Chapter 25: The Challenge
"Speed in."
Lin Ling didn't care about the gazes of others, he refused the inquiry of drunk and drunk whether he wanted to pull another wave of fishmen to practice his hands, and shook his head in annoyance. Even if the pearl three-piece set he is carrying on his body regenerates 3 mana every 5 seconds during battle, his mana cannot withstand such a consumption.
It seems that it is necessary to put the problem of solving the problem of insufficient mana on the agenda.
Lin Ling pondered silently as he followed everyone into the depths.
With the love-hate entanglement of the "passers-by" leading the way, they easily avoided the fish-people who lived nearby, and safely entered the secret cave carved into the stone wall.
Many players are clustered in the crypt to complete the task of opening the mage's treasure room.
Love-hate entanglement pointed to a row of stone carvings in the cave and said: "Pick an ancient stone statue to challenge, if you win, you can enter the mage treasure room, and if you lose, you will be teleported out, my suggestion is to eliminate the mage statue, that difficulty is a bit high." ”
"It's a bit difficult?"
Lin Ling was intrigued by the love-hate argument, in his previous life, he asked someone to help him knock down the statue, and he didn't notice any difference between the statues. Each of these stone sculptures corresponds to a League of Legends class, and he looked closely, and the stone pedestals of warriors, knights, thieves, priests, and rangers were all engraved with the names of the characters who completed the first kill of the stone carvings, except for the mage statue.
Almost four days have passed since the defeat of the first warrior stone.
This shows how difficult the mage statue is.
However, the difficulty is the only point of challenge, if you can't even beat the mage statue, then how can you pass the expert difficulty dungeon?
Although he thought so in his heart, Lin Ling was not good at being arbitrary as soon as he came up, after all, this team had just been established, and the cooperation and tacit understanding between each other were completely based on their own excellent quality, rather than on trust in their teammates.
Eternity is a game that can be played by one person, but to be successful, there is a group of people who support each other.
Frontier Defense, Frontline Battleground, Clash of Factions, Legendary Dungeons, Lords of the Wild...... Which one is not a scene that requires a concerted effort to get through? Who can or cannot have the help of a companion?
He asked the others, "Which one are you going to pick?" ”
"Warrior, the easiest." The love-hate entanglement felt that Lin Ling's question was a bit redundant.
"Mage." Strawberry Nose's answer, like his character, is the type to face difficulties.
The love-hate face suddenly became a little stiff.
"Mage." Drunk Wujiu said lightly, he is tired of the boss of the physics department, and it is not bad to change the law system occasionally to play.
The face of the love-hate entanglement turned gray, did this group of people really know what they were discussing?
"It's easier to play the mage class." The Zen Master of Watch, who had risen to level 5 by farming the Lich Mirror, told the truth.
This made the love-hate entanglement that had died twice in Lin Ling's hands, and even caught the opportunity to turn the tables, was itchy and hateful, and it was easier to play the mage class, and it was easier to play the mage class...... How can the gap between people and people be so big!
"Since they are all mages, then they are mages."
Lin Ling ignored the inner struggle of love and hate, he walked to the mage statue, and was just about to activate the statue, when he suddenly found that the wand pinned to the mage statue's waist was very similar to the wand bones he had received from the troll hyena.
"Zero." Strawberry nose also found this condition.
Seeing the puzzled expressions of his other teammates, Lin Ling took out the remains of his wand and placed them on the waist of the mage statue.
"Like, the same style?" The Zen Master Watchman, who was very sensitive to equipment, carefully compared the patterns on the wand and muttered to himself, "Even the patterns are extremely similar, Zero, have you robbed this mage?" ”
"Maybe there's a hidden mission!" The love-hate entanglement came to an end, and he looked at the wand with bright eyes, and began to wonder what kind of hidden mission it was.
"Let's talk about it."
Lin Ling wasn't too impressed by the low-level hidden mission that didn't make money, he activated the statue, and a white light immediately shot out from the mage statue's gray eyes, teleporting him and the other four people in the same team into a gray space.
System Prompt: Start challenging the Treasure Room Guard, the Mage Statue, with a time limit of 5 minutes.
"The will of the wind, the warmth of the fire, the breath of the water, the persistence of the earth...... Durman's arcane soul rests here, he rests here. ”
The mage statue rises from the gray nothingness of the waves, staring at the ground, the monolithic staff connected to its arm emitting a bright glow like the sun.
Boulder Guardian: Mage Statue, Level 5 Elite, Health 1000/1000, Stone Statue form.
Stone Form: Reduces physical damage by 50%, is immune to toxins, is immune to deformation, and is not affected by slow effects.
"I'll just say it." Love-hate entanglement looked at the mage statue with remorse, how could a boss of this level be beaten.
"It's average."
Lin Ling originally thought how strong the mage statue would be, who would have thought that it would be so strong. However, for a level 5 elite of the mage department, its health is already on the high side.
"Stupid challenger." The mage statue took a big step, and a cloud of thunder light burst out from the top of the boulder staff, splitting on the ground, and more than a dozen gelatinous thunder elements rose from the ground, with crackling thunder like waves in the sea, surging towards Lin Ling and the others.
Thunder: Level 5, 300/300 health.
"Get out of the way!" The love-hate entanglement screamed and fled outside.
"What's the panic? Watch the Zen master, the divine vision. ”
Lin Ling calmly issued an order, he raised the divination orb in his hand, and said in a cold voice, "Drunk and undrunk, hold the hatred of the mage statue, love and hate entanglement go to the back of the mage statue, Strawberry Nose and I clean up the thunder element." ”
"Understood."
The people who received the order scattered, and although they were a little unhappy about the love-hate entanglement, they still obeyed Lin Ling's order and escaped into the sneak and walked behind the mage statue.
The watchman struck his shield, and a bright light rose behind him, and the divine illusion exploded, repelling the thunder elementals that surrounded him, and blinded them.
Strawberry Nose slashed out from behind the Zen Master, and the two-handed axe that he swung with great force scraped through the body of the Thunder Elemental, dealing a rather astonishing damage.
System Tip: You have activated Ancient Will, which increases your maximum mana by 190 and increases your extra spell power by 33.
The ancient will awakened and turned into several mana UFOs around Lin Ling's side. He raised his hands high and unleashed a blizzard, encompassing both the Thunder Elemental and the Mage Statue within the blizzard's striking radius.
Shattered ice fell, and triple-digit damage surfaced from the heads of the Thunder Elemental and the Mage Statue.
Receiving a blow, the boulder staff of the mage statue pointed at Lin Ling.
Drunken and drunk, he quickly used his double-edged sword, exchanging blood for blood, and forced the mage statue to attack him.
The love-hate entanglement that arrived at the position began his performance, and he turned on the smoke screen skill to envelop the mage statue, reducing the probability of himself and being drunk and drunk, increasing the dodge rate of the two in disguise, and then constantly used sneak attacks and backstabs, and tried his best to hit the mage statue.
It's just that in front of the 50% physical damage immunity of the stone form, his output seems to be a little powerful.
"Whew!" The Thunder Element took the lead in withstanding the double blow of the blizzard and the slash, and turned into piles of broken nitrate.
System Prompt: Gain 300 XP.
"That's a lot of experience." The Zen Master of Shouwang shoots the healing mantra, and the treatment of drunkenness and non-alcoholic treatment has so many experience points for the thunder element of level 5, what about the mage statue?
Seeing the death of the thunder element, Lin Ling interrupted the blizzard casting, stretched out his wand, and pointed at the mage statue.
Beams of silver force fields shot out of the tip of the wand, and magic missiles struck the mage statue's body, dealing a lot of damage. Strawberry Nose also charges and slams the mage statue's body, draining its health with a cut that is not affected by armor, resistances, etc.
"Wind, wind!"
The struck mage statue erupted into a violent hurricane, shaking back the besieging crowd. Surrounded by the wind, it quickly rushed towards Lin Ling, gripped the middle of the boulder staff with its right hand, and smashed it to the ground.
"Hurricane Guardian? It's really superficial. ”
A fine light flashed in Lin Ling's half-open eyes, and he also raised his right hand and smashed it to the ground.
Crack Earthquake Strike!
Bang!
This skill, which was obtained by sacrificing a level 3 elemental ray, took its effect and blasted the mage statue into a state of dizziness.
"Drunk and drunk, help me." However, by this time the duration of the Ancient Will had come to an end. Lin Ling used a mana crystal to replenish his mana, and took another bottle of mana potion. The moment he awakened from the mage statue, he used another spell from the troll hyena.
Nether Impact!
The power of the fallen Netherworld converged into a powerful beam of energy that repelled the mage statue.
The drunken drunken in front of Lin Ling, who used the reinforcement defense to return to him, immediately used his double-edged sword to grab the mage statue, and the love-hate entanglement and strawberry nose who rushed back had just arrived at the position, but was stopped by a wall of fire.
"Fire, fire."
Raging flames erupted from the facial features of the mage statue, forming a wall of fire that burned everyone.
Flame protection.
The Overwatch Zen Master suddenly activated a piece of equipment that increased everyone's Fire Elemental Resistance by 20, and he said anxiously, "Stand back, this effect will only last for 15 seconds." ”
Strawberrynose and the love-hate entanglement have retreated, leaving only the drunk and undrunk at the front.
"Behind the fire is water, water, it should be the water element." Lin Ling analyzed the attack sequence of the mage statue, he turned on the concentrated energy shooting, and while throwing the lightning bead from afar, he thought about what kind of water magic would be on the same level as the hurricane guardian and the wall of fire.
"Water, flowing water."
Patches of water appeared on the surface of the mage statue, and seeing this effect, Lin Ling immediately understood what kind of magic the mage statue was going to use.
"It's a wave impact! Drunk without alcohol, Holy Shield Defense. Strawberry nose, split, love-hate entanglement with full output, it is impossible to maintain the stone statue form under the impact of waves! "Lin Ling, who has ten years of experience and consciousness beyond ordinary people, has identified the next magic of the mage statue.
Wave Blast is an area of effect magic that is not used to damage enemies, but to complete the caster's own conversion from matter to running water.
Flowing water, it is naturally impossible to maintain the stone statue form!
A drunken sword fell, and the mage statue suddenly collapsed into countless flowing water and washed forward. He raised his shield and activated the shield defense at the cost of health and mana per second.
The watchman showed the qualifications of a good pastor.
Healing mantras, quick treatments, bandage treatments......
One recovery after another was applied to the drunken body, maintaining his health. He also used a mana crystal to restore mana, firmly withstanding the pressure from the mage statue.
The love-hate entanglement and strawberry nose, which had been depressed by the stone statue form for a long time, could finally be relieved to go crazy, and the health of the mage statue slipped under the storm-like blow, and soon dropped to less than 200.
"Earth." The mage statue recovers from its wave form, and the stone form reappears on its body. It raised its boulder staff and said in a deep voice, "Valman's arcane soul, the judgment of the earth. Challenger, try to take on the Elemental Turbo which comes from the ancient wrath. ”
"Drow Warlock's Sorcery!" Lin Ling was shocked, he didn't expect that the mage statue would be the same as himself, and he also had a "versatile" specialty, and even the signature magic of the Drow Warlock who lived in the underground world, the Elemental Turbine, had mastered it.
The Elemental Turbo can be said to be a magical version of Blade Storm.
The mage statue creates a rotating elemental turbine that harvests life around it.
"How do you fight this?" The love-hate entanglement that got too close was rubbed by the Elemental Turbo, and more than half of its health was lost. He hurriedly took a vial of life potion and squeezed it back desperately.
Strawberrynose and the watchman retreated, and even the drunken had to move their feet to avoid the edge of the elemental turbo.
The statue of the mage casting the Elemental Turbo is as inaccessible as a spinning hedgehog.
"Use moonstone to create artificial darkness." Lin Ling, who had fought with the Drow Warlock in his previous life, was familiar with the weakness of the Elemental Turbo, which was an evil technique that required him to see the target in order to damage the target, and Drow was born with dark vision and could see through the darkness. And the mage statue may not have this talent.
Love-hate entanglement turned out a moonstone and crushed it, and artificial darkness immediately hung over their heads.
Everyone was dark-eyed, unable to see ahead or their teammates.
The sound of the wind spinning in the elemental turbine echoed in everyone's ears, and the love-hate entanglement couldn't stand the pressure for the first time, shouting, "It's over, it's over, it's over......"
"Don't move!" Lin Ling said loudly, he once again activated the ancient will, raised his hand, and cast a blizzard.
Love-hate entanglement is a stopper.
The blizzard washed over the ground, the sound of crushing ice hitting the ground and the spinning of elemental turbines overlapped, and after 8 seconds, everything fell silent.
System Prompt: Gain 1200 XP and congratulate you on defeating the Guardian of the Monolith, the Mage Statue.
The artificial darkness created by the moonstone slowly disappears.
In the gray space, a collapsed corner appeared, and that was the place where the Great Magician Falman used to collect the Sealing Stone Sutra, a level 5 dungeon: the Mage Treasure Room.
System Announcement: Congratulations to players Zero, Strawberry Nose, Love-Hate Entanglement, Zen Master Watch, and Drunken Drunk for defeating the Mage Statue and completing the first kill, with a battle time of 2 minutes and 37 seconds.
System Prompt: Get the first kill reward, 25 faction reputation.
"I'm on the system announcement?" Love-hate entanglement looked at the system information in disbelief, that incomparably powerful mage statue, just hung up so simply?
"You see, this guy isn't anything remarkable." Lin Ling shrugged his shoulders, he picked up the drop of the mage statue, a bronze quality shield, a boulder shard, and casually threw it to Zui Wujiu.
"QuithainMagus (Congratulations, Mage)."
At this time, a secret voice came into Lin Ling's ears. He turned around and saw a glowing shadow emerge from the place where the mage statue had collapsed.
