However, something unexpected happened. The Brain Demon suddenly coiled itself up with its tentacles, almost merging with the solid earth.
This kind of trick has long been recorded in the classics. It's not like Luokas/Ge Zhao has never encountered it before, but this time the situation seems to be different. The defense has been strengthened too much.
Ge Zhaodu, who was currently broadcasting, frowned slightly: "I can't cause effective damage. It seems that something unexpected happened because of the highest difficulty."
Luokas/Ge Zhao's face is as dark as water at this moment. Is it the darkness that has strengthened their power...or is this brain demon already on the verge of mutating again, just one step away from promotion?
Luokas/Ge Zhao was hesitant for a moment. It stands to reason that there must be a monster when something goes wrong. Long-term combat experience tells him that the best way to deal with it now is to retreat immediately.
But the problem is that not only him, but the entire Hope City has prepared for this hunt for too long and invested too much. Not to mention failure, it cannot even bear to return without success.
It seemed that for a while, things had become stalemate. Both sides could do nothing to each other and could only stare at each other.
However, Ling Mengyu's long-term sensitivity made her feel that something was wrong. She panted and stopped attacking and asked:
"I think there's something wrong. This way the opponent can't attack. What's the point? I feel like it's... stalling for time."
When Ling Mengyu said this, it finally became the last bargaining chip in the balance between Luokas/Ge Zhao, and he decided to retreat immediately regardless of anything else.
After all, the failure of this operation only means that the future of Hope City is not bright, but if all these elites are lost here, then the countdown to the destruction of Hope City will already be in progress.
However, the brain demon obviously had the same intelligence as humans. It seemed that it noticed that the enemy was showing signs of retreat, so it made a prompt decision and launched the prepared back-up strategy.
Suddenly the ground began to roll, and then one after another black shadows about the size of a human foot emerged from the soil.
Those are brainworms summoned by the Brain Demon. They look like huge, fat earthworms, but they also have disgusting wrinkles similar to brains.
Anyone who is keen enough can discover the connection between the brain worm and the brain demon. The trembling frequency of their breathing is exactly the same, like a powerful beating heart.
Luokas/Ge Zhao has rich combat experience and can understand the current situation at a glance. He did not expect that Hope City's luck would be so bad.
The brain demon selected by them must belong to the level that is about to break through, so it not only has great strength, but also has such cunning wisdom.
He actually used himself as bait to attract the elite of Hope City here, and then sent brainworms to spread everywhere, hoping to catch all the prey after inviting you into the urn.
During the test before the hunt, this brain demon was extremely cunning and hid the information that he had brain worm servants. As a result, he misjudged everyone in Hope City.
In this way, it is no longer a question of how to hunt, but a question of how to escape and retreat from the encirclement net set by the Brain Demon!
This group of people is the elite and high-level officials of Hope City. Although there are not many people left behind in the city, if all the people who went hunting are trapped here, Hope City will probably be doomed.
As a high-level executive in Hope City, Suo Jian naturally knew that Ge Zhao's decisiveness lay behind this short sentence of "retreat".
In order to promote the strongest combat power Ge Zhao, Hope City can be said to have spent a lot of experience and cost in preparing this hunting operation.
If even this hunt fails, it will not only cause material losses to the city-state and waste a lot of precious time, but it will also severely damage the people's little hope.
But as a leader, making the decision to retreat under such circumstances, Suo Jian believed that there was no other better way and the fight could no longer continue.
The brain demon was extremely cunning and cunning, and it actually concealed the information that it had a brain worm for such a long period of time, which resulted in the failure of this hunt.
Suo Jian heard Ge Zhao's order to retreat and knew that based on the current team's intelligence, this was undoubtedly the correct and responsible approach.
But when Luokas/Ge Zhao judged the situation, they did not and could not do one thing, that is, take the existence of the master into account.
They are not only the elite of Hope City, but also the transcendent invitees of the Lord's Imperial Majesty. They have special abilities that are not found in this world.
So if someone, such as yourself, uses the ability exchanged from the master to rush out and fight, he may have the ability to reverse the situation, but should he do this?
Suo Jian was still hesitating on how to deal with it, but Ge Zhaodu, who was live broadcasting, had already given up. He controlled the team with a dejected look, preparing to break out of the encirclement:
"Oh, luck, luck. I don't want the live broadcast to fail, but encountering such a boss-level monster is something I could have expected?"
"And this step is very important for the city-state. I can tell you clearly that if in the highest game difficulty, the city-state's strongest combat power is only sequence six, you will not be able to win no matter how hard you fight."
Ge Zhaodu seemed helpless and put all the blame on the unexpected situation, that is, the choice of monsters that were very special elite monsters.
If the situation stabilizes in the future and you encounter this kind of elite monster that is about to break through, it will be a great joy. After all, as we all know, elite monsters are much rarer than ordinary monsters.
However, the city-state is still in the development stage. When everything is seeking stability, it happens to encounter elite monsters with good strength. This is really no one.
But another gamer who was watching the live broadcast did not hesitate to expose Ge Zhaodu's excuse. Of course, he said it more tactfully:
"I think this is closer to where good fortune and misfortune depend. Brother Ge's ability is strong in city construction. This is where I came to watch the video to learn."
"But obviously in terms of combat, Brother Ge's level is even... not as good as my brother... Today's battle will not lead to this situation at all."
"The Brain Demon is technically a Sequence Five. However, when you conducted reconnaissance before, it was obvious that the combat effectiveness of the Brain Demon did not reach that level. There was not even a single brain worm servant."
"I think this is a very obvious signal. If you see a brain monster without brain worms, it is either a newly broken through monster or an elite monster. The brain worms are all hidden around."
"The result is such an obvious signal. Brother Ge, your city-building ability is so good, but you didn't notice it and led the team directly into the encirclement..."
Seeing this player complaining about his battle, Ge Zhaodu couldn't help but blush. Fortunately, during the live broadcast, he was one of those who didn't show his face.
"Ahem, cough, cough," Ge Zhaodu could only cough forcefully to relieve the embarrassment, "Since you saw it, why didn't you remind me before."
This player also had an innocent look on his face: "I think it's impossible for you to miss such an obvious trap, but yet you rush in so directly. There must be some big plan behind it."
"After all, I am indeed inferior to you in other aspects, so I was wondering if there was some big plan that I didn't see. I saw that you were ready to retreat now, so I couldn't help complaining."
