Chapter 125: Get Rid of the Tail

There are leveling areas on both sides of the road we are on, but now our place is a triangular area. On the right is a small triangular forest, and only the left is the real leveling area. We’re not here to level up anyway, so there’s no need to choose anything and we just dive right in.

The leveling area here is different from the common leveling areas. This is a relatively advanced leveling area, or a highly difficult leveling area, and its level has exceeded what most players can currently handle. difficulty level, so the number of players here is almost zero. It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to come, it’s just that they can’t come.

Because there are almost no people in the leveling area, more monsters are spawned. Although the system also has a self-balancing system, when the number of monsters reaches a certain peak, it will no longer increase, but in any case, the current number of monsters definitely exceeds the normal number of monsters here. If it were a low-level area, there would be more monsters if there were more monsters, so it wouldn't be a big deal. But this is a high-level area, and with such a high density of monsters, most people would be looking for death if they came in. Fortunately, there are no ordinary people here, otherwise I would not dare to lead people into this place.

"Do you feel anything?" After entering the forest, I turned to ask Christina. I saw that she had activated the large-scale detection technique before. With her magic level, the coverage area should not be less than a thousand meters in radius. , this range is actually very large in the dense forest.

Christina waited for a while before speaking: "There are currently no major problems within the sensing range. There is an unknown creature seventy meters ahead on the left. However, the energy intensity is very low, so it should not be a dangerous creature."

"Then continue to monitor. Let's go deeper and pay attention to detecting those guys behind. We have to avoid them."

"Should we take them into the deep mountains?" Radamantis Niutou asked us: "We have strong self-protection capabilities. Let's take them into the high-level boss area. When they come into contact with the boss, we will take the opportunity to retreat. Get out. This should be fine, right?"

"That's all we can do now, but everyone, please pay attention, our purpose is to let them exchange fire with the boss so that we can evacuate easily, but don't get ourselves trapped. We are not here to push the boss!"

"Don't worry about this. We are not adventurers, and we don't have the same hobbies as you." After Aphrodite said that, she turned to Christina and asked: "Have you sensed the location of those people now?"

"Three targets were found at five o'clock on the right rear. But they are not coming towards us. They probably don't know we have entered the woods yet. They should be looking for us outside."

"They won't be looking for long. Let's go inside first and then talk about it."

Christina said with some confusion: "But my maximum sensing range is only 1,200 meters. If we go deep into the forest, I won't be able to see the people outside."

"There is no need for you to keep an eye on me. Let my ghost bugs go. Your specialty is reconnaissance, not surveillance."

"Okay." After hearing my reason, Christina also felt that it made sense.

After unifying our opinions, we began to move towards the core area of ​​the leveling area, which is usually where the boss stays. As long as we lead those guys who followed us over there who somehow knew our news, I believe they won't be able to pose any threat to us anymore. After all, bosses are territorial. Ordinary people will definitely be attacked if they go in.

Like I said, bosses are all territorial. So, when we entered the core area of ​​this forest. We were immediately targeted by the boss here.

"Attention, direction of eleven o'clock." Kristina suddenly reminded us to pay attention. Although she had sensed a lot of monsters before, because there were several protoss here using their own divine power, most of the monsters automatically avoided it after feeling the aura. Therefore, even in the advanced monster area, we did not encounter any obstruction at all. However, this time is different. Although it has obviously entered the divine power area, the creature did not stop. Instead, it rushed over as if it had found the target, so Kristina reminded us.

"Do you know what kind of monster it is?" Although Kristina's induction technique will not display the specific data of the monster, it is like infrared induction. It can know the approximate size of the target and feel the opponent's movement speed. Of course I think the most important thing is to be able to sense the energy intensity of the other party. Whether the creatures in the game are magic or physical, their combat effectiveness usually has a certain relationship with their own energy intensity. Although those with high energy intensity may not necessarily be very powerful, those with low energy intensity will definitely be rubbish.

Kristina carefully sensed it for a while and then began to say: "The other party's energy intensity is very high, its size is larger than a human, and its speed is moderate. It should be a very powerful creature."

"Is it humanoid?"

"No, it should be in the shape of a beast." After saying this, Kristina suddenly frowned again, and then continued: "No, there is more than one target. Behind us, more than ten targets appeared at six o'clock. Damn it, we are surrounded. Got it!"

Hearing Kristina's words, Aphrodite asked doubtfully: "Aren't those coming up from behind the pursuers?"

"No. The information in the sensor shows that it is a monster. It is not small in size and very fast. They are tightening the encirclement."

"I just said that high-level bosses are not so easy to deal with." I said to Radamantis and Pandora: "We are not suitable to fight these guys now. Can you two use concealment spells?"

Many auxiliary spells have no other departments. For example, covering spells are available in many departments. However, generally speaking, the dark system is better at concealment, but I am not sure whether Radamantis and Pandora can do it. After all, there is still a big difference between the Hades gods of the Olympus Protoss and the general dark system. difference.

"My concealment skills are okay. Do you need to hide us now?" Pandora asked.

"No. You just need to modify the breath a little."

"Revise?" Pandora obviously didn't quite understand what I meant.

I smiled and pointed at myself and said, "Erase my breath, and then you attract attention while I sneak attack the boss."

Pandora thought for a while and said: "This is also a way. "

We are not afraid of these boss-level creatures, but because there are soldiers chasing us from behind and we cannot be discovered, so we try not to have a fight. If we have a contact battle with the opponent, even if our side is super strong, the opponent is not an ordinary character after all. Even if we can kill with one hit, it is difficult to guarantee that the opponent will not take action before being killed. In order to hide our whereabouts, we naturally won't use magic with large sound or magic power fluctuations, but the other party won't pay attention to this. Therefore, once we fight, exposure is almost inevitable. However, if I use my strength to make another sneak attack. It's not difficult to control a high-level boss first.

As a boss, you naturally have a certain level of intelligence, because bosses usually have subordinates. Brainless creatures cannot be leaders. certainly. For most players, even if they have brains, the boss will not communicate with you. If you want to communicate with the boss, you need to meet at least a few conditions. The most important first condition is that you and the boss are equal in strength, or higher than the other. Only equality can lead to dialogue, and bosses will not pay attention to ants.

Although the number of people on our side is not large. But his strength is much stronger than those bosses, that's for sure. As long as we want to talk, the bosses will usually talk to us. Regardless of whether we can reach an agreement in the end, at least they will respond to us instead of completely ignoring us. And as long as I can take down one of the bosses preemptively, then we will have a bargaining chip. I believe that in this case, negotiations will become much simpler.

After planning, we did not waste time, but started quickly. First, I asked Pandora to add the concealment spell to me, and then asked Kristina to help me apply the camouflage spell. Finally, I activated my invisibility ability and ran up to the crossbar of a nearby big tree, where I crouched in ambush quietly. got up.

Kristina said before that she sensed animal-shaped creatures, and in the forest, animal-shaped creatures are very fast. I had just set up an ambush here, and the monster over there had already appeared in our sights.

The number of bosses surrounding us was not large, there were six in total, which was just about the same number as us. This time the guys don't seem to be of the same race. Except for two of them that look very similar, the others all belong to different races, but they are basically animal-like creatures with fur, and only one looks a bit like a reptile.

Although only six creatures entered our field of vision, through the ghost bugs spreading out, I have discovered many more creatures hiding nearby and out of sight. These six should be self-improving bosses, and the hundreds of targets on the periphery are their younger brothers.

"Intruders, tell us your purpose." After successfully surrounding us, the largest creature among the six creatures suddenly spoke. Although this reaction is a bit unexpected, it is also reasonable. The intelligence of the bosses is not low, and the group of people here are obviously not easy to deal with. It is obviously a very unwise decision to rush up hastily, so it is a normal reaction for them to take the initiative to communicate with us.

"We have no intention of invading your territory. We only entered here to avoid the pursuers from behind." The one who answered was Pandora. Originally, the most powerful person here should be Peacock, but although Peacock is a woman, she is actually quite reckless. , it’s okay to be a thug, but for diplomatic negotiations... Unless you want to start a war, it’s better not to go to her.

"Pursuing soldiers? Just those rubbish?" The boss who spoke angrily roared: "You have to find a decent reason for lying, right?"

It is actually quite understandable if the other party thinks we are lying. The strength on our side was so frightening that even the bosses had to come out to negotiate with us in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts. However, we ended up saying that we were being chased in by pursuers. If they don't know who the pursuers we are talking about are, then that's it. The key problem is that this is their territory. Even our awesome guys have been discovered. How could the pursuers with two swords behind us not be discovered? It is precisely because the other party has seen the strength of the group of pursuers behind them that they sneer at our words. A group of people who looked more like bosses than they actually said they entered here to avoid a bunch of fighting scum. No one with a brain would believe this.

"Whether you believe it or not. For some reason, we can't be seen by those people, even if we hide in the dark, so we are forced to hide here. It's not that we can't defeat them, but that we can't be Discover."

Pandora's explanation is of course reasonable. If it were an ordinary person, the other party might not believe it. But the problem is that the bosses really don't want to offend us. So in the end, I thought about it a little and believed us.

"If we help you kill all those pursuers...will you leave here?" the boss asked tentatively.

Pandora nodded immediately and said, "Of course, we would be very grateful if this is possible."

The boss nodded, then suddenly looked up at me and said, "Can that friend in the tree come down too?"

The other party's reaction made me stunned for a moment, and then I suddenly understood and jumped down from the tree. "I'm sorry, but we don't feel at ease either. We're afraid that you might rashly expose our whereabouts, so..."

The boss shook his head and said nothing. Then he turned around and told the monsters hiding nearby: "Give me my order. Go and kill all the intruders behind."

There was no response, but there was a noise in the surrounding dense forest, and many things could be heard moving.

Because the other party has agreed to help, the atmosphere on our side has relaxed a little. Aphrodite asked the boss over there with some curiosity: "Zi Ri has been given a shielding technique to hide the magic fluctuations and aura on his body, and there is also a layer of camouflage and invisibility skills. How did you discover him? ?”

The boss didn't answer, but pointed to his nose. Aphrodite is no fool either. It became clear almost immediately why.

The concealing technique is said to be able to cover the breath, but the breath does not refer to the smell. It's its own energy fluctuations, which are completely different from smell. If it is a humanoid creature. With such a disguise, you can usually get away with it, but the problem is that the bosses here are all animal-shaped creatures. Although most of the creatures in the game are fictional, most of their characteristics are based on real-life templates. For example, humanoid creatures usually have relatively high intelligence, while animaloid creatures generally have very good physical abilities. Although this sense of smell has nothing to do with physical fitness, it is also one of the retained abilities of beast-shaped creatures. It can be said that most beast-shaped creatures have very good noses. As a big living person like me squatting there, it is inevitable that the smell will spread. The other person's nose is sharper than that of a dog. If he still can't smell it, then he must be pretending.

With the help of this group of bosses, the chasing soldiers outside were killed in almost five minutes. Even the few people waiting on the road outside did not run away. They were instantly killed by the monster that suddenly crossed the border and ran out. . This place was originally a high-level monster area, which was not something ordinary players could deal with. These people had never thought of having to deal with these monsters before, so they were caught in a pot without any defense.

After seeing the bodies of those people, we didn't stay here any longer. After expressing our gratitude to the bosses, we left here. Of course, the other party was relieved that we could leave. Even if they spoke harshly, they could fight to the death or something, but the problem is, if we can live in peace, who is willing to fight to the death?

Because the convoy sent by Masamoto Matsumoto was attacked, we can no longer rely on the convoy to cover our journey back. We still don’t know how the information was leaked, and of course we don’t rule out the possibility that it was just an accident, but no matter what, we can’t gamble on luck. Masamoto Matsumoto's undercover work in Japan is really important. The energy and financial resources we have invested in this are unimaginable. Seeing that we have now begun to receive a large number of results, it would be a shame if this was exposed.

"What are you going to do now?" Masamoto Matsumoto asked us on the communicator. We got in touch with him as soon as we came out to discuss what to do next.

I replied in the communication: "Your people should stop contacting us, so as not to expose the relationship between us. We have completed the mission now. Even if we are discovered by Yamata no Orochi or people from the Takamagahara Protoss, it is not a big deal." . On the contrary, you need to deal with it carefully."

Masamoto Matsumoto nodded and said: "Okay, I will take care of the team's affairs and reduce the impact as much as possible."

"No, don't cover up this matter. Instead, publicize it widely and make it known to everyone in the city."

"Ah? Why?" Masamoto Matsumoto obviously didn't understand why I asked him to publicize this matter.

"Do not understand?"

"Well, indeed." Masamoto Matsumoto admitted without hesitation: "I really don't understand. Ordinarily, the image of this kind of thing should be eliminated as much as possible to prevent the other party from discovering our relationship. But you let us publicize it like this ...?"

"You don't understand this." I didn't explain, but asked: "Do you know who did this?"

"I'm not sure for the moment, but I think there's only one person who would do this."

Although Masamoto Matsumoto didn't say anything, I knew he must be talking about Nobunaga Ghost Hands, and I was 80% sure it was him. The leadership of Japan now belongs to either Masamoto Matsumoto or Nobunaga. Yamata no Orochi and the Takamagahara Protoss are all NPCs after all. The game is played by players, not NPCs. Players, that is, people in reality, are the leaders, and NPCs are always only auxiliary. Don't look at the fact that Yamata no Orochi seems to be making all the changes in Japan now, but that is only for a while. After that, it still depends on the two major player leaders, Matsumoto Masaga and Onishou Nobunaga. rq
