This time, we all headed to Stone Valley together. The last boss we needed to kill was sitting quietly in the valley, and it was none other than the fierce, blood-red tiger. The aura of death floated around the tiger's body, and when it opened its bloody mouth, a putrid stench wafted out of it. All in all, this tiger didn't look like an animal-type boss, but an undead one instead.
[Nether Tiger King] (Earth Rank Boss)
Level: 115
Attack: 2100 ~ 2350
Defense: 1100
HP: 2500000
Skills: [Dead Soul Strike], [Death Devour], [Nether Ghostfire]
Passive: King of Tigers, has the ability to control dark magic
… …
A burst of exclamations came from the party. The girls all had shocked expressions on their faces.
My heart sank. Fuck, I knew it wouldn't be this easy. The final boss finally dropped an Earth Rank item!
But this was normal. After all, this quest's difficulty was 1500, and it would be ridiculous not to have an Earth Rank boss.
Now, we had to think about how to deal with this powerful boss. A Level 115 Earth Rank boss was probably the strongest boss we had encountered so far!
Jiangnan Little Qiao's voice trembled a little. "Ah!
A Level 120 Earth Rank boss? That's so many levels higher than Scholar! Are we going to get wiped? "
Beauty Xun Meng also looked at Ling Xue worriedly. Ling Xue bit her lips and said, "It's fine. Let's kill it first and see what happens. If the three of us tanks can't tank the boss, you guys should find a chance to return to the city!"
Ling Yue nodded and waved her scepter. "I'll attract the aggro first. Scholar and Snow, prepare to ambush the boss!"
"Okay!"
As soon as she said that, the teamwork of the Xue Yue Studio members began to show. Ling Yue used an Ice Arrow to attract the Nether Tiger King, and I launched a sneak attack from the back. A Total Annihilation + Shield Break Slash combo successfully attracted the Nether Tiger King's attention. When the Nether Tiger King raised its claws to attack me, Ling Xue's Water Moon Slash + Undead Slash came from the back. As a result, the boss's movements were immediately pinned down. In the distance, Silent Rain's Fire Arrows continued to fall. The Nether Tiger King's Defense wasn't bad, and breaking through its Defense wasn't a problem.
The series of attacks caused the Nether Tiger King to let out an angry roar. It fiercely slammed its paw into my chest armor. I felt my chest tighten and my health dropped by more than 3000. The boss' 2350 attack was no joke!
Qin Yun and Xiao Qiao hurriedly healed me. Bing Cha also attracted the boss's aggro the moment he used Sword Qi of Destruction. The Nether Tiger King opened its huge mouth and a black halo enveloped Bing Cha. It was the skill "Death Devour". In the next moment, the black halo exploded and Bing Cha was instantly killed!
"Damn!
It's so strong … "
I shouted in the party channel. Bing Cha's Magic Resist was just too low. He couldn't tank this kind of dual skill at all.
"Bing Cha, back off. Don't attack anymore. It'll be a pity if you die!"
I warned Bing Cha. Bing Cha obediently nodded and retreated.
Ling Xue was slightly stunned. At the same time, she also received two attacks from the boss. In the light, the little beauty's figure began to scatter into stars. But in the next moment, the resurrection prophecy appeared and the beautiful figure began to condense.
Damn, even Ling Xue couldn't withstand two attacks like this!
Ling Xue smiled bitterly and said, "I can't!
My 5700 HP can't withstand two attacks. It looks like there's nothing I can do. Dummy, are you okay? "
I nodded. With the [Dragon Armor], the boss's damage to me was reduced by at least 20%. Plus, my Defense was higher than Ling Xue's. Plus, my health was 6300, which was a bit higher than Ling Xue's.
Thus, I forcefully held the monster by myself while Ling Xue waited for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. She used her Profound Ice Sword Qi to stun the boss for three seconds and buy time for the priests to heal me.
The Netherworld Tiger King's attack power was just too strong. My health didn't go over a quarter, and I hovered on the edge of death almost every moment. But the combined healing of the three priests was just about equal to the boss's attack damage.
"Cha Cha!" My Ice Sword flashed and snowflakes fluttered in the air. The two consecutive skill attacks forced the Netherworld Tiger King to take a step back. Qin Yun's [Heal] finally brought my health back to full.
The little wolf that Xia Zhi summoned also joined the battle, but its role was only to delay the boss's attack. The Netherworld Tiger King only needed to casually swipe its claws to kill the little wolf. There was no helping it, the pets that Xia Zhi summoned were only Silver-grade. They were far weaker than Ling Xue's Heaven Tier Wind Spirit Beast. The reason why the Wind Spirit Beast Xixi couldn't tank monsters was because Xixi was a control-type pet and wasn't a close-combat meatshield.
At this time, the Wind Spirit Beast played an important role. Every time I was hit until my health was low and the priests couldn't heal me, Ling Xue would always call out, "Everyone stop!"
In the next half a second, the Wind Spirit Beast would successfully sleep the boss for half a minute. During this precious time, the Priests were busy healing my HP back to full. At the same time, the Priests and Mages were also using this time to chug down mana potions. Ling Xue even gave everyone a Rank 2 Bread. This way, our mana recovery would be even stronger.
The halo of the [Dragon Armor Technique] surrounded me and a faint image of a giant dragon appeared. It looked extremely powerful and mighty.
Bing Cha saw this and couldn't help but laugh, "Fortunately, we have such an abnormal meatshield like Scholar. Otherwise, I'm afraid that no matter how many meatshields we have, we still wouldn't be able to defeat this Earth Rank boss!"
Ling Yue smiled and nodded, "Yeah!
However, just being a meatshield is useless. Those hundred-man teams would still be completely wiped out if they encountered this kind of boss. Most of their meatshields are Knights, but the Knights' attack is low, so they can't pull the boss at all. In the end, the boss would kill the priests one by one, and the whole team would be wiped … So, only someone like Scholar, who has an abnormal defense and damage output, can deal with this kind of abnormal boss … "
I said, "If that's the case, then it means that my position in the studio is unshakable. Boss, you have to give me more benefits to keep such an important employee …"
Ling Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "Alright, I'll give you a salary of 100,000 yuan every month from now on."
Jiang Nan Xiao Qiao couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim, "Wow!
100,000 yuan a month! Scholar is already a gold collar … My dream is to have an annual salary of 100,000 yuan, but I never dared to think of a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan … "
Ling Xue couldn't help but laugh, "Hmph hmph, do you think that little bit of money can move him?"
"Ah?"
At this time, Bing Cha shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, the boss is awake!
Scholar, hurry up and attack! "
Sure enough, the Nether Tiger King woke up from its hypnosis and flew into a rage out of humiliation. It opened its mouth and a purple fireball landed on Ling Yue's body. The pitiful little mage was instantly killed in the blink of an eye. Luckily, Qin Yun's thoughts were meticulous and she had already added the resurrection prophecy effect on Ling Yue.
There were no cheats in Spirit of Grief, so there was no reminder of skill cooldowns. We had to maintain a high level of concentration to give everyone in the ten-man party the buff. This was all thanks to Qin Yun being an expert who had played a lot of games. If it was Summer and Zi Yue, our ten-man party would at most have five people left.
Not long after, the boss's HP dropped below half. One of my skill buttons finally lit up, and I pressed it. The Frost Sword in my hand flashed with purple light, and as I swung it, a purple crescent slashed across the boss's body!
Ding ~!
Combat Log: Player "Frivolous Scholar" used "Crescent Moon Slash", dealing 5274 damage to target Nether Tiger King. At the same time, its movement speed and attack speed were reduced by 50%. The effect lasts for 30 seconds!
… …
I was pleasantly surprised. Crescent Moon Slash really was an OP skill!
The effect of Crescent Moon Slash was too important at this time. A faint crescent moon appeared above the boss's head, and its attack speed instantly slowed. The pressure on me was instantly reduced!
Ling Xue smiled in surprise. "Idiot, is this the Crescent Moon Slash skill book we got when we killed the ogres together?"
"Yes!"
Ling Yue looked at the crescent moon above the boss's head and suddenly said, "The light of the skill is similar to Chrysanthemum Daohana's Soul Seal. Uh... Chrysanthemum Daohana's ability to kill bosses is amazing. If we had an expert like this on Snow Moon, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state every time..."
I turned around and said with a smile, "You can spend a few million to dig her out. Maybe Chrysanthemum Daohana will agree to leave Lin Ao!"
Ling Yue shook her head and said, "How could that be possible?
If it was that easy, then her Soul Wizard status would have been dug out by Uncle Solitary Grave long ago. How could it be our Snow Moon's turn?
Yeah, I think we have to use other methods to make Chrysanthemum Daohana submit... "
I smiled and said, "Forget it. I've already tried, but she wouldn't open her mouth no matter what. Why should we force her? Let's just leave it to fate..."
Ling Yue nodded. "Yeah, pay attention to the boss. Don't get insta-killed at the critical moment!"
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not that weak..."
As soon as I finished speaking, the Netherworld Tiger King had already activated its second combo. This time, the combo was extremely terrifying. First was a [Death Devour] light ball, but this skill would only take effect after two seconds. Next was a [Spirit Strike]. As a result, the two skills exploded at the same time, and there wasn't even a chance for Qin Yun to heal!
“3729！”
“2904！”
My body became light and I died...
The girls paled in fright. The main tank was gone, and we were going to be wiped out...
The moment I revived, Ling Xue reacted quickly and sent a [Ice Sword Qi] at the Netherworld Tiger King's waist. Luckily, I made it in time. Otherwise, Bing Cha would have been insta-killed!
After a moment of chaos, we returned to the main path.
Ling Yue wiped her sweat. "Luckily, my little sister Xue Er reacted quickly. Otherwise, we would all be dead..."
Bing Cha couldn't help but smile and imitate Ling Yue's tone. "My little sister Xue Er, wow, so mushy!"
Ling Xue laughed lightly. "What?
My sister and I have always had a good relationship. Hehe, my big sister Yue... "
Xia Zhi said, "My big brother Scholar..."
"Ugh..."
Everyone vomited.
… …
Not long after, the Netherworld Tiger King's health dropped to less than a third. I also started to attack. I had nothing to do anyway, so I just threw all my skills at it.
Ling Xue and Bing Cha, the two main tanks, stood on the side and watched the show. They laughed and chatted — —
"Sister Bing Cha, what do you think this boss will drop?"
"I don't know, but it should drop a high level Earth equipment. Otherwise, it would be a waste of the boss's rank and strength!"
Bing Cha thought for a moment and said, "This Netherworld Tiger King is too strong. If we kill it, Scholar and Sister Qin Yun will be the biggest contributors. So, if it drops a metal armor or a cloth armor, there's no need to roll. Let Scholar and Sister Qin Yun choose first. Does anyone have any objections?"
Ling Yue said with a smile, "Okay okay, I have no objections. It should be like this. If Scholar wasn't tanking, we would have returned to the city and cried a long time ago ~ ~"
Jiang Nan Xiao Qiao said, "Level 115 Earth Rank bosses usually drop Level 80 equipment. My level is still far from it. If there is any Priest equipment, of course it will be given to Sister Qin Yun. Otherwise, it would be a waste..."
And so, everyone came to an agreement. I also prayed in my heart, "Let it drop. It would be best if it dropped a Level 80 Earth Rank set. Then I would be so happy..."
In reality, this was impossible. In the later stages of the game, it was very difficult to find high level equipment sets. Moreover, Earth, Heaven, Immortal, and Divine equipment sets were even more difficult to find. Even if they had set stats, each set would probably drop from a boss. For example, the ten leaders of the Army of Darkness. Yes, if we killed these final bosses, we might get a Divine equipment set or something, like the Spirit of Grief set...
As I thought about it, I couldn't stop smiling.
When Ling Xue saw this, she immediately said disdainfully, "This guy, I really can't stand him..."
At this time, it was already 11 am in the real world. Before we knew it, our ten-man party had pulled an all-nighter!
The girls didn't show any signs of fatigue because we had fought intensely for the past 15 hours, especially in the last period. We had fought four Level 115 bosses in a row, and the last one was even an Earth Rank boss. Anyone would be excited in a situation like this.
Jiang Nan Xiao Qiao suddenly let out a cry of surprise. "Oh no, I had a lunch date with the most handsome guy in the academy today. Oh no, I missed it..."
Ling Xue said disdainfully, "Tsk!
Then stand him up. He's just a little handsome, there's no need to treat him like a treasure!
Eh?
Xiao Qiao, you started dating him? "
Xiao Qiao blushed. "Not yet!
But Xiao Xue, you were the one who dumped him... "
Ling Xue was slightly startled. She looked at me and hurriedly explained, "No way!
What dump, it's just... it's just that he confessed to me on Valentine's Day last year. He said that my beauty and intelligence had long since conquered him... "
My heart skipped a beat. I immediately focused and asked, "Then how did you answer?"
Ling Xue smiled and said, "I told him that I didn't mean to conquer him. It was just his own wishful thinking. So, the matter was left unsettled. That night, Xiao Qiao and I went to a buffet at a farmer's restaurant. Hehe, that day, I almost died …"
Beauty Xue Xue said, "I see... Ling Xue, you're amazing. Normal girls can't refuse that guy. Also, that handsome guy's online ID is very cool, he's called The Rejecter..."
Ling Xue laughed disdainfully. "Tsk, what's so cool about it?
'Rejecter ', remove the radicals from these people and read them again! "
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Beauty Xue Meng blinked and said with a smile, "But this handsome guy's family is very rich. He doesn't lack anything!"
Ling Xue's beautiful eyes flashed. She smiled and said, "He doesn't lack anything, so why would he lack women?
That's why I said this kind of person can't be trusted. Xiao Qiao, continue to stand him up. This kind of person is not worth looking forward to! "
"Oh!" Xiao Qiao looked very obedient.
