Chapter 1107: with translation of chapter title
Two minutes, according to Zhang Zhi's calculated time, on the Yanhuang side we can only suppress the boss's healing for two minutes.
Although the group healing technique, plus Yanhuang members taking blood medicine themselves, can delay as much as possible, it is very limited.
After two minutes, the number of casualties will be very high, and the remaining number will be insufficient to suppress the boss's healing.
This is even under the condition of maximizing the Priest's group healing and Purification Spell.
If we switched to a guild with less smooth coordination, we couldn't even drag out this bit of time!
Su Sheng didn't answer, just swinging his sword with all his might!
Triggered!!
If Execution Skill: Hunting is not triggered, this boss battle will fail.
Two minutes!
Su Sheng's long sword in hand swung out successive afterimages.
With Su Sheng's output technique, combined with the agility of the long sword, he can almost achieve three strikes per second.
Moreover, on average every two strikes trigger one strike, the passive effect of this long sword means he can deliver about 4 to 5 attacks per second.
One minute…
Su Sheng struck roughly over 200, approaching over 300 hits.
But the Hunting Skill never triggered…
Although Su Sheng was frustrated, he also understood this was normal, after all the opponent is at least a Commander-level Boss.
If this Execution Skill: Hunting passive could be triggered that easily when facing a Boss unit, it would be heaven-defying.
When facing Wang Lingchuan and the Ancient Dragon before, it was purely luck, but luck alone was useless; their fourth‑rebirth job panel had rank suppression, rendering my Slash skill completely ineffective.
Now over a minute has passed, and the Yanhuang side has already lost many people.
The suppression of the boss's HP is obvious; we can no longer reduce its HP.
At this moment the boss's HP is stuck at 6‑7%, beginning to slowly rise.
However, Yanhuang members here continue to output despite the poisoned state, so the recovery is also slow.
One minute!!
Su Sheng continued waving his long sword in hand.
But unfortunately…
Another 30 seconds passed, the Yanhuang members here have lost many; over 4000 have been reduced to about 600‑700.
The boss's HP is now clearly hard to suppress, fluctuating between 8% and 9%.
If not for the Rend effect from Su Sheng's skill, even the boss's HP would already be over 10%.
A Commander-level Boss really isn't that easy!
But Su Sheng still hasn't given up.
Everyone is watching Su Sheng's movements, all expecting a miracle to happen.
Especially Zhu Meng Junjie of the Dream Building Squad here.
This Boss counts as his mission Boss; as a result, the Yanhuang brothers suffered heavy losses, and he also feels a bit embarrassed.
Another 30 seconds passed…
The two‑minute suppression time threshold has arrived!!
The Yanhuang side's four Thousand-Person Teams now have only about 3100+ left.
After removing the Priest players who have little output capability.
The remaining players can no longer suppress the boss's HP.
Moreover, at this point almost everyone is poisoned.
In the short term there's no way to dispel the poison quickly, so we will likely lose more manpower later.
It's really that the Rat King Boss's plague state is too disgusting.
Unless there is a group purification spell, or the attributes can reach overwhelming superiority, but given the Rat King Boss's rank, achieving overwhelming attributes before the Fourth Rebirth is obviously unlikely.
Therefore, in summary, to take down this Boss with normal means, there is only one way.
Stack player levels!
Directly ignore the poison damage at this final stage and recklessly pour in manpower.
Right now there's no way to suppress this boss's healing.
Su Sheng finally stabbed out a Fang Skill… luckily triggering the Rend effect.
5 seconds, the boss's HP is stuck at 9%.
In the last 5 seconds window, even the Deadly Tear Fang skill is still a bit off cooldown.
After 5 seconds, the boss's HP will recover to over 10%.
As long as it exceeds 10% of total HP, the passive of the Hunting Skill cannot be triggered.
In the final 5 seconds, Su Sheng frantically waved his long sword.
But unfortunately, the Luck Goddess did not favor Su Sheng this time.
After 5 seconds passed, the Rend effect ended, the boss's HP jumped and recovered to over 10%.
Several members of the Yanhuang management who knew of Su Sheng's Hunting Skill, upon seeing the boss's HP recover to over 10%, all showed a hint of helplessness.
Failed!
Once again we lost about over 1000 manpower, and in the end we still couldn't take down this Boss.
Although unwilling, there's nothing we can do.
As the plague toxin continued to act, the remaining Yanhuang players dropped again to 2800, about over 900, for a total loss of over 1100.
This boss really has twists and turns!
The earlier strategy was smooth sailing, with no casualties. Who would have thought that after the final 10% berserk phase, over 1,100 people would be wiped out directly.
The loss of over 1,100 people in this phase is not small; now the difficulty to level up is too great.
The further along, the greater the loss of levels.
Su Sheng was still in front of the boss, feeling very unwilling.
"Chairman, let's retreat; there's nothing we can do. If we want to take down this boss, we need more manpower, mainly priests in position." Zhang Zhi said.
To avoid piling up lives, we need sufficient priest manpower.
With group healing technique plus purification, if coordinated well, we can minimize casualties as much as possible.
However, according to the current calculation, even if we gather all the priests of Yanhuang, it's still not enough.
If we want to continue tackling this boss, Zhang Zhi has already been thinking about borrowing a priest guild from some guild.
But Su Sheng didn't want to give up; there was still one last chance.
The boss's HP jumped again, and at the same time, Su Sheng's long sword suddenly changed into Divine Thunder Magic Light!
One last gamble.
Demon Spirit Pain Strike!!
HP limit 99%!
Under the buff of Holy Words, plus the extra bonus from the Xuan Yi mounted state, Su Sheng's HP reached over 20!
A spear thrust forward, dealing over 200,000 true damage!
But the boss's HP didn't drop; it rose.
The boss recovers several million HP per second; this over 200,000 true damage is just a drop in the bucket.
At the same time, Su Sheng's plague state jumped.
HP emptied!
HP locked at one point!
Lion King Stance!!
Immediately after, he started stacking buffs again.
Lion's Fury!
Falling Demon Body!
Divine Artifact Shield's buff! Victory!! Activate!
Golden Dragon Body, activate!
All kinds of messy buffs activated!
Under the terrifying stacking of buffs…
Su Sheng's level 79 attack and defense reached 11,925; with the Holy Flame buff and a bunch of monkey tricks, his attack power reached over 27,000, already close to 30,000.
Spear swung, Armor-breaking Slash!
Instantly, the boss's armor was weakened by 80%!
Immediately after, thunder light surged!
Simultaneously, the Critical Hit Aura activated!
Flap wings!
The Xuan Yi soared into the air!
Demon God Lightning!!
The long spear flashing with thunder lightning smashed toward the boss's big eyes.
Boom!
The thunderbolt directly covered an area; at this moment, everyone remaining stared wide-eyed at this scene.
Their chairman, this man who is the top player of the whole server, can he create a miracle?
Critical hit!!
But unfortunately, it didn't trigger weak point judgment, only dealing double damage, outputting over 900,000, close to one million damage.
But it's not enough…
This over one million damage looks astonishing, but for a boss of this level, it's really somewhat lacking.
Su Sheng also felt helpless…
In the end, the miracle didn't happen!
Su Sheng was aiming at the boss's eyes; normally it should have been a weak point judgment, but at the crucial moment, the boss closed its eyes!
It struck the eyelid, and no weak point damage was judged.
At this time, the boss's HP jumped again, recovering to around 14%.
There's no chance left at all!
Squeak~
The Rat King Boss's eyes opened, its greenish eyes looking at Su Sheng in midair, as if mocking.
Su Sheng fell down!
But still unwilling to give up, he swung his spear and activated the just-cooled Deadly Lion Fang at the Rat King's eyes!
Trigger Rend once more for 5 seconds; if we ignore the cost and let all players attack again, we could still push the boss's HP below 10%, but there's only at most one or two seconds for ourselves to attack.
Pfft!!
Hit!
But Su Sheng's movement suddenly froze.
And all the Yanhuang members present were also dumbfounded~
Squeak~
A mournful wail rang out, and the Rat King BOSS flipped its belly and died.
At that moment, the black string of nine 9s in the air began to fade away slowly.
Speechless!!
Su Sheng glanced at the skill description of Deadly Lion Fang.
Deadly Lion Fang.
The lion's Fang is deadly (Advanced Fang).
Damage: 280%.
Critical hit on weak point increased to 380%.
And it slightly raises the chance of dealing Fatal Damage when the skill hits a weak point.
Chance to cause Rend; hitting a weak point guarantees Rend.
Cost: 20 Battle Intent.
Cooldown: 30 seconds.
It truly is that when you plant flowers with intention they don't bloom, yet when you plant willows unintentionally they provide shade.
The execution effect of this skill has a lower trigger probability compared to the Hunting Skill.
However, the only advantage is that the execution effect of this skill seems to have the same probability for both BOSSes and ordinary units, as long as the weak point is hit.
I didn't expect that the hard‑won Hunting effect I struggled to trigger wouldn't activate, yet at the last moment Deadly Lion Fang's execution kicked in.
It really was the goddess of luck playing a joke on Su Sheng.
Zhang Zhiye was also dumbfounded, already thinking of regrouping manpower tomorrow and then borrowing a Priest Guild from Huan Yu or Qi Mingxing.
Who would have thought that at the critical moment a sudden twist would occur.
"Chairman is awesome!!"
"V587!!!"
In an instant, the remaining Yanhuang members all erupted in cheers.
Su Sheng also laughed at this point.
Luck is good!
At that moment, Su Sheng looked at the loot beneath the Rat King, and then was stunned again.
The others also looked at the loot at this point, and all were equally stunned.
"WTF!"
"Unfortunately I'm uncultured, a single 'WTF' can conquer the world!"
"Two, two, two, two red beams!!!"
The Yanhuang members exclaimed again.
At this moment, Lin Huan's beautiful eyes glimmered, watching the dazed Su Sheng, wondering whether after logging off today she should have Su Sheng buy a lottery ticket or something.
Although the Yanhuang family is quite prosperous at this time, their wealth isn't lacking that lottery prize.
Glug~
Even Su Sheng, who has weathered great storms and still holds a Divine Artifact, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This loot is truly extravagant.
Two red beams, two orange beams, and the remaining are one green and one white.
There is also a massive pile of countless Gold Coins, like a small mountain.
The drop rate of this boss is literally insane!!
"Chairman, go draw the prize."
Chen Guan chuckled and spoke.
Su Sheng didn't hesitate, immediately flipping off the mount... down the Sun Ni.
Bend down to pick up!
Gold Coin passed over directly, though the amount is not small...
The green and white junk equipment were skipped.
Looking at an orange one...
The first is an item.
Rat King Fur (orange)
…
…
An epic-level item; though it's a bit of a waste, handing this to Mom should be fine.
Mom's current tailoring level is not low; with this material, she should be able to craft an epic Leather Armor.
Next, Su Sheng looked at the second item.
Rat King Saw Blade (orange)
Attack: 600
Additional: Agility +380
Additional: Strength +330
Additional: Critical Damage +20%
Additional: Plague
Level: 70
Description: omitted
Plague (Passive): A dagger forged from the Rat King's teeth; attacks have a chance to inflict Plague poisoning on the target.
A rather nice pair of level‑70 daggers.
All Assassin Guild members present, including Chen Guan, lit up with interest.
Base stats: this dagger, among level‑70 epic gear, is truly top‑grade.
Moreover it adds Plague poisoning; although everyone knows the BOSS's Plague is never that exaggerated, it is certainly not weak.
"You assassin players decide for yourselves."
Su Sheng immediately tossed the dagger in his hand to Chen Guan.
Chen Guan chuckled, then gathered the Assassin Guild to mutter on the side.
Clearly they were discussing the allocation of this dagger.
Next comes the main act. Su Sheng looked at one of the red
Plague Orb (red)
…
…
"Ahem, Chairman, this is our quest item."
Zhu Meng Junjie spoke up at this moment.
Su Sheng smacked his lips; the quest item turned out to be red, which was a bit of a pity.
But Su Sheng promptly tossed the quest item to Zhu Meng Junjie.
The last red one remained.
Su Sheng took a deep breath!
Then his eyes hardened!!
Plague Step (red)

Added: Agility +300
Added: Constitution +300,
Added: Magic Defense +100
Added: HP +4000
Added: Plague Path.
