How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Little did they know that although the attack power of these bomb bugs was quite high, their defense was very weak. They could not withstand the damage of Wangchuanshui's skills and were already reduced to low health.

Wang Chuanshui probed and found that the bug's attacks did not have an explosive effect, so he was almost certain, "It seems that it is indeed the same as the Explosive Flame Tree, and has the characteristic of exploding after death."

With this thought in mind, his heart moved and the sharp blade in his hand instantly attacked, taking away the opponent's remaining blood.

Sure enough, when its blood volume was almost gone, it made a squeaking sound, and then its huge back expanded a little again, flashing a faint red light, just like a ignited bomb.

Or it could be more accurate to say that it was a Taliban fighter who, with the resolution to die together, dashed forward with his limbs swung rapidly before dying.

Wang Chuanshui didn't want to be hit in vain, so he quickly retreated, and at the same time reminded Yuexiajiu and Luanxue who were not far away, "Be careful, this bomb bug is about to explode."

What he didn't expect was that the bomb bug's target was not himself. Even Yuexiajiu and Luanxue didn't expect this, or it was mainly Yuexiajiu's target.

Originally, after hearing the sound of Wangchuanshui, Yuexiajiu subconsciously dodged to the side, and then looked over curiously, as if he was there to watch the fun.

After all, according to normal logic, this kind of monster will definitely choose the target with the greatest hatred after death. If it cannot catch up, it will automatically explode after a few seconds.

However, when he noticed that the Wangchuan River had given up on the culprit and the bomb bugs were rushing towards him without caring about anyone else, he understood it deeply.

Never use normal people's thinking to understand the designer's thinking.

"Damn it, is there something about me that attracts this bug?"

The bomb bug was extremely fast, and Yuexiajiu, as a shield fighter, had difficulty moving and could not dodge it in time. So he simply gave up and let it attach to the shin of his left leg.

However, I also understood my previous doubts. With such a fast speed, it is no wonder that the knight named Sanwu could not react in time, or he did not even think about the opponent's explosive characteristics.

"Oh my, this bug is quite idealistic. He's going to find a big shot to blow up." Wang Chuanshui, who was not far away, teased.

Now it was Wang Chuanshui's turn to watch the show. Although he did not expect that the monster he provoked would end up causing trouble for his good friend.

"Don't say anything, you're treating me to a midnight snack tonight." Yuexiajiu twitched his lips, "I can be considered as someone who has taken a bullet for you."

That being said, the two were actually just joking with each other and didn't really think the explosion damage from the bomb bugs would be deadly.

After all, considering the level of Yuexiajiu and the attributes of his gold suit, as well as the defensive benefits of his many passive skills, it would be a pipe dream to expect him to cause much damage to such a big tank.

And they always believed that the knight named Sanwu was killed by the bomb bug only because he was low on health.

However, Yuexiajiu took into consideration that he would have to withstand the attacks of these monsters, which might be dangerous, so after thinking about it, he decided to use a defensive posture and asked Luanxue next to him to cast an additional defensive blessing.

Although it seemed like a long time, in fact only seven or eight seconds had passed when the bomb bug attached itself to Yuexiajiu.

Just after Yuexiajiu asked Luanxue to bless himself, the huge back of the bomb bug swelled up again, and it seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

But at this moment, the attack of the monster in front of him also came. Yuexiajiu didn't think much and put up a shield to block it.

However, the next second, accompanied by the bang of a bomb exploding, his vision suddenly went dark.

Originally, Yuexiajiu thought that the explosion effects were just too violent, but when he opened his eyes again, the scene around him had changed.

"...?"

What’s going on? Could this bomb have an illusion effect?

When he noticed the familiar decorations around him, Yuexiajiu finally realized, "Wait, isn't this Nalton's resurrection point?"

Which means... he's dead?

He was killed by a bomb bug? He was almost at full health and in a defensive stance, but was killed by a normal bomb bug? Are you kidding?

Yuexiajiu was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and quickly opened the system message record.

He wanted to find evidence to prove that he was simply attacked by too many monsters and was killed by the explosion damage of the bomb bug, or that he was in a negative state of increased damage and ignored the damage of the bomb bug.

However, when he saw the system record column showing that the bomb bug explosion caused him 2200 damage, he suddenly fell silent.

While drinking under the moon, he suddenly wanted to sit down, smoke a cigarette and think about life. However, there were no cigarettes in the game, and there was no life for him to think about.

Fortunately, his mental state was not so weak. Although it was still a little hard to accept, he began to think, "Strange, how can there be such an unscientifically high level of damage at this stage?"

"And isn't this number 2200 the monster's health?"

Yuexiajiu is indeed the leader of the team. He is observant and thoughtful. He quickly thought of something. "Could it be that the explosion after death is based on the bomb bug's upper limit of health, and it should be real damage. Otherwise, the defensive posture and the defense added by the blessing will take effect, and it can block some of the damage anyway."

"But why didn't that bug go after Ah Shui? Instead, it came after me first. Isn't the hatred mechanism a priority?"

Just as Yuexiajiu was thinking about the bomb bugs' attachment patterns, dozens of lights suddenly flashed around him.

Yuexiajiu realized that he was still in the resurrection hall. He coughed and was about to go out. At the same time, he felt a little gloating, wondering which group had suffered a disaster in the ruins and was wiped out.

However, just as he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed that some of the figures in the light looked familiar.

Looking again, damn, aren’t these all people from the elite group that I lead?

……

……

I am an old swordsman, and I swear that the 2200 was just a coincidence, and I was not persecuting General Hu.

Chapter 122 Sharing the Damage

"Why did you all get wiped out?"

Yuexiajiu's expression was very subtle, with a hint of gloating, only to find out that it was his own house that had collapsed. He even counted them specifically and found that not a single one was left behind and all of them had returned alive.

Catching the look from Yuexiajiu, Wangchuanshui whistled innocently, "Don't look at me, I just wanted to commit suicide together with you because I saw you all died."

Yuexiajiu exposed it without a second thought, "Then why don't you use the scroll to return to the city? You will lose experience points no matter how many times you die."

However, Wang Chuanshui was even more shameless, and he looked as if he had suddenly realized something. "Oh, that's right, why didn't I think of that?"

This caused many people in the team to laugh secretly, and Yuexiajiu couldn't help but twitch his lips when seeing this.

"Brother Jiu, it's actually all caused by that monster called the bomb bug."

Finally, after time's quiet explanation, Yuexiajiu finally understood what had happened.

After his death, although Shi Guang Jingmi was very surprised, he immediately took over the command of the team and wanted the mage to use group attack magic to eliminate all the monsters so that the team could rest and retreat to a safe distance to calculate the losses.

As a result, due to the unclear situation and the presence of more than 20 bomb bugs in the monster group, the damage of all the mages in the team was obviously excessive for this kind of monster.

Therefore, the warriors, knights, and thieves in the front row were immediately killed by the high damage under the dying counterattack of the bomb bugs, and even the back row professions that were slightly closer to the front were killed.

Although some people were not attached to the bomb bugs and survived, they were naturally unable to resist the surging monsters after losing the front row, and soon followed the footsteps of their teammates in front of them and died one by one.

After hearing the front-line soldiers and knights around him, who had strong defenses, complain about the damage caused by the bomb bug explosion, Yuexiajiu suddenly felt that it was not unacceptable to him.

And through other people's descriptions, Yuexiajiu was confirmed that his previous inference was not wrong.

"Damn, it's actually the health limit, and it's real damage, how can I withstand this?"

"Full stack of health should be enough."

"Don't even think about it. If you're entangled by two bomb bugs, you won't be able to withstand it even if you're a blood cow."

When everyone heard Yuexiajiu's explanation, they immediately started talking.

However, despite such complaints, the problem still needs to be solved, especially how to solve the problem of excessive damage caused by bomb bugs.

However, several mages in the team, including Shi Guang Jingmi, showed puzzled expressions after hearing these people's complaints.

Shi Guang Jingmi also went to look for the system records just like he did before the moonlit night. After confirming that the numbers were correct, he asked curiously, "Were you all killed by a bomb bug explosion?"

"Of course. 2200 damage means he can't die any more."

"Although I was entangled by three bomb bugs, the last two were actually already dead..."

After hearing this, Shi Guang Jingmi and the others were even more confused. "Strange, why didn't we feel the damage was that high even after we were bombed by three bomb bugs in a row before?"

According to Shi Guang Jingmi's description, at that time they were gradually surrounded by monsters around them. They had no time to care about the transmission effect of the terrain and were forced to gather together. Among them, several people were successively attached to three bomb bugs and exploded three times in a row. Coincidentally, all the people were within the explosion range.

But these three consecutive explosions only caused them to lose most of their blood. It was not as fatal as everyone described, just one hit.

"And some of them have negative status effects that increase their damage. We are so close, I think they have all been transferred to us."

A squishy profession with a negative status who survived three consecutive explosions without dying, compared to the front row who was killed by the bomb bug in one go and had activated various defensive skills, the contrast is simply a world of difference.

Why is the damage gap so big?

After listening to the descriptions of Shi Guang Jingmi and others, this question suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.

"Could it be that the damage will be shared equally..." Wang Chuanshui couldn't help but murmur, but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. "No, it should be that the more people there are, the less the average damage will be. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that six or seven fragile mages can withstand three consecutive waves of explosions."

He mentioned his guess to everyone in Oka Forest, and they all showed surprised expressions.

"Now that Brother Shui mentioned that, it really is possible."

"The more people there are, the less damage there is. According to this situation, wouldn't the damage be negligible if there are more than ten people?"

"But the explosion range is within the transmission distance. If someone has a negative status, everyone will be infected all at once."

After being reminded by someone in the team, everyone realized that if they really wanted to deal with the explosion of the bomb bugs and gathered together, it would be a great opportunity for the negative status to be transmitted.

But if the burden is not shared, with the damage that even the front row cannot withstand, once a person is attached to a bomb bug, that person is almost certain to die.

Just as a certain pink-haired guy had predicted, the problem of loss of manpower and the transmission of negative status had planted a difficult decision-making situation among the members of the Oka Forest Guild, or perhaps other guilds.

Everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on Yuexiajiu who seemed to be thinking, hoping to get a correct answer from him.

"Let's go back first." Yuexiajiu said after thinking for a while.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to other areas, or go back to the area where the bomb bugs are?" Wang Chuanshui asked again.

"It may be more difficult in other places. In my opinion, it is easier to deal with than the previous soul shadow. Now is the pioneering stage. We must first understand the information of the second layer as thoroughly as possible, so that we can formulate the most beneficial plan for us."

Yuexiajiu shook his head, "And I have also thought of a rough way to deal with it."

While leading the team back to the second level of the ruins, Yuexiajiu explained his method to everyone.

Simply put, it depends on the type of player that the bomb bug is attached to. If there is a negative status, let someone with the same negative status go over to share the damage, and vice versa.

The priest's group purification must be saved and released together when the bomb bugs gather the front row with negative status.

Mages should avoid using group attack magic and be careful to control their output so as not to kill too many bomb bugs at one time.

Chapter 123 I activate the magic card, fusion

It sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult to implement. First of all, the priest's group purification can only purify a single player of up to three negative states, which requires the cooperation of multiple priests.

It would be ok if all the front rows were purified at the same time, but those front rows must be dispersed. Not only to attract the hatred of monsters, but also to prevent the transmission of terrain. Moreover, with the characteristic of bomb bugs that they explode in ten seconds, the battlefield will definitely be divided into different war zones.

The cooldown of group purification is obviously not enough to cope with it, and the pressure on the priest will be very great at this time.

After all, if the purification falls on the front row in a certain direction, the negative status on the opponent will definitely increase sharply, which will cause a two-way impact. There is defense pressure on the front row, and the healing pressure on the priest is also increased.

In addition, there is the lasting influence of the moss effect. Although the group purification spell does not have much impact, it can obviously cause considerable interference to the ordinary single-target purification spell.

This is the case for the front row and the priest. The output professions in the back row also have a hard time controlling the output rhythm. Without group attack magic, they have fewer means to deal with ordinary monsters, and it is easy to encounter situations where the damage is not enough, or the damage cannot be concentrated together.

In fact, the situation is even worse.

After they gradually realized that the bomb bugs' dying counterattack was not based on the hatred mechanism, but on the priority of the number of negative states, they cursed the perverted planning in their hearts.

This is entirely intended to push players back to the previous difficult problem.

Fortunately, the Oka Forest Elite Group had certain advantages in equipment and technology. Plus, with Yuexiajiu's command, they were able to cope with it and slowly gained a foothold in it.

Only sometimes some things happen.

As mentioned before, the priest's group purification cannot remove the negative status of all the front-line people, but can only remove some of them at once. If the others have too many negative status and the defense pressure is too great, they can retreat from the front first, and the team will also shrink the range of attack.

The front row who retreated naturally could not stay in the back, so several areas were specially designated for them to stay temporarily, waiting for treatment and purification. With the mentality of finding joy in suffering, many front row soldiers in the Oka Forest jokingly called this area the "isolation zone."

Although it is not considered to be finding joy in suffering.

Although negative states will stack, they will not be fatal. The most you can do is use a recovery potion, or ask a priest nearby to give you a treatment.

So, there was a rare opportunity to take some time off. The people in the front row who had retreated did not pay much attention to the [infection] effect of the terrain. Most of them gathered together and boasted to each other about their "glorious" deeds. This is one of the natures of boys.

Yuexiajiu did not try to stop them when he saw this. After all, the negative status of these people would always be lifted and would not affect the people in the back row next to them. Besides, they were just taking a break from their busy schedule, so he let them do what they wanted.

But he never imagined that an invisible bomb had been quietly buried among these people.

A warrior had just stepped back from the front, waiting for the priest's purification while talking with his companions about what happened in the game. He did not notice that six of his many negative states suddenly disappeared, and then two new negative states gradually emerged.

Although this situation often happens to the front line of the Oka Forest who are fighting monsters head-on.

However, because the action was covert, the front-row soldiers who were busy fighting monsters did not pay close attention to their specific conditions. In addition, the one-time group purification effect of the priests would expel it together, so it had not been noticed.

Moreover, most of these newly emerging negative states are simply a fusion of two or three DEBUFFs, adding up the effects of each other, and do not produce any powerful effects.
