Chapter 55: The Battle for Zhongdian (Additional Chapter 1)

  After the server went red, two guilds, Ba Zhe and Ling Tian, had four teams of 20 people simultaneously fall into a dazed state. Those who weren't in combat were fine, but those fighting the BOSS at that moment instantly wiped out their team. 15 out of 20 people went to the graveyard.

  This score is too amazing! They are still struggling with the old one, but others have already killed the BOSS of the guardian, what's the difference!

  A burst of anger brings a red face.

  "Snow sister, you're really too clever!" Xueque said with admiration as she looked at the corpse of Huo Ling Fa Er, "As expected, just like you said, Zhan Yu and his team will be the first to take down the front hall! If we had chosen the same instance as them, we'd be crying by now!"

  This is Mazhavi's lair: Central Hall!

  The two teams of Angry Red Face had previously entered the front hall, but just two minutes later, they immediately left and went to battle in the middle hall!

  According to the official data, the two BOSSes in the middle temple are level 23 and level 24, which is slightly higher than the level 21 and level 22 of the front temple. Following the general thinking, it should be easy first and then difficult, but the president of One Angry Red Face made a completely opposite decision!

  Xue Qianxun revealed a faint smile, and then her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said: "Although I had guessed that Zhan Yu and the others would be the first to break through the front hall, this speed still exceeded my expectations! Now that we have passed the first BOSS, if Zhan Yu and the others immediately go to battle in the middle hall, it's really uncertain who will end up dead!"

  "How is this possible?" Xue Rose's face was filled with incredulity, "We also got the BOSS's skills in advance and studied them for several days before coming up with our current strategy. We wiped out four or five times before passing! Do they have a relative who participated in the game instance design too?"

  Chihiro thought for a moment, shaking her head and saying: "According to my brother, when designing BOSS skills, each person is only responsible for their own part and cannot communicate with each other! Moreover, the original designers and later testers were also unfamiliar with each other, so it's impossible for someone to know all the skills of the BOSS copies! We only know the skills of the first BOSS, but the second BOSS has to be figured out from scratch, which is not optimistic at all! I'd rather think that War and Defense are also because they got internal information, otherwise...

  "She paused for a moment and said: 'Everyone, let's put in more effort! Although we are currently leading the battle against their BOSS by one round, we absolutely cannot relax our guard! Their strength... is extremely powerful!'"

  "Go for it!"

  ……

  For the vast desert smoke people, Zhang Yang and three other "celebrities" joining the guild had just caused a stir, when they were immediately shocked by the subsequent server-wide broadcast! For a long time, the guild channel was in an uproar, although it wasn't them who got the first clear, being in the same guild still gave them a great sense of pride!

  Cheers and congratulations, as well as requests for a tow, filled the air in an instant.

  "Ding! Player Shuiyan has transferred the guild leadership to ZhanYu, ZhanYu is now the new guild leader!"

  Another blockbuster news!

  However, the people of Dalu Gu Yan did not produce any resistant emotions, but instead became more excited! After all, the great name "Zhan Yu" had been heard for a long time, and everyone knew he was fierce. With such a great master leading the guild, how could they worry that the guild would not grow stronger?

  "Shall we take a break or continue fighting in the middle hall?" Qiao Xue'er asked Zhang Yang.

  "Taking advantage of the momentum, we must continue to strive for more!" Zhang Yang laughed and said, "However, before that, we need to divide up the equipment first!" He pointed at the corpse of Tuliang Ers.

  "I'm coming! I've arrived!" The water pipe jumped three feet high and rushed to grab it.

  Rocky Greaves (Bronze Armor)

  Armor: +6

  Vitality: +12

  Strength: +6

  Agility: +2

  Required level: 20

  "Anemic tank, you can have this equipment first!" Shui Yan'er nodded in agreement to give up, "Spare you from being killed instantly!"

  Previously, BOSS's high attack made everyone fearful, so prioritizing tank armor naturally became a consensus.

  Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, the BOSS in death mode was indeed too fierce, it's too dangerous to not add some blood volume. While changing equipment, he added the newly acquired skill points to "Grid", the cooldown time of the "Grid" skill also decreased to 5 seconds.

  "Friends of the vast desert smoke, congratulations! You've cleared the first instance of the copy so quickly!" A message from Qianqian Junzi in the regional channel read, "I represent the Overlord Guild, and I'd like to extend our congratulations to you all!"

  "Hypocrite! Your words and heart are not in sync!" Wu Tian immediately sneered.

  "Where did this stray dog come from, barking everywhere!" Someone from the dominant side immediately cursed.

  The person who provoked him naturally didn't want to show weakness either, and immediately responded with profanity. The regional channel was suddenly filled with curses.

  Zhang Yang and five others were annoyed by what they saw, so they quickly blocked the regional channel. The whole world was finally quiet again.

  Hundred-leaf Long Skirt (Bronze Armor, Cloth Armor)

  Armor: +2

  Vitality: +18

  Intelligence: +16

  Spirit: +6

  Required level: 20

  Undoubtedly belongs to Xue Er.

  Jingwen Pifeng (Bronze Wind Chime)

  Vitality: +6

  Agility: +4

  Equipment: Increase critical strike chance by 1%.

  Required level: 20

  Only adding sensitivity but not strength, naturally prioritizes thieves and hunters.

  Han Paozi wanted to be modest again, but Bai Fa Yizhong had already given up and said: "Paozi, my equipment is already pretty good now, you don't have to let me win anymore! From now on, when we get equipment, let's roll for it together!"

  "Alright!" Han Paozi nodded and took the cloak.

  "Huh, Yangzi, isn't there a hidden BOSS here?" The five of them started running towards the instance entrance when Han Paozi suddenly turned his head to ask Zhang Yang.

  Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Hehe, not all copies have hidden BOSS! Mazavi's Nest, these three copies don't have a hidden BOSS!"

  Not long after, the five of them exited the instance and entered another one on the left.

  "Ding! You have entered Maz'Zarith's lair: The Central Chamber (Death Mode)!"

  Since all three copies have the same background, the scenery of this hall is no different from that of the front hall, except that the monsters patrolling in the corridor have been replaced with fire elements.

  Corrupted Flame Elemental (Elite)

  Level: 22

  Life: 6000

  The monsters here are characterized by their multitude! Extremely numerous, all in groups of eight, looking like a dense and vast expanse.

  "How strange!" Han Paozi let out a cool breath.

  "The monsters here are quite fierce, all of them are mage monsters that like to throw fireballs, it's very painful when they hit! Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said, "However, their blood is relatively thin, about half the life value of normal elite monsters. A few hits from an AoE skill will finish them off!"

  Zhang Yang took a few steps forward and started with a fierce charge.

  The sword blade rose, Zhang Yang chopped out a 342-point white damage, the anger value soared to 36 points, and immediately clicked on the "Horizontal Sweep" skill.

  “－701！”

  “－745！”

  “－726！”

  Tightly packed, eight consecutive large damage numbers jumped up.

  Eight fire elementals almost simultaneously locked onto Zhang Yang and began chanting Fireball spells.

  Han Chubuzi and his companions immediately launched an attack, firing wildly and sending whirlwind slashes flying into the monster heap.

  Three seconds later, the monster's spell chant ended, and eight large fireballs hit Zhang Yang simultaneously. Damage numbers "-122", "-119", "-125" kept popping up above his head, dealing a total of over 1,000 damage to him.

  Qiao Xue had already pre-read the treatment, and Zhang Yang's damage numbers jumped up. She raised her hand and cast a strong treatment spell, immediately replenishing around 400 health points. At the same time, the recovery spell was also in effect, restoring around 130 life points every three seconds.

  Two seconds later, she once again read out a powerful healing spell, filling Zhang Yang's blood volume to the max.

  Brush, eight fireballs brushed against Zhang Yang's body, directly smashing into sparks.

  "Wow - I'm going on strike, Sister is exhausted to death!" Qiao Xueer was brushing blood frantically, busy to the point of collapse.

  More than 30 seconds later, the eight little monsters fell to the ground one by one, giving everyone a considerable amount of experience points.

  Qiao Xue'er looked at the monsters in the corridor and couldn't help but look ugly, saying: "Tian, how are there still so many!"

  "Sister, after I finish off these small monsters, I'll help you massage your legs and back, that's a deal, right?"

  Han Paozi suddenly revealed a lecherous look and said: "Leave the back massage to Brother Pao! Brother Pao's massage skills are top-notch, Xue Mei, whenever you want, just give Brother Pao a call, and I'll be there in no time!"

  "When I saw fat brother, I finally understood why there is a word called 'salted pig hand'! Water smoke also deliberately swept a glance at the fat boy's plump hands."

  "Haha", everyone burst out laughing and continued moving forward.

  This little monster is indeed very fierce, but busy only to Snow Girl, others are quite relaxed, all the way forward, more than 20 minutes later, finally arrived in front of the first BOSS.

  Emberwing (Bronze-tier leader)

  Level: 23

  Life: 138,000

  This is a huge, flame-composed elemental creature, over ten meters tall, like a giant bonfire. Still no small monsters, in the vast palace, there is only one BOSS standing.

  "Come on, let's start messing with our ears!" Han Paozi said to Zhang Yang, this is Zhang Yang's regular time to explain BOSS skills.

  Zhang Yang shook his head and began to explain the BOSS's tactics and skills: "The BOSS is a mage monster, with low melee damage, but will frequently cast fireballs at the first hatred target. The spellcasting time is three seconds, and one hit is 1000 points of damage! Xiaoxue, you'd better resign yourself to your fate, single-healing death mode, destined to be busy from start to finish, playing with heartbeats!"

  Han Baozi burst out laughing and shouted: "Xue Mei, just give in to Yang Zi already!"

  "Pervert!"

  "What a wonderful thing!"

  Two women spat at the same time.

  "Hey, how did I get scolded again?" Zhang Yang said innocently.

  Qiao Xue'er said: "As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together..."

  " Birds of a feather flock together!" Water Smoke interjected, "You two address each other as brothers, you must be of the same kind!"

  "A good man doesn't fight with a woman!" Zhang Yang hung up the non-aggression flag and continued to explain, "The BOSS's second skill is called Knockback. It knocks back all targets within melee range by 3 meters and deals 500 points of fire damage. At the same time, it also stacks a flame weakness, increasing the damage taken from fire magic by 50%! This is quite fierce! If I get hit with Flame Strike after Knockback, and I already have the flame weakness on me, it'll take off 1800 health from me. If I wasn't at full health to begin with, there's a chance I could be one-shot!"
