Chapter 149: A Difficult Attempt
Fortunately, since Xia Chiyu and the four of them wiped out all the people of the Red Name Guild, it seems that they have become a little famous among the Red Name Guild, and they have had a holiday with the Fire Demon Yang Zhilong before and defeated them, so they were not ambushed by some people with ulterior motives when they gathered at the door of the dungeon after that. ∠,→x.
"Come, let's go through the back door with us, it's closer. It's a little walk away. Xia Chiyu said, leading everyone across the dry riverbed to the broken shack on the opposite side, walking up the shack, and after crossing the single-plank bridge, there was the back door of the Karazan Tower.
"Oh...... It's so convenient, I didn't even know there was a path here. Chen Feng said in surprise.
"We came in from here last time, but I heard that the fish seems to have to beat the first four bosses here before the door opens. And there's a hidden boss here, called Nightmare. Lin Qianxue explained.
"That one is probably going to take some missions before it can be started, anyway, let's continue along the curator's route first, maybe Karazhan will have a summoning mission about Nightmare later." Xia Chiyu replied.
Everyone answered, entered the book through the back door, and then entered the copy through the back door, to the exhibition hall where the curator was before, and down the stairs in front of them, to a place that resembled a reading room in a library.
"I don't know what you think, but the thought of everyone playing in the same Internet café gives me a special sense of relief." Liu Yiyu said with a low smile.
"Yes, especially when I think of eating fish, it's on the side......" Zhang Zinuo looked at Xia Chiyu and smiled, his expression gentle.
"Well, although I'm glad you said that, I feel like we've been playing the game together more than once," Xia Chiyu replied with a wry smile...... "Anyway, let's go see the next boss first." ”
Descending the ramp of the exhibition room, there are bookshelves scattered along the walls of the exhibition room. But in the reading room hall below, there were a large number of mana nemesis, seven or eight in groups, the appearance of a white tadpole-like creature like the mana hunter, about four or five groups, and there were also two groups of two leader-level door gods in front of the door of the exhibition hall, staying in the area by the wall.
"Look, there's a couple of friendly NPCs up there." Xia Chiyu pointed to the bookshelves against the wall at the front and said.
Below that row of bookshelves was a row of tables filled with all sorts of practical equipment, and the NPCs with witch hats were studying something at the table, with a golden exclamation mark above their heads. Tasks are displayed.
"Sure enough...... Let's go, buff up, everyone is ready to clear a wave of monsters first. Tatsukaze commanded.
Xia Chiyu began to give everyone a good buff, and then started the battle. Mana Busters are magically immune, but they don't have any special skills, and they can be easily killed if they don't have a class, but the door gods are still somewhat threatening, and they, like the Curator, will go berserk in the last bit of health, and the damage is extremely high. Several times he almost killed their Giant Shield Knight in an instant.
However, in the end, they still came to the NPC under the corner of the wall and talked to the NPC.
"Sure enough, it's Nightnight's mission." Xia Chiyu muttered, "Look. The task is for us to go to the Juggernaut's Terrace to flip through the book. Isn't the Juggernaut's Terrace the same place we saw Medivan kill the blue dragon before? ”
"Really? Let's go back and have a look, maybe there's a follow-up to this mission. Lin Qianxue said, so everyone turned around and walked back to the balcony where they had walked down the same road they had bypassed from the kitchen area earlier. I watched Medivan kill the hapless blue dragon again.
"Mission accomplished...... Wouldn't it be that simple? Su Xing asked incredulously.
"Obviously it's not going to be that simple." Xia Chiyu said lightly, "Didn't you see that this mission is not a reward for your summons?" But for sure, the follow-up to this quest should be more than just us summoning Nightmares. ”
"You mean. Will there be an additional Kill Mission reward? Gu Qinyan crossed his arms and asked, Xia Chiyu shrugged: "I'm not sure, but since it's not like repeating a few simple dialogue missions to summon the boss, I think it must be designed as a task chain, and the end of this task chain should be a kill mission." ”
Speaking of this, Xia Chiyu slapped away Reis, who was going to read the books on the shelf, and reprimanded sternly: "Don't touch the books here, the NPC we talked to just now, didn't you pay attention to what he said!?" ”
"Well, did he say anything important?" Lacey touched the place where his hand was hit and asked innocently.
However, judging from the expressions of the other members of the group, it seems that except for Xia Chiyu, everyone else doesn't know why they can't read.
"This guy is an agent sent in by a magician organization outside to investigate Karazan, but ......" Xia Chiyu pointed to the mage named "Lavion" who was looking at the book seriously on the side and said, "Look, he is translucent now, right?" She's dead, because he's been obsessed with the magic of books for too long. So this book will definitely give you something debuff. ”
"I don't believe it! Can you still be right every time!? Su Xing said angrily, then picked up a book and flipped through it, and then a debuff appeared on him.
The name of this debuff is "You're mesmerized by the magical knowledge of Karazanri!" The effect is that you will be immobilized for twenty minutes.
Moreover, if this debuff is not removed after 20 minutes, it will continue to be trapped in place and have an additional "Ghost 10%" debuff on its body, which will stack to 10 stacks and die directly. The description of the debuff is that you must find an item in the quest to help him remove it in order to restore it, but it is not known where this item is.
Xia Chiyu ignored the awakening and turned to everyone: "Okay, let's continue." ”
Everyone nodded, left their awakenings, and walked up the slope in front of them. Awakening, on the other hand, is a person standing by a bookshelf, unable to move or do anything.
"That...... Is it really okay if we don't go to save Ah Xing? Zhang Zinuo looked at the standing and motionless Su Xing behind him a little unbearably and asked, since Su Xing was still in the battle area at this time, and he couldn't use the chat program, even if he was forced offline, Xia Chiyu and the others were still in the game, so they still couldn't communicate with each other.
"I'm not going, I'm going to you." Xia Chiyu said with a flat face.
But having said that, Xia Chiyu still removed the location of the item that removed the debuff. Then it is up to Pepe to go back and wake up from "You are mesmerized by the magical knowledge of Karazanri!" debuff.
"Oh, I'm so full tonight......" Su Xing smiled a little embarrassedly, but Xia Chiyu directly ignored him and said to everyone: "Let's go, let's move on." ”
From this slope, there was a spiral staircase, and there were a few scattered mobs on the way, and they cleared it all the way to a very strange study. Like many of the rooms on the upper floor, the study is designed as a pavilion in the sky, connected to the floor by a staircase. The study was a circular structure, surrounded by bookcases on all sides, and an old man stood inside.
"Shadow of Elam...... This is Medivan's father. Xia Chiyu groaned.
"Huh? How do you know? Liu Yiyu asked curiously on the side, looking at the old man inside and said in surprise: "Is Medivan's father called Elan's Shadow?" However, he is so powerful, can he single out a dragon, can we beat his father? ”
"His father's name is Elan." Xia Chiyu looked at Liu Yiyu and said with a calm expression, "This is probably his shadow." ”
Liu Yiyu's face suddenly turned red. Embarrassed to say, "I'm sorry! My mind didn't turn a corner at once! ”
"It's fine." Xia Chiyu patted Liu Yiyu's head with a smile, "In short, this is his father's shadow, I think it should be very powerful." Let's try it a few times, let's see what skills this boss has first. ”
Everyone responded, and they started a new round of battle full of fighting spirit, ready to take another kill. But...... Instead, two hours of death came in, and the boss's health never even dropped below fifty percent.
"Holy! Why is this boss so difficult! Lin Qianxue said a little hysterically.
Xia Chiyu sighed and lit a bonfire outside the study. Everyone sits down and eats the meal to remove the debuff.
"Well, that's basically the case now." Xia Chiyu began to explain, "First of all, this boss has some small skills, which can be used to defend and interrupt by certain means. It's basically fireball, arcane missiles, and ice arrows. ”
"The trouble is, since this guy is a mage, the damage of these small skills is also quite high. It will also have effects such as ignition and slowdown, so we have to interrupt his spells as much as possible, and use some of your control skills, although you can't control him, but you can interrupt his spell casting......"
"Then, the main one is here, this guy will also have some powerful skills, divided into three combinations, which are the three skills of frost, arcane and fire, among which the easiest to deal with should be the arcane department."
"The arcane system will slow down the player, and then release a full-screen arcane explosion, this skill can be dodged as long as it is close to the wall, this range I tested just now, just against the wall will not be blown up. However, this skill has extremely high damage, and if it is blown up, it will directly drop below 20% health. ”
"Second, although the ice system is troublesome, the damage is not high. Blizzard, this one will circulate clockwise around the study, and it will slow down after being drenched, and it will be directly empty in about five seconds. This is not a hassle, even if you win, you can run out, but the player has to run around the field, which slows down the output. ”
"The last one is the fire type, and this one is the most troublesome. Circle of fire, randomly name three players in the ring of fire, in the range of five yards to eight yards, if there are players, any crossing, whether in or out of this ring of fire, will lead to an explosion, causing extremely high damage and will be aoe each other, if someone does not react at the time, then it will definitely be triggered. ”
"And the damage of this ring of fire is quite high, as long as there are more than two people who trigger the ring of fire, then the people near the ring of fire are basically declared dead." Xia Chiyu said sternly, "Then, according to my observations at present, these three powerful skills will be used every thirty to thirty-five seconds or so. Let's talk about the solution. ”
Saying that, Xia Chiyu drew a timeline in front of him with a light spell: "Then, the arcane system and the ice system, I won't say anything, this is quite easy to deal with, I believe that every profession has acceleration skills, the key is the fire circle." ”
"Since these three powerful skills are released completely randomly, which means that there is no foresight, then we have to treat them as a ring of fire. That is. Every time you perform a powerful skill, everyone stands still and doesn't move. Because it doesn't matter if you get hit during a blizzard, you have no time to run out, and the same goes for Arcane. ”
Everyone responded, and Xia Chiyu immediately replied: "Then, let's try again." ”
Unfortunately, they died and came back to life for more than an hour, and although they knocked down the boss with 50% of their health, they were still too far from the boss in the end. Although the entire boss fight took place in this small study that was as small as sixty yards in diameter, it was far more complicated than expected.
"I'm cǎo. Why is this boss so difficult! Su Xing couldn't help but scold, and Gu Qinyan also frowned: "It's indeed far more difficult than any previous boss, it seems that many guilds will be stuck on this boss." ”
"Indeed, I took a look at the leaderboard, and no guild has successfully killed this boss yet." Lacey checked the kill rankings and replied, "Obviously, some foreign service guilds have been in the wilderness for seven or eight hours......
Chen Feng looked at Xia Chiyu with some embarrassment and asked, "Lord Commander, have you found anything?" ”
Xia Chiyu sighed and said distressedly: "The current new discovery is. When the boss's mana drops to 20 percent, he will turn all of us into sheep and create a set of magic water to sit in front of us and drink to restore mana. When his mana is full, he will directly deal unavoidable AOE damage to everyone on the scene. ”
"Good thing. After turning into a sheep, each player will automatically regenerate health until they reach full health. AOE damage only knocks out about a quarter of the player's health, so we may be able to use this skill to restore health. ”
"Another tricky skill, after the boss's health drops below forty percent, Elam will summon four water elementals. These water elements can be controlled. With about 10,000 health, it will continuously release ice arrows at the player, slowing it down. ”
"This skill and its troubles. And what I found the most difficult thing is that this mutant and water elemental, with our current kill speed, are basically triggered at the same time. Because when we hit his HP to 40%, the boss's blue was just about 20% left. ”
"In other words, it is very likely that when the water element appears, we will be turned into sheep at the same time. And this boss's mutature will not be woken up by the water element, so it is likely that someone has been beaten by the water element when he was a sheep, so the blood is not satisfied, and he is hit by the boss's aoe, which leads to Feiyang just now and was almost killed in seconds. ”
Xia Chiyu sighed when he said this: "At present, the best way is to deliberately slow down our output. Because after hitting his health to less than 40% first, he will guide the water element on the field, and the boss will continue to attack after the water element, which means that his mana will be reduced to less than 20% sooner or later. If we hadn't killed the four water elementals on the field at that time, then there would still be a situation where we would have faced both the sheep and the water elementals at the same time. ”
"However, I heard that this boss will be berserk when the time comes......" Lin Qianxue said with some hesitation.
"Indeed, just now there was a Shadow of Elan that seemed to have gone berserk, and the audience summoned four Shadows of Elan to release spells constantly, and it was impossible to pass the boss at that stage." Xia Chiyu nodded and said, "So, we can only accurate the loop of this boss to the second." But to be honest, I'm not confident that I'll be able to be that accurate......"
"Damn...... This boss is indeed too difficult, and it seems unrealistic not to reduce the number of people in this boss. Chen Feng said with some embarrassment, he hesitated for a while, then turned to the crowd and asked, "Let me ask you, do you think it's worth it to pass this boss and possibly lead to the death of the character?" ”
"This ......" Some people hesitated, but others replied firmly: "It's worth it!" As long as you can win the next world first kill, such a trivial matter as the death of a character is nothing! ”
"Good!" Chen Feng nodded vigorously and turned to Xia Chiyu, "Lord Commander, you don't have to worry. ”
"No......" Xia Chiyu shook his head, "I think there is another way." This water element can actually be controlled, the health is not too much, and the attack is not particularly high, so one person should be enough to kill them. As long as we can kill these four water elementals before the boss's blue reaches 20%, then we will have a lot less pressure. ”
Chen Feng frowned and said, "However, just sounding difficult, after all, each water element has ten thousand blood." ”
"That can't be helped. Because ......," Xia Chiyu said sternly, "I'm afraid this guy will return to blue more than once, first, when the water element is released, the boss's powerful skills will still be released, which must be noted." ”
"Second, because the boss is all spell attacks, it must drink water more than once, and if we hit the water element too slowly, the boss's mana will drop to twenty percent for the second time. Then he will definitely drink water again, so that the strategy of letting the boss first turn into a sheep and then come out of the water elemental stage is meaningless. ”
"To sum up, the best solution is undoubtedly to let the boss get out of the water element first, and then kill the water element as much as possible, so that the boss can enter the stage of turning into a sheep. In this way, not only can you reduce the risk of the boss going berserk and drinking water a second time, but the most important thing is to be able to use the boss's transformation into a sheep to make your own health recharge, without wasting the health recovery effect of the transformation phase. ”
"That's right! I couldn't have thought of it! "It means that we can completely exchange our health for these four water elementals." Then directly rely on the boss's sheep to fill our health back and forth! ”
"Yes, and to do that, a few of us can do it." Xia Chiyu said, pointing to wake up. "Awakening who can sacrifice health in exchange for a massive increase in attack power," and then pointed at Lacey, "Resis who increases his attack power in exchange for 100% perfect defense at the cost of health." Finally, he pointed to Gu Qinyan, "And your berserker." ”
"Hmph, so the tactics are obvious." Gu Qinyan hugged his arms and snorted.
"Not bad." Xia Chiyu nodded, a terrifying light flashed in his eyes, "The fourth water element is handed over to me, and I also have the means to exchange my health for attack power, I believe that it is completely fine to defeat these four water elements." ”
"The tactic in this way is that everyone will use up all the big skills at the beginning, and try their best to beat the boss's health to less than 40%, and the boss's 40% HP will summon the water elemental, and in the case of going berserk after fifteen minutes, 30% and 20% of the HP will not trigger the new phase."
"So, try to beat the boss to below 40% of the water element, the four of us kill it quickly, and then continue to consume with the boss, so that his mana value will drop to less than 20%, and the whole group will turn into sheep and return to blood, and then kill the boss with all our might. If we can hit this perfect timeline, we're sure to be able to kill it. Xia Chiyu clenched his fists and said.
"Yes!" Everyone responded, and their eyes flashed with hope. Of course, the hope is all gathered on Xia Chiyu's four people, and being able to pass this boss depends on whether they can quickly kill the four water elements.
"Alright, let's rebuff it and fight again!" Xia Chiyu said with a lot of fighting spirit, and everyone was also driven by him, and responded passionately and entered the room in front of him.
Everyone started a new round of attempts, and since they had played more than ten times tonight, everyone was already quite familiar with the previous stage, and there was hardly any difference.
"Feifei, Xiaoyu, don't move!" Xia Chiyu said, waved his staff, and summoned a circle of vines to entangle Li Feifei, Liu Yiyu and Zhang Zinuo, who were enveloped in the ring of fire, to prevent them from moving.
"Hmm...... Thank you, eat the fish, and almost ...... subconsciously," Lin Qianxue said with a long sigh of relief.
"It's okay, come on, it's about to enter the forty percent blood stage, get ready!" Xia Chiyu said, waving his staff and throwing more than a dozen light feather arrows at the boss, and the battle continued.
Soon, the boss's health entered forty percent, and four water elementals appeared from the four corners of the study.
"Deal with the one closest to you! The others continue to interrupt the boss casting, and they can hide whatever skill they want, pay attention, I can't help you with the flame wreath now! Xia Chiyu said, the staff slashed down, "The end of the Seraph!" (To be continued......)
