The three-person retreat was too late, nearly leading to a total wipeout, and the team atmosphere grew tense.
【Team Channel】Silent: Let's regroup. Three seconds to prepare. Three, two, one, unleash!
Despite the team's low morale, everyone continued to attack methodically.
Frost Spell!
Ice Blade!
Fire Wall Technique!
Fireball!
-5, -4, -4, -5
East Wind Arrives set the pace, maintaining steady damage output as Bss Health Line dropped by 5%.
“Ants, take another hit from me!”
Skeleton Heavy Hammer!
“Whoosh—”
The Flame Shield enveloped the soaring Peacock Nan Zhi, and everyone quickly withdrew from the battle zone, avoiding the massive attack with hardly any fluctuations in their Health Bar.
A Recovery Spell was cast on the Light Armor Swordsman, just as he landed, and at that moment, Bss fell.
System Announcement: Congratulations to Mysterious Player for leading team members East Wind Arrives, Jiang Linchuan, Mao Mao's Thigh, Splashing Water in Your Face, Peacock Nan Zhi, More Curved Than a Mosquito Coil, Peach, Ugly Yet Proud, and Gray Tone in defeating the Skeleton Graveyard Abyss Level Four Bss Skeleton Commander. Keep up the great work!
At the moment the announcement echoed, Crimson Dusk, who had just experienced a wave of team annihilation, stood frozen in shock.
Peach Blossom Eyes’s Black-Clad Thief raised an eyebrow, and beneath the Black Veil, her crimson lips curled into an ambiguous smirk.
It was a miscalculation.
Her indifferent gaze shifted towards the room where Four Bss was located. With a flick of her slender fingers, she summoned tiny fragments of Golden Light, focusing intently as the cold gleam of a dagger danced like a sprite between her fingers.
After a moment of contemplation, she said, “Blood-red President Dongfeng,” her casual tone carried an undertone of subtle mockery upon closer inspection. “It seems we need to adjust our plans and start over.”
“Qin Huai, I spent a fortune arranging this mission with Shadow Alliance. Since you accepted it, you should see it through properly. We are already lagging behind the other side by one Bss in progress.”
“Pfft—”
A scoff escaped her lips.
Casually, she dug her thumb into her ear as if she had heard a joke, then flicked her well-proportioned index finger. “What we agreed upon was to help you secure the Expert Difficulty Dungeon, not to compete with the Newbie Alliance currently grinding through Abyss Level,” she said sharply, her eyes narrowing dangerously. “And as for these two team wipes, you all know whose responsibility that is.”
Her icy gaze swept over the tearful White-Robed Priestess. The woman’s delicate face was filled with grievance and sorrow, evoking a protective instinct in the hearts of the men around her.
“I didn’t mean to! Brother Qin, you know that both Ning Xue and I just wanted to help. Who knew the Bss would be so powerful and take me out in an instant?”
The woman pressed closely against Crimson Dusk’s arm, her soft curves creating an enticing silhouette that made Neighbor Wang swallow hard, his heart racing.
“Xinxin didn’t mean it either,” Mu Ningxue said with furrowed brows as she reviewed the team’s damage output and healing charts. “Brother Qin, I noticed that both of our outputs at Luo Ran Residence are somewhat low.”
Upon hearing this, Crimson Dusk cast a sharp glare at Water Buffalo Does Not Wait and Jade Bridge Kengdu.
A move that diverted disaster just at the right moment.
"Blood Color Guild Leader, my equipment and that of Water Buffalo surely can't compare to what your great Guild produces. Moreover, Water Buffalo has been responsible for tanking the monsters and hasn't dealt much damage, which is perfectly normal. I've been focusing on support and last-hitting; if I don't control my attacks, I'm afraid Bss's aggro will get chaotic. If you think this arrangement is a bit off, we can switch places with the members of Blood Color."
Jade Bridge Kengdu wore a warm smile as he explained the situation.
"Exactly, we've always followed your lead. If it's all about damage output, then we'll go all out. But if any problems arise, don't blame us—"
Water Buffalo Does Not Wait pointed at Qin Huai beside him and continued, "This one here is the real external aid. Don't lose focus; instead of hiring someone at a high price, we came to support at our boss's request, but we're working for free~"
With a shift in tone, he nudged the Masked Thief, who was half a head taller than him, with his shoulder and said mischievously, "Brother, aren't you the highly-paid helper hired by Blood Color Guild Leader? You should show some commercial value to make it worthwhile. I heard Newbie Alliance also hired external help; they've already cleared three Bss. Their hired help seems pretty impressive!"
He cast a sideways glance at Crimson Dusk, his implication crystal clear.
The group's attention once again fixated on Qin Huai.
Qin Huai casually changed his stance, leaning against the Revival Stone with an indifferent expression. "If I remember correctly, our opponents are the North River Guild, who are also grinding at Expert Level difficulty—not the Newbie Alliance that's currently struggling in Abyss Difficulty. I hope you all don't mistake your targets."
With a shift in tone, he returned to his previous laid-back demeanor. "As far as I know, North River Guild has also faced two team wipes and is currently at the same progress as us. However—"
His deep and hoarse voice carried an elusive undertone that contrasted sharply with the urgency and anxiety within the team. "If you keep debating who's right or wrong, you might really fall behind their progress. Get up; in terms of team output, I haven't made any mistakes. Just look at your healing leaderboard; after all, I've never seen a healer with less than a hundred healing done."
"You—"
Flourishing pointed angrily at the slouched figure.
"Enough!" To prevent the argument from escalating further, Crimson Dusk strode forward and said coldly, "Everyone follow me to the Four Bss room."
Water Buffalo Does Not Wait withdrew his gaze from the Team Output Ranking and quickly followed suit while Deep Down muttered:
Why was the output of the other thief so much higher, even though they were both using the same class gear? It was simply unscientific—
Even if the weapon in his hand was a tier better, it shouldn't be three times as powerful; that was practically a bug. Who exactly was this guy?
His gaze was fixed on the slender figure of Black-Masked ahead, the intense stare almost impossible to ignore.
On the other side, in the Hard Mode dungeon, Evil Guild.
"Boss, should we try to farm Four Bss first? The Skeleton Knight's ambush and single-target attacks are too high; Feeder is struggling a bit."
Kaka tightened her grip on the slender Golden Dagger in her hand, a hint of anxiety flickering across her face.
Old Steed in the Stable shook his longsword, while the resolute Beauty showed no signs of panic, remaining calm and composed.
"If I'm not mistaken, Four Bss has a suppressive effect on Skeleton Knight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Main Weakling looked apologetic and said, "Boss, I didn't time my Ambush right. The wipe earlier was my fault."
"Feeder, it's not just your responsibility; we all share the blame. Even if you had dodged, Daifuku and Cold would still have been unable to escape the battle zone."
Wind Passing, Clouds Following comfortingly patted the big man's shoulder, an unusual seriousness on his face.
Who would have thought Hard Mode would be this difficult—
What kind of challenge awaited them in the Abyss Level of Newbie Alliance?
[Team Channel] Silent: Dongfeng, clear the battlefield. Everyone follow me.
Without even glancing at the fallen Bss that had dropped a pile of gear, Yan Yan hurriedly pushed open the door and led the team members toward Room Number Three Bss.
As they passed through the winding circular corridor, an open training ground suddenly came into view.
The surrounding ruins were eroded by black mist, leaving no vegetation in sight.
The training ground was paved with blue marble, its deep blue surface adorned with crimson patterns, familiar symbols resembling some kind of magical lines. In the center stood a circular fighting platform made of the same material, elevated above the training ground by one step, with the crimson patterns more pronounced. The air was thick with swirling black mist, encircled by weapons that clanged together.
At the center of the fighting platform, where the Bss would respawn, dark red bloodstains spread out, a faint scent of blood lingering in the air, as if they were in a beast-fighting arena, a wild atmosphere enveloping them.
After East Wind Arrives arrived, Yan Yan pointed to the fighting platform and said, "Number Three Bss Skeleton Knight, a physical attack type. Its fighting style is similar to Number One Bss and Four Bss. It has skills like Ambush, Lance Thrust, and Skeleton Explosion. The ultimate skill, Skeleton Explosion, activates when its Health Bar drops below 30%, releasing every three minutes. The Attack Range is a fan-shaped area extending twenty yards in front. When it releases its skill, everyone should Dodge past the Bss and move to its back. Remember, aside from Peacock Nan Zhi and Soaring Cloud Ladder attracting the Bss's aggro, everyone else, including the main tank, must retreat. Our current gear and defenses can't withstand a single hit. Dying once means receiving a layer of Death Debuff. Everyone should avoid death at all costs."
She pulled up the team interface and pointed to the fifteen-minute countdown for the BuFF above. "This is the suppression effect of Skeleton Commander on Skeleton Knight. This deterrent BuFF that increases health, defense, and attack lasts only fifteen minutes. Therefore, we must defeat the Skeleton Knight within this time frame. Understood?"
Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, she looked at the Bss sitting atop its skeletal warhorse on the fighting platform and said, "Then—old rules," waving her hand coldly as she uttered two words: "Focus fire."
"Damn adventurers! How dare you offend us!"
The Bss roared angrily and instantly entered battle mode.
With three previous Bss providing Experience, they engaged the enemy for five minutes. Their cooperation was seamless; they moved swiftly while their Health Bars fluctuated occasionally but managed to survive without incident. They endured three Ambushes and Lance Thrusts as their team's output flowed smoothly.
The Skeleton Knight's Health Bar visibly diminished.
【Team Channel】Silent: Final adjustments in position.
Mao Mao's Thigh cautiously moved to the designated spot, swallowing hard as he watched the Bss's Health Bar drop to 1%, readying his Ambush skill for a countdown.
%!
19%!
Skeleton Explosion!
With a sweep of the spear in Bss's hand, the intricate lines of magic on the ground lit up, revealing a deep blue surface that flickered with crimson light within a twenty-yard radius. It was as if writhing, blood-red worms were devouring everything around them. "Boom—"
Ambush!
Dodge!
Soaring Cloud Ladder!
The expanding lines of magic erupted at the moment of Peacock Nan Zhi Floating Arrow, creating a scorched earth where the skill was unleashed, leaving behind a charred landscape.
Splashing Water in Your Face wiped the cold sweat from his brow as the rogue, in Stealth mode, nearly crossed the explosive warning line to slip behind Bss.
Setting aside his anxiety, he thrust his sharp dagger toward the monster that had just spawned beside Bss.
Chokehold, Stun Baton, normal strike!
Three moves connected with three Skeleton Soldiers, and he expertly pulled them away to begin kiting the monsters. (To be continued.)
