Chapter 300 Locusts Passing Through

Relying on the duration of the dark world, the three launched various long-range attacks on the emperor.

Judging from the emperor's previous performance, he should not be able to see the darkness outside the word spirit circle. The enemy is dark and I am bright, so I can only passively defend.

"Barrier!"

At this time, the emperor stayed in place, relying on the transparent barrier before to resist all attacks around him.

All magic will automatically fail the moment it touches the barrier, which can be called absolute defense, but the price is that the emperor's magic power is rapidly declining. Obviously, maintaining this absolute defense consumes a lot.

In just less than half a minute, half of the emperor's nearly 10,000 magic points have evaporated. His word spirit field is very powerful. If used reasonably, it can have the effect of changing fate, but the "reasonable use" here definitely does not include being a sandbag that cannot fight back like now.

Now the emperor has to change his strategy and give up this no-dead-angle defense method. He chooses to bear some ordinary attacks and only resist those magic attacks that are too damaging. He began to try to move in the direction of Mu You and the other two, preparing to counterattack.

In this way, the consumption of magic power has indeed slowed down, but the wounds on the emperor are also increasing rapidly.

"Heal!"

After the injuries accumulated, the emperor used the Word Spirit again, and the injuries all over his body healed instantly.

But at this moment, a sharp knife light suddenly attacked from the side. The emperor's perception in the field was different from that of ordinary people. He immediately noticed this and knew that it was the woman who used the sickle just now.

However, he did not rely on the Word Spirit to dodge this knife. His purpose of coming here was not to fight to the death with the opponent, but to explore intelligence. It was very necessary to personally feel the opponent's attack strength.

The emperor relied on his physical attributes to move aside. Although he failed to dodge completely, he also avoided the vital points.

The sickle scraped across his shoulder, leaving a trace of blood.

Lin Xue maintained the habit of retreating after one strike, and immediately withdrew from the range of the Word Spirit after hitting.

The emperor did not care, thinking it was just an ordinary attack and defense.

But then, he suddenly noticed that a skull-shaped mark appeared at the position where his shoulder had just been attacked.

The mark itself did not bring him any substantial negative effects, but the moment he saw the mark, he felt an instinctive disgust and fear.

The emperor did not know what it was, but he had a feeling: if he did not remove this thing from his body as soon as possible, it might bring him unbearable consequences...

Almost as a subconscious reaction, the emperor immediately used the word spirit to remove the mark: "Remove!"

With a command, the mark really faded slowly.

However, the mark was successfully removed, but the consumption surprised the emperor.

The remaining half of his magic power disappeared in an instant!

A simple word spirit of "Remove" actually consumed nearly 4,000 points of his magic power?

While the emperor was distracted, Mu You's attack in the distance would not stop.

The emperor, whose magic power was at the bottom, temporarily lost the opportunity to use the word spirit again. As a result, he was instantly slashed by several wind blades, bleeding all over his body, and his life was sharply reduced.

However, just when Mu You was about to beat the dog down and continue to attack, he heard the emperor who fell to the ground in the distance, clearly spit out two words.

"Self-destruction."

The next moment, the original place was suddenly covered by a large ball of fire, and in the sound of the explosion, the emperor's body was directly turned into powder and disappeared on the spot.

"Self-destruction again..."

The emperor's self-destruction did not hurt anyone, but Mu You could only watch the emperor disappear and could not do anything.

Word Spirit Barrier + Self-destruction Teleportation, no wonder the other party dared to come alone, this combination is too shameless.

Shaking his head, Mu You walked forward and picked up the map fragment on the ground where the emperor disappeared.

When the emperor died, it was exactly within the half-hour theft time scheduled by the thief. During this period, the fragments must explode after death, which saved Mu You from following the schedule.

After the battle, Lin Xue and Xiao Ya saw Mu You picking up the fragments and ran to watch.

"What number?" Lin Xue asked.

"Number one..."

Mu You looked at the number on the fragment and sighed secretly.

In fact, he had already expected this result.

The result of the emperor's action was to give Mu You a fragment for free. If it is a fragment of relatively high value, even if it is marked, the other party may not be willing to give it away.

As for the fragment No. 1, only one-third of the area depicts the map of the Sky City, and the rest are the marks of the external environment and the entrance.

In other words, before entering the city, the fragment No. 1 is priceless, but once the entrance is found and the interior of the Sky City is entered, the value of this fragment will depreciate sharply, and its importance is far less than that of the fragments No. 3 and No. 6.

It is precisely because Mu You's appointment letter coincidentally marked the fragment No. 1 that the emperor was willing to use it as bait, on the one hand to lead Mu You away, and on the other hand to explore some intelligence.

Using a fragment that is almost useless in exchange for some important intelligence is obviously a good deal in the eyes of the other party.

"No matter what, with the map, at least I won't get lost in area No. 1 next time..."

Mu You took out the previous fragments and pieced them together, and the content on the fragment No. 1 was immediately displayed, and the way out was clearly marked.

Now he holds the fragments No. 125, and more than half of the road to the city center is already smooth.

As for the missing three and six, Mu You estimated that the chances of grabbing them were slim. Tianzi and others had suffered a loss before, and they would definitely not give him another chance to kill the explosion. The two fragments were probably moved away in advance.

In other words, he could only think of other ways to deal with the three and six areas.

"Let's take it one step at a time..."

Mu You shook his head, picked up map number one and started to read it, preparing to write down the contents of the map first.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a sound of breaking air behind him, and subconsciously dodged to the side.

"Be careful!"

Lin Xue's voice sounded half a beat late. At the same time, she had already rushed up with a sickle, and the blade passed by, easily cutting a soft-bodied creature in half in mid-air.

"Octopus?"

Mu You was stunned when he saw the creature cut off on the ground. It was actually an octopus the size of a palm.

"How can there be an octopus in such a place?" Mu You looked strange. There were no living creatures in this broken city, not even insects and plants. It was a dead city. It was too strange that a living octopus suddenly appeared at this time...

Just as he was thinking, he saw the octopus that was cut in half on the ground wriggling. The broken body was like slime, and it actually merged together again to form a complete octopus. It screamed and pounced on Mu You, and sprayed acid in the air.

This little octopus was only about level 4 or 5, and its attack power was very weak. Mu You casually let the venom pass, and the arc sword slashed a few times, and it was cut into eight pieces.

But what was surprising was that under such damage, the minced meat on the ground was still trying to wriggle, as if it wanted to gather together again.

Mu You simply raised the magic wand, with the tip facing down, and the flames gushed out, grilling the pile of octopus minced meat on the ground.

As a result, the imagined scene of the minced meat directly turning into charcoal grilled octopus did not happen. These minced meats seemed to have a high resistance to flames, and they still squirmed and gathered in the flames without paying attention to anyone.

"Unkillable octopus?" Mu You was a little interested. The survival ability of this thing was too abnormal.

Just as he was about to continue studying it, Xiaoya's exclamation suddenly sounded behind him: "Boss, look!"

Mu You and Lin Xue looked in the direction she pointed, but the scene they saw made them shudder at the same time.

On the street not far away, countless small octopuses with exactly the same appearance emerged from various buildings and climbed towards them.

The walls, streets, stone carvings, and doors were all covered with dense octopuses. This overwhelming scene is definitely the nightmare of all people with intensive phobia!

"?"

Mu You looked confused. What the hell is this?

The next moment, the octopuses seemed to riot collectively, piling up in front of them in layers, and finally condensed into a super-large octopus foot.

The octopus foot opened an eye and a mouth on its surface. When it saw Mu You below, it roared as if it had seen an enemy, and then the huge octopus foot twitched and crushed the three people.

The three people jumped away in a hurry, leaving the octopus foot empty, shaking the ground three times, and forming a huge gully on the spot.

Immediately after that, before the three people had time to catch their breath, the octopus foot instantly transformed into countless small octopuses, scrambling to climb out of the gully and continue to chase the three people.

Now the three people can only continue to run away. As for turning back to fight? I dare not even think about it. This number, coupled with the survival ability shown by this small octopus, cannot be dealt with by ordinary means. Once drowned by the octopus group, it is almost certain to die. At this time, I can only run away.

"You two come in, I'll run!"

Mu You took out an empty backpack, opened the entrance, and let Lin Xue and Xiao Ya in.

This place is also a world of its own. The backpack that held the chocobo before cannot be opened inside, and the mount cannot be used. At this time, you can only run on your two legs.

After the two entered the backpack, Mu You collected the package and hurriedly started to run again. Halfway through, he looked back and saw that the octopuses were still chasing him desperately, as if they had recognized him.

"Is it really that big of a grudge..." Mu You muttered secretly.

When the giant octopus foot appeared just now, the familiar pressure emanating from it, Mu You had confirmed the identity of this thing: the Octopus King!

Mu You didn't know how the Octopus King got in here by bugging in, but now this thing is much weaker than the Octopus King outside, probably only about one-tenth of its strength.

But even so, this thing is also a creature infinitely close to the legendary level, and it is definitely not something he can fight now.

Just when Mu You was running desperately in Area 1.

In another direction far away.

The emperor was resurrected here automatically, and woke up from the ground.

When he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by teammates with divine authority.

At this time, he was close to the exit of Area 1.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and his forehead was still slightly sweaty.

"How is it?" Seeing the emperor appear, Smile and the devil and others beside him hurried over to ask.

"Lost..."

"Isn't it normal to lose? You are taking too much risk!" Smile sighed.

"But the reward is worth it." The emperor said.

"Oh? What did you find out?" The devil asked hurriedly.

"Those two people are not legendary!" The emperor said affirmatively.

"Really?"

"Are you sure?"

The others' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they hurriedly asked.

"Um."

The emperor nodded: "The specific level is uncertain, but judging from the opponent's attributes during battle, the ghost captain's level should be around level 22-23. As for the other red sickle girl, the level is even lower. Her Adding points is quite extreme and it’s not easy to judge the level, but it will definitely not exceed level 21..."

"What about another one?" asked with a smile. They had received intelligence when they came in. The other party came in with three people. In addition to the ghost captain and the red sickle girl, there was another person.

"The other one's ID is hidden and his identity is unknown. However, except for his good summoning ability, this person's performance in other aspects is very mediocre. He should be just an ordinary player, but he was specially brought here by the ghost captain. Maybe he has some special abilities. ..." the emperor said.

"In short, there is no need to worry about this person. The ghost captain is indeed very strong and has many fighting methods. But as long as it is not a one-on-one encounter, there is no need to worry too much. At least their ability can be upgraded to the legendary level. It should be unusable here..."

The emperor paused as he spoke, and his eyes suddenly became solemn: "Actually, what really needs attention is the girl with the red sickle. To be precise, it is the sickle in her hand..."

"Oh? What?"

"Whether they are at the legendary level or not, that scythe is genuine. I can't say the specifics. In short, be careful not to be hit by that scythe, even if it is just a scratch..." Tianzi said.

When the others heard this, they looked at each other and couldn't even wipe it. Is it so scary?

"However, since the opponent's strength is only like this, can we... take action directly?" Smile thought for a while and said.

They had not dared to lead an army into a direct collision with the Ghost Captain before because they were afraid of the other party's legendary method, which could easily wipe out ordinary members of their team, and their advantage would be drastically reduced by then.

And now, since it is confirmed that the opponent does not have legendary strength, it seems that we can use the human sea tactic to bully the opponent with numbers...

"I think it's okay too!"

When the devil and others heard this, they were also quite moved. They were clearly the strongest team on paper, but they had been suppressed for so long by two so-called legendaries. They seemed to be passive at every turn. Many people in the team had long been unhappy and were looking forward to a fight with the cane.

"Captain Ghost has obtained the No. 1 fragment. He will probably be close to here soon... just ambush in front of the No. 2 entrance." The emperor pondered.

A head-on battle with the Ghost Captain now may take some time, and it may be difficult to kill the opponent and grab the second fragment, but as long as you can kick the opponent out, it is definitely worth it.

As for Jack's group on the other side, he ignored them.

Everyone else was excited when they heard this. The emperor obviously wanted to find the opponent to fight head-on.

Without saying anything else, everyone immediately rushed to the intersection ahead, found a position and quickly hid, waiting for the ghost captain to approach.

And Mu You didn't let them wait too long. About ten minutes later, everyone heard a noisy sound coming from the entrance of the street in the distance.

"coming!"

Everyone immediately stood ready, with weapons and attacks at the ready.

This place is the only way to enter Area 2, so there is no need to worry about the other party taking a detour.

"Why is there something wrong with this sound?" Smile listened to the movement in the distance, but couldn't help but frown.

Not only him, but others also noticed something was wrong at this time, because even the ground was shaking slightly at this moment.

Didn’t you say there were only three people? This movement looks like a great migration of animals. What is going on?

While I was confused, the noise in front of me was quickly approaching.

A few seconds later, a figure took the lead and crossed the street corner in front, revealing himself to everyone. It was undoubtedly the Ghost Captain.

At this moment, the ghost captain was running rapidly towards them, seemingly unaware of the trap ahead.

However, before everyone could be happy, they saw countless soft-bodied creatures emerging from behind the ghost captain, overwhelmingly climbing along the streets in all directions, approaching quickly. Locusts crossing the border and zombies sieging the city were not enough to describe what they were seeing. density of such organisms.

Everyone in the ambush here was suddenly dumbfounded.

"What is this?"

"octopus?"

"Why is there an octopus in this place..."

"This number must be at least more than 100,000..."

…

The scene in front of them was so exciting that when they saw the ghost captain approaching, everyone didn't know whether to attack or not.

If we take action now, it seems like we will get burned...

At this time, it was Mu You who was the first to discover the people hiding around him.

"Hey, everyone is here!"

"Just in time, come and help!"
