Chapter 173: Steal meat from NPC!
"The Dark Corridor is located on the 300th floor of the Sky City, close to the middle of the entire tower."
"There are some petrified soldiers sealed here that are even more terrifying than the junior adventurers controlled by the puppet's entrance."
"It is reported that these soldiers originally belonged to the Perrus Empire. Around the 100th year of the Arad calendar, the Perrus Empire sent troops several times to investigate this tower city that connects to the heavens."
"This act of crossing the line aroused the anger of the former Ninth Apostle Bakar. As the ruler of the heavens at the time, Bakar sent out Seghart to guard the top of the Sky City and ordered all Arad humans to ban investigations into the Sky City..."
“Bang!”
The book was closed, Celia looked up at Xu Mu who had already run some distance, then quickly caught up with him, lifting her skirt.
"Adventurer, wait for me."
"You are so meticulous in the process of adventuring. I feel that you are more like an adventurer." Xu Mu replied with a faint smile, while keeping walking.
Time is money, he has to reach the top of the Sky City within three hours and complete the entire Sky City main storyline.
Although the value of the 5 points of fatigue medicine given to the top 100 is not too high.
But the first place winner can get a bottle of secret medicine worth 50 points.
The gap will be widened in an instant.
“Hu…Hu…” Although as an elf girl, Celia possesses a magical power that is unknown even to herself.
But she could vaguely feel that this power was blocked.
The source of the blockade was her forgotten memories of the past.
Therefore, Celia's physical fitness is not that strong, and she can only barely catch up with Xu Mu, who is level 25.
While following Xu Mu to climb the floors, she couldn't help but gasp and asked curiously.
"I have heard of the reputation of the Apostles a long time ago. It is said that they are a group of extremely powerful beings who even control the power to destroy planets, and their bodies are almost indestructible."
"But why did the Exploding Dragon King Bakar perish in the great war in the heavens hundreds of years ago, as recorded in this Arad Unofficial History?"
"Besides, why would an apostle be so afraid of the humans in Arad's lower world? If what the adventurer told me before is true, the Perrus Empire seems to have dealt with Ozma and Kazan at that time, right? The strongest left and right arms of the human empire have been cut off, and it is even more impossible to shake the power of the apostles."
Celia is indeed like a piece of pure unpolished jade that has just been born. She is full of curiosity about everything in the world and keeps asking why.
"I see that you don't understand at all." After a pause, Xu Mu didn't continue.
Of course he knew why.
There was a certain element of fate in Bakar's death, and the trigger for this was more or less related to Celia.
After all, as the owner of the strongest power of the Primordial Light, Celia is the true ultimate king of apostles, the one who knows everything!
However, her current powers were completely sealed by Mal, and she had no memory of her past.
Nature cannot know those obscure things.
However, Xu Mu could tell Celia about the reason why Bakar wanted to block the Sky City.
Take advantage of the convenience brought by the strategy, and then use the identity of a 'scholar' to show off in front of Celia and attract her favor. Then she will assign you tasks. Isn't that wonderful?
"What Bakar is afraid of is not the people of Arad. To be honest, it is true that Ozma and Kazan were very powerful back then, but human power has its limits." Xu Mu looked up at the floor they had arrived at, the 277th floor.
Keep going up!
Don't waste time on the monsters.
"Even if there was no unrest in the Perrus Empire, the combined power of Ozma and Kazan would not be able to defeat Bakar."
"Ah? That... this is even more inappropriate." Celia blinked her long eyelashes slightly, and the curiosity in her eyes became even stronger.
The delicate and exquisite cheeks coupled with an "I'm very curious" look really make Xu Mu, who knows the plot, feel a bit like the superiority of the "Riddler".
The case has been solved. In fact, I am the one who knows everything!
"What Bakar fears is magic. A mysterious fortuneteller once told him that he would eventually die at the hands of magic."
"Therefore, he began to block the magical power of the entire heaven and abolished the magic power of the entire heaven. Before this, the heaven was once a country rich in magic power."
"Ah!" When this was mentioned, Celia suddenly called out, "I have some impression that the people in the celestial realm seem to major in mechanical technology. The sister Kelly who strengthened your equipment not long ago is the one who accidentally fell to the Arad continent from the celestial realm. The equipment she has strengthened is very high-tech... Although it's embarrassing to say this, it is indeed much more advanced than Uncle Linus's equipment."
Xu Mu smiled slightly and didn't continue speaking.
soon.
“Snap!”
Following his pause.
"arrive."
Standing on the steps of the 300th floor, Xu Mu looked at the half-open door of the corridor in front of him.
Celia followed behind Xu Mu, still talking to herself with full of curiosity.
"If that's the case, everything makes sense. Bakar feared magic, so he built the City in the Sky to isolate the magic power of Arad underground, and the heavens therefore transformed into mechanical technology. However, according to historical records, Bakar's control over his subordinates was not that strict. In the heavens he led, dragons often went down from the City in the Sky to Arad to harm the people... Therefore, the great magician Mal set up a large magic circle at the top of the City in the Sky to completely isolate the heavens from Arad... Ah! The establishment of the City in the Sky, the appearance of the large magic circle, why the people in the heavens only use technology... It seems that everything is clear now!"
"But..." She blinked, looked at Xu Mu's back quietly, and murmured to herself in a voice that only she could hear.
"But how did the adventurer know all this... This is something that is not even recorded in the annals, and it happened hundreds of years ago... But he seems to know everything, as if he has traveled through history..."
Although he was very curious, Xu Mu had already pulled out the rift.
This is the posture of preparing to go into battle. After working with him for half a day, Celia has become familiar with Xu Mu.
When Xu Mu was fighting, she would be not far away, occasionally doing her best to give Xu Mu a buff.
Of course, the magic power of this buff was so weak that Xu Mu didn’t even notice it.
But Celia enjoyed it very much. She put her hands together and cast a [Celia's Luck] on Xu Mu.
In fact, Xu Mu’s previous success in obtaining suitable equipment was also somewhat due to this hidden BUFF.
Luck value is different from attributes such as skill attack, four dimensions, and attribute strength.
It is an attribute that no player can possess/learn/understand.
Only Celia can release it. Players who are blessed by her can increase their luck for a period of time.
Otherwise, relying solely on a tenfold explosion rate would simply be giving Xu Mu ten chances to win a prize.
You still can't touch it.
Xu Mu certainly had no idea what Celia was doing behind his back with her hands in her pockets.
His eyes were now fixed on the [Dark Corridor Area] on the 300th floor.
Different from the circular range of activities of other layers.
Dark Corridor This is a long and narrow corridor extending from the inside of the tower to the outside.
At this point, the stairs leading to the upper level disappeared.
If you want to continue climbing up, you must reach the other end through the corridor, and then start heading towards the city lord's palace area above from the winding steps outside the tower.
However, just as Xu Mu stepped into the dark corridor.
“Snap!”
A faint switch sound was heard.
Then, at the end of the sight.
A light came on.
Xu Mu saw the Axe Destroyer, who was wearing stone armor and looked like a little giant.
The properties also come into view.
[Axe Destroyer (Lord)]
[Level: 32]
[Attack: 1500]
[HP: 500,000]
[Skill 1: Giant Axe Stomp, smash the ground with a giant axe, causing an armor-piercing range attack with 150% attack power]
[Skill 2: Heavy Hammer, buffs the great axe, causing it to stun for 5 seconds when it hits the enemy]
[Skill 3: Thousands of troops pass through, swing the giant axe and charge towards the enemies in a diameter, causing high damage of 300% of the attack power! ]
[Skill 4: Domineering power remains, this unit cannot be knocked away]
[Introduction: Long before the Perrus Empire unified Arad, there was another prosperous monarchy on this continent - the Borodin Kingdom. Later, due to various historical changes, the Borodin Dynasty no longer existed, but the Axe Destroyer arrived in the Sky City during a dispatch mission, away from the destruction of the kingdom, and thus survived by chance. The aura of the great magic circle here gave him an extremely long life. But unfortunately, this unknown warrior has been silent in the Sky City for too long. He has forgotten the past, his origins, and the Hammer King Borodin who swore allegiance to him. Because he has been immersed in the aura of the Sky City for too long, now he is only loyal to the Lord of the City of Light, Seghart. ]
As the last level guarding outside the palace of Sky City, don’t underestimate the Axe Destroyer, who is only two levels higher than the Puppet King.
But he and Dougli are two extremes, and are the ultimate representatives of physical output at this stage.
150% armor-piercing attack means that he can directly cause a solid 2250 points of true damage to the player.
You know, at this stage, the health of the regular squishy main C is even less than 2000.
For example, a series of shield-supporting professions such as the nanny and the Paladin, even with a lot of equipment, their health may only be over 5,000.
If you get hit by that hammer, it could be fatal.
Kill instantly!
What's more, his axe also has a stun effect.
A BOSS with 1500 attack points in 5 seconds can kill the player just by spitting .
What's more, he has an extremely disgusting mechanism that prevents him from floating in the air.
This means that players' regular combos are useless here.
You can only use one set of skills and then run away quickly.
After losing the damage from normal attacks, relying on skills that only have a cooldown of more than ten seconds and the tankiness of his stone armor, he might not be able to kill this BOSS even if he waits until dawn.
Although the properties are slightly different from what Xu Mu encountered in the game in his previous life, the mechanism is almost exactly the same.
Xu Mu had been tortured by this guy a lot in his previous life.
Not to mention the poor equipment.
One careless move can lead to sudden death.
You can't get through even if you use up all your resurrection coins.
"However, in this life... I will let you experience the damage caused by the rift."
Just relying on the mechanism of Rift's stable 1% health reduction when facing the BOSS, it is enough to kill him.
What's more, he has many buffs on him.
Xu Mu was confident that he could defeat this tough BOSS within 10 minutes.
Just after Xu Mu took two steps closer.
His steps suddenly paused slightly.
The distance was far just now, and the Axe Destroyer was tall and strong, so he could be seen at a glance even from a long distance.
But now that he was closer, Xu Mu discovered that there were a few people standing next to the BOSS.
Player?
No……
After taking a few more steps closer, Xu Mu finally saw the appearance of the people around him clearly.
Barn, the leader of the Imperial Knights!
And several of his men.
In addition, there was a wandering swordsman with ragged clothes and unkempt hair.
Xu Mu also recognized this guy.
Aganzuo!
Wow, two of the four sword masters from Arad who were famous for the battle of Hellakh in the Howling Caverns came directly to the Sky City?
Moreover, they looked like they were about to attack, holding weapons.
Are you trying to swallow my BOSS?
In the original game, there is a plot in the Castle in the Sky where NPCs lead the way.
In the original game, players can gain experience when NPCs kill monsters and bosses.
But this is not necessarily the case in the current copy.
Especially since Xu Mu and his men hadn't even come close yet, they were already preparing to attack.
Xu Mu suspected that if he had climbed the stairs a little slower, the BOSS would have been wiped out by Forrest Gump and Barn.
Just as Xu Mu stepped forward with his sword.
A small team of several people from the Imperial Knights immediately blocked Xu Mu's way.
"The Imperial Army is doing business. Outsiders are not allowed to come near !" A mid-level training soldier with short pink hair named Reni put one hand on his waist and stabbed his sword into the ground. He shouted at Xu Mu coldly with a bit of superiority and arrogance.
Unexpectedly, Xu Mu ignored her scolding and rushed straight towards the BOSS.
What a joke!
One strike from each of these two sword masters could kill the boss instantly.
If I were two steps late, I wouldn't even be able to drink the soup.
"This guy... actually ignored the orders of the empire? A mere adventurer dares to..." Reni frowned, drew out the broadsword in his hand, quickly moved forward from the side, and slashed at Xu Mu on the head!
Although Rennie had no intention of killing, she also planned to teach this ignorant guy a lesson for trespassing into the military restricted area.
But the sword has just struck.
"bite!"
After a crisp sound.
Xu Mu wielded his sword with dazzling force, and as if cutting through iron, he directly knocked the broadsword in Reni's hand away.
Rennie's face suddenly changed as he looked at the broadsword that flew out of his hand almost uncontrollably.
"What a strong force..."
But Xu Mu still rushed towards the BOSS without looking back.
Just when Barn was about to kill the Axe Destroyer with one blow.
Xu Mu was quick-eyed and quick-handed, dashing forward with a Breaking Army move, and slashing horizontally with a swift swing of the sword.
When the two sword masters were startled by this guy who suddenly appeared.
Xu Mu raised his knife and swung it down.
Draw the sword and slash!!
In the next moment.
Swish! Swish!
Two white rays shot up into the sky!
Xu Mu successfully snatched the last blow of the Axe Destroyer from Barn!
By the way, I stuffed all the equipment dropped by the Axe Destroyer into my backpack without even looking at them .
"You...?" There was a flash of anger in Barn's eyes, and he looked at Xu Mu as if he wanted to eat him alive.
His trip to the Sky City this time, under the guise of investigating in the name of the Empire, was fake.
In fact, he had another plan in secret.
The guy who suddenly appeared now completely disrupted his original plan.
If Aganzuo and the Imperial Squad had not been here, Barn would have been ready to kill.
However, Aganzuo spoke first and smiled at Xu Mu.
"You are the adventurer who has mastered all professions and has recently become famous on the West Coast, right? I have heard of your name for a long time, and now that I see you, I find that you are indeed extraordinary. Even Seghart's capable men can be killed with one strike."
