Apocalyptic Crossover: Starting with a Guide to Winning Over Asuna

The monster on the 21st floor is a Flame Centaur, with a combat power of around 210.

There are two types of this monster: one is a melee centaur wielding a sword and shield.

Another type is the ranged centaur, skilled in archery.

These centaurs can also enchant their weapons with fire, making them even more terrifying in damage.

Shortly after entering the passage, they encountered three centaurs whose weapons and hooves were engulfed in flames, making them look like demons emerging from hell.

"There are three centaurs. Let's take a detour and try to kill any that are alone," Sinon suggested.

"It's okay, my clone and I will each take care of one, and you can take care of one."

Sinon shook her head: "This kind of creature is very powerful. Generally speaking, it takes close cooperation between the adventure team to kill it. What we are doing is too risky."

Lu Xiao immediately took out a sniper rifle.

"My clone will deal with the one on the far left, I'll deal with the one in the middle, and you'll take care of the one on the far right. Any objections?" Lu Xiao's tone carried a hint of command.

Shino sensed that powerful aura and unconsciously agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for your orders."

At this moment, Lu Xiao's clone had already activated Swift Step and quietly arrived behind the Fiery Centaur on the left.

Lu Xiao had already aimed his gun: "Fire!"

As Lu Xiao gave the order, his clone launched a stealth attack, accurately hitting the centaur.

Lu Xiao's bullet had already been fired, and before the centaur could react, it had pierced its head.

Sinon also activated the skill "Dark Shot".

A bullet with armor-piercing properties flew out and pierced the centaur's head as well.

The two attacked simultaneously, instantly killing the three centaurs.

A beam of light emanated from Sinon, and she leveled up to level 18.

"I leveled up!" Sinon said happily.

Lu Xiao glanced at his experience bar; he was almost leveled up.

"So what if we kill him? What's there to be afraid of?" Lu Xiao said.

Sinon: "Luckily, we didn't miss. The worst thing for a sniper is a group of monsters. If I were alone, even if I killed one, I would be chased down by the others. So, we should limit our targets to a maximum of three."

"I think five or six is ​​also acceptable."

"No way!" Shino pouted and stared at Lu Xiao.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you," Lu Xiao said, patting Shino's head.

Suddenly being patted on the head, Shino was startled, and her cheeks flushed.

For some reason, it feels really nice to be patted on the head.

"Are you shy?" Lu Xiao smiled slightly.

"I'm not shy." Shino turned around with a blush, not wanting Lu Xiao to see her shy appearance.

The fact that the usually aloof Shino showed such an expression ignited a desire in Lu Xiao to tease her and see how long she could remain so aloof.

"Alright, let's get going."

Lu Xiao gently patted Shino's back and could feel her body trembling slightly.

Sinon felt as if an electric current was coursing through her body, and the tingling sensation made her ears turn bright red.

"Let's go, Lady Sinon," Lily reminded her from the side.

Shi Nai calmed herself down and quickly caught up with Lu Xiao.

The clones are responsible for close-quarters combat and defending against monster attacks.

Lu Xiao and Shi Nai used sniper rifles to provide long-range fire, a very comfortable combination. They fought and advanced, encountering almost no obstacles along the way.

Finally, Lu Xiao also leveled up, reaching level 15.

Reach level 15 to unlock the exclusive combat skill "Mushroom Swarm".

[Mushroom Swarm]: Summons 15 mushrooms of the same level as the caster to attack enemies, including 5 fire mushrooms, 5 ice mushrooms, and 5 poison mushrooms. The number of mushrooms increases with the caster's level. Duration: 10 minutes. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

This skill is pretty good; it's suitable for dealing with groups of monsters.

A ten-minute duration and a cooldown period are essentially the same as having no cooldown at all.

There were five centaurs ahead, so Lu Xiao decided to try out the skill.

Lu Xiao unleashed a mushroom swarm skill towards the front.

Fifteen one-meter-tall red, green, and blue mushrooms hopped and jumped out of the ground, making "plop plop" sounds, which startled the centaurs.

"Lu Xiao, what kind of skill is this?" Shi Nai asked in confusion.

"You'll see when you see it."

There are 15 level 15 mushrooms in total, each with 120 combat points.

Red mushrooms shoot flames, blue mushrooms launch ice crystals, and green mushrooms spew toxins.

In an instant, the centaur was afflicted with three abnormal statuses.

Fire reduces armor and causes continuous burning, freezing slows you down, and poison causes continuous damage.

There are only five centaurs, but each of them is level 21, so their combat power is undeniable.

They wielded their flame-enchanted weapons and began to slaughter the mushrooms.

After a ten-minute battle, the 15 adorable mushrooms were wiped out by the centaur.

However, only two centaurs survived, and they were on the verge of death due to the abnormal condition.

Is that all? Not yet, because the mushroom swarm's cooldown has just ended.

Lu Xiao summoned the mushroom swarm again.

"Come out, poop!"

Fifteen mushrooms sprang from the ground, and this battle was easy. Under the siege of the mushroom swarm, the two barely alive centaurs were quickly killed.

"We won." Lu Xiao clapped his hands.

Shino looked at him incredulously: "Is this another new skill you've mastered?"

"That's right, what do you think of this skill?"

"That's impressive. Those mushrooms are all level 15, which is equivalent to a mid-level adventure team."

This is surprising. If Sinon knew that the higher the level, the more mushrooms there are, she would probably be even more shocked.

"Set off!"

With the Mushroom Swarm skill, the battle becomes much easier.

The journey was almost entirely unimpeded, and we soon arrived near the final boss.

The gate in front of us was tightly closed, indicating that no one had arrived yet.

"Have those two guilds not arrived yet? I thought they would get to the end of the gate before us." Lu Xiao scratched his head, seemingly overestimating them.

Shina: "Why don't we wait for them? That would be safer."

"Okay, I'll also replenish my magic power while I'm at it."

Lu Xiao sat cross-legged, and his magic power began to recover rapidly.

Half an hour later, Lu Xiao was at full strength.

They still hadn't met those two guilds.

"Let's not wait any longer, let's go inside."

Just then, a voice came from behind.

Lu Xiao turned around and saw Avina leading the members of the Glory Guild to arrive.

However, compared to before, their guild has lost a third of its members.

The members were all covered in dust and their faces were pale.

Avina wasn't in much better shape; her pristine white dress was torn and ripped in many places.

"After overcoming countless hardships, we've finally reached the final stage!"

"Those centaurs are too troublesome. Melee centaurs are manageable, but those crouching at a distance shooting arrows are just infuriating!"

"Yeah, several of our brothers got taken down by ranged centaurs, sigh~"

"Wait, there seems to be someone ahead!"

Only then did everyone notice that Lu Xiao and his group were waiting for them at the entrance to the gate.
