【From now on, I will follow you! 】
[You must protect me! ]
[Gah!]
As soon as Shi Liyi took on the task, the three-eyed zombie beast immediately put down the food in his hand and stood up.
Then she looked around and walked to his side. At the same time, the color of her skin began to change slightly due to the environmental difference caused by moving just a few steps.
"Awesome, similar to the skin of a lizard?"
Shi Li noticed this detail and couldn't help but marvel at it.
【Be careful, she's coming! 】
【Be careful, she's coming! 】
As a result, just as he came to Shi Li, the three-eyed zombie beast quickly hid behind him with a look of fear on its face.
"So fast? Is this really the mission mechanism?"
"Keep some distance first, and help me with the situation."
Shi Li was a little surprised, but he immediately made arrangements.
Qingyu: "That won't work. We will join the battle too."
Today: "I am a tank, there is no reason for me to be away from my teammates."
Thursday: "Don't underestimate us, haha."
V-50: "We are allies, after all."
Whether out of considerations of self-interest or loyalty, Shi Li did not expect that they would be quite active.
"Okay, then be careful."
Of course, he did not refuse this.
When everyone was ready, a figure soon came quickly from a distance, jumping continuously on the broken roofs.
As they got closer, they finally saw each other's appearance clearly.
The other person had multiple braids and a pretty face that looked heroic.
He was wearing light armor made of bamboo plates and carrying a huge sword on his back.
For some reason, Shi Li always felt that the other person gave him a vague sense of familiarity.
"I'll go meet her first!"
I volunteered to meet him today.
As a steadfast zombie, with the right skills, his ability to withstand attacks is not much worse than that of a panel monster.
[Devil, die! ]
Seeing what was coming today, the demon slayer didn't bother to be polite with him. He just drew out his sword and jumped high.
“No wonder it looks so familiar!”
Hearing this line, Shi Li suddenly remembered it.
Isn't this the NPC that was chasing the Phantom Zombie when I just entered the dungeon?
Could it be that someone triggered the Three-Eyed Zombie's mission at that time, and then was killed before completing it?
Thinking carefully about my current position, I found that it was indeed quite close to my initial position when I entered the dungeon.
While he was thinking, a huge golden sword shadow fell down along with the demon-slaying woman's slashing.
"Oh my god! What is this?!"
At the same time, there were exclamations today.
Boom!!!
Then they saw his figure flying backwards.
Bang!
Today it flew straight into the area of ​​​​ruined houses at the rear, knocking down several broken walls before finally stopping.
"Uh..." x4
Everyone, including Shi Li, was stunned.
The attack of this demon-slayer woman is too fierce.
To be honest, even Shi Li was unwilling to go up and take it head-on.
Moreover, he felt that the opponent's AOE ability was obviously stronger than the sword-wielding old man's zombie beast he had just encountered.
With the experience of dealing with the sword old man's zombie beast, he no longer sent out the relatively precious stone zombie to defend this time.
Anyway, whether it is a stone zombie or a ginseng zombie, they are like paper in front of these NPCs, there is no difference.
So it’s better to use the cheaper ginseng funeral.
"I'll ask my little brother to hold this guy back."
"Don't go up and fight in close combat. If there is a long-range attack, just smash it directly."
Shi Li explained.
Qingyu and V-50 are 1-swallowed Wind-Chasing Zang and Wise Zang, and have 5 skills.
Among the 5 skills, there is indeed at least 1 ranged attack.
As for Thursday, who was completely passive as a balanced zombie, he had no choice but to run around and do the hard work to dig out Today to prevent him from being affected by the battle.
[You guys dare to stop me? 】
Boom!!!
[Humph! Is that all you can do?]
Boom!!!
【A group of ants! 】
Boom!!!
As the swords fell, circles of ginseng zombies were killed one after another.
But under Shi Li's command, they still rushed forward one after another, fearless of death.
"This guy, his skills don't have CD and don't consume energy?"
V-50 complained while using his skills.
"According to the mechanism of this instance, only when you are in Breaking Strength or Raging Strength can you have such abundant energy."
Qingyu speculated.
The Wind Chaser type is very good at recovering energy at the poker table, but it is average in this dungeon. The opponent does not need a running start to use skills, so it is definitely not the Wind Chaser type.
Only by constantly relying on attacks to recover energy, or a cycle of violent blood consumption + blood sucking, can one have such strong endurance.
"In fact, it may also be the Wind Listening System."
Shi Li said as he lay on his side on a broken wall and threw out a spirit bomb.
Because since the battle began, the opponent has not made any large-scale movements.
It may also be the style of moving slowly while dragging the wind back to the energy range.
However, there is no need to guess which faction the other party belongs to.
Because Shi Li knew that he would get the answer soon.
Boom!!!
As he fired the Spirit Bomb for who knows how many times, the demon-slayer woman finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground.
[You guys are... monsters! ]
As she murmured, her figure gradually began to turn blue.
[Ding Dong! ]
You killed the Scavenger.
[This NPC enters the card pool]
[Ding Dong! ]
【Three-eyed beast mission completed】
The continuous pop-up copy prompts made Shi Li's face light up with joy. It was done.
Thursday on the other side also dug out Today. Even this guy with rough skin and tough flesh was left with only skin and blood after taking a head-on hit from the Scavenger.
But it’s a good thing that you didn’t die. Just be careful next time and wait for your health to recover automatically.
In the next few days, the entire dungeon trip went quite smoothly.
With the assistance of Qingyu and four other players, Shi Li swallowed up several more teams of players.
As a result, he alone has the power of more than 70 players.
The panel monsters raised in this way, even without their minions, are enough to run rampant in the dungeon relying solely on physical combat.
The remaining contestants could only hide in the corner and tremble.
However, some people took a different approach. Knowing that they could not deal with Shi Li, they shifted their targets to Qingyu and the others.
Anyway, whether they kill Shi Li or one of Qingyu and others, the vacated promotion spots will be the same, so why should they go after Shi Li, this tough guy?
Fortunately, the Ginseng Monk and the Stone Monk protected Qingyu and the others quite well.
After the initial close call, people became more prepared and were not successfully targeted.
Shi Li was not in a hurry to clear out the remaining players. As his followers grew in number, they were almost filling up the entire ancient city.
With such a huge advantage, he and Qingyu and others found almost all the task NPCs.
In fact, there are not many quest NPCs in the entire copy. They found about 10 in total.
There were exactly four of them that Shi Li felt he had no confidence in completing.
After all, some tasks do not require strength, but require luck.
Similar to the sword-finding mission of the old man before, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
So he didn't do these four tasks and handed them over to Qingyu and the other four.
Unexpectedly, Qingyu and Zhou Si were quite capable and completed the mission, but the mission with V-50 today was not completed.
In addition, Shi Li also cleared out all the non-mission free NPCs in the ancient city.
Some of these treasure hunters are very strong, and some are even as strong as scavengers and sword-wielding old men.
Some are very weak and are not worth mentioning in front of the sea of ​​zombie beasts.
In the end, it took five days in total, and Shi Li finally cleared out the entire ancient city. He then eliminated the remaining contestants who had already discovered their locations.
With the birth of the first five survivors, the appearance list of their group was finalized.
Buzz!
After a flash of light, Shi Li's figure appeared in the pure white space.
Finally, it's time to draw cards.
"I completed 8 tasks in total and got 8 extra card draws."
At this moment, he couldn't help but rub his hands in anticipation, wondering what kind of card would appear for him.
[Instance completion - 100%]
[Getting experience points, calculating...]
[Congratulations, your level has been raised to LV14]
First of all, the experience gained from completing the dungeon allowed him to level up 1 level directly.
"Synchronize to LV20, which means that I have gained LV20 experience at LV13."
"So it's not surprising that he was promoted to level 1."
This result is quite satisfactory.
After the level was upgraded, a ball of light slowly floated in front of him.
He was already very familiar with this scene.
[Please draw 9 cards as rewards for this copy]
"ah?"
Then this reminder about the copy made Shi Li open his mouth in surprise.
I completed 8 tasks, but ended up only having 9 chances to draw cards.
In other words, the basic number of card draws in this copy is only 1?
However, what happened next surprised him even more.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Question mark cards floated out from the ball of light and were sparsely displayed in front of him.
"1, 2, 3, 4..."
He counted them carefully and found that there were only 29 in total.
This was the copy with the smallest card pool among all the copies he had experienced, extremely small.
"I completed 8 tasks and obtained 8 task NPCs to enter the card pool."
"In addition, 20 free NPCs were killed and added to the card pool."
“And now I’m given 29?”
"The extra one..."
After calculating this result, Shi Li was dumbfounded.
In other words, if you don't do any tasks and don't deal with any NPCs, then the final result will be a card pool of 1 draw + 1 card?
"No wonder Sister Hunchback said that the card pool is completely determined by the copy behavior."
Recalling what the host had said before, he finally understood.
"Just take a look at it first."
So he walked to the very edge of the row of floating question mark signs and stared at them intently.
"It turns out that the extra one is this one."
This first picture made him realize it.
【Ga ga ga! 】
On the card, a blurry-looking projection of a zombie beast limped out from the beam of light.
Although this projection has a distinct sense of strangeness when viewed from a third-person perspective.
But Shi Li still saw it at a glance.
Isn’t this the me in the copy?
"It seems that I really guessed it right."
"The organizers really didn't intend to let the contestants go back empty-handed."
"No matter how bad it gets, you will still be able to get a card based on yourself."
"And if you don't kill the free NPC, it's 1 card 1 draw, which means you're guaranteed to win."
But as previously speculated, Shi Li did not hold out high hopes.
Because some skills are forcibly added to the zombie template, they are incompatible with each other.
Situations like this will definitely be corrected.
"But the name of this card looks pretty good."
"I think it has something to do with the dungeon ranking, the amount of food eaten, etc."
【The King of the Ancient City】
Listen to the Wind, 20 points, A
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/4
[Ability User - Passive]: Ancient City King's Score -10
[Don't Want to Move - Passive]: When the King of Death in the Ancient City is stationary, he will recover an additional 1 energy point
[King's Majesty - Passive]: When the King of the Ancient City reveals his card, the adjacent card in front of him gains [Coating] for 1 turn.
[Mortal Beast Guards - 3 Energy]: The Ancient City Mourning King roars and summons 2 [Mortal Beast Guards] at the nearest tablet.
(【Coating】: Immune to all debuffs)
【Mourning Beast Guard】
Balanced, 5 points, E
Attack 5, 15/15
"It seems like it's not a loss at all to be corrected like this."
After browsing the cards, Shi Li touched his chin.
To be honest, not only is it not a loss, this card is also very powerful.
The first and most important point is that it is given a [coating].
This is my first [coated] card.
[Coating] can restrain all negative and controlling effects, and can be said to be one of the strongest effects.
In front of it, all negative effects are equal to nothingness.
The only thing that can restrain [Coating] is [Dispel].
And intensity.
If the strength is high enough, the opponent can be killed purely by damage, so it doesn’t matter whether it is [coated] or not.
20 points + [Coating], this card can basically be regarded as a permanent card in your own deck at this stage.
Put it in the replacement deck, just in case.
And this [Mortal Beast Guard] is also okay.
5 attack points is normal for a level 2 minion summon.
15 health points, which is also the normal health value for a second-level minion summon.
That is to say, even in the [Defense] situation, a 30-point even-split card is enough to kill it.
In addition, the degree of freedom of this summoning skill is not very high. It cannot be released at any position and can only be placed at the empty tablet closest to [The King of Death in the Ancient City].
In other words, there is no complete autonomy in selection, and the summoning position is quite limited.
It is not easy to implement the tactics of directly hitting it in the face or crossing the line.
However, as compensation, it can summon 2 at a time.
"As expected, there is no bad A-level card. What's more, it has no useless entries."
"Just right, I'll use it to replenish my summoning deck."
"2 card summon + [Coating], maximum defense."
Just in case, he didn't make a choice right away.
Instead, pull out its monomer as an alternative.
Continue looking down, the second picture.
【Alibaba ga! 】
The card projection is a zombie beast wearing a turban.
Its movements are quite agile, and it does not look at all as slow or lame as other zombie beasts.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about this."
This was one of the more difficult free NPCs he had encountered.
The most troublesome part is that it will steal the player's attribute values.
Before meeting Shi Li and the others, I don’t know how many players’ stats this guy had stolen.
This results in thick blood, high defense and fast speed.
All the items of Shi Li's five-member group were also stolen, and were not returned until they were killed.
So he was quite looking forward to this card.
After all, if the ability to steal attributes can be brought to the table, it will definitely be a very sharp mechanism.
result……
【Thieving Beast】
Break, 30 points, B
Attack 30, 70/70, 0/3
[Unjust Thief - Passive]: The thief's health -30
[First Hand Dig - Passive]: When the thief reveals the card, [steal] 10 points of the upper limit of the target's health
[Backhand Draw - 3 Energy]: The Zombie Beast attacks a target and [steals] 5 attack points from it
(【Steal】: Reduce the target's corresponding value and increase your own corresponding value)
“This is a bit of an over-correction.”
"The 10 points of life limit [steal] cannot make up for the loss of 30 points of life at all."
"And it takes 3 energy points to steal 5 attack points, which is indeed a bit less."
"But you can't expect too much from the [Steal] of B-rank cards."
He had seen several [Steal] cards in the second-level authority of the card hall, both B-level and A-level.
Even if it is a top-quality A-level [Steal] card, if converted into the same concept as [Thief Beast], at most it can only steal 10 points of attack power with 2 points of energy, and at the same time it has to sacrifice some of its own basic attributes as a price.
After all, that's what [Steal] cards are like, and they're subject to some balance restrictions.
It can't be written as "steal" and pronounced as "invincible".
However, [Steal] cards are rare after all, so Shi Li has a good idea about the use of this [Thief Beast].
That is, in the BOSS battle, it will definitely have the opportunity to show its strength.
For example, those games where I had to rely on healing to survive, and barely kill the BOSS with scraping-style attacks, and the games lasted hundreds or even thousands of rounds.
If there is a [Mortal Stealer], it can be easily restrained.
After sucking 30 times, which is about 90 rounds, it can get 150 points of attack power.
For a multi-stage BOSS, the healing power can be infinitely sustained to maintain the health line. It is even possible to steal the attack power of the BOSS in the current stage before entering the next stage.
Of course, this also depends on how much attack power the BOSS has.
If the BOSS only has 100 attack points, it cannot steal 150 points.
"From this perspective, it really is a great weapon for fighting bosses."
"The Weapon Master with strong damage reduction and the Beast of Death that can steal attacks are a very powerful combination."
He even had a tactical plan in mind .
There is only one BOSS card on the opposite side, and the BOSS only attacks once per round.
You only need one column of cards: [Weapon Master] + [Mourning Beast] + [Jade Deer], and then put any ace card in this column.
This is enough to easily kill most of the bosses in the first few levels of the Seven Paths.
From a PVE perspective, [Mourning Beast] is much more valuable than [Mourning King of Ancient City].
"OK, this one is also listed as an alternative."
Pulling it out in the same way, Shi Li continued to look down.
