Chapter 376: Raid and Exaggeration

In a dark palace on a certain floor inside the pitch-black tower.

A thirty-year-old wizard player from the Claw Country is dealing with the remaining monsters on this floor.

He has darker skin, and wears the iconic loose thin clothes that the Claw Country developed to adapt to the hot climate. He wears a pointed wizard hat on his head and holds a short gray-black staff in his hand.

Basketball-sized fireballs are constantly bombarding the surrounding black monsters like automatic artillery shells as he waves his hands.

At present, most of these monsters with sharp teeth and claws have been easily eliminated by him, and only the three largest individuals are still retreating and lingering in the fireball attack.

"These things are very weak... There is a flat floor on this floor, which can be used as a resting place after cleaning."

The Claw Country player maintained his offensive while thinking in his heart.

But don't think that he is in a careless state when he finds that the enemy is weak. A little unexpected situation will put him in danger.

In fact, players who can reach his level will not have such shortcomings. Although he seems to be playing casually, his defense and reconnaissance work have not been neglected at all.

Specifically, he has been maintaining a spell called "Invisible Defense", always letting go of his perception to pay attention to any movement around him, and holding a small prop in his hand, which can be used immediately when encountering danger.

Roar~ Roar~

At this time, all the ordinary black monsters in front of him have been destroyed by fireballs, and only the three largest elite monsters are still alive, but they are also burned by fireballs. They are constantly forced to flee around by the many fireballs launched by this player. They can't launch a counterattack at all, and can only roar and make meaningless threats.

However, just when this person was about to launch the final attack to destroy these elite monsters, he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, and at the same time squeezed a prop in his hand!

Quack quack!

A noisy frog call suddenly appeared in the air, and there was also a shock wave centered on this Claw Gua player!

The ripples spread out at a very fast speed, first dispersing the monster corpses on the ground around, and then generating violent ripples in the seemingly empty air, making the outlines of the two axes appear in front of the player in an instant, and approaching violently!

"There are enemies!"

The player from Claw Country was immediately shocked, and a strong flame rose from his body in an instant, covering him like a fire man. This is a defensive skill called Flame Shield.

Then he tried to dodge sideways, but the enemy's attack came too fast. Before he could completely dodge, the two axes hit his neck and broke the flame shield defense on his body.

But the axe encountered unexpected obstacles when it penetrated deeper, which greatly slowed down its power. That was the power of invisible defense.

"Death ray!"

The player who was attacked just barely survived the first round of attacks and wanted to fight back, but then he sensed a thin and vague figure in the distance. A long string of black light was emitted by the staff held by the figure, and it attacked him with a terrifying chill.

What made him even more terrified was that a large group of strange mosquitoes with a terrifying and dangerous aura had appeared beside him at some point, and fearlessly drilled into his flame shield, easily breaking through his already unstable body defense.

"Ah!!!"

The attacked player from Claw Country couldn't help but scream. He wanted to find a glimmer of hope in the desperate situation he suddenly fell into, but the enemy was too cruel and didn't give him any chance to survive.

The enemy holding two axes violently knocked the staff in his hand to the ground, and almost chopped off his hands, making it impossible for him to respond more.

The dark death ray hit his body in the blink of an eye. Even though it was blocked by the flame shield, invisible defense and the equipment on his body, he still suffered huge damage and fell into a trance.

Countless strange mosquitoes brought him the most extreme pain and torture, which was the main reason for his screams.

But this scream did not last more than two seconds and disappeared, because before this player was bitten to death by mosquitoes, he had been chopped off the neck by two axes of the enemy beside him.

"He died so soon? This person's persistence was too short, right? But it seems not difficult to understand that a mage was ambushed by three players of the same level and was killed instantly..."

Wang Zhifan, who was on the top floor of the black tower, had just observed the whole process and felt that the result was still a little beyond his expectations, because he thought that the ambushed player could deal with the three people for more than ten seconds, but in the end, he died in only three seconds. It can be said that he died very easily.

At the crime scene, the three criminals had already started to collect the spoils, and they looked quite skilled.

"This frog toy is a rare defensive prop. It looks a bit useful from the effect just now. Do you want it, David?"

The thin mage squatted down and found a small frog model from the dead player, and asked the opinions of the other two people beside him.

"I want this hat more."

The white summoner shook his head when he saw this. He bent down to pick up the pointed hat that fell near the dead man's head and put it on his head.

"Is this hat suitable for a summoner like you? Then I want his ring. I happen to be a mage."

The white mage did not argue with his companions and changed his goal.

The remaining tall female warrior seemed not to notice any of the equipment on the deceased. She took a look at it and said:

"Give me whatever you don't want, and I'll sell it all for money."

While the three were discussing, several low roars came from near them. It was the three elite monsters that had not been cleaned up by the dead before, expressing their presence.

These monsters must have been confused by the sudden scene just now, so they waited until now to make threatening sounds and remember their responsibilities.

"court death!"

The female warrior, who was already feeling a little bored, immediately became angry when she saw this. She held the double ax in her hand and planned to rush over to deal with these miscellaneous things. She was very sure that she could easily destroy these three monsters.

But what these people didn't know was that Wang Zhifan was still watching them, ready to add fuel to their smooth hunting.

"I don't have a problem with you killing other players in my territory, but if you gain something, it's reasonable for me as the host to pay some taxes, right?"

With this thought in his mind, he activated his power as the Lord of the Black Tower, causing a sudden change in the situation on that floor!

This change specifically happened to the remaining three monsters. With their strength, it was impossible for them to survive in the hands of the female player who walked past. However, Wang Zhifan temporarily loaded an upgrade module on them, giving them an instant strength. It surged dozens of times and turned into a monster of another intensity.

When the white female warrior full of fighting spirit stepped forward with a pair of axes, she suddenly discovered that the three black monsters in front of her had grown in size. From the original size of a big bad wolf, they directly increased to the size of an adult black tiger. Their bodies have grown, and their teeth and claws have become sharper. What’s even more outrageous is that they have two pairs of large bat-like wings growing on their backs. They look completely different from the species just now!

"William! David! Why did these monsters suddenly mutate!"

Seeing this unexpected situation, the female warrior immediately stopped and changed to a defensive posture. At the same time, she loudly reminded her two companions behind her who were still discussing the division of the spoils.

The first person to respond to her was the mage William. This guy's perception was probably the strongest among the three people present, so he was aware of the sudden situation and immediately raised his head to observe.

"Evacuate quickly! We don't need to provoke these monsters!"

The person then made a decision very quickly, that is, not to fight against this monster that suddenly became stronger, and running decisively to preserve his strength was the best option.

"You take the loot away! I'll contain them!"

The white summoner David also agreed with his companion's decision. He quickly stood up and spoke to the female warriors blocking the front, asking them to retreat first and take away the player's body as a trophy.

As for his means of containment, he still relies on various bugs. It can be said that it is very suitable for bugs to deal with large opponents, because it is difficult for large targets to kill the insect swarm efficiently, and the insect swarm can use their numerical advantage to cause disadvantages to them. Intermittent high damage.

After saying that, groups of turbulent flying insects emerged around his body, as if layers of thick fog surrounded him. They were all prepared by him for this hunt in advance, but the result was not in the battle just now. No matter how much it is used, it is not a waste if it is put to use now.

"Okay! Come and stop them! I'll be responsible for taking away the loot!"

The female warrior who was facing the mutated monster in front started to retreat after hearing this. She did not feel ashamed at all because of her retreat, because their team had been formed for a long time, and there was a precedent for who would be the main force in any situation. Yes, no one will be looked down upon just because they are not the main force.

Upon seeing this, the thin mage William stepped forward and handed over the trophies to the female warrior. The staff in his hand brewed a spell suitable for the current situation.

"I'll help you control it."

He said this, probably because he was preparing to restrict the actions of the mutated monsters in front, so that his companions who were summoned by the insect swarm could reduce some risks.

This set of coordination sounds a little complicated, but in fact it all happens within a second or two.

When the suddenly mutated monster, which had become many times stronger, fluttered and swooped towards the three players with big wings, the insect swarm summons immediately commanded his insect army to meet the enemy, and the thin mage William used a spell similar to an illusory chain. , try to tie up these monsters.

But what happened next caught them off guard!

I saw the big-winged monsters rising into the air suddenly opening their big mouths in mid-air, spitting out a large amount of unknown black liquid, covering most of the bugs controlled by the insect swarm mage like oil, making these tiny existences instantly Most of it was stuck together and fell to the ground like mud, temporarily losing its mobility and attack power.

Those illusory chains issued by the mage William were even more ineffective. They actually dissipated before binding the three monsters, as if they encountered some targeted force.

"Nova! Stop them! Leave the bodies alone!"

Such a situation immediately made William realize that the enemy's strength this time was more terrifying than they thought, and it was not something they could deal with casually.

The biggest evidence is that the chain skill he just used has a limit on the upper limit of the strength level of the bound target. Their direct dissipation shows that the enemy far exceeds the upper limit that this skill can deal with.

So he quickly asked Nova, the female warrior who was preparing to evacuate, to resist the enemy.

But Nova is not a fool who lets others take orders. She discovered something was wrong with her enemy before her companions called. She immediately judged that she could not confront this kind of existence head-on. She rushed down to the lower spiral staircase, shouting as she ran:

"You guys, retreat quickly! It will be safe on the second floor!"

After saying that, she was the first to rush into the spiral staircase, followed closely by the mage William and the insect swarm summoner David. These two people had the blessing of acceleration and ran no slower than her, a warrior.

"Finally escaped... William, what happened to the monster just now?"

Coming down from the third floor and meeting on the second floor, the three of them found that the enemy did not pursue them directly as they expected, so they stopped and began to think about this strange thing.

Especially the mage William, he didn't understand what happened just now and why the monster suddenly became stronger, but his companions thought he would understand and expected him to give an answer.

"I don't know what the situation is... maybe we broke into someone else's tower climbing space and were considered a friendly force, which caused the tower to increase the difficulty of the challenge?"

At present, he can only give this kind of far-fetched speculation.

"That may be the case...but I still have equipment that I haven't taken out from the prey. If I had known better, I would have moved faster."

David, the swarm summoner, also echoed after hearing this, regretting that they had not collected the full value of the loot.

"It doesn't matter, that person doesn't have anything very good, just find another target to make up for it."

After hearing this, the female warrior Nova quickly walked towards the spiral staircase leading to the first floor. Not only was she not frightened by the storm, but she also planned to strike hard.

When the three people were talking and walking towards the entrance of the first floor, Wang Zhifan saw everything. He didn't hesitate much and planned to make it more difficult for these three people. The main reason was that his goal had not been achieved yet, and he had only forced these three people so far. Leaving behind a useless corpse did not allow them to successfully complete the "tax payment".

So when the three people came to the first floor along the spiral staircase, what caught their eyes was not the grass on the first floor, but the three familiar black-winged monsters in the dark palace. That is to say, they unexpectedly fell into The cycle returned to the third level again.

"This is the third floor! We are obviously going down! How could we come back here!"

The mage William was shocked when faced with this bizarre situation. He knew that the tower was definitely not as simple as they thought, but he did not expect that the black tower would trick them and they would not be allowed to leave until they cleared the monsters.
