Chapter 366: Peace and Chaos
Deep in the Black Shadow Desert, as the scorching sun gradually sets towards the desolate horizon, the temperature of this barren land gradually becomes gentle.
But as the sky continued to get darker, the desert became a bit "lively", and some ferocious shadows that were rarely seen during the day gradually emerged from the sand here and there.
Wang Zhifan was aware of the changes happening around him, but he didn't care because he was now living comfortably in his dark tower.
As a legendary item, if a mere shadow monster can destroy it, then the level system of this extraordinary game can be regarded as a joke.
"The monsters outside don't look very strong, but there are quite a lot of them. I'd better continue to stay here and practice."
At this time, Wang Zhifan was holding a wine gourd in his right hand, which contained fine wine from the world of Wuji Sect. He walked slowly to a large arched window on the top floor of the dark tower, first took a sip of wine, and then looked out at the desert situation. Make an evaluation.
In the luxurious room he was in, candles with everlasting flames distributed in every corner provided ample light. This also made the tower look like a lighthouse in the desert at night, attracting many monsters around to approach and approach. This is the only source of light and the only building from which to attack.
"Do you want to turn off the lights? This tower is probably the most conspicuous presence in this desert now..."
Wang Zhifan is not worried about the impact that the large number of black shadows outside will have on his residence, but the current situation makes him worried that it will attract other nearby beings to approach, which may cause some trouble.
But after thinking for a moment, he gave up controlling all the lights in the room and turned them off.
Because he was 100% sure that even if he turned off all the light sources in the tower, the monsters outside would continue to besiege it.
And he voluntarily hid in the darkness in order not to be seen by others. Even if his perception could fully adapt to complete darkness, he did not want to compromise like that.
After all, he didn't think it was worth going to this point. There was a large area around this area that didn't even have the slightest trace of human breath.
So in the following time, Wang Zhifan drank the wine in the gourd, and then practiced the exercises in the room on the top floor of the tower. He still chose to attack the Wind and Thunder Stepping Heaven Technique, and strive to enter the realm where the power of wind and thunder is added to the body as soon as possible.
While he was practicing steadily, other players in the same dungeon on the edge of this desert were already feeling pressure from all aspects.
In the dim sunset, a tall young man from Xia State with short hair, sunglasses and a trench coat was standing on the sand, spinning a black revolver in his hand.
The sunglasses he was wearing seemed to provide the ability to see in the dark, which allowed him to calmly look at the scene in the distance ahead and listen to the constant sounds of gunshots and bombs.
Suddenly, he turned his head slightly and looked at an empty space more than ten meters away, and said there: "How is the situation?"
A young man's voice soon came from the dim air. Judging from his accent, he must be from Xia country.
"There is a gathering place of indigenous people ahead. Several foreign players have arrived before us and are being besieged by the indigenous people."
The invisible voice answered unhurriedly.
"Haha...don't those guys know some social skills? How can a survivalist have a conflict with the indigenous people?"
The young man in Xia Guo's windbreaker, who was most likely a gunner by profession, laughed disdainfully after hearing this, expressing his contempt for those foreign players.
But the other person hidden in the air did not respond to his words. Instead, he reminded:
"Something's coming from behind you."
"I know."
The man in the trench coat immediately responded calmly, and then saw him suddenly lift the revolver over his shoulder, aim it behind his body, and pull the trigger without hesitation.
A bullet flew out of the muzzle of the revolver in an instant and accurately hit him about thirty meters behind him at an extremely fast speed. There, a ferocious black figure that had just emerged from the desert was mysteriously attached before it even approached the target. The bullet of power penetrated and turned into shattered bubbles.
"This kind of shadow monster is really annoying. I don't have many reserves of special bullets."
The young man in the windbreaker complained and walked forward.
"Let's go ahead and take a look. I'd rather hit people than continue to fight shadow monsters."
It seems that he has decided to go to the gathering place to investigate.
The sight shifted to the front. At this time, just like the description of someone who did not show up, four foreign players were relying on the cover of night, walking through the shabby iron houses, fighting a group of angry NPCs.
There were three men and one woman in total. The men included two white men and one black man. The woman was a strong white woman.
At this time, the thinnest white man among the four was arrogantly attracting the enemy's firepower. Not only did he keep making loud taunting sounds, he also used a luminous skill that made his whole body glow. Bright as a light bulb in the dark night.
"Oh! You bastards! You only have this pitiful firepower! It can't make me feel excited at all! Just like you are so powerless when facing your own woman in bed! Oh! Sorry! You may not have a woman..."
This thin white young man was wearing a white robe, and his whole body was emitting bright light. A large number of bullets and even bombs were being attacked from all directions by the angry natives around him, but none of them could cause him any harm. The damage could not even make his thin body shake at all.
While this player was trying to attract the surrounding firepower, one of his companions, a black gunman dressed in black, was secretly and efficiently destroying the enemy.
Due to the advantage of skin color and the clothes on his body, this black man seemed to be invisible in the dark night, and his agile body and silent pistol made him unnoticeable even if he launched an attack. Almost every second, an NPC in a tin house was accurately harvested by his bullets.
Another white man took a more insidious way of fighting. His body had already used some method to hide in the soil secretly. He only occasionally exposed the ground to observe the situation. Most of the time, he relied on controlling hundreds of tiny flying mosquitoes to attack the enemy.
His summoned creatures fly ten times faster than normal mosquitoes, and there is no sound when flying. Once any of them successfully bites any enemy, the enemy will be poisoned and die in just a few seconds. Its killing efficiency is the best among the four.
On the contrary, the only white female among the four had the simplest and roughest fighting style. She seemed to be a melee professional, holding two axes and moving like the wind. She was wearing heavy armor with good defensive ability. As long as the firepower was not too dense, she would choose to rush directly and chop people into pieces under the bullets. Her strong physique gave people a more powerful feeling than the other three male players.
The natives in the gathering place were very tenacious in the face of the powerful offensive of the four people. Even if someone fell down and died one after another, no one chose to surrender or escape, and continued to attack in their own way.
But they were only tenacious. So far, no one could cause effective damage to one of the players, which gradually tilted the balance of victory in this melee to the side with fewer people.
"Ah! Damn outsiders! I will tear you apart!"
At this moment, on a tin roof, a white-looking native boy suddenly appeared. His muscles swelled and bulged, and he suddenly jumped up from the roof and flew to the thin white player who was still shouting trash on the ground dozens of meters away.
His jumping ability was so extraordinary that he was full of power like a high-energy spring, and he smashed down the glowing white mage below in the form of a muscular little giant.
At this time, the firepower that was originally focused on the white mage suddenly stopped, as if to prevent accidental injury to his own people. The thin white mage suddenly changed his previous arrogant expression when facing the muscular little giant falling from the sky, and his face became serious.
"My taunting spell has been cleared! There must be another person who used tricks!"
It turned out that he understood that his real enemy was not the muscular young native who fell from the sky towards him, but someone else!
"Everyone be careful! The enemy has reinforcements!"
He instantly released an acceleration spell to allow himself to dodge the muscular boy who fell from the sky, and at the same time, he did not forget to use a loud voice to remind other companions that the situation had changed.
Then, with his keen perception as a mage, he quickly discovered that his two teammates were in trouble.
Specifically, somewhere in the darkness, the black gunman squatted in place with a painful expression on his face. Looking at his condition, he almost threw away the gun in his hand and rolled on the ground. In a tin house, the white female warrior who was invincible a second ago had sweat on her forehead and was almost unable to stand.
"Someone launched a mental attack!"
The thin white mage immediately made his own judgment.
He already understood why only these two companions encountered the change, while the summoner companion who controlled the mosquito did not react much.
Because the summoner and his professional mage belong to the same magic profession, the mental attribute has been growing in the growth path, which will have a greater advantage in resisting mental attacks.
The growth of the gunner profession and the warrior profession does not add mental attributes. If the player does not use other methods to make up for this defect, they will be restrained by mental attacks.
This is also the reason why the opponent chooses them first. The persimmon should be picked soft!
"Mental defense!"
As the situation changed drastically, the thin white mage immediately used the corresponding spell to remotely support his teammates, allowing the black gunman and the white female warrior to quickly recover from their bad state and barely fight back against several natives who took the opportunity to attack them.
Don't think that all players will fight each other crazily after the penalty level is lifted in this dungeon. In fact, that is limited to the player groups that are already hostile.
For real veteran players, having a few fixed and powerful teammates is more important than anything else. They don't want their companions to die unless it is absolutely necessary. Such a result will definitely greatly reduce their chances of clearing the dungeon in the future.
"I found him, let me deal with it."
Then the white mage heard a small sound in his ear, a mosquito stopped and flew away, it was his summoner companion who sent a message using the mosquito summon.
"Of course you deal with it, I'm being chased now..."
The thin white mage said helplessly, and then he used the second acceleration spell to avoid the muscular boy who chased him again, and used a spell that could kill the fierce enemy with one blow.
"Disintegration!"
The staff in his hand, which appeared at some point, emitted an illusory gray light, which shot straight toward the muscular boy who was chasing him. This spell had a powerful destructive property. Once it hit the target, as long as the target could not be exempted, it would be broken into tiny fragments, achieving an instant kill effect.
But just when the white player thought that the enemy was doomed, something strange happened again.
That is, the light of dissociation he fired could have hit the enemy accurately, but it turned 180 degrees in front of the muscular boy and hit him in the opposite direction!
"?!"
This horrible change immediately gave him a strong sense of impending death, because the attack of the light of dissociation was too fast, and he had no way to respond.
Bang!
Then he saw that the white robe on the white youth instantly turned into fine dust, making his clothes become another set of clothes inside, but he himself was not hurt at all.
"I actually survived... but my invisible robe..."
He suddenly remembered that one of the effects of his equipment was to resist a powerful attack, but there was only this one chance. In short, he survived temporarily, but lost a precious equipment.
"I must kill you!"
The white wizard was very angry. He was still under the effect of the acceleration spell, which made the enemy in front of him unable to catch up with him. He raised his hand and wanted to release a spell to solve the opponent, but thinking of the strange spell rebound just now, he stopped this impulse and quickly gave himself a physical defense spell to continue fleeing.
"There is something wrong with these natives! They must have special abilities!"
This is what he has clearly thought in his mind at this moment.
After encountering several attack methods that are not in line with the current copy world view, he realized that this copy world is by no means a simple technological wasteland type.
In fact, some of the monsters they encountered in the desert were a hint, but they subconsciously ignored this possibility after seeing the ordinary appearance of the natives. They didn't expect that there were such difficult opponents hidden among them, and now it was just the beginning of the copy.
At the same time, when the battle between the four foreign players and the natives encountered some obstacles, in the dark sky of the current area, a yellow-skinned man wearing glasses and a white coat was floating in the sky, looking down at everything below, with a smile on his mouth.
"Another group of outsiders has appeared... This time I must capture them alive and uncover their secrets!"
