As for what to do with it after obtaining it, he had not thought about it yet.
Now that his identity was different from before, Lu Li could not hoard it like he did at the beginning of the game. In fact, the Nanmu Ring was completely hyped up. If the merchants did not have enough of it, they would not sell it.
Also, how to distribute it after it was sold was not a problem at all.
No one in the party would need it. Although its attributes were not bad, it was still a Gold-tier equipment.
"I'm a little rusty after not fighting in a dungeon for so long. A little girl like you has to deal with corpses for a living. Just think about it, it's quite pitiful." Canmeng rubbed her little hands together and began her search of corpses again.
"Hurry up and loot it. If you don't, I'll do it," said Xiaoba Jiang as she hugged her dragon.
Her Faerie Dragon was still in a state where she could not ride it for the time being, but it had grown from a small one to a rather large one. When Xiaoba Jiang hugged the dragon, its tail would hang down until it reached her feet. Occasionally, it would drag on the ground because she could not hold it high enough. When that happened, the Faerie Dragon would spit Arcane Fire at Xiaoba Jiang.
"What are you rushing me for? If you keep rushing me, I'll catch and roast your dragon and eat it," snorted Canmeng.
"If you don't rush me, then I won't. Why are you so fierce?" Xiaoba Jiang comforted her baby dragon, afraid that she would scare the baby dragon.
In fact, the Faerie Dragon could not grow big, at least not big enough for a person to ride. However, it was clearly a flying mount. Ever since it ate the dragon blood essence of Eranikus, the Faerie Dragon's size had reached the limit of its growth. Xiaoba Jiang had thought of many ways to increase its size, but to no avail.
However, its shape was much more beautiful, stretching from a meatball to a beautiful line.
If players wanted to ride the Faerie Dragon, they would need to nurture the Flying Skill and the Riding Skill. As the name suggested, the Flying Skill was different from the Riding Skill. The Riding Skill could carry the player on its back and shrink the player to a certain size.
Xiaoba Jiang, who was originally 1.5 meters tall, might shrink to less than 1.2 meters.
This was also the reason why the Great Mage Mowang Feng, who had obtained the Elf Dragon in his previous life, refused to show off this mount. A girl who was 1.2 meters tall was considered cute, but a boy who was 1.2 meters tall was nothing.
"Two Strengthening Stones, one rare material, Serpentine Bone Staff. It looks pretty, but it's a pity that it's Dark Gold and its attributes aren't that great," said Canmeng as she gave a simple evaluation of the equipment she had looted. This little girl was very knowledgeable. She might not be good in other aspects, but she had a good eye for equipment.
"The design is very beautiful. March, do you want it?" Lu Li asked.
This was a Priest item. Even if it wasn't suitable for Sanyue Yu, he still had to ask.
"Forget it, the attributes aren't suitable for me. I'll leave it to you." Sanyue Yu didn't hesitate and immediately shook her head. Although she was a girl, she didn't have much of an opinion about the design of equipment. Many of the things that others thought were beautiful didn't fit her aesthetic standards.
"If Sanyue Yu doesn't want it, then are there any other Magic professions interested?" Lu Li asked.
"I want it. It would look great with my white dress," Kitty Likes Meat said, a little embarrassed. It was a bit too much for her to just use it as an accessory.
Items that were considered average in the eyes of Ruling Sword's First Clear teams would definitely be needed in Ruling Sword's Elite teams.
"If you like it, then take it," Lu Li said as he gave the crystal-clear jade staff to Kitty Likes Meat. In fact, the market for this equipment was indeed for female accessories.
Of course, it was still necessary to deduct points. Otherwise, it would really be too much.
The second piece of equipment was a chain mail pant leg. This was something that Sakura Memories could use. Although it wasn't much of an upgrade, the new equipment had more HP regeneration. It was very suitable for Sakura Memories to level up, so she also spent some points to buy it.
The third item!
"Nanmu Ring. It looks … average, and it's only Gold."
Remnant Dream expressed her disdain. Although Dawn didn't have any clear rules, and the loot didn't necessarily go from bad to good, it was still quite depressing for the last piece of equipment to only be Gold.
"If no one wants this equipment, then give it to me. I have a little use for it," Lu Li said as he coughed twice.
Since the boss had already said so, what else could the others say? Besides, no one really wanted a Gold ring, so this nanmu ring easily fell into the hands of Lu Li.
At most, in a month or so, he should be able to sell it for at least a hundred thousand dollars.
This virtual item was actually more expensive than a normal diamond ring in real life. It was completely hyped up. There was no lack of rich people in the game who were stupid and easily cheated.
After packing up the things, they continued on their way.
They continued up the stairs on the left. After going in and killing a group of Orcs on the stairs, they entered the Flame Guard room. There was a platform in the middle of the room. There were many Orc mages around the platform, charging the fire elemental in the middle.
This was a safe time, and the monsters wouldn't attack.
The premise was that … Weilan Haifeng didn't go and pull the monsters.
Lu Li had completely expected the first team wipe so quickly, but he couldn't remind Weilan Haifeng that these monsters couldn't be attacked. Of course, they had to take care of the monsters. In fact, there were many teams that had been wiped here.
The correct way to pull the monsters was to trigger the fire elemental in the middle, so these charged Orc mages would come up one by one to stop them.
Note that this was done one by one, not all at once. The other mages were still charging, so Lu Li and the others only had to face one of the monsters. If this still led to a team wipe, they could all commit suicide.
The Charged Warlocks were killed one by one, and in the end, only the fire elemental was left.
The fire elemental wasn't a monster, or rather, it wasn't a real monster, so it couldn't be attacked for the time being. Many people didn't know how to trigger the boss. In fact, it was very simple. They just had to push the fire elemental to the side of the altar and let a few mages cast spells on it.
It didn't matter what spell it was, whether it was healing or damage. It didn't matter if it was ice, fire, or shadow.
As the altar was activated by magic, the fire elemental began to expand, and in the end, it turned from a cute little fireball into a ferocious fire elemental monster.
"Haha, as a thank you, let me eat you!" The released monster laughed sinisterly.
According to the current plot, this monster named Emberseer, the Flame Guard Emberseer, was the most loyal servant of Ragnaros, the Lord of the Flames. In a pinnacle battle on the Burning Steppes, he had burned countless Blackrock Orcs into ashes. Unfortunately, Emberseer was defeated in the end. He was imprisoned in the Blackrock Mountain, and the powerful energy in his body was used to speed up the hatching of Nefarian's black dragon eggs.
A fallen phoenix was worse than a chicken, and Emberseer had suffered a lot during this time.
These Orc Warlocks injected shadow energy into its body, and then used it to convert this energy into fire elemental energy, thus achieving the purpose of hatching the dragon eggs.
Don't think that Emberseer would enjoy this process.
If Emberseer was asked what he hated the most now, he would definitely say that he hated the evil energy of Warlocks, especially the energy of Orc Warlocks that was full of negative emotions. Emberseer had been thinking about escaping all day and going home to find his mother.
However, before that, he had to get rid of this group of people who saved him.
One of the quests that Xiaoba Jiang shared with everyone was from Duke Hadaksis, and it required him to kill the Flame Guard Emberseer.
"Get ready for battle, everyone. Don't let your guard down just because it's the first boss," Lu Li reminded everyone in advance. Excluding the previous hidden boss, Emberseer was the first boss of the Blackrock Tower last time. He was a captive who acted as Nefarian's watchdog.
"It should be fine. My fire shield is so high now that even the monkeys can't do anything to me," Weilan Haifeng said.
"Be careful of its evil energy attacks. Just pay attention to your damage reduction," Lu Li revealed a little bit of the key to fighting this boss. Although Emberseer was a fire elemental, his attacks carried evil energy. The source of this evil energy was naturally the Warlocks who imprisoned and charged him.
When players fought a fire elemental, they would subconsciously think that the fire elemental would attack with fire, so they would naturally put on fire resistance equipment.
Fire resistance equipment could greatly reduce fire damage, and correspondingly reduce the damage to other systems. If one was not careful, it was easy to die here. It was not only the main tank, but the other classes were also the same. When an area of effect skill like Flame Nova carried evil energy damage, it was only a matter of time before the whole team was wiped out.
Lu Li's warning in advance did not arouse suspicion.
Although there was no strategy for the upper level of the Blackrock Tower on the market — even if Blood Red War Flag had cleared the dungeon, it would not be shared so early — there was at least some speculation about Emberseer's situation.
Also, there was the group of Orc Warlocks who were charging the boss.
A truly powerful commander would think about the game's design at this time. If they could think of something, they would let the paladins use an area of effect aura that was resistant to evil energy like what Lu Li did.
"Big brother, your attacks are healing the boss. Can you please stop?" Lu Li was helpless.
"Uh, okay, I was wondering why the more I hit him, the more HP he got," Fat Monkey said in embarrassment. Then, he squatted down and drew circles to help curse the Boss, as well as the designers of the game. Although they designed the fire elemental class to be the strongest in Dawnlight, the various conditions were too harsh. Today's boss was even worse. Who would fight a boss that would heal the boss?
"Ranged players, stay more than five yards away. For melee players … Hachi Chan, pay attention to the melee players' HP. Those with more stacks, stay five yards away," Lu Li said.
Most of the fire elementals were covered in a layer of fire. This layer of fire shield not only provided protection for the caster, but also dealt fire damage to units within five yards. In the Nightmare difficulty, the fire damage could even be stacked.
If the fire shield was high enough, there would be more stacks. If the fire shield was not high enough, it was best not to force it.
The solution was simple. All they had to do was run away. As long as they were five yards away from the Flame Guardian, the stacks would gradually decrease until they disappeared.
This way, the damage output of the melee players would be affected. Even Lu Li lost a lot of opportunities to attack because he was running around. His damage output was even lower than Canmeng's.
It was said that Blood Red War Flag replaced almost all the melee classes when fighting this boss.
Lu Li would never do such a thing. He was used to using a fixed number of players. Moreover, this kind of rhythm would only slow down the fight. There was no need to waste the cooldown of others to enter the dungeon. As long as they entered the dungeon to fight the boss, those who were replaced would not be able to enter the dungeon during the cooldown period.
The first stage was mainly a process where the boss abused the main tank. As long as the other players were not burned to death by the fire shield, they would not be in danger.
"I can't hold on much longer." Weilan Haifeng was very depressed. He felt that he was already ridiculously strong, but why was it that every time he stood in front of the boss, he was like a piece of dough that the boss could twist and turn.
"Even if you can't hold on, you still have to. This is only the first boss. If you can't hold on, why do we need you?"
"You bastard, why don't you do it yourself?"
"Haha, you're a tank. You better be prepared to take a beating at any time," Lu Li shouted. "Don't just talk. Use your damage reduction skills. Can't you see that there are so many stacks of fire damage on you?"
"Wander, let's switch. I want to go and get rid of all these stacks," Weilan Haifeng shouted.
"I don't care if you live or die." Although he sounded arrogant, Wander still used Taunt to pull the boss, giving Weilan Haifeng a chance to run away and get rid of the fire shield's damage.
The second stage appeared when Emberseer's HP dropped to 60%.
This stage was very simple, at least in Lu Li's opinion. They just had to deal a certain amount of damage to the boss within a certain amount of time.
If they couldn't achieve this, the boss would use Flame Nova to burn all targets within a 50-yard radius. The damage was very high, and almost no one could survive it. Therefore, they had to fight the boss to the third stage within a certain amount of time. This way, the Flame Nova skill would be dead before it could be used.
This was also the reason why Lu Li didn't ask everyone to use their Burst Skills in the first stage.
"Activate Bloodlust. Everyone, use whatever burst skills you have. Don't worry about going Berserk later on." Berserk was very dangerous, and there was a chance that the whole team would be wiped. However, if they couldn't get to the third stage quickly, then they would definitely be wiped. There was no need to weigh the pros and cons.
In the first stage, Lu Li and the other melee players didn't use their damage reduction skills. If they couldn't hold on, they would just hide in the corner.
Now that they were at a critical moment, they didn't need to be stingy with their damage reduction skills. In order to deal more damage, Lu Li used everything he had, just so he could hit the boss a few more times.
In just three minutes, Emberseer's HP dropped to 30%.
This was a full two minutes faster than the five-minute limit that Lu Li remembered. This showed the strength of Ruling Sword's group. Moreover, this was the result of one player being idle. Throughout the entire process, Fei Houzi, a Fire Mage, was squatting in the distance and yawning in boredom.
"Alright, it's now the third stage. Everyone, don't be too anxious. Use your cooldown damage reduction skills as much as possible to deal with the Boss' Berserk," Lu Li said.
He didn't think that this stage meant that they had succeeded. The Fire Elementals themselves had a berserk temperament, and when they went Berserk, they probably wouldn't pretend to be weak. This type of Fire Mage was often used to deal area of effect damage, and when they went Berserk, they would be able to instantly kill a large number of people.
It was good to have a strong Main Tank. Weilan Haifeng could steadily pull the Boss to give everyone a breather. If it was a weak Tank from other clubs, they would often need other classes to kite the Boss and fight for space for them.
This was the same for casual players. If they were a strong Main Tank, there would be a lot of people inviting them to join their team every day.
On the other hand, if their Main Tank was too weak, others would definitely try to avoid them. They might even go on the forums and be criticized by others. The title would always be that some weak Tank had done a lot of harm to the team, and the team had been wiped dozens of times.
After a little more than two minutes, Lu Li announced that everyone could go all out.
