Introduction: A powerful monster born to protect the ruined temple. Its strong body is like an insurmountable natural chasm. Anyone who wants to enter the center of the temple must accept its test!
The data of the two stone statues are exactly the same!
It is similar to the information collected by the human trialists who have been able to break through this level in the past. The elite monsters guarding the temple in each session are all level 10 E-class monsters with high attack, high defense, and thick blood volume!
The life value is as high as 10,000 points, and the thick stone armor given by its skin is not counted!
Such data highlights a simple and rough!
Moreover, these two stone statues are nearly five meters high, and their long arms give them an attack distance of up to 3 meters. Any trialist who breaks through here will fall into extreme despair when seeing these two stone statues!
Even if ordinary people can be upgraded to level 10 before entering the temple like Xu Kun, the attribute values superimposed by the upgrade are only +10 for each item!
Calculated with the basic strength as the full value of 10, there is only 20 strength, which is converted into attack power, but a novice of 40!
Facing the eternal stone statues with double defense of 200 each, it is impossible to break the defense!
-1 mandatory damage is the silent ridicule that many novice trialists receive when facing the temple guardian!
Even if you use skills, you may not be able to break the defense, unless your skills are attribute damage bonus!
This also leads to many people entering the temple, and the completion of the Mist Island Trial is only 1% higher, 61% completion, the lowest level F grade!
E grade: Defeating the stone skin of two stone statues (10% health shield) (+1.5%+1.5%), completion 64%!
D grade: Consume the health of a stone statue to 20%, trigger [Unbreakable] (+3%), completion 67%!
C grade: Consume the health of two stone statues to 20%, trigger [Unbreakable] (+3%), completion 70%!
B grade: Kill a stone statue (+5.5%), completion 71%-75.5%!
A grade: Kill two stone statues (+5.5%), completion 81%!
But it is not so easy to achieve these completions!
Super high burst;
More blood than the E-level boss of the same level;
Range damage skills;
Extremely long attack distance;
Thick blood shield;
Plus the iba skill of shrinking to the ground and adding double defense and blood recovery even after hitting 20% of residual blood!
As a result, the two stone statues before the final boss can block 80% of the trialists who have reached this step!
After constantly learning lessons in the course of history, the human race has gradually analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the temple guardians, and the advantages are the above summary.
A conclusion is drawn: If a novice reaches this step, it is absolutely stupid to think about fighting with the stone statues!
And through big data analysis, these two stone statues are strong, but they have fatal flaws!
The movement speed is too low!
With a moving speed of 0.5M\\/S, the old man in a wheelchair may be able to run faster than it. Another point is that the attack speed of the stone statue is also very slow. Many trialists who pass the level rely on their own positioning to complete the grinding of blood without damage and finally solve the two stone statues!
This is also the optimal solution given by past experience--water drops, stone penetration!
Of course, even if the human race has summed up this set of experience, there are still many people who are blocked at this level. The reason is that there is not enough time!
The data panel of the two stone statues is actually not very easy to kill the trialists who have reached this step--choose the real man to face the head-on stupidity!
The purpose of its existence is to delay time. After all, not everyone can enter the temple in just half a day like Xu Kun!
More than 95% of the trialists need five days or even more to break into the temple!
In the remaining time, it is not easy to grind two stone statues with a blood volume of 10,000!
Not to mention that there are many people who finally grind the stone statue to a low health, but when faced with the skill [Unbreakable], the 5% blood recovery per second, they fall into despair again!
Such a blood recovery speed is definitely more than the output that the trialist can cause to the stone statue!
The mandatory damage is -1, but the blood recovery per second of the stone statue reaches 50!
After 20 seconds, the stone statue is resurrected with full blood. Even if you can reduce its blood volume again, it can still trigger [Unbreakable]!
It's so shameless!
Therefore, for the trialist who does not break the defense, it is not easy to beat a stone statue to a low health and complete the D-level evaluation. The most you can do is to beat both stone statues to a low health and get a C-level evaluation!
This is the limit!
If you want to kill the stone statues and get a B-level or even A-level evaluation, you have to cripple both stone statues, and then with the 20% double defense of [Unbreakable], cause more than 50 damage per second to each of the two stone statues!
This requires at least 270 physical/magical attack power to do it!
While Xu Kun was thinking, the eternal stone statues also completed their "awakening ceremony"!
The stone mouth corners made a dull roar, and then two pairs of stone eyes stared at Xu Kun, the outsider!
Boom boom boom!
The two stone statues moved at the same time, and their broad feet stepped on the ground, causing the ruined temple to drop stones uncontrollably. Xu Kun could even see the ceiling cracking!
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Xu Kun murmured: "Are you two really born to protect the temple? Are you sure you are not born to destroy the temple?"
Xu Kun's words seemed to cause dissatisfaction with the two stone statues, swinging their stone fists and smashing them hard on the ground!
Boom!
However, Xu Kun was no longer visible at the spot where the stone fist fell!
The imagined situation of being smashed into pieces would naturally not happen. Now Xu Kun's speed is as high as 6.5M\\/S, and it's like playing to walk around these two stone statues!
"Slow, too slow!"
Xu Kun's voice sounded from behind the stone statues.
"Roar!"
The two stone statues roared and turned their bodies with difficulty. At this time, Xu Kun had already taken out his 4.2-meter-long fire sword!
"Fire and fire, blood poison, poison swamp!"
Three group attack skills were thrown out in succession. Among them, the 5*5 range of fire and blood poison can perfectly cover the tops of the two stone statues. The poison swamp is an F-level group attack skill with a range of 1*1, which can only form a poison circle at the bottom of a stone statue!
The raging fire can cause 160 (fire attack) + 210 (magic attack) * 1.2 = 444 fire damage per second, which is real damage to the two stone statues without fire resistance!
The damage of the newly acquired blood poison is even more terrifying, because Xu Kun's poison attack is as high as 143. Ignoring poison resistance is like a decoration for the two stone statues with 0 poison resistance, but it does not affect the 424 poison damage per second at all. With the 50% poison damage bonus of [Poison Source], that is 636!
The two stone statues have not turned around yet, and they have lost 1080 points each, but the health bars on their heads only trembled slightly, because they still have a layer of stone skin with 1000 health points on their surface!
After only one second, the stone skin of the two stone statues fell off like being rubbed by a master in a bathhouse, revealing the more delicate stone flesh inside~
Although the poisonous swamp is only an F-level skill, it can also cause (5% magic attack + 100% poison attack) poison attribute damage per second. With Xu Kun's 210 magic attack and 143 poison attack, plus 50%, it can also cause 372\\/S poison attribute damage to one of the stone statues!
In just 1 second of DPS, Xu Kun caused 2532 damage, and the two stone statues barely turned around!
[Ding, you destroyed the stone skin of two temple guardians, the eternal stone statues at the same time, the completion of the Kirishima Trial +3%, the current completion is 64%, reaching the E-level evaluation, you can choose to settle or continue the trial! 】
"Of course continue!" Xu Kun did not hesitate at all!
As he spoke, Xu Kun grabbed a handful of Tang... cough cough, and the blue silver parasite smashed the two stone statues, and threw a flaming bomb at one of the stone statues!
-1125!
The two stone statues were furious, and a faint light flashed on their stone fists. Xu Kun immediately judged that this was the prelude to [Earth Smash]!
This is a range control + damage skill, which also made many trialists who tried to fight and scrape the stone statues suffer!
Xu Kun did not take it lightly and immediately got out of the skill range!
At this time, the two stone statues received -1080 and -1452 group damage respectively. Among them, the stone statue that suffered two group damage skills at the same time took a flaming bomb, and its health bar had dropped by 25% at this moment!
The two stone statues were still a little smart, knowing that the top and bottom were continuously causing damage to them, and stepped forward with their big feet, trying to get out of the range!
But how could Xu Kun do what they wished? The handful of blue silver parasites he had just thrown out had begun to take root and sprout after absorbing the [Earth Crushing] energy of the two stone statues. After the two stone statues suffered three more waves of damage, Xu Kun stretched out his hand and grasped them!
"Blue Silver Entanglement!"
Boom!
The raised big feet fell, and the two stone statues were firmly bound in place and began to tear the blue silver grass on their bodies. However, the handful of seeds Xu Kun had just thrown out were at least hundreds. Even if the two stone statues wanted to tear them apart, it would take a lot of time!
Although Xu Kun could only control 5 blue silver grasses, it did not affect the other naturally grown blue silver grasses from spontaneously launching an entangling attack on the eternal stone statue!
The 5S attack time of the poisonous swamp was the first to dissipate. During this period, with the help of two large group attack skills and a flaming bomb, 8385 damage had been caused to one of the stone statues. The two group attacks continued. Another second passed, and when the other stone statue was still struggling with the blue silver grass...
The stone statue that had suffered multiple injuries in succession had already collapsed and turned into pieces of rubble and fell to the ground.
Just two group attacks, a total of 6 seconds, caused the blood line of this stone statue with a 10% life shield to drop to 20%. The stones piled up and turned into a small hill, entering the [Unbreakable] rock blood recovery state!
[Ding, your output has reduced the health of a temple guardian, the Eternal Stone Statue, by 80%. The Eternal Stone Statue has entered a state of perseverance and will not fall. The Kirishima Trial completion rate is +3%. The current completion level is 67%, reaching D level. Evaluation, you can choose to settle or continue the trial! 】
[Ding, your output has reduced the HP of a temple guardian, the Eternal Stone Statue, by 80%. The Eternal Stone Statue has entered a state of perseverance and will not fall down. The Kirishima Trial completion rate is +3%. The current completion level is 70%, reaching C level. Evaluation, you can choose to settle or continue the trial! 】
Not long after a stone statue collapsed, another prompt sounded, but Xu Kun did not respond.
Looking at the stone statue that fell to the ground first, Xu Kun first threw an explosive bomb. The blood line on top of the pile of stones jumped and half of it fell off!
Then Xu Kun launched a charge without any hesitation!
[Charge]: Lock on the target within 20 meters, the target cannot dodge, movement speed *2, cause (physical attack *2) physical damage to the target, stun for 3S!
Xu Kun's current physical attack is as high as 364. At *2, it has already reached the terrifying height of 728!
Even against the Eternal Stone Statue in the [Unbreakable] state at the moment, with a mere 200+20% physical defense and only 240 physical defense, it can still cause 488 points of damage. The health line of this stone statue is already close to 5%!
Using [Quick Attack] to make up for the flat A, with [Fire Line] and [Blue Sand Hand] status, Xu Kun looked at a number rising above the hill!
-999!
The 5% physical bonus of quick attack plus Xu Kun's 100% critical hit with full luck!
The line of fire comes with 5% fire attribute damage, plus 100% critical hit, plus 2.5 times the fire attribute critical damage!
The 100% poison attribute attack attached to the blue sand hand adds 100% critical hit, plus 50% damage increase from [poison source]!
The combination of the three allowed Xu Kun to cause such terrifying level A damage!
One sword 999!
Boom!
A stone statue turned into a pile of rubble with Xu Kun's understatement, and there was no chance to get up again!
[Ding, you have killed a temple guardian, the Eternal Stone Statue. The Kirishima Trial Completion Degree is +5%. The current completion degree is 75.5%. It has reached a B-level evaluation. You can choose to settle or continue the trial! 】
"continue!"
Xu Kun's eyes immediately turned to another stone statue that turned into a hill!
The first move is [Bone Transforming Palm]!
Rotting Tendon: Cast on a single target, reducing its five basic attributes of strength, spiritual power, physical strength, concentration, and movement by 20% for 30S.
Bone erosion: Causes (poison attribute attack + magic attack)*1.5 poison attribute damage!
The health of the stone statue jumped and suddenly increased. Naturally, it was not a return of health, but the original health of 10,000 became 8,000 under the effect of rotten tendons, and the health of 2,000 became 25% of the total health!
It doesn't matter, what matters is that the physical defense/magic defense of this pile of hills has become 192 at the same time!
Reduced by 20% on the basis of 240, the debuff effect is actually even more impressive than its [Perseverance] gain effect!
Then the blood line that had just risen jumped again. This time it decreased. It was the damage effect of Bone Erosion that was triggered!
The basic damage of Bone Corrosion is 353*1.5, which is 530. Coupled with the poison attribute damage of [Poison Source] +50%, the final damage effect is...
794!
It wasn't over yet, Xu Kun turned his palm, and the locust stone appeared!
Throw it towards the hill with one hand!
[Throwing] - Throw the locust stone, locking a target within 20M and causing damage. Cooling time: 10S!
Under the rotten tendon effect of [Bone-Reforming Cotton Palm], the pure physical damage of Locust Stone is also maxed out!
-536! (Crit!)
In the end, Xu Kun didn't even move, and another fireball came out of his palm, which was the precursor of the explosive bomb!
boom!
-1125!
The fireball bombarded the pile of rocks, as if Sun Wukong had exploded, and the pile of rocks turned into rubble and scattered all over the ground!
The beep sounds again!
[Ding, you have killed a temple guardian, the Eternal Stone Statue. The Kirishima Trial Completion Degree is +5%. The current completion degree is 81%. It has reached an A-level evaluation. You can choose to settle or continue the trial! 】
"Huh~"
Xu Kun blew into the dusty air in front of him, and a thick smile appeared at the corner of his mouth!
Two mountains that were insurmountable for normal novices were easily solved by him in less than ten seconds!
From beginning to end, apart from the two stone statues running toward him at the beginning, he didn't give them any chance to move!
Xu Kun, who has a lot of skills, has already reached the terrifying level of over 2,000 injuries per second during the novice trial stage!
At this moment, Xu Kun wanted to shout loudly and pretentiously: "Who else!"
Of course Xu Kun has such confidence. When other novice trialists faced two stone statues, they were worried that they could only inflict mandatory -1 damage without breaking the defense. Xu Kun had already relied on one skill to defeat the two stone statues. The stone statues were bombarded indiscriminately, and the battle was easily resolved with overwhelming force!
This is even when Xu Kun's weapon's special skill [Flaming Dragon's Wrath] is still cooling down and his trump card [Eternal Spark] is not used!
At present, among Xu Kun's skills, the one with the highest total output is [Flaming Dragon's Wrath], a terrifying large-scale group attack skill that deals 5,000 fire damage per second and lasts for 10 seconds!
Even the SSS-level [Eternal Spark] can't compare to [Flaming Dragon's Wrath] in terms of total damage!
But [Flaming Dragon's Wrath] has no growth potential. Its damage is just there. For targets without fire resistance, the total output reaches 50,000, which is its upper limit!
But [Eternal Spark] is different. As an SSS-level skill, it will improve significantly as Xu Kun grows. For now, the single-target damage is 37,000. Xu Kun believes that as long as he steps into the Haotian Tower, After the second level, the damage of [Eternal Spark] is expected to exceed the total damage of [Wrath of the Flame Dragon]!
Just like those SSS-level talents, the 1280% bonus, if the attribute is 1, is 1280, but what if it is 10000?
It can only be described in four words: so terrifying!
…
When the dust cleared, Xu Kun could finally see clearly what was ahead!
After a fight, he felt that the already dilapidated temple was now crumbling!
The damage caused by the destruction of the scene was extremely terrifying, and Xu Kun's small body could not bear it, so at this moment, he tiptoed towards the scattered rocks!
Temple Guardians naturally drop as well!
As an elite monster, it has its own card!
Moreover, Xu Kun also knew what the temple guardian would drop through the metal bracelet!
In other words, this is the case for all elite monster drops!
That is... the spirit stone!
Yes, elite monsters are different from bosses. During information collection, elite monsters will only drop spirit stones in addition to high experience that is useless to Xu Kun who is at full level at this time!
"According to past information, the temple guardians will each drop an E-level spiritual stone. I wonder if my full luck value and God's blessing and the son of luck will be different?"
After digging through a pile of rubble, Xu Kun found what he was longing for!
"One, two, three, there are three!"
The familiar appearance made Xu Kun wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth excitedly, reached out his hand, and picked up three round beads.
[D-level spiritual stone]*3
Introduction: A naturally formed crystal after the Haotian Tower's own power dissipates. As a mid-to-low-end spiritual stone material, D-level spiritual stones have strong stability. The power they reserve is a hundred times that of E-level spiritual stones!
Function: The pure power in it can be channeled and used as energy to build D-level weapons and equipment. It can also be used as a power furnace for various D-level energy weapons and a necessary material for laying out D-level formations!
"Haha, I got three more D-level spiritual stones!"
Xu Kun smiled with satisfaction, but when he saw signs of shaking on the ceiling above his head, he quickly covered his mouth.
Following the same pattern, he walked towards another pile of stones step by step.
After a while of groping, just like before, he got 3 more D-level stones. In addition to the 5 D-level spiritual stones given by the Corrupt Termite Emperor, Xu Kun had collected a total of 11!
"If you count it as one million, it's still over ten million!"
"His Liu, more than 10 million, how much delicious food do you need to buy? Bah, bah, bah, with so much money, how can you think about buying food? You should consider changing your house first!"
When Xu Kun thought of the dark and dilapidated tube building where he and his mother lived, Xu Kun felt sour in his heart!
The human race is stable, but it only takes a hundred years, and this still depends on the contribution of the great man "Eye of the Sky"!
At the beginning, the "Eye of the Sky" fought against all opinions and negotiated with the top leaders of the Ten Thousand Races on behalf of the entire human race. In the end, at the expense of the entire human race, it became a subsidiary race of the "Black Turtle Clan", one of the seven royal families!
For the first time, as a subordinate race, it was included in the sequence of all races!
It is said that there were many criticisms among the human race regarding the decision of "Sky Eye", thinking that he was betraying the interests of the entire race!
But it turns out that "Sky Eye"'s decision was right!
Only when the human race enters the order of all races can they get corresponding rights, instead of all races being scattered all over the place to be hunted down, imprisoned, played with, and reduced to food rations for all races...
The human race was also able to stand under the sun and spend hundreds of years rebuilding their homes on the original six continents, dividing war zones, and establishing base cities!
The price paid is to form a human army, follow the Black Turtle clan into the battlefield of all races, and become a subordinate army under the command of the Black Turtle clan!
The established base cities will naturally not be as dotted as they were thousands of years ago, because the six continents have experienced hundreds of years of turmoil and have become paradises for some races. It is not easy for the human race to gain a foothold!
Naturally, the Black Turtle Clan would not help the human race with how to build their homeland. Under the leadership of batches of martyrs, the human race overcame obstacles and started a new round of land reclamation, eliminating weak races and enclosing land to build cities!
The Huaxia War Zone where Xu Kun is located has built six major base cities. He and his mother live in the Jiangnan Base City near the ocean!
Although the Jiangnan base city is large, it has to accommodate a population of more than 200 million, resulting in extremely tight land. It is impossible for every family to have its own homestead like a thousand years ago. People like Xu Kun’s mother It is not easy for a super talented person to get a dilapidated tube house to live in!
Ten million may seem like a lot, but it is not enough to buy a villa. But according to Xu Kun's judgment, it is not difficult to buy a community house in a bustling area!
With his thoughts flying, Xu Kun quickly calmed down, now is not the time to wander about the future!
He habitually touched the "corpse" of the temple guardian, but the familiar feeling of touching the material did not appear. Xu Kun's eyes widened and he watched the two piles of scattered stones turn into fly ash and float in the air.
"Dig a trench and don't give me a chance to touch the body!"
After being frustrated, Xu Kun stood up fiercely and cursed the two elite monsters for being too weak. They just gave a few spirit stones and sent beggars away?
Eternal Stone Statue: Are you cursing again?
He walked forward. Behind the position where the two stone statues just stood was a dark corridor, and their duty was to guard this corridor and not give outsiders the opportunity to enter!
With the information provided by the metal bracelet, Xu Kun knew that the end of the corridor was where the final boss of Kirishima was!
With the help of the flames rising from the Flame Spirit Sword, Xu Kun slowly walked inside.
His expression was particularly nervous. Unknown things always make people feel uneasy!
All along the way, except for the unexpected appearance of [Kirishima Patroller·Corrupted Termite King] in the level 1-10 monster area, all other information did not exceed Xu Kun's expectations.
Now, the biggest suspense is what kind of guy this final boss will be?
Following the dark corridor, Xu Kun heard the sound of whistling wind in the closed space!
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew, making Xu Kun's steps unstable, and even the flame on the Flame Spirit Sword showed signs of extinguishing!
Da, the footsteps echoed in the corridor, and Xu Kun's heartstrings were already tense.
The [Myriad Races Atlas] in the palm of his hand has appeared. This book is not affected by the surrounding environment at all and still emits a faint light.
Suddenly, Xu Kun felt cold all over!
His neck felt cold, and an invisible sword with a whistling coldness was already on his neck. The speed was so fast that Xu Kun had no time to draw out the Flame Spirit Sword for defense.
The next moment, the sound he heard made Xu Kun's eyes widen.
"Finally... I've been waiting... for so many years... She's back..."
[Ding, congratulations on passing the test, the completion of the Kirishima Trial +10%, the current completion is 91%, and you have obtained an S-level evaluation. You can choose to settle or continue the trial! 】
Xu Kun: ???
