Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 762: Pre-war investigation

"So what should we do now?"

Iyas asked,

"That S-ranked adventure group called Wild Fighters, it should be impossible to cooperate with them, right?"

"That's not necessarily the case. If we can confirm the other party's character, then there is a possibility of cooperation."

Having said that, Yang Yu still hopes that both sides will start fighting without saying anything.

This way you can also see if the S-level adventure group tag has any experience bonus.

Unfortunately, if he really let them get involved, Yang Yu didn’t know what would happen.

What if they accidentally steal my experience

“To be on the safe side, let us open up this layer.

I want to see how strong you are now so that I can make future plans.”

Yang Yu extended his index finger and pointed at the door standing on the black ground.

"Bai Jin, use the most powerful explosion magic to destroy the entrance."

After receiving Yang Yu's order, Bai Jin raised his wand.

Countless magical powers gradually gathered towards the top of the magic wand along the tangled roots, and gathered into the fiery red magic circle woven by Bai Jin, condensing into a blazing flame spear.

Bai Jin swung the magic wand forward, and the scorching flame spear bombarded the entrance to the ninth floor, causing a violent explosion.

Yellow electric current flashed at the entrance, and the outline of a black square stone slab became clearer and clearer in the eyes of Yang Yu and others.

The stairs at the entrance became a pattern on the stone slab, crooked and twisted, like an old TV that is about to break down but is still struggling to hold on.

However, with a beep, this "TV" suddenly crashed.

There was only a black slab of stone left on the ground.

The stone slab was shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground in Bai Jin's subsequent attack.

This floor has lost the only bridge connecting it to the upper floor.

"This way, we don't have to worry about the [Wild Fighter] coming to disturb us."

"But we can't get out." Lotkar raised his head slightly and looked at Yang Yu, "Since the only exit has been destroyed, it means that General, you are confident that you can conquer this maze, right?"

"At least judging from the enemy's strength, we are sure of that."

Yang Yu looked up and saw the sky was pitch black, as if an abyss was upside down above his head, with no bottom in sight.

This underground maze is far more magical than I had imagined.

At least the destroyed stone slab was the smoothest transmission device Yang Yu had ever seen.

Bai Jin didn't seem to sense any fluctuations of magical power.

“It’s just my personal speculation.

If you want to conquer the ninth floor, you can either spend time bit by bit and kill the fighting mud giants one by one;

Or, have absolute confidence in your own strength and believe that you can make it through.

The existence of the door leading to the upper level will only affect the mood of combat.

Well, whether it makes people feel better or worse depends on the individual.

I actually think it would be better to leave a retreat route, but if you want to conquer this maze, the door will definitely be destroyed.

Destroying the door also represents my determination."

"Yeah."

Lotkar turned his eyes and looked at the giants fighting not far from him.

"The underground maze will be refreshed. Even if our strategy fails, we just need to wait for a month and a half, and the gate leading to the upper part will still open to us."

“A little confidence in our strength.

Besides, we can’t keep working like machines for a month and a half…”

Yang Yu climbed onto Lotkar's back.

"If possible, the situation will definitely change in a month and a half.

—'The sooner it is resolved, the better'

Even though I want to say this, the most important thing is to protect yourself.”

Yang Yu put his hands in the shape of a photo frame, looked around, and confirmed the position of each group of mud giants again.

Afterwards, Yang Yu began his experiments on the mud giant.

For example, Yang Yu asked Bai Jin to continuously bombard the clay figures with magic to see if the clay figures were designed to defend against continuous long-range attacks.

The result was as expected.

Continuous ranged attacks will add a layer of protection called [Hold] to the mud giant after a period of time, which will continuously reduce subsequent ranged damage.

After a period of time, it can even reduce the damage of the Mud Giant by 99%.

If the mud giant is not attacked, the number of layers of [Defense] will gradually decrease, but the speed of decrease is extremely touching.

There is a way to instantly reduce the number of layers provided by the [Hold] state.

Those who enter a defensive state will cause a certain amount of damage to the enemy in front of them.

It seems that this ninth level is trying every means to make those who choose to defeat them one by one spend more time in the maze and wear down their will.

In addition, the system also provides other ways to break [Sticking].

For example, if your strength is twice that of an enemy in [Defense] state, or five times that of the enemy's defense, you can ignore the opponent's state and perform to your heart's content.

In other words, only three thousand forces are needed.

Oh my god.

Using force to crush something is just something you can do in your dreams.

Think whatever you want in your dreams.

After completing various experiments, Yang Yu once again boarded Lotkar to confirm the distribution of the giants.

In this space, there are a total of sixty pairs of mud giants, one hundred and twenty people.

It would take half a day to disrupt the mud giants and make them hit each other on the head, thus knocking them down.

It would take at least ten days or half a month to conquer sixty groups of giants.

I don’t know if these mud giants will still have the [persistent] state after they move.

After confirming the general characteristics of the mud giant, Yang Yu finalized the basic combat strategy.

There is still a war outside, and it is impossible for Yang Yu and his men to wait for the mud giants to finish fighting each other.

Yang Yu decided to summon all the giants, gather them together, use high mobility to keep a distance from the mud giants, pull them, and then use area-of-effect killing magic to deplete the mud giants' health, and finally defeat them one by one.

The key to this operation is Bai Jin and Lothcar. Lothcar provides a lot of mobility, and Bai Jin provides a lot of AOE damage.

The rest of the people are just tools, and their only job is to protect Bai Jin and Lothkar as much as possible.

Next, we need to study the route to pull the monsters.

Normally, after a monster points its spear at the enemy, it will inevitably approach at the shortest distance possible.

Yang Yu took out the blueprint, drew the approximate location of each group of giants, imagined the paths they might move, and drew variable conservative paths.

After making all the plans, a day has passed.

During this period, Yang Yu used the rules of the maze to knock down a group of mud giants, reducing the number of enemies he would face later.

After a delicious meal, Yang Yu and his companions stayed where they were and had a good sleep.

Once this battle begins, no one knows how long it will take to stop.

You need to keep your spirits up to catch all these mud giants in one fell swoop.
