"What!?"
Gao Hou's muscles tensed and he turned his head suddenly.
Behind me... there is nothing but my own shadow.
"Are you kidding me?"
Hua Qian chuckled.
"Just kidding. I'm just reminding you. You think you have the situation under control, but... you seem to have forgotten what happened in the northern battlefield a few days ago. We have far more people than you think..."
"They are already on their way here. Are you sure you can hold on?"
After finishing speaking, Hua Qian said a few words to her smartwatch.
The wanderers and inquisitors of the Colossus City began to move...
Gao Hou stared at Hua Qian and said fearlessly, "You'd better get your people here, or I won't have to go out and look for them again!"
"Also... your status in this organization seems to be quite high, so..."
"Bring her here!"
20 Iron Knights rushed over from the city wall. They were extremely powerful and their equipment was exceptionally neat. Hua Qian was no match for them at all, so she didn't put up any resistance and let them take her away.
Gao Hou ripped off her smart watch.
"You guys are using this thing to communicate, right? It's just as the Archbishop guessed. You're in the same group as the ones who attacked our headquarters."
Hua Qian nodded and said, "Yes, that's what we did, and we might do it again. You brought so many experts here, so... the headquarters must be very empty, right?"
"Don't bluff me! These are all the leftovers from my many years of playing around, but... it's good that you have the guts to admit it. What I hate most are idiots who keep their mouths shut. You're a smart person, so tell me everything you know when you're in my hands, and I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise... your soul will be tortured by me endlessly!"
Hua Qian sneered: "It seems that you have forgotten that we can be resurrected? Any personal threats from you are invalid to me."
"Oh? Are you sure?"
Gao Hou raised the corner of his mouth, and suddenly pinched Hua Qian's neck. Green flames emerged from his hands, which did not burn her flesh, but directly attacked her soul. A heart-wrenching shudder came from Hua Qian's brain.
"ah!"
The military base of China’s “Apocalypse OL” special task force.
Bang!
Hua Qian sat up suddenly and threw the gaming helmet away.
The next second, she rubbed her head and the pain disappeared, as if the trembling just now was a nightmare.
She frowned.
"I still feel unbearable pain even after shutting down all my pain senses? But reality is not affected? Is this a... new type of attack? It knocks me offline?"
This was the first time she had known of this kind of attack.
Glancing at her colleague who was still playing games with a helmet in the office, she shook her head and continued to put on the helmet to reconnect online.
At this point the pain has subsided and is now within a tolerable range.
"Hehehe~" Gao Hou grinned.
"It must feel bad to have your soul burned, right? I don't know how you were resurrected, but... once your soul is shattered by me, you're dead!"
From Hua Qian's perspective, she saw that the hand that Gao Hou used to pinch her neck contained a huge emerald ring, which was flashing with an enchanting light.
Obviously, this is a special means of attack given to him by the equipment, and it is also the solution that the Crusaders found after knowing that the players will be resurrected.
Hua Qian thought for a moment, then pretended to be severely hurt and said, "You... despicable! What do you want to know?"
"everything!"
Hua Qian was silent for a moment and sighed.
"It all started with the disaster that happened 400 years ago..."
Gao Hou suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"Your organization has actually existed for so long?"
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Hua Qian was telling the story while reading a collection of creative stories by players on the official website. The story had twists and turns, comparable to the exciting stories on Qidian. Gao Hou was stunned by what he heard.
The surrounding Iron Knights held their breath when they heard the excitement, and they didn't even control the codes in their hands so hard.
At this time...
The residents in the Colossus City were dispersed by players and wanderers and hid in houses.
Half an hour later.
"In fact, Hades was not completely sealed in the world, but left a shadow in this world. He instigated Prometheus and Zeus to join our camp and form a joint army to help him find a way to free himself from his bondage around the world..."
Bang!
Gao Hou slapped his thigh and said, "I knew that the old man Mingshen must have a backup plan. Some of his subordinates are still working for him! No wonder we can't enter the world of Mingsha... It turns out that he is resisting us."
Suddenly, he was stunned.
"Hmm!? That's not right. Didn't you say before that the Hades knew he was powerless to influence the real world, and his combat power was seriously reduced. He was ridden on and shit on by your people, and then forced to accept the unequal treaty in humiliation and teach you all his skills... How come his shadow appeared in the human world again?"
Hua Qian was shocked.
It’s broken... There is a bug in the story setting!
She talked about the world background stories made up by the players themselves, as well as some plots created by fan works.
There are too many stitches, resulting in conflicts between the previous and subsequent settings!
'Damn it! The author of this article has no respect for the previous settings and changes them randomly! Otherwise, I can talk for another half an hour!'
She glanced at the name of the author of the fan fiction with hatred: Binghuo.
The personal profile is that of a failed author on a certain novel website.
"Parody is not nonsense, adaptation is not fabrication, and the author who arbitrarily changes the previous settings deserves to be eliminated!"
At this moment, after complaining about this scumbag author, Hua Qian actually remained calm.
"Oh, Hades deceived us. His weakness and his passing of skills were all fake. He actually took advantage of our trust and successfully infiltrated our organization and gained certain power."
She even wanted to fix the bug.
But after hearing this, Gao Hou also realized that he had not heard anything meaningful in the past half hour except a cool story!
He suddenly grabbed Hua Qian's body.
"You've been playing tricks on me!"
Seeing the green flame in Gao Hou's hand ignite again, Hua Qian laughed and said:
"Try boxing with your shadow!"
He tilted his head and went offline immediately!
The torture was unbearable. She could just wait for the game character to die and then revive. She didn't believe that the NPC's skill could destroy her qualification for the internal test!
After sitting up from the bed, she said to herself: "Time has been delayed for a long time. I have done everything the lord asked. I hope his fighting power can turn the situation around..."
The moment she went offline, she saw the shadow behind Gao Hou... who had already stood up.
Gao Hou, who was standing on the wall of Colossus City, was holding Hua Qian, who was as dead as a pig. No matter how hard he tried, she didn't respond at all. It was just like every time he used his 5cm long gun to poke a bar socialite, the other party was the same...
"Damn it! Are you laughing at me too!?"
Green flames surged, and Hua Qian's head exploded from the inside out. She completely lost her life force, but she didn't make a sound until she died.
"What a tough woman, she can actually withstand the burning of the soul... And what did she mean by boxing with the shadow just now?"
The next second, a shadow covered him from behind!
He suddenly stiffened, and every muscle in his body felt a fatal crisis!
My hair stood up!
His many years of training and combat experience made him shout out loudly without any hesitation:
"Secret Technique! Evil Spirit Possession!"
Suddenly, countless ferocious spirits flew out of his code, with black hair entwined around Gao Hou's body!
boom!
An extremely thick bolt of lightning exploded from behind Gao Hou, accompanied by icy gale, blizzard, and tsunami!
Ahhh~
All the virtual spirits in Gao Hou's body screamed together, then turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared into the air. Gao Hou was knocked away, but was not seriously injured. The virtual spirits just now helped him block most of the damage from this attack.
"What a pity... If the life-tampering critical hit was triggered, it would be killed instantly."
Shadow Guard 1 was floating slightly in the air, with a huge dark cloud covering his head. He looked a little small outside the pink cloud curtain brewing over the Colossus City, but the wind was surging inside, constantly blowing the Doomsday Divine Punishment Array.
You can vaguely see three elves dancing in the dark clouds.
After being promoted to the fourth level, the Shadow Guard has another feature: concealment.
It can hide quietly in the shadows of other people, and it is difficult for people of the same level to detect it without reconnaissance skills!
Cheng Shaofeng's three shadow guards had arrived for a while. After secretly making some arrangements, they showed up to attack!
Currently, Shadow Guard 1, codenamed 'Lightning King', directly unleashed all his damage, hoping to kill Gao Hou instantly while his mind was distracted by Hua Qian, but unfortunately the opponent's sixth sense and secret ball saved his life.
"But this is your last secret ball... I'll see what you do next time."
"Enemy attack!"
At this time, the Crusader Iron Knights all reacted and turned their staffs towards him.
Shadow Guard of the Lightning King: "Come and have a taste of my lightning storm!"
He opened his hands, the wind blew violently, and the thunderclouds shone!
The ultimate magical power from the fourth level is unfolding!
Boom boom boom!
Multiple forces such as thunder and lightning, cold currents, strong winds, and tsunamis burst out!
Wind strike that exceeds the level limit + Wind Demon + Storm (Wind Demon's expanded skill) + Tsunami (Constellation skill) work together!
There are also auxiliary skill enhancements such as the equally unlimited Mind Focus and Fire Spells that increase intelligence and energy.
A giant thunderstorm launched an indiscriminate attack centered on Shadow Guard 1!
Dozens of Iron Knights were killed instantly!
"God's punishment! Destroy and kill!"
Gao Hou's voice came from under the city wall. As the formation turned, the pink clouds in the sky aimed at Shadow Guard 1. A huge chaotic energy was pointed at Shadow Guard 1's head like a spotlight.
Countless pink lightnings are launched!
Pah pah pah~
Different from the golden lightning in the rolling dark clouds of the wind storm, this pink lightning tore the sky into a broken mirror, and the center of the crack pointed to Shadow Guard 1!
"Fuck! So strong!"
The dark cloud of Shadow Guard 1 lasted for only 3 seconds before it completely dissipated and was shattered into a ball of chaotic energy.
"Wind Walker!"
“Ignore the pain!”
Shadow Guard 1's speed increased by 3 times. His body energy gathered into a thin film covering the outside of his body, and he ran away directly!
Pa pa pa pa pa~
Countless pink lightnings were chasing behind Shadow Guard 1, but he was so fast that only a small part of them could hit him. However, the full level +1 of ignoring pain could reduce his damage by 65% in a short period of time!
The skill of Tampering with Life also constantly provided him with prompts, allowing Cheng Shaofeng to always walk in the position with the least lightning and avoid the opponent's multiple predictions.
It seemed as if the goddess of fate was taking care of him.
When he was almost dead, his indomitable will was triggered, and he recovered half of his state immediately, quickly putting distance between himself and the Iron Knights of the Crusaders.
The opponent's Doomsday Divine Punishment Formation has a shortcoming, which is... its movement speed is extremely slow, and it cannot catch up after Shadow Guard 1 escapes from the range.
Gao Hou walked up to the city wall and gathered his iron knights again.
"This person is a fourth-level professional, and is likely one of the other party's brains! Now that he has been severely damaged by us, he will definitely not come back in the short term..."
"We need to send someone to find him and bring him back!"
"I have a feeling that we'll learn more if we catch him!"
In the team, two men wearing steel masks said, "Let's go and get him back, brothers."
"Thank you, Elder..."
Gao Hou bowed slightly.
The two Iron Knights left the city wall, and Gao Hou counted the damage they had just suffered.
18 people died and 25 were injured.
"Damn it! This guy has the same talent for concealment as Nightblade..."
But when they were counting, they didn't notice that there was a huge, ownerless hellhound in the middle of their team.
The hellhound slowly ran to the densest area of the crowd.
Blood and tears flowed from his eyes, energy flashed all over his body, and a breath of destructive fire burned.
boom!
!
Hellhound's innate skill - self-destruction.
The two elders who had just left turned around suddenly and saw a small mushroom cloud floating on the city wall.
"What the hell! Whose hellhound exploded?!"
"This power... must be from an extremely powerful summoner! We don't have such a person in the team this time!"
"Could it be... a ghost?!"
Shadow Guard 1 turned back and smiled as he walked away: "The power of the level 17 limit-breaking hellhound's self-detonation is enough for them to handle!"
The hellhound's self-destruction caused chaos among the people on the city wall.
The aura of the Divine Punishment Array was disordered, and there were faint signs of damage, but the next moment, several masters took action and threw multiple objects into the array, starting to mend and repair it, but it seemed that it would be difficult to continue attacking in a short time.
At this time... the fully armed Shadow Guard 3 swaggered up another city wall on his hellhound.
When a Crusader Iron Knight saw the Hellhound, he instinctively asked, "Huh? Who is this... friendly soldier from? His appearance is a bit... sharp."
Cheng Shaofeng was wearing a counterattack suit, with a shield as tall as a person and three blunt weapons hanging on his body, and five long swords inserted in the gaps between the spikes.
"Friendly troops! This is an enemy attack!"
An Iron Knight reacted and attacked Shadow Guard 3.
Shadow Guard 3 jumped off the Hellhound, lay down directly, and covered himself with the shield.
"You guys fight first, I'll take a nap~"
The Iron Knights:
As Shadow Guard 3 activated his skill, a scorching heat appeared, and everyone around him was burned by the sacrificial flame. The flame became particularly violent due to the bonus of his super high intelligence!
The sacrificed life also greatly increased his fire resistance and physical resistance!
Circles of flames appeared out of thin air with Shadow Guard 3 as the center!
“Ah~”
"ah!"
“Ahh~”
The people around them screamed due to the burns. Although the iron mask has the dual functions of defense and showing off, but... it conducts heat too much!
It suddenly became extremely hot, burning off a layer of my face skin.
Cheng Shaofeng is just like the ground-walking Lee Sin, releasing skills one after another, completely mindless operation.
"Rock Armor~"
"Entwined vines~"
"..."
Cheng Shaofeng's body and shield were integrated into one by the two skills, and an unbelieving iron knight riding a hellhound kicked him hard.
Pah pah pah pah~
After being stabbed by the armor spikes three times and whipped by the vines five times, he fled in panic.
Shadow Guard 3 has not lost any health.
"What a terrifying melee defense! But that's all... Don't forget! We are the Crusaders who are best at magic. We just need to stay away from him and cast our strongest spells against him!"
Shadow Guard 3: “Oh?”
"Spinning weapon~"
"Sword Control Technique~"
Three big axes and five long swords flew out from Shadow Guard 3...
Iron Knights:
