"Zero" Upgrade Patch 50 Released: Regarding why some readers say that Purple Sun's weapons ignore defense, and why it is still so hard to deal with the Nightmare Puppet. This needs to be made clear first, the puppet is not a monster but a city defense. When Ziri first encountered the puppet, the level display of the puppet showed that he was different from the monster. As a city defense, the death of a puppet is determined by health and defense, in fact, the puppet has no defense and health at all, and his attribute is durability. Only when the durability is depleted can the puppet be truly destroyed.
"Rose, stand back."
"Why?"
"I don't have time to explain right now, so stay away."
Rose felt strange, but retreated into the distance. I took out all the explosives from my body and threw them in front of me, and the skeleton puppet ignored the explosives and moved on. I've got an detonation crystal in my hand. "Hey, hey! See who of us explains a little more! "Smile and activate the crystal.
Rumble! A loud bang shook violently throughout the temple, and the floor of the room collapsed entirely, and the shockwave destroyed the entire square, and even the surrounding walls collapsed. Rose had taken a distance beforehand and shielded her with her shield, and the Eternal Sword had been sent by me to turn into a ball of steel to protect her in the middle, and she was still not lightly injured.
After the shaking ended, I felt a burning pain all over my body, and I felt like I had been roasted by fire! I rested in the ruins for a while before I recovered. I tried hard to get myself out from under the rubble, but I found that the things on my body didn't move. It seems that the thing weighing on me weighs at least a few tons, and if it weren't for the armor supporting me, I would have been flattened.
"Phoenix Dragon!"
"Squeak!" Familiar voices appeared outside, and it seemed that the space blockade had disappeared.
"Phoenix Dragon. Get them out of the lucky ones and dig me out! ”
Suddenly there were several loud noises outside, and the stones that were pressing on my body suddenly flew out, and luckily the big head appeared above my head. "Master, are you alright? What just happened? The guardian collars on several of us suddenly frantically drained our lives, almost killing us! ”
"Don't talk about it, dig me out first! My leg is still stuck in it! ”
On the other side, the plague carefully pulled the large rocks off my body, and luck quickly pulled me out. As soon as I came out, I found that my whole body could not move, and my hands and feet were as soft as noodles. Xiao Chun, Ling, and Ayana were summoned together to help me heal. After several treatments, my wound was completely healed.
The one I relied on to make the explosion just now was the Guardian Collar, and when my health was low, the Guardian Collar would absorb the life of the Demon Pet to replenish me. And this attribute doesn't take distance into account unless it's specifically restricted by a closed spell. That puppet is very powerful, though. But he always has to have a defensive ceiling. After the shell was destroyed, his protective ability should have decreased significantly, and although I was weak at the time, the defense of the demon dragon armor did not decrease, and there was also mercury shield protection. The damage of the explosion consumed all my lives and began to consume the lives of my pets, but my pets are numerous, and the ones like Lucky and Tank are blood cows, and their health is definitely enough. I was actually gambling when I detonated the explosives. I'm betting that my pets have more health than explosives, and that this skeleton puppet doesn't have the defenses it used to have. Now it seems that the first part has been triumphed, and the dynamite did not blow up. Winning the latter bet is not a big problem, and if you can summon a magic pet, you don't have to be afraid of anyone.
I suddenly remembered that I don't know where the rose is! Hurry up and contact Rose in private chat. "Rose, where are you?"
"I don't know! The roof collapsed when it exploded, and I was buried, but I don't know the exact location! ”
"Then you wait, I'll start digging right away."
"Okay."
Immediately commanded the demon pets to split up and start digging a few relatively large piles of rubble, and suddenly Lucky shouted, "This side moved." ”
I immediately ran over in excitement and frantically dug for stones. "Don't be afraid, Rose. I'm here to save you. "Digging and digging, suddenly the rubble moved, and a bare head stuck out." Rose ...... "Just about to shout, Rose suddenly stuck. I'm dizzy! I didn't dig up the rose and dug up the puppet!
"Stand back!" I shouted and stepped back.
The pile of rubble exploded. The skeleton puppet stood up from within. The guy didn't seem to have much damage other than being covered in dust, and there seemed to be something wrong with one of his four legs, as if it had been bent by a smash. His arm was also complete, his right arm was slightly deformed, and his left arm was only one section broken. And the two red eyes on his head are still lit up now, and the other one is constantly flashing with blue sparks, which is probably scrapped.
"Steel Claw, Tank, Plague, Little Three, Ling, the five of you stop him, and the others go and find out the rose."
The skeleton puppet looked at a few creatures in front of him, and suddenly he did something that came to mind. The guy turned around and ran, crashed through a wall into the back hallway, and then disappeared at the end of the hallway at a speed we didn't expect.
Ling, who was in charge of commanding the operation, looked at him in confusion in the direction of his escape, and was at a loss for what to do. "Lord...... Master? This one......? ”
"Forget it, leave him alone! All came back to help find someone. ”
"Over here." Bai Lang's nose is still the fastest to find the target.
We immediately went over and lifted the large stones, and then carefully cleaned the small stones. Soon a red ball was revealed, which was the protective layer of eternal change. Pushing off the stone, eternity turned into a small red ball and returned to my hand, and the rose crouched on the ground intact.
"Are you alright?"
"I was injured just now, but I've been healing myself for so long." Rose said as she helped me climb out of the rubble. "That's right. What happened to the skeleton puppet? Is it blown up? ”
"Nope. The guy only had a broken leg and a hand. ”
"And where is he now?"
"Ran away."
"Huh? What the? ”
"They were scared away by the plague."
"Does this thing know what to be afraid of?"
"I don't know. Just now he arched under the rubble, I thought it was you, but when I dug it out, it was him. After seeing us, he didn't hesitate for a second to turn around and run, which was faster than Nightshade! ”
"You defeated him anyway." Rose looked around. "It was as if we had blown up the whole square. This should be under the square. It seems that the upper floor of the square is gone, you are really a king of destruction! ”
I laughed and said, "Destruction is the father of construction, and there is no construction without destruction." "I shouted at the ceiling." Feed! Shrinking Turtle, your right-hand man has already been paid by us, is there anything else powerful? ”
"Don't be arrogant, even if you defeat my men, they won't find me."
"Haha! Sure enough, it's a shrunken turtle, and if you lose, you just know how to hide. Rose began to irritate him again.
But this time it seems that it is not going to work, this guy is obviously very tolerant. "Don't provoke me, I'll come out. This is called strategic avoidance, not timidity. Guys who don't have brains are reckless! ”
"It doesn't matter, if you don't come out, I'll tear down the temple. Someday I'll dig you out. ”
"Stop dreaming. You've been wandering around the perimeter of the temple until now, and the real core is made of materials that protect the God's seal, and not even you, nor the gods, can destroy the temple. ”
"Then let's give it a try!"
Rose took my hand and said, "Open the map." "I immediately called up the stereoscopic map. Rose smiled and said, "I've finally come up with useful information." ”
"Huh?" The voice was stunned.
I also smiled and said, "You yourself said how strong the core is, and we've been walking around the perimeter." That means you're in the heart of this temple, and that's what you say. "No, no, I was wrong. Not counted. "This guy is playing like a child.
We left him alone and looked down at the map. Sure enough, the places we walked through were all peripheral areas, and the real core areas had not been visited. According to the map, we should go up and forward to get to the core. Put away the map and magic pets, and only bring a few small magic pets, in case you encounter a place where summoning is forbidden again, there are a few emergency ones around.
This time, I walked the corridor, and I encountered the wall and demolished the wall all the way, and it was a turn anyway. Along the way, I knew how many walls I had torn down, and I quickly arrived at the core area, and after breaking through the last layer of walls, I recognized this as the core area at a glance. It was so special, a giant block floating in the hollow in the center of the temple. There was no connection to the surrounding walls in all directions, and the thing was literally floating.
"There's such a thing." I sighed.
Rose was also beside her and said, "It's so big! This is like a skyscraper floating in the air! ”
"Did anyone see the door there?" Xiao Chun asked.
"I don't know!"
I waved my hands to the sides, "Spread out." Go find the entrance. ”
Several humanoid pets and Bai Lang and two smaller phoenixes flew out and began to search, the darts bouncing back and forth between the walls and the core area and moving upwards, and soon reached the top. After a while, everyone came back except for the darts, and no one noticed the entrance, this thing is completely closed! The dart finally jumped off the top, and the phantom translated his words that there was a strange place on the top that could be an entrance. We climbed to the top of this giant cube, and there was an altar-like thing.
I came to the vicinity and took a closer look at the altar, which was a small altar with only more than 200 green meters. In the middle of the altar is a stone platform with a height of about one meter and two. In the middle of this stone platform is a round clock dial, which is very similar to my needleless disc, the only difference is that this one has hands. With the experience of the temple gates, we all learned well, and immediately began to look for arithmetic problems. But it's a pity. We searched all over the altar and found nothing. Isn't this one of those mechanisms?
Rose tried to move the dial, and she could actually pick it up. At this time, the time display on the dial is twelve o'clock, and it is obvious that it needs to be set to the right position to turn it on. Jingjing is now of a higher level, and her body is like a big girl. But the personality is still like a child. She squatted on the ground and looked up, but he found that there were words under the dial. We immediately turned the dial over, and it turned out that the writing was all in magic script, and everyone knew it.
"I'd better do it!" Ling took the dial and read it. "The key that opens the door of time is time."
"Nothing?" I looked at Ling and asked.
"Yes! That's it. ”
"What kind of hint is that?"
Rose said: "Don't worry, there is already a lot of content in this sentence. This is a riddle of three sets of meanings. The first part of the previous 'Open the Gate of Time' is supposed to refer to the entrance. 'The key of the gate of time' is the second sentence, since it is the gate of time, it is illusory, so the key must be a physical object but some kind of condition. Finally, 'the key is time', which is certainly the key to the answer. But I didn't understand the specific meaning of the part where the key is time, it seems to say that the door is opened with time, but I don't know when to open the door! ”
"I see!" I walked over and took the dial and put it into the groove. Then I looked at the system time and set the dial to the current time. With a click, the stone platform suddenly began to sink down into the altar. Looks like my guess was correct.
"Time is the key, that's how it was understood!" Rose sighed as she watched the mechanism activate.
The stone platform sank until it was level with the ground, and with another click, eight pillars rose around the altar at the same time. These pillars have a round hole on the side facing the center of the altar, and it seems that they also have dials.
Rose and I walked over to one of the pillars and looked at it. There are also words written on this pillar, and the result of Ling's translation is: "Give me eternal time, give you eternal strength." "What do you mean?"
I don't know. Let's take a look at the other pillars first! ”
After turning around, it turned out that all the characters on the pillars were basically the same, with the only difference being the last two words. In the order in which we looked, the last two words on the eight pillars were: "Strength, Agility, Physique, Spirit, Will, Charisma, Luck, and Wisdom." ”
"It seems to be our 8 major attributes!" Rose said after reading this text.
"I can also see that we only have a gold plate without needles, what are we going to do with 8 pillars?"
"Here is obviously for us to pick 8 columns, but to pick one of them. Your disc should be the start switch. ”
"So which one do we choose?"
Rose said: "I estimate that these choices will affect our next route, and it is possible that the monsters that will come out later will choose based on this choice, so we must be cautious." ”
"Of course, I know to be cautious, but I don't know what these things are for."
Xiao Chun suddenly said, "The Temple of Light used to have a gambling corridor. Choose one of the four items and the selected items will not appear in the hallway. This is probably the same principle, just change the form of the table. ”
Rose immediately said, "That means which pillar we chose." After encountering a ground monster, it will not have the same perk as written on the pillar. ”
I looked at the pillars around me again. "How about we choose to be lucky? Wouldn't it be nice to meet a monster with extreme luck? ”
"Or choose wisdom, right? It's easy to deal with stupidly! ”
Amenis interjected, "Pick the will, right?" The monster is weak-willed, wouldn't it be easier for me to scare him away with a few illusions? ”
Xiao Chun said: "I think it's better to choose the spirit, the monster's mental power is poor, and the overall strength is difficult to play." ”
Ling Dao: "Let's choose the system!" The system is poor and the resistance is not good, so I can do it with two evil qi pollution. ”
Ayana said: "I think the strength is good. The monster has poor strength, and we can play him to death in melee combat. ”
Jingjing said: "It's better to choose agility, right?" Monsters without agility are slow, we can run and fight, and we can always get killed. ”
Dizzy! In addition to the charm, there are all candidates. It's certain that you don't choose charm, monsters are ugly if they don't have charm, and that won't help us!
"Each of you has one opinion, how can I choose!"
Ling suddenly said, "I have a way to copy a gold plate, maybe we can choose two." ”
"Can you copy?"
"Yes. There is a holographic mirror technique in dark magic that can create an identical entity. There is no difference between the two objects within the time limit, and it is absolutely true and false. ”
"Why did you tell me earlier, I would have known that you would have copied a few magic crystal cannons and taken them out to cheat money."
Ling Dao: "Impossible. Holographic mirrors are garbage magic, which will move the position of the real thing while making the price, so even the maker can't be sure which one is a fake, and as soon as the time is up, the fake will disappear immediately. Because you can't distinguish between the real and the fake, you can't guarantee that what you sell is the price, maybe the real one will outweigh the loss! ”
"Dizzy! It doesn't matter anyway now, you can copy it. By the way, how many can you copy? ”
"Holographic mirroring can only be used once on an object within a certain period of time."
"That's fine, at least there's one more option." I turned around and asked Rose. "Two, how to choose?"
"Let's vote?" Rose actually came up with such an ism.
The two winning bids in the voting results are will and intelligence, and everyone analyzes that if the monster has low intelligence and weak will, it is very easy to scare. Anyway, he is weak-willed and simple-minded, and he can't distinguish between truth and falsehood. Any monster is easy to deal with under such conditions, unless this monster has the ability to kill us in one hit before we find him, of course, such a monster is impossible.
Ling copied an identical gold plate, and we loaded both pieces into the column at the same time. The pillar containing the disc immediately sank into the ground, and then the center of the altar suddenly began to sink down again, and a passage soon appeared on the ground. The entrance finally appeared.
"Roar!" A deafening sound came from the cave, and all we could feel was a flower in front of us, and a giant creature jumped out of the hole. The cave closed as soon as the monster came out, and it turned out that this was not an entrance but an exit!
This monster resembles a hairless gorilla, and is unusually strong. It came out with the slightest pause, and slammed its fist at the crystal closest to him. Jingjing blocked it with her shield in a panic, and the huge force immediately knocked Jingjing flying. Thanks to this Jingjing, if the others have already been killed. The monsters made out of these pillars should be balanced, and if a certain strength is reduced, there will definitely be other attributes to fill it. The monster in front of it has no intelligence and weak will, and as a result, it gains super speed and super strength.
In the blink of an eye, the monster that had knocked the crystal away rushed towards me again. "Ling, add fear to it!"
For a dark god of Ling's level, the entry-level black magic of the Fear Technique must be very handy, and he didn't even have to prepare, Ling immediately shouted out. "I wouldn't do that low-level magic!"
Bang! What a miscalculation! I was punched in the face, and I felt a tight grip on my chest and flew out.
"It's up to you, Emmenes." I spread my wings and steadied myself in the air.
Amenis placed 12 identical apparitions in front of me in one go, and the single monster rushed up seemingly unaffected. This guy doesn't seem to be looking at things with his eyes at all, and the illusion doesn't work for it.?
Ayana suddenly hit the monster's head with a water ball, and the moment the water ball came into contact with it, the water ball suddenly turned into an ice ball, and the monster's head was frozen in the ice. But this ice ball only lasted for a second before it was shattered, and the monster in front of it was obviously the product of unilateral ability enhancement to the limit, and the physical and magical attacks were not very effective!
Our initial thoughts seem to be a bit flawed, and creatures with low intelligence are stupid, but it's not easy to deceive. It is because their intelligence is so low that their understanding of things is completely different from ours, and it is useless for us to deceive highly intelligent beings by deceiving them.
