"Booster … Booster?"
The three Hunters on Rose's side didn't understand Silver's words because Jiang Qiao didn't translate it. Therefore, in their ears, Silver's words … were in an alien language.
"Is that so …" Mr. Yin quickly realized that the three Hunters didn't understand the meaning of the term "substitute training." He pondered for a moment why this term wasn't translated, then smiled and gave another answer. "You can think of us as invaders on the path of ascension."
Invaders!
That word was far more terrifying than the threat of booster, and one of the Hunters had already determined the Players' identity from the special destructive power they displayed.
"You're the last descendants of the Godeater God?
Damn it … That rumor is true! "The hunter who recognized the identity of the Players tensed up again.
"Stop!
Rikal … They're not enemies! "
Rosh very calmly stood in front of Boss Yin, indicating that the three Hunter team members shouldn't be too nervous.
"Not enemies?
Captain Rose, are you really as they say? Did you betray us and join the Godeater God's faction? "The Hunter who trusted Rose was clearly shaken.
The Godeater God had a terrible reputation on the star map. Even if it had fallen countless years ago, the Path of Ascension still had some illusions of battles with the last descendants of the Godeater God. That was why these veteran Hunters had a deep experience of how cruel the last descendants of the Godeater God were.
They might even be crueler than the Void Zergs who had no concept of morality.
That was why the three Hunters were very nervous. Now, they had been 'taken care' of by the last descendants of the Godeater God on the Path of Ascension.
But that nervousness was broken by a fluffy rabbit who jumped out from the side.
"Ugh … Can't we all talk nicely, it's rude to point guns at others."
Fluffy Rabbit, the player with the highest Charisma in the entire server, had an outstanding effect at that moment with her insanely high Charisma.
Even if there was a female among the three Hunters, the fluffy rabbit relaxed a little because of her pitiful expression.
Charm!
It was definitely charm!
Before the three hunters could speak, Mo Shigui, the president of Leaping Nucleus, wiped the bloodstained sword in his hand and came to their side.
"I'm afraid not."
Mo Shigui looked at the three Hunters and said, "We can't guarantee that we can pass this trial in one go, so can we trouble you to withdraw?"
"Leave …"
"It's … it's just that we've already reached the maximum number of players for this dungeon. Can you guys be ghosts and hack for a while?"
The fluffy rabbit once again intervened in the conversation between the two parties. Mo Shigui really did not want to spend time negotiating with these hunters.
As there were only 20 seconds left before the dungeon battle officially began, Mo Shigui's plan was to kill off the three Hunters as well.
"You guys back off. We're sure to win." Fluffy Rabbit continued to act cute.
The dungeon in Path of Ascension had a mechanism called 'House Owner', which Leaping Nucleus had spent a lot of time testing.
It meant that Rose was the current house owner of this dungeon, so Rose alone had 45 qualifications. Including her … Rose could invite another 44 people to participate in the dungeon raid.
There was no limit to the number of invitees. Even if Rose invited her own teacher, Alma, to enter the dungeon, it wouldn't be a problem.
However, the clearance of Path of Ascension was very sneaky. It would only give the best three people in this dungeon the right to be promoted.
So if Rose pulled her own teacher into the room, then Alma would definitely be the one to be promoted. The remaining 44 people were all employees.
The members of Leaping Nucleus had entered the Path of Ascension with Rose's soul signature code, so from the Path of Ascension's judgement, there were 44 Rose Shes in the room.
Once the countdown was over, the Path of Ascension's detection mechanism would instantly kick out members who exceeded the limit of 45 people. It was unknown whether it was the players from Leaping Nucleus or the three Hunters who were kicked out.
'An additional NPC has been detected. Would you like to move him to the spectator area?'
This prompt suddenly popped up in front of Mo Shigui.
There was a spectator area?
Mo Shigui didn't even think about it before he clicked 'yes' … So the three Hunters didn't even have time to refute Mo Shigui's words. A dark blue flame burned under their feet.
"What did you do?"
The Hunters were frightened by the flames burning under their feet, but the flames quickly spread to their whole bodies. They wanted to scream in pain, but found that the flames didn't hurt at all.
In less than three seconds, their bodies became translucent.
"This is ghost mode. The bosses can just watch our performance from the spectator area." Fluffy Rabbit continued to act cute.
But on the other side, Boss Yin took out an item that looked like a Rubik's Cube from his backpack and threw this dark purple Rubik's Cube to Rose.
"Your Living Armor. This is your Path of Ascension promotion match. Perform well, Contestant Rose." Boss Yin had already begun to speak to Rose in the tone of a boss.
Rose didn't respond and directly activated her Living Armor. The dark purple Rubik's Cube began to twist and distort. In less than a second, her entire body was covered in the same color hardened shell.
"Tell me the mission, the goal, and what exactly do I have to do."
Rosh could feel the power transmitted by the Living Armor on her body, and the coldness in her body was completely swept away at this moment.
From this moment on, she once again became that … NPC who could reach the top 20 of the Holy Spirit Ladder.
At this moment, the Instance Dungeon's preparation countdown had ended. From the distance came the howling of the swarm of Zergs. Mo Shigui had already made the guild members get ready.
Rose also quickly rushed to her position under Mo Shigui's command.
Outside the four-meter-tall city wall, a large group of Void Zergs had already occupied all the land within sight.
Among all the Natural Disasters, the Void Zergs and Abyssal Aberrations were the two Natural Disasters that posed the greatest threat to ordinary Holy Spirits. At the same time, they were also the Natural Disasters that covered the largest area in the star map.
These Zergs' reproduction speed and destructive power were extremely shocking, but the Void Zergs that attacked the Skegrim Fortress weren't some low-level Zergs. They were all a group of high-level Zergs with their own intelligence.
This was a difficult offensive and defensive battle, but the elite Clearers of the Jumping Nucleus had already cleared the Instance Dungeon three times before Rose leveled it.
The moment the battle began, the Holy Spirits showed Rose and her three Hunter team members what was called … a player-style team battle.
The Holy Spirit Instance Dungeon did not break away from the framework of Tank, Mage, and Priest, or it could be said that the players were used to this form of fighting.
The Jumping Nucleus' Instance Dungeon was of course the most basic fighting method of Iron Triangle between Priest and Priest. But here, Tank was just a synonym for a position. There were countless classes that could be qualified for this position in the Holy Spirits. Mage was synonymous with damage output.
But in the eyes of the group of Hunters, this kind of violent fighting method was something that they couldn't understand.
Especially some of the God Eater's distorted laws … such as the taunt mechanism.
Delicious White Snake directly threw out a large area of effect Shururu that she had made. This was a unique taunt puppet skill of the Witch. Delicious White Snake had made a targeted equipment before entering the Instance Dungeon.
The range of this Shururu's taunt was so large that it could attract all the Void Zergs outside the city wall.
When the Zergs ran madly towards an alpaca-like puppet in front of the formation, Mo Shigui directly gave the order to carpet bomb.
Three different Satellite Beams fell from the sky. The characteristics of a player's equipment could completely change the characteristics of a skill. Obviously, the Launchers in the team had their own specialties.
Among the three micro-beams, one had an AoE effect, while the other had an AoE effect. Most importantly, the Satellite Beam in the middle had the highest priority of gathering monsters.
The long-range attack team on the city wall mercilessly released their AoE skills. For a moment, the surrounding area around the city wall was enveloped in a scorching heat.
But this lasted no more than twenty seconds.
"Awakening CD46 seconds."
"CD67 seconds."
"Everyone advance to the second stage!"
Mo Shigui gave the order again. The Clearers who were originally aiming outside the city wall instantly turned their attention to the Stronghold inside the city wall.
A gigantic void insectoid suddenly emerged from the ground inside the fortress. On the head of this insectoid stood a humanoid insectoid.
"600 seconds countdown. The first echelon of DPS can go up now," Mo Shigui shouted in the party channel.
Rose was also a member of the first echelon of DPS. She didn't ask for the reason behind this decision. The Holy Spirits were very reckless in battle.
In Rose's eyes, it was like a suicide mission. A heavily armored player rushing into a swarm of Zergs with a bunch of healers healing him was something that would never happen in real life.
But … it was very common in the game. Even a Holy Spirit's resurrection spell could be instantly revived.
Mo Shigui was able to memorize the cooldown time of all the Players' skills, and could accurately call out the enemy's situation and what skills they needed to use to deal with them. Mo Shigui was able to memorize the cooldown time of all the Players' skills, and accurately call out what skills they needed to use.
The gigantic Zerg and the humanoid Zerg in the center of the base were the first Boss, at least from the players' point of view. If they weren't killed within ten minutes, the Zerg Sappers would receive a terrifying BUFF when they rushed in.
That was no different from being wiped.
But the first echelon of DPS did it.
Rosh joined forces with the 12 Holy Spirits to complete this mission, which was 20 seconds faster than the time it took to clear the dungeon.
[Void Predator killed]
[Void Behemoth killed]
[Void Singularity formed above the Stronghold.]
"Second stage complete. Retreat!
Move to the next map, "Mo Shigui ordered as he saw a dark purple anomaly appear above the Stronghold.
Retreat?
Where could they retreat to?
When Rosh heard the order, she pulled her hand out of the Void Predator's body. In the end, the players around her didn't say a word and ran deeper into the fortress.
"We'll be blocked by the Zerg army if we do this!" Rose couldn't help but ask.
But no one answered her. Rose could only follow the Clearers into the Stronghold. As the Stronghold's gate closed, an ear-piercing crash came from outside.
"This gate won't last long!" Rose said.
"You don't have to hold on for long. The second room's boss is deep in the Stronghold. Once you kill all the monsters, you'll lose control. Then, it'll be easy to fight the third room's boss." Manager Yin took the time to explain.
"Room 2's … Boss?
Void Overmind?
There's no way we can kill that thing in 10 minutes. "
Rose obviously knew what kind of Boss was in the Stronghold. She just hadn't personally experienced this Instance Dungeon, but she had read a few Instance Dungeon guides.
"With that thing's HP, it'll take half an hour to an hour. It's really troublesome," Yin said.
"What about the Void Zergs outside?
The Singularity will continuously send Void Zergs over! "Rose asked.
"Let's fight together. This is the difficult part of this Instance Dungeon. The output cycle can't be broken at all. If it's broken, we'll be wiped. Fortunately, we have a humanoid cooldown timer." Yin pointed at Mo Shigui who was running at the front of the party.
Can't be broken … Rose had always been thinking about the definition of a war machine. Hunters were also living creatures. They would feel mental and physical exhaustion due to excessive fighting. But these Holy Spirits didn't seem to exist?
Instead, they became more excited as they fought.
"Void Core, this item is what I want!
It wasn't easy for me to roll 98!
Who stole my ingredients? "The Delicious White Snake suddenly asked loudly when she was halfway through her run.
The pace of this Instance Dungeon was very tight. No one had time to rest and split the equipment, so they could only split the items dropped by the Void Predators and Void Beasts along the way.
"Oh, sorry, I got 100 points," Fluffy Rabbit said.
"Why do you want a Void Core as a Cleric?!"
"This thing can be used by Clerics too."
"What … are they discussing?"
Rose looked at White Snake and Fluffy Rabbit who were about to fight as she ran. She was very worried about the teamwork of this party.
"It's probably about the distribution of loot. It's normal for Holy Spirits to fight each other because of this."
Jiang Qiao's movement speed was the slowest in the team. Boss Yin and Wanxiang were also the slowest, so after Rose brought up the rear for Boss Yin, the four of them ran together and could casually talk about some insignificant things.
Was there anyone in the mood to talk about loot now?
Rose glanced at the Holy Spirits running in front of her. Not only were they in the mood to talk about who the loot belonged to, but they were also in the mood to set off fireworks and jump up and down …
Very cheerful.
This was the only adjective Rosh could think of. These Holy Spirits did not look like they were facing a desperate battle surrounded by the Void Insects at all. Instead, it was as if they had come here for a sightseeing tour and killed a few bugs in passing.
