Chapter 44: The Witch King's Ruins (4)
After pacing blankly for 20 minutes, Zhao Dabao finally made up his mind. In the end, it was the adventurous blood and fighting spirit in his bones that defeated the mentality of seeking stability from memory.
Wang Dayong can fight for his childhood dream all his life. No matter what obstacles he faced, no matter what setbacks he suffered, he still persevered. Could it be that he, Zhao Dabao, doesn't have the courage and courage to do something that is destined to be unsuccessful?
Having memories from the future is itself a gift from God. If this is the case, he doesn't dare to make some changes, and he is really a little sorry for God's love.
Zhao Dabao is actually making a big gamble, betting on the powerful Cheng dù of the 'Witch King Inheritance'. The stake is on his future, that is, to bet on whether he will embark on a path that seems destined to fail, whether there will be a different scenery. Zhao Dabao believes in his own ability, and the road that others can't take doesn't mean that he can't either. At this moment, his heart ignited with infinite fighting spirit.
With this vigorous fighting spirit, Zhao Dabao came to the bronze gate altar engraved with the word 'demon'. Picking up the candlestick on the ground, he walked up the nine steps to the front of the bronze door.
Five bronze gates, Zhao Dabao still chose to start with the bronze door of the 'demon' with that secret treasure. The reason why he chose the bronze gate of the 'demon' was not only because of the storage of that secret treasure, but also because he was more confident in challenging this bronze gate.
Due to the cultivation of the 'Pure and Clear Heart Formula', Zhao Dabao's resistance to 'external evils' and 'internal demons' is much higher than his resistance to 'injuries', 'diseases', and 'toxins'. Judging from the understanding of these five bronze gates, Zhao Dabao also knows more about this 'demon' bronze gate.
The bronze door of 'demon', which represents 'inner demon', is a synthesis of many feelings from the heart. Although the situation encountered by each challenge to the Bronze Gate of the 'Demon' is different, there are two things that are the same. One is that what they encounter is inevitably a situation that will induce their own emotions; The other is that he will definitely challenge the same demons as himself.
The former is inseparable from 'joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire', which tests the player's will, while the latter is to overcome oneself and test the player's strength.
Overcoming oneself is the most difficult thing. For the vast majority of players, the 'inner demons' that are exactly the same as themselves are the ones they are destined to be unable to defeat.
The player who got the secret treasure at the beginning was able to pass the level by relying on the concerted efforts of several people. Because they enter the ruins in a team, in many cases, they will have more advantages than solo players. However, there are disadvantages to teaming up, and the simplest thing is that the rewards you get will be greatly reduced. Otherwise, the secret treasure he got at the beginning would not have appeared as if it had been sealed. But even so, there is no doubt about the strength of that treasure.
There is no fixed order of what kind of scene you will encounter first when challenging the Bronze Gate of the 'Demon'. Some people encounter demons first, while others enter into some special scenes. Zhao Dabao didn't know what kind of situation he encountered first, but he hoped that it would be a challenge to his demons.
Not for anything else, it's because he desperately needs a hearty battle. There is no more exhilarating battle than fighting yourself.
Holding the bronze candlestick, Zhao Dabao stepped forward and used the faint flame to burn the word 'demon' on the bronze door. This is the only way to enter the Bronze Gate and start the challenge. If you don't know this method, you can only look at the door and sigh, enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed. Empty-handed is not counted, but must also pay the price of death once. Otherwise, it would be impossible to leave the 'Witch King Ancient Palace'.
As soon as the flame touched the word 'demon', the entire bronze door, along with the pedestal under its feet, emitted a rich bronze glow full of ancient aura. Although the light is rich, it is not dazzling at all, but extremely soft. Surrounded by this bronze light, Zhao Dabao recovered to his best state, and his body and mind felt extremely comfortable, and he was so beautiful that he couldn't do it.
Shrouded in bronze light, the bronze door cracked a crack in the middle and slowly retracted to both sides, revealing a soft golden light.
Putting the candlestick in his hand back to its place, Zhao Dabao took a deep breath and stepped into the golden light. It was dark in front of him, and when he opened his eyes again, Zhao Dabao was already in an open space that looked like a ring.
The ring is 100 meters square, and all of them are paved with 1×1 quaint bluestone. The edge of the ring was a vast bronze cloud that could not be seen through. The clouds glow softly, lighting up the entire ring.
As soon as he saw this scene, Zhao Dabao knew that he could get his wish. This ring is the scene to challenge the demons. Only by defeating the demons can you gain something, get that secret treasure, and continue the next challenge.
With a deep laughter, a black figure walked out of the dense fog directly opposite Zhao Dabao. Except for the translucent black body, there was no difference between this figure and Zhao Dabao.
Heart Demon (Stone Companion Flower): Level 20 Sorcerer, Health: 2497/2497, Mana: 2608/2608. The collection of evil thoughts in the hearts of living beings inherits all the abilities of all living beings with evil thoughts.
In fact, to deal with the 'inner demon', Zhao Dabao knows a little trick. The power of the 'inner demon' is closely related to the player himself. As long as the equipment on the body is removed before entering the Bronze Gate of the 'Demon' and is included in the 'Mustard Seed Bag', the 'Heart Demon' will not gain the abilities provided by these equipment. As long as you wait for the 'Heart Demon' to appear, and then put the removed equipment back on, you will naturally be able to gain an advantage over the 'Heart Demon'.
Special beings like 'inner demons' are not only encountered in the bronze gate of the 'demons' of the 'witch king's ruins'. The trick that Zhao Dabao knows is the exact conclusion that a player has come to after countless trial and error. As long as it is a 'demon in the heart', there will definitely be such a trick to save zài. However, since the appearance time of this trick is only half a month away from the end of Zhao Dabao's memory, no one is using this trick to challenge the bronze gate of the 'demon'.
Although it was clear that there was such a trick to use, Zhao Dabao did not do it. Now that you have decided to embark on a unique path, you must have the courage to face difficulties head-on. It's not that he hasn't killed an opponent whose strength is above him, and Zhao Dabao is not going to play those tricks.
This is not to say that Zhao Dabao has lost his cool and started to become impulsive and blind. He will do this, and he has thought it carefully. It's not like he didn't have a back hand, and if it was really hard to deal with, he wouldn't really be a dead brain.
Almost at the same time, Zhao Dabao and his 'heart demon' all clenched the 'gold and silver wire ring-eared tiger head knife' in their hands. The only difference is that one is a physical body and a deity, and the other is a black translucent body or replica that has evolved from a special technique. At the same time, there was a roar, full of confidence and amazing momentum; The other has a bit of a cold connotation, a little sharp. Unleash the 'Leap' skill, and suddenly fall behind the opponent's previous position, and switch positions.
The 'Heart Demon' would make exactly the same choice as him, and Zhao Dabao was not surprised. After all, the other party was born because of him and has all his abilities. It is understandable that he is similar to him in the way he fights.
To deal with his 'inner demons', Zhao Dabao had no intention of using 'witch spells'. The attributes of the two sides are completely the same, and the 'witch spell' he possesses, ten times likely, will not have an effect on the 'heart demon'. Even if there were, it was insignificant and meaningless.
Of course, skills like 'Witch Charm' will still have some effect. However, Zhao Dabao had already attached this skill to his mist long before entering the 'Witch King Ruins'. The duration of the skill has not yet passed, and there is no need to recast it again.
Although the 'Witch Spell' does not have any effect on the 'Inner Demon', the skills attached to the weapon-level equipment obtained from the Treasure still have some effect.
Zhao Dabao first put the 'Stone Skin Technique' on his body, and then raised his left hand, and the 'Elephant Trunk Thorn Pig King's Spiked Soft Whip' in his hand pointed at the 'Heart Demon' who rushed towards him with a knife on the opposite side, and instantly launched a 'Sharp Stimulation Shot'.
For this skill, Zhao Dabao did not expect it to have any effect. Not to mention whether the 'Heart Demon' will use the 'Leap' to jump away, just the 'Curved Horn Stretch' skill obtained from the 'Hexagonal Goat King's Scient-Horned Arm Shield' can restrain this skill to death.
Zhao Dabao will make such a choice, and he still hopes that his 'inner demon' will make the decision he envisions. Use the 'Curved Angle Stretch' skill to form an airtight shield in front of him to resist his 'Sharp Stimulation' skill.
As a result, his 'inner demon' will lose his vision for a short time. He can seize this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to his 'inner demon', or even finish off his 'inner demon'.
However, the 'heart demon' did not let Zhao Dabao get his wish. Facing the hundreds of spikes that shot in, I saw his toes lightly on the bluestone under his feet, and a 'hard jump' came to Zhao Dabao's right rear in an instant. waved the treasure knife in his hand, and slashed at the back of Zhao Dabao's neck and shoulder.
In this regard, Zhao Dabao has long been on guard. As soon as the 'Sharp Stimulation Shot' was launched, he was ready to deal with the next reaction of the 'Heart Demon'. As soon as the 'Heart Demon' disappeared from his eyes, Zhao Dabao's body moved instantly.
I saw him slam his waist, with force under his feet, and jumped forward more than two meters away. With his left hand on the ground, his body rolled on his side, facing the 'inner demon' again. With another force on his right leg, he waved the treasure knife in his hand and jumped back towards the 'heart demon'. With his right hand, he made a false move, swinging his knife and slashing at the waist and abdomen of the 'Heart Demon', and his left hand clenched the soft whip, ready to whip the head of the 'Heart Demon' at any moment.
The 'heart demon' who slashed through the air did not continue the pursuit. I saw him standing in place, staring at Zhao Dabao's figure while holding his weapon with both hands, ready to deal with Zhao Dabao's next counterattack.
Seeing Zhao Dabao's treasure knife coming at him, the 'heart demon' also waved the treasure knife in his hand to meet him. At the same time, he waved the soft whip of his left hand and whipped Zhao Dabao's ribs from one side.
The two knives intersected with a 'bang'. The two with exactly the same attributes, naturally there will be no phenomenon of who repels whom, or who can't stop copying the knife. However, this time the two swords intersected, and both hands were numb, which was unavoidable.
The 'heart demon' compilation pumped to his right ribs, and Zhao Dabao's mind. The left hand, which had already been fully prepared, slammed out, and the 'Elephant Trunk Thorn Pig King's Spiked Soft Whip' left an afterimage in the air with a whistling sound, and slammed it towards the head of the 'Heart Demon'.
After all, the 'heart demon' is just a 'heart demon', and in the final analysis, he still lacks some creative power and adaptability. Zhao Dabao's blow was obviously beyond his expectations. However, the strength has been used up, and it is impossible to make changes again.
It was too late to say that it was too late, and the soft whips of both had already hit each other. Compared to the whip that whipped Zhao Dabao's ribs with the 'Stone Skin Technique', causing 226 points of damage (100 points of magic damage attached to the 'Witch Spell', and 126 points of ordinary physical damage to attack the soft ribs), Zhao Dabao's whip on the top of the 'Heart Demon' was obviously more advantageous.
The 'Heart Demon' didn't apply the 'Stone Skin Technique' to himself like Zhao Dabao, and the head was the fatal part of the humanoid life, Zhao Dabao's whip took away the 'Heart Demon' and 'Heart Demon' for 889 points of life, and earned 663 points.
In addition, there is a difference between the pain caused by being whipped in the ribs and the head being whipped. Obviously, the 'heart demon' who was drawn to the head suffered even more. Although it is protected by armor, it is not so pleasant.
With one blow, both endured the pain from their bodies, and with a 'hard jump', they instantly widened the distance between each other. One of them chose a corner, and each stood still, staring at each other, planning the next tactic.
The reason why he chose to distance himself was because he took advantage of it and wanted to maintain his current advantage. The 'inner demon' is to suffer a loss and prevent it from suffering a greater loss. At this time, both of them are very cautious in their hearts.
The feeling of pain gradually dissipated, and Zhao Dabao, who took the lead, found that the other party seemed to be a little stunned. It seems that because he has just been hit in the head, he seems to be a little sluggish.
However, Zhao Dabao did not stick it because of this, and took this opportunity to continue to expand his advantages and kill the other party. On the contrary, he walked slowly and unhurriedly, approaching the 'inner demon' little by little.
Not every opportunity is an opportunity, and what you think is an opportunity is most likely a trap deliberately laid for you by the other party. Zhao Dabao himself is a person who is good at taking advantage of the opponent's psychology, choosing all kinds of different tactics, and defeating the opponent in a more concise and easy way at a smaller cost. As his 'heart demon', he will definitely inherit his fighting style.
The advantage that was finally created, Zhao Dabao didn't want to let it go like this. Instead of taking the risk of trying to kill the opponent in this area, it is better to play steadily, expand your advantages little by little, and slowly eat away at the opponent.
Although he has just made a risky decision, it does not mean that Zhao Dabao is a person who is willing to take risks. In terms of general policy, we can be more radical and make some bold attempts. But when it comes to the implementation of details, Zhao Dabao will be extremely careful and cautious, and will not allow a little omission.
Facts have proved that Zhao Dabao's caution this time was correct. Seeing that Zhao Dabao did not choose to attack when he was showing his flaws, the 'heart demon' instantly recovered to its original state. A cruel smile appeared on the black translucent face, and he snorted coldly, and after applying a 'stone skin technique' to himself, he also followed Zhao Dabao's example, and slowly walked towards Zhao Dabao.
The 'heart demon' is also like Zhao Dabao, and he did not choose to use the 'witch spell'. Obviously, he also knows very well that casting a 'witch spell' will not have any effect, but will be caught by the other party at one time.
Seeing that the 'heart demon' also followed his example, slowly approaching him little by little, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhao Dabao's mouth. It was at this time that Zhao Dabao instantly launched the 'Withered Vine Entanglement' skill. At the same time, there was a wild roar. 'Strive for a Leap' was activated instantly, and with the skill effect of the 'Wild Call Sign' skill increasing by 20% of his total attributes, he waved the 'Gold and Silver Thread Ring-Eared Tiger Head Knife' in his hand, and stabbed him from the back of the 'Heart Demon' to the back of his neck.
'Withered Vine Entanglement', which is usually inconspicuous, has a special effect at this moment. Regardless of whether the 'entanglement' judgment takes effect or not, all Zhao Dabao needs is the momentary interference effect that those withered vines bring to the 'heart demon' when they come out of the ground.
Even if the judgment can't take effect, those withered vines still exist after all. As long as there is a moment that has an impact on the 'heart demon', it is enough for Zhao Dabao to gain something.
Since the day he obtained this skill, Zhao Dabao had only used it once when he had just obtained it. Therefore, for this skill, the 'heart demon' didn't pay too much attention to it.
After all, it is Zhao Dabao's 'inner demon', and his cognition of many things also comes from Zhao Dabao himself. Zhao Dabao attaches great importance to the skills, and he will also attach great importance to them. It's like the 'Leap' skill, which he uses very often.
And the skills that Zhao Dabao usually doesn't pay much attention to, in his place, will not be taken seriously. It's like 'Stone Skin Technique', if Zhao Dabao hadn't added one to himself and it had a good effect, he wouldn't have tried to use it. It's like the 'Vine Wrapping' skill, he obviously doesn't know enough about the effects of this skill.
The situation on the field was completely under Zhao Dabao's grasp in an instant.
