Chapter 166 Joint Barrier
The mission is almost done here. The previous levels were actually very difficult. If Kristina and I weren't both exaggerated types, we wouldn't have expected to complete these tasks if we just got into it. For example, the lava pit at the back, the Harpy Canyon, and the spider cave are all extremely troublesome tasks. They test the player's overall quality rather than pure combat effectiveness. In many of these places, even a player with extremely high combat effectiveness like the Gunslinger can You will definitely not be able to get through it.
Because we have encountered so many troublesome things before, we all thought that the last level should be easy, and there is indeed nothing on the mission scroll that will hinder our progress. But now I understand. There are indeed no obstacles marked on the scrolls, because the system does not set obstacles for us at all. The real obstacles all come from other players.
When we saw the group of players here, we were a little dull, and the players on the opposite side were also stunned when they saw us. However, those players obviously knew that this thing was our mission target, because they reacted much faster than us. After being stunned for a moment, they immediately turned around and ran back and tried to close the door to prevent us from entering.
We couldn't react if the opponent didn't move, but we didn't react when they ran away.
Ashford shouted anxiously: "Don't let them run away!"
I pointed at the closing door and shouted, "Mira. Door!"
With a dragon roar, Mira lowered her head, aimed at the door, and ran directly into it. There was only a loud bang, and the door that was about to be closed was knocked open. The four players who were standing behind the door and trying to close the door flew out as if they were hit by a high-speed train. After crossing the entire hall, they fell directly against the opposite wall before landing. If it weren't for the wall behind them, they would have flown further.
After knocking open the door, we entered the hall. According to the information Ashford said before, this place should be an underground palace, but in fact the interior is far from as big as imagined. It is just a hall with a circle of other buildings. The total area may be several thousand square meters, but it needs to be To say this is a palace is a bit too small.
The group of players on the opposite side did not panic when they saw us rushing in, but responded quickly. The group was automatically divided into two parts. Most of them ran to the middle of the hall to form a line of defense, while the remaining dozen people gathered in a circle behind the group. There was a mage player. Magic circles are drawn on the ground with crystal dust.
Games are not reality. In order to allow players to play happily, the magician's abilities are actually digitalized. The magician uses magic just like using a machine. The difference is that the machine presses a button to activate a certain function, while the mage uses magic to activate a certain function. Say a spell or imagine a magic spell to activate it. Drawing a magic circle on the ground like this busy mage would never happen under normal circumstances, because if the mage's magic needs to be so troublesome, then it is probably useless to use the mage again. If you encounter a warrior or something, you The magic circle was lost even before it was drawn, so how could this mage survive?
Although there is generally no need to draw magic circles, the game does have magic circle drawing technology, but this thing is generally used to produce magic equipment, and a mage is required to draw magic circles on the ground. There are only two possibilities. One is that the other party is making magic traps, and the other is that they are preparing some large or very powerful spells.
This magic circle wasn't completed yet, and I didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but I knew I couldn't let them complete it, so I directed Mira to rush forward without hesitation.
In terms of Mira's defense and strength, if she is willing to withstand a certain amount of damage, theoretically she can easily break through the defense line composed of any transformed creature. After all, despite Mira's size, this guy weighs dozens of tons. Once it starts running, its impact will not be much worse than that of a locomotive. No matter how tenacious the defense line composed of transformed creatures is, Mira's charge is absolutely unstoppable. After all, this is no longer a matter of skills and tactics. This is called one force defeating ten. There is no equal weight. You It can't stop such a huge kinetic energy impact at all.
Although in theory, as I thought, Mira rushed past and successfully destroyed the magic circle behind, the actual situation turned out to be something other than theoretical. The moment Mira hit the defense line, a row of at least a hundred people in the opponent's group suddenly took a step forward, and then I saw a yellow light curtain suddenly flashed in front of the group. , followed by Mira, she ran into this light curtain.
There was a loud noise like a metal collision. Mira bounced back like a rhinoceros that hit the locomotive. After falling to the ground, she didn't get up for a long time. It was obvious that the impact was not light, and the light curtain on the opposite side was At the moment of being hit, circles of water ripples rippled out from the center of the collision point. Moreover, the soldiers standing behind the light curtain also took a step back, and some of them actually had blood stains under their nostrils. .
This collision can only be said to have hurt both parties. Mira knocked herself unconscious, and Iru on the opposite side was obviously injured. However, although the impact alone was a lose-lose situation, in terms of the opponent's defense effect, we still failed because we failed to break through the defense line, and the magician behind the opponent had already completed one-third of the magic circle. The guy moves very quickly and can complete the magic circle on the ground in one go without even thinking. Obviously his skill level is not very low.
"Kristina." Seeing Mira being bounced back, I called out to Kristina, but Kristina had already started the magic bombing at the same time I shouted out. She pointed the staff forward in her hand, and countless densely packed magic bullets hit the magic barrier like raindrops from a thunderstorm. However, after the bombing that lasted for nearly ten seconds ended, all but the underground palace was shaken. Apart from a layer of soil falling down, the defense line on the opposite side remained motionless.
Looking at the opponent's condition, it seemed that there was no nosebleed like the previous impact from Mira. I immediately realized the reason and quickly woke up Kristina: "No, the opponent can share the damage evenly, so we must attack one in one go. Point, it’s useless to separate!”
"Give me five seconds!" After saying this, Kristina suddenly began to transform into elements. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a shape-changing crystal butterfly surrounded by colorful light. This is her super form, which has great impact on the power of spells. Significant bonus. After completing the form transformation, Kristina immediately began to recite the spell, but it didn't take long. Two seconds later, she suddenly pointed her staff forward again. Different from the previous shocking rainstorm of magic bullets, this time only one colorful shuttle-shaped light bullet shot out, instantly hit the light curtain, and passed through with almost no delay. , but the seven-colored light shuttle was obviously smaller after passing through the light curtain, changing from a light shuttle to a light cone.
Although it is much smaller, the power of the light cone is still considerable. The light cone continued forward after passing through the light curtain, and instantly penetrated the shield of a soldier directly in front and shot into the guy's chest. As if he had been hit by an anti-tank rifle, a big hole burst out of the soldier's chest, and his entire body was blown into two pieces. However, the light cone did not stop there, but continued forward again and again. It was equipped with the shield of a soldier in the second row, and then there was an explosion and the soldier was completely thrown away.
The other warriors around looked at this place in surprise when their companions were knocked away. Then they were stunned for a second after seeing the result of one dead and one injured. However, they quickly reacted and quickly moved closer to make up for this. There was a gap, but the light curtain in front still stood there and did not disappear.
"No, the damage is not enough!" Ashford shouted loudly when he saw that only two people had fallen.
Kristina also saw the result, so she didn't move and still chanted the spell. Almost at the same time that Ashford's words fell, Kristina's staff intermittently fired another colorful light bomb. Just like the previous time, the light bullet penetrated the light curtain in the blink of an eye, and then killed two people again. This light screen is a surface defense, and Kristina's attack is a point breakthrough, so the light screen cannot resist magic attacks that are too concentrated.
There was no need to wake up after the second attack was completed. Kristina's follow-up attacks did not stop at all. She just kept firing flares at a rate of one every two seconds, and at least one of them could fall in every time. Occasionally, she could fire one. It took three penetrations, but compared to the speed of the magic circle deployed by the mage behind, this speed was still too slow.
The opponent came too many people this time. There were more than a hundred warriors forming the defense line and setting up this light curtain. There were about seventy or eighty other professionals behind them. Finally, they surrounded the mage and a man holding a man. There are more than a dozen people around the player who were rewarded by Xiu Fude's mission, which means that the other party has a team of more than 200 people. The mage draws the magic circle very quickly. Even if Kristina goes at the average speed of two entries in two seconds, it will take at least a minute to break through this line of defense. However, the magic circle can be completed in only thirty seconds at most. Now Several seconds have passed.
Now everyone here is aware of this situation, the other party is aware of it, and we are also aware of it, but Ashford is almost going crazy with anxiety. No matter what the other party is doing, as long as the magic circle is completed, Ashford can say goodbye to his mission reward, so he is almost going crazy with anxiety now, but he still doesn't have the ability. That light curtain didn't even penetrate Mira, let alone him.
"Ziri, help me!" The anxious Ashford turned to look at me for help, but as soon as he turned around, he realized that I was no longer on his side. I hurriedly looked back, only to see that I was running, and in my right hand I was holding a spear high above my head. This posture clearly meant throwing a javelin.
Just when Ashford guessed my intention, I ran past him like the wind, and then when I was about to reach the barrier, I threw the spear that was transformed into eternity in my hand with great force.
Hey... It's completely different from the situation when Kristina's magic bullet passed through the barrier. After my eternity came into contact with the barrier, it was like a welding rod touching the metal surface. There was a harsh noise like scratching glass, but although the sparks flying at the contact point were harsh and harsh, the eternal forward speed was not affected at all. It passed the barrier in less than 0.1 second, and then hit the first A personal shield. As if it had pierced a layer of window paper, Eternity passed through the shield without any sluggishness, and then passed through the body of the shield-holding player behind again, and passed through his back and continued to advance forward, after grazing the second The player's side shot through the thigh of an archer, and then passed through the entire defense line, facing the mage who was drawing a magic circle.
This whole process takes less than one second, but if you use slow motion, you will find that Ashford's expression is gradually changing from shock to joy as the eternity progresses.
It's a shame, though. A soldier next to the mage pushed the mage out at the last moment and slashed the eternal gun barrel with his sword, trying to knock it down.
The mage saved his life due to this push, but the soldier's weapon was broken at the moment of eternal impact. Eternity is not an ordinary weapon, even if it is a divine weapon, most of the time it can't stop it. This guy's own weapon is basically the same as hitting a steel plate with a wooden stick. It's strange that he keeps hitting it.
Although his weapon was broken, the power of this attack was still transmitted to eternity. After being attacked, Eternity suddenly sank down, and the spear head pierced directly into the ground.
When Ashford saw this result, the expression on his face began to change from joy to frustration, and the people on the opposite side all showed excited expressions. However, before everyone's expressions changed completely, they saw the penetration. The eternity of the ground suddenly radiated a dozen winding arcs from the center of the point where the ground was lifted.
The sight of high-voltage arcs twisting around in the air is very beautiful, but even more terrifying. Several soldiers around him were hit by the arc without any reaction at all and were blown away. The crystal dust on the ground also flew up due to the electrostatic effect produced by the arc. The magic circle that was about to be completed was immediately destroyed. .
This result made everyone around him stunned, while Ashford shouted excitedly: "Ziri, you are indeed the best! You are so awesome!"
"Don't be too happy, my eternity has been thrown away, and the mage is not dead yet!"
Ashford was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered and said to Kristina quickly: "Kristina, it's all up to you, break through this defensive wall before they complete the magic circle!"
"I'm at Qian!" Kristina said and started the light bullet attack that fired every two seconds. At least one or two Qian could be dropped each time, and although the opponent had a lot of members, But if we keep fighting like this, they will all be killed sooner or later. Besides, there must be a minimum number of people to maintain this light curtain, which means that it is not necessarily necessary to kill all the people. As long as the number of people is not enough, the light curtain will naturally break, and as the number of people entering decreases, even if the light curtain does not disappear, , its defense will definitely decrease. After all, with less support, the light curtain cannot change at all.
