Chapter 65: Missteps
With the Nebula Sword taking the place of the hung assassin and luring the zombie boss out of the cave, the final battle finally begins.
This zombie boss does not have the bad problem of the previous Monkey King boss hatred random chaos, so everyone can also rest assured and boldly follow the normal process to carry out the strategy. Shield Evergreen Wood took the lead in a charge to catch the shield to resist the boss, and then switched to a firm stance to stand on his heels. Seeing that the second shield strike of the shield battle stabilized the hatred, Xinghe gave an order, and everyone immediately started to output according to the negotiated formation.
As the information provided by Xinglan's promise, before the blood volume drops to seventy-five percent, the boss's action mode is relatively single, although the attributes of the boss in hell mode have reached a very amazing level, but the shield combat equipment and technology in the team are reliable enough, and there are three divine warriors such as Orange Fruit and Xinghe by his side, it is not difficult to deal with it, and everyone outside the shield battle basically only needs to pay attention to the release of the boss's two skills.
Both Action Skills have varying degrees of forward swing, which is not difficult for the Hall of Stars team members who have already been wiped out several times on this boss, and even more so for Rococo. The output in her hand and the dodge in her position have not been relaxed, but in fact, most of the archer girl's attention is not on the battle, and since the boss appeared, she has been looking at the zombie boss in this hell mode very seriously.
Unlike the normal zombie monsters that roam in some wild areas, this zombie boss has obvious characteristics - wearing armor, holding a long sword, and wearing a helmet on his head, it is obvious that this person is most likely a soldier before being transformed into an undead creature after death, and although the conclusion needs to be taken closer to see clearly, but from the appearance of the armor equipment, this person is likely to be a regular army belonging to the Lancarros County Army, and the zombie does not have the intelligence to wear armor, that is to say, this person was definitely in the army before he died.
This discovery is very intriguing, yes, in the undead invasion that Rococo knew, there were indeed many regular army soldiers and zombies in Bekaz's army of the undead, but the problem was that at that time, the undead plague had already broken out in various places, and those military zombies were later unanimously considered to be poor people who fought and died in various parts of Lancarlos County during the undead invasion.
But now, the invasion of the undead has not yet begun, and all parts of Lancarlos County have only heard of the spread of plague among the towns, at best, there may be news that the local army or militia have died because of the plague or undead, but there has never been information that the regular army is infected with the plague on a large scale or is at war with the undead, so where did this zombie boss with the appearance of a soldier in front of him come from?
"Arya, is there any information about the valley near Gru Village where the zombie army may be hiding, does it explain the types of zombies hiding there?"
"Well, no, I can check it again, but I don't think there's much hope. After all, the information that Sister Mira left for you was recorded in the player forums of the previous life, and players are usually not very interested in these main stories that have nothing to do with the mission and are outdated."
"That's right...... But in any case, this time it really didn't come in vain, but I can't say that I really have to help the Star Hall Guild take this first pass."
"Huh?"
The natural system (creation) system (world) spirit (female) spirit (god) could not understand what Rococo meant, and Rococo did not have the interest to explain it now. Her ultimate goal is to interfere with Bekaz's plan to uncover the undead invasion in advance, and the best evidence is naturally the undead legion that is likely to be hiding in the nearby valley based on past life data.
As for the zombie boss in the dungeon, it was originally just a primer for Rococo to tell the high-level NPCs in Lancarlos City and induce them to investigate the valley. And now, as long as she can assist the Hall of Stars Guild to kill this zombie boss, and bring back the equipment and weapons on its body that are suspected to be the regular army configuration and hand them over to the Lancarros City Lord's Mansion, even if the matter related to the plague undead is aside, the City Lord of Lancarlos will take action to investigate why these regular army equipment appeared on a zombie.
You must know that due to the complex political situation within the Free Federation, the management of the military activities of the regular army forces under the jurisdiction of each county is extremely strict and careful, and it is especially taboo to avoid the unwarranted outflow of people and equipment with the symbol of the regular army, which is likely to lead to the hidden danger of diplomatic disputes between counties. The regular army of Lancarlos County has experienced battles in recent years, and it is better to say that it is a combat exercise to eliminate bandits, and the combat attrition is only a handful, and all of them are recorded.
Just when Rococo was thinking about these things, the zombie boss on the other side was finally successfully beaten by the team to the point where his blood volume was close to 75%.
"The boss is about to start turning! Except for the shield battle, everyone withdraws! Wood lifts the sticking posture and pays attention to the card position! Shenwei is ready for emergencies! Keep an eye on the auxiliary card slot and the healing! ”
With the command of the promise, the Xingao Demon Sword and the Xingyun Yi Sword, which had no ability to regenerate blood, quickly began to retreat, and then, I saw the zombie boss let out an ugly roar, and then waved the steel knife in his hand and began to spin.
Bang Bang!!
The steel knife struck the two-handed shield in Evergreen Wood's hand, making a burst of metal collision sounds, Evergreen Wood gritted his teeth and did not move, and strictly followed the instructions of Xinglan in the back row to stop the rotating boss in the straight line direction of the three people in the back row, at the same time, the blood reduction rate above his head also suddenly doubled, and the amount of blood that was originally in the treatment of Orange Fruit began to decrease below the half-blood cordon at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Young master, add blood to the wood! Go to the left side of the auxiliary card slot! ”
Xinghe's young master's temper is obviously also able to distinguish the occasion, and he didn't have any words for Xing Lannuo's somewhat unceremonious command, and he directly started to put a quick self-healing on the evergreen wood, and on the other side, another on-call Shenwei warrior also put a quick self-healing on himself at the same time, and after holding the small one-handed shield of the off-hand, he hard-topped the boss's rotation from the left side and impacted it.
Although the Divine Guard Samurai is also a shield-wielding class, the defense provided by the one-handed shield of the deputy is limited after all, and soon the Divine Guard Samurai who assists the card position will not be able to hold on, under the command of Xinglan Promise, another Divine Guard Samurai rushed up to replace his companion, and at the same time, the Xingao Demon Knife is also ready, in the worst case, although he is a berserker, he can only go up hard to avoid the boss shaking the shield battle and going straight to the back row.
Fortunately, just when the second Shenwei warrior was almost unable to hold on, the boss finally gave up to the left and began to move towards the right side of the evergreen wood, and Xinghe, who had already prepared, immediately handed over the task of assisting in healing to the two who had retreated, and took the shield himself.
The boss's rotation has reached the end of the crossbow, and when the galaxy's HP is still about half, the boss has stopped and resumed its original action mode.
The skill of 75% of the HP in the first stage has exploded!
Everyone's hearts were relieved, and then it was tight, and the next time it was the weak epidemic virus that had been exterminating them, whether they could win the first pass or not, it would be up to them to survive this hurdle.
The strategy was proceeding smoothly, and seeing that the boss's HP was about to drop by sixty percent, Xinglan Promise also deliberately slowed down everyone's output, and began to let the three Shenwei warriors who had previously lost their HP begin to make up for themselves.
Soon, at the moment when the boss's HP fell to fifty percent, Xinglan Promise shouted.
The three Divine Guardians withdrew, and went all out to add blood to the wood. Orange Fruit put a part of the healing task for the Divine Guard to output as much light arrows as possible, and by the way, baptized me and Rococo with the baptism of sin to wash away the hatred. The magic knife is ready to go in at any time to replace the wood, and the sword is free to move around and produce output as much as possible, but be careful to be hung up. Rococo, the two of us are all out! ”
However, to Xinglan's surprise, after hearing his command, Rococo's first reaction was not to use a charged shot, but to activate her elemental skill to summon the water elemental.
Huh? Is this girl stupid? The output of the water element is not high, it is just a positioning controlled by a meat shield, and it is also a melee unit, why does the boss in the plague poison mode summon it?
Xinglan Promise and Orange Fruit were a little puzzled, but it seemed that Rococo also knew that he had done something wrong, although his face was expressionless, but he didn't let the water element rush to the boss to join the output at close range but just put it aside, and then this started the full fire mode.
The strong output skill of the longbowman in the early stage is only charged shooting, and it relies more on equipment and increasing the frequency of shooting to control the output amplitude, Rococo took out the flat projectile switching technique that he used in the previous battle with Blackfire, and began to attack the zombie boss with all his might. Although I don't know why Rococo summoned such a useless water elemental in the first place, now is not the time to question, and Xinglan Promise and Orange Fruit also immediately began to step up their output.
Weak Plague Poison is worthy of the skill that has made the Star Hall sink in the sand, and the shield battle evergreen wood whose offensive and defensive attributes have been weakened by the Plague Poison buff Even if there are three Divine Guard Warriors and Orange Fruit distracted to take care of the HP, under the effect of the boss's attack and toxin damage, the HP is completely unable to maintain stability as before. The three of them in the back row only reduced the boss's blood to 46%, and the evergreen wood used up the instantaneous recovery potion on his body, and the blood volume was also reduced to the warning line.
In desperation, Xinglan promised to let Orange Fruit use the baptism of sin to reduce the hatred value on the evergreen wood and make him retreat, and at the same time, the Xingao Demon Knife rushed into the range of the plague poison and exploded a set of skills against the boss, successfully taking over the hatred.
But the Xingao Demon Knife is a mad battle after all, not a shield battle, although the blood lineup is very strong, but the blood volume of the Xingao Demon Knife is more powerful than the previous evergreen wood, and the boss's blood volume has just dropped by a little more than two percent, and the Xingao Demon Knife is a little unbearable.
"Damn......" Xinglan Promise turned his head to look at the evergreen wood that had only recovered to half blood after drinking the slow recovery potion on the side, and now it was only now restored to half-blood, "The output of the Divine Guard Warrior is too low, and it is a little difficult to convert hatred...... Did you miscalculate......"
On the other side, the Xingao Demon Knife obviously also thought that if he withdrew, it would be difficult for the three Divine Guard Warriors to make a set of outbursts to take over the hatred like Zhiji had just done, gritting his teeth, and he was about to carry it until he hung up, when Xinghe stood up.
"Stand down with the magic knife, I'll come!"
If it is the best equipped galaxy among the three god guard warriors, maybe it can stabilize the hatred, the magic knife thought of this, and immediately moved his spirit to prepare to retreat, and at the same time, the galaxy also stepped forward, ready to use the elemental skills at the bottom of the box.
However, at this moment, the blade of the sword that the boss was swinging hard was suddenly raised high by it.
"Hide!!" ”
Rococo, who was the first to realize what this action meant in the distance, and Xinglan Promise spoke at the same time, but after all, the Xingao Magic Knife did not have the reaction speed of Rococo, and because of the mental relaxation caused by the consideration of stepping back and giving way a moment ago, although the Xingao Magic Knife noticed that the boss started to swing forward under the reminder of the two, the rolling command was a step slower.
Sword Qi Slash!
