Although the inability to kill monsters in groups has affected the speed of advancement, this is also relative! Zhang Yang's attack power can still be classified as first-class at this stage - of course, compared to Sun Xinyu and Wei Yan'er's top-notch attack power, it is still somewhat inferior!
But with the help of his mount the Golden-eared Bear King, Zhang Yang is still like a humanoid weapon. What's more crucial is his defense. He doesn't need to sit down and eat snacks to recover after fighting all the way. When he is out of blood, a Fury Recovery can solve all the problems. He is like a perpetual motion machine. This efficiency is not comparable to pure output like Sun Xinyu and Wei Yan'er!
More than two hours later, Zhang Yang rushed to the second checkpoint, and another boss blocked his way.
[Third Leader Barrag] (Silver-level leader, humanoid creature)
Level: 82
HP: 820,000
Armor value: 900
This was a green-skinned orc, tall and burly, holding a huge mace in his right hand, swinging it from time to time, smashing nearby rocks into pieces. Orcs were the most primitive, but also the most sturdy race among the four major tribes in the Alliance. This Balag was wearing a pair of shorts made of animal skins, almost naked, with long hair more than a foot long fluttering in the wind, and muscles all over his body like lumps of meat!
However, Zhang Yang didn't even need to prepare for the silver-level boss. After summoning the Black Water Turtle, Zhang Yang directly used the Broken Spear to attack the monster and created a group with the boss!
Barag is a warrior-type monster. In addition to the normal attack, it can also perform whirlwind and devastation! However, the cooldown time of the boss's skills is different from that of the player. Barag's whirlwind is used every 20 seconds, while the devastation lasts for 30 seconds. However, the additional effect of reducing the healing by 50% also lasts for 30 seconds, and there will be no interruption!
Unfortunately, Zhang Yang doesn’t need to recover blood at all, one tube of blood is enough to kill the boss!
In just two minutes, Balag surrendered to Zhang Yang's sword, and dropped several silver and bronze artifacts, as well as an alchemical formula that could be used to make a fourth-level healing potion.
Although the fourth-level healing potion can be bought directly in the store, it is too expensive and not as cost-effective as making it yourself! The most important thing is that Zhang Yang has received the gold enlightenment and can make a mutated potion. I don’t know what the effect of this fourth-level healing potion will be after the mutation.
After defeating the boss, Zhang Yang changed his mount back to the big white bear and continued walking up the mountain.
The monsters on the road were still at elite level. While fighting monsters, Zhang Yang collected herbs along the way. This mountain was rich in purple heart orchids, which could be used to refine flame potions to increase the fire mage's attack power.
After four hours in total, he collected nearly 132 purple heart orchids and came to the third boss.
[Second Leader Kuluni] (Gold Level Leader, Humanoid)
Level: 83
HP: 1.66 million
Armor value: 1500
After entering the level 80 map, the value of the gold-level boss has obviously shrunk. In the level 70 map, Kuruni's health must be over 8 million, but in the level 80 map, the purple-gold boss takes the lead, and the gold-level boss can only play a supporting role!
Kuluni is actually a short goblin. Like orcs, this race also has a green appearance. But his stature is even shorter than that of dwarves. I really don't know how dwarves took away the title of "dwarfs"!
The characteristic of a goblin is that his nose is extremely long and pointed, like Pinocchio, and he has no hair on his head, so bald that it can be used as a mirror!
This Kuluni was guarding the mountain road, dragging a giant axe taller than others in his right hand, and holding a shield in his left hand. It was obvious that he was a tank!
Zhang Yang summoned out the Black Water Turtle again. He was now full of confidence and had the courage and strength to challenge a gold-level boss alone!
Broken Spear!
-5380!
It actually hit critically!
Kuruni immediately roared, and rushed towards Zhang Yang with a big axe in hand, shouting, "Human, you actually attacked the great Kuruni by surprise. Kuruni will chop you into pieces and stew you into soup!"
Zhang Yang turned over and rode on the black water turtle, waiting for the boss to arrive.
-6024!
-7423!
-1976!
The Black Water Turtle's normal attack, a tear, and Zhang Yang's sword instantly caused 15,000 damage to the boss!
"Damn it, you hurt Kuluni!" The boss screamed and swung the axe in his hand.
Block!
-383! Block and counterattack.
-1516! Shield slam.
Unfortunately, if Zhang Yang could get the five-piece Titan set now, the shield slam would cause double damage, and the attack power would be greatly improved!
Block!
-582!
The boss's armor was too high, so Zhang Yang naturally applied five layers of armor shattering at the first opportunity. However, when he applied the second layer, Kuruni suddenly raised his shield and blocked his attack! Moreover, with such a high damage immunity, Zhang Yang was still hit by the blocking and counter-injury for 582 points, which means that the boss's basic attack power of blocking and counter-injury has reached 5000!
As expected of a boss, if a player wants to achieve 5000 points of block and counterattack, they need 5000 points of strength! Zhang Yang only has 1133 points of strength now, which is far from enough!
This is a battle of tank against tank, shield warrior against shield warrior!
Tanks are also known as turtles because their strong defense is like a turtle shell! So, now it is a battle between two, no, three Ninja Turtles!
Like Zhang Yang, the boss can use the skill of blocking to avoid damage, but the cooldown time of this skill is as long as 15 seconds, which is far from comparable to Zhang Yang's 6-second cooldown!
A tank without blocking skill points is indeed not a good tank!
Kuluni has almost all the skills of a shield warrior, including shock wave, thunder slam, and shield slam. Fortunately, he does not have the passive skill of shield defense. The damage he inflicts will only be reduced by the armor, but not by the 20% additional damage reduction.
The boss's damage is still very strong. A single attack can cause more than 6,000 damage. Even if the block damage reduction every 6 seconds is deducted, there are still more than 2,000 damage per second!
In less than a minute, Zhang Yang's health dropped to the bottom.
Fury restored!
+120360!
An extremely high green healing number that could make Han Yingxue pale in comparison jumped up above Zhang Yang's head, instantly filling up Zhang Yang's health!
On the other hand, the boss's health dropped to 74% under the joint efforts of Zhang Yang and the Black Water Turtle!
In other words, Zhang Yang needs to hold on for 4 minutes before he can chop the boss to death!
Normally, although the gold-level boss has been greatly weakened on the level 80 map and has lost a lot of health, it is still not something that players can fight alone! But Zhang Yang has too many ways to recover health and save his life, such as fury recovery, fountain of life, blood bottle, mutant troll recovery potion, shield wall, and if one time doesn't work, he can reload and try again!
Especially the Fountain of Life, which restores health points in the form of a percentage. Zhang Yang’s health is as high as 110,000, and 50% is 55,000!
Zhang Yang activated his skills one by one, drank the blood bottle and the fountain of life, and after the special effects of the necklace were triggered, he could also absorb 5,000 damage. The poor boss really couldn't bear it and was cut down to 10% of his health by Zhang Yang!
Of course, Zhang Yang also paid a considerable price, and basically used up all of his skills except for the shield wall.
"Ding! Kuluni is going crazy!"
After 10% of the boss's health was taken away, blood flashed on his body and he entered a violent state!
-15782!
Kruni instantly turned into a macho man and chopped down with an axe, causing the damage to Zhang Yang to soar!
The shield wall was already there, just in case the boss went berserk! Zhang Yang decisively activated the shield wall!
The equipment effect of Shield Titan Barrier can extend the shield wall by 5 seconds, and the duration of the ostentatious shield wall can suddenly reach up to 15 seconds!
Cut! Cut! Cut!
9%, 8%, 7%… 3%!
After 15 seconds, Kuluni only had 3%, or 50,000 health left!
2%!
1%!
0%!
"Ding! You killed Kuruni and gained 1.66 million experience points!"
Snapped!
The goblin boss raised his legs, threw away his axe, and died on the ground, with the loot scattered all over the ground.
Zhang Yang's attention was immediately attracted by an axe emitting a golden luster, and he quickly reached out to touch it.
[Goblin Beheading Axe] (Gold, one-handed axe)
Attack power: 732-1132
Attack interval: 2.6 seconds
DPS: 358
Equip: Increases your critical strike chance by 1%.
Unidentified
Required level: 80
Unfortunately, it's not a 2.8 second top-grade weapon! But it's still a level 80 gold-grade weapon after all. After identification, the damage is much stronger than the Xuanming Sword!
From now on, use the Goblin Beheading Axe to kill a single monster, and use the Mysterious Sword to kill a group of monsters!
Zhang Yang put the Goblin Beheading Axe into his backpack and went to look at the other drops from the boss. The drops from this Kuluni were really mixed, including a Chaos Orb that increased the backpack space, a magic scroll, and a rune book.
[Magic Scroll: Extreme Excitement] (Consumable)
Use: Increases the attack power of team members (up to 10 people) by 30%, but reduces their armor by 50% for 30 seconds.
Required level: 80
This scroll is very powerful when fighting bosses. Anyway, the armor of output professions is pitifully small, so it doesn't matter if it is reduced by 50%, but the 30% damage increase is real! Especially since all nine members of Zhang Yang's team have the skill of God and Demon Dance, the damage increase is 30%... This is no joke!
After using up the Chaos Orbs, Zhang Yang's backpack space reached 90 slots. Unfortunately, the number of Chaos Orbs was too small, and even if players got one, they would usually use it up themselves, and rarely sell it. Even if Zhang Yang wanted to increase the backpack space to 200 slots, he couldn't!
He has now learned to collect herbs, because he has various levels of potions and remedies in his alchemy enlightenment, and the backpack space is really not enough! ).
