#2072 - Quick Brush
The team maintained a five-person formation.
Lindro and another paladin from the team were at the forefront.
Fang Heng stood in the middle, in the output position.
While the other players were on alert for potential dangers in the surrounding environment, Fang Heng focused on how to escape the game.
"Are all trial missions time-limited to within 3 hours?"
"Not necessarily. It depends. Some missions take longer, while others are very short. It's not related to the mission level, but most missions generally don't last longer than 8 hours."
Lindro answered Fang Heng's question, while cautiously watching for threats from the surrounding environment.
The group slowly advanced towards the snow mountain along the mountain path.
A few minutes later, Lindro, who was at the front, suddenly stopped, focused, looked ahead, and signaled the team to halt.
In the distance, two tall white figures gradually emerged from the falling snow.
"Snow monsters, elite creatures, low fire resistance, good at melee combat, very high strength attribute, attacks come with a high-level heavy strike stun skill, be careful to interrupt their special skill, Earthquake, don't fight them head-on, circle around."
Sark, the player responsible for healing and scouting at the back of the team, provided information immediately.
"Let's see how it goes, let's go!"
Lindro and another paladin charged up, one on the left and one on the right, each engaging a snow monster.
The first wave of elite creatures encountered in the trial.
Their strength was average.
Lindro's team could easily deal with them following their usual routine, but at this moment, everyone's attention was more focused on Fang Heng.
The strength of the new teammate was very important to them.
It was related to the specific arrangements for the upcoming boss fight.
If Fang Heng was strong enough, that would be the best, and the mission would be completed easily.
But if they misjudged and he was a piece of trash…
A scepter shimmering with a sacred halo appeared in his hand.
Scepter of Divine Blessing!
Seeing the scepter in Fang Heng's hand, everyone's eyes immediately lit up with a hint of excitement.
A scepter!
Just by looking at it, you could tell it was not ordinary!
This was going to be easy!
So, he was a ranged magic user?
Fang Heng's new persona, newly simulated through the divine artifact, was two meters tall and had a strong build, giving the initial impression of a melee-type player.
Now, pulling out a scepter made the players feel a slight contrast.
However, in the next moment, Fang Heng suddenly darted forward!
What!
The team was shocked to see that Fang Heng didn't cast any spells, but directly held the scepter in one hand and charged straight towards a snow monster on the right that was entangled with Lindro!
What kind of tactic was this?
A melee mage?
Sark, standing at the back of the team, was stunned. Seeing Fang Heng charge directly at the snow monster, he quickly prepared a healing spell and shouted, "Be careful! Snow monsters have very high strength attributes and can easily crush you. Don't force it!"
In the next moment, Fang Heng had already approached the snow monster.
The snow monster had good perception and swung its huge fist towards Fang Heng's face!
"Heh!"
Fang Heng snorted disdainfully and swung the scepter forward with one hand!
"Bang!!!!"
A dull collision sound rang in everyone's ears!
The players looked at Fang Heng, and their expressions changed instantly.
In a one-on-one, pure strength collision, Fang Heng stood still, while the snow monster, as if a drunkard who had been knocked silly, let out a painful groan and staggered backward.
Strength crushing!
Sark was shocked. The healing spell that had been half-condensed was forcibly stopped.
Snow monsters were elite-level creatures known for their strength.
Usually, they were the ones crushing others with their strength, but today, a player had crushed them with strength!?
"Hoo!"
Sark looked up and saw Fang Heng relentlessly swinging the scepter in his hand, making a whistling sound as he chased after the retreating snow monster!
After gaining the initiative, the snow monster was beaten back by Fang Heng!
It couldn't even find a chance to counterattack, looking like a drunkard who was constantly being beaten and retreating.
Lindro and the paladin player next to him looked at each other, their expressions becoming strange.
Good heavens.
Not only was its strength attribute crushed, but its agility and perception attributes were also crushed!
Only in a completely crushing situation could one completely suppress a snow monster like Fang Heng, preventing it from releasing even half a skill.
"Help!"
Seeing this, Lindro and the others immediately adjusted their positions to output damage.
Fang Heng continuously hammered the snow monster more than a dozen times, and with the support of Lindro's team from behind, the two elite snow monsters were cleaned up in less than a minute.
"Great job! Brother!"
Everyone looked at Fang Heng, secretly delighted.
They had found a treasure!
The strength Fang Heng had shown so far was many times higher than that of their previous teammate!
And it was clear that this was definitely not all of Fang Heng's strength.
"Brother, you're amazing. It's so much easier with you here. We're benefiting from your light this time." Lindro walked up, patted Fang Heng on the shoulder, and praised him. "Time is limited. Let's continue to clear the mission boss."
"Okay."
Fang Heng nodded and put the Holy Scepter back into his backpack.
The group once again followed the snow-covered mountain path upwards.
The players in Lindro's team were among the top players in the intermediate game world. The team members were all old acquaintances and cooperated well. With Fang Heng's help, they immediately adjusted their battle tactics, letting Fang Heng hold the front.
The other members of the team only needed to throw skills from behind.
The further they went, the more the players in Lindro's team could sense the strength that Fang Heng was displaying.
He could control five elite snow monsters by himself without any problem!
The players felt that this mission was particularly easy.
They even felt that five snow monsters were far from reaching Fang Heng's limit.
The team fought all the way from the bottom of the mountain to the top in just twenty minutes.
At the end of the snow mountain path.
At the top of the mountain.
A cold wind blew past.
Fang Heng looked up at the location indicated by the game mission in front of him.
A dilapidated shrine.
The shrine looked like it hadn't been repaired for a long time and was mostly covered in snow.
The group exchanged glances, staring at the shrine in front of them, and became vigilant.
Fang Heng withdrew his gaze and slowly focused his vision on the snow-covered ground in front of him.
The vampire bloodline's perception had already keenly captured a wave of blood energy.
It was a demon clan!
Compared to humans, the blood energy fluctuations emitted by the demon clan were often stronger.
"Ka Ka Ka…"
In the next moment, the ground shook!
Cracks appeared on the snow-covered ground in front of the shrine.
Icy white frost overflowed from the cracks in the ground.
It seemed that something was gathering strength within the cracks.
