Chapter 174: Breaking through the Illusion
?Wang Dawei looked at his surroundings.
?The fairy-like Li Huanzhen appears in a world of cyber technology, which seems quite inconsistent.
?This scene seems to be pieced together from the roofs of several skyscrapers. Overpasses made of cold steel pipes and messy materials connect these roofs together.
?Wang Dawei saw some robots walking around, but these robots did not actively attack him.
“If it’s an NPC, can I go up and ask for directions?”
?Wang Dawei was thinking as he walked forward, but as soon as he took two steps, the whole scene shook, and Li Huanzhen''s steps became staggering, and he even had to stop in the end.
??A huge humanoid mechanical monster slowly rose from the roof of a skyscraper in the distance, its eyes like searchlights, shining on Li Huanzhen!
?It looks as if it is as huge as standing tall on the sky, with densely packed mechanical arms on its body, and these mechanical arms seem to be able to freely deform and expand.
??The dark shadow pressed down, Wang Dawei was startled, and quickly controlled Li Huanzhen to get out of the way.
“Boom!”
There was a loud noise, and a huge mechanical arm took a picture of the shadow where it originally appeared. Debris flew everywhere and smoke billowed!
Seeing that the next palm was about to be taken, Wang Dawei quickly controlled Li Huanzhen and ran forward!
At the same time, the black dragon was also being attacked by the big hand.
Although the two people are separated in two different worlds, the situations they encounter are similar.
??It''s just that Wang Dawei''s side is a huge humanoid mechanical monster, while Black Dragon''s side is a huge thousand-armed Buddha statue.
As a streamer who never watched the plot or map mechanics, Heilong simply chose to be tough. He simply advanced directly towards the giant Buddha. Every time the giant Buddha''s palm was slapped, he would directly deflect it with a perfect parry.
?Wang Dawei, on the other hand, did not have this kind of technology at all, so he could only run away in a panic while trying to find a shelter.
What makes people feel desperate is that this level scene is actually filled with various mechanisms!
?There are bottomless cliffs, dangerous single-plank bridges, rain of arrows that will be shot out after stepping on the mechanism, and large axes hanging in the air swinging back and forth...
??Although Li Huanzhen is very mobile and there are many grabbing points where you can use hooks in the game, he can still easily collapse under the interception of the mechanism and the attack of the mechanical arm.
What’s even more outrageous is that this BOSS battle also has a “catastrophe” mechanism.
Every once in a while, the Big Buddha will take turns to quickly slap a small scene with many palms, covering almost 360 degrees without blind spots. Even if you parry perfectly, it is impossible to bounce them all away. As long as you can''t leave the scene in advance, run to the next one quickly. , that is, certain death.
Once one of them dies, the two will exit the scene and return to the resurrection point closest to the main hall of Shingon Temple to start over.
…
I have to say that this mechanical BOSS of Shingon Temple has become the biggest difficulty for the "Blind Lame Combination" since they challenged the game "Ascension".
Because this is a BOSS with a puzzle + map mechanism, players not only need to complete specific operations and not be killed by the giant Buddha, but also collect information on the map and find puzzle-solving elements.
??The black dragon was still as reckless as before, but he soon discovered that even if he could barely get to the side of the Buddha, he would not be able to cause much damage to it. He only cut off a piece of **** skin with a knife.
??Moreover, after getting close to the Buddha, various palm techniques will be used to accelerate the shooting, and the error tolerance rate is even lower. If you are not careful, you will die suddenly, and Wang Dawei will be killed as well.
?After trying several times, Black Dragon realized that this BOSS would definitely be impossible to defeat with reckless methods, so he could only pin his hopes on Wang Dawei.
But Wang Dawei''s situation is not very good either. His operation is mediocre, and it is already very hard just to survive the attack of the Big Buddha.
As for how to crack this level? Haven''t got a clue yet.
?The venue for this BOSS battle is not particularly large, nor is it particularly complex. Basically, it is just five or six open scenes, and a dozen or so well-connected routes connecting these five or six scenes.
Each of these scenes and routes has its own characteristics, and there are different notices posted at the entrance, such as: "Like stepping into an abyss", "Walking on thin ice", "Shaking candle shadow", "Busty bustling city", "Inspiring and enlightening", etc., that''s all Four simple words with no further explanation.
?However, based on the content of the notice and the situation in the scene, it can be roughly distinguished.
"Like the Abyss" is a very dark scene with low visibility and a deep ditch. If you are not careful, you will fall;
The "walking on thin ice" ground is made of various shaky shelves, which will fall if you walk too fast;
"Candle Shadow Shaking" is a special space with a large number of lighting effects. There are several switches in the room that alternately control all the lights. All lights can be turned off in a specific order. Of course, in the world of Xianxia, ??they appear as candlelight;
"Busty City" is a scene where a large number of NPCs gather, with various noisy sounds, and these NPCs have collision volumes, so their movement is limited;
In the scene of "Shaking the Deaf", there are various huge speakers, which can be turned up to make huge noises. The world of Xianxia is represented by bells, drums and various musical instruments.
In addition to the "bustling city", many NPCs can also be seen in other scenes and on the roads connecting the scenes. These NPCs are basically walking slowly along fixed routes. Under normal circumstances, Li Huanzhen will not be noticed, but if It will also fight back after being attacked.
Their health and attack power are very low, basically three swords each, but they will not drop anything after killing them. Wang Dawei was a little confused.
These scenes are obviously related to the mechanics of this BOSS battle. For example, you can hide for more time in the "Abyss" place, and it is relatively difficult to be discovered by the giant Buddha; while "Walking on Thin Ice" is very dangerous, and the entire scene will be covered if you take a picture. It may fall directly, so try not to get too close.
But is that all? It still doesn''t seem to help in clearing the game.
After persisting for a while, the situation took a turn for the better.
The little emperor from Daliang appeared!
?Of course, his appearance is still different from different perspectives.
??Wang Dawei is controlling the immortal Li Huanzhen. What he sees at this time is the cybernetic mechanical world. What he sees at this time is the little emperor in Daliang, wearing a dragon robe.
??Heilong was just the opposite. What he saw was the genius young hacker in the science fiction plot.
??This little emperor also entered this fantasy space for some reason. Unlike other NPCs, he would take the initiative to approach Wang Dawei and Heilong and guide them to specific places to hide. In this way, you can just avoid the "catastrophe of destruction".
As long as the player keeps following the little emperor, the player can persist in this scene for a long time.
?Wang Dawei originally thought this was the designer''s mercy, but after following it for a while, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Because the Li Huanzhen he controlled was always running for his life, and the best result was that he would not die, but he could not cause any harm to the Buddha at all.
But after searching the whole scene, I couldn''t find any mechanism that could hurt the Buddha.
Suddenly, Wang Dawei had an idea. He controlled Li Huanzhen and slashed at the little emperor!
?The little emperor screamed, and his left arm was cut off.
??The little emperor escaped instantly, and the mechanical monster in the space where Wang Dawei was located began to slap crazily with a more ferocious attitude!
But on the other side, Black Dragon asked in surprise: "Brother David! What did you do? Why did the Buddha here suddenly lose half of his hand?"
At this time, in the world where the black dragon was, the left arm of the Buddha was seriously injured and fell down and could no longer be raised.
But then, the Buddha continued to attack with the other intact arm, and the attack methods became diverse, not just slapping, but also grabbing and sweeping!
…
Wang Dawei was stunned: "That''s it! Brother Long! It turns out that he wants to kill the little emperor!"
“This game is really a bit inappropriate!”
Heilong still looked confused: "What little emperor?"
?Wang Dawei hurriedly said: "It''s okay, Brother Long, just hold on and don''t die, I''ll take care of it!"
?At this time, Wang Dawei finally understood how to play this BOSS battle.
Obviously, this little emperor is a complete puzzler!
?First throw the player into a dangerous environment, so that the player will die due to the attack of the Buddha and the map mechanism if they are not careful. Then throw a familiar and friendly NPC to the player and let him guide the player to avoid attacks.
?In this way, players will rely more on this little emperor, whether from an emotional or practical perspective, and will not draw a sword against him.
But in fact, the status of this little emperor is directly bound to the great Buddha in another world!
?Every time Wang Dawei hits the little emperor, it will appear on the giant Buddha in another world.
??But after being slashed once, the little emperor will run away quickly, and the player must use the map mechanism to catch up with the little emperor while avoiding the attack of the giant Buddha, and constantly attack him.
In the previous scenes, different mechanisms can be used to weaken the little emperor''s visual, hearing, movement and other attributes, so that players can better catch up and attack.
?Every time the little emperor is injured, the Buddha in the other world will be weakened, but the attacks will become more frequent and the attack methods will also change.
Fortunately, Black Dragon''s operation was indeed excellent. In this situation, he just clung to death and persisted for a long time.
Finally, as Li Huanzhen thrust the long sword into the little emperor''s chest for the last time, the whole scene collapsed!
The huge illusion turned into nothingness, and the screen gradually went black.
The next second, Wang Dawei and Heilong had returned to the main hall of Zhenyan Temple.
??The originally kind-hearted old monk was now covered in blood, and the flesh and blood under his cassock was constantly stirring, and he seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
“Congratulations, donor, you have broken through the illusion.
“I just don’t know whether what you are investigating is real or illusory?”
