"Did you just call the roll?"
"How many people are there? Do you want to save them?"
For a moment, the voice of the commander disappeared from the voice channel, and the original skill reporting also stopped. The healer who was always paying attention to the team immediately noticed the lack of personnel. Just as Hong Guoguo was about to speak, another voice in the voice channel took over the command, "He was targeted."
"There are no waves underwater, Kugua uses Giant Mountain Shield, and Physical Sword prepares the Great Sword Formation."
At this time, the people on the water were suffering from the burning effects of the scorching sun, while the melee and main defense underwater were bearing the powerful attacks of the mermaids. With the unknown roll call, the waves, and the upcoming phantoms, the only countdown commander disappeared.
The skill rhythm became unknown at this moment.
Zhi Ge asked nervously, "Save the commander?"
At this moment, a message suddenly popped up in the team chat - "No rescue"
Yu Zhen also spoke at the same time: "No."
The sound and text appeared at the same time. Yu Zhen's peripheral vision paused slightly, and in the next second he saw the number '5' and 'Shangting'.
Count down 5 seconds, go to the pavilion.
Yu Zhen reacted immediately: "Pay attention underwater, prepare to go to the pavilion and receive the phantom."
The mermaid in the water raised her hand, and her tail instantly raised a huge wave, with countless phantoms and waves. There was no room on the pavilion, and the four melee fighters who came later could only rely on their teammates' hands to avoid being swept away by the waves. Everyone looked at this underwater phantom, which brought much more deterrence than the one on the water.
"Continue the long-range attack, and stop the melee attack for a while."
At this time, the boss's health was 95%. Everyone experienced more than a minute of chaos at the beginning, with chaotic and irregular skills, the commander was called out, and the skill rhythm was disrupted. Fortunately, another person in the team took over the command in time, so the situation was not in chaos.
Under water, Su Mo calmly listened to Yu Zhen's command in the team voice chat.
In most cases, the text channel is closed or ignored. When you are familiar with voice commands, the text reminder will be delayed. In the situation just now, he was the only one in the group counting down. If he took measures to rescue people or take shelter in the water, he would most likely be hit by the phantom, and 40% would lose 3-5 people.
At that time, he reported 5 seconds in advance. Fortunately, his reminder was seen in time and Yu Zhen made a timely judgment.
Su Mo's nervous heart calmed down. He sat in the stone cage at the bottom of the lake, looking at the figures looming on the top. He glanced at the buildings at the bottom of the lake and took advantage of the time when he was called out to observe again the places that had not been fully explored before.
He only remembered it for about seven or eight seconds before his eyes felt a little uncomfortable.
Even if the player is given the skill of water ability, for someone like Su Mo who has almost never gone deep into the water in real life, this environment is still challenging, especially for the eyes, which makes him extremely uncomfortable.
He simply closed his eyes, helping to count down while sorting out all the details about this boss.
From the beginning till now, their fighting style was too chaotic, the only regular skills were the phantom and the switching between the two boss postures. The most threatening wave slapping and calling out names had no signs at all... The pavilion was too small, with only four melee fighters at most, and the other six had almost no landing place. It was not practical to pull the monster to the shore to fight, as it would get away from the monster.
It probably won't work if you fight underwater, as your underwater skills will become slower. Bosses who switch postures have bonuses, so if you go into the water and are forced to switch postures, that won't work.
The 15 seconds passed in a flash, Su Mo opened his eyes and typed a 3-second reminder in the text channel.
At this time, he heard his teammates' discussions in the voice channel.
"Actually, it's underwater, so it's much easier for people on shore to fight it. The burning effect is equivalent to group damage, so just heal it and raise its health."
"Yes, that's right. And it's underwater. The wind generated by the phantom won't affect us who are standing on it."
Wait… The wave-beating is when the mermaid hits with its tail to create vibrations, thus rolling up waves that affect the displacement of everyone. In serious cases, it can even knock people off the pavilion.
The phantom is the wind and waves that are stirred up when the skill is released with the mermaid as the center. If it only affects the underwater part...will it be a horizontal effect
Su Mo immediately had a new plan in mind. If there was no landing point, he could only create one. At this time, the voice of the mermaid suddenly came to his ears, and it called the roll again.
There seemed to be one more person in the cage next door. Taking a closer look, it seemed to be a sea of fireworks.
After confirming the person, the next step is to wait for someone to rescue him, but because of the phantom, the rescue time may be delayed... As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the sound of a lock being opened.
Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes, and saw Yu Zhen appear in front of him. He grabbed his wrist with one hand and dragged him straight out of the cage, and the speed formation fell on him.
Yu Zhen stepped on the cage to gain leverage, and pushed him up with a strong force, then quickly turned around to unlock the cage next to him to put out the fire. Su Mo no longer had the mind to think about why Yu Zhen arrived so quickly, he remained calm and continued to count down, but the slightly unstable heartbeat affected his countdown efficiency, forcing him to look at the [Scorching Sun] countdown next to him.
At this time, only 3 minutes have passed since the monster was killed, and there are still 3 minutes before the next piece of equipment is banned.
As soon as Su Mo emerged from the water, he summoned the bear. The huge bear fell into the water, splashing a lot of water. In the end, only the bear's head and shoulders were exposed above the water. "Phantom for 3 seconds, go bear."
Apple, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment when he saw the big bear, but when he heard the familiar commanding voice, his body had already formed a conditioned reaction, and after determining the bear's position, he used light skills to move forward.
"Jump."
Everyone: “???”
Jump? That kind of jump? Jumping in place
When the phantom appeared, Su Mo jumped almost at the same time, and Apple beside him jumped stupidly. The mermaid had already reached the shore, and the wind swept away the moment its phantom appeared. The few people who jumped directly avoided the vibration at that moment and landed steadily on the bear.
The few people who didn't react in time were blown a long distance by the wind, and they hurriedly used light skills to dodge or directly defend themselves.
Apple was stunned: "What the hell, can it be done this way??"
"Fighting the waves and the wind are both horizontal skills. The height of the jump is high enough, so theoretically it can avoid injury." Su Mo explained: "That's why the people on the shore were not affected when it was in the water just now."
Huo Shu Yin Hua just emerged from the water and saw this scene: "I'd better let the bear out too."
"Don't let go." Su Mo's eyes darkened when he saw this: "Bears can't float. If the water accumulates too much, it will be difficult to save people and swim, and it will be difficult to lock onto the underwater boss."
The bear is very tall, and it was fine to put it far away to block the wind, but once it reaches the center of the lake, its size that can appear on the water surface will become smaller. Although sinking does not affect taunting and pulling monsters, the exposed size is too small to provide space for multiple people, and the treatment distance may not be enough, which will also affect Zhige's rescue.
What's more, they are very flexible bosses, they need quick attacks, and the appearance of the bear will affect the field of vision.
It’s fine for emergency use, but not for long-term use in this scenario.
"Get out of the fight first. I have an idea." Su Mo continued, "Release the bitter melon, and the others return to shore."
The others were stunned for a moment after hearing this, but still followed the command and quickly returned to the shore. Only when Kugua was killed by the monster did everyone completely escape from the battle.
-*
After returning to the shore, everyone listened to the instructions and sorted out new methods of confrontation.
Su Mo said: "Let's review its mechanical skills. Note that the waves and phantom wind can be temporarily avoided by jumping high. Losing 1% of health per second is within the range that the healer can bear, so we won't avoid it."
"But how are we going to stand on the water? Didn't you say we don't need a bear?"
Apple thought about it carefully, "I just tried the Ice Sword Technique, which can temporarily create ice, but the freezing effect is only 5 seconds, and the skill CD is 7 seconds. Two spell swords can be connected seamlessly, and I can't do it alone."
Su Mo smiled when he heard this: "You forgot that Fire Tree and Silver Flower has a thousand-year-old ice."
Ice has a low density and can float.
Moreover, the ice of Fire Tree and Silver Flower is big enough for two people to stand on it.
The people in the group were dumbfounded.
Xigua: "Fuck, it can be used like this."
Huo Shu Yin Hua's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out the Millennium Ice and placed it on the water: "I told you that you won't lose if you take me with you."
Zhi Ge: "But the waves and illusions affect the water surface, and the ice will move."
Others agreed that even if they had a landing point, it was not fixed and they would drift away.
"Then let's fix the ice." Su Mo looked at Yu Zhen: "I remember you have a flying rope that can be infinitely extended?"
Yu Zhen took out the rope and said, "It can completely bind the ice. Then tie the other end of the rope to the pavilion."
Su Mo said: "Can you tie it up firmly?"
Yu Zhen: “Yes.”
Others: “… !!”
Damn! Is it still possible to play like this!
Apple suddenly realized: "I suddenly remembered that when I was chatting privately with Wu at noon, I asked him what he was doing, and he said he was cutting trees... I suddenly realized why the mastermind left such a large forest for us."
Huo Shu Yin Hua also said: "If you say so, I also remembered that there are mountain vines in the forest. If we don't have enough ropes, the mountain vines can also be used as ropes! !"
But even if there is a thousand-year-old ice, this ice can only support about two people, and there is also the need to consider casting spells. What about the other four ranged ones? In the water? Or they can just cut down trees and make a raft.
Su Mo heard their doubts and said simply: "No, we have two summoners. If we can't summon bears, we can summon Xuanwu."
The summoned beast Xuanwu has only one skill, which is usually used by the summoner as a damage reduction skill.
But in essence, it looks like a turtle, is proficient in water, and can float on the water. In addition, its skill is to reduce damage. In order to provide damage reduction to the target, after being controlled by the owner, it will follow the target closely, and the longest distance can reach 3 meters.
Isn’t this injury reduction line just an invisible rope
Fire Tree and Silver Flower: "You are so smart. You can even play tricks with the summoned beasts."
"Just now you said there are mountain vines in the woods. So, the flying rope has another use." Yu Zhen added: "It can be tied to the cage. It only takes 2 seconds to unlock and rescue people from the water, saving the time of swimming."
Fruit Gang: “…!!!”
Other groups rely on cutting trees in the woods to make rafts, but they have ice boats and turtle cars, and now they even have an underwater elevator.
Things were finalized and everyone started working with clear division of labor.
It is not difficult to make an ice boat, and this is thousand-year-old ice, so it will not melt even if placed in water.
The difficult part is cutting the vines. Those vines are special vines. They need seven or eight cuts to cut through. It is obvious that they have special uses.
They were ready in about ten minutes. Everyone went to the vicinity of the pavilion and tied the vines to a place on the pavilion that was not vulnerable to attack. They also prepared some ropes as a backup.
"I can't get close to the cage right now. I'll go get it when you call me." Yu Zhen: "Unless I'm called, I'll go get it when you call me."
"Red Fruit follows me, Yellow Peach follows Fire Tree and Silver Flower, Array Master follows Spell Sword on Ice." Su Mo tied the Black Tortoise's damage reduction to the bitter melon, "Silver Flower's damage reduction leads to the watermelon, pay attention to the summoning time of the summoned beast, and refresh it in advance."
Hong Guoguo immediately climbed onto Xuanwu's back, "That's so cool."
"Huang Tao, hold on tight." Huo Shu Yin Hua held Xigua and controlled the direction. "Don't worry, I'm a professional driver."
Xigua felt a little strange. "Although I am happy that the injury was reduced, it always makes me feel that something is wrong."
"Don't worry, brother." Qingfeng: "Aren't you the most vulnerable? It's good enough to have damage reduction."
This time, the monster opening became extremely simple.
The waves came right at the beginning. As soon as the command was given, everyone noticed the boss's movements. Once they saw it raising its tail, they immediately jumped on the spot. The waves rolled Hanbing and Xuanwu back several distances, but due to the existence of mountain vines and damage reduction lines, they did not drift far away, and everyone successfully avoided the waves.
Now they were completely relieved and everyone let go and started outputting.
"Very good, next should be Phantom and roll call, everyone pay attention." Su Mo said simply: "Phantom means raise your hands, wave slapping means raise your tail, pay attention to the time, there are still 5 seconds."
Once the 5 seconds are up, the phantom appears.
Everyone dodged the strong wind, and the phantoms under the water caused the surface of the lake to surge. Some phantoms simply jumped onto the surface of the lake, their tails sparkling in the sun, and they would fall on people the next second.
"Fuck, these shadows are spirits."
"I almost fell down because of the slap from the tail."
"Keep your balance, don't fall." Su Mo pulled Hong Guoguo down to lower his center of gravity, "Don't stop the treatment."
Hong Guoguo's healing flower landed on the ice, raising the health of the people around it. Huang Tao's group healing landed on the pavilion, raising the health of the few people who were burned too much and had little health.
The boss swung his tail again, and everyone jumped up at the same time, but nothing happened.
Everyone: “???” Amazing, this boss is even faking it.
Su Mo said: "Whether there are waves or not, the tail will jump."
"Roll call, Hong Guoguo, formation master, save people."
Su Mo reminded: "Phantom 11 seconds."
The formation master on the ice jumped into the water and swam very quickly to the underwater cage. After tying the flying rope, he immediately rescued Hong Guoguo.
All operations were completed in just 10 seconds, bringing the therapist Hong Guoguo to the vicinity of Xuanwu.
The boss swung his tail, and Su Mo dropped his voice: "Phantom, jump!"
Everyone jumped up at the same time, "Lower your center of gravity, the boss calls out again, the spell sword is being targeted."
The irregular skills seemed to become extremely simple under the orderly command of the commander, and the attack efficiency became higher and higher. When Yanri banned the second piece of equipment, they had already beaten the boss to 65%.
Then, the second piece of equipment was banned, and the defense, attack power, movement speed, and skill power decreased again at this time, and the attack efficiency also slowed down, but no one panicked at all, and all their attention was on the boss. Once they had time to attack, they never gave up.
The health dropped little by little, Su Mo refreshed Xuanwu, and the health was about to reach 50%. At this time, Huoshuyinhua was named, Xuanwu lost control, and the boss merman's tail swung again, directly slapping the Huoshuyinhua Xuanwu into the distance.
"Huang Tao Qing Gong goes to the ice boat." Su Mo: "Formation Master, save people."
The formation master went into the water to save people, and at this moment, the health reached 50%. Su Mo's heart was lifted, 50%, whether the mermaid boss would change his tactics or not depended on this point.
The mermaid in the lake suddenly stopped attacking, looked towards the bottom of the water with a pair of dark blue eyes, then switched to underwater state and jumped into the water.
It was launched early.
The author has something to say: Later, a picture of a group vacationing in the second level was suddenly sent to the exploration group.
A certain group: pergola, air conditioning, ice boat, turtle boat!
Other groups: … … Is this reasonable!!!
Lumberjack Wu Liao: Haha.
