.Chapter 42: The Heaven-defying Bodyguard Group

Darkness and mystery are the main elements that fill the underground world.

Looking around, in the huge underground space, except for a few low-light plants that can emit faint fluorescence, most of the places are just as dark as a dangerous fog~

Coupled with the twists and turns of hard-to-find roads and rugged natural landforms, this place can be described as a desperate situation for adventurers and a hell for alien creatures.

It has been almost seven months since the game was launched in public beta. Players who have grown rapidly in strength have traveled to many places in the above world with their increasingly powerful strength and increasingly sophisticated equipment.

Although more areas have only been visited by a very small number of people, they have been visited by players after all.

Compared with the dangerous areas spread out in the open on land, the vast and complex underground world is much more terrifying.

The first thing that must be overcome is the dark environment here~

Over thousands of years, the creatures in the underground city have long had developed infrared vision or dark vision, so this environment will not be a problem for them. On the contrary, this place will be an excellent place for them to shelter.

Because relying on such an environment, as long as the creatures can better understand how to protect themselves from outsiders, then the dark blade handed out from the blind corner is enough to destroy many stronger people.

Therefore, compared with many dangerous places on the ground where terrifying beings are entrenched, the most terrifying thing about the underground world is the ubiquitous sneak attacks in the wild.

No, it's just a sneak attack~

The countless monsters hidden in this underground world are all masters of sneak attacks, and the continuous attacks and kills are enough to make any opponent who is blind here experience the "pleasure of being ravaged."

And if you want to light a torch or use lighting magic...

It's not impossible, but soon you will be surrounded by countless monsters that hate the light. Their number and strength depend on your luck~ If an ignorant person accidentally breaks into the Manticore, Minotaur, Medusa, etc.

If they were on their own territory, their experiences would be very deplorable~

Therefore, except for the local players in the dungeon camp and a small number of ghost players.

So far, the underground world is still an unknown "virgin land" for most players.

And because the player bases of the two races in dungeons and ghosts are not very large (young girls don’t want to choose such an unpopular race, many wolf men have followed suit, such as humans, elves, and towers), so

There are even fewer "explorers"~

And the pattern of the underground world is so strange and complex that no one knows yet how many unknown secrets are hidden behind those layers of darkness...

For Liu Yifei and the other three, this darkness is not a big problem. After all, one of the three of them has dark vision and two have soul vision. They can penetrate ordinary darkness. They only see what they see after switching their fields of vision.

Very different from usual~

For example, dark vision only has an obvious response to heat sources. All other things are either black, cyan, or gray-white. Large irregular color blocks fill the dark witch's vision, which really makes her feel uncomfortable.

Love this darkness.

The soul vision of Liu Yifei and the little assassin is slightly better~

It is more accurate to grasp the surrounding details, but occasionally some monsters similar to fire elements or earth elements will appear in the underground world. When this happens, it will be a pain in the ass~

Because these creatures will not be reflected by the soul vision into the image of soul life forms that are constantly floating around, they will only be like ordinary landscape stone pillars. If the monsters are smart enough to stay still, they may even encounter Liu Yifei and Xiao Xiao.

The funny situation where the assassin bumped directly into them~

The three of them cooperated with each other, but it was almost smooth.

The "three people" hurried on quietly. Just in case, Xue Lan summoned a little ghost and put it ahead to explore the road. For this kind of dark creature, this place is home, so nothing can escape.

Although their eyes are of low strength, they may attack elite monsters above level 50, but they are not suitable for use as pathfinders.

Just in case, the chats of the three-person team are all done through text in the channel. Even on the most boring journey, chatting with each other can still eliminate a lot of boredom.

"...Oops~ Brother Yun, you're right. After I logged off last night, Huang Quan's pig-head annoyed me for at least half an hour. He kept complaining about me and deceived me. He almost annoyed me to death. I was really annoyed at that time.

I even want to throw away the video device."

The little assassin complained bitterly in the channel about the inhumane mental torture that classmate Huang Quan inflicted on him after he was offline last night.

"You deserve it~ Who asked you to lie to her? You should have thought of it~"

"I am the one who annoys her~ But I didn't expect that she could be so annoying. I really lost to her... Hey, by the way, Brother Yun, there is really King Toradre around us...

For your elite? I really don’t feel anything at all. We won’t get separated, right?”

"Shit, you crow mouth, you can't throw it away even if you lose it. The order they received is to follow me and ensure my safety. Before meeting the final mission target, they are all my bodyguards. Maybe they get separated?"

But you probably really can’t see it~

No way, I didn't expect Toradre to be so generous this time. To be honest, I guess our journey will be quite boring. It seems that the strength of his subordinates is too strong and it is very distressing. I want to make some money.

No experience..."

This time it was Liu Yifei's turn to complain.

Liu Yifei never expected that it would be a "sneak attack" that was sure to kill him, but Toradre was really willing to spend the money and actually gave him a whole regiment (50) of sixth-level underworld killers.

The underworld killer

Not a low-level product like a skeleton warrior, nor a mid-to-low-level product like a black warrior, but a true sixth-level capped-down underworld killer.

Liu Yifei knew more or less about this series of creatures~

During the closed beta, he accidentally got a "dark warrior". Later, after the public beta, when he was still developing on the strategic map, Liu Yifei had already trained a small group of dark warriors.

Therefore, Liu Yifei is quite familiar with the changes before the sixth level of the two branches of warriors and knights (please check the specific strategic attributes in the relevant works, they have been posted long ago, and they are still very strong).

The dark warrior Liu Yifei got by accident during the internal beta test once made Liu Yifei amazed because such a cutting-edge weapon would be permanently in a shadow state.

This state does not allow the dark warriors to truly disappear without a trace like assassin players entering the stealth state, but it does make their form extremely faded and appear translucent. If you don't look carefully, you will think it is a piece of smoke.

, or a small unknown shadow or something like that.

But if the dark warriors are allowed to stand in the dark or in the shadows, then they will truly become "invisible"

Liu Yifei has heard about several subsequent changes of the Dark Warrior. They seem to be called the Dark Warrior, the Dark Warrior, etc., but they have only heard about it. If you want to see this kind of cutting-edge combat power, you will not be able to see it unless there is a very special one like the one from Dickwell.

Otherwise, players may just have to slowly get over it on their own.

However, even Liu Yifei had never heard of the "Underworld Killer", a sixth-level supreme creature. If Toradre hadn't given it to him this time, Liu Yifei might not have thought that there could be such a powerful "mercenary".

"

Strictly speaking, these guys are still mercenaries, but Liu Yifei feels that in terms of "absolute strength", none of them is worse than a spiritual-level strongman. The only difference is that these creatures are probably just "soldiers". Although they are powerful,

Still just a killing machine on the battlefield~

They do not have the intelligence as high as true spiritual powerhouses and do not have soul authority, so they cannot learn any academic skills. The skills they master are all talents or directly given by the system.

In fact, strictly speaking, the most essential difference between intelligent NPCs and low-level mercenaries in the game is whether they can master various academics and whether they can study out of their own will. Mastering more academics is the most essential difference.

If we put aside the corresponding increase in intelligence and academics, just in terms of basic attributes, health bar thickness, etc., anyway, Liu Yifei feels that any of the underworld killers in his current group are stronger than his Bol and Milank.

North and his ilk.

Perhaps the only one stronger than them in Plague City is Gregory...

It has the strength to be infinitely close to the spiritual level, but it is more "obedient" than any spiritual level existence.

For such a regiment to be armed, Liu Yifei couldn't help but want to use all his belongings to exchange it.

And Toradre actually gave it to him to "send death"... To be honest, after confirming the strength of this group of mercenaries, Liu Yifei really doubted whether the old vampire's head was giving up.

Clamped......

After determining the "value" of these powerful mercenaries, Liu Yifei immediately began to figure out various plans to gain more benefits from the opponent~

For example: beat the spiritual boss that someone unlucky enough to encounter along the way to half death, and then let the three of you have the final touch~

For example: The lair of a certain boss was raided, and everyone went in to loot it~

If it can be done like this, then this mission is really a "fat job". For this reason, Liu Yifei even planned to launch a sneak attack on several small and medium-sized underground cities, and simply kill all the NPC city owners inside.

Get rid of it

Even a medium-sized city lord with legendary strength cannot escape unscathed if he is suddenly besieged by fifty extremely powerful "underworld killers", right?

And if Liu Yifei really kills a city lord, the profits he will make will be enough to eat him to death~

Unfortunately, as they gradually went deeper into the underground world, Liu Yifei soon realized a problem

That is

Under the system rules, these guys are mercenaries, but not summoned creatures...

The advantage of summoning creatures is that killing monsters does not steal experience, so the income belongs to the summoner. Summoning creatures will only affect the explosion rate and reduce the quality of the items produced.

And the mercenaries are blind~

The experience of killing monsters is all the same. At most, lords or generals can only team up with them to kill together, and the effect of teaming up is the same as teaming up with players, and it will also affect the explosion rate~

The problem Liu Yifei is encountering now is...

Any non-friendly creature that appears within the attack range of his "bodyguard" will be instantly killed by the opponent's sword.

It’s not because the mission was specially designed this way. I’ve been fighting all the way till now, and I’ve been walking for more than a day. There are not even ten thousand but eight thousand monsters that have been hacked to death on the way. Actually, not even a hair has fallen out...

Sad, really sad

By now, even the good-tempered Liu Yifei couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Why are these brainless guys so cruel? Why don't you leave some one alive for me to kill?
To be continued...
