After taking a day's rest with his companions, Yang Yu was ready to go. He placed the five treasure chests in front of Iyas and asked her to open them.
Waves of golden light flashed by, and Iyas did not disappoint Yang Yu. The epic equipment that once required traveling through mountains and rivers to obtain was now free of charge. Just open the treasure chest and click to get it.
Along with the epic equipment, there are also various rare and precious materials and strange props, which are neatly placed on thick pages and skill scrolls.
Yang Yu gained a lot from conquering the eighth floor.
The scenery on the eighth floor was beyond Yang Yu's expectations. He had no way of predicting what kind of test he would encounter on the ninth floor.
But, he couldn't wait to conquer the ninth floor.
The more you gain from this underground maze, the more confident you will be when facing the Demon King in the future.
Yang Yu and his companions raised their hands and placed them on the ball.
The sphere emitted a gentle light, absorbing Yang Yu and his group and sending them to the ninth floor.
The ninth floor is a huge chessboard. White lines cut the green ground into squares. Some squares are deeply sunken to form gullies, while some are raised high to form rockery, constructing an extremely complex environment on the chessboard.
Huge chess pieces are scattered randomly on the squares of the chessboard.
The chess pieces are divided into black and white, white represents angels and black represents demons. Each chess piece has a different style, depicting characters from different camps.
Each of the figures stood on a square platform more than two meters high, making their already majestic bodies even taller.
Approaching the chess pieces, Yang Yu and his friends could see that on the square platform where the chess pieces stood, the movement methods and abilities of the chess pieces were written.
A very familiar demon chess piece suddenly caught Yang Yu's eye:
[Mal Bus]
Movement method: one to ten grids.
Chess Piece Attributes: HP: 755/755, Mana: 65/65, HP recovery 20/round, Mana recovery 3/round
Strength 55, Defense 45, Magic 35, Special Defense 45
Skill:
Passive [Giant Chariot] - This piece occupies four grid positions and can cause damage to enemies within two grids at the same time, but it consumes 1 MP for each enemy attacked.
Active [Range Bombing] - Causes 150% physical damage to enemies within three grids of itself, destroys 50% of the enemy's armor, consumes 20 MP, and has a cooldown of three turns.
Active [Concentrated Shooting] - Launch a crazy attack on an enemy within the attack range, causing 300% physical damage of strength, destroying 70% of the enemy's armor, consuming 30 MP, and cooling down for three rounds.]
Seeing the words written on the square, Yang Yu could quickly determine that the ninth level was a war chess game.
The Battle Flag game requires players to play the role of commander and drag chess pieces to fight. Since it is turn-based, the player's strategy and overall view will directly affect the outcome of the battle.
Yang Yu immediately asked his partner to copy down the words on the chess piece pedestal, and he used [Climb] to climb along the wall to record the map of the battle flags and the distribution of chess pieces to facilitate strategy formulation.
With Bai Jin, who can use magic, Yang Yu got the information of all the chess pieces when he came down from the ceiling.
There are 16 demon chess pieces and 12 angel chess pieces on the field. In terms of numbers alone, the demons have the upper hand.
However, each skill of the angel chess piece is quite tricky.
Take the chess piece [Gabriel] for example. This angel chess piece not only has an ultra-long range of five squares, but also has a super passive that increases damage by 10% every attack round. In addition, she also has a bug skill that allows the chess piece to be resurrected after five rounds by consuming 20MP after the death of a friendly chess piece.
The overall attributes and skills of demons are not bad compared to those of angels, they are just a bunch of sewers.
According to the nature of this underground maze, the ninth level should be to hold the devil and defeat the angel.
Such a complicated battle flag cannot be completed in a day or two. If one step is wrong, all steps may go wrong.
What's more, Yang Yu needs to test some detailed issues.
For example, the devil has four different pieces that can reduce defense, but the ways of reducing defense are different. How do they interact with each other? Can they reduce the opponent's armor to a negative number
In addition, there are also calculation methods for damage, how attacks perform when encountering terrain, whether there are any special easter eggs, how chess pieces move, how skills are released, etc.
These things will affect decision-making to a certain extent.
A lot of information is not written on the pedestal of the chess piece, and players need to explore it one by one.
If you want to fight well, some knowledge is essential.
Fortunately, when Yang Yu was drawing the map, he saw the [Reset] button on the spherical block leading to the tenth floor.
This means that if they are faced with a losing situation, they can reset all the pieces and start over.
With the opportunity to trial and error, Yang Yu began testing.
The first thing is the movement of the chess pieces. Just as Yang Yu thought, they can only move the devil chess pieces and not the angel chess pieces.
You can move a chess piece by pushing or pulling it in the direction you want to move it. It should be noted that you can only move one chess piece per round. Once your hand leaves the chess piece, the round will be considered over.
When turning, the hand must also touch the chess piece, otherwise it will be judged as the move ends.
In addition, if a chess piece occupies multiple squares when you release your hand, the chess piece will actively move to the square it occupies more.
Taking advantage of this can save a lot of energy.
Next is the issue of chess piece attacks and releasing skills.
When a chess piece attacks someone within its attack range, it will automatically attack at the end of each round, and the attack time is as long as ten seconds. If you want a chess piece to release a skill, you need to inject magic power into the chess piece you want to release a skill before moving it.
I figured out everything I wanted to know, and several days had passed by unknowingly.
Yang Yu pressed the reset button again, and all the moved and destroyed chess pieces returned to their original positions.
In the past few days, Yang Yu sent people to travel between various levels to check the refresh status of each level.
To Yang Yu's surprise, when Iyas and the others went up to take a look, they found that the underground maze that they had originally conquered had respawned monsters. Even the seventh floor that they had just conquered had monsters refreshed!
Perhaps because Yang Yu had conquered the levels and completed the storyline, the levels and attributes of the monsters refreshed in each level were lower than when Yang Yu and his team first conquered them, so Iyas and his team, who had mastered the skills, could easily deal with them.
Logically speaking, the underground maze shouldn't refresh so quickly. Could it be that after passing the lower levels, the upper levels will automatically refresh
Upon hearing the news, Yang Yu, who was attacking the [Hall of History], decided to split his forces into two groups.
It is enough to leave the strategy for the ninth floor to him and Bai Jin, and the rest of the people can go to conquer the refreshed underground maze, improve their levels and collect book pages.
