Regarding this question, Cheng Whistle Feng also had to ask Zero.

"Zero, when does a player go offline, under what circumstances will his clone act on its own?"

[Zero: "Master, the clone produced by the Cataclysm Base is essentially a soulless body, when the player goes offline, the clone is like a vegetative person, there is no reaction to the outside world, only the instinct of the body remains, and all kinds of passive skills representing muscle memory can basically be triggered, but as long as the players don't wear helmets, there will be no action, but." 】

[Zero: "But a soulless body is very fragile in terms of spirit, and it is almost impossible to resist spiritual attacks, and if you encounter some evil spells that manipulate the body, it is easy to be hit. ”】

Cheng Xuanfeng was thoughtful, and then asked: "We can't control the signals of the players over there, is it possible that other players are linking to these offline clones through unknown means?" ”

[Zero: "It's basically impossible, because the player's soul is bound to the clone, and every upgrade and evolution of the clone is synchronized with the soul, even if you want two players to swap bodies. It is impossible, they will have physical confusion due to the mismatch of memory and muscles, and even directly collapse physically. ”】

"Well, okay, then I see"

Since the possibility of player operation has been ruled out, only the original monsters of the Eastern Battlefield remain. Ethereal!

Shadow Guard 2 is stationed in Canterlot, and after doing a good job of basic formation defense, he goes to the Canterlot Library to read books when he has nothing to do, and he even joins an organization called the Truth Society, and he can see a lot of treasured books of mankind by paying a fee.

These books that can only be watched for a fee are the essence of human beings!

There are not only some important materials from before the Wasteland Age, but also some major news and achievements from the past 400 years.

Cheng Xianfeng also learned a lot of knowledge about the world from literature.

Among them, there is a book called "The Dilemma of Mankind", which elaborates on the current situation and the characteristics of the enemy in the four major battlefields.

Among them, some information about the Eastern Battlefield came to Cheng Xianfeng's mind.

"Ethereal spirit, just a general term for all disembodied enemies in the Eastern Battlefield, which can be divided into many kinds, and new types of disembodied monsters have continued to appear over the years."

"Most of them are invisible to the naked eye, and they are mainly virtual attacks, so that human beings fall into an illusion, die of mental disorders, and the dead often face great torture, and the form after death is very terrifying!"

"And the way to defend this kind of disembodied monster is completely different from the zombies in the northern battlefield and the zerg in the southern battlefield, unable to form a unified line of defense, can only focus on cities and strongholds, and use the divine blessing and prayer technique inherited by [Oath] to protect their cities from the attack of ethereal spirits, except for human strongholds, all places are dangerous places!"

"Soldiers fighting in the Eastern Battlefield may not have outstanding martial arts, but they must have firm faith and iron will, otherwise they will be assimilated and polluted in that environment, and eventually die or. Become a monster. ”

"In this case, it is very likely that the players will be invaded by the ethereal spirit when they go offline, their bodies will be manipulated out of control, and then they will be recognized as 'monsters' by the people defending the city, no matter what form they maintain, they are the enemies of humans, so the peak team will be attacked by both ethereal spirits and humans."

After Cheng Whistle finished reasoning about this, he also had a headache.

"This may also be surmised by the players, as the norm in the Eastern Battlefield this is normal, but players think that this is a game, that. It's too unreasonable that the body can move on its own after going offline. ”

Soon, the Human Alliance received Cheng Whistlefeng's request and sent someone to send a message to the city of the Eastern Battlefield to use special equipment to test the 10 people of the peak team.

"San value is normal."

"The body is functioning normally."

"No Hidden Ethereal Breath"

"After the test, welcome back to Soul Town."

The captain of the city's defense is a curly-haired gray-eyed man, who inherits the [Oath], and is a powerful fourth-order professional, and everyone calls him Nangong Divine Envoy.

The thin dog shook his hand: "We are sorry for what happened yesterday, we were invaded by the ethereal spirit in our sleep, and those soldiers who died because of us, we are willing to privately contribute a sum of money to their families and bury them well." ”

The Nangong Divine Envoy patted him on the shoulder.

"The Human Alliance will compensate their families, if you are willing to give more, go to the logistics department to register, and don't have too much psychological pressure, this kind of thing often happens but you can break free from the control of the ethereal, 10 people can find their own selves together, this is the first time I have seen it."

"I made these 10 talismans, hold them and put them on my body, be careful, since the ethereal spirit can invade you for the first time, it will definitely come a second time."

The pinnacle team took 10 yellow talismans from the hands of the Nangong Divine Envoy, with some incomprehensible symbols drawn on them, exuding a faint soft energy.

"I'm going to pray for today, are you going?"

"Let's not go for now, let's discuss defensive countermeasures." The thin dog politely refused.

The Nangong Divine Envoy nodded, left here, and went to the Three Witches Temple in the city center, where a large number of believers were praying.

The soldiers stationed there were no need to patrol the walls with other human cities on the defensive lines, and their daily task was to pray, pray in shifts.

In the sky above Soul Town, there was a faint fire-gold shield looming, constantly rippling, and if you looked closely, it was a hideous face crashing outside the shield

It seems that the ethereal spirit can't enter, but there is still a faint cyan mist floating in the city, which makes people feel eerie, and it seems to be some kind of special force field.

Only the Three Witches Temple does not have the presence of fog.

The pinnacle team assigns a charm to each person.

Demon Fox: "This thing is a consumable, and it is estimated that it can help us block an invasion of the void spirit, which is a fault tolerance."

Lin Tang rolled his eyes directly: "The map design of this eastern battlefield is really a bit sick, people can still be attacked if they go offline in the city?" Fortunately, the Ethereal Spirit didn't control us from committing suicide, otherwise we would have died just after we came."

At that meeting, Cheng Whistle explained to them what might happen on QQ, and the pinnacle team was sure that it wasn't a bug.

If you really go offline, you will die!

French fries: "Fortunately, we just had a meal and went online, I'm afraid that we will tear down the city later, and we won't be able to live by then, doesn't it mean that the end of the death will be very miserable?" ”

Polar Bear: "Can't we go offline in the future?" Or is it that everyone takes shifts offline? Others pay attention to the movement, protect their teammates, damn, that. It's too liver, isn't it? ”

Lao Ao: "Don't worry, since the planning is a game mechanism, there is a way to restrain it." ”

They actually have some speculation about this situation, and after confirming that it is not a bug with the planner, it is time to solve the problem

The 'Legendary Boredom', who had just joined the Pinnacle Squad, raised his hand.

"That. Brother Tang, I think the inside of the Three Witches Temple is quite clean, could it be that it is an absolute safe zone inside, let's just go offline from there? ”

At this moment, a huge energy rose from the temple, the golden light shone, the protective shield of the entire city became thicker, and the cyan mist shrouded in the city also dissipated a little.

"It should be the power of the Nangong Divine Envoy to pray. The guardians of the Eastern Battlefield, their fourth-order ability is the most restrained ethereal. ”

Oath Inheritance, Fourth-Order Talent: Channeling God.

It is said that every fourth-order professional who keeps the oath can talk to the three witch gods they inherit their beliefs, obtain a lot of information, and at the same time, they can also use part of the power of the gods, which is flexible and powerful.

Oath bearers, who are already good at praying, are best suited to defend against ethereal invasions.

So their legacy has always been stationed in the Eastern Battlefield.

"Let's go, let's see!"

The 10 people of the pinnacle team ran directly to the Three Witches Temple, where there were many soldiers in robes and metal helmets praying, wisps of fiery golden energy condensed in everyone's heads, rose, and floated into the air, protecting the city.

After entering the Temple of the Three Witches.

The 10 people were visibly lighter, and the eerie and icy aura disappeared.

The demon fox and the fries guarded, and the others went offline to rest for an hour, and there was no longer a phenomenon of being manipulated.

"It seems that this is the absolute safe zone for planning. There is a possibility that the city will be invaded by the ethereal breath, and the delirium will attack the friendly forces, and the outside of the city is a dangerous place, I estimate that as long as you go offline, the body will be directly taken over by the ethereal spirit."

The fine dog breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to have a safe point, otherwise it's really troublesome." ”

The demon fox looked around the Three Witch Temples and frowned.

"You find a problem that is not very small here, everyone is praying, there is not a lot of free space."

Fries: "It's okay if it's 10 of us here, but if other players come, there won't be a place for more people, and this is a place of prayer for NPC Oath Inheritance, I'm afraid I don't want to let a bunch of us lie here and sleep." ”

Lao Ao: "The thin dog still loves to snore"

Thin Dog: "What a word! What a word! Is this my love of snoring? My clone comes with a passive, okay! I can't control it! ”

While people were praying, a group of players were lying on the ground and snoring

It's outrageous to think about.

Demon Fox: "Looks like we haven't found a good way to fight the Ethereal invasion before we find it. A city on the Eastern Battlefield cannot accommodate too many players. ”

"I have to post a post to remind other players that a lot of people from the Southern Battlefield want to come here recently. It's better to go to the Western Battlefield to have a look, I heard that there is a shortage of people there. ”

At this time, Lin Tang stomped his feet.

"Okay, let's go!"

Everyone: "Why are you going?" ”

"Monster farming! We're not here to recite the scriptures with them, to defend the city. It's so boring, it's better to take the initiative, and the most important thing is that there is a theorem that you seem to forget. ”

Lao Bai asked blankly, "What theorem?" ”

Lin Tang smiled evilly.

"The antidote to the poison is often around it, the key prop against the invasion of the ethereal. It must also be in the ethereal spirit, and we have to find it! ”

The demon fox gave Lin Tang an approving look: "Indeed, Lin Tang is right, we have to find this cracked thing quickly, otherwise we won't be able to go out of the city at all, we can only rely on the Three Witch Temple, and the sub-base that the lord let us build will also become an ornament, which is not a safe base at all, I am afraid that when we die, the clone has just been made, and we have not been resurrected, and the void spirit will get into it first."

"Hiss~"

Everyone gasped, this kind of scene was too weird.

"Wait for me to go offline and make a post."

The thin dog lay on the ground with a crooked body.

The cyan mist outside seemed to sense the empty soul of the powerful body of the thin dog, and it was rushing towards this direction.

Colorful balls of energy condensed from the hands of the fries, ready to dispel the mist.

However, the fiery golden holy light emitted from the Three Witch Temples shone out, and the yin mist was directly dissolved, and it was impossible to move an inch at all.

This also reassures the players.

Lin Tang: "It's really a safe place here. We must come back before night comes. ”

At night, the ethereal spirit riots, the ability is greatly strengthened, and the human cities in the eastern battlefield will be closed and will definitely not go out.

"Alright, let's go!"

The fine dog is back online, and 10 people are fully equipped and walk out of the city.

[Debuff: Yin Qi possession, health recovery speed reduced by 20%, defense ability -50, take 3 elevation damage per second.] 】

The player's watch vibrates in unison.

It's a long-standing debuff outside the city that makes everyone's sixth sense lower and it's easy to ignore attacks from the fog.

It doesn't matter if the health is reduced, now high-level players are guaranteed to have a minimum of a few tens of health points per second, and a 20% reduction is enough to resist the continuous aether damage.

For melee players like Thin Dog and Lao Bai, their health regeneration per second is hundreds.

Not to mention the two legendary boring people and Wei Kunchen who rebounded the stream, their lives recovered more perverted.

"Sacrifice!"

"Sacrifice!"

The two of them walked in front of the group, opening their continuous range attack skills in unison, and the fire shone around them.

Ahhhh

There was a hissing sound in the air, and as the air distorted, some ethereal spirits of various forms were revealed, and they were scorched by the flames!

The legendary bored: "Our brothers' rebound equipment and high physical resistance can only be used as meat torches in the Eastern Battlefield." ”

Wei Kunchen: "Indeed. The monsters here are too aimed at us! Chill the breath! Dog plotters deliberately disgusting us bounce streams! ”

The Ethereals are immune to physical damage, and most of their reflected damage is unavailable.

Fortunately, the range magic damage + lighting effect of the general skill [Sacrifice] is quite useful, and the two are responsible for opening the way for the team.

French fries: "Arcane missile!" ”

He raised his staff, and diamond-shaped missiles refracted from it, hitting the burned ethereals around him.

A large amount of black smoke rose from the air, accompanied by the screams of the ethereal spirits.

[Kill the 'Yin Ghost' together, experience +16]

[Kill the 'Hanged Man' together, XP +17]

【Combined Kill】

The city is surrounded by some small ethereal spirits, which have been cleaned up by a few skills of the peak team.

Wisps of gray powder fell from the air.

"Gathering!"

Lao Ao opened one hand, sucked all the powder in the air into his right hand, and then put it into the glass bottle in his left hand.

The gray powder shone with a little cyan light.

"Hehe~ Don't say it, some of the general skills found by the fan girl seem to be wasted, but sometimes. It's really easy to use. ”

"These should be the drops of the Ethereal Spirit, and when I go back, I will decompose them and see what good things can come out."

They gradually walked towards the eerie jungle, and the level of the ethereal spirits became higher and higher.

And in the shadows of the jungle, several men wearing human alliance uniforms with cyan mist in their eyes turned their heads in unison and looked at the location of the pinnacle team.
