If he didn't talk back, then he wouldn't be Huang Shaotian. However, Ye Xiu obviously wasn't in the mood to appreciate trash talk. Even though he had gotten rid of the annoying tail, his position on the leaderboards hadn't changed at all.
32。
This was his current position. At the beginning, the street had allowed him to maintain his position in the top 20, but after leaving that street, Ye Xiu's luck hadn't been good. The number of ghosts he encountered wasn't enough to keep him in the top 20. His current position of 32 was only temporary. Looking at the quiet street on his left and right, after he finished walking this street, his position would probably fall even further.
But no matter what, he couldn't just stand there and not move. Ghosts spawned in one go. If there were no ghosts, then there were no ghosts. There was no such thing as camping and waiting for them to spawn.
Ye Xiu controlled Lord Grim to walk across the stone bridge. Once again, he was faced with the left, center, and right paths. However, all three paths were equally quiet. Ye Xiu really wanted to cry. Why was he so unlucky today?
I should just keep walking forward! As Ye Xiu thought, Lord Grim stepped off the bridge. Just as he was about to walk forward, he suddenly felt that he couldn't take another step. His character's camera spun, and Lord Grim actually fell to the ground.
Where did the attack come from? Ye Xiu was startled.
The instant Lord Grim was about to fall, he hurriedly Quick Recovered, but it didn't work. There was no doubt that this attack had the priority of a grab attack. However, with Ye Xiu's experience, he actually didn't notice the attack at all and was hit directly.
Now that his character had fallen to the ground, Ye Xiu looked around and saw that Lord Grim's ankle had been wrapped around by something.
What was it?
Ye Xiu didn't even have time to see it clearly before he saw that thing fiercely retract. Ye Xiu followed up with a Slash. Lord Grim's sword slashed down and accurately hit, but it didn't have any effect. That thing pulled back and flung Lord Grim into the air. This time, Ye Xiu saw clearly that this strange thing of unknown origin had come out from the river under the stone bridge. However, there was a large patch of seaweed on the surface of the water, practically occupying the entire surface of the river. It was impossible to see what was under the water.
Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in the air transformed back into its gun form and fired a Gatling Gun in the direction this unknown thing was coming out from. The bullets flew everywhere, and the of seaweed flew everywhere. However, this thing was still as if it had been slashed by a knife. Under the churning water, Ye Xiu still couldn't see clearly what was going on, but soon after, with a splash, Ye Xiu was finally pulled into the water.
Where was it?
As soon as he entered the water, Ye Xiu immediately looked around, but he still found nothing. The thing that was wrapped around Lord Grim's leg was still there. Ye Xiu looked in the direction it was connected to and was surprised to find that this thing was sticking out of the water again.
What kind of monster was this? Ye Xiu felt a headache coming on. If there was any difficulty in this Ghost Parade, it would be the one that Ye Xiu was facing right now. The ghosts were all newly created NPCs. He had never encountered them before in previous online games, so he had no idea about their characteristics and skills. Even if they were gods, they would still be considered beginners in front of these new monsters.
And now, Ye Xiu felt like he had met a difficult opponent. Although he didn't lack confidence in killing the target, his frequent confusion was a waste of time. Look, in just a short while, he dropped to 35th place again. Ye Xiu was caught by the monster, but he still had the mood to look at the leaderboard. He immediately realized that he had dropped by three places again.
And in that instant, the monster finally launched another attack. And this time, Ye Xiu finally saw what it was.
It was actually seaweed!
The green seaweed that covered the entire surface of the river like vomit was actually the truth of this monster. No wonder it looked like it was coming out of the water one moment, and then it looked like it was coming out of the water the next. It turned out that this thing was on the water!
Ye Xiu finally figured out what his opponent was, but the seaweed monster had already started to attack him. The seaweed that had been floating on the surface of the water suddenly started to sink to the bottom of the water in clumps, like will-o '-the-wisps.
Ye Xiu didn't know what kind of attack this was, but he definitely wouldn't touch it lightly. He hurriedly controlled Lord Grim to turn around and swim deeper into the water. But the bottom of his foot tightened. The seaweed that was wrapped around Lord Grim was still there.
What a long time of control!
Ye Xiu was astonished. Even if it was an NPC, its skills couldn't be outside of the scope of Glory's settings. Offensive skills dealt damage, while crowd control skills dealt time. Whether it was damage or time, there had to be a limit. How long had this seaweed been wrapped around Lord Grim's ankle, restricting his movements? It was still there. How long did this monster's skill last?
Ye Xiu couldn't care less because the Will-O '-the-wisps that had sunk to the bottom of the water suddenly began to attack. The attack method was extremely simple. It directly crashed into Lord Grim's body. But right now, there were countless clumps of seaweed that had sunk to the bottom of the water. Dodging one was fine, but if they all attacked together, it would be like a net. Where would he find an opening?
He had to dodge ahead of time!
If he went underwater, he would be pulled up … above him was the surface of the water. The surface of the water was covered in seaweed. If he went up, it would look like he was falling into the monster's embrace. That was an even worse choice.
Hurry up and break it!
Helpless, Ye Xiu could only go down. Breaking the seaweed around Lord Grim's ankle was the key. With another slash, the seaweed was bent at an angle, but it didn't break. It was clear that it had an extremely strong elasticity and toughness …
Ye Xiu didn't have time to try anymore. He could only follow his judgment. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella changed from a sword to a gun. With a bang, another bullet shot out. The instant the bullet left the chamber, he pulled out his sword again.
When the bullet hit the seaweed, the sword flashed. This time, the seaweed was cut cleanly in half. Ye Xiu immediately had Lord Grim sink to the bottom of the water. The clumps of seaweed behind him swarmed up and squeezed together.
That was close!
It was rare for Ye Xiu to have this kind of lingering fear in the game. After seeing the seaweed's toughness, Ye Xiu gave it a Spitfire's Stun Bullet. After hardening the seaweed, he successfully cut it in half. Seeing the clumped seaweed behind him, Ye Xiu had Lord Grim throw a grenade over. Ye Xiu felt that this explosion would definitely feel good.
It really does feel good!
A large clump of seaweed was sent flying everywhere by the grenade's explosion. A few clumps of seaweed splashed onto Lord Grim's body. His health immediately dropped to red.
F * ck!
Ye Xiu was flustered. He raised the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella as a shield and hurriedly cast all the healing skills he could. At the same time, he wildly drank life-saving potions. Only then did he manage to stay alive.
What a powerful attack. Ye Xiu was shocked. If two more clumps of seaweed splashed onto Lord Grim, he might have been instantly killed. This kind of high damage didn't fit Ye Xiu's current understanding of these monsters. Their battle strength was comparable to dungeon monsters, but this kind of attack power wasn't just dungeon monsters. This was completely on the level of a boss, and a wild boss at that.
Ye Xiu didn't dare to be careless. The seaweed that had been scattered by the grenade clearly hadn't died yet. It was preparing to attack Lord Grim again.
How was he supposed to kill this seaweed? Could a Stun Bullet deal with it? Ye Xiu wasn't confident. He wanted to give it a try. He shot at a small clump of seaweed and slashed down with his sword. The small clump of seaweed was instantly shattered. In the blink of an eye, it dissolved into the water and disappeared.
It worked!
Ye Xiu confirmed it, but he couldn't feel happy. The seaweed had covered the entire surface of the river. How many attacks would he have to make to completely destroy it?
As for why the seaweed monster was so powerful, Ye Xiu had a rough idea in an instant. The seaweed calmly floated on the surface of the water. It was an extremely cunning disguise. Then, they would ambush passing players. Even Ye Xiu wouldn't be able to figure out what was going on after being caught. Normal players wouldn't be able to deal with it. As a result, after continuously killing players, the seaweed monster finally grew to this level.
Was he considered lucky or unlucky? Ye Xiu really didn't know. This kind of big guy was definitely an expert in points. Anyone who encountered it should be happy. But the problem was, this big guy was also quite strong. Did he have the ability to kill it?
This guy's attack power was already on the level of a wild boss. If its health was also on the same level, then Ye Xiu really would give up on this idea. But right now, he decided to try.
The scattered clumps of seaweed were just one of the seaweed monster's methods of attack. Shattering them was merely a form of defense. To destroy the seaweed monster, one naturally had to attack the seaweed monster itself, which was what was floating on the surface of the water. But he had to deal with all of the small clusters of seaweed in front of him to have a chance.
As a result, Ye Xiu quickly lured the small seaweed to surround him like before. Then, without any delay, they suddenly moved away.
The small seaweed once again huddled together. Lord Grim turned around and sent a Stun Bullet over. Then, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella transformed into a spear. Dragon's Teeth stabbed forward and followed up with a Double Stab. As for Falling Flower Palm, which required close-range attacks, Ye Xiu didn't dare to use it before he confirmed it. After Double Stab, he followed up with a Sword Draw.
In an instant, the three skills were used. The water around them splashed, and the scattered seaweed instantly disappeared into the water.
It worked!
The success of this experiment raised Ye Xiu's spirits. The seaweed monster was right above his head. After this experiment, Ye Xiu already had a pretty good plan for how to deal with it. Right now, he wanted to confirm whether or not the seaweed monster's main body could be destroyed in one hit. If it had the tenacious vitality of a wild boss, Ye Xiu could only turn around and leave without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, Lord Grim had already entered the range where he could attack the surface of the water. With a flick of his sleeve, he used the Witch skill Shadow Cloak and instantly surrounded the seaweed on the surface of the water. Then, he sent a Stun Bullet over. And then, he attacked!
