Chapter Fifty-Seven: Air Spirit Ail

  Facing a spell-type BOSS, it's really not easy without an active damage-reducing skill! Zhang Yang sighed in his heart. At level 30, he could learn "Shield Wall", an active skill that reduces all damage taken by 75% for 10 seconds.

  Before this, I was so nervous and could hardly breathe!

  Zhang Yang stopped and thought for a moment, then said: "Quickly, Xue Er, let's go save people!"

  Xue'er smiled and said, "So with fewer people, we get that much more experience! Hehe, next time the BOSS is about to die, it seems like we'll have to let some people go!"

  "Hey, you wouldn't be so cruel, would you?"

  "What about you?" Qiao Xue'er sang a revival spell while giving Zhang Yang a flirtatious glance.

  "Women's hearts are the most poisonous!" Zhang Yang shook his head repeatedly.

  "What did you say!" Water Smoke was unhappy and immediately went to find Zhang Yang to settle the score after being rescued.

  "Little girl, it's none of your business, you're still many years away from being a married woman!" Zhang Yang patted the water pipe on her head.

  Xue'er smiled coquettishly and said, "Sister is still not a married woman!"

  This woman is obviously not a beauty, how can she be so charming! Zhang Yang hurriedly said: "Feel the corpse!"

  "Mine!" The water smoke immediately rushed out. Since she joined the team, the fat man's right to open the corpse had been completely deprived.

  As usual, Xiaoyao first picked up the gold coins dropped by the BOSS, and then slowly searched for equipment.

  Tempered Fire Longbow (Bronze Equipment, Ranged Weapon)

  Attack Power: 99-117

  Attack interval: 2.7 seconds

  Damage per second: 40

  Equipment: Tempered with Fire Spirit Essence, each arrow shot has a 5% chance to add 50-70 points of flame damage.

  Required level: 20

  "Little girl's hands are quite red!" Zhang Yang laughed and said, "A very good hunting weapon!"

  The young girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and without exaggeration, she suddenly became delighted, with a proud smile on her face.

  One shot, one hit, 79 points.

  Han Pao Zi, 77 points.

  "Fatty, I'm not being polite anymore!" After getting the equipment, he immediately put it on. His damage output was at the bottom of the list, which was a shameful thing for someone with even a little self-respect. He didn't want to always be a drag on the team!

  Han Baozi smiled and waved his hand, saying: "What kind of friendship is this, why say that!"

  After feeling relieved, Zhang Yang couldn't help but think: "The current team's professional structure is very unreasonable. If we take out the Paladin, Thief and Mage, we can only sell them off! We must quickly form two teams to optimize our profession composition and avoid wasting equipment! With this ten-man team as the core, whether it's a battle team league or a ten-man instance or twenty-man instance, it's all fine."

  Flaming Breastplate (Bronze Armor, Leather Armor)

  Armor: +4

  Vitality: +22

  Power: +4

  Agility: +14

  Required level: 20

  "It's the hunter again!"

  "Fatty, I've taken the bow, this garment is yours!" Baifa Yizhong laughed.

  Han Paozi didn't hesitate and took down the equipment. A character's damage mainly relies on weapon upgrades, and after swapping to a new weapon, Ba Fei's attack power instantly increased by a notch. As for Han Paozi, his HP was originally the lowest among the five of them, so it was indeed necessary to swap some equipment to boost his HP.

  " Poor BOSS, so much nonsense, with such little equipment, I despise you!" Shui Yan'er scolded, pointing at the corpse of Huo Ling Fa Er.

  "Hey, little girl, be careful, BOSS remembers grudges. Next time I beat you, I'll scold you every time!" Zhang Yang threatened.

  The water smoke child can't help but be shocked. If the vice copy is refreshed tomorrow, and when fighting this BOSS again, staring at her and saying "flatten", how can that be done!

  When the BOSS dies, the palace gate behind it also opens automatically, revealing a corridor leading to the final BOSS, Aetherius.

  But first, Zhang Yang and his party had to clear out all the small monsters along the way.

  Frenzied Elemental (Elite)

  Level: 23

  Life: 50,000

  The four elemental monsters all look similar, the only difference being that water elementals are blue, earth elementals are brown, fire elementals are red, and air elementals are white.

  There aren't many monsters in the corridor, just three or four, but they have a lot of blood, almost comparable to BOSS!

  "This monster is called a tank killer, it's quite powerful!" Zhang Yang swung his sword and shouted "Let's go!"

  They charged forward and launched an attack.

  Dodge!

  Dodge!

  Awesome!

  Dodge!

  Zhang Yang's figure was like a swimming fish, and under the monster's attack, he seemed extremely relaxed, without receiving any damage at all.

  Shui Yan'er suddenly curled up her mouth and said: "What tank killer, it's just a dish!"

  Zhang Yang sneered and said, "Then you try mocking me!"

  The young man was full of pride and confidence, but after being swept away by Zhang Yang's disdainful gaze, he didn't care about the consequences and immediately threw out a "scoff".

  “－783！”

  “－832！”

  "Ding! Player Shuiyaner has died!"

  "Wah wah wah, Anemic Warrior, I swear I won't let you stand! " Water Smoke shouted in the team.

  "This is called seeing others carry a burden without feeling tired, try it yourself and you'll know!" Zhang Yang said calmly, while his sword slashes continued to create massive damage.

  "How detestable! Anemic warrior, you've provoked me!" Water Smoke paused for a moment and said, "Sister, when the remaining HP is 5%, spare that anemic warrior's life!"

  "Good!" Qiaoxue'er agreed succinctly.

  The monster's blood volume dropped rapidly and soon fell to 5% of its remaining blood.

  Snowy indeed let go of her reserve and started humming a tune with her hands behind her back.

  However, when facing close-range monsters, shield warriors have a natural advantage in terms of injury avoidance, and they are not BOSS, with a slow attack speed, Zhang Yang can easily dodge and knock down the monster without taking any damage.

  "Save him!" Zhang Yang laughed and said.

  The little water buffalo got up, its two black and white eyes occasionally glancing at Zhang Yang, with a puffed-up appearance.

  They pressed on, and although the small monsters were fierce, Zhang Yang and his party weren't weak either. It was a hassle, but after half an hour, they finally cleared their way to the second BOSS.

  Aethersage Ayla (Bronze Tier Leader)

  Level: 24

  Life: 144,000

  This BOSS is about twenty meters tall, with its right hand holding a heavy spear that's even longer than its body, floating lightly on the ground, still a single BOSS fight without any small monsters.

  "Cough, cough!" Zhang Yang cleared his throat and it was time for the lecture.

  "BOSS is a physical attacker, mainly dealing melee damage, it's very painful to fight! The first skill, sonic pierce, targets the first hatred and deals 1500 points of damage with just one hit. So Xiaoxue, please pay attention at all times and keep my blood volume above 1200 points, I will also try to reserve 'gear' to deal with BOSS's this skill."

  "The first skill is the tank and healing, but the second and third skills are what everyone needs to pay attention to! After the fight starts, the BOSS will throw out 10 gas bombs. The bombs will chase people and explode on contact, dealing 1200 arcane damage to all team members. However, the bombs don't move very fast and can be dodged easily!"

  "But the trouble is BOSS's third skill: summoning a small gas ball. Once the small gas ball is summoned, it will chase after people and run at an extremely fast speed. The small gas ball itself does not have any damaging abilities, but if you are touched by it, your target will be stunned for 10 seconds! During those 10 seconds of stun, it's enough time for the gas bomb to catch up!"

  "The small air masses are attackable, with not much HP, probably around 5000! So, as soon as the BOSS throws out a small air mass, Bai Fa and Pangzi immediately go to hit it, absolutely cannot let it catch up to anyone!"

  "The entire battle was a mobile war, every moment had to be on the move, absolutely cannot just focus on hitting the BOSS!"

  "It seems quite interesting, come and try it quickly!" The water smoke came quickly and disappeared quickly. After hearing the BOSS's skills, he immediately became eager to try.

  "Alright, let's get familiar with it first!" Zhang Yang nodded.

  Five people enter together, lest a fight breaks out and someone is left outside.

  "Got it!"

  With a loud whoosh, the strange creature charged forward.

  "I have to admit, you guys are quite capable of making it here! But that's as far as it goes, because I'll personally wipe all of you out!" Qi Ling Aier thrust her long spear at Zhang Yang with a fierce stab.

  Dodge!

  Zhang Yang unfolded his body shape. The BOSS's attack speed was very fast, but as long as it wasn't a skill attack, he could still dodge most of the attacks.

  After switching to a new weapon, the attack damage has caught up with Shuiyaner, and even Fatzi has been suppressed! Except for healing, all four of them are considered strong output, and in just over ten seconds, they blasted off 10% of the BOSS's blood.

  "Damn you, go to hell!" Aoling shouted loudly, and ten white spheres the size of water buckets emerged from his body, slowly floating towards Zhang Yang and the others.

  "Ding! Airy Ail released an air bomb!"

  "Bomb's coming, watch your step!" Zhang Yang was multitasking, pulling BOSS to start moving and increasing the distance from the air bomb.

  "Mortal, I will crush you!" The BOSS's body flashed red again, and the long spear was raised high.

  "Ding! Airlia released a sonic boom!"

  Zhang Yang's motor nerves reacted instantly, and he quickly shifted into "gear".

  "Awesome!"

  "Minus 117!" Grid's counterattack was wounded.

  "Shield Strike - 234!"

  "Beautiful!"

  Although there are signs before the BOSS skill is activated, it only takes less than a tenth of a second to grasp this brief moment and activate the "gear" skill, which is not something that everyone can do!

  Qiaoxue and her three companions' eyes lit up at the same time, and they couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

  That's the difference between a master and an ordinary player!

  "Comrades, open your eyes a bit wider and don't just be shocked!" Zhang Yang reminded them loudly as he saw each of them speechless with their mouths agape.

  "Stink bugs, let's have some fun!" Qi Ling'ai lifted her butt and sprayed out a fist-sized cloud of murky gas. The stench slowly floated into the air before rapidly rushing towards Shuiyan'er.

  "Ding! Airlia released a summon of small air spirits!"

  "Yoh——" Except for Zhang Yang, the other four people all furrowed their brows and revealed a twitching expression.

  This boss is disgusting!
