“What do you mean?”
“Think about this. In the past, there was no such thing as Monster Mode or Boss Mode in the game, which made the monsters in the game very stupid. But why did Firmament want to implement this? It’s very simple: this can improve the challenge difficulty and antagonism. If the game company had to organize activities such as Monster Sieges, it would be costly and the details may be distorted. However, it is different if we, the monsters, organize to siege. It doesn’t cost the game company a single dollar, but can provide challenges and stimulate Adventurers. The company will be more than happy to do this.
“In fact, the Adventurer players themselves are happier. Think about it, everyone would rush to go online when there was a Monster Siege in the past.”
After hearing what Xiao Yu had said, Derek and Blake Rhode were suddenly enlightened.
While they were having a heated discussion, the Gnoll Hogg and the Kobold Golden Tooth showed confused looks. Obviously, they could not understand such a profound conversation. Although Golden Tooth did not care much because he was too timid to stand there foolishly, Hogg was unhappy.
Hogg (Gnoll Leader) said, “Hogg does not understand what you are talking about, Hogg is very unhappy!” Hogg seemed to not be able to understand Xiao Yu’s words and said with anger, “Hogg does not want to join. Hogg is leaving.”
Seeing that Hogg was leaving, Golden Tooth was about to leave as well. Obviously, this guy was obeying Gnoll’s orders. Xiao Yu felt anxious. Once they left, the meeting would be a complete failure. The players were the most willing to avoid danger. If some people left, Blake Rhode would not join the meeting.
However, before he tried to persuade them to stay, Derek was more anxious than him. He had put in a lot of effort to advance to Rare Elite, and had thought that he could run amuck. Unexpectedly, he was still being beaten when he ran into players. It took him a lot of effort to attack one player, not to mention the fact that the players would generally go out in groups. In addition, Rare Elites would drop good equipment when killed. As a result, his life did not get better after advancing to Rare Elite, he had only gotten himself killed many times and spent thousands of dollars to revive. That was really tragic. Now, when he heard that he could have a chance to advance to Elite Mode, he could barely hold back. He could clearly remember the scene of how Hogg had killed all kinds of Adventurers easily. He was really powerful and impressive.
Moreover, he was shocked by the fact that the two monster leaders in front of him were players. If he could be the leader of a Monster Force, that would be quite cool.
Seeing Hogg and Golden Tooth walking out of the tower, he had quick wits in an emergency and said to Xiao Yu, “If you help me kill Hogg and let me become the new leader of the Gnolls, I’ll bring the Gnolls to join you.”
Xiao Yu was quite impressed when he heard that. “This guy is pretty good at seizing the opportunity,” he thought. But Hogg was too strong, so Xiao Yu had no confidence in defeating him solo, or even with help from Derek. He looked at Blake Rhode. “Brother Rhode, what do you think?”
Blake Rhode suddenly pulled out the two daggers on his waist, then he looked at them under the moonlight with the lonely expression of an ace. He then turned his head and smiled coldly. “What an interesting thing. Count me in. I’m willing to join you.”
“Damn, would you die if you didn’t make poses?” Xiao Yu rolled his eyes in his heart, but his face was full of surprise. “That’s great. Since that’s the case, why don’t you show your faith and help us kill Hogg?”
“No problem, you start attacking the monster first and I’ll follow you.”
Xiao Yu was full of confidence when Blake Rhode nodded and agreed. “Okay, Derek, let’s invite Hogg back. I’ll summon a Fire Elemental later, and when I signal with a Flame Missile, let’s attack together.”
“Deal.”
Xiao Yu hurriedly ran out with Derek. “Don’t leave, Boss Hogg, there’s something else I wish to tell you.”
However, Hogg did not turn back but showed a wary look. “Hogg is very angry and doesn’t want to listen to you.”
“But I have a treasure for you.”
“Treasure? Hogg loves treasure!” said Hogg, blinking his fierce, little eyes.
Xiao Yu thought that Hogg’s IQ was a little worrying—Hogg’ had walked into the trap immediately when he mentioned the treasure. But anyway, he liked that.
“Please come back then, the treasure is in the tower.” After that, Xiao Yu turned around and went into the tower first.
Golden Tooth wanted to leave, but when he saw Hogg go back into the tower with two Gnoll guards, he had no choice but to follow Hogg.
Back at the Watch Tower, Xiao Yu turned back and looked at everyone. As soon as everyone was ready, he bit his teeth and started attacking.
However, Hogg looked around, puzzled. “Where’s the treasure that you were talking about?”
“The treasure is here, look—”
Xiao Yu raised his staff and started summoning a Fire Elemental.
A red summoning circle appeared on the ground, then fire emerged from several runes and gradually condensed in the air, forming a two-meter-tall Fire Elemental.
This Fire Elemental had an HP of 200, with immunity to fire-type spells. When attacked by ice-type spells, their damage would double. It had two skills: Fire Arrow and New Star of Fire.
Hogg was scared and took a step back.
Hogg (Gnoll Leader) said, “This is not a treasure, it’s a monster. Hogg doesn’t like this monster.”
Xiao Yu suddenly raised his staff and shouted, “Now!” As he raised his hand, a string of Flame Missiles bombarded over.
Bang! Bang! Bang! In a burst of explosions, damages of -6, -7, -8, -8, -7 were dealt. A Flame Missile only made Hogg lose 30 or 40 HP. There was no other way, Hogg and Xiao Yu were both Elite monsters with 20% damage reduction and high resistances.
Xiao Yu’s Flame Missile was like a signal. Instantly, the three Orc brothers, Blake Rhode and the two Bandits under him, and Derek rushed forward. The Fire Elemental hit Hogg right in the face with a Fire Arrow.
After a round of attacks, they managed to beat Hogg’s HP down by a quarter, but Hogg also reacted immediately.
“Hogg is mad, Hogg wants to eat you!” He yelled, “Attack!”
The two Gnoll guards behind him rushed up immediately with a roar, but they were stopped by the two human Bandits under Blake Rhode’s command. Golden Tooth, together with a few Kobolds behind him, were freaked out. He instinctively wanted to obey Hogg’s orders, but on the other hand, he hated Hogg, and he was scared to fight with the enemies in front of him. When he finally summoned his courage, bit his teeth, and rushed up with a pickaxe, Derek stopped him with a forward charge.
“Get out of the way, this is none of your business,” said Derek fiercely.
The Kobold was really useless. Although Golden Tooth was a leader, he was still too afraid to face a Gnoll together with four Kobold subordinates, and could only hide in the corner.
