"Alright."
With a firm response, Splashing Water in Your Face dashed toward the dark green figure of the Skeleton Soldier, who was leisurely sliding along the edge of the room.
Switching to Jiang Linchuan's Longbow, he drew back and released an arrow with a swift "Whoosh," sending it hurtling toward Bss's face.
Rapid Arrow Barrage, Double Shot, Rapid Fire!
The tattered robe of the Skeleton Ghost was pierced by the Arrow Tip and fell away.
A terrifying skeletal beauty appeared before everyone, with empty eye sockets glowing with eerie blue flames that seemed to be two hearts wrapped in fire! Blood dripped continuously from the gray-white facial bones onto the robe, forming dark red stains on the floor. The blood flowed from a pile of white bones at Bss's feet, and the hearts in its eyes belonged to those whose bones lay scattered. The Skeleton Ghost persisted in existence by continually offering the hearts of the living as sacrifices.
"Ah—"
"Ah—"
The startled cries of Gray Tone and Peach echoed through the room.
"Crack, crack, crack—"
The Arrow Tip embedded itself into the skull.

The continuous emergence of Red Damage Values instantly propelled them to first place in Team Output Ranking.
Fire Wall Technique, Frost Spell, Fireball, Ice Blade.
Magic Skills displayed dazzling effects, instantly illuminating the space shrouded in dark mist.
Ahead, tables and chairs lay askew, soaked in thick pools of blood, the air heavy with a strong metallic scent that made breathing difficult. The fire in the hearth burned not logs, but bodies—
It was a true test of the players' willpower.
"You ants are simply asking for death!"
With a roar, the Bss staff swung, casting Ghost Temptation!
Mao Mao's Thigh trembled from standing too long; this was bad—he had fallen for it—
Chaos, fear, disorientation.
His body instinctively shifted to the side, and the Bss's gaze immediately turned towards the top damage dealer, Jiang Linchuan.
A black circle flickered beneath his feet, and a hexagram suddenly lit up.
Teleportation!
The Bss displaced to stand before the dark green archer, an overwhelming chill enveloping him. Ice surged from the ground, a thin layer forming over his bookish Beauty. His sharp eyes narrowed slightly as he moved his fingers; the bowstring was about to be released.
Damn it—this was the worst-case scenario!
Yan Yan turned around, swallowing the dark incantation, and executed a slide dodge!
The emaciated figure in gray immediately stood in front of Jiang Linchuan. The man, towering over her by a head, had a pair of striking black eyes filled with surprise. He never expected someone would step in front of him.
Looking down at the black crown beneath his chin, the slender body seemed as fragile as paper, yet the unmoving figure felt as heavy as a mountain.
"Retreat."
The cold voice was no different from before; the only distinction was the hurried breaths that betrayed her current emotions.
Even knowing the danger, she resolutely stood at the forefront. Was it merely out of responsibility for the Leader?
Or did this seemingly calm and composed young girl, who rarely showed emotion and appeared somewhat indifferent, harbor a glimmer of warmth amidst the world's coldness deep down?
Noticing the person behind her remained still, a hint of anxiety surfaced in her ink-black eyes.
She urged Bss to retreat; at least they could escape using the Spider Silk Ring. If Jiang Linchuan were to die here, not only would Bss recover only 1%, but it would also inflict a Death Debuff on the team, ensuring they would never reach Number Three Bss.
"Quickly retreat!"
She urged again.
At that moment, a blue flame flickered in Bss's hollow eye sockets—Grim Reaper's Scythe!
The Death Reaper Apparition reappeared with a soaring kick, and the curved scythe traced a line of hellish summoning, causing the surrounding black mist to suddenly crystallize into ice spikes!
“Whoosh—”
The ice spear, glimmering with a cold light, surged forward!
“Puff—”
It pierced through the flesh, sending a chill deep down.
-45!
“Swish—”
Recovery Spell!
Holy light enveloped the area!
The ice spear came again, plunging straight toward the chest with fierce momentum.
“You—”
The words were cut off as he was suddenly lifted into the air.
Floating Scroll?!
He looked back in disbelief at the man behind him, whose strikingly handsome Black Eyes seemed to hold an unfathomable depth.
The arms wrapped around her waist were as tight as iron bands, leaving her unable to move.
Pressing against her back, she could even feel the heartbeat resonating from the person behind her.
Ignoring the momentary embarrassment, she swallowed a Health Potion. Her Health Bar fluctuated dramatically, almost dropping to zero within seconds before stabilizing at 7%.
Once on the ground, she quickly broke free from the embrace behind her, raised her bow, and shot an Explosive Arrow directly into the eye of the Grim Reaper's Scythe's aura, igniting Blue Flame for -8 damage!
Critical Damage! Critical Damage!
Whoosh—swish!
Rapid Arrow Barrage!
Critical Damage! Critical Damage!
The Black Iron Arrow that shot from behind almost struck the eye of the Grim Reaper's Scythe at the same time as Yan Yan's Black Iron Arrow.
The stacked repeated damage caused Bss to lose health continuously for ten seconds.
After checking everyone's status after surviving that wave from the Grim Reaper's Scythe, she felt a slight sense of determination.
This mediocre team, after enduring Bss's trial, began to show signs of becoming an Elite Team.
[Team Channel] Silent: Finally, let's take down Bss in one last wave.
Three-Stage Slash!
Three-Stage Slash!

Ice Blade, Fireball, Frost Spell, Fire Wall Technique!

System Announcement: Congratulations to Mysterious Player for leading the 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 Skeleton Graveyard Abyss Level Number Two Bss Skeleton Ghost. Keep up the great work!
As the Bss's Health Bar emptied, the Skeleton Soldier trailing behind the Black-Clad Thief instantly turned to dust and vanished into the air.
"Did we win?"
“Fog Grass! This Bss is so twisted!”
“It’s simply disgusting and bloody—”
A few people, coming back to their senses, slumped to the ground with exhausted expressions.
The intense half-hour had drained them of all their energy.
【Team Channel】Silent: Recover for thirty seconds.
“Silent, Evil Person, and Blood Color were wiped out at the Number Three Bss entrance,” East Wind Arrives said, retracting his gaze from the private Chat Interface. His handsome profile was half-hidden in darkness, while the flickering torchlight illuminated the other half of his face, casting it in shadow. “Shouldn’t you give us an update on the situation at Number Three Bss?”
Ignoring the cold touch of the ground beneath him, Yan Yan knelt and glanced up at him without responding.
After a brief pause, he said, “Next, we’ll head directly to the Four Bss room.”
“Huh?”
“Number Four? Aren’t we pushing for Number Three?”
“Shut up, you two! Just follow orders; stop whining.”
Ugly Yet Proud silenced Mao Mao's Thigh and Peacock Nan Zhi, quickly kicking them up and standing in front of Cold Noodle Leader. “Leader, we’re ready. Let’s get started.”
Gray Tone nodded at Peach, who exchanged glances with Yan Yan.
“East Wind, we will settle the agreement later. For now, you can only listen to me.”
With that, the Longbow stepped forward.
Her cold tone carried a hint of suppressed anger.
“Let’s go.”
Jiang Linchuan followed closely behind, matching pace with the person in front of him. They walked side by side, one tall and one short, their Golden Longbow and Golden Light flashing in an alternating rhythm, creating a striking contrast.
At the entrance of the Four Bss.
Eight Skeleton Soldiers were patrolling.
East Wind Arrives pulled up the team interface; there were five minutes left on the attack buff from the previous monster farming session.
“In three minutes, clear out the monsters at the entrance.”
As expected, those words rang out. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Linchuan, and with a wave of his staff, a fireball shot forward, striking a Skeleton Soldier and causing high Red Damage Values to pop up.
Ice Blade!
Chokehold!
Stun Baton!
Three-Stage Slash!
Double Slash!
Rapid Fire!
Double Shot!
-18, -, -1, -1, -5...
One Skeleton Soldier fell.
Two Skeleton Soldiers fell.
Three Skeleton Soldiers fell.
...
After three consecutive waves of skills, only one Skeleton Soldier remained.
“Gray, wait a moment.”
East Wind Arrives halted Gray Tone's movements. Under the puzzled gaze of the other, he turned his attention to Peach, who stood on the other side, and said to her, “Go poke the monster.”
The man's deep Voice echoed in the dim corridor, adding a touch of chill to the atmosphere.
Yan Yan's gaze sharpened, and she was taken aback by East Wind Arrives' keen observation.
"Peach, go poke the Skeleton Soldier."
With her consent, the priest approached the creature that had been stunned by Splashing Water in Your Face and delivered a simple strike.
-45.
The awkward damage value made her fair round face flush red.
"Um... I’m done hitting."
"Ah—oh... oh! Gray, let’s go with Frost Spell!"
Splashing Water in Your Face twisted its facial expression, calling for Gray Tone to deliver a fatal blow.
Unexpectedly, the priest's attack was so weak—
But hadn’t More Curved Than a Mosquito Coil just dealt over a hundred damage?!
What was going on with this girl?
Noticing the confusion among everyone, Peach explained softly, "It's because I put all my attribute points into intelligence—"
The group instantly understood and changed their previous thoughts. This girl was a growing Big Breasts, so they better hold on tight; she had unlimited binding milk!
At this moment, every team member was under the effect of a buff that increased both attack and defense, lasting for forty minutes.
The realization hit everyone as they understood why the Cold Noodle Leader always insisted on clearing out monsters before starting a boss fight.
"Number Four, the Bss Skeleton Commander, is a physical attack type. Its defense and attack are similar to Number One Bss. The only difference is its health, which is a whopping fifty thousand—making it the tankiest of the five bosses. The strategy is similar to Number One Bss; the commander will change its facing every three minutes. After three reincarnations, we can bring the boss's health bar down to below 1%, triggering its berserk state. The Skeleton Heavy Hammer skill will activate, dealing area damage with a range of twenty yards. We need to ensure that everyone is out of the attack zone when it uses this skill, while Peacock Nan Zhi will hold aggro from the berserk Bss."
"Aside from Skeleton Heavy Hammer, the Bss also has a Skeleton Cleave skill, which is a single-target attack with high damage. All cloth armor classes should not take it head-on. In our team, Mao Mao's Thigh and Ugly Yet Proud can withstand it directly, and at that time, the priests will protect you. When pushing against the Skeleton Commander, Three-Stage Slash has no restrictions and can be unleashed infinitely."
Upon hearing that Three-Stage Slash had no limits, Mao Mao's Thigh, Peacock Nan Zhi, and Ugly Yet Proud felt a surge of excitement; it was finally their turn to shine in the Team Output Ranking!
"Remember, the Skeleton Commander is definitely the easiest to take down among the five bosses. As long as we maintain our attack rhythm and face it correctly, we can defeat it within twenty minutes. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" (To be continued.)
