Chapter 546: Putting the Group Together
Although Poseidon was very famous and the Emperor also said a few dirty words to him, he still specifically kept [Handsome Guy] and asked him to stay in the dungeon together to protect the CD.
Because this guy was well-known for his daily battles of wits and courage with Lu Weiluo, and his escape methods were perfect. He demonstrated amazing extreme pulling and desperate escape techniques many times when fighting with the emperor, which made the emperor feel at ease to entrust the important task of maintaining CD to him.
The difficulty of the tasks for the two teams is actually very different.
Capturing Guixu's strange beasts was not difficult at all. It took less than an hour for everyone to catch dozens of them. They even took into account the taste preferences of the dungeon NPCs and specially picked different species and tied them into a long string.
The task of capturing the Nine Nether Demon is much more troublesome.
A group of high-level players with bursting self-confidence believed that ordinary low-level monsters were not sincere enough, so they decided to spend money to buy the CD of the "Endless Ruins" dungeon encountered by another large group. The BOSS encountered in the dungeon happened to be a monster that was not too difficult, but not low-level either.
Another large group was composed of members of Longshan Sheyi. They were purely doing daily tasks. The CD difficulty of the dungeon they encountered was just right, but when they heard that it was [Pig Advance], several of them wanted the CD, so they gave it up without saying a word, and even did not charge the transfer fee - this was the intention of the Longshan boss. Originally, everyone was an old player and saw each other every day. There was no point in being greedy on this. Doing a favor would make it easier for them to ask for help when they encountered problems in the future.
After getting the approval of the people from Longshan, Zhao Qing led everyone to temporarily withdraw from the group and formed a team slot vacated by Longshan. The people from Longshan even enthusiastically asked to come and help, and even used words like "It's a good thing that you people are dissatisfied, and we can also get some group rewards." Zhao Qing really couldn't refuse.
So, Zhao Qing became the commander of the new group, and led everyone to compete with the demon that was in a rampage state in the CD of this copy.
This demon is one that everyone is familiar with. If Wang Ergou were here, it would probably be even more powerful.
Because it is the Nine Nether Demon, the Demon that everyone encountered when they discovered the Shenyou Village.
This kind of demon likes cold and water, and loves cold and humid environments. It is good at mental interference and knows how to control the flow of water. It can also turn water into ice. It has been encountered in the [Cold Pond Cave] dungeon before. It always brings a lot of trouble to players - because if you are not careful, you will be frozen by it. It can be regarded as a monster with strong "hard control".
What's even more tricky is that this monster is much smarter than the ordinary Nine Nether Demon and can use tactics. Once a player encountered one in the [Cold Pond Cave] and was lured by it to the edge of the pond, where all members were controlled and wiped out!
The one in the dungeon CD opened by Longshan has average cultivation level, at most slightly stronger than the one in Shenyou Village. It can be said to have just touched the threshold of "true demon", but it is still not a true demon.
If you just want to kill it, that's easy. One person can kill it by throwing a few thunder talismans - demons are naturally afraid of thunder magic, and the damage from even the lowest level of thunder magic is enough to make them suffer.
But the problem is, what everyone wants is to make sure it is taken away alive!
Of course, the demon's mental attacks were just a tickle to the players and had no effect, but the fact that it knew how to control the water flow made it quite difficult for the players.
Even if you tie it up, it's hard to keep it still - this thing controls the water flow without using any casting skills or limbs, so just tying it up is useless!
"Easy, use this!"
Unexpectedly, the leader of Longshan laughed and took out a golden rope with a very obscene expression on his face.
Zhao Qing had sharp eyes and recognized the value of the thing in Captain Longshan's hand at a glance. She asked, "Is this... a magic weapon?"
Leader Longshan nodded and explained, "That's right! Our Boss Tong often does business with the Fu Lu Shou Chamber of Commerce. One time, he saw an NPC there using a magic weapon that was very similar to this one and thought it was very useful. So he spent a lot of money to ask Fu Lu Shou to help find a weapon refiner to refine two of them. He kept one for himself and gave the other one to us who placed the bet to use in turns!"
The Longshan member who looked like a leader next to him introduced: "This thing is amazing. Basically, anyone below the Nascent Soul stage can be tied up. It can be controlled for at least seven or eight hours without any problem - we haven't tested the specific limit time.
"The most important thing is that it has the effects of burning and sealing the soul. We often use it to control monsters, but the premise is that we have to get the position and timing right. To use this thing, you have to read the spell and get the position right. The boss won't stand still and let you trap him, so it won't be successful in one go.
"But we have used it many times and have experience. Although it has a mana bar limit, it is not a big problem for practitioners above the Jindan level. I think there are about four or five of them in the group, so the error tolerance rate is not low!"
Zhao Qing's originally surprised expression finally subsided a little, and he suddenly realized: since this thing requires spiritual power to use, it is not a magic weapon, but a spiritual tool in essence.
Although there is no absolute distinction between magic weapons and spiritual weapons, it is generally recognized that magic weapons are more advanced and have a lower threshold for use. For example, a Jindan stage weapon like this can only be used by a magic cultivator with a blue bar (spiritual power value), so it can only be regarded as a spiritual weapon.
These differences are actually only emphasized among the local cultivators in Guixu Realm, and the players are not very interested in them - after all, every player can practice Taoism, and everyone has a blue bar, so who cares about magic weapons or spiritual weapons?
So, since Longshan called it a magic weapon, Zhao Qing would definitely not be so low in EQ to refute it. She just praised it casually and handed over the command to Captain Longshan.
Just listen to whoever has experience!
On the contrary, the other high-level players were fascinated by this thing and asked about it one after another.
"Wow! Is this thing expensive? How much rice is it made of?"
"Can I ask the price?"
"Actually, a low-profile version is also fine. It doesn't require hard control for seven or eight hours. Just hard control for a few minutes can be very useful!"
"Maybe that would be a lot cheaper?"
"But it's a bit hard to bear that it doesn't work for those above the Nascent Soul stage. The monsters will surely become higher and higher in level in the future, so it won't be of much use, right?"
"As the monsters' levels get higher, their equipment will surely get better! Who knows, by then, the magic weapons we can make might even be able to control a Golden Immortal!"
The players' enthusiasm is understandable, because in "Ten Continents", there are really almost no "control skills".
If it was some kind of ice spirit root, he could practice some magic to "freeze" small monsters like the demon, and achieve a certain degree of hard control, but once facing a higher level monster, this kind of "control" would be completely ineffective! He might even be worse than the demon!
So when everyone heard that this magic weapon could be used for hard control, they all started asking about the price and purchasing channels.
