How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

"No, this is the order of the vice president. No matter what your emergency is, you must leave, otherwise we will not be polite." The other party refused very firmly, and the other guild members behind him also showed malicious gestures.

"Stop fighting. Let's go somewhere else. Goodbye, brothers and sisters." I grabbed Shi Guangqian who wanted to say something.

Being treated like this by the cute loli, the player who was in the lead felt a little embarrassed.

Although Shi Guangqian and the others didn't know why they suddenly gave up, they still followed me and prepared to leave.

"and many more."

However, seeing that this possible conflict ended with one side retreating, a tall and thin ranger from the black group suddenly shouted out for some reason.

The others suddenly realized what was going on and turned around again, raising their weapons.

"Excuse me, is there anything else?" Although Shi Guangqian's voice was light, it still sounded a little impatient.

Not only her, but everyone else in the team also showed dissatisfaction, and Sugar Coffee even narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction.

I stopped and hid behind Shi Guangqian. I always felt that the other party seemed to be unfriendly. After all, at this stage, the bad rich second generation called Mosha had already stuffed a lot of "thugs" in.

Sure enough, the other party was exposed as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Since you are here, why don't you ladies consider joining our guild. It's not impossible for you to stay. If that's not possible, you can leave some things here and make friends." The ranger said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, some of the black members who were familiar with him and had similar personalities also chuckled.

After hearing these words, everyone in the team showed angry expressions at once. Among the girls involved, Jiatang Kafei gritted her teeth and put her hands directly on the two-handed sword. Even Shi Guangqian showed a sullen look.

"What a bunch of scum." I sighed, ready to use some necessary means to fight this group of people. After all, I am still a bit angry.

"Agen, stop interfering!" However, the man who led the black group was quite reasonable, at least much more reasonable than the ranger and his companions. He immediately scolded them and waved to Shi Guangqian and the others, "You can go now."

"Tsk." The ranger obviously didn't dare to disobey the man's words and curled his lips in annoyance.

When the team retreated back to the outside of the lake, everyone in the team was still somewhat indignant.

"This group of people is really too much. What on earth are they talking about?"

"Not only did they book the entire place, but they also took advantage of their power to bully others. They have no manners at all."

"I've heard about this black crowd before. It seems that most of the people in it are not very good. There are posts on the forum complaining about them stealing monsters, attracting monsters to harm people, and cheating people out of money."

After all, the ranger's words showed that some of them had low quality and character. Even the man who spoke later was not much better. He just scolded his men from beginning to end and obviously had no restraint at all.

He didn't even apologize for what the other person said.

Although the other side has the advantage in numbers and there is actually no need to apologize, it can still be seen from this what the atmosphere in this guild is like.

"I'm so pissed off! If that scumbag shows up in front of me in real life, I'll definitely beat him up!" Sugared Coffee kicked the stone on the ground hard, as if he was the ranger who had spoken rudely to him earlier.

Shi Guang sighed. Even though they couldn't win against the other side due to their numerical superiority, they also felt somewhat sad about the strength of their own team.

After all, if their equipment is upgraded a bit, at least those people will have some concerns and won't treat them as soft persimmons and take advantage of them at will.

The strong prey on the weak, and the law of the jungle is also vividly reflected in the human world.

Shi Guangqian silently made up her mind that she would bring the team to a new height and improve everyone's strength as much as possible. She had no other thoughts but just wanted her companions to no longer suffer such contempt and misfortune.

Chapter 15 Hidden Path

"I'm sorry, sister Yitong, we may not be able to help you for the time being." Shi Guangqian turned around and showed an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry to have delayed you for so long, you can take these equipment, even if they are of no help, consider it as a token of our appreciation."

The others, including Sugared Coffee, realized this and began to feel somewhat guilty.

After all, not only had their team been rescued by the other side, but under the leadership of this "lucky star", they had also obtained rare items and equipment from many treasure chests.

However, faced with the warning from the Black Crowd, they simply left in a panic, unable to help the other party. Even though they were completely unable to fight against that kind of guild, they still felt somewhat guilty.

If only I were stronger, that would be great. Almost everyone had the same thought as Shi Guangqian had before.

I watched every look on everyone's faces, and after knowing that they had "awakened", I smiled slightly, thinking that this group of people in black had unexpectedly helped me.

Even though their equipment was very backward before, they had the skills and cooperation, and when the good equipment was eliminated, they shared it with each other. The whole team was happy and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

However, the previous experience deeply stimulated them, making them realize that the game is also subject to the cruel rule of the jungle, and if they don't want to be bullied, they can only work hard to become stronger. This made them determined to become truly stronger, and no longer just have the simple idea that everything will be fine as long as everyone plays together.

After all, there is a saying that goes, even if one doesn't have to earn a living, one must earn a reputation. It's just that these people may no longer have the true desire to play games.

But this is not a bad thing, at least it is not a bad thing for me.

"Who says that brothers and sisters can't help others? Isn't there still a chance?" I smiled slightly.

Such a bright smile made everyone stunned. Sugar Coffee said hesitantly, "But with that group of people blocking us, we can't get into the island at all, and we can't beat the BOSS that Xiao Tongtong mentioned, right?"

"Then let's go in through another path."

"Xiaolu?" Everyone in the team was a little surprised.

"Come with me first, this way. My brothers and sisters definitely don't want to be driven away by that group of people like this, so we just need to go in without anyone noticing." I took the lead and walked to the side along the lake.

The existence of civilization is always accompanied by various relics and remaining buildings, and of course some unknown secret passages.

We didn't walk too far before I led the team to another jungle near the lake, and found a hidden entrance to a passage in an overgrown bush.

"This is the path leading to the island in the lake. We can enter from underground and hide our tracks, but we may encounter some troublesome monsters in there." I explained to the people behind me.

When I was stopped by the black group before, I had already thought of this retreat, so I pulled Shi Guangqian and the others away without hesitation. Otherwise, it would not be my style to walk around in vain and leave in such an embarrassing way.

Although there are many groups of monsters in this underground passage, they are still easier to avoid or deal with than the large army of black people.

In fact, the BOSS that he was going to fight was also underground on the island in the middle of the lake. This path could also be connected, but the route was a bit more complicated, and walking on the ground could avoid most of the monsters.

Otherwise, he would have led the team directly in through this path at the beginning, and they would not have been blocked by the group of black members.

Speaking of which...

"Should I teach this bastard guild a lesson?" I thought subconsciously.

For some reason, Shi Guangqian, Jiatang Coffee and others who were following someone seemed to see the petite figure in front of them inexplicably, and there seemed to be a pair of devil's sharp horns and tail on the head and behind the figure.

As they walked through the underground passage, not long after they had gone a long way, the view in front of them suddenly became much wider. In front of them appeared a huge underground courtyard with stairways and undulating heights everywhere.

The platform they were on had a clear view of everything in the courtyard. The flat stone pillars and wall patterns, coupled with their orderly arrangement, like the ruins and remaining building outlines above, clearly showed signs of human construction, but as time passed, they were occupied by monsters.

Many monsters roamed around in it, especially in the hall at the bottom which was almost at the same level as the underground river flowing in from the pipe trough. It was like a lively celebration venue, except that they were not human.

These monsters vary in number and type. There are thunder bears, giant lizards, rock wildebeests, etc. that have been seen in the forest before, as well as those that have never been seen before. Among them, foxes are the most numerous, including the blue light fox, the exploding fire fox, the dream shadow fox, etc.

After all, the entire Moon Shadow Woods is under the control of the Moon Fox Chieftain, so it is not surprising that this situation would occur.

After being surprised at first that there was such a huge courtyard underground, everyone reacted quickly and pushed forward while clearing out the monsters blocking the road along the way, trying not to provoke others as much as possible.

Later, Shi Guangqian and the others also found that their previous surprise seemed unnecessary, because under my guidance, they passed through various passages and passed many similar courtyards along the way. Although they might not be as large as the courtyard at the beginning, they were not much different.

Only then did they realize how huge the ancient ruins left behind by the previous civilization were. It was not just the outline they had seen from afar on the ground before. With so many passages and caves connected together, it was almost equivalent to an underground town.

"Sister Qian, Xiao Tongtong should have been here before. Those treasure chests in front should have been deliberately left for us to discover." Just as everyone followed the figure in front through a passage again, Jiatang Coffee came up to Shi Guangqian and said.

Even she, who was slow to react, finally reacted.

"Yeah, I've discovered it before." Shi Guangqian nodded. Now he was just verifying this idea. After all, the other party led the way very skillfully and it was obvious that he knew the place very well.

In this way, the argument that the person in front of them led them all the way to the lake in the forest and then took a detour around it to determine the direction was self-defeating.

"Sister Yitong wants to help us?"

Shi Guangqian thought silently. After the previous incident with the Black Crowd, she no longer had any thoughts of second-guessing the other party or doubting the value of her own team. "If that's the case, then we must repay her well and work hard to improve our strength."

Others, alerted by their sweetened coffee, also noticed the situation and had more or less similar thoughts.

Just when everyone in the team was lost in thought, a clear voice from the front of the team drew their attention back.

"We're here. This is it. The one in front is the boss I want to fight."

Everyone realized that they had unknowingly come to a flat cave that was not much different from the previous one. In the cave, in addition to the ordinary monsters wandering around, there was also a giant beast sleeping in the center.

Earth Vein Ancient Beast [Boss Level]: Level 75, HP: 400000/400000

Chapter 16 A Wonderful Way

Seeing the giant beast sleeping in the center of the cave, everyone in the team was a little surprised, especially after seeing the level displayed above its head and the thick blood volume, they looked a little worried.

After all, it took his team more than two hours just to deal with the level 60 boss. Although that was under the condition of controlling the output, it was also because of the terrain that they were able to solve the problem with a team of more than a dozen people.

It is indeed a bit difficult for them to challenge the boss who is of a higher level and obviously much stronger.

Even though the terrain inside the cave was somewhat complex and looked like it could be used, they had to do enough homework in advance to have the confidence to challenge it. But now, with just the monsters surrounding the giant beast, they didn't know where to start.

"Don't worry, I've already told you I have a way, and I won't make it difficult for my brothers and sisters." Seeing the difficulty on everyone's faces, I smiled and clapped my hands, "Just do what I say, it's guaranteed to be foolproof."

Although everyone was a little skeptical, they nodded, considering that the other party had led the way skillfully and must have been prepared. Besides, even if I didn't say anything, they would help anyway.

After all, he had rescued the team and dealt with the lion scorpion before, and he had given the team treasure chests along the way, so he owed the other party a big favor. If he retreated because of temporary difficulties, it would be unreasonable.

"Let's clear out the surrounding monsters first. The BOSS's alert range will be much smaller when it's asleep. We just need to control it within a range of about 40 yards."

Following my instructions, the team circled around the cave and spent dozens of minutes slowly luring out and killing the monsters one by one. In this way, they gradually cleared out most of the monsters in the cave.

The reason why it is a majority is that there are still dozens of monsters called Earth Vein Rock Beasts left. I have specifically told Shi Guangqian and others not to attack them, and even if they attract hatred, they should just avoid them.

As the guards of the ancient beasts of the earth veins, these monsters will directly awaken the ancient beasts of the earth veins after being attacked, thus causing hatred.

Another point is that even if these earth vein rock beasts are cleared out, they will be summoned back in the battle with the earth vein ancient beasts. If it is a guild of the same size, there will be no problem in getting rid of these guards first, but the team here has less than 20 people at most, so it would be a waste of effort to solve them in advance.

"Then what should we do with these monsters? Even if we don't get rid of them, we won't be able to deal with so many of them at the same time under the attack of the BOSS." After the team cleared out all the monsters except the Geocentric Rock Beast, Shi Guangqian asked hesitantly.

Dozens of monsters are a big problem for the team of barely 20 people. There are also shadows of several elite monsters among them. Coupled with the offensive of the BOSS, even if people are sent to pull them away, the whole team feels exhausted.

Or even this is probably not possible.

"As long as we can prevent them from disturbing us, then can't we just trap them?" I led the team back to the higher ground along the stairs on the walls surrounding the cave, and motioned for them to look at a location on the southeast side of the cave.

Everyone in the team looked and found that there were a lot of randomly stacked stones and stone pillars. From the broken walls next to them, they could infer that there had been a collapse there, forming a maze-like corridor. Of course, this maze was very simple.

"Xiao Tongtong means to let Xishu lure these monsters in." Jiatang Coffee suddenly thought of something, "and then let him hold these monsters inside?"

The thief named Xishu looked at the looks from everyone, then looked at the dozens of vicious rock beasts not far away, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Sister, how can I hold back so many monsters? You might as well just kill me."

What he said was true. It was no problem to let the thief attract and hold the monster's hatred for dozens of seconds, a few minutes would be no problem, and he could barely hold on for more than ten minutes. But the key was whether the team could eliminate the BOSS within more than ten minutes. The answer was obviously impossible.

Fortunately, no one had the intention of letting him try to break through the limits of a thief.

"You guessed the first half of the sentence correctly, but Brother Xishu just needs to lead these monsters into that terrain."

Seeing Xishu's sad face, I couldn't help but smile secretly, and turned to ask an arcane starry sky in the team, "Sister Starry Sky, you should have learned Arcane Barrier and Mind Transcendence, right? Oh, and Dantian's spell slots should not have been updated, right?"

"Well, what do you want me to do, Xiaotong?" The starry sky body nodded.

"Sister Xingkong, please register these two arcane spells into the spell slot first."

Compared with other mages, the special thing about arcane mages is that they will gain a special system of spell slots as their levels increase. At level 50, an arcane mage will normally gain three spell slots by completing a task from the professional association, even if he has not changed his job.

The arcane magician can register skills into spell slots. The cooldown time of these skills in the spell slots will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, when the arcane magic uses these skills, additional effects will be obtained, such as the offensive ones will increase the damage, the auxiliary ones will increase the duration or other benefits, and so on.

It can be said that in the later stages, spell slots are very important for arcane mages. Top arcane mages can form powerful combinations by matching skills in spell slots, thus playing a huge role in battle.

However, spell slots can only be used to register the arcane skills of the arcane profession itself. Common magic skills of mages cannot be effective. Moreover, the registration of spell slots can only be updated once a day and cannot be accumulated, which somewhat limits the ability of arcane magic.

The Arcane Barrier and Mind Over Nature that I mentioned are both arcane spells that can be learned before reaching level 50. The former is used to create an obstructive arcane wall that lasts infinitely but can be broken. A maximum of three walls can exist at the same time, while the latter can shorten the cooldown time of any of one's own skills by a certain amount.

Starry Sky is not stupid. After registering the two arcane spells into the spell slots as I said, he guessed what I was thinking. "Xiaotong wants me to use Arcane Barrier and Mind Transcendence to block the hole in the terrain?"

She had observed before that the terrain seemed complicated but was actually more like a simple maze with only two entrances connecting to the outside. It shouldn't be difficult to block it.

Shi Guangqian thought about it and asked, "But the arcane barrier can also be attacked by monsters. According to the attacks of those monsters, it may not last for a few minutes."

"To be precise, based on the strength of Sister Starry Sky's spells, it should be about two and a half minutes." I chuckled and told everyone my thoughts.

Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this. After all, this idea sounded beyond their thinking framework and seemed wild and unrealistic, but when they looked into it carefully, they found that the possibility seemed very high.

Chapter 17 Totem Pole

According to the game mechanism of the era, these earth vein rock beasts are all ordinary or elite monsters. Their low intelligence means that they will only act according to the most basic logic, and the most critical logic among them is efficiency first.

If there are multiple ways to complete an instruction, use the one that takes the shortest time to complete.

Call the two openings in the terrain A and B respectively.

The passage in that terrain is relatively narrow, and its width can only accommodate three or four earth beasts at the same time. If they attack, it is calculated as five. Even if there are two elites inside, the arcane barrier cast by the starry sky body will take at least two and a half minutes to break through.

However, if only opening A is blocked, it will only take dozens of earth beasts one and a half minutes to reach another exit B through the corridor of this terrain. Obviously, these monsters will not choose to attack the arcane barrier but leave through exit B.
