When Li Huailin caught up to the NPC, Diggs was fighting a group of minions in front of him. There were four or five of them. Although Diggs' body looked very tough, with around 80% of his HP remaining, his Attack Power was very poor. Up until now, he hadn't killed a single one of the minions.
The minions also seemed to have become slightly stronger. They were no longer the maids and chefs that Shi Feng had seen in the kitchen. Instead, they had become sorrowful guards and sorrowful mages. Li Huailin looked at the attributes of the opposing minions. They were only slightly stronger than the chefs and maids. However, the sorrowful mages had started throwing Fireballs instead of Shadow Arrows. Fireballs had slightly higher Attack Power than Shadow Arrows, and they also had a burning effect. Overall, they were much more powerful. However, to Li Huailin, the burning effect only restored a few HP, so there was basically no change. The biggest change was that he had slightly more HP, so he might be able to take an extra hit.
Diggs's attacks were very weak. The soldier he was attacking had only lost half of its HP, while he himself had lost 20% of his HP. Based on this calculation, Diggs could, at most, defeat the first group of minions. He would definitely die in the second group. It was no wonder that he had died halfway through the Normal Dungeon. Everyone else had been busy distributing the loot. Who had the time to care about him?
Damn, this is the first time I've encountered such a low IQ NPC. How troublesome. In the beginning, Li Huailin had thought that the NPC system in this game was quite good. At the very least, the NPCs didn't only know how to speak one sentence. However, this guy was really a fool. For the sake of the storyline, he could only help him.
As Li Huailin thought about it, he brandished his sword and charged forward. Although the people behind him hadn't caught up yet, Li Huailin wasn't worried about dying. He had plenty of lifesaving skills to close the distance.
-2,980 (Critical Hit)
Li Huailin's first attack was a critical strike, instantly killing the Sorrow Soldier that still had half of his HP remaining. Diggs, who stood beside Li Huailin, was momentarily stunned. However, in the end, he ignored Li Huailin and continued to attack another Sorrow Soldier.
Although Li Huailin had killed a soldier, the aggro of the remaining monsters on the opposite side was still not on Li Huailin. This was because the first person to enter the monster's line of sight would automatically gain a small amount of aggro. Therefore, everyone was still focused on Diggs. Li Huailin was a little anxious because Diggs's HP had already fallen to 78%. According to what Five Grains and the others had said, this guy couldn't be healed, so every bit of HP he lost was a bit of HP. If this continued, he might not be able to last until the climax.
In order to ensure that this idiotic NPC's HP remained, Li Huailin could only step forward and attract the NPC's aggro. As the monsters were standing very close to each other, Li Huailin used Whirlwind Slash, pulling the aggro of all the monsters. Immediately, three Mages and one Sorrow Soldier turned around and began to attack Li Huailin.
"Let's kill the Sorcerer first." Li Huailin immediately began to attack the Sorcerer. After all, Sorcerers were easier to deal with.
"Big Brother Huailin, we're here!" Just as Li Huailin attacked the first Sorcerer, the people behind him finally arrived. Although the situation seemed very sudden, they immediately joined the battle and began to attack Li Huailin's current target.
"The NPC still has 76% HP," Five Grains said as he attacked. Five Grains said as he fought. Due to the burning effect of the Fireball, the NPC's HP had dropped again.
"Everyone, protect this NPC. We'll probably need to use it later in the Storyline," Li Huailin said.
"Got it." Everyone nodded.
Although the monsters were slightly stronger, it was still a piece of cake for Li Huailin's party. After spending a little more time, the few monsters on this side still fell. After the baptism of the first B0SS, this temporarily formed party had become a little more cooperative. Everyone had a basic understanding of this party's rhythm. Although the monsters were slightly stronger, their killing speed was not as slow as before.
Not only that, after obtaining the equipment, the morale of the Blue Focus and Grain Harvest had obviously increased. Their eyes looked a lot more confident, unlike when they first entered the Abyss Instance Dungeon. They always had a feeling that they could not let go of their hands and feet.
"Alright, that's it … F * ck!" Just as Li Huailin was about to say something, he saw that Diggs did not stop after killing this group of monsters. He immediately rushed to the next group of monsters.
"F * ck, this is the authentic skill of courting death. Everyone, follow up." Li Huailin could only immediately activate the skill and at the same time, beckoned the people behind him to follow up.
"Fortunately, I brought a lot of Blue Potions." Grain Harvest was slightly relieved. Fortunately, he had taken some time to collect some Blue Potions from the bank when he was recruiting people. Now that he could not sit down and drink water to recover his Mana, the Blue Potions came in handy. While drinking, he ran forward with Li Huailin.
As expected, Diggs directly rushed into the next group of monsters. Moreover, it was the kind of method that he used to rush into the group of monsters without using any skills.
"The NPC is helping you to pull the monsters … f * cking awesome." Li Huailin complained and also rushed forward. Of course, to ensure the NPC's HP, he directly started to pull the aggro.
"Brother Awesome! I think I saw a treasure chest. "The Blue Focus suddenly ran to Li Huailin's side and said.
"Where?" Li Huailin asked while fighting the monsters.
"Look at the one in front. I've never seen it before, so I'm not too sure. Do you think that's a pasted background or a real treasure chest?" The Blue Focus said as he pointed at a statue in the corner.
Li Huailin looked in the direction that the Blue Focus was pointing at. The statue was a quest statue, but he did not know who it was. It was a little big, and the treasure chest was in the corner next to the statue. The statue covered most of the chest. Fortunately, the Blue Focus could see it. There were no monsters around the treasure chest. It was just hidden in a sneaky way. They could obtain it after clearing this group of monsters.
"It's a treasure chest. Good eyesight." Li Huailin felt that he might have missed it. Fortunately, the Blue Focus had seen it.
"I'm a Hunter. It's natural for me to have good eyesight," the Blue Focus said as he rubbed his head.
"This NPC probably won't stop. Everyone, pay attention to your HP and mana, especially when it comes to grain harvests," Li Huailin said after some thought.
"Yes, I know." Grain nodded. At the same time, he felt lucky that Li Huailin was tanking the monsters. "I really don't know how Brother Awesome added his points. Not only does he have high Attack, but his Defense is also amazing. He doesn't even have to worry about healing. If it were anyone else, they would have been killed by the NPC."
The NPC lost another 3% of its HP. Because the NPC had been attacked a few times earlier, Li Huailin's HP was already low by the time he went up. This made Li Huailin a little anxious. However, the NPC had suddenly activated it last time. This time, Li Huailin immediately rushed forward after killing the last monster. As he ran, he shouted, "Everyone, follow me. One Meter of Sunshine is going over there to open the treasure chest."
"Okay!" One Meter of Sunshine rushed towards the treasure chest. The rest of the party followed the NPC. Due to the bonus speed, Li Huailin was a few steps ahead of the NPC. He was the first to enter the NPC's line of sight.
As soon as the NPC saw Li Huailin, it immediately started attacking Li Huailin. Li Huailin took the opportunity to use an AoE skill to pull the NPC's aggro. This way, the NPC wouldn't lose any HP.
While they were fighting the NPC, the equipment display window suddenly popped up. One Meter of Sunshine had probably opened the treasure chest and dropped some equipment.
"There's a rare Warrior skill book!" One Meter of Sunshine shouted in the party chat.
"Oh, my luck isn't bad." Li Huailin hurriedly looked at the skill book.
Skill Book – Backward Leap Slash: Jump back to dodge an enemy's attack and immediately counterattack. This attack deals + 15 damage and cannot be dodged. Cost: 35 MP. Cooldown: 5 seconds. Level Requirement: 25. Class: Warrior
"Oh, isn't this the Bathing in Holy Light skill? I didn't know this skill book would drop so easily. Alright, I was just about to learn an evasive skill, and now I really have one. My luck isn't bad. " Li Huailin suddenly remembered that he had seen this skill before. It was a pretty good skill. Not only could it dodge damage, but it could also attack. Not bad.
"I'll take it." Li Huailin said bluntly.
"Okay." Everyone nodded without any surprise. When they thought about how Li Huailin had finally gotten the item, they felt a bit happier.
"There's one more thing. It's a blueprint." One Meter of Sunshine said.
Tailoring Blueprint – Azure Hood: Allows you to make Azure Hoods. Azure Hood (Silver), Cloth Armor, Head, Physical Defense 5-10, Magic Defense 15-15, Intelligence + 10, Spirit + 10. Equip: Increases mana recovery speed by 3%. Level Requirement: 30. Class: Mage, Warlock, Priest. Intermediate Tailoring skill required.
"A Tailor's Blueprint … Is there a Tailor in the party?" Li Huailin asked as he looked at it. He wasn't particularly interested in Blueprints. Even though it was a Blue Blueprint, and the equipment that could be made looked pretty good, he would rather spend all his time collecting materials to make a piece of equipment. It would be more convenient to run a dungeon or fight a big guild.
"I'm a Tailor, and I'm also an Intermediate Tailor." Autumn Sorrow said.
"Alright. Thank goodness we have a Tailor. Take it." Li Huailin immediately said.
"This helmet is a bit better than the one I'm wearing right now. I'll make one when we get back." Autumn Sorrow didn't say anything else.
By the time One Meter of Sunshine returned, Li Huailin and the others were already fighting the third group of mobs. The NPC Diggs was like a chewing gum that couldn't stop. He kept charging forward, and Li Huailin and the others could only follow suit.
"Dammit, a normal party would've died a long time ago." Li Huailin said as he fought the mobs. "Moreover, this guy has only said one sentence. After that, he completely ignored us."
"We're almost at the final Boss," Five Grains said. "Don't tell me they won't let us rest before the final Boss."
"We're already at the final Boss? However, most Abyss dungeons have a hidden Boss. The final Boss can only be considered as the second-to-last B0SS, "Li Huailin said.
"Eh? There's such a thing? "Five Grains said in surprise. This was obviously the first time he had heard of this.
"I've heard of it. On the forums, people from big guilds said that Abyss dungeons usually have a hidden Boss. However, it can only be triggered under certain circumstances. This will affect the final evaluation," One Meter of Sunshine said as he nodded.
"Don't worry, it's not that difficult," Li Huailin said. "Moreover, I think this NPC is used to trigger the hidden Boss."
"That seems to be the case." Sorrow of Autumn nodded. "However, if we don't receive the quest, we won't know the plot at all. Why is this guy in such a rush? Moreover, why do the people in the castle look so sad?"
"Who cares? I'm not a fan of the plot. I'll be fine after we clear the dungeon," Li Huailin said.
"Sigh … I still want to know." Sorrow of Autumn seemed to be very concerned about the plot. Unfortunately, he still did not know what was going on. He could only sigh.
There were no changes to the mobs along the way. Naturally, there was no way to stop Li Huailin and the others. After killing about five groups of mobs, the party followed NPC Digs to a hall. Looking at the layout of the hall, they knew that they were going to fight a Boss. However, they had not seen the shadow of the Boss yet.
"It's here. The last place to fight the Boss in a normal dungeon." Five Grains did not care whether there was a Boss or not. He immediately sat down and drank some water to recover his mana.
"Where's the Boss?" Li Huailin asked.
"In a while, a Warrior type Boss will come out from the door. It will also bring out two elite guards." After Five Grains finished speaking, he remembered that Li Huailin still did not know the Boss's normal difficulty skills. He began to add, "The Boss's normal difficulty skill is Super Whirlwind Slash. It will spin in a circle and then run around the room. Anyway, you have to avoid it. If you get hit, the damage will be quite high. Then, it will suddenly jump next to a player and attack them. However, if you're unlucky and trigger Whirlwind Slash, then the player who was hit by the Jump Slash might be instantly killed. The other skills are skills that target the damage output of tanks. "
"Oh, okay. Then everyone stand slightly apart. If Whirlwind Slash starts, everyone try to avoid it." Li Huailin thought for a moment and said, "Because it's Abyss difficulty, there might be new skills. If you encounter any strange attacks, immediately report to me."
"Okay." Everyone nodded.
This really gave them some time to prepare. However, it was only for a short while. Very quickly, the door in front of them opened with a "dong". A Warrior wearing armor and two minions rushed out from the door.
Li Huailin immediately looked at the other party's attributes.
Viscount Basais (Abyss): Level 32, HP: 68000, Physical Attack: 540, Physical Defense: 220, Magic Attack: 20, Magic Defense: 205.
"A Viscount … looks like he was a noble of the Empire." Li Huailin nodded. Speaking of which, he had basically guessed that the final Boss was the owner of this place.
"Who is the intruder!" Basais shouted loudly as soon as he arrived. It seemed like he used to be a skilled Warrior. From his loud voice, one could tell that he was a Warrior.
Just as he finished speaking, he saw NPC Diggs standing in front of him. Suddenly, his expression changed, "It's actually you! Diggs! You stinky bug, you actually dare to come back! "
"I've made a deal with Marcy. I'll take her away." Diggs suddenly spoke up, pointing at Basais as he spoke righteously.
"You lunatic! Marcy is my wife. I won't let you do that! "Basais immediately shouted.
"So it's a joke about kidnapping the bride. I was wondering why this guy was so anxious." Li Huailin said as he watched the melodramatic plot.
"Oh, I see." Sorrow of Sorrow nodded, and immediately imagined the plot. "Looks like this Diggs fell in love with the noble's wife and wanted to take her away, but the Viscount wouldn't let him. So that's what happened. But why do the people in the castle look so sad?"
"Who cares? The fight has already started." Li Huailin wasn't interested in the plot. As they spoke, the two sides had already started fighting. Basais seemed to hate Diggs, and as soon as he finished speaking, he shouted at Diggs to charge forward.
In order to hide the Boss, Li Huailin naturally had to protect Diggs. The instant the Boss moved, Li Huailin also started attacking.
The boss also had two annoying minions by its side. Of course, Li Huailin pulled the aggro of both of them first. However, the attack power of the minions was quite high. One of them could deal 150 damage to Li Huailin, and two of them could deal 300 damage. In addition, the boss could also deal more than 400 damage to Li Huailin. Basically, Li Huailin would lose more than 700 damage in a single round.
"Damn, I should've left this to the Sub-Tank, but there's nothing I can do now." Li Huailin thought for a moment. Seeing that the minions only had 10,000 HP, he decisively attacked the minions first, reducing the damage output.
10000 HP wasn't a lot. With Li Huailin's current attack power, if he was lucky, he would be able to kill the minions with three critical hits. With the three of them dealing damage, the minions' HP dropped rapidly. In less than half a minute, the two minions had already fallen to the ground.
"There's a lot of pressure to heal." Although it was only a matter of half a minute, Five Grains was having a hard time healing. Because his equipment wasn't up to par, his healing was too low. So when the opponent's damage output increased, Five Grains felt that his HP couldn't keep up. It wasn't until the first minion fell that he managed to bring Li Huailin's HP back up.
"Alright, looks like the Boss' new skill isn't to summon minions. Everyone, increase your damage output." After Li Huailin took down the two minions, he realized that the Boss didn't seem to want to summon minions again. That was great. If he summoned more minions, it would be a tug-of-war. When Five Grains ran out of mana, he could only summon Shameless Goddess.
"Go to hell, Diggs!" Just as they were about to attack, Basais suddenly roared. Then, his body began to spin.
"Whirlwind Slash is starting. Everyone dodge," Five Grains shouted from behind.
Sure enough, Basais spun faster and faster. Then, he began to move as he spun.
"I suddenly realized a problem …" Li Huailin suddenly said. "This is a little troublesome … the NPC here doesn't seem to know how to dodge Whirlwind Slash …"
"What?" Everyone immediately turned to look at Diggs. Indeed, Diggs had no intention of dodging. Instead, he was charging towards the spinning Basais.
"Damn, this stupid NPC!" The hot-tempered Blue Focus immediately cursed.
