Chapter 53: A Single Slip-Up

  Zhang Yang regained his composure and muttered to himself "fairy", continuing to explain the BOSS's skills, saying: "Third skill: Rock Spike. Will randomly throw at three people's feet, roughly a 2-meter square mud pit. When in the mud pit, movement speed is reduced by 50%, and every second receives 150 points of damage. So, must leave immediately! When the mud pit first appears, it will not produce damage or slow effects, there will be about half a second delay, so reaction must be quick!"

  "Finally, the BOSS will increase its damage by 5% every 15 seconds. So this is a battle of dealing as much damage as possible, and after a long time, even if the healing magic can hold on, when the BOSS grows to 150%, 200% damage, it will definitely wipe out the entire team!"

  "So, what you need to do is dodge the rock spikes and go crazy with your output!"

  "Rub, Yangzi you nagged for half a day, and it turned out to be just such a simple sentence!" Han Baozi shook his head repeatedly, "It wasted so many of my brother's brain cells to remember, what a waste!"

  "Alright then, let's get started! Comrades, our first victory is just ahead!"

  "Charge!"

  Five people burst into laughter and entered the BOSS room one after another. The battle officially started with Zhang Yang's charge.

  To maximize output, Zhang Yang uses "shattered armor" as the main method, first stacking five layers of shattered armor on the BOSS, reducing the BOSS's armor by 50%. The BOSS is a physical-type monster with thick skin, and reducing its armor by 50% is equivalent to deducting 30 points from its armor value. For professions like Baifa Yizhong and Han Paozi that rely mainly on agility, reducing 30 points of armor is quite powerful!

  Zhang Yang himself has the "Eagle Eye" skill, and after stacking five layers of shattered armor, the BOSS in front of him is equivalent to a ** state, 0 armor, and the attack hits straight to the soul.

  As the level increases, there are more and more skills, which raises the issue of skill usage priority. The reasonable use of skills is the biggest difference between a master player and an ordinary player. With the same equipment and level, some people can deal high damage while others cannot, due to differences in skill application.

  Under Zhang Yang's guidance, Han Piaozi made significant progress and formed his own set of output concepts. Although Zhang Yang had five years of rebirth experience, he played a shield warrior in his previous life and was not familiar with the hunter profession, so he could only suggest relatively common skill output cycles for later generations.

  It was Shuiyan who made Zhang Yang's eyes shine, Xiao Yatou was good at fighting and liked to compare output with others, willing to work hard to study the output cycle, making the most significant progress!

  "Ding! Player's War Guardian has been affected by Rend, taking 100 physical damage per second for 20 seconds!"

  Zhang Yang's avatar immediately had a negative effect added to it, starting to continuously lose blood at a rate of 80 per second.

  Qiao Xue'er was originally quite leisurely, but as soon as BOSS's injury appeared, she immediately got busy, continuously chanting healing spells and throwing them onto Zhang Yang's body.

  "Ding! Player's War Defense has been affected by Stun effect, stunned for 2 seconds!"

  Zhang Yang's head spun with dizzying stars, his body suddenly out of control, his upper body slumping down, his head drooping.

  “－304！”

  “－312！”

  “－80！”

  “－309！”

  “－318！”

  “－80！”

  Tuliangyas was like a shot of adrenaline, swinging out four attacks in just two seconds, plus two tearing damage, instantly taking away 1403 points of Zhang Yang's life! Fortunately, Zhang Yang had thick blood, and after switching to a helmet, his life value even reached 1840, but he was still beaten badly!

  At this time, Qiao Xue's powerful healing technique finally finished reading, and a green "+395" floated above Zhang Yang's head. Half a second later, the recovery technique also jumped to "+120", and finally pulled up half of his blood volume.

  Just as the BOSS's attack was about to arrive, Zhang Yang hastily dodged to the side, but the BOSS's attack was extremely fast. The left fist swung empty, and the right fist followed with a crash! Zhang Yang couldn't dodge any further, so he quickly pressed the "Block" button.

  This BOSS is still a dual-wielding physical monster, similar to the agile thief type. Every time it swings its fists left and right, Zhang Yang can dodge one of them but not the other, and must rely on "blocking" to avoid taking damage!

  Qiao Xue'er hastily sang another powerful healing spell, and a green "+387" jumped up again. Zhang Yang's blood volume finally escaped danger!

  "Sister can't take it anymore, she's exhausted!" Just a few seconds ago, Qiaoxue was so anxious that her heart almost jumped out!

  "Hehe, who made you choose to be a pastor!" Shuishanyan started talking sarcastically.

  "Alas, only a wet nurse can bring out my sister's characteristics! Braised egg!" Qiao Xue'er puffed out her high chest and gave Shui Yan'er a flirtatious glance.

  "Han Yinxue, don't mention my chest!" Shui Yan'er was furious again.

  "Ding! Toriel obtained Growth (Level 1) effect, all damage increased by 5%!"

  "Let's focus, don't slack off on damage output and healing! The BOSS is starting to grow stronger. I was almost killed just now, if the BOSS grows a few more layers, I'll be seeing God!" Zhang Yang said in the team chat.

  "Ding! Torikku has unleashed Rock Spike!"

  Zhang Yang hastily looked down and saw a black mud pit suddenly appear, about two meters square in size. He quickly moved away from the range of the mud pit and said: "Everyone look at your feet, be careful!"

  Clang! Clang! Clang!

  Sharp stone pillars shot out of the mud seven or eight times, then disappeared again, only to re-emerge a second later.

  Han Paozi's buttocks tightened involuntarily, and he laughed strangely: "Being poked by this thing, does it count as being exploded?"

  "Die, you fool!"

  "Fat brother, you're too obscene!"

  "Die, fatty! Shameless!"

  In the midst of everyone's ridicule, Tuliang Ers grew again, reaching 110% damage capability.

  At the same time, BOSS's blood volume is also rapidly decreasing. After all, not only are three output professions powerful, but Zhang Yang's damage is even more terrifying than theirs!

  "Ding! Toriel obtained Growth (Level 8) effect, all damage increased by 40%!"

  "Ding! Player's War Defense has been affected by Stun effect, stunned for 2 seconds!"

  Zhang Yang's head flashed again with spinning stars and drooped down.

  “－423！”

  “－112！”

  “+120！”

  “－432！”

  “－427！”

  “+398！”

  “－112！”

  “－431！”

  Heart-stopping, Zhang Yang's blood volume was once again fluctuating wildly like a roller coaster, fortunately Qiao Xueer inserted a strong treatment skill, and the recovery skill also jumped up in time, or else Zhang Yang would have been killed instantly!

  "Whoa!" Zhang Yang let out a sigh of relief, opening the "gear shift" while dodging the BOSS's attacks, giving Qiao Xue'er time to continue reading her scroll. He said, "Qiao Xue'er, you must go get a copy of 'Holy Shield' or else fighting this BOSS will be too much for my heart to handle!"

  【Holy Shield】: Gives the target a shield that absorbs damage equivalent to 200% of spell damage, lasting for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 15 seconds. Instant cast.

  Instant release, this is the greatest advantage of Holy Shield, a lifesaving trump card technique!

  "Sister has no money, you buy it for sister!" Qiao Xue'er started batting her eyelashes again.

  "Sister, please stop it, I'm so embarrassed!" Water Smoke continued to pout and complain.

  "Wipe it off! You guys are really putting in effort this time. If we can just help BOSS grow a few more levels, next time's attack might just be the end of me!" Zhang Yang roared.

  7%！

  "Ding! Toriel obtained Growth (Level 12) effect, all damage increased by 60%!"

  "Ding! Player's War Stance has been affected by Stunning Blow, stunned for 2 seconds!"

  “－492！”

  “+120！”

  “－487！”

  “－128！”

  “－489！”

  “－481！”

  “－128！”

  "Ding! Player Warrior has died!"

  Qiao Xueer didn't read out the healing spell in time, Zhang Yang lies down!

  "Don't give up, keep fighting! The BOSS only has 6% HP left, go for it!" Zhang Yang shouted in the team.

  5%！

  Zhang Yang swung his fist, and Shui Yan Er immediately became BOSS's first target. Tu Ling E turned around and gave Shui Yan Er a good beating!

  "Ding! Player Shuiyaner has died!"

  4%！

  "Ding! Player Slender Beauty Boy has died!"

  "Ding! Player died with 100% accuracy!"

  "Ding! Player Qiao Xue'er has died!"

  Wiped out.

  "Alas!" At the revival point, five souls let out a sigh of relief at the same time. 4% wiped out, what a pity!

  "Okay, Xue'er, wait for my next heavy hit, don't use Powerful Healing Spell, switch to Holy Prayer!" Zhang Yang began to summarize the lessons from their failure. "Powerful Healing Spell takes 2 seconds to cast, while Holy Prayer only takes 1.5 seconds! Although Holy Prayer heals less HP, it has a faster casting speed and can be squeezed in within the 2-second window of my heavy hit. If we use Powerful Healing Spell, it might not make it in time! When the stun effect ends, I'll immediately activate 'Gear Shift', giving you time to cast Powerful Healing Spell!"

  "Uh-huh!" Xiaoxue nodded, although it couldn't be said that her mistake had led to the failure, but she still felt very guilty and was unusually honest, no longer throwing flirtatious glances around.

  Brush, and the five souls appeared in the cemetery again. Looking at the names on their heads, they were indeed from the Overlord Guild. However, there was no sign of Gentleman Junzi, so it should be the second team's people.

  "Hey, where are you guys at?" someone from the Dominant Guild asked in the regional channel.

  Zhang Yang gave Han Bao a look, and Bao immediately understood, saying "Old One" in the regional channel.

  "Wipe, actually as fast as we hit!" The overbearing man continued.

  "What's weird about hitting an old one? Even if the little monster is fierce, it's still just a little monster. You can always see the BOSS! The key is how much blood has been hit?" Another tyrant said.

  "How about you guys? We've already killed 60% of them next door."

  The fatty glanced at Zhang Yang and revealed a hint of a smile, saying: "More powerful than you guys, 40%!"

  The five members of the tyrant team looked at each other with smiles, and then said in the team channel: "Only 40%! The boss's team has already been able to beat BOSS into 20%, a few more times will definitely pass, we'll win for sure!"

  PS: One chapter in the morning and one in the afternoon, then I'll post an extra update.

  To: Zero/Fog, I don't know what the two words in front mean and it's hard to answer.

  As for the third point, why reward weapons? Shield warriors can't just rely on their face to pull hatred.
