"Open!" Lu Li shouted as soon as he saw a circle of light appear beneath the spiders' feet.
Xiao Mo had also noticed the abnormality of the two bosses. A large, semi-circular shield quickly formed around him. The others didn't even need to be instructed to immediately activate their movement speed or jump to hide within the shield.
The paralysis toxin quickly spread across the field.
This toxin was different from Poison Spray. Poison Spray had a certain direction. As long as those with higher Poison Resistance stood in front, the others would be able to reduce or avoid the damage.
The paralysis toxin's specialty was that it spread through the air. It was silent and impossible to defend against.
Its effects were damage and paralysis. It was known as the team killer. A normal team would have to die at least a few times before they could figure out the pattern of the toxin. They would then have to use their damage reduction skills or heal themselves to barely clear the stage.
However, with the existence of Xiao Mo's group damage reduction shield, the situation immediately changed.
Sorrowless was the one who had contributed the most to this Boss. He had made the third stage a piece of cake for them. The two spiders were quickly defeated by everyone. It could be predicted that if Glory Capital entered this Dungeon in the future, they would have a great advantage here.
Actually, this was just what everyone thought.
Even without Xiao Mo's shield, Lu Li still had a way to get everyone through this stage. He just didn't want to reveal it so easily.
The equipment that the two bosses dropped was quite average. There were no Epic items. There were a few Dark Gold items that were randomly distributed. However, there was a skill book that was quite good for Warlocks. In the end, it was rolled by Phantom Crystal.
"Your outstanding performance has made today's arena very interesting." Adjudicator Gladstone appeared again. His laughter was exceptionally piercing. Unfortunately, there was no way to attack him.
This guy had been famous for his fairness ever since the era of the Mountain King, Modimus Anvilmar.
Anvilmar's death had caused the three tribes to go against each other. Adjudicator Gladstone had followed the Iron King. He had once dreamed of using his fairness to push the Iron Dwarves to the pinnacle of power.
However, after the War of the Three Hammers, the Iron King had become a slave to the Fire Elemental due to his foolishness. Today, Gladstone no longer had the ambition he once had. All he had left was watching the captives die in various ways in the arena.
It was the Eye that was summoned again.
The origin of the Demonic Eye was still a secret. No one knew how it came here. There was a legend that the Demonic Eye was once a human, a werewolf. The Beholder relied on the powerful swipes of his front claws to gouge out the eyes of one opponent after another.
Lu Li felt a toothache when he saw this monster.
Although there was no such thing as having one's eyes gouged out in the game, for the sake of the game's virtual reality, a similar effect was designed. After being successfully attacked by the Eye Piercing skill of the Beholder, the player would be blinded for thirty seconds.
This was the time when players were most likely to die.
As for why, Lu Li had no intention of telling them in advance. He decided to let everyone experience it for themselves first.
In the first phase, the Demonic Eye was just a normal werewolf boss. At most, it had a high attack and a lot of critical hits. With Weilan Haifeng's abilities, it was easy for him to tank the monster. In the second phase, the werewolf transformed into a wizard, summoning a pool of poisonous water under the players' feet. The players had to quickly leave the poisonous water, or else they would quickly lose health and turn into corpses.
The poisoned players were also contagious. As long as they were infected, both players would lose health at the same time.
In fact, the second phase wasn't that difficult. Everyone was a professional player, so there was no lag in their mechanics. When they saw the poisonous water, they would immediately run away.
The real difficulty was in the third phase.
"F * ck, I can't see, I can't see," Green Flag Wine, who was usually calm and collected, started to yell. Anyone would be flustered if they suddenly lost their vision. In the eyes of the other teammates, the moment they lost their vision, poisonous water appeared under Green Flag Wine's feet.
"Run, run forward!" Lu Li shouted.
Unfortunately, the panicking Green Flag Wine couldn't react in time. He was quickly killed by the poisonous water. Then it was Elevenless' turn …
"What do we do?" The team had been wiped so helplessly. The star players all looked at Lu Li as if he was the light that would guide the way forward. Not everyone could follow the instructions to escape from the poisonous water when they couldn't see. This was especially true for the girls, as their mental fortitude was much weaker.
"It's actually very simple," Lu Li said as he looked at the players with disdain. "Team up in pairs. Once one of them is blinded, the other one will pull him and run."
"It's that simple?" Sea Breaker was on the verge of tears. This star player, who was already lacking in confidence, was starting to doubt his life.
"You'll know after you try," Lu Li said confidently.
After giving it a try, the Bewildered was instantly killed. The third stage of blinding could indeed be avoided by someone else's guidance. Once the poisonous water could be avoided, the rest was as easy as hitting a wooden pole.
"Let's not loot the corpse for now. Let's recover our MP and HP." Lu Li sat down cross-legged and started to apply poison on his dagger.
The rhythm of the arena was also the main reason why the team was wiped. When a Boss fell, another Boss would be summoned almost instantaneously. Not only was it physically and mentally exhausting, but more importantly, the endurance of the Mage class was severely challenged.
Cultivator Gorosh, this orc who called himself Cultivator Gorosh, had reached the arena of the Blackrock Abyss on his own and made a crazy request to stay here to train. Adjudicator Gladstone realized that this big guy with greenish-gray skin was not an ordinary person, so he agreed to let him stay.
This Boss was a standard Berserker with a signature skill, Whirlwind Slash, and a Bloodlust skill.
His Mortal Strike was also a very troublesome skill. After being hit by Mortal Strike, not only would the players suffer double the damage, but the effects of healing would also be reduced by 50%. This meant that a healing skill that could heal 300 HP could only heal 150 HP.
Lu Li and the others spent nearly half an hour, wiping once along the way, before finally defeating the Boss.
The next Boss was called Lafferty.
He was more difficult to deal with than Gurosh, the Cultivator, because he was a Gnome Thief.
He was a left-handed Gnome Thief with a cute pink beard, but do not underestimate him. The pink beard was just a facade he used to deceive his opponents. When facing an enemy, his left hand would often attack more fiercely than his right hand. Other than that, you had to be careful of his various tricks.
