When the fire had finished spurting, Fire Ice had fallen, and the party was only left with three people.
“Brother Yi, can we still do it?”
“No idea.”
Li Yi kept on shooting, but when his attack landed on the boss, it may as well be just tickling it.
If there were more people, even if only eight were alive, there was still hope that the boss could be defeated in this segment which did not require any healer or main tanks.
It was a pity that it would not work now. Once Karone’s Determination disappeared, the boss would enter into Berserk Mode. At that time, there might not be any chance of winning.
Time passed little by little. Apart from Fire Ice’s body lying on the ground, no other players’ bodies were seen around. They had all released their souls and exited the dungeon.
“Fight, bash it up!”
Li Yi was enraged.
The three moved about in the Fire Net, steadily continuing their damage output against the boss.
The boss’ HP gradually reduced…
After an hour, the boss’ HP had dropped nine-tenths, but it was at this time that Karone’s Determination disappeared.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The Dragon Head emitted a series of explosive sounds, and its whole body turned bloody red, which was a sign that it was going berserk.
“What a pity.” Chen Yang sighed slightly. He and Li Yi felt the same, and they could not accept this result.
There was only one-tenth of HP left. If there were a few more people, they would have passed this time.
Brushing past the first kill; who would not be frustrated with this kind of situation?
Probably only Hua Feiwu, who had run away for fear of dropping his equipment, did not think so?
“This temporary party is really too crappy.”
There were still three people alive thus far – Li Yi, Chen Yang, and the Shooting Vagabond from the Century Flower Guild, Qing Ping Le.
Li Yi said smilingly, “A good party needs constant grinding. Of course, character is more important.”
The trio stood there motionless, silently waiting for death to arrive.
The boss had entered Berserk Mode, and there was no chance of winning…
“Heroes, your capabilities has exceeded my anticipation. The Fire Beast has entered the ultimate form, and you’re not its opponent. Come quickly.”
When the Fire Beast shot out a Sea of Fire, Karone the old Dwarf ran over and waved out a stream of Holy Light to block it. He then cast a Teleportation Spell and directly sent Li Yi and the trio to a safe place.
Karone’s Teleportation Spell sent them to a random destination, hence Li Yi and the trio did not arrive together.
This time, even Li Yi was stunned.
In the past life, he had only seen the Fire Beast’s guide, but he did not actually have much memory about this Instance Dungeon. For example, this situation of Karone saving people was not mentioned in the guide, so he naturally did not know about it.
“Could it be that when the number in the team is less than five, and after Karone’s Determination has disappeared, only then will such an event happen?”
Li Yi checked his backpack and found that there was an amulet in it.
[Karone’s Thank You (Purple. Special item. Only one way to obtain it. Hard to come by)]
[When knocked down, you can resurrect on the spot in a complete state with full HP. Can be used only once.]
“Brother Yi, I acquired an amulet, and it actually enables me to resurrect on the spot!” Chen Yang’s excited voice came from the private chat channel at this time.
The three who were alive each got an amulet.
“Only can resurrect on the spot. Although the effect is far less than the Divine Stone, it’s also a good stuff in the early game.”
Li Yi shook his head helplessly.
After battling for so long, only a consolation prize was obtained. Could he not be depressed?
“Everyone to gather at the dungeon entrance. Everyone to gather at the dungeon entrance.” Delicately Cute began to spam the guild’s channel.
Chen Yang messaged again, “Brother Yi, where are you? I’m surrounded by little monsters, and I can’t move at all.”
“If you really can’t do anything, just use the Return Scroll, or if you’re not afraid of dying, you can charge into the mob. In that way, you can then resurrect at the dungeon entrance.”
“…I think I’d better use the Return Scroll.”
Li Yi looked at the immediate environment, and he seemed to be not far from the entrance dungeon.
“Ding!”
Li Yi had just run out of the passage when he saw a Fire Dwarf. Unlike the ordinary monsters, this Fire Dwarf did not directly charge at Li Yi but turned around to flee.
“Escape? Sound effect!”
Li Yi was startled, and he immediately drew his bow to shoot, chasing after that Fire Dwarf.
There were many monsters that could run away in King of Pantheon. However, the monster that produced a ‘ding’ sound effect while running away was to remind the player that it had some precious item on it. Once it died, the item would one hundred percent be dropped.
Although this Fire Dwarf before him was not a rare species, how could Li Yi relinquish such a good opportunity?
In the face of a Fire Dwarf who would not fight back, was there any difficulty in putting it down? After just a while, the Fire Dwarf was lying on the ground and had dropped four pieces of equipment.
There was a black staff, Destruction Staff, which was the highest grade weapon in the early days of a Dark Wizard.
[Blue bracer (plate armor)]
[Blue pauldron (plate armor]
[Blue greaves (plate armor)]
Li Yi quickly stepped forward and picked up all four things.
“The little monsters here can drop golden equipment? That’s not right. Destruction Staff can only be dropped by Violent Ape King, that kind of world boss. Could it be…”
Recalling the earlier scene when Hua Feiwu ran away, Li Yi gasped a little.
Going back to two hours ago…
Hua Feiwu rushed madly for the dungeon entrance to escape.
His intention was simple – first, keep away the important equipment; and then, run back to command. He had calculated the distance, and if all was smooth-going, it would be done in less than ten minutes.
“Is Old Green still outside? Wait for me, I’ll pass my equipment to you first.”
The moment Hua Feiwu had finished speaking, a Fire Dwarf discovered him. It went up to him and hammered down twice. Unfortunately for him, both times were Critical Hits, and he was knocked out on the spot. What worried him the most happened instantly. Not only was his Destruction Staff dropped, but even the three blue plate armors he used to garner his GS were also dropped.
“F*ck!”
Hua Feiwu was furious. Knowing that no one could save him now, he quickly released his soul to probe about the dungeon entrance, but he still failed to enter the dungeon.
The battle was still on-going on the inside, so the dungeon entrance was temporarily closed. It would be uncanny if he could enter right now.
His equipment had dropped again, and he was afraid of them being picked up by others, so he dared not tell anyone but stood at the dungeon entrance and waited.
…
‘Hua Feiwu’s equipment. Should I return them to him?
‘Certainly not!
‘Not to mention Hua Feiwu’s attitude toward me earlier on. Just with his conduct of chickening out, he has no right to own these equipment.’ Li Yi exited the dungeon, and Hua Feiwu greeted him, wanting to ask, and yet not opening his mouth for a long time.
Hua Feiwu rammed at the dungeon entrance with his body, but the entrance was still closed-off, and he could not get in.
It was not until Qing Pingle came out that the dungeon entrance was opened, and Hua Feiwu immediately rushed in…
“Choosing to cooperate with the Century Flower Guild this time is my fault. I apologize to everyone.” Delicately Cute’s voice came through the guild channel.
[Hua Feiwu was asked to leave the team…]
[Century Battlemaster was asked to leave the team…]
[Qing Pingle was asked to leave the team…]
…
The party commander this time was Hua Feiwu, but the leader who formed the party was Delicately Cute.
“What are you doing? Why did you kick me out?”
Hua Feiwu asked Delicately Cute in a huff.
“Our collaboration is over,” Delicately Cute nonchalantly said.
“***, my equipment is still in the dungeon. If you kick me out, I’ll be automatically transported outside. Hurry up and add me in. Add me in!”
Hua Feiwu was so agitated that his speech was incoherent.
He did not know how he was that hapless. Just earlier on, Hua Feiwu had died another three times while looking for his equipment inside the dungeon. Two of his equipment were dropped again. He was almost going crazy.
If a person was to be ill-starred, even the water could be stuck between one’s teeth while drinking. 1
