Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

[Lighthouse Guest]: You guys run first, run to the edge of the fish's back and jump down. Don't be afraid, jump boldly.

The four bodyguards did not hesitate and set off together, running wildly along the bumpy body of the fish.

Lin Bo, who stayed where he was, chanted the real name of the Demonic Mushroom Iron and tapped the wooden box on his waist. Two brilliant whale fire rings jumped out, one new and one old. They were the equipment he had just made in the East Cliff Grotto this afternoon.

He raised his hand and formed a flame-shaped seal, then shot out the ring, attacking the two giant flower buds respectively. After a difficult cutting, the ring penetrated into the bud and ignited the ovary with whale fire.

The last of the fish-bodied giant tree's vitality dissipated as its ovary burned.

Its huge body finally turned over completely, and the four players who ran to the edge of the fish's mouth jumped into the air and began to fall towards the Sky Forest.

Just as they were about to hit the treetops where electric arcs were flashing, the chains tied around their waists suddenly tightened, causing their bodies to hover still. The chains were pulled again, pulling them towards the sky island.

The mage retracted the ring, flew away from the dead boss monster, and landed on the sky island with his teammates.

Not far away, a giant tree with a flaming fish-like body opened its mouth, let out a final, gentle, majestic sigh, and crashed heavily into the sky forest. The flames continued to spread across its remains. Its body sank slowly, as if submerged in the forest.

When Lin Bo and others returned to the team, the nightmare invasion had already come to an end.

The kid was very excited. After seeing the monster mimicking the morning star, he obtained key evidence and made further analysis of the plot.

[Astrology Fan]: Voyager Company's human experiments used a large number of volunteers. Ms. Morning Star was not only a volunteer, she should also be one of the hosts of the experiment. She transformed herself.

Oh, so this woman is not a good person either.

The sorcerer curled his lips, expressing contempt for the Nightmare Morning Star that he had just dealt with with his own magic explosion.

[Astrology Fan]: That’s not the case. If Qimingxing could completely control the company’s opinions, she wouldn’t have participated in the experiment herself. She probably still adhered to ethics.

[No Shadow]: You said before that she was a perfect receptor. Maybe the Voyager Company deliberately used volunteers to morally kidnap her and made this lady voluntarily participate in the experiment. Humph, a common trick used by conspirators.

Lin Bo did not participate in the discussion, but other teammates who were caught up in the argument asked him for his opinion on it, as if whoever got the Master Brother's approval would know the truth.

[Lighthouse Guest]: What everyone said makes sense.

[Astrology Fan]: Well, it seems that Master Brother is not interested

The little boy's pointed ears drooped.

After the battle at Garden No. 5, it was time to return to the surface and head for the Central Control Tower. In a hurry, they didn't linger to loot, nor did they take the elevator again.

The time mechanic pulled two feathers from his pocket, gestured to outline a geometric shape, and chanted the spell: "Feather Fall!"

The feathers disintegrated and turned into magical light that illuminated all the teammates.

Everyone jumped twice on the spot, feeling light and agile, then jumped down along the edge of the sky island and slowly floated down.

Lin Bo drank the potion to replenish his exhausted spell power. Instead of flying on his own, he used the Feather Fall Technique to slowly descend.

The group returned to the surface, and the remains of the giant fish tree passed through the sky forest, like a burning airship crashing from the sky.

Seeing the big one coming, they quickly mounted their mounts and rushed to the exit of Garden No. 5. Not long after, the giant tree crashed into the Stone Desert Oasis, exploding with a roar into a shower of flaming fragments.

The glass corridor door leading to the central control tower was wide open. In addition to the familiar exploding dandelions, there was also a group of pretenders wandering in front of the entrance of the central control tower, neither daring to go in nor wanting to leave.

Just like a group of soldiers camped in front of an enemy city, they failed to achieve their invasion goal, but their attack was blocked.

The thing that stands in their way is right in the lobby of the central control tower.

After Lin Bo and the others cleared the enemy groups gathered in the glass corridor, they stepped through the open airtight door and walked into the sparsely lit and dimly lit central control tower. They were greeted by the air filled with the pungent smell of plant juices and rust. The ground was littered with the broken remains of living plants. The old ones had already rotted and broken, while the fresh ones were even still steaming.

There were still a few living pretenders on the field. They didn't pay attention to the approaching players, but were besieging a tall dark green armored warrior.

The dark green armored warrior is two meters and four meters tall, with fine pieces of carapace on his body forming protective parts such as helmet, breastplate, skirt armor, and leg guards.

The face was a smooth wooden mask with no nose, only narrow willow-leaf eye sockets and jagged lips that stretched to the temples. The upturned corners of the eyes and the raised lips made it seem as if he was laughing in anger.

Its steps were blurry and staggering, but its movements were extremely agile. It rushed to the front of the pretender, its hands turned into sharp claws, tore off the head, dug open the chest and abdomen, and buried its head in gnawing on the fresh tree sap.

It quickly devoured one pretender and pounced on the other. It twisted one arm into a spear, pierced through the hard body of the living tree, and lifted it high in the air. The spear body was a spirally twisted vine that continuously absorbed sap. In the blink of an eye, only a shriveled piece of dead wood remained on the spear.

Under the gaze of everyone, in just over ten seconds, the dark green armored soldier completed the cleaning, or you could call it eating.

This is what the pretenders in the glass corridor fear.

The leader monster of the central control tower, the final experimental subject - the perfect lost tree-dweller - Xinya.

The dark green warrior looked at the intruding players.

A hoarse, indistinct voice drifted out from beneath the visor: "The survivors... have all been sent away. You came here to kill me. Very good, very good..."

Having said this, it took a step forward and rushed towards the crowd.

Chapter 157: Fierce Leader, Complete the Dungeon

Lin Bo had previously faced giant boss monsters that, while incredibly lethal, were limited by their heavy bodies and lacked the ability to be flexible in their combat techniques.

This shortcoming can be easily exploited by players to gain an advantage in battle.

However, the lost tree dweller they encountered at this time, Xinya, was a person of medium build, and in terms of the diversity of her fighting style, she was not much different from the players.

According to the Purgatory difficulty guide compiled by the channel players, the boss monster of the central control tower has a total of three combat postures, two for attack and one focused on defense.

As the number of team members increases, the leader will inevitably gain a certain degree of strength. Perhaps his physical activity increases, making him more difficult to kill, or his strength and speed grow, or new combat mechanisms are added.

Before this, no player in the channel had ever faced the ten-man group of Lost Tree Hunters. They were the first group of pioneers.

[Swift Beast] smiled brightly, raised his sword high, and typed in the channel: The battle of honor is calling us, or it may be death. Enjoy this moment, friends.

Echo Knight stopped laughing, his expression so cold it could cut through ice and snow, and he swung his sword with all his might.

The greatsword drew a large area of ​​brilliant white cold light and collided with a narrow and long serrated wooden sword. The two collided with each other, making a sharp metallic sound and sparks bursting out.

The knight's stance was as solid as a mountain, his boots gripping the floor tightly, but he was still knocked back three steps by the blow. He was completely at a disadvantage in the exchange of strength.

His echo phantom stepped forward, swung his greatsword, and blocked the lightning-fast second blow from the Lost Tree Man, and was chopped back like a ghost.

Next, there is the third knife and the fourth knife!

The steps of the lost tree hunter are like dancing, the knife shadows are like flying skirts and fluttering butterfly wings, and the cold light of the knife shadows is like a light pale ribbon wrapped around its body, which hurts anyone who touches it.

The white gorilla's flail spun three times, carrying the heavy and pungent air in the central control tower hall, whistling through the wind and slamming into the third knife.

The barbarian roared, and the orc's swollen muscles were like taut steel cables. He held the throwing axe in his right hand above his head, leaned his upper body back, lifted his left foot off the ground, and his whole body turned into a fully-strung crossbow. As his right leg pushed off the ground, all the strength in his body was transmitted from his heels to his fingertips, throwing the axe in his hand.

The flying axe, like a cannonball, hit the fourth sword, and the axe blade shattered. The Lost Tree Hunter was knocked back and his dance steps froze for a moment.

"Magic energy explodes!"

A pale green beam of magical energy burst forth from the warlock's fingertips, like a laser spear, piercing the air with a low howl. The magical energy exploded onto the Lost Tree-Bearer, pushing it back several meters with an unstoppable repulsive force.

[Gun Bullet]: The moment of death has come

The artilleryman raised his pistol and pulled the trigger, but what was fired was not a bullet, but three red, burning rays that fell on the leader, piercing through his breastplate and leaving three charred, burning wounds.

The magic turret beside him shook, and the main gun fired. The shell hit the enemy's abdomen and smashed it into the corner of the hall. A huge explosion occurred, and the air wave blew the debris on the ground into rolling dust. His teammates in the front row narrowed their eyes.

There was no notification on the network information board that the leader monster had fallen, only its health status had been deducted.

When the smoke and dust settled, the Lost Tree Hunter, who had taken a high-explosive shell head-on, stood up. The open wounds on his chest and abdomen were filled with emerald green vines surging like intestines, and his entire body from neck to hips was in tatters. However, such injuries did not affect his ability to continue fighting.

The Lost Tree Man said intermittently: "Very good, what awaits me must be... a sweet death..."

The long blades in its arms clashed, tangling into a long, spiraling lance. The Lost Tree Hunter adjusted his stance, standing sideways like a fencer, his feet taking a lunge, his lance held horizontally, the tip pointed at the crowd.

This is some unknown form of combat, but everyone has seen the consequences of being pierced by a spiral spear: death due to being drained of water.

The direction in which the lance was aimed almost went through the center line of the entire team. The Echo Knights in the front row, the Mage Cannoneers in the middle row, and the Kid Brother in the back row were all on this line.

Cold sweat streamed down their foreheads.

Lin Bo's eyes hidden behind the mask stared at the leader monster's every move. Two rapidly rotating rings were suspended on the palm of his right hand, and the residual heat formed a vortex, constantly blowing his clothes.

The time-mechanic beside him held a licorice root in his mouth, his fingers dancing in geometric shapes, weaving the power of order flowing through his body, and chanted, "Acceleration!"

The magical gyroscope released a clear light that enveloped Lin Bo's body. In an instant, a layer of electric surge passed through his nerve endings, and his cerebral cortex seemed to be activated. His thinking reaction became faster, and subjectively, the movement of things around him slowed down.

The Lost Tree Walker took a lunge and stepped forward, leaving a dent in the hard metal floor like a mudflat. The huge reaction force pushed its body into a series of afterimages on everyone's retinas.

It was fast, simple and powerful. Even the wind couldn't catch up with its speed.

Only a few players could clearly see the boss monster's trajectory, but their bodies couldn't keep up. In that fleeting moment, even moving a finger was difficult. The speed at which neurons transmitted signals was simply too slow.

The knight exhaled a breath, he could switch places with his echo, but avoiding it would expose his teammates to the attack. So he stood still, waiting for the impact.

Two brilliant circles flew out from his ears, heading towards the spiral spear of the Lost Tree Man.

One ring, carrying enormous kinetic energy, struck the top of the spear, knocking it to the ground. The other rushed forward, heading for the neck of the Lost Tree Man.

In this high-speed battle where even the dust stopped, the leader monster was able to react, its agility increasing as its form changed.

It changed its pace and avoided the whale fire ring at the critical moment.

The ring that fell behind its head suddenly changed direction strangely, turned at a sharp angle, and attacked its back of the neck again.

Keng!

The ring hit, and if the relative speed had not dropped suddenly, this blow would have cut off the neck of the leader monster. Now it only caused its body to deviate from its original track.

Everyone saw a flash before their eyes, and two silver arcs flashed through the residual light, collided with the air, and burst into brilliant sparks.

The three sonic booms overlapped and turned into a deafening roar.

The magic turret at the edge of the team was very unlucky and was hit by the Lost Tree Dweller that flew sideways. The entire fuselage was lifted off the ground and rolled over like a car hit by a heavy truck.

The Lost Tree Hunter was lying on the turret, with a ring embedded in the back of his neck, which was now emitting a blazing blue whale fire.

The long spear pierced through the body of the turret and was embedded in it. The spiral vines twisted but could not absorb any water or nutrients.

The leader monster twisted its torso, ripped the spears from its arms at the shoulders, and stood up with only its legs remaining.

It stomped its feet suddenly, shaking off the whale fire ring embedded in the back of its neck. The wound quickly oozed sap, extinguishing the flames.

Two whale fire rings floated in the air, the flames went out, and the rings began to rotate again to accumulate power.

It was only then that the teammates realized that a fight had just taken place. They were not surprised that the mage could interrupt the leader monster's powerful charge.

[Swift Shadow Beast]: Brother Mage, thank you for saving my life!

The Lost Tree Hunter jumped lightly on the spot, as if stepping on a spring. His thighs and calves wrapped in armor gradually expanded, and strong airflow was sucked into his legs as he bounced.

After just a few jumps, tiny arcs of electricity began to burst out of its body, and its legs acted like generators, continuously charging energy for the whole body.

This is the form seen when dealing with Nightmare Morning Star, which can shoot arcs of electricity to hurt people.

Seeing this, the players immediately launched a new round of attacks without waiting for the Lost Tree to be fully prepared.
