Chapter 56
Why jump up?
It's very simple, because she had been deliberately suppressing some of her output in the early stages.
I didn't press too hard, just enough to make sure the Paladin didn't overdo it.
The spider web of the Yellow Spotted Venomous Spider will first cover the two people with the highest output in the team, and the Nightmare Gaze of the Big Black Bug will also cover them. The damage of these two skills is quite large. Unless you are a pure tank warrior like Laughing Face Paralysis and Bobo Chicken, other fragile professions should not be easily hit, otherwise they will easily die.
Even though Xia Mo had some confidence in her defense, she didn't dare to take the only chance of her life in this game. Therefore, she and Qingshui suppressed their output throughout the whole game and did not surpass the two melee tanks in the team at all.
Until just now, Laughing Face Paralysis and Bobo Chicken were cursed at the same time, falling into a three-in-one debuff state, and the two ranged hunters Salad with Meat Sauce and Knife Hidden in the Crotch were also affected.
If she and Qingshui didn't launch a fierce attack at this time, the battle line would become longer and longer, which would only make the situation more disadvantageous.
So Xia Mo let go completely.
Single-target Star Shock, single-target continuous damage Starburst, group attack plus freezing Star Destruction, group attack Comet Storm! All available skills are unleashed with the swing of the weapon.
Boom boom boom! Various skills touched the slippery black bug, unleashing dazzling special effects, and densely packed damage popped up above its head.
"The second one is frozen, everyone use your ultimate skills! Huahua too, stop healing and switch to damage!"
Due to the strength of the Boss, Xia Mo used the Star Destruction skill with freezing effect seven or eight times before it froze the Boss once. Now that he finally froze the Boss, everyone immediately increased their speed and started to attack frantically!
After a fierce concentrated fire, the big black bug's health dropped visibly.
But that’s not enough!
The freezing time is only 3 seconds. Once the effect is lifted, the big black insect's body suddenly begins to spasm.
Xia Mo's eyes flashed. Oh no, they were going to launch a counterattack against them!
Qingshui also saw Lao Er's reaction and quickly ordered everyone to retreat.
However, he was still a little slow, especially Xiao Quanquan. He was an elementalist and his legs were a bit short. In addition, his equipment basically did not increase agility, which resulted in him being the first to be swept away the moment the tentacles stretched out from the black insect's body!
"Aaaah, I'm afraid of heights!"
The tentacle, which was thicker than an adult man's waist, lifted Little Fist high up and waved it angrily in the air. Every time it swung the tentacle, Little Fist let out a scream, and more than 1,000 damage popped out on his head at the same time.
If this trend continues, he will be dead within 10 hits.
Xia Mo thought about it and decided to go up and save people.
Although he might die when he beats the third brother, as long as there is one more person alive, there is more hope.
While she was thinking, she had already gone out with sparks and lightning.
During this time, a tentacle suddenly attacked her, trying to stop her rescue. Xia Mo instantly opened the ice body protection and blocked the tentacle directly outside the ice.
The tentacle missed and was forced to retract.
Taking advantage of this retraction, everyone saw that she pounced towards the tentacles like a reckless moth!
Xia Mo hugged the end of the tentacle, combined the strength of her waist and abdomen, and easily swung herself onto the tentacle. Without stopping, she stepped on the tentacle, stepped on it, and jumped up, instantly pouncing on the big tentacle that wrapped around her small fist!
Starlight!
Brilliant skills are released in mid-air.
The skill exploded, causing a lot of blood to the big tentacle, but unfortunately the freezing effect still did not appear. Xia Mo had no choice but to jump onto the big tentacle, lightly wipe the weapon on the tentacle, turn around and jump onto the experimental table, and landed safely.
【Poisoning successful! 】
This is the prompt when the enchantment [Enhanced Mutated Bear Bile] takes effect, which can poison the enemy.
However, there are certain restrictions on its use.
First, poisoning must be done at close range. If you use it with a ranged skill like a Star Officer, you'll get a warning that it's invalid. Xia Mo had wanted to poison the enemy back when he was fighting the first boss, but he received the warning above and had to give up.
Secondly, the CD time (Cool Down, referring to the cooling time) is extremely long. It must be cooled down for a full hour after each use before the bear bile can secrete enough toxin again.
There are many limitations, but the advantage is that the effect is excellent.
After receiving the notification that the poisoning was successful, the large tentacle under it quickly fell into a poisoned state, losing blood at a rate of 100 points per second and being forced to stop moving and attacking for 2 rounds.
This is simply divine help!
Xia Mo quickly used another skill, and this time the tentacles loosened, and small fists fell from them, knocking out another 300 points of blood.
Fortunately, Latiao Xiaohuahua was very powerful and gave him several blood recovery skills in a row. Finally, his blood volume returned to the safe line and Xiao Quanquan was saved!
The next period of time was to constantly move back and forth with the tentacles emerging from the black insects' bodies and eliminate them one by one.
There are not many tentacles, only 6 in total. However, because they only have 3 outputs now, theoretically one person is responsible for 2, which is quite stressful.
And under this already considerable pressure, Xiao Quanquan made frequent mistakes and was almost beaten into a meat patty by the tentacles several times.
It was too dangerous for him to handle two tentacles alone. Seeing this, Xia Mo simply went around and led one of the tentacle back to him.
Inside the glass container, except for the one with the salad and meat sauce who had witnessed how powerful her operation was, he could barely maintain his expression at this moment, while the other three people were stunned.
It is already very difficult to deal with two tentacles. You should know that there is no pattern when those tentacles swing. Sometimes they rush out from the left, and sometimes they go around from the back to attack. Players are trapped in it and can only dodge by instant reaction.
And you can't give up output during the dodging process, otherwise what's the point of just dodging without fighting?
Just like that, several people were already frightened by the laughter. Who could have thought that Mo Se would actually pull out another tentacle?
Several people were so nervous that they dared not breathe. They all stared at her intently, fearing that if they failed to dodge in time in the next second, the tentacles would suck out thousands of points of blood.
However, it turned out that they were worrying too much.
The three tentacles swung fiercely, but none of them hit the target. Every time before they were about to fall, the target person Xia Mo could always step on the spot to avoid them.
Once or twice, it can be said to be accidental, but if it happens every time, it only shows that her on-the-spot reaction and judgment are really strong!
High skill output can be enhanced by adding points, equipment, and talent points, but operation and positioning are not easily learned by ordinary people.
Looking at her lightning-fast figure, even the highly agile hunter with a knife hidden in his crotch couldn't help but exclaim in amazement again and again.
"Everyone says that Xingguan has short legs, can't run fast, and can only stand still and deal damage. I think that's because they have never seen Mo Se."
If they witnessed it once, they would know that occupation was never a limitation. The real limitation was their strength.
When the 15 minutes were up, the four people trapped in the glass container roared and rushed to the battlefield.
The pressure of the battlefield was shared, Xiao Quanquan breathed a sigh of relief, and the treatment pressure on La Tiao Xiao Huahua's shoulders was also reduced a lot.
The eight people worked together, and after an hour, the second one was successfully brought down.
Among the things that dropped this round, there is equipment that Xia Mo can use, a pair of boots. It's a pity that she is currently wearing the dragon boots obtained by spawning a dragon. If she changes them, the bonus of the suit will be gone.
After thinking about it, he decided it wasn't worth it, so he still didn't take anything and gave the boots to Xiao Quanquan, who could also wear them as an elementalist.
Seeing that after two rounds, she had nothing, everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Xia Mo smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
They spent more than twenty minutes killing monsters in the middle. When they turned a corner in a passage that smelled of rust and mildew, the third one appeared in front of them.
The third one is a giant owl that failed in an experiment. Just standing there, it is four or five meters tall, not to mention that after spreading its wings, its horizontal width is more than ten meters, which is terrifyingly large.
Of course, being big is nothing. The hardest part of this stage is that you need to eliminate the baby birds that are about to hatch one by one.
This timing is extremely difficult to grasp. Attack too early, and the chicks haven't hatched yet. Not only will your attack be in vain, but it will also provoke the Third Boss's furious counterattack, instantly wiping out the entire group. Attack too late, and the chicks will emerge successfully. With a single flap of their wings, they'll instantly grow into new monsters, becoming the Third Boss's right-hand man, putting immense pressure on players!
What’s even more amazing is that there are a total of 8 such eggs in the bird’s nest, which means they have to succeed 8 times in a row.
If they fail even once, their entire team will be wiped out.
How to say it, when Xia Mo saw this giant owl, he was already prepared to destroy the team.
It's not that she doesn't have confidence in herself, but this is a task that requires a high degree of teamwork. Although the people in Team 1 are obedient and follow instructions, they all have their own shortcomings in individual aspects.
For example, Latiao Xiaohuahua, her blood recovery is acceptable, but it is limited to single-target blood recovery. Once it comes to group treatment, her blood recovery is much lower, and it consumes a lot of her mana.
This means that the entire team cannot have multiple people injured at the same time, otherwise she will not be able to take care of them all. Of course, considering this, Qingshui will step up and make up for this shortcoming.
Paladin Laughing Faceless and Warrior Bobo Chicken are both decent in every aspect, but neither is outstanding. They can fight monsters and resist damage, but the damage they deal is average, and the damage they can withstand can't be too high, otherwise they will still lose health.
I won’t say much about the others, they all have some flaws anyway.
Judging from the overall situation, Xia Mo really didn't expect to succeed on the first try.
In fact, they were all G within ten minutes of rushing out.
The giant owl flapped its wings violently, and a shadowy whirlwind blew over, blowing three people into the gas tank next to the laboratory, killing them instantly.
Then a hellish storm rolled up on the ground, which kept spinning and moving on the ground. People who ran slowly would be sucked into it and stop moving for 8 seconds.
In 8 seconds, the few ranged players could not withstand the giant owl's series of claws and beak attacks, and then they died in the second wave.
Finally, it is the turn of black clouds to press in. The black clouds move in the sky and also disperse at the same time. If the player accidentally steps into the area covered by the black clouds, his health will drop rapidly.
Finally, Xia Mo saw the timer above her head. It was 9 minutes and 34 seconds, and she was the only one left in the team of 8.
In this situation, Xia Mo would not be stupid enough to die, so he could only sigh and say, "I'll quit first, and we'll discuss it after I get out," and then he took the initiative to leave the copy.
She voluntarily quit the copy and will not be punished, but the other seven people who died in the copy will be in trouble.
If you die in a dungeon, your experience points and coins will also be deducted. If you are unlucky, even some of the items in your backpack will be lost.
I laughed until my face was paralyzed, standing outside the dungeon aperture, looking at the experience points that were deducted before I even earned them. I clutched my chest in pain and said, "I can't take it anymore. I feel dizzy after losing so much experience points..."
Bobo Chicken also covered his face and shook his head: "My coins, I have to go on another mission now."
Everyone cried and told about their miserable situation, except Xia Mo.
As the only person in the team who was forced to come out alive, she was now the envy of everyone!
"Are you still going?"
Seeing everyone howling and yelling, Xia Mo asked everyone at the right time.
The one who was laughing so hard his face was paralyzed was the first to stand up: "Keep going! Why not? We are only one step away from success, I can't bear to give up!"
"Yes, and there is no news of the first kill in the world yet, which means we still have a chance." Latiao Xiaohuahua stepped forward with a determined look on his face.
Others followed suit and expressed their intentions to continue the challenge.
Very good, Xia Mo raised the corners of his mouth with relief. Isn’t this the belief that is needed to play games?
Failure is not scary, what is scary is that you can never get up again after failure.
She smiled softly, looked at everyone, and finally her eyes fell on Qingshui: "Let's reopen it."
