C309 Ball Monster
Pah!
The cannonballs hit the rocks and broke into pieces. The cannonball was the size of a fist and it was round. Dongfang Qingyu wanted to pick it up, but the system prompt indicated that it was a system prop. He could not pick it up, so he had to give up.
"You want to pick up a mission prop too? This person must be an idiot." A player in the distance saw Dongfang Qingyu's actions and laughed.
"I think he's a rookie - let's go!" When the players saw Dongfang Qingyu turn around, their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly pulled their team and left. A low voice came from afar along with the wind.
"You idiot, how dare you call him an idiot? Don't take me with you even if you want to die. He's the Eastern King of Killers..."
The sixth stage's mission was to go up the mountain. The time limit was 180 minutes. Dongfang Qingyu had never been to Mount Hua before. He didn't know what Mount Hua looked like, but he guessed that it would be as dangerous as this place.
The peaks of the mountain pierced through the clouds, and a winding path circled around the mountain. It disappeared into the depths. On both sides of the path, there were countless cannons squatting in disorder. Some were dense, some were distant, and they kept firing cannonballs. Those who passed the trial had to go up the mountain within the stipulated time. Otherwise, they would all be deemed as failures.
From time to time, grey light would bloom on half the road, mixed with painful groans. Those were the players who were hit by cannonballs. Those who were lucky were seriously injured, and those who were unlucky were directly killed.
Dongfang Qingyu observed for a while, and then began to go up the mountain. The moment he stepped onto the small road, this meant that the challenge had begun. This kind of terrain was extremely disadvantageous to Mage, especially to a Necromancer like Dongfang Qingyu. The path could only allow one person to pass, and the pet could not resist the attacks from the cannons on both sides. The Mage's defense was low, and it could not defend against the cannonballs like Warrior. Secondly, the Mage's agility was low, so it could not dodge the cannonballs like assassins and thieves. In short, the sixth stage was the same as grabbing onto the weakness of the Mage.
However, Dongfang Qingyu didn't watch for too long like the other Mage. The three big guilds had already passed the sixth stage. All sorts of strategies had been released. It was nothing more than defense and agility. These two points were isolated from the Mage. No matter how long one observed them, they wouldn't be able to make up for these two shortcomings. Therefore, it was better to experience it personally instead of watching it.
The first step was very easy. There was only one cannon. The firing rate of the cannon was one every two seconds. As long as he ran quickly after the cannonball was fired, he would be fine. After that, there was no safe distance of 5 meters from the cannon. Then there were two cannons. The firing rate was the same for 2 seconds. The two cannonballs shot out at the same time, doubling the range of the coverage. Dongfang Qingyu sped up and dashed past the cannons without any injuries. He had advanced ten meters.
Three cannons, two on the left and one on the right. The muzzle was aimed at the small path. Dongfang Qingyu did not stop. He sped up and passed through the moment the cannonballs shot out. The second cannon just brushed past his back and hit the stone wall on the opposite side. The rock was deep and there were numerous cracks on it. Fragments flew everywhere.
The power of the shell was extremely fierce.
"This Mage's speed is really fast!" At the foot of the mountain, there were many observing players. Some of them had just arrived. Some of them had been watching for a long time. The rules were simple, but the difficulty was extremely high. Ordinary players would not dare to try it. After observing it for a while, they would be able to gain some experience from others clearing the stage.
Dongfang Qingyu was only a Mage, and he had just cleared the level. Naturally, there would not be many players paying attention to him. Players paid more attention to those who were about to clear the level, but Dongfang Qingyu's first few steps were too fast. Basically, he did not stop running all the way. This inevitably aroused the curiosity of the players. This was something only Thieves or Assassins could do.
Twenty meters high, four cannons, two on the left and right. Dongfang Qingyu was still accelerating. He passed the first and second cannons and suddenly stopped. If he had not been prepared for this, he would not have been able to go from extreme speed to stillness. The last two cannons were more insidious. The Delay shot out the cannonballs in a few seconds. They brushed past Dongfang Qingyu's chest and shot into the rock wall opposite him. If Dongfang Qingyu did not stop, he would have hit the wall. Dongfang Qingyu waited for the cannonballs to shoot out before he passed through and safely arrived at a height of 30 meters.
Five cannons, three on the left and two on the right. Each cannon fired at a different frequency. One second, one second, five seconds, two seconds. The cannonballs fired by the cannons sometimes collided in midair, producing intense sounds. The cannonballs shot out in all directions, appearing even more chaotic and disorderly.
The players in front of them had to rely on hard resistance to cross this distance. Dongfang Qingyu was a Mage, so he naturally could not take it head-on. Otherwise, if the five cannonballs landed, they would undoubtedly die.
"Resurrection Arts!"
"Resurrection Arts! '"
"'Resurrection Arts! '"
...
Dongfang Qingyu took out his Gold-red Magic Wand, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen pets were revived. Their bodies were covered in golden ants, and they were about the size of an egg. They looked very cute.
"What is this person doing?" Immediately, some players noticed Dongfang Qingyu's actions.
"Don't tell me he wants to attack the turret?" Some players wanted to laugh.
"If that's the case, there will be a show to watch." The other players also laughed. Previously, there were also players who tried to attack the turret. However, when they saw the 10,000 HP on the turret, they couldn't help but laugh. Furthermore, its defense was as high as 520 points. From the foot of the mountain to the peak, there were at least 800 turrets even if there were not 1,000 of them. If they wanted to destroy all the turrets within 180 minutes, even if the turrets didn't fire the cannonballs... There was no hope at all.
The mocking expression on the players' faces quickly turned into shock and disbelief.
"It can't be? What kind of ant is this?"
"So abnormal, it can even bite off metal?"
"This works? Who can tell me the name of the ant?"
...
The players kept exclaiming, attracting the attention of the people nearby to Dongfang Qingyu.
The Gold Devouring Ants were small, but their movements were fast, like a golden light. They crawled and hit the second turret on the left. They were small, and they moved along the mountain wall. The cannonballs could not hit them at all.
The Metal-devouring Ants ate metal, but they did not eat other food. The digestive system was unique, and they had to eat metal every five hours. Otherwise the digestive enzymes in the body will rot and die. Therefore, most of the metal-eating ants had very short lifespans. Because there weren't that many metals for them to eat.
The turret was very large, and the Metal-devouring Ants were very small, even though they were very abnormal. However, it was impossible to finish eating a turret in a short period of time. However, Dongfang Qingyu didn't intend to let the metal-devouring ant eat the cannon. He did not have that much time. The metal-devouring ant only bit a hole under the cannon, causing the angle of the cannon to change. It fired at the cannon on the right. More than ten cannonballs in a row shattered a cannon on the right side.
In less than ten seconds, the gap that the metal-devouring ant had created was bigger. The muzzle of the cannon had completely deviated from the path. The five turrets were equivalent to the remaining three. The difficulty was greatly reduced. Dongfang Qingyu easily passed through and rushed 45 meters away with the ant.
The higher they went, the greater the danger. However, the distance between them became longer and longer. After all, clearing the level was not to kill all of them, but to give the players a chance to live.
The video of Dongfang Qingyu using the Golden Devouring Ant to pass through the cannon was sent to the forum. In an instant, the Golden Devouring Ant's name became famous.
