My players are grinding in the end times

Chapter 350 The Strange Eastern Battlefield

Regarding this question, Cheng Shaofeng had to ask Number Zero.

"No. Zero, after the player goes offline, under what circumstances will his clone act on its own?"

[No. Zero: "Master, the clone produced by the natural disaster base is essentially a body without a soul. When the player goes offline, the clone is like a vegetable, without any reaction to the outside world, only the body is left. Instinct, all kinds of passive skills that represent muscle memory can basically be triggered, but as long as the players don't wear the helmet, there will be no action, but. "]

[Number Zero: "But a body without a soul is very fragile in terms of spirit, and it is almost impossible to resist spiritual attacks. If it encounters some evil spells that manipulate the body, it is easy to be attacked."]

Cheng Shaofeng was thoughtful, and then asked: "We can't control the signal of the player over there. Is it possible that other players are linked to these offline clones through unknown means?"

[Zero: "Basically impossible, because the souls of the players are bound to the clones, and every upgrade and evolution of the clones is synchronized with the souls, even if you want two players to exchange bodies. Possibly, they will have limb confusion due to memory and muscle mismatch, or even directly physically collapse."]

"Well, okay, then I understand"

Now that the possibility of player manipulation is ruled out, only the original monsters in the eastern battlefield are left. Void!

Shadow Guard 2 is stationed in the central city. After setting up the basic defense formation, he goes to the central city library to read books. He even joined an organization called the Truth Association. He can see many treasures of human beings by paying a certain membership fee. classics.

These classics that can only be viewed with a fee are the essence of human beings!

There are not only some important materials before the wasteland era, but also some major news and achievements in the past 400 years.

Cheng Shaofeng also learned a lot about the world from the literature.

Among them is a book called "The Dilemma of Mankind", which elaborates on the current situation of the four major battlefields and the characteristics of the enemy.

Among them, some information about the eastern battlefield emerged in Cheng Shaofeng's mind.

"Void Spirit is just a general term for all incorporeal enemies facing the eastern battlefield. If it is subdivided, it can be divided into many types, and new types of incorporeal monsters have continued to appear over the years."

"Most of them are invisible to the naked eye. They mainly attack in the form of blurs, causing human beings to fall into illusions and die of insanity. People who die often face great torture. After death, their appearance is very terrifying!"

"The way to defend against this incorporeal monster is completely different from the zombies in the northern battlefield and the Zerg in the southern battlefield. It is impossible to form a unified line of defense. We can only focus on cities and strongholds, using the gods and prayers inherited from [Oath] Use spells to protect your city from ethereal attacks, and all places except human strongholds are dangerous places!"

"Soldiers fighting in the eastern battlefield may not have outstanding martial arts skills, but they must have firm beliefs and a steely will, otherwise they will be assimilated and polluted in that environment, and eventually die or become monsters."

"Since this is the case, the players are likely to be invaded by the spirits when they are offline, their bodies will be manipulated out of control, and then they will be recognized as 'monsters' by the defenders. No matter what form they maintain, they are the enemies of human beings, so Only the peak team will be attacked by the spirits and humans at the same time."

After Cheng Shaofeng reasoned this out, he also had a headache.

"The players may be able to figure this out. It's normal for the Eastern battlefield, but the players think it's a game, so it's too unreasonable for the body to move by itself after going offline."

Soon, the Human Alliance received Cheng Shaofeng's request to send someone to the city in the Eastern Battlefield to use special equipment to test the 10 members of the peak team.

"San value is normal."

"Bodily functions are normal."

"No hidden ethereal breath"

"The inspection is complete, welcome back to Soul Suppression City."

The captain of the city's defense is a curly-haired gray-eyed man who inherits [Oath Keeping] and is a powerful fourth-tier professional. Everyone calls him Nangong God Envoy.

The little dog shook hands with him: "We are sorry for what happened yesterday. The ghosts invaded our sleep. For those soldiers who died because of us, we are willing to pay a sum of money to their families to bury them properly."

Nangong Divine Envoy patted him on the shoulder.

"The Human Alliance will compensate their families. If you want to give more, you can go to the logistics department to register, and don't have too much psychological pressure. This kind of thing happens often, but you can break free from the control of the spirit. 10 people will find it together. It’s me, it’s the first time I’ve seen you.”

"I made these 10 amulets. Hold them on your body and be careful. Since the Void Spirits can invade you for the first time, they will definitely come again for the second time."

The peak team took 10 yellow charms from Nangong Shenshi's hands, with some incomprehensible symbols drawn on them, exuding a faint soft energy.

"I'm going to pray today, are you going?"

"Let's not go now, we need to discuss defensive countermeasures." Xigou politely refused.

The Nangong Divine Envoy nodded, and left here to go to the Temple of the Three Witches in the central city, where a large number of believers were praying.

The garrisoned soldiers don't need to patrol the city walls with the human cities on other lines of defense. Their daily task is to pray, and pray in shifts.

In the sky above Soul Suppressing City, there is a faint fire-gold shield looming, with ripples constantly appearing. If you look carefully, you can see ferocious faces colliding outside the shield.
It seems that the ghosts cannot enter, but there is still a faint blue mist in the city, which makes people feel gloomy, as if it is some kind of special force field.

Only the Temple of the Three Witches does not have fog.

The pinnacle team distributed the spells to each person.

Yaohu: "This thing is a consumable item, and it may help us block the invasion of the ethereal, that is, a fault tolerance."

Lin Tang rolled his eyes directly: "The map design of this eastern battlefield is really a bit serious. People can still be attacked when they are offline in the city? Fortunately, Void Spirit didn't control us to commit suicide, otherwise we would have died as soon as we arrived."

At that time, Cheng Shaofeng explained to them what might have happened on qq, and the peak team confirmed that this was not a bug.

It is true that you will die when you go offline!

French fries: "Fortunately, we just went online after eating a meal. I'm afraid that the city will be demolished later and we won't be able to survive. Doesn't it mean that the final death will be very miserable if the ghost is haunted?"

Polar Bear: "Could it be that we can't go offline in the future? Or do you mean everyone goes offline in shifts? Others pay attention to movements and protect teammates. Damn, that...isn't it too much?"

Old Ao: "Don't worry, since the plan says it's a game mechanism, there are ways to restrain it."

They actually have some guesses about this situation. After confirming with the planner that it is not a bug, it is time to solve this problem.
The 'legendary borer' who had just joined the peak team raised his hand.

"That. Brother Tang, I think the inside of the Temple of the Three Witches is quite clean. Could it be that the inside is an absolutely safe zone, and we can log off from there?"

At this time, a huge energy shot up from the temple, golden light shone, the protective cover of the whole city became thicker, and the blue fog that shrouded the city also dissipated a little.

"It should be the power of the Nangong God Envoy's prayer. The guardians of the eastern battlefield, their fourth-level ability is the most restrained spirit."

Keeping the oath and inheriting it, the fourth-level talent: psychic power.

It is said that every fourth-order professional who keeps the oath can talk to the three witches and gods who inherit their beliefs, and obtain a lot of information. At the same time, they can also use part of the power of the gods, which is flexible and powerful.

The oath-keeper inheritors who are good at praying are the most suitable for defending against the invasion of ethereal spirits.

So they have been stationed in the eastern battlefield for inheritance.

"Go, go and see!"

The 10 members of the peak team ran directly to the Temple of the Three Witches. There were many soldiers wearing robes and metal helmets praying. Wisps of fire-golden energy condensed on everyone's head, rose, and floated into the air, protecting the temple. City.

After entering the Temple of the Three Witches.

The 10 people were obviously relaxed, and the gloomy and icy aura disappeared.

The demon fox and French fries guarded it, and the others went offline for an hour to rest, and there was no sign of being manipulated again.

"It seems that this is the absolute safety zone planned for. The city may be invaded by the ethereal breath, and the insanity will attack the friendly army, and the outside of the city is a dangerous place. I guess as long as you go offline, your body will be directly attacked by the ethereal. Seamless takeover”

Xigou breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there is a safe point, otherwise it will be really troublesome."

The demon fox looked around the Temple of the Three Witches and frowned.

"You guys find a problem that's not as small as it is here, everyone's praying, there's not a lot of free space."

Chips: "It doesn't matter if there are 10 of us here, but if other players come, there will be no place for more people and this is a place of prayer for NPCs to keep their vows, I'm afraid I don't want a bunch of us to lie here and sleep Dajue."

Old Ao: "Small dogs still like to snore"

Xigou: "What words! What words are these! Is this my snoring? The passivity of my clone! I can't control it!"

While people were praying, a group of players were lying on the ground lying here and there, snoring
Outrageous to think about.

Demon Fox: "It seems that before we find a good way to fight against the invasion of the spirits, a city in the Eastern Battlefield cannot accommodate too many players."

Xigou hurriedly said: "I have to post a post to remind other players that many people from the southern battlefield want to come here recently. It is best to go to the western battlefield to see, I heard that there is a shortage of people there."

At this time, Lin Tang stomped his feet.

"Okay, let's go then!"

Everyone: "Why go?"

"Freak monsters! We didn't come here to chant scriptures with them, defending the city is too boring, it's better to take the initiative, and the most important thing is that you seem to have forgotten one theorem."

Lao Bai asked blankly: "What theorem?"

Lin Tang smiled charmingly.

"The antidote to highly poisonous things often appears beside it, and the key item against the invasion of Void Spirits. It must also be on Void Spirits. We need to find it!"

Yaohu gave Lin Tang an approving look: "Indeed, Lin Tang is right, we have to find this cracked thing quickly, otherwise we can't get out of the city at all, we can only rely on the Temple of the Three Witches, and the lord asked us to build The sub-base will also become a decoration, not a safe base at all, I am afraid that when we die, the clone has just been made, and I have not been resurrected, and the virtual spirit will get in first."

"Sigh~"

Everyone gasped, this scene was too weird.

"Wait until I get offline to post."

The little dog lay crookedly on the ground.

The cyan mist outside seemed to sense the empty soul of the powerful body of Xigou, rushing towards this side.

Colored energy balls condense from French fries' hands, ready to disperse the haze.

But when the fiery golden holy light from the Three Witches Temple shone out, the cloudy mist was melted away, and it was impossible to make an inch of progress.

This also reassures the players.

Lin Tang: "This is indeed a safe place. We must come back before night falls."

At night, the spirits rioted and their abilities were greatly strengthened. The human cities in the eastern battlefield will be closed and they will never go out.

"Okay, let's go!"

Xigou was back online, and 10 people walked out of the city with all their equipment.

[Received debuff: Possessed with Yin Qi, the speed of life recovery is reduced by 20%, defense ability -50, and suffers 3 points of virtual damage per second. 】

The players' watches vibrated in unison.

This is a debuff that has existed outside the city for a long time, which makes everyone's sixth sense lower, and it is easy to ignore the attack from the fog.

It doesn't matter if the health is reduced. Now high-level players are guaranteed to recover dozens of points of health per second, and a 20% reduction is enough to resist continuous blur damage.

For melee players like Xigou and Laobai, the life recovery per second is hundreds.

Not to mention the two people who rebounded, the legendary Boring and Wei Kunchen, their life recovery is even more abnormal.

"Sacrifice!"

"Sacrifice!"

The two walked in front of the team, and they both activated their continuous range attack skills, and the fire shone around them.

ah ah ah~
There was a hissing sound in the air, and as the air twisted, some ethereal spirits of different shapes appeared, and they were burned by the flames!

The legendary borer: "Our brothers with rebounding equipment and high physical resistance can only be used as meat torches in the eastern battlefield."

Wei Kunchen: "Indeed. The monsters here are too aimed at us! The air is shaking and cold! The dog plans to deliberately disgust us and bounce back!"

Voidlings are immune to physical damage, and most of their reflected damage is lost.

Fortunately, the range of magic damage + lighting effect of the general skill [Sacrifice] is quite easy to use, and the two are responsible for opening the way for the team.

Chips: "Arcane Missiles!"

He raised his staff, and diamond-shaped missiles were reflected from it, hitting the burned Void Spirits around him.

A large amount of black smoke rose in the air, accompanied by the screams of Void Spirit.

[Work together to kill the 'Yin Gui', experience +16]

[Work together to kill the 'hanged ghost', experience +17]

【Combined Kill】

There are some small ethereals around the city, which were cleaned up by the peak team with a few skills.

Wisps of gray powder fell from the air.

"Gathering technique!"

Lao Ao opened one hand, sucked all the powder in the air into his right hand, and then put it into the glass bottle in his left hand.

The gray powder shone with blue light.

"Hehe~ Don't tell me, some of the general skills found by fans look useless, but sometimes they are really useful."

"These should be the drops of the Void Spirit. After I go back, I will disassemble them and see if I can get something good."

They gradually walked towards the gloomy jungle, and the level of Void Spirit was getting higher and higher.

And in the shadow of the jungle, a few men wearing human alliance uniforms with blue mist in their eyes all turned their heads and looked at the location of the peak team.
