Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 40: Strike first to gain the upper hand

"It's you!!"

The village chief immediately understood and smiled, "I didn't expect you to come to me of your own accord."

The middle-aged man beside him also breathed a sigh of relief, his serious face now filled with joy.

half an hour ago.

The priest suddenly announced that another of the village's top ten demons had died, and it was the Bloodthirsty Demon who had just been reprimanded yesterday.

Moreover, this happened after the village chief mobilized a large number of foreigners to search for them.

The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light.

This left the village chief with mixed feelings.

I was just discussing our next strategy with the middle-aged man when this pleasant surprise came knocking on my door so quickly. He even closed the door behind him when he came in.

This is good!
very good!
It saves me the trouble of searching everywhere, and it also solves the problem of being seen by passing foreigners during battle.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"How did you discover our identities as demons?"

Before taking any action, the village chief laid his cards on the table, raising the issue that concerned him most.

The disguise was bestowed by the Demon God Temple and contains the power of the Demon God. Under normal circumstances, as long as the demon disguised as a villager does not actively tear off the disguise, others will not be able to discover their identity.

But the foreigner discovered it on the very first day.

It still precisely selects only the demon to kill.

Not a single normal villager has ever been accidentally killed.

Clearly, the other party possesses some ability to see through the disguise of the Demon Temple and perceive the true form of the demon.

If we could find out exactly what the ability is and report it to the Demon God Temple, it might be able to offset the guilt we committed this time.

"If you tell me why you demons disguise yourselves as villagers, and what your purpose is, then I will tell you why I can see through your disguise!"

Lin Hanchuan countered by asking which of the various rumors circulating in his previous life were true regarding the demon's purpose in playing the role of an NPC in Wangyue City.

The demons we killed earlier were of very low status and probably knew nothing about it.

But the village chief in front of us should know something.

Lin Hanchuan also used the system to check the information of the village chief and the middle-aged man.

Goat Demon

Level: 10

Rank: Lord
Blood volume: 8000
Attack: 400-1500
Note: Goat demons are one of the most common races of demons. They feed on plants, but sometimes they also chew on meat. When they enter a state of rage, they will launch a frenzied goat charge at their target.

Lin Hanchuan already knew that the village chief was a goat demon, and his strength as a level 10 lord also matched his initial assessment.

Therefore, Lin Hanchuan was not too surprised.

However, this one is clearly mutated; with 8,000 HP, it can still deal up to 1500 damage.

No wonder he became the village chief!
All creatures in [The Descent], including the player, are susceptible to mutation.

The probability is very small.

However, once the mutation is successful, it means that its combat power will increase by leaps and bounds. The goat demon in front of us, with normal combat power, would definitely kill any goat demon of the same level and rank.

The only slight pity is that this goat demon doesn't have a Boss title.

Lord-level and Lord Boss!

The gap between the two is still quite large.

……

……

Cannibal

Level: 9

Rank: Lord
Blood volume: 6500
Attack: 200-800
Note: Ogres have an instinctive craving for meat, and the strong smell of blood can drive them into a berserk state.

The system's note for the cannibal is the same as the cannibal that Lin Hanchuan killed at the beginning, which was disguised as an old man with a black beard.

Level 9 lord-level ogres are not uncommon in the Abyss. Lin Hanchuan has even killed king-level ones.

"Since you don't know our purpose, why are you targeting us?" Village Chief Xia Er stared at Lin Hanchuan and replied in a deep voice.

He thought the plan had been exposed.

But Lin Hanchuan's words made him realize that he had been overthinking things.

"Does killing a demon need a reason?" Lin Hanchuan said nonchalantly, while giving Black Night Legend a wink.

Dark Legend immediately understood and retreated while holding Star.

The little wooden figure and the heavily armored man quietly stepped forward, standing on either side of Lin Hanchuan, their eyes fixed on the village chief and the middle-aged man.

"The village chief is a level 10 lord-level goat demon with 8,000 HP and a maximum attack of 1,500. He is most likely a mutated type and may possess some of the abilities of a general-level goat demon. Be careful in the battle."

Lin Hanchuan took the initiative to share information, and since the village chief and the middle-aged man had not removed their disguises, only their own Demon Eyes could see through each other's information.

As for the little wooden man's talent, he probably won't be able to see through the disguise until he reaches S-level. However, the information he can obtain at that time will be several times that of Lin Hanchuan at this moment.

This even includes the target's weaknesses.

"The middle-aged man next to the village chief is a level 9 lord-level ogre with 6,500 HP and a maximum attack of 800. We'll kill him first."

"Keep an eye on the village chief's movements!"

Killing two at once is unrealistic.

We can only choose the worst one.

Both the heavily armored warrior and the little wooden figure nodded.

"Quite confident." Now that he had been exposed, the middle-aged man stopped pretending and tore off the human skin on his face to reveal his cannibalistic form.

Lord-level ogres are much larger than elite-level ogres, their massive bodies towering like small mountains on the opposite side.

The village chief on the other side also had no intention of watching the show.

They then removed their disguises.

It resembled a goat standing upright, except that its entire body was black except for its white beard. The goat horns stuck on its head curved upwards, with the ends being exceptionally hard black keratin that gleamed in the sun.

For a normal novice player, being hit by his ram's horn is almost enough to kill them.

Lin Hanchuan struck first, launching a large fireball right from the start.

A massive fireball, accompanied by a scorching roar, flew towards the ogre.

While the fireball was still in mid-air, Lin Hanchuan launched another spell arrow, a glowing arrow formed from pure magical elements. It carried no attributes and was purely a magical attack, following closely behind the fireball.

Even though the ogres have evolved to the lord level, they cannot escape their clumsy and slow-moving nature, especially when faced with Lin Hanchuan's attack without warning, which makes them even more passive.

boom! !

laugh! !
-
142!
-
159!

The fireball had just hit his face when the spell arrow pierced his chest. However, thanks to the ogre's thick defense, the two attacks dealt a total of 300 damage to his health.

This might seem like a minor injury to an ogre with 6,500 health, but in reality...

Lin Hanchuan wasn't going to stop and wait for the cannibal's reaction.

In battle, seizing the right opportunity is key.

Every second is precious.

Boom boom boom! !

Tsk tsk tsk! !

Lin Hanchuan's fireballs and spell arrows have no cooldown time; he can cast them as soon as he raises his hand.

Fireballs and spell arrows came in turn.

It took away nearly 500 of his health points in one second.
