Kill the monsters on the third floor of Hades to a manageable number, then gather together and follow the player's call back to the Scourge Base.
That sounds very constructive!
Cheng Shaofeng decided to try this first. Anyway, it can be executed together with his current leveling strategy without delaying either.
As time passed, the number of monsters on the third level of Netherworld continued to decrease, and Cheng Dafu's level became higher and higher.
After 35 people killed with all their might for 2 hours, they stopped under the command of Cheng Shaofeng.
Fang Lang: "What? Reached the third level?"
Cheng Shaofeng shook his head: "Not yet, but... there is a problem."
"Have you noticed... it seems like someone is watching us?"
Many people nodded: "It does feel like we are being watched..."
Turkey: "It doesn't matter whether you peek or not. As long as you improve your strength through the secret technique, we can kill them and plant all the flags, and then we can get out."
Others echoed and they thought so too.
It was already a strange place, with a strange throne and a strange man, so a few more strange prying eyes wouldn't matter.
Cheng Shaofeng nodded: "That's true..."
He looked up at the sky, but it was dark and he could not see anything.
"I thought so before, but now... something is wrong. The monsters on the third floor have all gathered together. We can no longer find a small team for us to kill, and even..."
Under the mark of the treasure-hunting robot, three layers of densely packed Hades monsters gathered together and were running towards them, having locked onto their position.
"Our offense and defense have changed... They are gathering to kill us."
The news shocked these elite contestants.
Their previous killing was led by Cheng Shaofeng to find a team of Hades monsters with similar numbers of people. If the other side gathered... then 35 more people would not be enough to fill the teeth of these monsters.
"What should we do? How about we go to the second floor?" Fang Lang said.
Cheng Shaofeng shook his head: "No, if they block the stairs on the second and third floors, we won't be able to get up... We have to think of another way."
At this time, Cheng Dafu was already level 27 and had a lot of skill points in his hands that he could use at any time.
But the current situation... doesn't help much.
In the face of such a huge number, his improvement is insignificant.
'This time, my two plans failed at the same time... It's very uncomfortable. Is it that I can only use the third-level parchment? '
There are a lot of Hades monsters, at least several thousand of them, which is far from being under their control. Even if the players use summoning in the base, they can't catch the fleeting opportunity.
After being locked by them, Cheng Dafu's leveling plan could not be implemented.
"Then what should we do? Uncle, I don't want to die, my mother is still waiting for me to come back..."
Bai Susu's aggrieved voice came from the fat man's belly.
"How about... give it a try? I see that Brother Cheng's secret technique is improving his strength very quickly, and now it's unfathomable. As long as we can hold off that third-level beast for a while, the rest of us will fight to the death to plant the flag!"
"It seems that this is the only way... Everyone's life and death are determined by fate, success or failure is up to God."
"Mr. Cheng, what do you think?"
Chen Jin looked at Cheng Shaofeng with burning eyes. Under the guidance of his talent 'Destined Life', he could still feel the vitality and hope emanating from Cheng Shaofeng.
It's just... sometimes it goes out suddenly, and sometimes it becomes hot suddenly.
Jumping back and forth on the brink of life and death.
Very strange.
Cheng Shaofeng hesitated for a moment, listened to the footsteps of the monsters, and made a decision.
"Come on! Let me try another method!"
He led everyone to one of the 13 obsidian fragments on the third floor, on which 40 flags were inserted.
"Everyone, dig this stone out!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately understood.
"Oh... Right! Since we are asked to put a marker in front of it, it must have some effect. But... What if we destroy it and the people from the Human Alliance can't get in? Aren't we trying so hard to put up the flag just for this glimmer of hope?"
Han Li No. 3, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.
The others also hesitated.
"Right, isn't this a way to kill yourself?"
"It's better to rush to the 4th floor and give it a try."
"I also have a secret technique that can make me as fast as lightning in a short period of time. That third-level beast is not known for its speed. I will take over one flag point myself, and I will definitely be able to plant it!"
Seeing that everyone disagreed, Chen Jin looked at the originally dense white light above Cheng Shaofeng's head, which was faintly dimming, and immediately stood up and said, "I agree with Mr. Cheng's approach! Because... This is very likely to be our chance to survive."
"Think about it, if we desperately plant the last 14 flags, when will the people from the Human Alliance come? Can we hold on until they come? In other words... what is the probability that we can survive the monster pile after planting the flags?"
“Instead of leaving it to an uncertain future, why not take a look for yourself to see what secrets are hidden inside!”
Bai Susu also popped her head out of the fat man's belly: "I support uncle!"
Now, a bunch of people are caught in a dilemma.
Cheng Shaofeng shouted, "Time is running out. We can't think about it any more. I, Cheng Dafu, promise you that if the excavation of the obsidian fragments leads to an accident, I will find another way for you to survive. I have a way to deal with that third-level beast."
"At this time, you can only trust me, because... I am the strongest!"
A faint black aura emanated from the surface of Cheng Dafu's body, and the aura of level 27 and Shadow Guard level 29 were released together, which combined together was extremely terrifying!
It made everyone feel insignificant, as if they were facing a third-order evil monster.
Everyone:!
Cheng Shaofeng: "Fatty, pull this stone out for me!"
Now no one can stop Cheng Shaofeng, who is so powerful, from forcing this strategy forward.
The fat man held the obsidian fragment, which was only 2 meters wide, tightly with his two big hands and pulled it upwards with all his strength, just like Lu Zhishen.
Bang!
Two large footprints were left on the ground under the fat man's feet, and spider-web-like cracks spread outward along the footprints.
But... Obsidian didn't move.
Cheng Shaofeng had anticipated this.
“Dig together!”
The three skeletons moved.
Shen Jin thrust his sword hard into the black stone on the ground, using all his energy to explode. A colorful light flashed, and a pit was blasted out next to the obsidian fragment.
Cheng Shaofeng looked over and others also joined the digging team.
The pig spirit shook the ground hard, causing cracks to appear on the rocks.
3 wolf spirits: ┗|｀O′|┛Ah~~
The claws dug downwards frantically, sending rock chips flying.
Others also used their own weapons to speed up the process.
They dug three feet into the ground much faster than those void demons.
It only took a moment to discover that the thin threads connecting the flags to the obsidian fragments after they were inserted were extremely tough and impervious to water and fire.
ever!
Chen Jin swung his sword down, but nothing moved.
Long Wenke rubbed the flaming sword that could melt stone repeatedly, causing sparks to fly.
A large amount of acid water came out of Turkey's hands, and smoke appeared all around, but the thin line shot out from the flag was still as bright as before.
...
Everyone tried their best, but they were unable to sever the connection between the flag and the obsidian.
After digging 10 meters down, they finally reached the end of the obsidian fragments. They had been pierced by fine wires, leaving countless small holes, some of which looked to have existed for a long time.
"That's it!"
Cheng Shaofeng felt the energy in the black key fragments, and the treasure-hunting robot issued warning sounds at a very high frequency.
"I think I know why this is a treasure... This is just a giant mixed crystal!"
At the bottom of the black key fragment, a trace of chaotic energy flowed out and entered the surrounding stones, providing chaotic energy to the earth.
Fang Lang wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "We have dug here, and we cannot destroy the obsidian fragments and the flag. What should we do?"
Cheng Shaofeng smiled slightly: "You can't destroy it..."
He took out the energy revolver that Chen Jin gave him from his backpack and stuffed three ice bullets and three fire bullets into it.
Shen Jin couldn't help but remind: "This is an energy pistol, it can be fired without bullets."
"I know... but my bullets are not ordinary bullets."
This gun is very special. It can deal extremely high energy damage even without using bullets. After loading bullets, this power will be added to the bullets.
The same bullet will be much more effective when fired from this gun than from an ordinary pistol.
The exact number is unclear, but Cheng Shaofeng feels that the damage is at least twice as much.
At this moment, the roars of the Hades monsters were heard.
They are almost here.
If we don't run, we will be surrounded and no one will be able to escape.
Cheng Dafu raised his pistol and black air came out of his body, as if a shadow was attached to him.
He and his shadow grabbed the revolver at the same time.
Bang!
Ding~
Remote Expert!
Ice barrage!
Rhythm strike charge!
An ice bomb was fired, leaving a small mark on the obsidian fragment. The frost quickly spread along the mark, covering 1/4 of the entire stone.
A ball of white light condensed above the revolver.
The others looked at the attack with solemn expressions, wondering if they could take this bullet.
At the same time, everyone was shocked. Brother Cheng... was actually more than just a summoner!
Bang!
Ding~
The rhythm strike gathered power again, the white light condensed, and the bullet hit the previous crater, magnifying the mark a little bit again, and the frost covered half of the stone.
The others thought that the two shots were indeed extraordinary, but were far from being able to break the obsidian fragments, and they all shook their heads.
Fang Lang: "It seems that the strength of this stone is too high. It is estimated that it will take a true third-level evolver to use all his strength to break it... Otherwise, so many contestants before us have not come out. I guess they have tried it too, and it is simply not something we can do at this stage..."
Bang!
clang!
A clear sound of hammering came from the revolver.
Rhythm hit, trigger!
Whoosh~
A dazzling ice-blue light flashed, and the obsidian fragment instantly suffered four times the damage than before.
A deep hole sank straight into the obsidian fragments.
In an instant, the frost spread and the entire obsidian fragment turned into a piece of ice.
The entire underworld world trembled slightly for a moment.
The dark monsters that were chasing them stopped one after another.
Everyone: “Fuck!”
This burst of damage scared all the contestants.
A strong man had already noticed something was wrong and shouted, "Our soldiers inherited the rhythm strike! Are you also from the frontline? "
"Rhythm strikes are aimed at exceeding one's own strength limit. The level of practice depends on how many times the user's ability can be...
"Half a time is a small success, double a time is a great success, and triple a time is a master-level warrior, who can often kill above his level! This level of enhancement just now... I have never heard of it, I have never seen it before! Why haven't I heard of your name on the front line? Who are you? "
This person was the only martial artist on the field. Cheng Shaofeng had already seen that he and Tuoba Liang were of the same type.
Cheng Shaofeng said: "Let's talk about it after we get out of this predicament. Now... I haven't finished what I need to do yet!"
He aimed again at the hole he had made in the obsidian fragment.
Bang!
Ding~
Exploding ammunition!
Rhythm Strike charges again.
boom!
The flaming bullets passed through the hole into the obsidian fragments, instantly raising the temperature of the frozen obsidian fragments from extremely low to ultra-high temperature!
This caused the obsidian fragments to make cracking sounds.
"Haha~ Not everyone can withstand the extremes of ice and fire... In mild cases, the internal structure will be disrupted, and soft objects will become as hard as iron. In severe cases, they will explode directly, spraying everywhere."
Bai Susu's head popped out from the fat man a little, and she said faintly: "Uncle, the best thing you can say is bullet..."
Bang!
Ding~
When the second bullet was fired, there was another explosion inside the obsidian. From the sound, it was known that more cracks had appeared inside.
Everyone looked at Cheng Shaofeng expectantly. They knew... the next time the rhythm strike was triggered, the stone would be completely blown up!
While everyone was holding their breath, Cheng Shaofeng looked up at the sky.
"My third shot is coming..."
"stop!"
A man's roar was heard from the sky.
The next second, a phantom composed of condensed energy appeared beside everyone.
It was the man sitting on the throne bound by chains.
Cheng Shaofeng's mouth curled up slightly, the second strategy of cloud players' "Northward Advance" worked.
The obsidian fragment is indeed an extremely important item. The people of the Human Alliance want to lock it through some kind of instrument. The Hades World needs this thing to provide chaotic energy, and the treasure-hunting robot also marks it as an important treasure.
Once it is destroyed... it will inevitably lead to a major change in the situation!
At this time, changes came.
Cheng Shaofeng said, "Are you finally willing to come out and have a good chat?"
"Why don't you tell us... who are you?"
The shadowy man showed a disdainful look: "Bug, you have no idea what you are facing. In front of me, you are as weak as an ant."
Cheng Shaofeng: "Okay, let me blow this up first and then we can talk."
"If you want to die, just shoot." The shadow said coldly.
Scare the others.
Han Li 1, 2, and 3 frowned and retreated dozens of steps, putting some distance between themselves and the obsidian fragments.
Fang Lang shouted: "Will this thing explode?"
Shadow: "That's right. Obsidian fragments provide chaotic energy to the entire world. You... these weak crystal eaters who are as weak as insects? Haha~ You will die instantly in this energy turbulence."
"I don't believe it."
Bang!
Cheng Shaofeng's third shot hit the edge of the obsidian fragment, directly creating another hole.
"Fuck! Big brother, you should tell me before you shoot!"
Except for Chen Jin and Bai Susu, everyone else moved away from the obsidian fragments.
This made the eyebrows of the man who had always been superior twitch.
"Are you not afraid of death?"
Cheng Shaofeng: "As long as you are more afraid than me, I have nothing to be afraid of. If you don't answer the next question I ask you, I will put the next bullet into the first hole."
"Who are you?"
Cheng Shaofeng's calmness made everyone else sweat. Long Wenke, who had always lived with an arrogant mentality, also asked himself.
If it was him standing there... he would never dare to fire that shot.
Perhaps... when that phantom suddenly appeared beside them, they had already felt fear.
"Brother Cheng is really brave. I am not as good as him."
Fang Lang bit his lip tightly: "He really dares to risk his life..."
Turkey: "As calm as if he still has several lives left. Is he a cat?"
Regardless of what other people here think, Cheng Shaofeng stared at the man in front of him.
The shadow was silent for a moment, as if recalling something.
Then laughed.
"You are no threat to me, just like insects are no threat to God. For me, the loss of an obsidian fragment will only slow down the growth of these chthonic creatures, and you... are about to die."
As he said this, the monsters on the third floor moved over again and were about to surround them.
Cheng Shaofeng: "You go first! Go to the stairs and wait for me. If my summons die or are forced by monsters to break into the fourth floor, I will give you a final helping hand to open this world."
Bai Susu: "Uncle, I'll accompany you! If we fight, I'll help you heal!"
"If you want to help me, just... take my gear and leave."
He quickly took off Cheng Dafu's equipment and handed it to Bai Susu. Now he had nothing to worry about.
Chen Jin shouted, "Take care, Brother Cheng! You will definitely turn danger into safety!"
After everyone left, all that was left on the ground was a large obsidian pit and Cheng Dafu, who was wearing a white vest and shorts.
A man stood there holding a revolver.
Bang! Bang!
After charging two shots to launch a rhythmic attack, Cheng Shaofeng looked at the shadow.
"Okay, now there are only two of us left. I know you can kill me, but... my life in exchange for your obsidian fragment is worth it."
The shadow looked at Cheng Shaofeng and asked irrelevantly, "Are you the clone who opened the ruins of Shrine No. 50 some time ago?"
"Then you must be the Lord Mingsha who was hiding in the black hole and playing tricks before?"
"I allow you to call me Hades, so... because you are a clone, you are not afraid of death? The incomplete soul in your body can be cut off at any time? Oh... I see, your real body is still at the 50th shrine, no wonder..."
Cheng Shaofeng's past was exposed several times, but he didn't care. After all, the ability of a person who could open up an unknown world, teach skills in dreams, and summon creatures through space teleportation was definitely beyond his imagination.
"Shrine No. 50? How many of these are there?"
"That's not something you should know."
Cheng Shaofeng: "Okay, now that you know my identity, it's easy. I'm not afraid of death, and I know... you're afraid of losing this obsidian fragment. How about making a deal? You open the ruins of shrine No. 50 and send us over, and then I won't destroy this thing. How about that?"
The God of the Underworld looked at Cheng Shaofeng's fearless appearance and thought about something in his heart.
After a moment, he replied: "I have been watching you...Except for that little girl, they have nothing to do with you, why did you save them?"
"Because I can get more benefits in return by saving them."
Speaking of this, Hades suddenly laughed and clapped his hands.
"Okay, okay! If you want benefits, then I happen to be the god in the world who is best at giving benefits to others!"
"I want to make a deal with you."
"Although I don't know how you got this old-fashioned cloning technology that has been eliminated for many years... But the clones' fearless team spirit is exactly what I need now. I admire the team you lead. If you lead your people to believe in me, I will give you countless benefits!"
"Endless crystals, skills inherited from the Chaos, the true power of the shrine... You will never be able to reach the heights you strive for in your lifetime, I will give you all of them!"
"Have faith in me, bug!"
Cheng Shaofeng was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "Brother, are you crazy? It's no use talking any more, I'll shoot you to pieces!"
Hades: (°ー°〃)
