Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

[Defensive Power, Normal Change, PP 20, Increases own Physical Defense by 2 levels]

This is like insuring yourself—minimizing the damage you might suffer.

"Connect the critical hit gun!"

Before the golden light membrane had completely dissipated, the guardian dog opened its mouth to gather its strength, and a golden energy blast shot out, slamming into the trunk of the growing fruit tree.

The numbers are fluctuating. The damage is relatively low compared to the tree's own health, but it's effective.

On the other side, Feng Ling'er's command was issued almost simultaneously with Zhao Mingyuan's.

"Sparks, smoke everywhere."

Spark opened its tiny mouth, and a thick cloud of gray smoke billowed out, instantly enveloping the face of the growing fruit tree.

[Smoke billows, normal change, PP 20, lowers opponent's accuracy by one stage.]

"Dark Curse".

[Dark Curse, Normal Change, PP 10, Lowers opponent's Speed ​​by 1 stage]

Amidst the smoke, a dark purple light shot out from Spark's eye, striking the growing fruit tree precisely.

Reduce speed.

Two negative states overlapped.

Accuracy decreases, speed decreases, and burns cause continuous health loss.

Three people were fighting a boss, and none of them chose to mindlessly attack.

It's all about control flow strategies that involve increasing or decreasing benefits.

This is the tacit understanding between veteran players.

The fruit trees are fighting back.

Its body swayed in the flames, and the lush green leaves on its head suddenly burst open—

Countless tiny seeds shot out from between the branches and leaves like a barrage of bullets!

Seed machine gun!

Chapter 76, Third Floor

A dense barrage of green bullets whistled as they swept towards the three pets.

But Grass-type moves are effective against Fire-type moves—

"Tap tap tap tap—"

The seed hit the scales of the Fire Dance Dragon, but was resisted four times by the Fire Dance Dragon's Dragon and Fire types, so it didn't cause much damage at all.

The same applies to Spark and the Guardian Dog; a hit will result in resistance.

The advantage of elemental advantage was fully demonstrated at this moment.

But the skills of growing fruit trees are not limited to seed machine guns.

There's also Spirit Arrow, which, although it's also a Grass-type, has a power of 80 points!

Its vine arms were raised high, and energy arrows shimmering with a pale green light condensed at its fingertips—

Arrow of the Spirit!

"Scatter!" Mo Fan shouted.

Pale green arrows rained down, and the three pets dodged them one by one.

Fire Dance Dragon flapped its wings and dodged most of the arrows, but because it was at the closest distance, one arrow still grazed its wing and took away a chunk of its HP.

The guardian dog withstood two hits thanks to its enhanced physical defense, managing to stabilize itself.

Spark was small in size, and the smoke from the growing fruit tree reduced its accuracy, causing all of its arrows to miss.

"Fire Dragon Dance, Critical Strike Gun!"

"Guardian dog, critical hit gun!"

"Spark, Flame Kick!"

Three attacks were unleashed simultaneously.

Fire-attribute attacks were continuously unleashed.

After a burst of growth, the HP of the growing fruit tree dropped to less than half.

With the continued bleeding from the burns, the numbers kept jumping up—

800...700...600...

The growth of the fruit tree slowed down noticeably. The stacked slowing effect of the Dark Curse prevented it from increasing its attack frequency even if it wanted to.

The outcome of this battle was not much of a surprise from the start.

Three fires counter grass, apply burn damage to wear down enemies, and stack debuffs to control the pace.

Attribute suppression combined with strategic overwhelm.

The next issue is time.

After several more rounds of battle, the growth tree's HP dropped to zero.

Countless light patterns cracked across its surface, like a withered tree crumbling. Then—its entire form transformed into a stream of emerald light, dissipating into the air.

Defeat the guardian spirit.

All three pets simultaneously gained a considerable amount of experience points.

"We won! The three of us worked together perfectly!" Zhao Mingyuan said excitedly.

Honestly, this was the first time the three of them had worked together.

At this moment, the cocoa fruits that had lost their guards hung on the branches, quietly emitting a soft light.

Mo Fan and his two companions stepped forward and picked one off.

The moment the fruit was obtained, a panel popped up.

[Delicious Cocoa Fruit x1: Grants 300 experience points upon use.]

three hundred.

Three times that of the first layer.

Zhao Mingyuan leaned over for a look, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Three hundred! That's more like it!"

Feng Ling'er's gaze swept over the remaining fruit on the branches, and she quickly counted them.

"There are twelve in this cluster. That should be enough for three people."

The three of them quickly finished picking the cluster of cocoa berries and distributed them evenly.

Then, Mo Fan looked around.

There are many more cocoa berries on the surrounding branches.

But there's no doubt that these branches will also defeat the guardian pet.

but......

Mo Fan looked down again.

A commotion arose below.

The low growls of pets, and human voices.

a lot of.

Very dense.

Some people have already passed through the second-level barrier and come up.

And—it's not just one team.

There is no doubt that forces from the government and other factions will be arriving soon.

In this situation, if one were to go and pick cocoa beans from other branches, no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be conflicts with other factions.

At this juncture, it would be unwise to engage in conflict.

After all, those large organizations have a large number of people and great power.

Moreover, they are not limited to picking cocoa beans from this layer.

Mo Fan raised his gaze upwards once more.

Through the gaps in the layers of branches and leaves, the cocoa pods higher up radiate a much richer light than those in front of me.

The light there was almost golden.

"Let's go. Keep going up."

.......

The three of them did not linger on the second floor.

As I continued climbing up the tree trunk, the gaps between the branches widened. The air also became thinner, carrying a cool, grassy scent.

They climbed for another ten minutes or so.

A screen of light appeared in front of the three of them again.

Like the second layer of light curtain, it is light gold with fine, flowing patterns on its surface.

A prompt appeared on the panel.

[Third Layer - Hierarchical Barrier]

[Requirement: You must have at least one pet that is level 17 or higher.]

Players who do not meet the requirements cannot pass through this barrier.

Level 17.
