Volume 10 Bugs Chapter 95: Not all potions are called God's potions
In a blink of an eye, the opponent who walked out of the metal hatch of the "Naichenia Type III Biological DNA Information Collection and Storage System" has become the "Type VI Biological DNA Derivative Sample" in front of us. As their models continue to change, their combat effectiveness is becoming stronger and stronger.
In fact, starting from the previous Type V sample, we have already started to select our opponents in a targeted manner. I should have told you before that although the overall combat effectiveness of adventurers of various professions is not much different at a certain level, there is a kind of implicit relationship of mutual promotion and mutual restraint between different professions. For example, I, a warrior, will be at a disadvantage when facing a mage or a warlock, but I will have a great advantage in front of a wanderer of the same level - the same is true for other professions. Although this mutual restraint relationship is not absolute, it plays a significant role in many cases.
Therefore, I have begun to avoid fighting with derivative samples of the magician Feiyin and the demon warlock Dingding Xiaoge, and instead choose derivative samples of Red Wolf or Longbow Shooting Sun as my opponents - my comrades-in-arms do the same.
Even so, when my opponent was replaced by a Type VI Red Wolf sample, I already felt a little tired. These samples have a great talent for learning to fight. They - or should I say "they" - seem to be able to turn every failure of their predecessors into an opportunity to learn and evolve. When they appear again, they will greatly change their fighting style, use their fighting skills more skillfully and purposefully, and bring us more trouble.
My comrades also began to feel this pressure.
"By the way, shouldn't these guys have just crawled out of the biological petri dish..." After destroying the opponent again, Fei Yin drank the strength potion to cure the weak state she was infected by when she encountered the derivative sample of the demon warlock Ding Ding Xiao Ge just now, while staring at the dead body on the ground that had not yet disappeared, tilting her head in confusion, and then asked a very thought-provoking question:
"...Logically, they should all be naked, right? Where did all these equipment come from?"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Changgong Sheri, who was pouring magic potion into his mouth, seemed to be choked and couldn't help coughing loudly.
"Mr. President, although I support your idea without reservation, but..." He glanced at Feiyin's graceful figure that could not be concealed by the wide magician's robe, and looked up and down at the derivative sample of Feiyin who had just been stabbed to death on the ground. The assassin Red Wolf scratched his two pointed ears and drooled and said shyly, "...I am still embarrassed..."
"What the hell are you thinking, you filthy bastard..." Fei Yin grabbed a two-handed giant hammer that she had seized from somewhere from her backpack and attacked the dark elf viciously, "...I mean, it should be easier to kill them without equipment!"
I agree with the president's idea very much - well, I admit that I have some regrets about Red Wolf's idea - what also makes me feel very strange is that we have all these strange things collected from all over the world seven thousand years ago - even including many small pieces made by our own guild members by accident - you know, even if we find a set of such equipment ourselves, it is an impossible task. And we can find all of them on every batch of our opponents, which makes people doubt that behind this information collection and storage system, in addition to at least biological vessels, there is also a copycat arsenal specializing in at least weapons and equipment.
And the worst thing is that they have gradually begun to master how to use these things.
When the "Type VII Biological DNA Derivative Sample" appeared, it was difficult for us to resist it by relying solely on our individual strength and scattered operations.
"We can't do this..." Perhaps because he could stay away from the battlefield with the Hell Soul charging into battle, Ding Ding Xiaoge was the first to notice something was wrong, "...I'm afraid we can't beat them one on one. We have to focus on one thing, Jeff, you and the Hell Soul should hold on together, I'll reduce their status, and the rest of you can pick out the weakest one first!"
"Yes, let's kill that dwarf priest first!" Magician Fei Yin advocated loudly.
"Sofa supports!" Ding Ding Xiaoge agreed actively.
"Bench support!" Red Wolf also shouted.
"I have no objection!" I agreed loudly while struggling to resist.
"I agree... Hey, that's not right, President, what do you mean by that..." Changgong Sheri was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"It means that you are despised. Do you have any opinion?" The president waved his hand and threw out an ice storm, then turned around and glared at the dwarf priest fiercely and shouted.
Changgong Sheri: "Uh... okay, I have no objection..."
…
The Hell Soul and I fought hard in the front, while Ding Ding Xiaoge cast the spell "Cloud of Weakness" firmly on the opponent's forehead. Fei Yin hid behind us and quickly gathered the most powerful single magic "Falling Frost Star" she could use. She summoned one after another extremely cold meteorite ice from the sky, which might be from the Ice and Snow God Realm, and bombarded the head of the dwarf priest on the opposite side again and again. At the same time, Red Wolf also approached the guy in stealth, and chopped him with a set of mean, gorgeous and extremely cruel combos, causing his blood to splatter. Longbow Shooting Sun used most of his energy to restore vitality for me and Red Wolf. When necessary, he had to use "Holy Light Protection" to stand in the front and temporarily replace me or the Hell Soul whose lives were reduced to the edge of danger.
Just when I felt that I was beginning to feel a bit tired, the opponent's dwarf priest finally fell to the ground and died after being attacked by the red wolf. In this evenly matched battle, when one side is at a disadvantage, the subsequent battles will only continue to aggravate this disadvantage. The situation on the field became five to four, then five to three, five to two... The advantage became a kind of inertia, like a snowball falling from the top of the mountain, rolling bigger and bigger, until finally, our opponent was completely buried.
"It's really close, it's getting harder and harder..." After defeating this wave of opponents, Fei Yin sighed with lingering fear, "...Who knows how many waves are left? I don't know if Xian Ge Ya Yi and the others can hold on."
"There are two more waves." I answered casually, and then paid attention to the battle situation of Xiange Yayi and the others. It seemed that they could hardly withstand the enemy's attack this time. The mechanical army composed of iron puppets and various large metal weapons rushed towards them all over the mountains and plains, slowly and firmly eroding their positions step by step, and forcing them to retreat step by step. However, although they are definitely defeated, it seems that they can at least hold on for another ten or twenty minutes. Judging from the frequency of the enemy's appearance just now, we still have a chance of winning.
"Hey, Jeff, did you know to look at the guide on the homepage? You've made progress. I didn't even know there were two more waves..." Changgong Sheri, who was used to my ignorance, was a little surprised at my understanding of this mission and said casually.
I was startled and immediately felt panicky: I certainly didn't know that the magical equipment called "Home Page" that I had never seen before would record such a thing as the battle seven thousand years later requiring nine rounds of opponents to be defeated. The reason why I knew there were two rounds of fighting left was entirely because I searched for detailed information about this battle in the source world.
So, while I was hesitating to deal with the difference in the longbow shooting the sun, I secretly reminded myself to be more careful in my future words and deeds, so as not to reveal any flaws in future interactions and let others discover my secret.
In general, the eighth and ninth waves of enemies are reinforcements of the seventh wave. Their vitality is more durable, their attacks are more sharp, and their tactical coordination is more flexible and reasonable. We must adopt the correct tactics and concentrate all our strength to defeat them.
Especially in the last battle, although the opponent's warlock could not summon a powerful servant like the Hell War Soul that required sacrificing a teammate to summon, the corresponding spells he could use were much richer than Ding Ding Xiao Ge. Weakness, slowness, fear, charm... endless negative states entangled us like maggots, making it difficult for us to exert even two-thirds of our normal combat power.
In such a difficult battle, Ding Ding Xiaoge was careless and failed to pull the Devil Prison War Soul out of the battle group in time. The opponent's warrior immediately roared and ripped it open with a fierce slash.
"Ah, it's over!" A desperate scream like a chicken being slaughtered came from behind.
These mentally and physically fragile spellcasters always collapse very quickly when faced with such desperate situations. At this time, a brave and fearless warrior is needed to step forward and stabilize the morale of the troops. So, at this time, I couldn't help but shout:
"…Help, I can't hold on any longer!"
Well, maybe I wasn't that brave, but at least my screams sounded much richer than that of the orc warlock...
At this critical moment, the face of our president, Lady Feiyin, suddenly turned red, then turned blue, and finally became very pale - I swear you will never see another person's face change so quickly in such a short time in your life - she gritted her teeth hard, and finally couldn't help but spat in anger.
"Longbow, you use the invincibility to hold on first, Jeff, come here!" she commanded loudly, then reached into her backpack and took out a purple bottle with carved patterns and stuffed it into my hand.
"Drink it!" she shouted at me, and her terrible expression made it hard for me not to suspect that she was planning to choke me to death with a bottle of poison.
"What is this?" Even though it was a life-and-death situation, I still felt it would be better to find out what this bottle of unknown origin was.
“God’s potion…” Fei Yin glared at me fiercely, the fiery light in her eyes seemed to burn me to ashes, “…drink it quickly, don’t let me change my mind, this thing can be bought for three thousand gold coins!”
If there is anything in this world that can turn a disadvantage into victory in an instant, besides those legendary artifacts, then this bottle of God's Potion is undoubtedly the first choice. It can instantly increase a person's health and fighting spirit (magic value) to five times the original and fill it up, while greatly improving various attributes, eliminating all bad conditions of the user, and making the user immune to all bad conditions within two minutes, while adding speed, strength, hit rate, defense, and various attribute resistances to the user.
The most important thing is: this thing is particularly effective for melee professionals.
It is said that the formula of this thing came from the sacred star realm where the gods live. It is not easy to prepare a bottle of potion. More than 60 kinds of precious and rare magic materials and medicinal materials are needed. For a small guild, it is very difficult to collect half of the materials. Feiyin said that such a small bottle of potion can be sold for 3,000 gold coins. In fact, this kind of mysterious potion with super complex craftsmanship is simply out of stock most of the time.
When I heard that the bottle in my hand was worth at least three thousand gold coins, I was really shocked: "Are you serious, President? You won't regret it!"
"I already regret it..." Feiyin rushed towards me with a look of remorse, "...Give the bottle back to me, and let us go to hell together ..."
I quickly tilted my head back and poured the potion into my mouth without leaving a drop. It was a milky white liquid, with a faint sweet taste and a soft milky aroma. It was smooth as silk and left a lasting aftertaste.
"It tastes delicious!" I shook the empty bottle and looked at Feiyin with ill intent.
Our respected president looked ashen: "Nonsense, not all potions are called God's potions."
I looked down at my hands and said, "I don't think this has any effect."
"Don't be so ungrateful..." Feiyin looked as if she wanted to swallow me in one gulp, "...You only have two minutes. If you don't kill them, you'll die of aflatoxin poisoning!"
Although I had no idea what the president was talking about, my instinct as a senior adventurer made me feel that what she was threatening me with was something very serious and terrifying - really, it was terrifying!
When I attacked the enemy, the "Holy Light Protection" of Longbow Shooting Sun had already lost its effect under the enemy's oversaturated attack. In just a few rounds, he suffered heavy losses in the enemy's group fight and was in critical condition. The opponent's half-orc warlock waved his hand and cast a painful curse on him, causing his vitality to continue to weaken for fifteen seconds.
I chose him as my first target.
This warlock does not have very effective defensive skills, and his vitality and defense are relatively weak. In order to better weaken our combat effectiveness, the servant he summoned is an evil charm. This is a special servant, who looks more like a sexy female human, wearing a very economical leather suit, and using a whip as a weapon. This servant is also a guy with very weak attack power, defense and vitality, but he is born with a strange skill to charm the enemy.
However, I am now completely immune to the charm skill, so neither the warlock himself nor his servants can pose much threat to me.
Feiyin and the others entangled the other opponents at the right time, giving me the opportunity to let go and concentrate on attacking.
With one stab, the warlock immediately lost more than 2,700 health points, which is more than three times my normal attack power. Then with another slash, the orc warlock's life has been lost by nearly half.
Instantly, a bloodthirsty primitive impulse stimulated my heart. I don't know how long it has been since I felt this "powerful". Seeing the enemy in front of me without any ability to fight back, and could only watch me kill him, a wild pleasure surged in my heart. This can no longer be called a battle, this is a one-sided massacre. The thin evil spirit attacked me with her whip in frustration, but I ignored her completely - it posed no threat to me, and I didn't even feel any pain. And as long as I killed this warlock, the servant demon would naturally disappear.
The opponent's dwarf priest was still restoring the warlock's health, but compared to his lost health, this little bit of recovery was completely a drop in the bucket. After a few rounds, the opponent's warlock was knocked to the ground by me.
At this moment, I heard a scream. I turned around and saw Changgong Sheri falling to the ground silently again. This rude dwarf who often mistook recklessness for bravery played a great role at the most critical moment today, and sacrificed himself to buy me a chance to fight back. In a sense, he died for me, and I think I will miss him - at least I will miss him a little in the few tens of seconds before he is resurrected.
But Changgong Sheri’s death is also huge bad news for us: we have temporarily lost the rescuer who can help us recover our vitality, which means that my comrades are facing a more dangerous situation than before - so I have to cheer up.
The second target I chose was the opponent's assassin - to be exact, I didn't choose him. He was attacking Feiyin at this time, but Feiyin used an ice spell to escape the pursuit and then led him to my direction.
Originally, a warrior had a great chance of winning against an assassin, not to mention that he had lost his stealth advantage. I killed him effortlessly, and he didn't even have time to counterattack in the face of my powerful attack.
The third opponent was the other side's warrior, which was a replica of myself. I had thought about attacking the other side's magician or priest before, but the magician can use the skill of "teleportation" to escape, and the priest has the protection skill of "holy light protection". The time of the divine potion is very limited, and I am not sure if I can successfully kill them before the effect of the potion ends.
The warrior was different, he couldn't run away and couldn't escape, he could only stand there and fight me face to face. His defense might be high, but at least I didn't have to worry about him running around before he died - not to mention, in the previous battle, he had always been at the front of the team, and his vitality was also greatly reduced.
Compared to the easy fight just now, this was more like a fight. The other warrior was very brave - as brave as I was - but it was not enough. In a battle of pure strength and metal, he was crushed to the ground by my overwhelming strength advantage and had no chance of winning.
When the holy medicine worth three thousand gold coins was squandered, only one wizard and one priest were left struggling, and we were left with four people. Ding Ding Xiaoge also summoned an evil spirit to entangle the opponent's wizard, and cooperated with the red wolf's elusive sneak attacks, while Feiyin and I firmly pinned down the dwarf priest, leaving him no time to support his comrades.
Finally, the other party's priest and mage fell almost at the same time. At this moment, everything around us suddenly fell into a mysterious silence. I secretly turned on the surveillance screen to see the situation of Xiange Yayi and the others, and then saw that they all huddled at the foot of the fortress cannon. The huge fortress cannon, which symbolized the last position of this blocking battle, had been beaten to less than half of its durability. But even so, the powerful puppet army that was about to succeed stopped attacking and stayed where they were coldly.
The last huge steel gate in the room opened, and a huge and crowded house appeared in front of us. I knew that the one hiding here was our target, the highest and only commander of the huge mechanical army, the supercomputer Darius.
