How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

With the added bonus of dark vision, Yuexiajiu could clearly see that there were many teams gathered in the open space, and from the faint sounds of fighting coming from behind him, he could also tell that many people were on their way.

"Looks like we don't need to do anything. Let's just go directly to the entrance." Yuexiajiu greeted the team members behind him.

Following two or three teams walking down the spiral staircase from the entrance, they soon arrived at the second floor of the ruins. Similar to the first floor, there was an open space, and in front of it were dozens of forks leading to different directions.

"Brother Jiu, which path should we choose this time?" asked someone in the team.

Seeing other teams passing by and quickly choosing a direction to walk into the fork, Wang Chuanshui was a little impatient, "We are all exploring the land anyway, so isn't it the same to just find a random path to get in?"

Yuexiajiu thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to the middle first?"

Chapter 111: Disaster at the Beginning

After hearing Yuexiajiu's words, someone in the team seemed to remember something.

"It seems that last time we went to the middle first, and ended up encountering this disgusting terrain of swamp."

"It doesn't matter if it's next to you. Even if there are traps in the maze, you'll end up in a swamp for no apparent reason no matter how you walk."

"The swamp is just disgusting."

Someone couldn't help but complain, and immediately got the approval of the majority, and everyone joined in.

The team immediately had a heated discussion, and even Wang Chuanshui joined in. "That's right, this kind of disgusting terrain cannot be designed without a decade of cerebral thrombosis."

After taking a look at the indignant Wangchuanshui, Yuexiajiu smiled slightly.

"I just got news from the president that the second level doesn't have the same swampy terrain as the first level. It's all flat and there's no difference. So it's not wrong to choose whatever you want as Ah Shui said." Yuexiajiu explained, "But at least there are fewer detours if you go in the middle compared to the sides."

Everyone nodded when they heard this. Although they were in the early stages of the development and faced an unknown environment, and might not be able to reach the end of the second level, it was always better to walk less distance.

Seeing that no one in the team had any objections, Yuexiajiu led them to choose a fork in the road that was relatively central and walked in. Before that, he also asked everyone in the team to add defensive BUFFs in advance to prevent any unexpected situations.

For example, the traps and monsters that suddenly appear on the first floor.

However, the second floor is not like the first floor. It is still somewhat difficult to enter. When Yuexiajiu and his friends chose to enter through the middle fork, they did not encounter any other teams.

Even if they met, the space was wider than the first floor, and there were more complicated intersections, so they would probably be separated after just a few steps.

However, after walking just a few steps, they encountered monsters in the Oka Forest.

There were thirty giant insects with thick shells, and dozens of bats with strange blood-red patterns around them.

Hellhorn: Level 25, HP: 3200/3200

Scarlet Bat: Level 24, HP: 2000/2000

After encountering the monster, everyone in the Oka Forest was eager to try and see what was so special about the monster on the second floor of the ruins.

Yuexiajiu, the team leader, was relatively calm. He called out to several mages of different elemental categories in the team, including Shi Guang Jingmi.

"Shi Guang, you two should try to put down your skills first."

Wang Chuanshui was a little confused watching from the side. "Ajiu, what are you doing? Shouldn't you let the warrior go up and hold the aggro first?"

However, Shi Guang Jingmi reacted immediately and understood that Yue Xia Jiu wanted them to try first to see if there would be any accidents when the wizard cast magic here.

After Shi Guang's quiet explanation, the others finally understood his plan, and silently praised their vice president for his attentiveness.

After all, not to mention the swamp, the mechanism in the Duskwood where the elements would form different effects with the fog almost wiped them out at the beginning.

It’s no wonder that the Moonlight Party is so cautious.

Fortunately, after their testing, they found that the damage of all elemental magic was not enhanced, and no special effects such as explosions and electric shocks appeared.

With peace of mind, the priest drank wine under the moon and cast various damage-increasing buffs on everyone, and used up the potions brought from the guild warehouse.

A thunder mage in the team had just drunk a bottle of potion that increased attribute damage. He caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that the potion in the hand of his companion, who was also a thunder mage, seemed to be a little different.

"Why do you seem to have never seen this potion before?"

"I bought this from the market. It increases lightning damage by 30% and casting speed by 5. It lasts for ten minutes. I'll try it out and see how it works."

"So powerful? My bottle of Thunder Leopard Potion only increases the lightning damage by 15%."

"It's powerful, but the damage is reduced by 20% and the damage received is increased by 20% within three minutes after the duration ends. It can't be dispelled."

"It's a bit cruel, but why do you still use it?"

"Ten minutes is enough to deal with these monsters. It will be quick to get through these three minutes. At worst, I can just hide behind them."

Yuexiajiu did not hear this conversation, but even if he did, he probably would not take it seriously.

After seeing that the team was roughly ready, he led the front row members who had taken various defensive potions and charged towards the monsters in front.

The initial damage plus the taunting skill immediately attracted the hatred of these monsters.

The output profession behind him immediately followed, and pressed forward with overwhelming skills.

Everything was proceeding as planned, just like the previous team cooperation in opening up dungeons and killing wild bosses. However, Yuexiajiu soon discovered something was wrong.

Aren’t the defenses of these Hellhorn Worms ridiculously high! ?

Although it was a shield battle, he was only at level 23, and he also had a gold-level top-grade weapon. Chopping on the shells of these giant insects was like chopping on diamond, and he could only inflict single-digit damage at most.

Is this a fight against a boss-level boss?

While Yuexiajiu was still surprised, a series of screams suddenly sounded from the other side.

"Pastor, Pastor, add blood quickly!"

"Fuck, how could you take away so much of my health in one go?"

"It's poisonous, what kind of damage is this!"

Hearing the sound beside him, Yuexiajiu turned around and saw a warrior with excellent equipment in the guild being besieged by several scarlet bats. His health dropped below half after two or three hits.

You know, under normal circumstances, this warrior can easily fight off a dozen monsters of the same level.

“Ajiu, the attacks of these bats are too poisonous.” Wang Chuanshui appeared nearby and reminded him with lingering fear, “I was almost killed in one second just now.”

These monsters are not to be trifled with.

Although he had never experienced an attack by bats, Yuexiajiu realized this from the hell horn beetles' outrageous defense. He repelled the hell horn beetles in front of him and immediately ordered the team to retreat.

To be honest, even without Yuexiajiu's order, the front row of the team had already planned to retreat. Anyone who encountered these monsters with extremely high attack power and ridiculously thick defense would have this idea.

They immediately retreated without hesitation. However, the monsters would not let the prey that was already in their mouths leave like that, so they all chased after them.

Yuexiajiu sighed and used Earth-Splitting Impact, taking advantage of the group stun effect caused by this skill with a cooldown of one natural day. He successfully blocked the group of monsters that were pursuing him, and then he used the Charge to escape.

Chapter 112: The Performance of the Sunshine Boys

After moving away to a safe distance and watching the monsters return to their original positions, the people in the Oka Forest finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. Then they couldn't help but discuss the previous situation.

"What's going on? The attack power of these bats is too high. I was almost killed by them just now." The people in the front row must be recounting their previous terrifying experiences with lingering fear.

"Those big bugs are outrageous. The strongest single-target skill of the fire mage at level 20 only deducted a dozen points of health from them." The mage and the DPS were complaining about the defense of the hellhorn beetle.

However, a knight also interrupted and denounced, "You are still lucky. I, a knight, have never caused double-digit damage when I swing my hammer at you."

Then I got a unanimous stare from the DPS, what kind of damage do you expect as a holy knight?

However, no matter how much they complained, faced with these monsters with somewhat outrageous attributes, they could only turn their attention to Yuexiajiu who was leading the team in front.

While everyone was discussing this, Yuexiajiu had actually already been discussing the issue with Wangchuanshui and Shiguangjingmi, but they just couldn't think of any solution for the time being.

"Monsters of the same level simply don't have such attributes. Even in the ruins, they can't be designed so unreasonably. Not to mention the scarlet bats, the hellhorn beetles must have some characteristics that can knock down that shield." Yuexiajiu pondered.

"The analysis is quite logical, so what is the key method now?" Wang Chuanshui yawned and curled his lips.

"Why don't we ask the president?" Shi Guang said quietly and hesitantly.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chuanshui rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Don't always look for Yuqing when you encounter difficulties. Yuqing is also a girl. We should try to be considerate of her."

However, before Shi Guang Jingmi could finish her words, she felt a little ashamed, but was ruthlessly exposed by Yue Xia Jiu who was standing beside her, "Oh? How come the president said that you just asked her if there was any method?"

"Ahem, I'm just seizing every opportunity to get closer to you." Wang Chuanshui coughed a few times awkwardly and answered shamelessly.

Shi Guang Jingmi suppressed the urge to complain and asked, "Brother Jiu, Brother Shui, what did the president say?"

"She doesn't have any solution either. She's still asking the intelligence department to collect information from other guilds and forums." Wang Chuanshui shrugged and spread his hands, "That means we really don't have any solution for the time being."

Shi Guang sighed quietly and thought about it but couldn't think of any solution. Just when he was about to give up thinking, he suddenly received a call.

Yuexiajiu was about to tell the team members behind him to take a break, but Shiguang Jingmi stopped him and said, "Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu, I have a solution. Xiaoru was late because of something. She just came online to ask me about the situation here, so I told her about the monster."

"I didn't have high expectations, but I didn't expect Xiaoru to find a clue on Jiyuan's official website."

There was no reaction from Yuexiajiu yet. Wangchuanshui next to him was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Damn, how could I have forgotten about the official website?"

Jiyuan has set aside a special column on its official website to introduce various monsters. Although not all the attributes are written out in detail, there will definitely be relevant descriptions, and it is obvious that the characteristics can be introduced through these contents.

In the quiet time, or to be more precise, with Xiaoru's reminder, Yuexiajiu and Wangchuanshui quickly found the descriptions of scarlet bats and hell horn worms on the official website respectively, and found the key points in these contents.

"So that's how it is. A certain number of negative effects must be applied to break the hellhorn beetle's shell armor. The scarlet bat will be much more susceptible to the weakening effect than other monsters." Yuexiajiu nodded.

"Jingmi, your girlfriend is pretty good!" Wang Chuanshui patted Shiguang Jingmi's shoulder, and then he thought of something and touched his chin, "But a girl with such a quick mind, it's not good for her to cheat on him in the future."

Shi Guang Jingmi's face turned red immediately after hearing what was said. He wanted to explain the relationship between him and his schoolmate, but facing the old hand Wang Chuanshui, the more he explained, the more confusing it became.

Yuexiajiu didn't want his best friend to harm the great flower of the motherland, so he spoke up to help the innocent boy, "Okay, Ah Shui, Jingmi, go gather the team and tell them the characteristics of the monster."

After the two of them left to organize the team, Yuexiajiu thought about it and called a player dressed as a warlock over, "Shanmu, did you just complete a hidden task recently and get a group skill?"

The warlock called Shanmu nodded, "But there is not much direct damage. It mainly inflicts negative effects on enemies within a 5*5 range, slowing them down, weakening them, and causing loss of life."

"Yes, this is it." Yuexiajiu smiled slightly, took out two pieces of jewelry that increased dark vision from his body and handed them to the other party, "Put on these two pieces of equipment first, your skill will be very useful."

Although Warlock is considered to be the profession with the most skills with negative effects in the Era, most of the warlocks at this stage are only single-target in nature. Even if they have range control, there are very few skills like Sugimu that have a large range and can apply three different negative effects at once.

Shanmu was stunned when he saw the equipment traded to him. After Yuexiajiu's explanation, he finally understood, but he was still a little flattered. "I understand, Brother Jiu, but I need some chanting time to prepare for the release of this skill."

"That's great. I can ask others to cooperate with you in advance. Then you just need to follow my instructions."

After instructing Shanmu on some things and asking him to be responsible for leading the other warlocks, shadow mages and shadow priests, the team was reorganized under the arrangement of Time Tranquility and Wangchuanshui.

Once you understand the characteristics of the two monsters, things become much simpler.

The second time, Oka Forest did not push the warrior forward to attract hatred, but covered several wind mages and came to the nearest safe distance.

Storm pulling.

This is a ranged skill that can be learned by Wind Magicians at level 20. It uses low pressure to create a rotating storm. Although the damage is not high, it has a powerful and special effect, which is that it can gather monsters within a certain range around it.

Normally, he was an expert at leveling up and killing monsters, but at this moment, he seemed to have a special role—

After several storms swept the hell horn beetles and scarlet bats in front to the middle, the "sunshine boys" in the Oka Forest team, including Sugimu, also released their various skills with negative effects.

……

I will only update once today because I am going out to have dinner with some friends.

Chapter 113 The infection begins to take effect

Although warlocks don't have many range control skills at this stage, they do have them. Moreover, as members of the Oka Forest Elite Group, these people naturally have their own unique skills. After the wind magician gathered the monsters, they all unleashed their current most wide-ranging skills with negative effects.

Various spells fell on various locations of the monster group, infecting these monsters with different negative effects.

The most eye-catching of these is the spell cast by Sugimu.

With the bonus of dark vision provided by the equipment, Shanmu could clearly see the distribution of monsters better than anyone else. He chanted and cast spells towards the place that could cover the most monsters. A ball of inky black fog suddenly covered the top of the cave, and fell like a thunderstorm with lightning speed, sweeping up almost all the monsters.

Slowness, weakness, loss of life.

The three completely different negative effects caused the shapes of these monsters to change in different ways. The patterns on the scarlet bats dimmed a little, and the shells of the hell horns became limp.

"There won't be any problems now, right?" Yuexiajiu smiled slightly when he saw this, and immediately led the front row to surround them.

Just as they had speculated, with so many negative effects, the defense of the Hellhorn Beetle has become almost the same as that of monsters of the same level, and the attack power of the Scarlet Bat is also different from before due to the weakening effect.

Warriors can take the damage with peace of mind, while mages and shooters can also deal their own real damage.

Wang Chuanshui, who was very vengeful, took aim at a few solitary scarlet bats with four or five negative effects on them, and said, "I was almost killed instantly by these guys just now. Now I am coming to take revenge."
