Starting From Zero

Chapter 9 Joint Sweep

Chapter 9 Joint Sweep

"Go up and take advantage of them." Rose shouted as soon as she saw those people.

I have to say that Rose has a good brain. The flying creatures in our guild have an absolute advantage, and airborne operations are very beneficial to us. Those guys above are actually not stupid either. When they found out that we were leaving the city, we must be looking for the Soul Stone, and the Soul Stone cannot be left somewhere for no reason for anyone to pick up, so there must be guards. Once we and the guards are defeated, they can take the opportunity to come down and kill us together, and get a Soul Stone next to them. They made a good plan, but unfortunately they misestimated our flying speed first. As a result, not only did they fail to track us on the road, but they actually moved further and further away, and in the end we were separated by more than twenty minutes. Second, they misjudged our efficiency. It only took us ten minutes to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and it only took us five minutes to deal with these guards. By the time they caught up, we were already preparing to leave. As a result, not only did they have no time to take advantage, but they ran into our team head-on.

A large group of flying creatures quickly rose into the sky on our side. I asked Crystal, the fairy dragon, to carry Rose, Bingbing and several other auxiliary personnel on his back, while the others mounted their spears and started to fight. Naturally, my giant dragon and other flying magic pets also have to join in the fun.

Seeing so many flying units rising up on our side, the other party immediately realized that there might be a large number of trainer professionals on our side, so they immediately released their magic pets. Although magic pets are still precious and rare things so far, the opponent is also an elite party and has many magic pets, and the level is quite high.

The demon pets on both sides quickly collided with each other. As a result, my demon pet quickly showed amazing combat effectiveness. Without synthetic creatures like spears, dragons would be the overlords of the sky, and not many creatures could fight them in the air. After landing, there are things like the War Beast and the Behemoth that can compete with the giant dragon. The dragon in the sky is much stronger than on the ground.

Luck and Plague were the first to bear the brunt. One of them hugged a giant divine angel and started biting it in the air. Angels pay attention to skills. Divine angels are energy creatures that do not actually belong to the angel family, but their combat power is even more powerful than angels. However, the dragon advocates a rogue style of play, hugging and refusing to let go. The dragon's four claws, a mouth, and a tail were all weapons. The angel was bitten and injured immediately after he was hugged. The feathers in the sky are flying everywhere.

I stood on Asuka's back and rushed straight to the center of the opponent's team. There was a gunman standing there who looked like a lightbulb. I knew that this guy must be very dangerous and I had to kill him first. He turned back and shouted to Bai Ling: "I will clear the way for your arrows. Kill the mage first."

When Bai Ling heard this, he immediately turned around, opened his bow and put a magical arrow with attributes on the string. A large number of white light spots quickly appeared in the surrounding air and began to converge towards the tip of the arrow, and became more and more quick. I rushed towards the mage all the way, and the other party also noticed my surprise behavior. Immediately blocked my flight path.

Because everyone came to intercept me, a gap was immediately cleared in Bailing's offensive route. Bai Ling struggled to draw the bow to full range, and then suddenly threw his hand away. "Demon Explosive Arrow." The arrow with a huge ball of light dragged its long tail like a meteor and flew towards the **** master at a terrifying speed.

The master noticed the little sun-like arrow and raised one hand. A protective light shield appeared in front of him. The arrow suddenly hit the protective shield, and with a loud bang, the magic arrow and the protective shield disappeared into the air. But the mage didn't take any advantage. The huge shock wave sent him flying far away before he was caught by an angel player who came over.

"I'm fine." The Master player pushed the Angel player away. Then he levitated back up and started chanting the incantation.

As soon as the player holding the gunman turned around, he saw me rushing forward. He immediately drew his sword to block my attack. "You...?" He was very surprised that I could still rush forward after being intercepted by so many people. But he soon noticed that behind me and in front of each of his companions stood me. "Multiple clones?"

"It's multiple illusions!" I shook this guy away with my sword and flew straight towards the assassin. The player wanted to chase me, but a black hole suddenly appeared behind me. Yeyue jumped out and entangled the guy, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

I jumped up from the bird's back and spread my wings. "Go pick up Yeyue." After leaving the flying bird, I had already reached the mage floating in the air. This guy immediately turned his staff and threw the magic he had just prepared towards me.

"Here it is! Where are you throwing it?" My figure appeared behind the mage. The mage was surprised to see that his magic passed through my body in front of me, which was obviously an illusion. But I was already behind him. He didn't even give him time to look back. He made a horizontal slash and immediately heard the system prompt to add ten points. It was really simple. Just after the first prompt ended, I heard another prompt that added ten points. It turned out that the guy who was entangled by Yeyue was petrified and fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Petrification does not kill the target, and it will return to normal after the recovery time. However, if it turns into stone and is smashed to the ground, it will be completely dead.

The flying bird caught the falling Yeyue and flew back to pick me up. Yeyue was sent back to Fenglong space. I stepped on the flying bird and rushed towards the few people next to me. Zhenhong and the others have also arrived. The melee in the air immediately became one-sided. The speed advantage of the mount allows us to decide the timing of attacking the enemy at will, and we are a team with many auxiliary professions. Even if the individual combat effectiveness was similar before, after being strengthened by so many auxiliary professions, he would definitely be much stronger than his opponent. It is natural for the opponent to be defeated by each of us due to his slow speed and unable to take advantage of their numerical advantage.

Twenty players have added 200 points for us, and with one crystal we have 220 points. Even if we start to rest now, we probably won't be eliminated. There were almost no casualties on our side and very few injuries. It's best to fight us on the ground. We won't be afraid of anyone if they fly.

Since the equipment is not exploded during the mission, we don’t need to clear the battlefield and return directly to the city. When they entered the city, they found a large amount of blood on the ground, and several soldiers were leaning on the roadside to be bandaged. It was obviously done by the group we framed. But if the 900-level guards were beaten like this, they probably wouldn't be much better. Moreover, there are many portraits of them posted on the roadside nearby. It seems that they are newly issued wanted notices, and now they have something to play with.

I had just switched back to Silver Moon mode outside the city and took out the address given by my boss to look at it. This seems to be a business card. It says No. 8, Baima Street, and the address is Wanyou Auction House. Places like this usually do some underground business, and the boss was really good at helping us contact the business.

I tried my best to put on an innocent smile and asked passers-by for the address. The response was immediate and enthusiastic. It’s good if your charm value is high! If I hadn't resolutely refused, the few people who were asked for directions would even lead us. Their enthusiasm was really indescribable.

I quickly found the store, which looked quite big from the outside. I was about to go in when there was a sudden flash on top of the building next to me. I quickly reached out and grabbed an arrow. The arrow was only an inch away from Rose's neck. If I had been slower, Rose would have been dead. Rose's reaction was not slow. She quickly recovered and pointed to the rooftop opposite: "Master guard. There is a wanted criminal."

The nearby NPC guards turned their heads to look at the roof at the same time, and then shouted and dozens of people came up. These are all 900-level guards, and the roof of the jump room is just like the stairs. The archer didn't recover from the shock of being caught by me until this moment, and quickly turned around and ran out, but there were more guards on the ground rushing towards the direction in which he escaped. Let him play hide and seek with the guards! We still have business to attend to.

Enter this auction house. A guy immediately ran over inside. "Guests, I'm sorry, today is not an auction day. If you are here to entrust auction items, please go to the reception desk next door."

I took out the business card the boss gave me and handed it over: "We were introduced by xxx." I gave the boss's name. Judging from this guy's reaction, fortunately, he seemed to understand.

"Oh, I see. Then everyone, please come with me."

We followed this little guy into the back yard, and the guy took us directly into a corner on the side of the yard. We smelled a familiar smell from afar.

"Hello? We are here to buy things. Why did you take us to the toilet?" Zhenhong asked angrily.

The clerk smiled and said, "It's just a trick. The door to the special sales area is behind here." He took the lead and walked in.

Since it's just a disguise, we can't say anything. Turn into the narrow dead end. At the end is a toilet with several cubicles. The guy walked to the door of the last cubicle and knocked. A rough voice sounded from inside. "Someone."

The young man immediately shouted: "I want to buy your pit."

The door creaked open from the inside, and a muscular man leaned against the door. "How many times has this happened to you today? You made me come up and open the door for you. It stinks so bad!"

The waiter smiled and said: "It's not up to me to decide how many times to open. There are guests, so there's nothing I can do about it!" Then he turned to us and said: "Please follow me."

Entering the compartment, there is suddenly a door behind it. Passing through here is a very narrow alley. After passing through, there is another door. After opening it, you directly enter a very luxuriously decorated hall. Depend on. It’s actually an underground exchange!

The guy gave us a polite salute. "Everyone, please be objective. I'm going to the front to greet the guests."

I threw him a gold coin, turned around and walked in with everyone. This place is really big enough. There are at least a few hundred people here, but it's not chaotic. In the middle of the room were tables of people talking about something, and there were huge signboards on the left and right sides of the room, and a lot of people were gathered under the signboards looking at something. When we walked past several of the tables, we could hear them seeming to be trading something. It seemed that these were people who had already connected with the buying and selling and were talking about specific prices.

I stretched out two fingers, and then pointed one finger to each side with my left and right hands. Anmaru and Yingquan had already reached the signboards on both sides in a flash, and ran back after a while.

Yingquan said: "That's the sales bulletin board over there."

An Wan also said: "The side I'm looking at is the purchase information bulletin board."

Rose said to me: "First check to see if there is a sale column. If there is one, buy it directly. If not, send a message to the other side."

I nodded and walked to the sale column to look at it. This thing seems to be a blackboard controlled by magic. The words on it are made of white crystal powder, and they are constantly changing with the control of the mage. There are quite a lot of things for sale, but there are no soul crystals. I don't think it will be so easy for us to buy this thing. I had no choice but to take everyone to announce the acquisition news.

To post a purchase request, just say something to the mage who operates the magic display board, but you have to pay money and buy a table, because if others want to sell it, they have to find you!

We paid and sat down at a numbered table. This place has a large table specially prepared for multi-person teams, so twenty people can also sit underground. Not to mention, someone came running over within a few minutes. "Excuse me, do you need the soul crystal?"

"Have you?" I asked immediately.

The young man shook his head. "The royal family controls this kind of thing very strictly. You can't buy it even on the black market. But I know where to find it, and there are more than one place. If you are willing to pay..." He glanced at me. "I can tell you the location. Ten crystal coins for each location."

Rose immediately jumped in front of me and said: "You go with us. You will be rewarded with one hundred crystal coins for every piece you get."

"No." The young man immediately said nervously: "There are either guards or monsters in those places. I won't lie to you. There are really soul stones in those places, but I don't want to take risks with you."

"Add one hundred crystal coins to each place." Rose is an expert at playing with human nature and gets to the subject directly.

"Okay... okay!" The young man finally bowed to money.

With this living signpost, our next actions will be much easier, and the rose has another meaning in bringing him out. According to the rules of the game, you can only get information about one of the Soul Stones at a time, which means you will never get the locations of multiple stones at the same time. So if this young man tells us the location of all the lands, it is likely that after we get the first piece, we will not be able to get the other pieces for various reasons. Or the other pieces are not in their original positions for various reasons. Anyway, we can't find other crystals based on this news. But it's different with this guy. He only told us one location at a time. Although he knew all the locations, we did not know the other locations before we obtained the first piece of land he mentioned. This way we would not trigger the rules and cause the system to modify settings and affect our actions. .

You can take advantage of the rules. But never defend against it, otherwise it will always be you who suffers.

We left the auction house with the young man. As soon as we walked out of the door, we suddenly heard the system prompt saying that we had added ten points. The total score of 220 points actually jumped to 230 points. Everyone was confused and didn't know why they suddenly got extra points.

Rose suddenly said: "Ten points. Does that mean we killed the opponent's team members? But we are all here, and no one did anything. ...Does it mean that framing others to be killed by NPCs counts as our extra points?"

When Rose said this, I immediately understood: "It's probably like this. Although the rules say that there are no points for being killed by an NPC, but that was the situation when the two sides were caught in a melee, but we consciously framed each other, which is equivalent to borrowing the NPC. The power is different from the state in which it was discovered. Maybe the system thinks that using intelligence to borrow a knife to kill people can be regarded as a kind of combat power!"

"What's wrong with you?" The young man asked with some confusion when he saw that we all stopped.

"It's okay." I walked out of the door first and climbed onto Yeying's back. The young man was pulled onto his bone horse by Li Bing. This is the city, and his ghost dragon is too big. They had to use bone horses instead.

Following the youth's instructions, we started running towards the west city gate. As a result, we heard bonus point prompts one after another just halfway. Six of those guys were killed in a row, and our points jumped to 290 points. But the frame-up ended here. Not far from the city, we saw ten people standing on the road in front, waiting for us. These are the guys who were framed. A total of seven were framed before and after. There are still thirteen people left, but three of them have not been seen. Probably hiding somewhere and planning to launch a sneak attack.

Li Bing picked up the young man and threw him to Bing Ling behind him. "You protect him." As he said this, he removed the bone horse and released the ghost dragon. The young man shivered in fear when he saw the terrifying giant beasts appearing on our side. If he wasn't surrounded by four girls, he would probably turn around and run away.

Ding. Before we started fighting, there was a sudden noise behind us. An assassin jumped out of the ground and threw a dart, but it was blocked by dense vines. Bingbing has six vine magic pets. The defense is tight and there is nothing to say.

The assassin realized that the sneak attack was unsuccessful. After falling from the air to the ground, he sank as if he had fallen into water. The quartet of dancing angels rushed forward quickly. The girl at the front jumped up and turned gracefully in the air. Then she straightened her legs, raised her hands together, and turned into a long stick. Then Using the force of her mid-air spin just after taking off, she spun at high speed. I saw her whole body plunge to the ground, and with a bang, her legs were nailed into the ground like drills. Less than a meter from where she entered. The ground suddenly exploded, and the assassin jumped out again.

Another dancing angel took a step forward, turned around and swung her legs beautifully, and a pink arc of light was thrown out from her feet. As soon as the assassin jumped into the air, he was cut off by the arc light, and the body that was broken into two parts fell down with a plop. These four girls are really a combination of angels and demons, killing people is like dancing.

While killing this assassin, we have also taken down three people in front. The opponent is already stronger than us, and their numbers are still small, so it is normal for them to be killed one after another. Watching the enemy being killed. Our points have accumulated to 400 points, but there are still two people whose whereabouts are unknown.

Qing Xin put the guzheng on the vine where Bing Bing summoned her, pressed her hands on the guzheng, and there was a buzzing sound, and there was an explosion in front of her. A big tree was blown down in half. An assassin fell from the tree trunk spitting blood. Good guy, now I understand why they say that the more specialized professions are, the stronger their combat effectiveness is!

Qingxin did not stop after killing the assassin, but the sound of the piano became soothing and peaceful, as if she was playing an ordinary musical instrument at will. But I know these girls. As long as the music they play is not an auxiliary effect, it must be an attack or a curse. There will be no music that is completely useless. Now that we don't feel the auxiliary attributes, it must be the other two.

Sure enough, more than ten seconds later, the sound of the piano suddenly changed, and with a bang, a large hole with a diameter of more than four meters opened in the ground to our left, and a pile of human body fragments spurted out from the hole. This mm is scarier than the quartet of dancing angels!

"Four hundred and twenty points." Rose said: "The two teams we killed are destined to be eliminated. If we encounter other teams in the future, we will not fight if we can. Now we start collecting soul stones. One goal.”

"Then what if others stare at us?" Ming Jing asked.

"Of course we fought back." I said, "Now go up the mountain first."

Under the guidance of the young man, we quickly went into the mountain and got a soul stone, which raised our points to 440 points. With the help of this young man, we don't have to go back to the city to look for clues. Just look for them one by one. However, the system may have restricted our collection behavior. The more soul stones we obtain, the more difficult the subsequent tasks will be. The first time we took out the guards at the mountain spring in just five minutes, but when we went to grab the seventh piece, we encountered hundreds of guards. We fought for thirty minutes and killed several magic pets. Get the Soul Stone. And now we are launching an attack on the eighth Soul Stone. The battle is unprecedented, with nearly a thousand monsters protecting the Soul Stone in the deepest part of a cave. This ghost place is very narrow, and large demon pets cannot be summoned. We also lack overwhelming combat effectiveness. There is no way to break through the defense.

"Woo!" With a muffled groan, Hongyue fell to the ground with a stalagmite pierced through her belly. The monsters here are very smart. When they pass by, they will pull up stalagmites several feet long on the ground and use them as javelins. This place is full of sharp stalagmites, which are almost all their weapons, making it difficult for us to guard against them.

"Don't move." Rose held down Hongyue, who was struggling to get up, then stepped on her shoulders with her feet, hugged the stalagmite with both hands and pulled outwards.

"Ah!" Hongyue screamed and fainted as soon as the stalagmite left the body.

Rose continuously performed large-scale healing techniques, and the wounds quickly fused and returned to their original state. Taking a small bottle from her body, Rose put it under Hongyue's nose and shook it. Hongyue immediately jumped up with a twitch. "Ugh!" A mouthful of blood spurted out from Hongyue's mouth.

Rose patted her back. "how's it going?"

Hongyue took a few breaths before saying: "His health points have dropped a bit too much, and he is relatively weak!"

Rose quickly threw in a few more strengthening spells, and Hong Yue got better.

Kristina, who had been preparing magic since the beginning of the war, suddenly shouted to us who were facing the enemy in front: "I'm ready, you guys can knock me down."

As soon as we heard this, we immediately shook the enemies in front of us with all our strength. Then lie down on the ground. Kristina pointed her staff forward: "Meteor spurt!" A small magic circle appeared at the tip of her staff, and then countless white light bullets the size of volleyballs spurted out from it. , its density is almost continuous. We all lay on the ground holding our heads, as if there were dozens of heavy machine guns shooting around us. The ground was full of sand and rocks, no matter if they were stalagmites or monsters. This kind of magic sprays out first-level magic light bullets. In fact, they are not very powerful, but there are too many of them. The monsters were not killed directly, but were washed away by the magic flood formed by the magic bullets.

The spray lasted for a minute before stopping. Kristina collapsed to the ground. We climbed up from the ground tremblingly. The surrounding area had become a mess of rocks, and all the stalagmites were destroyed. , the walls and the roof of the cave were full of pits, and smoke was rising from many places. The wall in front was covered with red and green liquid, which was the remains of the monsters that had been blasted to pieces.

Zhenhong turned around and gave a thumbs up to Kristina. "The First Fort really deserves its reputation!"

"Phew! I'm so exhausted!" Kristina took a handful of magic-rejuvenating medicine and stuffed it into her mouth like jelly beans. The first turret is indeed very strong, but it also costs money. The magic potion just now is worth at least thirty crystal coins, and the pk is not bad. No player dares to level up like this, unless he is the son of an oil tycoon.

Bang bang bang... A burst of applause rang out behind us. We turned around in surprise and found a group of people approaching the cave entrance, and the leader was actually an acquaintance.

"Gun God?" I didn't dare to move as soon as I stood up. Because a gun was pressed against Rose's head.

"Oh oh oh, don't move around. My hands are not very stable." The bastard Gunslinger is trying to make me angry.

"My hands are not very stable either." Yingquan's figure slowly appeared behind Gunslinger, with a flashing red dagger hooked around his neck. "Do you want the neck to be connected to the head or to the body? If you have trouble making up your mind, I suggest you leave the neck on the body so that the bottom of your head is flatter and can be placed on the table for decoration. "Ying Quan teased the Gunslinger proudly.

The gunman smiled awkwardly and slowly raised his gun and hand. We quickly ran over and blocked the auxiliary professions such as Rose and others behind us. Anmaru ran into the cave after I gave him a few instructions. I asked him to get the Soul Stone first.

Yingquan forced the gun god to turn around. Then he walked backwards to our main formation and kicked the gunman out with one last kick. After the Gunslinger returned to his own team, other people wanted to rush forward, but the Gunslinger stopped them. "Hehe! It's just a joke." The Gun God looked at the situation deep in the cave, and then said: "Since you have eliminated the monsters, it's hard for us to do anything. Then, let's leave now and pretend that we haven't Just met."

I asked: "How many points do you have?"

"Over one hundred."

"Then you don't have to do anything." I said to the gun god: "We have wiped out two teams before, and they were eliminated with zero points. This time it is five to three. So as long as you don't have zero points, you can't be eliminated steadily. ”

"Oh, then it seems there is no need for us to fight." The gunman said unseriously.

Rose finally understood what I meant. "How about we work together?"

"Why should I cooperate with you?" Gunslinger asked.

Rose glanced at his team. "Now you are destined not to be eliminated. The remaining task is to get more Soul Stones. But I think you should also notice that the defensive power of Soul Stones is getting stronger and stronger. You only have sixteen people left. , the team is no longer complete. With such a team, you can get at most two soul stones. Our team is relatively complete, and our mounts are faster, which can save time on the road. If we cooperate, the assault speed will be accelerated. We can get a lot more soul stones.”

"How do you divide the soul stones you get?"

"We will take five of the first nine, and you will take four. If there are more lands, we will divide them in half. If the number of extra lands is an odd number, then put them up for auction, and the profit will be divided in half."

"make a deal."

The Gunslinger and I are actually the same person. We are both heroes, so we don't like each other, but at the same time we have to admit that the other side is very powerful, and we have to cooperate often without any other choice! What a depressing enemy!

We started cooperation after signing the system guarantee agreement. The Gunslinger's Gunslingers League is the most powerful guild in the United States, and the group of people around him are not easy to deal with. The fighting ability is so powerful that it scares people to death. In fact, if we add up the individual combat capabilities, our team is not as good as the Gunslinger team. The main reason is that they have too few auxiliary professions, so their team strength is not as good as ours. After the two sides merged, their shortcomings and our shortcomings just covered up each other, and their strength suddenly increased sharply, becoming a mess. It only took a short time for Rose to get all the first nine shares agreed upon by Rose. Rose herself said that she had miscalculated. If she had known better, she would not have used this rule to divide the shares. Rose's division was because he thought we were not so efficient. Who knew that the merger and strength would increase so much. At this rate, we will be able to get at least more than twenty soul stones by the end of the day, but we only got one more, which is almost equal to being evenly matched with them! The problem is that we can't go back now, let alone be lazy, otherwise we will suffer even greater losses! The Gunslinger is extremely happy. Because the more he takes, the bigger his share actually becomes.

The Gunslinger originally brought a lot of auxiliary professions, but he was attacked by another team and killed four auxiliary professions as soon as he came up. As a result, there was no player around him who knew how to heal, so he was in such a mess. Now we have a super nurse assistant here. Their violence factor can be brought into full play, and even though I am so strong and rampant along the way, I am willing to be defeated.

When our guild was allocated thirteen Soul Stones, the Gunslinger also got his twelve Soul Stones. This number simply exceeded our predictions. Our guild now has a total of twenty-one soul stones. The Gunslinger also took a lot of them before, but I don’t know the specific number. It is estimated that there are at least three.

When we moved forward to the next target together, the Gunslinger was still counting the soul stones with a smile, deliberately trying to make us angry. But when he arrived at his destination, even he was stunned. The young man said that this was the last place he knew, and it was also the most dangerous place. The reason why he told us in the end was that he hoped we wouldn't need to come here. He didn't expect that our combat power exceeded the budget and looted so many gems in one go. He was let go after repeated requests. This place was too dangerous and he refused to follow us no matter what. Besides, this was the last place, so there was no point in taking him with us.

Currently, only one member of our team, Anmaru, has been killed. The Gunslinger has killed two more people after joining forces with us. The loss of strength is not much. But when we saw this place, we started to feel guilty. This last place turned out to be a military camp. The information the young man gave us was that the Soul Stone was found in a mining area in another place. Then the king sent an army to escort it back to the royal capital, and our current task is to get this soul stone out of the thousands of troops. Seeing the terrifying number of enemies below, I almost thought this was an impossible task.

"It seems that this is the last soul stone we can get." I shook my head helplessly.

The Gunslinger is even more pessimistic than me. "I suspect that none of us may be able to get this one."

Rose smiled and asked, "Are you scared?"

"Do I seem to be afraid of local people?" Gunslinger looked at Rose and asked.

Kristina smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Give me amplification magic. I will try the newly learned super magic and help you draw it out. Then Ziri, you go inside and grab the soul stone, Gun God Sister Bailing is responsible for sniping the enemies around you to help you clear the way, and the others will help you attract the enemies. As long as we get something, we can dodge."

I pointed to the group of flying dragons beside the military camp in the distance. "It's not as simple as you think!"

"I have an idea." Bingbing said suddenly.

"What can we do?" Our eyes were focused together.
