Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

The gray fog was bounded by the porch.

When Zong Shen passed through the plaque of the Dark Hell Palace, he was greeted by deep darkness.

With the night vision ability granted by enhanced vision, he could barely see the vague outline of the hall inside, but nothing else could be seen clearly.

His keen perception was also weakened a lot after entering the hall.

The situation here was very different from the outside world. It was obviously the home court of [Dark Hell King·Ming].

After overcoming the slight discomfort caused by the sudden weakening of perception, Zong Shen walked forward more than ten meters and slowly stood still.

More than 800 soldiers lined up behind him and followed in line.

So far, they have been foils.

It's just Zong Shen's chips to get high scores.

If it weren't for the fact that leading the team into the dungeon could get more points based on the number of soldiers who survived, Zong Shen would rather play the dungeon alone.

With his demigod-level combat power, it is still very easy to control a legendary monster room dungeon.

With all the members in place, the dark hall finally had a glimmer of light.

About 40 to 50 meters in front of everyone, there was a high platform covered with mysterious patterns.

The patterns on the platform lit up like a light strip.

The cold blue light instantly illuminated the dome and cast a strange shadow behind it.

Zong Shen looked at the high platform from afar. In the center where all the secret patterns gathered, there was a flickering blue fire leaping.

The combination of the dark blue fire and the cold light emitted by the secret patterns created a dreamy light effect.

And in the leaping flames, a figure that looked like a horse was gradually taking shape.

Zong Shen's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"It's a Qilin!"

He had seen the relevant pictures of [Dark King·Ming] in the introduction of the monster room.

Ming's image was a Qilin with blue flames all over his body.

But he was thinner than the Qilin in those works of art.

At the same time, there was no auspicious aura on his body, only the oppression from the netherworld.

The process of forming did not last too long. The body of [Dark King of Hell·Ming] on the high platform changed from being light to solid.

It seemed to sense the gaze that Zong Shen was paying attention to it, and its round eyes with majesty immediately turned away.

It was not afraid of the strong aura that Zong Shen was faintly emitting.

In Zong Shen's opinion, it was quite brave and fearless.

This made him more interested in Ming, and at the same time, he was more certain that Ming must be related to the Eastern Continent.

The so-called [Dark King of Hell] can be understood as a "black unicorn" in essence.

After mastering the power of life and death, it is not surprising that it is called the King of Hell.

Zong Shen thought about it for a while and soon came to a conclusion.

However, the skinny unicorn in front of him is still difficult to compare with the King of Hell in mythology.

Ming's cool appearance did not change the remaining countdown time.

There are still 1 minute and 21 seconds left to start the real third stage.

Therefore, neither side moved, maintaining a strange and calm confrontation.

Without feeling too much hostility, Zong Shen only felt majesty and contempt from [Dark King·Ming].

It has a stronger sense of pride than the dragons outside.

Even though it was defeated and imprisoned by King Arthur, this pride has never been erased.

In this way, it really has some charm of the oriental "divine beast".

In this strange confrontation, the passage of time seems to have become traceless.

The digits are first reset to zero, followed by the seconds.

When the seconds become 0, the countdown disappears.

Not far away, Ming roared, and his hoofs covered with blue flames crushed the high platform.

All the light went out, and the surroundings sank into darkness again.

The blue flames on Ming also converged, and almost merged into the darkness at the same time when the light went out.

Zong Shen's right hand has a fake eye with a texture like jade.

This fake eye lit up almost at the same time as his eyes.

He was mobilizing his perception skills to try to make a preliminary lock.

The fake eye in his hand was called [Eye of Truth (Special)].

It was a magical artifact of [Special] quality.

Its skill of the same name could see through any stealth effect of level not exceeding level eight, and could also track a specified trajectory, which could be regarded as the nemesis of stealth ability.

However, this time, it had no effect.

Especially when Zong Shen locked onto Ming's tracing trajectory, the light spot representing the trajectory almost covered all the darkness.

Frowning slightly, he put away [Eye of Truth (Special)] in an instant.

"Find Ming's location!"

Thoughts quickly came to his mind, and he turned to the strategy module for help.

The golden subtitles quickly gave a reply, but the answer made his brows lock tighter.

(Darkness is Ming's world, and it is omnipresent in the darkness of the hall)

...

Ming's hiding method is obviously different from ordinary stealth.

It truly blends into the darkness in the environment.

No wonder the tracking track fed back by the [Eye of Truth] just now was almost covered with darkness.

The soldiers in the rear were protected by the light curtain of the large-scale guard skill.

This made the light and shadow in the hall a little fragmented.

In front of the crowd was extremely dark, and there was a shining aura of the shield behind the crowd.

However, those auras could not be emitted normally, and they were "stuck" in place by the darkness, making the two appear distinct.

The more so, the weirder the environment seemed.

Zong Shen stood alone in the front, and he was not afraid of Ming's sneak attack.

The level gap between the two sides is too big. No matter how strong Ming is, it will be difficult to cross a big stage and kill him instantly.

As for the power of life and death, it is indeed a powerful rule.

But the Ming in front of him is not the real Lord of Hell, and has nothing to do with the legendary God of Death.

After analyzing the essence, the essence of the power of life and death is just a power of rules.

As long as there are rules, the most basic chain of strength cannot be bypassed.

Even the feared "instant death" judgment skills usually have clear probability limits.

If Ming was really able to instantly kill enemies at a higher level, then its rating wouldn't be legendary.

The original King Arthur might not have been able to subdue it easily.

Zong Shen stood still and did not move.

He responded to Ming's pride with calmness.

Even though the darkness around him has become a "mirror" that Ming may appear at any time, Zong still maintains a stable mentality.

He canceled the effect of [Eye of Truth], and a faint black smoke suddenly appeared in his palm.

They were shrouded in darkness, as if they had never been there.

Slightly loosening his palm, you can see that there is a round and smooth jade in his hand.

This jade also looks black.

It's just that there seems to be turbulent waves brewing inside the jade.

The mysterious black substance was swaying inside it, giving it a rather unstable feeling.

The jade itself is a kind of container.

The flow of black matter inside it will not actually change with the shaking and fluctuation of the outside world.

It has its own "ideas".

But not too lively.

They are completely like low-level creatures without intelligence, repeating certain fluctuations boringly.

At this moment, the jade is exuding a chilling aura of the abyss.

It has a fatal attraction to any evil creature.

This is the [Jade of the Abyss (Glory Level VII)] found in the Azshara Elf Treasure House.

It has only one effect, called [Abyss Interference], which can continuously release the breath of the abyss and induce an inducing effect on the surrounding evil creatures within a certain range.

The abyss breath is particularly effective against high-level evil creatures.

Ming shouldn't be a completely evil creature.

But even if it is just a gray state that is both good and evil, any power involving death may be induced by the breath of the abyss.

After all, it is an item with a level up to the seventh level of brilliance level, so there is no problem in handling a legendary creature.

"Boohoo!"

really.

The sound of rushing wind suddenly came out of the dark hall.

Although the changes could not be seen clearly with the eyes, blurry images were sent to Zong Shen's brain.

The darkness in the hall stirred.

Like a whirlwind condensing, Ming's body emerged again.

The blue flame is wrapped in darkness, and the seemingly opaque feeling is hazy.

Regardless, darkness remains the dominant color.

Ming appeared hesitantly staring at Zong Shen, his eyes focused on his hands.

"Come on, don't you want it?"

"The smell is so alluring and wonderful..."

"Are you afraid?"

Zong Shen smiled and opened his palm, revealing the jade stone that exuded black energy.

The aura of the abyss seems to have become stronger.

Zong Shen's words successfully angered it.

There was no roar, just a growing darkness.

The blue flame that had just risen was suddenly extinguished.

Ming disappeared again.

Zong Shen narrowed his eyes, and in an instant a wonderful magic circle appeared above his head.

This array resembles the Yin and Yang Pisces, with blue flames and black flames forming a harmonious and blending pattern.

Unlike the yin and yang Pisces on the earth, there is no "yin and yang fish eyes" in it.

The magic circle formed quickly, and then hit Zong Shen's head with lightning speed.

The blue flame represents rebirth and the black flame represents death.

The magic circle has a destructive aura that makes people tremble.

But the will contained in it is different from the [life separation] and [death farewell] of the parricide Ya.

It was as if Yuandi Zongshen had expected it. At the same time that the magic circle appeared, invisible fluctuations suddenly emitted from his body.

The space immediately felt a little unreal.

Layers upon layers of water are advancing toward the outside, like waves rushing to the shore.

The magical realm unfolded almost at the same time as Mingfa's magic circle.

This is the domain-type skill that comes with [Illusion God·Spirit of the Sky]——

——Sky Spirit Realm.

It will take itself as the center of the circle and directly create a three-dimensional space spirit field with a radius of one kilometer.

The space within the domain coverage can be blocked in an instant.

At the same time, it repels all elemental magic power.

Moreover, while the field is open, Zong Shen can reduce all types of attack damage by 35%, and obtain a 25% gain in all attributes.

This effect can be superimposed with most non-teachable and unique types of status enhancement effects. At the same time, the user will fully control the location and status of all creatures in the field. It lasts for 30 minutes and has a cooldown time of up to 180 hours.

But this is a world of projection, and any skill or material consumption can be restored.

In addition to the inherent penalties, it doesn't matter how you consume your cards or props, because the lord system encourages everyone to go all out.

If it weren't for the fact that each lord only has one chance at most, it would really feel like a Souls-like game.

The rules only limit spatial movement, and similar domain methods are not prohibited.

After the domain was unfolded, the wonderful magic circle composed of blue flames and black flames shook violently, and then became faint.

It did not disappear completely, but was weakened by the repulsive nature of the domain.

And the magic circle's original swift descent became extremely slow.

With the attribute and damage immunity blessing, Zong Shen also completed the switch of equipment in his hand in an instant.

He put away the [Abyss Jade] and replaced it with the Moon Wolf Fang. Just a gentle wave, the remaining faint magic circle was broken and disappeared into a drifting glow.

The unfolding of [Void Spirit Domain] made the attack and defense switch.

Ming's environmental advantage disappeared.

For Ming, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

From its home field to the state of "Ming can go, Shen can also go".

Even after the high-level domain was unfolded, Zong's advantage was even greater.

Because in the domain, Ming's concealment is no longer difficult to track.

Whether it is the deep darkness or space, it is encompassed and mastered by the domain.

Countless ethereal silver-white lights fell like raindrops in the field.

Their appearance finally drove away the stubborn darkness.

The environment on the scene became much brighter. A few darknesses lingered in the corners of the hall, and there were not many places for Ming to hide.

Zong Shen curled his lips slightly, and did not speak again.

Ming's specialness could not make it challenge higher levels, not to mention that Zong Shen also had so many strange objects, not just a demigod-level combat power.

It was not surprising that there would be such a result.

Without any hesitation, his arm swung again.

The fangs of the moon wolf suddenly shone brightly.

When the silver moonlight appeared, a series of blade lights also swung towards different dark corners in the hall with Zong Shen's slashing.

The number of blade lights that appeared depended entirely on the frequency of Zong Shen's slashing.

They hit the corners one after another, breaking the simple blue bricks.

The building of this hall was obviously specially strengthened, and there was no durability.

Although the attack still had a destructive effect, the power was not as strong as that of the outside world. Even so, the power of each blade light was no less than that of a high-explosive grenade.

At least a few meters of surface damage range could be guaranteed.

The attack finally forced Ming out.

In one of the dark corners that was hit, the figure of the thin unicorn appeared again.

It was no longer proud, and a trace of determination flashed in its eyes in a very human way as it looked at the blade light that completely blocked the way ahead.

"Life and death are mixed!"

An inexplicable roar appeared, which obviously did not belong to any word, but Zong Shen could clearly know what it meant.

The special rules of life and death mixed together vibrated,

Ming turned into a furnace at this moment.

The thin body became extremely unstable.

The blue and black light and shadow expanded in its body, stretching the scales.

Zong Shen was not surprised but laughed, he finally felt the true potential of Ming.

The special rules of the fusion of life and death are very unique!

His hair stood up, and he actually felt a little urgency to face life and death! (End of this chapter)
