Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 191: Eighteen Warriors vs. King Kong
Although the Priests of Light and the Knights of Light are the most powerful combination in Tianxia, they do not have much advantage in terms of individual strength of their members, especially in the absence of powerful group auxiliary props. Facing neutral players of multiple professions and summoned undead creatures with different functions, their tactics are too rigid and unable to effectively curb the performance of our undead wizards. They can only become more and more passive. As the battle continued, the light side launched several counterattacks but were suppressed by us. We were unable to gain any advantage. Our fighting spirit was high, but we were inferior in skills and powerless. We ultimately could not escape the fate of failure and lost the first rehearsal match of the ultimate battle between light and darkness.
The process may be intense, but it is definitely not exciting. It is basically a pure contest of strength between the top players of the two camps. Without the important highlights of various auxiliary props with different functions and powerful combat power and clever coordinated tactics, its value is naturally discounted. According to the public opinion survey conducted by "Tian Media", most viewers even think that it is not as good as the group finals of Tongxin League and Glory War. Although the Dark Council and the Light Senate both attach great importance to this rehearsal match and have allocated special winning bonuses to stimulate morale and fighting spirit, time is tight and they have not been able to make sufficient preliminary preparations to accumulate props for this rehearsal match. In addition, the specific participants were not finalized until the day before, which is even more disadvantageous for the light professional players who pay special attention to cooperation and rely on props. Only then did our resistance alliance win the final victory without any danger.
With the result of the last event, the "World Hero Conference" was officially declared over. I won the title of "World's No. 1 Master", but the honor of "World's No. 1 Mercenary Group" fell into the bag of glory. The strength of the Church of Light should not be underestimated. We should not underestimate them just because we lost the discounted rehearsal match. After all, the Church of Light and the Resistance Alliance each have 25 members participating in the war, but they only have three artifact holders, five and four artifacts respectively. When they are promoted to level 10 professions and start the real ultimate showdown between light and darkness, at least each participant must have an artifact. For the Church of Light, which is good at cooperation, it should be able to exert stronger strength. This time, the combination of "Angel Robe" and "Eye of Glory" alone has caused us a lot of trouble, and it is difficult to attack them at close range. In addition, the Pope of Light, who is unfathomable in strength and may be the strongest in the human world, is definitely not something that the 25th person on our side can achieve. We need to work harder.
Although the conference is over, the matter is not over yet. As the winners of several events, in addition to the bonus and the upgraded "World Card" level, there are additional rewards waiting for me or us. Of course, in order to really get them, we must first complete the corresponding tasks. According to the principle of group first and individual second, the first to be announced is the additional reward task of the team competition. The three major mercenary groups of Glory, Tongxin League and Fearless, which won the top three groups, are eligible to participate. According to the ranking, different numbers of formal members of the mercenary groups will be selected to participate in the competition for a necessary prop "Prince Order" to be promoted to a super mercenary group. Glory, which won the "No. 1 Mercenary Group in the World", can elect nine people, Tongxin League, which won the runner-up, has six people, and Fearless, which won the third place, has only three participants. Glory, which has half of the participants, naturally has the greatest possibility of winning the "Prince Order".
As a special item with extremely limited quantity in Tianxia, each "Prince Order" is hidden in a specific mercenary group mission. To seize it, not only must the mercenary group meet certain prerequisites, but also must go through many difficult tests. It is very difficult, and no relevant tasks have been opened until now. According to normal procedures, it is impossible for less than 20 players to complete it in a short time. However, because it is a winning reward for the team competition, the difficulty will naturally be reduced, and we will not invest too much manpower, material resources and time for it. Therefore, the complicated process in the middle is omitted. The 18 players selected by our three major mercenary groups will directly face the challenge of the last level, named "18 Warriors Fighting King Kong". As long as the big boss named King Kong is killed, the next "Prince Order" can be dropped. The time limit for completing the task is 24 hours. The location is in a cave. All participants have only one chance. Once they die in the cave, they can no longer return here to continue to participate in the battle. As for the specific environment and the level of the big boss we faced, we were not told clearly. We were just told that if we gave our best, we were not without a chance of winning. It was estimated to be very strong, but it should not be a holy beast, otherwise the eighteen of us, professional level eight players, would not be its opponent at all. It would most likely be a mid-level or even upper-level level ten monster.
In fact, if we want to successfully win the "Prince Order", the big boss King Kong is only one of the difficulties we face. Another one is the threat from within. The eighteen of us come from three major mercenary groups. Glory and our Tongxin League are mortal enemies who are irreconcilable. Naturally, we will not let the other side get the "Prince Order". The neutral Fearless will definitely not easily give up this benefit. To defeat King Kong, the first condition is that our eighteen warriors must cooperate sincerely and fully. Otherwise, if we have selfish motives, it will be more likely to result in a failure and finally be unable to kill King Kong. However, there is only one "Prince Order". Whichever party kills King Kong has the right to pick up the dropped "Prince Order", but they only have this qualification. If everyone is dead , it is naturally impossible to pick up anything. In the face of huge interests, they are not friendly forces, and it is very likely that they will turn against each other and kill each other. This was different from the "Snow Mountain Treasure Hunt" mission - although the team members were hostile to each other, there was no direct conflict of interest, and everyone gained something, and the mission ended peacefully. They had to kill King Kong and fight for the only "Prince Order". There were both external and internal troubles, and no one was sure whether the mission could be completed and which side would get the "Prince Order" in the end.
There is no specific information about the type of monster the Big Boss King Kong is or what abilities it has, which adds a little difficulty to our action. However, judging from the name, it is very likely a monster with strong defense and attack power. In addition, we have to consider the possibility of existence, glory and fearless war. After careful discussion, the Tongxin Alliance selected six people - me, Afeng, Xue Wuxia, Xiaoyue, Yun Wuying and Nan Feiyan as representatives to participate in this mission, using long-range attacks as the main means.
We arrived at the agreed meeting place, which was a teleportation array in a city. When the time came, a special option would be opened for the 18 specific players, and we would be teleported to the place where we would challenge King Kong. The members of Glory and Fearless had also arrived. Glory was still full of light players, with four light phantom knights and five silver-robed bishops led by Supreme Honor and Holy Heaven, while Fearless only had three pitiful people, Fearless Warriors and two Elf Archers. While there was still a little time, the leaders of the three major mercenary groups, Supreme Honor, Snow Wuxia and Fearless Warriors, gathered together for a brief discussion and agreed that before killing King Kong, they would never deliberately preserve their strength or even sabotage each other. Everything would be calculated after the "Prince Order" dropped, and see which side would be lucky enough to snatch it. In this way, no matter how big or small, at least there is a possibility of getting the "Prince Order", so as not to miss the opportunity in vain and get nothing because of their own ulterior motives.
All personnel have arrived, and the time has come. According to the requirements, the eighteen warriors who participated in the mission held hands and stepped into the teleportation array together. The next moment, they appeared in a strange place. This is a special teleportation. We can only use it once. Once we die or leave here through the teleportation array, there will be no such opportunity again. The place where we stand seems to be on a mountain. There is silence all around. On one side is an open area, and on the other side is a towering cliff. There is a big hole not far away. There is a black light curtain with special properties blocking the entrance of the cave. It should be the cave where the big boss King Kong lives. According to the introduction, the black light curtain at the entrance of the cave only allows a maximum of eighteen players to enter at the same time at a fixed time every day. After this period of time, you can only go out but not in, and you must not delay. Moreover, the black light curtain can only allow the player himself to pass through. Pets can only be summoned after arriving inside. You cannot prepare for battle in advance. There is no possibility of opportunism. You can only rely on our real skills to fight the big boss King Kong to the death.
The time allotted to us was very tight. We had to pass through the black light curtain and enter the cave within three minutes. If we exceeded the time limit, it would be closed and we would not be able to enter again, which was equivalent to automatically giving up this opportunity. We didn't dare to delay any longer. We greeted each other and the melee professions took the lead and rushed to the black light curtain. Our magicians and archers lagged behind for a while. The situation in the cave was unknown, so we had to be prepared for any accidents.
After passing through the black light curtain, we appeared in the cave. Compared with the outside, the light was dimmer, but it did not affect our vision much. We were at the entrance of the cave. The Supreme Honor, Fearless Warrior and Afeng who came in first had already spread out and were on guard around. The cave was very wide, with thick and long stone pillars sparsely standing on the ground. At first glance, we did not find any conspicuous monsters. It seems that even if the enemy we are facing is not just the big boss, he should not have too many accomplices.
"Oh!" Before we could observe the situation clearly, a loud roar came from deep within the cave, as if it had sensed an enemy breaking in. It seemed that we would not be given much time to prepare. We dared not delay and summoned out pets, angels or undead one after another. Melee professions were in the front, responsible for intercepting the enemy and protecting the shooters and magicians behind. Everyone took their positions, ready for battle.
I summoned Ebola first, followed by Shaman and Taotao, and then activated the "Touch of Death". While King Kong hadn't appeared yet, I quickly absorbed his spiritual power. The five priests of light in Holy Heaven could only help us heal our injuries and restore our health, but they couldn't selflessly dedicate their spiritual power to me. After a few "Oh Woos", we didn't go over, and the enemy had already taken the initiative to find us. He was covered in black hair, about seven or eight meters tall, with a thick waist and a broad back. He walked upright on his legs, swaying when he walked, and looked like a gorilla.
Such a majestic figure, needless to say, must be the owner of the cave, the big boss King Kong, a tall and long-armed gorilla, strong, strong in both attack and defense. Although not very fast, it should be good at jumping. In addition, a level 10 monster should be able to cast magic. It seems to be more difficult to deal with than we imagined. King Kong has also seen us invaders. Without the slightest hesitation, he roared again and rushed directly towards us. Looking at his fierce and aggressive appearance, he will definitely not show mercy and will not stop until he tears us into pieces.
Since it was made clear that they were going to cooperate sincerely, it was needless to say that the task of testing the opponent's strength naturally fell on Ebola. He teleported behind King Kong and launched an attack with his "elusive" skill. The huge King Kong was unable to avoid it and was hit by all the attacks. However, the several stabs of Ebola's spear did not seem to cause much damage to it. It seemed that it was not affected at all. It swung back with a slap to counterattack. The speed was not slow. Compared with Ebola, it was naturally much worse. It easily dodged and continued to attack. After being hit repeatedly, King Kong acted as if he didn't care at all. He didn't try to deal with Ebola. He kept moving forward and slapped away Ebola like a fly, showing its strong defensive ability.
The Supreme Honor, who activated the "Speed Wing Light Armor", also rushed forward and sent back more accurate information. With him being possessed by the ninth-level upper-level Seraphim and holding a high-level holy spear, he could only hurt King Kong's fur with all his strength. This was destined to be a protracted battle and it was impossible to deal with King Kong in a short time. Yun Wuying and the other four shooters also participated in the attack. They were all sniper shooters, performing "One Arrow Through the Heart" and shooting at King Kong's big head. The damage was not great, but it was a threat to the fragile eyes, and it could also have a harassing effect, making King Kong hesitate to dodge or use his arms to block. Afeng and the Fearless Warrior organized a second line of defense. They stayed in an area about a hundred meters away from Shengtiantang and Xue Wuxia and others, covering them for their magic attacks.
King Kong didn't seem to take us seriously. He simply rushed forward without showing any other means of attack, but he didn't insist on fighting with Ebola and Supreme Honor. He kept rushing towards the area where we were crowded. When he saw us scattered, he rushed towards the four shooters instead. He was far away first and then close. He had well-developed limbs and seemed to be quite smart.
As Xue Wuxia and Sheng Tiantang launched magic attacks, Afeng and Fearless Warrior also joined the battle. The special feature of the "Blood-sucking Spear" is its ability to "suck blood", which can replenish life points by itself and extend the duration of continuous combat. However, in terms of attack power alone, it is not as good as the "Thor's Hammer". When hit, it also has a paralysis effect caused by electric shock. Although the effect on King Kong is not very obvious, it makes it quite uncomfortable. It slaps and stomps on Fearless Warrior, which is obviously more serious than dealing with Supreme Honor and Ibola. Fearless Warrior, the dwarf, is not so agile. It is naturally extremely dangerous to fight with such a big chimpanzee in close combat. It was narrowly avoided several times. Fortunately, Supreme Honor, Afeng, and Angel in the World are trying their best to cover each other, using their own attacks to slow down King Kong's attack speed as much as possible, or weaken the power of the attack. The simple attack method of waving arms and kicking legs cannot pose much threat to us.
Hiding far behind, without being disturbed, I have absorbed enough mental power, but I did not summon Khufu or the six-armed giant magician to fight while I was still in the "blood transformation" state, but chose to summon three white bone dragons. Facing the invincible and unstoppable King Kong, the inconveniently mobile giant magician is a target to be destroyed, unable to escape, and can't play a big role; we are outnumbered, Khufu's "curse barrier" cannot be used, its defense ability is just a small witch compared to King Kong, its attack power is not too strong, and its reaction is not as good as that of top players. It is easy to encounter danger, and I don't know King Kong's background, whether he can use a powerful trick that can kill with one blow. I can die, and even give up the "Prince Order", but I dare not let it take too many risks.
Almost all of our eighteen players threw themselves into the attack, using long-range arrows and magic as well as close-range knights, Seraphim and Bone Dragons, without holding back at all. Such fierce attacks were merely harassment to King Kong, and the continuous hits didn't even leave a deep wound. No wonder we were given twenty-four hours, probably so that we could slowly wear it down.
After waving his hands and kicking his legs for a long time, but still not hurting us, King Kong seemed a little impatient. He suddenly jumped high, hugged a stone pillar not far away, and swung his body, jumping out of the encirclement of the Fearless Warriors, Afeng and others, approaching Xue Wuxia, Sheng Tiantang and other magicians. Ibola, who had the fastest reaction, immediately teleported to intercept, but was suddenly slapped by King Kong. Not only did the attack speed increase a lot, but it also came with a strange force, covering the palm. Under its influence, Ibola's body felt the pressure doubled, and it suddenly became much heavier, which prevented it from dodging in time, and even the "teleportation" could not be activated immediately. It was slapped and blown away.
