After leaving Wang Yu and Vainglory behind, Fearless brought the team into the second level.
<System Notification: Your current team has found “Queen’s Lair”.>
Even though the Queen’s Lair was mentioned as the second level, it wasn’t actually the second roll of intestine. The exit to this map was directly facing Di Kapia’s stomach.
This was different from the maze in the first level. The Queen’s Lair was a big and independent empty space. It seemed like a specialised opening from the foundation of the first level.
In the deepest position of the Queen’s Lair, there was a massive parasite stuck to the wall very tightly. Besides looking very ugly, this parasite even grew limbs. Its tail was round like a spider’s abdomen as it was facing the entrance of the second level.
Looking at such a monster, everyone felt utterly disgusted.
The Sinister Queen Parasite (LV45) (Obsidian)
HP: 20000
MP: 20000
Skill: Invincible Vitality, Egg Laying, Evil Parasitic, Multi-control
Monster Description: A terrifying parasite who has tortured Di Kapia for who knows how many years?
“Just a normal BOSS?” Looking at the Queen Parasite’s description, everyone was slightly taken aback. Even a fella like the Mounted Eagle Ape King was an intelligent BOSS so how could a terrifying looking BOSS like this parasite be only a normal BOSS? This was clearly not logical.
Fearless replied, “This is normal. Parasites usually rely on their body instinct to work which explains why they wouldn’t be able to think. Naturally, they couldn’t be an elite BOSS.”
“I see…But why do I have this feeling that this fella is much more terrifying than an elite monster?” Nine Solitary Spears frowned.
Nine Solitary Spears wasn’t the only one as everyone else had the same expression.
After experiencing the parasite, everyone had a whole new understanding and knowledge of such a disgusting monster. If the Parasite Queen was an intelligent monster, it might not be as terrifying. On the other hand, a monster without logical thinking capability with such frightening powers would just like zombies in an apocalypse movie. This was what truly made them fearful.
Fearless answered, “This fella is not only frightening, it isn’t easy to kill too.”
“Really? Can’t we do what we did earlier on?” Nine Solitary Spears replied.
The powers of a parasite were indeed frightening but it shouldn’t be difficult once they found the right method to do so. Everyone understood this point from their firsthand experience.
Fearless replied in a cold tone, “Which one of your dog eye did you use to see any White Blood Cell here?”
“You’re the dog…” Nine Solitary Spears wanted to fly into a rage when he heard Fearless’ insult but he quickly looked around to realise that Fearless was right. In this massive Queen’s Lair, there was only the Queen Parasite and no other monster.
Looking at this situation, cold sweat started emerging on everyone’s back.
White Blood Cells were the key monsters to deal with the parasite. Without the White Blood Cells, a tiny parasite was enough to cause trouble for the entire group of them. To make things worse, they were currently facing the Queen Parasite BOSS.
From the skill description, it seemed like the most frightening part of the parasite was the incredible vitality. However, this Queen Parasite was even more exaggerated looking at its invincible vitality. Just this description alone was enough to frighten them. Moreover, it even had a multi-control skill.
“So how? Should we engage him?” Ming Du turned to Fearless.
Presently, Queen Parasite was basically lying motionlessly on the wall. This should be a BOSS which players have to engage.
Fearless pondered for a moment, “Let’s engage it first. We have to familiarize ourselves before thinking of a countermeasure.”
It would be impossible not to have any sacrifice when taking on a dungeon quest. More importantly, one must understand the BOSS’s skills before sacrificing. After understanding the BOSS’s skills, they will then be able to slowly strategise to deal with it.
Moreover, they couldn’t cancel Di Kapia’s quest after accepting it. Therefore, they wouldn’t be able to leave even if they chose not to engage the BOSS. For now, all they could do was to slowly come up with a plan. After all, the system would never have come up with a BOSS that couldn’t be dealt with.
“En!” Ming Du nodded and just as he was going to engage the BOSS, Fearless suddenly stopped him.
“Hold up, everyone should clear your secondary equipment list before engaging it,” Fearless instructed.
“What for?” Nine Solitary Spears asked in displeasure.
Secondary equipment list was meant for their reserved equipment for one to switch weapons anytime they wanted during a fight. For long-ranged jobs, the secondary equipment list was really meant for reserve. However, for close-ranged jobs, they depended heavily on the secondary equipment list.
Take Crotch Lord and Thunderlord Block for example, the greater the expert, the more frequent they would switch weapons during a fight. Therefore, when Fearless said this, Nine Solitary Spears thought that Fearless was trying to sacrifice them.
Fearless glared at Nine Solitary Spears before replying, “Of course I have a reason for it. Afterwards, whoever got taken advantage by the parasite must rush to switch your equipment.”
It would take a parasite five seconds to fully take over the player. In this five seconds, the parasitic player will not be able to attack but can switch equipment.
The artificial body that was duplicated would be the equipment left on the parasitic player after the five seconds. If a player could remove the equipment during this gap, the attributes of the duplicated body would be lowered by several levels. At that point in time, everyone would have an easier time to deal with these opponents.
Hearing Fearless’ explanation, everyone understood his understanding. Thunderlord Block looked at Fearless with admiration. To be able to notice this small detail and come out with such a strategy, how quick-witted was this fella in a situation like this?
“Let’s do it!”
After arranging the equipment, Ming Du sent a lightning bolt right onto the Queen Parasite’s body.
After one hit by Ming Du, the Queen Parasite lost about one-fifth of its health. Nobody was particularly surprised about Ming Du’s attack because everyone knew that this fella wouldn’t be defeated so easily.
After the Queen Parasite was attacked, the four limbs stuck to the wall loosened up and it fell onto the ground. Afterwards, it turned to Ming Du and opened up its mouth full of suction pads.
Everyone could faintly tell that the Queen Parasite’s mouth was not only filled with the countless amount of suction pads but also a lot of sharp teeth. Thinking about how a parasite leeched onto its opponent, everyone could feel their blood run cold…”F*ck, imagine this plaything on your face. It will bite your entire face off!”
“Hurry up and stop him!”
Ming Du immediately took a few steps back as Crotch Lord held onto his shield to stand right in front of the squad. At this moment, the Queen Parasite had already rushed over as it charged right into Crotch Lord’s shield.
Crotch Lord took advantage of this opportunity to charge at the Queen Parasite and a dizzy symbol appeared on the top of the Queen Parasite’s head.
“Heh, this plaything can be controlled!”
As they saw the Queen Parasite dizzy, everyone couldn’t help but feel pleasantly surprised. This was the only thing about the BOSS that made them feel pleased.
Crotch Lord’s shield made Queen Parasite dizzy for about three seconds. This three second was enough for everyone to launch a wave of attacks together. Currently, the Queen Parasite only had about 15000 health but after just one wave of attack, Queen Parasite’s health was only left with the last point.
After the health bar was wiped clean, the Queen Parasite’s Invincible Vitality was activated and the dizziness was automatically relieved. After that, it let out a devastating cry and retreated. As the Queen Parasite retreated, its tail started to release eggs after eggs.
