Volume 3 Chapter 52 The Battle of Boshi is over
As Shi Leiyin expected, after discovering that the attack intensity of the tentacle monster had increased, Emaar no longer chose to wait and see, but joined the battle himself. With the help of the two remaining siege crossbows and ten squad leaders, Amaar began to move, consciously or unconsciously, in the direction of what he believed to be the core of the monster.
Because it is unclear whether the tentacle monster has enough intelligence to discover his intentions, Emaar controls his attack power at level ten, which is in line with the strength of the team leaders. This way, even if this monster is smart enough to discern the threat, it will not be overly defensive of itself.
Shi Leiyin's doppelganger can only act according to the basic instructions given by Shi Leiyin and some instincts, and when Shi Leiyin is watching, he can only control the tentacles to defend when the essence is indeed attacked. This exposes a great shortcoming - when Emaar deliberately flew past the location of the essence several times, the clone did not control the tentacles to defend, and the most recent time Emaar was even only a palm away from the location of the essence point, and this distance could break through the body of the doppelganger and take out the essence with a wave of his hand.
Although Amaar held back this time, Shi Leiyin had already confirmed that this commander would definitely be able to get the reward this time. The only suspense is how much his team will pay for it. In Shi Leiyin's design, he forgot to add a fatal point to the clone. This means that even if that part of the essence is taken away, the clone will still live well, but it will enter the third or even fourth stage of intensity because of the extraction of the essence. After all, in addition to being used as a reward, that part of the essence also maintains the energy supply of the clone, and after being taken away, the clone will have a high chance of entering the third stage. Of course, Shi Leiyin didn't take into account the fact that the essence would be taken away before the clone was killed, and in his design, the doppelganger would need to receive an attack of a certain strength or more to reduce the recovery speed, and at this time, it would also cut off the energy supply of the essence to the clone. The doppelganger will quickly move from the third stage to the fourth stage of intensity. If the energy supply is cut off in the second stage, what will happen to the clone, Shi Leiyin is actually very curious.
Soon, Emaar let Shi Leiyin see the results. After passing by the essence twice in a row, Emaar confirmed that the monster's intelligence was still basically in an instinctive state. Seeing that the crossbow arrows of the siege crossbow were about to run out, Emaar did not stay strong, and when he approached the essence point again, the strength of the twelfth level exploded with all his strength, and the basic skill of the swordsman, the fierce attack, exploded on Shi Leiyin's body, shattering the flesh that covered the essence part together with the two tentacles that felt the murderous qi to defend together.
The sapphire-like color of the shattered flesh immediately made Emaar confirm that he had found the right place for this action, and with the sword stretched out, the fist-sized piece of blue essence was removed by Emaar along with the surrounding circle of flesh. Stuffing the essence into his arms, Emaar didn't care about the squad leaders who were surprised by his actions, kicked the newly arrived tentacles with both feet, and swept directly into the distance, until he ran past the siege crossbow and shouted without looking back: All retreat.
But it was too late at this time, and it only took a second for the clone who had lost the energy supplied by the essence to enter the third stage of intensity, and if Emaar looked back, he would find that a series of ground thorns appeared almost against his heels. Emaar crossed the battering crossbow with his front foot, and the ground thorn with his back foot tied the battering crossbow into garbage, and by the way, the soldiers who were responsible for manipulating the siege crossbow were tied into meat skewers - the power of the ground thorn in the third stage has risen to level ten, and ordinary soldiers are not only unable to avoid it, but also unable to defend it at all.
While the first to be unlucky were the soldiers who took control of the siege crossbows, the other soldiers were almost killed. Although they were not attacked by the ground thorns, the attack power and speed of the tentacles had increased by a level, which already made it impossible for ordinary soldiers to rely on numbers to make up for the disadvantage, not to mention that the number of tentacles had increased again. In just a few seconds, most of the soldiers were seriously injured by the attack of the tentacles - although Shi Leiyin did not limit his clone to kill, but it seems that as the instinct of the slime, the clone will not attack the object that has lost its combat effectiveness, and those soldiers who did not die in the first place after being attacked did not receive a second blow. The more unlucky ones were the stronger captains and deputy squad leaders, because they were surprised by their leader's behavior, and almost all of them had a trace of flaws. However, because they are strong enough, even if there is a flaw in their defense, they can barely reduce the damage and keep themselves moving. As a result, the tentacles who had knocked down ordinary soldiers also joined the ranks of besieging them, and in an instant, it became a situation where each person had to deal with nearly ten tentacles of the same level. Under such a disadvantage, even if Shi Leiyin's clone had a spare hand, ten times the damage would be enough to make them fatal.
However, these captains and deputy squad leaders only died a little earlier than ordinary soldiers, and when Emaar stepped out of the attack range of the clone, the attack intensity of the clone entered the fourth stage. The ground spikes launched by the doppelgangers who entered the berserk state were not selective at all, and except for a few soldiers who were particularly lucky, all the soldiers within the range of the ground spurs, regardless of whether they were lightly or seriously injured, were killed.
"This is the clone you use as the layer master? It seems to look good, are you interested in promoting the whole labyrinth?" At some point, Ku appeared next to Shi Leiyin, and when he saw Shi Leiyin's clone waving a large number of tentacles, Ku said thoughtfully.
"There are still too many shortcomings, and more improvements need to be made" Shi Leiyin was not surprised by the appearance of Ku, and when he felt the magic fluctuations behind him, Shi Leiyin knew that it was the maze housekeeper who came.
"The reward position is too obvious and easy to spot. The defense is too low, let alone level thirteen, not even the level of a level ten monster. The attack mode also needs to be improved, and when the total number of tentacles is constant, it is completely possible for people to destroy all the tentacles at a low intensity, and then only the ground thorn can be used. In addition, without the supply of essence energy, the duration is too short, and it will not achieve the effect of elimination" Shi Leiyin looked at the clone that stopped moving and returned to the sphere state in less than ten seconds after entering the fourth stage, and reported the observed shortcomings one by one, and I didn't know whether to tell Ku or to myself.
"However, it's enough to put it on the fifth layer, you can do a few more, and then put the different degrees of enhancement on the back layers, so that I can save the trouble of finding other layer masters" Ku completely ignored Shi Leiyin's words, with her strength, she could naturally see that Shi Leiyin's doppelganger had actually only reached the level of an eleventh-level monster, but Shi Leiyin himself was only a seventeenth-level slime, which made the doppelganger look like a fifteenth-level monster. At the same time, Ku also knew that if Shi Leiyin wanted to, it would not be difficult to make a fifteenth-level clone, and even the same seventeenth-level clone, it was estimated that this special slime could also get it.
