Chapter 192 Combination Technique: Fusion Form

Chapter 192 Combination Technique: Fusion Form (asking for monthly ticket)
"Maintenance... Repair... Completed... Error... Retry."

The lights on the maintenance robot's shell flashed alternately in a disorderly manner, and then suddenly went out. Its body collapsed to the ground, and some light blue liquid dripped onto the ground along its tracks.

The challenger reminder also sounded in the minds of the team players.

After a round of cheers, Tu Bai and his teammates sat down on the ground.

After a whole day of hard work, their soul level reached level 5.

The process was tortuous, but also full of fun.

There will inevitably be pain in the process of exploring the game, but every successful hunt will also bring a full sense of accomplishment.

As the level increases, the map of the Novice Village has also opened a new chapter. They have begun to explore the areas that they could only view from a distance before.

"I feel dizzy. You've consumed too much mental energy. You need to rest for a while." A teammate shook his head and slapped his forehead from time to time, looking a little painful.

"Me too. My muscles are sore all over. Let's rest for a while. Let's try to open the second star vein first, and then consider the cost of potions after getting a new soul." The captain suggested, his chest heaving as he spoke and breathing heavily.

"Well, the team will share the cost of the potions for the captain's injury." Tu Bai nodded to show his understanding, and then looked at the fallen maintenance robot.

【Maintenance Robot (Death)】:
Hunting Level: 8
Target introduction: A maintenance and repair robot built by the Mechanical Guards. It is responsible for roaming around the Mechanical Guards' industrial zones or weapons factories and inspecting all equipment along the way. If any equipment problems are found, they will be repaired after being reported. It is equipped with high-energy welding guns, plasma cutters, and other maintenance equipment. Its outer shell is made of alloy and can withstand various forms of attacks. If it is initially damaged, it can repair itself.

……

The hunting level of the maintenance robot has reached level 8. It moves on small tracks and is equipped with multiple mechanical arms with tools such as welders and screwdrivers. It has both strong defense and good output means.

Two hours ago, they fought against the maintenance robot for the first time, and the captain's first time was lost.

But there are benefits to dying once in a while.

It is difficult to restore the body to perfect condition through ordinary rest.

Resurrection after death is resurrection in peak state. There is a huge gap between the two states.

At this time, the captain stood up on his knees, sacrificed the wreckage of the maintenance robot, and then sent a screenshot of the sacrifice to the team chat channel. The sacrifice power gained was evenly distributed to each member of the team.

During the break, Tu Bai looked at the other player teams in the wilderness.

During this time, a brilliant streak of light would occasionally streak across the sky, dragging neon colors and disappearing at the end of sight.

"I really envy these veteran players. We are like refugees in comparison."

Tu Bai turned around and looked at his Black Jade teammates who were full of envy, and smiled and shook his head:

"Don't think we are weak now, we still have a chance to catch up with these old players. Besides, we have only given out so many game qualifications, and when the next batch of new players join us, we will also be old players."

"When I have money, I will definitely buy a flying sword vehicle." The teammate continued with an envious look.

"I also want a growth pet, but the prerequisite is to have sacrifice power. I just offered 300 points for 500 points of sacrifice power, but an old player of the Sky Feather Clan privately called me an idiot and said that I was crazy and cheating because I was poor. The price of sacrifice power is too outrageous. It seems that I can only earn it myself."

Hearing Tu Bai's depressed complaint, everyone burst into laughter.

At this moment, a streak of light flashed across their heads again, which made Tu Bai curious:
"What are these old players doing, flying over our heads from time to time?"

"Of course, we're going to explore other spaces in the cave. They don't think highly of the mechanical ruins under our feet. In their eyes, robots are useless monsters. Only we newbies are eager to get them. Their goal is the blank area node. It is said that the rewards for sheltering them are generous, and they can also expand the area of ​​the novice village space."

During the chat, the team turned the topic from old players to the tentative future genre selection.

The captain was beaten for the entire day, and was beaten black and blue several times, with multiple broken bones, but he still firmly chose to follow the path of the stone statue bearing the injuries, and wanted to try to form his own guild in the future.

Tu Bai's idea is to continue playing the melee weapon spirit flow, and the early star vein combination is tentatively: Powerful Axe, Wind Whip, and Gangqi.

As for the future, there are many ways to play.

You can consider the special effects of Forbidden Blade and Black Armored Snake, or you can consider the purely violent style of extreme speed, crushing and other souls.

The other three teammates also tentatively decided to continue along the original route.

Two magic outputs, one goes for the magic tower flow, the other goes for the mental shock flow.

Players who initially have Scattered Arrow Soul will go for the extreme speed special effects flow in the future.

The preliminary team combination has been completed, but as for the nurse, auxiliary and other styles, they will not be considered for the time being.

Especially the nurse, this style is simply unaffordable for ordinary players.

Only strong teams have the funds to train.

Just one wish soul requires 100,000 sacrificial powers to purchase.

The thought of this expense seems outrageous.

This is just the initial investment, and the investment in the layout of the small world in the future will also be high, unless a path is developed that ordinary players can also quickly obtain willpower.

It is easy to change genres in the game, but it is limited to switching between common genres.

Prayer, Lord... These schools are built with high-level soul cores. The sacrificial power earned by ordinary players thrown in will not make even a single splash.

But Tu Bai is full of confidence in the future.

The biggest feature of the game Monster World is the unknown, and opportunities exist everywhere.

Maybe you can find an opportunity to change your destiny.

The headmaster of the kindergarten group is a typical example. He just entered the game in the last round of qualifications, but relied on his divine soul to be promoted to the ranks of top players.

The forum also keeps records of the director’s layout of the faith plan.

Secondly, there are members of the old player group. Before entering Monster World, they were all game brick-moving players. The few games they played before were just supporting roles. They cannot compete with the top players at all and mainly serve the players who spend money.

But in this game, you can enter the Counter-Tide Legion through the line of the God of Wealth, obtain the blessing of the Seal of War, and successfully advance to the ranks of top players.

There are many other similar case forums.

Although I lost the opportunity to start, from a future perspective, I am now an early player.

There are so many opportunities waiting for them to discover.

The amazing vehicles used by veteran players and their powerful performance are like a mirror, allowing him to see his future self and look forward to it.

During the break and chat, the team leader continued to post team formation requirements in the regional chat channel.

Soon, a prompt sounded for players to apply to join the team.

[Challenger prompts: Player "collects sacrifice power" to join the team, do you agree: Yes/No. ]

The captain chose to agree, and a member's name appeared in the team chat channel.

"Hello, my initial soul is Rock Shield, and I follow the close combat and damage-taking style."

Discovering that he was a rare player who could take damage, Tu Bai and others welcomed him.

This is a rare style in the game. The team starts with three as standard, but most teams would be lucky to have just one.

There is no time limit for challenging monsters in the game, so you can stand your ground and hunt high-level monsters even if your output is low.

But if you can't stand, no matter how high your output is, it will be useless.

For example, the natural disaster backlash flow of the Earth Bully is compared with the death disaster flow in the extreme output mode. The strength of the two war modes is very different in the eyes of players.

It is a great thing for the development of the team that such a sought-after player with the ability to sustain injuries joins the team.

"Do I need to come pick you up?"

"No, there are players all along the way, all fighting for monsters. There is no possibility of me being intercepted and killed by monsters."

"We'll wait for you here."

Tu Bai said this, calling up the map and taking a look at the newbie's location.

After focusing, the distance displayed is: 4.87km.

After waiting for a long time and recovering their strength, the crowd saw a figure running towards them quickly, holding a khaki shield.

As the view narrowed, the player had a handsome face with perfectly delicate features. His long and slender ears naturally blended into his hair, with a slightly upturned curve that made him look lively. His skin was fair and had a healthy glow.

With clear eyes and an innate elegance between his eyebrows, he looks like an elf from a fairy tale.

"Shit, have the creatures from the upper realm come to the B-version monster world too?"

"The Celestial Dragons have appeared!"

"Kill that Eclipse... Sorry, I'm used to it in other games. I want to take action when I see the Eclipse tribe."

Everyone in the team was shocked to see that the newbie was actually a member of the Eclipse Clan.

In previous games, the Eclipse Clan were all top players, and they did not live in the same city as players of other races.

You can only see them on the battlefield in the game, and you kill them as soon as you meet them.

In general, they are still suppressed by the Eclipse Clan. Whether it is game understanding or other aspects, the Eclipse Clan who created virtual games are far stronger than ordinary players.

Some players even speculate that every member of the Eclipse tribe is a carefully designed warrior during their growth process.

Even virtual games are training for the Eclipse Clan to prepare for war.
"Hello, I'm Shouji Li, you can also call me A Lan."

Coming to Tu Bai and the others and standing still, the Eclipse player glanced at everyone and let out a natural smile without any restraint. His voice was clear and carried a bit of casualness and sincerity.

"It's really a creature from the upper realm. It actually wants to team up with us."

"Actually, I'm also a new player. Although there is a version A monster world within the Eclipse Clan, I'm not qualified. This is my first time entering the monster world." A Lan explained with a smile.

"By the way, why did you name it: Collecting Sacrifice Power?" Tu Bai couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This is a task assigned to me by my superior. He asked me to make arrangements in Monster World in advance. A large number of Eclipse players will move into Monster World later... Actually, I don't like this name, but I followed my superior's instructions."

A Lan expressed his thoughts very honestly, and this frankness quickly broke the unfamiliarity between him and the other members of the team.

"It seems that what your No. 1 Archon said is true. In the game Monster World, even you upper-world creatures cannot adjust the data."

"Well, this is the decision of Star Network, and the Archon has no right to interfere." A Lan nodded with a smile, and then continued:

"If you want to offer your sacrifice power to me, I can buy it at a price higher than the market price."

"As expected of a being from the upper realm, spending money feels as easy as breathing."

Ah Lan was a little embarrassed when he heard this:

"Don't tease me. The core setting of the game Monster World means that we are destined to be friends in the same camp."

"Yes, let's go hunting."

After chatting, A Lan joined the team and moved towards the mechanical ruins together.

There are new players everywhere along the way, and you have to rely on stealing to kill monsters.

The deeper you go, the stronger the machine monsters become.

After searching for a while, they finally found a maintenance robot that was still in operation in the ruins. During this battle, Tu Bai and others discovered that the movement of this "creature from the upper realm" was perfect, and he figured out the attack rhythm of the maintenance robot in a very short time.

After the battle, everyone fell to the ground to rest, panting and feeling exhausted.

Ah Lan, who was also sweating profusely, swallowed and looked at everyone:
"My friends, I have an idea."

"What's the idea?" Tu Bai asked, lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, his chest heaving violently, looking at the sky.

"The number of players in the Mechanical Ruins scene is still growing rapidly. Stealing monsters is the biggest problem, so we simply explore deeper."

"No, the monsters in the area ahead are all level 8-13. It's easy for our team to die suddenly with their strength. A one-hour cooldown is too much of a waste of time." Tu Bai shook his head immediately.

"I have a method that can significantly enhance our combat effectiveness in the early stages, but it requires an initial investment."

"Creature from the upper realm, just tell me what you think." The teammate lying next to Tu Bai bent down and stood up, looking at A Lan.

The rest of the team's players also looked at A Lan, waiting for him to express his thoughts.

Alan nodded:

"It's difficult for us to challenge high-strength monsters because our souls are at a low level. We all like to fight in our original form, which significantly reduces our combat effectiveness. So why not choose to fight in soul form? We can even integrate our combat power to raise our overall strength to a higher level."

"I understand fighting in soul form, but what does combat power integration mean?" the captain raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"The game Monster World offers complete freedom of play. There are many reasons why we are weak now. In addition to the soul level, there is also the imperfection in the star vein combination. However, the imperfection in the star vein combination can be solved through matching."

"I've come up with a good single-target enhancement plan, which mainly revolves around the weapon spirit flow..."

After listening to A Lan's story, everyone in the team understood his thoughts.

Integrating individual combat power means that all players fight in the form of souls and match their abilities.

The captain fights in gargoyle form, holding a powerful axe in his right hand and a rock shield in Alan's soul form in his left hand.

One of the remaining three players was embedded with a Binding Soul and attached to the captain's chest in the form of a giant salamander.

There are two teammates left, one is embedded with the Light Shield Soul, and the other is embedded with the Eagle-headed Demon Perception.

This combination can use the perception of the eagle-headed demon to find the target and provide real-time environmental warnings, and can also use the rock shield to absorb damage, while the force axe is used for output.

When encountering a powerful attack, the captain can also turn into a petrified form and use his own body to bear the damage.

Coupled with the control and additional defense brought by the light shield and restraint, it is fully capable of hunting stronger targets across levels.

This idea is very bold.

It can be called a combination skill.

It has three major characteristics: defense (stone statue, rock shield, light shield), output (power axe), and control (binding).

It is equivalent to a new player who has opened 5 star vein slots and the body forging level at level 5 without increasing attributes, and fights in the soul form.

This idea made Tu Bai couldn't help but applaud:

"I agree. Let's pool our money to disassemble the soul and re-embed it. We will first raise the level of the soul through hunting, and then consider changing to other schools in the future."

The other members of the team also nodded in agreement.

With the idea in mind, everyone did not hesitate and immediately pooled money to replace the souls of the remaining three teammates.

The captain switched to soul form at this time.

The body grows rapidly, reaching more than two meters in height.

The shape has changed significantly. The rough body surface is covered with thick black stone skin. The body has become sturdy and strong, and the muscle lines are faintly visible under the stone skin, full of power.

A pair of scarlet eyes were embedded in the ferocious face, like two burning flames, which were particularly eye-catching, and sharp fangs were exposed from the corners of the mouth.

The originally slender limbs became thick and powerful after switching to the soul form, with sharp claws extending from the fingertips, each of which was like polished obsidian, sparkling with a cold luster.

"The battle axe is coming." After Tu Bai said this, his body twisted and turned into a golden battle axe, flying towards the captain.

The captain raised his right hand and held the Power Axe that Tu Bai had switched to in his right hand.

At this time, A Lan also twisted his body and turned into a thick khaki shield, which combined with the captain's left hand.

At this time, the captain's appearance changed.

In his right hand was a blazing brute axe, and in his left hand was a rock shield with a yellowish-brown mist flowing on its surface.

At this time, one of the team members transformed into a palm-sized giant salamander, and attached itself to the captain Guang's chest in the form of a bound soul.

One of the remaining two teammates transformed into an eagle-headed monster and stood above the captain's head.

Another cloud-like floating floc took shape, floating beside the captain, ready to release a light shield for defensive support at any time.

The combined form is officially completed.

"How do you feel, captain?" Tu Bai asked in the voice channel.

"I feel so powerful, owoo~" the captain roared towards the sky in a very funny way, then asked his guiding clone to zoom out and take a photo.

The captain in the photo held a khaki shield in his left hand and raised a battle axe burning with golden flames in his right hand. The flames were dancing on the axe, as if fragments of the sun were embedded in it. The blazing firelight reflected on his black stone skin, making the outline of his body look even more hideous and terrifying.

"So handsome!"

The golden flaming battle axe suddenly swung forward, leaving a golden trail in the air.

The only problem with this combination is whether the harpy standing on the head can stand firm during the fight.

"Chicken, can you stand still?"

"I don't know, Captain, try running and then doing some high-intensity moves."

The captain nodded and began to jump, run quickly back and forth, and try to swing the axe while moving.

After testing, it will not drop in normal battles.

If it is a more intense battle, consider having the Eagle Demon's teammates come down early, hide in the back and provide detailed reminders on the battle through perception.

After the initial test, the team members immediately gained confidence.

The captain also shouted at this time:
"Chicken, turn on your senses and scan the area. I want to kill ten of them."

"Scanning the surrounding environment, host, please wait." The fiery red chicken standing on the captain's bald head nodded seriously. As soon as the words fell, the perception perspective quickly extended to the surroundings.

Explore deeper into the ruins and challenge stronger machine monsters.

They decided to find a nearby monster to practice with first and see how powerful their combined form was.
