Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 205 Sheep being herded

With the appearance of the Candle Keeper, the ten players present naturally turned their eyes to him.

The candle keeper didn't say much. He nodded slightly to everyone and then spoke.

"The fact that you can come here means that you are all the most elite Candle Spirit warriors."

"I don't need to explain the importance of the Broken Core. It is very likely that this important item exists in the next area."

"The Candle Flame has great trust in you, and the other new candle spirits are also placing their hopes on you."

"Go...lighten the darkness ahead."

After the candle keeper finished speaking these words in a calm voice, he nodded slightly to the crowd and his figure gradually disappeared.

A prompt also appeared in everyone's sight.

[This regional war will affect the direction of Zhuxin Island and the future fate of Zhuling, please treat it with caution! ]

[You can open the barrier at any time through the milestone candles here. ]

[Attention, once the barrier created by the power of the spirit candle is opened, it will disappear in three minutes. Candidates, please be prepared before then...]

"It looks very serious..." Shang'an breathed a sigh of relief and was actually a little nervous: "If we fail, won't we be scolded to death by others when we go back?"

After all, this dynamic war is completely different from the previous war with the Wage Takers, and there are only ten spots available for this regional war.

If we lost last time, at least there would be a bunch of people to take the blame, but if we lose this time...

"Go to hell." Hearing this, Li Miao kicked him in frustration: "What are you afraid of? Can you think about the bright side? You're already saying discouraging things before the fight even starts."

"If you dare to shake the morale of the army, you should be beheaded."

"Okay, I agree. I'll carry out the execution." Brother Mangzi smiled and took out a big axe and weighed it. The axe blade was shining coldly.

"No, no, no, I'm just kidding."

"With a powerful enemy at hand, we can't afford to fight among ourselves."

He went ashore and quickly waved his hand and said.

The others couldn't help laughing when they saw this.

With these three people interrupting, the invisible pressure on everyone's shoulders seemed to dissipate a lot.

"Brothers, let's leave the overall command here to Yuan Fang. Is everyone okay?"

Li Miao spoke at this time, and it seemed that he had discussed it with Yuan Fang.

"no problem."

Hearing this, everyone nodded without refutation.

They are all players who are familiar with each other, and their strength is obvious to all.

Li Miao's gaze lingered on the "wax scraps" in the crowd for a moment. When he saw that the other party nodded, he smiled and looked away.

Seeing this, Yuanfang stepped forward and nodded to everyone, then spoke seriously.

"Now, please check your inventory and the number of wax blocks you have..."

"Try to prepare as many disposable wax pills as possible from the Spirit Candle Shop, and also prepare replacements for weapons and equipment..."

Yuanfang's words were straightforward and concise, and there was no wasted time explaining each point, but everyone present followed his instructions seriously.

Seeing this, Rogge, who was hiding in the dark, nodded secretly.

Although these players usually look very unreliable, they are still relatively reliable in situations that affect the overall situation...

That's right.

The player with the ID "Wax Scraps" is not some emerging newcomer, but the player alias of Rogue.

Although a powerful entity will suffer from rejection, if only a small number of spiritual connections enter, the rejection will naturally be much smaller.

The current amount of wax oil is still sufficient, and the importance of the Broken Core is self-evident, so Rogue can also support the actions of this player vest.

If you encounter any special situation, he can also provide help in the first time...

Of course, this refers to the interference of the main body.

The strength of the current player's vest is not very high, and because it is controlled from a long distance, there is some "delay", which greatly affects the performance.

And the consumption is not small, it's just as important as now that we can play like this...

Just as Roger was thinking.

The other nine players also completed their preparations.

Seeing this from afar, he went straight to the milestone spirit candle and opened the surrounding barriers.

[The barrier is about to disappear...]

A time countdown begins in the prompt bar.

The gray fog around began to dissipate gradually, replaced by darkness.

"Everyone." A deep voice reminded from afar: "Light up the candles for illumination and prepare the spirit fire sails."

Everyone nodded and did as they were told.

"Huh..." Li Miao took a breath and pressed down the visor of the heavy metal helmet. His breathing sound became clear at this moment.

He glanced at Rogue beside him, tightened the Frost Lance in his hand, and spoke in a low voice.

"Don't be nervous, bro."

"Based on my previous gaming experience, there shouldn't be any risks when you first enter the map, so just relax."

"..."

Roger glanced at him and said, "Brother, it seems you are the nervous one, right?"

However, he did not offend Li Miao. After all, the other party meant well, so he smiled and nodded.

But before he could open his mouth, his eyes fixed, and without hesitation, he clenched his empty hands. The fully reinforced execution gloves condensed into a magical sword in an instant, and he swung it fiercely behind him.

The countdown in the prompt bar also returned to zero at this moment, replaced by a rapid and terrifying scream.

【The barrier has disappeared.】

Swish!
The azure sword light flashed in the pitch-black darkness.

With a "puff", three creatures that looked like wolfhounds but had sticky tentacles on their backs were cut in half by the magical sword, and their smelly internal organs fell down along with the blood.

"Ok?"

Before Li Miao could react, he heard a distant sound mixed with the sharp screams of a monster.

"Enemy attack!"

"Hiss——"

At this moment, the dog-shaped tentacle monsters rushed towards the crowd like a tide.

Everyone was startled and raised their weapons, using magic and prayers to quickly fight back.

Rogge swung his sword again to kill another attacking tentacle wolfhound, and with one hand he directly strangled the tentacle wolfhound that tried to attack from behind, strangling the opponent's throat.

"Roar!"

The tentacle wolfhound at hand struggled frantically, and when it realized that it was being controlled, its head exploded directly, and a stream of black and yellow mucus instantly spewed out of its exposed throat.

Rogge tilted his head to avoid it, but he still felt a slight pain in his ears, which was undoubtedly corroded.

Without giving it much thought, he used his magic and combat skills simultaneously, and began to reap the lives of the tentacle wolfhounds one by one cleanly and neatly.

The other players are not slow either.

Soon, this sudden attack was resolved by everyone.

Although they were caught off guard, fortunately, everyone was the elite among the players, and the distant place had already prepared them.

Therefore, although the response seemed a bit hasty and awkward, fortunately we did not lose our composure.

"Damn it." Wang Dao hugged a zombie and kicked the corpse on the ground, cursing: "What a stupid planner to do such a stupid job, right? What a weird thing, it's so fucking scary." Bu Long, who was about to speak, fell silent again when he saw this.

Buddy, compared to the corpse with tentacles on the ground, it seems that the way you hold the corpse is more terrifying...

Not only is he not deaf, other people are thinking similar things.

But now is obviously not the time to complain.

He quickly glanced around from a distance, not even looking above his head or below his feet.

In the dark night, on a rocky island surrounded by the sea... From the traces on the sand, it can be seen that these monsters must have emerged from the cracks in the rocks...

After confirming that there were no other threats for the time being, he looked at the monster corpse on the ground. Then he frowned slightly and did not speak immediately, as if he was waiting for something.

"By the way, why can't I see any information about these monsters?"

"I don't even know what this thing is called."

The Black Mountain Demon took back the magic bead guarded by the Taurus, kicked the corpse next to him, and frowned.

"Who cares? I'm not going to watch it anyway."

Brother Mangzi was carrying a sledgehammer with a nonchalant look on his face.

After listening to this, Roger remained silent.

I don’t know if it’s because of the broken core, but this place has a great impact on the power of the spirit candle. Operating the vest and maintaining the milestone spirit candle have consumed a lot of his energy.

Therefore, such details as monster information can only be omitted for now.

It just feels a little more hardcore, and it shouldn't have much impact on these elite players.

Li Miao took a look into the distance before he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he set his gaze on Rogge standing beside him.

"Fuck, Brother Jiao, you are really good at hiding your true abilities!"

"I was just wondering why you suddenly took action, but I didn't expect you to react first."

Li Miao was amazed, and at the same time, he looked at the people coming ashore next to him with disdain, and began to scold his son.

"Look, look! This is how a wizard should play. Learn from me. Don't just hide behind me all day. You have no future."

"Get lost!" Shang'an cursed back without hesitation, and then looked at Rogge with admiration: "Brother Jiao, what kind of magic did you use just now? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"Mitreos Shining Sword."

Roger drew his attention back, and without hiding anything, he responded.

It's not like there haven't been any players who have used this magic before. Although it's a bit expensive for a mage, it shouldn't be something that an elite player like me cannot use, right?
"Glowing Sword?!" Upon hearing this, Shangan was a little bit unbelievable: "Can this thing be cast instantly? Like you just did?"

"..."

Roger was silent for a moment after hearing this.

Well, now he knew why he was shocked to come ashore.

For players, no matter whether it is magic, combat skills or prayer, as long as they have learned it, they are basically the same. The only difference is the power.

This is similar to the fighting instinct that they already possess in their candle spirit bodies. It is easy to learn, but the upper limit is not high.

As for Rogue's real situation, there is no need to say more. If he is willing to specialize in one spell, not to mention a faster casting speed, it is not impossible for him to cast multiple spells at once.

The difference between him and the players, to put it simply, is the difference between customized products and assembly line products.

When I was in the main body, I was used to using the customized spells, so when I pinched this vest, I naturally pinched this point on...

So the casting speed seemed to be on, and it was no wonder that people on the shore made a fuss.

However, Rogge was still good at making up stories. He just paused for a moment, scratched his head and laughed.

"Yes, it's the magic given by the Candle Keeper mission."

"Could it be that the radiant sword sold by Master Burton cannot be cast instantly?"

Roger said in pretended surprise.

"Damn it, of course not."

"This spell is among the top three spells available today in terms of power. Its only drawback is that it takes a long time to cast. If it could be cast instantly, the number of melee mages would at least double!"

When he got ashore, he hit his palm with a hammer, regretting that it was not a special skill.

"It turns out it was given as a candle keeper mission."

"Damn, I knew that the old Candle Keeper had some good stuff hidden from us!"

"Instant-cast Radiant Sword won't let us use it, but Master Burton is allowed to sell us a castrated version, and he charges such a high price for it. He is so cruel!"

He went ashore and cursed, speaking unhappily.

“…Hehe, yes…”

Roger responded with a smile.

"I was wondering how you could have fought through all the difficulties and gotten the qualification this time." Li Miao smiled knowingly when he heard that.

No wonder this unknown player could come here with them.

It turns out that he is not only very capable, but also very lucky!

Li Miao has automatically come up with a reasonable explanation in his mind.

Just as Shangwan, who was standing aside, was looking at Rogge with envy and wanted to say something.

Niu Niu shook his bloody hands and stood up.

"Bros."

He had just touched the bodies of all the dead tentacle wolfhounds and didn't feel disgusted at all.

"These monsters are different from the monsters in the dungeon. Their corpses will not disappear."

"And these tentacles on the back may not be part of its body, but more like they grew out of a cyst."

As he spoke, he lifted up a spherical tumor in his hand, which had many tiny blood-colored roots on it, and the top was connected to sticky tentacles.

Niu Niu's appearance, coupled with his bloody posture, makes people feel inexplicably creepy.

At this time, Rogge glanced at Wang Dao, who was holding the zombie and wearing a bloody shirt.

...Why do I feel that this group of players looks more terrifying than the monsters on the ground?
"parasitic?"

Looking at this tumor, Li Miao remembered the strange power in the Corpse Forest copy.

"Let's not do this..." Shang'an's scalp tingled, and he was very resistant: "Now the information panel is gone, and the monster corpses are not gone. It's so hardcore and yet it's so scary."

"Can't you just kill monsters and level up normally?"

"Where are the goblins? Where are the skeletons? Help them..."

These things really look a bit too shabby. Compared with them, the skeletons look pretty and cute.

Besides, this virtual reality game seems so real...

There is a reason why Sister Wo Wo is determined not to play the dungeon anymore...

"Everyone, speed up and explore the situation of this island."

A voice from far away spoke.

"Divide into three groups, communicate using the team channel, and speak at fixed times."

After making some simple arrangements, Yuanfang led Mangzi and Bulong to the center of the island.

Li Miao also pulled Rogge and went ashore to form a group and explore the edge of the island on the left.

Not long after, Rogge discovered something unusual and squatted down, thinking about something.

"It seems that these monsters are not wolfhounds, but sheep being herded..."
