This assassin is upright

Chapter 234: Unexpected Encounter! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"Om-"

Along with a low humming sound, the shaking of the ground stopped abruptly, and countless crossbow arrows around were retracted into the wall with a "click" sound, leaving no trace at all.

Lu Wen stopped swinging the sword in his hand and looked at Yu Zhun beside him, "Is this the end?"

"That's right." Yu Zhun nodded slightly and looked in the direction of the guard stone statue that had just been shattered.

At this moment, a stone pillar is slowly rising from the base of the guarding stone statue. The three [Withered Slate Fragments] on the top of the stone pillar are shining with a bright gray luster. When the stone pillar rises to its highest point, there are two treasure chests at the bottom.

"You open the treasure chest, and I'll take the fragments." Yu Zhun said, and in a flash, he stepped lightly on the side of the stone pillar and quickly climbed up the newly raised stone pillar, "Hurry up!"

Lu Wen didn't have time to ask Yu Zhun why he was going so fast, as his body instinctively rushed towards the treasure chest below.

"pat-"

When the first treasure chest was opened, a gray energy instantly swept over and completely covered Lu Wen.

Lu Wen: “…”

Gritting his teeth, he opened the second treasure chest. Without even having time to see what was inside, Lu Wen grabbed it and then retreated as fast as he could, leaving the area eroded by the power of withering.

Even though his speed had reached the maximum possible, he was still eroded by 2.2% of the power of withering in the process, and a grey line appeared on his cheek, like a scar.

On the other side, Yu Zhun, who had already reached the top of the stone pillar, was just out of the range of erosion by the power of withering. After taking away the fragments, he looked down and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Then he used displacement to bypass it and then met up with Lu Wen.

"You really screwed me over." Lu Wen threw the item he got from the second treasure chest to Yu Zhun with a look of resentment on his face. "What is this?"

Yu Zhun casually opened the portal of [Hidden World Candlelight], and then took the prop thrown by Lu Wen. After just one look, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"You're lucky, kid!"

"What kind of prop is this?" Hermod, who had walked out of the hidden world, heard Yu Zhun's exclamation and couldn't help but speak curiously.

"This is the [Newborn Dewdrop]." Yu Zhun picked up the prop that looked like a small test tube in his hand, and looked through the light at a small drop of liquid suspended inside the test tube, which was glowing with a light green glow.

"This is the potion I mentioned before, which can reduce the erosion of the power of withering." Yu Zhun smiled, "Although a trap of the power of withering was opened, it is not a loss to be able to obtain it."

"What are you waiting for? Give it to me now." Lu Wen stretched out his hand towards Yu Zhun and scratched his cheek somewhat awkwardly.

In addition to permanently reducing Lu Wen's overall attributes during the dungeon, the erosion of the power of withering will also cause continuous discomfort such as itching and pain.

The latter also has an impact on the player's combat and actions.

"Don't worry." Yu Zhun looked at Lu Wen helplessly, "[Newborn Dew] is a relatively rare item in the withered ruins. This one drop can reduce the degree of erosion by 10%."

"Are you sure you want to use it now?"

"Forget it." Lu Wen shook his head.

After hearing what Yu Zhun said, he also knew that it was a bit of a waste for him to use this item at this moment.

Scratching his cheek again, Lu Wen couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that I have to endure it for a while.

"Don't worry." Yu Zhun patted Lu Wen on the shoulder, "Let's take turns opening the boxes. There will definitely be a time when we get caught."

“Maybe it will be me next time.”
-
"pat-"

A familiar voice appeared, and Lu Wen's heart sank as he opened the treasure chest. The next moment, gray energy swept over him.

Lu Wen: “???”

"Why is it me again?!"

Covered in dust and dirt, Lu Wen evacuated from the treasure chest area and felt a little tired when he saw the strange expressions of the four people behind him.

Over the past two days, the group encountered various mechanisms that Yu Zhun had previously described while exploring the withered ruins. Knowing the mechanisms in advance, they were able to handle them with ease, with the exception of the treasure chest.

This is the fifth time that Lu Wen has opened a trapped treasure chest.

If you proceed with the strategy of "leaving no treasure chest untouched", it is inevitable that you will find a trapped treasure chest.

What made Lu Wen tired was that Yu Zhun, who also opened treasure chests, had never opened a trapped treasure chest.

"I now doubt whether you have some way to see clearly what is in the treasure chest, and then deliberately cheat me." Lu Wen looked at Yu Zhun with unfriendly eyes and indignantly.

"How is that possible?" Yu Zhun spread his hands, looking innocent. "We took turns opening the treasure chest, you once and I once."

"It's just your bad luck."

Hermod, Udyr, and Yu Zhu nodded at the same time, and the look in their eyes when they looked at Lu Wen was almost saying that this guy was a loser.

Lu Wen: “…”

"Is my luck... really that bad?" He couldn't help but doubt himself.

"It's not bad, at least the props you offer are better than mine." Yu Zhun smiled.

Lu Wen's luck is of the extreme type, either extremely good or extremely bad.

"Here!" Brigadier General Yu threw the [New Dewdrop] that he had opened two days ago to Lu Wen. "It just so happens that your erosion rate has exceeded 10%, so it's not a waste to use it."

"Okay." After taking the props, Lu Wen's mood quickly turned from gloomy to sunny and he opened the small test tube.

The dewdrops floated out and disappeared the moment they touched Lu Wen, while the gray lines around Lu Wen faded away rapidly like melting ice and snow, and finally disappeared completely.

The five people continued to move forward and soon saw a mighty stone statue of a hunter holding a long sword standing at the corner ahead.

"It seems that we are lucky." Udyr said softly, "If we hadn't obtained the [New Dew], the erosion of Rune would have been enough to awaken the hunter statue."

The other four nodded in agreement, looking relieved.

In the past two days, they encountered an awakened hunter statue once, which was awakened by another unlucky raider team.

The attacking teams that entered this dungeon at this time were not weak, but the five-man attacking team was nearly chopped down by a hunter stone statue. In the end, it was Yu Zhun and his five men who were passing by who took action and smashed it.

Of course, Yu Zhun and his five companions also killed them.

After seeing the extraordinary attributes of the hunter statue and the powerful strength it displayed, the other four people finally understood why Yu Zhun showed a certain degree of fear towards the hunter statue.

The small boss-level monster in the Lv60 copy is so terrifying.

“Heh, a mere hunter statue.” After reducing the erosion by 10%, Lu Wen felt that he was good enough. He strode forward and gave the hunter statue a middle finger without hesitation, “Come and chop me!”

Almost the moment the words fell, the surrounding space began to rumble and vibrate continuously.

"What the hell?!"

Feeling the vibration under his feet, Lu Wen couldn't help but shrink his head and calm down again, "What the hell is this? A new mechanism?"

"It's not a mechanism." Yu Zhun quickly came to Lu Wen's side, looking solemnly at a slowly cracking wall not far away and a rapidly closing passage behind him, "It's the [Intricate Stone]!"

Upon hearing Yu Zhun's words, the expressions of the other three people who followed quickly changed at the same time.

In the past two days of exploration, they also encountered the [Intricate Stone] once, and knew what would happen if they smashed it. However, they did not smash the [Intricate Stone] at this moment.

Well, there seems to be only one scenario.

Another attacking team shattered a piece of [Intricate Stone], and the area they are currently in happens to be within the range of the change!

Realizing this, the five men first smashed the hunter statue nearby to avoid any further trouble, and then prepared for battle.

A feeling of descending quickly came, as if the entire space was sinking. With a loud "bang", the sinking stopped abruptly, but then the venue began to move sideways.

When everything was over, five players were standing on the other side of the connecting road.

After seeing the server number above the other party's head, Yu Zhun and the other three's expressions changed, and then they looked at Hermode at the same time.

Because, the strategy team in front of them is exactly the same as Hermod, coming from Server No. 9, the Fourth Divine District!
After a brief surprise, the other party also noticed Hermod in the team. The leader, Jekar, grinned with a playful look on his face, "Hey, isn't this our fellow countryman?"

"It's really surprising to meet you here."

"It's really unexpected." Hermod said calmly with an indifferent expression, "I thought you two had been eliminated a long time ago."

Hearing this, the expressions of Jekar and Omisro both darkened.

This was only the second day of the [Withered Ruins] dungeon strategy, and they were still a long way from completing the dungeon strategy. After all, they were a strategy team composed of two god-level players, so how could they be eliminated so early?

Obviously, Hermod's words were a blatant provocation.

"Haha...very good." Omislo sneered, "Hermod, Jekar and I are both your predecessors."

"What's more, you are a foreign player from another server at this moment. What makes you so arrogant?"

As he spoke, Omisro glanced at the people around Hermode. He only had the energy to pay attention to Hermode's teammates at this moment, and he was quickly stunned.

Yu Zhun...Udyr...

Very familiar name.

Omislo frowned and quickly thought of the familiar reason.

Like Hermod, they were all winners of the [Purgatory Arena]. Because of his attention to Hermod, Omisro had also heard of the other two.

As for the other two.

I haven't heard of him. Maybe he's some unknown person.

After all, it is already incredible for a team to be able to gather these three people, and it is unlikely to have two more equally powerful teammates.

Thinking of this, a hint of greed flashed in Omisro's eyes.

"Jekal, these three are all winners of the [Purgatory Arena]." Omisro's voice was not deliberately lowered, and even Yu Zhun and the other five standing on the other side could hear it clearly, "These guys are very rich. Kill them and we will divide the stuff equally."

"Oh?" Jekar glanced at the people around Hermod in surprise, and then a smile appeared in his eyes, "Okay."

Neither of them considered the possibility of failure.

They have been promoted to Lv60 and have an overwhelming advantage in attributes. As they are also the sons of God in the Fourth Divine Region, they have obtained the same amount of resources, and their own talents have also been improved by myth fragments.

In this case, killing three players whose levels are far lower than theirs is a piece of cake.

Thinking about the rewards they could get after killing the five people in front of them, the eyes of Jekar and the other man became increasingly eager, and they didn't notice how strange the expressions of Yu Zhun and the other four were after they heard their conversation.

"Xiao He, you have been wronged." Yu Zhu sighed, stood on tiptoe, and patted Hermod's shoulder in a mature manner.

"It's really embarrassing to be called the Son of God together with such a moron."

"Yes." Lu Wen patted Hermod's other shoulder and took a deep breath. "These years have been very difficult for you."

Udyr and Yu Zhun didn't say anything, but their expressions showed the same meaning.

Hermod: “…”

He was clearly being cared for, but why couldn't he be happy at all?

He originally had no feelings, but after hearing what Yu Zhu and Lu Wen said, he suddenly felt that being the Son of God was a bit aggrieved...

"You..." Hearing the words spoken by Yu Zhu and others without lowering their voices at all, the expressions of Jekar and Omisro became gloomy at the same time.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you right away." Jekal said faintly, "I will let you be responsible for what you said at this moment..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Yu Zhu raised the pastor's book in his hand and interrupted Jackal's words directly.

"Monster! Take my healing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, red words appeared above the heads of the five members of Team Jekar.

When the skill level of [Toxic Medical] is raised to the max, it can treat 5 people without increasing the number of people treated.

It can be said that a team of five is just the level that Yu Zhu can fully cover.

After one treatment, the health bars of four members of the Jakar team, including Jakar himself, were emptied instantly, and their health was locked. Only Omisro still maintained more than 80% of his health.

And what's strange is that the blood-red text above Omislo's head is no different from that of the other four people, also exceeding 400 million.

"Huh?" Yu Zhu blinked and looked surprised.

If Omislo had a talent that limited DPS, the blood-red text should have changed, but he didn't.

With his health points reduced by 80 million, how can he still have more than % of his health points?
Could it be that this guy has 20 billion lives? !
No matter how powerful a Lv60 player is, it's impossible for him to be so outrageous, right?

Before she could ask, Hermod at the side quickly spoke up and explained the reason, "Omislo's talent is [Overflow Reversal]. The overflow of reduced health will be converted into health recovery, and the overflow of restored health will be converted into reduced health."

"But... this is the effect of his talent when he was at SSS level."

"Now, he should be at level X2. I don't know what the effect of his talent upgrade will be."

Yu Zhu suddenly realized.

So, her healing amount must be an integer multiple of the opponent's health points in order to reduce Omislo's health points to zero?
Such precise numbers were definitely not something she could achieve.

but…

There aren't too many people in the team who can do this.

"Pfft-"

Almost at the moment when Helmod finished speaking, Yu Zhun had already moved in front of Omisro and pierced him with a knife, instantly reducing Omisro's health to zero.

It was not until this moment that the members of Jekar's team came back to their senses from Yu Zhu's incredible healing power.

Seeing that all their members had entered the health lock state, Jekar and Omisro were both confused.

no…

What kind of teammates did Hermod find?
