Chapter 172 Dougli, the King of Puppetry!
At the mission station, Xu Mu accepted three bounties for defeating bosses in one go.
They are the 150th floor of the Castle in the Sky [Dougli, the King of Dolls], the 300th floor [The Expeller of the Sky], and the 500th floor [Seghart, the Lord of the City of Light]
These bosses have the normal drop rate in addition to killing them.
The first person to kill them will also earn you adventure group experience and a reward for your fatigue limit.
"However, the first kill reward for the Puppet King Dougli seems to have disappeared." Xu Mu took a close look at the records on the crusade post.
This BOSS has been attacked 5 times so far.
Although there was no way to see the detailed record of who made the first kill, Xu Mu had a guess.
It was either the drunkard who was currently ranked first and had soared to level 27, or several of the top ten players who had joined forces to encircle and suppress the enemy.
However, [Sky Destroyer] in the Dark Corridor area on the 300th floor and [Seghart] in the City Lord's Palace on the 500th floor have not yet been killed for the first time.
After defeating both of them, the adventure group can be directly upgraded to level 5.
You can accept 4 BOSS subjugation missions every day and gain an additional 25 points of four-dimensional attribute blessing.
It is a key link in catching up with the progress of top players.
Moreover, together they can bring Xu Mu another +10 increase in fatigue value limit.
It is extremely precious and there is no reason not to brush it.
After leaving the mission station, Xu Mu opened his alchemy panel again.
All the medicine I had just used up in the difficult challenge abyss.
Have to refine another batch.
Moreover, after the health reaches tens of thousands, the intermediate HP of instantly raising 2000 health can no longer meet one's needs.
The materials accumulated by killing monsters along the way in the Sky City.
Throw them all into the alchemy pot.
Choose to refine higher HP/MP
Currently, the alchemist level is only 3, and the upper limit is only to refine high-level potions.
The effect is that it can instantly raise 5000 health or 2000 mana points at a time.
But there were occasional critical hits.
When Xu Mu throws some purple materials dropped by elite monsters into it, there is a chance that [Special Advanced Potion] will be directly extracted.
Restores 8000 health and 2500 mana at a time.
It will also add an additional +10% third-speed buff, which lasts for 60 seconds.
Empty the backpack of materials in one go.
In the end, 247 superior potions were made, as well as an additional 75 special superior potions.
The alchemy level was also successfully upgraded to level 4.
"Next, we only need to reach level 30 to unlock the level 4 alchemy blueprint and make master-level potions."
After pondering to himself, Xu Mu opened the auction house and took a look at the current mainstream medicine transactions.
The most traded potion on the market, originally the entry-level potion, is gradually being replaced by lower-level potions.
The price is 50 gold per piece.
This price is not expensive, considering that the average player level has reached level 15.
You can easily get around 50 gold coins by killing monsters in one round.
If you operate well or form a team, you won't lose any blood in a round of monsters. A bottle of lower-level potion with +500 blood can sustain five to eight waves of monsters.
The second is the intermediate potion, which has been unilaterally eliminated by Xu Mu.
It is a hot commodity in the auction market.
One copy costs 200 gold, which is quite expensive.
Ordinary players may have to use a whole tube of fatigue to collect 200 gold, which is not something that everyone can afford.
But in Xu Mu's eyes, it has no value anymore.
Finally, superior potions are occasionally sold, but not in large quantities.
The price of a copy fluctuates around 500 gold, and the last transaction record was five minutes ago.
It is far less than the transaction volume of lower-level potions, where dozens of people trade each second.
I also searched for special medicines.
I found out that it wasn't available at the auction house at all.
After thinking about it, Xu Mu took out 50 special medicines, marked them at 2,000 gold each and put them on the auction house.
Just keep 25 for your own use, and with more than 200 regular high-level potions, killing monsters will not be a problem.
But what Xu Mu didn't expect was.
The potion was sold out in an instant as soon as it was put on the shelves.
One hundred thousand gold coins went directly into his backpack gold coin account.
This couldn't help but make Xu Mu sigh slightly.
Once you master the top-level technological productivity, you can make money quickly.
Not to mention that many players don’t have a secondary job right now.
Even if there is, some people may not necessarily choose to be an alchemist.
Secondly, even if you become an alchemist.
A large amount of material refining is required to upgrade the level.
Most players simply don't have that much materials to upgrade their secondary professions.
And if you want to make special potions, you need more expensive purple materials.
These materials themselves come from elite monsters and BOSSes, and the drop rate is extremely rare, which further limits the output of players.
Xu Mu has a tenfold explosion rate, so these are naturally not a problem.
Finally, he took a look at the Abyss Challenge Book that he had put up for auction.
The price of 50,000 gold per copy has not attracted any buyers so far.
But Xu Mu was not in a hurry.
Just leave it on hold for now, and wait for a day or two at most, then it will slowly start to gain market share.
After finishing everything.
Xu Mu held up the +12 Rift that he had just acquired.
Returned to the sky city and started climbing like crazy.
The 150 points of fatigue recovered after reaching level 21 would make it difficult to level up if a normal player were to use the safe monster-killing method of jumping 1 to 3 levels.
The experience that can be provided is only about 70% to 80% at most.
In order to keep myself moving forever.
Xu Mu took Celia and rushed to the 100th floor in one breath.
[You have entered the 'Doll Entrance' area! ]
[Warning! The monster level in this area is more than 10 levels higher than yours! Please evacuate quickly! ]
The copy reminder sound also gave a conscientious reminder.
But Xu Mu was fighting monsters that were 10 levels higher!
Under the restriction of ten times the difficulty of gaining experience, it is impossible to remain in perpetual motion without surpassing so many levels .
Looking around, above the 100th floor, the surrounding monsters have changed drastically.
Not so much a monster.
It would be more accurate to say that they are petrified statues of warriors.
Sharpshooter, Ghost Swordsman, Fighter, Magician, etc.
"The atmosphere here is quite weird... Are these warrior statues man-made? Why do the monsters here like to carve statues of adventurers?" Celia stepped forward puzzled, carefully examining the lifelike life-size sculptures around her.
"Is there a possibility?" Xu Mu slowly pulled out the crack and raised his eyebrows again: "Are these not statues?"
"Ah?" Celia was stunned.
“Crack!”
It was as if some mechanism had been triggered.
The statues of these adventurers began to tremble slightly, and the stones on their bodies fell down.
There was a scarlet light reflected in their eyes, and they each held their weapons and began to approach Celia.
"Ah! Why are they moving!" Celia's face turned pale with fright.
And in the next moment.
A sword blade sharp enough to bend the air burst out from the crack.
Wherever the sword energy passed, it easily broke through the hard shells of these statues.
And it swept away a large number of damage numbers.
30147!
31836!
35178!
…
The monsters let out wailing screams and fell to the ground.
It immediately turned into balls of white light and poured into Xu Mu's body.
Flash sale!
With a damage of over 30,000, even Xu Mu couldn't help but take a second look at the Rift in his hand, smacking his lips repeatedly.
"My goodness, this damage is incredible."
Even level 30 monsters can be killed instantly!
Moreover, the generous experience value rewards also made Xu Mu extremely moved!
Each monster can increase your experience by 10%!
" If I hadn't chosen the Infernal Mode, I'm afraid that one monster would be enough for me to jump from level 21 to level 22. Tsk."
"But then again, if there wasn't the Purgatory Mode, I wouldn't be able to reach such a high level alone."
Whether it's ten times the explosion rate, ten times the gold coin drop, or giving yourself a +25C buff, these cannot be achieved under normal mode.
Without these, Xu Mu would not be able to accumulate equipment quickly.
After killing seven or eight monsters in one breath, he cleaned up the battlefield.
A level 30 monster can already drop around 50 gold coins.
After picking it up, it will directly turn into 500 pieces.
This easy search quickly increased Xu Mu's wealth by 3,000 gold.
"Why were these adventurers petrified? The atmosphere here is too weird. Adventurers, let's go investigate nearby." Celia said.
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant."
Xu Mu originally came here to fight the BOSS.
After accepting the reward for defeating the enemy on the 100th floor, the boss [Dougli, the King of Dolls] will appear.
It is not difficult to defeat a level 30 BOSS.
Just be careful of the abnormal buff on it.
He walked around with the sword in hand.
Soon, Xu Mu found Dougli lurking at the rear wall connected by several stone pillars.
This is a strange-looking puppet that can float in the air, and there are several silk threads on its head that control it, the source of which cannot be traced.
[Dougli, the King of Dolls (Lord)]
[Level: 30]
[Attack: 1000]
[HP: 500,000]
[Skill 1: Mind Control. After activating the skill, the enemies within the range will be confused and attack in the wrong direction.]
[Skill 2: Puppet Theater. After activation, it summons ten elite out-of-control adventurers. Each elite monster inherits 100% of Dougli's attack and 10% of his health.]
[Introduction: The original creature of the Sky City, it became extremely violent after the great magic circle mutated, and controlled almost all the adventurers who visited this place for its own use, and completely obeyed the Lord of the City of Light, Seghart.]
…
With an attack value of up to 1,000 points, even a single normal attack can make many players who currently have only two or three thousand HP suffer terribly.
What's more, there are powerful debuff methods.
The most disgusting thing is its ability to summon elite monsters.
This is a desperate BOSS for most players.
But for Xu Mu, who already possesses the magical weapon Liechuan.
It's not worth mentioning anymore.
As usual, after several attempts, the limit of the BOSS's action area was found.
Xu Mu quickly stepped forward with his sword in hand, and before the boss could attack, he raised his hand.
A set of regular combos, combined with the blood-reducing properties of the rift.
In just a dozen seconds, Dougli's health limit was reduced by 5%.
Then use Wave Burst + Evil Light Slash, and then use Three-Stage Slash to quickly distance yourself and retreat.
Cut the sword soul in seconds.
After reaching level 20, you can learn a new colorless skill, Breaking the Army and Rising Dragon Strike!
The effect is to sprint forward for a certain distance and then force the enemy to float into the air.
The floating height is higher than the conventional upward lift.
He activated his thoughts, released the Po Jun move, and rushed in front of Dougli, then followed it up with a sword slash after a set of Li Gui moves.
After reducing his health by another 5%, Xu Mu retreated again to get out of range.
After repeating this for several rounds, Dougli's health was easily reduced to below 50% by Xu Mu.
At this time, less than 5 minutes had passed.
Soon, Dougli, whose health dropped to 50%, began to use his ultimate move.
Summons elite monsters.
After a flash of white light, ten elite monsters with strong aura appeared in front of Xu Mu and surrounded Dougli.
Obviously, it is impossible to defeat Dougli without killing them.
This is also the most disgusting thing about Doug.
The Dougli mechanism itself is not difficult.
But it already has a health bar of 500,000.
After the health bar is reduced to half, you can pull out 10 more elite monsters, with a total of 500,000 health bars.
This is equivalent to the player having to lose one million HP before killing the BOSS.
At this stage, players only have about one or two hundred points of attack power.
It would take tens of thousands of cuts.
It's really torture.
And these tens of thousands of dollars cannot afford any major mistakes.
If you are struggling to kill 90% of the enemy, but suddenly make a mistake and get killed instantly.
The player might lose his mind and die right on the spot.
Of course, for Xu Mu who already has a rift.
These are all minor issues.
Although these elite monsters have high attack power and strong defense, their movements are extremely slow.
The kites can be broken one by one in a short while.
What made Xu Mu even happier was.
These summoned elite monsters are also level 30.
But the experience given far exceeded Xu Mu's expectations!
Each monster can increase the current experience bar by 20%.
Just killed two.
Xu Mu jumped directly to level 22.
Fatigue value is instantly restored!
After reaching level 22, the experience points gained decreased slightly.
But after killing the remaining eight one by one in one breath.
Xu Mu's level has jumped to 41% of level 23!
Look at the current rankings.
I was just in the abyss and was left far behind by more than 10,000 people.
After this round of rapid upgrade, it has reached the top 233.
"After I kill this boss, I can directly reach level 25 and enter the top 100."
Soon, Xu Mu had a bold idea.
If an elite monster could give so much experience.
or……
Trick the BOSS into summoning more times?
But it's a pity.
This idea is unrealistic.
These elite monsters can only provide experience once, and will not give it again no matter how you kill them subsequently.
The last bit of interest disappeared from Xu Mu's eyes.
After quickly swinging the sword to chop down the BOSS.
Swish!
Swish!
Two consecutive beams of white light shot up into the sky!
The level soared to level 25 08%
The ranking was as Xu Mu expected, and it directly entered the 83rd place in the 141st main city area of Hedonmar.
[Congratulations on your successful entry into the top 100! You can receive: Anti-fatigue secret medicine (5 points)*1 at the settlement on the same day! ]
Xu Mu glanced at the time.
From the opening of the copy to now.
12 hours have passed without me noticing.
When everyone first entered the dungeon, it was around eight or nine in the morning.
"That means there are less than three hours left until the early morning settlement."
"In three hours, can we catch up with the first place?" Xu Mu took a look at the current rankings.
The number one is still the wine boy.
Has reached 79% of the experience bar at level 28.
This guy's upgrading speed is not slow either.
It is estimated that some hidden tasks have been triggered.
But I will soon finish the main storyline of the Sky City in my hands.
As long as you reach the top of the Sky City and kill the Lord of the City of Light, Sieghart, you can bring back the cause of the loosening of the Sky City's magic circle and get rich main line experience rewards!
After cleaning up the battlefield.
A total of 10,000 gold coins and more than ten pieces of purple materials were obtained.
A bunch of blue and white.
It is worth mentioning that Doug revealed two attractive suits.
Dougli's Control Set made of a belt and shoes
The effect of the set is that when attacking, there is a 3% chance of summoning a puppet with the same attack power as Dougli and 10% of his health to assist in combat.
And the maximum number of puppets that can be triggered for this set of effects is 10.
Although Xu Mu is not short of these attacks.
In the following monster-killing process, it can help you pull monsters and attract hatred.
The summoner holding a sword belongs to.
It also provides decent health and defense boosts.
Change them together.
The health point has exceeded 11,000, and the defense has also exceeded 1,000 points for the first time!
Became a little bit stronger again!
"The next goal is to reach the summit of Huttonmar within three hours!" Xu Mu gripped the sword tightly in his hand, looked at the upper entrance that had been opened, and said with burning eyes.
