Chapter 222 Challenge 5 Stars
"Do you want to avenge her?"
"Yes, I think about revenge for her all the time. I want to make those who killed her pay the price, and I am even willing to sacrifice my life for it. But now is not the time," Ouroboros said, "I still shoulder the responsibility I have a more important mission, and when I complete my mission, it will be my day of revenge.”
"What mission?" Malu asked curiously.
"Do you want to know? I will tell you as soon as you join the Witches Alliance."
"Forget it then, let's talk about what you can say, the Witches Alliance, what kind of organization is it?"
"It depends on where you look at us. We have different images in the eyes of different people. The church sees us as mortal enemies, the source of chaos. Historians say we are survivors outside the city, ordinary people. They think we are a terrorist force that wants to destroy Temple City.”
Ouroboros stroked the hair beside his ear.
"What about you? What does the Witch Alliance look like in your eyes?"
"Liberators." The girl said without hesitation, "We exist to break the circle of order and liberate the witches who are enslaved by the church."
"With the Church of Order's control over Temple City, this should be quite difficult." Ma Lu said.
"Indeed," Ouroboros admitted, "we have sacrificed many people in order to achieve this goal, but we firmly believe that this day will eventually come."
"Why?"
"Because this is Heiya's promise."
"Heiya? Is she your leader?"
"Um."
Malu thought thoughtfully after hearing this, "You should be like Skylark and the others. You were adopted by the church when you were a baby. You never left the Temple City before you met me. So there are also people from the Witch Alliance in the school. ”
"…………"
"Oh, don't be nervous, I just said it casually."
"Fortunately, you are not our enemy." Ouroboros was startled by Malu's words and broke into a cold sweat.
Before she could take a breath, she heard Ma Lu continue, "By the way, did you just use the excuse of convenience to contact you people?"
"ah?"
At this moment, all the hairs on Ouroboros' body stood up. She thought of something, her face turned red, and she stammered, "You...are you watching me relieve myself?"
"No, no, don't talk nonsense." Malu shook his head and said, "I haven't moved since I was lying here. Yunque and the others can testify."
The fact is that he saw the Ouroboros circling a grid on the chessboard map, and he guessed that she was doing something small.
But looking at her acting like this, she must have done the whole thing, and it was really convenient in the woods in the end.
After hearing what Malu said, Ouroboros was relieved. Seeing that her actions were exposed, she could only admit it honestly.
"I left something in the woods. Someone will come to pick it up when the time comes, but don't worry, this matter will not have any impact on you and your team."
When Ma Lu heard this, he didn't stop her from doing this. He just reminded her, "Next time something like this happens, tell me in advance."
"Uh, okay...okay."
…………
After the rest, everyone continued to move forward, cleaning up the activated plants along the way.
Although Malu collected a wave of meteorite fragments on the way this time, he had more time than previous missions because he upgraded his traveler's bracelet in advance.
Moreover, the strength of the team has also increased rapidly, and it takes less time to kill monsters.
Malu now doesn't value the experience and rewards given by 1 or 2 star activated plants. Even 3 or 4 star activated plants can't let him upgrade anymore.
So he started planning to do something big again.
According to the display on the chessboard map, there are three 5-star activated plants nearby.
They are Chief Horseshoe Bamboo Shoots, Devil's Millstone Pumpkin and Frozen Purple Cabbage.
Among them, Frozen Purple Cabbage has a water attribute, which can restrain the main C Cerberus in the team, so it was eliminated by Malu first.
The Chief of Horseshoe Bamboo Shoots and the Devil's Mopan Pumpkin are left. Malu himself wants to eat Horseshoe Bamboo Shoots, but Chief Horseshoe Bamboo Shoots has a very annoying HP recovery skill. It can be released every 2 minutes, restoring a total of 1500 HP points to it.
In addition, Chief Horseshoe Bamboo Shoots also has a ground-breaking trample move, which is a group attack skill with a large range and a 4-second stun. It can easily disrupt the team's formation and pose a challenge to the survival of the fragile professions in the team.
In comparison, although Demonic Mill Pumpkin has the highest attack power among the three, reaching 39 points, its skill set is much friendlier.
There are only three skills: curse, bite and impact, and they are all single-target attacks.
So in the end, Malu chose the target of Devil's Millstone Pumpkin.
He temporarily lent the chef's knife to the purple-haired girl, planted an attack flag on the ground, added 2 attack points to the team, and then changed the formation to a swallow-tail formation.
In this formation, the team's HP can be increased by 10%, increasing fault tolerance. At the same time, the team's maximum sin value will also increase by 20%, allowing more skills to be released.
Then Malu took the initiative to use a knight skill - weather forecast.
He was lucky this time and chose the heat among the three options.
The next moment, the sunlight above everyone's heads suddenly became fierce.
Hot weather will cause the attack power of fire attribute attackers to increase by 50%, while the attack power of water attribute attackers will decrease by 50%, and the attack power of wood attribute attackers will decrease by 30%.
This weather effect affects Hellhound, Ouroboros, Bird of Paradise and Demonic Grindstone Pumpkin at the same time.
Among them, Hellhound is of Fire attribute, and its attack power has soared from 23 points to 35 points.
Ouroboros, as a Water attribute, has been weakened the most, and its attack power has dropped directly from 11 points to 6 points, but as a mage, it does not rely too much on basic attack power.
As Wood attributes, Bird of Paradise and Demonic Grindstone Pumpkin also have their attack power reduced by 30% respectively, among which Bird of Paradise's attack power has dropped from 11 points to 8 points, and Demonic Grindstone Pumpkin has dropped from 39 to 27, which has greatly reduced the pressure on treatment.
After the battle began, Bird of Paradise took the lead in chanting the skill May the Lord Bless You, adding an attack and defense +2 buff to everyone.
Then Skylark took the lead in attacking from a distance, relying on his long arms to get a wave of damage for free.
However, the defense of this big pumpkin is also very high, reaching a full 15 points. Even with the bonus of new weapons and engravings, Skylark's bullets can only deal 6 points of damage to it.
Compared to the 3000 HP of the Demon Grinding Wheel Pumpkin, it was better than nothing.
But it succeeded in attracting it, and then the millipede and the purple-haired girl went up together and stopped the Demon Grinding Wheel Pumpkin.
It was a huge pumpkin head that looked like a Halloween pumpkin lantern, with human eyes and mouth on the face.
There were also long and thin teeth in the mouth, which looked a bit scary.
Facing the subsequent attack of the Demon Grinding Wheel Pumpkin, the hellhound did not dodge, and directly took a four-hit bite, paying a price of 24 HP, which also triggered the effect of the engraving, allowing the purple-haired girl's attack power to increase by 2 points.
The hellhound then directly launched the active skill, the roar of hell, and slashed the dark green skin of the Demon Grinding Wheel Pumpkin with a knife, cutting 71 points of terrifying damage.
