The wind in the room was getting stronger and stronger. The number of people remaining in the task bar was gradually decreasing, from 50 to 40. The four people in the room were separated. As the attack accelerated, their range control skills became more and more difficult. The summoner's opinion immediately became the team's top priority. Just blocking the hole, does this mean that this garbage thing can't get out of the collapsed bed? !
Qingfeng understood: "This is good! If we block it, it won't be able to come out!"
"Blocked? How?" Hong Guoguo saw hope, but felt that this operation was a bit far-fetched: "Our position is too difficult, and we can't see the skill effects when we are blinded, so we can't tell when our teammates' skills will end."
It is definitely not enough to rely on one person's skills for continuous control. Without being able to see, you can't see the skill effects, nor can you see the time when the skill effects take effect on the enemy monster. In the final analysis, they have been fighting blindly so far.
Su Mo naturally considered this reason.
The summoner has a lot of control skills, but few strong control skills that can have a restrictive effect. For example, the lone wolf's stun, the bear's taunt, and the fox's charm hypnosis are all directional strong control skills, which are completely unusable now. At present, the only ones he can use are confusion and slow, but these two are soft control after all. They can only be used as transition skills to slow down the attack, buy time to avoid skills or counterattack, but cannot completely freeze the monster in place.
Therefore, if one wants to trap the monster inside, his skills can only serve as a transition, and the main method is to rely on other people's skill cycles.
"The array master has three range control abilities: stun, immobilize, and fear. Stun lasts for 3 seconds, immobilize lasts for 4 seconds, and fear lasts for 3 seconds. Except for immobilize, which lasts for 15 seconds, the CD of both abilities is 12 seconds." Su Mo dodged the skills while continuing, "The healer's dream flower has a group hypnotic effect. It hypnotizes for 4 seconds and has a CD of 10 seconds. The physical swordsman has stun and knockback, and the CD is also around 12 seconds."
"Xingzhi 10 seconds, Hongguoguo 4 seconds, Qingfeng 8 seconds, Liankong 22 seconds, the skill CD can definitely keep up."
Yu Zhen calculated all the CD times after hearing what he said, and indeed it could be fully connected as he said. He said, "But this skill cycle is too tight and has a low error tolerance."
The tolerance rate is low, and if one person makes a mistake, the whole group will pay the price.
Moreover, they were too close to the cave-in, so the attack would only be more severe.
"I'm responsible for listening." Su Mo corrected him in time, "Once your skill cycle is interrupted, I will use slowing to buy time. The physical sword skill has knockback, and the knockback is enough to make up for the displacement caused by slowing."
Yu Zhen asked: "There are 2 hours and 13 minutes left, are you sure?"
"It's just commanding and listening to the sound to determine the position." Su Mo said simply: "I have a high mental strength, don't worry."
Yu Zhen was surprised by the summoner. In such a chaotic environment, more people would think about how to avoid skills to the greatest advantage, but the summoner's idea was different from others. This person was very calm, so calm that in an emergency he could clearly recall the layout of the room, calculate the best path, and solve the problem from the root.
It is bold and risky enough, but it is the most effective solution. Once successful, it will be a permanent solution.
"The bed beam is not broken yet. According to your judgment, its length facing us is about 2 meters. We should cast the spell in the middle, right?" Yu Zhen took the initiative to take over some of the work. "I will judge the casting distance. I will take over the first cycle. 10 seconds is enough time for you to find the correct position."
Su Mo also agreed that the formation master was a very reliable teammate who dared to take the lead in almost all extreme operations.
He then reminded, "From the attack just now, I roughly calculated its attack frequency. In the first 10 minutes, it was once every 5 seconds, and in the last 10 minutes, it is once every 3 seconds. Its attack frequency will change, but every 5 minutes it will retreat back into the cave-in and stop attacking for 3 seconds."
Yu Zhen was surprised. He didn't expect that the summoner even remembered the attack frequency, so he asked: "Okay, when is the next time point?"
Su Mo said: "2 hours and 10 minutes, we still have 2 minutes to adjust."
Hong Guoguo and Qingfeng were both stunned. These two were discussing the skill cycle and chain control, and they were so precise about the skill time and breathing time. For so many seconds, they couldn't see the skill effects. Did they have to rely on mental arithmetic?!
"You two have overestimated your teammates." Hong Guoguo said with difficulty: "Although the skill cycle is enough, how do you grasp the countdown time? We can't see the skill effects, it's too difficult to judge!"
Su Mo paused after hearing this, "Why do we have to count down? Isn't there a countdown?"
Isn’t the countdown in the task list, which is accurate to the second, a perfect clock
Hong Guoguo: “…Yes.”
After listening to these people's explanation, Qingfeng was a little eager to try, and asked hurriedly: "Shall we charge now?"
Hong Guoguo hurriedly called out: "Wait, let me see where I put the Dream Flower."
Qingfeng: "You're waiting for just one control skill!?"
Hong Guoguo: "What do you know? I'm going to put it in the most convenient place to ensure that I can cast the spell at the first opportunity."
Su Mo read out the final sequence: "Skill cycle: Walking, stopping, stun, fear, immobilization, red fruit, sleep, breeze, stun, knockback, put the knockback skill last."
Time passed second by second, and when the time was about to reach 2 hours and 10 minutes, Yu Zhen moved first.
At 02:09:59, the strong wind in the cave-in stopped.
The formation master took three steps forward, tapped the judge's pen on the bed, and used the length of the pen to move left and right to determine the bed's position. Then he moved half a step to the left and determined the casting position in less than two seconds. Then he cast the first formation in time, successfully controlling the wind that was about to appear in place, "56."
Su Mo prompted: "Hong Guoguo 46, are you there yet?"
"Here I come." Hong Guoguo started running, groping forward with her hands, and was pulled by Yu Zhen at the critical moment.
Yu Zhen reminded: "Put it forward facing me."
Qingfeng bumped into the table after taking two steps, and climbed up despite the pain in his feet, "Is this the position?"
Hong Guoguo: "Yes, but can you step on my foot? Stand a little closer."
After a while of chaos, the four people successfully met in front of the collapsed bed, and watched the countdown on the task bar, and counted the seconds to complete the first cycle. Everything was just as predicted, and a skill cycle could completely suppress the wind in the collapsed bed, and it could not get out at all.
"34." Yu Zhen reported the seconds again.
Su Mo reminded on time: "Hong Guoguo, get ready in 24 seconds."
Hong Guoguo and Qingfeng followed the command completely, listening only to the two big guys in the team reporting the seconds accurately and using their skills on time according to the reading time and countdown. There was no more whistling wind around them, and all the sounds seemed to be blocked in the collapse less than half a meter in front of them. The health of the four people in the team never dropped again.
Time passed quickly, and in the tense atmosphere, pressing skills became almost a habitual operation. Hong Guoguo and Qingfeng reacted from the initial panic and could even calculate their own turns without Su Mo's reminder.
"This is much easier. We don't have to worry so much." Hong Guoguo breathed a sigh of relief. "To be honest, if the boss hadn't thought of a solution in time, we would have been exhausted to death in that environment. It even turned and attacked from above. If I hadn't put on a protective shield in time, I would have been killed that time."
The monster that came out of the cave-in had no shape at all, or it had no shape at all, like a cold air, but it hurt more than a whip when it hit the body. The key point was that this thing was extremely flexible, and after coming out of the cave-in, it could attack from all directions, and it was more powerful than the mist whip that I encountered in the fog sea.
At that time at least I could see, unlike now when my eyes are dark and I have to rely on blindfolds.
Desert Inn Level 2: Remaining players 30/88, remaining teams 8/19, countdown 01:15:45
Su Mo looked at the time. There was only about an hour left, but the player teams were reduced to only 8 teams.
The good thing about the Desert Inn's mechanism is that if there is one person alive in the team, the whole team can be completely resurrected by the end of the level; but it does not give people the opportunity to exploit loopholes. From the current point of view, the second level does not provide a way for four to protect one. The indiscriminate attacks in the dark environment not only make it easy for players to lose their composure, but it is even easy for people's emotions to fluctuate in such an environment.
For example, anxiety.
"Qingfeng!"
“Oh no!”
At this moment, the hypnosis of the dream flower ended, and Feng, who was originally unable to show up due to the control skill, suddenly seized the opportunity, emerged directly from the bottom, and rushed straight to the nearest physical swordsman. Just as the attack reached Qingfeng, a slow attack came down, and Qingfeng reacted and stun it, successfully controlling it!
"Continue to fight back." Su Mo said.
Qingfeng focused his attention and cast a knockback at the right time, sending the emerging Feng back to the cave entrance. Time came to the next cycle, and the array master's control skills took over, successfully continuing the previous rhythm, "Don't be distracted."
Hong Guoguo: "I was scared to death."
Qingfeng apologized: "Sorry, I was a second late in reading the bar just now."
Long-term repetitive actions and repetitive rhythms can easily make people emotionally lazy and numb, causing deviations in judgment and action. This was also within Su Mo's consideration. He said, "You can talk, but leave the reporting to me. Don't fall asleep."
"The second level is so fierce, won't the third level be extremely difficult?" Qingfeng asked, "Could my parchment mission boss lady be the final boss?"
Hong Guoguo: "Don't tell me this tentacle belongs to the boss lady? That's too disgusting."
"It's unlikely. Judging from the current situation of the two levels, this activity focuses more on the player's skill operation and reaction ability." Su Mo explained: "And the situation in the two levels is consistent with the meaning of this word. The next level should be the last one."
Desert Inn Level 2: Remaining players 20/88, remaining teams 6/19, countdown 00:05:43
Finally, the three hours of suffering came to an end. The voice of the mastermind sounded at the last minute. The attack of the cave-in reached its peak. They could almost feel the entire floor shaking. Hong Guoguo couldn't help but excitedly follow the countdown in the team. As the time reached zero, their vision instantly brightened.
Su Mo closed his eyes out of habit to avoid the sudden brightness, but then he realized that this was a holographic game, so he opened his eyes to see the messy room. There was hardly any place in the room that was in good condition, except for the table, bed, and cabinets, everything else was tilted, and there were even several cracks on the floor.
The most terrifying thing was the middle of the bed, which was a bottomless pit with no visible bottom, and it was pitch black underneath.
If they had made a mistake and fallen at the beginning, they would probably have died in an instant.
The second level of Desert Inn has ended, and the battlefield settlement is now underway. There are 15/88 remaining players and 6/20 remaining teams.
The team that successfully challenges will be resurrected and receive corresponding rewards; the team that fails will be expelled and punished.
After the mastermind finished reading the event results, the voice suddenly changed: "Dear players, the final challenge of the Desert Inn is about to begin. The road to the final challenge has been opened. The third level will be a comprehensive challenge dungeon. There is no limit to the number of challenges. If the challenge fails once, the level of the entire team will regress by 1 level. If the challenge is successful, the dungeon will be terminated. You are welcome to challenge at any time."
Friendly reminder: 1. Since there are only 6 teams left that have passed the level, this comprehensive copy adopts a special settlement mechanism. The team that has the right to challenge the third level can invite other players to form a team. The maximum number of participants in the copy is 10 people. The copy mechanism adopts an independent copy, and the difficulty will be set according to the comprehensive score of all players in the group.
2. Players with the challenge right who successfully pass the dungeon will receive 2 basic rewards of [Desert Inn Treasure Chests]. Participating players without the challenge right will only receive 1 [Desert Inn Treasure Chest] reward and will not receive any scoring rewards.
After listening to the rules, Hong Guoguo asked, "What do you mean? Does that mean we can form a team of 6 more players?"
"Yes." Qingfeng explained: "Our team has the right to participate. We can play by ourselves, or we can form a group of 6 players and play again."
After the mastermind's voice ended, the entire room was refreshed and returned to its original state.
The collapsed area in the middle of the room changed. The endless abyss turned into a sunken stone cave. Looking inside from the bed, one could see a stone staircase leading to the depths.
We have detected 4 people in your team, 4 players with the right to challenge, do you want to start the challenge
When Su Mo saw this prompt, he immediately clicked 'No'.
Qingfeng asked, "Aren't we going to fight?"
"No." Su Mo replied coldly, "It's almost time to go to bed."
Hong Guoguo learned her lesson this time, and said before the boss went offline: "Can we add a StarNet account? Create a group or something."
Qingfeng: “I agree!”
StarNet account...
"I think it's a light computer account." Su Mo didn't have a StarNet account, so he could only explain, "I don't use StarNet often."
Hong Guoguo was stunned for a moment. "I have no objection. A light computer account is fine. I thought a StarNet account would be more convenient."
No wonder other people didn’t find Big Brother’s game records on Star Network. It turns out he doesn’t play at all.
Hong Guoguo: "The optical brain group number is 65484514xjl."
Su Mo: "Okay."
Yu Zhen hesitated for a while and joined the group using a small account he used exclusively for gaming.
"Then when do we start the dungeon? Let's agree on a time so we can gather together." Hong Guoguo asked, "This dungeon is also a rip-off. If you fail, you will lose levels. But there will definitely be a big boss going to clear it tonight, so we can't be too late."
"Then let's say 8 a.m., Capital Star time." Su Mo said a time, "Is everyone okay with this?"
The time on the planets in different galaxies is different, but due to the adjustment of intelligent lighting and artificial sun, there is basically no time difference on the same planet.
Yu Zhen: "Okay."
Hong Guoguo: "No problem, I'm also on the Capital Planet."
Qingfeng: "There's something wrong. I might have just fallen asleep..."
Su Mo looked at Qing Feng in confusion: "You go to bed at eight o'clock?"
Qingfeng struggled for a while: "Nine o'clock! I'll try my best... Oh no, I'll go to bed early."
The group meeting was scheduled for 9am tomorrow morning, and Su Mo logged off after making sure there were no problems. It was the first time he logged off early, and after taking his medicine, he stayed in the lab for a while, and at 11am he saw Hong Guoguo in the group.
As soon as I opened it, there were dozens of messages—
Hong Guoguo: Brother, are we going to play with four people tomorrow? Do you want to call for help
: You can form a group, the more people you have, the higher the tolerance rate.
Hong Guoguo: Hey, here’s the thing, I have an idea.
:
Hong Guoguo: What do you think of selling tickets? After all, there are very few chances to clear the game. Participating players will get a treasure chest, a limited event treasure chest!! This kind of ticket is in short supply! Even if you haven't cleared the game, there will be a lot of bosses coming to sell tickets! You can definitely make money. If there are a lot of people coming, we can choose the profession. Then we can also take a look at the equipment and operation, and then decide whether to take it or not.
Qingfeng: Hahahaha, this is awesome. As long as you don’t team up with any crappy people, it’ll be fine.
: Can you make money
Hong Guoguo: Of course! There is such a number [expression]
When Yu Zhen opened the group chat on his computer, he saw the messages in the group. The three teammates were discussing the ticket purchase. Hong Guoguo even wrote a post to sell tickets. And... The summoner seemed to be short of money. The summoner seemed to have little interest in many things. He didn't take the loss of level and attribute points seriously. But every time he discussed money with Hong Guoguo, he always paid too much attention to it, which surprised him.
After reading the chat history, he replied, "No problem."
Erwanwu said in the voice channel: "It's a comprehensive dungeon. I decided to bring a few safe professions in the Cloud Stepping, and I also reserved a position. Do you want to come?"
Yu Zhen replied: "No, I have my own team, you guys go play."
Erwanwu: "What!? You actually secretly have a team!? Without me!!"
Yu Zhen: "The small team."
"Fuck, you cleared the level on your smurf as well?" Erwanwu said, "Then it's okay for your main character to come? Are you playing on your smurf as well?"
"Let's play tomorrow." Yu Zhen added, "I'm worried that you won't be able to finish the game and waste my time."
Twenty-five thousand: “… !!”
So you think we are bad!!
Yu Zhen ignored Erwanwu. After reading the messages in the group, he cleaned up other message records. When he opened the exploration group, he found that the chat records related to the Desert Inn in the group exceeded 10 pages.
The reason why the exploration group was so lively was that Ta Yunzhong was organizing people to stay up all night to clear the level. He could only bring five people at most, so a group of players on the leaderboard were competing for the chance to clear the level. In the end, Ta Yunzhong only selected five key professions, and other players were unfortunately eliminated.
He checked the latest news and saw Ta Yunzhong in the group.
Stepping on the Clouds: Xiaoer said you have a team? Return to the truth and fight against simplicity.
Guizhen Fanpu: Yeah.
Ta Yunzhong: That’s great, multiple teams can share information. Are you still short of people in your group
Apple: Really, are you short of people? Take me with you! I have to be aware of the operation!
Fire Tree and Silver Flower: Take me with you!!! I was so mad that he didn’t bring a summoner with him in Stepping on the Clouds, even though summoners are so strong!
Ta Yunzhong: We just want a strong profession.
Fire Tree and Silver Flower: You look down on us summoners, don’t you? Is there still room for Zhen Ge
Yu Zhen paused for a moment when he saw this, and after a moment's thought, he decided to switch back to the original group and paste the ticket purchase address that Hong Guoguo had just edited into the exploration group.
Return to the True Nature: There are seats available [link], buy tickets first.
The author has something to say: Exploration Group: ... No backdoor
Hong Guoguo: Pay first and then make the investment.
