How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Even if it was solved, no one dared to be careless, because when the Corrupted Dryad Lord fell below half health, he would no longer automatically release a Corruption Wave every 10 minutes when his health decreased by 3% as before.

Fortunately, with Hill's command, the corrupt ripples were interrupted safely in the following few times.

The Fallen Dryad Lord, who was tortured in this way, roared continuously, as if venting his anger, and stomped on the ground hard. At the same time, a gray light appeared on his body again.

And this time, it seems to have actually succeeded.

Even though the control skills were already in reserve and ready to be used when there was a sign, the boss's resilience rarely came into play at the critical moment, blocking all the control skills.

Gray-black ripples instantly spread outward from the location of the Fallen Dryad Lord. The range was so wide that even the back row was affected, and their health dropped by 50% instantly. If it had not been weakened, this would definitely take away most of the health of the squishy heroes.

However, compared to the output professions in the back, the situation in the front row is worse. Although their defense is higher, their position has already determined the danger they need to face at all times.

Especially on the side of Minotaur and Feiyu, the Paladins were unable to take care of themselves, while the Priest was still raising the health of the main tank who was resisting the attack of the BOSS.

With his already low health level, the corruption wave took away about a quarter of his health again. Coupled with the weakening of his armor, facing the joint attack of the summoned tree spirits, flower fairies and vine monsters, his health level was about to drop below the red line.

Just when the two were about to use the precious instant recovery potion to save their lives, a soft light suddenly enveloped their heads. Or rather, not only them, but also the others in the front row, instantly raising the health of everyone.

"Group healing... or something that can clear negative states?"

Dolan noticed that as her health increased, the debuff on her body was also removed. After resisting the attack from the monster in front of her, she couldn't help but cast her gaze towards the tall figure who put down the scepter not far away.

Although group healing is very rare, there are a few priests in their guild who have learned it. However, Dolan has never heard of this skill which can not only heal a group of people but also remove negative status effects.

But what is certain is that a priest with this skill in the early stage will be regarded as a key training target by any guild, no matter how poor his equipment and skills are.

Group healing comes second, and the accompanying group dispel effect can often increase the fault tolerance of the entire team at the critical moment of the dungeon.

What's more, the other party also possesses extremely good command and reaction, and his equipment is of top-notch level. Dolan immediately had a strong desire to recruit him to join the guild.

However, this idea was quickly dispelled. After all, if it was really so easy to recruit, then it would be meaningless if so many guilds offered high prices but received no response.

Although she gave up the idea, it didn't stop Duolan from being curious.

Does this girl still have some hidden cards? How many experts like her are there in this strategy group?

There is also curiosity about the other person.

How did he get in touch with the members of the strategy team? How many secrets does he have? And...

Is this little girl being too lazy this time?

Dolan couldn't help but glance to the other side. After raising her hand and casting a secret word spell, she saw a petite figure who secretly ate a few pieces of cake while no one around was paying attention.

You might as well switch back to being a thief and using stealth to steal food, and with the money you can just buy a few more scrolls to increase your output!

Although Dolan had a strong desire to complain, this did not affect someone's plan to slack off at all, and he even successfully interrupted the BOSS's skills with a silence orb.

The situation went very smoothly afterwards. After getting rid of the minions summoned by the Lord of the Fallen Dryad, everyone gathered together again and launched their attacks on him.

With nearly twice as many control skills, the resilience of the Fallen Dryad Lord is not of much use.

And even if the corruption wave occasionally affects them, it is estimated that they will be cured soon under Hill's group holy healing technique.

As a result, the weakened BOSS was like a passive sandbag under the attacks of everyone. After the corrosion impact that was used as a final move was avoided by everyone, its final fate was naturally announced.

However, as the amount of blood decreased, the Lord of the Fallen Dryad no longer roared as before, but moved more and more slowly, like a dying old man.

After the last bit of blood was taken away, the black bark on the Fallen Dryad's Lord tree began to peel off gradually, and finally it recovered into a huge ancient tree that was no different from a normal one, coiled on the altar.

"Hey, is it done already? Why did it become like this?"

"It feels like it would be easier than the difficult level without the ripple."

"Is this the Abyss-level dungeon? It doesn't seem that difficult."

Everyone put away their weapons and started discussing. It was Wang Haiyou who discovered the problem. "Wait, why hasn't the notification of successful clearance sounded yet?"

Everyone in the team also realized that something was wrong.

"Yeah, why isn't it over yet?"

"Could it be that there is a bug?"

"How is that possible? This is the era."

Their doubts were quickly answered by a sweet voice.

After asking Ivan and Nightwish to help pick up the equipment and items scattered on the ground, I slowly explained, "Because there is a plot next."

This is why simple and normal difficulties are divided into one category, and nightmare and abyss are divided into another category. The difference lies in this point, but it is obvious that there are still many people in the team who don’t know this.

"Why is there still a plot? Isn't this already over?"

"Yes, isn't this Lord of the Fallen Dryad the source of the mutation?"

Everyone was a little surprised, and Dolan next to them also shook her head.

"Of course not. Do you really think the difficulty of the abyss is so simple?"

“If it’s really that simple, why are so many guilds still stuck at the nightmare level and unable to clear it?” Hong Shanhu chuckled and blinked. The teardrop mole at the corner of her eye made this action look particularly charming.

Everyone came to their senses and it seemed to be true after hearing this. Although it was not easy from beginning to end, they also did not feel the so-called difficulty of the abyss level.

"Then what do we do next?"

Before they could ask the questions in their hearts, a cold voice sounded faintly in the team.

"coming."

What's coming?

Everyone was very curious and couldn't help but look in the direction of Hill's gaze.

……

……

Thanks to Tiantianjiang's Yan Di. I will clear the rewards first. Including the accumulated ones, there are a total of 14 chapters for update. There will be at least three chapters for update in the next week.

Chapter 126: Village in the Forest

Everyone looked outside the altar and discovered that a white figure had appeared not far away from the altar and was walking slowly towards them.

When the other party finally walked in and saw the familiar white robe and Yali's face, they recognized her.

"It's the guy I met in the wetlands."

"Mr. Alpha?"

Although they knew that the person who appeared in the hidden path would definitely not be a simple character, they did not expect that the other party would have such a big relationship with the plot.

In connection with what I said before about the new plot, many things suddenly came to my mind, such as the good guy who helped me in the middle was actually the most hidden villain, and the decent character from the beginning to the end suddenly betrayed me. Wang Haiyouyou and the others all looked ready for battle.

Seeing this, I was standing next to them and didn’t quite understand what these guys were thinking.

Fortunately, Alpha did not notice or care about the hostility. He reached out and took off his robe and hat, revealing his still gentle smile.

"We meet again, kind adventurers."

Without waiting for us to react, he looked past the crowd and cast his gaze towards the Lord of the Fallen Tree Spirit who had transformed into an ancient tree in the center of the altar. "But you seem to have encountered some difficulties. It seems that my guess is correct. The key to the problem is not here, but something else."

"Does Mr. Alpha know anything?"

Seeing that a certain little guy didn't move, even a priest in a certain strategy group was too bothersome to take any action, not to mention the other newbies who had never played a nightmare-level dungeon, Dolan held his forehead with his hand and had to step forward to trigger the task language.

Alpha did not answer Dolan's question, but handed a slightly yellowed envelope to Dolan, "Take this letter, it will guide you in the direction of progress, I hope you can get the answer you want."

After saying that, Alpha smiled at everyone and walked towards the depths of the forest on his own. Before leaving, he left behind a puzzling remark.

"Remember, kind adventurers, don't let those brave warriors lose their faith in fighting."

Everyone in the team was very curious when they saw this and gathered around.

"What's written in this?"

"Why didn't he tell us where we were going next? Was there any instructions in the letter?"

“This envelope looks really old.”

Dolan, who had already learned about this plot in the pioneering group, handed the envelope to Wang Haiyouyou who came up to her.

After Wang Haiyouyou took the envelope, he immediately opened it and took out the letter from it. However, to their surprise, the language written on it was not the common language of the mainland, but the Alinga language used by the local people of Gruin.

Fortunately, this language is not very rare. Wang Haiyouyou read it aloud with the help of the system's built-in translation.

Everyone quickly understood the above content.

The writer of the letter is called Meryl. Her relationship with Alpha is probably like that of his follower. She was rescued by Alpha when she was young and followed him on a journey for a period of time before returning to her hometown. She left this letter to Alpha before parting.

The letter recounts some anecdotes and interesting things that happened during the trip, expressing how much the writer cherishes the memories made during this time. The writer is also very grateful for the help given by the other party along the way and for saving his life at the beginning.

At the end of the letter, she also told the other party that if there was anything she could help with, she could be found at the hidden path in the southeast of the Black Prison Forest.

"It sounds like this Alpha isn't a simple person."

"So that's how it is. Is that where we are going to trigger the next plot?"

"Southeast of the Black Prison Forest. The area seems a bit large. Are there no specific coordinates given?"

"There's a dial inside the envelope that seems to indicate the location."

Fortunately, the observant Yi Ji Zhi Chen found something unusual in the envelope next to him and took out a miniature dial with a pointer. The pointer on the dial was pointing to the southeast at this moment, which confirmed his idea.

"Don't you think this letter is more like a love letter?"

"Yes, yes, she looks like a young girl in love. The experience of a man and a woman traveling together alone will surely create intense sparks."

"How romantic! I also want to write a love letter to Mr. Alpha."

"If Alpha was my boyfriend, I would change his clothes into women's clothes every day, hehehe~"

"**..."

Compared with other people, what Wang Haiyouyou and the others care about seems to be somewhat different.

"That girl is pretty."

Dolan and the others who knew the later part of the plot also participated in the discussion. After all, gossip has always been their favorite topic, or it is better to say that this is the nature of girls. When pioneering, the girls of Rose Heart also had a lot of imagination about the contents of the envelope.

Looking at the girls' longing looks, a certain little guy couldn't help but look away, and seemed to be trying hard to hold back a smile, which attracted a curious look from Ivan next to him.

"What's wrong, An An."

"Nothing, I just thought of something happy." I quickly regained my composure so as not to be discovered.

However, in Yiwen's eyes, it looked a little different. "Is it what happened that night?"

"Ouch... I was wrong, I was wrong. I know I was wrong..."

It would be nice to have a cross lock in the game, and it would be even better if it could cause friendly damage.

Following the instructions on the dial inside the envelope, everyone passed through the Black Prison Forest and soon arrived at the so-called hidden path in the forest.

Although it is called a trail, it is actually just like an ordinary small village, hidden in a corner of the Black Prison Forest.

Dozens of wooden houses are scattered on both sides of a wide path. The beautiful fields are dotted with colorful flowers. The sun shines through the sparse woods, exuding a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

If it weren't for the guidance of the plot, players probably wouldn't even realize that there is such a place in the copy.

However, this beautiful and peaceful village, which seemed to be unaffected by the changes in the Black Prison Forest, was now disturbed by the sounds of fierce fighting.

When everyone arrived at the entrance of the village, they found that many mutated monsters they had encountered before were emerging from the forest and were fighting with the militia and villagers in the village.

It was obvious that these people lacked the necessary equipment and combat skills, and were unilaterally forced into a passive and disadvantageous position under the monsters' attack. They could only rely on makeshift wooden fences for defense, but even so, it seemed that they would not be able to hold out for long.

Seeing this, without further explanation, everyone immediately joined them to help defend.

The link here is similar to the minions summoned by the Lord of the Fallen Dryad, except that there are more of them.

However, relying on the defense of the wooden fence and the assistance of other militiamen, under Hill's command, although it took a lot of time, it was resolved relatively easily. Some of the monsters turned into ashes and merged into the land, while others were driven back into the forest.

"we won."

"Won!"

"Finally we beat back these damn guys."

All the militiamen and villagers cheered. The atmosphere of victory unconsciously infected everyone, as if they were also a member of this village, and their hearts were filled with joy.

After repelling the monster, under the command of a middle-aged man who looked like a squad leader of the militia, the militiamen and villagers sent the injured to the pharmacist or church in the village. After giving all the instructions, the other party walked towards the entire team.

"Thank you very much for your help, respected adventurers." The middle-aged man looked sincere. After all, in such a dangerous situation, without the help of the team, their defense line would undoubtedly be lost, which would then cause serious damage to the village.

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."
