Chapter 138
There was a moment of silence in the air, and the white-faced ghost cleared his throat unnaturally.
"There's a gap between practice and theory. Haven't you heard of this saying?"
The ripe tomato was skeptical: "Is that so..."
Without further hesitation, a group of people rushed into the venue with weapons.
As White-Faced Ghost said, the fifth Mantis Man did have an invincibility buff at the beginning, so everyone was not in a hurry and ran all over the field.
Running is a common thing for Qingyao and the dozen or so people above him.
After all, when doing dungeons or guild missions, the number one Mo Se always teams up with them. With her as a fast runner, no one dares to slow down and has to run with her the whole time.
Over time, even they themselves didn't realize that their movements had surpassed many people of the same level.
Not far away, an elementalist player from the Black Domain Kingdom couldn't help but stare.
"No, I understand Mo Se's good mechanics, but why are the others also so good at positioning?"
Especially the guy with the same profession as him, whose ID was "Give You a Little Punch", he ran like the wind, Lao Wu's skills were thrown at him several times, but he easily avoided them.
On the other hand, on the Black Domain Kingdom side, although most of the long-range soldiers were able to dodge well, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the people of the Black Domain Kingdom were having a harder time. Several of them were even nearly hit head-on by the attacks, which made the White-Faced Ghost curse in anger.
Next to the Elementalist, a male Star Official player also expressed disbelief, "Their reaction speed is truly fast. It feels like they all have clairvoyance. Bird Brother, is this really their first time playing against the fifth boss?"
The elementalist named Bird Brother raised his eyebrows. "How should I know? But considering White-Faced Ghost explained it to them in such detail before, this is probably his first time, right?"
Otherwise, why waste so much time talking to them?
The male star official's face showed surprise. "They really are quite capable, no wonder the president wants to form an alliance with them."
As he was speaking, Lao Wu suddenly used a skill that affected the entire field. The gorgeous skill special effects poured down from the top of his head and hit the ground like a meteor.
The white-faced ghost immediately shouted, "Run to the outside! If you can't escape, run for your life!"
The people of the Black Domain Kingdom were already accustomed to this aspect. Without waiting for the White-Faced Ghost's command, they turned around and ran to the outer circle when they saw Lao Wu's pre-swinging action.
The members of Qingyaozhishang were unaware of this and did not run away immediately. Instead, they stayed in the field until they heard the White-faced Ghost's order, and then they rushed to the outer circle.
Their movements were a few seconds slower than those of the Black Domain Kingdom. Don't underestimate these few seconds. In such a short time, the fifth brother had completed the charging process, and his skills fell like flowers from the sky.
"Nurse! Restore health to the people who are going straight up to Qingyao!"
The white-faced ghost had already been prepared for Qingyao to go straight up and not be able to avoid it, and he shouted orders.
The priests immediately raised their magnificent weapons, ready to chant at any time.
However, at this moment, all the pastors were suddenly stunned.
The white-faced ghost gritted his teeth and said, "What are you standing there for! Even if Qingyao goes straight up and everyone falls down, you have to help me get them back!"
Heiyu Qingtian still hopes to rely on their combat power to get the first kill, they can't afford to fall!
A pastor trembled and said, "No, it's not the white-faced ghosts. They seem... no one fell..."
No one?! The white-faced ghost was startled and turned around to look.
In the field where skills were splashing everywhere, more than ten people who were sent by Qingyao were seen dodging quickly as if they had pulleys under their feet. At first glance, they looked like they were running away in panic, but if you looked closely at each person, you would find that they were running in a very regular pattern.
As soon as they saw signs of a skill falling, the people nearby immediately dispersed. Even after dispersing, they did not relax their vigilance and continued to turn to avoid new attacks. This repeated process made it seem as if they could predict in advance where the skill would fall.
"That's outrageous! Could it be that they all have eyes on the back of their heads?" Several highly agile assassins from the Black Domain Kingdom couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
You should know that the falling process of these skills only takes 1 second. If you can't react within 1 second, you will be killed by the skills immediately.
1 second! Even if the people from the Black Domain Kingdom were to go up, they might not be able to dodge it, especially for those with short legs and long-range attacks. It would be even more difficult to dodge it. But all the people who went straight up from Qingyao dodged it perfectly. It was so outrageous that it was like they were cheating!
Even the White-Faced Ghost, who was used to seeing the high level of his own members, couldn't help but be speechless.
The person who is directly above Qingyao...when did he become so powerful?
In just fifteen seconds, Lao Wu's scattering of flowers was over, and the more than ten people in the field finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, my butt almost got burned just now." The ripe tomato touched its butt and was glad that its legs moved quickly.
Even though he laughed until his face became paralyzed, he shook his arm holding the greatsword and said, "My hand is a little sore."
Xia Mo stopped and turned to look at them: "No one was injured or died, right?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison: "No."
Xia Mo: "That's good, get ready for the second stage."
"yes!"
According to the White-Faced Ghost, the second stage is to poison the feet.
Compared to the skill that filled the entire field with flowers scattering from the sky just now, the few poison circles now were nothing to Qingyao's people. Even the ranged magicians who were relatively slow in agility could easily run out of the poison circles under their feet.
"Hey buddy, how did you dodge the Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers skill just now?" While running and throwing skills, several ranged players from the Black Domain Kingdom suddenly came up to Xiao Quanquan and asked curiously.
Little Quanquan was confused: "Huh?"
Black Domain Kingdom's ranged player: "Oh, how did you predict the skill would fall on you and react within 1 second?"
Xiao Quan threw a Justice Pursuit at Lao Wu, then turned around and said: "I didn't predict it very well. When the skill lands on your head, a shadow will appear under your feet. Just run away when you see the shadow."
They knew about the shadow, but the problem was that it was too late to run when they saw the shadow. The remote people from the Black Domain Kingdom did not give up and continued to pester him with questions.
Little Quanquan hadn't expected them to ask so much about avoiding something. She felt speechless, and finally said bluntly, "You couldn't avoid the shadow even after seeing it. Doesn't that just mean you're slow to react?"
Black Domain Kingdom Remote: ...Damn!
There is nothing more heartbreaking than being belittled by people in the same profession. Some people knew that they were not strong enough and ran away in disgrace.
On the other side, Heiyu Qingtian glanced at the DPS panel from time to time.
This time he replaced the people from Xiaoqi's group with people from Qingyao, in order to allow the latter to produce higher output than Xiaoqi's group.
His requirements weren't high; a 10-12% increase would be enough. As long as they could shoulder this burden, the Black Domain Kingdom would have a good chance of clearing the Scorching Abyss.
However, after repeated observations, Heiyu Qingtian discovered that the firepower of Qingyao Zhishang's people was unexpectedly strong. From the moment they entered the second stage, their output and damage resistance were surprisingly almost the same as those of the Black Domain Kingdom.
If their healing was not so poor, with their single health recovery lower than that of the Black Domain Kingdom's priest, I'm afraid the two teams would have ended in a tie.
And this is when Qingyao's equipment is not up to par. If their equipment were piled up, these more than ten people would undoubtedly be ranked in the top 20 of their respective professional rankings.
It seems that it is right to form an alliance with their guild. Heiyu Qingtian narrowed his eyes slightly. With their assistance, the Black Domain Kingdom will go further.
After the poison circle was released, Lao Wu screamed angrily, swung his two front legs fiercely, and began to release foul air.
As mentioned before, this turbid air explosion is a bit similar to the third boss's poisonous bubble. The turbid air will move at high speed in the field and randomly select a player to chase. After the player is caught up, he will be infected by the turbid air and the turbid air will explode within 5 seconds.
Players must run to an open area within this time and expose themselves, otherwise they will injure teammates on the field.
In addition, the Mantis Man will also target specific people and those targeted must also run away.
In other words, those on the field have to guard against the moving foul air while also paying attention to whether they have been named.
This stage has very high requirements for priests and warlocks, because once they die, it means that the team will have one less nurse, which is very unfavorable for surviving the later stages.
The person who went straight up with Qingyao had no experience, and the male priest's god-like wings were the first to be tainted by the foul air. He had no choice but to run out of the field to expose himself and wait for other nurses to pull him up.
【Xiaohuahua, I’m dead, help me up! 】
He immediately let out a bubble of air after falling to the ground.
Seeing this, Latiao Xiaohuahua, who was pulling others, said: "Wait a minute, I'll save two people first!"
Lao Wu called the roll too frequently, so she had to run back and forth to save people.
The godlike wings obeyed, replied with an "Oh" and waited patiently.
Suddenly, a wave of foul air denser than before was released, and two of them targeted Latiao Xiaohuahua at the same time.
The godlike wings were startled and quickly typed on the keyboard: [Little Flower!!! Watch your back!]
Xia Mo also noticed that there were two turbid airs running towards Xiao Huahua, so he quickly turned around to chase them and prepared to use his ice body shield to block them.
However, the next second, Latiao Xiaohuahua made a mistake in prediction, thinking that the two foul airs were going to come up from the left rear, so he raised his foot and ran to the right. Unexpectedly, one of them just turned around on the spot and then turned to the right.
Spicy strips and little flowers collided head-on with the foul air.
5 seconds countdown!
Her face changed drastically, she stopped and quickly ran to the outside circle.
boom!
As soon as the 5 seconds were over, Latiao Xiaohuahua exposed herself outside the venue.
At about the same time, two priests from the Black Domain Kingdom also died one after another.
The white-faced ghost roared angrily: "What's wrong with you two! You haven't been named, nor have you been chased by the turbid air, so why did you expose yourselves?"
The two people lying on the ground felt guilty and dared not speak.
Xia Mo could see it clearly from the side.
It’s no wonder that Tomato was curious about why they couldn’t win even though they had the strategy. It’s really because some players in the Black Domain Kingdom have really poor skills.
Knowing that anyone who ran to the edge would expose themselves, and that no one was allowed to get close within 3 meters, the two priests didn't see anyone behind them and foolishly ran into the 3-meter circle. With a bang, their teammate exposed himself, and they suffered as well.
Xia Mo silently withdrew her gaze and launched a counterattack the moment Lao Wu finished calling out names! Single Star Shock, continuous damage to Starlight, frozen Star Destruction... Lao Wu was dizzy from being hit by her!
Soon her output was OT.
"Cunning human, you are not worthy to coexist with us!"
After reciting the lines routinely, the mantis man bypassed the melee fighter who was pulling the monster, suddenly jumped in front of her, and swung his sharp forelimbs at her neck.
The people of the Black Domain Kingdom were startled, and the few remaining nurses raised their priest staffs to restore her health.
Xia Mo squatted down quickly, and the mantis claws slashed across her head, bringing up a gust of cold wind. After the cold wind passed, she suddenly kicked the ground and jumped back!
Scattered all over the place!
A star net gleaming with silver light fell from above and instantly trapped Lao Wu.
Reduce speed by 50%!
Xia Mo: "No need to treat me, hurry up and attack!"
The Mantis Man still has several skills to use, and it is not a good thing for the team to spend too much time in the front.
Discovering that the Mantis Man was slowed down by her skills, the people from the Black Domain Kingdom and Qingyao Zhigang immediately switched to their big skills!
3, 2, 1, the slowdown is over! Mantis Man's health dropped to 65% when a blue diamond-shaped shield suddenly rose in the middle of the field, summoning air and ground reinforcements as the shield flickered.
This is Lao Wu's third-stage skill, shield absorption and reinforcement summoning, which is very difficult to fight.
On the one hand, the shield will absorb damage instead of the Mantis Man, up to 800W. On the other hand, the reinforcements on the ground and in the air will continue to harass the player, making it impossible for the player to continue attacking.
The most direct idea is to break the shield so that you can devote your energy to attacking the boss and clearing out the reinforcements.
Obviously, this is also the idea of the Black Domain Kingdom.
"Everyone use your ultimate skills! Break the shield quickly!" The white-faced ghost reminded loudly in the voice chat.
Melee, ranged, support, healing, everyone runs and focuses fire on the shield.
But Xia Mo didn't do that.
She picked up the bombs dropped by the enemies in the sky and threw them accurately at the shield without hesitation.
After throwing one, pick up the nearby ones and continue throwing.
After several operations, the shield's defense dropped almost straight down! And the reinforcements and monsters surrounding the shield were also cleared out.
The people of the Black Domain Kingdom were stunned.
"Damn, it turns out these bombs can not only blow us up, but also blow themselves up!"
The members realized it later and immediately retracted their weapons, started picking up the fallen bombs, and threw them at the shield.
"Be careful, the bomb will automatically ignite 3 seconds after it hits the ground, and will explode 3 seconds after ignition. Don't pick it up if you don't have time, or you might get hurt."
Seizing the opportunity, Xia Mo explained in time.
At this time, the people of the Black Domain Kingdom did not realize that they had subconsciously obeyed her orders.
The White-Faced Ghost watched this scene and helplessly spread his hands towards the Black Domain Sky: "The command has been taken away~"
Black Domain Sky: "Whoever can lead the team through the level will naturally be the one in charge."
The white-faced ghost rolled his eyes: Yes, yes, yes...
The shield was quickly destroyed by the bomb, and some of the reinforcements on the ground and in the air were also eliminated simultaneously. This progress was much faster than the Black Domain Kingdom expected, but the White-Faced Ghost was still not happy.
"Black Domain, too many of us have died." He reported in a separate voice chat while throwing bombs. "Mo Se reminded them to pay attention to the time when picking up bombs, but there are always people who just rush to pick them up without paying attention to the time, and end up being killed in vain. I feel like the pressure is a bit too much. How about... leaving the battle first?"
The White-Faced Ghost counted and found that 8 of them were killed in the bomb-picking incident alone. They already had insufficient treatment and were under great pressure, and now 8 more of them had died. There was no time to revive them.
Unexpectedly, the other end replied: "Don't leave the battle, continue."
The white-faced ghost was confused. He had no choice but to remind the person who picked up the bomb to pay attention to the time!
When Lao Wu had 15% of his health left, the only ones left were him, Heiyu Qingtian, Qingshui, Mo Se, and a female hunter named He Ye Xiaoxiao on their side.
"Damn, there are only so few people!" The white-faced ghost turned around and sighed breathlessly.
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, another diamond-shaped shield appeared in the center.
His wide eyes were filled with despair and astonishment: "No way??? Still coming?!"
Xia Mo: "It should be the final stage."
You can win after playing this.
The premise is that the five of them can do it.
In one sentence, the pressure on the field increased dramatically.
After she finished speaking, she rushed out and the final battle began!
The reinforcements from the sky continued to drop bombs on the ground. Three seconds after ignition, the black bombs exploded. While trying to avoid the bombs, the white-faced ghost was unfortunately killed. In the hearts of the living, the scale called "pressure" weighed even heavier.
"I'll go pull the monsters, you guys aim and throw them over!"
At this stage, bombs are not only used to blow up shields and monsters, but also to blow up the fifth boss.
However, there were no warriors among the living people, so Xia Mo took the initiative to take responsibility, rushed forward, and ran straight towards the mantis man!
Critical hit! Critical hit! Critical hit again!
The terrible output made Lao Wu's hatred shift to her. Xia Mo pulled Lao Wu and turned to run towards the shield. Lao Wu chased after her, his slender legs moving very fast, which frightened the people lying on the ground.
After running to the shield, Xia Mo turned around and went around to the front. Lao Wu was slowed down by the turn and his moving figure suddenly slowed down.
"Now, throw it!"
At her command, Qingshui, Heye Xiaoxiao and Heiyu Qingtian threw bombs madly, and she accelerated her pace and ran out in an instant.
The explosion caused sparks to appear on Lao Wu's skin, and his health dropped sharply.
There was another bang, and a bomb in the distance suddenly exploded for no reason. He Ye Xiaoxiao, who accidentally stepped into the explosion range, screamed and fell to the ground.
There were only three people left, and everyone was getting more nervous.
Xia Mo followed suit and pulled Lao Wu over. Qingshui and Heiyu Qingtian continued to throw. With a click, the shield absorbed the damage and shattered on its own.
Xia Mo clenched his weapon: "Switch to output, kill the boss as quickly as possible! Don't worry about the monsters!"
If you can't kill the Mantis within 5 minutes, a new shield will appear!
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Wu jumped again and jumped directly in front of Qingshui.
It happened that Qingshui's position was a little off, and he was blocked by Lao Wu who jumped over. He couldn't run left or right. Finally, Xia Mo saw him directly throw a single-target big skill [Soul Extraction], and Lao Wu also swung his forelimbs at him at almost the same time!
Qingshui fell to the ground first, but before he fell, he contributed considerable critical damage to the team.
The fifth brother has 4.5% of his health left, but there are only 2 and a half minutes left.
Xia Mo gritted her teeth, accelerated and rushed over, attacking it around. Lao Wu was angered by her and suddenly set off a huge wave!
She was blown away by the huge waves in an instant, and the Black Domain Sky-lifting beside her was also thrown out.
"Drink the red medicine!"
The huge waves were quite powerful. If they were thrown out like this, their health bars would definitely drop significantly.
As Xia Mo spoke, she took out the reserve pendant [Crown] while rolling in the air, instantly replenishing her health bar and magic. Heiyu Qingtian did not have her external plug-in, and his hand speed was a second slower. When he was about to drink the medicine, he had already fallen to the ground and died.
Seeing this scene, all the dead players took a deep breath, and their eyes and hopes were instantly focused on Xia Mo alone.
Xia Mo endured the pain of broken bones and got up from the ground. She only had 60 seconds left, and the Mantis Man still had 2.5% of his health left!
The situation was not good, but she knew that at this moment, she had to go on no matter how difficult it was!
[Use item [Longan Holy Water]]
[Longan Holy Water: A one-time item. Drinking it temporarily increases your spell/physical attack to 250% for 1 minute.]
At the last moment, I hope the item dropped by the Dark Dragon can help her succeed!
Turning on the icy blood acceleration, Xia Mo threw out a full set of attacks while running. With the bonus of props, her output reached an unprecedented peak value. Everyone looked at her output rising on the panel and were all dumbfounded.
There are 15 seconds left and Lao Wu still has 0.8% health.
According to the output after the bonus, there is not enough time!
Xia Mo frowned and continued to pull Lao Wu to run. This time she was lucky and had three critical hits in a row. Lao Wu's health dropped to 0.2% in an instant. Victory was at hand.
However, at this moment, the system suddenly told her that she did not have enough magic. Damn it, Xia Mo cursed inwardly, why did she have no mana at this time!
She clicked on the [Crown] as quickly as possible to refill the blue bar. However, because of this action, a full second of precious time was wasted!
It’s too late. In the last 3 seconds, the shield will reappear if there is no critical hit.
Her heart was pounding wildly. The people lying dead watching the fight were even more nervous than her. Everyone held their breath and dared not breathe, as if doing so could make time stand still.
Xia Mo's eyes were fixed on the two small monsters nearby that had not been killed by the explosion.
I was in a hurry to deal with Lao Wu just now, so I didn’t pay attention to these two guys. Now it’s time to let them make some sacrifices!
【Mark of the Dead! 】
[Active, can randomly mark 1-3 enemy monsters for your own use]
Boom boom, the three monsters turned around and attacked their commander, Lao Wu. After marking them, Xia Mo gripped her weapon again, aimed at Lao Wu, and released a skill that she didn't even know if it was her last skill before failure!
Bang!
0%
When a peak appeared on the shield, the Mantis Man fell to the ground with a thud.
The whole audience fell into silence, and then everyone stood up from the ground, with indescribable expressions of surprise on their faces. Cheers broke out, and the sound was like a heat wave, covering Xia Mo's eardrums with waves!
The system prompt also sounded at this time.
Congratulations to player "Mo Se" for completing the level 30 dungeon group [Scorching Abyss] for the first time. He is rewarded with 800 World Reputation and 1500 Gold. Let's cheer for them!
…
The supreme honor and halo belong to Qingyaozhishang at this moment, and even more to her.
