy underground palace that he had already cleared and stretched his muscles.
"I didn't expect you to actually bring people to rob monsters." King Kong narrowed his eyes and said, "God D is quite sentimental."
"It's not about nostalgia, I just want to meet old friends," said Dylan.
"What old friends? This is a feud between you two! When Zero comes back, it will be a new hatred and add to the old hatred!" King Kong gritted his teeth and said, "What a coincidence! I also dislike Team P! Especially Zhou Yanjun! That traitor!"
Dylan didn't really want to waste time talking to King Kong. King Kong was a talkative guy with a bad reputation in the circle. Dylan didn't think much of him. If it weren't for the fact that he was frightened by Lin Mingfei when he was picking up takeout that night, Dylan probably wouldn't have responded to King Kong's invitation.
The system notification for opening a hidden BOSS will also post the player information. Dylan took a quick look and found that there were two people from Team P. The cat-eared girl was a well-known dungeon nurse and seemed to be Zhou Yanjun's best friend. The one called Xia Xiaotong was a small character who had just reached the maximum level. Judging from what King Kong had just said when he jumped up and down and cursed, it seemed that he was also Zhou Yanjun's friend.
The only one left who could make a move was Longwen Batian.
I hope it's a wild man.
Dylan condescended to send a message.
Sabretooth_Dylan: [Hello.]
Sabretooth!! Dylan!!
Speak of the devil and he will appear! !
Longwen Batian was stunned. He was just an ordinary Wangling player, without sharp operating skills or a wealthy background. How could he have the audacity to be privately messaged by a professional player, not to mention a star player who had won the league championship? His hands were shaking as he replied: [You are Sabertooth Tiger's D God! I've heard so much about you!]
Sabertooth_Dylan: [Thanks for your likes. Have you guys started the monster hunt yet? ]
Dragon Pattern Tyrant: [I've released the Emperor Ghost, but they're unwilling to fight before the fight even begins.]
Sabretooth_Dylan: [Why?]
Dragon Pattern Tyrant: [They are afraid of being robbed.]
Sabertooth_Dylan: [Snow White Palace is an outdated dungeon. Besides nostalgic players, who would bother to grab monsters?]
Dragon Pattern Tyrant: [I think so too, they are really weird.]
Sabertooth_Dylan: [Maybe they're trying to wear out your patience and wait for you to automatically quit the team so they can steal your gear. I see there seems to be a recently maxed-out alt in your team?]
Longwen Batian was shocked and glanced at the people around him with vigilance and suspicion.
The little wizard was surrounded in the middle, and the other three were either teasing him or touching him, and the atmosphere was very happy.
Dylan's inference seems... not unreasonable.
Longwen Batian's face gradually turned darker.
He suddenly rushed forward, raised his gun and fired a shot at the emperor ghost floating right above the coffin.
Suddenly, a strong wind swept through, the earth shook, and the old emperor's ghost roared angrily, and Zhou Yanjun roared with him.
"Fuck! Are you addicted to your dirty tricks?! Here you go again!!" Zhou Yanjun was furious.
"I'm sorry! I was careless!" Long Wen Batian apologized falsely: "Since it's already started, let's just fight!"
Zhou Yanjun hesitated for a moment. He scanned his friend list and found that KUQ_KKONG's ID had turned gray.
King Kong is offline.
Zhou Yanjun's heart skipped a beat. Although this should be a good sign, he somehow felt a little uneasy.
"Let's fight!" He was so annoyed that he threw himself into it. "The Emperor Ghost has a looping mechanism. If you don't defeat the next stage within the specified time, you will keep returning to the starting point. It's very troublesome! Pay attention to my instructions!"
The Emperor Ghost roared and released tons of whirlwind-like black corpse gas, which spread in the narrow space. The group's health was dropping rapidly. The cat-eared girl was struggling to nurse and cursed angrily: "You bunch of dogs, DPS, if you have damage reduction skills, use them yourself! Don't pin all your hopes on the nurse! The nurse is not human! The nurse's milk is free, and you are squandering it like this!"
Xia Tong, despite being so weak, continued to attack fiercely, saying in a sweet voice, "Sister, all my skills have been put into attacking, what should I do?"
The cat-eared girl immediately said: "Tongtong, fly hard, sister will always be with you!"
The female elf formed seals with her palms, and instantly a crescent-shaped golden shield enveloped Xia Tong. The black corpse energy from the outside eroded the shield inch by inch. With a "bang", the shield broke, and Xia Tong's health was instantly restored.
"Damn it, I thought your Moon-Knotting Mark was an heirloom, and you'd never use it even if you die!" Zhou Yanjun cursed.
"Tongtong is the hope of our entire village!" The cat-eared girl didn't feel guilty at all, and said confidently: "It's gone, it's gone. I don't have any big skills in 30 seconds. You guys are on your own!"
Having said that, with their positioning and equipment attributes, they can more than hold on for thirty seconds. Zhou Yanjun could only roll his eyes in protest. While he was joking, a faint red line silently fell from the sky and passed through the cat-eared girl's body.
Xia Tong's eyes flashed slightly.
He realized what it was almost immediately. "Be careful!" he shouted, shifting the aim of his staff and hurling a red beam of curse light at the cat-eared girl.
The cat-eared girl was startled and screamed and rolled backwards. At the same time, a gunshot was heard. The bullet avoided her but hit Bo Yu who was right in front of the BOSS.
"Ugh!" Bo Yu suddenly knelt down on the ground. The realistic sense of penetration made him frown. He couldn't dodge in time and was instantly hit by several skills of the Emperor Ghost. His blood line became precarious.
"Someone's trying to steal the monster! Xiao Bo! Pull the boss off!" Zhou Yanjun roared. Just as he was about to urge his summoned beast to take the charge, he saw a black and gold phantom sprinting from the side. The Paladin Mo Lan of the Sabertooth Tiger team rode a lightning leopard and roared towards them. The spear grazed the ground, and the beast's sharp teeth were exposed, and murderous intent was surging.
In a flash, the team led by Polaris was torn apart, and its members were scattered. Zhou Yanjun and the wailing beast barely retreated to the edge of the palace and saw the ID prefixes of these bandits at a glance.
"Fuck you Sabretooth!! You guys are such a pervert!" He roared and distanced himself from the BOSS, approaching the cat-eared girl, but saw that Sabretooth's axe warrior King Robin had already attracted the BOSS's hatred in time. The red aiming line from the hunter was clearly floating in the air. Although he hadn't seen Dylan's position yet, he was sure that all five Sabretooths had arrived, and the whole team had successfully taken on the BOSS, which had half of its health left, and forced them out of the battle area.
Sabertooth's wizard goblin blew a long whistle, "Polaris is just like that!"
"You are bullying the weak with your numbers, you are so mean!" Bo Yu gritted his teeth.
"What do you mean by bullying the weak with numbers? You're just weak. Two years ago, even with only Zero left, you still managed to wipe out our Sabretooths. Now, if you have the guts, let history repeat itself!" The Goblin boasted. "If you don't have the guts, don't even bother returning to the league. After two years, even the best products will be eliminated by the market, let alone you. You're such a disgrace!"
Bo Yu: “!!!”
"Hey! Don't be impulsive!" The cat-eared girl looked pale. She struggled to keep their health up and said in a trembling voice, "I'm not a PVP nurse. You'll definitely suffer in a fight! If you die and return to the dungeon entrance and run over here, they'll have already defeated the boss. You really won't stand a chance!"
"What should we do? Are we just going to get beaten up for nothing?!" Bo Yu said angrily, "Besides, why don't they just kill us all?"
"Perhaps they guessed we wouldn't dare fight back, and they want us to watch the boss being snatched away with our own eyes." Zhou Yanjun's mind was clear for once, not blinded by rage. He said in a hoarse voice, "Let's get our health back to full strength first. If we don't lose any men, we'll see if there's another chance later—"
"Hey! Why did this rookie shooter quit the team!" the cat-eared girl suddenly said.
Bo Yu and Zhou Yanjun's expressions suddenly changed. They scanned the message interface and found that one person was missing from the team list. The system prompted: [Longwen Batian] has left your team.
On the map, the ID above Longwen Batian's head had lost its team logo. He waved at Sabertooth Tiger and his group, saying flatteringly, "God D, you see, I'm on your side! I don't mean to go against you! Come on, God D!"
"Fuck you..." Zhou Yanjun couldn't catch his breath, and all kinds of curse words came out. He wished he could use his tongue to dig out Long Wen Batian's ancestral grave. Long Wen Batian was so scared that he took a few steps back and simply went offline.
"I'm wondering why this idiot keeps killing monsters over and over again! He might be colluding with Sabretooth!" Zhou Yanjun roared, "Damn it!"
"Or... forget it, just think of it as stepping in shit when you go out." The cat-eared girl felt hopeless. She glanced at the Emperor Ghost's health bar, which was only a quarter left.
"You should quit the team. What remains is a personal grudge between us and Sabretooth Tiger. You should stay out of it." Zhou Yanjun whispered.
"You...what are you planning to do?" The cat-eared girl's heart skipped a beat. "Just the two of you, what can you do?"
"It should be no problem for the two of us to exchange a wet nurse." Zhou Yanjun suddenly grinned, revealing two sharp canine teeth: "Isn't it, Xiaobo?"
"Yeah." Bo Yu turned his head meaningfully, his sharp and cold eyes falling on the elf floating in the air.
The cat-eared girl understood.
The so-called "swapping healers" is a common PVP strategy, particularly in 3v3 situations. Two DPS players, unleashing a flurry of burst control, attempt to quickly kill the opposing healer. Whichever team's healer survives the longest wins. This strategy, commonly known as "swapping healers," is a desperate tactic, demanding extremely high DPS skill and minimal coordination, requiring no room for error. Even the slightest skill flaw can be exploited by the enemy. However, those who master this strategy are typically incredibly skilled, employing control immunity and damage reduction chains to their full potential, rendering them impervious to even the most mundane interference.
As a wet nurse, Cat-Eared Girl felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about that scene.
"You bunch of PVP dogs, hiss—" she said tremblingly, "Then I'm leaving. Take care! Anyway, no matter what the result is today, don't take it too seriously!"
Saber-toothed tiger's nanny YOYO flew in the air for a while, feeling uncomfortable all over because of the two burning gazes.
"Brother D, Goblin, those two guys from Team P seem to be staring at me the whole time. They're perverts!"
"You're overthinking it! You're not some stunning beauty, why would they look at you?" The goblin gloated, "Hey, their nanny has also quit the team!"
"You better focus on your DPS," Dylan said gravely. "You've already gone through phase four twice and still haven't finished. Is your DPS any good?"
"Oh, just playing casually." The goblin said nonchalantly, "Brother D, I just took a look and saw that little wizard on their team is quite cute. Do you think I can add him as my friend? Just say I can be his mentor and teach him how to play wizards."
"Let's talk about it after the fight." Dylan replied.
Goblin curled his lips, "Hey YOYO, I just said a few foul words. If those two idiots from Team P attack me, you better keep an eye on my health..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw two phantoms cut into their team and rushed straight towards YOYO.
The White Wolf King howled loudly, leaped up, bit the Gray Elf who was healing him at low altitude, and threw him out fiercely. YOYO was stunned. The next second, the sharp axe blade shattered his temporary protective shield. The killing effect in "King's Tomb" was not very bloody, but the impact was very strong, with fragments and blood flying. For a moment, YOYO was pinned to the ground by the axe and the horse, and screamed: "Save me, save me!!"
Everyone at Sabertooth Tiger's table turned pale when they heard the sound.
"Damn! They're both in their dominance mode! There's no way to stop them!"
In a flash, YOYO's health bar was emptied and he disappeared from the face of the earth.
"Damn! How dare you hit my nanny!" The goblin was furious. He gave up on the BOSS in an instant and aimed the tip of his staff at Bo Yu's head.
"Goblin, ignore them! Fight the boss!" Dylan yelled.
"What's the point of fighting an outdated boss? Even Yoyo is gone!" The goblin was furious.
"Xiao Bo, be careful!" Zhou Yanjun shouted. He drove the White Wolf King to fly behind Bo Yu and blocked a beam of curse light from the goblin. The White Wolf King was killed and escaped into the void with a mournful howl. Zhou Yanjun had no summoned beast and could only dodge on foot.
Without the output of the goblins, the Emperor Ghost's cycle mechanism started working and returned to the beginning of the fourth stage. Dylan was so angry that his teeth were itching. At this time, Zhou Yanjun was killed by the angry goblins, leaving only a low-health Bo Yu. The axe warrior's dying passive was triggered, and he entered a five-second state of fighting spirit. He was invincible and his damage doubled. He actually turned around and counterattacked the goblins.
The goblin didn't realize that he had no nurse anymore, and he attacked Bo Yu crazily for several seconds. He was knocked down by an axe, and both of them died instantly.
"Damn! These two lunatics from Team P." Mo Lan was shocked by this act of destroying both himself and the enemy, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't sigh! Defeat the BOSS quickly! We'll settle the score with them after we defeat them!" Dylan roared. They used all their skills to deal out damage crazily. Seeing that the Emperor Ghost's health was about to drop, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on Dylan's face.
He could already imagine what kind of discussion would ignite in the Wangling Forum when the system notification appeared in the world that the hidden BOSS opened by Polaris was finally defeated by Sabertooth Tiger.
Would any wizards be willing to join a team that hadn't achieved success? Without wizards, they couldn't muster enough players to return to the league!
In a flash, a light blue cursed halo fell on their tank King Robin, wrapping around him and suddenly tightening.
"Forbidden spell?" King Robin was stunned, and the next second he was dragged by this strong cursed halo to run towards the edge of the map.
"Fuck! Lao Wang, don't run!" Mo Lan was shocked.
"Someone is messing with me!" King Robin roared.
"Don't you have the skill to break free from control? Break free from control!" Mo Lan shouted. King Robin threw up his axe and cut off the restriction on his body, but before he could even breathe out, the restriction came down again.
"My control release is still on cooldown! Damn, his forbidden spell has no cooldown!" King Robin shouted. He was pulled by the forbidden spell and ran straight to the edge of the map. The BOSS's hatred was still on him, and it also followed him to the edge of the map.
"Stop running! If you keep running, the boss will pull you away!" Mo Lan roared, and Robin King's eyes flushed with anxiety. The wizard's forbidden spell could link him to the target, inflicting a three-second trance debuff, controlling the target's movement, but only for three seconds. Normally, a wizard would release the spell after three seconds to connect with other damaging or crowd control skills, but this wizard was clearly not very proficient. Robin King waited for the trance debuff to disappear, then yanked back hard. He heard a cry of "ouch!" and a dusty little thing rolled out, landing hard on its butt.
"It's that smurf from their team!" Dylan recognized him. "Don't worry about him, Lao Wang! Pull the monster back!"
"Here I come!" King Robin responded. He looked at Xia Tong coldly. The little wizard stared at him with a pair of big eyes with clear black and white, his face full of innocence and ignorance. He held the staff in one hand and pressed the hood with the other hand, like a beautiful doll. King Robin suddenly felt malicious and kicked him.
"Mommy Duck!" Xia Tong called out, and was kicked high up by King Robin like a shuttlecock. She was suddenly hung on the chandelier at the top of the palace, swinging back and forth.
King Robin sneered at him, turned around with satisfaction, and was about to pull the BOSS back to the position, but unexpectedly the forbidden spell came again.
"Don't even think about going back to fight our BOSS!!! Don't even think about it!!" Xia Tong said angrily, his little butt hanging on the chandelier with his hands facing the sky, his staff tightly gripped, the azure spell light formed a solid chain, tightly tied to King Robin in place.
"Fuck!" King Robin roared. He tried to break free from the control again, but Xia Tong's skills seemed to have no cooldown and entangled his body again and again. He could only watch the hatred being cleared, and the BOSS stuck at the border of the area's blood volume being restored bit by bit, and then leaving the battle and floating back to the starting point.
The boss pulled away.
"Fuck!" Mo Lan and Dylan cursed at the same time. Veins bulged on Dylan's forehead. He swung his gun abruptly, the red crosshairs slowly gathering around Xia Tong's brow. He gritted his teeth and said, "You asked for it."
Xia Tong was still hanging on the chandelier, struggling with his limbs for a long time but unable to get down, like a living target. He turned his eyes and saw the ghostly aiming line fixed there, and swallowed hard.
"I, Xia Xiaotong, am the most powerful Omega—" he shouted to himself as if to encourage himself, covering his eyes in fear.
"Bang"
The expected pain and impact did not come. Xia Tong made a gap between her ten fingers and her middle finger, and saw a tall and graceful hunter not far away, holding a gun in one hand in a dashing manner. Two "corpses" were lying at his feet, and they were Dylan and Mo Lan.
"Hey, mighty Omega." The beautiful elf flapped its wings and flew down from a high altitude, teasing her. With a flick of her fingertips, she untied the tattered robe that Xia Tong had hooked on the chandelier.
"Oh my god!" Xia Tong screamed and fell. Shi Ya happened to fly over lightly and swiftly, hugged him around the waist and landed on the ground.
After Xia Tong stepped onto the flat ground, she was stunned for two seconds, her mouth drooping, and she burst into tears: "I'm not powerful at all, wuwuwuwu——"
"Hey!" Shi Ya put one hand on her waist and patted the top of his head with the other hand like a ball, laughing: "Good boy, good boy! It's okay, Brother Shi has brought you some help."
Dylan and Mo Lan's "corpses" hadn't yet reached their resurrection point, and now they could only watch helplessly as their bodies were wantonly trampled upon by Lin Mingfei. Lin Mingfei maliciously kicked each of them and sneered, "What made you think you could do two years later if you couldn't do it two years ago? You're quite courageous."
Before he could finish his words, someone suddenly grabbed him from behind and hugged him.
The little Omega pressed his face against his back and cried, "Brother—"
The Lord Gun God, who was just uttering harsh words, became stiff all over, with a faint blush of embarrassment on his ears, and his evil and charming demeanor completely disappeared.
Xia Tong rubbed against his strong and broad back like a little animal, complaining sadly: "Brother! They stole our monsters, beat Pangpang and Xiaobo to death, and kicked me, wuwuwuwu——"
"Cough." Lin Mingfei coughed and pulled the little wizard's thin arm to pull him to her side: "Xia Xiaotong."
"OK......"
"Look at these two people, give an idiom." Lin Mingfei pointed at Dylan and Mo Lan on the ground, her face full of murderous intent.
Xia Tong looked again and again with tears in her eyes.
Shi Ya couldn't help laughing and pressed her lower lip with her fist.
"What a cold joke." He said, "Just a reminder, Zero only fired one shot just now."
Xia Tong stopped crying. He wiped his nose, thought seriously for a moment, and tentatively answered:
"Kill two birds with one stone?"
"Yeah, that's right." Lin Mingfei confirmed seriously: "It's a stupid sculpture."
The author has something to say: Sabretooth Tiger: If you keep scolding me!
Lin Mingfei: I cursed :)
