“Right.” Guan Shan Yue seemed to remember something. “I forgot to ask, are there any first kills left for the 20-level dungeon? I only do first kills.”
It was the same old story...
Without a first kill, going to kill the dungeon was just as pointless as grinding low-level mobs.
It was a waste of time.
“That's it then…”, a wave of dejection passed through Death Tide.
“None left?” Guan Shan Yue was surprised.
“There’s one, the Drunken Monk.”
It had been over 12 hours since the level 20 cap had been reached.
But there was still one dungeon left… the Drunken Monk.
In a temple, resided a group of Drunken Monks.
The Drunken Monk, a hidden boss, hid among a group of young monks. If you didn’t find him in time and killed 20 young monks, the Drunken Monk boss would go berserk.
He’d become extremely frenzied.
If his health wasn’t cleared in time, he’d become very difficult to deal with.
This was why it was left for last, and no guild had cleared it.
…
…
“Although the difficulty isn’t too high, it takes a lot of observation. If you can find him early and reduce his health to below 30%, it’ll be easier. Because this kind of boss is relatively fragile, you can trade blows with it.”
It was obvious.
Death Tide had read the guide.
But a guide is just a guide. When it came to actually executing it, it wasn’t as easy as it seemed.
“Also, I heard that the Ba Tu Guild is working through the night to kill this boss. They’ve already tried many times, they’re determined to break through and won’t give up,” said Ominous Omen.
“Damn! Then we have to hurry! Someone’s gonna snatch it from us!” One Sword Bleeding was so concerned about getting the first kill and showing off that he didn’t think too much about it.
“Let’s just give it a shot.” Guan Shan Yue said.
Hearing him say this.
The group no longer hesitated and rushed to the dungeon.
…
…
In reality.
At this moment, not only was Ba Tu Guild attacking, but Blue Stream’s Jun Mo Xie was also leading Lan He and the others there.
“Big Bro and Big Sis, we might as well just be your audience again,” said One Sword Bleeding.
Because for the 15-level dungeon.
It was Lin Miao Miao who went in first and soloed the boss, and it was pretty good. They traded blows, she managed to take down 20% of the boss's health before she died.
Finally, Guan Shan Yue charged in.
“This time it’s not gonna work, you guys need to go and lure the mobs,” Guan Shan Yue said.
…
…
They entered the temple.
Following Guan Shan Yue’s tactics.
Death Tide and One Sword Bleeding both went to the center of the temple to lure the mobs.
Dawn Not Broken the Assassin, and Night Not Cold the Swordsman jumped onto the wall to observe.
“Not bad, you got up there in one go?” Guan Shan Yue looked at Lin Miao Miao in admiration.
No matter what, the wall wasn’t very thick, it was almost the limit of a swordsman’s jumping height, she managed to get up in one go. It wasn’t impossible to attribute it to luck.
“Of course, do you think I spent two days not sleeping for nothing?” Lin Miao Miao said.
“Really? Then jump down and jump back up again.” Guan Shan Yue said.
“Fine, I’ll show you.”
She controlled her character and jumped down.
As she jumped towards the wall, it looked like she was going to make it, but she overshot and fell headfirst, landing with a faceplant, even losing 2% of her health.
“Pfft~” Guan Shan Yue laughed, “Don’t make me laugh.”
Lin Miao Miao, unwilling to admit defeat, tried again.
This time, she didn’t even reach the wall. She hung there.
Sometimes it’s like that, one attempt is worse than the last.
The first time is always the best.
“Ugh!!” She was starting to get anxious.
“Big Bro and Big Sis, you guys stop playing around, the monks are coming out.” Death Tide said.
“Can’t you climb up manually when you’re hanging there?” Guan Shan Yue also gave Lin Miao Miao a tip.
After she tried it.
“Huh? It actually works.”
“You’re just figuring that out now? Sometimes when you fall into a trap hole set by the other player’s class, you can use this method.”
“Got it.”
…
…
“Big Bro, what do I do? I can’t jump up as a Priest,” said Big Milk Shield.
“Find a corner and hide,” Guan Shan Yue said.
The two characters had only stopped in the temple for three seconds, when 30 identical young monks with staffs emerged from all directions, attacking the two indiscriminately.
Bang!
Death Tide had already fired.
He hastily started fighting with frantic movements.
The difficulty of this dungeon lay in the fact that you had to not only withstand attacks, but also not kill the young monks recklessly. It was tricky.
Big Milk Shield wisely used the level 1 skill Armor Proficiency to add a bit of armor to the two.
One Sword Bleeding also directly stepped forward and swung.
One Slash, directly knocking back five young monks horizontally.
“You can’t tell which one is the hidden boss.”
“We’ll just fight and see which one hits us the hardest,” Death Tide said.
Since the displayed damage was consistent and there was no difference in armor and health, it could only be seen by which young monk dealt the most killing damage.
Everyone knew the principle, but it was not easy to actually observe it.
…
…
Soon…
The two were surrounded by young monks. Since they couldn’t just kill them, they were immediately hit.
Just three minutes passed.
One Sword Bleeding was still fine, as a Swordsman he had a Block skill.
Death Tide, the Gun-cannon Master, was miserable. His health wasn’t much to begin with.
He was continuously beaten, and soon only had 27% health left.
“Big Milk Shield, heal me!” he shouted.
Priest.
Level 5, Healing Spell: Requires chanting, the shortest chanting time among healing skills, the least amount of health restored, no cooldown time.
Level 8, Minor Healing Spell: No chanting required, it’s a instant cast skill, but has a long cooldown time and high aggro.
…
…
He was already struggling to keep up.
Plus, One Sword Bleeding was also yelling at him to heal.
As soon as he used Healing Spell, four monks immediately went after him with a ferocious look.
He quickly ran back.
He was immediately out of healing range.
“Damn! I’m going to die!”
“Big Bro, have you figured it out?” Death Tide asked anxiously.
“…”
Guan Shan Yue remained silent.
The whole scene was too chaotic, and there were five young monks that hadn’t attacked until now.
He felt that the two were just too bad, let alone deliberately not killing them, even if these monks were not deliberately targeted, they didn’t have the skills to easily kill them.
“Damn! Big Bro, save me first, I’m going to die,” Big Milk Shield shouted.
It was because he used Healing Spell, four young monks were chasing after him and hacking at him.
“I think we’re doing this wrong. If we kill 20 young monks, the Drunken Monk will go berserk. Why don’t we kill 19, and then observe the remaining 11 monks?” Lin Miao Miao said.
“Big Sis, can you think of anything that everyone else can’t? If you kill one, another one will replenish,” Death Tide said.
“Huh? It’s that hard?!”
Lin Miao Miao was a little dumbfounded.
She moved her mouse, looking at the screen.
Suddenly, she seemed to notice something.
“I think I found the Drunken Monk Boss, Shan Yue, look.”
Guan Shan Yue followed her finger and looked.
It was one of the four young monks attacking Big Milk Shield.
It was clear…
The others were hitting for 30-40 health points, but this one suddenly hit for 80-90 health points.
Damn!
Lin Miao Miao actually made a contribution!
