Chapter 374 Team Up Offense Exposure
Late at night, deep in the Black Shadow Desert, near the black tower placed by Wang Zhifan.
A dozen strange gray-black birds suddenly descended from the night sky of the same color, and landed collectively in front of the Black Tower.
As soon as these strange birds landed on the ground, they transformed into famous players, showing expressions of fatigue and curiosity.
"Little brother, thank you very much for helping us with your props! But it consumes too much!"
"Thank you so much!"
"I guess that painting is at least an excellent item!"
…
An Asian man who looked to be in his forties was the first to speak, expressing his gratitude to the Xia player with a Chinese character for sharing the power of the item with everyone, causing other players to express their thanks one after another.
"It's just a small help! Don't take it to heart! Helping each other is the basic rule in the survival book! As for the high consumption, there is nothing we can do, because it takes a long time for us to come all the way, and my landscape paintings use The longer it takes, the greater the consumption will be!”
The player with the Chinese character face immediately answered these people. His face also showed a bit of fatigue, but his eyes were much more relaxed than when he was besieged before. This was an inevitable change after escaping.
After a brief thank you, everyone focused their attention on the black tower in front of them and the white player who was responsible for guiding the way forward.
"There are lights up there! Someone must live here! It really is a great place!"
A player first noticed the top of the black tower in front of them. It was the place that currently provided them with all the light. In this vast and terrifying desert, it seemed as precious as a lighthouse in the sea.
"Which assassin player with good skills can go up first to help explore the situation?"
Another player took the opportunity to encourage others to go up and investigate the situation. The seemingly plain suggestion was a bit uneasy and well-meaning.
Because the height of the black tower in front of them is simply a piece of cake for high-level players like them. I am afraid that the priest or summoner profession with the weakest mobility can easily climb up. But the question is, is there really no risk in this behavior?
Sure enough, no one responded as soon as he finished speaking. Everyone was either silently observing the black tower in front of them, or waiting for the player who brought them here to explain the situation, which reflected the commonality of high-level players. One, act more cautiously.
"My companion told me that this is probably a trial tower-like existence. It is divided into many layers. There are monsters on each layer, but it is not difficult to deal with. There may be water sources or food in the environmental part, which is excellent. The hiding place will not be a big problem if it lasts for a month..."
As the white player spoke, he opened his palm, and a small and ordinary black beetle appeared on it, which was the one that originally contacted the mage companion.
"I suggest that everyone enter in groups or alone, because according to the inference, people entering this tower are likely to be separated in different spaces. If everyone enters together and is concentrated in one space, it is likely to cause tension in resource allocation. "
The person then added something, causing those players who were about to enter the tower to take a look to stop in their tracks.
"Your companions have even discovered this mechanism similar to an independent dungeon? But why does this setting appear in this dungeon? This seems a bit inconsistent with the world background, right?"
A player who had already reached the entrance of the black tower turned around and asked. He seemed a little confused about the information provided by the other party.
"I'm not very clear about this...but they are coming out soon, so you can ask them directly."
After the white player finished speaking, he focused his attention on the brass door of the black tower not far in front of him and said no more words.
Two or three seconds later, under the gaze of everyone, the brass door suddenly opened, and a thin mage player and a tall and strong female warrior player walked out. They were also white, judging by their appearance and temperament. Just like that summoner.
"David, you brought so many people? It's beyond my expectation."
As soon as the thin mage walked out of the brass door, he spoke to the summoner player, with a somewhat surprised expression on his face, and then glanced at the other players.
"Little brother, this is our first meeting. Can you help introduce the situation inside the tower?"
The older player, who had previously expressed his gratitude to Guozilian for helping everyone, was the first to respond, with a standard smile on his face.
"I feel like there isn't much that needs to be introduced. You must have encountered hidden levels like this in tower climbing in previous dungeons. As long as you enter and play two levels, you will understand everything."
The thin mage immediately shook his head.
"But I suggest you enter in batches to avoid resource conflicts."
The advice he gave was the same as what he told his companions, which was to have everyone form teams and enter in batches.
But some of the players didn't believe it when they heard this, and made a skeptical voice:
"Haha... How do we know if you have no good intentions and deliberately let us disperse inside, and then be killed one by one by your ambush?"
The speaker was a thin Asian player who looked a bit cunning. Judging from his face and accent, he was most likely from the Han Kingdom, with a shrewd temperament unique to a small country.
Although what he said was not pleasant to hear, in the eyes of the players who are currently staying outside the tower, it is not impossible. In other words, everyone was worried about this and no one entered directly. After all, no player who can reach this level can really Idiot, he is all too familiar with the internal fighting in the player group.
"You can think whatever you want. Even if all of you go in together, it has nothing to do with me... David, I suggest that you try to open a separate space first, and then come out to join us..."
The thin mage was too lazy to explain in the face of doubts. He turned his head and looked at his fellow summoner and suggested.
"OK, I'll be back soon."
The white man whose profession was the swarm summoner nodded and walked towards the brass door.
When he was about to enter, a foreign player wearing a hooded black coat among the other players also wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by the tall and strong white female warrior.
"Stop! You can't go into the tower with David!"
Her attitude was very tough, but the other players understood her meaning in an instant.
To put it simply, since people who enter the tower together will be assigned to the same space, if a stranger deliberately enters the same space with you, it is almost certain that he has ill intentions, such as sneaking up behind you or something.
Especially assassin players are best at doing this kind of thing. It is difficult for other professional players of the same level to withstand their deliberate attacks, especially magic professions that are not good at close combat.
"Okay! Ma'am! Don't be nervous! I was just anxious just now. I'll wait behind!"
The player who looked like an assassin quickly stepped back two steps to respond, so as to avoid unnecessary hostility from these people.
In this dungeon, the penalty level mechanism has been lifted, and players are allowed to fight each other at will, but since everyone has only one life, this behavior with high theoretical returns is also very risky.
So if they are not sure, smart people will not start a war at will, and only a very small number of powerful and crazy lone wolf players dare to do it recklessly.
The figure of the swarm summoner player then entered the tower alone. More than ten seconds after he entered, the assassin player who wanted to enter with him was allowed to enter. Seeing this, other players began to discuss it separately, mainly discussing team building.
"I am a Lv54 Thunder Mage! Is there any melee professional willing to enter the tower with me?"
"I am a Lv58 Shadow Assassin, willing to cooperate with you."
"Okay, let's go in together later."
"Beauty, are you a summoner? Are you interested in cooperating with me, a gunner?"
"Hehe... OK... But don't shoot me in the back..."
"Oh, beauty, you are joking, how dare I, a mere gunner, do this? I'm afraid I will be torn to pieces by your summons..."
...
All the conversations were either frank or ulterior, but surprisingly, not many people chose to enter the tower alone. The reason was probably only understood by these players themselves. An internal fight was about to unfold inside the tower.
Wang Zhifan was still practicing on the top floor of the tower, but he couldn't have been unaware of so many people suddenly appearing outside the tower. He couldn't help but observe for a while, and his doubts became more and more.
"Why are there so many players again? Is my pitch-black tower really considered part of the dungeon? But the dungeon has only started for one day, the news should not be so well-informed... How did these people find me?"
He mainly didn't understand why these players had to go into the desert where he was hiding. Obviously, this area was very uninhabitable and violated the basic needs of players in the survival dungeon. It can be said that the situation was quite weird.
Of course, Wang Zhifan's misunderstanding mainly came from the lack of information. He did not go deep into the indigenous area of this dungeon to explore, and he stayed comfortably in the high tower, so he didn't understand the huge pressure other players were under in this dungeon.
It can be said that this pressure was almost full at the beginning of the dungeon. If the players hadn't known about his tower by chance, they would definitely still be running and fighting desperately.
"Maybe I should send one or two clones to explore the situation outside. It's not good to be confused all the time..."
Wang Zhifan, who was used to controlling the overall situation, couldn't help but have this idea in his mind, but considering that his current practice had reached a more critical part, he temporarily gave up the idea of controlling the clone to go out, and continued to concentrate on practicing the Wind and Thunder Stepping Heaven Art.
He was looking forward to breaking through the realm as soon as possible. Anyway, it was still early before the end of this dungeon, and there was plenty of time for follow-up exploration.
As for the new players, his attitude was the same as before. Just make sure that the basic settings of the tower were correct. No matter how they messed around in the tower, they couldn't do anything to the pitch-black tower with their abilities. The only thing that could go wrong was themselves.
When Wang Zhifan finished thinking about this issue and was about to return to practice, he suddenly found an impolite visitor outside the window.
It seemed to be a flying bird. Its round brown eyes carried human wisdom. It was hanging outside the arched window and wanted to explore the situation inside.
But there could be no natural flying birds in this desert, and Wang Zhifan had already set the pitch-black tower to a mode where the outside could not explore inside. Therefore, this uninvited little thing would never be able to find out what was going on inside. Even if Wang Zhifan had a party and sang K in it, the outside of the tower could not know anything except the lights on inside.
"Is a player using a summoned creature to test me? He's not that stupid... But any probing behavior cannot be allowed. Otherwise, how can I, the master of the tower, still have any dignity?"
Instantly, Wang Zhifan, who felt offended, reacted by letting the tower launch a powerful attack, covering the unidentified bird exploring outside his window.
So, the players under the tower soon saw a terrifying and bizarre scene:
The black tower next to them, which was originally extremely calm like an ocean lighthouse, suddenly released deep purple thunder from the top. These thunders were like the craziest thunderstorm, sweeping the second floor of the tower with terrifying momentum, and finally concentrated in front of a certain window, completely crushing a tiny existence without leaving any trace!
This process happened very quickly, but it was clear enough for everyone below to see what happened, and understood that someone had offended this mysterious black tower and incurred its anger.
"Who is being stupid! You can seek death yourself! Don't implicate others!"
The thin mage player immediately looked at all the suspicious people in front of him with a very serious face, and asked in a very annoyed tone.
"It's not me."
"Whoever wants to kill everyone, come forward!"
"Little brother, it can't be you? That flying bird looks very similar to the one in your scroll."
"How is it possible?! I didn't take out the spiritual landscape painting! And it's not my style to do such stupid things!"
...
The players were in a quarrel for a while, but no one admitted who had offended the black tower just now. No one had any clues or evidence to find out who was the culprit, so they could only let it go.
However, this episode was not meaningless. It at least proved that the black tower in front of them was as mysterious as they thought. There would be no problem in using it according to the rules, but if they had to do some offensive behavior, the consequences would be bad.
Therefore, the players didn't think about exploring the upper level of the black tower directly from the outside. After seeing the sudden appearance of the terrifying thunder, everyone chose to cherish their lives. Those players who really did whatever they wanted could not reach this level of dungeon.
When these players began to form teams to enter the black tower, the natives around the black shadow desert also had further reactions.
In a high-tech underground base, a young man in a white coat and glasses, a gloomy middle-aged man with a hooked nose, and a hunchbacked old man with silver hair were looking at a large screen in front of them.
The screen showed a spire in the desert, and some red dots could be seen moving near the spire. It was undoubtedly the scene around the pitch-black tower.
