Chapter 42: The Third BOSS

  The girl next to Chacha is recognized by Ding Qiang, and should be said to be Chacha's best friend, Xiao Le, a professional archer. In her previous life, she had expressed strong opposition to Li Yan and Ding Qiang being together, but considering that her starting point was for Li Yan's own good, Ding Qiang did not have too much dissatisfaction with her in his heart.

  "It's not Liu Tao's brother, I didn't think he was so annoying. When speaking, it's as if his eyes would pop out of his head. Just now in the instance, Xiao Le only made a small mistake and he immediately started scolding loudly, it's really excessive..." Cha Cha said discontentedly.

  "Never mind." Xiao Le said beside him: "I'm really a bit too stupid, well, never mind, or else we'll just give up on this task."

  "What task?" Ting Qiang asked from the side: "Or I'll take you guys to complete it?"

  "Finally liberated," Chacha said, "killing the final BOSS of Hero Mode's Ifrit Canyon."

  "Oh." Ding Qiang suddenly understood, this task was not easy, to kill the hero mode of Flame Canyon, and there was a time limit, but the reward was not bad, would reward a staff of magic and a longbow of archer, it was a must-do task.

  "I'll call a few people to take you to get this task done." Ding Qiang replied.

  Xiao Le didn't know Ding Qiang's level and was still making excuses, but Cha Cha clearly understood Ding Qiang's true strength. She immediately exclaimed with excitement: "Haha, great! Xiao Le, we don't need that Teng Hua to lead us, we can complete the task on our own and make him angry to death."

  "But this task is very difficult, I still..." Xiaole bit her lip, and the rest of the words were left unsaid.

  Ignoring Xiaole's doubts about his own strength, Ding Qiang thought for a moment and opened the message from Desire Rose: "Beauty, go to the next instance?"

  After a moment, Yuè Wàng Méi Guī transmitted the message: "Hehe, little brother, how come you thought of sister? What instance can't you handle that requires sister to take action?"

  "Inferno Canyon Hero Mode."

  "Hero Mode......" Desire Rose thought for a moment and replied: "Alright, when?"

  "Let's gather at the entrance of the copy in ten minutes."

  "Uh-huh."

  There were four people already, and after calling Lin Yi over, a team of five was formed in the blink of an eye.

  ……

  Ten minutes later, standing at the entrance of the Nirvana Canyon copy, looking at the Desire Rose walking far away, Lin Yi's eyes were wide with wonder.

  "Strong son, strong son, look at that big wave sister..." Because there were two female classmates beside him, Lin Yi didn't dare to be too arrogant, and only kept gazing with desire through the corner of his eyes.

  "Which one?" Ding Qiang asked.

  "Is that the one walking towards us, wearing a white robe? Oh my god, do you think it's real or fake?" Lin Yi almost drooled.

  "Why don't you just go ask and find out?" Ding Qiang said with a suppressed smile.

  "...Lin Yi was speechless, but after a moment, he became excited again: "Look, look, Qiangzi, she's coming, she's coming..."

  "Alright, stop being so perverted. Later when we're running the dungeon, pay attention and don't focus all your attention on her chest!" Ding Qiang said irritably.

  "What?" Lin Yi was taken aback: "Could it be that she wants to join our team in descending into the Blazing Abyss?"

  "That's right."

  "It's all over, it's all over... My performance will definitely be greatly discounted..." Lin Yi exaggeratedly covered his chest and said to Ding Qiang.

  Hei Dingqiang greeted him and saw that Mei Gui looked at Lin Yi with some confusion, turned his head and asked: "What's wrong with him?"

  "He's ill," said Ding Qiang.

  "Take your medicine!"

  "It can't be cured..."

  "Oh!"

  “……”

  Very soon, the five of them arrived at the entrance of the Valley of Furious Flames. Ding Qiang was in front, Lin Yi was beside him providing support, Cha Cha and Xiao Le were behind outputting damage, while Yu Wang Mei Gui was on the other side healing. The positions of the five people formed an isosceles triangle, quickly advancing deep into the instance.

  The heroic mode of Flame Crest Canyon was tough, but Ding Qiang's level had already reached 25, and he also had this set of Guardian armor, so even without a shield, relying on good awareness and positioning, Healing Rose wasn't having much trouble keeping everyone topped up. Before long, they arrived at the first BOSS.

  During the break, she couldn't help but sneak a peek at Desire Rose's towering bust and then looked down at her own with some depression, asking Xiao Le: "Lele, do you think hers is real?"

  "What?" Xiao Le looked at Ding Qiang, wondering what he was thinking, and asked in a wooden tone.

  "It's nothing, nothing..." Chacha shook her head.

  “……”

  On the other hand, seeing that the life and magic values of the team members had already recovered, Ding Qiang stood up and said: "This BOSS is not difficult, I can hold it back, then lead it to the left corner, and you all just go all out."

  "Uh-huh."

  In Heroic mode, the difficulty of Flamestrike Canyon's first BOSS lies in healing and MT, so according to their current team composition, it is not difficult to take down this BOSS.

  Ding Qiang started the battle with a fierce charge, accompanied by the BOSS's angry roar. He remained calm and dodged to the side, avoiding the BOSS's overhead attack. Then, he rolled forward and charged towards the corner.

  Just then, a long arrow suddenly shot from behind and hit the BOSS...

  From start to now, Ding Qiang has not attacked BOSS yet, so this long arrow immediately pulled BOSS's hatred over.

  "Who is it?" Ding Qiang asked gloomily, and under helplessness, he turned around and followed behind BOSS's butt.

  "Huh?" Xiao Le remained in an attacking stance, dazedly asking: "Didn't you tell us to go all out?"

  Ding Qiang was speechless, and suddenly he somewhat understood why Ding Hua couldn't help but burst into a loud scolding.

  The situation was critical, and he didn't have time to say much. Fortunately, although the charge couldn't be used, the bloodthirsty charge could still be used. After rushing to the BOSS's side again, Ding Qiang dared not to play cool this time. He made a zigzag slash three times, then took a step to the right and dodged the BOSS's attack while turning around and striking with his sword several times to stabilize the BOSS's hatred. Only then did he turn around and run towards the predetermined position.

  "Xiao Le, follow Cha Cha's rhythm. When she attacks you, attack back; when she stops, you stop." Dīng Qiáng didn't have time to elaborate and could only say this much.

  "Oh." Xiao Le nodded blankly.

  Although Chacha is not a master at this stage, she still knows when to attack and when to stop. Xiao Le also knew that he had made a mistake earlier and didn't dare to move rashly, following Chacha's rhythm. When she stopped, he stopped; when she attacked, he attacked. As a result, the first BOSS was easily defeated.

  Pushed to BOSS, Yu Wang rose self-proclaimed courage and ran over, touched the BOSS's body, a row of equipment list appeared in front of everyone.

  A blue staff, a few pieces of green armor, neither too red nor too black, just mediocre.

  The staff belongs to her alone, the green armor was casually thrown away by a few people, and after replenishing their supplies, they quickly rushed towards the next BOSS.

  Soon, several people arrived at the second BOSS.

  During Ding Qiang's closed-door rush, Cha Cha and Xiao Le followed Liu Tao and his brother to stay in Nu Yan Gorge, back and forth. How to fight the second BOSS was also very clear in everyone's mind. Although Xiao Le made another mistake during this time, there were no major mistakes in the end. The second BOSS passed by without any surprises.

  When everyone arrived in front of the third BOSS of Nuoyan Gorge, Ding Qiang was a bit worried.

  After the previous probing, Ding Qiang already knew that the reason why their team had not passed the level was precisely because of the third BOSS's small chicken bomb group stage. At this stage, no matter which player did not dodge the bomb, the outcome would be a team wipeout. According to Xiao Le's operating skills...

  Ding Qiang's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that someone was watching him. He turned his head to look back and met the ambiguous smile of Yu Wang Ruo Si.

  "What's wrong?" Ding Qiang asked somewhat puzzledly.

  "Heh heh, nothing." Desire Rose blinked her eyes and whispered, "That clumsy girl, how do you plan to get her through the bomb cluster? Let's make it clear beforehand, if we fail too many times, I don't have time to hang around here with you guys..."

  "It's just a small matter, let it pass this one time." With an arrow on the string, Ding Qiang had no choice but to force himself to say.

  "Hehe, who can't brag a little? But what if it doesn't get through?" As for the undead Xiao Qiang in front of her, she didn't know why, but she liked to tease him. Although judging from his appearance and the age of the friends around him, this guy's age shouldn't be very big, but he spoke with a maturity that didn't seem to match his real age. This kind of thing, similar to a neighbor boy's growth game, was one of her favorites...

  "Was it just a past life?" Ding Qiang replied while teasing the ojou-sama beside him.

  "If you can't get over it, then next time we meet, you'll have to call me sister." Yu Wang Mei glanced at Ding Qiang with a faint smile.

  "If it were in the past, then from now on you'll call me good older brother." Ding Qiang stood up and said with a playful smile.

  "Good brother?" Yu Wang rose glanced at Ding Qiang: "You're no longer pure..."

  With a glance from Rose's narrow and long phoenix eyes, Ding Qiang couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart, and immediately laughed: "If you're afraid, then don't make this bet, hahaha..."

  "Afraid?" Yu Wang Rose sneered: "I'm afraid of you, this little guy who hasn't even grown a full head of hair?"

  "...Ding Qiang really wanted to say, actually I've grown up..."

  Turning around, Ding Qiang said very seriously to Xiao Le: "Lele, whether or not we can defeat the third BOSS depends on you."

  "Ah?" Xiao Le's heart skipped a beat, and he forced himself to say: "I'll be careful, I'll try my best not to step on the chicken bomb."

  "Not..." Amidst the stunned gazes of several people, Ding Qiang shook his head and said: "What I want you to do is exactly the opposite..."

  "What?" Everyone was stunned.
