How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Half believing and half doubting, I called Ahri to take a look at the spoils.

There are indeed two magma-patterned stones sandwiched between some equipment materials.

If you have money but don't make it, you are a fool.

Although these 400 gold coins are nothing to me.

After the transaction was completed, both sides were no longer as wary as they were at the beginning.

After Black King Caesar threw the collected lava stone to a guild member next to him, he thought for a moment and asked Shuiyan, "How is Qiangwei doing recently?"

Shisha was silent for a moment, then seeing that the concern in Black King Caesar's eyes did not seem fake, she nodded hesitantly.

"The president is busy with the guild dungeon."

In more than a month, the Rose Heart has also progressed the guild copy to the final stage. Once completed, it will become a permanent copy, and the equipment produced in it will be able to improve the strength of the elite members.

"Oh, well, if she has any difficulties, you can ask her to come to me. A girl will get tired if she tries to hold on." Black King Caesar sighed, glanced at the Fiery Snake Dragon next to the water pipe, thought about it and didn't ask too many questions.

But just because he has no questions to ask doesn't mean that others don't have any questions.

Qiu Li put away his staff and cast a curious glance. "The president of Baofeng brought so many elites here. It must not be as simple as helping the members complete a mission, right?"

I followed beside him and echoed, "Uncle, you don't have that much free time, do you?"

Being called uncle again, Black King Caesar felt a little depressed.

Although he was not going to bother with a child, it was always a good thing to ask for some money.

He reached out and rubbed the cute little head in front of him, which attracted envious looks from some girls in the team. He found that the touch seemed surprisingly good, "We are here for the ruins."

"Someone posted a paid post on the forum this morning, saying that a mine leading to the underground was found deep in the Red Cloud Canyon ahead."

"There are many powerful monsters guarding it, and there may be an ancient relic hidden inside."

"I happened to be in this area with two regiments. I am the first group to arrive. There are many more behind me... Oh, speak of the devil."

Before Black King Caesar finished his words, a faint noise was heard from the outskirts of the forest, and it soon came from far away.

Everyone looked back and saw hundreds of players entering their field of vision in groups of three or five. After seeing the Storm players in front of them, they were stunned and immediately passed by and rushed away.

It was the same here, and there were also noisy sounds coming from the nearby forests on both sides.

Apparently, there are more than just these few people entering the Dragon's Breath Forest.

It seemed that all of a sudden, the Dragon's Breath Forest, which players originally dared not enter easily, became a bustling market.

These newly arrived players were clearly divided into combat teams, and they all headed towards the Red Cloud Canyon.

Seeing this, Black King Caesar did not stay long. After rubbing my head vigorously, he led the Storm team to catch up with the player team in front, with my rolling eyes.

"It's a good thing I didn't make a deal with that Hem."

Looking behind, more and more player teams appeared in the forest, all of them were heading to the Red Cloud Canyon.

I can't help but sigh with emotion.

The ancient ruins mentioned by Black King Caesar should be the news mentioned by Hem. Now it is known to everyone and has no value at all.

Sister Qiu Li shook her head and reminded, "The order is wrong. Maybe we didn't agree, so Hem spread the news."

"But will it do him any good?"

"Perhaps it is to disrupt us. The direction pointed by this memory crystal seems to be the Red Cloud Canyon."

Qiu Li speculated, reaching out and pinching my cheek.

Just seeing Shisha's jealous expression, Qiu Li generously made an invitation gesture.

So the two girls inexplicably reached an agreement on a common interest.

...So why did we reach a consensus in such a strange place? Hey, please respect my opinion!

Compared with the status of her master, Ahri has established herself as the boss among the three pets. She howls in an arrogant manner, and the Thunder White Tiger and the Fiery Snake Dragon in front of her listen obediently like little brothers.

Since the memory crystal has pointed out the direction, we simply mixed in with this large group of players and followed the team into the Red Cloud Canyon.

The Hongyun Canyon runs through the entire Dragon Breath Forest from northwest to southeast, stretching for hundreds of kilometers. The canyon is hundreds of meters deep and several kilometers wide.

The turbulent river rushed through the canyon, and the fierce water flow constantly hit the two sides of the canyon. The loud noise could be heard clearly several kilometers away.

The most peculiar thing is that there are pieces of red and white fog floating in the canyon. Sometimes they are stirred by the air currents and roll violently. The colors are even deeper and brighter, as if they are burning clouds. The canyon probably got its name from this.

Chapter 55 Canyon Basin

The roads in the forest are difficult to navigate, and monsters pop up from time to time to attack.

The magma monster that we encountered before also appeared.

But tens of thousands of players swept past like locusts, and the monsters that dared to block the way were often blasted to pieces as soon as they appeared. The dropped spoils attracted a scramble and the scene was a bit chaotic.

But thanks to this, we didn't encounter many obstacles along the way, and the appearance of this group of players helped us by coincidence.

We followed the main group all the way southeast, walking along the edge of the Red Cloud Canyon towards the upstream of the river.

During the period, we looked at the memory crystal several times. The direction indicated by the pointer on it was exactly the same as the direction we were heading. It confirmed the team's guess, so we felt relieved and followed it.

After about an hour of trekking, we could no longer go forward.

At the upstream mouth of Hongyun Canyon, it seems that a large piece of it was eaten away by an unknown giant beast, leaving a basin with an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers, surrounded by forests and mountains on three sides.

The views of Dragon's Breath Forest and Red Cloud Canyon are magnificent.

But the existence of this basin seems to be a stain. There is no greenery in the basin. The charred land is covered with countless naturally formed giant volcanic cones.

These volcanic cones vary in size and look like black and gray forests from a distance, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding green mountains and forests.

Like a scar on the earth, desolate and ugly.

The tops of some volcanic cones are still spewing dust and magma. The magma is flowing freely on the ground, cutting the ground to form messy roads, and eventually forming a magma river that flows into the river in the west.

But no matter how bad the environment is, players will naturally not give up when faced with the ancient ruins that may appear ahead.

So we followed the thousands of players in the middle and went down into the basin.

System: You discovered a magma basin.

I have never heard of this place in my previous life. It seems to be as dangerous as described in the Dragon's Breath Forest.

Although the terrain of the lava basin is not particularly complex, the harsh environment is rare.

As soon as we entered the basin, we were hit by a raging heat wave, and the air was filled with volcanic ash and the smell of sulfur. Our feet sank a little when we stepped on the rough and uneven black ash soil, and we could feel the temperature of the ground even from the soles of our boots.

And it was exactly the same situation as before when they entered the lava cave.

As soon as you step into the basin, you will be affected by the negative effect of [high temperature environment]. If you do not meet certain fire resistance requirements, you will lose blood volume of a percentage of your maximum health value every second.

Fortunately, we were not unprepared. After using the advanced fire resistance potion, this annoying negative effect disappeared immediately.

Most other players don't have the luxury of using high-level potions at will, but after using up the intermediate-level potions and the blessing cast by the priest, they don't have to worry.

Even so, the players who were shouting and excited in the forest just now mostly fell silent here.

Because they could see the danger of this journey from the harsh environment of the basin, they carefully avoided the lava flows on the ground and headed towards the depths of the basin.

No one dared to crowd together and rushed forward. The stretching team stretched for hundreds of meters. Their destination was the highest volcanic cone deep in the basin, which was where the passage to the ancient ruins was found in the toll post.

If you think that the only threats are the negative effects of the environment and the magma that can be found everywhere, you are wrong.

In addition to the harsh environment, there are other greater crises lurking in the magma basin.

Although at first glance there are no living creatures on the ground or between the volcanic cones, some monsters, like the magma monster, are good at hiding in the corners of the environment.

Just as a team of players in front was about to cross a lava flow and jump to the other side.

whoosh-

Several figures suddenly emerged from under the magma, opened their huge, devouring mouths, and bit several players in the team.

The player who was attacked was dragged into the rolling lava before he could react. Along with screams, the flowing lava began to boil and flames splashed everywhere.

At this time, the players behind could see clearly that the one who launched the sneak attack was the Rafflesia lurking in the lava flow.

Magma Rafflesia: Level 85, HP: 20000/20000

Mutated Magma Rafflesia [Elite]: Level 85, HP: 35000/35000

It is hard to imagine how plants can survive in boiling magma. Perhaps the fiery red scales on their surface can explain it, but now is not the time to focus on these.

Those players who were dragged into the magma, after being bitten and damaged by the magma, suddenly turned into white light and died.

The players at the back finally reacted. A dozen warriors rushed up with shields in hand and started hacking at them. The mages and archers also immediately raised their scepters and longbows.

Although these dozen or so Rafflesias had strong health and defense, they were unable to withstand the large number of players and were killed one after another.

Nearly tens of thousands of players have arrived at the basin one after another.

There is strength in numbers, so this little accident certainly won't make the players who witnessed it feel scared.

Many people are still secretly laughing at those unlucky players. This is the human psychology. When you see others in trouble, you will always feel happy about it, let alone your competitors.

But soon these people couldn't laugh anymore.

The emergence of these Rafflesia flowers seemed to have lit a fuse. The basin, which had seemed relatively peaceful and free of monsters, suddenly became restless. The lava flows on the ground twisted as if they had come alive.

Thousands of Rafflesias suddenly emerged from the lava on both sides of the route the players' team was passing, opened their huge, man-eating mouths, and began to attack the players frantically.

In addition to the Rafflesia flower, there are many other types of volcanic monsters.

There are fire pythons, magma monsters, volcano beasts, etc., from ordinary monsters to bosses, and even the shadow of the leader appears.

The scene was extremely horrifying for a moment!

In this sudden monster siege, the performances of each player group were completely different.

Some experienced combat teams quickly gathered together and began to fight back, while some players in the front positions simply chose to speed up their pace and try to enter the passage first, while those who fell behind retreated and fought back.

The originally long dragon-like team of players was immediately cut into more than a dozen sections by these monsters.

Our position was in the front middle, but we were not very lucky as we were surrounded by groups of monsters.

A team of players next to them was completely killed in the initial monster attack, and the other two teams ran away when they saw the situation was not good.

There were at least two hundred monsters around, including a leader-level Rafflesia.

It's not just Sister Qiu Li and Sister Shuiyan, even I feel a little overwhelmed.

But just when he was about to ask Ahri to use Foxfire to help out, a team of players suddenly rushed in from the side.

Chapter 56: Cooperation

The sharp sword light cut down more than a dozen volcanic monsters.

With the coordination of the warrior beside him, as well as the attacks of the mage and archer behind him, a conspicuous opening was immediately torn in the group of monsters.

Just after rushing in and seeing the figures in the center of the monster group.

Black King Caesar was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "What a coincidence, we meet here again, does this count as a hero saving a beautiful woman? Do you owe me a favor?"

"Stop it, uncle. You didn't come here just to save the situation. You must have come here to target this leader."

Although I was equally surprised, I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I heard that.

The Black King Caesar was not embarrassed after being exposed. He smiled and invited, "Do you want to cooperate to get rid of this big guy?"

It is impossible to refuse someone's help.

Although Rose Heart and Storm have a history, Shuiyan is not stupid enough to care about such things now. After disbanding the team, the three of us accepted the invitation of Black King Caesar and joined the Storm team together.

We accepted it naturally.

The Storm members on the other side were a little surprised. In their impression, the president had rarely been so generous in sharing prey with others.

But soon, they understood why the president valued these three people so much.

The girl named Shuiyan is fine. She is ranked in the top three in the Empire's profession and is also the chief shield warrior of Rose Heart. Naturally, her strength is not weak. She was even actively appointed as the main tank by the Black King Caesar.

Of course, this is also because the Black King Caesar did not bring the strongest shield warrior in the guild, Mu Ye, who is also the best in the empire.

The strength displayed by another girl named Yili Qingqiu is no less than that of Shuiyan. She has truly brought the ability of the arcane profession to its extreme.

Through the coordination of spell slots and special skills, she was able to rank among the top ten in the damage ranking among many mages, and even among more than a dozen mages at the top of the guild.

This is particularly difficult for Austrian mages who excel in flexible combat.
