478. Chapter 476: 475 Driving Wolves and Tigers Away, Meow Ah!

Chapter 476: 475.Driving Wolves and Tigers, Meow!
Time advances to the next day, the penultimate eighth day of the 40-day free raid period of the “Shadow of the Swamp” incident, Miss Phineas, who had rested for six hours, started her work again.

She helped the Southern Front’s Big Bird Regiment and Silver Moon Regiment reopen the entrance to Plague Town.

The two player guilds that stepped into it this time were confident, even though it didn’t matter that Brother Woo Meow, the unlucky one, had lost his mind because he had too much fun hacking yesterday resulting in himself being poisoned to death.

His Wampum Decimator was lent to Black Silk Brother, who also had [Giant Weapon Specialization], for temporary use.

Mrs. Water, who was a healer, had recorded all of her spell books as healing and poison removal spells so that she could use them on the fly without needing to chant and cast spells, and players with Avalon Church professions had also recorded auxiliary spells for poison removal, and also bought a lot of anti-poison pills from Ambrosia.

Yesterday’s defeat was obviously a shame, so today everyone was holding on to their energy, and this “shame” thought made them full of fighting strength.

The fact proved that the enraged players were really not to be messed with!

As soon as today’s raid began, it didn’t take more than an hour for Zombie Governor Ken Porter to be decapitated by Black Silk and Little Reed.

To be honest, this kind of clumsy giant undead creature can’t really talk about too much sanity, even if Crippled Claw gave Kenport the undead skin’s defense specialization, but in the face of the Wampum Decapitator this kind of sharp weapon, the Underworld strengthened infliction is difficult to withstand the swinging axe blade.

Not to mention the fact that Little Reed named today’s raid extravagantly equipped all the players in the raid group with a full set of gold-burning bullets, and even specifically hired a few veterans from Stick to maneuver mortars in the back to provide fire support.

Prepared to this point, if you still can not take a gatekeeper BOSS is really a bit unreasonable.

However, before the members of the Big Bird and Silver Moon Regiments could be happy for long, the problem that had previously eluded Stick’s team also appeared in front of them.

After taking down the Gatekeeper, their next target was the Plague Warlock Tower.

Even though Torn Meat had run away with his barrels, the Crippled Claw guarding the tower was just as capable of maneuvering the mage tower to cause them all sorts of trouble, and the space in the warlock tower was very narrow and filled with jackal warlocks, causing the elite players of the Southern Front to pay a huge amount of casualties for every step they took.

The damn jackals also knew that once the tower was breached, they would be dead, and under this pressure they completely fortified the tower.

The Crippled Claw, who was in charge of the center command, also activated all the traps in the mage tower, turning this place into a complete place of death.

The members of the Big Bird Corps and the Silver Moon Corps spent three hours breaching the first floor, only to trigger a vicious trap when they stepped onto the second floor of the mage tower, and the terrifying plague toxin enveloped the entire first floor in an instant.

If it wasn’t for Lady Water’s quick reaction, and her immediate decision to team up with Brother Belly to release a Dispel Spell to stop the rapid spread of the fierce poison, otherwise this damn plague attack alone would have been enough to wipe out the already quite exhausted Raider group on the spot.

Luckily, they had enough antidotes ready, so they were able to withdraw from the Warlock Tower after leaving several corpses behind.

When they withdrew, both Lady Water, who was the main healer, and Brother Belly, who was the secondary healer, were paralyzed with exhaustion.

Mrs. Water was carried on Orchid’s back, and she had already gone offline to rest.

Brother Belly wasn’t treated so well, being carried by Brother Xiao Fu behind the wounded Scorpion Lion as he limped out of the danger zone.

“Can’t fight, can’t fight a bit.”

On the way out of Plague Town, Black Silk Brother, who was carrying the Vam Decapitator as the vanguard of the broken formation, said with a vegetable face:
“That motherfucking terrain is so screwed up mentally, the steps of the Mage Tower only allow three people to pass through side by side, and there’s absolutely no way for you to charge up when people block the entrance on the second floor. The physics engine of this damn game is so real that we don’t even have a chance to ‘card through the mold’, we can only use human life to pile up.”

“Tough fight indeed.”

The ever-optimistic Orchid would be full of frustration this time, she carried Lady Water and stared back at the shadowy and unsettling Warlock Tower behind her again, gritting her teeth and saying:

“If there’s enough explosives we might be able to try an internal blast, at least shape the terrain in our favor, and the blasts will still cover off the traps that can’t be defended against.

I’m just glad now that this mage tower is in such disrepair that the jackals weren’t able to fully repair its internal defense mechanisms.

I heard Missy say earlier that a qualified mage tower should include a minimum of five autonomous defensive psychic cores and be able to summon elemental creatures or otherworldly creatures to overwhelm the intruders in the event of an invasion.

According to Missy, the difficulty of trying to attack a mage tower with mages stationed in it is no less than attacking a heavily armed fortress.

I now believe that statement.

A dilapidated mage tower is so difficult to fight, in the future if you travel the continent and encounter a real mage tower how can you get down to gnawing on it, the power pool of this game was simple at first glance, but now that I look back it’s really deep.”

“I blame Uncle Loyalty for not being powerful!”

Flying in the air, Little Reed Name complained irritably:

“If he could make a heavy siege cannon, we wouldn’t have to kill anyone to fill it in, we could just blast it from the outside! If a hundred shells aren’t enough, let’s have a thousand! Spiritualists are humans too, I don’t believe they can hold out forever.”

“Alas, it’s time for Stick’s team to go up next, but I don’t think there’s much they can do in the face of this mage tower armed like a hedgehog, they can only chew on it bit by bit.”

Sister Pomegranate rubbed her brow very tiredly as she said with a rare sense of exhaustion:
“But according to this current progress, there are only eight days left, it’s impossible to take this town, there are still construct towers behind the warlock tower.

Now that the Warlock Tower is this difficult, I can’t even imagine how strong the final boss in the Tectonic Tower should be?
I didn’t feel the difficulty before when both groups had NPC assistance, but now after Lord Murphy and his group of capable mainline NPC allies are missing, the pressure of this combat has instantly drawn full.”

“Maybe that’s the intention of the development team too.”

The bard Lumina, who had been playing a musical piece to add status to her companions, whacked her long legs while saying:

“They purposely set up two stages for the ‘Shadow of the Swamp’ event didn’t they? If we can’t manage it we’ll refresh the powerful NPCs to intervene in the raiding process.

I have enough reason to suspect that!
If we can’t manage to take Plague Town after eight days, Lord Murphy will refresh here on the spot and help us attack in it.

While it would be easy to beat this copy with his assistance, that would also mean that the players are not currently strong enough to move around the continent on their own without the NPCs.

I suspect that this raid is actually a ‘stress test’ .
You guys remember that Fat mentioned something on the forums earlier, he said that the plot advancement of Real Otherworld is non-linear, and that once the Black Plague is over, the entire continent’s map will be completely open to players, and at that point we won’t always be able to stay in Transylvania, the newbie village.

We’ll have to make our way around the continent on our own, and this copy of Plague Town in front of us is used to test the strength of the current players.

If we can’t solve it on our own, I suspect that the development team will probably make some adjustments when they open new maps.

For example, sealing off some overly dangerous places and not allowing us to enter them for the time being.

But if we can complete this guide by ourselves, it means that we will have the power to protect ourselves even when wandering around the continent, and then the development team won’t put obstacles in the way of dangerous areas.

I don’t have proof of this, but according to the past development group’s steady style of doing things, I have reason to believe that this is their scenario.

At least one of the scenarios.

So, no matter how hard it is, we’re going to try to complete this raid on our own! This is for the sake of being unfettered when traveling on the big map later on.”

“You make a good point, little Lumi.”

Little Hands, the chief assassin of the Big Bird Corps, said with a sigh:
“However the problem won’t become easier just because we know the reason, the strength of the monsters is there, and with the current average level of the players, people can’t really handle it.

If we want to successfully complete this copy, we need to be able to scrape together five to ten Silver Leaders among us.

Otherwise, the strength and combat AI of the monsters in the Warlock Tower just now, there’s no way we can penetrate their defenses, let alone spread out the formation and use tactics.

Or maybe it’s okay for everyone to gather all the elites from the three battle fronts together, make a large regiment out of it, and press through with absolute numbers maybe.”

“Let’s see first.”

Orchid waved her hand and said:

“If we can’t break the Warlock Tower by the end of today’s raid, I’m guessing Stick will make that suggestion tonight.

He’s a pragmatist, and we have to trust his judgment in that regard.

But there’s really nothing we can do on the student party’s side.

The path they chose was really troublesome, there was no way to get around all those psychic traps, and when I looked after we entered the Warlock Tower just now, the switch to turn off those traps was probably on the third floor or higher of the Warlock Tower, and there was nothing obvious to interact with on the first or second floors anyway.

So the progress of the three fronts of the raid is actually tied together.

The devs are real chicken shits.

And there’s another problem, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, the number of Jackal Warlocks in Plague Town is off! It seriously doesn’t match the scouting information we got earlier.

Thorn Nightwalker said that there were more than a hundred Jackal Warlocks in the town, but as we’ve seen, it would be good to have sixty Jackals in the Warlock Tower.

Where did the rest of those plague warlocks go? They can’t all be crammed into the Tectonic Tower, can they?

That tower is so small, there’s no way it could hold that many people.”

Speaking of this, Orchid rubbed her forehead and said:
“I always feel as if we’ve overlooked some very important intelligence information, there are some very important things about this town and in this incident that I haven’t noticed.

It’s like a piece of the puzzle is missing, and I feel that there should be the key to breaking the game.”

“Don’t think about it, your brain will explode if you think about it anymore.”

Little Reed Name shouted in self-loathing:

“Let’s go, let’s go to the campground to rest, take a bath to relax, you’ve been frowning for the past few days and you’ve got wrinkles.”

“Ah? Really? Then I’ll hurry offline to put on a mask.”
—
“Stick’s people have already entered the Warlock Tower… Little Reed Name and the girls aren’t progressing well, and it took them four or five hours to break through the first floor of the Warlock Tower. According to the information disclosed by Little Reed Name and Sister Pomegranate, the Jackal Warlocks have turned their tower into a place of death. Everyone was now pessimistic.

Brother Stick said that the most optimistic about their progress today would only be able to purge the second floor of the Warlock Tower, brothers, it’s time for us to perform!”

In the Swamp Forbidden Land, Badger, who was sitting in the Giant Serpent’s Lair, exited from the forums, and he looked back at his brothers behind him, who had already finished their preparations in full armor, and then copied a wooden stick and pointed at the simple map at his feet, and said:
“Stick’s raid will last for six hours, and now two hours have passed, so we’re leaving in two hours!

It’s at least a forty-minute flight from here to Plague Town, and we’ll also have to attract the Giant Snake’s attention along the way, lure it to the west side of Plague Town from this road, and wait until Missy finishes her Spiritual Energy Counteraction so that it can rush in through the west gate.

Whoever takes the last hit, remember that you’d better drop that egg into the Warlock Tower!

That way, the giant snake will surely attack that tower in a frenzy.

I’ve already given Mr. Lee and Curse Blue’s side the go-ahead, once our ‘Nash Baron’ starts charging the tower, our people will start attacking the town in sync as well.

If everything goes well, the giant snake will charge all the way over there enough to set off all the traps on the way, so all the problems that plagued us will cease to exist!”

Badger dropped the stick in his hand and rubbed his hands together:

“So, the most wonderful outcome is that the Warlock Tower is destroyed in its entirety, and all that remains in front of everyone is the last small constructed tower in Plague Town.

There’s at best one last BOSS in there, and even grinding it with eight days left will kill it!”

“But the giant snake will die, right?”

The animal-loving Vampire Hunter Meow Shark said with some impatience:

“It’s already injured, attacking a mage tower again it’s probable that it won’t survive, isn’t it a bit too much for us to do so?”

“Do you think if we don’t do this, this ‘Baron Nash’ will survive?”

Che Che sighed and reached out to take Meowshark’s shoulder as he said:
“You saw how that group of jackals out there ‘stuck the bug’, and while I don’t know why the giant snake didn’t cross the forbidden land to fuck them, the fact remains that if it continues like this, that giant snake will get weaker and weaker and eventually be finished off by the jackal warlocks in a shameless way.

It could be said that in the current situation, the death of the giant snake was doomed.

Its injuries weren’t even naturally occurring, there are still more hidden stories on this giant snake, our current weak power can at most give the giant snake a decent death.

Let it die with the vicious jackals, at least it is better than letting it die so suffocatingly.

Besides, didn’t we all take that quest?”

Che Che reached out and touched the stone dome that was placed in front of everyone’s eyes as he whispered:

“We will definitely complete this hidden quest and hatch out this thousand year old egg, so that the Giant Snake’s heir can continue to live in this forbidden land!
It’s the same as us signing a contract with the giant snake.”

“I think why don’t we try it first?”

The cooing chicken next to him rubbed his chin and said:
“We can’t be sure that the giant snake will follow us just because of the egg, so why don’t we go outside and take a look first, and use the egg to lure the giant snake to cross the forbidden land to get those damn jackal warlocks killed, just as a way to give it some air?”

“Good idea! Let’s do it!”

Pigeon Treasure looked at the time on the player interface and said:

“Everyone will go offline to eat this time, and gather online in an hour, let’s try out what the giant snake can do before we start this big raid to drive away the wolves and tigers.”

“Ch, what kind of mountainous food do you need an hour to eat?”

Che Che said contemptuously:

“Thirty minutes for a serving of chow mein is enough, I can’t help but want to see those damn jackal warlocks eat their own words already Brothers, hurry up and fuck them!

And lick the bag to pick up a drop by the way.

This time we’re expected to die several people, consider it as an early blood return.”

“What else is there to eat? Bah, I, Goo Goo Chicken, have never been able to see this kind of bullying of fools in my life, and this kind of righteousness that will be done fills my whole body with power.

We’ll eat after we get this done!

After we get the copies done, we’ll go to cha barbecue tonight! My treat!”

Cuckoo Chicken stood up and patted his chest, his bravado causing the other dormitory brothers to hoot and holler.

They helped Cuckoo Chicken carry the stone egg on his back, this thing belongs to the “special item”, there is no way to include it in the psychic bag or even through the teleportation spell, so it can only be messed up this way.

Fortunately, although it was huge, it wasn’t heavy, not as heavy as the bombs carried during the previous bombing.

“I’ll go first, you guys follow behind, and when I hang up you’ll keep flying with the egg.”

The cooing chicken bounced in place to test the strength of the bundles, and after confirming that everything was okay, he flapped his wings and hovered in the air, speaking to the rest of his brothers:

“From the current situation down, this might be our only chance to take Plague Town before the NPCs intervene! Brothers, no matter what the cost, we must take it down! This Hall of Fame Phase 1, we’re in for sure!
So.
See you in the Hall of Fame, gentlemen!”

Cuckoo Chicken cried out with fervor, and after assuming an accelerating stance in the air, like the outrageous acceleration in the cartoon, he whooshed and flew out, followed by the other brothers who formed an “escort formation”.

In the hiding Murphy’s watch, his brave little players all the way to leap over the forbidden land everywhere, even the surrounding small animals seem to be aware of the big event will come.

The monkeys on either side of them wailed and screeched from the trees, and the swamp tigers let out a low growl that seemed to be blessing the vampire warriors.

“Those dogs are still bullying the stupid giant snake! I see it!”

Cheche shouted from the air a few minutes later:

“Up! Goo Goo Chicken, show them some color! Let’s get these bad hearted dogs to buy melons for the stupid giant snake!”

“That’s coming!”

The goo goo chicken carrying the giant egg laughed and accelerated again.

As he approached the edge of the battlefield where Ninkinanka and the Vicious Jackal were entangled, the Giant Serpent that was frantically attacking those undead cannon fodder tilted its head up with an ow, its black jewel-like eyes staring intently in the direction of the Goo Goo Chicken.

Obviously.

It detected the scent of the egg in its nest approaching.

The instinct stemming from protecting its pups made the giant snake even more frantic, recklessly rushing through the trapped defense line that the Jackal Warlocks had carefully laid out towards the direction of the cooing chickens wailing and spewing venom.

The terrifying rain of venom even stained half of the sky with a dark green color, making it impossible to hide!

The two psychics, Che Che and Pigeon Treasure, accelerated forward and simultaneously raised their defensive spells, using the light red shield-type psychic energy wall to help the goo goo chickens block the toxin spray, and then in the midst of the dark green poisonous gas being sprayed in the sky, they shaped a safe path for a downward assault.

The vampire warrior with the giant egg on his back managed to break the speed of sound after three accelerations, and like a stringed arrow grazing the roaring serpent, he scurried towards the position where the jackal warlocks were hiding.

The giant snake followed closely behind.

It clearly hesitated as it approached the edge of the forbidden land.

Ancient memories constrained it not to cross the boundary drawn by the Curator, but the scent of the egg was like a bait pulling it across the ancient border that had long since expired, and after less than two seconds of hesitation, the snake stepped beyond the boundary for the first time of its own accord.

This scene made the Jackal Warlocks, who were addicted to “bugs”, feel shocked.

They could not understand what was happening.

But they knew that they were finished.

The jackal warlocks were amazed as they watched the goo goo chicken carry the egg in the air and let out a villainous laugh. Those with quick reflexes were already trying to open the teleportation, while those with slow reflexes were still trying to swing their bone staffs and command the undead around them to surround and try to finish off the goo goo chicken that “threw itself into the net”.

“Foolish thing, malicious bugs have their price! Let me punish you severely on behalf of the development team! Die! Die!”

The Goo Goo Chicken also purposely reduced its speed as it approached the Jackals’ position.

With malice in the air, he made a throat-slitting gesture at the Jackal Warlocks below.

The second before the serpent behind his back once again built up its strength and sprayed a rain of venom, the nimble vampire made a high altitude climb to avoid it perfectly, however, the moment the rain of venom fell, it melted the three jackal warlocks who couldn’t dodge in time into the original place.

“Ha! The first phase of the Wolf and Tiger Exorcism Campaign was a perfect success!”

Cuckoo Chicken exclaimed:

“Brothers, Plague Town is already in our pocket Crap! Why is it still instantaneous? Blanch, I’m blinded. Quickly! Meow Shark, take over! Brothers, I’m hanging up. I’ll leave it to you afterward!

See you in the Hall of Fame!”
