"Brother A'ao, happy birthday." It's A'ao's 20th birthday. There is no celebration, just a smile and blessing from Lu Cuo before putting on his helmet to fight. Six years of life and death have changed not only A'ao, but also Lu Cuo.
She changed from lively and active to more stable and silent, but no matter how much pain and failure she encountered, at most she only needed to cry softly in Ao's arms for a while, and she would be able to regain her sunshine and show a beautiful smile to Ao.
"Originally I took care of Lu Cuo as my younger sister, but over the past six years I have gradually begun to admire her. Her never-fading smile has become the sun in my heart, keeping it from completely falling into darkness. And her occasional crying
It can truly break my heart. I don’t know how she did it, I only know that I can die to protect this smile.” - Ao Ao
Ayao's movement of putting on the helmet stopped abruptly.
"Thanks."
He didn't know how to answer Lu Cuo. He didn't have the ability to make Lu Cuo live a happier life. On the battlefield, he often even had to rely on Lu Cuo's support. After dying more times, Lu Cuo's magician monster became unbearable.
As useless as she was at the beginning, the only way for Oshiro to respond to her is to stage perfect team battles with zero damage one after another with her. Even this kind of wish is often difficult to realize. Combat experience and awareness often
It cannot completely offset the gap in cultivation and even equipment, not to mention that there are many strong opponents who have rolled through mountains of swords and seas of fire. Complete victories and complete defeats are always rare, and miserable victories and narrow defeats are the norm.
After going online, Oshio habitually looked around him.
There was no sign of Lu Cuo.
"Not online?" A Lao took off his helmet, just in time to see Lu Cuo take off his helmet and look at him.
"You're not online?" Lu Cuo asked.
"I got on and didn't see you." "Me too, what's going on?" "Let's try again."
The result is the same. Both of them are indeed online, but they cannot find each other.
"It seems that something big happened today." Ao took off his helmet, "We didn't appear in the same place, which is unprecedented."
"What should I do?" "Go online again and look around to see where the brush has been."
The maze is three-dimensional and multi-layered, and very complex. But after six years, the entire road map has basically been clearly imprinted on the two people's minds. The reason why it is basically said is because there will be changes from time to time - this maze is not
It's not dead, but there are some small adjustments every now and then, and there are no fixed rules, and it is very arbitrary. This is not only them, but also the outside world has taken it as common sense. There have been several closures in the past six years, and the routines are similar.
Just find the BOSS that spawns and kill it. But closing the door is always a scary thing, because once the BOSS was hidden very secretly, and the unlucky people inside were locked up for more than half a year before they found the BOSS. During this period, various reasons
There were heavy casualties, and none of them were humanoid when they came out. And the treasures revealed by the BOSS were basically divided up by the big forces. Most of the people didn't have enough soup to drink, and they didn't want to be locked up inside.
Atsuo appeared in a hall. "I haven't seen this hall... I haven't seen it before. It seems to be a new venue." Just as he was about to look around, he heard the sound of someone talking, so Atsuo hurriedly found a bunker to hide.
"How can I be so unlucky that the BOSS is closing just in time!" Following a woman's angry complaint, several people's footsteps entered the hall. Ao didn't dare to show his head and listened quietly.
An old man said: "Stop complaining and focus on finding the BOSS. If you find it, report it to the people in the guild and you can still drink some soup."
"Yes." Then the footsteps dispersed. Oshao screamed in his heart. The number of bunkers in this hall is limited. Even if he can keep changing bunkers, the noise he makes when moving is inevitable, which will inevitably arouse suspicion and search carefully. Sooner or later, there will be
found.
"Since you can't hide, just hit and run away." Oshiro changed his strategy and began to actively approach a person. Looking at the shadow and listening to the footsteps, Otsuo estimated the distance. Just as the man walked around the corner
In an instant, A'ao jumped up and stretched out his monkey paw to scratch the man's neck. Without checking whether he hit or not, he ran directly towards the nearest exit of the hall. However, the moment he reached the door, A'ao suddenly lost his focus.
Control of the body! He turned back involuntarily and looked at the old man who was attacked by him falling to the ground, with blood spurting out from his neck. It was certain that he would not survive. "Is my claw so powerful?" A Lao couldn't believe it.
When the woman not far away saw this scene, she was so frightened that she screamed: "Ah! It's the BOSS!" She dropped the old man and turned around and ran away.
"It turns out they are two weak chickens." Ao was disdainful. There was no need to run away now. He did some somersaults and caught up with the woman. When the woman saw that she couldn't escape, she turned around and tried her best. Ao was a monkey stealing peaches.
He actually directly removed her head. Being used to killing, he didn't think this scene was scary, but ending the battle so easily still made him stunned. "What's going on? This body...has become so strong today."
! Could it be?" Ao walked towards the exit again. Sure enough, once he reached the exit, his body would lose control and return on his own. "Let's log off and discuss it with Lu Cuo first."
A Lao took off his helmet and pulled Lu Cuo offline again: "I'm very likely to become the goalkeeping BOSS this time!"
"So that's it. No wonder they are separated. BOSS has special events. So what should we do now? Those people will definitely kill you at all costs to get out."
Oshiro thought for a few seconds and said, "Lu Cuo, do you know why BOSS has a special show?"
"This question...could it be the time three years ago?" "That's right. Three years ago, the two of us dragged the BOSS around, asking those people to search all over the world but couldn't find the BOSS. In the end, we spent more than half a year with them.
It was to facilitate our large-scale hunting during the last period when they were physically and mentally exhausted. That time, the system probably felt that we had gone too far. In the future, BOSS will have a special session, and the BOSS will only stay in the special session and cannot come out.
.This time too, whenever I try to leave the event, I will be forcibly returned by the system."
Atsuo sneered: "This time, we are going to do the opposite. You have to make a big splash, capture a person, hang him up, and attract a large number of monsters to follow you. Pretend that you are the BOSS, but you don't fight anyone.
, run away when you see someone, delaying as much time as possible. Once you die, come back immediately. This will probably take a few repetitions before they realize that you are just a cover. By the time you find me, you are already exhausted.
Then recruit the attracted monsters to my special session to help fight. With luck, I can defeat them again and severely weaken their fighting spirit. Even if they can kill me in the end this time, they will definitely be unforgettable for the rest of their lives. I swear never to do it again.
Don’t come to this damn place! From now on, the system will have to stipulate that other monsters are not allowed to enter the BOSS special event, haha.”
This crazy plan frightened Lu Cuo for a moment: "Brother A'ao, you are so powerful, this is okay."
"Hey, it's nothing. It's just a modification of the plan three years ago." "Well, then you were really good three years ago."
The so-called opening of a special session is nothing more than dismantling the surrounding maze walls and rejoining them into a hall, which will inevitably lead to changes in the path layout of the surrounding maze. As long as Lu Cuo finds a path that is different from the one in his memory, he can follow the clues and find the hall.
After waiting for three hours, Ao saw the magician Lu Cuo running in in a panic, followed by four people chasing him. "It's the first time I see a monster that can run away. There must be something fishy!" The four soldiers behind him chased into the hall.
, A'ao rolled into the center of the four people with a somersault. Under Lu Cuo's dumbfounded gaze, A'ao performed a dazzling performance. In just a few seconds, three people were splashed with blood, and the fourth person was killed by A'ao's sharp monkey's paw.
He grabbed his neck, his eyes were horrified, and he didn't dare to move. Lu Cuo then stepped forward and saw that she was an old woman, she looked like an officer, and she had a military emblem on her chest, which should be from the Jingjing Army. Of course A Lao didn't care.
As for her identity, he is the big BOSS here! All he needs is a bait. Lu Cuo dug out ropes, long sticks and other objects from the corpses, tied up the old woman, hung her on the stick, and blocked her mouth.
After completing the kidnapping, he put the stick on his shoulder and hung the old woman up high. The poor man didn't know what these monsters were going to do with her. He just felt that he must have discovered some terrible secret, but it was a pity that he had no life to tell it.
.
Lu Cuo hung the old woman in front of many monsters, and the monsters chased her. They were very principled in their pursuit. They only focused on the old woman and would never hurt Lu Cuo. Of course, Lu Cuo couldn't let the bait go like this.
He died, so he wandered around and dealt with the monsters, and the monsters followed Lu Cuo around tirelessly, accumulating more and more like a snowball, and soon attracted people's attention.
"Did you hear that there is a monster leading a large group of monsters on a rampage? It's so arrogant." "It must be the gatekeeper BOSS this time. This time the BOSS actually summoned his subordinates. It seems that the BOSS battle is not easy to win.
"This is not a bad thing. In the past, everything the BOSS exploded was swallowed up by them. If you can't defeat it this time, come and beg us. You must give us some rewards, right?" "Not necessarily, those big warlords are always here.
They brought enough supplies and spent a year and a half with us, but in the end they still asked us to beg them." "Is it so scary?"
Lu Cuo did lead the monsters around, but it was not a rampage. On the contrary, she ran away when she saw people. The battle was left to the monsters who followed her. She would never participate in the battle. This was quickly discovered by people. "This
The BOSS this time was very cunning. He knew he couldn't defeat so many of us, so he ran away when he saw us and let those ordinary monsters deal with us. It was very annoying." Several officers in the permanent military camp of the Aimu Federation held a strategy meeting.
"It seems that we can't be reckless this time, we have to use some strategy. I think we have to contact several other companies and set up a pocket formation so that the BOSS has no way to escape." "That makes sense."
8 hours later.
"What's going on? Didn't the BOSS break into the group of adventurers and be hacked to death? Why didn't the door open?" "Something's wrong. The treasure that the monster exploded was obviously not of the BOSS's level, and which BOSS have you ever seen?
Being hacked to death by those individual adventurers? This strength is obviously not BOSS level." "Report! The patrol reported that the monster was found walking around with a group of monsters again!" "The BOSS is resurrected? No, I understand.
Yes, that monster should be the BOSS, but this time it is more disgusting. You have to kill it many times before it is successful. The rewards are scattered in the drops of each kill." "Well, it makes sense."
This analysis has devastated both parties.
"What's going on? Don't those people have any brains? They treat you as the BOSS after so many times?" Otsuo was pulled offline by Lu Cuo again to report the news of his death. Some people couldn't believe it. You must know that Lu Cuo also had a mother-in-law who was happy in the middle period.
, but after three days of fierce fighting, my eyes were still bloodshot.
"I don't know either. They killed me several times, but every time they saw me they still excitedly said that the BOSS is coming and kill them. Then I died, resurrected, and went to your place to kidnap people and attract monsters.
I'm really tired..." Atsuo was not idle either. In order to ensure enough bait, he had to capture and kidnap as many people as possible who entered the hall alive. Sometimes he had to rely on Lu Cuo to lure people in. The kidnapped people were all
I suddenly realized that I understood A Lao's trick. These people must not be allowed to escape, or they must be killed to silence them, otherwise the plan will be exposed. But they cannot kill them all, because dead people cannot attract monsters. This requires
Having grasped the situation, Oshi was also dizzy from exhaustion. Only then did he realize that he had missed something. Three years ago, he and Lu Cuo and Lu Nao could take turns to run the BOSS, so they could delay it for more than half a year; but this time it was different.
, he was restricted to the hall and could not take shifts. One person's energy is limited, how long can he deal with so many people? You must know that although Lu Cuo and Lu Nao take turns to control the body, their energy is not doubled, and
It's shared. Lu Cuo was lackluster, and it would be the same if Lu Nao was replaced.
Lu Cuo put down his helmet weakly and fell into A'ao's arms: "Brother A'ao...I really can't do it anymore...let me sleep for a while..." A'ao's heart of stone will only be melted by Lu Cuo, and now he will
He couldn't bear to let Lu Cuo work overtime anymore, not to mention that he couldn't hold it any longer.
"That's all, let's have a night's rest. If someone kills me when I'm not online, I'll be unlucky. The plan fails and brings me down. Lu Cuo is so exhausted that the gain outweighs the losses..." Otsuo thought about it this way, and gently hugged Lu Cuo.
Went back to the room to rest.
the next day.
"Reporting to the commander, the BOSS has reappeared after resting all night!" "As expected, the BOSS has not been killed yet, and the killing continues. This is already the fourth day!" "There is no other way, we can only do this, tell the soldiers to do their best.
Prepare for a protracted war."
"A powerful army should have discipline like steel, faith like the sun, and willpower like rock to cope with stormy encounters or protracted battles of deliberation - if the commander's judgment is correct." -
Phosphorus
In this way, A'ao and Lu Cuo cooperated every day and repeated this routine, causing the enemy to go through a complete change of going all out in one go and then losing three times, and their combat power was greatly reduced. The only hidden danger was that A'ao might go offline at night.
He was discovered or killed, but Oshiro seemed to have good luck, and the things he worried about never happened.
"We can't go on like this!" After seven days, the Anliang Party could no longer hold back their anger. They were not regular troops in the first place, they were more like underworld gangs. How could they stand this kind of anger? On this day, the representative of the Anliang Party was a
A shrew dressed as a gangster lady broke into the Aimu federal army camp, only to see the federal commanders were drunk and singing in karaoke:
what would you do,
if you were asked to give up your dreams for freedom?
Another officer analyzed: "I guess they may be in a hurry because they are short of supplies. We have enough supplies, so we will spend it with them. Who is afraid of whom?"
"This sounds comfortable. Yes, let them kneel down and beg us when the time comes!" So the matter ended like this.
On the night of the 8th day, Lu Nao discovered the situation: "There has finally been a change today. People from several factions did not show up. I am afraid that something is wrong."
"I should have felt something was wrong a long time ago. It took me eight days to realize that these people are all just losers. Regardless of them, we will continue to remain unchanged in response to any changes."
What is supposed to come will always come. On the 9th day, Ao Ao heard a large wave of footsteps approaching the hall. "Haha, are you finally here?" Ao Ao quickly logged off and informed Lu Cuo that with so many people, Ao Ao couldn't help but
He planned to play no more sneak attacks. Instead, he stood directly at the door and guarded the gate. Lu Cuo stabbed him in the back, leaving the opponent vulnerable from both sides. Even if he pushed hard with his strength, he still had to pay the price!
The visitor was uniformly wearing a printed uniform, and Oshiro recognized him at a glance as someone from the Xiaoxiao Guild. "There's a monster!" The members immediately put on alert as soon as they saw Oshio. However, Otsuo couldn't get out, so he couldn't take the initiative to attack.
, I can only take my time and watch there.
The members just watched a robot monkey standing at the door of the hall, wagging its head and tail, posing and looking at them, but it didn't attack.
"What should we do?" "Are there so many of us afraid of him?"
Several brave members broke into the hall. "Flying dragon rides on the face!" Otsuo flew up and rode on someone's face.
"Ah!" The unlucky guy only had time to scream before he was shot.
"Back off!" Several other people quickly exited the hall, while Oshio continued to watch.
"It seems that this monster can't leave the hall?" "It seems so." "Then let's not mess with it, it's too powerful." "No, it can't leave the hall, and it's very powerful. Don't you think it's a bit?" "BOSS! No.
It's very possible that you're wrong! Go back and report!" "Oh no, a large wave of monsters are coming! We are surrounded!" "Kill me out! We finally found the BOSS, but we can't die here!"
Lu Cuo carefully directed the monsters, trying not to let any of them escape. But after all, the Shuxiao Guild team had a lot of people, so he still let a few escape. "I'm sorry, Brother Otsuo, two people escaped..." Offline, Lu Cuo
Sorry.
"It's okay, it'll be a matter of time. Don't be idle now. Hurry up and attract another wave of monsters. Keep harassing and intercepting them. It's best to attack their gathering points or something like that." "Okay!"
At the Chuxiao Guild Camp, a man covered in blood rushed in: "We found the BOSS!"
The words were like thunder, and soon an old man came out surrounded by everyone: "Is it true or false? Tell me in detail!"
The man cried sadly: "Sir, I can't make a mistake this time. The monster stays in a hall and cannot come out, but will be killed as soon as someone enters. It is extremely powerful. Moreover, our team just discovered the BOSS, and there are a large number of monsters surrounding it.
When we came up, the whole army was almost wiped out! Only two people from our team escaped, and the other one died of excessive blood loss on the way!"
The old man nodded: "So it is indeed the BOSS. Let's talk about it and get together. The two of you go and notify the other companies to come quickly for support. The others will follow me and set off first. Lead the way!" The main force of Shuxiao Guild was dispatched.
Lu Cuo led the group of monsters in circles around the hall, not afraid of not being able to intercept anyone. "Sir, there is a large group of monsters coming from behind!" Behind the main force of Shuxiao Guild, Lu Cuo led the group of monsters to rush towards them.
The old man was not confused at all, and sneered: "Usually he runs away when he sees us, but this time he actually took the initiative to fight. It seems that he is afraid that we will find the real BOSS. Get ready to fight!" The members who were a little panicked now calmed down and stood ready.
Zhan. The old man watched Lu Cuo let the monsters rush forward, but he ducked back and said with a smile: "This monster is really naughty, but it's a pity that in front of me, it's a small trick!" His eyes were fixed on Lu Cuo, and the old man stepped forward and killed him.
When he entered a group of monsters, ordinary monsters couldn't stop him. Lu Cuo had no time to escape, and was caught by the old man and torn into pieces. "Humph, I could still catch you when you ran away when you saw someone, but now you are here to fight, how can you?"
