Abnormal paradise

There has never been any clue that the Gardener symbiote and the Arbor clone are on the same team.

When Qiao Mu's clone single-handedly entered the Stairway of the Sun, it was destined that only one of the two final bosses would come out alive!

As for the relationship between victory and defeat, Ember prefers the Arbor clone, because killing the Gardener symbiote is the final step of the hidden mission. If the Gardener dies early, then Little Bob will lose his revenge goal, and mission failure is inevitable. If the Gardener survives , then killing the gardener can directly complete the main mission and hidden mission. Ember does not think the mission designer will be so kind.

The direction of the battle was similar to what Ember had imagined. Although the two sides were fighting inextricably, Qiaomu's clone gradually gained the upper hand. This was because when he was fighting the Gardener symbiote, he had already used the opponent's blood to make a part of his body. A piece of blood vine product transformed into its ultimate state, and the Gardener symbiote, which had a certain advantage at first, gradually lost all advantages due to lack of combat experience and skills, and was gradually suppressed by the Arbor clone.

At this moment, the sleeping staircase seemed to turn into a giant coiled snake, circling around and around the edge of the space, leaving only an open space in the center of the sea of ​​​​fire. The clone of Qiao Mu held a blood vine sword and was dressed in blood vine. The armor stood in the open space with a rather calm attitude, facing the fierce offensive launched by the Gardener symbiote.

drink!

The gardener symbiote, covered in scorching steam, jumped up from the fire and launched a brutal collision in the air. It hit the tree clone like a meteor on fire. The latter saw this and calmly dealt with it. Even a long sword was of no use to him. With a lot of force, the brutal collision was resolved with the force of four or two thousand pounds.

After one hit failed, the Gardener Symbiote quickly came back with another punch that rushed forward and hit Qiao Mu's clone.

However, this attack not only missed the target, but Qiao Mu easily dodged it and launched a counterattack. When the two passed each other, he crossed the blood vine sword and made a long and narrow crack in the gardener's waist.

Phew!

The blood vine breaks and blood splashes!

The gardener, who missed his target and suffered a blow, plunged into the sea of ​​fire, but the next second, the persevering figure jumped into the air again.

The battle rhythm that once made Ember feel extremely suffocated has become even more crazy now, because the gardener symbiote, covered in blood vines, can launch punches and brutal collisions almost non-stop. However, every attack he made would be easily resolved by Qiaomu's clone, either dodging or blocking with swords. Occasionally, he would seize the opportunity and counterattack on the spot in the midst of lightning, leaving a lasting impression on the Gardener symbiote. He opened the next wound, then reached out to get special blood, which was used to nourish the other two blood vine products on his body.

The reason why the contract of the Giant Tree Research Institute always refers to blood vine "products" instead of blood vine "accessories" is because Qiao Mu personally created a set of special equipment for his clone that was completely developed from blood vine. , rattan sword, rattan armor, plus a blood rattan necklace. The three blood rattan products correspond to three attributes respectively. If Yi Yan and the others arrive a little later, Qiao Mu's clone will be able to let the rattan armor break through after the rattan sword is promoted to the ultimate body. The shackles of life.

But when the three black knights broke into the battlefield, Ember made a bold judgment.

"it's over."

In his opinion, as long as the gardener has not been killed, the Arbor clone will only end in defeat. Even the special bottle of venom of the thorns will not be able to exert its maximum effect, because the main purpose of its existence is to allow players to survive in extremely bad situations. Under such circumstances, there is still a possibility of a comeback, but now it is not the players who need a comeback, so the bottle of special venom is no longer a help in times of need, but the icing on the cake.

At this moment, Qiao Mu needs to face, in addition to the red-eyed gardener symbiote, there are also three black knights, and Little Bob, whose attack power has been greatly enhanced as the glass of wine gets thicker, resembles a reality warper. All that Ember needed to do was to wear the Wind Vine Armor, pose and look awkwardly, wait quietly for the realization of his expectations, and protect the two remote outputs. It became a matter of convenience, and there was no need to even send out Thorns, who had become a tool man.

The closer to the end, the more Ember understands the role of Thorns in the plot. It is not only to create a sure-kill trap for players, but also to give players a chance to make a comeback in a desperate situation. It can be said that Thorns, whose true identity is the Apostle of Chaos, is the key to the entire plot. The biggest variable in the assessment is that even if she does not get the special bottle of venom through killing, forcing, etc., in the end she will take it out and join the players in resisting Qiao Mu.

Don't forget, the death order given to her by the Chaos Beacon was not just for players. Otherwise, this special bottle of venom would not have existed.

Ember even feels that if the player fails to completely avoid the sure-kill trap, then when Thorns obtains matches and blood vine products fused with the blood of the Gardener, he may grow into a final BOSS comparable to Arbor's clone, and be forced into a desperate situation. Players can seek the final opportunity to win through the battle between these two BOSSs.

However, none of the above situations occurred. At least in the ending stage, Ember got the simplest script, which made him feel a little uninterested.

It would be nice if there were more ending hints!

Every time you complete an important event and make an important choice, a reminder will appear that will affect the final battle.

"I remember that in Titans, wasn't there a reminder of the difficulty of the final battle? Such a user-friendly setting, why is it missing in Anomaly Park?"

"Huh? You don't know?"

As the glass of wine got thicker, he was busy attacking the high armor of Qiao Mu's clone, with a look of surprise on his face, but his eyes had no time to look at the embers:

"Many settings in the closed beta stage have actually been intentionally hidden or weakened, such as skill combos, the decisive battle prompts you mentioned, and level prompts. It seems that only serious nightmare difficulty or hell difficulty will appear. Singularity This is also done to prevent excessive proliferation of guides. After all, there are not many types of dungeons in the internal beta stage, and the main function is to experience the game. Otherwise, how could the two of us participate in this level of battle in advance."

"No wonder!"

Yan Yan watched the glass of wine getting thicker and was so focused that he couldn't even turn his eyes away. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Relax, there is nothing unexpected. At this time, Qiao Mu's clone has just come out of the trough at most, and even the blood volume has not been restored. The shield value He was also killed a lot. Depending on the situation, the Gardener Symbiote beat him quite badly before, but it was not until the blood vine sword reached its ultimate form that the situation was reversed."

"It can be said that even if Qiao Mu is not at his weakest now, he is actually not much different. Although the defensive shield value of that piece of vine armor is amazing, it still dare not resist the gardener's attack. Therefore, the damage ability is equal to the three gardeners. Black Cavalry, together with the two of you who are shooting cold arrows, as long as you are careful not to be accidentally injured by the gardener, then it is just a matter of how much time it takes to kill the tree."

Hearing this, as the glass of wine got thicker, he took the time to glance at Yi Yan, curled his lips angrily and said, "You seem to be very idle!"

"I've finished the most important things, so it's time for me to rest for a while, right?"

Seeing that everyone around him was busy besieging Qiao Mu's clone, Yi Yan felt relaxed and even had time to stretch his legs.

The blood vine armor on Qiao Mu's body, even though it had a super high shield value, began to slide down quickly under the crazy siege of six powerful outputs. He could avoid a gardener, but he might not be able to avoid three black knights. Not to mention the explosive fireballs and crit crossbows. As long as nothing goes wrong, the vine armor defense can be broken in about ten seconds, causing direct damage to the arbor clone. Even without using special venom, it can be eliminated by just slashing. Ember can also eat massive amounts through his followers. experience.

So Huan Yan didn't have to go up to join in the fun at all. He was indeed very leisurely and enjoyed it, because he had used up too much energy before and could not keep up at this time.

However, just in case, he still handed over the special venom for Qiao Mu's clone and handed him a glass of wine to thicken: "My mission is basically completed, but you still have an important mission. As long as Qiao Mu's armor is broken, , just shoot him with poisonous arrows to avoid long nights and nightmares, which is also the best use of everything."

"Remember, this bottle of venom can only be used three times, so I didn't have the chance to use it on the three black knights. I used it once myself. This means that you only have two chances to take action. I hope it won't be my turn to fight. Because that means we are very close to falling short of success."

Because the blood vine ring has been strengthened to the ultimate level, the damage capability of the increasingly thickening glass of wine has undergone earth-shaking changes. On the contrary, the output limit of the critical crossbow exceeds that of everyone present. Therefore, Qiao Mu also pays more and more attention to dodging and blocking crossbow arrows. Even if he is bombarded by fireballs or hit by long swords, he must avoid crossbow arrow damage. Therefore, the glass of wine that has always hit the mark has become thicker, and he has become so serious. It is really Because the hit rate was less than 30%, she felt very frustrated.

Hearing the provocation in Yu Yan's words, the glass of wine that missed the target was getting thicker. He did not take the venom directly. Instead, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm his restless mind as soon as possible, and then held the venom in his hand. With an extremely serious attitude, he said to Ember: "What if I can hit it?"

"Then I will give you a portrait, signed and printed."

"Forget it...I still don't know what kind of ghost you will paint me into..."

Seeing that he asked such a serious question, but got such an unreasonable answer, he said angrily: "Don't worry, you won't need to take action!"
