Chapter 327: Death Castle (Part 1)
Just as everyone began to despair, Luo Jinrui's message on the World Channel allowed them to regain their confidence.
"Everyone whose total attributes cannot reach 30, build a defensive line outside the castle. Players who have raised them to 30 points can go inside to kill the World Boss; only then can we leave this world early."
Many players watching the World Channel immediately understood that they could only survive by killing the World Boss, so they began organizing others to block the army of Plant Monsters in the rear, just to have a chance at survival.
Other players also gradually recognized the reality and grabbed their weapons to face the Plant Monsters in the rear.
In an instant, various attacks rained down upon the Plant Monsters, causing them to suffer heavy casualties once again.
After rebuilding the defensive line against the Plant Monsters, the players notified each other, telling those who could raise their stats to 30 points to hurry into the castle and kill the World Boss inside.
Zhao Yuxin had originally been wondering why this group of players had changed their attitudes so quickly, until she looked at the World Channel and realized what was happening.
Seeing that this group of players was finally no longer infighting, Zhu Zhiquan immediately jumped out of the driver's seat, put on his Space Necklace, loaded it with various weapons and ammunition, and then entered the castle gate.
Other players capable of raising their total attributes to 30 points also entered the castle, and the surrounding players stopped pushing each other aside, silently making a path for them.
Zhu Zhiquan stood at the entrance and took a rough look, discovering that Lin Ziyao from their group had also come, but he did not want to greet him and prepared to observe the interior of the castle more.
At this moment, a rough voice came over. Zhu Zhiquan turned his head to look closely and saw a fat man organizing everyone to gather; this person was Chen Ligang.
Chen Ligang also noticed Zhu Zhiquan, immediately opened his arms toward him, and gave him a big hug.
Facing Chen Ligang's enthusiasm, Zhu Zhiquan was a bit unaccustomed to it, but choosing to push him away felt wrong, so he had no choice but to remain motionless.
After Chen Ligang finished hugging Zhu Zhiquan, he patted his shoulder and said, "Long time no see, Mute. How about it? Do you dare to compete to see who takes the Boss's head first!"
Zhu Zhiquan did not respond to Chen Ligang, but instead kept a vigilant watch on his surroundings to prevent the Boss from suddenly launching a sneak attack and taking them all out.
Chen Ligang did not care about Zhu Zhiquan's cold attitude and turned to look at the others. At this time, there were eleven people in the entire castle, each of them holding a determination to die.
Zhu Zhiquan looked at the entire interior of the castle and discovered that the floor area inside this castle was far larger than it looked from the outside; the hall was at least seven meters high and had a somewhat transparent chandelier.
There was also a row of rooms on both sides, some of which were open; it was estimated that the monsters had rushed out from here before and killed the players in the hall.
Zhu Zhiquan walked to the few vehicles that had entered earlier and discovered that the sides of these vehicles had been forcibly broken open by something. The players inside were long gone, and there was a pool of blood on the ground that extended toward the stairs.
"This brother here doesn't like to talk much on weekdays. Although I have cooperated with him once, I still don't know his specific name." Chen Ligang patted Zhu Zhiquan's shoulder and introduced him to the other players.
The other players seemed to be very familiar with Chen Ligang and trusted him implicitly. One girl with twin tails reached out to Zhu Zhiquan and introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Ma Linlin. What is your name?"
Zhu Zhiquan did not even look at Ma Linlin, but instead walked lightly to an opened door and looked inside.
The others also held their breath and began to observe the entire space. Seeing that Zhu Zhiquan had actually ignored her, Ma Linlin looked at him with a resentful expression, then raised the staff in her hand, and a Gray Magic Wave spread throughout the hall.
Suddenly, Ma Linlin fired a wind bullet at the chandelier on the ceiling, and a monster with a lower body like a transparent flower shaped like a chandelier and an upper body like a brown human fell to the ground.
The others turned around immediately upon hearing the sound, and seeing that it was a Plant Monster, they launched an attack without hesitation, beating the monster to nothing but scraps in a single instant.
But soon, a scream came from upstairs, and then a group of swift shadows ran down from the stairwell, pouncing toward the people closest to the stairs.
Fortunately, the strength of those who entered was generally at the upper level of this group of players. When they saw something coming down the stairs, their bodies reacted first, successfully avoiding the attack of these shadows.
After dodging the attack, everyone saw clearly that the shadows coming down were actually a group of monsters parasitized by some kind of Vine.
There were many types of these controlled monsters, but it seemed that because of the Vines, their strength levels had been raised quite a bit.
Rat-tat-tat~
Zhu Zhiquan took the Quantum Pulse Machine Gun directly from his Space Necklace, and a large number of bullets hit these monsters, causing a large amount of flesh and blood to splatter.
But even when these monsters were strafed by the machine gun, they were unwilling to retreat a single step and were still attempting to launch a charge at Zhu Zhiquan and the others.
Those monsters that were not strafed began to circle around, wanting to launch an attack on the players from the flanks.
The players also reacted at this time, immediately forming pairs to block the monsters circling behind, and intense fighting began to break out.
In an instant, the monsters parasitized by Vines were beaten into a steady retreat, which made Zhu Zhiquan's hands itch; he wished he could put away the machine gun right now and go in to fight.
Just after they had formed a suppression against the monsters, a large number of monsters began to swarm toward them from the stairs, and this group of monsters were all still monsters parasitized by Vines.
"Let me handle this, Freezing Wall!" A player wearing Sunglasses activated a skill, and an ice wall completely blocked the stairwell. The monsters behind had to destroy the ice wall first, otherwise they could only watch their companions get killed.
"We'll help you too!" Other players also seized the opportunity to activate skills on the foundation of the ice wall, causing several more walls to rise behind the ice wall as a buffer.
The monsters trapped at the stairwell were extremely anxious; they had finally destroyed the ice wall, only to find that there was another sturdy wall behind it.
They had originally intended to tear down the wall in front of them, but at this moment, a Magic Wave struck. This group of monsters seemed to have received some kind of order and began to tear down the wall on the left side of the stairs.
This time it took about two minutes, and the monsters parasitized by Vines chiseled open a large hole, but as soon as they poked their heads out, they were subjected to concentrated fire from the players.
It turned out that the monsters in the hall had already been killed by the players. When they chiseled open the wall, everyone was already preparing to concentrate fire, so all kinds of skills, bullets, and Arrows were directed at their faces.
And at the very top of the castle, a huge figure was looking at a mirror. This mirror was like a monitor, watching every move of the players.
There was a line in the middle of this mirror; to the left of this line, one could see the area 500 meters outside the castle, and to the right was the situation inside the castle.
The huge figure felt a bit disappointed seeing that the players outside refused to enter the castle no matter what.
And at his feet, one Vine after another connected to other types of monsters, as well as the players who had entered the castle first, except that even though they were all on the verge of death, the blood of several of them had already been drained.
At this moment, as blood was continuously infused into the huge figure's body, it kept repairing his already withered body.
