Not only the mercenaries and mages in the new shop, but the old players in the Jiuhua City Shop, the Half City Shop, and the Yuanyang City Shop were stupefied as well.

How can it be?! With such a high difficulty level, how can we play it with enjoyment?!

What was more? This was the lowest difficulty level…

Everyone knew that the Lickers were powerful. They had great hearing and could hear everything, including when one was walking, running, and even breathing.

Lickers couldn't walk upright, but they could climb the walls and ceilings with their powerful limbs and claws. With their super powerful jumps and swift movement speed, they could even dodge strafing firearms.

In the original version, the Lickers were not so powerful. After all, the players were not professional fighters.

But now, the Lickers in the game were as powerful as those in Resident Evil 1!

Tyrants were just as powerful if not more.

The players were astonished that they encountered these extremely horrifying monsters soon after the game began.

These powerful Tyrants and Lickers were hard to handle even if the mercenaries and mages had their cultivation strengths with them.

The ‘ma.s.s-produced' Tyrants were much more powerful than the first-generation Tyrants, and they wouldn't die even when they were plunged into melted iron. Unless grandmasters moved, spiritual spells could only tickle them. They were like human-shaped weapons!

But now, the players had to face such monsters as ordinary people!

This Tyrant obviously saw the main character controlled by the Blond Mercenary Crete.

“Ugh? What's this creature?” It didn't look like a zombie, but its iron-tower-like body, metallic skin, and cold inhuman eyes emanated a great suppressive aura onto the people when it looked at them.

Obviously, the new players in the new shop didn't recognize the Tyrant.

This big bald guy looks strong, but I have a gun with me!

At the same time, the female mage, Lilith, had a similar thought facing the Licker. Although the monster before me looks horrifying, I'm not afraid since I have a magical firearm that is more advanced than those firearms created by dwarfs.

At this moment, Leon already fired at the monster under Crete's control.

Bang! The guns fired.

Crete's eyes opened wide as the bullet which could shatter a zombie's head bounced off from the Tyrant's forehead!

Then, the Tyrant that had a iron-tower-like body strode over while almost ignoring the bullets before punching down.

The Tyrant's huge body create a gust. Its huge body didn't look nimble, but its speed surpa.s.sed the limit for humans.

More horrifying was that it had strong combat techniques.

Boom!

A big hole appeared on the ground as Leon's head was shattered like a watermelon!

Being forced to exit the virtual reality mode, Crete gaped at the scene on the screen. He turned his head and saw Claire under the Female Mage Lilith's control being pierced by a long tongue before she could react.

A thought struck these at the same time, Can anyone defeat such monsters…?

Meanwhile, the young fighters had also exited the virtual reality mode.

They stared at the screens in shock.

What are these monsters?!

“Isn't this mystical realm a basic one?!” Crete yelled. After all, only the basic mystical realms suppressed the partic.i.p.ants' strengths.

But this one…

The basic mystical realms built by mages with magical methods were usually used by beginners and thus wouldn't have monsters too powerful for their abilities. After all, even when masters entered such realms, they would try to show the beginners the combat techniques instead of escaping techniques.

But such powerful monsters were impossible for people other than true masters and G.o.dly spellcasters to defeat.

You even suppressed our strength and turned us into ordinary people! What is the meaning of this? 

What is the use of this game (mystical realm)? We can't even escape properly! Are we just coming here to die?

“This is the mystical realm with the worst design that I've ever seen!” after many failed attempts, Crete said with a snort.

As Chris's sister, Claire had strong combat techniques. Leon who had just graduated from the police academy was a genius. Combat techniques were not only fighting skills; there were also techniques in exerting force and how to better control one's self.

Not able to pa.s.s this stage, the young people glanced around and saw that the shop owner was also playing the game. After watching for a while, they pointed at Fang Qi's screen and said, “Why don't you try to dodge?”

On Fang Qi's screen, he was also facing the Tyrant.

One wall in the corridor had been shattered by the Tyrant with one punch.

At the moment when the Tyrant charged forward with a punch, Fang Qi took a couple of swift steps and kicked the wall in the corridor with perfect timing.

Then, he stomped the wall, and the repulsion force sent him behind the Tyrant. Then, he stood up and left, getting out of Tyrant's attack range without a fuss.

For ordinary people, after they died several times in the game that was too difficult for them, they would either change the game setting illegally, or clear the stage with other cheats, or just give it up.

But for masters and lovers of games, they had different thoughts about the games.

With greater difficulty and challenges, these players would get greater enjoyment from the game even though the journey was full of hards.h.i.+ps.

It was the same case with the true masters who walked step after step toward their goal with determination. They loved challenges and were not afraid of hards.h.i.+ps, setbacks, and failures.

“Why can't you handle a more powerful opponent? What did you do when you encountered such a situation in real life?” Fang Qi asked.

“But this is a mystical realm!” Crete refuted loudly.

“Perhaps. But for me, it's just a game,” Fang Qi said mildly while controlling Leon to dodge the Tyrant's pursuit. “Dodging its harsh attacks and finding its weaknesses before defeating it with any method you can is the wisdom of playing games.”

It was the fun of games to defeat seemingly invincible enemies with one's own wisdom.

The others froze, looking as if they understood something.

Meanwhile, the players in the old shops encountered the same problem.

Nalan Hongwu looked at his screen in frustration after several failed attempts, and he almost puked blood. After thinking for a few moments, he controlled Leon to move swiftly. As an ordinary person, it was extremely difficult to dodge such an attack. Therefore, it was extremely critical that he must control his strength with precision.

“Dodge! Dodge!” At the moment when the Tyrant's fist smashed down, Nalan Hongwu suddenly moved his feet and s.h.i.+fted for a few inches to the side in a flash. Then, with small and swift steps, he pa.s.sed the Tyrant with perfect timing.

“Pa.s.sed it!” Excitement and joy filled his heart in the next moment.

[Hahaha! Old Brother! Awesome!] Zong Wu looked at the screenshot that Nalan Hongwu posted in the group and replied, [I think I was inspired by you.]

This was an understanding of an ultimate technique.
