How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

explode?

Yi Renge had some associations when he heard this. He would occasionally visit forums and was quite familiar with some hot events that had happened in Orwyn. It seemed that a few months ago, there was a dungeon called the Black Prison Forest, which was said to be opened for the first time. There was a terrain in it with such a mechanism.

Could it be that the designer has returned to his old job?

But someone in the team disagreed, "But when we were clearing the monsters just now, didn't we use fire magic as well? And more than a few times."

"I guess this effect only exists inside the giant wooden pile, because it was the same when we came here last time. Otherwise, we wouldn't have waited until the whole team was wiped out to find out." Bing Lan sighed.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately had a deep understanding of the designer's malicious intentions.

The physics engine of the era is somewhat similar to reality. For example, although the space on the giant pile of wood is relatively wide, it is also a pseudo-closed space. The power of an explosion in such a place can be imagined.

What's more, according to what Binglan said before, the power of the explosion will increase with the magic damage.

"I can demonstrate. Stand further away. It's better to go outside."

Hearing that Wushengqishan was going to demonstrate it to them personally to prove that what he said was correct, although everyone was a little skeptical, they immediately left the giant pile of wood.

The team members in another huge wooden stake also watched from afar as Silent Strand on the opposite side performed magic.

Flame dove.

Fortunately, this level 20 skill had not been silently stranded and forgotten, and he found it in a corner.

When the chanting just started, even Yi Renge, who was standing closer outside, could feel the huge amount of heat that was gathering rapidly.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and look inside the giant pile of wood.

As a group of syllables were chanted in just two seconds, the fire elements gathered in Silently Stranded's hands turned into scorching doves and blasted towards the surrounding solid tree layers.

boom.

The turtledoves hit the treetops, causing dazzling sparks to fly everywhere.

The violent movement did not seem like the power that a level 20 skill could have.

Everyone looked at it in amazement, but they soon remembered what they should focus on.

Wait, what about explosions?

"Maybe there's no chance of triggering it."

Wushengtan was stunned for a moment, then quickly released several low-level fire magic spells in succession, but the results were the same as the Flame Dove, and there was no so-called explosion effect.

Wu Shengtan was dumbfounded. How come this was different from what was written in the script?

Bing Lan, who was standing next to him, was silent for a moment, and suddenly thought of a guess, "Maybe this giant pile of wood has no effect."

However, soon, the fire method was demonstrated in another giant pile of wood, and even after changing two giant piles in succession, there was still no explosion.

Everyone couldn't help but cast strange looks at the young couple.

Yi Renge coughed and came to the rescue of the two. "Forget it, Wusheng and Binglan must have made a mistake. The explosion might have been caused by other reasons... But just in case, fire mages should try not to use group attack magic."

He thought of a post he had read by chance before, which described the situation of the fire mage in the Black Prison Forest, and added an extra sentence at the end.

So everyone treated this farce as a joke. According to the previous arrangement, Yi Yiran and Moro were asked to pull the monsters over. They divided into two groups and used the cover of giant wooden stakes to solve the problems one by one.

Wait until there are no monsters nearby, then look forward for other suitable giant piles of wood.

Although some time might be wasted in the middle, it was safe and stable. In addition, the location of the snake-scale vine was not far away. In just 20 to 30 minutes, they arrived at the back.

As long as we get rid of one more group of monsters, we can engage in a head-on battle with those elites and get the snake-scale vines they are guarding.

Along the way, they replaced no less than seven or eight giant wooden stakes, but there was no "explosion" as Silently Stranded had described, so the other two fire mages in the team felt relieved.

Even Wushengtanjian and Binglan couldn't help but wonder if they were just unlucky before and that's why they encountered this special situation.

"This is the last wave of monsters. Everyone cheer up."

Yiren Ge encouraged the team and led them into two huge wooden stakes, instructing Yi Yiran and Moro to pull as many as possible in each wave than before.

Following the movement of the two thieves, more than fifty monsters followed behind them and charged towards the crowd in a mighty force.

"Fire magic and prepare group attack magic."

Yi Renge gave an order in the team channel, and then he and a paladin next to him were the first to reach the gap in the giant wooden stake on their side.

The experience along the way had already put his worries to rest. Moreover, if a group of monsters of this size could not be quickly cleared out using group attack magic, there might be the possibility of accidents.

What's more, they discovered that the fire damage in this terrain seemed to have an additional bonus, and it would be a waste if they didn't make good use of it.

Since the captain had given the order, the fire mages in the team naturally carried out the order. Moreover, they were also a little impatient, so they started to prepare immediately.

Silent Stranding was no exception. He looked at the surging group of monsters outside and chanted the level 60 high-level group attack magic [Punishment Flame].

But as soon as he finished chanting a group of syllables, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Or perhaps the teammates around him also noticed something was wrong.

Why do these gathered fire elements seem so violent, as if they could get out of control at any time?

And the next second, a violent explosion confirmed their thoughts.

boom--

Chapter 152: Unfinished Torture

boom--

As a violent explosion sounded, the erupting wave of flames swept away everyone inside the giant pile of wood in a short moment.

Even the three melee fighters including Yi Renge who were standing at the gap were pushed forward several steps uncontrollably by the powerful impact force.

"Whats-up!"

"Fuck, what's going on?"

Yi Renge and the others turned around subconsciously, only to see their teammates lying on the ground. Considering the explosion just now, they immediately guessed something, but the current situation was obviously not the time to be surprised.

"Feng Tong, Kaige, you guys take the lead."

The two people whose names were called quickly drank the instant recovery potion, raised their remaining blood volume, stood in front of the gap in the giant wooden pile, and stopped the group of monsters that had already arrived.

Yi Renge quickly took out the precious resurrection scroll from his backpack and used it on the fallen Bing Lan, and then let Bing Lan pull up another priest.

Then he hurried to the front and took over the shield warrior position that was at low health.

While Binglan and another priest pulled up the other teammates, they did not forget to restore health to the front row. The other teammates who were resurrected, including Silently Stranded, did not bother to consider the situation just now and stepped up their output.

The only difference is that Silent Stranding uses the skill of elemental transformation.

Fortunately, the sudden explosion here alerted the other two fire mages at the giant pile of wood next door, and they interrupted the spell that was about to end in time.

Although they suffered backlash and lost a lot of health, it was at least better than the "pseudo-team annihilation" situation on Silently Stranded's side.

After receiving Yi Renge's instructions and adding the BUFF skill that had been chanted long ago to themselves, they chanted the group attack magic spell, just a few seconds later than Silent Abandonment.

But just these few seconds successfully saved them, or the entire team, making them secretly grateful.

The huge pile of wood where Wushengtan and others were located suddenly exploded, which more or less affected the team's rhythm, resulting in a lot of dangerous situations when they were fighting against dozens of monsters.

Fortunately, they had the strength to deal with it, and they managed to resolve all the problems without any danger in the end.

The team now had some free time to relax and discuss the explosion.

"I told you, there must be that effect here." His previous thoughts were only confirmed now, and Silent Stranding felt like a vindication of a wrong. "Maybe it didn't happen before because it only works in random giant piles of wood."

As everyone searched around, they finally exposed the designer's malicious intent.

The huge wooden piles near this last section actually all have this effect.

First, they create random situations in the front to make players think that there are other reasons, and finally they arrange everything at the most critical place, which is enough to show their sinister intentions.

"Captain, what should we do next?"

"Just like before, but use elemental transformation before casting fire spells."

Yi Renge sighed silently, thinking that combining the previous proposal of silent shelving was actually the best method. Although the output was lower than expected, it was still better than the result of an explosion.

There weren't many problems in the following battle.

Although most of the monsters guarding the snake-scale vines were elites, they were able to fight steadily under the protection of the giant wood piles, and finally cleared them out in more than ten minutes.

At the end of the swamp, the surface soil is piled up to form a semicircular cave space.

Snake-scale vines grow deep inside. What's strange is that there is a spring next to it for some reason. It is clear and bright, forming a sharp contrast with the gloomy swamp on the other side, as if the spring has magical powers.

However, everyone was not concerned about this. What they were worried about was the number of snake-scale vines. Fortunately, according to their observations, there was a large patch of snake-scale vines next to the spring, with at least twenty vines, which was enough for them to complete the task.

Picking takes a certain amount of time, so Yiren Ge asked Wusheng Qiqian and other five people to pick the fruits separately.

Originally they thought that the task was easily accomplished here, but they didn't expect that when they just started picking the fruits, they heard the howling of monsters outside.

Yi Renge and others looked outside the cave.

Although the view was not very clear through the fog, one could still vaguely see at least fifty or sixty monsters jumping down into the swamp from the jungle on both sides and gathering towards the cave where everyone was. Among them, one could even see the shadows of several elite monsters.

Large Satyr [Elite]: Level 71, HP: 30000/30000

Swamp Poisonous Lizard [Elite]: Level 73, HP: 32000/32000

Striped Spider【Elite】: Level 73, HP: 30000/30000

Was he attracted by these snake-scale vines? Or did he trigger a beast tide?

Although it is unclear where these monsters came from, it is obvious that a decision needs to be made at this time.

"Wusheng, we'll hold on here, you guys pick the target first."

Yirenge said to Wushengtan, and moved forward with the other five warriors and knights beside him.

The space inside the cave was extremely large, but the surrounding walls were rugged and uneven. They found a relatively narrow position and used the armor on their bodies or the heavy shields in their hands to form an iron-like defense line.

Fortunately, the people picking the fruits were mages, archers, and two thieves, Yi Ran and Moro.

Four priests, including Binglan, quickly blessed and treated the front row that blocked the first wave of attacks from the monsters, their hands moving non-stop.

Wusheng Tanjian and others understood the meaning of Yirenge's instructions. He was simply worried that there would be some unexpected events in the future, so it would be better to get the mission target as soon as possible.

So he quickly quickened his pace.

After half a minute of picking progress, Wushengtan was the first to get a snake-scale vine on his side, but what surprised him was that no task prompt popped up.

He couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously looked at the picked snake scale vine in his hand.

Native snake scale vine.

Type: Material

Description: It is highly toxic. After removing the thorn layer on the surface, it turns into an ordinary snake scale vine and disappears after death.

Negative effect - snake scale venom: The carrier will receive a certain amount of poison damage per second, and the damage gradually increases.

Are there any negative effects?

And what does this removal mean?

If we don't remove it, will we fail to complete the task?

All kinds of doubts arose in Wusheng's mind, but the violent noise coming from behind him made him come back to his senses quickly. He picked up the staff and chanted magic, bombarding the monsters in front of Yi Renge and others.

Anyway, I have already got the snake scale vine, so I might as well deal with the monster in front of me first.

As for the negative effects, it doesn't matter if you ignore them.

Because he just took a glance and only 0.1% of his health was lost in one second. Even if there is the so-called effect of damage increasing over time, with such a low basic value, it is not a big problem at all.

Everyone else, including Yi Yiran, had the same idea as him and focused on dealing with this group of monsters that could pose a greater threat to the team.

But what they never imagined was that the native snake-scale vines they carried on their bodies were the biggest threat.

Chapter 153: A tortuous journey

What happened next was exactly as Yirenge had expected—

The team inadvertently triggered a nearby beast tide. In addition to the initial fifty monsters, more monsters continued to pour in.

Fortunately, with the seamless cooperation of the team, although there were dangers everywhere, the situation was stabilized.

Everyone couldn't help but admire Yirenge's decisiveness and correctness in making the decision.

He did not notice the crisis hidden in the team.
