The dim Hades area was somewhat illuminated by the gap connecting the central city to the outskirts.
After 145 human extraordinary beings jumped in, the gap closed and the world became dark again.
Everyone turned on their high-power flashlights, lighting up beams of light.
This tactical flashlight can illuminate the ground up to 500 meters away and performs very well.
The flashlights had enough power to keep them going until the end of the game.
Cheng Shaofeng did not turn on the flashlight, because he found that... even in the extremely dim area of the underworld, there was a trace of light reflected. If he adapted for a period of time, he should be able to see things barely.
After all... Cheng Dafu's body is an energy body like Shadow Guard, which can see darkness more easily than human bodies.
Let’s put it this way, in the eyes of the shadow guards, the night outside is not much different from the day.
Once you are familiar with the darkness, it will be easier to discover the dangers hidden in it.
Cheng Shaofeng's nano treasure-hunting robot has started moving. Others cannot see it at all, but each energy body has been marked out by the treasure-hunting robot.
There are a large number of low-level energy bodies nearby!
Cheng Shaofeng also noticed that several people, like him, did not turn on their tactical flashlights immediately. He didn't know why.
Everyone observed for a moment, then took action.
Xiao Yan1: "It is rare to enter such a magical place. It must be my chance. I will go first. I will drink and chat with you all when I achieve the 10th level in the future!"
Xiao Yan 2: "I am the son of the city lord, but someone from the Central City broke off the engagement. I can only say... Don't look down on the poor young man!"
Long Aotian 1: "What Kunba's Dark Demon Realm? I am invincible below the second level, and I can surpass the level above the second level! You can call someone to take you back now."
Long Aotian 2: "Haha~ I've never been afraid of anyone when it comes to flag-planting speed. My wife said she's never seen a man faster than me. Do you know what lightning is?"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Multiple Xiao Yans and Long Aotian used their own methods to enter the darkness, their figures filled with majesty and arrogance.
It’s as if he is the protagonist between heaven and earth.
Seeing this... Han Li 1, 2, 3 and others frowned and retreated behind the crowd.
A few people who didn't look so outstanding like Cheng Dafu curled their lips.
"Look at what they are doing... They are so fast, I guess they will be able to plant all the flags soon. I am just here to make up the numbers. If there is any big brother who doesn't mind, let's form a team together? I don't ask for a ranking, just a participation award."
"A fellow traveler! I was also forced to come here by the city lord. There are no outstanding people in our generation. I was sent here as a person in the middle stage of the first evolution... If I hadn't been reluctant to give up this participation award, I would have called for help right now."
"No, no! Have you ever heard that two fists are no match for four hands? Although they are very strong, we can unite and complete the task together. Everyone has their own abilities and may not be slower than them. When the time comes, we can divide the rewards for the top few. Although each person may not get much, it is better than just taking the participation award! I have a plan..."
"That makes sense, brother!"
Soon, these people took action.
It can be roughly divided into lone wolf, team, and silver coins.
"Brother, you seem to be quite old, but you haven't yet reached the second level. I guess your talent... is similar to ours. Why don't we join together?"
A team that didn't have enough people grabbed Cheng Shaofeng.
"Uh... No need. I'll just take a look and call for support soon. It doesn't matter if I take the participation reward or not. This looks pretty... scary. It's more important to save my life."
"Hehe~" The inviter Xie Long sneered, shook his head and ignored Cheng Shaofeng.
Perhaps in his opinion, Cheng Shaofeng was just a fool who had neither the ability nor the ability to see the situation clearly.
One of the young female transcendents asked tentatively, "Uncle, come to our place. It's easier to take care of you with more people. Otherwise, if you run into trouble and don't have time to ask for help... Come on, come on. We don't mind you."
Cheng Shaofeng touched Cheng Dafu's face and said, "Uncle? That's an exaggeration. I'm only in my early 30s."
Female Supernatural: "Ah, I'm just 18, you're a generation older than me~"
“Ah, this!”
Cheng Shaofeng was speechless.
When he originally sculpted this face, he had designed it to be inconspicuous, a slightly plump middle-aged man.
However, these words made Cheng Shaofeng feel a little more favorable towards this girl. In the wasteland... it is rare to see people who care about other people's lives.
Of course, this had nothing to do with the two large milky white obstacles that caused her to lower her head and not be able to see her feet.
If I could give her an online name... ... Milky white big snow girl.
"No, no, I'm used to being alone."
After hearing this, several other people in the team pulled her away.
"Alright, Susu, they are so confident that they don't even bother to team up with us. Can't you see that? If you continue to pester them, it will be rude. What if you delay them from winning the championship?"
"Hahaha!"
The other few people burst into laughter, as if this could make them feel more comfortable after being rejected.
Cheng Shaofeng ignored them.
Compared to those truly strong men who had left before, the people in these teams... were not very strong, and had little confidence in themselves. Cheng Shaofeng actually didn't think much of them.
"Hmm? Coming?"
He quickly left where he was.
Because with the help of the nano treasure-hunting robot, he 'saw' a group of energy bodies rushing quickly towards their entry point.
Although their energies are not very strong, there are too many of them, just like ants finding food.
Cheng Shaofeng left quickly. The ground was covered with barren and hard rocks, with some black unknown plants emerging. As he walked, he encountered a black wall, which was extremely hard and even he could not break it easily.
"Strange terrain..."
At this moment, he happened to see three small energy bodies nearby.
This is the smallest number he has sensed in this world. Usually there are dozens or hundreds of them.
He vaguely heard the screams of some unfortunate contestants who were surrounded by a large number of monsters.
In the dim sky and earth, the strong flashlight became a guide for the monsters, telling them their location.
Cheng Shaofeng shook his head: "People who keep turning on tactical flashlights... are a bit stupid."
Of course, there were also some strong men who fought their way out of the monster pile, quickly passing by and heading to another place.
At least under the exploration of Cheng Shaofeng's nano treasure-hunting robot, the three Xiao Yans, four Long Aotians, and five Han Lis that he was optimistic about were all alive and well, and these monsters were vulnerable in front of them.
The treasure-hunting robot can be placed on other people in advance, and can transmit perception when it is not far away from oneself. With this thing, Cheng Shaofeng is like opening his third eye here.
Cheng Shaofeng took the opportunity to get behind the three small energy bodies in front and saw the appearance of the monsters at close range.
Upon seeing this... Cheng Shaofeng took a breath of cold air.
"It is this thing..."
"Void Demon!"
A shorter, humanoid, red, horned monster with all its muscles exposed, but without any content that is inappropriate for children.
"I said it wasn't such a coincidence. They're all called Hades, the same as the Chaos Cultist summons we dealt with before, so... this is probably the world where we got into a black hole for no apparent reason. Oh, no wonder each of us took a pill called a 'disposable oxygen concentrator' before entering. It seems the air here is unbreathable, so we need to bring our own oxygen."
This micro device is about the size of a vibrator. After being swallowed, it can provide humans with a continuous oxygen supply for one day. After one day, it will automatically degrade and be excreted from the body.
A daily necessity for some extraordinary people who often go to the seabed.
Cheng Shaofeng took some effort to swallow this thing and his face turned red, but he saw that many female extraordinary people swallowed it easily, for some reason.
In addition to the "disposable oxygen concentrator", each of them carried a combat backpack issued by the organizer, including a tactical flashlight, compressed food, water, a crystal of the same attribute with 500 units of energy, a rescue call device, and 49 small flags.
Their goal is to find 49 flag-planting points in this dim and dark area. Once all the flag-planting points are found, the gap connecting the two places will open again, ending the game.
Of course, if no one can fill the space, the gap will be reopened at the entrance after that day, and the contestants can come back here and leave.
This is what the organizers told them.
Cheng Shaofeng took out his portable pistol and killed the three void demons instantly with three rounds of explosive ammunition.
Cheng Dafu kills the 'Void Demon', experience +20*3
Three messages came from the smart watch, and Cheng Shaofeng became more certain that they were the summoned creatures that players often killed.
He himself had killed many of these things with a sniper from the watchtower before.
Unfortunately, Cheng Dafu's body was too far away from the battlefield, and he was unable to pick up the breath of life, so he was unable to gain any experience. Only after the close combat did he gain a lot of experience.
The commotion here attracted a lot of dark monsters.
Some meat ball-like things rushed over in groups, making a rustling sound on the ground.
This is a lower level summon than the Void Demon.
Chaos Priests don't seem to summon this thing, resulting in Cheng Shaofeng not getting the skill seal to summon it.
"Since you want to fight, then come on!"
"Skeleton!"
Cheng Dafu took out his staff and waved it lightly. The bodies of the three void demons next to him began to twist and deform, and three skeletons emerged from them.
Skeleton Warrior, Skeleton Mage, Skeleton Shooter.
1 near and 2 far, a golden combination.
"Not bad, it seems like I'm lucky today."
Some players resurrected a skeleton at the maximum level, and summoned three of the most common melee 'skeleton warriors' as soon as they raised their hands. It was very uncomfortable and they could only wait 18 minutes before they could summon again.
"Plague demon!"
Cheng Dafu waved his hand again, and cracks appeared on the hard ground. Lines of unknown filthy things swept over the corpses of the three void demons and various objects around them, and combined into a stitched monster covered in green poisonous mist.
"Death Armor!"
The Shadow Guard released his unique aura skill from his body, covering the four summons with a thick layer of armor.
If you look closely, you will find that the three skeletons summoned by Cheng Dafu himself are wearing thick physical armor.
It is the expanded skill of Skeleton Resurrection, Will of the Tomb.
Increases Vitality Damage, Elemental Damage, Armor, Vitality Resistance.
An overall enhancement to Skeletons.
This will allow the skeletons, which are already the main force, to reach a higher level of strength, so that they will not be outdone by other summoned creatures in the future.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you are willing to invest another 12 skill points in the skeleton and learn the Will of the Tomb to the maximum level.
Cheng Dafu is now level 13, and with the 5 extra skill points he received when he advanced to level 10, he has a total of 41 skill points.
Currently I have only learned the Necromancer specialization.
Necromancer Mastery Slots: 15
Resurrection of Skeletons: Level 16
Will of the Grave: Level 1
Summon Plague Demon: Level 9
His current point allocation is to first upgrade the advanced summoning skill Plague Demon, which can only be learned with 15 specialization, to the maximum level, and then go back to the Tomb Will to strengthen the skeleton.
This is the only way to maximize combat effectiveness.
After all, the "Plague Demon" is huge in size, can lead people to charge, and emits a large amount of poisonous fog around it. It is the best meat shield for Cheng Dafu.
Players call this thing: Big Fatty.
Some people also call it 'abomination'.
If the Shadow Guard wants to fight with all his strength, he must break free from the constraints of his real body. At that time, he will hide Cheng Dafu's body in the stomach of the plague demon, so that Cheng Dafu will not die in the melee when the battle is over.
Each level of the Necromancer mastery slot increases 1 strength, 0.5 agility, and 1 intelligence. With all the added strength of Cheng Dafu, plus the set of top-quality equipment he just changed into, he is still very strong.
Whoosh whoosh~
Seeing the large number of meat-ball void demons appearing in front of him, the fat man charged forward directly.
The poisonous mist all over its body was scattered all over the ground, but Cheng Dafu, who summoned it, was standing in the poisonous mist and was not affected at all. This energy was originally given by him, so there was naturally no reason for it to harm its master.
The Fatty has two huge claws, which are its main weapons of attack.
Bang!
Two lumps of meat were sent flying with one slap.
Bang!
Another slap sent two lumps of flesh flying.
At this time, about ten nimble balls of flesh pounced on it and began to bite its body.
In front of Cheng Shaofeng, damage values popped up from the plague demon.
Physics + Chaos.
Too many of these little creatures can kill an elephant.
The fat man roared, and a big hole opened in the ribs in the middle of his stomach, spewing out a large amount of acidic poisonous mist.
Puff puff puff~
The flesh balls on its body struggled and screamed after coming into contact with the poisonous mist. Toxins and damage emerged from its body, and then turned into pools of pus and fell to the ground. The green pus splashed out bursts of thick smoke after being corroded.
Cheng Dafu killed the Void Demon Larva, experience +12*N.
Deadly poisonous fog!
"The fat guy's large-scale killing skills are useful. He is not afraid of being besieged."
This wave also greatly increased Cheng Dafu's experience.
"Tsk tsk~ If we could open a channel for players to farm this thing, with this density of monsters... wouldn't it be awesome?"
"What a pity... It would be a waste if we can't collect all these corpses and debris and bring them back to the base."
Cheng Dafu jumped onto the fat man's shoulders and looked for the flag-raising point as mentioned by the organizer.
A lot of void demons and larvae were eliminated on the way, all by the fat man and the skeleton. Cheng Dafu and the shadow guard did not take any action, they just turned on the halo and it was done.
"These creatures aren't very strong. The strongest one is only at the first stage... As long as the stronger first stage evolvers are not very unlucky, they shouldn't die, right?"
There are several huge waves of monsters among them. As long as you are not surrounded, you can kill dozens of them at will if you meet them on the road, right
He shook his head, thinking that this competition must not be that simple.
"Hmm!? That red light..."
He saw a piece of stone emitting a faint red glow.
"This is the mark they mentioned!"
“Finally found the first one.”
After Cheng Shaofeng asked his summoned creature to clear out the monsters around him, he came to the front of the stone.
12 flags have been planted here.
The flag inside the tactical backpack began to vibrate.
“It seems that there are quite a few who are fast.”
He planted a flag.
The mechanical hook shot out from the bottom of the flag, instantly piercing through the stone and embedding into the ground, with a faint light flashing on it.
Cheng Shaofeng let the skeleton try to touch the flags planted by other contestants. Instantly, a strong electric current surged out of the flags and repelled the skeleton warrior.
"Sure enough, the flag has a defensive device to prevent other contestants from maliciously pulling it down."
After reading it, Cheng Shaofeng was about to leave to find the next flag-planting point.
Suddenly, his smartwatch vibrated.
A message popped up above.
The treasure-hunting robot discovered the treasure: obsidian fragments.
"treasure?"
Cheng Shaofeng could feel that the stone in front of him contained a considerable energy. He originally thought that it was just a landmark placed there by the organizer, but he didn't expect it to be discovered to be a treasure.
"Zero, what does treasure mean? This is the first time I've heard a watch refer to it that way."
After a full minute of silence, Cheng Shaofeng realized that he was now in the Shadow Guard state, on the body of Zero.
"Switch."
Cheng Shaofeng sat up from the Calamity Base and repeated the question he had just asked.
Zero: "Congratulations, Master. Nano treasure-hunting robots can find some items with special structures. They often have important functions. Energy equipment, rare materials, high-quality crystals, etc., are all called treasures."
Zero: "I suggest you collect all the items with the title of treasure. It will be a great help to you."
"I understand."
Switch again.
The shadow guard looked at the obsidian fragment the size of a stone tablet in front of him and fell into deep thought.
"First of all, this is a good thing. Secondly, no one is watching here. Finally, I should be able to carry it away."
However, his toothache started again.
"One is fine, it won't be a problem if it's put into the big fat man's stomach, but... there are 48 flags behind, we can't carry them all, and after carrying them, will it be considered a successful challenge? The first prize is 100,000 crystals and a technological product of the Duoyu Academy. The special prize can directly join the Duoyu Academy."
Cheng Shaofeng thought about it for a while and felt that it would be better to finish the competition.
He observed this thing and it seemed that it had been in this world for many years, so it should not be taken away by anyone. At worst, he could find a way to let the players enter this area again to take it away.
At present, he is eager to visit Duoyu College.
The news he got from Xigou... was beyond his expectations.
After marking this place on the map, Cheng Shaofeng continued to move forward.
After a thorough search of the surrounding areas, he found nine more flag-planting points. Each location had an "obsidian fragment" erected, which made him itch.
On the way, he also met fellow contestants. Some of them looked unhappy when they saw him, while others invited him to cooperate.
However, facing the pressure from the fat man, these people did not dare to act rashly.
The group of people who had originally invited him met at the 10th flag-planting point, and they were shocked by the power of the plague demon.
Tu Feiding: "This person's pet... is so strong. I feel a huge pressure, as if it is a second-level creature. Damn... I misjudged it."
Liu Mangshu: "No wonder he didn't want to team up with us... He must have a trump card, haha~ But anyone who reveals his trump card now is not very smart. A tall tree attracts the wind, and he won't live long."
Ji Yaoping: "When he is eliminated by the truly powerful as a competitor, he will understand... being too ostentatious is not a good thing."
Susu suddenly shouted loudly: "How can you talk like that! You hypocrites, you try to win people over when they are weak, and when you fail to win them over, you mock them. When you see that they are strong, you become jealous and even curse them. I don't want to team up with you guys!"
The shouting here also attracted Cheng Shaofeng's attention.
The girl named Susu stomped her feet suddenly and said, "Break up!"
She ran towards Cheng Shaofeng: "Uncle, I have decided to give up those scumbags and team up with you!"
Cheng Shaofeng blinked: "I didn't say I wanted you."
Crispy: (°ー°〃)
She looked at her slender figure and the protruding White Rabbit candy on her shirt, and said in disbelief: "Uncle? Are you okay? I broke up with them to protect you! Can you bear to let me face such a dark world alone? I... I'm very scared."
Cheng Shaofeng was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "Who needs your protection? What does it have to do with me if others want to comment on me? You don't want to get good grades by following me just because you have some meat, do you? Who gave you the courage? "
"Bah! That's really despicable!"
Cheng Shaofeng rode the fat man and left them without looking back.
Leaving behind a mess of crispness in the air, she seemed unable to understand how such a capable female transcendent could be ruthlessly rejected twice, especially when she showed such obvious inclinations.
She chased after him and said tentatively, "Hey! Uncle! My special expertise is healing. I can heal you."
"Come on, my good teammate!"
Susu:∑(O_O；)
This was the first time anyone had paid so much attention to her milk supply rather than her milk volume.
