The declaration of war from Beiming City was issued at 4:05 pm, so just pick it up before 10:05 pm.
After Xia Yao led the team out of Storm Canyon, she asked everyone, "Are you all online at 10 o'clock tonight?"
He scanned each person in turn, from Wushan Leng to Little Frog to Yunyan, and everyone nodded firmly.
Except mathematics, physics and chemistry.
"I'm sorry, President. I still have two reports to write. I'm afraid tonight..." He glanced to the side and suddenly met Zhang Bu's eyes.
The latter was quite helpless and shook his head: "I told you to finish your homework earlier. Look, you are busy now."
After saying that, she turned to Xia Yao and explained on behalf of her boyfriend, "Sister, he's usually busy with his studies. How about he not attend tonight?"
"Okay, it's okay, just take care of your own things first." She nodded slightly.
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry thanked him happily and quickly logged off.
The others dispersed on the spot. According to Xia Yao, they could do whatever they wanted before 10 o'clock, whether it was leveling up on their own or resting up, she would not interfere. In short, she wanted to see everyone gathered in the guild at 10 o'clock.
After giving these instructions, Xia Yao set off for another place - Plague City.
At this time, countless players were still crowding at the city gate. They were all here to play dungeons, but Xia Yao was not one of them. She did not talk to the dungeon NPCs, but walked through the city gate and ran straight into the city.
Without the fog in the dungeon, the streets and buildings in the city became crystal clear, and even the spires of the dark and depressing towers in the distance could be seen.
The address given for the tower sweeping mission is there.
Xia Yao stepped into the barbed wire and saw the surrounding environment suddenly changed. The fog that only appeared in the copy quickly surged up again.
Dark, damp and uncomfortable.
A gray-black shadow slowly walked out of the fog. He had a cloak on his head and his face was slightly tilted downwards. Xia Yao couldn't see his entire face and could only tell that he was smiling at her by the upturned corners of his mouth.
"You're here," the cloaked man said. "I thought you would refuse my mission invitation."
To be honest, she did want to refuse at first, but the explanation given in the task details made her very tempted.
There are eight levels of tower sweeping tasks. For each level you clear, you can get a skill reward from the task initiator. Who wouldn’t want to take on such a task?
Xia Yao remained calm and just nodded slightly, acknowledging that she had accepted his task.
The cloaked man grinned and chuckled twice. "Come on, prove your strength to me. If you can climb all the levels of the tower today, I will teach you all my skills one by one."
The cloaked man was the hidden profession, the Exorcist Poet, that she had unlocked in the dungeon. His ID was temporarily invisible. Xia Yao withdrew her gaze from above his head, and then walked into the tower without looking back.
The first floor of the tower.
The monsters smelled the human scent, woke up from their original positions, and came towards her to bite.
It was not difficult to deal with monsters of this level. Xia Yao quickly eliminated all the monsters and obtained a 1,000-point experience reward.
This little bit of experience was insignificant to her who was already level 21. The most important thing was that she wanted to see what skills the other party would give her.
[Obtain the Exorcist Poet's exclusive skill [Chaos Chant]]
[Chaos Chant: Consumes 15 mana points, paralyzes the target for 3 seconds due to mental confusion, and restores 8% of the caster's health. Cooldown time is 15 seconds.]
A skill that can restore health and save lives is quite important. Xia Yao accepted it and walked up the stairs to the second floor.
In a blink of an eye, the scene changed, and the elite monster on the second floor rushed towards her.
Elite monsters have higher attributes in all aspects than demons, so it took her a little more effort to deal with them this time.
Fortunately, there is no time limit for the tower-clearing mission, and the space inside the tower is much larger than it looks from the outside. By pulling monsters and moving around, she patiently killed the elite monsters one by one, and the whole process took half an hour.
[Obtain the Exorcist Poet's exclusive skill [Soul Drain]]
[Soul Drain: Consumes 15 mana points. Each time, a certain amount of soul fragments can be absorbed from the target, and 20%-50% random damage is caused to the opponent. No cooldown time.]
It is a prerequisite skill and needs to be used in conjunction with other skills.
After completing the second level, the voice of the cloaked man suddenly floated in from above.
"Good, let's go to the third floor."
Maybe she was being too sensitive, but Xia Yao caught the slightly rising tone in the cloaked man's voice at the end of his words, as if he showed a hint of interest in her.
Entering the third floor, Xia Yao discovered that all her equipment and weapons were gone, leaving only her original suit, linen clothes and straw sandals.
In the center of the third floor, a mechanical beast was lying quietly.
It seems that she has to fight the other party with bare hands.
Xia Yao narrowed her eyes, walked around behind the mechanical beast, and was trying to find its weakness when the mechanical beast suddenly opened its eyes, turned around and stared at her fiercely.
Its long tail suddenly split into three metal hooks, connected by a steel rope as thick as an index finger. Like a flexible sea snake, it attacked her face!
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and took a big step back in time.
However, without the agility bonus of the equipment, Xia Yao clearly felt that her whole body movements slowed down by several percent. The hook just grazed her cheek, leaving a bloody mark on each side of her face.
Then the mechanical beast stood up from the ground. A light flashed in its pupils, the armor on its back stood up, and a hidden weapon suddenly flew out.
She hurriedly ran to the side, and heard a clanging sound behind her. It was the sound of hidden weapons piercing the ground. If she had been a step slower, she would probably have been pierced into a sieve.
The first round of hidden weapon attacks ended, and the light in the mechanical beast's eyes temporarily went out.
Now is the time!
Xia Yao stopped and ran back. The ground was covered with blades, some of which were not deeply stabbed. She bent down and collected a wave of them, holding them in her left and right hands.
At this time, the mechanical beast had caught up with her and swung the hook on its tail towards her. Xia Yao dodged left and right, and her shoulders and arms were inevitably attacked.
After crouching down, he stepped firmly on the hook that was swinging towards him, used it as a fulcrum to leap forward, and landed on the back of the mechanical beast with a clang.
The armor on his back trembled slightly, and it seemed as if he was about to launch a second round of hidden weapon attacks.
But Xia Yao didn't give it a chance. She ran to the mechanical beast's head on its back and stabbed it into its right eye with a blade in hand!
With a bang, his right eye split open.
The mechanical beast shook its head in pain. Xia Yao leaned over and hugged it tightly, then found another opportunity to stab its left eye.
There was another crisp explosion.
The mechanical beast's eyes were completely destroyed.
It whined angrily, but Xia Yao curled her lips, jumped off it and ran away.
Unable to see her presence, the mechanical beast had no way of attacking accurately and could only rage helplessly like a headless fly. After six rounds, its armor could no longer shoot out hidden weapons, leaving only the hook on its tail swinging back and forth in despair.
Good things come to those who wait patiently. Xia Yao waited for the opportunity, walked forward quietly, and stabbed the blade in her hand into the legs, jaw and abdomen of the mechanical beast again and again.
The mechanical beast was assembled from parts, and its body's operation depended entirely on the coordination between the gears. However, as Xia Yao inserted the blade into the gaps between the gears, the mechanical beast's movements gradually became incoherent.
After 40 minutes, its body was covered with blades, as if it had been cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
With a loud bang, the mechanical beast fell to the ground and never got up again.
[Obtain the Exorcist Poet's exclusive skill [Soul Corrosion]]
[Soul Corrosion: Consumes 0.5 souls and 50 mana points, deals 150% damage to a single target, no cooldown]
This is the purpose of the prerequisite skill [Soul Absorption]. By absorbing the soul fragments from the target, you accumulate soul layers for yourself, thereby supporting the release of subsequent skills.
Perhaps not expecting her to pass the third level empty-handed, the cloaked figure paused and said, "Very good. Do you want to continue? Or stop here?"
"Go on." She breathed softly and immediately climbed up to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor was like a furnace. As soon as people entered, they felt the hot gas blowing in their faces. The heat waves rolled over their skin, and the next second they got the burn debuff.
A banshee with flames all over her body stared at her, screamed, and attacked her with her claws raised.
She still had no equipment or weapons on this level, but with the experience from the third level, Xia Yao raised her leg and was about to run to the other side.
Unexpectedly, this debuff caused severe pain in the soles of her feet, and every step she took felt like she was stepping on a mountain of knives.
She slowed down for half a second.
Both shoulders were instantly pierced by the banshee's long and sharp nails!
Two bloody holes were revealed. Xia Yao looked down at her shoulder and suddenly sneered.
The banshee didn't know why she was laughing. She just felt that the prey was in her hands and victory was about to belong to her, so she raised her arms again and stabbed the person in front of her.
However, with a click, the banshee heard something.
She was stunned for a moment and didn't react until she felt a heart-wrenching pain in her fingertips and realized that her nails were broken!
The person who broke her nails was now standing in front of her with a displeased look on his face.
Xia Yao lowered her head and glanced at her palm. The palm that was holding the banshee's nails was already bloody.
She didn't dodge just now, but faced the banshee's flames and blocked the attack directly. The fire burned her palms, arms and chest in an instant, and she was severely burned.
But the good thing is that the banshee's nails were tightly grasped by her and broken. Without the nails, the banshee's attack power was directly reduced by half.
The banshee screamed madly, and flames suddenly burst out from her body. The temperature in the whole place rose again. Every time Xia Yao took a breath, she felt that her internal organs in her chest were about to melt.
Hold on, don't give up, she warned herself through gritted teeth.
Then he endured the piercing pain, strode forward, passed through the scorching flames, and hugged the banshee together!
She pressed the banshee under her body and punched her again and again!
The flames enveloped her, burning rapidly throughout her body.
Her long black hair turned to ashes bit by bit behind her, and her clothes didn't have time to melt and instantly stuck to her skin.
Xia Yao could no longer feel anything. There was only a faint screaming in her ears. There was no pain when her fists hit the banshee. It was as if her soul had been separated from her body.
I don't know how long the flames burned on my body.
Until the last moment, she looked down in a daze. The banshee's face had been completely smashed by her, and the flames were also retreating. She staggered to her feet and raised the corners of her mouth in triumph.
She still had to go to the fifth floor. This thought remained vague in Xia Yao's mind. She tried hard to control her body and staggered forward. However, she saw the world turning upside down in front of her eyes, and with a plop, she fell into a pool of blood like a puddle of mud.
at the same time.
[Obtain the Exorcist Poet's exclusive skill [Soul Burning]]
[Soul Burning: Consumes 1 soul and 50 mana points, deals 125% damage to all targets, lasts 5 seconds, cooldown time 30 seconds]
...Ah, it's a group attack skill...
Xia Yao struggled to open her eyelids, and glanced at the reminder with her dying breath...
When she woke up, there were no flames or banshees on the fourth floor, only ordinary tower decorations.
"You're awake. Do you still want to challenge?" The cloaked man's voice poured down again.
Xia Yao lay on the ground, feeling the burning sensation of the remaining flames on her body, then raised her eyes and uttered two words: "Challenge."
The fifth floor opened for her.
But I found that there was a problem with the height of my field of view.
She seemed to have become much shorter.
This makes the monster in front look even taller.
But she doesn't care about all this. As long as she is still alive, she will never give up!
Thinking this way, Xia Yao crawled over inch by inch...
Wait! Climb?
Xia Yao's heart trembled slightly, and she suddenly realized something. She turned her eyes and looked to her sides and behind her.
There are no arms, no legs, and no torso.
Her pupils widened and she turned into a pool of rotten flesh!
No, it should not be said that she turned into, but she was burned into this state when she was fighting the banshee on the fourth floor!
It seems that the state of the next layer will be brought to the previous layer.
Although Xia Yao was surprised for a moment, she quickly regained her composure.
By then the Minotaur had already discovered her, and his heavy steps on the ground caused her body to tremble.
Now that she has no limbs, she can't fight like a normal person.
But she still has facial features, her eyes can move and her mouth can open.
A thought flashed through his mind, and then he smiled to himself, controlling his body to swim over like a snake!
At that time, outside the Plague City, Bei Ming, the president of Bei Ming City, repeatedly refreshed the word "Yin Yao", but found that the other party's status was always displayed as "uncontactable".
The status in the game is either online or offline, how can there be no contact?
Bei Ming, who had never encountered such a situation before, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Yuan Qinglan disagreed and sneered, "Brother, if you ask me, she must be scared, so she just found a place to hide."
Otherwise, why would he disappear like a turtle right after issuing the challenge?
That's right, there are 120 people in the Beiming City, and how many Swords and Roses are there? 11?
It's so funny. With so many heads, no normal person would dare to fight.
