Chapter 104: Clearing the Wasteland

Saturday arrived, and as previously agreed, Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan gathered at the gate of the Valley of Fallen with Lin Qianxue and a group of the "Wind and Rain Together" guild, and the four of them plus the twenty people from the Wind and Rain Group were not the only guild to gather at the gate of this dungeon.

As the most difficult dungeon in AO at the moment, the progress of the Valley of the Fallen symbolizes the strength of the guild, so every guild that has the ability to open this dungeon will gather here to try to fight it.

"Hello, I'm the president of the storm, Chenfeng." A seventy-seventh-level assassin stretched out his hand to Xia Chiyu, he was dressed in hideous dark purple leather armor, he was tall, with a hedgehog head on his face, and his expression was stern with a bit of sternness.

"Ah, long up." Xia Chiyu shook hands with him and said, the two of them were of average height, just staring at each other, and the contact of their eyes made a soft sound like a blade.

"To be honest, the funds to hire you so far have been borne by Xiaoxue alone, because I don't believe that one person can bring much change, this game relies on teamwork, cooperation and tacit understanding, not individual heroism." Chen Feng said with a flat face, "However, with her strong recommendation, I am still willing to give you a chance." ”

$(an)(shuba).β€œ Oh? What an arrogant statement. Gu Qinyan sneered beside him.

"You must not be at work, are you? People are bosses, we are employees, so don't put on a posture of being superior. Su Xing said with a wry smile on the side.

"So instead of working for other people, I wrote my own books at home." Gu Qinyan snorted and said.

"Huh!? You're a writer? It's really not your image, I thought you must be a bad teenager or a protection money or something......" Su Xing pouted and muttered quietly.

"What did you say!?" Gu Qinyan let out a low roar, grabbed the awakening and asked.

Lacey took the two people who were playing away, and said with a wry smile: "Please don't behave so childishly in front of so many people, it's a shame." ”

Xia Chiyu was very calm, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I agree with your statement, after all, I personally just give you some strategic support for reference, whether it can be implemented smoothly." It depends on the ability of your team. ”

Lin Qianxue hugged Xia Chiyu's arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are the best team!" ”

"So, you haven't played this week, have you? How about going straight into our progress? Xia Chiyu asked.

This kind of fixed team can be used by many teams at the same time, so the team after entering will have a different progression, so as to avoid two teams appearing in the same dungeon at the same time.

"Why? Have you already defeated a boss? Chen Feng asked with a frown.

"No, we just four of us went in and looked at it and found some patterns for solving the puzzle. But since the boss's HP is twenty people, we didn't fight, and those puzzles are too troublesome, so I'll just let you go into the progress of solving the puzzles. Xia Chiyu said. He waved his hand and motioned for them to follow.

"Puzzle solving? Is there a puzzle solving factor in the Valley of the Fallen? Chen Feng asked a little suspiciously, and glanced at Lin Qianxue. Lin Qianxue raised her chin confidently and smiled: "Since you said so, you just wait for the surprise!" ”

"I can't talk about surprises, because I haven't fought bosses normally, I don't know what the difference is, haven't you already defeated three bosses? Fight again to see the difference, right? Xia Chiyu said with a smile.

"Hmph, then let's knock out the first three first. Start with the old one's puppet knights. Chen Feng said, waving his hand to his teammates behind him and shouting, "Cheer up." If there are outsiders, don't lose my people, do you hear me!? ”

Xia Chiyu and the four of them naturally participated in the boss battle of the old one, with the strength of the four of them. Even if you don't have to go all out, you won't be dragging down those who are helping each other through thick and thin. As for the group of the Wind and Rain Freemasonry, as Chen Feng said, there are only three or four people in their team who are particularly outstanding, but they cooperate well with each other. Take care of each other.

"Beware, the boss's Dragon's Breath Ring is coming!" Tatsufeng frowned and shouted, and the mechanical golem raised its spear. Red points of light gathered from all directions, and then a ring of flames appeared from the side of the mechanical golem, shining with a strong light, as if it was about to explode, and Chenfeng's team immediately began to change formation, several giant shield knights blocked in front, and other team members quickly hid behind the giant shield knights, and those giant shield knights used a certain skill, and the shield emitted light.

"I'm going to use my skill to harden this skill." Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows and said.

Xia Chiyu has also seen the boss strategy, this skill Dragon's Breath Ring, after the boss is used, the player can't get close, the ring of fire that surrounds the boss like a shackle is harmful in the preparation stage, and the damage is particularly high, so the boss's skill is almost impossible to interrupt, and the damage is particularly high.

The usual guild solution is to rely on the Giant Shield Knight to stand in front of you, creating a gap in the flameblast to protect your teammates behind. However, even if it is a giant shield knight with high blood thickness, this move will also hurt a lot of health, and if you don't protect the injured giant shield knight in time after eating this skill, the giant shield knight will die directly.

In the process of this boss battle, the ring of fire will be used at least five times to die, as long as a giant shield knight dies, the safe area in this full-screen flame explosion will be reduced, thus leading to more casualties of team members, and then there is a vicious circle, which can be said to be a team annihilation skill in this boss battle. And this boss is still the simplest one.

The ring of flames emitted a blazing red light, and finally exploded, and a circle of red shockwaves spread around the boss, but at this moment, a strong stream of water suddenly erupted around the puppet knight, forming a circle of water in the center of the circle around the puppet knight. This spherical red shock wave makes contact with the current, "Shh The sound of water being evaporated rang out.

Although the water curtain turned directly into steam, the red shockwave was also much weaker, and it came into contact with everyone's team, but the attack power was very weak, and the giant shield knight at the front only lost more than ten percent of his health.

"This is ......" Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, "What's going on?" In the past, I would have knocked out sixty or seventy percent of my health, but this time I actually ......."

Saying that, Chen Feng turned to Xia Chiyu: "Could it be that you say." That's what that puzzle you said was for? ”

"I said, I haven't hit normally so I don't know, what do you think?" Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said.

"There can be no mistake...... We didn't have that water curtain at all when we fought before, but where did it come from? What exactly did you dismantle? Chen Feng asked with a frown.

"I guess it's the canal over there for the second boss." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said, waving his staff to pull a giant shield knight back, and a large pillar of fire burst out from where the giant shield was standing before.

The first boss was already a boss that had already been fought for Storm Warriors, and now it was weakened by the mechanism, which was really not difficult for them, and soon the puppet knight fell to the ground with a bang under their attack.

"It's not as hard as it seems. Especially if there are enough people. Wake swiped across the screen and put the drops and experience in his bag, "Or is that the hardest copy of AO just that?" ”

"I don't think it's difficult." Gu Qinyan tucked the long sword into his waist, "This kind of Cheng dΓΉ, the four of us should be able to defeat it, right?" Although defeating a boss may be exhausted, you will have to fight one the next day. ”

"It's true, but it's unbearable for people who rush to progress, right?" Xia Chiyu asked.

But it's obviously exciting for the ups and downs.

"Oh! Head. It's not that difficult! "Yes, the ring of dragon's breath is the only group killing skill of this boss, this skill has been weakened, and this boss is completely no threat!" "That's amazing, those four people. How did you find out about this mechanism? "And that mage support is also very powerful, isn't it? No one was seriously injured after the fight! ”

Lin Qianxue seemed particularly happy, and she smiled proudly on the side of Chenfeng: "How is it, Lao Chen, I told you that he is very powerful!" It is said that I have a very accurate eye for men! You don't doubt his ability now, do you?! ”

"Ahem. After all, it's just the boss we've beaten, and we're able to defeat it now without weakening it, just with a slight reduction in difficulty. So it doesn't make much sense. The key is to see the boss we haven't beaten, if they come or can't beat it, then it's pointless, right? Chen Feng frowned and said.

"Yes, that makes sense." Xia Chiyu grinned, "Anyway, let's beat the top three first." ”

The dungeon continued, and as the boss continued, everyone became more and more excited, and more and more people recognized Xia Chiyu's auxiliary abilities. Everyone defeated the first three bosses in one go and came to the fourth boss. No players were seriously injured or killed during this period, and everyone felt that this time it was a very easy game.

This is easy not only because puzzle solving weakens some of the boss's skills, but also because they don't have to be careful about the boss's skills when they are out, and there is always a vine that pulls them away when they are in danger.

In this way, they can rest assured that they can output to their heart's content, and the damage they hit is naturally much higher than usual, and Xia Chiyu's auxiliary magic also brings a high buff to everyone.

Xia Chiyu usually acts as a support when teaming up with multiple people, choosing buff magic according to the boss's attributes, putting the attributes to the maximum range, and at the same time, according to the boss's skills, he chooses to release various auxiliary spells such as the stone armor technique or the acceleration hurricane technique to the player, which makes the players in the team feel that the fight is smoother.

"Master Mage, no matter what the regiment commander says, I will definitely approve of you coming to our regiment as a commander." On the way forward after fighting the boss, a swordsman in the team whispered a smile to Xia Chiyu, and a female player next to him also smiled and echoed: "That's right, I also agree, I have never been so ...... I used to be cautious about being scared of being killed. ”

At this time, Chen Feng said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, cheer up!" I'm about to hit the fourth! ”

This boss is a fat and huge beetle, called "Heart of the Mountain", about ten meters long, the heavy carapace on its back shines with metallic light, and some rock fragments and moss can be faintly seen, which seems to be one with the mountain. Located in this huge cavern, it seems that there was a temple before it, judging from the ruins of the cave.

"The difficulty of this boss is that it usually can't beat blood at all, and its defense is too high." Tatsukaze explained, "The only way to play is to hit the wall with it after it rolls over by name. This will stun the boss. Exposing its belly and attacking it is the only way to make it bleed, and it takes about four or five rounds to kill it. ”

Lin Qianxue continued: "However, although the boss has a preparatory action before the collision, the speed of the collision is too fast, and it will move with the player. ”

"To put it bluntly, the named player must take the boss to hit the wall, but the named player must seize the timing. Otherwise, if you go early, the boss will turn and bump into other players, and if you go late, you will be killed in seconds, right? Xia Chiyu muttered, "But after the mechanism was lifted before, what will change here now......

Saying that, Xia Chiyu turned to Chen Feng: "If you don't mind, let's fight first, if not, run out of this first, in short, we must see what changes the puzzle has brought to this boss." ”

Chen Feng nodded. Commanded: "Then let's fight first to see the skills, everyone pay attention to saving their lives, if it doesn't work, retreat quickly, and run back to the door of the dungeon, the boss should not chase after him." Get ready to go! ”

"Looks like the good thing about following the mixed experience is coming to an end?" Gu Qinyan asked, holding his long sword behind him. Su Xing also grinned: "It seems like this, but I don't think we have any chance to show it today." ”

"But let's be serious, after all, it's not good to follow others, we have all three pieces of equipment." Lacey smiled wryly. At this time, Chen Feng angrily reprimanded: "Don't chat, start the boss!" ”

The team responded, and everyone rushed towards the heart of the mountain. Scattered around it.

However, due to the powerful carapace, everyone's attacks couldn't do much damage at all, and the boss's health dropped very slowly, but the boss's attacks were still fast, and the thick pincers like crabs swept towards the player in front of them. Xia Chiyu swung his staff and released several vines, slightly hindering its attacks, and several players immediately dodged easily.

"Get ready, spawn mobs right away!" Chen Feng shouted, and after a while, the cave shook violently, and a dozen mini-beetles fell from the mountain wall, and then crawled in all directions. Nearby players pounce on the beetles, and when they are all killed, the Heart of the Mountains will go berserk and roll at the player with the most beetles killed.

"Guys stand firm!" Xia Chiyu immediately swung his staff and slammed it on the ground, and a circle of hurricanes spread around him.

Although this hurricane is relatively strong for the players, it is not enough to make them unstable, but those bugs are different, the mini beetles were blown away one after another, rolling backwards and sticking to the mountain wall, and then Xia Chiyu's staff danced in a circle in his hand, and a fire dragon roared and flew out, sticking to the edge of the cave and circling around, killing all those mini beetles.

The Mini-Beetle has very little health, but is very scattered and fast, and is designed to make it inconvenient for the player to kill, and the player who kills the most Mini-Beetle will become less certain.

"So there's still this way! Great! Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way of the command! ”

The Heart of the Mountain roared angrily, curled up its body, spun on the ground, and after accumulating a little strength, it rumbled towards Xia Chiyu. Chen Feng roared beside him: "Get out of the way!" Hit it and die! Who's that!? ”

Chen Feng roared angrily, and Xia Chiyu found Lacey in front of the boss. Immediately, the boss turned into a black iron ball and crashed into him, and Lacey met him with a shield, "Ping! With a crisp sound, under the perfect defense, the boss was shocked and fell backwards, falling on his back to the sky, revealing his tender abdomen.

"Holy? Can it be like this? Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shouted: "Attack, attack!" ”

Everyone immediately turned on their skills and launched a crazy attack, and after the boss took a certain amount of damage, he returned to the first stage, and began to attack nearby enemies with pincers, and then went to the second cycle, and the cycle continued.

"Don't relax, this boss will have an extra skill when his HP drops to fifty percent!" Chen Feng urged on the side, the boss's health dropped to 50%, and suddenly became angry, his body trembled, and the carapace on his body turned dazzling red, Chen Feng turned to Xia Chiyu and said: "At this stage, those beetles will explode when they are attacked. Mini-beetles can no longer be killed the same way they used to. ”

"I know, we've fought this boss before." Xia Chiyu replied, "And at this stage, you can't use perfect defense to knock the boss over, but it's ......"

"Will you still hand over the beetle to you!?" Chen Feng asked while dodging the acid spewed out by the boss, Xia Chiyu nodded: "Yes, after the beetle, everyone just needs to quickly dodge away." ”

"Out, beetle out!" A circle of red beetles tumbled down from the top of the mountain, and there were far more of them than before, and if not handled carefully, the explosion of three mini-beetles could kill a player in an instant. Li Xia Chiyu immediately raised his staff and knocked it on the ground. Lightning flowed down the staff to the ground: "Xudra lightning chain!" ”

"Get out of the way, get out of the way of the beetles!" Tatsukaze shouted, and the players immediately began to disperse.

The electricity was transferred from Xia Chiyu's staff to the ground, divided into nine lanes and swam forward, and after each lightning hit a beetle, it immediately dispersed into nine channels and moved towards the other nine beetles, "Boom! "Boom!" At the same time, the ground of the temple suddenly sounded a few "clicks", and then several pillars of fire rose from below.

"It's ...... Is the mechanism of the old one!? Chen Feng asked with some surprise.

"Not bad. Get out of the way of the pillar of fire. Gu Qinyan frowned and reprimanded, and the players immediately scattered to dodge, while Xia Chiyu simply moved his position and placed the pillar of fire between him and the boss.

Immediately, the boss sped up and crashed into it. Then he hit his head on the pillar of fire, and immediately screamed in pain, fell on all fours, and a burning debuff appeared on his body. Health is continuously reduced, and damage taken is increased by 25%.

"I'll lean on ......," Chen Feng was stunned and hurriedly shouted. Hurry up, all the skills are open, all open! ”

After a few bombardments, the boss's health was quickly reduced to 20%.

"Attention, it's berserk." Xia Chiyu reminded that all the newly brushed mini-explosive beetles on the field were cleaned up: "Everyone stands in the midfield, including melee." Knights and swordsmen throw their sword qi from a distance, hurry up! ”

At this time, the boss quickly piled up his body into a ball and crashed into Xia Chiyu, while Xia Chiyu summoned a hurricane eagle to retreat to the edge of the cave, and the players got out of the way between the boss and Xia Chiyu, and then the boss rushed towards Xia Chiyu like a cannonball, and Xia Chiyu dodged with the limit of reaction time.

"Boom!" With a bang, the boss smashed into the fire-breathing pillar and slammed into the mountain wall, knocking down a large amount of rubble, but it was not shaken over, but roared and turned around, and continued to chase Xia Chiyu.

Xia Chiyu controlled the Gale Eagle to accelerate and rush forward, and then took the boss to turn in a circle in the cave, while the players stood in the central area and threw long-range flying props at the boss. However, the boss's rolling was extremely fast, and he soon caught up with Xia Chiyu, hitting him headlong and disappearing into the wall with the Gale Eagle, but Xia Chiyu had already appeared at the other end of the field.

Heart of the Mountains "Tsk! He screamed a few times, adjusted his direction, and continued to rush towards Xia Chiyu.

"Hmph, idiot, keep chasing." Xia Chiyu sneered, raised his hand to open the mental force field in advance, and after the boss collided with him, he was directly shocked away, and after the boss chased him for a while, he began to slow down.

After a while, a vertiginous circle and stars appeared above the heart of the mountain, and he fell to the ground and struggled violently, revealing his tender abdomen, and his six short legs twitched wildly, while the players launched a final round of attacks, and the boss's health continued to shrink, 10%, 9%......

"Keep fighting, keep fighting! If you don't kill it this time, you will be destroyed! I've run out of skills! Xia Chiyu urged, the players who were working together through thick and thin fought hard, and the boss's health had reached 5%, 4%, and 3%......

"It's over!" Chen Feng roared excitedly, although the boss had begun to get up, its remaining HP was too small, even with a damage reduction of up to 90%, its health was still reduced to zero.

A flash of golden light appeared, and a large line of announcements floated out of the world server that "XX players have defeated the boss of the Valley of the Fallen 'Heart of the Mountains'".

"I'm ...... It's ...... once," Chen Feng muttered to himself.

"It's not counting, we've tried ......it several times before," Xia Chiyu said calmly, but then the players who were in the wind and rain had already rushed towards him...... (To be continued......)
