No matter how much Princess Huhuran resembled a bumblebee, she was still a very difficult and powerful Boss.
In the first few times they were wiped, Lu Li and the others didn't even manage to test out a few useful skills. They didn't even know how to adjust the class allocation of the team. Time was constantly being wasted. Fortunately, he had brought everyone to watch the competition, so everyone was still in a relatively good mood.
Lu Li wasn't in a hurry. After all, this Instance Dungeon was very difficult. If they were slow, the other clubs would only be slower.
The other guilds he was talking about were not in a hurry to attack the new Boss. Instead, they pulled together a chat room to chat. The Capital of Glory, Seventh Heaven, Blood Red War Flag, Azure Guard, Wings of Dawn, Purple Lunar Paradise, and The Capital of Glory's branch, Gale Legion.
There were also some other clubs who had also completed the opening quest, but because they didn't manage to defeat the Lucky Three Treasures, they were directly excluded.
"So, you guys didn't defeat the third Boss?" Jade Flower Lover asked.
Their Blood Red War Flag had defeated the third Boss and was one step ahead of The Capital of Glory, but Jade Flower Lover wasn't happy at all. Judging from the equipment drops, the third Boss was obviously no longer a virgin.
"I already said that we didn't defeat it. It's up to you whether you believe me or not," Xiao Mo said impatiently.
"Sigh, I always thought that you guys were ahead," Jade Flower Lover sighed. He smiled bitterly and said, "So, Lu Li obviously wasn't telling the truth. When we asked him when we defeated the second Boss, he said that he had just defeated the first Boss."
"We defeated the second Boss the day before you guys. At that time, it wasn't the First Clear anymore," Xiao Mo said.
"F * ck, you liar," Jade Flower Lover scolded Lu Li.
"You didn't drag us in just to listen to you curse, did you?" Azure Guard's Floral Paralysis was puzzled. He didn't understand what Jade Flower Lover meant.
"I came to this chat room to discuss how to cooperate with you." Jade Flower Lover perked up and began to speak with fervor and assurance.
He first analyzed Ruling Sword's progress and thought that Ruling Sword had probably already defeated the third Boss, and were now fighting the fourth or even the fifth Boss. This meant that although Ruling Sword had entered the Instance Dungeon later, their progress was still faster than everyone else's.
"Although everyone doesn't believe it, since Glory Capital wasn't able to take the third Boss, who took the First Clear on the third Boss before Blood Red War Flag?" Lucky Southern Persian asked. "I'd rather believe that it was Ruling Sword than some other club that came out of nowhere and took the First Clear."
"It can't be the other clubs. I've analyzed and asked around. Currently, only a few of us have taken down the second Boss," Jade Flower Lover said.
"How do you want to cooperate?" Floral Paralysis asked.
"We can share the strategy for the third Boss. Everyone can work together to defeat the fourth Boss, then the fifth … the sixth …" Jade Flower Lover said.
"Wait, are you that good?" Floral Paralysis didn't believe him.
"I don't really believe it either. Flower Lover bro, don't try to fool us. Who doesn't know you?" Dream 13 was a little naive, but he wasn't stupid. When he came, he and his brother Elevenless agreed that none of them were good people.
"Haha, I have two plans," Jade Flower Lover said with a smile.
This guy often compared himself to Kong Ming and liked to play tricks. Everyone knew him very well, so no one responded to him.
He could only continue to explain, "The first is for us to work together until we reach the final Boss. When that time comes, we'll see who can take the First Clear of this Instance Dungeon. The second is for us to take turns to take the First Clear. For example, if Blood Red War Flag takes it this time, then next time …"
"Stop!" Dream 13 interrupted him. "Why should Blood Red War Flag take it this time?"
"Big Bro, we've already defeated the third Boss. What about you? Where are you now? Come, come, tell everyone. If your progress is faster than us, I'll put Blood Red War Flag at the back."
"Bullsh * t. We're about to defeat the third Boss," Dream 13 said disdainfully.
"Anyway, we're faster than you. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Jade Flower Lover suppressed his temper and worked hard to fight for the rights of his club.
"Haha, what's so good about a man being fast? I like being slow," Dream 13 said shamelessly.
"You're the one who's fast. Your whole family is fast." Jade Flower Lover was so angry that he almost emitted smoke. How could this little bastard be compared to them, the game bosses? He hated this kind of arrogant second-generation gamer the most.
"If you guys are going to get together and quarrel, then I'll leave first. The Capital of Glory isn't interested in your proposal," Xiao Mo said as he left the chat room.
How could a proud person like him be willing to work for them?
"Sigh, Thirteen, you b * tch." Jade Flower Lover felt a headache coming on.
"I think that's a good proposal, but I choose the first method of cooperation," Lucky Southern Persian said.
"Alright, alright. Since Southern Persian has spoken, I'll listen to him," Dream 13 said listlessly. Their club was indeed lagging behind. Since Jade Flower Lover was going to deliver the strategy to them, why wouldn't they accept it?
"Wendelian, what does Gale Legion say?" Jade Flower Lover counted the remaining people in the chat room and found that there was a snitch among them.
Gale Legion was a branch of The Capital of Glory. If they were here, then wouldn't The Capital of Glory know about the strategy that everyone had developed?
"I only represent Gale Legion. Do you think we're not qualified to cooperate with you?" Wendelian asked coldly.
"Can you guarantee that you won't share the strategy with The Capital of Glory?" Jade Flower Lover felt a headache coming on. Although Gale Legion was a branch of The Capital of Glory in name, they were very strong. They weren't much weaker than the people here. He really didn't have the confidence to say that Gale Legion wasn't qualified.
"Yes, I promise," Wendelian said decisively.
Jade Flower Lover: …
Dream 13: …
Lucky Southern Persian: …
Everyone else: …
"Hehe, Xiao Mo is such a proud person. How could he take the strategy from me? I said that this dungeon won't be shared with The Capital of Glory, so it definitely won't be shared with The Capital of Glory. Do you not believe in Xiao Mo's pride, or do you not believe in my character? If you don't have the sincerity to cooperate, then I'll leave too," Wendelian said firmly.
"Wait, I believe you," Jade Flower Lover quickly stopped her.
One club had already left. If another one left, then what was the point of this temporary alliance?
Several clubs quickly saw the information that Jade Flower Lover had shared about the third Boss. The strategy was still a bit rough, but it wasn't difficult for any club to turn this information into an official strategy.
They also agreed on the content of the cooperation for the next Boss.
Everyone shared information and worked together.
Jade Flower Lover was indeed a talent. He sacrificed a little to tie everyone together to resist the pressure of Ruling Sword's Instance Dungeon progress.
At this time, Ruling Sword had slowly begun to understand some of the patterns of Huhuran's skills.
From the monster model of this princess, those green spots could reflect that a large part of the princess' damage was poison.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Its most common skill was Poison Dart.
The princess' Poison Dart was similar to the Green Dragon in the wild. It could be stacked and couldn't be dispelled, but its high resistance allowed it to directly resist the Poison Dart. The Poison Dart dealt natural damage and could be stacked up to four times. Each Poison Dart dealt 700 damage each time. When four Poison Dart stacked on a target, the target would take 2800 damage each time.
If they couldn't be saved in time, this would be equivalent to a killing move.
Natural Spit was another of her skills. It dealt area of effect damage, but if the resistance was high enough, it could also be resisted.
Her Flying Dragon Spike was also a natural spell that caused the target to fall asleep. If the sleep was dispelled, the target would take 4000 points of natural damage. Both sleep and natural damage could be resisted.
In addition to the single Poison Dart, there was also an area of effect poison dart.
The most frightening part of the entire battle was that when Huhuran's HP dropped to 30%, she would continuously release the Poison Dart at the 15 closest targets. These 15 players would all take strong natural damage. If these 15 players didn't have high resistance and high healing, they would immediately fall to the ground. However, other than these 15 players, they wouldn't take the 30% damage.
The first few battles took place in Princess Huhuran's room, but later on, Lu Li changed the battlefield to a room outside.
There were two reasons for choosing this location. First, everyone could choose their positions before the battle began. Second, there was more space outside, so it was easier to move and dodge.
When it came to positioning, they had to pay particular attention to it. Aside from the Warriors and Thieves, everyone else formed a circle around the MT. They would try to keep a distance of 15 yards between each other as much as possible. This way, the team would be relatively concentrated so that it would be easier for the healers to salvage the situation in case of emergencies. In comparison, the Shaman was closer to the inner circle.
The Warriors and Thieves surrounded Princess Huhuran and attacked from as far away as they could.
Before the battle began, the Thieves would hide to the side and wait for the Boss to pull aggro before attacking. The team members who were close to the tunnel also hid far away and waited for the Boss to be in position before returning to their designated positions. The goal was to avoid the Boss's first area of effect attack during the process of pulling aggro.
All the Warriors wore Natural Resistance equipment. With the Hunter's Aura and Shaman's Totem, they would be able to resist the Boss's natural damage. The Main Tank and the Main Tank who might take over in the second stage needed to maintain their Defense. Since Princess Huhuran's physical attacks were also very powerful in the second stage, they couldn't sacrifice too much for their Natural Resistance.
The other melee classes had the Hunter's Aura and Shaman's Totem. Even if they couldn't resist the Boss's natural damage, they could at least reduce a portion of it.
However, they couldn't just stack Natural Resistance. Too much Natural Resistance would greatly affect everyone's damage output.
After a few battles, Lu Li gradually understood the rules of Natural Resistance. He also asked the ranged classes to wear their usual equipment, so they didn't need any Natural Resistance. Under Lu Li's pressure, Emperor Liang Bing had recently come up with a Natural Absorption Potion that could provide everyone with decent Natural Resistance.
"I think it's about time. If we don't do it properly, we won't have enough time today," Wander reminded Lu Li.
Today was the last day of the week, and the new CD would be released tomorrow.
"Then let's get to work." Lu Li rearranged their positions, trying to get ready.
After Bearded Zaza used his pet to pull Princess Huhuran, everyone entered the battle. At this time, Weilan Haifeng easily gained aggro with Blood Rage. After Princess Huhuran came out, he successfully pulled her and began the battle.
Princess Huhuran's battle was divided into two stages. When Princess Huhuran's HP was less than 30%, or when the battle had lasted more than 15 minutes, the second stage would enter.
The first stage was relatively smooth.
If the Hunters used the Mind Calming Chains and dispelled Berserk in time, the Boss's attacks wouldn't pose much of a threat to the Main Tank.
The three Tanks in the party would build aggro together. When the Main Tank's Poison Dart stacked up to four times, they would stop attacking and let the other Tanks pull the aggro. Otherwise, the Tanks would very likely die. The previous few times the party was wiped was because of the Tanks.
The Healers distributed the healing tasks in detail. Everyone had a fixed goal. Each Priest was responsible for healing one Tank and one Thief. They would also help each other when they had extra HP.
Each Shaman was responsible for dispelling the poison from the Pterosaur Sting. Because dispelling the Pterosaur Sting would cause high damage instantly, the Shamans had to pay attention to the time needed to dispel the poison. At the same time, all the Shamans had to heal the Main Tank.
This time, Lu Li brought three Shamans, three Druids, two Healing Shamans and Sakura Memories, the buff Shaman.
While Sakura Memories was dealing damage, she also ensured that the Boss could dispel the Sting on the Main Tank in time.
The two Druids were responsible for maintaining the Rejuvenation of the three Tanks and healing them. The other Druid was responsible for maintaining the Thief's Rejuvenation. For all the Healers, they had to conserve their mana as much as possible in the case of melee combat. When entering the second stage, they generally needed to have more than 75% mana. The Shaman and Druid's Natural Agility were left for the second stage.
"If you need to, take your own potions and bandages. Don't expect the Healers to save you," Lu Li reminded.
In the first stage, the Boss would use a Silence effect on a random target and deal 750 Nature Damage every two seconds. All party members who received this damage would rely on bandages to recover their HP after the damage was over. Unless they received continuous damage, the Healers generally wouldn't take special care of such party members.
