Gu Zhou and Brother Black Eyed Rui continued to conduct reconnaissance. Not only were they level 9 rangers, but they also had full-level Wind Step and Shadow Step. With the blessing of the Hiding Potion, their stealth skills were quite impressive.
"There are more monsters in this place than imagined!"
Brother Black Eyed Rui roughly estimated that there were about seventy magic mountain bandits, in addition to two to three hundred high-level undead, plus some miscellaneous and bizarre abyss monsters.
This is really unexpected.
Overall this isn't a bad thing.
If they could all be eliminated, that would be an astonishing amount of income!
Brother Heitongrui sent a message to Guzhou through the friend window: "The pollution level inside the cottage is higher than outside, and there may be more powerful BOSS monsters hidden in it!"
Guzhou replied: "Go in and have a look."
The two entered cautiously. The scale of this cottage was not very large. The ground was covered with human skeletons, indicating that many people were killed in this place. This may be how the undead people outside came here.
Gu Zhou and Brother Heitongrui didn't worry too much, because as the fog that obscured their vision gradually faded, a figure that was different and even jaw-dropping appeared.
"What the hell is this?"
Brother Heitongrui couldn't help but cursed secretly.
Even Gu Zhou looked shocked when he saw the monster crawling in the center of the village. Although he guessed that there might be a powerful BOSS dormant, no one expected it to be so exaggerated.
This BOSS seems to be a knight with an abnormally twisted appearance.
If you look carefully, you will find that describing him as a knight is not quite accurate. He is clearly a centaur and half horse monster.
Of course, it would be a big mistake to think of him as a race of centaurs in fantasy or games like Invincible Heroes!
This is not an intelligent centaur.
Rather, it is a monster that is both a man and a horse.
What is the unity of man and horse?
That’s what it means!
The flesh and blood of this guy had deformed and expanded into grid-like tissue. His legs had disappeared and turned into countless flesh and blood tentacles, which merged and grew with the body of the seated war horse.
Man and horse merge!
Although half of the body is still humanoid, it is made up of grid-like pieces of meat, covered with a layer of solid armor. A long halberd is fixed on the right hand by various tentacles and wriggling pieces of meat.
As for the war horse he sat on, it was even more twisted and ferocious. Not only was it several times larger than an ordinary war horse, it had more than a dozen hoofs, and its neck had grown and split into seven horse heads.
Each horse head has a big mouth full of rugged fangs, and you can even stuff a football into it.
Such a centaur, half horse, man and horse, a knight with seven demonic horses, the sense of oppression exuded by him is extremely strong, far greater than that of a large group of demonic mountain bandits around him.
[Pei Yuanshao], level 7 command unit... Introduction: Once a senior general of the Yellow Turban Army, he later became a bandit leader and became a villain because he completely surrendered to the will of the abyss.
At this moment, the seven-headed horse demon that Pei Yuanshao transformed into was crawling in the center of the village and seemed to be sleeping. Gu Zhou and Brother Black Eyed Rui did not dare to get close to avoid disturbing the situation, so they quickly withdrew and returned to the others.
"What?"
"Pei Yuanshao?"
"Why is it him?"
"Another evil villain with a surname!"
"Are we lucky or unlucky?"
The players just wanted to take a small path to bypass the area occupied by the dragon lizards, but they never expected to encounter so many monsters in this place.
It has been almost a year since the dragon lizards arrived in Woniu Mountain. Most of the urban areas and polluted areas have been captured by the dragon lizards, leaving very few resources for the Scourge Legion to kill the BOSS for the first time.
Who would have thought that dragon lizards are so close to each other?
They actually missed such an important area for spawning monsters.
What's more, such an important evil fall in the abyss was omitted!
Little Lingdang asked: "Who is Pei Yuanshao? Is this person famous?"
Chen Xi replied: "Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang are both generals of the Yellow Turban Army. According to the legend, they fell into captivity together in Woniu Mountain and became bandits. Then they met Guan Yu and were adopted as retainers."
Xiao Lingdang wondered: "Since he is hanging out with Guan Yu, why is he not famous at all?"
Xianyu suddenly explained at this time: "Because Guan Yu took Zhou Cang away first and left Pei Yuanshao to stay there to manage hundreds of bandits waiting to be collected."
"But this Pei Yuanshao has a problem. He is a complete horse fanatic. Whenever he sees a good horse, he wants to take it for himself. As a result, he happened to grab Zhao Yun who was passing by Woniu Mountain. In the end, he was defeated by my idol in just one round. Zhao Zilong was stabbed to death."
So that’s what happened.
No wonder I haven't heard of his deeds.
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao are the two bandit leaders in Woniu Mountain.
After Zhou Cang was basically ruled out as the core source of pollution, many players and cloud players began to suspect Pei Yuanshao. Now it seems that Pei Yuanshao cannot be the ultimate BOSS and is at best a secondary pollution source.
So.
Who is the ultimate BOSS in Woniu Mountain?
Could it be that it was really Guan Yu and Zhao Yun who once passed by here by chance?
Midnight pig-killing man: "How about it? Do it or not!"
Hacking a street like crazy: "Do it, you have to do it, why not do it, there are so many elite monsters, it's like a treasure!"
The devil frowned and said: "The risk is too great. Although this Pei Yuanshao is not high in level, he is a commander of the abyss!"
Chen Xi nodded: "Ma Yuanyi is also a level 7 commander. Everyone has seen his strength. Although we are much stronger than we were back then, we have no chance of winning against such a being."
At this time Zhou Ji spoke: "Although Zhou's strength is limited, if you need it, I will do my best."
Hear this.
Players are at peace.
"Great, as long as Uncle Zhou is willing to take action, we may not be able to capture this cottage." Xiao Lingdang said excitedly.
Ye Limeng: "Hahaha, that's true. Brother Zhou is a second-level master. It's great to have Brother Zhou with us this time."
Brother Heitongrui: "Then try it!"
Artist Mr. Pai: “It’s a must!”
Ye Limeng suggested: "Just in case, we'd better be fully prepared. I suggest dividing the energy sealed in the contract in advance."
In this operation, the player killed twenty-four dragon lizards and hunted many undead people and monsters. Currently, more than 130,000 essences are sealed in the essence contract.
If divided among twenty players.
Each player can get at least 6500 points of energy.
Level 6 players need 2000 points of energy to upgrade. From this level to level 10, the energy requirement for each level upgrade is only 1000 points higher than the previous level.
This means that even a level 9 player only needs 5,000 points of energy to upgrade. 6,500 points of energy are enough for everyone present to at least upgrade to one level.
However, this abyss energy does not entirely belong to the twenty main players.
There are a total of sixty-one participants in today's operation. Without the spontaneous sacrifice of players from the other four teams to attract the attention of the dragon lizard, it would be difficult for the main team to get here.
So you must give some of your energy to others.
Of course, even if it is divided like this, it is still a lot. According to the proportion of contribution and level, plus voluntarily giving up some loot, several top level 9 players can still get about four to five thousand to get rid of this blow.
[Ding, you have reached level 10, life +10, energy +10, strength +2, agility +3, spirit +1, will +1! 】
Brother Heitongrui successfully became a level 10 player.
In addition to him, Gu Zhou, Ye Li Meng, Crazy Sword King, Demon Demon Demon, and Artist Pai also all reached level 10.
In addition, several players such as Midnight Pig Killer Man, Chen Xi, Xiao Ma Ge, Niu Shisan, etc. have entered the ranks of level 9 players.
Other players also generally received a level upgrade.
The impact of this level increase is not only the increase in attributes, but also affects the skill effects to a certain extent and weakens the negative impact of the abyss' breath.
Although for an individual, an ordinary level increase cannot achieve a qualitative breakthrough in strength, but a group's simultaneous improvement is enough to elevate the team's strength to a higher level.
NPC Zhou Ji felt the changes in the players and was shocked.
"Is this the growth ability of the chosen one? Such potential is unheard of and amazing!"
After the upgrade.
Players take action.
The key to successfully wiping out the copycat this time lies in whether the player can wipe out most of the demonic mountain bandits before Pei Yuanshao wakes up, reducing the threat of abyssal creatures to a controllable level.
Otherwise, more than seventy magic mountain bandits will come together.
There is no way that only 17 players can handle it.
Even with the help of a powerful NPC like Zhou Ji, the final result will most likely be a miserable victory, not to mention there are many undead people and BOSS Pei Yuanshao nearby!
Fortunately, both the demonic bandits and the undead people have been trapped in nightmares for a long time and endured the whispers of the will from the abyss. They have long been unconscious and have no wisdom at all, and they are not much different from ordinary monsters.
The player's strategy is for the ranger to pull monsters, and when the monsters enter a safe range, the warrior goes up to block them, and then the warlock uses the fire arrow spell to eliminate them one by one.
[You picked up trophies, energy +2500, magic stone fragments +6000, magic mountain bandit breastplate +1! 】
[You picked up trophies, energy +2500, magic stone fragments +6000, magic mountain bandit helmet +1! 】
[You picked up the loot, energy +2500, magic stone fragments +6000, magic mountain bandit sword +1! 】
【……】
The player's battle process is very smooth. Although the magic mountain bandits' drops are not as generous as those of elite humanoid monsters of the same level, they win because of their large numbers and quantity. The cumulative figures are also very impressive.
Less than an hour.
The crowd eliminated all the demon bandits and undead people near the mountain stronghold. Now only the twenty or thirty elites remaining in the stronghold and the leader of the abyss commander Pei Yuanshao are left.
no doubt.
Although there are already many level 10 bosses among the players.
But even level 10 players are like paper in front of a level 7 commander.
Brother Rui with black eyes: "Brother Zhou, I leave Pei Yuanshao to you! As long as we can contain him for three to five minutes, we have a chance to win this battle."
Zhou Ji clenched the long knife in his hand with a serious expression: "Although Zhou is not completely sure of dealing with such a monster, it should be okay to just contain it for a moment!"
"Old Zhu, don't worry about us for a while, and do your best to assist Brother Zhou Ji!"
"no problem!"
The battle begins.
Everyone entered the village directly.
Because the bandits and monsters in the village are very dense, it is difficult to defeat them one by one like outside. The best way is to swarm them and eliminate them as quickly as possible.
However.
He forced his way into the village in front of everyone.
The Demonic Mountain Thief was slightly agitated for a moment and then became strangely quiet.
Brother Rui with black eyes was not only unhappy when he saw this situation, but his expression became more solemn. These monsters have no intelligence and thinking ability, and rely solely on the instinct of the abyss creatures to kill in order to spread pollution.
When they start to suppress their instincts and become more honest.
The most likely possibility is that there is some powerful superior will interfering with and manipulating them.
"careful!"
"Pei Yuanshao should be awake!"
In the solemn and vigilant eyes of everyone.
The giant horse with seven heads and more than a dozen hooves lying in the center of the village is slowly standing up from the ground. In the process, it exudes a powerful aura, making everyone feel the suffocation and stinging in the spirit and soul. .
Pei Yuanshao and Ma Yuanyi are lords of the same level. Although their aura is slightly inferior, they are definitely not something ordinary players can fight against.
When the deformed giant horse stood up completely.
Players also noticed the humanoid figure on horseback.
This must be Pei Yuanshao, but at this moment, he can no longer be defined by a creature in the secular sense. The last time he saw such a twisted and deformed monster was Ma Yuanyi at Luoshui Execution Ground.
"The lackey of the stars?"
Pei Yuanshao made a low and dirty sound from the grating-like hollow flesh and blood all over his body, and then a large amount of black smoke poured out from his body and instantly enveloped the sky above the entire village, making the entire environment dark and gloomy.
Hundreds of undead people and magic mountain bandits became restless, and they were obviously ready to swarm forward and fight quickly.
"Fire tiger roars and slashes!"
Zhou Ji directly drew out a burning tiger-shaped sword energy and struck Pei Yuanshao.
-
115 (Crit!)
Warlocks such as Demon Demon, Xiao Ling Dang, and Tsing Yi Fox all became energetic when they saw this. Just like what they had encountered before, Pei Yuanshao and the Demon Mountain Thief were both relatively weak to fire.
Deal with such monsters.
Reckless actions will not work.
Let the NPC restrain it first.
Wait for the player to clear out the other monsters before concentrating on dealing with him.
At this time, Pei Yuanshao turned into black mist and moved forward quickly. The long halberd fixed in his right hand by a large number of tentacles and pieces of flesh was swung like a normal person, and the violent attacks gave people a sense of oppression.
…………
at the same time.
Luoshui base camp.
Hang Yu paid attention to the player's actions throughout the whole process.
"There is actually a commander of the abyss! Players are really making a profit from this!"
Hang Yu didn't expect players to be so lucky. They happened to find a hidden monster area and Pei Yuanshao, a very critical mini-boss. If he could be taken down directly, the benefits from the loot alone would be amazing.
Hang Yu continued to observe.
No plan to take action.
The main reason is that the distance is too far and there is no teleportation point, so I have more than enough ambition but not enough energy.
Hang Yu has confidence in the strength of this group of players, not to mention that there is an NPC Zhou Ji fighting side by side. This battle should not be a big problem. He also looks forward to the performance of the players in this battle and the commanding units. Generous drops!
