Chapter 152: The Boss at the End
In front of everyone was a huge chess board with chess pieces on both sides. It's just that the chess pieces are all made up of lifelike monsters, with human chess pieces on one side and hideous orc chess pieces on the other. The number of pieces is the same as that of chess, sixteen each, and the board consists of sixty-four black and white squares.
"This boss looks interesting...... Xia Chiyu said with interest, "Is it for us to play chess?" β
"It feels like that." Su Xing looked around and said, "There is no one else here." β
As they spoke, the shadow of Medivan they had seen before appeared in front of them, named "Echo of Medivan", with a dialogue sign above their heads, indicating that they could talk to him.
Xia Chiyu chose to talk to him, and Medivan echoed: "If you want to cross my hall, you must use your superb chess skills to defeat me!" When you're ready, go and control your king. β
"In that case, let's give it a try. If you just play chess, you won't die even if you lose. Xia Chiyu smiled, "This chessboard seems to be a person controlling a monster, but ......"
Xia Chiyu talked to the chess pieces on the field one by one, but although the chess pieces turned to him, there was no option to control him, and it was not until he came to the "King of Lane" that the option of "King Control to start the game" appeared.
"It seems that you have to control the king before you can start the game, and then you can control the other chess pieces." Xia Chiyu replied that he could basically know what the chess pieces represented from the appearance and position of the chess pieces on the field. Next to the king and queen stood two priests, then two war horses, and on the far side were two water elementals.
In front, eight human infantry stood. The orc camp on the opposite side is much the same. It's just that the appearance of the monster is different, the human sacrifice has become an orc sacrifice, the war horse has become a wolf warrior, and the water element has become a demon.
"Let's choose the human side, and we're ready to get started." Xia Chiyu said. Chose the king of the control zhì.
Other people who knew a little bit about chess also stepped forward and each chose a chess piece to control zhì. However, it doesn't hurt that you don't know anything about chess, and when you get into the perspective of the pieces, you can see the routes that the pieces can take.
"Can you tell me what skills each piece has?" Xia Chiyu replied, "I, the king, will slash at a group of damage, and then I will also use a single strike skill. β
"I, the human summoner, am ranged. You can attack while standing still, but you can only attack enemies within the first three blocks. Zhang Zinuo replied, "One is to attack the enemy on one route, and the other is to attack the enemy in several grids. β
"I'm a bishop, and I have a single attack skill. It can attack enemies within three squares, and there is also a health skill. Lin Qianxue, who was accused of the sacrifice, replied, and Li Feifei, who accused the other sacrifice, said: "Me too!" β
"Anyway, why are there all kinds of uncles here, even the queen is an uncle......," Su Xing pouted and said, "Also, what the hell is this, this platoon of minions will only block with melee attacks and damage reduction shields!" β
"How many soldiers do you want any other skills?" Gu Qinyan asked angrily. Together with Reis, he took another soldier.
"War Horse has a three-square-block splitting skill in front of the attack." The wind and the rain and tide replied on the side.
"Water is a ranged attack skill that can hit an enemy within three blocks." An Ran, who controlled the two water elements, replied, and Liu Yiyu, who controlled the water element, pointed to the chess pieces opposite and asked in surprise: "Hey! You see. Why did all the chess pieces on the opposite side start moving! That's a bit wrong, isn't it!? β
"Really...... I see. Xia Chiyu suddenly said, "Hurry up, the row of soldiers in front of you will go forward first!" β
It's not a one-person move like regular chess, but everyone can move at the same time, but there is a five-second cooldown for moving this skill. When Reis and the others took a step forward with the soldiers at the front, they got out of the way.
"Good. Then the two horses walked forward, and then the sacrifice stepped aside. Get out of the way! Xia Chiyu said, and Lin Qianxue, who was holding the sacrifice on the side, moved away from Xia Chiyu's side. Xia Chiyu immediately took control of the king, took a step to the side, and continued to command the others, "The two water elements will get out of the way later, and then move closer to the midfield." β
The soldiers took another step forward at this time, and the orc soldiers on the opposite side also took a step forward, and the soldiers on both sides had already made contact at this time and began to slash at each other. Xia Chiyu noticed that in addition to using skills, the chess pieces themselves would also continue to launch ordinary attacks on the chess pieces in front of them, with low damage but persistent damage.
"Okay, the king will come forward below, and the two sacrifices will follow behind the king, so that they can be added to me." Xia Chiyu said to the two people behind him who were controlling the sacrifice, "The water element and the queen don't go forward, just hit the enemy!" β
The orc soldiers on the opposite side do not have the shield block that reduces the damage taken by the human soldiers by 40% in five seconds, but there is a corresponding skill that increases their damage by 40% in five seconds, so basically the HP of the soldiers on both sides is about the same, but in the end, the soldiers on the opposite side only died, and the soldiers on their side died five.
"Tsk, okay, it's none of my business." Gu Qinyan said, standing aside and observing the chess game.
Since there were only sixteen pieces on one side of the field, and there were twenty-five of them, the others could only watch.
Soon, Xia Chiyu manipulated the king to the center of the field, and the three orc soldiers on the opposite side immediately surrounded him.
"Add my blood, you don't have to be too greedy." Xia Chiyu instructed Lin Qianxue and Li Feifei behind him, and then began to pick up the three orc soldiers in front of him with a smooth breath. The king's skill damage was not low, and with a fairly high level of normal attack damage, he quickly killed an orc soldier in front of him.
At this time, the king's road on both sides had been cleared, and then the chief on the opposite side took a step forward and began to walk towards Xia Chiyukong's king, and the other chess pieces were also approaching.
And while they manipulate the chess pieces to fight, Medivan's echo is that of a godly whisper: "Ah, the wheel of war has begun to turn...... It was perfect! Look at...... If you make a mistake, you will lose the whole game! "After such a long time of nagging, the form on the field is very good. The chess pieces on Xia Chiyu's side were almost all full of blood, while Medivan's chess pieces were several dead.
"It's time for something to change...... Mai Diwen's echo said suddenly, and then a large flame suddenly appeared under the feet of Xia Chi Yukong's king on the field, and flames also appeared under the feet of several other people.
"Damn, cheating!" Chen Feng shouted angrily. Su Xing pointed to Medivan's echo and shouted, "It's so shameless! β
As soon as this flame came out, the field suddenly became chaotic, because many people had just used the movement skill, and now they were unable to move, or they were surrounded by allies and enemies and could not move for a while, except for the king. The other chess pieces were basically burned to death by the flames in a few seconds, especially Li Feifei's control of the zhì was still a blood-adding profession such as sacrifice.
Soon, Xia Chiyu's king lost too much blood, and there was not enough sacrificial blood, which led to the collapse of the group.
But. Fortunately, after the game was over, no players died. Medivan's echo smirked, "Why don't you play another game of chess...... and then all the pieces on the field disappeared, and they returned to the door of the room.
"This guy...... Alas, it's also that I'm too naΓ―ve, and it's not strange that the other party cheats or anything in this setting. Xia Chiyu hammered the palm of his left hand with some unhappiness and said, but he looked quite excited, looking eager to try: "Come on." Everyone up and down the buff again, ready to try again! β
Zhang Zinuo couldn't help but purse his lips and smiled: "I seem to like this boss very much when I eat fish......
Xia Chiyu was stunned and said with a smile: "Yes." I think this boss is quite interesting. Although the difficulty is a little lower, yes, even if the boss can cheat, the difficulty is a little lower. Come on, we'll get over it! β
"But!" Saying that, Xia Chiyu added again. Then pinched Li Feifei's cheek: "Girl, you give me to control the infantry." And wake up, you idiot also go control the infantry! If you don't know how to play, let me control the infantry. Hurry up and die. Gu Qin said that you go to control the zhì sacrifice, and you also go to control the zhì sacrifice in An Ran. Zinuo, you are still the queen......"
The work was assigned one by one, and everyone started the second attempt, according to the previous way of playing, the first round of infantry went up to cut each other, but this time the situation was obviously better than the last time, and there were four soldiers left on their side.
"The infantry will come forward for me, don't fight other monsters and only hit the chess pieces that block the king's way, let the king get close to me as much as possible!" Xia Chiyu said, and the operation king walked forward, "The two horses began to move forward, don't approach remotely, everyone disperses." β
Everyone continued according to Xia Chiyu's instructions, this boss was almost difficult in the early stage, and Medivan's echo almost didn't control the sacrifice and blood on the opposite side, so they didn't even need to control the sacrifice, and the sacrifice on their side almost ensured the survival of most of the chess pieces. Xia Chiyu hurriedly ordered: "Come on, you two water elements go to stand on both sides, it doesn't matter if you are beaten!" β
"The priest follows the king, the queen fights monsters at the farthest distance, everyone keeps scattered, and ensures that they have a clean grid to hide from when the fire is fired." Xia Chiyu said and began to fight with the other party's chief.
Soon, Medivan's reply is ready to cheat again: "It's time for a change......"
Flames came out from under the feet of several of their chess pieces, but this time everyone was prepared and immediately moved the chess pieces away, except that one infantry did not run out in time because there were too many fires nearby, but this did not affect the overall situation.
"Okay, now all our chess pieces don't care about the other chess pieces, and all the opposite chieftain ......" Xia Chiyu said, adding to Gu Qinyan and Yuxi, "Of course, you two sacrifices still have to add my blood." β
Everyone continued to storm the other king, but soon, Medivan's echo began to speak again, and he smiled softly, "Complacency is unacceptable...... A little trick doesn't hurt......"
As soon as the words fell, a purple light suddenly floated out from the remaining warlocks and war wolves on the other side, and then the attack power suddenly increased greatly, and a few knives killed a water element near them.
"Damn, beware! The boss is cheating again! Xia Chiyu replied, "Come, hurry up and stay away from those chess pieces whose bodies have turned purple, the others don't care about my blood, everyone go all out to kill the opposite chief!" No, no...... Middle 2 swordsman, you go to the side to attract the firepower of those strengthened chess pieces, don't let them come over to hit me, hurry up! β
"Tsk. As a result, is it still cannon fodder? Gu Qin pouted his lips unhappily and began to move to the side.
But in the end, because the opponent's monster attack power was too high, only Xia Chiyu and the opposite chief were left on the field to fight alone, and the two strengthened monsters were seduced by others to a distant place and couldn't beat them.
It turns out. This boss is indeed too simple, Xia Chi Yukong zhì's king finally killed the opposite chief first when he had less than ten percent of his life left.
"It was perfect!" Medivan's echo applauded, then vanished in an instant.
There was a soft "click" from the chest behind him, indicating that there were items to pick up.
"Whew, it's over!" "That's it......" "That's it." The members of the group who stood on the side and played soy sauce said dryly, and they seemed to feel a little simple and boring about this boss.
"From the design of this boss alone. Actually, I think it's quite ingenious, but the difficulty is a little lower......" Xia Chiyu also said with a little regret, "If more changes can be added, this boss should be more interesting, right?" β
"Whatever it is, anyway. We've also passed this boss, although the results on the kill ranking are not very good, but such a simple boss, it doesn't make much sense to win the first kill, right? Chen Feng persuaded with a smile, "Come, come, let's open the equipment and see what equipment he has come up with!" β
Everyone clicked on the pickup interface, and suddenly a row of suits and equipment appeared in front of everyone.
"Holy. Four sets! "Hey, big shield! The appearance of this shield is so beautiful! "Guardian of the King, one-handed sword! This one-handed sword is carried behind the back, alas! Not bad! Everyone exclaimed.
"I didn't expect this boss to be so difficult. The things that came out were so good......" Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a little surprise, Lin Qianxue explained on the side: "I heard that the suit was originally designed by Elan, but then considering that the boss was too difficult, I put it in this boss to make this copy more popular." β
"So that's ......," Xia Chiyu held his chin and muttered. Well, there's another set that I remember was the last boss of this quest. Right? However, I heard that this last boss is very difficult and terrifying, and many guilds have been clearing the wasteland for several days. It's still no progress, and it's been stuck above 50% of the boss's blood, and I can't get over it at all. β
"Well, yes. I heard that several conferences have been broken up by this boss. Lin Qianxue said with some concern, "I heard that I have tried more than 100 and have never beaten it, and it has been stuck for ......50% for seven days in a row."
"Really...... If it were me, I would like to break up. Chen Feng smiled bitterly and said, "However, it's really a bit ...... so difficult."
Xia Chiyu looked at Chen Feng and asked, "So, what do you think?" We can now try the next hidden boss, the Void Dragon, or we can try the last boss, Prince Makzar. I don't have a problem with that, it's up to you, Lord Grown. β
"Hmm......" Chen Feng pondered for a while, then turned to Xia Chiyu and smiled: "Since you want to compete for the first kill, you naturally have to compete for the first kill of the boss at the bottom of the pass." Although we may be a little behind the other guilds, we are still confident! After all, there are not many guilds in the national server that have tried Prince Makzar, and we have a chance! β
The general unspoken rule is that the bosses that can not be fought in a team dungeon, that is, those hidden bosses, are not counted in the dungeon's "all-pass" kill list, that is, as long as you kill all the bosses that must be fought in a dungeon, it is considered to have won the first kill of the dungeon. As long as they kill Prince Makzar again, Karazan will be able to do so.
"Okay, then let's go code Lazar!" Xia Chiyu nodded and said, Xia Chiyu paused, turned his head and added, "However, I can remind you in advance, no matter how well we fight this boss in the end, don't blame others, keep a good mood relaxed, okay?" I don't want to be dissipated by a certain boss or something. β
"Ha, that's natural!" Chen Feng smiled and said, "Let's just say, after all, everyone is friends in reality, and the relationship in the game is so good, after all, the game is just a bunch of numbers, as long as everyone can play together, what is the first kill or not, I actually don't care at all." What do you guys think? Make a statement to the conductor! β
"That's a must!" "No problem!" "How can it be so bad that the meeting is over! We've got past him! "Everyone is united.
Xia Chiyu immediately smiled and replied, "Okay, then I'll rest assured." And although I say this, I don't mean to reduce everyone's morale, and I'm quite confident in my ability, so ...... Let's get past him! β
"Oh!" The crowd answered and began to walk in front of Karazhan.
On the way, they cleaned up the mobs, walked upstairs through Karazan's chess hall, and on the way, they divided all the equipment, and Chen Feng whispered to him on the side.
"Eat fish, we've been fighting together for so long, and I don't want to say more, it seems hypocritical. Anyway, no matter when, no matter what happens, any day, you come back to us, it's welcome. Chen Feng smiled and patted Xia Chiyu on the shoulder, "That's all I want to say." β
"Ah, I'll take it to heart." Xia Chiyu nodded and smiled.
From here on, the types of monsters have changed, and they are all hideous demons like flesh beasts, which look like irregular lumps of flesh and somewhat resemble octopuses. Although they don't have any skills, they have an unusually fierce attack power, and when they first started to fight this monster, they almost couldn't react, and they were killed by these monsters and two giant shield knights.
"The attack power of this monster is too high...... "Reis sighed secretly, "I was almost killed in seconds just now, but fortunately, I was the last one to open the skill and block it with perfect defense, otherwise I would have hung ......up directly."
"Indeed, let's be careful of this monster, there are quite a few ahead." An Ran looked up from the bottom of the stairs.
After they passed through the chess hall, a spiral staircase appeared in front of them, and the group followed all the way forward, clearing some of the large flesh beasts and small flesh beasts, and then reached the top of Karazhan's tower.
"Finally ......" Xia Chiyu sighed, and everyone also felt a sense of heroism emerging from their hearts.
"It's finally here!" Chenfeng clenched his fists and sighed, they went through nearly two weeks, a full twelve days of land reclamation, from the door of Karazhan, cleaned the stables, defeated the butler, went from the second floor to the third floor, killed the chaste saint, helped play the opera singer in the opera house, and then went through the bottom of the tower to the exhibition hall, defeated the curator, saw the magic of the father of the owner of the tower, the Shadow of Elan, and then played a game of chess with the echo of Medivan, before finally coming here!
The top of Karazan looked a little shabby, the top had been blasted out of a shard, and through the small door, standing in front of everyone was the demon unleashed by Medivan's power, Prince Makzar.
"It's this guy, stuck countless players......" Xia Chiyu frowned and said, "Come on, everyone has a good buff, anyway, let's try a few first!" β
"Hmm!" Everyone nodded and began to prepare.
Then, two hours of death and resurrection, they also understood why this boss was the boss at the bottom of the level.
"This guy ......," Xia Chiyu sighed and said, "It's indeed a very difficult boss." Let me briefly talk about the skills we've seen so far. β
"First of all, the prince will summon a Hellfire on the field every once in a while, invincible and unkillable, and the Hellfire will deal high aoe damage and knockback to players in the area every second."
The boss then casts a curse on the five players, increasing their maximum health to ten percent. This skill is too threatening, it's like a star of annihilation......"
"Then, there's a Secret Word: the skill of pain, which will be released on the player immediately, but it can be dispelled, and it is not a big deal."
"That's all we've had so far." Xia Chiyu said, sighing, "The most difficult thing is to curse this skill, the threat is too great, we have to think about how to deal with it...... Ten percent health, plus Golem's AOE and Shadow Word; Pain...... I now know why those guilds are still in this boss after a week. (To be continued)
