Lin Jie elaborated on the consequences of being wiped out in a serious tone, then took three steps back, and he said, “Let’s get started.”
“Loser!”
The Silver Shield activated the Forward Charge and pressed against Lei Zhika’s rotten stomach, and his face turned pale. As someone who had the ability to create an earthly inferno, the Boss had lost all his senses. He was determined to join the dark side and was not petty to himself when he had forced down all sorts of potion into his throat.
Yes, forced.
Silver Shield could clearly see the reflective reagent bottles in Lei Zhika’s stomach, while different types of sticky potions stained his stomach with many colors. The sight sent chills down the spines of many.
“Hey, I saw some great testing materials.” Lei Zhika chuckled with his dangling eyes almost sticking onto Silver Shield’s face. That gross scene threatened to make everyone else vomit. Nevertheless, Silver Shield was tough enough to endure the disgusting scene; after all, he was summoned by The Heavenly Shield, how could he tarnish his master’s reputation?
Defense mode!
Lei Zhika’s right hand fell weakly onto the shield with a smacking sound and created only 100 over points of damage. However, the horror of Lei Zhika was unleashed completely subsequently, because the tens of eggs left on the impact area hatched instantly and the worms snuck into Silver Shield’s arm and started biting it. A wave of damage points of around 120 popped out. In the blink of an eye, the health points of Silver Shield almost hit rock bottom.
“Mass Dispel!” Bu Yi waved her staff, and a refreshing life force surrounded the shield, and the worms dropped onto the floor one by one.
Dispelling Spells were able to get rid of worms and most venoms!
“Replace with MT, please be reminded to maintain MT’s health bar above 50% but not more than 60% during the healing process. The attack by the worms will cause players to lose 5% of their current health points, the minimum amount would be 50% of the player’s highest health points and avoid excessive healing,” shouted Lin Jie.
“All output careers to go all out!”
(Each player had a maximum of 1,000 health points, if the player lost 50 points in the first attack, then they would lose less than 50 points in the second one. Therefore, if the player had only 10 health points to begin with, wouldn’t they be invincible? Since the damage caused was based on the minimum amount of points the players had and 50% was 500 points, the damage points caused by the worms would be fixed at 25 points.)
The battle could be triggered at any moment!
Lei Zhika grinned hideously and stretched his hand into his stomach. Then, a load of poisons flowed out and raced madly towards the dreadful humans before him. The colorful toxin potions stained the three MTs and made them seem like clowns, while the damage points quickly popped above their heads!
Among the three MTs, Mixed Breathless had the strongest equipment attributes. However, when it came to Lei Zhika’s horrifying poisons, they would be defeated effortlessly because, at this stage, nobody could counter the damage caused by the toxins by relying on personal skills or equipment attributes.
Venom Lei Zhika was well known as the King of Poisons in his previous life! All toxics ranging from level 1 to level 100 could be found in his decomposed stomach. Each poison required a specific antidote, the Shadow Poison needed the Shadow Poison-Antidote Potion, and the Natural Poison required the Natural Poison-Antidote Potion. Half a month before tackling the dungeon, all the Poison-Antidote Potions in the auction center had been sold out. Whenever Lei Zhika threw a bottle of poison out, MTs had to consume the corresponding antidote immediately. Otherwise, they would suffer from all sorts of damage and abnormal conditions. As a result of the awful game rules, all the antidotes in the auction center had been sold out within 20 days, and every single time an antidote appeared, it would be purchased immediately. It was only until some players realized that the Priests’”Dispel” skill could detoxify the poison that the prices of the antidotes dropped.
Lei Zhika could be classified into three stages. In the first stage, Lei Zhika had health points of more than 90%. The attacks he launched at this stage were just a repetition of spamming poisons. Although there were a few hundred types of poisons, Lei Zhika at the stage merely caused high levels of damage. As long as the healing process could stabilize the MTs’ health points and maintain it above 50% at all times to prevent the worms from creating sudden damages, and the MTs did not get thrashed, it would be simple to get past the level.
Up next was the second stage, the health points for the stage was between 10% to 90% and took up 80% of Lei Zhika’s health points. From this stage onwards, players had to catch every single poison thrown by Lei Zhika because missing the poison would cause it to land in the Epidemic Pond in the center of the map and Lei Zhika’s level or strengthened monsters would be hatched at random. However, that was where the problem lied! In the second stage, there was a 30% chance for Lei Zhika to throw the Lethal Poison, and as the name suggested, the player would die once they came in contact with the poison. The poison was deadly for everyone, even if the players had brought the powerful NPC Wind Rider Sword Saint into the dungeon.
Players had to dodge the Lethal Poisons, but escaping from them would mean that they would fall into the Epidemic Pond and the dreadful monster, Death Slime, would be hatched for sure. Although Death Slime only had 100 health points, it would explode when it died, and the deadly poison would fill up the entire space, thereby killing the players.
The third stage was worse. However, it was the easiest stage in the presence of the Mechanical Gargoyle.
After talking so much, it seemed like the “announced information about Lei Zhika and his ‘little monster’ had not been mentioned. This was related to another characteristic of Lei Zhika, commonly known as “giving birth” by the players. A wave of monsters would be summoned every time the health points of Lei Zhika decreased by 10%, and there could be Bosses or little monsters depending on the players’ luck. When the monsters appeared, Lei Zhika would hide.
As the health points decreased, the Epidemic Pond would become deeper and deeper, and the more types of monsters would evolve, thereby posing great trouble to players.
The Epidemic Pond was considered the most disgusting and hardest to deal with in the main dungeon of the War of Light due to its arbitrary and unexpected situations! When a dungeon was both challenging and heavily dependent on luck, it would be a total disaster and the players were bound to be doomed.
The problem was that it was the main dungeon of all other options!
“Ahahahahaha, go and die, die!”
Lei Zhika dug the poisons out of his stomach crazily and threw them at his target: Mixed Breathless. Lei Zhika launched six consecutive poison attacks and slapped his target with worm eggs. The attack slew Mixed Breathless and left him with no chance to heal himself!
The mutation occurred at the moment when everyone felt hopeless and shocked by the attacks from Lei Zhika. As long as Mixed Breathless stood up suddenly, his body would turn black gradually, and he would kneel down before Lei Zhika. Then, he would say in a humble manner, “Master, thank you for freeing me, I would fight for you!”
[The Moving Dead Body]: Level 30 Strengthened Elite, 100,000 Health Points
“Damn it, it is the revival potion!” scolded Lin Jie. “Zheng Ziliang, pull Mixed Breathless back! Bu Yi, hold on to the group dispel and do not throw it unless there are more than two dispel worms. Keep all the dispel revival potion!”
Bu Yi nodded with a serious face, and she made use of the quick-click tactic to put on the Power Word Shield for the short distance fight. Then, she fixed her eyes on the monster.
The health points of the other MTs in the team fluctuated greatly, and there were many times when the plummeted points were restored, and that stirred the emotions of many. Fortunately, the healing ability of the team was relatively good, the three priest brothers had impressive mass healing abilities. Together with the explosive solo treatment ability of the Paladin, the health points of the two MTs were stabilized.
Lin Jie’s opponent was the controlled Mixed Breathless. The revival potion could revive a dead body or cause 1,500 fixed damage points to live targets, and it had killed Mixed Breathless! In addition, those killed by the potion would turn into the attacker’s puppet and would launch their attacks using poisons.
Mixed Breathless raised his shield and charged towards Lin Jie. At that very moment, a gigantic pair of metal wings fell from the sky and blocked the attack from Mixed Breathless. Lin Jie looked up and saw the Mechanical Gargoyle hopping in joy as it smashed Mixed Breathless’ head with Water Roar.
“Shield Strike!”
Mixed Breathless used his shield to hit the Mechanical Gargoyle’s wings. However, the Mechanical Gargoyle only suffered 200 points of damage despite the wavelike cracks formed on the surface of its wings.
The Mechanical Gargoyle had extremely strong resistance due to its innate Magic Shield and Hardened Skin. In addition, it was not a living thing, so the poison had a limited effect on it. The Mechanical Gargoyle tore Mixed Breathless’ body apart mercilessly using its claws and a mega damage value popped out.
-560!
It must be acknowledged that the fusion of the Azure Titan’s Heart and the Burning Titan’s Heart was impressively brilliant!
With a resolute expression, Lin Jie gobbled down an enrage potion, while he activated the Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner and Flame Boost. Then, he slammed it on Mixed Breathless’ head.
-411!-402!-800!-358!
-1,201!
However, Mixed Breathless had extremely high defense power. Thus, he was minimally injured by Lin Jie’s attack, which was as high as 700 points. Nevertheless, the high output from Shield Cut was still shocking.
The Mechanical Gargoyle fought side by side with Lin Jie, and its body glimmered. That was the unique healing skill of contract beasts, and it could restore 25% of the beast’s health points within 5 seconds. However, the effects were limited to the beasts only. Therefore, that was also the iconic skill for the beasts to level up and tackle dungeons.
With Zheng Ziliang’s healing power, the Mechanical Gargoyle’s health points did not decrease. As a beast which had absorbed the two Titan’s Heart, namely the Azure Titan’s Heart and the Burning Titan’s Heart, its hardened skin and poison-resistant outer layer was not to be belittled. Although the Mechanical Gargoyle did not have astonishing basic skills, its grade and ability surpassed other robots greatly.
With the help of the Mechanical Gargoyle, Lin Jie could focus on attacking. Although he was targeted by Mixed Breathless, the enormous body of the Mechanical Gargoyle shielded him effectively in a battle which it had a far shorter attack range as compared to the Berserker.
Mixed Breathless collapsed and died on the floor after 10 minutes. It then revived using the Light Talisman.
As a matter of fact, the revival skills were also one of the grossest parts in the Epidemic Pond. In The New Age, the only job that could use the revival magic was the Druid; however, the cooldown time was as long as 1 hour. To use the typical revival magic, players needed to be out of battle mode.
Although the battle remained intense despite the concerted efforts made by the crowd to defeat Lei Zhika, the strategy was proven to be much more well-planned. While ensuring that the health points of the MTs were maintained, the crowd raised their game.
Lei Zhika’s health points decreased gradually, and with a snapping sound, they reached 90%!
Weng——
Lei Zhika’s head dangled on his neck as if it had lost its support. A gloomy glow radiated from the surface of his body as he walked towards the Epidemic Pond.
“Bu Yi, dispel!” shouted Lin Jie as his pupils constricted.
Lei Zhika would enter Invincible Mode for 20 seconds when it lost 10% of its health points, and within the time its health points would be restored, and monsters would be created. If the players did not have effective dispel methods, they would die due to exhaustion. In other words, the players had to use the dispel skills – to dispel Lei Zhika’s invincible mode – at least eight times in order to kill Lei Zhika. Whether the players had to use it to dispel the restorative power of Lei Zhika and the attacks from the worms depended on the number of times Lei Zhika struck.
Bu Yi used the dispel skills hurriedly while fireballs, magic, and arrows crashed madly towards Lei Zhika immediately. As a result, Lei Zhika’s health points were further lowered.
By that time, Lei Zhika had walked to the Epidemic Pond. Then, he laughed and jumped into it while saying, “Hypocritical believers, you shall be judged by the Lord of Darkness!”
The yellowish-green pond was filled with bubbles, and a black snake with four limbs jumped out of it!
