Chapter 143: The First Battle between the Wage Taker and the Player

Chapter 143: The First Battle between the Wage Taker and the Player
【Firewood Taker·Crock Man】

[Grade: Burning Charcoal]

[Explanation: A firewood snatcher of unknown origin, with a clay pot replacing the head, and strange abilities that may not be measured by common sense.]

【Touch in a Jar】

[Rank: Slag]

【Level: 21】

[Talent: Tentacles in the Secret Jar (its tentacles have many unknown effects)]

[Skill: None]

[Explanation: This is a strange creature that the Crock Man has nurtured in a special way. Although it has almost no intelligence, its strange attack method is still a considerable threat.]

With the help of the information provided by the spirit candle, everyone also saw the information about the clay pot man and the monster it summoned.

Although the information of the monsters it summoned was clear, the Firestealer was still mysterious. Only its rank was revealed. For example, there was no way of knowing the effect and name of the "Heart-Digger" skill it had just used.

"Don't look him in the eye!" The pony ghost next to him quickly reminded him. He couldn't be resurrected for the time being, so he just happened to be the commander of the fountain and warned him: "His skill of digging out the heart is a hard control!"

"...This thing doesn't seem to have eyes, how can it look at each other..." His partner player couldn't help but mutter.

"Oh no, two melee players, this is going to be hard to fight!" another player became worried.

He didn't doubt the strength of Zhan Doushuang and Bu Long.

But the terrain conditions were too harsh for them, and the opponent summoned obvious sea monsters, so even their frogman players found it difficult to gain an advantage.

"It was a tough fight."

The Black Mountain Demon muttered to himself, but did not show any nervousness. After thinking for a moment, he spread out his palms.

Three magic beads and a segment of the index finger suddenly appeared in his hand.

After the three magic beads entered the activation position, the ashes began to flow, and in the blink of an eye, three hideous and terrifying subordinate monsters appeared.

Wow!

The huge body crashed into the water, and the winding body floated to the surface, with the hideous and terrifying four-petal mouthparts facing the clay jar man.

The main creatures of Sea Area No. 1—deep-sea worms!
Wow!

Waves splashed again, and a monster with a huge agile tail and tentacles showed half of its head and hid in the shadows.

Giant tail sea monster!
As for the last subordinate monster, it is much more ordinary, because it is just an ordinary Iron Blade Turtle, an ordinary marine monster.

Next came the novice truant coolie who could float in the air, and the resentful ghost giant.

These huge movements one after another directly attracted the attention of everyone present for a moment.

“Oh my god…” The frogman player was dumbfounded, and then suddenly opened his eyes wide: “It’s the kryptonian who bought the giant tail sea monster and the golden bull!”

After hearing what he said, Xiao Ma suddenly connected the origin of this player named Black Mountain Little Demon.

Is the summoner's bloodline strong?
The answer is yes, because no matter where he is, the Summoner's ability to summon monsters is beyond the standard. If it reaches the current upper limit of the grade "Slag", he can summon three subordinate monsters at a time.

Although subsequent tests by players have revealed that subordinate creatures of the same level are weaker in attributes than the original version, which is equivalent to the difference between players and boss creatures, the strength of the Evoker is still undeniable.

If it is so powerful, why aren't there more people who play the Summoner school than the Explosive Bull school?
The reason is very simple - it is difficult to form.

A novice summoner who enters the game will find that, let alone condensing a magic bead of a powerful monster, even getting a magic bead of an ordinary murloc requires a lot of effort and good luck.

This naturally makes most summoned players feel like they are in prison.

But there is one type of player who clearly isn't bothered by this.

That's the krypton gold boss.

Although Lingzhu currently does not have any recharge channels, the saying still applies: where there are people, there is the world; where there is demand, there is a market; there are always people willing to spend money for fun.

The Black Mountain Demon is one of them.

The original magic beads guarded by the giant-tailed sea monster and the golden bull were acquired by him.

If there is no shortage of magic beads, then there will naturally be no shortage of wax oil.

Therefore, the Black Mountain Demon rose rapidly, and not only the number and types of magic beads, but also the levels were directly raised to the highest in the current version.

No wonder! No wonder the three sea monsters that came out at once were a perfect match for the current battlefield situation.

It’s good to have fucking money!
I didn’t expect that this krypton gold tycoon was actually invited here by them!
Steady!

Just as these thoughts flashed through Xiao Ma's mind.

The battle between the two sides is about to break out!
As a big spender, the Black Mountain Demon did not show a condescending attitude. Instead, he used the huge body of his subordinate creatures to provide convenience on the battlefield for Zhan Doushuang and Bu Long, and launched an attack on the clay jar man.

Facing several aggressive players, the clay pot man did not seem panicked, and even no emotion could be seen from his actions.

He knocked on the jar again, trying to use the same old trick to forcibly attract everyone's attention in order to achieve that mysterious controlling effect.

But this time he clearly miscalculated.

Although his head-banging behavior can forcefully draw everyone's attention, his heart-to-heart skill has a clear range and can only work on the front.

The Black Mountain Demon was not among them. He directly ordered the deep-sea worms to launch a surprise attack, trying to kill them directly.

However, facing the attack from below, the clay pot people paid no attention.

Because a Touch in a Jar had already sneaked under his boat.

Faced with the deep-sea worms attacking at a high speed, a tentacle of the Tentacle in the Jar stretched out, emitting a strange light, and its body began to expand rapidly.

Almost in an instant, it turned into a monster as big as a deep-sea worm.

In the sea, two giants collided with each other and began to entangle fiercely.

In an instant, the waves surged and the entire ocean surged with them.

However, although the deep-sea worm failed to succeed, the giant-tailed sea monster of the Black Mountain Demon seized the opportunity and launched a tricky-angle attack on the clay jar man.

Bang!
The sound of pottery jars breaking could be heard.

Another Touch in the Jar blocked this attack.

The frogman among the three players was also not idle. He threw a powerful fishbone fork from a safe distance.

Although it's still useless.

But the clay jar man seemed to realize that such a battle would put him in a passive position, so he simply put down the hand that was holding his heart.

"Hoo! Cough cough cough!"

"Fuck, what kind of skill is this so abnormal? Burning fire can only offset a small part?"

After losing the clamp, Zhan Doushuang and the others finally got rid of the weak and suffocating feeling of control and breathed a sigh of relief.

The attack of the clay jar man seems to be completely different from ordinary magic.

Not only does it not have any attack trajectory like Starlight, it can't be blocked by a shield, and Warfire can only reduce some damage.

But the good news is that this kind of control can still be struggled against. If one's own strength is strong enough, it is not impossible to break free in a short period of time.

The reason why they seem so powerful is probably because the clay pot people are one level higher than them.

Bang!
The waves were surging, and the battle between the two behemoths continued.

“Damn it, it’s just a trick!” Mangzi gritted his teeth and turned to look at the Black Mountain Demon: “Brother, give me a hand, I’m going to chop him to death!”

The Black Mountain Demon nodded.

The next moment, the two sides engaged in another fierce confrontation!

The clay jar man also displayed more strange methods.

The clay pot on his head shattered itself, splitting into countless tiles that floated around his body, like sharp flying blades, flying across the battlefield.

The Tentacle in the Jar also displays various abilities depending on the choice of tentacle.

Self-destruction, teleportation, poison gas, or freezing and slowing down, there are too many to handle.

While other players were dealing with it, Black Mountain Little Demon's group of summons directly acted as temporary stepping stones in the sea.

Mangzi Ge and Zhan Doushuang also used these stepping stones to move around. During the war, they accumulated strength and directly smashed a tentacles in the jar.

But the clay pot man responded quickly.

As he threw out a clay jar, his entire body and the boat shrank into the jar above his head, and the next moment, he appeared in another place.

This clay pot man seems to be closer to the role of a "caster".

The players' attributes were not as good as those so-called NPCs, and they entered as helpers, so both the summoned creatures and the players themselves soon showed signs of fatigue.

Even so, their rich combat experience coupled with the wax block recovery and dodge and block mechanisms still made the battle between them and the clay pot people difficult to resolve.

But this stalemate did not last long.

Because the clay jar man directly used his killing move.

puff!

Under everyone's eyes, the sharp and pointed pottery fragments directly split open the chest of the clay pot man, and the white and gold monk was stained with blood.

In the midst of the scarlet blood, the silent clay pot man reached out his hand without hesitation and pinched his heart again.

The players thought he was going to repeat his old tricks and tried to stop him.

But something shocking soon happened.

The clay pot man pulled his heart out of his chest. With his blood vessels and flesh torn apart and his heart still beating vigorously, he burst into flames and squeezed it with all his strength.

Bang!
The players present suddenly felt a burst of blood in their eyes, as if a basin of sticky blood was splashed on their faces. Multiple wounds appeared on their bodies, and strange blood was flowing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Waguan people launched a full-scale counterattack.

Tear!

The tentacles in the jar were fighting fiercely with the deep-sea worm, tearing its body apart frantically, and blood, flesh and tissue were constantly spilling.

puff!

Brother Mangzi looked at the bloody hand that pierced his chest and felt a little bit unbelievable.

Bulong and another player were also killed instantly by the Touch in the Jar.

The moment the incident happened, Black Mountain Little Demon's expression changed and he shouted to the other two players, "Go to Lingzhu, teleport away!"

As helpers, even if they died, they would only lose candle charcoal.

But Xiao Ma and his friends had no way to summon other players for help in the short term.

Without their help, it would be difficult for them to deal with not only the clay jar people, but even the Touch in the Jar.

That’s why the Black Mountain Demon issued a reminder.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

After the three helping players turned into ashes and disappeared, the bloody hands of the clay jar man directly strangled the necks of the two players.

After a moment, the two players also turned into small jars.

The clay pot man silently put the broken heart back into the atrium and took out the worm to clamp the wound.

But the blood continued to flow, and other internal organs were also wriggling.

The man in the clay pot was not at all panicked. He raised his hand and a thing in the pot returned to his hand.

The next moment he smashed a tentacles in the jar, and the strange liquid in black, purple and red colors, along with unknown internal organs, flowed directly into his throat.

"what……"

A shrill wailing sound came from the tentacles in the jar. The tentacles on it kept flapping, but they did not dare to struggle at all.

The wounds of the clay pot man quickly scabbed and healed.

After doing all this, under the gaze of the other three players' wandering souls, he actually came to the location of the milestone spirit candle and casually threw out an earthen jar.

The clay pot swayed in the air for a moment, gradually becoming transparent until it disappeared.

"Fuck, what is this bitch doing?"

"to mark?"

"He seems to know the location of the milestone candle?"

"Damn it, I really lost this time. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have fought. Why bother shaking him? I should have just run away!"

"..."

Xiao Ma and others felt extremely painful.

The saddest one among them was Xiao Ma. He had to cover his mouth to stop himself from crying so loudly.

Gone... all gone...

What the hell is this? I have to be the eighth brother again!
Finally, the vortex portal opened, and the three could only watch as the clay jar man left without any reluctance, taking the three clay jars containing the bodies of the Candle Spirits.

The first head-on confrontation between the Wage Taker and the player ended with the Wage Taker's complete victory...

……

Roger watched all this silently.

He could help, but he didn't have to.

This clay jar man does not have any special research value.

There was already enough feedback from the last burning, and there would be no additional gains from burning an identical one this time.

The mastermind behind the Clay Pot Man was prepared.

Forces such as the Wage Takers and the Shadow of Fool have already noticed them, and such incidents will only become more and more frequent in the future.

Players cannot always rely on him to come to the rescue. Giving up their own development and research on other things to become the fire captain is putting the cart before the horse.

If he wants to be a babysitter, then what is he summoning players for?

Rogge is willing to pay some price to let the players suffer a little in order to grow.

Furthermore, never underestimate the self-thinking ability and subjective initiative of these players...

……

The world chat has exploded.

"What the hell? You've never fought before?! What are you doing? I told you not to take my spot!"

"Knock on the head, black tiger digs out the heart, heart pops open? What kind of skills does this clay pot have? It's too fucking weird..."

"I don't care what bastard is under this shit jar, this is not an excuse for you to lose the battle!"

"..."

Although the words were fierce, the players were mostly joking. After all, this was a virtual reality game and they would meet each other sooner or later. It wouldn't be as serious as the online quarrels of the past.

But there is definitely teasing and sarcasm.

The words of one of the players made Brother Mangzi break down.

"Brother Mangzi, you are just like a simple human machine. Go and become a disciple of Lin Daiyu and learn how to fight."

Bang! ! !
"Ahhhhhh! What a shame! What a shame! I failed miserably the first time I helped. I'm so pissed off!" Brother Mangzi was furious. His face turned blood red. He had never been so angry before.

This is not about arresting Xiao Ma and the others, this is clearly a slap in the face!

Bron is really not deaf: "..."

He felt that Mangzi was about to boil over...
