T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 366, Section 365: The Game
The difficulty increases dramatically on the 5th floor.

Jiang Heyi could foresee that a large number of teams would fall behind here.

The only consolation is that you can gain experience from the small monsters.

If the only goal is to survive, and the team completely abandons protecting the mother tree and only farms the units generated in the first 3 rounds, most teams can achieve a no-damage run.

The cycle of scientific pig farming, though incredibly inefficient, is still an excellent strategy for conquering the Tower of Trials world.

Everyone is a swordsman of Shili Slope, and everyone has a promising future. The main theme is "Never underestimate the potential of the young."

The candlelight and the wind had anticipated this scene.

The world of the Chaos Tower truly begins from the fourth floor, and from the fifth floor onwards, the meaning of "chaos" is revealed.

For players, this is the watershed moment.

Top players, second-tier players, and casual players will be selected and each will choose a Tower World strategy plan that suits their own team.

The countdown to the 8th round of unit refresh has ended, and I boldly ventured back into hiding under the covers.

In the thick darkness, a torrential flow of magic startled the bed.

She rushed quickly toward the source of the magical flow and saw a mermaid-like creature radiating a dark red glow.

"The siren, it's the siren!"

She was initially overjoyed, as only one siren had appeared in this round.

Then he was shocked.

In just a few breaths, the siren before them completed the accumulation of magic power, a funnel-shaped vortex formed above its head, and the demonic scales on its chest shimmered.

As soon as one speaks, the power of words instantly takes shape, and the magical power becomes unpredictable.

"There's only one siren, and her incantation has taken shape; it's probably at the ritual level!"

Orange Tea attached all the wind spirits it could summon to Jiang Heyi.

In a flash, Jiang Heyi followed the sound and plunged into the burning forest, leaving everyone behind.

The scenery in my field of vision rushed past, and the whistling wind couldn't keep up with the speed of that instant.

"Glutton!"

As the avatar unfolded, the fear rooted deep within its very essence spread, causing the siren's mouth, poised to unleash its magic, to pause slightly.

A surge of magical power erupted within Jiang Heyi's body.

Unlike Gloria, Gluttony has no option to use a substitute spell, as if it does not have a physical entity that can be summoned.

Each time the Gluttony Avatar is triggered, the player personally transforms into the Gluttony Avatar to fight.

The awe etched deep in the siren's soul, the natural enemy of marine species, caused the stunningly beautiful female siren before her to shrink back. She temporarily canceled the ritual magic aimed at the pale green mother tree and converted it into pure magic.

A deep blue spear materialized in her palm, and like a skilled javelin thrower, she vigorously swung her tail fin, propelling her entire body forward.

The javelin was released and pierced the air, releasing abundant water elements that dissipated in mid-air, forming layers of mist and creating a visual effect similar to the sound barrier.

Everything happens in an instant.

Quick to change moves, accurate to throw, and stable in mana management.

Jiang Heyi, who was locked on, felt his hair stand on end and instinctively held the short knife horizontally in front of his chest.

"Clang~~~" The clear sound of the collision echoed all around, and the two magical forces stirred up a fierce wind.

The blanket that peeked out from the shadows was slapped twice by flying sand and stones, its vision filled with dust, and it quickly retreated back into the shadows.

Jiang Heyi felt a heavy punch to his chest, a dull ache. The spear, though removed from the siren's hand, continued to spin rapidly as if alive.

"Trying to be this powerful, huh? Try mine!" Jiang Heyi gathered his strength and shouted, "Summon the Tide!"

Originating from the finest craftsmanship of the Fallen Star Siren, Jiang Heyi's armor features each plate transformed into a vortex, greedily absorbing the nearby water elemental magic.

The fries and jailer who came to provide support from the rear were momentarily dazed. From their perspective, Jiang Heyi looked like a wicked cultivator from a martial arts novel, using an evil technique to absorb the power of others.

Countless water spouts extended from the armor, piercing the siren's spear like tentacles, devouring its abundant water element.

"My equipment was made by you sirens."

"My incarnation is a special attack against sirens!"

"I also have a siren sticking to me every day, I know you all inside and out!"

As the tides receded, the siren's spear was reduced to the size of a toothpick. The magic and water elements gathered within Jiang Heyi's Tide-Summoning Set had solidified into a light blade over ten meters long in his hand.

With a flick of his wrist, the more than ten-meter-long broadsword fell heavily.

Suppressed by the Glutton's incarnation, the siren had no way to escape and could only watch helplessly as the sea opened its cold embrace to her.

Blood foam burst forth, and the excessive water element scattered and extinguished the nearby fire.

Without needing anyone's help, Jiang Heyi resolved the eighth round of crisis on her own.

“To speak of someone who looks down on the embodiment of gluttony!” He let out a long sigh and proudly surveyed his surroundings.

French Fries couldn't help but purse his lips: "I've said it before, the purpose of the Glutton's incarnation is to prevent the dangerous situation of high-end combat forces becoming sirens."

In the world of Proof of the Stars, there truly exists a so-called dominant life form.

Special races such as dragons, sirens, and vampires possess innate magical affinity, and their talents are unmatched by other races.

This is the essence of the "Dui Zi" (兑子). Although most of the time, the Glutton is just a passive 5-star creature, a ridiculously comical character, its strategic value immediately becomes apparent when it encounters intelligent aquatic creatures such as sirens.

Gloria and Gluttony, the two incarnations, have been activated one after another, determined to seize the fifth layer at the boundary between reality and illusion.

"One shot!" Jiang Heyi shouted.

The game is in its early stages and the momentum is strong. The worst thing you can do is make a mistake and die in one fell swoop.

Most of the time, the best state of mind during the initial exploration is the very first game.

As time goes by, it's not uncommon for the progress of the strategy to fall behind.

Zhifeng chuckled: "They don't seem to have discovered the meaning of 'chaos' yet."

"The more you show, the less room for error you leave for subsequent rounds."

"There are two rounds left. Candlelight, what do you think will happen in the end?"

Candlelight shrugged: "Whatever it is, I believe they can clear it on their first try."

The snow water fried noodles, watching from God's perspective, had a furrowed brow.

Using the power granted by the candlelight, the enamel mug is turning into food.

"Here, a peach, fresh, want a couple?"

Upon noticing his old friend's sharp gaze, the enamel mug quickly asked.

"Oh, so serious, what are you thinking about?"

"I have a feeling that there's something about each round of monster spawns..."

The man who made the fried noodles with snow water paused for a moment, considered his words carefully, and then continued.

"In the first few rounds, they sent out units with weak combat capabilities, which seemed to be in line with the game mechanics. After all, it is a reasonable setting to fight from the bottom to the top and from the weak to the strong."

"But don't you think they might have another function?"

He put a segment of orange into his mouth with the enamel mug: "Speak your mind." "Wolves, slimes, human infantry, gradually test the ability to clear out miscellaneous enemies at the boundary between reality and illusion."

"After collecting enough combat data, in the fourth round, heavy cavalry, known for their mobility, were immediately refreshed and launched simultaneous charges from all directions on the map, making the boundary between the virtual and real worlds impossible to defend against. Cyber ​​Potato was forced to use his Tide Summoning skill to create a water wall to intercept them and resolve this offensive."

"Isn't it because they played well?" The enamel mug continued eating its orange.

“They did manage to hold them off completely, but they also exposed a tactical weakness – an inability to quickly deal with highly mobile units,” Snow Water Fried Noodles said. “Therefore, in the next two rounds…”

The enamel mug was taken aback: "Airdrop."

"Airdrop magician, dragon surprise attack, both are aimed at this point. The boundary between reality and illusion seems to be handled very well each time, but in essence, it is to use strong personal strength and equipment advantages to increase the margin for error and race against time."

"Cyber ​​Potato, as the commander, is well aware of this, and he is playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses."

The enamel mug swallowed hard: "Hey, you mean the units that spawn on the 5th floor aren't fixed, but are adjusted based on the information displayed when the player enters the game?"

Snow Water Fried Noodles nodded: "It's like a game of chess."

"The Shadow Assassins of the 7th round restricted their movement at the boundary between reality and illusion, forcing them to be wary of dangers from the shadows, and they also gathered information about Golia's avatar."

"The siren in the 8th round started with ritual magic, but after being countered, she also received information about the Glutton's incarnation."

"The 9th round... might be a high-burst, high-mobility unit."

"Cyber ​​Potato used magic and avatars to counter the Siren, so it is highly likely that it is a unit that is not afraid of magic."

The enamel mug quickly turned its attention to the scene.

Except for those in their blankets, everyone huddled under the pale green mother tree, nervously watching their surroundings.

The countdown is over.

The werewolves no longer spawn in the dense forest surrounding the mother tree; instead, they descend from the sky.

The creature, about 3 meters tall, has a mysterious and captivating light purple coat. Its smooth, flowing fur reflects a crystalline luster under the firelight.

The vengeful spirit of the jailer collapsed, and a suffocating sense of magical stagnation swept over everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion like a tidal wave.

Those who master magic experience the most noticeable feedback, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

The jailer muttered incredulously, "This guy... can suppress magic?"

Jiang Heyi, Siyuanti, and the prison guard brother all have difficulty mobilizing magic.

In the blink of an eye, the Demon-Suppressing Werewolf nimbly pushed off the ground, and purple lightning instantly reached Zhong Zemo's face, its sharp claws aimed straight for his throat.

"Boom!"

Zhong Zemo instinctively tried to retaliate, and the dull thud of his shield colliding with the claws made him smile, but the next second, his smile vanished.

The Demon-Suppressing Werewolf's two claws joined together to form a palm strike, clamping down on the small round shield from both sides and rubbing it vigorously.

Instead of striking, it chose to clamp down!
The Demon-Suppressing Werewolf, like spinning a top, applied a rotational force to the small round shield.

The terrifying power difference forced Zhong Zemo to abandon his shield; otherwise, his hand would have been twisted into a pretzel in the next second!

The enamel mug stared in disbelief: "This werewolf..."

Snow Water Fried Noodles nodded: "Brother Squid just now demonstrated excellent shield parrying ability. The information was collected, so the generated monsters also gained countermeasures."

Zhong Zemo retreated hastily, his French fries transforming into a streak of red light as he wielded the Angry Lion sword to strike head-on.

A crimson blade flashed through the air, drawing a crescent shape. The sharp energy tore through the werewolf's fluffy, soft fur, leaving a conspicuous bloodstain on its massive hand.

Like an unstoppable demon-suppressing werewolf, its relentless advance finally halted by the fries' bloodthirsty frenzy.

It was like a truly intelligent being; after being injured, it was not angry, but instead leisurely hunched over, maintaining a posture ready to unleash its power at any moment, pacing back and forth in front of everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion.

Her emerald green eyes were full of cunning.

Snow Water Fried Noodles said, "It's dragging its feet. The rule for the 5th layer is that the next round of units will definitely be refreshed every 3 minutes."

"It doesn't need to attack. Once the units generated in the 10th round arrive, they will join forces and the boundary between reality and illusion will surely be broken."

The enamel mug was deeply moved.

"Don't make it sound so mystical. It's not a fully intelligent life form, how could you..."

The Demon-Suppressing Werewolf slowly retreated, leaped high, and landed on a large tree where Jiang Heyi had just fought the sea monster and extinguished the fire. A mocking smile appeared on its lips.

It's as if it's saying, "I'm not in a hurry."

"Damn, just like you said!"

Snow Water Fried Noodles sighed: "We've all been misled. Level 5 seems to be just about protecting the Light Green Mother Tree to pass, but the units generated here will most likely make decisions based on the number of challenges the player has left."

"Players will use up their challenge attempts as soon as they have enough."

"If the player has no more attempts, all units will prioritize executing the command to destroy the mother tree."

Jiang Heyi also figured it all out in a flash.

With only one minute left before the 10th floor refreshes, they have to fight tooth and nail!

He ordered: "The mother tree is irrelevant; kill them first!"

"Don't be wary of those shadows. If you guard against everything, you're guarding against nothing!"

The effects of the Shadow Assassin from Round 7 were still lingering. When the Siren spawned, Jiang Heyi only had Fries and Jailer Bro to assist him. Leaving Tea God and Zhong Zemo alone to guard the Mother Tree might not be enough to stop the opponent's offensive.

The werewolf did not dodge at all. When he discovered that a few martial artists had come out to pursue him from the boundary between the real and the virtual, he leaped up and flew down through the air.

Claws intertwined and danced wildly across his chest, delivering powerful claw strikes from a distance.

The French fry at the forefront neither dodged nor avoided, relying on its acceleration to graz the fierce claw wind, thus getting itself scratched and bleeding.

"Carry the water!"

Jiang Heyi said she was going to fight, so she was going to fight to the very end.

The word "fear" doesn't exist in her gaming dictionary.

Playing FPS games without items or assists, just relentlessly pushing and breaking through enemy lines is nothing new.

If you don't succeed, just lie on the ground and watch.

If you succeed, the opponent will slam their keyboard and slam their mouse in fury, demanding, "How dare she pull out a single enemy and let me kill it instantly? Did she use it?"

She likes to be described as "open," which is the highest praise for a skilled player.

A subtle look of surprise appeared in the werewolf's eyes.

French fries not only did not dodge or avoid the claws, but also pounced on them head-on.

This slender elf seemed indifferent to her own life and the number of challenges she could take, choosing the most illogical tactic of mutual destruction.

"Oh!"

The fries and the werewolf flew backwards in two different directions.

The remnant of the fries' desperate attack was surprisingly powerful, severing its claws with a single strike.

She wasn't much better off; the claws tore her arm apart, leaving her tumbling to the ground like a tattered rag doll.

"Aaaaaah, the number of challenge attempts!" The enamel mug, completely absorbed in the moment, couldn't help but clutch its head.

"No, she's alright!" Xue Shui Chao Mian exclaimed with delight, "Golia's Golden Word spell is still in effect."
