At first, Wang Laoju really thought that this well temple was the kind of underground cave that can be seen everywhere in Nimgefu.

This kind of underground cavern is kind of a setting made to enrich the gameplay of the game.

It is characterized by its small size and uncomplicated design, allowing players to explore it in about ten minutes.

After coming out, you can not only harvest some treasures unique to the cave.

You can also get the satisfaction of 'exploring is complete'.

It can be regarded as interspersed in the open world for players to ride horses and slash tired of relieving the fatigue.

Therefore, the elevator in front of you can reach the end in two steps.

Presumably corresponds to a cave.

Merely......

When this lift slowly descends for more than ten seconds.

Wang Laoju suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Why haven't you landed yet?"

The lift showed no signs of slowing down, but was falling faster and faster.

and the space around it.

From the very beginning, the walls that fit perfectly with the circular lift continue to leave space.

Wang Laoju stood on the edge of the platform and looked down.

only to find that there was no bottom.

I suddenly felt faintly uneasy.

"It's not...... Where is this going to take me? ”

"It's not going to be hell at the bottom......

"It's the kind of thing, you will encounter a particularly disgusting falling monster rushing towards you ......" Wang Laoju's voice had not yet fallen, and his eyes suddenly widened after seeing the scene in front of him, and his expression became extremely shocked.

"Wow......" he exclaimed subconsciously.

And the barrage also followed Wang Laoju's perspective, and at the moment when the appearance of the underground world gradually emerged, the whole screen floated over the 'slot!' The barrage was densely stacked layer after layer.

Presented to everyone.

It's a stunning scene.

The dome, with its deep blue and purple hues, resembles a canvas.

On the canvas, there is a night scene that looks like a vast starry sky.

And those 'stars' who emit a bright and soft light are faintly outlined by the outline of the mountains and rocks at the top of the cave.

Unlike the surface world, which gives players a sense of grandeur and epicness.

The first impression of this mysterious underground world is that it is quiet and peaceful, as well as a sense of beauty that cannot be destroyed.

When the lift finally came down slowly.

The name of the area of the Eternal City was also revealed.

"......" Wang Laoju, who was almost silent for half a minute because of the shock, spoke before he spoke, and his tone was full of excitement that could not be concealed.

"Well, you know, I thought I'd figure out what Elden was going to be five or six hours on."

"Even the royal city of Rodel has been there, and after getting a glimpse of it, there is basically no more picture that can hit my heart."

"I didn't realize it until I saw the Eternal City...... The journey of the players seems to have just begun. ”

"Not only is it the visual impact brought by its beauty, but the moment the underground world appears, it is undoubtedly an ascending dimension to the volume of the entire game!"

Soon, as Wang Laoju stepped off the elevator, he rode a horse in the Eternal City and took a casual turn.

He was more convinced of this idea, and his expression became more and more excited, and he couldn't wait to speak.

"I really love the feeling of this open world! What it represents is a surprise, a surprise that exceeds expectations! ”

"This type of weak or even no guidance, allowing players to fly freely in the game world is simply synonymous with surprise!"

"You may have been exploring a temple like me and saw a downward mechanism, thinking it might just be an ordinary underground cave, but you found a sea of stars."

"You know, there is no system prompt beforehand, and you are even directed to a new area that you may not be able to explore for days and nights, and the unexpected surprise and happiness will fill your whole being."

"You can't help but look forward to the rest of the game!"

"Great, Ready Player One! Elden Ring is really amazing!! ”

It's not just Wang Laoju who looks excited.

After seeing the Eternal City, the barrage in the entire live broadcast room also rolled wildly for several minutes without stopping.

"Why is Kebao a god!!"

"I can't believe this game, it only charges me 299 yuan to give me such a magnificent gaming experience......"

"Yes, just watching the chairman's experience along the way, I can't be excited. I can't even imagine how much fun it is to get started myself......"

"It is recommended that other domestic game manufacturers who will only cheat Krypton learn well! The open world can't be designed to deceive Krypton, right? ”

"Don't say it, just buy it, buy it hard!"

"I want to buy one and go back to my children to play with, and write ten minutes of homework once I die."

"Wait for decades, your child can't: come and play Elden Ring, and if you die once, you will have your oxygen tube removed for 10 minutes."

And Wang Laoju calmed down his emotions for a while, and simply explored the Eternal City.

Sure enough.

This area is not yet a place for players to visit.

The average monster level here is high.

Not to mention that it is more than the royal city of Rodel, at least it is about a dozen levels higher than the average level of the monsters in the entire Nymgefo.

Wang Laoju, who had searched Nimgefu almost in a carpet manner, was still struggling to fight in the face of those minotaur monsters in the Eternal City that exuded faint fluorescence.

I simply chose to mark this place first, and then explore it when the subsequent levels are pulled up.

After returning to the surface, he first went to settle accounts with the old boy of Patch.

This guy is a representative of the wall-riding faction.

Seeing that the player came to the door, he hurriedly blew and licked, and threw all kinds of praise at the player without hesitation, trying to excuse himself by all means.

Wang Laoju was annoyed by his rogue performance.

Or maybe he was moved by Patch's false words.

No matter how sophistry Patch is, he at least has one sentence that has been tolerated by Wang Laoju.

Patch said that it is not easy for an ordinary person like him to survive in a dangerous junction, and seeing the wind and steering the rudder is the key to saving his life, otherwise I am afraid that he would have died a thousand and eight hundred times.

In the end, he chose to spare Patch's life.

Opening the map again, the entire Nimgerfo was completely searched.

Only the main story of Stonewell remains.

and the wild boss who abused the player in the early stage - the big tree guard.

"Then go and crusade against the Tree Guards first, and then fight the bad omen." After planning the route, Wang Laoju teleported back to the [Initial Land]

Sure enough, I saw the majestic-looking cavalry in gold armor, cruising back and forth.

This boss, who gave players a great psychological shadow at the beginning of the game, Wang Laoju was also tortured to death in his hands.

But now, everything is very different.

Carpet licked the whole Nimgerfo and got a lot of improvement.

And I also learned a lot of skills from all kinds of elite monsters and various bosses.

Fearless!

After blowing the horse's whistle and summoning the spirit of the Martorret.

Wang Laoju's eyes lit up, and he directly rode his horse to lower his body and galloped towards the big tree guard!

Come on!

I'm standing right in front of you, and you see how much I used to be!

The passionate background music instantly swayed under the eyes of the two cavalrymen!

In the first round of confrontation, Wang Laoju charged a heavy blow with his sword, and when he drove his horse to pass by the big tree guard, he slashed out violently!

"Poof!"

High damage numbers float out.

With a successful blow, he instantly drove his horse and distanced himself from the tree guard.

With this blow, almost 1/10 of the health bar of the Big Tree Guard was shaved off!

It's a world away from the original figure where you could only do 1/40 of your health bar damage with a single slash.

Moreover, the growth of the energy bar also gave Wang Laoju more room for maneuver when facing the big tree guards.

But more importantly, players continue to deepen their understanding of 'ring like' games.

After the experience of countless battles.

The mindset of players has long since shifted from 'this is a traditional action game with a skill set' to a semi-game game where you can take advantage of the right time to fight the enemy in battle.

Soon, Wang Laoju slashed the tree guard to the point of blood in the collision of swords.

In the final blow, he slapped his horse and met the enemy, and at the moment he collided head-on with the equally menacing tree guard.

Tap the jump button and the horse leaps high on the ground.

Wang Laoju directly lifted the riding state.

The Faded One was taken by Spirit Mato to a height that did not belong to him to jump to.

Volley, followed by the drawing of the sword.

Slash down!

A sword slashes down on the head!

Took away the last trace of the novice mentor's blood.

"Phew~~!!" The warhorses of the Great Tree Guard let out a shrill neigh.

Then, he fell to his knees.

The formidable foe shone with a sparkling light and vanished.

At the same time that more than 3,000 runes arrived, a golden halberd was also exploded.

"Cool!" With the death of the big tree guard, the surging pleasure of conquering a strong enemy burst out, which made Wang Laoju can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at the weapons that had exploded.

After six or seven hours of playing, Wang Laoju found out.

In Elden Ring, the positioning of equipment is actually a bit vague compared to traditional RPGs.

That is, there is no such thing as equipment that is completely crushed.

Only equipment that is more suitable for the current scenario exists.

Every piece of equipment has its own value.

The seemingly inconspicuous straight sword that has accompanied the player since birth is not necessarily worse than the golden halberd in his hand.

Straight swords are lighter and faster to swing and slash, making them less likely to be caught by enemies.

The Golden Halberd, on the other hand, is a heavy spear with high attack, strong toughness, and a certain Holy Attack Bonus.

But instead, the disadvantage is the slow forward swing of the hand.

However, Wang Laoju fell in love with the golden halberd's combat skill - the golden oath.

This is a buff-type skill that increases the player's attack and defense by a certain amount when released.

Without further ado, go back to the Great Blessing to find Iron Sauce and use the Colorless Forging Stone to strengthen to +2.

After equipping, the panel comprehensive attack at this time has reached 300 points.

After releasing the combat skill, it can soar to 350+

Even if the enemy's defense is taken into account, the damage of one hit can be more than 200 points.

With a golden halberd in hand, go to the sword training camp at the front of the level.

Pulled a random mob out.

These soldiers, who are only in their early 400 bloods, are in the case of Wang Laoju holding a golden halberd.

Charge up and slam the halberd to poke it out, and the opponent is only left with a trace of blood.

The improvement is huge!

At the same time, he also improved his attributes at this stage at the blessing point.

HP is maintained at level 20 and 650 HP.

All other attributes are also evenly balanced.

At the same time, the Holy Grail Dettol has been strengthened to level 2.

The Holy Grail Dettol increases the amount of recovery the player has from knocking the Vial, and increases the base based on the player's health/blue percentage.

Unfortified dettol can bring back more than 200 blood in one mouthful.

Then at this time, the +2 Dettol can at least pull the blood line up to 300+ in one mouthful

Judging from Lao Ju's current total blood volume in his early 600s.

Unenhanced Dettol consumes three vials of red, and only two vials of red can be used to replenish residual health.

The improvement is still considerable.

In addition, Lao Ju also checked the ashes he carried with him.

In Elden, there is a summoning mechanic to help relieve the pressure of the difficult game and reduce the frustration of constantly failing.

After the ashes are summoned by the player, they will join the battle in the nature of a 'pet', attracting boss hatred for the player.

And ashes aren't just a sandbag.

Different ashes have different functions, sometimes the ashes that fit the current combat environment, and can even directly help players attack the boss.

And the ashes that Lao Ju has obtained so far are the jellyfish girl Kurala.

The appearance is a large jellyfish floating in mid-air, capable of emitting a directional poisonous mist that can cause enemies to lose blood continuously after accumulating a certain amount of toxin.

After everything is ready.

Lao Ju directly opened the map and teleported to the door of the Bad Omen room.

Despite going through a series of trials in the open world, it gradually became stronger.

You can even tear the tree guard with ease.

But in the face of the first sight, it brought a great shock, and almost three times five divided by two seconds to get rid of the faded omen BOSS.

Wang Laoju did not take it lightly.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly stepped into the dark golden fog door.

Shake people directly at the beginning!

Magical Girl Kurara, on!

Soon, as Lao Ju shook the bell in his hand.

Jellyfish are summoned.

Immediately.

The golden halberd in his hand was violently raised.

Combat skills, gold swear, open!

Airplanes!

A brilliant golden light ripples out from the player's feet.

Attack and defense have been strengthened!

Wang Laoju quickly switched to the turtle shell shield, and then opened the turtle shell shield's combat technique iron wall defense.

Defense increased even further!

After doing all this, Bad Omen also threw out two daggers with his backhand, and threw them towards Wang Laoju with a chilling sound of breaking wind!

Lao Ju quickly raised the turtle shield.

"Poof! Poop! ”

Two crisp sounds of striking iron came out.

In fact, with Lao Ju's current understanding of 'ring like', he can easily roll and dodge throwing knives.

However, Lao Ju still wanted to try how the damage of the bad omen was at present.

A glance sweeps over the amount of blood.

Only a little bit of blood skin was lost, and the energy bar used to block was not much.

OK, then on!

Wang Laoju, who had a little confidence, pulled his legs and ran towards the bad omen.

Take advantage of the jellyfish attack to divert the bad omen's aggro points.

A tumble wound the back of the omen.

Raise the heavy golden halberd in your hand, and after a short period of accumulation, the tip of the spear slashes down hard!

"Poof!!"

At the same time, it is connected to a basic attack, bringing up a string of blood flowers at the same time.

The second-stage damage numbers jumped out one after another.

The amount of damage is impressive!

Heavy attack + basic attack sweep directly cut off about 1/8 of the blood line of the bad omen.

In other words, even if you attack basically, you can defeat this guy with about 20 stabs.

However, I played Elden for six or seven hours.

Wang Laoju knows that the emphasis of the combat system of this game has never been to deliberately suppress players with extremely high boss blood thickness.

Rather, it is a test of the player's mastery of the timing of the attack.

And drip-tight defensive options!

After the second combo was successful, the hatred of the bad omen was quickly transferred.

The long crutch in his hand twisted violently and turned his head to knock on.

After fighting with countless elite monsters and bosses in Nimgefu, he got Wang Laoju, who grew up.

also quickly perceived the turning action of the bad omen.

It's fast, but it does give players time to react.

Roll sideways!

The nimble faded man rolled on the ground with his cane, barely able to dodge the attack.

Wang Laoju's eyes lit up!

If memory serves, this boss likes to connect a dagger with a quick knife after turning to attack.

This move has almost no forward swing, and the damage is not low.

Since the dagger has a holy attribute magic attack, it will hurt blood if you raise the shield and carry it hard.

If he didn't defend it, he would probably be able to directly knock out half of his blood.

Of course, it is also possible that the bad omen will not connect with this trick.

But it's his business whether he fights or not.

He can not attack, but he can't be unguarded.

Therefore.

The next moment after a sideways roll.

Wang Laoju just got up and slapped the tumbling button again!

"Huh!"

Sure enough.

Bad Omen wanted to use the dagger to use the dagger to suppress the faded person to get up, but unexpectedly, as soon as the dagger was shot, Lao Ju rolled and dodged it twice.

And when the light dagger slashed back, Wang Laoju had already gotten up and placed the shield horizontally in front of him.

Look for the timing.

Anti-reverse!

"Ding-pop!!"

The shield let out a crisp hum, and after crashing through the attack of the bad omen, the tip of the golden halberd spear glowed with coldness, and it stabbed out with a single shot!

Lower the amount of bad omen again!

Seeing this scene, the barrage also floated by.

“woc！”

"Strong, chairman!"

"This reaction, let's not talk about it quickly."

"I really didn't practice for a few hours just now."

"This game feels that although there is also a system of fighting monsters and upgrading, the operation of the player gradually becoming stronger in the experience is also very intuitive."

"Really, I really like the kind of game where players can clearly feel like they're getting stronger."

"Chairman rush!"

Cheered on by the barrage.

Wang Laoju relied on experience and reaction, as well as the hatred that jellyfish occasionally pulled away.

In just over a minute, the bad omen was beaten to half blood, and the second phase was opened.

「…… Oh? Not to be underestimated.

The Faded are worthy of being the offspring of warriors."

After entering the second stage, the bad omen became significantly more violent.

The desire to attack has increased, and the moves have changed.

In addition to the original offensive posture of the first stage.

In the second phase, Bad Omen will frequently conjure up a huge light hammer to attack.

The Hammer has a much faster attack speed than the Crutch, and has a wider range when sweeping.

But the light hammer is not the deadliest.

Deadly is the delayed knife of the Omen Crutch.

Offensive pressure with light hammer.

will form a deadly blockade of the fast and slow knife area.

In Elden, almost slightly stronger enemies will use the delayed knife technique to a greater or lesser extent.

That is, you see that the other person has already raised his hand.

You think he's about to attack, so you're going to roll to dodge this attack.

But the other party is delayed for the sake of the knife.

When you roll up, he slashes down and hits you right as you get up.

Moreover, the delay length of this delay knife is also uncertain.

He may raise his knife for a second and then slash, or he may raise his knife for 1.5 seconds, 1.8 seconds, or two seconds.

Therefore, it is necessary for the player to watch and predict the opponent's movements.

Otherwise, there will be a very funny scene.

The boss raises his weapon high and does not fall, while the player rolls around in a panic like a hamster at the boss's feet.

After all the energy bars are empty, the boss delay knife is late, and then quickly slashes before stepping on the blow.

This will basically clear the player's health gauge.

Wang Laoju also suffered a small loss because of the chaotic rhythm just now after the bad omen entered the second stage.

But fortunately, he quickly distanced himself, filled up his health bar, and stabilized his mentality.

We are also a ranger of Nimgefu, and we have walked at the foot of the royal city, and the eternal city has also slipped a corner.

What kind of big scene haven't you ever seen?

It's a bad omen, hold on!

Soon, a few minutes later.

Both sides pulled desperately at each other.

At this time, the bad omen only has about 1/8 of the HP left, and it is only one charged heavy attack or two flat aces to take it away.

Wang Laoju also ran out of ammunition and food, and almost emptied all the blood bottles, and the blood volume had dropped to a precarious level.

Seeing the bad omen, he raised his crutches above his head, about to release a delay knife.

Wang Laoju cheered up 120,000 points, staring at the bad omen.

My fingers had quietly touched the tumbling button, but I didn't press it for a long time.

Right in the next moment.

The bad omen seemed to have lost his patience, and seeing that the faded man was unmoved, he finally smashed the heavy long stick in his hand to the ground!

At the same time, one hand also quietly touched his back, ready to take out a light hammer to make up for a slow and fast knife second success, and kill the uninvited guests who dared to invade in front of him on the spot.

At this moment, the finger that had been hovering for a long time was slapped down by Wang Laoju.

Rolling!

"Tom!!"

The crutches slammed hard, flying sand and rocks.

The faded man rolled over the crutches, and the golden lustrous halberd in his hand was charged at this moment, and he stabbed forward with all his might!

"Die!!" With Wang Laoju's cry, he broke off.

The halberd plunged into the belly of the omen.

But the next moment, the situation suddenly changed!

Wrong HP estimate!

After the golden halberd was slammed down, the last trace of blood was left of the bad omen, and it looked like it was only in the single digits.

But a duel between the strong.

As long as a trace of blood does not fall, it can already tell the winner from the loser.

The light hammer hidden behind the bad omen has also swung horizontally, swinging out quickly!

"It's broken...... Wang Laoju's pupils contracted suddenly.

It's just a little bit there!

I didn't kill it!

Moreover, this time, Wang Laoju was reckless with the idea of letting go, and he didn't leave a back hand at all.

"Send!" Just when Wang Laoju gave up struggling.

"Poof!"

Suddenly, I saw a poisonous mist attack sprayed out not far away.

The jellyfish Kulala, who was almost forgotten by everyone because of the exciting game, sprayed the poisonous mist with all his strength at this critical moment, and accurately hit the bad omen.

Although he didn't directly kill the Omen, he also managed to hit the Omen's hard stun, interrupting his Light Hammer spell casting swing.

"Boom!" The bad omen staggered, fell to one knee on the ground, and entered the execution posture with his head bowed.

Seeing this, Lao Ju's face was happy.

Rushed forward and sent the golden halberd into the belly of the bad omen, completing the final blow of execution!

The emotions of the audience also completely exploded at this moment!

The barrage rolls wildly!

"! Storehouse!! ”

"It's too spicy!"

"Kulala: Rest and hurt my son!"

"Someone! Change the chairman's pants! ”

"Awesome! I'm so excited to see it! Treasure is strong!! ”

"Call me the treasure! Whoever is shouting jellyfish skin in the future, I am in a hurry! ”

"And you, my Treasure, are the real Fader!"

In the midst of the ridicule of the barrage.

At the same time, the bad omen vanished.

Generous rewards were given.

More than 10,000 runes spilled into the player's money bag, and at the same time, an item called [Talisman Leather Bag] was also exploded.

This item directly increases the maximum number of amulets a player can equip with.

It can be described as a very important reward.

Wang Laoju, who almost overturned the car in the "......", finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, a refreshing sense of accomplishment also came to the top of my heart.

Although this final blow was aided by their own ashes.

But he can fight the bad omen for 800 rounds and beat it to the last trace of blood.

is already very different from the first time I met, the beaten self who had no power to fight back.

Wang Laoju also became more and more aware.

In the game Elden Ring.

The growth and transformation after fighting a strong enemy is undoubtedly the most valuable reward after defeating the enemy!

After defeating the Omen, the main gate to Stonewell City finally opens.

All the way up the high steps, due to the perspective of climbing, I can only always maintain the posture of looking up.

Invisibly, it adds a sense of awe to the player for Stonewell City.

The towering city gate, which seems to be dilapidated, still reveals the domineering glory of the past.

Soon, they came to the city gate.

only to find that the door was closed.

Soon an old man's voice was heard in the hut on the left, calling out to the player.

After going around to the hut, I saw an old man in shackles.

After talking to him, I learned.

This NPC is named Gotock and is the gatekeeper of Stonewell City.

Gotok recognized the identity of the player's fader and reminded him.

It is best not to enter through the gates, which are guarded by skilled soldiers.

Players are advised to sneak into Stonewell through the side path through a detour.

As soon as he heard this, Wang Laoju was immediately unhappy.

I don't know you at all!

Who is brother?

I just killed all the bad omen of your family to 'Kuku'!

Just a small soldier defending the city.

You let me sneak down the trail?

What kind of trail to take, cowards take the trail.

And brother, now it's very strong and inflated!

Wang Laoju immediately rejected the doorman's proposal, went straight to the gate of Stonewell City, and said in a loud voice.

"Open the door for me!"

"Let me test your Stonewell's strength!"
