secret dice.

Chapter 641 My Good Teammates
Seeing that nearly half of the zombies had been slaughtered thanks to the efforts of several challengers, Luo Jun took advantage of everyone's inattention and secretly took out the Fortune Chess and the monster deck.

"Heaven's Secret Dice!"

"Draw out the Plague Zombies!"

"Ding, the event difficulty is 100 points, the final point is 98+5, the event is successful!"

As the prompt sounded, Luo Jun drew out a card. On it was a picture of a zombie monster with its body rotten and its internal organs and bones exposed. It looked similar to the zombies that were now everywhere in the venue.

During the past month in the Cave of Creation, Luo Jun was not only training his own strength, but also familiarizing himself with the various functions of the Creation Chess, including the characteristics of various monsters and skills in the deck.

Plague zombies are monsters of the 30-breath level, but looking at their own abilities, according to Luo Jun's judgment, the large number of zombies on the field now are targeting ordinary zombies of the 10-breath level in the deck. Plague zombies that have been upgraded by one level are not much stronger than ordinary zombies in terms of combat power. At least in the eyes of practitioners in the Condensed Mind Realm, this difference can be ignored.

However, the plague zombies have a special ability, that is, after death, their bodies will burst out green poisonous mist, spreading plague and toxins. It is also because of this feature that after they are killed, their bodies will not disappear immediately, but will remain on the field for an additional period of time.

This is simply the best choice to hold back!
Although the rules require that others cannot be forced to leave the mission, he secretly increases the difficulty so that they will give up and leave voluntarily. There should be no problem with that.

Luo Jun held the card in his hand and took advantage of the chaos to secretly begin summoning plague zombies.

There are probably still 40,000 to 50,000 ordinary zombies on the field. If you summon too many at once, it will easily attract attention. So take it easy and just summon 3,000!
Thinking of this, Luo Jun directly threw down 90,000 yuan of Qi, and suddenly a large number of plague zombies appeared around him!

Because the teammates had given up on defending the center of the venue, a large number of zombies had occupied the middle area. Coupled with the cover of the mountains of corpses, no one noticed that there were some "traitors" among the many zombies.

And these plague zombies, under Luo Jun's control, began to surround the few people!

Although their combat power is not much stronger than ordinary zombies, they are commanded and advance and retreat in moderation, so the threat they pose is much greater. Soon, several teammates felt more and more exhausted. They found that some of the zombies seemed to be very "cunning" and not so easy to deal with, and they would cooperate. What's more deadly is that after killing them, they will spray poisonous smoke. Although there is protection from the Gangqi, you still have to be more careful to prevent inhalation.

Of course, to experienced practitioners of the Concentrated Mind Realm, these plague zombies are just a nuisance and not much of a threat, but their activeness does slow down the progress of clearing out ordinary zombies.

Finally, when the final deadline arrived, there were still more than 20,000 ordinary zombies left on the scene!
Originally, with everyone's strength, even if they couldn't clean them all up, at most only a small amount would be left, and the number should be controlled below one thousand. I didn't expect that in the end, there would be so many left!
As the countdown ended, all these zombies disappeared and turned into curse power, and Luo Jun also kept time and dispersed all the summons.

Feeling the power of the curse looming above the venue, everyone's heart was in their throat.

"This mission is too tricky!" Hansen cursed. "At the last minute, elite zombies appeared. They are more difficult to deal with than ordinary ones!"

"Yeah..." Luo Jun also echoed: "I don't have any internal energy, and I was almost choked to death by the poisonous smoke!"

"I don't think they are the last ones to appear." Elena shook her head. "I noticed that the newly born zombies at the edge of the venue did not show these elite individuals. It seems that they emerged from the center of the venue."

What a perceptive woman! Elena's words made Luo Jun nervous for a moment.

“So I guess…” Elena’s eyes swept over everyone: “This is because the zombies that have appeared have mutated. This also happens in the Wasteland world. Some zombies that live long enough will mutate and become more powerful monsters. This may be the hidden mechanism of this mission!”

Luo Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and others also agreed with this guess.

"I just don't know what the next round of curse will be..." Gonzalez frowned and stared at the ominous power in the sky with a sad face.

At this moment, a message indicating that the first round had been passed appeared on the ground in the center of the venue, and everyone received a six-pointed star. At the same time, some supplies appeared out of thin air on the ground, including food, medicine, ammunition and arrows, as well as pills for restoring vitality distributed per person.

Then, the sound of a mechanism operating was heard from the ground, and a large round hole appeared in the center of the venue, with the words "Escape Passage" written on it. As long as you jump down, you can leave this mission.

Of course, it was impossible for the teammates to give up so easily, but everyone's eyes were on Luo Jun.

"You are in a closed state, go first." Elena advised.

Luo Jun came to the cave entrance, secretly took a look inside, smacked his lips and said, "It's so deep..."

"Hurry up." Hansen urged, "This time it's very dangerous for you. There may be some monsters in the next round. We won't be able to take care of you then. It won't be easy for you to survive!"

"That makes sense!" Luo Jun nodded, but turned and left the cave entrance: "But I don't want to leave yet. Since I'm here, I should at least make it through the first cycle. Otherwise, it would be a shame if I can't take anything away!"

"Are you going to die?" Elena frowned and said, "From what I understand, you are not such an irrational person just for a little profit."

"That means you don't know me well enough." Luo Jun waved his hand.

"But it's really dangerous for you to stay." Teacher Gonzalez also advised: "Like Hansen said, this time the difficulty is not high, we can still protect you. When we can't take care of ourselves, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry about it, Father Gonzalez!" Luo Jun waved his hand and said, "Just treat me as if I don't exist. If I really die, it's just my bad luck. Please don't feel any psychological burden and don't feel sorry for me!"

Everyone tried to persuade Luo Jun again, but he refused to listen. They had no choice but to give up and started eating and drinking on the spot to replenish their energy.

Food and water were sufficient, but each person only had one vitality pill. The quality of these pills was not high. One pill could restore 50 breaths of vitality, which was indeed of excellent quality. For most practitioners, 50 breaths was basically the upper limit of most vitality. But as I said before, those who could cultivate to the state of concentration and come to participate in the Class A mission all had some talent. Under the survivor bias, the temperament of the few people present was not low, so these 50 breaths were not enough in comparison.

But generally speaking, the intensity of the first round is not high, and everyone’s energy consumption is not much, so they just rely on natural recovery and save the pills for use in future emergencies.

As for Luo Jun, he was even more "noble and upright" and gave his elixir to others.

The one-hour break passed quickly. When there were five minutes left before the next round, the curse in the sky surged, and at the same time, the description of the curse appeared on the ground:
Curse of Delay: Increases the cooldown time of the special effects of the Noble Phantasm. Number of monsters remaining: 21443.

Monster Strength: Very weak.

Curse Strength: Increases the cooldown time of Noble Phantasm special effects by 182%.

…………

Seeing the effect of the curse, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I thought it was a powerful curse, but it turned out to only increase the cooldown time of the Noble Phantasm... How many of the players who can reach the A-level rely on their Noble Phantasms? And it was in the first few rounds, facing relatively simple monsters, too powerful Noble Phantasms were useless, and it didn't matter if the weaker Noble Phantasms had a longer cooldown time.

The only unhappy person was Luo Jun, who thought to himself, I worked so hard to leave so many zombies behind, and this is the result?

The challengers, relieved, immediately cheered up and prepared for the next round of challenges. It is worth mentioning that when the curse appears, the escape passage is still open. I have to say that this task is quite user-friendly. If you find that the curse is too strong to deal with, you can temporarily choose to escape.

Soon, as the countdown ended, the next round of challenges began. This time, large groups of skeleton soldiers appeared.

At least the zombies still have some flesh on their bodies, but these skeleton soldiers are just skeletons, which gives people a feeling of degeneration.

As soon as these skeletons appeared, they stretched out their bony legs and rushed over. Although their movements did not look very agile, they were much more flexible than those slow zombies.

Moreover, most of these skeletons were holding weapons and wearing armor. Although the weapons were mostly rusted, broken, and full of gaps, and the armor was deformed, missing pieces, and full of holes, and it would fall apart when walking, but in the end, being armed was always better than being unarmed.

The group used the same trick again, launching another round of attacks with guns, but compared to the last round of zombies, guns were much less effective against skeletons. After all, the body structure of these skeletons was hollow, and bullets could easily miss. Even if they hit, without the resistance of flesh and blood, they would only break one or two bones, and it would be difficult to cause effective damage.

The way to destroy the skeleton soldiers is also very simple, just break the skeletons completely. Compared with bullets, arrows or even swords, blunt weapons or impact are more effective against these skeleton soldiers.

After realizing this, everyone began to change their tactics, mainly using shotguns or explosive weapons to attack. Elena also used a treasure to summon a huge dinosaur-like monster. This monster weighed dozens of tons and rushed through the sea of ​​skeletons, leaving broken bones and helmets everywhere. The killing efficiency was extremely high, and the cold weapons of the skeleton soldiers could not cause effective damage to its thick skin covered with scales.

Just like that, with everyone's efforts, the level of skeleton soldiers has come to an end. As always, at the last moment, everyone began to break into the enemy camp and try to reduce the number as much as possible.

Just then, Luo Jun started to act up again.

Skeleton soldiers? I have them too!
He still took out the cards and drew a Skeleton Soldier. Compared to the Plague Zombie, the Skeleton Soldier of the Fortune Heavenly Chess is cheaper. It is a ten-breath level monster, and its combat power is almost the same as the Skeleton on the field, but it has a tenacious effect, that is, after being broken once, it will try to piece itself together and fight again. It will turn into dust and dissipate only after being broken a second time.

This special effect of rebirth can be regarded as a magical skill for any powerful monster, but for weaklings like skeleton soldiers, its practical significance is far less than the poison gas explosion of plague zombies. However, in this situation, after being scattered, it will not disappear, just like those ordinary skeleton soldiers, and at the critical moment, it can get up and attack, which is hard to defend against.

Having learned from the lesson last time, Luo Jun summoned some skeletons earlier this time, and summoned five thousand at a time. He mixed them in the skeleton army and deliberately attacked them, forcing several teammates to divide their energy to deal with these cunning skeletons, thus reducing their killing efficiency.

However, the threat posed by the skeleton soldiers was not as great as the poison gas of the plague zombies. In the end, Luo Jun's performance was not as good as in the first round, with only more than 10,000 skeletons left.

"It seems that at the last moment, there will always be some advanced monsters..."

After the second round of challenges, everyone ate while reviewing the battle.

"At the end of this time, a lot of resurrected skeletons suddenly appeared, and they were very cunning!" Ivanka complained: "I even saw a skeleton soldier perform the Night Fighting Eight-Direction Hidden Knife Style in front of me!"

"What's that?" Diana had never heard of this messed up phrase.

"That's a direct translation of a sword technique from Zhendan." Gonzalez explained, "I also saw a skeleton soldier who could kick. After I smashed him, he got up not long after and kicked me again..."

"I saw it too!" Taim also nodded heavily.

"Luo, are you okay?" Elena glanced at Luo Jun: "Later, I saw your figure submerged in a group of skeletons..."

"I'm lucky. I managed to save my life." Luo Jun also cursed: "Who designed this crappy mission? They are such a piece of shit. They are just deliberately disgusting!"

"That's right!" Hansen took a bite of the chicken leg and cursed angrily: "If there really is a designer, his son will definitely be born without an asshole... No, his whole family has no assholes!"

"Uh... that's not the case..."

After a short rest, the next round of challenges soon began. In the next few rounds, the monsters were indeed stronger than the previous ones, but there was no qualitative change.

The third round is a group of zombies. Their individual combat capabilities are much stronger than zombies and skeletons, but their refresh frequency is much lower, so the overall pressure is not too great.

The monster in the fourth round is a flying skull that can spray poison gas from its mouth to attack. Although it is very flexible, its attack power is not strong and it is not difficult to deal with.

In the fifth round, the intensity finally increased, and a group of huge, bloated zombies appeared. Although these zombies were several sizes larger than the normal version and as fat as balls, they moved more flexibly, and sometimes even rolled into a ball. Once they were attacked and killed, they would explode into a large amount of acid, which was quite threatening. Fortunately, the number was much less than in the previous rounds.

During this period, Luo Jun had been secretly tripping them up, but the difficulty of the first cycle was not very high, and the curses were all some minor negative effects. The teammates could still cope with it, and no one suggested giving up the mission.

Finally, everyone stumbled all the way to the sixth round, which was the last stage of the first cycle.
