Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead
Chapter 641 - 298: Fire (2)
In the sky shrouded by dark clouds, an eye suddenly opened and plummeted, merging with the fungal mass.
Wu Chang felt an intrusive gaze from that eye, as if it wanted to penetrate his flesh and reach the deepest secrets of his heart.
This gaze, strong and penetrating, was something he was very familiar with; it was exactly the bastard who had ruined his plans last night.
Wu Chang laughed, laughed out of anger, his laughter growing louder and uncontrollable.
You're here just in time, just in time indeed!
You two, you've managed to offend my whole family of three, today I'll make sure neither of you come back alive.
A murderous intent rose within Wu Chang, but he did not act rashly.
He saw three faint red grudges on the eyeball monster, but unlike the giant fungal mass, the grudges on the eyeball monster belonged to players.
From the scenes in the grudges, it was clear it had been hunting homeless players at night, and the players it encountered were not ordinary, one of them was even a core player of the Western Union.
However, the player that posed the greatest threat to it among the three was not the Western Union player, but an independent player disguised as a homeless person, hiding in an alley.
The player's name was Parker, and unlike the other two players in the grudges, perhaps due to personal experience, he saw the eyeball monster's true form.
Countless eyes, dense and pervasive.
Parker called this creature the Thousand Eyes.
The lethality of the Thousand Eyes was limited, much less than the centipede puppet Wu Chang had seen before, even when facing players whose attributes were suppressed, winning was not through direct capability attacks.
But the missing numerical values were replaced by powerful mechanisms. ππΏπ²ππ πππ»πΌπ―ππ.ππΌπΊ
Once in battle, countless entities of the Thousand Eyes would surround its prey, exposing all of its prey's actions to its gaze.
All attacks that require charging or have a wind-up would be seen through by the Thousand Eyes.
Once a skill is identified and dodged by the Thousand Eyes, the dodge attack will bounce back to the attacker, only instant-cast or unavoidable skills can hit the Thousand Eyes.
The other two grudges, including the core player from the Western Union, fell victim to this mechanism.
Due to attribute restrictions, players found it difficult to engage in prolonged battles, so they used their most powerful ultimate moves at the start, hoping to win quickly, but if they didn't succeed in one hit, they would turn and flee.
But charging too early exposed their intentions, not only did their ultimate moves miss, but the moves that hit empty spaces also suddenly appeared behind them, dealing heavy injuries to themselves.
In contrast to these two players, Parker saw countless eyes from the start and did not pursue a quick victory, probing out this mechanism at a minimal cost.
Just hitting the Thousand Eyes was not enough, only by hitting the most unique eye among the many eyes of the Thousand Eyes could it truly be harmed.
Initially, Parker didn't realize this either, but as the battle continued, when his will was gradually depleted and inspiration spiraled out of control, he saw that malicious green eye hidden behind the myriad eyes.
Previously, attacking ordinary eyes, even if a target eye was shattered, did not affect the other eyes.
But when he slightly injured that green eye with a skill, the same mark appeared on all the eyes in the alley.
Unfortunately, as soon as he discovered this secret, his consciousness completely collapsed.
Wu Chang looked at the gigantic fungal colony; the eye appearing now was not green, it seemed he had to deal with the fungal mass first to solve the Thousand Eyes.
He took out the Dawn Hammer, switched to fire suppression mode, and pulled the trigger on the monstrous fungal mass.
This time he didn't use the dense needle-shaped bullets but switched to single explosive beams.
The beam flashed by, and the monstrous fungal mass and the Thousand Eyes did not have time to react before they were swallowed by a blinding explosion.
The explosion's range was even larger than he anticipated, almost affecting him; fortunately, Amber wasn't dragged into the Special Space, otherwise, even if the creature didn't harm Amber, this accidental friendly fire would have been a huge problem.
After the explosion, only a charred pit remained where the gigantic fungal mass had been, the fungal mass, and the eyes along with the fungal mat evaporated in the explosion.
The fungal mass evaporated by the explosion turned into colorful steam, ascending to the sky, meeting the cold dark mist, and fusing together to form dirty colored raindrops mixed with various pigments that fell.
Before Wu Chang could move closer to shoot again, the fungal mat watered by droplets sprouted mushroom flowers one after another.
The mushroom flowers turned into mushroom creatures, each with a Thousand Eye's eyeball on their caps.
"Die! Die!"
The overlapping curses seemed to physically pollute Wu Chang's mind.
Wu Chang fired again, this time using needle-shaped bullets, automatically precisely targeting the surrounding targets, the mushroom creatures fell down like the minions in a mowing game, appearing extremely satisfying.
But the fallen mushroom creatures turned back into nutrients, splitting into more mushroom creatures.
Until now, the green eye Wu Chang was waiting for still hadn't appeared.
Tsk, can't kill them all?
Wu Chang wanted to fire the needle-shaped bullets again, but before pulling the trigger, alarms went off in his mind, his inspiration warned him not to pull the trigger.
Has absorbing too many players allowed the Thousand Eyes to develop a new mechanism, and the same skill can no longer be effective twice?
He put away the Dawn Hammer and unleashed the Deep Water Bite.
Where the Deep Water Bite passed, mushroom creatures fell like wheat, but before the distant mushroom creatures died, the nearby ones had already regenerated.
