Chapter 424 War Chess(1/2)
"Damn, isn't this the meaning of fighting to the death?" Looking at the blocked channel, Kris Dena and I went straight to Sparta. If it was in a flat state, it would be a trick to deal with a spider monster the size of a car. But the problem is that not only is our size reduced to only two inches high, but our fatal attributes are almost suppressed. In this case, the only way to deal with this big spider monster is to constantly create small wounds for it, and then rely on the accumulated damage in the game to consume the guy's health bit by bit, and finally consume him to death.
To be honest, I have almost never used this kind of combat method since I exceeded 800. It is not because I don’t have this kind of combat ability, but because it is not necessary to say that consuming monsters is the most normal in the game system, but it is the least recommended combat method. The reason why it is said that because all the attributes of creatures in "Zero" are digitized, relying on this continuous subtraction game, sooner or later, the target’s health value can be polished out. But in fact, the life value of monsters is generally more than three times that of players of the same level, and the health value of elite monsters is eight to twenty times that of players of the same level. There is no small BSS stream with a health value lower than that of players of the same level 50 times. As for those big*ss with the number of names... Thousand times health value is the entry standard, tens of thousands of times health value can only be considered a formal state, and tens of thousands of times is not without.
Faced with the powerful vitality of the monsters, relying on countless tiny damage to accumulate the entire health of the opponent. This is obviously unreliable. Therefore, those guilds who brush BSS need to use thousands or even tens of thousands of people to siege the BSS for a day, one night, or even two or three days in order to consume the opponent's health. Of course, this is still ideal data. In fact, in real battles, BSS will recover blood, but the speed is not ordinary fast. Fighting continuously for one or two days. You can imagine how much health it has recovered during this period. What's more deadly is that the BSS are not lying there and letting you cut, they will fight back, and it is a
The kind who attacks a large number of pieces will also heal themselves. Although there are often times limits, they can restore tens of percent health points each time. In addition, these guys will also call for reinforcements. If you can't beat them, let me go, and then lean on the side and rest for a while. Finally, if you really find that you can't handle it, the BSS will suddenly be blessed to your heart, and then turn your head and run with the BSS's health points and physical fitness. As long as they run away with their minds, there are basically few people who can stop it. Therefore, the slow blood-consuming method in the process of pushing BSS is actually the most cost-effective. It takes a long time to lose a lot of money, and it is easy to do vain work.
Faced with this situation, players came up with a method. Isn’t Zero a real simulation of natural laws? So as long as the vitals are destroyed, they will definitely not survive. Therefore, there should be such a setting in the game. In fact, this guess was already known when everyone first left the novice village in the early stage of the game. After level 200, there were almost no players who didn’t know this. The problem is that everyone knows that vital attacks can easily and quickly deal with any advanced monsters, but do you hit it?
Monsters are not fixed targets. They can run, jump and fight back. They must accurately hit the key points in sports wars. In fact, it is not as simple as imagined. So, even if this is a secret that everyone knows, ordinary players can still helplessly play attrition wars with the BSS. The only one who can really achieve the key attack is always that small group of top players. Of course, this so-called small group of top players actually has a large number of people. There are such people in many large and medium-sized guilds, but there are not too many people who share them in each guild.
Even players who can do critical attacks have to be divided into levels, such as Klis Dena and I. As long as you catch a chance, you can kill one blow. Basically, as long as you see the opportunity and hit it, the battle will probably end. However, after all, we are one or two on the combat power list. Most players cannot do such things. Therefore, in the draw, the so-called players who can do critical attacks can occasionally hit one or two times to greatly reduce the combat power and health of the monster. In the end, they still have to use the method of exhaustion to slowly grind the bss to death.
In view of the above reasons, all players will definitely try to use the key attack to cause as high damage as possible to the monsters as possible as possible. I was unable to do this stably before level 800. However, after that, basically as long as it is not a powerful person familiar with the world's names, or a hidden super bss, I can basically easily use a single move for a bss level or a small bss. This is not entirely because of my high attack power, mainly because I can hit the key every time. Otherwise, with the super vitality of those monsters, even with my attack power, it is impossible to kill them without dozens of effective hits.
However, the current situation can be said to be terrible. Kris Dena and I are only two inches tall. The attacks emitted with this volume cannot be effective in any case. Even if we hit the heart or throat, with the length of the weapon in our hands, we will definitely not be able to penetrate the real key. A needle hole that is several millimeters deep in the enemy's throat is impossible to kill people. Let's talk about it... Can anyone tell me where the spider's throat and heart are soaring respectively?
If you cannot conduct a critical attack, you can only waste the vitality of this monster...
"Where is that thing?" Since it is already a war, there is no need to hide. I directly began to ask the Queen of Little People's Kingdom where the spider monster was going, because we have not seen the monster that should have appeared here until now.
The Queen of the Lilliput Kingdom was also very confused about our problem, because according to the regular draw, after we enter this range, we don’t need to look for it, and that thing will run out on its own initiative
"It's strange! That monster always pops out on his own right away. What's going on today?" The mage who was following the queen said in confusion.
While we were wondering where the monster had gone, we suddenly heard a very harsh scream in front of us. This sounded a bit like a pig's cry. Of course, it was not the satisfied humming sound made by the pig when it was eaten, but similar to the screaming sound made by the pig when it was killed. However, this was not the whole sound. At the same time as I just heard the scream, another sound similar to a roar sounded immediately.
"Is this..." Kris Dena suddenly frowned after listening for a while, asking: "How many monsters are there?"
The Queen of Little Man Kingdom said uncertainly: "Because there should be only one spider monster who has passed by us for more than ten thousand times. I have never found a creature other than that spider monster."
"Didn't you find this?" I said to the children around me: "Wait here and don't move, what's wrong with me?" After that, I summoned the bird and jumped up without waiting for the children to answer. Kris Dina quickly grabbed my arm and jumped up. The bird immediately accelerated and shot away, and flew directly in the direction of the sound. However, before we had time to fly far, the monster opposite appeared first.
After a wave of sand and stones, the cave in front seemed to be blasted in a direction. A large mass of gravel flew out with a large amount of dust. Behind these things, two entangled figures were followed by these two figures, but before they landed, they immediately separated in the air and turned into two individuals. At this time, we finally saw clearly what the flying thing was.
There are two creatures that have just appeared, and the one with the one that is facing us is a relatively common giant spider. Although I don’t know what kind of monster this is, this kind of monster of similar shape is a very common type in the game. Moreover, they basically belong to a subspecies of a known monster population. If nothing unexpected happens, the spider monster with the back to us should be the creature that the Queen of the Little People said before that they often encountered before. As for the other one...
To be honest, I don't know what kind of creature this is, first of all, the appearance of this thing is completely different from the things on Earth. Although the creatures in the game are all kinds of strange things, of course, there are also some very strange creatures, but this one in front of me is still a very rare creature.
First of all, this creature is not much smaller than that spider monster in size, at least the size of a miniature family car. In addition, this guy has a very special body structure. It has a main torso similar to peanuts, which is the type of big and thin structure in the middle. However, because the sizes of these two ends are basically the same, it is impossible to tell which of the two ends is the head and which is the tail.
There are a total of sixteen pairs of limbs growing on this strange peanut-shaped torso, that is, there are thirty-two stretched moving parts. However, these moving parts do not grow neatly under the body like centipede legs, but are distributed randomly in all directions on the biological body without any regularity.
In addition to these limbs with strange growth positions, their limb structure is also very strange. The limbs of this thing are not the kind of arthropods, but are similar to the structure of amphibians, that is, a structure closer to our mammals. Each limb is composed of three joints, and has a large range of movement. It grows at the tip of the limb foot, but the structure of the soles is very similar to the soles of the frog. Not only does it have knuckle distribution, but there are also webs in it.
Based on the existence of this flipper, it can be judged that this creature can mostly perform underwater movement, and in fact its skin also illustrates this point, because its skin looks similar to a frog, it seems to be a slippery skin with mucus, and there are also a lot of yellow and green spots on the surface of this skin, which looks a little nauseous.
If the above structures are just the above, the shape of this creature can only be said to be strange, but if the characteristic of not finding other organs is added, it is really strange. In fact, not only can the head and tail of this creature not only be able to distinguish the head and tail, but also the eyes, ears, mouth and nose are not visible. It can be said that this creature cannot find the two existences that a creature needs most - the feeding mouth and the excretion mouth
No matter what kind of organism, unless you can perform photosynthesis like plants, or simply perform cellular core reactions, you need to absorb energy from the outside. If you want to absorb energy from the outside, then the most basic thing is to intake energy matter, that is, the mouth in the common sense. Of course, if it is a silicon-based living body, it is enough to have a power interface. But the problem is that the current situation is obviously a carbon-based organism, so this thing must be eaten. However, we can't find anything that can be considered an oral cavity on this thing, and even its skin looks completely sealed, and there is no gap or opening at all.
We really don't want to encounter this kind of weird creature, because all this irregular creature is almost without weakness. Although the creatures on the earth look different, they still have a lot of common things in the evolution process. Most of the monsters in the game are imagined and expanded based on the existing creatures on the earth. Therefore, even if those monsters are weird, they can usually find the approximate key position, but this creature doesn't even know where the head is. How do you think you should find the key?
"What about a strange creature!" Kris Dena said, looking at the unknown creature that fell on the ground in front of her and said
I originally wanted to say something to Kris Dena, but suddenly I saw the unknown creature over there suddenly lifted his body up a little. Seeing that it seemed to be about to jump in this position, I made a quick decision and pressed Kris Dena back to Feibi's back, and then ordered Feibi to turn to escape at the maximum speed.
The facts proved that my decision was not correct. The unknown creature actually jumped up while we turned. At the same time, at least three long legs stretched towards us. The guy's foot structure was similar to a frog, but his finger bones seemed to be more flexible, and he obviously had the ability to grasp. However, the speed and flexibility of the bird were not covered. After the body size was reduced, the thrust-weight ratio increased. As a result, our speed did not decrease but increased, and it broke away from the guy's attack range.
While the unknown creature here failed to launch a surprise attack on us, the spider monster there also started to move at the same time. However, its target was not us, but the unknown creature in front of him suddenly jumped over in the direction of the unknown creature, and a spider silk shot out directly in the air. Then a real version of Spider-Man was staged, directly using the spider silk to stick to the top of the cave, and then swung over like a man of the ape Tarzan.
Because it was the next step to jump, the spider monster had completely grasped the movement trajectory of the unknown creature over there, so he threw it to the ground immediately. However, the unknown creature did not surrender after being pounced from the air. Instead, he used his advantage of many legs to step on the spider monster and kicked it. Although he had no claws, the limbs and feet of this unknown creature were obviously not strong enough. The spider monster had obviously successfully pressed the unknown creature to the ground, but could not launch the last attack.
The last blow of the spider monster was obviously its poisonous fangs or thorns on its tail, but both of them were growing on its torso, and they were relatively short. They needed their body to get close to unknown creatures to launch an attack. However, the resistance of unknown creatures made the spider monster unable to get his body close to it, so the poisonous fangs and thorns were not used. They could only rely on their eight sharp sword feet to cut this unknown creature. However, this sword foot, which could cause great damage to the enemy, became a useless prop, because the skin on the surface of this unknown creature was not only very elastic, but also extremely tough. What's more, the layer of mucus on the skin of this thing was actually very slippery. The spider monster had his sword foot stuck on the body of this unknown creature and could not stab it in at all. As long as he tried a little force, he would slip. There was no way to hold a guy.
"What should we do now?" Seeing the two monsters over there in a stalemate, Kris Dyna asked me what to do
I looked at the monsters over there and started to feel a little embarrassed to tell the truth. From a rational point of view, I actually prefer to kill the spider monster first. The reason for this view is mainly because the attack on the spider monster just now has fully proved that this unknown creature is actually not as good as this spider monster in terms of mobile warfare. In other words, this creature simply has a lower combat power than the spider monster. However, although rationally, I think it should be done, but from my emotional and sixth sense, I feel that I should kill the unknown creature first.
I can understand the emotional judgment that because the shape of this creature is too strange, it has an impact on my biological instinct, so instinctively dislike this shape, so I can eliminate it directly, but the attacking impulse on the sixth sense made me a little confused.
It is said that my sixth sense is still very strong, but that is in reality. Although I often make correct judgments in the game, it is the result of reasonable predictions, not the sixth sense, but now I really feel that this creature should be eliminated immediately.
Although I can't figure out why I have such an idea, since I've already thought so, I'll do it just like this anyway, the order of order should not have much impact on the entire situation.
After making up my mind, I immediately took Klis Dena to fly towards the two fighting monsters, but Klis Dena immediately stood up from the bird's back after we completed the turn, then spread her wings behind her, and her feet gently lit her back, and her body immediately took off from the bird's back due to air resistance.
Without Kris Dena on the bird, my concerns were gone, and I directly allowed the bird to accelerate forward. At the same time, I stood up from the bird's back, but instead of jumping down, I inserted my feet into the groove on the bird's back to fix it. In this way, I would not be thrown off without both hands. I could stand on the bird's back while fighting.
After confirming that I was fixed, the bird's speed suddenly increased. I turned the eternal in my hand into a long sword that was more than ten times the length of my body. Then I put the long sword across the side of my body, directed the bird to rush up and flew over to the side of the unknown creature's body.
Because I have always put the blade of eternal change across there. When the bird flew over the unknown creature, Eternal naturally cuts it from the guy's body and is different from the spider monster's futile attack. Eternal will not be unable to cut in because the other party's skin is tough. It is not a simple matter to let eternal slip. You have corresponding laws. After all, eternal is a law-like weapon, and it is not something that can be carried by any means.
Because our speed is super fast, when Fei Bi and I cut the side of the unknown creature's body and left the attack range, the unknown creature began to scream violently. At the same time, a long thin line gradually appeared on its skin, and then the fluorescent green mucus began to flow out of the thin line. During this period, the god child also had some small particles that looked like a glowing light card.
It was obvious that my attack just now made this guy bleed, and the wound was very huge. However, what surprised me was that I thought I would take advantage of the victory to chase and kill the spider monster that was unknown. After the unknown creature was injured, he gave up the attack. Then he jumped back several times and hid in the corner of the wall there.
"Damn! It's so troublesome!" Seeing this situation, I didn't know what was going on, so I didn't hesitate at all and shouted to Klissidna: "Klissidna, all-round shield!"
Kris Dena's battlefield intuition is very good, so she actually started preparing before I called it out, thanks to Kris Dena's high reaction speed. Just after Kris Dena completed the magic, a light blue light shield wrapped the unknown creature in it, the creature suddenly began to expand, as if it was pouring some acid on the surface of the object, and the object began to dissolve and bubble at the same time. However, this unknown creature did not dissolve in the process, but simply produced a lot of blister-like things, and these things were stacked up layer by layer. In the end, the entire unknown creature's body completely turned into a huge sarcoma, and it felt like a huge meat bubble tissue accumulated from piles of small pieces of meat. It seemed that the more disgusting it was, it was as nauseating as it was.
Just after this disgusting group of meat gradually grew and finally expanded to seven or eight times the volume of the corpse of unknown creatures, the creature's body finally reached its limit. Then with a loud bang, the thing exploded directly, and all kinds of disgusting organs mixed with mucus were flying around. Fortunately, Kris Dena completed the magic barrier ahead of time, so all the meat pieces that scattered were blocked. Then, because the magic barrier had no adhesion, they slid down to the ground one after another. However, when these things touched the ground, we immediately understood why the spider monster was going to run so far.
After the fragments of the unknown creature were blocked and slid to the ground, all the grounds that were exposed to the mucus or meat immediately began to sink downwards at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, a sound of hissing sound as if cold water touched the burning iron blocks.
Such a terrifying reaction has proved that the corpse of the unknown creature is extremely corrosive. Even the spider monsters there were scared to hide far away. But what strangely made me was that this monster was obviously just cut a hole in my skin, so it wouldn't be so easy to die, right? To say what happened before, of course I didn't think it would be normal to use my attributes to instantly kill a monster. But the problem is that my attributes are only one percent of the usual ones. In this case, the monster in front of me was killed by me with a casual knife. This is strange.
Although unknown creatures died strangely, I didn't care about it. First of all, I think this thing may have consumed most of its health when fighting with the spider monster. On the other hand, it may also be that the monster itself is like a balloon. Once the skin is pierced, it will immediately hang up.
Although it is impossible to prove what caused the death of the unknown creature, the key problem now is not the unknown creature, but the spider monster over there
According to the Queen of Little People's Kingdom, the combat power of this spider monster is not strong. According to their speculation, even if some of my attributes are copied, their soldiers still need tens of thousands of people to join forces to eliminate the monster, and there will be quite huge casualties during this period.
Given the judgment of the Queen of the Lilliput Kingdom, I probably defined this spider monster as a monster of about one thousand, which is not considered a high-level monster in the eyes of ordinary players at present. As long as the player with a level is not too low, they can usually fight monsters of this level by one. However, at present, we are only two inches tall and so big, and we have to fight creatures as big as this car. The difficulty is imagined. Besides, our attributes have been suppressed to only one percent. In this case, we can deal with a monster of one thousand. This difficulty is no less than letting me deal with a monster of five or six thousand in his heyday.
I originally thought so, but what surprised us again was that the spider turned around and ran towards the depths of the cave after the corpse of an unknown creature exploded. At first, Kris Dena and I stared at the other side for fear that the other party was just planning to start the fight in another direction, but who knew that the guy ran over in one breath and lost his shadow this time
"Hey, can Her Majesty the Queen ask what this is like?"
The Queen obviously doesn't know how to explain my question, but the mage beside her carefully inferred that it might be because of the exploded corpse
I originally suspected that the body of the unknown creature was very problematic. Now when I heard the other party say this, I just took this opportunity to run over and study it. Of course, while we were studying this thing, the soldiers of the Lilliput Kingdom cannot be idle. They have to be responsible for cutting off the spider silk to clear out a passage for us to go out.
The inspection of the corpse of unknown creatures was very fast, because we soon found that this thing was almost impossible to test, because it was evaporating rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye and disappeared completely on the ground. However, before these things were hours, the ground where they were located had already sunk down more than one meter deep due to the existence of these things.
The depth of more than one meter deep is simply a sinkhole for us now, and even with the size of that monster, it can corrode a large pit of one meter deep on the limestone ground, which shows how acidic this guy is.
It was just because the corpse evaporated quickly, so our research could only give up. Fortunately, the soldiers were very fast and a passage had been cleared at this time.
In fact, opening the closed channel of spider silk is not as complicated as imagined. These soldiers from Lilliput Kingdom obviously came out of the spider silk of this spider monster, so they even brought special medicines specifically used to deal with this guy's spider silk. This medicine seems to be able to undergo some chemical reaction with the spider silk. The spider silk originally had sticky and very tough, as long as it touched this thing, it immediately turned into a substance without any stickiness, like a shortcake, without any elasticity. In this case, what the soldiers really had to do was pour the medicine on Zhusi, and then wait a few seconds before going up and tapping it gently.
Using this method, the soldiers could almost push forward at a speed that was not slower than walking, and we quickly passed through the blocked area and reached the outside of the cave.
Outside this cave is indeed a valley. Because the entrance of the cave is relatively high, you can see the situation inside most of the valley from here.
The valley is surrounded by mountains and there are no open exits. I guess there may be no other entrances and exits except the passage we enter. Of course, even if there are other entrances and exits, it is probably something like a secret passage or something like that.
The area of the valley itself is not very large, and the environment is not very complicated. There is a small lake that is not large under the mountain opposite us. There is a large area of green space around this lake. There are basically large areas of forests near the entrance of the cave here. However, the plant density in these forests is not very high, and the trees here are not very tall.
Of course, the so-called not very tall is based on normal standards. According to our current height, these things are no longer a big problem. With our current height of two inches, even short shrubs can be considered big trees. As for plants with a height of more than two meters, they can basically be considered towering trees for us. As for these trees that are generally four or five meters high... they are nothing in normal times, but in our current view, they are almost catching up with the world tree.
"President, do you feel that there is an abnormal fluctuation here?" Kris Dena immediately asked as soon as she left the entrance of the cave.
After hearing the question of Klis Dena, I also frowned and said, "I just discovered that as soon as we entered here, we were locked by something."
"Can you sense being locked?" The Queen of Little Man Kingdom who had been following us suddenly asked.
I turned to her in confusion and asked, "Did those players before don't feel this way?"
The Queen of Little People nodded and said, "You are obviously different from ordinary outsiders. From the beginning, you started everything you did in the Behemoth Canyon. All the results you got were different from those outsiders we met before. Although everyone did different degrees of doing it, their processes were the same. Only the situation on your side was completely chaotic, which was a situation that had never happened before. We don't even know if we should take you to the next step of action."
"Next action?" I looked at the Queen of Little People in confusion and asked, "Are you still responsible for being guides?"
The Queen of Lilliput nodded and said, "We are not only responsible for being your guides, but also need to make final contributions to you according to the ancient covenant. This process may lead to a large number of casualties among our personnel. Of course, because you performed outstandingly in the first level this time, even if we fail all the levels in the next level this time, we will gain much more than the previous gains brought to us by those outsiders."
The explanation of the Queen of the Little Man Kingdom did not help us understand what the task would look like in the future, but instead made us even more confused. After Kris Dena continued to ask, the Queen of the Little Man Kingdom simply asked us not to ask, and we will naturally understand when we get to the place.
With our agreement to ask questions for the first time, the Queen of Lilliput immediately began to command her troops to be divided into two parts, some of which were about 10,000, and the rest were all partly to the second team.
Although the number of troops with this 10,000 people is relatively small, it can be seen that almost all the strongest troops in the entire 500-strong army are here, and the remaining ones are not miscellaneous troops, but they are obviously weaker than these 10,000 people.
After the two teams separated, the Queen of Little People began to command the team of ten thousand people to follow us and continue to move forward, while the huge legion disbanded on the spot and began to run into the forest. Klissidna looked at the troops and asked the Queen of Little People in confusion: "Why are they dispersed? Are you not afraid of monsters attacking?"
The Queen of Little People said with a smile: "From the cave coming out and until the location we are going to, everything here is harmless, so even if they are allowed to act alone now, there will be no danger. On the contrary, it is actually the ones who really need to face danger."
"you?"
"Yes," said the female mage who was following the queen: "We will be responsible for serving as your chess pieces and completing the life and death flag on your behalf. If we pass, you can pass. If we fail, you can only return the same way. Moreover, each of you will have to go through a roulette with only one-third probability. The loser will die here, and the winner will be allowed to leave, and the mission will still be failed."
"You mean we will encounter a chessboard in a while?" I asked in surprise.
The Queen of Little People thought for a while and said, "It's indeed a chessboard, but it's not an ordinary chess piece, but a warrior from our giants as chess pieces. You outsiders are going to act as chess players. Of course, you can also choose to fight yourself, but the outsiders before you have no combat power and are completely sealed, so they didn't choose to end their own chess. And even if you can, I think they won't do that, because if you just play chess off the field, even if you fail, you still have a one-third chance of survival. If you go directly to fight, all the chess pieces on the failed side will be killed so..."
"So cruel!" a child couldn't help but say
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" The leader of the group, who had not spoken, quickly comforted the child, and Kris Dena also turned around and said a few words of comfort to the child.
Seeing them busy coaxing their children, I was thinking about the chessboard and asked about the rules of the chessboard. The Queen of the Little People knows very well about this chessboard, because these guys who call themselves giants have sacrificed at least tens of thousands of warriors on this chessboard.
Based on the explanation of the arrangement and rules of the chessboard by the Queen of the Lilliput Kingdom and the mages around me, I gradually began to understand the general situation of the chessboard.
First of all, we can be sure that this is not any kind of battle flag-type tabletop game we can see normally, because its rules have no similarities with the games we know, in fact, I think the rules of this chessboard are more like putting a war on a miniature sand table and feeling like it is like a real-time strategy game in the past has been materialized. Of course, this game does not need to build things with speed. The requirements for chess players are only the level of your command ability.
However, although this board requires players to play chess next to you, your chess skills actually have a huge impact on this battle situation, because the chess pieces on this board are not dead objects, but living chess pieces used by us are these warriors from the Lilliput Kingdom. The opponent's chess pieces are said to be different every time, changing all the time, and there is no rule to follow. There is not even a fixed number of quantity and overall combat power. Anyway, it basically depends on luck. Sometimes, the luck is good, and the opponent will only send a small number of low-level units. Sometimes, if you are not lucky, you will encounter a large group of high-level creatures.
To be continued...
