【Competition type: Underground world!】

[The opponent invites you to the personal battle mode. Do you want to accept it? 】

no!

Zhao Hao declined the invitation.

He really admires the other person.

He has always shown a purely heroic route, while the other party has a personal route. It is simply shameless to propose such an invitation. If the battle hadn't started now, he would have had the urge to insult the other party.

Minato is shameless!

However, Amaterasu may not care about this kind of thing. Anyway, it is just a casual try. It is best if it succeeds. If it fails, there is no loss.

The competition map is the underground world, a place most suitable for the Shadow Mage profession.

Such bad luck!

Zhao Hao didn't know what to say.

If he hadn't hidden hundreds of millions of hands this time, the car might have overturned on the spot.

And his hidden methods were naturally noticed by the players watching the game who had a "God's perspective".

"Something's not right with Stormbringer's team!"

"In addition to the crossbow vehicle and the supply vehicle, there is also an additional figure."

"According to the rules of the competition, contestants are not allowed to use external force, which means that this figure is regarded as the Stormbringer's combat power!"

"It can't be a military type. 1,000 units of military strength can only be exchanged for 125 units of fourth-level marksmen!"

"Maybe it's a 'humanoid pet'!"

…

Hanyue Rose quickly expressed her guess.

As a top player, she has a keen sense of smell. Plus she knows more information and has guessed a lot of things.

rest area!

"what is that?"

The Rose Knight was extremely curious.

This is not the first time that the opponent has revealed his trump card, but to be able to bring it out now shows that it is more important than the ballista and supply truck.

"The key to victory!"

The King of War expressed his own judgment. Now that he still has a trump card, it means that he did not use his full strength before, so the probability of victory is very high.

“Really looking forward to it!”

Sitting on the bench with his arms folded, the Ice and Snow Bear was as strong as a giant bear with fiery eyes. The stronger he was, the more worthy of his challenge.

At this time, there were only three people left in the rest area.

On the playing field!

"Underground world...?"

Zhao Hao looked at the dim and oppressive space around him, feeling that his field of vision was greatly suppressed. If it weren't for the ubiquitous phosphorus moss, he might have been unable to see even his fingers.

In this environment, long-range attacks are only a few dozen meters away at most.

"You are responsible for warning the other party of approaching!"

He whispered to Freya, who was wearing a cloak and hiding herself.

Yes, his trump card is the opponent.

A giant dragon!

As his pet, it is naturally regarded as part of his combat effectiveness, just like the Rose Knight's mount is part of her combat effectiveness and can be brought into the competition.

Freya nodded slightly!

After receiving the response, Zhao Hao led the sharpshooter to move forward carefully.

Compared to the surface world, the underground world is much more dangerous.

hiss!

Several half-arm-long gray lizards jumped out.

A marksman fell.

Of course he wasn't bitten to death, the lizard's attack power wasn't that strong.

poison!

For creatures in the underground world, poison or special abilities are completely basic operations.

Dark elves are good at poisons because they are forced by life. If they are not proficient in this aspect, they are guaranteed to be defeated in a matter of minutes.

"Gan!"

Zhao Hao cursed lowly, but there was nothing he could do.

Marksmen are surface creatures, and it is normal for them to be a little acclimatized in the underground world.

Amaterasu is definitely searching for herself now!

The greater the initial advantage of taking the personal route is. If the opponent competes with you, the opponent can easily win with one hand, so the opponent does not have many options.

If the terrain is like an arena or a grassland, then with hundreds of units of sharpshooters under his command, he can confidently defeat the opponent head-on.

But in the underground world, it's the other party's turn to have the confidence to deal with it.

First is the upgrade!

The time advantage lies with him. He takes the heroic route and can continuously snowball to improve his own troops.

If the other party also learns from me, they can set off firecrackers to celebrate.

The arms are a drag on it.

With fully long-range troops, coupled with crossbows and supply vehicles, if the terrain is not an underground world, the eradication efficiency will definitely be sky-high.

But in a place like the underground world, it doesn't matter how efficient the battle is, the first thing is to survive.

As you move forward, not only will monsters attack you, but even plants will be in danger.

In just ten minutes, a team of 12 units of sharpshooters was lost, an average of 1 unit per minute, which is simply speechless.

This is also because the marksman is 'too fragile'. If you replace it with a crusader, you are guaranteed not to suffer any losses.

However, after clearing out several waves of guards, Zhao Hao's level increased dozens of levels with a thousand times his experience, allowing him to temporarily upgrade his archery skills to expert level.

The reason for improving archery skills instead of gunnery skills is naturally because facing a shadow mage, the power of long-range attacks is not important.

What matters is whether you can hit or not.

If it can't hit, it's useless no matter how powerful it is.

"careful!"

Suddenly, Freya, who had been following silently, spoke up.

After hearing the reminder, Zhao Hao knew that Amaterasu had arrived.

If there had been no reminder, you might not have noticed anything before being attacked by the other party. Now that there is a reminder, the situation is different.

From the corner of his eye, he looked at the feet of himself and his sharpshooter.

If you are in a well-lit place, you can definitely tell that something is wrong instantly, but in a dim underground world, the difficulty of seeing the problem is completely increased.

That's why he thinks this is the Shadow Mage's home court.

After the team advanced for a certain distance.

Suddenly, a small team of sharpshooters suddenly raised their crossbows and shot at the feet of a sharpshooter next to them.

Whizzing!

Amidst the sound of piercing the air, 24 crossbow arrows shot out towards a group of wriggling shadows like lightning.

What was strange was that the shadow jumped up, avoiding the crossbow arrows, and at the same time, it rushed towards Zhao Hao.

Faced with danger, he did not hesitate to draw his sword and stab...behind him.

Behind him, another blurry figure was stabbed between the eyebrows just as he stood up.

Bo!

The shadow exploded like a balloon.

Tactical roll.

After feeling the stab in the air, Zhao Hao made this life-saving move without thinking at all.

His judgment just now was correct. The shadow rushing towards him was just a feint attack. The real killer move was the shadow behind him. However, before his attack hit, the opponent and the shadow exchanged positions.
