Chapter 501: Dead End

"Huh? How did it stop? Zhao Tianhe asked with some confusion.

Zhao Tianhe, who was online again, looked at Oriana and asked, they were in a cave at this time.

It was a rather spacious hidden cavern, the size of a football field, but the exit was located nearly 100 meters above a wall.

There were no other suspicious doors and openings around except for the exit, and it didn't look like a copy, two elite undead were guarding the exit, and the others were resting on the spot.

Gawain and his party are lying on a marching bed disconnecting their consciousness and playing some other somatosensory games, compared to other stand-alone somatosensory games outside of other games, the advantage of casual game play attached to life games is that you can play at will when waiting for someone.

There is a small window in the casual game to see the general situation of the outside world, and at the same time, you can also switch back at any time, which is much more convenient than going online and offline.

"We've arrived at the Ice Volcano, and this place is now one of the Knights of the Round Table's hideout, and Mr. Gawain is asking their intelligence officers about the situation." Oriana pointed to Gawain, who was not far away.

Blood Knight Galista was also listening to the news of the female player, and when he saw Zhao Tianhe active, he beckoned him to come and listen, after all, he was the protagonist of this trip.

Zhao Tianhe walked over, and the other party roughly described the situation here.

The Ice Volcano is a relatively large mid-level ancient god dungeon, with as many as ninety-three copies in it, and there is also a super guardian, and it is speculated that the strength should be at least at the seventh turn high level, and may even reach the eighth turn.

The specific strength is not clear for the time being, because this copy has never been attacked before!

Of course, this refers to the fact that it has not been fully attacked, except for the final boss, the other dungeon bosses have been thoroughly explored.

Not only has the Elemental Corps explored here, but the Fifth Squad led by Lancelot has also visited, so it is clear about the specific situation here.

"There are three ways to enter the ice volcano, they take the north gate, and this road has the least number of dungeons, and it only takes twenty to reach the core 'Ice and Fire Abyss'." The female gamer named Xinqing said. "They entered half a day ago, and by the time I first came out, I had probably arrived at the third dungeon, and it was already certain that this group of people was led by its gang leader, the 'Berserk Elemental', with a total of three hundred and twenty-three members, all of whom were elites in the group."

"So many people?!" Zhao Tianhe was also taken aback when he heard this, looked at Gao Wen and asked. "Would you like to contact the others?"

"I've already contacted it, hehe, I really didn't expect them to come with so many people...... It is estimated that all the front-line members of the Ancient God Battlefield are here, right? It's going to take out the final boss with all your might...... So, the next step in Ah He's brother's mission should be to kill the final boss, right? Or the core of the ancient god that destroyed the ice volcano, that's what it was like anyway. Gawain said with a smile. Don't worry, it's useless to rely on the number of people alone, after all, the place is so big that it can't be fully expanded. I guess they were trying to use multiple teams to kill the final boss's health, and maybe even use a self-destruct attack to get so many people. ”

If you want to play self-explosion on the eight-turn boss, ordinary people can't do it, after all, Zhao Tianhe is estimated to be killed in seconds as soon as he shows his face, and he can't get close at all without quite good quality, so you still blow yourself up?

However, the self-detonation method of the Elemental Corps is unlikely to be as low as Zhao Tianhe, because they have many high-level priests of the Elemental Temple, and they have the kind of super divine skill that can obtain amazing explosive power by sacrificing their own lives, and their so-called self-detonation is actually like this, rather than holding a bunch of alchemy bombs to really self-detonate.

After all, to tell the truth, the reason why Zhao Tianhe was able to fight the Chaos Divine Power at that time was helpless was because its level was too low, and the three-turn alchemy bomb really fell to the ground and no one picked it up in this year, so it was naturally not distressing to use, and the amount was large.

But what is the price of an alchemy bomb that can hurt a seventh-turn or even eighth-turn boss?

To be honest, if you really use the alchemy bomb to blow up the whole process, you may not be able to get back to the original after killing the boss and exploding the artifact......

Of course, that kind of explosive sacrificial magic also has a price, different from ordinary death, it may require a sacrifice level or basic attributes, or some precious items, in short, the price is better than blowing up with an alchemy bomb but not much better, and after using it, you usually have to suffer another death price.

With this kind of spell, the group must give enough benefits in advance, and if it is done afterwards, there will be additional dividends, otherwise no one will do it. But in general, the result is still that even if the boss comes out of the artifact, out of the exclusive, plus the legend, there is a Supreme European Emperor five consecutive explosions, it is also an ironclad loss!

In short, unless they are doing a task chain with considerable significance like now, they usually don't do this kind of loss-making business and fight such hard bones.

"Well, anyway, we need to catch up with them quickly, follow their route, and it should be okay to shadow them from behind, right?" Zhao Tianhe asked.

"Impossible, one of the limiting features of this ice volcano copy is that there is no advance or retreat." Xinqing explained. "After clearing the dungeon, they will be locked by a special enchantment to form a sealed field that can only move forward, and there is no way to retreat, and at the same time, it also eliminates the possibility of being overshadowed, if we want to enter, we must honestly enter through one of the routes."

"Won't there be enough time? It would be bad if they got the lead! This Old God dungeon takes a long time to reset, right? Zhao Tianhe asked.

"Don't worry, I've already planned the route, after all, we've killed the final boss several times, and the specific rules are still clear." Xinqing explained. "The closed enchantment that can only move forward blocks the rear path in the direction that the player enters, but the left and right ends are not blocked, so usually when we have to turn back, we will re-attack the dungeon from both sides. It's just that the bosses here are difficult to fight, and the material transportation and equipment maintenance are difficult in the wild, so we didn't choose to treat this place as a daily dungeon, after all, the fire overlord of the Flame Wasteland is better to beat and the value of the things that burst is not less than here. ”

As she spoke, Xinqing took out a magic map drawn on parchment and said, "I used the professional skill 'Shadow Monitoring' to mark a player before, so I can sense their current progress, probably here......"

Mood pointed to a position that was bubbling with light, and then slid to a position below and said: "They use a multi-squad strategy to take turns to attack, although the speed is fast, we only need to enter through this entrance, and then go through six more copies to enter from the side of here and meet them." ”

"Well, it works." Blood Knight Galista nodded and said. "Then let's get going! Be fast, and it's best to get in front of them and ambush them! ”

"However, if you want to attack the final boss after fighting them, you have to wait for reinforcements to come." Gawain nodded and sent a group message to the team to wake everyone up. "Everyone, it's war! Be sober! ”

The number of people on the other side is close to three times that of the other side, even if there are bosses like Gallista and them, it is difficult to make up for the gap between the two sides, after all, they are all first-line players on the battlefield of the ancient gods.

Gao Wen said that he looked down on them, but even if he was a top master, he could fight at most one or two, and if he was an ordinary member, he would be one or two percent stronger than the other side, and it mainly depended on their respective operations and professional phases to determine whether they won or lost.

The group came to the northwest entrance of the ice volcano and began the strategy.

"Then again, they've come with so many people, but they don't even have a perimeter detection barrier or sentry...... It's too big, isn't it? Gawain said with some confusion.

"This is the style of the Elemental Corps, which is self-righteous and self-righteous, and is particularly capable of bullying and bullying those small gangs." Gareth said with a dismissive smile. "Their boss is even more so, very arrogant."

"If that's the case, then it's best to ......" Gao Wen frowned and felt that the situation was a little bad, the other party's performance showed that they were definitely not afraid of being disturbed, and the other party's self-confidence made Gao Wen have a sense of foreboding......

"Probably not, although they bring a lot of people, but if you use that trick, you still don't have enough manpower, right?" Gawain shook his head, banishing the foreboding feeling from his mind. In any case, let's follow the route that Xinqing has prescribed. ’

The strength of the guardian boss of the ice volcano is indeed much stronger than that of the god of reproduction, but it can't last long under the siege of a group of bosses and players.

"It's so convenient...... The power of the boss is stronger than the player, Ah He, to make up for the knife. Gao Wen watched the frost beast in front of him being pressed to the ground by two burly zombie giants, twitching half-dead, and said hello to Zhao Tianhe.

It's the same six-turn strength, but these bosses can crush and restrict the dungeon boss on their strongest strength, such as using brute force to press the boss to the ground and rub it or something. In contrast, the player's attributes and skills cannot be done in any case, unless they are strengthened with self-destructive skills to achieve the suppression effect in a short period of time.

Orianna and Diana unleashed a curse that further weakened the guy's resistance, and then Zhao Tianhe was barely able to deal some damage from his vital point to make up for it.

Although the artifact was not exploded, it was a good seven-turn exclusive, and then Zhao Tianhe absorbed the soul of this boss.

After the boss died, blocks of ice suddenly appeared on the tunnel when everyone came, but these were not real obstacles.

The most troublesome thing was the red and blue light that completely enveloped the entire wall behind him.

Although it seems that it only seals a wall, if you dig along the four sides, you will only end up digging into the dungeon where the other boss is located, and there is no possibility of breaking through at all.

"The dungeon boss still doesn't have to bother Zhao Tianhe, it's still very simple to attack it alone." Blood Knight Galista said. "Adult's spells can be fired in bursts, so let's wait until you hit those guys."

Zhao Tianhe nodded when he heard this, but he knew that Jialista was giving him a step, after all, who knew if his King Soul Impact would still be able to get a bonus in this environment.

The progress of the crowd was very fast, and five copies were penetrated in about two hours.

However, when they entered the sixth dungeon, they encountered an unexpected enemy!

A group of mages in a replenishment state!

A large pile of frost crystals was scattered around, apparently the remains of a newly killed boss.

"What people?! Our Elemental Corps is here to open up the wasteland to do a mission, why are you ......" A strong man in metal armor stood up and asked Zhao Tianhe and his party, who were rushing in.

I saw that the end of the staff in his hand condensed into a cloud of ice, and then turned into a double-edged battle axe.

"Ah...... Use this trick? It seems that you have paid for it, and you planned to use foreign objects to ensure that the final boss is killed......" Gawain said with a pained look on his face. "Your Thunder God Mountain is occupied by the Hades Temple, why are you still working so hard? Do you think this ice volcano will be able to be defended by you? ”

It turned out that the reason why the Elemental Corps came with so many people this time was actually to directly attack some shortcut copies that might surpass them to form a fully enclosed secret room environment, so that naturally there would be no need for sentry posts and reconnaissance enchantments.

Because there is no doubt that it is more reliable to use the special mechanics in this dungeon, after all, so far, the elites of the two major gangs have no way to do anything about this blockade barrier, and neither magic nor physical attacks can shake this powerful barrier entangled with ice and fire.

It's not for nothing that everyone thinks that the other party won't do this, because there are seven or eight points that can overtake along the way, and more than 300 of them seem to be a lot, but if this Thunder God Mountain wants to capture one of the dungeon bosses, it will take at least about 30 people, and in the end, there will be a shortage of manpower in the face of the final boss.

Therefore, Gawain concluded that the Elemental Corps had brought some kind of extravagant one-time high-power items such as high-level alchemy bombs and god-killing cannons, and wanted to spend money to get the final boss.

Well, the situation is really troublesome, and they are not stupid, doing this kind of extravagant and wasteful thing can only mean one thing, and that is that this task is likely to be the one who needs to do the task must kill the final boss with 'their own hands'! Gao Wen glanced at Zhao Tianhe, and said in his heart that now with his strength, he can only expect his king soul impact to be strong enough to make up for the final boss.

But now the more important question is...... Will they be able to catch up with the Elemental Corps?!

"Gawain? Aren't you Camelot ever going to engage in a large-scale conflict with our Elemental Corps? You're going to break the rules set by your boss? The strong man asked, frowning.

"Our round table is not the boss's word, as long as there are enough interests, we will not abide by the unreasonable rules set by the boss." Gawain said with a smile. "And now, Mr. Zhao Tianhe can bring us benefits that are enough to break through the boss's limitations. So...... Suicide or do we do it? ”

Gao Wen's words are not pretending to be forced, but because there are a total of thirty-one people on the other side, and they are not in a complete state after just beating the boss, after all, the boss of the ice volcano is not ordinarily strong.

In this situation, there is no need for the Blood Knight Gallista to do anything, and Gawain can wipe them out.

"Hehe......" The strong man shook his head with a smile, then raised his tomahawk, turned the blade at the end into a spear head, and stabbed Gawain directly into his head with a middle finger.

"Suicide is suicide, anyway, the task of Lao Tzu has been completed, I am not happy that you broke the barrier behind you? Hahaha! The strong man laughed smugly and turned away.

In fact, they were already thinking about suicide before Gawain said that.

After all, it's a sure thing that you can't beat the other side, and the most important thing is that the other party actually has the boss unit of the Pluto force!

It's okay to say that PK is killed by a player, but it's quite fatal to be killed by this thing!

As a result, I saw the players of the Elemental Corps scolding and scolding and directly turning away, but they were all smiling very disdainfully.

After all, they have successfully completed their mission and blocked them here.

"Xinqing, what's the next route?" Gareth asked with a solemn face.

"Isn't that great...... If you want to go directly to the final boss position, you have to go around in a big circle, passing through nineteen copies, even if we fight the boss faster, but the middle distance is very far and rugged, and the number of monsters is also very large, no matter how it is calculated, it will take a full day and a half to arrive. Xinqing said helplessly.

The Ice Volcano is a huge mountain with a height of more than 5,000 meters, and the internal copy is also huge, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a complete map.

"A day and a half? It's not the same as going back to the entrance and following the optimal route again! Zhao Tianhe said with a frown. With the speed of the other party, it will take half a day at most to reach the final boss, right? And if you kill it with a high-priced item, it will be very fast! ”

"That's right." Gawain said with a sigh. "But we can't help it, they are doing too much, this barrier is the best obstacle, there is no way to break through."

Hearing this, the Blood Knight Galista stepped forward and pressed it with one hand, and then his entire arm erupted with a large amount of flames!

The surging flames condensed into a pillar of flame the size of a bucket and hit the barrier, but the red and blue light curtain only slightly increased the speed of circulation.

"The overall structure of this thing is perfect, there are no flaws, but theoretically if there is enough strong energy, it can be broken through, but I can't do it, I can't fight against the power of the entire ancient gods." Gallista shook his head and said helplessly. "It's a pity, Lord Zhao Tianhe, depending on the situation, we can only take a detour."
