Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ultimate Trap - Never Die
It's dawn.
The third day of entering the world of Dragon War has finally arrived.
Compared to the cruelty and intensity of the previous two days, the Broken Blade team was much more elegant and calm in the last 24 hours of this mission.
Since there were still 12 hours of non-war time, it was rare for everyone to sleep lazily during the mission, until Shen Yi knocked on the door one by one and called the slackers out of bed one by one, and then they washed up collectively and went downstairs for breakfast.
Pouring himself a glass of milk, Shen Yi suddenly said, "Wuxue is dead." ”
Everyone froze at the same time.
The gentle champagne has been brought to the lips and put down: "...... Pity. ”
The planned reinforcements failed to help, Hercules was ruthless, and once he found out that something was wrong, he immediately waved the butcher's knife, even the Broken Blade team could not help, and the only consolation was that at least he did not become the enemy of the Broken Blade team.
"We hurt him. King Kong sighed and put a piece of bread into his mouth.
If they hadn't had a fight last night, maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this all of a sudden.
Hong Lang stuffed a piece of fried egg into his mouth: "The road is his own, and his life is his own choice, I don't believe he didn't have this consciousness before making this decision......"
Then he looked up and shouted to the waiter, "I said, two more omelettes, two, not two!"
It seems that Wuxue's death did not affect his appetite, and Hong Lang was as heartless as ever.
"So what do we do next?" asked gently.
"Then it depends on whether Wuxue caused any trouble to each other before they died. "King Kong Interface: "At present, there are fifteen people in the Purgatory Sect, eight in the ash chariot, three in the first team, and four in the second team. Among them, the Ash Chariot is the strongest, the first team has the power against our hole cards, and the second team is not familiar with the strength. Whoever dies will benefit us. As long as we die two or three, then our chance will come. ”
Hong Lang sneered and shook his head: "Even so, there is still no possibility of winning in a head-to-head battle, just one Hercules is enough for us to have a headache." ”
He'd fought Hercules and knew too well the horrors of this guy.
Sometimes, the data is just monotonous data, which looks inconspicuous and has to be experienced to feel it.
Because Hercules's skills are never flashy, at first glance, it is just that the offense and defense are higher, and only when you really come into contact can you understand the feeling of being crushed by the huge gap behind it.
He doesn't have the sharp swordsmanship of Wuxue, he doesn't have Shen Yi's ever-changing tactics, he is not as good at control as King Kong, and he doesn't have a gentle high attack frequency, there are only two things that support him.
Powerful and strong defense.
However, these two things make him a humanoid fortress-like existence, and the attacks of ordinary adventurers are tickling to him, and his random blows are fatal and terrifying to others.
With a defense of up to 200 points, he is equivalent to immunity to the damage of all skills below level C, and his unarmed attacks are as high as 400 points, so that no one can resist his three punches and two kicks, and Ah Kai and Zhuang Yu are the best examples.
If it's just a simple attack, it's just high. For a long time, normal attacks have been affected by three aspects: power exertion, hit rate and block neutralization, resulting in the same 300-point attack, and the actual effect of ordinary attacks is much lower than the effect of skills.
But with the Blade of Judgment, Hercules' horror was truly brought to the extreme. The Blade of Judgment's range-defying attack modifier greatly increases the accuracy of normal attacks, making it difficult to dodge Hercules' attacks unless he has a speed like Gentleness, so the horror of his high attacks is truly manifested.
Therefore, at this moment, as soon as Hong Lang mentioned Hercules' name, everyone had a headache.
Shen Yi said leisurely: "Hercules is very powerful, but it is not invincible. The important thing is that he has shortcomings...... Remember what I said to you on the first day I entered the mission world?"
"What?" This time, not only Zhuang Yu was puzzled, but even Wen Rou and the others didn't understand.
Shen Yi replied: "I said...... Hercules is strong, but because he is strong, he is always willing to use his power to solve problems, even if he knows there are traps, he will jump into them. The Alternate Dimension Killing Array is the best example. But apparently, this trap is not strong enough to destroy Hercules. So if we set a more powerful trap, maybe we won't be able to fool him, but he will still step into it. Because he doesn't care, because he's strong, he's confident, he's proud, that's his only weakness. I say...... There was a trap that he wouldn't even need me to dig up, he would dig it out and jump into it. ”
At that time, everyone didn't take this too seriously, until Shen Yi used a different dimensional killing array to truly verify Shen Yi's character of "Hercules will step on it even if he knows that there is thunder".
At that time, they regarded this killing array as a trap for Shen Yi to deal with Hercules, but now it seems that he is not referring to a different dimensional killing array at all.
Zhuang Yu asked, "What kind of trap?"
Shen Yi sighed: "This trap is the conflict between the second main quest and the optional quest. ”
He looked at everyone and said slowly, "According to the requirements of this mission, if you want to complete the optional mission, you must give up the second main mission. Do you know what that means?"
Wen Wen thought for a moment and replied, "Does it mean that the optional quest and the main quest are actually contradictory?"
"One step further!" Shen Yi reminded her.
Everyone racked their brains together, but they couldn't figure out what the traps were.
Shen Yi shook his head helplessly: "It means that if one party completes the optional task, then the other party can complete the main task." ”
As soon as Shen Yi said this, everyone paused at the same time.
Yes, since the second main quest conflicts with optional quests, and the quests of both factions are opposite, when one side completes the optional quest, it actually means that the other side can complete the main quest.
In this respect, the two camps themselves can be a win-win situation.
But what does Shen Yi mean by mentioning this matter at this moment?
King Kong looked at Shen Yi, suddenly realized something, and shouted: "You mean Hercules will take the initiative to choose optional tasks?"
Shen Yi had a satisfied smile on his face: "You finally understand?"
At this time, everyone came to their senses at the same time, and Ah Kai had already shouted: "You mean, Hercules will deliberately let us complete the second main quest, and then take the initiative to challenge the good dragon Imoji...... And then ......"
Gentleness also said: "Then we are equivalent to having a powerful assistant, and we are no longer weaker than the other party in terms of strength gap." We can even wait until they lose both sides before taking advantage of the opportunity......"
Zhuang Yu immediately shook his head: "He won't do this." ”
"No, he would, and he would, and he couldn't wait to jump into this pit. Shen Yi replied: "People like Hercules are arrogant by nature, they love to challenge the limit, and they will not let go of optional tasks easily. And for him, it was no longer just a question of optional tasks, but of the opportunity to kill us. Just as he knew that the Other-Dimensional Killing Array was a trap, he still stepped into it without hesitation, because he knew that only in this way could he have a chance to fight us head-on. Not to mention ......"
He looked at everyone: "After the completion of the first main quest, we have the right to return to the city. Hercules is well versed in the secrets of the Innocent Plague, and he knows that after using the Innocent Plague, the system will tilt the victim to a certain extent, so he will definitely try to keep us. And the only way to keep us is to give us a chance to turn defeat into victory. ”
Zhuang Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Are you saying that in order to prevent us from returning, Hercules will deliberately put himself in a desperate situation and lead us to kill him, just to have a chance to kill us?"
"That's right!" Shen Yi nodded: "This is the final trap I said, Hercules...... He's going to do it. ”
"But......," stammered Akai, "but we can ignore him." We'll hide for another 24 hours, and we'll be able to wait to return after completing the first mission. Why do you have to fight with them?"
"Because just as I know him, he understands me!" replied Shen Yi.
Zhuang Yu and Ah Kai sighed in their hearts: "You won't ......"
"I will!" Shen Yi replied categorically: "This is a trap that works for Hercules, but it is also a trap that works for me." Neither he nor I will miss this opportunity to kill our opponents. Hercules will give me the opportunity to harness the power of the dragon, and I am by no means the kind of person who will sit back and watch the opportunity fly away. ”
Shen Yi's voice became low and hoarse: "So, whether it's him or me, we won't leave this war until later...... There will only be one of us who will make it out of this world alive!"
Zhuang Yu shook his head again and again: "No, no, I won't do it! I will return immediately after completing the first main story, and I will definitely not fight to the death with Hercules." Even with the help of Imoji, I will never fight this guy!"
He already has a serious psychological disorder with Hercules, so he is absolutely unwilling to fight Hercules again.
Shen Yi said leisurely: "What about Bei Ming, did he die in vain?"
Zhuang Yu and Ah Kai were stunned at the same time.
―――――――――――
In a hotel on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
Hercules spoke in a deep tone: "Cage is dead, Claudia is dead, Adolf is dead...... Although Shen Yi gave us 12 hours to chase and kill, as long as they wanted to hide, we actually had no chance to find them again. Although the unjustified disaster allows us to have the advantage of troops, the system will also give the other party some additional compensation, if nothing else, after the end of the first main story, they will have the right to return. In this case, in order to keep the opponent, you will have to make some special choices...... We had no choice but to abandon the second main story and choose the optional quest to engage the good dragon Imoji. So with the character of a person like Shen Yi, he will definitely jump out and pick up the bargain. ”
"But we're in danger. Meryl said worriedly.
Hercules replied angrily: "You think there is no chance of victory, how can he take the initiative to bubble?"
Things have developed to this point, and a lot has to do with Meryl's arrest. Hercules was resentful, even if the other party was a sect saint and had a high status, he would be merciless in his reprimand.
At this moment, he said word by word: "If you want to set a trap, you have to pay the bait!"
Mo Lun also frowned: "But this bait is too big, it will send us in." ”
Hercules replied proudly: "We have always lived on the line of death, and we have no courage to face danger, so what can we call adventurers? In the end, this war will still rely on fists and strength to decide life and death! Even if there is a good dragon Imoji to help them, it does not mean that they will become the final victors." ”
Angelo Libez had already stood up: "Hercules, you are the first heir of the family, you can't take any chances!"
Hercules' eyes showed a look of fanaticism: "The family has died an heir, and naturally there will be another successor." And an enemy like this, if you miss it once, you may never have a chance again. Even if I die, I will also have a vigorous battle with Shen Yi!"
For Hercules, death has never been something to be feared.
――――――――――
At the same time, in front of the hotel dining table, Shen Yi said leisurely: "Rational thinking does not mean that there will be no blood impulse. As long as he Hercules dares to play bait, I, Shen Yi, will never mind playing with him. Life and death are the daily routines that adventurers have to face, and retreating and fearing before death is never the work of the brave. The Broken Blades have been on the run long enough, and from now on, it's time for a Jedi Strike Back. ”
"This battle begins with the destruction of the dragon army. ”
As Shen Yi's words fell, there was a faint sound of war drums in the distance.
It was the Dragon Legion that sounded the horn of attack, and after completing the assembly, the Evil Dragon Legion from the dark world finally launched a full-scale attack on the human world, and a real war was in full swing at this moment.
