Chapter 65: Can't Be Killed?
The Wasteland of Bones is still shrouded in thick fog, with a gloomy atmosphere that seems to touch the sky. The undead spirits and zombies that roam forever create an eerie and terrifying ambiance. Because Zhang Yang and his team had only entered a small area of the Wasteland of Bones previously, only a small part of the map was lit up, while most areas remained pitch black.
In "Miracle", new maps require players to explore and discover, or they can be purchased from NPCs who specialize in selling maps for that region.
"This place is disgusting!" Qiao Xue'er said with disgust, while squeezing closer to Shui Yan'er, her two hands tightly grasping the other's hem.
"Sister, you're so old, still afraid of this and that, aren't you ashamed!" Shuiyan finally grabbed the opportunity to vent her anger.
Xue Er scolded lightly, "You're such a careless and scatterbrained guy!"
"Hehe!" Shuiyan didn't take it seriously, but instead laughed and said, "Sister, let's dress up as ghosts and scare people at the apartment entrance tonight?"
Zhang Yang and the three others were all confused, what on earth was this little girl's brain filled with?!
The deeper they walked into the Withered Bone Plain, the higher the level of these monsters. They gradually rose from level 21 to level 24. Fortunately, the few of them were powerful and had no trouble killing them, leaving a trail of corpses along the way.
"You can find the evil sorcerer Shak in the Bone Spirit Cave to the west of Withered Bone Plain!" Easy for you to say, this map is so big, where am I supposed to find that cave?! After walking for half a day, he had only opened up one quarter of the western region on his map. Han Piaozi was getting impatient.
"Or we can split up and search separately?" Baifa Yizhong suggested.
"Alright, let's split up and act separately!"
The five people split into four groups, and Xiaoxue naturally wouldn't leave Shuiyan, setting off in four different directions.
People scattered, the speed of killing monsters naturally slowed down, but because it was proceeding in four directions at the same time, the speed of exploring the map naturally accelerated. In less than ten minutes, I heard Qiao Xue'er say: "This side! Come to our side!"
Due to the distance, the two women had already disappeared from Zhang Yang's mini-map. He hastily opened his large map, confirmed the direction and rushed towards that side. After killing many monsters along the way, he saw that there were also monster corpses on the ground, apparently someone was walking ahead of him. Looking at the mini-map, it was Han Piao Zi.
Before long, Zhang Yang and the other two joined forces with the two women. This was a very flat and low hill, at the foot of which there was an entrance to a cave about three people high, and nearby were seven or eight skull-like monsters patrolling back and forth. Opening the large map again, this area had already appeared, marked with the four characters "Bone Spirit Cave".
"Go, advance!" Zhang Yang waved his sharp blade and rushed out first.
Recently Assembled Skull (Common)
Level: 25
Health: 2500
Han Paozi couldn't help but laugh when he saw the monster's name, saying: "Who has such a heavy taste, actually playing with skulls!" He glanced at Shuiyaner and said with a lewd smile, "Yan'er, compared to them, you're already plump enough!"
"Fathead!"
Han Paozi's lewdness suddenly triggered public outrage, and he was beaten by the two women. However, although Han Paozi was beaten badly, his face still had a captivating smile, and he shouted "Hmm-hmm-oh-oh" again, scaring the two women so much that they stopped hitting him.
Clearing out the small monsters, everyone entered the cave. Fortunately, the game designer did not make it difficult for players, as there were torches lit everywhere in the cave, and although it couldn't be said to be brightly lit, it was no problem at all to see distant objects clearly.
Just like the outside, there were also wandering skulls everywhere in the cave, but they were all ordinary-level monsters and couldn't pose a threat to everyone. The five of them marched forward with great momentum, killing their way through, and not a single monster could withstand more than five seconds. As a result, Qiao Xue'er was left with nothing to do, and could only pick up money, cloth, and equipment in the back.
After a while, Zhang Yang's somewhat vague memories gradually cleared up, and he said: "I remember now, this cave has five layers in total, the big BOSS is at the very bottom!"
In his previous life, he had never been here, but on the forum, he saw an introduction to the Bone Spirit Cave. The cave has a total of five layers, each with a small BOSS, and in addition to the normal bronze equipment drops, there are also some very valuable non-combat items. In the later stages of the game, the Bone Spirit Cave in each main city region map is always booked by large guilds for a long time. Ordinary players don't even know what the BOSS looks like, let alone get equipment from it!
"Damn it, five floors!" Han Paozi looked at the first floor that still hadn't been finished after walking for half a day and couldn't help but blurt out a curse.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's a bit of trouble, but every level has a small BOSS guarding the gate, and the rewards are pretty good too!"
Han Paozi immediately gained morale, and his spirit was boosted a hundredfold. He shouted: "Let's go, let's go, push the BOSS, get equipment!"
Under the powerful firepower of the five, the small monsters on the road could only become a pile of flying ash. After more than ten minutes, they arrived at the end of this first layer - a two-meter-high giant skull frame blocked their way forward.
Ghoul Captain Gaven (Bronze Tier Leader)
Level: 25
Life value: 2.5 million
"Today, how can you be even more fierce than the BOSS in the copy!" Han Paozi was tongue-tied.
Zhang Yang said, "The duplicate has a limited number of people, the Mazhabi nest we're fighting is only for five people, and this wild BOSS doesn't have a limit on the number of people, if there's too little blood, what if we get killed in one second? Wouldn't that be a waste of the BOSS's share?"
"I don't know what skills I have, but hopefully I won't be as fierce as the Poison Dart Frog King!" Thinking of being "shot in the face" by the Poison Dart Frog King, Han Paozi still had a lingering fear.
"Alright, you three scattered remote profession points, little girl, let's go!" Zhang Yang drew out his sword blade and charged forward a few steps.
“-334!”
As soon as he entered the BOSS's range of hatred, the skeleton captain also let out a roar and swung his bony arm at Zhang Yang. But the dizziness from the charge still took effect, although it was only for less than half a second, the BOSS immediately froze in place.
"Shell shattered!"
“-160!”
Zhang Yang, on the premise of sufficient hatred, prioritizes giving BOSS a full set of "shattered armor" to maximize team damage.
"How dare you, bold intruders, to trespass on Shakka's domain! I'll drain your souls and turn you all into my slaves!" Skull Captain Gaven roared back to life.
"Stinky old freak, your mouth is full of stench, time to brush your teeth!" Water Smoke swung her spear in a flurry of strikes, dealing massive damage to the BOSS. After this morning's dungeon run, she also equipped several new pieces of gear and became much stronger.
"Little girl, I'm going to suck your blood dry!" Skull Captain Gavin suddenly dropped Zhang Yang and swiftly wrapped his arms around Shuiyan, opening his white teeth and biting down on her delicate neck.
"Ding! Player Watersmoke has been affected by the Bone Gnasher's bloodsucking effect, losing 200 HP per second and restoring 2000 HP to the caster for 10 seconds!"
"Ahh——stupid BOSS, let me go!" Water Smoke was panicked and struggled with all her might, but under the control of the BOSS's skill effect, she couldn't resist at all. She felt like Sun Wukong being pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, no matter how great her abilities were, it was hard to turn over!
Zhang Yang burst out laughing and said: "Little girl, it seems you have a face that invites ridicule. Why does the boss beat you up instead of others?"
"Anemic warrior, hurry up and save me?" Water Smoke shouted.
"It's useless, can't interrupt!" Bai Fa Yizhong shook his head and said. He and Han Paozi had both tried using "Silent Shot", but neither of them could interrupt the BOSS's bloodsucking.
Fortunately, there is still Qiao Xue'er here, and each treatment technique is used to maintain the life value of Shuixun within a safe range.
Within ten seconds, the BOSS threw away the water smoke and started a crazy bombardment against Zhang Yang. Although the firepower of these people was strong, the BOSS's blood-sucking effect was even more heaven-defying, recovering 20,000 blood in ten seconds, with his blood volume not decreasing but increasing, basically reaching full health.
"Useless little hunter, I'll suck your blood dry!" Captain Gaven of the Skull Squad flashed towards Han Baozi and pounced on him, opening his huge bony arms to hug him tightly, and took a big bite.
"Ding! The slender and handsome male player was affected by the Bone Fang's blood-sucking effect, losing 200 life points per second and restoring 2000 life points to the caster for 10 seconds!"
"Don't suck Brother Pang's blood, Brother Pang's blood stinks and is not good to drink!" Han Pangszi gritted his teeth and looked at the skull in front of him with a stomach full of disgust.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The green reply numbers kept jumping on BOSS's head, and after ten seconds, they suddenly boosted the blood volume to 95%!
"Wipe, hit it and suck some blood, can't kill it at all!" Han Paozi looked at the BOSS's nearly full life bar and couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhang Yang also furrowed his brow, the five of them didn't have enough firepower. If they had more than ten people's worth of firepower output, the BOSS's bloodsucking efficiency would definitely not be able to keep up with its dropping health!
"Anemic warrior, is there any way? If we keep fighting like this, my cousin will turn blue!"
"Hmm, BOSS has only lost 5% of his blood, but our blue has already decreased by 15%! At this rate, we're the ones who will definitely die!" Qiao Xue'er said calmly.
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said, "Everyone stop!"
The other four people didn't understand but stopped as well due to their trust in Zhang Yang.
"Don't stop, nanny!" Zhang Yang continued to move positions, dodging most of the BOSS's attacks, but the BOSS's level was high, and its attack speed was getting faster and faster, making it harder to dodge, and he would inevitably take a few hits.
Qiao Xue'er hummed and said, "You're the one who said to stop everything!" However, she still started casting a healing spell, raising Zhang Yang's blood volume.
94%……93%……92%……
Only Zhang Yang was outputting, so the BOSS's blood volume naturally dropped slower, slowly dropping to 90%.
"Damn shield warrior, no matter how thick your skin is, I'll bite through you!" The BOSS suddenly hugged Zhang Yang tightly and opened his big mouth to bite him, releasing the blood-sucking skill.
"This BOSS's bloodsucking skill is based on its blood volume! The faster you hit it, the higher the frequency of its bloodsucking, and the slower you hit it, the less it uses!" Zhang Yang seemed to have somewhat understood the BOSS's skill activation rules.
"That means, unless the team's damage per second exceeds 2000, it can never be killed?"
Everyone was stunned. Although they were much stronger than other players of the same level, excluding Qiao Yifei, the total burst damage of the four of them barely exceeded 600!
How do I hit this?
