Chapter 1520 Explosion Annihilation and the Second Stage [Subscription Request]

Looking at the solemn Yama team in front of him, Zong Shen looked particularly stern.

He could see that these Yama soldiers had distinct undead characteristics.

But they were different from ordinary undead, and obviously had better, or more natural, discipline.

About this, some clues can be seen from the formation of the army.

As a derivative of [Dark Yama King·Ming], all Yama soldiers have crossed the boundary between life and death.

It is no exaggeration to say that if they had not been taken in by King Arthur.

In time, the Yama system might be able to become an independent tribe.

And the origin of [Dark Yama King·Ming] is also a mystery.

After combining the prompt information given by the strategy module, Zong Shen had some guesses in his mind, but he did not make any rash assertions.

After all, the Endless Continent has long had a diversified world background.

Coupled with secondary spaces such as demiplanes, and various dimensional worlds.

All make everything possible.

This also made Zong no longer surprised.

Behind him was the army under his command.

Most of them were composed of sixth-level and fifth-level soldiers.

At this time, they were quickly arranged into an orderly queue according to his instructions.

However, Zong Shen had no intention of letting these soldiers go into battle, because he always stood at the front, like a reef that still stood when facing the huge waves.

If the entire team was an arrow.

Then he himself was the sharpest arrow.

There were no cavalry among the Yanyu soldiers, and there were about 30 sixth-level [Yanyu Halberd Warriors] at the front.

These tall and mighty warriors were wearing black helmets and black armor, and their bodies were covered tightly.

Only at the joints of the armor were there light gray dark flames jumping.

This kind of flame was extremely inconspicuous and looked the same color as the surrounding environment.

They made the figures of the halberd warriors a little blurry.

Behind each sixth-level [Yanyu Halberd Warrior] were three teams of lower-level halberd warriors, each forming a charging horn.

They will serve as the vanguard of the Hell Prison soldiers and take on the heavy responsibility of charging.

These thousands of halberd soldiers are the sharp blades on the opposite side, and they are also the first impact that Zong Shen's side will face.

This confrontation between the two armies is full of oppression.

Especially there is a countdown in the air urging the battle.

There is no communication between the two sides. Although Zong Shen is standing alone in the front, he bears the murderous momentum from the Hell Prison soldiers.

He is like an indestructible barrier, perfectly bearing the confrontation of momentum.

And behind him, the soldiers recruited from the territory are not affected at all.

The front and back of him are like two worlds.

On the cracked ground, the gray and white dry grass are all crushed to the ground by the momentum condensed into substance.

The invisible fluctuations even carry dust and slowly pile up next to Zong Shen's boots.

Let's not talk about the special legend [Dark King of Hell·Ming].

Just these Hell Prison soldiers under his command make Zong Shen very interested.

In the outside world, as long as they accumulate enough, they are definitely a very powerful type of soldiers.

Time passed steadily, and the countdown returned to zero.

"Buzz!"

A strange buzzing sound appeared and disappeared in an instant.

It was like a charge horn.

15,000 Hell Prison soldiers, regardless of their rank and type, took the first step at almost the same time, and the unison of their steps formed a resonance that made the earth tremble slightly.

Then the differentiation in the team appeared.

Thirty halberd soldiers led by the sixth-level [Hell Prison Halberd Warriors] suddenly accelerated and changed their formation in just a few seconds, resulting in thirty staggered "arrows" in front of the Hell Prison soldiers' queue.

In Zong Shen's enhanced vision, it can be clearly seen that those halberd soldiers have opened the [Sharp] state.

Those halberds suddenly lit up with gray-white light.

This is just the beginning.

Almost the next moment, all the halberd soldiers launched the [Forward Sprint].

The thirty "arrows" visibly accelerated their forward speed and separated from the main force.

The scene was quite spectacular from the angle.

The distance of 800 meters was nothing to both sides.

With the current sprint speed of the halberd soldiers, it would take less than half a minute to cross.

"In a trial of this intensity, a team of 1,500 people would normally be difficult to stop."

Zong Shen made a decision in an instant.

The difficulty of this trial lies in the restriction on the number of soldiers the lord can bring.

There are strict regulations on the number of soldiers that can be brought in at each level.

For most lords, this is tantamount to increasing the difficulty to the "epic level".

Only by reasonably arranging 1,500 soldiers of limited levels and making the best use of personal combat power and item advantages can we overcome this difficulty.

However, in Zong Shen's view, things are not that complicated.

If you want to solve the problem, there is no need to arrange troops at all, and he doesn't even have to do it himself.

Ignoring the tremors coming from the gray ground beneath his feet, he quickly threw a palm-sized puppet forward.

With its powerful strength, the puppet crossed a distance of five or six hundred meters in the blink of an eye like a baseball, and landed behind the Yanyu Jishi who were charging at the front.

In the mid-air, the puppet's body continued to grow until it returned to its normal size.

Zong Shen's body remained motionless, and his eyes followed the puppet downward.

Even though there was a distance of hundreds of meters, he seemed to be able to see the lines on the puppet after it recovered.

Lines representing death and destruction...

The next moment, the landing point of the puppet in the distance burst into dazzling light.

The suddenly expanding light ball spread to the distance in an instant.

The first to be swallowed were the soldiers of the Hell.

They were just barely showing their edge, and they were annihilated before they could show their force.

The dense damage values ​​appeared almost at the same time as the explosion.

From Zong Shen's perspective, the values ​​in front of him almost blocked his vision at a certain moment.

The light ball stopped expanding about a hundred meters in front of Zong Shen, but the shock wave it set off swept all the way.

Finally, when the shock wave swept in front of Zong Shen, an invisible barrier appeared, like a solid shell, blocking all the airflow.

And the territory soldiers who had basically completed the reorganization in the back relied on a solid formation to withstand the aftermath.

They were outside the damage range and were not affected too much.

They were not panicked, nor were they frustrated.

Zong Shen had not deployed them for the first wave.

The strength of the monster room might be considered extremely difficult for other lords.

It was also a copy with a limited number of participants per day.

But in Zong's eyes, this was at best a legendary test.

Participating in it was more for testing.

As the airflow dissipated, the bright explosion ball in front gradually dimmed, revealing a huge pit.

Wisps of hot air rose from it, but no remains of the Hell soldiers could be seen.

This kind of explosion with annihilation properties has always been clean and neat.

"This puppet is quite useful."

"In addition to letting it move on its own, throwing it directly is also a good choice."

Zong Shen nodded secretly, and at the same time recalled the relevant information about the puppet in his heart.

[Self-destruction Puppet (Gold)]

[Gold Epic]

[Race: Puppet]

[Blunt Damage: 713~717]

[Explosion Damage: 120000]

[Firmness: 32500]

[Armor Value: 125]

[Magic Resistance: 120]

[Number of Rebirths: 9/10]

[Active Skill: Self-destruction (detonates itself, causing indiscriminate explosion damage within a radius of 500 meters)]

[Passive Skill: Sprint (Self-destruction Puppet has a 200% movement speed bonus and ignores most deceleration effects)]

…

To deal with such a cluster of enemies with a low upper limit of strength, he would not be stupid enough to chop them hard.

Going directly with [Self-destruction Puppet (Gold)] is the easiest choice.

The explosion damage of up to 120,000 points and the killing range of 500 meters are enough to easily kill those Hell soldiers.

Facts have proved that as long as the props are strong enough, it is not difficult to pass the first level.

For example, the [Self-Destruction Puppet] used by Zong Shen was, after all, just a golden epic item.

As a projected test, the consumption of items here will not affect the outside world.

In other words, as long as you leave the dungeon space, the number of uses of [Self-Destruction Puppet (Gold)] will be restored.

This made Zong Shen very satisfied, after all, saving is gaining.

When the last wisp of dust settled, a row of eye-catching prompts also jumped out in front of Zong Shen's sight.

[Goal of the first stage: Defeat 15,000 Hell Soldiers with the current configuration]

[Kill more than 10,000 Hell Soldiers to enter the next stage]

[Current stage completed]

[Time: 8.21 seconds]

[Rating: 150 (MAX)]

[The next stage announcement will be pushed in 5 minutes]

...

In the first stage, Zong Shen had almost no delay. When the preparation time ended and the Hell Soldiers launched an offensive, he threw out the [Self-Destruction Puppet].

Therefore, no time was wasted.

From the beginning to the end, eight seconds is a relatively accurate value.

He also got the first stage upper limit score of 150 points.

There is nothing to be proud of, but it is expected.

Shortly after the settlement prompt of the first stage flashed, a new prompt emerged in his mind.

[The second stage is evolving, the projection scene is being generated]

[A new test is being simulated]

…

The surrounding scene also changed at the same time.

The originally clear light and shadow became blurry and strange.

As far as the eye can see, only the space occupied by everyone is still clear.

Such a scene is definitely rare, as if there is a mysterious power that is forcibly blending and creating a new space scene.

However, in a semi-digital world, the creative power of evolution, generation, and simulation seems to be nothing surprising.

Zong Shen observed with interest, witnessing the surrounding scene gradually return to clarity from blur.

The extremely fluctuating visual picture made him feel that the time sequence around him had become a little disordered.

Because the new space scene is like a fast-forward picture that is refreshed and stacked, which makes people feel a little abrupt, but they can't help but feel amazed.

Because if such power is expanded to the outside world, it can almost be called "creation", which makes Zong Shen yearn for it.

Time passed quickly, and when the surrounding scene was completely clear, everyone seemed to have come to a brand new place.

[Evolution Completed]

[Phase 2 goal: Cross the Hell Lake and reach the Dark Hell Hall]

[Countdown: 5 minutes]

[Restriction rules: No flying, space movement, self-healing and wind magic]

[The water of the Hell Lake can cause damage equivalent to 1.5% of the individual's upper limit of health per second]

[The natural and holy light elements here are extremely thin, and the spellcasting effects of the corresponding systems will be weakened to 10% of the normal state]

[Every life that dies in the Hell Lake will form a reef that can be walked on within 5 minutes after its death]

…

The announcement slowly emerged and gradually dissipated, leaving only the countdown changing.

Zong Shen frowned slightly, and finally felt a little tricky.

Different from the test of fighting with real swords and guns based on comprehensive strength.

This test with clear rules and restrictions is still more troublesome.

"No flying, no spatial displacement, no self-healing effects and wind magic..."

"Even the power of natural and holy light spells will be reduced to 10%."

"This is forcing the lord to swim across the Hell Lake."

Zong Shen muttered to himself without a tremor.

He looked around, and when the scene ended, the gray soil not far away disappeared.

Zong Shen stood on an island in the middle of the lake with the territory army behind him.

Surrounding them was a gray lake water that looked so sticky that it was bubbling.

Zong Shen could sense a heart-pounding breath of destruction from the lake water.

Because it was a projection world, everything in it could not be taken out.

So he had no idea of ​​collecting lake water.

According to the announcement, when an individual dies in the lake, a reef will be formed.

This reef can be used as a foothold.

The distance from the island in the middle of the lake to the shore is about four or five kilometers.

Without the blessing of magic and space effects, even with Zong Shen's attributes, it is difficult to quickly cross this distance.

But as long as the calculation is proper, it can be filled with human lives.

After all, there are 820 territory soldiers on standby.

This should also be a choice left by the lord system.

If enough troops can be retained in the challenge of the previous stage.

Then here you can rely on sacrificing your soldiers to survive the Yanyu Lake.

The smaller the loss in the previous stage, the greater the advantage in this stage.

Zong Shen guessed the intention of the second stage after a little thought and found the simplest solution mode.

However, this idea flashed through his mind.

In any case, Zong Shen still finds it difficult to accept the behavior of treating his subordinates as consumables.

Although human lives are destined to be worthless in the big war mode.

The battle of the Dagalisni Giant City not long ago caused him to lose tens of thousands of elite troops.

Of course, as a reward, he got an entire giant city, including the remaining garrison and mercenary corps, which is a loss and a gain.

But as long as there is a choice, he will try to avoid this kind of thing.

The stage-limited rules blocked most of the opportunistic ways, but did not completely cut off the alternative solutions.

As long as there are enough strange objects on hand, there will always be a way to bypass the rules!

Zong Shen is very confident about this. (End of this chapter)
