Chapter 387: Tunnel Battle

As of 2:00 a.m. on May 17, the results of the first round of [Cocoon War] and the list of playoffs have been announced.

Because it is in sleep mode, there is a full ten hours between 1:00 and 2:00. As for 1v1, no matter how long the protracted battle is, it should be over. The remaining time before 2:00 is the time for the system to calculate and the staff to sort out relevant information.

When Xiao Tan finished a script and returned to the login space, he received a system prompt and learned that he had advanced. It seems that Bei Ling's investigation and analysis is indeed reliable. Even in the winner group, the record of 42 wins is not the bottom.

In the next two days, Xiao Tan, who had more free time, devoted himself to the practice of spiritual arts with the company of Bei Ling.

He finally bought a cost-effective and useful spiritual skill in the horror box:

[Name: Draw a cross to curse you]

[Skill card attribute: active skill, permanent master]

[Skill category: spiritual skill]

[Effect: Curse a target, and your next attack will cause 10% additional damage to the target (can only be cast on non-friendly targets within your sight and within 50 meters; the target can feel that he has been cursed; can be cast on the same target multiple times, but the effect will not stack)]

[Consumption: spiritual power value 2 (cooling time 5 minutes, unlimited duration until it takes effect)]

[Learning conditions: spiritual skill specialization f]

[Note: The basic Taoist technique contained in the Wu-I chapter of the Seven Chapters of Guigu. This move was created by the 250th generation direct descendant of Guigu Taoism. Whenever he meets someone he doesn't like, he will use this spell to put psychological pressure on him, making the other party have the illusion of being haunted by ghosts. Then he will lure the other party to the "supernatural detective agency" he runs for consultation, and finally achieve the dual goals of rectification and blackmail. 】

This skill is very helpful for brushing the proficiency of spiritual arts specialization. A player at level 35 already has 350 spiritual power points, and the consumption of only two spiritual power points can be almost ignored.

Xiao Tan's spiritual arts specialization is level E, and the success rate of his spiritual arts skills is 40%. Even if he only succeeds once every three times, on average, he only needs six spiritual power points to release a skill. Skills will not enter cooldown if they are not successfully released. Therefore, what Xiao Tan has to do is... every five minutes, spend two to six spiritual power points to use this skill once. In this way, at most 72 points are used in an hour, and the spiritual power will be used up in five hours. During this period, the skill has been released at least fifty times.

The actual situation tested in the script is obviously much more optimistic than the above account. Basically... as long as Xiao Tan enters the long-term script, he can guarantee the efficiency of brushing once every five minutes in the first eight hours.

Moreover, this thing has no clear restrictions on the target, as long as it is "non-friendly", that is to say... crows on the tree, turtles by the river, anything is fine.

So, in the past two days, players who have encountered Xiao Tan and Bei Ling in the team script. You can often see this scene - the guy named [Wang Tanzhi] in the team will cast his eyes on a nearby living creature every five minutes. This living creature may be an ant, a monster, or a passing NPC; when the target is locked. Brother Wang will silently draw a cross on the palm of his hand, and mutter in his mouth: "Curse you..."

Under this very targeted strategy, on the afternoon of May 18, Xiao Tan upgraded his spiritual skills to level D. However... it stopped there. Until the second round of [Cocoon War] began, he did not upgrade to level C.

On the evening of May 19. Xiao Tan's level has reached 36 smoothly, and he has also acquired a new fighting skill through the script:

[Name: Binding Fang]

[Skill card attribute: Active skill, disappears after using twice]

[Skill category: Fighting]

[Effect: Use the palm to send out a giant tooth-shaped impact, binding the target to the nearest plane (cooling time is 30 seconds, the target must have a physical body)]

[Consumption: Physical value 300]

[Learning conditions: Fighting specialization C, this skill card cannot be traded after picking up]

[Note: This move is derived from ordinary beast spirit summoning, and the inventor is Roy Sekel, the half-bear lord. From any angle, Sekel is a spell genius. He is not only proficient in the druid spells of his own tribe, but also has made great achievements in necromancy. He is a unique and outstanding person who masters both the energy of nature and death. ]

In the past two days, Brother Jue deliberately let Xiao Tan and Bei Ling queue up together, because their levels are close and their strengths are similar, so the effect of leveling up in a team is the best. If I get involved, the situation of the script will be hard to predict...

From the results, this move is quite effective.

…………

Finally, at 1 a.m. on May 20, the second round of [Cocoon War] arrived as scheduled.

[The second round of Cocoon War is about to begin. Your data will be loaded in 30 seconds. Please do not leave the login space. ]

[Countdown before loading for ten seconds, nine, eight, seven... two, one. ]

Unlike last time, Xiao Tan was teleported directly this time.

"The cocoon of the deep forest is sleeping for three times, and the softness of the fingers is tempered by a hundred times." When the opening words sounded, the dazzling white light blocked Xiao Tan's vision, forcing him to close his eyes.

[Loading completed, you are currently playing the Peak Hegemony - Cocoon War. ]

[This mode has no script introduction, no side/hidden tasks and special world view. ]

[Script victory reward: advance to the top 720]

[Main task has been triggered]

[Kill the opponent]

A series of voice and window prompts quickly appeared and disappeared.

Xiao Tan immediately gained the ability to move.

He opened his eyes and found that the light around him was dim, but there were still some light sources.

At this moment, he was in a tunnel. On the wall on his left hand side, there was a dim light bulb installed every ten meters or so, about three meters above the ground, extending all the way to the distance. With the help of these lights, he could roughly see the situation in the tunnel.

Xiao Tan observed it and initially speculated that this should be a tunnel for trains to pass through... First, there was a rail under his feet, and secondly, the rail was obviously not electrified, and the rail was covered with gravel. In addition, this tunnel was arched, and the height and width could only accommodate one train, and there was only one rail.

Then... the question is... what should we do if the train comes?

According to the usual malicious style of this game, since the map is arranged in a tunnel, the train, which is full of dramatic effects and will catch players off guard, will definitely come...

"Well... let's see who the random opponent is..." Xiao Tan looked around and didn't see the opponent's figure, so he came to the side with the light bulb, stuck to the wall, slowly moved forward, and opened the game menu.

"Eh? Brother Long?" Xiao Tan glanced at the menu and saw that the ID was [Long Aomin].

Long Aomin was the first friend that Jue Ge and Xiao Tan made after entering the horror park. He was also a close friend, so they often went to rehearse scripts together. Just five days ago, Xiao Tan and Brother Long rehearsed the script together. At that time, Long Aomin joked that maybe the two could meet in the semi-finals. Unexpectedly... a joke has now come true.

"This is not good..." Xiao Tan thought.

He was very familiar with Long Aomin's skills, title abilities, and fighting style. Of course, he was familiar with them as teammates... but fighting against them was another matter.

In addition, the news that Long Aomin defeated Meng Jingchan two days ago was also a sensation. Although Meng Jingchan later returned to the winner's group through the play-offs, Brother Long still became famous in one battle.

Facing this familiar yet unfamiliar opponent, Xiao Tan was under a lot of pressure.

Because he knew the opponent's strength, he felt that he had no idea where to start... He understood why Meng Jingchan lost at the beginning. As a melee player who was also known for his "cleverness, speed, and agility", Xiao Tan couldn't figure out how to break Long Aomin's defense.

"Brother Long should be an opponent of the same level as Qi Sha... It seems that we can only win in danger..." Xiao Tan was still thinking about tactics in his heart.

Unexpectedly, a familiar shout came from the far end of the tunnel.

Long Aomin was straightforward and howled directly, "I'm here! Come on!" (To be continued...)
