God-level Hero

Chapter 1528: Chapter 1423: Labyrinth Ambush Battle

Although enlisting the Spider Queen was a worthwhile deal, when it came time to pay, Da Fei was deeply conflicted. A troop of 10,000 Command Power was definitely not an option, as Da Fei simply didn’t have that much cannon fodder. The Divine Artifact, which was priceless, was also out of the question. Nor should he consider the 1,000 Life Limit, as a typical level 50 player doesn’t even have a thousand in total life. So, that left only 100 million Gold Coins and 100 million Experience.

Although Da Fei and all the Vice Heroes couldn’t level up due to the side effects of the Time Freeze, the experience points had piled up. Just because they couldn’t use it now didn’t mean it wouldn’t be useful later. Especially since Da Fei dropped four levels and was managing a family. If he spent his experience now and the National War server opened, what would he do if he couldn’t make it to level 50?

So it only left Gold Coins. Gold Coins, being external to one’s body, were not as big a concern since Da Fei had looted Demon Flame City and taken over a billion. But hold on! Compared to experience, making money is actually harder, isn’t it? Da Fei had completed countless battles, each yielding millions in experience, not to mention the hundreds of thousands gained daily from being a navigator. But how many victories have awarded Gold Coins? None!

And judging from the current trend with Little Li hiring power-levelers to buy Gold Coins and train Pandora, Gold Coins are super valuable hard currency. This billion in Gold Coins would probably be worth tens of thousands, yet there’s no market supply! Spending tens of thousands to summon a deity? Damn! That’s practically the disgrace of a professional high-end player!

So, after a brief moment of conflict, Da Fei decided — pay with 100 million Experience! It’s just something he could recover after casually fighting four or five big battles, no need to worry.

The Spider Queen was apparently quite satisfied with Da Fei’s payment: "Very well, then let’s get on with it."

There was nothing more to say. The Spider Queen plus his own Angel Summoning Space with its ten angels and three contract angels was more than enough to sweep through a labyrinthine environment like this. The maze’s unique terrain made it impossible for the enemy to truly surround them. Then, by bringing along 100 Jungle Hunters to provide remote strikes, ground troops would get squeezed out.

Then there’s another critical issue: Da Fei didn’t know the labyrinth’s layout, and once inside, he’d have to navigate blindly. The opponents definitely had a map since they’d passed through the place, and setting up an ambush meant he’d be walking into a trap. Even if they couldn’t handle the Spider Queen, they might still find a chance to behead him! No way! He’d have to bring some troops along.

It was at this moment that Da Fei thought of the new troop, the Shadow Bat. This bat can Stealth, perform sonic reconnaissance, and launch sonic attacks—three signature special skills perfectly suited for such a maze. It’s time to test the ability of the new unit.

Aside from the 15 Shadow Bats who surrendered from attacking their nest, the barracks have produced 3 new ones, totaling 18. It’s worth mentioning that even at level 10 barracks, the production rate is this low. Da Fei couldn’t imagine how slow a level 1 barrack would be. Plus, it seems there’s no fresh blood to replenish them, so it might only get slower in the future. Anyway, let’s see how they perform in battle. If the effect is good, then in the future, he’ll think about collecting blood for mass production.

Once formation was complete, Da Fei turned the key, and with a scene change, he found himself once again at the long-lost labyrinth entrance. However, the radar was empty.

Da Fei frowned; there were no sentinels at the entrance. They must be inside the labyrinth, waiting to block him in once he was fully committed. Fine, bring it on.

So immediately, Da Fei had the 18 Shadow Bats enter Stealth, and the group marched boldly into the labyrinth. Stealth, of course, was meant to hide this secret weapon from the opponents. But even if they saw it during a fight, it wouldn’t matter; the bat looked much like the Volcano Demon Wolf used in the competition suit before, and being seen wouldn’t be a big deal.

Once Da Fei entered the labyrinth, he instantly activated the Shadow Bats’ sonic reconnaissance. Before long, the distant red dots on Da Fei’s radar glowed with over twenty different movements!

Da Fei was both thrilled and shocked! Holy hell, this reconnaissance is simply divine! No wonder Elena said these Shadow Bats could detect prey in the dark underground from several kilometers away. With such a Divine Skill, even the God-level Reconnaissance Technique Da Fei once disdained is obsolete!

Okay, now the enemy is clear and I am dark; let’s see how I clean you up on my way!

...

Back at the U.S. Supernova Command Center, Special Operations Group, Tommy, and a bunch of youths had been scouring the labyrinth for treasure for over a dozen hours.

For the Supernova Team, although they had not gotten the brick clue at the entrance like Da Fei, they still had other channels to acquire information from the instance designers. Thus, they conducted a systematic search while practicing skills. The results? All of their members learned about Master-level Luck Skill multiple times from the occasional glint of treasure light.

Of course, this seemingly stupid action wasn’t just to treasure hunt but also to ambush Da Fei. Simultaneously, it served as a training session for these young members under Captain Fortson. Fortson, with his military background, believes that patience is a key quality of an excellent soldier, much like a sniper who can hold out in one spot for days and nights.

This quality seemed absent among these young people and, indeed, among professional players worldwide. Modern eSports is overly restless, always exaggerating the monetary value of professional gamers with figures about how much they can earn per minute, always seeking "optimization efficiency" to use time most rationally.

But have they succeeded? Compared to Da Fei, who made a fortune from his ocean ventures, they are all failures! Precisely because all national professional teams pursued so-called optimization efficiency, none chose to start from a bland, uneventful maritime path. The reality has proven that the world was wrong. For the American team, this mistake is even more unforgivable. There is still time to remedy it now.

At this moment, a bright red light exploded on a team member’s screen, followed by a golden flash, and a gigantic red spot appeared on the radar.

The team member exclaimed, "Oh my God! The Magic Energy Crystal detected high-energy gold reactions at the labyrinth entrance, with a God-level Unit entering the instance!"

For a moment, the dreary and bored teams were energized: "Is it Dafei?"

Tommy reacted immediately: "15 and 11, activate and deploy Ghostly Sentinels. Number 1 and 2 at the entrance, withdraw immediately to avoid alerting Da Fei! Notify the Mitsubishi Team; once Da Fei enters the maze, send people into the instance to block the entrance, and ask whether they know Da Fei’s God-level Unit..."

"Yes, Sir!"

Next, having received the news, Fortson rushed to the scene immediately to inspect.

Tommy requested an order: "Captain, we discovered Da Fei has a God-level Unit; should we engage?"

Fortson raised his eyebrows: "What’s your suggestion?"

Tommy gritted his teeth: "Of course, engage. Only God-level Units are worth summoning Demon Servants to kill!"

Just then, a team member reported: "Captain Mitsubishi has an important report!"

Tsukamoto appeared on the big screen: "Report to Mr. Fortson, our team is already on standby with the instance NPC. Regarding Da Fei’s God-level creature, NPC information suggests it is highly likely a God-level avatar of Da Fei’s summoned Rose Spider Queen, which destroyed a God-level Monster underground moments ago..."

Upon hearing Tsukamoto’s report, the Special Operations Group members buzzed with excitement: "Rose Spider Queen? Isn’t it considered a mid-level deity? Can our Demon Servants handle it?"

Fortson’s face darkened: "Captain Tsukamoto, as players who can summon Demon Servants, do you think defeating this Spider Queen avatar is feasible?"

Tsukamoto solemnly said: "It’s just an avatar, so it’s hard to determine. However, based on summoning rules for Divine Demons, Da Fei must have sacrificed greatly to bring a deity into an instance. The stronger the deity, the greater the offering. Destroying her will undoubtedly cause Da Fei substantial losses."

Fortson nodded seriously: "Fine, have one team member summon two Demon Servants to attack from both fronts in the maze, and let’s test the Spider Queen avatar’s strength first."

Tsukamoto said excitedly: "Hai! Our team is ready for deployment at any time."

Tommy immediately ordered: "Players 1 and 2 closest to Da Fei, summon Demon Servants! All others get to the ambush positions immediately!"
