Although the damage effect of the frost aura is not as strong as that of the fire aura, it has an additional deceleration effect, which is actually more applicable. Because Cheng Xueyao is a long-range attack profession, she needs to keep a distance from players or monsters. This frost aura can not only decelerate, but also decelerate the group. The range of action is larger than Zhang Yang's thunder strike, which is very powerful.
This naturally made Cheng Xueyao very happy, and she blew a kiss to Zhang Yang in public. This naturally earned him resentful looks from Fatty Han and the others, and also made Sun Xinyu and the other girl roll their eyes at her.
Damn, no woman can be messed with. He just pinched her face when she was delivering coffee. Was it necessary to retaliate so blatantly
After putting away the Ice Source Pearl, everyone left the Great Snow Mountain and came to the Shadow Mountain shrouded in black fog.
The two mountains in front of them both had halo effects, and this place was no exception. As soon as they entered the Shadow Mountain area, they received a system prompt: "Ding! You are affected by the Shadow Halo!"
[Shadow Aura]: Reduces your attack power by 10%.
Everyone was very unhappy. For most people, they would rather lose some blood than have their attack power weakened. They were already used to the large damage numbers, and when they were suddenly weakened, it was as unpleasant as eating a fly.
But Han Yingxue was happy. She was a lazy person by nature. Since everyone would not be hurt all the time, she could take the opportunity to be lazy.
Although it was unpleasant, the monster still had to be fought. The team moved forward courageously and soon saw a monster unique to this mountain.
[Shadow Walker] (Elite, Elemental Creature)
Level: 230
HP: 115 million
Armor value: 14270
Melee attack power: 98335-158335 (physical attack judgment, but causes shadow damage)
Skill:
[Shadow Blast]: Throw a shadow bomb at a target, which explodes after 3 seconds, causing 120,000 shadow damage to the target and all targets within 10 meters.
Note: Shadow Walkers are loyal subordinates of Shadow Lord Madagaro, patrolling the territory for their master.
These monsters were pitch black and translucent, with numerous black particles floating around them, a bit like the ghosts seen in movies. As soon as they appeared, there were also eight of them, rushing towards the team with murderous intent.
Naturally, everyone rushed forward immediately, and the three tanks grabbed the monster and started beating it up.
Shadow Explosion is still quite annoying. It's completely random who it lands on. If you're unlucky and get hit by eight elements in a row, that means nearly 1 million HP is gone! Although Cheng Xueyao and other people with "poor" equipment got several pieces of Heavenly Sacred Artifacts and Earthly Sacred Artifacts from the previous two bosses, they are not at level 210 yet and cannot wear new equipment, so their HP is still the original 1.5 million, which is also very unbearable.
But no one would be so unlucky as to be hit by eight bombs in a row, but if the people who were hit by the bombs did not dodge in time, it is possible that everyone in the team would be hit by eight bombs in a row. Fortunately, no one would know the power of the bombs and would not run away after being hit. Such a fool would naturally not be added to the team.
Soon, the eight monsters fell to the ground in pieces, dropping some core fragments and other items that could only be sold in stores, but there was also one thing whose use no one knew for the time being.
[Shadow Ball] (Consumable)
Use: The mortal enemy of light, releases the power of darkness, can curb the wrath of light. Range: 30 meters. Cooldown time: 200 seconds.
Required level: 200
This is a strange consumable, which seems to restrain a certain skill, but no one knows what it is specifically, so they give it to Zhang Yang for safekeeping - after all, he has the largest backpack space!
But Zhang Yang was lamenting. His backpack was big, but he still had to carry a lot of potions. When it came to the remaining space, he was more nervous than ordinary players! But these animals refused to listen, and his protests were ignored.
It must be said that the 10% attack power reduction still greatly affects the efficiency of killing monsters, which at least reduces their attack speed by 10%. Moreover, because of the existence of Shadow Bomb, everyone dares not pull too many monsters at a time, otherwise if they throw bombs one after another, the team will have to dodge bombs all the time, and they will not be able to kill!
Monsters along the way would still drop Shadow Orbs. Although the drop rate was not very high, they were in groups of 200. When the team finally reached the top of the mountain 20 days later, Zhang Yang's backpack was already full and he had to ask others to share the burden.
If you count, each person carries about 4 sets of Shadow Balls on average, but no one knows what they are used for. However, considering that the items dropped by the monsters on the first two mountains are related to the final killing of the boss, they dare not take the risk of throwing these things away.
There is still a huge circular altar on the top of the mountain. The boss also stands in the center of the altar. His body over 30 meters high makes it eye-catching. His dark body is like a black hole, which absorbs the surrounding light from time to time and drains the area near it into a black area.
[Shadow Lord Madagaro] (Saint-level leader, elemental creature)
Level: 240
HP: 12 billion
Armor value: 37330
Melee attack power: 360873-460873
Skill:
[Dark Waltz]: Sing a dark song of death, dealing 400,000 shadow damage to all targets within 100 meters.
[Claws of Darkness]: Deals physical damage to the target equal to 150% of melee attack.
[Dark Maelstrom]: Releases a large vortex. If no five players enter it within five seconds to stop the surge of dark energy, the Dark Maelstrom will explode, deducting 99% of the current effective health of all players within 100 meters. After entering the Dark Maelstrom, players will not be able to perform any actions, and the Dark Maelstrom can only be disintegrated after 20 seconds.
[Shadow of Darkness]: Increases Madagaro's attack power by 100%, which can be stacked. Chanting time: 2 seconds.
Note: The King of Darkness is derived from the Dark Source Pearl absorbing shadow element particles and represents the power of shadow!
Seeing the boss's skills, everyone frowned at the same time. Dark Waltz is the boss's ultimate move, which is an ability that every big boss has. It is also the key to determining whether a boss can become world-class - the frequency of use.
This can be ignored, and it is something that needs to be taken. As for the Dark Claw, it seems to be a skill that is only used on the main tank. With Zhang Yang's defense and health, he can take it now, and it will be easier to take it after activating the Heritage Transformation.
The key is the Dark Vortex and Dark Sorrow.
The Dark Whirlpool must be blocked, otherwise one explosion will deduct 99% of everyone's current health. If you follow it up with a Dark Waltz, you will be sent directly to the graveyard! Although five people's output must be sacrificed, people like Cheng Xueyao can't cause much damage due to level suppression, so they are just cannon fodder.
However, the final shadow of death...
"It should be possible to interrupt it, or it should be cast instantly. Why does it take 2 seconds to cast?"
"If this skill is cast frequently, we need to discuss how to break the chain!"
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's not transform, let's try it out first!"
"Um!"
Everyone nodded, and under Zhang Yang's leadership, they rushed towards the boss in a mighty manner.
"Hahaha, a bunch of weak reptiles, you dare to break into my territory, go to hell!" Madagaro roared, waving a big black hand and slapping Zhang Yang who was rushing in the front.
Bang!
Zhang Yang raised his shield to meet the boss's attack, and immediately chopped back with an axe, causing considerable damage to the boss.
The team dispersed and surrounded the boss.
"You weakling, I can crush you with just one finger!" Madagaro said with disdain, and actually stretched out a finger, shook it, and pressed it towards Zhang Yang.
Claws of Darkness!
Start as solid as a rock!
-306575!
It should have caused more than 550,000 damages, but due to Zhang Yang's solid defense, it only caused 300,000 damages, fully demonstrating Zhang Yang's terrifying defensive ability!
"Interesting!" The boss laughed, and suddenly a series of obscure and difficult to decipher songs were heard.
Dark Waltz!
Although both are "singing" type skills, the boss sings many times faster than the little girl. He has finished singing all the "lyrics" in just 3 seconds. All of a sudden, black energy poured into everyone's body. Everyone's health plummeted and they suffered 300,000 points of basic shadow damage.
Before one wave subsided, another wave arose. At this time, the boss showed its powerful power as a saint-level boss. It had just finished singing the previous dark waltz, and it started singing the second dark waltz without any pause in between.
Moreover, because of the special casting mechanism of Dark Waltz, it does not conflict with any skills. The boss can sing Dark Waltz while using other skills, and the damage is extremely fierce. For those who have not activated the inheritance transformation, the blood volume is like floating in the wind and rain, fluctuating up and down!
"Wow, you stinky boss, you are cheating, how can you sing so fast!" Wei Yan'er screamed. Her War Rhapsody could only be compressed to 18 seconds of singing time, which was totally incomparable to the boss's 3 seconds of singing.
"Sister Yan'er, go learn crosstalk. After you learn it, you will be able to speak fluently and fluently!"
"Fatty, I don't stutter, so can't I speak fluently?"
Zhang Yang was moved and said, "Little girl, when you speak in the game, it is not through your vocal cords, tongue, or mouth, but also a kind of brain nerve activity. How fast you can speak is not determined by physical conditions, but by your thoughts!"
