Chapter 17 I Have a Suggestion

Yes, this was the activation of the incredibly powerful set effect!!

Strictly speaking, the individual stats and quality of set pieces were slightly inferior to those of comparable Dark Gold equipment. This was because Dark Gold equipment generally didn't have negative attributes, while Green set pieces often had both obvious advantages and disadvantages. The value of sets often surpassed Dark Gold equipment due to their incredibly powerful set bonuses!

The current anomaly was a special effect triggered by Zi's set, the Rotten Mire: When you deal damage to an enemy, there is a certain chance to transform the ground around them into the environment of the Dubaiya Great Swamp, reducing their movement speed and potentially infecting them with various diseases. (Of course, the set's owner is immune to these negative effects.)

The three individuals who suddenly found themselves in the swamp were momentarily stunned and bewildered. For a normal person, being suddenly plunged into a swamp was quite a bizarre experience.

Saiboer was the quickest to react. Without a word, he splashed through the muddy swamp, turning to flee!

Yes! This old fox, despite his drastically reduced strength, still had sharp eyes. This wasn't just because he knew Zi very well, but also because of the harsh reality before him. Earlier, the three of them had surrounded Zi, even blinding her, yet they had gained no advantage. Now, they had been knocked back and were mired in the swamp. What was there to hesitate about? Of course, he would run as far as possible!

Truth be told, Saiboer wasn't moving very fast in the knee-deep Dubaiya mire. His only advantage was that he was running faster than the other two!

At this moment, the disadvantage of the three not being in sync became apparent. The Blinding Hunter single-mindedly wanted to carry out Zeus's orders, continuing to splash forward through the mud at high speed. The other Hunter was more cautious, intending to observe the situation.

With each of the three having their own ideas, how could they possibly cooperate and win?

As the Blinding Hunter charged towards Zi, Zi's powerful control skill, Force Barrier: Needles, had cooled down. Her eyes flashed, and her mental energy, as tangible as sharp needles, pierced deeply into his mind!

In agony, this guy immediately used his meritorious service potion (not for healing) to remove the stun effect and fiercely raised his dagger to stab at Zi! However, after enduring the blow, Zi unleashed another Force Barrier: Ram (Force Barrier: Ram was the first ability Zi had maxed out, with a short cooldown time of only 8 seconds, while the other cooldown times were relatively longer). She casually knocked him and the other charging Agile Hunter away.

This was the enormous advantage of the narrow terrain. In a normal environment, although Zi's Force Barrier: Ram was an area attack, its flight speed was a fatal weakness. The two Hunters would have had a good chance to dodge its impact, let alone the current situation of hitting two birds with one stone.

Next, Zi's crescent daggers swiftly lashed out. The Sith Demon's black claws mercilessly seized the Blinding Hunter's neck. By this point, his fighting spirit was completely gone. He immediately screamed and turned to flee. But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

He first let out a loud sneeze, which greatly affected his running speed. Then, having struggled through the swamp and Fang Senyan's poisonous mist, at this crucial moment, he bent over and coughed loudly!!

How could Zi miss such a great opportunity? This guy's Honor Restoration Potion was also on cooldown. After being brought to the brink of death by Zi, he once again died tragically under the Sith Demon's claws, further restoring a large amount of Zi's mental energy!

However, because he wasn't one of Skull's people and his kill value wasn't high, he didn't drop a Bloody Key.

Looking at Zi standing in place, her clothes stained with blood, her slender figure hidden in the loose robe, calm and composed, she gave people a feeling of being completely insurmountable! For a moment, she intimidated everyone, and no one dared to speak!

"Terrain-altering freak ability, undetectable negative status effects, and a Green set at the peak of the Awakened level…" Youda yin sinisterly said, "Most importantly, this chasm-like terrain, seemingly tailor-made for Zi, making it impossible for anyone to pass! Zeus, your information seems completely inaccurate. Taking her down will require the use of MT abilities."

Clearly, encountering such a siege required an MT to step forward. However, don't forget that Skull and Zeus were actually restraining each other, especially after Zi's words earlier.

If Skull charged forward and Zeus attacked from behind, it would naturally result in a wipe!

Similarly, if Zeus went up, he couldn't ignore the possibility of Skull attacking from behind! In this treacherous world, no one was willing to entrust their lives to others! Moreover, Skull had ample reason and benefit to do so.

Youda coldly said to Skull, "Boss, the situation is clear. If we're just trying to vent our anger, then continuing to charge recklessly is absolutely irrational. The gains are far less than the rewards! What benefits can we get from risking our lives?"

Skull narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, our Joseph, Cowie, and Trist might have died at the hands of these two people! Can their revenge be ignored?"

Youda said indifferently, "Precisely because they are dead,

so we cannot let the dead influence the lives of the living."

At this moment, Finaas suddenly walked over and said, "I have a suggestion."

"Feeling great, aren't you?" Fang Senyan sat down on a metal chair nearby, observing Zi's back with great interest. The loose robe occasionally outlined the revealing curves inside, creating a tempting allure.

Zi said lightly, "It's been a long time since I've fought on the front lines like this. It seems that your two sets must have been obtained from a world with Awakened Peak difficulty! I'm curious, how could you, as a bottom-tier Contractor, obtain such equipment?"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Fang Senyan protested, "What do you mean by bottom-tier Contractor? I object to your wording! As for how I got them... I found them at the market."

Zi said speechlessly, "Please don't insult my intelligence."

Fang Senyan sighed and said, "Anything is possible... By the way, there are four minutes and forty-eight seconds left before we return. According to my prediction, they probably won't send people to die in vain in the next wave. You'll have to face the might of an MT soon."

Zi said lightly, "I'm confident in blocking anyone head-on, but... I have a premonition that they definitely have a backup plan!"

Just as Zi finished speaking, Zeus and Skull simultaneously stood at the entrance of the passage.

Skull took out a black metal glove, a fierce look in his eyes, and bit down hard, crunching out a dent and chewing on it.

Zeus took a step forward and saw Zi on the other side. His expression became complicated, but he still slowly said, "Zi..."

Zi looked over coldly, but said nothing.

Zeus took a deep breath and said, "Ever since the day we broke up, I knew this day would come. Do you remember our original intention when we founded Illuminati? To create the strongest team in this space, but you, now you are hindering our dream from back then, you, are standing on the opposite side of us!"

Having said that, Zeus didn't make any movements, but the ground beneath his feet seemed to suddenly become brittle. It immediately collapsed under Zeus's feet, with dust flying, sinking to his knees!! His voice became agitated.

"So, please die quietly today!"

At this moment, Zi took a deep breath. This was originally a relatively enclosed space, but it was quite spacious. When Zi inhaled deeply, it felt as if a huge beast was breathing, as if she was inhaling a lifetime's worth of air into her body!

In the next second, faint, majestic roars rang out in the air, and an indescribable majesty emanated from Zi. In her slowly opening eyes, the golden vertical pupils sent a chilling sensation into the depths of one's soul.

The three diamond-shaped mental energy crystals slowly orbiting Zi also gained a thick layer of gold!

Dragon Bloodline Awakening!!

Saiboer was even more horrified at this time. He was very clear that Zi's Dragon Bloodline Awakening required more than 700 health points and more than 1000 MP points. This data had to be achieved when Zi was in her prime.

But at this time, Zi had clearly gone through several battles. According to Zi's previous situation, she had lost at least 30% of her health points and 40% of her MP points... But at this time, Zi transformed successfully without using any drugs.

This undoubtedly could only indicate one problem: Zi's MP and health points had almost exploded in a short period of time!

Thinking of this, Saiboer did not speak out to remind them, but instead took a few steps back. Having already been despised by everyone, he did not attract the attention of the others. For Saiboer, he was already considering the problem of Zeus taking himself as a scapegoat and punching bag if the attack failed.

I'm really sorry everyone, for the late update today. It was mainly because I was too scared to sleep last night, and I overslept after the examination.

But since I don't have cancer and I'm not dead, then I said there would be three updates today, so there will be three updates, please rest assured.
