The Capital of the Dead, which is said to be the entrance to the Land of the Dead, gathers a large number of souls of the dead, and is the Land of the Extreme Yin, and when you advance on this map, there will be a debuff of "The Land of the Dead Yin" on your body, which will continue to accumulate and stack, and once it is stacked to 100%, the player's soul will be separated from the main body, that is, it will die directly.

But there are some "Gathering Suns" in these maps, which are some of the places where life is gathered in the capital of the dead, where you can remove part of the debuff of the Land of the Dead Yin, but the spawn location is random, and in case of bad luck, it will be hung up,

In addition, the monster's attack will also lead to the debuff stacking of the land of the dead yin, so many players are reluctant to come here.

"There aren't many monsters over here." Xia Chiyu put away his staff and muttered to himself.

"But they're all powerful...... "Wake grunted, "either you have to kill in a specific way, or your attack pattern is too unconventional...... It's no wonder that players are reluctant to come here. ”

"Anyway, guys, have you paid attention to the forum? About the two guys we met last time. Lacey asked suddenly.

Xia Chiyu was stunned and said, "I have paid attention, but there seems to be no rumors of seizing the artifact." ”

"That's because it's a domestic forum, right?" Lacey said, clicking on his forum page, on which a large piece of English appeared: "You see, on our foreign forum, there are two people who have been robbed of artifacts and holy weapons. ”

"What about the guild of the robbers?" Xia Chiyu asked, Lacey checked the content of the post and shook his head: "There is no mention of the name and guild, the name of the guild can be hidden, but I can't even see the name, will it be ......?"

Gu Qinyan replied on the side: "It was a sneak attack, right?" Before I could see the name, I was killed. ”

"I heard that the total number of artifacts and holy weapons in the AO is fixed?" Su Xing asked curiously.

"Yes, thirty-six holy weapons and eighteen sets of artifacts. Kits like God's Left Hand and Demon Hand count as a set. Xia Chiyu nodded and said, "However, the effect of a set of artifacts is similar to that of a single artifact. ”

"If you don't even know the name of the prisoner, it's not easy to make a conclusion." Lacey frowned and muttered, "After all, there are quite a few players who snatch artifacts and holy weapons, and it is not surprising that this kind of thing happens every day. ”

"It's true that those two guys are just better." Xia Chiyu nodded.

It is not uncommon for players to snatch artifacts, and it is not uncommon for them to have strength, but Xia Chiyu somehow. I still care a little about Gal and Carlo. Because in terms of strength, they are too powerful, even if they are holding a certain artifact, they are technically stronger than Yang Zhilong, whom Xia Chiyu and the four of them have fought against.

"Say." Gu Qinyan suddenly changed the topic on the side, "Have you ever thought about how to defeat those two?" If they really have some kind of conspiracy against the artifact, I'm afraid they will find a way to kill us. At that time......"

"What do you think?" Xia Chiyu asked curiously.

Gu Qinyan shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, I have to rush up the level first to see if I know the specific ......."

"Not bad. Same thought as me. Xia Chiyu held his chin and said, "The key to the PvP of this game is nothing more than three points: first, superior technology, and second." Perfect skill setting, thirdly, artifacts and holy weapons. ”

"Oh? When did you start relying on artifacts and artifacts? Wake sneered.

Xia Chiyu ignored him and continued, "In order to cooperate with the artifact and the holy weapon. We had to redesign a set of skills, and I'm used to the way I'm playing, so that's obviously not something I'm going to think about. Then only technology and skills remain. ”

Gu Qinyan and the three of them nodded in agreement. Xia Chiyu continued: "In terms of technology, in addition to the experience that needs to be honed more, the reaction is innate, and there is no way to make up for the lack in this aspect, so we can only make up for it from the skill setting." ”

"But I think I'm perfect for now." Su Xing sighed helplessly.

"Yes, I think so too." Xia Chiyu echoed, "Because a set of skill trees is set around the three buff skills of passive, trigger and active, it is useless to add some trivial skills, I think it is better to start with these three core skills." ”

"What do you mean......" Gu Qinyan asked with interest.

Xia Chiyu shrugged: "I mean, you also know the so-called comprehensive value of skills in AO, right?" ”

The so-called comprehensive value of skills is determined by the comprehensive number of attacks, healing effects, attack range, duration, etc., and the skills of the same level, no matter how they are set, the comprehensive value of skills is the same. However, the comprehensive value of high-level skills is higher than that of low-level skills.

"But you know the so-called forced equilibrium theorem, right?" Su Xing asked on the side, Xia Chiyu said with some surprise: "Oh? It's obviously an SB, but I still know the forced equilibrium theorem! It's really ......"

"Try it again, pull your vocal cords out." Su Xing smiled angrily and clenched his fists.

The forced equilibrium theorem is specifically for passive, active, and trigger skills that can directly increase the attack power of skills, that is, the calculation method of the comprehensive value of these three skills is different from that of ordinary skills.

For example, the overall value of a level 20 skill is several hundred lower than that of a level 70 skill, but if it is counted as an enhancement skill, the active skill designed at level 20 can increase the damage of all skills by 5%, and the level 70 skill can only increase the damage of all skills by 6% or 7%.

This is because this kind of enhancement skill can be applied to all skills, so the comprehensive value increase cannot bring obvious enhancement effect, firstly, this is to avoid too large a gap caused by the level, and secondly, it is to allow players to finalize their general skills at low levels, and determine the direction of the entire skill tree in the future.

"In short, I'm not referring to setting up a few high-level enhancement skills, although there can be an improvement, but the improvement is not large, and what changes is only the damage of the skill, and it is useless to miss the enemy." Xia Chiyu raised an index finger as he spoke, and a wise smile appeared on his face: "But what if you design a few skills to strengthen these three enhancement skills individually?" ”

"......" Su Xing, Reis and Gu Qinyan were all silent, looking thoughtful.

"You also know that the more restrictions there are on a skill, the higher the value of enhancement." Xia Chiyu explained. "But those constraints also fix the way we play. So I wondered, should we set up some enhanced skills to break these restrictions, so as to keep the original style of play, and make it more free and diverse? ”

Saying that, Xia Chiyu thought for a while: "For example, the effect of my trigger skills is that after using different systems, the damage of the next attack spell can be enhanced, so that although the buff can be stacked several times, there is also a drawback." ”

"Well, you can only use different spells constantly." Su Xing nodded. "When you've stacked a few times, the enemy should know you're ready to attack and be on alert. And once you've attacked, knowing that your buff is gone, your opponent knows that you have to continue stacking buffs, so that you have a safe period of time to attack. ”

"Yes, so, I was thinking if I could strengthen this skill. The buff will last for a certain period of time, and then use different spells to refresh this duration......" Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders, and Reiston sighed: "Indeed! In this way, the effect of the enhancement becomes a continuous storage instead of a one-time consumption. The style of play will become much freer! ”

"Yes, you only need to use a spell refresh time of a different system once in a while." Xia Chiyu nodded and said, "It has made the style of play a lot freer, and it will not have too much impact on the existing style of play." ”

Gu Qinyan immediately replied: "This is a pretty good idea. I think it's doable. ”

"The problem now is that I have two skill bars every ten levels, and my skill bar is full. So you have to wait for level 80 to verify. Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said, while Gu Qinyan said in a deep voice: "Or die and practice again." ”

"What, your follow-up skill slots have already been used?" Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Gu Qinyan shook his head: "No, it's just that this idea of yours reminds me that some skills are not so cost-effective, I want to modify those skills, or simply delete them for other skills." ”

Generally, the skill bar of the master in AO will be fully designed, except for some main skills, players will design some skills separately to deal with some special situations, so high-level players basically have no skill bar to spare.

"I don't think there's any need to rush it." "I've heard that there are some rare treasures in AO that allow players to forget certain skills and resets, such as Meng Po Soup, Sansheng Stone, and the Water of the Forgotten River. ”

"That's right...... After all, it's too time-consuming to practice again. Gu Qinyan held his chin and groaned.

"Okay, anyway, that's what I think, for now, we still have to raise the level first and narrow the level gap with those two guys. A guild requires a minimum of five people to be founded, which means that there are at least three more people in the Death Star Alliance. Xia Chiyu said, stretched out his hand to brush away the black mist in front of him and sighed, "I can't pretend not to find out about this matter......

But touching that black mist instantly made the "Dead Yin Land" debuff on Xia Chiyu's body superimpose to more than seventy percent. Su Xing threw a bright red fruit to Xia Chiyu and said, "Hey, I'm going to die, I'll give you the fruit of death." ”

"Ah, thanks." Xia Chiyu said, eating the fruit, and the debuff on his body was eliminated to more than fifty percent. The crowd continued to advance in the capital of the dead.

Although there are not many monsters on this map, you can see dead souls everywhere rushing forward, and interestingly, the ghosts here are the appearance and names of dead players, and the number of dead souls is also determined by the total number of player deaths in a certain area. And the destination of these souls is the Reincarnation Pool.

However, players can't follow these revenants because of this, because the revenants pass through the road are all in the Yin Land, and there is no place to remove the debuff of the Yin Land, so following the revenants will definitely die in the end, and they must search for some sun-gathering places on the road to suspend the buff, and then continue to follow these revenants.

"Now that we're in the depths of the map, to be on the safe side, let's go find a place where the sun gathers and get rid of the debuff." "I heard that the deeper this map goes to the depths of the Reincarnation Pool, the faster the debuff of the Land of the Dead Yin will stack, and the less the Land of the Sun, it is better to eliminate this debuff as much as possible before moving forward, otherwise it will be too late to turn back." ”

"Yes, let's make sure we survive before we talk about the rest. We find a place where the sun gathers, and we move on. If we haven't found the next Sungathering Land before the debuff stacks to 50% in the Netherlands, we'll turn back. Xia Chiyu said, got up and walked forward, and the soul of a player named Tyrant Cool Drag passed through his body.

"Holy! It's a 10% debuff again! Xia Chiyu complained helplessly, "These souls are really ...... Shadowy. ”

The Land of the Suns is randomly refreshed, but there is a very simple trick, that is, there are no dead souls around the place where the Land of the Suns is refreshed, so everyone looks to the left to avoid the ghosts that appear on the road.

Then, a monster appeared in front of them.

"Seventy-level leader ......," Gu Qinyan put his hand on the hilt of his sword vigilantly. When the level is higher, the AI of the monster will also become higher.,A level 70 boss monster is only slightly less mentally retarded than the boss in the team book.。

However, it is a little strange that a handsome blonde man in a white suit appears in such a place, still as a boss monster, and the name of this monster is "White Impermanence".

"Oh? Is it another stupid guy who was lured in by Agares? Bai Wuchang glanced at the three of them with disdain, then raised his hand and said coldly: "Then I will take your souls, disappear, it's really an eyesore......"

A large amount of black-purple aura suddenly erupted from Bai Wuchang's hand. Four hook locks erupted from the black-purple aura, instantly piercing into the chests of Xia Chiyu and the others.

"Holy?" Xia Chiyu was stunned, and suddenly felt delirious for a while, and then found that his soul was detached from his body. Began to be hooked outwards by the hook in the chest. Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from his body, Xia Chiyu raised his staff and aimed at Bai Wuchang and tried to release the spell, but it had no effect and he couldn't act at all.

Forthwith. They only felt that the world was spinning, and they lost consciousness in an instant.

I don't know how long it took, Xia Chiyu felt as if he had fallen into a dream. It seems that he has been in the dream for a long time, but when he wakes up, the time in the game shows that only two minutes have passed.

"What kind of place is this...... Xia Chiyu frowned and said to himself, looking up and looking around, he found himself at the bottom of a dilapidated tower, there were no walls on all sides of the tower, this tower seemed to be suspended in mid-air, and outside was a bottomless pit covered with purple mist, and some huge sharp stalactites and a dim sky could be seen around.

Inside the tower, there is a staircase leading to the upper floor on the left-hand side, but it is sealed by a fence.

"SB Warlock? The second swordsman? **Knight? Xia Chiyu called, and a low roar sounded in the shadows in front of him, and then two skeleton soldiers pounced out of it, and the sharp blades in their hands fell.

Xia Chiyu immediately retreated with the help of the Wind Walking Technique, the thin sword in his left hand swept sideways, passing over the neck of the skeleton soldier on the left, and the staff of his right hand aimed at the head of the skeleton soldier on the left and fired a fireball, killing both skeleton soldiers in an instant.

"Did you teleport here?" Xia Chiyu muttered to himself, looking down at his body, it was not the translucent soul state as before, but at this time, more skeleton soldiers rushed out of the darkness.

After killing all the more than thirty skeleton soldiers, the fence leading to the upper floor was opened.

"What the hell is this?" Xia Chiyu looked at the stairs leading upstairs suspiciously, and muttered to himself.

But soon, a whisper sounded in his ears: "Go, if you can pass this endless trial, I will give you back your soul, or ...... Hmph, what level will you fall on? ”

"Who!?" Xia Chiyu turned back suddenly, Agareth's figure was hidden under the cloak, and he stepped back with a sneer, Xia Chiyu raised his staff and threw out a light arrow, but the light bullet penetrated Agareth's body directly.

Agareth laughed and stepped back, his figure disappearing into the shadows.

"This bastard......" Xia Chiyu scolded, came to the side of the tower, and blasted a large fireball downward.

The fireballs flew all the way and disappeared into the purple mist below, seemingly endlessly, and there seemed to be some crow-like creatures floating in the sky, apparently there was also an air blockade here.

"Can you only go up?" Xia Chiyu frowned and sighed and said, he had to go up the stairs on the first floor and came to the second floor of the tower, as he thought, it was the same as the first floor, exactly the same structure, and some monsters were rotting corpses whose bodies had begun to melt, there were a lot of them, but they were not as difficult as the skeleton soldiers on the first floor.

There is a big "2" on the ground of the tower that shines faintly, after defeating these rotting corpses, Xia Chiyu came to the third floor, and it is still the same structure, distributing these monsters. After solving it, Xia Chiyu continued to go up, and after dealing with the seventh layer like this, Xia Chiyu was extremely anxious, considering the "endless trial" that Agares said, he was not sure if there was a top layer here.

"Damn, there is no end......" Xia Chiyu scolded until he came to the tenth floor, and then waited for the shadow to appear in front of him. The monsters of the previous nine layers were all weak, and there were more and more of them, obviously increasing the difficulty, however, this time, there was only one shadow that came out of the shadows.

"This is ......" Looking at the enemy that appeared in front of him, Xia Chiyu was stunned for a moment.

What appeared in front of him was actually a player! It's in the form of an enemy.,But in the form of an NPC.,And it seems to be the same as the previous demon.,Will use the player's skills.。

"Huh...... Is it a player who died here in the past? Xia Chiyu muttered to himself, "It's a bit troublesome now......" (to be continued......)
