Chapter 18: Despair

Located at the junction of the Death Hills and the Twin Snake Mountains, the Snake Dance Manor is theoretically a leveling area for players between level forty and fifty, compared to the outlying areas of the Death Hills that are flooded with monsters under level thirty-five. When the player's level is mainly around thirty, only a large team can deal with the hordes of monsters here, and everyone knows that the experience provided by the team is less than one percent of that of a squad or even an individual. In order to prepare for the upcoming competitive conference, the players of "God Realm" are basically keen on leveling up, so there is basically no shadow of players here.

Today, however, this is a completely different place, as a flood of players wearing uniform markers has flooded into the area, slashing down any monsters that show signs of posing a threat to passers-by from Qulam to Serpent Dance Manor. That's right, they are the basic main force of the second largest trade union in the "God Realm" [Destruction God Corps].

I instigated the White Tiger Meiyou to rush to Hannah's side and asked, "Hannah, how much time do you have left to get to the Snake Dance Manor?" ”

Hannah made an apologetic look at me, "Turtledove, I think it's going to take a while." The closer we get to the Snake Dance Manor, the higher the level of the monsters, and the higher the density, if we can maintain the current speed, it is estimated that we will be able to reach the Snake Dance Manor in ten to fifteen minutes, but I think the speed of the team is getting slower and slower now, and I am afraid that we will have to multiply it by two on the time just now. ”

"No, I don't think it's too late at such a speed." I frowned.

Hannah clamped the horse between her legs to make it go a little faster to keep pace with me, and then she turned to me and asked, "Turtledove, I don't know why you are in such a hurry to gather everyone and rush to the Serpent Dance Manor." Anyway, there's nothing else going on right now. You might as well explain it to me. ”

I looked at the night sky far ahead, "I think Zaror is in the Snake Dance Manor right now, and is in a hot fight with the Snake Dance Manor's master, the Spell Fire Master, Nala, we must get there before Nala kills Zanor, and find the 'Fallen Dust' from his corpse." ”

"Why don't you stay in the Hills of Death, why did you come to the Serpent Dance Manor, and you have to fight with the Spelling Fire Master Nala? I can't figure it out. Hannah said she couldn't understand what I was saying.

I smiled, "Don't laugh when you say it." Actually, that's what I think. Zanoel is a fat man, and you know that fat people are gluttonous food, and Zanoel is no exception. From what I've learned, his favorite food is the unicorn that Nala keeps in her private petting zoo at Snake Dance Manor. Zanore had just fought a big battle with us, and his physical exertion was so great that his desire to eat became greater, and the hungrier a person was, the easier it was to think of his favorite food. So, my guess is that Zanoel will rush to the Serpent Dance Manor to steal Nala's unicorn after defeating us. And Nala likes to go for a walk around nine o'clock in her zoo, and the two of them are old enemies. Nala will be furious when she sees Zanore stealing her beloved unicorn, and the two of them will definitely fight each other. All we have to do is get there in the slot before Nala kills Zanore and picks up all the items he drops, and make a profit. ”

"Very fresh idea." Hannah listened carefully to what I said and nodded, but she immediately had a new question: "This Zanoel loves to eat Nola's unicorn, and Nala likes to visit her zoo at nine o'clock in the evening, where did you hear about it?" Why haven't I heard it mentioned before? ”

The previous message is something I heard with my own ears, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, but what about the latter one? If it was just a dream, why would I believe it? I can't tell, maybe I'm desperate. This is my last chance, and if that's not true, then I'll have to use my last magic weapon, Becky's Elixir. I'm running out of time, and once tonight is over, I only have five days left to do this task, and tonight I must obtain the "Fallen Dust".

I could only say to Hannah, "Dead horses should be live horse doctors, and it's always right to try." My concern now is that Nala will get Zanor out of the way before we arrive. And pick up the items he drops, so that we may have to face a boss that may be more perverted than Zanor. You know, Nala has fifty-one levels. ”

"I think you're right." Hannah suddenly raised her head to the night sky above, and I followed suit, only to see a huge meteorite wrapped in a fiery red flame, dragging a long trail of smoke, piercing the sky and falling into the distance where we were heading. A few seconds later, with a loud bang and a slight tremor of the earth beneath our feet, I saw in the distance that the Snake Dance Manor, the destination of our trip, was lit up by a burst of firelight.

"So be it." I thought about it for a while, and came up with a plan on the fly, "People with high movement speed should be in the front team and keep moving at a high speed." The monsters that come to hinder us on the road can be thrown away, and those who can't be thrown away will be left a little to delay time. After we arrived at the Snake Dance Manor, our rear team turned into a front team and sniped all the monsters outside the manor gate. The main force entered the manor to kill Zanoor. Now speed comes first, and the brothers who stayed behind to drag on the time had to grieve them. When the task is completed, give them some gold coins as compensation. ”

"It seems that this is the only way." Hannah sighed, "Actually, as long as this can be successful, it is better than us fighting Zanoel in the concentration." ”

Once the plan has been decided, the only way to do it is to resolutely implement it. Fortunately, the vast majority of the members of the [God Destroyer Legion] regard completing this task as their first pleasure, and think that it is okay to make some sacrifices to complete the task. Soon, our main force arrived outside the gates of the Snake Dance Manor. I saw that the entire manor was in ruins from the door to the place where the eye could see, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. There were mutilated corpses and broken weapons everywhere, and I and everyone else present were stunned.

"Someone got ahead of the game?" The pants screamed, then turned over and dismounted, walked to a corpse on the ground, turned it over, carefully observed the clothes on this person's body, and then raised his head and said to us with a dead face, "Brothers, this corpse is left behind by the people of the [Seven Star Society]. ”

"It can't be!" I screamed, "The treasure of Alonso the Dragon Slayer is the only mission, and only one mercenary regiment can carry out this mission in the same time period, which means that unless we fail the mission, no one else can receive this mission." Pants, are you mistaken? ”

"Then the corps logo of the [Seven Star Society] on this person's clothes is fake, and I may still admit the logo of other trade unions, but boss, this is the logo of the [Seven Star Society], how can I be mistaken? If you don't believe it, come and see for yourself. He said puffed up, as if he was upset that I didn't believe in his eyesight.

"It's too much of a coincidence." I can't figure it out, "What are the people from the [Seven Star Society] here to stir up troubled waters?" ”

Hannah was calmer and said to me, "I suggest we go to the zoo at the back of the manor for ourselves." Before Hannah finished speaking, Aze had already begun to deploy: "All the personnel dismounted, took out their weapons, and maintained a state of first-level alert. Each class starts to replenish buffs in small groups, and the priests take care to use detection magic and not let go of any corners that may harbor enemies. Maintain your battle formation, but please be careful not to take any offensive action without an order. The battle situation ahead is unclear, so we should be vigilant, save ourselves, and be prepared for a protracted war. ”

As he spoke, the earth suddenly trembled violently. I saw six pillars of light, red, blue, yellow, white, green, and purple rising into the sky not far from the back of the manor, disappearing into the endless night sky.

"What the is this?" Pants asked, struggling to lift his head and twist his neck.

"Looks like a symphony of elements." Flea looked at the night sky where the six white lights disappeared, and said a little distractedly.

"What the hell is the Elemental Symphony?" Panties continued to ask.

"A high-level magic that consists of six specialized mages who are proficient in the six major systems of fire, electricity, water, earth, wind, and light, and at the same time consumes all of their own blood and blue and transforms them into destructive magical energy." Flea explained slowly.

"I still don't get it." The pants scratched his head. Indeed, as close relatives of the dwarven clan who don't understand magic at all, the dwarf's ability to understand magic is also good enough.

Flea shook his head, as if he was helpless, but continued to explain to his pants in his mouth: "To put it simply, it is six mages with high cultivation who cast a very powerful magic by committing suicide. ”

"Six mages committed suicide...... Not...... Then the power of this spell must be terrifying. The pants snapped their tongues.

"That's right. All creatures within a five-kilometer radius centered on the location where the spell is cast will take damage between 50,000 and 100,000 points. Flea glanced at his pants, "Do you have so much blood?" No, so you have to die. We all have to die. ”

……

Suddenly a sun appeared in the dark night, and unlike the sun that brought life and hope during the day, although this sun was equally dazzling, the place where the sun touched was lifeless.

"You took 76,458 elemental damage, and you're hanging. Since you are now under the effects of the experience curse, the experience you lose will be deducted when you lift the curse. ”

Hopeless? Is this despair? Yes, this is despair.
