Chen Mo's brain spun quickly.
There was a way. If he, Ceci Hailow, and the little Warrior could keep the Mummies occupied and let the Blood Shadow Doppelganger reduce the Mummy's HP to 20%, there would be hope.
If they couldn't do it, they would have to give up. The Crimson Cage skill gave him limited time, and he would not have a second chance.
This was not impossible. The Mummy's HP was 500,000. With the Blood Shadow Doppelganger's terrifying damage, it would only take 30 seconds to reduce its HP to 200,000. This was not a long time.
"Take this and drink this potion." Chen Mo tossed a bottle of Paralysis Potion to the little Warrior.
There was a 20% chance of paralysis for 3 seconds. When the two of them attacked, they could paralyze the monster and delay its movement. More importantly, the negative effect would make it easier to attract the monster's aggro.
"Okay." The little Warrior took the potion and drank it quickly.
After giving the potion to the little Warrior, Chen Mo knew that this was not enough. Even with the Paralysis Potion, it would take too much luck to pin down a group of Mummies for 30 seconds.
Chen Mo thought back to the monsters he had captured and tried to find an ability that he could use.
Chen Mo quickly found a skill called Provoke.
This skill belonged to the Armored Porcupine. After using it on a player, the player's target would be forced to become an Armored Porcupine for 5 seconds. Moreover, if the player attacked the Armored Porcupine while in the Provoke state, the player would receive twice the damage reflected back.
The Provoke skill's cooldown was only 10 seconds. Previously, in Chen Mo's eyes, the Provoke skill was a joke. After all, he did not have the high defense of the Armored Porcupine, nor did he have the talent to reflect back damage.
However, if he copied the Provoke skill now, he could make an uncontrollable Mummy turn back in an instant at a critical moment.
Chen Mo immediately copied the Provoke skill with the Sealed Cage ring.
However, when Chen Mo copied the skill, a Mummy suddenly rushed out of Chen Mo's line of defense.
Charge!
Provoke!
However, the little Warrior's reaction was extremely nimble. He used Charge and blocked the Mummy's path. Then, with a flick of his Bloodthirsty Demon Sword, he knocked the Mummy back several steps.
Fling was a common skill of the Warrior class. Similar to Chen Mo's Shock Trap, it didn't deal much damage. However, it could fling light monsters into the air, making it easier for the Warrior to launch consecutive attacks. When encountering heavy monsters, it could also repel them.
Blood Sword Thrust!
Then, the little warrior's Bloodthirsty Demon Sword extended forward and ruthlessly pierced into the mummy's lower abdomen.
Crimson Sword Stab was a skill that only Berserkers had. When the tip of the sword pierced the enemy, not only would it deal a lot of damage, it would also have the effect of knocking the enemy back.
After being continuously hit by the little Warrior, the Mummy immediately retreated 4 to 5 meters away, and its aggro immediately fell onto the little Warrior.
On the other side, Chen Mo used Shock Trap and Minute Poison Crossbow to pull the aggro of another Mummy back.
In the following period of time, from time to time, there were Mummies that tried to rush to the Mummy Boss's side. However, they were all forcefully pulled back by the little Warrior, Chen Mo, and Ceci Hailow.
Of course, there were also times when they were too busy. At this time, Chen Mo's newly copied Provoke came in handy.
The Provoke skill was indeed useful. The Mummy that was originally charging towards the Boss immediately turned around and attacked Chen Mo after being hit by the Provoke skill.
Those who didn't know the details might have thought that Chen Mo was a Shield Knight.
However, the little Warrior played a huge role in Chen Mo's success in stalling these Mummies.
After holding on for more than 20 seconds, the Mummy Boss's HP began to decrease. More than 10 Mummies seemed to have been summoned by the Mummy Boss and wanted to rush over.
Although Chen Mo, Ceci Hailow, and the little Warrior resisted with all their might, several Mummies still managed to get past their blockade.
However, at this time, the little Warrior fiercely stabbed the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword into the ground, and a Blood Swamp with a radius of 10 meters appeared.
In this Blood Swamp, the Mummies' speed was reduced to that of a snail. On the other hand, the little Warrior's speed was much faster.
The little Warrior's body was like a phantom as he ran to the Mummies and violently beat them up. In the end, the Mummies' aggro was pulled back.
"What kind of skill is this?"
Chen Mo was shocked. He wasn't familiar with the Berserker's skills, but this skill was a little too overpowered. In the Blood Swamp, the speed reduction was so powerful that even if he were to fall into it, he would only be beaten up by the puny Berserker.
"Blood Swamp. The skill's effect is not bad. It's a pity that the skill needs to absorb too much damage. Most of the time, the battle is over before it can even be used." The little Warrior shook his head.
Chen Mo immediately understood. This skill was similar to his Toxic Assault skill. It needed to store damage before it could be used. However, the little Warrior's skill needed to store more damage. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long to use it.
Thanks to the little Warrior's Blood Swamp skill, they managed to hold on for 30 seconds.
However, Chen Mo was still trying his best to delay the Mummy Boss so that the Blood Shadow Doppelganger could deal more damage.
While Chen Mo and the other two were trying their best to delay the Mummy Boss, the Blood Shadow Doppelganger's damage output was still crazy. It had already reduced the Mummy Boss's HP to 20%.
Under the Blood Shadow Doppelganger's crazy damage output, the Mummy Boss's HP was still decreasing.
20% … 15% … 13% …
The Mummy Boss's HP was getting lower and lower. Chen Mo and the little Warrior were still trying their best to delay the Mummies. Compared to the initial 30 seconds, they had already delayed the Mummies by almost 10 seconds.
As long as they could delay the Mummy Boss for another 20 seconds, the Blood Shadow Doppelganger would be able to kill it!
From Chen Mo's point of view, this Mummy Boss was not a real Boss. It was a large monster on the same level as the black skeletons from before. As long as they did not attack the Mummy Boss, the Mummy Boss would definitely die under the Blood Shadow Doppelganger's attack.
The Boss's HP was … 10%!
However, when the Mummy Boss's HP was reduced to 10%, the Mummy Boss was not a real Boss. It did not use its ultimate attack like the other Bosses. However, it still let out a roar.
When the roar was heard, Chen Mo's expression changed. He saw that the Mummies that he and the little Warrior were holding back had all turned around. They were no longer bound by the aggro and were all rushing towards the Mummy Boss!
If these Mummies were to reach the Mummy Boss, it would only take a moment for the Mummy Boss's HP to recover back to 1,000,000. Chen Mo's efforts would be in vain.
However, Chen Mo had already prepared for this!
Hurricane!
Chen Mo had not used Ceci Hailow's ultimate skill, the Hurricane Skill.
The Hurricane Skill had evolved and its movement speed was very fast. When Ceci Hailow used the Hurricane Skill, she could instantly bring all the Mummies as far away as possible!
This was Chen Mo's initial plan. He would let the Blood Shadow Doppelganger reduce the Mummy Boss's HP as much as possible. When he could no longer control the Mummies, he would let Ceci Hailow use her ultimate attack.
The Hurricane Skill was indeed powerful. The black hurricane instantly swept across the surrounding area and brought dozens of Mummies into it. Then, under Chen Mo's command, the Hurricane Skill brought the dozens of Mummies to the place furthest away from the Mummy Boss.
Chen Mo quickly stepped forward and quickly set up a Whirlpool Trap in the middle of the Mummies and the Mummy Boss.
After five seconds, the Hurricane Skill ended. After the Mummy Boss landed on the ground, they roared and rushed towards the Mummy Boss.
When they reached the middle of the Mummy Boss, Chen Mo had already set up the Whirlpool Trap and enhanced it with the Trap Control Skill.
A large group of Mummies rushed past the Whirlpool Trap. When Chen Mo and the first group of Mummies were about to rush out of the Whirlpool Trap, he immediately activated the Whirlpool Trap.
When the Whirlpool Trap was activated, the Mummy monsters were immediately attracted by the Whirlpool Trap and could not move forward.
Chen Mo knew that he did not have enough time to rely on the Hurricane Skill. The Whirlpool Trap was Chen Mo's other means of protection.
The Whirlpool Trap only lasted for four seconds. However, the Hurricane Skill lasted for five seconds and the Whirlpool Trap lasted for four seconds. In total, they had trapped the Mummies for nine seconds.
The Mummy Boss only had 10% HP left. In these few seconds, the Blood Shadow Doppelganger had already killed it. Before the Whirlpool Trap ended, the Mummy Boss had already fallen to the ground.
When the Mummy Boss died, it dropped two items just like the Black Skeletons.
Before the Mummies could escape, Chen Mo quickly rushed over and picked up the two items. Then, he and the little Warrior rushed into the tunnel at the end of the hall.
After the Mummy Boss was killed, the Mummy monsters were completely enraged. They roared and chased after the two of them. However, when Chen Mo and the little Warrior rushed into the tunnel at the end of the hall, the Mummy monsters stopped chasing after them.
In the dark stone tunnel, Chen Mo let out a sigh of relief and looked at the two items in his bag.
It was a combination of equipment and a skill book. One equipment, and one skill book.
Mummy's Cloth Clothes
Description: A piece of cloth made from the Mummy's body. It does not look good, but it can effectively reduce damage received.
Quality: Purple
Restriction: Level 35 and above. Can be equipped
Attributes:
Physical Defense: 100
Magic Defense: 120
Vitality: + 40
Agility: + 40
Maximum HP: + 300
Additional Effect: Damage received by the player is reduced by 15%.
The equipment was a purple shirt. Chen Mo looked at it and felt that the attributes were quite good.
Cloth Clothes were the lightest clothing in the game. When wearing Cloth Clothes, the player's movement speed would not be affected by the equipment.
However, although Cloth Clothes were light, their attributes were also the lowest among all the defensive equipment.
Whether it was Defense or other attributes, Cloth Clothes were inferior to other defensive equipment. This was the price of sacrificing weight for lightness.
…
The first item was even better.
