Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

As the saying goes: If the enemy does not move, I will not move.

If the enemy moves, I will move.

The main responsibility of the giant vine demon is to block the blockade.

It is based on seven huge vines with elemental auras, supplemented by tens of thousands of slender vines, forming a seemingly overwhelming network.

Looking around, the entire area in front is blocked by a vine wall.

Like a curtain, also like a fence.

Even the light in front was affected.

Let Zong Shen's area become like a place covered by clouds.

However, the giant vine demon did not take the initiative to attack, but only maintained a blocking posture.

The bulb, which was more than a hundred meters in diameter, was half-buried in the messy and uplifted soil.

This kind of giant monster that resembles a plant is generally difficult to move quickly.

Their attacks and interactions with the outside rely more on those tentacle-like vines and branches.

And [Punishment Puppet (Gold)] stopped moving half a minute ago.

At this time, its position is relatively far back, with a solid value of 19,700 points, even though it consumes 15 points per second.

Even if there is no killing to replenish the strength value, it can stand still for more than 20 minutes.

Considering the level gap between the two sides, [Punishment Puppet] cannot be used as the main attacker this time, and it is simply left in the back position as a support.

Zong Shen considered these situations very clearly.

After experiencing so many battles, it has become instinctive to confront the enemy in battle.

When the abnormal situation first appeared, he naturally had preliminary countermeasures in his mind.

Now that the deployment of the giant vine demon has been completed, neither side has made the first move.

After the violent earthquake, everything calmed down.

But this calmness seems quite strange in front of such a giant monster.

Speaking of which, this forest looks ecologically perfect.

In fact, there are still a lot of weird things.

For example, Zong Shen never saw a single bird the entire time he was here.

Not even the chirping of insects was heard.

You must know that insects, birds and various small animals are vital links in the forest ecological chain.

Zong Shen could only attribute it to the effect of elemental magic.

During the brief confrontation, he decisively activated the strategy module to explore the attribute information of the giant monster in front of him.

[Detailed attributes: (click to view)]

…

A look of surprise flashed across Zong Shen's eyes.

This is a tricky monster.

Even though its level has not yet reached the legendary high level, its strength is no worse than the ordinary legendary high level.

With a high health value of three to four million points, and a basic bludgeoning damage of more than 6,000 points after ethnic bonus, its strength cannot be measured simply by levels.

Zong Shen understood before that the level was only a horizontal reference.

There are actually many factors that determine strength.

Factors such as ethnic talent, body shape, individual differences, skills mastered, etc. may make big differences.

Let’s take the giant dragon as an example.

There is no problem for a real dragon rated as a low-level legend to compete with an ordinary human strongman who is in the middle or even high level of the legend.

Xiao Heizi, who had only been strengthened once before, could basically walk sideways in the giant city.

Barring traps or ambushes, it can run amok in most situations.

The race of the takraw ball monster in front of me is the so-called giant vine clan.

What's more, it is also a giant vine royal family that has mastered the power of the seven elements.

This is a combination of various factors.

Originally, giant ethnic groups enjoyed additional attribute blessings.

Add another royal BUFF, and it will become a proper BOSS-level monster.

It's like being at the level of the noble Dragon King among the dragons.

Niubi, I didn't expect to catch a big fish here.

Just let me practice my skills.

Speaking of which, Zong Shen hasn't fought a BOSS battle for a while.

The battle in the giant city of Lentax was not entirely enjoyable.

Due to the disruption caused by the Calamity Raven Church and the coming of the Raven Divine Will, Zong Shen was unable to have a hearty fight.

Now is a good opportunity.

He already had itchy hands.

Taking advantage of the fact that the demon hunter's status was indefinite, he prepared for a good fight.

While he was secretly observing, [Seven Spirit Giant Vine King: Gulbin Jingteng] was not idle either.

It seemed as if it had formed a wall of vines and then stopped.

In fact, there are constant small actions behind the scenes, making fuss under the soil.

Another wave of vines spread underground, intending to surprise Zong with a front and rear attack.

Zong Shen was still as steady as a mountain, floating in place, surrounded by the faint sacrificial fire.

The detailed attributes of this guy emerged in his mind.

Just as he expected.

The [Strength] attribute of this Giant Vine King exceeds 10,000 points.

Secondly, [Wisdom] also exceeded 7,000 points.

The relatively poor [Charm] and [Agility] are both less than 1,000 points.

It can be regarded as a serious partiality.

The high [Strength] and [Health] are in line with the characteristics of the giant race.

The same is true for lower [Charisma] and [Agility].

As for the reason why the [Wisdom] attribute is higher, it can be attributed to the fact that it controls the power of the seven elements. This is a pure spellcasting gain.

In terms of skills, most [active skills] and [passive skills] are of the natural system.

This should be related to the essential nature of the Giant Vine Clan.

It has strong self-healing, thick skin, plant growth and other passive effects.

When taking root in the soil, you can not only gain additional health bonus and self-healing ability.

In addition, all vines can regrow quickly.

Including the bulb body is no exception.

And when necessary, the Giant Vine King can also perform explosive rebirth and recovery at the cost of losing health.

Most external damage can be restored in a very short time.

Apart from its natural abilities, its greatest feature is the power of the seven elements.

Mastered a variety of corresponding elemental magic respectively.

It covers protection, offense, control and other categories, and can also combine elemental skills.

It is equivalent to a great mage who has mastered seven series of magic.

Fortunately, the seven-element magic it can cast does not exceed level six at most.

Such intensity is still barely acceptable to Zong.

However, it is very troublesome to combine elemental magic, because many elemental systems have a mutually reinforcing relationship.

When combined properly, the effect of 1+1\u003e2 can often be achieved.

The most outrageous thing is that it can use any of its own vines as a carrier for casting spells.

This means that those thousands of slender vines will become unexpected casters.

Those vines are said to be slender, but in fact they are as thick as an adult's arm.

It was still roaring and windy as it was dancing in the air, which looked very intimidating.

And the seven huge vines shining with elemental aura are even more amazing.

Each one is two meters in diameter and looks like a giant soft pillar.

This guy's weakness lies in his seven elemental giant eyes.

Inside each giant eye is a corresponding magic core.

This is the origin of the seven elemental magic powers.

Finally, there is a core at the core of its body bulb.

If you can destroy the core, you can achieve a one-hit kill.

But this is difficult to achieve.

Because it has thick skin and tough flesh, it can also forcibly build up its nails through rapid growth and recovery.

To sum up, this is a thick-skinned, huge monster that also masters seven kinds of elemental magic.

The ensuing confrontation did not last long.

After Zong Shen basically understood the details of this guy.

The Giant Vine King's offensive is also ready.

On the ground two to three hundred meters behind, vines with hooks and thorns suddenly shot out.

At the same time, the vine wall that originally blocked the front also curved, changing from a flat surface to a curved surface.

Just like a closed clam shell, I want to catch a turtle in a urn.

But Zong was not panicked at all.

There was even a faint sarcastic smile on his lips.

The attack routines of these vine monsters are similar, and they generally use the vine entanglement and wrapping tactics, but compared with the previous vine monsters who joined forces to attack him.

The offensive launched by the Giant Vine King looks even more grand and spectacular.

When the two vine fences are about to close.

The roaring thunder struck Zong Shen first.

Just when there was no chance, Zong's figure blurred for a while and suddenly disappeared from the place.

His [Fantasy God Flash] is also not vegetarian.

When he reappeared, Zong Shen came to the side of the Giant Vine King.

The [Magic Thunder Breast Mirror (Luminous Level III)] on the chest flashes with black light.

The next second, a black beam of light shot towards the Giant Vine King.

There are also flipped blue lightning arcs on the surface of the beam, making it look like a high-speed rotating drill bit.

This is the effect of [Magic Thunder Shock Wave LV50].

It hit the side of the Giant Vine King's bulb body in an instant.

The blast of viscous slurry left a hole about a meter deep.

At the same time, hundreds of points of lightning damage occurred.

This damage is negligible, and its lightning resistance is relatively high.

While a one-meter-deep hole may seem scary, it is actually nothing compared to its 100-meter-diameter bulb. Such a powerful attack seems a bit underwhelming when used against the Giant Vine King.

However, Zong did this not for the lethality of this skill.

After the skill hit, the giant vine king's body surface was filled with erratic black mist.

This is a curse effect called [Devil Winding].

It can reduce the giant vine king's movement speed by 35%.

Due to the special structure of natural monsters.

This will also reduce the response time of the vine swing by 35%, which is Zong Shen's purpose.

The 35% debuff seems to be immediate.

With one blow, Zong Shen immediately disappeared from the spot.

The moment he left, dozens of fire spears penetrated his original location with orange trails.

Under [Devil Vision], he is color blind.

But after superimposing the effect of [Eye of Magic Sense], he became extremely sensitive to any fluctuations in magic power. When paired with [Flicker of the Phantom God], he was always able to get out of the way before the magic attack came.

This is a style of play that has the nature of being a hooligan.

After transforming again, Zong Shen already had a simple pocket watch in his hand.

This is [Pocket Watch Always Three Seconds Faster (Special)].

He pressed it lightly, and what would happen in three seconds immediately appeared in his mind.

The Giant Vine King saw that Zong Shen had high-level flash abilities.

So hundreds of vines were abandoned, and the different elemental auras attached to those vines formed a cage formation with a blocking effect.

Although this formation cannot completely stop [Fantasy God Flash], it can still stagnate it slightly.

At the same moment when the formation was formed.

A fist-sized magic core also shot out of the Giant Vine King's body.

The demonic core took advantage of the flash of stagnation and attached itself in front of Zong Shen.

Then he was wrapped into a big fruit.

This move may not be able to deal with him, but it is still considered a risk.

Images of the events that will happen in the next 3 seconds flashed through my mind.

Zong Shen casually threw a palm-sized doll.

This doll looks inconspicuous amid the sky full of vines and leaves.

At the same time, the foreshadowed situation began to unfold.

As expected, the Giant Vine King separated out its vines to form a sealing formation.

[Fantasy God Flash] Approximately a fraction of the sluggish time appears.

The mini magic core hit Zong Shen's chest as fast and accurately as lightning.

Thin roots instantly extend.

Those roots actually ignored the protection of the [Power Demon Armor] and rooted directly into the flesh.

In just the blink of an eye, Zong Shen was wrapped up into a purple-skinned fruit.

However, before the Giant Vine King could relax, the Demon Hunter's muscular body appeared next to the fruit.

The dolls Zong Shen threw out before were high-level [Stand-in Dolls].

Raise your palm and activate [Slow for three seconds].

There was a state of time regressing ahead, and the only one who was not affected was Zong Shen.

The fruit quickly disintegrated and fell away.

When the magic core happened to be attached to the doll's chest, Zong Shen intervened decisively and put the magic core into the storage compartment.

This thing is called [Demon Vine Seed], which is essentially the seed of the Giant Vine Clan.

It has both parasitic and corrupting effects.

Can be collected individually for taming and cultivation.

The premise is to first destroy the mother body or the remaining will of the giant vine mother body.

Its level has reached the third level of Yaoguang level.

It can be regarded as a high-level seed, and it can be brought back to the territory to play the cultivation system.

Cultivate a new Giant Vine King to protect the territory.

Speaking of which, this might be the origin of the Giant Vine King in this place of inheritance.

As a man who plays with time, the short passage of time on the battlefield means nothing to him.

In the eyes of the Giant Vine King, everything seemed to happen in an instant.

…
