“Blood Bull, adjust the Bss direction.”
Triple Slash Combo unleashed, the Blood Hole in the abdomen of Stone Spider Lair was instantly torn apart, and the Bleeding Debuff continued to increase.
-7, -68, -88, -1, -1, -99...
He stepped closer, his view filled with the black back of Stone Spider Lair, its eight furry legs trembling rhythmically, and six slightly red eyes staring back with a terrifying gaze.
As Blood Bull continuously adjusted the Bss direction, the rear of Bss became visible. Remembering the archer from the Forum video, whose sharp arrows dealt unimaginable Damage Value to a certain spot, he decided to give it a try.
Health Points were dropping too slowly!
With the Health Bar at 6%, it was nearly equal to Bss's healing rate; the damage was insufficient, and the Health Bar value showed no signs of decreasing.
Triple Slash D had already cooled down. Just as he was about to act, Blood Bull Does Not Wait instantly understood his intention. It tilted its head to signal Water Buffalo Does Not Wait to distract Stone Spider Lair. With a firm stance, he changed his momentum; his feet rooted like mountains. With a charge, the Silver Longsword surged forward like a rainbow piercing through the sky. “Puff—”, the Arrow Tip plunged deep into Bss's left eye.
-99!
Critical Damage!
“Roar—”
Bss howled in pain and instantly went berserk.
Silk Corrosion, Web Entanglement, Web Silk Hunt!
Three attacks were unleashed in an instant.
"Ah—"
The far-left Seductive was instantly struck by Silk Corrosion, taking -9 damage!
A one-hit kill!
A flash of white light appeared.
【Team Announcement】: Seductive has been killed by Stone Spider Lair.
"Ding—"
The Silver Longsword blocked the Web Silk Hunt, standing firm like a mountain. The expression on the face was calm and resolute, but the bulging veins on the arm revealed the perilous struggle against the force.
The water buffalo moved gracefully, thrusting the Black Iron Dagger repeatedly towards Bss's right eye.
-6, -5, -55
Triple Slash!
-9, -18, -99
Critical Damage! Critical Damage!
A Critical Hit was achieved—
Crimson Dusk felt a surge of joy, remembering the players from the Forum video. The longsword in hand swung continuously, with each Red Damage Value popping up in succession. With everyone around pouring in their full power, Bss's Health Bar rapidly dropped, losing half its health in less than five minutes.
46%!
Bss was caught in a precarious situation, its six eyes on its back glowing an increasingly vivid red, while its eight hairy legs moved faster and faster.
"Blood Bull," frowned at Bss's strange state, suppressing the unease in his heart. "Keep an eye on the surroundings; Bss is too calm."
"I was just thinking about that. When I cleared out the Stone Spider Monster earlier, I noticed Bss's Health Line dropped. It was only a few dozen points, but it definitely went down. The pressure from its six eyes was overwhelming; I kept a close watch on its Health Bar and Hatred Value. So when I killed the Stone Spider Monster, I felt Bss's anger. In that moment, my Hatred Value nearly caught up to the Blood Color Guild Leader."
Upon hearing this, Crimson Dusk's expression darkened even more. "Blood Bull, the Stone Spider Lair might be one of those Bss with a certain level of intelligence that was mentioned on the Official Website."
The seriousness of his face only accentuated his striking features.
【Private Chat Channel】The Neighbor Is a Gay Man: Blood Bull, the Stone Spider Lair is very tricky; our team got wiped out.
【Private Chat Channel】Big Fish Eats Fish: Jade Bridge, Bss has a special ultimate move. After its Health Bar drops below a certain percentage, it summons all the Stone Spider Monsters in the cave to attack everyone, regardless of Hatred Value. Watch your team's Health Points; we’ve already been wiped out.
【Private Chat Channel】Howl: President, we got wiped out.
The three of them received the news simultaneously, their expressions changing drastically.
Three pairs of eyes immediately scanned Bss's Health Line: 4%.
"Adjust formation."
Crimson Dusk quickly commanded everyone to gradually retreat in a fan shape towards the cave entrance.
Blood Bull stepped back cautiously, maintaining a stable Hatred Value as he carefully led Bss towards the cave entrance.
The Water Buffalo swiftly darted into the depths of the cave. When he saw nearly fifty Stone Spider Monsters clustered ahead, goosebumps erupted all over his body.
Damn!
With a summon, Bss unleashed these Level 1 Stone Spider Monsters, swarming towards them. Their Health Points were barely enough to fill a gap. He immediately reported the situation in the Team Channel, feeling an undeniable heaviness in his heart, thinking: They were completely understaffed.
In this dire situation, the team leader Crimson Dusk understood the gravity of their predicament.
Gritting his teeth, he felt an increasing tension within him.
Xiao had already failed; they could not afford any mistakes here.
Moreover—
Wangduan had just sent word that the Evil Guild had taken over the Stone Spider Lair.
With a grim expression, he tightened his grip on the longsword and executed a Triple Slash with a determination to fight to the bitter end against Bss.
Silk Corrosion!
“Ugh—”
-9
Bss furiously turned around and struck back, unexpectedly taking the hit head-on, causing his Health Points to plummet instantly.
“Swish—”
Recovery Spell.
Mu Ningxue trembled as she raised her hand, taking a deep breath. Thankfully, she had managed to add it.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she continued to focus intently on the Health Points of everyone around her.
“Blood Color Guild Leader, pay attention to the Hatred Value. Bss is too alert; its movements are barely noticeable. If this continues, we won’t be able to pull it to the cave entrance in time, and we will face Bss's ultimate move.”
“Blood Color Guild Leader, our team doesn’t have many Health Potions left. Bss still has 4% Health Points. I estimate that we won’t be able to withstand its remaining ultimate attack.”
Just as Blood Cow Does Not Wait finished warning, Jade Bridge Kengdu calmly pointed out the current supply issue, casting a fleeting glance at Mu Ningxue, who was fully focused on restoring Crimson Dusk's Health Bar.
“Whew—”
The approaching Water Buffalo Does Not Wait stopped outside of Bss's Attack Range, his face grim. “I went inside to check. There are fifty Stone Spider Monsters.”
“What? Fifty?!”
“How are we supposed to fight that?”
“Boss, those are level 1 monsters, and our average Level is only nine.”
“President, we can’t hold out.”
Upon hearing this, everyone voiced their concerns, especially the ten players from Luo Ran Residence. They had just managed to reach level 9, and losing levels would be a huge setback; today’s gains wouldn’t compensate for the loss of levels.
After exchanging glances, they all turned their eyes toward Jade Bridge Kengdu.
Receiving their intentions, Jade Bridge Kengdu concealed the calculating look at the corner of his mouth and said gently, “Blood Color Guild Leader, under the current circumstances, the best option is to call in some more people to assist in clearing the monsters, or we can abandon this wave and regroup for another attempt later.”
“No way!” The suggestion to regroup was met with a dark scowl from Crimson Dusk, his expression so grim it could drip water. “Jade Bridge Kengdu, gather all players from this spawn point, Luo Ran Residence, immediately to clear the monsters. We need to slow down the pace of farming Bss.”
“Understood,” he replied. Within a minute, his calm voice rang out again. “I just counted the online numbers; there’s only a few main members, while the rest are ordinary guild members. The ordinary members are demanding double rewards and reimbursement for supplies. Blood Color Guild Leader, is that acceptable?”
A hint of satisfaction flickered across Jade Bridge Kengdu's face hidden in the shadows, but his tone was filled with helplessness and concern.
“Fine, have them come over right away.”
Gritting his teeth, he agreed to the request and sent a message to Wangduan to handle the compensation issue before fully preparing to draw Bss out of the cave.
Hidden in the crevices outside the cave, Yan Yan listened intently to their conversation. Noticing someone approaching from ahead, she immediately crouched low, completely concealing herself within the rocks.
In less than three minutes, a new team member joined.
Bss was still 15 yards from the cave entrance; this position was extremely dangerous as it fell perfectly within the range of archers. Melee classes would still need to engage within the dark cave without benefiting from any light to deal damage to the Stone Spider Monster.
The Stone Spider Lair remained motionless beyond that 15-yard mark from the cave entrance.
A smirk appeared on Yan Yan's lips; this Bss was simply outclassing a group of people in terms of intelligence.
As she focused on Bss's glaring eyes and considered its attack range of 15 yards, she applied Concealment Powder and readied her Sulfur Flame Powder and Oil Torch for an ambush.
“Blood Bull, move Bss further left. Bring it into the open space at the cave entrance,” she instructed while stabilizing Bss's recovering Health Points with a basic attack skill. Pointing ahead at a ten-square-meter area, she added, “All melee classes concentrate there; ranged should stay at the cave entrance.”
Crimson Dusk organized the ten new team members with added confidence in his voice. He continuously adjusted his position to face Bss directly, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, “Give it everything you've got!”
In an instant, all of the attacks from the crowd struck Bss, and the six eyes on its back turned increasingly red as its Health Bar plummeted rapidly.
Suddenly, the six eyes of the Stone Spider Lair overflowed with blood, its legs moving in a chaotic dance.
“Rustle—”
A chilling sound echoed from deep within the cave, and a swarm of thumb-sized Stone Spider Monsters crawled in densely.
“Hiss—”
Taking a sharp breath, Water Buffalo stood ready with ten newly joined members, forming a tight line to guard in front of those fighting Bss.
“Clang, clang, clang—”
The clear sound of spider silk hitting weapons created an oddly discordant atmosphere amidst the tension.
The ten people holding back the Stone Spider Monsters continuously consumed Health Potions; one priest's healing was simply insufficient. The Health Bars of the three at the edge barely clung to safety thanks to their potions.
Web Silk Hunt, Silk Corrosion!
The swarm of Stone Spiders unleashed their skills, and the incoming White Spider Silk descended like a massive white net, enveloping everyone above.
“Ugh—”
“Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!”
"Hiss—"
The screams echoed as corrosive damage rapidly appeared above their heads.
-7, -8, -66...
Among the ten newcomers, five had a level of eight, and their equipment was on par with regular players.
In the blink of an eye, a group of level one Stone Spider Monsters launched their attacks, instantly taking down five of them.
Water Buffalo shouted, "The Stone Spider Monsters' attacks have suddenly doubled! We can't hold on; we must retreat!"
"We can't retreat! Hold your ground for me! One minute—no, six minutes—and we can take down the Bss!"
Crimson Dusk's eyes turned red as he fixed his gaze on the Bss's health bar at 1%, shouting frantically.
We absolutely cannot let our efforts go to waste!
