The two leaders were eventually killed by the Iron Giant.
The poison has no effect on the giant, and the corrosive liquid only damages the surface of the giant. For a giant that's not really a mechanical construct it's like no harm. There were two more piles of mud on the ground. Mayuri looked at the people around her arrogantly, then asked the steel giant to peel off the corroded parts, and followed him back to Helena.
"Let's go find the next one."
Helena nodded to her, then glanced at Lu Ning. Mayuri followed her gaze and looked over, then smiled with an unknown meaning.
"Please let me see what you are capable of. It's better to make friends with people with similar interests. Don't you think so?"
Lu Ning looked at her silently and did not make any answer. Mayuri didn't expect anything, she just pressed her chest with one hand and nodded slightly to Lu Ning: "My name is Mayuri Daida, and I'm looking for a compatible friend."
The implication is that Helena and the three of them are not considered friends. But there was no displeasure on Helena's face, and she still maintained a smile.
weirdo.
After leaving these words, several people left the same way. People in the courtyard slowly gathered in the open area in the middle, looking at the remnants left by the two leaders on the ground, and some people even sighed.
"Level 4 props." Lewanska said with certainty. "The strength of these E-level creatures seems to be lower than the level 4 props. In this case, we may also need to accumulate a little more stars."
"Yes, but the kill points have been taken away." Beside Lewanska, the young Alpha who joined last stuttered, "She has level four props, and scoring will only become easier and easier, and then she will get More props…”
"There is no need to mess up the situation." Shan Lianmei frowned a little unhappy when he heard Alpha's words, "If the crisis in this garden has been carefully set up, then the level four props will definitely not be allowed to go sideways."
"If you paid attention to the battle just now, you will find that the size of the steel giant has also shrunk a lot after killing the two leaders." Lewanska chuckled, "Any prop has some With usage restrictions, it is impossible to rely on it forever.”
"Speaking of this, Levan, why are you fighting with the leader here?"
Lu Ning asked.
Not to mention the people who originally acted together, Shan Lianmei and the others acted alone, how could they suddenly come back?
"Then we need to introduce this friend a little bit." Lewanska waved and asked the man who went out alone to drag Sarracenia to come over, "William Sis, he brought us a very important We originally called everyone here to prepare for the next crisis, but unexpectedly, three consecutive alarms were unlocked, and the number of people here caused a leader to fall directly in the middle of the courtyard."
"I triggered the alarm," Lu Ning said. "The last alarm also allowed the Spring Garden to complete the final unlocking. The weather there is the same as this crisis... Guyu."
"It's pretty much what I thought." Lewanska nodded. "When you hear the name of the crisis, you basically understand what kind of crisis and what meteorological problems correspond to the full unlocking of the four gardens."
Great heat, frost and severe cold.
"But have you noticed another problem?" Lewanska looked at Lu Ning, "The trap number you triggered is twelve. Regardless of the difficulty sequence issue, if the four weather unlock numbers are arranged together, in the order of spring, If we take the lead, the final Great Cold Crisis should be on the 15th, but there are sixteen traps."
"The difficulty of Gu Yu's crisis is not very high, and most of the bosses are only E-level... Do you know this level classification? There should be corresponding tasks now."
"I know." Lewanska said simply, "You only need to study a little systematically in the pavilion to understand this, but you can only learn it from the history subject. I didn't know that it was actually used as a formal grade classification here. .”
"so……"
"Lu, the difficulty of this crisis is based on the fact that someone has props. It is still very difficult for us with E-class weapons to deal with a boss. You may have some concerns about this lowest level because of the level division. Some misunderstandings. What you need to know is that according to the understanding at the time, the highest output of conventional combat was A-level weapons, and higher-level weapons were strategic." Lewanska said seriously, "The four E's The crisis cannot be solved if it is not handled by dedicated personnel, not to mention that there is a D this time. Look at your instruments, the D-level Cordyceps sinensis has not been killed yet."
"Okay, so what do you mean?"
"I don't think the crisis will end easily."
Lewanska's words surprised everyone.
"As the monsters become stronger and stronger, what needs to be done is no longer a head-on confrontation, but delaying and pulling - just like Lu Ning did. We will gradually be unable to keep up with the speed of the monsters' increasing strength. At that time, we can stand up There are only a handful of them, what should the rest do?"
He looked around at the people around him.
"Enhance your own escape ability, and fully understand the attack habits of monsters, so that they attack each other, this is probably the main thing we have to do later. I know many of you still feel that you still have enough strength, but you have faced E-class monsters head-on before. It has shown us the limits of the team. Conventional methods can only deal with minions at best, and the leader cannot fight against it."
"Lewan! Even if you say so..."
"So next I will let you know what unconventional fighting methods are." Lewanska glanced at Fu Junnian, "Risk and reward are always equal."
Dacoran's low laughter was very conspicuous in the quiet crowd. It was obvious that the situation finally turned out to be what he expected.
=====================
Night once again replaced day. This time there was no sunset, just darkness and the bright moon in the sky.
Dark cloud patterns appeared on the walls and ceiling, but they were not projected clouds. Instead, they were obvious artistic images. This also made the garden under the bright moon look like a picture scroll, somewhat losing a sense of reality.
The countdown appears on the wall in the form of fluorescence, flashing every ten seconds, and the trailer has already announced that, as Ji Changhao said before - "Xuan Yue".
When it came to the last thirty seconds, the flashes became one flash every second, and more and more timing flashes appeared on the wall. Lu Ning also felt that her heartbeat was beating more violently with the flashes.
"It's so quiet."
Now she, Mao You, Ping Na and Qiao who returned to the team are squatting in the "warehouse" in the No. 1 courtyard. Lewanska handed over a three-star mission and a one-star mission here to Lu Ning. She received the mission The one-star mission was quickly dealt with, and I even had time to come back and wait for a refresh. After that, there was a warning of crisis. She and her people squatted in this warehouse extending in all directions, waiting for the crisis to come.
[Task Level 3: Kill a leader in any crisis. 】
[Task Level 1: Kill two units before the next crisis ends. 】
The three-star missions confirmed that the difficulty of the missions would continue to increase as the crisis progressed; while the one-star missions finally began to implicitly encourage fratricide. Kill two "units". In addition to the monsters that appear in the crisis, the people here are probably included.
The moment the countdown ended, the flicker disappeared, leaving only the moonlight surroundings that suddenly seemed to darken a lot. A gust of wind picked up the fallen leaves outside the house, and the sound of rustling seemed to bring the cold wind into people's hearts.
[Where the Xuan Yue shines, the nine rays shine together. 】
[The second crisis: Xuan Yue
Leaders: Jiangyi (D), Xuanjia (D), Zaopao, Feixiu.
Servants: Jinyao, Wooden Solid, Earth Escape, Water Spirit, Fire Lotus, Sunshine, Moon Song, Xingyi, Tiangui. 】
The high tower rises from the ground, and Jiu Yao guards Xuanyi.
The ground beneath his feet began to tremble violently, and Lu Ning hurriedly squatted down and lay on the ground to avoid being knocked down. But Ping Na fell directly and was shaken directly to the room inside by the earthquake. Joe grabbed the door frame in the room and tried his best to stabilize his body, keeping his mouth shut and not daring to say a word. There was a bright light outside for a moment, as if a sun passed over the courtyard. Through the window, Lu Ning clearly saw a blazing white star passing close to the ceiling, and then hitting the house in Courtyard No. 1 like a meteor. , the ground instantly turned into a dark red color like lava, and all the fallen leaves within five meters turned into fly ash.
What followed was a high-frequency sonic boom that was close to the limit of decibels that the human body can absorb. This was an indiscriminate attack on the entire Autumn Garden. Lu Ning hurriedly covered her ears and opened her mouth to gasp. She could feel herself Blood is flowing from all the five senses, the ears are almost deaf, and even the mind seems to be starting to become confused. But that was all, the tiny white bug flew out of her body and quickly swallowed up the sound of the second sonic boom, saving the four people in the room.
"Ri Zhuo and Yue Yong?" Lu Ning shook his head to wake himself up and swallowed the blood in his throat. Ji Changhao had predicted the second crisis correctly, but had he guessed the intensity?
There are nine servants, fewer than any time before, and they all have their own names. Does this mean that the strength of the servants cannot be underestimated?
Moreover, the strength of the bosses actually skipped E-level, and there were two D-level bosses! You must know that there is still one Cordyceps sinensis left in the Guyu crisis. I don’t know where it is. It is equivalent to saying that there are three D-level monsters wandering in the Four Seasons Garden!
"The difficulty jumps too much..."
Lu Ning covered her head and thought carefully about the movement. Sunshine had turned into a meteor and rushed towards the elevator shaft. These servants were completely different from before. They did not actively seek out the humans in the garden to fight, but instead ran around aimlessly. ?
"Doesn't this mean that the previous strategy of attracting monsters is basically ineffective? Lewanska... you'd better have some backup plan." Lu Ning ran out of the house. There was no monster in the No. 1 courtyard that he originally planned to defend. No, Yue Yong's position can only be roughly confirmed by the direction from which the sound came, and the rest did not appear in this courtyard.
"Thirteen monsters, about three in each garden, the probability of them all appearing in one area is really low. If the Spring Garden is not completely locked, some of them will definitely be taken away... Wait a minute, the sun was shining just now Is the direction of the elevator? These monsters have evolved from being able to open doors to being able to use elevators?"
She hurriedly followed the obvious ashes on the ground in the direction of Rishuo, and sure enough she found that the elevator had been locked and could not be used temporarily.
"Lu! Wait for us! It's dangerous to move alone!"
Mao You chased after him from behind. Lu Ning took a glance and found that the three people were still there, and felt a little relieved.
"They can use the elevator."
"What? That thing just now was..." Qiao was shocked.
"Don't talk about it just now, now we have someone here who continues to emit interference, and the direction is..." Lu Ning let the sound louse flutter and pointed out the direction of the sound, "That way, but I don't know if it is in the courtyard or the corridor. .”
"Wait a minute! Maybe there is a leader! A D-level one! Lu, the props we have cannot deal with D-level enemies!" Maoyou hurriedly dissuaded him.
"Aunt Pingna first releases a phantom. Joe, prepare to hate the candle. We can protect ourselves. The most important thing now is to deal with the one who releases sonic booms to attack the entire garden. Otherwise, all the evildoers who have no defense will die. !”
The sonic boom attack has exceeded the response range of the Abomination Candle. Since Qiao exchanged this item, Lu Ning can also understand that the purpose of this item is only to make creatures that are malicious or hostile to you stay away from you for no reason, but he cannot deal with this. An indiscriminate attack. To block it, it must be a third-level prop like a sound louse or a moving barrier.
"But we can be fine on our own, right?" Mao You was still very worried, "We don't have to take risks to help others, right? The attack is not fatal at once. If we can't hold on, why don't we hide in other gardens?"
"What if the elevator can't be used?" Lu Ning asked, "Monsters who use the elevator are also counted."
"Can……"
"And the enemies this time will run around. Even if we stay here, the probability of us encountering the leader is not low. We might as well take the initiative." Lu Ning walked over and opened the door of the corridor. "You still have three seconds to decide. Not following.”
"You have sound lice, of course we will follow you, or will we go crazy?" Qiao scratched his head, "But we don't want to die! You have to make sure I live, Lu! Swear to me!"
"I don't even know myself -" Lu Ning was about to reply, but her movements paused. She looked at the button on the door at hand, and pressed it twice again. The button glowed with a faint red light, but the door could not be opened.
"What's wrong?" Mao You also saw the pause in Lu Ning's movements.
"Is the door locked?" Joe asked loudly.
Lu Ning's face darkened.
She had always believed that the garden acted as a neutral ground between monsters and humans, but now it seemed clear that something could overstep that rule.
