The second volume is called "One Heart" Chapter 11 Objectives
They were still staying at the teleportation array. They had been working hard for the past few days and were very tired. They decided to rest first and then go to Beijing City to take on the third mission after going online. Each one was more difficult than the last, and the later ones would be even more arduous.
I quit late, and I entered late. When I entered the game, they had already taken on the third task, which required us to obtain a magic crystal core from a mid-level level 5 or higher monster, and use it as the power source of the teleportation array. In this way, the teleportation array can be fully activated to form a barrier to protect the mercenary group's base and block monsters and other non-mercenary group players from entering. As for the range and defense capabilities of the barrier, it depends on the level of the mercenary group and the magic crystal core used as power. If you want to strengthen it, you must upgrade the level of the mercenary group and replace it with a higher-level magic crystal core.
The magic crystal core is the same as the magic crystal stone in the body of a low-level magic beast. It is condensed from the life essence of the magic beast. To obtain it, one must kill the main body. This is a highly difficult and almost impossible task. To kill a mid-level level five magic beast like the Fiery Giant Wolf, if we have not gone through the test of the Dark Forest, we may still have a little confidence, but after seeing their true strength, we dare not have any illusions anymore. Whether it is fighting with force or outsmarting them, in the face of overwhelming strength, what we can do is actually very limited.
After teleporting to the Howling Plains, I summoned the zombie army to guard us, so that the cats and dogs would not disturb us. Everyone stayed around the teleportation array, not saying a word, and couldn't think of a feasible solution. This time we had to kill the monsters, and there was no room for tricks. It was a test of our true strength. Fortunately, with the experience of the last time, everyone didn't act too depressed. There were still seven days before the deadline, and we would never give up until the last moment. This was what we all promised.
"If we all just keep thinking about it alone, the effect may not be good. I think we might as well speak out and discuss it. We can pool our wisdom and complement each other. Maybe we can find a feasible solution." Xue Wuxia broke the silence and proposed a solution that was not a solution.
"First, we have to determine the location. There probably won't be any ferocious monsters on the Howling Plains. We can only retreat to the Dark Forest or continue to advance deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains to encounter them. The best choice is naturally the Dark Forest. After all, we have been in and out of it several times, so we are relatively familiar with it."
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Yun Wuying continued, "The second thing is to determine the target. There are many monsters that meet the requirements in the Dark Forest, but they are all very powerful. We can't just act arbitrarily and fight whatever we encounter. We should choose the target in a targeted manner so as to formulate corresponding tactics. Only in this way will we have a chance of success. We can recall the monsters we have seen in the past few days, see which ones are relatively weak, and choose the best target."
With a specific direction, everyone's thinking suddenly became active. They put forward their own opinions and discussed the mid-level monsters that might become opponents.
"Don't even think about high-level monsters like the Purple Lightning Magic Leopard and the Ice Green Python. We can't defeat them at all."
"The target can't be too fast, otherwise it will be difficult to dodge and it will be easy to be killed by it rushing close to you. For example, the long-armed demon ape is definitely not an option. Not only is it fast, but its arms are so long and its attack range is too wide."
"Even creatures with high defense are no good. For example, a fanged boar may not be very fast, but its skin is too thick. Even if you hit it, you can't break its defense and you can't hurt it."
"It's a pity that the Stinging Wasp is a third-level monster and doesn't meet the requirements. Although there are many of them, they are fast and can attack from a distance, they are small in size and have low defense. If we use magic and bows and arrows to fight to the death, we may be able to kill a few of them if we are lucky. As long as we seize the opportunity to pick up the dropped loot, we can complete the mission." The Guardian of the Heart's words were met with unanimous eye rolls from us. He was still sleepy and was just thinking about good things. The little bird slapped him in the face and said, "Don't say those useless things to make trouble. Think about the business!"
After repeated discussions and elimination, we finally focused on the level 5 magic beast, the three-headed flame wolf. As the name suggests, the three-headed flame wolf is a magic wolf with three heads, facing different directions. Each head can quickly spray fire magic "fire spirit arrows". It can attack from all directions without moving. Perhaps because it is easy to attack, it moves slowly. Its body is only half the size of an ordinary wild wolf. Its strength is not outstanding, and its defense is not high. Our attacks should be able to hurt it, which is the most important thing. We had an encounter with it, and we sacrificed Wuyin and Nan Feiyan to get away. The "fire spirit arrows" attack speed is too fast, and there are three at a time, which makes it difficult to dodge. However, it was also shot and injured by Nan Feiyan's counterattack before death, so we know that its defense is relatively low.
The target has been determined, but I have not been able to think of a more reasonable way Although the three-headed flame wolf is a little weaker physically, its strength is not something we can contend with. Moreover, the "Fire Spirit Arrow" is no joke. As a mid-level level five magical beast, it can easily release hundreds of them. Once we are targeted by it, we are guaranteed to be turned into roasted pigs one by one.
They had no good plan, and I had no idea either. The three-headed flame wolf was not like the old zombie, and could use long-range magic attacks. If they tried to use "sucking essence and devouring marrow" to steal the opportunity, "fire spirit arrows" would be shot at them in an overwhelming manner. I could not save my life by "riding away from the dust" alone. I could only summon about a hundred zombie brothers at a time, and it only consumed more than a hundred "fire spirit arrows" of it, which was not much help. As for the old zombie, this so-called thousand-year corpse king had just taken shape, so it allowed me to occupy its brothers before, and it did not evolve until I was leaving and drilled out from the ground. Therefore, its strength was not very strong, and it needed some time to adapt to fully exert its due strength. It was just unlucky to mess with me who had just obtained the artifact, and my state was particularly brave, so I unfortunately lost my freedom. It was not in good condition, and the fire magic of the three-headed flame wolf just happened to restrain its corpse qi. Even if it participated in the battle, its role was limited and it could not serve as the main force in the battle.
"Or, let's go hire some players to help. With Ah Dai's more than a hundred zombies, if we can recruit a group of experts, we can definitely kill the Three-Headed Flame Wolf." In desperation, Little Lajiao, who had just experienced a death journey with us and came over excitedly after being resurrected, suggested this. She is a spoiled rich girl who always likes to solve problems with money. It is the simplest and most direct way.
Xue Wuxia shook her head. "I don't want that to happen. Achievements must be made through one's own efforts. Only in this way can they be valuable. If we always try to take shortcuts, it will only wear down our spirits. We don't do this simply for fame or profit. If we still can't solve the problem with our strength, it proves that we still have many shortcomings and need to continue to learn and improve. If we can't accomplish it, I would rather give up and wait for the next challenge."
Seeing that Little Lajiao seemed to understand but not quite, Nan Feiyan gently took her hand and said, "Little sister, when doing things, you can't only pay attention to the results and ignore the process. In fact, many times the process is more important than the result. Tieta usually loves you very much, but this time he only asked Afeng and didn't let other friends come to help you. He didn't want you to be like before, always relying on others or using money to settle things when you encounter problems. This is not conducive to your own growth. The purpose is to let you experience some hardships and become stronger. In fact, as long as you are willing to work hard, you are not worse than others. You didn't beat the monsters half to death for you to earn experience points for nothing, but you persisted. Tieta didn't say anything on the surface, but he praised you a lot behind your back. You are just too lazy. You always want to simplify things and are unwilling to work hard. You really should learn more from your sister Xue."
Little Lajiao blushed, tilted her head and muttered softly, "I know, Sister Feiyan, you only know how to listen to my brother. You even speak in the same tone as him."
This time it was Nan Feiyan's turn to feel embarrassed. She gave Little Lajiao a reproachful look. Little Lajiao quickly put on a smile and said, "Okay, Sister Feiyan, I know you and my brother are doing this for my own good. I admit my mistakes and I will change. Isn't that okay?"
Several of us who have nothing to do with her were laughing secretly behind Little Lajiao's back. She was always teased and it was rare to see her embarrassed. In fact, all of this was designed in advance at Nan Feiyan's request. They wanted us to find a chance to wake up Little Lajiao and persuade her to change some of her more paranoid ideas. I just took advantage of her words to express what I wanted to say. Black Iron Tower really took great pains with his precious sister!
