Abnormal paradise

[Tip: Do you choose to continue to challenge the fifth and final test of will - "Courage"? 】

"It's a pity. If there hadn't been that accident and if Duke Thunder hadn't died, we would have had a good chance of challenging the limit."

Chaos Apostle [I haven't thought about the name yet] looked at the old withered tree next to him that looked like a mage, and sighed helplessly: "President, we seem to have no choice but to withdraw."

"well……"

The old tree withered vines sighed with sadness and felt great regret.

Although everyone successfully rescued Aladdin, Duke Thunder was poisoned by Dead Man One with his scorpion tail. In the following competitive events, no players who left the team were encountered, so the lost manpower could not be replenished, and his strength was greatly reduced. I didn't think of a name for the old tree withered vines that hadn't even unlocked its essence. It was a bit difficult to pass the greed test just now. It was difficult to cope with the final test where a three-star legend must be in charge.

"That's all, if one is missing, then one is missing. Others may have the strength to challenge Samsung Legend. The two of us can only rely on the stupid bird to fly first to gain a slim chance of winning."

The Jiugua team led by Gui Zang also had the same view as Kuteng Laoshu, but the difference was that the three of them were certain to pass the test of courage.

"The purpose of the test of courage is mainly to prevent Aladdin from thinking of escaping after seeing the chaos of the giant scorpion tribe. Judging from the paper information alone, this effect is a bit insignificant. In addition, we have already unlocked the essence. , there is no need to risk more than 50% to touch the hard nail of Samsung Legend." Yue Zhaoshui analyzed based on the actual situation.

"You are the task executor, I have no objection." Qifeng Kuyu was more casual.

"But the intelligence also said that the test of courage is also beneficial to the players, and the final coin reward is probably indispensable."

Guizang was hesitant. He was the vice president of Jiu Gua. Even if Yue Zhaoshui was the task executor, he had to obey orders in the end. However, the current situation was really difficult to make a choice. The essence skills of him and Qifeng Kuyu were more focused on fighting against players. If it were Lianshan or other guild members, the clearance rate could be increased to 70%. However, unfortunately, everyone else has tasks to do, and it is not easy to assemble a highly competitive three-person team.

"However, I don't think these rewards are worth risking 50% of the group's annihilation and 90% of losses to take a shot." Yue Zhaoshui argued rationally, "When we are already 80% sure of completing the follow-up steps, I don’t think it’s necessary to pursue perfection. After all, the winning rule is the time it takes to complete the task, not the strength of the player’s team. Instead of wasting time here, it’s better to use a preemptive method to leave others far behind.”

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

Yue Zhaoshui's analysis was reasonable and reasonable. Guizang no longer had any doubts, and he immediately led the team out of the forest and towards the sand sea. However, he still wanted to know what choice he would make if he were his own guild leader faced with this situation. Participants in the meeting What kind of answer would the [lazy person] with the same name give?

"The right time, the right place, the right people, and it's not easy to get everything. Wouldn't it be a pity if we still choose to give up?"

As the name suggests, he is a lazy person. He wears an extremely casual outfit. He wears a short-sleeved vest, flip-flops and large pants. If paired with a teapot and a folding fan, he looks like a retired old man who has accidentally fallen into the game.

"What if someone else takes the lead?" Chunhua Qiuyue, who had met Yu Yan before, asked.

"Don't worry, with the two-star legend summoned by [Torch], and with my [Psychic Card] and [Crimson Cube] fairy tale props, it will not be a problem to kill the three-star legend. After the completion, not only will you get the test reward, but also It allows you and the Crimson Cube to unlock essential abilities, and it’s easy to catch up on lost progress. Anyway, I’m quite curious about what effect Test of Courage will have on players.”

As the leader of the guild, the idle man has the authority to make decisions against all opinions. Chunhua Qiuyue and the Scarlet Cube looked at each other and had no choice but to cooperate with the president.

"By the way, I dare say that even if Guizang and the others unlock the essence ability in advance, they will not challenge the test of courage. They do not have the domineering and decisiveness of Lianshan. As for the old withered tree, I can't tell for the time being, but I want to complete it. For the courage test, you must show the corresponding courage in advance. Haha, the Duke of Thunder is a character. Maybe he can convince the old tree withered vines. If they really get through the courage test, the number one enemy in the monkey mission will no longer be Jiu. Gua’s group of people.”

The lazy man made a confident judgment, but he didn't know that the Withered Vine Old Tree Team was forced to make the same choice as Jiu Gua due to the unfortunate defeat of Duke Thunder. Instead, it was the three Embers who had always been diving underwater. , unanimously decided that it was necessary to carry out the test to the end, and the decision-making process was extremely fast.

"Without further ado, I think a test of courage can be given. Who is in favor of it and who is against it?"

"Seconded."

"Ditto!"

Yan Yan expressed his stance confidently, while Qiu Yinong and Bai Qi confidently followed. Aladdin, a transparent little person, had no power to discuss matters, so the three of them faced the final test of courage in an understatement under the pet monkey Peanut's frightened eyes.

"When you decided to escape from the Giant Scorpion Tribe, you proved one thing..."

The flames around Nina surged and the air flow surged, and the strong hot wind blew away the dead branches and leaves everywhere. She was almost rising from the fire. She looked down at Aladdin with indifferent eyes and said coldly: " You are a complete waste!"

"Get back!"

Immediately aware of the embers that were the source of the danger, he involuntarily pulled the unconscious Aladdin away from the bonfire, and then listened to Nina, who might walk out of the flame image at any time, scolding her in a cold voice: "You know very well that you sneaked back home and regained control of the magic lamp. It can relieve all your worries, but you don’t have the courage to face the Giant Scorpion Vice-Clan. You escape from the Giant Scorpion tribe with a ridiculous hope, hoping that one day the aloof Giant Scorpion Vice-Clan will take care of you, an insignificant person. The villain forgets, but what’s the result?”

"..." Aladdin opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself. He was just an ordinary person. When faced with a life crisis, he would panic and follow blindly, and would do whatever it took to escape death. It was not that he had never thought about risking his life and rushing home, but His natural trust in the leader of the Giant Scorpion made him involuntarily obey the other party's arrangements.

However, the result was that the family was ruined and the giant scorpion princess was also implicated.

"You didn't have the courage to face the giant scorpion deputy clan leader. Oh, you have already died once and are about to die again, can you muster the courage to face him? I don't think so, what about you?"

At this time, the rising bonfire ignited the scene and dispersed the darkness, and even the disintegration fog showed signs of fading.

In Aladdin's dim gaze, Nina stepped out of the flames to reveal her real body. Even though her face was still pale and bloodless, she was able to bring almost substantial suffocating pressure to Ember and others. This was the external manifestation of powerful thoughts, and was captured by Nina's When you look at it with your eyes, you can even feel it clearly.

Without Ember speaking, Bai Qi immediately activated his exploration skills.

Seeing the shared information, Yi Yan frowned and found that the attribute panel of the person in front of him was not much different from Nina's Resentment Body.

…

Name: [Confused Nina] (Level 3/Three-Star Legend/Semi-virtual)

HP: 25000/25000

Skills: Ideology Ability (Main), Fire Ability (Secondary)

Important attributes: Strength 7, Agility 6, Perception 25+6

Introduction: Her father's running away from home cast a shadow on Nina's life, which did not dissipate until her death. What you see now is her on her deathbed, and what you need to do is to use force. Let her no longer be confused... at least don't be pessimistic and think that the story of "the toad eats the swan's meat" can only exist in fairy tales forever. No matter how unrealistic the fantasy is, there may be times when dreams come true.

[Tip: The "semi-virtual" state of "Confused Nina" can be immune to most damage and control abilities. 】

[Tip: Defeating "Confused Nina" can help you deepen your interaction with "Nina" in the flame image in future games. 】

…

Compared to Nina's Resentment Body, the lower-ranked Lost Nina only lacks health and portable items. It has all kinds of thoughts and fire abilities, and even the "semi-virtual" state that Ember is most afraid of is clearly visible. Marked.

However, Ember, who has already experienced victory once, is not too worried about defeating Confused Nina. After all, the strengthening effect of [Fire Demon King] is enough to reduce the fire resistance to a very low limit. Even if it is weakened by the aether, If he can cause considerable damage to him, and cooperate with Qiu Yinong and Bai Qi, it is only a matter of time to kill the three-star legend in front of him.

"We will wait and see. Although the blur effect is a bit difficult to achieve, it only takes a minute or two." Ember made his judgment to the two teammates.

"Okay, if the speed is too slow, I will consider using the [Scorpion Tail Venom Gland]." Qiu Yinong nodded lightly. Although this consumable will also be affected by the blur, it is good to save some time. .

"Hey, isn't it just a semi-virtual? It doesn't seem to be too difficult to deal with." Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, puffing on his pipe, "As the number one exploration player, I have even encountered a lot of virtual monsters. How can I deal with a semi-virtual?" Absolutely no problem.”

"Oh, then I don't need the scorpion tail venom gland."

Qiu Yinong decisively put away the consumable props, but Ember next to him said, "I'm sorry."

"No, shouldn't you express your joy from the bottom of your heart at the difficulty of having a qualified teammate like me? What do you mean by sorry?"

"Uh-huh... According to what you said, as the number one exploration player of my teammates, breaking the virtual state is within my ability and should be done, so I think it is more necessary to apologize for underestimating my teammates."

"..."

Bai Qi shook his head helplessly, thinking that he should show off more in the future, otherwise he would be completely ignored by the two fighting madmen, Yu Yan and Qiu Yinong.

It’s not easy for semi-auxiliary exploration players these days!

In the reverie of the white flag, the confused Nina finally sounded the clarion call for attack. With her eyes flashing with fire, she stared at Aladdin who was dodging his eyes and said coldly: "I hate wastes and cowards, lest you commit suicide." Throw yourself into a trap and let the magic lamp fall into the hands of the giant scorpion deputy leader, why not die here in advance!"

After the words fell, Nina's momentum skyrocketed, and she used her thoughts to inspire the flaming flying knives to shoot towards Aladdin's face. Yi Yan quickly raised the giant scorpion arm shield to resist, so that the flaming flying knives could only "scratch, rub, rub". "It smashed into pieces on the arm shield, leaving some black marks.

With a shield defense of up to 250 points and a shield value of 4,000 points, the sense of security brought by the giant scorpion arm shield to Ember is greatly increased several times. If it is replaced by the insect-headed heavy shield, it will basically face the breaking limit at this time and cannot be blocked at all. The second wave of thought impact allowed Bai Qi to complete the exposure process of breaking the virtualization ability.

Rub rub rub rub!

Click!

As the next batch of flaming flying knives smashed into pieces one after another, Bai Qi successfully pressed the shutter of the Polaroid camera.

So Yu Yan and Qiu Yinong discovered at the same time that the slightly transparent body of confused Nina had become much clearer at this moment, but the images around her were blurred instead, which was different from the weird effect of Xue Yu's [Tail Seal]. The method of sealing the "virtual" state seems to have a completely different principle.

"How is this done?" Yi Yan asked curiously.

"Simply put, it blurs the scenery and highlights the characters." Bai Qi shook the abnormal camera in his hand, "Just think that I transferred Nina's virtual state to the air."

"very good, very powerful!"

Ember admired sincerely, and immediately turned into a pyromaniac without any hesitation, and activated the software clone to kill the confused Nina who was no longer protected by the void.

The three-star legend also realized that his status had been tampered with, and was deeply concerned about the sudden eruption of Ember, so he successively used [Ideology Barrier] and [Ideology Resistance] to set two thresholds for Ember.

However, the former was quickly smashed to pieces by soft bombs and flying crossbows, while the latter was completely unable to affect the twisted incarnation of the genuine virtualization, allowing Ember to successfully break through the obstruction and come to Nina, opening his arms involuntarily. Perform a full-body self-destruction with an 80-fold judgment bonus.

boom! boom!

The two blasts sounded almost at the same time. The confused Nina, who was at the center of the explosion, completely withstood these two violent explosions that caused over 10,000 damage. Even though her fire resistance was still offset somewhat, she still could not avoid the remaining life falling to five. digits or less.

This hurts...

How scary!

Although Qiu Yinong and Bai Qi were in the discussion group, they had heard non-Sword Immortals use exaggerated language to describe how terrifying Ember's incarnation ability was, but only by seeing such a scene with their own eyes can they feel the damage and crushing power of a dominant level. After all, How suffocating and powerless.

This especially hit Qiu Yinong, who was focused on pursuing extreme damage. Looking at Nina, who was as confused as a candle in the wind, she even began to doubt whether she had chosen the right path for improvement?

However, she didn't know that Ember's devotion to pyromania was even greater than her devotion to the Parasitic Crossbow.

The birth of Pyromania alone was based on the [Ability Crystal] of the Reality Warper, and then Ember continued to invest in it, cherishing the rare object [Heart of Fire Demon], the [Incarnation Stone] as the final reward of the hidden mission, and obtaining The alloy-reinforced [Active Software Biochemical Suit], multiple [Fusion Tree Fruits (Stable)], two [Evolution Reagents], and the fire energy obtained from defeating Nina's Resentment Body.

If these resources are taken apart individually, they are basically enough to get the essence rating. However, Ember puts them all into the twisted incarnation. Therefore, if there is a higher rating above the essence, then the incarnation-type twisted ability [Pyromania] must be among them. .

All of this makes the battle of the twisted incarnation tend to be simple and crude, but only Ember knows how much he has paid for it.

After waiting for eight seconds, [Reserved Self-Destruction] and [Software Clone] completed cooling down, and the three-star legendary Confused Nina completely dissipated in the explosion.

However, unlike Nina's body of resentment, confused Nina showed a relieved smile at the corner of her mouth at the moment of defeat.
