The situation this time is special. "
Fangzheng's expression was solemn as he looked at the girls in front of him.
"I'm sure you've heard from Ying Lili that the boss is level 60. Its attributes are unknown, and its physical defence is ridiculously high. To put it simply, it's impossible for us to tank this boss at our current stage. Our goal this time is to save someone, so our goal is simple. We just need to attract the boss' aggro so that it can leave the central square for 30 seconds. "
"Then let me …."
Yuna raised her hand hurriedly when she heard Fangzheng's words. As the only player in the party with the "Taunt" skill, it was time for her to take the field. But Fangzheng shook his head.
"No, don't be in such a hurry. The boss is in the form of a centaur, so you can tell that it's a speed-type boss. It's also armed with a spear. If you don't handle it well, you'll be instantly killed by its charge …. Shi Nong. "
"I'm here."
Shi Nong walked out when she heard Fangzheng calling her name. Fangzheng hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he sighed and beckoned her to the side.
"This is for you. Do you know how to use it?"
"This is …."
Shi Nong was stunned when she saw the weapon that Fangzheng traded to her. It was because the weapon that Fangzheng handed to her … was something she was very familiar with.
She often saw this thing on TV. Isn't this a gun?
And it looks like a … sniper rifle?
"It's equipped with a silencer. It has a firing range of 500 meters. Don't let anyone see it. Go hide in the woods over there. Remember, don't aim for damage, just aggro the boss."
Although Fangzheng had always believed that there was no need to make real guns, he still made a few guns just in case. After all, these guns were assembled by Fangzheng using spare parts. Perhaps Liz, who made the spare parts, could more or less guess what Fangzheng wanted to do, but she probably wouldn't go around telling others about it.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Fangzheng would never reveal that Darkmoon Sword could craft guns. In this game, guns weren't very useful, but they could easily give players a false sense of security. In reality, it wouldn't even be used to fight Bosses. Take this sniper rifle for example. Although its range of 500 meters sounded amazing, how could a normal Boss room allow you to be 500 meters away?
Therefore, once this matter was exposed, not only would he not gain any benefits, but he would also easily get into trouble. Therefore, Fangzheng had basically been hiding it from others.
But now, it was a matter of life and death, so he didn't need to hesitate anymore. He wasn't one of those anime male protagonists who was unwilling to use his power no matter how many people died, and had to wait for his girlfriend to die before using his sealed power … That was pure idiocy.
"Everyone else, get out of this area and execute the lockdown mission outside. Don't let anyone in or out."
With that said, Fangzheng paused and stared at the others.
"Everyone."
Asuna, Black Cat, and a few others who were more meticulous had a slight change in their expressions. Obviously, they understood what Fangzheng meant. As for those who didn't understand, it didn't matter. After all, they just needed to follow Fangzheng's orders.
After making sure that the others had left, Fangzheng sent a message to Aster and Lestia, asking them to protect Shi Nong. This wasn't because Fangzheng was worried about Shi Nong, but to prevent anyone from accidentally approaching and discovering Shi Nong and the sniper rifle in her hand. With Aster and Lestia guarding the periphery, there shouldn't be any problems.
The Centaur Boss appeared in the central square of the abandoned city, surrounded by low-rise houses and collapsed walls. Everywhere was in ruins, giving off a feeling that a world war had just happened. This was also a place that many gatherer players would come to because they could collect items such as steel and ores from the ruins. But now, the entire square was empty.
Perhaps this was one of the benefits of the game, after all, one didn't have to look at the ground full of corpses.
"How do we get there?"
Leaning against a half-collapsed wall, Ying Lili poked her head out and looked at the centaurs in the plaza. Previously, she didn't think much of it, but now that she was up close, even Ying Lili felt a little scared. This boss was a mechanical creature, and it was as tall as a building. Ying Lili had never seen such a huge boss before. Not to mention, its level was terrifyingly high. If it even grazed her, she would probably die.
Ying Lili wasn't confident in facing such a powerful boss.
"Give me the item I gave you."
"Okay."
After hearing Fangzheng's words, Ying Lili quickly completed the trade. Then, Fangzheng received the item and equipped it. Soon, two strange objects appeared on both sides of Fangzheng's thighs.
They were composed of a cylinder and a cuboid. The rectangular box was flat and long, and the cylinder on top of the box looked like the exhaust pipe of a motorcycle.
"This thing is really interesting."
Seeing this, Ying Lili recalled the feeling when she tried it a few days ago, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mr. Fangzheng, don't you plan to give one to the others?"
"It depends on the situation. Currently, it is only an experiment. Later on, when the boss battle space is further expanded, I will give it to the others as a standard equipment."
As he spoke, Fangzheng checked the device on his thighs, then looked at Ying Lili.
"Okay, come on, I will carry you."
"Okay."
If it was before, or if they were in public, Ying Lili might have been a little shy. But now, there were only her and Fangzheng here, and they had already done what they should and shouldn't have done. So, Ying Lili didn't hold back anymore. She smiled and jumped on Fangzheng's back, hugging him tightly.
On the other hand, Fangzheng stood up and carefully walked a few steps forward. He came to the entrance at the edge of the square and stared at the huge object.
"— — — —!"
After a short while, the Centaur boss trembled abruptly, turned around, and looked in the other direction. At the next moment, the Centaur boss raised its spear and dashed in the direction of the attack!
"Swoosh!"
Under the watchful eyes of Fangzheng and Ying Lili, the Centaur boss swung its spear with all its might. A violent airflow erupted in an instant, enveloping everything within a 100-meter radius as though an invisible blade had swept through everything.
"Hiss …"
Looking at this scene, Ying Lili sucked in a breath of cold air, while Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief. Previously, he was a little worried. Now, it seemed like the Centaur boss really had a distance restriction. Shi Nong's range was about 500 meters, which was enough to dodge the Centaur boss's attack.
But don't count on killing it.
At this thought, Fangzheng glanced at the HP indicator above the Centaur boss's head. Shi Yin's attack had shaved off 50 HP, which was almost negligible, and it instantly recovered to full. This meant that Shi Yin's attack wasn't enough to deal any damage to the Centaur boss. In this case, Shi Yin wouldn't be able to do anything even if she kited the Centaur boss for a year.
But at the very least, it was enough to attract the Centaur boss's attention.
The Centaur boss shook its body again. It was apparent that Shi Yin had launched another attack. This time, the Centaur boss was obviously a little restless, but it was indeed restricted to the edge of the square. Fangzheng watched as the Centaur boss walked to the edge of the Steel City ruins and stopped again. It swayed left and right as though it was blocked by a transparent wall.
That's enough!
"Let's go!"
Fangzheng said, clenching the blade in his hand. Then, he grabbed the button between his hands and pressed hard.
"Whoosh — —!"
The next moment, two steel cables suddenly shot out from the rectangular box on Fangzheng's thighs. They rapidly stabbed into a half-collapsed tower wall dozens of meters away. Following that, with the faint sound of gears, Fangzheng quickly leaped up with Ying Lili on his back. Like a bird, he spread his wings and soared into the sky! 11_11604/
