The reason why Qi Zhen was able to faint without any scruples was that in addition to the fact that Qi Zhen's own mental power was extremely overdrawn, the more important reason was that he could be sure that the positions of everyone in the team were absolutely safe.
After he woke up, he quickly shared his inference with his teammates.
"After we entered the Dabie Mountains, in fact, when we entered the barrier, we began a journey to break through the barrier." Qi Zhen said.
As soon as the word "break through" came out, no one in the team was a gaming idiot like Lin Xiao, so they naturally understood what Qi Zhen meant.
If I had to make an analogy, the events the team experienced after entering the Dabie Mountains were more like Contra or early arcade side-scrolling games.
The barrier level is more like an adaptive level.
Looking back, there is no imminent death crisis, no visible enemy appearing in front of everyone, the team is more like fighting against the air.
Because they were unfamiliar with the entire task process, a few people could only walk step by step in the barrier and could even be said to be walking on thin ice.
But this may be the purpose of the system's design of this enchantment.
If we follow the thinking of Suzhou City or Wuhu, there is no doubt that some unexpected things will happen in this environment, causing the team to step into the pit designed by the system step by step.
Rather than saying that the mountain path that they didn't know when they could get out of was meant to mislead the team into not being able to get out, the entire barrier itself was more misleading to them.
After Qi Zhen saw the boundary monument where trespassers died, she instantly understood the mission that the system wanted the team to complete.
They have only passed the first difficulty before the Dabie Mountains, and have not yet entered a place where ghosts are truly controlled.
Combined with the words of the fake Li Qiang in the dream within the dream, it is not difficult to conclude that the ghost that appeared in the dream was just a small BOSS on the periphery.
And I believe that the prince he mentioned will not only have such a small captain.
Next, after the team breaks through the skeleton soldiers in front of them, they will probably be greeted by the next mini-boss.
As for how many levels it would take to see the ghost king Wu Tian mentioned in the end, Qi Zhen was not sure.
But the rest area or buffer zone between the levels was so neatly arranged that Qi Zhen could see the joints at a glance, and then thought of the design logic of this task.
"Do you know these are so important to us?" Yu Liang asked.
"Of course it's important." Qi Zhen said, "For example, we are now in the animated world of Digimon."
"What? Digimon?" Yu Liang asked.
"It's terrible to have no childhood." Jiang Yan stabbed at the side in a non-yinful way.
"Does Longzhu know?" Qi Zhen asked.
"I know." Yu Liang nodded.
"Every time the protagonist group defeats a BOSS, do they have to take a break first?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Oh, you mean that as long as we defeat the mini-boss in the game, the system will provide us with a place to rest and recover, right?" Yu Liang understood.
"Yes, and not only that, in our game, it is up to us to decide when to fight with the opponent." Qi Zhen nodded.
"Wouldn't that make him invincible?" Yu Liang asked.
Qi Zhen shook her head and said, "Of course not. Have you ever seen any game where you can go back?"
"But we have the Earth Spirit Pearl!" Yu Liang continued.
"Okay, what you said is not wrong." Qi Zhen nodded, pinching her nose and admitting that Yu Liang's words made sense.
"But once we use the Earth Lingzhu, the escape artifact in the game, we may not necessarily have what is waiting for us when we get here." Li Qiang interjected.
Everyone nodded.
"Indeed, if it is not a last resort, we should not choose to leave here easily." Qi Zhen said.
"Now that we have passed the first level, if we go forward we will officially enter the area controlled by these ghosts. I believe that the difficulty of each level will also increase, just like..." Qi Zhen thought of Contra That game, but for a moment, I suddenly remembered Jiang Yan and swallowed back the rest of the words.
"Like what?" Yu Liang asked.
"Nothing." Qi Zhen shook her head.
Next, everyone in the team began to discuss combat strategies to deal with the skeleton army ahead.
Whether it is ghosts or the skeleton soldiers in front of them, strong light and fire are natural suppression and nemesis for them.
If Qi Zhen is the main combat force in the barrier during the day, then the main combat responsibilities will fall on the shoulders of captains Li Qiang and Jiang Yan.
Because Li Qiang's flamethrower was cruelly sold by Qi Zhen in exchange for other props needed to clear the level before entering the game.
Therefore, there are only three skills that can accomplish a large amount of damage in this battle.
Laser cannons, fireballs, and firestorms.
The mission of Qi Zhen and Yu Liang is to find other possible weaknesses of these skeleton soldiers.
For example, whether it is possible to rely on precise strikes on their weaknesses to cause damage, or whether these skeleton soldiers will be affected by mental shock.
The former allows Li Qiang to switch his weapon from a laser cannon to an M249. Although it is not as powerful as a laser cannon, the killing capability may be improved to a higher level.
After all, the cooling time of the laser cannon is too long.
The latter undoubtedly allowed the team to switch from two-point kills to three-point kills. It not only relieved the pressure on Li Qiang and Jiang Yan, but also allowed everyone in the team to rush into the skeleton group as if they were in an uninhabited land, completely solving their worries.
Before that, there was one more thing Qi Zhen wanted to try.
Outside the boundary monument, if you attack the opponent, will it force the boundary monument to lose its effectiveness and allow those skeleton soldiers to rush out in a swarm?
After the discussion, at Qi Zhen's suggestion, Li Qiang set up his specialty laser cannon on the spot.
Before they take the initiative to attack, they will naturally use the most ruthless skill.
It would be great if Li Qiang's quantum bombs could be released casually without any scruples.
Qi Zhen had thought about this problem countless times, but every time she could only shake her head helplessly.
A game can only be used once.
Even so, Li Qiang still redeemed it without hesitation, which shows how terrifying this skill's lethality is.
As the charged laser cannon sprayed out dazzling light as thick as a bucket from the muzzle in Li Qiang's hand, everything along the way evaporated into ashes under the high temperature of the blow.
The densely packed skeleton soldiers in front suddenly looked like piranhas smelling the smell of blood, and they all looked at the position where everyone in the team was standing.
Because the sky was dark and everyone's sight was blocked by the woods on both sides of the road, even though they had full psychological expectations for the number of enemies, everyone still underestimated the density of the skeleton soldiers.
A strange red light lit up in the dark eyes of those skeleton soldiers, reminding Qi Zhen of the night view of Beijing he saw while flying on a plane at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
"So many?!" Yu Liang said in shock, the fighting bow in his hand was already launched without hesitation.
Jiang Yan's fireball technique was slightly later, but because the speed of magic flying was slightly slower than that of bows and arrows, her magic was launched earlier than Yu Liang.
Naturally, those groups of skeleton soldiers did not sit still and wait to be killed.
Three seconds later, these skeleton soldiers walked up one after another in the direction of the team.
Yes, walk, not run.
It's not that scary, but it's quite oppressive.
Qi Zhen's plan failed, but she was not too depressed in her heart.
The system will not leave such boring bugs, allowing the team to experience the joy of killing monsters here.
But there was one thing that was still beyond Qi Zhen's expectation.
Skeleton soldiers are not just directly in front of the team and on both sides of the road.
Just after Li Qiang's laser cannon was fired, pairs of blood-red lights gradually lit up in the woods on the left and right sides of the team.
Those are Skeleton Soldier's eyes.
He actually fell into a situation where he was besieged by the enemy at the very beginning of the battle. I don't know whether to call him lucky or unlucky.
"Is this scientific?" Yu Liang shot the arrow and kept mumbling.
"Stop talking nonsense, have you found a weakness?" Jiang Yan asked.
After Li Qiang finished firing the laser cannon, he fired an anti-tank cannon forward.
With the explosion of the anti-tank cannon, countless skeleton soldiers were shattered into pieces.
Yu Liang was still shooting the skeleton soldiers in the front, left and right directions with the wooden arrows in his hand.
"The whole body is full of weaknesses and can be broken into pieces with a single beating. Does this make any sense?" Yu Liang complained.
A mouthful of spitting can drown someone, which is probably the situation we are talking about now.
But for these skeleton soldiers, they are just one bone per person.
The sound of bones and armor colliding became more and more intensive, and gradually merged into one, making a blood-curdling sound.
This reminded Qi Zhen of the tactic often used by the undead in the early days of "War 3" - the Sea of Skeletons.
Li Qiang replaced the M249 and started pouring bullets.
The skeleton soldiers, oh no, it should be said that the skeleton sea still seems to be slow at this time, but in fact it is steadily approaching the direction of the team step by step.
Use the Earth Spirit Bead or close the door and let Xiao Ao go?
No matter which one it is, Qi Zhen doesn’t want to choose.
Time is what Qi Zhen lacks most now.
Hurry up, you must come up with a solution quickly.
quick?
correct! quick!
Qi Zhen's eyes lit up, she had a solution!
"Captain, Yu Liang, and Sister Yanzi, the three of you are ready. We have to make a time difference and rush over before the enemy completes the encirclement!" Qi Zhen said hurriedly.
"How sure are you?" Li Qiang asked.
"According to my calculation, 80%!" Qi Zhen said firmly.
"Okay, let's do it!" Li Qiang said.
Qi Zhen did not tell them that what he meant by 80% did not mean breaking out of the sea of skeletons, but that no matter how long the team stayed here, there was an 80% chance that everyone in the team would not be harmed by the enemy at all, or even just Annihilate them all like this!
