Chapter 30: The Law of Skill
Mane's death was not a big deal, but it was a wake-up call to the other players who were planning to enter the Valley of the Dead, and realized that even with the 'Torch to Dispel the Miasma' item, the churning purple mist was still not as harmless as it seemed.
Even on the edges, there are monsters that can kill players of their level in seconds.
In fact, not only the players, but even Xiwei, who was watching the live broadcast in the divine realm, was taken aback.
He immediately used the power of faith to open the Eye and looked at the place where Manny had died.
The Valley of the Dead was once the battlefield of the God's War, and many places were left with barriers or divine turbulence that were difficult for abilities such as the Vision to penetrate.
This is one of the main reasons why Sivi sends players into it to explore, rather than directly going down to the earth to recover it themselves.
Thankfully, there wasn't anything like that at the edge where the players were now, and Sivi's Vision easily saw through the fog and saw the monster hiding in the miasma of death.
It was a monster called the 'Dead King Spider', which looked like a giant spider made of bones, and they were actually not much different from the low-level monster 'Forest Spider' when they were born, but as they grew up, this spider would look for the bones of creatures everywhere, and arm themselves with spider silk glued to their bodies, and even the most vulnerable abdomen would be strengthened by gluing the skulls of giants or giant monsters.
They are surprisingly strong, and even though they carry bones that weigh several times their own, they are still very fast; Relatively speaking, it also eats a lot of food, and needs to consume at least two-thirds of its body weight every day, and the individual has a very high sense of territory, and has a very fierce personality, and will take the initiative to attack intruders larger than its own size, in addition to sharp claws, the stinger on the chelicerae also carries quite a violent toxin.
The previous Manie was caught off guard and was pierced by the opponent's chelicera, and it turned into a puddle of pus not long after he died!
In the monster illustrated book compiled and recorded by the Continental Adventurers Association, this monster belongs to the 'high danger' level, and the recommended crusade conditions are for a team of more than 30 senior adventurers to work together to defeat it.
"It turns out that the Valley of the Dead is not full of undead......" Sivi touched his chin with his tentacle, realizing that he seemed to have made another empirical mistake.
However, this kind of small mistake is not harmful to Sivi - except for Mane, who was killed and had no way to recover the body, it is estimated that he will have to be downgraded again.
In this case, if the players plan to continue to take turns into the fog according to the initial plan, it will be equivalent to the gourd baby saving the grandfather, which can only be regarded as giving away the heads one by one.
If you want to help, it's very simple, Sivi doesn't even need to do it himself, just make a picture book of the Dead King Spider's information and send it to the players as a hint. I believe that players who have received sufficient information will definitely be able to come up with a way to attack the strategy.
But he wasn't going to help.
After all, this is the first time that players have taken the initiative to open up the wasteland, and many times the first experience is an important beginning to form a 'habit'.
Maybe Sivi can help them once or twice, but there are many things in this world that are difficult for Sivi to interfere with, if the players become dependent on Sivi's help, when Sivi can't help in the future, then they who have developed the habit of getting information from the gods in everything may have to be blinded, and it will also reduce the players' belief in Sivi.
Players can't die anyway, so it's better to let them go through the experience.
"Come on, don't live up to my expectations...... so Xiwei, who decided to stand by and watch, could only continue to stay in the Kingdom of God and watch the live broadcast.
Fortunately, Edward and the others were not stupid, and after Manie was killed in seconds, they understood that there must be some monsters in the fog.
So they simply stood outside the fog where Manie was killed in an instant, and beckoned the other players to use a long-range strike skill in the fog.
Generally, the damage of players who are already level seven or eight is quite considerable for ordinary monsters.
After the Dead King Spider was crackled by a mess of sword qi arrows and other chaotic skills, it retreated deeper into the mist of the Valley of the Dead.
At the same time, the four players who were the pioneers of the reclamation also entered the mist and saw Mani, who had turned into pus.
After a few seconds of silence in silence for their companions, they continued on their way.
Interestingly, when you look inside from the outside of the Death Miasma, you can only see a purple mist like a wall, and you can barely see anything inside.
But after walking inside with a torch, the fog that permeated everywhere was much thinner, giving people the feeling that it was more like adding a layer of lilac filter, and there was no problem at a glance for more than ten meters.
So the four of them followed the traces left by the dead king spider, chased all the way, and found the huge spider that was digging a pit on the ground not far away!
The moment they saw the blood bar on the opponent's head, the players did not hesitate to make a move, and the battle was about to break out.
As a warrior, Qiao rushed forward first, didn't even pull out his sword, and directly hugged the thigh of the dead king spider was a back fall.
People in the other churches would have laughed at this, thinking that Joe was a fool of himself.
Theoretically, Joe's strength wasn't strong enough to wrestle the Dead King Spider - the latter's weight plus the bones weighed more than five tons! In front of the Dead King Spider, Joe wasn't even as tall as one of his spider's feet.
However, the fact can make the eyes of the other churches stare out, the dead king spider was really thrown out by Joe's back!
This is where the player's fighting style is different from that of ordinary people in this world.
Although this fantasy world originally possessed extraordinary powers, which can be seen from the existence of various divine arts and magic, the original abilities themselves were not systematic.
In other words, there is no such thing as a 'skill' in the world itself.
This gave Sivi a chance to exploit the loophole.
With his all-encompassing priesthood as the god of games, he directly compiled a new law, the 'Law of Skills'.
The sequence of this law is very low, and it cannot be effective against gods, legendary powerhouses, and epic creatures, but even the law of the lower sequence is also a law!
If you are hit by 'Sword Skill: Pick Up', you will be sent to the air, if you are stuck to 'Hellfire', you will be burned, and if you are hit by 'Back Fall', even if you are Godzilla, you will have to honestly eat a German back axle back fall......
Of course, while this rule applies, it will also be subject to 'skill damage' and 'overlord'.
For example, if you find a muscular hunk who can really drop the dead king spider on his back in a German style, it is estimated that he can smash the spider to pieces and even break his legs.
But after the Dead King Spider was thrown by Qiao like this, except for a moment of confusion because he couldn't understand the current situation, he didn't suffer any serious damage, which is because the skill damage caused by the back fall was not to the extent of serious injury to the Health of the Dead King Spider.
In addition, after eating a back fall and getting back up, the Dead King Spider will have a short 'overlord' time, which also makes it impossible for players to grind an enemy they can't defeat to death through a control skill relay such as an infinite floating back throw.
In fact, when Xiwei created the new law, there was no 'hegemonic body' that would limit the player's setting, but when the law was established, it was partially corrected by the world itself, blocking the backdoor that Xiwei left for the players to win, which made our protagonist feel very regretful......
