In the open space.
More than twenty candidates were staring at the phantom fairy with eager eyes.
The Phantom Fairy has the ability to blend into the environment, but in this open space, her ability is greatly weakened.
There are no intertwining shrubs or lush vegetation.
This is a great opportunity for the candidates.
There were a few shiny strands of hair mixed in her waist-length orange-yellow hair. Those strands of hair were the 'phantom black hair' mentioned in the mission.
Although there are several hairs, only one of them has practical significance.
Once someone completes this task, it will be useless for others even if they obtain the 'Phantom Black Hair'.
Therefore, there was no room for compromise between the teams.
Apart from these large teams, there are also some scattered small groups secretly waiting for opportunities.
Their existence has actually been exposed.
But no one from the three major teams paid any attention to them at this time.
Including themselves, they are also very clear about their own capabilities and never dare to get too forward.
While maintaining a safe distance, they also lost the initiative to compete for the 'Phantom Black Hair'.
Otherwise, they can't expect to be the "fisherman" safely.
At this moment, Wang Zengxi, a newcomer from Yuehua High School, looked around and suddenly smiled:
"Just standing there and watching is just a waste of time. Everyone wants to do this mission, but the reality is that no one has the ability to take on such a huge victory alone."
"No one would refute this, right?"
After he finished speaking, the leaders of the other two teams remained silent.
Zeng Xi said it well.
Judging from the current situation, no one is qualified to take on this task alone.
Not to mention other competitors, just look at the ridiculously strong guard lineup of the Phantom Fairies. Even Zeng Xi's team would probably suffer heavy losses if they were fighting for the purpose of seizing the 'Phantom Blue Hair'.
Faced with that kind of loss, the possibility of unity within Zeng Xi's team is basically zero.
The foundation that supports the candidates' alliance is interest.
If everyone is eliminated, what is the point of talking about benefits?
If it's just one or two people, maybe there are other ways to remedy the situation.
If too many people are eliminated, it will become a big hole that cannot be filled.
"Just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush. That's just a waste of time."
A large team of eight people, led by Dong Yue, frowned.
Dong Yue, who ranked fourth in a previously published ranking list, is also an advanced student.
But Dong Yue was slightly inferior to Zeng Xi. He was selected by Heiyuan because of his excellent performance in the second round of magic test, while Zeng Xi passed the assessment in the first round of duel test.
Although they are both advanced students, Zeng Xi is obviously stronger in terms of duel strength.
As for the leader of the other team, he just listened silently from beginning to end.
He is not an advanced student, but a semi-advanced one. Although his team consists of seven people, they are undoubtedly at a disadvantage among the three major teams at the moment.
The right to speak is relatively low.
But it is still a key force in forming a balance of power.
"readily."
Not caring about the other person's tone, Zeng Xi smiled faintly and said, "Then I will express my opinion directly."
"Actually, although the current trouble is huge, it only affects one team. However, if we join forces, we can still achieve a significant suppression in terms of combat power, even crushing them, and the losses will be kept to a minimum."
"The two Black Star monsters are indeed formidable, but they aren't secret realm monsters after all. Without the Duelist's support or card aid, their actual combat power won't be exaggerated. Let's attack together to suppress them. After that, how about we each rely on our own abilities?"
Such a proposal made Dong Yue look conflicted. He felt that Zeng Xi had dug a hole and was waiting for them to jump in.
The worst thing is that you have no choice but to jump into this pit.
If the situation really continues to stalemate, no one will benefit.
On the contrary, the leader of the other team broke his usual silence and immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"how?"
After taking care of one family, Zeng Xi's gaze fell on Dong Yue.
In this situation, Dong Yue also knew that there was no time to think more.
If he refuses to cooperate with the other two companies, it will basically be equivalent to withdrawing.
Thinking of this, Dong Yue said in a deep voice: "Okay, but your team has the largest number of people, so you must be the first to go."
"no problem."
Zeng Xi said decisively: "Then without further ado, go ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Xi instantly activated his magic power and several cards flipped over.
Under the summoning light, a huge pink-brown hippopotamus appeared.
In terms of height, this hippopotamus is the tallest of the bunch, standing at six or seven meters tall. Add to that its bloated body, which is several times thicker than a water tank, and no one would doubt that it is a small mountain.
【Hippo Dragon】
Dinosaur clan, water attribute.
Attack power/1700, defense power/1500.
…
It turned out to be a dinosaur monster, no wonder it has such an amazing size.
And then, a magical light flashed, and a capsule the size of a water bottle condensed.
After Hippo Dragon swallowed the capsule, it seemed to absorb a large amount of nutrients instantly, and its body expanded again.
Magic card, ancient capsule.
This is a magic card that is only effective against Dinosaur monsters with an attack power of 1500 or more. After swallowing the capsule, Hippo Dragon's physical strength will increase by 30%, its attack power will increase by 400 points, and it can recover 5% of its injuries on its own every minute.
Apart from this ancient capsule, Hippo Dragon also had a black-gold warhammer with a metallic luster in his hand.
This warhammer is an equipment magic card that provides it with 300 attack power and a 20% attack speed bonus.
Hippo Dragon's attack power quickly soared to 2400 points, and the monster's vitality also became extremely amazing.
Seeing Zeng Xi take action, more than ten people in his team also took action.
For a moment, the monster cards of various races and various magic cards were overwhelming.
At this time, the guardians of the Phantom Fairies also entered into combat mode.
Leading the way were the two black star monsters, the tree demon and the poisonous thorn vine.
The tree demon used its human-like hands to make a throwing motion, and several tree sons flew out on the spot. After falling to the ground, they let out strange cries and rushed towards everyone.
At the same time, several crimson vines broke through the ground and rose vertically into the air. The vines all shook slightly, and more than twenty pitch-black spikes flew out.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining dozen or so White Star Plant Monsters also took action.
Eighty percent of these plant monsters have or are proficient in long-range output capabilities.
Therefore, the charge of the monsters in Zeng Xi's team was greatly hindered.
Some monsters are relatively weak and die at the beginning of the charge.
Seeing how hard they worked, Dong Yue's attitude towards cooperation also became more serious.
Especially when he saw that the other team had already taken action, he knew that he could not wait any longer.
Zeng Xi's men had already taken the lead as per his request and had suffered certain losses as a result. If he delayed any further, he would inevitably be suspected of being a spectator.
By then, not only will they not be able to complete the mission, they may also be targeted and attacked by the other two companies.
After thinking about this, Dong Yue said, "It's our turn to take action."
"good."
His partners also responded and soon joined the battle with Dong Yue.
The three major teams worked together, and the originally unsuccessful battle situation was suddenly turned around.
Even with two black-star-level plant monsters leading the charge, these guardians were still gradually suppressed.
The situation will not be clear in the short term, but if we look at the long term, we will know that it is only a matter of time before these monsters are completely suppressed.
Seeing this scene, the "fishermen" hiding a little further away couldn't help but sigh.
How can we play this?
With the three major teams joining together, they have no chance at all.
Even if you want to find a chance, you may not be able to find a suitable opportunity.
Even if they managed to snatch the Phantom Green Hair from the three major teams, they would likely be pursued endlessly by the other side.
Once eliminated, the reward for this B-level task becomes meaningless.
They now know the importance of gold coins.
But no matter what, gold coins cannot be equated with actual points.
At least that's how it is for them.
Some people shook their heads and left quietly.
It would be a pity to give up the task, but we must also learn to assess the situation.
In the current situation, insisting is futile and will only waste time.
…
After a while.
The candidates who were secretly waiting for opportunities and trying to take advantage of the leaks have basically left.
Only a team of three was still unwilling to give up.
Compared to others, they understand the power of gold coins better.
If they could complete this B-level mission and get the high reward, they would even have the confidence to compete with those powerful multi-person teams.
Although the others had already evacuated, they still wanted to wait and see.
Before, they specially assigned people to spread the news about the Phantom Fairies, with the aim of attracting more and stronger teams to join the competition.
The more people there are, the more chaotic the situation will be, and in the chaos, they will have more opportunities.
But unfortunately, there are people who are attracted by their magic flyers, but they are basically pairs.
There is not a single larger team.
This is also normal.
After all, not everyone's mission is related to phantom fairies.
In fact, the vast majority of candidates are still performing C-level tasks at this moment.
"Don't wait any longer, there's no chance."
A candidate sighed as he watched the plant monsters gradually showing signs of defeat in the chaotic battle.
"It seems so. Hey, no one expected them to unite so easily. Even if we wanted to intervene now, we would have no chance at all."
Another candidate also had the idea of giving up.
The last candidate stared at the battle circle reluctantly, but saw the sturdy tree demon fall under the siege of everyone.
Although it is a powerful black star monster, it is outnumbered.
The advantage of the number of duelist cards is fully demonstrated.
As a duelist alone, there are several reliable cards on hand.
There are more than 20 duelists, and the number of cards that can be activated easily exceeds 100.
If it weren't for the restrictions on summoning intervals and the number of soul connections, this suppression would be more obvious.
Even so, with just a dozen plant monsters, they might be able to fight them on equal terms in the early stages of the battle.
But as the fight goes on, the gap becomes easily apparent.
After all, the cards that duelists have trained to duel level still have hidden combat skills.
This cannot be ignored.
When it comes to combat skills, among those guardians, only the tree demon and the poisonous thorn vine have combat skills.
It is precisely because of their powerful skills that they can suppress the situation in the early stages of the battle.
But at this moment.
The tree demon fell.
The situation suddenly got out of control.
Zeng Xi's gaze passed over the remaining plant monsters and locked onto the uneasy-looking phantom fairy. The calmness between his brows revealed his inner confidence in victory.
"cheer!"
At this moment, Dong Yue stared at the phantom fairy and whispered that the critical moment of this battle had arrived.
Seeing this, the three candidates who were planning to retreat suddenly stopped.
It's not that I have any fantasies.
I just want to see who will get the Phantom Black Hair.
At this moment, a sound suddenly came into my ears.
This sudden voice made one of them turn his head and look in surprise. He asked uncertainly, "Is that Xia Mu?"
"Xia Mu? Where, where?"
Hearing his words, the other two immediately looked over curiously.
Soon, a land-based combat boat was spotted approaching slowly from the left rear.
There were three people sitting on the fighter boat, one of them was Xia Mu!
"If it's really him, could it be that his mission target is also Phantom Green Hair?"
"That's interesting. He's a very ruthless person."
"It's a shame that the situation has developed to this point. It's too late to come. Otherwise, there would be a chance."
"really."
As the three of them spoke, they couldn't help but feel regretful.
Lin You and the others naturally couldn't hear their discussion, but they didn't pay any attention to them at all. Their eyes were already on the large battle circle in front of them.
"It seems to have come just in time."
A bright smile appeared on Lin You's face. He had been worried that it would be too late to slow down, but now it seems that there is no problem.
Although those plant monsters have been obviously suppressed, they will not be completely destroyed for a while.
After all, there is still a black star monster that continues to output, and there are also seven or eight white star monsters.
Of course, this is also related to the sudden slowdown in the offensive intensity of the three major teams.
Especially Xiang Hong's team, that is, the team excluding Zeng Xi and Dong Yue, has almost stopped fighting at this moment, and 70% of the slack firepower comes from them.
"Xiang Hong, what do you want to do?"
Dong Yue looked at Xiang Hong with displeasure.
Yes, the competition has indeed reached a fever pitch now. It is time for them to conserve their strength and fight for the Phantom Black Hair.
But if it remains so obvious, it would be a provocation.
Aren’t you afraid of being besieged by him and Zeng Xi?
What's more, there is no need for Zeng Xi at all.
In Dong Yue's eyes, Zeng Xi was the only competitor at the moment. As for Xiang Hong? He was just a "worker" who joined in the fun. After he had his remaining energy, it was time to leave.
But who would have thought that this guy had no self-awareness and showed such an arrogant attitude of taking the initiative.
Don’t you really know how much you weigh?
Xiang Hong just smiled and didn't mean to explain.
"You overestimate yourself."
Xiang Hong's attitude was obvious. Dong Yue was not angry about it, but just couldn't help but sneer.
His gaze turned to Zeng Xi, meaning that they should work together to clear the area, get rid of Xiang Hong's team first, and then have the final fight with him.
However, noticing his gaze, Zeng Xi simply turned her head away and smiled faintly.
Seeing the smile on his face, Xiang Hong's heart skipped a beat.
broken!
Looking at Zeng Xi and then at Xiang Hong, Dong Yue seemed to understand something all of a sudden, and his expression became extremely ugly.
"Asshole."
Dong Yue couldn't help but curse, not only cursing Zeng Xi and Xiang Hong, but also cursing himself.
Got fooled!
From the very beginning, Xiang Hong and Zeng Xi were in the same group.
He and his team are the ones who are regarded as "workers".
Those plant monsters have been basically suppressed, and the remaining combat power is unable to stop Zeng Xi at all.
As for Xiang Hong, he was responsible for intercepting him at this moment.
In this way, Zeng Xi will definitely get the Phantom Black Hair.
No wonder Zeng Xi acted calm and composed from the very beginning.
The more Dong Yue thought about it, the angrier he became. He could only blame him for being too naive and not having seen the dangers of the world.
Who would have thought that Zeng Xi, who was also a freshman, would use such tricks to deceive others and screw him over badly.
"I'm sorry."
Zeng Xi said apologetically, "After all, this is a crucial assessment. Every decision needs to be made with extreme caution. Let's save things like fair competition for the official duel."
"Then, I will accept the Phantom Blue Hair without hesitation."
As he spoke, Zeng Xi turned his gaze to the phantom fairy.
He drove his other dinosaur monster, the Velociraptor, and quickly approached the Phantom Fairy.
Those limited number of guardians were stopped by his team.
But at the same time, a huge aura was approaching in vain.
The powerful aura of the Black Star Monster!
This breath made Zeng Xi's expression change slightly.
Not only him, many people looked towards the source of the aura.
There, a swift figure passed by like a gust of wind.
The moment he saw that figure, uneasiness spread like a virus in Zeng Xi's heart. He immediately shouted, "Stop him."
Everyone in Zeng Xi's team reacted immediately and activated their cards to attack the air.
The tallest hippopotamus dragon sneezed violently.
This sneeze actually created a strong gust of wind, which hindered Baphomet's flight for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the attacks that rushed towards the sky began to force Baphomet's position.
Even someone as powerful as Baphomet couldn't move freely among such a large number of monsters.
But that was before.
At this moment, Baphomet was bathed in crimson light.
This ray of light stimulated its wildness and fighting spirit to a great extent, and amplified its already powerful fighting aura.
God of War Card!
It not only increases Baphomet's attack and defense power by 300 points.
What's more crucial is the 50% damage reduction effect.
Supported by this damage reduction effect, Baphomet at this moment is like a real god of war. He forcibly outputs a large number of skills and rushes to the vicinity of the phantom fairy.
But at this time, the poisonous vines released a large number of poisonous thorns again.
These stingers were not only aimed at Baphomet, but also at the Swift Dragon that was getting closer to the Phantom Elf.
Baphomet simply ignored it.
But the Swift Dragon couldn't ignore it and was forced to retreat for a moment.
This step of distance caused Baphomet to close the distance even further.
But the tall hippo dragon pounced on Baphomet at almost any cost and forced itself in front of it.
The poisonous thorny vines were also completely blocked by others.
The Swift Dragon took another step and rushed towards the Phantom Fairy at a rapid speed.
Pop.
But at this critical moment, there was a slight sound, and the phantom fairy let out a slight cry of pain, then covered her head with an innocent face, looking around in a daze.
A shiny hair quietly rose into the air.
The moment this hair was peeled off, the few shiny hairs mixed in the phantom fairy's long hair suddenly lost their luster.
Immediately afterwards, Baphomet avoided the attack of the hippopotamus dragon and suddenly turned around and left at a high speed.
Zeng Xi frowned as he watched Baphomet move away quickly. Besides being confused, he felt more uneasy.
At this moment, seeing that the Swift Dragon successfully knocked down the target of this mission, the Phantom Fairy, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what happened just now, he still completed the task.
