Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

If the strategy fails.

Players who die will be trapped on the Road to the Underworld and unable to move for a period of time.

However, even after losing top-tier players, the Navy Alliance still possesses a large number of mid-level combatants, making it entirely possible to seize this opportunity and quickly take over the first floor of the Tower of Death.

A clever scheme, a clever tactic.

The Navy Alliance's think tank is quite capable. If the strategy is successful, players can collect the Tree Demon Granny's game items to enhance the combat power of top-tier players.

Even if the strategy fails, you can still gain something.

Killing two birds with one stone, you can't lose out no matter what.

However, Orochimaru didn't care about such things. The Fire Empire was already an impregnable fortress built by him. Even if he disappeared for a while, the Navy Alliance would have to pay a huge price to swallow it up.

At most, we'll lose some corner maps, which is well within our acceptable loss range.

Orochimaru said with a smile, "Let's go to the Tree Demon Granny's territory. I'm just a mercenary, so let's give the money for the Giant Totem to the Navy Alliance, shall we?"

"Wait, not everyone has arrived yet."

The news of the successful cooperation with Orochimaru was relayed back to the Navy Alliance. Some time later...

Three beams of teleportation light illuminated.

"Are we setting off now? I'd like to have a fight with Whitebeard first. He actually said that my iron fist is no match for his broken sword..."

Garp scratched his head and burst into laughter.

His muscles were as solid as steel, with clear contours. He looked like a piece of refined steel that had been forged through countless trials. With every step he took, it felt like he could crush the ground.

He sized up Orochimaru and asked suspiciously, "You're Orochimaru, the strongest player in the Samsara Game. Just as Tsuru said, you don't seem very likable."

Necromancers, sorcerers, serpent masters...

These are all abilities that tend towards the dark attribute. Once a player comes into contact with one of them, the aura they emit will gradually lean towards the dark attribute.

Not to mention someone like Orochimaru, who possesses all of these qualities as a "Necromancer".

Chapter 444 A Chinese Ghost Story: The Ghost Tree Demon

Garp happens to be a brute with pure strength and a straightforward personality, so he feels an instinctive aversion and rejection when he sees Orochimaru.

"Don't say that, Lieutenant General Garp."

Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth, shook his head helplessly, reminding Garp of his careless words.

The Navy Intelligence Department had already informed them of Orochimaru's deeds. Although she seemed cold, she held a strong sense of justice in her heart and also disliked Orochimaru.

But now we have a cooperative relationship.

If you make your actions too obvious, it will reduce the success rate of hunting down the Tree Demon Granny.

"Vice Admiral Garp, he's always been like this, isn't he? He really has an enviable youthful mindset."

Borsalino pouted, his tone odd, as if it were none of his business.

They didn't care at all whether the hunt would be successful.

The overall situation is as if they were forced to come here because they were being paid by the Navy Alliance.

Akainu was already annoyed, and upon seeing this, he angrily said, "Shut up, all of you! The reputation of the Marine Alliance is ruined by undisciplined and lax guys like you, which is why we are looked down upon."

Once he becomes the Admiral of the Navy, he must thoroughly reform the discipline of the Naval Alliance.

Borsalino feigned surprise and said, "You're getting more and more irritable, Akainu. It's said that you can't get past the Dryad's portal with just brute force; you also need a calm mind."

After the Reincarnation Game was updated,

The biggest change is that it's no longer about relying solely on brute force to overcome obstacles and hunt; some game maps and scenes have been enhanced with suspense and puzzle-solving elements.

If you can discover the key points and details of the game map, you can weaken and reduce the strength of the boss.

If you don't discover it, the difficulty of passing the level will increase several times.

The most obvious example is the [Underworld Mission].

Jiraiya's main mission is to resist the giants and protect [Wall Maria].

He chose to face the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan head-on, as well as countless ordinary Titans. A slight misstep could result in him being trampled into mincemeat by the Titans.

In other words, Jiraiya has enough [Yomi Points] to buy various Titan skills, which allows him to resist until his strength is unleashed.

This is a typical example of brute force to clear the game.

For an average player, without Jiraiya's methods, they could have simply retreated to Wall Rose with Eren, joined the training group, and then followed the majority to reclaim Wall Maria.

The task can be completed in the same way.

For example, Orochimaru,

Even if he were to acquire max-level basketball skills in the basketball world he transmigrated to, it would still be extremely difficult to lead an immature basketball team to defeat the strong teams from various academies.

The best strategy for clearing the game is to work with teammates like Yuan Daying, cultivate friendship and trust, strengthen training, and grow step by step.

However, Orochimaru secretly injected snake venom into the opposing academy's basketball players, causing all the opposing academy members to be poisoned and hospitalized, making them unable to play the game, thus winning without a fight.

This led to a barrage of criticism from Yuan Daying and others after the incident.

As a result, Orochimaru ignored them completely and treated all these players as slaves and test subjects for the cursed seal.

Now, back to the point…

If we can find the key, discover the Tree Demon Granny's weakness, or find game items that can counter her, even the threat level of a Dark Gold-level boss will be greatly reduced.

Smoker's gaze fell on Garp, and he said, "So, Lieutenant General Garp, don't rush in with your fists thrown before you've even found any clues, understand?"

Although Akainu is cold-blooded, he won't let you down when it matters.

Borsalino is nonchalant, but he won't do anything unnecessary.

My biggest worry is Garp the Iron Fist and Orochimaru. If they don't follow orders, it could easily cause the Tree Demon Granny to go berserk and wipe out the whole team.

"Of course I understand!"

Karp made a solemn promise, then casually pulled a donut from his pocket and popped it into his mouth.

Orochimaru didn't say anything, but he smiled and nodded, meaning he was willing to follow orders and wouldn't act recklessly.

"Let's go."

Akainu pulled out a palm-sized totem, and the patterns on its surface lit up.

A giant pioneer, as large as a mountain, was summoned, and white smoke, like burning sandalwood, billowed from the top of the totem, connecting to the giant pioneer's body.

Once the totem has burned out, the giant settler will disappear.

Therefore, players need to continuously consume [Giant Totems] to ensure the existence of Giant Settlers.

The Navy Alliance pioneer team stepped into the black mist.

hiss……

As soon as he emerged from the black mist, Orochimaru expressionlessly snapped off his finger. Countless small snakes, formed from black magic, crawled out of the wound and spread in all directions.

Garp, watching from the side, nodded repeatedly and said, "This is a really useful ability."

He is a player who takes the ultimate martial arts and melee route, and he is completely blind in the black mist-filled map.

[Martial Arts Heart Lv.45]: Able to sense surrounding fluctuations through the Martial Arts Heart.

In the ordinary world, Garp can sense the slightest movement of wind or grass, and various energy fluctuations, within a range of hundreds of meters.

However, within the black mist, the range of perception that the Heart of Martial Arts could extend to was less than five meters.

sizzle...

Even after seeing the necromancer serpents released by Orochimaru, Akainu was still uneasy and summoned several small fire demons to explore the surrounding area.

"Notice!"

Almost simultaneously, Akainu and Orochimaru's expressions changed drastically.

The necromancer serpents and fire demons sent out to investigate have all lost contact.

Smoker drew his short stick from his back and, following the direction Akainu was looking, stood ready.

Within sight,

Visibility was extremely low; beyond five meters it was pitch black, and countless tiny, paper-like fragments floated and hung in the air, followed by ashes.

Five meters is more than enough of a warning distance for an ordinary person.

But they could not stop the elusive dark monsters.

bang bang.

The extremely faint sound was like someone pushing a stone, constantly scraping against the gravel-strewn ground.

A huge black shadow came into view.

The branches are sprawling and thick, resembling a human torso, with countless vines intertwined at the base.

The sound that was just made was the rattan pushing aside the gravel.

【Ghost Tree Spirit Lv.49】: A dark monster transformed from the branches of the Tree Spirit Granny. Once bound, it will be drained dry as nourishment.

"Hellfire".

Akainu straightened his arm and suddenly clenched his open hand.

A magic circle shimmering with fiery red appeared beneath the feet of the ghost tree demon, and scorching flames, carrying the aura of hell, erupted like pillars.

"Tree spirits are afraid of fire, especially hellfire, which is the nemesis of all plant-type monsters."

Akainu didn't follow up with another attack, clearly showing his absolute confidence in Hellfire.

but,

The ghost tree spirit, already engulfed by pillars of fire, swayed wildly, its branches like steel, and did not burn as expected under the scorching heat of hellfire.

Instead, it resembled a fiercely burning torch, rushing towards the crowd.

puff.
