Ling Yue waved the Blaze Staff in her hand and said with a smile, "Great, after this boss, I can finally sleep!"
I was speechless. So she was so eager to sleep. But I couldn't blame her. People say that beauty comes from sleeping. Enough sleep is good for beauty. Which girl doesn't want to be beautiful? I'm sure she's just trying to get her level up as fast as possible. When the ranking stabilizes, Ling Yue, Ling Xue, and Zi Yun 'er won't stay up so late!
Staying up late is the privilege of a single person like me!
At this time, the Beast Rider Zombie King had already urged its mount to rush out. The wild beast suddenly swooped over, and Ling Xue, who bore the brunt of the attack, immediately used her Flowing Light Sword to block it. With a "zheng" sound, sparks appeared on the Flowing Light Sword's edge, and Ling Xue was forced to retreat a few steps!
“1347！”
A huge number flew above Ling Xue's head. Her HP had been reduced by half!
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
But at this moment, the Corpse King on the back of the wild beast actually launched an attack. It raised the sharp sword in its hand high and slashed down fiercely!
Boom ~!
Sword light flashed as a five-meter long beam of sword energy slammed into Ling Xue's body!
Ding ~!
Combat Log: Player "Windy Snow" was attacked by the Corpse King Beast Rider's sword energy skill, losing 2345 HP!
Player "Windy Snow" is dead!
Then, there was another —
Ding ~!
System Notice: The Resurrection Prophecy has taken effect. Player "Windy Snow" has resurrected on the spot without any loss!
… …
Ling Xue stood in front of us with full health again, but her beautiful face was pale. She hurriedly ran back to my side and said with lingering fear, "Damn, this boss's Attack is so strong!"
We were all shocked. Even Ling Xue, with her high attack, had been one-shot by that sword energy skill. If it had been any of us, we would have been one-shot!
Zi Yun 'er immediately gave Ling Xue a Resurrection Prophecy. However, she received a notification that a player could only receive a Resurrection Prophecy once every two hours.
With that, Ling Xue could no longer fight. If she died now, she would drop from Level 35 to Level 34. That would be a huge loss!
Ling Yue looked a bit confused. She turned around and asked me, "What do we do now? Do we still fight this boss?"
I thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Of course we have to fight!
However, Ling Xue didn't need to fight anymore. She could just watch from afar!
We'll fight it together. Ling Yue will use Ice Arrow and Fireball, I will use Fire Arrow and Armor Piercing Arrow, and Zi Yun 'er will use Curse. Remember, the Corpse King's deadly skill has a range of 5 yards, and our ranged attacks have a range of 20 yards. Keep a safe distance! "
The girls nodded in unison. At this time, the Beastmaster Corpse King was charging toward us aggressively. Its hill-sized body seemed to shake the entire Ancient Ghost Temple!
I raised my Golden Bow and fired an Ice Arrow. With a pop, the Ice Arrow exploded on the Corpse King's chest and dealt 124 damage!
Very low!
Therefore, I switched to Armor Piercing Arrow and fired again. This time, I dealt 437 damage!
At the same time, Zi Yun 'er's curse skill finally succeeded after failing three times. A sickly purple aura appeared above the Corpse King Beast Rider's head. Ling Yue's Fireball and Ice Arrow Skills also bombarded the Corpse King Beast Rider's chest. Everyone knew that attacking the mount was not very useful. Only by hitting the main body would the boss be able to kill it!
After the boss's Defense was greatly reduced by Zi Yun 'er's Curse, I fired another Armor Piercing Arrow and dealt 821 damage!
On the other hand, Ling Yue's Fireball could also deal close to 800 damage. Her Attack Power was very fierce!
I couldn't see how long the boss's health bar was, but after fighting for about ten minutes, the Corpse King's health bar had decreased by a lot. I estimated that we could finish it in an hour!
After Zi Yun 'er's Curse succeeded, she used Retribution. However, she could only deal a pitiful 30 damage each time. Still, she wasn't discouraged and continued to attack.
On the other hand, Ling Yue's and my damage output was more balanced, so the boss' attention was basically going back and forth between us. Fortunately, Ling Yue and I had pretty good mechanics. We were able to accurately control the distance between us, so we were safe for a while.
In the blink of an eye, another half an hour passed. It was already four in the morning, and Ling Yue finally showed a trace of fatigue. It was during this short period of time that the boss suddenly attacked. Taking advantage of the short period of time when the movement speed effect was slowing it, it suddenly dashed in front of Ling Yue, its greatsword transforming into a sword light as it flew!
"Pu!"
Ling Yue was instantly killed. The white light gradually gathered and began to regenerate.
The boss lost its target and immediately turned to run toward me. I was caught off guard, and the moment the Ice Arrow left my hand, the boss's sword energy had already reached me. I felt a pain in my chest, as if my whole body was being torn apart — Ding ~!
Combat Log: You have been attacked by the Beastkin Corpse King's sword energy skill. You have been stunned and lost 3345 HP!
You are dead!
Then, there was another —
Ding ~!
System Notice: The Resurrection Prophecy has taken effect. You have resurrected on the spot, no losses!
… …
It was a false alarm. I couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat off my forehead. I hurriedly retreated a few steps. The boss was slowed by the Ice Arrow, so it was difficult for it to catch up to me. Behind me, the newly resurrected Ling Yue also launched an attack. Fireball and Ice Arrow came whistling toward me!
Bang ~!
The fireball exploded with dazzling light when it hit the Beastkin Corpse King's chest. Finally, this Gold-grade boss let out a sky-shaking roar, its mountain-like body collapsed, dropping some equipment and a lot of gold!
Ling Yue sighed and whispered, "That was close!"
Ling Xue and Zi Yun 'er also came over. I walked up as if it was a matter of course, kicked the boss's arm away, and picked up the gold. There was a total of 257 gold!
When I looked again, I saw an azure cloak lying next to it. Next to the cloak was a piece of equipment that made my heart jump — it was an exquisite longbow with beautiful curves!
Seeing this, Ling Xue couldn't help but smile. "Dumbo can finally change weapons!"
I smiled knowingly and picked up the two equipment. First, I shared the cloak's stats with the party —
[Moon Shadow Cloak] (Gold-grade — Armor)
Defense: 85
Strength: + 12
Stamina: + 8
Level Requirement: 35
(Unappraised)
… …
It's actually a Gold-grade item!
I was slightly surprised, but I handed this elegant armor cloak to Ling Xue. This was something she could equip right now. With this, she now had two Gold-grade equipment!
In terms of equipment, Ling Xue was probably the player with the best equipment in the world right now!
What was depressing was that the monsters on the third and fourth floors were all heavy-armor, so the equipment they dropped was also heavy-armor. In this case, Ling Xue got lucky. I could only hope that the monsters on the fifth and sixth floors had mages or assassins. If that was the case, Ling Yue, Zi Yun 'er, and I would have a source of equipment.
At this time, Ling Xue held the Moon Shadow Cloak in her hands and was overjoyed. She smiled sweetly and said, "Scholar, look at the bow's stats!"
I nodded and immediately posted the bow's stats in the party channel —
[Star Chasing Bow] (Gold-grade)
Attack: 225 ~ 250
Strength: + 10
Agility: + 8
Level Requirement: 45
(Unappraised)
… …
In an instant, everyone seemed to be petrified. After a long time, Ling Yue muttered, "It hasn't been appraised yet and its attack is already comparable to Flowing Light Sword. From now on, Scholar's attack will be abnormal for a long time …"
