Chapter 20 A hand-to-hand fight!
Next time it’s just a euphemism.
The skeleton soldier can be summoned again after it dies, but if the demon statue is washed away, he will not be able to follow him, and there will probably be no next time.
Obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem, Youyou responded immediately.
At the same time, on the other side, the first floor of the maze.
In the hall covered with spider webs, two skeleton soldiers were using their coquettish movements to pull at the lone Crypt Spider.
Simply put, it was to lure the monster at night and lure the crypt spider to the side of the pillar, and then use the characteristic of this creature to only move straight and straight, and let Chiaki Ichiyo, who was holding a spear, sneak attack from the side.
According to their tests, burrowing spiders less than two meters long can usually be killed with three shots.
Compared to the hard head, the burrowing spider's butt - especially the sides of the butt, is a soft place that is relatively easy to break through.
The only troublesome thing is that these burrowing spiders will use their mouthparts to spray dense cobwebs. If they are trapped, they will basically die.
Happily, these spiders have an obvious forward rocking motion when "spitting".
Once he finds that the target's cheeks are bulging, Yiye Zhiqiu, who is hiding behind the pillar, will hit the ground with the spear in his hand to remind Huwan who pulls the monster to avoid it.
The two of them worked together all afternoon and killed nearly twenty crypt spiders without ever missing a beat.
Yiye Zhiqiu did some calculations and found that, ignoring the income from the nether coins provided by the spider eggs, twenty spiders could equally share 100 contribution points between the two of them.
When you go back, you only need to kill 20 more ratmen, and then spend some ghost coins to buy 1,000 kilograms of coal from professional players at a price slightly higher than the official purchase price, and you can fully get the 100 contribution points provided by the daily tasks.
In this way, when most players can only obtain 50 contribution points per day, their daily income can reach 200 points! You can reach the black iron level in five days!
This upgrade speed is enough to leave other players far behind when the server first opens.
Looking at Yiye Zhiqiu who was calculating, Huwan thought for a moment and said.
"I plan to give you all the contribution points of these twenty spiders. I will farm a few more later... Tomorrow night at the latest, you should be able to rush to Black Iron and raise the level limit to lv10."
“Why?”
Hushan shrugged nonchalantly and said matter-of-factly.
"Rather than splitting the game between two people and slowing down the pace, don't you think it would be more efficient to let one person reach the Black Iron level first, and then bring the other person up to upgrade?"
Indeed.
Yiye Zhiqiu understands what he means, and this is also the basic principle of many guilds that pursue strength when they open up new games.
That is to say, give priority to concentrating all the advantages to develop a few seed players, and then use these seed players to snowball to expand their advantages, thus feeding back to other players...
However, this kind of thing usually only happens between acquaintances, and the two of them were strangers until today.
Yiye Zhiqiu did not believe that the other party could not see the future potential of this game and the value of the early advantage.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm cheating?"
Hushwan smiled lightly and said nonchalantly.
"I have always had a good eye for people, and I believe you are not the kind of person who is greedy for petty gains...and it's not much."
Hearing these words, Yiye Zhiqiu could almost conclude that this guy should be a member of a gaming guild.
"...Then I'll be rude."
He owes this favor!
Putting the dagger to his left hand, Hu Wan smiled and stretched out his skeleton right hand to shake his hand.
r/> "What's wrong?"
"My attribute points were automatically allocated to agility," Huwan stared at the attribute panel in deep thought, "Although it's exactly what I want...but doesn't the game have free attribute points?"
"I seem to have added strength." Ichigo opened the attribute panel and took a look.

He actually wants to be a mage, but it seems that even the most junior skeleton soldier cannot be a mage.
"If I guessed correctly, this should be the hidden mechanism of "Calamity OL"."
Hushwan looked at him.
“I don’t know the intention of the development team in designing this, maybe for the sake of authenticity? However, the name of the experience slot is indeed misleading. In fact, it would be more appropriate to call it proficiency. That is, what attributes are trained by your gaming behavior in the game will be the attributes that will eventually grow.”
"That's it..." Hu Wan's eyes brightened, and he looked at Yiye Zhiqiu with interest, "Seriously, buddy, you really are not an insider of the game company?"
"How is that possible? I look similar..."
Yiye Zhiqiu looked at Hu Wan dumbfounded, paused for a while, and then looked away.
"But... I used to want to develop a game like this."
"I just thought of it, right?"
Huwan grinned and was about to say something else when a pop-up window suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
【Alert: Monster sieges the city! 】
【Explanation: A large wave of ratmen is approaching towards the Demon King's territory! Players who are nearby are asked to pick up their weapons immediately and assemble towards the core area of the Demon King's Territory!
Successful defense of the attack will result in a huge amount of ghost coins and contribution points as rewards. Failure to do so will result in the forced closure of this closed beta event! 】
Seeing the forced closing sentence at the end, Su Wan felt that his heart was in his throat... although he did not have a heart in the game.
"Monsters are attacking the city?!"
"I just logged off and took a look at the forum. I was going to record my thoughts, but I found out that some players reported that thousands of rats were moving towards the Demon King's Ridge." Looking at the serious skull face, Yiye Zhiqiu stopped talking, "It seems that there are pop-ups online too."
Hushwan asked quickly.
"Who is that player?"
"It seems to be called the Tauren Warrior."
"...What's the name of the bird?" Huwan muttered, staring at Yiye Zhiqiu and continued, "Where is he now? Can you determine the direction?"
Yiye Zhiqiu shook his head.
"I guess it's quite difficult. The mine is all twisted and there are no signs. Judging from his confused expression, I even doubt whether he can find the way back..."
Huhwan pondered for a long time.
「怎么说，回去帮忙吗？」
「那肯定得回去帮忙。」
一叶知秋回头看了一眼爬满蛛网的大殿，那儿是他和某个新认识的朋友肝了一下午的战场。
"If the home is gone, everything will be meaningless."
……...
"Boom——"
The earth is shaking!
The Rat Man is roaring!
Gnaw it all, eat it all—— The human things run away helplessly!
That is one of the four scenes of the end of the world hanging in the confessional of the Holy City Cathedral.
Housands of rat soldiers from the depths of hell flooded the walls of the Doomsday Fortress!
Faced with the behavior of the rat men gathering to launch a death charge, the believers of Saint Sith called it the "Rat Tide"!
That is a foolish act that overrides the survival instinct of living things. The rats swarming in front of them step on their hind feet, destroying their enemies and themselves at the same time!
Bathed in the corrupt light given by the three rat gods, they usually disperse if they can't be beaten, and they will never run away this time! There is absolutely no possibility of retreating at all!
Just a slight stagnation.
They will be trampled into pulp by the people coming up from behind!
"Charge!"
"Smash those skeletons!"
"Bite the necks of those human things!"
"For Gerald!!!"
The ratmen with red eyes have gone crazy, filling the entire mine tunnel like a rolling torrent.
Hhearing the scream, Luo Yan's expression changed slightly.
Gerlo!
Gluttonous rat!
When he heard this name, he who came from the deepest part of hell already understood everything.
Just deep in this mine, a group of slave rats who were driven out of the maze completed the ritual to please Gerlo under the most extreme circumstances, and raised an extremely fat "Chosen Rat"!
Luo Yan still remembers learning in the Demon King Academy class that the conditions for the ritual are extreme hunger and extreme wealth of food, and a slave rat with an extremely twisted soul and personality!
The probability of the ceremony's success is extremely small, after all, Gerlo's character is as awkward as his children.
Generally speaking, this kind of twisted monster is usually made by the devil to cause trouble for adventurers who go deep into the maze!
It’s just that because the success rate of the ritual is not high, few demon kings will use it.
As for the Demon King's personal crusade against the rampaging God's Chosen Rat...
He has never heard of it!
"Why the hell did this happen to me..." Luo Yan cursed, raised the wand in his hand and began to prepare for casting spells. The energy of the dead and the energy of the earth element gathered at his feet at the same time.
Facing the surging tide of rats, [Knowledge Explosion] standing in the front row widened his eyes in surprise. Unfortunately, there was not much expression on the skull's face, otherwise the expression must have been like seeing a ghost.
"Shit! So much experience——"
Before he could finish his words, the torrent of flesh and blood had already overwhelmed him.
That pale skeleton was smashed into pieces, and "Calamity OL" finally gave birth to the first player to die in battle!
After sacrificing a [Knowledge Explosion], the players standing behind immediately realized that this group of ratmen was unusual and became alert.
"Don't be afraid, brothers! There are just a group of experience packs on the opposite side! Get together in formation! Set up spears!"
Someone in the sea of skeletons shouted loudly, and a few skeletons started to move first, followed by other players, who crowded into a thorny bone wall in the not-so-wide mine.
No fancy tactics.
At this moment there is only the collision of blood and bones!
The skeletons in the front row were squeezed to pieces, but they were simply supported by the skeletons in the back. The surging rat tide was blocked from moving forward.
The rat man rushing at the front was stabbed into gourd strings by his spear, and dark blood spurted out from the broken spear head.
Not only that -
There are also the bone spurs and stone pillars rising from the ground!
Just as he was about to block the charging momentum of the Ratmen, he was smashed open by the latter with mining picks and blunt objects!
Luo Yan holds the magic wand in his hand and carefully considers the spells that can be used to kill the rats as much as possible while avoiding burying himself and the players alive in the mine.
The constantly squeezing corpses formed a slope, and the rats with red eyes rushed forward one after another and began to climb up on the corpses of the same kind, trying to climb over the towering bone wall!
However, as soon as their claws climbed up to the top of the city, a large sword dragged by the strong wind swept towards them, cutting off the rat men in front, turning them into a bloody rain and swaying backwards.
That "person" is Bond.
Awakened by undead magic, he came back to life as a zombie, and had powers far beyond what he had been alive!
"Gan! Where did this NPC come from?!" Looking at the zombie standing above his head, Gou Shi widened his non-existent eyes.
This guy is a bit handsome!
Stealed all his limelight!
"It seems to be that lump of meat sauce from before."
"What the hell?!"
"Ouch!
It can be seen that she is extremely scared.
However, she heard that if she lost, she would be locked out of the server and the whole day's coal digging would be in vain, so she still tried her best.
Seeing that the wall of skulls was about to become unstoppable, a player named [The septic tank became stuffy] suddenly stood out.
His body was tied with a dozen sticks of explosives that were probably used for mining. He lit the fuses with a torch and screamed as he climbed onto the Sea of Skeletons.
"Brothers! Take the first step! See you on the forum!"
Seeing the firecrackers with sparks rising from them, the player who was stepped on almost turned around and ran away in fear. Fortunately, he remembered that he was able to stabilize his position in the game.
There is no gorgeous run-up.
The NPC named Bond next to him suddenly became smart, grabbed his arm and threw him out.
Humbling, he drew an arc in the air and fell hard into the group of rats. After waiting for a long time, there was no sound.
"You're cheating me!" Gou Shi couldn't help but cursed.
It’s actually a squib!
That tragic atmosphere was in vain! He was actually moved for two seconds!
The war situation has reached a stalemate again.
The Skaven couldn't advance even half a point, and the sea of skeletons formed by the players couldn't do much to the former.
Standing on the sea of skeletons, Bond wielded his sword and killed the ratmen one by one. However, in the face of the continuous attack, even the tireless zombies became tired.
The reason is that there are too many monsters, and there is no sign of stopping!
As for the players, although the dead skeletons can quickly come back to life, they are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Especially summoning skeletons is not without cost.
Temporary summons summoned by consuming mana cannot be used as a container for the soul, and monsters summoned by the core of the Demon King's Territory require faith.
Luo Yan felt a pain in his heart when he saw his lost faith.
At this moment, a skeleton soldier suddenly ran up to him and knelt on the ground with one knee.
"Lord Demon King! The mine tunnel 100 meters ahead of you is just above the lower labyrinth!"
This person is none other than Yiye Zhiqiu.
After hearing his report, Luo Yan immediately came to his senses and understood what this guy meant.
As long as we find a way to collapse the mine tunnel and completely connect it to the first floor of the underground maze, we can use these natural enemies of the ratmen to deal with them!
This is indeed not difficult for a steel-level magician, especially since the mine tunnel itself is already attached to the edge of the maze!
The only problem is that if the connection with the maze is not successful, there may be new troubles...
Looking at the defense line that is about to be unsustainable, Luo Yan knows that he has no time to hesitate.
I can only take a gamble that the group of burrow spiders will die together with the group of rat men!
Luo Yan waved the magic wand in his hand, recited the incantation, and used the remaining magic power to release the last steel-level magic.
"The earth is falling!"
At the same time as his voice fell, the earth trembled, like an earthquake.
Before everyone could react, the small mine cave suddenly collapsed!
孽—— by')
The tide of rats that was constantly being squeezed finally found an outlet, and poured into the main hall on the first floor of the maze along with the rolling gravel.
That turbulent scene is like a flood discharge during a flood!
Falled from a height of more than ten meters, the rat man who hit the ground first was vomiting blood, and the rat man who followed him was also dizzy and couldn't find his direction.
But when they finally woke up from their daze, they were met with scarlet eyes.
Creepy fear crawled all over the bodies of the rat people. They knew very well who those guys were and what those eyes meant——
Staring at the little mice that fell into the Pansi hole, the hungry burrow spiders were gearing up in the darkness.
It’s meal time!
