Everything happened too suddenly. In just a moment, they lost their only healer. The team fell into a brief silence. The others were still in a daze. At this time, the commander said decisively: "Little Bear, leave immediately. Everyone return to the cave. Hurry!"
"Take drugs, don't die! Wu Liao, go ahead and pull the fish monster away!"
The summoner's summoned beasts all fell down at this time. The summoned bear grabbed the aggro in the first place, and the wind eagle slowed down to buy time for the escapees. The six of them turned around and ran. At this time, there was no team order. The most important thing was to run back to the cave and survive. Speed up skills and damage reduction skills were used one after another...
After a life-and-death race, they squeezed into the crack of the cave. The next second, the boss's tentacles attacked them directly. They had no choice but to move further in until they reached the corridor and were temporarily safe.
At this time, the six of them were almost all dead. Wu Liao, who was pulling the monster, was the worst off. With only 1% of his health left, he was just about to die outside the cave. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Without treatment, the fragile group had lost their sense of security.
"Don't use medicines and skills to restore mana. Wait until daytime comes." Su Mo observed the situation around him. There were still about 5 minutes before daytime. They had tested out the boss's five mechanism skills, but one difficulty had not been solved, which was what exactly was the boss's defense mechanism
Although the boss in the mission scene they are in is tanky, he is not particularly difficult to beat. Several people working together can still reduce his health points, but this does not solve the problem.
After a brief silence, Little Bear asked, "No one brought Hong Guoguo in?"
This place is far away from the nearby channels. No matter how much Hong Guoguo talks, it’s useless because everyone is dead outside.
Qingfeng: "It's not that we don't have any sense of brotherhood, it's just that I was running for my life and didn't have time to take anyone with me."
Wu Liao said: "What should we do? Our healer is dead, so we can't fight the boss."
"Stop talking." Qingfeng sighed, "Apple, come out and get beaten."
Zhi Ge: "He typed that the microphone was muted."
"When Guozi went out to resist the explosion, one of us should have used a defensive skill to protect him." Su Mo continued, "We also have problems ourselves. I neglected this. Let's wait until daytime to pick up Guozi's body, and then think of other ways."
At this point, this is the only way. The tolerance rate of a healer is too low, and a 5-star level shouldn't have this much difficulty. Or maybe we can wait until daytime and the resurrection charm in the package can be used.
Little Bear said: "This amount of healing is obviously not enough. The damage skill is high. Two healers in a ten-man team are enough. The game mechanics shouldn't be this difficult."
"That's right. The boss's attacks have very few blind spots, but we can't stand in a blind spot completely. Without a healer, two hits from its tentacles will kill you. Now we have only taken about 80% of its health. With this amount of healing, it will be difficult for us to fight in the later stages." Qingfeng said: "If we had left the roast goose behind, we might have been able to pass the level."
In the blink of an eye, it was daytime and the attacks outside stopped.
Several people hurried out and found that the boss's health stopped at 82%. He did not leave the battle because they entered the cave. The target of hatred was still Biscuit Bear. The place where Hong Guoguo died was not far away. The team channel during the day was available. As soon as he found it, he started to say: "You finally came out. I had a nightmare. The group of fish monsters stepped on my body and touched me!!! And this main brain is faulty. The team channel and email channel are banned at night, and typing is also set to be prohibited after death. Doesn't it know how pitiful it is for a person to die alone outside? In the wind and rain, and stepped on by monsters."
"Does your resurrection charm work?" Su Mo asked.
Hong Guoguo said: "No, I tried several times, it's not locked, but it doesn't work."
When in the night state, their resurrection pills and spells were disabled, and at that time they were locked. The pills and spells during the day were not locked, but they still could not be used. This obviously revealed a detail that there might be other solutions to revive Hong Guoguo in the day state.
"We can't escape from the battle. Xiao Xiong, I and Hong Guoguo will stay here to study the boss. The others will leave the forest and go to the village to look for other clues, especially those related to resurrection. If there are any clues, notify us immediately." Su Mo arranged the tasks. "Let's go. We don't have much time. Remember to come back before nightfall."
Zhi Ge and Wu Liao were familiar with the road outside, so they took Qing Feng and Apple and set out immediately. After the others left, Su Mo compiled the boss's five mechanical skills into a text message and sent it to Yu Zhen, then used the protruding rocks on the hillside to jump onto the boss, and tried to hit him several times. Not only did he not lose blood, but the boss also appeared in the [Sleeping Blessing] state.
During the test, a voice message popped up from Yu Zhen, explaining the status of the outside world. They used the daytime to move the boss to the sea near the fishing village. At night, players in the sea would not be attacked by the boss, but in contrast, the boss in the sea attacked more fiercely and even began to hit the players irregularly, which could be said to be a heavy loss.
The only advantage is that this boss has progress in the entire server, and the attacks of players in various quests are aggregated together. From the current situation, the combat effectiveness of players in the entire server is very sufficient. The problem is how to break the defense mechanism.
"The boss is mobile. During the night, it left the sea and continued to move forward. The players were all scattered and gathered. Judging from the current situation, it will continue to move inland. Its destination is likely to be the resource base outside Sunset City." Yu Zhen explained: "During the day, we basically don't lose blood when we attack it. At night, its blood loss rate is very slow. Now two nights have passed, and its health is still 90%. At this rate, it will become more and more difficult to defeat it as time goes by."
Su Mo frowned and continued to climb up, coming to the back of the boss. It was difficult to see clearly in the dark, but now taking a closer look, he found that there were some very strange patterns on the boss' body, which collided together like words with strange strokes.
"Have you made any new discoveries regarding defense mechanisms?"
"There is a state called Blessing of Deep Sleep. When the boss enters deep sleep, its defense is raised to the extreme, making external attacks ineffective." Su Mo said, "This is probably the reason why it cannot attack during the day. You probably can't fight it now. Let's talk to Ta Yunzhong about the mana value. Maybe there are other solutions. I'll take a look at what Blessing of Deep Sleep is."
The two interrupted the voice chat, and Su Mogang switched back and noticed the silence in the team.
Hong Guoguo asked: "Brother, have you finished chatting with Brother Xing?"
Su Mo then noticed that he had not turned off the team voice chat, "Well, Xiao Xiong, try to see if you can pull the boss's tentacles and move them to the left."
Biscuit Bear immediately took action after hearing this. The boss was very big, but the warrior's stamina and strength were not good, so he could still move a little. "It's a bit slow to move, it's stuck next to it."
Su Mo paused for a moment and brought out the in-game drawing board. "Then try to see if you can straighten it."
Hong Guoguo looked at the same angle for a long time, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"The patterns on its body are a bit strange." Su Mo quickly traced the patterns on one of the tentacle and then jumped to the other side.
Hong Guoguo was surprised. "Ah? Isn't that its skin? The forums all say that large bosses' skins are painted in fancy colors. The more complicated they are, the more they highlight their character."
Qingfeng, who had already gone down the mountain to the fishing village, heard this and felt the same way: "Yes, yes, yes, especially the humanoid bosses. Many people on the forum are urging the official to take off their clothes and make them into costumes."
Zhi Ge: "You want to wear octopus skin?"
Qingfeng: “… I’m just giving an example.”
The team chatted intermittently. After Hong Guoguo died, it was too boring. He couldn't move and could only brag in the voice chat. Su Mo and Little Bear Biscuit worked together to walk around the mountain. This boss had a total of 8 tentacles, and the patterns were different in depth from top to bottom. It took more than 20 minutes to record all the patterns.
"Speaking of which, is the state of deep sleep only possible when it is sleeping?" Hong Guoguo suddenly had an idea: "Then can we prevent it from sleeping? If it doesn't sleep, does it not count as deep sleep?"
Apple, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but say, "Guozi, you are really talented in picking out words."
Hong Guoguo said: "I am telling the truth. Its status also said that the boss will be protected by the power of God after entering a deep sleep. If the boss does not enter a deep sleep, there will be no protection."
Su Mo looked at the drawing board and thought for a moment after hearing this: "That's indeed an idea. Think of a way to wake it up."
Hong Guoguo wilted when she heard this, "I'm just a little healer lying on the floor."
"Oh." Su Mo responded casually and said nothing more.
Hong Guoguo suddenly felt unsure, "Brother, it's not a good habit to finish your sentence halfway."
Little Bear Biscuit noticed that Su Mo's face looked different, so he came down from the high slope and walked to Su Mo's side. "What do you mean, this pattern has a clue?"
Qing Feng heard this and said, "Ah? Is there really words engraved on the skin?"
"Yes." Su Mo displayed the spliced drawing board in the team channel. Everyone could see the vertical and horizontal lines on the picture. The lines were of different lengths, some were jagged, some were curved, and some were just ordinary lines. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see anything, let alone the text.
Wu Liao: "To be honest, I am not well educated and I didn't understand it."
Zhi Ge looked at it for a long time. "It seems like there are words, but it also seems like there are no words. Is it some kind of ancient writing?"
"It's normal that you can't understand it, because there are a lot of mixed lines in the pieced-together pattern. Among so many lines, it actually only hides one word." Su Mo raised his hand and wiped off some redundant lines. Gradually, a clear ancient Chinese text appeared in front of everyone.
"I saw the word 'fuck' last time when I was browsing Star Network. A literary blogger did some popular science on it and found out that this word means hungry." Qingfeng recognized it immediately with his sharp eyes, "Does it mean hungry?"
"It's just hungry." Su Mo glanced at the boss who was sleeping on the top, "It's probably just hungry."
Apple pondered, "What does he eat when he's hungry? Mana? Isn't he always going for mana?"
"Didn't they say before that the world boss ate the Fruit Gang's base and recovered health?" Hong Guoguo suddenly remembered, "Ah? Doesn't this mean that the boss is very hungry and likes to eat mana?"
Wu Liao was confused when he heard this: "Isn't this something we already knew? It likes mana, so it attacks us."
Qingfeng: "Is that so? Then can we get some blue medicine to seduce it?"
Apple: "Are you stupid? Wouldn't it be stronger if you feed it? Look outside, eating water can restore blood!"
Hong Guoguo: "Can you poison the blue medicine? Poison it to death?"
Wu Liao: "Does Tianhuan have this kind of poison? The kind that can kill the boss."
Little Bear Biscuit: "You're overthinking. Alchemists can't do this."
This information may seem useless, but it actually opens up some new ideas.
Su Mo pondered for a moment. This information could actually reveal the purpose of the boss's behavior. It attacked the player because it was hungry, and it seized the stronghold because it was hungry. Moreover, the resources and materials related to mana that it seized could restore its health...
No, not enough information.
Entering the scene, the fisherman takes them to the yard, stuns them, offers sacrifices, and goes to the human bone cave... The difference between the inner and outer bosses.
"I understand." Su Mo said suddenly.
The people in the team who were still discussing how to poison the boss stopped when they heard this. Hong Guoguo was shocked and asked, "Brother, do you know how to make poison?"
Su Mo: “…”
"Not poison, but the boss's defense mechanism." He cleared the drawing board and wrote down his ideas on the board again. "One idea is that the boss's defense and attack power are likely to be related to being fed. Given that it is very hungry, its first target after landing is to find materials or players with rich mana, not its enemies. After successfully eating mana, its overall attributes should change, the most obvious being defense and attack power... The most obvious evidence of this is the health bars of the bosses inside and outside. We fought outside for two days, and with so many players from the entire server, we only reduced its health by 10%. In our mission scene, seven people reduced its health by 20% in two hours."
"That might be one reason. The reason why the defense of the boss outside has increased is that it has been fed. But the boss in the mission scene has not been fed."
Apple frowned when he heard that: "But this doesn't make sense. It only ate our gang's base. Before it ate the base's resources, it was also very strong."
"You have a misunderstanding. It can enhance the strength of more than just the base resources. There are more players outside." Su Mo said: "The human bone cave we were in just now was once offered as a sacrifice to the boss. You have to know that after death, we are in an empty mana state. In normal scenes, we can say that it is normal to die empty mana, but if the mana after death in the battle with the Lord of the Deep Sea is all given to the boss, and one person's death strengthens the boss a little, so many players outside are actually the boss's endless source of power."
Therefore, the defense of the boss outside is so high, it is very likely that too many players died and fattened the boss. It is easy to lose blood when fighting inside because there are only 7 people, the boss's energy is depleted, and they don't have large-scale deaths. In their scenes, the boss's defense is getting lower and lower.
Biscuit Bear suddenly remembered: "Yes, when we first hit it, its blood loss was very slow, but later on, it did become faster." At that time, he thought it was the result of his teammates' cooperation and combined output, but he never thought that it might be because the boss's defense had become lower.
Wu Liao was shocked when he heard this: "How do we fight this? There are so many people outside, how do you ensure that no one dies? And if our healer dies, if we continue to attack the boss, won't our deaths make it more difficult to fight the boss?"
This is a dead end. If the healer dies, how can they ensure their own survival and kill the boss at the same time? If this is the idea, death will only add burden to teammates. Moreover, Hong Guoguo died in the darkness just now. If the darkness comes again, it may be even more difficult to fight.
"Excuse me." At this time, Zhi Ge's voice appeared in the channel, "I found a clue, it seems that I can be resurrected."
Wu Liao and Qingfeng were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly followed the map to find Zhige's location.
The clue that Zhi Ge was looking for was a legend about resurrection in an old man's house in a small fishing village.
This fishing village believes in sea monsters. Most of the villagers are evil people who offer sacrifices to the Lord of the Deep Sea in exchange for blessings, but not all villagers are like this. Some villagers are kind-hearted and do not participate in such evil deeds. The old man that Zhi Ge found was one of this kind of people. He found a map in his home. The small fishing village has been living on fishing for generations. The sea monster map is a map collected by fishermen from past generations. The map depicts various mythical creatures. The Lord of the Deep Sea is one of them, but there is also another one.
The other type is called the small blessing fish. It is said that if fishermen catch the small blessing fish, they can exchange it for good luck.
"The old man said that his great cousin's second aunt was seriously ill, but because the child accidentally encountered a small lucky fish and released it, she was blessed and recovered inexplicably." Zhi Ge explained: "I think this might be a clue?"
Fu Bi? Su Mo pondered for a moment after hearing this, and it was indeed an idea.
Wu Liao said: "I'm here too, and what the old man said seems to be true. He also said that the little Fu fish was caught on the beach near the back mountain."
Hong Guoguo was shocked: "Is this the legendary wishing fish?!"
Apple: "I'm here, Guozi, wait for me to save you."
Hong Guoguo was a little touched, "Apple, considering how hard you've worked, I forgive you."
Zhi Ge added, pouring cold water on everyone: "But the small lucky fish is very rare. A small fishing village may not see one once in hundreds of years. Is anyone among you lucky enough?"
Others: “…”
Yes, the luckiest person among them is now lying on the ground.
Hong Guoguo: "... How about you carry my body over there?"
Qingfeng: "Little Bear, bring the fruit over here and take a bite. Oh, by the way, if anyone has bait, give me two. I only have fishing rods but no bait in my armory."
Wu Liao: "Who would put bait on their body for no reason? It's just to take up space."
Apple: "Another question, is there a place in the village that sells fishing bait?"
I got some good news, but this news is more dependent on luck than opening a treasure chest. Except for Hong Guoguo, the others' luck is just above average. It is simply impossible to catch a fish and come back to life before nightfall. Moreover, now I only have a fishing rod but no bait. Even if I find a place selling bait in the small fishing village, there is not enough time!
Little Bear: "Do we still need to move people there?"
The others were silent.
At this time, another reassuring voice sounded in the team channel. Su Mo said calmly: "Send me the coordinates of the drop location. There is enough time. It's still in time."
The author has something to say: Qingfeng recalled a distant memory: my brother seemed to be the fish king of the novice village.
