Whoosh!
Another ball of Phosphorescence appeared. This time, everyone could finally see the monster's information.
[Blind Killer Hezar] (Gold-grade Leader, Humanoid)
Level: 78
Health Points: 7,800,000
Armor Points: 1,400
Everyone attacked the boss one after another.
However, the hall was simply too dark. Moreover, the door to the hall had automatically closed after the battle began. Not even a speck of light could be seen. All that was left was endless darkness. They could not even tell which way was north, south, east, and west!
After the Phosphorescence flashed, the hall became pitch-black again. Everyone was blinded. The melee classes were fine. They just needed to find the right spot and attack as long as the boss did not move. However, the ranged classes were in trouble. They needed to first aim and lock onto their target before they could accurately deliver their attacks!
Hunters were slightly better off. At worst, they could just blindly shoot. However, most Magicians' attack spells required a chant time. Narcissus Bloom could not see the boss halfway through her chant. This meant that the boss was blocking her line of sight, forcibly interrupting her spell!
"How are we supposed to fight this? We don't even know where the boss is!" The three ranged classes complained incessantly.
Zhang Yang was also completely relying on his intuition. Fortunately, the boss did not know how to move like players. After Zhang Yang pulled aggro, the boss waved its two sharp swords at Zhang Yang non-stop. If the boss could be controlled by players, in such an advantageous environment, it could kill the players hundreds of times over!
Whoosh!
The Phosphorescence lit up again. The three ranged classes hurriedly used this time to attack, throwing arrows and fireballs.
However, the Phosphorescence only lasted for three or four seconds. Most of the time, everyone was blindly attacking in the darkness! Fortunately, with the existence of the party attack mode, they did not have to worry about accidentally injuring their own people.
Although the dark environment greatly weakened everyone's attack power, as long as the tank and healer were strong enough, it was not too difficult to kill the boss! And Zhang Yang and Han Yingxue just happened to be such a strong tank and healer!
A minute after the battle began, Zhang Yang slashed his sword in the darkness, but his sword slashed through empty air. He did not touch anything at all! He could not help but exclaim, "The boss has disappeared!"
Sun Xinyu and the others' attacks also missed. In this absolutely dark environment, they all had a feeling that they didn't dare to take a step forward. They were afraid that there would suddenly be a wall in front of them, or a hundred feet deep abyss under their feet!
Zhang Yang immediately said, "Everyone, gather around me, quickly!"
He had already established his absolute authority, so there was no need for him to explain anything. Everyone trusted him and walked towards him. It didn't matter if he couldn't see it, as long as he walked in the direction of the sound!
"The boss is a Thief-type monster. It must have used its Vanish skill! Do you still remember the Thief boss we fought before? Every time we went into Stealth mode, the aggro would be cleared when we came out! If you are suddenly attacked later, don't move, let me pull first! "Zhang Yang said.
After five to six seconds, Han Yingxue suddenly let out a cry of pain. From the party panel, it could be seen that her HP had dropped by a huge chunk!
Thunder Strike!
Zhang Yang had never trained to fight in the dark. It was too difficult to rely on sound to determine the enemy's position! However, Thunderbolt Bash dealt AoE damage. As long as the enemy was within the area of effect, they would definitely take damage. This was also the reason why Zhang Yang wanted everyone to surround him!
-756！
Although they couldn't see the boss's figure, a damage number jumped up!
"Ah, damned bastard, I just wanted to play hide-and-seek with you guys. Why did you have to hurt me? Why?! " Hezar let out an angry roar and once again found Zhang Yang, swinging his two longswords wildly at him.
"Hunters, retreat three meters. As long as you can deal damage, it's fine. Narcissus can stand with the melee classes so that they don't have to move around later. Everyone, try to form a circle!" Zhang Yang ordered as he held the boss back.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Balls of phosphorescence floated up from time to time. Everyone attacked in this dim environment, and their efficiency was very low. Moreover, the boss would occasionally disappear, hiding for a while before coming out to ambush them. Fortunately, Zhang Yang's response was correct, and because everyone's equipment was good enough, they all had over 17,000 HP. They didn't need to worry about being one-shot by the boss. One Thunder Strike was enough to pull the aggro back and put everything back on track.
The battle continued unabated.
"Ding! Hezar has unleashed Fan of Blades! "
With the sound of a system notification, the boss's body suddenly exploded with countless flashes of light. Like a sword formation from a cultivation novel, they flew toward everyone.
Damage numbers of around 7,000 jumped up above everyone's heads. Everyone had taken two hits, losing at least 14,000 HP! Thankfully, their equipment was top-notch, and their HP was over 17,000. Otherwise, no matter how many people came, they would all be dead!
At this moment, Hezar disappeared again!
Han Yingxue hurriedly used all her healing power, throwing out Rain of Healing, Allied Healing, Holy Barrier, and so on.
After fighting for so long, Zhang Yang had a certain understanding of the boss' attack pattern. Every time he disappeared, he would reappear within three to eight seconds!
1, 2!
Zhang Yang calculated in his mind and decisively activated Selfless Shield!
After adjusting the skill, Selfless Shield was now like a halo. With Zhang Yang as the center, it radiated a protective shield with a radius of three meters. Everyone's HP was very low. Although Han Yingxue's healing ability was powerful, there was no way she could bring everyone's HP back to 14,000 in a short amount of time. If they were targeted by the boss, they would definitely die!
* Whoosh! *
Three seconds later, Hezar emerged from the shadows. With a sneak attack, he knocked out One Hundred Shots, and two longswords simultaneously slashed at his back.
-703！
-718！
Zhang Yang stomped on the ground, activating Thunderous Bash and dealing damage to the boss. He instantly pulled Hezar's aggro back.
One Hundred Shots breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness it's a Combat Master. If it were anyone else, the boss would've already killed off all the damage and healers!"
Infinite Starlight hurriedly said, "Uncle One Hundred Shots, don't forget me! I'm also a powerful tank!"
"Starlight also has great potential, but he's just a little bit lacking compared to a Combat Master!" One Hundred Shots encouraged.
"How much is a little bit?"
"…"
Infinite Starlight truly was not bad. Once the boss disappeared, he would cast Consecration in the middle of the team. As long as the boss appeared nearby, he would take damage, allowing him to immediately pull the boss's aggro. However, while Consecration's overall damage was very high, it lasted for ten seconds. It could not compare to Thunderous Bash, which was a one-time deal, so the aggro would always be on Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang said, "I have a feeling that if the China server has a ranking of the Ten Great Tanks or Ten Great Mages, Starlight will definitely be on it in the future!"
Unbounded Starlight immediately smiled delightedly.
"Then this lady will definitely be the leader of the Ten Great Berserkers!" Wei Yan'er was unwilling to pass on this responsibility.
Zhang Yang heartily laughed. "Little girl, it's hard to say if you can make it to the Ten Great Berserkers, but one of us will definitely be the leader of the Ten Great Cows!"
"Idiot!" Han Yingxue was flustered.
Fortunately, Infinite Starlight had also learned Selfless Shield, and Zhang Yang could use Standby Reload to reset the cooldowns of all his skills, allowing him to use Selfless Shield three times in a short period of time. Meanwhile, Hezar used Fan of Blades every time he lost 20% of his health. When the team managed to bring the boss's health down to 20%, the boss used Fan of Blades and Vanish to ambush and kill off one of their members.
But now, the boss could only wait to be abused!
Fourteen minutes later … Hezar let out a wretched scream as he collapsed to the ground.
"You … are too fierce. I just wanted to play … hide … and … seek … with you!" The boss breathed his last.
With the boss' death, the dark hall was instantly illuminated. It was as if all the light had been absorbed by the boss. Now that Hezar was dead, light had finally returned to the world.
"We finally killed it!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Han Yingxue used Redemption to pull the unlucky Fatty Han up.
"How many more floors are there?"
Zhang Yang thought about it, then said, "Probably four. Any higher and we'll reach the last floor!"
"Let's split the equipment first!"
No matter what equipment dropped, no matter if they could use it or not, the moment they opened the corpse was always the most anticipated.
Wei Yan'er did not pass on this responsibility and ran off to pick up the loot.
Chain of Immortality (Gold-grade, Necklace)
Stamina: + 59
Strength: + 30
Agility: + 30
Equipment: Increases your critical strike rate by 1%.
Level Requirement: 70
"This is pretty good!" Zhang Yang nodded and casually clicked Give Up. This was a necklace for physical damage classes.
In this party, no one needed to be polite. If they wanted equipment, they could ask for it. After a round of tossing, the necklace was taken by Fatty Han.
Bramble Gloves (Gold-grade, Leather Armor)
Armor: + 24
Stamina: + 118
Strength: + 47
Agility: + 109
Level Requirement: 70
Even though this was a Level 70 Gold-grade glove, it was the best leather glove for a Level 70 player. Unfortunately, both Thieves and Hunters had set equipment, so they couldn't bear to remove the set's effects. As a result, this glove could only be sold in the shop.
Zhang Yang could not help but nod. No wonder equipment sets were so rare in the future! This was because the effects of the equipment set were too strong. For example, this Level 60 Gold-grade equipment set could easily support players to Level 80 and then change to Purple Gold equipment. Even Level 80 Gold-grade equipment might not be able to compete with a Level 60 equipment set!
As a result, the players' desire to farm equipment was greatly reduced, causing Level 70 equipment to be very awkward.
"Oh right, go out with Brother Fatty tomorrow!" Fatty Han suddenly whispered to Zhang Yang.
"What?"
"Matchmaking!"
Zhang Yang almost fell down. "You're really going to matchmaking?"
"Hehe, I just registered on the website. There's a huge matchmaking event tomorrow, so I'll go and take a look!"
"Then why did you call me?"
"Brother Fatty is a bit embarrassed to be alone!"
Zhang Yang almost fainted. "Your skin is so thick that it can be used as a city wall. I can't believe you're afraid of matchmaking. I really lost to you!"
"F * ck, we're brothers for life. Are you going to help me or not?"
"Okay okay okay. You can drive to pick me up tomorrow!"
"7 pm. I'll be waiting for Brother Fatty!"
"Scram!"
Hezar did not drop anything particularly good. It was no wonder. Although he was a Gold-grade Boss, he was not the gatekeeper Boss of Bloodmoon Castle. Only the boss of the red-skinned Beastmen, Pyrrho, would drop something good!
The party continued forward and quickly reached the fourth floor of the castle.
Although the type of monsters had been changed to shield-wielding guards, they were still of little use under the suppression of the party's powerful firepower. Soon, the party had cleared the hall on this floor.
At the very center of the hall was a metal cage. Inside it was a female elf in a long white dress. Her figure was slender and graceful, her breasts high, and her soft hair fell all the way to her hips.
When Zhang Yang saw the character information above the female elf's head, he almost laughed out loud!
This female elf was Melinda of the Forest Song!
In the Underground Tower, she was a captive. In the Frozen Temple, she was a captive. In this Bloodmoon Castle, she was still a captive!
This NPC was definitely a professional captive! I should have known it was her!
"You … Battlemaster! The Moon God above, she has sent a warrior to save me! "Melinda looked at the party, especially Zhang Yang, and immediately became extremely excited.
Everyone was surprised. It had to be said that although they interacted with NPCs every day, low-level NPCs did not have the ability to 'remember'. They could only communicate with the players according to their programming. But high-level NPCs were different. They were like intelligent humans. Every action and word of a player would affect the NPCs' view of the player. They could be said to have 'feelings'.
It was very rare to see an NPC that could 'recognize people'. Their high intelligence was no different from that of a player.
Zhang Yang walked up and said, "Melinda, why are you here?"
"I found the treasure of my race, the Prophecy Staff, and sent someone to deliver it to the holy land of the elves, Atlanna, in the Zone of Chaos. Who knew that my race's elder would think that I was the next Moon Priestess appointed by the Moon God and sent someone to ask me to return to the holy land to inherit the position of Moon Priestess! But when I passed through here, I was captured by these red-skinned Orcs! "Melinda looked at Zhang Yang and said," My warrior, you must save me! "
"Tsk, stupid Battlemaster, this NPC beauty seems to be interested in you!" Han Yingxue said unhappily.
"… You're jealous of an NPC?"
"Who's jealous! Hmph! "
This pitiful Melinda. She was a Gold-ranked Boss now, so why was she still being captured by others?
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely save you!"
Melinda nodded confidently and said, "The key to open the lock is with the Orc Commander Piro. You must defeat him to obtain the key!"
"Ding! Melinda's impression of you has increased! "
