Level 2 of Hades.
Cheng Shaofeng and Bai Susu crawled out of the plague demon's belly.
The world was still extremely dim, with some faint red light reflected into the retina. If the lights were not turned on, it would be a very uncomfortable experience for humans.
Fortunately, the shadow guard is not a normal human being and has strong eyesight. With the assistance of the nano treasure-hunting robot, these visual obstacles are not a problem.
Bai Susu is also a carefree person. When she can't see the road clearly, she sits on the fat man and waits to win.
Although Cheng Shaofeng has not yet revealed his powerful strength, for some reason... Bai Susu seems to have determined that he is a strong man.
This made Cheng Shaofeng feel a little strange.
"Uncle, do you want to eat something? I have some compressed biscuits here."
"Me too, thank you."
"Uncle, do you want to drink some water?"
"I have some, too."
"Uncle, do you want to inhale some crystals to replenish your energy?"
"Just a reminder, our backpacks are all given by the organizers, and the contents are exactly the same. I'll get whatever I need, okay?"
Cheng Shaofeng even wondered how such a fascinating woman could survive in the wasteland until now? Her parents must be very powerful, right
Susu: "Oh... I know, I'm just worried that yours won't be enough."
Cheng Shaofeng: “…”
I deserve to die.
After climbing to the second floor, the strength of the Hades monsters increased significantly. Cheng Shaofeng encountered a team of 20 first-level and half-first-level void demons + larvae.
Although the Plague Demon had strength close to that of a second-level evolver after the addition of his equipment and abilities, he could not crush it easily. He fought back and forth with the Hades monsters. With the cooperation of three skeletons and one beehive queen, and after being treated by Susu several times, he was finally able to kill them.
Kill the 'Void Demon', experience +100
Kill 'Young Void Demon', experience +40
Kill...
Thin red energy lines that are invisible to ordinary people were pulled out from the corpse and entered Cheng Dafu's body.
Bang!
Cheng Dafu's body changed, a surge of energy surged out, and his physical condition returned to its peak.
Level 14!
"Oh my goodness... this is interesting."
The experience is high enough!
And it is not difficult to defeat it. The Void Demon only has two attack methods: claw attack and claw cutting.
One is a normal attack that causes piercing and confusion damage, and the other is a technique similar to the cross slash, which can draw a bloody cross and cause damage to enemies in the range in front of you. If the defense is broken, it will also trigger bleeding.
The biggest injuries on the fat guy's body were the bloody scratches left by the scratches. The bleeding accumulated a lot, and he was able to hold on thanks to Susu's treatment.
Otherwise, after killing this wave, it would probably be seriously injured and I would have to summon a new one.
"Having a wet nurse is a good thing..."
There is indeed a lack of such an auxiliary profession in the Scourge Base. The Blood of Dreig alone cannot meet the players' daily milk needs. The cooling time is too long. If it is forced to be used continuously, it will cause a serious burden on the body and cause a decline in various physical attributes.
The Healing Touch used by Susu has only a 5-second cooldown, so it can be used frequently and the amount of healing is also good.
"Since it has been upgraded, let's increase the strength of the fat guy."
Cheng Dafu added all three skill points to the skill of summoning plague demons, reaching level 12.
"call!"
Boom!
The plague demon suddenly collapsed and turned into debris on the ground.
At the same time, another bigger fat one merged.
Bai Susu was also surprised when she saw the miraculous scene in front of her: "On-site breakthrough? This fat guy is even stronger... Uncle is so powerful!"
She often deals with summons and is very keen on judging their strength.
Cheng Shaofeng nodded: "I suddenly felt something in my heart, as if I had practiced for three years and improved this skill a lot."
"Too strong! Together we are invincible!"
According to Cheng Shaofeng's smart watch data, the basic attributes of the newly summoned plague demon have been comprehensively improved.
The basic health value has reached 3566 points!
Add to that the bonus from the Death Armor and the extra boost to this type of skill from the Undead Summoner, and the total health reaches a whopping 5516 points!
A very tanky summon.
It is difficult for ordinary attacks to pose a fatal threat to it.
Simple skin injuries can be completely healed by Bai Susu's healing touch.
Moreover, its own attack power is also extraordinary. With its huge weight, a large bibimbap can blow away a 1.5-meter-tall void demon. The poisonous mist gushing out of its body can cause exaggerated acid damage and toxin accumulation.
It is quite powerful when combined with Susu's Beehive Queen's group debuff.
Double poison combination.
With the big fat guy at level 12, the pressure was obviously reduced, and the two of them rode on this floor to look for a flag-planting point.
Cheng Shaofeng avoided large groups of monsters and quickly cleared out those that were alone or had less than 10 people to gain some experience for Cheng Dafu.
Soon, they found the first obsidian fragment and the two successfully planted the flag.
"Friends ahead, why don't we go together? The monsters on this floor are too powerful, and we can take care of each other."
The two people behind also came to this point to plant the flag, but Cheng Shaofeng decisively refused.
"No, bye."
The two men had no chance to take out the weapons they had placed behind them.
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots were heard from the southwest side of Cheng Shaofeng. In an instant, a large number of wandering void demons were attracted over there. Then, shouting and crying of despair after being surrounded were heard.
"Save me! Save me! I give up the game!
!”
But I don’t know if he shouted too late or didn’t have time to press the rescue device, no one from the organizer came to rescue him, and he was eaten by the swarm of void demons.
The voice made Cheng Shaofeng shudder.
"We can't just shoot here. Otherwise, we will be like the brightest firework in the dark forest, and will be besieged by other monsters hiding in the darkness."
Bai Susu: "Uncle, you are so artistic, you have so many words to say."
"Haha~ You haven't read The Three-Body Problem, have you?"
"Oh? What threesome?"
Cheng Shaofeng: “6!”
In fact, this is not good news for Cheng Shaofeng. His main output method is actually firearms + ice and fire bullet attacks. With the fat man as cover and restraint, he has very good long-range output conditions.
You can't just shoot casually, or else his fighting power will be destroyed by half.
The two people advanced carefully on the second floor, relying on Cheng Shaofeng's treasure-hunting robot to find the obsidian fragments quickly. After avoiding a large number of void demons, they finally filled up the second floor with a total of 12 flags.
During the process, Cheng Shaofeng also discovered the stairs leading to the third floor.
"Kill this small group of void demons ahead, and then we'll go to the next level."
"Uncle, since you can find them, why don't you just hide and walk away? Otherwise, it will waste time."
"Haha~ If I kill them, I can accumulate experience points for promotion. Only in battle can I grow and break through. Do you understand?"
"But! But it's all the fat guys fighting, how are you going to break through?"
"Heal your wounds!"
"profound."
Cheng Shaofeng commanded his summons to rush forward to fight the Void Demon. A variant of the Void Demon larva had appeared here. It did not evolve into a humanoid monster with long legs and horns, but maintained the form of a meat ball and evolved a larger mouth. Half of its face was a mouth, which could swallow a whole Void Demon when opened.
As scary as the weird ones.
It can spit out mucus from its mouth, which will cause confusion and damage if it sticks to people, and greatly reduce the body's flexibility. If a person is not strong enough, he will be stuck to the ground and unable to move.
"Ah! My little bee!"
After being sprayed, the little bee couldn't even flap its wings and fell directly from the sky. Then it was eaten by this strange creature while it screamed.
But it can only eat a mouthful of energy, and the summoned creature, the Queen of the Beehive, also has no physical body.
"Humph! Eat my little bees and sting you to death! The little bees attack again!"
Bai Susu raised her hand and summoned another beehive queen to help in the battle.
"superior!"
The fat man and the skeleton were not very afraid of this kind of attack, but their movements were a little slow. They still killed this big-mouthed weirdo and quickly dealt with the other void demons.
Kill the Void Reaver, experience +100
Kill...
Sudden!
A small black hole appeared under the feet of the Void Demon, who had been crippled by the Skeleton Mage's fireball, and he fell into it and disappeared.
"Huh? Where did you go?"
Cheng Shaofeng walked up and knocked on the ground, but found no trace at all, as if the black hole that had just appeared did not exist.
I looked around but couldn't find any trace of it.
Bai Susu: "How strange! I saw this happen once before on the first floor. It's as if they were suddenly sucked away... Is there some powerful character protecting them?"
"Suck it away?"
Cheng Shaofeng suddenly thought of something: "Wait a minute, I'll think about something."
Close your eyes and transform into your true self.
He rode the Green Goblin skateboard that his fan girl had given him and toured the base, and found a large number of Void Demons. After randomly checking a few of them, he found that... they were exactly the same as the Void Demons in the Hades area.
But he didn't find the crippled Void Demon he was looking for.
But it does not affect his inference.
"From this point of view, all the creatures summoned by Chaos Cultists and Chaos Priests are not born out of thin air, but are summoned from the Hades region through special methods. The one just now should have been summoned by other cultists, not by us."
"Because the Void Demons on the second floor are obviously stronger, they are at around the first level. There seem to be very few people in our base who have learned this skill to a high level. Most people have only learned level 1, so the ones they summon are only those on the first level."
At this moment, he looked at his skill bar, and the summoning of void demon was already in it, and the method of using it was engraved in his mind.
Cheng Shaofeng closed his eyes and used this skill, using his level 29 consciousness to feel the rules governing the operation of the skill and all the energy fluctuations around him.
He carved a rune of unknown symbol in his mind and mobilized his own energy to activate the rune.
The next second, a black hole flashed in front of his body, and a confused Void Demon fell out of it.
“Got it!”
The black hole appeared for a very short time, so most players didn't notice it. They thought it was a game setting and didn't care where the summoned creature came from.
Therefore, everyone overlooked the fact that this summoning skill was different from all other summoning skills... It summoned an already existing living being and transported it through that black hole.
"So... this is teleportation?"
"Outrageous! Extremely outrageous!"
"A simple summoning skill can actually teleport creatures from an unknown area. If you have this ability, why don't you unify the world?"
He remembered the figure reflected in the sky that the player had mentioned inexplicably.
"Who is behind all this? What is his purpose?"
This discovery made Cheng Shaofeng feel that the world before his eyes was full of fog, but he didn't have to unravel all the fog.
After thinking for a while, Cheng Shaofeng seemed to have discovered a new problem.
"This competition is held once a year. What is the special meaning of choosing this place?"
"Forget it... Let's think of a way to win the championship first. If I really run into danger, the people outside won't be able to rescue me in time... Maybe there's another way to save my life, oh no, a way to save my equipment."
He used another summoning skill to summon the Chaos Herald, with a casting process similar to that of summoning the Void Demon.
However, this time, after the black hole flashed, what appeared was a floating monster wearing metal armor, with a huge scarlet claw on its right hand, which was wrapped with flames like blood.
The Herald of Chaos.
A long-range output summon.
Its right hand can throw out a fireball called "Void Fire Bomb", causing chaos + fire double damage.
Although it only has one attack method, its attack speed and attack damage are very good, and its own health is also very high. It has 1251 basic health at level 1, making it a non-fragile ranged summon.
During the previous battle with mutants, this thing was the one that killed the most players.
Now it has become a summoning skill for players.
Some newcomers use this skill as the main output pet. It is said that various attributes will be increased after the level is high, but the values will fluctuate each time it is summoned.
"Living Summoning, there are definitely no two Chaos Heralds that are exactly the same, no wonder the stats are different..."
When Cheng Shaofeng saw this thing, he suddenly thought of something.
"The Dark Demon didn't appear on the second floor, which means it should be on the third or fourth floor. Then the battle below will be troublesome..."
Whether playing games or in real battles, ranged combat is always better than melee combat.
Wing Chun, Bagua, Tai Chi, as long as they are not close to each other, how can they fight with American Iai
Next, he issued a world announcement to verify his conjecture.
...
In a blink of an eye, Cheng Shaofeng returned to the shadow guard's perspective.
"Come on, follow me in, to the next floor."
The two of them used the same trick again, with Susu treating the fat man as they rushed through the chaotic stairs.
On the stairs, a superhuman rolled on the ground holding his head, shouting, "Don't come over here! Don't come over here!"
Then he burst into tears and howled.
He laughed and danced like a mental patient.
Cheng Shaofeng shook his head: "I roughly know the negative effects that chaos attacks can bring."
He had deliberately let the Void Demon hit him a few times to test the damage the monsters here could cause to his current equipment. Although physical damage could not penetrate his armor, he still took a lot of chaos damage.
As soon as the hurt entered his body, he began to have some strange thoughts: arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony...all of his usual negative emotions became active.
There's something wrong with the whole person.
However, in this situation, Cheng Shaofeng only needs to circulate the energy slightly.
He speculated that it was because the chaos damage suffered was relatively low.
"If you continue to be damaged by chaos and cannot resist... you will be like him, completely losing yourself and becoming a madman controlled by desire."
As if to fulfill Cheng Shaofeng's words, the 'mental patient' with red eyes rushed towards an umbrella-holding contestant who was walking in the chaos.
"You're so beautiful, I'm going to fuck you to death!"
"Hahaha~ I can do whatever the fuck I want!"
"I am a 10th level God!"
ever!
There was a flash of knife, and the contestant holding the umbrella continued to move forward, leaving behind only a body with its head and body separated, with a look of madness on his face before he died.
Cheng Shaofeng had just crossed the stairs and looked back to see this scene. He was shocked. That damage... was definitely beyond the level that a first-level evolver could achieve!
Even if it is not as powerful as the third charged attack of his full-level Rhythm Strike, it is still half as powerful.
And he recognized the man holding the umbrella as he walked across the stairs.
It was Han Li No. 1 who was marked by him.
Extremely low-key, but incredibly powerful.
"This umbrella... this knife... is so strong."
The umbrella can shield the energy impact in the air, and the knife can cut out energy waves like a blade. It is definitely not an ordinary knife.
Bai Susu tilted her head: "I think... not as good as you, uncle."
"Oh? Why do you think so?"
"Intuition, we patrol... an intuition that ordinary evolvers have, which can sense the strength of a person, and can also sense the good and evil of a person's heart."
Cheng Shaofeng suddenly laughed.
"You think I'm a powerful... good person?"
Bai Susu nodded: "Yes, I believe in my intuition!"
Cheng Shaofeng could not deny it, but without saying anything more, he sat on the shoulder of the plague demon and prepared to look for a flag-planting point again.
"Friend, please stay!"
Behind him, Han Li called out to Cheng Shaofeng.
Cheng Shaofeng reached into his waist and held two pistols: "Huh? What's going on?"
Han Li No. 1: "Don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards you. My name is Shen Jin, and I want to make a deal with you."
"What deal?"
"I'll use all my wealth to buy my life."
"I have no intention of becoming your enemy, why do you say that?"
This made Cheng Shaofeng puzzled, as he had never thought of fighting with Chen Jin.
Shen Jin shook his head: "I know, I don't know the specific reason, but I can feel it... You may be my savior today, so I will reward you in advance, and I hope that if you have the chance, you will definitely save my life."
Cheng Shaofeng: “???”
"What kind of new scam is this! At least make up your words! This is too insincere!"
The other party looked at Cheng Shaofeng seriously and said, "Can you agree to this? This is all the property I brought with me, a 5,000-unit attributeless crystal, an energy musket made by my master, and a forging blueprint taught to me by my master. These are all I have. This knife and umbrella are my life-saving items, so I can't give them to you."
Cheng Shaofeng sneered: "Haha~ You must have tricked me into going to your place to get something, so that I could escape the protection of my summons and attack me when I was not on guard, so that you would have one less competitor. Am I right?"
Shen Jin: "I'll leave the things here. As long as you promise to save my life when you have the chance, I will leave. If you are worried, you can let your skeleton take it away."
At this time, Cheng Shaofeng was completely confused, but he couldn't seem to find any reason to refuse.
"Okay, as long as you don't act crazy, I'll agree to it."
"Thanks!"
The cautious Han Li1 left quickly and happily, as if he had really saved his life.
Cheng Shaofeng asked the skeleton to bring a few things over, observed them from a distance, and then asked the treasure-hunting robot to lie down and look at them. After it found the blueprint...
Treasure Hunt Robot Finds Treasures!
That roll of drawings was actually judged to be a treasure!
"this... "
I don't know why it's so impressive.
After repeated attempts and finding no suspicious traces, Cheng Shaofeng put all three things into his backpack.
The energy gun is in the shape of an old-fashioned revolver.
The moment Cheng Shaofeng grasped it, energy automatically filled the magazine and continued to compress inside the magazine, becoming an extremely condensed state. These techniques emerged in his mind from the long-range expert skills, as if he was born to use the energy pistol.
He pulled the trigger.
biu~
A green energy bullet shot out, creating a hole in the surrounding dark mountains. Acidic energy continued to drip from the hole, corroding the wall.
"This gun can fire energy bullets based on the energy attribute I have now... Good stuff!"
A revolver that uses energy as bullets opened Cheng Shaofeng's eyes.
"So this is the correct way to use a max-level ranged expert, using energy bullets against the enemy... As long as I have energy, I can keep firing without being limited by the magazine."
"After we return to the base, we will examine the gun and see its properties."
"Oh, yes, there is also this blueprint. It seems to be a blueprint for building some equipment. Let's go back and examine it."
After receiving Han Li's item, which was Shen Jin's, Bai Susu became quite nervous.
"If you have the chance, please save him once, it won't be wasted."
Cheng Shaofeng: "Haha~ He needs my help even with his fighting ability... I think it will be hard for me to deal with that opponent."
"The attack power that Shen Jin just displayed is definitely the kind that only a second-order evolver can produce. I wonder how he managed to fool the initial test..."
"Wait! It seems that our strength level was not tested before we came in?"
Susu thought for a moment and said, "Yeah... Why didn't you check? Doesn't it say that the highest level of the contestants must be lower than the second-level evolver?"
Cheng Shaofeng scratched his head: "Could it be that a more advanced device has already completed the inspection without our knowledge? And we just don't know about it?"
“It’s possible~”
"Let's go. Let me check what's on the third floor. There's a high chance we'll run into some monsters that can throw fireballs. You should hide in the belly to avoid getting hurt by mistake."
"good!"
Susu went straight into my stomach and didn't come out. She was very obedient.
Cheng Shaofeng was very relieved. He actually didn't like dealing with girls. The most important reason was... he had a stereotype about girls and thought they were the embodiment of trouble.
But today, after interacting with Susu... it went surprisingly smoothly.
A girl who understands the situation very well.
Looks stupid, but... always makes the right choice.
"Maybe I should also get an assistant and a partner to assist Cheng Dafu."
The biggest difference between her and the players is... she doesn't steal experience!
Hey~full of experience points, eat your fill!
Can he compare with this player? He can't!
After reaching the third floor, the space here is slightly brighter than the two floors below, allowing many normal evolvers to see things without turning on a flashlight.
For the shadow guard, it no longer affects his vision, and he can clearly see the monster floating towards him from dozens of meters away.
"1..2..3... 4... ...31!"
"Hiss~ So many Chaos Heralds, slip away!"
Cheng Shaofeng hurriedly rode the fat man and found a deserted road to leave quickly.
In the dark sky, a figure was looming, as if observing these humans coming in.
The first level of Hades.
The shadows of 10 men descended next to the 10 obsidian fragments. With a slight wave of their hands, a large number of void demons came to the obsidian fragments.
"dig!"
