80: Humanoid monster

The news of a newcomer entering the twelfth floor was also spread on the school's forum by busybodies.

After all, this news was indeed quite explosive.

What surprised people even more was that the one who entered the twelfth floor was a newcomer from the Fire Institute.

Many people were speculating about Li Changkong's identity, and his identity was quickly investigated.

Among them, the most excited were some students from the Fire Institute.

The Fire Institute itself had a very low status in the academy, so people always looked down on the students there.

Li Changkong getting first place in the Newcomer Grand Competition had already earned the Fire Institute a lot of Face.

And this time, breaking into the upper levels of the Black Tower was even more unexpected.

Students from the Fire Institute had been feeling suppressed for a long time.

With a powerful Genius emerging this time, they naturally supported him immensely.

However, the most delighted one should have been Hou Wen, who stood by.

He had just put fifty million into the bet, which was more of a spur-of-the-moment act of defiance.

As Li Changkong's level climbed, the odds for the twelfth floor had already reached twelve to one.

Even if Li Changkong couldn't break into the thirteenth floor, he would still make a huge profit.

The initial investment of fifty million had now instantly turned into six hundred million.

If he used these six hundred million to buy equipment, it would be enough to purchase a complete set of Advanced gold-grade equipment.

However, Li Changkong did not stop on the twelfth floor but continued to advance.

After more than ten minutes, he stepped into the thirteenth floor.

Li Changkong, who had been smooth sailing, gradually began to struggle at this point.

Moreover, he found that after the tenth floor, the Black Tower seemed to only feature humanoid monsters.

On the thirteenth floor, there were two warriors, both level 30 blue bosses.

After a battle, Li Changkong barely managed to break into the fourteenth floor.

And on this floor, two level 30 purple bosses appeared.

Standing in front was a Shield Warrior holding a massive shield, his body towering at three meters tall.

Behind the Shield Warrior was a mage.

The mage was clad in a red robe, emitting a red glow.

Seeing the combination before him, Li Changkong couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He didn't expect these monsters to have formation distributions.

The Shield Warrior would hold his shield and block in front, while the mage could stand behind and attack.

As soon as Li Changkong stood firm, the mage's staff in his hand already began to wave.

A green light, accompanying the waving of the mage's staff, struck towards Li Changkong.

But the opposing magic did not land on Li Changkong; instead, it formed a muddy swamp at his feet.

And from time to time, green lights would emerge from the swamp, continuously corroding Li Changkong.

"A poison-attribute mage?"

Feeling the abnormality, Li Changkong quickly reacted.

Mages have many attributes, and among them, the most difficult to deal with are dark and poison attributes.

Dark-attribute mages are extremely rare, and their skills are very unpredictable.

Compared to ordinary mages, their strength is much greater.

Poison-attribute mages, on the other hand, can use various poisons to annoy others.

But the opponent had already cast, and Li Changkong quickly distanced himself from the muddy swamp.

Immediately, an Ice Cone spell shot forward, targeting the poison mage.

A level five Ice Cone spell had already formed more than ten ice cones; if it landed on the low-health poison mage, it would surely take off a layer of his health.

But before the ice cones could fall, the Shield Warrior, who was blocking in front of the poison mage, had already raised his shield.

He firmly blocked the more than ten ice cones that shot towards them.

Just as Li Changkong had guessed, the mage and the Shield Warrior were indeed a coordinated lineup.

However, Li Changkong did not panic; instead, he commanded his two beast companions to attack the Shield Warrior.

For a time, the Shield Warrior naturally had no time to deal with Li Changkong.

But he still firmly guarded the mage; as soon as Li Changkong used a skill, the Shield Warrior would block it immediately.

And the Shield Warrior's health seemed endless; facing the attacks of the two beast companions, his health barely decreased.

All of this was naturally seen by Li Changkong, but he was not flustered.

Since ranged attacks were not effective, Li Changkong immediately drew his undead blade.

The two bosses on the opposite side were clearly surprised to see Li Changkong draw a short knife.

In fact, the most difficult point in the Black Tower's Late Stage should be that the number of monsters gradually increases, and they begin to cooperate.

Most professional players, whether in dungeons or Secret Realms, go in teams.

This way, their skills and combat styles are more geared towards teamwork.

The advantages are obvious: they can use more skilled cooperation to achieve a combat power greater than the sum of its parts.

But the disadvantages cannot be ignored: once they become solo players, their combat power will significantly decrease.

Even a level 40 expert would find it extremely difficult to defeat two purple-grade level 30 bosses.

What's more, the opponents could cooperate with each other, making it impossible to touch the mage behind them.

But Li Changkong was different; first, the presence of his two beast companions helped him to tie down one of the bosses.

At this moment, Li Changkong had already rushed to the front of the poison mage.

Before the poison mage could react, the undead blade in his hand slashed towards the poison mage's body.

A massive amount of damage appeared above the poison mage's head.

His originally full health bar had now turned into one-tenth.

The Shield Warrior on the side, seeing this, quickly tried to defend.

Although he could block ranged attacks, he simply couldn't block this kind of close-range attack.

And the design of this stage was clearly aimed at dealing with powerful mages.

Once a mage is tied down, it's a dead end.

Someone like Li Changkong, who practices Dual Cultivation of magic and martial arts, was almost the enemy's bane.

After finding the trick, this battle ended very quickly for Li Changkong.

As the two bosses fell to the ground, it announced Li Changkong's victory in this battle.

Looking at the two bosses on the ground, a smile finally appeared on Li Changkong's Face as he stepped towards the fifteenth floor.

Outside the Black Tower, more and more teachers and students gathered.

Seeing the light on the fourteenth floor dim and the light on the fifteenth floor brighten, a burst of exclamations erupted.

A newcomer breaking into the fifteenth floor in the Black Tower was almost an impossible feat!
