Returning from the abyss

Chapter 385 "Xuanyue"

The two leaders were eventually killed by the Iron Giant.

The toxin has no effect on the giant, and the corrosive liquid only damages the giant's surface.It's the same as taking no damage for giants that aren't really mechanical.There were two piles of mud on the ground, Mayuri looked around proudly at the people around her, then asked the steel giant to peel off the corroded parts, and followed her back to Helena.

"Let's go find the next one."

Helena nodded to her, then glanced at Lu Ning.Mayuri followed her gaze, and then provoked a faint smile.

"Please show me your skills. It's better to find friends with similar interests, don't you think so?"

Lu Ning looked at her silently, and did not make any answer.Mayuri didn't expect much either, 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 the three of Helena are not considered friends.But Helena didn't have the slightest displeasure on her face, she still kept a smile.

weirdo.

After leaving these words, several people left the same way, and the 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, some people even sighed.

"Level four props." Levanska said with certainty, "The strength of these E-level creatures seems to be lower than the fourth-level props. In this case, we may also need to accumulate a little stars."

"But, but the kill points have been taken away." Beside Levanska, the young Alpha who joined last stammered a bit, "She has level [-] props, scoring will only become easier and easier, and then get More props..."

"There's no need to mess around." Shan Lianmei frowned a little displeased when he heard Alpha's words, "If the crisis in this garden is really set up in detail, then the fourth-level props will definitely not be allowed to go sideways."

"If you paid attention to the battle just now, you will find that after the iron giant killed the two leaders, its size has also shrunk a lot." Levanska chuckled, "Any item has some Use restrictions, it is impossible to rely on it forever."

"Speaking of this, Lewand, why are you fighting the leader here?"

Lu Ning asked.

I don't mention the people who acted together, Shan Lianmei acted alone, why did they come back suddenly?
"Then I have to introduce this friend a little bit." Levanska beckoned, and let the man who went out alone to drag the pitcher come over, "William Heath, he brought us a very important Originally, we summoned 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... Grain Rain."

"It's similar to what I thought." Levanska nodded. "Hearing the name of the crisis, you basically know what kind of crisis and what weather problem the unlocking of the four gardens corresponds to."

Great heat, frost and great cold.

"But have you noticed another problem?" Levanska looked at Lu Ning, "The number of the trap you triggered is twelve, regardless of the difficulty sequence, if the four weather unlocking numbers are arranged together, the spring If you are the leader, the final Great Cold crisis should be No. 15, but there are sixteen traps."

"The difficulty of Gu Yu's crisis is not very high, and most of the leaders are only E-level... Do you know the division of this level? There should be a corresponding task now."

"I know." Levanska said simply, "You can understand this after a little systematic study in the pavilion, but it can only be learned from the subject of history. I don't know that it is actually used as a formal classification here. .”

"so……"

"Lu, the difficulty of this crisis is not high based on the fact that some people have props, and it is still very difficult for us with E-level weapons to deal with a leader. You may have problems with this lowest level because of that level division." Some misunderstandings. What you need to know is that according to the understanding at the time, the highest output of conventional combat is A-level weapons, and higher-level weapons are strategic." Levanska said seriously, "The four E's The crisis cannot be solved if it is not dealt with by a special person, not to mention there is a D this time, look at your equipment, the D-level Cordyceps is still not killed."

"Well, what do you mean then?"

"I don't think the crisis will end easily."

Levanska's words surprised everyone.

"As the monsters get stronger and stronger, what needs to be done is no longer a direct confrontation, but a delay and delay—just like what Lu Ning did. We will gradually be unable to keep up with the speed at which the monsters grow stronger, and we will be able to stand up at that time There are only a handful of people, what should the rest do?"

He looked around at the people around him.

"Enhancing your ability to escape, and fully understanding the attack habits of monsters, so that they can attack each other, is probably the main thing we need to do later. I know that many of you still feel that there is still room left, but before dealing with E-level monsters head-on It has already shown us the limit of the team. The conventional method is at most to deal with the servants, and the leader cannot be confronted."

"Lewan! Even if you say that..."

"So I'm going to let everyone know what unconventional fighting methods are." Levanska glanced at Fu Junnian, "Risks and rewards are always equal."

Dakoren's low laughter was very conspicuous in the quiet crowd, and it was obvious that the situation had finally turned into what he expected.

=====================
The night replaced the day again, this time there was no setting sun, just darkness, and the bright moon in the sky.

Dark cloud patterns appeared on the walls and ceiling, but they were not projected clouds, but rather an obvious artistic image. This also made the garden under the bright moon look like a picture scroll, somewhat losing its sense of reality.

The countdown appears on the wall in the form of fluorescence, flashing every ten seconds, and the notice has already been announced, just as Ji Changhao said before - "Xuanyue".

When it came to the last 30 seconds, the flicker turned into a flash every second, and more and more timing flashes appeared on the wall. Lu Ning also felt that her heartbeat was beating more and more violently with the flashes.

"It's too quiet."

Now she, Maoyou, Ping Na, and Joe who returned to the team are squatting in the "storage room" in the No. [-] courtyard. Levanska handed over a three-star mission and a one-star mission here to Lu Ning, and she received the mission After that, I quickly dealt with the one-star task, and even had time to come back and wait for a refresh.After that, there was a warning of the crisis, and she and her people squatted in this well-connected warehouse to wait for the arrival of the crisis.

[Mission Level [-]: In any crisis, kill a leader. 】

[Task Level [-]: Kill two units before the end of the next crisis. 】

Three-star missions proved that as the crisis progressed, the difficulty of missions will continue to increase; while one-star missions finally began to secretly encourage cannibalism.Kill two "units", in addition to the monsters that appeared in the crisis, the people here are probably also included.

The moment the countdown ended, the flicker disappeared, only the surroundings of the moonlight suddenly seemed to darken a lot, a gust of wind stirred up the fallen leaves outside the house, and the rustling sound seemed to bring the cold wind into people's hearts.

[The place where the mysterious moon shines, the place where the nine lights shine together. 】

[Second Crisis: Xuan Yue

Leaders: Jiangyi (D), Xuanjia (D), Zaopao, Feixiu.

Servants: Jinyao, Mushi, Tudun, Shuiling, Fire Lotus, Sunburn, Moonsong, Astrology, Heavenly Guidance. 】

The high tower rises to the ground, and the Jiuyao guards the Xuanyi.

The ground under her feet began to tremble violently, Lu Ning hurriedly squatted down and lay down on the ground so as not to be shaken.But Ping Na fell directly, and was shaken directly to the room inside by the earthquake.Joe grabbed the door frame of the house and tried his best to stabilize his body. He kept his mouth shut and dared not say a word.For a moment, the light outside was shining brightly, as if a sun was passing over the courtyard. Through the window, Lu Ning clearly saw a blazing white star passing close to the ceiling, and then smashed like a shooting star in front of the house in No. [-] courtyard. , the ground instantly turned a dark red color like molten lava, and all the fallen leaves within five meters around were turned into fly ash.

Immediately afterwards, there was a high-frequency sonic boom close to the limit of decibels that the human body can receive. This was an indiscriminate attack on the entire Autumn Garden. Lu Ning hurriedly covered her ears and opened her mouth to breathe hard. She could feel her The five sense organs are bleeding out, the ears are almost deaf, and even the mind seems to be getting confused.But that's all, the white bug flew out of her body, quickly swallowed the sound of the second sonic boom, and saved the four people in the room.

"Sunburn and Yueyong?" Lu Ning shook her head to wake herself up, and swallowed the blood in her throat. Ji Changhao predicted the second crisis correctly, but did he guess the intensity?
There are nine servants, fewer than ever before, and all of them have their own names. Does it mean that the strength of the servants cannot be underestimated?

And the strength of the boss actually skipped the E-level, two D-level bosses!Knowing that there is only one Cordyceps sinensis left in the crisis of Guyu, it is equivalent to saying that there are three D-level monsters wandering in the Four Seasons Garden now!
"This difficulty jumps too much..."

Lu Ning covered her head, thinking about the movement carefully, the sun had already turned into a shooting star and rushed towards the elevator shaft. These servants were completely different from before. Instead of actively looking for the humans in the garden to fight, they ran aimlessly. ?

"Doesn't this mean that the previous strategy of pulling monsters is basically ineffective? Levanska...you better have some backup plan." Lu Ning ran out of the house, and now a monster in the No. No, Yueyong's location can only be roughly confirmed by the direction of the sound, while the rest did not appear in this courtyard.

"Thirteen monsters, about three in each garden, the probability of all appearing in one area is indeed very low. If the Spring Garden is not completely locked, there will definitely be some of them... Wait, the sun was burning just now The direction is the elevator? These monsters have evolved from being able to open doors to being able to use elevators?"

She hurriedly chased the obvious ashes on the ground to the path of the scorching sun, only to find that the elevator had been locked and could not be used temporarily.

"Lu! Wait for us! It's dangerous to act alone!"

Mao You chased him up from behind, and Lu Ning glanced at them and found that the three were still there, feeling relieved.

"They'll use the elevator."

"What? That thing just now was..." Joe was shocked.

"Don't talk about it just now, now there is another one here that continues to emit interference, the direction is..." Lu Ning let the sound louse flutter, and pointed out the direction of the sound, "Towards that side, but I don't know if it is the courtyard or the corridor. .”

"Wait! Maybe there is a leader! D-rank! Lu, the props on us can't deal with D-rank enemies!" Maoyou hurriedly dissuaded.

"Aunt Pinna cast a phantom first, Qiao, you are ready to hate candles, we can protect ourselves. The most important thing now is to get rid of the sonic boom attacking the entire garden, otherwise the villains who have no defense will die !"

The sonic boom attack has gone beyond the range of aversion candles. Since Joe exchanged this item, Lu Ning can also understand that the purpose of this item is to keep the creatures that are malicious or hostile to you away from you for no reason, but it cannot deal with it. an indiscriminate attack.To block it, it must be a third-level prop such as a sound louse or a mobile barrier.

"But it's okay if we're fine?" Maoyou was still very worried, "We don't need to take risks to help others, right? The attack is not fatal in one shot, and if we can't hold it, we won't hide in other gardens?"

"What if the elevator doesn't work?" Lu Ning asked back, "The monsters are also counted when they use the elevator."

"Can……"

"And the enemies this time will run around. Even if we stay here, the probability of us encountering the leader is not low. It's better to take the initiative." Lu Ning went directly to open the door of the corridor, "You still have three seconds to decide Not following."

"You have tone lice, of course we follow you, or we're crazy?" Joe scratched his head, "But we don't want to die! You have to keep me alive, Lu! Swear to me!"

"I even myself—" Lu Ning was about to reply, but the movement of her hand stopped for a moment. She looked at the button of the door at her hand, and pressed it twice again. The button gave off a faint red light, but the door could not be opened.

"What's wrong?" Maoyou also saw the pause in Lu Ning's movements.

"The door is locked?" Joe asked aloud.

Lu Ning's face darkened slightly.

She had always believed that the garden served as a neutral ground between monsters and people, but now it seemed obvious that something could bypass this rule.
