How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

This is obviously very different from the initial statement about discovering the hidden path.

The only explanation is probably that the little guy lied.

"How many secrets does this girl have?"

Duolan narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the petite figure chatting with Alpha not far away. "Tsk, it's hard not to be curious."

But what Dolan didn't realize was that Qiuse Rushui and Yeyuan in the team also gave her the same meaningful look.

"Thank you, kind adventurers." Alpha looked very happy after receiving the fog lights.

I skillfully used the mission language to answer the other party's question, "Don't be so polite, Mr. Alpha. We have already passed the Shadow Swamp. It would be great if we could help you."

"All kindness deserves to be rewarded, and I think you will need this." Alpha smiled slightly, handed a small bottle of gray liquid to me, left a meaningful word, and then left in the direction we came from.

"Don't let those beautiful things gather dust, brave adventurers."

Secret Holy Water: It seems to be able to purify contaminated objects and copy items, and disappears after leaving the copy.

"what is this?"

Everyone came over curiously and looked at the small bottle of item in my hand called Secret Holy Water.

After thinking for a moment, I asked Lost Sunny Sky next to me for the cross that the investigation team leader Sean gave us, and poured the secret holy water on it.

The black rust on the originally dull cross was completely removed after the gray liquid flowed over it, revealing its original golden glow.

Secret Cross

Level requirements: none

Attributes: Defense +30, Strength +10, Toughness +10, Health +150, the carrier's healing effect is increased by 10%, and when combined with the secret magic circle, the ability of the Lord of the Fallen Dryad is weakened.

Limited use: Only available in the Black Prison Forest dungeon

Compared with the original ones, the added attributes and effects have not changed at all, but there is an extra line of description.

Seeing such a description, everyone was a little surprised.

"Hey, can this still weaken the boss's strength?"

"Wouldn't that make it easier to pass the level?"

"This secret magic circle..." Hong Shanhu, who had followed the pioneering team to clear the difficult level dungeon, saw the words in the middle of the description and remembered something, "Is it the magic circle in the dryad territory?"

"It's very likely." Dolan nodded.

Many guilds have studied for a long time but have not been able to figure out the function of the magic circle in the center of the Dryad's territory. Unexpectedly, it was actually related to the hidden mission here. Even she did not expect this.

After completing the hidden plot here, the team retreated from the original path. Not long after leaving the Shadow Swamp, they met up with Sean and others who had collected other materials.

After accepting the corrosive vines, Sean thanked us again and again, pointed out the direction of the Lord of the Fallen Dryad, and reminded us to be careful before leaving with the other tired team members.

As the team moved forward again, the surrounding vegetation gradually became gray and lifeless. Most of the trees were rotten and dilapidated, and it was no longer as vibrant as it was at the entrance of the forest.

After encountering several waves of monsters in succession, the group finally went deeper into the heart of the forest and approached the so-called dryad territory.

At this point, the finale of the copy has begun.

"Finally here."

"That's the final boss, right?"

Walking through the sparse bushes and seeing the Lord of the Dryads in the distance, everyone seemed particularly excited. After all, as long as they defeated this monster, it would mean that they had passed the difficult level of the Black Prison Forest and surpassed most teams.

The Lord of the Dryads is a dark tree covered with black bark. Although it looks very scary, it seems a little strange in the eyes of everyone.

Because the size of this so-called BOSS was not much bigger than the tree spirits they had encountered along the way, it seemed a bit inconsistent with its title and identity as the final BOSS.

After Dolan and Hong Shanhu explained, everyone finally understood the reason.

……

……

Tsk, I miscalculated. All the pictures from yesterday are down. I modified them in the middle of the night. I should be able to see new ones in a day or two.

Today is still three updates, and it will be on the shelves tomorrow. I hope everyone will support it~

Chapter 105: The Boss of the Tree Spirit Territory

After Dolan and Hong Shanhu’s explanations, everyone finally understood what was going on.

The Lord of the Fallen Dryad has the skill to devour the trees around itself to restore a certain amount of health. This skill is released every time its health is reduced by a certain amount. Every time it devours a tree, its size will increase, and the range of its attack will increase as well. This is a very troublesome skill.

"The last time we fought to the end, it was almost as big as a small building."

Dolan gave a rough description, and everyone could almost imagine what the scene looked like.

Thinking about the monster of that size they would be facing, most of the people in the team who had never advanced here became a little uneasy and nervous.

"It doesn't matter. Don't we still have the cross?" Mu Shui thought of the cross that had regained its glory before.

"But how do I use this?" I took the cross out of my backpack and asked a crucial question.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned. They seemed to have never considered this problem. After all, it only said that the strength of the BOSS could be weakened, but the specific method of weakening was not mentioned at all.

Although there is indeed a magic circle in the Dryad Territory, located in front of the left side of the sleeping Fallen Dryad Lord and surrounded by six unknown totem poles, it is not a magic circle but looks more like an altar of medium size.

"Should we place this cross on top of the magic circle?"

“It’s not certain where to put it.”

"In the middle. This kind of situation is usually in the middle."

"What should I do if it's not there? Without this, the main tank's tankiness will drop significantly."

Everyone in the team started discussing, but they were just some self-inferences without any basis, and no conclusion was reached in the end.

Finally, I gave a more reliable suggestion, "If that's the case, then let's just not consider this, otherwise it would be a waste of time and effort in the end."

"Well...compared to the unclear ones, it is better to choose a more certain method." Lost Sunny Day echoed from the side.

Yi Ji Zhi Chen beside him nodded and spoke from a more rational perspective, "Besides, it is not specified how much this item has been weakened. It is indeed the most reliable method to keep the cross now."

It is indeed a pity that the props obtained after completing the hidden mission are not really put to use. Although it is a pity, for the overall consideration of the team, it seems that this method is the only one available.

"Well, maybe we can find a way to use it in battle." I reminded him with a smile.

Seeing that there was still some hope, the people who were originally hesitant nodded and agreed with my suggestion.

But they don't know what I really think.

When the fight starts, there will be no time to think about other things, I smiled to myself.

What I didn't know was that there were several people secretly observing me from behind.

Seeing that sly smirk, Duolan, Qiu Se Ru Shui and Ye Yuan in the team showed a look of "as expected", "This little guy (teacher) must know how to use the cross."

Although they were not sure why the other party knew how to use the cross to weaken the BOSS but did not do so, they did not intend to ask directly.

After all, judging from previous actions, the other party never does unnecessary things and has probably already considered how to deal with this BOSS.

"Then naturally, Sister Shuiyan, you will be the main tank. You have the highest defense. With this cross, you can withstand several attacks from the boss. The other warriors and paladins will assist. The paladins' healers will try to take care of the front row. Stand by on the east side of the magic circle (701, 5112)."

I handed the cross to Shisha, "The rest of the back row, go to (650, 5007) and wait for my order before attacking. Sister Yeyuan, follow me."

"What are we going to do, teacher?" Yeyuan followed me, wondering what I was planning.

"Lure the monsters." I turned around and blinked, "And by the way, let Sister Yeyuan practice in actual combat."

"Actual combat... practice?" Yeyuan paused, unable to react.

But this did not have any effect, because my next action completely reminded the other party of the meaning of his words.

The approach of the team gradually awakened the sleeping Lord of the Fallen Dryad, and it was only then that everyone could clearly see the other party's name and health bar.

Lord of the Fallen Dryad [Boss]: Level 10, HP 8000/8000.

The boss BOSS in the dungeon has been weakened compared to the normal boss. Otherwise, due to the limit on the number of people in the dungeon, the normal dungeon team cannot face the boss-level monster head-on.

Even so, except for Dolan and others who have already cleared the level, the thick health bar of the Dryad Lord still makes everyone stunned.

But what surprised them even more was the next move of the figure not far away.

There aren't many obstructions on the terrain, and apart from the warrior's charge, the only one who can best take advantage of agility is the thief.

I approached the Lord of the Fallen Dryad at an extremely fast speed, within about 30 yards. After completely attracting her attention, I shouted to Nightwish not far away, "Sister Nightwish, turn back to the direction of the altar."

"Damn...bugs..."

The Lord of the Fallen Dryad, who was awakened, was immediately attracted by the "bug" that appeared in front of him. With a heart full of anger, he used his vines to wrap around a nearby tree that was several times larger than himself and smashed it at the bug.

"Be careful." Before Ye Yuan could warn him, he saw the other party suddenly slow down, and then lightly jumped over the tree that fell in front of him. The whole set of actions did not have much pause, which was pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that his attack did not work, the roots of the Fallen Dryad Lord emerged from the ground, and with a rumbling sound, he took huge steps to chase after it, waving his thick vines.

Yeyuan looked at the petite figure with horror in his eyes. He dodged the swift attack of the Lord of the Fallen Dryad with extremely agile skills. He rolled, jumped, turned sideways, accelerated in curves, and stopped suddenly. These were obviously just some basic movements, but he used them to the fullest extent.

She couldn't help but imagine what the result would be if she put herself in the teacher's position, but it seemed that the only result would be blatant failure.

"So strong."

Although she felt a little frustrated, this seemed to prove that there were many things she could learn from the teacher. Ye Yuan's eyes flickered, and she finally understood the meaning of the practical training the teacher had mentioned before.

Because at this moment, a thorny vine swept towards her.

The Lord of the Fallen Dryad who was chasing me, when he saw a tiny "bug" suddenly appear in his sight, he attacked without hesitation.

Although not as fast as me, Nightwish relied on his years of gaming experience to successfully roll over and avoid the attack of the vines. He followed behind me and led the monster towards the altar.

Under my deliberate guidance, the Lord of the Fallen Dryad's attention was mostly focused on me, and only a small number of attacks would fall on Nightwish. These attacks became the key to training his body movements and reaction speed.

Seeing that his movements were a little clumsy, but he was still able to keep up with my speed, I couldn't help but think highly of his talent. "No wonder he became a thief who created divine skills in his previous life."

But no matter what, training is just a side job. My real goal is to attract the BOSS to the altar.

And now, my mission is about to end.

After avoiding the huge totem pole in front of me and stepping on the ground with complex patterns of magic array, I immediately gave orders to the team.

"Sister Shisha charges towards the 12 o'clock direction, and the others will follow. The Paladin will focus the treatment on Sister Shisha, and coordinate defense after getting close."

Shuiyan and others who were not far from the altar could naturally see clearly the scene where their little captain nimbly dodged the attack of the BOSS. Such smooth movements naturally stunned them, and they only reacted after I gave the order.

As the main tank of the Rose Heart pioneering team, Shuiyan was naturally the one who reacted the fastest. As soon as I uttered the first half of my sentence, she had already raised the giant shield in her hand and charged towards the direction I mentioned.

At the same time, the Lord of the Fallen Dryad was chasing me, passing through the center of the two totem poles and stepping into the altar.

Although the atmosphere here made it feel a little uneasy, the Lord of the Fallen Dryad still wanted to completely eliminate the guys who disturbed its sleep, just like the group of little ants not long ago.

But just when it was about to attack me and Nightwish again, it happened to collide head-on with the charging Shisha.

Remembering what I said, the moment she collided with the heavy body of the Fallen Dryad Lord, Shiyan had already shifted her center of gravity backwards, quickly stabilized her body, and struck out with her shield.

-31, -34

The Lord of the Fallen Dryad in the difficult-level dungeon naturally has extremely high defense. Even if the hookah's equipment can be said to be far ahead of the same level, it can only cause such a small amount of damage.

When other warriors and paladins arrived and there were signs that the hatred she had attracted was being diverted, Shisha activated her taunt skill and endured the attacks from the Fallen Dryad Lord who might be inclined towards Minotaur and others.

Although it is just a small detail, it is enough to show Shiyan's level as the main tank of the pioneering team.

Under the interception of many warriors and paladins in front, the hatred of the Lord of the Fallen Dryad was quickly attracted by them. The scene was like an idol at an autograph session being surrounded by a group of fanatical fans.

I quickly shook my head, shaking off other thoughts, "The back row can now go all out."

The others did not hesitate and chanted spells one after another. The archers drew their bowstrings, the warlocks prepared various DEBUFFs, and the mages activated their magic enhancements and released their most powerful skills.

Duolan frowned a little.

Shouldn't the output frequency be controlled at this time?

When the health of the Dryad Lord drops to a certain percentage, it will automatically cast the skill of devouring trees, and after the health is less than half, it will summon other monsters to assist in the battle at regular intervals.

Therefore, all guilds' pioneering teams will choose to adjust the output frequency, leaving powerful skills to control the BOSS's health bar, and try to avoid the situation where the summoned monsters are not killed immediately, thereby affecting the back row of the team, or the attack range is increased after swallowing trees to kill the front row instantly.

Duolan thought about it but didn't say it out loud, because she felt that the other party might have his own plans.

However, what Dolan never expected was that in the following period of time she would begin to deeply doubt her own idea.

Chapter 106 This is a math problem

Countless magic spells fell from the sky and landed on the thick skin of the Fallen Dryad Lord. Damage numbers appeared above his head. The lowest was only more than twenty points, and the highest was only more than fifty points. They were all caused by fire mages such as Wang Haiyouyou.
