Chapter 29 Heart of the Oak Tree

The battle with Baal lasted a total of four and a half days, and it was completed one and a half days earlier than planned - when you are fully prepared for everything, success sometimes comes easier than imagined. /very literary/

Except for the killing of a little nurse, there were no accidents in the subsequent battle.

There was no such thing as Barr using teleportation to escape, and there was no such thing as this guy hiding any super moves—it was perverted enough, and there was no need to be perverted anymore.

If it weren't for the ability to repeatedly enter and exit the home field to make targeted preparations, and if it wasn't for the teleportation point that could be used repeatedly to restore consumption, theoretically adding two Broken Blade teams would not be able to kill this five-difficulty final SS.

To a certain extent, the difficulty of eliminating Barr is no less than that of eliminating Diablo in the second difficulty, but the home field advantage greatly offsets various disadvantages, so that everyone no longer has to pay the huge price they used to.

When Baal fell down again, Megatron took away the last soul in the sky, and Baal couldn't stand up again, everyone cheered excitedly at the same time.

Instead, Shen Yi let out a long sigh.

He sighed not because of anything else, but because the strength of the fifth difficulty was actually far beyond his original understanding—he thought that with Megatron, he could make up for the strength gap between the fourth and fifth difficulties, but facing a relatively In the interstellar world, the difficulty of Diablo V has been weakened in essence, and everyone needs to pay such energy and price in order to win.

It is conceivable that in the real interstellar battlefield, what kind of realm will be where the devil king is not as good as a dog, and the devil god walks everywhere.

In front of the overwhelming Zerg that flies like locusts, and in front of all kinds of broods that are as powerful as demon gods, what kind of bitter battles will the adventurers have to go through in order to win a small victory.

Perhaps, the strength of the Broken Blade team can already go sideways on the fourth difficulty, but they still have a lot of needs and space to improve their own strength.

The strength gap is getting bigger and bigger as you go up!

It was precisely because of this understanding that Shen Yi did not feel the slightest bit of excitement, but became more determined to improve himself at all costs in the next three mission worlds of the fourth difficulty. ~

King Kong came to Shen Yi with the diamond box dropped by Barr, and handed the box to him: "In four and a half days, 126 bottles of various potions were consumed, with a total value of 86,000 points, and the demon gun fired 80 times, equivalent to four Thirteen thousand and two hundred points of energy consumption, one recovery scroll, one use of the paralyzing ring, three immobilization charms, one box of healing bullets, half a box of armor-piercing bullets, one box of spiritual bullets, two and a half Heiner bottles, and then Plus the soul of the fallen angel... I hope Barr can give a decent reward.

"

"Don't count on it. In this case, no loss is a win. Shen Yi took the box and opened it.

Sure enough, there were still only four rewards inside.

A Baal's heart, a sacrifice, considering this guy's level strength, it is estimated that he can have more than 600 points of glory, which should be able to make up for the consumption of buying the Haina bottle and the recovery scroll.

A bloodline of the Destroyer Demon God, this should be the most valuable part of all the rewards. Baal's attack is too ferocious, once the adventurers master it, its power can be imagined.

A summoning scroll of the gate of hell, a one-time consumable, can open the gate of hell and continuously release hell demons to attack the opponent. It lasts for one hour, its own vitality is 30,000 points, and its defense power is 200. This item must be used by an adventurer with a magic position, and the quantity and quality of the released demons depends on the user's magic position.

Finally, there are five rune stones, but they are not complete sets. It is probably because other rewards have not been reduced, so there is no compensation.

Generally speaking, Barr's rewards are still decent. If you don't consider the investment in skills and equipment, and simply compare the consumption, it is barely the same.

For everyone, this is already something to be very proud of.

After killing Baal, Mephisto is next.

Because the city considers the overall strength when calculating the strength of the demon god, and the adventurers always consider the probability of survival. Therefore, although Mephisto's overall damage ability is stronger than Baal, but the lack of instant lethality makes him useless for adventurers. The attackers are far less of a threat than Barr.

This is also the result of different needs.

However, there is also a difficulty in dealing with Mephisto, that is, this guy is not Barr, as a hidden SS, it may appear anywhere, and the strategic position of the teleportation point is basically useless in the battle with Mephisto.

After resting for a period of time, everyone regained their physical strength and prepared to continue fighting.

Before letting Megatron lead out Murphys, Shen Yi asked Deckard Cain to help him synthesize the existing rune stones to see if they could further improve everyone's strength.

After looking at the rune stone, the old man said that the runes that Shen Yi needs are still a little short, and on the contrary, other sets of runes can be synthesized now.

Chain of Glory: Acting on armor, the defense power of the armor is increased by 50%, and the speed of life recovery is increased.

Hand of Justice: Acts on weapons, reduces stop time, increases attack speed, and freezes special effects with a rate of more than ten percent.

Heart of the Oak Tree: Acting on stave weapons, when using professional skills, reduce the consumption of mental power by 20%, shorten the cooling time by 20%, increase the casting distance by 20%, and make the weapon have the ability to restore mental power A skill that restores 40 points of mental power each time, and can be used twice a day.

These three sets of runes are quite good runes, but because the required rune stones occupy each other, they can only choose to synthesize one set in the end.

Shen Yi finally chose to synthesize the heart of the oak tree. Shi Mumu used the staff weapon, and this set of runes was the most suitable for her. To deal with Mephisto, you need to rely on her powerful recovery skills, and upgrading her is also a reduction in your own cost. In addition, she and Ivy are sisters, and she is a very low-key person and a good girl, so Shen Yi doesn't mind helping her a little bit.

However, this battle also made Shen Yi realize that the Broken Blade team still has many shortcomings in terms of lasting combat power.

Starting from the fourth difficulty, the strength of demon gods has generally increased, and there are many souls. Without a full-time nurse, it is far from enough to consume only a small amount of recovery skills or drinking potions, and the cost is too high.

The reason why the Chariot of Ashes has Meryl is because the Purgatory Sect is well aware of the problems in the later stages of the city, so it has put a lot of effort into the configuration of the logistics staff early on.

It's a pity that before it could play its real role, the Chariot of Ashes was defeated by Team Broken Blade.

Now they rely on Shi Mumu to complete the cleaning of the home field, and they will have to face other tasks on their own in the future.

With the blessing of the heart of the oak tree, Shi Mumu's recovery ability has been improved again, and everyone is more confident in dealing with Mephisto.

Let Megatron go out for a circle, and it didn't take long for Mephisto to be drawn out again.

A new battle broke out.

Unlike fighting Barr, this time not only M7 and the Dragon Tooth team continued to leave the battlefield, but even Fatty Zhou Yiyu, Wei Na and Wenrou also left the battlefield.

Only Megatron, Shen Yi, Hong Lang, and King Kong fought against Murphys.

Three hundred meters away from the battlefield, Shi Mumu, Wen Rou, Zhou Yiyu, Fatty, Bumblebee, Hera and a large number of Terminator formed the second echelon.

At this distance, the gentle Judgment Blade can still cause damage to Mephisto, Shi Mumu's spells and Fatty's aura can still have an effect on everyone, and the long-range attacks of Hornet Hera and Terminator can also play a role.

Behind them, Luo Sheng, Lao Meng and others formed the third echelon. They continued to maintain the supply of spiritual power, and at the same time, Lao Meng sent undead soldiers to the front at a rate of one every half a minute to act as cannon fodder to absorb firepower.

This hierarchical arrangement ensures that when Mephisto uses his ultimate ability, only the least number of people will take the damage. Since Shi Mumu's Life Blessing consumes mental power according to the number of people, when Shi Mumu only protects three When they were human, their spiritual power was sufficient with the support of everyone, which made their consumption of potions and energy stones drop to the lowest point.

For Shen Yi, eliminating Mephisto is no longer a problem, how to kill Mephisto at the least cost is the key - killing a Barr has already cost them a lot, and they have to earn some money from Mephisto no matter what. came back.

Speaking of which, Mephisto is also considered unlucky.

In terms of real combat power, Mephisto, who has six arms and six weapons, has stronger melee combat ability than Barr, and his every attack is three times that of other SS. Enough to scare off adventurers. However, this factor was neutralized by the existence of Megatron, making it impossible for him to exert his strong advantage in melee combat.

His persistent killing skills were not threatening because of Shi Mumu and others. Since there are only three adventurers fighting with him, not to mention Shi Mumu, even Wei Na, Fatty, Luo Sheng and others can treat Shen Yi and the others. With fifteen people supporting the three-man battle, it is conceivable that the Broken Blade team's long-lasting combat power has been greatly improved.

However, this is not his greatest restraint.

It was Shen Yi himself who really restrained him.

Under the frenzied attack of Hong Langjingang and others, Mephisto finally fell down again after giving out an unwilling cry. Shen Yi quickly bullied him and used plunder continuously on Mephisto.

This time he was lucky, and the plunder was finally successful.

"You have obtained the double A-level special weapon, the Heavenly Claw."

"Attack power 7882. Comes with special effect madness: After attacking the target, it will produce madness and confusion effect, which will remind the victim of all the unpleasant memories in the past, deepen the pain and arouse hatred."

This is a rather troublesome weapon. In the previous two battles, Mephisto used this weapon to mess up everyone in the Broken Blade team. Fortunately, Shen Yi had the Holy Blood Recovery to break it, but his dragon A lot of blood has been consumed by continuous transformation, but it can't stand such repeated tossing, so Shen Yi's first looting is this weapon.

After getting the weapon, Shen Yi casually threw it to Wei Na, and said in a long voice, "This is yours."

Wei Na accepted it with a smile.

So when Mephisto revived, he was shocked to find that he had one less weapon in his hand.

Looking at his astonished face, Shen Yi said leisurely: "Don't worry, buddy, we have fun. I promise, I will take off all the weapons on your body. Aren't you very good at resurrection? The more times you resurrect The more, the more opportunities I have."

"I want all six of your weapons!"
