Chapter 174: In the continent of Arad, you can not live, but you can not die!
[Congratulations to player 'A' for successfully killing the Dark Corridor Lord - Axe Destroyer! ]
[As the first player to kill this lord in Area 141, you will receive the following rewards! ]
【Fatigue value +10】
[Random purple rare equipment part selection gift box (level 25) * 1]
Since it is a regular BOSS subjugation that can be accepted at the mission station, the reward is not as generous as when killing Benoshu before.
But it still aroused great envy from players in the regional channels .
"Wow... Although I've been shocked several times, I still can't help myself when I see how fierce this guy is..."
"Master A-sama is awesome! We were still dealing with the pterosaurs, but you defeated the boss of the Dark Corridor!"
"And it's the first kill. Can I understand that the hidden strength of Master A has surpassed the current number one?"
"Who is number one on the list? In my heart, I only recognize Boss A!"
"Don't do it, just brag a little bit, don't get involved with our Jiu Tong boss! Jiu Tong is the supreme god of our Sang Qiu! The reason why the first kill was taken away by A may be because Jiu Tong boss is doing a hidden mission!"
"Oh, someone is anxious. I won't tell you who it is."
"You won't tell me, right? Then I won't tell you either!"
The regional channel was bustling with activity, but Xu Mu had no time to pay attention.
Retracting the sword, Xu Mu smiled faintly in response to Aganzuo's praise.
"Uncle Aganzuo, thank you for the compliment."
Xu Mu still has a good impression of this swordsman who lost his memory due to the heavy blow of his beloved's death, but still relies on subconsciousness to investigate the whereabouts of his beloved.
However, Xu Mu did not have a good face towards Barn.
As one of the four sword masters, Barn, as the commander of the Imperial Legion, often abuses his power to do shameful things.
Wherever there is a disaster, he will appear.
Whether it is the current Sky City, or the Sky Curtain Behemoth, the Village of Pain, the Bilmark Empire Test Site, the Heaven, and other plots that he will visit in the future, he is present.
Even after reaching the Silent City, the one who dealt the final blow to the Ninth Apostle Luke was this little bastard who attacked him from the dark.
Not only did he kill Luke, but he also absorbed all of Luke's remaining aura for his own use.
Although the official setting for Barn in the previous life has not yet been fully given.
But Xu Mu had already faintly smelled a hint of whitewashing.
Judging from how Barn was frantically collecting the power of powerful people from all sides.
In addition, he had previously revealed that he had a deceased wife.
The best use of his collected strength is, in all likelihood, to wait until the strength is sufficient, open his arms and shout, "Resurrection, my love!"
But players who have gone through countless ups and downs have seen all kinds of big scenes.
Do you want to whitewash yourself to this extent?
There is a best example right next to you.
Uncle Aganzu also lost his beloved, but he did not seek death by wandering around the continent of Arad collecting strength to resurrect his deceased wife.
So this whitewashing reason is totally invalid.
At least it won’t pass Xu Mu’s test.
"From now on, we will probably be dealing with each other for a long time, Captain Barn." Xu Mu looked at Barn with a forced smile.
"Captain! This kid broke into the military stronghold and disrupted the empire's orders. He killed the Axe Destroyer from your hands. How should we deal with him?" At this time, several soldiers from the empire's elite squad also surrounded Xu Mu with guns and cannons.
Celia came over at this time, lifting her skirt. Before she even stopped, she could feel the tense atmosphere between the two sides.
She shook her little head left and right and looked around.
Although I don't understand what happened.
But he still stood firmly behind Xu Mu, and took out a magic wand that Xu Mu had never seen before, as if saying, "As long as we fight, I will give you a buff!"
"Hey, what are you doing...ah." Aganzu was stuck in the middle and was about to say something to dissuade them.
Barn's gaze passed Xu Mu and fell on Celia behind him.
At just one glance, Barn's brows furrowed deeply.
"This aura..." Barn whispered to himself. After thinking for a moment, he put on a smile again and said, "Forget it. This adventurer is also a big celebrity in Huttonmar recently. Although the Imperial Army controls the Sky City, it is not impossible to show some leniency when necessary."
Barn spoke, and the elite soldiers around him put down their swords.
Of course, they didn't know that.
Their action saved their lives.
With these elite soldiers around level 30, it is still a long way to go to stop Xu Mu.
"I think you should have been entrusted by the Magician's Guild to go to the City Lord's Palace to investigate the changes in the Great Magic Circle. After all, the jurisdiction of the Great Magic Circle on the top of the Sky City belongs to the Magician's Guild." After a pause, Barn said to Xu Mu: "How about we join forces?"
"I'd be happy to." Faced with this suggestion, Xu Mu thought about it for a moment and agreed.
His idea is simple.
Find an NPC to work for you and pave the way for you.
As a man, this kind of fully automatic operation is more comfortable than doing it manually.
Besides, Xu Mu is familiar with the plot.
It was clear why Barn was here.
The purpose is to kill the Lord of the City of Light and then absorb its power.
The reason for summoning Aganzu was to be on the safe side in case the city lord was too powerful.
He tricked Aganzu into working as his thug under the pretext of investigating the person in his memory.
Soon, three people with their own ideas set out on the journey together.
Aganzuo wanted to investigate the blurred memories in his mind.
Barn wanted to absorb the city lord's strength.
Xu Mu wanted to quickly level up.
The group climbed up the stairs outside the dark corridor at a very fast speed.
Until officially stepping into the 301st floor.
After entering the area of the city lord's palace.
The monsters here are a mixed bag, with no specific area monsters.
They are all mixed monsters below the sky city.
That is, pterosaurs, gargoyles, controlled adventurers, and a group of ancient soldiers wearing stone armor.
Moreover, the levels of these monsters have all reached level 33.
"I feel that level 35 should be the upper limit of this area. Players should only need to reach level 30 to enter the Skyshroud Behemoth. At level 40, the Dark City will be opened, at level 50, it will be the Snow Mountain, and at level 60, it will be the Ancient Map Series + Heaven." Xu Mu made a rough plan for future upgrades in his mind.
At this moment, Baines spoke.
"Come to think of it, I've heard the names of adventurers quite often recently. I'm very curious about their skills. I heard that you are the only full-time master in the history of Arad continent. Can you show me some of your skills to broaden my horizons?" He said to Xu Mu with a smile.
Obviously, Barn still remembered that Xu Mu had just snatched his boss away.
And he wanted to use this opportunity to test Xu Mu's strength.
After all, Baines had just explored it.
This adventurer is said to be proficient in all professions.
On the surface, it doesn't look that strong.
It's probably about the same level as the Axe Destroyer, or even weaker.
But the monsters in the city lord's palace are far more difficult than those in the dark corridor.
You can tell at a glance whether this guy is strong or not.
Hearing this, Xu Mu also glanced at Barn.
Barn's current level is around level 40. He hasn't yet grown to the level where he can kill Luke with one blow, but he is more than enough to deal with the monsters in the sky city, and can even crush them.
"Of course, I'm happy to embarrass myself in front of the Four Sword Masters." Xu Mu smiled faintly, raised his sword and walked forward to chop directly at the level 33 pterosaur in front of him.
Soon, damage figures exceeding 10,000 appeared.
The monsters in the City Lord's Palace are tougher, and Xu Mu doesn't have to chop them as easily as he did before.
Even with the combination of Rift, one set can only cut about half of the monster's health.
Especially when encountering stone armor soldiers, the damage dropped sharply.
This scene was seen by Barn.
Suddenly, a frivolous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
When the elite team under his command saw Barn's smile, they all took advantage of the situation and flattered him.
"It seems that this adventurer who claims to be proficient in all professions is not that strong."
"Is it so difficult to defeat even a monster that isn't that strong?"
"If Boss Barn goes there, he'll probably kill them all with one strike, right?"
"That's right, with this level of strength, he's so rude to Boss Barn. He really thinks he's a piece of cake."
Just as the elite team members were discussing.
Barn also walked to Xu Mu's side with sword in hand.
He smiled slightly and said, "It seems like you are having a hard time fighting?"
"Not bad." Xu Mu replied indifferently.
"Young man, don't show off when you don't need to. Let me help you. Otherwise, if you continue at this speed, by the time we reach the city lord's palace, the large magic circle will probably have repaired itself automatically." Barn laughed teasingly, with contempt in his tone.
Obviously, he was still upset about the fact that Xu Mu had just snatched the BOSS away from him.
He was planning to gain some prestige by killing monsters so that the boy in front of him, who had no manners at all, would behave himself when he saw him next time.
As a result, Barn drew his sword and swung it down towards the monster.
His expression suddenly became strange.
He stood there in a daze for a moment.
Then, another sword was swung out.
This time, cold sweat broke out on Barn's forehead.
"This monster...why can't I defeat it..." He frowned and drew his sword again with great confusion.
The result is still the same.
These monsters, which should have been easily killed by him in seconds, were now as hard as a piece of iron.
I even only took away less than one tenth of the monsters' health...
It was as if someone had given them a buff that increased their attributes tenfold...
It's impossible to defeat him at all!
But it doesn’t matter if you can’t beat it.
On the other hand, Xu Mu was like a silver snake, moving flexibly among the group of monsters.
Every time you draw your sword, it will cause high damage.
At least 30%, and at most it can instantly cut off half of the monster's vitality!
I am afraid of comparison in everything.
Barn, who originally disliked Xu Mu's low damage, could only produce less than 1/5 of Xu Mu's burst.
The winner and the loser will be determined immediately!
This scene also stunned the imperial elite team who had been trying to flatter others in various ways.
When he looked at Xu Mu again, the teasing and contempt in his eyes had long disappeared, leaving only a heavy shock flickering in his eyes.
Speaking of which, Xu Mu felt a little regretful.
Originally, I wanted to call these NPCs to act as my thugs, and I would just follow behind to gain experience.
As a result, I have become a thug now, and these NPCs of level 30 or 40 around me are like hungry trash. When I kill the monsters, I can only reduce their skin.
The irritated Xu Mu simply rushed to the front to lead the way.
Even after reaching level 30, the attributes of monsters become increasingly powerful with each additional level.
But Xu Mu, who had +12 Rift, was not afraid anymore.
It became very easy to clear monsters along the way, and the level was also increasing slowly.
Several people drove straight in and soon arrived at the top of the sky city.
At a glance, one could see a large azure magic circle floating above their heads, large enough to cover the entire city.
In addition, there is the Lord of Light, Seghart, who stands on the top of the castle, wearing special armor.
As a subordinate sent by Apostle Bakar to guard the Sky City, Sieghart possesses several powerful skills with extremely amazing lethality.
The coverage area of the Demonic Light Killing Cannon (wrong) is extremely wide, almost covering half of the palace.
Secondly, this BOSS is also in a domineering state and cannot be knocked away.
Xu Mu discovered that after the levels went up, these BOSSes basically had the characteristic of domineering body, and the usual method of knocking them away and performing combos was no longer applicable.
In addition, Seghart also has the ability to teleport.
When the player activates a skill, you can instantly move behind the player to avoid damage and launch the next attack.
As for Seghart's own attack power.
It has reached a high of 3,000 points!
Under the debuff that multiplied the monster attributes by ten in Purgatory Mode, he could deal 30,000 damage to Xu Mu with just one strike!
Even with nearly a thousand points of defense, Xu Mu would definitely be killed instantly by this BOSS.
However, Xu Mu was very familiar with the BOSS mechanism in his previous life.
Challenge it with full confidence.
After stepping into the area and activating the BOSS hatred, Xu Mu resolutely started his own personal show in front of the two sword masters!
Relying on a series of sharp and tricky output techniques and extremely cool snake-skin movements.
About half an hour later.
Xu Mu was under the astonished gaze of all the NPCs.
He successfully killed Segerhart without any damage to his horse!
“Crash!”
The spoils on the ground almost formed a small hill.
At the same time, the large magic circle above its head, which had cracks on it, quickly returned to its former calm.
Xu Mu's level jumped three levels in a row, successfully reaching level 30! He immediately topped the ranking list of the 141st District Hedonmar.
Step on the second-ranked drunkard, who is at level 29 with 88% experience value.
Afterwards, Barn was rather dejected because he had not absorbed Seghart's power. After a brief chat with Aganzu, he quickly set out with his elite team under the pretext of "passing the news back to the empire".
After confirming that this aura was different from the person he was looking for in his memory, Aganzuo returned home.
However, Xu Mu was not in a hurry to return to the city to submit the task.
He looked up at the huge azure circular magic circle above his head.
There are tens of thousands of densely packed and intricate lines engraved on it.
It would probably take the life's work of the best magicians in the continent of Arad to crack each pattern.
After looking at the lines for a while, Xu Mu crossed his arms and rubbed his chin gently, as if thinking about something.
Of course, he was not trying to decipher the large magic circle in front of him.
But Xu Mu suddenly thought of it.
Can I find a BUG myself?
You should know that the upgrade route of the original DNF is to first clear the Sky Castle and then stop the investigation there.
Then enter the Sky Curtain Behemoth, then to the Dark City... and so on.
You have to reach level 60 to gain the qualifications to enter the heaven.
It can be said that the restrictions are set by the authorities.
After all, at that time, even the blueprint of the heaven had not been released, so players could not go there even if they used cheats.
But this situation obviously does not exist in the copy, after all, its rank is still higher than the game.
"That is to say, the heaven is right above my head right now, and the NPCs there are also moving around."
"If I can directly unlock the authorization of the Great Magic Circle, does it mean that I can directly enter the heaven at level 30?"
"In this way, we can skip a long storyline and directly challenge the level 70 monster?"
Kill monsters above level 40?
Guigui! Isn't this a lot of experience points?
I have to say, Xu Mu was a little greedy.
This idea seems ridiculous and is undoubtedly a pipe dream for other players.
But for Xu Mu, who has already traveled with Celia.
It's not impossible to give it a try.
As a human being, you should always have dreams.
If it succeeds, it will be a big success!
"Celia, come to the center of the formation." Xu Mu waved to Celia.
The latter didn't understand why, but the strength and rich knowledge that Xu Mu had demonstrated along the way had already convinced this inexperienced girl.
She held up her skirt obediently, stood in the position designated by Xu Mu, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"I need a little help from you to see if I can break the seal of this large magic circle."
Celia was immediately surprised when she heard this.
"How is it possible... It is said that this great magic circle was created by the Holy Mage Mar of the Arad Continent. I am not even an apprentice magic student. I cannot possibly have such power... Eh?"
Before Celia finished speaking, her clear eyes were instantly filled with disbelief.
She just stood at the center of the magic circle projected below for a while.
The patterns on the large magic circle began to slowly converge as if they were given life.
Then it was redistributed into a new sequence pattern on the large magic circle.
Those were precision gears of different sizes, linked together.
Soon, the gears began to turn 'click'.
Soon, a strong wind blew up, blowing Celia's hair wildly and her skirt fluttering violently in the wind.
Soon, the large circular magic circle that sealed the road to heaven responded and slowly opened and closed like a door.
A loud reminder sound also sounded.
[Congratulations to player 'A' for successfully opening the new map - the Celestial Realm! ]
[Recommended entry level for this area: LV.70! ]
"Wow, it can actually open?" Even Xu Mu, who was always calm, had an extremely moved look in his eyes.
And it’s not just Xu Mu.
At the moment .
All the players in the entire dungeon and area were shocked!
No, we are still struggling at level 20.
Why did you go straight to the level 70 map?
Isn't your work too outrageous?
What's more, you're not even doing a good thing, you're simply trying to kill us!
