Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 280
Chapter 280 Reunite
When the Steel Castle ambushed heaven, By focusing all his attention on Instant Heaven, Xu You didn’t feel anything special about the Calamity Legion. When he returned to the west gate of Sunrise City with the Return Tool, he died too quickly. He was playing the role of soy sauce. As such, it was only now that he followed Daniu to the frontlines that Xu You could fully feel the atmosphere of short soldiers handing over and fighting. Although the Sky Calamity Legion was suppressed by the NPC army, Xu You was extremely impressed by the vanguard soldiers who fought against the NPC guards!
These soldiers, hailed by Daniel as the second wave of the Calamity Legion’s cannon fodder, He wore a dark gray armor that covered his sturdy body. His helmet was very similar to the ancient Roman helmet. It was shaped like a chicken crown. Under the helmet, there was only a pair of dark black pupils. Therefore, it was impossible to determine the race of the Death Pioneer Warrior, who was over two meters tall but slightly thinner than the Tauren.
Of course, what impressed Xu You was not the appearance of the Death Pioneer Warrior, It was the way it fought. No one would have thought that this kind of warrior was actually a melee combatant. Its weapon was not a knife or a sword, but a kind of glove with a thorn in it. All kinds of hooks and straight fists were very fancy during the battle. Unfortunately, Xu You could see why these Death Pioneer Warriors had been defeated with a single glance from the scroll.
Vanguard of Death (Silver Elite): Level 60 HP? ? ? ? The dragons.
This humanoid monster was actually a dragon. Unfortunately, its level was a bit lower. It was only a Level 60 Silver Elite. Compared to the Level 80 Silver Elite Guards of Sunrise City, it was not enough. There was a Level 20 gap, so it was only natural. Xu You liked it.
Now that Xu You and Daniel were members of the same order, even if they were in the same team, he would gain experience if Daniel killed the monsters of the Calamity Legion. As for a Level 95 Guardian Knight like Daniel, killing a Level 60 monster was like cutting vegetables.
Within a few minutes of arriving at the frontlines, Xu You discovered that his experience had begun to soar. Moreover, this soaring speed was much faster than when he killed a boss in his cell to level up! Level 60 elite monsters gave him too much experience. Of course, Daniel’s speed in killing monsters was also an important reason.
Along with the NPC army’s massacre-style attack, the Scourge Formation was forced to retreat tens of meters. Those players who followed the NPC began to taste the benefits. They helped output. As long as it was a hit, even if the damage was only two digits or even a single digit, the monster would gain good experience when killed by the NPC. As for hiding behind the NPC to output, there was no danger at all.
This news reached the ears of the players who were quietly observing the changes in the city. It immediately triggered another wave of players. It was a rare opportunity for them to safely gain experience. Therefore, the Sunrise Plains became lively. Of course, the situation outside the other main cities was the same.
“Big brother, Wuhen, where are you? Do you see where I am? Come here!” Xu You also noticed that more players were pouring out of City of Sunrise. They seemed to know that following NPCs was promising! However, this also caused some problems. The monsters weren’t enough to rob them. When more than half of the players in the main city poured out, they could clearly see that there were a lot of players. Therefore, Xu You hurriedly asked his teammates where they were.
“There’s still a long way to go. Your position is too close to the west, right? It’s too far for us to run this way from the south gate.”
“It’s easier to hide by the side. We don’t need to output anything, just hide by the side.”
“So good?” Zhang Ping and Unyielding’s eyes immediately turned into lit light bulbs, shining brightly in all directions.
“You’ll know when you’re happy.”
…
As the NPC army crushed them, the Death Vanguard Warriors of Calamity continued to die like cannon fodder. Soon, there were very few left. Next, the NPC army faced even more advanced and powerful regional lords and disaster mages. This was not something players could get close to. However, the players didn’t know about it, so a tragic situation occurred.
In order to compensate for the experience lost in the first wave of the Calamity, They were desperate to follow behind the NPC army, Plus, players have long ranges and short ranges, Long-ranged players were fine. They didn’t need to get too close to be able to output. However, melee players wanted to output more and gain more experience, so they had no choice but to get closer. In addition, the cannon fodder of the Death Pioneer Warriors didn’t cause any damage to the players. As a result, the players had more or less underestimated the strength of the second wave of Scourge attacks.
When most players entered the range of the Disaster Mage, All of a sudden, the calamity mages attacked in unison. These five-meter-tall monsters raised their hands. Purple light flashed in their hands, and the bright sky instantly became dark clouds. Following that, thunderbolts as thick as flood dragons began to descend. Calamity descended. Players within the range of lightning attacks almost died at the touch of their hands, leaving no corpses behind. It was as if they had evaporated from the world.
“Ah!!!” Miserable screams suddenly filled the entire sunrise plains.
“This, what kind of skill is this? Isn’t it too exaggerated!” A player who had yet to enter the disaster zone was shocked. In just a few seconds, the tens of thousands of players in front of him instantly vanished …
“What are you still waiting for? Quickly retreat!” A nearby player immediately pulled away his stunned companion. This scene was everywhere.
“But experience …”
“What’s there to experience? There’s only a path to death if you go forward. Quickly retreat!” When the players behind saw such a horrible scene, they quickly retreated, fearing that the Disaster Mage’s spells would envelop them.
Of course, there were also some players hiding behind to watch the show who were gloating. They were too late, unable to get close to the Sky Calamity Monster, nor could they gain any experience. They were definitely unhappy in their hearts, but now that they saw what had happened in front of them, their minds were balanced again.
As for Xu You, who was also within the range of the Disaster Mage’s spell, he was standing there with an egg in his cloak. He kept complaining, “Senior Daniu, could you inform me earlier next time? I almost died.” Just now, when dark clouds appeared in the sky, Daniu suddenly shouted for Xu You to open the “Holy Shield Technique”. Xu You’s reaction was fast enough. When he heard the shout, he immediately activated his skill. Only then did he survive.
“Hey, I’m really sorry. Disaster mages like to attack places with a lot of people. I just remembered that you should hide behind them. If you don’t walk 100 meters, you can still gain experience.” Daniu, who was busy fighting against the regional lord, said embarrassedly.
“I told you earlier.” Hearing that, Xu You hurriedly retreated. Right now, the thousand meter long “corridor” behind the NPC army was basically empty. The only remaining players were knights like Xu You who possessed invincible skills and reacted quickly enough. The surviving knights were also retreating.
After retreating to a sufficient distance, Only then did Xu You stop retreating. Then, he turned around and looked at the Daniel and NPCs who were still fighting in front of him. The regional lords they were facing were no longer cannon fodder. This type of undead horses had extremely high HP and defense, and their attacks were accompanied by passive freezing effects. If they were hit, their movement speed and attack speed would be slowed down. For close combat, it was extremely uncomfortable. As the NPC guards were in close combat, the NPC army’s attack was hindered.
As for the Calamity side, with the regional lord standing in front of them as a tank, the Disaster Mage would be able to comfortably act as a turret behind them. The combination of a Level 70 regional lord and a Level 75 Disaster Mage had gradually caused casualties in the NPC legion. The battle might have just begun.
“The NPC Guards are formidable, but they are all warrior-type professions. They don’t have healing or long-range output. This is a disadvantage.” Xu You rubbed his chin as he watched the play. He didn’t know that he was already the one standing at the front of the players.
At this time, Zhang Ping’s surprised voice sounded, “Youyou, you actually didn’t die? That lightning swarm just now was too exaggerated, several thousand meters long!”
“Nonsense,” Xu You replied angrily. “All the Disaster Mages are spellcasting together. Is the range not big? Have you guys come yet?”
“It’s right behind you.” Wei Mingyuan’s laughter came from behind him.
Hearing this, Xu You looked back and saw his teammates standing behind him.
“You guys are here? That’s great.” Xu You let out a knowing smile and swept his gaze over his teammates. Finally, he placed his gaze on Zhao Xi and Qingwu and said warmly, “Xiaoxi, Xiaowu, long time no see.”
Zhao Xi was a little shy. After calling out “Brother Wuyou”, she stopped talking because she wanted to give Qing Wu and Xu You this precious time.
Qingwu didn’t say anything. He just looked at Xu You infatuatedly. The joy and longing in his eyes weren’t obvious to blind people. Xu You was the same. It had been a while since the two lovers met. However, time didn’t dilute this relationship. Instead, it brought their hearts closer together.
Seeing this scene, Xue Wuhen and Wei Mingyuan walked to the side tactfully, giving them some space to be alone.
“Xiaowu, you’ve lost weight. It’s hard to learn?” Xu You walked up to Qing Wu and looked at her somewhat haggard expression as he said in distress.
Hearing this, Qingwu shook his head and didn’t say anything.
“Xiaowu … why aren’t you talking? Are you angry? I know that I’ve let you down over what happened with Chen Chen.” Xu You said shamefully. Although Xue Wuhen had already told Qing Wu about him and Zhao Chen a month ago and Qing Wu did not blame him when she chatted on QQ, Xu You knew that it was a lie. How could Qing Wu not have a trace of complaint and grievance?
However, Qing Wu shook her head and explained in a low voice, “No, I’m just too happy.”
However, Xu You immediately understood that the reason why Qingwu didn’t speak was to cover up his choking voice. What a lovable person. Xu You’s heart felt hot, and he couldn’t help but hug Qingwu into his arms. He used a lot of strength, as if he wanted to rub Qingwu into his body and never separate again.
Qingwu sensed Xu You’s intentions and hugged him. The two of them stopped talking because everything they said was in this embrace.
