In addition to these sand and stone creatures, you can also see many other monsters like sand scorpions, scaly snakes and rock lizards. Of course, compared to the former, not only are their attributes but also their abilities a bit weaker, so you don't need to worry about them.
The two elite groups had nearly 120 people. They easily dealt with the scattered monsters on the road. However, they had just advanced a short distance when they encountered a tough enemy.
In the square-like area ahead, more than a hundred sand and stone creatures were wandering around the central stone pillar. Among them, several elites and even a leader-level creature could be seen.
War Sandstone Golem [Boss Level]: Level 75, HP: 250000/250000
Although it is a bit weaker than ordinary bosses in terms of health, it can still be a big problem when coordinating with other monsters around it.
"There is a special prop in the stone pillar in front. You need to use it to open the mechanism in front to pass." Meng Qingying thought I didn't understand much and reminded me.
Although I have a relatively clear understanding of the entire plot in the ancient city of Marina, I did not reveal it.
"Do you need my instructions?" I asked the red rose next to me.
“No need. We can still break through this area ahead. I’ll leave the rest to you, my little tong.” Red Rose smiled slightly, then began to mobilize the members of the elite group and started making arrangements.
Using nearby buildings and rocks as obstacles to keep melee fighters stuck in position, the mages took up high positions, the priests stood in several safer positions, and the paladins were ready to provide support at any time. It was obvious that they intended to attract the monsters in front and defeat them one by one.
It can be seen that Red Rose is really good at arranging the formation, which can make the team exert great lethality. I have seen this before. After all, as the president of a large guild, if he doesn't even have this ability, how can he control the many members under him?
"Then I'll help lure the monster away."
But now that I'm involved, I don't want to be idle too much, so that I don't feel guilty when I get the spoils, so I volunteered to take on the task of luring the monsters.
"You are worthy of being my daughter, so obedient." This made Red Rose rub my face hard again, which made me suddenly regret my overly "sensible" idea.
Meng Qingying next to her seemed to have gotten used to it and just smiled helplessly.
Fortunately, Red Rose was not a person who did not know the time, or rather, under the jealous look of a certain smell fetishist nearby, she quickly let me and the other thieves go together to lure the monster.
After several times of guidance, the people in the elite group knew that I had the ability of "dual profession", and they were also very convinced of my strength as a thief.
Therefore, the dozen or so elite thieves did not hesitate but dispersed according to my arrangements, using some small tricks to lure out the sand and gravel monsters in the distance in batches.
The efficiency was much higher than the usual means of luring monsters. It only took a moment, with the cooperation of other members of the elite group behind, to clear out dozens of monsters outside the square.
The remaining leader in the middle, as well as the surrounding elites and more than forty sand and stone creatures, could not be lured out one by one due to the overlapping warning ranges. Under the command of the Red Rose, all their hatred was attracted over.
"Shuiyan, Muqing, Zhiyuan, Qinghua, stop the leader." Red Rose ordered.
Following her order, four slender and beautiful figures rushed out from the elite group, using the speed brought by the charge to push the shields in their hands forward. They coordinated with each other to directly stop the War Sand and Stone Puppet, and cooperated with the dozen or so warriors and paladins that followed to block the opponent's movement.
In addition to Shuiyan, the other three girls are also the top elite shield warriors in Rose Heart. Not only that, they are also among the top 50 in the empire's professional rankings. As the main tank, Shuiyan is the fourth-ranked super shield warrior in the empire.
After all, Rose Heart is one of the largest guilds in the Orwyn Empire, so how could it have so few powerful members under it?
"Will the guild have so many powerful masters in the future?"
Looking at the many figures in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. I made up my mind silently, "It seems that I have to ask my aunt and the others to speed up their actions, but I also have to arrange the plan smoothly first."
The main tank and sub-tank, including Shisha, blocked the boss's position. Other melee professions did not fall behind either. They all stood in front to resist the other sand and stone creatures that were besieging them, providing good protection for the output professions behind them.
Although with the explosive speed brought by the charge, Shiyan and the others' shield strikes successfully caused the puppet leader's movements to slow down and fall into dizziness.
But the leader's resilience was there, and he woke up from the control in just a moment. He waved his huge arms and attacked the surroundings frantically, especially the four people of Shisha who were stuck in the main position.
Even with the support of top-grade equipment, it was obvious that she could not withstand this situation. While pressing forward and assuming a defensive posture, Shuiyan slammed the dark gold tower shield to the ground. A golden ripple instantly enveloped her and her companions in the surrounding area.
The defense suddenly improved.
Mu Qing and the others were not willing to fall behind and used their hidden skills that increased their defense.
Coupled with the blessing of the paladin next to them, even under the crazy attack of the puppet leader, large damage numbers kept appearing above Shiyan and the others' heads. It looked terrifying, but the damage could not be compared with the frequency.
It was like the queen from Freljord using her Q to attack a crying mummy.
Therefore, under the non-stop healing white light of many priests behind him, it was very easy to maintain the blood volume of the front row at a healthy level.
Chapter 63: Special Insights
But even so, Red Rose did not slack off.
"Pay attention to removing stiffness and slowness, and priests should try to keep purification."
"Yes."
There were fluctuating sounds in the team channel.
While the front row was trying their best to resist, the mages, archers, and warlocks in the back were not idle either. With a brilliant light, some were chanting high-damage or curse magic, while others had already cast magic, bang bang bang, on the huge puppet leader or the surrounding gravel creatures, smashing pits and cracks on the surface of the gravel.
Although under the power of the ancient capital's earth veins, these monsters can continue to repair themselves with the help of the sand and soil on the surface, it is obvious that the speed of repair is not enough to resist the fierce damage of the elite group.
Seeing such a grand battle scene, I couldn't help but have some inspiration. Although I could switch to Dark Word Mage to comfortably output in the back, I wanted to test my current strength as a great thief. After all, after equipping the Wings of Lawrence, I haven't fought seriously yet.
Taking advantage of the magic flying behind me, I sneaked around behind a giant sand and stone beast, and the dagger in my hand emitted a cold light, attacking it from behind.
This creature, which was more than ten levels away from him, could originally only approach to within two or three yards at most. But now, with the high stealth bonus from Lawrence's wings, it had quietly approached to within about one yard without being discovered.
Not only that, after appearing to attack, the speed was completely incomparable to before. The agility attribute bonus of 100 seemed to transcend the original shackles and framework, making all actions smooth, like a wonderful feeling that came to mind.
And that seems to be the case.
-1877
The moment the dagger touched the gravel, it took away nearly a quarter of the puppet's health. Feeling my own agility at the moment, and after seeing the lucky blow from the opponent, a light flashed in my mind. I clenched the dagger in my hand and quickly grabbed the fleeting light.
-371, -354...
It was a familiar combo, except that it only took less than 1.5 seconds until the final bone-eviscerating move, which was almost as long as the time taken by those top-ranked thieves in his previous life. However, he had just completed it in one turn.
"I see. No wonder those extraordinary professions in the past life were so powerful."
At this moment, the problems that had troubled me in my previous life suddenly became clear. It was not only about operation and personal strength, but also required a calm and peaceful mentality, as well as a decisive and free-spirited momentum and confidence.
Thinking of this, his mind became clear. When he raised his head and looked at the sand and stone creature in front of him with very little blood left, the light in his eyes and the aura of his body had been completely renewed, as if he had been reborn.
This seemingly unintentional change was accidentally noticed by Meng Qingying who was not far away.
"This is..." Meng Qingying's gaze couldn't help but focus. This kind of aura, lively and natural, she had only seen it in some of the top professional masters in the empire.
Moreover, in comparison, if those professional masters are unpolished jade, the other party is more like a finely carved jade that still needs some precipitation to become perfect.
However, this feeling appeared in a little child, which really surprised Meng Qingying. "Sure enough, this child is just like what Qiangwei said, he is not ordinary."
It's not unreasonable that Meng Qingying was so surprised. For example, technology and equipment can be improved, but feelings and momentum are much more mysterious. Most of the time, one needs to enlighten himself, and they have a huge impact on a person.
Even if I switch back to the profession of Dark Word Mage, with this kind of understanding, my consciousness and skills can also be improved in the same way.
I didn't know how Meng Qingying reacted, because my attention was completely occupied by the excitement in my heart at the moment. After defeating the sand and stone puppet in front of me, I had no intention of stopping and enjoying myself.
It was not until there were four or five sand and stone creatures falling in his hands that the spiritual feeling gradually subsided, and he had already engraved this feeling in his mind.
One person solved one-tenth of the amount that the elite group needed to deal with, which required the cooperation of other mages, but this kind of strength and technology naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"This little girl is getting stronger and stronger." Red Rose couldn't help but feel emotional as she looked at the petite figure in the distance, even though she already knew the other party's talent and strength after the previous few contacts.
However, the level displayed at this moment, although only the tip of the iceberg, still exceeded her expectations. One can only sigh that the other party's growth rate is not something that ordinary people can imagine, and there seems to be a bit of fantasy in it.
"It would be nice if I could have a daughter like Xiaotong."
Red Rose muttered softly to herself, and couldn't help but recall some past events, and the expression on her face darkened again.
But she soon regained her original expression and continued to command the elite group under her, making people think that the expression she showed before was just an illusion.
Although the level 75 boss and dozens of sand creatures around level 75 are very strong, they are undoubtedly not very impressive in front of one of the largest guilds in the empire, especially the elite group within it.
The battle lasted only a dozen minutes before the war sand and stone puppet fell down with a loud bang. As for the sand and stone creatures, they had been cleared out early on.
The loot dropped by the boss is very rich. Taking into account the monsters cleared around, there are many gold equipment, skill books and rare materials dropped, which are comparable to the high-difficulty dungeons of the same level. This is a kind of "welfare" of the guild dungeon in brief.
Otherwise, Rose Heart would not have spent several days here with his elite forces.
However, although it is generous, it is just average in my eyes.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Red Rose knew what I was thinking. After having people pack up their equipment, she took a rune stone from the stone pillar in the center of the square and embedded it into a groove in the huge rock wall in front.
With a rumbling sound, the rock wall fell down, revealing an open road ahead.
There were some scattered monsters on the road. Although there were also groups of monsters of a certain size, it was still too early for me to take action. So under the command of Red Rose, the team advanced forward quickly.
While clearing monsters along the way, I also took the time to ask Sister Dolan in the next copy about their progress in the chat channel that I had already established.
However, it seemed that the previous part was not difficult, or they had experienced many failures and had rich experience in the early stages of the copy, so the progress was not much different from their own.
It’s just a matter of how many monsters you encounter on the road.
However, as the team moved forward, we were the first to encounter a situation that made us stop temporarily.
It wasn't like before where there was a boss blocking the way, but the road ahead was divided into two.
Chapter 64: The Monster Group at the End of the Alley
"Why are you all looking at me? Are you stuck here because you have difficulty making decisions?"
Facing the gazes from the side, I couldn't help but stick out my tongue and said jokingly.
After all, Rose Heart would never do such a stupid thing. Meng Qingying chuckled and explained gently, "That's not the case. The difficulty of this copy is that after we clear the monsters on the right road, there is an impassable barrier."
"The road on the left is a dead end. There are almost the same number of monsters as before, but there are two bosses that are more difficult to deal with. After defeating them, a mechanism will appear." Meng Qingying paused and explained the reason why they were stuck. "We originally thought that this mechanism was used to open the barrier, but after trying it, we found that it was useless."
The red rose next to me sighed, gently pinched my cheek and added, "We have tried many methods, but we can't remove the barrier. We have quit and started over more than a dozen times, but it's still the same."
So if you want to sigh, just sigh. Why take it out on me?
I couldn't help but twitch my lips.
However, Red Rose seemed to have thought of something and asked in the chat channel, "Coral, how is the situation over there?"
"It's the same as last time. The boss in front has strong defenses and can't be defeated. Moreover, it has the ability to automatically repair itself. If we really keep fighting, I don't think we can kill it even if we spend a day."
Red Coral in the next copy looked at the huge Sand and Stone Holy Armor Beast in the distance that completely blocked the intersection, with a helpless look on her face. However, with her delicate cheeks and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eyes, she looked quite charming.
Meanwhile, Duo Lan, who was standing next to him, was not idle. She warned a troublemaker, "Don't get too close, Eleven."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the other party screaming and running away. Facing the sand and gravel disaster beast that was attracted by its hatred and attacked again, Dolan felt veins popping up on his forehead. After letting the soldiers in the front row block it for a moment, he ordered the others to retreat again.
The dire situation next door was clearly revealed through the chat channel. Or rather, it was not just next door. If what Meng Qingying said was true, this side was actually in a sense also equivalent to a stuck situation.
But that only applies to Rose Heart.
"Sister Xiaotong, have you thought of anything?" Meng Qingying saw my expression and asked curiously.
Red Rose also looked over and narrowed her eyes, "If you keep it a secret, you'll be punished by mom."
I quickly shrank my head and ran to hide behind Sister Shuiyan next to me. "Go to the left first. It's troublesome to explain now. You will understand when the time comes."
Compared to Shuiyan who was showing a little happiness, and the doting expressions of Mu Qing and others in the front row, Red Rose who failed to get what she wanted stood up with her hands on her hips like a sulking child. Meng Qingying next to her could not help but cough and called the two elite groups to walk to the left.
Walking along this alley that didn't seem wide, I soon came across the situation that Meng Qingying described.
At the end of the alley in front, in an area surrounded by surrounding sand and stone buildings, more than two hundred sand and stone creatures gathered, among which dozens of elites could be seen. In addition, there were two huge monsters with eagle heads and human bodies, holding long spears.
It looks almost the same as the patron saint of the pharaoh in ancient mythology.
Sun Guard [Boss]: Level 80, HP: 400000/400000
Obviously judging from the amount of health, the strength of this monster is not comparable to the previous defective puppet leader, and when two of them act at the same time, more front-line personnel are naturally needed to hold on.
Coupled with the fact that there are more monsters gathering around, the difficulty is undoubtedly more than doubled compared to the square ahead.
The only advantage that can be considered is the relatively narrow terrain around it. As long as the opening in front is blocked, the magic professions and shooters in the back can output as much as possible.
But on the other hand, this also means that the front-row warriors need to withstand more attacks, and the priest's healing pressure will also increase a lot.
"It's a bit troublesome here. It will take a lot of time and energy. It will take us at least fifty minutes to clear this place and activate the mechanism." Meng Qingying said. Although she had only played it two or three times and then went to other independent copies to help command, she still had a deep impression of this place.
The reason is nothing more than how difficult those monsters are to deal with.
However, Red Rose seemed quite confident about this, but it was just her confidence in a certain figure next to her, "Xiaotong baby, it's up to you."
"Ah, do you want me to take action now?"
"Do you want to wait an hour?"
I stuck out my tongue and called out a dozen local mages in the elite group, including Meng Qingying. I set up a special chat channel and explained some arrangements to them.
"Will it really work to do this?" Meng Qingying asked subconsciously after hearing my instructions.
But before I could say anything, Red Rose gave her bestie a shot of adrenaline and smiled, "Don't worry, my little Tong baby is very powerful."
Then the next sentence crushed my arrogance, which had not yet risen.
"If you fail, I'll help you teach her a lesson."
