Only now did everyone realize that this Instance Dungeon did not seem to be so perfect.
Especially for people like them who had eaten delicacies like Blackwing's Nest, saying that Zul 'Gurub was like a small bowl of porridge was an exaggeration.
Lu Li did not say anything, but he did not have similar thoughts.
"We might have missed the First Kill for this Boss. Otherwise, it wouldn't have only dropped one Legendary item, so let's speed up." Lu Li asked in a voice full of temptation, "Did you not see the two new Mounts in the official promotional video?"
"Yeah, two new Mounts. I just don't know what the drop rate is like." At this moment, everyone realized that this Instance Dungeon was not without good things.
At this point in the game, things like Mounts were not rare.
However, most people were riding the most common kind. Truly good Mounts could only be obtained after spending a lot of effort, such as Lu Li's Headless Horseman's Rein Warhorse. However, these kinds of Mounts were still very rare. Today, most of the people in the team were still riding the most common warhorses.
Everyone recalled the dragon and tiger in the official promotional video and immediately felt their hearts heat up.
"I'm not sure about the drop rate, but I don't think it's high. Only the First Kill Boss has a high chance of getting it, so let's all work harder. The entire Blackwing's Nest didn't drop a single Mount. What's there to be dissatisfied with?" Lu Li said.
Everyone immediately became spirited. Two Mounts were not enough for everyone to share, but it was good to see.
"I just don't know how many Bosses the other clubs have killed. This Instance Dungeon's difficulty is a bit low." Wander was still more rational, unlike Weilan Haifeng who always thought that he was the best in the world.
"It's already not bad to be able to kill the first Boss. The other clubs don't have Yeh 'kinya's potions, and I still have a team buff on me. Don't underestimate this Instance Dungeon. After all, it's a First Kill on Nightmare Difficulty. You'll all be crying later," Lu Li said.
"Hehe, I think the harder the Instance Dungeon, the better." Weilan Haifeng had already become arrogant.
"There's someone in Blackwing's Nest who almost cried from the beating, and now he's boasting shamelessly again." The Wander sneered.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it wasn't me," Weilan Haifeng denied.
Very soon, they reached the end of the bat area. The next area was the poisonous snake area. The high-ranking priest, Venoxis, was stationed here with his poisonous tongue minions. The God of Poisonous Tongue, Hesis, was their target of worship.
In fact, in the background story of Dawnlight's world, there were quite a few sharp-tongued Gods.
For example, the Hydra God Gaz 'ridian, the Viper God Siletus, and the Wind Serpent God Questruen. Hakkar was actually also a Wind Serpent God. The trolls' long and chaotic history made their pantheon very complicated, and most of the gods had actually died long ago.
The trolls in this area came from the Sandfury tribe.
Before the ancient war thousands of years ago, the Sandfury trolls used to be one of the tribes of the Gurubashi Empire. The Cataclysm caused the Jungle trolls to split up, and a portion of the trolls, who were in a dilemma, stayed in Tanaris, which was beginning to turn into a desert. In the end, their appearance was changed by the merciless desert into what they looked like today. Now, they looked different from the Jungle trolls. Tanaris was not a peaceful territory. Threats from all sides caused the Sandfury trolls to fall into a predicament, and they tried their best to defend their last territory.
The Sandfury trolls had a new war with countless invaders, and this endless war caused their tribe to gradually decline.
This time, the high-ranking priest of the Sandfury trolls, Venoxis, hoped to be able to obtain the tribe's new hope in Zul 'Agbu, which was once a land of glory.
Similar to their Sandfury brethren in Zul 'Farrak, the trolls here also liked to use poison.
Because of his foresight, Lu Li had already prepared a very high-grade antidote. At this time, it was just the right time to distribute it. Actually, Paladins, Shamans, and Druids could all detoxify, but the monsters here seemed to be continuously throwing poison. If they all went to detoxify, it would definitely reduce everyone's efficiency in fighting monsters.
"When you're pulling the monster, turn your back to the crowd," Lu Li reminded.
Weilan Haifeng obediently turned the monster that was spewing poison around. This way, only his head and face were sprayed.
The Sandfury trolls here were also different from Zul 'Farrak.
It could even be said that these trolls made this Instance Dungeon completely different. The rare small monsters in Zul 'Gurub that were wiped out basically all appeared in this place.
As everyone knew, Berserkers were famous for their Whirlwind skill. In the current version, Berserkers basically relied on this skill to explode crazily. After the Whirlwind was turned, they would either die or escape, unless it was an extremely skilled existence like Moonlight, who could cut people into pieces with just normal attacks.
The trolls here had a similar skill.
They also spun crazily, but unlike Berserkers, they would continuously shoot javelins as they spun.
The damage of these javelins was not high. Even a Mage could take four or five hits without dying. If they ignored it like this, it would really be fatal. These javelins were very fast, and they also had a knockdown effect. When players accidentally walked into the attack range of these small monsters, they would start spinning crazily without saying a word.
Without saying a word, they began to spin wildly, knocking down the players with their javelins one after another.
Then, they would not be able to use their skills, and they would be interrupted. It would also be very difficult to escape. If they were already down, how could they run? Even if they crawled on the ground, the javelins would still hit them. What if there were four of these Sandfury trolls throwing javelins at you? Javelins were an area of effect skill. As long as you were within the attack range, no matter how many people there were, you would be hit by four javelins at the same time.
In his previous life, the first time Lu Li came here, his whole team had been wiped out.
That was why he was very clear on how to deal with this skill of the trolls. He immediately shouted, "Mages, leave the battle range and turn them into sheep."
High-level Mages liked equipment that stored skills. Fei Houzi's ring had such a special effect. He pointed at the monsters and immediately, one of them became a little sheep.
Four became three, and the density of the javelins decreased.
Qingcheng Yun used Blink to escape the attack range of the monsters. With a wave of his hand, he turned the closest troll guard into a sheep. In the end, there were only two left. The other two Mages were finally able to climb up from the ground and escape.
Not every battle would be so difficult. When the players were mentally prepared, they would first let the Mages turn the four monsters into sheep. After killing the other monsters, they would go back and deal with the more troublesome Spinning Trolls one by one. With the strength of Lu Li's team, there would not be any casualties.
If it were other clubs, they would probably need to use a long time to try and control these monsters.
Anyway, the stun would not work. Lu Li had already used facts to prove this point. The monsters that were stunned by him were already spinning on the spot, and the density and shooting speed of the javelins did not decrease at all. The other skills like Frost Nova and Fear would also not work.
If they were lucky, they might be able to use Polymorph correctly.
If they were unlucky, they might think that these monsters would not be controlled. That would be really bad. Even if these monsters were not wiped out, it would at least take a long time to slowly kill a small team.
Lu Li and the others did not waste much time. Very soon, they saw the second Boss – High Priest Venoxis!
This was a male troll with typical light blue skin.
What was more peculiar was his hair. It was tied into a small braid that stood straight up. It looked very ethnic.
The difficulty of this Boss was not too high. At least, Lu Li felt that if they did not find a way to control the small monsters, those troll guards that could turn and throw javelins would easily cause a team wipe.
Just like the previous first Boss, this Boss was actually also divided into two stages.
In the first stage, Venoxis fought as a humanoid monster.
"You guys have interfered with Gurubashi's plan. Come and bear this deadly poison." He shouted loudly, and then madly sprayed poison everywhere.
He had four little brothers, all of which were venomous snake monsters. They were very tall. After a team wipe battle, everyone realized that these monsters would become especially powerful when they were together with the Boss. Moreover, the Boss could even cooperate with them.
Lu Li decisively asked the Sorcerer to control these four small monsters, while the Main Tank was responsible for pulling the Boss far away.
If they did not pull away, the Boss would help his little brothers to remove the control magic.
They killed the small monsters first. After killing the small monsters, there was only High Priest Venoxis, the lone old general.
High Priest Venoxis' poison was very powerful. Moreover, the players' poison could not be removed by their companions' skills. No matter if it was a Paladin, Shaman or Druid, they could not do anything about this poison.
At this time, the antidote that had been prepared in advance could play its role.
Although these antidotes could not completely remove the poison, everyone quickly discovered to their surprise that at least it could reduce the poison damage. This was already very good for the current situation.
The other clubs might have been poisoned to death in the first stage.
However, Lu Li's first attack still ended in failure. The reason for the team wipe was very strange.
When the Healing Professions, especially the Priests, healed their teammates, the Holy Magic energy that they used their skills would be absorbed by the Boss. Then, this energy would accumulate to a certain extent and be released by the Boss.
It would first be used on the nearest person, then it would jump to the second, the third …
The damage was higher and higher. Not long after, this damage was high to the point where it could instantly kill players. After killing people, this energy still did not disappear. It continued to look for targets to instantly kill.
After the team wipe, everyone discussed it for a while and came to a helpless conclusion.
The Priests had to move further away. There was also the Healing Paladin. They had to stay as far away from the Boss as possible. This was not the end. In order to not let this jumping damage snowball, the melee professions also had to move further away.
In the end, it created a very ridiculous situation.
One Main Tank tanked the monster, the other group of ranged professions were attacking, and the melee professions were watching from afar.
