77: The NPC team fell into a trap, the insidious plan of the Lord of Eboli
"Move! First, eliminate this group of Dark Believers, then figure out how to deal with the Azure Dragon God BOSS!"
The tone of the Aiboli City Lord was icy, filled with majesty and killing intent, a stark contrast to his previous kindness.
In order to lead his clansmen out of the Dragon Abyss Ancient Land, he decided to give it his all; anyone who blocked him, no matter who they were, was his enemy!
"Attack the healing squad of the Dark Believers!"
Lei Bu and the other elders also gave the order immediately, commencing combat operations.
But when this group of NPCs stepped into the battlefield ahead, a message popped up on Golden Niu's forehead: "Master, they've fallen into a trap. The Dark Believers have set an ambush. Should we warn them?!"
"Heh! No need to warn them. The good show is only just beginning!"
Qin Yun was in no hurry to let Golden Niu act; instead, he stood beside the Aiboli City Lord, quietly watching the show.
Whether it was him, the NPCs, or the Dark Believers, all three parties were both hunters and prey!
This was a game between hunters and prey, where the winner is the hunter and the loser is the prey!
Once all the NPCs had entered the battlefield, leaving only the Aiboli City Lord and Qin Yun standing where they were, the Dark Believers immediately turned around, sneering as they stared at the NPCs!
They had all completed Fusion with their Dark Lifebound Beasts, each looking like an emissary of darkness, with evil black power surging around their bodies and a bloodthirsty aura permeating the air.
"Form the array!"
Following the Dark Leader's command, the group of Dark Believers joined forces to activate a great dark array.
The next second.
The group of NPCs was enveloped by the great dark array, and they all swapped positions with the Dark Believers. In an instant, the NPC squad was facing the Azure Dragon God BOSS head-on, while the Dark Believers' team had moved behind them.
In an instant!
The NPC squad was caught in a pincer attack by the Dark Believers and the Azure Dragon God BOSS, with danger looming at every turn!
"Not good! These Dark Believers had a plan all along!"
The NPCs panicked for a moment, and could only hurriedly defend against the attacks of the Azure Dragon God BOSS.
"Keh! Did you think it was over just like this?"
The Dark Leader activated Faith Sacrifice, releasing all the corpses of the Dragon Monsters it had previously hunted from its backpack space to be used as sacrificial items.
Immediately after.
A gigantic dark divine shadow appeared in mid-air; the size of this dark divine shadow was like a mountain!
"The Divine King of the Otherworld Beasts, Oxi!!!"
The Aiboli City Lord was well-informed; seeing the form of the dark divine shadow, he immediately thought of the Divine King of the Otherworld Beasts, Oxi, recorded in the ancient books of his ancestors!
Zzz! Zzz!
With the appearance of Oxi's divine shadow, a terrifying and boundless dark field enveloped the entire area. The ground was covered in darkness, and thick black mist emerged.
【Ding, the Dark Leader has triggered the Beast God Skill: Dark Field of the Divine King of the Otherworld Beasts, Oxi, through Faith Sacrifice. You are bound in place, unable to move, and receive a certain amount of damage every second from the erosion of the black mist. While the Dark Field is active, besides self-recovery, no other method can restore lost HP!】
Seeing this rule prompt, Qin Yun immediately narrowed his eyes.
This Dark Leader is impressive!
Just by showing one hand, it had plunged the well-prepared NPCs into a predicament!
However, this HP drain did not affect Qin Yun, because Golden Niu's innate HP recovery speed was also a hidden effect, and it was extremely powerful!
It could be said that as long as Golden Niu was willing, she could maintain a state of rapid full health recovery at any time.
"Terrible! It's a Beast God Skill, we can't move, and our HP is dropping so fast! Lord City Lord, please think of a solution, otherwise we're all going to be wiped out!"
The NPCs were completely panicked.
They knew the Dark Believers weren't simple, but they hadn't expected them to be this strong. The person who acted was clearly a super big shot among the Dark Believers, actually able to unleash the effects of a Beast God Skill through sacrificial means!
At this moment, the Aiboli City Lord's expression also became grave; he seemed to be contemplating a way to break the situation.
But Qin Yun noticed something was wrong.
If the Aiboli City Lord were thinking of a way to break the situation, it would stand to reason that he should also act first to suppress the Dark Believers, rather than taking no action at all.
"This old guy has something up his sleeve!"
Qin Yun kept his guard up.
The other Dark Believers acted quickly; under the Dark Field, their combat power was greatly enhanced, and their movement speed and other stats were also significantly increased.
Clearly, this Dark Field was a comprehensive status Beast Skill that could suppress hostile targets and also boost friendly targets; the effect was very strong!
It truly lived up to being a Beast God Skill of the Divine King of the Otherworld Beasts, Oxi!
And this was only a Beast God Skill released through a sacrificial method, not the complete Beast God Skill, so the effect was still heavily discounted.
From this, one could roughly analyze that the true strength of the Divine King of the Otherworld Beasts, Oxi, was definitely something Qin Yun could not currently imagine.
"Roar!"
The Azure Dragon God BOSS was also suppressed by the Dark Field. It seemed to hate the Master of this Beast God Skill, the Divine King of the Otherworld Beasts, Oxi, and entered Berserk Mode!
The Azure Dragon God BOSS erupted in green light, its self-recovery speed maxed out, allowing it to ignore the continuous HP drain effect of the Dark Field!
"Not good! Get ready to block the Azure Dragon God BOSS's attack together, it's about to use its ultimate move!"
Lei Bu's old face changed drastically.
"Elder Lei Bu, we can't! The Dark Believers' offensive is too fierce; we're struggling just to defend against them, we can't pull away!"
Saki-Ma and the other NPCs felt like their heads were going to explode.
"Lord City Lord, stop thinking, hurry up and act!"
"Young Friend Qin, quickly call Young Friend Qin to act; with his Divine-Grade Lifebound Beast Skill, perhaps he can help us break the situation!"
But when the group of NPCs looked at Qin Yun and the City Lord, they were instantly filled with despair.
Because both their City Lord and Qin Yun seemed to have no intention of acting—one with a deep gaze, the other with a calm one.
"How can this be? Our City Lord isn't acting? Does the City Lord intend to watch us be wiped out with his own eyes?"
Some NPCs began to waver.
"Hmm?"
Seeing that old man Aboli pretending to be deep in thought, with no intention of saving his clansmen, the Dark Leader also felt suspicious, and at the same time, became vigilant.
After activating the Faith Sacrifice, the Dark Leader did not join the battle again, but instead stayed on the sidelines, keeping a close watch on the Aiboli City Lord.
It knew very well that not just anyone could be the City Lord of a Safe City!
That required passing the test of the rules!
For this Aiboli City Lord to become the City Lord of a Safe City, his strength was definitely not weak, at least not much worse than its own!
Naturally! It had to keep an eye on this old man!
As for Qin Yun, the Dark Leader didn't take him seriously for the moment; it wouldn't be too late to pull him into the faction after dealing with this group of NPCs.
If he dared to disagree, then it would just have to send him to the afterlife!
At this moment, the Aiboli City Lord finally spoke.
But his words left the NPC clansmen who were in danger feeling completely hopeless!
"Young Friend Qin, no need to act. All of this is within my mission plan. If you act now, you will be judged as having failed the mission!"
"This!!!"
Qin Yun had no choice but to temporarily follow the City Lord's instructions.
"Why? Lord City Lord, why is this?"
The desperate NPCs collectively issued a Soul-searching question.
But the Aiboli City Lord did not respond to them.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon God BOSS was also at peak state, launching its Dragon Breath talent attack effect: "Roar! All who intend to trespass into the Holy Temple shall be destroyed. Sea-Quaking Dragon Breath!"
The Azure Dragon God BOSS violently spewed a wave-like Dragon Breath at the NPC squad, the range of damage affecting the entire battlefield.
The next moment, the battlefield erupted with violent explosions, like the roaring of the ocean. Effects like deep-sea depth charges appeared continuously, creating ripples of water light, as if placing everyone in a deep-sea purgatory.
The sounds of explosions, screams, and desperate wails became the main melody of this battlefield!
