Chapter 90 Target, Taimo Highlands!

After taking a short rest at the entrance of the fourth floor, we carefully stepped into the fifth floor. Sure enough, as Dhruv said, the fifth floor is simply a sea of ​​monsters. There are a group of monsters in almost every room.

It makes it difficult for us to move forward.

Although the journey was difficult, we still looked forward to it and headed towards the most active locations of the Countess. What was exciting was that we encountered two elites and four bosses during the process, although we only exploded

Some potions and gold coins, but this is a sign that the countess is still alive, because the elite monsters and small bosses take a long time to regenerate. If the countess is killed recently, they will not be spared. Absolutely not

May appear so frequently.

Soon, we were approaching the end of the fifth floor. At this time, Dhruv stopped and said to us with a serious look: "If the Countess is still alive, she should be in the last room, so from now on

First, we need to clear out all the monsters in front of us, leaving no one behind, so as not to attract them when there is a melee with the Countess."

We nodded in understanding, and the next journey was even more difficult. Even several groups of ghosts led by elite monsters were annihilated due to our careful planning and arduous fighting. Fortunately, this journey was not

Not long after, after a few hours of bloody struggle, we finally arrived at the last room.

It is said to be a room, but in fact it should be called the hall, because it is much larger than all other rooms. We approached the hall lightly and peeked from the door. A fishy smell came over and greeted us.

What he saw in his eyes was a shocking scene.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge pool. The pool is not filled with water, but with thick blood. It is like boiling water. Blood bubbles are constantly rising one after another, exuding a strong bloody stench. Above the blood pool

There are even some broken limbs floating around, which makes people think at a glance who the blood in the pool belongs to - how many people must be killed to fill such a large pool of blood?

What shocked me even more was that several monsters I had never seen before were standing next to the blood pool with ferocious faces, holding a corpse in one hand and a big knife in the other hand, and swung it several times.

Like beheading an animal, the limbs and body parts of the corpse were cut off, and the bright red blood that still retained the heat of death spurted out and sprinkled on the blood pool. Next to them, there were several piles of corpses.

Among the corpses were young children, old men with sallow faces, and women with fair skin. Their expressions were fearful and ferocious, and their unblinking pale eyes were clearly expressing their hatred for fate. Above the hall, sitting at the end of the hall

At the top, he looked indifferently at the blood pool prepared by his subordinates, with his eyes shrouded in black air. I don’t know what he was thinking, but she was our target this time—the Countess.

I have long heard that the countess went crazy and bathed in blood in order to maintain her youth and appearance. I originally thought that others were exaggerating, but when I saw this thrilling scene and listened to the ferocious and proud laughter of those monsters

,we are all shocked.

"hateful……"

I clenched my fists tightly, my eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and my teeth were clenching. I wanted to rush forward immediately and cut those monsters into pieces. Dhruv and Marton were not much better. The kind-hearted Yi

Hana shed tears, lowered her head and couldn't bear to watch this human tragedy anymore, and clenched her fists.

Dhruv, who was always calm and steady, was the wisest. He reacted promptly to this sad and infuriating scene. He gently patted our shoulders to signal us to calm down. With his reminder, we also woke up one after another.

, the eyes lacked the maddening impulse, but added a bit of ecstasy. The fist in his hand never put down. As soon as he gave the order, he immediately rushed forward and chopped those damn monsters into pieces, even if they were

The person is already dead, and we will never allow this group of rubbish to continue to desecrate the body in front of us.

The plan has been made for a long time. Those monsters are called Dark Sneakers. Just by hearing the name, you can tell that they are not good things. However, as monsters evolved from the best evil hunters, their combat power is quite good.

, coupled with the status of the boss's followers, their strength has been improved again, and they are no worse than small boss-level monsters.

Seeing that the dark attackers were trying to grab the remaining bodies, the four of us rushed inside with a "swipe" sound. Amidst the countess's angry shouts, the battle began.

According to the original plan, first was Dhruv. He stepped on the fire resistance aura and faced the Countess. Level 1 resistance or aura +20% fire resistance (actually it is 52% in the game). Now his fire resistance has reached

A little over 60, the countess' sea of ​​fire no longer poses much of a threat to him.

The three of us, together with the ghost wolves, pounced on the four dark attacker followers. Ihana even summoned the poisonous flower vine, and I also transformed into a bear. We must kill these four in the shortest possible time.

Get rid of the garbage.

Marton's martial arts skills, my sure-killing bear's paw, Ihana's transformation into a werewolf in the shortest time, and the ferocious attacks of five ghost wolves. After experiencing the scene just now, the three of us did not stay any longer.

Hands, anger has surrounded them. Now, even if they have the strength of elite-level monsters, they are definitely not our opponents, let alone just a level with the small boss.

After a while, the four followers fell down under our surging attack. We didn't have time to see what they exploded. We immediately turned around, and the battle between Dhruv and the countess was going on fiercely.

Dhruv is indeed the most solid one among the four of us. Although his ability is not the strongest, his fighting style is definitely the most stable and practical. He takes one step at a time and is never greedy, but he will never let anyone go.

Opportunity, his mission is to hold back the countess, so now he is not in a hurry to fight head-on with the countess, but he will inevitably step on the sea of ​​​​fire from the countess, and he is also calmly trying to resist the countess with his shield.

attack, and then forced Earl Nian out of the flames little by little. His calm and calm style made him the most outstanding among us.

However, although the countess's physical damage is not high, she is still a mini-boss. Her attacks are stronger than those of elite-level monsters, and her sea of ​​fire does no damage to Dhruv. Otherwise,

Dhruv doesn't have to force her out of the sea of ​​fire to fight again, and the biggest difference between the two is that the countess' life is much higher than that of Dhruv. So if we don't reinforce her in time, Dhruv will also

It won't last long.

However, the time it took us to kill the followers was faster than Dhruv expected. At this time, when he saw us rushing up, he was happy and obviously breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the battle just now was not easy for him.

.

The next step was easy. Dhruv first forced the countess out of the sea of ​​fire. Then the three of us and the five wolves rushed forward. Dhruv took the opportunity to retreat, quickly put on a prayer halo, and then drank a few bottles of life.

Potion, take a breath and wait for life to return.

When the countess's sea of ​​fire had almost cooled down, he added more. Once the countess cast her sea of ​​fire, the three of us immediately dispersed. Then Dhruv forced her out of the sea of ​​fire, and so on, and he beat the countess hard.

No temper.

After this continued for a while, the Countess was already out of breath, and her health was obviously running low. Seeing her appearance, our expressions turned from relaxed to serious. When Dhruv pushed the Countess again

When the count was forced out of the sea of ​​​​fire, this time we did not rush forward. Instead, I transformed into a bear and stopped the countess tightly in front, while the other three people spread out and held the weapons in their hands.

The weapon was changed to a bow one after another, and with arrows in hand, arrows were suddenly shot at the countess continuously. Not one of them missed the target. I was envious of her precise archery skills.

After a while, the countess was already shaky, and then Dhruv suddenly shouted: "Wu, get out of here quickly."

I followed the instructions and immediately turned around. I didn't have time to run away, so I had no choice but to pounce and rush out in embarrassment.

The countess seemed to know that she was not going to die soon, and let out a long hiss of grief.

"Lord Andariel..."

The sound was painful and sad, which made me startled slightly. Then, three arrows hit her chest accurately, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

"boom……"

It seemed like a long time had passed, or it seemed like it was just an instant. The countess' body exploded like Bishubsu in the cold field when he was about to die. The strong flames threw my body into the air just now.

I threw it out hard, and my back suddenly felt like a burning wave. After I transformed into a bear-man, I weighed a ton and was blown out more than ten meters. I rolled several times, and finally

He hit the wall hard and his eyes were filled with stars.

This is the most disgusting thing about monsters with flame-enhanced attributes. There is a 50% chance of self-destruction when they die. Among all people, I have the most health points, the highest defense after transforming into a bear, and the best archery skills.

Shit, who else could I use as a shield? Even I feel like I was born with this fate. How sad.

My back was probably bloody and bloody from the explosion. I stood up a little and it was already in terrible pain. Look at my health points. Sweat, more than 100 points were blown off. That was one-fifth of what I am now.

Ah, if it were the assassin Marton, he would be killed right now.

Dhruv walked up to me and saw how I was grinning. He couldn't help but smile and pat my waist, jokingly saying: "Young man, you are quite strong and you can still jump around."

"Uncle Dhruv, you seem pretty good, why don't you give it a try next time." I rolled my eyes, but forgot that I was still in the bear-man state. That expression was so funny that it made the other three people laugh.

When I got up, I couldn't help but smile when I saw their happy faces, and the originally depressing atmosphere in the hall suddenly became happy.

After canceling the transformation, she and everyone rested for a while, and then Yuihana began to count the harvest. Just a moment later, she suddenly shouted happily.

"Ah, the attendant actually dropped a saber, my God!"

Everyone gathered around to take a look, and sure enough they found a white saber from the entourage. Although it was no longer a valuable item to everyone, it was quite rare to see it exploded from an ordinary monster.

What depresses me the most is that this follower was not killed by me, but by Marton. He looked like a villain who had succeeded. When he looked at me, he clearly said: Look, you can do it too.

I just exploded some potions and gold coins. Although it better concealed my explosion rate problem, why am I still so unhappy? Ahhhh!!

Then, the countess gave us another surprise. Although she was not killed by me in the end, she still generously exploded two pieces of blue equipment, a rune, and a broken sapphire. Some potions and some gold coins.

.

One of the two pieces of blue equipment was a wrist blade specially designed for assassins. Seeing Ma Dun’s beaming smile, the three of us were immediately speechless - could today really be his lucky day?

"By the way, why don't we fill up this blood pool? It looks disgusting."

After cleaning the battlefield, I looked at the disgusting blood pool and said, this suggestion was immediately approved by Marton and Ihana.

"No. We can't fill up this blood pool." Dhruv suddenly stopped us.

"Even if it is filled in, the next time the countess is reborn, she will only kill more lives to fill the blood pool. This is meaningless at all. I really mean this. It is better to work hard and enter the third world as soon as possible, and will

The Countess’ real killing.”

Uh... We didn't expect this. What Dhruv said makes sense. Even if we do this, it will only lead to more innocent lives being killed. After thinking about it, we will no longer insist on it and look at it with disgust.

After taking one last look at the blood pool, Marton and I spit into it and quickly left this hellish place.

Before leaving, I suddenly thought of the countess's cry before she died. The name she shouted at that time must have been Andariel. The voice sounded strange and cold. Could it be that the two of them had an affair? I

As an otaku, my soul suddenly started to spin at high speed.

At the entrance to the fifth floor, we unexpectedly met another team. This team was composed of five job transferees, including an Amazon, a wizard, two barbarians and a paladin. Their equipment was very sophisticated.

, not much worse than us. You can tell at a glance that they are a high-level elite team.

When they saw us coming back from inside, their faces suddenly changed. However, the expected bloodshed did not happen. A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the leading paladin, but then he patted Dhruv on the shoulder cheerfully:

"Dhruv, it seems we lost this time."

"Haha, Thacker, long time no see, we just happen to be one step ahead of you."

The two people actually knew each other, but think about it, there are only one or two thousand career transferees in Rogge Camp. It is not surprising that the senior job transferees are familiar with each other. Judging from their appearance, they might still be in the training camp together.

Where are my classmates and friends?

The paladin named Thacker glanced at us, and finally set his sights on me.

"Dhruv, I didn't expect that your team would recruit another master. Why don't you introduce it to us?"

Thacker said in slight surprise, generally speaking, teams that have already been formed rarely allow others to join because they already have a tacit understanding with each other, especially an elite team like Dhruv."

"He is an excellent Druid, his name is Wu Fan, I believe you have heard of it." Dhruv patted my shoulder and introduced to Thacker with a smile.

"Is it the lone Druid Wu Fan who, like Lady Sharna, has been practicing alone till now? It's a pleasure..." Thacker was obviously taken aback, and then said with approval.

"Mr. Thacker, you're flattering me. Compared to you, I'm still far behind." I shook hands with him and laughed too. If we are of similar strength (it seems like this), we will always compare.

Easy to communicate with.

Because the fifth floor has been swept away by us, Thacker and the others are not interested in picking up the leftovers anymore. After everyone chatted for a while, they divided into two groups and went home. As for why they had to walk separately, because generally speaking, taking risks

It is not advisable to form a team with too many people. Firstly, the purpose of training will be lost, and secondly, the experience will be much less.

By the time the four of us returned to the teleportation point, almost ten days had passed. The rich experience inside made me almost reach level 16. Fortunately, I deliberately killed fewer monsters in the last few days so that I was not exposed.

An attribute that increases your own experience value by 4 times.

In the teleportation station in the black wasteland, in that exquisite and luxurious room, the four of us sat on the floor. After filling our stomachs, Ihana began to take out the harvest one by one. Well, yes, it’s time to divide the spoils.

.

I gained a lot from this trip to the tower, but most of them were some potions and gold coins. These are easy to share, just one for each person, but then. A few pieces of whiteboard equipment, two pieces of blue equipment, and one piece of equipment.

The blue leather armor, the other one is the wrist blade used by the assassin, and the rune the Countess exploded, turned out to be the No. 8 rune Ral.

ral

Weapon: Increases fire damage by 5-30 points

Equipment: Fire resistance 30%

Shield: Fire resistance 35%

Requires level 19

There are a few broken gems at the end.

These items are relatively precious, especially the No. 8 rune and the assassin's wrist blade.

Marton undoubtedly chose the wrist blade, and for this, he had to take out a few more broken gems as a price.

I picked the runes without even thinking about it, and took out 4 broken gems as compensation. As for how they distribute the rest, it has nothing to do with me. We are not in the same team, just

They were just temporarily assembled to kill the Countess.

After everyone distributed the spoils, everyone was silent for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a bit wrong. I muttered secretly, and finally Dhruv stood up first and reached out to me: "Wu, although I know it is impossible, but

I still want to represent our team and invite you to join us, fight together, live and die together, and share adversity."

Looking at the sincere and hot eyes of the three people, I was moved and sighed slightly in my heart. In fact, such an excellent team is really rare, and I also admire the characters of these three people, but it is a pity.

.This is impossible.”

But at this moment, seeing their eager eyes, I didn’t know what to say. I really couldn’t refuse, but I definitely couldn’t agree. Seeing that I could not say a word after opening my mouth for a long time, Dhruv

Suddenly he smiled heartily "haha" and patted me on the shoulder: "Come on, Wu, there is no need to explain anything. We have already expected this result. After all, if you were interested in joining the team, you would have been pulled by others.

No matter what, it's not our turn, I think you must have your own difficulties."

Although they were disappointed, they did not have any grudges because of it. That night, the kind-hearted Ihana had already treated me like a younger brother and kept explaining to me some basic things to pay attention to during my experience - they discovered my strength

Although he is very strong, his basic skills are a bit weak. Whether it is close encounters with enemies or some tiny details of training, they are not very clear. In fact, this is not my fault. After all, I am not like them, who have gone through ten years of training in the training camp.

After years of training, it’s pretty good to be able to do this.

Marton, on the other hand, was gesturing with his newly acquired wrist blade, muttering that he would soon surpass me, and one day he would even reach the realm of the legendary Assassin God Nataya. Well, I have a role.

It's good to be determined, but by the time you reach that level, maybe I'll have surpassed the strongest person, Tarasha, hoho...

That night, we chatted all night and didn't fall asleep until late at night. Early the next morning, Dhruv and the others said goodbye to me and stepped into the teleportation station heading to the first floor of the prison, looking at the empty teleportation station.

I couldn't help but suddenly realized that I still didn't like the feeling of being alone...

It wasn't until I walked out of the castle and summoned Xiaoxue and Lazy Crow again that I came out of my depressed mood - how could I be lonely when I had them around me? I turned over and climbed on Xiaoxue's back, feeling connected with each other.

Next, Xiaoxue roared excitedly, spread out his steps, and ran quickly in the black wilderness. The lazy crow was dangling in the air. When he was tired from flying, he stood on my shoulder to comb his feathers. He could not rest for a moment.

stop.

Under my command, Xiaoxue ran straight to the west - that will be my last stop. The once glorious monastery stood high on the Taimo Highlands, with military camps, prisons, cloisters, and even

Andariel's lair, the cemetery, is all there, as well as Lal and the others, who seem to be hanging around in Taymor Highlands now. Thinking of this, I couldn't help shouting excitedly, and Xiaoxue speeded up in understanding.
Chapter completed!
