Chapter 180: Defeat the Evil Dragon’s Arrow
Among the three options, only the third option was in line with Lin Xun's sneak attack plan.
As for the second option of air combat, Lin Xun speculated that the 'Black Thorn Demon' also has the ability to fly.
If he chooses to fight in the air, the Valkyrie cannot attack while riding, which is equivalent to weakening the output and cutting off an arm.
With this thought, he gave the attack order to the Valkyrie, and then pressed the third option.
[You raise your staff and recite the incantation silently...]
[‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ opened her long bow and hummed a melody. The characters on the arrow surface flowed and white light flashed...]
[She loosened the bow string, a ray of white light cut through the darkness, and the arrow quickly shot towards the warm light. 】
[A white light flashes, and a howl that echoes through the abyss echoes in your ears. 】
[You pronounce the last syllable of the spell. 】
[Bright stars gather in front of you, and golden thunder circles around the stars...]
[Endless starlight blooms in the blink of an eye! 】
[The bottom of the entire abyss is as bright as day, and you have clearly seen the true face of the 'Black Thorn Demon'...]
[It looks like a giant snake magnified a thousand times, with long black spines growing on its back. Four huge black wings cover most of the body of the winding snake. There are two huge heads connected to the snake-like body. 】
[One head has a strange human-like face, with a lantern-like warm light hanging from the top of its head, and the other head has a vicious and ferocious snake head. 】
[As the stars bloom, the 'Black Thorn Demon' seems to be slightly injured, and its strange face is full of pain. 】
[And the other snake head opens its big mouth, showing its fangs, and attacks you quickly...]
Lin Xun gave instructions to the Valkyrie according to the tactics he had planned in advance.
As long as the Valkyrie steps forward to contain the BOSS, he can hide behind and deal output stably.
[The ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ flapped her wings and flew into the air. She shot arrows repeatedly, trying to attract the attention of the ‘Black Thorn Demon’. 】
[Blood flowers bloom on the body of the 'Black Thorn Demon', and the huge snake head rushes straight towards you without stopping at all! 】
"...This BOSS doesn't play according to the rules!"
He never expected that his usually tried-and-true tactics would fail.
The 'Black Thorn Demon' completely ignored Valkyrie's attack and wanted to kill him who was hiding behind.
Lin Xun took a deep breath without panicking at all.
Because he is 'cautious by nature', he also prepared a plan B.
[You raise your hand and the ‘Pre-stored Spell Ring’ shines...]
[The ‘Knowledge Grating’ rises from the ground to protect you firmly! 】
[In the fishy wind blowing towards your face, you calmly opened a pink eye...]
[The special skill ‘Happy Smoke Vision’ is activated! 】
[The huge snake head suddenly stiffened and paused...]
[You take the opportunity to quickly retreat to a safe distance, and wave your hand to raise a 'knowledge grating' to protect yourself. 】
【You feel a little tired! 】
Lin Xun smiled slightly.
The demon BOSS is really powerful. Even the legendary skill Meteor Light can only cause "some damage" to it.
However, Master Fa's body can control and output at the same time. Although it consumes a lot of mental energy, it is enough to knock the BOSS into a semi-disabled state.
As expected, when the fatigue value was about to be exhausted, he replaced the overworked Guild Leader's body and switched to the Earth Giant to step forward to finish the damage.
The tactics are perfect!
[The huge snake head is still frozen in the distance. You raise your staff and recite the spell silently again...]
【……】
[While you are reciting a spell, you suddenly notice something is wrong. The snake head in the distance seems to be frozen motionless, but the snake message in its mouth is still hesitating. 】
[You seem to see a hint of joking in the vertical pupils of the snake head...]
[A huge strange face pokes out from the darkness behind you. It crushes the 'knowledge grating' in one bite and swallows you into its belly! 】
[Your vision goes dark...]
【……】
【you are dead! 】
? ? ?
"Wang Defa? I'm going back to the city for free?"
Lin Xun's eyes widened in disbelief.
[Ordinary wandering souls are reborn in the Multi-View Association...]
The bad news is that he died, the good news is that Valkyrie didn't die.
He looks back at texts from before his death for clues.
The defense of the 'Black Thorn Demon' doesn't seem to be very strong, and the Valkyrie's attack can easily break through the defense.
The legendary skill ‘Meteor Light’ hits an enemy and can cause considerable damage.
According to the usual rhythm, even if the containment plan fails, he can still use the alternative plan to control and output at the same time, dealing huge amounts of damage.
‘Happy Smoke Vision’ has indeed controlled the BOSS, but the control duration is not satisfactory and cannot support him to release the light of the meteor.
The most important thing is that while one head of the BOSS is controlled, the other head can move freely.
This was far beyond his expectation.
"How to kill the Black Thorn Demon?"
Lin Xun fell into deep thought.
He opened his inventory to look for items.
After looking through it for a long time, I still couldn't find any relevant props that can restrain the BOSS.
"Could it be that the 'Eye of Overlord's Calling' needs to be used here?"
A powerful item that could be used as a trump card, Lin Xun was reluctant to use it like this.
If there were other ways to defeat the BOSS, he would definitely save his trump card props.
Suddenly, an untransplanted eyeball in the inventory came into view.
['Eyeball of the Shadow Demon King' (epic level)... This prop needs to be used with the empty eye socket. After use, there will be a certain probability of obtaining the special effect 'Dark Shadow'. 】
His eyes lit up and he hurried straight to the 'Eyeball Laboratory' on the second floor of the building.
[You step into the ‘Eyeball Laboratory’...]
[Bennett, wearing a beak mask, is operating the experimental equipment in front of the experimental table. It seems that he has learned the knowledge of 'eyeball fusion' and is trying related experimental techniques normally. 】
[When it sees you coming, it quickly puts down what it is doing and asks you if you need an eye transplant? 】
[You nodded, took out the 'Eyeball of the Shadow Demon King' and handed it to it...]
【……】
This transplant operation did not go smoothly.
Lin Xun had two 'Shadow Demon King's Eyeballs'.
He wanted to know the specific effect called 'dark shadow' first, so he transplanted only one eye into Master Fa's body.
As a result, Master Faye's body did not obtain the special effect of 'dark shadow'.
He did not believe in evil and repeatedly removed his eyeballs for transplantation, but the results were always the same.
After Bennett's reminder, he learned that there were two possibilities for this situation.
One is that the strange power contained in the eyeball is too little to support the body to realize special effects. Maybe getting another eyeball of the same type can make the operation go smoothly.
Second, the strange power contained in the eyeballs does not match the body, causing the body to be unable to assimilate the power in the eyeballs.
Lin Xun could only try to transplant the body continuously, which made Bennett very tired.
When a pair of eyes were transplanted to the dancer's body, he finally understood the 'dark shadow' successfully.
['Dark Shadow' (special effect), underground shadow magic can hide in the dark and move quickly, making it impossible to catch their shadow. As the eyes that concentrate the essence of the shadow demon's power, of course it has the same effect. 】
[Acquiring this effect will strengthen your concealment skills, making it difficult to see through]
[This enhancement effect is linked to the light brightness of the current environment. In a dim environment, your stealth effect will be greatly enhanced. 】
Lin Xun had mixed feelings.
Fortunately, the most practical stealth skill has finally been strengthened, and the dancers have the opportunity to appear again.
What's worrying is that the 'Dark Shadow' doesn't have much help in conquering the underground demon BOSS.
Unless the dancer can kill the BOSS with one strike, he will still appear after the attack, wasting a little bit of soul strength.
"If Master Fa has invisibility skills that can adapt to the strengthening effect of the eyeballs, then the demon BOSS will be easily captured."
After unleashing his skills, the master would disappear and run away, lurking to a safe distance before casting spells and chanting... This cycle is equivalent to joining the "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect", which is no different from cheating.
However, the enhancement effect of the eyeball is linked to the brightness of the environment. If it is in a brightly lit place, the enhancement effect will be greatly weakened.
Lin Xun pondered for a long time, but still didn't think of a way to defeat the demon BOSS.
He thought for a long time and decided to use the most primitive method - flying bricks with great force.
If you can't kill the BOSS, it means that he is not strong enough. In the face of absolute strength, there is no need for any restraint skills or restraint props.
"Maybe the devil BOSS is a BOSS that has to be pushed hard, and there is no way to skip classes."
At this time, there is still more than half an hour left before the soul strength returns to two points.
If you want to rebuild Master Fa's body, you have to wait until half an hour to fight the BOSS again.
Calculating the spiritual energy in my pocket, I have already saved 590,000 yuan, which is quite a huge sum of money.
Among them, the contribution of the 'Mysterious Monsters' was indispensable, greatly increasing the thickness of his wallet.
There is so much spirituality and it just happens to be stuck, so it would be unreasonable not to strengthen the strength.
Lin Xun took advantage of the fact that his soul strength had not yet recovered and teleported back to the library.
【……】
[You step forward and touch the ‘Book of Transaction’, and the ordinary wandering soul will resonate with the book...]
In the strategy chapter, Netherworld Game will automatically block the available props related to the chapter content.
It is not practical to rely on the Book of Trading to buy and sell strategy items.
However, where there are rules, there are loopholes. The Apostolic Council has thoughtfully launched relevant services for registered apostles.
The item trading section in the Apostle Forum has a channel for purchasing designated items.
Officials have made a lot of money through trading channels and are extremely rich...
Lin Xun rummaged through the book of transactions.
Since he has not yet completed the fourth difficulty level, all the items displayed and sold in the book are items that do not exceed this level of difficulty.
There were very few epic-level equipment in the Book of Trade. After looking through all the top-level equipment, he only saw three pieces of epic+ level equipment.
Compared to the hundreds of thousands of souls worth of epic-level weapons, there are only two pieces of epic+-level armor in the Book of Trade, one selling for 380,000 yuan and the other for 450,000 yuan.
And the epic + level weapon named 'Sword of Victory and Oath (Imitation)' has a listed price of 9, which is only 1 point of spirituality away from the million price...
"I'm really... You're selling it so expensively. Who can afford a fourth-difficulty apostle?"
Lin Xun cursed and looked for arrows for the Valkyrie.
Most of the equipment on his body is of epic level. Replacing two pieces of epic+ level weapons and armor will not bring about a qualitative improvement.
It is better to use spirituality to buy a few powerful arrows for the Valkyrie, which will bring about a big improvement.
Lin Xun had a lot of money in his pocket, so he searched for arrows and sorted them in descending order of selling price, only buying the most expensive and awesome arrows.
After looking at the arrow ranked first, he closed the sales channel directly.
"Who are you looking down on... Can twenty-nine thousand arrows be worthy of a Valkyrie?"
He clicked on the auction channel and continued to search for arrows.
There are not many arrows for sale in the auction channel, and the prices range from high to low.
Suddenly, an arrow locked his gaze.
[Arrow to Defeat the Evil Dragon (epic arrow), a thick arrow stained with blood. The arrowhead is not sharp but very blunt. This seemingly ordinary arrow had killed several evil dragons, and it was deeply infected with dragon blood. 】
[Use this arrow, and after it is shot, it will be blessed by the soul of the evil dragon, greatly increasing the power of the arrow. 】
[This arrow is only suitable for heavy bows such as longbows and giant bows. 】
[Item starting price: 50,000, each increase in price shall not be less than 5,000 spiritual points. 】
[Current price of the item: 71,000, remaining auction time 0:21:36]
Lin Xun clicked the arrow and faced the pop-up option of whether to participate in the price increase.
Without hesitation, he clicked on the increase price and raised the price to 80,000 souls.
The price of high-end arrows is not low. Although it is not as good as the bow itself, it can reach up to half or even more than half the price of the same grade.
The price of the epic bows in the library ranges from about 100,000 to 200,000 yuan.
The selling price of this powerful arrow is not too high.
Lin Xun waited patiently after bidding.
He wasn't worried about someone raising the price at the last second to buy the arrows.
Simply because after he made his bid, the text showing the remaining auction time had changed from twenty-one minutes to one hour.
After waiting for a long time, when there were only ten minutes left in the auction, someone raised the price to 85,000.
Lin Xun was too lazy to bother and directly increased the price to 100,000 souls.
He is still eager to return to the chapter to push the BOSS.
After waiting for a long time, no one bid again until the countdown ended.
The spiritual price of 100,000 yuan seemed to scare off a group of buyers who were waiting to buy.
Lin Xun successfully harvested a powerful arrow.
Satisfied, he returned to the Hell chapter and inserted the 'Arrows to Defeat the Evil Dragon' into the Valkyrie's quiver.
With everything ready, he decided to change his posture and push the BOSS!
【……】
[‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ takes you slowly down to the ground. 】
[The bottom of the abyss is full of foul-smelling sludge, and the black sludge submerges your ankles and reaches the middle of your calf. 】
[You vaguely see a faint warm light in the boundless darkness in the distance. 】
[Resurrection from the dead, you understand in your heart that it is the method of the 'ancient abyss demon - the black thorn demon' to lure food. 】
[What should you do? 】
The game text again pops up with three options.
Lin Xun ignored the options given by the underworld game and attacked directly!
[You raise two staffs and recite the incantation silently...]
【……】
[‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ drew a thick arrow from her back and placed it on the long bow...]
[She looked at the little warm light in the darkness, hummed a moving melody, and slowly closed her eyes. 】
[Countless tiny characters flowed around the 'Arrow to Defeat the Evil Dragon', and then a white light flashed...]
[The dragon roars across the abyss! 】
[The arrow turned into a pure white dragon and shot towards the 'Black Thorn Demon'! 】
[You pronounce the last syllable of the spell. 】
[Bright starlight illuminates the boundless darkness! 】
[Starlight and the pure white dragon hit the ferocious face together. Under the powerful attack, the head instantly turned into ashes! 】
[‘Black Thorn Demon’ was seriously injured! 】
[The ferocious snake head attacks you. Amid the fishy wind, you calmly open one of your pink eyes. 】
[The special skill ‘Happy Smoke Vision’ is activated! 】
[The huge snake head suddenly froze...]
It's now!
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and quickly switched bodies.
[You are possessed by the body of the ‘fallen earth giant’! 】
[Your size suddenly increases, and in a blink of an eye you become a giant standing tall and tall! 】
[You open one red eye. 】
[The special skill ‘Flowing Fire Burning Eyes’ is activated! 】
[The 'Ancient Dragon Teeth Giant Stick' in his hand lit up a raging fire, and the light of the 'Eternal Flame' illuminated the darkness. 】
[You let out a shocking roar, waved the weapon in your hand, and smashed it at the 'Black Thorn Demon'. 】
[The terrifying wind pressure carried the raging flames and hit the huge snake-like monster. 】
[‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ used the light of the fire to pull her long bow and attack the devil’s other snake...]
[The 'Black Thorn Demon' was injured again, and the wriggling snake body wrapped you around. Your giant-like figure was like a young child in front of the ancient abyss demon. 】
[Being entangled and squeezed, the bones all over your body made an overwhelming clicking sound. You yelled angrily and tried your best, but you couldn't break free from the demon's shackles. 】
[The Valkyrie frequently shoots arrows at the 'Black Thorn Demon', but cannot attract its attention. The snake-shaped demon still wraps around you. 】
[You gradually feel severe pain in the bones all over your body and have difficulty breathing...]
[You realize that death is coming! 】
[The 'Black Thorn Demon' raises its snake head high, opens its huge mouth full of poisonous fangs, and comes from top to bottom, wanting to devour you...]
[When the devil raised its head, you suddenly discovered that there was a huge blood-red spot on its belly. 】
[You open a huge pale eye...]
[Special skill ‘Weakness Insight’ is activated! 】
[Your knowledge is not as good as the enemy, the judgment is in progress...]
[Due to the blessing effect of similar eyeballs, the judgment was successful! 】
[You have discovered the fatal weakness of the ‘Black Thorn Demon’! 】
[Your next attack will have a high probability of hitting its weak point! 】
[‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ quickly drew the bow string and shot at the blood-red spots on the devil’s belly. 】
[The snake-like demon spreads four giant black wings to cover its fatal weakness. 】
[The ‘Black Thorn Demon’ swung its giant tail and whipped the Valkyrie away in mid-air, but it still hasn’t let go of its entanglement on you. 】
[You have severe pain all over your body, difficulty breathing, and your limbs are gradually becoming weak...]
[The snake-shaped demon will swallow you into its belly...]
【……】
【you are dead! 】
Lin Xun put down his phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of his shallow knowledge, he almost forgot about his 'weakness insight' after several failed judgments that his knowledge was not as good as the enemy's.
Unexpectedly, after transplanting the eyeball of the 'Ancient King Crimson Dragon', even if the amount of knowledge is not as good as that of the enemy, there is still a probability of success.
"This is the first time I've fallen down twice in a row at the hands of the same monster... It's really a record."
Lin Xun sighed, but he was not discouraged at all.
Because he has found a way to kill the 'Black Thorn Demon'!
