Chapter 72: Great Harvest
Ye Li ng, as the best-equipped Player, despite being blessed with the Taiping Talisman, was actually killed by Jian Shuo in just one encounter!
Although it was already known that Jian Shuo was powerful.
They did not expect him to be this ferocious.
This was even stronger than two or three Xu Fengs combined!
After killing Ye Li ng, Jian Shuo’s health once again recovered, showing that his lifesteal ability was not a one-ti use, but that each enemy he killed, or even each ti he inflicted damage, would grant him replenishnt.
As long as he maintained the rhythm in this situation.
He could almost fight until the end of ti!
Jian Shuo once again turned into a spirit-form state, riding his horse calmly among the Players, and all attacks were unable to harm him.
With a sweeping motion of his great halberd.
He took down two Players with a basic attack.
"Fuck, this guy can ignore attacks, this is totally unplayable!" Street Slayer shouted unwillingly.
Black-Eyed Rui Ge quickly cald everyone down: "Everyone stay steady, don’t panic, no battle chanic is truly unbeatable."
Judging from the current situation.
Jian Shuo was stronger than Feng Xu and Xu Feng.
Aside from his powerful attacks that could instantly kill Ye Li ng, plus the mobility granted by his warhorse, the most troubleso abilities were his spirit-form and his lifesteal attacks.
The forr allowed him to ignore the Players' attacks.
The latter allowed him to sustain himself through continuous recovery.
If they could not quickly figure out a way to counter this, everyone would soon face complete annihilation.
Brother Ma suddenly spoke up: "If this guy’s spirit-form could truly avoid all attacks, why was he almost burned to death in the fire and forced to flee?"
Exactly!
Why?
Salted Fish Thrust and Black-Eyed Rui Ge were imdiately enlightened.
Black-Eyed Rui Ge imdiately said: "Could it be that his spirit-form can only evade physical attacks, but cannot avoid magic attacks?"
At this mont, Little Bell fired a Fla Arrow that hit the spirit-form Jian Shuo, but like a normal arrow, it passed straight through his body.
"Useless!"
"Magic attacks can also be dodged!"
"At least the strength of this magic attack is still not enough!"
At this ti, Salted Fish Thrust had an idea: "I get it, he can only go spirit-form when he is not taking damage; if he is currently taking damage, the skill would be disabled."
Brother Ma: "Makes sense, he couldn't use the skill inside the fire because he was constantly being burned!"
Jian Shuo launched another attack.
He speared Midnight Pig Slayer to death with one thrust.
Although Jian Shuo’s abilities were extrely powerful, during the attack he must materialize, and this brief gap was enough for experts to seize the opportunity to strike.
Lone Boat turned into a shadow and instantly appeared in front of him, the Blood Mark Sword like a venomous snake, stabbing straight for Jian Shuo’s throat.
However, Jian Shuo reacted extrely fast and swiftly parried it, bouncing the attack away.
Clang!
Sparks flew.
During the defense, Jian Shuo did suffer so damage, but it was negligible and had almost no effect, and he seized the opportunity to stab Lone Boat.
Good chance!
Black-Eyed Rui Ge quietly approached.
He threw a clay pot that shattered against Jian Shuo’s body.
Although it caused no damage, Jian Shuo was drenched in concentrated toad oil.
"Not good!"
Jian Shuo realized sothing was wrong.
He tried to enter spirit-form to evade attacks.
Chira Wraith had long been charging her Fla Arrow; she seized the fleeting opportunity and hit the target, not only causing significant damage but also successfully igniting Jian Shuo, inflicting persistent burn damage that was difficult to extinguish.
Jian Shuo let out a furious low growl.
The great halberd glowed red once more.
A fierce sweeping slash sent several Players flying, instantly killing two of them.
During this process, various arrows and spells struck him, and Black-Eyed Rui Ge occasionally threw another homade oil pot to keep him burning continuously, causing his health bar to deplete at a terrifying speed.
"Hahaha!"
"His skill is disabled!"
"In this state, he really can’t go spirit-form!"
"Nor can he heal with lifesteal attacks!"
Lone Boat, Black-Eyed Rui Ge, Salted Fish Thrust, and the others were overjoyed at the sight; luck was truly on their side.
Even after figuring out the combat chanics, killing this guy was not an easy task.
"Jian Shuo!"
"You’re done for!"
"Surrender now!"
The morale of the Players soared, and they launched a frenzied assault.
Although Jian Shuo’s most troubleso ability was temporarily suppressed, as a level 7 top elite monster, he was still not to be underestimated, especially with his red glowing halberd technique that even the best-equipped Ye Li ng couldn't withstand.
However.
This skill had a long cooldown ti.
Mad Blade Old Wang, Salted Fish Thrust, and Street Slayer, all warriors, activated Iron Armor under the blessing of the Taiping Talisman and engaged Jian Shuo in close combat, neutralizing his mobility advantage.
Bang!
The warhorse fell first.
Jian Shuo switched from mounted combat to ground combat.
This made his disadvantage even more obvious.
Rui Ge, Lone Boat, Little Bell, Chira Wraith, and others attacked from mid-to-long range, and before long, Jian Shuo’s health bar was nearly depleted.
Although the Players suffered significant casualties, more than half survived, with the core fighting strength mostly intact.
However, at this mont.
Jian Shuo suddenly ceased his attacks.
"Although your strength is diocre, you are quite good at cooperation!"
Hearing him speak, the Players imdiately beca highly alert, fearing that this BOSS had a second phase.
Even if he was near death, he could not be underestimated!
"This battle shall count as your victory."
"We shall et again soon."
"I hope you have the sa luck next ti!"
While speaking, Jian Shuo stabbed his halberd into his own body, clearing his almost empty health bar completely, then fell to the ground, dropping a white loot light cluster.
"He committed suicide?"
"What’s going on?"
"Maybe he just wanted to die with dignity!"
"What did he an by his last words?"
"Haha, who cares, as long as loot drops, it’s all good!"
"..."
Rui Ge and the others hurried to pick up the loot.
【You have picked up loot: Essence 3600, Abyssal Magic Stone Fragnt 8000, Corrupted Gem 10, Bloodthirsty Great Halberd 1!】
【You have picked up loot: Essence 2500, Abyssal Magic Stone Fragnt 5000, Corrupted Gem 10, Shadow Thunder Necklace 1!】
The Players discovered.
Even if a monster did not die directly at the hands of a Player, as long as 80–90% of its damage was caused directly or indirectly by Players, the drop rate would not be affected.
Thus, the loot this ti was very generous.
【Bloodthirsty Great Halberd】: Tier-One Equipnt, White-Grade High-Quality, Attack 19, Strength 6, every ti it deals effective damage there is a chance to restore a small amount of health, Durability 19/30.
【Shadow Thunder Necklace】: Tier-One Equipnt, White-Grade High-Quality, Lightning Spell Amplification 10, Lightning Damage Immunity 10, Spirit 2, Durability 15/30.
Seeing the dropped items.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Two top-grade pieces of equipnt for the current stage had dropped again.
Especially the Bloodthirsty Great Halberd, which was no less than the Blood Mark Sword, boasting extrely high attack power and lifesteal effects, making it especially suitable for warriors!
"Good fight!"
Hang Yu had watched the entire battle from the main camp via the Lord’s Perspective.
Except for Jian Shuo, Feng Xu, and a few monsters, the other small bosses and the vast majority of the monsters failed to escape the sea of fire.
The Players achieved a trendous victory at minimal cost despite the great disparity in strength.
After about an hour.
Although the flas had not completely gone out, the Players couldn’t wait to enter the fire field to retrieve the dropped loot, minimizing the loss of Essence.
【Player A Sword Cos from the West has died, Essence 900!】
【Player Zha Jiang Mian has died, Essence 1250!】
【Player Brother Ma has died, Essence 900!】
【……】
Nine Players died while scavenging loot, earning Hang Yu several thousand extra Essence points for no reason.
However, thanks to the Players' efforts, the vast majority of loot was successfully recovered.
Although a small part was lost, it was still a massive profit.
Lone Boat, Black-Eyed Rui Ge, and Artist Faction Leader directly leveled up to level 7.
Artist Faction Leader, who contributed the most, received a large share of the Essence, becoming the fastest leveling Player so far.
The number of level 6 Players.
Instantly increased by six more.
The generous loot greatly boosted the Players' strength.
The Calamity Army then recaptured the River Pavilion Blessing Point, once again opening the teleportation point between the main camp and River Pavilion, thus regaining control of the crucial forward base.
A complete and overwhelming victory!
An incredibly rich harvest!
Ti to pop the champagne in celebration!
Would the Calamity Army be satisfied with this?
Of course not.
Players were notoriously greedy, and besides, the threats had not yet been completely eradicated.
Shortly after, eighty Players gathered for a eting.
On one hand, they divided up the loot.
On the other hand, they planned their next big move — taking advantage of their montum to directly challenge the big BOSS, Ma Yuanyi!
A once-in-a-lifeti opportunity was right before their eyes!
The defenses of the core contamination zone were now extrely weak!
Ma Yuanyi was almost a commander without an army!
The Players had regained the River Pavilion teleportation point, making troop reinforcent very convenient!
Eighty against one.
They could even rotate in battle.
In such a situation, how could they possibly lose?
Thinking of this, the Players beca very fired up!
If they could resolve the issue before Ultimate Darkness descended, they would surely obtain perfect mission rewards, not to ntion Contribution Points and Essence would pour in endlessly.
Who could resist such temptation and benefits!
"Roar!"
"Charge!"
"There's no ti!"
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
"This will definitely be a BOSS fight for the ages!"
"First ti challenging a Commander-level BOSS — to be honest, I’m a little nervous!"
