401. Mechanical bosses
"Captain! The Elite Monster of the Dead has strong field protection, and the blast bomb can't hurt it! A player gunner with a female voice, shouted in the midst of a burst of gunfire.
"It should be necessary to clear all the mobs before we can open the boss! All turn to fire! Don't waste bullets on that mini-boss! The player commander's voice was calm and calm.
With his command, the three barrels of the gun pointed at Li Nuo turned around and began to spit tongues of fire at the surrounding Mortal Skeleton Soldiers.
Li Nuo called up the system message in his mind.
Although he doesn't have the system interface, he can still tell how long it will take for "Cenati Power" to end from the dynamic countdown information on the system message.
Two minutes and ten seconds at most, and he will be able to regain his mobility.
The Dead Prayer Skeleton Soldier in the treasure room was stupid, only walking slowly towards the metal iron cage, raising his hands to make a pulling motion, which was not lethal.
It's obviously unrealistic to rely on these dumb little monsters to help you drag your time.
Sure enough, just as the countdown was about to reach zero, the last of the Dead Skeleton Soldiers was killed, reduced to charred slag.
Those star thieves and players who use the metal iron cage as a cover are very, very reluctant, even if the mobs are cleared, they can't hide in the metal iron cage.
The fighters inside the cage adjusted the layout of the firing window. They opened a few more windows on the side facing Li Nuo.
A total of 13 coarse blast guns were pointed at Li Nuo from a distance of about 50 meters.
"Don't shoot! Listen to what I have to say! The player commander shouted from inside the cage:
"No one is allowed to leave the combat module unless they hear my command. This combat pod has an anti-death erosion mezzanine, as long as we stay in it, the death erosion outside will not hurt us! In addition, when firing, fire should be carried out in accordance with the pre-arranged firing sequence, and it is not allowed to fire indiscriminately, and there must be no shooting window. Do you get it? ”
"Understood!" There was a chorus of shouts from the iron cage, and the number of players in it was about 8.
The star thieves in the iron cage may not understand the player's language, and shout loudly for the players to hurry up and stop grinding.
Players are too lazy to answer to the gang of star thieves.
They complete the self-test at the request of the commander.
After making sure everyone was ready, the player commander shouted:
"Try it with one shot, this boss shouldn't be difficult to beat!"
"Bang!"
A blast bomb trails the tail flame and rushes towards Li Nuo.
"Buzz!"
I saw that as soon as Li Nuo raised his hand, a transparent and invisible barrier was condensed in front of him, and the explosive bomb was fixed in mid-air.
The high-speed spin of the blaster is clearly visible, but it soon stops spinning under the effect of an invisible barrier, and then falls weakly and falls to the floor.
At this moment, the air in the treasure room was exceptionally quiet.
A uniform inhalation sound came from the metal cage.
"Shhhh
"[Blurted out expletive]! This boss can defend against bullets! This is in trouble! ”
"No, let's just say is there a mistake?! Didn't the intelligence say that this boss was an enhanced elite monster? The kind that can be pushed flat directly with firepower. But how can it defend against bullets that are so awesome as explosive skills?! Are we in the wrong place? ”
Neither the player nor the Star Thief seemed to expect the skeleton sitting on the throne to have such a hand...
Just as they were stunned, Li Nuo raised his right hand, and his fingers simply outlined a circle of mysterious lines in the air.
As he moved, the death energy of the black mist squirted out of him, surging in all directions like a tidal wave, encompassing the fragments of the corpse in the blink of an eye.
"Click, click..."
The sound of bone fragments clashing was endless, and pieces of skeleton soldiers stood up from the ground, their hollow eyes lit up with a faint green light, and it was terrifying.
"Shoot! Shoot! Three people in front of you suppress the boss with firepower! The rest of the people cleared the mobs first! The player commander shouted.
"Bang bang bang-" The gunshots rang out.
The treasure room was filled with gunsmoke again.
Only this time, the skeletons aren't as fragile as they were before.
At some point, a transparent barrier has formed on their bodies, blocking out the fragments and flames that have exploded with the bursting bullets.
If it weren't for the dense enough bullets and the transparent barrier protecting the skeleton soldiers to be impenetrable, all the combatants inside the cage would have been swallowed up by the ocean of skeletons.
Li Nuo sat on the throne, looking at the battlefield faintly, listening to the exclamations and excited roars coming from the iron cage.
At this time, he is no longer bound by the "power of Senati", and can sweep the battlefield at any time with the magic provided by the "magic heart".
But he didn't do it for the time being.
He entered the alien sky this time in order to form an army to eliminate the metal creation group, and to give the metal ancestor dragon in the inner starry sky a salary.
If it's a big army, why bother with magic golems.
An existence like a player who is not afraid of death and can do things for himself as long as there is a benefit is also a target that can be recruited by him Li Nuo?
Of course, the premise is that Li Nuo has to experiment with how good the players are.
If the player is not the kind of fearless existence he remembers, then Li Nuo would still give up befriending them, and it would be more reliable to choose a magic puppet.
So, there is the current scene.
Li Nuo is using the "Death Technique" to resurrect the skeleton soldiers on a large scale, and then uses the wind-based magic shield "Windbreaker Technique" to protect the skeleton soldiers, putting pressure on the players in the iron cage to probe their combat ability and will to fight.
In Li Nuo's mind, the players only need to force him to get up from the chair, and they will meet their own cooperation requirements.
If the players can't do this, then Li Nuo can only shake his head regretfully, wipe them out of the ground, take the death artifact alone, and leave by boat.
"Bang bang bang-"
Bullets fired from the cage form a wave of metal that swept through the treasure room, striking the skeletons as they walked towards the cage.
The skeleton soldiers protected by the "trench coat technique" are much more resistant to beating than before, and they are no longer weak chicken things that scatter at the touch of a button.
Seeing that the outer wall on the left side of the metal iron cage was about to be touched by several skeleton soldiers, the player commander knew that he and the others could not keep their hands any longer, otherwise they would have to be drowned by the sea of skeletons sooner or later.
"Raise the laser turret! Shoot ripping lasers! Let's have a 360-degree sweep! ”
"Roger!"
With a clang, the metal cage opened the skylight, and from it stretched out a robotic arm holding the laser turret.
The laser turret resembles a metal mortar in appearance, and has a rough and almost shoddy style, but it is extremely powerful.
Under the traction of the metal robotic arm, it surrounded the metal iron cage and came with a 360-degree sweep.
A red laser half a meter thick shot out of the muzzle of the cannon, sweeping through the skeleton soldiers like slicing tofu, and the temperature in the entire treasure room jumped several degrees at once.
All the skeletons swept by the laser turned into gray and white soft mud like melted candles, and fell to the ground softly.
"Trench Coat Technique" is a spell that protects against bullets, and it has no effect on lasers at all!
Laser weapons are outstanding!
The crowded treasure room was swept away by the laser weapon, and it immediately became empty, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt bones.
"Oye~"
"Wuhu~"
Players cheer inside the cage.
"Don't be too happy! Aim the laser turret at that boss! One more shot! The player commander shouted calmly.
"Roger!" The player operating the robotic arm, pointing the turret at Lino.
While waiting for the turret to recharge, the rest of the players use their blasting guns to vent their fire on Leno to prevent him from destroying the laser turret.
Seeing that the mini-boss sitting on the throne was suppressed by the firepower, the joy in the hearts of the players gradually rose.
When the laser turret buzzed and fired a red laser beam, there were even a few young players who were already cheering.
However, the next scene causes them to fall into an ice cave.
After the red laser beam was shot, it quickly came to the mini-boss, but it was forcibly held down by an invisible force, turning from a long strip into a red ball of light, hovering around the mini-boss.
"Gollum.."
The sound of swallowing saliva came from inside the iron cage.
"It's not scientific!" One player screamed and shouted, like a duck:
"Isn't this a one-time copy of a dead curiosity?! How can there be a boss who can control lasers?! ”
Another player also screamed:
"This boss looks like a skeleton, but why can he manipulate energy like a telekinesis system? What kind of weird boss is this? Is it possible for us to fight? ”
"It seems to be a boss who is proficient in both summoning and telekinesis. If it has other skills, we're in trouble. ”
"yes, it doesn't matter if we die, but these NPCs won't get out. As soon as an NPC dies, our prestige will be lost, which is really unlucky. ”
Players are talking.
The star thief scolded and urged the player to hurry up and find a way.
As the player said, the player himself is not afraid of death, and can use the game to achieve infinite resurrection.
But as NPCs in the eyes of players, the Star Thieves are one-time consumables, and if they die, they are dead.
After seeing that the skeleton on the throne could pinch the laser beam into a ball, the star thieves were cold and sweaty, and their voices were full of fear.
Now, whether the Star Thieves are dead or alive is in the hands of the player.
If the players can escort the Star Thieves away, then maybe the Star Thieves will survive.
This is not only clear to Li Nuo, but also to the player commander.
"Alright, it's all quiet."
Player Commander says:
"It's impossible to lose prestige. We finally rushed the reputation of the Split Bear Star Thieves to the friendly stage, and we were only close to reaching the respect stage, and then bought a second-hand ship from them, how could we lose our reputation here. ”
The player commander paused:
"Listen up. The information of this small copy is wrong, let's escort the NPC out first, and then come back next time when we are ready. Start the power unit, and we'll just lift off and rush out of the blown gap. ”
After the robotic arm and laser turret retracted the combat module, jets and heat waves came out from the bottom of the combat module, and the combat module rose smoothly.
The blaster continues to fire at the boss, covering the operation pod to leave.
"Do you think this boss doesn't have a strong desire to attack?" A little player says:
"It can manipulate lasers into balls of light, but it always holds them in its hands and doesn't shoot laser balls to hit us. If we smash the laser ball over, we might not be able to walk. ”
As soon as the player's words fell, Li Nuo was happy, and with a wave of his hand, he threw the laser ball above the combat module.
"[Blurted out expletive]! You're a crow's mouth! There was a cry of horror from inside the cage.
"Boom!"
The laser ball exploded above the combat module, and the surging impact force made the center of gravity of the combat module unstable, high and low on one side, and almost flipped in mid-air.
Sensing that there was a device inside the combat module to inhibit rollover, it stopped the flipping in time and slowly returned to a horizontal state.
Li Nuo didn't intend to let these players leave like this, so he simply raised his hand and snapped his fingers, causing a small air blast on the side of the combat module, and flipping the entire combat module with the help of impact.
"Boom—"
The combat module made a 180-degree turn in the air.
The tail flame that pushes the capsule upwards becomes an accomplice that causes the capsule to slam downwards on the ground.
The people in the combat cabin turned on their backs, screaming and wailing in pain.
"This boss is playing tricks on us!"
"It's over! The combat compartment can't be turned over! We can't get out! ”
"A bunch of idiots! Think of a way! There was no doubt that this rude voice came from the mouth of the Star Thief.
The Player Commander shouted:
"It's all quiet! I seem to understand the mechanics of this boss a little bit! Don't move, don't shoot! ”
When everyone heard the commander's words, they restrained the pain caused by the fall, endured the discomfort, and calmed down.
Player Commander says:
"Look. As long as we don't take offensive moves, the boss won't hit us. ”
That's not necessarily~
Li Nuo thought about giving the combat module another air blast and punching the player commander in the face, but after thinking about it, he still stopped his movements and decided to listen to the other party's thoughts.
Player Commander says:
"Look at what the information says. This elite prayer for the dead sits atop the Gate of Strange Things. All we have to do is lure it away, and we can open the door to the strange thing and find the strange thing of death behind the door. So, it's all about how to get it out of the chair, not how to overcome it. Perhaps, in the original design of this small dungeon, this boss itself is invincible! ”
Seeing that the boss had not launched an attack for a long time, everyone immediately felt that the captain's words were reasonable!
"It's really possible!"
"It turned out to be a mechanical-type boss, no wonder it's so powerful."
The so-called mechanical bosses are bosses that can only be defeated according to specific rules, not bosses that must be fought hard.
There are many types of mechanical bosses, either answering its questions correctly, handing in the right items to it, or chanting the right spells.
Either way, this means that it's unwise to force down mechanic bosses with violence.
Players, you say a word, I say a word, analyze the mechanics of the mini-boss, and finally come to a conclusion:
Open the hatch first and try to communicate with the boss.
The player commander volunteered and was willing to risk dying and losing experience.
With the sound of an airlock deflating, a man in tattered power armor stepped out of the hatch.
"Click...", Li Nuo turned his head slightly, looking at the player commander, shooting a gaze without fluctuation or emotion.
The boss didn't attack right away!
The players who stayed in the pod let out a suppressed cheer, and then fell silent. (End of chapter)
