Chapter 499: An Extraordinarily Exciting Team Adventure (4)
At this point, it's obvious that you have to clean up the mess yourself, otherwise the players will probably be guarded...
Zhou Ning saw six ghosts rushing towards the players, and immediately took a deep breath, rushed forward, and stood in front of a team of players, helping them block a wave of damage. In an instant, his health bar dropped by half, leaving only a majestic back view to the players. If he was not reluctant, breaking off a hand would probably have had a better effect.
Afterwards, he activated his Sword Immortal mode once again. His hair visibly grew longer, and his windbreaker turned golden and lifted back. During this process, he shot up into the sky with a ghostly moonstep, and then a greatsword, shrouded in the ripples of the sun, appeared in his hand and fell to the ground.
"Silver Light Falling Blade!"
In Sword Immortal mode, not only does the attack and defense power increase by 20% each, the strength and speed also increase significantly, and even the attack range is expanded by 25%.
The silver blade fell down and immediately attacked all six ghosts into the air. The moment he landed, Zhou Ning started his revenge again. A pair of bright wings made purely of morning light appeared on both sides of his golden windbreaker, and he started to sweep towards the six ghosts.
One round, two rounds, golden flames gradually ignited on their bodies, and they were on the verge of collapse.
At the same time, Hawkeye, who had been drawing his sword and accumulating power for a while, also dropped his blade with a silver strike, causing them to float in the air again. Zhou Ning used a wave of honeycomb shooting to harvest them all, and they were reduced to ashes with golden flames.
"The protagonist is indeed the protagonist. The players went through so much trouble to defeat the big boss with only a little HP left, but now the protagonist kills him in one second. There is no harm without comparison."
"You guys don't want to compete with the protagonist in terms of damage, do you? No, no?"
Zhou Ning didn't look back and immediately released his Sword Immortal mode. The revolver disappeared from his hand like magic. He then glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"Be careful, this place is very dangerous. Truly powerful adventurers must make all preparations in advance. Remember: the priest's Soul Soothing and Reckless Potion can prevent the effects of fear."
The Priest can't learn Soul Soothing until level 60, but he has the Reckless Potion in his personal shop. I wonder if players have taken his hint and let him make another profit. More importantly, the Reckless Potion is very expensive. Besides granting immunity to fear, it also increases attack power by 20%, at the cost of -20% defense.
This is the benefit of being a quest publisher and a mysterious merchant: you can sell your goods wherever you go. And after players gain experience from their reward pool quests, they can also learn skills from you, providing a one-stop service.
As it turned out, he did not underestimate the players' understanding. The two groups of players led by Shuidi Chenxing and Tangshan Daxiong quickly opened Zhou Ning's personal store and started buying potions.
Just look at the price, 8 Victa a bottle!
"That's fucking expensive!" Brother Tangshan's face twitched. While the guild had money, one Vikta was about 260 yuan these days, so eight Vikta was a lot of money. The 8 Vikta they'd spent on the Lanling King mask had already used up most of the guild's liquidity.
His own Lanling King mask can only relieve the fear of the team, but has no effect on other members of the team.
After a moment of hesitation, Tangshan finally made up his mind to buy the Reckless Potion after seeing its supply dwindle. The team mission had just begun, and two bonus missions had already been triggered. There would likely be plenty of terrifying monsters to come, and he was confident it would be worth every penny!
Seeing the Reckless Potion's stock plummeting, and even the other potions mostly sold out, Zhou Ning nodded inwardly. This was the way to go. All his hard work had paid off, bringing players here for team building. XB's sacrifice was perfectly timed. He'd find a chance to give him an experience bonus later to make amends.
With the help of the Reckless Potion, the players' progress in opening up new areas has also accelerated. Just as Zhou Ning expected, high-level demon hunters such as Shuidi Chenxing and Jinse performed extremely well. Their output in the prize pool missions was far ahead with their discontinuous output. The bullets containing ripple energy could always cause burning damage to the ghost monsters.
"Yan Ran has not yet restrained you from pulling the monster, and Yue Mingxing is ready to take the second hatred at any time."
"Mages and thieves, please help! Your output is too low."
"Meteorologists put frost and spikes on the ground to separate the terrain."
"Take it easy, Rangers. Your damage output is too high, and it's hard for Warriors to attract aggro."
This team is composed of three powerful teams: Candy Super Sweet, Star Moon, and Tang Poetry and Song Ci. The entire team of 40 players basically treats the ghost monster as a BOSS. Brother Tangshan raps crazily and directs, and the cooperation is very tacit.
Although this ghost monster was level 69, it was still powerless against this team composed of wealthy members, and its health soon ran low.
Under the water, Chenxing transformed into a jackal, wearing a phoenix battle suit and holding the Justice bought from Zhou Ning. Although the level was not high enough and he could not activate the extraordinary abilities of the Justice, the powerful basic attack power still made him reluctant to give up this weapon.
Pulling the trigger, the flint struck the edge of the firing port hard, igniting the gunpowder and firing. Flames spurted out from the muzzle of the Justice, and a bullet wrapped in ripples shot into the ghost's head. At the same time, the underwater star shouted excitedly:
"Take my Phoenix Man's ripple shot!"
Although it was too childish to watch, this move still caused extremely horrific damage after piercing the ghost's head, just enough to reduce the ghost's life to zero and turn it into a ball of powder.
Under the water, Chen Xing imitated Zhou Ning's gun flower trick and put away the Justice. Looking at the output again, he was indeed the first by a large margin, accounting for almost 1/7 of the team's output. With the power of Phoenix Armor + Devil Fruit + Reckless Potion + Justice, no player can currently surpass him.
Moreover, the Phoenix Suit not only has explosive output, but also has extremely strong mobility and defense. When the Devil Fruit is activated, its output is almost equivalent to three people, and it can occasionally play the role of a tank.
This Phoenix suit is a great buy, the price of 1 Vectra is really a great deal! Shuidi Chenxing couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up to his idol.
Around 11:40, the players finally cleared all the ghost monsters from the lobby. Shuidi Shenxing's team won first place in the prize pool mission. A wave of enthusiasm followed, and Jinse's team placed second. XB was the worst hit. He had just died twice in a row, playing like an AI that treated life like dirt. His team ranked only fourth, and they probably had to pay experience points. The livestream was abuzz with trolls, and even Zhou Ning, the unlucky player, felt quite unlucky.
After distributing the mission rewards, Zhou Ning picked up the lantern and continued walking along the road between the two rows of stone pillars.
Through the dim light of the lantern, Zhou Ning could vaguely see that on the stone pillars on both sides were carved elves of various shapes. Although in black and white, it was still possible to see that these elves seemed to wear crowns and had vivid expressions, some arrogant, some laughing, some crying, and some humble. Their names and eras were also engraved below.
At this moment, Jasmine's voice reached her ears, a hint of surprise in her voice: "These stone pillars are all carved with statues of the Elf Kingdom's successive Elf Kings. According to the Elf Kingdom's legends, after death, they will return to the Elf ancestral land and become subordinate gods or servants of the Elf Goddess."
"Elf King?" Zhou Ning frowned slightly. The only Elf King he was familiar with was Alfred, but he didn't see his name along the way.
In addition, after the ghosts died, this place seemed to become extremely quiet, with only occasional spiritual creatures that looked like brooms busy sweeping up fallen rocks on the ground - these were creatures that existed in many ruins, and were also the lowest level of existence in the spiritual world.
A huge stone pillar stood at the deepest part of the road, covered with patterns and exuding a very strong divine aura.
Zhou Ning slowed down his pace and walked forward. The lantern in his hand dispelled the darkness and fog around him. The graceful figure of the elf goddess was outlined on the stone pillar, looking lifelike and like an epic.
For some reason, Zhou Ning vaguely felt the hairs on his back stand up, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him.
